EXHIBITION of 1862. Although the Great Exhibition Building, now In course of erection, covers nearly 25 acres of ground, yet there remains a very large number of intending Exhibitors who have been necessarily excluded by the want of space. This has caused great disappointitent, both at home and abroad, to many who had made preparations for the exposition of their pro ductions. To meet this want, and at the same time to give facilities for the sale of the goods which will be collected from all parts of the world, a Company has been formed, the Capital of which is subscribed, for the purpose of erecting on a spot Closely contiguous to the Great Exhibition Building . , an Ornamental Structure designed by Sir JOSEPII PA XTON, where the Exhibitors will have the advantage of a Building in every respect applicable for a favourable display of their goods, and with the privilege of selling the same to the vast concourse of visitors who will inevitably be attracted to Lon don during the present year. The Building will be called "The International Supple mentary Exhibition," and will cover about three acres of around. The who'e of the space for exhihition will be upon the ground floor, and upon the walls, there being no galleries, and such is the perfection of the design, that all parts will be equally well lighted. A provisional contract has been entered into with an emi nent contractor for the erection of the Building, which is to be completed, under a heavy penalty, en or before the 15th day of May next The charges will be 'or floor space ' 12s. per square foot. 'or wall space 6s. ,f t 1 Persons desirous of obtaining space must apply at the Offices of the Company, having previously paid to the credit of the Trustees, at the City Bank, Threadneedle-street, or at the Agra Bank, 27, Cannon-street, the amount payable upon the space applied for, which will be allotted according to the priority of application. The names of the Trustees are— SirROBERT WALTER CARDEN, Alderman, Chair man of the City Bank. )4r. Alderman FINN'S, Director of the Agra Bank. WILLIAM JACKSON, Esq., M.P. If from any cause the Building should not be completed, or if the space applied for should not be allotted, the amount of the deposit-money will be returned in full.

The Italian Government has granted to this Company the definitive Concession for the Railway from Turin to Savona, with a branch to Acqui, by means of which branch the most direct access will be secured to the Mediterranean from the whole system of Italian Railways ; whilst the sea-coast line now being constructed from Nice to Genoa will complete the Connexion with all the Railways of France. The leading features of the Concession are :- 1. The use of the Government line from Turin to Car magnola;l6 miles, subject only to a toll of 10 per cent. of the gross receipts. 2. A Government Subvention, or ffee gift, of 10,000.000 f. (£400,000). 3. A Communal Subvention of 2,000,0001. (£80,000). 4. A Government guarantee of a minimum receipt of £1,600 per mile per annum on the branch to Acqui. The distance from Turin to Savona 15....00 miles. The length of the branch line to Acqui...3o „ Total 120 miles. Responsible contractors, from whom substantial guarantees will be taken, have engaged to execute the whole work, in chiding purchase of land, stations, rolling stock, and all in cidental expenses, together with payment of Interest at 6 per cent. on the capital during construction, for the sum of £2,408,000, being at the rate of £20,000 per mile over the entire distance ; but as the subventions of £480,000 will come in aid of this amount,'the real cost of the Railway to the share holders is virtually reduced to £16,000 per mile. The population adjacent to the, line amounts to 250 inhabi tants per kilometre, whilst the population of the seven Southern Departments traversed by the great line from Paris to the Mediterranean does not exceed 80 inhabitants per kilometre. The gross annual receipts on the Italian State Railways exceed £2,500 per mile per annum. The concurrent testi- , mony of the Government Commissions and the Chamber of Commerce of Savona shows that a traffic at the rate of £2,300 per mile may be confidently reckoned on this line from the commencement, and that the gross revenue may be expected rapidly to rise to £2,800 per mile per annum. Assuming a traffic of £2,300 per mile only, the gross annual receipts on 120 miles will be £276,000 ; from which deduct Working Expenses at 45 per cent. (which is above the Govern ment average) on 101 miles constructed by the Company, £167,640 ; Toll to the Government on 16 miles, £3,700 ; Rent of Station at Turin, £6OO • Total, £111,940. Leaving a net profit of £164,060. Out of this amount there will be required for the payment of interest on the obligations at 6 per cent., £67,680 ; Sinking Fund for repayment of ditto, £5,640 ; Total, £73,320. Leaving £90,740 profit for the shareholders, equiva lent to a dividend of more than 10 per cent. During the construction of the line, interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be paid half-yearly on all instal ment from the date of the respective payments. One-half of the Share Capital having been taken in Italy, the remaining half, viz., 20,000 Shares, is now offered to the English Public. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be obtained on application to the London Directors at the Com pany's Offices, or to Mr. Lewis 11. Haslewood, 7, Lothbury, London.

