SALE OF HORSES! MR. GAMMON Has been favored with instructions to Sell by Public Auction, at the "Squib" Inn, the undermentioned Horses—- ' ALICE."—This famous Steeple Chaser, by Mr. Tom Paine's Infidelity, out of Egotism, has frequently been known to clear the Turnpike Gates of Decency, Truth, and Fair pj a y s —indeed nothing is 100 high for him; —he has" been entered for the " Superintendency " Steeple Chase, or, rather, he has entered himself—a circumstance never recorded of any other horse, but accounted for by the unusual developemenl of his organ of self-esteem. It is feared, however, by his greatest admirers lhat he has over-rated his strength, and that the coming chase will be 100 much for his constitution, that defeat would for ever cow him, while success w.ould be supervened by giddiness and apoplexy—he having for some time past evinced symptoms of determination of blood to the head, which is the sole reason of his being parted with. MILS.-This well-known Cart Horse, by Screw out of Chisel, would be a treasure to any nightman, having been employed in all the dirty work of the last election, for which he is admirably fitted ; he is hardy and slicks at nothing. To any young man entering the above profession he would prove invaluable. GOBBLE — The pedigree of this Horse is involved in considerable obscurity, but judging from his proportions, he is supposed to have been got by Mr. Donoghoe's Bully out of Brass ; he was for some lime in the service of the " Respectable" Coach, but one of the grooms having called his master's attention to the foulness of his mouth, he was found to be glandered, and was accordingly disposed of. He was subsequently enlered for the "Fleshings" Hurdle race, but got on slippery ground, lost his temper, and fell. He is naturally exceedingly vicious, but is very tradable when well fed. GREEK.— This Carriage Horse makes some pretensions to blood, though not borne out by his appearance. He has an unhappy knack of turning suddenly round and biting his friends, for which cause he was dismissed the " Sir George" slables, (s-tables) and the proprietor of Ihe "Mitre" Tavern parted wilh him for a similar reason.
