HO.) The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable Rates of Preinitun for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. 'Ube difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion rrernium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so ;rent. that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. , _ _ It has hoen toungl 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 Preinalm for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n, or systematically ap plied. Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this ouestion, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Aver +ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal , sis of its own experience, from time to tie 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 he made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be ;nada to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. . _ _ Insurances against Coss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Pr..perty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

ROWLNNDS' AUCASSAR OIL is justly renowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues, in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the human hair. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in numerous instances wh,rein otaer remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS' aucAssmt OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by effecting a complete. restoration of beautiful hair. In the growth of whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing in its stimalative operation. For children it is especially recom mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine comb unnecessary.

Taking into considers lion the smallness of this sum, and the report of tse Ll , 7o , olltqatitS on the capital account, the direct i ors do not recommend a dividend on the Eastern Counties Conso tidated Stock fyr this half-year.. They have also ascer tained that various sums of meney, beyond thorinalluded to in :he last report, were :::ceived by Mr. Duncan, and applied to his own purposes. As this matter is in the hands of Hessre.. Crowder and ISisynard, under whose slviee the directorsare acting, they must refrain from making further observations respecting it; but they re- . for the proprietors to the facts brought out by the an, countants, which indicate the state of their affairs when they were committed to the hands of the present board. The sum of 8,25Q/.,95. 3d. expended in making two-antira half miles of Tailway at Colchester, has long beentont standing, not being recoverable, and the directOrshave to recommend that it be charged. to capital. • Fractions of shares acoraing from the Northern and Eastern bonus are stated at 10,1061. 17s. 81, but are at present worth, only 2,730/. The difference, namely,. 7,4761. 17s. ad., must be charged to capital, or the whole' amount can celled. The directors submit to you that the following shares be declared fotfeiteil for non-payment of.calls, namely--4,219 shares York Extension scrip, amount-. /IT to '42;r9OL, on 9,410 L have been . paid ; the calls - are overdue since 1847:: Also 150 Converted York Extension scrip shares, amounting to 750/., on which 300/. have been paid, the calls on whrch are also due since 1847. The directors have made arrangements with the East and West India Dock Company for a communication with the import basin of the East India Docks. The rails along the wharf will be laid by the Dock Company. During the last session of Parliament powers were obtained, by means of which access will be obtained to the West India Docks, to the new cattle-market at Islington, and to the London and North-Western Railways at Camden-town, so that live stock and goods may be transferred from one rail way to the other without change of carriages, The trade of Lowestoft continues to increase. It is to be hoped that the pending arrangements with the Eastern Union and Norfolk companies will shortly add the town and port of Harwich to the list of your terminal stations, and open a trade to Holland and the ports of western Ger many, es Lowestoft is now doing to Denmark and the Elbe. The importance of Harwich as a seaport and pas senger station has long been recognized. The report of the locomotive superintendent shows that, although the reduction of the working expenses has been retarded by the strike of the men, yet there is every prospect of its being steadily carried into effect, witnout any increase of labour, or any interference with the comforts or in 'ependenco ef the people employed. The majority of the new hands have been found skilful and trustworthy, and they are becoming well acquainted with the line of rail way; several of the old hands have acknowledged their errors, and been permitted to return to their duty." Gunner—Stephen Slade, to be acting.. Commander Henderson, who has lately retired from active service as master attendant of Devonport Dock yard, has been almost constantly employed for 44 years, having first entered the reeeelliNeePeiee with his friend Captain Henderson, in the Prince of Wales; ' 2O gad ship. In the navy he,was actively employed at the end of the late war in the North-Sea and Baltic; he has been 29 years a master, and of that period has been only ten months on half-pay. In fact, he may be said to'have been always serving, and that under several distinguished officers, from all of whom he has the most gratifying testimonials, accompanied from some by tokens of value—viz., from the late Captain Sir S. Chambers, Captain Sandom, his Excellency Sir Lionel Smith (Governor of Barbadoes), while under his orders in command of the Colombia steamer, and who in terested himself much at the Horse Guards in favour of Commander Henderson; and, lastly, from Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, But., G.C.8.. the present Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean. At the calamitous fire in Devonport Dockyard, on Sun day, September 28, 1840, he received, through the late Admiral Warren, the thanks of the 'Admiralty, fur the prompt assistance rendered on that occasion, as being the first on shore, with all his crew-130 men from the Ven geance, then under his orders, and on the point of sailing to Portsmouth. No officer has ever navigated so many ships of all classes, to and from Scotland, Liverpool, Wales, Plymouth, Portsmouth, and all the eastern ports, at all seasons of the year, frequently very indifferently manned, and never met with a single accident. No pilot was ever employed on these occasions but for out and in of harbours. Lastly, he has finished his naval services as master attendant of Devonport Dockyard for nearly tive years, during which he has frequently had the whole charge of the establishment as acting superintendena Captain Sir E. Home is much better, and expected to join his ship, the Calliope, 26, early this week.

