The amount of business doing in wheat in most of the provincial markets held on Saturday was rathor limited. In prices, however, very little change took place. There was a good sale for barley, at fall quotations; bat mo st other articles met a dull inquiry. Advices from New York to the 13th inst. state that the demand for bread stuffs was inacti7e, and that prices had a downward tendency. The continental markets continue dull. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market, last week. From abroad, the imports were 33,654 quarters of wheat, 6,827 barley, 37,333 oats, 4,570 beans, 601 peas, 5 linseed, no sundry seeds, and 1,550 sacks of flour. The fresh arrivals of English wheat up to our market to-day were moderate for the time of year, and the show of samples of both red and white was seasonably good. The attendance of buyers was far from extensive, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was far from active ; nevertheless a fair amount of business was transacted at last Monday's quotations. The general con dition of the samples was good. _ _ We were well supplied with nearly all descriptions of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary. Good heavy samples sold to a moderate extent at full quotations. In low and damp parcels only a limited business was transacted, yet we have no notice to change in prices. All floating cargoes were steady, and in the sales ef fected full prices were realised. - Tho show of both English and foreign barley was but moderate. On the whole, the barley trade ruled firm, and last week's quotations wore readily supported. Malt—the supply of which was moderate—sold slowly on former terms. The imports of foreign oats having been very extensive, the oat trade ruled dull, and some low qualities changed hands at 6d per quarter less money compared with Mon day last. • Beans, owing to the steady influx from Egypt, were dull, and prices were the turn lower. In peas very little was doing, at barely stationary prices. We had a moderate sale for flour, at last week's currency. CURRENCY PER. IMPERIAL mEA.suaE.

Lambs. Calves. Pigs 10 ... L IT ER A T UR E. RICHARD DOYLE. Th 3 Foreign Tour of Messrs. Brown, Tones, and Robinson. By Richard Doyle. Bradbury and Evans. It has so happened that Mr. Punch has wilfully deprived himself within the last few years of two among his most distingu:shed contributors—the one pictorial, the other literary—one withdrawing in consequence of his (Mr. P.'s) religious into lerance, the other in consequence pt his implacable persistence in certain perverse political vitupera tions. Everybody respected the conscientious scruples which compelled Mr. Doyle, in 1850, to throw up a popular and lucrative pcsition on the establishment of the gentleman with the "little dor sal irregularity," the fraqtious infant, the shrewish wife, and the uproarious neighbour. None of us could fail to recognise, of course, its obvious and complete disinterestedness. There was something manifestly chivalric, moreover, in the incident, transpiring as it did in the midst of a very formi dable display of national infuriation. It was felt by the majority of impartial observers to be but reasonable that our artist should have some scruple in continuing to associate his name with a periodi cal whose principal endeavour at the time appeared to be, not so much that of reprobating the Papal revival of an obsolete Hierarchy, as that of ridi culing the root-dogmas or fundamental principles of Roman Catholicism. It mattered little whe ther the spectators of these proceedings were orthodox Protestants, or Presbyterians, or Non conformists ; every one appreciated on the in stant the high and honourable motives which induced Mr. Doyle, without a moment's hesitation, to sacrifice everything rather than con sent to the violation of his sense of religious con sistency. We respected his known reasons for a sudden retirement from the establishment of our great comic publication. Bat, in doing so, we grievously lamented over the necessity of his de parture. We have ever since then regretted the disappearance from the pages of the " London Charivari" of his fanciful and bizarre grotesque- ness. Although Mr. Leech was still left in his old post as facile princeps among the weekly illustrators. Although the gap occasioned by the secession of Mr. Doyle was partially filled up very soon afterwards by the timely induction into his vacant place of a humorous draughtsman no less ingenious than Mr. Tenniel. In spite of all this, _ _ _ _ we could not but miss those inimitable freaks and frolics of the pencil to which the satirist of "Ye Manners and Customs of yo Englishe" in the