The stock markets are quiet, with a moderately firm 115 ae• One feature is a demand for the guaranteed stocks of some of the leading railways, and the bonds of the Russian Nicolai Company have advanced about 1 per cent. American stocks are, to some extent, quoted at higher prices, without the business in them presenting any peculiar feature. British railways maintain yesterday's quotations. Foreign securities are favourably affected by a slight reaction which took place on the Paris Bourse yesterday. The Discount Market is firm with rates at 2 per cent. It is only in exceptional cases that business is done, at 1 7-8 per cent. The English Funds are steady, at yesterday's prices.

United States Five -Twenty Bonds are inquired for at 70k to A l ; Erie shares are I better, at 454 to 46; and Illinois, k, at 93 to 94. Guaranteed foreign railway obligations are in active request. There is a fresh rise of 1 per cent. in the Nicolai Bonds, which are now quoted 66 to 664, and ~„o f iin Orel-Vitebsk, at 781 to 781 ex div. The Egyptian Railway Loan is 894 to 904. Lo mbardo -Venetian Railway Shares are quoted 4 lower, ut 15g to 15,.. The dividend will probably be officially announced on Monday. It is expected tc compare unfavourably with previous dividends. The aearance of the railway market is f av ourable, but there is so little business doing in this depart ment that quotations are for the most part unchanged.

Lewes Spring Handicap : Python. champion of the blue and yellow, Suffolk, who was made a hot favourite for the anxiously-looked for Biennial, in the face of what had been said as to the relative merits of the two. So ridiculous did the idea of his inferiority appear, the talent would have it their trial was all a mistake, and that Suf folk's public form might yet be the proper criterion of his merits. On the strength of - this he had a very fair chance against The Earl and Blue Gown, especially as rumour had not favoured them of late, though it was easy to perceive he had wintered the worse of the three. The Gown's appearance was quite marvellous to those who had listened to the awful reports rife concerning him ever since the previous Saturday. Had the Earl not been a companion of Lady Elizabeth, he, too, would have touched a much shorter price before the race was laid after, so much was he admired. Beyond the three, there was no candidate of any note in the field, what little improvement The Parson had shown on his overthrow of the soft Court Mantle being negatived by the brief interval allowed him for resting. Three of the remainder—Nelusko, Boanerges, and Stamford—belonging to the un known division, and of these Nelusko made a better show than the Parson, running so well with the Earl for a long way as to give the Frenchman a pretty good idea of the capabilities of the Danebury second string, and also auguring that he will yet do a good thing on his own account. The repre sentatives of the two great Derby divisions, at the same time, got a capital line of each other; and if we are to believe that Silenus really beat The Earl in a recent spin Matthew Dawson has the measure of them both, so that the Marquis of Hastings, Sir Joseph Hawley, and the Duke of Newcastle have only to compare notes when the proper time arrives to reduce the Derby as nearly to a certainty as pos sible. Obstinate followers of public form would naturally give the Newmarket stable the preference now, owing to Pace having beating The Earl and Blue Gown last Doncaster, when he was palpably be low the mark, and to :Speculum's surprising "paper" superiority to Moslem ; but the long odds to be had about the sons of Young Melbourne and Bas Bleu plainly signify that Lady Elizabeth, with Rosi crucian or Green Sleeve, must be immeasurably their superiors, and certainly nothing decisive can be arrived at by " outsiders," pending the Two and One Thousand, as to which the three gentlemen above-named possesses the best of this season's flying three year olds. That the Earl and Blue Gown are defunct for the Derby has long been in dicated by the market, for it has not been a case of laying one day and backing the next on the part of the rulers of the price current, but a steady, per sistent opposition that even " public money" cannot check. Pace, on the contrary, has always had plenty of friends to come to his rescue, and they have their confidence in his being the best strengthened not only by a trial wherein be is stated to have conic off victo rious, but by the opposition that broke out against Speculum because he did not beat a filly of Lord Glasgow's in his race on Thursday in a style to please the critics. What more they could want than an easy victory it is hard to guess, and, besides, the dark filly was receiving no less than 201 b. ; nevertheless, there is the fact that Pace is now quite as good a favourite, for all his shirk ing the easy task that was before him yesterday, and it must be admittedtheson of Caterer and Lady Trespass goes very like a Hermit in the market just now. The race he missed, fortunately, was not devoid of interest, as it brought