THE REFORM BILL. --0-- PRENTON.—On Saturday afternoon an open air meeting was held in The Orchard, Presto n, to consider the propriety of sapperting the government Reform Bill and adopting a petition to that effort. Mr. Councillor Sower butts occupied the chair. Thee chairman, in opening the meeting, expremed his • • royal of the biU which had been introduced by Mr. Gladstone • said that it would enfranchise • large number of working men; that if it was not all earnest reformers could wish for, it was at any rate a practical instalment towards the full measure which, es the nature and intelligence of the working dames pro gressed, must ultimately be granted. Mr. Osbaldeston moved, " That in the opinion of this meeting of the inha bitants of the beroagh of 'Preston the government fran chise bill recently Introduced by gachea the Chancellor of the uer is a just and wise measure of reform ; that it will admit to the right of voting • considerable number el the loyal, industrious, and intelligent working men ; that this meeting hereby declare that the bill ought to pus both houses of parliament and become the electoral law of the country. Should the bill not be pared, this meeting respectfully urges on government the propriety of immediately dissolving parliament." Mr. WDowall se conded the motion, which was supported by Mr. Heywood, and canted. A petition, inted for presentation to the House of Commons, and embodying the sentiments of the resolution, was adopted. DZWBBURY END Reurnf.—Large and enthn elastic meetings were held at Dewsbury and Batley, in Yorkshire, on Saturday, for the purpose of ascertain ing the opinions of the inhabitants as to the reform measure now before parliament. There was a general feeeling in favour of the government scheme, and although the wish runs uppermost that a rediaribution of seats will soon take plaoe and that Dewsbury will by such a change be enfranchised, it was thought that the course marked out by government was, perhaps , the most expe dient under all the circumstances. Mr. R. H. Rills, mayor, presided at the meeting in Dewsbury, which was convened at the request of 400 influential burgesses. Mr. John Mitchell moved, " That her Majesty's ment are entitled to the thanks of this meeting for the honourable manner in which they have brought forward their measure of parliamentary reform, and asked the ex istence of the ministry apoh its success. " Mr. William Moore, a working man, seconded the motion. The resolu tion was carried acclamation, and a petition approving of the objects of bill was unanimously adopted The principal resolutions passed at Batley expressed a hope that the government would resist all attempts to alter any of the present clauses which would render them less compre bensrve and liberal than they are at present. Other meet ings are about to be held for the support of the bill, in various portions of this populous district. Lean.—A large mass meeting of working men was held in Vicar's Croft, Leeds, on Friday afternoon, to consider the government Reform Alderman Tatham in the chair. The fi rst resolution declared that the go vernment (bill was an honest measure, and though re gretting that it was not calculated to give such a share of political power to the working classes as was anticipated, it was one that met with the approval of the meeting. The second resolution urged the worms men throughout the country to petition in favour of the bill ; and it also called upon the middle classes to redeem the pledge they made to the working claws in 1832, and *mist the latter to obtain their political enfranchisement. Both resolu tions were unanimously ado pted , after excellent speeches from Alderman Carter, Councillor Linsley, Councillor Gaunt, and other persons. A petition to parliament, em bodying the above resolutions, was also adopted. SOUTH Sarum —The mayor, in compliance with a numerously signed requisition, has appointed.

Sr. IVZB ' CoRNWELL.—A largely attended meet ing has been held at St. Ives—s prelude to other meetings to be held shortly at Plymouth and elsewhere--at which resolutions were passed unanimously approving of the new Reform Bill as the best, probably, that could be car ried through the house, and much better than the alterna tive—none at all. There was a peculiar . appropriateness in such a voice being raised at Bt. Ives, inasmuch as from special local circumstances which we have often ems, ttated upon, the name of the town is identified with a conservative M.P., whereas three-fourths of the electors, and nine-tenths of the non-electors of the town, are heart and soul thorough liberals.— Western Mornisse Neon DBNTOR.—A numerously attended meeting in favour of the government measure of reform was held on Thursday evening, in the Hope Chapel School-room, under the auspices of the Denton and Haughton branch of the National Reform Union.

