PROSPECTUS. This Bank is established in order to meet a want which has long been experienced in Mexico—the want of those assured Banking facilities which have done so much to stimulate the industry and develop the resources of other countries. 'the field before such an Institution, which Mexico and the South American States present, is most inviting. Its re sources in silver are boundless, while her climate of this wonderful country is such that almost evy production of the soil can be cultivated to an extent which can scarcely be imagined. With the hoped-for success which is to be anticipated from the policy of the new Government, Mexico has a great future before her. Money there commands at all times a high re munerative price, ranging from 10 to 18 per cent., and, as the field will be almost free, the Bank will be able to select those securities which are ample and undoubted, on which to make its several advances. - It will also constitute a favourable feature of the Mexican Bank that, as a strong London Institution, which has already secured to itself promise of the support of influential Mexi can and South American houses, it will command the confi dence of local depositors, who are at the present ti me in the hands of private money-dealers, but who, so soon as such a Banking Institution is established 'in their midst, will lose no time in transferring considerable deposits to such esta blishment, as offering a security, ample and sufficient, which the private money-dealers there do not afford. The Mexican Bank will commence its operations in Mexico, and the magnitude of the field there may be estimated by the subjoined statistics : Imports i i silver into Great Britain from Mexico and South America (except Brazil), for tne eleven months ending November 30, 1863 ........ £5,678,913 Imports of gold ditto ditto 3,493.914 1 he exports from this country, consisting of Manchester goons and other liritish manufactures, are very considerable: and this trade will no doubt be extensively augmented as the empire becomes consolidated and the confidence of merchants in the stability of the Government is secured. The Directors of the Mexican Bank will also establish a Branch in Valparaiso, the great commercial sea port of Chili, and where the want of the facilities which such an institu tion could afford is much experienced by English and Ameri can, as well as the native mercantile firms, carrying on the great trade of that important territory. Arrangements are in contemplation for the incorporation of an existing successful Banking Institution with the Mexi can Bank. No promotion money will be given in the establishment of the Mexican Bank, preliminary expenses to be confined to necessary disbursements. The remuneration of the Directors left to the Share holders. Prospectuses and forms of applications for shares may be obtained of the Brokers, Bankers, Solicitors, and at the Tem porary Offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share has been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company. The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit will be returned without deduction, and should the number al lotted be less than the number applied f, r, the payment in excess will be applied towards the amount due. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To be retained by the Bankers. No. To the Directors of the Mexican Bank (Limited).

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BETTING AT MANCIIESTEIt-SXTt'PDiY. Unjust and Unwise Commutation of Townley's Sentence, With the exception of Chester Cup, there is not a volume open in this market on the Spring Handicaps; and, judg ing by the few commissions that have been executed on the Roodee event, bookmakers are not likely to commence operations on the Northamptonshire Stakes, City and Suburban, or Metropolitan Stakes just at present.—For the Chester Cup, the only horse really in demand is Accident, about whom 16 to 1 was freely taken. 20 to 1 was laid to a little money against Anfield, but less than 30 to 1 was re fused about Blackdown,—Betting on the Derby, Two Thou sand Guineas, and Liverpool Steeple Chase was flat; and there was no new feature in connection with the Waterloo (Coursing) Cup. Closing prices : (rROM A CORRESPoNDENT.) Townley's case grows worse and worse the more nne hear of it. At tiret a pair of country magistrates and a pair of country mad ductors rescued this wilml thurdercr—now admitted by the authorities never to have been mad at all— from the rightful punishment pronounced upon him ; and now four other persons, equally sitting in secret, like tho Inquisition, with closed doors behind the back of the public, have consigned him to a punishment that is not the right one. First, the murderer is wrongly rescued from the right s n , g i l n y s t s e e a n d t sentenced rewarding to e Town leypum punishment; forsi h i e s n h ; d e nl o on u w s o c thi r 'e i e ui r is e w , wo b rr y do providing for him like a gen tleman for litc, he is to be provided for for life in a way a little less comfortable. Penal servitude is notoriously a mockery of punishment. It is the mere farce of penal dis cipline. Multitudes of honest labourers are not near so well off as convicts under sentence of penal servitude. Miners are not so comfortable. The labouring poor, on 10s. or 12s. a week, are not so well off in one respect, except that of mere confinement. But the convict has proper exercise in the prison grounds. A miner is as much a prisoner as a convict under sentence of penal servitude for life. No pri soners are treated so mildly, fed so well, lodged so comfort ably as the " lifers." The alleged reason is that they cannot bear severer discipline for so long a term. The day labourer, worn out with 12 or 16 hours a day, toil exposed to all weathers, has no sympathy ; but the felon, the manslaughterer, the robber with violence, who has ga rotted, maimed, and crippled his victim fcr life, the wilful, heartless, cold-blooded murderer, like Townley, whose sen tence is commuted, is to be treated tenderly and lovingly. Penal servitude is the life of a prince compared with the penalty inflicted by the workhouse for the unpardonable crime of poverty. The prison is a palace to the union. And then there is the ticket of leave, and the money which the police slip into the ticket of leaver's hand to keep him " honest"—" Heaven save the mark l" The convict in penal servitude is well provided for when ill or disabled by casual accident, He is treated as well as a gentleman in his own house, in the infirmary of the prison, where he has wine, beef tea, and every comfort and oven luxury, to say nothing of such mere necessaries as well warmed, well aired, and ventilated rooms. But has the honest labourer any thing like this, when disabled by sickness or accident ? No I They are left to the alternative of death from want, or the tender mercies of the workhouse; for their crime—poverty --is more severely visited than housebreaking, highway robbery, manslaughter, or murder, when the sentence is commuted by some quibble from hanging to penal servi tude.

