MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGZNCII, CITY, Two o'CLocK. the Bank of England Return shows some remark able variations, but they are mainly incidental to the period. The payment of the dividends has caused a large diminution in the public deposits, whilst the re payment of advances has largely reduced the private securities, These operations have extended the circu lation, and account chiefly for the decrease in the reserve. The return is indeed arxslogous with that of th e - r - • p evlous week, and does not indicate any appre ciable. cha nge i n the general condition of the Money Market.

On the afternoon of Good Friday an accident occurred on the Mersey, by which two young men lost their lives and two others were placed in jeopardy. About half-past eleven, two boats belonging to the Athletic Rowing Club left their station at Rock Ferry for a trip up the river towards Runcorn. The boats were two out-riggers —a class of craft ill-adapted for the navigation of such rivers as the Mersey, where the tide runs with great force—and they were manned. Cone by three young men, and the other, being a single-oared boat, pulled by one man. The boats were returning down the river when the lamentable occurrence took place. The tide about half-past four was ebbing very strong, and, in order to avoid the force of the current, the two skiffs kept pretty close to the Lancashire shore. When opposite Hale the boat which was rowed by one man was caught in a sudden squall, and the force of the wind and tide capsized her. The cccupant was thrown into the water, but managed to get hold of the boat, which he clung to, and shouted to his companions who were in the other boat to come to his assistance. They immediately rowed to the place where the man was struggling in the water, and pulled him on board their skiff. The additional weight thus caused was too much for so frail a boat, and the result was that the second skiff was overturned, and the four men left struggling in the water. Some of them clung to the tallwarks of the boat, and one got upon the keel. With the view of getting assistance from any passing boats or vessels in the neighbourhood, they shouted and waved their hands. They seem, however, to have remained in their perilous position for some time without attracting attention, and two of their number becoming exhausted let go their hold and were drowned just as help was at hand. About half - past four o'clock, a boat containing five young men was proceeding down the river, when their attention was attracted by the cries of the men who were still clinging to the boat and struggling for life in the water. They at once rowed to their aid, and with considerable difficulty got them on board their boat. The two rescued men were in a very exhausted state, and those who had saved them wrapped them in coats and rendered them every assistauce in their power. They rowed as rapidly as possible to Rock Ferry, where they landed the survivors of the unfortunate pleasure party, who were taken to the Rock Ferry Hotel. Medical as sistance was then obtained, and Dr. Hamilton, of Rock Ferry, was promptly in attendance. Mr. Vines, of the Rock Ferry Hotel, also rendered them every assistance in his power, and during the evening the young men were so far recovered as to be able to proceed home. The names of the two unfortunate young men who perished were Grundy and Hamilton, and they are said to have been residents of Liverpool.

OBTAINING GOODS B FALSE PRETENCES.— Alfred Crews, Ann Crews, his wife, and William Palmer were placed at the bar, charged with ob taining goosis by false pretences. On the first examination of the prisoners, last Saturday, it was elicited that Mr. Thomas Garrett, a gentleman, was removing from Gower-street to Tollington-park, Elornsey-road, and that a great deal of property was lef t during the time at the former place. The prosecutor told the person in charge that none of the goods were to be given to any person without he produced his (prosecutor's) written authority. The prisoner Crews was proved to have hired a truck, and a forged letter having been given to the female left at 70, Gower-street, they suc ceeded in obtaining two large carpets, and other things, with which they got away. Inspector Garforth apprehended the prisoner in Notting-hill, and when he told him the charge he said he knew nothing about the carpets. He (witness) had since found the missing piece of the prosecutor's carpet in a house at Barnsbury, but he was afraid that he should not be able to produce the persons by whom it was conveyed to the house, as the two persons concerned, he believed, in the matter were at present in a position that enabled them to refuse to give evidence. He had therefore to ask for another remand. Mr. Vaughan said he should most certainly grant the remand asked for. Inspector Garforth said there were other persons now in court who had been defrauded by