MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the discount market to-day there is no mate rial variation. The supplies of money are abun dant, as they have been largely increased by the October dividends, and these have neutralised the effect of a slight increase in the demand for accom modation. The failure was announced to-day of Messrs. Theodore and John Rani, of London, having branches at Liverpool, New York, and New Orleans, With liabilities of £150,000. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady at 24 25f, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 21 22. Gold amounting to £142,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England on Saturday. The adrices from most of the principal manufac turing districts report that during the past week there has been but little change of importance in the general state of business. At Manchester de pression has prevailed, and a very limited de mand for export has been experienced for either cloths or yarns ; while for the home trade buyers have acted with great caution, the impression being that quotations will yet rule lower. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Brad ford, and Huddersfield a slight improvement has taken place in the inquiry for home requirements. In the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham business hasremained very quiet without any material change in prices ; while at Birming ham, ,Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and most of the other hardware districts rather more activity has prevailed,ithe East Indian Railway Company hav jug invited tenders, as also the Indian Government, for the supply of considerable quantities of best British iron. The mail from Guayaquil . has brought a remit tance of £950 18s. 11d. on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. Two o'CLocK. At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the French Rentes were 68f. 37c. Scarcely anything doing. Increased depression prevails in the market for the English Funds, owing to the state of Conti nental politics, the condition of the Paris Bourse, the continued advance in the price of wheat and other Cereals, and a disposition evinced to enlarge specula tive operations for a decline not only in Consols but likewise in Continental Government stocks. Italian are affected by the expected invasion of the Papal States, and the idea of war between France and Prussia increases the debility of the various Markets.

Smith, lately keeping a beershop in Newport-mar ket, was charged with selling beer before one o'clock on Sept. 22, and also with permitting drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the house. Sergeant Harvey said—At a quarter before 12 on the Morning of Sunday, the 22d Sept., in company of a constable, I visited the beershop kept by the defendant. I knocked at the door, and some oue inside said, " Who's there ?" I said " Police," and I then heard a bolt put on the door, and some one say, " Keep them out and clear away." I knocked several times, but received no answer. At last the door was opened, and I walked into the parlour. I saw some earthenware jugs, pewter pots not being used at the house, one of them half full, and the other having a quantity of malt liquor in it, The defendant went behind the counter, placed a jug there, and on my asking him what it was he said it was only a little beer for himself. He asked the defendant,if he was the proprietor of the place, and he said he was. In the parlour, a room 9 feet square, there were 13 men and two women. He told the defendant that some of the persons did not appear to be sober, and that he should have to turn them out. One of the persons was so drunk that he had to hold by the door to let himself out. One of the women got up to leave, and on the floor I found a jug which bad contained beer, but had been concealed by her dress while sitting down. The defendant asked me to look over it, saying that he would have his name painted out and give up the beer trade, and open the place as a respectable shop. The woman he had spoken of was also drunk. I visited the house again with Sergeant Bunco, and found one man and three women there, the same whom he had seen before, and two others, one of whom was also drunk. The defendant spoke to one of the women, who told him to "shut up. or she would round upon him." Mr. Tyrwhitt—How long has the defendant kept the place? Sergeant Harvey—About three years ago I served two summonses on the defendant—one for opening his house before the proper time, and the other for permitting drunkenness—but ho never attended. He said he was not the proprietor, but I advised him to attend. The Defendant—Why I did not appear was because I was acting as the agent for another. Sergeant Harvey—l have seen the defendant at the place for the last year managing the business, and representing himself as the proprietor. Sergeant Bunce, 5 C—l know the defendant well. I had occasion some months ago to go to the defendant's house. It was full of thieves, and has always been a terror in the neighbourhood, being conducted in a very bad manner. The defendant then told me that he was going to give up the house. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l have not the slightest moral doubt about the defendant being the proprietor of the place. Sergeant Bunce—On tho day the summonses were fixed for hearing they were put off, owing to the defendant requesting that he was very ill, but I saw him the same day, and he was in better health than now. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall flue the defendant 50s. for each offence, and I consider the sooner the de fendant gives up the place the better. THAMES. AN UNFAITHFUL STEWARD.—DanieI du Siloa, a man of colour, the steward of the ship Eliza Shaw, lying in the West India Dock, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing 2 bottles of champagne, a bottle of brandy, a bottle of gin, a bottle of sherry, 2 tins of sardines, a bottle of mus tard, a bottle of pepper, a knife, a pistol, 6lbs. of candles, a tablecloth, 15 dessert spoons, 3 teaspoons, and 4 table forks. lle was sentenced to two mouths' imprisonment and hard labour. SOAP. Most people imagine that the best soap is that which dissolves easily and makes a good deal of froth in water ; but this is a mistake, for soap cannot acquire those qualities without being overcharged with alkalies. The only way of having soap deprived of causticity is to keep it a long while ; because it then loses some of the water it contains, whereby the caustic soda incorporated with the mass is brought to the surface by efflorescence ; it then com bines with the carbonic acid of the air, and becomes a carbonate. The soap-wort (saponaria) of Egypt contains a vegetable base called saponine, which was obtained for the first time in 1832 by Professor Missy. This principle exists in various other plants. Dioscorides tells us that the ancients used a plant called struthion (Lanaria herba, Pliny) for washing ' wool with. Forster states that the root of this same plant, called chohen in Persian, is reduced to powder by the people of Thibet, and used to cleanse the goat's hair with which Cashmere shawls are manufactured. In all Asiatic intertropical countries, such as Java, the coast of Coromandel, and Cochinchina, there is a tree called Sapo In dicus, corrupted into Sapindus, producing red vis cous berries much used in those countries for wash ing linen. In Chili there is a tree called quillay, first described in 1716 by Frezier. Its leaves resemble those of the oak ; its bark produces suds like soap, and is an excellent detergent of wool, though not for linen, to which it imparts a yellowish appear ance. The Indians wash their hair with it, under the impression that it makes it blacker. The wood of this tree is much used for building. In Europe there are several plants enjoying similar properties. Soap-wort commonly grows among the hedges and on the banks of streams, and the roots of clover are generally employed for washing linen in many parts of France. M. Duroy extracts saponine from the above-named quillay, which is now sold by grocers under the name of Panama wood. With this saponine a soap is made of a pe culiar quality which must surprise those who consider toilet-soap the best. It does not froth up in water, and does not stick to the skin, but cleanses it per fectly, imparting to it a peculiar softness and elas ticity. Pure saponine, however, will produce abundance of suds ; a centigram in a litre of water is quite sufficient for the purpose. It decomposes lime and even sea-water, while these, on the other hand, decompose soap made with soda, and trans form it into pellicles which do not possess the slightest detergent quality. THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A CHILD AT WOOL morning,an inquest was held in New road, Woolwich, on the body of Mary Golden, aged 1 year and 9 months. From the evidence of Margaret Golden, a single woman, the mother of the deceased, it was ascertained that she had left it with a German named Roder, with whom she lived (but who was not the father of the child) on Wednesday. It was then in good health, but on her return she found the child dying, which Roder said was caused by its falling from a chair. A woman named Boyce said she had frequently heard Roder beat the child, and on Wednesday saw him, through the keyhole, beat the child from half-past 10 o'clock to 11. She had seen him throw the child from one end of the room to the other. Mary Barrett gave evidence as to Roder's cruel treatment of the child. Dr. J. B. Ryloy said that ho had found several bruises on the child's head, the result of recent blows. The brain was congested from blows on the forehead, which might have been caused by a fall or by a clenched fist. Inspector Brown thought that the police would be able to find Roder, Nho has f or th e present disappeared, and the coroner ad ourAeci .y the iuquo§t jpr that purpog rHE SUN, LONOOB.

