10 - N EY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the discount market there is a steady demand at 2-7,. 3 per cent., and the applications received by the Bank of England are rather numerous. At the Bank of England, on Saturday, a with drawal of £16,000 took place. Specie to the amount of £96,674 has arrived by the Rhone, mail steamer, from the West Indies. V ice - Chancellor Malins has confirmed the ap pointment of Messrs. Cooper, Kemp, and Astley, as liquidators of the Marseilles Extension Railway and Land Company, and directed the voluntar) liquidation to be continued under the supervision of the Court. The progress of business in the manufacturing d istricts d ur i ng the past week has been interrupted Y the observance of the Easter holidays. At Manchester, however, rather higher prices have been current for cloths and yarns, consequent °Pea an advance in cotton at Liverpool, and some extensive transactions have been reported for the Indian markets. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown little c hange ; there has been a moderate inquiry for sea sonable goods, but without material variation in P ri ces. At Leicester and Nottingham more ac tivity has prevailed in the lace and hosiery depart ments ; while at Birtuingham, • Sheffield, and lVol verhampton th e operat i ons have been on a li mited„ scal e , most o f the principal departments of aUsilless having b een c l ose d f or the Easter holidays, d prices have remained without alteration. Two o'CLOCI. A ccording to Renter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 67f. 90c. Great agitation. Business at the Stock Exchange is in a very un settled state owing to the varying telegrams from Paris and Berlin, the fluctuations on the principal Continental markets, and a fitful species of specula t,l°°. Th e a d vance induced by the rise in the Bourse on Saturday has led to sales in realization of profits, especially as the Rentes are not so firm as they were early this morning. Consols are per cent. higher than on Saturday, at 901 for money and t „, h e account, and 911 1 for the June settlement. l'he liquidation of the fortnightly account is pro sing s atisfactorily. satisfactorily.

Walpole, her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, having given a most careful and anxious consideration to the whole matter, feels it to be his duty to recommend her Majesty to remit the remaining portion of Toomer's sentence.

SECOND COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron Channell and a Common Jury.) COLE V. MACKELLAN--TAKING CARE OF A DOG. This was an action to recover 'compensation in damages for an alleged false imprisonment. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Sergeant Ballantiue and Mr. Butler Rigby for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was check-taker and bill-poster at the Raglan Music-hall, and the defendant is a gentleman carrying on business in the City. It seems that one evening about six weeks ago a dog belonging to the defendant strayed from its master and cam.; into the possession of the plaintiff. lie took it back to its master, who, sus pecting that plAr.tiff had stolen it, gave him into cus-_ tody, but did net subsequently appear to prosecute. The plaintiff had in consequence in justification of his own cli.tr,icter brought this action. The Plaintiff's own account of the transaction was, that he was on duty one evening at the Raglan, and two gentlemen, Messrs. Shears and N orman came in with the dog and told him that the dog woul I follow them, and, as it was evidently a pet d.ag, he had better take it home to the address which was upon the collar, he did so and was given into custody. Mr. Norman, music seller, in Rathbone - -plac'e, stated that he was going home in company with Mr. Sheares when the dog followed him. He did not like the dog following him as he had another dog with him, and when he got home he shut it out into the street, when he went to get some beer for his supper it was still there, it followed him again to the - public-house. He had his supper, and it re mained in the street till he came out, and went to the Dolphin where he had appointed to meet Shears. They then went to the Raglan, the dog still followal them, and he considered that as Cole had more time than they had he had better take it home. Mr. Shears, music engraver, gave corroborative evidence. This closed the plaintiff's case. Sergeant Ballantine endeavoured to show that by section 103 of the act relating to dogs, that the defendant was justified in having a suspicion that the dog had been stolen, and was thoroughly exone rated for having given him into custody. The learned judge considered that the act did not apply. