firONEY MARKET AND COMMERCT AT4 INTELLIGENCE. UITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. An active business is still experienced in discount circles, and the inquiries at the Bank itself are also rather numerous. The market, it is thought, will continue animated until the payment of the divi dends P.:411y next month, Several millions sterling 1 "..1 then be released, but in the meantime an effect is likely to be produced by revenue collections and the contracted circulation resultihg from the rapid accumulation of the Treasury balances. From the manufacturing districts the accounts during the past week mention that business in most departments has continued dull. At Manchester cloths and yarns were rather lower, while in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field the operations have been principally in light fabrics for immediate requirements. A better de mand has been experienced for hosiery and lace goods at Leicester and Nottingham, while in the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield , and Wolverhampton there has been little change importance to report.

THE GRAND CONSERVATIVE BANQUET.—We understand Mr. Disraeli has accepted the invitation of the executive committee, and will be present at the anni- 5 versary festive:, of the National Conservative Registratio n Association, to take place at Willis's Rooms, on Friday, the 26th 'toot., the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, C.B. in ill°. drair. r ilie Breslau Gazette relates the following : ".The Grand Duke Constanti ne every day receives t.ll the foreign journals in one packet, and he is most parti cular in opening it himself in order that no important piece of news shall be kept from him. One day, lately, there was found in the packet that day's number of the Ruch, the joisrnal of the National Government of Warsaw. How could the paper have got into the well-sealed packet coming from abroad ? That no one has yet been able to discover. It this should continue,' the Grand Duke is said to have ex claimed, we shall be beaten even if we had ten armies. All our troops will be of no avail so long as we shall not have discovered this National Government !'

II proposed the appointment of a committee .to delibe 6 - rate what steps should be taken under these cir cumstances. City-Delegate Streckfnss moved that the Assembly should abide by its previous decision, and should proceed independently without the concurrence of the Magatrat, which (as you have already been informers) resolved to abstain from moving further in the matter of an address to the Throne. Let the Assembly assure itself that it had not outstripped its powers by that decision, and, once certain of that, let it steadily uphold its resolu tion. It was possible that this might have serious e )nsequences, but the Assembly must be prepared to endure them. A committee was then appointed to report in eight days, during which time the matter will remain in abeyance.

MARKETS---This Day. MARK LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were very-mode rately supplied with wheat, yet the demand was in a sluggish state, and in some instances holders were compelled to accept less money in order to effect sales. The inquiry for spring corn was by no means active, yet prices were supported. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at low rates. ' ' On the Continent, the trade for wheat and spring corn rules quiet, on former terms. Our American advices report a fair export demand both for wheat and flour, at slightly enhanced rates, Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 12,340 quarters of wheat ; 3,536 barley ; 31,518 oats ; 5,185 beans ; 200 tares ; 17,369 linseed , 18,478 oil seeds ; 610 maize ; 270 sundry seeds ; 1,951 sacks, and 26,555 barrels of flour. Fresh up to Mark Lane, this morning, a limited supply of English wheat was received, in fair condition. Selected parcels both of red and white produce were in moderate demand, at quite last Monday's currency. In the value of inferior parcels, no alteration took place, but the demand ruled tar from active, and a total clearance way not effected. There were some French buyers in the market, and a few parcels were taken for export to France, but the prices offered were for the most part too low to admit of any of any transaction of importance. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat, and the show of good and fine Dantzic produce was toleraVy extensive. Holders of American produce were firm, owing to inquiries by Frenoh buyers ; but other descriptions met a slow sale. Last Monday's quotations, however, were fully supported. The transactions either for home use or for export to France were on a very m derato scale. