TATTERSALL'S, THDRSDAY.
DERBY.
So thin was the attendance and so few were in the vein
to back horses, that to attempt a list of market prices
would only be to lead our readers astray ; we,• therefore,
confine ourselves to the bets actually made :-1,000 to 40
agst Idas ; 1000 to 40 agst Old England ; 1000 to 30 agst
Weatherbit ; 1000 to 30 agst Minikin colt; 875 to 25,

• A GOOD SEASON:Lturing the late racing season Nat
(properly Elnathan Flatman) had 212 rides, including 65
winners, 5 walks over, and 1 dead beat.
'A match for £2OO came off on the Chesterfield race-

aged, and Mr. Sheldon's ch li, aged, list ilb each, which
was won by the mare by four lengths.
GREAT WALKING MATCH FOR £2o.—On Tuesday the

came off at Hampton. The distance contested was twelve
miles. At the tenth mile Bee was in a leading position,
which he continued to the end; beating his -adversary by •
400 yards. The twelve miles were accomplished in one
hour and fifty-seven minutes. -

CAPTURE OF BURGESS.--We gave, last week, an
account of the arrest, and subsequent suicide of Elder,
the accomplice of illurges, the forger, together with the
escape of the latter in a boat. Our accounts by the Great
Western communicate his arrest, examination, and com-
mittal by the authorities at Boston.
THE 4cREW PILE LIGHTHOUSE.—This lighthouse is
Belfast Lough, stands about a ile below Gannoyle,
where the water is never-less than nine feet, and the floor
of the house is placed upwards of twenty feet above low-
water mark, amply allowinc, for any rise or swell. The
ground beneath is, to the depth of six feet, loose sand and
gravel, resting on tenacious blue clay ; screw piles of three
and a halt feet circumference are here sunk to the depth
of sixteen feet, upon which the superstructure is firmly
secured, to form a basis for the erection of the house;
this is a novel building, and is intended for a pilot house,
and is fitted for this purpose with fifteen commodious
sleeping berths, with separate apartments for the captain
and his mate. The light can be seen only at six miles
distance, lest it should be mistaken for any of the great
lights along the coast. The platform on which the house
stands is in diameter thirty-three feet, while the house is
but twenty-six feet—thus leaving a commodious prome-
nade three and a half feet wide all round, from which the
pilots can descry vessels arriving. The whole expense of
this important erection, including the lighting apparatus,
was but .£l3oo.—Mining Journal.
