A DIP INTO THE FUTURE. The future of the turf, so far as the coming season is concerned, is plainly perceptible. A. glimpse at it gives cheering encouragement to sporting men, and promises many months of pleasant employment. During the week the nominations for the principal Spring Handi caps have been published in The Sun, and from the list of them it will be seen that time and competition have neither impaired their numerical strength nor altered the character of the nominated competitors. First in the dear love of metropolitan turfites is the Epsom Spring Meeting, which this year gives the most unequivocal in dications of a widening popularity and an increasing prosperity. Notwithstanding the powerful attractions of the Great Northern Handicap, Chester Cup, and other spring events of a like description, the Metropoli tan Stakes has obtained its full complement of entries, whilst to the City and Suburban Handicap there is the largest number of nominations on record since the esta blishment of that race. And no wonder, considering the labour which is exerted to insure the success of those events, and the liberal amount of public money which is annually added to them. Last year the number of sub scribers to the Metropolitan was 120, this year it is 112; to the City and Suburban it was 84, now it is 108. This statement shows the increasing popularity of the last-mentioned event, and the probability that it will ultimately engross much of the interest which at present attaches to the Metropolitan. In the number of subscribers to the Newmarket Han dicap there is a diminution of thirteen, but in that of the Northampton Stakes there is an increase of ten. Owing to the stoppage of railway communication be tween London and Chester, I have not yet received a complete list of nominations for the Chester Cup. To the same cause, I suppose, must be attributed its omis sion from the official Racing Calendar, published on Thursday. The diligence of the gentleman who " does" the sporting intelligence for the daily press has already enabled us to judge of the probable numerical strength of the entries, from the list of them which has already been some days before the public. That list is, however, necessarily imperfect, the names of few of the northern horses being included in it. The comparatively scanty muster of entries for the Liverpool Steeple Chase has occasioned some disappoint ment, and is a significant indication of the approaching decline of the " cross country sport," as aepresent con ducted. Tne Miss Mowbray mania still continues ; eight fifties were booked about her on Thursday, the taker wishing to be accommodated with nine fifties more. Still, hints and inuendos are freely dropped respecting her party's intentions, which are said to be unfavour able to her supporters. "Whether these suspicions be well founded, it is bard to say. People have speculated freely about the probable 'estimate the handicapper will form of her chance, some arguing, with a good show of reason, that she will be weighted at about lOst 71b, and others maintain, with equal plausibility, that her im post will bo a little under, if, indeed, it does not exceed list. The shortness of Miss Mowbray's price in the betting would, however, seemingly warrant the suppo sition that her weight is already known. In the aggregate, the stakes ✓ which closed on Monday last have, with few material exceptions, obtained large and satisfactory entries. Among the nominators the name of the Marquis of Exeter figures with pleasing fre quency, thus rendering his retirement from the turf, which was once reported, a matter of remote proba bility. Friday Night. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-YESTERDAY. The entries for the spring handicaps, which were fixed for the 2d of January, did not come to band in due time, the delay being caused by the stoppage of the different trains by the snow. A complete entry for the Chester Cup has been the most difficult to get, and the list of 218 (the greatest entry on record), published to-day, must not yet be considere•l a perfect entry. The betting to-day only to make m•re manifest the disposition to back Miss Mowbray for the Liverpool Steeplechase-1,600 to 200 was taken twice, and 400 to 50 twice, all by one gentleman, who was' willing to go on at the same figure ; 700 to 100 was afterwards offered, but 8 to 1 being the taking price, it met with no re sponse. - Virago would have been backed for the Chester Cup at 1,000 to 30, and Cat's paw at 1,000 to 15. 3,000 to 100 was offered agst the former, and 5,000 to 100 against the latter. Newminster, who has been backed to win a great stake, is firm at 50 to 1, takers. LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE. 50 to 1 agst Miss Mowbray (taken to win 4,000).