out a very useful member of Lord Glasgow's nameless crew, whose success, coupled with the form shown by some of his companions at the meeting, caused renewed atten tion to be directed to the representatives of the crimson and white. He is not in the Two Thousand' but a better horse may be found in the string when they are put together—a proceeding that will be taken very shortly, we believe—and it is on the cards that Lord Glasgow will cut in for all the great three year old races of the year. (From the Bp ()rang Gazette.) I believe if the Two Thousand is destined to fall to a Newmarket trained horse—that the winner will be race, tnougn wherever he twines, Vale Royal is bound to be. Le Sarrazin, it was generally re ported, won his trial with Nelusko, Ouragan, and Montagnard, since which his name has appeared in the quotations at lessening figures ; and as they also back him for the " Blue Riband," it is to be sup posed his spin was quite satisfactory to Count Lagrange's a s t u t e trainer. The meetings for next week are Lewes Spring, Thirsk, and Croydon, the programmes issued for which give promise of some good racing. Tuesday and Wednesday are the days appointed for the reunion on the beautiful south downs, a visit to which, now that the weather has got mild, will be most enjoyable. Five of the races on the list for Tuesday are closed, the most important of which is :;the Craven Handicap, which is run on the T.Y.C. Twenty-seven horses have been weighted for it, of whom I consider CHIVALRY, 3 yrs, 7st 51b; LICTOR, 3 yrs, 7st 21b; and SUGARSTICK, 3 yrs, 6st, to be the best in. In the Two Year Old Plate seventeen youngsters are engaged, with a probability of its falling to ELECTRICITY. For the Town 1. Plate thirty-three horses have been weighted, of Whom GOODFELLOW and CRoM WELL appear to me to have a good chance. For the Welter Cup twenty-three horses have been handicapped, of whom I prefer the chances of FEODOR and DOURO. For the Lewes Spring Handicap thirty-one horses have been weighted, the greater number are en gaged on the first day, consequently a great deal will depend on their previous performances. Pow- DEREIA3I, 6 yrs, 7st 41b ; HOP LEAF, 5 yrs, 7st 41b ; and CIIORAL, 3 yrs, 6.3 t, I consider to have an ex cellent chance. The programme for Thirsk, like that of Catte rick Bridge, shows such a marked improvement, compared with those issued for the last three or four years, that racing is evidently becoming more popular than ever in the North Riding of York shire. The list for Tuesday extends to five races, four of which are already closed—viz., the Mow bray Stakes, the Hambleton Plate, the Sowerby Plate, and the Hunt Cup. Twelve horses have been nominatedfor the Mowbray Stakes, nearly ail of whom are " dark." For the Hambleton Plate forty horses have been weighted to run a mile, which is a distance so suited to CzAR, 5 yrs, Bst ; VULCAN, 4 yrs, 6st 101 b ; QUALITY, 3 yrs, Est 101 b ; and EVELTNA, 3 yrs, 6st 51b, that I fancy the winner is among them. In the Sowerby Plate twenty-two h orses are en gaged, of whom SKYSAIL, 4 yrs, E s t 131 b, oug h t to win. _ The Hunt Cup, in which fourt een h orses are en gaged, looks a goo d thing for S CARRI On the second day there are thirty-five horses nominated for the Tilirsk Handicap, to run one mile and three-quarters. The three horses I con sider best in are KING OF T HE F AIRIES, 4 yrs, 7st 71b ; Frolicsome, 3 Yrs, Est 21b ; and Evelina, 3 yrs, 6st 2lb ; and I give th e pre f erence to the former. _ The Silver Cup will fall to SCARRINGTON or HELEN ; but respecting the Falcon Plate I can give no opinions, as the issue is entirely dependent on the running of the first day. The meetings of the coming wee k on wh i ch we shall offer advice are Thirsk) Lewes, and York and Croydon Steeplechases. York Steeplechases com mence on Monday. The principal event, the Great Yorkshire Handicap, has 20 sub scr ib ers, the Doctor having the post of honour, by Mr. Johnson accord ing him 12st 121 b to carry; an impost 1 should think he would never try successfully to carry. Meanwood is nicey weighted at list 101 b, and will, if his owner approves of his weight, as near win as possible. Next to him, I esteem the chance of Mr. Welfitt's selected oue—Tathwell and Greenland. The former, it will be remembered, the other week won the Bedford Grand Steeplechase in a common canter. Mr. Georg e Simpson's mare , o ld Diana, looks best to trust if he prefers the Hunters' Steeplechase to the grand event of the day. Next to Diana, Rickaby's Woldsman appears most trustworthy if found at the post. Thirsk and Lewes meetings commence on . Tuesday next, and the items at botitplacefi Wald, Z thick, be beet left alone till the morning of the races, as any idea we may have now as to their result will be then pro bably changed. Still, we may point to Czar's running at Catterick on Thursday as very good, and him or Evelina might carry off the Ilambleton Plate. Fobert looks threatening with Liberal and Frolicsome in the Thirsk Handie gyp.—Locket. THE THIRSK SPRING MEETING. Bell's Life.—liambleton Plate : Skylark.

