MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The desire of bankers, merchants, and others to have large balances at the end of the quarter when the balances are struck very naturally creates a strong demand for accommodation. Among the numerous applicants for assistance at the Bank are Several brokers, who are also in want of money. The rate in the open market is therefore firm at 3 per cent. There were no bullion operations at the Bank yesterday. The share list of the Steam Biscuit and Flour Company will be closed on Monday next for Lou don, and on Tuesday for country applications. The West London Docks and Warehouses Com pany have made a call of £2 per share payable at the Bank of London on the 21st July. The Metropolitan Ice Company (Limited) is to be wound up, and the Master of the Rolls has ap pointed Mr. John Lovering, accountant, official liquidator. The Finance Committee of the Corporation of the City of London have invited proposals for the second issue of City Debenture Bonds of £200,000, in sums of £l,OOO, £5OO, or £lOO each, for periods of not less than eleven, or more than eighteen years, bearing interest at the rate of 4f per cent. The bonds are secured by the net produce of the City duty of 4d. per ton on coals brought into London, and also upon the general revenues of the Corpora tion. Two o'CLocx. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 66 f. 30c. Heavy. • The English Stock Market has been firmly sup- Ported to-day, and a rise of f per cent. has taken Place. The purchase of £9,000 Reduced Annuities by the Government broker has had a favourable influence upon quotations. Consols for money are 8 98 90, and for the account 90. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 898 ; Exchequer Bills, is. to 4s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1041 4 ; Enlaced 4 per Cents., 908 ; and Bonds, 17s. prem. Foreign Securities, which were very dull and heavy a t the opening, are now firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 74 I ; do. Consolidds, 49 1 ; Mexican, 258 ; do. New, 241 8 ; Greek, 20} 21 ; Spanish Passive, 308 e ; do. Certificates, 141 15 ; Italian, 651 66 ; and Confederate Loan, 6 8. Business in the Railway Share Market has not been very active, but in one or two instances prices have shown rather more firmness. Lancashire and Yorkshire and North-Western have each improved s s. ; ;and Great Eastern, Metropolitan, and North Eastern (Berwick) each ; Brighton, however, have declined 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous shares remain in mode rate request at steady rates.

NOBLE TRADERS.—Some forty years ago the man about town, one of the most brilliant of dandies, and the idlest and poorest of well-born "fashionables," wedded the daughter of a man in a lucrative but not a dig nified business. Tho dandy addressed himself to master its details, and for 80 years he has himself been at the head of it. There are scores of scions of good stock whose re venues come from the counting-house, and who make no secret of it. Others are a little ashamed of their position. One of the oldest wholesale and retail firms in London is carried on under names whose owners were gathered to their fathers a century ago. The real proprietors are never seen upon the premises, and the highly salaried manager of the business is bound never to reveal their names or whereabouts. By-and-bye they will know better and be ashamed of their weakness.—Athermum. `_ orted coded donel rden se at ore a ;lace, reath ents ; ore a sows• I dia and , woro I IaCO erries nonds los of t the S nt d. that sell in whioh iaupu urday, f Eng t were I rest- 1 en' Giros cardo, lnaoro, haw ig , :arl of A the t Dun- , Lady r Hood aptaiu lersou, family [inner louse rrence, Roth" [ Uiss non. r, grs' Ir.

