A considerable degree of firmness prevails in the Stock Markets. The Funds maintain Saturday's quotations ; but Railways, with so me exce ptions, have advanced, while Foreign Stock* are firm. In this market the principal feature is the strength of the Egyptian Viceroy Loan and an advance in Brazilian Stock, consequent upon the accession to office of the new Ministry, which, it is thought, will put an end to the Paraguayan war. The wheat market, respond ing to those on the Continent, is flat, and last week's advance threatens to be lost. This circumstance has bad some effect in strengthening the Stock markets, though the attendance is exceedingly meagre and business is scarcely at all engaged in by the general public. _ The Discount Market is inactive, and rates are .unaltered at 1i per cent. The Wheat Market in Mark-lane this morning opened fiat at last Monday's rates to the turn lower. Consols are firm at 94 to 94k for money ; and 94k to 94 for account. New and Reduced Three per Cents., 944 to 94g. Bank Stock is 1 lower, at 213 to 246 ; Exchequer Bills, 15s to 20s prem. ; India Five per Cents., 1141 to 115 f. In the Foreign Market, Brazilian Stock is quoted at 774: to 78, being / higher than on Saturday, and the * Viceroy (Egypt) Loan is very firm, at 74 to 74i ; Greek is better, at 13 to 14 ; Mexican, 15 to 15 ; Spanish Three per Cents. are dull, at 34 to 34 ; Peruvian firm, at 79i to 80k ; Portuguese, 381 to 38' ; Danubian, 74 to 76 ; Turkish (1865), 39 to 391. In American Securities, Erie Railroad has recovered to the exteat of the fall of Saturday, the present price being 334- to 34i- ; Illinois, 91 to 92 ; United States 5-20 Bonds, 71 to 71k. English Railway shares generally are well supported, 'but the variations have been confined to Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, which is f better, at 43 to 43 i; and G rea t E as t ern k , at 38 to 381, while Great Northern is lower, at 104 to 106 i ; Lancashire and Yorkshi re is steady, at 129/ to 130/ ; Midland, 10 7 to 107 k ; South Eastern, 751 to 761 ; Great Northern (A) , 102 1 to 103 1 ; Great Western, 49 to ; London and North Western, 1162 to 117 f ; London and South Western, 89 to 91 ; Metropolitan, 1111 to 112,E ' • Caledonian, 752 to 76f ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 194- to 20.

The necessary assents to the removal of the receiver on the other side have been obtained, and within ten days from the time of making the application the order of the court for the removal of that officer will be issued. General Potter, the receiver, offers no opposition whatever ; on the contrary, he will facilitate the application as far as lies in his power.

The weather, although most favourable for the green crops, is against the progross of the harvest, and most of the western markets are quoted very firm. From those localities, however, where the harvest is in the reports speak of a diminished demand and easier prices. At Mark Lane to-day the attendance was not so large, and the trade opened flatly, although the imports were not generally heavy. For English wheat the sale was not so good as on Fri day, and prices did not excel those of Monday last. Foreign wheat, although not in large supply, was also dull, and there were sellers at last Monday's rates to the turn easier. Floating cargoes of wheat have not met so good a sale since Friday last. Flour quiet without quotable change, but a dull sale and not so well sustained. Barley remained without material change ; some malting sold at 465. Beans and Peas moved off at late rates. Oats about 3d to 6d cheaper on the week for Russian, .which comprised the bulk of the supply. Linseed dull, and rather drooping in value. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The prospects of b iter feed from the genial rains have had a perceptible effect upon tho appearance of the market to day, the amount of stock on sale being very much loss. Prices, as a consequence, are against the buyers, but the buoyancy has been modified by the adverse change in the dead meat markets, from the close state of the atmosphere. The number of beasts on sale was 3,710, including 98 from Scotland, 40 from Ireland, 1,782 English led, and 1,790 foreign. Prime qualities supported the late improve ments, and inferior sold at advanced rates. The number of sheep and lambs on sale was 21,530 in cluding 2,060 from abroad. Prime breeds were the turn dearer, and middling descriptions decidedly a better sale than of late and dearer. Of calves there were 248, of which 237 wore foreign, and rates were firm with steady sale. Pork a better sale. 269 pigs on offer. Lamb the turn dearer. Quotations : —Beef, as 4d to 5s 4 , 1; mutton, 3s 2d to 5s 2d ; veal, 3s to 5s 4d; pork, 3s 2d to 4s 81; lamb, 4s to 5s Gd per stone of