Doncaster Races commenced on Monday. The weather on the first

day was fine, the ground in good order, most of the best horses in England were on the course or in the stable, and the company unu- sually numerous and fashionable. The Dutchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria honoured the races with their presence; and among the other distinguished persons, were the Dukes of Cleveland and Leeds and the Duke de Nemours; Lords Chesterfield, Wilton, Wharricliffe, Spencer, and Mostyn ; with a long list of sporting Ba- ronets, Colonels, and Captains. The best race on Monday was for Its Majesty's Plate of 100 guineas. Four miles.

Betting—(s to 2 on Zohrab. The gray made good running all the way, Zohrab lying up with him, and slum ving the jade throughout ; at the last turn he went rap, and at the stand the two were at it; the remaining ground was most se- verely contested, Zohrab winning by a head only. It struck us, however, that bad &complaint been 'mete, the Plate would have been awarded to Lord Derby, as Zuhrab hung upon the gray to the last, and nearly drove him upon the rails.

On Tuesday, the weather was unfavourable, except during the Great St. Leger race, when the rain ceased for a time. Still the company was very numerous. The following is the account of the running for

be St. Leger.

Betting at starting-11 to 8 against Queen of 'frumps (taken freely), 2 to 1 against horn-ca (taken), 7 to 1 against Preserve, 12 to 1 against Jupiter, 12 to I against Ascot (taken), 25 to one against brother to Hope, :33 to I against Trim, 40 to I against Turban, 40 to I against Manisel (Us, and any odds against Mundig. The betting was principally about the first two favourites, scarcely one of the others having a backer. After taking their preliminary gallops before the Grand Stand, the horses walked in line to the post, and were started without the slightest difficulty. Mr. Powlett's colt took the lead at a good pace, closely followed by Jupiter, Turban, Alamsel its, Ascot, and Preserve, all clustered together ; in the centre were Queen of Trumps and Trim, and its the rear bro- ther to Hope, Hornsea, and Mundig. On getting over the hill, Menisci On declined, nor could Jupiter live the pace many strides further ; brother to Hope now went up to the that lot, and Hornsea joined it on making the turn for the Red !louse. Trins, too, advanced to the front rank, ran a few yards with it, found it " too hot," and shut up, but in falling into the rear slipped on his haunches, and narrowly escaped a tumble. Powlett's colt carried on the runuing- until about kill way between the Red House and the rails, where he gave up the lead to Hornsea, with whom brother to Hope and Preserve were well laid up till a distance and a half from home, where the Queen of Trumps passed the other two, challenged llorusea, ran nearly head and head with him till about two• thirds of a distance from the winning-post, beat hint clean off before they reached the stand, and won in a canter by two lengths. Brother to Hope was sea up with Hornsea, but l'reserve was beaten four or five lengths from the winner, and all the rest were cut up so completely that we are enabled to assigns positions to each—namely, Ascot was 5tli, Powlett tith, Tuthan 7th, Jupiter llundig 9th, Itlanisel Otz 10th, and Trim 1 I th, the last two having pulled up. The race scan very. good ; value of the stakes, 1,800L Nr. Alostyn may congratulate himself upon the possession of a mate which has proved herself the best of her day, and dune what was never done before, won the Oaks and St. Leger. The settling will be heavy.

The settling for the St. Leger was very bad ; the winners being few and the losers many.

Mr. Itlostyn and the other gentlemen immediately connected with the mare, seldom put more than a pony or fifty on a race, so that neither on this or the Oaks did they win much beyond the stakes. Three or four of the south country gentlemen won malty all the money ; and the Lancashire speculators, or at least a portion of them, " threw in" for moderate amounts. Although so many were on the wring side, we heard of only one bolter, a mushroom better, who sprung up within the last few months, " cause it rather strong," and is non emit

The first race on Thursday appears to have been a very singular one: it was for the The Three year-old Stakes 01200 sovereigns each, 11 It; colts Sat. Glb., iillinns SA. 31b. St, Leger Course. 13 Subscribers. r. 1.1i41,1ale% ell. c. Curiolanus 1 link.. oileeds's ell. I. Marianne . . 2

Iletting-5 to 2 on Coriolanas. This was a very droll race, if that can be called it race which listed seventeeu minutes arid a half—precisely fourteen minutes and ten seconds more than the Great St. Leger was run iu over the saine ground. This charming couple star ted at a walk, and kept it up to the hill, whew something tickled Coriolanus into a trot of about four miles aa hour. Ot course, the mare did as lie did, and so they trotted for about fifty or sixty yards; Inc which time both a were so dreadfully distressed that, to prevent accident, they pulled up and resumed their walk ; at the mile-pust Coriolaims was again aggravated into a Dot, and again' of course, Mariaune waited upon him; at the lied House the horse actually burst into a catiter, arid at the rails asto- nished himself, the mare, and the spectators, by working himself into a gallop ; but it was "another guess" kind of thing now. The marc could walk with him, for she is half as long again, and she could trot with him, for the trot of a race-horse is not quite so fast as Rattler's or Tom Thumb's,—but to race with him was so entirely out of the question, that this little horse with a noble name, went in by himself. It was au-interesting race to look at. The great race of the day was for the Cup, or rather in this case, a Gold Candelabrum. The company was again very fashionable and numerous.

Sir J. Boswell's b. f. Bella. 4 years 5 Betting-6 to 5 on Chass6 (taken), 5 to 2 against Hornsea, and 3 to 1 against Touchstone. Bella, who was started to make running for The General. took the lead at a moderate pace, the favourite lying second, liornsea third, Shillelagh fourth, and Touchstone last; without any change of position or speed they ran to the bill, where the pace became severe, but there was no shitting of places till near the Red House, where Shillelagh became third, and Hornsea

fourth ; the mare carried on the running to the turn of the rails, where she com- pounded; The General took it up, followed by Hornsea, Touchstone, and Shil-

lelagh, to the distance, where the latter died away. The three then closed, and ran head and head to the corner of the stand, where The General was beaten; the run in between the other two was one of the severest ever seen, and it was only the last stride that enabled the judge to decide in favour of Touchstone by half a head. It would appear from this that Touchstone is good only with the Scotts, far out of their hands, The General has always beaten him. The last two suites were dune in 3 minutes 41 seconds.
