This case was resumed this morning, but the proceedings consisted of the speeches of counsel for the plaintiff, on the evidence they had brought forward to prove their case. They dwelt very strongly upon the evidence of Mrs. Lyon, who they contend plainly showed that the influence the defendant had obtained over her rendered her far from being a free agent. The lady had been imposed upon from beginning to end, and one of the learned counsel (Mr. Fisher) said that after Mrs. Lyon had declared the whole thing a swindle, the defendant had coolly written to her to ask her for a letter vouching for his personal honesty. Home Invariably addressed his letters to Mrs. Lyon as " My darling mother," and, in fact, he effected so complete an ascendancy over her that she became his tool, notwithstanding that he had written that he felt repugnant at h er attachment, although he had by his great attachment succeeded in getting so large a sum from her. Sh 3 was a lady who had the greatest affection for her husband whilst alive, and ;after his decease she seemed animated by the greatest desire to do all that he had. requested. The defendant found her to be a person of great susceptibility, and, finding she possessed great wealth, he set about obtaining an influence over her, which eventually he turned to his own personal advan ii bealsiev theed advan tage. Although he (Mr. Fisher) could not deny l a . ,t thatone time e w that Mrs. Lyon had given the money, she had be en se i d em up e ci h n a thatd told shehreera, vi rea l ly asoll impos e d i only mefium for restoring communication between her and her deceased husband, and it m • u believing that completely that had led her to do that which had given rise to the institution of the present suit. The case seems likely to go on for several days yet. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TMS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PP.ICKING TIIE GARTER." -- CHEATING A FOREIGNER.—Johann Emile, described as a printer's roller maker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with another not in custody in defrauding Louis Adolph Malaterre, a French tailor living in Marshall-street, Golden-square, of the sum of £3 4s in French money, by cheating him at a game called pricking the garter." After some evidence being given, Mr. Tyrwhitt (on the application of Police -constable George King, 76 D) remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. A REMARKABLY . INQUISITIVE TURN OF James Topson, described as a wood merchant, was charged under the following circumstances : John Besley, a foreman of painters, living at 55, Eceleston-place, said that at seven o'clock on Saturday evening he had occasion to go to a shop in Buckingham Palace-row, Pimlico, to varnish a revolving shutter. While he was doing it the defendant, who was drunk, with two companions, came up, and defendant pushed one of them up against the steps, upon which com plainant was standing, and also run up against them himself, and had it not been for seizing a bracket, complainant must have been thrown to the ground. In about an quarter of an hour after defendant and a companion returLed and commenced wiping his fingers down the varnish. Complainant told him to desist, or he would shove the varnish-brush in his face. De fendant put his hand on the varnish again, and upon complainant going to preve n t hi s doing it again defendant pushed him, and he then put the varnish brush on his face, and then defendant and his friend knocked him about. Defendant denied that he had assaulted the man as described or pushed any one against the steps. lie put his finger upon the wet varnish, and inquired whether it was " copal." Upon which complainant told him to go about his business. lie (defendant) put his finger on the varnish again,obscrving, " he thought it was copal," upon which the complainant thrust the brush in his face and varnished all his face and hair, and then a general struggle ensued. _ _ A policeman proved finding the complainant engaged with the defendant, who was drunk, and another man. Ile saw defendant strike complainant three or four times. Defendant denied this, and wished to be allowed to ask complainant a question. Mr. Arnold assented. Defendant—Did not I inquire whether it was copal varnish? Complainant—Yes, you did. Defendant—When I put my finier to it a second time, did I not say I thought it was ? Mr. Arnold—Yours must be a most inqui sitive turn of mind which could make you interfere in this way. I have no doubt you wont to the man and interfered to annoy him. You must pay a fine of 10s. or seven days, and en ter into recognisances for your good behaviour for three months. THAMES. There were 40 night charges heard this morning by Mr. Benson. A majority of them were " drunk and incapable," others were for committing wilful damage and assaults. Among the offeuders were three militia men iu uniform. Tha militia have lately swelled the number of offenders to a con siderable extent. Two of the militia were dis charged with a reprimand, and a third who had made use of very bad language was fined 2s. Gd. lie asked the magistrate to send to the barracks for the money, which Mr. Benson declined, and he was locked up. IIosPITAL BELIEF.—The number of medical and surgical cases relieved at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's inn -road, during the week ending April 25, was 3,122, of whom 1,113 were new cases. TnE Moons.—We still continue to receive excel lent accounts of the grouse prospects from the north western districts of Scotland. Beyond Loch Rannoch to the north-west, and beyond the Grampians in the same direction, the accounts are most favourable, not only as to the healthy condition of the birds, b ut as t o th e i r quan ti ty. To the eas t and north-east accounts aro most l y unsatisfac tory as to quantity, but there is no disease now anywhere. —Loud and Water. SHARE LIST. ORDINARY /SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways. Paid.