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, neverthe less prices ruled firm. The supply of English barley was small, of foreign qua lities but moderate. Both grinding and distilling qualities were in fair average request at full quotations. Malting parcels commanded very little attention. There was rather less activity in the malt trade, yet prices were supported. The supply of oats was chiefly confined to foreign quail- ties, but the show of samples was large. All qualities were in slow request, and in some instances the quotations ruled in favour of buyers. The show of English b ens was small, but there was a fair supply of foreign qualities on the stands. Tick and pigeon qualities were firm in price. Other qualities, how ever, moved off slowly, on former terms. With peas—both English and foreign—the market was scantily supplied, and the quotations were fully supported. In flour a fair average business was transacted, at last week's currency. The supply of barrels on offer was mode rately large.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was seasonably well supplied with foreign stock, in but middling condition. Sales progressed somewhat heavily, at barely last week's currency. Fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts was moderately extensive, and the general quality of the stock was good. Prime Scots and crosses sold steadily at prices about equal to Monday last. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, the quotations gave way 2d per 81bs. The top figura for beef was 5s per 81bs., and a total clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,600 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds; and from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses. We were again well supplied with sheep, both as to number and quality. Prime Downs and half-breds changed hands to a fair extent, at full currencies ; but all other breeds moved off slowly, and the currencies had a drooping tendency. The best Downs and a few prime half-breds realised 5s per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was good—sold heavily, at barely late rates, viz., from 5s 4d to 6s 8d per 81bs. About 100 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Calves met a slow Fide, at last week's prices. The pork trade was steady, at full quotations. Per Sib. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

Exhibited at Manchester in 1857-195 guineas (G. Parry,) 151. Lo Spagna—" The Crucifixion," with many figures.

The name given to this fine gallery picture in Cardinal Fesch's catalogue is here retained, but there are no works of this rare master re maining with which to compare it.

Leoaardi Da Vinci—" The Virgin and Child," the Virgin attired in a blue dress, kneeling, supports the infant Saviour, who stelas on a red cushion, and ho;ds a bird in his hand. Through the pillars of the building a distant Life trf landscape is seen. Dr. Waagen says :—" This picture, as cribed to Ghirlandttio, may, I am conv inced, be by Letneurt.do, previous to his going to Milan." M. Rio in his L Leonardo says—" II y a d'abord cello de Lord Northwick, dans laquelle ou n'hesite pas a reconnaitre un ouvrage de la premiere maniere de Leonardo , " p . 28.

Angelo, a stata poi levata via da chi the sia From Cardinal Fesch's collection. Exhibited at the British Institution in 1857-950 guineas (Martin). This was the last picture in this celebrated collection. The amount produced by the second day's sale was £8,742 10s—total of both days, £13,958 58. TiIHEE CeiLlniEN D ROWNED . — An occurre nce of a painful character took place at Stafford last night. Three children (two boys and one girl), the two former the sons of Mr. T. Taylor, afid the latter the child of a friend who had left her under the protection of Mr. and Mrs Taylor, had returned from school, and were playing near the river Sow, which runs close by Mr, Taylor's house, when, by some sad fatality, they all three fell ; , : f . o the stream, which had greatly overflowed it s b an ks in conse quence of the late rains, The shrieks of the poor little creatures immediately brought some of the neighbours to the scene of the catastrophe, but so rapid was the current that all their efforts to rescue them were unavailing. the grief of the bereaved parents was frantic, and the melan choly event caused the most painful excitement throughout the town, and drew hundreds of people to the spot, all of whom vied with each other in their endeavours to the discovery of the victims of this s a d occurrepce.