AND COMMMICIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Notwithstanding the high rate for discount ac commodation, the Money Market continues to pre sent an active appearance. The inquiry for assist ance this morning has been brisk, and the brokers are therefore enabled to keep up their charges to the Bank of England minimum. Some few excep tional operations, however, have concluded at 8i per cent. The three following arrivals of gold have been announced this morning :—The Gavrawalt, from Port Phillip, with £112,612 ; the Athenea, from Arrica, with £2,704 ; and the Asia, from New York, with £4,378.

The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for th 3 past week have been of a loss satis factory character. At Manchester both cloths and yarns have been dealt in to a very limited extent, at reduced prices. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, the chief operations have been in goods suitable to the autumn and winter trade, while at Nottingham and Leicester there has been little change of importance in the lace and hosiery departments. At Birmingham and its immediate neighbourhood business has been partly suspended, owing to the Musical Festival. Two o'CLocK.

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 flour have considerably improved in value, although the export demand has not increased. The arrivals of English grain, fresh up to our markets last week, were but moderate. Th 3 imports from abroad amounted to 8,314 qunrters of wheat, 3,183 barley, 27,423 oats, 3,371 rye, 2,680 beans, 1,193 peas, 120 tares, 16,623 linseed, 13,117 oil seeds, 10,467 maize, 160 sundry seeds ; 436 sacks and 10,277 barrels of flour. 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 meats 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 had 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 c f 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 por quarter. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, at about 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 on offer were held at very full prices, at which they were mostly disposed of. For most descriptions of flour the trade was quiet, but without leading to any quotable change in the currencies. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a large supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day, but its general quality was inferior. Sales consequently progressed slowly, at about stationary prices, The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, were seasonably good as to number; but the condition of most kinds 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. AU inferior kinds were a dull inquiry, at last Monday's currency. The top figure for Soots and crosses was 58. 2d. per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,500 shorthorns and crosses; from other parts of England 800 various breeds; from Scotland 71 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 400 oxen and heifers. Tho show of sheep was only moderate, and most breeds came to hand in middling condition. Prime D3vons. half breds, &0., sold readily, on rather higher terms. Inferior sheep were a dull inquiry, at late rates. The general top figure was ss. 6d. per 81bs. e wore but moderately supplied with calves, which moved off freely, at slightly enhanced rates—viz., from Is. to ss. per Blbs.

TIOW- STREET. TIEE RET. Mr. Hums AoAIN.—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 immediately 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 insulting manner as to his comprehension of the sacred obligations of an oath, and imputed wilful and cor rupt perjury to him almost before he had uttsred a sentence. The officer being at length allowed to proceed, stated that he 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. There 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 removed 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 charge 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 It. Mayne to preach there. Defendant—That is, not exactly an order, but a notice, which I exhibited here on a former occasion, and which gives me parmi,sion 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 ? Witness—Yes. You waived your hand and said, "Now, friends, to Leioester-square." Defendant—ls not this sufficient to prove that the con• stable has perjured himself. Ile 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 aide of the entry the words "Very insolent." He then took me out f 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 intention. I shall therefore discharge you, but you must not preach in public thoroughfares to the obstruction of the traffic. I darecay you think it is very wicked for omnibuses and cabs to be out at all on Sundays, but you must not expect your j adgruont to be universally adopted. You aro now discharged. Defendant—Oh, Use 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." Defendant (with gre a t vc h eill ence)—N°w , Witness—Yes, I did nee those words. 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 men, and if you, a clergyman of the Church of England, cannot keep your temper (and any one who has seen your excited manner must be clear upon the point) you must not be surprised if a man in the constable's station in life should forget himsolf also. I dismiss the case. The defendant, who seemed anxious to keep up the case much longer, then reluctantly retired from the court. For eign Mail racket List. MAILS DUE.

