The inquiries in discount circles continue active, and as the available supplies at the command of the bankers and bill brokers are by no means excessive, full rates are generally required for accommodation. Some slight reduction upon the minimum of 4 per cent, is nevertheless conceded, and this enables them to attract a large amount of business, that would otherwise be taken to the Bank of England. With regard to the prospects of the market, they are still consieered favourable, though no material Change can be expected till after the payment of the October dividends. By that time, too, a portion at least of the. money sent into the country for agricultural purposes will have returned, and the stock of bullion, moreover, Rill have received a further important addition, Providing, as anticipated, the specie movement continue as at present. _ It is stated in the advices by the /keit: that the New York money market on the 3d inst Was in a stringent state, and affairs generally at the stock markets and elsewhere appear to hare been very unsettled.

At Manchester a fair amount of busi ness was done in cloths and yarns, chiefly for the In dian markets. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, was exceedingly active, while in the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham a steady business was transacted. In the hardware districts of Birming ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there were moderate transactions. The amount of specie brought by the steamer La P lata, announced this morning, is £271,341. Two o'CLocix. To.a ay , according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Renter were 69f. Business in the discount market continues active at previous rates. It has been agreed to-day at a meeting of the S hareholders in the Union Bank of England and France that the amalgamated establishment shall be called " The European Bank." It is scarcely possible to conceive a much quieter Market than that for the English Stocks at the pre sent moment. Foreign Bonds were sought after as a medium of speculation and investment, but the Funds, from some cause or other are, and have been for a considerable period, almost entirely ne glected. To their elevated range of prices, and the limited margin there now is for sufficient fluctua tion to render time operations attractive, must, no doubt, be attributed to the prevailing inactivity of Consols, which, however, here continue firm, not withstanding the paucity of business, at 931 for transfer, and 93 , ?,- for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced are 92 g ; Exchequer Bills, par to 3s. prem. India 5 per Cents. have been marked 1082 H. Business in the Foreign Market is less active, but prices are generally firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 70; do., 1862, 711 ; do., Consolides have receded to 534 ; but the Confederate Loan has risen 3 per cent., to 28 to 26 die.; Greek to 371 3 8; do., Coupons to 18 1 ; Mexican. to 431 Spanish Passive to 391 ; the Certificates, to 1341; and the International Passive are 291 to 301. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather dull, but prices have shown more firmness. Great Western, Brighton, and North Eastern (Berwick), have improved 55.; and South Western, 10s.; while Edinburgh and Glasgow have declined V.; and North Western 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without any material change to record in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some in• stances rather firmer.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE FISHER. This bankrupt, Rebecca Fisher (otherwise Hicks), de scribed as of Devonshire-place, Edgeware-road, spinster, applied for release from custody. Mr. Lucan supported her application, and Mr. Presto - a opposed on behalf of Messrs. Ingledew, upholsterers of Bishopsgate-street, on the ground ;that the bankrupt had fraudulently contracted the debt for which she had been sued The bankrupt, in examination, said her name was Fisher. the and she was a single woman , b ut she had passed by name of Hicks . I was eng a g ed to him, but he died. She denied ever representing herself as a widow, and that she was entitled to £4OO a year, but the affairs were in Chancery. She had goods of Ingledew to the amount of £l5O, but had paid off £llO. The property had since been sued for a year's rent, but they did not fetch £6O, and the rent due was £65. By Mr. Lucas—lngledew knew I wag not married. It is four and a half or five years since I had the goods. Mr. Ingledew, cross•examined, said Mr. Hicks intro duced bankrupt as his wife—he purchased goods and paid for them—she afterwards went by herself and said Mr. Hicks was dead and she was his widow, but that his affairs were in Chancery ; she afterwards raid that the affairs had l t i h fe a , t and t o r n an th sa a c t t r io e n pr d e i s d en n ta o t t io t n ak h e e p l l e a t c h e e l‘ r i h th av t e he th w e i been settled, and that she was entitled to £4OO a-year for witness goods at , The Bankrupt said she never made any such statement all, but with his brother. Mr. Lucas submitted that there was no pretext for say ing there had been any fraudulent misrepresentation. Hicks introduced the bankrupt as his wife, and as to the rest, Mr, Ingledew appeared to speak from hearsay. At all events, thetra.nsac don took place nearly five yeirs ago, and;the bankrupt had paid, off £llO. _ _ . His Honour said is was not a case for refusal of release, and the bankrupt was accordingly released. IN RE MATCHETT. 'lbis bankrupt was described as a lodger at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Enfield, formerly contractor, and now out of business. He had been arrested at the suit of Benjamin Butler Caunt (executor of Benjamin Caunt), who had ob tained judgment against him whilst he was in Portugal. There being no opposition the order for release was granted. little is doing. Picking is now making considerable pro press, but the crop varies considerably. From America we learn that the crop will not equal last year's, but there will in all probability be a supply of good and fine hops suffi cient to meet the export demand. The import into London last week was 9 bales from Ostend, 16 from Rotterdam, and 46 frem Hamburg. New Mid and East Rents loos to 140 s per cwt. Weald of Rents Sussex TALLOW.

