SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. THE STEPNEY MURDER INQUEST-(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. John Humphreys, coroner, held an in quiry at the Rising Sun Tavern, Sydney-street, Stepney, touching the death of Mrs. Sarah Redhead, aged 51 years, who wasmurdered last Monday afternoon. The first witness called was Mary Ann Morriss, who deposed that she lived at No. 80, S ydney -street, Stepney. The deceased and her stepson lived in the same house. Mrs. Redhead was the wife of the steward of a steamer coming from China She had been married to her husband 12 months. On Sunday last Wm. Redhead remained at home in his room all day. He kept the blinds down until 7 o'clock in the evening. Coroner—The stepson was a Volunteer?—Yes, sir. Coroner-- And he was in the habit of keeping his rifle at at home with him ?—Yes. Coroner—What happened on Monday ? Witness—At half -past two o'clock I was on the landing, and I heard the report of firearms. I then saw smoke from gunpowder aseending up the stairs. I became alarmed, and I ran into teY room and locked myself in. I then called out to the People in the street. I did not hear any words spoken be fore the shot was fired. BY a Juror--I do not know that the reason why Redhead did not go out on Sunday was that he had no money. He was employed at a wine merchant's at 14s a week. On last Priday he was too late for his pay, and ho did not get it. Ellen Redhead, 190, Piccadilly, the sister of the accused, deposed that her father was named James Redhead. Coroner - Do you know of your own knowledge how your stepmother and William Redhead got on together ? —No ; I live away from home ; but she was very cruel to William about food. Coroner —He was iu receipt of money, and he could have bought his uwn. Mr. Philip Norriss Page, 16, Cambridge-road, Mile-end, deposed that he was sergeant of the 7th Tower Hamlets. On Saturday la,t he was going in for the second-class examination so as to get the extra Uove,rnmont grant. Coroner.—How much is that?-10s. a year. Coroner--Did ho fail ?—Yes ; he came to the butts at Woodford, and he was served out 20 rounds. After he was done firing I asked him if he had any cartridges left, and ho gave me three. I did not think that ho bad any others in his pouch at that time. Anne Brighton, 80, Sydney-street, a lodger in the house Where the murder was committed, stated that Mrs. Redhead had told her that her son had pawned his clothes. He said he could not go out on Sunday because his good clothes Were gone. By a Juror—l saw Redhead running away from the house on Monday after he shot the deceased. The Juror—Did you ever see food carried into the pri soner by his mother-in-law. —No ? The Juror —Do you think that he was without the usual stimulus of drink on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday ? Coroner—How car she tell. He might have got drunk for all she knows. Dr. R. Y. Sawyer deposed that on the left side of the de ceased he found a small bullet hole. The bullet had gone th rough her body, and had emerged underneath, the nipple °f her right breast. The ball had fractured the tenth rib on t he right hand side. The ball had lacerated the heart and caused instant death. Witness found two shillings tied in a r ag round her neck. Police-Constable William Smith, 556 K, said that on Monday last, at a quarter to 3 o'clock, he was on duty in Raiford street, Stepney, when he SAW William Redhead 41 "aing down the street. He had a rifle iu his hand. He Cried out, "I have done it." " What have you done?" said Witness and Redhead replied, " I have shot my mother-in lay?, end after I did it I set the house on fire." He then took him to the station-house at Aibour-square, where he was searched, and ball cartridges and caps were found on him. The rifle had recently been fired off. Police-constable Turner, 436 K, said that he bad found t he ball produced on the landing in the house No. 80, Sydney street. The ball had, after it had passed through the 'woman's body, entered the wall, and made a hole 2i inches in depth in it. The Coroner said that he would not take up the time of the jury by reading over the depositions taken. The f acts were simple. The prisoner, Redhead, had shot his • M other-in-law. A Juror— Cannot one make it manslaughter ? C oroner—lt was not done in the heat of blood ; it is therefore murder. Another Juror—Why did the prisoner try to burn the head down ? _ . Coroner—lf the house had been burnt down and Red house had escaped, it would have been very difficult to prove the cause of death. Three