(Before Mr. Register Brougham.) IX RE J. E. TYRIE-A LATE MEMBER OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE AND HIS LIABILITIES. This bankrupt was described as late of the Stock Ex change and Knight's Hill, Norwood, a stock jobber, and to-day was appointed for the proof of debts. The claims already on the file amount to nearly £22,000, of which, however, a large amount is disputed. Amongst the credi tor are—Mr. Elmslie, solicitor, of Lombard-street, £l,OOO ; Messrs. Fortnum and Mason, Italian warehousemen, &c., Piccadilly, £lOO ; Mr. Followes, gentleman, St. John's wood, £250 ; Mr. Edward Lewis, attorney, Great Marl borough-street (amount disputed), £2,200 ; Mr. Thomas Lloyd, bill discounter, Lombard-street, £375 ; Mr. Stehn, Old Corn Exchange, £l,OOO ; Sovereign Life Office, about £378; Mr. Turner, solicitor, Lincoln's-Inn- Fields, £1,000; trustees under the estate of the late Mr. Mandsley, £2,000 ; Mr. Trollope, upholsterer, Parlia ment-street, £3OO ; Mr. Bainbridge, Winchester, £6,000 ; and the bankrupt states that he gave bills for this amount to be discounted to help him to pay off other loans, but has received no consideration for them. The following tailors figure as creditors :—Messrs. F. Barker and Co., 70, Corn hill, £75 ; Mr. Games, Finch-lane, £7O ; Mr. Smalipage, 43, Maddox-street, £6OO. The bankruptcy is ascribed to the petitioner's having been sued on bills for which he had no consideration. THE COMMISSIONER'S ADVICE TO COUNSEL. During the progress of a case, Mr. Sargood and Mr. Robertson Griffith had a trifling altercation upon some unimportant matter, and his Honour said that he wished counsel would really confine their attention to the business before the Court, as a groat deal of time was wasted in private quarrels which were most uninteresting. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Beforo Mr. Dasent.) TEBB T. LEE-AGENTS AND LAWYERS-A LITTLE PRO FESSIONAL SCENE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an auctioneer, against his porter, to recover damages alleged to have been incurred in consequence of the defendant's having delivered a wrong article to one of the bidders at a public sale. Plaintiff came to the court attended by an agent, who, greatly to the indignation of the attorneys regularly prac tising in the court, occupied a seat at the registrar's table, and held in his hand a bundle of papers. In the course of the case the two legal gentlemen alluded to expressed their annoyance whenever the agent interfered, and upon one occasion his Honour asked for a paper, which the agent said he had mislaid. Again a muttered objection was taken to his addressing the court, and the judge having occasion to leave the bench for a few moments, one of the attorneys, who appeared to be unable to restrain himself any longer, rose and exclaimed somewhat imperatively (pointing at the same time to the agent), "Who is that gentleman ? Is he an attorney ?" Before any answer could be given to that question, Attorney (No 2) broke in with, "Ah ! who is that per son ? I should very much like to know who he is. (To the agent, in a loud voice) —Who aro you, sir? I should very much like to know who you are." Mr. Wilson (the registrar)—He is an agent. Attorney (No. 2) —What right has ho to occupy that seat. Attorney (No. 1)—I shall object to his remaining in that seat any longer. Mr. Wilson—He is not standing by the side of the plain tiff, but merely sitting down. I have given him permission to occupy that chair. Attorney (No. 2) —Then I object, and say it would not be allowed at Clerkenwell. Attorney (No. 1) —He must not occupy that seat any longer. I call upon you, sir, to retire. Agent (smiling)—Oh !I am sure I have no wish to in trude at all. Mr. Wilson—You can remain where you are. Attorney (No. 2) —Indeed he cannot. I say it is most improper and unfair to the legal profession. That chair is not a proper place for any agent to sit in. Attorney (No. 1 (with great warmth)—l call upon the agent to retire from that seat. Tho Agent—Oh, I am sure I will retire. The agent then left the chair, notwithstanding that the registrar desired him to remain, and took a seat behind that apportioned to the legal profession ; the case resulting in a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STABBING A FEMALE, AND ASSAULTING a POLICE CON STABLE.—John Wm. Selling, a groom, living at 3, Chester mews, Belgrave-squaro, was charged before Mr. Mansfield, with stabbing Anne Williams, who described herself as employed in army works, and also with assaulting Police-constable George Wilson, 156 C. The prosecutrix said -Last night as I was walking along Berkeley-street, the prisoner and five or six others came up to me, and one of them said, IN here are you going to-night ? Will you have a drop of gin ?" She re fu ed, stating that she was going to see her aunt, and ono of the men then pulled up her clothes, and the prisoner took out a knife and stabbed her in the side of the head, wounding her and saturating her with blood. Mr. Mansfield—Where was your head dressed ? Prosecutrix--At the station-house, by the surgeon. Mr. Mansfield—Did you know the men before ? Prosecutrix—No, Sir. Mr. Mansfield—How do you get your living ? Prosecutrix—By army work sewing. Police-constable George Wilson, 156 C—Between two and three this morning the prosecutrix came up to me and complained of having been stabbed with a knife. I asked if she knew who had done it, and she said she should know the person again. As I was taking her towards the hospital we saw a number of men who had been drinking at the corner of Dover-street, and the prosecutrix pointed out the prisoner as the man who stabbed her. He denied it. The men were about 100 yards from where the prosecutrix first spoke to me. The prisoner had been drinking, but was not drunk when I took him into custody. Mr. Mansfield—Was the prosecutrix sober ? 