On vmparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17 s. 100. per ounce fbr standard gold, it appear that gold le about 3-10 the per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of! gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.6} per £1 sterling. z•tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 6 -10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course. of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 157 to 1573 per cent., and the premium on gold is 93 t o 433 p er cen t. At thes e rates there is very little P r ofit on the impo r tation of gold from th e 'U n i te d States. " TITOMAS MORTIS „ IS the name of a new French tragedy, by A, F. Maunoury. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCrOBER 26, 1863, MARKETS—This Day, MARK-LANE. There was a moderate demand for most kinds of English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, and no quotable change took place in prices. Malting barley, in some instances, commanded more attention, but other ar ticles moved off slowly, at late rates. Advices from New York state that the trade for wheat and flour was firm, but that the export inquiry was much restricted. In maize, an extensive business was doing, at enhanced currencies. On the Continent, the corn trade generally is flat. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown produce were very moderate. The arrivals from foreign ports amounted to 23,560 quarters of wheat, 15.061 barley, 49,880 oats, 1,780 beans, 1,037 peas, 300 tares, 5,595 lin seed, 9,657 oilseeds, 350 maze, and 739 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, For most qualities there was a fair demand, and a clearance was effected at the rates current on Monday last. The quality of the pro duce on offer was excellent, but the attendance of buyers was by no means numerous. The show of foreign wheat on the stands was large, In all descriptions sales pro gressed slowly, yet no quotable change took place in prices compared with this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at /ate rates. The supply of English barley on sale was very moderate ; but the show of foreign qualities exhibited a slight increase. Malting q , alities changed hands somewhat more freely, at very full prices. Grinding and distilling parcels, however, were a dull inquiry, and the quotations were rather lower than on Monday last. The supply of new malt was very small ; but with old produce, the market was well supplied. The malt trade generally was dull, at about previous rates. The supply of foreign oats was very large. In the Eng- lish, Scotch, and Irish produce the market was moderately supplied, The demand for all qualities ruled heavy, and, in some instances, prices further declined 6d per quarter. Good and fine samples, however, steadily supported previ ous rates. The supply of beans was tolerably large, and the trade for all qualities was in a sluggish state, at a decline in prices of 2s per quarter from Monday last• No change took place in the value of peas; but the trade was far from active. The show of samples was small. The demand both for English and foreign flour ruled in active at late rates. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEA.SURII.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a full average time of year supply of foreign beasts on offer in our market to-day. The show of foreign sheep was good, both as to number and quality. The number of calves was by no means extensive. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were seasonably extensive, but their general quality was very middling. Prime breeds commanded a steady sale, at fully last Monday's currencies, the top figures being ss. per 81b. Second qualities of beef were steady, and quite as dear as last week; but inferior kinds were much neglected. In prices, however, no quotable change took place. From Lincolnshire. Leicestershire, and Northampton elite, we received 2,260 short horns, &c., from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 25 Scots; and from Ireland, 670 oxen and heifers. We were again fairly supplied with sheep, the general quality of which was good. The best Downs and half breeds moved off slowly, and, in some few instances, prices advanced 2d per 81b., otherwise the mutton trade was firm, at lull currencies. A few superior Downs realised ss. 8d per 8:b. Calves moved off slowly, and Thursday's advance in prices was not supported. The highest quotatijn was 42. 6d. per 81b.

