CITY, Two o'C•LocR The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with much animation, and compared with Friday's rates prices of all kinds were extreme. The sales comprise 15,000 bales, (2,000 export, and 4,000 speculation American), 300 Pernam and Maranham 61d. to 7d., 700 Egyptain sid. to 91d., 200 Surat Cid. to 51,d., 100 Sea Islands 12d. to 16d. There was no apparent change in the aspect of the Railway Share Marker. The advices from New York by the Canada, re ceived this morning, represent the money market as having been rather easier, but the various bank ing establishments were cautious in their opera tions. If the imports continued as extensive as for some time previously, however, the efflux of specie would necessarily occasion a recurrence of tempo rary pressure. During the week ending the 4th instant the imports of merchandise exceeded the exports to the value of 3,455,681 dollars. The spring trade is described as having progressed in a most satisfactory manner. Monetary affairs bad improved, credit was good, and the increased imports had augmented the general revenue for the quarter. The receipts of goods from foreign► parts for the first three months of this year were equal to $51,871,305, against $35,200,366 in the corre sponding period of the preceding year. The peace in Europe, and the general prosperity of the United States had produced a feeling of confidence among all classes of the mercantile community. On the Vienna Bourse, towards the close of last week, there was a favourable reaction in the Aus trian Funds, which had previously ruled heavier at lower quotations. The 5 per Cent. Metallics rose to 5.1, and the 44 Stock was firm at 77. Austrian Railway Shares advanced 21 florins to 263 i, and the New Bank of Credit 1 florin to 345. Money continued to be easier, and foreign ex changes lower. On London 10-3, and on Paris lt9i. Accounts from the Berlin Bourse state that business has been very inanimate during the last few days, and the Prussian Funds are languid, without any variation in previous quotations. The 31 per Cents. remain at 86k. The following are the particulars of the specie on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Indus, which was to leave Southampton for India, China, &c., yesterday : Alexandria (gold) Bombay (silver) Ceylon (golo) Madras (silver) Calcutta (silver) Total £356,574 In the market for public securities not the slightest change of importance has occurred, the quotations are almost nominal, and speculative as well as real business is almost suspended. Occasionally a small purchase of stock is made ler investment, but no effect is produced upon values. The condition of the money market is rather more favourable to increased animation, but there is evidently a disposition to defer operations for the present, induced in some measure, perhaps, by the anxiety to ascertain the terms upon which peace has been concluded. Con sols for transfer have been 931 and for account 93 1 all the morning. The New Three per Cents. are 92; to 93, and the Reduced 92 to 921. The March Exchequer Bills are ls. premium, and the June ditto 2s. discount. Very few transactions have bean recorded in the Poreigu Market, and some of the favourite stocks rule heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are flatter, viz., but the Guaranteed 4 per Cents. are well supported at 1011 to 102. Russian 5 per Cents. have been done at 106, Mexican at 23, and Equa dor New Consolidated at 151. Brazilian Small Bonds are 99k, and Spanish Active 452. Dutch 21 per Cents, are firm at 641, but the 4 per Cents. are rather lower, viz., 93/. _ _ . The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 ; Mexican, 22i 2 ; Peruvian, 77; 81 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 534 41 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 48 50 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 104 6 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 94 6 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 454 Y ; ditto Deferred, 241 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 71 I. Fur English Railway Shares there is a quiet but firmer market, and some of the principal lines, in cluding Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and Mid land, are at fuller rates. The foreign undertakings are maintained at the previous values, and the East Indian are in favour. Several bargains are reported in Foreign Mines, the Joint-Stock Banks are firm, and the miscella neous shares quiet. BILITISEI FUNDS THIS DAY AT (ENE O'CLOCK. (From the Ofteial List.

These sessions held by adjournment from Reigate took place this morning at the i.e.sions house, Newington Causeway, before Thomas Puckle, E4q., chairman, J. E. Johnson, Esq., deputy chairman, and a full bench of magistrates. The calerider contained the names of 34 prisoners fir trial. Twenty-nine f-r felony, and five for misdemeanour. There ware besides two persons on bail, whose names are not on the calend T. The grand jury having bsen sworn, the Chairman said that there did not appear anything in the calendar requiring any special observations from him. The calendar appeared very light in comparison with that of last year, but tbat was chiefly caused by the recent introduction of the New Criminal Justice Act, whioh empowered magistrates at Petty Sessions or Police Courts to deal -ummarily with many cases of felony where the offenders pleaded guilty, otherwise there would be more than three times the number of prisoners for trial. That Act of Parliament, be was happy to say, did not interfere with trial by jury, as the offenders could come here for trial if they pleased. He must impress upon their minds the necessity of examining all the witnesses at the back of the respective bills,and before they ienored any he should advise them to send into the court for the original depositions taken before the committing magistrate, as he was sure the cases would not be sent for trial unless a great deal of suspicion was attached to them. In conclusion, if a pri soner was indicted for a felony and the evidence showed that it was only an attempt, they must find the bill for the latter and send the prisoner for trial. The learned Chairman then dismissed the jury to their room. THE VACANT GARTERS.—We are enabled to state that Viscount Palmerston and Earl Fortescue are to have the vacant Garters.

