Hence it is that commissions coins driibliog in from far and near—chietly front the cratuir —but the number of " commissioners" having m retied so much of late years, the amount of mooey remitted to them for the purposed blacking horses is incredibly large, and, come what will, the public will not be dissuaded from having their " bit on at a longish price." Very little time was devoted to discussion to-day, for as soon as there was soythieg like a betting quorum, business commenced, the Derby being the first medium. 500 to 10 each was laid against Strathoonan and Wolsey. but a little later 1000 to 20 was accepted about Sir Joseph Hawley's horse., while there were frequent offers to take 1000 to 15 shoat " tbe Strath." The Liverpool Steeplechase was quiet, only two, Magenta and Iferimec, being actually backed, earth at 25 to 1. There were frequent ioquines after Mephistopheles for the Lincoln Handicap, but 100 to 7 failed to elicit a response. Mail Train was again very forward, at least in the market, for the Northamptonshire Stakes, for which . 100 to 6 would have been taken kiudly about him. 300 to 100 was offered on the field fur the Two Thousand, while 4 "monkeys" or any part of it went begging about Student, the bookmaker who offered the odds emphatically declaring that the Hawley crack was a "cock." The same operator afterwards succeeded in laying an even 5001. on the field, against Lord Lyon, Student, and Young Mooarque, after ' which he laid a patties° of the French stable l 5 " Office' molest Auguste, although a few minutes previously 1000 to 80 had been accepted about the latter, half-brother to Gladiateur.

The official inquiry instituted by the Board of Trade alto the circumstances attending the fuuoderirg of the steamer London was resumed on Saturday, at the Greeowichlic•-conrt, before kfr. Trail, the district sti pendi►ry magistrate, and Captaios Harris and Baker, the nautical aeseseors. Mr. O'Dowd, addressing the court, said he thought it necessary to state that he had received a great number of communications since the commencement of the inqniry from benevolent and int-lligent writers, suggesting a variety of means for promoting the safety of passenger vessels on foreign voyages. The suggestions cmtnined in those letters were very valuable, but it appeared to him they were not pertinent to the business of the inquiry. He had, however, no doubt that before a select committee of the House of Commons the suggestions would have great weight. He thought it necessary to advert to the matter, u it was wholly out of his power to make replies to the numerous letters he had received, and he tinted the writers would receive this statement as evidence that be meant no dis courtesy in not replying to their inquities. Mr. Train said it was clearly outside the province of the court to deal with any suggestions made es to the structure of ships, but they could refer them to the Board of Trade, and they might, if they chose, institute an inquiry. The object of the court was to ascertain whether the London had been lost owing to faulty construction or faulty manage ment. William Hart, examined by Mr. O'Dowd—l was carpen ter's mate on board the ship London on her last voyage. I did not sign the articles, but was to have done so at Graves end. I was to have left the ship at Melbourne, and I only received nominal pay of one shilliog a month. I did not sign the articles at Gravesend. I joined the ship at the East India Dock. I have been nine years employed as ship carpenter on land and afloat. I was well acquainted with the structure of the London, and I am of opinion she was a very strong endear. ship. I saw the coals stowed round the funnel, and I be lieve some of them were put into the bunkers. About nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, the 9th, the foretopmast and jibboom were carried away. The wind commenced to blow bard on Monday night. She was going under at- am with her head to the wind on Tuesday. On Tuesday morn ing the jibboom was lying on the starboard bows, and the foretopsail was swinging about in the rigging. At ten o'clock the main royal mast was carried away. We tried to get the jibboom on board, bet could not succeed, The jibboom was not likely to do any damage. The engine-room hatch and skylight went on a rabbit, and was secured inside with bras* fastenings. The panes of glass in the skylight were 12 inches be 9, and half an inch thick. As a ship carpenter I think the fastenings in the hatchway were secure. The grating that covered tbe glue was three-quarter inch by 2 inches—round bars 2 inches apart. When the hatchway was carried, on the night of the 10th, Mr. Angel, the third officer, called me from my berth to go