EP MAJ SE E AS S O T ,T Y I a THEATRE. It is respectfully announced that the OPERA S.EASON ' will COMMENCE on SATURDAY next, the 10th of May, On resuming the performances which have been suspended during the last three years, the Directo: of her Majesty's Theatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera and the public, that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for this establishment that high position it so long maintained ; and ho trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more prosperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour and support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to be reminded were for so many years accorded to a brilliant and • successful management. The secession, in 1847, of many of those performers who had long been attached to the Opera Nouse was the corn • mencement of a long and arduous struggle to maintain the • fortunes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of four successive competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upon the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled to retire from the contest. From that time to the present Mr. Lumloy's efforts have been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient home. He has received liberal encouragement from every ' side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support from a quarter where the refinements of art and taste never fail to find a patron, he is now enabled gratefully to announce the immediate resumption of performances. At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an English public. Of these the elite have been secured for the present season. Her Majesty's Theatre is marked out by its size, its sitna ' Con, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera. In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to surpass every other stage in Europe. In consequence of some happy accident of construction a result has been attained that science has failed to explain, and that no architect could engage to reproduce, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate vocalisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re motest recesses of the vast edifice. The arrangements completed and in progress, both in Opera and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought worthy of the former reputation of the Theatre, and of the just ex pectations of its distinguished supporters. In consequence of the late period at which it was resolved to open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is hoped they will even now bo found, are not yet fully com pleted ; and negotiations arc in progress from which impor tant accessions are expected. The following arrangements have been completed OPERA. MADAME ALBON I, Her first appearanee in London these five years. MDLLE. PICCOLOMONI, Her first appearance. MDLLE. GIUDITTA RIZZA, MDLLE.

Peace has been ratified, and a Day of Thanks giving been ordered. If we could say, with the late DANIEL O'CONNELL, " Thank you for nothing !" it were well. But we are called on to return thanks for having entered into a War full of just promise—only to be disappointed ; and now to return thanks for gross—for wilful mis management of that War, and to thank Heaven for the sad loss of many brave men and the degradation of our country, purposely perpe trated by parties who cannot boast a drop of English blood in their veins ! Yesterday was observed as a solemn Day of of Thanksgiving in the United Kingdom ! Every Christian congregation throughout the length and breadth of the land was invited to express its gratitude to the " ALMIGHTY " for having caused War to cease, and restoring Peace to the People ! This day both Houses of Parliament will be called on to declare that they " have learned with joy and satisfaction, that her MAJESTY has been enabled to re-establish Peace on conditions honour able to her MAJESTY'S Crown, and which so fully accomplishes the great object for which the War was undertaken I " With the thanksgiving to the DEITY we have nothing to complain. Whether it be His will to exalt or to chasten, we must still humbly and submissively express our thanks for the manifold blessings which, in His infinite mercy, he has been pleased to accord. To HIM our praise and gratitude are ever due under any and every circumstance. But we con fess that we cannot quite approve of attempting to convert that feeling of religion entertained by the great body of the people into a political engine, to be used for the purpose of influencing public opinion before the terms of the Treaty have been fully discussed, and before it is known whether we should indeed congratulate ourselves on what has taken place. There are no restrictions, however, affecting the consideration of Parliamentary thanks to the Executive fur that which has been effected with out the knowledge or sanction of the hereditary and representative branches of the Legislature. We may therefore fairly and impartially consider the question in all its details, and inquire what is there to occasion that extrav:igant " joy and satis faction" which they are called on