Three places are noted for salt--San Quentin, Ojo de Liebre, and Carmen Island. Many little va lleys and nooks exist among the granite mountains of the South still unoccupied, and which could be brought into luxuriant cultivation. `ME SUN, LONDON, MONDAY F,VENENG, OCTOBER 5, 1868. THE BRAZIL MAIL. SOUTITA.MPTON, Oct. 5. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Danube, with the above mails, has arrived here with 86 passengers, £8,655 in specie, and a general cargo On the 22d she spoke the English ship Dragon, 26 days from London, for Bombay, the English ship .goodie steering west. The steam transport Mauritius, from Anuesley Bay with invalids, arrived at St. Vincent on the 24th ult. On the 29th the Danube spoke the English bark Salcombe, and on the 3d the English steamer Mendosa. The mail st2amer Oneida left St Vinceat for the Brazils. All well. BUENOS ArRES, Sept. 26. There is nothing important from the seat of war. Little was known here of Lopez and his army, but it is stated that he is at San Fernando with 10,000 men. It is impossible to say whether the probable duration of war may last longer than best informed parties think. Senor Sarmiento has been elected President, and Dr. Alsina Vice-President of Buenos Ayres. Trade was improving. National bonds rose only 8 per cent., and the rate of interest has fallen 5 per cent. Exchange on London, 49} to Rio, Sept. 9. The Anglo-Brazilian Times says that the Minister of Finance has been authorised to make a further issue of $40,000,000 paper money to meet the de mand caused by the present and future expenses of the war in Paraguay, which exceeds the ordinary revenue by $6,000,000 monthly. A reduction of one and a half per cent. interest upon Treasury bills issued after the Ist September is announced by the Treasury. A despatch from the seat of war states that 28,000 men left Humaita for Pilar, which is erected to be the basis of operations against the lines of Tebiquary. Pears, however, are entertained that Lopez will withdraw to the im pregnable position cf Corro Leone, forty miles from Villa Rica, thus prolonging the campaign inde finitely, if the Paraguayans remain steadfast. Some ironclads had gone up to Paraguay, pro bably to bombard the Tibiquary works, and the Argentine forces at Humaita. The Government of Monte Video has effected a loan of $500,000 with the Brinks. The River Plate and the Commercial Banks declined availing themselves of the Bank decree. The Rio Exchange Market was unsettled. After publishing a decree authorising the further emission of paper money business was completely suspended, and the Banks will not draw or name rates. 60,000 sovereigns have been sold at 12,400 to 600. Holders now demand 13,300. Coffee transactions have declined 300 to 500 reis. Freights abundant, and rates slightly easier. MARKE7S-7 His DAY. CORN. The trade in wheats generally inquiet, with little varia tions in prices. The country markets coma in some in stances rather easier, in others the turn dearer, averaging late rates. At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was moderate, and tho trade quiet, with rather light supplies of the primary articles. English wheat was held for last Mondny's rates, at which only a limited demand prevailed. Foreign wheat was produced sparingly, but not offered on lower terms ; and quotations remained unchanged. Barley firm in price, with a fair inquiry for both malt ing and grinding descriptions. Beans firm, at fully late rates. Peas quite as dear, and in special request. Maize firmer, and a large business done. On passage, 34s Gd; June and July shipment, 30s to 30s Gd ; off coast, 34s Gd. Oats in steady demand. Russian firm. New a shade easier. Flour quiet, at late rates. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The market is very fully supplied to-day, and the ac counts from Newgate and Leadenhall being bad, the trade ruled lower at drooping prices, especially for the middling qualities of beef and mutton.