MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Excessive quietude prevails in the Stock Ex change, the Money Market, and the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. In all these quarters business is dull, and there appears no likelihood of an early revival. In discount circles there is a very plentiful supply of floating capital, and although the rates are easy at 41 and 41 per cent. for the negotiation of the best paper, the requirements of the commercial public are comparatively trifling, and the inquiry for accommodation is therefore very limited. At the Stock Exchange quotations have varied, although only to a slight extent. The Funds are a little weak upon the settlement, which will be concluded to-morrow. Consols are 89k I for money, and 89; k for November. To-morrow (Tuesday) is expected to be issued the report of the Committee of Investigation of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company. The bullion operations at the Bank of England on Saturday afternoon were of an . unimportant character. The reports from several of the principal manu facturing districts state that during the past week business has slightly improved. At Manchester the operations in both cloths and yarns have been to a moderate extent, and prices have ruled a shade higher. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the dealings in autumn and winter goods have been to a fair extent, while more anima tion has prevailed in the hoisery and lace depart ments of Leicester and Nottingham. In the hard ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton, however, there has been little change of importance, and in some branches the operatives are only partially employed. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris, to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 85c. Quiet. In the Corn Market this morning English wheat is is. to 2s. lower than on Monday last. The English Stock Market shows steadiness in prices, although very few bargains have been re corded. Consols are 89f 1 for money, and 891 for November. The New Threes and Reduced are 864 87. E ; India Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1001 I ; and ditto Debentures, 5 per Cents.; 1011. Exche quer Bills, 2s. dis. to 3s. prem: The only movement of importance which has taken place in the prices of Foreign Stocks is a decline of 1 per cent. in Italian, which has fallen to 541; Spanish Passive have also receded 1, to 21i 4 ; the Certificates f, to 144 s ; Turkish 5 per Cents. are 30f s; Greek, 14f 15 ; and Mexican, 16f. American Securities are steady. United States 5-20 Bonds are 701 4 ; Erie shares, 50f 51} ; and Illinois, 78f 4, Atlantic and Great Western De bentures are 64} 65f ; and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds, 45, 46. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been to a moderate extent, and prices generally are a shade firmer. Great Western, North Western, and Midland have each improved 1, Brighton f, London, Chatham, and Dover 4, and Great Northern, ditto A Stock, and Metropolitan each 1 ; while South Eastern have declined f The Foreign and Colonial lines are very quiet and showing no material change in prices. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are inactive. Alliance, however, remain firm at 194 ; London and Westminster at 91/ 99 ; Union of London at 45f ; London and River Plate have improved to 484, and Imperial Ottoman to 91.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1860. ARCHBISHOP MANNING ON THE PAPACY. Yesterday being " Rosary Sunday," according to the announcement made by Archbishop Manning in his recent Pastoral— a Pastoral having especial re ference, it may be remembered, to the position in which the Temporal Power of the Pope now stands by reason of the famous Convention between France and Italy coming into operation between the 15th of September and the beginning of December next —solemn offices, together with numerous masses and communions, were offered up in behalf of the Sovereign Pontiff by the Catholic congregations of London, and for that matter indeed among the whole body of the Catholics throughout England and Scotland. At the pro-Cathedral of St. Mary's, Moorfields, more especially, the services were con ducted, as under the circumstances was but natural, with more than ordinary solemnity. The Arch bishop assisted pontifically at the High Mass, and preached after the Gospel to a densely crowded and profoundly attentive congregation, composed of Protestants and Catholics amicably mingled together —his sermon, particularly towards the close of it, being most eloquently and, generally throughout it, most impressively appropriate to the occasion. Taking as his text the two opening verses of the thirteenth chapter of St. Paul to the Romans--" Let every soul be subject to higher powers ; for there is no power but from God; and those that are, are ordained of God : therefore he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God : and they that resist purchase to themselves damnation"— [Omnis anima potestatibus sublimioribus subdita sit : non est enirn potestas nisi a Deo : clue autem sunt, a Deo ordinate sunt : itaque qui resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit : qui autem re sistant, ipsi sibi, damnationem acquirunt.]