AINTREE RACES.

These interesting races, which, with the sporting world, travel
now become as popular as any in tle kingdom, commenced on
I Tuesday last, the Hue. E. M. LI. Mostyn and F. R. Price,
Esqrs., stewards. The day proved exceedingly fine, but the
attendance was rather thin, compared with the first day on
previous races at this course : this was probably owing to the
sport provided not being particularly good. The course, from
the rain which fell on the previous days, was in excellent order,
and the sportsmen anticipated a fine week's enjoyment. The
regulations of the county magistrates prohibited every species
of gambling, and no tables were to be seen on the ground,

noticed the Marquis of Worcester, Lord Stanley, Lord Moly,

WenNcsnAv.

This (lay the course presented a most animated appearance
in consequence of the great number of visitors who attended.
The cup race, on which so touch moueylids been speculated in
various parts of the country, was of course the principal feature
on the day's sport. General Chasse maintained his position as
first favourite to the last, and considerable sums of money were
laid out upon him by his owner, Sir James Boswell, although
the bettina•Men generally fancied the field. The Grand Stand
was crowded to excess, the lower part with fashionably attired
females. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen who attended
to-day, were the Earl of Derby. the Marquisof Worcester, Lord
Stanley. Lord Molyneux, Lord Wilton, Sir 'Thomas Massey.

Sir T. Stanley's eh c Deuhall
This was a very prettily contested race. Sir Thos. Stanley's
Denim!l was the favourite, 5 to 3 being freely laid out upon him.
-Hectic took the lead, and maintained until the turn of the hill
coming home, when Denhalt challenged, and both ran in
abreast; the race Was beautiful, and the judge decided it a dead
heat. Immediately after the Sefton Stakes bad been run for
the race was again contested, and the betting became even.
The horses kept together near the whole distance, making
another beautiful race. Darling, who was inside when within
thirty yards of the winning-post, made a grand push, and suc-

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIVE OF AN AGEO-FEHAI.I{.-011Thurs-
day morning the body of Elizab.7tb Roberts, u woman seventy-
two years of age, Who lived as servant in the family of Mrs.
Smith, milliner anddress-maker, 129,Crawford-street, Padding-
ton, was fouud in the water-butt tinder the following eircumstan-
cest—lt appears that the poor creature, whohad been in the fa-
mily nearly twenty.years, had received warning to leave in con-
sequence of her age and infirmities, which notice expired y es-
.terday. After receiving the notice she appeared very melan-
choly and dejected, and seemed to consider it as a great hard-.
ship to be turned off in her old age, when she was incapable of
providing for herself, and ex•dresSeit her determination to• com-
mit suicide. She retired, to 6-0 at the usual hour on Wednes-
day night, and about seven o,clock on the following morning
Mrs. Smith was horrified at beholding her in the water-butt with
her heels uppermost, She had her night-clothes on, and had
been in the water about an hour. Mr. Wildgoose, a surgeon
residing next door, promptly Attended, and endeacoured to re-
store animation, but without effect.—London paper.
CONSRRVATtSM IN TUE BonouGH OF MARY i.FnoNn.—The
conservatives in this borough have every prospect of resuming
that' weight in the election of.. parliamentary representatives
which their wealth and intelligence should at all times entitle
them to. In their very successful efforts. in registering the
voters they have somewhat disturbed the tranquillity of the
radical party, who openly profess the practice of illegal exer-
tions to defeat them. In fact, at the Marylebone vestry on
Saturday last, Mr. Kensett, one of its members, in speaking
upon the recent refusal of that body to allow the conservatives
to take copies of their rate books; plainly slated that he thought
it a duty incumbent upon the vestry to act even contrary to taw
in order to defeat their opponents. The right of the rate payers
to make extracts from the rate books appears to have become a
secondary consideration. Lord liadstock very properly lec-
tured the vestry upon the understood perinissiou which has
been given to the radical party to copy the rate books. The
conservative association in this borough already consists of up-
wards of fourteen hundred members, who propose giving a
grand festival on Ft iday next, or early in the ensuing week.—
Molting Post.

We believe there is no truth in the rumoured intention of the
naval promotion, adverted to in the Portsmouth papers. Cer-
tainly nothing of the sort there described is known in
.quarters
likely to be acquainted with any such intention %sere it enter.
