The inquiry for discount accommodation to day is by no means active, but the rates show undiminished firmness. The Bavaria from New York has brought £28,800, and. the Asia £119,486 in specie. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending Feb. 20 amounted to £14,910, against £10,474 last year. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have been satisfactory. The dealings i n both cloths end yarns at Manchester, however, have been limited, although prices have shown a slight upward tendency. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax, a seasonable busi ness Was transacted in summer fabrics, while at 'irmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been more activity in most departments. With regard to the Silk Market the following is from Messrs. Durant and Co.'s circular :—We have a quiet market in silk—diving the last fortnight especially so. The deliveries are good, and con sumption is supposed to be going compara tively well, but there is no disposition to purchase, except particular classes—in the meantime prices are fairly supported. The large arrivals of last month have swelled ur stocks to a tolerably large total, but, speaking generally, there is no sensation of excess. It may be that the disinclination to purchase was increased by the knowledge that the cargo of the Colombo was to be sold by public auction, but from the moment of the silk reaching London, it was evident that it was far too extensively damaged to be available for any general purposes. The sale took place yester day—the silk was sold without any deduction for increase by water, in many wises amounting to nearly c en t. per cent., and therefore at nominally low prices —but the result to the purchasers is very uncertain beyond that of lengthened occupation to the mills, In China silk the transactions have been especially small, Taysaam only being in demand. Japan silk continues in great favour, and forms the exception to the general quietude. In Bengal no thing of moment. Persian still continues in fair consumption. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes ranged from 701. to 701. sc. An extreme degree of quietude has pervaded the market for Public Securities to-day, owing to the dulness of business and the limited attendance of operators.

In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has been no change of importance. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares exhi bited in one or two instances rather more firmness.

A f ter thi nn ing out the cock pheasants, so as to ensure a preper equality for the breeding season to th e d ames, there are twenty-two hens in the breeding compartment, which have laid two hundred eggs, otitwhichf have got on st number,s varying 142 are placed under sittin g fowls, t h n from 15 to 16 eggs. The p artrid g es admirably. There are about 20 eggs, and four young birds are laying. These birds have become so domes ticated that they mingle with the ordinary fowls, and feed from the hand. The hares, though improving in form and *waxing fat, still preserve their shyness. The chief diffi culties that lie in the way of the preservation of game have been successfully combated, as is illustrated by the remains of ;00 eagle hawks, s me of which measure eight feet from tip to tip of expanded wings. During the past year, 1,000 native eats came to an untimely end. The hawks still con tinue their depredations. The warren of wild rabbits is now redolent of life as an ant-hill, and swarms of bunnies are thrown off, which find their way to Armytage's old sta tion, up the Leigh, and down the Barwon banks, for miles a ffording increasing sport to the gun. The newly imported 9.'44 are doing satisfactorily, and seem to luxuriate in their new abode.

Formerly there was a baronet in the county, but he died five or six Y i ;: rs a go, and the title became extinct. There is no cor poration, no rneyor, but it has one special advantage, that -8 county being partly in the diocese of Bangor and partly 1 / 1 the diocese of St. Asaph it has two bishops to look after 2 t B Spiritual interests.

The total number amounts to 10 divisions ; or 150,000 men, and a reinforcement of 10,000 men is shortly expected. Out of these forces the kingdom possesses 80,000, of whom 30,000 are necessary for the de fence of Warsaw, and 25,000 for that of the fortified towns, leaving therefore only 25,000 men disposable for other 'services.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The country ma' kets held towards the close of last week were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade wac very dull at further reduced rates. All kinds of spring corn, including flour, moved off heavily, and the quotations had a downward tendency. The continental markets are very dull, whilst from New York we learn that the trade for wheat and flour is less active, on easier terms. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 27,951 quarters of wheat, 21,807 barley, 11,375 oats, 953 beans, 55 tares, 850 linseed, 13,935 oil-seeds, 217 maize, 160 sundry seeds, 1,529 sack, and 26,537 barrels of flour. Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the receipts of home-grown wheat were very moderate, and of but middling quality. The trade, both for red and white qualities, ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday last. Ihe supply of foreign wheat was large. In all descrip tions a limited business was transacted ; nevertheless the quotations, almost generally, were steadily supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, but with out leading to any alteration in the rates current last week. The market was well supplied with barley, foreign pro duce especially being freely offered. Malting qualities moved off slowly, at last Monday's prices; otherwise, the trade ruled heavy, and the quotations had a downward ten dency. The inquiry for most kinds of malt was far from active, on former terms. With oats the market was moderately supplied. Home grown samples, fresh up, fairly supported previous rates; but other kinds sold heavily, at fully the late reduction in prices. Mazagan beans, being in small supply, realised former prices; but other kinds—the receipts of which were some- what extensive—declined Is. per quarter. The show of peas on offer was very moderate, and the de mand ruled steady, at late currencies. Barrel flour was in slow request, at the recent fall in prices. For other descriptions, the inquiry was much re stricted, yet prices were unaltered.

