The general tendency of the trade is better. The country markets are in some cases is to 2s better on the week, but there is more doing at the decline, and th 3 tone firmer ; this is more particularly the case at the im porting markets. At Mark-lane to-day there was a fair attendance, and a firmer tone than on Friday was perceptible. English wheat was in only moderate supply, and with more inquiry, at about ls. under last Monday's rates, and this decline was not in all cases conceded. Foreign wheat was not offered on any extra terms, the quantity ou the stands being moderate. Sales opeued . . The flour trade was quiet, and for country markets prices ranged barely up to those of this day se'nnight. Oats were in moderate supply and fair demand at the rates of last 31onday. . Barley—of which the quantity offeri❑g was moderate— sold ls. dearer. Beans moved off steady at quite as much money. Peas in steady request. Maize in better demand, and firm. Linseed dull. oa cakes meet rather more inquiry. NEWGATE AND LEIDENIiALL.

Eggs are stea•ly in value at the late decline. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The aspect of the trade was again altered to-day. The supplies wore light, the accounts from the different m•ar kets encluraging, and the trade altogether more cheerful, with advancing prices. Of beasts there were 4,400, including 901 English, 59 Scotch, 280 Irish, and the remain ler were foreign. The demand was brisk for all descriptions of beef, and prices rose fully 2.1 per stone, making 5s 8d the quoted price. Of sheep and lambs there were 24,000, the proportion of foreign being moderate, the trade ruled firma for both, with a good demand. Of calves 216 came to market. There was a brisk com petition for choice, and advanced rates wore obtained. The number of pigs o❑ sale was 320, and they sell more readily at quotations. COLONIAL. AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.

RAILROAD PROGRESS IN NEW YORK STATE. — Among the most important enterprises now under way in this State are the Rondout and Oswego R iilroad, 85 miles ; the Southern Central, from Fair Haven, on Lake Ontario, via Auburn to Oswego, 98 miles ; the New York and Oswego Midland, 240 miles; a line across the State at Utica to Binghamptou, now partly made up of the Utica and Black River Railroad, and the Utica, Chenango, and Susquehanna Valley Railroad, and of which about 85 miles are completed, and 70 miles remain to be constructed. Another road is the projected line along the west side of the Hud son, 145 miles. Besides there is a great variety of minor lines, in which Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and other important towns are interested, and which are desigtled to advance the prosperity and and develope the resources of the sections in which they are to be constructed. L. F. Root, of Westfield, Massachusetts, and for the past six or seven years road-master and civil .engineer of the Canal Railroad, has gone with a full engineering party to fill the post of division engineer on the Union Pacific Railroad, near Salt Lake. • The projected railroad to connect Buffalo with the Pennsylvania coal fields is called the " Buffalo and Southern Railroad." This road will commence with the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, at or near the Levant, where the Dunkirk, Warren, and Pittsburgh Railroad intersects the same, and in connection therewith will make a direct route from Buffalo to Warren, Pa., distance about 76 miles.