WOOLIVICII, FEB. 22.—The Banshee mail steam packet, Lieutenant-Commander Jalnes Hosken, went down the river on Friday to trjr her speed at the measured mile in Sea It..,ach, having tried her engines on the previous day, and on an iliVerage of six. runs, three down and three up. her speoi was ascertained to be 13.953 knots, or 16.077 miles per hour. The Jasper steam-vessel was finished in the engineer department on the 14th inst. The Teaser steam-vessel was taken out of the basin and into dock to-day, to be made ready for commission for further service on the coast of Africa.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. The report of the directors to the twenty-ninth half yearly meeting of the shareholder London Tavern, on Thursday , the 27th of February, at 0 , to be held at the one o'clock, contains the following points:— " The half-year which has now terminated has been y to the directors. The Great Northern Railway bei n g n ow open to London both one of great difficulty and anxiety for goods and passengers, and the branch line from Ilitchin to Royston being now c ompleted and at - work, rhaveende rendered abstractedit necessary a portion of reduceof yotuhe faresrt r a ffi c, and have also in that quarter. The short agreement with t he Eas tern Union hallway Cm by which conside rable loss has been susta ined, whils t the unsatisfactory o p any,, competition nov about with to t h active compan y, .. state of the working agree ment wi th the Norfolk Com pany effec t u a li development of sta. ncPs of em barrassment in which the East An glian and Newmarket traffi c hills that tended direction, to andt the h e ei ci r cu mstances Companies were placed have also been d etr i menta l to your interests; meanwhile the low prices of produce in the agricultural districts traversed by the Eastern Counties Railway have not only discouraged persons from travelling, but h ave induced the passengers to travel at the cheapest fares, although at the same time the manufacturing districts have been prospering, and the tra ffi c on their rai lwa y s increasing, to well as that on other metropolitan lines. The strike of the engine-drivers and firemen, which took At r•ace just before the close of the last half-year, has also had a serious effect in decreasing the traffic, and increasing the charges against revenue, from the great precautions thereby rendered necessary, and from other hea v y ~,p , ,,,,,,, caused by the employment of new hands. Toe East Anglian and the Newmarket lines may f rom their posi tion be regarded as the natural allies of this company. Provision has long since been made at Cambridge for the expected branch from the Newmarket line, and a station actually erected by a nticipation at your expense to receive the passengers it may bring. The East Anglican line is a continuation of your railway from Ely, which is the direct road from London to Lynn, and it can obvi ously he worked to most advantege in continuation wit') the Eastern Counties Railway. The b writ has again underralr , n to work the N e% eratket Railway en terms which barely cover the coot. The lireetor s are given to understand that a waking tagre'n-" 1 dettinatntd to the interests of this companY has been entered into by East Anglian Railway with the Great Northern Rail way, and will be submitted to the Dist Anglian proprie tors on the 27th instant for confirmation. The works on your tShelford and Shepreth branch will be com pleted and the line open for traffic early in Julio, It will be the duty of yottr (Erectors to endeavo ur to mt i r , such arrangements with the Great Northern C om p an y as shall prot (c t your interests, and prevent, as far as may be practicable, the loss which both companies must sustain f:om endue competition. Negotiations are now pending for these objects, and also for the amicable interchange of traffic at other points where the two rail ways come in confect. The receipts for the half-year YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The report of the directors of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, to be presented to the share holders at the half-yearly general meeting, to bs held in York on Friday next, states that there has been an in cr,93Se of 167,610 in the number of passengers upon the lin. as compared with the corresponding halt-year in 1849, and an increase of 32,4381. 18s. 4d. in the revenue as compared with that of the same period in 1849. The total revenue for the half-year ending 31st December, was 382,7261. 16s. 3d. The following are the most important points contained in the repot t:— . _ _ "It will also be observed that no interest is charged against capital, but that the whole amount of interest, guaranteed dividend, and other current charges, is de frayed out of the revenue. The shareholders are aware , hat the fund for the renewal of the permanent way for the years 1849 and 1850 was provided from the 50,000/. repaid by Mr. Hudson, and they must bear in mind that a charge for that purpose will appear in future years to the debit of the revenue; but if the traffic continues to increase, this additional pay ment can easily be provided for. The directors have co-operated, to the extent of their power, with the directors of those companies with which they are connected, or with which they might be brought into rivalry, in effecting amicable traffic arrangements, and they are happy to inform the shareholdere, that with altn , at all the companies bud] arrangements are nearly perfected. The revenue account shows that, after paying the'dividend oneturguaratftlrd shares, and interest upon the Great North of England and other debentures, the net divisible balance, including 2 289/. 