GLORIOUS DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS. We have just received the Hamburg Re porter, which contains the following glorious and heart-stirring intelligence : WARSAW, APRIL 1.-The Polish Courier contains a report, flated yesterday, addressed by the Commander-in- Chief, General Skrzynecki, to the National Government, according to which his advanced guard yesterday attacked General Geismar's corps, which occupied a strong position near Wawr. After two hours' struggle this corps was beaten hack, and closely pursued on the road toMinsk. Every effort of the enemy was baffled, and even General Rosen's corps stationed at Dembewielski, was unable to sustain the Polish troops, who at the end of the battle occupied the positions of the enemy. According to the further contents of this report, the loss of the Russians amounted to several thousand men ; ours is only between 4 and 500, owing to the attack being unexpected. According to the latest intelligence, the Polish head quarters are at Minsk. General I.ubinski is at Zawody.— Prussian State Gazette, April 6. (The Prussian State Gazette of the 7th, contains no further particulars.) (FROM A LETTER.) BERLIN, APRIL 6,—Letters from Warsaw have been re ceived here by express, which contain the details of the very serious loss which the corps of General Geismar has sus tained by an attack from the Poles under Skrzynccki, exe cuted with equal boldness and success on the 31st of March and the Ist of April. The Polish Commander-in- Chief was informed of the negligence of the Russians at Wawr and Grochow in their cantonments and camp, He led a corps of 25,000 men on the 30th ult. to Praga, and in the night of the 31st of March approached the Russian camp—the road was covered with straw, so that the artillery and cavalry advanced without being perceived, to which the darkness of the night did not a little contribute. The advanced guard of General Geismar, consisting of eight or ten thousand men, was first attacked and almost wholly destroyed. The Poles took 4,000 pri soners and 16 pieces of cannon. The I itter, ornamented with green boughs, were brought into Warsaw. Skrzy nicki followed up his victory, and fell upon the corps of General Rosen, who, with twenty thousand own, was posted at Dembewieslki. He, too, was obliged to yield to the impetuous attack of the Poles, and lost 2,000 prisoners and nine pieces of cannon. The Russians retired by way of Minsk to join the main body of the army. Some of their fugitives fled to Siedlec, whither they were pursued by the Cracowites. Skrzynccki had on the Ist of April his head-quarters at Minsk, where, however, he will hardly be able to maintain himself as soon as Diehitsch with his whole force advances against The moral impression which this victory, by which at least 20,000 Russians are put hors de combat, will make, especially in the provinces in the rear of the army, is incalculable, far these fanatic priests, as for merly in Spain and Tyrol, excite the peasants to insurrection, and these savage bores increase to such threatening masses that the Russian civil officers and the frontier posts are obliged to take refuge in the Prussian territory. The news from the Continent is most cheer ing. The brave Poles are said to have beaten the Russians—who are in full retreat at all points —in another grand battle ; the latter endea voured to cross the Vistula, but were re pulsed with immense loss. The conflict con tinued for many hours, and terminated in the loss of two thousand Russians killed, between 7,000 and 8,000 wounded, and twenty pieces of artillery captured. This welcome in telligence was communicated on Saturday by General SEBASTIANI to several Members of the Chamber of Deputies at Paris.— Accounts from Dantzic, dated March 31, also mention that an insurrection of a most serious, decided, and extensive nature has broken out in Lithuania, which has been for some time concerting, and which has been powerfully seconded by the Clergy, who, from the pulpit, have called upon their congregations to arm in the sacred cause of independence. A Provisional Government, adds tl;e same authority, has already been organized, and the Russian barbarians are put to death wherever they are met with. There is little or no doubt, we believe, of the truth of this intelligence, which is in every respect cheering to the cause of freedom. Of the Proclamation (inserted in The Sun of Saturday) addressed by General Jiiii4 - ALOFF to the Russians, calling on them to come forward and demand a Constitution front the Emperor NICHOLAS, we have no fur ther mention. On the state of affairs in Italy some doubt yet hangs. It is rumoured, how ever, that on the morning of the 27th of March, the Austrian General, in attempting to take the position of the Patriots by assault, was, after some hours' hard fighting, compelled to retire upon Rimini, leavit:g 1,000 dead, wounded, and prisonets, with the field, to the insurgents. It is said that immediately after this defeat the Austrian Government was compelled to send off for further reinforcements. ivAksAw, AtAIiCH 31.