The Tuscarora, which anchored off Yarmouth when she left our waters lasi intik, remained there till Saturday, when she steanied out through the Needles, and two or three vessels which arrived at this port reported passing her iunder full steam. She has since returned again, and is said to be now in Cowes roads. The. Nashville has at last made a move, and steamed out of dock at 5 o'clock this afternoon, but it is believed she will bring`up ii .the river. How ever, every movement of the two vesselsis shrouded in mystery, each of them very naturally wishing to keep the other uninformed of its intentiona. ; , j _ It is reported that another larp;.Federalf.rigate, the Brooklyn, is cruising off thelele of Wight, but whether this is true or not cannotlie:ascertained. The Nashville has got away to Elea. The Despatch steamer, arrived from Jorsey, reports that she saw the Nashville pass the Tuscarora in the Solent, off Cowes. The latter had her guns run out and steam up, and her Majesty's frigate Shannon waa lying close by, also with her guns out and steam up, to prevent the Tuscarora moving, and to enforce the 24 hours' law, the Nashville having the priority of start. is steamer 4ed at Cowes from The Hammomi New York. She passe d thehville two milesaties outside the Needles, and the Tuscarora was still at Cowes when the small steamer left the Hammonia for this port. landed a battery of the 100-pounder improved Armstrong guns, together with a supply of the Armstrong shot and shell, The 100-pounders are intended for the land defences.

Richards, four sergeants, four corporals, one drummer, and 194 privates ; and 20 privates were ordered to join headquarters, Woolwich, from Deptford, for the purpose of commencing the preliminary course of rifle drill under Capt. Sather, about to recommence for the season. The members of the Select Committee of Wool wich Arsenal yesterday decided on the expediency of carrying out the proof of Sir W. Armstiong's huge 300-pounder gun at Shoeburyness, instead of at Woolwich, as formerly intended.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

Her Majesty's frigate, Shannon, has been an chored in Cowes Roadstead since the 25th ult. watching the movements of the two steamers—the Tuscarora being in Yarmouth Roads, and the Nash ville at Southampton. About twe o'clock p.m. to-day the Tuscarora steamed up from the west ward into the roads, and when off the mouth of the harbour, and between the Shannon and Cowes Castle she came to, and sent on shore for 40 tons of coals. About 5 o'clock the Nashville steamed down from Southampton, and proceeded for the Needles ; as she passed a Government steamer ran along side the Shannon, and from her to the T uscarora , w here she remained some time , durin g which the Shannon got up her steam and her anchor, and took up her station just to the westward of the Tuscarora, and there remains. TILE NAV.y, Kuper, C. 8., is, we Rear - A d m i ra l Augustus L. understand, likely to succeed Rear-Admiral Sir James Hope, K.C.8., as Commander-in-Chief on the East India and China station. Yesterday a party of 60 additional shipwrights, including a portion of the hands removed from the R a ttlesnake, 21, screw co rvette, completed, and the Pylades, 21, screw, und er repair in the fourth dock at Chatham, were placed on the iron-cased steam frigate Royal Oak, building under No. 7 shed, in order to expedite the construction of that vessel, which it is intended sh all be completed and ready for launching by the fi rst s p rin g tide in the month of September next. A number of the s hip wr i g ht s now employed on the iron frigate Defence, 18, v?ill be attached to the Royal Oak on their leaving that ship during. the present week. The number of hands now employed on the Royal Oak is nearly 400, including apprentices and labourers. By di rection of the Admiralty a powerful travelling crane is in course of erection at the side shed adjoining that under which the frigate is building, in order to facilitate the removal of the heavy beams and timbers used in her construction. The erection of the traveller has been placed in the hands of a Lon- don firm, the iron tramways on which the crane will work having been already fixed. Considezing the great weights which the traveller will be required to lift, it is to be hoped that care will be taken to have the supports thoroughly tested before the work is completed and handed over to the Admiralty, the opinion of practical men being that greater strength ought to have been secured. Although the elnstruction of the iron ship Achilles, 50, 6,079 tons, 1,260 horse power, build ing at Chatham, has been seriously retarded, owing to the difficulty experienced by the Admiralty in procuring iron of the quality required, considerable progress has been made in the work, and already about one-half of her massive ribs, answering