to express ? What is there to lead them to suppose that Peace has been re-established on conditions honourable to her MAJESTY'S Crown ? or that the objects of the War have been fully, or at all, accomplished ? Is it because the lives of some seventy-five thousand of the best and bravest of our brethren have been fruitlessly sacrificed ? that their hon oured remains now lie mouldering in a distant land ? and that their surviving relations still mourn the irreparable losses they have sustained Is it for the one hundred millions of pounds sterling uselessly squandered ? for the almost fabulous amount, equal to nearly two years of the ordinary revenue of the nation, wrung from' the hard hands of our over-burdened tax-payers, without obtaining honour for the past, security for the future, or even the promise of a single shilling of indemnity for our profuse and lavish expenditure ? Is it for the formation of a new unholy alliance, by which conspiring despots may be enabled to paralyse the energies and defeat the efforts of the aspirants for freedom, of any who endeavour to cast off the yokes that have become intolerable, and who are prepared to lay down even life itself to preserve their wives and children from the de gradation they have themselves endured ? Is it because the time-honoured constitution of England may be subverted or altered to suit a German model ? that the shadow behind the Throne may be enabled to carry out his designs, and to extend the influences already paramount in the Cabinet, and the Horse Guards, to every national institution ? Is it because the functions of Parliament have been abrogated ? because the assent of the legiti mate guardians of the public purse has been deli berately and systematically dispensed with, and the prerogatives of the Crown have been enhanced, so as to assimilate them to the times of the TUDOR, dynasty, when Parliament had merely a veto, but no separate pow er ? Is it because unhappy and deeply-injured Poland has been treated with insolent ne , iliacnc . e and contemptuous indifference ? because her very existence has been ignored—and her glorious and magnanimous children are still permitted to linger out their lives in poverty and exile, far from their fatherland—the more loved and cherished for its unmerited misfortunes ? Is it because the chains have been more closely rivetted on the gallant Magyars, and they are bereft of the hope by which they have hitherto been animated ? Because the forces of Russia, "Laughter"—c CheersandLaughter"" Loud Cheers and Laughter !" These were among the interruptions of the speeeli delivered in the House of Commons, on Thursday evening, by Lord PAL MERSTON. And no wonder : for it was so funny, the subject under discussion—so funny !It was about—the Fall of Kars ! It was about several months of dreadful suffering in a beleaguered city—suffering which, thanks be to GOD, has been but seldom paralleled. It was about the torments endured by a handful of heroic men— abandoned by their friends, assailed by their enemies, scourged by pestilence, desolated by famine. What a capital joke ! It was about the miseries endured by our own gallant WILLIAMS, and borne up against so long, but alas ! in the end so unavail ingly, by his dauntless companions in misfortune. How droll ! It was about the agonies of a garri son surrounded by a hostile army in the depth of a Caucasian winter, without food, without cloth ing, without ammunition, without a hope of as sistance, without a chance of even the most tardy extrication. Surely the very pith of the absurd, the very marrow of tho comic, the very cream of the ludicrous ! Kars is invested by the Russians under MOURAVIEFF. It is held through frost, through fever, through hunger 19y the Turkish garrison under WILLIAms. It is at last stricken down, not by its assailants, but by absolute star vation. The key of Asia is lost to the Allies. The prestige of England is gone for many a long day in Armenia. WILLIAMS is a Citptive—MOURAVIEFF a conqueror. A glorious and historic defence is crowned by a pitiable and irreparable Capitulation. Viscount PALMERSTON cracks a sly joke or two upon these peculiarly humorous occurrences, and the House of Commons (listening to him on the broad grin), at the close of each grotesque sentence, falls straightway into convulsions of merriment 1 "Laughter"—" Cheers and Llughter"—" Loud Cheers and Laughter !" It was precisely the same a year or two ago, when the hearts of all Englishmen outside the Houses of Parliament were thrilling with anguish over the sufferings of our brave army far away on that miserable, muddy encampment before the terrible earthworks of Sebastopol. It was known then, far and wide, how our gallant soldiers were falling by tens, and by scores, and by hundreds, in platoons and battalions—not so much before the shot and shells of the foe as under the deadly influence of incompetent Generals and of a bung ling Commissariat. Everybody—even that absurd fellow Boz, has lately held up so delightfully to popular ridicule, the hypothetical "schoolboy " who is supposed to know everythingeverybody, we say, knew then with painful certainty