The Queen drove to Alt-na-Guithasach wit! Priucess Christian, attended by the Marchioness o Ely. Prince Christian went out for a drive of deer in Colonel Farquharson's woods at Invercauld. Prince Leopold, accompanied by Mr. Duckworth, went to Glen Ey. Sir Stafford Northcote has left Balmoral. The accounts received of Prince Arthur are most favourable ; the fever has entirely subsided. MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN, M.P., ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS. Mr. Hugessen, M.P. for the united boroughs of Sandwich, Deal, and WTalmer, on Friday night ad dressed his constituents at considerable length on the various public topics of the day. II e commenced by referring to the great question of reform, which bad occupied so much of the attention of Parliament during the last session. He saw a great disposition on the part of the organs of the present Govern ment to claim to themselves a great deal of merit for passing the Reform Bill, and for the consistency with which they had advocated the cause of Reform, and he would therefore place before his audience a simple view of this question. No candid man could deny that after the settlement of the question in 1832 the Tory party con tinued their opposition to any further reduction of the franchise, and Mr. Disraeli, in 1865, in his manifesto to the electors of Buckinghamshire, said that the bill of Lord Derby had been defeated, on the ground that no extension of the suffrage would be sufficient which did not involve a lowering of the franchise in boroughs. In that state of things Lord Derby advised an appeal to the country, and, Rot having obtained a majority, resigned office, and an administration was formed pledged to a lowering of the borough franchise. During the last six years the efforts of the Tory party had been neither insig nificant nor fruitless. The only principle on which they had proposed to extend the borough franchise was that of fancy qualifications, which they threw over this year without even a debate. Lord Derby declared that he would no longer remain as a more stop-gap, and preferred taking a leap in the dark. (Laughter.) Lord Russell's Government had resigned because they could not carry a Reform Bill in accordance with the prin ciples which they professed. Lord Derby's Go vernment retained office by consenting to a Reform Bill at variance with all their former principles. (Hear, hear.) When ho saw the present Govern ment making a claim to a character for consistency, it only proved the truth of the old saying that men were most desirous of having attributed to them the virtues of which they were most deficient. It was then owing to the efforts of the Liberal party that the country had at last obtained a Reform Bill, and it was their efforts that had rendered it much more liberal than it would otherwise have been. (Cheers.) The chief credit to which the Conser vatives were entitled was their not having allowed any predilections for old opinions to stand in the way of attempting to settle the question of Reform. (Cheers.) He contended that having obtained office in the manner they had done, by the profession of certain principles, their conduct in carrying a Reform Bill had struck a blow at the confidence which the English people reposed in the political morality of their public men, which was fraught with most serious evil. (Cheers.) But still there was a general feeling among the Liberal party to condone the offence on account of the mag nitude of the boon which had been conferred upon the country. (Hear, hear.) So far as he was concerned, he would rather have gone by more gradual ways to that household suffrage to which he had always looked as a resting-place, and be much regretted that the personal payment of rates had been mixed up with the measure. (Hear, hear.) He believed the Small Tenements Act to be of great practical utility, and that their abroga tion would cause much annoyance and inconvenience. He regretted that the basis on which the franchise had been settled rendered a speedy renewal of agita tion absolutely inevitable. The Government had made it their boast that they had done better than the Whigs, by settling the question on the broad principle of the personal payment of rates ; but he did not see how, with that settlement in boroughs, a £l2 rating limit could be maintained in counties. The vacillating conduct of the Government through out had shown that they were made of very squeez able materials—they had encouraged the agitation which they deprecated, and only whetted the in satiable appetite of the democracy. When Mr. Gladstone was defeated in April, he declared that he would not initiate any more vital amendments to the bill, and there was a tacit understanding among those who sat with him on the front opposition bench that they would follow his example to avoid the appearance of any factious opposition, and thus it happened that some amendments, which would have come better from Mr. Gladstone or his colleagues, fell into other hands. An amendment disfranchising all boroughs with a population under 5,000 was rejected, and but for that rejection, and had the door been opened, he (Mr. Hugessen) would have proposed a larger scheme, dealing with 90 or 100 seats, by taking away a member from every borough with a population below 12,000, and disfranchising all boroughs with a population of less than 7,000. The scheme he then shadowed forth was now entirely endorsed by the leaders of the Liberal party, who acknowledged it as one of the main objects for which the Liberal party would now almost immediately have to