The aged Duo at 7st - may be pulled out in conjunction with,Cookerow or Redmond O'llaulon to fight a good fight for the Marquis's inte rest at Chester. Kick-up-the. Dust will not run. As outsiders the starter or starters from this lot (probably the highest and lowest weights) are well worth backing. GODDING has Retail, who, at 7st, if worth anything, ought to show his good qualities here; but I doubt his doing so very much. W. BUTLER has Hesse Homburg in preparation at Newmarket. She has been much fmncied for this event by a certain class, but, if I err not most egregiously, her weight, compara tively with others older than herself, is ngt to her ad vantage. W. J. ANSON has a couple in Calculator atid Bethgelert; the former has shown that he still possesses his last year's form, but his stable companion, at Ist 121 b difference for the year,• must be the best of the twain, and consequently the starter. PERCY'S lot consists of Vampire, Grand Duke, Constantine, and filly by Ratan. The two last are non-starters. Grand Duke, much fancied some time ago, at 6st 61b, looks somewhat dangerous, but I calculate it is only a ques tion of looks, nothing more. Old Vampyre, if they can brush him up for this bout, is as dangerous an outsider as anything in the race; reports, however, say that his appearance at the post is very dubious. HACKETT has Ballet Girl, who I take it will not be brought out on this occasion. OSBORNt'S trio is form€d by Achyranthes, Kathleen, and Merry Bird; ell the interest centres in the last-named, he being the starter. It is said he can beat the other two at pretty nearly level weights; if so, his chance must be a first-rate one. • SHEPHERD has Ring of Trumps and the Sally Warfoot colt, Tom Holthy having just been removed by his owner. The King, I f ancy, will be'the starter, if either go from this stable; and although weighted rather heavily, his chance is not altogether extinguished, being just the sort of horse suited to this, course. RESSELTINE'S couple, it wait supposed, ware good enough to carry of tho Cup with ease; but some very eccentric movements observable among several of the leading betting men of the north would lead me to infer that Unity, whether she runs or not, has equal chances of winning. tough Bewn I cannot fancy for as instant.

The ItURTON BREWERS have requested me to publish a s.,leion declaration, which they have made before me in my official capacity, anti which they have left in my keeping, in answer to a mischievous ch.trge, recently brought against them to the effect that they tuce Strychnine in tile making of their celebrated Bitter Beer. fhata chargo so absurd should obtain a moment's credence appears surprising to persons on the spot, who know that if ever a Manufactured article wa, free from adulteration, it this Whole some and grateful beverage In fact, it is well known to every one practically acquainted wi h the process, and ought to be knoun to every Chemi•t, not to mention learned " M.D.s," that nothing could produce the article in perfection but the finest malt and hops and the purest water, combined with the most sciupulous cleanliness and great skill in the mann , acture. The BURTON BREWERS, in adopting this mode of defence, have beets advised by counsel that it is the only legal course open to them, owing to the extreme vagueness of the charge. It would have been more agreeable to them collectively, or to any of them individually, to have met their calumniator in a court of law, where he would have had e v e ry f a cility for making good his charge, h ad it been capable of proof.

And we further say, that. we never even heard or suspected that the use of Btrychnine was imputed to any of the Burton Brewers, until such imputation- recently appeared in some of the public newspapers. And we further solemnly and sincerely declare that tifFh imputation is ausolutely . and entirely false, and grouadleSs. And we make this solemn deciat ation , conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of thaprov:lsions..of an Act of Var na nent made and passed in the fourth and flftl yeirSor the reign of King William the Fourth, intituled " An Act to repeal an Act of present cession of Parliament,. intituled An Act for the more effectual abolition of oaths and affirmations taken and made in various departments of the stay,, and to subTitute declarations in lieu thereof, and for the more entire sappression of voluntary- and extra judicial oaths and affidavits and to make other provisions. for the abolition of unnecessary oaths.'"

