SPORTING NOTES. No. XVIII. THE DONCASTER SPRING MEETING. " Throw up a straw, and you'll see which way the wind blows."— Old Proverb. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—Rather too late yesterday evening for publishing, I discovered (what I remarked was dubious in Note No. IS in the morning) that the British Yeoman was not likely to figure in the Derby Steeplechase; and; I also find that the Tipperary Boy is by no manner of means a certain runner; this leaves " the money" mare, lliss Collingwcod, at the top of the tree in my estimation, with Trust-bas-not in the second place, and Ben Lomond in the third; but,• as this notice will be almost too late for any useful purpose, appearing in print, as it will do, about the same time as the race is being run (half-past three), I will not advert to it any further; it may, however, be useful to some of the "Date birds" in the market, and may ease the minds of some of the highly nervous dabblers in their uncertainties; uncertainties i'faith I they are the greate'-t we have in more than the cemmon sporting acceptation of the word, except to certain select parties who get up those queer caprioskies that have been so numerous this winter, and which will eventually lead to the downfall of steeplechasing, for the public running of the majority of the animals engaged in these races is no criterion whatever to judge by, money, money, and only money being the true criteria! as witness the Vain Hope, and other instances too numerous to mention ; unlike the fiat-race department, where the horses and the stakes are on the whole more valuable, and the proprietors of the animals engaged men who boast of a higher standard of honour; though, mark you, I do not say but what there are as honourable loon in the steeplechasing, as there is in the flat-racing department of the turf, but on the whole, they are not of that high caste, either horses or men, in two necessary requisites which I need not name, in the former as they are in the latter department of the sport ing world. There are, of course, exceptions to all rules, and I do not intend to particularize. Some weeks have elapsed since I last commented on the movements in the • .e,et vedsh 'hemselves on this Z, ;curse) on Friday, lag post, includ _.. ~ 7st 91b ; Achy ist 91b ; and Heart , . . of Oak, 3 yrs, sst 7lb ; Nancy, 3 yrs, 6st lib, I take it, will be stopped by the weight.

REPORTS OF CASES ADJUDICATED !lN THE SEVERAL COURTS OF THE COM MISSIONERS IN BAAKRUPTCY, under the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act of 1849. Vol. I.—Part I. By J. W. M. Fonbla nque Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister•at-Lau. London : Butter worths, Fleet-street; Dublin : Hodges and Smith, Graf ton-street. The vast importance of a well-regulated and wisely administered code of bankruptcy in a commercial country is now fully recognized. It is essential that every per son about embarking in trade should fully understand the coarse which he must pursue in all his dealings and transactions with his fellow-men. As a dealer and chapman, he is invested with a new character. Ile gains facilities for obtaining credit—the very life- blood of trade—that are altogether wanting to a private individual. The bills to which he may be a party, whe ther as drawer or acceptor, are supposed invariably to represent legitimate transactions relaticg to his business, which make them pass readily from hand to hand, until tney arrive at maturity. His occupation or calling, which renders him liable to the bankrupt laws, is the stamp or imprimatur which renders cu.rresat that which might not possess the intrinsic value of other similar documents, which would be summarily nejected by any banker. He is thus enabled to carry on his business fairly and profitably, without the drawbacks or annoy ances that would otherwise be inevitable: the way to fortune is opened to him, and " confidence" is the magic key that opens the fastenings of the gate at the very threshold of his career. But in proportion to the incalculable advantages thus afforded, he is required to observe a strict and uublemiehed in tegrity. He must never for a moment deviate from the strict path of duty, never violate a single maxim of commercial ethics. He may be unfortunate, without any error on his own part; his reasonable expectations may be disappointed, losses may be incurred of such magnitude that he may be unable to meet his own liabi hties, but he can never be ruined so long as he preserves his " good name." With the reputation of an honest man, he will find himself exonerated from his encum brances, and enabled to enter honourably on a new ca reer, in which he will find himself supported by former friends and correspondents, who will evince