how rapidly and hopelessly our sons, and fathers, and brothers were perishing by over-work and under feeding in the Crimea, by every species of fatal disease and by all kinds of agonising wounds at Scutari. We all knew it. Eagland knew it. The House of Commons knew it. Viscount PaL MERSTON knew it. And yet what occurred at that very time within the walls of the Legislature ? Why—it cannot so soon bo forgotten—scarcely could the Comic Premier rise from his seat on the Treasury Bench, before kis supporters in the background and below the gangway, to the right and to the left, were sniggering as the people in the pit of the Adelphi or of the Haymarket begin sniggering whenever Mr. KEELEY or Mr. BIICKSTONE steps with a grave face before the footlights. Lord PALMER STON could hardly open his lips but what there was laughter ! l ou d l au ghter ! renewed laughter ! prolong e d laughter ! As it was then—so it is now. The Prime Minister of England was so droll (the House of Commons thought) when the British army Was perishing from the face of the which once crushed their liberties, may again be tnade available for a similar purpose ? Is it bccause Italy is left, to its fate, and the quasi independent States are still to be occupied and controlled by French and Austrian bayonets ? earth-10,000 ! 20,000 ! 30,000 !—between tifase horrible mud-roads to Balaklava and those terrible trenches in front of Sebastopol ! He is still the same humorous, delightful creature (the House of Commons thinks)—" the merry old gentleman," familiar to the Artful Dodgers of the Legislature—he is still the same charming agree able wag—now that people are debating about the Fall of Kars, about the agonies of famine endured for many dreadful we3lcs by its heroic garrison, about the infamous abandonment of General WILLIAMS and his glorious companions-in-arms by an irritable diplomatist and a wholly unscru pulous and unconscientions Government. What a spectacle—this—for all the rational men, and women, and children throughout Christendom ! Is it bacausa the bravo Circassians are left to the tender mercies of the AUTOCRAT ? because the united armies of the Crimea and of Georgia can now operate with irresistible force against the Caucasian tribes, and overthrow the obstacle that so long proved a bulwark against Muscovite ag gression in Asia ? I 3 it because those who, unfortunately for them selves, sympathised with the Allies, have been left with the mere paper promise of an amnesty, but without any efficient or satisfactory guarantee against the cruel punishments to which they may be subjected by the myrmidons of an enraged despot ? because the Western Powers have disre garded their solemn obligations to these oppressed and long suffering peoples ? Is it because the maritime supremacy of England has been wickedly and wantonly relinquished ? because the rights for which NELSON fought the battle of Copenhagen -1 which England maintained inviolable against the armed neutrality of Russia, of Sweden, and of Denmark, in defence whereof our greatest admiral declared that we would sacrifice our last ship, our last seaman,. and our last pound, have been needlessly obliterated with a stroke of the diplomatic pen ? Is it because a princess of England has been sacrificed as completely as IPHIGENIA at Aulis, or as JEPHTHA'S daughter, as a makeweight, and a further proof of our subserviency to Germanism ? of swallowing the mysterious condiment known as "German Paste ?" because England may at some future time be annexed to Prussia, and placed under the government of a Prussian Viceroy ? Is it because Lord PaorEasrox, the new Knight of the Garter, the recipient of the reward accorded to Lord ABERDEEN when dis missed from office by an overwhelming ma jority of the House of Commons, has shown himself to be no longer the Minister of England, but the Minister of Germany, of Russia, and of France, because he has relinquished the indepen dence that prompted the manly sentiment that England has no German or Portuguese cousins ? Is it because LEOPOLD has triumphed, because he has elevated the COBURG influence, and may obtain Austrian and Prussian aid, to the esta blishment of a kingdom of Thuringia, and the mediatising of German princes less fortunate in their matrimonial alliances ? These are questions that must be answered in Parliament this evening, before the fulsome Address proposed can be sanctioned. There are many others no less pertinent that will arise in every inde pendent mind. We have long rendered an inde pendent support to Lard PALMERSTON, because we believed him to be a truly English Minister. We deeply lament that he has abandoned his vantage ground. When 83 scandalously turned out in 1851, the feelings of the people were with him. Such will not be the case the next time. He may not have the opportunity of making an appeal to the country, for we have seen as power ful an Administration summarily expelled from office in 1834. Let him, then, be warned in time, and, ere it be too !ate, determine rot to put his trust in Princes, but in those who will not betray or abandon him so long as he merits their support. LATEST NEWS.

