MARKETS.---This Day. ~ .__._ MARI( LANb. The leading country markets bold on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, which, with some few exceptions, sold slowly on lower terms. All kinds of spring corn as well as flour were very dull. Throughout the Continent very little has been passing in wheat on English account. The exports from America continue on a limited scale. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were only moderate. The imports from abroad were 13,060 quarters of wheat, 230 barley, 35,076 oats, 830 beans, 1,916 peas, 1,840 linseed, 5;7.94 rapeseed, 18,626 maiv., 300 sundries, 4,480 sacks and 1,850 barrels of flour. . . The trade for linseed ruled quiet at about late rates. Rapeseed was firm, but for agricultural seeds the demand was steady: Cakes, although steady in price, commanded but little attention. There was I. falling off in the arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day, as compared with Monday last. The trad.., in consequence, exhibited a somewhat firmer apparance, and at the commencement of business both red and white produce was held at an advance in prices of I.s. per quarter. The demand, however, was without activity, and, for tho most part, saes progressed slowly, at the prices of Monday last. Foreign wheat was in good supply. The amount of business transacted was only moderate. In prices no change took place. Foating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates Bailey was in short supply. The trade was steady a late rates. Malt sold slowly at last week's currency. The market was moderately supplied with oats. The trade for all qualities ruled steady at late prices.- Beans were in short supply. The demand ruled quiet on former terms. Peas changed hands at the prices of Monday last. The market was scantily supplied. There was a moderate demand for flour on former terms. Mustard seed was very firm, and white qualities realised as much as 20s. per bushel. CURRENCY PER IMP.

On the whole the trade ruled steady, at very full prices. Tho arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate. Those from Ireland and Scotland were very limited. Prime beasts sold freely, at at advance in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d. per 81bs. ; otherwise, the beef trade was inactive, at late rates. The top quotation was 5s 8d per 81bs. The general quality of the stock was by no means prime. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,100 Shorthorns, kc. ; from other parts of England, 490 various breeds; from Scotland, 6 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 35 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was very moderate, and most breeds came to hand in middling condition. All breeds were in good request, at an improvement in value of quite 2d per Blbs.

A writer in a contemporary says : —The foreign correspondent ,of a journal should be a man free from strong party prejudices, not belong ing to either of the sides which may divide the nation he represents into two or more political par ties. If the . newspaper for which he writes be a leading journal, tending powerfully to influence the opinion of the country in which it is published, it is still more important that its correspondent should be free from party prejudices. lie ought fairly to record the general tone of feeling of the mass of the society in which he is placed. He ought truthfully, without bias and without exaggeration, to state all the facts. The object he should have in view is very simple—to condense into a letter the leading events which have occurred—the tendency of opinion among the great body of the people—that his readers may have a clear idea of what has occurred, and may form a just conception of what may occur. The correspondents - of the 7imes should, above all men, be careful not to give way to party rancour, nor attempt to lead in a party spirit the public of England, because the Times is a great national jour nal, and the influence of its opinions is felt over the length and breadth of the kingdom. Of all corre spondents the most careful to write in an unbiased strain should be those who profess to give the news and opinions of America. It should never be forgotten that our language is the same ; and that misrepresentation and rancorous party spirit return to the country from which the sentiments came, to ereate among the people bitter feelings of irritation, and stir up bad blood among those with whom it is of paramount importance no other than feelings of good-will should prevail. After the terrible blunders committed by the Times, which tended so materially, by falie information, to misdirect English public opinion during the American War, it behoves the great organ to be more than ordinarily careful in record ing the political events now coming to a crisis among our American cousins. Its Philadelphia correspon dent is a red-hot Copperhead, and, as such, totally unfitted to record truthfully and without colour the absorbing questions now distracting the Union. He represents merely a section of the opinion of the North, and a large section of the opinion of the South. Indeed, that body only who were totally defeated in arms, and who, if their present policy be persisted in, will in all probability receive a second defeat, which will annihilate them for ever as a party. if the English nation would exercise their own judgment and bring its own common sense to bear, and not be content to receive as undoubted facts the opinions of a violent partisan—though he may be a correspondent of the Times—there would be litttle chance of it being again so disastrously misled as to the real sentiments of the American people. Let it consider the objects for which the great contest was waged ; the obstinacy