On Friday a reform conference, convened under the auspices of the Glasgow Reform Union, was held in the Religious Institution Rooms, G no lv c r .; There were re sent delegates from the following :—Kelso, Selkirk, Dumbarton, Aberdeen, Gree , Lanark, Johnston,, Hamilton, Risley, Pollokshaws, Blantyre, Dundee, Blair gowrie, Haddington, Stewarton, Renfrew, Wilbarchan, Girvan, Darrel, Oriel% Vale of Leven, Cove, Port Ghia gow, and Glasgow. Baas Hay, of Dundee, was called on to l preeide. Councillor Burt, Glasgow, moved—" That this meeting, composed of delegates from the various towns and districts of Scotland, while regarding the Franchise Bill now before the House of Commons as falling ahort of the just claims of the people, yet aocept it ea an honestly intended measure of reform." The resolution was seconded by Mr. Saunders, Illeirpwrie, sad carried by acclamation. Councillor Denniston, Caemock, next moved —" That this conference, believing the motion of Lord Grosvenor to be insincere, resolve to use their best endea vours by petitions, public meetings, and otherwise, in their respective localities, to secure the adoption by parlia ment of the government Franchise Bill." This was seconded by Mr. James Moir, Glasgow ; and agreed to. It was further resolved on the motion of Mr. Bennett, Dumbarton, seconded by Mr. M. Caen, GUl gow—" That the delegates present pledge thanselves to eommunicate with their respective rspresentatime, urging them to support the government in carrying the Franchise Bill through parliament, and call on them to resist any proposal to limit the mops of the bill, and to exert all their influence to induce the House of Commons to put the most liberal interpretation on all its alauses." The meeting afterwards adopted a memorial to Bail Russell and Mr. Gladstone expressing satis faction at the introduction of the Franchise Bill; end with reference to future measures, submitting —" L That inasmuch m the dwellings of the people of Scotland are generally less in dimensions, and coawkiesetly lower in rental than those of the people of Ragland the bill at pelmet before the House of Commons would not omfer the elective franehise cu the same number et persona eosaperatively in Scotland as it world do in Rnglead. 2. That, memared by the increase of population in Scotland, and the revenue men* to the set towel limitequer, the Iceboat number of Neil in Scotland ea empanel auk other parts el the United Magda= is sot • LE' just and fair proportion." There wsealeoadoptedit petition to the lioustpl Compton' craving that the re form tabled by the government may be passed inso a law without delay. In the course of the proceedings several other delegates besides those mentioned addressed the meeting, all agreeing in expresting it as the feeling of their constituents that reformers should unite in support ing the ministerial bill. Mr. H. E. C. Ewing, ,P. offered a few remarks to the effect that, though the bill did not go so far as he and others could wish, they should unite in its support. - STIRLING. On Friday night a meeting was held in the Union Hall, Stirling, for the purpose of petitioning in favour of the Reform Bill lately introduced by the government. Bailie Rankin occupied the chair, and among tliose= ' t were Bailie Yellowlees, Rev. Mr. Ross, Rev. Mr. ex-Bai li e Steel, Councillor Christie, Mr. Thinner! Muir, Ito. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting, and read the following letter from Mr. Oliphant, M.P. for the Stirling district of burghs :—" I am happy to hear that a meeting is about to be held at Stirling for the purpose of supporting the measure of the government in favour of parliamentary reform. Although it is doubtless to be regretted that the time at the disposal of the givernment will not permit of the Scotch and Irish Acts, sffld the bill for the redistribu tion of seats, being introduced this amnion, the govern ment, in my opinion, deserves the support of every sincere liberal, as, by promising to lay those bills upon the table of the house immediately after the passing of the second reeding of the English Franchise Act, it has given evidence of a sincere desire to enter honestly upon the whole question of parliamentary reform, and has established a claim upon the great liberal party of the country which cannot possibly be ignored. I trust, therefore, that the result of your meet ing will be to strengthen the hands of the government at this critical juncture, so that whatever may happen here after, the electors of Stirling, at all events, shall have no cause to reproach themselves with having neglected their I duties as conscientious reformers." A letter was also read from the Rev. Dr. Beith, of the North Free church, Stir in which he said—" I heartily rejoice that a movement is to be made in Stirling in support of the new Reform Bill. I sincerely