TONEY MARKET AND COMMZECIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Notwithstanding the high rate for discount ac mmodation, the Money Market continues to pre nt an active appearance. The inquiry for assist ce this morning has been brisk, and the brokers e therefore enabled to keep up their charges to e Bank of England minimum. Some few excep )nal oper►tions, however, have concluded at Si cent. The three following arrivals of gold have beeu nounced this morning :—The Givrawalt, from )rt Phillip, with £112,612; the Athenea, from Friel, with £2 704 ; and the Asia, from New )rk, with £4.378. • There were no bullion operations at the Bank on turday.

The Upper Assam Tea Company have declares' a vidend of 20 per cent, payable on and after the th inst., making with the ad interim dividend of per cant paid in Jule last a total of 30 per cent the year's operations ending 30th September, 63. The accounts from the various manufacturing 3tricts for tho past week have been of a less satis :ltory character. At Manchester both cloths and mils have been dealt in to a very limited extent, reduc3d prices. In the woollen districts of Leeds, .adford, and Huddersfield, the chief operations ye been in goods suitable to the autumn and ❑ter trade, while at Nottingham and Leicester ere has been little change of importance in the :e and hosiery departments. At Birmingham d its immediate neighbourhood business has been rtly suspended, owing to the Musical Festival. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to !uter,s telegram, the 3 per Cent.

BOW-STREET. THE REY. Mr. HIBBS AGAIN.—Mr. Richard Hibbs, a clergyman of the Church of England, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Flower, to answer the charge of having caused an obstruction to the public thoroughfare by preach ing in Trafalgar-square. The rev, defendant begged to be accommodated with a chair, as he was suffering acutely from rheumatism. He was at once provided with one, but immedhtely after wards he appeared to forget his physical calamity and rose from his seat, and, turning round alternately to the public, the bench, and the reporters' box, continued speaking and gesticulating in the most violent and excited manner. Police-constable A 616 was about to give his evidence, when the defendant demanded his address, questioned him in the most iusul:ing manner as to his comprehensLn of the sacred obligations of an oath, and imputed wilful and cor rupt perjury to him almost before he had uttered a sentence. The officer being at length allowed to proceed, stated that ho was on duty in Trafalgar-square, at half•past three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, when he saw a large crowd of persons assembled in the thoroughfare. The defendant was mounted on one of the terraces giving out a hymn. He was stationed near the National Gallery. Witness went up to him and told him to go away, as ho could not be permitted to preach there. Tllere was a crowd of five or six hundred persons gathered at the time, causing serious obstruction in the carriage -way to the carriages passing. On Sunday week witness and other constable, had nmoved him from the same place. The defendant came down into tho roadway but refused, to leave, and went on "arguing" with the public. Finding that ho would not go away witness took him into custody, and the charAl3 was taken at the station. The defendant, who had several friends with him, was liberated on bail. Defendant—Was I not walking towards St. Martin's Church when you took me into custody ? Constable— You walked a few yards only. You said you had a written order from Sir R. Mayne to preach there. Defendant—That is, not exle.ly an order, but a notice, which I exhibited here on a former occasion, and which gives me prmizsion to preach, unless requested by the inhabitants to desist. Now, sir (to Witness), did I not call on my friends to follow me to Leicester-square P Witness—Yes. You waived your hand and said, "Now, friends, to Leicester-square." Defendant—ls not this sufficient to prove that tho con stable has perjured himself. 110 has sworn that I refused to go, and now admits that I was actually going. The fa t is, I took his number in my book, and wrote by the side of the entry the words "Very insolent." Ile then took me out f revenge. Mr Flower—l think it very probable that you intended to go, and that the constable may have been mistaken as to your in'ention. I shall then fore discharge you, but you must not preach in public thoroughfares to the obstruction of the traffic. I darceay you think it is very wicked for omnibuses and cabs to be cut at all on Sundays, but you must not expect your judgment to be universally adopted. You are now discharged. .., DJfendant—Oh, Pee not done with this man yet. Now, sir—and this is—very grave matter, sir—are you the con stable that addressed to me, a clergyman of the Church of England, the offensive words, "none of your slang." Witness—Yes, I did nee those words. Defendant (with great vehemence) —Now, sir, let the public see what sort of men they have to deal with. His Honour—That was an imprudent remark, no doubt ; but, Mr Hibbs, you must bear in mind t iat a policeman is only a man, having blood, heart, and temper, like other me; and if you, a clergyman o f the Church of England, cannot keep your temper (and any one who has seen your excited manner must be clear upon the point) you twist not be surprised if a man in the constable's station in life should forgot himself also. I dismiss the case. The de fondant, who see me d anx i o us to kee p up the case much longer, then reluct an tl y re ti re d from the court. Foreign Mail Packet List.

