erne phases of life that are sad in them elves, but are told in an animated manner. " Play n g for High Stakes" is an elaborate sketch of society Vhich repays perusal. " A 'Winter at St. Peters )urg" brings the realms of snow before us in an Ml ?ressive style. " The Winding of the Skein" is one )f these illustrated sketches in verse for which this ?eriodical is famous. It is well told in its brief iadness. " Fashionable Tea-parties" introduces us to that new phase of polite society, which has, how 'ver, something cheerful and homely about it. "Sketches of the English Bench and Bar" this time contain Lord Westbury and the late Lord Justice Knight Bruce. k.CM.ILLAN'S MAGAZINE.—The two vigorous and Interesting stories which are running their cours_; through the pages of Macmillan are continued with unabated spirit, though in very opposite styles. A chapter on our " H4rne Defences" is worth reading, for it is written by one who evidently takes a deep interest in the subject in all its braneh,s. " The State of Ireland," " Female Art;sts," an d The Cretan Insurrection" are among the principal Papers ; and we have verses from the pens of Isa Cr aig, Knox, and George Smith, both of them surnewhat more ambitious than successful. TUE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.—This number of the Victoria is more animated, and more attractive in its character than usual. It is still chiefly devoted to the discussion of " Woman's Rights." NATURE AND ART. Nos. 8 and 9.—This beauti fully illustrated serial cannot fail to secure the favour of all all readers of artistic taste. We can szareely fancy a pleasanter or mere attractive com- Panion for a real lover of " Nature and art," than one of its well edited and admirably executed num bers. Mrs. S. C. Hall, always a welcome writer, contributes in these parts a characteristic story, called " Bizz and her Foes." CHAMBERS'S JOURNAL.—This old favourite has greatly improved since the commencement of the new series, and the February part has a great deal of very pleasant - "and readable matter. A new nov el, " Lord Ulswater," by the author of " Lady Plavia," gives promise of powerful interest, and t here are a variety of miscellaneous papers well 'Worth reading. Goon WORDS.—A new story by George Mac donald is a welcome sight to the readers of Good Words, who have, besides, contributions from Pro fessor Plumptre, Mr. Glaisher, Robert Hunt, and several other standard writers. TIIE SUNDAY MAGAZINE. Edited by Dr. Guthrie. .--This is a well printed, well written, and well illustrated popular religious journal, very well adapted for extended circulation among the intelli gent working classes. 11CONEY XARKET AND COMMERCIiI, INTELLIGZNOR, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been a steady demand to-day for dis count accommodation owing to the payments of the 4th ; it is satisfactory to be enabled to announce that the engagements at maturity have been easily arranged . We have heard it rumoured that the negotiation going on last week between a London banking firm and a rep resentative of the Argentine Government, for the remittance of a million sterling to that Government, has fallen throu g h, but new ones are Sai d to have been commenced this morning on the n ews received from the River Plate by the Oneida. At the bullion office of the Bank of England on Saturday there were no gold operations of import ance. r„ m eeting of the s h are h o ld ers of the London xavern Company was held to-day, when an ad j°llrnment took place until the 25th inst., for the purpose of making up:some accountsdesired.by the meetin g . f Th e account s f rom the manufactur i ng di s t r i c t s or the past week state that there has been in some instances, a slight improvement. At Leeds, Brad ford, and ITuddersfield rather more inquiry has pre vailed for ; spr i ng goods ; while at Manchester there fobeen a m o d erate demand for cloths and yarns r home requirements. In the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham there has been little change of importance ; while in the hard- Ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton a more cheerful tone has prevailed, owing to a better demand from several foreign Merchants and the smallness of stocks in the hands of home dealers. Notice has been given that the Bank of New Zea land will receive tenders for £300,000 of the Can terbury Government 6 per cent. loan. The bonds are to be in Sums of £lOO each, and redeemable on the 2d January, 1915, the interest to date from the 31st December last, interest and principal both to be payable in London. This loan is a charge on the revenues of the province, and is authorised by the Canterbury Loan Ordinance, 1862. The amount tow to be allotted is the second portion of the loan, £879,000 having already been issued. The tenders will be received up to 1 o'clock of the 12th instant. At a meeting held this afternoon of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company the report of the directors was adopted, and the dividend de clared at the rate of 12 per cent, for the half year, and, with the interim dividend already paid, equal to 10 per cent. per annum. Two O'CLOCK, There is still a continuance of inactivity at the Stock Exchange. Though very dull, therefore, the markets generally are in a firm position.

