MONEY 11(ARICET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts received from the various manufac turing districts are of a rather more satisfactory character, In some localities a gradual improve ment has taken place, chiefly in the demand for home consumption. At Manchester increased activity has prevailed in the inquiry for India goods. Yarns, however, have declined. A fair amount of cloth has changed hands at Leeds, chiefly for home consumption, and some of the shipping houses, especially those engaged in the East India and China trade, have been rather:busy with light fabrics; heavy cloths, however, have been dull. The manufacturers nevertheless are fairly em ployed, as large orders for army and navy cloths have been given out. At Bradford the market has been dull for piece goods, and rates are generally in favour of buyers. A very limited business has been done in yarns, both for the home trade and for exportation. The hosiery trade at Leicester has Continued moderately active, some extensive orders for the United States having arrived. At Nottingham most branches of the lace trade have been very quiet, and hosiery goods have been in rather less demand. At Birmingham very little change of importance has taken place in the various trades connected with the town and neigh bourhood ; the demand for exports has been ex ceedingly inactive, although a few orders have been received from the West Indies, but the inquiry for the home trade has been considerably below the average. At 'Wolverhampton little improvement can be reported in the iron trade, but as stocks are low, an im p rovement is - confidently anticipated. The Li verpoo l C otton M ar k et on Saturday closed With a steadier appearance, and 8,000 bales were sold at fully previous rates. In the Railway Share Market only a very small amount of business was transacted, and prices tended downwards. In the Corn Market to-day business has been dull, and English wheat is nominally 2s. to 3s. per quarter cheaper. The .directors of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada have issued their report, in anti cipation of the half-yearly meeting, which is con vened for the 31st inst. It states that during the "X months ending 31st March last the net profits amounted to £12,051 14s. 7d., which, added to the sum brought forward from September last, gives a balance at credit of revenue of £12,265 11s. 2d. Prom this a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent. is proposed. To -day a call of £1 ss. or £13,750, becomes due °n the Tralee and Killarney Railway. There were no gold withdrawals from the Bank of England on Saturday. The Money Market still retains an easy appear ance. At the Bank of England, as well as in Lom bard -street, the applications continue limited, as comparatively little employment is found for capital 11 1 the development of joint-stock enterprise, and the requirements of trade, although somewhat ex tensive, are not productive of activity in monetary circles. Lower • rates consequently prevail. The best descriptions of short-dated paper are nego tiated at 4 to 1 per cent. cheaper in the general market than at the national establishment. Gold is now arriving in large parcels from Russia, but so active is the demand for France, that a consignment of £lOO,OOO, which was received on Saturday, was at once appropriated. In a similar manner all the Australian and Ameri can gold merely passes through this country, instead of accumulating at the Bank, but, the wants of the exporters being met by these receipts, the stock of bullion is maintained at a satisfactory point. Although speculative business is very dull, there are numerous investments, which as usual exercise a favourable influence upon values. Soon after the market opened, therefore, the Funds exhibited an improvement of per cent., and as higher pr ices Were expected from the French Bourse, a much better feeling prevailed. This impression, how ever, has not proved correct, as the Rentes are l e ,Rraphed at a slight decline. Consols are still 1, but the tone of the market is scarcely so ~,,.'l llll. Bank St oc k h as i mprove d to 220 an d 224, the " . levi' Threes and the Reduced Annuities to 90 L q 7 and Exchequer Bills are steady at 20s. to 235. prom, bein g The N ew Indian Loan Scrip is flat at 24 dis., marked 921. In the Foreign Market also increased firmness has been apparent. Turkish 6 per Cents, have been dealt in at 61, and the New Loan at 50 51, flat latest price' being 60 62 and 50 52 respectively. Transactions have been recorded in Peruvian 41 per Cents. at 811 ; in the 3 per Cents. at 60 to 62 ; in Buenos Ayres, at 754 ; and in Mexican, at 164 4. In the Railway Share Market the transactions have been to a moderate extent, and in several instances prices have shown rather more buoyancy. London and Blackwall have advanced £1; Mid land,los; and North Western and East Anglian, ss. Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Eastern (York) and South Eastern, have declined 55., and Great Western, and North Eastern (Berwick) 10 s. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets little variation of importance can be recorded. Lom bardo -Venetian shares are a shade higher, the old shares having been dealt in at 58 50, and the New at . 48 5. The latest quotations, h owever , were 51 t o 5 i for the former, and 4i to sfr for the latter. Gr eat Luxembourg realised 41, and West Flanders East Indian have advanced to 96, and Great 'ndlan Peninsula to 95. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show a n upward. tendency. Bank of Australasia have advanced 55.; London and County, ss. ; Oriental l an k , Ss. ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 10s. ; Yal Mail Steam and London General Omnibus Co mpanies brought former rates. lank st to RITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. per 221 1 20 c k 3 Cent.