In the private contract market we have to report continued heavi ness, and prices have a downward tendency. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING—THIS DAY. A special general meeting of the Governors of St. Thomas's Hospital was held this afternoon at the Terminus Hotel, London-bridge. Sir J. Mus grove, the president, occupied the chair. The solicitor of St. Thomas's Hospital, Mr. Wainwright, made a statement as to the proceed ings at the last general court, in which, in answer to a question by a governor, he had replied that no offer of £120,000 or £6,000 a year for the piece of land required by the railway company had been made. At the conclusion of reading the minutes of former courts, the PRESIDENT said the committee had no thing further to communicate relative to the secur ing the site of Bethlem Hospital. A GOVERNOR said he believed it had been desired that a question of such great magnitude as the deciding definitely upon the site of the hospital should be submitted to a special court to be held after the proceedings and negotiations had been printed and placed in the hands of every governor. Mr. FITE wished to say a few words upon a sub ject so full of anxiety as the final determination of the site for their new hospital. He be lieved it was a pretty general opinion that if it was possible to secure Bethlem Hospital as a site for the new St. Thomas's, it would be the best for the interest of this great charity, and the suffering poor who were so deeply interested in the question. The minutes just read showed that he and his colleagues had done their best towards remedying so desirable an object. What he wished the meeting to do was, supposing always that Bethlehem Hospital could be secured for these purposes, to express an opinion favourable to such a proceeding, which he considered would greatly strengthen the hands of the committee. The only thing the authorities of Bethlehem desired was that they (the governors) of St. Thomas's should provide them with as good a building and an eligible site. He did not think there would be any difficulty in complying with these re quirements, and he was sure there was nothing but the most honourable feeling on both sides, so that, if the site of Bethlem was secured, he considered they would acquire the best end most convenient position possible, and that both the public and the governors would be well satis fied. The resolution he asked to submit for their approval was as follows: "That the court request the grand committee to continue to use every means in their power to ob tain the terms and conditions upon which Bethlem Hospital may be obtained for the purposes of St. Thomas's Hospital, this Court being of opinion that the site of Bethlehem is well adapted to carry into effect the views and wishes of the governors." He did not wish to commit the governors to any specific bargain; all he wished was an expression of opinion on the part of the meeting. Alderman FINNIS seconded the resolution. Deputy ELLIOT questioned very much whether the meeting could entertain the motion. They had that day, it was truer heard a report read from the grand committee, but he was of opinion that that report ought to have been printed, so that they might know the exact position in which they stood. He did not think the pre sent court competent to carry such a resolu tion. He had drawn out a resolution of a some what similar nature, but he had intended before putting it to the meeting to have submitted it to the President, and have takes his view of the subject before he formally placed it before the meeting. Mr. ADAMS said it had been stated that the last court was altogether favourable towards Bethlem being fixed as the site of the new hospital. That was not so, because he was opposed altogether to such a proceeding. The ground was nothing like large enough, and the acquiring the surrounding property would be attended with enormous expense. He asked the meeting not to agree to such a resolution as that submitted, because it was obtaining by el side wind the approval of a special court to the proposal to rebuild St. Thomas's Hospital on the site of Bethlehem. He was decidedly in favour of the present temporary site ; it had all the advantages which were required ' for a great institution ; and it did appear to him that it was a waste of time and money to negotiate for any other. He must protest in the strongest manner against the meeting being asked to sanction proceedings which appeared to him futile and irre gular. He had paid much attention to the subject, and he was convinced Surrey Gardens was the best and the cheapest site. Mr. DE GREY was of opinion that if they de cided upon Bethlehem as the spot then they would not have room enough. He thought they ought to have the fullest information respecting the other sites before they decided upon selecting that of Bethlehem, and that, too, without any previous notice that they intended to do so. Mr. G. BROOKS thought, if the meeting passed the resolution, they were entirely committed to the purchase of Bethlehem Hospital. Mr. BAGGALY was in favour of Bethlehem,which he considered to be a good site. He thought they ought to take some definite step, because the delay was very embarrasing. They had to give an answer to the Fishmongers' Company relative to the land they had offered for the hospital, and he thought it ought to be gathered from the governors, not the public out of doors, where they were to go to. It was quite true that if they agreed upon Bethlehem, they could not put upon that site the plan proposed, but with