to the timbers in an ordinary vessel, have been forged and successfully fixed in their place without accident. The difficulty experienced by the Admiralty in obtaining adequate supplies of iron is still felt in as great force as ever, and, instead of the Achilles being completed within two years from the time in which she was commenced, as was originally expected, at least treble that period will elapse be fore she will even be afloat, if she continues to pro- gress only at her present rate. There are not more than about 100 workmen engaged on her, including those in the factory department, and yet it was estimated that at least 1,000 hands would be con stantly required to complete her in the prescribed period of two years. The chief difficulty appears to be in obtaining adequate supplies of plate iron, the establishment being overstocked with angle iron. Negotiations are, however, now pending with seve ral eminent firms, and it is believed that in a very short time sufficient supplies of first-class iron will be sent in to the dockyard. During yesterday and Saturday a number of the massive armour-plates were landed at the dockyard, although these will not be required to be used for several months to come. Each plate weighs slightly over four tons, is about 15 feet in length by three feet in width, and of an uniform thickness of 41 inches. The whole are manufactured of rolled iron, at the Park gate Ironworks, Yorkshire, where powerful ma chinery has been erected for the purpose. According to present arrangement, the officers and crew of the iron frigate Defence, who are at present accommodated on board the Gloucester, re ceiving-hulk, in this harbour, will be turned over to their own vessel on Saturday next, by which time it is expected that she will be fully ready for sea. The Defence is to leave her moorings off Folly Point on Monday next, and proceed to the Nore, where she will remain for the purpose of having her compasses adjusted. Yesterday a party of shipwrights were despatched from Chatham dockyard to Shoeburyness, to be em- ployed in erecting a target faced with iron armour plates fastened together without bolting, on the principle recommended by Mr. Scott Russell. The armour plates, which are of the same thickness as those for the Achilles and Royal Oak, have been prepared at Chatham Dockyard, where the target has been put together, the plates being of different sizes, with the edges prepared according to Mr. Russell's directions. The experiments with the elongated Armstrong shot upon this target, and their effect upon the iron plates, are looked for ward to with some interest, as, should the Admiralty decide on adopting the plan recom mended by Mr. Scott Russell, the whole of the armour-plates for the iron ships building will require to be altered. The Dove, Admiralty transport, shipped the remainder of the plates and the scaffold ing for the target yesterday afternoon, and was to sail for Shoeburyness last ni g ht. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham directing the iron screw frigates Resistance, 18, and Defence, 18, to be fitted with the newly-invented engine-room telegraphs for conveying orders from the captain to the engineers: The telegraph for the Resistance is to be fitted by Messrs. Allen and Co., and that for the Defence by Messrs. Hornsey: The same description of telegraph is to be fitted on board the Constance, 51; the Aurora, 51; the Octavia, 51; and the Arethnsa, 51, screw frigates. Yesterday the War Department transport Henry went alongside the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, and THE _REINFORCEMENTS FOR CANADA. (From the arrevondent of the Daily A r e We BOSTON, JAN. 10. The voyage across the Atlantic in the Cunard steamer Canada was made with the rapidity and comfort for which all the vessels of that line are famous ; but starting as she did on the 29th ult., before the news of the reply to Lord Lyons' ultima tum had reached England, an anxious feeling per vaded her passengers, consisting principally of offi cers on leave from the different regiments stationed in North America, who, in consequence of the unsettled state of affairs, had been ordered to return to their respective quarters. Besides these officers Major M'Crea's battery of garrison artillery and the sth (Captain Gosset's) company of Royal Engineers were embarked at Liverpool for Halifax, en route to Bermuda, which island, it was said, was destined to play the same part in the forthcoming American war that Malta had assumed during the Crimean campaign. Several army staff assistant surgeons, and about a dozen civilians (English and American), completed the number of passengers who, after a rough, but (thanks to the courtesy and kindness of the commander, and the excellent arrangements made for their comfort) far from disagreeable passage, steamed into