In the early stages of this protean malady, the purifying, regulating, and aperient Pills invented by Professor Holloway exert the most wholesome power, by accurately adjusting the func tions of the stomach, liver, bowels, and the minor organs subserving the solutions of man's food. In confirmed de bility of digestion Holloway's Pills aro likewise reliable remedies, which may be confidently resorted to in all stomachic, hepatic, renal, and alvine derangements with out the slightest doubt of their ability to mime the sufferer from olzkoat baupportablo winery. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1866. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGILSTREET. A FEMALE JACK SHEPPARD.—T wo girls, named Hannah Hobbs and Sarah Graham, of the ages of 13 and 14 respec tively, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mrs. Bunce, the wife of a police-sergeant of the C Division of Police, and the girls were further charged with stealing a brooch from the prosecutrix. From the evidence it appeared that on Friday night last, while Sergeant Bunco, 5 C, who resides in Long's court, Leicester-square, was at supper with his wife in his kit chen, he noticed a hand passed over the blind, the window being open. He went out, and being informed that the prisoners had been at his window, followed them and stopped them, but not finding any of his property on them he let them go. Shortly afterwards he loft home to go on duty, and directly his back was turned, the prisoners went to his house, annoyed and abused his wife, and on her coming to the door Graham struck her in the face, and a struggle ensued between the prisoners and the prosecutrix - , and the latter's brooch was stolen. The prosecutrix then called a constable and gave the prisoners into custody. On the prisoners being . brought up again, Sergeant Bunco said he had made inquiries respecting the prisoners, and found that they had both been in the Catholic Indus trial School, Queen-square, Hobbs having been committed from tho Mansion-house in 1864, by Alderman Hall, for five years. While there nothing could be done with her. On one occasion she took off her boot and with it blackened the matron's eye. She afterwards made her escape by scaling a wall 16 feet high. Nothing more was heard of her till about 12 months afterwards, when she was sent from this court for three years, as also was the prisoner Graham ; and on Good Friday last they managed to escape from the School. The authorities of the ,School had intimated the hope that the girls would not bo sent back, as they were likely to contaminate the others. Mr. Tyrwhitt Said it was quite clear that it was no use sending the prisoners to an institution, and he would not send them to an industrial school to spoil other girls. The prisoners appeared to be incorrigible, and to be a pair of female Jack Sheppards, scaling walls and making their escape as they had done. He should commit them for two months each with hard labour. THIRD ATTEMPT AT SELF - DESTRUCTION. - Elizabeth Sharp, who was charged a few days ago with attempting to take her life by cutting her throat with a razor, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. The constable having mentioned that this was the third time the prisoner had attempted to commit suicide, and the prisoner stating in answer to questions that she had no where to go to, Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered her to find one bail in £lO for six months. to the public made by the Bishop of London, by a letter inserted in the newspapers of the 2d of Aug., had been met with a liberality which exceeded the most sanguine expectations of, the committee. On the first announcement of the proposed Fund for relief of distress arising from cholera her Majenty the Queen sent a donation of £5OO. This gratify ing donation was followed by a long list of contri butions from persons of all ranks and conditions of life, not only- from London and its neighbourhood, but also from remote rural parishes. Notwithstand ing the number of other channels through whiCh aid was supplied by the public for the relief of cho lera, no less than £18,300 was within one month supplied to this Association, to be distributed by the committee by means of their parochial organisation. In order to give prompt effect to the charitable intentions of the subscribers, the committee of management have met daily, and mem bers of that committee have generally been in at tendance throughout the whole of the day, to assist n receiving subscriptions, and to receive thepersonal communications from the clergy or subscribers who might wish to apply for aid from the fund, or to ob tain information respecting it. The cholera being so sudden and partial in the times and places in which it spreads its ravages, it was thought best to give at once small grants to all the districts in which even a few cases were reported to have arisen, leav ing it open to the clergy presiding over the district visiting societies to make applications for further aid as soon and as often as occasion might require. The committee also put themselves in communication with the Mansion-house Committee for the Relief of Cholera, to which they sent from time to time lists of their giants, receiving from that committee similar information in return. In the manner above mentioned the committee of management had, within a month, made grants to 91 parochial or con ventional districts within the diocess of London, of which 63 were in the eastern portion of the metro polis, 23 in other parishes north of the Thames, and five on the southern side of the river. For the re lief of parishes of the metropolis within the diocess of Winchester, £BOO had been remitted to the South London Visiting and Relief Association. Grants were also made to three committees whose operations ranged over several contiguous parishes. The total amount expended in these grants to district societies had been £4,135. Grants were also made to the fol lowing permanent or temporary institutions affording various kinds of relief in cholera cases :—The Beth nal-green Dispensary, the City of London Dispen sary, the German Hospital, Dalston ; the House of Charity, Soho ; the temporary Cholera Hospital in Spitalfields, and a temporary convalescent insti tution in connection with the London Hospital. About £BOO was expended in grants of this descrip tion. Thus about £5,000 had been applied to the relief of distress from cholera during the