Jurors—We think that the case is one of man slaughter. We have no evidence of malice on the part of the accused. C oroner—You cannot tell what was passing in his mind at the time he committed the crime. After a very animated discussion the ju y returned a ver dict of " Wilful murder" against William Redhead for Maliciously shooting Sarah Redhead. The warrant was then issued for the trial of the accused. THE CHARGE AGAINST SUSPECTED FENIANS IN LONDON. This morning, at the Marylebone Police Court, the two I nert, Davitt and Wilson, charged with treason felony, and b eing membera of the Fenian Brotherhood, were again b rought up before Mr. D'Eyncourt. They were conveyed from the House of Detention in the prison van, strongly guarded by police armed with revolvers and cutlasses, and, as there was an immense crowd round the entrance of the court, an adequate force was present by way °f precaution. Evidence was given to show the acquaint ance of the prisoners with each other, their complicity in removing rifles, revolvers, and ammunition from Birming bata to Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, &c. Davitt was also sworn to by Corydon, the informer, as having been Present at Fenian meetings in Liverpool when the raid on Ilhester Castle was discussed, and also the projected ising In Ireland. Inspector Henderson was examined at length by Mr. Poland, He stated that he watched the Globe Parcels ° Mee at Manchester, and following a box which he saw ta ken away to the house of Georghegan, but afterwards it Went further on, and then he seized the box, and f ound it to contain foul packages, each containing 100 rounds of Boxer ammunition, and five other Packages containing 1,100 rLvolver cartridges. On the S ame day be searched Georghegan's house, and found there three new revolvers, which Georghegan said did not belong t° h im , There was a mark of " No. 12" on them. John Knapp, another detective, proved seeing four or fiv e empty barrels brought to Jackson's warehouse, and be saw the same barrels removed to the railway station. He Saw Davitt hand the warehouseman who wheeled the things awa y a piece of paper. M ary Murphy identified Davitt as one of the men she saw with a box at the railway station on the 28th of March. Su perintendent Hunt said he went to the railway station and saw the barrel in question. It was addressed, "John Flaherty„ some place in Ireland. By his directions the cask w as opened, and it was found to contain two packets of ammunition, nine rifles, nine bayonets, and some revolvers. ' la ving taken one of the revolvers the cask was refastened and sent on to the address. He also received information relative to two more casks, which he removed to the Town gall. 'they had had been returned to Ireland, although one no address. He believed neither of the casks and been c l a i med. They were now to b e h a d if J .3' Person applied for them. They were addressed for Rend erson, commission agent, Leeds, but from inquiries e had made no such person was to be found. Za ccheus Thorn, the manager of the Midland station, pro ved that the prisoner Wilson fetched away a box that isle From Birmingham on the 26th of March, and was belled " John Wilson, Midland Goods Station, Leeds." He also signed the delivery order. It was a case 4 ft. long, and weighed 2f cwt.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES—(THis DAY). A fire, attended with au immense loss of property, took place this morning on the premises of Mr. Bartrop, corn merchant, Vine-street, Bloomsbury, close to Tanquarey's distillery and Ryder's tobacco manufactory. Fortunately the fire was confined to the corn stores, but it was not extinguished until several of the floors and roof had been destroyed. Another fire, attended with still greater loss of property than the above, occurred at an ostrich feather factory in Cross-street, Finsbury. The upper part of the extensive premises were completely destroyed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE DERBY DAY, 1870. Although the morning was ushered in ominously, with fog, and murky clouds, the weather for the Derby could not in the early part of Wednesday have been more satisfactory. There was no blinding sun, or, indeed, sun of any kind, and the thousands of veils on the men's hats, and blue dimity curtains to the hansoms, were useless as far as the brightness of the heavens, and its effects on human beings was concerned. Certainly they kept off the dust, but a strong breeze made them rather more tantalising than pleasant in another way. The Derby stakes last