(From The Sun of last Night.) • ••r • am PEEL arrived in town at an early 6 k „,, nipg from Drayton Manor, Stafford ( i r 4 - 1,44 ;41=232; arri ed in ton this forenoon, and • r , a • , r ~ , THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MOR NING, JULY 7, - 18* the prosecution of so vast an undertaking, Lord Joux will find himself inspirited by the countenance and support of every benevolent and philosophical Mind. warrant the expenditure or satrifiin 1:11 1 trhiai musk result from the eltension. should it be necessary to offer to pasSenkeh a 6ndieYaticb tii more points thAil one, they think it might be effected with greater advantage by branches skirting the town, and terminating at points without the line described in their instructions. As to merchandise, they think a line skirting the metropolis on the north, at such a distance as to avoid interference with populous dis • trite and thronged thoroughfares, and connecting the goods' stations of the various railways from west to east with each other, terminating at some convenient point on the Thames, or within the docks, would more surely attain an easy, unbroken, and economical communication between the northern railways and the docks. This line they think should cross the river to the west of the metropolis, to connect itself with the South-Western, South-Eastern, and any other lines that may approach the town on that side, and they think also that it would be of greater public value in a military point of view. Each of the other points for consideration—viz., as to the sacrifice of property, the interruption of important thoroughfares, and the interference with plans of improvement already suggested—furnish the strongest objections to the extensions on the north sides, which they specify in detail, and they have submitted the following recom mendations, with which we fully coincide, viz:— MollEy and CONiMtitCiAt REWS, , (E nut Tile ,Site of Last nigh t.) 'the Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was steady, and prices were fairly supported. Sales, 6,000 intleiti all Val the trade. Shares were quiet. It must be stated under this head, that in commercial circles, at least, the appointment of Mr. Benjamin Hawes, jun., to an under secretaryship, by Lord John Russell, has given very considerable satisfaction. We mentioned, a few days back, that the new Premier would seek the Honourable Member as a fit party to hold Aim The aptitude for busi ness exhibited by Mr. Hawes has long been a subject of warm comment, not only among his constituents of the borough of Lambeth, but in Parliamentary circles. The accounts received this morning from the continent speak very generally of the excellent appearance of the crops of Wheat, Rye, Barley, &c., some very refreehing showers having fallen in Russia, Germany, Prussia, and other parts of Europe, from whence we usually receive, in times of de ficiency in the home crops, our principal supplies of grain. A lively interest appears to have prevailed for the passing of the Corn Bill by the Imperial Pa rliament, but at the same time the favourable advices sent out of the aspect of the crops of Great Britain. had damped the ardour of speculators. in makieg purchases of corn to be delivered after the harvest had been got in, and which would, in case of a deficient yield here, come into our p ,rts. The Revenue account, just made up for the last quarter, is considered as very satisfactory here. The general advices from the West Indies are of rather a more cheerful nature, finr the weather in Jamaica, Barbadoes, and most of the other islands, as well as in Demerara, was very favourable. The past damage, it was long since known, could not be repaired. There are accounts one day later from the United States. The tight shoe of war already began to pinch the Americans, and the deficiency in the revenue occasioned by the opera tions in Mexico was set down at a very considerable amount. The Tay steamer brings two millions of dollars from Mexico on merchants and mining account, but nothing for the dividend. This was pretty well anticipated, as we learned by a former arrival that the authorities were prohibited from paying over any more money to the divi dend account from the proceeds of Customs duties. The Public Securities have been very firm this morning, and there has been some disposition to enter into business. Consols for the Account have realised 95% to 95% ex div. The premium on Exchequer-bills is still rising, as the divi dend payments this week will make money plentiful, for a time at least. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97 to 1 %, and the , , Three per Cents. 95 3 4 to 96. Bank Stock is worth 208, a further advance of to to 1 per cent. Never did the r e p rese nt at i ve o f any b orough res i gn his seat into the hands of his constituency with a better title to their consideration and gratitude than Mr. COBDEN. His farewell address to the electors of Stockport we have already given, and it is our honest conviction that the causes which have led to its publication, and the circumstances which hate rendered that resignation necessary, will be subjects of the deepest regret to many millions of his coun trymen. As affording us the prospect of Mr. COB DEN'S ultimate return to his great legislative labours, we are, however, prepared, on mature reflection, to hail the fact of his retirement into private life with sentiments nearly akin to those of satisfaction, principally because that cessation