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) )ARIS, SVNDA.; October 4. _ . The remains of Count Colonna Walewski, member of the Privy Council, senator, member of the Institute, suc cessively Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, President of the Legislative Body, and, Ambassador at tho English Court, were interred in the beautiful church of the Mada leine yesterday. The obsequies were as far as possible rendered worthy of one of the moat upright statesman that France has yet seen. Troops of various reghnents, Chas seurs, Hussars, Municipal Guards, and Zouaves, p: e the mourning coaches ; then came the hut- se, drawn by six richlycaparisoned horses, then one o!. the Em peror's State carriages, next a very large number of private carriages, then more guards an I mere carriages still. The spectacle was grand, though not of excep'..onal magnificence, and, of course, a very large number o!spec tators assembled. General regret is felt at this untimely death ; the more so as, whatever may have been Count Walewski's abilities, his character was such as France can 111 afford to lose. Spain still occupies public attention here ; the journalists write of nothing else, and at the Bourse Spanish matters are assuming greater and greater importance. It is merely a truism to say that the country is without money. Always at a low cbb, her finances have sunk to the most deplorable condition under the Government which has just fallen. Some time ago a few of the Paris bankers had seriously offered Queen Isabella's Ministry the extensive loan of £2,800,000, but it was refused on the pretext that the terms were too exorbitant. As if Spain was in a condition to conclude any advantageous bargain. Had the offerbeen accepted, and the treasure hadremainedin the coffers of the State, the position of those who are now mas ters of the Government would have been rendered much More easy. As it is, the exchequer is merely a name, and the new Government will experience much difficulty in making it a reality. In time of civil trouble soldiers must always be paid, and woe to the party which finds itself incompetent in this respect. When they cannot be paid they pay themselves. The position of the Spanish stock here is hardly so good as it was a short time ago. The Independance Beige says that Count Girgeuti re ceived a safe conduct from Marshal Serrano, and has one to Gibraltar. What he proposes to do it is impossible to divine. Letters from Prussia state that the military party around the King has already collapsed, so far as its influence is concerned, through one solitary circum stance. Count Bismarck is coming back to re-assume the direction of affairs at Berlin. M. Boutet, engineer and inventor of the , proposed inter national bridge between Dover and Calais, has been holding a conference at Arres, with a view to putting his idea in execution. The electric light is coming into use at Paris. On Friday evening it was employed to aid the workmen in the construction of a house on the Quai Voltaire, ncar the Pont Royal. The light shed on the street was so powerful that the horses, terrified at such an unusual illumination, refused to go forward. It has therefore become necessary to concentrate the light up)n the work to prevent it escaping to the street. Dtid de Valmy, Who is just dead, was son of the General Kelieunann who rained such a reputation in the wars of the Republic and the First Empire. The Due de Valmy was 69 ye - tra of age.

On Sunday morning barometrical pressure was ranch lower at all stations than it was on Saturday, but during the last twenty-fou hours it has recovered Itself : the oscillations have been greatest on our N. and E. coasts. At Aberdeen the reading is nearly half an Inch greater than it was yesterday. Much unifor ity now exists ill pressures. In Scotland temperature has fallen since Saturday :at southern stations it is a little higher. On Saturday evening an easterly gale blew on our E. °cast. Yesterday winds were generally light and variable, and continue so this morning, with calms in the Channel. The weather is now fine in the north, but cloudy in the west. Fog and mist are reported in places. Rain has been general during the last forty-eight hours. The disturbances on the border of the PunjAb have settled down for the - present. The show of force appalled the natives, who, moreover, seem to think that foreign warfare and internecine strife are quite compatible with each other. The hostility amongst the tribes is as formidable as their opposition to the Anglo-Indians. In fact, the reports from India are concerned more with sharp con tests amongst the natives than the war between their united forces and the Indian troops. The decision of the Government has so far been attended with the most complete success. The Indian journals have resumed their stock topic, Russian designs in Asia, and the old feud between the Times and the Friend has