The Board of General officers reassembled this morn ing at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, at the usual hour. Lord Lucan commenced the proceedings this morn ing by first putting the question to Colonel Tulloch which, on a previous day, the Board took time to con sider was a question that o-Jgbt to be put to him, viz., whether he would now produce a letter which on a former occa-ion he bad stated was in his possession or that of Sir J. M'Neil, in which the Government bad in timated their approval of the report of the Commis sioners ? The country markets held on Saturday were for the most part but moderately supplied with home-grown wheat, yet the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at drooping cur rencies. Barley was scarce, and in request, at very full prices. All other articles were lower to purchase. The continental markets continue heavy for wheat and flour, on lower terms. The supplies have rather increased. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our markets last week. The imports from abAad consisted of 9,865 qrs. of wheat, 3,240 barley, 29,110 oats, 1,750 beans, 20 peas, 60 tares, 1,630 linseed, 1,356 rape seed, 2,830 Indian corn, 301 sacks and 1,790 brls. of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market, to-chy, coastwise, were limited, and those by laud car riage were small, though in good condition. The Essex and Kent stands were by no means largely supplied with samples, yet, millets generally purchased with extreme caution. Most of the Essex wheats were Pold at a shade under the prices realized on this day se'nnight. Kentish samples moved off heavily, and, in most transactions prices were in favour of buyers by about is per quarter. 3cdrord Dui Blot :!hloy Buokghantell Clydesdal.• Col. Stour Vy. Sud. and Hal.

AS Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. The show of both English and foreign barley was very moderate. All kinds sold briskly, and a good clearance was easily effected, at very full prices. We had a fair demand for malt at full quotations—the best samples being worth 80s per quarter. The supply of oats, chiefly foreign, was very extensive, and the oat trade ruled heavy, at a decline in prices of from 'd to is per quarter. Colonel Tudoch---Here is the copy of the letter I have alluded to. I should not like to read the whole of it ; but I will a portion of it. Sir J. 111'Neil says, "And whin I next saw L.r Panmure he told me he had read every word of it (that is the report), and that he consi dered it to be temperate and moderate ; and he only took objP.ction to a part of it that he thought more pro perly belonged to military statistics, which he would have to lay before the Horse Guards." Besides this, I think the board have a copy of an official letter, stating that Lord Palmerston in the House of Commons inti mated his approval of the report.

He was never applied to for canvass with which to shelter the horses, and had never heard that such an appeal had been made to the fleet until he entered that Hall. Hal such an appeal been made, he must have known it ; because, whilst the cavalry were in such a sad state, he was in the habit of riding daily to the cunp to see if assistance could be given them. He did not consider that such an application was made by Lord Raglan ; because, before the 14th of November, as many sailors, marines, and carpenters had been sent to the assistance of the army, with as much canvass as could be spared from the fleet. It would have been impossible to have supplied canvass for covering 2,000 horses. He never had at one time 15 sail of the line. The largest number he had at one time did not exceed 11 ; the average was 7. These ships were engaged in watchir_g the coast, and he had not one man on board any of those vessels whom under any possible circumstances he could have spared to the army. Colonel Tulloch had stated that there was nothing to prevent him (Sir Edmund Lyons) from sparing some of his 200 or 300 carpenters, but speaking from memory be should say that he never had more than 50 or 60 carpenters at one time. Lord Lucan—Would you, under such circumstances, have given up anything on th 9 application of a divisional and therefore a subordinate officer ? Sir E. Lyons—Certainly not. _ _ Cork, White .•. • • 21s 25s Scotch, FOOd. •. .. 26s 30s deans—Tick ......... 33s 378 Pige0n5.......... 34. 42.