—The Archbishop began by saying that on that day the whole of the Catholic Church in England and Scot land united together in a solemn act of supplication for the Divine protection to the person and the authority of the Vicar of Jesus Christ. And this, moreover, upon a day especially dear and sweet to the heart of every Catholic—the feast of the Rosary full of memories of the perils and victories of Chris tendom, and of gracious interpositions in behalf of the Church of God throughout the world— dear to all alike, to the Pontiff and to the lowliest of the faithful, to the oldest and to the least, to saints and to little children carry ing the string of beads in their hand. In the eyes of the world no dOubt that day, the act in which they were then engaged was as a solemnity of folly. But the foolishness of God was wiser than men. Speaking to the children of the Church, the faithful fervent Catholic piety living strong within them, rendered superfluous the accumulation of rea sons for the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff. Submission to that authority being the instinct of their hearts, they needed no arguments to enforce upon them its recognition. They understood and perceived to the full that the spiritual authority of the Church was a direct institution from Heaven the Temporal Power being afterwards added to it by a Divine ordination. Addressing himself to those, however, among the congregation who were not believers in these matters—he could hardly fail to mitigate the asperity of such as had hitherto not un derstood. On Earth there was no authority, he said, so directly or conspicuously ordained of God as that of the Sovereign Pontiff. And his re liance in being able • to enforce a recognition of this, even upon the minds of dispassionate Pro testants, was based upon the Justice of the cause, upon the Force of Truth, upon the honesty of his fellow-countrymen, but beyond all, upon the working of the ineffable grace of God. The words of the Holy Ghost Himself protected the Sovereign Pontiff upon earth. The authority of the Papacy was two-fold ; first of all, purely spiritual, but afterwards mingled or blended with temporal autho rity. No one could resist with impunity the sentence of the apostle. The words of the Holy Ghost indi cate that this Power is a Power ordained of God— " Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." But the v ery first conclusion to be drawn in regard to all Power he maintained was, that the Power was ordained of God. It was first spoken of the Empire of Rome, steeped in the blood of the Saints, that old Roman Empire to which though pagan the disciples of our Lord were told by Him that they owed obedience. How much more must that be said of every Christian authority throughout the world. In effect all authority came, not from Universal Suffrage, not from plebiscite, but from the author of human Society, that is from God. Comparing the crime of Treason, as opposed to Authority, to Heresy as opposed to Truth, and to Schism as opposed to Unity, he maintained that if society were of man without God's authorization, then by necessity th e highest civil crime lost its highest guilt. Treason, sedition, re bellion, were more than simply crimes against man —they were sins against God. England, Ireland, and Scotland had become bound together, as they were in one sovereignty growing up like all other earthly powers with a sovereign authority which demands obedience—first Anarchy, then the Rep tarchy, then a Monarchy of three kingdoms, all bound together under one authority by the law of sovereignty. What sovereignty on earth, however, could compete with that of the Papacy, based as it is upon a tradition of a thousand years ? Even in the five preceding centuries it was already grow ing—informal, .no doubt, and incohate. But so likewise was Britain, during the epoch of Saxon anarchy, before its various provinces be came at length united into one new monarchy. Descanting at some length upon the historical evi dences of the wholly exceptional antiquity of the Pontifical power when viewed simply as d Temporal Power among the sovereignties of the world, the Archbishop exposed the notion of depreciating it or setting it aside, so to speak, with three rhymes from Dante. The astounding fact of the transfe rence of the imperial power of Rome, of the ancient pagan Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople, he insisted upon it, had been manifestly caused, as the Roman law declares, by the direct motion or in tervention of God. It arose, he said, from the mani fest unfitness of the two totally distinct and an tagonistic authorities existing