month, leaving a balance of upwards of £13,000 available for future distribution. It was stated that in most of the districts virulent epidemic cholera was dis appearing, and that at the present time the princi pal anxiety was to provide for the recovery of con valescents and to give aid to widows and orphans who had lost their natural protectors by the cholera. The attention of the general committee was parti cularly invited to the question of how the large dis posable balance might best be applied for the relief of convalescents, widows, or orphans, or otherwise in accordance with the presumed intention of the donors. The general committee were also informed that the Mansion-house Committee had determined to appropriate from their funds £2,000 for the re lief of convalescents, and £5,000 for the relief of orphans, from cholera. After taking these various topics into consideration the general committee agreed to the following resolutions : " I. That an adequate amount of the funds at the disposal of this committee be applied to the re lief of convalescent patients from cholera ; that this portion of their funds be distributed on applications made through the clergy presiding over the local visiting societies ; and that all applicants be invited to give an account of the manner in which they propose to employ the grants, the numbers whom they wish to relieve, and the probable cost of such relief, and also the sums which they have received or may expect to receive from other sources for the same object. 11. That relief also should be afforded on a liberal scale to children who have become orr hans by the cholera ; and that with a view to that object a schedule similar to that issued by the Mansion house Committee be furnished to each of the clergy in the districts affected by the cholera, with a re pest that full information be given as to each orphan for whom relief is sought. " 111. That grants should continue to be made as hitherto by the committee sitting daily for the relief of persons suffering from actual cholera or of con valescents, leaving the cases of orphans to be deter mined at more special weekly committees. " IV. That while the committee is disposed to deal with the cases of convalescents and orphans in a liberal spirit, still, looking to the danger of some fresh outbreaks of the disease, it appears right to reserve a sufficient sum to meet such an emergency."

LEEDS, 4th.—There has again been a wet day for the woollen cloth markets, and business with the home trade buyers has thereby been checked. Still there is some improvement noticeable in the trade, there being more business doing at the warehouses than of late, especially by those engaged in the ex port trade to the Continent. There is a fair busi ness also doing with the Australian colonies, but the demand for Canada and the United States is not very active at pwsent. The stocks of seasonable goods in the cloth halls are not large, a proof that manufacturers have been proportioning their supplies to the late limited demand. The country manufacturers report that they have a moderate amount of orders on hand. In both the borough of Leeds and the surrounding manufacturing towns and villages the operatives are well employed. . NOTTINGHAM, 4th.—There was a limited attend ance at our Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was only moderate, prices being the same as last week. In the value of hosiery yarns there was no material change to report. Silk firm, and fully as dear. The demand for brown nets was extremely dull, at prices similar to those of last week. ROCHDALE, 3d.—The improvement which was noticeable in the flannel trade last week has been fully supported to=day. There was a fair attend ance of buyers in the market, and they purchased plain flannels, as well as dyed and fancy fabrics, with more freedom than of late. Prices are very firm, and the stocks and goods in the hands of manufacturers are not large. There is a little more doing in Yorkshire goods, but not enough to make the trade brisk. Prices are without change. Wools are more saleable at the full rates of last week than they were at the preceding market. PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—A quarterly court of the governors of this society, which has for its object the reformation of juvenile offenders, was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. W. Gladstone, the treasurer, in the chair. The report for the quarter ending 80th June last stated that the total receipts during that period were £2,835 13s. 5d., including a balance of £945 9s 10d. in the hands of the bankers. Of this sum £591 was the farm account, and £42 had been received from brick -making. The expenditure amounted to £2,239 4s. 3d., leaving a balance in hand of £596 9s. 2d. During the quarter there were admitted 27 bcya, four of whom were from the London police-courts, one from the Central Criminal Court, and the remainder from different parts of the country. During the same period 21 boys were discharged, 15 being at or near the end of their terms. Two boys had deserted, and had not yet been recovered; one had been sent to prison for desertion, and one had died. The total number in the school on the 31st August last was 261. The chairman, in proposing the adoption of the report, said the institution was in a most prosperous condition. The secretary an nounced that a" harvest home" would be held at the insti tution on Wednesday next. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY OF A GOLD WATCH.—John Daly, a young man, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stealing a gold watch and chain at the St. George's Baths and Washhouses, which aro situated in Belgrave-place, Pimlico. Mr. W. Pitt, 40, Wilton-place, stated that on the after noon of yeaterday he was at the baths, where he undressed himself in one of the boxes and proceeded to the bath. On getting out he saw the prisoner come out of his box. He was dressed. Witness went in the box immediately after and missed his watch and chain. There was another per son in the box, but he got away. The prisoner was searched, but no watch was found upon him. Au inspector of the B Division said that this is the third robbery which has taken place in the same establishment during the last few days of gold watches. He should wish for a remand in order to get the other man who came out of the box. The prisoner having denied taken the watch. He was remanded. MARKETS.---This Day. e--~ MARK. LANE,.