Crews, and Police-sergeant Gordon was in attendance, who had held a warrant for Crews's apprehension on another case. Gordon said the warrant he had had for the pri soner's apprehension was dated April, 1866. He had ever since that time been in search of him, but had up to the present time been unable to find the prisoner. The other man who was concerned with the prisoner had been convicted and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. The felony was the rob bery of a large quantity of timber from Southall, valued at over R,144. He had also two other cases of obtaining goods by false pretences against Crews committed some time ago. He, with some other persons, having taken a house inAlma-square, set about defrauding the whole of the tradesmen in the St. John's-wood-road, Crews representing that he was a merchant carrying on business in the city. He obtained an enormous quantity of goods of all descriptions, and then decamped. Ingpector Garforth —There is another person pre sent, your worship, who has been defrauded by the prisoner Crews. _ _ A gentleman here stepped forward, and said he had been defrauded out of a large quantity of or namental tiles by false pretences by the prisoner. Inspector Garforth—Here is also another person, who, through being defrauded by the prisoner, had been compelled to become bankrupt. Prisoner—Oh, that's nothing. I've had to be come bankrupt. _ _ _ Mr. Vaughan—l don't require further cases against the prisoner Crews.l've heard quite enough. I shall remand them all for a week, by which time I hope we shall have some evidence in the case of the steal ing the timber, and the falsely obtaining the orna mental tiles. 103 i 1 The prisoners were then remanded. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT THROUGH INTEMPERANCE,-- Oliver Morgan, a respectable-looking young man, in the employ of Mr. Thomas Bateman, grocer, of No. 3, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, was charged before Mr. Benson with embezzling seve ral sums of money received on account of his em ployer. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was employed by the prosecutor to call on publicans and confectioners for orders for "foots" and tea, and that he received several sums of money from the customers, and failed to hand them over to the pro secutor. Francis Bellestone, E Division, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he did not deny the charge, but said that he was very sorry, and asked for mercy. The prisoner said that he had, in the course of his business, to call on several publicans, and he had given way to drink, and had got madly intoxi cated. Ile had been in the prosecutor's employ on a previous occasion. Mr. Bateman said that was the case, and that the prisoner was not at that time guilty of any act of dishonesty. Mr. Benson said he would remand the prisoner for a week, and if he thought proper he could have a solicitor in attendance on his behalf. Mr. Bateman said that he wished to recommend the prisoner to mercy. The prisoner belonged to a respectable family, and he (Mr. Bateman) had no doubt he had been led to do what he had done through giving way to drink. Mr. Benson said that the case was one of a class a magistrate had no power to deal with, and the recommendation must be made elsewhere. Vie prisoner would be remanded. - SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HonsE.--Henry Davis, carman, in the employ of a person named Cox, a coke dealer, was charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with the following cruelty to a horse. From the evidence of Temperley, inspector of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, it appeared that he saw the prisoner driving a horse attached to a van laden with coke. The horse was very lame, and on Temperley stop ping the horse he found it suffering from extensive disease of the hocks, in a state of great debility, nothing but skin and bone, and scarcely able to get one leg before the other. The prisoner admitted to the officer that his master knew of the condition of the horse, as he had told him that he should be stopped if he was seen out with it. The prisoner was discharged, and the owner sum moned for sending out the horse in such a condi tion, and as ho consented to have the horse de stroyed he was merely mulcted in costs, on the officer returning and stating that ho had seen the poor animal destroyed. WESTMINS TER. MR. THOMSON'S " KIDS."—THE LAW OF " MOV ING ON."