MONEY -- MARKE;T AN f) COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A firmer tone is perceptible to-day in discount circles, an increase having taken place in the num ber of inquiries at the Bank of England as well as in other quarters. Those, however, who require ac commodation can still obtain it on the best bills of three months' date at a fraction under the official minimum. On the continent discounts are in most instances slightly easier than in this country, 3 per cent. being at present the lowest charge in Paris, Hamburg, Frankfort, and Amsterdam ; and 3i per cent. in Brussels and Berlin. Though a moderate businesslis in course of nego tiation in the Money Market and at the Stock Ex change, the attendance in the City to-day is com paratively small, owing to the brilliancy of the Weather, and the desire usually manifested at this Period of the year to take recreation. Subjoined is Messrs. Layton and Co.'s tea circu lar :—There has been no amount of business during the past fortnight to influence the value of this article in any special degree; trade has continued in a fairly satisfactory state, and buyers generally have b een disposed to operate, although not on a large scale, at fully previous quotations. Since the 26th Mt. numerous transactions have taken place in the shipping kinds of black tea, and prices for common black and red leaf Congou have slightly proved ; with this exception, th e mar k e t has undergone no particular change ; home dealers buying somewhat sparingly of the better classes, which remain much as last advised. Son chong—b, flowery Pekoes, and Oolongs are heavy of sale, but there has been a good demaad for the finer descriptions of uncoldured Japan at higher prices, for shipment to America. Good and fine scented teas are now scarce. The trade have taken off true Moyune gunpowders and young hysons at full Prices ; other kinds of green continue quiet at the reduction lately established. Public sale of 27,879 Packages were commenced on the sth inst., 20,529 bein g offered without reserve ; these auctions opened flatly, but proceeded with fair spirit, the Prices realised showing no material alteration from those previously current by private con tract ; ordinary dusty siftings sold at Bd. to 8 1d., and good common black leaf congou is. Oid. to Is. Oid. per lb. ; about 3,000 boxes of common Canton Green Tea, " with all faults," brought from Bd. to 94d. per lb., and several parcels of very low quality of indirect import under the valuations. The latest dates from China are— Foochow 12th Jay, Shanghai 15th, Canton 20th, Hong Kong 22d. The stock in the United King dom on the Ist instant amounted to about 85,831,000 lbs. against 88,527,000 last year at the c orresponding period. The arrivals to this port since the 25th are-28th " Antipodes," and 29th " Vanguard," from Shanghai. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. itentes were Of. 32c. Early in the day the Funds were a little flatter, but since the tone of business has improved, and all the markets have closed with a very satisfactory appearance. Consols have left off at the prices current yesterday afternoon, viz., at 89 : 1 for money, and at 90 for the account. A little business is recorded in the Reduced Annuities, but the New Three per Cents. are quite nominal in the absence of dealings. Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis. to 2s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cent. Enfaced De bentures, 99i 100. In the Foreign Market the changes in prices Since yesterday afternoon are of very little impor tance. Mexican, however, are flatter at 24i ; and the New, 23/- e. In Greek there has been no alteration ; Italian closed dull at 25 ; and the Confederate Loan has not experienced any altera tion. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been to a fair extent, but prices in a few instances have shown less firmness. Great Western have declined ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, South 'Wes tern, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, each ; and Metropolitan, 1 ; while Midland and South Eastern have each improved I, and Great Eastern I. The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained Without any material change in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been dealt In to a fair extent at steady rates. London Joint- Stock have improved to 50 I ; Union of Australia, to 55 f- 56 ; and Scottish Australian Investment, to 126. The following are the current quotations of some of the principal new undertakings :—The New Issue of 50,000 Preference Shares of £5 each of the Atlantic Telegraph, 2k 2i per share ; Transatlantic Steam Ship Company's Shares, 22k prem. ; Over end, Gurney, and Company, 31 3i prem.