Yesterday this great three days' fair was brought to a termination, and the unfavourable aspect which attended Its inauguration, viz., the suppression of the cattle fair, was renewed at the close. of its career by the most unpropitious state of the weather; and this great autumn fair, which, during an annual existence of some centuries, has sustained a long-acquired celobri y as being ono of the largest stole cattle-markets in this country has this year drawn its first blank page in its history. The stock breeders of Herefordshire and Devonshire, and the Scotch cattle dealers, who are large contributors to this fair, have "missed their mark" by the magisterial exclusive orders. The Welsh dealers, who invariably supply immense droves of black cattle to Barnet, are pvr tially compensated by the substitution of a Welsh cattle fair to-day at Haverfordwest. During the day the thinned droves of Irish colts and Welsh foresters were brought to gether and sold in lots to dealers, and the fair-fields cleared out for the races. In the afternoon, notwithstanding the min, a consider able number of persons 'came dcwn by road and rail to Barnet, and among whom were a large portion of " London roughs," and had it not been for an efficient body of police, nothing like good order could have been maintained. The pleasure fair, with its thousand and one a'Aractions, was attended by large groups of country and metropolitan holiday folks. The victualling booths were full of visitors, whowere driven there by stress of weather, and who created a famine in the fair. The horse races were run amidst mud and mire, and then this great annual fair was over. At the railway station the-a was great rushing and con fusion, and the swell mob fraternity exercised their avoca tions with unblushing effrontery. A Council of Ministers was held yesterday at St. Cloud, the Emperor presiding. The Emperor two days back visited the buildings in course of construction in the park of St. Cloud for the reception of the ceramic museum and the porcelain manufactures of Sevres. Savfet Pasha, Ambassador from the Sultan at the Court of the Tuileries, has had a private audience of the Emperor at the Palace of Saint-Cloud, to take loaYo of his Majesty. TILE CHOLERA. MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE. Yesterday a customer of Messrs. Williams, Gads den, and Co., wine merchants of Great St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, made anonymously the munificent present of a pipe of old port to the Mansion-house Committee, for distribution among the sick and convalescent. The value of the gift was further enhanced by the wine being presented duty free. Within . the last few days the Lord Mayor has been interesting himself in endeavouring to procure a better supply of water in the poorer parts of the City, and especially on Sundays, repeated com plaints having been made recently to the City Com missioners of Sewers that the supply on Sundays was scant, and that the poor were much inconve nienced in consequence. The result goes to show that it is the niggardliness of landlords of small houses, 'and not the water companies, who are to blame in this matter, and that the New River Company in particular has of its own spontaneous motion, and free of charge, done much to make up for the shortcomings of landlords in that respect, especially while the epidemic has been prevalent. A deputation yesterday from the eastern districts of Whitechapel attributed much of the low fever which has set in there since cholera has abated to the short supply of water to small tenements, among other predisposing causes, and to the bad drainage. In Little Collingwood street, where they said there was fever in almost every house, the water, after heavy rains, was to be seen stagnating four inches deep in places, and the drainage was altogether unsatisfactory. This state of things arose wholly, they said, from the neglect of landlords, and the tenants, who were mostly very poor, were powerless to help themselves. They did not even complain, fearing if they did, and the land lords were put to expense in consequence, that their rents would be raised. A letter addressed to the Lord Mayor on the part of the New River Company states that for years past the company has given a Sunday supply wherever parish authorities had shown that they were unable to compel landlords of small houses inhabited by the poor to provide pro perly for their tenants; and during the late alarm consequent upon cholera, without waiting for appli cation, the company has granted a Sunday supply to about 50,000 houses. Indeed, where consumers are ready to take water in any way, and will give a sufficient guarantee against waste, the company are ready to make the supply constant. Besides, as a temporary arrangement during the epidemic, in order to provide drinking water for poor people without the contamination which comes from its store in foul cisterns, the company are allowing free of charge supplies of water to stand posts in the courts and alleys throughout their district. The local committees in the districts lately in fected who attend at the Mansion-house concur in representing that the disease continues to sub side, and that in some parts it has