wish the promoters of the movement success." The following resolutions were moved and alp ported :—Mr. Thomas Muir moved as follows :—" This meeting is of opinion that the government bill—reducing the county franchise in England to 141. • in boroughs to Tl ; and containing saving, bank, lodgers: and ratepaying dames—is a moderate and equitable measure of reform ; and that a petition, approving of the bill, and praying that its provisions be extended to Scotland, be signed by the electors and non-electors of the burgh, and presented to parliament" Bailie Ye ll owtails seconded the motion ; and the Rev. Mr. Ross supported it in a speech of some length. Rev. Mr. Culross moved—" That, as her Ma jesty's government have given a distinct pledge that a measure for the redistribution of seats will be introduced as soon as possible, the member for the burgh be asked to support the Franchise Bill at every stage through parlia ment." Councillor Christie seconded, and Mr. Scott sup ported, the motion. Treasurer Ferguson moved—" That a liberal oommitee be appointed to draw up the petition ; to watch over the progress of the bill ; and should it become advisable to elicit a further expression of public opinion in its favour to call another meeting of the electors " Mr. Thomas Leslie seconded the motion ; and • committee was appointed. The resolutions were unani mously carried. . - 4 BOTAIMAT. On Friday night a public meeting of the inha bitants of Rothesay, convened by the Bothesay Reform Association, was held in the Victoria Hall, for the pur pose of expressing an opinion as to the Reform Bill just submitted to parliament and the country by her Majest y' government. There was a large attendance. chair was occupied by Mr. Archibald M'Kirdy, and amongst those present were Mr. Robert Dal gliah, M.P., Mr. James Lamont, M.P.; ex-Provosts Jamie son, Sharp, and Brown ,• Baines Heaton and Richmond, tic. The Chairman read letters of apology reosived from Mr. Dunlop, M.P. for Greenock, and. Mr. Graham, M.P. for Glasgow, neither of whom was able to attend, though both approved of the objects of the meeting. Mr. Mac farlane moved, " That this meeting approves of the inten tion of government to follow up the Suffrage Bill with a measure for the redistribution of eats," which was conded by Mr. John Jamieson, and sup rted by Mr. la mont, M.P. and Mr. Govan, and • with unanimity. Mr. James WKirdy proposed, " That this meeting, consi dering the government Reform Bill to be an honest effort to settle the question, and approving of the sub stantial extension of the franchise proposed there in, pledges itself to use its best endeavours to support the government in carrying it through parliament." Mr. P. B. Ferguson seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Robert Dalgliah, M.P. The latter said —lt appears to me that there is considerable fallacy in the argument that a bill for the lowering of the fran chise should also be coupled with a bill for the redistribu tion of seats, because I think it must be evident to every one that if you are to lower the franchise, or to increase the number of electors in any district, you must do that before you can possibly come to a redistribution of seats. Wait tall you have got the Franchise Bill passed, and then you will have a constituency which will render redistribu tion necessary. But there is another reason why I support the government in the plan they have adopted, end it is this—give us the greatly increased constituencies, and after you have done so the constituencies themselves will very soon produce a redistribution of seats, and for this very clear reason that, if you have largely increased con stituencies, they will insist, whether they return tory Ml didates or no, that thez i l:a r v i e a proportion of power in the House of Commons a proportionate power. I mean this, that the two mem ber, for Glasgow should have no more in the House of Commons than the two members for the immaculate burgh of Totnes. I hold that govern ment's endeavours to carry reform are perfectly honest. I do meet sincerely believe that if Lord Russell had been able again to propose a 61. franchise in boroughs he would have done so, but I believe that the government, after the most serious and mature consideration of the subject, came to the resolution that they were unable to carry a bill with a lower franchise than that proposed. The following resolution was also unanimously paved—" That the Reform Association be requested to prepare a petition in terms of the foregoing resolution, and take the neces sary steps to have the same largely signed by the friends of reform, and presented to parliament through Mr. Lamont ;" and the meeting, which had throughout been a most enthusiastic one, separated. LANARK. At a meeting of the town council on Monday, on the motion of Provost Adams, it was agreed to petition parliament in favour of the government Reform Bill. On Thursday evening a public meeting of the inhabitants was held in the Town•hall. Provost Adana was called to the chair. The object of the meeting was to enlist the opinion of the inhabitants regarding the Reform Bill now before parliament, and to take what steps might be deemed neces sary. Resolutions were passed in favour of the measure, and two delegates were appointed to attend the conference to be held in Glasgow on the following day. POLITICAL DISTITERA-NCES AT Torras.