BOP-STREET. THE ROBBERY AT MESSRS. MAPLE.—The man Harris, a a polisher, in the service of Messrs. Maple, of Tottenham court-road, was this morning again placed at the bar, be fore Mr. Flowers, charged with robbing his employers to a large amount, and Samuel Tyrell and his wife, Eliza Tyrell, were charged with receiving the stolen property. The goods stolen consisted of woollen table cloths and other property, which the prisoner Harris conveyed away at different times when he had access to the place where it was warehoused. Mr. Flower committed all these prisoners for trial. A MARKET AMAZON.—EIIen Macarty was charged with assaulting one of the growers attending Covent-garden Market. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner went up to the prosecutor and asked for some beans her husband had purchased of him ; he said he did not know anything of the matter, and told her to go away. She refused, and he pushed her very slightly away. No sooner had he (lone so than she "pitched into" him right and left, and he had to call a constable to take her into custody. The prisoner denied the charge, and said the com plainant struck her first. Some witnesses having been examined, Mr. Flower sentenced her to pay a fine of 55., or four days' imprisonment. The prisoner—l won't pay, and I won't go to prison Can't you reduce the fine ; come, say half-a-crown. (Laughter.) The magistrate refused the request of the prisoner, and she was locked up, exclaiming against the injustice of her sentence. Terrible Murder at Sea. At half past 12 o'clock, on Thursday morning the Nymph, of Montrose, was brought into Stonehaven harbour, with the dead body of the captain, who had been brutally mur dered by the mato of the vessel—Andrew Brown—between five and six o'clock the previous evening, when off the Red Head, near Arbroath. The vessel left Montrose for London about one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, with a crew of four men on board, consisting of the captain and mate, and two ordinary seamen, named respectively John Pert and Alex. Raeburn. Pert and Raeburn were both shipped at Montrose for the voyage, but they say that Brown, the alleged murderer, has been about seven months with the vessel. Everytliin i g appeared to go ou smoothly up to the time of the murder, and there appeared to bo no disturbance or ill-feeling between the master and mate. The vessel was off the Red Head, and the unfortunate victim was lying near the stern of the vessel. Pert was bending over the tiller of the vessel and steering her, while Raeburn was forward engaged at some other duty, when the murderer came in stealthily behind Pert, and with an axe about four feet long made three fearful gashes on the master's head, but before he could be arrested, kill ing him instantaneously. Pert was for a moment stunned by the appalling event, but on recovering himself he wrenched the axe from the murderer's hands and threw it overboard. T he murderer's approach was also screened, it would appear, by the mainsail of the vessel, which was between him and Pert, but indeed the affair appears to have been so sudden and unexpected that it might have been perpetrated with out any shelter. After committing the deed, Brown raved and swore that he would kill them all; and on Raeburn attempting to go aloft to signal the Union, of Montrose, which was not far from them, Brown threatened to kill him if he did not desist. On getting quieter he said to them, " that it was a good thing the axe was taken from him and thrown away, else he might have murdered them both also." The men say he also endeavoured to get them to agree with him to throw the body into the sea and say it fell overboard, but they declined having anything to do with such a transaction. He then ordered them to clean away the blood about the deck, as he did not like to see it. Ho also spoke of throwing himself overboard, but that he wished to see his mother. Pert and Raeburn tried to steer the vessel for Montrose, but Brown would not let them, and they then bore to the north, and when off Stonhaven, signalled tor a pilot, to which Brown acquiesced, saying he would go in to see his mother, he, it appears; being a native of that place. On the vessel coming into the har bour, Brown immediately set off home, where he was shortly after apprehended by the police and lodged in the lock up. Singularly enough, the pilot who went off to the vessel was an uncle of the murderer, and the first words he heard were from his nephew, who informed him that he had killed the captain. The captain's name is John Greig (son of the owner of the vessel), belonging to Montrose. He was a slight-made man, apparently between 20 and 30 years of age. There were three fearful gashes about his face and head several inches in length; one of them extends the whole length of his face on the right side, another crosses his forehead well up on the scalp, while a third comes down in a slanting direction from the left ear. His face, hands, and vest were smeared with blood. There is little doubt but that the first blow had killed him, as he lay stretched on his back on the deck, on the right side of the rudder of the vessel, appa rently as he had laid down to sleep, and as the untimely hand of death had found him. The alleged murderer, Brown, is also a young man about the same age, but rather stouter than his victim, and un married, having a mother residing at Stonehaven. When arrested he made little or no resistance, and wo understand simply and unconcernedly remarked—" It was me that did the deed, but I have seen my mother, and hope I will see her again." His mother is a widow. It appears he is of a violent, quarrelsome disposition, and when under the influence of drink acts like a perfect madman. The two men on board who reported the above facts appeared to be perfectly sober. Two of the police remained on board the vessel during the night, and the Procurator-Fiscal was also down for some time. On Thursday forenoon an examination of the body was made by Drs. Martin and Thom, in presence of Sheriff Dove Wilson and the Procurator-Fiscal. It is stated that the captain bailed the mate out at Montrose before leaving that port. Brown was examined on Thursday at Stonehaven, in presence of Sheriff Dove Wilson, by the Procurator-Fiscal of Aberdeen and Mr. White, Aseistant Procurator for For farshire. The prisoner, after being duly cautioned, made a clean breast of the matter, describing the manner in which he perpetrated the fearful deed, and his motive for doing so. lie was committed to Stonehaven prison in the meantime, until the opinion of Crown counsel is taken as to the parties having jurisdiction in the case.

