f?IONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL TELLIGENOii, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is becoming extremely easy through the excessive supplies of floating capital, LOW daily increased by the distribution of the Government dividends. At the same time the re quirements of the commercial community appear for the moment to be gradually diminishing, and the rates consequently tend downwards. First class trade bills are negotiable at 4* and 4,1 per cent., and bankers very short-dated acceptances at 3i and 4 per cent. The liquidation of the bi-monthly account at the Stock Exchange will be concluded this evening, and the arrangements have generally imparted firmness to quotations. Some of the railway shares and foreign stocks which were lately much depressed through speculative sales have been in request, and having to be repurchased, have consequently im proved in value. The English Funds are rather dull this morning, Consols being 891 I for money, and 89i 4 for the account.. It is generally considered probable that within a short time we shall experience an efflux of the precious metals. The rise in the price of cotton is occasioning a hardening tendency in the rates for silver, and it is not unlikely that in a day or two a demand may arise for this metal for shipment to Meanwhile those parties directly connected with the Eastern trade are awaiting the result of the fortnightly biddings which take place at the Bank of England to-morrow. A withdrawal of £BO,OOO in sovereigns took place yesterday at the bullion office of the Bank of Eng land. This amount is required for shipment to Alexandria to pay for cotton. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £5Bl 3s. 9d., on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. This day has been issued a facetious pamphlet, the title of which is " Managers and Marionettes. Addressed to Directors, Mis-Directors, and Dupes. By a Victim." It is published by Effiingham Wilson, Royal Exehange. ' It is announced that Mr. T. R. Holmes, who has been upwards of 40 years with Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., has commenced business as a bill broker, in conjunction with Mr. Rees Wood, at 48, Threadneedle-street. An important advance in the quotations of the - Venezuelan Loan has taken place in consequence of the following communication by the Government at Caracas, intimating that the portion of the duties appropriated for this debt will be again remitted :___. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, is with much pleasure that I acquaint you, for the satisfaction of those of your readers who are interested in the Venezuelan Loan of 1864, that I have this day re ceived official information from Caracas to the effect that the disturbances of the public peace in the state of Zamora, which had compelled the Government to raise a numerous army , and also for a time to consecrate to the re-establish ellt of peace all the duties set apart for l the fiscal debt, had entirely ceased, and with it the necessity for further interfering with the export duties after the end of October, and that from November 1 they would be remitted as pre viously to m ee t t h e claims of the bondholders of 1864 Loan. V enezuela is now entirely at peace at home and abroad. FREDR. H. HEMMING, Consul. 25, M oorgate-street, Oct. 15. The directors of the Port Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received advices from their resident director, R. H. Bland, Esq., dated Ch ilies, August 21st, 1866. The following is the return o f r quartz crushed for the month of July : Quartz crushed, 4,941 tons ; ditto per week, 1,235 to ns ; ditto per head per diem, 3 tons 4 cwt. 2 qrs. ; geld obtained from quartz, 1,454 ozs. 5 dwt. 12 g r s• ; ditto pyr i tes, 107 ozs. 1 d wt. ; tota l go ld , ,2561 ozs. 6 dwt. 12 grs ; average per ton, 6 dwt. B. ; loss of gold per ton, 1 dwt. 13 grs. The G ard will observe with satisfaction the improve ment in the yield, which has been fairly sustained Since t he maki ng up of the above return. This is the r esult of sampling the mine, enabling us to a e j e ct a lar ge amount of very poor quartz. Thi s o Y o ßte n l is now so well understood here as t h e on l y e n 'wher e b y t h e mine can be worked to advantage -a r't 1 hop e t h ere will be less trouble than formerly in n 4 l :Yng it o u t .

"anee of l ow yields as we have had of late. An aa lo w return, however unpleasant, has the of antage of forcing economy into all the brandies the establishment, a subject kept continually in view. The Victoria London Mining Company, Limited, hav e received advices to the 25th August last, by vh . iell i t appears that generally the undertakings in which investments have been made were progress -I°g s atisfacto r il y. A remittance on account of divi dends , receiv e d to the Ist August, of £l,OOO, has been received by this mail. In the foreign and colonial produce markets dur ing the last few days there has been a . very limited amount of business transacted. Sugars have barely h maint ained former r a t es , w hil e t h e operations in tea ,ye bee n d eferred until to-day, when a large quan ty Of new season's crop will be offered for public competition. Rice has been inactive, and a shade cheaper; while in tallow a large speculative business has been done, and prices have fluctuated to a con siderable extent. The receipts and expenditure for the month of ` T AY were as follows : Receipts ... • Total expenditure . ... £5,833 18 11 ... 4,020 4 7 Profit for month Duo Bank last month ... 1,813 14 4 ... 544 13 1 Available balance ... £1,269 1 3 The above result is, I consider, on the whole satis factory, taking into account the low yield. The debt of £544 has been cleared off, and a balance left o f £1,200 to divide between the two companies, and to carry on to this month's account.