London and County are marked 67, and Union of London 45. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares are inac tive.

In dress, manners, and appearance they differ very little from the sous of English noblemen. The twelve Japanese jugglers who arrived in the same ship consist of seven men, two women, two boys, and a girl. The children are whirled round in huge humming tops, the others walk on the slack rope, and do the famous butterfly trick. This is a very clever performance ; arti ficial butterflies are kept up in the air by means of a fan, and made to alight upon flowers just as .butterflies do. The men are rather under the middle size, but are well formed and good-looking. They wear a large cape over the shoulders. Tho women aro the first who have over left Japan ; they aro not so good-looking as the mon ; ono of them has a peculiarly broad flat face. The children are interesting. Tho professional costume of the jugglers is unique in form and colour. The girl was nursing a huge Japanese doll. The jugglers gave a performance on board the mail packet in the lied Sea. The Japanese, officers seemed quite conversant with English manners at the saloon dinner table. The jugglers used chopstioks." MARK-LANE. The sale for wheat in the country markets held on Sa turday was heavy, at a decline in the quotations of from I is. to 2s. per quarter. In all kinds of spring corn, as well as flour, very little business was transacted on easier terms. On the Cortinent the demand for wheat, and most other kinds of produce, has fallen off. The exports of grain and flour from America continue limited. The arrivals of . foreign grain, de., into London last week were 23,986 quarters of wheat, 15,900 barley, 4,007 oats, 1,908 rye, 690 beans, '23,132 linseed, 32,014 rapeseed, 3,719 maize, 285 sundry, 4,629 sacks and 3,421 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate, and the condition of the produce good. Even for good and fine dry samples the trade was dull, while damp qualities were quite unsaleable. As regards the former, the quotations were ls. per quarter lower than on Monday last. In damp wheat very little was tran sacted, and the quotations were nominally 2s per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat, in which sales progressed very slowly. The aggregate busi ness done was small, and at a decline in prices of ls. per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request on rather easier terms. ,A,The supply of English barley on mile was moderate ; of foreign, largo. The trade was very inactive, and prices declined ls. per quarter. The malt trade was quiet in the extreme, at barely late rates. The market was moderately supplied with oats. The trade for all qualities ruled heavy, and prices had a droop ing tendency. In the beans, the market was extensively supplied. The trade was depressed as regards all descriptions, and the quotations were ls. to 2s. per quarter lower than on Mon day last. Peas wore in but moderate supply, yet the trade was slow, at barely late rates. The flour trade was dell, and prices had a drooping tendency. Linseed and rapeseed were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. Other seeds commanded but little attention. The cake trade was very inactive, and prices were rather lower on Monday last.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ;Before Mr. Justice Shoe and a Special Jury.) KEARNS Y. STORKES. The hearing of this cause was resumed this morning. The plaintiff, Catherine Kearns, had been the confidential Servant of the late Sergeant Storks, and she .brought .this action against the defendant, Mr. Robert Reeves Storkes, One of the deceased's sons,lcir having illegally confined her in a French lunatic asylum from the sth June, 1865, until the 29th of September in that year. The cross examination of the plaintiff having con eluded, _ _ Catherine Kearns, sister-in-law to the. plaintiff, was called—She said she resided at Tuam, and first heard of her sister being in an asylum in August. She received a lettet from her stating the fact, and she immediately proceeded `to Paris, where she arrived on the 14th of August. - On the 15th she went to Mr. Storkes in consequence of receiv ing a letter from him. She saw her sister in the asylum, and remained with her over an hour, and she could see no difference in her than that from which she now presents. There was nothing to lead her to the belief that she was mad. She said she should take her