strive. (Cheers.) Turn ing next to the representation of minorities, he con sidered that that was by no means a party question, though it was, generally speaking, imperfectly understood. He supported the proposal, because, in a constituency of 100,000 having a third mem ber given to it on account of its importance, and where there might be 60,000 of one party and 40,000 of another, it was obviously unfair to allow the 60,000 to return all the members, as in that case the existence of the 40,000 would only be made to tell against themselves, and to add to the political importance of their opponents. It was said minori ties were already represented in the small boroughs, but that argument ceded the principle that mino rities ought to be represented somewhere, and if that were so it was surely better to represent them directly than indirectly. Mr. Bright had accused those who supported the scheme of desiring to aim a blow at the power of the large towns, but that was absurd, inasmuch as the great majority of the con stituencies affected would be county, and not borough constituencies. Mr. Bright recommended them not to deviate from the old lines of the constitution ; but would Mr. Bright say the same with regard to the laws of primogeniture, church rates, the privileges of the peers, and all questions affecting land ? If he were to oppose Mr. Bright on that ground, the hon. gentleman would tell him that he was showing a foolish and servile deference to an obsolete tradition. Such an argument, appealing only to prejudice and ignorance, was not worthy of Mr. Bright's high position, and he protested against the manner in which the hon. gentleman and his school of politi cians treated matters of this kind. Directly any one differed from them lie was branded as a Tory and a heretic. This style of rebuke was an impor tation from a Transatlantic democracy, and he (Mr. Hugessen) as an English gentleman war; not pre pared to submit to it. He admitted the obligations of party, and was ready and anxious to agree with Mr. Gladstone on most questions, but he would never pledge himself implicitly to follow anyindi vidual. (Cheers.) With regard to the futiure, he looked with perfect confidence upon it, feeling satis fied that the good sense of the English people would keep the yeml of the State geed order. Ile had always been in favour of a large extension of the franchise, and did not regret what had passed, if it did not exercise a baneful influence on the political future. Questions of immense importance must soon come under discussion. Let them bring to the discussion of these questions the spirit of generous and mutual forbearance. Having referred to the important question of education, and to the relative position of capital and labour, the hon. member said that the relations between church and state must be revised before long. The Church of England should be kept free from ecclesiastical arrogance and senseless innovation. The establish ment in Ireland, however, was an insult to the religion of the majority of the country, an injury to Protestantism, and a source of weaktiess to Eng land ; but, in dealing with it as it must soon be dealt with, he was strongly opposel to the endow ment of any religious body. (Cheers.) The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to Mr. Ilugessen. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Sharet Railways. 'Bristol and'Exeter ....

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to this morning's market was only moderate, but in fair average condition. At the commencement of business factors de manded an advance in the quotations compared with Mon day last of from 4s to es per quarter. Although the trade was very quiet, most descriptions sold at fully 4s per quar ter more money. In some instances the rise was equal to 5s per quarter. There was an improved inquiry for foreign wheat, the value of which improved on the arerago of 49. per quarter. The supply was tolerably good. Floating cargoes of grain were hell for a considerable ad vance. The supply of English barley NrtlS very limited, of foreign slightly on the increase. Tho demand for all kinds ruled steady at an improvement in value of from is. to 2s. per quarter. We have to report a slow :sale for malt; nevertheless, lato rates were supported. The supply was only moderate• Oats moved off freely at Is. per quarter above the rates current on this day se'ennight. The show of foreign. was tolerably good. Beaus were fully is. per quarter higher, with a moderato demand. The sale for peas ruled steady, at quite 10. per quarto: above previous rates. There was some inquiry for rye, at 465. per quarter. Indian corn was very firm in price. Both English and foreign flour sold on lighter terms. Seeds generally were inactive, at last week's quotations. No change took place in the value of cakes.

Sales progressed heavily at depressed currencies. • The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were rather on the increase, and the quality of most breeds was good. The attendance of butchers was rather limited, hence the demand was is a sluggish state at, compared with Monday last, a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81b. The highest figure was 4s 101 b per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,900 short horns ; from other parts of England 750 various breeds; from Scotland 4 Scots; and from Ireland 160 oxen, cows, &c. We wore tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep. The trade was heavy, and prices further de clined 2d. per 81bs. The best Downs and half brads changed hands at 4s. Bd. per Sibs.

