014 E:Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No alteration in the Bank of England rate of dis count has been made by the directors at their usual weekly court to-day. A change was not generally anticipated, owing to the unfavourable character of the last return, and the distribution of the dividends, which must have largely decreased the reserve of notes. The expected outflow of specie to the East, and the comparatively small influx during the week, no doubt influenced the authorities in their deter- urination to keep the official quotation at its present figure. The demand for accommodation is still not active, and the rates of the brokers are easy at 4 per cent. for the best description of commercial bills. The Stock Exchange Markets are less firm this morning, owing partly to the continuance of the Bank minimum at its present value. The Funds have receded -4- per cent., and Consols are 891 for money, and 891 for the account. In the Foreign Stock department Turkish 5 per Cents. and Greek have fallen but United States 5-20 Bonds have , advanced per cent. At the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company to be held on the 31st instant, the direc tors have resolved to recommend the payment of a dividend of £3 per share for the half-year ending 30th June last, together with a bonus of £2 per share from the insurance fund. The sum of £5,000 was taken to the Bank yester day. The bar silver brought by the last West India packet has been sold at 61d., showing no alteration. Were any demand for India to arise, the quotation would no doubt slightly advance. The rate is now within about 1 per cent. of the price at which it could be taken for India. The last week' s ra il way rece i p t s , ascer t a i ne d up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1866. 1865.

According to Reuter's telegram from Paris, to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 70c. The English Stock Market continues inanimate, the rain no doubt having prevented a large number of the public attending to receive their dividends, and at the same time to reinvest their surplus money.

" THE ATLANTIC CABLE."—MORGAN, BAKER STREET.—This is a spirited international song, dedicated to the Two Great Nations —England and America. The words are by George Smith, Esq., and are most ably set to music by Mr. G. Cole, a gentleman well known in the musical world. Such a patriotic composition will doubtless aid in cement ing the kindly and friendly relations which should ever exist between two such powerful countries. The Sensitive Plant. Dr. George Sigerson writes as follows to the Atheneum :—" Some months ago it occurred, to me that the motion of the folioles of the sensitive plant, on being touched by the finger, might be due to the transmission or interchange of electricity between the two points in contact. Impressed with this idea I took the opportunity a few days ago of put ting the matter to the test, by using for the pur pose of touching the folioles a non-conductor, a steel conductor, and the finger. The experiment quite answered my expectations, as the subjoined letter from my friend, Professor Divers, will testify. The plant, I should state, was in flower, and at this period it is probably more sensitive than at other times. On the 12th of August I experimented three or four times; and on the 19th I again re peated these trials with a similar result, so that the care-taker spontaneously remarked upon the diffe rence of the effects produced. They were these : " On touching gently and even lightly pressing the folioles with glass they remained as they were; on touching them with steel heid in the fingers, or (in other instances) with the fingers, they made their usual movement. Again, before I applied these tests, a gentleman asked me to explain how it hap pened that the plant moved more readily when touched by any of his children than by himself He had seen this take place several times and could not account for it. I thought it harmonised exactly with my theory, and have since had reason to be- li3ve that with the same individ ual the actionwill be more evident when he is in a tonic state (if I may use the expression) than when he is exhausted and weary. Although what I have shown goes to prove that the passage of electricity between the points in contact will account for the movement of the folioles in such instance, I do not mean to say that when ever the foliole moves there must be contact with a conductor. For I hold it possible that the plant may be capable of developing within itself sufficient of such force to close its folioles (a seemingly protec tive movement) if roughly handled. From what I have observed with regard to the sensitive plant, it appeared to me probable that the fly-trap movement of the processes of the Dionda muscipula was due to the same cause. Having gently touched those ex teriorly, I was disappointed to find no result pro duced. Laying the tip of the little finger (in two cases) softly within the expanded processes, I found them to close, whereupon I immediately withdrew it, that there might be no possibility of injury to the plant. I thought the fact almost valueless, as