away the next morning, but she did not tell the Lady Superior that that was her intention. On leaving the place she went to Mr. Storkes's house, and told him she saw nothing wrong in her sister's state of mind. Ile told her it would l be . very dan gerous for her to . do so, as it might destroy the hope of her entire recovery, and that if she took her home she might die in a poor-house. If she was left in his charge he would keep her as her brother. : She did not on that occasion take her sister away, and on her (wit ness's) arrival in London the next day, she was shown her sister's things in the defendant's house. Mr. Storkes opened my sister's box with a key, and told her they were all hers. She said she would not touch a single thing, and then she left London for Tuam. She, however, in a short time again went to France, with the determination of bringing her sister away, but when she went to the place, where she was, she met Mr. Storkes, who told her that her sister wanted an operation performed on her (witness's) arm, and that - she was very ex cited. She (witness) wanted to see her, but Mr. Storkes told her it would do no good, but only excite her, and she again returned to Tuam. She however visited France a third time, and- she took her sister out of the asylum at Cheraton on the 29th of Sep tember. She said she was determined to take her sister away, when Mr. Storkes was sent for, and when they were both about leaving France Mr. Storkes waited to see the plaintiff, but she (witness) told him her sister had determined never to see him again but in a court of justice. Before they left Paris Mr. Storkes came and wished to shake hands, with my sister, and made violent attempts to do so, but she resolutely re fused. When she (witness) left" Mr. Storkes said he was her best friend, and that he hoped she (plaintiff) would never speak ill of him. The case will occupy the entire day. 'POLICE INTELLIGESCE.--This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. , A FALSE KEY ROBBERY.—Rebocco, Kennington, a young woman, servant to Mr. Beauvais, cabinetmaker, of New man-street, Oxford-street, was charged before Mr. Mans field with stealing money from her employer's secretairo. The prosecutor stated that he had frequently missed money from the drawer of his secretaire in his bedroom, and yesterday evening about six &doe); he missed a sove reign from it, having counted the money about one o'clock Ixben it was correct.„ Mr. Victor Esmery, book-keeper to Mr. 13auvais,iaire similar evidence to the prosecutor. Police-constable Webb, 114 C, said that on taking tho prisoner into custody she denied taking the money or know_ ing where it was kept. The prisoner had been out that afternoon. Mr. Beauvais said that he found a false key,which opened the drawer of the secretaire, where he kept his money, on the top of the secretaire. Elizabeth Watts, female searcher of the George-street station, proved finding a sovereign and 9s. in silver on the prisoner. The prisoner went down on her knees, and said "How could I take it ?" and begged her to take the sove reign and keep it, and do what she liked with it. In reply to Mr. Mansfield, the prisoner, pleaded guilty, and was committed for three months with hard labour. ARTFUL AND IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Hannah Douglas, a charwoman, was brought up by Dawson, 301 A, charged with stealing a quantity of wine, &c., the property of Mr. Harrington, 10, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square. The prisoner went to Mr. Harrington's house yesterday morning, under the pretence'that ho had to deliver a mes sage to Mrs. Harrington, and while the servant had gone Upstairs took the opportunity to clear the clothes-horse of a number of shirts, silklankerchiefs, and other property of the value of £lO. Mr. Harrington then gave information to the police, and Dawson succeeded in taking him into custody this morning and recovering the greater part of the property. Mr. Mansfield committed her for trial. WESTMINSTER. A=oolol7B OUTRAGE.