in the same city. In Rome was left no Sovereign ruler clothed with power save the Pontiff. The power, the temporal power then devolving upon or assumed by the Pontiff, was the donation of no man—was the gift neither of Pepin nor of Charlemagne. The throne had become vacant then, as he strikingly expressed it, by the visitation of God. He claimed the right of Sovereignty - there by Divine Providence for the Temporal Power—a right confirmed, he said, by possession during a length of time surpassing that which could be claimed by any other sovereignty—confirmed, he would say, by the very disturbances of that possession, proving the right of that possession. No crowned monarch in the world held power reaching back so far, so high, so remotely, as the Sovereign Pontiff. England was delivered over to barbarian anarchy, France was overrun by rude and savage hordes, Germany was a forest, when the Pontiffs were even then reigning in the midst of the already dawning Christian civilization. They were then planting and nurturing the first seeds of this majestic Christendom—now trembling like an arch held together oniy by the keystone of the Spiritual and Temporal Power of the Sovereign Pontiff. If possession confirms then did this one—and posses sion was proverbially among ourselves nine points of the law. Even a wrong, an abuse, a conquest, as was well known, became gilded by possession. And if long possession confirms even a conquest founded on injustice, how much more must it confirm an authority founded originally neither upon conquest nor upon injustice, an authority in its origin bloodless and beneficent ? What authority on earth, in fact, could stand if not upon the existing authority of long possession. Among earthly sovereignties there was no higher authority than the Civil Power. The Sovereign Pontiff's how ever was—it was higher than the Civil Power : for, above the Temporal Power was the Spiritual Power, the Power divinely instituted, the kingdom not of this world, the authority founded upon Peter, upon the Rock, and against which, until the enri .of the world, the gates of hell are not to prevail. The Vicar of Jesus Christ was head and supreme from the commencement or dawn of Christianity. First of all, during three hundred years by martyrdom, his spi ritual empire, extending among men of all languages, climes and countries, embraced within it the mightiest power the world had ever then known, that of the Pagan Empire of Rome, and afterwards of Constantinople. After expatiating at some length alternately upon the Spiritual Power and upon the Temporal Power, and then upon both of them together, as • inexplicably blent during the last ten centuries, the Archbishop re ferred to what he called the mill- wheel of objections revolving perpetually with such oppressive mono tony, and the iterated discharge from which he said it was weary work to have, over and over again, to meet. It was idle, he declared, to confuse the Spiritual and Temporal authority as in any way mutually dependent. For three hundred years the spiritual authority existed alone—the first three hundred years of the Christian dispensation, those three centuries of martyrdom. And now, even though the whole structure of Christendom were to be dissolved, nay, were to lapse again into Paganism—that Spiritual Power would still live on. How could he designate those who imagined that that spiritual authority was in itself in any way dependent upon a strip of territory or upon a heap of bricks and stone called a city. That indestructible authority was before all temporal possessions, and will be after them. The Earthly authority added to the Spiritual, as raiment is to man, was a mere temporal accident for the unity of Christendom, which is thereby knit together in one family of civilised nations under Pastoral authority. That twofold authority, therefore, he defined as transcending all other authorities upon earth. All simply earthly authorities might be . ab dicated by abuse—being, for example, ambitious, aggressive, searching after eonquests. He was not enforcing here what was so often did so contumeliously denounced as the Slavish Doc trine of Passive Obedience. He was asserting, however, that all unlawful resistance to rightful authority was a sin against God. Charges of this kind could never be directed against the Pontiffs. Obedience there, consequently, was in answer to no slavish doctrine—no Pontiff ever having levied aggressive wars, no Pontiff having ever made un just laws, or inflicted excessive and sanguinary pun ishments. Speaking of Pope Pius IX., he espe cially particularised his refined equity and peculiar tenderness of heart, the attributes of a true Pastor. Pius IX. might ask, he said, like Moses, " Whose ox have I taken, Sze." Against him not one of his acts justified the sin of rebellion. If the acts of other weighed in the balance during thel ow a p stth e r r e s could b three centuries, ie s,how would they appear in' comparison?

SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS. MANCHESTER, Saturday Evening. With the close of the proceedings to-day the Congress has accomplished the heavier portion of it businss. The inaugural address this morning was by the Right Hon. Henry A. Bruce, M.P., president of the education department. There was a very large attendance, ancl o The,paper excited a good-deal of interest. - The department in which the liveliest discussion took place was that over which the right hon. gentleman presides. There were voluntary papers by the Rev. Canon Toole, on " Religion an essential element in the school education of the poor;" by the Rev. W. J. Kennedy, on " The conscience clause ;" and the Rev. J. Oakley, on the "Religious difficulty." This opened a very wide field of discus sion, and the subjects were taken up with great in terest. The section sat in the Crown Court, which was nearly filled throughout. There was a large number of ladies present. The dock in this court is very spacious; and as it is one of the best places from which to hear and see, it was given up to the fair sex. The section for the repression of crime continues to form one of the chief attractions. It has been filled throughout, an d this meeting was so largely attended that several c ould not obtain admission. There were paper s by Si r Walter Crofton, C. 8., respecting " Female Convicts, and our efforts to amend them ;" Miss Al. C. Bennett, an interesting statement of the " Working of the Carlisle Manorial Refuge ;" Mr. C. Nicholl, on " Reformatory Work ;" by the Rev. J. Fish, relating to the " Re formatory and Industrial School Acts ;" and an other from the Rev. A. K. M,Callum, on the " Pri son Qualification for Admission into a Reforma tory." The subjects which were brought under no tice in the Health Department were chiefly relating to localities, such as th e high rate of mortality in Liverpool, the rece n t e pidmic of typhus in Aber deen, and one of m ore ge neral application respect ing the attack of c h o l era in the east of London. The latter was from Dr. Bain. There was but a small number in the Nisi Prins Court, which was devoted to the department of economy and trade, although the t o pics set down on the paper were of considerable soc ial importance. The Rev Institutes t S i t o u l liesread theiron e relation upon Ayt o theorkin g Men's Clubs and upper classes and to national progress ; Mr. James Airlie advocated recreative amusement as an agency in social reform ; and one by Mr. Henry Walker, which was a memo randum on the development of wholesale and retail trade in the metropolis, and on the causes of the early closing movement. The other sections had papers brought before them relating to Jamaica and its resources, on building societies, and burial clubs, juvenile emigration ;and the credit system. To-day a supplementary section was held, under the chairmanship of Mr. Thomas Bazley, M.P. It was for the purpose of hearing a paper by Major-General Sir Arthur Cotton, and read by Major-General Fredk. Cotton, upon " Famines in India, their causes aud remedies." It entered into the subject at great length, and stated that famines should be provided against, the same as War, and that full en couragement should be given to irrigation and navi gation. If proper measures were adopted famines in India might be prevented. The works which Go vernment h had already produced the e r e most t beneficial un dertaken result s but much more re- re mained to be accomplished. LAW AND POLICE.—This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. This morning an action was tried in the Sheriffs' Court in which a passenger brought an action against the North London Railway for breach of contract. Tho plaintiff took a ticket at Kew, on the understanding that he was to go by through train to Broad-street. Instead of doing so he was taken as far as Camden, and there he was compelled to change tarriages and wait a considerable time before he could proceed. He ultimately took a cab to Broad-street, and brought this action for the costs. The Commissioner decided in favour of the plantiff. MARKETS.—This Day. 44s 6d per cwt. on the spot.

A person dressed in a scarlet cloak hanging down to his heels was charged with creating a disturbance at West minster Abbey yesterday, during divine service, by utter ing loud exclamations. When asked by the magistrate who and what he was he refused to say a single word. The magistrate ordered him to be detained in custody until some inquiries will be made. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Lane was charged with robbing his father of money and jewellery to a considerable amount. The boy exhibited the greatest , indifference at the charge. The magistrate said he wished he had the power to order him to be whipped,. but as he could not do that, ho would take ime to consider what punishment lie should inflict. MARK LANE. The country markets held on Saturday ruled quiet for wheat, without material change in prices from the previous week. Fine barley ruled firm at full currencies, but me dium qualities were rather cheaper. Oats, beans, and poas moved off steadily at quite late rates. The flour trade ruled firm at full quotations. The French markets continuo firm, and prices have an upward tendency. In other parts of the Continent the trade is steady, and at Russian ports large shipments of produce are in progress of shipment to England. At New York the exports of produce to Europo have as yet boon small. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week was but moderate. The imports from abroad con sisted of 58,271 quarters of wheat, 4,717 barley, 56,545 oats, 15 beans, 50 peas, 1,109 barrels and 4,145 sacks of flour. Tho supply of English wheat on sale at our market to day was but mode►:ate. The condition of the produce was tolerably good. The demand for all qualities ruled very inactive, and a fall of ls. to 2s. per quarter took place iu prices as compared with Monday last. The market was tolerably supplied with foreign wheat. The trade was less active than on Monday last, and the quotations declined is. per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at about late rates. The markee was but moderately supplied with barley Fine qualities were firm in price, but medium and inferior qualities were dull, at drooping currencies. The malt trade was firm, at full quotations. The supply of oats on sale was moderate. Tho demand for most qualities ruled inactive at barely late rates. Beans moved off slowly at last week's cursency. The market was very moderately supplied.

