Sweepstakes of 10 boys cach.—Belladruni, Crocus, and Giantess are our lot, and of course " the Drum" is the best. MIDDLEiIAM.—We are likely to have a great number of horses at Doncaster. In the Champagne Stakes we have Dorventio and Minaret in good work. The former is a great good looking colt, and a splendid goer, but is back ward in condition. Minaret is going first class, and will be our best. Pinnacle has gone home. Vansittart, Wood man, Glenalmond, and Duchess of Athol are only canter ing. Glasgow Stakes—ltch colt is very well, and I may :say the same of the Lady Melbourne filly in the Filly Stakes, which she will about land. Tabouret and Etoile Filante aro both very lit, and the latter is nicely treated in the Great Yorkshire Handicap, but I think she is rather jady. Tabouret never went better, and the ono that beats him will win. lIEDNESTJUD.—No have nothing with the ghost of a chance in the Lager. There is one thing, however, I wish to remind you of, which is tin high opin'on Thomas Dawson had of Uueas, throug4 his running with Mercury last year, and I fancy Mercury is worth your readers' at tention fur a place. In the Filly Sapling Stakes wo have Melody, who, though, like Uncas, rather small, is as game as a pebble. In the Doncaster Stakes we have William and Uncas, but neither will run. The latter, Monitor, and Ite,trousse are only taking walking exercise in the paddock. ILSLEY. —la the St. Leger we have Cap-à-Pie, Orion, Ironmaster,Milton, Belfast, Proctor,and Hatchment engaged. Cap-à-Pie is as well as any horse in the world can be and is daily doing good work. lie will run well, but I don't think he is class enough for this event, though be is sure to finish in the front rank. Orion has done well of late, and looks and goes well. He is a real good horse at a mile, but I cannot fancy him over this course, and in my opinion Cap-a-Pie will beat him. Ironmaster is in rare form again just now, but as three-quarters of a mile is his best dis tance, he can have no chance. Milton, Proctor, and Hatchment are not worth commenting upon. Cap-a-Pie is also engaged in the Great Yorkshire Handicap, and should his owner run him for this race he will take some doing. FIXDON.—Since my last letter, I am glad to say that a very great improvement has taken place in our horses engaged in the Cesarewitch and the Cambridgeshire. Romping Girl has been put into longer work, and led by the gelding by Vedette out of Vixen, is going a rare gallop each morning of two miles. Owain Glyudv► r, Thalia, and Hermitage aro doing a mile and a half at three-quarters speed. Fakir and Wolsey aro doing a mile each morn ing. Doncaster Mooting.—The Great Yorkshire Handi cap.—Wo have Romping .Girl and Thalia, and of thb two the former is going much the best. Clamber Plato Tibthorpe and Bismarck are in, and 1 should go for the first-named if he runs, as Bismarck is a very different ani mal from what ho was once. FYFIELD —I don't think we shall have many horses at Doncaster. In the Champagne Stakes wo have Carine and Tom Tayler engaged. The latter I have not seen on the downs for a long time, and although Carine is a smart looking filly, I cannot recommend her on this occasion. St. Leger—Picnio and Boanerges are our lot. Picnic's form your readers well know. Boanerges has been walk ing the whole summer, but is now doing some nice steady work. I should say he wont be among the starters, but I think he is quite likely to be heard of before the season is Over. STANTON.—At Doncaster, next week, we have Christmas Carol engaged in the Great Yorkshire Handicap, and with his light impost he ought to about win. In the St. Leger we have Ruric, Marlyon, Catton, and See-Saw. The last named is the only one that will stand any chance from here, and I believe him worth a place investment, as I never saw a horse look or go better. I believe next Wed nesday he will strip one of the finest horses at Doncaster. Grey Stocking will stand no chance for the Corporation Plate, as she has only been doing walking exercise of late. MALTON. —Our two Leger horses—The Spy and Vis count—aro being rattled along, led by War for the last three days, as their old schoolmaster, Taraban, seems to have had enough of it. For the Champagne, Fecialis is well, and has undergone a strong preparation, but I am inclined to think the company too good for him. lie is also in the Glasgow Stakes, where I think he will be better matched. War is in the Great Yorkshire Handicap, and the old horse was never better. Should he go as well at Doncas ter as he does at home, he will about land this stake. The Clipper, in the Filly Stakes, is well and fit to run, but she has a will of her own. In the Leger we have The Spy and Viscount, who are both well, and have undergone one of the Whitewall veteran's Leger preparations. My choice is for the last-named, and whatever beats him will win. Ersom.,—On looking through the Doncaster programme 1 find we shall bo but very poorly represented there. Candidate is in the Glasgow Stakes, and should certainly land that stake Lor his owner. Groat Yorkshire Handicap —The Laird is our solo representative, and with his lenient impost must be near winning this stake for the squire, and recompense him for his Canterbury disqualification. The horse has done well since his return. LEIVES.