—Patrick Greon, a man of about 26 years of age, was charged with the following atrocious outrage : Mrs. Gaum, wifo of a painter and grainer, living in Westmoreland-street, Pimlico, said--Last evening I was coming home with my husband, when I was most shame fully insulted by this man. I was arm in arm with my husband in Queen-street, Pimlico, when the prisoner camp in front of me and put his hands upon me in a most in delicate manner. He put both hands upon me at the same moment. Mr. Arnold—Did he say anything ? Prosecutrix—Yes ; he said "My dear, where are you going." I stopped still, for, from the manner in which he placed his hands upon me, I could not prOceeti any further. I could not walk. My husband asked what he did it for, when he made use of very bad language and showed fight. My husband called police constable 229 B, who said he could not lock the prisoner up. I might take a summons against him, and asked the prisoner his address, and then when he gave one told him to go away home. Wo followed him, and meeting another constable told him, and he immediately took him into custody. Prisoner—The man came up to me load said I . insulted his wife, and he kicked me and threw me down , without the least occasion. I never insulted his wife.. John Gaum, a respectable-looking man, husband of the complainant, fully confirmed her statement of the indeli cate way in which his wife had been assaulted. After pri soner had given an address prosecutor •vas following to ascertain whether it was correct, when he took to his heels, and then he detained him. • ol i ceman who refused Mr. Arnold—The conduct of t he p to take this charge was most improper. If there was a case in which a constable ought to take U. man into custody t is such an one as this. Mr. Howard, inspector of the B division —He is already reported. Some further evidence was given in confirmation of the complainant, it being shown that prisoner knew perfectly well what ho was about, Mr. Arnold said—This is a most gross and aggravated assault. You are committed for six months. THAMES. R OBB ERY WITH V IOL ENCE.—Charks Macarthy, a young man, a stevedore by trade, was charged with violentl the R y as- al sau lting and rubbing James Wliay, a private in oy Engineers, stationed at Chatham. The prosecutor stated that at 8 o'clock last night he was in Ratcliff High wa y , and met t,he prisoner, who a him w here he was po in g , to which he replied, ,‘ 1 am going to Scotland, and if y ou will show me e way to the b oa ts I'll give you a glass of ale. Ho .too th k the prisoner to a public house and treated him with some ale. The prisoner then led him down a lane and knocked him d own , and took a sovereign and .£1 in silver fr om his r ight hand trousers pocket. There were four other persons ü blic house w ith the prisoner. 'hey all came into the p Th where they remained ton minutes. lio waited a minute or two with the prisoner before ho turned into the lane. After he was robbed he held the prisoner, and the others I ran away. for the prisoner, c ross-axamined the soldier Mr. Gomm, at great length, and he admitted he had boon drinking ver y freely at several. public-houses. II() woul been ind not say risoner ho had visited ei g ht p ublic -house ; he might ve have and he six. He saw three women with the p , ga them some rum. He was not drunk, and could walk straight.

Last night in Pennington-street he saw the pri soner on the top of the prosecutor, and forcibly holding him down. The soldier said, "You are biting me." He pulled the prisoner off the soldier and said, "You vaga lx,:nd, what are you about?" The prisoner said "Mr. "I'll get some one to kno c k y our b ra i ns ou t if you it hb er i rs er i b. ." He threw the prisoner on the pavement. He did not kno Yir Macarthy. lb had kept public-houses, and probably the prisoner had seen him in ono or more of them. After the prosecutor got up ho said the prisoner had robbed him. In answer to Mr. Paget - , the - witness said the prisoner did. not attempt to run away, and that three minutes elapsed boforo the constable arrived. John Shepherd, No. 43 11, said that when ho cline up sad took the prisoner into custody, ho threw away a hand kerchief, which tho soldier said was his last night, The prisoner here said that the handkerchief was his property. It was sewn half through- and sowed under and ov,.r like a . seam in a pair of: trousers. Thero were also epots of blood upon it. ~ . The handkerchief was opened, and carefully examined by the constable and by Mr: "Livingston, the chief usher. The prisoner's description of it was a correct one. Mr. Paget asked the police-constable if any money was found on the prisoner, to which he replied in the negative. Inspector Holloway, of the H division, said he had known the prisoner a long time, and never heard any thing to his prejudice. On many occasions the prisoner had given material aid to