of arduous Parliamentary exertions will prove an inexpressible solace to one whose whole constitution is debilitated and wrecked by an unexpected and protracted career of moral and political agitation. We are so satisfied with the actuality of that declaration uttered by the ex-Mem ber for Stockport, at the final meeting of the League, that he is not physically constituted for the office which during the last few years he has so nobly filled, that we believe a renewal of domestic tranquility to be the boon most coveted by Mr. COBDEN at this moment of victory. His temporary withdrawal from the din of the political arena will assuredly prove to him the most acceptable recompense for his fervent and unflagging exertions for the social and commercial emancipation of his fellow-men: the ties of home will prove more congenial to him at this juncture than a score of civic crowns: the golden solace of repose, more welcome than any golden testimonials. Such we sincerely believe to be the modest and unambitious sentiments of our Great Free-trader, but those sentiments must be met with proportionate generosity. While his wishes are being gratified by the acquisition of AO much time as will be sufficient to recruit his decayed health, let the wishes of the popular heart be gratified by accompanying his retirement by some emphatic expression of national gratitude. Let the CINCINNATUS of England, on returning to his per sonal and household affairs, do so only after having received some assurance that his services to his fellow-citizens will ever render him, even in the quietude of his seclusion, the object of their unceas ing solicitude and of their most heartfelt remembrance. We have written this adjuration, and before the ink has well dried we receive intelligence of its partial fulfilment : we have called upon the public to prove itself worthy of its benefactor, and before our voice has yet reached the ears of the population an intima tion reaches us that upwards of twenty thousand pounds have been already collected in Manchester as a testimony to RICHARD COBDEN that his deels are already having their fruition in the national heart, and that his extraordinary labours cannot easily be forgotten. Something like this was neces sary under all circumstances ; it was necessary to prove to the antagonists of the Ministerial policy that the people were really in earnest in their anxiety for the removal of all restrictions upon commerce, and it was necessary, also, to signalise in a remarkable manner the ability, the enthusiasm, the eloquence, and the bodily fatigue un dergone solely for the advantage of the multitude by a large-minded, honest-hearted, plain-spoken cotton printer of Manchester. When we bear in recollection the marvellous facilities of com munication which have been co-existent with the agitating movements of Mr. COBDEN, when we estimate the hundreds of miles by railway, the voluminous correspondence, the hours of public exhor tation, the activity of mind and the bodily drudgery which were all required from him, day after day, night after night, month after month, and year after year, it neither becomes surprising that he should be solicitous of quietude, now that the triumph is assured, or that the people for whom he has thus laboured, and the people for whom he has thus conquered, should he equally solicitous to tenderkim some unmistakeable mark of their gratitude. RICHARD COBDEN will now retire for a period from the turmoils of public and especially of political life, but he will retire with the respect of a whole country, and that country the country_ of 14s :§irtla.,c.4„ftfii . -te,, sojourn :; twelve months abroad, let us hope that he will return alto gether renovated in health, and prepared to assume that position in our legislative system which would inevitably cast lustre upon himself and advantage upon the community. Great Britain is in need of its RICHARD COBDENS. " 1. That on the north of the Thames no railway now before Parliament, or projected, be permitted to come within the limits described in our instructions. 2. That if at any time hereafter it should be deemed advisable to admit railways within those limits, this should be done in conformity with some uniform plan, carefully laid down under the authority of your Majesty's Government, and sanctioned by the wisdom of Parliament ; and that under no circumstances should the thoroughfares of the metropolis, and the property and comfort of its inhabitants, be surren dered to separate sct►e - ,ght forward at different times, and without re , - other. "3. That on to the Thames, either the North Kent Railway be pt..i0.,,A1 to have its terminus in Union street, and to join the terminus of the South-Western Rail way at Waterloo-bridge; or that the South-Eastern Railway be permitted to extend to Waterloo-bridge; accordingly as one or other of these lines may, upon a comparison of their general merits, receive the sanction of Parliament, and sub ject, in either case, to the conditions which we have pointed out in this report. _ _ _ In:the Foreign House the transactions have not been of so limited a character, but the slight symptom of activity has arisen not from purchases but from sales, and we note a rather lower range of prices for most of the securities dealt in. Portuguese Four per Cents. ex dividend hare been 48 ; Spanish Three per Cents. 35 ; also without the interest; Mexican Five per Cents, 263 i ; the Deferred, 15%; and Peruvian, 37 1 iG to 38.