respect to the Surrey Gardens, the Labourisare plan could by the land of the Fishmongers' Company. He be carried out. He hoped something would be done, as the greatest inconvenience was occasioned by the state of uncertainty that at present existed. A GOVERNOR again asked whether it was com petent for the meeting to entertain the resolution of Mr. Tite. The CHAIRMAN said the court was master of its own proceedings, and he thought it quite compe tent to pass the resolution. Mr. TITE was sorry any hard words had been used. He could assure the gentleman that there was no intention on his part to attempt to carry his motion by a side wind. His great desire was to obtain the best position possible for their new hospital. The authorities of Bethlehem were gentlemen animated with but one desire ; they did not want the governor's money as money, they did not wish to make a bargain out of the transanction, all they wanted was, in the event of their institution being required for St. Thomas's Hospital, that a building of the descrip tion should be placed upon a desirable and con venient site. Mr. ADAMS said it appeared to him that the reso lution indirectly called upon the governors to express their approval of the appropriation of Bethlehem Hospital. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. Mr. ELLIOT said the delay in deciding this ques tion was of serious consequence to the suffering poor. They had now only 200 beds for their patients, when they ought to have at least 600 or 600. The Surrey Gardens offered every conveni ence for the carrying out their plan. There were 18 acres of land, and contiguous 30 more at Ken nington Park, so they would have plenty of fresh air, which he considered as desirable as pills and draughts. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He did hope there would bo no more delay, and with that view he begged to submit a resolution to them. Before he sat down he would just tell them that one of the most formidable ope rations known in surgery had just been success fully performed at the hospital in the Surrey Gar dens, and the poor sufferer was now nearly convales cent. Theoperation would never have been attempted in the old building, and the marvellously rapid re covery of the patient was strong and unanswerable testimony in favour of the salubrity of the gardens. His resolution was to the following ef f ect: —t , That if the negotiations for the re moval of Bethlehem fail, it is the opinion of this court that the present site of the Surrey Gardens is very desirable, and so practically avail able that, without any further delay, or new nego tiltion, that site should at once purchased for the new hospital. The CHAIRMAN remarked that the latter part was rather strong, but if the only desire of the hon. gentleman was to obtain an opinion with re spect to the Surrey Gardens, he could very well conclude the resolution after the word " desirable." A GOVERNOR said he was in favour of Bridewell, but if the price of that was too high then he thought decidedly the Surrey Gardens was the first and best. Mr. TITE hoped the resolution would not be persevered in. Mr. ADAMS said the actual price of the Surrey Gardens had been given, and Mr. Simpson was not the gentleman to take advantage of any delay on the part of the governors. Mr. GARLING said there was one circumstance that ought not to be overlooked, and that was that Bethlehem Hospital was only leasehold, and would involve them with the Charity Commissioners. It had been said that the Surrey Gardens was a swamp, but, if that were so, the same applied to Bethelem, as both were two feat below watermark. If that was an objection in one case, surely it was so in the other. (Hear, hear.) Mr. TITE again urged the withdrawal_of the re solution. Mr. ELLIOT said he should persevere, because his object was to put an end to all uncertainty, for as the question remained open, new projects would be continually arising. The resolution upon a show of hands was nega tived. The CHAIRMAN said at present they had posses sion of the present site of the Surrey Gardens for five years, and in the event of the negotiations failing from the acquisition of Bethlehem, then most certainly they should turn their attention to the Surrey Gardens. In reply to a question from a Governor, Mr. BAGGALLY said it was quite true that Beth lehem was leasehold, and, according to the strict letter of the agreement, it was only tenable as long as it was devoted to the purpoees of a lunatic asylum. A letter was then read, which :had been foe warded to Sir J. Musgrove, emanating from the medical gentlemen connected with the hospital, denying the conclusions which had been drawn by the Grand Committee in favour of a country site. The document was referred to the Grand Com mittee. The proceedings then terminated. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. There was a moderate supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market; but its general quality was by no means first-rate. Sales, consequently, progressed slowly, at about stationary prices. Compared with Monday last there was a falling off in the receipts of beasts from our own grazing districts ; but the arrivals from Scotland were again extensive for the time of year. From Ireland the supply was trifling. On the whole the stock was good, and most breeds of beasts commanded a steady sale, at prices equal to Monday last. The top figure for Scots and crosses was 4s 10d ; but some really good heavy beasts changed hands at 4s 8d per Bibs, and at which a fair clearance was effected. From Norfo'.k, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,800 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 500 Sects and crosses; and from Ireland, 50 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was limited as to number, but the quality of each breed was good. Downs and half-breeds, in the wool, moved off freely at quite last week's currency, the top quotation being 6s per Blbs ; but long-woofed, as well as clipped, sheep changed hands slowly, and in some instances prices were a shade lower. Shorn Downs realised 5s per 81b. Lambs, the supply of which was less extensive, were in moderate request at slighly enhanced rates compared with Thursday. Prices ranged from 7s to 7s 8d per 81bs. We have to report a slow sale for calves, at late curren cies—viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 6d per 81bs. The supply was rather limited. The pork trade was inactive, on former terms.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. BRAZIL. The Duke of SOMERSET, on behalf of Earl Russell, who was absent, asked the Earl of Malmesbury to postpone his notice, and that he would call attention to this difficulty on the ground that the matter was now referred to the King of the Belgians, and a discussion would be unseemly and hurtful while the arbitration was going on. The Earl of MALMESBURY did not think that the King of the Belgians, who was so impartial, would be likely to be affected by anything that could be said in this house, but, as the noble earl seemed to think the discussion might be prejudicial to the public interests, be would postpone his motion. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF' COMMONS--This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

PETITIONS. Mr. Cox presented a petition from Finsbury in favour of a modification of the fire insurance ; Sir B. BRIDGES, against the abolition of church rates ; Mr. WHALLEY, against the Ministers Prison Bill ; Colonel SYKES, from Indian officers, complaining of the amalgamation scheme, and praying for inquiry. MAYNOOTH. .__ . . Mr. WHALLEY gave notice that immediately after Easter he should move that the house resolve itself into a committee, with a view to repeal the Act for the Endow ment of Maynooth. (Oh, oh, and laughter.) E GLISti POLICE SENT TO POLAND. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, after the state of siege had been proclaimed in Poland, the Russian Government applied to her Majesty's Government for the service of two English detectives for the instruction of the Russian police in Po land ; and whether, in compliance with that application, her Majesty's Government sent Superintendent Walker and Inspector Whicher, of the A division, to Warsaw during the months of August and September, 1862 ? Sir G. GREY replied, to the first question, that neither before nor after the state of siege in Poland did the Russian authorities apply to the English Government for the ser vice of any of the English police in connetion with that insurrection. He had, however, to state, in reply .. to the second question, that two officers of the metropolitan police did go to Warsaw in August last, but under the following circumstances. Few things had more attracted the atten tion of intelligent foreLners visit!ng this country than the decorum that prevailed in our large cttie.s, and the protec tion afforded to life and property through the instrumen tality of a civil unarmed force—(hear, hear)—a force esta blished by law, und er well considered rules, acting on all occasions without the aid of the military, and amenable to the tribunals, like other subjects of the Crown, for any excess of duty. (Hear, hear.) The suc cess that had attend e d the establishment of the system of police in this country had, f ro m time to time, led foreign countries t o app l y to the Government for particu. lars as to the nature of the organisation and the details of the management pursued. That information had invari ably been given without any reserve; for they had no secrets in their police system, and many attempts had been made, with more or less success, to introduce the system into the capitals of other countries. In August last the Russian Ambassador in this country sent a note to the Government stating that the Duke Constantine, during more than one visit to England, had been much struck with the ability of the English police, and further that the duke having been recently charged with the affairs of Poland, de sired to intro Ince that system there, and so put an end to the martial law which had so long prevailed in Poland, The letter asked the Government to permit a persevering and intelligent officer of police to go to Warsaw, in order, if possible, to explain the nature of the English police system, so that the desire of the Grand Duke might be carried out. (He (Sir G. Grey) believed he only expressed the general fact of the house, when he said if the English system could be carried out in Poland, one of the greatest boons would be conferred upon the people. (Hear, hear.) With the consent of the commissioners of Police he sent two officers to Warsaw—it not being usual for a single officer to be sent on such missions —for the sole purpose of fully informing the authoritiss of the system of police in London, but most assuredly for no other purpose. They returned shortly after, and he could only regret that their police system could not be assimilated to the state of things existing in Poland. (Hear, hear,) Mr. AYRTON inquired whether the two police officers were sent to Warsaw before or after the insurrection ? Sir G. GREY replied that