125. 10d. brought forward from the last half-year, amounts to 117,036/ 51... 7d., out of which the directors recommend that a divi dend be declared at the rate of Si. 10 , ?, psr cent. per annum, which will amount to 105,526/. 193. 7d., and will leave a balance of 11,509/. 65., to be carried to the credit of the ensuing bah-year. The amount received on ar • rears of calls is small; bat the directors confidently expect that very little, if any, loss will ultimately be sustained by the company under this head. The arrangements with Mr. Hudson, sanctioned by the proprietors on the Bth January, 1850, have been carried into effect, though not in sufficient time to permit the sum received from him to appear in the present account. The payment of the 50,0001. due from him was reported to the last meeting; and with regard to the 2,345 Sunderland Dock shares, for which he was respon sible to this company, he has produced receipts from the Dock Company in terms of the agreement for 15,000/., and paid the sum of 26,037/. 10.5., together with interest up to the time of payment. The company therefore now hold 3,000 shares in the Sunderland Docks of 25/, each, fully paid up, and will receive from the Dock Com pany intsrest on the 7,500/., paid in advance, until the final call for that amount shall bo made. All the coals conveyed fur shipment along the Durham and Sunder. land Railway are now shipped in these docks, tho direc tors of which have just published a report, giving a fa vourable view of its future prospects. The contract for the Pensher branch provisionally entered into with Messrs. Rush and Lawton has been confirmed, and the works have been begun. The settlement with the pro prietors of the Great North of England Railway is now virtually completed. Notwithstanding the large amount returned in compliance with the Act of Parliament ou rescinded the directors have been enabled to pur chase a further amount of the Great North of England Company's Stock equal at par value to 198,871/. 10s., making in all 1,091,134/. purchased and cancelled up to the 31st of December last. They also, under thepsvers of the Act, entered into communication with the various shareholders of the Great North of England Railway, with the view of adjusting the amount of purchase de bentures due in July, 1853, January, 1855, and July, 1856, so as to suit the convenience of this company, This has been successfully accomplished, and there can he no doubt that the discharge of the purchase deben tures at the respective periods will be effected without the slightest embarrassment to the company. The re payment to this account of 78,087/. 10s. from the 350,0001. formerly lent to capital account, has placed a considerable balance in hand, which may be appropriated to buy up the purchase debentures from time to time, according to circumstances. Under the authority granted to them by the last general meeting, the directors have introduced two Bills into Parliament, one for continuing their power of purchasing land, and the eJmpletion of works as to the Bishop Auckland' branch, and the other for connecting the West Durham Railway with the Hart lepool line; both of which have been read a second time." BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD.—The half-yearly meet• ing of the shareholders of this company was held at the offices, in Birmingham, on Satnrday; Mr. F. P. Barlow in the chair. The statement of accounts was laid before the meeting, and received; after which Mr. Aston was re-elected auditor of the company. Mr. Aston said, on going through the accounts he found the books had been kept with regularity; indeed it was impossible that any set of books could have been kept in a more satisfactory manner. The chairman said he might observe, with re ference to the works, that they were progressing as rapidly as possible, and he hoped at their next meeting to have a much more favourable report to make. The whole of the works had been contracted for, and there would not be a moment lost in executing them. He coald not say when they would be finished, but they would be gone on with as soon as possible. There being no other business before the meeting, the proceedings terminated. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHA MPTON, AND D warm— A meeting of the sharehoiders of this company was held at the same office, when the accounts were pre sented and received, after which Mr. [Scott was re elected auditor; and thanks having been voted to the chairman, the proceedings terminated. At the close of the business Mr. Aston wished to know if the chairman could give him any information with respect to the progress of the line, and that gentleman replied, be could only say there would be no time lost in for warding the works. HULL AND SELBY.—The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of thie company, was held on Saturday lust, in the Railway-office, Hull. As the line is leased to tho York and North-Midland Company, with a gua ranteed the proceedings were merely of a pro forma character. Tao report (which has already , 11 , - reared in our columns) was passed; and the retiring &rectors, Mo:isrs. Join Ater and Mavelstou, and Mr. John Bower, the anditor. were re-elected unanimously. RUGBY AND LEAMINGTON.—On Saturday this line was opened for put - :lie trotlic. The Government iespee tor went ever it on Tuesday last, and was perfectly setts iced with its condition.

