The executioa was put iu io trctober, 1,459. and is February he saw Colibstt, when the plaintiff told him he would pay what re mained when he r.t any coroosiesioe. Cobbett then said he 1.a.1 uo intention of arresting him, but on his go.ug to stubbs'a Ake he was arrested at Colkett's suit, and took the benefit of the Insolvent Act. When be was a bankrupt in 1a.14 his debts were 4,4001., and Isis assets, but for the legal 'amuse*, would have but o sufficient to pay Ilk. io the pound. Shortly befi,re his lankeiptcy he had flagiget) in aorommodation bills. He bad got bills for dti.V. discounted by Messrs. Kemp :.mil Clay, bill hi..kers. His clerk received 11;0/. fur those bills, and on plaintiff's return from the country, being dissatis. bed with the large iliseollut, he called on Messrs. Kemp awl flay with the mousy, and demanded the bills Ilea, but thev said they hail nut th=hem. The libel waa then put ha etnesexamioed by Mr. Jamey —The last time I took the invent of the act was last year. I obtained the goods from Mr. Cobbett on the ttrd of July. I was thee living at No. S. Amershantetreet, New-croft I bail got goods from Beek and Brothers, upholsterers, of Whiteehapel, about • year before to the amount of 601. I did not pledge Mi. , : goorb. I got an advance on them.

I went there is July and remained there till September. I left She day before the quarterday in September. Fingey either task away the rood. on quarter-day or the day before. It was in time— the landlord could not come in and take them. (laughter.) I .11.1 not pay my rent. I paid everybody but the root. Laughter.) I have never paid it be cause the eoutract was not fulfilled. It,. James—lint you dal not stop to fulfil it, you know. (Laeghter.) What was your landlord's name! Witness—l forget. Mr. Javier -How moch do you owe him ? Kr. James -Did you put him in your schedule ? Witness—No. Mr. James—Yon did not even pay him that compliment. (Laughter.) Where did you nest go? Witness—To Cliultou, in Kent, where part of Mr. Cob lutes goods were. I took part of a house there. I stayed there for nearly six months. My goods were sold up there. and I then owed my landlord 21. I bought no more goods after I left New-crap. I swear that. My Landlord Wyatt, at Charlton, was inspector of caulkers in the dockyard. He had a salary of a bou t two guineas a week sod • shop in the Berlin line. I got him to ...rept bills for me to the amount of 2001. 1 have not pod Wyatt a shilling of the 2/. He does not require it. Ire is a relation of mine. I was turned out of the establishn,eut of Means. Taplin and Co. about March, 1859. The bills were accepted by Wyatt in 1453. I had been with my brother, and we quarrelled awl had law proceedings about my five years' agreement. I offered to settle it for 130/. After paying costa I got about 60/. When I left Charlton I went to live with a sister of mine, at 4, Huntingdon street, Barnsbury.park. I was doing nothing then. 1 then went to a brother of mine at Man chewier, and stayed there about three weeks. I then went ti lodge with Mrs. Crompton, at 30, North. lace, Gray's- ion, where I ressinsd from March till August. I left owing her 10/. for rent, coals, and washing. (Daugh ter.) I have since paid her 2/. 1 then went to No. 9, Milburnatreet, Bedford-row, where lam now. I did not represent to Cohhett when I got his goods that 1 was still with my brother. I had not seen my brother since the trial at Croydon. Mr. Baron Martin—Whit is the amount of the u oder the schedule ? Mr. James-3781. lie. 7d. Mr. Baron Martin—What are the saute ! Mr. James-12/. A Juror—Was the schedule subsequent to the libel ! Witness—Yes. Mr. James—But the debts were incurred before. Did you file another schedule! Wituem—Yes. I was put into prison. I took the benefit of the act. My debts were then 2411. I scheduled a Mn. ;atm, of Cluetoont-place. Pentoeville. for 71. rout, but I bad paid her SOL I bad also lodged at 16, Claremont-plats, and I owed my landlady them 8!. Mr. James- Oh, here is another widow my friend Mr. Hawkins has found—(laughter)—Mn. Pheasant. Wituess —She was the landlady at 16, Claremont-place, and had removed to Regent-street. Under my bankruptcy my certificate was suspended for six months for reckless tradingg. It was not for fraud. I swear that. Mr. James—Now, look at this hilt Did you get it dis counted by Messrs. Kamp and Clay Witnem—My clerk did for me. The man who accepted tide bill was named James Smith, and it it addressed to him at Bath. He had a house at Bath, and was in my service. It is payable at Smith, Payne, and Co.'s. I knew he had Ino account there. I got him to accept bills to the amount of 301 Y., which I got discounted by Kemp and Clay. I had ' a banking account with Roberts and Co. 1 endorsed the bill after Smith had accepted it. Smith did not live at Bath ; he had a house there. Over my signature in this ' bill there are the word.. " The Scotch and 1 orkshire Spin ning Company." I called my