the police. Mr. Gomm—The prisoner was never in custody before The soldier was drunk, and fell, and he- dragged the pri soner with him. Mr. Rohers and the constable said the soldier was drunk . last night. Mr. Paget thought the soldier's account was not trust worthy, and that no jury would convict in this case. He discharged the prisoner. Mr. Kinglake, 11M. P., at Bridgwater. On Saturday night the members' of Parliament for Bridgwater, Mr. A. W. Kinglake, and Mr. P. Vanderbyl, met their - constituents at the Town hall, -when Mr. J. Sealey, banker, was called upon to preside. Mr. KINGLAKE, who was very well received, after a araceful allusion to the late Sir John Shelley, who had contested the borough with him, went on to speak of the ill-feeling that had arisen between us and the United States on account of the Alabama. He then spoke of Reform, and he said it occurred to him that just as those reading accounts of a battle were still sometimes glad to get hold of a common soldier who was in the battle, to find out from him what sort of a thing it was and how the battle was carried on, so it might happen that they would like to know from him.what his impressions were of the conflict of last year. (Cheers.) The bill was intro duced very quietly by Mr. Gladstone, but he very soon had to intimate to the House the decision which had been come to with regard to the plan of divid ing.the Franchise Bill from the Distribution of Seats Bill, and Government intimated after the Reform Bill was introduced that in some future session, probably the next, the distribution question would be dealt with. That alarmed the house, which did not like to proceed with the one affair without knowing about the other. There was something almost amusing in the way the house regarded the demand to hold back the Redistribution Bill. lie remembered, in the days when he was tra velling in the East that he used to see marriages of the people. What the foreign spectator beheld, and what the bridegroom beheld, which was more important, was only this—he saw a bundle of linen somewhat in the shape of a coffin, with a pair of boots in which it walked,.not showing much of the form which was veiled, and was told that was his bride. The bridegroom did not see the bride till after the marriage. (Laughter.) But that was not the way of Englishmen, and, above all, it was not the way they could expect to be adopted by such a cunning old fox as the Hotise of Commons. (Laugh ter.) It very soon became evident that the House of Commons would insist upon having the other bill. Those who were really opposed to all reform ob served this feeling on the part of the house, and they said, " We will lay hold of this dislike which the house has to the separation of the bill% ; we NS ill connect our own opposition to Reform to the determination the house has to have the bills in one, ,and by this means defeat the whole measure." It very soon becanie certain that on Lord Grosvenor's motion a large majority would be against the Go vernment, some thought as many as 200. It occurred to him (the speaker) that inasmuch as the plan de pended entirely on connecting the two ideas he had described, the mischief might have been averted by separating them, and he gave notice of a motion for Government to bring forward the Redistribution Bill, but not till the other bill was safe through the second reading. The result of that was, it so weak ened the numbers of those who intended to vote for Lord Grosvenor's motion that the Government de feated their opponents by a-majority of 5. (Cheers.) The speaker described the opposition of Mr. Lowe to the Reform Bill, and he said that that gentleman had been in Australia, and it was very true he there saw rather a rough lot of people who gave him a distaste for what he called democracy, but he (the speaker) believed that his opinions on the subject of democracy were probably more deduced from the ancient writers than his experience in Australia. (Laughter.) The speaker condemned the conduct of Mr. Bright in wishing that placards denouncing Mr. Lowe should be placed in the workshops of the country on account of whathe had said of the work ing man, and he said that.if they were hit let them hit again ; hit straight and hard, but hit fair. (Cheers.) He said in reference to the resignation of the late Ministry, that although there was great dif ference of opinion as to the propriety of the course they took, he thought they acted like high-spirited