—The correspondence with the Russian Com mander-in -Chief, published by our Genera lissimo, contains, besid es the two letters published in our last, th e fpllowin'g .3. Letter from the Generalissimo to Field Marshal Count Diebitscb, dated the 19th of March, in which General Skrzynecki observes, that the Field Marshal has not replied to him himself, but only sent him an answer through the Quartermaster -General Count Mycielski ; however, he will consider this merel • as a formality, and declares on his side that Y be will diplomaticact only with the frankness of a soldier, and therefore persists his resolution, which, in in to-the g enerous h eart of the his Sovereign, because th e so l e object of it is to p revent the farther sheddi ng o f t h e bl ood of two nations which w ere destined to love and esturn each other. Hereupon he again contradicts the opinion expressed. in the letter of General Neidhardt that the Polish revolution was the work only of some hot-headed youth; and affirms that it was chiefly caused by the fear that the Constitution would be entirely abolished. This leads the writer to call to mind hi. Ala eAy the Emperor Alexander, and affirms that the Polish aation recollects with the greatest gratitude all that it re ceived from that Monarch, and honours it also in his suc cessor • he, therefore, expresses a wish that his Majesty, the ri • i g Emperor, had . been pleased to appear in per son capital of the kingdom, in order to put an end to the evils of war. If kis.Majesty had .appeared as a fa ther in the midst of the. Senate, the Chamber of Deputies, and t earmy, and solemnly pledged his royal word to the Po -lis n to maintain . its sights, Poland, proud , of such cot - nee, would have thrown itself into the arms of its fa ther, and received with gratitude all the blessings of peace which he brought to his children. With respect to that passage in General Neidhardt's letter, which says that the act declaring the throne vacant had dissolved every connection between the Russian au thorities and the individuals who joined in that act, an! that it meat first of all be revsked, General Skrzynyclii observes, that such a rev4tion cannot he made without exposing the Polish nation to the reproach of the most culpable precipitation, unless it receive, from the other party positive security for its right , and privileges. To he concise, the General con tinues, the Field Marshal will allow him to expres's his opinion, that if . both parties were equally convinced of the advantage that would arise from the termination of the war, it was especially incumbent upon the other party to find out a means of putting an end to the contest, which should he equally worthy of the magnanimous heart of the sovereign and the honour of the Polish nation, for what ever the result might be, if the armies of his. Majesty the Emperor should return in the greatest triumph from the war, yet victories and triumphs which ended in the anni hilation of a weaker people could rot be agreeeble to the truly generous feelings of his Majesty. The letter con cludes with the assurance that the Generalissimo has ex pressed himself openly respecting the feelings which the letter of General Neidhardt had excited in him, and that the well-disposed, intelligent, brave part of the nation cherishes the same aectiments of which the Field Mar shal, who was no stranger to the sentiments of humanity, might judge. 