--I am sorry I have so little to roport to-day, for, Drewitt being at Abingdon, there is scarcely anything doing. There are about twenty horses in the morning strings, but they are only cantering. Drewitt ,vill have no horses at Doncaster, and by the work Reed's are doing, I should think he is not likely to have any run fur some time to come. I hear from 'reiscombe that Paul Junes is doing first-class, and will run for the St. Leger, and by what I think he will take his own patt should all be well. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SCRATCHING OF THE EARL.—This horse, the doings in connection with whom have this year bean attended with such unenviable notority, was struck out of all his en gagements for the present year yesterday (Friday). For some time past The Earl, so long the first favourite for the St. Leger, has, not unnaturally after the Derby ex periences, been looked upon with extreme suQpicion, his bewildered backers, as they watched the up and down and down and up movements from day to day, being in a strait as to whether they ought to " stand him" or " get out." Now reported as having cracked heels and unable to raise a gallop, and then despite these rumours coming this week from 3 to 1 to 6 to 4, and then going away again on Friday to 8 to 1, were suspicious signs enough ; but the Gordian knot was effectually severed by the pen being put through his name at 3.5 p.m., his stable companion Lady Elizabeth being struck out of the St. Leger only at the same time. SALE OF BLOOD STOCK AT WARWICK.-011 Wednes day last, on Warwick Race Course, the following were disposed of by auction by Messrs. Bretherton and Harrison to M. Dawson:—Brown colt by Tim Whiffler, dam Maid of Cadiz, by Venison, for 250 gs. ; also a bay filly by Lord Clifden, dam by Lifeboat out of Mellona, for 150 gs. TORMENTOK.—This well-known mire, the winner of the Oaks in 1866, together with other blood stock, the property of Mr. B. Ellam, who is farming a breeding stud at the Warren, Epsom Downs, is advertised for sale by private contract, and Mr. E!lam farther emt.3m2lat3s dis posing of all his horses in training._ THE NIGHTMARE OBJECTION. —ln justice to W. G. Jarvis, the owner of Nightmare, it should b 3 mentioned that the inquiry before the stewards, Mr. Payne and Qolonol Forester, at York, bath expressed their belief that Jarvis had purchased the horse in ignorance of his real age, p:•oof to that effect having been adduced. Toni King, a,t ex-champion of the P.R.., who has of late been idontifie,d with Turf pursuits, was thrown oui of a trap at Abingdon on Thursday, and broke his are badly. Sundew, 2 yrs., was claimed at Abingdon on Frida3 fur Lord Vivian, end sho will join Dover's string al Esley. Mr. M. J. G. Quickfall his sold his steeplechase horse Blondin for 300 gs. to Mr. J. Brooks, to go abroad. Irswlctr, 1869.—The stewards for this meeting are the Hon. Admire! Rous, C. D. Alexander, Esq., and Colonel Wood. ORLETON.—It is intended to hwe a local meeting at Orloton, near Ludlow, ou the 15tb inst., and good sport is anticipated. Mr. Beadman purchased Musa at Warwick, and she ran in his colours at Abingdon, having joined J. Low's ttriug. Buckfoot, aged, was purchased by Mr. King on Monday last, and goes to the stud. The stewards elect for Abingdon meting, 1869, are Lord Vivian, Capt. Machell, and Mr. Theobald. EX CENSIVE FIRE AT SOUTIId.3IPTO.V. SOUTHAMPTON, Friday, 11 p.m. A very calamitous fire has occurred this evening in the extensive engine factories and workshops of the West India Royal Mail Company, situate in the docks. The fire was first discovered in the carpenters' workshop about eight o'cloc, and in a few minutes it spread with great rapidity, wrapping an immense portion of the building in flames. Engines of all descriptions were speedily on the spot, and assistance was rendered from all quarters, but for a long time with very little apparent effect. The Royal Engineers, the Marines and crew of her Majesty's ship Hector, and the Ist Ilants Volunteer Engineers were soon on the ground, and rendered great service. For more than two hours the fire raged with fearful fury, lighting up the whole town in one vast illumination. The most important parts of the factory are totally de stroyed, including the valuable plant of machinery, the patterns andmodels, the engineers' library, work men's tools, and other property, the