The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were very moderate as to number, but their general quality was prime. The at tendance of buyers was large, and the beef trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots sold at 4s 8d to 4s 10d par 81bs., and a clearance was readily effected. By Col. Tulloch—Each ship of war, under ordinary circumstances, carried a second set of sails. It would not be safe to go to sea without ; but it was not usual to carry a reserved supply of canvass in add►tion. The quantity of spare sails or canvass for an 80 or 120 gun ship might be 7,844 yards,,as stated in a nautical work, but it was impossible for any naval man to recollect the precise quantity carried. He was unable to say whether canvass could have been procured at Constantinople There was a great deficiency of carpenters at Cou stantinople, and he had to write to England for some. The Admiralty wrote to say no more could be obtained from England. Constantinople was again tried for carpenters for the fleet, but none could he had, and he was obliged to send to MAlta and offer very high wages to get some. It it had been possible to have gut carpenters at Constantinople Admiral Grey would have obtained them. He could not say if car• pointers and canvas could have been obtained from the merchant vessels in Batakiava Harbour. That could only be known of the admiral in cherge of the harbour , but this he knew that the navy did everything they could to assist the army. So well acquainted was he with the number and strengitiof tbe ships in the 13,ink Sea that he could give a list of the names of the ships and their position in the Black Sea fr i pm memory, ou any particular day Col. Tulloch might name. The ships were never lying at one time snug in harbour at Kainiesh. If they had been, there would have been no difficulty in landing the spare canvas and the carpenters t• provide shelter. There were only two vessels at one time in harbour, and that was at Kaz itch, and for a short period. The line-of-battle ships were stationed at different points commanding the coast along from Eupa toiia, round Sebastopol, to the other side ; and the other vessels of war were spread about from the Danube to the Circassian coast, changing their number and posi tion as to any given point several times a day. Col. Tulloch explained that he took the number, &c., of the ships tram the Naval List of that date, and which he handed in to the Court. From Nort.lk, Suffolk, Esssx, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,900 Scots and . short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; from Scotland 3GO Scots, and from Ireland, 120 oxen. The show of sheep was again very limited, but in fair condition. For all breeds we had a brisk demand, at 4d per 81bs above the rates obtained on this day se'nnight. The best old Downs in the wool realised 5s 81; out of wool, 5s per Sibs. Lambs—the supply of which was very moderate—sold slowly, at barely last Monday's currency. The top price was 7s 2d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight, about 600 head came fresh to hand. ::u id. ~'onsol.6 ron.Rr. r r; p~ We were but moderately supplied with calves, which moved off vlowly, on former terms. 10... Do. 4i p. c.

Memoirs, Journal, and Correspondence of Thomas Moore. Edited by the Right Hon. Lord John Russell. Vols. I. to VI. Longman and Co. It has been rather seriously objected to Moore by those who have the readiest eye for the detec tion of anything at all bearing the faintest sem- • blance of a blemish in the character of a great • celebrity, that the pet of fashion was a bit of a tufthunter. He has been accused of sycophancy, of toadeating ' of all manner of mean and grovelling tricks of obsequiousness. And these same swarming little despicable firms of . 1 depreciation seem to have sprung into being as I accouutably and surprisingly as the electric insects apparently called into existence by the late Mr. i Cross dutiug the course of some of the more eccen tric of his galvanic experiments. Miserable little gnats of Slander summoned into life, as far j as we can at all understand, by one casual phrase incidentally introduced here and there in the course of the Diary—little hobgoblin devils of epi - e c aujured up by the utterance of oneaceiden t al abraca dabra ! The simplest thing in the world it happens ' to be, when looked at for two seconds dispassion ately. As we will very briefly, but very clearly demonstrate. Observe !—here is an instance—a case in point—the microscopic origin of all this monstrous hubbub of vituperate n. Mo...re happens to jot down in his Diary (to example), under date 29dt June, 1828—such little "flies in amber " in the way of personal memoran d a, as— " Bessy [Mrs. Moore] came to town at twelve to pay v.sits, C. • Found Lady Davy and Ltdy Cuariemont at home ; went thence to Lady Rancliffe's and the Granards, where we were let in also." Where "we were let in !"