" 4. That the extension of the South-Western Railway to London-bridge be p,rmitted, subject to the conditions pointed out in this report. "5. That a communication between the railways ap proaching London on the north and south sides of the river, and a connexion between them and the dock; being desirable, this should be effected by a railway encircling the metropolis, crossing the Thames at some point west of Vauxhall-bridge, and not coming within the limits of our inquiry on the north side of the river." Russia has, it is said, demanded that TYSSOWSKI, the ex-Dictator of Cracow, shall be given up. Neither Prussia nor Austria wish him to be detained. He will proceed to Trieste with a Saxon passport, and an Austrian safe conduct, and from thence he will embark for the United States. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSINi O'CLOCK. PRICES.

The Heraldo states that the Portuguese Governor of Chaves had requested the assistance of the Spanish Commander-in-Chief at Orense to suppress a Miguelite outbreak in Tras-os-Montes. The Briga dier PAOLO MOURIDE and another general, at the head of 200 rebel 9, had advanced to within half a league of Chaves. The Spanish officer refused to interfere without special orders from his Govern ment, and at night the Miguelites retired. General NARVAEZ and M. CORTINA have both left Bayonne for Paris.

The Chambers were prorogued on Friday by a royal ordonnance, and the dissolution will take place immediately. According to the Journal des Debate the Electoral Colleges will be convoked on the Ist of August, and the new Chamber will meet on the 27th of that month. In the Chamber of Peers, on Thursday, Count MONTALEMBERT alluded to the occupation of Cracow by the three Powers as a violation of the treaty of Vienna. The reply of M. GuizoT was, that no per son would venture to pretend that treaties were not to be modified if circumstances rendered it necessary. The changes that had occurred in Belgium in refer ence to Holland, and in the East, were a proof to the contrary ; hut then nothing could,be effected without the concurrence of the contracting powers. In the present case there were double rights to watch over, those relating to the republic of Cracow, and the Poles placed under the different powers ; and those of the Governments who had signed the treaties. These double rights had never been forgotten by the KING'S Government. In the year 1836, when Cracow was first occupied, they were put forward and insisted on by M. TRIERS, and in 1838 by Count MOLE. In both instances the KING'S Government, whilst allowing the necessity of the occupation, had maintained its right to watch over what regarded the constitution of the provinces in question. What the Hon. Ministers just named had then done in 1836 and 1838, he had effected in 1846; he had made the same reservations, and main tained the same rights.—(Hear, hear.) He had also received the same reply, that events had necessitated a temporary occupation, but that existing treaties should be respected." From the contents of these papers it would appear that the best understanding subsists between the new POPE and the Court of France. Letters from Dijon of the Ist state that a collision had taken place between the French and Piedmontese ' workmen, employed in the construction of the Lyons and Dijon Railway.

The Commissioners have devoted their attention to no less than nineteen different projects, which it was proposed to extend within the limits of their inquiry ; of these no less than fifteen contemplated termini north of the Thames, and the remaining four to the south thereof. The chief point for consideration manifestly is whether the extension of these railways into the centre of the metropolis is calculated to afford such additional convenience to th 3 public as will com pensate for the sacrifice of property, the interruption of important thoroughfares, and the interference with plans of improvement already suggested. They think that a considerable distinction exists as to the projects north and south of the river. The more convenient points for the southern railways they conceive to be the vicinities either of Waterloo or Hungerford-bridge for the West-end, and of London-bridge for the City, which are attainable with much less disturbance of house property than would be caused by bringing the northern rail. ways to points of comparatively equal convenience on the north side of the Thames. The property to bc disturbed is less valuable, and the thoroughfares to b• crossed are less important, and fewer in number, 0) the south side. Nor are there any plans for street corvette :- " The natives of the island of Wahine, urged by the spirit of hostility imparted to all their countrymen by the enemies of France, murdered a pilot (an American by birth) who was in our service. An expedition was sent against the in habitants of that island, but the campaign had not the results expected, and we actually sustained a defeat. Wahine is situate 20 leagues to the west of Otaheite, and is the most ad vanced land in the small archipelago existing on that side. It is not very populous, but being only 10 or 12 miles distant from the other islands, their entire population united against us, and we were compelled to retreat, not, however, without experiencing some loss." The same letters announce that the natives info - Lied to attack Fapeii, and set it on fire, "which," says the writer, "will Oe an •-asy matter, as all the houses are thatched.

