We understand that the Nelson Weltou Steeplechase at the Wakapuaka meeting this day was won by Mr. H. Warren's Haulrau, but was disqualified by deficient weight, Captain Spiller's Harkaway being declared the winner. The Victuallers' Handicap was won by Mr. H. Kedwood's Golden Cloud, beating Mr. Stafford's Omen. The second Steeplechase was ■won by Mr. H. Warren's Hauhau, and the Hack Race by Mr. Bradley's Sprightly, beating six others. A full report of these races will appear in our next. The Bengal Hurkaru, the oldest of Indian journals, having commenced its existence in February, 1795, has succumbed. The reason assigned for the stoppage is " the difficulty of getting subscriptions in." The great World Circus was at Bombay in January, doing a good business, Miss Ella Zoyara very " considerably astonishing the natives by her feats as an equestrienne." A sugestion is made for the case of a jibber; namely, to fasten him with a stout breeching-strap to the tail of a steam plough. He would find no go to be no go most assuredly* - .