nine teenth century had habituated us almost , to the exhaustion of our risibility. It has so chanced, moreover, that from the date we are here alluding to, down to the latest number of our comic con- temporary, every separate issue has borne upon its title-page a tantalishw reminder of Richard Doyle as an interrupted &mins among caricaturists. We have there perpetually thrust provokingly before our eyes the well-remembered effigy in the wood cut frontispiece of Punch of what the Dublin Reviewer once called the " little cocky bird" perched on the reversedinitials of the banisliedillus• trator. TruoJ. L. is still ours with his glass-covered leech-bottle--but R. D. with his pert little fledg ling is still absent from the body of the work, though still presiding over it in the Customary nook at the left-hand corner of the familiar title- page. The non-appearance elsewhere in Punch of that ever - delightful and laughter-provoking monograph being in no way compensated either by the symbolic scrawl of the half-opened pair of " barnicles," or that queer, odd, fantastic triple- zigzag which may be described as the three frog's legs hieroglyph. Nay we are not altogether solaced _ . fo - r the ab - sence of Doyle by the indefatigable and ever-lively pencillings of home life by Leech, or the occasional outlines vouchsafed by the hand of Ten niel when not more ambitiously employed in paint ing at his easle, or embellishing with his compeers _ _ the frescoed wails of the New Houses of Parliament. We want Richard Doyle back again in his old po- sition on the London Charivari. We are unw-il- ling to regard his return to that position, sooner or later, as quite impracticable. We long to have our appetite for the ridiculous feasted once more by his pictorial extravagance. And precisely as we are disposed to grumble over the remembrance of that perversity which deprived Mr. Punch of the pencil of Doyle, we are prepared to quarrel with the old gentleman, heart and soul, too th and nail, over the recollection of that incorrigible wrongheadedness which struck out of his fasces the well-nibbed pen of Thackeray. As the artist was driven away, in 1850, from the establishment hard by St. Bride's and over against Mr. Bogue's, in Fleet-street, because of his all-mastering love of religious consistency—so was the novelist scared out of the same incongruous manufactory of bur lesque and bigotry, of puns and prejudice, by rea son of the warmth of his patriotism and the sincerity of his devotion to the interests of fair play. Punch, like the rest of his contemporaries, with one " base exception "—ourselves—had long per sisted in directing ridicule, abuse, and all kinds of unmannerly personalities and flagitious vitupera tions against the imperial ruler of France, as though a nation of 30,000,000 could be hoodwinked by an unprincipled charlatan with the ballot and uni versal suffrage three times placed at their disposal for the settlement of his disputed claims upon their respect or upon their vengeance. It mattered nothing apparently to the revilers of Charles Louis Napoleon that upon the first occasion when that double test of the ballot and universal suffrage was applied, the electoral boxes were in the hands of the foes and even of the rivals of " The Pretender" —so that there could not possibly be even a sus picion of jugglery when, under the repub lican rule of General Cavaignac, close upon six millions of votes were counted out of the urns of franchise in favour of his princi pal opponent. Nothing seemed capable of opening the eyes of the more scurrilous assailants of the b chief of the house of Bonaparte to a recognition of their mistake in regarding him as the deceiver instead of as the chosen leader of France : not even the subsequent re-election of the same man to the chair of the Presidency by a still larger majority than the one which had first nominated him the supreme magistrate of the Democracy. Nay, not even the augmentation upon a third and conclud ing trial (when the votes by universal suffrage were again, and for the last time, passed through the alembic of the ballot-box) not even the augmenta tion upon thAt crowning test of six to eight millions, as a majority, when the Prince-President was raised upon the shield of the people and his brow bound with the diadem of the modern Charlemagne. No—the blundering animosity of the vituperators of the third Napoleon was not to be silenced in this country until self-interest at last pointed out the folly of further perseverance in the same insensate onslaughts upon the ruler of France, now the mag nanimous ally of England. When the complication of European difficulties