According to Reuter's telegram from Paris, to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 95c. Not the slightest alteration has taken place in the En g li s h Funds, and all the other departments denot e an indisposition on the part of the public either to invest or speculate. With the abundance Of I "neY, however, a steadily growing trade throughout 'the United Kingdom, and with the pr evail ing confidence in th e s t a te of political affairs ho me, Consols, notwithstanding the depression usually experienced in periods of inactivity are extraordinarily firm; they are now 891 for 111°11e Y' and 8% 981 p for the account.

E. Fitch, on their success ful passage across the Atlantic in the miniature vessel.

SUICIDE BY VERMIN POWDER. —An inquest was held at Fremantle, near Southampton, on Satur day, on the body of an aged maiden lady named Stodart. It appeared that deceased was a lunatic, and had been for some years in the care of a person named Pottinger, but she was allowed to attend to small household matters. On Thursday morning deceased was seized with spasms, and upon a doctor being called in he at once said she was suf fering all the symptoms of poisoning by strychnine. An tidotes were offered, but deceased refused them all, and admitted having taken some of the contents of a packet of vermi❑ powder. She died iu about two hours. A verdict of suicide iu an unsound state of mind was returned. SUN, LONDON, '1 1 ( ESDA.Y EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1866. MIDDIESEX SESSIONS.—This Day. (Before the Asslstant Judge.) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A EORENVOMAN. Hortense Delange and Jules Delange were indicted for stealing a large quantity of lace, silk, and other articles, the property of Louis Feuillet, of the value of £lOO. The female prisoner was in the employ of the prosecutor, whose wife carried on an extensive dressmaking business at the 'West-end. Sho received £2 per week, exclusive of her board, and as she had charge of all the articles required in the business the utmost reliance was reposed • in her. The gradual disappearance of property led to a watch being kept, and it was then discovered that she was in the habit of meeting the male prisoner every evening, and it •is • supposed that he then took the articles from her and either sold or pawned them, and lived on the proceeds. He followed no occupation, but lived entirely upon the exertions of the woman, to whom he had been married nine years. A veidiet of guilty was entered. The Assistant-Judge inquired how much of the stolen property had been recovered ? The officer said about £5O or £5O worth. The prosecutor asked that the prisoners might be put back in order that some informition might be obtained about the missing property. The male prisoner said it was no use to do that, as all that they had got or even knew about the property was in the possession of the police. The Assistant-Judge said that being the case delay was useless. He thought it a most scandalous robbery, consi dering the wages the female was receiving from the pro secutor. He had no doubt she had been instigated to commit the robbery by the male prisoner, and he was not sure whether he ought not to sentence both to penal ser vitude for a long term. However:he should not pursue that course, but sentenced both prisoners to be kept in prison with hard labour for two years. The property pro duced by the pawnbroker would of course have to be re- I turned to . the prosecutrix. Henry Spencer pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a coat. When he was placed in the dock he commenced laughing at the judge iu a most im pudent manner. In answer to questions from the learned judge, Lockyer said the prisoner had been nine or ten times in custody. The Assistant-Judge remarked that he dia not appear to be of sane mind. Lockyer said he alwas.appeared to be right enough when he was in" prison. He.had picked his oakum and worked on the treadmill like a 1 the other prisoners, and but a short time ago he met him in the city ono day clothed in rags, and the next day quite respectable. On that occa sion he told him (Lockyer) that he must keep out of his way, or he would give him " the boot." The Assistant-Judge thought he had better be seen by the medical officer of the prison, as he did not seem quite of right mind. Lockyer, in reply, informed the judge that he attributed the prisoner's levity to his extreme impudence, and nothing more. The prisoner was then removed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, SAD CASE.—A BOY PROBABLY BLINDED.