—TOTNES, SATURDAY ETKRING.—Our town has been the scene of a series of disgraceful riots, which originated in the unseat ing of Mr. Fender, on the ground of bribery ; another cause of ill-feeling being the uprooting of some trees in the cemetery by one of the witnesses before the election committee. The disturbances commenced on Wednesday night, and were repeated more or leas till to-day, when one of the ringleaders was taken before the magistrates and remanded. Mr. Fender, who has been moat generous to the borough, having given several munificent sums for the erection of schools and like purposes, is generally re spected, and when the news came that he had been un seated, great excitement and indignation prevailed, espe cially as according to the evidence, there had been comiderable bribery and corruption on the aide of the victorious party. It was determined by some of the more zealons politicians to give the principal witness, Mr. Harris, • " warm " reception on his return from town. Mr. Harris's friends were equally determined to defend him. A procession was started at the higher part of the town, headed by men carrying trees and an effigy of Mr. Harris with two faces under one hat ; on the back was • large placard bearing the words, " Judea the Traitor ;" in his hands were bags of money, dry fish, and other emblems. This effigy underneath a gallows was constructed by some professed liberals, anti the members of the opposite party got up a counter demonstation ; they made the effigy of • lady confectioner in the town (Mrs. Thomas), who had shown a leaning towards the liberals. The first procession was accompanied by a band of tin pots and kettles, the second by a fife and drum band and persons carrying lighted torches. One party proceeded to the house of Mr. Reeves and smashed in the windows ; then they went to Mr. Harris's, and cheered to the echo ; afterwards they visited Mrs. Thomas's shop, broke several panes of glass, and violently assaulted the lady herself. Mr. H. Bowden, • great party man, was similarly treated. Next, the ruffians went to the Seymour hotel, the head-quarters of the liberals, and assaulted Mrs. Beasley, the landlady. Bludgeons were freely used, and more than 100 persons were seriously injured. It is ex that the town will be in • state of great excitement rur td ing the next election. Loss oe THE QUEEN, BRISTOL A/11) FLINT= SveAnsisri..—lntelligence was received at Bristol yester day of the loss of the Queen steamship, which plies be tween that port and Hayle, in Cornwall. The Queen, which was • very handsome vessel, was built some 12 or 14 years ago by Messrs. Stothera and Slaughter, iron ship builders, of Bristol, and she has latterly been overhauled at a heavy expense, and was considered in all reveals as good as when first turned out of hand by her builders. On Thursday night the Queen left Cumberland Basin, Bristol, on her 690th voyage. She carried a valuable cargo and seve ral pasesagen, and had on board (including her 02600Y5 and mew) between forty and fifty souls. The night was • fine one and moonlight, and everything seemed to indict. plemant and prosperous voyage. The particulars to hand of the disaster are at preeent Tay meagre, but it would seem that in rounding Hartland Point she in some wag Amick and made water so fart that the captain, to rave Ur sinking in damp water, ran into Padstow Bay, where it stranded. The mew and passengers managed to escape, but the fate of the venal is, we believe, considered doubtful. Further particulars are asticionall looked for, especially br those bomb* property oil beard.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK OlRCUlT.—Nonwicff, Itasca 29. CROWN CotraY.