From the events of the last few days, a great moral lesson may be drawn. Let us, as men possessing common prudence, take warning from the distractions consequent on change, and by so guiding our every action render it in all absolute essentials perfectly unnecessary. But it may be said—from the peculiar construction of the human mind, and from the progressive action of the times —change is abso lute. This we readily allow in consequences, but where fundamen tal principles are correct, change is needless, although we grant the modes of carrying them out may. vary. Take, for instance, the fundamental principles 'upon which E. MOSES and SON have established, carried on, and still maintain their gigantic project of still becoming Universal Tailors, Hatters, Hcsiers, Boot and Shoemakers, and General Outfitters; and when their unbounded success is considered (a success which has had no limit except that which time itself invincibly opposes, and which limit lime itself will ultimately remove), surely, as far as E. MOSES and SON are conce; ned change is needless. The fundamental prin ciples up m which E. MOSES and SON started, were to bring large capital and sound judgment into the markets, and so to buy at the cheapest rate; to m•ike enormous sales and no bad debts, and so to sell at the cheapest rates ; to employ first rate talent in all the ope rative departments, and so to gain and keep an immense connexion; and should perchance a caprice supervene, without argument, meet It by exchanging the purchase, or should circumstances require a return of money, without quibble or equivocation to afford a ready compliance. Surely, then, as far as E. MOSES and SON are con cerned—change is needless. As Tailors, that E. MOI4ES and SON have carried out their prin ciples, the immense mass of their supporters, who are as regular in their patronage as the seasons in their approach, amply prove. Surely, then. with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. As Hatters, they have studied every combination of use and beauty, and rendered a good Nat attainable by everybody. Surely, then, as Hatters, with E. MOSES and SON —change is needless. As Boot-makers, E. MOSES and SON have powerfully, perma nently, and deservedly got the length of the foot of the public at large, as they have accomplished what has never been before at tempted ; they have culled from England and from France the choicest products of the trade, and by a happy union, have produced a boot, the world's admiration and the world's envy. As Beot makers, then, w th E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. But all honour to the ladies and honour to those who study their comforts, their pleasures. Who so eminently has done this as E. MOSES and SON ? Come, then, judge for yourselves; let there be no vain-glorious boasting ; crown them with the w• eath of Fame made trebly t melons by your touch; see their Riding Habits, their Shawls, their Hosiery, their Mantles, their immense stock of Furs, the tribute of all climes; notice that by exertion, by industry, by skill, and by moderation in price, that they have placed them within the reach of all ; and then you will unhesitatingly declare, that, as ladles' men so far as E. MOSES and SON are concerned—change is needless. Change, then, is needless, because the principles which have placed E. MOSES and SON in the proud, the enviable position they occupy, shall be still continuel to keep them there ; and, as it has been ably sai.;, that the best sense is common sense, which the pub lic possesses in abundance, is it matter for surprise that it is uni versally procl imed, loudly and strongly, that so far as the patron age extended to E. MOSES and SON —change is needless.

The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re newal of premium. By granting Assurances to Passengers only. and excluding all those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than is offered by any existing company. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.

SPORTING NOTES; No. XVIII. THE DONCASTER SPRING MEETING. " Throw up a straw, and you'll see which way the wind blows."— Old Proverb. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sts,—Rather too late yesterday evening for publishing, I discovered (what I remarked was dubious in Note No. 18 in the morning) that the British Yeoman was not likely to figure in the Derby Steeplechase; and; I also find that the Tipperary Boy is by no manner of means a certain runner; this leaves " the money" mare, Miss Collingwood, at the top of the tree in my estimation, with Trust-me-not in the second place, and Ben Lomond in the third; but, as this notice will be almost too late for any useful purpose, appearing in print, as it will do, about the same time as the race is being run (halt-past three), I will not advert to it any further; it may, however, be useful to some of the " late birds" in the market, and may ease the minds of some of the highly nervous dabblers in their uncertainties; uncertainties i'faith ! they are the greatest we have in more than the common sporting acceptation of the word, except to certain select parties who get up those queer caprioskies that have been so numerous this winter, and which will eventually lead to the downfall of steeplechasing, for the public running of the majority of the animals engaged in these races is no criterion whatever to judge by, money, money, and only money being the true criteria! as witness the Vain Hope, and other instances too numerous to mentiOn ; unlike the flat-race department, where the horses and the stakes are on the whole more valuable, and the proprietors of the animals engaged men who boast of a higher standard of honour; though, mark you, I do not say but what there are as honourable men in the steeplechasing, as there is in the flat-racing department of the turf, but on the whole, they are not of that high caste, either horses or men, in two necessary requisites which I need not name, in the former as they are in the latter department of the sport ing world. There are, of course, exceptions to all rules, and I do not intend to particularize.