It is said that, after bang wrongly reprieved, Townley could not be rightly hung. Why not ? The law is that when a mur derer who goes mad after sentence and before execution, and is, therefore, reprieved, comes to his right senses again, the course of justice shall go on as if he had not been mad at all. What can there bo in the fact of insanity having supervened, even where it really has supervened, to frustrate justice and rescue a man sane when he mur dered his victim, and sane at the present time, from the penalty due to his guilt. But Townley has not been mad at all. Townley's case is different from the case of a man who really goes mad after sentence and before execution, Townley is now proved never to have been mad, but only wrongfully reprieved. And because Sir George Grey has made an egregious blunder, therefore, it seems, justice is to be frustrated and the law brought into disrepute and con tempt. It is hero that the principal point is. The law is brought into disrepute and contempt. An impression is abroad among the homicidal and dangerous classes that they have only to chew insanity, or to commit crimes suffi ciently abnormal and unnatural, and the mad doctors and mad psychologists, will at once raise a clamour that they are insane, and ought to escape punishment. That this impression has got abroad is owing entirely to the mon strous failure of justice in the case of Townley, and some other like Jessie M'Lachlan's. This impression, so pre judicial to the safety of society, so dangerous to human life, is only increased and confirmed by this last blunder of com muting Townley's sentence. While he was kept in a lunatic asylum under reprieve, as mad, the criminal and murderer class knew that he might be brought out and hung directly he was proved sane. But now they see that comfortable provision for life is the punishment for murder, the natural tendency of this lesson is to make them believe that they can commit the same crime with impunity. Penal servitude in its pre sent form is a less hard life than the criminal classes are used to, out of prison. There is nothing incon venient but the confinement, and there is always the hope and expectation of a ticket of leave, by hypocritically cajol ing the chaplain, and currying favour with the parish authorities. This commutation of Townley's punishment is flagrantly against public policy and against justice. It is an encouragement to murder, and danger to human life. False mercy to the murderer is real cruelty to society. But why did Sir George Grey have all these inquiries done in secret? He might not have power to make witnesses give evidence on oath in these inquisitorial and secret in vestigations ; but he could have allowed as many persons as he pleased, including reporters for the press, to have been present. He could have ordered practical lawyers to have been present to watch the conversation between Townley and the doctors and magistrates, on every occa sion when examinations have taken place. It is not to be tolerated that secret inquisitorial tribunals, consisting of four persons, whether doctors or justices of the peace, or both, shall have power to set aside and annul the sentence of a superior judge, after a solemn open trial before a jury, with able counsel on both sides, and force the Government to arrest the course of justice, and save murderers from the consequences of their guilt. It is doubtful if there should be any power given to a functionary like a Secretary of State who is not a lawyer, and has no experience in the trial of criminals, to commute the sentences of the courts of justice; in other words, to rescue murderers and robbers from condign punishment. This is just as bad in principle as the powers given by the Act of 1840 to a couple of pro vincial mad doctors, and a couple of country booby justices. It is hoped that the present session will not be allowed to pass without a thorough and sweeping reform.: (From the Medical Times and Gazette) It is of great importance that justice should be at last vin dicated, if not fully satisfied. No convicted murderer, on ce respited, has ever, we believe, been delivered over to the executioner; we are therefore content that Townley should be now condemned to penal servitude for life. But of per haps still greater importance in our eyes is the complete v indication of rational medicine contained in thi s last medi cal report—of true medical science as distinguished from the it hthaezygrtohuenordisesoonf which h bl i e t enthusiasts was in h attempted to humanity, found . m Town ley's lunacy, and you may do away with punishment for ra cr i me altogether. for you do away with crime. Let a man be shrewd enough, or brazen enough, to ass e e er h t, that as ,h he was brought into the world with out his l v therefore ho is not justly responsible for e w a hat he n does a in it, and no man has a