4. Letter from Field-Marshal Count Diebitsch to Gen. Geismar, answering that the letter which Messrs. Ko laczkowiski end Count Mycielski, delivered ta the General, had been made known to the Field-Marshal. ff these negociators should again appear at the out-posts, General Geismar might inform them that in the present state of things the Field-Marshal considered their presen•-e as entirely useless, as at the repeated interviews with Count Mycielski in Grochow, he had fully and without reserve expressed his opinion on the unhappy events in Poland, and he could therefore only refer to his verbal declarations, and to the statement of them in General Neidhardt's letter written by his desire to the same officer, and he could therefore repeat, that as his Majesty the_ Emperor and King had promised a complete amnesty and oblivion of the past to all such as returned to their duty, this pro mise would be faithfully observed. The Warsaw Gazette says,--" On the return of better weather, the movements of the enemy's army recommence at several points, and particularly at Stenzyca and Karczew ; the Russians made prepara tions to cross the Vistula, hut, 'as it seems, only to draw our attention from another point, where they really intend ta effect the passage. Last night they sent a fire-ship down the Vistula, from Karczew, probably with the hope of injuring our bridge at Praga, but it ran aground and burnt, without doing any mischief." The Warsaw State Gazette says, " The head -quarters of General Klicki, on the left bank of the Vistula, are now at Lowiez." The Chambers of the Diet had again joint sittings on the 28th, 29th, and 30th, in which the project for giving landed property to the peasants was discussed and adopted. Prince Michael Radziwill, father of his Highness the Prince, Governor of the Grand Duchy of Posen, died on the 2Stb, at the age of 87 years. BERLIN, _A rzuL I.—Letters from Konigsberg say, that on the 28th ult. intelligence was received there from the Russian frontier, that an insurrection had broken out in the Government of Wilna. According to these letters the insurgents having 'obtained possession of the fire-aims, of which they had some time previously been deprived, and which had been deposited at Roanyn were advancing against Georcenburg, for which place a great part of the inhabit ants had fled to the Prussian territory. On their way to Georgenburg, the insurgents are said to have destroyed and plundered several small places in the Government of Wilna, and to have repuheil several bodies of Cossacks sent against them. From Tilsit we hear, that the in surgents have already shown themselves in the vicinity of Tauroggen. WARsAw, Miacu 29.—The Warsaw Courier of the 29th March, says:— " It is reported. that the vanguard of General Uminski has lately had some engagements with the enemy on the Bug, and that a Russian corps attempted to cross the Vis tula, between Pulawy and Stenzyca, but was hindered by our troops. " The Russian Guards are advancing through the province of Augustowo." RIGA, MA RCH 28.—News has been received here that the peasants in Lithuania, in the neighbourhood of hos sienna, (where there are no troops) have risen. Some officers of engineers, who heard of it by chance, were arrived here. The insurrection is said to spread, but the peasants are destitute of all that is most necessary for attack as well as for defence. They have no powder, and neither an officer nor soldiers ; there are, however, some priests, and among them a great number of smugglers. Near Kanen they have cruelly maltreated some custom-house officers. A small detach ment of troops only has been sent from this city, which is considered to be sufficient to put an end to this useless enterprise. BERLIN, APRIL 4.—The Konigsberg Gazette, of the 31 st of March, says according to a letter from Schalen inken some Russian civil officers had arrived there from Genrgenburg, with the coffers of the Custom-hou.e. A number of peasants, eager for pillage, plundered the in considerable depot of arms at Rossina, which was weakly guarded, and drove away the Cossacks. Hereupon the robbers advanced against Georgenbure, and threatened also to plunder that town. They are said to have committed the most fr,ghtful excesses in several ♦illages, and the very fact refutes the report which originated from it, of an in surrection in the government of Wilna. A letter from TiWt of the 30th March says, " On the 29th, in the evening at eight o'clock, the Russian frontier post, with the Imperial troops, that were still in Georgen burg (about 2,000 men, cavalry and infantry), arrived at Schmaleninken, and immediately proceeded on their cv,,y to Wischwill, and are expected here to-day or to-morow." It is said that the insurgents have already taken posses sion of Alexandrow, a league from Georgenburg; . but ac cording to the accounts from Schmaleninken of March 29, they had not yet entered Georgenburg. _ RIL .f.,.