In the country markets, held on Saturday, the demand for wheat was much less active, and, in some instances, prices declined is per quarter. Barley. however , ruled firm , and the value of oats, beans, and peas was well supported. Flour moved off slowly, at late rates. On the Continent rather more business is passing in wheat and spring corn at very full prices. At New York the trade continues dull with a limited export inquiry. There was a fair arrival of English grain up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 15,233 quarters of wheat, 10 bar ley, 33,653 oats, 805 beans, 5 peas, 2,585 linseed, 1,510 oil seeds, 165 sundry seeds, 1,415 sacks and 4,611 barrels of flour. Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, but the quality of the produce was good. Owing to more favourable accounts from the north of England and from Scotland respecting the in gathering of the .crops, there was much less activity in the demand for all qualities, and, in order to effect sales, fac tors were compelled to submit to a reduction of ls. per quarter from Monday last. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, yet no material change took place in prices, compared with this day se'nnight. The tendency, however, was decidedly in favour of buyers. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, on rather easier terms. The supply of new English barley was very moderate, Fine malting parcels were scarce, and such were quickly disposed of at full prices. Inferior qualities, including grinding and distilling sorts, were in fair average request, at full quotations. The show of foreign produce was small A steady business was transacted in malt, at ,quite pre vious rates. The supply of oats was tolerably large. Good and fine corn ruled firm, at full quotations; but inferior qualities were a dull inquiry, on rather easier terms. Beans were in short supply and steady request, at full currencies. . . . Peas fully supported last Monday's currency, with a fair domand. Blue qualities, however, sold heavily at reduced rates. Both English and foreign flour moved off slowly, Set prices were supported.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on sale here to-day, and there were several Spanish and Ton ning beasts on offer of very good quality. The trade ruled firm at quite last Monday's currency. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were but moderate as to number, and they were certainly deficient as to quality. For all breeds there was a steady demand, and last Monday's prices were well supported. Prime short-horns, indeed, changed hands more freely than on this day se'nnight. The top quotation for beef was Si per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,500 s hort-horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 12 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 340 oxen and heifers. There was a slight increase in the number of sheep in the pens, but the general quality of the stock was inferior. The trade for all breeds was in a healthy state, and the late improvement in the currency was well supported. Prime downs and half-breds sold readily at 5s 4d per 81bs. The supply of calves was moderately good. Generally speaking, the demand ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday last, the top quota tion being 4s 8d per albs. Pigs moved off somewhat firm. RE THOS. WILCOX. This bankrupt was described as of Paekington street, Islington, builder, and applied for his release.