—(Before Mr. Serjeant Tozer.) William Davis was indicted for the manslaughter of Henry Alfred Lydamore, on the high seas, on the 6th De °ember, 1865. TM prisoner was the matter of the smack Rouseabout, of Yarmouth, and Lydamore a cabin boy on board. The ease for the prosecution was that the boy had been cruelly beaten and ill-used by the prisoner, and that in consequence of the injuries received he had su bsequently died. There appeared to be no doubt that the prisoner had repeatedly thrashed the boy with the tiller rope, whether rightly or wrongly, but the medical testimony failed in showing that the immediate cause of death was the result of such treatment. According to the evidence of the surgeons called, the death was caused by a wound on the head, which was shown to have been occasioned by a fall from the companion ladder. The prisoner was then tried on the minor charge of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and the jury returned a verdict of lin Guilty. Mr. Cherry prosecuted, and Mr. Metcalfe • defended the prisoner. In the Nisi Prim Court the jury in Lucas v. Newman, reported in our columns of yesterday, returned a ver dict for the plaintiff. A poaching case of no particular interest concluded the criminal bunnies. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) RALDWICK O. TIM QUAY zooms RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Metcalfe for the plaintiff ; Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Stephenson for the company. This was an action brought to recover damages for in juries sustained in a railway accident on the 25th January, 1.865. The plaintiff is a traveller for a wholesale grocery business in London, engaged at a salary of 5501. a year, and on the day in question was travelling in a third-class car riage from Ipswich to Bungay. Some bullocks appear to have strayed up the em ban kment on to the line, and as the train neared the Herndon° station the engine struck one of them, swerved off the line, and rolled down the embank ment ; the coupling irons broke, and this saved the rest of the train from falling. In consequence of the concussion the plaintiff was thrown violently over a seat into a further compartment, one of his teeth was knocked out, and he lay for some little time stunned at the bottom of the Barr e. When he was somewhat recovered, he opened the door and sprang out, when catching his foot against the leg of the bullock be fell and rolled down the embankment. The medical evidence went to show that the plaintiff bad suffered from concussion of the spine, and that his nervous system was still considerably deranged, so much so, that he had been advised, and as the plaintiff himself said compelled, to relinquish a considerable part of his business, with a corresponding diminution of his salary. For the defendants, it was contended that the accident was not occasioned by the negligence of the company. The jury were of opinion that the oomny was liable, and returaW a verdict for plaintiff, with 2001. damages. MARCH 31 (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jary.) TIIOOOBI Y. DIAL AND OTHERS. Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Stephen son for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bulwer, Q.C., and Mr. Metcalfe for the defendants. The plaintiff was the master of a small sloop called the Oddfellow, and the defendant Beal part owner of a barque called the Abyssinian. On the 26th March, 1865, flare appeared to have been a severe gale off the Norfolk coast, and no leas than 80 vessels ran into Lowestoft Harbour for shelter, amongstthemithe plaintiffs sloop. Very shortly aftelthe defendant's barque followed, came into collision with the smaller vessel and did such damage as caused it to sink. For the plaintiff it was contended that this was in consequence of the bad seamanship of the defen dants. For the defendants, on the other hand, it was argued that it was purely an accident and unavoidable. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages 3501. Another cause of no public interest is in course of hear ing, and that will conclude the business of this assize. The Lord Chief Justice took his seat to-day in the nisi prim mart for the first time since his recent indisposition. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LivsgrooL, Iti Lacs 31. Owing Coorrr.—(Botore Mr. Judi°. Mellor.) ALLEGRO WURDZE OP A CAPTAIN ST A FORZION SAILOR. Antonio Petrone, • Spanish seaman, was indicted for the murder of Bran Hughes, at Gersten, on the 11th February last. The deceased and three other captains of vessels were drinking together at the Gersten Hotel, on the night of the 11th, and about 11 o'clock they left with the intention of proceeding to the Gunton dock, where their vessels were. On the way they met with the prisoner, who ap to be intoxicated, and Captain Hughes, pitying Cs are stndition, offered to conduct him to his ship. They went along together for some time, and then, with the prisoner in his charge, Captain Hughes left his companions, and crossed to the part of the quay where the Antonio (the prisoner's vessel) was moore& Shortly afterwards the friends of Captain Hughes heard a scuffling noise, and saw two men leap from the bows of the Antonio. Aimed immediately Captain Hughes staggered backwards, and, falling into the arms of one of his friends, Captain Jenkins (who had run up), he declared that he was stabbed. Hughes died in a few days afterwards. For the defence it