It commenced in the northern part of Worcestershire about noon, and rage d with considen.ble violence until five p.m., passing over part of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. Th e weather, which on Saturday morning was hot and fine, was yesterday much cooler, and there was a alight frost on Saturday night. THE IRISH CHURCH.—On Friday evening public meetings were held in Dundee, Stirling, and bander. B o solutions were unanimously adopted to &he effect that the Irish Church should be disestablished and disendowed ; that grants of money should be withdrawn from all reli gious denominations in Ireland; and that petitions em bodying these views be tranemitk4 to Parliament , CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Emus, SUNDAY, April 2G. " Disarmament " is tho word in every mouth. Is true ? What does it mean ? What will our Government do ? are the questions that one hears on all hands. It is noticed that the Prussian papers explain to-day's news by saying that the Government found it necessary to retrench in consequence of the dearness of provisions. In other words, Bismarck wishes it te, be , understood that he does not make the reductions in consequence of any representations on the part of France, but solely for domestic reasons. At the same time he lets it be seen that he is not afraid of France or of Austria, even though one country has reorganised its army and the other is about to do so. The truth is, that the disarmament does not amount to much. The Prussian military system enables an army to be placed on a war footing at the shortest notice, and granting furloughs means merely that the war is not expected at present. This, of course, is a favourable sign, since the longer the crisis is delayed the greater is the chance that it may be avoided. Another favourable symptom is the (unofficial) announce ment that M. Magne will not want to borrow more than the £17,400,000 at first spoken of. You will remember it was said a little while ago that our Finance Minister bad been deceived, and that the demands of Marshal Niel and Admiral Gennuilly made it incumbent upon bins to ask for more money than he at first mentioned, and that the discovery- had made him very angry. If he can do without it the inference will be that he has brought his colleagues to reason. This is the great subject of speculation. The optimists declare that there will be a reduction of a million sterling in the military estimates. I doubt it very much, for M. Magee himself is said to believe that war must come sooner or later, and that he differs only from Marshal Niel as to its proximity. In connection with this matter a singular anecdote is told. When the Ministers were before the Budget Com mission, Marshal Niel, while combating any reductions, said last year war was resolved upon for a whole week. M. llouher attempted to explain away- this avowal by saying " The Marshal is quite right ; war was resolved upon by Prussia." The Minister of War then saw how I indiscreet he had been, and added, :" Ye's, of course 'bv 71 1 • • Prussia." 76i.51 521 31 i(ri 9 1 3. 21 We have news from Luxembourg that great agitation has been caused there by the announced intention of start ing a French paper to support annexation to France. The matter gave rise to so much excitement that our Govern ment has promised to discountenance the project. Parisians are by no means in good humour just now with Italy. The enthusiastic reception given to the Princo of Prussia., " the conqueror of Salowa," is bitterly con trasted with the freezing silence in which Prince Napoleon has been received ; and there is much angry comment upon Italian ingratitude. Yet it was hardly to be expected that the Italians wouhl forget that it was French troops which kept them out of IZome last year, and that it was a French Minister who declared that they should never enter that city. DON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1868. -+---- THE FENIAN TRIALS AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-THIS DAY. Pale, haggard, and with the aspect or men completely worn out by excitement and anxiety, the four Fenian prison:TS —William Desmond, Timothy Desmond, Nicholas English, and Michael Barrett— took their places in the dock for the seventh time this morning. Eagerness to hear the charge of the Lord Chief Justice filled the Central Criminal Court long before the hour at which the proceed ings commenced, and numbers had to be refused admittance. Assoonas the learned judges arrived, the Attorney-General resumed his address to the jury, interrupted by the rising of the court on Saturday. lie first referred to the alibi attempted to be set up in the case of Barrett, pointed out how easy it was to set tip such.a defence, and how diffi cult it was to refute the evidence adduced to maintain it. In the present instance he believed it would be demonstrated beyond a don't, when the letter from Barrett when in prison at Millbaolc came to be scanned by the jury, triat the idea of the cc/0i emanated from Barrel t himself, and was intended to furnish the clue for the de fence now set up. Calling attention to the precise terms in which the letter was couched, the learned counsel pointed out that there was no