with which it was fought out ; the people who fought it out ; and it will see that a powerful spring moved. the nation, and that an overwhelming power backed that spring. What changes have occurred to alter the state of affairs ? None whatever. The weight of the highest official has given an un expected influence to the Democratic party, and enabled them, by the aid of the South, to form a strong combination in opposition to the Northern sentiment which fought and conquered in the Four Years' War. But this combination has not in any way changed that sentiment. The North at this moment is as determined to carry the policy for which it fought as when it fought. And as a last resort, it is prepared to impeach the PRESIDENT and appeal to arms. The PRESIDENT, the Democrats, and the South would be instantly swept away before this party, when fairly roused. Indeed the power to which we allude is something more than mere party.. It is a national principle, backed by the brain, bone, and sinew of the Northern States. People who care little for Copperhead or Radical, for Irish vote or German influence, for President Jourrsorr as an individual or Congress as a body of individuals, are prepared to uphold the principle, for which the w ar was waged, the sym b ol of wh i ch is the national fl ag, and the ruling idea the great and undivided Republican Union of America. The mass of the people know that they are regarded with hatred by the planters of the South. They know that their object was to sever their States from the ' t h a i n s d objectthey b it e p li o ev w e er th w a e t re th ag es a e in p p la la n c t e e d rs i w n t o h u e l i d r r U ev n i i v o e n hands. The Democratic party is a noisy section of politicians, with a great deal of froth, but with very little substance. With the aid of the South they ruled for many years in the Union, and the people were content because the Union progressed in mate rial prosperity, and their great Republican tree grew vigorously, throwing forward its boughs and branches, as they delight to see it grow. That vast silent mass remain quiescent, attending to their own farms, shops, trades, and general business, so long as the Republic progresses to their satisfaction. But let this body once be roused, let them be pene trated with an idea, and all opposition which can be organised in the Union against them is as vain as a wooden gate against the rush of a railway train. We maintain that this body is penetrated with the idea that the Union is endangered by again giving power to the South ; and if this be so, the junction of the Copperheads and the South, led by the PRESIDENT, will be but a vain show if they attempt to measure their strength with that body whose decree is final i n any great national crisis. The Times cor respondent tells us a great deal of the doings of the Philadelphia Convention, but not one word of the feelings stirred up throughout the country by the horrible massacre at New Orleans. No Conven tion, though composed of all the great orators of the country, can talk away the blood there shed, nor obliterate from the mind of the nation the deep seated feeling now established of the undying, reckless, unrelenting hatred of the South. The talk of the Southern delegates may be as soft and mild as the winds that blow from their Southern States, their sentiments may be grand and noble, their arguments may be based on the laws of eternal justice, but their acts while in power come up as a hideous nightmare and darken the whole picture. Could the people be persuaded that the interests of the nation would be forwarded by President JOHNSON'S plan of reconstruction, the chief magis trate would carry with him a power against which the opposition of Congress would be as harmless as the cry of achild. I most firmly believe—whether right or wrong—that the national sentiment is against the PRESIDENT ; and when the day of trial has come, and the people speak out, every delusion will be dissipated, like morning mists before a rising sun. Since this article was written we have received a most hopeful telegram of the proceedings of the Philadelphia Convention. To unite the States into a cordial bond of union is the one great object, and we would earnestly support the _PRESIDENT or the Congress, the Democrat or the Republican, who acted honestly or i visely with .th a t o bj ec t i n v i ew . We fully believJ:• that this sentiment rules that great body of which we have spoken, and once con vinced of the wisdoimand patriotism of the PRESI DENT and the party he is now organising, all oppo tion will cease, and his measures will receive the hearty support. of the nation. That the PRESIDENT carries with him General GRANT and Admiral FAR RAGUT in his WeStern tour is a most hopeful sign. It will indeed be a happy omen for the great Re public if the black clouds which have been gathering should disperse without a storm. NEW CONSULS.