The result of the primitive elections is by this time known ,o you, at least as far as the towns are concerned. The voters have been unusually numerous, and the triumph of the Liberal Constitution party is undoubted. The Govern ment may gain a few votes in the remote country districts, where it has the support of the feudal bacreaux, and is better able to make its influence felt than in the cities and towns, where even its own functionaries virtually defy the pressure it fain would exercise. But I think you may rest assured that the next Chamber will have a compact Libe • ral opposition of 300 members, and that the remaining 52 will by no means be all constant supporters of the present Government. A small compact minority is all that has been ever hoped for by the most sanguine of the Ministerialists, and, were that obtained, M. von Bismark would, doubtless, present it exultingly to his So vereign, as a proof that the nation was recovering its sanity and as an earnest of better things to come. As it is, the Opposition press already registers a complete triumph, while the Ministerialists speak with bated breath. As anticipated, it is the Fortschritt party that will chiefly gain, but there is the less need to analyse the opposition, since we know that, on the two main questions—freedom of the press and the necessity of having the budget voted by the Chamber—all shades of the constitutional party are agreed, It is seen with deep displeasure, although not altogether with asto nishment, that the King does not think it unbecoming to endeavour personally to influence the elections. You were informed of his words to the Burgomaster of Brefeld with respect to M. von Sybel, and of the letter which he conde scended to write to the paltry village of Steingrund, by way of antidote to the reports that had been based on his interview with the King of the Belgians. There is a singu lar want of taste and tact in the persons who advise his Majesty in such matters. It was reported, quite falsely, as it happens, that certain words of King Leopold, at Baden, had produced a great effect, and that the Cabinet tottered. If it was deemed really necessary to dissipate the impres sion thus made, and which of itself would soon have died away, many mays might have been found of so doing, but certainly hardly a less appropriate or dignified one than that of a letter from the Sovereign to the bumpkins of Stein grund. The system, however, is persevered in. The papers publish a telegram sent by the King to a M. von Jena- Reti lebeck, who had applied to his Majesty to know whether the Upper President at Potsdam, M. van Jagow, Coun cillor Breithaupt, of Berlin, and Major Blucher, would be agreeable to him as candidates. The King replied that they were so, and authorised the publication of that declaration. As regards the course the Government means to adopt towards the Chamber, various conjectures are made, but nothing certain is known, It is generally believed, and with good appearance of reason, that the session will be extremely short, but the best opinions are to the effect that the King will not sanction a coop d'etat. Ministers cannot expect to get any thing out of the next Chamber which was refused to them by the last. What the Chamber itself ought to do will strike most Englishmen who have fol lowed the Prussian question. It ought to make up its mind to speak very little, and to act sharply and decidedly. A leading member of the Opposition should at once move a strong vote of disapprobation of the ordinances of the Ist of June, declaring them illegal, and also a vote of censure on the Ministry. The Chamber should declare itself perma nently sitting until the committee had reported on the proposition, and returned it to the Plenum, which should then vote it at once. It is to be feared there is not much chance of this step or any tantamount one being taken There are so many persons in the Prussian Chamber who will speak in season and out of season, and so the discussion is unreasonably prolon ge d on an important matter which in reality demands only prompt decision, and the Ministers get time to manes avre. Pew words and speedy resolves are what are now wanted cn the part of the representatives of the Prussian nation. The more they talk the more they risk weakening the cause they uphold. There is believed to be no chance whatever of the King's seeing the error of his ways, although he will hardly be got to the point to which some around him would fain impel him. As to M. von Bismark, there is no doubt as to what he desires. He is here reported and is generally believed to have recently said that he hoped that in another year there would be no more constitution in Prussia. We are evidently making progress under the reign of the Prince who, not quite five years, declared that " Prussia must