The canal debts cover $11,147,600, and the General Fund debt $5,000,000 more. The present constitution has provided for the extinction of these two items by setting apart from the canal revenues $2,050,000, which will liquidate in 1868 the canal debt of 1816, and the General Fund debt in about four years afterwards. The new canal debt in 1850 will be extin guished in 1868 by sinking fund, and at the same time the debt of 1859 and the bounty State . will also be paid by direct taxation. Thus, under the present regulations, the whole State debt should be extinguished by the year 1879, leaving us only our share of the national debt and the county debt.—Albany Argus, April 27. An American paper says the expansion of the rails of a railroad 500 miles long in a hot summer day is one-quarter of a mile, all of which has to be allowed for at the joints. • 1 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1868.

Wednesday is the Derby Day, and as the timo for the decision of that world-renowned race approaches, even serious business individuals, who rarely trouble them selves respecting the competition of racehorses, begin to make inquiries about the odds, and for once in a way show sporting proclivities. At present, owing to the favour in which Lady Elizabeth is held, the field does not promise to be of its usual strong dimensions; but the interest in the contest, when the competitors are marshalled in the " dell of fate," will be the same as in past years. superfluous, as Lady Elizabeth and Formosa are vastly supejior to any of those likely to oppose them. The last time Lady Elizabeth and Formosa met, in the Middle Park Plate, Formosa beat the Danebury filly in their places, after a close race. Between the pair it will again be a fine contest ; but as the straight, when Easby gave way, and Pirate Chief took the lead, .maintaining it to the 'distance, where he was chal lenged by Distaff, whom the Chief beat very cleverly by a neck; a'bad third ; Mars was fourth, Clarina fifth, and Ada last. An objection was lodged by Britton, the rider of Duchess, against the first and second, on the ground that they had closed upon him and prevented him getting through, but it was overruled.

Deacon _ Sawyer Kettledrum Corrival J. Snowdon Colt by Buccaneer Viscountess - *The Earl Y. Melbourne ... Bay Celia - *Restitution King Tom Rest's dam - *Franchise Stockwell Bribery - Those marked with an asterisk (*) are doubtful runners. Lady Elizabeth, although strong efforts have been made , by the layers to drive her back in the quotations, main tains her position with remarkable firmness, and, like Patron, she may be backed against the field before the flag falls. Her performances as a two-year- old are well known, and need not be recapitulated here. Only once, in the Middle Park Plate, did Lady Elizabeth suffer defeat in 1867. During the interregnum she is reported to have trained on, and grown into a magnificent filly, whilst her temper, even her enemies admit, has improved. Fit on the day, where is the colt, now that Rosi crucian is reported to ,have lost his old form, to be found capable of giving Lady Elizabeth 31b ? The Earl, in ease of Lady Elizabeth going amiss at the eleventh hour, would be a useful " second string " for Danebury. Sir Joseph Hawley's trio—Blue Gown, Rosicrucian, and Green Sleeve—have all in turn been backed, and, notwith standing the decline of Rosicrucian to 25 to 1, odds of 5 to 2 are accepted about tho lot. The market at present points to Blue Gown as the probable champion, but we.do not think he will stay the course, and would rather trust to Green Sleeve, who will be a good favourite before the Derby day arrives. The trial horse of Sir Joseph Haw ley's team is said to have been Moslem, who is quite capa ble of testing the Merits of a Derby candidate ; but with the downfall of Rosicrucian all hopes of the " bias ribbon " going to Kingsclere have, in our opinion, vanished. Orion, on the strength of having beaten Paul Jones in a trial a few weeks ago, has been heavily supported, to win and also for a place. Beyond a mile Orion has not yet shown hie ability to travel, and, as we believe him to bo a non-stayer, and an uneertein horse, like his sire, to boot, we discard the son of Cramond, as his best public form has never been within 1.41 b of the form required to win a Derby. Paul Jones is a mere handicap horse, and though good judges are reported to be "going for" the son of Buccaneer, nothing would surprise us more than to see Mr. Hodgman's colt secure the greatest prize of the year. Speculum is a good, honest horse, far su perior to Orion and Paul Jones, and is almost certain to be one of the first three. The Duke of Newcastle's other representative, Pace, may be formidable in the Doncaster St. Leger, but he has not speed enough for the Derby, and his action is quite unsuited to the hill and dale at Epsom. The colt by Toni Bowline, after hav ing been tried a good horse, has been lama, and conse quently declined to 100 to 1. At Bath he was partially resuscitated, but we fear Lord Glasgow's colours will not be to the fore in this year's Derby, Suffolk. 'on his best form, has an outside chance— nothing more—but, as he belongs to the uncertain school, we discard Baron Rothschild's colt, for he is not ehaped to act well over the Epsom course. St. Ronan, though a game horse, is a "piper;" and Rabican, who is said to be a certain starter, has been lame too recently for us to seri ously entertain his chance. Mercury and Uncas, mea sured by their York performances last year, are ono and the same horse; but neither animal has the least Derby pretensions, though in the second-class races they will hold their own. Forest King, who is trained privately in his owner's park, may run creditably, and, as he once beat Orion, there is no "just cause or impediment" why he should not do so again. Viscount we have put down as a runner, but memories of Whitewall will not be revived by the victory of this son of The Marquis and Columbine. Amongst the doubtful starters there is no dangerous name save that of The Earl. From the above remarks it will be gathered that we have strong faith in LADY ELIZABETH, and for the Queen of Danebury we anticipate a clever vic tory. Lengthy entries have been secured to the Bentinck and Epsom Town Plates; but as the horses nominated for these races have prior engagements, we do not feel jus tified in making selections at this moment. There are eight races in Thursday's list. In the Two Year Old Stakes (four furlongs) forty-one horses have been nominated, several of which will have performed in the Woodcote on Tuesday. The best names, however, in Thursday's race are Sea Breeze, Director, Glonlyon, Wel lington, Sister to Hermit, Little Lord, Queen Esther, Sis ter to Rosicrucian, Lady Margaret, Diamond, Le Saphir, Trompette, and Lure. The distance (four furlongs) is scarcely far enough for the Herinione colt, and therefore to the elected of Mr. Naylor's pair—Glenlyon or Welling ton—we award the race. Only four horses have been entered for the Epsom Four Year Old Stakes (li and Fervacques will win, if he is not permitted to walk over. The Epsom Grand Stand Cup (1} miles) has 37 subscriptions; but as the acceptances are not duo till Monday evening, wo can only point out Tormentor and Priority as being favourably weighted. On Friday the Oaks Stakes will not attract more than eight or ten runners. PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS FILLY. SIRE. DAIL. JOCKEY. Lady Elizabeth Trumpeter Miss Bowzer ... G.