Blbs, sinking the offal. NEWGATE AND LEADENIIALL, MEAT. —The close weather has caused some depression in the trade to-day, and prices have generally ruled lower, although a choice carcase of most kinds of meat in excep tional cases realised quito as much money. We quote beef 3s 4d to 4s, mutton 3s 4d to 4s, veal 4s to 4s 6d, pork, 3s 10d to 4s 4d; lamb, 3s 8d to 4s - p3r sto ne o f 81b . _ _ Poultry—The trade is very dull, and prices mostly lower. Pigeons, 5d to 8d ; fowls, Irish, is 6d to 2s ; Essex, 2s to 2s 6d ; Surrey, 2s 6d to 31 Gd ; large fowls, 4s 4d; geese, Gs Gd ; ducks, 2s 3d to 2s 9d ; grouse, which opened very dear, has gone down considerably, and this morning may be quoted 5s to 7s per brace. Eggs—French, 7s Gd to. Bs, tending downwards. WOOL. The colonial sales are progressing with moderato spirit at the opening rates, but Id to id under those of the previous series. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Sugar.—There is oaly a limited inquiry on the spot for floating, and prices have a drooping tendency. Refined sugars are also dull of sale and supported with difficulty. Coffec.—Peuding the auctions which commence to morrow, and which will offer good supplies, there is not much passing. Tea—Demand isdull, except common shipping congous , which are steady at is lid and is lfd. TALLOW. The market is steady at 44s '3d to 44s 61 spot, 45s 3,1 last three mouths.

BuTTEr..—The trade this morning was steadier for all kinds, and on the foreign market Friday's rates were pretty nearly maintained, the best Irish selling at 120 s to 121 s. The bacon trade was dull, and although 84s. was still quoted for the best Waterford supplies, the tendency was against sellers. Choose was in good demand and firm in price. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, Aug. 17.—Sa1os probably 20,000 bales. Market firm, and advancing. The Lords of the Admiralty have appointed Mr. G. Parsons, formerly master ropemaker at Ports mouth, to be master ropemaker at Chatham dock yard. An official inquiry has been institute) by Capt. W. Houston Stewart, C. 8., Superintendent of Chat ham dockyard, into the circumstances connected with the alleged attempt on the part of some of the subordinate officials of that establishment to use their influence for the purpose of coercing the workmen under them to oppose the Liberal candi date for Chatham at the ensuing election. The particular circumstances which gave rise to the in vestigation arose from a complaint made to the Captain Superintendent by the vice• chairman of the Liberal committee at Chatham, that an attempt had been made by certain officers con nected with one of the departments of the dockyard to induce the workmen to sign a petition in the dockyard against the disestablishment of the Irish Church, which only some two or three of the workmen could ba found to do. The result of the inquiries instituted has been a notification by the Captain-Superintendent of the dockyard that in stant dismissal will follow the attempt of any of the officials to influence any workman as to the way in which he should vote at the approach ing general election. An Admiralty order received at Chatham directs the vacant No. 4 dock at that establishment to be prepared for the double-screw iron armour-plated turret-ship Cerberus, now building at Yarrow by the Palmer Shipbuilding Company, for the defence of Melbourne, which vessel is to be sent to Chatham as soon as launched, to be made ready for sea. A new iron caisson for the entrance to the dock, in the place of the old wooden caisson, which blew up some time since, has been built by a private firm, and will shortly arrive at the dockyard to be fitted in its place. The annual gratuity of £5O given by the Admi ralty to one of the foremen at the Royal dockyards has this year been conferred on Mr. W. Darley, foreman at Chatham dockyard. her 'Majesty's steam storeship Fox, Staff-Com mander R. B. Bath, is loading at Woolwich dock yard with boilers for her Majesty's ship Incon stant, and will proceed to Pembroke as soon as completed. The gun carriage to fire over parapets on the pro tected barbette system will undergo its trial at Shoeburyness on Wednesday next in the presence of the members of the Ordnance Select Committee. The inventor, Captain Moncrieff, has been engaged for some days in preparing and fixing it in a battery, representing ground scarped with a face sloping towards the sea. The depot of the Ist battalion 6th Regiment ar rived at Colchester on Friday afternoon from Shef field, for the purpose of being attached to the Bth Depot Battalion. The depot consists of Captain Lloyd (in command), Captain Gandy, Lieut. J. T. Bowers, Lieut. C. 1). Bowers, Lieut. Hollingsworth, Ensign Wollaston, and 187 non-commissioned offi cers and men.