L.ireat Di MONDAir ~EVENING, SIPTrISIBER 14, 1868. 2.114.. BUTT. ON - 271 E. li3SH LIND iJT C>: Last week we gave a grief notice of the lecture delivered by Mr. Butt, at the Threatre Royal, Limerick, on the subject of tenant right. The im portance of the question at the preseat moment, as well as the masterly manner in which it was treated by the learned lecturer, is our excuse for reproduc ing it at greater length than we were able to do last week. The greatest interest was manifested by the gentry of Cork, Kerry, Clare, Tipperary, an the county of Limerick itself in the lecture, every part of the capacious building being thronged by an eager audienca, who showed that to them the question was scarcely s:cond in importance to the disestablishment of the Irish Church : Mr. Burr, Q.C., on coming forward, was re ceived with most enthusiastic cheering, again and again renewed. When silence was restored he said —Mr. Chairman, and ladies and gentlemen, in ap proaching the great subject which I have un dertaken to bring before you this evening, it would be mere affectation to say that it is one of vital importance to this country. The question is one that touches our very national life, and we all know and feel that. I believe no one who thinks calmly on the question but will admit that insecurity of tenure lies at the root and foundation of all the evils connected with the land system in Ireland. (Cheers.) Of course, too, this must be considered with reference to the circumstances of the country—its circumstances, social, political, and economical. But these are very much ques tions of fact; and, therefore, it is a great advan tage to me in the views I advocate of being able to appeal to your testimony—addressing, as I am doing, representatives from the different localities of three great agricultural counties. (Applause.) First, then, I say, that as a general rule the occu piers of land in Ireland do not hold their farms at any higher tenure than that of tenants from year to year. (Applause.) Leases are the exception. (Hear, hear.) Is that so? (Cheering, and cries "It is.") I believe that fact is beginning to be per fectly appreciated by public opinion. Now, let me make this observation :—That this is a new state of things that has grown up within the present cen tury. Probably in the memory of many here leases were the rule in Ireland—(hear, hear)--and it was considered as a matter of course that when an estate fell out of lease new leases should be given. It would detain us too long to inquire into the causes which have wrought the change. They are social, political, and economical. The introduction of the poor law, for instance, in the words of the late Sir Matthew Barrington, made the landlords of Ireland determine, in many instances, to clear the estates to escape the heavy imposts they anticipated on their property. Political feeling has also led to the eviction of tenants. The progress of wealth and free trade, too, has made many landlords consider that they will be able to get a better return for their land hereafter, and has thus induced them to re fuse their tenaets leases. But no matter what has been the cause, the fact is incoatestible, that for the first time in the history of Ireland leases are now the exception. We are, therefore, dealing with an entirely new state of facts. I would also say, the landed proprietors of Ireland have entered into a combination— a t all events they act in concert—in compelling their tenantry to hold from year to year without the security of a lease. (Cheers.) What is the effect of this ? I say that it is—useless it is controlled by public opinion, and, 1 regret to be obliged to say, uncontrolled often by fear of the " wild justice of revenge"—(cheers)—it is to place the tenant in the absolute power and dominion of the landlord. It would be idle to quote authorities to prove this. The man in Ire land who is evicted from his farm has nothing else to turn to, and therefore the power of arbitrary eviction resting in the landlord gives him absolute power over the very life and existence of his tenant. (Cheers). It is a fact that every year most of the landlords of Ireland have the absolute power of turn ing their tenantry naked on the world, and it only depends on themselves whether they will exercise that power or not—whether they will thus reduce men, women, and children, who are one day comfort able and happy, to beggary, ruin, and exile, the next. (Cheers.) And if the landlord chooses to exert that power, remember this—that all the power of the State is at his command to enforce his decree. No matter how cruel the eviction —no matter with what cir cumstances of injustice it may be accompanied, the landlord can command the services of the soldiery and police of the country to enforce his command and drive his tenautry from their houses. (Oh, oh, and a voice " Scully," followed by prolonged groaning.) And more than that—by the law of the land every one of us—except some of my reve rend friends here, who from their sacred profession would be exempt from such a service—would be bound by the law of