The supply of foreign beasts here to-day was largo, of foreign sheep only moderate. Sales generally progressed steadily at very full prices. . The arrivals of English beasts fresh up this morning exhibited a falling off compared with Monday last. The quality of most breeds, however, was good. The demand ruled firm, at fully last week's quotations, to, in some in stances, an advance of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure was 5s 4d ; the extreme, 5s 6d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,200 shorthorn; &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 16 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 70 oxen and heifers. For the time of year the supply of sheep was very mode rate. The mutton trade was consequently firm, and prime Downs and half-breds realised 2d per 81bs. more money. The highest quotation was 6s 4d per 81bs. English breeds were for the most part in fair condition. Calves, the show of which was only moderate, were in steady request at very full prices, viz., from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per 81bs.

BETTING ON THE COURSE, CESAREWITCM 100 to 6 agst La Favorite (taken) 20 to 1 agst Regalia (taken) SPORTING NOTES. Although the Newmarket Meeting commences to-day, the most import event to be decided is the Cesarewitch, for which every largo owner or trainer -of horses has, or is supposed to have, a good thing, apart from which an additional-eclat is given to it by the attraction of the Middle Park Plate, to which the noble gift of 1,000 soya. is added by Mr. W. Blenkiron, the well-known breeder; and whose liberality is disinterested, and an example worthy of all praise to sundry noblemen and gentlemen, who, in their smaller contributions as stewards to different meetings, generally contrive to win back with their own horses in stakes considerably more than they subscribe. The march of intellect in racing has been equally rapid with every other pursuit, but things have sadly altered since the commencement of my interest in turf pursuits twenty years ago. In those days, when Lords George Bentinck, Eglinton, and the Marquis of Waterford, now unfortunately living in our memories only, were the lead ing turf celebrities, in conjunction with the Earls of Glas gow, and Zetland, still living of the old school, no such ac tion as scratching horses from the excuse of being fore stalled was ever a part of their creed. Very different are the tactics used nowadays, when it would be difficult to award a premium to the most successful of the sporting aristocracy, who have taken the greatest ad vantage of public credulity, and who appear to think it a praiseworthy feature in their racing career to do so. However, my present business is to endeavour to en lighten your readers on forthcoming events at this meeting, and declining to interfere with to-day's running, I shall at once turn Fay attention to Tuesday's engagements. In the Clearwell Stakes, if ACHIEVEMENT is started, it is out of the question looking elsewhere for the winner, indeed it is only a nice exercise gallop for her pre paratory to her engagement in the Middle Park Plate next day. WESTWICK certainly ought to win the Royal Stakes (across the fiat), after which the Cesarewitch presents itself for notice. It would be wearisome, and is not worth while to go into elaborate detais about it, and I shall content myself by selecting the fourteen horses, from whom the winner is likely to be produced, viz., Regalia, Rama., War, Peon, Lecturer, Comus, Lothario, Potomac, Dubiety, La Favorite, ActamoTollity, Chepstow, and Proserpine. Regalia and Chepstow have been entrusted with considerable investments, but the first-named has not displayed sufficient form lately to win with 9st on her back, and although her stable companion is, I believe, a good horse —report says that he is better than the mare at a difference of two stone—ho has been too much knocked about in the market to obtain my recommendation. Thera are excep tions, of course, but, as a rule, favourites driven back to such long odds as he has been very seldom win. Rama and Potomac represent a truly formidable stable, as the run ning of Lord Westmorland's horse stamps him as A 1. over a distance of gonad ; according to latest market ope rations, however, Potomac possesses the confidence of the stable, and will probably obtain some notice from the judge. War is a good stayer, but he is not particularly well in. Peon is said to be one of Mr. Ten Broeck's good things, and more unlikely events have occurred than the chance of that gentleman winning the two great autumn events, as ho has Paris, 5 yrs, engaged in the urorhas Cambridge shire at the ridiculous impost of Gst 121 b. t and it is said, has distinguished himself with been backed for hatfuls of money the last few arLlc Diverdc:; e ve iy s upported the Danebury lot. Comus has been exftoe:d of his chance. by the northern division, who are interests, as Ys' and Lothario will represent Baron rvoet has too much weight Breeze is a doubtful starter; but fine four-yr-old mare for my fancy. Dubiety is a al3s o n, and the reputation of with a three-yr-olds wei gil d for this engagement.