—Genera re cently appointed consul to -Lyons, has arrived and entered on the duties of his office. General G. S. Dodge has just entered upon his duties as consul to Bremen. Both these are good appointments, and will give satisfaction. They both served with distinction in the army of the United States during the civil war. S URREY SESSIONS—This Day. (Before J. E. Johnson, Esq., and a full bench of Magistrates.) The Sessions for the current month commenced this morning. INCREASE OF CRIME IN SURREY. The Chairman, in delivering his charge to the Grand Jury, said that he was sorry to state that the calendar con tained the names of a large number of prisoners. He believed there were no less than 60 names on the calendar already, and when the cases in which the parties were out on bail, or had been committed since the list had been made out, the probability was that there would be 70 cases to be tried during the present sessions. That amount was larger than usual, but the nature of the offences was not of the most aggravated description. There were 25 cases of stealing from the person, two for stealing from -dwelling houses, two for embezzlement of sums not ex ceeding £5, and different cases of assaulting the police inthe discharge of their duty, and other offences of the ordinary character. There was one case of arson, and a question arose as to whether that case could be tried by this court, but circumstances might arise iu the course of the inquiry which would bring it within the jurisdiction of the court. He repeated that the list of cases was very large, and con siderably exceeded that of the corresponding period of last year, which was only forty-eight. How that in crease could have taken place, he was at a loss to understand, considering the season of the year, the large demand for labour and the high rate of wages, and therefore there was an absence of the ordinary circum stances which led to the commission of theft. Of the num ber of prisoners to be tried, 21 had been previously con victed. One had been sentenced qice to penal servitude, and the term of the last sentenc had expired only last month, but he could not say whether the party had ob tained a ticket of leave. In several of the other cases also the terms of the different sentences had only recently expired. There was one case in which he wished to direct special attention. it came under the pro visions of an act of Parliament recently passed for the purpose of securing sobriety amongst railway servants, and which rendered any act of intoxication on their part while in the discharge of their duty criminal. Considering the importance of the duties which that class of servants had to discharge, involving the safety of life and property, he thought the Legislature had acted wisely in dealing with the subject. He then dismissed the jury to their duties. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. MUSICAL EDUCATION.-Six youths dressed in the Italian mountaineer costume, which has lately become so familiar in the streets of London, and two of them provided with bagpipes, in an extreme state of dilapidation, were broight up in custody of Hewitt, the Mendicity officer, on a charge of begging. They gave the names Carmite Parelli, Nar dino Margiotti, Paolo Ferri, Lorets Coppoli, Pietro Ma sello, and duiseppe Castellucis. Their ages varied from 12 to 18. Hewitt stated that on Saturday afternoon he found the prisoners, and three others, in Great Russell-street beg ging. They were not, as usual, with the bands of moun taineers seen in the streets, playing their bagpipes, singing and dancing, following ladies and gentlemen with suppli cating gestures, and holding out their hands for money. He gave them in custody to a policeman. They had all some coppers in their pockets, together about 2s. Signor G. Luciano, the Secretary of the Italian Benevo lent Society, 20, Greville-street, Holborn, said he had conversed with the boys since they were in custody, and found they had only been in London four days, and this was the first day they had been out. As might be imagined from the strong likeness between them, they were all nearly related. They were brought from their homes by a " padrone," to whom they had been apprenticed by their parents to receive a " musical education" in England. The padrone had brought them to Paris, where he now remained, and had sent them on to London. Although they were not very likely to learn much of music under the padrone's tuition, there was no doubt they could earn, by dancing and singing in the streets, as much money in three months as would keep them for the rest of the year. Of this, however. they would not have the benefit, at all events during the time of apprenticeship, as they were obliged to hand over all the money they received to the padrone. He (Mr. Luciano) had explained to them that they were not allowed to beg; and if the magistrate would let them go for this once, the Society would send them back to their padrone at Paris. Upon this condition the prisoners were discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A YOUNG FEMALE.—Angus M'Leod, a baker, residing at Brixton, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with the following unprovoked assault on a young female named Elizabeth Somerville. The complainant said that a little after ten o'clock last. night she was walking along Coventry-street, when the prisoner came up to her and without saying a word to her gave her a severe blow on the face. Ho then seized her by the throat, and held her tightly till a constable came up. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said she had taken no notice of the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to her. Ponce-constable Langham, 108 C, said that, while in Coventry-street last night, he heard a female calling " Police," and on going up found the prisoner holding the complainant by the throat so tightly that he had some diffi culty in making him release his hold. He then took the prisoner, who was drunk, to the station. The prisoner said he had no questions to ask. He knew nothing about it. Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoner that he was a fair speci men of a class of savages who haunted London. It was an unprovoked attack on the complainant for nothing at all. For picking pockets persons were committed for three months, but what was picking pockets compared with a brutal assault ? Nothing at all. He should commit the prisoner for three months with hard labour. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. Sept. 4, Sept. 3, 1865. 1866. ild s d s d a d.