EITRAORDINARY RUN OF SALMON,--The recent fresh in the rivers Ayr and noon, after so long a drought, coupled with the earlie r time f or th e remova l o f the stake nets, afforded s cenes on Thursday which gladdened the hearts of all interested in the re.stoeking of these, of late years, almost bat ren rivers. Salmon were seen disport ing themselves at the mouths of the rivers, making clear leaps out of the water; and in the river Ayr, it was esti mated by the miller and his men, and by delighted disciples of Walton who watched the sigh', that at least 500 salmon leapt the dam-dyke at the Ayr mill on Thursday. Now that the upper heritors of the Ayr and Dome have got their rivers re-stocked, a grave responsibility rests with them, to meet and put on watchers to protect the fish in the spawn ing season: If this is not done, they may be, sure that, as in years past, parties who neither know nor care for the difference between clean and foul fish will spear and use them.—..4yr "MITI tiser.

QUEENSTOWN, Sunday Night. The excitement in the court-room at New York on the re-examination of Muller on the 27th ult. was intense. The prisoner on entering, accompanied by his counsel, appeared totally indifferent to the charge against him. Amidst profound silence, Mr Blankman said the questions arising in the case were intricate, and required careful attention, and asked for an adjournment for a week. As a prece dent he referred to the case of Anderson, who fl , d to Canada after committing murder in the United States. The case was adjudicated upon in England, and resulted in the release of Anderson on the round that he was a slave. and that the deed was committed in making Lis escape. Ho also referred a) a murder committed on an American vessel by pirates and murderers who escaped to Liverpool nd the case was adjourned from month to month, and the British Government declined to give up the prisoners. Another feature in the present case was .hat no finding of a coroner's inquest had been pro duced, but if the documents showed that a case of murder bad been made cut his honour's duty was clear ; but if the case was ono of manslaughter it did not fall within the treaty of 1842. His client asserted his innocence of the charge, and he thought the Cour: ought to grant a postponement. Mr Marbury said it was not his honour's duty to try the guilt or innocence of the prisoner, but to ascertain if there was suffie t ient evidence to justify the committal of the prisoner. He did not wish to say anything harsh against the unfortunate man, but the ease seemed to plain that the Court could not refuse to send the prisoner back to England, where ha would have a fair trial according to the law of the land. Mr Blankman maintained that the question was one of guilt—that was a preliminary question. Was it probable the prisoner was guilty ? He was a German, and his fellow•citizens of America were interested in justice being done to him. It was not a question whether Mr. Seward should touch his bell and issue orders that the accused be spirited away secretly and withhut the forms of law; but the rights of the prisoner were to be guarded, and hence his demand for postponement. His Honour did not think the interest of the pri soner would suffer if he refused the application. Mr. Schaffer then moved for the prisoner's dis charge, arguing that there were insuperable objec tions to his detention. The law must deem him innocent, and if he declared his inten'iln of be coming a citiz3n the shield of the country would be thrown over him, and there was, in his opinion, a sublimity in the sudden awakening of England to revenge the blood of one of its citizens. He con sidered the treaty to be a violation of the constitu tion. An amendment provided that no man should be put in peril of his life without indictment by th• grand jury. The treaty of 1842 provided that fugi. tives should be rendered up on certain conditions, and if the prisoner was rendered up he would be convicted before ho was indicted. It was a prin ciple of national law that a state of war nullified all treaties True, it might be said that theme was no war b3tween the two countries in their sovereign capacity, but there was between the citizens of th• two countries. There were three sorts of war—pri vato, public, and mixed war. Mixed war could only be carried on between a nation on one side and indi viduals of a natiun on the other, which was divided into solemn and unsolemn war. Englishmen who were committing depredations upon our commerce must be restrained by their Government or they would be in state of war with America, and to say that such a state of war did not c list with Great Britain would be to forget the events of the past three years with England, which fact did away with ,the operation of treaties. li© then reviewed the evidence against the prisoner, and contended that accused was not one of the two men who entered the railway carriage with Mr Briggs, and that there was no evidence to detain him. Mr Blankman called Inspector Tanner, who de poced—l have seen Frarz Muller. I should judge him to be five feet six inches. He has no beard, I should think he never had any. Ido not call him a tall thin man, nor a thickset man. He has no whiskers nor any signs of having ever had any. This closed the case for the defence. Mr Marbury said it was never a question for the courts to decide whether a treaty be in force or not ; that was the prerogative of the executive. The clues. lion was whether the evidence was sufficient to justify his honour, as committing migistiate, in holding prisoner for trial. The evidence went to show that Mr Briggs entered the railway carriage, and a few minutes afterwards was found moaning on the track suffering from wounds in the head, from which he died on that same night. Muller was absent from his usual lodgings. In the com• partment of the railway car was found a bat known and proved to have belonged to Muller. Mr Briggs' hat was gone, and when the prisoner was arrested a bat