About a-qusrter past three fifteen out of the
seventeen that started, had taken their preliminary
canters ; and, some minutes after, the other two,
Attila and Master Thomas, made their appearance
in company, took a short gallop, and joined in the
customary parade from the grand stand to the
starting-post. After one slight failu re, an effective
start was accomplished, and the race commenced,
Attila taking the lead at a strong pace. About
200 ynrds from home. Blue Bonnet wrested the
lead from Fireaway, was never after caught, and
won very easily by a length. The race was run in
3 minutes 18 leconda. Value of the stakes,
£3,600.

WEDNESDAY. ??...-.
Tlit bill of fare this afternoon was rather more
prolific of sport than is usual on the Wednesday
at these meetings, but contained only two races of
any interest, the Municipal and Foal Stakes. The
most interesting part of the dny'a proceedings
was the St. Lcger Bottling at the rooms. We
heard nothing of absenteeism or compromise, nor
did anything transpire that would lead us to a
suipicion of its being otherwise than pleasant.
The races came off in the following order i

Recantation of Popeiiy— In tho pro

A; D. 1564, received into communion with
tho unitod Church of Engluud and Ireland,
by tlio Roy. Henry Denson Jonos. The

IiipnoVESiENT in Tbade.— It is with con
siderable satisfaction': wo aro at loiigth
onablod to state there is an improvomont in
some of the branches of tho hosiery and laco
trades. 'Wo ' were somowhat surprised last
weokin having an;-ontire'now manufacture
put into our hands, to which wo alluded
some months ': since,, numoly, India rubbor
edgings. They 'are made of about four India
rubbor throads, and have a very long- fancy
odging or poarl oh ono side, in imitation of
thoso made from tho loom, but much longer ;
this, which is noar half mi inch ?- broad, wo
think is a ; defect, as half thowidth of edgo
would look much better. ' The bobbin throads
wero silk, and ' tho articlo is sound, good,
and elegant. The : inventor proposes it.to
bo used as an odging for caps and other gar
ments;, these it is to bo sowed on when
strotched 'to suit the views of tho wearer,
and whon sot at liberty it will form tho. gar
ment, into regular l- gathers' .without any
further troublo ; this bus boon a desideratum
long wanting in millinei*y. and man tun or
dress making. ' It is equally applicable to
bo attached to hosiory upon: tho patont
principle. _ This article (India rubbor wob)
is being gradually extended to small and
half hose, for which latter articlo it is pecu
liary applicable. It is now almost generally
used to the wrists of gloves, whether mado
of silk or cotton, It is with great pleasure
we state that thoro is . some improvement in
the drawer and pantaloon branch, as we
know several , hands who have been set on
within this last wook, some of them upon
full work. Tho making of full-fashioned
coats and trousors still continues and is
slowly progressing. — Ibid.
Death of William MAaiKN, Esq., L..L.D.
—With deep regret wo havo to record tho
death of Dr. Maginn, on 20th August, at his
residence, WaUon-upon-Thamos. . Doctor
Maginn was in his 40th year, and for the
last year and upwards suffered from con
firmed consumption. He has loft a widow
and throo children, wo foar without any pro
vision but tho claim of tho lamented de
ceased upon tho gratitude of the country,
and more especially of the wealthy and high
minded Conservative party. That claim
is. however, a stronir ono ; for more than
twenty yoars, Dr. Maginn laboured for the
Conservative cause without relaxation, and
to the support of that cause ho brought
more learning, more genius, and more zeal,
than any othor man connected with the
public pross during the sumo period. — Ibid.
The Queen's regiments including the army of
reserve for Afghanistan, and formed it is said,
at the instance of ' the Duke,' to be commanded
by Lieut. Gen. Sir Jaspar Nichols, are the ICth
Lancers, 3d and 39th Regiments. — Atlas.
Leave of absence to an officer cannot now be
given without the express sanction in writing of
his Grace the Duke of 'Wellington. A rumour
still exists that the noble Duke holds the office of
Commander in-Chief merely pro tern., It is also
reported that the Queen has intimated a wish Jthat
his Grace should be succeeded on his retirement
by Prince Albert.— Ibid. . . . V