MARLBOROUGH -STREET. HOUSEBBEAKING.—WiIIiam Syme, a young man living at 8, Cambridge-street, Golden-square, and described as a boot-closer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with break ing and entering the house of Messrs. Oetzmann and Plumb, piano-forte m anufacturers, 38, Broad-street, Golden square, and stealing several articles belonging to different persons. Ed ward Harlock, 5, Benham's-place, Hampstead, porter, in the employ of Messrs. Oetzmann and Plumb, pianoforte manufacturers, 38, Broad-street, said—On Saturday night week a carpet -bag belonging to Mr. Oetzmann was on the premises. I left lastthe ppreermsoinsessoinn theeo p mp r a en ny iies. with twoi went others,on and we werethe Sunday night to take something out of the bag and found it was gone. The next morning, hearing trom one of the workmen that he had lost some property, I suspected a bad character was can the premises, but last Friday found the premises had been broken into at the top of a flight of stairs. vivid Reid, in the employ of Messrs. Oetzmann and Plumb, identified some books produced as his property. They were safe on the premises on Saturday evening, and gone on the following Monday morning. Mrs. Ann Syme, wife of the prisoner's brother, said— The prisoner brought one of the articles produced to our place. I have seen but little of the prisoner for the past three months. He merely left the bag to be taken care of. Inspector Bowles, of the C division, said—l went to Messrs. Oetzmann and Plumb's workshop on hearing of the second robbery, and found several boxes had been broken open apparently with a chisel. On going to the place where the prisoner was employed, and the prisoner being called out by his employer (Mr. John Kempson) the prisoner, without my saying a word said, I never did such a thing before, and will never do so Again." I then took the pri soner to the station, when he said that some of the things he had taken to a brother's, in Lamb's Conduit-street, and on going there I saw prisoner's brother, who gave me the bag produced and contents. At the station prisoner said, "It's my first offence, and I got into the house by means of a ladder in the yard." The prisoner had been duly cautioned before he said this. Ile also said that being a great reader and seeing the books in the window had induced him to com mit the robbery. I found on the prisoner several keys, one of them fitting the bag. I also received from the prisoner's master several articles belonging to different persons. On viewing the premises I found that an entry had been gained by the window. Some of the articles produced having been identified by other persons, the prisoner, Who made no defence, wa B com mitted for three months. THAMES. UNLAWFUL POSSESSION 01' MILITARY STORES. — Michael Pugh, who carries on the business of a grocer and general dealer in Well-street, near the Sailors' Home, and Bridget Pugh, his wife, were brought before Mr. WOOl - charged with being in possession of military stores, which had been stolen from the Tower of London and other places. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence of police-sergeant Town send, No. 5 11, who has charge of the Metropolitan police stationed in the Tower, that he procured a search warrant and searched the prisoner's house, No. 1, Well-street, where he discovered, on a bed on the first floor, two grey blankets and one white blanket ; in another room a white blanket, two bed covers and a sheet, in the pare lour, under the table, a white blanket, and in the kitchen a bed-cover. The female prisoner said that her first husband, who had been in the army 17 years, and who accidentally shot himself in Canada, gave her the pair of blankets when he returned from the Crimean war ; that she bought the sheet at a shop in Petticoat-lane, and that the white blanket found under the parlour table was given to her by a Mrs. Clarke, whose husband was in the 3d Buffs. She also stated that the bed covers were given to her by the quartermaster of the 19th Regiment, when it was stationed at Portsmouth soma time ago. There were also two straps and a scrubbing brush in the kitchen, which he also seized. The straps were used by soldiers to fasten up their beds and bedding. Maria Holland, a young woman now dwelling at No. 8, Hardy-place, Weficlose-square, formerly lived in the house of the prisoners, and had seen the blankets, the sheet, the table-covers, and other things in use. She believed Mrs. Pugh was married to her present husband last Easter. In cross-examination by Mr. Stoddart, the witness said differences had arisen between her parents and the prisoners, the arrow of and that sh e g i ve i n f or mation to the au th orities that Mr. and Mrs. Pu g h were i n possession of m ilit a r y stores. Mr. James Pi n k an d Mr. Joseph Plow, w ho are em ployed in the Tower of London, s aid the thin gs seized and were the initialsGovernmentlir p i ; o p o e v r t a y r , B m o a p r a k r e t dm :or B oo broad (Board with Ordnance). One blanket had been tampered with and an attempt made to "smudge" out the Government marks. A patch had been inserted. It was the practice when condemned blankets and sheets were sold to tear such blanket or sheet in four pieces. They were not sold whole. Grey blankets were distributed for the use of soldiers on active service. When done with they ought to be returned to the public stores. Other evidence was given, from which it appeared that while the female prisoner was in the Tower in her first Mr. il e husband' s