year were run for on a splendid summer afternoon. At an early hour, omnibuses, carts, and drags began to leave town in large numbers, only to be followed at a later one by myriads of cabs and stately carriages. A great dis appointment was experienced last year by the absence of what was then comparatively a new conveyance—the velocipede—on the road. This year the machines were largely used, and indeed the greatest possible inconvenience was caused by them, not only to the other travellers, but also to the riders themselves. At London Bridge, Vic toria, and Waterloo Stations cheap trains, well filled, ran repeatedly from 8 o'clock, and at 10 o'clock " special fast trains" began to run, the fares for a return journey being 7s. 6d. any class. The roads, usually taken advantage of, with the exception of that through Ken nington (it being blocked up by the local authorities), seemed hardly less crowded thali ever between the hours of nine and twelve o'clock. Groups of respectable men and boys, chatting warmly As they went along, itinerant retailers of oranges, and racing cards ; ostlers, cardsharpers, and roughs—all were hastening to the course as fast as their legs would carry them, or the " c'reckt cards" and " cigar light " youngsters would allow them. The streams of waggons, omnibuses, pony chaises, and dog-carts, in the centre of the road were also as thick as ever. The Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by the King of the Belgians, with their retinue, drove down to Epsom about noon, and were much cheered by the observers, whom the royal party passed on the road. The balconies along the route from the Elephant and Castle, the Camberwell New-road, the Kennington Park and Clapham-roads were filled with ladies and children, and many were the regrets expressed by the crowd passing below that they were being left behind in quiet London, and " quiet " London was all day, if it is ever so. On the roads faces looked as bright, colours as gay, and what passes on a Derby Day for fun was as boisterous as ever. Looking at the dense crowd of spectators between the intervals of the races swarming over the Downs, or pacing the Course, and during the time of running formed in a solid phalanx on either side of the ropes, it seemed difficult to believe that there were fewer visitors at the Derby this year than in many former years, from sheer incapacity to understand where, on the occasions when they were more numerous, they could all have been stowed with the remotest chance of seeing anything. Yet that there was a thinner attendance was an opinion generally expressed by the habitués of the meeting, the correctness of which it would probably be difficult to challenge. The reason was not far to seek. Everyone—the sporting prophets included (though, they, especially after the result of their vatici nations ought hardly to count for much) thought the great race of the year was a foregone conclusion. The winner of the 2,000 Guineas, and the winner, too, in such a style, no other horse being able to come near him, was held to be such a safe card, that to doubt his chance of success was looked upon simply as heresy of the grossest and most unpardonable kind. Never since the year of West Australian has any horse within ten days of pulling off the Derby been intrusted with such heavy odds. The rush to get on him the night before the race was tremendous, and when on Wednesday he was seen cantering past the Standthe enthusiasm was still greater. Macgregor must win --such, heavily backed, was the opinion of the public. Nothing else was to be heard of, and any other horse suggested as likely to snatch the honour from him was dismissed with ignominy. This confidence in Mr Merry's selection — a confidence which the scratching of his other horses proved to have been as strong in his own mind as it was in that of the public robbed the Derby of 1870 of so much of excitement as would have tended to attract towards it a gathering of more than ordinary dimensions. The un certainty of the weather, for the morning, "got up," if such an expression may be allowed, with more than a suspicion of moisture attaching to it, had also a somewhat slightly deterrent influence. But though thus partially contracted in its pro portions, from the causes stated above, the chief race of the season was pulled off in the presence of a vast crowd—a crowd composed of the same elements of intense business and pure jollity which have always characterised it, and which have been reproduced in print ad nauseam. Frith's picture of "The Derby Day " is