The half-yearly meeting of the Grand Trunk R ailway Company of Canada is convened for the B th of April, " for the purpose of receiving a report from the directors, and for the transaction of the other business of the company." According to the Frankfort advices the MOSCOW -811101W:18k Railway preference shares, 5 per cent. guaranteed by the Russian Government, will be b rought out for subscription in that city by Sulz bach Brothers, on the Bth to the 12th inst. The hue, it is said, will be self-supporting, and is con aidered one of the best iu Russia. The shares were t aken in December last by Sulzbach Brothers, and a combination of Frankfort bankers, by whom a Portion has since been sold at a profit in Russia. T here may, it is added, be some further issues in t he course of the year, to connnect the Moscow- Smolensk line with IVarsaw, " and, with this ex ception, the Russian Government appear for the Pres.lnt not inclined to grant further concessions." General Schenck's Finance Bill, not being signed 13 3' President Johnson before retiring from office, has failed to become a law, by reason of Congress having adjourned before the expiration of the ten days allowed for Executive cinsileration. It appears that by Art. 1, Sec. 7, of the Constitution of the United States, it is provided that "If any Lill shall not be returned by the Presitnt within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress, by their adjournment, prevent its return, in which case it will not be a law." It will be Matter for great regret if the recent decision of the American Legislature, placing the redemption of the debt upon a gold basis, should not Le put upon record, with all the forms required, to ob viate the possibility of future cavil ; but, in any ' case, enough has already been done to bind the American nation irrevocably, even had we not the "Plicit declaration of its highest officer, the new President.

JonsoN, Money 924 -I Do. Account, April 8 LYCEUM THEATRE. It is with the greatest pleasure we record the triumphant success of Dr. Westland Marston's new and originaldrama, "Life for Life," which was pro duced on Saturday last at the Lyceum Theatre. Tho utmost gratification tha accomplished author of " the Patrician's Daughter" can feel at the lavish praise bestowed on his latest work has been well and honourably achieved ;- and we feel certain the wish will be general with the admirers of high dramatic talent that Dr. klare,ton will contribute more frequently than he has hitherto done to the stage. The talented author needs no recourse to " the French" for a plot, he has genius sufficient to invent one, and ability enough to work it out—a talent now of the utmost raretv —when .French or German dram.is are cut mil workedjup by many of oar suc2essful authors, and "new" plays manufactured out of the patchwork. But without occupying further space by way of exordium—oft times "extracted" at the British Museum—a practice by the way that seems to be growing so rapidly that it bads fair soon to oc cupy the place of dramatic criticism altogether, we pass at once to the plot of the new drama, which, briefly related, is as follows :—The scene is laid in the Highlan is, early in the fifteenth cen tury, where Oscar, brother of Murdoch, chi e f of the clan Mackane, falls in love with daughter of Angus, chief of the Clan Macronald. - The two clans have long entertained hostile feelings towards each other, aui frequent encounters be- tween the partisans result in consequence. Angus has been slain in one of these battles, and Kenelin, Murdoch's son, taken prismer in the fray. Al though she has sworn to avenge her father's death, Lilian, in a moment of mercy, protects the boy from the fury of the clansmen, and lie is ac cordingly allowed to remain a hostage with the Macrobald, first promising never to attempt to make himself or his whereabouts known to his father. Oscar, but just returned from a long sojourn in France, immediately upon his reunion to his clan, informs Murdock of his attachment to Lilian, and of their propose] union. A deadly quarrel now takes place between the brothers, and Murddah is deprived of the chieftainship of the clan. Murdoch, whose great hatted is borne to the Macronalds ou account of the supposed death of his son lienelin at their hands, determines to ac complish by stratag in what he failed to do by force, and prevent the marriage between Lilian and Oscar taking place. Disguised as a minstrel he gains en trance to the stronghold of the Macroualds, and being left alone with Lilian, is aboat gratify his revenge by killing her, when in her sapplications she informs him that his son lives. Reunited. to Kenelea, and learning from his lips that it was Lilian who protected him, he assents to the union of the clans and her marriage with Oscar. The play, which is brilliantly written from first to last, is, to all intents and purpos:s, a lady's piece, the principal character being that of Lilian, daughter of the dead chieftain, Angus Macronald, Alai on Miss Neilson devolved the important task of giving vitality to the poetic inspirations of Dr. Marston. By the performance Miss Neilson has completely surprised many who hitherto regarded her merely as an actress of ordinary talent, but her conception and pourtrayal of the character of Lilian gives her a clear and unquestioned right to take the position of the leading lady on the English stage. We know of no actress living who could have so finely performed the part. Her elocution was of the highest order, her acting was everything that the greatest admirer of true dramatic genius could desire. In the earlier scenes of the play her acting was remarkable for tenderness and feeling, whilst in the latter, where courage and determination are called for, it rose to absolute