The King has conferred the Order of the Black Eagle on his Majesty the Emperor of the French. The King closed the session of the Diet yes terday. His Majesty said that owing to the mo derate pretensions of the belligerent powers a treaty of peace, so ardently desired, had been con cluded, in concert with Prussia. Peace had al ready diminished the dearness of food, and there was a likelihood that an abundant harvest would restore cheapness and plenty. He complimented the Chambers on the activity they had shown in the conduct of their legislative labours, and con cluded by advising them to cultivate concord among themselves, so that the country, in friendly rivalry with other nations, might ba enabled more and more to develope the resources of peace. The Russians have commenced the evacuation of the fortresses of Renai and Ismail. The jour nals of St. Petersburg publish a circular addressed to the heads of Governments and to the marshals of the nobility, recommending them to seek out new branches of industry, at the same time that they maintain the serfs in their obedience to the tobles. AUSTRALIA. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The Moniteue of Sunday contains a letter ad dressed to the Prefect of Police by the Minister of the Interior, in obedience to an order of the Em peror. It is there said that since the powerful impulse given to national industry by the Emperor, a class has arisen of men who mingle in affairs and undertakings for which concessions are necessary, and pretend their great influence in high places, their secret intelligence, the power of raising diffi culties or causing them to disappear. Of these pre tended personal influences, it is said, a complete trade is made, The Emperor desires the public to understand that in matters which concern the na tion personal influence is proscribed, and he de sires that the police will use all diligence to bring under the operation of th e pena l code persons offending as described.

"You have subjected the Budget that was laid before you to a careful and thorough investigation. In giving your constitutional consent as you have to the various estimates without alteration you have recognised that the expenditure has been apportioned with conscientious economy to the wants of the State. The same con sideration has led you to vote the extraordinary ad dition to various taxes for this year also.

TURIN, May 3.—The O f ficial Gazette of Parma denies the fact of any augmentation of Austrian troops in the Duchy of Parma. Tae ruches% Regent has gone, leaving the exer cise of civil authority in the hands of the Austrian military commander. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa says that the differences between Naples and the Western Powers are in course of arrangement, and that an SPAIN. MADRID, MAY 2.—The Gazette publishes the statutes of the CAtalonian Credit Mobilier. The Duke of Victory, after haying inaugurated the works of the railway from Valladolid to Bur gos, has left the latter city for Logrono and Sara gossa. The Vienna Gazette publishes the treaty of peace in its number of the 30th April. The decree which renders the treaty obligatory for the Austrian em pire is drawn up in Latin. The treaty itself is published in French and in German. Notes will be exchanged between the Belgian and French Governments on the subject of the press in Balgium, and no doubt with reference to the observations of M. Walewski during the con ferences on the same subject. Indeed a visit from King Leopold to Paris is not considered unlikely. It appears that the Woronzoff Palace of St. Petersburg has been engaged for three years for the new French Ambassador. Count Orloff was so good as to act on the occasion, and secured it for his friend and admirer, M. De Morny. The rent of the palace is for the first year 50,000 f., and for the last two 40,000 f.