there was no opportunity of testing what w ould be the action with a non-conductor. However, but a few moments had elapsed when my attention was draw n to a dis tinctly painful sensation in the ulnar nerve at the right elbow, it being the little finger of the right hand I had used. This sensation persisted for some time, then imperceptibly passed away. I admit that the subject is capable of many more tests and much more development than I can give it in this letter or at this time. It is my intention, however, to pur sue the investigation, confident that it will be re cognised as one of considerable importance and re plete with interest. Now, when the rigid limit drawn by the old naturalists between the animal and vege table kingdoms has been found untenable, there will be many, I presume, to admit that a priori there is no absolute reason why individuals of the former kingdom should be endowed with power of generat ing electricity essentially denied to all members of the latter ; few also, I believe, will assert the ante cedent impossibility of any of those plant-organs, termed vessels,' and ribs,' subserving in a very re stricted sense, it may be, the purpose of nerves." The following is a copy of the letter from Dr. Divers, referred to above : " Charing-cross Hospital, Lon don, Aug. 15, 1866.—My dear Dr. Sigerson,—At your request I am very glad to be able to acknow ledge witnessing the interesting fact you showed me at Kew on the 12th of the present month concern ing the sensitive plant. The fact was this, that while the leaves of the plant proved highly sensitive to the slight contact of your finger, or of a piece of steel held in your hand, they were not sensitive to the similar contact of glass. This fact was new to me at the time." Liverpool Cotton Market.—This Day, Market opens very quiet. Sales probably 5,000 or 6,000 bales.

ADJOURNED INQUEST—(THIS DAY.) The inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Edmund Wilmot, which occurred during a sparring match held at Shaw's, the Queen's Head, in Great Wind mill-street, yesterday week, was resumed this day at Charing-Cross Hospital. The match was for £4 a-side. The deceased expired in Charing-Cross Hospital three hours after his admission. William Wodmau said ho lived in Little Earl-street, and on the evening of the 9th inst. lie was at the Queen's Head. Ile gave Cd. for a ticket of admission to see the sparring. He had previously been to "Jemmy Shaw's," in Broad-court, but the room not being large enough they adjourned to the Queen's Head. The ticket he bought for Jemmy Shaw's, in Broad-court, admitted him to the house in Windmill-street. When he entered the room he saw the deceased (Wilmot) and Yonng in the ring, and in about ten minutes after he arrived they tied on the gloves and commenced sparring. The gloves he was quite sure did not come off during the whole of the time they were sparring. He did not think there were 100 persons pre sent, but he could not say how many were them The two men were sparring for about an hour and a quarter, but they did not seem to hurt one another. There were some other men in the ring picking the men up when they fell, and a man not in the ring called out " Time." He did not know that he was entitled to refreshment for his card. He saw deceased fall down two or three times. The falls were not occasioned by the blows dealt by Young, but they occurred during the wrestling. In the last round the head of the deceased was struck against a post. De ceased was going to hit Young, when he slipped and fell against the post. He had never said that it was tl• blow given by Young that caused the deceased to fall. He was quite sure he had never said so to any person. The police sergeant had, however, asked him this morning about the fight, and he said he did not wish to say anything about the knock-down blow. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for Shaw, objected to the reception of conversation between third parties as evi dence. The Coroner said he was desirous to test the reliability of the witness's evidence. Witness continued—ln his conversation with Sergeant Hamblin he did not mean to convey more than that the deceased fell. By a Juror—The match was not called a glove fight. By Mr. Lewis—He was not a friend of either party, and had no interest beyond stating the ,whole truth. The men were laughing and joking every , timis they came up to spar. There was no unfairness in the sparring, so far as he was able to judge, but he had never been at a match before. He was not a friend of Young's; he, however, went home in the cab with him after the match. Ho had known Young for about two years, but he did not call him a friend. He had seen him that morning, but said nothing to him beyond telling him he was coming to the inquest. John Carroll said he resided at 4, Tower-street, St- Martin's-lane, and was a brush-maker. He was pre sent at the sparring, and obtained admission to the room by purchasing a refreshment ticket for sixpence Donally seemed to be acting as one of the seconds ; the other one he believed was a man named Dawes. Young Flynn he believed was acting as referee. Shaw was in and out the room