An excellent start was effected at the first attempt, Wellow cutting out the work, having, however, only a slight lead of a body of horses forming a lino across the course, comprising Beau clerk 'and Handsome Jack on the upper ground, the Miss Sarah colt, Blueskin, and Montagnard in the centre, Nyanza and the Maid of Kent gelding heading the others, who followed in a cluster for about a hundred yards, when the pace at which they came across the flat began to tell, and The Peer and the Manoeuvre filly dropped right away into the roar, and were hopelessly settled before the Bushes Hill was reached. But little change occurred in the posi tions of the leading division until rising the ascent at the turn of the Lands, when Wellow dropped back, and Hand some Jack was left with the lead, Beauclerk, Blueskin, Nyanza, and Montagnard being in close attendance, and just in advance of Guy of Warwick and Lais on the lower ground, the Miss Sarah colt being well up wide on the right. When fairly in the straight Handsome Jack gave way, and Blueskin immediately took up the running, having a clear advantage on reaching the site of the old Duke's stand.

Guy of Warwick raced home with Nyanza for third place, which the first named obtained by about half a length, but " The Guy" was a bad third. The Miss Sarah colt was fifth, Beauclerk sixth, and Slanderer seventh. Then came the Maid of Kent gelding, Handsome Jack, Prince Regent, and Wellow, who finished in a cluster in tho order named.

SJA7E OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, April 14..--The firm position of the cotton market keeps yarns for export in a corres ponding position, but this causes a limited business. For first-class 12's in bundle, quotations are 15d. to 16d. per lb.; for 20's ditto, 160. ; for 30's, 17d. to 18kd• ; and for 40's, 17id. per lb. In home trade yarns only a moderate business doing. The firm ness of spinners tends to firmness in the quotations of manufacturers, and the prices asked by sellers of cloth generally are pretty firmly adhered to. There is, however, little appearance of business. Buyers are not offering for India fabrics, and though thero is no appearance of weakness or despondency we have had an exceedingly small amount of transac tions, either of a bona fide character or for specula tion. Messrs. Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market :—" Business has been suspended during the holiday week, and is hardly resumed to-day. Quotations are firmly adhered to, while buyers seem quite disinclined to, operate, and, though free from any symptom of weakness or despondency, our mar ket closes with very little business." CARDIFF, 13th.--Some steadiness begins to be evinced in the steam coal trade, and business upon the whole is gradually becoming more satisfactory. Merchants and shippers have several orders on their books, principally for the French markets and the Fast; and from the other foreign markets there is about an average demand. Coastwise trade con tinues remarkably dull, the purchases of West of England and Irish houses being considerably below the usual quantity. LEEDS, 14th.--There was only a small atten3ance of buyers in the cloth halls to-day, and the markets were quiet, as is common at a festive season like Easter. The purchases were miscellaneous, and no large bulk of any class of goods was sold. Tweeds, meltons, diagonals, and ordinary plain goods, with some fancy coatings, were sold in fair proportions, and a few transactions in heavy goods were noted. There was no repor.table change in prices, which, though firm, the manufacturers allege to be too low, considering the cost of wool and other raw material. ROCHDALE, 13th.—There was only a poor at tendance of buyers in the flannel market to-day, and they purchased sparingly of both plain and fancy goods. Prices were very firm, those of wool having still an upward teudency. There was no change in the quiet demand for Yorkshire goods, nor were transactions in wool large. FACTS AND FANCIES. M. Sartiges, the French Ambassador at Rome, has found out one of those wonderful Italian harpsichords, such as Salvator Rosa painted, and presented it to the Conserva toire of Paris. Mrs. Dora Tracy, well known to California as a lady of considerable talent and dramatic ability, died recently in San Francisco, aged 37. A minstrel returned from Paris to San Francisco ad vertises that he did the "Cure," "Sally Come Up," and " That's My Son," in pantomime, before the Emperor and Empress. Guess not. Masquerades in San Francisco pay from fifty to one hundred and twenty dollars for one night's use of fancy dresses on special occasions. No hard times in the land of gold. The bear which escaped from the ruins of Barnum's is now billed as the "Fire Imp." "Enoch Arden," dramatised, is given at the Washington National. "No Thoroughfare," under the title of " L'Abinie," is in rehearsal at the Porte St. Martin.— Wilkes Spirit of the Times. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — The Best Way.