been altogether stamped out ; but there is much distress from bereavements, especially among children, and from the heads of families whom the epidemic had at tacked being too weak from its effects to work. The low diet also upon which thousands of the poorest classes in the east of London habitually subsist has, with other concurrent causes, superinduced fever in many parts. In the case of many of the convales cent Cholera Hospital irneghas been a relapse of fhoth have aa d vt disease e nb a t se s e e nf o rd Yr n e h t theuarr discharged e il dV g atph t P o n their homes. Many of the patients who had resorted to the hospital there were working men and seafaring people of the better class, and where death has resulted there have been some painful instances of bereavement among widows and children. At Richmond there have been six fatal cases of cholera within the Last few days, but the disease has been entirely confined to the workhouse, and is said to have been imported there by a woman from the east of London, and who became its first victim. There were no fresh cases yesterday. At a meeting of the working committee held yes terday, Sir M. Wells in the chair, grants of £lOO for purposes of general relief, and £5O for assisting convalescents, were made to the district of St. Leo nard, Shoreditch ; £5O and £25 for those purposes respectively to the eastern district of Whitechapel ; and £5O for convalescents, to the Wapping Hospital. A deputation from the Bow and Bromley Health .Committee of the Poplar District Board of Works, composed of Mr. Blott, the chairman ; Dr. Wood forde, medical officer of health ; Mr. C. Hoare, Mr. W. Oakley, Mr. Sherrard r and Mr. W. R. Brooks, waited upon the committee in reference to a state ment made by a Cholera Relief Committee from Bromley-by-Bow, of which the Rev. Henry Lance is chairman, to the Mansion-house Committee on Monday last as to " the dreadful state of the drain age there," and especially in reference to a remark by one member of that local committee to the effect that in some parts of the diStrict night soil was being used in making new roads, and even in some way for building pur poses. Mr. Blott, the chairman, and Dr. Woodforde, the medical officer, on the part of the deputation, gave an emphatic contradiction to the latter state ment, but admitted that the drainage was in an unsatisfactory state, arising from the low level sewer being unfinished, and from there not being sufficient pumping power to drain the district. That being so they said they had made extraordinary exertions to deodorise the district by the extensive use of carbolic acid, and by flushing it thoroughly with water. There were also so many agencies at work relieving the distress that they did not believe any case of real destitution could have gone unrelieved. The entire district Board of Works was divided into two parts for that special Purp ose ; t h ey h a d di spensar i es open night and day f or t h e supply of medicines, and provision was made for furnishing disinfectants and stimulants. They had, in fact, taken action in the matter before the publication of the Order in Council. Sir M. WELLS (the chairman) asked the deputa tion if they did not think that some of the servants or workmen of the local Board of Works might have used night soil in the abominable way which had been stated unknown to them, adding that they all knew to what courses sub-contractors and the like sometimes resorted. Dr. WOODFORDE replied that he did not believe it possible that such a thing could have been done without their knowledge, and he entered into some details to show the promptitude with which they had dealt with nuisances whenever brought under their notice. Sir M. WELLS said before coming there to com plain of the statement made by the member of the local relief committee in question the deputation ought to have written to the person making it to know on what grounds he had done so. They would then, as public men, have been in a position to give an explanation ; but he did not think they were at present able to give a total denial to the statement. It might be, when they came to in vestigate the matter as a.Board of Works, that they would find something had been done which ought not to have been done, or, as they now said, that there was no foundation for the state ment. Be that as it might, the committee would rest assured, after the statement of Dr. \%Toodforde, that the local Board had done all that was fairly re quired of them in the emergency. V some complimentary remarks madethe committee on Wednesday, as to the ar ran gements made and being made by Mrs. Gladstone for the reception of li t b h y respect D r. Andrew t o Clark in con valescent children, he wishes it to be understood that he did not mean that all the 28 children of whom he spoke had gone from the London Hospi tal, but only some of them. THE METROPOLITAN POOR. On Wednesday, September 5, a m ee ti ng o f th e General of the Metropoliton Visiting cominitt ee and Relief Association was held at the office, 21, Regent-street. The Bishop of London, president of the associa tion,was in the chair, and the meeting was attended by Lords Effingham and Ebury, Sir W. Farquhar' the Rev. J. Povah, and Messrs.