—Joseph Ford, a bricklayer's labourer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following assault on a boy about seven years of age, named James Allen, residing at No. 6, Wells-build ings, Wells-street, Oxford-street. The little complainant, who was led into Court, his eyes being covered with a bandage, said that he was looking down the area railings of a house in Rebecca-court, Wells street, when be saw a man down the area lime-washing the place. The man took brushuphdishiseyes a wndetrhe injured somerew and h of the couldelime-wnoat see. Clara his face, and Clara Cunningham, a young woman, said she heard a scream, and saw tho complainant in great agony. He said the prisoner had thrown some limo-wash into his eyes. She asked the prisoner if he knew what he had done, tell ing him that he had nearly blinded the boy ; and he said that it served the young vagabond right if he was blinded, as the boy had thrown a piece of glass at him, and that it almost touched his head. She bathed the child's eyes, and the father of complainant gave the prisoner into custody. The complainant said that he did not throw any glass at the prisoner. Police-constable 176 E said he took the boy to the Mid dlesex Hospital, where the surgeon said his eyes were badly injured. The prisoner said he was very sorry he had injured the boy. He had no intention of doing so, and merely shook his whitewash brush at him to get rid of him, as he had greatly annoyed him. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, and told the con ' stable to produce a certificate from the hospital next week as to the state of the boy's eyes. LAW INTELLIGENCE,—This Day• SHERIFFS' COURT. THE ACTION AGAINST SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART.-PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS. . . Yesterday afternoon, at this Court, Sir Robert Peel, Bart., accompanied by Mr. 0. Freshfield, of the firm of Messrs. Freshfield and Co., bank solicitors, attended in order to make a statement in reference to the report which appeared in the newspapers on Saturday. Mr. Osgood (registrar of the Court), explained to Mr. F. Gibbons (the deputy judge), the circumstances under which the matter came before the Court. Ile said that on the day of .trial the plaintiff attended at the Court, and stated that the goods claimed had been supplied to Sir Robert Peel, upon which his honour (in the absence of any defence), found a verdict for the plaintiff in the usual manner. He might add that the summons had been served through the officials at the Westminster .County Court, and was duly delivered to a man at the residence of the right hon. baronet, in Whitehall-gardens. Mr. Freshfield said that he now attended as the profes sional adviser of Sir Robert Peel to procure a new trial and set aside the judgment already ol►tained by the plaintiff. Sir Robert Peel knew nothing of the case until he read, to his great . astonishment, a report of it in the papers. He never heard of the plaintiff, nor had he had any of his goods, nor given any authority forsuch goods to be ordered, and he (Mr. Freshfield) confessed that it was difficult to understand how the plaintiff could have proved his case. On the day the summons was served in Whitehall-gardens, the house was closed, Sir Robert Peel being on the Continent, but he had learned within the last few hours that the process had been forwarded to Tam worth, and in some way it had been overlooked, and thus not brought under the notice of the baronet, who had now made the necessary affidavit disclaiming all know ledge of the debt. The affidavit was handed in to the registrar. His Honour said he had not presided at the trial, and was therefore not acquainted with the facts. Of course it was open to defendant to set aside the judgment by moving for a new trial, but the necessary notice must be given to the plaintiff. In cases where there was no defence offered, the Court did not go so fully into matters as in contested trials. Sir Robert Peel begged to assure his Honour that he knew nothing of either the plaintiff or his goods. li e h a d never had any application made to him for the money, nor did he know anything about the summons until he saw the case in the papeis. His Honour said it might be that some person had made a false representation in ordering the goods; bufthe course open to defendant was to apply for a new trial in the or dinary way. Mr. Freshfield said that Sir Robert was extremely de sirous to remove any false impression that the original re port of the case might have conveyed. He took the earliest opportunity of answering statements made as soon as they came under his notice. He would adopt the suggestion of his Honour, and take the necessary steps to move for a new trial. The parties then withdrew, and a notice will be served on the plaintiff in due course. . Alleged Extensive Robbery and Reception of Stolen Property. At the Mansion-house yesterday William Henry Spencer, tailor, of 1, Virginia-place, Virginia-row, Bird cage-walk, and George Peters, of 43, Old Castle-street, Shoreditch, shoemaker, were brought before Mr. Alderman Finnis on suspicion of having stolen 13 pieces of blue cloth. seven pieces of black ditto, and seven pieces of linseys from the warehouse of Mr. Moses Moses, Black Horse-yard, Aldgate, value £l4O. Moses Moses, of 30, Gravel-lane, Houndsditch, metal merchant, was also brought up on a charge of having in his possession at his marine store warehouse in Black