ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocic. There is a moderate demand for discount accom modation, and as the rate for first class bills of three months date hss been reduced to 3 per cent., the consequence is a very limited number of appli cations at the Bank of England, where 3i per cent. is required. The inquiry, however, may now be expected to be slightly augmented owing to the usual disbursements at the end of the month, the liquidation of accounts at the Stock Exchange, and the necessary provision for the bills arriving at maturity early in May. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have generally been of an un satisfactory character. Business at Manchester continued inactive, without any material change in the values of either cloths or yarns. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been without material alteration, the chief dea ings hav ing been in light fabrics. At Leicester and Not tingham there has been considerable depression in the hosiery and lace departments, while in the hard ware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, a heavy tone has been generally apparent. LThe Bank of Otago is the title of a new joint stock undertaking, formed for the purpose of afford ing to New Zealand those monetary facilities which the recent large expansion of it 3 commercial enter prise now so urgently requires. Ever since 1861, when the gold fields of Otago were discovered, the population of this settlement has considerably in creased, while the development of its trade has greatly exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the colonists. Its gold exports during last two years have been almost doubled, and its wool shipments since 1855 hsve increased nearly sevenfold. These facts are put forward by the directors for the pur pose of demonstrating the legitimate character of their undertaking, and the large field that is ope❑ to them for remunera'ive operations. The cap tat is fixed at 5500,000, which it is proposed to raise by shares of £lOO each. The calls are not to ex ceed £5 per share, nor to be made at less intervals than three months. On the Dutch Rhenish Railway the receipts for the fortnight ending April 15, 1863, amounted to £7,977 11s. sid., and for the corresponding period of last year to £7,592 4s. 62d. ; showing an in crease of £385 6s. Ild. in favour of the present year. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 10th instant, amounted to £13,558 against. £lO 613 last year. The directors of the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company, in their report to be presented at the ensuing half-yearly meeting, state that the line has been opened from Stellenbasch to Lap mute, a distance of nearly nine miles, and that the result has been an immediate increase of more than 50 per cent, in the traffic receipts. Another sec tion, from Klapmuts to the Pearl, eleven mites in length, was to be opened at the end of last month. The short branch into the morning market at Cape Town has also been completed, and promises to add to the traffic of the line. During the twelve months that the line has been partialiy at work, the traffic has been conducted not only with regularity and efficiency, but without a single injury to a passenger or a servant of the company. The revenue receipts up to the close of the year 1862, show a re turn of £18,364 2s. 2d. The working expenses during the same period, have exceeded the receipfs by only £1.850 lls. 3d. Since the opening •f the line to the Pearl the traffic returns have increased from £l3 to £lB per mile, per week, without a corresponding increase iu the working expenses. The capital of the company raised for the construc tion of the line amounts to £580,000, of which £500,000 has been subscribed as Stock, £47,000 in Debentures for 20 years, from April, 1862, and £33,000 in debentures for a period of seven years. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69t. 40c. A moderate amount of business has been trans acted to-day in the market for the English Funds, but it has not led to any material variation in prices. The tendency, however, has been favour able, and Consols are 921 I for money and account. The New 3 per Cents. are ateidy at 914 ; the Re duced at 91/ ; Exchequer Bills have improved to 4s. and 9s. pi em ; India Stock to 228 and 230 ; and the 5 per Cent. is steady at 1091 A firmer tone is perceptible in the Foreign Mar k.t, but the transactions have not been extensive. Egpptian Bonds are 971 I; Greek, 281 if f , showing steadiness; and the Coupons remain at 131 ; Italian, at 704 71 ; the Railway Loan realised 764 ; Portuguese New Loan, 48; Russian ditto, 954; Spanish Passive have risen to 30a 6 ; the Ca rtifi ea! es remain at 104 e ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, 87i ; do., 1858, 68 ; do., 1862 70 ; and the Con solides, 47/ -1-; the Confederate Loan is It 21 prem. The operations in the Railway Share Market have not been very extensive, the dee lers and share holders having been occupied with the anangements for the settlement, and prices have not varied to any important extent. South-Easterns, however, have improved about 55., and Great-Easterns, ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there bas been little or no variation as regards prices; Great Luxemburg being dealt in at 141 Z-; East Indian at 109 and 1091 ; Peninsula at 1091; and Great Western of Canada at 111 S. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinued dull at about former prices. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent. Consols Annuities New 3 per Cent.