A genuine old-established Craven Meeting has just been held, forcibly reminding one of the days when Newmarket was select, and half-a-dozen spirited contests in the course of a week were deemed satisfactory. Even on the "grand" day there wag: an alaconoo of anything liko a ; , and , further, the sensations incidental to the doings of the pencil were of the mildest kind, notwithstanding trials were coming off morn, noon, and night in such quick succession as to quite bewilder even pro fessional horse-watchers. But for the misfortune that bef el poor Typhoeus the market changes would not have been of vast import, the movement con cerniug the remaining cracks in the Two Thousand and Derby simply tending to strengthen their positions in nearly every case, for it happened that those located at Newmarket we did not see perform in public were generally liked by the legion of amateur touts each morning. Pace's appearance and going quite astonished many who had been led to believe, from the long odds laid against him for both races, that he was as " dead" as is Typhceus, and who had heard all sorts of depressing stories to account for his downfall. Newmarket men, how ever, seem to have agreed to differ over him,. and it is still insisted in some quarters he is a roarer. His " dark" stable companion, Harvester, is quite deserted, the general- idea being that he is " not good enough." Vale Royal, like Pace, has his de tractors as well as admirers, though it is universally admitted that he possess a wonderful turn of speed, and that, if he can only stay the Rowley Mile, his party's fondness will be rewarded by his at least ob taining one of the coveted places in the Two Thousand contest, if he is not absolutely Al. The only other three year old " celebrities" at Newmarket we did not see perform in public are St. Ronan, Le Sar razin, and Rabican, the former of whom was with drawn from the Biennial for the sake, it is under stood, of the more important affair next Tuesday week, but is still au outsider, and will ever remain so unless he has been made two stone better than he was last autumn, a dream his make and shape do not allow the most enthusiastic followers of the Hermit rose to indulge in. The forward running of Nelusko in the Biennial, with the victory of Montagnard, could not revive the fallen fortunes of Rabican, Le Sarrazin being introduced in his stead, on the strength of a good trial with the first-named. Coventry e meeting ; o Had all three ru n f or t h e open i ng sp i n some amen ds would have been ma d e f or th e s h ortcom i ngs by the m fbuKnighta otrfeatthwe asGnaerttehir storean d for L theady critics, as there was no intention of two, despite the mistake committed in hoisting both numbers, and it must still be left to guesswork how much there is between this year's great gun, Specu lum, and the cream of last season's two-year-olds. Had the Knight and the Lady met, a pretty reli able line in this direction must have been obtained, seeing the Knight was conceding Speculum 311 b. in the City and Suburban, and would here give 321 b to Lady Coventry, who in the Middle Park Plate was some 101 b. inferior to Lady Elizabeth, Rosicru clan, Formosa, and Green Sleeve. The Speculum party could make little out of the triumph in the Free Handicap of their trial horse, Silenus, so wretchedly bad were the lot he defeated ; neverthe less it was gratifying in more ways than one that he did win ; and the followers of the hoops have every reason to be pleased likewise with the iesult of the contestbetween the vaunted Restitution and Moslem just afterwards. After the freshly-christened brother to Knight of the Crescent's form at Epsom and Northampton, which made him out all two stone worse than Speculum and a stone behind Ironmaster, it appeared a certainty that a horse capable of run ning a good third to the former and Le Sarrazin in the Woodcote, and that had boate.n Suffolk withal in a trial, could dispose of him without much trouble; and even those not over-sweet on the Baron's colours scarcely