eft to secure the skylight. I went aft, and was washed by a heavy sea against the steam winch. The seas came over the port side. As soon as I could go aft, which was about ten minutes. I fount the skylight had been carried away, and was lying on the starboard side, upon the combings. About twenty hands and myself attempted to put back the skylight, but we were washed to leeward, and the skylight with us. The glass of the skylight was smashed. We then got sails and put them over the batches, but, in spite of the efforts of the carpenter and myself to nail them down, the sea washed them away. Before the hatchway was taken away it was battened down by the carpenter and myself with tar paulin and a double sail. Before the hatchway was blown away on Wednesday night, we pot a spar and some boards and sails over it, and they were all carried away. After the boards were washed away we filled the hatchway up with bedding and mattresses. After the flying jibboom was carried away it was taken io from overboard and carried aft, and planed along the combings of the engine , room hatchway. I saw the boatswain lash it to the ring bolts. When the skylight had been washed away the 1 1 flying jibboom was swinging about the dear. To Mr. Traill—The hatchway was battened with three inch betas nails. The tarpaulins, when battened to the combing, protected the edge of the frame of the skylight When the skylight had been washed off I noticed the tar paulin and sails had been torn away close to the battens. My impression is that the skylight was carried away by the sea and the flying jibboom. I don't think the sea could of itself have carried the skylight away. I was employed during the whole of the night in placing sails and tarpaulin over the hatchway, but they were con stantly washed away. About three o'clook on the morning of the 11th of Janaary I was called from the hatchway by the purser to secure the stern pasta on the port side. went to the stern posts and famed the sliding shutters open, and they had been so since Tuesday. The upper part of the shutters were working in and out, and had knocked the sashes in. The water was coming in. The grooves of the upper part of the shutters had been driven in, and had broken the glass of the sashes inside The frame outside was of iron, and that ioside of wood three-fourths of an inch thick, there being behind that a great thickness of wood. I got a spar and endeavoured to secure the port, there being but little water in. I shored each shutter to the beam of the cabin, but as the ship set tled down the port smashed and the seas ran in in great quantities through the upper and lower saloone. About 7 o'clock the two ports on the starboard side were partly stove in. At 8 o'clock I received orders from the carpenter to plug the boats. The two lifeboats had been previously washed away, and also the starboard cutter. The lifeboats had been carried on the davits abaft the pinnaces. One of the iron pinnaces was lowered about 9 o'clock on Thursday morning, but she filled and sank, her bow having come down first. I was engaged in getting the port cutter ready. The port cutter was towered about 2 o'clock in the after noon. After the iron pinnace was last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, the captain gave orders to lower the fore sail and brace the mainyards, so that the port side could be brought to the lee side. The ship was brought to on the starboard tack. As soon as she came up to the wind the fore-tack was carried away, and she rolled about in the sea. The mixes stay-sail had been blown away that morning while she was on the port tack. Mr. O'Dowd—Did you see any use in signaling! Witness—No ; there was nothing in sight to signal to. Everyone was looking out. We had a greet difficulty in getting into the boat, as the ship sucked her in. As soon as she pitched in the water we unhooked the tackle fell, got our oars out forward, and shoved her bow round before the wind. Others jumped in as we pushed the boat round, and we then moved off from the ship. In about three to five minutes we saw the ship go down stern foremost. William Daniels, examined by Mr. O'Dowd-1 reside at 13, Maslen-terrace, Weldon-road, Kentish-town. I was quartermaster on board the ship London on her last voyage. I went a voyage to Melbourne and back in the same ship, and in the same capacity. The London left Plymouth about 12.20 a.m, on the 6th January. The weather was fine on our leaving Plymouth. On Sunday evening a heavy wind rose from the S.W., and continued increasing up till Tuesday. At 7 o'clock on the morning of Tuesday the port lifeboat was carried away. The ship was then on the starboard tack. The ship lurched to leeward, and the life