TO MI =ITO* or TIM =PRIX& Sin, —A few daya hence, and public interest will metre in the new handicaps that are promised to the world by the 24,i. inst. ; then, perhaps, moms sips of life, and of the dawn of the coming season, will make theraaelves appa rent, it qiiicter winter than the present not having been experienced by racing men for a long time. Steeplechase meetings have been interfered with until they lost all their attractions ; the Derby speculation has proved most enseasati.a, and the Two Thousand almost a blank ; and but for the discussion aid settlement of two or three tire some objections, the " ball" would have been at a dead stop. The crusade against Blue Gown remains the sole startling incident connected with the future—end either he or something else of Sir Joseph Hawley's was bound to " go' some day, as it could not be expected that one gentleman would hold on with three favourites. But despite his decline, the Kingclere stable still presents the boldest front, the reported " coughing" of all the three descendants of Beadsman having failed to influence either of the " crack." in the market. Both have, so far, pro satisfactorily enough during the w i nter recess, pro wed having WIN °Vet' at much as Green Sleeve, notenthstatidiug tbat there did not seem room for it three months ago, when they ran first and second in the Middle Park Plate. From this time dates the great rise made by the pair in the world's estimation, the way Blue Gown previonaly won the Clearwell giving • further fillip to their reputation, as it is but reasonable to suppose he ass the inferior of the three, or Sir Joseph Hawley, with all his boldness, would not have kept him in the stable while they were contesting a race worth 4,4101. for the lakes alone. Would he, again, have put • Derby " pot" ea for the Middle Park Plate, with such ladies as Elizabeth and Coventry to beat, had he thought it possible there were better two-year olds than Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve in existence' It appears palpable that the best of this pair must represent the cherry and black, and my opinion is that over the Epsom mile and • halt the colt must take the palm, as the filly's forelegs are not the best that could be made for the ups and downs of the Surrey hills. It would seem more like policy to leave the Two Thousand and One Thousand to the lady than start ber for the Derby, with the Oaks star in g her in the face ; or, while there is such • grand lot of fillies to be met in the " ladies . " races, it would perhaps be more politic to let Rosicrucian attend to the Gaineas am well as the Derby. The Marquis of Hastings was long thought to hold the blr to the great event of lefiti, when possessing such • quintet as Lady Elizabeth, the Earl, Athena, Seesaw ' and >rameluke ; and even now that the two last-named have been weeded out of his string, and that Athena's staying much over half a mile is so doubtful, there is no levying the danger existing to the Lecturer hoops. Like Achieve ment, the Lady recovered her reputation as • wonderful two-year-old, very soon after she Lad lost it, albeit she did not suffer so much by her defeat in the Middle-park Plate as Colonel Pearson's flyer, for she was within two Imigthe of the brace of young Leadsmen, giving thew equal to 10111 end 71., respectively. In all her previous essays, dm did nothing very grand beyond wiouing the July from Limit+ with ease ; and it has been argued the is not en titled to be placed at the top of the tree, even sinking all consulerations of her dangerous temper. But, after all, no better two you-old pet (winnows can be pointed out than her " close up" to Green Sleeve, Rosicruchin, and Lady Coventry, with so much the worst of the weight' ; and those who saw Julius running very forward under his " crusher " in the Cautbridgeslore cannot but give her great cicilit for the stout race with him. The Earl, it is said. was always a great deal behind her at home, and so be wag iu public ' without a doubt, his lordship resting his chime to Derby honours solely on account of the back ward condition he came out in, and the hurried manner in which he was always prepared for an engagement. Under these &rode intagea, his doings were most creditable ; eo that., what a ith the doubts concerning the lady's tem perament, which is hardly likely to be at its coolest on • eemmcr ' s aftenioou, tko Earl may well become somewhat et • favourite, as he m might train into very nearly Lally Elizabeth's (Anal, and prove the more reliable string for Dane'..,my to li m e; upon. Not being in the Two Thousand, there is little necessity for his getting any knocking about beforehand ; iu fact, if he should figure iu more than one er two of tie miler events he is engaged in next April, it will to as well for his backers to take the hint and hedge, as they will then haves strong indication that Le has not made the improvement he uuw proutimee, and that the mare is still much the better horse. COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH.--Jew. 18. ii. Sittings in Itanoo.—(Before Justices Blackburn, Mellor, i t and Lush.) THE QUZrI r. nurittt, CASEY, AND SHAW. Mr. Justice Blackburn said—l understand the rule in l i tt the case of Burke, Casey, and Shaw, to remove the trial from Warwick to Liverpool, has not yet been served. It ought to be done immediately, because it Is important it ea should be settled before the days for holding the NIIlile• Le: on the Midland Circuit are fixed. Every hour's delay on the part of the prisoners' solicitor in not serving the rule MI makes strongly against cause being shown in time. le The Attorney-General, who was present arguing a case, K. said—l understand something has been said about comma. t . nicating with me upon the subject. I have had no official ea communication with any one, and can know nothing of the case until it comes officially before me. All I know about m . it is from what I have obtained from the usual sources of SI. information. St. Mr. Justice Blackburn—lt is very important that the U prisoners' solicitor should serve the rule immediately upon It the solicitor to the Treasury. It makes, not conclusively, et but strongly against the pribatuirs—this delay. The Attorney-General—The solicitor to the Treasury will be prepared to take the case np as aeon as the vale la served. Mr. Justice Lush—lt must be done as soon as possible, la as the commission days must be fixed. THE POLICE COURTS. 316M111 ; - ;14;a4: MANSION-HOUSE. it.

Newmarket men are invariably divided as to the merits of their ',eta, and each " crack" is so condemned in its turn that it can easily be believed the Blue itibend will sot trouble them et all this year. Pace and Speculum are both fancied by different coteries as liable to turn out the hest of the Duke of Newcastle's string, which in cludes a couple of dark things of great repute called Talk o' the Hill and Harvester, and when the latter comes up from Plumber he will be most extensively "touted," fur iumy good judges presume he will turn out the best of the lot. Pace I mule out in my handic►p to bare shown anything but drat-rake form ; still, be was more " back ward" even than the Earl throughout his career, though, unlike the latter, he does not appear at all certain to stand the strove work Mr. Dawson moat give him. Again, when he is at hi best be may not be able to come down the Epsom hill at all comfortably ; hence it would Le injudi mous to interfere with Puce, at least till after the Two Thousand, r. race be is the better adapted to. He must always have been very inferior to Lady Coventry, or they would not have stood her so confidently for the Middle Park Plate ; and it is the filly's defeat la the latter's ritosthat nie run away from wit uuly the stable favourite, but also from the useful Speculum, who is far behind the Earl. reckon the p air how we may. Mr. Dawson's brother John has tunny followers, little as there was to like in the way Typhon% defeated Vale Royal and Pace. Vire the bibt named. the son of Types, has to do a great deal before he can be tit to coutest such a race as the Derby ; but he looks every inch a rarer, and when fully wound uy he should do more for the " all green" than anything that has carried the colours before him. Joseph Dawson is the worst off of the three daugerous brothers now located at Newmarket, Thunderstorm turning out moderate only, and the Friponnier wen having but a rotten reed to de pend upon, unless the unknown Spartacus hi a " clipper." The best of Lord Glasgow's unnamed string, too, boa shown no signs as yet of simulating General Peel. The Frenchmen have been dangerously quiet for a long time. and may possibly posaess a second Gladiateur in the slashiug I:able:in, who always bad the reputation of being superior to anything elm in the stable. However, his performances have been no better than Ouragan'a, taken as a whole•, and th' be.it thing he did will Lot compare with Le Sarr.can's Woodcote Stakes perforumuce, a defeat of Speculum being a better certificate than running a good second to Seesaw at Stockbridge and beating the " amiss" Vale Royal at Goodwood. There can he no doubt the Lagrange lot in the Derby are nearly all " wwful " horses when well, and doming , has given Rabican plenty of " time " ti come t perfection ; yet it is unreasonable to suppose Le will its ; -tone on Lis juvenile form as much as Glodisteur did. and he must do this to prove the best of his year in Ile is pretty certain to have a cut at Sir Joseph for the Two Thous:toil first, and what a surprise it would be were Grinishaw the younger (who le, vice Hib herd, to take the plate of poor Harry and ride for Count F. de