entertained the idea of Restitution's upset, all they could urge being that if he did not win very easily he was not " in" the Guineas or Derby. Ilence the defeat was a real surprise, and Moslem betrayed so much improvement in condition that his recent disgraces were freely forgiven, the critics voting him a real good " rough outsider" for the Two Thousand. The Fyfield followers backed him for that race at the long prices, and were quite cook-a-hoop at the Derby prospects of the filly Franchise, whose upsetting all the cracks that run for the One Thousand is not looked upon as a very remote probability now. Restitution, as a matter of course, returns to the region of obscurity, accompanied by another whilom TRAINING REPORTS. KINGSCLERE.—Thursday. Xi led Vagabond, King Go phetua, Pero Gomez, Nyl Gau, and Sister to Rosicrucian a steady gallop of a mile. Satyr galloped by himself two miles. The Palmer piloted Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve in a three-parts speed gallop of nearly two miles. Wolsey, Cotytto, Fakir, and Adosinda galloped the same distance. Friday.— The Palmer led Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve two canters of a mile. Xi led Vagabond, King Cophetua, Pero Gomez, Nyl Gast, and Sister b Rosicrucian a lice half-speed gallop of nearly a mile. Wolsey led The Palmer, Rosicrucian, and Green Sleeve a good gallop of a mile and three-quarters, all pulling up sound and well. Blue Gown, Siderolite, and Vabalathus took things easy. Rosi eruciau is getting into duo form, but, of course, is not so fit as Green Sleeve. I have a great liking for this filly, but whichever Sir Joseph Hawley asks for the Two Thousand will be very hard to dispose of. NEWMARKET, Weduesday.—Courtmautle, Tregcagle, and Kingsley cantered together. The Pope and Brother to Claverhouse did some useful work. Roquefort was sent to lead Vale Royal a gallop, and when about half the distance was got over he again ruptured a blood vsssel, and bled profusely. Vale Royal went on by himself, being full of go. King Charming led 'Typhoeus a good gallop of nearly a mile and a half, and towards the finish, when out of my sight, Typhoeus, it appears, pulled up lame. I am sorry for this, on. account of his owner, who is a thorough sportsman, and has hereby lost a great chance of winning the Two Thousand. Capitaine, Le Sarrazin, and Mercure each went a steady gallop ; also the two yr olds, Curieuse being the most prominent among them. Trocadero led Dragon two miles at a good pace. Hermit was sent quite two miles by himself. Target and Blinkhoolie did a useful gallop. St. Ronan. went about a mile, at a pretty fair speed. Armourer, Beauty, Kettluholder, and Goodwood galloped a mile and a half. Python only cantered steadily. Qui Vive, Whitby, Claymore, and Grimston galloped a mile. Pirate Chief led Friponnier a real good gallop. Hippia, Jasper, King Alfred, and Restitution did about the same as on the previous day. Demonstration, Stephen Langton, and Handsome Jack galloped. Havelock and Minuet did some good work, looking and going well. These have made considerable improvement under the charge of their young trainer. Pericles, Honesty, Pace , and Speculum were sent a good gallop, Daley beiug on Pace. Gomera led Miss Havelock two miles. Julius travelled the same distance by himself. Thursday-- -Dom bastes led Speculum and Julius a mile on the Limekilns. Bombastes only came here one night this week. Pace on l y had two steady canters. Vale Royal took a nice gallop on the tan, and then went about a mile and a half on the Limekilns, going strong and well. Le Sarrazin was tried early this morning, but that is all I can tell you, except that Nelusko was put through the mill with him. STOCKBRIDGE, Thursday.