AN ECCLESIASTICAL EVENT.-11Ir Spurgeon has announced his intention of withdrawing from the Evange lical Alliance. EXTRAORDINARY RUN OF SALMON,—The recent fresh in the rivers Ayr and Doon, after so long a drought, coupled with the earlier time for the removal of the stake nets, afforded scenes on Thursday which gladdened the hearts of all interested in the re-stoeking of these, of late years, almost barren 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 sight, that at least 500 salmon leapt the dam-dyke at the Ayr mill on Thursday. Now that the upper beritors of the Ayr and Doon have got their rivers re-stocked, a grave responsibility rests with them, to meet and put on wa'chers 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 knew nor care for the difference between clean and foul fish will spear and use them.—Ayr _el dveeliscr. A HINT FOR LINCOLN.—The following were among the mottoes inscribed ou the banners at the peace meeting in Syracuse on the ISth ult. :—" No more victims for the slaughter pen ; not a man nor a dollar." "If Seward touches his bell again the people will stretch his neck." " Abe Lincoln slaughters white men under the pretence of freeing niggers." " The peop!e are ready to take vengeance on the radvr,eates of civil war." "Lincoln demands blood I Provost marshals beware I" " L-t the tyrant tremble when the people, speak." 4 4 Ihurpation unreLukeil is despoti: m acreptel." " Cinch the tyrant Lincoln before he crush you." "Free ballots or free bul lets." 4. War is dissolution, speedy and final." "This is a nigger war." "We will not be conscripted in a war for the emancipation of slavery." "Humanity commands that this butchery shall cease." " Lincoln has murdered three white men to free one negro." A FRENCH TRANSLATION OF CHARLES DICKENS'S " Old Curiosity Shop" has just appeared in a quarto volume in the "Humans Populaires Illustrirs," under the title of "Le Marchand d'Antiquit' 6 a," illustrated with thirty plates by leda% QUEENSTOWN, Sanday Night. The excitement in the court-room at New York on the re-oxamination 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 fled to Canada after committing murder in the United States. The else was adjudicated upon in England, and resulted in the release of Anderson on the ground that he was a slave, and that the deed was committed in making tie etc ipe. Ho also referred to a murder committed on an American vessel by pirates and murderers who escaped to Liverpool, qnd 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 that no finding of a coroner's inquest had been pro duced, but if the documents showed that a case of murder bad been made out his honour's duty was clear; but if the eta() was one 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 bis honour's duty to try the guilt or innocence of the prisoner, but to ascertain if there was sufficient evidence to justify the committal of the prisoner. He did not wish to say anything harsh against the unfortunate man, but the ease seemed EO plain that the Court could not refuse to send the prisoner back to England, where he 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 ? Ho 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 touoh 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:im of be coming a citizen 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 the 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 he was indicted. It was a prin ciple of national !aw that a state of war nullified all treaties True, it might be said that there was no war between the two countries in their sovereign capacity, but there was between the citizens of the two countries. There were three sorts of war—pri vale, public, and mixed war. Mixed war could only be carried on between a nation on one side and indi viduals of a nation on the other, which was divided into solemn and uneolemn 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 exist 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. He 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 poeed—l have seen Fratz M uller. I should judge him to be fire feet six inches. He has no beard. I should think he never bad 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 (pea don was whether the evidence was sufficient to justify his honour, as committing magistrate, 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 csr was found a hat known and proved to have belonged to Muller. Mr Briggs' hat was gone, and when the prisoner was arrested a hat 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's, and Mr Dekh positively identified the prisoner as the man who exchanged the chain. He was a'so fully identified by Matthews; In regard to Mr Lee's testimony concerning the 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 investigation in England. Commissioner Newton then delivered his deci sion. He said—My simple duty in this case is to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to enable me to remand the prisoner that ho may have an opportunity of being tried where the crime was committed, and there prove his innocence, or if guilty be punished. It is not necessary for me to determine absolutely his guilt. The question to determine is, has a crime been committed P 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 be 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 con. strained to grant a certificate, and the prisoner, therefore, stands committed. This decision was received by some of those pre sent wi►h 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• turfy of the British officers, and will probably arrive in England on the 16:h inst. ANOTHER, STIAKSFERIAN DESCENDANT !