Horse-yard, Aldgate, and at his private residence, 30, Gravel-lane, Houndsditch, a large quantity of jewellery and other property to a considerable amount, value at pre sent unknown, all supposed to have been stolen. A day or two since Moses reported at the station that his warehouse had been entered with skeleton keys, and a large quantity of blue pilot and other cloth stolen. The City detective force inquired into the matter, and in looking round the premises where the alleged robbery had been committed they observed some suspicious goods, and upon making further search they discovered a mass of property of all descriptions, for the possession whereof Mr. Moses Moses refused to give any account, and Sergeant Moss at once took him into custody. On making further search the police found a large quantity of jewellery, combs, brushes, gutta-percha, ladies' companions, military saddles, portmanteaus, copper, brass, &c. In a sack three gold watches, and under a heap of old rags a plated dinner service, of Birmingham or Sheffield manufacture. The dis covery of this property of course led the officers to search the house where the prisoner's family resided in Gravel-lane, and there the quantity and value of the things found was really marvellous, there being a great quantity of cloth, new, in pieces, gold and silver watches, diamonds, set and unset, chains, ear-rings, ornamental combs, nuggets, gold and silver ore, and valuable property of almost every de scription. Evidence as to tho taking Spencer and Peters into cth-t , Kly on suspicion of stealing the cloth was offered by the police, but the Alderman was of opinion that it was insufficient, and ordered them to be discharged. Moses was remanded for a week. Miss Mariyatt's New Novel. NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. The fogs have been so dense here of late that exercise has necessarily been delayed until late each dty, and no thing'very particular was done in consequence. Trainers, however, aro now obliged to persevere in their work, as the Houghton meeting is at hand, and the Cambridgeshire, Criterion, Glasgow, and Trot Stakes horses must be got fit for their engagements. Ambition galloped a mile and a half at a rare pace this morning, but does not seem to go firm in the market. Ostreker led Actma a mile and three quarters steadily. Sacharometer was walking. Brownie law trotted, but Breadalbane and Out and Outer galloped a , mile and a quarter fast. Saladin and Godmersham did very little. Peeress galloped a ' mile and three-quarters. Peon, Paris, and Il Re Galantuomp were working very freely. Mount Pala tine walked. Robin Hood (by Wild Dayrell) sweated. Dalesman had a beautiful mile.and a half spin with Toma hawk. Claxton was doing well. The Scheldt •was work ing, but not fast. Guiuivero and, Mineral were in slow work. Jollity had a gallop of about a mile and a half. We did not see Medina at work. The Hermit was at nice steady exercise; and so were Lochaber, Pedagogue, Stolen Kisses, Imperator, Cerf Volante, Trocadero, Dragon, Fri ponnier, and other Criterion eandidate,s looeted here. Tho Rake was .in physic. Janitor has left here. Satyr, Sunny locks, Star of India, Bombastes, Jasper,.Janua, Julius, and Pericles were in mile work. Hippia galloped with Falken stein. Chepstow was looking and going uncommonly well, doing his mile and a half most satisfactorily, as did Caithness. Regalia galloped by herself. Peter Price is getting Stradbroke forward, but he is not of Derby quality. King Charming was schooling Rus in Urbo and Blackthorn ; and Goddiug attended well to Python, the Amanda colt, Edgbaston, and Nutbourne Lad. The French-bred Floranthe sweated. Plutus was follow ing Gladiateur, and the latter appears to be getting into his old form. Marmite was out with Emigrant and Gas, but they exercised moderately. The Duke of York was spinning along ; and we also noted Breeze, Greyfoot, Loughrea, Friday, Chapel Royal, Othello, Qui Vive, Arte sian, Littleport, Novice, Cheltenham, Mazurka, Canard, 'Court Card, and several other Houghton horses in very fair work. We have now upwards of six hundred animals in our trainers hands, including a most promising lot of yearlings. StIARE MAR,KETS.This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

AN ACCOMPLISHED RUFFIAN.