intimation in the docu west that Mullins had introdneed the prisoner to Nl`Nulty. The story "now told was that N`Nulty, a journeyman shoemaker, had Barrett brought to his home by a friend named Mullins for the purpose of getting a small job done to his boots, which job Mullins, himself a shoemaker in the habit of doing repairs, was unable to perform. Was it not remarkable that Barrett, a man working on the quay, should have spent so much time on three distinct days in locating after the repair of his shots ? Was it not further remarkable that the quarrel said to have taken place between Barrett and M'Nulty should not have come to the knowledge, or have been heard of, by the two `men who came in and did the boots ? The only circumstance which these two witnesses remembered was the reading from the paper of the account of the explosion, and both of them were compelled to admit that they knew of the outrage in the early part of the day. Attention was then called to the evidence of the witness Peak, one of the men who professed to have assisted in mending the shoes, and it was contended that in the whole of - the time he was in the witness.box he Carefully' avbided speaking specifically to any. one incident , that occurred during the, slay. • Not, a word did he say of the altercation that had taken place between Barrett and M`Nulty, and it was a:Suspi cious circunistancethat he could not mention with any de gree of distinctness any other place than M'Nulty's house where he had been during the day after he had been paid for his work at Neesom's shop. Having dealt with the evidence of the witness Welsh, which was of a character' similar to that of Peak, the Attorney-General next came to the statement of the police-superintendent M'Caul, who having received a copy of Barrett's letter from London, paid a visit to M'Nulty, and questioned him upon it. On that occasion it would be in the recollection of the jury that M'Nulty denied having taken any part in such pro ceedings as the letter suggested. Supposing it were so, that the explanation given by M`Nulty that he was led into a mistake by the superintendent asking if a person had called to have a pair of boots " buttoned," instead of "bottomed," there still remained the fact that ho told M'Caul that he had known of the explosion from a paper left at his house by O'Neill, and yet it was stated as a Special circumstance in Barrett's letter that the first infor mation of the outrage was conveyed to M'Nulty and those in his house by the passage read from the paper by the stranger. On the second portion of the alibi, that which Mr. M'Corrie, the editor of the Irish Catholic Banner, was called to support, the attention of the jury was directed to the character of the articles which appeared in the journal in question. Those articles the learned Attorney - General stigmatised as most pernicious and seditious, and expressed it as his opinion that anyone who degraded the office of journalist by exciting the passions of those who committed crimes was morally as guilty as they were. The character of the witness ; Toke n o f as a respectable journalist would be judged of by the jury when they had had an opportunity of inspecting his writings. The most remarkable fact in connection with the alibi was that nut a single person was called to prove where Barrett had lodged at the time he was said to have been in Glasgow, and it was scarcely less curious that lie should say in his letter to M`Manus, ." I trust you do not think I am guilty," when, if the theory of the de fence were true, M'Manus must have known he could not have been guilty, because at the time the crime was committed he was in his company in Glasgow. Supposing it were true that Barrett had been present at the meeting of the 13th December, would not he have called the attention of M'Afanus to it in the letter, and asked him to search- out Mr. M'Corrie and others who had taken part in• the proceedings ? If the witnesses for the prosecution had spoken the truth, those for the. alibi had given false evidence, knowing it to. Le falscs' It would be for , the jury to decide betweerethetwo. In conclusion, the learned Attorney - -GeneCal observed that while in accordance with the suggestion of the Lord Chief justice he had consented to withdraw the ease as against Justice and O'Keefe, there not being suffi cient evidence upon.which to ask for a conviction, he could never have been guilty of the weakness which he wa-s asked to shew by the counsel for Barrett, by refusing, in consequence of the evidence produced for the defence, to ask for a verdict against him. He left it to the jury to say whether the case for the Crown had not been suffi ciently established against the whole of the prisoners. Dining the whole of the learned Attorney-General's address the prisoner English sat with his head resting on his hands below the level of the railing of the dock. When the Lord Chief Justice commenced his charge to the jury, he and all the other prisoners listened with almost undivided attention. His lordship commenced his charge at a few minutes to twelve o'clock. He began by explaining the state of the law of England in relation to complicity in a case of murder, and reminded the jury that if those