We have been favoured by the Peninsular and Oriental Company with the following extract of a letter from Capt. Calbeck, dated Aden, 4th May :7 "A terrifi c storm of thunder, lightning, and rain b urst upon Ad en on t h e n i g h t o f t h e 30th of April a nd morning o f I s t M ay.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat ; nevertheless, all kinds changed hands slowly, and in some instances prices were a shade lower. There was a fair, but by no means active, inquiry for spring corn at previous currencies. Flour was dull. Throughout the Continent nearly all kinds of produce continue to support the late advance in the quotations. In the United States both wheat and flour have sold at further enhanced rates. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. From abroad we received 2,726 qrs. of wheat, 5,045 barley, 24,262 oats, 1,704 beans, 570 peas, 7,550 lin seed, 18,660 rapeseed, 137 sundry seeds; 6,329 sacks and 420 brls. of flour. The arrivals of wheat fresh up to-day from Essex were limited ; from Kent only moderate. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red and white was small, the demand for all kinds was heavy in the extreme ; indeed, so little business was transacted that the quotations were almost nominal. However, we may call the prices from 3s to 4s per qr lower than on Monday last. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer for the time of year. The sales were wholly confined to retail parcels, at about 2s per quarter decline when com pared with last week. In floating cargoes, off Falmouth, scarcely any business was done. Fine samples if barley realised previous quotations ; but all other kinds moved off heavily at barely late rates. Malt changed hands slowly at last week's currency. Good sound oats sold at full prices, but damp parcels wore lower to purchase. Beans were a slow sale, at last week's currency. The few peas in the market realised previous rates. The flour trade was very dull, and country markets were a shade lower to purchase. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Lord Campbell, Baron Martin, and Sir Cresswell Creswell.) STUDY V. STUDY. The question in dispute was, whether the documents and evidence produced supported the decree of the Judge Ordi nary, decreeing divorce. This was a petition by the wife for divorce against the husband for adultery with Jean Murdoch. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., appeared for the husband, and supported the appeal. The learned counsel contended that the agreement was entered into by the parties in the knowledge of the adultery, and that it was binding on the wife. By that agreement it was declared that if she did not fulfil the agreement he was to have his control over her as her husband, on the resumption of his marital authority over her, whatever his way of living might be. He submitted that her husband, Major Study, was entitled to resume his marital rights unless she made out a new case of adultery against him. Their lordships were of opinion that the agreement must be construed in connection with the evidence produced in the cause. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., referred to the 'case of " Barker v. Barker, 2 Evans, p. 285," on this point, and proposed to examine and cross-examine the respondent on the subject, and the court below ought not to have pronounced the decree appealed from before taking that evidence, as well as to examine the petitioner on this point. Dr. Spinks, Q C., followed on the same side, and said that under the Act of Parliament the Court were bound to follow as nearly as possible the practice of the Court of Arches. Lord Campbell thought there must be a difference be tween facts and presumptions. Dr. Spinks contended that, according to the true con- struction of the agreement, he was to have control over her whatever manner of life he led. It amounted to leave and licence, and it was for the wife to select that presumption according to the 43d and 46th sections of the act to submit to be examined and cross-examined on the case. Their Lordships affirmed the decision of the Judge Ordinary, with costs. HEARNE V. HEARNE. This was a petition by the wife against the husband for divorce, for adultery with a woman of the name of Bustal —desertion and cruelty. Mrs. Margaret Mere, Princes-street, 'Westminster, was present at the marriage of the parties on the 3d August, 1854. Mr. Bethel was present in his shop in the City when the petitioner called on him for some money. He said he had none and struck her. The woman Bustal was in the kit chen at the time. The parties lived in Church-lane, and I saw the petitioner after she left him. He allowed her ss. per week for a short time. Henrietta Catline—l live in Barclay-street, St. Jonn' s-lane. Knew her living in Judd-street since 1856. She supported herself by her needle. Do not know anything about her habits, but believe she gets her living honestly and respectably. Richard Fisher, 8, Red Lion-street, Holborn. On 23d December, 1857, let his house No. 4, Holborn, to Mrs. Hearne and her husband—the respondent and co-respondent (Eustal) in this case. They left on 27th October, 1858. Was shown the petitioner, Mrs. Hearne—she is a different woman from the Mrs. Hearne that Mr. Hearne then lived with in his house. She had a child with her then. John Conan, salesman, Covent-garden market, knew the parties when they lived in Church-place. She left that place. She is a different person from the co-respondent. Their lordships, under the particular circumstances of the case, decreed judicial separation. JOINT-STOCK BANKS. Closing 1 Busiseas 1 Share' Joint-Stock Banks. I Paid. Price.