not for one year but for all time, for its incidents have been incidents of every Epsom Meeting for years past as they will be for years to come. The day as far as weather went was hardly worthy of the Ist of June, but then, as everybody knows, the seasons at present are sadly out of course. The wind got round to the North though it did not do much when it got there, which was a fortunate item, for blowing where it listeth, according to precedent, it has a special penchant for the Downs, and it does not require a memory very long to recall when the Derby was run in a breeze admirably adapted for yachting, but not for a horse-race. On Wednesday, if there had been much sun the slight wind that prevailed would have received a heartier welcome than it did. As it was, it made the atmosphere a little cool, and prevented the dust from remaining in that con dition of repose, so much to be admired in pulverised chalk and young children. Rain fell at Epsom early in the morning, as was discovered by the visitors who reached the place a little after noon. This first instalment was followed by a second a little later on, and just as the course was being cleared for the race of the day, a smart shower fell whichdidthe work of the police in double quick time, and caused the top ofthe Grand Stand to break out with umbrellas, which, held closely in the hands of the occupants, as they crouched down gave it the appearance of a bed of highly discoloured fungi. The shower was only transitory, and the sky was clear when the horses were saddled and paraded in the paddock. The little excitement caused by the first race, the Epsom Town Plate—the horses again and again breaking away, some of them getting half way down the half-mile before they could be pulled np—contested gamely and cleverly won by Lord Rendlesham's La Rose—served only to whet the appetite of the visitors present for the grand coup which was to follow. His Majesty the King of the Bel gians, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the Princess of Wales arrived just as the horses for the first contest, headed by the scarlet-coated official whose presence on his white charger is as familiar as the Derby dog (by-the-bye, there were three to-day, and they did the mile and a half from the corner in splendid style)—passed slowly up the course. The Royal party were, loudly cheered as they drove in a carriage and four up to the Grand Stand. The process of stripping and saddling the Derby horses is done, unless in exceptional oases, in the paddock, within the mysterious precincts of which they ceg naresepatiratdeedtake a lastfortheir owners, their friends, and t he cem fond and critical look before th e y are sent'away walking dis tance, and k gravely by ttehee a brisk a Stand to etuger back. T at the quarter-mile n rtiretre-emile horsesshewed in all their glossy beauty within the paddock, upon the palings of which those not permitted to enter the sacred pasture swarmed like so many bees. From every ele vated point whence the meadow could be over looked, lorgnettes were levelled to scan the horses recognised by the colours of their jockeys. Slowly and at regular intervals they paraded in a narrow circle , ever y p oint carefully scruti nised, every defect noted, every virtue—horses must have virtues, for we constantly hear of their vices —extolled. But where, oh where, was the Highland laddie gone ! Everyone wanted to see Macgregor, yet no one could catch sight of him. Had they only known the ter rible dilemma in which he was about to place his ardent supporters, they would probably have been ready to tear him In plooco rather than to await the moment when his owner saw fit to produce min, bo s aaet him with ringing cheers. But ignorance for the moment was bliss—the awakening must have been experienced and bitterly cursed by this time—and so when it was an nounced that the favourite was being saddled else where, as also was Kingcraft, his backers were content to exercise patience, a patience soon to be rewarded when the field of 15 came down the course in front of the Grand Stand in their preliminary canter. By then Macgregor was to the fore, with Fordham for his mount, and occupying a position on the opposite side of the course to the Stand ; he came along at a pace much slower than several of his competitors, being evidently held well in hand by his jockey. His fore legs were ban daged, and the thought occurred, no doubt, to some of those who had heavy odds upon him whether or not there was any truth in the rumour that, exceptionally good horse as he was