the laud, if he were called on, to assist in evicting Mr. Scully's tenants. (Great groaning.) I mention this because when people talk of not Interfering with the rights of property, in their most extreme and unjust exercise, are en forced by the power of the State, which further more demands of you and me to aid an eviction if called on. (Cheers.) The man who refuses to go with the sheriff when he calls out the posse comitat us can b e punished for it by the law of the land. Now this, remember, is a matter of fact. And it is a matter of fact that the great majority of the tenants of Ireland have no other interest in their farms than one year's possession, and just as much more as the landlord may choose to give them. (Cheers.) We must, then, ask who are the people that have this power, and who are those who are subject to it ? The owners of the Soil in Ireland are generally cal culated at 10,000. We know accurately that the tenant farmers are about 500,000. There are about 600,000 te nements i n I re l an d , an d ta ki ng one-sixth of these as representing the holders of town tenements and large holdings, we have half a million representing the tillers of the soil. Now, 10,000 is too large a calculation for the persons ac tually landlords, though that would only give about 300 to each county, But when I speak of land lords I mean those in actual exercise of a landlord's power and rights ; and making the necessary deduc tions from the number I have given to make this limitation, I think I may say that the great majo rity of the tenant farmers of Ireland are subject to an absolute serfdom—l believe a serfdom more terrible than ever existed for the serf of the feudal times, when the landlord chooses to exercise his utmost rights —to practically about 5,000 land lords. And, as regards these tenants, if you take the families of holders and farm labourers—l am not, I think, mistaken in putting down five in each family under these denominations, and thus you have two and a half millions of the popula tion of Ireland absolutely dependent for their ex istence upon the will and pleasure of little more than 5,000 people. (Cheers.) He believed evic tions for political causes were less frequent now than they once were, but simply because of the in creased conviction as to the strength and power of the landlord, which would not let a tenant brave him if he felt inclined. As to evictions for social causes, Mr. Kaye, in his book, had recorded that there were, in the year 1849, 50,000 evictions in Ireland. He himself had never been able to verify this statement if he had not authority ; and he was perfectly certain that all the horrors and deso lation of the Cromwelliau wars did not bring as many human beings to misery as did those evic tions. With regard to evictions for violating the rules of the estate, he narrated a case in which tenants on the Lansdowne estate, county Kerry, were tried for the murder of a boy on one occasion, at the Tralee assizes, before Chief Baron Pigott. On the trial it was revealed that these people drove the boy from their door in the night, and struck the blow that caused his death, from fear of violating a rule of the estate, not to har bour such persons. Mr. Butt dwelt on the horrible tendency of such rules, when they produced such effects as this. He also mentioned the case of a widow lady—a lady though the widow of a tenant farmer—(cheers) —against whom on another estate an eviction had been sought to be enforced for har bouring her daughter-in-law contrary to the rules of the estate, one of which forbade marriage in cer tain cases. Ile Meucci to another case that had bc n preLlnional eaTerietice, whore it transpired that a landlord was in the habit - of . serving every year 200 or 300 notices to quit— not to get possession of the farms, but to arrange them as he thought fit, without be'ng miler any compliment to the tenants. He adverted at some length to the Derryveagh evictions in Donegal, on the estate of Mr. Adare, where, because the land lord took into his head that the tenants had some knowledge of the parties guilty of the murder of his steward, he turned out 340 human beings—a whole country side—on the roadside, without food or shelter. With regard to that question of emi gi wion, a great mistake was made by some persons upholding extreme landlord rights. Nobody ever said it was the peopi.e evicted who go to America, but the people who dread eviction—(hear, hear) — and it was, therefore, no answer to say that emi gration was not caused by evictions. It was they who felt themselves falling who went. (Hear, hear.) The slight decrease in the emigration re cently alluded to by the Duke of Abercorn at Derry he (Mr. Butt) believed was caused by a reviving hope that Parliament may do something to secure their holdings to the tenants—(cheers) ; and it was just one of the reasons why he had felt a hesitation in coming there that evening, or in taking part in any political action in Ireland, because ho was afraid of being a party to exciting hopes in the people that may again be doomed to disappoint ment. lie would