For most breeds the demand ruled steady, though not to say brisk, at fully last Mon day's quotations. A few very superior crosses realised 4s 10d per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 600 of various kinds ; from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 40 oxen, &c. We were seasonably well supplied with most kinds of sheep. On the whole, the mutton trade was firm, and in some instances prices ruled a shade higher than on Mon day last. However, the general top figure for Downs did not exceed 5s per 8 lbs. We had a fair demand for lambs, at fully last week's currencies. The quotations ranged from 5s 4d to 68 6d per 8 lbs. There was a slight Improvement in the veal trade, at extreme rates. _ The best calves sold at .5s 4d per 8 lbs. In pigs very little was doing ; nevertheles;, prices were supported. s. d. s. d.

JONES, This was a petition by the wife against the husband for divorce for adultery with Miss Butcher, and for cruelty. The respondent was a surgeon at North Shields, and mar ried the petitioner at Christ Church there in June, 1847. The adultery was committed in June 1849. Mrs. Stife, sister of the petitioner, proved the cruelty on several occasions. In 1849 he knocked her down with a bootjack and left her insensible on the floor. Archibald Mackerson was in the employment of the pe titioner's father, Mrs. Davies, brewer, North!Shields, and was employed along with Police• constable Tod, on 4th June, 1849, to watch the respondent's house, and about two o'clock in the morning saw a light in his room, and went up a ladder and looked in by the side of the windowblind and saw respondent and co-respondent in the same room, and saw him put his hand round her neck and kiss her ; he then threw her down on the floor and had connection with her. Their lordships said both the cruelty and adultery were proved, and decreed divorce with costs, TURNER V. TURNER AND GILL. This was a petition by the husband against his wife for divorce, for adultery with the co •respondent. They were married in 1854. She said she could not live happily with the petitioner, and she went to live a few days afterwards with the co-respondent. The petitioner was examined, and said there was neither connivance nor condonation. She went to live, and is still living with the co-respondent. His circumstances did not enable him to bring the case before the court sooner. Mr. 111‘Cdn, boat-screw maker, City-t:oad, works at the same trade with the petitioner. He accused the co-respon dent, Gill, with cohabiting with his wife, and he admitted it. Their lordships decreed divorce with costs. I* THERS V. WITHERS AND FAIRLEY, Lord Campbell proposed to hear this case with closed doors. Adjourned to chambers to hear the cause. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. GOODE V. SMALLBONE-THE LATE PANIC ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE. This was an action to recover £7 35., as balance of a bill of exchange. Mr. Linklater appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bu chanan for the defendant. • It appeared that a portion of the goods for which the bill was given had been returned to plaintiff, and £2 3s. was struck out. Mr. Buchanan said that the balance (i 5) was admitted by defendant, who only wanted time. Mr. Linklater was of opinion that no time should be allowed beyond a month. His Honour was determined not to allow any indulgence to a person giving a bill of exchange. The moment it be came due it should be paid. Mr. Buchanan—At the time this bill was given defendant was pretty well off, but he has somehow or another mixed himself up with Stock Exchange affairs, and has terribly suffered by the late panic. By it he is reduced to very indigent circumstances. His Honour thought that one month was quite enough upon a bill of exchange. Judgment accordingly. SLATER V. BENJAMIN.-SERVANTGALISIC-CHAPEL ON SUNDAY EVENING. This was a summons to recover 10s. for one month's wages actually earned. Defendant is of the Jewish nation, and plaintiff is a stout young Irishwoman. Plaintiff averred that she had given defendant a fair and proper notice to leave—that she was a weekly servant, and had given a fortnight's notice. Defendant refused to pay her anything. She had to buy her own tea and sugar, and was charged for a saucer she had broken. She had also been accused of stealing some potatoes and eating them. Defendant said that ho wished to have his Honour's opinion upon a certain point. Plaintiff asked permission to go to the Moorfields chapel on Sunday evening, and said she would be back in one hour. He (defendant) sat up for her till one o'clock on Monday morning, and then went to bed. Plaintiff did not return until ten o'clock on Moiday morning, and was then discharged. His Honour—lt is a very good ground of discharge. Plaintiff—l had given notice, and my notice was up. Miss Benjamin (defendant's sister) said that she had been summoned by plaintiff, and having attended, no one ap peared, and the case was struck out. Plaintiff positively swore that she was present on that occasion, and that she spoke to Miss Benjamin, and was told that she had summoned the wrong person, but this was as positively denied, and Miss Benjamin stated that she heard the cause called. His Honour was of opinion that it was very extraordinary. Miss Benjamin said she engaged plaintiff as a monthly servant at 10s. She had advanced plaintiff 2s. 6d. occa sionally. Plaintiff had given no notice, and on the day of her discharge had seven days to serve to make up her time. Plaintiff—That was the only way I could get away from the house, and they would not let me go out. His Honour—You must know that the law allows Mr. Benjamin to keep the three half crowns you have earned in his pocket. It is misconduct for a servant to pretend to go to church, and then to leave her situation and not return till 10 o'clock on Monday morning. It will be a non su it , with no costs. A STRANGE STORY.