142 Sporting. TO Tifk: EDITOR 01' "TAE PREbs." A few words, sir, de rebus Ascoticis. All must admit that we have had a capital week's sport, fine weather, large fields, and good horses. Ariosto opened the ball by defeating Ephesus and thirteen others for the Trial Stakes, the running of William Rufus and Lelia being watched with anxiety by the respective owners of the future winners of the Hunt Cup and the New Stakes. nataptan heat Pelion anywhere and everywhere for the Queen's Vase, and added one to the many proofs we already possess of the wonderful form of the Derby winner. Lady Evelyn, lame before starting (though backed against the field), cut a bad figure in the Ascot Han dicap, which was won easily by Buckthorn, whose vic tory must he attributed more to the badness of his antagonist% than to any gleat merits of his own. The defeat of IVeathergage for the Four-year-old Triennial by a horse at least eighteen pounds worse than himself, as well as t. le running of Defiance in the Emperor's Cup, testified to the impossibility of bring ing horses once stumped up hack to their form at three weeks' notice, or the wish of Mr. Parr. Frank Butler very nearly succeeded in placing the Coronation Stakes to General Anson's account, Catherine Hayes winning only by the shortest of heads. Her Vbs. penalty probably induced her Marty to allow a short-run race; had the pace been Unproved I think she would have won cleverly; but her sanguine partisans, who, after her Oaks victory, talked of pitting her against West Australian, must new be convinced of their error in judgment. Prlion succeeded in beating twenty-eight of his t•Aelity-nine opponents for the Hunt Cup, being de feated by a horse who, only having started onee in ltis life, was handicapped in this rare tit the trifling difference of twe n tt-sir pounds, and in the great Western Stakes at thirty• s 1 pounds, the reason for the addition of the ten pounds, if patent to those who nfkinsted the weights, being inexplicable to the aver lightened public. The Tuo.3 oar old Triennial did not introduce us to firlyt hi g very rtiluntuble. Meteor w ill, however, have e better day. lord Exeter was rewarded for his perseverance in bringing his horses to the post by winning the Throe year-old Triennial iu consequence of Satin/Mourne being left behind, after a eentliet with The 'Weer. who himself did not leave the fray until the ether two horses Mut got tifty )11rds start. Thursday produeed ft trimming % ear old in totocent, who won the New Stakes in Reenter, and a ..Ty fine race for the Emperor's Cup !tempo' Ted d oegtmt and Stockwell, the former winning by a short, head. which ought to have been half a length it' he had kept quite straight at the finish ; the fault, how ever, being probably not the horse's but hit jockey's, who invariably contrives to make every animal he titles swerve at the end of a severe race. In my opinion the owner of Teddington may consider hiun sclt' very fiwtmette in having to add another to his long list of victories, for it' the race had been run ten days later, or it' Stockwell had net overpowered his rider, the sideboard of Burghley would have been euriAcit by another troph y .

CRICKET.—During the past week, being Ascot Race week, there has been no match of interest played upon Lord's Ground. The match for Monday next is that between the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The two elevens are reported to include some most rising players, indeed better than any that have come up of late years, but whether good enough to recruit the ranks of the Gentlemen in their match against the Players must be judged of on Monday. During a series of years Cambridge has generally been victorious in this annual contest; last year Oxford was in the ascendant. On the present occa sion the sides are supposed be very evenly balanced. ( nYntcrrxaL. CITY, FRIDAY NWHT. The Stock Market during the week has been in an un comfortable state of suspense, in which it remains this evening, waiting some definite intelligence touching the Turkish difficulty. The slight improvement which was visible both in stocks and shares early in the week could not be maintained in the face of so many warlike rumours, and yesterday a fall of nearly 4 per cent. in Consols was established, principally, however, by the efforts of the ape ►•ttlato►s. This morning the quotations looked better. though the market was again shaken by the telegraphic despatch, announcing that the English and French fleets had sailed for the Bosphorus. Exchequer Bills have et perieneed a rise, owing to the large payments in money, and were actively dealt in to-day at Os. to Ss. premium. Consols for the July account left otf at 981 1 ; Reduced were 981 9 ; New Three and a Quarter per Cents., 1014 14x11; India Bonds, 325. premium; Bank Stock, 229. Yesterday payment of 750,000 J. was made for the Excite quer Bills that remained of those not sent in for renewal, thus completing the discharge of the total sum of 3,110,000/. Foreign stocks have continued heavy throughout the week, and were again lower to-day. Russian Fives fell fully 2 per cent., num 119 to 117 ; the Four-and-a-Half Stock being done at 102 f 103. Portuguese Fours declined to 39, the bondholders generally declining to "convert," even under the compulsory intimation from the Portuguese Govennnent. Mexican, which advanced a few days since to 2sl upon receipt of assurances f►om Santa► Anna that the interest should he duly secured ou the enstoms duties as heretofore, have &Ben this attenmon to !M. Spanish Threes dosed at 4k Deftlreil, 231. The Railway Market shares in the general depression. Business to was inactive, and the quotations declined almost. universally. Great Northern fell 10s. to I•ss. per shur•e ; Midland, 55.; Oxford and AVolverhampton, lUs.; Caletlonitm, 10x.; East Lincolnshire, 1!. Foreign shares have drooped still more, with a very languid market. Rlarktts. LONDON CORN MARKET, FRIDII.—The arrivals of English grain this week have been very small, and moderate of tbreign. To-day's market was Intended by several country buyers from a distance. English wheat commanded the extreme rates of Monday, but foreign being generally held for an advance checked sales, and we are unable to quote may improvement. The same may be said of flour. There is at fair demand for barley, beaus, and peas, at Monday's quotations. Oats command an advance of d. per quarter. Considerable transactions have taken place in doming car goes of wheat from the south of Europe, the prices paid being 365. Ikl. to 30s. for Polish Odessa; ass. to 425. for Oulatz ; and 38s. for Itoumelia. SMITHFIELD.—AIthough the supply of beasts OD offer to-day was not large, the demand for that description of stock ruled heavy, and in some instances the quotations had a downward tendency. Sheep moved off slowly, at a decline in prices of td. per The primest old Downs sold at 4s tfd. per 81bs. The lamb trade was in a very inactive state, and the currencies gave way 2d. per 81bs. The top figure was 2d. per tabs. PRICES CURRENT. BEITISH FUNDS - OFFICIAL QU( Mina 9 per Cent.
