MUI4EY MARKET AND COMMERCI cd, INT ELLIGHNOB, TWELVE O'CLOCK. With the favourable returns issued from the Bank of England and the Bank of France, the general discount market continues easy, and the rates are still as low as 21 i per cent. _ _ No gold operations of public interest took place at the Bank yesterday. The Tasmanian has arrived from the West Indies with specie amounting to about £673,000, and the Arago from New York has brought nearly £40,000. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received a remittance from the Custom -house of Santa Martha, for account of the New Granada dividends of £2,000. The amount by this mail would have been larger, but for the impossibility of obtaining bills either at Santa Martha or Baranquitta. The list of applications to the issue of 4,000,000 florins of obligations by the Dutch-Indian Railway Company closed yesterday evening, and the applica tions received exceed the total amount. The price in the Stock Exchange closed at -a i f premium, with a moderate amount of transactions. The Bank of England return completed to the 27th February is again of a favourable character. The stock of bullion shows an increase of £78,899, while the reserve of notes has been augmented by £44,965. The private securities have also been diminished by £155,531. Annexed are the parti culars : Public Deposits... Other Deposits ...

Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Market during the last few days has continued very inactive. Scarcely any dealings have been entered into in sugar, and prices are almost nomi nal. In coffee there has been hardly any change as regards values ; while the public sales of Indian tea Lave proceeded with considerable animation, at full rates. Rice has been at steady prices ; while for spices, fruit, saltpetre, and tallow slightly reduced rates have been established. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 28 30, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have advanced 1, to 221 231. The official returns relating to Trade and Navi gation for the twelve months ended 31st December, 1 866, have been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom have been £188,827,785 against £165,825,725 on the previous year, and showing an increase of £22,992,060. The in crease has been most perceptible in coals and culm, cotton manufactures, earthen ware and porcelain, haberdashery and millinery, linen manufactures, and woollen and worsted manufactures. The importation of the principal articles have been larger as regards raw cotton, Petroleum, quicksilver, sheep and lambs' wool, wheat, f lour, rum, brandy, tea, unrefined sugar and wine, but a diminution is perceptible in flax, hemp, pro- Visions, raw silk, tallow, and timber. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade, for both the entries inwards and the clearances out ards, and the same may be also said of the coast ing trade. Two o'CLocx. According to Reuter's telegram, from Paris to daT, the French Rentes were TOf. 22c. There is very little animation exhibited in the market for the English Funds.

The prosecutor, who described himself as a merchant, stated that on Monday week he met the prisoner in the Strand, and asked bim the way to Crown-court. The prisoner asked him to step into a public-house, the Spotted Dog, to look at the "Directory." They went upstairs to the first-floor, where the prisoner began to turn over the leaves of the " Directory." Two mon came in and invited witness to play at cards, which he refused to do. They, however, sat down and began to play. The prisoner whispered to him "Don't play. After a while he said he could not find it in the "Direc tory." They then left the room together. ,In going down stairs the prisoner snatched the pin from his scarf and darted down to the bar, and thence out into the street with it. He (witness) hurried after him, but lost sight of him in the street. On Tuesday last he met him in St. Martin's le-Grand, and gave him in custody. He stated that his father was engaged on the South Eastern Railway, and that he had himself come to town that morning from Tun bridge-wells, with a pass, of which he produced the un used portion that was to frank him down to Tunbridge wells again. He denied having been in town on Monday week. He was remanded on bail for enquiry on this point. _ _ _ Mr. Stephens, from the solicitor's office of the company, and Inspector Parker now attended, and informed the magistrate that prisoner's statement was certainly true as to his father being in the company's employment, and also as to his having come to town ou Tuesday with a pass, of which the up portion was now produced. The prisoner said, if further time were given, he should also be able to prove that he was in " the Wells" on the day of the robbery. It was a case of mistaken identity. Ho was figaia remanded ou bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ESCAPING FROM AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.—A girl about 11 years of age, named Mary Pratten, who was charged before Mr. Knox a few weeks ago at this court with felony, and was committed to the Industrial School, No. 1, Lisson street, for five years, was brought before Mr. Arnold. Police-constable Benjamin Nicholl, 89 E, stated that the girl had made her escape from the school by climbing over the railings, and that on his receiving information that she had escaped, he having had her in custody on the oharge of felony, he made inquiries and found her in bed at her grandmother's in Mead's-court, Wardour-street, and that morning went and took charge of hor. In answer to Mr. Arnold, the girl stated that the reason why she left school was beeause she was punished for forgetting one of her lessons. The constable, in reply to Mr. Arnold, said the girl's grandmother stated that she was about taking the girl back to the school. Mr. Arnold said he would remand the girl till Thursday next, when Mr. Knox, who knew all about the case, would be sitting. MARKETS.—This day. MARK-LANE.