not be telling the whole truth if he did not say also that the emigration had been stayed by a dangerous reliance. by the people upon a hope of coming deliverance, not by con stitutional means; and very many were waiting only to see whether it comes or not. (Cheers.) If these hopes wire disappointed—if the Legislature put no check upon the arbitrary power of the land lord, and another attempted insurrection had to be crushed—and that one would be crushed, if it were crushed in blood—(immense cheering)—they would see an exodus from Ireland compared with which all they had seen was but trifling. The spectacle would be that of a God-like people, who, leaving their temples and shaking the dust from their feet, would say, "Let us arise, and let us go hence ;" and then Europe would be startled by the wail of a nation that left its curse to its oppressors. (Ap plause.) He knew there were people who would say—Let them go, and let Englishmen take their place. Did they think the Irish would submit to that--(no, no) —or that when they went they would not carry with them feelings of vengeance? (A Voice : And come back.) And come back. (Hear, hear.) The cost of adapting the Irish soil to the condition in which the English people would take it was variously estimated ; and be entered into a calculation by which he estimated the cost of £150,000,000. If that game were tried and successfully—God forbid it should—the result would be that the landlords would perish in the same ruin with the tenants ; for they could not withdraw the mass that supported the building, and not shake its summit. (Hear, hear.) It occurred before in 1847. Don't talk to him of English capital. As Bishop Keane had said the true capital was in the heaven-made machine— the strong arm, the willing heart, and the bright intellect that God had given to man to reclaim the soil. (Loud cheers.) It was with that capital whatever improvements had been made in Ireland had been made ; and if they were to have improve ment in Ireland they must give the tenants security. (Applause.) The conclusion he had arrived at, after long, prudent, careful—and if he knew him self in his own heart, after honest consideration— (hear, hear)—was this :—He proposed that every occupier got a lease for sixty-three years, at a fair rent to be ascertained by valuation. (Hear, hear.) lie should bind himself not to injure his landlord's property by any improper cultivation—not subdi vide without his landlord's consent—be liable to eviction if he did not pay his rent—but, subject to that, be should hold his land against his landlord. If any accidental circumstance raised the value of the farm independent of the tenants' improvements, there should be a scale, such as that by which tithe rent-charge was ascertained, by which the benefit would be given to the landlord. (Applause. That was his proposal, and he would abide by it. He thought it the best bargain the landlords could make. He denied that any man had a right of property in the land in the sense that he could hold it against the good of the people; and he believed there was no landed property in Ireland which was not held upon the express conditions of placing the tenantry with long leases upon it. When King James confiscated the counties of Ulster, he con ferred them again on the express condition that natives should tenant them for estates of lives, or for years, or in fee simple ; and that was the foun dation of the tenant right in the north of which they heard so much. When the owners of the land sought to violate that tenant right in 1770, the people rose in arms to resist it ; there were special commissions to try the insurgents, but the jurors being of their own class would not convict them. Since then no attempt had been made to destroy the tenant-right of the North, and hence its prosperity. (Cheers.) Bat the lands of Munster were granted on similar condi tions, and when the tenant-right was there violated the Roman Catholic population was held down by penal laws, and they had not the power to resist the injustice. Let no man then tell him it was differ ence of race or religion that caused the difference in point of prosperity between the North and South of Ireland. it was tenant right—security of tenure, and that training from early childhood in a feeling of independence. (Cheers.) Concluding his lec ture Mr. Butt said one day or other by some means the serfdom of the Irish nation will come to an end. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) The mighty voice of mankind proclaims all over Europe and in Ame rica that slavery is broken down—even in the wild steppes of Russia the voice of a despot has declared serfdom abolished ; aud in the course of events, sooner or later, peacefully or by violence, freedom will come to the serfs of Ireland. (Enthusiastic applause.) I hope it will come peacefully ; and if anything I have said to-night—or any labour I have taken upon me in endeavouring to point public at tention to this great question, contributes to its right and just solution, I certainly shall feel I have not laboured in vain. Mr. Butt resumed his seat amid immense and prolonged applause. The Rev. Dr. Drew, Rector of Loughinisland, has addressed the following letter to Mr. Butt, Q.C., in reference to the above lecture Dundrum, Clough, County Down, September 7. "' My dear Butt,—lf every other man in the world entertained doubts of my sincerity, you, at least, would give me credit for honesty and just in tentions. I write to you accordingly, because my mind has been stirred in its inmost depths by the perusal of your address in my native city of Lime rick. I do not regard the subject of your address as a political one. It ought to be regarded solely as a question of humanity, justice, common sense, and common honesty. I wish my lot had never been cast in rural places. As a clergyman, I hear what neither landlords nor agents never hear. I see the depression of the people; their sighs and groans are before me. They are brought so low as often to praise and glorify those who, in their secret hearts, are the objects of abhorrence. All this came out gradually before me. Nor did I feel as I ought to feel in their behalf until, in my own person and purse, I became the victim of a system of tyranny which cries from earth to Heaven for relief. Were I to narrate my own story it would startle many of the Protestants of Ireland. There are good land lords—never a better than the late Lord Down shire or the living and beloved Lord Roden. But there are too many of another state of feeling and action. There are estates in the north where the screw is never withdrawn from its circuitous and oppressive work. Tenant-right is an unfortunate and delusive affair, simply because it is almost invariably used to the landlord's advantage. Here we have an election ,in prospect, and in many counties no farmer will be permitted to think or act for him self. What right any one man has to demand the surrender of another's vote I never could see. It is an act of sheer felony—a perfect stand and de liver' affair. To hear a man slavishly and timor ously say, ' I must give my votes as the landlord is an afimssion that the Lagisiature which bestowed the' right 61 - voting on the tenant should not see him robbed of his right, or subsequently scourged or banished from home and laud bee tuse he disregarded a landlord's nod or the menaces of a land agent. At no little hazard of loSing the friend ship of some who are high, and good, and kind, I write as I now do.—Yours, my dear Butt, very sin cerely, " THOMAS DREW." 7'HE IVES? MINSTER REGIS? 11.1.770. V. (THIS DAY.) Mr. Senior, the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the city of Westminster, opened his court this morning, in the Lords' Justices Court, Westminster Hall. Air. Norman was the Liberal agent, Mr. Walter Noakes and Capt. Armstrong for the Conservatives, and Mr. Moon supported the lodger claiMents. The preliminaries having been arranged, it was decided to take the householders first and the lodger claimants after. The parish of St. Ann's, Soho, was first taken. 4/ 0 . THE WOMAN FRANCHISE. Hannah Bainbridge claimA to have her name placed on tho list of voters, which claim was sup ported by Mr. Norman. The Revising Barrister said he should disallow the claim, because it seemed to him quite clear that the Legislature never intended to give the franchise to females. Mr. Norman said it was a case for the decision of a superior court. He contended that the claimant was entitled under the 13th and 14th Victoria, the interpretation clause of which clearly laid it down that the term person should be taken to include both male and female. The Revising Batrister was of opinion that the claim could not be admitted on those grounds. When Mr. Mill proposed to the House of Commons to give the elective franchise to females it distinctly refused its sanction to such a proposal. He there fore should expunge the name. Mr. Norman then gave notice of appeal, in order that the case might be fully argued in one of the superior courts. The Revising Barrister said notice of appear must be lodged before the rising of the court. THE LODGER FRANCHISE. The first claim that raised any question was that of Mr. William Adderton, of 57, Wardour-street. Mr. Norman objected to the claim on the ground that as the claimant was not present, the attesting witness had not sufficient knowledge of him to prove the claim. Mr. Armisted, the attesting witness, said he had seen a number of persons sign their claims at the Black Swan public-house, on which occasion they each produced their rent books, and the claimant was one amongst them. The Revising Barrist•?,r said where the claimant was pot personally present an not represented by a person who had a full knowledge of hi:n he should disallow the claim. Mr. Norman hoped the claim would not be struck out, but that it might be adjourned, as well as all those claimants which stood in pr,2cisely the same position. Another parish could easily be proceeded with. • Mr. Noakes said there were a great number of persons present, and it wai too much to ask that those who hid attended to their business should ba inconvenienced for those