they were sent long before the recent events. (Hear, hear.) The letter of application was dated in July, and the officers went on the 6th of August. Mr. HENNESSY asked if the right hon. baronet would have any objection to lay on the table of the house the communication of the Russian Ambassadors ? (Hear.; He should also like to ask whether two letters had not re cently been received by the Government from the British Consul at Warsaw, setting forth that the Russian police had committed very great atrocities on the people? Sir G. GREY replied that the letter from the Russian ambassador was marked private, and he would not like to produce it without his permission. Letters had been re ceived by the Government giving details of the recent in surrection. In reply to Mr. H. VERNER, Sir U. GREY replied that no written insructions had been given to the officers; they went simply for the put. , I pose he had explained. REGISTRATION OF INSURANCES BILL. In reply to Sir G. GROGAN, Sir R. PEEL said he had consented to postpoue this bill to Monday net. THE LICENSING ACT. In answer to Mr. NORRI, The CHLNCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the Government intended at t h e most convenient mom ent to introduce a bill to abolish the inequality in licences. THE BUDGET. In reply to Mr. HANKEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EY n E QUE R replied that he did not intend to bring in the financial statement of the Government before Easter. He should, however, select the earlest day thereafter. (Hear, hear.) ADJOURNMENT OF DAHy.

" Kinglake's Narrative of the Crimean War" is the subject of the first article. It is said that s. the first volume which is devoted to the consider& tion of the causes which led to the war, the author. of Eothen has set before us everything that the hungriest reader will care to know. The second volame, it states, devotes almost too much space to the description of the battle of the Alma, but the whole account is done so artistically, that one is fain to pardon tbc diffuseness. "In language clear, stirring, elaborately simple, yet flowing with an air of unsteadied grace, and pregnant with sound thought in many things, the writer has brought before us the strange ebbs and flows of a most chequered struggle, as it moved on here and there over a wide field, from minute to minute, during several hours of noise and bloodshed and wild uncertainty." It is observed, in conclusion, that for some reasons Mr. Russell's and Napier's sketches may be preferred, but a full, true, and sug gestive account of the battle of the Alma, these almost Homeric pictures of Mr. Kinglake will fur nish to the general reader. A new story is com menced called " Bella Donna; or, The Cross before the Name." It is very romantic, and will most likely prove exciting as it proceeds. " Abhrain on Bhudeil" is a spirited sketch in verse, by Hyacinth von Carolan. " Little Flaggs, the Almshouse Foundling" is continued, and this in stalment is very eventful, as we meet with various changes. Mary escapes from her tormentors, but the last passage leaves her in the grasp of a rude hand. This reminds one of a passage in Oliver Twist. " Sterne and his Dog" is continued in the same style as formerly. "The British Newspaper" is a suggestive article, that will repay perusal. Various other subjects are met with in this periodical that will prove attractive and interesting. Bentley's Miscellany. The editor's historical romance of "Cardinal Pole" proceeds with interest, and chronicles in this in stalment the important event of the Royal marriage. A paper on " The Hermit of Gauting" relates the adventures of an eccentric and by no means attrac tive character. We have also an account of a man whose life is of a more active kind—Benito Juarez, the present President of the Republic of Mexico. We have another biographical paper in an outline of the career of Madame Schroder-Devrient, a dis tinguished dramatic singer, recently deceased. The narrative of "A Visit to Russia," and the description of A Summer in America," are both continued. There are fresh instalments of two tales, and a pleasantly-written paper on " The Channel Islands and their Legends." Monkshood, always one of the cleverest writers in this periodical, contributes a very readable essay on " The Advantages of Im pudence." 11facmillate8 Magazind Contains some interesting articles. To the philolo gist, Professor Max Muller's lecture " On the Science of Language," which he delivered at the Royal Institution last month, wi'l prove attractive. A paper by Dr. T. L. Phipson, F.C.S., " On the Chemistry of the Sea," contains not only scientific information for the learned, but some statistics which will amuse the general reader. It is curious to observe that there are cases where the continuous influx of fresh water into inland seas, combined with an efflux of salt water, causes the sea or lake in the course of time to become fresh, as in the case of Backal Lake, in Siberia, the change being gra dual. The fish and plants which were originally indigenous to salt water seem to change their nature with the change of element, and shoals of herrings are to be seen disporting in the fresh water as naturally and happily as their ancestors did in a primeval age. The second and concluding part of "A Visit to Lutzen in October, 1862," by Herman Merivale, takes up the account of the battle after the fall of Gustavus, and Mr. Merivale enters into a long dissertation on the character and history of Wallenstein, of whom he entertains no very favour able opinion, considering him to be a humbug.

