MONEY MARKET COIVE INEL.? AGE24Oa Two The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly but firmly, and all descriptions were un changed from the full current rates of Friday. The sales consisted of 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export. The Railway Share Market closed with a steady aspect, at a slight improve ment. The Paris weekly commercial report states that, notwithstanding the restrictions in discounting commercial paper, it is with satisfaction they re mark a decided return to activity in some of the regular branches of trade. The retail dealers of novelties are busy, and the manufacturers of fancy goods are beginning to experience a return of pur chasers to their warehouses. Other branches of trede . are rather dull. Some foreign orders have been received by the manufacturers of Lyons, but the failure of a large house at New York has de pressed the silk trade a little and is expected to be followed by others. The woollen and cotton manufacturers are active, but their operations are restricted in consequence of the continued high prices of the raw materials. In the spirit markets the tendency to rise has been checked, and some good qualities have been offered at lower prices without finding purchasers. The progress of the wool sales at London has given firmness to the French markets generally, which has been further maintained by the accounts from Germany. Alto gether the present position of trade in Franc e i s much more satisfactory than was expected, after the perturbations in the money markets. The last return of the Bank of France, also, has contributed to sustain the buoyancy of commerce, and any fears of further stringency at the close of the year are not entertained. According to the advices from New York, per steamer Arabia, the Money Market in that city, at the latest date, was becoming tighter, the demand for discount, the rates for which had advanced, having increased. The last Banks' return exhibited further contraction on the part of the managers, the aggregate amount of the loans and discounts, compared with the previous statement, being smaller by about 202,8781. The specie, oas ing to the large receipts from California, showed a slight augmentation, although the shipments were con siderable. Trade continued brisk, and the balance of trade was against this country. In the week ending the 30th ult., the exports exceeded the imports by about 189,7531., the former being valued at $3,414,566. On the 14th inst. Mr. M. Slaughter, the secre tary of the railway department of the Stock Ex change, addressed a letter to the Great Northern Railway Company, stating that parties were apply ing about their stock, aid suggesting to Mr. Mowatt, the secretary of that company, the pro priety of giving information on the subject. The following is Mr. Mowatt's reply, which has been posted on the Stock Exchange this morning : " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th inst., for which I am obliged. "The current work of the registration department has unavoidably been interrupted by the painful discoveries which have been made within the last few days, but every exertion vvill be made to extinguish the arrears of work in hand, and I hope that all transfers and stock certificates now in the office will be sent out on Monday, but certainly on Tuesday. "For the satisifaction of individual proprietors I shall be happy to answer any inquiry, if the parties will favour me with a letter, stating briefly the particulars and amount of the Stock in respect of which they seek infor mation.—l am, Sir, its.. Oltigned) "J. B. MOWATT. "Mihill Slaughter, Ebq., Secretary of the Railway Department, Stock Exchange. " Nov. 15, 1856." The Funds have been firmer, but the market is exceedingly quiet. A few dealings have been re corded for money, but the time operations are con tracted. The intelligence from Paris relative to the Money-market is more favourable, and the tendency► of the quotations is rather upwards. Consols for transfer have been 922 t and 92i 93, and for account 93 to 93i. The New 3 per Cents. have been 912 to 92, and the Reduced 911 I. Bank Stock is 215, and India Stock ns. Exchequer Bills are is. dis. to 2a. prem., and the Bonds 982 The Foreign Stock Market continues remark ably quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents, have improved per cent. to 90-1 for the account, and the 4 per Cents. Guaranteed are firm at 100. Transactions in Sardinian 5 per Cents. have been closed at 90 for money. Mexican Bonds are steady at 21k, and D utch 4 per Cent. Certificates at 96. The Railway Share Market is without much variation, but some of the quotations are a shade lower. There are very few transactions, and the market presents a dull appearance. Foreign and Colonial shares are dull. Mines, Banking, an d m i sce ll aneous shares are without any change of importance. 111111M311 FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK, (Front A. ©fetal Li 4.) _ . sank Stock Rnsinbt • d one 15 3 pa Cent. d A n 2 nuttie% .. ...