—With a grave souse of humour, the Athenucem remarks as follows—We regret to have to announce " The Rev. Thomas Shakspere I" We are sorry to say it, but he claims to be another kinsman of the bard I No, wo do him wrong; his friends insist upon the consanguinity. A writer in the Card if Times has encountered this °Mat of the Warwick shire family at Nailsworth, in Gloucestershire, and has found that the rev. gentleman was content to designate himself as a" poor travelling preacher." He seems to 'be a man of some eense, for " he resolutely persists in refusing to trace the descent by baptismal register." Ile comes from the neighbourhood of Stratford, and remembers that his grandmother had the Shakspere arms suspended not in the best parlour, but in the kitchen. The Cardiff cor• respondent was, of course, " struck by his singular like ness to several of the great bard's portraits," which was an unlucky stroke, for this would prove that the travelling preacher cannot closely resemble the swan of Avon." Bat then this Shakapearian Thomas preaches with "a bold thought and true poetic utterance not unworthy of the great Poet himself I" Thomas Shakspere was rent up to the Stratford Jubilee, where, we are told, that "standing on the tomb of the bard, his legs trembled ; nature indi • eated the tie r Wo do not flee the oonnexteua ASHBURTON. Mr. Rogers, a gentleman living at Wage.house, near the town of Ashburtoi 1, has offered himself as a candidate for the borough in Liberal interests, and it is said that another gentleman, Mr Jardine, will probably be brought forward by the Liberals. Mr Astell, the present Conservative member, won by a majority of one only, and i► is said that there is an excellent chance of the Liberals regaining the seat, provided they are united and bring out one candi da'e only. --- EXETER. Great preparations are bt-ing made by both parties in this city for thu forthccrning registration. Th e narrow majority obtained try Lord Courtenay over Mr Coleridge has stimulated the Liberals to zealous efforts, and as Mr Coleridge has promised to bight the battlo again at the next general elecion, the Liberal party feel confident of regaining the scat. SURRENDER OF MULLER. 1864. Election Intelligence. HASTINGS. Immediately on the receipt of information 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 and called a preliminary meeting by wcrd of mouth at the Castle Hotel. The result was an invitation to the Hon. Geo. IValdegrave Leslie, formerly a resi dent here, and brother of the Bishop cf Carlisle, to stand for the vacant seat. A favourable reply was received, end a requ'sition was signed within 12 hours by 300 of the voters. 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 " over 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. Ile also doclared that he will 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 Waldegrave2slie 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 Rose, 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• merston'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. He 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 was opposed to voting by ballot. Several questions were asked, and answered in a manly and satisfac tory manner. A resolution pledging the meeting to use every effort to secure the return of the Hon. George Waldegrave Leslie (moved by Mr. Coun• cillor Gausden, and seconded by Mr. H. Dunk), was unanimously carried. Although the Liberals have a considerable majority 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 lUght Hon. J. W. Ilenley, who has for so many years represented the county of Oxford in the Hiuse of Commons, intends to retire at the close of the present Parliament, is, we have reason tc believe, without foundation. It is most improbable that there will be any opposition to either of the present members, GB nothing but the retirement of Mr. Henley would bring Sir Henry Dashwood forward again. , The Railway Clearing House. The Clearing House being so essential to the railways has naturally kept pace with their multiplication. In 1545, three years after its first establishment, the number of com panics on its books WAS only 16 ; ten years later it had risen to 73, and it is now 110, with a united mileage of 10,859 milts. 