Thera aro 19 entries for the Great Surrey Foal Stakes (1 mile), but Vale Royal and Uncas will have the race between them, and as Mr Lincoln's colt will have run in the Derby, Vale Royal is entitled to the preference. Eighty horses have Won nominated for the Epsom Two Year Old Plate (6 furlongs), the most noteworthy of which are Electricity, Sister to Her mit, Palmitine, Queen Esther, Hark-over, La Saphir, Trompette, Soffiuka, Director, the colt by Tim Whiffler, out of Hermione, the filly by Oulstou out of Orucifixiou, and Jove. Electricity is entitled to an allowance of 61b, and as Badsworth is penalised 71b, Mr. Morgan's filly may find her most dangerous opponent in the Hermione colt. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HARPENDEN MEETING-FRIDAY. The gathering held on Harpenden Common was in point of attendance quite successful, although the elements in the latter portion of the day tended to mar the enjoyment of both holiday seekers and professional turfites, for rain fell heavily during the afternoon. A long string of car riages lined both sides of the course for a considerable dis tance beyond the Grand Stand, occupied by a very in fluential comrany, which, coupled with pedestrians, brought the visitors up to nearly last year's numbers. The card contained eight items for decision, and three of thorn were remarkable for the further success of the Buccaneer stock, in Pirate Chief and Perfume, the former scoring a double victory in the Handicap Plate and Wheathamstead Handicap. The opening event, the Trial Stakes, was won by Hammerton, who upset a couple of better favourites than himself ; and Pirate Chief ran away easily from his opponents in the Handicap Plate, pulling off the good thing he has long been expected to do. He was almost the worst favourite of the fifteen runners, to all of whom ho was conceding weight, and consequently it was not surprising that odds was laid on him for the subsequent event, which he won. The penalised Perfume carried off the Two-year-old Stakes, and backers landed a great pot in Black Boy in the Scurry Handicap. Lucifer, the top weight, won the Harpenden Handicap, after a good race with last year's winner, Midwife, and the result confirms the running of Lord St. Vincent's horse at Newmarket. Claymore was successful in the Rothamstead Stakes, and in the last race, the Manor Stakes, the speedy but vici ous Valentia was not backed by her owner for a shil hag, who was afraid to rust her, and glad to get rid of , her after the race. The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 addod. One mile. Mr. W. G. Bennett's Hammerton, by Colsterdale— Greylock, 3 yrs (£100), 6st 101 b (car.