A contract had been entered into with a person who undertook to provide cattle from the interior of the country, but he has not been able to fulfil the conditions of the contract.

The ordi nary traffic, too, would be less interfered with ; it is not so great as on the northern side, and runs through wider and more convenient channels, so that the addi tional traffic to be created by railway termini could more easily be accommodated. A greater number of the put lie would be accommodated by the southern extensions ; and the Legislature has already sanctioned a line from the Nine-elms to the York-road, near Waterloo-bridge, and the construction of a terminus at the latter point. For all these reasons the Com missioners look upon the close approach of the southern railways to the eastern and western bridges of the metropolis in a more favourable light than that in which they view the proposed extension of the northern lines into the City, or other thickly in habited districts of London. These reasons appear sufficiently cogent to warrant the conclusion at which the Commissioners have arrived, and we think they are such as, when maturely considered, must com mand general assent. ELECTION NEWS. DEvosPoRT. (FIL , I.M OUR CiialtllsroNDENT.) .I..runbAr.—By moning's mail intelli gence Jrrived here that a tr,w writ had been moved for and granted ti,r the election or a Member of Parliament, to fill the seat vacant by the acceptance of the office of Secretary of State for the Houle Department by Sir George Grey, one of our borough representatives. This news did not, however, create anything like the sen,ation generally attendant on an nouncements of that kind, becairA, there was no prospect of opposition. In the course of the day the writ arrived in the town, and was eelivered over to W. P. Blackmore, Esq., the Mayor, and it is expected the election, or rather re election, will quietly come off on Thursday next, It appears from the statistical inquiries made by the Commissioners, that the distribution of passengers from the various railway stations in London are in the proportion of nine to the west, and four to the east of a line drawn north and south through Temple-bar. They think that the accommodation to be derived from such extension is greatly over rated. It is by the passengers, who constitute the short traffic on lines entering London, and who are in the daily habit of using a metropolitan railway, that the advantage of carrying the lines as far as possible into town would be most sensibly felt. The avera ge distance which is travelled by passengers stopping at the Euston-square terminus is sixty-four m iles. To persons who travel this distance, and who may be assumed to use the railway less frequently, the saving of a mile or two cannot be of so great importance either in time or money, and they do not think the accommodation would LONDON STOCK E XCH.kNOE.

Secretary—Lord CLA. RENCE PAGET. Under Secretary for 1re 1and....... . ...... Mr. REDINGTON. We have heard with great satisfaction a rumour that Sir HOWARD ELPHINSTONE is likely to have an appointment under the new Government. Our readers are already familiar with the con struction of the new Cabinet. It confirms the belief we entertained and expressed this day week, that, notwithstanding the strong intimation, thrown out by Mr. COBDEN, of a desire that the new Adminstration should be formed upon a political junc tion between Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord J. RUSSELL, no such official union would, at the present time, be consummated. We believe that a Cabinet com prising the abilities of these two illustrious statesmen would have been received with unmingled satisfaction by a large portion of our countrymen. We confess, however, that we are better pleased with the existing arrangement. We have already praised the attempt made by the Premier to enlist among his colleagues Earl DALHOUSIE and other liberal-minded officials, who figured so favourably under the auspices of Sir R. PEEL; and have also expressed our regret that the attempt was unsuccessful. There are, undoubtedly, times when a powerful Government is indispensable for sa tisfactorily conducting the affairs of the coun try. Such was felt and announced by the Duke of WELLINGTON to be the predominant idea in his mind, when his Grace wive in his adhe sion to Sir R. PEEL'S eilirged commercial policy, and which was only subsequently to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S having abandoned the task of constructing an Administration, towards the close of the last year- That was a peculiar crisis, and nothing short of the powerful leadership of Sir R. PEEL in the one House, and the great influence of the Duke in the other, could have so speedily and triumphantly carried the great measures which are now the law of the land. But, considering the healthy action which public opinion has exercised upon the Legislature since the Reform Bill, we are more desirous of beholding a well-intentioned, than a strong Government, presiding over our national concerns. It has grown into a poll tical apophthegm, that a strong Opposition is for the good of the country ; and in a period of public pros perity, when we are blessed with peace at home and abroad, when our finances are flourishing, and agri culture, commerce, and manufactures present a healthy aspect, an opposition of some strength is not disadvantageous. Under such a state of things the influence of public opinion is more likely to be felt and impressed upon the Legislature, should the Go vernment, by