Messrs, Prestwich, Evans, and Taylor have paid a visitt e o n s M e r w s. Boucher de Perthes, for the purpose of comparing the facts will' previous discoveries. Mr. Evans is said to have been struck with the suspicious appearance of one of the flint-heaps. The axes appeared to have been artificially stained ; and, on being placed in water, they looked as Hall the colour would brush away. The general circumstances are said to have impressed the English geologists with a strong feeling of uncertainty. No one, of course, can sup pose that any part of the mystification- -if there shoul I be mystification in the matter—lies at the door of M. Boucher de Perrhes ; it is, however, feared the rewards proposed by that gentleman for the discovery of h man bones may have tempted the quirrytnen into a d screditable trick. At all events this n-w fact in the great controversy as to the An tiquity of Man requires to beset free from a very reasonable doubt, Mill tlrtgar. HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, April 26.

Th, Deanery has been placed at the disposal of their Royal Highnesses by Dr. Lindell, Dean of Christchurch. Satur tay last was the 20th anniversary of the birthday of the Princess Alice Maud Mary (Princess Louis of Hesse). The christening of the infant daughter of the Princess Louis of Hesse took place at Windsor Castle this morning. Viscount Palmerston held an assembly on Satur• day evening at Cambridge House, Piccadilly, previous to which the noble viscount and viscountess entertained company at dinner.

The uncovering of the Memorial of the Great Exhibition of 1851 by the Prince of Wales, in the Horti cultural Socieiy's Gardens at South Kensington, will take place on the 10th June. At Marlborough Hduse the other day, at the re ception of the deputations, the Prince of Wales appeared in the uniform of a general in the army, and was decorated with the Riband .f the Garter and the Cordon of the Legion of Honour. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wal.s wore a tight-fitting morning dress of a rich mauve coloured silk, and a delicately-worked lace pelerine, which had more the appearance of a cape than a collar, with a single costly diamond brooch on her breast. The sleeves of the dress were large and open, and richly worked in lace, falling from the elbow somewhat after the fashion seen in me pictures of some of the Tudor Princesses. LATEST TOILETS AT LONGCHAMP.—The Em press was there, one of the most important prizes of tha day being that called the Empress's prize. Her Majesty was dressed in a very pale grey taffetas dress, shot with blue, the casa on being similar to the robe, and the sleeves and front of the latter trimmed with narrow bands of the same material, edged with white, placed like bran denburgs, and terminated at the point of each narrow band with a white silk button, the whole costume having some what of a sporting air. The bonnet worn by the Empress was of the same shade of pale grey as the dress, in crepe, very simply crnarnented by a tuft of blackberries or currants. Various alterations and changes are taking place et Fostainebieau in preparation for the reception of the Prince and Princess of Wales; and an entertain ment, to be given by the Prefect of the Seine, is to surpass everything of the kind given by the Ville de Paris, even including the celebrated ball iu honour of Queen Victoria. The temporary horse-shoe staircase, erected on that occa sion in the Cnur Henri IV., is about to be replaced by a magnificent and permanent marble staircase, of the same form, but of the richest design and ornamentation. EATENSWILL GAZETTE AND EATENSWILLIy part o INDE ; PEN DEN T.—From a fly-leaf in th e monthly Good Words, we extract the following choice paragraphs in reference to its religious contemporary, ?he Record news paper :—" In reply to several clergymen of the Church of England, who have written us in reference to an onslaught on Good Words and its writers, which has lately been made in The Record newspaper, we beg to state that we have at present no intention of taking any notice of it. If we should ever do so, it will certainly not be to defend ourselves or our contributors against such groundless and illiterate ctuumnies, but to illustrate from them the low condition to which criticism has fallen in the columns of a journal which, strange to say, claims to represent the opinions at d the spirit of a section of the Evangelical party of the Church of England I The articles in The Record are characterised by such sustained malevolence, gross mist epresentation, low vulgarity —such shocking irreverence in the .pplication of Scripture —as to deprive them of the privilege of literary courtesy. They can have no other effect than to degrade their author and publisher. We think it right to state, for the satisfaction of our correspondents and others who feel so justly offended by these articles, that though their writer professes to be an attached member of the Church of Eng land, and speaks of it affectionately as "our own beloved Church," and of its creed as " our own thirty-nine Ar ticles," yet, incredible as it may appear to every Christian gentleman, he does not belong to the one, nor has he sub scribed to the other. lie is, we are ashamed to say, the Pre.byterian minister of a chapel somewhere in Chelsea." MILITARY ESTIMATE OF MR. KINGLAKE'S HIS TORY.