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then withdrew the im putation cast upon the plaintiff, and consented to allow a verdict of £5 ss. in his favour. The dog, which was the unconscious though ori ginal cause of the suit, was present in court, and proved to be a sharp, bright-eyed affectionate little animal, but otherwise was perfectly worthless. Before Lord Chief Baron and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott. SLADE V. SLADE. The Solicitor-general (Sir J. Karslake) this morning resumed his argument in this case, during which he read a variety of documents to prove the restrictions imposed upon military men in Austria with regard to marriage, and which he contended clearly proved that the Baron von Koeber had legally married Miss Mostyn with every injunction imposed by the Austrian Government. The learned gentleman having concluded, their lordships, in consequence of the illness of Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., postponed the further hearing of the case until Thursday next, on which day it was said the learned gentleman would be sufficiently re covered to proceed with his branch 'of the case. MARK-LANE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were scantily!supplied with wheat, which moved off steadily, on rather higher terms. in the value of spring corn and flour very little change took place. . Throughout the Continent very high prices continue to be realised for wheat, and most other articles. The ship ments of produce from America are still limited. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lon don last weak amounted to 26,297 quarters of wheat ; 7,083 barley ; 46,230 oats ; 2,295 rye ; 2,170 beans ; 365 peas; 4,013 rapeseed; 813 maize; 320 sundry ; and 725 sacks of flour. A v.ry limited quantity of English wheat was received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage. The at tendance of millers was limited ; yet factors demanded an advance in the quotations compared with Monday last of from is. to 2s. per quarter. So little business was trans acted, however, that the rise was not supported. There was a fair quantity of foreign wheat on offer. A few fine parcels changed hands at ls. to 2s. per quarter more money co.apared with this day se'nnight ; but the improvement was by no means general. The inquiry for floating cargoes of grain was steady at very full prices. Scarcely any English barley was brought forward, but the supply of foreign was good. 'rho barley trade was ar from active, nevertheless the quotations were well supported. Malt was in full average supply and sluggish request, at late rates. Although tho show of foreign oats was extensive, tho oat trade was steady, and good sound corn was the turn dearer. Beans commanded extreme rates, with a moderate demand. The supply of English was limited. The transactions in peas were limited. Prices, how ever, were well supported. Both English and foreign flour was held for more money. Town made advanced 3s. per 2801bs. Linseed was inactive, at late rates; but rapeseed com manded full prices. Cakes and agricultural seeds were in full inquiry. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on sale hero to-day. The demand for most kinds ruled very in active, at barely stationary prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were on the increase, and for the most part in excellent condition. The attendance of buyers was limited. Prime Scots and crosses were in fair request, at prices equal to Monday last. Inferior stock moved off slowly, and, in some instances, the quotations were a shade lower than on this day se'ennight. The top figure was 58. per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire we received about 1,640 Scots, short horns and crosses ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; and from Scotland, 283 Scots and crosses. We were seasonably well supplied with sheep both as to number and quality. On the whole, the trade was inactive ; nevertheless very little change took place in the quota tions.

DO W-S TREET. EXTRAORDINARY BEHAVIOUR OF A BARRISTER. Mr. Simon Lamb, a barrister, residing at 1, Paper Buildings, Temple, was charged with being drunk and behaving in an extraordiulry manner in Bow-street. Edward Parsell, 113 I', deposed that about half-past two o'clock this morning ho was on duty in front of Bow-street Police-station. His attention was called to two young women who were running up Bow-street screaming and shouting for help. Tho prisoner was chasing them, calling out "that he was the Devil." This frightened them very much. Tho two women on per ceiving witness ran to him for protection, but the prisoner still persisted in chasing them round the constable, and said "that lie would not be interfered with, as he was the Devil." Tho prisoner at last became so ry disorderly that witness was compelled to take him to the station-house. The two young women had signed the charge sheet but had failed to attend this morning to prosecute. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he was very sorry, and that ho he had ;been drinking and got very drunk, but did not remember.anything of the occur rence. ➢ir. Flowers—l suppose that the girls really though t that he was the Devil ? (Langhter.) Witness—Yes, your worship, I think they did by the way they ran and screamed. Mr. Flowers —Well, if he bad been the Devil, it would have been a very fortunate capture. (Loud laughter.) But as it is I shall fine him 10s. or 7 days' imprisonment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE AT A CAFE.—Mary Jones, a stylishly-attired young woman, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with being drunk and disorderly,- and assaulting Joseph Barber, porter at a cafe, No. 63, Haymarket, and Charles Adams, a young man residing at No. 22, Great Percy-street, Pen tonvillo, was charged with attempting to rescue Jones from the custody of the police. Joseph Barber, porter at a cafe, No. 63, Haymarket, said that, shortly after 12 o'clock on Saturday night, the pri soner Jones came to the cafe, and directly after she came in she kicked up a disturbance. As she refused to leave when requested he was obliged to get the assistance of the police, when she became very violent, upset all the chairs in the room, threw herself down, and bit his hand. While the constable was trying to take her to the station a number of persons surrounded him, knocked off his hat, and Adams tried to rescue her from the constable. In reply to Mr. Mansfield, the witness said the female had been drinking, but well knew what she was about Adams was sober, and said when he took hold of the female that she should not go to the station. Adams denied saying the female prisoner should not go to the station. Jones said she did not re mem ber anything till she was brought to the court. Jeremiah Mead, 126 C, proved seeing the female prisoner, who was very violent, bite Barber's Land. As soon as he got outside the cafe door a mob got round them, his hat was knocked off, and Adams tried to get the female pri soner away from him by striking him on the arms and pulling her away. While at the station the female prisoner struck him two or three times in the face. Adams denied striking the constable. Willi a m Mickleborough, 307 A, said ho was present in the station when Adams was brought in, wearing at the time the red and black shawl Jones was wearing in court. He saw Jones strike the last witness in the face. Adams said that seeing the feriale'being roughly handled he put his arm round her waist, and said he would put her into a cab, and get her away,, tut ho did not know at the time that she was in custody or ho would not have inter fered. Somebody knocked the constable's hat off, and then the constable charged him with attempting to rescue his prisoner. He denied striking the constable. Mr. Mansfield said the female prisoner, who had acted very badly, and been the cause cf the affair, would be fined £5 or a month, and Adams, whc had acted very foolishly would have to pay 40s. or a month. WES lIIIMTER. AN INI[tTMAN WRETCH.—Ante Williams, a dirty-look ing woman, with a black eye, was charged with the fol lowing most inhuman conduct:—Mr. William Deacon, of the Prince of Wales' public-louse, York-street, West minster, said—Last night this venial) came into my bar, and began quarrelling with a number of persons. I ordered her out, but she refused to go for some time, and then she would not take away a child that she . had with her. A woman came iu and hok the child up, and pri soner remained at the bar fo. some time making a dis turbance. She then took the infant from the woman by one arm, and threw it on the avemcnt, as though it was a cat or a dog. I went to lookfor a constable. She took the child up in her arms, and : followed her. Then she took the child's clothes up and whipped its bottom severely. Just as a constablewas in sight, she threw the child on the pavement again and kicked it. Mr. Sells : What state was she in ? Complainant : Drunk ; bat the had nothing to dritik in Tay house. Defendant—l went to look ifter the father of my child, who has only given me fourpgice for ten weeks, and then I was attacked by him and Loten. Mr. Solfe—What has that got to do with this brutal ,reatment to your child? Defendant—l am sure I welt very well. Mr. Selfo—By throwing it down on the pavement and beating and kicking it ? Defendant—lf it was on tte pavement it must have fell while I was being ill used. Complainant—There was nobody near her at the time she did it. She was not bein; ill used in any way. Mr. Selfe—What is the ago of the child ? Defendant—Two years and a half. I am sure I ialio every care of it. A person from tho workhouse produced the child, and said that when it was brought in it kept putting its hand to the side of its head. It had no bruises about it. Mr. Seifo —lf you havo any claim, defendant, on the father of the child for its maintenance, you must Prosecute in the usual way, You are a disgusting woman, and aro committed for three weeks to hard labour. THAMES. A RARE EVENT.