Lagrange faith at home and abroad) to land him even among the iiist three. Suffolk WAS long the pride and hope of the turf metro pollens, who thought nothing of his early defeats, a+ they know he " wanted a dial ,nce," and made much of his vic tories at Newmarket, Epson, and Ascot, that he was credited with afterward,. Only once, however, at this early period did he meet anything like good horses ; and his defeat of Vale Royal, 33.141 W, and Tregeagle, would sot do more now than place Line foremost in the second rank at stars. At Newmarket J uly he was beaten for speed only, by Fornioaa and Lonie, the latter of whom was amiss when he bowled her over in the autumn. just after succumbing to the E irl. He must take no cristit for that, and very little for turning the tables on the latter after he had become used up ; fur to sea him performing in the Prendergast and Nursery, one mould have thought be never beet a goad horse. Under any circumstances I cannot believe Suffolk is li e to the standard of excellence re quired in a Derby winner, Restitution's some day proving almost his equal being quite on the cams. The remainder at headquarters are all of the outsider rank ; yet it will not be entirely left to the gentlemen owning the shormiueutioacd homes to do battle, Lord Fal mouth having Court Mantle awl Tregeagle, and Mr. Chap lin St. Ronan, to stand by them. These are of no better class than Seesaw, who has gained some friends since his arrival at Wadlow'a ; stili they might improve, and were not Court Mantle rich an arrant rogue lee should meow almost great t biog.. It will easily Lo gathered from the foregoiug remarks that it is nut easy to answer the query, " What will win the Derby?" " Who" will win can be settled in about two ginwee, the Plucky Marquis and the Lucky Baronet, as the two gentleman owning all the best per formers are nicknamed, haring all the best per formers between them. But taking the metallic ioduenoes that hare been brought to bear upon Blue Gown as an excuse for diamimiug Lim, I have Realerucian, Lady Eli zabeth, am , Green Sleeve, with the threatening Typhoeus and Earl, to haunt LA when it comes to a matter of naming the horses ; and then there are the mysterious Suffolk, Pace, or Harvests r, Eabican, and perhaps Cocas, to urge their claims to notice. All the lot named, except the Earl and Suffolk, are in the Two and One Thousand Guineas, and when these races are decided it rosy be easy enough to decide what to make a plunge. However, they area long way off ; and, pending them, and the dis covery of what Sir Joseph's intentions may be, an invest ment in favour of the Earl for a " win and place " seems the most sealable thing to do. Even if Lady Elisabeth were to be upon her best behaviour and in the best of form on the Derby Jay, the " place " money might be won ; and should the lady turn all the other way, and the cherry jackets come out of the Guineas contests in triumph, it will be passible for him to play second fiddle to Ron. crucian—or Typhoeus.—l sic, do., ILETEOIL NOVEL MODE OF SWINDLINo. —A novel mode of swindling hes been brought to light by the apprehension, at Griuisby, of a young woman who has been carrying on • system of advertising for servants, making appointments to meet them, and of then obtaining possession of their clothes. A young woman named Alice Allman, residing at Copmmitherps, near York, was in want of a situation. She applied at a register office at York, and was told to meat a lady in the brat-class waiting-room at the York railway station. She accordingly met the lady, who called herself Miss Lister, and was engaged to serve the lady's aunt, who, she was told, resided at 11, Lister-street, Hull. A few days afterwards Allman proceeded to Hull, where • Lister met her. The latter said her aunt was ill, and she took Allman to • temperance hotel. Allman soon after wards missed several articles, but she did not think of suspecting her mistress. Lister now told her dupe that she was going to reside in London, and Allman weed to become her maid. The two proceeded as far as Ciriuisby, where Lister took lodgings at one of the principal hotels, attended Divine service, and altogether conducted herself with decorum. They stayed here a day or two, and Allman took the opportunity of writing to her father, and telling him what had occurred. He advised her to go no . further, and on her refusing to leave Grimsby tier mistress decamped, leaving her hotel bill unpaid. She was, how ever, on the same evening arrested at Louth. She was brought before the Grimsby magistrates, when • detective from Wakefield attended he having • warrant for her apprehension in respect of the theft of a watch, guard, and other articles from • young woman whom she bad d ecoyed under similar circumstances. It appears that she is a native of Graatham. She was remanded.