make moral conquests in Germany, by wise legislation at home, by ele vating all moral elem en t s, and seizing upon all elements of union." his Royal Highness the Prince Regent thus ad dressed his Council of Ministers on the Bth November, 1858 :—" A firm, consistent, and, if needful, energetic po litical conduct, coupled with prudence and circumspection, must procure to Prussia the political consideration and the power which she is not in a position to obtain through her Own material strength alone. Poor, indeed, is the perform ance that has ensued upon these words of promise. Five years later we find the Prince who spoke them trusting solely to " material strength," not only against the possible aggress ions of foreign enemies o r r i va l s, b ut against his own people and for his m ai ntenance on th e th rone of his an cestors. The difficulty about the command of the execution corps to be furnished by Saxony and Hanover jointlyhaving been gpt over, as well as those which Hanover raised with regard to the simultaneous movement of the Prussian reserve, the said execution should, in ordinary routine, take place towards the end of November, or, at latest, some time in December. This would only be the logical consequence of what has taken place, and of the phasis in which the fair now finds itself. Nevertheless, politicians are evidently unable to bring themselves to believe that the seemingly inevitable consequence will come to pass. There have been so many slips between cup and lip in this interminable Schleswig- Holstein question, that one has great difficulty i n crediting its approaching emergence from the int r i cacies of Distal discussions and the trammels of diplomatic notes. Mean while, one hears nothing more of the reported new consti tution for Denmark which was to d estroy the importance of the patent of the 30th March. The Berlin papers are still full of the Leipsic celebration, of the speeches made at the various ceremonies and dinners, of the enthusiasm excited by the appearance of the veterans, and of the satisfactory manner in which the whole affair went off. As an interesting festival, they may be said to have reason for self-gratulation. The affair would probably have had more spirit, but for the wish to avoid making it a demonstration hostile t o France. Thi s was perfectly sensible and proper, but it a little cramped the :eloquence of the patriotic speechmakers. Some of the song writers, persons of less mark and responsibility, felt themselves less shackled, and one or two of their compositions reached my hands which might not give pleasure to the defeated of Leipsic or their countrymen, in the improbable case of the poetry, for the most part very indifferent, ever reaching their hands. The French would be exceedingly wrong, however, to take offence at the demonstration, which was got up in no spirit of animosity to them, but as a politico.. liberal manifestation. It may, perhaps, also be considered to emb o dy the idea of resistance to foreign invasion, but certainly not in an offensive way to any Po wer. N ever. thei ess , it seems to have irritated the chauvinism of some of the French journals, and the Opinions Nationale plainly intimates surprise at the Germans celebrating a battle in which they were beaten, although it certainly was followed by the evacuation of Germany by the French army. Whereupon a Frankfort paper remarks that it now per fectly comprehends how the Opinions Nationale can urge France to go to war single•handed with Russia, since there can exist no possible risk for people who hold Leipsic to have been a French victory. The Succession to the Throne, The Observer of yesterday states that her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales is in an interesting situation, which may be expected early in the spring to result in an event of the greatest im• portal= to the country. The Prince and Princess of Wales. SANDRINGHAM, Oct. 25. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Prince Christian of Danmark, and the attendants, vent out shooting yesterday. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left Sandringham yesterday morning for town, after paying a visit to the Prince and Princess of \Vales. The Duke of Cambridge was accompanied to the Wolferton station by his Royal Highness the Prince o f Wales. PRINCE ALFRED.—His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, with Prince William of Hesse and their attendants, left Floors Castle on Friday afternoon. Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe accompanied their royal guests to the station, where they took an affec tionate leave of the youthful princes. The town was gaily decorated with a profusion of flags, and the square and streets were lined with a good number of spectators, who, as the noble party moved slowly onward, greeted them with hearty demonstrations of welcome. The Royal party reached Edinburgh about six o'clock, and proceeded to Holyrood Palace. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Clifton, arrived in town on Saturday f rom visiting their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham. The Duchess of Hamilton (nee Princess Marie of Baden) and Lady Mary Hamilton will shortly leave Hamil ton House, Arlington-street, for Brighton, where the duchess contemplates a protracted sojourn, having taken a mansion there for several months. The Marchioness (Frances Anne) of Londonderry has been surrounded by a large family circle at Seaham H a ll, Durham. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, the Earl and Countess Vane, the Earl and Countess of Portarlington, &c., have been among the party assembled there. Tile Marchioness (Maria) of Ailesbary has arrived in town from visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury at Savernake Park, near Marlborourh. The Earl and Countess of Scarborough have left their country seat in Yorkshire for a lengthened tour in the east—their first destination being Alexandria. THE COLONIAL SECRETARY AT BERMUDA.,—The Hon. M. G. Kern], Provincial Secretary of Bermuda, accompanied by his estimable lady, arrived here (that is at Halifax, Nova Scotia, says the Evening Express of that place, under date Friday 9th October) yesterday from the adjoining Province of New Brunswick, where we learn they have been making an extended tour. We are pleased to hear that wherever they visited they were most cordially received, as strangers always are in these Provinces. We have much pleasure as proof of this, in copying the follow ing from the lifiramichi Gleaner of the 3d inst. :—" Last week we copied a brief paragraph from the liaqax Express w hi c h stated that the Hon. Mr. Keen, Provincial Secretary of Bermuda, and his lady, had left that city for Chatham, and that they purposed to v i s it the chief p lace s on the North Shore. They arrived here idthaythweeeßkev. Dr. Rogers, Bishop of and up to Thursday remained aguests Ch a tham. The weather being for se vera l d a y s excee din g ly onTuesday with wet and disagreeable, these distinguished strangers were compelled to remain in -doors, and consequently deprived of the opportunity of visiting the settlements on the river, or of seeing the people. His lordship, to make some amends for this untoward circumstance, and to enable his respected gue sts to become a cqua i nted with some of the leading inhabitants on the river, invited a large company of ladies an d gentlemen to meet them on Monday evening laat, and as his premises were too small to accommodate the company comfortably, he entertained them in the Academy Building, the numerous rooms of which were thrown open on the occasion, The supper table was laid out in the spacious school room, which was neatly fitted up for the occasion, with rfttures, flags, and other decorations. The arrangement of the tables, and the tasteful manner in which they were set out, displayed much taste and artistic skill. The company numbered from seventy to eighty ladies and gentlemen—all of whom apparently spent a most agreeable and pleasant evening. At the supper table several personal and other toasts were given, among them—our beloved, respected, and honoured Sovereign, Queen Victoria; his Lordship, Dr. Rogers, Bishop of Chatham ; Hon. Mr. Keon and Lady ; Rev. Mr. Bacon ; the Volunteer Movement; the Ladies ; and several others, all of which were responded to. It was a very agreeable re-union of persons from various sections of the river, com • prising - all shades of opinion and of political creed ; and it was p l easa nt to see how they became cemente d , and fused into a harmonious whole. No ripple appeared on the gene rally perturbed surface; not a har s h word uttered to mar the festive scene ; or a discordant note struck to jar on the m ost sensitive ear. In fact all proce e d e d as merry and as harmoniously as a marriage bell. A. short time alter they rose from the supper table the company dispersed, pleased with the evening's entertainment. On the following day the hon. gentleman and his lady, together with a few other guests, partook of a luncheon, and spent a most agreeable a ft ern oon, at the hospitable mansion of Ri c h ar d H u t c hi son, E < at at Don t , slastown. While there Mr. Keen and lady visited the Shipyard and Steam Saw Mill. The latter was a novelty to them, as they had never seen one in operation before. They left Chatham for Halifax by way of Richi bucto on Thursday. We wish them a safe and pleasant journey to their " sunny home" in " the vexed Bermudas." YOUNG PRINCE ALFRED AND OLD LORD BROUGIIAM.