THE PRIVATE INQUIRY SYSTEM.—The Govern ment have, it is understood, taken this system in hand with a view to, as far as in their power, suppress it. Ono—in fact the chief of those offices—was conducted by Ifr. Field, a retired detective inspector of the metropolitan police force. It is - understood that in consequence of some proceedings of those employed in Mr. Field's inquiry offices certain parties felt themselves aggrieved, and applied to Sir George Grey upon the subject, who communicated with Mr. Field, and it would appear that as no satisfactory ar rangement could bo come to respecting his retiring from the office in question, the pension which Mr. Field had been receiving was stopped, on which communications were again opened between Sir George Grey and that per son, and we now learn that the pension is now restored to Mr. Field, and that he has altogether ceased to have any connection with inquiry offices. The principal one that remains is conducted by a foreigner, whose name has been many times before the public, and who is known to have for some time belonged to the foreign police, but his office is more of a commercial and political character than do mestic. A VALUABLE RELIC OF NELSON.—One of the most costly and interesting relics of the above named gallant admiral is still extant in the possession of a gentleman residing at Cheam in Sur re y. Th e same con sists of a small golden pyramid, comp ose d o f t h e id ent i cal 84 guineas which were found in the admiral's escritoir when he so gloriously fell in the arms of victory at the memorable battle of Trafalgar, on the 21st day of October, 1805. After Nelson's death these coins fell into the hands of Alexander Davison, Esq., of St. Jamea's-squara t London, the intimate friend and navy agent of the hero of the Nile and who, as a mark of lasting respect to his gallant friend, caused this pyramid to be constructed out of the coins, in a quadrilateral form, each side containing the compliment of 21 guineas. Upon tho oceasionpf Mr. Davison becoming involved, some years afterwards, the relic under considera tion was, among other property forming a portion of that unfortunate gentleman's estate, sold under the hammer by the eminent auctioneers of the day, the Messrs. Fare brother, and the pyramid adverted to was at that period purchased at the sale by a relative of its present possessor. With it aro four large volumes, elegantly bound in purple morocco, containing the whole of Nelson's original de spatches ; these important missals were primitively stereo typed on vellum by "Bentley," especially for the service of Mr. Davison:; the only other copy of this work was in the possession of the late eminent collector of antiquities, Mr. Beckford, of Fonthill Abbey, and is now it the British Museum.— Waterford Mail.