during the match supplying orders, but not taking part or watching the progress of the contest. There were numerous falls during the sparring, but deceased was not always under. Towards the end of the match de ceased was bad on hislegs, and as he came up for the last round he slipped and fell, striking his head against the corner of a wooden partition. He was picked up and carried to his corner, and, as he could not come up after water had been given, the match was stopped and Mr. Shaw put out the gas. He knew nothing further about t he m atter. He bad seen sparring matches before, but the only difference be tween the one they were inquiring into and others was that they had the seconds in the ring. Ile had not seen the sparring matches either at the Crystal Palace or St. James's Hall. He thought the deceased fell through weakness, and not front a blow. Mr. W. Bennett said since ho had given his former evi dence he had seen the men, who acted as seconds during the match, at the police-court. Their names were Donally, Dawes, and Evans. Flynn, he believed, was the name of the time-keeper. He also saw Shaw and Young at Marl borough Police-court. They were then in custody. By a Juror —Young was flushed and.red during the con test, and his physical power seemed almost exhausted. He could not have stood such violent exercise much longer. There were no marks of violence apparent on the person of either men. The last part of the affair was merely a scramble. Inspector Silverton, of the C division, said the men in the ring with the combatants were Edward Donally, a professed pugilist, Thos. Dawes, coke merchant, and James Evans, hammerman. They were now in custody for aiding and abetting in causing the deatk of Wilmot on the 9th inst. They are the same persons as were iden tified by the last witness as the seconds in the match, He knew Shaw's house well. There was a room fitted up with a rope ring. He could not say it was arranged espe cially for sparring matches. He had known them to kill cocks and rats in the room. He had seen sparring matches at St. James's Hall, but not at the Crystal Palace. He did not know that the house was_ kept expressly for spar ring matches. He did not know that the room was fitted with galleries until:the last few days. He would swear that he had never heard that the house was kept for sparring matches prior to the death of Wilmot. Mr. George Avery, house surgeon, said Wilmott was alive when he was brought to the hospital, although he was sinking fast, and eventually he died at half-past 5 the following morning, the 10th inst. He had examined the body. The right arm was externally bruised from the elbow to the wrist. The chest and upper part of the body was also bruised, but not so much as the arm. The face was covered with bruises. The upper lip was cut inside from going against the teeth. On taking off the scalp he dis covered a number of bruises on both sides of the head, but just over the right ear there was one large bruise, and on re moving a portion of the skull a large clot of blood was found which proceeded from a rupture of one of the arteries of the brain. A large quantity of blood was effused which would cause death, and all the symptoms that were wit nessed while he breathed. The brain was uninjured. Death was caused by force being applied to the spot above the ear. The blow or fall must have boon one of great violence. There must have been much violence used, and if the man had lived long enough more injuries would have appeared, as there was not time for them to show before he expired. The boxing-gloves were here produced, and the witness said that blows struck with them would cause concussion of the brain. The same effect would be produced if the blows were struck on the forehead or face. The effect of con cussion produced by such injuries would cause the person to stagger. Death arose from apoplexy. He had had boxing glovesshaw, s o . on H h i e m h s a e d l thefnienver attended school, a v but sparring should ing practice he had had was ver y diff eren t from that at exhibition.e could take it upon hims e lf t o s ay that the b on t H h arm of the deceased were produced the night before the deceased died. He did not say that there was concussion of the brain. If there had been a fall the bruises might have been the result. He had heard that the gloves were used for healthful exercise, but he should not recommend any person to use them to the extent that deceased had The blood in the mouth of the deceased might have pro ceeded from the cut. Neither the bruises on the arm nor the chest would produce death. This being the whole of the evidence, The Coroner said the case was still incomplete, as one of the persons who acted as seconds was still at large, and it was necessary to ascertain what part each person took in the matter, and also to have each person clearly identified. Inspector Silverton thought he should be able to pro ceed with the inquiry in a week, as he thought the person now at largo would be in custody before that time. It was ultimately arranged to adjourn the inquiry until Monday week. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS• Share Railways.