—The young Prince and the old Chancellor were the most remarkable of the personages at the late gathering in Edinburgh. It was hard on Prince Alfred to require him to "do" the Social Science Congress in the midst of the vacation. But having once accepted the task, he performed it thoroughly. Addresses, sections, meetings, conrersazioni—he attended them all ; let us hope that a violent fit of mental digestion may not be the result. The Council owe him no small thanks, for evidently he was with many the chief attraction of the meeting. At the eon rersazioni, where ha goad-naturedly appeared in the High land dress, the Social Science ladies, this year more plenti ful than ever, swarmed round him, like bees round a honey jar. But indefatigable as was the Prince, the old President fairly beat him. He looked more infirm than last year, and —a confession of age which has never been extorted from him before—he condescended to read a great part of his inaugural address by proxy. But this was the only item in which he shirked. Day after day he was übiquitous— dining, discussing, complimenting everywhere. At the monster working-men's meeting he was audible throughout the huge building, and almost eloquent. Once only he broke down. In moving a vote of thanks to ono of the sectional presidents for his address, he attempted to refer to Lord Lyudhurst's death ; but after vainly trying to force the words out through his broken sobs, ho was compelled to sit down. His conduct in the chair at the closing m ee : w o i A was a wonderful display of octogenarian power. at t em porary insanity had seized the assembly, the wildest motions were made and the most outrageous nonsense e ndous, was talked; occasionally the uproar was tretmoventu but the old man, clear, prompt, and full of tae a , nd good ally brought back all parties to common son" humour. DEATH OF THE EDITOR OF THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.—Wo greatly regret to announce the death of W. J. Stewart, Esq., editor of the Illustrated London News, which occurred at his residence on Saturday last. Mr. Stewart had been for a considerable time in a weak state of health ; but we believe that his death, W hi c h resulted from disease of the heart, was quite unexpected until shortly before it took place. In him wo have lost a gentleman endeared to his friends by the extreme amia bility of his disposition, as well as a young author of real promise. We understand that a posthumous novel is already in the press, and will shortly be produced by the pub lishers of his former successful work, " Footsteps Behind Him." ILIE VENERABLE MRS. SOAIERVILLE, now in her 83d year, has n earl y com p le ted an important work. the latest discoveries embodyingconcerning the constitu tion of matter. It will embrace chapters on the solar spec trum, heat, electricity, the correlation of forces, and the :constitution of the minute atoms of animal, vegetable, and mineral substances. The book will form a beautiful illustration of its epigraph, taken from St Augustine— " Deus magnus in magnis, maxims iu minitnis." c , LAAIENNAIS : SA VIE INTIMI A LA CHENAIE," by 3, Marie Peigue, has appeared. AMERICA. REUTER'S EXPRESS. NEW YORK, OCT. 13. The steamships City of Baltimore, from Liver pool, and Columbia, from Galway, arrived here yesterday. Latest advices received in 'Washington from Chattanooga state ; " The rebels have removed their artillery from Lookout Mountain, where they had about ten pieces in position, and appear to have somewhat with drawn their forces. It is supposed they will concen. trate their artillery on Mission Ridge. Some of the enemy's pieces are very heavy, and all seem to carry well. They hold both Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge, from which they threw shells on the 4th and sth inst. "We have several lines of intrenchments, and extensive earthworks are still going on. The plan of the enemy appears to be not to attack in front, but to compel us to abandon Chattanooga by hold ing us in our present position with their army in our front, annoying us with their artillery, and breaking our lines of communication by cavalry raids in our rear. The last part of this programme is now being carried out by 'Wheeler's cavalry, which managed to cross the Tennessee at Cotton Port Ferry, near Nashville. After crossing, the main body moved in a northern direction. Part of the force fell in with the train of the 14th Army Corps in the Sesquatchy Valley, and destroyed ,between two and three hundred waggons, thirty of them being loaded with ammunition, and the remainder with clothing and supplies. Part of a Federal cavalry division, consisting of the 2d Indiana, Ist Wisconson, and Ist East Tennessee cavalry, then came up and attacked them. A running fight en sued, in which 120 rebels were killed and wounded, and about 60 of our men. On the 7th a general order was issued in accord ance with instructions from the War Department