SPORTING NOTES. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) A split in the Stamford Cabinet, in the secession of its principal jockey, gave the lovers of small talk and the chroniclers of small beer ample matter for discussion at Not tingham, and it was no very refreshing sign of the times to know that he had never pulled a horse except by com mand of his employer I It was not the first time that the lord of Enville and his jockey had quarrelled, and at Good wood, last year, the cap and jacket were asked for, but the breach was healed without Edwards leaving the stable. Stable quarrels are no very edifying topics, and although it has been announced that this second rupture is remedied, yet it is believed that Edwards has finally surrendered the blue jacket and black belt; but, in any case, as there will never be any perfect confidence between the master and Lis jockey, their separation is considered the best solution of the difficulty. Last week's racing gazetted me with a series of winners, which had been re commended through your columns; but as for the sport itself, there was very little of permanent interest in the proceedings. But for the discreditable withdrawal of the Mountain Maid filly for the Nottingham Handicap, I could not have missed the winner in that instance, as she would have won, and Revolver's forcing the pace and winning completely astounded the rulers of his own stable, as they had not even the price of a pound of cigars on the race. Derby was alone noticeable for the manner in which Em blem cut down her field in the steeplechase, and all the bookmakers and cognoscenti generally insisted that, bar ac cidents, she could not lose at Liverpool. The result was to make her a tremendous favourite, as the news of her success was at once wired to every place where a price could be obtained. The mare won, with her head up, pulling double, and George Stevens said, as soon as he got into the weigh ing-room, that " they'd have to find a better one than he had ever been on to beat her next Wednesday." Her late form must be somewhat irritating to Golby's party, as they had her in their stable till within a very short period, and only started Sinking Fund to make sure that they had got her measure at home. A melancholy topic during the week was the death of poor George Caldwell, so well known on the turf by his connection with the press, and his universal sporting knowledge. Although bred and educated a gen tleman, he was compelled at a late period in life, like many of the decayed gentry, to make his pen his means of sub • sistence. He was best known as a contributor to the Field, and one of the special correspondents of the Times, but was never brilliant in the practical departments of the turf. Some papers of his on studs and stables, which appeared in the Field, first brought him into notice, and from being a scholar and full of anecdote, his society was much sought. Still, his vein of humour was more calculated to tickle the ear in a convivial hour, than to gratify the ordinary social circles. At a hunting song he had few equals, and the richness of his tally-ho, and view halloo always roused the hard riders to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The pre sent week will witness the celebration of the Liverpool Spring Meeting and the Grand National Steeplechase. Mr. John Frail, too, has his supplementary gathering at the incorruptible borough of Shrewsbury. Mr. Topham's meeting is sure to be enormously patronised by the of pollos in consequence of the general holiday, and the national festivities, but opening, as it does, on the day of the Royal nuptials, will deprive it of the patronage of the patricians. The clerk of the course, in anticipation of the prevalent loyal enthusiasm, has added to the pro grame £2OO in the shape of a new race, which is proudly named the Prince of Wales's Cup. To-morrow (Tuesday) there are seven races to be run, and, with one exception, all have closed. The Liverpool Spring Cup has a very supe rior number of animals engaged to what we have lately seen for this race—Balham, Brilliant, Costa, the Mountain Maid filly, Bohemia, and Oakapple having the best of the weights—and, being of fair class, seem bound to supply the winner between them. Brillient and Costa are certain to beat all the old ones, and among the three nothing has a chance with Bohemia, in my estimation, as her running with Lord Clifden at Doncaster, and Rapid Rhone and Woldga at Newmarket, place her almost en