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 compar y. A brief summary of which the Clearing House 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 sanding traffic returns monthly is as follows—Goods and cattle, 3,121; passengers, 1,817 ; parcels, 2,358. The 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 or it has travelled over each division of the route. The average number of railways over which each consignment of goods is conveyed is 3-us ; each pissenger, 3.46; each parcel, 3.07. The gross receipts for 12 months amount to an aggregate of £8,014,791, as compared with £401,651 in 1815, and £4,8.9,648 in 1855. Tho present total is thus composed—Goods and cattle, £5,937,755 ; pas sengers, £1,805,915; parcels, £301,123. The total amount of the receipts of truffia 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. ing House the practice of making an extensive use of carriages and waggons without acknowledgment had grown to be an evil of serious magnitude. The moans, however, which aro posseemd by this office of tracing esch vehicle, (rout the moment 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, seen checked and has now quite put an end to this abuse. The amount of stock t3cnt on to foreign lines (that is, to lines other than that of the owners of the stock) in the twelve months is as follows :—Waggons, 2,287,074 ; shoots, 1,2 , 18,492 ; carriages, vans, 40., 633,060. The total mileage for which a charge is made through the Clearing lloueo in the year is now 214,01,9,685. The number of days for which demurrage is actually charged is 279,926; and the total amount for mileage and demurrage comes to £287,937• The Clearing House has, since 1842, obtained payment for the detention or demurrage of rolling stock for periods equal in the aggregate to half as much again as hits elapsed since the creation of the world. The detention for a day, a halt-day, or even an hour beyond the time stipulated by the agreements, is duly noted down against anycompany, and the sum total of all these delays has been found to amount to 9,744 years. The distance run by the rolling stock in question on foreign lines since the opening of the office is upwards of 3,935,003,00 miles. Returns are also received at the Clearing House 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 has to unravel, we may enume rate the number of different companies with which each traveller and consignor of goods would in the case of cer tain through rotates have to deal separately, were it not for this valuable effize. The route from Euston-square to In verness, for crimple, embraces the London and North Western, Caledonian, Scottish Central, Scottish North Eastern, Inverness and Perth Junotion, and Inverness and Aberdeen Junctior. . In order to get from Darlington to Cardiff tho 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, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Eastern, North British, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Scottish Central Raalways. From Lynn to Inverness, via Aberdeen, the route includes in adtliti, n to the above Scottish North Eastern, Great North of Scotland, and In verness and Aberdeen Junction. —Railway News.

The meetings at 'Warwick and Leicester throw no addi. tional light on the forthcoming St. Leger beyond the intro duction of Black Rock into thequotationseabeut whom a large commission was executed. A hostile movement act in against Baeagah, who was driven front 12 to 1 to 40 to 1, on the strength of some touting report that" the horse had fallen lame, but those who had taken liberties were glad to get out on Saturday at 12 to 1 when they found that the horse was not the " dead un" he was considered to be, Bookmakers, no dcubt, remember the awful dressing they got over St. Albans and Lord Clifden, when they imagined it was like coining money to lay against them. I have recommended hint to my readers ever since he ran at Epsom. Ile beat Ely much easier than the Miner, although all sorts of ex cuses were made for the latter, if ho comes well to the post I shall expect him to turn the tables on both Blair Athol and General Peel. Having been knocked about so much in the market I must reserve my final decision ue tit to-morrow, when I shall have sums further in• form alert from Doncaster. The meeting at Warwick was a little more successful than some of its predecessors. The Leamington Stakes brought out ten runners. The taco was reduced to a match between Revolver and Redcap, Lord llastings' horse having always a little the best of it, and winning easily at last. Tho interest in the remaining events was not very great. Damascus made an easy win of it in the Racing Stakes, and was bought in for 200 guineas. lie is much too good a one to let go. The Shorts Handicap gave us a benefit in the usual amount of false starts and breaks away. Practitioner and Buneie Glen were the two whose performaLce tired out the patience of all concerned, the former being especially conspicuous in the successful attempt his jockey made:to get in front. Practitioner had to succumb to Hawkshaw, who, admirably ridden by Hearttidd, came with a rush oppozito the stand, and won after a fine race by a neck. There was