its acts or measures, manifest an indif ference to the promotion of our national welfare ; for then the country looks to the opposition as the legitimate vehicle for the ultimate realisation of' any reasonable, but thwarted, hopes. Reverse the picture, and suppose us to be threatened, or en gaged in war with any powerful state, or to be appre hensive of any civil outbreak, arising from discontent at home, or the public finances to be seriously dis ordered, then we should desire a firm and vigorous executive in the place of a powerful opposition. But as we are, happily, very differently circumstanced, as Sir R. PEEL and Lord Joins, united in office, would be almost irresistible as a Government ; and as we never can tell the particular turn which public affairs may take at any moment, we are not among those who regret that they will continue to sit upon opposite sides of the House. We prefer this all the more, seeing that Sir R. PEEL has promised to support his successor to the utmost in any endeavour he may make to free our commerce from remaining restrictions. In his retiring address, Sir R. PEEL took for granted that, to follow up the impulse he had imparted to free trade would constitute one of the leading principles of Lord JOHN'S Government; and in the latter's ad dress to the electors of the city of London, we read with delight the assurance that he " will not desert the principles of commercial freedom." The nomination of Lord Joni, to be returned to Parliament as a representative of the greatest city in the world, takes place on Wednes day, and we implicitly trust the citizens will do equal honour to the Noble Lord and themselves by promptly enabling him to resume his seat in the House of Commons. His address mo destly establishes his claim to a renewed mark of their confidence; and whereas he was formerly re turned by a narrow majority for having boldly advo cated the extinction of commercial monopoly, we hope, now that his enlightened views have been sealed with the approval of Parliament, he will meet his reward, and be returned, without opposition, to the sphere where he has justly acquired so conspicuous and enviable a fame. In the outline he has traced in the address alluded to we recognise many subjects of infinite importance to the future well-being of these realms. Independently of following in the wake of his predecessor with respect to spreading the wings of our commerce, he has enumerated, among other matters, the social condition of the people as one of pressing consideration to the mind of the legislator. His Parliamentary labours show that this is a sub ject to which Lord Jour; has for a long time devoted his attention ; we are, therefore, fortified with the hope that we shall shortly have " most comprehensive measures" introduced for effecting reformation among the humbler classes of our countrymen, whose condition has long been felt to afford a severe theme for national reproach. Full employment for their inherent industry, pro visions abundant and cheap, a wise code of laws re gardful of public health, and a ready access to the means of sound education, these are the levers by which the hitherto neglected masses of our fellow beings must be raised to a proper level, commensurate with the wealth and grandeur of the British empire. Lord Jose has shadowed forth his willingness to put his hand to this great work; and sure we are that, in PLYMOUTH. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENIL) PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.—We are animated by the prospect of a contested election here. The candidates in the field are Viscount Ebrington. the late Member, and Mr. Henry Vin cent, the well-known lec:arer. The intelligence of the acceptance of office of Lord Ebring ton, and that a new writ had been granted, • arrived here simultaneously, and was made known principally by means of the late edition of The Sun of Friday, which circulates here about ten o'clock in the morning. For some time after it was known that there would be an election it was uncer tain whether or not there would be a contest, the more general opinion being that there would be none. Some of the parties who had been connected with the Complete Suffrage Association, formed here about two years since, meantime bethought themselves of Henry Vincent, who, very opportunely for their purposes, happened to have been here flu. a week or two last past. An interview with Mr. Vincent was sought, and after some debate it appears that that gentleman consented to offer himself as a can• didate. The starting of Mr. Vincent as a candidate is so unex pected that the friends of Lord Ebrington have not yet had time to make any movement in reference thereto, but they feel satisfied that his Lordship's return is sure. ----- BAVENSNEST ; Ott, "lIIE BED SKINS.

JAMES'S THEATRE. It was expected that last evening Mademoiselle Rachel would have made her debut in the character of Camille in Coraeille's tragedy of Horace. Mr. Mitchell, we believe, was in anxious expectation of the arrival of Madame Rachel until a late hour in the afternoon, when he received information that she had been taken sud denly ill at Lille, where she was fulfilling- an (-Nage merit. This cruel disappointment was announced to the public by the following, placard, which was posted on the door of the theatre. " St. James's Theatre, Monday, July 6. " Mr. Mitchell much regrets to announce thaz in - con rqu,,tice of the SUDDEN ILLNESS OF M ADLLE. the performances advortised for this evening must be unavoidably. deferred.