re-opened with increased vigour. The Friend apprehends much danger from the advance of Russia ; the Times laughs it to scorn. Neither estimate is, perhaps, exactly just ; for whilst the alarm on the one side may be exaggerated, it is difficult, on the other, to see the wisdom of treat'n; such a Power as Russia with contempt. The question, at least, ought to be carefully watched. The newly-appcinted Governor-General of India meets with very little support in the country which he has been assigned to rule. The Times of India re,;r _ts that neither Sir Stafford Northcol.e nor the Marco's of Sa'is. bury got the appointment, but with Lord Mayo it will have nothing to do. After eearrib:r g the onerous duties of the post, which demani mu :11 more ability than Lord Mayo has yet shewn, it says : "But setting asile for a moment the dangers likely to arise from incompetence, there is in this mere fact of Lord Mayo being chiefly known as a thorough thick-and-thin partisan, a sufficient reason against his eligibility. A Governor-General should, as a public character, be far removed from all party connections at home ; and the stronger his ties at home, the weaker will be his position in India. It cannot be but that, sooner or later, a mere partisan will come into collision with the supreme power at home, and we may fancy the confusion that would arise with such a downright statesman as Mr. Bright in the India House and the Irish earl at Calcutta. Where ainan has already made for himself a certain position as a states. man, the case is different ; and a politician like Sir Stafford Northcote would, by virtue of his experience and reputa tion, command the respect, and probably secure the cordial co-operation of political adversaries." Other journals write in a similar tone. The Anglo-Indians do not experience the slightest difficulty in selecting an eligible successor to Sir John Lawrence. On the contrary, they are rather embarrassed by the multi. tude of possible candidates. Besides Sir Stafford North cote and the Marquis of Salisbury, the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Kimberley, and Lord Napier of Magdala receive a certain amount of support. At least they are all preferred to Lord Mayo. The Australian public mind is not yet satisfied with the course of events following the termination of the deadlock. A suspicion, says the Melbourne Argus, has been growing in men's minds that Mr. McCulloch is not, after all, in. fallible. "The policy of that heaven-born statesman has somehow proved very disappointing. Two protective tariffs have not increased our prosperity. Twelve months' stoppage of supplies has not shaken the position of the Council. The ' famous victory,' in which Mr. M'Culloch compelled the people of England to do tardy justice to Sir Charles Darling has been a heavy tax upon loyal Liberal credulity. The state of the revenue is far from comfortable." It seems that Mr. * M c Culloch takes upon himself nearly all the duties of the Administration ; the politicians with whom be has surrounded himself are so .iontemptible that he cannot entrust important work to 1,113 m. A Ministry which was announced amid the utter amazement of both Houses, and which was palrably a makeshift, is not likely to last long, even although it be 6i a m ajority. But this result cann o t b e d eemed otihirtltled by an the natural sequence of such a crisis as that through which Australia has just passed. Things cannot be set to rights in a few days. Judging by the intrigue and scandal amongst Australian politicians at the present time, it would seem that the Ministry and the Assembly had chosen an English borough corporation for their model. It is, however, satisfactory to learn that the termination of the dead-lock is already bearing some good fruit. The Australians are turning their attention to the improvement of their splendid country, and several new railways of the most important character are to be constructed. It is hoped that at no distant date a through line between Mel , bounie and Sydney will be secured. MARLBOROUGH STREET. MISCHIEVOUS CONDUCT AT THE ALHAMBRA PALACE. —Brower Trist, a gilder, and Elizabeth Rogers, servant, were charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with behaving in a disorderly manner at the Royal Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square, and Rogers was further charged with assaulting Henry Roberts, a constable employed at the Al. hambra Palace. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Great Marlborough-street, appeared in support of the complaint, and said that on Saturday night the prisoner and another person, who was not in court, were in the gallery of the Alhambra, there being about 5,00 Dpersons present at the time, and they were foolish and mischievous enough to drop pieces of paper on the chandelier, so that they fell lighted among the persons below, making them think that the place was on fire,and that things were falling from the ceiling. They were ordered out of tha place, but as they refused to leave they were removed wad given into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said such conduct was highly dangerous, as persons got alarmed, and there was now knowing what might occur. Mr. John Reeves, superintendent at the Alham bra Palace, said that on Saturday night he was in the pit of the Alhambra, where he saw some pieces of lighted paper coming down, and noticed the female prisoner lighting pieces of paper in the jets of a chandelier, and with the other prisoner drop ping them into the pit. He went to the prisoners and told them that such an act might cause great alarm, and requested them to cease, and, as they would not do so, he sent for the police and gave them into custody. Henry Roberts said that on attempting to re move the prisoners the female prisoner scratched haud3. The female prisoner said that the pieces of paper blew over while she was looking at them, and the male prisoner said that it was not paper, but D itch metal, which was being used in the decorations of the Haymarket theatre. Mr. Tyrwhitt said wera pea; ms who were open to all sorts of mischief to please thems lives to the annoyance of everybody else. There was great danger in such conduct as the prisoners had been guilty of, as it was calculated to cause great alarm, and there might have been loss of life. The pri soners, who were a couple of foolish persons, had been locked up, and most properly so, and it served them right. The female would have to pay ss. for assaulting Roberts, and the man would be dis charged. WESTMINS rER. SUNDAY EVENING ROBBERIES. —George Brooks, a stranger to the police, was placed at the bar charged with having connived with another man not in custody in endeavouring to break into the shop of Mr. Carley, a tailor, at No. 1, St. Michael's-grove, Brompton. William Fitch, carman, 10, Arthur-street, Tre vor-square, Brompton, said that he was at his brother's stables attending to the horses in St. Mich tel's-grove, at seven on Sunday evening, when he heard some one trying keys in a door. Ile lis tened, and found that it was at the tailor's shop next door. lie suddenly went out from the stable, and found the prisoner and another man trying to get into Mr. Carley's shop. They had at the moment he interrupted them a key in the door. Directly they saw him they tried to escape, and prisoner threw away s)me skeleton keys. Witness seized and detained him; the other man escaped. James Haslan, a police-constable, said that hear ing cries of " Police" he went to St. Michael's grove, and found the prisoner struggling with the last witness. On searching prisoner after getting him to the station a patent latch key was found on him, and a skeleton key near where he was secured. Prisoner said something about its belonging to the man who had got away. Mr. W. Carley, tailor, said that his premises were left secure on Saturday night. He knew nothing of the prisoner. There was a great quantity of cloth on the premises. Prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A ROGUE IN GRAIN.—Thos. Outridge, a lighter man, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 461bs. of oats from the ship Result, in the Regent's Canal Dock. The Result was discharging a cargo of oats in the dock. A few days since the prisoner was seen by a constable named William Willoughby to take a bag of oats from the Result to the barge Ada, of which he had charge. The constable searched the Ada and found the bag of oats under a tarpaulin. The prisoner said ho took the oats for a corn mer chant as a sample. He now set up a similar de fence, but could not state the name or address of the person who employed him.; Mr. Paget said there was no doubt the prisoner had stolen the oats from the ship Result, and that 46!bs of oats was a large sample. He sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour for unlawful possession. Michael Wayland, a labourer, was charged with stealing a lock on board the ship Fugitive, of Laun ceston, lying in the West India Dock. The prisoner had the lock, a new one, and valued 25., under his cloak, and was bringing it out of the dock. He was stopped by Thomas Cook, an officer, and on being asked where he obtained the lock, he replied that it was given to him by the chief officer of the Fugitive. On the constable intimating that he should wait on the chief officer, he said, " I picked it up ; I thought it was of no use." Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of the lock. FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT ON TIIE THAMES.-FOUR LIVES LOST. Last evening, about seven o'clock, a four-oared skiff was passing through one of the arches of Westminster-bridge, which is being repaired, a barge ;being placed there for the workmen's use, making it dangerous for boats to pass underneath. Suddenly a cry arose for assistance, and it was then discovered that a boat had upset, and that those on board were all in the water. A boat named Lewis at once rowed to the spot, and, for tunately, was the means of saving one life. It was then discovered that four others were in the water, but owing to the darkness all of them unfortunately perished. Only one of the four bodies has yct been recovered. NATIONAL Ex LIBATION OF WORKS OF A ItT AT LEEDS. —Return of admissions, Friday, October 2.—By season tickets, 1,194 ; by payment of ls. 6d. each, 1,253 ; total, 2,447.

Market good demand and advancing; i higher. An announcement has been received at Chatham that Messrs. Napier and Sons, of Govan-yard, Glasgow, have taken the contract for constructing the new iron-clad ship Hotspur, for the Admiralty, which vessel will be built under the superinten dence of AIL W. Pearce, late of Chatham dockyard, and now manager of Messrs. Napier and Sons' esta blishment. The Hotspur is intended to be an iron ram, her length being 235 feet, and her breadth of beam 50 feet. She will be the first vessel built in this country to carry her guns, working on a turn table, in a fixed tower, although there are several of these ironclads built, or building, in the French Imperial marine. Her armour-plating along her broadsides will be 11 inches in thickness, with a backing of teak of 10 inches, and the usual inner iron plating. She is designed to carry an 18-ton 450-pounder gun on a turntable, in a fixed tower, with four portholes, the gun working on the turn table from port to port. The tonnage of the Hot spur will be 2,637 tons, and she will be of 600- horse power. The probable amount to be expended on her this year is £30,000. She is to be built from the designs of Mr. E. J. Reed, C.B. A court-martial was resumed at the Government House, Mount Wire, on Friday, for the trial of Sergeant T. Dawson, of the 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade, for conduct prejudicial to military rules, in aiding and abetting Corporal Lucas in writing an anonymous letter to his Royal Highness the Duke of,Cambridge. Lieut. and Adjt. E. H. Chamberlin, of the Rifle Brigade, appeared to pro secute, assisted by Mr. G. H. E. Rundle ; and Mr. T. C. Brian appeared for the prisoner. The charge having been read the prisoner pleaded guilty, and threw himself on the merciful consideration of the court. Adjt. Chamberlin said that the prisoner's general character was very good. He was attested on the 18th November, 1845, and had served 19 years and 11 days towards the completion of his time. The prisoner was 37 years of age, and was in possession of the Crimean medal, with clasps for Alma, Inkerman, and Sebastopol, the Turkish medal, the Indian medal, with a clasp for Lucknow, and the medal for long service and good conduct, with a gratuity of £l5. The sentence will not be made known for about a fortnight. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BIRMINGIIA3I.—At a late hour on Friday night a fire was discovered on the premises of the Britannia Flour Mills Company, in Princess-street, Birmingham. From some unexplained cause delay occurred in getting the fire-engines to the spot, and by the time of their arrival ono wing of the building was a mass of flame —this was the granary ; and so great a hold had the fire obtained that for some time it was feared the warehouse, which is separated from the other part of the premises by a pair of massive iron doors, would also ba destroyed. For tunately the firemen were able to prevent this, but it was getting towards daylight on Saturday morning before the fire was safely subdued. Seveaal thousand quarters of corn have been destroyed, and the amount of loss has been estimated at from £5,000 to £B,OOO. The origin of the fire is in a great measure conjecture. POLICE IN TELLIG ENCE— This Day. BOW-STREET. ISSUING FICTITIOUS CHEQUES.