IWONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLocK. The rebound from stringency to easiness in the rates for discount has been so rapid that the com mercial community has had little time to change t heir course of action in the Southern hemisphere, Australia, and also in South America. The mer cantile requirements of this country are, therefore, for the present rather limited, and as money is su perabundant, the rates continue to tend down- Ward. In the open Money Market the quotations for the best bills are fully per cent. below the °ffieial minimum, viz., 4i per cent. At the Stock • zchange, also, loans ou Government Securities are l° very moderate request, and the .charges from day t 0 day on English Government Securities are 3i a nd 4 per cent. The movements of the precious metals during the Past week have been on a limited scale. The im- Ports have amounted to about £363,635, the greater P o rtion ien of which has arrived from America and the East Indies. The exports have amounted to 412 ,500, a large proportion of which has been ue spatched to the continent. The France has been announced this .morning ' r ola Vera Cruz with £300,000 in specie. The liquidators of the English Joint Stock Bank have arranged to pay the dividend of Bs. in the at the offices of the bank, on the 10th, 11th, 12 th, and 13th instant. At the bullion department of the Bank of Eng lallp d) yesterday afternoon, there was an influx of 8 ,000 in bars, and 3,000 sovereigns. There was I S a withdrawal of £288,000 for shipment to ,New York. Two O'CLOCK. At the P ar i s B ourse t o -d a y, accor di ng t o R eu t er ' s tel egram, the 3 per Cent. R en ter were dealt in at 7°f• 3 0c. Firm ; inanimate. very :little business was transacted to-day in the karket for the English Funds, and in every other department of the Stock Exchange. Dreary. Weather, recreationary trips, a few unfavourable re ports from the north about the harvest, and large Arnents of gold to New York for the purchase of "olerican Securities, seem to have negatived the favourable effect of easy money, and tranquility 14 orxr political and commercial relations at ho me and abroad. The Government Funds during the present administration, although of such recent (l ate have been firmer than for a considerable mod, and Consols, notwithstanding the paucity o f l lainess have closed with great firmness at 891 1, foruq„ transfer, and at 891 / for the account The Ne w roes and Reduced Annuities were 871 1 ; Bank • a ," England Stock, 245 ; India St oc k, 1041 1 ; ` g tto Enfaced Paper, 1001.

Emigration of Young Women under Miss Rye's Scheme. By the Red Jacket, which left the Mersey for Melbourne on the 30th ult., that indefatigable emi gration reformer, Miss Rye, sent out the first com pany of young women under the new regulations secured by her personal visit to the Austral'an colo nies. Miss Rye, after four years' travelling and effort in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, New Zealand, and the other emig:ation fields of the antipode:, has returned with powers which go far to remove the difficulties that stood in her way when she began her good work, five yeo7s since. She has cont7ol of Government funds amounting to about £3,000 per mouth for the purpose of send'ng out emigrant.; suitable for the relr'rements of the colonies, in such a way as secures them from the evils—overcrowding, bad san'taty mairgement; and prevalent immorality—which ti-,ve done so much to discourage the emigration of respectable people to that part of the world. • The Scotsman gives the foYowing particulars of Miss Rye's work : " With the view o: ascertain'lg by personal ob- servat:on the condition of things under which these Government emegrants leave this country, our ccrre spondent visited the depot at Birkenhead wh-l.e they were quartered there previous to embarkaton, and the vfssel itself, which lay alongside the depot, directly accersible from the latter by a large covered gallery. He found there in a". about 360 emigrants ; of whom 100 were known as "Rye's young women," about as many more young women holding warrants of emigration issued by the Government of Victoria in the colony, several families, and a considerable number of young men. The party under Mess Rye's erre were gi . ils especially selected by herse'f. The quavfications insisted upon in these ca: es are good health and good moral character. The fist is tested by medical examination; the second paray by reference, and mainly by Mss Rye's personal in tercourse with them. Theme two requisites, being secured, 'the bids are passed from their homes to the. colony free of cost to themselves, except to the extent of 10s. for bedding, &c., on board ship. They are received in the first instance into the home depot, placed by Miss Rye under the c- re of a qua'ified matron on board ship, and at the end of the voyage received into the Government Emigrant's Home in Melbourne until they are provided with employers, who must themselves be accredited persons of good character. To show the Ind of regu'ation existing in this respect, we may state that no pub"can is allowed to engage a g'.4 from the Emigrants' Home, or indeed any girl who has not been long enough in the colony to have gained some practical experience of life there. In the present instance M'ss Rye's 100 consists of 72 Engsh girls, 7 Scotch, and 21 Irish, well formed, healthy, inteigent, and of respect able appearance. About the whole company there was an a.e.r of se'f-respect and business-"'re indepen dence, combined with modest decoram, which spoke well for Miss Rye's fitness to e - c=char g e the task she has undertaken, and promised as well for the com munity of which these girls are about to become members. Many of them seemed to be country girls, accustomed to exercise and hard work. A". were qualified for domesiic service in one form or other, and