life-tinse, sheets, blankets, and other things were missing. c s now articles now e female a to le p mi r l i i s t e a a r e y r's first husba nd had blankets possession of th em i n n li di rect i ons. A hundredth part of the blankets intended for the army in the Cr imea never e reached their d est i nation, and thousands o f them were sold m people had whole after th e C rimean War. The peopl e f rom the Tower said the blankets, s heets, and bed cov ers now produced had been Crimean wa r , an d that no blankets had bee a n de so s ld ince whole the since 1860. Th e witnesses valued the things produce d a t 13s. The female prisoner, an Irishwo man , a ddressed the ma gistrate at con s id erable length, and said this was a spiteful proceeding, and that i n f ormation was given by th e woman Holland I )..cause the parents of the witness were distrained uP"_ tor rent due to Mr. Pugh, who was quite innocent. ASto tho straps, her children used them as skipping ropes. Mr. Woolrych said the law prohibited anyone being in possession of Government stores, and he could not help thinking the female prisoner knew the property now in court had been illegally come by. lie discharged the male prisoner, but convicted his wife, and fined her £4, and 395., being treble the value of the articles. The penalty Was paid. THE BOMBAY AIAIL.—ALEXANDRIA, Sept. it The Valetta left here with the Marseilles p or ti on of the above mail at noon this day.

PANIZZL (From the Athenceum.) Having ourselves repeatedly been subjected to the same inconvenience complained of by our contemporary, we would very earnestly commend the following statement to the con sideration of the Librarian at the British Museum : "We have had occasion to make use of the Reading room of the British Museum for many years, with never failing reason to acknowledge the courtesy and attention of the officials of all grades employed there. Of late, how ever, it has been our lot to find that the ordinary period within which a student can obtain a book from the Library is never less than half-an-hour, and on more than one oc casion a whole hour hag elapsed before some carefully-in dicated volume reached us, impatient and eager to save time. It was understood, when the new Reading•room was oper,ed, that the time of supplying students with their ma terials would be greatly shortened compared with that which was customary on the old system. With regret we fine that the reverse is the rule. Worn out of patience, we, one day, while waiting for a volume, paced round the readers' desks to ascertain if their crowded state could account for the delay in our receipt of books. The radiat ing desks can accommodate about three hundred readers : at them were seated exactly one hundred and forty-seven persons, or less than half the number that might have taxed the arrangements of the establishment. This was within an hour of closing the Reading-room, and when many readers would abstain from demanding books that could not be used on the current day. At any rate, the place was nut half full ; yet an hour and ten minutes elapsed ere we got the book in demand. Few students can afford to wait even half this time. Surely Mr. Panizzi can do something to render long delays the exception, and not the rule. Sir R. Mayne and the Modern Gomorrah, The number of crimes committed in the year 1861 was—in the City, 1,029 ; in the metropolitan dis trict, 11,203. The area of the City is little more than one square mile; the population, 111,784 per sons; and the number of houses inhabited and un inhabited, 1,479. The area of the metropolitan district is 571 square miles ; the population, 3,110,684 persons ; the number of houses in habited and uninhabited, 461,848. The propor tion of crimes to population is—in the City, 1 crime to 108 persons; in the metropolitan district, 1 crime to 277 persons. In this relation, crimes in the City are upwards of 156 per cent. higher than in the metropolitan district. The propor tion of crimes to inhabited houses is—in the City, 1 rrims to 12 houses ; in the metropolitan district, 1 crime to 37 houses. In this relation, crimes in the City are upwards of 208 per cent. higher than in the metropo itan district. Let Cornhill and Cheapside Fonder over these state ments. The City is proved to be a sink of ini quity ; it is inhabited by a population of rogues and vagabonds. Now we know where the tickets of-leave hide themselves ; now we know where the dangerous classes have permanent settlement; it is in the quadrangle of the Royal Exchange, the rotunda of the Bank, and the purlieus of Mark-lane, Mincing-lane, and St. Paul's-church yard we must look for men of Bill Sykes's stamp— that is, if we really wish to make their acquaint ance. Nothing less than a second Great Fire would suffice to cleanse the second Gomorrah, and it must not only consume the houses, but the people, for they are lost in iniquity, and the city of London is, par excellence, the criminal City. We only need to have Sir Richard Mayne's police on duty in our streets, and this moral plague-spot will become a paradise.— City Press. THE TYNE REGATTA. DISPUTED RACE FOR THE CHAMPION CUP. The contest which took place for the Champion Cup on the 28th ult. at the above regatta, between Cooper, Kelley, and Chambers, and which was un decided owing to a dispute about fouling, was on Saturday run over again by Kelley and Chambers, Cooper declining to take any part in the struggle. After a closely-contested race, Chambers was de clared the winner. Kelley claimed a foul, which was not allowed.