THE GOLD BULLION ROBBERY. MANSION-HOUSE -(THIS DAY). The two men, Burgess and Pierce, were again placed at the bar, this morning, before the Lord Mayor for further examination, on the charge of stealing gold bars, Am.rican gold coin, and coupons to the amount of 15,0001, on the South Ea-tern Railway in May, 1855. Greater excitement prevailed throughout the day than on the former examination, and for an hour before the business commenced hundreds of persons had assembled in front of the Mansion-House in the hope of gaining admission to the court, to catch a glimpse of Agar, the principal actor in this adroit and daring affair. The excellent arrangements made prevented the Court from being overcrowded ; and by the kindness of the Lord Mayer and Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, every accommodation was provided for the representatives of the press, and facilities given to the evening papers for the transmission of copy. Mr. Gordon Thompson, deputy chairman of the South-Ea-tern Rail way Company ; Mr. Cross, a director ; and Mr. Smiles, the secretary, were present during the investigation, watching the proceedings on the part of the company. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution as on the former occasions ; the prisoner Burgess was defended by Mr. Lewis, and Pierce by Mr. Wontner. The Lord Mayor took his seat on the bench punctually at 12 o'clock, and Agar, the witness, was immediately put into the witness-box in eustody of a Portland warder, and his examination resumed, commencing with the sale of the gold, which appeared in Thursday's Sun. In con tinuation he said—The money received for the gold so sold was taken to Pierce's house, and he had the greater part of it. Alter this a horse and cart was obtained by Pierce, and we removed the bar gold from his house to mine, at Shepherd's-bush. This was the morning after the robbery in the night. Pierce hired the cart in Grove street, Mornington-square. It was a small shay cart, with a grey horse in it. The gold was in the courier bags, placed in small carpet bags. I rather think the money had for the gold sold was left at Pierce's house, and was kept in a bag. When we got to my house I found Fanny Kay and the servant girl at home. The gold was taken into the front parlour, and placed be hind the door for a short time, and afterwards I took it to my bed room and placed it in a trunk. Pierce only helped me in to the parlour with the gold, and then left with the horse and cart. 100 ozs. of the gold were sold about three or four days after. Pierce and I cut it from one of the leng broad bars of the Aus- tralian gold with a cold chisel and a hammer in the washhouse. The gold was very tough and heard, and it took 15 minutes to cut it off. My hammer was too light for the work, and Pierce got a heavier one, which was bought at Buck's tool shop, in Tottenham•court-road, with which to cut the remainder, as it was wanted for sale or melting, The washhouse was only accessible from the garden ; and to prevent any one seeing what was going on the glass was whitewashed. Fanny Kay, on one or two occasions when we were cutting up the gold, came and asked for a saucepan, or such article as she wanted, when it was given to her, the gold being covered over that she might not see it. Pierce sold the first 100 oz. of gold, but where or to whom he never told me. 3001., I believe, was obtained ' for it, and I think I kept possession of it. After cut• ' ting off the 100 oz. the remainder was melted, Pierce assisting me. The gold was cut up in small quantities, and the stove in the back room on the first floor was taken out, where a furnace was made and the gold melted. Pierce bought the fre-bricks for making the furnace, and brought them to my house in a bag. The bricks produced are those used in making the furnace alluded to, on which were distinctly now to be seen particles of gold adhering to it. I left them in the garden at Cambridge-villa, and I have never seen them from that time till now. We used charcoal and coke in melting it. Two bags were used, one I procured and Pierce the other, which we bought near Wilderness. row. The first lot of crucibles (5 or 6) were bought in St. John's-square, and they were purchased by me and Pierce. It was proposed to melt the gold into an "iron ingot," which was procured at a jeweller's shop near Clerkenwell Church-yard. I think I purchased it ; it was about 3 foot long, 3 or 4 inches wide, and tapering at the bottom. The melting occupied three or four days. On the first day Faany Kay was not there ; we had sent her to see the child who was at nurse, that she might be out of the way; she returned at night. The servant girl at the time had been discharged. On the following day Pierce came in the morning and assisted me in cutting it up and melting it. Fanny Kay was at home that day and provided dinner for us. She came up to the door, but we refused her admission to the room. The melting created& very great heat. Fanny - Ky remarked it, and as we were much heated and in a state of perspiration, it being warm weather, she wished to know what we were about. On one occasion the heat was so groat that we had to put the fire out to prevent the house taking fire. In lifting out one of the crucibles from the fire a piece broke and it fell, and part of the gold ran about the floor and burnt it, and the remainder into a tub of water we had at hand.