believed to be, the descent from the corner—the crucial point of the course — would prove too much for those upright legs of his. Of all the string which came cantering down towards the winning post, not in the race, but in the preliminary canter, it was thought that Mr. Merry, having scratched Sunshine, daughter of a Derby and St. Leger winner, and said to inherit all the sterling qualities of old Alice Hawthorn on the one side and of Chanticleer on the other, and elected to win, if win he could by Macgregor. There was no very dangerous rival to fear, though Prince of Wales and Camel were by some sport ing authorities held to be horses who Would require the favourite to do about all that he knew. Many idols of the public , have been followed with loving eyes on their way to the starting-point, but it is questionable if any was ever sped thither with glances more admiring or c mfident than Macgregor. whose owner just ten yeas since won the Derby with Thormanby. As events turned out, it is rather curiousto note that one of the horses about which the least was said, as the string swept by, was the hove which was to snatch the laurels from the New market winner, and lead the black jacket with white sleeves to victory. right away up to the furze bushes with one or two excep tions—notably one in which the horse Cockney Boy stumbled and fell—the whole body of competitors kept in close proximity ; the pace was fast, and when 'Patten ham Corner was turned a scarlet jacket, that of Palmer ston's rider was seen rather too much to the front to be pleasing to the backers of the yellow, who nevertheless stuck to their choice manfully, and vowed that getting into the level Mr. Merry's horse was gaining the foremost place. One thing was clear, that Fordham Meant winning if the horse had it in him to do it. Macgregor was ridden to all appearance judiciously, and seemed to answer gamely the calls that his jockey, sparing neither whip nor spur, made upon him. But the race was not his—a fact which began to impress itself unwil lingly, but with some considerable degree of certainty, upoL his backers as the field drew near the distance. At this time French, on King craft, was lifting his horse along in first-rate style, and the scarlet of Challoner, Palmerston's rider, and the mazarine blue of Kenyon, Muster's mount, were too much in front of the yellow and black to please the backers of the favourite. Fordham, calling upon Macgregor, lessened the distance between them, and the favourite shot slightly ahead, but as he did so, and was getting to the front, he was checked by the horse on his near side, which was steered so closely to him that a cannon seemed inevitable. For an instant shut out of the field, but only an instant, Mac gregor was induced to make one more desperate effort for retrieving his honours, but it was too late. The judge's box was at hand, and French, on the far side of the course from the Stand, 'with a vigorous handling of his whip, car ried Lord Falmouth's colours past in triumph, Palmerston being close behind, and Muster next. The race finished amidst an ominous silence, as it might well do when such a firm favourite as Macgregor did not even secure a place, but was at the tail of three horses supposed to be infinitely his inferiors.

THE MORDAUNT DIVORCE CASE. Judgment was given this morning in the Warwick shire divorce case, the hearing of which, from the disclosures made in the early part of the year, created a great sensa tion. The petitioner was Sir Charles Mordaunt, who prayed for a dissolution of his marriage on the ground of his wife's alleged adultery with Viscount Cole, Sir Frederick Johnstone, and other persons unknown. When the case was set down for trial in February last the jury were only asked to give an opinion as to the sanity of Lady Mordaunt,and they eventually found she was insane when the citation was served upon her,and had continued to be in an unsound state of mind down to the day of trial. The question then raised was whether insanity is a bar to a husband's remedy, presuming his wife to have committed adultery, and the Court took time to consider its decision. Mr. Justice Keating pronounced his opinion upon the case. His lordship said that a person who was proved to be in sane, no matter whether it was' for a criminal offence that was imputed, or that of adultery, could not be put upon his trial. His opinion was that the order originally made by the Judge Ordinary should be upheld, and that so long as Lady Mordaunt continued to be insane she could not be called upon to plead. Lord