perfection, or at least as near perfection as it is possible to arrive. The applause she reeived throughout was genuine and immense , and we cordially congratulate Miss Neilson on the great triumph she has achieved. Next iu im portance to the part of Lilian was that of Mur doch, chief of the clan Mackane, which was con fided to the artistic care of 1(r. Herman Vezin ; and certainly here again no better actor at present graces the boards of the English stage. In the hands of so perfect an artiste the highest expectations might fairly be entertained, and although the character does not appear until the third act, yet there was sufficient opportunity tor Mr. Vezin t .. I, • finished specimens of high dramatic art for which he is so remarkable. None could see the old rugged Highland chief drooping at the supposed loss of his only child without feeling how true the actor was to nature; and then again when in formed by his brother of his intended marriage with the daughter of one of his bitterest foes, the acting of Mr. Vezin was of surpassing excellence ; in fact, the house "rose at him," and fairly re-echoed again and again with undiminished applause. Mr. Jordan gave a very excellent .rendering of the old clans man Roderick, and Miss Minnie Sydney secured high honours for her spirited acting of the part of the boy Kenelm Mackane. The house was crowded in every part by a most distinguished audience, and at the fall of the cur tain the author, Miss Neilson, Mr. Vezin, and Mr E. T. Smith bad to bow their thanks.

TRADE AND ELVANCE. The Boakd of Trade returns, after a tedious delay, have at length been issued. They are decidedly favourable, and shew that, notwithstanding the general complaint of the stagnant condition of trade during the past year, commerce has extended in a healthy and natural ratio. Annexed are the figures for the whole year. The declared value of our exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures during the year 1868 thus compares with 1866 and 1867: 1866, £188,917,536 ; 1867, £180,961,923 ; 1868, £179,463,644. The computed real value of the articles imported during 1868 and the two preceding years was :-1866, £238,773,192 ; 1867, £234,358,887; 1868, £249,616,302. Athough the exports, as stated above, shew a slight falling off in value as compared with 1867, there is, when we come to look at the quantities shipped, a decided increase in almost every important staple. Cotton goods have been freely dealt in ; and, although there is a falling off in the export of woollen and worsted cloths of nearly seven millions of yards, there is an increase in the shipments of worsted stuffs of upwards of twenty-four millions of yards. Very little importance can be attached to estimates or declared values. This is a measure that is ever fluctuating, as the prices of the themselves fluctuate. For inatnnee. in the ease of our exports of cotton goods, the total number of yards shipped during 1868 is returned at 2,966,706,542 as compared with 2,832,023,707; shewing an increase of upwards of 13) millions of yards. On the other hand, the values for the above shipments are returned at £50,128,760 and £53,128,163 respectively, shewing a decrease of three millions sterling. On this account very little reliance is to be placed upon computed or declared values, as they are very apt to mislead. We do not argue, however, that they are useless. Far from it. The returns for January slim their usefulness in a great degree, and afford us an explanation of what, up to this time, has been somewhat enigmatical. We always expect that towards the close of the year there will be a decided augmentation in our export trade. This year, however, the augmentation has been greater than usual, and the excess of shipments accounts for the pressure upon the money market which has been experienc.d for some time past, and for the rising value of money. r.lhe followirg is the comparison of the real value of our autumn imports for the last two years : 1867. 1868. September October 1'0,570,923 November December 25,841,830 Here, then, we have in every month a large increase in the value of the articles shipped, an increase that would speedily tell upon the money market. 1 quantities exported may not have increased in proportion to the excess in the values declared—in point of fact they have not done so, as prices of most articles of produce were on the advance towards the close of last year, but the amount of paper afloat would be greater in pro ! portion to the advance in the value of the articles them ' selves. That this has been the case is very evident. Mon , y is gradually becoming dearer and dearer, and an early advance in the Bank rate is considered imminent. Another point which suggests itself here is the fact that most persons expect that our imports would be the same, ornearly so, month by month, throughout the year. Nothing could be more improbable. Our imports are principally of vegetable origin, which necessarily depend upon seas, n for their ripening, and we must naturally expect that they will be heavy at certain portions of the year, while comparatively light at others. Again, many ports are closed against us at certain portions of the year, such as the Baltic and North American. In future, however, we venture to predict that the railway will play an important part in this matter, and will obviate the difficulties that we have had to contend with in the past. The only feature of the week in the financial world has been the introduction of the long-delayed Turkish Loan. There was great reason for this delay, as it is 'ery evident that the Turkish Government is getting more and more entangled in its financial arrangements. The loan is for a shoat period, being repayable in four instalments, extending to 1873 only.