who did not. A number of persons expressed great dissati,fac tion at the proposal to go on with the claims of other parishes in preference to that of St. Ann's. Amongst them one person made himself heard, and said he was loosing Bd. an hour all the time•he was being kept waiting to prove his claim. The Revising Barrister sail he would proceed with St. Ann's parish, but he should disallow the claim under consideration, on the ground that the attesting witness had no personal knowledge of the claimant. Mr. Norman gave notice of appeal. Mr. Noakes said before they proceeded further he thought it had bettar be settled what was " a lodger." The Revising Barrister—That has been very clearly set out. Mr. Noakes was glad to hear it, awl no farther time nee .I be lost on that point. The next thing to be sAtled was what was the lowest rent that would confer the franchise. The Revising Barrister said that also had been pretty clearly made known —a rental of 4s. a week. Mr. Noakes held that that was insufficient. Several persons—Why its £lO 8s a year. Mr. Noakes contended 4s. was insufficient unless it was clear of all rates. The Revising Barrister said lodgers did not pay rates. Ile thought if a man paid 4s. a week for an unfurnished room he was entitled to the franchise. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Noakes—That was 210 per annum, clear of all parochial rates that would attach to those who paid the rent. But then there were the water and gas ; deductions would have to be made for each of those. The Revising Barrister said those deductions would have to be made, but then he thought it was not worth while losing time iu disposing of objections which at present were merely imaginary. It would be a great deal better not to raise those points until one actuallyoccurred. He bad stated his opinio❑ that those persons who occupied apartments of the clear annual value of £lO, after all deduction had been made, were entitled to the franchise according to the last Reform Act, and that being so, it would not be wise to occupy the time of the court with discussions on imaginary difficulties. Several claimants who attended personally, and proved their right to the franchise by the occupa tion of apartments of the annual value of £lO, were then placed on the list of voters by the revising bar rister. The revision will occupy some days. THE SCRATCHING OF THE EARL.—Bell's Life, after quot ing Mr. Padwick's letter to the Stewards of the Jockey Club, which has appeared in the Express, requesting an investigation into the circumstances connected with the striking of the Earl out of the St. Leger list, makes the following remarks—" This application, we are glad to say, has been granted, and a Court of Inquiry' will be held at Newmarket iu the First October Meeting, when the whole affair of the mysterious betting about The Earl, as well as the causes which led to his being scratched, will be gone into. In consequence of Admiral Rous being the defendant in the action "Day v. Eons," we understand Mr. Lowther has been deputed to act for him, and General Peel, it is also rumoured, is to be ono of Mr. Lowther's colleagues. All we trust is that the inquiry will be as searching as possible, and the saddle placed on the right horse, for if The Earl has been used for no other purpose than an instrument of gaming the sooner the operators are exposed, punished, and held up to the world the better it will be for the interests of the turf." ACCIDENTAL POISONING IN YORKSHIRE.—The East Riding coroner held a very painful investigation at Drax, on Thursday afternoon, relative to the mysterious deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Coulson, of Drax Hall, who died from the effects of poison the previous day. From investi gation and post mortem examination it appeared that the deceased were poisoned by partaking, when in a weak state of health, of apple dumpling made of putrid suet, which had been chopped and salted four months ago. The stronger constitution of the servant girl, who had also eaten of the pudding, enabled her to recover. This was shown by medical testimony. and the jury found a verdict in accordance. The case has been quite a cause dare in the district, and the wildest rumours were afloat, all of which are set at rest by the result of the inquest. MUSICAL ITEMS.—The celebrated Wachtel is about to settle in Wiesbaden at the "Villa Blomberg." M. Capoul, the tenor of the Opera Comique, has expended £lO,OOO in the purchase of a chateau. M. Ascher, the well known pianoforte p!ayer and composer, is said to have become an inmate of a lunatic asylum.— Musical Standard. ABORIGINAL SPORTS.—At an exhibition of native AustraiLut sports by the aboriginal cricketers, at Bottle, near Liverpool, on Saturday, a boomerang, thrown by Alollagb, was carried by the wind among the audience. It struck a gentleman on the head, the brim of the hat saving the face from severe laceration. As it was, the boomerang cut through the hat and inflicted a severe wound across the brow. Surgical aid was at once procured, and the gentleman was able to return home.