Julius won the flesarewitch like a race horse. Blink hoolie is an overrated animal ; indeed, I feel persuaded, over a distance of ground, he is not within 2st of the win ner. Westwick's forward running caused great surprise, but the simple fact is, he did what three parts of the field had not the slightest pretension to, and that was to stay over this severe course. Armourer was the acme of con- dition, and over a shorter course is sure to figure canspi cuously, as he ran fast to the Bushes. But should William Day have a better representative over the Cam bridgeshire Stakes, ho will take an immense amount of beating. Rodomonte (4 yrs, Tat), is highly spoken of in connection with that stable, and on his two year old form would certainly be about winning, as he several times beat some of the best horses of his year. The handicap run last week usually furnishes the winner, and frequently first favourite, for the Cambridgeshire Stakes, but I ques tion if it will do either one or the other this time. There have been several fresh animals brought into the market lately, and one or two of them are likely to figure conspicuously, not only in the betting but also in the actual race. I allude to Wroughton and Knight of the Garter. The former was backed for a good deal of money on Saturday down to 14 to 1, and as when in his best form he and Vauban are the same class he looks with his impost of 7st 31b excessively dangerous. Knight of the Garter is also a great horse over this short course, but both well at the post, I think he is bound to succumb with 111 b. more on his back toMr. Cartwright's representa tive. Reports of the most flattering nature also reach me concerning Ammunition, 4 yrs old, turned loose with the ridiculous weight of sst 71b, which, however, is only on a par with her performances. Many startling changes may be expected during the week, but I hope on Monday next to be in a position to recommend some good things ' for the last meeting this year at headquarters. Mean- while, as I cannot believe the owner of Friponnier will throw such an opportunity away, an investment on him appears to me the bast your subscribers could possibly make at this timo of writing. The result of the Middle Park Plate quite upset my cal culations, as, although it will be perceived I entirely ig nored the pretensions of Lady Elizabeth in consequence of her penalty, and went for Blue Gown and The Earl, I was not fortunate in having a start with either, though, extraordinary to say, the owner of the former, Sir Joseph Hawley, who preferred to start Green Sleeve (allowed 31b) and Rosicrucian, ran first and second. Sir Joseph's other representative had, however, incurred4lb. penalty by win ing the Mearwoll Stakes the day previously, and I would strongly advise your subscribers to take advantage" of the furore in favour of the Middle Park pair, to back Blue Gown for next year's Derby. I am quite satisfied that before Doncaster Rosicrucian was not within 101 b. of him, and I do not believe in the latter having made such a wonderful improvement in so short a time. As regards the winner of this rich prize, had the weights been re versed between Lady Elizabeth and her I do not think she would have been in the first six, and it appears to me that those parties who were lucky enough to back her would not be so much impressed with her quality if a match were to take place at even weights, as I believe the Marquis of Hast ings's wonderful filly would beat her in a canter. Public form vindicates itself nine times out of ten, and judged by that, apart from other private information I may possess, there is no doubt on my mind Blue Gown will always beat both her stable companions whenever they meet. The Cheltenham Meeting takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday next under the usual aristocratic patronage. The Gloucester Stakes looks a good thing for STEAMBOAT, who won it giving 61b to E igba,stott last year. LAURA ought also to win the Cleave Hill Plate on the first day, and VEDA the Hamilton Stakes. On Wednesday, I think, the County Cup rests between STEAMBOAT and BANDMASTER, but should Lord Coventry's horse hare incurred a penalty for winning previously, 1 prefer the last named. LILY and THE RETURNED read best for the Nursery Handicap. THE RETURNED should also give a good account of himself in the Prestbury Stakes. Hereford and Riling Races will wind up tho waek's sport on Thursday and Friday next, but I cannot make any suggestion respecting tho latter meeting, as I have no idea what animals are likely to start, and the same re mark will apply to the Royal Caledonian Haut Meeting which is announced for this week. As, I presume, PEARL DIVER or Moose will be sent for the Herefordshire Stakes, I shall look no farther for the winner. The Nursery Handicap TRIANA or OSPREY sight win. QUEEN OF Times ought to have no diffi culty in securing Lord Bateman's Plate, and HONEYMOON the Shobdon Cup. On Friday in the City Members' Plate 1 see nothing to beat PROBLEM or VENI, and if anything defeats VEDA for the Lugwardine Nursery Plate it will be Oork Jhcket, who meets hor on 171 b better terms, as she has to carry 101 b extra, and he is allowed 71b. The other races I know nothing about. A FRESH MAN. From the Newmarket Correspondent of the Racing Times. The