boat was unhooked. lam sure the ship was on the star board tack, and the wind mast have been N.N.W. About 3 o'clock an the afternoon I was at the wheel when she was tacked and brought on the port tack, the fore and aft canvass having been previously hauled. I don't know whether this occurred on Tuesday er Wednesday. Her head then lay N.N.K, and the wind N.W. I did not bear say directions to have the ship driven to Plymouth, but I concluded she was gang there. We were oo the port tack when the engine-room batch was carried away. To Captain Harris—On the day of the disaster she was put on the starboard tack. To Mr. Traill—The object of that was to bring the boats to the port aide. To Captain Harris—The mizen staysail was set when the ship went down. To Mr. Traill—Half her maintopssil was also set ; the other half had been blown away. To Captain Harris—The starboard side of the msintopsail was blown away. She was on the starboard tack when she went down, her heed being about west and the wind north west. To Captain Baker—The other ball of the maintopsail was let fly. To Mr. O'Dowd—l went below about an hour after the ship wee put round. The hatchway had not been =lied away then. I went to the wheel at ten o'clock, and nothing had happened then. Shortly after ten o'clock on Wednesday night Mr. Angel, the third officer, went down and cal ed the sailors and all passengers up, barring the women. He said he wanted us to secure the hatchway. They all went aft, and when I got up they had one sail covering the engine-room batch. They got more mils, and nailed them down to the deck one alter the other. I saw the skylight lying to lee ward, but Ido sot know whether it was broken or not. At 2 o'clock on the moroing of Thursday I went to the wheeL She was then heading N.N.E, and the wind was N.W. or N.W. by W. The chains of the wheels went away with the lashiogs. The lashings were brand new when we left Plymouth. The stern porta were stove in early on the morning of Thursday. While I was at the helm I did not know that the ship was sinking below the stern ports. At 2 a.m. on Thursday, when I went to the wheel. I noticed she was settling by the stern ports. I was at the wheel from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock. I wept again at nix, and the ship was still close to the wind. After goieg to the wheel at 6 o'clock I remained until we got away from the ship in the boat. To Captain Barris—The crew were employed in bailing out the water with buckets from the after saloon, and the pompoms were doing the same. - Captain LAW INTELLIGENCE. MICTROPOLITAN COUNTY COURTS.

WILLYAMS e. ARNALL AND OTHKRS. This was au action for money lent and on an account stated. There were several defendants ; two of them allowed judgment to go by default, and the rent pleaded never indebted. Mr. Kerslake ' Q.C., and Mr. Lopes appeared for the plaintiff, and the defendants were represented by Mr. Terser, Mr. Archbold, and Mr. Baiter. The plaintiffs, Meters. Willyama and Company, are well known es miners' brokers, and carry on business at Truro and Cemborne. aced the defendants, who are numerous, are adventnren in the North Pool Mine, in Corn , wall, which is conducted on the cost-book principle. In June, 1864, one of the defendants, Mr. Tredennick, a mining broker in Loudon, end the parser and secretary of the mine, applied to the plaintiffs' agent at Camboree for power to overdraw the account, which they intended to keep with them at their branch in that town. The agent consented to allow them to do so, provided he had the proper security ; and on the 28th July a resolution was passed at a meeting of the adventurers and signed by the defendants, to the effect that the plaintiffs should be the bankers of the company, and that T redennick should be authorised to overdraw the account from time to time to the extent of I,OOOL This resolution was forwarded to the agent, and another account was opened in the ordinary way. In December following the account was overdrawn to the amount of 6121. Bs. 7d., which sum, with interest, the plaintiff' now 'ought to recover. Mr. Baron Bramwell asked what was the reel question in the ease. Turner said, as the action was brought against certain of the adveoturers instead of the whole body of thew, the defendants intended to put the plaintiffs to strict proof of their liability. After Mr. Benjamin Matthews, the agent at Oamborae, had been ',Ambled, . . . The learned counsel for the defence submitted to a verdict for the plaintiffs—damages, 6451. The record bad previously been amended by the learned judge by striking out the name of Mr. Jenkins, one of the defendants, against whom no case bad been made out. THE POLICE COURTS. WORSHIP-STREET.