For two weeks past a party of arciunologists have ac companied the' Rev. IV illiam Greenwell, of Durham, in a scientific examination of the sepulchral mounds of the Wolds, attributed to the pre-historic peoples who inhabited Northumbria. The rev. gentleman has had openings made in presence of Sir John Lubbock, the late President of the Ethnological Society ; Mr. Fairless Barber, of Castle-hill ; Mr. Rastrick, President of the Huddersfield Arclueological Society ; Mr. J. W. Barnes, of Durham ; Mr. J. Burgess, of Brighouse ; the Rev. Frederick Porter, of Yedingham ; the Rev. J. Mason, of Sherburn ; the Rev. Mr. Heslop, of Weaverthorpe ; Mr. George Pycock, of Malton ; and Mr. Southwell, of Winchester, Illinois, United States, the last named gentleman giving valuable information respecting the burial customs of the Indian tribes, and pointing out the analogy between them and those shown by the exhu mation of British burials.

RIVERS POLLUTION COMMISSION.--Her Majesty's Commissioners, Mr. Robert Rawlinson, C. 8., Mr. John Thornhill Harrison, and Professor J. Thomas Way, have recommenced their labours in the basin of the Yorkshire Ouse, and are now holding an inquiry at Wakefield relative to the state of the river Calder and its tributaries—viz., their pollution by town sewage and refuse from manufac tories, obstruction by solid refuse from manufactories, nature [and extent of manufactures carried on upon the banks of the river and streams, cause and extent of flood ing upon adjacent lands, water supply especially as affects the rivers and streams. The Commissioners will afterwards hold similar inquiries at Huddersfield, Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and other towns on the rivers A.i.re and Calder. The Cambri es "Lo to."

BLANTON. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,353. It was the 41st week of the year; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population; 1,222. The actual number exceeds the estimated number by 131. Zymotic diseases proved fatal to 459 persons, the corrected average being 348. There were 24 deaths from smallpox, 21 from measles, 36 from scarlatina, 5 from diphtheria, 27 from whooping-cough, and 47 from diarrhcea. The annual rate of mortality last week was 23 per 1,000 in London, 24 in Edinburgh, and 38 in Dub lin ; 14 in Bristol, 20 in Birmingham, 39 in Liver pool,'2s in Manchester, 28 in Salford, 19 in Shef field, 30 in Leeds, 25 in Hull, 35 in Newcastle upon-Tyne, and 27 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 94 per 1,000 during the week ending the 29th ult. when the temperature was 8.5 deg. Fahrenheit higher than•in the same week in Londou, where the rate was 23 per 1,000 ; the 1,007 deaths included 672 from cholera. No more recent official return from this city has yet been re ceived.

The mean temperature of the air in the week was 52.4 deg., which is 0.8 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher.) The highest day tem perature was 66.0 deg. on Monday. The lowest night temperature was 35.6 deg. on Saturday. The range in the week was 30.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air tem perature was 4.8 deg. The mean degree of , humidity of the air was 87, complete saturation • being represented by 100. On Saturday the humidity was as much as 96. The wind, which until Friday blew from the north-east and east-north-east, on Saturday changed to south-west. No rain was measured during the week. Considerable discussion has resulted from the discoveries made in the spring of the present year by the Rev. Mr. Porter and Mr. Monkman in the barrows of the Sherburn Welds; those barrows yielding, in addition to the usual un disturbed and contracted burials of the Britons, strange deposits on their eastern sides of broken-up human bodies, evidently dismembered before burial. The theory of canni balism among the Britons was supposed to have received another confirmation by these discoveries, and with a view to push the investigation the one remaining barrow on the same wold was first opened. Strangely enough this barrow yielded nothing save traces of fire, one fragment of human bone, and six or eight "scrapers" or "thumb flints" strewn among the soil composing it ; and the examination of three houses on the adjoining wold yielded no better results; the contents, in fact, had been completely destroyed by those destructive implements, the drag-harrow and the plough. As regarded the peculiar feature sought the openings on Sherburn Wold were a failure. The next openings were made in the " Hone-hill Field," on Ganton Wold, near