Proserpine to every (the daughter of who to his swubatserrsatolen dominions) in p io l ns ul ; the God of Ilell, belongs to Mr. F. Swindells, whose extraordinary luck in the successful management of winners is proverbial, and who, I believe, is equally sanguine of the result on this occasion. I know she has had a most satisfactory trial, and is sure to stay every yard of the way. It must not be over-, looked also that she finished in front for the Oaks with, Bst 101 b on her, besides winning three or four races last year in good company. There will, doubtless, be a much larger field than I have enumerated above, amongst them Verdant, Bradamante, Philosopher, Ethelred, Gibraltar, Helen or Fan, Surney, Farce or Lively, Lochiel, &c. However none of them have any attraction for me, and I know nothing satisfactory about any of the others. It will be perceived from the foregoing remarks that I have a strong opinion in favour of CHEPSTOW or PROSERPINA whom I expect to see placed the winner of 1866 ; and to NUM the fashion I shall recommend LA • FAVORITE, and DUBIETY for places. Wednesday's pro gramme includes the Middle Park Plate, for which all the best youngsters of the day are engaged; but although there are no less than 186 subscribers, I do not think any of the dark candidates are likely to defeat the public form of those which have already given us such sa tisfactory specimens of their quality this season. 1 allude to Achievement, The Hermit; Marksman, Knight of the Gar ter, Ravioli, Wroughton, The Rake, The Palmer, &c. Over this distance of ground (six furlongs), although I shall award the victory to the invincible ACHIEVEMENT, I do net expect to see her obtain a bloodless victory, as there is sure to be something to make the pace severe, and Bst 13Ib is a great weight to carry, and very likely to cause her 71h penalty to tell a tale. Knight of the Garter, from the great improvement he has made lately, must be a formidable opponent to her, as I presume The Hermit is short of pre paration. and not likely to be brought out. The Hake and The Palmer are sure to run well, and I believe Freemason, iu IV. Day's stable, will prove a good horse some day, and that an investment on him fur next year's Derby would not be thrown away. The Beaufort Stakes ought to go to POTO MAC. I should think VAUBAN would be good enough to, win the Milton Stakes. The RAKE looks all over the whi ner of the Bedford Stakes ; and I presume LORD LYON will be sent fur the Select Stakes. For the Sweep stakes of 50 sous my choice is FRIPONNIER. T LI% Newmarket Oaks on Thursday reads well for THE FILLY BY KING TOM OUT OF MAYONNAISE, who claims a 71b allowance, and who was one of the first favourites for the Epsom Oaks. The - Bietby Stakes will be decided in favour of ROSE or RAVIOLI. The Sweepstakes of 300 sous will be divided between THE HERMIT and MARKSMAN. The Prendergast and the Newmarket Derby Stakes are the only two in Friday's programme which are yet closed. There is very little doubt that KNIGHT OF THE GARTER Will add the, first named race to his other victories, unless Ailesbury should have improved on his previous running', and surely SAVER NAKE will land The Newmarket Derby for his unlucky owner. As regards Matches, it ought to be any odds on PARIS against Ines. FAKIR is sure to beat Pirate Chief, LADY BUGLE EYE, the filly by Tom Bowline, THE PIE MAN, another filly by Tom Bowline. I prefer BREADAL BANE to Tourmalin, JANITOR to Vespasian, and Lord Port smouth's ROBIN HOOD will receive forfeit, as the Baron's has come to grief. A FRESH MAN. NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. Yesterday and this morning our exercise grounds were completely dotted with horses, among them being severa very " distinguishhd foreigners," and several others are arriving almost hourly, the special trains being more numerous and much longer than usual. This is a good sign, and we easily believe that the " Second October' will be a veritable monstre meeting-. There cannot be less than a hundred and sixty strange horses already stabled here, and accommodation has been secured for a lot more To-day we had about forty Cesarewitch animals at work amongst them being Regalia, Brown Bread, Ostregor, King Charming, Breeze, Rama, Gomera, Verdant, Nu, Bradamante, Duke of York, War, Peon, Lecturer, Caithness, Philosopher, Gibraltar, Lothario, Zenobia. Dulcimer, La