7onstable—Not quite, Sir. While on the way to the station-house, and while I was speaking to the prosecu trix, the prisoner tried to get away, tripped me up, and we both fell. Another constable came to my assistance, and we got the prisoner to the station. I found a knife in his possession. Mr. Mansfield—Were there any traces of blood on it, or on the prisoner's hands ? Constable—There were not, sir. Mr. Mansfield—ls there any certificate from the doctor ? Constable—No, sir. Mr. Mansfield—There ought to be a doctor's certificate in all cases of stabbing. I will remand the prisoner for seven days ; but as there is no witness to the matter, and the case rests entirely on the evidence of the prosecutrix, I will take two sureties in £5O each for the prisoner's ap pearance in a week. RETURNING FROM CRE➢lORNE.—Harriett Watkins, about 20 years of age, wearing a white figured silk dress, a white crape shawl, and a turban hat with a largo white feather, and whose appearance was somewhat that of an Oriental Sultana, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with wilfully damaging the hat of Mr. Wm. Thomas, gentleman, residing at 43, Albemarle-street. Mr. Thomas said—The prisoner accosted me in Albe marle-street between 2 and 3 this morning. I met with a constable and asked him to see the prisoner away. He declined to do so, saying he was not on duty. The prisoner tried to prevent me going into my hotel. The porter then came out, and the prisoner seized my hat and kicked it against the railings, smashing it so that it is not worth anything. What I object to is the treatment I received. Prisoner —He brought me from Cremorne and promised me a cab home, and because he would not keep his word I took his hat. Mr. Thomas—Oh ! that is not the case. She rode inside the cab with two friends of mine, but I was outside. Mr. Mansfield—Then you did not bring her from Cremorne ? Mr. Thomas—Oh, no, it was my friends. Prisoner—You and your friends brought me from Cremorne and promised me a cab home. Allwood, 186 C—l saw the complainant and the prisoner struggling together. The complainant could not get his hat away, and the prisoner smashed it. Mr. Mansfield ordered the prisoner to pay 10s. for the damage, and a fine of 55., or 14 days in default. THAMES. A LOUD OF THE CREATION.—MURDEROUS ASSAULT.— Henry Waters, describai as a runner to an outfitter, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Ann Smith, whose appearance in the witness box created great sympathy and indignaticu. Her face was contused and swollen, and her eyes blackened. She was very ill and weak from loss of blood. The prisoner and the complainant have been cohabiting together for some time ftS man and wife, and their con nexion has been a most unhappy one. The prisoner has frequently beaten the complainant, and on ono occasion he broke her arm. She was under medical treatment in the London Hospital. She forgave him that outrage. Yester day evening, when ho came home, his tea was not ready, and he expressed his displeasure, and said ho expected his meals to be ready when he came home—that he was lord and master of the house, and that he would be obeyed. Some words ensued, and the prisoner kicked and beat the woman in a savage manner about tha head, face, and body. She escaped from the house, covered with blood, and made known her ill-usage to Adam Carr, a police-constable, No. 40 H, who went to the house, and found the prisoner in bed and asleep. The prisoner said he was greatly provoked and abused by the woman, and that she was continually using a very foul tongue. Mr. Partridge—Why do you live with her ? You have ill-used her More. You aie a great brute. I sentence you to three mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London met yesterday at the Guildhall, for the despatch of public business. H. De Jersey, Esq., deputy and under-sheriff, the chairman of the commission, presided. THE RECENT FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN LEADENIIALL MARKET. The Chairman brought up a report from the General Purposes Committee, to whom it was referred at the last Court, "to inquire into the particulars of the late fire in Leadenhall-market, as to whose duty it was to report the same to the district surveyor, or other authorities, and whether any neglect or unnecessary delay had occurred in taking the requisite measures in this case, and to report." The committee stated that they had carefully examined the circumstances of the case, and had been attended by Mr. John Young, the district surveyor, Mr. Lightfoot, his clerk, and Mr. Jenkins, the beadle of Langbourne Ward, whom they had heard upon the subject. The committee went at some length into the evidence submitted to them, the substance of which was that the clerk to the district surveyor went to the fire at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, the 15th inst., and found the walls and timber in a very dangerous state. The firemen were then pulling about the ruins, but he warned them to desist as their lives were in danger, and ho also cautioned the people in tho vicinity. Immediately afterwards lie got Mr. Young's authority to take the necessary steps for securing the walls, and obtained similar power from the surveyor to the Commissioners of Sewers; that he afterwards went to the contractor, Mr. Crook, took him to the ruins; and in structed him to shore up and board in, which was done early on Friday morning. He further stated that when he communicated with the firemen on Thursday afternoon they stated they would resume their digging when the ruins were made secure, but they never did, and on the Friday he told the firemen that they might work with safety at a part of the ruins, but they did not do so. Mr. Young in formed the committee that ho was told by Mr. Oxford that the assurance company would not take any steps because they were informed there was no salvage, and they had made up their minds to a total loss. Mr. Jenkins, the ward beadle, stated that he did not consider it any part of his duty to communicate with the district surveyor when afire took place in the ward; but if ho knew of such, and of the ruins being in a dangerous state, he said he should do so as a matter of propriety. 