--The Quarterly, following the Edinburgh Las done for the military part of "Eothen" what the Edinburgh effected for the historical narrative, so that the two portly volum s are now resolved into heaps of matter morally like those Danish mounds of which geologists make so much at present. It would be very hard for them, however, to extract anything useful out f the debris of Mr. Kinglake's nine years' work. The Quarterly writer has evidently had the assistance of Sir George Brown's accu rate knowledge of the particular scenes in which he bore a part, and contradicts a h u i his officershboeraittoi i yb the hs It e w t i a t ir h sm t yw a r eo t i a fi r Prancel y t hat m decisivenesssahrosshould ladl a C n a d ia r obert unimpeacha bl e other know in what manner the overgrown pamphlet which as sailed them has been treated by the princit al periodicals in England, which in that treatment but indicated the sense entertained of thi n mi sc hi evous book by the o ffi cers of the British army who fought against and with our sturdiest enemy and our most valiant ally. The Quarterly shows how Mr- Kinglake rewarded Admiral Dundee by a charit able silence for the hospitalities of the fleet. Had not criti cism so scalped the work, our ambitious o ffi cers might re gret that they were not all fortunate i n being able to extend such small favours to the illustrious visitor to the East in 1854.—.4inny and Aavy gaztuf. 1021 191 10 THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1863. MARKETS—This Day. MARK •LANE. The wheat trade in the leading country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and, in some instances, fine parcels realised slightly enhanced rates. The supplies of spring corn on offer were small, and the value of all descriptions was well supported. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at full prices. Advices from New York state that good and fine wheat and flour were scarce, and that the business doing for ex port to England was much restricted. On the Continent, the corn trade continues flat. Very small supplies of English produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted 11,179 quarters of wheat ; 8,435 barley; 37,365 oats; 1,710 beans; 3,562 peas; 139 tares; 13,463 linseed; 3,610 oil seeds ; 2,00 b maze ; 20 sacks, and 16,262 barrels of tihur. The condition of the home-grown wheat received fresh up to-day was good, but the arrivals were on the usual limited scale. The trade, owing to increased firmness in the country markets, and to the apparent desire on the part of the Federal Americans for war with this country, showed more activity than on Monday last, and, in some instances, an advance of is per quarter was realised. We may observe, however, that the trade was not so animated as on Friday last. At the close of business a fair clearance was affected. Holders of foreign wheat were very firm, and although buyers sh .wed less inclination to operate than on Friday, a fair business was transacted in all good and fine qualities, and prices had an upward tendency. The show of granaried samples was large—of parcels ex ship—but moderate. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, and the quotations were well supported. The supply of English barley was very small, and a very moderate quantity was received from foreign ports. Generally speaking, the demand ruled inactive; neverthe less, both grinding and distilling parcels changed hands at full currencies. Malt was in fair average request, at quite previous ratss. The supply of foreign oats was large; hut of English, Scotch, and Irish, the receipts were very small. Good and fine corn moved off freely at an advance of 6d per quarter, compared with Monday last Inferior qualities, however, met with somewhat inactive sale; nevertheless prices were supported. With beans, the market was scantily supplied, and the trade ruled firm, on rather higher terms. Peas wero in small supply, and steady request, at full currencies. The supply of barrel flour was moderately good, and fine qualities were very firm, at an a tvance of 6d. Town and com..try made qualities were unchanged in value from this day se'nnight, and the demand, on the whole, ruled steaay. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day. Most kinds were in fair request, at about stationary prices. The general quality of both the beasts and sheep was inferior. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were seasonably extensive as to number, and excellent condition. Those from Ireland were trifling, but rather a large supply reached us from Scotland, mostly of prime quality. Crmpared with Monday last, there was rather more life in the demand, nevertheless Thursday's improve ment in the value of the best breeds was not generally sup ported. The top quotation was 4a 8d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,600 Scots horns and crosses ; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland, 420 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 20 oxen and heifers. With most breeds of sheep we were fairly supplied, and their general quality was prime. Nearly all breeds met a slow sale, yet no change took place in prices. Prime Downs, in the wool, realised 5s 8d ; out of the wool, 4s 8d to, in some instance, 48 10d ; prime half breeds, 48 6d ; prime Lincolns and Leicesters, 4s to 4s 4d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 800 lambs came fresh to hand, and the arrivals from other quarters were good. The lamb trade was in a sluggish state, on rather easier terms—viz., from 6s 4d to 7s 6d per 81bs. The supply of calves was very moderate, and the veal. trade ruled steady, at full prices. We have to report a dull sale for pigs, at barely late rates.