Sin,— Since writing to you my note of the 25th ultimo, I have visited the town of Upsala, which will deserves at tention, on account of its old university and picturesque cathedral. There is a capacious library, which includes in its catalogue many English books. I observed, among other works, Napier's "Peninsular War," S mimes' "Bri tannia," Whitaker's "Manchester," and Mahon's " Spanish Succession." The librarian showed can the view of old Upsala and its three mysterious mounds, which I have in spected—contained in Lubbock's recent work upon anti quity. Many English periodicals and works are received at Upsala. Here are beautiful walks and a delightful botanical garden, also a cemetery. reminding me of that called Bonaventura, near Savannah, in America. Here I witnessed a Swedish funeral, performed entirely in the churchyard. The mourners attended with the clergy man at the open grave, where the coffin was already deposited with a silver cross and fir boughs thereon. The service consisted of a psalm, an exhortation (during which a handful of mould was thrown upon the coffin); another psalm, and then the mourners and spectators dispersed. In the Botanical Garden there is a marble bust of that fine old man LiIIDEOUS, who is buried in the cathedral, and whose residence hero is still visible. I have rarely seen a more suitable place than this Upsala for the country seat of Mercury. It is worthy of a visit even to hear the finely-toned, melancholy cathedral boll. I have seen also the old Mora stones, distant from Upsala some six miles. These are ten in number, arranged in throe sides of an ob long figure, and placed within walls. The chief stone is about lift. long, and about a foot broad aid deep." It has three rows of figures, which I could not decipher. A railway erd long will bring Upsala within two hours' dis tance from Stockholm, and probably connect it with the towns of Falun and of Gefle, and the mining districts. The Stockholm Exhibition contains some admirable specimens of agricultural machinery, and instruments for war. The furniture department is also very good, and includes many valuable articles, which aro creditable to the producers. In the leather department Finland comes out well, and a splendid billiard table from Sweden deserves particular notice. Amongst minor objects, I was amused at the sight of a large bottle, apparently, some eight feet high. It was ingeniously composed of layers or rows of bottles of Scotcha!e, appearing, when viewed at a distance, as one leviathan bottle ! This Stockholm is a beautiful city, containing many objects of interest, parks, statues, a grand theatre and various churches. A week, at least may be pleasantly and profitably passed. Gothenburg may be reached in 50 hours by the river -boat, or by railway through Falkoping in less time. A third route leads round by way of Copenhagen, reach ing that place by the railway to Malmo3, and passing the birthplace of Linnaeus, near Elinhult ; or by coasting and possibly touching at the interesting town of Wishy in the Gothland Island. At Copenhagen I hope to forward to you my concluding notes of South Sweden and of that city. I arn, sir, yours faithfully, Olin- COOKE. Stockholm, Sept. 3, 1866.

Behic, Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, who is at present at Marseilles, paid a visit two days back to La Seyne, where he inspected the docks and workshops. A fatal occurrence took place off llavre, at about three miles from the shore, the day before yester day. The smack Eugenie,• having on board the master, named Fleury, his son-in-law, Assemin, and a seaman named Gauvin, was suddenly upset by a squall and went down. Fleury and Gauvin were drowned, but Assemin having reached two oars that were floating by him obtained a sufficient support to get rid of his heavy boots and a portion of his clothing, and then maintained himself on the sur face of the water until he was picked up by a boat returning from one of the vessels in the roadstead. The cholera returns from Naples and Genoa are lesi favourable. We learn by telegraphic despatch, dated yesterday, that in the former city the number of new cases the day before was 115, and deaths 85. At Genoa there were 35 new cases and 27 deaths. A Stuttgard letter states that negotiations for the conclusion of a Government loan hare succeeded. The firm of Rothschild has engaged to furnish the wh .le sum of 14 millions of florins (2f. 50c. each) to tho Government on conditions relatively advantageous. HEALTHY HOUSES.—The New_ York Bureau of Vital Statistics, and several physicians of that city, are pointing out lessons to be learnt from the waste of life which has just occurred by cholera. Foremost among them is the value of fresh air. Dr. L. W. Lewis states that s of the best prevention of cholera is to keep th e the your house open night and day, and let fresh air aadditional lungs and ventilate the rooms, putting clothing if necessary. Dr. F. Hamilton, broke out upon Blackwell's Island, keptheir room s open all doors all day, and the windows of t the disease.