REPORTS OF CASES ADJUDICATED ',IN THE SEVERAL COURTS OF THE COM MISSIONERS IN BAAKRUPTCY, under the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act of 1849. Vol. I.—Part I. By J. W. M. Fonblanque, Est., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. London : Butter worths, Fleet-street; Dublin : Hodges and Smith, Graf ton-street. The vast importance of a well-regulated and wisely administered code of bankruptcy in a commercial cou ntry is now f u lly recogn i ze d . I t i s essen ti a l th a t every ; per son about embarking in trade should fully understand the course which he must pursue in all his dealings and transactions with his fellow-men. As a dealer and chapman, he is invested with a new character. He gains facilities for obtaining credit—the very life,- blood of trade—that are altogether wanting to a private individual. The bills to which he may be a party, whe ther as drawer or acceptor, are supposed invariably to represent legitimate transactions relating to his business, which make them pass readily from hand to hand, until they arrive at maturity. His occupation or calling, which renders him liable to the bankrupt laws, is the stamp or imprimatur which renders current that which might not possess the intrinsic value of other similar documents, which would be summarily 'ejected by any banker. He is thus enabled to carry on his business fairly and profitably, without the drawbacks or annoy ances that would otherwise be inevitable : the way to fortune is opened to him, and " confidence" is the magic key that opens the fastenings of the gate at the very threshold of his career. But in proportion to the incalculable advantages thus afforded, he is required to observe a strict and unblemished in tegrity. He must never for a moment deviate from the strict path of duty, never violate a single maxim of commercial ethics. He may be unfortunate, without any error on his own part; his reasonable expectations may be disappointed, losses may be incurred of such magnitude that he may be unable to meet his own liabi lities, but he can never be ruined so long as he preserves his " good name." With the reputation of an honest man, he will find himself exonerated from his encum brances, and enabled to enter honourably on a new ca reer, in which ho will find himself supported by former friends and correspondents, who will evince an anxiety to renew business transactions with one who has passed unscathed through the stringent ordeal to which he has been exposed in seeking for his certificate. Under these circumstances, an accurate knowledge of the principles on which the several Commissioners act, who so ably and impartially administer the law, should be closely studied. It should be ascertained what are re garded as commercial delinquencies, to be visited with the censure of the Court, and which must leave a stain on the future character, and also what are the steps that should be adopted in those crises which are of con stant recurrence, and which a man must be fortunate, indeed, if he can pass through life without repeatedly encountering. A commercial man, however high his position, can never be certain that reverses may not oc cur; and he should, in all his transactions, so conduct himself that the entire matter may be laid bare and closely scrutinised, without danger of censure or re proach. And the requisite knowledge he can only obtain by an attentive perusal and mature consideration of the reports of the adjudged cases in bankruptcy. We, therefore, anticipate for the excellent work now under notice a far more extensive circulation than usually at tends " a law book." It will not be restricted to legal practitioners, but will have a wider circle of readers, as it will be as cordially welcomed by hankers, merchants, and traders, as by the profession itself. The learned reporter shows himself to be in every respect qualified for the arduous task he has undertaken; we say " the arduous tusk" advisedly, for none who have not tried their hand at what to the uninitiated may seem per fectly simple and easy of accomplishment, can tell the difficulties that await the colluter of authorised reports, which will be adopted and recognised as of weight and authority by the Court and the prac titioners. The greatest care must be taken to exclude all superfluous matter, to state nothing that is not really of importance, and at the same time to insert every point or matter which could elucidate the principle to be esta blished. In these respects Mr. Fonblanque has emi nently succeeded. There is not a single- case reported which will not be valuable as a precedent, or whieh could safely be omitted. He is clear and perspicuous, telling distinctly everything that should be known to understand fully the grounds of the decision, and at the same time using no surplusage. The act of book making is totally disregarded by the learned gentleman. There is no amplification, on the contrary, he has com pressed his abunda-Jt materials within the narrowest li mite. What, for in: truce, can be more concise than the de cision in "He Smart ?" Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque says —‘. It is not sufficient that there should be books; they must be propel ly kept and balanced from time to time, so that at any tame the real state of the trader's accounts may at once appear." One of the most important rules to be observed by a dealer is thus established in a few lines.