Scarborough, the property of Sir Charles Legard. Here many years ago one of the largest of three tumuli had been carted away for " marling" the land, and from what can be gathered that tumulus was very rich in both burials, urns, and implements. One very fine urn was taken possession of by the late Mr. Alexander, and ➢lr. Fairless Barber has traced it to the Halifax Museum, where it now is, dnd that gentleman is searching for notes on the tumulus among Mr. Alexander's papers. The two re maining barrows have been opened by Mr. Greenwell and his friends._ They were composed of a peculiarly unctuous black earth, altogether different from any weld soil. What this is must be determined by analysis and microscopic examination. Both tumuli contained several burials, both by inhumation and cremation. The former were in all cases in the now well understood doubled up British fashion, and in both houses parts of bodies were found, but it was satisfactorily made out by the section that a cut had been made near the centre of each, either to seek treasure or place in a later interment. The skulls obtained were so much crushed that Mr. Greenwell will be some time before he can get them rebuilt so as to show the type of cranium. So far as could be judged, however, they were all of the bi achy-cephalous, or later type, and of a singu larly poor people, only a few flint instruments—and these, with one exception, of little value—being found. Both kinds of pottery, plain and thong marked, were found, and also the cinerary urn of the crematioa period, the burnt burials being secondary. The first tumulus opened on Ganton Wold was 16 yards in diameter, and had an altitude of three feet, though much ploughed down. The opening was made from the south-east side, in the hope of finding the expected deposit of broken up bodies. The only object found, however, was part of a rod doer's horn. In the centre of the hone, lift. below the present surface, a depositof burnt bones was found. These were of two bodiesatleast, and had beenenclosed originally in a cinerary urn, of which fragments were found, showing it to have been enriched by alternate horizontal and vertical thong-markings, both inside and outside the lip. Among the burnt bones were some unburnt parts of a third body, and in the mass a very beautiful flint knife, which had been taken from the matrix at one slice, and finely worked over the upper edges. This was made of a very transparent, warm-tinted flint, not at all usual. It was quite clear that this interment had been disturbed and subsequently re placed. Immediately below this cremated secondary de posit, on the plane of the barrow, an unburnt body was found (one of the primary interments, if not the primary one), lying on its right side, with the head to the east, the body contracted, and with it a piece of skull of another body. This interment was of a male, the loft hand being on the knees, and the rightarm by the side. Nothing was found with this interment. Due east of this body and about 3ft. distant one of those perplexing holes in the rock was found, which, as usual, contained nothing but dark earth. Signs of a similar hole on the west were visible, but as these curious excavations have been so frequently fruitlessly explored, it was passed over. It has been suggested that where pottery is not found these holes in the rock have been formed for the deposit of food for the deceased. These holes have been also found in the Wiltshire barrows, and aro always barren. Immediately over this hole, however, Bin. below the surface, parts of a plain urn were found, evidently not in the original position. On the other side of the primary interment, i.e., 4ft. due west of it and 2ft. above the natural surface, the body of a woman was found on its right side, the hands touching the teeth, and the legs drawn up to the elbows. This was an inserted burial, and there was much charcoal about the pelvis and the femur. Some fragments of a highly deco rated urz were near the head, and from before the chest a beautifully wrought and polished button of jet was taken. Originally this house contained two primary interments, one of which seems to have been destroyed by digging from the top. The interments form a line, east and west. The second tumulus lay about 30 yards to the north. This was 25 yards in diameter and about 3 feet high, and now considerably reduced in altitude. This opening was again from the south-east. One foot above the natural surface and 18ft. south (just a turn of east) of centre, a body was met with, laid on its right side, but so decayed