RIGA, Maacit 23.—Convoys of military stores are continually passing through this city proceeding with all expedition to the army in Poland. Several civil officers, appointed under the provisional Government of the eight provinces of Poland, have also passed through on their way to the head-quarters of Diebitech. Several Livonian nobles and retired officers who lived on their estates hasten to re-enter the province. The attempt of the in surgents to organise a Landstt urn in the Waiwodeahip of Augustowo has wholly failed. The Polish officers, with Major Dombrowski at their bead, who were sent from Warsaw, armed indeed some hundred of the Lithuanian peasantry, but they dispersed only on hearing that General Manderstern was advancing from Augtistowo to Suwalki. Major Dombrowski escaped in disguise, abandoning all his effects. WARSAW, Maßcir 28.—Our papers publish a procla mation said to be by General Yerinolow, and endeavour to piove its authenticity, which is extremely problema tical. The library of Princess Czartoriski, chiefly con sisting of valuable inedited MSS. was used for by the Russians on their second entrance into Pulawy ; the furniture, the beautifhl palace, the magnifi cent garden, and the gothic house, were destroyed. In a word, the beautiful Pulawy, which contained the finest national monuments, and had been viewed with delight by many foreigners, noir , presents a frightful scene of de struction. Beaus, APRIL 4.—Letters from different parts of East Prussia, as far as Memel, confirm the accounts of the insurrection of the peasants in Samoglia and Lithuania, and, as similar disorders have arisen within a few leagues of Polangen, measures have probably been since adopted to prevent any interruption of the post with Russia. BERLIN, APRIL 3.—A sanguinary action is said t o have been fought near Grochow on the 30th tilt. F u ll particulars are not known, but the result is generally b,_ lieved to be favourable to the poles. The general subject of conversation here is the insurrection in Lithuania, the consequences of which, it iy feared, will be extremely disastrous to.the Russian army, which received the greater part of its supplies through Lithuania. DA NTZIC, Alaßcn 3l.—The disturbances which have broken out in Lithuania are said to be of a most serious and extensive nature, and have created a powerful sen sation here. The insurrection seems to have been pre pared before hand, and to have been powerfully seconded by tie clergy, who, from the pulpit, called upon the con gregation to arm in the cause of independence. A Pro visional Government has already been organized. ' The Russians are put to death wherever they are met with.

FEB. 3.--Their Imperial Majesties continue their journey and enjoy the best health. They travel in the most private manner possible, wishing to give the least possible trouble to their faithful subjects, by whom they have been received, in every town and village, with every mark of respect and gratitude. On the 19th ult. their Imperial Majesties were at Saint Joao del Rey, where their Majesties were received with the greatest enthusiasm. On the 31st ult. the Portuguese ship Incomparnbel, bound to Lisbon, was detained on suspicion of having -on board smuggled copper coin. On the proper authorities proceeding to search her, thirty odd barrels of copper coin were found and seized. We understand they were des tined for Pernambuco. BUENOS AmES, DEC. 25.--:•A communication from M. Mendeville, the Consul-General of Fiance, to the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, dated Buenos Ayres, 20th inst., states that his Majesty the King of the French has recog nized the independence of the Argentine Republic, and that his Majesty was disposed to enter into a treaty of friendship, commerce, &c. &c., with the united provinces of the River Plate. This communication has caused the greatest joy here. JANUARY 1.-On Wednesday night a courier ar rived from Santa Fe, bringing a bulletin published in that city on the 25th ult., to the effect that Don Francisco Ibarra, the late Commandant-General of the Province of Santiago having raised a body of men, gave battle to Colonel Dera, the Governor of that pro vince, and completely routed him, taking many prisoners and various article., among which are enumerated two carts laden with hand-cuffs and chains. Part of the troops of Colonel DeZa are said to have mutinied, and gone over to Senor Ibarra. It is said, through other channels, that an insurrection lid taken place in the province of Rioja, that Colonel La Madrid, the Governor, had been routed and killed, and that popular commotions had taken place at San Luis,' Tucuman, and Salta. We have rtceived Monte Video Papers to the 30th tilt. Don Ricardo Lopez Jordan and some officers had arrived in the Oriental States, and that he and his followers hail delivered up their arms, and solicited the protection of the Oriental Government, JANUARY B.