in the East had gradually revealed, among other things, the sincerity of his Imperial Majesty's desire to maintain the position of his empire side by side with that of Victoria in the van of the great army of civilisation, a new light suddenly began to dawn upon our contemporaries. One by one the journalists of England, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, recognised the mis take they had been all along committing in allow ing the prejudice to run riot in unthinking abuse of the thrice-elect of the neighbouring population. One by one they changed their tactics. One by one they dropped off from the ranks of his assail ants, until at last but a single scurrilous vituper ator of the French Emperor remained, that one, however, a deadly " good hater," beim° , no other than the little hump-backed gentleman Mr. Punch. Ultimately this dunderheaded obstinacy proved altogether too much for Mr. Thackeray. He quitted the establishment of the gross-grained censor, satisfied that the course doggedly pursued by the sop of the nineteenth century in carping to the very end of the chapter at everything done or said by the friend and ally of England, could not possibly be consonant with the dictates of true patriotism—of right reason, or of common decency. And so the sustained petulance of Punch, in the matter of the Catholic Hierarchy, deprived him of the genius of Mr. Doyle ; and his yet more flag rant pertinacity in reference to the French Em peror deprived him of the genius of Mr. Thackeray. The secession of the former was at the period of its occurrence a subject of general notoriety. That of the latter was not long since announced by him in a delightful paper contributed to the pages of the Quarterly. It is just as it should be, therefore, to find the two eminent seceders from the London Charivari working amicably together upon the same " labour of love," R. D. embellishing with etchings and woodcuts the delectable history of that most respectable family " The Newcomes," edited, we presume, from the original manuscripts of M. A. T., by our friend of the Pall-Mall Gazette, Arthur Pendennis. Fortunately for the admirers of both Doyle and Thackeray, this joint periodical, now rapidly approaching its completion, is very far from being the only vehicle for the display of their peculiar powers—one as an inimitable droll of the pencil, the other as a foremost name among those of the great masters of fiction who have built up the glorious fabric of the Walhalla of our Imaginative Literature. As for Mr. Thackeray his industry has been proving itself to bo no less indefatigable than his rare and delightful genius appears to be many sided and seemingly inexhaustible. Besides the continuance, month by month, of his serial story, in two dozen numbers, besides his occasional con tribution just now referred to as adorning a recent instalment of the Quarterly, he could find leisure, at Christmas, to narrate the advbntures of Prince Bulbo, and his worthy associates in that queer little fairy tale "The Rest) and the Ring," sprinkled by. his own band with the oldest, strangest, plea santest of absurd embellishments:, Beyond which ho even discovered time and opportunity the other day to deliver another charming discourse, a sup plemental prelection to his witty and genial lec tures upon the lives• and works of our English Humorist s . N ot b y any mea ns so industrious has been Mr. Do3le—the products of whose whimsical gmius app ear t o have been res t r i c t e d a ll this while to the drawings coming forth, month after mouth, under the yellow leave s of "The Newcomes," and to vague promises of other good things, put forth intermittently among the Messrs. Smith and Elder's advertisements. Promises only these tan talisieg announcements still remain—ghostly "shadows," cast before them by those "coming events," popularly known as works " in the press," or " preparing for publication." Meanwhile we have yet upon our bookshelves the famous Diary of Mr. Pips, decorated with those interleaved litn nings—outlines of " figures of fun," in impractic able attitudes, set off for the mo s t part b y impos sible perspectives. And still lying upon our side• table; cheek-by-jowl with all imaginable and un imaginable pictorial oddities from Hogarth to Leech, from Gilray to Cruiksbank, we have still at our elbow, Richard Doyle's incorrigibly ridiculous record of " The Foreign Tour of Messrs. Brown, Jones, and Robinson"—being a history of what they saw and did, one memorable autumn, iu Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. However immethodical may be the researches made in this ample repertory of the purely ludi