seemed to be of a higher class than the average of our domestic servants at home. " The other g'73s, who were not under Miss Rye's care, were what ire called warrant-holders.' Thai is, they receive their passage to Melbourne by vir tue of Government warrants or passes obtain I for them, and paid for at a remarkably low rate, by re latives or friends in the colony. These ere goi ig out to fathers, brothers, cousins, or to future husbands; and the GoverDment :n cease to be responsible for them upon the'r arrivr l . at Mel bourne, where they w:'.l be handed over to their friends. The remaining emigrants on board the Red Jacket, excepting only seven families under Mss Rye's care, sent out on nearly the same terms as her girls, were also warrant-holders. Most of these belonged to the classes most sr'ted to etr;gim tion—labourers, arLisans, farm-g . r l s, home-servants, and so on. Of the married men who went oat with their fatr — cs under Irss Rye's d'rection, one was a c;. - .penter, one paluter,one ply nber, rid the others Lire i lar trades: " Our correspondent was much interested by the a:zangements on board sr •p. The Red Jacket is a large ship, broad of beam and roomy, fitted up m:th accommodation - for 700 or 800 emigrants. There' are three large cabins set apart; respectively for single men, single women, and maizied pe3r l e with their farulies. The single men's cabin is forwrrd, the s:ngle women's aa, with the married people's cabin amidships. It is with the single women's quarters we are at present most concerned, and a description of the department in which they are lodged w serve pretty nearly as a description of the other sec tions. This cabin is a large, conrnodioui, and we"- venti!ated apartment, with 125 berths, for the ac commodation of 250 girls, and provided with 20 or 30 mess-tables. The berths are a". furnished with bedding, and curtained off from the body of the cabin. They are arranged in racks, or sets, with 12 bei (for 24 g . :ls) in each rack, and are both larger and further apart than is usual in the steer ages on board even passenger ships of the best ''.llCl7. Adjoining the cabin r - -e a lavatory, with large zinc troughs and sar'l basins lavatoiy, by-the-by, though large, night be a ittle larger with advan tage) ; a dispensary, from which the ship's doctor dispenses only for the cabin, the others having each its own dispensary ; the matron's dormitory ; the hospital, capable of holding 30 or 40 patients ; other recessary adjuncts. " The d'scipl'ne of the ship is equally well. understood from the regalations of this depart mut. No man is al l .owed free access to this cabin, except the doctor. This gentleman, who has made Lcveral trips to Austral:a,' and back, has already so far gained the confidence of the authorities that his remuneration has increased each voyage. By a salutary regal.ation his pay de pends upon his success in keeping the passengers healthy ; for he will receive £1 a-head for every emigrant he lands in Melbourne alive from the Red Jacket. lle acts as chaplain to the ship, and is vested for the time being with full magisterial powers. The only other persons, except, under regulations, the captain or his deputy, admitted at any time to the cabin, are certain of the married men, who are appointed to receive the stores from the single men, who bring them from the forward hatches and deposit them amidships, v-id convey them to the single women's cabin. Constables are appointed from amongst the married men, to pre vent communication between the forward and after cabins ; and any breach of these regulations . ' is punishable with 24 hours' in the black-hole. The girls are separated into messes of eight in each. Each mess has its own " captain"--the woman ap pointed as cook for the voyage —and its own table. Each woman has her own plate, b as i n , k n i fe, and fork, &c., and a bag to put them in, w hi c h h angs ])y the side of r clothes.herber berth, in company w :th t h e b ag containing h It is the d u t y o f t h e " cap tain" of each mess to keep clean the table utensils of the mess, and to preside over the mess at meals. The other girls are appointed in turns to scrub the floors, tables, berths, and fittings of the cabin, to wash clothes, and otherwise take their share in the coanr en duty of preserving cleanliness and health. "It is obvious that these arrangements have been I carefutly made, and that they are about as perfect as such arrangements can be. The Emigration Commissioners have had before them the sad expe rience of many blunders and crimes in emigration transport, and these prolisions and regulations have not come too soon. While their ships are fitted and arranged upon some such plan as this, those einigeants, and friends of emigrants, who are wi se and well disposed, must see the importance of pre ferring government supervision to the accidents and often systematic mismanagement of private vessels. The Red Jacket starts with every advantage. Sh e is far from overcrowded, and her passengers are healthy as far as can be known. It is greatly to the credit of Miss Rye that she has made it a positive cmdition of her taking past in this work that her girls shall be sent out only in government ships. Such arrangements ate the best means of compelling a re:orin in the emigration traffic, and in emigrant ships generally. Miss Rye's influence amongst the young women of the country is great, and deserves to be greater, for wkile her kindness of heart and self -sacrificing interest in the work commands their confidence, her prompt and bus;ness-ne acuteness assures the selection of such etr;grants as will do credit to themselves and to the colonies to which they go. Her next company will. be despatched in October, and in the meantime she will be occupied in receir'ng applications and exam:ning appllcants for her next shipment. The Atlantic Cabe of 1865.