I had a quarrel with Fanny Kay, left her, and took lodgings at Kilburn-road ) leaving the furniture with Fanny ; the lodgings I took were about two miles from Kilburn gate. I went there by the name of Adams. I went by that name at Shepherds'-bush, and Fanny Kay as Mrs. I Adams. The gold was afterwards removed by two or , three bars at a time, by me and Pierce, from his house to my lodgings, on the Kilburn-road. Pierce then shifted his residence to Kilburn -villa, and I assisted him in moving his furniture. I then lodged with him, and the gold was taken to Pierce's house in my luggage, which was removed by a horse and cart. I excused my leaving the lodgings by saying I was going to Scotland. The gold remained some time in my trunk, and then Pierce said he would make a hole in the pantry and bury it. He did so, and I saw nothing more of it I afterwards. Th e p antry was underneath the front steps of the house. Abou; three weeks after this I was arrested on the charge for which I am now suffering. Before that some of the gold was sold. First two bars, about 200 oz., at 3/. 2s. 6d. per ounce, I sold to a person by appointment at Dalston. The witness at first oh. jected to name the party to whom it was sold, but Mr. Bodkin said it was necessary. • Witness said he sold it to James Seeward, who is known as a barrister. (Laughter.) Mr. Bodkin—A. friend of Mr. Lewis. (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—lle in known as the King of the Seeward gang. Is ho not ! Witness—YeA. He is a pigeon fancier. Mr. Lewis—And a gold fancier. (Laughter.) Witness—Yes. He resided at Villa-house, \Val worth common. I had known kim before I had transactions with him. I understood he lived by his profession as a barrister. Mr. Bodkin—And bought gold ti • Witness—And bought gold. I met him and the gold was spoken of. He said he could gat rid of it, and an appointment was made to meet him at a public-house near the Dalston.gate. He said he had seen the news papers, and he supposed this was a part of the pro duce of the robbery. I said, yea. [This announcement of Seward's connection with the rob bery appeared to take the prosecution by surprise, and a private conference took place between the witness, the counsel for the prosecution, and the legal advi-ers of the prisoners. A person named Seal was about the time alluded to apprehended by Hayden for having a large quantity of gold in his po-session, but he was discharged as the gold could not be identified.] Witness continued—l took the gold by appointment to a beer-shop called the Alma. He left with the gold, and afterwards returned with the money in gold. I took the gold home to Pierce's house, where we counted it and found it all right. About 1,800/. worth of gold was disposed of in this Way by Seward. I made him a present of a is. or sixpence for his trouble on each occasion, but what he got else I don't know. He did not tell me where he sold the gold. I have told the Court of all the gold sold that I know of down to the time of my arrest. I know a man named Seal, but I never sold any gold to him, nor am I aware he had anything to do with it. The gold sold realised from 2 ; 2001. to 2,3001., and the money was changed with Bank of England notes by Pierce. After that, a rdeet ing of myself, Burgess, Pierce, and Tester took place in Pierce's parlour, at Kilburn-villa. It was stated that the gold had been melted, and how much money there was in bawl. It was divided. Tester had 6001., Burgess 7 001 ., Pierce 6001., an d I bad T w h h e ic d h iv l isio n t oo k p l ace i n no servant, an d I b e li eve put in my trunk, ta 6 hn O ed o . e v shortlyeln w n g a s. after p a l e parted. kept note', t be sent Mrs. Pierce to the theatre that night to be out of the way. 1 continued a week longer with Pierce, and I then went to live with a female named Fanny gcet°e-gre en , an d w as visitedl me there. s C o a m w h p b e n e 1 at was ta a n p l p e r y e - h place, d . P a cl p d i i e i r i When I was arrested Pierce had the remainder of the gold, with, the exception of two or three bars that I had in a trunk at Pierce's ; but I was prevented from selling it by my arrest. The whole of my share of the notes, and some other money was in my trunk, with a Spanish bond for 2001. when I was apprehended, and fell into Pierce's hands. I had before sold similar bonds to Tester for :001. The day I was arrested Pierce walked with me from Stanley-place to Shepherd's-bush. I took the child's perambulator and some clothes, and gave them to Pierce, which he took home. I got inside a buss to keep an appointment, but on my way about four o'clock in the afternoon I was apprehended. After that, 3,0001., which I had in the Stocks, were sold out and brought to me in Newgate. I gave it to Mr. Wontner, who kept it for some little while. He asked me what he was to do with it, and I told him I wished it turned over, and 2,5001., after deducting the expenses of my defence, was given to Pierce's wife to invest it for the benefit of my child and its mother, but he has not done it. I never saw Pierce from the time of my arrest till a few days since in the dock I have received letters from him since I have been at Portland with a portrait of my child. The canvas bags were destr rayed. A roand wooden mallet about the size of a