This is a volume of the series of works of the poets which are now appearing, edited by the Rev. G.. Gilfillan. It was worthily commenced with Milton, whose poems occupied the first two volumes. The thi r d was d evo t e d t o G eorge Her bert, which was followed by Thomson's Seasons, and other poems ; and th e Present volume contains Young's Night Thoughts. Iris an excellent series, and although we are warned th a t poems w hi c h are exclusively copyright cannot be included, yet, when Dryden, Pope, Shakspea re , B yron, and Gray are i to form a part, t cannot 'oe very in comp l e t e. Th e type is excellent, and the binding servi cea bl e . It will form a handsome library edition, and will no doubt meet with the success it merits. The Church of England Quarterly Review. This number contains a variety of topics of general interest. The first paper is on Missions in India. The second is on the ever-interesting sub ject of the Condition of the Poor. It takes an en larged view of the different social evils and their causes. An article on the advantages of reforma tory schools is deferred to a future opportunity. A. criticism on Modern French Novelb would be pro fitable to some of their juvenile admirers. cc Syria, its Creeds and Prospects," is an instructive acc oun t of the different beliefs and customs of the Druses and Maronites. There are numerous literary notices, and several articles on theological subjects. The Journal of Agriculture. The first article in this quarterly i s an account of the Reaping Machine invented by the Rev. P. Bell. It is written by the i nv entor. It is followed by a paper on the Agricultural Movements in Ire .land, in which the cultivation of flax and beet -root are considered. Some notes on the Agricultural Department of the Dublin Exhibition are accom panied by illustrative figures. The forty-second number of " The Farmer's Note Book" contains some useful information on fences, potato fields, The remaining portion of the volume is de voted to the Transactions of the Highland and. Agricultural Society, of Scotland. The Art Journal. The best plate of the three hero presented to our notice is the last one, entitled " The Vintage. , " It is taken fr om St o dd ar t' s p i c t ure , i n th e V ernon Gallery, and is a most graceful and pleasing sub ject. The grape gatherers, in the back ground, are laden with their baskets of purple. treasures, and a child is sporting in the most prominent part with some who have concluded their labours. The other two engravings are " Raising the May Pole," and " Hylas and the Nymphs." The first is an amusing sketch of country people enjoying themselves on. May Day. -There is the usual amount of informa tion to be met with as regards artistic subjects in the contents of this journal, together with several minor illustrations. The Journal of Psychological Medicine, and Men tal Pathology. Edited by Forbes Winslow, M.D., D.C.L., President of the Royal Medical Society of London. There is a long article on the subject of Mr. Hill's work on crime, called " The Hygeine of Crime." A favourable opinion is given of it on the whole after epitomising the contents, although on one or two points, as for instance, the separate system of confinement in prisons, a difference of argument is maintained by the reviewer to the writer. In conclusion, it is observed that " the deep investi gation, accurate observation, and practical com ments of Mr. Hill, are most valuable. We express our firm belief that he has laid the foundation for a very great amount of improvement in the con struction of the criminal code." An interesting paper is that in which mention is made of a work lately published—The Pilgrimage of Thought. It is remarked that the " possession of knowledge does not necessarily imply the power of com municating it," but in the present case the author enjoys this special gift to a high de gree. The work is written in a graceful and fluent style, although it treats of what Carlyle calls " the misty 'sea of metaphysics." There are some extracts taken from the book called " The Perils of Genius," which contain matters worthy of attention :—" The halcyons of intellect often point to real aberration, if the perils of pre cocity be not arrested. There are many who are marked as the martyrs of thought in youth, like William Pitt and Dudley, who, indeed, were never children. Genius, like beauty, is often a fatal gift ; thought not only begins to grow, but bursts into bloom while the organism ia, as it were, still in the bud. By this forcing of the germ, the sensorial ganglion is exhausted of its energy, and the thought that was once a bright and rational thing, becomes a chaos or a blank." The Letsonzian Lectures, delivered before the Medical Society of London, by Forbes Winslow, M.D., are to appear in the numbers of this journal. The first is given this month, entitled, "The Psycholo gical Vocation of the Physician." The lecturer enters into the many duties of the physician, in a moral and theological view, as well as in a medical one, and concludes by reminding his professional brethren of their great responsibility. MISCELLANEOUS. Sharpe's London Magazine has two pretty en gravings of " The Loitering Post," and " Help at Need." "Studies of great men, No. 1," is a sketch of Lord Lansdowne. "My Old Lodger," and " Harry Coverdale" are continued. The Illustrated London Magazine maintains its interest. There are several pleasing tales in this number. The English Cyclopedia has reached the eighth number. When completed, this will form a most valuable volume of reference. It is only two shillings a part. The Family Friend and Home Thoughts are two little serials of the same class. They are use ful and entertaining for the younger members of the circle. The Penny Post is of a more religious character, and supplies a deficiency in this class of literature. The Twopenny Post is the same magazine, printed on finer paper. Our Friend is a monthly Miscellany designed for all classes. It has accordingly, political, serious, lively, romantic, instructive, and poetical departments. Hogg's Instructor is somewhat of a similar description. It has an account of " Lord Brougham," by George Gilfillan. The Dodd Family Abroad and Handley Cross are con tinued, with their usual attractions. The Gospel Magazine, and National Temperance Chronicls are two serials devoted to popular improvement. Church Parties is an essay reprinted from the Edinburgh Review for October. The first part of the fourth edition of a new series of Tracts for the Times, by J. S. Buckingham, has appeared. Deane's Illustrated Almanack is a very useful com pendium of information, being a companion for " the Country and Town House, Farm and Ware house, Church and Law Courts."