The publication of acceptances for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire has given riso to some animated betting. Blue Gown has been electA favourite for th: Cesarewitch in place of Eastley; but Blueskiu, The Special, Warring ton, Priponnier, Beeswing, Cecil, Ilium, Paul Jones, The Spy, and Suffolk, have each been in force. Eastley is at the absurdly low price of 10 to 1 for the Cambridgeshire, which race will be better understood when the Cesare witch is decided than it is at present. In due course we shall thoroughly analyse tlise handicaps ; but at present it would be primaturo to express decided opinions, though we may remark that The Special has been very leniently handicapped in the Cesarewitch, and Skylark in the Cam bridgeshire. _ _ There are nearly a dozen meetings—good, bad, and in different—in the list of fixtures for next week; but Rich mond, Kelso, Monmouth, and Manchester are all that de mand notice. For the Richmond Meeting, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Mr. Craggs has published an average list, in which them are fourteen races, and twelve of these are complete. There are twelve acceptances for the Rich mond Handicap (about 11 miles), and the weights range from Strathconan, Bst 121 b, to Catterick, sst 71b. The "gallant grey," who has been lame, will not run, and in his absence the race will fall to Mr. Johnstone's re presentative, The Dean or Minster Bell, whose most dan gerous opponent may turn up in Flora. For the Rich mond Cup (Grey Stone in) twenty-four horses have been nominated, and it will be secured by Watson's selected, probably Last Rose of Summer, who would have won the Portland Plate at Doncaster had she got fairly away from the starting post. In the Members' Plate (1 mile) Wat son's stable again reads formidable, but it is on the cords for its best representative to be defeated by Mysotis. To the Sapling Stakes (Grey Stone in) there are twenty-two nominations, the pick of which are The Egean, Lord Hawthorn, Hector, Number Nip, Snider, and Brennus. The .lEgean is not likely to be sent so far north ; and in his presumed absence Lord Hawthorn or Number Nip will be victorious. The Easby Stakes (Grey Stone in) will be won by Mr. Johnstone's best, Hymen or Lord Hawthorn, though Watson will be bad to beat, seeing that he has Retort, Hector, Number Nip, and Lord Bothwell to select from. On Wednesday only eight horses have accepted for the Burton Handicap (11 miles), and if Frolicsome can beat Flora she will be hailed the winner. Twenty-seven juveniles have been weighted for the Belsay Castle Nursery (Grey Stone in), and of these we prefer Lord Bothwell and Brother to Shibboleth. The Wright Stakes (Grey Stone in) will end in a match between Dryad and Lord Hawthorn, as el:gezin and Master Tom, who are the best of the candidates nominated agaiust them, are not likely to run. The Kelso Meeting, which is one of the best and mcst popular of the Scotch gatherings, will be celebrated on Wednesday and Thursday. For this meeting Mr. Usher's programme is of respectable dimensions, and the principal closed features therein are the Roxburghe Handicap, the Welter Cup, the Kelso Plate, the Border Handicap, and the Nursery Handicap. In the Roaburghe Handicap (lf miles) thitteen owners are satisfied with the imposts allotted to their horses. Those most favourably weighted are Vet ulam, 7st lelb ; Armourer, est 121 b ; Sunstroke, bat 71b; au I Peganini, Get. Verulara, if he can stay the course, will run creditably ; but he is not so well in as Pagauini and Armourer, the better of whom will be successful. There is a lengthy entry for the Kelso Plato (one mile), and the most noteworthy amongst the horses handicapped for it are King's Cross, Bst 11b ; Victress, ist 81b ; Stella, est 71b; Harmony, 6st 71b; and Geod Hope, sst 101 b. The last-named, when in his best humour, is a smart