—there is the whole gist of the charge about toadeatmg, tufting, sycophancy, obse quiousnuss—tnere is the gravamen of the whole of these sneering tlepreciatious of Moore as a parvenu secretly worshipping the haut ton and the pur sang of the aristocracy. When a little candid consideration would have shown, almost on the instant, how preposterous such deductions from a phrase so trivial really are, under the cir cumstances. " Let in "—why the phrase was as common in these days as the familiar greeting in the streets of "How-d*ye-do ? ' from a passing acquaintance. In her own contemporary Diary Madame D'Arblay, for instance, uses the phrase more than once as a matter of course—talking about being "let in" or about "not being let in " as the case chanced to be in reference to the round of morning visits. But Moore's own Diary, the very Diary from which this wretched little trumped-up accusation of meanness takes its rise, mayfurnish us readily enough with proof positive as to the folly of the imputation. Turning to the date of May 20th, 1823—a date which w.ll be found at Vol. iv., p. 66—the reader will perceive Moore writ ing quite innocently as to any of the gabble about the significance for good or evil of the wording of these poor little home-memorabilia—" In return ing from a saunter to Chitto [Chitway] Val ley, met Lady L. [Lansdowne], and Lord Kerry ; who had walked to call at the cottage [Moore's own cottage] ; but were not LET IN, Bessy being, they said, asleep. "So much for this trash about tufthunting on the part of Moore, a charge' springing out of two of ,he simplest words possible, used by him according to the fashionable slang of the day in the most natural, little, jaunty, ftibblina way im aginable. But then as Macaulay has admirably said in one of his inimitable Essays (the one on "Frederic the Great"), there are " those abject natures, whose delight is in the agonies of powerful spirits, and in the abasement of immortal names !" And so Thomas Moore has, in his turn, of late, bepu paying posthumously the penalty of his wide and enviable reputation. Fortunate for him at least (with his sensitive nature) that he has had to pay it for the most part only posthu mously. It is the penalty, perhaps, also of his literary pec cadilloes—of sins against good taste, some of them even worse than mere peccadilloes. Say, for instance, those abominable, erratic, prurient, sensuous, sen sual, "Poetical works of the late Thomas Little, Esq. ;" of which, however, the noble editor of then-ti memoirs can find it iu his heart to talk thus leniently I will not enter into the question of the propriety of Moore's earlier poems. Horace is vary licentious, yet his Odes are the delight of our clerical instructors and solemn crimes. Prior is no t very decent, but his talesarepraisedon a monument in Westminster Abbey, and defended by our great muralist, Dr. Johnson. Sortie of Little's Poems should never have been written, far less published, but they must now be classed with those of other amatory poets, who have allowed their fancy to roam beyond the limits which morality and decorum would prescribe." Toey were his literary wild uats—siwn betimes in his " hot youth when George the Third was King," only to his thought of, we may be sure, at least long afterwards, with feelings of remorseful repentance. Moore thought better of Poetry in tithe than to render it merely the vehicle for animal passion and animal spirits. As thought better in time too of wedlock : of which he wrote flippantly in 1807, while yet a bachelor, "I don t know which would put tue into the greatest purga tory, matrimony or physic"—he who afterwards (the cynical sneers of Mr. J. W. Croker, neverthe less notwithstanding) live 1 during so many years a life of pure domestic happipess. However, in these immature years Moore could err in grammar as in judgment—mistaking au adjective fur au adverb— when he wrote from London, in the April of 1807, to his mother : " The time flies over me here as swift as if I was in the midst of dissipation." Very soon, however, he had to brush up both grammar and judgment, and to bestir himself in earnest as a literary adventurer. And he did so, we all know, to very general admiration. His industry, as well as his skill, had to be manifested—for had he not to gather name and fame out of the winds that blow, honey out of the flowersofParnassus and money out of the waters of the literary Pactolus ? Competing wits such rivals in those glorious games of the poetic amphitheatre ! Scarcely is he arrived in London in 1799 than he is writing about " this wonderful Pizarro of Sheridan's, which is putting all London into fevers 1" A dozen years later he is observing in a letter to the same correspondent— " My friend Lord Byron's poem is doing wonders, and there is nothing talked of but him everywhere; he certainly is * * *" then come the most irri tating asterisks in the world, followed by a curt intimation in brackets to the effect that " [the rest of the letter has been lost.]" Again, in the year following be tells us, through the same channel " I had a lively letter from Lord Byron yesterday, his last thing (!), the G iaour, is very much praised, and deservedly ; indeed I think he will dethrone Walter Scott." Sometimes, in truth, he cannot help remarking with a pang about