house in Wool-street that— Baughteri—to dish:l4ll'h it from my brother'.. r. James— What did you spin? (Laughter.) Witame—A good many carpets. I addressed this bill to Mr. Wyatt, at Poetess. He was the dockyard nun. lai l. nghter.) He accepted Use bill payable at Williams, oce, and Co.'s. and after he it I endorsed it. My clerk intimated be shoakt so accept it. That was with my knowledge. ' Mr. Baron Martin—What did you pay your creditors ander your bankruptcy Witame—Oely fa. thL ; the rest was eaten up. Mr. Junes—Did you hear the judgment of the com eakaloner ? Wither—Yes. and Mears. Kemp sad Clay swore I took them the bills and represented them m trade tells ; but I sweet I never west to them ; my clerk took the bills. When I went to Mr. Stubbs he said he would not insert anything for annovance, and inquiry should be made, but it never was. He also said that If it were inserte d from malicious motives he should strile the name of the sub scriber inserting it off the list. I am sow in the employment of Mr. Cletuentsou, of Gresham-street, ea commission agent. After I left my brother I was in the employ of Mr. Davidson. 1 left that service in consequence of the libel. I swear that he did not previously tell me he did not want inc. and would not have me about the place any longer. Mr. Davideon advanced me 2 1.31. on the furniture on which Tingey had advanced rif. He knew that Tingey had made in advance. I told him the furniture was worth 90!. Iravidnin did sot charge me with fraud is obtaining the advance from him. He never found fault with me for it. Ke.examined—The agreement with my landlord at Amer shato.street was that the house s _ ook! be papered and punted, but he did not tarty out his agreement. I brought an nether against m y brother under my agre e ment with him, which was set down for trial at Croydon. It was settled by him for IN.. and 75f. costs. When I was arrested at Mr. inelike's office, I petitioned the court sod wee dis charged. Mr. Gobbet' did not oppose me. I put dims the case of my ill10:•CDC, to being unable to attend to ben- Dem is 0011019USOC.. of a ntilway accident. When the libel was published I was doing a commission, hut was not in presthrousservice, and was endeavouring to Letter my. self. My swims under my bankruptcy. if no legal expenses Ihad been incurred, would Mire been 10a. in the pound. This closed the care for the plaintiff. Yr. Edwin Jamie then addressed tbs jury for the defence, contending that the defesdant's paper was carried ou with dis strictest hollow and iategrity, and that he had acted hash ids in issorting the libel complained of, at the M- I dense of ens ot the subscribers. Having severely com mented es On plaintiff 'I comes of life, the leased oounael welled Mr. aortas Edwin Stubbs, examiesd by Yr. Hawkins —I am the proprietor of the journal. Part of the object is to obtain the names and addressee of parsec. for legitimate purposes. Every ressonahls *airy is made Wen the inquiry is inserted. The Ga:rtte is only mipt.liol to sub. them When the plainti ff ca ll ed o n me he nail I had imerted his name in the swindling information, which is ditterent department altogether. He brought me the Gaultr, and I saw it was among s t the aildresees wanted. He sai d be thought his relations had done it to annoy him. I a 4 I would institute log: hies, and if that were so I would strike the name of tLe subscriber off the list. I made inquiries, and found the insertion wan made In onler ~f Mr. eobbett, who was AUNilkUll to recover a debt. I told the plaintiff the person who hail inserted it would meet hint at my office. I serer told the plaintiff I wa.. indemnified—nothing of that sort. Examined hy Mr. &riser Shee—We have upwards of *UM subscribers. We call ours an imditution. Mr. Serpent Shoe —The t:resham•street and London In stitution, the same as other people call themselves the Scotch and Yorkshire Spinning Company. (Laughter.) Mr. Edwin James (holding up a copy of the Guatt()— Thi..e are the yarns you spin. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Cobbett, upholsterer, at Dep►ford, examined by Mr. Keane— I bad known the plaintiff as a partner in the firm of T.qilin and Co. When I supplied him with the furniture be lad me to suppose he was still with the firm, or I would not have given him credit. It was to Le a cash traawc• tion. Nothing was *all about credit. In a few weeks I sent for the money. and not being paid I afterwards brought an action against him. My solicitor could not discover his address. An execution was issued which did not produce this amount of the debt. It produced nothing to me except s Liwyer's bill. I caused inquiries to be made for the plain. tirs whin,. with the view of arresting him. Ido not remember that the plaintiff made me nay offer to return the goods. A letter to Stubbs' office, directing inquiries to be made, was written by niy authority. I never was a sked for an indemnity by the defendant, nor (lid I offer it. A juror—My lord, the jury think we have had enough of it. Mr. **eat Shea—l must ask them to hear a few words from me. sarni continued—l directed the arrest of the plaintiff to be made. Fruw-exaniined by r.Serjeant Shea—Thinking the plaintiff was at Taplin and Co.'