-14ir . min,qharn Post. the in LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Mr. Commissioner Goulburn was the Commissioner of the day, but the cases were unimportant. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.) IN RE BROWNING. This bankrupt holds a patent office in one of the law courts, and had been in prison for 30 years, but obtained his release a short time since. This was a meeting for declaring a dividend, but the bankrupt has not )et filed his balance sheet. The debts are stated at upwards of £5,000, amongst them is one of £9OO to the executors of Earl St. Vincent. The assets in hand am , unt to about £2,300. Mr. Levy tendered a proof on some bills, dated 30 years back—the bills were not forthcoming, but the creditor pro duced his bill-book containing entries to support the proof. Mr. Lawrence, for the assignees, opposed, on the Statute of Limi•ations, and eventually the case wac adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FATAL TERMINATION OF A CHARGE.-011 Mr. Tyrwhitt taking his seat on the bench this morning Inspector Charles Bowles of the C division mentioned to him the particulars of the death of a person charged with drunken neks. Inspector Bowles said that on Saturday night a tailor named Charles Lewis, of 7, Hanover-place, Oxford-street, about thirty years of age, while in a state of intoxication was crossing New Bond-street with a friend when he fell against a cab and injured his rose. He was at once taken to St. George's Hospital, and the surgeon who attended to him gave the following certificate :7 " St. George's Hospital. " This is to certify that Chat les Lewis is a patient, and is suffering from a broken nose and Is intoxicated. FREDERicx W. lIAUDE, House Surgeon." Inspector Bowles said that the surgeon refused to admit the man as an in patient, and with the view of taking care of him he was taken to the Marlborough-mews station by the constable (Ewer, 1660) and charged with being drunk and incapable, but some time after was bailed by a friend and taken to his house, where about twelve yesterday he expired. Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that it was a melancholy end of the matter. ALLIGED WANTON CRUELTY TO A DOG.—Elijah Pain, a jobbing builder, 92, West •street, Soho, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. William Love, of the Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, charging him with havidg cruelly illtreated a dog. Mr. Love said the matter had been taken up by the society on behalf of the owner of the dog, as he regretted to say tne case, as reported to the society, appeared to be of a flagrant nature. Mr. Love then called Mr. Judah Lazarus, who (corroborated by his brother, Mr. Samuel Lazarus, a butcher, at 12, West street, Soho), deposed that on the 4th of June he was sitting in the front of his shop with the dog, an old and docile one and nearly blind, by his side, when the defendant passed with a piece of wood about three feet long in his hand. After the defendant had passed he returned aud struck the dog a violent blow across the head, causing it to fall over and lie screaming in the street, the blood gushing from its eyes, mouth, and nose. The dog was seriously injured, and for some days could not hold up its head. He had had the dog some years, and it had never attempted to bite any one, _ _ _ Francis, an officer of the Society, said he found the dog on the following day in a very bad state, and it could not hold up its head, but it was now quite well. Defendant pfotested his innocence of wilfully ill-treating the dog. On passing the dog he felt something grip him by the leg, and turned round hurriedly and stuck it with the piece of wood, and then for the first time became aware it was complainant's dog. He repudiated any intention of wantcnly ill-treating the dog. The magistrate said he was inclined to believe the de fendant's statement that the dog bit at his leg, He thought if the defendant had any cruel intention he would have struck the dog as he passed it, and not passed it and re turned to commit the act of cruelty. It was clear, how ever, that he used unnecessary violence to the animal, and for that he should flue the defendant ss. or seven days. The defendant was locked up in default. THAMES. A RUFFIAN AND THIEF.