the monopoly of renown iu the world of letters shared by those twin giants of Romance and Poetry, as where he says " It is rather discourag ing now to write, when the attention of all the reading world is absorbed by two writers—Scott and Byron ; and when one finds such sentences as the following in the last Edinburgh iteview. These novels (Scott's) have thrown evidently into the shade all contemporary prose, and even all recent poetry, except perhaps those inspired by the genius or demon of Byron.'" Yet Moore, in spite of all such casual heartaches and occasional tins,giviiig , , contrived to earn " golden opinions," both figurative and substantial, from his contemporaries. Did he not out of that subject of " Rogets's suggesting,"," Lalla Rookh" certain in one haul 3,0001. sterling from the munificent firm of the Messrs. Longman ? Was he nut pleasantly, and, as he himself tells us, " particularly flattered" by praise from Leigh Hunt, conveyed through his " Feast of the Poets," spread pretty much about the same time ? Was he not himself amused .by the magnificent offer of Lucien Bonaparto's poem to translate —an offer which declin edhe ! Not every day did he meet hearty open-handed fellow like " frieandco vri . th . a genial Doug las on the morrow of obtaining b y re able legacy of 10,0001. cently deceased Duke of left Q bin" b y and who hnn ue w e with a slap-on-the could then and there say to dear . little fellow, - back sort of flourish "Now, my there is (si c) at present you know I'm grown rich : seven hundred poun ds of mine Coutts'sbank in ; here is a blank c h eq ue which you may fill up w hile I a awa y for as much of that as you ma y want. " m A high-flown offer of bounty which, of course, Moore never accepted. Hard cas h, indeed, coming in from his publishers freely enoug h to render him generally independent of suc h gratuitous and incidental assistance. Ren dering it needless for him, moreover, to resort to the comical shift ascribed by him in a mood of delightful waggery to a ridiculous poetaster among his college acquaintances—of whom saith Moore, with a twinkling laugh in his eye—" Whenever he found himself hard run for money—which was not unfrequently, I believe, the case— his last and great resource, after having tried all other expedients, was to threaten to publish his poemS ; on hearing which menace the whole of his friends flew instantly to his re lief." Another while we may illustrate more at large the abundant evidence afforded by Moore's " Diary and Correspondence" of his exquisite sense of the . ludicrous, of the charm of winch the last mentioned anecdote, we take it, is of itself suffi ciently indicative. Enough for our purpose at this moment if we again refer to the various interest I excited in our imagination as we glance through these gay, and animated , pages . and run our bye ''over tht' leaves irauglit with sach - si . ugular size laiggall,44o9us eAte:ttgagaeut. lioug at 1 4 2 8 I 0 !I 6 '5 0 5 4 6 0 4 6 4 10 4 4 4 10 5 2 5 8 7 2 5 0 5 8 4 2 4 8 3,319 k 7 6d one moment with lifted eyebrows and shrugged-up shoulders, Moore's mention, in 1816, of a letter, then recently received from Lord Byron, in which that eccentric being writes, " There i 3 not existing a better, a brighter, or more amiable creature than Lady Byron"—and to which Byron's future biographer appends these two bewildered queries,—" Is not this odd ? What can be the reason of the separation ?'' Another, while we have from him in 1818, the latest news about the premature death of poor Monk Lewis, while mak ing a voyage across the ocean, Moore telling us that it was occasioned by Lewis taking emetics (contrary to advice) for sea sickness. It is curious, moreover, to hear through him from Lord Holland, that " Mr. Fox thought Sheridan's Westminster Hall speech trumpery, and used to say it spoiled the style of Burke, who was delighted with it"—Moore who seems to have thought by the way that he him self spoke very well indeed ! backing up my Lord Holland's record of Mr. Fox's opinion, by declaring flippantly for his own part, in regard to Sheridan's Begun Fuillippic Begu " Certainly, in the report I have read of it, it se ms most trashy b mbast." In com pensation, however, for all this silly stuff in depre ciation of the great orator, we find in this same volume (vol. iii.) preserved for us the following de lightful memento of Sherry's ready recognition, in spite of himself, of his son's genius as a humorist. The occasion is thus, so to speak, stenographically related by the biographer of the Qrator-Drama tist-Statestnan :—" SilLridan, the first time be met Tom, after the marriage of the latter, seriously angry with him ; told bim be bad made his will, and bad cut him off with a shilling. Tom said he was, indeed, very sorry, and immediately added, ' You don't happen to have the shilling about you now, sir, do you ?' Old S. burst out a-laughing, and they be came friends again." We don't doubt in the least but that both Tom and Richard Brinsley would together have " burst. out a-laughing" had they overheard Moore's own remark about the Lord Chamberlain's office recorded in his