similar to Mr Briggs's was found in his pos- session. A watch and chain belonging to Mr Briggs were missing, and two days after the murder Muller went to Mr Death's and exchanged a chain answering the description of Mr Briggs'e, and Mr Death positively identified the prisoner as the man who exchanged the chain. He was &so fully identified by Matthews. In regard to Mr Lee's testimony concerning tho two men seen in the same compartment with Mr Briggs, there was nothing to show that the same two men remained there or in the train after it started. There seemed on the whole to be abundance of proof that Muller was the murderer. Mr Marbury concluded by saying the chain of evidence was complete, not a link wanting to connect the prisoner with the commission of the crime with which he was charged, and called upon the commissioner to grant the necessary certificate of extradition in order that the case might undergo investigaticn in England. Commissioner Newton then delivered his deei bion. He said—My simple duty in this case is to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to enuble me to remand the prisoner that he may have an opportunity of being tried where the crime was committed, and there prove his innocence, or if guilty be punishad. It is not necessary for me to determine absolutely his guilt. The question to determine is, has a crime been committed ? If so, there is a probable cause from the evidence to show that the party accused is the one who committed the crime ? My duty is simple and plain. Ido not desire to sit in judgment over this man ; far bo it from me. I wish it were in my power to discover a trace of innocence to justify me in withholding the certificate of extradition, but I am free to say all the circumstances point fatally to the prisoner as the guilty man. So clear and distinct is the question of probable cause that I cannot for one moment have a doubt as to the proper course to be pursued. Under these circumstances lam cons strained to grant a certificate, and the prisoner, therefore, stands committed. This decision was received by some of those pre- sent with evident astonishment, but Muller himself, whose demeanour throughout was more that of a spectator than a criminal, was not in the least moved. The prisoner was then handed over to the cue• tudy of the British officers, and will probably arrive in England on the 15:h inst.

MARK-LANE. The demand for wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, exhibited less activity. Compared with the pre vious week the changes in prices were unimportant, but, in some instances, the quotations ruled in favour of buyers. The barley trade was quiet, at barely late rates. Other articles, however, ruled firm in price. On the continent the corn trade is dull, and at some of the ports prices have slightly declined. At New York, wheat and firer have considerably improved in value, although the export demand has not increased. . . The arrivals of English grain, fresh up to our markets last week, wore bat moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 8,31 i quarters of wheat, 3,183 barley, 27,423 oats, 3,371 rye, 2,680 beans, 1,193 peas, 120 tares, 16,623 iinseed, 13,147 oil seeds, 10,467 maize, 163 sundry seeds; 486 sacks and 10,277 barrels of fl rur. Fresh up to our market, to •day, the arrivals of English wheat were moderately good, and the quality of nearly the whole of the produce was fine. The attendance of buyers was by no means numerous, and most offers were at lower prices. A portion of the supply, however, changed hands at the rates current on Monday last, but in most instances factors bad to submit to a reduction in the quotations. compared with the same market. of fully one shilling per quarter, in order to clear the stands. The supply of most descriptions of foreign wheat on offer was tolerably large. Generally speaking, the trade was slow, and the amount of business transacted small. In prices, however, no quotable change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, at previous quotations. The market was moderately supplied with barley. The show of English produce on offer was of variable quality. and good and fine malting parcels realised full prices—in some instances, 38s per quarter. Inferior produce, how• ever, was dull, and the quotations declined is to 2s per quarter. _ _ _ The malt trado was in a sluggish state, at abut previous rates. With oats the market was well supplied. Compared with several previous markets the trade exhibited less activity. A tolerably extensive business was, however, transacted, and prices ruled firm. The supply of beans on offer was small, and all descrip tions moved off freely, at extreme rates. _ The few peas onC,ffor were held at very full prices, at which they were mostly disposed of. For most descriptions cf flour the trade was quiet, but without leading to any quotable change in the currencies. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a largo supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-lay, but its general quality was inferior. Sales consequently progressed slowly, at about stationary prices, The arrivals of beasts fresh up from cur own grarng districts, as well as from Ireland, were seasonably good as to number ; but the condition of most kiads was inferior. From Scotland the receipts were very moderate. Prime Scots, Herefords, Devons, and Shorthorns were in steady request, and, in some instances, the quotations had an up ward tendency. All inferior kinds were a dull inquiry, at last Monday's currency. The top figure for SeJts and crosses was 6s. 2d. per 81bs. From Lincolcshii e, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,600 shorthorns and crosses; from other parts of England 800 various breeds; from Scotland 71 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 400 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was only moderate, and most breeds came to hand in middling condition. Prime Devon& half breds, &c., sold readily, on rather higher terms.