'He had informed the deputy of the ward on the Friday morning, and had told him of the bodies being buried in the ruins, and ho got shells ready to receive them. He saw the place boarded in ou Friday, and on Saturday lie asked Mr. Pardoe, foreman of the firemen, what he was going to do about the bodies. To that Mr. Pardoe replied, Who is going to pay us for it?' When he (Jenkins) answered, 'lf I were you I would not make a pounds, shillings, and pence matter of it.' Pardoe said he had his orders from Capt. Shaw not to put any men on un til he knew who would pay the cost. Having considered these statements and examined the facts, the committee re ported that it certainly was not the duty of the district sur veyor in such cases to employ men to dig for the remains of persons supposed to have been buried in the ruins of a fire. The ruins in such case were the property of the owner or of the assurance company, if insured, who, if there was salvage to claim, would undoubtedly prevent any ono but their own servants from interfering. In the present case the assurance company, finding there was no salvage, had withdrawn their men from the work ; and until the Court interfered, from motives of humanity, and directed, under the peculiar cir cumstances, their contractors to dig for the bodies, no one but the assurance office, or the owners, could have been legally justified in doing so. The committee added that they were glad to be able to report that there did not appear in the case to have been any delay at all on the part of the district surveyor, or of any of the officers of the Commis sion, in carrying into effect the powers the Court bad in reference to dangerous structures. But they were of opinion that the firemen, who, being on the spot, had the earliest knowledge of danger arising from th e cond i t i on of the ru i ns, should on all such occasions immediately communicate with the district surveyor, that the proper steps might be taken to secure them." Deputy FARRAR suggested that not only should the fire men be required to give information to the district surveyor in cases of this kind, but that the police authorities should also be asked to give similar information. It was then decided that a copy of the report should be sent to Capt. Shaw and Col. Fraser, the Commissioners of Police, with a suggestion that they should, in cases of this sort, give immediate information to the district surveyor. At the instance of Deputy SNELLING, it was resolved— " That the Romembrancer do apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Department to procure the insertion of a clause in the bill now before Parliament for constituting a Metropolitan Fire Brigade to render it the duty of such fire brigade on all occasions when persons are believed to have been buried in the ruins of any building destroyed by fire, to dig and search for such persons immediately that it is possible for them to do so." SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETHEBY reported on the condition of 237 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted about 50 places for sanitary improvement. He also reported that he had visited the premises of the .Erated Broad Com pany in Beech-lane, Barbican, and inquired into the matter of the dangerous nuisance arising from the discharge of acid refuse into the sewers, and he found that about one in every six or seven days there was discharged from the car bonic acid generator about half a ton of the spent mixture of whiting and oil of vitriol, which were used in generating carbonic acid gas. The mixture was a little overcharged with sulphuric acid, and this rendered it dangerous to the men in the sewers. He therefore recommended that orders be given for the abatement of the nuisance, by the use of a smaller quantity of acid, so that the refuse might be always freed from acidity by an excess of whiting. The suggestion of the medical officer was at once agreed to, and the necessary order was issued accordingly. Dr. LETHEBY further reported that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly inspected, and the officers had condemned 3,547 lbs. of meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of 4 sheep, 2 calves, 6 pigs, 25 quarters of beef, and 7 joints of meat ; 1,072 lbs. were diseased, 1,758 lbs. ' were putrid, and the rest was from animals that had died from accident or disease. Forty-one births and 30 deaths were registered in the City during the week. The mortality returns are much below the average (52) for the correspond ing period of the last nine years. Thirteen, or nearly half of the number of deaths, were among children of less than five years of age, and 2 among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis, 6 ; mesenteric disease, 4 ; hydrocephalus, 3; bronchitis, 1 ; continued fever, 2 ; whooping-cough and measles, of each, 1; making together 13 deaths from tubercular diseases, 1 from inflammatory affection s of the lungs, and only 4 from diseases of a zymotic character. These returns indicated a satisfactory state of the public health. The Commissioners, after transacting some other busi ness, adjourned.