was urged that the prisoner, being a foreigner, was under the idea that the deceased intended to rob and molest him. The jury acquitted the prisoner of murder, but found him Guilty of manslaughter, with • recommendation to mercy. Sentence was deterred. ALLZGED MEMOIR IN A COAL MINE. William Wedgewood, a collier, was indicted for having, on the 12th January last, murdered Abraham Simm, in the Leigh coal-pit, at Daydock. The deceased was also a col lier, and some dispute had taken place between the men relative to the appropriation of certain boxes or tubs of coal. During this dispute the prisoner went to another part of the mme and returned with • large hammer, and when Simm was next seen he was found so dreadfully bruised and injured about the head that he died some days after wards. The skull had been driven into the brain. The prisoner was found Guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude. THE CRAVEN WEEK AT NEWMARKET. TO TITZ JIDITOR OF TIM 11111388. Sin, —Eastertide is to be kept most religiously, or Lereligimudy, by the turf community, for whom above a score of meetings of some description are this week pro vided. Ave days' racing at Durham, York, and Catterick Bridge is ordained, as if purposely to keep the northerners in their own district ; and while " professions) sportsmen" are battling away at Newmarket until Friday, profes sional caterers, who get up a programme to please their friends and the public, on the same kind as theatrical , and quite right too, will be busy at Blackheath mid • (shall we ever have them at 131ackfriars and Paddington-green?) at the commenoement of the week, and Croydon at the close. Those just enumerated are the main "fixtures" of the twenty-one ; but Newmarket, of course, takes precedence, though its programme, taken altogether, is as weak as the fact of only 5001. (for the plates are, or ought to be, self-supporting) added money being spread by the executive over two more of events would make one. The four-year-old and Derby Trial Stakes, that have at times done so much for the Craven week—only last year, we had Ely and Cambriscan contest ing the Biennial, and Fills de l'Air and General Peel the Claret—have turned out most unfortunate, the Trial, Port, and Claret being foregone conclusions ; whilst of the fifteen three-year-old prizes to be picked up, there are not mare than three of the smallest significance—and these, it is to be feared, will fail to oreateTa tithe of the intend they did last year, when the performances of Kangaroo, leek o' Inntern, ite., so startled the knowing ones. We have a couple of these " weeps" in Monday's list that ap pear settled, &ea having but to walk over for the first, and Lothario being quite good enough to ware the second, on the strength of his performance last autumn with Drum, who only beat him a head when in receipt of 211 b. for a Nursery. The latter is deemed good enough to win, with bet 101 b, the Newmarket Handicap, mile and three quarters, on Tuesday, which plainly shows the calibre of his opponents, of whom Pearl Diver, another moderate horse only is made the favourite at fist 81b. John Day, who won the Northamptonshire Stakes so easily with the ilet John Davis that he immediately looked like sack ing all the remaining spring handieapa, has three in—Lord Zetland, 7st 71b, Innedowne, 21b, and Black Prince, fist 101 b ; however, it is said neither of the two latter will tun, though the Prince was at one time first favourite, and that Lord Zetland is in no " form" to win. Eskring and Whalebone, fist 7lb each, are booked the most formi dable opponents of Drum among the three year olds, and unless the French Tourmalet appear upon the scene at the last moment, I shall not be surprised to see these finish the foremost trio, supposing John Day's three are really out of court, for they all promise to stay as well as Pearl Diver. At any nits, I must search among them for the winner, and it will be difficult, in my opinion, to discover one to beat the Drum. The Rowley Mile Biennial loses most of its in terest by the Student and Robin Hood declining to show, the ,Primate, Magician, King Hal, and Mount Palatine, now composing the cream of those knoihi to fame that promise to run ; and unless something " dark" should beat them all, or one of the lot were to win very easily, neither the Two Thousand nor Derby will be materially altered. There is certain to be a good field, as the stake is worth 6801., out of which the second takes 681., and the third, 34/. ; but it is uncertain whether we shall see J. Scotts Westwick or Penelope Plotwell, or the Peer, make a debut, and such as Gladiator, Gookust, Catalogs, Loohiel, Staghound, Warwick, and Denman, will form the majority of the limners. The last-named ran =plead three times last season, but was always in good company, and promised so much improvement that, if