—William Henry Jarvis, a very staid and respectable looking man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and disorderly, and while in that stato assaulting Joseph Targeut, a police-constable, 697 A. The complainant stated that he saw the prisoner in the Whitechapel-road on Saturday night, at half-past eight o'clock, very drunk and noisy, and with a largo number of disorderly persons about him. He took the prisoner into custody and conveyed him to the station-house. On the way there the prisoner kicked him on the leg below the knee. Mr. Paget—Did ho hurt you ? Witness—No, sir, be did not. The prisoner, in defence, said be was very sorry for what he had done. He was drunk on Saturday night. It was a very good job the police took him into custody. if they had not done so he might have been robbed and ill used. Mr. Paget—What are you ? Prisoner—A master shipwright, and my. residence is No. 9, Circus, Minories. Mr. Paget—lt is a rare event for me to inflict fines for assaults on the police. They have difficult, and in many cases dangerous, duties to perform, and my convictions for assaults upon the police in the execution of their duty is properly done, as it was in this case, have been almost invariably followed by imprisonment and hard labour. In this case the constable was not hurt, and I think I may with propriety fine the prisoner 405., and not send him to prison. The money was paid. THE FENIAN TRIALS. -- DUBLIN, SATURDAY NIGHT.—The further hearing of the trials for high trea son wore resumed this morning, at the Commissioners' Court. Corydon stated in evidence that it was he who gave information of the intended attack on Chester Castle, which was arranged tho night infore, at a meeting of American officers, in Edgar street, Liverpool. The Fenian leaders, suspecting treachery, countermanded 4he enterprise. On cross-examination he admitted that he had been supplying the Government with information since the middle of 1866, and he kept the authorities well posted as to where they would secure concealed arms and Greek fire. At that time two sources of income were open to him— the Government money on the one hand, and Fenian gold on the other. lie came to the conclusion that the Fenian organisation was not worth spilling a drop of blood for, and ho then resolved to become an informer. General Massey stated on Friday " that ho served in the Crimea as a private in the Transport Corps ; that ho went to America and became an officer in the Confederate army ; that he joined the Fenian Brotherhood in America, and used all his influence to bring about an insurrection in Ireland ; that ho received £550 in gold, British money, from Colonel Kelly, on leaving New York, for carrying on the rebellion; that he met twenty centres in Dublin, to whom he gave orders for the general rising on the sth of Mardi ; that ho visited various districts for the purpose of organising the war; that the numerical strength in Dublin was 14,000 men, with 3,000 stand of arms, and in Cork 20,000, with 1,500 weapons, and he was about to meet the concentrated forces at the Limerick Junction when ho was arrested, and determined with his whole heart to establish the Irish republic, and that when iu prison ho was persuaded by his wife to give information to the Government. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and and Justices Blackburn and Shee.) THE QUEEN V. RUSSELL. This case has frequently been before the courts of law. It was an application- on the part of Mr. White, a gentleman lately filling the office of a clerk of the peace in Kent, for a mandamus calling upon the magistrates of the county of Kent, to show why they should tut re-instate Mr. White in his office from which he had been wrongfully dismissed. Mr. Mellish adressed the court in the early part of the day, and Mr. Charles Pollock followed. The arguments will not be concluded to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Murray.) IN RE LORD GEORGE WILLIAM LOFTUS. This bankrupt was described as of 10, South street, Park-lane, then of Regent's Park, and now of 31, Edward-street, Portman-square, and to-day was appointed for the first meeting. From the pre liminary statement filed it appeared that the bank rupt ascribes his failure to losses on shares, losses on bills, upon which he says he has received no consi deration, and ill health. The total liabilities are set down at about £9,000, but no account of assets has yet been filed. Amongst the creditors are Lord H e nry Loftus, Bantry, Ireland, who claims £l,OOO. Assignees were chosen, and a day named for the nex t meeting. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. This Day. The continued falling off in the receipts in the American ports, with the more peaceable look of the Luxemburg question, has caused the market to open at a halfpenny higher than on Saturday, and the sales will be 20,000 or 25,000 bales.