ST. HELENA.—A letter from St. Helena states that the anniversary of Napoleon's death was cele brated with proper solemnity on the sth. By a remarkable coincidence a vessel carrying the staff and Ist Battalion of the 6Gth English Regiment reached the island on that day. It was by a company of this very regiment, then in garri son at St. Helena, that Napoleon's remains were carried, on the sth May, 1821, from Longwood to the Valley of the Tomb. All the officers and men of the G6th immediately after landing made a pilgrimage to the tomb. The same letter says that the house of the Vice-Consul of France, in which Napoleon passed his first night after landing at St. Helena, was entirely destroyed by fire on the 2d of i April.

MANCHESTER, June 17.—The business for yarns in the export market to-day has not been large. The difficulty is caused chiefly by the advancing tendency of the raw material and the consequent high prices which spinners are obliged to ask. There are plenty of orders in the market, but not available at the extreme prices required by spinners. A fair business has been done by those who have been willing to meet buyers on rather easier terms, but the market closes rather tame. In the home trade market the extreme rates demanded by spinners also check business. Manufacturers are unable to pay the prices asked without incurring great loss upon the cloth to be made from the yarns offer ing, and this alone keeps them from operating. In the cloth-market sellers say we have not for some days past found buyers willing to follow the advances required by manufacturers, and which they are compelled to ask in consequence of the higher prices of yarn and cotton. A fair busi ness has been done in re-sale lots, bought on spe culation when prices were lower, and now offering on easier terms than manufacturers can afford. There has, indeed, been as much cloth offering for resale to merchants under such circumstances as from other sources of supply. The position of the manufacturer is rendered worse by this state of things, and it has been quite impossible for them to obtain orders at prices which would at all approach to remunerative rates. The India accounts are of a nature to discourage shipments to that quarter. They are from Calcutta to the 19th, and Bombay to the 20th At Bombay, 71b. shirtings were sell ing at 14s. per piece, which is the price which manufacturers demand for them in the Man.: chester market, and as shipping and other charges would be upwards of 3s. (say, 35 per cent.), purchases to ship would be attended with loss. Nearly all the goods purchased recently have been taken for speculation, and will probably have to come into the market for resale. To-day our quotations have been necessarily rather higher (from the still upward progress of cotton and yarn), but there have been very few offers making for cloths suited to any market. Buyers, indeed, are disposed rather to offer less than give more, and the transactions have been few and of small amount. LEEDS, 27th.—The markets in the cloth halls this morning have not been characterised by much ac tivity, the attendance of buyers being rather limited, and their operations not being extensive in any par ticular kind of goods. Still, though purchases were miscellaneous, the aggregate amount of business done was not much less than is usual for Tuesday's market. Plain cloths of good make are in fair demand, and thick goods for Canada and the United States are moving off, so that there is little or no accommodation going on either in the halls or in the hands of the manufacturers. The latter are mostly in full employment, and they are able to keep prices stady. Indeed, from the recent ad vance in the prices of wool those of goods have more an upward than a downward tendency. NOTTINGHAM, 27th.—There was a moderate at tendance at this Exchange-hall to-day. The demand for lace yarns was steady, and the full rates of last week were made. A tolerable amount of business was done in hosiery yarns, and previous rates were well supported. Silks firmly maintained the rates of last week. Brown nets had a moderate sale, and prices underwent no important alteration. ROCHDALE, 26th.—Although there has not been the activity to-day which is sometimes seen at our market, there was a sound and buoyant feeling. Both in the plain and fancy department sales were effected without difficulty and to a fair extent. Since our last report, too, the condition of things has been satisfactory, both to the merchants and manu facturers. Buyers, however, are unable to explain the extremely high price still demanded. The popu lar notion some time ago was that when the cotton market approached to anything like its normal state it would powerfully influence the prices of woollen goods in favour of the buyer. This, however, has not proved the case, but rather otherwise, for most good kinds of wool ere now dearer than they were before the recent London sales of colonial fleeces began. There was more inquiry to-day for the superior kinds of Yorkshire goods, which fetch ex treme prices, but woollens of a lower class are rather a drug in the market, and prices are not by any means firm. SUDDEN DEATH OF DR. FERGUSON.