A BRUTAL FELLOW WELL PUNISIIED.—John Berry, a low-looking fellow, with a tremendous cut in his head, and smothered in blood, was charged with being drunk and riotous,causing wilful damage, and violently assaulting one Joseph Parrott. Jane Allibon, a widow, landlady of the General Elliott, Queen's-road, East, Chelsea, said the prisoner, who had frequently created disturbances at the General Elliott, was in the house on Saturday night, and seeing he was drunk she refused to serve him. He then used fearful language, assaulted the nearest person to him, and then ran out of the house. He returned the back way, climbed over a wall, got into the tap-room, and would not leave. She asked him why he had come back, and he said "to make a row," and commenced to do so. She went to fetch a policeman, and on returning to the tap room found Joseph Parrott, a cripple, her potman, on the floor, bleeding profusely, and the prisoner and a man kicking him all over. The potman got up and ran into the bar parlour, whither prisoner fol lowed him, violently assaulted him, and smashed all the ornaments on her mantelpiece. He was ejected, and then kicked the bar door down. The potman, whose head and face were very much cut, corroborated. He gave no provocation. Prisoner said the potman first assaulted him with a poker, and afterwards the landlady took it from him and assaulted him. This was denied. Mr. Selfe, after commenting on the brutality and ruffianism of the prisoner, committed him for a in)nth's hard labour.' THAMES. CHARGE OF MURDER.—Timothy Murphy, aged 29, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Sullivan, another Irish man, at No. 34, Royal Mint-street, better known as Rosemary-lane, in the immediate vicinity of the Royal Mint, on Saturday night. This case originated out of a drunken quarrel, and ter minated fatally. Both men were intoxicated on Saturday evening, and were fighting, quarrelling, and abusing each other. The prisoner afterwards went out and declared in the hearing of several persons, "I will kill that to night. Ho went into the shop of Dr. Loane at the corner of Dock-street, Whitechapel, and asked for some medicine. • Mr. Loane, jun., who was in the shop, said he wanted no medicine, and told him to go home. He then uttered a threat, and said be had a knife, and would use it, and finish Sullivan. He also said, in the pre sence of a police-constable, No. 9 H, that he intended mischief. He went home, and soon afterwards there was a struggle in the passage of the house where the parties lived, and when it terminated the deceased exclaimed " I am stabbed," and fell ; and when his wife threw herself upon him she discovered that her husband was dead. He had been stabbed in the body, and the knife is supposed to have penetrated his heart. The prisoner ran away directly he had stabbed his countryman. Information was promptly convoyed to the Leman-street station-house, in Whitechapel, and Inspector Dandy, of the H division, took vigorous measures for his apprehension, which was effected the same night by John Fox, a police-constable, No. 144 H. The prisoner managed to get rid of the knife after ho stabbed the deceased. The prisoner's eyes were swollen and discoloured, and he said the injuries were inflicted by the deceased. Dr. John Loane, of No. 1, Dock-street, Whitechapol, said the deceased had been stabbed on the loft side near the heart, and that wound was the cause of death. There would be a post mortem examination this afternoon. , Dr. Loano's brother was ex amined as to the prisoner a throats on Saturday night. Mr. Partridge remande d the prisoner, w ho appeared quite unconcerned. Inspector Dandy said the prisoner was laughing and whistling in his cell the whole of yesterday. A piece of property in St. Paul's, Minnesota, for merly owned by Captain Moffit of the privateer Florida, and confiscated by the United States Government, was sold on Thursday, August 2, for 83,000. The valuation of the city of New York is 40 per cent. of that of the whole State. S EIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. LosnoN, Sept. 3.