., I let Lim hare the goods, but I will is.sitively swear withiEg was said about credit. I did not enter into any guarantee with Mr. Stubbs on becoming • subscriber. A clerk of Messrs. Tingey. the inansget of the Pantechui• con in Tottenharrocourt.road. proved that the plaintiff took the goods there on the 24th of September, end received an advance of :tl/, on them ou the 4th of October. ^Ml7i:it. Kemp of the firm of Kemp and Clay. hill brokers, proved that he bad advanced Iho/. on two bills, which he believed had been brought by the plaintiff, and out by his clerk. Witness believed he advanced the money to the plaintiff himself. The acceptors of both the bills were men of straw, and had no banker's account. Mr. Davidson der;osed that the plaintiff wasliThis employ, and it vraa not true, as sworn by the plaintiff. that he had not told him he was no woe about the place before the publication of the libel. He had frequently told the plain tiff so. _ r . This closed the defendant's case, when the learned counsel on loth sides addressed the jury. Mr. Baron Martin, in anointing up, said that if they were satisfied that the plaintiff was improperly concealing him self from hie creditors, then he should tell them that the defendant had succeeded in making out a justification of the libel, for the publication was a libel. It was the duty of the defendant to satisfy them that he had made out his justification, and if he failed in that., then they should find for the plaintiff, with such damages as they thought proper Mr. Serjesnt Shire- I submit there is no proof of the plaintiff having kept out of the way. Mr. Baron Martin-1f I ant wrong you can correct my ruling. The jury then found a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Fes. 7. (Ware the Judie Ordinary.) SB.UWOIRTH V. MILTON AND 8.1.1M-151MCIAL JURY. The testatrix in this cause was Mrs. Helen Shadiurth, late el Hell, 11$0 died on the sth of April last, leaving property worth about 7,0001. On the 27th of the previous January she bad executed •will of which probate in the coin. MOD form had been taken out by the defendants. The plaintiff war Mr. Thomas Muter Madfortb, one of her SOU, and he prayed that the probate might be revoked on the puns' that the testatrix was not of testamentary capacity, and also that the instrument in dispute had been procured by the undue influence of Mrs. Burton, the wife of one of the defendants. The deceased left two sons, the plaintiff and a sou named William George; and she had also two sisters, Mrs. Burton and Miss Wilkinson. About fifteen years before, however, she had had another son acci dentally shot, and in 1854 her favourite daughter hail died. Her health had long been infirm. The will was drawn by Mr. Thompson, of Hull, solicitor, sod was attested by that gentleman and by the Rev. Mr. Lester. It bequeathed the interest of the pro perty to the two sons, with remainder to their children. if any, and to her sisters in the event of her sons leaving no issue. This disposition had been adopted, as was alleged, on account of the dissatisfaction which the testatrix felt at the conduct of her eons. The only pretext for the plea of incapacity was the gloomy view which the deceased, always of a melancholy temperament, hail latterly taken of her spiritual estate. Mr. Hawkins. Q.C., and Dr. Spinks appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Manisty, Q.C., Dr. Twin+, Q.C., and Mr. C. Pollock for the defendants. At the close of the defendants' case the plainti ff &ban domed his suit, and coats not being asked for. Sir C. Crouse!' said that he would abstain from condemn ing the plaintiff in them, but he must say that it was Amorist wanton and uniustifuble piece of litigation. He had been afraid that the case would turn out as it bad, from the temper which bad been displayed in the various inter locutory motions which had been made in the progress of the suit. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE RieAard Corrie Bathe, who was formerly one of the members of the Court of Common Council, representing the ward of Langbourne, and who was supposed to be a man of considerable influence and position in the City of London, was yestenley brought before Alderman Sir It W. Carden, for re-examination upon the charge of embezzling a large sum of money, estimated at nearly 7,000/., belonging to Mrs. Elizabeth Tall, the proprietress of an extensive rope and twine manufactory' in Fenchurch.street. It will be recollected that at the former examination it was proved that the prisoner had the entire management of the business, received a large salary, nod that the greet est coofithinee was placed in him. The evidence went to show that for a series of years the prisoner had been carrying on a rippled. system of plunder, by falsifying the entries in the books, and not paying in the full amount' of cash to the bankers ; and by these proceedings it would seem that he succeeded in defrauding the setabliihment of many thou. sands of pounds. Sonic preliminary evidence only was taken up.o the former occasion, and the prisoner was remanded, in order to afford au opportunity for bringing forward the necessary witnesses. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner for the prisoner. Mr. F. Whimsey was again examined, and said that on the 11th January he had an interview with the prisoner in the counting-house of Mrs. Tull, Fenchurch-street. He told him there were great discrepancies in his accounts, and at the same time handed him the cash-book and asked him to attest the addition of a particular page, and gave him page 3$ of the cash-book - , marked A, which on casting up be said wasl66f. 16s. ed. short cast. He then pointed ont severel other pages, which he added up, and said they also were wrong cast. He then Raked him if be could give any explanations respecting these skortcastings, to which the ;almoner replied that he could not. He then told him that there were other pages which were short cast besides those to which be had called his attention, and which he, witness, bad corrected. He told him that there were also great dis. crepancies in the shop cash-book, that there was consider able difference between the amounts noticed as received over the counter and those entered in the cash-book as having been paid into the bank. He asked if he could give any explanation, and he said be could not. He then told the prisoner that he should be most willing to go over the hooks with him at his (witness's) office. The prisoner asked him what amount he claimed, and be told him distinctly to understand that he claimed nothing. The prisoner told him that he had lost about 2,000/. by one of his relatives, but wham asked what that had to do with the deficiencies of his accounts he said he did not know. He (witness) then asked him if there were not 10 t..os of hemp belonging to Tull and Co. lying at Watkins' Wharf, and he said " He asked him were the delivery order was, and he replied that it was at the City Hank, where he had deposited it as • security for a hem of 100/. The order wee, free mid, originally for :t tons, but 750/. of the amount bad been paid off, so that 21 tons had been re leased. The delivery order was in the name of the broker, but he had endorsed it to him (the soner). He at fi rst said that the fi rm had received the benefit of the loan, and on witness asking him to show the entry in the cash-book of the firm he referred to a black memorandum book, which he said was a duplicate of his own book account at his own bankers, and he then said that be olid not think the firm did have the benefit of tlie loan. On the Saturday follow ing h e ram the pro caner at his (witness's) office*, and he remained there during the day going through his books. He asked him if he could then account for the dinzepaocies, and he said he had been checking some of them with his own private cash-book. He had only checked two or three ' • hut the first one he found he had paid into his own banksr's, viz., Messrs. Han kers, and showed him the item in his own book—it was ism ma. ed.- -the shorteasting of page 3A, book A. On looking at that. he (witnees) saw another one, vie, Mrs. Tall, 22/. 13e. 6d., 011 the debit side, and asked the pri soner the meaning of it, and be replied that he supposed he had borrowed that amount from the till. Croes.eminnsed by Mr. Woutner—The pruoner had given to me an account of moneys which he bad paid by cheques for the benefit of the firm ; bet I don't remember anything being said about that in the converiation I have related. One total of the sums he had paid was 14,8851. 15e. act, and another was 30.12/. lls. ld., which Mande' a Induce which had be.. brought forward of 3501. Os. 6d., ad also includes alleiher sum of 600/., which he told me he had not paid. It comnienced is January' 1857. On Wag maxamised by Mr. , Lewis, the witness said— Those payments, with the exception of 479/. ifm. 9d., an not in either of the cash-books. On going through the cash books be found severel sums Dot canted out in the addition column, and not paid into the bankers ; and on asking the prisoner for an explanation, he referred him to a red book an containing an explanation of these sums, and, aa be understood, as being another cash-book of the firm, as it refers to the folios in the firm's ledger, so that it was the firm had two cash-books and two bankers. There was only one amount not belonging totbe firm, he told witness he had borrowed from Messrs. Hankey. The whole of the amount entered in the account as sums received by the prisoner for accounts due to the firm was 17,41 t!. 10a. 2d., which ought to have been entered in the regular cash-book of the firm. The payments were lees than the receipts by 418/. 