SYSTEMATIC UTTERING OP COUNTERFEIT COlN.—William Hambleton, of 15, Broad-street, Woolwich, and Catherine Babb, of 18, Newton-street, Holborn, charwoman, were brought before Mr. Knox, charged with knowingly uttering a counterfeit shilling to Eliza Mudd, barmaid to Mr. Alfred Pamphillon, of Pamphillon's Restaurant, Argyle-street, Regeut-ctreet and a second prnint.rfeit shittin g to "Filen Kennett, barmaid to Mr. Robert Hamlin, of the Pantheon Restaurant, Oxford-street. The shillinguttered by the male prisoner at Mr. Pamphil lon's being bad, the proprietor followed him and saw him joined by the female prisoner, and afterwards leave her and go into the Pantheon Restaurant, and having ascertained that he had tendered a bad shilling there, leaving the liquor he had called for behind, and hastily leaving with the change, Mr. Pamphillon followed the prisoners and gave them into custody. Boden, one of the officers of the court, said the male prisoner had been charged before with a similar offence, but discharged. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, that the Mint autho. rities may bo communicated with. THAMES. DESPERATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—James Sullivan, a tall, thin, and consumptive-looking man, who is better known by the name of Irish Jack, and is well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Paget on remand, charged with assaulting and robbing Giovanni De Bogner, an Italian seaman. The prosecutor was a ship carpenter. He was in Rat cliff Highway on Wednesday morning last, at half-past 10 o'clock, and stopped to look at a fight between two women. The prisoner, who was close to him, began to draw his watch and gold chain from his pocket, and then suddenly made a snatch at the watch and ran away with it. The Italian caught the prisoner by the neek and grasped him tightly. The prisoner struck the Italian on the breast and knocked him down. The prisoner then ran away with the watch and chain. He was pursued by another Italian and captured. The watch and chain, worth £9 10s., were recovered. B. Argingo, a Spaniard, confirmed tho evidence of the Italian. In the cross-examination of the witnesses by the pri soner, it was elicited that the prisoner tore the prosecutor's waistcoat in dragging the chain and watch from him. The prisonor said he was nearly killed by the foreigners, who dragged him into an oyster shop and all but pulled his head off. Davy, a police -sergeant, No. 3 H, said there was a long list of convictions against the prisoner. Mr. Paget disposed of the case summarily on a plea of guilty, and sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprison ment and hard labour. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—EIIen Allen, a woman fashionably-attired, about 30 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with obtaining £1 10s. under false pre tences. Mr. John Wray, 57, Cambridge-street, Pimlico, grocer and oilman, said, that on Thuroday- week tho prioonor came to his shop and asked him if he would oblige her with change for a cheque for £lO 10s., as her husband was going into the country and wanted cash. He at first demurred, stating that he was unacquainted with her, and she then told him that she was an old customer in the habit of sending to his shop, and was a housekeeper, re siding at 23, Sutherland-street, Pimlico. He grte her two £5 notes and 10s., and she went away. Ho paid the cheque to one of his tradesmen, and it was subsequently returned marked "No effects." Prosecutor went to 23, Sutherland-street, and found that prisoner was not known there. He subsequently traced her to 22, Warwick-place, when she said that he would be paid the money if he took the cheque to Mr. Howard, 1, Air-street, Piccadilly, in whose favour it was drawn. He went there, but Mr. Howard, who had offices there, was not in the way. Mr. Arnold—How do you know that she obtained the money fraudulently ? What was there fraudulent in her behaviour? Prosecutor—She gate a false address, and also that she was a housekeeper. Prisoner—lle makes a mistake. I said "33, Sutherland street," where I lodged. Prosecutor—She did live there, but is not living with her husband. I parted with my money upon the faith of this being a good cheque, and when I went to the bank ing house, Prescott and Co., they said they had had many such—and I also believed that she kept the house. Mr. Arnold was about to remand her, when it was stated that Mr. Howard wished to give evidence. Mr. Howard, of 1, Air-street, said he had received the cheque from Mr. Ivanhoff, from whom he had had others duly honoured. He gave it to prisoner to get changed, as he was short of cash, on the occasion of a visit to her. He had not the least suspicion that there