—Wind this day at noon—North-West; strong breeze and fine weather.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT THE EAST END. —The most extensive conflagration 'that has taken place for some time past in tha Comincrc ial-road-East, was reported this morning by Captain Shaw, the chief of the metropolitan fire-brigade. The premises in which the fire began belonged to Mr. M'lntyre, a draper and silk mercer, carrying on business at 17, Bedford-row, in the before-named thoroughfare. The disaster was caused by • ono of the gaslights coming in contact with some muslin goods hanging upon some lines in the shop, and in a few minutes the whole of the premises presented an immense sheet of flame, and the fire speedily extended to the next house, No. 18, in the occupation of Mr. J. H. Fairbridge, wine -merchant, and also to Mr. H. Cowley, hatter, No. 16 in the same place. Conductors Wood and Ricketts promptly attended with two of the Royal Society's fire escapes, and were followed by several land steam fire en gines by Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Co. Plenty of the East London Company's water having been obtained, the steamers were set to work, but the fire could not be extin guished until the whole of the premises of Mr. M'lntyre, together with the costly stock in trade, were destroyed. The contents were insured in the Sun Fire office. The premises of Mr. Fairbridge, the wine merchant, and Mr. Cowley, the hatter, are also greatly damaged by fire, water, &c. Mr. Cowley was insured in the City and County Fire-office, and Mr. Fairbridge was insured in the Liver pool, London, and Globe Fire-office. STATISTICS OF INSANITY.—Madness is most pre valent in the north-west of Europe, and constantly increases towards the south-east. That the influence of climate in producing this remarkable progression is very great cannot be doubted. Cold,wet, and fog, conduce more to idiotcy than great heat. The only land which rivals Norway and Scotland in the amount of insanity is Switzer and, with its Alpine range and relatively cold climate. As to the influence of race upon insanity there is 1 madman out of every 550 of the Celtic German races ; 1 madman out of every 1,192 of the Latin nacos; 1 madman out of 1,643 Sclavonians and Tartars. The disproportion to the disadvantage of the Germanic races is enormous, and it cannot be argued that it is due to the fact that the Sclavonians for the most part live in a primitive state without any mental cultivation or strain upon the intellect. For that would not account for the difference between the echo-Germania races and the Latin races. And it is not true that superior intellectual culture and activity conduce to insanity, for the Rhenish Province is far more intellectually active and cultivated than Pomerania, and has fall less insanity. As to the in fluence of religion upon madmen, Mr. Hammier tells us that there is 1 madman out of every 491 Protestants, 1 madman out of every 1,088 Catholics, 1 madman out of 1,795 Orthodox Greeks, and he says that the influence of religion upon madmen, independently either of Church or race, is proved by the fact that taking Germans of the same race and climate there are far fewer madmen among the Catholics (Bavarians, Rhinelanders, and Austrians) than among the Protestants. Insanity is 37 times more prevalent in the Canton Lucerne than in the Azores ; 18 times moro prevalent in Norway than in Servia ; 5 times more prevalent in Great Britain than in Italy.—The Tablet. THE FURNITURE OF A PRISONER'S CELL.