Ter MURDER AT BRIGHTON.-00 Saturday even log Mr. David Black, the coroner, opened en inquest at the Town-hall on Herriet Herten, who was shot by her brother-in-law, John William Leigh, on Thursday night, under the circumstances recorded in our last impression. Mr. Charles Hastier' said, in addition. that he knew there bad been some disagreement between the deceased and the accused about a sum of 501. which Mr. Barton bad bor rowed, but he had paid it back. The accused came to Brighton on Tuesday, and the deceased refused to let him into the house. He was taken away three separate times on that evening. He tried to force his way in, bat Mrs. Berton shot the door in his floe. When he came Mn. Hartos and the accused violently abased one another, but witness did not bear him threaten her life. She called him a murderer, a pirate, and • thief, sod also reviled him for having beanie his wife, and turned her out of doors, Witness could not say that the accused wee in toxicated when be shot his sister-in-law. He was much given to drink, and used to talk about his wounds, of which he bad several, and was always showing them. He had a silver plate in his heed, where he had been wounded when in China. Dr. Joseph Stephens, of 5, Pavilion-parade, explained the injuries which were caused by the gunshot wounds and re sulted in death. He took • statemeut from her as she was getting worse. That statement wee put in writing, signed by deceased, and given to obief-constable George White. The ooroaer then read the statement :—" I, Harriet Barton, having been shot at, sad being aware that I am in a dan gerous and dying state, say that on Thursday night, about • quarter past 10, John William Leigh came into my booth and, without saying a word, pointed a pistol at me. I cried out, 'Ob, my God !' and he let it off. I turned to ran away, and just Oen he let it off at me. He hit me in the back and mmy side. I ran down as well as I could, and Mr. Loveday called out, 'When are u,' and I went into the taproom and fainted away. On Tuesday Leigh came to the house, and 1 would not admit him." Witness acid the poor woman was slaking fast at the time she made that state ment, and she signed it in the presence of the parties named as well Si she could. The coroner ultimately adjourned the inquest until after the sitting of the bench on Friday next. SINGULAR ACCIDENT ON THE ALTON AND WI/I CBM= R/ILWAT. —On this line there is a chalk cutting near Alrmford, of considerable extent sod great depth, and as the train passes through it, pas angers looking up have the idea that the chalk overhangs them. Danger has often been apprehended from a slip, and on Friday while the 11 ▪ up-train from Southampton was passiag through this cutting, such an accident occurred. Some forty yards in advance of the train a huge block of chalk fell on the line, and although the driver et once reversed his engine and put off steam, the engine and two carriages An oomieg the SHERIFFS POR 1865.

HARDWARE.—MtIUfrhOHAM, Fe,. 3.—The trade of this town is steady ; it has improved in the cause of the week ; is fact there is scarcely any breach of importance in which manufacturers are not well engaged, and in some in states' they have a quantity of orders on their books which is quite lat this period of the year. There is a good demand for material, and the roUiog mills generally are at work full time. The factors report favourably of the state and prospects of the spring trade so far as relates to hard wares ; stocks with the country ironmongers being, for the most part, moderate. In the foreign departmeot there is a fair amount doing, but no animation, the principal orders given out of late have been on account of the United States and Canada. The South American trade is good, except as to Chili ; sad there is more inquiry for goods suittble to the Eastern markets. In the continental trade generally there has been no change of late ; with respect to France, the Levant, and the Mediterranean markets generally, business female' doll. The reports re ceived from the adjoining district of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire are satisfactory ; in nearly all the numerous branches carried on in that quarter, those engaged in thtio are well employed. 001TON.—Lrymirooi, Fee. 3.—A quiet market with out change in price. Salm today, 8,000 balm. including 3.000 speculation and export 4,600 America* 161 to 21d.; 300 Pernam, kc., 170. to 21d.; 100 Maranham, 21d.; 300 Egyptian. 22d. to 26gd, ; 100 Smyrna', 15d. to 18d. ; 2,600 Surat, 13d. to 17d. ; Madise, 15d. to 150.; Bengal, Strode, &e., 114 d. to 12id.; 100 Peru, 21d. COTTON GOODS.—MaNcsammt, Fmk 3.—The market has bees fiat and drooping throughout the week. The striageney of the money market is mentioned as one cause, 'rut the di-cline in cotton is no doubt the more immediate one, American baring declined gd. and Baptise id. to Id. per lb. during the week. In some descriptions spinners have been able to obtain much more favourable terms than these .4 Liverpool, and such a change there could not but react more or less on prices here. Blackburn 32's yars have lost fully Id. per lb. this week. Water twist sad bundle yarns of medium eount. are 4d. to Id. cheaper, and lodia mules about 4.1. Such a giving way his the effect of inducing buyers whose requirements me not pressing to bold beck, and consequently an inconsiderable business has been done in most descriptions, both for home consumption and ex port. A good deal more American cotton is coming into °assumption, 13,700 bales having been taken by the trade this week, and a good deal more would probably be used but that spinners having adapted their roinery to Surats and got their bands a good deal remedied to its use, hesitate to make a change too hastily. Mennfaeturers show more firm ness than spinners, being free from stocks and many of them holding contract., but cloths are easier to buy. Shirting., jaconete, printers, domestics, and oserly all fabrics are offeied more freely, though the giving way in pries is much less than in yarn. WOOLLEN.—Luna, FM. 3.—The markets this morn. ing bare presented a quiet appearance, the atteodaace both of manufacturers and merchants being small, and little bueierss ban been tr4ns.cted. In the coloured-hall, a few small prrcels of fancy coatings and tweeds have met with purcbssrrs only to a limited extent, which has formed the bulk of the transactions is this market.