—To gain any end there aro often many ways, but these is always a best way. This statement applies with wonderful force to Holloway's remedies, which overcome ill-health by driving noxious matters from the frame, by repairing broken or inj ured structures, and by establishing regularity of action. This is the only safe and feasible method of combating diseases and secur ing sound health. With pure blood, good digestion, strong nerves, and perfect functional order, most maladies may be vanquished and health surely re-established. The balsamic and healthy qualities of Holloway's ointment render it invaluable in the nursery for healing cuts, scratches, and sores, for allaying inflammation, reducing swelling, and 01,0=114 waholthy skin. Letters from Dublin continue to spai of a enasiasra with which the Irish people regard the Boyar visit. The Telegraph correspondent, writing on Monday, says : " Vast numbers of the rural population, and of the popu ) lation of large towns, are pouring into the Irish capital, to the amazement of those dwellers therein who have looked forward to considerable incursions. A gentleman who has travelled from Tralee to-day, and Tralee is 270 miles or thereabout from Dublin, says that nothing like the excitement of the town has ever been witnessed there since anybody remembers. I had heard, this morning, that the trains from that same town, and from Cork, and from other places, had been crammed, leaving many persons on the platforms. One long and heavy train that had left the Cork station had to be divided into two parts before it had gone very far. From all districts come, authentically, the most gratifying accounts of the state of popular feeling, the name of the Princess of Wales being alraost magical in its effect on the humblest class of the Queen's subjects in Ireland. The Prince unquestionably stands well with the great mass of the Irish people ; but, as he himself will chiefly rejoice to know, this national welcome, preparing for the Royal visitors who are to land at Kingstown on Wednesday, is in the main animated by delight at the coming of the Princess." The Star thus describes the scene at the departure of their Royal Highnesses from Euston-square :—" The car riages to be occupied by the Royal party consisted of the Prince of Wales's and two other royal saloons, a, first-class carriage, and two other carriages, form ing a separate royal train, to which the ordinary ex press train was attached. The royal carriages were fine specimens of the art of the railway upholsterer, and the entrance to the station through which the royal party were to pass was hung with scarlet cloth. The hour and place of the intended departure having become known, a considerable crowd collected at and outside the station, and accorded to the first royal arrival—the Duke of Cambridge—the homage of a cheer. His Royal High-, nes.. who arrived about halt an hour before the starting ot train, was soon in earnest conversation with the rail• Ly Officials, and was apparently, with characteristisgood nature, taking every precaution to promote the comfort of his fair cousin and the ladies of her suite on their long and tiresome railway journey. Shortly after his Royal Highness arrived Prince Tech alighted, and was warmly greeted by the duke. Soon afterwards a loud shout outside the gate of the terminus announced that the Prince and Princess had arrived. They were received with the most hearty and vociferous cheering, which was again renewed when their Royal Highnesses stepped from the carriage, and cordially acknowledged their sense of the manner in which they had been greeted. Mr. Sherrard and Mr. R. Benson, two of the directors of the London and North Western Railway, were in attendance, together with the secretary and other officials. The Princess looked in excellent health and spirits, and appeared almost entirely recovered from her recent illness. For the information of lady readers, it may be stated that she wore a dark velvet over a blue dress. The Princess was handed from the carriage by the Duke of Cambridge, and was conducted by him to the railway carriage. The Prince of Wales, Prince Teck, and the various noblemen, ladies, and gentlemen composing their suite, amongst whom were Lady Carmarthen, the Hon. Mrs Stonor, Major Grey, and Lieutenant - General Knollys, and Colonel Hardinge, Equerry to the Queen, followed, and immediately after taking their seats the guard's whistle was heard, and the train started on its journey. As the royal carriage moved out of the station its illustrious occupants stood up and repeatedly bowed to the people. The weather at the time was glorious, the crowd around loyal and enthusiastic, the Royal party evidently in high spirits, and it is to be hoped that the happy omens of the day will be entirely verified by the occurrences of a visit for a hundred reasons. infinitely more important than ordinary State pageantries or the Royal visits generally recorded by the Court newsman.".. PRISON DIETARY. The Howard Association, instituted under the patronage of Lord Brougham, for the promotion of the best methods of penal treatment and