BREAKING A Womlx's Aum.—Joseph Barton, of No. 110, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, butler, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following violent assault on a female named Annie Connor. The prosecutrix said that between ten and eleven the previous night she was iu Berkeley-street, when she met the prisoner, who spoke to her and walked a little way with her. While going along the prisoner lifted up her c'othes and then tried to make off. She followed him and took off his hat so as to detain him till a constable came, and he then struek her in the eye with his fist and across the ribs with his stick, and tore off her bonnet and broke her j.t chain. lle then went away, but she followed him, when he knocked her down six times, the last time break ing her arm. The prisoner said that ho never attempted to raise the prosecutrix's clothes. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutrix whether she ever saw the prisoner before, and she said that he was an entire stranger to her. In answer to the prisoner, the prosecutrix stated she never asked him for any money. Th 3 prisoner said that was not true, and that when he stooped to pick up his hat the prosecutrix tried to take his watch. The prosecutrix said she never had any intention of touching the prisoner's watch. The prisoner said he pushed the prosecutrix to get rid of her, but had no intention of injuring her. Alfred Cording, 41 0 IL, said that on going to Mount street, hearing cries of "Police," the prosecutrix charged the prisoner with breaking her arm, and some persons told him that the prisoner had knocked her down five or six times. The prisoner said the prosecutrix had folio wed and annoyed him, and that he pushed her. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutrix what she was, and she said she had been wet nurse to a member of the Earl of Derby's family in 1862. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that was some time ago. The prosecutrix admitted that since she had been lead ing an immoral life. The constable said, in answer to the magistrate, that he lead seen the prisoner about the streets of nights for _ Mr. Tyrwhitt said that whatever the prosecutrix was she was not to be beaten and have her arm broken. The prisoner would be remanded that some of :the witnesses might be found, but he would take a £3O bail. THAMES. THE ADVANTAGES OF A CHARACTER.—Dennis Driscoll, aged 24 years, a labourer, was charged with violently assaulting Parker, a police-constable, No. 69 R. The complainant was engaged in suppressing a disturb ance in Rateliff-highway, and he succeeded in dispersing a turbulent set of people of both sexes. He was leaving to resume his usual duty when the prisoner took up the half of a red brick lying in the road and threw it at the policeman, at the same time exclaiming, take that, you -. The half brick was intended for the con stable's head but it struck him on the left thigh and in jured him. The prisoner did not deny throwing the half brick at the constable, and said he did not intend to hurt him. lie hoped he should have the advantage of a character. Mr. Paget—Certainly, if it is a good one. The prisoner then called Inspector Alston, of the Thames Police, who said that the prisoner had been fined in that court for assaulting two females, and that another summons was taken out against him for an assault upon some persons at St. Bride's Wharf, Wapping. The pri soner absconded, was away a long time, and uttirnately the proceedings were abandoned. The Prisoner—You know I am h hard working man. Inspector Alston—And a hard drinking and hard swear ing one, too. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had the audacity to call upon an inspector of pdiee to give him a character, and he should have the advantage of that character. He sen tenced him to one months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Kuhe's orchestral concerts, which will form an epoch in the history of the musical world of Brighton , not only amongst musical people but in every portion of the commnity there, have resulted in a great and de served success.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS. 7 THIs EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. Earl GRANVILLI, annouued that he should propose that their lordships . should adjourn on Friday, the 19th, until the 6th of April. He also announced th a t th e negoti ations that had been going on for the annexation of the Hudson's Bay territory had not been completed. The Oriel College (Oxford) Bill was read a second time, on the motion of the Earl of Derby. EDUCATION. Earl RUSSELL then proceeded to call the attention of the house to the accounts of the sums vo t e d by Parlia ment for public education tu Rngland and Wales. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. Sir R. ANSTRUTHER gave notice that after Easter he should call attention to the patronage o f th e Church of Scotland, and ask whether it was desirable that any alte ration should be made. _ INSPECTOR OF FISHERIES. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND, in re ply to Mr. Stacpole, said the opinion of the law officers of I re land had been taken on the appointm en t o f M ajor Hayes and Mr. Brady, and that opinion was to the effect that the appointment was illegal. The l aw o ffi cers of the Crown in England had also been taken, and it co i nc id e d with that given in Ireland. The commission under which the officers sat had been revoked. SLAVE TRADE. Iv.tr, Sir W vr, , — irrfULADSTONE said the naval force on the West Coast of Africa for the suppression of the slave trade had been reduced, and it was under consideration whether it might not be altogether withdrawn. THE DUBLIN ELECTION. Mr. AYRTON, in reply to Mr. O'Reilly, said it was quite true that Arthur Guinnsss did visit the Post-office in Ireland previous to the election, during Post-3ffice hours, and canvass for votes. The Postmaster of the late Government expressed his displeasure at the proceed ing, and had issued a warrant to that effect. The hon. baronet also visited the Custom-house, but on that occ as i on h e was not accompanied by a superior official. He canvassed about four votes, but he was informed that no influence of any sort was brought to bear on any of the voters so canvassed. The report he had received from the Custom House, Dublin, was signed by the collector of customs in that county. THE DEANERY OF LICHFIELD. In reply to Mr. Bess, Mr. ACLAND said the value of the rectory of Teton hill was £l,BOO, and the proportionate salary of the deanery of Lichfield was £l,OOO, and when Canon Champneys was appointed to tlt, deanery he (publicly stated that if he was to receive the appointment of a rec tory along with the deanery ho should make ample provision for the parisioners of Tatenhill. The ques tion 'whether the deanery and rectory were combined by A . ct of Parliament was a legal question, the solution of which does not rest with the ecclesiastical Commissioners. The opinion of the law officers of the Crown had been taken, and it was to this effect that the dean could not accept the rectory, but the legal authorities were divided as to whether the income of the rectory reverted t the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. POLLING PLACES IN IRELAND. Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to Sir F. Heygate, said the subject of incressiug the number of polling places iu Ireland was under consideration. THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. White, said the re solution of the Rouse of Commons that the expenses of the diplomatic serv:ce should be submitted to the house in the form of an estimate had been considered by tho Go vernment. The text of a bill had been prepared on the subject, and the matter would be dealt with in the present session in accordance with the resolution, viz. ' by estimat e . THE FINANCIAL LORD OF THE TREASURY. Mr. SCLATER-BOOTII, on the motion for the house going into Committee ou the Navy Estimates, called the attention of the house to the appointment of a financial Lord of the Treasury, who was, as the lion. gentleman woo had received the appeintaieut to! c o ns titue ncy, his -y—(laughter)—the duties I the War Lord of the Treasu t being to supervise the whole of the expenses of o a hoar making whattlhloe IVar Department. lie sh ou ld like to was the real intention of the Government 11 alteration. [LEFT SITTING. I awI:TING NOTES. Without the Grand National Steeplechase the Spring Meeting at Liverpool would be a complete failure, as the day appears to have gone when the Spring Cup could draw together goodly fields of horses; and there is nothing of the Dundee, Lady Clifdeu, Big Ben, or Little Lady stamp to compete for the Tyro Stakes. 