Subjoined is a very important circular issued this morning : You will have learned f ro.n the public prints that on Thursday last an order was obtained from the Court of Chancery authorising this committee and its solicitors, Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, of Ely-place, Holborn, assisted by Mr. Oswald Howell, of the firm of Walker, Reddall, Nix, and Howell, accountants, of No. 89, King-street, Cheapside, to investigate the books and accounts cf Overend, Gurney and Co. (Limited). The undersigned having formed themselves into a committee on behalf of the shareholders, ho pe, through the instrumentality of their professional auxi liaries, to establish grounds for resisting the payment of the call of .£lO ; for holding the whole of the directors responsible for the capital of the company ; and generally for promoting the interests of the shareholders in this disastrous concern. In order to carry out these important objects it will be necessary to raise a defence fund at the rate of so much per share. The proportion will, of course, depend on the number of co-operating shareholders and shares re presented, but we have no reason to suppose that under any circumstances it can exceed five shillings per share. At all events, the-undersigned have already received so many spontaneous promises of aid from shareholders very largely interested, that they confidently expe'd such an amount of support as Will reduce the charges- much below the foregoing estimate, and they consider it onlynecessary at present that with the annexed authority a provisional payment of 2s. 6d. per share should be remitted. In. the event of your agreeing to support this committee you will be kind enough with all convenient speed to sign the an nexed authority and forward it with the proposed remit tance (either by Post-office order or by a cheque crossed 'Bank of England," payable to Mr. Oswald Howell) to the undersigned at the above address. ALARMTNG ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon a very alarming accident occurred in the Victoria station of the Brighton and Chatham and Dover Railway Companies. It appears that one of the Brighton Company's trains, con sisting of five empty carriages, was standing in the " shunting-yard," about to be shunted. The train due at Victoria station from the Crystal Palace at 2.14 then neared the station, when the signalman turned the lever in his signal box, in order to shunt the Crystal Palace train on to its proper platform. The connecting rod of the shunt, however, broke and the points remained open, allowing the Crystal Palace hale to run on to the line upon which the Brighton train was standing. A coPision then ensued, in which two of the carriages of the Brighton train wore smashed to atoms and the other three were more or less injured. Tho Crystal Palace train was one of those in which the carriages are closely coupled, and it is stated that had they been coupled by ordinary irons the force of the collision would have overturned the whole of them. By means of the close coupling, however, not one was thrown off the line, and the lives of many passengers were by this means saved. Th 3 damage to the Crystal Palace train in comparison with that of the Brighton was very slight. The whole of the roof lamps were smashed, as well as the lamps in the guard's break-van. The engine fortunately was a Lew tank engine, one specially em ployed upon the Ciystal Palace line, and of extreme power. It has sustained some damage, and will require repairing. One of the guards—Robbins—states that he looked out of window and saw that an accident was inevitable, and at once applied the break, but while in the act the collision took place, and he was thrown from one end of the car riage to the other. He has sustained a severe contusion on his arm. Many of the passengers were much shaken. FLOODS IN THE MIDLAND COUNTIES, Sept. 7. After a slight cessation of rain on Thursday the weather again became stormy, and through the remainder of the day and night heavy and deluging rains have fallen. In conse quence of the great quantity of moisture which has fallen during the past fortnight, there are inundations in man y districts of the midland counties, and there is now no doubt that a great deal of damage will be done. Between Keg worth and Loughborough there is a great quantity of water out, and cattle have been with difficulty extricated from the flood. The crops (particularly barley) are suffering. A great deal of that which has not been gathered is soddened and stained, and in some plaoes has sprouted. At Aslock ton, between the rivers Trout and Smite,.the land is under *rater: The meadows 'between Beeston , and