would be any trouble about it, and he was now prepared to take the cheque up. Mr. Arnold said, under these circumstances, he should discharge the prisoner. Mr. Wray received his money. SOUTHWARK. PICKING POCKETS. —Thomas Jones, aged 15, was charged before Mr. Burcham, this day, with stealing a handker chief, value 35., the property of Mr. G. F. Pollock, one of the masters of the Court of Exchequer. Mr. Pollock said that yesterday afternoon, about ten minutes past five o'clock, he was passing by Cross-street, near Christ Church, Blacktriars-road, when he put his hand in his pocket and discovered that his handkerchief, which he had used only a few minutes before, was gone. He saw the prisoner and another boy walking before him, and he followed them, being convinced that one of them must be the thief, no other persons being near him at the time. He threw his arms round them both, and said, "I'll trouble you for my handkerchief." (A laugh.) The prisoner then handed the handkerchief to the other boy, who threw it qown, and, while ho was stooping to pick it up, the latter succeeded in escaping from him. The prisoner strongly protested his innocence, asserting that it was his companion who took the handkerchief from the "gent's" pocket. Mr. Burcham remanded the prisonor till Tuesday next, in order that inquiries might be made respecting him. ARREST OF A COlNER.—Edmund Webb, a shabbily dressed man, apparently about 40, was charged with having in his possession several pieces of counterfeit coin and im plements for coining. James Bradnen said that he was occasionally employed by the authorities of the Mint, and from information which he received he went this morning about half past six, ac companied by Inspector Raymond and other policemen, to the house No. 57, Kent-street. He and the policemen went upstairs, and found the prisoner in a room. He said " You are suspected of coining, and I have got a warrant for your apprehension." The prisoner replied, " All right —you will find what you want here." On searching the room he found two plaster of Paris moulds, one for casting florins and the other for shillings ; also, a ladle, which stood on a table before the grate. The police, on searching the house, discovered several bottles con taining acid, and a wire which had been dipped in solution, which was used for the purpose of suspending the coin while it was undergoing the process of coating. The police found 37 counterfeit sixpences and 3 Grins, which had been rubbed with a mixture of lampblack and grease to give them a dull appearance. The implements specified and some others were pro duced. The prisoner, who made no defence, was then remanded until Friday next. FOUNDATION OF A NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH BY ARCHBISHOP MANNlNG.—Yesterday Dr. Manning, Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, laid the foundation stone of a new Catholic church at Brentford. The cere mony was carried out with great grandeur, and performed in the presence of an immense number of persons. The Archbishop wore his archiepiscopal robes and the mitre, and carried in his hand the crosier. After the usual prayers and chants, the stone was lowered to its place, and the Archbishop having marked the sign of the cross upon it in several places and sprinkled it with holy water, offered up a prayer in Latin that the building which was that day founded should render good service to the Church. The building is be Gothic, and of ornamental brick.—Post. , 57} 811 I ,ITIES. THE STABLE MOUSE. I can see nothing in the race with the most remote chance of beating the FRENCH HORSE. With the excep tion of Regalia, a daughter of Stockwell, and winner of the Oaks, I can select not a competitor likely even to extend him. She, with an effort, may make him gallop, but not fast enough to leave the issue for one moment in doubt. BEACON—Sporting Gazette. The remainder of the field will comprise the four fillies —Klarinska, Regalia, Peeress, and Zephyr —and what of them? Just this, that Klarinska and Regalia cannot be regarded otherwise than as one and the same, for the former won the Yorkshire Oaks quite as easily as did Regalia the Epsom Oaks, and as Peeress beat Kla rinska at Goodwood it is impossible to whip the three apart, while Zephyr's performance in the Ascot Cup eight lengths behind Ely and General Peel in their cele brated dead heat, leaves room to infer that Baron Roths child's may turn out as good as any of the trio. But, nevertheless, I do not believe that any of them can pre vent GLADIATEUR from emulating the fame of West Australian, who alone has secured the triple crown; and I am so doubtful of what has been the best chance of securing second honours that I must leave those who bet on