JOSEPH 11. ANI) THE JESUITS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The following extracts tram a letter written in 1773, by Joseph 11. of Austria to Count d'.Aranda, show the opinions entertained by that energetic Monarch respecting the disciples of Lo ola : Clement XIV. has acquired immortal g,lory in banishing the Jesuits from the earth. Before those seides of apostacy were known in Germany, religion was to the people a source of real felicity : the Jesuits have made it the instrument of their own ambition, and the mantle of their shameful projects. " The intolerance of the Jesuits has drawn on Germany the calamity of a thirty years' war: their principles de prived Henry IV. of France of his throne and his life, and they were the authors of the atrocious revocation of the edict of Nantes. " Their influence over the house of Hapsburg is but too well known. . "if I can hate, I execrate this race of men, who persecuted Fenelon—who gave birth to the In Cana Domiai'— and who have rendered Rome so despicable. Adieu " Josarkr." Afterwards, on his accession to the implial diadem, he wrete Choiseul, in December, 1780— " The influence which the priests have exercised until now an my mother's government shall also be the special object of my reforms. Ido not iile those men who, entrusted exclusively with the cares of our salvation, move so actively in the mediation of our worldly affairs." I am, Sir, yours, &c., March 10, 1851. SSI✓CTATOR. FOREIGN ARRIVALS FOR THE EXHIBITION -The latest importations from abroad have included the following numerous and large arrivals for the great Exhibition, some of which, from their extent and the country of supply, are of considerable interest.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0U01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Offilce will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, ftom time to tier e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Ellock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englanf.. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 260/.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of Stay, 1850, was more than double the number issued In the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 12t, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Bzixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,920/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,991/. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. lls. 103. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderablo amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and futare prospects.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. CDVMODORE MA.RTI.V3 FRIGATE SQUADRON. Commodore Martin, with the frigate Squadron, left Liebon on Frid morninv, February 28, on a cruise. The squadron consisted of-the Leander, 50, Captain Dacres, with the com modore's red pendant; Indefatigable, SP, Captain F--mart, ; the Phaeton, 51', Captain G. Elliot ; the Arethusa, 50, Captaii; Symonds; the Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, Cap tain Halsted; and the Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Cap tain Warden. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Robinson ; and the Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, were left behind—the former in consequence of some defects in her machinery requiring repair. had broken the coupling of her screwshaft. The Arrogant, before she returned to Ports mouth, was very much infest d with rate, and great exer tions were made by her Majesty's rat-catcher to destroy them, but without effect. The squadron would have started on the 25th, but it blew a very heavy gale, causing such consi lerable surf on the bar outside, that it was not deemed advisable to move. On the 26th the ships unmoored, but did not quit until the 28th, as above stated. The cruise, it is reported, will extend so far as Madeira, and the ships will be absent for about a month. The seamen and the marine artillery belonging to the Hogue, 60 gun ship, Captain Macdougall, and the Ajax, 60, screw flag-ship, Captain Quin, together with the naval ap prentices, under their respective captains and other officers, were landed on Friday at Queenstown, and in the presence of Rear-Admiral Dickson, the Commander-in-Chief, were put through the various exercises with field-pieces, small arms, &c., in which they excelled to the satisfaction of the Gallant Port Admiral. Birkenhead, troop-steamer, Master-Commander Penn, and Hercules stare-ship, Master- Commander Fulton, arrived at Gibraltar on the 4th of March. Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Jones, with her tender, Bloodhound steam-vessel, put into Lisbon on the 27th ult., and would leave for the coast of Africa in the course of four or five days. They had hard weather in the Bay of Biscay, and the Sampson took her tender in tow, but this did not answer, as every hawser was carried away, and the bows of the ship were almost torn out. Poiersmourn, MAncir 10.—The Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour, K.C.8., appointed to succeed Earl Dundonald on the West India and North American station, was paid advance this day by Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C.B. She will re-hoist Sir Francis's flag to-morrow, and sail on Wed nesday. The Penelope, 22, Captain Lyster, was taken out of the steamer basin to-day. She will be removed under the shears to be masted as soon as the Powerful, 84, is placed in ordinary. PLYMOUTH, MARCH B.