Sawley are submerged ; and, indeed, in the vale of the Trent gene rally the waters have appeared, and, as there is every ap piarance of unsettled weather, a much greater and very probably much more disastrous flood will take place than has occurred at this time of the year in the midland coun ties for many years. At Burton-on-Trent and other dis tricts in Staffordshire the floods have appeared. Harvest has been greatly retarded, and much of the grain —that which has remained so long in the field—will be of very inferior quality. Throughout Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Notts, and Derbyshire there was a good breadth housed before the heavy rains had done much damage; some has unfortunately been carted too precipitately. Around Bourn, Louth, and Spilsby the rains have been deluging, causing injury to all kinds of produce. In some parts of Notts very little has been done in the fields during the past fort night, and consequently the condition of the grain is suf fering, The barometer remains low, the waters are still rising, and there is every indication of continued moisture. A fair breadth of grain in some districts of these counties has been well cleared. Around Stamford there is not much remaining out, and from Talfington to Peterborough nearly all the grain is cleared. THE ROYAL VISIT TO DUNROBIN.—The Inverness Courier, referring to the report of the postponement of the long-looked for visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Dunrobin Castle, says :—" A circumstance has just occurred that creates some uncertainty as to whether the visit will take place this year. The King and Queen of Denmark have announced an intention of coming to this country on a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales, and should this take place at the time sot apart for the northern journey it would be necessary for their Royal Highnesses to postpone the latter and proceed to England." The Northern Ensign, however, says it is still believed that their Royal Highnesses will be present at the review on the 29th curt., and that the Prince of Wales will in person take the command. A distinguished party is to be at the castle, including Lord and Lady Grosvenor and the Earl and Countess of Caithness.—Edinburgh Courant. FRENCH GENEP kLS RISEN FROM THE R England has no parallel instance to show of pro motions from the ranks of the army to the highest =Pi ta y offices, which have baen so common in France since the f •st revolution. "La ca.::ere ouvet:s aux talents" has there received many illustrations, which would doubt less be matched among ow :solves were the road to promo tion as open. Roche, Humbert, and Pieheg. s began they • respective careers as private soleiers. Rothe, while a the Kin& army, was accustomed to embroider waistcoats to e.mble' him to eat a money wherewith to purchase books on m"itary science. Kleber, Lefev:e, Suchet, :Victor, Lannes, Soult, Masseur St.. Cyr, D'Erlon, Murat, Aug.p re:.r, Bessieres, and N al rose from the ranks. — ln Warne cases promotion was rapid, ia others it was slow. _ . Ney enlisted at 18 ia an hussar regiment, and , adva - iced stop by step ; Kleber soon discovered his =tits, surnaming him "The Indefatigable," and promoted him to be adjutant-general when onty 25. Gn the other hand Soult was s:x yea - s from the date of his, enl'itment before ho reached the rank of sergeant. But Soult's advancement was rapid compa-ed with that of Massone, who served for 14 years before he was made sergeant ; and though he afterwards rose succesb:vely, step by step, to the grade of colo ael, genera'. of and marshal, he eeclared that the post of sergeant was the stop which of all others had cost him the most labour to win. Sirclar promotions r-om the ranl-s in the French at sty have continued doWn to our own day. Changernier entered the Klng's bodyguard as a pi:vate in 1815. Marsnal Bugeaud served four yerrs in the'ranks, after wb:ch ho was made an officer. Marshal Illaidon, the present French Miu'lter of War, began his milita - y career es a (11 arnmer boy; and in the po...rait of hi n in the ga7lety of Versarles his hand rests upon a chum head, the picture being thus painted at h's own re quest. Instances such as these inspire French soldiers with enthusiasm for the': sou 'co, and each private feels that he may possibly cart; the baton of a marshal in his knapsack. —Self Help, Now Edition. DIRECT COMMISSIONS.—We are requested to state that from the Ist of January, 1867, until further notice, the age of candidates examined for direct appoint ments will be from 17 to 20 years for the infantry, from 17 to 22 years for the cavalry, and from 17 to 26 years for colonial col2s. _ NQUET TO MR.

