NOM MARKET AND COM. ,- .IERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A stringent tendency is observable this morning in the rates of discount. The demand for accom modation continues slight, but the floating capital is less abundant, and the broker s h ave se i z ed the opportunity of enforcing 41 per cent. for the nego ciation of the best descriptions of commercial bills. On the Stock Exchange, however, money is plenti ful, and the rates from day to-day upon English Government Securities range from 2 per cent. The Stock Exchange Alarkets are inactive, and c omparatively little business is in progress. The incessant fall of rain this morning has prevented a large attendance both of members and clients, and in the absence of any special news the general quietude prevails. The. Funds remain steady, and Consols are 898 for money, and 89 for the account. About £16,000 was taken to the Bank of Eng land on Saturday afternoon. The directors of the Brazilian and Portuguese Bank have issued a circular, in which they state that a dividend on account will be paid on the 9th November next, at the rate of 3 per cent. (or 6s. per share), free of income tax, on the paid up capital of the Bank. The proprietors are informed that, notwithstanding the late crisis in England and Rio Janeiro, the institution has not sustained any loss. The rep or t s f rom the var i ous manufactur i ng dis tricts for the past week represent that business generally has remained inactive. Cloths and yarns at Manchester have barely maintained former rates, while at Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax the dealings have been confined to small parcels of goods to sort up stocks. In the hosiery and lace depart ments of Leicester and Nottingham there has been more activity, while at Birmingham most depart ments of business remained very inactive. At Sheffield and Wolverhampton, however, the receipt of considerable orders for the American and Cana dian markets has caused a more cheerful feeling. The general business of the Port of London last week continued very inactive. At the Custom house only 197 vessels were reported as having arrived from foreign ports, and there was one from Ireland. The entries outwards comprised 109 vessels, and those cleared were 132, including 16 which were despatched in ballast. The departures for the Australian colonies have been 6 vessels_ 1 to Adelaide, of 590 tons ; 1 to Sydney, of 874 tons ; 2 to Port Philip, of 1,852 tons ; and 2 to Ne w Zealand, of 1,251 tons—the total tonnage amounting to 4,570. The shareholders of the Chontales Gold and Silver Mining Company held their first general meeting to-day. The report stated that the agreement with the Foreign Lands Company has been fully and loyally carried out. The farm of Santa Gertrudez, together with the mines of San Domingo, La Trini dad, Cabazales, and Concepcion, have all be'en trans ferred to this company. The Consuelo, Estrella, and San Antonio mines have been purchased, paid for, and the titles confirmed to this company. The direc tors, however, regret to state that, notwithstanding that continued negotiation, the Javali mine has been unexpectedly purchased over their heads, upon terms to which your directors could not have sub mitted. The Chontales shareholders will, however, rejoice to learn, that they are more than compen sated for the loss of the Javali Aline by the acquisi tion which the company has made in the purchase a nd possession of a water-power of larger magni tude in th e same stream. They h ave a l so t h e ad vantage of possessing over 2,000 varas (nearly equivalent to a yard English) of the Javali Lode, extending, beyond the boundary of the Javali Mine. T Chontales Company therefore now possess abun dant water-power for all purposes, without being dependent on the Javali Mine. The total e , n3 t, including th e va l ua bl e mineral rights on the Jav ali Lod e , did not excee d 4 , 500 d o ll ars, w hil e th e Jav ali Mine i s reporte d t o h ave cos t it s p urc h asers 15 capit al of doll ars. Y our di rectors b e li eve t h a t th e 4 e s apital of t hi s Company can be much more advan tageously expended in developing the resources of the Company's property. Two o'CLoc K.

'l r e are requested to state that the Royal Bank of India, the Bombay Presidency Bank, the India, Peninsula Bank, and the Brokers' Banking Corn- Pai l of Bombay, are not in course of liquidation as that by a list published in the Bullionist, but ~, they conti nue b us i ness as usua l. Business in the Corn Market to-day continues rat her dull, but the few samples of home-grown wheat on offer found buyers at an advance of 2s. to 38 . per quarter on last Monday ' s current rates. Barley, beans, peas and flour were unaltered in Value. Though all the markets in the Stock Exchange are dull, the variations are limited, yet presenting a .slight degree of heaviness. Consols remain at 89 i for • money, and at 89 for the account. The inclement state of the weather is no doubt the cause of the immediate diminution of business.