crime prevention, issues a circular urgi: g the necessity for an inquiry into the subject of prison dietary and general treatment. It cites the evidence of the witnesses and the opinion of the jury at the recent inquest on the body of the man Barrett, whose death was stated to have been accele rated by the low diet on which he was kept in the House of Correction. One witness, who had been imprisoned in Coldbath-fields, said that for seven weeks "he had one pint of gruel and six ounces of bread for supper. He had no meat at all given him for these seven weeks." The association thinks that while prisoners ought not to be pampered, they "should be so treated as to be discharged in a physical, and, if possible, moral con dition for obtaining an honest livelihood. It may be remembered, too, that some men will starve on what will sustain others, and that even the difference of soil and of employment in various prisons renders a varying treatment necessary." As regards prison gruel, it has already been condemned by authority, the Govern ment commissioners on Irish gaols having recently recommended its discontinuance, its nutritive value being next to nothing. The association is of opinion that on the whole those prisons which are under the control of the magistrates are better managed than those under the control of the Home Office. "At Pentonville and Millbank, for instance, which are in the latter category), an increase of attention is re quired in respect to the infliction of prolonged cellular confinement, even though limited to nine months." Such confinement drives many of the prisoners mad. The chap lain of Pentonville, writing in 1866, says : " I watch with anxiety the not improbable consequences (of this con finement) upon certain temperaments of mind and body. My impression is that the numbers on the daily sick lists have been greater than of late years. I have noted amongst minor cases three of attempted and two of affected suicides, several prisoners with symptoms of idiocy, and others of insanity." Upon a late occasion at Millbank there were observed as many as a hundred imbecile and'epileptic convicts confined in long galleries, padded several feet high with thick matting to prevent the prisoners from injuring themselves against the walls. The reported death of Dr. Elliotson is contra dicted. Dr. W. H. Russell goes to Ireland to chronicle the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales for the Times. Her Majesty has presented an autograph copy or her " Journal in the Highlands " to the Royal Edinburgh Asylum. A Mr. Collins and his wife have made the over land journey from Bangkok to Moulmein in 43 days. The distance travelled was 650 miles. Mr. Collins says the journey ought to be accomplished in from 15 to 18 days. THE REV. B. SPEKE.—This gentleman has been in town for a week. He has quite recovered, and is allowed by his medical adviser to return to his vicarage and under take the duties. THE FREE CHURCH MOVEMENT IN LIVERPOOL.-- At the Easter vestry held in Liverpool, a resolution was adopted to the effect that Sunday evening services should be held in the two parish churches of St. Peter and St. Nicholas, free to the people—rich and poor alike.

ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY.— We regret to learn that Dr. Hamilton, Bishop of Salisbury, was on Monday taken so unwell that his medical attend• ants considered it advisable to require him to abstain from work for the present. His lordship has several pressing episcopal engagements on hand, which will probably be taken by some of the colonial bishops now in England. WORKMEN'S INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1869. Mr. John Cheetham, M.P., Mr. G. Price, M.P., and Lord Wharncliffe have become vice-presidents of this undertaking. Mr. J. C.

Main Walrond, M.A., and Lord Wharncliffe, joining the list )f guarantors. THE FOREST-HILL MURDER. —The prisoner Richard Bishop, who was on Wednesday found guilty at the Old Bailey Sessions of the murder of Alfred Cart wright at Forest-hill, and sentenced to death, was on the same afternoon conveyed to Maidstone Gaol. Since his confinement there his demeanour has been quiet. Accord ing to the usual arrangements the execution will take place on the 30th inst. TEE LAW AS TO APPRENTICES OF AGE.—John widd i am, an apprentice with Mr. James Tasker, a Liver pool ironmonger, was summoned before the Liverpool magistrates for having left his master's service and violated his indentures. The plea of Wickham was, that he had attained his majority, and was not, therefore, bound by the contract ; but Mr. Ta.sker's solicitor contended that the 30th and 31st Vic. (the Master and. Servant Act, 1867), cap. 141, section 9, provided for this contingency, and required an apprentice to serve the prescribed term. Wickham refused to go back except at higher wages, and he was therefore ordered into custody, He was re mandect, Sl le' Lnean t )f the i -,, d lice ~ that nea t }o af ;ualif Ole , 4 or ",, to r 0 legBl cla d .30 id 0 3 sti ll , fey tib ia , a iti o f ri A Or ~„ od o l 15