places to make their own selections, merely hinting that my leaning is towards Christmas Carol and Klarinska, because we have seen both get the distance in respectable company, while the field behind Regalia was at the time she won the Oaks so rotten from sexual causes there is no depending on that race as a criterion of merit. TROUBADOUR. So, all you that are wise Attend to my advice, There is but GLADIATEUR in the race ; So be quick and "put it down," Your "monkey" or your " crown," And back the gay Klarinska for a place ! SITIEMS. But if I must speak clear, Then ! oh dear! and oh dear ! Is there ne'er a word ending in " inska," Discarding the " crack," I shall go for "all black," For John Scott, Mr. Bowes, and KLARINSKA ! PEEPING TOM. "Should any ither swell the field, They'll be but in each other's way, And if they're prudent they will wait To see their weight' some ither day ; For if the Frenchman's fit and well, He'll lead them aw a pretty danco, And I shall wi' our allies stand Sao GLADIATEUR, and Vivo La France !" AUGUR—Sporting Life. When the numbers of the first three are displayed, the fortunate trio who have obtained the most honourable " places" will be found to correspond with this ultimatum, and public form once more vindicated : GLADIATEUR 1 REGALIA 2 KLARINSXA 3 The Field. Finally summing up our anticipations of the St. Leger, we must give it as our conviction that, notwithstanding the stories which have been put about with reference to the Derby winner, as we know he is well and meant, GLADIATEuR and no other will win. OBSERVER—The Sportsman. I consider that nothing but his going amiss can prevent GLADIATEUIt adding the St. Leger to his previous victories ; but it is far from so easy a task to point out what is likely to obtain second honours. As recent public form is the best guide, it may be best to stick to KLARINSKA. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LEICESTER RACES-FRIDAY.

From the well-known character of the late Mr. John Osborne's stud, and the manner in which the two-year-olds, Blue Riband and Lord of the Vale (both trained at Ashgill), ran at York, much interest was created among buyers on the announcement of the sale, and they assembled pretty numerously from all parts of the kingdom. Several foreigners were also in attendance, Austria being repre sented by Col. de Butze, whose face has been for some period as familiar at our great sales of blood stock, as a purchaser of brood mares, as that of any English buyer. The veteran Mr. Ransom (who was half-brother to Mr. Osborne), the Queen's stud-groom at Hampton Court, came down on Tuesday, and, though far on the wrong side of 70, he was as active as any man present. Mr. Lumley, of the King's Head Hotel, Epsom, formerly a trainer, and the inventor of a very unique safety-box for the shipment of horses, or conveying them with more security by railway, was also present. Mr. W. Day, Mr. Mackenzie, Mr. R. Hill, Mr. Oldacre, and other well-known buyers, arrived in the neighbourhood the night before the first day's sale, and beds were very scarce, particularly at the Bolton Arms, Ley burns, and Swale's Hotel, Middlesham. Mr. Fobert enter tained a large party at Spigot Lodge, and the veterans, T. Rawson had his house full at Tupgill, while Messrs. Chal loner (the jockey), S. Barrow, and James Ridley, of Bellerby (three of the late Mr. Osborne's sons-in-law) had beds made up and the best of accommodation for old friends of the family. Tho morning was beautiful in the extreme, and the sun shone brilliantly throughout the day, rendering the splendid scenery in the midst of which the establish ment is situated very interesting and enjoyable. A large marquee was erected on the lawn in front of the comfort able homestead adjoining the stables, in which a most recherché luncheon (embracing every delicacy of the season) was served, with champagne ad libitum. Mr. Edmund Tattersall officiated, and had his rostrum pitched in the middle of a field adjoining the premises, and as the time drew near for the commencement of the sale many farmers and several of the gentry of the neighbourhood assembled to take a parting look at the horses. The sale commenced at about 1 o'clock, Mr. Tattersall making a very neat speech, laudatory of the well-known judgment of the late respected breeder, and stating empha tically that every lot would be sold without reserve. The first lot was a small two-year-old gelding, by Lambton, out of Queen of Troy, which, after some shy bidding, was knocked down to Mr. Bragg for 12 guineas. Messrs, llolmes, Micklethwaite, and Bragg (the latter buying Lady Abbess cheap for a brood mare at 62 guineas) made some cheap purchases at the commencement. Mr. James Ridley also purchased Gaily, a