—The death of Dr. Robert Ferguson took place, after a few hours' illness, on Sunday, at his residence, Ascot Cottage, Wink field, near Windsor. He was taken unwell at 10 o'clock that morning, and was dead at 6 o'clock. The late Dr. Ferguson was in his 65th year. He received his medical education at Edinburgh, at the medical school of which city ho gained much praise. Ho was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1837, after going through the preliminary grades leading to that proud position in his profession. As far back as 1823 he had obtained the degree of M.D. at Edinburgh. The late Dr. Ferguson was a physician extraor dinary to the Queen, and physician-accoucheur to her Majesty throughout her confinements. Ho was formerly Physician-General to the Lying-in-Hospital, and was prin cipal physician to the King's College Hospital, and also Professor of Midwifery at King's College. Among his written works of note, his book on "Puerperal Fever" stands pre-eminent. LAND TA X.—Yesterday a return was issued show that in the year ending March 31st, 1864, the net quota of land tax was £1,094,164 19s. 11 d. ; the amount of surplus under £5 in each parish, £8,913 3s. 4d. ; the amount of surplus oc ceeding £5 in each parish £17,336 17s. 4d. ; the amount of surplus allowed to the collectors by the district commissioners, being sums under £5 in each parish, £8,829 13s. ; and the amount of surplus allowed to the assessors by district commissioners with the sanction of the Treasury, £2,680 13s. lid. The amount of surplus land tax paid over to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, pursuant to the Act 24 and 26 Vic., c. 91, was £54,544 3s. 4d. " A Florence letter," says the Sicle," states that the strike of the Pits cab-drivers has exercised some in fluence on the similar class in the Italian capital, the saucy independence of whom is proverbial. A deputation of these men having gone to the authorities and claimed the with drawal of a certain tariff, their demand was immediately acceded to. The Mondini Theatre at Verona has just been destroyed by fire. The building had only a few days before been taken by M. Pinta's equestrian company, and the flames broke out in the stables behind the stage. Fi ve horses were burnt, as well as part of an adjoining house, but no person was injured. Viscount and Viscountess Sydney had a select party at dinner last evening at their residence in CleTe land-square. 49 81 92 123 1 1 99 14, 3 1311 I 113 691 t 1031 811 101 Si 105 41 1011 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ODIHAM RACES-TUESDAY. The Hampshire "campaign" opened on Bartley-heath to-day. The attendance was very large—much larger, in fact, than has been known for some years. The weather, which is generally wet at Odiham during the races, was an agreeable exception, which was enjoyed by the numerous company of ladies who graced . the stands and carriages. The influential supporters of the turf and the bookmaking fraternity were amply represented, the ring being well filled. There were no special features in the racing re quiring comment here ; suffice it to say, the day was gene rally a disastrous one for backers. The principal race of the day, the Odiham Handicap, brought out but four of the 22 "coloured," the winner turning up in the outsider Sur ney, after a good race. The following are full details of the running : te liursti)orne Stakes of 15 sovs each, 5 ft,with 50 added ; for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b ; penalties and allowances.

Thor, who refused to join his horses, and was very fractious at the post, caused a long delay, but on the flag being dropped Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, in the middle of the course, showed in front, followed by Portugal and Viper next the rails. Within the distance Viper drew up to Thor, whom he challenged opposite the Stand, but never reaching him, was defeated after a good race by a neck ; two lengths separated the second and third. The winner was bought by Mr. T. Stevens. The Dogmersfield Park Stakes (handicap) of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 50 added, for 2-yr-olds ; winners, 5 extra. Straight half-mile. Mr. T.

Trapeze dropped back some three or four lengths, till near the half mile post, when he drew up, and the qnartett entered straight in compact order. Half way up Trapeze was beaten and dropped back, and at the distance the race appeared to rest between Surney and Harkaway, who commenced an interesting struggle, but Basquine coming again (though ridden from the distance) opposite the stand, headed Harkaway, but never quite reached Surney, who won by a head ; Harkaway beaten half a length from Basquine ; Trapeze was several lengths behind the third.

The passengers in the train had become aware that Dr. Prichard was in one of the carriages, and on the officer alighting with his prisoner a considerable number gathered eagerly round to see him pass upstairs to the street.