3s. 11d. On the debit side of the red cash-book, in addition to the amount borrowed from Messrs. Hankey, there was a sum of 5001. borrowed from Mr. Baxter, of which 250/. was entered as repaid. It woe not borrowed by the firm, other wise the deficiency would be 668/. 3s. 111, instead of 418/. 3s. 11,1. Mr. Alfred Austin, clerk in the War-office, produced from the Orduance Department four cheque., for the re spective amounts of 4451.95. rd. 57/. Plc 7091. ss. 11d., and 1;1/. Iss. 74., which had b:een puid to the prisoner on amount of the finn of Tull and Co., and to which were appended his receipts ; also two bills of exchange, one for 24-4/ Ms. 7.1., and the other for 2.44/. Rs. id. Mr. George Smith, secretary to the Hudson's Ilay Com pany, produced an invoice for 42/. Is, Id., dated .Jan. 19, dittie s which was piMl by a cheque given to the prisoner, and which had his receipt attached. Mr. Kenetly, collector to Messrs. Philip and Wigan, Mortlake, Surrey, produced an account for lit. 145., doted May 14, and produced the receipt for that amount signed by Mr. Baxter, and said — The cheque produced was given in payment of hat account. Thomas White, clerk to Mmirs. Pickford and Co., pro duced an invoice for Mt. lls. 6.1. for goods supplied by Messrs. Tull, which was paid on the sth January, and re ceipted by Mr. Baxter. Mr. Archibald Baxter, clerk to Messrs. Toll, said on the 541 January, 1859, he received the cheque for 33/. 148. lid. from Messrs. Pickfonl and Co.,and banded it to the prisoner, as well se 171. 15s. from Messrs. Philip and Wigan, and 1101. Ids. from Messrs. Lendall and Co., which he also handed to the prisoner. Mr. Whitley, of the firm of Ridley and Whitley, floor eleth manufacturers, produced a cheque for 14/. 55., which was given in payment of an account to Messrs. Tull, and which had been passed through Messrs. Hankeys. Mr. Lewis said be bad completed the case aa far as he could for that day, and applied for a further remand. The prisoner was remanded accordingly. Mr. Lewis said that Mr. Baxter in the employ of the firm, wished it to be understood that he did not lend the 5001. Solomon Hales and Loris Beall were charged, the former with stealing, and the latter with receiving, knowing them to have been stolen, a quantity of engravings, to the amount of 1,0001. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Solomon Marks said he was a printseller, carrying on business at 11, Blinoriea The prisoner Hales was in his employ as frame maker, and had access to all tarts of his business premises for business purposes. Since he had taken stock at Christmas last he bed missed prints from his shop to the value of 1,0001. from information he bad re ceived he went to the prisoner Brall's house, iu company with an officer, and there found a large quantity of engra. vinp, between two and three thousand, and when asked how he accounted for them, he said be had bought some of the prisoner Hales and some he bought at different auctions, but he could not say when or where. Amongst those found on Brall's premises were a number of which no one but he (the prosecutor) bad the plate. end he was quite sure he had not sold them to Hales. He had seen a number of his prints lately, which be was selling at U. Is., in shop windows, marked 4s. and Si. Wm. Maguire, errand boy to Mr. Marks, said the prisoner Hales had on several occasions latterly been to the shop with his horse and cart, and had several times sent htm out of the shop for something, sometimes to get a ball of string, at others to go and tell his master that he (Hales) wasthere. Anthony Wilson Monger, detective, who went to the prisoner Brall's house vnth Mr. Marks, corroborated that gentleman's statement, and Mr. Lewis asked for a remand in order that the prosecu• tor might examine the prints. The prisoner was remanded. better in May than April, but recognises the principle I alluded to hi my last letter, as regards how they should meet their seniors over different distances ; consequently, Pounce (for example), who has lost in both the City and Suburban and Metropolitan, has the greater right to meet Lady Trespass (Sst Sib in each event), and many others si milarly weighted, on the mile and a quarter than two miles and a quarter. The only conclusion I can draw at present from the above analysis is that Precise, Sycophant, or Vancouver, and King of Kent, will become great cards in the game played at Choder, supposing they are allowed to represent their several parties ; if not, we must anticipate even greater danger from their stable companions, and it looks very like the race lying between the three "parties" above men tioned, the King of Kent's stable being the most dangerous, when possessing such a pair as Manut-Arms and Chre Arnie.