WINDHAM. —The death of this notorious young man seems to have been very sudden. He had not bees quite well for a day er two, but no dangerous symptoms presented themselves until Friday morning about ten o'clock, when the deceased told an ea sistaat at the Norfolk Hotel, Norwich, who had been In the habit of attending upon him, that be felt very unwelL Only about an hour previously he had partaken with appa rent relish of some coffee and toast, and at that time he told the waiter that be was much better. Mr. Bailey, a surgeon, who bad been sent for, arrived shortly after ten a.m. on Friday ; be at once ob served the dangerous cha racter of the attack, and requested that additional advice might be called in. Dr. Bateman and Dr. Lade were ac eordiogly sent for, but Mr. Wisdbam gradually sack and died in the presence of the three medical men and two or three of the hotel servants early in the evening. A telegram annottneog the state of affairs had been forwarded to Lieut-nant•General Wiodham in London, but the gallant officer was not present when hie nephew died, although be arrived shortly afterwards. A telegram was also sent to Mrs. Wiodham, who is under stood to be in Paris. A post mortem examinat , on was made of the body of the deceased (who it troy be added was in his 26th year) ; the result, however, did not reveal anything enanLious, and it was not considered necessary to hold an inquest. It is understood that death was attributable to 1 congestion of the lunge and heart disease. The deceased's ' habits it is also sa.d had been iocresaingly intemperate of late. Be had squandered away his first fortune, of which' be obtained the °patrol by the unfortunate verdict of a Westminster jury in January 1862 ; but means had been placed at his disposal to enable him to live comforta bly and respectably if he had chosen to do so. Mr. Windham would In 1869 have become entitled to an estate at Hanwortb, Norfolk, the net rental from which is from 5,0001. to 6,0001. per annum. By Mr. Windham's death this estate reverts pried facie to Mts. Windham's infant child, but it is stated that questions of legitimacy are likely to be raised, sod it may bepoen that this second estate will not, after all, go from the Wind ham family, but will come into the hands of Lieutenant- General Windham sad his children. It would be idle at ppeseent, however, to indulge in farther coajeetates on this bwl.

TO THE =MI OT THI LIPREBB. 81a,—Weather-prophets have had too bad a time of it this year, so far, for a seer in any other line to het reviles of prognosticating which way the wind is likely to blow. It is, in fact, quite appalling to think of &ships with the " great spring handicaps," no fewer than night rf which were completed last week, as if the threa tened frost should come after all aoy present ealcalstions would be signally upset. The visitation would be a sore blow and sad discouragement to the earlier meetings, but which, without it, will meet with unparalleled success, judging from present appearances, the number of horses in liaising being immense, while the facilities for getting them ready have been such as will ensure a grand coin menowneut at Lincoln, and a busy time of it right op to the Derby week. It has been generally remarked that the accep tances just placed before the w orld are most encouraging, and the reception the Lincolnah re Handicap met with must be peculiarly gratifying to the executive and Mr. Johnson, when only twenty-six out of the aeventy-seven operated upon elected to pay the smaller forfeit. Of those that bare declined the Duke and Cranford were as well tr. atel as anythieg, and the fast of their knocking out must be takes as an indication that the Day stables pommies some this% infinitely superior in Mail Train, Historian, Perfumer, Copeohageo, Kangaroo, or William Pitt. The three fires 'areal ere is the Woodysates division, end there is no cer tainty whether Historian or Perfumer will do battle ; but ist the Dansbury trio Copenhagen is the only likely " good thing." The Goatee interests are equally strong, Henry of Littleton being pretty certain to kick up • dust with Mephistopheles, Junius, or Filbert, whilst William of linden has Idler, Provisor, Sidewind, and Lady Sophie to coquet with ; and if Mephistopheles should mean mischief, he will take, as is usual with the old gentleman, • deal of besting. The cream id the remaining forty-six candidate' may turn up in litancinger (or his stable