consolidating the 20th and 21st corps into the 4th, and ordering their commanders, Generals MiCook and Crittenden, before a court of inquiry at In dianapolis. General Rosencranz officially denies having brought any charges against General Milroy and Crittenden. With the assistance of reinforcements already ar rived, movements will soon be made to drive the enemy from our front. The army is well sup plied with everything but clothing and blankets, tho want of which causes considerable suffering. All the wounded capable of being moved have been sent north. Our casualties in the late battles will not be less than 15,000. Wheeler's cavalry was attacked by Colonel Crook on Wednesday, and defeated with a loss of 150 killed and wounded, 300 prisoners, and three pieces of artillery. in a subsequent fight near Fayetteville they lost 300 more prisoners. At last accounts they were retreating to the interior, pursued by Federal cavalry. Roddy, with 100 rebel cavalry, has crossed the Tennessee. He passed through Larkinville on Thursday, going in the direction of 'Winchester. There seems to be good reason for believing that the rebels were fighting among themselves last Monday, NO or 600 being killed or wounded. De serters differed in their statements as to the cause and force engaged. One version is that some Georgia troops refused to croes the Chickamauga, and that Withers' division was sent to compel them. Another story represents that Tennessee troops refused to obey orders, and Longstreet's forces were sent against them. A line of battle and the flash of guns could be distinctly seen from the mountain tops. This occurred on Mon day, at the time of their cannonading, from which it was concluded that this was the nature of their trouble. A despatch from Knoxville, dated Oct. 11th, states that General Burnside advanced along the line of the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, on Thursday and Friday. He overtook a rebel force under Jackson and Williams, on Sa turday, at Blue Springs. A skirmish took place. The rebel firing was sharp and de structive. They were, however, driven from the field at sundown. Darkness prevented pursuit. The rebel force, estimated at 6,000, retreated on the Greeville road. Despatches from Washington state that on Satur. day a force of Kilpatrick's cavalry attempted a re connaissance on the south bank of the Rapidan. They were attacked by a large force of rebel cavalry and artillery under Stuart. A brisk fight ensued, lasting an hour, when our cavalry fell back upon their infantry supports, near James City. Here another fight took place, in which the Union forces were worsted and compelled to retreat. The rebels captured 100 of the 120th New York re giment. The Federal cavalry then charged on the rebels, retaking nearly all the prisoners. Rebel reinforcements coming up, our forces were pushed back to Culpepper. Later intelligence ear our forces have eva cuated Culpepper. Such s tores as could not be It is reported th a t th e removed, were burned . whole rebel army is ove r the Rapidan, and th at General Meade has fallen back to the north bank of the Rappahannock. It is said that L ongs t reet ' s corps has returned f ro m the Southwi c k.

It i s a sserted that alarge cavalry force h as b een sent to dislodge them from the mountains, and that Genera l Meade is amply prepared for any attack. Extravagant rumours are afloat in Washington of reverses to Meade, but no apprehension is felt in military circles. Latest advices from New Orleans confirm the reports of the fight at Morganza, or Morgan's Bend. It appears that General Dana advanced inland some nine miles from the Bend when he came upon a large force of the rebels. The fight which ensued resulted in the defeat of the Federal forces, with a loss variously estimated at from 400 to 1,000 killed, wounded, and missing. The advance of General Franklin's Texas expe dition reached Franklin, La., on the Ist of October, and it was supposed that the main body would con centrate there before moving further. The Con federate forces are retreating intact before Franklin. The New Orleans correspondent of the New York World writes as follows of the situation in that department : "From Ship Island in the Gulf to the bead waters of the Missouri; along the Ohio, the Red, White, and Arkansas rivers, th e Fe deral armies are scattered, guarding unim portant points and making brilliant raids,' which are of no military consequence, pur suing the enemy through the wilds of Arkansas, the swamps of Western Louisiana, or the fastnesses of the Cumberland mountains. And what is the result ? The enemy retires , co ncentrates, and fall s back upon the isolated a rmies with crushing e ff ect, just when and where ITHE NATIO:VAL PORTRAIT GALLERY mill be closed for repai rs and alterations during themouth of No vember.