BERLIN, May 3.—The following is the trausla • tion of the speech which the King delivered this afternoon on closing the Chambers : "Illustrious, noble, and dear sirs of both Houses of the Diet,— " When, 5 months back, I bid you welcome from this place, European relations were still involved in the grav est complications. Their issue was still shrouded in the obscurity of the future ; and it was not impossible that dangers and sacrifices, which the gracious providence of God had till then averted from our country, might havo been in store for us. Since then, in consequence of the wise moderation of the belligerent Powers, the long desired work of peace has been happily brought to a con clusion, with the common consent and co-operation of my Government. . . . . " Ttie high prices of the main necessaries of life that in the commencement of the winter filled my heart with care and anxiety, have been felt to a painful extent In every province of the monarchy. There have, however, been, to my great satisfaction, many openings forremunerative lab ,ur. Everywhere that dearch or scarcity was to be ap prehended my Government has been unremitting in its en deavours to anticipate and prevent the evil, and has met with powerful assistance —one that must be recognised with every feeling of gratitude, in the ready and willing liberality of my people. Since then, in consequence of the realisation of our aspirations for peace, the prices of the necessaries of life have considerably sunk, and we may venture to indulge in the expectatio❑ of a satisfac tory harvest, which, should God bless the land with, will put an end to the scarcity. " Your labours, gentlemen, in the session which we are now closing, have shown themselves fruitful and suc cessful in many important branches of legislation. " With your co-operation it has been possible to im prove our charter in various essential points. "The legislation for the communes, in all provinces of the monarchy, has also been materially advanced. "The law regulating the local authorities in rural districts in my Eastern Provinces will, I trust, contri bute to the settlement of the organisation of tae rural police in a manner which, while it carefully respects old institutions, will develops itself in a manner in unison with the requirements of the present time. " In the law for the revaluation of landed estates, on the occasion of the customary partition of inheritances, in Westphalia, a method has been found by which the injurious breaking up of landed property into small plots may, without violation of the primitive customs still prevalent in that portion of the population, be counter. acted. "In the framing of the laws on occasion of so•.ne changes in the penal and correctional legislatior,, as well as in the coarse of proceeding observed by the highest court of law in the country, the varied and manifold experience that has been obtained in the course of many years' practice have met with due. considera tion. " The !proposals for the construction of important riles of railway in various portions of the Monarchy have met at your hands with ready votes of the rums. vary funds for their construction or for the guarantee of ROYAL VISIT TO THE ADEL= THEATRE. The public will be gratified to learn that her Majesty the Queen has announced her intention to honour the enterprising proprietor of the Adelphi with a visit this evening. The pieces selected for performance are "Like and Unlike," " Urgent Private Affairs," and " How's your Uncle I" in which Mr. Webster, Madame Celeste, and Mr. Wright have been so remarkably successful. This will be the third time her Majesty has witnessed the performance of " Like and Unlike "—a fact highly creditable to the management. LLOYD'S SHIPPINI—(This Day.)