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO DESTROY A DRINK ING FOUNTAIN.—Last night about eight o'clock a set of young blackguards who had congregated round the drinking fountain which is in course of erection before the shop of Mr. Day, baker, at the corner of Broad-street, Bloomsbury, set fire to the crates of straw and shavings used in the process of erection of the drinking fountain. Mr. Solotnons, clothier in the neighbourhood (before the engines arrived), with the assistance of several passers-by, set to work and speedily extinguished the flames. THE NEW NOVEL " RAYMOND'S HEROINE." Three vols.—"' Raymond's Heroine' (says the Times) is a clever and vigorous book. This is a book which deserves to be read, and it will be read. The reader will gallop through it with breathless interest. It is a book which will be guilty of causing careful mammas to say to their daughters 'My dear, do put down that book and go to bell.' It is very smoothly and fluently written throughout. The scenery of the various incidents is vividly painted ; the conversations aro lively, the plot is carefully and cohe rently put together. There is a chapter in the third volume, called ' Walter Lee's Dream, where the peculiar phenomena of that half-sleeping, half-waking, state, which wo call nightmare, are turn9cl to vary powerful And piaturenut accOuat." SPORTING NOTES. Now that one can look at the result of the Two Thou sand Guineas with impartial eyes, the difficulties which appeared to beset the backers in selecting a trustworthy champion.for the Great National Event, run on the 22d of May, appear to have almost entirely disappeared ; and there can be no doubt, on this occasion, the Duke of Beaufort has a far more likely chance of success—and I am sure his grace will have the best wishes of the public on his be half—than when the overrated Rustic represented the Danebury interests last year. Vauban, who ran like a thorough-brad race horse, won, to my thinking, in the commonest of mnteTs, and as he is one Of the gamest horses that ever :galloped over a Derby course, it cerpainly reduces . that race to a narrow com pass. Of the few horses, except extreme outsiders, now likely to distinguish themsel yes, only Dragon, The Rake, and D'Estonrnerremain. Trocadero would not be irn proved by the kicking he received front Julius, and as it is now reported that the last-named horse is far inferior to his stable companion, Count La Grange must have a great chance of repeating his Gladiateur triumph. I know up to the last moment before the accident to his unfortunate jockey—ll. Griinshaw—he thought D;•agon's chance second to none; and believing Lint to be a sound, good horse, I should recommend an investment on him at his present price. The Rake, on his last year's form, it he can get over the distance, is also bound to attract the Judge's attention. Ho was decidedly the best performed two year old out, having proved himself, through Cellina, better than The Hermit, setting aside the easy manner in which ho beat Achievement for the Middle Park Plato. Whether that filly was out of form or not, I venture to predict a repetition of her defeat whenever they meet on similar terms. Having expressed an . opinion on several occasions lately that Hermit is an infirm horse, I cannot believe' in his chance, although if sound he must possess a wonderful one, looking at Knight of the Garter's running in the Two Thousand Guineas last week. The Chester programme is of the usual magnitude, and the meeting bids fair to rival any of its predecessors in point of racing and patronage. The Wynnstay Handicap will probably go to Go oJERAT, unless LEAP YEAR should be amongst the starters, and ho is sure to pay his 'way dur ing the season. It reads like 9. certainty in the Eaton Plate for CRIBISA or THALASSIUS, whichever represents • Lord Stamford's interest, and next to tliem I fancy LA MAUDITE. The Mostyn Stakes reads like a good thing for LADY HIGHTHORN. Of the 20 horses entered for the Ches terfield Stakes, my opinion is decidedly in favour of ARUNDEL, although if The Hunstman should come to the post he must, with all his weight, have a chance from his running with old Saccharometer at Warwick. The Pala tine Stakes, with selling conditions and allowances, &c., is best left alone. The other stakes run on the first day have not yet closed. On Wednesday the Great Produce Stakes will certainly go to Lord Stamford's representative; probably HEL VELLYN ; and QUEEN OF TRUMPS ought to have no diffi culty in securing The Flying Handicap for Lord Bateman unless MONGREL, by no means badly in, gives us a taste of her quality. The Dee Stand Cup ought to be won by ' FEODOR or Cliff's representative, and I see nothing to beat VOLUNTEER in the City Members' Plate, the distance, six furlongs, being farther than The