This morning Joseph Brookes, aged 27, convicted at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, underwent the extreme penalty of the law in front of Newgate, for the brutal and unprovoked murder of the police-constable Davey, at Acton. The crowd wss not so numerous as on many former oc casions, but it was remarked that a large number of the Metropolitan Police were present. Since the wretched man's condemnation he has conducted himself quietly, but up to the last few moments of his existence protested that he was not the murderer, and that it was his brother Isaac who fired the shot, although the evidence on the trial, and particularly that of Sarah Lake, to whom the wretched man was engaged, pointed to a very different conclusion ; for she stated that it was the convict Joseph that left the house with the gun on the night of the murder, and that Isaac remained at home. His statements, have, however, been so contradictory that the officials were satisfied he was fabricating a number of untruths to screen himself, and the result of his application to the Secretary of State for commutation of his sentence was received by him with much despondence. He appears to have in early life entered the army, enlist _ _ ing in the Royal Artillery, and was in the Crimea, India, and China during the war, but has been twice a deserter, and such at the time of the murder, the military authorities being in search of him. The exhortations of the Reverend Mr. Davis, the ordi nary, do not appear to have had much effect upon him, although he listened attentively, but it may be said to be a passive attention. This morning at half-past seven, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Lawrence and Mr. Sheriff Jones, with Mr. Under sheriff Macreil and Mr. Under-sheriff Ferrer arrived at the gaol, and at a quarter to eight were introduced by the Rev. Mr. Davis and Mr. Jonas to the prisoner's cell. He appeared quite unmoved at his near approaching end, and, in reply to questions put to him, he replied he had nothing to say. He was then conducted to the press-room, where, after a short interval, Calcraft was introduced. He at once arose and submitted passively to the bracing and pinioning, and seemed in no way concerned, Some few minutes elapsed amid a dull monotonous silence, when he was again asked if he had anything to say, when he replied "Nothing." The procession was then formed, the chapel bell tolling, and the culprit walked with a firm step and mounted the scaffold. As soon as he got there he requested to speak to Mr. Davis, the ordinary, to whom he freely admitted his guilt, and the justice of his sentence. He said it was his hand that fired the shot, and that his brother had nothing to do with it. The cap was then drawn over his head, the rope adjusted, and in a few moments the wretched man was launched into eternity. His struggles were brief. After hanging the usual hour the body was cut down, and will be interred within the precincts of the prison this evenin LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF ARCHES. (Before Dr. Lushington.) THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY THE REY. J. JONES AGAINST THE REV W. E. JELF. Sir R. PhilAmore, who appeared for the promoter of the suit, said that he understood all opposition was withdrawn. Mr. Jelf had officiated in an unlicensed building in the parish of Llanaber, Merionethshire, and he (Sir R. Philli more) now applied that the articles should be admitted, and Mr. Jelf condemned in costs. Dr. Twiss, on the other hand, contended that Mr. Jelf had unintentionally offended against the law, but he main tained that the defendant ought not to be condemned in costs, inasmuch as there had been no opposition to the bishop's authority. All that was alleged was that Mr. Jelf had trespassed upon the rights of the rector of Lianaber. Dr. Tristram, on the same side, argued that the defendant had 33.9 t offended against the canon law, and ought not to be condemned in costs. Dr. Lushington said he should like to consider the articles betore proceeding to pass sentence. It appeared that Mr. Jelf had acted erroneously, and he had violated the com mon law if he had not violated Ihe canon law. He could not see any difference, for he held that in such a case the common law stood is high as the canon law. Dr. Twi.s said he had not seen the articles, The case was then ordered to stand over. MOLTNEUX V. BAGSHAWE. This was a pros: eding, by letters of request from the diocese of Ely, by the Rev. J. H. Molyneux, Incumbent of St. Gregory and St. Peter, Sudbury, against the Rev. E. S. Bagshawe. The articles alleged that the reverend gentle man had officiated and preached in the chapel of the union workhouse, the same being in his parish, without his con sent and against his wish. Ihe question was whether the circumstances took the case out of the statute law. Dr. Lushington said he would take time to consider his decision. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. WESTMINSTER. THE USE OW THE BELT AGAIN I—A rufll inly-looking fellow named Cornelius Dunden, a private in the 3d Mid dlesex Militia, was charged with committing a violent as sault upon Michael Devine, a shoemaker, by striking him with his belt. It would appear from the evidence adduced that prisoner, who, with his regiment, has lately been called out for drill, entered the house of Mr. Richard Harwood, coffeehouse-• keeper, King's-road, Chelsea, at one o'clock on Sunday morning in a state of drunkenness, and taking a bottle of rum and three shillings out of his pocket, placed them on one of the tables. One of the shillings rolled off, the pri soner accused complainant of stealing ic, whereupon a wrangle and subsequently a struggle occurred between them, in the course of which the prisoner, unbuckling his belt, dealt complainant several severe blows with it, upon his head, from the effects of which he bled copiously. The landlord of the coffee shop then went for a policeman, and having procured the assistance of Seymour 187 B, the pri soner was conveyed to the station ; and it was found noes • nary to fetch a doctor to dress complainant's wounds, as be had suffered very much also from loss of blood. The accused made no reply to the charge, and Mr. Dayman, after animadverting in strong terms upon the use of the belt, committed the prisoner for 14 days to hard labour in the House of Correction. THE ST. GILES'S MURDER. —The man arrested at Cardiff was, after examination before the authorities, discharged. The police authorities of London have directed their exertions in another quarter to-day, and it is to b e hoped that success will attend their open ations. THE LATE FATAL MUTINY AT BLACKWALL.

His claims to the blue riband ar, second to none, for the moment he was called on he answered, and woil very cleverly ; and as sat_ charometer was behind him, he has thus indirectly beaten more horses than any animal in the race. That he will re present Mr. Naylor instead of Carnival, the state of the market, as well as the absence from the heath of the latter for several days, will prove; and it must be not a little gratifying to Mr. Naylor to find his own original predilec tion for Macaroni was verified, while all his friends gave the preference to Carnival. For Hospodar's defeat ; neither the French party nor the public were prepared, as was evi denced by the piles of money that went on him. But a few of the best Newmarket ju iges, wbo had watched him do his work for the two or three previous days, came to the conclusion that Jennings was galloping his horse too much, and that he would very likely be sore by the day. And under this impression they fell back upon Macaroni, and saw both their fears of ono and hopes of the other confirmed by the decision of the judge. That the French horse could not move was evident directly he cantered to the post; neither did the ground agree with him, and he was fairly beaten in the bottom, cutting up so very diffe rently from the manner we saw him do last year, that Ws running cannot be taken to be correct. King of the Vale, considering he was hardly "up to the mark," ran a good horse, and by the St. Leger time will turn the tables on both of those who finished before him. My selected Citadel obtained an easy victory for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, as a mare shaped like Teterrima was quite unfitted to get the Cesarewitch Course, and it was proved in the Biennial that Lord Clyde could not beat him, while little danger was to be apprehended from the noisy Vanguard, who broke down badly in the race, or the ill-shaped Barba does, who has never yet won a race, and hardly ever will, if looks go for anything. For the Newmarket Two-Year- Old Plate, brought forward from Thursday, 20 horses ran, the only large field of the meeting. As usual there was great anxiety evinced to get a peep at the youngsters, a number of whom it was necessary to saddle on the Heath, the stables only affording room for some dozen to perform that necessary operation, so few cared to be at the trouble of going there, but waited to see them assembled at the starting-post. All duly made their appearance, but the best louking of them, a colt by Brother to Bird on the Wing, who being very restive and unruly, threw Aldcroft a stunning fall a second or two after he mounted, which completely incapacitated him from riding, and the horse was sent home. Queen of the Vale, the only one I selected to beat the field, had no difficulty in cutting down her opponents. The One Thousand, from the heavy wagering which took place on it, induced almost as many to attend at the saddling as were present at that interesting proceed ing for the greater event on Tuesday, and happily the cold ness of the afternoon induced the trainers of the ten com petitors to make use of the saddling stables, where those interested got a more satisfactory look at them than they would have enjoyed on the dusty plain. All having pre viously run this year except Lady Augusta, Tornado, Marigold, Cadeau, and Tease Me Not, they