'lbis anni versary Knight of the Garter had an easy task to win the Spring Cup, as he had merely to vanquish the non-staying Honesty, the Attack gelding, The Breach, Ajax, and Vol tigern —the latter of whom, though h 3 looked remarkably fit, figured in the rear throughout. Knight of the Garter, who has grown into a magnificent horse, was net thoroughly wound up. Still, he won the above cup with nearly 141 b in hand, and must be handy for the Chester Cup, in which event his weight, with 51b penalty, is 9st 11b. The field for the Grand National was scarcely so strong as anticipat:d, for only twenty-two competitors went to post; and, with few exceptions, the horses that ran wore very moderate in quality, as must be admitted when the immediate attendants of the Colonel were Hall Court, Gardener, and Ah'ibiade. The race itself was a chapter of accidents from start to finish, and the "moving incidents by flood and field" more nume rous than usual. Only thirteen horses charged the water leap in front of the grand stand the first time round, as Fan, Pearl Diver, Guy of War wick, and others, through refusals and fallings, were dis posed of ere two miles had been traversed. Neither Do-. spatch nor Fortunatus the latter of whom was a mere shadow iu camparison with his gigantic stable com panion, Pearl Diver—could stay the course ; and clever though Messrs Brayley and Studd are, they were awfully out in their calculations. Over grass land three miles in extent Despatch and Fortunatus would, doubtless, be for midable ; but neither horse can stay, and the last-named was the most unlikely Grand National winner we ever examined, as ho is light, and deficient in size and power. Despatch, who was trained to perfection, is an ugly horse, but a fine mover. For the defeat of him and Fortunatus there is no legitimate excuse, as both had a fair fight for Aintree laurels; but what the fate of Fan and Pearl Diver might have been, had they stood up to the finish, it is impossible to say. Both these horses were in blooming condition ; and it was " hard lines" fo Messrs. Barber and Brayley that their representatives di not run to the end. Guy of Warwick performed like the coward he is, and steeplechasing is evidently not his forte. Little Globule, whose fore legs exhibit signs of decay, and Huntsman's Daughter ran well for a long distance, but the latter broke her fetlock joint— another blow for Mr Morgan, whose luck has been bad for some time past. Q. C., considering that ho is a young horse, presented a bold front to within half a mile of home, and be is sure to make a finished steeplechaser when time has matured his latent qualities. The first four at the ter mination of the contest—The Colonel, Hall Court, Gar dener, and Alcibiade—are fine cross-country horses; and, considering that it was The Colonel's first essay over the Grand National ground, his performance was a highly creditable one, although the wretched pace at which the race was run detracts somewhat from the merits of his victory. The Colonel is home bred and trained, and his owner, who is a Shropshire farmer, must feel satisfied with the result of the race, as it is no empty honour to win a Grand National the first time of asking. Messrs. Evans, Roberts, and Stevens are, however, entitled to share the honour of The Colonel's victory with Mr Weyman, as thby have each contributed, by advice or otherwise, to the suc cersful resu't. For the "proud Salopians" the issue has b en a great hit, as tho Ludlow division were on to a man, and• The Colonel bad also strong bands of admirers in Herefordshire and South Wales. His victory, therefore was a popular one ; and, although wa never believed in hi Grand National prospect, we willingly award thr3 honour due to The Colonel, who is a half-bred son of the Knight of Kars out of Boadicea. There will bo meetings this week at Warwick, Mel ton, Pownpatrick, Ulveratone, Kingsbury, and Scar borough. The programmes, however, issued from War wick and Melton aro the only ones that are worthy of criticism at this date. The Warwick Spring Meeting will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday ; and for this pleasant gathering Mr. Merry has published his usual lengthy broad sheet. If all the proposed events in the programme fill, twenty-four races will be brought to issue ; and the decisions in the Great Warwickshire Han dicap and Willoughby Cup may throw some light on the fast approaching Northamptonshire Stakes, which has been a dead letter in the market. The principal closed items in Tuesday's card are the Trial Stakes, the Wil loughby Cup, a Two-year-old Sweepstakes, and the Han dicap Hurdle Race. For the Trial Stakes (1 mile) mall Vale Royal, Silenus, Orion, Charnwood, and John Leech have been nominated. This entry shows a lamentable falling off, as compared with previous years, when some of the best horses in training ran for this stake. Charn wood, if tit, would win easily; but as I have doubts on that scare, my selection must be Orion, who has