'lt is said that they only pay b y gaining sub scribers as they proceed, through the increasing appre ciation of their merits, and by the consequent sale of their back numbers; but, as the 'back numbers will not be disposed of till many months or years after the date of their publication, it follows that a good deal of capital eh fail to be oarspeculetion, paper duty. m bpue u tr s , ht as sp e is t sunk paer f a o er r sh t a h tro a d s l yu p e sf ,a r i i o ri d tj u i d n o ga t ne h s e no e s f h vse a ur p e ha zardous under the most favourable c ircumstance. The most casual glance at the Wok-stalls reveals the fact that serials don't keep, and it can only be a limited class of very enthusiastic, probably youthful subscribers, who are B O pleased with No. 50 that they order the whole series from the be ginning. There is a 'general complaint in the trade last cheapness is carrise tutu far in these publications, abet is, at the risk and inconvenience of. others ; nay, it was stated the other day at a meeting of publishers ;hat several of the class have lately determined to have nothing to do with cheap serials. We wish, too, t h at would naturally and we could persuad e ourse lves that the saving to ar i se trim ihe remissio n o f the paper duty This seems _ to us a gra t u itous supposition, as there w ou ld still remain the same inducement as now to cut down fill the costs to the lowest possible scale, not only in the spirit of rivalry, but for thesake of profit. One of the most singular a n d l amen t a ble features of.Arnerican. so ciety is the ver y l ow sca l e o f remuneration, ev en f or t h e highest literary services, compare d with the profits , of all oth er ' occupat i ons ;_ and, whether with rea - , -souor not, that- is abstribed to the extreme cheapness of allkinds of literature. It is, in fact, so cheap and abun dant as to swamp real merit and vulgarize the taste Of the public. We have made these rem i arks upon serials because they oc cu py th e c hi e f place n Mr. M. Gibson's catalogue of grievanc e s. As to the inconvenience of the Excise in the process of manufacture, and the neces sity, under existing circumstances, of first drying paper for the Exciseman's scales, and then wetting it for the press, that is an undeniable nuisance; though, we are sorry to say, only one Excise nuisance out of a legion. We find ourselves - once more-sthe object of allusion, with a running inuendo that wo have an in terest in maintaining the taxes on knowledge. On se veral former occasions it has been shown in these co lumns that, as the remission of the paper duty would constitute only a small fraction of a penny in the price of each paper, it could not be deducted from the price, and must fall to the proprietors. Of course, we could not object to that. As for the duty on the advertise ments, there can only be one opinion on its gross ine quality.. We feel it so strongly that for servants wan ting places we charge on a very unprofitable scale. But, after all, they contribute only a sma ll port i on o f our ad vertisements. In round num b ers, there were yester d ay about twelve hundred advertisements in our paper, and of these about two hundred were for servants wanting places. The advertisement duty for the day amounted to 90/., of which 151, or not more thin 17 per cent. of the whole, was paid for the class of advertisements which is very naturally felt to deserve consideration. It is not our. interest that this class should-increase to the exclusion of a more' profitable kind; and; if the duty shold be taken off, and our office should be more thronged than ever with servants wanting places, it is not improbable that we should find it necessary to keep up the charge to nearly its present scale. As to the other classes of advertisements, the duty in ge neral forms but a small portion "of the cost. We have no interest in the mainteuence of this duty, and, con sidering the infinite variety of: other ways in which people can advertise their commodities, their professions, their books, and themselves, at no other cost than the clogging of our thoroughfares, the defacement of our walls, and the general ann oyance of the public, we can not but think the newsp a p ers are rather hardly use d . There remains the stamp duty. Here, too, we can have no possible interest, except to be emancipated from much cost and trouble. We happen, indeed, to be special sufferers, being the only paper ffpublishesuorr. e a a r s supple m ent .

It is not the stamp on the first sheet, charged ail., but the stamp on the second sheet, given grand, which destroys the profit of oar paper after a certain circulation, and thus operates to the injury of the advertiser and purchaser— in fact, of the public at large. As to the general question of the stamp duty, en behalf of the whole metropoli tan press, we only ask to be fairly dealt witb. Mr. Ewart sufficiently indicates the effect of substituting a postage for a stamp duty, when he recommends the localization of the press. At present the London papers and their more ambitious provincial competitors start far, being equally weighted 'with the penny stamp. While,•therefore, the country papers appropriate our Parliamentary., legal, commercial, and, foreign intelli gence, and such other costly matter, with the utmost dispatch, and without so much as thanks, there still ex ists a large, class of country readers who prefer the Times at sd. to any provincial paper at that pries. But, if th e y have to pay sd.