—The week has passed without any ad . - dition to the news we communicated in our last numbrr, except that the province of Entrerios is stated to be in perfect tranquillity, and likely to remain so. We have nothing to report from Cordova or the interior, the next intelligence, we should think, from thence, will be most important, as deciding whether General Paz, in bis quality of. Protector of the nine allied irrovinces, will think it requisite to advance his force in order to support the pretensions, and endeavour to reinstate Colonel Dezt in his office as a Governor of the province of Santiago del Estero. Many think that he will, at all risks, undertake this expedition, as his not doing so would be a confession of weakness, which, under present circumstances might prove of serious consequence to him and the political que s . tion or party of which lie is the great support. The interior provinces now present a perfect -volcano. It cannot he long before'something decisive takes place. Would to God that this unhappy dispute between the Unitarian and Federal might be settled without an appeal to arms ; for, as we once before observed, which ever side gains the day, in civil warfare the country is always the sufferer—a country too which, were it not for these do mestic dissentions, possesses every qualification to become powerful and happy. But we fear that the dispute has gone too far, and engendered too much animosity, to in.. dulge in the hope of a❑ amicable arrangement between the belligerents of the Argentine Republic. We were struck on reading an observation in the Lucero, of the 11th ult., and we insert it now as being applicable to the opinion we have expressed. The remark alluded to is as follows: " For a long time we have flattered ourselves with the hope to see the two parties amalgamate together, and we have always laboured with this feeling ; but after all that we have seen, if our opinion were asked upon the matter, we should honestly reply, that this desire, so ho nourable to those who cherish it, is like the project of perpetual peace, or of an universal language." The patron of a balandra, which arrived yesterday from the Uruguay, states that a part of the troops of the Oriental Republic, in the execution of their orders to disperse any unlawful assemblages of emigrants from this'proviuce, had had a skirmish, in which four of the latter were killed, and that Rosales had been forwarded as a prisoner to Monte Video. This day at half-past one their MAJESTIES ar rived at St. James's Palace from Windsor, which they left a little before eleven o'clock. Th e KING lnd QUEEN rode in the same carriage, escorted by a party of the 9th Lancers. His MAJESTY, who looked in excellent health, re peatedly bowed in acknowledgment of the cheers and salutations of the crowd assembled in the park. Their MAJESTIES entered the Pa lace through the garden gate. A carriage which preceded brought their Royal Highnesses the Princess AUGUSTA and the Landgravine of HESSE HOMBURG. In one which followed were the QUEEN'S ladies in attendance and Prince GEORGE of Cambridge. Parliament reassembles to-morrow after the recess. Among the subjects entered in the pro ceedings of the House of Commons for discus sion to-morrow evening, we find the Stamp Duties, Lord ALTHORP having announced his bite» • tion of bringing in a Bill for their consolidation. As we are ourselves somewhat interested in this matter, and as we have already been beguiled a dozen times in our expectations of seeing the proposed alteration fairly settled, we merely sug gest to the consideration of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the impropriety, not to say inexpediency, of any further delay. We do not accuse the Noble Lord of any intentional delay, knowing full well the many difficulties he has h a d to conten d aga i nst, b ut we do trust that he will at length grapple with the subject, and thereby relieve not only the natural anxiety of the Press, but the just expectation s of the country. We are aware that the proposed reductions in newspaper stamps an d a d vert i sement d uty w ill not take pl ace t ill t h e sth of July, b ut yet i t i s rev}'. . desirable that the matter should be finalliset at 7. rest. While We' are oil this subject we would humbly suggest . to Lord ALTitoftli the expe diency of abolishing the duty on receipts uncle si.tpenee. , The amount derived from twopenny . .and threepenny receipts is, not large—and the annoyance to the public, particularly those classes who can least afford it,is very considerable. Besides, another forcible argument in favour .of conces sion is, that the tax is constantly evaded by thousands who are either unable or unwilling to pay. Die LORD CHANCELLOR arrived in town, this afternoon, at his residence in Berkeley square, from Yorkshire, where he has been since Tuesday. IRELAND.