—John Tighe alias Toy, an Irish labourer, aged 30, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 31bs, of bacon from the shop of Mr. Wm. Hunt, No. 131, High-street, Poplar, and savagely assaulting George Palmer, the prosecutor's assistant. A few evenings since Mr. Palmer saw the prisoner take a piece of bacon from his master's window-board and en deavour to conceal it under his coat, and, failing in that, put his hands behind him. Mr, Palmer seized him, and asked him what he had behind him, to which he made no answer. A violent struggle took place, in the course of which the prisoner backed himself against the window of Mr. Edward Mofflin, a printer, and not only destroyed several panes of glass, but damaged and broke several things inside the window. The prisoner continued .the struggle with Mr. Palmer, repeatedly struck him and tore his shirt and neckerchief. Several persons then went to the assistance of Mr. Palmer, and the prisoner threw himself on the ground, and kicked at him. A constable named Pickering, 230 S, also came to the aid of Mr. Palmer, on which the prisoner took a large clasp knife from his pocket, opened it, and made plunges at every one within his reach. Fortunately he did not stab any one, but, he inflicted serious injuries on Pickering, on another policeman who was thrown, and also upon Mr. Palmer. The prisoner was ultimately secured, with the bacon in his possession. Pickering said the prisoner was convicted 11 years ago for stealing lead and copper, and sentenced to six years' penal servitude ; and since his return to his old quarters he had been summarily convicted of larceny, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner had been in custody on other occasions for robberies and assaults. The prisoner, in defence, admitted that he had been trans ported, but since the expiration of his sentence he had been working hard in Mr. Green's ship building yard and other places. He was very fond of a drop of drink, and unfor tunately when he was tipsy he did not know what ho was about. He had been terribly knocked about by eight or nine of his countrymen, until he was " smothered in blood." That weakened his head, and when he had the " drop taken" he was mad and did not know what he was about. Mr, Woolrych said he could not do otherwise than send this case for trial. Tho prisoner had been sentenced to six years penal servitude, and on the 10th December, 1861, was summarily convicted and sentenced to six months' impri sonment and hard labour for stealing a tile of copper. He was afraid the prisoner was an incorrigible thief, who had net taken warning by the previous convictions. He should commit the prisoner for trial on two charges, for stealing the bacon, and also for assaulting Mr. Palmer. WESTMINSTER. CHIEGE or MANSLAUGHTER.—Richard Pelham, a labouring man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe, charged with the manslaughter of Charles Cochen. Edwin F Gale, 12, Commercial-road, Pimlico—On Sa turday, a little after seven, the prisoner and another man were fighting in West-square. The man he was fighting had hit him in the breast, and that ended the fight, which lasted six or seven minutes. They were going to have something to drink L iendly, when people around them urged them to fight it out, and they fought three or four rounds. Both fell, and the deceased caught hold of the prisoner by the legs and pulled him a few yards. As de ceased had hold of the prisoner he was pulled away. He then stood up, but immediately afterwards dropped down dead. Frederick Bayless gave a nearly similar account of the transaction. Henry Peleto, a young man, was put forward to account for the transaction. He said— After we had all done work ing we went to the Rising Sun, in the Commercial-road, on Saturday night, and began larking. The prisoner was there when deceased and the rest of us went in, and prisoner and deceased got a sky .larking, and in sparring the prisoner's nose bled. He then went and sat down, and when he got np again they began fighting. The landlady came and said she would have no fighting there, and then they went out and fought. Mr. Selfe—Did any of you try to stop the fight ? Witness—We all tried to stop it, but others urged them on. In the last round both fell—the prisoner was under. Mr. Selfe—How long did they fight last ? Witness—A quarter of an hour. Mr. Selfe—And no police came? Witness—No. The sergeant came up at six, and Inspec tor Howard apprehended the prisoner afterwards at his residence. Prisoner was remanded on bail until next Tuesdday next. SHIPPING—This Day.

Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, there was a large attend ance, and some good shooting was made. In the first com petition of the Metropolitan Stakes, value £lOO, there were about 200 competitors for the 18 prizes. The first prize, £25, was won by Sergeant Gibbs, Bristol Rifles, 46 marks; the second, £l5, by Lieutenant Marriner, West Middlesex, 45; and the third £lO, by Private Seymour, Queen's (Westminster), 44.