Whatever the re gistrar's book or Vapereau's " Dictionnaire des Contera. porains" may say to the contrary, they remain settled on the bright side of thirty. Take Jules Janin as an exampl e . We could easily fix the date o f his first feuilleton in the Journal des Debats—but look at the preface of the " Contes du Chalet," and say whether it is not the production of a very young man, full of enthusiasm for everythin g that is noble and beautifu l, brimming over with imagination and fancy. The clailet which 31. Jules Janin celebrates in this preface is the ne w residence erected for him at Passy—a uheitet in the stricte st sense of the word, small, neat, pic turesque, full of treasures of every kind, h av i ng a minim, ture park and water works.

THE BOMB, HARLES T ON. PHILADELPHIA, August 30. The following is the communication from Beau regard to G enera l Gilmore, protesting against the opening of the bombardment of Charleston -- " Head-quarters, Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. " Charleston S.C., August 22. Sir,—Last n i g ht at 15 mint;teslf ofll o'clock, during my absence on a reconnaissance"my t forti fications,h a communication was re ce i ved at these head-quarters, dated Head - quarters, Depa r t meno the South, Morris Island, S.E., Aug. 21, demanding the immediate evacuation of Morris Island and Fort Sumter by the Confederate forces, on the alleged ground that the present condition of Fort Sumter, and the rapid progressive destruction which it is undergoing from my batteries, seem to render its complete demolition within a few hours a matter of certainty,' and that if this letter was not com plied with, or no reply thereto was received within four hours after it was delivered into the hands of my subordinate commander at Fort Wagner for transmission, a fire would be opened on the city of Charleston from the batteries already established within easy range of the heart of the city. This communication to my address was without signa ture, and was of course returned. About half-past one o'clock one of your batteries did actually open fire and threw a number of heavy shells into the city, the inhabitants of which of course were asleep and unwarned. About nine o'clock this morning the communication alluded to was returned to these headquarters, bearing your recognised official sig nature, and it can now be noticed as your deliberate official act. " Among nations net barbarous the usages of war prescribe that when a city is about to ba attacked timely notice shall be given by the attacking com mander, so that non-combatants shall have an opportunity of withdrawing beyond its limits. Generally the time allowed is from one to three days, that is, time for the withdrawal in good faith of at least the women and children. You, sir, gave only four hours, knowing that your notice, under exist ing circumstances, could not reach me in less than two hours, and not less than the same time would be required for an answer to be conveyed from this city to Battery Wagner. With this knowledge you threaten to open fire on this city, not to oblige its surrender, but to force me to evacuate those works which you, assisted by a great naval force, have been attacking in vain for more than 40 days. " Batteries Wagner and Gregg and Fort Sumter are nearly due north from your batteries on Morris Island, and in distance therefrom varying from half a mile to two and a quarter miles. This city, on the other hand, is to the north west, and quite five miles distant from the battery which opened against it this morning. It would appear, sir, that des pairing of reducing these works, you now resort to the novel measure of turning your guns against the old men, the women, and children, and the hospi tals of a sleeping city—an act of inexcusable barba rity from your own confessed point of sight, inas much as you allege that the complete demolition of Fort Sumter within a few hours by your guns seems to you a matter of certainty. " Your omission to attach your signature to such a grave paper must show the recklessness of the course upon which you have adventured; when the facts that you knowingly fixed a limit for re ceiving an answer to your demand which made it almost beyond the possibility of receiving any reply within that time, and that you actually did open fire, and throw a number of the most de structive missiles ever used in war into the midst of a city taken unawares, and filled with sleeping women and children, will give you a bad eminence in history, even in the history of this war. lam only surprised, sir, at the limits you have set to your demands. If, in order to obtain the aban donment