This is the sort of honour which has been vonchsaf ti by the Board of Inland Reveille toP4r.,Charles Dickens e in reference to his finusehstd " M arraise Of Curr ent Events. Our readers are aware that this publication is a compact little monthly newspaper, put forth on the faith of a common sense construction of statutes, which exolado from starap.cluty periodicals issued at intervals greater than 26 days between each number, The Board -of Inland Revenue, having rashly ann ihilated an obscure provincial -.monthly journal ofd A similar cha. motel', were obliged , in sei Nustification, to follow np one wrong by _p er p etr ating another. Although picked offi c ers of the board, when afterwards examined before the Select committee on " - newspaper stamps, owned that they could n ot tell—from the-confusiori and contradiction of_ the law— w h at a sta. tutable newspaper is or is n ot, the b oaril took upon itself to decide ttiat the liousehold Narrdtive of Current Events is liable to b 3 stem :'d; but its proprietor, being stronger in purse than t' r unfortunate p r ovincial, re sisted this decision, and n ollac isl "Se was agreed upon and.referred, to the Court of gachequer. After an elabo rate argument before four of the Barone, three of them decided in favour of Mr. Charles Dickens; the fourth supporting ; upon purcely technical grounds, the af fi rma- Ttion of the. Stamptoffice. It my . be necessary to explain to non-legal readers that a special case is simply a s tate _ meat'of faCts agreed upon by the parties on both sides, which is to .form the basis of an arbitration —not to a single referee, as in ordinary cases—but to a bench ' of judges; these facts being argued upon by counsel on • both sides. Eich party stipulates in all faith and bononr to be bound by the decision; against which, consequently, a o „ apri 4, o anlyfie9l Alen . ilie• tic.. of . • ' nour in priv a t e lire, w h o have entere d into ma' i com pact abide by it, or they cease to be men of 'amour; but " their honours" of the Stamp-office acknowledge, it ap t pears, no such laws. Not being, says their mouth-piece, the Attorney-General, " satisfied" with the decision, they intend to prosecute Mr. Dickens further, by com mencing the suit against that . gentleman de novo, and eventually huntingehim into a Court of Error.' That is to say, the Board of Inland Revenue really—but nomi nally its creature and catspaw the Gove.mment—having solemnly agreed to be bound by the judgment of a ma jority of arbitrators of their own choosing, break their engagement, upon the childish plea that they see "not satisfied." In the long and dismaLannals of litigation, it has, we believe, never occurred that a worsted party ever was or ever could be satisfied with being pronounced in the wrong. Indeed, from a decision so given there is no appeal; but, in order to create an appeal, Mr. Dickens must be stretched once more uptin , tee reck--smuit endure 'tetine fate lure or the taw. The Attorney-General professes that such a gross breach of faith is necessary to set the stamp question at rest; but what warrant is there that the question will be indulged with any rest until it is settled -in favour of the plaintiffs? If there be any meaning in words, or force in agreements, the question is settled; and settled in favour of Mr. Dickens so thoroughly, that the law al lows of no appeal from a decision given upon such pro ceedings as those ineffectually taken against the House hold Narrative. Before Mr. Dickens can be dragged into a Court of Error a new set of proceedings, and a second decision against the Crown must be taken; and what is to prevent the case, should the Court of Error not give " satisfaotion" to the Board of Inland Revenue, from being referred to the House of Lords, and dragged through an endless trail of litigation, of which many younger men than Mr. Charles Dickens will not live to see the end ‘? Through such a frightful vista of legal tarter° etlgedefendant is supported by the comfortable experience that tie Crown pays no costs. His grpte t misfortune has been success in the first instance. "To haie been proved in the right is to be ruined. Blunders like lies beget one another in geometrical progression. The first blunder of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue was the parent of all the others. If they had not pat down the Norwich Re former upon what we, in common with three of ;our judges of the Court of Exchequer, believe to b e an erroneous construction of the law, they would have had no occasion to attack the Rousehold Narrative. Nor, having been foiled in that attack, would they attempt to renew it by a disgraceful breach of faith, prompted by a blind obstinacy in wrong. The point at issue is, cOmprehensively, of no manner of Consequence. There are not, and perhaps never will be, twenty publi cations similar to that of Mr. Dickens in the three king doms. Whether they be statutable newspapers or not, makes nothing for or against the stamp abolition ge es _ don, The whole affair, therefore, assumes the bad as pect of a petty official rancour. If the law he obscure and confused, if it be doubtful whether that which_ is twenty six days old is news (although printed with what hap pened yesterday), and if such a doubt still exists in spite, of the clear reading of th e law b y three Ex chequer judges, the honest course to adopt is to have the law made clear and indisputable, either by en en tirely new Act or by an explanatory Act; not to break a solemn bond upon the puerile and dishonourable plea that the decision made in respect of it is not " satisfactory" to the vanquished party. If the deci sion of three out of four judges be not final (as it was agreed between the parties it should be), no legal power on earth can settle the dispute. Tate case is not to be narrowed to the bounds of the Household Narrative.. If a single newspaper proprietor is to be served as Mr. Charges Dickens is dealt with, I.:hese turn will come next? We must 1)0k to our selves. The