The window was blown out of its frame by a sudden gust of wind, which blew with almost hurricane force from the S.W. during the day. Fortunately no one was injured, though the street was crowded at the time, and the window was broken into a thousand fragments. KEEPING OYSTERS.—It is customary with many people on the receipt of • Christmas barrel of oysters, to empty them out into • vessel of salt and water, and to supply them with a handful of oatmeal. On this subject we are told, very truly, that salt and water is a very dif ferent thing from sea water, and that "on no account should oatmeal, flour, or any such dead stu ff be added , which only serves to mike the water foul and the oyster sick." The following receipt for the preparation of artificial sea-water will keep the oysters alive and supply them with natural food for some time :—" For ten gallops it requires: Sulphate of magnesia. 7} ounces; sulphate of lime, 2j ounces; chloride of sodium, 431 ounces ; ehleeide of mag aegis, 6 ounces ; chloride of .11•11IIIM, If ounces ; bromide of magnesia, 21 grains ; c arte of lime, 21 grains. This should be allowed to stand exposed to the air in • stoup sunlight for • fortnight before it is used, during which dine a few Mowing plants of osteromorpAa or airs should be introduced to throw off spores. The water then when order the microscope will be found to contain • oonfervoid vegetable growth, which forms as nourishing • food for the oyster as the spores of sea-weed in be oosaa-bed. Oysters laid down in a large trough and covered with this water will *retinue to live and thrive for monthe."—Stion barrels Review, new number.

Our report of other kinds of grain may be summed up is these few words-" dull and dear." PIITIEBOROOOII, JAN. 18.-We had a fair Pimply of wheat here to-slay, and prices were 2s. to :is. per qr. le. a ber than last week ; fine 18 stone red made 75e . to i'es, per , i , ro No alteration in the value of oats or barley , but be aus and peas were somewhat dieter. 'Maputo, JAW. 18.-In spi te of the wet weather the at. tendanos to -day was a average one. Wheat was i s abort supply, a good deal of which was out of condition. Good dry old wheat made a little more money, but other kinds were not sought after, and prices on the whole were about the same as last week. Dry samples of oats, beam, and peas, were quite as deer. ROOHInTSR, JAN. 18.-With moderate supplies of wheat and other sorts of grain brought forward at this market the trade has ru led exceedingly dull, while prices continuo to take a downward movement. Of the wimples of wheat brought forward by factors and farmers the majority of the samples were in very damp condition, and altogether unsaleable. For fine beat lots in dry condition about law rates were obtained, but all other sorts experienced a d... cline of le. to 3s. per qr., at which concession on the p m iof holders there was but little business done. the trad e partaking mostly of a retail character. The ;won; quotations for best white wheat are 7th. to 7.k, and extra superior lots 735, to 75a. per quarter; ssoondaty white, Om to 70s. ; and damp and [inferior, 665. to 68s. per qr. ; best red, ri7e. to 7es. ; sthondary 635. to b7s. ; and inferior, 62e. to win. per qr. The foreign trade was languid, and prices are about is. per qr. cheaper, with very little doing in that description of grain. Flour continues to be purchased in retail, and with a dull impiry prices are about fid. to Is, per sack cheaper. The inquiry for barley being rather betel prior were the turn dearer, beet samples of both maltin.: and grinding qualities fetching ad. to Is. per qr. higher terns. Good old oats command rather more attentioa, and are a trifle firmer ; new sorts neglected. Beans Co: turn cheaper, and the demand slow. The weather con times wild and unsettled, with much rain. WISBECH, JAN. 18.-The weather during the week has been very wet, and therefore unfavourable for threshing. which has given ns a short supply of wheat to-day, and although the condition is bad, Is. to 2s. per gr. more Imoney has beeu given for it, but the buying has been ire.. gular. All spring corn as before. WORCEnTER, J. 18.-At this day's market there was a , lieu supply of wheat, which sold readily at fully lent week's rates. Barley quite as dear. Oats unaltered.