The Admiralty have now determined that instead of a 00 gun ship, like the Albion, she shall be a powerful two decker, to carry 100 guns, and to be propelled by screw ma chinery of 650-horse power.

Under the favourable influence obtained by the arrival of gold from California, there was a much better supply of money offering on Saturday and to-day, and in many instancys the rates for first-class short paper were a trill, lower. Foreign exchanges are rather lower, although there has been an increased demand, in consequence of there being no Liverpool steamer advertised to leave this port next week, The bulk of transactions have been at the following rates:—London, 10911 to 110; Paris, 5 111 to 5.134; Amsterdam, 41 to 414; Ilamburgh, 36i to 36k; Bremen, 794 to 79k.

STAFFORD, SATURDAY. — The High Sheriff, Jan Barker, Esq., having fixed the nomination for this day (Saturday), at ten o'clock the doors of the Shire-hull were thrown open. and a highly-respectable and nume rous boly of freeholders assembled to take part in the proceedings. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, Tha Hon. hind Rev. J. C. TALBOT came forward and nominated Mr. Smith Child as a lit and proper person to represent the northern division of the county of Staf ford in the Commons House of Parliament.—(Cheers.) Ths Hon. Mr. JERVIS seconded the nomination. The lllau SHERIFF asked if there was any other can didate to be proposed, and, there being no reply, ho de clared that Mr. Smith Child was duly elected. This announcement was received with general cheering. The return having been signed, Mr. CHILD, on presenting himself, was most enthu siastiedly cheered. The Hon. Gentleman proceeded to say that he appeared before them as the advocate of Conservative principles—(Cheers)—principles which they would allow him to say were hereditary in his fa mily. His opinions had become a little more modified in some respects, and he thought most men did the same as they advanced in life. He . prof. ssed a deep attach ment to those Constitutional principles which preserved in their integrity the three estates of the realm-111A triple combieation, the Queen, Lords, and Cominoes— (Great applatise)—each independent in action, yet una ble, to form one splendid whole—each pursuing its own legitiinete functions, but when combined forming that happy system which seemed in his opinion to be beet suited to the wants, prosperity, and happiness of this great country.—(Cheers.) He retained his attachment to the old Protestant faith, as being. an important prin ciple of the Constitution—that article of political faith which owns a Protestant Sovereign as the alone supreme heed of a Protestant country and a Protestant Church— (Loud cheers)—and he would not admit the interfe rence of any foreign power, whether ecclesiastical or civil, with the Constitution of this land as at present established.—(Loud cheers.) He retained his attach ment to those great institutions which had made this country the envy of all others, and which, while other nations had been torn by revolutions, stood calmly by, not an uninterested spectator, but pursuing her own course in peace. He would, therefore, guard well those principles under which Great Britain bad so long pros pered: he thought it was not wise to be too much given to change.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then pro ceeded to the subject of education, and said he believed that a country to be groat and glorious must have her people instructed, and brought up in habits of religion and virtue.-(Cheers.) They might differ as to the means of education, but while they differed let them re member that the children were growing up men and women; population would not wait for them. He thought in a social and religious point of view that the educe- tion of the people was a matter of the deepest import ance.—(Cheers.) He agreed with Mr. Jervis in think ing that it was the duty of the Legislature to take into consideration the taxation of this country. He thought that the present system was most unfair, and that the taxation of the country might be equalird. He considered the principle on which the income• tax was levied veryun just; it was unfair to the professional mac, whose in come depended upon the pursuit of his engagements, but which ill health might prevent him following; it was unfair to the tradesman, who was subject to vicissitudes , as both of them bad to pay the same rate as a man who possesied a fiscal income arising from realized propetrtry: —(Loud cheers.) There was one way of reducin strict ation upon which most men agreed—exercisiog.seendea b e economy in public matters; and it would t" as fir as your when in Parliament to promote economy possible consistent with the honour of the As he the efficiency of the public service .