The jury having retired to their room, in a short time after the trials commenced. A gentlemanly-dressed man named Henry Rymor sur rendered to an indictment charging him with misdemeanour. No evidence was offered and a verdict of not guilty returned. An elderly man named Donaldson surrendered to an indictment charging him with accusing Mary Ann Deans one of the nurses at Middlesex Hospital, with gross im morality with one of the patients of the institution. The facts of the case have been so fully reported that it is un necessary to repeat them. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—On Saturday afternoon the Queen of Denmark and the Princess of Wales, accompanied by the Duchess of Cam bridge, Princess Thyra, and Prince Waldemar, and attended by the Hon. Col. Home-Purves and Major Giey, visited the palace. The royal party inspected the fine art courts and the various objects of interest in the palace, including the Red White and Blue, the little Atlantic ship, with which they seemed much pleased. Captain Hudson was in attendance, and presented photographs to the royal party of The Wee Craft and her crew. A spacial display of the great fountains took place in the afternodu. The Saturday concert took place as usual, the artistes being Madlle. Lieb hardt, Miss Julia Elton. and Mr. W. H. Cummings. Beet hoven's " Eroica" symphony, a madrigal from Gounod's now opera " La Colombo," and the'overture to Mr. Arthur Sullivan's new 'opera " The Sapphire Necklace" were in cluded in the programme. After the concert the Palace was illuminated for promenade, and Edmond's chromatic fairy fountain played on the great stage.

GLADSTONE IN PARIS.LA Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige Bays :—" Mr. Gladstone is expected in Paris about the 15th November. Tht Societe des Economistes, of which M. Michel Chevalier is chairman, aro preparing to give him a welcome. It has been deCided to offer a grand banquet to the illustrious English statesman." A MECHANICAL HORSE.--The last novelty in the way of locomotion is to be found among the many wonders of the Groat Exhibition. It consists in a mechanical horse, which trots, gallops, or walks, as may suit the pleasure of the rider. Hu even prances after the most approved style, and neighs when that sound is agreeable to its pos sessor. This nesi mode of locomotion cannot be recom mended on ',,ho score of cheapness, as it costs above 52,000 f. to construct. STAKE MONEY.—We see it stated in Bell's Life that no less a sum than X 15,000 passes annually through their hands as stakeholders for the various matches chro nicled in its columns. As racing, steeplechasing, coursing, cricket, and some other features which go to make up the large broad sheet of our contemporary, do not contribute anything towards the above . amount, it would seem that whether money be worth sor 4 per cant, there is not much lack of it amongst the sporting section of the com munity. A ship is now in Portland roadstead in which Casely, the Cornhill burglar, and other convicts are to be deported to "Western Austrialia. Sir C. L. Wyke, K.C.8., late Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Hanover, arrived in town on Thursday evening from Germany. A correspondent writes :—" All persons of the names of Jones, Johns, Williams, Evans, Wallis, Richards, Thomas, Edwards, Powell, from Ap-Howell, Price from Ap-Rice, or Ap-Rees, are of Welsh descent. The late Lord Chancellor, whose surname is Bothell, from Ap-Ithil, is of Welsh extraction. Vyvian, Trevelyan, Trevannion, Pendenuis, Penaneddee, Pennington, Penrose, Polking horns, are names of persons descended from Cornish Celts. One million of the inhabitants of Great Britain were born in Ireland. The Irish in London are more numerous than the whole population of the city of Naples."