the beautiful harbour of Halifax at 9 a.m. on the morning of the 9th instant. All were much delighted to hear that the causes of dispute between the two countries had been removed by the surrender of the Southern Commissioners ; and, peace being happily secure, almost every one on board whose duty did not compel him to remain in Halifax determined on proceeding by the Canada to Boston, in preference to attempting the overland journey across New Brunswick, of the severity, nct to say danger, of which route we heard strong reports. It was hinted that even the journey through Boston might be at tended with its desagrements, as it was supposed that a bitter feeling to the English existed to a very great extent, and that an American mob might be troublesome, if not insulting. Choosing the lesser of two evils, it was, however, resolved to continue our voyage to the capital of Massachusetts. Before leaving Halifax I had an opportunity of inspecting the fine steamer Persia, the only vessel sent from England with troops that succeeded in safely land ing them at Riviere du Loup. Her arrangements are magnificent, and entitle her to be considered the finest transport ever fitted for the conveyance of soldiers. Halifax was alive with troops, and its magnificent harbour was filled with the vessels which had brought them from the mother-country. Ashore we found the Grenadier Guards, the 2d battalion of the 16th, part of the Ist battalion of the same regiment, the 63d, and numerous detachments of Artillery, Engineers, and Military Trains, while alongside the wharves, or moored in the stream, the Persia, Adriatic, Magdalena, Melbourne, and others of the finest ships of our merchant navy. After a delay of only four hours, during which time three hundred men with their baggage and an immense quantity of government stores were disembarked, the Canada continued her voyage to Boston where she arrived a little after midnight on the 9th. On landing the next morning, the English passengers were no less delighted than surprised to find that the sinister anticipations which we had entertained of annoyance from the mob were so far from being realised, that we were received with the utmost politeness and courtesy. The whole of the baggage was permitted to pass through the Custom-house without examination, and in no single instance was a passport demanded, while, accustomed as I am to the attention and courtesy which a stranger usually receives in an American city, I was most agreeably astonished, so soon after the surrender of the Commissioners, and in the very place of their late imprisonment, to be welcomed with a friendliness and warmth which left nothing to be desired. While here the news arrived that Mr. Seward had telegraphed to offer a passage for our troops through the State of Maine. BUFFALO, N.Y., JAN. 11. I arrived here yesterday, after a twenty hours' journey, from Boston, made comfortable by the very excellent sleeping cars provided by the New York Central Railway Company. The conversa tion of the passengers and their remarks on the topic of the day confirmed the opinion which I had formed of Boston, that a great reaction had set in in favour of England. It is true that several of the journals continue to insert rabid abuse of the old country and impotent swagger of a future revenge; but by this time, I fancy, we are quite alive to the difference between the real senti ments of the American people and the pretended expression of them in the newspapers. The feeling seems pretty universal that a war, had it occurred, would have been wholly due to the diatribes of the London Times and the New York Herald, and that it is only to be expected that these papers and their followers should let themselves down easily. A proof as strong as one could desire of the disfa vour with which any real abuse of England would be received was afforded me here. Col. Mulligan, who modestly advertised himself as " the hero of Lexington," gave a lecture on the events of that renowed siege, and though the usual amount of bombast was talked about the Stars and Stripes and the Irish Harp, no allusion to the Saxon persecution of his beloved country occurred during the whole of a two hours' discourse. The hero in question must, I fancy, be a near relation of the chief of his sept immortalised, by Thackeray, the eloquence of the great Mulligan having been almost equalled by his military namesake. The criticisms on his lecture by the American portion of his audience were deprecatory and sarcastic. " The picture is wonderfully fine," said one man," but too national. It is all plastered over with the brightest emerald green." " Well," said the person whom lie addressed, " the lecture no doubt fulfils its :object" —(I should have mentioned that money was taken at the doors)—" but I am not sorry that the only • PRICE. .......4d. 3 Ir.