(Signed) RouLAD. REFORM MEETINGS. LEEDS. Last night a very large meeting of Liberals of all shades took place in the Town-hall, Leeds, to con sider the Government Reform plan. Alderman TATHAM moved a resolution strongly disapproving the delay caused by the course Govern ment had pursued, declaring Mr. Disraeli's scheme unsatisfactory as to the redistribution, inadequate as to the occupation franchise, and highly objection able as to the fancy franchises, which would afford facilities for fictitious voting. Mr. T. ALLEN, insurance agent, seconded the re solution. Mr. BAINES, M.P., supported it, and said he could not speak with confidence as to the future, which depended on what should be done with the bill. Nobody had confidence in it or the Government, which did not know its own mind. The unhappy choice of the Government was either to bring in a good bill and split up their party, or a bad bill and be forthwith turned out. But what would the Libe ral party do? Some wished to keep its authors in office and compel them to make it what they liked. But Mr. Bright said, "I distrust the Tories for this work. I summon the Liberals back to power to com plete their own work." (Cheers.) He said that the proper place for the Liberal party, who were a ma jority, was on the Treasury benches. He (Mr. Baines) stood as independent as Mr. Bright, and said the same thing. (Cheers.) To amend, liberalise, and popularise the Constitution should not be left to the open enemies. But there were Liberals in the House of Commons—he could not say how many— who would be glad to see Reform settled with the smallest concession to the people's demand. (Cries of " Shame.") But he (Mr. Baines) turned to the people. It was by such meetings as this, of those who valued the justice of their cause and its wisdom, and appreciated the necessity for carrying it to a suc cessful completion, that they must look for a larger, a more generous admission within the pale of the English Constitution of multitudes of those who would be its strongest and most loyal defenders. Therefore he was for a generous and a bold policy. (Cheers.) In conclusion he reiterated the words of the great Edmund Burke in reference to the Ame rican War of Independence,—" Tell me how you are to govern a people who think they ought to be free." If that with wisdom could be said of the three millions of men who then lived across the Atlantic, with how much more weight might the same question be asked concerning the thirty millions of English now uneufrauchised ? (Loud cheers.) The foregoing and other resolutions were adopted, and the meeting concluded most satisfactorily. BRADFORD. On Wednesday evening the following resolution was passed by the committee of the Bradford Re form Union : ^<< Considering that there are in this country about five millions of adult males who have no voice in the election of representatives of Par liament ; that the measure of Reform sketched by Mr. Disraeli will enfranchise about 418,000, of whom, at the utmost, no more than 150,000 will be working men ; that the proposed redistribution of scats is wholly inadequate to redress the existing anomalies in the representation—this committee is of opinion that the Reform scheme of the present Government is wholly unworthy the serious consi deration of any section of Reformers, expresses its indignation that any Government should presume to trifle with the just claims and desires of the people, and pledges itself to resist the scheme to the utmost ; and that whether it be passed or not, this committee will not for a moment relax its agitation for a substantial and honest measure. This committee is further of opinion that no bill that does not give a much more liberal extension of the suffrage than the bill of last Session will be satis factory to the people. That for the purpose of more effectually carrying on the agitation, the members of this committee will double their subscriptions to this association, and will invite the whole body of members to adopt the resolution at the annual meeting on Monday next." COURT OF REFEREES. The Court of Referees, though a single tribunal, has the power of sitting contemporaneously in dif ferent places with a view to the despatch of business. And yesterday two distinct Courts were thus at work in the apartments of the House of Commons known respectively as Committee-rooms 1 and 2. To pre serve unbroken the connection with the Parliamen tary tribunal, of which this is a development and offshoot, it is indispensable that the chairman of each Court should be a member of Parliament ; the other referees may either be members of the House of Commons, or not, according to circumstances. Thus in one Court, two out of these were present members of the Legislature—viz., Mr. Woodd, M.P. for Knareshorough, and Mr. Evans, M.P. for South Derbyshire ; Sir J. Duckworth, who for merly represented Exeter, presiding with them. In the other Court, Colonel W. Stuart, M.P. for Bedford, presided, aided by Mr. Hassard, ex-M.P. for Waterford, and Mr. A. B. Carter. The engineering questions discussed in the com mittee-rooms, although affecting materially the se curity and comfort of future passengers by the lines projected, are for the most part too dry and technical in their nature to be suited for publication. Mr. Woodd, however, made an announcement yesterday of considerable importance to practitioners and suitors in these courts. This was that following the precedent of the courts at Westminster, if there were no appearance when a case was called on, it would forthwith be struck out of the list. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PETITION. FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Tho LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition rela tive to the question of false weights and measures, praying that there might be a provision for the purpose of adver ising all those traders who might be condemned for using false weights or measures. HYPOTHEC (SCOTLAND) AMENDMENT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that with re gard . to this bill. he understood that it was the wish of many noble lords that it should he postponed until after the 13th April. As it was a ques tion of importance he should prefer that it should be post poned until to-morrow. This was agreed to. THE SCHOOL SITES ACT. Lord LYTTLETON presented a petition from the Comm4tee of the Church Institution, praying that the pro visions of the School Sites Act may be extended to the Institution, or enlargement of churchyards. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. Captain GRID LEY said on an early day he should more that the proposal to disfranchise entirely Lancashire and Great Yarmouth is unjust to the great portion of the electors not open to the charge of bribery, and that it was inexpedient wholly to disfranchise the two boroughs, but to allow them to return one member each. THE DOG TAX. Sir A. AGNEW asked the Secretary for the Home De partment, whether, concurrently with the bill now before the house regulating the "duty on dogs," ho would pre pare another bill authorising the county police to enforce that duty ; and also empowering them to seize and de stroy all dogs for which no licence shall be taken out ? Mr. WALPOLE said no such bill was in contemplation. THE PARIS EXHIBITION. Viscount AMBERLEY asked the Vice President of the Council whether it was true that a sum of £52 108. was to be allowed to each English juror on account of travelling expenses' to and froni"the Exhibition at Paris ; and, if so, whether that sum included the whole amount to be given to each juror, or whether he would• receive any further payment ? Mr. CORRY said that each English juror would receive the sum of 50 guineas as payment in full for the services rendered. Sowo of those persons would be compelled to remain in Paris six weeks, but no further remuneration would be paid. LIEUTENANT BRAND. Mr. OSBORNE asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he would lay upon the table of the house any subse quent correspondence between the Admiralty and Lieut. Brand since that officer was placed on half-pay ; and whether the hon. member for Middlesex was satisfied with the apology he had received from that officer? Lord IL LENNOX said his right hon. friend was de tained at a public meeting in the City, and under those circumstances he hoped he would postpone his motion. Mr. BUXTON said he would at once say that the letter of apology he had received from Lieutenant Brand was perfectly satisfactory, and he should have no objection to its publication. CONTRACT LAW (INDIA). Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India what was the present state of the question about a contract law for India ; ' whether any legal opinion in England had been taken as to the principle of enforcing Indigo and other Agricultural Contracts by penal enact ments; and, if so, whether he had any objection to lay that opinion upon the table of the house ? Viscount CRANBORNE said nothing had yet been decided upon, but he did not give up the hope of some measure being taken to give that protection to the plan ters to which they were entitled, whilst at the same time the rights of the ryots were maintained. LAND TRANSPORT CORPS. Captain VIVIA/4 . asked the Secretary of State for War whether the report of the committee on land transport for the army, ovar which Lord Strathnairn presided, would be laid upon the table of the house ; and if so, when. General PEEL said he had not yet received the report, and, therefore, he could not say when it would be pro duced. GAME LAWS (SCOTLAND). Mr. FORDYCE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it was the intention of Government to propose any amendment of the Game Laws iu Scotland during this session ? Mr. WALPOLE said the hon. member for Linlithgow had given notice of his intention to introduce a bill on the subject, until he had seen which he could nut give any information. THE TORNADO. Mr. H. TRACY asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he could give the house any further information as to the present condition of the officers and crew of the Tornado. Lord STANLEY said ho had already stated that 45 of the crew of the Tornado had been released by the Spanish Government, and they would be sent home by her Majesty's consul at Cadiz. With respect to the remaining portion of the crew, he had tele graphed to know the causes that still led to their detention. Ile had received an answer to his communication, and it was to The effect that they were retained in the event of their being required to give evidence as witnesses if further proceedings were taken. He hoped in a few days to be in possession of more detailed informa tion, until he received which he had nothing further to communicate to the house. THE REFORM BILL. _ _ Capt. GRINDLEY asked the Chancellor of tho Exche quer, whether it was proposed to givethat house an oppor tunity of considering the reports of the Royal Commis sioners respecting the boroughs of Lancaster, Great Yar mouth, Reigate, and Totnes, before any measure for the disfranchisement of those boroughs was laid upon the table ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the evidence and the report of the inquiry that had boon : in stituted were in the hands of hon. members, and a few days ago he had stated the conclusion at which the Go vernment bad arrived. In the Reform Bill which he should introduce in the course of a few days, the hon. members would find ample opportunity to challenge the conclusion come to by the Government. TENANTS' IMPROVEMENTS (IRELAND) BILL. In reply to Mr. MONSELL, Lord NAAS said he could not name the exact day on which he would proceed with the bill. it would, however, not be on Monday next. THE BRIBERY COMMISSION. Mr. OTWAY begged to ask the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether ho would lay on the table a return of the expenses occasioned by the inquiries, and whether he in tended to fix the payment of the expenses of the inquiries upon the inhabitants of the boroughs causing the inquiry necessary. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER begged the hon. member would give notice of his question. EDUCATION. Mr. CORRY, in presenting a minute connected with the code of regulations of the committee of Privy Council on education, made an explanatory statement to the house. lie said there was nothing in it at variance with the revised code, on the contrary it was calculated to render it more effectual. The cost, however, would be somewhat increased. During the present year it would amount to about £15,000 ; in the financial year 1868-9 the cost would be £40,000 ; but when it came into full operation, which ho expected would be in about three years, it would amount to £70,000 additional. Mr. LOWE characterised tho proposition as a tinkering up of the revised code, which would continue, as it bad hitherto done, to work well and economically if let alOne. Color el SYKES thought the only thing that would• be effectual was'coMptilsory education, as pursued in Prussia and other countries. Mr. AYRTUN asked when the minute would be disL cussed. Mr. CORRY said that the minute would lay on the teblo for a month, and if not questioned, it would then be actod upon. _ _ Mr. LONE asked, in the event of private members not being able to obtain an evening during the month, whe ther the Government would set aside an evening for the discussion. Mr. WALPOLE said tho question could be raised on the motion for the house going into committee. He did not see, under such circumstances, it was necessary to fix a particular evening. The minute was then ordered to lie on the table. • BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN BILL. Mr. ADDER LEY moved the second reading of the British North American Bill, the object of which is to establish a union, under one dominion, of the British North American Provinces of Canada, New B►unswick, and Nova Scotia, and which had been introduced by the Government at the earnest desire of the colonies themselves, and had already passed the House of Lords. Mr. CARDWELL spoke in terms of approbation of the measure, and complimented the Colonial Minister on the satisfactory manner in which he had conducted and brought to a close the negotiations with the culouies for effecting the proposed confederation. Mr. AYRTON complained of the haste with which the measure had boon hurried through the House of Lords and brought to its present stage in the Commons. Mr. BRIGHT animadverted on the fact that the bill did net include Prince Edward's Island or Newfoundland, which, he presumed, had been left out because they wore unwilling to come in. He doubted whether Nova Scotia had entered heartily into the union, seeing that there was a petition now in London against it which was signed by 31,000 men, being equivalent to half the male adult popu lation of the colony. The hon. member also insinuated that Canadian loyalty was not of the most disinterested character; that, in fact, it had its price; and he expressed strong and decided opinion for the erection of the North American Provinces into an independent State, which ho considered to be preferable to the project contained in this bill. Sir J. PAKINGTON trusted that the sentiments uttered by Mr. Bright would not go forth to the colonies as repre senting the feeling of the English House of Commons, or that the idea prevailed to any extent in this country that the loyalty of Canada had its price. _ _ Mr. WATKIN reminded Mr. Bright that the Senate and House of Representatives of Nova Scotia had unanimously approved a scheme of federation as far back as 1861. He warmly advocated the proposed measure, and argued in favour of maintaining the ties which bound the American colonies to the mother country. Mr. COCHRANE, in supporting the bill, expressed a hope that when it had become a law the new confedera tion would place their tariff on a mom liberal footing, con sidering the expense entailed on this country for their mili tary protection and defence. As to Newfoundland and Prince Edward's Island, he had no doubt that in the course of time, when they thought it would answer their purpose, they would be willing to join the confederation. _ . . C. FORTESCUE predicted the happiest conse quences from the confederation of the colonies, and ex pressed his hope that a great transatlantic kingdom would grow out of them to which England would ever look for ward with pride and satisfaction. After a few words from Mr. HADFIELD and Mr. MARSH, the bill was read a second time. The Marriages (Odessa) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Duty on Dogs Bill was passed through committee. On the withdrawal of the order for going into committee on the reform resolutions of the Government, and in answer to Mr. HIBBERT, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he might be able . to bring in the Reform Bill on Thursday next, but that as he could not pledge himself to a particu lar day, he would give the house fair notice of the evening on which he would be prepared to introduce it. The second reading of the Ministerial bill allowing counsel for the Secretary of State for India to sit in the House of Commons was agreed to after some discussion and a division. . . Leave was given to Mr. Young to bring in a bill to in vest in municipal corporations the management of their charity funds and estates. The hcuso adjourned at a quarter to 11 o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DERBY SPRING MEETING—TIintsDAY. This spring meeting, which was inaugurated to-day, proved an excellent addendum to Mr. Bradfield's gathering in Sherwood Forest, as it was very numerously attended, and produced some good racing. The weather being beau tifully fine, the town of Darby presented quite a holiday appearance, and the course was thronged. Prior to the commencement of the spot t some speculation took place upon future events, the Rake coming in for considerable support at 9 to 1, although those odds were obtainable to the close. The French colt Dragon would have been backed for a large amount had the odds of 14 to 1 been forthcoming, but nothing over 13 to 1 was offered. Major Elwon's horse was not in demand for either the Two Thousand or Derby, 4 to 1 being always obtainable against him for the first-named event, and 11 to 1 for the latter. Some betting upon the Grand National took place, Shak spere being backed at 100 to 12, and the others as quoted below. Full details of the day's sport are appended :-- The Derwent Plate of 30 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each ; winners of any race after Feb. 14 (at ten a.m.) 71b extra; one mile.