In this usually quiet watering place the circum stance, of course, varied the general monotony, and im parted something like excitement to the inhabitants. After firing several shots at the whales they were at last secured and dragged ashore. The larger whale measured 23 feet from the nose to the tip of the tail, and the smaller one 18 feet, both being of proportionate breadth. A man named Bryant, upwards of 80 years of age, was knocked down and killed at Barnet on Thursday. The deceased was crossing the course, and came in contact with Arlescott, whilst he was cantering, previously to th open ing race. MARKETS.---This Day. MARK LAN/;. The country markets held on Saturday wore active for swheat, at 2s to 3s per quarter more money. All kinds of pring corn commanded very full prices, with only limited supplies on offer. On the continent wheat is still rising in price. The de mand for export has increased. Barley and most other kinds of produce have realised extreme rates. The Ame rican markets come very high. The imports of foreign and colonial grain, &c., into Lon don, last week were-2:1,362 quarters of wheat, 5,121 barley, 30,612 oats, 5,642 linseed, 9,291 rape-seed, 2,951 maize, 181 sundries, and 53 sacks and 2,759 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale in our market to day was very moderate. For both red and white qualities the demand was active, and a clearance of the stands was effected, at au advance iu the quotations compared with Monday last of 3s par qr. The condition of the samples was tolerably good. Foreign wheat—the show of which was tolerably ex tensive—moved off freely, at quite 2s per qr above the rates current on this day serf-night. Fine barley was scarce, and in request, at extreme rates. Grinding and distilling sorts sold at irregular quo tations. The malt trade was steady, at previous currencies. Good sound oats were Gd per quarter dearer. Inferior parcels were held firmly, on former terms. Beans commanded very little attention. Prices, however, were supported. Tho sale for peas was inactive, at late rates. There was an improved demand for flour, and prices had au upward tendency. Floating cargoes of grain were dearer. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale this morning. The trade was heavy in the extreme, and the quotations declined fully 4d per 81bs. The quality of both beasts and sheep was tolerably good. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were on the increase, and in fair condition. The unfavourable state of the weather compelled buyers to operate cautiously. All breeds of beasts, therefore, moved off heavily, at 4d per Bibs less money. The top figure was 58 per 81bs. The supply front Ireland was limited, and there were no arrivals from Scotland. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 1,500 short horns, &c., from other parts of England, 600 various breeds, and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. _ _ _ Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only moderate all breeds met a heavy sale, at a decline in the quotations of fully 4d per 81bs. The best Downs and half breds sold at 5s 8d to 6s per 81bs. The show of calves was tolerably good, and sales pro gressed slowly at a decline of 4d per 81bs. The highest price was 5s 2d per 81bs. • We were extensively supplied with pigs, which moved off heavily. Prices declined 2d to 4d per 81bs.

SPORTING NOTES. --o The last of the recognised legitimate meetings for the season takes place at head-quarters during the present week, commencing to-day, and concluding on Saturday next. The great race of the week—the Cambridgeshire Stakes—takes place to-morrow, in which a large num ber of horses may be expected to start. Out of the lot, however, I shall content myself —as in the Cesarewitch with alluding to those only which appear to have a chance, and limit my selection to the following eighteen horses, from which division I expect the winner will turn up. Ago st. lb. Trainers. Brown Broad Xi 3 7 9 Porter. Affidavit Dales Man 3 7 5 llayhoe. Etoile Filaute Caithness 3 7 3 Price. Claxton Paris 5 6 12 Pryor. Abergeldie Life Guardsman 3 6 7 Saunders.

The selection is somewhat different from those I gave in my article of last week, as for Master Richard, Duke of York, Sidowind, and Black Prince, I have substituted Brown Bread, Affidavit, Life Guardsman, and Moldavia. I look upon the first-named, who is at New market under the care of young Thomas Dawson, as the most formidable outsider in the race, and if he does not run into a situation I shall be very much surprised. lie was fifth in the Chesterfield Cup, with 9st on his back, earlier on this year, when quite unprepared, and with 71b ess ou his back, if in anything like his last year's Cesare witch form,when, carrying 7st 131 b and after twisting a plate, he ran a good fourth, he would make the best of them gallop. Affidavit is backed in downright earnest by the French division, and as just before Goodwin he ran Sultan (the winner of the Stewards' Cup) to a neck at a difference of of 41b only, he must have a great chance. The partisans of Moldavia cannot grumble at his weight, asdh:vlrereas to carrying but 21b less in this race last year; al? .Oued an in creaseNu, who ran second, the Admiral has a p t; your last Raving discussed the chances of tho o , t ciosa arguments, of two stone, he has only inereasYrtsrheinformer 51b. number, it is not worth while repeaotinosayl that I have and I shall at once proceed t ix, and Thalia, great - faith in the following* Adergeldie, Chepstow, Xiferenco for the three first and of these I have most Preession that the right money named.