right t o judge him for an y of his acts — though he is ready t o judge and punish others, as Townley did that poor girl—let him only show or affect such cynical indifference and depravity as will shock any amiable expert who may examine him, and he will be deemed so wicked that he ought not to be punished. The greater his crime and hardness of heart the greater his safety. Admit such doctrine as this—and wo may as well-- we must logically accept the famous or rather infam ous theory propounded some years ago by a cele brated authoress—that no man is responsible for his acts ; he is the creature of his organisation, the victim of his cerebral and corporeal endowments. Townley adopted this theory, and, to his surprise, found that it was accepted as proof of his irresponsibility — to his surprise, say, for ho himself acknowledges, " I expected to be hanged, because I killed her ; and am not such a fool as not to know that the law hangs for murder." Unfortunately for him, he has now fallen into the hands of able and scientific physicians, who, while they have deservedly high reputations for their knowledge of insanity, have no crotchets as to crime and insanity being convertible terms, and have no special ten der desire to protect criminals against society, while for getting that society needs protection from criminals; they bring to bear on this case what are called common-sense and v iews, as well as scientific and special knowledge, the r esult is a most admirable report , in which the so-called c r l i s ch indebted We will only add that society at large is e ni ssure they put to the magistrates of Derbys hire for thbeeepnr ei r perti on the Home Secretary. H ad it not thesis f o or th o f Twnley's nacity and courage, the baseless hvye-pbo soa " proofs" of his insanity are blown to the wind ee n exploded, and a most dangerous pr i ns anity would probably neveru _ eeedent____:L____--.....clllahave been established.

Gibson, with Rear-Admiral Sir James Hope, K.C.B„ the future naval Commander •in- Chief of her Majesty's ships on the North American and West Indian stations, on board, sailed from Spithead for her destination at daylight on Sa turday morning. The Nile, screw line-of-battle ship, re turns to England with Rear-Admiaal Sir Alex. Milne, K C. 8,, the late naval C o mmander-in-Chief, immediately on the Duncan arriving out. The Duncan made a final trial of speed at the measured mile on Friday, when she attained a mean speed, with full boiler power, of 11 knots, and with half boiler power 9.200 knots. The ship drew 23ft Sin of water forward, and 52ft Sin aft. The wind was strong from the N.W., and there was a scarcity of steam during two of the runs, or the rate of speed would have been some what higher. The machinery worked perfectly, and the Duncan enters upon her maiden cruise the handsomest, and most probably the fastest, line-of-battle ship afloat. The Duncan, brought to outside Plymouth Sound yester day morning, and having received from a steam tender su p iernumerary seamen for the fleet on the American station, continued her voyage to Halifax and the West Indies. The Orontes, screw troopship, Capt• Henry W. Hire, will embark to-day at Portsmouth 17 officers and 54 men, women and children, belonging to various regiments serving in the Mediterranean, for conveyance to Gibraltar and Malta. From the latter place the Oroates will proceed on to Corfu, where she will embark the 2d battalion of the 6th Foot, which she will take to the West Indies, and return thence to Spithead with the first battalion of the 14th Foot. The Orontes is termed in official phraseology an "improved' Himalaya. The actual difference in the two vessels is that while the Himalaya is continually at work, the Orontes is continually under repair. On Saturday she was tested at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, after being fitted with a temporary crank of her foremast engine, and attained a mean speed of 12.336 knots. We have to record the death of Admiral George Hender son, who expired on the 23d ult. at Middle Deal Kent, aged 78. The deceased entered the navy in 1794 as part of the retinue of Admiral Lord Bridport, to wham his father for some time acted as secretary. While serving in the West Indies as master's mate to the Ulysses, 44, Mr. Henderson assisted at the captare of Tabago, in 1803. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant: by Sir Samuel Hood, and ap pointed to the Alligator, 28, which, under Capt. C. Richard son, forme :1 part of the force employed at the reduction of the colony of Surinam. In this service he was severely wounded. After the surrender cf Madeira he returned to England with Sir Samuel Hood's despatches and strong re commendations, which secured him, in 1808, a commander's commission. During the Walcheren expedition he particu larly distinguished himself, and for the third time was honourably mentioned in the Gazette. He obtained post rank on the Ist of August, 1811, accepted flag rank in 1846, and was appointed vice-admiral in 1855 and admiral in 1860. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. John B. Michell to the Meander; George Williams, master, to the Euryalus; George Gilpin, master, to the Indus, for the Constance ; Herbert S. Taylor, naval cadet, to the Prince Consort; Harcourt Popham, midshipman, to the Hector; and Wyllys H. Wyllys, master's assistant, to the Dasher. Cardinal Wiseman on the Warlike State of Europe. The following pastoral was read in all the Catho lic chapels yesterday by command of Cardinal \Vise. man : - NMl°las, by the Divine /nervy of the holy Roman Church, of the title of St, Pudentiana, Cardinal, Priest, and Archbishop of Westminster,— To our dearly beloved brethren and children in Christ, the clergy, secular and regular, and the faithful of the said diocese,-- Health and benediction in the Lord, We have scarcely entered on the new year before it be comes our duty to address you on the obligations of the Lenten fast just about to commence. You have been instructed from your tender age, taught, indeed, in your very catechisms to regard the observance of this annual ordinance as one of the earliest precepts and practices in the Church. In fact, it bears the special title, beyond almost any other ecclesiastical institution, of Apos tolical. For no one ever doubted in the ancient Church, nor are we aware that any learned man now denies, that among those traditions which are traceable, or referable, to the Apostles, the fast of Lent is certainly one. If, therefore, its conditions, however, mitigated in modern times, are still difficult and distasteful, we may well be en couraged in our compliance with them by the reflection that we share our penitential sufferings with the holiest and best of our fathers in the faith, from the earliest ages. Indeed, a link of their sensible and almost material character may bring home to our minds our bond of union and unity with the primitive Church more definitively and clearly than the subtle and complicated connections of dogmatical teaching. Indeed, so many doctrines on sin, penance, atonement, mor tification, fasting, and other religious observances now al most exclusively ours, are inculcated by the simple observ ance of Lent, that we cannot doubt that they were equally taught and ~ understood by those who not only kept more rigidly than we this yearly fast, but who must have had no intelligible grounds for keeping it, if their belief had dif fered from ours. Wherefore, dearly beloved in Christ our Lord, let us begin this year courageously by bearing the reproach and pain of His Cross, during this spring season, of sowing in tears that we may later reap in joy. For this is the order and course which our Divine Master has prescribed. You have been always taught that this season of Lent is one of fasting and bodily mortification, as well as of recollection and retire ment for purposes and motives of higher importance than are these practices themselves. By these means the mind and heart are purified and sanctified ; past sins are expiated, lesser imperfections are corrected, command is obtained over passions, evil desires are repressed, self-will is curbed, obedience to God's laws is enforced, and a spiritual manliness is produced or en couraged, in the soul to wrestle with the trials of life, and of the spirit, in resignation, patience, and conformity to the sublime will of God. Moreover, the relaxed spring of our religious duties is in a manner wound up, and moves with new energy the me chanism of daily and hourly duties for the rest of the year. During this period our prayer besomes more frequent and more fervent, our meditation is more concentrated ; our de votions in presence of the most adorable sacrament, publicly exposed, are more continuous and more recollected, our fre quentation of the Sacraments is better prepared, our hearing of the Divine Word is more repeated and more docile, and our entire mind, undistracted by the frivolous or dissipating amusements of the outer world, is brought down to a graver tone, and thinks more seriously, and feels more deeply on eternal truths. In other words, dearly beloved, since a mutual anxiety comes over us, on entering a new year, as to who amongst us will reach its end, and who, as some must, will drop on the road, and be lost for ever to this earth, the Church seizes on this solemn feeling, and matures it into a wise thought of preparation for what may this year, and will assuredly some coming year, befal us. Not in the spirit of timid solicitude, still less in the superstitious terror of an imaginary presenti ment, but with the calm foresight with which at the year's close a prudent man balances his past accounts, and readjusts his future expenses, is this preparation