—(Che ers.) country and not PO much a citizen of had already intimated, be fEngland; and, remem he would protect the world eiss ho was a native wa t a home, bering that charity British industry so as to enable beganat etch man to gain a living t f hoL llo e w .t e e d c , , : e nd of p h l i a s ce or h m im s s k e i l l t l . independent position which a man by the occupation and his family in that right to e xpect from w hich be had a R ish indust r y w an d labour.—(Cheers.) —l%l as a term of wide and loose a cceptation, and numerous branches of it wor e c ar ri ed on in this minty, and he ate; happy and thankful to say, that for the most part in that divi sion o f the county of ,afford, the trades of t h e district were in a prosper; us condition—(Heer, hear) —and long might they continue so to be. But whilo they rejoiced in the prosperity of many of the industrial branches, cculd they shut their oyes to the fact that British farmers were eufFerieg ietluite distress? The distress of the agricultural interest had beets recog nised in the Speech from the Throne upon the opening of Parliament, aid therefore they might rely upon it that it wes no fictitious distress. But, notwithstanding, no measures had been suggested by t h e Government to alleviate that depression. Toe distress of the agricultural interest was like a dark. cloud overhanging the horizon; it rendered the prospect gloomy, which otherwise would have bean bright and eutiuy. He did not wish to raise hopes which possibly ;night not be gratified, or 1114 he I • /// ..61.11.11.00 'promises the fulfilment of whith waten, certain.— (Loud cheers.) As a new and indepeu4eht Mearher•of Parliament he asked their indulgence; and if his Lest endeavours were exerted in their behalf hi; hoped they would excuse him, seeing that it was only a want of ability which was required in Um to serve them. He should never forget, winitever his fLrure lot .might - be, the thy on which he was returned Member fur the northern division of Staffordshire.—(Ch( era.) • The Honourable Member again 'pri,sented himtelf; and propoted a vote of thanks to Mr. Barker, the high-, sheriff, for his great urbanity and strict impartiality during the proceedings. The proposition was carried amidst acclamations, and the court brokb op. Shortly .after the conclusion of the picarocdings in the Shire-,hall, the friends of Mr. Smith Child were wasr ! tamed at lurcheon at Swart, the Vi ne , and other hotels in the town. At the Swan, Mr. Child presided, and in the course of the after luncheon proceedings the Rev. W.

A GLANCE AT THE NEWMARKET HANDICAP AX • LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETINti. "No fair illusions artful phantoms, no !" TnomsoN's Castle of Indolence, To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. &A:—The Newmarket Handicap being preceded in • are season by those of Northampton and Epsom, it Da turall enough follows that the running di.played in the l 'races for those ' reta k es may materially alter any p l ans should Glatled, M ouse , Vl at i e , D, previously laid d own on the hauoicepat headquarters ; • tor instance, William the Conqueror, Vi 7 indischgratie, .I,:romedery colt, Leger demain,•thilyflower, Mooitan, Bushranger, or The Cut ler win either the Northampton or Metropolitan Handi caps they are penalized 71be, or for sweeping both, 101 b; the latter feat, however, can only be accensplished by 40Ur—Ot the. nominations—Mouse, Vatican, Brother Truthteller, and colt by John O'Clitunt, tne three-first without the - abed°, ofeeetelieete of attaining any smell distinction, the last named might do it, but the odds sire long against any such affair coming off; with the excep tion of Legerdemain and the colt by John O'Gaunt, the 71b penalty would most effectually put the rest of the abovenamed hors-de-combat; consequently, it is not my intention to present yeti with any "fair illusions or artful phantoms," but to put you into possession of those advantages which judgment or information has made me the proprietor of, in as brief a form as possible. Scott, Kent, Treen, and &ebbing, have each a trio among the acceptances, the great northern stable being represented by Uriel, 5 yrs, Bst 21b; Legerdemain, 5 yrs, 7gt 61b; and Cha m pi on , 5 yrs, 7st; the Goodwood by William the Conqueror. 