Immediately on the rceeipt of informatio❑ of the death of the Duke of Cleveland, as reported in The Sun, by which Lord Harry Vane (the colleague of Mr F. North, M P.) is elevated to the House of Lords, the Liberal party bestirred themselves an) called a preliminary meeting by wcrd of mouth at the Castle Hotel. The result was an invitation to the Hon. Geo. Waldegrave Leslie, formerly a resi dent here, and brother of the Bishop of Carlisle, to stand for the vacant seat. A favcurable reply was received, and a requ'sition was signed within 12 ours by 300 of the voterp. Mr P. F. Robertson, deputy-chairman of the Lon don Assurance Corporation, formerly the Conserva tive member for the borough, commenced a canvass on Friday, and on Saturday issued an address in which he refers to his past services in the House, when he was "ever ready to give an independent vote in support of what he deemed beneficial to the country." He adds, "I have supported Lord Palmer stonwhen I thought him right and voted against him when I deemed him in the wrong ; and this I would do again if placed by you in the House of Commons. He also declared that be v ill not bind himself upon any particular question. It is said that the agent of Mr. Dumas, of Brighton notoriety, is also in the town. The Hon. George Waldegrave Leslie arrived on on Saturday evening, and a numerously attended meeting (called at two hours' notice) was held in the Assembly-room. The chair was taken by the ex-Mayor, Mr. Alderman R )6.9, and the hon. can didate was supported by the leading members of the town council. In a speech of considerable length, Mr. Leslie detailed his political convictions. Ile stated himself to be a warm supporter of Lord Pal• merstou's Government ; to be in favour of such retrenchment in the national expenditure as was possible having regard to the efficiency of the various services, and of any well considered measure for extending the franchise. Ho would not support the total abolition of church rates, but would hail with satisfaction any measure that would provide for an equitable adjustment of the question ; and he vt as opposed to voting by ballot. Several questions were asked, and answered in a manly and sAtisf:.c tory manner. A resolution pledging the meeting to use every effort to secure the return of the Hon. George Waldegrave Leslie (mov.:d by Mr. Conn• cillor Gausden, and seconded by Mr. 11. Dunk), was unanimously carried. Although the Liberals have a considerable mtjority on the register, it is thought that Mr. Robertson's local influence will place him in a favourable position at the poll. OXFORDSHIRE. The rumour which has been current for some time past that the Right lion. J. W. Henley, who has for so many years represented the county of Oxford in the Rouse of Commons, intends to retire at the close of the present Parliamen, is, we have reason to believe, without Lundation. It is 'Post improbable that there will be any opposition to either of the present members, as nothing but the retirement of Mr. Henley would bring Sir Henry Dashwood forward egain. The Railway Cleariug House. The Clearing House being so essential to the railways has naturally kept pace with their multiplication. In 1845, three years after its first establishment, the number of com panies on its books wan only 16 ; ten years Inter it had risen to 73, and it is now 110, with a united mileage of 10,859 miles. In reality the number of companies does not give an adequate notion of the growth of business, in consequence of the leasing and amalgamations which are always going on. The Clearing House knows only the companies which actually work the lines, and deals only with the inter changed traffic, without touching that which is confined to the lino of any particular compary. A brief eun►wury of which the Cleating nous() accomplishes at the present time will give a fair idea of the important part which it plays in the railway system. The number of stations raiding traffic returns monthly is