Vice Versa got away in front, but after going a short distance Anchorite assumed the lead and kept it until making the bottom turn, wh ere he gave way, Knight of Downe taking second place, but Vice Versa, holding his own up the straight, won cleverly by a length. Anchorite was placed a bad third. The Harrington Plate of 50 soya, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 SOTS each, for two year olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies and geldings, Bst 71b; winners ones, 41b; twice, 71b extra.

Betting —6 to 5 agst Eau do Vie, 7 to 2 agst Pyrenees, 100 to 15 each agst Handsome Jack and Substance, and 20 to 1 (at first Bto 1) agst Cork Jacket. Owing to the frac tiousness of Eau de Vie and Cork Jacket, the last named of who:n bolted four times, the start was delayed, but eventually the flag fell to a good start, Pyrenees cutting out the work with a slight lead of the favourite,. at whose girths was Substance, Cork Jacket in the inside being next, Ultor and Alarmist bringing up the rear, and in this order they ran to the distance, where Pyrenees and EAU do Vie quitted the others, and although Loates made a most reso lute.challenge with the favourite at the lull-distance, he failed to overhaul Prince Soltykoff's colt, who won cleverly by a Keck. Substance was defeated a couple of lengths for second place, Cork Jacket was fourth, Traviata and Alarmist, • together, fifth and sixth, Handsome Jack seventh, and Ultor last. The Innkeepers Plato of 50 soya (Handicap); winners of Tiny handicap after Feb. 14 (at ton a.m.) 71b extra; six furlongs. Mr. G.