The ar rangements made by the committee were most satisfactory, On Monday last the Oxford and Cambridge University Volunteers met at Fort Meadow, near Oxford, and under command of ;Colonel M'Murdo, ' went through the movements incidental to a brigade fieldday. The Oxford corps was the first to arrive on the ground, and soon after their companions in arms were seen marching to the ren dezvouz As Oxford deployed on its rear, and Cambridge on its leading company, the precision with which the dis tances were taken, the quickness and cerrectness of the dressing, and the rapidity and steadiness of the formation, tested at once the almost professional efficiency of covering sergeants, officers, and men. After a change of front on No. 4 of the Oxford battalion, the Cambridge being thrown back, the left company of Oxford and right of Cambridge were thrown out to skirmish and cover the advance of the battalions formed into column. As the skirmishers ad vanced even at a comparatively short distance, growing dim and indistinct owing to the light shade of their uniform, three was ample time to criticise the progress of the men in this most important part of the drill of light troops. The briskness of the fire, careful preservation of distance betwen the fi'es, steadines- in advancing, retiring, or taknagground to a flank, the ready formation of the company and batta lion squares as the last notes of the "alarm" died away, the galling file-firing—all showed the attention that had been paid to the most essential points in military skill and disci pline. Possibly the fire of the skirmishers would have bean even still more effective had every third file only fired atthe bugle sound, the first and second taking it up with slight intervals between their fire. To describe in detail all the movements would be tedious ; but one thing deserves espe cial mention—the file-firing—of which it would be no exag geration to say that it was all it should be. One other movement most difficult of execution was remarkably well performed—the lines alternately retiring through each other, keeping up the file-firing on the retire. At the close of the day the troops marched past Colonel A.l'Murdo, the Oxford being remarkable for the even character of their movement. No one company was conspicuous among its peers ; but the Cambridge No. 6, without doubt, bore the palm. Led by Capt. Ross, the quondam champion shot of England, it moved with a step and front not unworthy the best trained troops of a regular army. After the review the Cambridge companies were entertained in different College halls, and left by special train for Cambridge at 8,30. The third annual prize meeting of the Sussex Volunteer Association was held at the Littlehampton Fort Govern ment ranges on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, 9th, 10th, and 11th of June, The shooting arrangements were excellently carried out under the direction of Major Pipon. Capt. and Adjutant Taylor acted as umpire, and Sergeant-Major Dibbin as secretary. The weather on the first two days, although fine, was rather windy, and conse quently very unfavourable to the shooting. On the third day, in addition to a strong wind, which slew across the ranges from the right,there were intermediate showers. The competitors for the prizes on the first two days were en rolled Volunteers,and the disembodied militia of the county. All the prizes were shot for with three- grooved Enfield rifles of bona fide Government pattern (1853) Government ammunition, Hythe position, Wimbledon scoring. On Wednesday evening Lord West distributed the prizes to the successful competitors won on that and the previous day. The following is a list of the prizes :-200 and 300 yards ranges, five shots each distance—Private Street, 9th Sussex (Arundel) Rifles, £lO, 28 marks; Sergeant May, sth Sussex (East Grinstead) Rifles, £5, 28 marks; Burgler Leaney, 17th Sussex, £3, 25 marks. It will be seen from the foregoing that Private Street and Sergeant May each made 28 marks, and in shooting off the tie Street made a "centre," and May missed. 500 and 600 yards, five shots at each distance—Private Waggett, Ist Sussex (Brighton) Rifles, £l5, 24 marks; Private Scott, Ist Sussex (Brighton) Rifles, £lO, 28 marks; Private Atfield, 9th Sussex (Arun del) Rifles, £5, 23 marks. 700 and 800 yards, seven shots at each distance—Ensign Padwick, 7th Sussex (Horsman) Rifles, " County Cup," value £25, with bronze medal of the Nationel Rifle Association, 31 marks; Capt. Warren, 9th Sussex (Arundel) Rifles, £lO, 25 marks ; Corporal Sharp, 9th Sussex (Arundel) Rifles, £5, 22 marks. 400 yards, 7 shots.—Staff-Sergeant Daintrey, 6th Sussex (Pet worth) Rifles, a cup, value 115, presented by the inhabitants of Littlehampton, 25 marks ; Colour-Sergeant Cortis llth Sussex (Worthing) Rifles, £5, 23 marks. 