colt; but as he is rather uncertain, we shall trust to Harmony and Victress. The best of the horses engaged iu the Welter Cup(l miles), are the Priest, list 131 b; The Rap, 10st 91b; Safety, lOst 91b; and Citron, 10et 51b. Of these Safety is decidedly best in; but as she may be re served for a later and more important engagement, the most reliable pair here are The Priest and The Rap. Only six horses have accepted for the Border Handicap (two miles), and they are so moderate that Verulam will win, if he can defeat Booty. The Nursery Handicap (4 fur longs) has been well patronised, and the horses that ap pear best in are colt by The Cure out of English Rose, 7st ; Bard of Erin, Cat 101 b; Moscow, Est 21b; and Hunter, Gat. Moscow is a remarkably good-looking horse ; but for this event wo believe he will succumb to the English Rose colt and Bard of Erin, one of whom is likele to win. The Monmouth Mocting, which is a pleasant one to those individuals who love romantic scenery as well as racing, will take place on Thursday and Friday. The principal races in the list are ,the Beaufort Cup, the Chip penham Stakes, the Monmouthshire Handicap, and the Somerset Plate. From the 12 horses handicapped for the Beaufort Cup (1; miles), Lord Ronald has only to fear Wronghton. The Chippenham Stakes (6 furlongs) should be won by Mr. Cartwright's representative, although he may be opposed by Sir Oliver, Wamba, Lute, and the filly by Atherstone out of lone. In the Monmouthshire Stakes (1 mile 6 furlongs), fifteen horses have been engaged, and Papillon and Aettea should about win. With few excep tions, the same horses have been named for the Somerset Plate as we find in the Chippenham Stakes on the first day. Consequently the running in the latter race will clearly foreshadow the result in the Somerset Plate. For the Manchester Autumn Meeting, on Friday and Saturday, Mr. Johnson has issued a capital list, in which there are twelve races. Ten of these are completed, leaving the Irwell and Scurry Stakes to be entered for the evenings previous to running. For the Manchester Cup (li miles) sixteen horses have been entered, and the best looking of the lot are—Success, Bst 71b ; Fairwind, 7st 101 b; and The Sawyer, 7st 41b. Between Fairwind and Suc cess, who have been very closely handicapped, it will be a fine point ; but we have the least preference for Fair wind, who may be closely pressed by The Sawyer—a good horse over this course. The Chesterfield Handicap (5 furlongs', we assign to Soubrette or Retort, though Kicksoy-Wicksey and Maggie read dangerous. In the Trial Handicap (6 furlongs) The Returned and Elvire have none the worst of the weights; neither have Wyunstay and Man of Ross in the Salford Plate (1 mile.) Dryad has been struck out of the Maiden Plato (6 fur longs) which leaves this race at the mercy of Di Spanker, On Saturday the Northern Metropolitan Han dicap (11 miles) will give rise to an interesting raw, if Fairwind, Bst 21b; Edinburgh, Bst 101 b; The Sawyer, 7st 81b; and Newland, 7st 111 b, meet. Fair wind, should he win the Manchester Cup on Friday, will be put out of court by a 101 b penalty, and therefore at the time of writing Watson's representative, Newland or The Sawyer, may hit the winning mark. The Stamford Plate (4 furlongs) has attracted a capital entry, no fewer than forty horses having been handicapped for it. Wadlow's stable is generally formidable in these short races ; but on this occasion the Stanton representative will not beat Lady Zetland, Bst; Evelina, 7st 71b; Pantaloon, 7st 41b ; and Jessie Flower, 7st. These are the pick of the handi cap, and Evelina ought to win, judging by the brilliant form she displayed at Doncaster. The De Trafford Han dicap (I mile) we shall award to Affection ; the Juvenile Stakes (4 furlongs) to limn ; and the Soiling Handicap (6 furlongs) to Dutch Admiral or Miss Dayrell. A FRESH MAN.