—Mr. Briggs and Lady Raglan went a steady gallop of about a mile. Logarithm led Lady Elizabeth a mile and a quarter ata good speed all the way, the crack going beautifully. Friday —The: Dauebury horses only had two brisk canters of a mile. Athena led Lady Elizabeth each time. Tons Day's, after cantering once, were galloped as follows :—Regalia led Lady R ag l an smartly a mile and a half. Mr. Briggs led the Blackbird colt a mile. The two year olds were going well. I was very well pleased to see that all our horses performed very respectably at Newmarket, although all did not wi n. Though the Earl pulled through in the Biennial he has no earthly chance for the Derby while the mare keeps well. _ _ n d te h s a s d e t e o lt,, be andß e M ll l h D a D d LE a li t a w at e , ed le n g e n s u day. op. Ladya.dy Vane a thigh, Vane e fell n and be Minster de stroyed. Thursday.—Palisade, yards from the finish, broke her Affection went a rattling gallop of two mil es , all going gi l a ou n first-class. Pretty John and Weather Star galloped steadily. Dawson sent his lot the mile gallop three times, as did Fobert with his team. Our Cheater Cup and Great Northern horses are all looking and going remarkably well. The Czar or Sister to Little Agnes ought to win the Thirsk Handicap, and whichever Dawson runs for the Hambledon Plate (King of the Fairies) will win ; not doing much work of late, but he does not require a great deal. Honesty will be our best for the Sowerby Plate, and Glenavon for the Mowbray Stakes. LEWES.—At Easbourne, we have engaged in the Handi cap Belle of Kars, who is very well, and did a nice gallop. this morning (Friday); but, as she has three other engage ments, I cannot possibly say which she may run for. Tradesmen's Plate.—Miss Elizabeth and Belle of Kars are engaged. Miss Elizabeth is looking very well, but she has been a very indifferent performer. The same pair aro also in the Innkeepers' Plate, but I think neither of them good enough to win. Flying Spur aud Belle of Kars are in the Hurdle Race, but, in my opinion, - neither likes jump ing. For our own Spring Meeting we have several doing good work. Town Plate.—Sweet Buy, Tom Vernon, Belle of Kars, Festival, and Wolul are in, and if any of them has a chance it is Festival. Welter Cup.—Leases, I think, will be found our best, but he has tio much weight on to please me. Craven Handicap. —Lictor, Choral, Toat Ver non, and Needlework are entered, au I Lictor is much the best, but in my opinion he is waiting for something better. ErsoM.—On Wednesday, Sherwood gave the following some capital work :—Marquis of Worcester, Thorndyke, Brown Jug, Sea Serponr, Bonnie Katie, and Vanbrugh. Armstrong seat Aurifera, Tott, Diophantus filly, and Spider rattling along at a rare pace. Nightingall and Reeves were busy with their respective strings. Skirmish led the Dundee colt a good striding gallop of a mile and a half, and Columbine, Berserker, Arupleforth, and Lady Pam took several nice canters. Thursday. —Reeves gal loped Onyx, Antias, Electricity, Nanny Thormanby, Juanita, Kismet, and Queen Ebba a mile, and Lord Derby led Thornicroft a mile and a half at a good pace. Foxholes, Carnage, Premier, Fawn, and Bannockburn all went a good gallop of a mile and a half. I noticed the following of Hughes's lot returning from Leatherhead, all looking as if they had been doing good work :—Ackworth, Planet, Professor Anderson, Am bitious, Powderham, Macduff, Young Rapid, colt by M• Phillippe, Melinda, and the Mentmore filly. G. Simpson was busy with Breach of Promise, Red Star, Little Tommy, Blondin, and Bay Rosalind colt. Friday.—Ailes bury, Warlike, Redivivus, Merry Andrew, Uucas, Cecil, Pocket Hercules, Ulan, Owen Ros., Elector, Mulgrave, Shepherdess, and Shinible Shamble, after several canters, wont twice up to the old Mile-past. Aurifera and Spider went a good gallop of a mile and a half. Skirmish and Dundee colt were sent a nice gallop. Beeswing is still an absentee, and as the Chester Cup day is getting so near, I fear her chance is extinguished. MaizoN.