Ihe " All-Aged Stakes • bids fair ......... of 1, 200 L 7 1 7 to be the most exciting event of the week, as there i s every probability of the two cracks, Lord Lyon and Utladiateur, contesting. for it; and although Friponnier is engaged in it, there is very little doubt in my mind that it will rest between the two best horses of their year, who can each boast of a triple victory, in winning the Two Thousand, Derby, and St.. Leger; but I have always held that the French horse is of a far superior class to Lord Lyon, and I expect to see my opinion corroborated by the former winning easily. In the absence of Grand Cross I should stand FAKIR for the Glasgow Stakes, and CLAymmE ought to win the Sweepstakes of 50 soya each. Oa Thursday the Free Handicap Sweepstakes will probably bring out Rustic, Vespasian, Strathconan, Janitor, ono of Count Bathyany's, and LECTURER, for which latter, however, it looks on paper a really good thing, in the absence of Staghound, to whom he has to give 101 b. For the Troy Stakes I have the greatest fancy for Mr. Merry's representative, MARKSMA' MR. EWART, M.P., IN DITMPRIES. Oa Tuesday night the member for the Dumfries Dis trict of Burghs addressed a meeting of his Dumfries con stituency in the Mechanics'-hall, which was well filled on the occasion. Provost Turner occupied the chair, and briefly introduced Mr. Eivart, who was received with cheers. He said—Mr. Provost and gentlemen, it is not without emotion that I hear those testimonies of your kind regard, which you still honour me by bearing towards me. It is true, as my excellent friend the Provost has said, that 1 have been in the practice of coining here, I believe with scarcely an exception, annually since I have had the honour of representing you. 1 think it is a wholesome thing for a_ member to seo his constituency, and for those whom ho has the honour of representing saying to him what they think proper, so that he should acquire from this return to his mother earth—as in the fabled mythology of old— new force and new vigour and . new resolution to support that which is good in his propositions to the Legislature, and to oppose all that he deems to be evil. (Applause.) Now, gentlemen, I can truly say that what ever may have been the effects of the opinions of others on my conduct, it has always been animated by a desire to do my duty, and I have been sustained in that desire by the kind reward with which you have allowed it to be attended. Iu the few words which I shall address to you I shall advert in the first place to domestic affairs; in the second place, to what has happened abroad; and in the third place, to the humble endeavours of myself to carry into effect what I thought was for the general benefit of the country. With regard to domestic matters, it would be almost impassible to avoid bringing first the great question of Reform. That is a question that agitates the country from the one end to the other; and although persons may take dill, rent views of it, they all see the injustice of the present state of things. What are the evils under which we are at present suffering ? An inadequate representation of the people is the most obvious. In the next place, there is a most unequal division of the localities that send members to Parliament ; and, in the third place, I grieve to say that we have in England, at least, and per haps in Ireland, but, Z am happy to say, not in Scotland, manifest indications of corruption. I hold that the real remedies for these evils aro that, in the first place, there should be a more equal distribution of constituencies. In the neighbourhood of where I reside in England there is ono town belonging to a noble Marquis that returns two mem bers, and another small place whero a few hundred voters return two'members. That is an anomaly that should be done away with, and that can only be done by a re-arrange ment of the localities that send members to Parliament, so as to make them more adapted to the requirements and the necessities of the age in which wo live. I need not say that I hold the extension of the franchise to be indispen sable fer the security and welfare of the country. IR the last session of Parliament, we were offered a fair compro mise of this question, which was rejected. I know not what we shall have offered to us by the other party, the present Government. Of their liberal tendencies you are all aware. (Laughter.) Whatever may be their tendencies —whether liberal or not —I believe they will be obliged to fellow the impulse of the popular tide, and to concede some thing to the people. Now, what may that be ? I heard ono member of the present Conservative party advocate Reform to the extent of household suffrage ; and I have heard the Attorney-General of the late Government advocate the same thing; and if the present Government offered house hold suffrage, I would deem it my duty, as far as I could, to support it; if it was the general opinion of the House of Commons, I would not be one to oppose it. From the speeches to which I have referred, I deem it not impossible that such a proposition may be made by the present Con servative Administration. But, as I said before, it is im possible to go on without a proper and fair distribution of the localities which send members to Parliament. The hon.gentleman went on to say that he should like to see the system of voting-papers in use at University elections adopted at