HARKAWAY will cover from the present time to the 1st of July next, at Rossmore Lodge, Kildare, twenty-four miles from Dublin. The proprietor has declined various offers, both last and this year, to hire Harkaway to cover in England, and he has just refused a very liberal offer from a Newmarket gentleman to send him there this season. He is, however, desirous of encouraging English breeders to send to this horse, and therefore he will serve mares this season at 10gs, and 10s. to the groom, to be paid at the time of covering. The proper route is the railway from London to Liverpool. The steam packets sail twice daily (in eleven hours) from thence to Dublin, and with every accommodation for brood mares at a trifling charge. The mode of conveyance affords a safe, expeditious, and economical mode of transit for mares sent to Harkaway. His stock, like himself, are remarkable for their size, power, symmetry, and action, and above all, evince the superior quality, temper, so essential to a race-horse. Mr Ferguson begs to state, in proof of the estimation in which Harkaway's produce are held, that two of his yearlings will be matched against any other yearlings in England or Ireland, got by any other sire, for 500 sov. T. Y. C. to come off on the first day of the next April Curragh Meeting. Any gentleman accepting this proposal will be pleased to signify the same to Mr Ferguson, within one month, Rossmore Lodge, Kildare.-10th of January, 1844.

Mr Ferguson will not be accountable for any accident to mares sent to his horses.