MARSEILLES, Aug. 17. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Massilia, which should have sailed at 8 a.m. yester day, only left at 5 a.m. to-day owing to the severe easterly gales. The Bristol, screw training-ship for cadets, Capt. Wilson, arrived at Spithead on Friday evening from a cruise, last from Portland. On anchoring she ex changed salutes with the Victory, flagship of the Commauder-in-Chief, Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley. She will go into Portsmouth harbour to make good some defects. The Ilighflyer screw corvette, Captain T. S. M. Pasley, has steamed into Portsmouth harbour, and is now alongside the jetty of the dockyard discharg ing her guns, stores, &c. She is expected to be paid off about the 260.1 inst. The screw ship Frederick 'William, Capt. Ken nedy, arrived at Spithead on Saturday evening from Foynes, Ireland, where she has been engaged for some time in the Coastguard service. She will go into Portsmouth harbour to-day, and her officers and crew will be turned over to the armour-plated screw ship Valiant for the same duty. The armour-plated iron screw steamship North umberland, 26, has been put in commission at Devonport by the transference to her of the officers and crew of the armour plated ship Lord Clyde, 23, Capt.

The August Sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning at the Old Bailey. There were on the bench the Right lion. the Re corder (Mr. Russell Gurney, Q.C.), Alderman Challis, Alderman Sir F. Graham Moon, Alderman Finnic, Alderman Dakin, Alderman Lusk, Alder man Cotton, Alderman Causton, Alderman and Sheriff Stone, Under-Sheriff Davidson, &c. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 121 prisoners, whose offences are thus classified :—Arson, 1 ; assault, with intent to rob, 2 ; unlawful bankruptcy, 2 ; burglary, 25 ; uttering counterfeit coint, 12 ; embezzlement, 4 ; casting corrosive fluid, 1 ; sending threatening letter, 1 ; forgery, 7 ; larceny, 17 ; stealing post letters, 1 ; libel, 1 ; manslaughter, 9 ; murder, and attempt to murder, 2 ; misdemeanour, 15 ; assaults wi 11 vio lence, &c., 9 ; feloniously wounding, 2 ; &c. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, stated that in consequence of the abgaice of the learned judges on their respective circuits, there had been a longer interval than usual since the last session, and the number of prisoners standing for trial was, therefore, very large. Unhappily; a great many of the cases involve I the loss of human life, there being one charge of wilful murder, and he thought no less than fourteen charges of manslaughter. The person charged with murder was a lad named Mackay, and it appeared that he was left at home with his mistress, and that shortly afterwards some of the neighbours heard her crying, "Oh don't; you will murder me." They went to see what was the matter, and the prisoner opened the door to them. On going into the house they found his mistress, a woman named Emma Grossmith, lying in a pool of blood. The prisoner was asked where his master was, and he went out for the purpose of looking for him, but did not return, and he was only apprehended on the charge a short time ago. Some of the charges of manslaughter were of a rather peculiar character. In one case the attention of the parish authorities was 3alled to the children of a man and his wife named Brooks. The children, aged respectively four and a half, two and a half, and one year, were found in a dreadful state, and after being taken to the workhouse the youngest one died, its death being at any rate hastened by the want of proper care and attention. There was evidence to show that the husband was at work at the time, and if he had not had the means of supporting his children he ought to have taken them to the workhouse. The jury would liave to con sider whether there had bean wilful neglect, and in the event of their being of that opinion it would be their duty to return a true bill. In another case a woman was charged with caus ing the death of a child of which she had undertaken the care for a sum of money weekly. It did not appear that the money had bean paid re gularly, but the prisoner, although not the parent, was bound to take care of the child, she having undertaken to do so. There was a charge against a husband of causing the death of his wife by neglect. It appeared that the deceased was per fectly helpless and confined to bed by disease, and that.she was left to the care of an imbecile daughter who