—l ant, Kc., METEOR. SPORTING• THE SPRING HANDICAPS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS. Slll,—The four principal handicaps decided in the springing rendered complete by the publication of the ac ceptances for the Northamptonshire Stakes ; and their com pilers have been so far complimented that they cannot com plain, although there is a considerable falling off apparent in the Chester Cup, when only 45 per cent. of the number entered are left in, the average for the past seven years being nearly 60 per taut. Still as a handicap it is more successful than the Northamptonshire event, only 47 (not 40 per cent.) accepting out of 124 operated upon by Mr. Johnson ; and the falling off must be attributed in a great measure to the enhanced popularity of the City and Suburban Handicap, for which 65 pr Gent., by far the largest entry it ever before obtained , say aye "—a result that must be peculierly gratifying to the "Admiral," who never had fair play at Epsom Spring until last year, owing to the two heeding* being decided on one day. Thanks to the change the Metropolitan is as suming a position it so richly merits, and it is not far behind the Cheater Cup, as out of 107 entries, 70 per cent. accept, and we shall douldless have speculators coming out upon it in something like their old " form." The weeding out of so many candidates entered in the four events has of course removed many cases of discrepancy ; but one or two of the most glaring still remain, even among the old horses, the following ooniprking those instances where the discrepan cies among them amount to a matter of 41b. or more : North. City. Met. C. Cup. et lb st lh st lb st lb Ambush, & yre Ibuleffreela Mei 7 U 6 0 Lamm, 4 tie Edmund Ka" 6 yrs first Lisa 4 8 0 7 2 11164.4 a, 4 yrs — 7 11 7 4 ladosirlsos. 4yn 7 4 6lt 6 4 Mao-at-Am% 6 yrs 7 8 7 0 Precise, 4 yes — 7 2 6 5 Rattlebase, 4 yrs 8 0 71 3 8 0 Satellite, 6 yes ilehlam, 5 yrs 8 8 8 0 South Australia. 4 yes — 7 2 6 6 Umpire. 4 yes — 8 8 7 8 Weatherboued, 4 yea — 8 6 7 10 It must be born. In mind the Northamptonshire and Metro- I politan scales have each been raised 41b, and the City and Suburban 21b, which w il l render their minimum weights so much higher than that of the Chester Cup ; nevertheless, Bridegroom, Edmund Kean, Industrious, Precise, Satellite, South Australian, and Umpire look bound to prefer the Chester Cup tourney, and if they appear in either of the others we cannot but presume that they will not be " wanted" on the Rhoodee. Ambush, First Lord, Fitz-Avon, and Weetherbound, are not 40 much worse treated in the City and Suburban than elsewhere as appears on piper, for they are all well known to prefer a short course to a long one ; but it certainly appears at first sight Mr. Top ham is more lenient with the old horses than his rivals, as Rattlebone supplies the only instance of one of them accepting when asked to carry so much as 41b more at Cheater than at Northampton or Epsom. However, to negative this idea, there is the remarkable fact of the thilee year-okh being treated more leniently by Mr. Topham in all Wee instances Aims a discrepancy occurs with the jure nties, of which the meat glaring are the following st lb st lb st lb at lb Helium, 3 yes Black Sultan, 3 yrs Ring of Kent, S yrs 7 0 7 2 6 6 Rapture, 3MI Sycophant, 3 yes % aneourer, 3 yrs Thus Bridegroom is not much better off at Cheater, com pared with Northampton, than Vancouver, for although the old hone concedes slb more in one case than the other, he is more likely to beat a 3-yr-old at even weights on the Ind of April than the 9th of May, owing to the great im provement that must take place in a young horse duriog that Interval in the spring of the year. From this it will be seen that, supposing &ahem, King of Kent, Rapture, Sycophant, and Vancouver to be backed in earnest for the Chester Cup, all the old horses above mentioned would be almost tempted to direct their attention to the other events, the present Chester favourite, Man-at-Anne, being much more likely to wit the Northamptonshire Stakes if his owner would only run him for it—which is not probable, however. In fact, the idea generally entertained that Mr. Topham has "favoured" the older horses particularly, ham a very rotten foundation now the acceptances for the four handicaps are put together; soil there is only one con clusion to be arrived at—that he has, when disagreeing with his contemporaries, erred in being too lenient with horses of all ages, supposing lie is in error. I o addition to the one-and-twenty discrepancies above mentioned, which could be easily detected by the tyro, there are as many among the 3-yr-olds that appear to Imes an equal chance in all the events they accept for ; but as regards the terms on which they meet the old horses, the following should all prefer the City and Suburban or Chester Cup : st lb et lb st lb st lb Atropia, 8 pars — 6 2 0 2 Bendel& 3 pas 6 2 II I 6 $ Bravo, tyre =,; a r ria. 3 pm— -611 6 7 6 11 Dads* 3ps 7 9 6 - 6 Baum low Sys — 1 e 13 Jacinths, II yes Jingling JeMM.