as follows—(foods and cattle, 3,121; passengers, 1,817 ; parcels, 2,368. Tho num ber of pairs of stations between which bookings are car ried on monthly is—Goods and cattle, 62,470; pas sengers, 16,145; parcels, 16,626. Each of these passengers, each of these cattle or passengers, has to be traced through out its whole journey, and a statement drawn up of the distance which he sr it lass travelled over each division of the route. Tho average number of railways over which each consignment of goods is conveyed is 3•U8; each passenger, 3.46; each parcel, 3.07. The gross receipts for 12 months amount to an aggregate of £8,044 791, as compared with £401,651 in 1815, and £1,8.9,648 in 1855. The present total is thus composod—Gods and cattle, £5,937,755; pas sengers, £1,805,915; parzels, £301,123. The total amount of the receipts of traffic of all kinds cleared in this office since its establishment reaches the enormous sum of up wards of £81,000,000. Not only each passenger and consignment, but each carriage, waggon, and tarpaulin has to be traced through the mass of returns from the thousands of stations up and down the country. Before the establishment of the Clear jog Howse the practice cf making an extensive use of carriages and waggons without acknowledgment had grown to be an evil of serious magnitude. The means, however, which aro possessed by this office of tracing e."ch vehicle, from the memont it leaves the present line until it returns to it, and of obtaining payment of the sums in which the companies aro reciprocally indebted under the regulation of mileage and demurrage, sown checked and has now quite put an end to this abuse. The amount of stock sent on to foreign lines (that is, to lines other than that of the owners of the stock) iu the twelve months is as follows :—Waggons, 2,287,074 ; sheets, 1,248,492 ; carriages, vans, &0., 633,060. Tho total mileage for which a charge is made through the Clearing Howe in the year is now 214,0f)9,685. The number of days for which demurrage is actually charged is 279,926; and the total amount for mileage and demurrage comes to ,6287,937. The Clearing House .has, since ISI2, obtained payment for the detention or demurrage of rolling stock for periods equal in the aggregate to half as much again as has elapsed, since the creation of the world. The detention for a day, a half-day, or even an hour beyond the time stipulated by the agreements, is duly noted dawn against anycornpany, and the sum total of all these delays has been found to amount to 9,744 years. The distance run by the rolling stook in question on foreign lines since the opening of the office is upwards of 3 ,935,00,001 miles. Returns are also received at the Clearing Ilouso of everything found on the various lines, and by this means during the year 1863 as many as 14,893 articles were restored to their owners. In order to illustrate the complications of through-booking which the Clearing House han to unravel, wo may enume rate the number of different companies with which each traveller and consignor of goods would in the case of cer tain through routes hive to deal separately, were it not for this valuable office. The route from Easton-square to In verness, for eximple,' embraces the London and Nara, Western, Caledonian, Scottie!). Central, Scottiah North Eastern, Inverness and Perth Junction, and Inverness and Aberdeen Junction. In order to get from Darlington to Cardiff the traveller has to pass over the North Eastern, Midland, Lancashire and Yorkshire, London and North Western, Great Western, and Rhymney railways. Between Lynn and Stirling lie the following lines:—The Great Eastern, Cireat Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Eastern, North British, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Scottish Central Railways. From Lynn to Inverness, via Aberdeen, the route includes in addition to the above Scottish North Eastern, Great North of Scotland, and In verness and Aberdeen Junction.—Railway Nat's.