could not attend her. The attention of the autho rities was called to her, and she was found to be ut terly neglected, and shortly afterwards died. Tha Recorder next referred to several manslaughter cases of a more ordinary character, and the jury I thereafter retired to their room. (Before the Recorler.) THE CASE OF MADAME RACHAEL. The name of Maclaine Rachael, otherwise Lever son, was on the list among the cases to be disposed of this morning, and the case appeared to excite a great deal of interest. It appears that it is not intended to proceed with the original charge against the defendant, which, as the public are aware, charges her with unlawfully obtaining a large sum of money from a widow lady named Borrodaile by false pretences, at least in its present form, as some difficulties appear to stand in the way of a conviction upon technical ground.. It is, therefore, the intention of the prosecution to prefer an entirely fresh indictment against the defendant, which will go before the grand jury to-day. Sergeant Parry, who appeared for the defendant, addressed the court, and having alluded to the above facts, he said that the case was one of a very peculiar character. If the fresh bill should be found a true one by the grand jury the charge would require a great deal of consideration , on the part of the legal advisers of the defendant and he, therefore, asked that the case might be fixed for Thursday. Mr. Montagu Williams, who appeared for the prosecution, said he had no objection to this course being taken, and the case therefore stands adjourned to Thursday. ELECTION _INTELLIGENCE. BosToN.—Mr. M. Staniland has issued an ;d -dress of great length to the electors of this borough. He stands in the Liberal interest in connection with Mr. T. Parry. Captain Sherard Osborn, R.N., in an address dated from the Reform Club, announces his retirement, as he does not wish to divide the Liberal party of the town. Mr. J. W. Malcolm, the sitting Conservative member, will offer hinasJf for re-election. CANTERBUitY.--A meeting of the Liberal party was held in the Music flail, on Thursday night, when a resolution, inviting Captain Brinckman to give them an exposition of his political sentiments was passed. The electors were warned to be care ful how they promised their votes for Mr. Butler- Johnstone, the independent candidate, lest they should render the return of their own candidate doubtful. CRICKLADE.—The present Conservative member, Mr. Ambrose Lethbridge Goddard, offers himself for re-election. He will vcte for the maintenance of the Irish Church and support the present Go vernment. Thursday night Mr. Clay, M.P., and Mr. Norwood, M.P., addressed a crowded meeting of electors in the Rifle Barracks. Both gentlemen spoke at length upon the Irish Church question, and stated that they were prepared to support Mr. Gladstone. A resolution pledging the meeting to secure the re-election of the two sitting members was unanimously adopted. Ipswica.—The number of electors in this borough, according to the overseers' lists, is 5,270, and there are besides about 350 freemen, making in all 5,620. From this amount may deducted a certain number who are probably on the lists of more than one parish, or registered both as householders and freemen, and likewise a few paupers whose rates are paid by their landlords. Reckoning these persons at about 170, the number on the register leaving the revising bar rister's hands may be estimated at about 5,450. The constituency at the election in 1865 amounted to 2,090, made up of 1,725 £lO householders and 365 freemen. Of these 46 had died since the regis tration, and 205 did not poll, leaving 1,839 who voted. The candidates at that election were--11. E. Adair, Esq., Liberal, who obtained 990 votes ; J. C. Cobbold, Esq., Conservative, 913 ; H. W. West, Esq. (Recorder of Manchester), Liberal, 905; and W. Tidmas, Esq., of Nottingham, Conservative, 776. The two first named gentlemen, who are the present members, will no doubt again offer them selves, and Mr. West also comes forward again to wrest the representation of the borough from the hands of Mr. Cobbold, a gentleman of great local influence among pub!icans, &c., but who must not expect to appeal with much success to the new con stituency. The old freemen, who will now form only about six instead of 18 per cent. of the total number of electors, were the means of returning Mr. Cobbold in 1835 by the bare majority of eight above Mr. West, as, if the votes of householders only had been counted, they would have stood thus : Adair 856, West 775, Cobbold 731, and Tidmas 605. Mr. West has addressed meetings, and been received with the greatest enthusiasm by the work ing classes. Mr. A lair will undoubtedly be re turned with Mr. West by a triumphant majority at the head of the poll. KIDDERMINSTER.