A FEW GUESSES ON THE LIVERPOOL RACES.

The Produce this year, if I rightly foretel,
Will be won by Mr. Mostyn's bay colt "Brunel,"
Then comes a Match, in which "April Noddy"
Will come in the first, for a bumper of toddy.
The Bickerstaffe Stakes, just a mile o'er the flat,
Ought to fall to the lot of" All-round-my-Hat.
Then follows the Sefton, in which Bulkeley's "Emma"
Will shew as the winner, bar a dilemma.
Then for the Mersey, if you're well off for soap,
Lay it on thick on R. Bennett's "Hope."
For the Chesterfield Stakes back the colt by Sheet Anchor,
Who ought to be first, for they say he's a spanker.
I must now make a pause—nay, I'd better give up,
For 1 scarcely dare venture to guess at the Cup;
For I don't think the favonrites are likely to win,
So I'll pick out another to risk with my tin ;
And here goes at random, Mr. Cook I give you joy,
And think you will win with "What,"—no,—with Tru boy ."
:TIL' ohthi rve triLhpkee
Now, had I thousand—on the Foal—l'd advance it,
I will prove a walk over for Lord Wesminster's "Lancet."
The Handicap (Derby) the judge will decide, is
Gain'd by Lord Eglington's nag "Aristides;"
In half-an-hour after you will then know,
The Free Handicap is gain'd by " Benbow."
"Advice,"
Then after the dinner, and I hope lots of cheer,
"Red Deer."
The Grosvenor Stakes, I am sure you'll agree,
Ought to go to " The Best of the Ten or of Three.

THE OGIBBEWAY (OR CHIPPWWA) INDIANR—We
had an opportunity last week of visiting these extraordi-
nary men, and seeing them go through a number of the
dances of their extraordinary country, at the Assembly-
rooms, Great George-street. We can recommend our
readers to lose no time in availing themselves of the op-
portunity now offered to them, of seeing in their own land,
highly favourable specimens of a people, whom oppres-
sion, and we shame to say it, civilization itself are fast
exterminating. Another generation may riot leave upon
the face of the earth a solitary relic of this or any other
native Indian tribe. We may add that much interesting
information with respect to their manners, &c., by the
gentleman who, during the temporary indispositon of
Captain Rankin, superintended the exhibition.

.. STEALING LEAD.—An ill-looking little man, named
William Dodd, an old offender, was yesterday placed at
the bar of the Police-court, charged with stealing a
quantity of lead, which was produced, folded up in cakes
or pieces. Police-officer John Croft said that at eleven
o'clock last night (Sunday) he saw the prisoner in a pas-
sage leading from the back of the houses in Brownlow-
street into Brownlow-hill, and on apprehending him
found he had a piece of the lead in his hand, which he
afterwards found corresponded with that of a spout be-
longing to one of the houses. Mrs. Ann Billington, the
owner of the house, said she saw the piece placed to a
spout of her house, and that it exactly corresponded, hav-
ing evidently been broken off. The other pieces were
found on the top of an out-house. The weight of the
lead was -upwards of 301 b. The prisoner declined to say
anything in explanation. He was committed tor trial.