" The indulgence of the subscribers and the public is in consequence respectfully solicited." Mademoiselle Thjazet, and M.

THE RAILWAY RELIEF BILL." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir.,—The above Bill has proved a complete failure, owing to the minority of scripholders being FORCED to go on with the various schemes. It is quite clear, that unless something be done to stop the progress of railroads, thousands of families must be ruined. I would ld b t e h f e o r r e e aforney Railway humblysuggest the following • Bill obtains the royal assentthe promoters thereof should prone that they have offered to those parties who have signed the deeds, and who wish to withdraw, a return of their deposit, and to release them from all liabilities. This could not be a hardship on the company, because it has the option of winding-up, dividing, and com mencing de novo.-1 have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, J.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • have already given a list of the "good for noughts and "third rates ;" to day I will review that dangerous per" , tion which generally forms at least two-thirds of the fiel d s to wit—" the second rates, " and from which the winner ow and then springs up to the astonishment of the ring, 0 ?"' this dose has been repeated so often lately as to call for careful analysis of this important division. lago—This son of Don John has proved himself a " DerbY__, nag," by his doings at Newmarket and Ascot i he won vel7 - cleverly the Welcome Stakes, beating that extraordinaff animal St. Demetri, and the spring crack Burlesque—a Per: forinance well worth recording. lam very much afraid hi' !egg are not so good as they ought to be—the. last time I S . them they were b u t so - so; on th i s account I cannot Wel him for the Leger. Iry Picaroon, out of Resolution', dam—Must not be overlooked; his running on the Downs was far fret° mediocre. He possesses strength and speed. has remarkahlt good quarters, with shoulders well laid back, the wither: rather high, but altogether the beau ideal of a racer; he is dangerous outsider, and must be taken care of. Fair Star, by William the Fourth—A tolerable filly; ce l "' not best Joinville,. , Cranebrook, by Lord John—Must not be despised, for 1 2, 6 .. is the particular fancy of a few influential bettors—:..perse; who know what they are about for my part I knout h" little about him; consequently, at present, can't advise. Brother to Sir henry, by'Sir Martin—A tough outside' s ; who can and will go, especially over t r yi ng courses —more kim anon. • n d a Dolo, half brother to the 'fliVegoin nag—A strong pgoing nag—n if compact'• piece of horseflesh, as his victories at Newcastle, week before last, proved. I reckon him, and the Brothel' 7„, Sir Henry, to be on a par, an d have but, little hesitation declaring Fancy Boy to be at least half a stone better thsl3 either. St. Demetri, by Colwiek, out of Galata—Cut out for great deal of work, but without a chance for this race. • Wrestler, by Gladiator, dam by Mulatto—One of ,t b b,. " dark lot," is an animal which must be carefully dealt VT .to His blood and size are very superior ; he has ju s t gone be active training for the Leger, and if well on th e day will one of the most dangerous outsiders that can be found. of is difficult to judge of the capabilities of horses when Itoi to training, but from present appearances he is a likely_ e , do something prodigious. He is engaged in the ILlla V a ir muir Stakes at York, with the Brother to Millepede, 1- 4 Tatton Sykes, and the Peri colt, and should he start b length will be obtained immediately. Humdrum, by Sir I tercules—A great pet for the Pert i g but an extreme outsider for the northern even t ; will do little, his chances being entirely out after his last display the Heath. Colt by Don John, out of Peri—This colt's distance ig W t . or two and a• half miles, any other length of course seat, be unsuited to him. His running on the Downs was a O / 4 0, thing but first-rate, and his running at Doncaster, if be g will be a remarkable similitude to the former. w ho Vanish—ThiS filly is - the fircverty of Sir C. MOttek , , generally starts aometbiftg3 it will most probably nob will not win. m ot. Couroush, an half bred Irish n ag b y Birdeateher—l 011 mischievous fellow to be against, if qu i te up to the v3ll— day. The Traverser—No go at any price. Woodpe6er—Another " Irisher" by Birdcatcher, Wu ° 010 if well, be one of the competitors for a dead certaintt,. success will materially depend upon his training AIL" arrival on Drayido the Channel. b Colt by ton, out of Ruby el splendid blood 1 veins—more I know not.