Having been knocked about so much in the market I must reserve my finel decision until to-morrow, when I shall have some further in. formation from Dancaster. The meeting at Warwick was a little more successful than some of its predecessors. The Leamington Stakes brought out ten runners, The race was reduced to a match between Revolver and Redcap, Lord Hastings' horse having always a little the beet of it, and winning easily at last. The interest in the remaining events was not very great. Damascus made an easy win of it in the Racing Stakes, and was bought in fur 200 guineas. lie is much too good a ono to lot go. The Shorts Handicap gave us a benefit in the usual amount of false starts and breaks away. Practitioner and 13onaie Glen were the two whose performance tired out the patience of ail concerned, the former being especially conspicuous in the successful attempt his jockey inado:to get in front. Practitioner had to succumb to Hewkshaw, who, admirably ridden b y Ileartfiald, came with a rush opposite the stand, and won after a fine race by a neck. There was a fine finish for the Castle Park Stakes between the three placed, Auditor having the best of it, before they had gone hell the dis tance, though hardly pressed by Brown Willy and Volatile. No ono ventured beyond the selling price (.£300) for the winner, who is a very promising colt, and both he and Brown Willy—they are iu the Derby— may be looked upon as taking fair rank among the outside division for the blue riband of 'Gi. Caller Ou had * only Stanton at all likely to make her gullup in the Queen's Plate, and we fancy he never fairly extended her. She appeared to be pulling Challoner's arms tiff all the way as usual, and Stanton shutting up soon after en tering the straight, rho canto out and won in a canter amidst the usual cheering that now attends upon the second Bocawing, whenever she appears, front John o'Groat's house to the Lend's End. After Dawascus had won the Members' Plato, and been sold to Mr. Golby for 115 guineas, a field of eleven were telegraphed fur the Stand Handley, from which number Birefinder was naturally selected as favourite, though report spoke, wail of Zephyr's chance, a filly front Joseph Dawson's stable. After going about half the distance Tomfoolery fell, bringing with hint Z ira, Quicksand, Outer, and Zephyr, and leaving the lead to Birdfinder, who, with only Practitioner near Lint, won in a canter by two lengths. Only the five placed Fused the post, and a great crowd collectitys round the site of the disaster, it became known that the flee jeckeis were all more or less injured. Herbert was insensible, and Sharp and Sayers eeverely shaken and unable to stand. The latter was carried into the weighing.roorn, and it was feared at first that his leg was broken, but upon surgical examination it was pronounced to ho a severe contusion of the knee. He was carried as quickly as possible into the town. Some delay occurred in removing the other two from the spot where they fell; and in the meantime, while rho course was dens( ly thronged at that point, Capt. Sharp and Mr Bevil!, on Disappointment and Bolero. proceeded to the mile post to start fur the last race, the Scurry, and a whole chapter of mistakes occurred from their so doing. In the first piece, they were Lot started by the proper starter, but, by their own account, both al to accept the servi ces o f M r I‘l`George's dtg-bearer, a started by him they accord inglySt were. On coming to the crowd, Captain Sharp, who was leading, pulled up, but Mr ILvill managed to force a way somehow through it, and coming en alone so Viand the chair, weighed in, and claimed to be the winner. The odds had bcon 5 to 4 on Bolero, end of course there was great confusion and disputing at this unsatieactory result. An objection was raised on the' part of Capt. Sharp, and Nlr Payne, the only steward then present, declining to gu into it by hinaselt, there seemed nothing more to be dune. But the owner of Disappointment (on the supposition, we presume, that the first start was not a valid one) returned to the post, and Mr Bevil! having left, walked over, had his number hoisted by the judge, and also went through the ceremony of weighing in. So there ate two sinners of the Scurry, and a pretty tangled skein for the stewards to unravel. - The races at Leicester call for no particular remark. The Doncaster Meeting commences to-morrow. Will Agnes ought to credit John Osborne with the Filly Stakes, unless some unforseen dark one should turn up, which is not at all likely. The Champagne Stakes has Oardevisuro and Puritan engaged, anti unless Barbaross t, of whom I have heard glowing accounts, should defeat public form, the former should have no difficulty in placing the Stakes to the credit of Mr Sutton. The Great Yorkshire Handicap, although it has a very goof acceptance, may follow in the wake of theGoodwood Stakes, the Ebor Handicap, and the Liverpool Cup, where so many horses were introduced into the betting only for (to give it a polite name) swindling the public. Those best in are East Lancashire, Revolver, and Finesse. No horse could be in finer condition than Lotd St. Vincent's. One of the trio ought to pull through, and _ _ _ . _ if I stood alone on ono it would bo EAST LANCISIIIRI3. The Glasgow Stakes will, in all probability, be won by Brown Broad, and of the 27 loft in for the Itovival Plate, Attraction and Lady Clifden appear the most formidable. The other events I shall refer to when I give my final se• lection for the St. Leger to-morrow. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day, CITY BETTING—TiIIs DAY. GREAT It3RKSIIIRE STAKES.