who blew up the prison wall did so well-knowing that they might thereby occasion loss of life, they were guilty of the deaths which resulted by the act. Passing to :be evidence, there could be no doubt that the man Mul lany, upon whose testimony the ease of conspiracy sought to be established by the Crown mainly rested, had been an accomplice, and such testimony, especially in reference to those 10 sought to incriminate, must be corroborate 1. But it need not be confirmed in every minute particular by dis interested persons; it wou'.o be sufficient if its general fea tures were established by those who could not be impeached. Time Lord Chief Justice then passed in review the various items of Mullany's evidence, dwel!ing at leogth upon the letter brought by Mrs. Barry t Murphy at M utiany's house. No one could doubt the letter was Burke's, and it was by the aid of copperas that its contents were made apparent. That letter, Mullany said, was shorn to Barrett, and subsequently to the other . prisoners. At the meeting which followed, which must have been hell earlier than Mullany said, another meeting was arranged. for and held in a room in Castle-yard. It must be left to the jury to decide if they could believe Mullany's testimony that the prisoners were present on that occasion. It was a somewhat curious fact that when Mullany was told that a quantity of gunpowder was to be bought, he asked what it was for, when, :Luc to his statement, he had been told what was to be done. When examined, he explained the matter by saying that •he did tit t know so much was to be obta'nad, and, further, that while talking it was noticed that a strange man was present who was not in their counsel. Of the meeting said to have Leen held at William Desmond's, his lordship remarked that here it was asserted that the details of the explosion were arranged.- But how was Mullany confirmed? There was the evidence,in reference to the letter from , Burke, that an attempt was made to convey to Burke'portions of copperas in one of his stock ings, and also that wheas,airested there was found upon him a bulb .containing a substance by which a letter could' be written, - which; till the copperas was applied, would be invissible. In reference to the powder, there was the corroborative testimony of the shopman who sold it and the carman who delivered it. Again, there was the conduct of Burke - in the exercising ground of the prison on the afternoon prior :o the day of the explosion, to skew that a well-arranged plot to bbw down the wall hail been devised, and there were the two balls, one thrown over the wall each day, to prove that Burke knew what had been arranged. The facts of the 12th and 13th still more strongly confirmed the witness. .This, of course, left untouched the question whether he was correct in the evidence he gave to associate the pri soners with the crime. Of the attempt at explosion made on the 12th Mullany could say nothing, for he would not risk his life in the neighbourhood, but there was abundant evidence on the point, the whole of which his lordship referred to in detail. Coining back to Mullany, if he could be believed, the very night of the attempted explosion lie saw Barrett, and heard from him the determination to light the squib the next day. Referring to the next witness, Vaughan, the Lord Chief Justice remarked that though he could not say he was an accomplice, he was certainly no better. He was a man who came forward only fur the sake of the reward, had been degraded from the rank of corporal in the army, had then deserted, and, judging from all that had beenstated, had been addicted to habits of intempe ranee. The evidence of such a man, especially as it was evidence referring not to facts but to conversa , tions, must be received with the utmost caution. The conversation stated to have been held with Timothy Desmond, his lordship could not but regard as being involved in great uncertainty. The events of the 13th. the day of the explosion, were next made the subject of comment; and the evidence of Alien, a woman who wait ,blown down by the explosiou, the boy Moseley, the boy Wheidtri V9Atizip4 itt our Leto Edi tion. The Government is making strenuous efforts to win the impending elections, and has now resumed its bad habit of interfering with them openly and officially. The Pr, et of the Seine Inftsrieure has addressed a circular to the tnaire3 of his departments, pointing, out that the Govern ment desires the electit n of M. Con and 1 e ieves that the electors will do their duty. Ile is opposed by M. Denoyelle, and the Opposition journals are calling upon the people to elect him. M. Gibiat, the second but inde pendent Ministerial candidate, has been induced to retire at Dordogne in behalf of the official candidate, M. de Bosi d on, brother of the Secretary-General of the Ministry of the Interior. A rather amusing and somewhat embarrassing cere mony takes place to-morrow. M. :Jules Favre will, according to the usual nee, have to present to the Emperor his address on taking his seat in the Academy. The address was virtually a manifesto by the Opposition against the Government. M. Favre will be - introduced by M. Pr6vost-Paradol, one of the ablest opponents of the Government.