French and Austrian press is used not less harshly, but much inure openly; it has its brains blown out in the good old highway man fashion. Our press is, it seems, to be gradually suppressed by the slow poison of protracted law. Let us hope that something will come of Mr. Milner Gib son's onslaught on the whole system of taxation on literature, of which the Board of Inland l - t , venue arc the administrators. The Chancellor of the Exchequer almost seemed to intimate that relief is contemplated from the advertisement duty, which yields so :mall an amount to the revenue and is so inconsistent end absurd in its operation: After such an avowal, Mr. Gibson could not very gracefully haie pressed his motion to a division' last night; and ho acted prudently in nut wit ting to an adjournment until Wednesday, the 12th of May, when the whole question must come before the House, which, by that time, will be in possession of the financial plans of our literary Chancellor of the Ex chequer. CHRONICLE.—The debate of last night on Mr. Milner Gibson's motion led, from the nature of the case, to no practical result. It is evidently impossible to an ticipate the Budget "by taking the initiative of fiscal propositions out of the hands of the Government. Im prudent politicians who favoured the accession of their opponents to office may take warning from the conse quences of Lord Derby's appointment. The official right of bringing forward the Budget is in itself a power worth contending for. Mr. Disraeli can, to a certain extent, determine the financial policy of the country, and ho has at least a monopoly of all possible improve ments during the present year. It is not very probable that he will abolish the excise on paper, and it may be still more unlikely that he will remove the stamp from newspapers; but perhaps he will not reject the oppor tunity of purchasing support by some popular or plausi ble remission of burdens. It was easy for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to show the inutility of Mr. Gibson's motion, but we can by no means admit that the principles of taxation are so unsettled as he wishes to represent them. It is true that a Committee is sitting, not, indeed, on the general question of direct taxation, but on the ex pediency of an income-tax; and it cannot be denied that almost every indirect burden is put forward in turn, as requiring reduction or abolition. Nevertheless, all com petent reasoners are satisfied that the existing taxes on consumption bear a sufficiently large proportion to the general revenue of the country, and that at present they exceed, with few exceptions, the revenue standard, that is, the most profitable rate of assessment. The injustice and inexpediency which are common to nearly all these im posts sufficiently explain the zealous demands of the respective advocates of various fiscal reductions. Whether we look to tea, to beer, to wine, or to paper, we f a d an e xcessive and impolitic tax; and all that can be alleged in defence of the best of these ditties ie, that others stand more urgently in need of revision. 6Vith out pledging ourselves to the opinion that Idr. Milner Gibson's clients are entitled to preference, we admit that their case is a strong one. Although the description of certain stamp and excise duties as "taxes on knowledge" is unobjectionable as a rhetorical figure, the mere political economist will find it more convenient to re gard them as burdens on certain kinds of production and consumption. Knowledge is a good thing; but, so long as indirect taxes are imposed, they must be levied on good things—or, in other words, on articles which conduce to the enjoyment or benefit of the community. Cheap reading is not a more sacred object than cbca,p eating or drinking. It is desirable that fiscal regulations should impose as slight a cheek as possible on any of these blameless occupations; but if the Excise and Customs are to be maintained, financiers can only select the less productive and more oppressive duties for removal. It , must be admitted that much may be said in favour of choosing the Excise on paper for early abolition. In that case, however, the protective Customs duty on foreign paper ought certainly to be removed at the same time; for it would be every way unreasonable to give the papermakers of this country a monopoly at the very motneht when the demand for their prothicts would be greatly increased. There are many purposes of utility and luxury to which paper might be applied it it wore sufficiently cheap; and there can be no doubt that, as in the case of glass, the removal of the duty would maltiply the uses to which the commodity is put. There are, however, peculiar considerations exclusively concerning those kinds of paper which are spoken of as the instruments of knowledge. Ia one sense, paper is a finished manufacture; but as regards books, it is a raw materiel. The duty on paper must be paid before it reaches the printer, who is 'himself rather a producer than a consumer. The consequence is, that books which are never required by the general purchaser aro taxed, in their material, through the manufacturer of paper. The publisher who sells only 100 copies of a work out of 1,000 must, in the first instance, have paid the duty on the whole number printed—of course r at the expense of the purchaser , w ho is thus t those copies which he has not bought , as well alxfOr thehhe from " one which he possesses. This hardsh i p arises speculative nature of the book trade, and from theto con sequent impossibility of adjusting production _ a sells con sumption. A brewer pays the malt tax before his beer; but he knows exactly the quantity e will en-' be required. No amount of sagacity, able Messrs. Longman or Mr. Marrayohntthwoefvoepruesmeehawseho e ther the tax which they have paid i their paper will ever be replace.d therefore, to raise the price of books, gi nner the duty ; and as s ail insurance : I ce s u s r s a a e r e y e , against this contingent loss.