elections generally, and to condemn the disgrace ful-state of corruption in which recent inquiries had shown a number of English boroughs to be. In Scotland he was not aware that any corruption existed at all, which ho attributed to the superior education of the people. But corruption was not confined to political affairs; it had ex tended to the money market ; and in recent speculative proceedings there had been a want of British honour and of common prudence which reminded them of the days of Sir Robert Walpole and the South Sea Scheme. He went on to say that ho hoped next session would see the aboli tion of Church rates, and some effetive dealing with that colossal iniquity the Irish Church, which proceeded on the assertion of the supremacy of the Church of the minority over the Church of the people of the country. He then referred to the state of India and the famine prevailing in some districts, and said that two things required for her prosperity next to governing her justly were increased Means of irrigation—water being, so to speak, the life-blood of India—and increased communication by road and rail lie next alluded to the result of the war in Germany, and the consolidation of the German empire, which ho regarded as beneficial to Europe; he congratulated the working classes on their prescience in upholding the cause of the North against the South in the American war; and de plored the error made by the Emperor of the French in in terfering with the affairs of Mexico, which furnished a use ful lesson to politicians. He believed that the proposed foreign interference in the affairs of Romewould meet with a similar fate, and be contemptuously rejected by the Ita lian people. He then glanced at his own legislative efforts in connection with the abolition of capital punishment, the introduction of the decimal system, the extension of free libraries, and university reform ; and after thanking his constituency for the trust so long reposed in him, said he hoped, whenever he resigned his honourable position, lie should restore that trust to them uneoutarninated. (Cheers.) On the motion of Dr. M'Culloch, seconded by Councillor Ewing, a vote of continued coufi fence in Mr. Evart ai unanimously agreed to. SOUTIIA3IPTON, Oct. 20.—(Reuter's Telegram.) The North German Lloyd's steamer New York, flout New York on the 7th, has arrived. On the Bth she spoko the steamer Bremen. The New York experienced ale fino went ommenced her to the morning of the 13th, when a hea v y g c from the eastward, incr easin g to a hurricane at 4 p.m., and at 7 sho shipped a heavy sea, completely sweepin wo seamen g her for ward deck. The sh i p' s chief carpenter and t w e re killed and two others hounded. No n ews has been received of the Saxonia, which left NeW York at tho same time as the New York, and doubtless encountered the same weather. The bodies of the two p o rters who accompanied the party which recently met with the fatal accident on Mont Blanc have been found, but no trace has yet been discovered of the remains of Captain Arkwright. or BIRDFORTII, but it must not be overlooked that.

A FUSEE ILAN. NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (TILES DAY.) NEWMARKET. In the course of Saturday and yesterday the arrivals o "provincial" horses—we use the word "provincial," because Newmarket is generally considered to bo the " metroplis' of the turf—were numerous; consequently bushiess on the heath has been exceedingly lively. This morning Aber geldie, Aches, Bradamante, Brown Bread, Bugler, Cran ford, Dulcimer, Etoil Filante, Lady - of Coverdale, Lifo Guardsman, Lively, Miss Haworth, Moldavia, Ostregor, Paris, Peon, Pepper's Ghost, Pluto, Rococo, Scarborough, The Squire, The Star, The Czar, Thalia., Valiant, Vigor ous, Wild Agnes, Xi, and Zenobia were amongst the Cam bridgeshire "strangers" who exercised ; and in addition to them we had several of the Newmarket representatives for that race at work, including Broomielaw, Out and Outer, Vespasian, the Scheldt., Mineral, the Duke of York, Sultan, Saladin, Jollity, Na, Godmershain, Medina, Fluerette, Puebla, Dalesman, Tomahawk, Guiuivere, Ambition, 11 Re Galantuomo, Mount Palatine, Caithness, Chepstow, Ro land, &c. Drowett set Ostreger to take Actrea a clipping mile and a half, and the mare continues to move so freely that there cannot be a question about her ability to secure a place in the last big handicap of the legitimate campaign. Goodwin sent Nu and Godmersham along smartly, but neither will do. Bloss will probably start Out-and-Outer and Vespasian, as he was attending well to thorn. Amongst the Continental team we noticed Affi davit, Etoile Filante, and Charmette especially, doing first class, but the latter again showed a deal of temper. Pen bill took Chepstow a mile and a half clipping, and the colt went uncommonly kind to-day ;heis in the 'very pink of condition, and it is generally believed here that Kenyon will bo up, but ugly reports are about respecting the horse's age. Caithness again worked by himself ; and there is no fear of ". the changes being rung.' Henry Goator had both Abergeldie and Proserpino in nice work. Each looks in superb condition, and it is under stood they will both go on their merits, " Lord Freddy" having sold the filly to Sir Frederick Johnstone for £2,500, and also transferred his affection to the colt. If, therefore, Abergeldie is really better than Proserpine, the former is worth