an anxiety to renew business transactions with one who has passed unscathed through the stringent ordeal to which he has been exposed in seeking for his certificate. Under these circumstances, an accurate knowledge of the principles ou which the several Commissioners act, who so ably and impartially administer the law, should be closely studied. It should be ascertained what are re garded as.commercial delinquencies, to be visited with the censure of the Court, and which must have a stain on the future character, and also what are the steps that should be adopted in those irises which are of con stant recurrence, and which a man must be fortunate, indeed, if he can pass through life without repeatedly encountering. A commercial man, however high his position, can never be certain that reverses may not oc cur; and he should, in all his transactions, so conduct himself that the entire matter may be laid bare and closely scrutinized, without danger of censure or re preach. And the requisite knowledge he can only obtain by an attentive perusal and mature consideration of the reports of the adjudged cases in bankruptcy. We, therefore, anticipate fur the excellent work now under notice a far more extensive circulation than usually at tends " a law book." It will not be restricted to legal practitioners, but will have a wider circle of readers, as it will be as cordially welcomed by bankers, merchants, and traders, as by the profession itself. The learned reporter shows : - himself to be in every respect qualified for the arduous task he has undertaken; we say " the arduous task" advisedly, for none who have not triesio their hand at what to the uninitiated may seem p - fectly simple and easy of accomplkehusent, can tell the difficulties that await the collator of authorised reports, w hich will be adopted and recognised as of weight end authority by the„Ceurt and the prac titioners. The greatest care must be 'taken tu exclude all superfluous matter, to state nothing that is not tally of importance, and at the same time to insert every point or metier which could elucidate the principle to he esta blished. In these respects Mr. Feebler:quo has emi nently succeeded. There is not a single case reported which will not be valuable as a precedent, or which could safely be omitted. He is clear and perspicuous, telling distinctly everything that should he known to understand fully the grounds of the decision, and tit the same time using no surplusage. The act of book making is totally disregarded by the ltarned gentleman. There is nu amplification, on the contrary, he has Call prestid his abunda-it materials within the narrowest W h.ir, for inn-taec:.. can be more cAicise than the de cision in "It 9 Smart?" Mr. Com missionsr F.white. qua say s —" Is is not sufficient that thi re should be books; they twist he properly kept and balanced from time to time, so that at tiny tam? ine reel sate of the trader's accounts may at once appear." One of the most important rules to be observed by a dealer is thus established in a few lines. Among the exceedingly interesting asses in the present part will be wand those or the St. Albans Bank and of Mr. Dslafield, whose unfortunate epeculations in ,haatrical matters so strongly excited the public atten tion last 3 ear. JOSEPH 11. AND THE JESUITS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The following extracts from a letter written in 1773, by Joseph 11. of Austria to Count d'Aranda, show the opinions entertained by that energetic Monarch respecting the disciples of Lo , ola : Clement XIV. has acquired immortal glory in banishing the Jesuits from the earth. Before those reichs of apostacy were known in Germany, religion was to the people a source of real felicity : the Jesuits have made it the in ,, trument of their own ambition, and the mantle of their shameful projects. The intolerance of the Jesuits has drawn on Germany the calamity of a thirty years' wa-: their principles de prived Henry IV. of France of his throne and his life, and they were the authors of the atrocious revocation of the edict of Nantes. _ _ " Their influence over the house of Hapsburg is but too well known. . If I can hate, 1 execrate this race of men, who persecuted Feneion—who gave birth to the buW 'ln Cxnel Domini'— and who have rendered Rome so despicable. Adieu " Jossrir." Afterwards, on his accession to the impelfal diadem, he wrete Choiseul, in December, 1780— " The influence which the priests have exercised until now in my mother's government shall alio be the special object of my reforms. Ido not like these men who, entrusted exclusively with the cares of our salvation, move so actively in the mediation of our worldly affairs." I am, Sir, yours, &c., March 10, 1851. S4ECTATOR.

Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of rist —Annual division of Proflts. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of animal Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk he made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. . Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clanse.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at Ono o'clock precisely. The following Is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the. past year no claim,, have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for AM—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered front the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of ti ay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop, sacs were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.: of these 128, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 65. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de PEtang a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbish , p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con. siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and fitters prospects.

The number of claims from death during the year has been five, and the amount paid upon these, and upon the claims which arose in December. 1849, is 2,250/. In all cases, when requested by the re presentatives, immediate payment has been made, subject to the usual discount. There are not, at the present time, any claims upon the Society. The annual Income derivable from premiums alone upon the 1,174 policies completed to tile 31st Dec., 1850, is 1 , ,076/. Is. 4d. The Directors feel great pleasure in being enabled to submit this very satisfactory statement, which cannot hut enlist from the public increased favour for the Society, and with the continued aid of the members must advance its prosperity.

LI MOSES AND SON'S LEADER. ■ ij• From the events of the last few days, a great moral lesson may be drawn. Let us, as men possessing common prudence, take warning from the distractions consequent on change, and by so guiding our every action render it in all absolute essentials perfectly unnecessary. But it may be said—from the peculiar construction of the human mind, and from the progressive action of the times—change is abso lute. This we readily allow in consequences, but where fundamen tal principles are correct, change is needless, although we grant the modes of carrying them out may vary. Take, for instance, the fundamental principles upon which E. MOSES and SON have esteblishe carried on, and still maintain their gigantic project of still becoming Universal Tailors, Hatters, Ilcsiers, Boot and Shoemakers, and General Outfitters; and when their unbounded success is considered (a success which has load no limit except that which time itself invincibly opposes, and which limit time itself will ultimately remove), surely, as far as E. MOSES and SON are concet ned change is needless. The fundamental prin ciples up .n which E. MOSES and SON started, were to bring large capital and sound judgment into the markets, and so to buy at the cheapest rate; to m , .ke enormous sales and no bad debts, and so to sell at the cheapest rates ; to employ first rate talent in all the ope rative departments, and no to gain and keep an immense connexion ; and should perchance a caprice supervene, without argument, meet it by excharling the purchase, or should circumstances require a return of money, without quibble or equivocation to afford a ready compliance. Surely, then, as far as E. MOSES and SON are con cerned—chan,qc is needless. As Tail. TS, that E. MOSES and SON have carried out their prin ciples, the immense mass of their supporters, who are as regular in their patronage as the seasons in their approach, amply prove. Surely, then, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. As Hatters, they have studied every combination of use and beauty, and rendered a good Nat attainable by everybody. Surely, then, as Hatters, with E. MOSES and SON —change is needless. As Boot-makers, B. MOSES and SON have powerfully, perma nently, and deservedly got the length of the foot of the public at large, as they have accomplished what has newer been before at tempted; they have culled from England and from France the choicest products of the trade, and by a happy union, have produced a boot, the world's admiration and the world's envy. As Baot mak.:.rs, then, w th E. MOSES and SON— change is needless. But all honour to the ladies and honour to those who study their comforts, their pleasures. Who so eminently has done this aif:E. lIO'ES and SON ? Come, then, judge for yourselves; let there be no vainglorious boasting; crown them with the w• oath of Fame made trebly i.recious by your touch; see