nice, short-legged, compact, well made mare (whose ultimate destination is the stud), very cheap at 155 guineas. King Arthur (sold for 2,000 guineas as a two year old to the Duke of Cleveland, and repurchased at the sale of that nobleman's stud at Newmarket for 550 guineas) created a little more animation among the assem bly, but, although a very powerful and well-formed horse, he showed such decided symptoms of decay in his fore fetlock joints that he was finally sold to Mr. Darley (a patron of the stable) for 175 guineas. Xi, a colt by General Williams, out of Lambda, of extraordinary size and great muscular power, on short, well-formed legs and capital feet, in every way likely to make a horse of great character, created a lot of opposition, and was eventually sold to Mr. Darley for 2,100 guineas. He is a hard bay, with black legs, and the moment he was brought out of the ring, he broke loose, and showed off his points to great advantage, but was soon caught. Dark Agnes, a very clever-looking, short-legged two-year-old, that has never run, was very cheap to Mr. John Peart at 220 guineas. The yearlings were, as a whole, an extraordinarily good lot, particularly noticeanie 101" their very powerful loins, muscular quarters, capital arms, and good legs. A very good-looking colt, by Van Galen, with a deal of use about him, Mr. I'Anson took for 300 guineas ; and Mr. W. Day went up to 520 guineas for Alexander, by Musjid, out of Agnes, by Clarton, a very handsome, symmetrical, and racing-like colt from head to heels. He is a brown, with a star in his face, and three white legs, and he is in every way likely to train into a first-rate horse. The horses in training owned by Captain Cathcart were next offered, the first lot being. Prince Arthur, and he came up with charges on his fore legs, being bought in for 290 guineas. Blue Riband was also bought in for 2,900 guineas. Jezebel went back for 350, Trump Card for 190, Lord of the Vale 850, Haphazard 300, and Breffni for 135 guineas. LATEST DONCASTER SCRATCHINGS.—PIanet, Menace, Carthusian, Harridan filly, and Bedminster out of their Doncaster engagements. Accident out of the Great York shire Handicap. EXTENSION OF THE WORCESTER AUTUMN MEETING TO THREE DAYS.—Tho liberal patronage for many years ac corded to the Worcester Meetings having placed a hand some balance on the right side, the committee, to afford the racing public a participation thereof, have resolved to ex tend the forthcoming autumn gathering to three days. There will be half a dozen items per diem, including two hurdle races, a new two mile Hunters' Race over the flat, as also the Grand Stand Plate of 100 sovs, one mile, and four steeplechases, the Grand Annual being reserved for the last day. In the aggregate the added money, inclusive of the Earl of Coventry's contribution to the Severn Bank Stakes, amounts to 180 sovs. " TOUTING" AT WOODYATES AND THE "TIP."-At Cran borne Petty Sessions, before G. Churchill, Esq. (chairman), Colonel Napier Sturt, M.P., and Major Portman, George Bollen, an apprenticed training boy, in the service of Mr. Wm. Day, the well-known trainer, was summoned by his master for disobedience and disclosing the secrets of his master, contrary to his indenture. It appears the defendant was under indentures of apprenticeship to learn the pro fession of a jockey, and from a letter which fell into Mr. Day's hands, wrongly directed to the defendant, and which contained a £5-note, it seemed that the defendant was in the habit of giving information to some betting men of the merits of particular race horses. All this was proved, and acts of disobedince in the stable. The bench were advised that the caso was within the statute, and, considering the defendant was deserving of punishment, committed him to two months' hard labour to the Ifouse of Correction at Dorchester. At Annan Races, on Friday week, a jockey, named Har rison, was killed in consequence of being thrown by the horse (Measure for Measure) he was riding. The accident was caused by a shepherd's dog rushing across the course while the horses were running, and getting among the legs of Harrison's horse. The same jockey was thrown while riding Miss Pickle at Carlisle. THE CAMBRIDOESIUBLE STAKES.— We are requested to correct an error that was inadvertently made in a contem porary with respect to Vanquisher's weight in the above race. The horse actually carries 6st 91b, and not Bst 91b, as was at first accidentally printed. LICHFIELD, 1866.—T0 the noblemen and gentlemenpub lished as having already accepted the stewardship of this meeting next year, we are requested to add the name of Alderman Copeland, one of the oldest Hying patrons of Lichfield races. THE GREAT YORKSHIRE STAKES.