Concerning the latter, we have his own testimony to his bravery ; but of the former we have many witnesses of his enter prising advance on Washington from Bull's Run." By the kindness of General Scroggs, commanding at Buffalo, I was permitted to ♦isit the camp, which is, however, merely a depot for recruits. The huts, which much resemble those at Shorileliff, are placed in rear of a battery overlooking the river, and called here the Fort (par excellence). 'ihe men seemed fine, well-made, active young fellows, with very little admixture of the Irish or German element. They were servicably equipped in uniform not unlike that of the Sardinian army. Recruiting, the general told me, was at a standstill, the cadres of all the regiments in the State of New York being now complete. I attended service in the episcopal church, where the preacher gave a regular old fashioned high-church sermon ' (as high-church sermons were given 25 years ago), which did not, however, contain any political allusion. , q 1 7,7, ' '71;• T r" - . -. te_i • (" N,A . - 4 & AR • .., , , 4 1444, , - ''' N' , Iv ' . %,- ~,i , ,,,„,.......t . con • Atte ,-.=e, A ii. „, \ Air ~ •,-- .

The following is an extract from the journal of an officer of the 16th Regiment : " January 3. " My last to you from on board ship was dated Thursday, the 26th of December, when we had commenced to disembark the men at Bic. We were only able to get three companies on shore on that day, when darkness set in and put an end to our operation for the day. We intended to resume the work on the following morning at 4 o'clock, but a strong northerly wind, with heavy snowstorm, set in during the night, and it was pitch dark until we had regular daylight at 8 o'clock. Even then we could only see a few yards around us, owing to the thick, blinding snow ; however, we set to work with a will, and at 11 o'clock I got into a boat with the last group of the right wing, including two subalterns with the colours, and we pulled ashore a distance of two miles, a strong head wind against us, with a rough sea, the snow beating in our faces bitterly cold, and threading our way cautiously hrough immense masses of ice and frozen snow. " We landed with some difficulty at a most deso ,ate-looking spot, every inch of ground and the woods of stunted pine and larch covered with snow, the village of Bic lying about a mile inland. It was amusing to see the way in which the men stumbled and staggered along with their great heavy boots and under their heavy burdens, every man having, in addition to his pack, a blanket to carry. On ar. riving at Bic I found Colonel P-, who had gone on shore the day before with the first batch of men, busy organising relays of carioles to convey officers and men to their destination. A cariole is a sort of open sleigh, drawn by one horse, and holding two men and the driver. The regular sleigh is more com- ortable and higher from the ground. I was immedi• ately put in charge of a party, and brought up the rear of a string of carioles. G— very kindly lent me a buffalo robe, this, with the fur coat, which I found most useful, keeping me as warm as a toast. We started at 12 ; weather fine and clear, though cold enough in all conscience ; the village of Les Trois Pistoles, about 30 miles distant, our destination for the day. The driving was most reckless —a very loose rein and up hill and down hill at a most furi ous rate, at the risk of an upset every moment. I had L— in the cariole with me, and we enjoyed it amazingly, thinking it capital fun. The jolting, however, when we passed over a succession of deep ruts, which were frequent along the road, was some- thing frightful, nearly pitching us out of the convey- ante. There was plenty of upsets, but L-- and I escaped without one. The scenery along our route was wild and desolate. The villages looked very picturesque,the houses built entirely of wood, a good deal of taste being displayed in the construction of some of them, every door and window carefully closed to exclade the cold, the inmates—French habitans— peering curiously at us through the frosted panes as we passed, not a soul to be seen at work outside, ex cept an occasional habitant clearing away the snow where it had drifted to a great depth on the road. Twilight is of short duration here, and as the sun disappeared below the horizon darkness suddenly set in. It became intensely cold, the wind having gra dually increased until it blew a furious gale from the north. This was the sure forerunner of snowstorms, and in a very short time we came in for them with a vengeance. We soon found it impossible to preserve the compact order in which we had started; the darkness, the blinding snow, and the intense cold rendered all our efforts utterly useless. We soon became separated from each other, and each cariole had to look out, for itself. Every now and then L-- and I came upon a cariole which had upset in the snow, the unfortunate occupants stumbling and fumbling about in the drift ; then another with