—In the gaol of a northern county, considered one of the best managed institutions of its kind in Ireland, a gentleman is at present undergoing a sentence of twelve mouths' impri sonment, passed on him at the Spring Assizes of this year. A correspondent informs us that on Saturday last three of the Board of Superintendence entered his cell, and were greatly amazed and scandalized on discovering therein a variety of luxuries not included in the scale of dietary laid down for prisoners, and approved by the Lord-Lieutenant " They found," says our correspondent, """cases of pre served meats, a considerable quantity of 'John Miller' and best `Coleraine,' and an extensive supply of the ' weed," with three pipes to assist in its consumption. There was also a nucleus of a compact library, consisting principally of novels, among which those with the peculiar binding in dicative of suspicio.usFrench works of fiction predominated. In fact, the cell contained almost everything calculated to wile away the tedium of prison life, not forgetting money, wherewith the prisoner might provide for any wants which his anxious friends had overlooked. Before separating, the Board of Superintendence despatched a letter to the Castle, demanding an inquiry into this strange affair, and it is now looked for with considerable interest. It is feared that this discovery may not only nip in the bud a memorial lately sent off praying for a commutation of the sentence, and which was supposed to give tokens of bearing the desired fruit, but possibly entail a further term of imprisonment on the occupant of the cell, whose conduct in being in posses sion of the contraband of the prison, I am told, amounts to a misdemeanour."—Northern Whig. MR. BRIGHT.—The "manhood suffrage" Liberals of Leeds are about to hold a public meeting, and their chairman (Mr. Robert Meek Carter) has received the fol lowing letter from Mr. Bright, in reply to an invitation to the hon. member to attend the projected meeting : " Rochdale, Aug. 30.—Dear Sir, —I cannot come to your intended meeting, I am obliged to keep away from almost all the meetings to which lam invited. I suppose the West Riding working men will take some steps to hold a great meeting like that which has been held in Birming ham. It will not do for the West Riding to content itself with past expressions of opinion on the great subject of Reform. I thank your committee for the invitation, although I am not able to accept it.—Yours very truly, JOHN BRIGHT.—Mr. R. M. Carter, Leeds." TUE CANADIAN GUNBOATS.—We are informed that two gunboats have been lately added to the list of the Royal Navy on the Canadian lakes. These vessels have been purchased on the spot by the Government, and are manned by officers and men belonging to her Majesty's ship Aurora. They are named the Prince Alfred, of two guns, and the Rescue, of two guns; the former is com manded by Lieutenant Heron, second of the Aurora, and the latter, which has twin screws, is 248 tons burden, and has engines of 100-horse power, by Lieutenant Fairlie, fourth of the Aurora. The Prince Alfred is stationed at Windsor, and the Rescue at Port Colborne and Fort Erie, where they are keeping a vigilant look-out on the doings of the Fenians.

[The Doncaster St. Leger is near at hand, to be rapidly succeeded by the Cesarewitch and Cam bridgeshire, the weights for which are due this week. Turfites are deeply interested in the results of these three great events, and are anxious to glean all reliable information as to how the several candidates are progressing in their preparation. To meet the requirements of our numerous sporting subscribers, we have made arrangements to be fur nished daily with Special Notes from the various Training Districts, so as to keep our readers well " posted up" on the actual work done each morn ing by the principal competitors for the leading current racing tournays.] NEWMARKET. Very little was done on Sunday morning, for the weather was bad, and our trainers generally set the Sabbath apart for rest to man and horse—a very commendable rule,which ft would be as well for other districts to recognise and sup port. This morning (Monday) the race-course, the Long Hill, and Bury Hill wore somewhat heavy from the pre vious day's storms, but we had immense strings of horses out, including our Leger representatives—Honiton, Yes pasian, Lord Glasgow's two colts, Robin Hood (by North Lincoln), and Leybourne. The half-brother to Queen Bertha was led a mile and three-quarters by Star of India and Penelope ; but though .he is a commanding-looking horse, and gallops more freely than he did, he lacks pace, and his hock has been recently blistered. Vespasian looks