-HORRIBLE MASSACRE. (From the Limerick Chronicle.) Another foul blot this day in the character of the pea santry of Clare—another and more hideous deed of blood to be recorded in the black catalogue of murder and out rage, which have now made the whole county one scene of terror and desolation. Within a few hours after the Representative of his Majesty had passed the borders, and before the Lord Lieutenant had arrived in the chief town of the county, five policemen were brutally murdered in the noon-day by a horde of savages, who absolutely stoned their victims to death on the public road ! This sanguinary outrage thus originated :—Easter Mon day is generally a holiday, or " pattern" (patron-day), in the country; devoted to idle amusements, if not mischievous frolics. On this day the police party at Donlin, which is a silent and remote station in the direction of Ennistimon, had information that emissaries from the insurgents were actively engaged in administering! , unlawful oaths to the peasantry. Five policemen accordingly left the barrack, and came to a house where they actually caught two fel lows in the act of swearing the inmates to the Whiteboy oath. These two they made prisoners, and were bring ing them in custody to Doolin, when the country people assembled in great crowds and attacked the police with stones. The police retreated before the multitude, which soon increased to a moat riotous mob, armed with every sort of missile, which they flung at the party with deadly aim. The police continued firing at. the assailants until all their ammunition was expended. Weak from loss cf blood and the numerous blows received in the conflict, the police new became an easy prey to their enemies, who, rushing down with a horrid yel►, closed upon the unfortunate men in overwhelming numbers, seized their fire-arms, trampled the police to the earth, and literally stoned them to death. The bodies of the five policemen, which presented a most revolting spectacle of barbarity, were removed on Tuesday, and conveyed on cars to Ennis, to be exhibited before his Excellency. On Tuesday the Lord-Lieutenant visited Tulla and other disaffected parts of the country, after which his Excellency returned to Ennis, and dined with M. Finucane, Esq., Provost. The High Sheriff presided at a public meeting in the town to vote a suitable address to the Marquis of Anglesea, on his arrival in Clare. This day, Wednesday, is fixed fcr a general meeting of the Magistrates and gentry to consider the state of the county and make a representa tion to his Excellency on the subject, after which thAt illustrious Nobleman proceeds to Loughcooter Castle, the re.itlence of Lord Viscount Gort. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. New York Papers to the Ist of March (two days later than those previously received), have arrived by the London line-of packet-ship Hannibal, Captain Hebard, at the North and South American Coffee-house. Canton Papers, to the .sth of December, have also been received. CANTON. It is reported that the Mahommedans in the territory of Ele have again rebelled, Chang-wi-hior's son, wife, and brother, having risen to revenge his death. A million of tads have been demanded from the Canton Treasury, to be sent to the seat of war. On the '23d ult. the arrival from England of the Corn. pany's ship Ann and Amelia was announced in Canton, and in a few minutes it was known th a t s h e was th e b earer of orders from the Court of Directors for the retirement from office of the Pre sident and two senior members of the Select Committee. COMMERCIAL REMARKS.—Opium.—.There has been a spirited demand for Pataa and Benares, both for cash and time. Prices have risen from SSO to 885 dollars for cash, but the inquiries have not been so brisk for these last few days. Some sensation has lately been produced in our market by the report of the failure of the Cotton crop at Canton. In one of the northern districts prices have improved. The Select Committee have in creased their exchange with Bengal to 204 real. The holders of raw Silk show a disposition to reduce their prices. The American Papers are void of news.

The Paris accounts this morning state that the proposition to cover the loan of 120,000,000 by voluntary subscriptions, has been received on the 'Change at Paris with the most lively satis faction by every Frenchman. The Chamber of Brokers for Commerce and for Insurances are invited to receive at their offices at the 'Change of Paris sub scriptions at par for the loan of 1:20,000,000, for which there is already opened lists of subscriptions at M. Mallet and Brothers, Fould and Oppenhiem and Co. By the above information it ap pears that the French loan will not be contracted for, but raised by voluntary subscription. There can be very little doubt but that this has been the cause of so considerable an improvement in the French rentes, as well as the favourable news from Poland of the defeat of the Russians.

LONDON MAIL.---It g ives us much pl easure to rind that th e D uke of RI CHMOND has net been alto gether inattentive to the applications from Glasgow, rela tive to the acceleration of the London mail. By the first of a series of measures about to be adopted for accomplish ing the desired object, the mail is expected to arrive at twenty minutes after three o'clock. This is to be-attained by causing the Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Exeter, and Falmouth bags to be transmitted direct to and from these places, instead of, as at prevent, having them sorted at Carlisle, by which a delay of 'twenty minutes is ores sioned. We have no doubt that his Grace will persevere in his exertions till the mail is brought in at one o'clock.— Glasyow Free Press. K. t, 1120 ;,' 106. SMITHFIELD MARKET.