Favorite, Actina, Lively, Violent, Hawkswell, Jollity, Chepstow, Proserpine, Medina, Sleive Came, and Slender. Teddy Brayley's had not arrived ; and Tom Oliver is not likely to send any thing for the Middle Park Plato. Regalia galloped two miles and a half beautifully; after which Knight set Caithness to take Chepstow over a couple of miles, and the pair of them acquitted themselves first-rate. Ostregor was galloping Actasa, and King Charming working with Il Re Galatuomo. Breeze did very little, having been beaten in her trial ; but Lothario was bounding along in first-rate style, led by Tourmalin. Rama and Potomac both galloped two miles ; it is doubtful whether the former runs. Potomac's action was very free, and she is in the bloom of condition. William Goater had also Bismarck, Pamunkey, Owen Glendower, Lady Sophie, Crown Prince, and the Ringtail Screamer in nice work. Verdant galloped uncommonly well, as did Vigorous. Nu was in l ong steady exercise. Nimble, Pintail, the Splitvoto colt, Dulcimer, and Bradamante were out early/ and were subsequently joined by Savernake, Adam Bede, Bugler, Countess Amy, the two-year-old, Mayonaise filly, Pussy, and others. After their usual canters, Brada mante did over two miles fast, and the little mare went splendidly. Tho ground is in nice order for her. Saver nake went about a mile and three-quarters, and ho never moved or looked better. Adam Bede looks big. The Duke of York did his work very satisfactorily. Neither Peon nor Paris looked as if they could stand much severe preparation ; and the little Slender does the work of the American party. Their Fitzroy went splendidly, and ho has won a great trial. We have all along advised our readers to be on him for the Derby. Everybody was anxious to see Lecturer. Ackworth led him two miles and a quarter at a rare pace, and the form in which the youngster went made folks forget their early aversion to his diminitive size and lightness of frame. He certainly looks more like a flyer than a stayer, but he evinced no lack of endurance this morning. On the contrary, he went as strong as a little elephant, and pleased every one. Philosopher is as slow as Grafton's grey, and Gib raltar, though he be in the sere and yellow leaf, looked uncommonly fresh. Zenobia was eagerly sought after, as the mysterious horse of the race; but she does not appear to have done sufficient work, albeit her action is good, and she went a couple of miles admirably. Dulcimer galloped two miles, and so did the squire. Surney exercised freely, but being in the Proserpina interest, was almost entirely discarded; and no one seemed to trouble after Emigrant or Sealskin, who were taking things rather quietly. Dubiety is on the small side, but no animal could possibly be made more fit, and her two mile gallop this morning was got through superbly. La Favorite rattled over a similar distance in beautiful form, and is said to have been specially kept for this. Lively went short, and S lieve Came very little better ; but Jollity was as free as ever in her action, and is quite ripe. Hawkswell did his work with Zenobia. With regard to Proserpine we have to report very favourably. She appears a different mare to what she was in the "First October" week, and goes delightfully, skimming over the heath like a bird; and, from the manner in which he ac complished her two miles this morning, we were bound to infer that she can stay. Plutus and Sultan did a mile and a quarter. Master Richard led Vauban quite a mile; and Mirella pioneered Marksman, Blanche of Middlebie filly, Miss Ann filly, and the Sunflower filly. Lady Hester, Ischia, The Captain, Ines, The Duchess, Jack in the Green, Mr. Pitt, Tumbler, Whirligig, Pantaloon, Kanga roo, Glendale, Gomera, and several others of John Day's, were in active exercise ; and Drewett had also Haidee and Pirate Chief at work. The Rake did not do much, hav ing been " bested"on Saturday afternoon ; but Fripponnier did plenty. Podargus and Nightwatch went about a mile and a quarter ; and Split the Difference took Lord Lyon very nearly a couple of miles, Achievement doing one, and looking first class. Julius, Pericles, Misfortune, and Bombastes had milt) gallop, uthe gallop, steadily; and Breadalbane took Knight ;pod gallop, the former going in brillianthf horse, also Garter and Satyr one, fast.