crous, those who may turn over the pages of the " eventful history" therein represented, may count with absolute certainty upon not closing the volume without having first of all laughed_ over its contents "consumedly," besides drawing, both from pictures and from explanatory letterpresv, a wonder ful store of exhilarating recollections. Recollections which are to the genuine appreciator of the comic what the daffodils were to the pensive memory of Wordsworth—that " host of golden daffodils " seen " Be9ide the lake, beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze." And afterwards immortalised in that exquisite remembrance— " How oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude ; And then my heart with pleasure .fills And dances with the daffodils." It is precisely thus, we repeat, with regard to the humorous conceits conjured up by the mere recol lection of Mr. Doyle's laughable memorial of the wanderings and ponderings of Messrs. Brown, Jones, and Robinson. How vividly we recall to mind each one of them—per se—in his amazingly ridiculous individuality. Shockheaded little " Brown"—intended, we can't help fancying some times, to stand forth from the canvass in some sort as our artist's own representative. Tall, slim, not to say lanky " Jones "—the very embodiment of English sang froid, of cool British self-possession. And stupid, delightful, fat, sentimental, old " Robinson"—a very tub in shape and a veritable butt in good-natured stupidity. Don't we recollect each of them in his particular form, in his distinguishing garb, in his peculiar and especial idiocyncrasy ? Robinson going abroad with a perfect pyramid of luggage, hat-boxes, bags, boxes, portmanteaux—and coming back with that wonderful melange of foreign pur chases, the fuzzy, broad-rimmed hat, never worn and always in the way the wooden pipe, evidently' impervious to tobacco-smoke 1 the cornet-a-piston, bought in Germany with the vague intention of learning to play it some day ! the Venice gloves, obtained as a great - bargain, and found to be utterly worthless ! and so on with the eau-de cologne, and the cigars, and the tanchoritz editions of nice little books seized by the Custom-house authorities ! Jones, too, setting out on his voyaging smooth and sleek, and returning homewards with that astonishing moustache ! To say nothing of Brown starting without the key of that gluttonous carpet-bag, which ho has packed with the pressure of his feet, and which he ultimately leaves behind him at Minden—discovering his forgetfulness only by the time he has reached Dusseldorf Besides this heroic trio of Roving Englishmen, what mar vellous personages have we not introduced to us personally, bodily, living and breathing it almost seems, during the course of their continental peregrinations. The Bore, for example, that stupendously dreary infliction suggestive at mo ments, even to the meekest victims, of either sui cide or assassination. How we shudder in sympa thy with poor Brown and Jones, at that mere glimpse of the wretch in the moonlight at Heidel berg How we tremble with them as they peer round the corner of the tobacconist's shop at Frankfort, at the glimmer of his abominable coat tails, as he passes round the corner on the other side of the way, without recognising the fact of their proximity. The Citizen of the United States, too, mot on board the Rhine steam-boit—who opinionates . to Brown that "old Europe is 'tarnally thawed up," and that "this here Rhine aint much by the side of our Mississipi." The English "Mi lord" on the same river (the Rhine), seen through his carriage window, muffled up in a cloak and travelling cap, engaged in reading the literature of his country, i.e., the Times and the Quarterly. Again—the London Gent up the Rhino, his lip in bristles, and his limbs in very loud plaid—repre sented at the moment when expressing his opinion that the whole is a "do" and a " self." Or—the British Fanner and Son in foreign parts—sur prised by everything into a perpetual grin and stare, horridly obfuscated chawbacons, in reference to whom Jones wickedly insinuates that they must have taken leave ofEngland and their senses at once, owing to the withdrawal of Protection ! Or that intol erable M.P. travelling in search of facts—the very double of Sir Charles Wood—pragmatical and poli tico-economic, who favours Brown (unasked) with his view upon mattersgenerally, and the statistics of everything. Above all, there must not fail to be particularly mentioned the most miraculous life portrait among all these—the callotype of the Great Briton, stout, comfortable, broad-cloth'd, well buttoned, and supercilious his feet warm in gaiters, his