to be made. And thus every year will prepare for that possible event, which may God avert from each among you, of its being your last, These almost natural graces which the fast of Lent brings with it are greatly increased by its almost necessary accom paniments of prayer and charity. That prayer which is joined to fasting is ever commended in Scripture as peculiarly powerful in propitiating the Divine wrath. We surely stand much in need of such supplication at the beginning of this new year. Its future is indeed as yet dark to us, but it is not ominously dark ? Do not clouds, fore boding storms, hang round the entire horizon, in every quarter of the heavens ? The North, in spite of winter's rigours, see armies advancing to invade and to repel; and we may soon hear that blood has melted and defiled the earth's mantle of snow. And the South threatens too; dis satisfied within itself, agitated, divided, with its sacrilegious thirst unslaked, with its cravings after usurpation unsatis fied, it is sharpening its sword for new inroads into the pa trimony of other States. The East, in Europe and in Asia, is no less convulsed or menacing. Whatever may be our political opinions,we must all bewail the savage warfare which is depopulating and ravaging unfortunate Poland, for which the Holy Father has invited all to pray. And thence round the globe, through India, China, and Japan, to New Zealand, news daily reaches us of battle and skirmish, of destruction of cities or massacres of men, amidst barbarians or semi-civilised races, whose remoteness from us ought, apparently, to have been a security against disturbance. And in the West, from which not a broad continent separates us, but with which rather a wide ocean connects us, we are promised but little prospect that the year on which we are entering will put an end to the fratricidal war that threatens almost the extermination of a grandly hope ful race. Which way shall we turn for succour or for comfort? Let us not look around us, or turn from side to side, for from none comes a cheering look. Let us rather" Lift our eyes to the mountains," to the eternal hills, " whence help will come to us. Our help is from the Lord, who made Heaven and earth." (Ps. cxxi.) Towards God, the mighty and strong, let us turn our hearts, in fasting and in prayer, that from darkness Ho may bring forth light, and from affliction gladness. But dearly beloved, for the discharge of one part of our duty, that which regards the Church of God, its peace and serenity, we have a higher encouragement than any words of ours, in a letter addressed to us by our Sovereign Pontiff, in reply to our last filial address at the close of the last and the advent of the present year. " We do not doubt," such are his venerated words, " that you continue ever, with more fervent earnestness, unceas ingly to pray and entreat our great and good God that he will command the winds and the sea, and grant to His holy Church most desirable peace and tranquillity; that He will humble all her enemies and those of this Apostolic see, and bring them back from the ways of impiety to the right road of justice and salvation." Yet, let us pray for peace, true and solid peace, only to be gained where truth and justice are betrayed or assailed by the return of evil-doers to the path of righteousness and saving faith. To these more public demands upon our earnest suppli cations during Lent, we need not add those which our own personal necessities press upon us. Each one knows best their extent, in his own case, and will apply to it the remedy so simple, and so apt, suggested by an Archangel to Tobias. " Bona est eratio cum jejunio," " Good is prayer with fast ing."—(Tob. viii, 12). After exhorting all Catholics to have recourse to prayer, and directing their attention to the orphan ages at North Hyde, to the prospects and need of aid they required, the Cardinal goes on to say — And now we will conclude by bestowing on you a blessing better than our own—one transmitted to you, through us, in the following words of our holy father, in his letter of the 14th January : " We in our turn most humbly implore God, the giver of all good gifts, that He bestow upon you all things conducing to prosperity and salvation, and that He ever pour out abun dantly upon you the gifts of Divine grace, which may like wise plentifully descend on the beloved flock committed to your watchfulness. " And as an augury, and surest pledge of the peculiar benevolence with which we embrace you, we most lovingly bestow our apostolical benediction, with the deepest affection of our hearts, on you our dear son, and on all the faithful clergy and laity entrusted to your care." Given in Westminster, and ordered to be read in all the churches and chapels of the archdiocese, on Quinquagesima Sunday, this 7th day of February, 1864. N. CARD. WISEMAN. F. Canon SEABEE, Sec.