curtain has fallen on the Second October Meeting, and never in my recollection was so short a price quoted as 7 to 4 for the Cesarewitch Stakes before. However, that price was taken about Blinkhoolie, who was a tre mendous favourite with the general public, and was also looked upon as a certainty by some of the bast judges, ono of whom, Captain Macholl, at any rate should not have made such a mistake in his trial. Every week and every great handicap proves what has been so often asserted by me in these columns, that the handicap horses of the pre sent year are the worst ever foaled, and a convincing proof was furnished of this fact when Julius cantered in with 8 stone on his back for the principal event last week. They must indeed have been an indifferent lot behind him. I told your readers not to back Honesty when he was at 10 to 1, though to my surprise he came to half the price afterwards, and even then was recommended by sundry sporting writers as .a good investment. Nearly every horse in the race was selected by some of the prophets to be worth backing, but how can backers win when they invest on so many ? I only recommended four to be backed, Blinkhoolie, Julius, Lothario, and Mont goubert, and had the Baron's horse kept well there can be very little doubt he would have been nearer the winner than Westwick, as it must be admitted he was superior, according to public form, to Mr. Bowes's horse. Turf writers generally follow the money, and not the merits of the horses, and as I remarked in my article on the Monday before the race had Mat Dawson recommended Clarice to bo backed he would have been as good a favourite. One of Honesty's warmest supporters tells us in his article on Thursday last that the most remarkable thing was the forward position he held in the race, and had he not fallen lame from the favourable trial he had with the Duke of Newcastle's horse he must have won. Now, the fact is, he never was tried with Julius, indeed was as sound on the day of the race as ever he was in his life. Ho had a rough gallop with the winner before the latter went to Doncaster to run for the St. Leger, and pleased his trainer so much that he thought he had a good horse, but he found out ho had made $ mistake, and had to fall back on Julius. I saw Sweet Anne beat Honesty in a gallop on the Limo Kilns about a week before the race, and was quite satisfied he had no chance of winning. The remarks I have alluded to respecting his trial and forward running in the Cesarewitch will doubtless assist in mak ing him a favourite for the Cambridgeshire, but I strongly advise him to be left alone, and let those back him who write him up as a good horse. I have a bettor opinion of the animals engaged in the great event next week to be- Here he is at all likely to get a plisse ; if and he does, those behind him must be a wretched lot. Still there are strong symptoms of his being an equally great favourite this journey. The racing of Monday does not call for any special remarks. Three very moderate animals contested the Sweepstakes of 50 sous each, and the betting was, in accordance with my anticipation last week, 6 to A on the field. Lady Hester was backed to win a great stake, and some of the backers of Lord Ro nald for the Groat Eastern Railway Handicap, whose number it will be recollected was taken down at the last moment, in consequence, it was stated at the time, of the short price offird against him by the bookmakers, were not sorry to see her noble owner's investments upset. Leanio was made a great favourite for the £lOO Plato, but was easily defeated by Suffolk. The in and out running of the Baron's colt is most extraordinary, as The Earl beat him in a canter at the First October Meeting, and ho was never in the race for the Prendergast Stakes on Friday last. No trainer pays more attention to his business than Joseph Hayhoe ; but somehow, as a rule, the King Toms disappoint their owner, trainer, and backers. I think a good deal of this arises from their possessing a delicate constitution and not often being up to the mark. Such horses must give their trainers a great deal of trouble, and likewise leave suspecting backers imaginary cause of com plaint ; but I am quite sure all those parties acquainted with Mr.llayhoe are well aware that he does all in his power to bring his horses fit to the post, and as fat as he, the VfaCri Wad jockey are maC9rincli toy PaTfay4 Wiyo tvn honest run for their money. Lothario most certainly fell lame on Saturday week, after a splendid trial with Dales man, and it must have been a great disappointment to the Baron and his trainer, after having the Cesarewitch almost within their grasp, as Lothario's chance was second to none had he kept well. Odds of two to one were laid on La Belle Jeanne for the Rectory Stakes, but I was correct when I told your readers last week she was out of all form and could not beat Puff. Nothing was talked of on Tuesday except tho Cesare witch, and other sporting writers having worn the sub ject quite threadbare, it will not be interesting toyour readers for me to tell them the oft told tale over again. All the touts and prophets have now found out that Julius is the most improved horse in England, and that Honesty's hocks bore the marks of having been blistered. Why did they not say so before