that the position was not traceable. Behind the pelvis a rude thumb flint was found, and close to the body parts of a " drinking cup"—perhaps destroyed by the plough. Seven feet S.S.W. of centre, and 2ft. above the natural ground, a deposit of burnt human bones was found placed in a circular heap. About 6 yards W.S.W. of centre another burnt body was found, placed in a cinerary urn ; but being only some Bin. deep, was much ploughed away. These were all secondary interments, and of a later date than the curious mass of bodies to be now described. On the plane of the barrow, and to the south side of the pre sent centre, but, doubtless, at the original centre when the house was raised, were several unburnt burials, all in the contracted form, and huddled together in the most singular manner. These were the original interments, but a cut from the top had disturbed some, the portions of bodies so disturbed being met with thrown in casually among the upper earth. The first interment exposed was lying on its right side, about 7ft. S.W. by S. of centre. The legs were curiously crossed, right to left and vice versa, the feet being bent back under the pelvic bones. The head was to the east, but the arms were so decayed their posi tion could not be made out. The skull was much broken and almost gone by decay. A second body was found laid on the east of the last, the drawn-up knees being close to the head of No. 1. The femurs of this body had been broken, and had curiously united by neerosis of the bone, giving the appearance of oblique fractures. This formed an interesting study for the medical men present. The body was on the right side, with the head to the west, and hands up to the face. A third body had the head laying on the feet of N 0.2, the head being to the N.W. The hands were in front of the chest, the bones of the right hand clasping the doubled-up bones of the left. The whole of this skull was obtained, and will be rebuilt. The legs of this body had gone removed, doubtless, during the dis turbance from the top. To the east of the last skeleton a great number of broken up human bones and skulls were found, evidently disturbed by digging for treasure, or for introduction of later interment. Among the bodies dis turbed had been that of a child. Among the bones were fragments of a highly ornate drinking cup and a bone pin sin, long. A sandstone pounder and a mass of foreign flint from 'Which flakes had been struck, were also found ; and close by—S.S.E. of centre—a body broken up and strangely mixed with the skull upside down was found, and with it one flint flake, one flint flake serrated (a saw), and one finely pointed flake were found, all deposited near the chest. The head was to the east, and the body was on the right side ; some degree of order remaining to show this, and proving that only partial disturbance had occurred. This burial was the richest in accompaniments of any in the two Ganton barrows. A fourth undisturbed body was found on the west of the others, the knees drawn up and touching the head of the cross-legged body (No. 1). This was on its right side with head to N.W. The skull was in good condi tion and showed the round or brachy-cophalous type. The left hand was under the head, and the right band in front of the chest. Behind the head was an urn, quite plain, very red and rotten—the pieces, indeed, were simply plastic clay. Just south of this urn a fifth body was found, on the right side, the shoulder blade touching the urn. The head was to the N.E., the right hand up to the face, and the loft under the head. The knees were drawn up. It was diffi cult to determine whether the urn had been deposited with this body or with No. 4. Eight feet west of the centre an d oval hole, 4ft. by 2ft.

(THIS DAY.) NE IV 31ARKE T. We have had another change in the weather, a nasty, rusty rain falling some time early this morning. Trainers, therefore, did no more business than they could possibly avoid. Several strangers have arrived already for the Cambridgeshire Stakes race, and amongst them we noticed Lozenge and Pepper's Ghost. The former went a steady mile and a half gallop with Louisa, and the other galloped a similar distance by himself. Actaca was following Ostregor beautifully, and all declare here that she is bound to get a place, having ran so fast in the Cesare witch, and her action continuing so free. The Scheldt was in faster and longer work this morning ; and Broomielaw, Out-and-Outer, Vespasia.n, and Mineral were doing their usual amount of exercise, Breadalbane• still taking it easy. Chepstow and