Ves pasian went on from Warwick, and Thomas is to ride him in the Leger, to cut out the work for Lord Lyon. Neither of Godding's horses are fit for the big race, and the roan colt will be found the best. He merely cantered and galloped a mile and a quarter to-day. Artesian is very ripe. Nu has been eased, and is not likely to run for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, after all. Knight of the Garter galloped over a mile this morning. Tourmalin and Tormentor (the latter of whom Is badly treated in the Cesarewitch, and will not run) each did a couple of miles. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Dart, 4, strew despatch gin vessel, comm's sinned at Portsmouth by Commander Marcus Low ther, is completing her stores and general equ'pment for service on the 'West Coast of Africa. The Earnest, woaden gunboat, 60-horse power, is ordered from Portsmouth to Harwich, to relieve the present gunboat tender to the steam :Coastguard ship at that port. The Hector and Pallas; irorclads, under orders b join the Channel fleet at Portland, remain at Spit head, but are expected to sail at the late: - A early on Monday morning. The Hector «i'l tow an unarmed mortar float round for lighter service at Portland. A considerable augmentation has been made in each department of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, in fulfilment of orders from the Secretary for War, and at no time since the outbreak of the Russian war has there been such a demand for extra hands as at present, about 400 artificers having been added to the Royal carriage department alone. Some difficulty, it is stated, is experienced in obtain ing the temporary services of competent men, such as able and experienced carpenters and wheelwrights, to up the vacancies creatcd by the removal of a number of men belonging to those trades to the new iron works. Now that a presring demand has been made by the Admiralty for a ready supply o:arma ments for the ships of the fleet it is found necessary to meek for an additional number of men to supply the places of those who were rejected when the old carpenters' shops were converted into smitheries and machinery rooms, and the. Carpenters' branch wrs much reduced. A large number of gun carriages, slides, &c., is being constantly issued and shipped for Portsmouth, Devonport, and Chatham, and 50 others, partly completed, are promised for Ports mouth by the end of the present month. They are to consist of 6,- and 12-ton gurr, for ships' use, and 7-ton for land service. The weight of the carriages and s'ides is respectively 37icwt. and 56icwt.

The Volunteers and the Bels'r '1 T 7 - National The jo'nt labours of the Beig:an Connr'ssion and the English Volunteer Conarrottel have resuhed in ' the issue of a tolerably perfect programme of the proceedings at Brussels, commencing on the 2ad ist. The Volu steers w: . l be able to compete, as in previous years, at the oreinary shooting of the Tir Na'ional, 225 metres (about 250 yards), with the same regelations that appl'ed last; year. But the clz - ss of shooting wh: eh more pzrticularly appea's to our riflemen will be that at long ranges, now in troduced for the first time in Belgium. Prizes have been offered by the the Government, and the Garde Civique, and one series open to riflemen of all countries bearing mirtaty weapons without covered or magnifying eights or hair triggers. Zhe ranges will be 450 mutes (about 500 yards) and 550 metres (about 600 yards). The targets will be sim"cr to those - used at Wimbledon for the Swiss Carton prizes, two yards square, with a bo - l's-eye of 24 :nches, counting four points ; a centre of 48 inches, counting three points, the outer counting two points. Five shots are allowei at each distance, two sighting shots in addi tioa. There will be no charge made for entrance fees or sighting shots, but the list of competitors will be closed on the 20th. Entries are to be made to the Hon Secretaries of the English Com mittee at 79, Basinghall-street. A special competi tion has been also arranged for English Volunteers only, prizes having been offered by the Belgian rifle men who visited Wimbledon last July, by the Chasseurs Ecla;reurs of Brussels, by the second legion of the Garde Civique of Brussels, and by others. Seven shots are to be fired at 450 and 550 metres, regulation long Enfield rifles, with Government ammunition, alone being admissible to this con test. Targets and scoring aro to be on the Wimble don system, and the Hythe position adopted. These prizes must be shot for in uniform, 14 marks to be made at the shorter range to qualify competitors to shoot , at 550 metre-, two sighting shots allowed at each range. There will be no entrance fee for th's competition. The special fetes organised for the entertainment of our Volunteers aro numerous, and show that the Belgians are determined to repay, with heavy inte rest, the hospitality received by their representatives in this On Saturday evening, the 22d there, torchlight reception to the Vo lunteers countrys to last b e a July. 7 whence they are to b e marched a r a e betdt to railway o e t r be i N ii a e y o Hotel e s l t station , v n p. e to be there pre sented with the viii d'hon!zcn r by the burgomaster— the same evening a route is to be given by the Lite rary and Artistic Club.

Savernake was eased a little this morning, for ho and Bradamante wont a mile and a half very steadily. He is an uncertain horse, and though ho lost his trial he may confirm the Derby form.