The Wizard of the North achieved a well-deserved triumph at Newmarket. They who deemed Fazzoletto a mere money horse were wof ally mistaken, and they who laid long prices against him, and neglected to get out, had to pay dearly for their whistle. The supposed lameness of the horse, too, completely deceived the touts. That Fazzoletto walked lame after galloping is unquestionable ; but only rheumatic affection causes him to limp, and when warmed up to his work all traces of the disorder quickly disappear. Lord Derby arrived at Newmarket on the night preceding the race, and witnessed his horse's success. The "ovation" which he received on the course must have been not a little gratifying; so warm and c)rdial a demonstration was never before made on Newmarket Heath. Trainer and jockey also came in for a full share of applause, and this public rec)gnition of their merit and popularity was richly deserved. Aldcroft was, perhaps, justified in making the com plaint against Fazzoletco, but Lord Glasgow would only have acted in a gracious and courteous manner towards Lord Derby had he withdrawn the objection, especially, too, as he could not have taken anything by his . motion, even if the allegedcross had been proved, and as the chance of Yellow Jack was in no way affected by the swerving of Fazzoletto. The precedent, however, established in the Cannobie case would seem to render the win-tye or wran gle principle the rule and not the exception. Although no person is inclined to doubt the justice of the stewards award in the case of Glasgow v. Derby, yet the ver dict is irreconcilable with that given in the case of Pedley v. Lord John Scott. By the way the particulars of the Saraband and Cannobie affAir are likely to come before the public in a court of law. Mr. Pedley is determined to prosecute his claim to the stakes, whilst report says that a noble lord who sat in judgment on the case, and whose ,indiscreet conduct called forth many severe remarks from all classes of sporting men, is about to com mence an action for libel against a weekly paper which is distinguished for the fearless manner in which it ever ex poses all abusesand mal-practices connected with the turf. Racing-men are on the tip-toe of expectation, and are deeply interested in the tarn which the affair is likely to take, as on the trial, it is supposed, certain peculiar dis closures will be made, not only with reference to the Burwell Stakes, but also relative to the Woodyates sta ble, from which establishment Henry Goater has been discharged under circumstances of particular harshness. To return to the Two Thousand.—The prejudice which existed against Fazzeletto was immediately removed by the style in which he achieved his victory. He seemed in my opinion to win all the way, albeit many persons believe that the fact of his swerving at the finish proved beyond a doubt that he won with difficulty. My conviction is, however, that the horse won with ease. Should he be the trusted representative of the Whitewall Stable for the Derby, I shall be dis inclined to stand against him. That he is a good horse is undeniable. The running of Manganese on Thursday, however, has caused attention to be again directed to Fly-by-Night, who is reported all r:ght, -and doing good work. Now that Wentworth has been exposed, and some idea, certainly not very favourable, has been afforded of his racing ability, I shall not be surprised to see the Whitewall champion as good a favourite as anything on or before the day. I have fre quently hinted a doubt and hesitated a dislike about Wentworth, simply because on principle I am disinclined to trust "dark horses." Experience has proved how judicious it is to adhere to the rule which I have laid down in this respect. Wentworth is unquestionably a beautiful horse, built more for speed than endurance, but in my opinion unsuited for a Derby course. That he had his opponents beat for the Newmarket Stakes some distance from home is undeniable, but that he made a bad and unsatisfactory finish of the race is also beyond a doubt. He did not, in fact, win like a "flyer." Still many plausible reasons have been adduced to account for the slovenly manner in which he palled through. It is said that Alfred Day, when he found he had the race safe, stopped Wentworth, who, being a sluggish horse, re quired a good deal of rousing to "get him out " again. In my opinion his success was scarcely so satisfactory as that achieved by Yellow Jack last year over Secret. I admire the pluck, however, which induced John Day to bring out his crack, and the fact of allowing him to run showed that he possessed a large amount of confidence in the prowess of his horse. Still, I fancy that Mincepie has deceived the Danebury party, and induced then to over-estimate the ability of Wentworth. By the time these notes meet the reader's eye, the annual stir and bustle of preparation for the " Roodee Revels" will be rousing the quiet inhabitauti of the antiente citie of Chester. The noise and the clatter of the incoming visitors are doubtless already echoing through the quaint old rows and narrow streets, and by midnight the to wn will be chokeful. A programme of more powerful and varied attractions is seldom com piled for the delectation of