Penzance, the Judge Ordinary, said—No lunatic petitioner could take proceedings to dissolve his marriage, and why then should a sane one proceed against an insane wife,and concluded by expressing his opinion that the order originally made should be affirmed, but if it was the inten tion of the petitioner to appeal against this decision to the House of Lords, then he would hoar any argument as to whether the order might be varied. The Lord Chief Baron was of opinion that the order should be varied so as to stop the proceedings for a limited period only. The order of the Judge Ordinary was therefore affirmed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) DESPERATE ASSAULT BY A SOLDIER.—Wm. Youle, a private in the Ist Battalion Grenadier Guards, was charged at the Westminster Police-court with the following violent assault : —Joseph Wye, who had to be seated while giving his evidence, said at half-past one he was. going to his home in Leader-street, Chelsea, when the prisoner, who, without any provocation struck him a violent blow on the head and rendered him insensible. He lost a great deal of blood, and his watch and chain, but he did not know whether he had left t hem with his friends.T he injured manwas picked up in the road, and the prisoner wls stopped with his belt in Lis hand, who, he said, had merely defended himself when he was attacked., He was remanded. ROBBING AN EMPLOYEI6.—Edward Tobin, errand boy to Mr. James Batsford, comb-dealer, of No. 11, Warwick-street, Regent-street, and Chatherine M'Carthey, a charman, were charged at the Marlborough-street Police-court, before Mr. Knox, with stealing some combs, the property of Mr. Buts - ford. Tobin was seen yesterday to leave his employer's shop and meet the prisoner M'Carthey at the corner of Marshall-street, St. James's, and he banded her a white paper parcel containing some combs, and they were afterwards given into custody. On showing the combs to Mr. Batsford he identified them as kis property, and of the value of 7s. The prisoners were committed for trial. CHARGE OF ADMINISTERING A NOXIOUS DRUG TO A FEMALE. Mr Woolrych resumed an important investigation to-day at the Thames Police-court arising out of a very serious charge made against William Harding, aged 59, of administering a noxious drug to a married woman named Isabella Tuson, better known as Miss George, of the Alhambra Theatre and Music Hall, Shoreditch, with intent, d:c. The unfortunate woman a few days since gave birth to a child at her dwelling, No. 28, John-street, Stepney, and died immediately afterwards. The child was prematurely born dead. The evidence only went to show the sudden illness and death of the unfortunate woman, and that the prisoner had ♦isited her several times shortly before her death, and that in her dying agony she took his hand, pressed it, and put it on her chest. A large quantity of brandy was administered to the deceased on the day she expired. The prisoner, when she was dying, said, "You have left it too late; you should have sent to me before." When the poor creature died he said he should return, and left the house, He never called afterwards. He was seen in the Alhambra Theatre while "Miss George" was per forming. The deceased bad been long separated from her husband. John Cook, a detective of the K division, appre hended the prisoner inWi n dsor-terrace, City-road, on Tuesday night. The prisoner was described as a retir3d medical prac titioner. He told him the charge, and he said nothing in reply. Evidence was given of the ♦isits of the deceased to the pri soner at his house and to his visiting her at her dwelling ; and that the deceased said to a Mrs Mitchell, after one of her visits to the prisoner, in allusion to her pregnancy, "Oh, it will be stopped ;" and it is believed she was then taking some deleterious drug. Miss Laura Stevens, whose profes sional nom de guerre is Madame Lorenzya, said she was a performer at the Alhambra, and deposed to the visits of the prisoner to the deceased. Mr Stoddart, solicitor for the pri soner, maintained there was not a tittle of evidence to im plicate the prisoner in any immorality or criminality what ever. Cook, the detective, produced three powders he found in the room where the woman died, and a Dr Mahoney, who saw the body after death, thought there was something suspicious in them. Mr Woolrych: That amounts to nothing at all. The case was proceeding when this report was despatched. The Right Hon. B. Disraeli and the Viscountess Beaconsfield have left Grosvenor-gate for Hughenden Manor, Bucks. ST.

