and 10 to 1 Loutherbourg.—Chapeau was lamed by a kick
from St. Luke just before starting, and did not run. The
Tranby colt went off with the lead at a good pace, Heron
lying second, and Mhhometan third, the others following
in their wake: they kept these places to the top of the hill,
where the running was taken up by Heron, Mahometan
lowing him for a few strides, when St. Luke took the second
place, Loutherbourg at the same time taking up a position in
front. They ran in this order to the rails, where Heron
dropped behind, and St. Luke became "first in the throng;"
Loutherbourg, however, was not disposed to let him keep
there long, for, as they approached the distance, he went to
his side. and a fine struggle for victory commenced; it was
nearly head and head to the stand, where it was apparent
that St. Luke had shot his bolt. About twenty yards from
the chair, Loutherbourg made hint safe, and in the end won
cleverly by a length. Heron was third, Mahometan fourth,
and Valentissirno fifth ; but none of them near the first two.

Poor Barnes, the clown of Covent-garden and Ihe contem-
porary on the bards of Bologna, Ellar, and Grimaldi, is
said to be in great distress. Paralysed by premature age
and incurable decrepitude, the "brief candle" of his life is
now flickering in its socket, and appeals to the hafids of hu-
manity for some nourishment to feed the last faint vestiges of
a lambent flame that nature, in her settled course, must soon
extinguish.

PATRICK'S DEVOTION.—On Sunday morning last, imme-
diately preceding the Communion service, three Irishmen
entered Trinity Church, Preston, one of whom walked down
the aisle to the front of the Communion Table, where having
made the sign of the cross in the true popish style, he knelt
in great earnestness, but the potations of 'spirits' he had
taken were more powerful than his desire to worship in

`spirit and in truth'.and in a few minutes he rolled on the
floor. He was, of course, immediately carried out to the
momentary interruption of the service and amidst loos of
pity from the congregation.—Blackburn Standard.
THE REV. Da. WOLFF AT THE VICE- IZEGA LODGE.—The
Rev. Dr Wolff had the honor of dining yesterday with his
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant at the Vice-Regal Lodge.
In the evening the Rev. Doctor lectured for three hours on
his missionary operations in the four quarters of the world in
connection with the evidences of Christianity, before his ex-
cellency, the Household and Staff. Upwards of fifty persons
were present, And amongst the number, his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Dublin.—Dublin Record.
The following has just come to hand :—"Hirani—Mudger,
who has been recently convicted of horse stealing at Ver-
mont, U.S., is said to be so expert a practitioner in animal
abduction, as to have performed the rare feat of seducing
away a horse on which its matter teas riding without his (the
rider, not the horse) having any notion of the matter. The
report adds, that he walked fifty-four miles at a sharp trot,
and only then discovered his horseless condition on walking
into a pond, to give, as he thought, his horse a drink, and
finding himself up to his ears in the cool element."

The radical town councils select their aldermen on exactly
the same principt- as that on which Lord Melbourne chooses
his faggot peers. The qualification for the gown is just such a
flaw in the candidate's political or private fame as shall have
caused his defeat in a municipal election contest ; whilst the
sole test for a liberal lord is his rejection as an "unfit" and
`improper" person to be the representative of a town or
county.