—At the Bristol Bankruptcy Court, on Monday, Samuel Lewis, of Bryn ce thi n, near Car diff, corn factor, was examined by Mr. St one, b efore Mr. Commissioner Hill, and made one of the most extraordinary statements ever heard in a court of bankruptcy. He de posed that, about eight weeks ago, being in Cardiff, he ac companied a girl to a brothel, and was there robbed of notes amounting to about £Bl5 ; that h e did not discover his loss till the following day, when he was at Merthyr, and that he then gave no information to the police or any one else, fear ing that the matter would come t o hi s w i fe ' s knowledge. About five weeks since he came to Bristol, and there met another "young woman, " with whom he went to the house, and was there robbed of between £560 and £6OO. He gave no information of the robbery, but went home and told his wife of the loss, but not of the circumstances under which he now alleged it had taken place. He stated further, that on another occasion he had been eased of £l5, and had several times lost smaller sums under similar c i rcumstances. He also told a mostimpro bable story about the sale of £350 worth of goods to his son shortly before the bankruptcy. At the conclusion of the examination Mr. St one app l ie d f or the committal of the bankrupt, as the story he had told was inconsistent, incre dible, and utt er l y i mposs ibl e to b e t r ue. His Honour— "My duty is very simple. I have now attended for 39 years in criminal courts, but I never knew such a case as this, nor anything like it." The bankrupt was then re moved in custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.—Terence and James M‘Lean, two respectably-dressed men, of gen tlemanly exterior, were charged, upon a summons, with conspiring to defraud Mr. James Bigg of £250. Mr. Humphreys, jun., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wontner for the defendants. This was a bill of exchange matter, and it appeared, according to the statement of the plaintiff, that the defen dants called upon him with a bill of exchange for £250, and he discounted the same. When this bill became due on the 21st December, 1857, Terence INPLean called and brought with him three bills, each for £B4 19s. 4d., due respectively at one, two, and three months, and said that the bill for £250 would not be honoured, the defendants having fallen into difficulties, but that they had brought these bills, and that, as collateral security, they would also hand to him a promissory note, due in six months, upon Mrs. Ann Southgate, their sister. Upon this plaintiff handed back the £250 bill, and ac cepted the new bills and the promissory note. The first bill became due on the 24th January, but on the 21st plaintiff received a note informing him that it would not be honoured, and inclosing a fresh one. This plaintiff de clined to receive, and in a few days received official notifi cation that defendants had petitioned the Court of Bank ruptcy. Plaintiff attended that court, and a trade assignee was chosen. In June, when the promissory note became due, it was dishonoured, and plaintiff gave instructions to his solicitor to sue Mrs. Southgate. In the following Sep tember he was called upon by James APLean and told that Mrs. Southgate was unaware of the existence of the pro missory note; that she had signed it under the impression that it was a receipt ; and that if she was told anything about it she would cease to reside with them, and they would lose their means of living. The defendants then offered to give some more bills, promising that plaintiff, as a " friend in need," should not lose by the firm. Some further evidence having been given the case was adjourned. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES BY A JEWELLER'S SHOPMAN. —A BAD CASE.