—Au open air meeting of the supporters of Mr. Thomas Lea, one of the Liberal candidates, was held on Wednesday evening at Kidderminster. There seems to be a difficulty about deciding which candidate of three the Libe rals shall, as a body, support. At the close of the meeting a resolution in favour of Mr. Lea's candi thture was passed, but not without opposition. MONMOUTHSHIRE.—CoIoneI Clifford has issued an address to the electors of this county in the Liberal interest. lie advozates the disestablishment of the Church as a measure of ju3tice to Ireland; is in favour of having county boards basJd upon the principle of representation, and he pledges him self to give a general support to the leader of the Liberal party. There is no doubt entertained that with the large addition to the number on the register under the new Reform Act there will be no difficulty in returning one Liberal candidate. NEWARK.—Mr. Grosvenor ll)dgkins)n, senior member for Newark, has just issued as address to the electors, in which he states " that having been now one of their representatives iu Parliament during ten sessions, he must submit to be judged by his past conduct rather than by any professions as regards the future. He remains an advocate of protected voting, and is in favour of Mr. Glad stone's proposals with respect to the Irish Church, they being intended to effect a simple act of justice." No Conservative is yet in the field. There is a rumour that Mr. Philip Handley is to be invited by the Liberals to offer himself in conjunction with Mr. llodgkinson, but nothing definite is yet known. Lord Arthur Clinton has not yet issued an address. OXFORD (Car).—Mr. C. Neate has issued a farewell address to the electors. Mr. IV. V. Har court has canvassed a great portion of the consti tuency, and his friends speak confidently of his chances of success. POOLE.—Mr Charles Waring has issued an ad dress, in which he solicits re-election. lie says he shall heartily concur in those measures offecting the Irish Church Establishment which Mr. Gladstone has initiated. PORTSMOUTH. —Mr. Stour and Mr. Gaselee have just issued their addresses, and, like the whole of the Liberal addresses, the hon. gentlemen speak in no uncertain terms of their support to Mr. Glad stone and a hearty endorsement of his policy for the disestablishment of the Irish Church. WEST 3 IINSTER.—Last night a crowded meeting of the inhabitants of St. James's and St. Ann's, Soho, was held in Willis's-rooms, Brewer-street, Golden-square, to consider the lodger franchise, with reference to the approaching election for the city of Westminster. Dr. Brewer occupied the chair, and was supported by many influential electors. The chairman explained the pro visions of the act relating to lodgers, and said that the local committee were prepared to afford all information necessary for lodgers claim ing the franchise The Secretary would supply forms and appear before the revising barrister on behalf of lodgers. He believed, if the lodgers did not take up the matter, John Stuart Mill would go to the wall ; but it was in their power to prevent that. The election of Capt. Grosvenor was secure, but what he wanted was to prevent West minster becoming nullified in Parliament. If John Stuart Mill were not elected, the voice of the city of IN estminster would be inoperative in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) On the motion of Mr. Miles, seconded by Mr. Laskey, the following re solution was carried :—" That this meeting is of opinion that it is the duty of every lodger to avail himself of the right to vote conferred by the 4th clause of the Representation of the People Act ; and that the present members, Captain the Hon. R. W. Grosvenor and Mr. J. S. Mill, fully deserve the support of the Liberal electors of Westminster at the ensuing election. Ile Prince and Princess of Wales, after a short sojourn in Scotland, will proceed to Denmark on a visit to the parents of the Princess ; thence their Royal High nesses will go to Sweden, and it is believed before return ing to England that the Prince and Princess will pay a visit to the King and Queen of Greece at Athens.—court Journal.