There is no doubt now that Baron lludberg will be recalled. The new Russian Amba3sador will be Count Stackelberg. The news from England during the last few hours has caused considerable excitement. The evening papers yesterday announced the attempted assassination of the Duke of Edinburgh, and to day's papers tell us that Sir E. Napier has recaptured the European prisoners and stormed Theodore's stronghold, and that Theodore has committed suicide. The Berlin official military paper confirms the news already given with reg IA to reductions in the Prussian army, but almost destroys the value of the announcement by declaring that these reductions wilt be of small impor tance. The KITH:: Zitung, however, gives details which do not seem to b ear out the statement of i ts m ili tary con temporary. It s a y s t h at furloughs have b een g i ven i n t h e following prop or ti ons :—To 15 out of every company of artillery in garri son ; to C 4 out of every b a t ta li on o f Chasseurs ; to on e su b- officer and two h orsemen p er squadron ; and t o one workman in every company o f infantry. It may be added that the strength of a Prus sian battalion in peace is 518 men, which in war is raised to 1,002 men, divided into four companies. In con sequence of a recent adverse vote which Bismarck has sustained in the Reichstag with rest ect to a loan of ten million thalers for the development of the Prussian navy, be has ordered all the works which had been commenced to be stopped. Suspicious persons say that this is the surest way of getting them completed ; for the Prussians are so determined to have a powerful navy that they will give Bismarck all that he wants rather than imperil this great national work.

The church was decorated with the national colours, and the altar overhung with blue drapery and stars. The Icing was the first to enter the cathedral, giving his arm to the bride. After the lii g came the Duchess of Genoa, the bride's mother, then the b idegroom, hi s b ro th er the Duke o f A os t a , th e Prince of Carignan o , an d the Prince o f P russ i a . O n the other side of the a lt ar were th e Queen o f P or t uga l, the Princess Clotibla, an d P r i nce Thomas, the bride's brother. The Archbishop of T ur i n, who has for so me time been out of favour at Court, offici a t e d , and en d eavoure d t o make his peace by uttering a somewhat fulsome eu l og i um u p on th e royal family. The bride was dressed in white and silver ; the Duchess of Genoa, her mother, in pale lilac ; the Duchess of Aosta, her sister-in-law, in pale pink. The King and the Princes were in military uniform. The bride curtsied to her mother at the period in the ceremony where the maternal assent had to be obtained. At the conclusion of the service the newly-married pair entered a carriage and drove off alone to one of the most sequestered outskirts in the neighbourhood of Turin. There they were seen by a few country folk, who, like so many satyrs, hid behind the trees laughing at the blushing bride and her embarrassed husband. A grand ball took I lace in the evening, of which we have a most amusing description. The Queen of Portugal, very much fatigued, and the Duchess of Aosta, who is in mourning for her mother, were absent. The rest of the royal Party were present, including • the bride and the bridegroom. Prince Napoleon waS .very reserved, and stood by the side of the King, with eyes Exed, and silent. It was noticed that he scarcely spoke to the Prince of Prussia, who, the very opposite of the French Prince, gaily talked with all the ladies, and seemed desirous of acquiring the character of gallantry in the lighter, as he had previously attained it in the graver sense of the word. In fact, the " conqueror of Sadowa" has been quite the hero of the day, and has been more cheered than any of the visitors. In the official quadrille were the Prince of Prussia with the Princess Clotilda for his partner (who seemed as though she were dancing by order, and put on an air of resignation, no doubt, in order to express the sentiments of her husband, Prince Napoleon, towards' the Prussian Prince), the Duke of Aosta, and his new sister-indaw, the bride. By the side of this quadrille was another, in which General Menabrea took part and made a great bungle of the figures. After the quadrille, the bride waltzed with the banker Cas sano, who managed to tear his partner's dress. Great emotion among the ladies, in the midst of which the Prince of Prussia appeared, and, Opening a little portemonnaie, took from it a lair of scissors, knelt on one knee, cut off the torn piece of lace, placed the precious relic upon his heart, an I then into his portmonnaie, The ball was followed the next day by a carousal in an immense amphitheatre containing 30,000 spectators, and covered with flags, decorations, and flowers. There were some splendid costumes of the fifteenth century, and certain feats were performed by the young men who wore the dresses. The new Spanish Ministry says that it will continue the policy of Narvacz, and that the shade of the late Ministo presides over the present Cabinet. It seems doubtful i. this will be found practicable.