pulled out to ccaarrrryy" the Baron's" colours, he must not be thrown overboanL Still, the Primate did well several times, showing form within • very few pounds of Mr. Pitt's in two instances, and in another giving Ewa 31b and a bast ing ; and if he does not win, it may be owing to Magician (who runs untried) being a much better three than he was • two year old, which is not at all unlikely. A trio of three-year-old sweepstakes should be swept off by Robin Hood (Baron Rothschild's), Mirella, and Pram ine re ••t{vely ; but all I can say of the dark lot in the Beacon Stakes is, that Hermit (Achievement , Politician, and Pho tographe are all reputed to be extremely good horses—too good, perhaps, to run for so small a stake. Wednesday will be an awfully slow day, for the Derby Trial is at the mercy of the mighty Frenchman, and the Column •ppean but a match, if they come out in good trim, between Crown Prince and Beelzebub. The other events that may come to anything will merely foster "excessive gambling," and all that can be said of them is, that neither the Giraffe filly nor St. Sophia need to turn out very good to beat In Muta (who possesses however, • little " form") for the T.Y.C. Sweep stakes. In Thuredsy's bill of fare there are eight out of ten events completed, including a couple of two-yair-old races with Problem engaged, and for which she will find it very difficult to get home, having a 151 b, penalty in the Abingdon, and a Tartar to meet for the Sweepstakes in Hippo, who ran Mr. Chaplin's filly a severe race at Northampton, after having something taken out of her in the struggle with Mr. Pitt for the Whittlebury. The Claret must be taken by Gladiateur ; but the four-year old Biennial is somewhat open, the Duke, Archimedes, Sydmonton, and Friday being well worth pulling out, for if the two latter are not of so good a class as the others, they will like the long two miles better than the Duke, whilst Archimedes, the best of the whole lot, will hardly be up to the mark. Under all the circumstances, the struggle may lie between the Duke and Sydmonton, and were the former to decline the encounter, Lord Portsmouth's glutton would appear • better " thing" than would Lord Hastings's horse, sup posing the pair met. The R.M. Sweepstakes might pro voke an interesting race between Lothario, the Duke of York, and Ambition, it being for previous running to show whether the first-named can beat his highness ; but it is only • matter of King Hal being right for him to have the beet of Gladiator and Bertie in the Criterion Course Sweepstakes, whilst Face in the Aake Produce and the Pri mate in the 100 son. Sweepstakes may not be opposed. Face again looks like walking over for the Bennington on Friday when the Marquis of Hastings can so amity walk off with the Port ; and there are none better than Dales man in the 100 son. Sweepstakes, and Warwick in the 30 son. " ditto," on last year's form.—l am, kn., METEOR. LONDON BELTING.-BATITEDAY. The close of the week in which so much good is effected, is a positive relief to racing men and the world general. general There was an average muster at the Victoria Club to day, but excitement did not run so high as during the previous week. Student allowed healthy dims of occupying a respectable Leg:n in the market for both the Two and Derby long. His friends did not hesitate about taking 100 to 6, and finally 15 to 1 for the Guineas and 18 to 1 for the Derby. atter 20 to 1 had been laid several times to money. Lord Lyon holds his ground against all comers for both events. After GOO to 500 had been noted for the Two Thousand, even money was offered, while at 6 to 1, or perhaps even half a point lees, he would have met with most substantial support for the great Epsom event. The business done on the Handicaps was insignificant Pearl Diver was in immense force all over the town early in the forenoon, and at "the Clubs" he left off at 4 to 1 taken and wanted. Drum, Whalebone, and Zskring were each backed at 7 to 1, the last bet about the former, however, being 100 to 15. It was said that money was being got quietly on lord Zetland, who, after being the medium of a considerable outlay at 100 to 8 left oil at 10 to Icoffered). Dolby from the strong " party" behind him, is in no danger of being displaced by anything in the market at present, and his chance for the Cup seems more likely every day. To-day 10 to 1 was the highest price available, but at 18 to 1 or 100 to 8 he would have commanded strong support. galactin, Sandal, sad gurney were fancied at their quoted vetoes, but Salpinctet was knocked out to 1000 to 10 —accepted, however, three tdmes. In dealing with the Derby, we had almost omitted to say that at the very last moment 1000 to 9D was booked about Strathconan, and that • large speculator offered to take 65,000 to £4,000 that Rustic beats Lord Lyon.