200 and 500 yards, 7 shots at each distance, open to all corners—Colour- Sergeant Cortis, 11th Sussex (Worthing) Rifles, £2O, 41 marks; Corporal Livesay, let Sussex (Brighton) Rifles, £lO, 40 marks; for the 3d prize, £5, Ensign Padwick, 7th Sussex Rifles, and private Goppy, each made 36 marks, and, instead of shooting off, agreed to d vide. On the whole the shoot ing was far superior to that of the two previous meetings. The competition for the Littlehampton cup was very excit ing and extremely good; 37 competitors made more than a point per shot, the winner of the cup 4 bulls' eyes and 3 centres in seven shots. On Wednesday two batteries belonging to the Ist Kent Administrative Brigade of Volunteer Artillery, under the command of Lieut.-C. 1. Gladdish, proceeded to the fortifica tions which command the entrance to Chatham harbour, for the purpose of expending one-half of their annual allow ance of ammunition from the garrison guns mounted on the fortress, consisting of 100 rounds of solid shot from 68- pounder and 32-pounder guns, and 25 rounds of common shell. On the batteries being manned, a rapid course of firing with solid shot was commenced from the 68- pounders and 32-pounders, at a target moored to seaward, at a range of 1,800 yards. After the expenditure of the supply of solid shot, practice was made with the common shell. Some estimate may be formed of the efficiency of the corps in the use and management of heavy ordnance when it is stated that the target was on several occasions during the firing both with shot and shell, shivered to atoms, and the frame work on which it floated considerably damaged, while the opinion was freely expressed by competent judges that the practice was equal, if not superior, to that of the regular artillery. WIIAT HAS ADMIRAL WILKES DUNS P--This is an interesting question to solve. Admiral Wilkes has made a great noise in the world, and some troubi.9 too. He was busily engaged in finishing the narrative of his South Sea expediti. n, and was returning home from Africa when he fell foul of Mason and Sltdell, and created imm me° exciieruent thereby among the diplomats and commentatesrs upon international law all over both hemispheres. When 1 Admiral Goldsborough failed to accomplish what was ex pected of him in the Che, - 2peake, Admiral 'Wilkes got com mand of the flotilla in the James River, but he did not suc ceed in doing anything there. Then he was intrusted with the charge of a flying squadron around the West Indies, and people expected to see the rebel privateers swept off the sea at once ; but, with the exception of an occasional growl from a newspaper in Nassau or Berumda, we heardvebrye little of Admiral Wilkes's proceedings until he seized .1 1 )1 Peterhoff,which caused another row in England. Certainly he he has not diminished the number of the rebel sh te i p h s a o ve p been As far as they are concerned his fleet aepapiewars ay a flying squadron indeed, for they for a special service, and the . Vanderbilt, which was destined f he would let the Vanderbilt the privateers. Now he has seizedlioanve of oursokwetveleesaserlosf, has made her his flagship. intozi n g a t the flagship,rebel it Alabama would or Florida, and turn one e vident that there is no chance alone, and content himselfo be much better.

The judges are bound to conform to the enactments of the penal code promulgated at the same time by the National Government. The Russians, as may well be seen, have no longer anything to do in Poland, where their presence only serves to disturb l ega l or d er ." EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY IN AN AUSTRALIAN SIIIP. —A very remarkable discovery ht -.s just been made in one of Messrs. Green's ships recently arrived in the port of London. The ship Result was being overhauled a day or two ago in the London Docks, when the skeleton of a man was found standing upright. He was dressed, but all his fie -h had dried up on his bones, and his clothes there fore hung loosely about him. On searching him a sum cf twelve shillings in silver was found in his pocket, but no other property of any kind. It is supposed that the man had not the means to pay for his passage and secreted him self in some part of the vessel, and was either suffocated or that in consequence of the manne r in which the cargowa; packed he found it impossible to esca p e from his place P confinement, SPORTING NOTES, The gre s st sensation in sporting circles last week has boen the disqualifiesstion of Knowsley for the Queen's Steed Plate, and the nu ; fication of all bets on the Fernhill Stakes, won by Tomato. Tc.ith regard td the former, it appears that Knowsley took the !maiden allowance, to which he was not entitled, and no Boone was the Earl of Glasgow made aware of the error than he at once resigned all claim to the tam ; consequently, as bets and stakes are inseparable in such