companion, Wild Bee), Tonight, she is not quite used up, Lucky Star, Knight of Snowdon, King George, Catalogue, Valiant, and Advance, who should all help, with moat of the heavy weights, to swell the field to such a size as will make the issue very difficult to fore see. The contest, after a postponement from Wednesday to Saturday, did net result at all gaily lestyear, there haring been only a fortunate few on CarroU's first winning mount ; and those who can hit the bull's-eye this time may pot be more numerous, although if it should be the Day's cis,' there will be myriads in the swim. To find one to beat them, with Copenhsgeo, Historian, and Perfumer so nicely haodioapped, will be very difficult; and the man who Can accomplish the fat must appeal to his Lucky Star or call the Devil to his aid. Not pretending to sorcery, I must leave the money to settle the Greed National, with its fifty-eine jumper., as from performances alone it is impossible to draw any de ductions now, L'Africein, Emblem, Alcibiade, Hall Court. Lighthesrt, ibex, Hornet, Mistake, Merrimac, Balder, and Old Osweetry last year, and Jerry, Reporter, Thomeatewn, Oinking Feed, Creole, lac., in previous years, having done excellently well for their owner', in addition to which there ere so many new lights is clever hands that we may det ester at the last moment there are some fifteen or twenty "going for the mosey.' Most of the events coming off at the " legitimete" Northampton, Newmarket, Epsom, and Chester meetings are in the IMMO predicament ; still, 1 must say that the 5-yr-olds look worth searching among for the winters of all of them except the City and Suburban, though they are but eight-and-thirty strong. Mall Train, Lord Megan& and Valiant, in the Nortbamptoushire Stakes ' • Bacchtm, Valiant, and Perfumer in the St. Liz ; Lord Zetland, in the Newmarket Handicap sad Metropolitan' ' and Ackworth DalIV, Redcap, Jhadareante, Sandal Lord Zetland, Ghillie Callum, and Helen in the Chester Cup, are particalarly deserving of re speet, Mail Train and Lord Zetland being. perhaps, " best is" of .11 the led horses that say "aye " for one event or another. That the horses of this age were all well treated is apparent in on'y eleven (not • fourth of the whole) de clining altogether, whilst two-fifths of the 6-yr-old and aged horses, and one-third of the 4-yr-olds, have pegged out. The 3-yr-olds, tbacka to nearly fifty of them being left in the City and Suburban or Chester Cup, or both, muster just as Arose as the fours ; and the reputations of the Czar, Lochiel, end Hawthorn , who are engaged more than once at nice wetghts, hays only to be dowered for them to be worthy of some consideration, the Czar especially. 81i11, even the feathered division have little the best of the im posts with some high class 5-yr-olds, Mail Train having to met them at exactly weights for age is the Northampton. shire Stakes, as do Ackworth is the Chester Cup and Copenhagen in the City and Suburban at only 31b disad vantage; whilst Lord Zetland gets a pull over them of from fib to a stone in he four eapgements. The Chester Cup is entitled to be first dealt with in detail, for it still excite. • greater amount of speculation than say rival, sad consequently affords the longest odds being sirtainable. That it is • good handicap the 86 accepting of the 154 Mr. Topham tried to bring together affords etroog testimony, although it strikes me very few of the 30 3-yr-olds are in the race, simply from the feet of the fear heaviest weighted of them— Xi, Mr. Pitt, Blue Ribend, sad the Primate—having to meet the four " top-weight" 0/r-olds—John Davis, Monkey, &mph, and Ackworth at • considerable disadvantage. It reaches 41b in the most favourable case, that of the Primate versus John Davis and Monkey ; whilst as concerns Xi, Mr. Pitt, and Blue Ribacd versus Ackworth and Baragah, it extends as far as Eblb, and is never less than 121 h. A. horse of Bumph's temper may not be exactly suited to the circus business of the Chester Cup race, whilst Mouleey's doubt fa staying powers will partially justify his being allowed to run • second-rate performer (bat • splendid locking gentleman) like Xi with Blb the beet of it ; but for two >Yones that each ran • good third for • Ceearewitch, when meeting the winners at • 21Ib or 251 b disadvantage, to give 71b or 141 b less than weight for age to Xi and Mr. Pitt, it must be presumed Mr. Tophsm hasalmost too high an opinion of that pair of yoangsters. Ark