Westwick, Knight of the Crescent, War, and Knight of St. Michael, galloped a couple of miles this morning, going splendidly. Arthur Edwards is to ride the first named in the Leger. Skylark went a mile and a half. The Grand Cross moved freely. Gipsy Queen, Klarnet, and Qqeen of Nuts, aro fit. STOCKBRIDGE. Gomora led Rustic two miles this morning, and the latter is much improved and must get a place for the Leger. Repulse and Ischia went a mile and three quarters. Har penden and Sweet Anne galloped a mile; they have won their trials. The above are all we are likely to have at Doncaster, as The Duke and Uncas are not in work just now. SPORTING PROPHECIES ON THE ST. LEGER. (From Bell's Life.) We do not perceive that there is more than the chapter of accidents to interfere with the success of LORD LYON. Immediately following whom we expect to see Strath. conan and Savernake, the grey being the best outsider in the race. ORANGE BLOSSOM. On Richmond's delight—he's a grey, not a roan 'un— I've staked my last groat—Heaven pardon my sing. And my private belief is, that failing STRATHCONAN, The Aylesbury jacket on SATERNAKE wins ! (From the Sportsman.) BEACON. I consider the race a " moral" for either Lord Lyon or Saveruake, and for the reasons above stated I give the preference to LORD LYON, whom' I expect to see accom plish the triple victory as cleverly as did Gladiateur last year. Vronarr. - I must reluctantly confess that I now think Savornake will be again defeated by LORD LYON. (From the Sunday Times.) . VATICINATOR. We cannot go against our early loves ; and shall venture to anticipate Judge Clark's verdict thus :—Lonn LYON ; 1; Savernake, 2 ; Knight of the Crescent, 3.; leaving Strath conan and Westwick to hoad the succeeding lot. (From the Sporting Lift.) AUGUR. The more I look at it the greater certainty does the race resolve itself into for Lord Lyon, and, having public form alone to guide me, I fully expect to see foremost places oc cupied by the same animals who rendered themselves famous at Epsom ; in fact, the Derby result prophesies the St. Leger iSSII6, and whoa the judge pronounces his verdict it will be in favour of LORD LYON. (From the Sporting Gazette.) I shall bring my somewhat lengthy remarks to a close, with another "plumper" for LORD LYON. COCK ROBIN. Now inch by inch, and foot by foot, steals up tho red and black, For Savernake is stopping swift and surely to the crack, The chesnut faultors in his stride, and hangs towards the bay, And grimly Custance smiles, for ho can tell whoso is the day. A moment more—and closely locked tho champions seem to lin But death is in the fielders' hearts, and ours the victory; For flashed along a hundred wires before the sun went down, Were the tidings that LORD LYON had achieved the triple crown ! TROUBADOUR. vim "rouge et noir," tho "red and tho black," As at Baden, so we sing, too ; And if for a place the Knight you back, You'll paddle the winning canoe. . So, back LOUD LYON for all you're worth, A race horse honest and true; Never flinch, nor frown, keep pitting it down, And "paddle your own canoe!" (From the Field.) Our faith is in Lord Lyon and Saveruake; and as wo must stand or fall with one horse, Lour. Lvov, for the third time in theso columns, shall be our champion , and next to the Derby winner we app re h en d Savernake and Knight of the Crescent will bo found. (From the Era.) TOUCHSTONE. Rustic has shown so much improvement at home during the past few days that he will be quite a different horse to what he was when he last ran, and, remembering how he disposed of Mr. Sutton's colt at the Royal Meeting, when the latter was thought to be a certainty, we she 11 take no notice of the defeats of the Duke's representative at Epsom and York, and place the loading three thus :—RUSTIC, 1; Lord Lyon, 2 ; Knight of the Crescent, 3. THE STABLE MOUSE. Both the Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Hastings have backed Lord Lyon for a large stake, and continuo to lay odds upon him, while the latter peppers Rustle at ever' convenient opportunity. At the price, however, I consider him the best place investment, and with Fordham's artistic assistance, coupled, perhaps, with a silent but deep reso lution to have his revenge , a t least, upon Strathconan, I shall be much disappointed if lie fails to obtain a situation, albeit not the first:—Lora I,yolv, 1; Savernake, 2 ; Rustic, 3. (From the Weekly Times.) FLY-BY-NIGHT. I think, when the numbers are hoisted, the result will be —Loup LYON, 1; Savernake, 2 ; Stratheonan, 3.