Queen of Trumps usually travels successfully. The following list comprises all those animals from whom I anticipate the winner of the Chester Cup will turn up : Horse. Age. Weight. Jockey. Rama Lecturer Tormentor Moulsey Caithness Archimedes Lucifer Gomera Miss Havelock Madame Cleopatre Amanda colt Leases Surney Bracken Sunflower filly Weather Star..... 3 Rama proved himself a thorough race horse on several occasions last season, and it only requires him to come well to the post to give a satisfactory account of all his competitors, and especially.of Lecturer and Gomera, both of whom would have to succumb to him. Not being in the secret of his noble owner's intentions, however, I can not dispute the great chance John Day's selected animal must have, although, if it be Lecturer, I am at a loss to know the reason why Quick March, or rather Miss Havelock, should not beat him again, as she was not half prepared for the Northamptonshire Stakes, and is a great deal more fit to run for the Cestrian prize than she was then. Tormentor, it is to be hoped, will go better in the actual race than she does in the market. Moulsey is remarkably well in, but the on horse will not like the distance. If Caithness comes fresh to the post lie is bound to hold a conspicuous position in the race, but the only geol policy iu his case will be to follow the money. Archimedes has a temper which may expose itself over such a course as the Roodee, otherwise it will not surprise me to see him for ward iu the actual race. Lucifer has been . highly tried, backed for a lot of good money, and is, I think, sure to get a'place. Madame Chibpatre, 'Amanda colt, and Leases, will all be beat by Mr. Wood's mare. The only other that attracts my attention is The Sunflower filly, whose running lately stamps her as the host three year old engaged. To sum up the different merits of the field, I expect to see Rama, John Day's best, Lucifer, Archi medes, Miss Havelock, and Sunflower filly occupy the most forward positions; and I believe in MISS HAVELOCK winning, with LUCIFER for a situation ; at the same time ARCHIMEDES appears to be next very dangerous. Notwithstanding there are 34 nominations for the Two Year Old Plate, run . on Thursday, there is very little doubt LADY HAWTHORN will prove herself too good for all comers. For the Cestrian Handicap 1 prefer HoisTEIN, unless he should have incurred a 101 b. penalty by previ ously winning the Chester Cup, when CONUNDRUM must take a deal of beating. The Dee Stakes will probably bring out The Rescue, Blinkhoolie, Premier, and Captain Kidd; at any rate, if the field is swelled by others, it is not very likely they will interfere with the result. Lord Coventry's horse has been backed for good money for the Chester Cup, which is a convincing proof the stable think well of him ; still my opinion is in favour of CAPTAIN KIDD, who wound up his performances last season by beat ing Commissioner, Jeannie Deans, and Misfortune in a can ter. The Marquis of Westminster's Plate depends a good deal upon previous running, but MISTLETOE should be very near winning. The Welter Cup will be won by BRICK. Of Friday's racing, in the Badminton Stakes, Lord STAMFORD will most likely furnish tho winner, unless , CAWDOR should beat his selected one. The btewards of Cup is between IfosEs Ty and IIAMA, and in the absence Vauban, KNIGHT OF THE GARTER should win the second Beaufort Biennial Stakes. The other races which take place on that day are bAter left to the judgment of your readers A FRESH MAN The colt by Lampton out of Lampada, 2 yrs, has been named Duffer. The four year old filly by Dundee out of Leprosy has been sold to go to India. COLOURS OF RIDERS.—Mr. Joseph 8011, chocolate, with yellow spots, yellow sleeves and cap ; Mr. Charles Surface, black and white hoops. SNOWSTORM. —Mr. Leighton has named his four year old colt by Lord Fauconberg (winner of 'the Hunt Cup at Thirsk this year) Snowstorm. We are requested to state, as some uncertainty appears to exist on the subject, that Hugely Horse Fair will com mence on Saturday, June 1, and terminate on the following Thursday, the 6th. The match between Lord Lyon and Lord Glasgow's colt by Young MelbournolS to be run on Monday in the Second October Meeting, instead of Monday in the Hough ton Meeting. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.—Mr.Sutton and Capt. Coventry have made'a match foa,ooo - goys, 500 ft., to run Lord. Lyon and Viridis, weightferago,. Rowley Mile, on the first day of the above meeting. Mr. Sutton has also matched Lord Lyon against Rama for 1,000 sovs, 300 ft.; the race to take place over the Beacon Course during the same week, no day mentioned. BETTING AT NEWMARKET.—Late on Thursday nigh after the rooms were closed 6,000 to 3,000 was taken about Lecturer for the Chester Cup with a race, and even 5,000 laid on Blair Athol's foals against Stockwell's for the Derby of 1870.