Diary just be fore his mention of this anecdote about the shil ling. Having had occasion to observe that "At the Chamberlain's office all the plays sent to the licenser since the time this office was first instituted are preserved" saith Moore—" What a hell of the damned it must be !" With the cracking of which diabolical joke, we take our leave yet again for a while of the comic cicerone of the "Fudge Family," the purloiner of the " Twopenny Post Bag," the his torian of " Captain Rock," the Times' Epigram. matist, the wag who called himself, even when a boy (Don't you remember it ?) ridiculously " Trismegistus Rustifustius !" SPORTING NOTES. ALL SORTS. The Cannobie case, and the severe comments which have been made on it, are calculated to exercise a per nicious influence on the Turf. The high social position of the gentlemen who sat in judgment on that case pre clude the idea that they would designedly record an un just decision, yet if the representations which have been made to me be true both justice and plain-dealing have been daringly defied by the disqualiication of Saraband for the Burwell Stakes.. Evidence of a most conclusive character was, perhaps, placed before the Stewards, and, if this supposition be correct, why not place the full par ticulars before the public People dislike the Star Chamber practice adopted by the Jockey Club, and re gard with suspicion the secrecy which is maintained in dealing with disputed cases. At the instance of Mr. Howard, who is part proprietor of Saraband, Mr. Pedley served the stakeholder with a notice not to pay over the stakes to the owner of Cannobie, and it is therefore pro bable that the requisite " disclosures " will be made in a court of law. Much diversity of opinion exists with regard to Can. nnbie's running for the Burwell Stakes, some persons maintaining that the horse tired on ascending the hill, and others that he would have won easily enough had his rider possessed the poser and the tact to get him out. To this latter opinion lam inclined to subscribe, and I have no hesitation in recording my conviction that the one that. can beat him can win the Derby. Turfites were somewhat startled from their propriety last week by a rumour to the effect that bath Yellow Jack and The Coroner had been sold for 12,0001., with certain cor tiogencies. The report Will not without foul). dation, and although the horses are likely to remain at Findon until after the Derby, it it not improbable that the bargain is already concluded, and that the horses are now the property of Mr. C. H. Carew. The sale has exercised a depressing effect upon both Yellow Jack and The Coroner, people being disinclined to back them until the uncertainty with which they are,at present surrounded is removed. Wentworth has steadily risen in favour ; he has cleared out the whole lot of the Dane. bury yo,ungsters. At least such is the report. Fly-by. Night seems quite gone, and no hopes are entertained that he will "come again." People, therefore, are growing sweet on Sugar Plum, a fine bright chesnnt ; but in my opinion he is only introduced into the market for timeserving, money-getting motives. Metropolitan sportsmen are already en route to York, where, if the promise which the programme contains be fulfilled, the sport will be sufficiently interesting to compensate them for their long and tedious journey. Saunterer will be " put upori his mettle" to defeat the opponents likely to be brought against him for the Zet land Stakes. From the spice of his quality which he gave us at Doncaster, however, I am induced to antici pate his success. Should he be beaten, eitker Mag nifier or Madame Clicquot may be the winner. One Act has been freely backed for both the Great Northern and Chester Cup. I, however, would rather watch the boiling of the Woodyate's " pots" than assist to stir them. Fandango has proved himself a race horse of first-class pretensions, and I shall couple him with The Earl to represent my interest. From the fifty-two nominations for the Londesborough Cup, I shall select Hospodar, Bourgeoise, Berezina, and Ghika. Should report be true, and Ellington be brought out for the Biennial Stakes for three-yr-olds, I shall expect him to achieve an easy victory. If, however, he be in capable of pulling through, or should he even win in a slovenly manner, few people will afterwards be inclined to " stand him" for the Derby. Unless the dark division contain a "flyer" I see nothing to beat Red White and Blue and Apathy for the Biennial Stakes for two-yr•olds. llzel►a is Laid to be a " rara good thing" for The Flying Dutchman's Handicap. I shall not express an opinion on the event, because the result will be regulated by to- morrow's racing. The Malton Meeting, as usual, will form an agreeable " pendant" to the gathering at York, and many persons will be induced to assist at its celebration in order to obtain an opp - irtunity of taking stock of the Whitewall horses. Marmion will, perhaps, win the Two-yr-old Stakes. Cossey or Bracken may carry off the Malton Handicap. It would be absurd to make a guess at the result of the other events. April 21. A FRESE MAN.