hand leaning negligently on his um brella, his nose in the air contemplating the Rhine-land, wondering if it would be possible to live in that country, and, considering (suppose lie had one of those castles now) how many thousands a year one could do it with ! When he shall turn away at the end of his contemplations, putting his hand in his trowser pocket as he strolls along deck, we can already hear by anticipation the luscious chink of the warm gold running through his fin gers. Never was a man evidently more well-to-do, smug, plump, and self-satisfied. He little thinks as he stands there, musing, what Brown (otherwise Doyle) is doing all the while, in the distance, with his magic, little, twittering pencil ! Any more than the demure nun—jotted down the next minute by the same hand in a rapid act of sketch ing. Several of the more symbolical of Brown's pictorial freaks, by the way, are deserving of peculiar observation : ex. gr., " the first glimpse of Rhine Scenery," represented by diagrams of fields and lines of poplars in parallelograms ! or the first im pression of the river itself " f ro m an original sketch" in the possession of Brown's family, show ing us a perspective of sugar-loaf hills on either side, each hill-top surmounted by a ruined castle ! or the somewhat indistinct representation of the same scenery when it becomes " mysterious" under the combined influence of Mist (Scotch) and Fog (London November) ! The narrative of the tour is, of course, not without its adventures. Indeed each of the three heroes has his own separate and distinctive adventures. Little Brown, for rxmnple, his famous pas de desespoir et de resignation in his night-gown at Venice—dur i ng the whole of which dance of torture his head is enveloped in a cloud, or halo, or aureole of what Mrs. Gudge called the " musketeers." Beginning with an agonised kick up in the bedclothes—followed by a sitting bolt upright in a state of dogged " Misery"—then by a dashing exit from between the sheets in a condi tion of frantic " Desperation "—and after " mo- mentary relief" at the open window, a series a effective tableaux : one (with the bolster and pil low) entitled " Madness 1" another, " Bell ! !" another "Boots !!!" and, finally, in the midst of a chaos of furniture, the effigy of the hero of the midnight incident (still in hisnight gear), his hands on his knees, his hair bristling, his head still in its aureole of " musketeers," in the crowning stage of all, that of entire blank " Despair 1 1 ! !" Robin son's adventure presents him to us in divers extra ordinary attitudes, after he has fallen asleep while sitting in front of the fire in the public room of the hotel at Heidelburg—bringing him through the various contortions produced in a sitting body by profound somnolency to that horizontal position in which Brown and - Jones are horrified to discover him on their return— his hands in his pockets, and snoring sono rously. Jones's Adventure threatens a somewhat more serious termination than either of those already described, originating in a s qua bbl e be tween his Isle-of-Skye terrier, and a small sentinel at Baden, leading the master of the dog to an assault upon the soldier-in-miniature, and conduct ing him at last into the custody of the local militar yauthorities—fromwhoseclutches he is at len thwith some difficulty extricated on the potent score of his being Civis Britannicus. It were idle to attempt following our three friends through however, to whole tangled maze of their occasionally rath t ( to e eccentric proceedings—as idle as i dream of affording any adequate b y e mere words, however adroitly selected, idea nee woul b , of the appeara presented by Robinson during the seven ages ° his beard up to the date of his memorable shave at Milan, or the same gentleman as he shone forth in the Vicuna tailor's when first endowed with that astonish ing compound of cloak And overcoat, em broidered do wn th e seams, d ecora t e d w ith a hood, and adorned with a tassle ! Possibly the most characteristic sketches of the "glori ous three" are . those representing Jones as he appeared at the opera "abrcad," and "at home—Brown as he loOked late at night, while endeavouring to square the accounts of the voylr,urs, and Robinson, as he looked while writ ing his celebrated letter to the Times , on the sub ject of the deficiency. of soap and water among the benighted nations of the continent. • Wonderful is the gleaming "Eye of the Government," (kept upon the travellers during their stay in the Austrian dominion) as drawn from Brown's haunted imagi nation. Wonderful is that little daguerreotype of Kellner, the German waiter, who