—CharIes Stan bridge,a gentlemanly-dressed man,was charged with issuing false cheques with intent to defraud. Patrick O'Hara, a wardrobe keeper, residing in Judd-street, said the prisoner came to his shop some time ago and purchased a dress for a young lady, who accompanied him. He paid for it with a cheque for £3 10s., and that on presenting it for payment at the bank he was told there was no effects. His wife met the prisoner yesterday morn ing, and gave him into custody. Mr. Stansbury, manager of the London Com mercial Bank, Sloane-street, said the prisoner opened an account with the bank in June last, and paid in a small sum of money. A cheque of £2B was paid into his account, but it was dishon oured. The prisoner had withdrawn his ac count, and since that time about twenty cheques have been presented by him, and some for large amounts, and drawn by him. They gave him a cheque-book when he deposited the account. There was never anything to his account after 26th July. The prisoner was then remanded. SPORTING NOTES. The Newmarket October Meeting, which commences to-day, will witness the decision of the second last of the great autumn handicaps. To-morrow (Tuesday) the most conspicuous features in the list are the Cesare witch and Clearwell. The Cesarewitch Handicap (21- miles) will attract a strong field, notwithstanding the favour in which Blue Gown and other horses are at pre sent held. Paul Jones is overweighted, and is not nearly so good a horse as his owner believes him to ba. Hermit will perhaps do battle for th 3 Chaplia-Machell division, and that ho will play a prominent part in the race we have little doubt, as he is not overweightod 9st,. when it is remembered ho is a Derby winner. Now that Ilium i s amiss, Cliff's stable will have to rely on Kidderminster, 7st 61b ; but although the last-n mad horse will stay the dis tance, we have no fancy for him, neither should I have had for Ilium had he kept well. Cowley's pair are The Mariner aad Papillon, and the first-named, though he is ILA well in, will probably run `in Mr. Brayley's interests, with little chance, however, of winning. Marquis of Cara bas is said to be a useful outsider, but I think him an overrated horse. Guy of Warwick, Knight Errata, and the colt by Tom Bowline out of Makeshift, are Joseph Dawson's lot; but although Knight Errant is a good horso when his day arrives, I cannot trust either of this trio Tam!) EDITION SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCS.—This Day. NEWMARKET RA.CES,Tins DAY, (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRLPIL ) OCTOBER PRODUCE STAKES. The October Produce Stakes of 100 sovs each. h it, for two year olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b. Last five furlongs of A.P. 9 subs. Belladrum . for the race under notice. In Mat. Dawson's team there is no Julius, as Casse Tete and Head Centre are moderate, and Honesty is not the good horse the public believe him to be. J. Dawson may have a good favourite in Donaldbain, Mercury, or Minster Bell, most probably Mercury, as Donaldbain is a very shifty customer, [and Minster Bell a thorough jade. John Day has not a second Lecturer in Birdseeker or Herald; but T. Day has a useful filly in Lady Raglan, who will be hard to beat. William Day is represented by The Special and Our Mary Ann, and the former horse, if wanted, is sure to figure in the front ranks. At present the market wears a suspicious aspect respecting The Special, but should he be resuscitated I shall place him on my reserve list, as there is a good race in this horse yet. Choral, Black Diamond, and Elmira are indifferent animals, though Black Diamond, who is the best of the trio, will stay the course. Reltub, who is turned loose, is a bad horse, and will not, we should imagine, see the post. Eto:le Filante goes fast, but cannot stay. Blueskiu and Corsair aro Mr. Savile's pair, and for the first-named horse we have a strong penchant, as he is one of the gamest colts over foaled, and will be galloping when a lot of the impostors are beaten off. Abergaldie will not stay the distance, and his stable