pint pot was used to open the boxes it wag thrown over the pier at Dover the night of the robbery with the wedges. Pieree kept all the money I had in my trunk, the 600/. notes, some gold and gold bars. lex pected when I was apprehended he would have come to me, and have made arrangements with me, but he never came near me. He had the whole of the money. When at the coffee-house near the Southampton Arms, Camden town, the master of the house bad a long conversation with me in Pierce's absence. It is about three weeks ago that I first made a statement in reference to this robbery to Mr. Reed, the governor at Portland. This finished the examination in chief of this witness. Mr. Wontner said that, as the case must go elsewhere for further investigation, he should best consult hi s client's interest by abstaining from cross-examining the witnesP. Mr. Lewis said be felt bound to pursue a contrary course, and that he must proceed to cross•eaamine the witness at once. Mr. Wontnei said he was instructed by Pierce to state that the 2,500/. handed over to him for invest Ment for Fanny Kay and Agar's child had been invested by him in Turkish Bonds, and that they were taken pos session of by the officers when he was apprehended Mr. Bodkin said that that statement did not tally with the notions entertained by the prosecution of the facts. The Court adjourned at 2 o'clock for a few minutes. [We shall give the result in our late edition ] POLISH MtsETING. THE LATE LORD DUDLEY STUART. To-day being the anniversary of the death of Lord Dudley Stuart, the Polish exiles assembled at Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's, to commemorate this melancholy event by paying a tribute of respect and gratitude to the memory of the departed champion of the Polish cause. Major Gietgud occupied the chair, and opened the proceedings by a review of the private virtues and public character of the departed nobleman, and of his entire devotion to Poland, and the lose it has sustained by his premature death. Major SzurxzEwsKr then rose and spoke as follows : Another year has elapsed since the death of Lord Dudley Stuart, and we have assembled once more to do honour to his memory—to show that in the gloom of disappointment as in the flush of hope we remember with equal gratitude the friend whose beautiful devotion to our cause was proved most conspicuously in adversity, though ever aspiring towards a better day ; and though the future prospects of our country may at this moment be more clouded than ever, I know I shall be speaking the sentiment of every true Pole, when I say, that through the dark mist of lowering shades the name of Lord Dudley Stuart will ever shine out like a star of hope and promise, cheering weary patriots to new exer tions, beckoning them onward to the goal which, if they flag not, must, sooner or later, be attained, for " the battle is to the brave," though the day of victory may be long deferred, and its fruits may only grow out of the graves of those who won it. It was thus with our lamented friend and benefactor. He was taken away from among us at the very moment when events were demonstrating the accuracy of the views and opi nions he had so long and patiently advocated, in spite of scoffs and ridicule ; and even in what it failed to accom plish the recent war bears testimony to his political foresightedness, and his rare sagacity ; for it was not only he that had for years been pointing out the nefari ous policy of Russia, that threatened England arid the rest of Europe as much as it oppressed Poland, but it was he who—when the eyes of Europe had at length been opened, and the conflict was impending—was the first to proclaim from his seat in Parliament, that a suc cessful naval war against Russia could only be waged with gun-boats, and that on land an effectual war against her could only be fought with Poles. Events have justified these predictions. The allies have been ♦ictori ous, it is true (and their bravery and endurance have gained for them the warmest admiration of the Poles, as of all other nations) —peao3 has been concluded, Russia has been thrown back for a while, perhaps, but has she been subdued? Has that policy, which has so long hung like a thleatening cloud on the horizon of Europe, received a la,iting check ? Have those wilyintrigues been staid which like the gleams of ligtning, were ever striking do wn where least expected, and raising difficulties that put the wariest diplomatists at fault ? The recent circular of Prince Gortschakoff, the man ner in which she is endeavouring to evade the stipula tions of the treaty of Paris, the shadows of change which have been flitting over the Western Alliances, the obstinacy of the King of Naples, the absolutist revolu tion in Spain, the uneasiness felt throue;out Europe, so different from the j )y and security experienettl after the conclusion of a bona fide peace—all these must sive the answer. Indeed, the whole state of Europe points iscfw, as before, to Lord Dudley Stuart's policy, as regaro` Poland, as the only effectual cure for the chronic dis crder under which it has been suffering ever since the annihilation of our national indepen deuce. An inde pendent Poland, upraised again between Europe and Russia, is the only means of effectually checking her aggressive