—John M‘Donald, aged 20, and described as a labourer, of No. 3, Devonshire-place, King-street, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Alfred Reed, a police constable 97 K, and Henry Philpot 168 K. It appeared that the prisoner had wantonly, and with out provocation, assaulted a respectable man and his wife, in Emmett-street, Poplar, and they appealed to Reed for protection. He saw that the man who was assaulted was bleeding, and the woman was crying, and asked why she should be struck by a ruffian in the public street. Reed immediately took the villain into custody, and was leading him away to the station-house when he struck him and tripped him up. A severe struggle took place, in the midst of which Philpot came up, and the prisoner turned round upon him and knocked him down, and when down kicked him. Philpot got up, and the pri soner, who used diabolical language, made a kick at the lower part of his person, which-partially took effect, and hurt him very much. A terrible struggle occurred, and the prisoner was eventually subdued and taken to the sta tion-house. It was proved that the prisoner had been in custody several times and convicted for assaults, drunken ness, and disorderly conduct. Mr. Paget commented on the savage and malicious con duct of the prisoner, and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour—one month for the assault on Reed, and two months for the assault on Philpot. Con stables had difficult and dangerous duties to perform, and must be protected. ANOTHER SAVAGE OUTRAGE ON POLICE CONSTABLES. — Thomas Clark, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget on a charge of assaulting Richard Walter and Thomas Cliff, constables of the K division, in the execudon of their duty. This morning, at two o'clock, the prisoner was making a disturbance in Salmon-lane, Limehouse, and abusing a person there. He was requested by Walter to go in doors and not make a noise. He threw a quart pewter pot at his head. It fortunately missed him. Cliff arrived directly afterwards and attempted to secure him, and the prisoner got away from him, rushed into his house, and returned into the street directly afterwards with a soda water bottle filled with pickles iu his hand, with which he struck Cliff on the helmet. The blow fell on the peak of the helmet and touched his nose ) but did not injure it. The bottle was broken into many pieces. Thomas Melrose, a working man, of No. 9, North-street, Limehouse, confirmed the statement of the policeman. Mr. Paget said that, fortunately for the prisoner, the blow inflicted with the bottle was not attended with the consequences which could be expected from so savage an assault. It was a case, however, deserving of severe punishment. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on Walter and two months and hard labour for the assault on Cliff, in all three months' imprisonment. CORONER'S INQUES r, FATAL ACCIDENT TO iIR. LOWE, ONE OF THE ADAPTERS OF THE SCREW PROPELLER. Last night Mr. W. Payne, the City and South wark coroner, held an inquest in the Board-room of Guy's Hospital on the body of James Lowe, aged 68 years. Joseph Seager, of 41, L . , , aut-street, Borough, said that about 10 o'clock on k riday night he was cross ing Horsemonger-lane from the Newington-cause way when he saw a horse and cart coming across from the Borough-road at about six miles an hour. He also saw a gentleman crossing the lane with a small hamper in his hand. When the deceased got about the middle of the road he was knocked down by the horse and trampled upon by its feet. The ' horse and cart went on about '2O yards. Deceased was picked up and taken away. Willi am Shane, of 17, Newington-causeway, said that the deceased came up to him before the accident occurred, and said, 4, What are you doing standing there —do you want to break into that place, or are you trying the shutters?" I told him that I lived there. He went away and I went with St. the Ge o rgo,shim to the corner of t he lane. He went to cross and tried to run ba ck, an d was run over by a hea v y laden sheepskin car t. When he was knocked down horse. -road, Southwark, said that he was about '2O yards down the lane where the acci dent happened when he heard some one hollow out " Stop , his C Charles lSarnith, towardss7, stop," but the driver had then passed over the deceased. Police-constable 2G6 M said that he was on duty in the Borough-road, when he heard the screams of a female, and went to the spot. He saw the deceased lying in the road, and took the carman, whose name is William Scott, and brought a stretcher, and we took the deceased to the hospital. Mr. John Humphreys, house-surgeon of Guy's Hospital, said that the deceased was brought into the hospital on Friday night, at about 11 o'clock. He had a compound fracture of the left leg and his right side loin, and he had received several other injuries. He was quite dead when ho was brought in. The Coroner having summed up the evidence at groat length, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." The prisoner, whose name is William Scott, is still in custody of the police, and will bo brought before Mr. Bu chan), at Southwark Police-court, on Friday next. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have received a letter of such gross abuse from one who signs himself " Senex," in reference to Miss Marryatt's novel, " For Ever and Ever," that I consider it desirable in the interests of lite rature to denounce this impostor who takes shelter under the anonymous, and thus tries to escape the punishment he so well merits. He signs himself " Senex." His age ought to have taught him a little decency as well as more good sense. Let him give me his real name, and not in this sneaking, un manly way attack a lady whom all who know respect.