their Riding Habits, their shawls, their lloslery, their Mantles, their immense stock of Furs, the tribute of all climes ; notice that by exertion, by industry, by skill, and by moderation in price , that they have placed them within the reach of all ; and then you will unhesitatingly declare, that, as ladies' men so fa: as E. MOSES and SON are concerned—change is needless. Change, then, is needless, because the prine iples which have placed E. MOSES and SON in the proud, the enviable position they occupy, shall he still continued to keep them there ; and, as it has been ably said, that the best sense is common sense, which the pub lic posses,:es in abundance, is it matter for surprise that it is uni versally proel dined, loudly and strongly, that so far as the patron age extended to E. MOSES and SON —change is needless. Shippers, captains and the trade are respectfully informed, that the great inconvenience of being attended to In a retail shop is for them entirely obviated, as their immense mass of well-stored whole sale warehouses are entirely distinct from the retail departments, and the wish, the will, and the means shall, as they ever were, be still devoted to heir interests. Notice.—Wanted, several youths as cashiers. Apply by letter. • A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application. Notice.—The Fur and Shawl Departments are now replete with very novelty of the season. Observe.—Any article purchased, either ready-made or made to measure, if not approved of, will be exchanged or tile money re turned. Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public igainst imposition, but having heard that the untradesmanlike false hood of being connected with them, or it is the same concern, has yen resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they leg to state they have no connexion with any other house in or out ,f London, except their own Establishments, as iollows : London City Establishment, 151, 155. 186, and 157, Minories, 83, 4, 85, and 86, Aidgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

MARTIN'S FRIGATE SQUADRON. Commodore Martin, with the frigate squadron. left Lisbon on Frid iy morninc, February 28, on a cruiae. The squadron condited of the Leander, 59, Captain Dacres, with the com modere'a red pendant; Indefitigahle, Captain s mart, lk H. ; the Phaeton, 59, Captain G. Elliot ; the Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds; the Dauntle , s, 24, screw-frigate, Cap tain Halsted ; and the Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Cap tain Warden. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Robinson ; and the Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, were left behind—the firmer in consequence of some defects in her machinery requiring repair. she had broken the coupling of her screwshaft. The Arrogant, before ste returned to Ports mouth, was very much infest d with rito, and great exer tions were made by her Majesty's rat-catcher to destroy them, but without effect. The squadron would have started on the 25th, but it blew a very heavy gale, causing such consi ;cable surf on the bar outside, that it was not deemed advisable to move. On the 26th the ships unmoored, but did not gait until the 28th, as above stated. The cruise, it is reported, will extend so far as Madeira, and the ships will be absent for about s month. The seamen and the marine artilitry belonging to the Hogue, 60 gun ship, Captain Macdougall, and the Ajax, 60, screw flag-ship, Captain Quin, together with the naval ap prentices, under their respective captains and other officers, were landed on Friday at Queenstown, and in the presence of Rear-Admiral Dickson, the C o mmander-in-Chief, were put through the various exercises with field -pieces, small arms, &c., in which they excelled to the satisfaction of the Gallant Port Admiral. Birkenhead, troop-steamer, Master-Commander Penn, and Hercules store-ship, Master-Commander Fulton, arrived at Gibraltar on the 4th of March. Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Jones, with her tender, Bloodhound steam-vessel, put into Lisbon on the 27th ult., and would leave for the coast of Africa in the course of four or five days. They had hard weather in the Bay of Biscay, and the Sampson took her tender in tow, but this did not answer, as every hawser was carried away, and the bows of the ship were almost torn out. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 10. —The Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour, K.C.8., appointed to succeed Earl Dundonald on the West India and North American station, was paid advance this day by Hear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C.B. She will re-hoist Sir Francis's flag to-morrow, and sail on Wed nesday. The Penelope, 22, Captain Lyster, was taken out of the steamer basin to-day. She will be removed under the shears to be masted as soon as the Powerful, 84, is placed in ordinary. PLYMOUTH, MAncit B. —Letters received yesterday from the Mediterranean state that her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain T. W. Carter, was to sail this day, the Bth, from Malta for Plymouth, to be paid off. The offi-ers and crew of the brig Kingfisher were paid off to-day at the Pay-office in the dockyard, and her sea men gunners sailed in the Aeon steamer for Portsmouth this afternoon. The Vulcan and Acheron steamers are hourly expected. The steam .ship Migicienne is ordered to cruise seven days in the Channel to try her ra e of sailing. SUNDAY, 5 P.M. —Where is no indication of the approach of the Cape mail .packet Bosphorus, hourly expected here for some days past. It is possible that she may have been detained for urgent purposes by the Governor, Sir H. Smith. FALMOUTH, ALtacif 9. Her Majesty's packet Peterel, Lieutenant Thomas Creser commander, has this morning ar rived from Rio de Janeiro with the Brazil mails, which port she left on the 12th of January. She brings about 6,0001. on freight, and Senhor Dionysius Vergo and a miner as pas sengers. The intelligence brought by this packet has been completely anticipated by the arrival of the Seraphina at Liverpool from Pernambuco, bringing four days' later dates from Rio de Janeiro. The Peterel has experienced very severe weather on the passage. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP IMPREGNABLE.—Since our last publication three e f the officers of the flag-ship have been supe•seded, in consequence of having served the usual period of three years. First-Lieutenant Harry T. Veitch is to be succeeded by Lieut. R. B. Miller; Lieut. Spencer H. Pickard by Lieut. P. Hawkins; and Paymaster and Purser James Oztard by Mr. Thomas Shanks, formerly of the Vanguard. The first officer we have named, Lieut. Harry T. Veitch, entered the service in 1830, and from that time (with the ex ception of two months) to the present he had been most most actively employed. We happen to know that he has earned the good opinion and warmest approbation of every officer under whom he has served—among them the late respected Admiral Sir Charles Paget, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, Cap tains Sir Richard Grant, S r Henry J. L eke, Captain Lawrence, Captain A. Milne, and others of high standing in the service. D ;ring th • three past years t_i,utenant Veitch has evinced ae gre-test zeal in training the naval appren tices on board e e Impregnable, and keeping that fine ship in the best p_ssibli order and discipline, by carrying out effectually the Admiralty instru s and these of his gal lant Captain. As the son f a meritor oui veteran, who at tai•• ed the rank of Post-captain entirely by arduous service as First-Lieutenant of frigates during the late war, and as an officer who has given uziversal satisfaction to his superiors, we venture to hope that the First Lord of the Admiralty will look favourably on his claims, and grant him that pr. motion which his active and fa thful servUes so eminently deserve.— Deronport Independent. MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF THE LONDON DISTRICT. A meeting of the Roman Catholics of the London dis trict was held at one o'cleck yesterday, at the Freema sons' Tavern, Great Queen-street. The meeting was very fully attended. Amongst those on the platform we observed Mr. Philip Howard, M.P., Mr. Ouseley Hig gins, M.P., Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Reynolds, M.P., Mr. Amherst, barrister; the Rev, Ur, O'Neill, Mr. Moore, M.P., and Mr. Eneas Macdoncll.

The CHAIRMAN said that the object of the meeting was to defend their o wn cause and rights, now assailed by the Government; an d he was sur e that in doing s o they would do so with temper and mod erat i on . H e con gratulated them on the alterations which had been made in the Bill of the Gov ernment, but it still contained the principle of persecution, and therefore it was their duty to persevere in their efforts, and he was sure that in it declared reverence and another mouth the Bill would be consigned to oblivion.

This invaluable medicine acts with such peculiar effect upon the system that the fluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly evacuated and wholly pre vented from any further accumulation. The distressing i s i p o i w ri a t y s .s an E d di a symptoms which accompany the complaint being thus dispersed, the sufferer regains buoyancy, com pletely renovated constitution.

BETTING MARKET, during which period a marked change has occurred in the positions of many of the candidates for public favour.