of Morris Island and Fort Sumter, you feel authorised to fire on this city, why did you not include the works on Sullivan and James Islands—nay, even the city of Charleston—in the same demand ? _ . " Since you have felt warranted in inaugurating this method of reducing batteries in your imme diate front which were otherwise found impreg nable, and a mode of warfare which I confidently declare to be atrocious and unworthy of any sal- dier, I now solemnly warn you that if you fire again on this city from your Morris Island bat teries without giving a somewhat more reasonable time to remove the non-combatants, I shall feel impelled to employ such stringent means of retalia tion as may be available during the continuance of this attack. " Finally, I reply that neither the works on Mor ris Island nor Fort Sumter will be evacuated on the demand you have been pleased to make. Already, however, I am taking measures to re move all non-combatants, who are now fully aware and alive to what they may expect at your hands. —Respectfully, your obedient servant, " G. T. BEAUREGARD, General Commanding." A NOBLE IRISH LANDLORD. On Thursday last, in the hamlet of Sneem, county Kerry (says a weekly contemporary), on the north side of the mouth of Kenmare Bay, amid scenery of surpassing grandeur, the Earl of Dunraven laid the foundation-stone of a new Catholic church, the site of which was presented, rent free, to the parishioners, by the liberal Protestant landlord, Mr. Bland. Lord Danraven purchased the site for a fishing lodge there, some few years since, and the following incidents in his lordship's address, on the occasion of the ceremony last week, aro highly cre ditable both to himself, as a pious and devoted Catholic, and also to the liberal Protestant land lord. The Cork Examiner reports his lordship to have said:— " I well remember the day when I first came here :o Mass. Immediately that I saw the place in which he Holy Sacrifice was performed, I said to myself, ' How strange it is that I should go build for my , self a residence, and surround myself with every comfort and ornament which it is in the power of a gentleman to procure, while the church of the parish—the house in which the mysteries of God's Church are celebrated—is left desolate and in ruin.' From that moment I determined, if it pleased God to spare me my life, that I would contribute, as far as lay in my power, to the building of an edifice in which the people of the parish would be able to worship God without being e xposed to the incle mency of the weather, and in which the Holy Sacri fice could properly and with due solemnity be per formed. I have been able to do that. I have seen inaugurated to-day, and I assure the work happily you that it affords me the most sincere gratification. Amongst the many things which I have to rejoice at to-day, there is one which gives me the most pro found satisfaction, and I shall not lose this oppor tunity of mentioning it. I mean the noble conduct of ycur landlord, Mr. Bland, in giving us the ground for the church. When I asked him if he would give a lease for ever of the old site, as we were going to build a new church, his reply was—'Certainly, I will.' I then said—' Will you give us some more of the ground surrounding the building, as we wish to plant it and make it ornamental ? ' He again readily responded that he would, and said, ' Come down and point out what you want. This is a mat ter which I will leave entirely to yourself.' I came down with him ; we went over the place, and then be went away leaving me to mark out as much land as I might consider necessary. ' I leave you,' he said, 'to fix the boundaries yourself; take as much as ever you want.' When next I met him I asked him about the rent—what rent he would require. What ? ' said he, do you suppose that I am going to take a rent for this land ? No ; whatever ex tent you w ant, it must be a free gift from me to the parish.' I only wish every landlord in Ireland would take an example of liberality from Mr. Bland. I can assure you that, poor as this parish is, there ate many parishes in. Ireland which would be glad to exchange landlords, for it is not everywhere you meet with the like of him. I have known Mr. Bland for many years, and I am happy to say that my relations with him have always been those of the warmest friendship; and so they will always be, because I believe him to that which it is by no means a common thing to meet with in these days —a just, honourable, and liberal-hearted man." 'ES. THE DONCASTER. MEETING. The weights for the Autumn Handicaps:being now pub. 