I think the first-named will be reserved for the Derby; and although Blue Gown is not in the race according to market opera tions, I feel persuaded if Sir Joseph starts him he will perform in a most satisfactory manner. The fact is, had he been ridden for The Biennial Stakes without instruc tions—for Wells without orders would have never made such a mistake—Blue Gown would have shown the best turn of speed, and asked to come home as quack as he could, would have beaten The Earl cleverly. Formosa is by Buccaneer, and, like her sire, possesses a won derfal turn of speed. The style in which she defeated Leonie, Athena, Suffolk, and several others in the Ches terfield Stakes, atNewmarket, shows her to bo a flyer, and a careful reference to the weight she was giving to every animal in the Middle Park Plato (Lady Elizabeth ex cepted), whore she was not beaten more than two or three lengths, is sufficient to prove what an extraordinary chance she must have. St. Ronan was a groat overgrown two year old, but no colt last year looked more likely to improve from that age to the present time than he did, and it is worth while to recollect that Captain Machell has backed him at long shots to win a good deal of money both for this event and the Derby. Ile is sure to run forward if Mr. Chaplin decidts upon starting him. Moslem is evidently an im proving horse. Under the same impression Lord Glasgow's best representative has not the slightest attraction fur tue this time. Pace's best performance was unmistakeably when he defeated The Earl at Doncaster last year, receiv ing 51b from the latter, which is not sufficiently good to win a race of this kind. The Earl is a great horse, and when ho met, his defeat had run for six different engagements, quite sufticieutto make himastale horse. I have alway insisted, and do so now, that The Earl is a really first-class race horse; therefore, if I thought the Duke's horse had defeated him on his best form he would be a great fancy of mine. On the contray, I think it was a fluke, and that the Marquis's horse, fit and well al; he carneout for the Biennial Stakes at Newmarket, in the Craven Meeting, would have run away from him. lam obliged, therefore, to discard his chance. Le Sarazzin will represent the French division satisfac torily, and is, I think, the best outsider in the race. Nolusko's appearance and style of going pleased me most of all the runners in the Biennial, and as the Woodcote Stakes' wiuuer of last year. has evidently had a satisfac tory trial with him, I am bound to speak highly of his chance on this occasion. Vale Royal has been heavily supported since the report of a favourable trial which he is raid to have at Newmarket last week. Nevertheless, I cannot fancy his chance, our yet that of Ironmaster, Resti tution, and Banditto, who may help to increase the field. Owing• to the great uncertainty that exists about -Sir Joseph's lot, I shall stand by LE SARAZZIN and FERIIOSA. For Wednesday's eugagements I should recommend BLUE Gown, or, in his ahTseuce, SUFFOLK. There ace no less than 101 nominations for the Two Year Old Plato, which, however, looks a good thing for 11.4SANIELLO, who I believe is a good dual superior to CURIEUSE. I should think Xi will beat his two opponents for . the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each. The Prince of Wales's Stakes will go to TARABAN ; the Sweepstakes of 50 soya each for 4-yr olds to %TIMMS ; the Sweepstakes of 50 sews for 3-yr-olds to SUFFk/LK ; and TUEGEAGLE ought to secure the Sweep stakes of 50 sovs each A.F.I shall expect to seo TILE lIERMIT beat Julius in the I,ooogs. match. Amongst the stakes run for on Thursday will be the Free Handicap, but the acceptances are not to be declared until six o'clock to-night. I can only, therefore, remark that AILESBURY, GUY OF WARWICK, and DEMONSTRATION aro by no means badly treated. The result of the 1,000 Guineas will be considerably influenced by the running of the Two Thousand, as, at any rate, we may fully expect to see Green Sleeve and Formosa meet on Tuesday next, and your readers will then be able to judge of their Pretensions much better than it is in my p3wer to do at present. There is very little doubt on my mind, however, that either GREEN SLEEVE or FORXIOSA will win this rich prize, whilst I think LADY COTENTILY will run into a situation. 'TIE PARSON will probably walk over for the Sweepstakes of 100 sows each. Should TILE EARL an I BLUE GowN put in an appearance for the Newmarket Stakes, the event will cause a groat amount of speculltiou, and I believe Sir Joseph Hawley's good-looking son of Beadsman will win. BLINKttooLIE will win the Sweepstakes of 300 8075 each. If EVROPA is in form she will Iwo no difnmlty iu win ning the Coffee &min Stakes; and a Sweepstakes of 200 sovs each looks like an cqutlly good thing for SISTER TO A PItESII MAN.