is small in Eva ture (remaining always a boy, like the driver cf our own post horses), scarcely the size of We, as Jones takes occasion, to remark, wl•ea they first behold a veritable specimen of his class at Cologne. Wonderful beyond all is that übi quitdoteirsers i n official, a f ri g w h h t o ini a i f n t e a r n n h haunting duringntin o t t h i re whole three wan period of their stay in the Austrian capital, is at last presumed by them to have bad his suspicions originallyrya t emr mistaking tll eni fe r—ih e excitedra ty, Equality, r g a a n r b a d r out on the loose ! And so, in an inexhaustible torrent of drollery, the freaks of the Foreign Tour of our heroes, through Belgium, G3rmany, Italy, and Switzerland, are poured out over eighty quarto pages of the hu morous , by the pencil of Richard Doyle, the fun of which appears to us e th q e ua e l x l the ludicr ous ypleanpaptearryentee in the fantastic pictures and of Brown, Jon es , and Robinson, from t h e an i ma t e d pa in n ni or e a n u t i a a ries o . f Nthethiwli g an fi d a e g ri s n gs in frontispiece on the title-page down to that notable joke agenigeienevandl joys eyweaeyf a of re L t 'f r i n te h oi e — m i e n vr di a c r a d t s iy f e reni of the Continent, viz., " Sic (k) Transit," as shadowed foith in mid-Channel ! " Gloria illundi," as sym bolise lat Dover by a return banquet of London porter and the roast beef of Old England ! Chuckling over which comic climax to the book, the reader closes it with every willingness to greet Brown, Jones, and Robinson with the heartiest 8021 Voyage ! in the event of their ever betraying a dis position to make, sooner or later, another tour upon the continent—a tour not like that of Doctor Syntax in search of the picturesque, but in quest, we take it, of the grotesque and exhilarating. Ex hilarating the contemplation of their journeying has been to us, and so, as they hurry off towards their several situations—Brown, with his note book and portfolio • Jones, with his ragged littl e scaramouch of a dog at his heels ; and Robinson, flustered under the weight of the responsibility of that mountainous mass of baggage—we greet them, cordially, with a hail and farewell ! SPOLTING OT ES. NOTIONS ABOUT NEWCASTLE. The inhabitants of Newcastle take a proper pride in their meeting, and are jealous of its reputation. They willingly and liberally contribute to the race fund, and cordially co-operate with the officials to carry out the essential arrangements connected with the gathering. By the hard-worked, soot-begrimed denizens of this mining district the race week is devoted to holidays and merrymaking, and toil and its troubles are for a time forgotten in the excitement and enjoyment of the sport. Until late years Newcastle was almost inaccessible to Southern turfites ; now, however, the facilities of rail way travelling have removed this bar to its complete success, and although the journey be still long and tedious, yet metropolitan sportsmen willingly under take it in consideration of the attraction and interest which centre in the proceedings. True, the supply of sport will be comparatively scanty, but the fields for the different handicaps will doubtless be some what large. The proceedings will commence with the Trial Stakes, which closed on Saturday. The entries for this and the other htakes which closed on that day, have not yet reached London. The North Derby is, therefore, the first event which "champions me to the utterance." The list of nominations comprises the names of Corcebus, Dame Judith, Blooming Heather, Amy, Lord Alfred, &c. Should Blooming Heather and Corcebus meet, the encounter will doubtless occasion some brisk betting. At Stockbridge Corcebus appeared in capital condition, and in consideration of the style in which he defeated his opponents there, I shall pin my faith to him on this oc- casion. Thirty-one animals are handicapped for the Members' Plate, and in the absence of all actual knowledge as to the intended competitors it is a task of no ordinary difficulty to indicate the probable winner. On glancing over the list, the names which attract the eye are Early Bird, Sst. 71b. ; Bourgeoip, Bst. ; Radulphus, 7st, 101 h. ; Maid of Team Valley, 7st. 21b. ; Eulogist, 7 s t. 2ib. ; Tho Assayer, Est. 121 b. ; Ammonia, 6st. 101 b. ; Miss Allen, Est. 101 b. ; Lily, 4st. 111 b. From this lot I shall select the Assayer,nia.id of Team Valley, and Early Bird to represent my interest, my opinion of their comparative chances being indicated by the order in which I have set down their names. Sister to Broughton, Gamester, and Thirty-to-Five, seem the most noteworthy names among the