P. Cook and others. TERRIFIC HAILSTORM IN AMERICA.—On Sunday, May Bth, Philadelphia was visited by one of the most remarkable storms on record. The season for thunder showers in this section is beginning, and about two o'clock one was observed approaching from the south-west. The temperature was about 70 deg. Fahrenheit. As the storm came up it met with an adverse air current from the north east; and shortly afterwards another from the north-west, so that for several moments the clouds hung in suspense over the city, but could be seen in most violent commotion. At 2,15 p.m. the north weste►a current gained the mastery, and the storm began moving in a south easterly direction, while five minutes later rain began to fall. This soon turned to hail ; and the hailstones, at first small, soon came as large as walnuts and hens' eggs, and in enormous numbers. For 15 minutes Philadelphia was treated to a terrific fusillade of these huge hailstones, which made sad havoc among window-panes, skylights, hot-houses, and conservatories. Fruit trees and shrubbery windows exposed to the north western wind were completely riddled, while the streets were strewn with broken glass, hailstones, leaves, shingles, and rubbish of all kinds. The storm, which began sud denly, ended asjquietly at 2.25 p.m., but in that time had broken half the windows in tho city, and caused at least 500,000 dollars damage. Horses took fright from the pitiless pelting, and many persons were injured, while one man died from fright. The average size of the hailstones was Jim, to 2in. in diameter, while one is reported that was 11in. in circumference, and weighed 7oz. They were beautifully formed, being conglomerations of smaller hail stones frozen together. Only the thickest and heaviest glass could withstand the storm, and the windows after it pre sented a most dilapidated appearance. Window glass is at a premium, while glaziers are in demand and everywhere the chief business progressing is putting in new window panes. The storm did not extend over a very wide section, and seems to have spent its fury on this city. The heaviest da mage was done to the large and valuable windows of churches and to the glass rots of onservatories. THE RACE. The start was effected with some little difficult, and with a great amount of delay, but as far as could be sewn from the winning post was a level 00. The field got off in capital style, and in a compact phalanx.

LATEST BETTING ON THE CO URSE. OAKS. 6 to 4 agst Sunshine (taken and offered) ANTICIPATIONS FOR THE OAKS. Since the scratching of Sunshine for the Derby the betting in favour of the filly's chances has considerably increased, and seeing that two splendid cracks, Hester and Sunshine will probably have a thorough struggle for a win, interest in the race has become intense. The field will probably be made up not much larger than follows : SIRE. DAM. RIDER. Hester Thormanby Tomyris.. .... J. Grirnshaw Sunshine Thormanby Sunbeam Snowden Pat S.. . Macaroni.. Songstress Marsh *Sister to Tomato King Tom Mincemeat Maidment Dark C10ud...... Cavendish Maid of the Mist Those marked * are doubtful runners. Bell's Life says it seems to be considered that the race will be confined to the three alone that stand first in the above list. Hester (it says) we recently saw win the One Thousand C4llineas Stakes in very hollow style, and on that occasion the filly displayed a fine turn of speed, and outstayed her field in a style that betokened her ability to get a distance. Since that time there is e very reason to believe that she has done well, and her party are most sanguine of success. Sunshine is now head and head with Hester in the quotations. Pats seems bound to get a place now that Mahonla is amiss. Had the last-named kept well we should certainly have coupled her with Hester, but she is unfortunately cough ing, and it is, perhaps, doubtful whether Baron Rothschild will have a representative at all. Pate is a very smart and clever filly, and although it was the fashion up to a certain time t, say that speed, and speed only was her forte, it has been manifested that she is not without staying powers. In our opinion she is, however, scarcely up to the class of the other two, far as she may be ex pected to beat all the remainder that run, although Dark Cloud is fancied in the north. The struggle between Hester and Sunshine may be a sharp one, but knowing Hester to be in form, and remembering that Sunshine has not been raced since the Middle Park Plate, the New market filly must have the preference. The prophet of the Sportsman says :—" I must confess that the bold front presented by my old favourite, Sun shine, makes me very uneasy about the fate of my Satur day's selection, Hester, for I find that so far from being only half trained, as was currently reported, Mr. Merry's filly is in brilliant condition." ITALY. FLORENCE, May 31. According to the Italie of to-day a band of refugees, under Nathair. left Lugano on the 29th for Casino.