of course attracted the greatest share of attention. Lord Stamford's filly when pulled out astonished every body, so greatly has she grown and improved in every way since last year, while her bright coat and muscular appearance showed the immense pains Joe Dawson had be • stowed on her. Tornado, on the contrary, pleased nobody, which was not surprising, as she looked but a mere cob be side Lady Augusta, and her feet were so shelly that an) one could see it would be impossible for her to gallop with freedom on ground so hard. Cadeau, though in beautiinl condition, looked scarcely anything bigger or better than she was as a two year old, and the same may be said of Tease Me Not, whom George Oates brought to the post fine as a star. Marigold, who was out for the first time, looked more adapted for a spin in a T.Y.C. handicap than to take Part in a contest of this kind. None of the others attracted much attention except Amelia, whose joints looked nothing improved by her sojourn at Newmarket, and as she evi dently " felt'' the ground when she cantered, she gradually receded in the betting until she reached 6 to 1, and another point or two might be had for the asking. Marigold, too, went back when seen, but Rot so Tornado, who re• mained to the finish almost a better favourite than the magnificent daughter of Stockwell and Meeanee, The result was quite in accordance with the betting, for although Lady Augusta obtained the most hollow victory ever seen for this event, Tornado was almost first in trouble, and was beaten so easily that I am sure 141 b would hardly bring them together. But this was not all. Lord Stam ford's second string, Flying Fish, proved herself to be but . _ little inferior to Lady Augusta, and numbers now believe that the little 'un could have won, had Lord Stamford so desired—a good proof of how correct his lordship was when he entrusted her with a large stake fo c the Spencer Plate, which she alone lost by being worn out by the numerous false starts, which, happily, now that the "fly" races are abolished, will be of rarer occurrence. The York Spring Meeting is the great fixture of the early part of the week, as Salisbury is of the latter, and at each place there is every appearance of some excellent sport, for there is sufficient horses in training in each district to produce well-filled cards. At York there is also the attraction of the Rawcliffe sale of yearlings, which brings buyers from all parts of the country. The Craven Stakes is the first race in the programme, and nine nomi- nations are affixed to it, and I think the winner will be Comet. The Knavesmire Plate, for twos and threes, has a respectable entry, of which Livingstone is decidedly the best of the three-yr-olds, and Measure-for-Measure, and Lady Nichol of the two-yr-olds. The starters for the Great Northern Handicap will in all probability comprise Piccador, Carbineer, Joey Jones, Haddington, Adven turer, Welcome, Queen of Trumps, Prologue, Donny. brook, Laura, Middlewatch, Physalis colt, Fantail, Man fred, and East Lancashire. Of this division Carbineer has been made a favourite, and no horse can be better. It was reported last week that he had broken down, but from in- quiries I have made I find that the horse has not only not broken down but that he was never better, and those who have been taking liberties with him will have to pay dearly to get out. Joey Jcnea will doubt less go to get a line for National Guat d; but although he won at Doncaster very cleverly, the difference of weight and company will be such as to stop him here. Haddington, at his original weight, would have had a good chance, but the penalty, I conceive, will be as fatal to him as to Joey Jones. Adventurer may be started by his new owner, with a ♦iew of recovering some of the money dropped on the Metropoli tan, but I have no opinion of his chance now. Welcome will like the course better than he did at Newmarket, but he is only a very moderate animal. Queen of Trumps goes fast, but will not get home. Prologut is turned loose, but she is so horribly bad she cannot be trusted. Donnybrook is looked on to have an outside Derby chance, and if so he ought to run in front here. Laura is well in, but not very fast ; still she is sure to stay, and will heat a great many more than beat her. The Physalis colt has been amiss since Newmarket, but if he is all right again he must have a kind of a chance. for he could scarcely be as bad as his running inferred him to be. The race in my opinion is at the mercy of Lord Zet land, 'will either CARBINEER or PICC,ICOR, and next to his lordship's representative I expect to find FANTAIL and the PHYSALIS COLT. The Flying Dutchman's Handicap will be a match between GENERAL HEssE and the SENORITA COLT. LIVINGSTONE ought to win the Eglin, ton Stakes. The other items are yet to close. I would _ _ merely remark that investments on MACARONI at his present price for hedging purposes are sure to be remune- rative, as the horse is certain, bar accident, to see 3 or 4 to 1, A FRESH MAN.