European policy, and her undue influence and power in tlae West, and is the only basis on which a free Italy and a free Hun;ary can be permanently established, and the equilibrium be restored which will leave no other battle-fields open to the nations of Europe than those of peaceful in dustry, and moral and intellectual progress. In saying this, I am giving utterance to convictions based on far deeper foundations than the hope of im pending revolutionary outbreaks in Europe for they are founded on an unswerving faith in God's providential guidance of the world's history; and I would say to every Pole, at home and abroad, "Let us act with conscientiousness and zeal in whatever sphere our lot may be cast, feeling assured that the greater re spect and confidence we gain for ourselves as individuals, the more healthy and productive the energies we put forth—whether it be in promoting the growth of industry and true enlightenment, and the development of feelings of goodwill and mutual confidence between class an class at borne, or it be merely labouring in the sweat of our brow to gain our daily bread in a foreign lard, the more effectually we shall be forwarding the cause of the liberty and independence of our beloved fatherland, though our heads may go down to the grave before the final victory is gained." In earning for ourselves the respect of the world we shall also by most truiy honour ing the memory of him who was ever defending tie character of the Poles, whether as a nation or as in Ii• viduale, from the foul aspersions cast upon it, and be proving in the noblest manner that his nanio is embalmed in the best affections of our crateful hearts. The meeting was subsequently addressed at some length by Col. B. WinonaKr, who, in the course of his speech, observed that the first message conveyed by the telegraph established by the Russians on the coast of the Baltic Sea, was the exulting intelligence of the death of Lord D. Stuart, as the greatest enemy of Russia, and a protector of the Polish exiles. After short speeches from Major JACKOWSKI and Capt. GLEINICH, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting s e parated. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 15.—The Royal mail steamship Persia sailed for New York to-day with 146 passengers, besides the usual mails. The Shooting Star, belonging to the Eagle line of packets, sailed to-day for Mel. bourne, having on board a very large cargo and 250 passengers. Yesterday the Joseph Tarmtt was de spatched by Messrs.

CORN EXCHANGE. There was very little business transacted in wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday, and prices were is to 2s per qr lower. The barley trade was heavy, at drooping currencies. Most other kinds of produce ruled about stationary. Throughout the continent, the corn trade has been iu depressed state, and prices generally have had a downward tendency. The American markets continue to be well supplied. Up to our market last week the receipts of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 31,969 qrs of wheat, 4,753 barley, 51,416 oats, 425 beans, 550 peas, 609 tares, ;';00 rapeseed, 58 mustard-seed, 1,552 seeds and Indian corn, 5,32 sacks, and 6,315 barrels of flour. There was a very fair average quantity of English wheat received fresh up from Essex and Kent, and the condition of most of the samples was tolerably good. For white qualities the demand was far from active; nevertheless, in most instances, last Monday's prices were supported. All red samples, however, met a very dull inquiry, at a decline in.the quotations realised on this day se'nnight of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary. Some of the holders were rather anxious sellers at late rates, but the majority of them were rather firm in their demands. The amount of business doing in all kinds was very limited, yet we have no change to notice in the quotations. There was very little doing in floating cargoes of grain. The show of barley was not to say extensive ; neverthe less, the trade was heavy, and prices gave way is per qr. We had a dull inquiry for malt, on ra th e r eas i e r terms. The show of foreign oats was very large. Good sound qualities realised about previous rates, but inferior parcels moved off slowly, at 61 to is per qr less money. Although tho supplies of beans and peas wore rather on the increase, those articles moved off steadily, at late prices. The flour trade was dull. Country marks and American qualities were rather drooping in price. CURRENCY PElt IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Prices, however, rule high. Only limited purchases of beasts and sheep have been made in Spain for consumption in France. As some of the steamers laden with stock from Holland have not been reported, the show of foreign beasts and sheep here to-day was comparatively small. From our own grazing districts the fresh arrivals of beasts were moderately good; nevertheless, as the atten dance of butchers was rather extensive , the demand for all breads ruled somewhat active, at an advance in the quota tions realised on Monday last of 2d per Ms. Thu best Scots sold at 4s 10d per Blbs. The arrivals front Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,150 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; from Ire land, 500 oxen ; and from Scotland, 80 Scots. The show of sheep was again but moderate as to num ber. In their general quality, however, a great improve ment was noticed. The mutton trade was firm, at fully last Monday's currency. The best old Downs realised 5s 2d per Sibs. We were scantily supplied with calves, which moved off steadily at Friday's quotations. The top figure was Os 4d per Sibs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A CAT.