'lobed, the events to be decided this week will be looked forward to with more than ordinary interest, as the equi. vocal performers this year have now nothing to fear. The Champagne Stakes generally produces a favourite for the Derby, but I think it will result in a match between Linda and Fille de l'Air, giving the preference to the former. The Great Yorkshire Handicap has a very poor accept ance. Still enough remain to make a good race, and as the distance is within the scope of all of them, a fair field may be expected. The field will include Hartington, Lady Ripen, Welcome, Chan - 2,T, Blithfield, Jack of Hearts, Silk atone, Earl of Surrey, Hubert, Doctor Syntax, Blondin, Cachuca, Schoolmistress, Kangaroo, Barter, and The Serf. The three m oat f avoura b ly we i ghted are Schoolm i stress, Doctor Syntax, and Barter; giving the preference to them in the order named. The Filly Stakes should be won by Syren, and the Glee. gow e S d t n a e k s e d s a by Midnight is th es r.Lg e Mass. erdy. a The field for the great event will likely compo se most of th e following— Horses. Riders. Avenger ................ A. Edwards. Blondin Blue Mantle Borealis Bright Cloud or Cheerful Clarior Curie Dr. Syntax Donnybrook Erin go Bragh H Gladstone Golden Pledge .. Fordham. Light Bob Doyle. Lord Clifden Osborne. National Guard Prince Lee 800 Onesander Loates. Queen Bertha Ranger &amender Custance. Tademus Avenger and Onesander will represent Lord Stamford's interest, but from the amount of money invested in the former, it would seem that the latter will run to serve his stable companion, but it would not surprise me to see " Noseander," as he is generally termed, turn out the best of his lordship's pair, as was the case with Diophantus two years ago in the Two Thousand Guineas, when Imaus was defeated by his stable companion in a common canter. Avenger won the Prince of Wales's Stakes easily, but there was nothing great behind him, as Blue Mantle was out of all form. He will carry as much money as any other horse in the race, and no liberties ought to be taken with him. The Ranger is gradually retiring to the outside division, and I think that is just the place he will obtain in the raco, though I believe he will try and get a "situation" amongst the first three. Queen Bertha (whom I selected to win the Oaks when at 50 to 1) has been the most steady horse in the betting ; but, no doubt this arises from her being in John Scott's stable, who has won more Legere than any other trainer. How ever, her ladyship is entitled to the greatest respect on her own merits; but, as mares are very uncertain at this season. of the year, I do not think she will carry her colours suc cessfully past the post in the great tussle. Lord Clifden has been knocked about more than any other horse in the race —one day being at 20's, the next at 10's, then at 6's, back again to 20's and 30's, down again to 6's, where he now remains, with a still further downward tendency. That his performances warrants such knocking about is a thing, as Lord Dundreary would say, " Tha-tha-that no knell can understand." He was by far the best two-year-old of his year, and only lost the Derby by a very short head, His running in France I entirely throw aside, as ho was suffering severely from the roughness of the passage across the channel, No horse could be in finer condition at present, and those who have been taking liberties with him will perhaps get as great a blow as they did in 1560 with St. Albans. Golden Pledge, since his success in the Ebor Handicap, has been entrusted with heaps of money, and ought to run respectably. Donnybrook I have no fancy for, but National Guard, who won his Stockton en gagements, ought to run well, and may pruve an awkward customer to the favourites. Blue Mantle is doing excellent work at present, and from the forward position he obtained in the Derby, my only doubt is whether to give the prefer ence to him or Lord Ciifden. Borealis is a beautiful little mare, and her owner has backed her for a situation. Light Bob and Clarior will represent Lord Glasgow, but with no chance of success. Serf will run for Mr. Jackson's book, and Blondin for Mr. Parr, but I am afraid he will not meet with the good fortune he had when he carried off this race in 1355 with Saucebox, who was at 50 to 1 at starting. 'Tambour Major, it is reported, will be amongst the starters; and if he runs as well as he did in the Derby, when he had such an artistic jockey as Wells on his back, there will not be much danger to be feared from him. It will be seen, from the above, that I expect the judge will place LORD CLIFDEN (with his head loose) 1 BLUE MANTLE 2 AVENGER The Doncaster Cup will be won by MA.CCARONI.