slues, those who backed Knowsley were placed in the unpleasaist position of having to pay, whilst the backers of Umpire, on Ske other hand, unexpectedly found themselves winners instead of losers on the race—a result aat altered many accounts irons the " losing " to the "winning" side. Nor, except in a few instances, was the decision, th ough a " sore blow" to the bookmakers, cavilled at; for Imme diately on Lord Coventry ap i sealing to Admiral Rom?, as to whether there could be any grnund for withholding pay ment on the race, and receiving' a reply in the negative, the settling thereupon was instantly proceeded with. Iu the meantime, the question relative to the bets on the Fernhill stakes, won by Tomato, had been under investigation by the Hon. Admiral Rous, Air. Gerard Sturt, and Mr. On slow, the two latter acting by deputy; and when it was an. nounced that Mr, Sturt and Mr. Onslow Nnre in favour of declaring all bets on the race off, in opposition to the opinion of the Admiral, who publicly protested against the decision, as being " directly opposed to racing law, and setting a most dangerous precedent," such an exhibition of popular feeling was witnessed as we never before remember at Taat t.- tersall's. Admiral Rous's protest was coincided in by least two-thirds of those present, and the bookmakers, almost to a man, declined to ottle on the race. The case will undergo further investigations The hill of fare for Odiham races, which commence to morrow, is of greater extent than usual. There are six items on the list. The Hurstbourne iritakes has 17 engaged, the best of whom I expect will turn int in Starbe.s,m, even with his 7!bs. penalty. Gibraltar, from tie forward ,nosition he obtained in the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, ouesht to credit his owner with the Odiham Handicap, his most dangerous opponent being Blondin. For the Dogmerstleld Park Stakes I have most fancy for Faith. On Wednesday the Bibury Club holds its meeting. The Biennial has 88 horses engaged, amongst whom are several that have been heavilysbacked for next year's Derby. Front the amount of money that Ackworth has been entrusted with in good quarters, he must have my confidence. The Bibury Stakes will fall to Rubicon. The match between Adventurer and Libellous will be an exciting race, but the latter will find the distance too far. For the Stockbridge Cup neither Buckstone or Scottish Chief are likely to put in an appearance,and as Myrtle has such a pull in th e weights over all the other horses engaged,l cannot doubt the s uccessofMr. Ten Broeck. The Biennial will fall to Mr. Merry with the aid of Gladstone. The Beaufort Handicap has an acceptance of seven only out ors, 0 handicapped, and the last on the list, Kingswo od, 3 y 6st 51b, is decidedly best in, for he meets Carisbrook, 4 yrs, Set 121 b, with nearly a stone the best of the weights, and the latter should heat tali the others. The Danebury Nursery Stakes, a free handi cap for two year olds, T.Y.C., is a new race for the second day, and the acceptance is more respectable than that for the Beaufort Handicap ; still, J. Day may spoil it, as Red cap, 7st, is almost turned loose, and whatever beats him should win. The Westmoreland Plate, one mile, is a weight for age race, and Flying Fish, having been fortunate enough to escape a penalty u she should have no difficulty inwintaing, supposing the stake is good enough to attract Lord Stamford, In the Stewards' Plate there are certain penalties and al lowances , but they are not so heavy as to altogether pre clude the good horses from running; so, in all likelihood, • Asteroid, Atherstone, Fairwater, Buckstone, Stradalla, and Zetland will join in the contest, and perhaps Tim Whiffler may also be tempted to try to wipe out the defeat inflicted on him by Mr. Merry's horse at Ascot. Buckstone beat Asteroid easily at Chester at 141 b, and they now meet at 71b, which, with the two severe heats so recently taken cm of the now;fortnet Ascot, gives Sir Joseph Hawley's horse a great pull Instead of 281 b which he gave her for the Chester Cup, it stands to reason, despite the French mare's equivocal performance on the Roodee, that Asteroid is the best worth, trusting on this occasion. The other events to be decided are scarcely of any im portance. Although the Northumberland Plate stands for decision next week, no demonstration of any importance has yet been made in favour of any of the horses engaged, as much as 10 to 1 being still offered on the field. At present I can see nothing with more formidable pretensions to carry off this rich stake than the three top weights, namely, Carbineer, Caller On, and Adventurer, giving the preference to the former, as I cannot forget his gallant straggle with Tim Whiffler in the Gold Vase at Ascot last year, where " Tim" only beat Carbineer by a short head.