companion, judging by the tone of the market, will be re served for the Cambridgeshire. The filly by Newminster out of the Irish Queen will prove the best of W. Goatees lot, as Owain Glyndwr is an infirm horse, and Romping Girl is over-weighted. Goodwood is a game, honest horse, and will beat more than beats him, as stay ing is the forte of this son of Rataplau. Capsicum has no chance of winning, as his antecedents aro bad. Restitu tion will represent Baron Rothschild. East Lancashire is a patched-up horse, and has lost the fine racing qualities ho once possessed. Mr. Hughes's lot are Ackworth, Planet, Redcap, and Young Rapid. From this lot a dangerous opponent to the leading favourites will come, and it will no doubt be Planet, who, I ant informed, has ac quitted himself in a recent trial to the satisfaction of his astute owner; and whatever beats this useful son of Lauibton will, in my, opinion, win the Cesarewitch: The French team,in which are Goudolier,Nelusko, Nemea, and Pietro—the latter of whom, however, is not the pro perty of Count. Lagrange—present a bold front, and the best, which we take to be Pietro, will take an infinity of beating. ICingsland will be reserved for the Cambridge shire, in which race he is certain to figure in the front ranks. Cecil is a goal horse, and if brought out for this race will, in my judgment, beat every three-year-old en gaged, save Bluekskin and Lady Raglan. Blue Gown promises to be one of the strangest handicap favourites ever known; but Bst 111 b is a "steadier" for a compara tively small horse over this severe course, and I cannot even assign a place to Sir Joseph Hawley's colt, as some of the light-weighted three-year-olds are sure to hunt down the clever son of Beadsman in the lastquarter of a mile of the race. The Spy has never run like a stayer, and, more over, no boy can get this lazy son of Underhand out. Mexico and Bandmaster have racently been amiss, though the latter, if he only stands a preparation, will one day prove a good horse. Runic is a bad-shouldered pony, and Wadlow's second string, See Saw, is put out of court by his 71b penalty. Dolby will not start, but his owner's interests are likely to be represents(' by one of the Epsom candidates. Safety is a slow, game filly, but her light impost may bring her house in the front division, though she does not road like a winner. Stradbroke lam tired of waiting for, but his owner is sanguine of win ning, and vows the horse will beat all the leading favourites; and, as Stradbroke can stay the course, he may run better than he did at Chester and Goodwood. Lord Stamford's string includes Charts wood, Vale Royal, and Warrington, all of whom are good horses. Ju lging by the present aspect of the market, Warrington will be the trusted one, and that he will run we have little doubt. Still he is not bred like a stayer, and I apprehenl Warrington will act batter in the Cambridgeshire than in the Cosarewitch. Ecartd is a mean-looking horse. Tormentor has lost all heart, though she is remarkably well treated in this race. Wardour has not been seen in public this year, and 1 a:n, therefore, ignorant of his merits, if he has any. Summing up these remarks, I have only to retain Lady Raglan, Cecil, and Blueskin as my champions; and, iu reducing them, I shall stand or fall with LADY RAGLAN. There is tin excellent entry of thirty-nine for the Clear well Stakes (5 furlongs 14.0 yards), and the most notable names in the list are Duke of Beaufort, Thor, Chaucer, Martinique, Lady Cecilia, Pero Gomez, Boulog,no, Elec ricity, Prince Imperial, Archduke, and Border Knight. Either of the "dark" horses—Prince Imperial, Pero Gomez, or Chaucer—is good enough to beat all the public form; but, as they are engaged in the rich Middle Park Plato, neither of them may run for the Clear well. Should Prince Imperial, however, be brought out, he must have my vote, and only in his absence should I look for the success of Martinique, who is a very smart filly. live races have closed for Wednesday, and the principal feature in that day's card is the Middle Park Plate (6 fur longs), which has attracted 180 entries. Amongst the horses engaged are many " dark" celebrities, and the pub lic performers are also strongly represented. The most notable names in the list aro Tasman, ltyshworth, Bads worth, Strathnairn, Scottish Queen, Typhon, Thor, The Orphan, Chanoinesse, Fairminster, Consternation, Blair Drummond, Chaucer, Chatelherault, Woodman, Pero