racing men, and the untiring industry of Mr. Tophatn will doubtless be rewarded by a most busy and successful meeting. Fine weather only seems to be required to effect a cmsumucation so ear nestly to be wished. Should One Act be brought out for the Palatine Stakes she ought to have little difficulty in defeating her opponents. Should she, however, be reserved for the grand coup on Wednesday, I shall expect either Theodora, or Bonner and Buxom to win. For the Chesterfield Handicap twenty-six horses are weighted. Fisherman and First Fly are my fancies. If the running at York afforded any Criterion of ability Blink Bonny will win the Mostyn Stakes. I am in clined to award second honours to Lambaurn. For the Wynnstay Handicap I select Ellermire, Lord Alfred, and Imposture. In turf phraseology the Chester Cup may be called an " open race." Until within the last seven days specu lation had been " cabin'd, cribbed, confined, hound in by saucy doubts and fears," but its range has now been materially widened by the introduction of new favourites and by the support conceded to certain outsiders. Imo gene, One Act, and Yellow Jack occupy the front rank in the list of quotations, and their respective pretensions are certainly well tounded Yellow Jack's running at Newmarket is a proof of the forrni lableness of his chance. He is a game sluggish horse, and requires determined riding ; he will have the benefit of Fordham's assistance, and with such a "man jockey" up his backers will have no cause for fear. The success of One Act at York en titles her to the position which she holds in the betting. I have no fancy for Aldford, and, despite his light weight, I shall not be gulled by the boasted superiority of his chance. Imogene is a fine mare,' with a long sweeping stride, and will bring more credit to her stable than did Rhesus. It would occupy too much space to refer separately to each animal likely to assemble at the post ; I shall therefore express my opinion as briefly as possible. From the top weights I select Typee and Hungerford ; from the middle weights, Courtenay and Imogene ; and from the light weights, Yorkshire Grey, Yellow Jack, Stork, and One Act. Certain horses that now occupy prominent positions in the market I have passed over in silence, because I deem them totally unworthy of the support which they have received. The three animals which I am inclined to stand on against the field are— YELLOW JACK, STORK, and ONE ACT. I shall make a venture with old HUNGEMFORD for a " cockboat." The Triennial Produce Stakes, for 4-yrs-old, will go to John Osborne. The Welter Cup will be carriei off by either Eulo gist or One Act. Whether Artillery will be brought out for the Dee Stakes is somewhat doubtful. Eilington is also amongst the nominations, and the appearance of either of these animals in the lists would excite considerable interact. Should both run I shall give the preference to Artillery. In their absence Viscount and o.ner Pacha will be the most noteworthy names. Lord Alfred, Mosquito, Berezina, and One Act seem to have the best of the weights for the Marquis of West• minster's Plate. I shall not at present refer to th e races appo i nted to be decided on Friday. May 5. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT CHESTER. CHESTER CCP HORSES.

The country markets held on Saturday were for the most part steady for whout, and prices had an upward t3ndency. The demand for barley and flour ruled firm a full quotations. In the value of other produce very little change took place. The continental markets are firm and the value of wheat is well supported. As yet very little business has been dine in Russian ports on English account. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports were liberal, viz., 20,329 quarters of wheat, 5,679 barley, 28,583 oats, 1,630 beans, 15,457 linseed, 13,457 rapeseed, 3,532 sundry seeds, 5,228 sacks, and 8,493 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market, this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, the arrivals of English wheat were on a veil moderate scale, but in full average Condition. The shoal of samples being small, and the attendance of buyers on the increase, the demand for all kinds of wheat, of home produc, ruled very firm, and prices were from is. to 2s. per quarter higher than on Monday last. Foreign wheat, the show of which was slightly on the increase, was in steady,though not in very brisk, demand, at very full prices; indeed, in some instances, tine qll 3l i* ties realised is per quarter above last week's rates. Seve• ral parcels of low wheats were taken by the distillers. Floating cargoes of grain were rather higher. We were much better supplied with barley than fa some weeks past : the trade was, therefore, less active; nevertheless, the late improvement in value was supported; for malting parcels, grinding and distilling sorts were le per quarter lower. The malt trade may be called steady at late rates. Owing to the large imports from abroad, the oat trade was dull, and damp samples were Gs per quarter lower W purchase. Beans changed hands steadily, at fall quotations. In peas, very little was doing at last month's currency. The flour trade was firm. Country and foreign quali ties advanced is to 2s.