and goes well, but is no stayer. It is, however, generally understood here that he is to be sent to Doncaster the special purpose of making a good pace for Lord Lyon. Leybourne was working with Sealskin and Ninco Nanco, the three doing nearly a mile and three quarters at a nice pace. Robin Hood was out, with the rest of the Baron's team, but he is not near fit, having been eased so long, owing to lameness. Lord Glasgow's pair galloped nearly two miles, and the roan is unquestionably the best. Duke of York has resumed work, and is fancied by some for the Cesarewitch, but the Admiral may take as much care of him for that race as he will of Nu for the Cambridgeshire. The latter is rattling along each morn ing, and is very fit ; but the Groat Yorkshire Handicap may be her journey, after all, as she is better in for that than at Warwick. Raglan has left for Fobert's, having changed hands, and Malibran gone to R. Cooper's. Gold pen arrived at Joseph Dawson's last week. Yes pasian is galloping with Breadalbane, and Broomielaw by himself. The Rake is all right again, but he is a mere pony after all. Doctor Syntax and the Lizard galloped a mile and three-quarters, and the former moved uncommonly free ; so did Sealskin, Vulcan, Soiled Dove, Satyr, Bertie, Anti-Maeassar, Black thorn, Grace Darling, and other horses engaged at Warwick. MALTON. The Midsummer colt was not out of the stable yesterday (Sunday), which we were quite prepared for. John Scott cannot train him. War and Westwick were walking for a day or two at the close of last week, but have got into good order again, and Knight of the Crescent and Knight of St. Michael take two or three smart gallops of a little over a mile. This morning (Monday) the Crescent galloped a mile and three-quarters fast, led by St. Michael, but he is not here liked so well for the St. Leger as Westwick, whom Jem Perrin declares will run into a place. Most of the remaining horses at Whitewall have been eased; and Taraban is an absentee. Shepherd is giving Treasure Trove a splendid preparation for s ome thi ng, an d Peck is rattling Skylark along, doing a mile and a q uar t er beauti fully. Dawson has Lina and Syceo in physic. ILSLEY. On Saturday Lord Lyon went a fast two mile and a half gallop with Split the Difference, and is the picture of health and condition. He was eased a bit yesterday (Sun day), along with others in Dover's charge, the weather, too, being unfavourable ; but to-day, after cantering a little with Gardsvisure, he followed Split the Difference in a gallop of about a mile and three-quarters. The Leger is, assuredly, a mere question of health with him. Achieve-- ment and Bust are led a mile gallopand dwaiilly,maankdeba ay aothDleorobky and go splendidly. The Colt was absen i t yesterd n d to-day. E ilaud is away y is i m proving, horse. cbB:ll:t3idflue:tog‘lvaiootvclth-i RICHMOND (YORKSHIRE)). w ferr i th ea G to ip w sy a K ts i o n n g ,s .

MARLBOROUGH. Bradamante and Pintail are both exceedingly well and ripe, and ono or the other should win the Leamington Stakes. The former has led Savernake most of his work latterly, and yesterday the Leger nag went a rattling mile and a half. Staghound and Overture have been in the hospital. Pepper's Ghost is doing a mile and three quar ters daily now, and must be remembered this autumn. Adam Bede and Captain Kidd aro walking and trotting, as are Dulcimer and Stilton, big .the three-year-old Mayonnaise filly and Nimble do two miles regularly. Savernake appears as fine as a star and is a bilhaut mover. The subscription to Dundee is fuH. Tho list of subscribers to Stockwell, at 200 guineas a mare for next season, is full. Cap Tormentor will not run for Tho Wakwick All Mr. Brayley's horses aro struck out of their War wick engagements. The three-year-old c olt, by Vengeance, out of Midis, has been named Retribution by his present owner, Lord St. Vincent. Mr. Thomas Parr bought Rebecca after she won a sellinn plate at Weymouth for 62 guineas. Exeter WRS purchased by Mr. Radcliffe, at Weymouth, on Thursday, after running in a selling plate for 51 guineas. i , .. o "''
