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 hist, for a hamper of toddy.
The Bicherstaffe Stakes, just a mile o'er the flat,
Ought to fall to the lot of"
Then follows the Sefton, in which Bulkeley's " Emma"
Will chew as the winner, bar a dilemma.
Then fur the Mersey, if you're well off for soap,
lay it on thick nit R. I' ennett's " Hope."
For the Chesterfield Stakes hack the colt by Sheet Anchor,
Whu 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 Cap;
For I don't think the favourites are likely to 1110,
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,"-1/o. with Tru boy.'
Now, had 1 thousand—on the Foal—l'd advance it,
I will prole a walk over for Lord Wesruinster's "Lancet."
The Handicap (Derby) the judge will decide,
Gain'd by Lord Fglington's nag " Aristides;"
In ha I'--an-hour after you will then know,
The Free Handicap is gaited by " Benbow."
For the Knowsley Dinner, Mr. Jaques's "Advice,"
I think very likely to come in fur a slice
Then after the dinner, and I hope lots of cheer,
The Leger will go to the famous " Bed Deer."
The Grosvenor Stakes, I am sure you'll agree,
Ought to go to " The Best of the Teu or of hree,

THE OG IDBEW AY (OR CU IPPPW A) INDIANS—We
had au opportunity last week of visiting these extraordi-
nary men, and seeing thfm go through a ❑umber of the
dances of their extraordinary countty, at the Ass( mbly-
rooms, Great George-stieet. We can recommend our
readers to lose no time in availing term-elves of the op-
port tii,ity now offered to them, of seei, gin their own land,
bkhiy favourable specimens of a people, whom oppres-
sion, and we shame to say it, civilization itself are fast
exterminating. Another generation may not leave upon
the face of the earth a solitary relic of this or any other
native Indian tithe. IVe 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 Pulice-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_