Sales were made steadily, and late rates were fully supported. l'neti for white ranged from Pa. to e2s.; for red, 700. to 71.. per :le stone. The barley trade again assumed a healthy tone. The show of samples was small, and buyers ware unable to supply their wants, except at quite as conch money as heretofore. Malting sorts realised Va. to 151. per quarter ; grinding, 40s. to 41e. per 30 stone. There was a thin sprinkling of oats for which the inquiry was fair, and samples changed bands at a shade over forma rates; new realised 2tis. to Ws. per 21 stone.

The trade here thls week has not been so buoyant as last, nor the bueinese dole so exteueive, yet the few alterations we make in our funu.r quotations are not of much consequence, but are against sellers. Wheat-For foreign there were very few buyers, millers preferring to work out th,ir stooks and take chance of purchasing from next ar. rivals ; prices a bout ed. per barrel cheaper. Irish is also fel. lower, but moat of the samples to market ware below an average quality. Barley-Little doing, awl quo tations almost nominal. Black oats did not met so much attention, end our extreme quotations of Saturday last cannot now be had. Indian corn maintains its value oo this day se'nuight, and there is no disposition on the port of holders to in any way press sales. The demand cone noes at a very fair rate. Flour the turn easier.

No doubt the rise in cotton commencing on Thursday has brought the holders of orders for yarn and cloth rather more precipitately upon the market, and there is reason to fear that they have ooneented to give higher prices than prudence would dictate. Sellers of shirtinmi yesterday end this morning have been able to realise an advance of 40. per piece, and in some cases they are demanding fully double that amount of advance. The advance is not great when compared with what we have been accustomed to during the exceptional years of trade arising out of the cotton famine, when cotton chiefly ranged at prices of half - a-crown per lb. down to (In the earlier months of last year) 16d. ; but now that middling Orleans has touched lid. per lb. it is doubtful if each violent and sudden fluctuations can be sustained, or at least they will be found consistent with a sound and healthy business. The improve ment is chiefly due to the improvement of one market (that of China), and the shipments bare already been ex tensive, while large contracts are in hand for future ex. port. Not only are the merchants shipping to that market who have been accustomed to the trade, but it is said that American and other houses, who find the trade to the United States, Canada. and South America over supplied, are making consignments. It cannotbe expected, therefore, that the improvement in this branch of trade will be of long duration. In the coarser kinds of cloth the demand is still sluggish. Domestics (in which a large portion of the cotton consumed in this district is used) are still dull of sale, and are merely rather more saleable at Tuesday's rates. They have not advanced at all in proportion to the rise in ahirtings since that day. Fortu nately the home trade shows a good deal of improvement so far as the print trade is concerned, and some of our most extensive printers of cotton goods are under engage ments that will keep them fully employed up to March. The prices of printing cloths are rather higher, and mulls and jaoonets are Id. so 10. per piece dearer. Yarns are 0. to id. per lb. dearer than this day week. - - WOOLLEN.—LEEDs, JAN. 18.—The attendance at the cloth halls this morning, although somewhat improved upon our Tuesday's report, has nut been large. A few representatives of Bradford and Manchester houses have been present, but they have not purchased to any large amount, and the parcels which have left tha markets have, in most cases, been small. The general inclination ap pears to be to wait until the season gets further advanced before purchasing heavily. There has been but little alteration in the demand, and we have again to report tweeds as engrossing the most attention, although the transfer of these goods is not so extensive as during the corresponding time last year. A tolerably good business is being done both in plain and fancy colours, and in the lower qualities of steel mixtures some moderately good parcels have been made. There is not much improvement in the coating and plain cloth departments, but as many of these goods are delivered to order, it materially attests the transfer in the cloth halls. The hairlist trade has again been quiet, and in some quarters better class goods have changed hands, though out to a large amount. Prices remain without change. WOOL AND WORSTED. —Baaorogri. JAN. Ig. The week opened with the better feeling so apparent on the previous Thursday, but this feeling disappeared as the week advanced, and