--Our horses doing goal work on Tuesday were Camillo, the Buccaneer filly, Mother Noasham, Di Spanker, Agrippa, the Vedette filly, Blacklock, Fectalis, Loyal Oak, My Lord, Baby Whip, 'thankful, Kentish Fire, The Clipper, Merry and Wise, 'Coition d'Or, and Betrayal. Wednesday—Westwiek, Viscount, War, Taraban, Zapolya, Fecialis, My Lord, Royal Oak, Ruby Whip, Thunder, and Betrayal were being sent along. Thursday—Flash Emma, The Cure colt, and Consternation took a couple of brisk canters. The first named is a good-looking mare, and has been on a visit to Cramond. Betrayal had a three-parts speed gallop of a mile and a half. Camillo led Buccaneer filly and Agrippa a rasping gallop of a mile. Tke Vedette filly took a similar spin by herself. Mother Neasltam and Di Spanker galloped at a moderate pace. Blacklock had a couple of gallops of a mile, and no horse can be doing better than this one. George Osbaldeston, Malta, and Lady Zetland were doing work on private ground ; they are looking remarkably well. Traitress, Mountain Maid, and Punster are engaged at York, and they have been doing three and four-mile gallops daily. The last-named has much improved since he last ran. The following will leave here on Tuesday morning for their Thitsk engagements:—Camillo, Mother Neasham, Malta, and Zapolya, while War is expected to go. The above have undergone a strong preparation, and are fit to run. RICIMOND.—On Wednesday El Cid had a steady gallop of two miles. Geant des Batailles, Hermosa, Brantingham, Brennus, Valtz, and Felucca cantered smartly. Moldavia, followed at a distance by Stella, wont the long gallop. Ca prera galloped a mile steadily, and the Vedette filly went two miles at half-speed. Polecat, Sorcerer, Gleaner, Ashbank, Rel Tub, Camerino colt, Sweet An ale, Sleeping Maggie, An nie, and Ladas did good work. Lord Ronald led Chelsea, Virtue, and Buttercup a steady gallop of a mile and three quarters. Circe, Retort, and Sawyer were walking ; the latter, however, previously took a gentle canter. Lord Bothwell, Evelina, Hector, Quality, Raunds, Plaudit, Dryad, Dutchman's Daughter filly, Mafir, and The Hind did some pod work. Mysotis and Dutch Admiral gal loped a mile steadily. Strathconan and Scotchman's Pride were piloted in a good two-mile gallop by Wee-Wee Flower. Thursday—Strathconan, Scotchman's Pride, and Wee-Wee Flower did the same amount of work as on the previous day. Mysotis galloped. Moldavia, Stella, Ca prera, Sorcerer, Rel Tub, Ashbank, and the Vedette filly were sent a nice gallop. Lord Ronald, Chelsea, Virtue, Buttercup, and Raunds had a rattling good gallop, all going well. Raunds then led Plaudit two miles at a' steady pace. FINDON. -It is gratifying to see a good animal in our stable once more in the little daughter of Nutbourno and Miss Vivian, and I think when the autumn brings out Tasman, Martinique, and some more, we shall show the public another or two. Next week a few of our horses will be sent to Lewes. In the Town Plate we have Helder and Miss Martha. Both have done plenty of work and aro fit. Chester Cup•—Romping Girl and Sister to Vedette are away, but the others engaged are going on well. No horse could look or go better than Owain Glyn dwr. It is Sir Richard Bulkeley's intention to run his horse at Newmarket on the Wednesday of the First Spring Meeting, and ho is a certain runner also for the prize on the Rhodee, and the public may rest assured that they will get au honest and straight run for their money. Thalia has again gitutocl IY9rkt but Pin hae waly been out mils, 1 and I sin sorry to say her temper is not so good as it used to be. Nelaton seems to be a good steady horse, and con tinues to improve daily ; some day o: other he will win a good race. I think that he is especially suited to a flat course. Of all the horses we have here, I see none that has improved more than Madrid, and although I can only consider him to be second class, yet there is no saying what situation a good sound horse might fight himself into. ILSLEY, Wednesday.—After two half-mile canters Dalby led Viridis another a little over a mile. Hatumerton, Sala manca, Canard, and Finesse went a mile and a half. Thursday.