There are certain persons in that particular sphere, whom, for the nonce, I will call the straws, though by no means "men of straw," by fol lowing whose speculations you may discover which way the winning wind blows; at least, as they are the representa tives of the various stables, their investments show you which is THE horse destined to run for the small change of the persons connected with the particular LOT they repre sent, which is going a long way towards discovering the winner; and, singular to say, most of these ambassadors commence their operations in the City, at the West End, or, in fact, anywhere but at Tattersall's ; consequently, it very often happens that THE horse of the stable for a particular stake, is in the betting in the City sometimes a week, occasionally a fortnight bef e it is heard of at " The G.rner." It is in consequence of this . 11,1 I shat and do aniaadaart cccasi ,nally upon the Betting Market, as 'he information must prove valuable to c ,untry if not to town readers. By referring to several of my early Notes this year, it will be found that the majority of the animals in the marke a for the ing Handicaps made their Milts in the City. Ong of the principal moves since I last touched upon the subject is the advance of Le gerdermain for he Northamptonshire Stakes, from twenties, at which price it was backed f r a lo , ge stake some time since in the City, to seven to 1, taken freely at " The Corner" yesterday ; Cockt , d' then in force at 8 to 1, has rece 'ed to twelves, and is offe•!ed against at that price; Cloth worker is in for e at fi'teens •, and St. Rosrd a from £0 has sprung to 12 to 1; The Swindler and Nutmeg ve occasionally inquired after, and backed at 20; notting else in much request I tkink Legerdemain and Nutmeg are worthy of support, and that The John O'Gaunt colt (whom Mr. rr orris had better give a name to, as his pedigree is somewhat lengthy, say Duke of Lancaster) is well worth a long shot. One of my fancy nags k enmus) is absolutely first favourite for the Metropolitan at 12 to 1, the other two (Vampyre and Fstafette) are quoted 20 to 1 each; Itaby is firm at 12, Oil lyflower and Sunrise 15, and Vatican (who'll ran well) and Sauter-la-Coupe at 70 to 1. For the Newmarket Handicap, again we have a fancy City horse ( Recruit), who has suddenly sprang from the outside division to the front, more than 6 to 1 being diffi cult to obtain ; The Cutler is quoted 12 to 1, and Quasimodo 16 to 1. Grecian still remains premier for the 2,000 Guineas at 11 to 10 agst the field; Newminster (who will give him his work to do) being backed eagerly at 5 to 1; Mountain Sylph colt at the same price. ' Bee Hunter, backed at 6 to 4 for the Port Stakes, will, it is said, bowl the others over easily. For the Chester Cup, Rhesus once more is firm at 10 to 1; The Italian was backed yesterday for a hundred at 40 ; Wallflower is quoted at the same figure; Haricot, Montague, and the Black Doctor at 25 to 1 ; Lady Evelyn, steady at the same figure, and quite good enough, in my, opinion, to beat the lot; Nancy 25 to 30 to 1; Seaman (said to be a good thing) at the last-named price; The Knight of Avenel, after rising again to twenty-five's, has disappeared, forties being refused; Sir Richard and Woolwich are marked 50; and Duc-an-Durras and the Prior of Lanercost 66 to 1 each. The field is very strong; with the exception of Lady Evelyn I shall plunge among the fifties and sixty-sixes to find the first three or four in the race. The Derby, with one or two ex ception!, remains in statu quo. The Prime Minister is, as he ought to be, premier, at 5 to 1; Grecian at the same figure as before, 6 to 1 ; the Squire's colt in request at 11 ; New: minster at 12 ; The Marlboro' Buck, 25 ; Storm (whom g d iven up as a bad spec, on account of his pins, is doing I 4 a o work again) 30; Balsamo and Confessor (occasionally) y)..evedi, Ariosto, same price taken eagerly, and, can it besteh several parties are actually nibbling dreds about that misnamed animal Lightfoot at ha lf past one The Doncaster Spring Meeting commencesace two miles, for with great z at hun on Thursday afternoon, with the Hurdle i w u which c p h s n y e c a h r e l the , y 93 t e st Q ar u t e , einn,claundd n dv,earys possibl elcannet 4wlbh;ole Tally-handofth ea c i c o e , p t ta . n lb ce ; s Paltahtcinespkre it sent, I must take W thirf r o fd ar al e w a o i d c'cu l y st th ea e ch i i orem o. os o t es l discover which way t h e money the runningTfAorLagliuoide and...placethem thus— the PSYCHE .. • ...

Most of this lot having figured in the Liverpool Steeplechase, an analysis of their merits would be superfluous; I shall confine myself to stating, that t im ha p t le t , h A e hthel: first flight will probably be composed of Peter Kader, Maria Day, and Mulligan, and that they may per chance pass the post thus : ABD-EL-KAI•ER or PETER SIMPLE MARIA DAY.