gentlemen, and after what had passed it would not have been becoming in them to hold on. Then was formed the Tory Government, and from the hour when it was formed up to the moment he addressed them the secret, of their determination in regard to Reform had been wonderfully kept,—that was if they had any secret to keep. (Hear, hear.) But there seemed to be a suspicion that up to this time her Majesty's Ministers had remained in a state of great indecision. It was of the deepest importance that the question of Reform should be settled. It was important in this poin t of view amongst others, because as long as it was pending it so interfered with other and useful measures that reallydaff until w ere brought to a standsti ll—( hear, hear)— . an they could have the ques ti o n of Reform decided, they did not know how to ' frame their hopes of a n y poli tical improvement at all in any other direction. Now lie could not but think this waz for the Tory party, if they only chose to lay hold of it, a glorious op portunity, and he would tell them why. It was not merely that they at present wearebihnt was ol w di i l t lg h. office, and that they co uld introduce all the authority of t he Government ; but i fora this—and it 'was an enormous advantag Tory Tory Government dealing with a measure of Reform —that the measure Reform that it s by the lfaotretGhoovceoronsmorevnattiwyases so to movoodretorapteitt.ha(t it w as easy Hear hear.) He could not see why a great • political party as they were should pin themselves, by nicknaming themselves " Conservatives," to a policy which was in fact a kind of obstrucive policy. In an age w h en improvement was always going on, or ought to be g oing on, for a great political party like them t o sa y they were always resisting change—for that was the meaning of the name " Conservatives" — was to separate themselves from their fellow-coun trymen ; and, there was, nothing in their antece dents, as far as he kneir, to drive them to such a conclusion ; for the first who introduced a Reform Bill was Mr. Pitt, the great Tory leader, who intro duced a Reform Bill into the House of Commons, so that there was nothing in the traditions of the Tory party which should prevent them dealing w the question. If they did not deal with it Liberal party must act, and a reconstruction of party would then be necessary, and that, iu his humble opinion, could only be obtained by first at taining to a convergence of opinion. They must not try to have anything perfect, but what the Liberal party as a party could support. His advice was of the old-fashioned kind--follow the leader ; he meant the one in the House of Commons, and they could not have a better than Mr. Gladstone (Cheers.) They must have a measure which, with- out being democratic in such a sense as to endanger, their liberties —for that was what many peorA thought—should still be extremely welcome and congenial to the high-spirited people of this covatry. (Loud cheers.) Mr. VANDERBYL was in favour of a measure of Reform that would not reduce the franchise too low. If a bill were brought in, he would take for ; his standard suck an one as Mr. Gladstone woul a d promote, and vote accordingly.

The acceptances for the different handicaps at Lincoln, Epsom, Northampton, tind Chester have infused a consi derable amount of vitality into the spotting clubs, and those rendezvous where racing men most congregate. It would be an act of presumption on my part to make any positive selections for the events above alluded to at this early period; but the remarks I am now penning will, doubtless, be read and taken by your readers for what they may be worth, referring principally, as I intend them, to the public form displayed by some of. the animals engaged. TheLincolnshire Handicap, which takes place to-morrow fortnight, will produce a large field, as so many trainers will naturally be anxious to get a line for the other handi aps. The following is a list of those horses which appear to me to have the best chance : st lb Trainer. Saccharometer, ... aged 9 0 Goodwin. Christmas Carol, 5 yrs 712 Wadlow. Troublesome, ... aged 712 Jos. Dawson. Copenhagen, 6 yrs 712 J. Day. Mount Palatine, ... 4 yrs 710 Jno. Dawson. Violent, ... 4 yrs 610 Balchin. Bisraark, ... 3 yrs 6 5 Jos. Dawson. Gretna ... 4 yrs 6 0 Price. Black Prince ... Voltigeur, ... 