at the second market, on Thursday last, there was great languor in the wool trade, ascribed generally to a desire to SO6 the result of a pending sale of wool which had been announced for that day. The sale, as was anticipated, went slowly, in sustaining the currency which had been estimated ; and many staplers and spin ners in the district got supplied from this seutce with stocks which will keep them going for some time to come. The worsted yarn trade remains as quiet as ever. If any there is more inquiry than there has been of late, but still the offers made are so low and uuremunerative as almost to preclude business. There have been some transactions effected in los 30's and some counts of two folds. The demand for the home trade is very small. Prices continue weak and irregular. The slight improve ment apparent last week in pieces has hardly been main tained during this. The improvement was very partial, and felt only by a few manufacturers. The absence of orders for America is a most discouraging feature. The German trade, though greatly below the average, seems continuous and sure. The home trade is inactive as yet. apparently waiting for advice& from representatives who are out in the country with patterns of new styles. Prier., are on the whole rather steadier than they have been. THE Maw MEAT MARKET AT SMITHFIELD. —fen Saturday the last iron girder of the extensive works at the new Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market, which will, moreover, form the roof of the goods stations of the Metro- rolitan, Great Northern, and Midland Railway Companies in the sub-structure, was pl.iced in its position, and when the remaining portion of the brick arched work is finish..d —which it is expected will be the CAW in stew days—the entire site will be handed over to the contractors of the corporation market works, who are proceeding with their contract very rapidly. The new Midland line, from the junction at King's-cross to Moorgate, underneath the market-place, will be opened also, it is reported, withal the course of the prevent month.

During December, 184 A, the businessof till. no rthern ports fell off to a considerable extent, and the decressewas no less than 22,9311 tons for the mouth. At the Scotch ports also there was less business doing, and the falling off here was 4,5.50 tons. To counterbalance this ' lose, however, there was the extraordinary increase of 41,930 tons at the southern ports, 4,222 at the Yorkshire ports, 2,409 at London , and 2,788 at LiverpooL The total exports from January to December, 1/ 1 47, inclusive, amounted to 9,770,044 tons, as against 9,367,1531 tons la 1066. TRS NEW FAi TORY AND WORKSHOPS Arr„ The sixth annual meeting of the members of the Notts Trades' Association was held on Thursdaythe General Exchange, Nottingham. The report stated a lit th with e let parlia men tary session was so thoroughly occupied politics that very little attention was paid to commercial legislation, and those hills bearing thereon which became law were so quietly passed through both houses that neither the members nor the public sufficiently carefully considered all their provisions. In moving the adoptioa of the report the chairman (Mr. Gripper) alluded to the effect which the Factories Extension and Workshop. Regulation Acts would have upon several of the trades of Nottingham ; and though its provisions would be found at that of an irksome character they were yet .4 essential to the well-being of the power classes that he hoped they would be carried out as far as possible. It would give every child the opportunity of acquiring some sort of edu cation, and of improves; it in after years. He hoped the members of the association would do all they could to per suede the children in their employ to fall in with the spirit of the act in this respect, and that the control which it gave employers over the leisure hours of the young people would be wisely and bene ficiall y need.

At the close of last week it was thought that there were some indications of a re-action in the country trade, but the movement, slight as it was, does not appear to have been continuous, for although here and there some manufacturers are moderately engaged, others are very abort of orders, and their men continue to make half or two-thirds time. Such is the case in every branch the limas-founders, electro - platers, wire-drawers, and all who are in any way connected with the fancy trades, repot tto the same effect. In the foreign department bueineas is also in an unsatisfactory state ; the complete prostration pre vailing in the trade of the United States forbids the hope that there will, be much done in that quarter this spring. In other branches of the export trade there is also a total absence of animation. CORN.-CAMMUDGE, J.N. 18.-We had a very dull market for all corn, and barley was Is. lower.