a broken shaft, and unable to proceed in consequence. We stopped several times to render assistance, which detained us so long on the road that we were obliged at last to pull up at a village called St. Simon's, nine miles from our destination. Here we found a lot of carioles col lected together, unable to proceed any further. We managed to get a very comfortable billet at the Cures, who treated us most hospitably; four officers and all the sick were at the same billet. We had some difficulty with our broken French in making the Cure understand how much we appreciated his kindness. I enjoyed my bed here most thoroughly, though the night was the coldest I had ever expe rienced. There were no regular sheets to the bed, but soft blankets above a sort of soft woollen sheet under me, everything beautifully clean. The driver of our cariole was a brother of the Cure. The next morning, after a comfortable breakfast of cold beef an d home-baked bread, good butter, and green tea, we resumed our journey at half-past 7, with the same cariolo and horse. We had 36 miles before us.to Riviere-du-Loup. It was awfully cold, con siderably below zero ; however, we got through our journey, and arrived without any misadventure at Riviere-du-Loup just as darkness set in. Here we came upon a terminus of the Grand Trunk Railway, the point of junction being at Richmond, between Quebec and Montreal. On reaching the station we found the greater part of the companies had arrived, though detached parties were still coming in. All was bustle and confusion, officers collecting their men, men running about in search of their com panies, those who had arrived cooking their rations, the railway authorities preparing the carriages for the reception of the troops. We were to be con veyed by special train, and all in the dark. By 8 o'clock we got all the men, including half a com pany of Engineers, detachment of Commissariat the Army Hospital corps, safely stowe d away in carriages, and started on our journey to Montreal. All the officers, 20 in number, were in one large carriage warmed by a stove in o the centre. When near the stove I felt as if I shuld be scorched to a cinder—when any distance from it frozen to an icicle. We were 1 8 hours performing this journ e y, caused by eb including a delay of a n hour had to . telegrap th h to reak the in g of a wheel, w hen we nearest station for another engine. We reached Montreal —pass i ng through that wonderful struc ture, the Victoria -bridge—at 2 o'clock on Sunday. We found the Commander of the Forces—the hero of Kars—and a number of Staff officers, with an immense concourse of people, waiting to receive us at the station. 'We had quite a triumphal entry into the town. On our way through to the bar racks destined for us we were repeatedly and most enthusiastically cheered by the crowds collected in the streets. Our men had a travel-stained, toil worn look, with grim black visages, none of us having shaved since we left England; but they stepped out with good heart, glad, no doubt, to arrive at the end of their fatiguing journe y. Moleson' College was being prepared as a temr rary barrack for our regiment ; the men slept on. straw on the floors, and workmen were employed 2~~~~ in fitting up the rooms comfortably for theib; we have no mess yet, and even if we had a messhou,:e it would be of no use to us, as all the heavy bag gage, including mess property, is at Halifax. The Colonel, with the remainder of the regiment, ar rived on Monday afternoon ; he brought our light baggage with him, lam glad to say. They had desperate work landing it at Bic, on Saturday evening, together with some ammunition, from on board the Persia. Six of the ship's boats were smashed, and twenty of the crew left on the shore, unable to get back to the ship, which left early next morning for Halifax, the captain of the Persia fearing his ship would be frozen in. That very day, I believe, a scheoner got entangled in the ice, and was literally crushed to atoms, so that not a vestige of her remained. The authorities speak of pushing us up towards the frontier at the end of this month. I think this a glorious climate. The cold is intense, but it is a dry healthy cold. Some of the officers and men have been frost bitten, and one man will, I fear, lose his hand. When there is any wind, any one exposed to it is liable to be frostbitten." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'-YESTERDAY. Great vitality w as ex hibit e d at the Corner this afternoon by an increased attendance of subscribers, but, as will be Fathered from our return, the business transacted did not in any way come up to the anticipations created by the ap pearance of the room and th e th ronge d s tate of its approaches , The Liverpool Steeplechase, since the publication of the ' weights, appears to occupy the greater part of the attention of the bookmakers. The Dane was elected as first favourite prior to the imposts being made public, and, as will be seen, still retains his pride of place. This afternoon, at the opening of the rooms, he was in great force, 9 to 1 being readily accepted; at the close 100 to 12 could with difficulty be obtained ;he left off with great buoyancy. Brunette and Thomastown were supported with some spirit at 100 to 6 h each, the latter, especially, having a host of friends, who eagerly accepted his opening price, 20 to 1, and stood to their colours, until the layers became careful, and at last the odds quoted below were not to be obtained. Master Begot, notwithstanding his inglorious defeat last year, found friends at 20 to 1, and old Romeo at five points more. THE Two TnousAND GIIINEAS.