—The York race com mittee have decided upon giving 200 sovs to the stake for 1868. It is for foals of the present year, and closes on Tuesday, Oct. 3. _ _ _ Wynnstay, from some delay on the road, not arriving at Leicester in time for the Queen's Plate, was struck out of that event at 3.5 p.m. on Friday. WALLACE.—This horse, the winner of the Goodwood Stakes, will stand on view in the yard adjoining the pad dock with Lord Scarborough's yearlings during the Don caster week. We are glad to hear that C. Booth, the jockey, who sus tained a fracture of the leg while riding in the Tunbridge Handicap, is progressing very favourably. Stoic, 2 yrs, after winning and being bought in at War wick on Tuesday last, was sold privately to Lord West moreland for 200 gs, and goes into T. Cliff's stables. INDIAN STAR.—WC are authorised by the owner of this horse to state that he was not scratched for the Brighton Nursery as announced. Sentinel, the winner of the South Eastern Railway Stakes at Margate and the Lord Warden Stakes at Dover, has gone into W. Burbidge's stables at Smitham Bottom. SALE OF CLAXTON.—This notorious horse has been pur chased by Mr. Walkeley, and is gone into H. Hadley's stables at Prestbury, near Cheltenham. In consequence of Mr. William Day having now so many horses in training, those belonging to himself will shortly be brought to the hammer by Messrs. Tattersall. Lansdowne is about to leave Danebury to be trained at Newmarket for his engagements. Mr. Montague has named the two year old filly by St. Albans out of Lady Kingston, Lady Mary, and sold her to go to Germany. Upton-upon-Severn Steeple Chases will take place on Friday, Nor. 8, being the day after the Worcester Autumn Meeting. John Nightingall has purchased Duenna, and she has joined his string. Mr. Abron has sold Proctor, and he has left J. Nightin gall's stables. Lady Mary, 4 yrs, was destroyed at Leicester on Thurs day last. Athelstano has been added to the list of geldings. FALL OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE AT BIRMINGHAM.— The Great Western Company yesterday sustained another loss by the partial destruction of one of its bridges in Birmingham, the accident being attended with serious injuries to one man only, though it is astonishing that no more have suffered either loss of life or injury to limb. The scene of the occurrence is known as Livery-street Bridge, the line of the Great Western Railway passing on a diagonal line beneath Livery -street at this point. The roof of the bridge is formed of large iron girders, supported on strong brick arches, and between it and the street pavement are courses of brick and a mass of soil. At present there seems nothing to account for the accident, a great portion of one end of it having given way with no Warning whatever. From Snow-hill Station a high brick wall rnzs by the side of the line, protecting it from the street ; and from the direction taken by the line at the end of the bridge fariSest from the railway station, a portion of this wall was over H the railway. The fall of the bridge, which took place about 10 minutes to five in the afternoon, was observed by a great many persons in the neighbourhood, who at first thought several of the foot passengers in the street must have fallen with the mass of iron, soil, and brickwork. The wall was observed to totter, and then a great portion of that side of the roadway over the end of the bridge was seen to fall in, a tremendous crash alarming the people at a considerable distance, who were quite unaware of the cause. It was soon seen that one of the large and several of the smaller girders had given way, and having broken in several pieces, had fallen on the rails, leaving a great gap in the street, and tearing the masonry on each side. Sergeant Heavering, of the Birmingham police force, was within a very short distance when the fall took place, and he noticed that one man was passing along the footway, and had fallen with the mass of material, which there was much reason to fear would have crushed or stifled him. The first thing done by the police sergeant was to send a messenger to Snow-hill and Hockley stations, in order that the railway officers there might prevent any trains coming in the direction of the damaged bridge until the line was cleared, and he then sought assistance to extricate the unfortunate man, who lay almost completely buried amid the debris in which he had sunk. It was found that his name was John Huxtable, a traveller, living in Cox street, and that he had sustained a fracture of the thigh and a lacerated face. These injuries were at once attended to, and there is every likelihood that the case will progress f vourably.—Birmingham Post. RECENT WILLS AN,D BEQUESTS. Probate of the will of the Right Hon.