value of which may be estimated by thousands of pounds. At one time the end of the large sugar factory which ad joins the premises caught fire and burnt with great rapidity, and for an hoar or more the total de struction of the whole building was seriously threat ened. At the time of writing this the fire is still burning within a given area, but any further exten sion is not probable. The cause of the fire cannot at present be ascertained. As far as is known no personal injury has occurred, although many men exposed themselves to great peril in their coura geous endeavours to arrest the flames. in two or three places the gas pipes melted, and the burning gas added to the flames, while several immense coal heaps, containing hundreds of tons, were a mass of fire. MARICE 7 S-7 HIS DAY. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Tho markets have a quiet tone this morning, and but little is passing in any department. Tho tone is, however, firm for most articles. The fine qualities of the now teas by the Ariel continuo to meet a steady sale, at prices vary ing up to .£3 lOs for small packages. Seed oils are rather firmer. English brown raps has advanced to 31s on the spot. TRAINING REPORTS. BECKHAMPTON.--0 a Thursday morning, at eight o'clock, Woolcot brought out a toani of a dozen, including Hunts man, Stradbroke, Saladin, Selencus, Bretby, colt by King of Trumps out of Nightingale, Miuna Troil, Eudora, Janet Ilaweliffe, Formosa, Socrates, and another I did not know, but the two latter were walking only, by themselves away from the string. I must say I was very much pleased with the improvement Formosa' has made, as she has both grown taller and thicker, and her coat shines like a bit of satin. She looks in the pink of condition, and great credit is due to Woolcot. Having had a good gallop the previous day, she had only two nice canters of about ha:f a mile the first time, and the second of about a mile, going beautifully; in fact, she moves like a bit of machi nery, and as regards the St. Leger I think Formosa is sure to win. KINGSCLERE.-At Doncastor, for the Champagno Stakes, we have Sister to Itosicruciau, Siderolite, and King Co phetua, but by all I can learn we have no chance, and up to the time of writing I cannot say with any certainty what two year olds are going. Great Yorkshire Handi cap —The Palmer and Cotytto are engaged. The distance will not suit the first named. Cotytto will run. She is moderato, but may get a place. Clamber Plato—Vaga bond and The Palmer are in. The first named will not run, but the latter will be hard to beat. St. Leger—We shall not have anything run. IRICIIMOND.—OnThursday Brennus, Geaut des Batailles, and Valtz were put through the mill, Lord Zetland being present, and finished in the order named. The following are most likely to appear at Doncaker4—Mysotis, Snider, Bessie D ixon, Brennus, Geaut des Batailles, Lady Dewhurst, Dryad, Evelina, Virtue, Brother to Shibboleth, Rel Tub, Stella, colt by Carnival, Sweet Annie, Intricate, and Last Rose of Summer, who are al fit and well. In the Cham pagne Stakes are Valtz and Dryad, but they do not stand a great chance. Great Yorkshire handicap. —Bessie Dixon and Rel Tub are in, but they are only moderate. Bessie Dixon I think will be the best. Clamber Plate.—Bren nus will win. In the Leger wo have Chelsea, Buttercup, Circe, Adamant, colt by Newminstor out of Entremet, colt by Newminster out of Diomedia, Virtue, Sawyer, and Geant des Batailles entered. The first-named six are not likely to see Doncaster. The last-mentioned three may run, and Virtue I hold to be the best, and yet not good enough to get a place. STOCKBILIDGE.—Ou Friday the following had a canter of about a mile : —Samson, Border Knight, Rowallan, Lopez, Standard Bearer, Arbaces, Bonnie Lass, Iberia, Beata, Scottish Queen, Lady Dupplin, Crucifixion filly, and Athena. The others all walked ; and then Samson led Arbaces, Lopez, Rowallan, Bonnie Lass, Iberia, 'Beata, Scottish Queen, and Crucifixion filly a good gallop of nearly a mile. Athena went a mile and three-quarters by herself, and she goes remarkably well now ; in fact, 1 never saw her go better. Ido not think we shall have many to go to Doncaster. NEWMARKET.—In the Groat Yorkshire Handicap we have only two accepted, namely, Hippia and Nyanza. The latter went a real good sweat on Wednesday; in fact, both are well and fit to go, but I must have Nyanza for choice. Champagne Stakes.—Alpenstock has not of late been doing much. Hinton you have seen out this week. Ismael is a very sound useful colt and a good goer, but I am told he only got second to Regula in a trial they had last Sun day. The Iferznione colt has only done very gentle work of late, and is not fit. St. Leger.—l fear we shall not be very well, if at all, represented. The chance of Typhoeus I don't at all like. St. Ronan I hardly think will run, as I am of opinion he will be kept for one of the short races. Restitution has no chance, and I should say will not run. Kettleholder does some good work, but is not likely to start. LAmnounNE.—At Doncaster, Belladium, North Briton, Thirlestano, and Plenipotentiary are in the Champagne Stakes, but I should think that only Belladrum will run, and as he has been doing well, going in his old form, I don't see anything to beat him, Filly Stakes.—Crocus, I think, is sure to win. St. Leger.—The Don, Cawdor, The Parson, Phoebus, Sunstroke, Glenderg, Patrician, and Mexico are in, and ;should there be a runner, of "'AY.