Two men, named Priestley and Alderson*, calling them selves general dealers, were charged with attempting to defraud M. Loa. Thiele, a bullion dealer and beaker, at 83, Minories. On Tuesday last the prisoners, who were entire strangers to him, entered his shop, and after some conver sation told him mysteriously that they had a quantity of jewellery to sell. They went away to fetch it, and in the meantime he sent for a policeman. On their return they produced a package containing a lot of Albert chains and three silver watches. He put one of the chains into a scale to weigh it, and found it to be rubbish, as well all the rest. They were then given into custody. Committed for trial, but admitted to bail in 25/. each. - - Prangs Clements, a cabdriver, with a license numbered B 1,052, was charged with furious driving, and thereby doing damage to a chaise cart and inflicting injuries to the occupants thereof. police-constable Ellwood, 519, City _police deposed that at a quarter-past eleven o'clock on Thursday night, he was on duty in Fenchurch-street, when he maw the prisoner drive a Handsom cab at a furious rate, and run into a chaise cart with such violence as to break the shaft, upset the vehicle, and throw out Mr. Saunders, a stationer living in the Blackfriars-road, and his wife on to the pavement. The prisoner was at once taken into custody, and though the worse for liquor was not drunk. The evidence of the officer was corroborated by Mr. Saunders and by a bystander. In reply to the alderman, Mr. Saunders mid he should seek compensation for the injury done to his vehicle by bringing an action in the county court against the pri soner's master and employer. Mr. Alderman Wilson remarked that his own experience in the streets of London showed him the reckless manner in which the drivers of Hansom cabs conducted themselves. They were regardless of life and limb, and when remon strated with only manifested the most disgusting and abu sive insolence. The prisoner must go to the House of Correction for 21 days, with hard labour, and his badge and license must be fo rfeited,: so that he never again could infest the streets of the metropolis with his reckless driving. BOW-STREET. Degcksk,4 Strand, bookseller, wu summoned for an assault upon Matthew Carr, the landlord of the King's Arms, at the corner of Wycb-street, and for a second assault upon Mr. Carr's barman.

HARDWARE.—Btaumorum, Maws 3l.—The trade of this town is fully as active as it has been for the past two months ; there are a great many orders in hand for the new quarter, and the demand for material is steady. In the metal trades a large amount of business is being done. The foreign orders have been steadily in c ens rag last month, in addition to the large quantity, in band on account of the United States. Them is more activity in the continental trade, chiefly with that of the north of Europe; the West Indian trade in ap to the uremia; that with South America has rallied of late ; and there is said to be a prospect of improvemeat in that of the East Indies. COTTON 0001)8.—Naemissive, Mena 31.—The im mease arrivals of cotton again during the pad week have tended to igolothedulistasanddepression of the yarn and cloth market, and at the close of the week we have the Easter holidays, which are gladly seised hold of by buyers as an additional excuse for withholding pur chases. The business throughout the week has been on a very limited scale. On Thursday some large offers were made by the buyers of shipping yarns and of cloth, bat at prices which could not be accepted. Still the offers were construed as an indication that some check was at band to the depr essi on of the previous ten days, and a more cheer ful feeling has been the consequence to-day.