—Samuel Fuller, a well-dressed young man, in the employ of Mr. Charles Packer, jeweller, of 76 and 78, Regent-street, as junior shopman, was charged with stealing two bracelets and some marked money, the pro perty of his employer. From the evidence of Mr. Charles Packet it appeared that the prisoner had been in his employment about three weeks, during which time he had been continually missing money from the till, and on Friday night some marked shillings were put in the till. On Saturday, one of them being missed, he requested him to show him his money and on the prisoner turning out his pocket he found one of the marked shillings, and subsequently a second, and on requesting to see the prisoner's box he found a bracelet of jet and gold, and in his bag a cameo and jet bracelet, the prisoner having denied he had any of his property. There were other articles of jewellery found (a locket, a signet and wedding ring.) Bernard Stanley, 341 A, said there was another case against the prisoner for robbing a previous employer of the other articles produced. Miss Mary Jones, manager of the business of Mr. Charles Grego, jeweller, &c., of 16, Norton-folgate, Bishopsgate, said the prisoner had formerly been in Mr. Grego's employ, having left about a month. The articles produced, consist ing of the locket and the two rings, were the property of' her employer, and wort?' about £3. Mr. Packer said though he had been extensively robbed and believed the prisoner to be a confirmed thief, he wished the case dealt summarily with. Mr. Bingham, however, committed the prisoner for trial on both charges. WILFULLY DESTROYING A SIGN-BOARD.---Edward Thomas Aston, a respectable-looking man, was charged with creating a disturbance and pulling down a large and very attractive show-board, the property of Mr. Joseph C. Ruttinger, manufacturer of tobacco and cigars, 3, Carlisle street, and Dean-street, Soho. Mr. Ruttinger said there being a disturbance outside of his house at four the previous morning, he got up, and on going down stairs found the prisoner with the police, and that he had tore down his show-board, which contained a list of his prices, &c., causing him great annoyance. The damage was about 6s. 6d. Mr. Bingham having ordered the defendant to pay the amount, Mr. Ruttingor said he wished to have it put in the poor box. The defendant said he had been drinking. Mr. Bingham said that being the case he should fine him the usual fine of ss. MR. BRIGHT, 111. P., AND MR. W. JAMES. The following additional correspondence has taken place between Mr. Bright, M.P., and Mr. W. James " Barrack-park, near Carlisle, May 16. " Sir,—Some person has sent me a copy of the Carlisle Examiner newspaper of Saturday last, the 14th inst., in which I notice a letter purporting to bear your signature, dated Rochdale, May 12th, commenting on some remarks made by me to my former constituents, the electors of East Cumber land, at the late county election held in the city of Carlisle. I think it is usual, and would certainly have been well in this case, if you had taken the trouble to inquire as the correctness of the report before submitting your comments upon it for publication. In one particular the report is not correct. There was a great deal of noise and confusion while I was speaking, and it is not to be wondered at that I failed to make myself clearly understood by all the reporters. I did not cer tainly intend to say, and I do not think I did say, as some of the reporters have attributed to me, that the sentiment I quoted as having fallen from you was made after Louis Napoleon had seized the reins of power (for I was not then in Parliament), but after he had attempted to do so. Your remark to which I alluded on the hustings was made upon an occasion when you, I, and other members of the House of Commons were standing near the doors of the House of Lords waiting for admission to that assembly. I cannot, after such a lapse of time, fix the precise date, but to the best of my recollection it was either at the opening or the close of the session of 1847. A conversation arose as to what the next change might be in France consequent upon the then growing un popularity of Louis Philippe, and whether the present Emperor of the Fronch was likely to make another attempt to seize the reins of power. I have a distinct recollection of your having, on that occasion, made use of the expression I quoted, or words to the like effect, and which you now appear so desirous to repudiate. In reply to the last observation in your letter to the editor I am fortunate in being able to say that I have a good memory, and as much regard for truth as any man. —I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, " WILLIAM JAMES. " John Bright, Esq., M.P., Rochdale." " Rochdale, May 18. " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th. If the report of what you said was incorrect, I think it was your duty to correct it. I contradicted it ; and through the channel where it was made public. With regard to your explanation, I have only to say that whereas the original statement was simply untrue, the explana tion is not only untrue, but absurd. After Louis Napoleon's seizure of power such a thing as you charge upon me might have been said, but not by me ; but before it, and when nobody suspected that Louis Philippe and his family would be driven from France such a thing is in the highest degree improbable and absurd. If you do not recol lect the time when you heard me say some thing which you do not accurately remember, I think it would have been more prudent in you, and more just to me, to have abstained from making a charge against me which you are unable to substantiate. If you had prudently confined you mar r k s e e d l f t h t o e c t o h u a r t s egoefne yourra l abuse political of m e associatesw hi which r has g the recent elections, I should not have thought it necessary to comment upon what you had said. — r am, in Wm.