MAR LBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON AN "ARTIST."—Ann Collins, the wife of Mr. Sydney Collins, artist in colouring black eyes," No. 42, Great Windmill-street, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, charged with assaulting her husband. The complainant said that about two o'clock on the morning of th e 22d July the prisoner (his wife) came home, and on asking her why she kept out till such an ho ur , she abused him in the vilest lan guage, and the n fl ew at him, pulled his nose, and tore some pieces of th e fl es h o ff hi s face. She had also assaulted hi m a few days before in a most das tardly manner, a n d h ad been in pr i son severa l t i mes for assaults upon him and others. Barns, the gaoler, said that he had known the parties several years, and that the complainant for merly kept a sh op i n Little Pulteney-street, and carried on a go o d b usiness, but he had b een coin completely ruined by his wife. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to find two sureties in £2O each to keep the peace for six months. THAMES. Barrie, a Hi THE FREQUENC Y OF S UICIDE S AT TIIE LON D O N DOCK.—Mary An a young woman, was brought before Air. Paget charged with making an attempt to drown herself in the waters of the Lon don Dock, in Red Gravel-lane. A lighterman saw the prisoner get upon the railings of the swivel bridge in Red Gravel-lane, Ratcliff Highway, and she was about to plunge into the water when the lighterman and others pulled her down and saved her. The prisoner, in her defence, said that she was ,ipsy, and was very sorry for what she had done. Mr. Paget said that there were a great many of those cases. Poor, wretched, drunken women had been continually brought before him and his col league for making attempts at self-destruction. Many had Leen taken out of the water and saved. He asked the height of the railings. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, replied four feet, and that they were upright rails. Mr. Paget could not help thinking that the rails might be made much higher, and these attempts frustrated. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said that there were bridges of a similar description, which were used as thoroughfares by the public over the locks at Foxe's-lane, New Gravel-lane, and Old Gravel lane, and they were opened when required for the admission of ships passing in and out of the docks. At all those places there had been many attempts, and some of them had terminated fatally. There was another bridge lately constructed and opened and shut by hydraulic power, and the railings were of sufficient height to prevent any of those attempts. The Lighterman--That is a lattice work bridge, and is moved backwards and forwards, and not swung like the others. The dock company employ men with boats to save life, and there are drags in constant readiness all over the docks and quays. Mr. Paget said the increase in the height of the railings would be much better, and prevent these fre quent attempts. lie should like to see a person in authority connected with the d)ck. He remanded the prisoner for a week. Catherine White, who had been under remand for a week in the Clerkenwell House of Detention, and who made a similar attempt at the same place, was brought up, and Mr. Paget, having received a favourable report concerning her from the chap lain of the prison, dischargeeher.

The mcst important of the coming fixtures are Egham, York August, Dover, Plymouth, and Tunbridge ; and of those Egham, York, and Tunbridge will obtain the most prtronatige. I shall confine my remarks to the programmes put forth from the two first-named places, anticipating but moderate sport for those who assist at the Southern fixtures. The two leading handicaps, the Runnymede Stakes, one mile, and the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, one mile and a half, have obtained, respectively, but seven and three acceptances, and as Mr. G. Angell may not moan business, the first-named will probably fall to President Lincoln, 3 yrs, 7st 51b. The Cooper's Hill Nursery Handicap, for two year old; three-quarters of a mile, will not find Fleetwing, Bst 121 b. far from the mark if her new owner deems it politic to run her, and with his representative I shall couple Sagax, Gst 71b, to produce the winner. The Betting Stand Plate, five furlongs, will bring out the largest field on the first day, and Laird of Scotland, 3 yrs, Gst 71b, and flue and Cry, 3 yrs, 6st, aro worthy of attention; as ate Vera brugh, 7st 41b, and Adolphus, 7st 21b, of