backing to win and for a place ; and it must not be overlooked that he was highly tried just before the Derby, and entrusted with a lot of good money for the Epsom event. Wild Agnes had a beautiful mile and a quarter gallop. Pryor gave Paris and Peon a mile and a half steadily ; and the former, barring his infirm legs, appears very well. Alec Taylor had Bradamaute, Pepper's Ghost, Bugler, and Dulcimer exercising freely ; but if there is any hope for Fyfield it must be centred in Pepper's Ghost, for the Cesarowitch running of Bradamante and Dulcimer cannot be reversed with Proserpino and Actaaa,. Elliott gave Moldavia and Zenobia a mile and a half gallop each ; but the former appeared to tire at the finish. Jollity had a similar gallop to the north country horses. Brown Bread has not had a real good gallop for some time now, and is unsound. Old Tom Dawson sent The Czar and Rococo nearly a mile find three quarters, and to us they appeared big, as they sweated much upon being pulled up. Lozenge went beautifully, and is a good outsider. The Star and Xi galloped rather loss than a mile and a half, and the latter is not only the best goer, but the best looking of the pair, and if Sir Joseph Hawley backs him freely he is sure to bo danger ous, as he strikes us as having materially improved since we saw him give Plutus a stone and a half in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, and then run him to a length a very good performance. Mr. Hodgman has brought both Valiant and Vigorous, but their looks do not say much for their chances. The Osborne brothers are here with Miss Haworth and Lady o: Coverclale, whom they galloped a mile and three quar ters, their action being easy. William Day sent Scar borough, Queen Mary, and Cranford a mile and a half, but now that. Sir Frederick Johnstoue has become the owner of Proserpine (and the baronet is to have the stakes and all if the filly pulls this race off), the first-mentioned animal is certain not to bo "exposed" this journey. Thalia goes uncommonly free, and has a great pace ; in fact, she has been tried within a trifle of Raina.'s form. Mount Palatine did not do much ; but Robin Hood had a mile and a half spin. We should think neither of them will run ; nor even The Duke of York. The latter is very fit, though, but has other engagements, wherein he has a better prospect of ex ercise. Dalesman went the best of the Baron's trio, and there is notruth in tbe.report that Tomahawk has beaten him and Guinivere in a trial. Claxton was tried on Saturday after noon (we believe with Quick March) and won. Our readers will remember that some days back we called attention to a great improvement having been effected in this animal. He has received a good preparation, and being eased yester day,went a mile and a half clipping this morning. Fluerette, we repeat, is very light, still she goes free. Life Guardsman had a rare good gallop of nearly a mile and three quarters, and he, too, looks much improved. Roland, Pluto, and Ambition each galloped over a mile and a quarter, fast, but Lively very " dotty." Klarinska gave Taraban some nice quiet work; and Achievement gal loped three-quarters of a mile, her action being as superb as ever. The Hermit and Dragon were eagerly watched- The former did slow work only, but the latter exercised, smartly. The Paln'er went a mile steadily. Friponnier a like distance, but sharper, and has improved in tempera ment. Lord Lyon galloped a mile and a half/. and Rustic a further length than that. Both are looking and going beautifully. Lecturer had a three-parts speed gallop of - q t:irt e nearly a mile and a half. Strathconan went a little short mile o n f til g ao couple entl y o . of i miles. ehia h V a a d u b a a n t; e g e al galloped steady rs of a gallop.e e Breadalbane, Christmas Carol, Kangaroo, Breeze, A r k a ns a s, Landlord, Miss Harriette, Panacea, Tha lassius, Violent, Custard Castle, Liza r d, Coun tersign, Kingmaker, Chapel Royal, Kingsley, Quick March, Douro, Earl of Derby, Haphazard, Polly Perkins, Pantaloon, Dunsany, Janitor, • Oppressor, Slender, The Peer, Glendusk, Hollyfox, and a heap of others were doin g a fair amount of work ; and amongst the strong mlttevro o f colt, Flambant, Stolen Kisses, Lochaber, ,1 1 . 0 1 ck d s, g two year olds iu good exercise we noticed the Ines, Blinkhoolie, Nicolet, Star of India, Sus) Flemings, Prodigal, Imperator, Cerf .

The Gloucestershire Stakes. —Tho objection lodged against Steamboat for the Gloucestershire StAkes, run at Cheltenham, on Tuesday, fell to the ground in con sequence of the conditions imposed upon objectors not having been complied with. Mr. T. V. Morgan intends carrying the case before tho Jockey Club, but they aro bound to decide it against him. KELSO.—ANGLING TUE TWEED AND TEVIOT. —TIIO sport of angling has been pursued during the last week with varied success. On several of the days the sport was indifferenti owing in a measure to the clearness of the water. In the streams , however, severa l large fish have been captured; and on Monday last, where there was a good breeze on the rivers, the sport was exceedingly good. In the Sproutson lower water, Mr. Longhorn killed four fish on Monday, some of them of heavy weight; an d the Rev. Mr. Hill Scott captured two salmon. Ou Thursday and Friday, four salmon were caught in the Sproutso; water, two of them weighing 231 b. and 211 b. respectively. —The Scokinan. 1