We have hitherto omitted any notice of the weath er, which has been remarkable for its variety. - On Monday the heat was excessive ; on Tuesday the other extreme prevailed, and these " transitions from heat to cold" con tinued up to Thursday night, being equally sudden and unhealthy. This morning another change occurred, the wind was violent, and the rain without intermission, jointly presenting an obstacle to amusement that can be easily understood by those who have encountered a visitation of this kind on Newmarket heath. It was the More to be regretted as the list produced eight races, several of them being admirably contested. The riders had a wretched time of it, their flimsy habiliments afforded but fetble resistance to the rain, which, receiving a powerful im petus from a strong north-easter, cut into them with an effect that jockies only can appreciate, and this they had to endure from twelve o'clock till five. The only race of any actual importance was for the Port Stakes; het e Priam bid his adieu to the Chifneys, softening the effect of the separation by putting into their pockets enough to buy half a dozen pipes of port, besides the further vale dictory trifle of 3,000 guineas. To say that he won his race easy would be to tell what would be taken for granted. He was hard held all the way; and he thus goes into Lord Chesterfield's stable with the well-earned reputation of being the best horse in the kingdom. He has earned for his late proprietors nearly 10,0001. in stakes, independent . of bets ; so that if we say that the Chifneys have netted 30,000/. by him, we shall be speaking within compass. The question now is, " will Lord Chesterfield ever get back his 3,000/. ? We should say, certainly not. Ex perience has clearly shown that if ever a horse is worth that sum, it is before the Derby, for by that time nearly all the three year old stakes are disposed of, and he then has to run for cups, plates, and handicaps, in which latter a Derby winner is sure to be cut down by weight. . The following horsey, like Priam, were soli for large sums after winning the Derby or some other great stakes, and in every instance turned out most unprofitable specu lations to their new masters : Memnon 3,500 guineas. Mameluke 4,000 guineas. ...... 3,000 The Colonel. 4,000 Cedric B,OOO Cetus. 3,000 Longwaist... 3,000 The Mummer.... 1,500 Zinganee 3,000 • Leviathan 2,000 In fact, it would be difficult to name an instance where the experiment has succeeded. Priam's only present en gagement, we believe, is in the Ascot Cup, and it is in, tended to enter him for the Goodwood Cup. If, he rune for the former, which, owing to its absurd conditions . , is not worth his notice, he will have to carry Sibs. extra at Goodwood, and if he does not go for the former, be muse carry 41b. in addition to his regular weight, for winning' the Putt. In addition to this, there is the difference of training, a Matter of more than ordinary importance to a horse accustomed to the peculiar and severe system adopted by the Chifueys. The change in Zinganee's running after leaving their stable, is a care in point. Besides the race mentioned in our report sent off the, race-course this afternoon, the following were decided at a later hour Subscription Plate of 501. D. M.

A Mr. Ilaamr, a horse-dealer of the town, has an aged chesnut mare, fourteen hands and an inch high, which, to an inexperienced eye, would seem to be unable to go at a much faster rate than an amble; but, at a public-house, where the conversation turned upon the merits of various horses belonging to the parties then pre- sent, the owner of the mare above-mentioned offered to bet • 100 sovereigns that she would go over a distance of one • hundred miles in twelve successive hours, in harness.— • This bet was accepted by a hay and straw dealer, named SMITH, and the ground fixed upon was a distance' of twelve miles and a half, commencing at the Bear's Paw, in High Legh, and ending a little on the side of Hohne Chapel, near Knutsford, The betting had been running about even, previous to the race; but yesterday the mate became so great a favourite, that very few bets were made against her on any terms. The owner (a man weighing nine score fifteen pounds) drove her in a gig weighing ' under three cwt. The mare started off precisely at five o'clock in the morning, and came .to the winning-post 24‘ minutes within time, amidst the acclamations of multi tudes of spectators, mostly from this town. The snare was not at all distressed, but was apparently is condition to run the same distance over again, immediately. We have heard it stated, indeed, that aie had, on a former t. ,, -casion, drawn her owner and another iierson in a gig 120 miles in sixteen hours, which, if true, was a much more extraordinary performance than the one which came • off yesterday...-Manchester Guardian of Saturday.