Ae aaPPenS such a measure would [PRICE SD. be an instalment of " justice to the farmer," who, as all readers of country papers know, is by nature an adver t;shig animal. The advertisement duty belongs to a class of taxes which has not la eizi sufficiently distin guished by economists. All duties tend to check con sumption ;• but those which have a prohibitory effect are the most vexatious. If a turnpike deters any person from taking a drive in his gig, the road trustees are none the richer, while the owner of the gig 'loses the use of his vehicle. The advertisement duty prevents thousands from ad vertising —greatly to their own inconvenicce, and without benefit to the revenue. The amount of 160,0001. yielded by this impost represents but a small part 'of the loss which it inflicts on the public. The maid -servants who advertise for their places are un duly taxed; yet th ey as it is, of contributing,have at l e a s t th e conso l at i on , suc h each her eighteenpence, to the maintenance of the State and the Monarchy. But the kitchen-maids who cannot afford to advertise suffer a still heavier loss from the existence of tho duty—a loss which is unaccompanied by any gain to the Exchequer. A. tax ought, 'if possible, never to be levied on the per formance of an act which can be omitted at pleasure. There are theorists who praise fiscal systems which leave a direction to tax-payers; but the, equitable finan cier proceeds on an exactly opposite principle. Sound financial arrangements leave no room for caprice in the tax-payer, but assesses him, as far as may be, in pro portion to his means. Taxes which favour either im providence or undue stinginess are always alike unpro ductive and demoralising ; and it is desirable that the operation of every impost should begin and end with the levy of the percentage required. A duty such as that on advertisements constantly interferes with every pru dential nictitation. It is on such grounds as these that the• removal of the " taxes an kaoßledge" will at no distant day be effected.. Sentimental arguments may be used for, skirmishing and ostentation ; but the true economic hearing of various taxes is what will ulti mately determine the opinion of Parliament. THE FORTHCOMING BUDGET. Mr. Disraeli's Budget is—he tells us—to be laid before the House of Commons this day week. On that day we may hope to learn what plans the Protectionists propose for satisfying the demands of the country. There is no subject which so much requires the attention of the re presentatives of the people as the revision of our whole system of taxation; and no part of that system is more faulty and more eeds amendment, than the portion of it which was to have been brought before the House of Commons last night by Mr. Williams—the annual bestowal by the Government officials of about 7,000,0001. on themselves. It ie, however, amongst the many evils of the Protec tionist faction having succeeded in placing Lord Derby in office, that the real business of the nation cannot be attended to, and that our barbarous and costly jumble miscalled a system of taxation, must beallowed to remain uninvestigated and unreformed for another year. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose lively brain is filled with crade finaneial plans, may possibly throw out some suggestions for lessening, On pretence of equalising, the burdens on the agriculturists; and the many clap-traps h e h as a l ready some one of n announced, 1 to the country; but what th e people want is a thorou gh appeal revision of all our taxation, w hi c h w i ll enable them f a ir l y to compare its cost with the ser v i ces i t pays for, and by which the burdens of the St a t e w ill b e reduced to a minimum, and that minimum will be fairly distributed. The people must be on their guard against Protectienist tricks, and not permit themselves to be seduced by mere fin&ncial seh , enes into a bedef that any plan is worthy of support which deviates from the just and righteous oh;ects they deiiro. The great vice which lies at the bottom of that ap propriation of 7,000,000/. is not, as the officials have cunningly represented, the mere stopping 7,000,000/. in its transit to the Treasury, instead of rending it thither to be afterwards transmitted to them, but it is the power assumed by the Treasury to expend su,:h a vast Sara without first securing the sanction of Par liament. To expend 6,000.000/. or 7,000,001)1. on t h e navy, and as much on the army, the Executive , government must present estimates to the Rouse o f Commons, and obtain itseensent to employing and pay ing a certain number of sailors and soldiers; but the Government may appoint any number of Custom-house and Ekeise officers it pleases, and en them and other officials employed to collect the revenue, it may expeud 7,000,000/. a year, without submitting any estimate to the House of Commons, and without rendering it any account of the manner in which the money is expended. That is tile vice of the system, and it is unconstitutional as well as absurd. The only account the Government renders is this— that it is pleased to expend about 1,600,0001. in collect ing 22,000,0001. of Customs duties, about 1,000,0001. in collecting 15,500,0001. of Excise duties; 165,000/. in col lecting nearly 7,000,0001. on stamps; 360,0001. in collecting 10,000,0001. of assessed taxes ; 1,200,000/. in collecting by the Post-office about 2,500,0001.; and 325,000/. in collecting less than 500,0001. on Crown lands, besides making draw backs, allowances, &c. According to the Parliamen tary Paper No. 98, Session 1847, the total annual amount of money expended in this way which never reached the Exchequer was 7,004,438/. 1 ls. 7 2-12 d., so fractionally minute is the Executive Government in in forming the Parliament of the sum it pleases to expend without Parliamentary authority. It is hastily assumed by the confiding Parliament and the too confiding people that it is necessary to expend 51. 15s. Bed. on every 1001. collected of Customs duties, 51. 7s. 1 led. on every 1001. of Ex cise duties, 21. 3s. 7id. on every 100/. of stamps, Si. 3s. 3d. on every 1001. of taxes, and 21. 18s. 2d. on every 1001 of revenue from the Crown lands —or, in cluding " other payments," which we think ought to be included—to expend 120/. on every 1001. obtained from Crown lands. Butathere is no other reason for assuming such an expenditure to be necessary except the statement of the officials. If the stamps can be collected (and nobody supposes there are not plenty of clerks and other officials in the Stamp-office), at 2/. 3s. 7id. par cent , why should the Customs cost Si. 15s. and the Excise 51. 7s. 1 led. ? The Go vernment has complete power over its debtors, and it is only a carelessness of what it expends—or a love of expenditure—that can make it expend more than double the sum in collecting 1001. of Customs and Ex cise duties than in collecting 1001. of stamp duties. Both the chief Customs and all the Excise duties are collected on a few articles in great masses and at a few spots, while th© collection of the stamp duties is spread all over the kingdom. Prima facie it might be inferred, therefore, that the two former would be collected at a cheaper rate than the latter. But it has pls,ased the gentlemen who collect the Customs and Excise to be dreadfully suspicious of every tax-payer and every tax collector, and of every person who might have a tax to pay, and so they have multiplied guards and checks to prevent an evasion of payment or a collusion to evade peement between their own officers and ethers, and have introduced a complicated system, which is at once annoying, vexatious, costly, and,. as we know frol ex perience, wofully ineffective.

Turning to my Analysis, TOM TAYLOR'S lot is the next that catches my eye. It consists of Lady Evelyn, Gladiole, Ellar, and the Jemima filly. The first named, it is said, will represent the stable; and as Nat will probably have the mount, all that can be done for her will be accomplished; but lam afraid it will not enable her to obtain a victory. FOBERT has Hippolytus and Lueio, neither of which possesses any chance of winning. GILL has Neasham and Bird on The former is re ported scratched, or at - least a declared non-starter. I believe there is some little truth in the rumour; but whether or no matters little, as he possesses no earthly hopes of winning. Bird on the Wing is a fine slashing filly, and may possibly run very forward in the race. She is reported to have left thi s sta bl e e i t h er t o b e tried with something else, or consequent oa a change of owflership. S&UNDERS' string comprises no less than v:z., Goldfinder, Le Juif, Trickstr , ss, Ringleader, The Castle, Sally, and Mary Ann. Ringleader, I imagine, will be the repre sentative of this stable. I entertain but a small estimate of his chance, however. The three years old Sally, f 3 -stt. does not look amiss, but others of her, own age 111 - the race will keep her safe.