—Letters received yesterday from the Mediterranean state that her Majtdity r s" ship Caledonia, ID, Captain T. W. Carter, was to sail this day, the Bth, from Malta for Plymouth, to be paid off. The offi-ers and crew of the brig Kingfisher were paid off to-day at the Pay-office in the dockyard, and her sea men gunners sailed in the Avon steamer for Portsmouth this afternoon. The Vulcan and Acheron steamers are hourly expected. The steam -ship Megicienne is ordered to cruise seven days in the Channel to try her ra e of sailing. SUNDAY, 5 nat. There is no indication of the approach of the Cape mail packet Bosphorus, hourly expected here for some days past. It is possible that she may have been detained for urgent purposes by the Governor, Sir H. Smith. FALMOUTH, blaacn 9. Her Majesty's packet Peterel, Lieutenant Thomas Creser commander, has this morning ar rived from Rio de Janeiro with the Brazil mails, which port she left on the 12th of January. She brings about 6,0001. on freight, and Senhor Dionysius Vergo and a miner as pas sengers. The intelligence brought by this packet has been completely anticipated by the arrival of the Seraphina at Liverpool from Pernambuco, bringing four days' later dates from Rio do Janeiro. The Peterel has experienced very severe weather on the passage. HER MAJESTY'S SIIIP IMPREGNABLE.—SinCe our last publication three f the officers of the flag-ship have been superseded, in consequence of having served the usual period of three years. First-Lieutenant Harry T. Veitch is to be succeeded by Lieut. R. B. Miller; Lieut. Spencer H. Pickard by Lieut. F. llawkins ; and Paymaster and Purser James Ozzard by Mr. Thomas Shanks, formerly of the vanguard. The first otlicer we have named, Lieut. Harry T. Veitch, entered the service in 1830, and from that time (with the ex ception of two months) to the present he had been most most actively employed. We happen to know that he has earned the good opinion and warmest approbation of every officer under whom he has served—among them the late respected Admiral Sir Charles Paget, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, Cap tains Sir Richard Grant, S r Henry J. L eke, Captain Lawrence, Captain A. Milne, and others of high standing in the service. D„.ring th three past years Lieutenant Veitch has evinced the greatest zeal in training the naval appren tices on board t ,, e Impregnable, and keeping that fine ship in the best 1:e ssibll order and discipline, by carrying out effectually the Admiralty instructiets and three of his gal lant Captain. As the son f a meritor out veteran, who at tai ed the rank of Post-f7aptain entirely by arduous services as First-Lieutenant of frigates during the late war, and as an officer who has given universal satisfacti n to his superiors, we venture to hope that the First Lord of the Admiralty will look favourably on his claims, ant grant him that pr, motion which his active and fa thful services so eminently deserve.— vonport Independent. MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF THE LONDON DISTRICT. A meeting of the Roman Catholics of the London dis trict was held at one o'cleck yesterday, at the Freema sons' Tavern, Great Queen -street.

Mr. O'Neill, Mr. Moore, M.P., and Mr. Eneas Macdonell. Mr. Howard occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that the object of the meeting was to defend their own cause and rights, now assailed by the Government; and he was sure that in doing so they would do so with temper and moderation. He con gratulated them on the alterations which had been made in the Bill of the Government, but it still contained the principle of persecution, and therefore it was their duty to persevere in their efforts, and he was sure that in another month the Bill would be consigned to oblivion. Mr. AMHERST read letters from Lord Petre and other Roman Catholics, excusing their abse nce from the meeting. Mr. Sergeant Slat proposed the first resolution, which consisted of two pa rts ; it declared reverence thev ereedncuetyof and obedience to the Pope a nd Bisho p s to be of a purely the i spiritual rthey na expressedt Sovereign;ure a w nd ithinou theirt thinetes resolutionerefeorni and ri g ht t o h ave d interferin g with of the resolu tion it n the protestfre e sxerc e against s . and resolu tions in furtherance of that ob j ect would b e proposed exercise of :I l i r o fthe religion.

Several resolutions protesting against the Bill were then proposed and unanimously agreed to, the last of which was the following, moved by Mr. ENEAS MAC DONNELL:—" That, while we conscientiously resist enactments which we know to be injurious and un warranted, we are at the same time perfectly willing to make large allowances for the adverse courses of others, who, either influenced by erroneous impressions or sud denly excited by authoritative appeals, have unjustly assailed our sentiments, practices, and objects; and we wish that the mutual interchange of Christian charity, social confidence, and friendly neighbourhood will ere long be established between us and our Protestant fel ' low-subjects of all classes and denominations, solemnly pledging ourselves, as we now do, that no effort shall be wanting on our part to effect that happy consummation." The meeting then separated. ....---.