Land lord got the best of an indifferent start, and cut out the work with a clear lead of Pantaloon and Queen of Trumps, Barnabo and Torch being out of the race after about 200 yards of the jotarney had been traversed. Before reaching the bottom turn Pantaloon gave way to Queen of Trumps, who held second place into the straight, which the trio entered almost abreast, and from the distance a close and punishing race ensued, but the favourite getting slightly the best of the struggle won by a neck from Lord Bate man's mare, who defeated Pantaloon a head only. Barnabo was placed a bad fourth, and Torch last. The Great Midland Steeple Chase Handicap of £lOO, added to a sweepstakes of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and 3 only if declared; winners extra. About three miles and a half. Lord Coventry's Chimney Sweep, by Ethelbert - Smut, 5 yrs, list (G.

After a considerable delay, consequent upon the officials not seeming to know the proper starting-post, the lot were despatched to a good start, Jack of Trumps making play, attended by Patience and Sprite, next to whom was Elsham, but at the brook opposite the stand the last named took second place, the lot, which were lying well together, being whipped in by Genievre. Traversing along the far side, Sprite and Chimney Sweep joined Patience, and the three went ou in the rear of Jack of Trumps, and in ad vance of Snarleyow and Genievre. At the fence leading into the meadow Elsham ran up to Jack of Trumps, Sprite at this point being in the rear. After going about a mile and a half Elsham 'got in front of Jack of Trumps, but soon gave way again and went on second, Chimney Sweep taking third place fully a dozen lengths in the rear of .the leading pair. This order was maintained up the hill, descending which Elsham drew up to the flanks of Jack of Trumps, and no change occurred in the respective positions of the remainder until reaching the brook, Which was cleared in the following order:—Jack:of Trumps, Elshain, Genievre, Chimney Sweep, Patience,' and Snar leyow together next, and Sprite last. In the meadows Chimney Sweep was very judiciously pulled into the rear, Sprite simultaneously with this movement taking second place, Genievre going on third, and Snarleyow fourth. At the fence, about three-quarters of a mile from home, Sprite lost some ground, Jack of Tr um p s at the same time taking along lead of Suarleyow and Genievre, but Sprite soon regained his position; ho only sustained it momentarily, however, for on jumping into the course he dropped into the rear. Half-vray in the straight Jack of Trumps and Chimney Sweep quitted the others, and the last-named getting the best of it, won cleverly by a length; three • lengths divided second and third, Elsham was • fourth, Patience fifth, and the other pair pulled up before reaching the post.

Lord Burleigh made the running into the straight, when he gave way to Queen of Trumps and Nu kuheva. The last-named obtained the advantage from the distance, and won easily by a length. Ten lengths sepa rated second and third; and Goldyloeks refusing, after going about three-quarters of a mile, did not pass the post.. WIIAT TIIE HYDE PARK RIOT HAS COST US.

The heath is in beautiful order now, and our Two Thou sand and Derby colts, as well as the Ono Thousand and Oaks fillies, are getting gradually into nice fast work ; and the handicap horses, too, are doing exceedingly w e ll. D'Estournel galloped a mile and a half, led by Leybourn, in splendid form this morning ; and Dragon went about the same distance, but more steadily.

Roquefort was cantering smartly ; and so were Eti chanteur, Cerf Volaut, and Trocadero. Jasper and Hippia galloped a mile and a half with Dalesman ; and Tourmalin a couple of miles by herself. Mann got on For mentor, and went over a couple of miles at a good steady pace, the Oaks winner moving in splendid form. Falken stiin and Camilla are in mile work only. Julius went a mile and a half at three parts speed ; and Avron, Bom bastes, Pericles, and the Flying Scud did nearly as much.. Star of India had a rattling mile and a quarter spin, and goes first class. Shakspere is the best place horse to back for the Liverpool Grand National, for he is a splendid jumper, is very fast, and can stay. Dermot Asthore is also a nice horse, and quite fit. Lathario, Sydmonton, and Nutrition are in longer and faster work, looking and going well. RICHMOND. Plaudit went a mile and three-quarters to-day, led by Bob Chambers, Newland accompanying them. The Two Thousand and Chester cracks are getting very fit. Lozenge took Bose a mile and a quarter. Stratheonan was striding over a couple of miles by himself, and grandly too. Moldavia was absent.

Gardevisure gave the two-year-olds their work, and Split the Difference cantered by himself. Brown Bread has been eased again, but is forward in condition.

Limner, Forecastle, and Lictor were sent over a mile, at a good pace. LAMBOURNE. Marksman was sent a mile and a quarter to-day, and moved freely, in company with Somerled, who has grown into a very nice colt. The two-year-olds are doing ex ceedingly well, but we fear _they are moderate in form. FINDON. We have had a quantity of rain hero during the week, and the covered ride has, therefore, been most in request. Rama and Thalia continue well, an i to-day were sent nearly two miles at three-parts speed. The 2-yr-olds were trotted and cantered. Only Rama and Thalia are in any thing like strong work. STOCKBRIDGE. Gomera, Lecturer, John Davis, and Rose Cheri galloped a couple of miles brilliantly this morning, and could not possibly look or go better. The Duke was still merely walking about with Fairfield. Lord Ronald led Distin, Vauban, Harpenden, Caucasus, and Uncas, a mile and a half, at three parts speed. Vauban has grown into a fine colt; and Distin is much improved. Lady Hester and Black Prince are leading the two-year-old strings, which are rather lengthy. Seville and Ines galloped a mile and a quarter with Ischia. The above were all that did any work worth notioing, the rest merely walking or canter lug about. MALTON. Knight of St. Michael led Wild Wind a mile and a half, a "cracker ;" and Grand Cross, with Taraban in attend ance, followed War a mile and three quarters.