BO W-STREET. TIIE FRAUD ON THE INLAND REVENUE.—Sydney Charles Jackson, pawnbroker's assistant, was placed at the bar charged with being concerned in the fraud on the Inland Revenue which has lately been discovered. It will be recollected that a man named lkfbnk is at present under remand on a charge of fraudu lently transposing certain stamps whereby a number of cancelled foreign bill stamps were made to ap pear as new and genuine stamps, ranging from ss. to £1 each. The frauds were accomplished by re moving the Queen's head from a new penny stamp, placing it neatly over the cancelled mark on the old one. The trick had been most perfectly per formed, and it is feared that it has been carried on to some considerable extent. Police Sergeant Kerley stiid, consequeace of certain directions h.; that morning, went to Ilford gaol, and there, on the prisoner leaving it, ho arrested him, and toll him the charge against him, namely, transposing stamps with intent to defraud the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. lie said he could tell where he got the stamps from. Ile ob tained them from a man named Mark, who stopped him at the corner of Bryan-place, Caledonian-road, and said he had just had some money left him, part of which was in stamps. He gave him the stamps produced, and asked him to pawn them after which he (prisoner) took them to some paw n _ brokers in the borough, who refused to have any thing to do with them. He afterwards went to a jeweller's in WhitechapA and purchased a watch, and he also obtained another watch under similar circumstances in the Whitechapel-road, and then handed up the ticket. With the remainder of stamps he purchased some clothes at Mr. Moses's, Isling ton-green. He (witness) asked him if he had known the man Monk before, and he replied that he had seen him some time previous at the shop of his (prisoner's) master, Mr. Mallett, a pawnbroker in the Caledonian-road. He (prisoner) had iden- tified Muck as the person from whom he had received the stamps. On searching him he found the card of the tradesman of whom he had bought the watch and chain. Some other pawn brokers' tickets were found in his pockets. Inspector Brennan produced a number of frau dulent stamps, which ha had received from Mr. Harris, one of the tradesmen of whom he had bought the watch and chain. Prisoner was remanded for a week, when he will be placed at the bar in company with Monk. MARLBORO UGII-STREET. DARING ROBBEV.— Henry King, address refused, but describing himself as a clerk, was charged be fore Mr. Knox with stealing from the person of Mr. Christian Olifiers, a merchant residing at No. 4, Devonshire-terrace, Kingsland-green, a gold watch and chain of the value of £l3. When the prisoner was taken into custody a sham watch, known by the slang of a" Spide," was found in his possession. Mr. Olitiers, a Dutch merchant, said about 12 o'clock last night he was in Regent-street, when prisoner ran up and tore his watch and chain away d ran off. Ile cried " Stop thief," and the police stopped him and brought him back. The robbery was an instantaneous one, and done very cleverly. The police acted so well in the matter that he should like to leave them some thing, so that their meritorious conduct might be mentioned in the papers. Mr Knox asked Inspector Basoa what was the usual course? Inspector Bason said the constables might receive a reward, but would have to report the circum stance to the commissioners of police. Police-constable Tyler, 52 C, said that hearing a cry of " Stop thief," and seeing the prisoner runs fling, he stopped him, when he said that it was only a lark. He took the prisoner into custody, and found the watch in his hand. Police-constable Weeks, 50 C R, said that while with Tyler he saw the prisoner put his hand up his back and drop the watch. The prisoner said he was a fool to have gone the way he did, and that he had better taken the park. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, and desired that he might be well looked after. Mr. Olitiers handed a sovereign to Mr. Inspector Bason for the constables. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and Now Zealand, via Southampton See. 12.