a par with the best fillies of her year. The mention of Woldga's name reminds me that I may inform the followers of Sir Joseph Hawley that this horse has lately thrown out curbs, and is doing no work. Should Lord Strathmore, under the guid ance of his avowed commissioner, Mr. George Herring, back Bohemia for the Spring Cup, she will about win ; and I hear that his lordship borrowed a horse of Mr. Hughes— most probably Flash-in-the-Pan—to try the mare with, but the betting would tell whether the private spin came off well or not. The three which will beat the field are Bohemia, Costa, and Brilliant, and of these I must stand solely by BOHEMIA. The Prince of Wales's Cup being only three-quarters of a mile—a popular distance—may bring a pretty numerous field together, the pick of the basket being Tolurno, Fra vole, Ace of Clubs, Ellerton, Libellous, Countess, and Dualla. Ace of Clubs, though afflicted with roaring, is very fast, and will only have to beat Tolurno to win. The Tyro Stakes has a good entry; but all are unknown to fame with the exception of Faith and Coimbra. Lord Stamford has three engaged, and his best will probably be a favourite; while Mr. Merry has a filly by Wild Dayrell, out of Lady Lurewell, nominated, whose engagements involve many hundred pounds, and who, according to reports from train ing quarters, is very forward in her work. Faith has run sufficiently well to be worth following, and either she or Mr. Merry's filly may be found good enough to win. The Sweepstakes of 3 soya each will be carried off by Xenius or His Excellency. In the Hurdle Race, Shropshire or Ava lanche must be capable of defeating the remainder, now that Nosegay is hors de combat. Northern Light and Sink ing Fund have "paid," and Emblem is sure to be reserved for the great event. Wednesday will be the Grand National Steeplechase day, which will give rise to the usual excitement, although the majority of the field are no more than cast-offs and rejected platers, with few of the properties of legitimate cross-country horses. The following are likely to be runners :—Medora (Mr. Row lads) ; Jealousy (J. Kendall) ; Jerusalem7(Nightingall or C. Boyce; The Dane (Walter White) ; Lincoln (Knott) ; Arbury ; Satellite (Mr.F . Martin) ; Thomastown (Murphy) ; Yeller Gal (Griffiths) ; Emblem (G. Stevens) ; Remedium or Chester (C. Bennett) ; Light of other Days (Mr. Ling ton) ; The Orphan (Mr. Goodman) ; Fosco (Holman, jun.) ; and Birdbolt. Medora has been steadily supported, although carrying the steadier of 12st. She is, however, such a superior mare, that her owner is justified in h eying some confidence, with all the weight, as the mare has be fore now won with equally great weights. Jealousy, after being under considerable suspicion, has been b rought to the very foremost ranks in the betting 1)y money which seems like the genuine outlay of a " party," as it did not escape observation that Mr. Dick Portr,r, who usu ally has the right office, was busy investing. Mr. Bennett's lot also includes Remedium and Chester, the dormer having been backed, but I should fancy with no pros pect of beating the winner of 1861. It is impossible to gainsay Jealousy's chance, but from the antecedents of her division, it would be dangerous to trust their animals. The Dane has been backed by Captain Christie, who has also dropped the hint to his friends. Shropshire is also reported to be a certain runner, but according to the tone of the market can have no chance with the Dane. At Birmingham the last men tioned, when running with Emblem, wrenched a plate, and was not persevered with, but it was obvious that, but forth° accident, he would have been near the winner at the finish. Lincoln, though knocked out, willbe among the starters, but will never stay the country, and the same remark applies to Satellite. Jerusalem, should he " come" in the market, will be most dangerous, as it will be a guarantee that the bill-of-sale business connected with him will have been satisfactorily arranged. His public credentials stamp him as a really great horse, and that he is the bes'L of Golby's, over four miles, lam perfectly convinced. I must leave your readers to watch the market closely themselves con cerning him, and, if the money should e.ppear to be going on in the right direction, they should immediately follow the demonstration. Master Begot is a most uncertain brute ; and, unless I am greatly •misinformed, Avalanche will be en absentee, owing to he , : owner having been fore stalled.