4 yrs, Bst; Hesse Romberg, 3 yrs, Sat Sib; and Anti. gone, 3 yrs, sst 21b; the Beckhampton by Windisch gratz, 4 yrs, 735 13lb; Clermont, aged, 7st 71b; and Woodlark, 5 yrs, 7st 21b; and the Harnbleton by. The Cutler, 3 yrs, Set 101 b; Knook Knoll, 3 yrs, Sat 71o; and the John O'Gisunt colt, 3 yrs, sst, As it is possible that Legerdemain (who, if well, is intended beyond all doubt for Northampton) may win the Northamptonshire Han dicap, and consequently ba penalized jibs, in which case Uriel would provably be the champion of the stable, I cannot set her down as a starter at present, but should she ran well up at Northampton, or not start there, at 7st 61b, she must be about the mark for this stake. Of Kent's trio commend me to Antigone or Hesse Hom berg, in preference to William the Conqueror. From Treen's to I should select Woodlark; but from Steb bing's I hardly know, the house being divided between L'hc Cutler and The John O'Gaunt c l / 4 .1t, but as the money seems to be to some extent on the former, I sup pose, I must take himicor choice. Not conceiving that Mr. Payne imegines Ghillia can euccezafully carry 11-st tor Ibis event, 1 ,hall take Mouse, 4 yrs, 6st 91b, as the representative of his stable. Woolwich, 5 yrs, Bst 71b, will most probably be reserved tor Chester. Pitsford, 4 yrs, Set 61b, entered for all, accepts only for this out of the four handicaps; his chance is in this instance rather obscure. Vatican, 5 yrs, Bst Sib, will, I tauey, give place to his stable companion The Brother to Trutbteller, 3 yrs, sst 41b. The colt by Dromedary, 4 yrs, 755 121 b, has got a matter of half-a- Iczen pounds too much on his back. Strongbow, 5 yrs, 7at 121 b, is handicapped very fairly; he will be found in leant at the finish of the race. The Knight of Gwynne sad Bushranger, both four years old, , the former at last year was resp ecta bl e; they, however, •ist 51b and the latter at 7st 21b, are a l most on a par, g u, 4 yrs, Est 131 b, M in i mum, 5 yrs, same w th i e th ir m ru o n u a l i t r i ; i weight, and liis,:away, 5 yrs, 7st, seem to me to be held tolerably safe by Quasimodo, 5 yrs, 6,t 101 b. Recruit, 3 yrs, SA 101 b, and Entte-nuns, same age and weight, have to receive so very little of Quirsimocio tend Kise awry for their couple of years that their winning does not look just now very probable on paper, whatever it may do on the day of the race. As tar as I can aecr taid at pie eht, the following list centeins the names of toe intended ;or this sato!, viz.:—Quaeiniodo, Mouse, Pitstere, Brei her to Trutteellt r, mull' or Uriel, At,tigone, Wood.akit, S rot.i4bow, Gvrynte, - Hee uit,liushrang, , r, t7+i. George, K saway, Tophunis, Pne Cutler or John O'Gaunc colt, Entre-nous, Nonde. ,eript, arid Moultan. Holding ticotet; horse (no matt. is ehecher Uriel or Legerdemain) harmless, I shall luck to Qua7iineclo as the ab,ola , e winner! zwsetving the chance of The Knight of Gw) tine, Wow:lurk, Srong. Antig , ne, at.rl oee or two others low in the scale fur future consideration. My opinion as expressed on Friday last concerning the Liverpool events rtizains far the trio4t pact tth.ltered. rho Little Queen is likely to receive some stow. opposition from tee *elsnor of Hold,rness for the Hardie Rsee; and :iiiss'Burns will run better for this stake than is generally expected. With regtsrd to the Spring Cup, I still think that Doubt and the other favours e (Yanope) will be beaten; and that if Unity cannot accomplish the deed, Cautiri or The Baroness will; besidese these, Conveyor and Wilmot are the only animals likely to figure to advan tage in the race. Myrtilla is scratched. For the Steeplechase, 'yetrpt the Grand National, I am inclined to think that the favourites, with one or two exceptions, will be found in the rear, and that the struggle will be amongst ch.. batch I selected last Friday. viz.:— Fugitive, Farnham, Rattrap, Tipperary Boy, Sir John, Abd el-Rader, and Maria Day, and I think I shall not bo far out if I place them thus:— FUGITIVE or FARNHAM RAT FRAY 2 ABD-EL-KADER TIPPERARY BOY Venice is reported to be amiss.