—Dalby and Viridis had their usual canters and a gallop of about a mile, going remarkably well. Although these two Chester Cup horses are not doing very strong work, they are in fine condition, and will be quite fit by the day. Orion, Ironmaster, and Landscape are doing well for their coming engagements. Vampire, Yardarm, Chivalry, and the colt by Wild Dayrell out of Phony are in the Lewes Spring Handley, and I like the last, named the best at the weights. He is very well, and goes in good form. Town Plate.— Dawdle, Tumbler, Goodfellow, Lady Clinton, Chivalry, Proctor, Canard, and Arkadi are all well, and whichever Mr. Bennett rum will ba bad to beat. Welter Cup.—Feodor is well, but has not lone much work of late. Goodfellow will win the Craven Handicap if 'wanted. STANTON, Wedneslay.—See-Saw only cantered. Ruric, Orne, and Attack colt went a two miles and a half gallop. The Returned, Jeanie Deans, Lady liighthorn, Souve nance, Fidelia, Batonnier, Balk colt, and the Morella filly went a mile and a half at full speed. Sister to Albrighten galloped the same distance. &Riot, Parma, Jove, Miss Agnes filly, Tarquin, Palmitin°, and Abyssinia galloped a mile. Thursday —Rorie, See-Saw, and Lady Ilighthorn galloped two miles, the last-named going well. Christmas Carol, Sportsman, Jezabel, and Grey Stocking were only walking. _ _ _ HEDNESFORD.-Our trainers having been at LichfiAl very little has been doing here since my last report. Our C'erby pony, Uncas, is doing wonderfully well, and is as sound as a roach. He will take his own part amongst all the big-'uns. Of the others trained here lam very partial to Kidderminster, who is a very compact horse, and is in splendid fettle. LAMBOURNE.—Since my last report Knight has been sending along Lady Rosehill, Child of the Islands, Patri cian, Curfew Bell, Kingsland, and some two year olds. In Bates's lot, Prince George, Grand Duke, Musa, and the youngsters have done well. Wetherell has been busy with Rhino Wine, Lady Diana, The Don, Spitfire, Singapore, and The Duke of Beaufort. Smith has been looking well to Mexico, who I see is engaged at Manchester on Satur day, but ,I don't think he will run there, but go to Lewes in preference, where he has two engagements. He is very well, and his form your readers saw at West Drayton• Patrician and Musa are also entered at Lewes, and 1 should say Patrician is the best in for the Craven Handicap. CHILTON.—Very little took place on Wednesday, the horses doing most work being Virginia Creeper, Second hand, Alberta, Triana, Woodman, Chateau, Margeaux, St. Agnes, M.A., The Scout, Country Bumpkin, Congratula tor, Pelisse, and the Muscovite colt. Lilac and Precocious have been stopped in their work, but for what reasons I cannot tell, as both wore doing as well as any horses could do. They are engaged at Lewes, where we have a lot more entered. Thursday—Country Bumpkin, St. Agnes, The Scout, and the Muscovite colt galloped about three quarters of a mile. Virginia Creeper went a mile and a half at a good pace. Secondhand joined in to lead her the last three quarters, and no horse could go better than the " Creeper." Her form at Bromley was all moonshine. Alberta led St. Agnes, and the Muscovite colt went about half a mile. M.A. led the following two half-mile gallops: —Hazlewood, Congratulator, Pelisse, and another. Actaaa is being led about in the paddock, but nothing is amiss with her that I can see.

WELFITT.— We regret to state that Mr. Welfitt, while witnessing the races at Tamworth on Monday last, was knocked down by one of the horsei in the races, whereby three of his ribs were fractured. HARPENDEN RACE COURSE.—Much-needed improve ments have been effected recently at the turn into the straight by taking in an additional sweep of ground, thus making the turn and the course generally quite unob jectionable. Look Out, after performing badly in the Selling Race at Kingsbury on Monday, changed hands for 13gs, and he was re named Blue Post prior to running in a similar event on the second day. Comet, who dislocated his neck at Kingsbury on Mon day, had been purchased for 10 gs only a low minutes prior to the raco by 11. Ellison, in whose colours the ill fated animal ran.