—Colonel Arthur Padovani de Guise, of No. 29, Soho-square, appeared before Mr. Beadon, in answer to a warrant, granted at the instance of Mr. Wemys, the superintendent of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, charging him with cruelly illtreating and torturing a cat. William Hopkins, 4, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, said he was passing through Soho-square, on Sunday, the 9th inst., when he saw a policeman looking over the rails. Witness out of curiosity looked over also, and saw the defendant with a large black Newfoundland dog, deliberately stoop down and throw several stones at a black cat that was in the hedge within the railing. The cat woald not move, and the defendant then poked it with a stick, which the cat got hold of, and defendant then pulled it out by the tail, and set the dog on it. Witness afterwards examined the cat, and saw several marks of the dog's teeth on its head, and one of its hind legs swung as if butig by a string. He cried out " shame" and " brute" many times. A large crowd had collected, and he left the cat in the care of a man, while he went and fetched a police constable, and gave the defendant into custody. The cat was subsequently killed by the officer. The accused, in defence, said he cried out to the cat, in order to cause it to run away from the dog. The cat would not move, and ho then poked it out with a stick. It was false to say that he set the dog on to worry the cat, or that he was going to leave the country. Who ever said so must have done so out of malice towards him. Mr. Beadon said the case was clearly proved against the defendant, and fined him 9.05. and costs. The money was directly paid. SPORTING NOTES. SOMETHING ABOUT SHREWSBURY. The game will be played out this week. The Shrews bury Meeting will bring the legitimate racing 'season of '56 to a close, and a clear field will be left for the jumpers. Mr. Frail seems determined to wind up the sports with eclat, and he has supplied an amount of racing which would perhaps be impossible in the summer months. The programme, in fact, is not a little puz zling, and I shall be somewhat perplexed to discover the "good things" for which Shrewsbury is notorious. That the meeting will bo successful no doubts can be entertained, and all persons who know Mr. Frail and his staff of officials are convinced that the proceed• ings will be conilucted with due regularity and effi ci, '• The acceptauces for the different handicap events were not published until Saturday ; the betting brotherhood have, therefore, bad no opportunity for the commence inent of operations, and in all probability the betting will be confined to the " post," the cautious people wait ing until the numbers appear on the telegraph board. Still, even then, they will perhaps be compelled to con duct their speculations with care, for the proceedings connected with Miss Harkaway at Hoylake ■how that the telegraph is not unfrequently used for the purpose of putting horses in the bole. To enter into an elaborate discussion of the compa rative chances of the accepted animals in each race would only occupy space unnecessarily, and, in fact, in the absence of all trustworthy information as to the probable starters such a discussion would be simply absurd. I shall briefly express my opinion on those horses that seem " well in" on paper. Twenty-two have accepted for the Shrewsbury Han dicap, and of those I am induced to believe that the most favourably treated are Lord Alfred, Cossey, Imogene, Merlin, and Gaudy. The first-mentioned horse has undeniable speed, but his staying powers are somewhat doubtful. Still his impost is light enough to enable him to "get home," especially amongst the mode rate class of animals which he will encounter. Cossey is slow and game, and, despite his 71b extra, his chance is still formidable. Imogene's running at Liverpool would indicate that she has lost all form ; still, should she go to the post to-morrow, I shall be disinclined to withhold all confidence from her. Merlin is dangerous, but as I am not acquainted with his owner's "inten tions," I shall not express a decided opinion on his chance. Should he start I shall not be amongst his op ponents, but in his default I shall look to LORD .ALFRED and IMOGENE to pull through. Of the yearlings I know nothing. For the Corporation Plate I shall select Leamington and Polmoodie. Hopeless Star has certainly bean very leniently han dicapped for the Steeplechase, and should she show only a❑ accident ought to " take the shine out of her." Should Lord Alfred and Polmoodie go unpenallsed to the post for the Steward Plate, l shall be inclined to "stand them" against the field. The Dipthong colt, Vaulter, and Orlando are my " fancies" for the Nursery. A. FRESH MAN. Nov. 17. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)