Gomez, Morna, Flower Girl, Lady Dawhurst, Belladrum, Pretender, Brigantine, Boulogne, Martyrdom, Elec tricity, Chatsworth, Prince Imperial, Abstinence, Teno dos, and Border Knight. Belladrum, notwithstanding his 71b penalty, will probably bo elected the favourite ; but to the non-public pirformers—the best of whom are Tasman, Prince Imperial, Chaucer, Scottish Queen, Pero Gomez, and Fairminster— shall I look for the winner; and, if rumour speaks truly, the successful candidate will turn up in Pero Gomez, Prince Imperial, or Tasman. The Bedford Stakes (6 furlongs) should be won 1.3 Typhon, though Masaniello, if in his spring form, will be bad to dispose of. In the Select Stakes (Rowley Mile) Speculum ought to beat Vale Royal and Typhoeus, who are the best horses entered against the Duke of Newcastle's colt. The Windsor Stakes (5 furlongs 140 yards) will be credited to Electricity or Masaniello ; and the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each (Criterion Course) to Athelstano. The completed events for Thursday are the Newmarket Oaks, the Bretby Stakes, a Biennial Post Match, and a brace of Sweepstakes. In the Newmarket Oaks (2 middle miles) 69 fillies have been engaged, and the best of those are Athena, Pearlfeather, Frolicsome, Loonie, Formosa, Green Sleeve, Naivete, St. Angela, Nyanza, Mysotis, Lady Rag lan, Veda, Rotty, Casse Tote, and Happy Thought. For mosa is penalised 71b, but to hor and Athena the r a ce will be confined, and the last named filly ha■ im proved so much since the pair met in the One Thousand Gnineas that it is just on the cards for her to beat the St. Leger winner. For the Bretby Stakes (six furlongs) 15 fillies have been nominated, the pick of whom are Crocus, Martinique, Fairminster, Basilia, Toison d'Or, and the Maid of Masham filly. The latter will probably be elected the favourite, but our representative must bo Martinique. The Sweepstakes of 500 sovs each (Rowley mile) will be secured by Athena; the Sweepstakes of 300 sovs each (6 furlongs) by Abstinence ; and the Biennial Post Match (across the Flat) by Herald. The only closed races for Friday are the Newmarket Derby and the Prendergast Stakes. For the Newmarket Derby (lj r miles) 73 colts and fillies have been named, amongst which are Typhoeus, Kettleholder, Herald, St. Ronan, Courtmantle, See Saw, Rosicrucian, Bel Giorno, Banditto, Nelusko, Phoebus, Harvester, King Alfred, Suffolk, Cap-a-Pie, Vale Royal, Warrington, and Socrates. From those horses a goodly field ought to be selected, but I give the preference to Suffolk and See-Saw. Thera is a capital entry for the Prendergast Stakes (5 furlongs 140 yards), and in the list aro Chaucer, Duke of Beaufort, Tasman, The Orphan, Basilia, Flower Girl, Pero Gomez, Morna, Siderolite, Chatsworth, Tenedos, Strathnairn, Border Knight, and the colt by Tim Whiffler out of Her mione. Several of these horses will have run in the Middle Park Plate prior to this race being decided ; but at present my choice is Pero Gomez and Tasman, both of whom are high-class cots. A FRESH. MAN.

THE IMENDED PRIZE FIGII7'. --ii- - This afternoon Hooke, who was on Saturday apprehended by Inspector George Silverton and Sergt. Pahner at Watford, on a warrant charging him with being about to commit a breach of the peace by engaging in a prize fight for £25 aside with a man named Goller, was brought to Bow street Police-court in order to put in bail for future good conduct. Twenty-four hours' notice having been given to Inspector Silverton of the names of the parties offering themselves, inquiry had been mtde, and, in answer to Mr. Flowers, the magistrate, Inspector Silverton said he was quite satisfied that the bail tendered was of a responsible description, and therefore the prisoner might safely be allowed to go at liberty. Mr. Flower said he was glad to hear iL, and he was further gratified at the frank ness of Rooke, who at once withdrew from that which he found was illegal. A man need not be a liar although he was to fight, and lie should have accepted his bail on Saturday last only he had not the power. lie hop„ that his friends and comp mions would see the folly of attempting to engage in such contests, as whatever the secresy observed it would be useless, as the police in the present instance had shown. The necessary forms having been gone through, Rooke was discharged. SEIIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day, PLYMOUTH, Monday Morning.