worth (Bst 51b) on his Cesare witch performance has the best of Mail Train (list 51b), even taking the letter's "bolting" into consideration, for he pre him 41b ; and with Planet (7st 111 b), who was but fifth to his third then receiving 71b, he has quite a 71b advantage. The first of his age, in fact, that looks like competing with Ackworth is Redcap (7st 61b). who is in his own stable, with Lord Zetland (7st llb) ; but when we come to Sandal (7st 51b), a mar that was within • length of Planet when he won the Metropolitan last April • vastly improved horse, Ackworth'a equal at the weights, or very nearly so, Is discovered, and to beat her for certain Daeebury must have something better than fact yaw'. favourite. If they pieces his superior my impression is that it is Lord Zet knd, who teceiees 181 b from him, and proved himself at three years old, when the Voltiseurs are never at their best, a good sewed-rate horse. The Clown (7st 61b),Bradantente (Tat 31b), Ghillie Callum (7st 11b), and Helen (Set 61b), are the pick of the other five-year-olos ; hut on the latter • best public form she is no match for Redcap or Lord Zeeland, the threethat finished berme ber it last yeat'sCbasterOop all having luta so indifferently afterwards as to show the never could have a betteekbaoce of winning a meat race. The Clown, ia the same interest ' was never a stayer, and yet he may get round the Rhoodee with his light impost, Mr. Barber being foituaate if he an find a sups zior to him is his team of five. Brailazuante is • Dios mare for the Cheater Cup course, and is not out of the race by any means, though env inclinations are more in favour of Sandal, if a five year old is in the race superior to the champion of John Day's Lord &tilted, Red se, or Ackwortb. The elders all receive from the 5-yrokle ; Blithfield (6 yrs. 7st 131 b), who as • 3-yr-old ran a respect able finish for the Cesarewitch. whilst ere , ting the wiener, Lioness, with 171 b the worst of the weights, having all the appearesee of • second lAamiogton if he hes not dete riorated. But he was too infirm to be of any service lest season, and those who invest xi , on him thus early must content themselves to be on thorns up to the last. Fantail (6 yre Tat 51h) ran so badly last autumn that she is scarcely worth trusting; and of the other old ones net see ever had pretensions to win the Chester Cup— at least old Brewer has had none for the last saves years or so. The best of the 4-yr-olds, Elithem (Bst 51b). is meeting the juveniles on the same terms an do John Davis and Moulsey, and consequently at an advantage with Mr. Pitt and Xi, for it was shown be could I May ia the Derb where, however, be scarcely gave • 121 b beating to Todle bon (7st 71b), who till he went amiss last year made a very good show among the great , and ran like a stayer to boot. Thus it is quite possibl guns e for J. Day to possess the best four-year-old in the Cheater Cop am well as the best five, Victonous (7st 91b) being the only one that ever outshone Tedleb-n, and hie legs have been "dickey" for • loeg time. Harry Brailsford (7st 11b) is deemed • good horse by many, and from his deed beat with Windham at Newcastle last June, he may be of just about the same calibre as Elland. Scarborough, Don Basilic (6st 131 b each), and the Treachery g, (fist 31b), also come under the heading of " suspicious," the latter having to be only half the horse his owner must have thought him once, when be entered hint in three four-year-old stakes for which the forfeits amount to 2251., to beat the three-year-olds, even if there is a Derby horse among them. This latter body, considering there are only • dozen of their elders, that eves the feathers do not meet at • disadvantage, are quickly dia. paled of ; and after Pluton, the Czar, and Rococo, there is sot one that seems to possess the remotest chance of trim ming. The two-last named row in the same boat as Harry Brealsfone which fact adds to the difficulty of arriving at say definite conclusion as to where the actual winner might come front. Before doing this, it will have to be determined whether Lord Zetland, Redcap, Ackworth, or Todleben is the best of J. Day's ; or the Czar, Harry Brailaford, or Rococo of T. Dawson's ; and, although my opinion inclines to the Czar and Lord Zetland, in the bee of the market, it is impassible to •roogl) NzwCAirni•trpos•Thrs, Fsa 3.—IV• supply of wheat from the toast', k. slowly at a decline of 1.. per qr.
