Meridian, late the property of Count Hahn, met with an accident at Hambleton, on Saturday the 21st, and was obliged to be shot.

A second heat for the Leger having enabled the discreet to square the circle on the very safest system, a most comfortable settling has been the result. Business, however, on future events has been by no means heavy; that on the October Handicaps hitherto much below the average. So far the Doncaster running has been the great line to go by for them. In the Derby the great feature is the advance of the Prime Minister, consequent on a most favourable début at Warwick. At present he bids fair to realize his title in the market; Wadlow following up his last year's plan, with another formidable second horse in Aaron Smith, for whose advance Doncaster furnishes the reference; indeed, the racing for the month supplies altogether the best key to the yea and nay on this race. We can do no better than suggest a careful perusal thereof.