Caithness went a mile and a half clipping, and Regalia galloped further than that; Saladin did a mile only. Jollity again took a mile and three-quarters' gallop. Ambition was striding beautifully over a mile and a quarter. Tomahawk followed Breeze fully a, mil e and a half, and Dalesman did a little more. The Duke of York looks and does uncommonly well, and is a sure run nor, despite his 71b penalty. Paris galloped a mile and a half fast, moving splendidly. Roland was in mile work, but Peon, Il Re Galantuomo, Mount Palatine, Robin Hood, Guinivere, Medina, Claxton, Sultan, Fluerette, Pu e bl a , Lightning, Countersign, and other Cambridgeshire nags, were doing from a mile and a quarter to a mile and a half. The two-year-olds progressed well. Gladiateur is going first-class. LAMBOURNE. Pluto was out, along with Marco Spada, on the White Horse Hill this morning, and galloped a mile and three. quarters. John Halifax did a similar amount of work. Marksman and Birdforth each did over a mile. MALT ON. Taraban won a rough trial this morning, and is sure to run up for the Criterion, even if he does not win. Hi s condition is superb, and he comes of a good stock. Klarinska galloped two miles and a half, and Amazon was in good work. War and Bird of Eve have been turned up for the season. Lord Exeter's horses aro to be eased for awhile now. Rondiuella and Knight of the Grove galloped a mile and a quarter. The Lion has got into work again, and now accompanies Treasure Trove, who goes very free. MARLBOROUGH. Pepper's Ghost left yesterday, after his usual exercise, for Newmarket, where he will be able to take his own part in the Cambridgeshire, if he should happen to win his trial there. Dulcimer will follow in a day or two. The latter did not do much this morning, and Bradamante was eased. Bugler and Mayonaise filly did a mile and three quarters. FINDON. Potomac is lame, and Thalia was merely trotting and cantering this morning. Sidewind galloped a mile and a half sharply. LIT TLETON. Proserpine had a beautiful mile and a half gallop, and so did Salpinctes ; but Abergeldie merely went a mile and a quarter steadily. The following appeared in our Third Edition of last evening : T HIRSK. Rococo, Holstein, The Czar, and Belmont, all engaged in the Cambridgeshire Stakes of Tuesday next, cantered about for some time this morning, and then galloped a mile and a half, looking and going exceedingly well. The weather is very chilly at llambleton now, but the moors afford excellent going. Red Earl and Sundeelah aro ab sentees. Lady Vane, The Stabber, Jura, Hopvine, The Dean, The Prelate, Tynedala, The Priest, The Corporal, Mandrake, Grafton, Weather-Guide, The Rhymer, Har rogate, Best Returns, Knight Errant, Fair Wind, Gentle Gale, Bird's Eye, and several others were in nice mile work. The yearlings are getting on first class. RICHMOND. Watson gave Lozenge another beautiful gallop of a mile and a half this morning. Elliott set Ameer to lead Molda via and Alice Fauconborg a like distance, and Moldavia ac quitted himself well. Zonobia was trotting about. Hawk swell was absent ; so was Roderick Random. Lord Zet land's horses were gently exercising in the home paddock. Dear Tom and Honest Tom galloped nearly a couple of miles. LITTLETON. Salpinctes, Abergeldie, and Proserpine were each work ing freely this morning, and going uncommonly well. They each went a mile and a half, at a rare good paco. The filly pleases us most here, and may turn out to be the Simon Pure. But the pending trial will soon tell us. MIDDLEIIAM. Comus is doing no work for the Cambridgeshire ; but Robert Osborne continues to give Miss Haworth and Lady of Coverdale plenty. They will not do, though, for that groat handicap. Audaz has been thrown up. FYFIELD. Alec Taylor galloped Bradamante, Dulcimer, Pep per's Ghost, Bugler, and the three year old filly by King Tom, out of Mayonaise, a mile and three-quarters very fast this morning. They are a ll en g a g ed in the Cam bridgeshire, and both look and go splendidly. The two year olds are in moderate work. Drislane gave JohnL AM Halifaxß 0 U R a gallop this morning, but ho does not look good enough for the Cambridgeshire ; nor Pluto either. Bates, however, has given the latter plenty of real good work, on the Far istinEile and three quarters' ringdon-road Downs, led by Marco Spada, and he is very fit. At Russley, Marksman is going on first class ; and Liddington is leading Birdforth in strong exercise. My Hobby is schooling the yearlings• box is walking. ---------------- TURF AGENCY OFFICE, 100, JERM TN-STREE T, ST. JAMES'S , LONDON.