I presumed that if you had felt yourself aggrieve d by what I was reported to have said you would naturally have written to me for an explanation ; I do not feel myself called upon to enter into a cor respondence with the editor of the Carlisle Exa miner. You repeat that my statement is untrue. I am quite prepared to give you credit for believing it to be so, as you have doubtless forgotten what took place as referred to in my last letter. lam as firmly confident of its truth, that you used words to the effect that any man in any country had a right to place himself in a similar position to that which the French Emperor now occupies, if he could. I have not forgotten the remark, for, as I stated on the hustings, it made a very strong im pression on my mind at the time. I would not knowingly or wilfully be guilty of injustice to you or to any man. You may consider my explanation absurd; it is nevertheless true.--I am, sir, your obedient servant, " W. JAMES. " John Bright, Esq., M.P." NORWICII ELECTION PETITION.—It is said that a petition is to be presented on the meeting of Parliament against the return of Lord Bury and Mr. Schneider for Norwich. The petition originates with the Conservatives, and it is stated that Mr. Slade, Q.C., has been specially re tained to conduct the case against the sitting members. It remains to be seen, however, whether the movement will lead to any definite result. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Cloak. TATTERSALLS'-(THIS EVENING'.)

SPORTING .NOTES. A BATH GUIDE. The Derby horses are being sorted and the worthless ones are being rapidly disposed of. At Bath tomorrow and Wednesday several important knocking-out movements will be made and a com plete change will doubtless be effected in the ranks of the favourites. The signs of the decline and fall of many animals were perceptible in the City on Saturday, when Musjid was unsteady, Marionette shaky, and Merryman received his quietus. The "talent" indeed seems going for the Promised Land on whom he shall see Alfred Day. Some talk has been made about Actaeon, who may yet prove the best of the Danebury lot. They who trust to the out siders have had their hopes materially strengthened by the demonstrations which have been made in favour of Ticket-of-Leave and Highwayman, and have been only slightly discouraged by the omi nous reports which have been circulated about Old Robert. Enfield is regarded by many persons as the coming horse ; albeit, the Epsom folk look upon his pretensions with suspicion. The recent rains have exercised a most beneficial effect upon the course, and they have perhaps not a little con tributed to turn the direction of the betting. The programme which has been issued from Bath is as attractive as a Drury-lane Opera bill, and it will command a large assemblage of "professional" visitors, who will be as anxious to watch the course of speculation on the Derby as they will be to witness the races. Schism and Birming ham ought to figure in the foremost places for the Lansdowne Trial Stakes, but the first men tioned has other engagements for which she may be reserved. The most important and interesting race of the meeting will be for the Seventh Biennial Stakes, for which Highwayman, Scent, Sir Hercules, Trumpeter, Sheffield, Commodore, and Cynricus are likely to form the field. Both Volcano and Merryman are also entered, but the former is not likely to be brought out, and the latter has, it is said, met with an accident which will for some time confine him to his stable. According to the running in the Craven Meeting at Newmarket, Trumpter will not sound a retreat, although Highwayman may cause him some difficulty in striking the key-note of success. Lupullus will follow up his recent successes by winning the Eighth Biennial Stakes. As the forfeits for the Bath Handicap have not yet been declared, I must pass it over without further remark. For the Free Handicap my fancy points to Felicitas and Duchess of Kingston. Either Tame Deer or Olympias will, perhaps, win the County Members' Plate. " The Deer" will also be bad to beat for the Aristocratic Handicap. So littic: betting has yet taken place on the Somersetshire Stakes that it would be absurd to enter into a long discussion of the chances. The question respecting the policy of removing the race to the second day will be settled, and I think satisfactorily. Birmingham and Sobersides are certainly weighed well, and one of them will be about winning. Should Birmingham go for the " buttons," he will take a deal of beating. Mr. T. Parr's representative or the Termagant colt will win the Western Stakes. A FRESH MAN. AQUATICS.