[The Doncaster St. Leger is near at hand, to be rapidly succeeded by the Cesarewitch and Cam_ bridgeshire, the weights for which are now pub_ lished. Turfites are deeply interested in the results of these three great events, and are anxious to glean all reliable - information as to how the several candidates are progressing in their preparation, To meet the requirements of our numerous sporting subscribers, we have made arrangements to be fur nished daily with Special Notes from the various Training Districts, so as to keep our readers well " posted up" on the actual work done each morn ing by the principal competitors for the lending current racing tournays.] RICHMOND. Podargus has won his trial with Pedant and Quick March, but it was not a very satisfactory one, and he will be more at home in handicaps than in the great three-year old contest at Doncaster next Wednesday. Strathconan galloped two miles again this morning, led by Beatrice, and accompanied by Dolan and Raunds. If the ground be at all " holding," which it is not unlikely to be, he will take a lot of doing for the Leger, and no one knows yet whether Lord Lyon is fond of dirt. Rose and Plaudit are very fit, so are Gipsy King and Newland ; bat Chatsworth is mode rate. NEWMARKET. The roan colt, belonging to Lord Glasgow, merely can tered again to-day. Honiton was absent. Robin Hood did very little. The following two-yr-olds engaged at Doncaster were in nice steady work :—Lochabor, Stolen Kisses, The Hermit, Star of India, Sunnylocks, the Miss Sarah colt, lmperator, Scour de ()barite, Pedagogue, Julius, Pericles, Ettrick, Flutter colt, The Hatter, Fripbnnier, Problem, Maid of Masham filly, Knight of the Garter, Dovetail, &c. The Rake is also doing well. The other horses engaged for next week that are in strong work in clude King Charming, Nu,Vespasian, Indigestion, Ambition, Artesian, Lothario, Cecrops, Il It) Galantuomo, Miss Har riete, Maid of Masham filly (3 yrs), Lass o'Gowrie, Bertie, and Wellesley. Tourmalin goes first class, and so does Tormentor. Janitor is leading Jasper, Hippie, and some other youngsters belonging to Baron Rothichild. MARLBOROUGH. Savernake has been put through the mill (Challoner riding), but was beaten by both Bradamanto and Pintail The horse, however, goes splendidly ; and it will be recol lected that he lost his first trial before the Derby, and then got within a neck of Lord Lyon. The rest of our team progress well. Tho Doncaster horses leave hero on Sunday. ILSLEY. All goes well with Lord Lyon, and when Elland returns from Leicester ho will be tested. He moved brilliantly this morning, both in his long cantor with Gardevisure, and, the mile and three-quarters gallop with Split the Difference. Gardevisuro galloped Achievement and Rustic a mile, the sister to Lord Lyon sticking well to the old mare, which places the Champagne Stakes result beyond a doubt. MALTON. Claros is dead. Knight of St. Michael gave Knight of the Crescent a mile and three-quarters gallop this morn ing ; War took Westwick nearly two miles. No four horses could possibly move better. Westwick has quite recovered his Great Dior and Stockton form. Tho Wild Wind, Grand Cross, Queen of Nuts, Klarnet, Hobe, Klarinska, Bird of Eve, Amazon, Treasure Trove, Malta, Messmate, Lina, Sycee, Outcast, and Skysail, are all in beautiful con dition. John Scott will have only Westwick, War, Klarnet, Knight of St. Michael, Knight of the Crescent, Grand Cross, and Queen of Nuts at Doncaster next week. Claros ruptured himself at exercise and is dead. TURF AGENCY OFFICE, 100, JERMTN-STREET, ST. JAMES'S, LONDON. R.