entries for the Tyro Stakes. Mr. Morris, however, may have something " formidable ;" my present fancy, however, is for Thirty-to-Five. Wednesday's list is strong in the attraction of the Northumberland Plate, to which the attention of turfites —northern and southern—is now almost exclusively directed. Although the weights have been most carefully adjusted, yet a probability exists that the field will be numerically small. So far as lam at present able to as certain, the following are likely to go the post : Age at lb Age st lb Vindex Arribas Exile of Erin 4 7 3 Blooming Heather 3 6 1 Dilkeith Bianca Waverley Rylstone (in. 61b Bolton 3 5 6 extra) The Spinner I have included Rotherham io the above list, albeit well founded doubts are entertained of his starting. It is said that his leg has again filled. Bolton has been advanced to the position which he once occupied in the betting, and is certainly leniently enough handicapped to be entitled - to the support he has received. Whether he will be capable of staying is reasonably doubted, but this objection will hold good with reference to nearly every animal in the race. Should Vindex be i' the vein he will be a most formidable opponent ; his weight in comparison with that of certain of the young o ties is most favourable. He possesses considerable racing merit, which is, however, counteracted by hi& un certain roguish temper. Good as Rylstone un questionably is, yet the 6lbs. additional impost which he incurred by his winning at Manchester will militate materially against his success. Still, E shal expect to see him obtain a forward position. He ran well up at the Derby, and at the distance looked as for midable as anything in the race. John Osborne, it is reported, means mischief with something. My infor mation, however, is too vague to induce me to place confidence in the triumph of his stable. Should Baron. Rothschild be inclined to try his fortune in the North with Blooming Heather, the blue jacket and orange cap will doubtless be conspicuous. Blooming Heather can stay, and will undoubtedly be among the first flight of competitors. Courtney is much fancied by a large body of supporters, and his running is good enough to warrant the "fondness" which is entertained for him. Of the outsiders my preference is for Whitelock, in consideration of his easy victory / at the late meeting at Shrewsbury. On a careful comparison of the dha nces I am induced to assign the foremost places to VINDEX, BLOOMING HEATHER, and COURTNVI. Should an outsider be destined to pull through, George Mather may give the fielders a " good turn" with Whitelock. His success would be hailed with general satisfaction, for no man on the turf is more respected. His ill luck with his horses is, however, notorious, but he may yet experience the truth of the old proverb about the long lane that ha's no turning. Tilly ought to win the Grand Stand Stakes, and Carp eine ought to obtain the second money. Hospodar, Bourgeois, Snowdon Dunhill, Helmet, Ellermire, Assayer, and Exmouth constitute a for midable lot for the Free Handicap. The winner will perhaps be either Hospodar or Helmet. For the Com mercial Visitors' Plate I select Hanby and Chisel. Wild Huntsman will perhaps carry off the Gold Cup. The Lott ery S ta k es I assign to Coroabus. .The. u t p h o e n' proasbab t le winner impos sible Corpo ration Handicap I shal not touch to express anopinion until the result of the first a nd second day's racin g be a s to known. • The lovers of sport at Cheltenham have succeeded i n ge tting uP two days' racing, to take place on Th ursday and Friday next.

The fresh arrivals of beasts from our own grazing dis tricts were tolerably good, and of more than average quality; indeed there were very few inferior home-fed beasts on sale. Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was rather extensive, the beef trade ruled very inactive, at a decline in the prices quoted on this day se'nnight of from 4(1 to 6d per 81bs. The highest figure for Scots was 4s 6d per Ms. For Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,400 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 550 horned and polled Scots. There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep. Although the mutton trade was rather steady, Friday's decline in price of 4d per Blbs was not recovered; hence the top figure for the best old Downs was 5s per 81bs. . _ Lambs, the show of which was tolerably extensive, moved off slowly at 4d per Blbs beneath last Monday's currency. The highest price was 6s 4d per 8113 s. Wo were well supplied with calves, which ruled dull, at from 2d to Id per 81bs. beneath the prices of Monday last.