It is a true saying and a trite one, "Throw up a straw, and you'll see which way the wind blows ; " it is exemplified by the late moves in the betting world. There are certain persons in that particular sphere, whom, for the nonce, I will call the straws, though by no means "men of straw," by fol lowing whose speculations you may discover which way the winning wind blows; at least, as they are the representa tives of the various stables, their investments show you which is THE horse destined to run for the small change of the persons connected with the particular LOT they repre sent, which is going a long way towards discovering the winner; and, singular to say, most of these ambassadors commence their operations in the City, at the West End, or, in fact, anywhere but at Tattersall's ; consequently, it very often happens that THE horse of the stable for a particular stake, is in the betting in the City sometimes a week, occasionally a to:tnight bef e it is heard of at "The Corner." It is in consequence of this hat I sha'l and do animadvert occasionally upon the Betting Market, as ihe information must prove valuable to c , untry if not to town readers. By referring to sever2l of my early Notes this year, it will be found that the majority of the animals in the marke s for the - p'ing Handicaps made their &Lilts in the City. One of the princ;pal moves since I last touched upon the subject is the advance of Le gerdermain for he Northamptonshire Stakes, from twenties, at which price it was backed f r a large stake some time since in the City, to seven to I, taken freely at " The Corner" yesterday ; Cocktxit, then in force at 8 to 1, has receded to twelves, and is of et ed against at that price ; Cloth worker is in fore at fi'te-ns ; and St. Rosal a from 20 has sprung to 12 to 1; The Swindler and Nutmeg are occasionally inquired after, and backed at '2O; nothing else in much request I think Legerdemain and ,:;utmeg are worthy of support, and that The John O'Gaunt colt (whom Mr. tiorris had better give a name to, as his pedigree is somewhat lengthy, say Duke of Lancaster) is well worth a long shot. One of my fancy nags k enmus) is absolutely first favourite for the Metropolitan at 12 to 1, the other two (Vampyre and Fstafette) are quoted 20 to 1 each ; Raby is firm at 12, Gil lyflower and Sunrise 15, and Vatican (who'll run well) and Sauter-la-Coupe at - 0 to 1. For the Newmarket Handicap, again we have a fancy City horse (Recruit), who has suddenly sprang from the outside division to the front, more than 6 to 1 being diffi cult to obtain ; The Cutler is quoted 12 to 1, and Quasimodo 16 to I. Grecian still remains premier for the 2,000 Guineas at 11 to lo agst the field ; Newminster (who will give him his work to do) being backed eagerly at s to 1; Mountain Sylph colt at the same price. Bee Hunter, backed at 6 to 4 for the Port Stakes, will, it is said, bowl the others over easily. For the Chester Cup, Rhesus once more is firm at 10 to 1; The Italian was backed yesterday for a hundred at 40 ; Wallflower is quoted at the same figure; Haricot, Montague, and the Black Doctor at 25 to I ; Lady Evelyn, steady at the earns figure, and quite good enough, in my, opinion, to beat the lot; Nancy 25 to 30 to 1; Seaman (said to be a good thing) at the last-named price; The Knight of Avenel, after rising again to twenty-five's, has disappeared, forties being refused; Sir Richard and Woolwich are marked 50; and Duc-an-Durras and the Prior of Lanercost 66 to 1 each. The field is very strong; with the exception of Lady Evelyn I shall plunge among the fifties and sixty-sixes to find the first three or four in the race. The Derby, with one or two ex ceptions, remains in statu quo. The Prime Minister is, as he ought to be, premier, at 5 to 1; Grecian at the same figure as before, 6 to 1; the Squire's colt in request at 11 ; New minster at 12 ; The Marlboro' Buck, 25 ; Storm (whom 1 bad given up as a bad spec, on account of his pins, is doing fair work again) 30 ; Balsamo and Confessor (occasionally) at 40; Ariosto, same price taken eagerly, and , ca n it be believed, several parties are actually nibbling with g reat zest at hun dreds about that misnamed animal Lightfoot. on Thursday afternoon, with the H urdle Race, The Doncaster Spring Meeting commences attwhalo f m -p i as les t , o f n o e r which nearly the whole of the acce Ptad:ces t e Queens l and srt, Wnd. ing Psyche, 9st 41b; Tally-ho, t places; and, as I cannot this four will occupy the forenws Wharfdale Maid, list each ; aodnat think it very possible oes at present, I must take discover which way a lace th e m thus— the running for my guide an- p 1 t h e money g TALLYO PSYCHE ••• Wharfdale Maid and Little Queen well up.