a tine finish for the Castle Park Stakes between the three placed, Auditor having the bust .of it, before they had gone half the dis tone's, though hardly pressed by Brown Willy end Volatile. No ono ventured beyond the selling price (.C3oj) for the wiener, who is a very promising cult, and both ho and Brown Willy—they are in the Derby— may be looked upon as taking fair rank among the outside division for the blue riband of '65. Caller Ou had only Stanton at all likely to make her gallop in the Queen's Plate, and we fancy ho never fairly extended her. She appeared to be pulling Challoner's arms off all the way as usual, and Stanton shutting up soon after en tering the straight, she came out and won in a canter amidst the usual cheering that now attends upon the second Beeswing, whenever she appears, from John o'Groat'e house to the Land's End. After Damascus had won the Members' Plate, and been sold to Mr. Gulby for 115 guineas, a field of eleven were telegraphed for the Stand liandic'p, front which number Birefiecler was naturally selected as favourite, though report spoke well of Zephyr's chance, a filly from Joseph Dawson's stable. After going about half the distance Tomfoolery fell, bringing with hint Zara, Quicksand, Omer, and Zephyr, and leaving the lead to Birdliuder, who, with only Practitioner nets hint, won in a canter by two lengths. Only the five placed pat sed the post, and a great crowd collecting round the site of the disaster, it became known that the five joikejs were all more or less injured. Herbert was insensible, and Sharp and Sayers severely shaken and unable to stand. The lat ter was carried into the weighing-room, and it was feared at liret that his leg was broken, but upon surgical examination it was pronounced to be a severe contusion of the knee. lie 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 the course was densely thronged at that point, Cep!. Sharp and Mr Bevill, on Disappointment and Bolero. proceeded to the mile post to start for the last race, the Scurry, and a whole chapter of mistakes occurred from their so doing. In the first place, they were not started by the proper starter, but, by their own account, both agreed to accept the services of Mr M‘George's ileg-bearer, and started by him they accord ingly were. On coming to the crowd, Captain Sharp, who was leading, pulled up, but Mr Bevill managed to force a way somehow through it, and coming on alone so passed the chair, weighed in, find claimed to 1,0 the winner. The odds had been 5 to 4 on Bolero, and of course there was great confusion and disputing at this unsatistactory re. ult., Au objection wits raised on the p rrt Sharp, and Mr Payne, the only steward then present, declining to go into it by himself, there scented nothing more to be done. But the owner of Disappointment (on the supposition, wo presume, that the first start was not a valid one) returned to the post, end Mr Duval having left, walked over, had his number hoisted by the judge, and also went through the ceremony of weighing in. So there ate two winners of the Scurry, and a pretty tangled skein for the stewards to unravel. Tho races at Leicester call for no particular remark. The Doncaster Meeting commences tomorrow. Will Agnes ought to credit Joha Osborne with the Filly Stakes, unless some unforseen dark one should turn up, which is not at all likely. The Champagne Stakes has Gardevisuro and Puritan engaged, and unless Barbarossa, of whom I have heard glowing accounts, should defeat public form, the former should have no dif f iculty in placing tho Stakes to the credit of Mr Sutton. The Great Yorkshire Handicap, although it has a very good 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 aro East Lancashire, Revolver, and Finesse. No horse could bo in finer condition than Lord St. Vincent's. One of the trio ougyhrtotboapbuilliltyth, rboeugwho,nanbdy if I stood alone on ono it would be EAST LANCASHI RE . 13 Th ro e wn G B la r s e g a o d w , and of th Stakes will, ein all 27 left in for the Revival Plate, Attraction and Lady Clifdm appear the most formidable. Tho other events I shall refer to when I give toy final se • lotion for the St. Leger to-worrow. A FRESH MAN. AT LABT.—The first volume of the Emperor Napoleon's long -expected "Life of Cat "is announced positively to appear in November or December next. The sea 'ad volume will appear a month or six weeks after the first, and the concluding volumes will then appear at shot intervals, The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the following as the almosphetie state of Europe yesterday : " The barometer is slightly rising on the centre of Europe, but is falling in the North, at Naiin, and on the Baltic; the high latitudes aro therefore about to be again traversed by rough weather. In the South of Spain and of Portugal the fall is stow, but the downward movement extends fs far as the Bay of Biscay. The probability, th erefore, is that fresh st orms w ill soon reac h our coas ts. The sky is cloudy or rainy in the West and North of Europe."