recently been seen in form. Eighteen horses have accepted for the Willoughby Cup (1 mile); and Yes pasian, 12st 71b, has been bottomed with the top weight. This splendid nailer will, notwithstanding his heavy impost, be bad to cut down. Knight of the Garter, 12st 71b ; Mast-e- Willie, lOst gib ; Historian, 10st 31b ; Sister to Vedette, lOst 21b ; and Be fast, Pst, however, ap pear to be the pick of the handicap ; and the race may finally be left to Blos,'s or Sir F. Johnstone'a representa tive, which will probably be Historian. A Sweepstakes of 25 sous each (about 3 furlongs) will be won by Sister to Veda, who is only likely to be opposed by Hollandaise. In the Handicap Hurdle Race (2 miles)thirty-seven horses have been weighted. As the minor forfeit, however, is only 1 sou, and nearly every nominator is represented by two or three horses, I shall merely point out Collins and Lord Poulett's as being well in. On Wednesday, in the Great Warwickshire Handicap (li miles) twenty horses stand from the original forty-four subscriptions. Knight of the Garter's weight has been raised by a 71b penalty to 9st 51b, and, despite this fact, the gallant son of Patna Minister is far from out of the race. John Davis, if in his ancient form, would be dangerous at Bst. Tertuilus, Est 121 b; Cheltenham, Est 121 b; Aggravator, Est blb ; the Vixen gelding, Est 21b; and Robespierre, Est 81b, are, after Knight of the Garter and John Davis, the pick of the handicap. Robespierre, in the face of his spring engage ments, will scarcely be brought out atWarwick. Knight of the Garter, however, is a likely runner, and either he or Vortigern, who meets the Knight on 11Ib better terms than he did at Liverpool, should hit the winning mark. The Two-year-old Stakes (about 3 furlongs) is spoiled by the name of Sister to Veda appearing amongst the nominations, as the 71b penalty will not stap her way to the winning post, when her best opponents are likely to be Mimus and Ken nington. The Handicap Plate of 50 soya (half a mile) should be won by Luna or Carita. The Debdale Stakes by the Vixen gelding. The Hunters' Steeplechase we award to Endsleigh or the Drone. On Thursday there is every promise of an excellent day's sport, as the Grand Annual Steeplechase and seven other races are down in the list. Amongst the sixty-five candidates entered for the Grand Annual Chase (about 4 miles) are Hall Court, Gardener, Alcibiade, Despatch, Fan, The Lamb, The Doctor, The Nun, Brigstock, Globule, Pearl Diver, For tunatus, Sea King, and Shakespeare. The winner of the Liverpool Grand National has not been nominated, which ' is an unfortunate circumstance, as the presence of The Colonel would have invested the Warwick race with con. siderable interest. A powerful field may, however, be - calculated on, as Mr Merry's handicap is on the usual flattering scale. Fortunatus and Despatch may stay better over the Warwick country than they did at Liverpool; nevertheless I most esteem the chances of Fan, The Doctor, and Brick, and I shall give Mr Barber's mare one more trial before discarding her, as she is in splendid condition at present, and none the worse for her fall at Liverpool. The Hunt Cup Steeplechase (about 3 miles) appears likely to be carried off by Fan or Fortunatus ; and the Stand Handicap (1 mile) by President Lincoln, Master Willie, or Sir F. Johnstone's selected. The Mahon Steeplechase Meeting will be held on Tuesday, and an interesting day's sport will be wit nessed, as three out of the five races in the list have closed with good entries. For the Melton Open Steeplechase ' (about 3 miles) The Doctor was struck out at two p.m. on Thursday. Seventeen horses now remain in, amongst them Benazet, 12st 21b; Greenland, list 81b; Fan, lOst 131 b; Royal Irish Fusilier, lOst 121 b; Wings of the Wind, lOst 41b ; Chorister, lOst ; and Primrose, 10st. Fan will, we believe, take the Warwick instead of the Mahon Cir cuit; but Greenland, Benazet (or Royal Irish Fusileer), Wings of the Wind, Primrose, and Chorister are amongst others likely to run for "the Open." Of these the best will be found in Primrose and Lord Poulett's representative, which, notwithstanding his Liverpool defeat, may be Ba nazet, as he will like the easy grass land at Melton better than the heavy ploughed country at Aintree. In the Open Hunter's Stakes (about two miles), twenty-one horses are found, the most noteworthy of which are Huntsman's a gh, she ought sccan Sister, Alice, Scampston, Canny Wom an , an d D olan .

They were preceded by an eight of the London Clbu, who were out ready to have a spin with the crew.