The week's import is 88,273 balm WOOL ANT) WORSTED.—BIIADVORD, FEB. 7.—The dulness in the wool trade continues, spinners buying only to meet immediate requirements. What transactions are effected are in favour of the buyer, but a considerable degree of firmness exists considering the limited business doing. In nods and shorts so very few are making that they are taken into consumption as produced, at full price, The dulness in the export trade is quite unprecedented, there being literally no trade doing- There is no improve ment in the home consumption. The quantity of idle ma chinery and frames running short time exceeth that which existed at the time of the panic in the spring of laf.d. Prices of yarns do not vary much, as no one is producing into stock. There is an improved inquiry for pieces, but the ales effected are only to a moderate extent. In some quarters this symptom of life is attributed to the fact of a few small orders being issued for fancy rods to assort the stocks left over last awing. The opinion, how ever, appears to be gaining ground that we have seen the wont, and that any increase in the price of the raw mate rial must be followed by higher prices for goods. Manufac turers are acting with great caution, and the number of looms standing is rather on the increase. Letters from in telligent writers in France state that the Roubaix manu facturers are already preparing for "coming events," and have considerably reduced their prices. Parties iu England must not be too sanguine in their expectations, and need to exercise great caution io the selection of goods intended to be introduced into France, as the French manufac turen are fully alive to the necessity of working at low prices in order to meet the competition of the Bradford houses, which threatens tobe very keen. CORN.—BIRMINGHAM, Frs. 7.—At Gloucester and Wm , crater markets, on the 2nd, there was a limited quantity of English wheat, and lower prices were not submitted to for any description. Barley, except the finest quality, was la. to Be. per quarter cheaper. Oats gave 'vay 6d. per quarter. Baths and peas in limited request, but unaltered in value. During the prawnt week the sales in wheat re ported are at previous currency. Barley only finds buyers in retail. Beans firm. Little doing in peas. At Wolver hampton, the supply of English wheat was short, but very large of foreign ; trade slow but no kind cheaper. At this day's market there was a short supply of English wheat, which sold readily at fully the currency of this day gen night. Barley quiet. Oats dull. Beans maintained their value. Peas neglected. Drvrxra, FEB. 7.—The very best wheats sold as well as they did last week • but all inferior kinds, and by far the greater part was inferior , ' were very unsaleable. The hest barley also was quite as dear, or rather dearer than last week, and one lot reached 475. per qr.; 46e. was, however, with that exception, the top price. Wheat, best, 58.. to 66e.; middling, 455. to 514.; inferior, Ms. to 45a Barley, 30a. to 46e. Oats, Ric to *ie. Beans, 441 a. to 505. Peas, 42a. to 46a.

Oats and oatmeal moved off slowly at handy the late cur. rency. Beats and Indian corn ruled steady. NEWARK, Era. 6.—At to-day's market there was a smaller supply of wheat. All good samples sold readily at Is. per qr. advance. There was more demand for barley, which brought fully last week's prices. Oats for semi were inquired after. Beaus without change.

NEWBURY, FEB. 7.—We had this day a large supply of wheat, the greater part being left from last week's mar ket ; the trade for all descriptions was firmer, and in some instances one shilling per qr. more money was realised for good samples. A moderate quantity of barley on oiler is the trade for which no alteration occurred. Oats, beans, and peas dull, with a downward tendency. UXBRIDGE, FEB. 7.—There is an average supply of all kinds of gra in at to-day's market.