Address of the Holstein Teachers to Duke Frederick. KIEL, Feb. 3. The address delivered by the teachers at the Holstein schools to Duke Frederick has been pub lished to-day. It runs as follows : _ Most illustrious Duke! Most gracious Prince and Lord ! We, teachers in Holstein, and representatives of many Parishes of the country, being unable to appear here early yesterday with our other colleagues, yet would not depart without the joy of having seen your Highness. We have come, like the entire people, to which we belong, and which we serve, by all the sacred feelings implanted in the infant mind, to deliver our testimony in the historic drama now being developed in our country, Your Highness! Never, so far back as the history of the people's schools in our country extends, has one idea or one conviction so universally and deeply penetrated to the hearts of the teachers, forcing them testify to it as one man. Now, however, one conviction, one feeling, one wish, We acknowledge before heaven us, and we are obliged to speak one e ft v a o s w w , that we are led by una ltera ble conviction to regard your Highness as the legitimate heir to the throne of our country, fpthulsa one pulsates in agu all e. of as our duke by the grace of God ; we bring our devotion with the consciousness that Your Highness has the same right to accept it as we have to give. We wish and implore of the Almighty that the damn — very speedily arrive when your Highness will be able to take into your own hands the government of our country, of the undivided and indis solubly connected duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, and we promise to be faithful and devoted to your Highness, as becomes subjects of our position and O ffi ce. Your Highness ! We should have utterly misconceived the meaning of a teacher's calling if, during the years when our country struggled for her rights, we had desired to con vert the quiet chambers of the school into seed-beds of po litical tendencies, as has been done in the most outrageous manner by our enemies in our kindred country of Schleswig to this hour enslaved. But we had the right, and were bound by duty, by training and discipline, to prepare the ground in the minds of growing youth, upon which the political and moral convictions of the man develop and ripen under the influence of historical events, And accord ing to this we have acted. With all industry we have im planted and fostered faith and morality, love of right and respect for the laws, and especially a love of country, founded upon knowledge of the history of our land of its people. And now, when God himself has struck off the fetters which caused our country so much misery and shame—if now the entire people looks up to heaven with thankful joy —if now the nation rises heart and hand for your High ness's right, which is identical with the country's right—if now the men and youths of the nation capable of bearing arms only await the summons of your Highness to go to battle and death for that right—these results have certainly been produced by the quiet labours of the schools. Let not your Highness forget that, however dark the clouds now rising up on our horizon, no power on earth can extinguish the light of Heaven : we build upon and trust in the fact alone that it is God himself, not we, who has created the new day now dawning upon our country. Therefore we shall continue to labour, so far as lies in our calling, that the future generation emulates its predecessors in faith and morality, in fidelity to its country and to its native ruling house, to the full extent of the character of genuine Schles-Holsteiners. And may the Lord, who holds the mighty ones of the earth in his keeping, en lighten them, and cause them no longer to prevent your Highness from assuming the govern ment of our country. The constitution secured by your Highness to the coun try promises new development to the schools, and that rise in social position to the teacher which he has so long de sired in vain. The grace and protection of the Almighty reign over our dear country ! God bless and guide our beloved Duke Frederick the Vllth. 1" NO HOME complete Without a WILCOX AND GIBBS SEWING-MACIIINE.

Although many books have been opened on the Spring Handicaps and Liverpool Grand National Steeple Chase, the transactions thereon have not been marked with any special features; in fact, speculation has been extremely limited. The horses most inquired after for Liverpool Steeple Chase have been Emblem, Wee Nell, Bantam, Sink ing Fund, and Real Jam ; and, considering that the accept ances are not published, the prices accepted about these horses are short, and present a striking contrast to those laid in the Manchester market. For the Chester Cup, Accident, Anfield, Blaekdown, and Muezzin have most admirers, the investments made on the others quoted being trivial. The Two Thousand Guineas and Derby betting present no particular change since last week.

The favourite made play at his best pace, Gray Peter lying second, Don John next, the latter refusing every fence, and on, reaching the far side was pulled up and brought back. Ironsides increased his lead as they neared the turn for home, and was upwards of a dozen lengths in advance of Gray Peter as he cleared the water. His fol lowers was less fortunate, as he jumped and fell in, sending the water in all directions.

They ran in close company to the Stand the second time, Swindler with a slight lead, followed by Hist, Gipsy, Mig nionette, Almeris, and Granny Snow in the order we have given, to the water jump, at which Swindler and Hist came to grief. This mishap left the lead with Gipsy, closely attended by Mignionette to the top turn, where the former fell and rolled over her rider, fortunately without inflicting any injury, and who was soon remounted, and in close pur suit of Almeris and Mignionette, all the o thers being out of the race through falls and refusals. The two leaders came on in company, followed at a respectable distance by Gipsy, to the brook, at which Almeris fell, and in so doing caused his follower to refuse, which enabled Gipsy to get upon better terms w ith them. Almeris was soon remounted, and got over, and won very cleverly by ten lengths; a bad third. The winner failed to secure a purchaser.