—Yours truly, RICHARD BENTLEY, New Burlington-street, Oct. 15, 1866. ADELPHI TIIEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. trust that in common justice to myself you will allow the following statement to appear in your columns : The Hues in my piece of "Ethel ; or, Only a Life," pro duced last Saturday evening at the Adelphi, referring to the riots in Hyde-park, and which caused such a tumult in the house, I beg to say were none of mine—never had been spoken at the rehearsal—and were heard by me for the first time hi common with the rest of the audience. No play—good, bad, or indifferent—could withstand the ill-feeling the words created, and, at the time, I enjoyed the satisfaction of knowing to a certainty what I had to expect at the conclusion of the drama. The interpolation was entirely due to the lady who filled the part of Judith, who, having a heavy character to sustain, thought fit to lighten it by putting a match to a powder-barrel. I am sure she regretted it, although that is poor consolation for me. However, as Englishmen do not make war upon women, and can afford to forgive a foolish act from one who is too young in years to consider tho consequences, so far, she is safe. As Englishmen also love fair play, I trust that if this explanation meets the eyes of those who tried so earnestly to assist at my defeat, they will at least repent themselves that their exertions were turned to so ill a purpose. THE AUTHOR OF "ETHEL; OR, ONLY A LIFE." Oct. 14, 1866, 2, Hare• court, Inner Temple. LORD JUSTICE" KNIGHT BRUCE tendered his re signation to the Lord Chancellor on Saturday last.

Salpinctes is going uncommonly well. THIRSK. The Hambleton horses are healthy, but very few are in active training. Sundeelah has been stopped.

To day they recommenced work, and took exceedingly well. It is very uncertain whether they will fulfil their Hough ton engagements. Possibly they are not intended to do so, or they would have continued at Newmarket another ten days or a fortnight. Gardevisure galloped a mile and a half this morning, and Jezabel led the youngsters. Grisette and Commissioner galloped together. Gay Tom went two miles, Hollyfox did a mile and three quarters and Effervescence about the same. STOCKBRIDGE. The Danebury nags were very busy this morning.

His action is beautiful; is fact, be is in rare form just now. Zenobia has been in physic. Haws well having returned home amiss, has been thrown up for a time. Nothing More galloped a couple of miles ; but Honest Tom and Dear Tom merely cantered. Roderick Random is lame. Crayons has been sold. The Aske team is trotting only. • FINDON. Thalia followed Caustic a mile and a half at beautiful speed this morning, and the pair could not possibly look or go better. Rama galloped a mile and a quarter, but at a very moderate pace. Sidewind worked steadily with Kilkenny and Lady Sophie, the three galloping very little short of a couple of miles. Potomac was cantering. The others, under William Goater's care, are doing exceedingly well. Wo have heavy fogs now each morning, which delays exercise to later hours than usual. TURF AGENCY OFFICE, 100, JERMTN-STREET, ST.

DIPLOMAS FOR GROOMS AND HELPERS.—A. sort of competitive examination has just taken place at the riding school of the Rue Duphot, Paris, the object of which was to ascertain the relative merits and attainments of grooms, helpers, and stable boys. The idea was started by General Fleury, who considered that the breed of horses would never make any serious progress in France so long as men were not properly trained to manage them. He I therefore inaugurated a system of " diplomas," which henceforth are to be distributed to coachmen, grooms, Pec., certifying their qualifications and length of apprentice ship, as well as the names of the trainers under whose teaching they have learnt their business.

SALE OF COL. TOWNELEY'S YEARLINGS AT TATTERSALL'S. Seven yearlings, bred by Colonel Towaeley at the Root Stood Farm, near Clitheroe, were brought up for sale at Tattersall's on Monday, and notwithstanding that they all looked rather rough on their coats, consequent on the advanced period of the season, and partly owing to their having been amiss from influenza during the summer, they realised the very respectable average of 180 gs. each. A good class of buyers was present ready to "invest" in any thing with racing pretensions, and we have no doubt that if a much more numerous team of the right sort had been offered none would have remained unsold. " Mr. Edmund" officiated, and the moment the first lot was placed under the rostrum he was favoured with the attention of some well-known owners of racing stock. The first lot was a colt by the young and promising sire Kettledrum from Ellermire, engaged in the Derby and St. Leger. Being by a Derby victor out of a winner of the Oaks, herself the dam I of Elland (about the best four - yea r old of the presenot am son;, the colt naturally attract ed the attention ofl i o n ra ,d, g an c , l I judges.