SPORTING .NOTES, The Newmarket Houghton Meeting, which finishes the racing on the Heath for the present year, commences to day. The a ll - important event to be decided is the Cam bridgeshire. Several of the horses engaged have been very steady in the market during the last few days, more espe cially Limosina, Catch'em Alive, and Carnival, while others have fluctuated considerably. A great number of horses having appeared in the quotations at various times, no doubt there will be a very largo field. Prior, however, to considering it at full length, I would fain revert to the ungenerous and unjust remarks which have been made against the owner of Lioness and his respectable trainer, in reference to the Cesarewitch. If there is one single stable that commands more than another the confidence of the racing world, it is that of Mr. Merry, w h o runs his h orses in the good old-fashioned style practised by Lord D er b y, Lord Glasgow, Lord Portsmouth, and General Peel. Rarely, if ever, are complaints made about his being fore stalled in the market, nor is a jockey with a doubtful re. putation ever permitted to ride his horses. Of their train ing it is needless to say one word, for the Calendar at th e close of every season is the finest advertisement that Mr. Dawson can require. To accuse him and his employer of having pulled the strings, and run the mare when unfit, to blind the handicapper, is unfair in the extreme ; because it was notorious in the district in which she was prepared that she had been lame "all round" in the early part of the season, and, moreover, had been fired, the marks of which will never be obliterated. It was, therefore, a question whether she might not have broken down in the races in which she ran at Reading and York. So that, if by superior treatment, Mat Dawson was enabled to get her right, the circumstance was the more creditable to him, and takes off any blame that might be attached to the handi capper, who ought not to be mortified at the success of any animal. The field for the Cambrilgeshire will bo selected from tho following : Yrs st lb Carnival ........ 3 8 8 .... Challoner Cariebrook .4 8 1 .... Boyce Exchequer ...... 4 7 12 J.

Brewty Bing Charming 3 a Prior F ron Grand Dame 3 6 0 .... Carroll Mutzzin 3 5 12 Morris Merry Hart Murfet Summerside Carnival, after his defeat of Clarissimus, has been backed for large sums, as little as 11 and 10 to 1 being taken about him. There can be no queFtion that he is one of the be,t, not the best, horse of his year. Bat it would be too much to expect him to win with such a steadying weight as Bst Sib, although Saunterer ran third to Odd Trick with Bst 121 b. Carisbrook, if in anything like the form he showed last year at Ascot, when he won the Prince of Wales Stakes and the Fourth Biennial Stakes, ought to run well, as the hill will just suit him. Gemma came with a rush into the market last week, which caused Limosina to de cline a point or two, but the demonstration was short lived, as ho has again been sent to the outside division. Ex chequer is very leniently treated, and ought not to disgrace himself. Bathilde won her trial on Saturday by ten lengths, but she has become a worse favourite ever since. She meets Limosina at a difference of 7lbs fr6m what they carried last year, which should bring them close together. Bellman, Birdhill, Blue Mantle, and Tom Fool may help to swell the field, hut that will be all, unless it be Blue Mantle, who has a fine turn of speed, but is very uncer tain to trust. Limosina last year ran second for this race. She was backed for heaps of money for the Cesarewitch, but suffered defeat by Lioness. The running of the latter since at Kelso adds considerably to her pretensions for this race, and Lord Stamford has every prospect of landing the good thing that he has been so patiently waiting for. Jack of Hearts is held safe by Limosina. Tolurno lacks quality for a race of this description, and Borealis is too small, although she is well in. Blondin has a fair chance from the very forward position he held in the Cesarewitch up to the bu.he s . Catch'em-Alive has been supported for more genuine money than any other horse ; and as William Day seld(,m makes a mistake in a large handicap, I would strongly ad vise an investment to be made on him. The only others that the m mer f ay trouble the judge are D espa i r and Sumtnerside, forrom his light weight, and the latter from tlie forward he maint a i ne d in the Cesarewitch for the last mile and a half Having stated my opinion of the different horses likely to take part in the race, I shall now attempt to forestall the Judge's decision by placing CATCH'EbI.ALIVE LIMOSINA 2 SUMMEUSIDE 3 The other events to be decided are of no importance.