the nine in the Baron's stakes, for two year olds, five furlongs, this being the only remaining handicap we can pass an opinion upon. Of the 41 entered for the King John Stakes for two year olds, T.Y.C., the best performers are Actress, Baroness (Hr. Dunbar's), Atnadou, Charon, M itiLls, Nanny Thor manby, and Storm King. Matilda has some engagements at York, but her owner can win the race under notice with her if he likes, and if he declines to send her Amadou should win. The Princess of Wales's Plato, three quarters of a mild, is only a question of asking on the part of the owner of Candidate. The York list is very strong, ten items being sot for the first, twelve for the second, and ten for the con cluding day. Tho sport to come off on the. Knavesmire will not affect the St. Leger in any great degree, none of the prominent Doncaster favourites having engagements ; still the Great Yorkshire Stakes may bring out Cap-a-pie, of whose improvement there is so much talk, and if he wins easily no doubt he will take a more prominent posi tion in the lever betting than honow holds. If ho is beaten his case will bo hopeless as far as the coining event is concerned. A few of the races in the programme will be walked over for, and of those set for Wednesday the Black Duck Stakes, for two year olds, three-quarters of a mile, is likely to have that termination, Belladrum being vastly superior to the rest of the nominations. Tho Burgundy rt , takes, for four year olds, two miles, has only two left in, Wroughton and Sir Oliver, whose owners aro pretty sure to come to an arrangement. The Yorkshire Stakes, for three year old fillies, one mild and a quarter, will not be productive of a strong competition, and the pick ,of the sixty-six entries are Buttercup, Loonie, Athena., Miss Osborne, Contempt, Lady Elizabeth, Lady Highthorn, Mysotis, Witchcraft, Quality, and Naivete. The latter has no penalty, and as she has stayed the distance I prefer her to her stable com panions, Athena and Lady Elizabeth, believing that she has the most danger to apprehend from Loonie. The Convivial Stakes, T.Y.C., is regarded as the most impor tant two year old event of the meeting, but the public performers among the sixty-three nominated are not a grand lot, and a respectable "dark" candidate can readily take the prize. if it is fated to fall to one whose preten sions are known, Acaster, who showed good form at Hun tingdon, and ran forward for the Goodwood Nursery with a big weight, and Minaret aro the most likely The three year old North of England Biennial, two miles, may bring out Tho Herald, Tympanum, St. Ronan, Apollo, The Sawyer, Clairou, Vale Royal, Bluesk'n, Vis count, and Warrington in opposition, and, as the journey will be too far for the "roaring " St. Renan, Blueskin and Viscount must be my champions; the latter has improved since he last ran in public, according to the training re porters. 'I he Chesterfield Handicap Plate, one mile, has Taraban at the head of affairs with Bst 121 b, and the dis tance will not suit him so well as it will Honestish, 4 years, Bst 21b; The Dean, 4 years, 7st 12Ib ; The Priest, 4 years, 7st 81b; Donaldhain, 3 years, 7st llb ; and Russian Bear, 3 years, Gat Mb, these being apparently the best of the twenty-two weighted. The Tupgill representative will probably start first favourite, an I my choice must be the best—The Dean and :The Pries , . The Filly Sapling Stakes, for• two year old; T.Y.C., rests with Melody and Minaret, the best of the others being Lady Cecilia. and Matilda. The latter can win the Rawcliffe Stakes, T.Y.C., and the Glasgow Stakes, for two-yr-olds, T.Y.C., and the Ebor• St. Leger, for three year olds, one mile and three quarters, should fall respectively to Vest min :ter and Apollo, while, in the probable absence of Do Vera, the Fairfield Stakes, for two and three year old; three quarters of a mile, will leek equally as promising for the representative of Mr. Johnstone—Mercury or the Lady Melbourne filly. Tho two year old North of Eng land Biennial, T.Y.C., Mr. Savile can take with Rysh worth, and only in the absence of the latter will Acaster an I Duke of Beaufort be found worthy of attention. The Prince of Wales Stakes, also for two year olds, T.Y.C., is a certainty for Martyrdom, and Charnwood can take the Hopeful Stakes, for three year old=, in the absence of Ta bouret, who will be wanted for his more important engage ment. The Great Eber Handicap, two miles, has not ex cited a wonderful amount of speculation, and, according to present appearances, the competition will