Won by two lengths. DERBY AND OAKS SCRA.TCILINGS.—The latest scratch ings for the Derby are Albion, Montbar, Carlowrie, Giant des Batailles, Betrayal, Marquis of Casabas, Thyphceus, Apollonius, The Popo, Aquila, and Pain's Hill. The Oaks —Lady Glencora, Hermosa, Idalia, Queen of Italy, Jaca mar, Perseverance, Narrow Escape, Jenny Mills, Lady Ravensworth, Cymbal, Lady Alice, and Mysotis. Prince A. Murat has purchased Flambant for 3,800 francs ; and the horse has arrived at Mitchell's stables, Chantilly, to be trained. Lady Elizabeth, who will be ridden by Fordham, will not-leave Danebury until Tuesday next. Speculum did not return to Newmarket from Bath, but joined Pace and Harvester at Clumber, where the " going" is all that can be desired, even in the present dry weather. The Derby outsider, Forest King, arrived at Oakwood Lodge, Epsom, on Friday, accompanied by his owner, Sir Lydston Newman, who has taken that residence (which is near the course) for the Epsom meeting. John Scott will have only one horse at Epsom next week, viz., Viscount, engaged in the Derby. The Duke of Hamilton has purchased Monsieur Paul Aumont's seven yearlings in one lot. Charles Moss has opened a training ostablishment at Clairefontaine, near Banibouillet. Monsieur P. Aumont's Brigantine, Orpheline, and Mdlle. de Fligny are turned out of training for the present. HAMPTON RACES.—Deceit was accidentally omitted from the entry for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes. Mr. Ruff has adopted the late Lord Palmerston's colours —green jacket and orange cap. Mr. S. Reeves's colours are cherry, and orange cap. Hartshorn, winner of some good races in Ireland, was given away after his wretched performances at the recent Baldoyle meeting in Ireland, to Mr. Doyle, owner of The Lamb. All Mr. Fleming's horses in training will be sold at Tattersall's' on Monday, June 22nd. The Earl of Suffield's horses will in future be trained by James Potter, Clay Hill, Epsom, at whose stables Va lentia has arrived. Mr. H. Saville has passed through Paris on his way to the south.

George Lye has lost a promising yearling filly by Van Galen out of Leah, which broke its leg in the paddock. Lady Grace has been put to Newminster, but will be trained again later in the season. HOTEL ROBBERIES AT RACE MEETINGS.—No little con sternation was created at Bath on Wednesday morning by the discovery of several bedroom robberies at the York House, the Royal, and other hotels. One gentleman at the Royal, who neglected to fasten his bedroom door, lost money and jewellery to the amount of .£lO6. At the ork House another gentleman (Mr. Cole) was robbed of .£l7, and the thief, or thieves, likewise visited the sleeping apartments of Sir Thomas Moncrieffe and Mr. Bevill, evidently with the same intention ; but the latter gentleman being "wide awake" when his door was tried, invited his visitor to "come in ;" but instead of complying with Mr. B.'s polite request, ho " sloped." Sir Thomas Moncrieffe occupied Lord Stanford's usual bed room, at the back of their sitting-room, the duor out of which he omitted to fasten, and in the morning discovered his dressing bag (which was ou the chest of drawers when ho retired to rest) ripped open, and in a disordered state, on the sofa in tha sitting-room. The previous week, at Winchester, Mr. S. Ilaii g hton was robbed of .£5O in notes, under similar circumstances —it is supposed by a foreigner; and there is little doubt that the Bath robberies were com mitted by the same experienced chevalier d'industrie, as on each occasion the suspected stranger in question took his departure by au early train.

HAY AND STRAW. There wore increased supplies of haystuffs on sale this morning at Whitechapel and Smithfield, but a fair demand prevailed and prices were unaltered. The rules, so far as they have extended, have been very beneficial to the hay crops, and have alorady brought better accounts from some localities, but none to what extent the mischief occasioned by the protracted drought has been received remains to be seen. We quote — Meadow hay, GOs to 830; clover, GOs to 104 s ; straw, 28s to 325. TALLOW.