—Both for this impor tant engagement and the Derby Sir R. Bulkeley's colt was much fancied. For the former 100 to 30 was readily ac cepted and laid to money, but we fancy the backers at the close tired out the layers, and we q uestion whether anything over 3 to 1 could have been obtained for money. The Marquis, nothing affected by the favour shown towards Old Calabar, opened at 7 to 1, at which price he was backed for £5O, and, after some minor invest ments, the highest price obtainable about the Melton repre sentative was 6 to 1, which was noted down to some two or three hundred pounds, but which was offered at the close, TIIE CHESTER CI:T.—In this event the never-fading Schism superseded Umpire in favour as little as 25 to 1, both in the city in the morning as also here, being readily accepted ; the same odds were taken about the Vest colt, t . o money. Zodiac and the former fav ourite Agag were nonn nally supported, and Chere Arnie and Satanolla at 50 to 1 each. THE DERBY.—Buckstone was exceedingly firm at hig quoted price, but, the lions of the afternoon appeared to be Old Calabar and Caterer ; the former was steadily supported at 9 to 1 to money, and the latter at 25 to 1, with every ap pearance of seeing a much shorter price. The Marquis was inquired after, and 14 to Ito a small amount taken. Tho Typee colt and Ensign were mentioned at 25 to 1 each, Vanguard at 40 to 1, and Sir J. Hawley's Argonaut found a supporter at 50 to 1; the only others from the outsid.e division that found favour wit h the s p eculative were Gan.. baldi and the Clarissa colt, the former at 66 to 1, the latter at 100 to 1.

The Dane was the only horse in force for the Grand National Steeple Chase, 9 to 1 we saw taken, but as there is a general impression that he will see a shorter price, few seemed disposed to meddle with him. There is something like a favourite for the Chester Cup ; after 300 to 10 was laid against Schism, 25 to 1 was taken to several small amounts. Some money was also put on the Vest colt, but the com mission seemed to stop at 30 to I.—Any advance upon 4 to 1 would have been taken about Old Calabar for the Two Thousand Guineas, and an offer was made to take 2,500 to 100 about the Typee colt for the Derby.—Closing prices GRAND :NATIONAL STEEPLECRAE. 9to 1 agst The Dane (taken) 20 to 1 agst Tippler (taken) 20 to 1 agst Tlmmastown (taken) CHESTER CUP. 25 to 1 agst Schism (taken and offered) 30 to 1 agst Vest colt (taken) 50 to 1 agst Chero Arnie (taken) DERBY.

RACE BETWEEN JOHN BRIGHTON (OF NOMVICII) nicri S AMUE L BARKER (OF BILLINOSOATE) FOR LBO AND CirAturroN's BELT.—The proposed match between these distinguished pedestrians took place yesterday, in the pre sence of a strong muster, on Mr. J. Roberts' enclosed ground. The event was originally appointed to come off Some four weeks since, but owing to the non-production of the four miles belt, which the backers of Brighton failed to deliver to Mr. Roberts on the day, Barker refused to run, and claimed forfeit, although he was afterwards induced to forego this and enter into arrangements for the pre sent meeting. The competitors had to make the cir cuit of the course sixteen times ; and when the usual came e p re paratory matters had been adjusted they freely the ly mar k —Brighton being the f avourite, his friends to offering 7 to 4.

Alth oug h th e second mile was admirably contested, yet the race presented no fea ture that calls for special comment. The lead was held by Barker ; but so well did his opponent run up, that on the finish of the second mile, which was run in ten minutes, six seconds, Brighton was not more than two yards in the iota. From the style the Norwich clipper was holding himself together, it was apparent he was running within his pace, while the gallant Sam, on the other hand, appeared doing all he knew to cut his man down. While performing the third mile, Barker held the front position until coming round the top bend of the course, in the twelfth lap, when Brighton, who had thus far waited, came to the front, and soon made a wide gap between them, The race was now over, for Barker fell further in the rear, and on the finish of the lap, pulled and resigned ; the three miles being run in 15 minutes and 12 seconds. Brighton had to run the last mile by himself, which he did at a good pace, the four miles being accomplished in 20 minutes, 25 seconds.