belimit:,d. Strath conan's penalty pats him out of court, for he cannot coo code 121 b to last year's wine. er, Mandrake, who will repre sent Tupgill stable, independently of Tabouret, the pair belonging to different owners. They meet at about weight for age, and as we cia readily believe that Mandrake could have won the Goodwood Stakes with about 7st Sib, he must be considered as :forinideble as the son of Rataplan, who will boat Ilium aghin, and who roads more promising than the Spigot Lodge candidate, Fervacques, because he finished a long way a head of the four year old for the Liverpool Cup—a race he might have wen in a canter. There has been a strong disposition to lay against Forvacques since the defeat of Fortunio at Stockton, where Three - per Cent. cut such a moderato show behind the grey for the principal handicap that ho can have no chance for the race under notice. On the following day The Spy could only just beat The Sawyer, giving him 41b, and this is hardly enough, despite the Goodwood form of the Whitewall horse, who will meet Tabouret on much better terms than he did the last time they met. Still the last-named wasalong distance ahead, and we cannot shut our oyes to the fact that the Tupgill school have readily supported the son of Rataplan, and that they must be able to form a good idea of the pretentious of those trained at Whitewall. Man drake beat Taraban a long way at Ascot at even weight; but at Stockton, with only 31b the worst of it, he could only win by a neck, after a most determined struggle, and it remains to be seen if an advantage of 111 b will enable the latter to turn the tables. Of his merits Tom Dawson can get a capital idea through Tynedale, who finished just in front of biro for the Northumberland Plate, and the last performance of the winner of that trophy does not say much for Taraban, though, as remarked above, the latter did well on Friday at Stockton. Fair Wind has been waiting a long time to run in his true colour; and if he performs on Thursday ho will probably meet the usual fate of kept good things. Lord Palmerston can stay, but is hardly class enough, and the same may be said of Donaldbain, who may run to assist Ta bonnet. Wild Briar is turned loose, and has no penalty for winning at Wolverhampton, but the distance is too far for her; and, to sum up briefly, I think I John Scottor Tom Dawson will supply the winner, and that the prize will fall to The Spy or Tabouret. The Nursery Han dicap, for two year old; T.Y.Q., is one of the most im portant of the minor events fixed for the concluding day, and from the lot weighted for this we can only select the Imperatrice colt, 7st 41b, and Brother to Shibboleth, Est 121 b (including 71b extra) as a promising couple. The latter, won his Stockton engagement on Thursday in a canter, and the other has only to run up to his private form to recompense those who backed him so unprofitably during the Sussex fortnight. The Gimcrack Stakes, for two year olds, will try the stamina of tho competitors, the distance to bo traversed being a mile. The most notable of the 38 entered aro Matilda, Number Nip, LadyDowliurst, the filly byNewminster, out of Lady Melbourne, Thorwald sen, Banco, and Melody, from whom we select the latter and Thorwalsden. The York Cup, two miles, promises to be a more interesting affair than usual, and it will pro bably attract Strathconan, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b (last year's win ner); Tynedale, 4 yrs, Bst 71b; Knight of the Garter, 4 yrs, Bst 71b; Speculum, 3 yrs, 7st 121 b; and perhaps Vale Royal, 3 yrs, 7st 51b. Blinkhoolie, Julius, and Blueskin are among the remaining nominations, but the pair first named are very doubtful starters, and the other will bo wanted for a heavier engagement, in which case I think Strath conan, and Speculum will be found the most worthy of support. The Great Yorkshire Stakes, for three year old; one mile and three-quarters, has seventy entries, including The Spy, Tao Sawyer, Orion, Lady Highthorn, Geant des Batailles, Charnwood, Viscount, Blueskin, Cap-a-Pie, The Parson, Uncas, and Quality. It is any odds on one of this lot securing the prize, and, were they fit, Orion and Mercury would be the most entitled to attention on public grounds. They have recently been amiss, and as Colonel Pearson may not fancy bringing Cap-a-Pie out with the St. Leger so near at hand, I shall elect to be represented by Blueskin and Charnwood, the latter of whom stayed the Craven Stakes Course at Goodwood, and ought to do tho extra half mile on the Knavesmire.