the race, instead of stuffing the ears of men with false reports about ho was trisd with Julius, sad that Mat Dawsou said he could not loss, and a lot of similar rubbish. I told your readers the week after Goodwood that Julius was. the most improved horse running, and recemmencled him fora place in the St. Leger; and I stated after Doncaster that Daley could havo been second, but was told not to be there, as he would incur a penalty cf slbs. for the Cusarewitch and Cambridgeshire, and when he was at 50 to 1 for both races I recommended him as a good investment. Julius is about the second or third best horse we have seen this year; but I think all those behind him are only moderate. Still I believe, with a stronger boy on him, Blinkhoolie will show to more advantage in the Cambridgeshire. The Middle Park Plato, on Wednesday,' brought out the best lot of two-year-olds I have seen for some years. The backers of Lady Elizabeth and Lady Coventry got a regular facer, which they wont forget for some time. I can't help thinking that, had the ground been in better order, Lady Elizabeth would have been nearer the winner, if not quite have landed, as I am told, she slipped once or twice in the race. Her performance in the match with Julius is without precedent—the game struggle she made, at a difference only of 91b., upsets all calculation of handicapping two and three year olds. Should she keep well until the Derby day, and be brought fit to the post, he will be a most fortunate man that can find one to beat her; yet I am under the impression had Daley made more use of Julius he must have won, as he seemed to have the race' in 'hand at the Bushes when he turned round to look at Fordham. In my opinion ho ought to have ridden his horse from start to finish. The Oatlands Plato brought out 13 runners, and one would have thought from the betting that Viridis was only out for an airing, as she started at long odds and no takers. There is sure to bo some brisk betting on the Cambridge shire during the present week. lam told to-day that Honesty is first favourite again, but I shall not stand on him, nor anything else that aru in the Cesarewitch. Surely there must be some better horses in England than we have seen run lately. I hope to be able to select the Winner from one or two outsiders tleit.we have here. My present fancy is for the Duke of York or Lenore; as the best in vestment at their present prices; but should Mr. Pryor make up his mind to run Friponnier, I should stand on him in preference to anything in the race, as I have not seen anything but Achievement this year that can make hiin gallop, and should strongly advise your readers to be on should they see him backed by the right party, for ho is . sure to start at 2 to 1 if he runs. 111111t1) EDITION.

The heavy settling on the past Newmarket events principally occupied the attention of members, who as sembled in strong force. Some little speculation took place on the Cambridgeshire, for which event Honesty re mained first, finishing in fair request at 8 to 1, acceptod in hundreds. Julius, Friponuier, Wroughton, and Abtlea, were each in good request, while despite Knight of the Garter being supported to win some thousands, Blink hoolie, his stable companion, found a backer who accepted 1000 to 30, and would have gone on at the price. The prices are appended. CAMBEIDGESIIMB.

THE EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE AT WOOL.. wicH.LThis morning an inquiry was held at Woolwich into the circumstances of the explosion in No. 6 shed of the lower laboratory in Woolwich Arsenal, by which Henry Thomas Webb, aged 14 years, and three other lads, named John Pigge, Charles Newby, and James O'Calla ghan, lost their lives. The jury, having been sworn, pro ceeded to view the remains. Upon their return the coroner adjourned the inquest. MR. CHARLES DICKENS is spoken of, we observe, in the London Review, as " still rather lame from his accident"—he having had no accident whatever, and being about as vigorous and light of foot as a chamois hunter in perfectly sound condition. Our contemporary acids—a little more correctly, however, when speaking of Mr. Dickens's proposed voyage to America—that " he does not sail froin our shores till the 9th of next month." Tho London Review adding thereupon " Those who know America prophesy that he will have a great reception in the southern and eastern cities, and also in the Athens of America—Boston. But in New York it may be that the Yankee-Irish press may get up some little anti-Eng lish demonstration, basing it upon the too truthful re presentations of Scadder, Pogram, the war correspon dent of the New York Stabber, and other characters in Martin Chuzzlewit,' and curtain representations in American Notes.' However, it is but fair to say tha true Americans thank the great author for the lesson h gave them; and the utter truth to nature—American nature that is—of the portraits drawn. Surely liberty must be a mockery if he who paints so truly be blamed for his truth. The Americans are loud of talking about General Washington. Let them imitate a greater general and a more ardent Republican—General Cromwell, who dared to say, Paint me as lam ; paint me with my warts, It was not a hero but a woman who desired to be drawn without a shadow to her faoe."