Tho colonial and foreign produce trades have a quieter tone, but without any general change in the tendency of prices, cotton being almost the only article exhibiting de pression. During the week the imports of several kinds of produce have sensibly increased: and as these will shortly furnish a better and more ample choice, dealers withhold their operations as far as it is practicable to secure the advantage of choice which will thus be afforded. For the ensuing week, however, the supplies declared for disposal aro only moderate, excepting of cocoa, the imports of which are being brought forward somewhat largely. The business of the week, although interrupted by the Easter holidays, sums up a fair aggre gate, and shows an advance of Gd to 9d in sugar ; firm rates for coloury coffee ; a slight decline for infe rior. Stationary rates for rico, spices, and saltpetre, hemp, jute, and all dye goods, except Dutch, which is 2s 6d per cwt. lower, and cochineal, which is a partial ld per pound dearer. The changes in oils aro a rise of 6d in linseed, 6d to is in rapeseed, and a decline of £2 to £3 in the quotation of sperm. MotaLs range from genera], and copper is £2 per ton higher. HAY AND STRAW. Supplies of hay stuffs at Smithfield and Whitechapel this morning wore:only moderate and trade good, with firm prices. Meadow hay, 60s to 86s ; clover, 55s to 100 s ; straw, 30s to 36s per load.

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday @Toning : This afternoon an application was made to • Mr. Vaughan, the sitting magistrate of the day, by Sir R. P. Collier, Q.C., M.P.; instructed by MeFsrs. Shaen and Roscoe, solicitors to the Jamaica Com mittee. Mr. Rose, of Salisbury-street, attended to watch the case for Governor Eyre. Sir R. P. Collier said he was instructed by Mr. John Stuart Mill and Mr. Peter A. Taylor to apply for a summons against Mr. Eyre, the late Governor of Jamaica. After referring to the recent ap plication before Sir Thomas Henry, Sir it: P. Collier explained that the charges proposed to be preferred against Mr. Eyre were—First, that of issuing an illegal and oppressive proclama tion ; and secondly, for having continued to act upon that proclamation beyond the time when, according to his own showing, there was no neces sity for it. The learned counsel went at some length into the statement of facts, and discussed the arguments and questions of law already re viewed in former applications on this question. At the close of the learned gentleman's argument, Mr. Vaughan said he thought, under the circum stances, he had better grant the summons, which it was arranged should be heard before Sir Thomas Henry, the chief magistrate, on Wednesday next. LuNDON GAZETTE-LAST EVENING. CROWN OFFICE, APRIL 15. MEMBERS RETURNED TO SERVE IN THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT.

Sales probably 10,000 bales. TATTERSALL AND TICHBORNE.—The " Great Tichborne Case," as it is called, has been introduced at Tattersall's and made the subject of speculation. We hear that the last odds were ten to one in favour of the claim ant's a .cceeding to the title and estates. No doubt the odds will continue on the ascendant, when it is considered that independently of the late Dowager Lady Tich borne having received and recognised the claimant as her son, there are from eighty to one hundred per sons, most of them of high standing in the country, who have signified by affidavit or oath that the claimant is the man he professes to be, viz., the eldest son of the late Sir James Doughty Tichborne. It is said, however, that the opposing party will produce negative evidence, on which they place so much reliance that they expect to upset the testimony of nearly ono hundred persons who have identified the claimant. We apprehend this negative evidence is something of the character of Pat, who, when he was accused of having committed a theft, and told that two persons could be produced who had seen him in the act, responded that he could bring twenty persons who had not seen him.—Land and Water. PROGRESS OF CANADIAN I ND USTRY. --A new de scription of handcuff has just been completed for the use of the police , and will shortly be served out to the men.

GREAT CATCHES OF MACKEREL.--On Wednesday the highest catch was 2,000, and there was good average fi s hi n g, pr i ce s ranging from 21s. to 235. Four th ousan d mackerel were brought by the Little Western, which had been left at Scilly for that purpose. Nearly 50 tons loft Pen zance by rail on Wednesday. Thursday the catch was very large, and as there was a good breeze most of the Mount's Bay boats were in early ; the east country boats, as ever, were late. Ono Mousehole boat had 7,000, and another Mount's Bay boat nearly 6,000. Each realised 235. per 100 in one lot, making about £BO for ono and £7O for the other. The fish are remarkably fine and largo, and the price keeps up well, the last that we heard of being 255. Nearly 70 tons of mackerel loft Penzance yesterday by two special and the ordinary trains, 15 tons leaving just before the 3 b p.m. mail train, and 11 or 15 tons were ale° sent ou frQua jjayll,--ifrotvtOlaninglVelcs.