4 yrs 6 OJ. Day. Problem 3 yrs 6 0 Bloss. Last week I alluded to the extraordinary chance Gretnt► must possess for the City and Suburban according to her two-yr-old form, and she is equally well in here, still the money market is the best criterion of her chance, and should be followed accordingly. Sae,charometer and. Copenhagen, second and third for this race last year, meet each other on exactly the same terms, but both fit and well at the post, I have a decided opinion that Mr. Hill's horse will give a better account of himself this journey; and although a CHRISTMAS CAROL is not quite in season on the 19th February, and it might be TROUBLESOILE to go to COPENHAGEN, I think one of such investments very likely to turn out profitable. The Epsom Meeting on this occasion takes precedence —the first time in my recollection—of Northampton, and. as the value of the City and Suburban and Metropolitan. Stakes is doubled unusually large fields may be antici pated, besides which the new Prince of Wales' Stakes, on the second day, will be additionally attractive. To go into details at present respecting those events would in evitably bring me to grief, and therefore I shall content myself by recommending the following lots, viz., for the City and Suburban : Ago st lb Trainer. Vespasian ~. 4 7 13 Bloss Abergeldie 7 1 ... H. Goator. Chepstow .„ ,7 A. Woolcot. Scarborough ... 5. 7 0 ... W. Day. Sportsman ~. ... 46 11 ... Wadlow. Gretna ... ... 46 4 ... Price. Sister to Vedette. ... 36 0 W. Day. Fby King Tom, out of Mayonaise 45 13 ... A. Taylor. Clarice m . 35 10 ... Castles. Ofwhom y preference now is for ABESWELDIE and GRETNA. • For the Metropolitan Stakes: — Age stab Trainer. Longhorn, 4 yrs 8 0 J. Woolcot. Whalebone, 4 yrs 612 Private. Sportsman, 4 yrs 610 Wadlow. Othello, 4 yrs 6 8 Jos. Dawson. Blinkhoolio, 3 yrs 6 7 Bless. Gilead, 3 yrs 6 1 W. Goater. And I look upon OTHEELo and GILEAD as the most fa vourablyweighted of the lot. For the Prince of Wales Stakes, those with the most flattering chance appear to be ABEItOELDIE, 4 yrs, ist 51b ; SCARBOROUGH, 5 yrs, Est 131 b ; GRETNA, 4 yrs, Gst 71b; and MUSICIAN, 4 yrs, Est 51b. The undermentioned six animals are likely to stay the course forthe Great Northamptonshire Stakes, which is one of the severest in England : Age st. lb. Trainer. John Davis ... 6 yrs 812 J. Day. Tourmalin 4 yrs 711 Hayhoe. Miss Harriette 4 yrs 7 8 Jos. Dawson. Copenhagen.. 6 yrs 7 7 J. Day. Othello ... ... 4 yrs 611 Jos. Dawson. Leases... ... 3 yrs 5 7 Price. The first-named horse has proved himself so good over a distance of ground, and this course in particular, making a shocking example of his opponents with 21b. more on his back last year, that it would be sufficient for me, if I knew h e represented the stab le, to stand him alone. and however, is also remarkably well in, and I feel H q uite sanguine whic hever John Day pins his faith on, will be very near, if not absolutely, the winner. a considerable Th e Chaster Cup has already attracted amount of speculation, but MoULsEY and PROSERPINE have been supported for the most to money. otheTo my in the race; thinking they both po ssess a chance sacond no r at the same Ono, the bast of John Day's . —l think Gomera or Black Prince —must be voiy formidable. Immediately after Lincoln I shall go into a fuller analysis of this rich prize, and in the meanwhile those who back the two first named horses will probably have good_ hedging. A FRESH MAN.

The Sunday Gazette understands that the Adul tamites are about to follow the example of the two great parties in Parliament in the matter of the social courtesies which precede the session. A dinneris to take place under the auspices of Lord Grosvenor, and it is understood that those attending are likely to show by their proceedings during the session their desire to give even more than a fair trial to Lord Derby's government. The dinner takes place at Lord Grovesuur's this evening. FATAL AC CID ENT. - 7 As the head-keeper, Alder son,- and his under-keeper wore out on the Duke of Wel lington's moor, near Ardgay, Ross-shire, on Thursday last, they came within shot of some deer. It was the under keeper's turn to fire, and Alderson lay down that h rse might fire over his head. The under-keeper fired his fit barrel without killing the deer, and at the moment he was firing e the second barrel , A ld erso n raised his he ad to sae the result L of the first shot. Unfortunately ho was directly in the line ' e of lire, and received a wound in the head which carried off the top of his skull and caused his death within a few hours.