—Mr. Charles Thomson, a very respect able-looking man, was charged with finding fault with a pair of " kids" so markedly as to induce a policeman to lock him up and the magistrate to let him go. _ _ _ Henry Coulston, 105 A It, said that at a little after seven o'clock on Thursday evening the defen dant was at 93, Brompton-road, making a disturb ance in the shop because he had bought a pair of gloves there that had split. When 'witness got there the defendant came outside and was exhibiting the gloves to the people assembled. Witness requested him to go away, but he said he would not ; he would annoy and expose them, for it was a robbery. Defendant, after some per suasion, went away, but returned in a fe w minutes and recommenced speaking about the gloves. He collected nearly a couple of hundred people round him, and when witness told him he must " move on," said he paid paving rates, which was more than the policeman did. Mr. Arnold inquired why he took the defendant into custody ? The Policeman replied—Because he refused to go away. Ile had been drinking, but perfectly well knew what he was about. Ile had not been charged with drunkenness, Mr. Arnold said that this case involved the same principle of law as one recently before him, in which, he regretted to say, his expressions had been misunderstood. lie would now repeat his opinion for the information of the police. If a person was creating an obstruction he must be told to " move on ;" if he refused he might be " put on," and if he resisted, he resisted the officer in the execution of his duty and could be punished ac cordingly. There was no authority to take into custody for the mere fact of making an obstruction, and defendant was discharged. in spite of the fine weather and the attractions offered by such places as the Crystal Palace, where Sims Reeves sang sacred music, the London churches were probably more crowded than on any previous Good Friday. At an increasingly large number of churches the old style of service of morning prayer, with 0 come, let us sing unto the Lord" (when there is nosiuging), Litany, Communion, and sermon crowded together into one, is being superseded by a service more suitable for the day ; and though there may be no authority for the " innovation," we understand that there is nothing illegal in it, provided morning and evening prayers are read during some portion of the day. At some of the " advanced " churches the service consisted of the 1111serere (51st Psalm), chanted alternatively by the priest and the people ; the Litany, intoned, but not chanted ; the " Reproachee," adapted from the Missal; and the first part of the Communion Service, it being the rule not to celebrate on that day, even in churches where there is a celebration every day of the year besides. After an interval of a quarter of an hour, this service was followed by a Meditation on the seven last words from the Cross. This consisted of the chanting of the seven utterances, with a hymn, short address, and private prayer between each. At three o'clock the bells were tolled, to mark the hour at which Our Lord expired. A large number of persons remained through the whole of both sery ices, or altogether nearly six hours. Everybody was dressed in black, and the altar veiled in crape. At St. Paul's there was, for the first time on a Good Friday, a special service under the dome, commencing at seven. Long before six the congregation began to assemble. TI • service was of the usual cathedral fashion, the hym: • being chosen for the day, and one of them being the com position of the Dean, Dr. Milman. The preacher was the Rev. Prebendary H. P. Liddon, who preached from the text—" And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me." Mr. Liddon has a very clear voice, which could be heard almost everywhere ; but it was evident that he was exerting himself to an extent especially painful in one who is known to be a great bodily sufferer, and who bears upon his worn and ascetic face the marks of pain. Pain was the chief subject of his discourse. The sermon was eloquent, but of inordinate length— eighty minutes--and many persons left before it was over, The service, including the final voluntary (the Dead Mani in " Saul " played with grand effect), lasted over 21 hours, and some of the congregation must have been present nearly four hours. The Bishop of Capetown and Lord Justice rage Wood were present. The John Bull men tions that considerable excitement was caused by a gen tleman being taken in an epileptic fit. A similar event occurred at Gower-street Station of the Metropolitan Railway just as a large number of the congregation were returning home. Archbishop Manning conducted the Three Hours' Meditation at St. Mary's, Moorfields. Foremost amongst the engagements of the ensuing week are those arising out of the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Ireland. It is naturally the great subject of conversation in the Irish capital. All the preparations are being pushed on rapidly, and the warm-hearted Irish population is exhibiting the highest degree of interest in anticipating the long series of national fetes which are to be so richly graced by Royalty. Seldom, if ever, will Dublin, with its magnificent bay, its pretty river, its large and beautiful park, its ambitious public buildings, its capacious and handsome cathedral, and its numerous streets and squares, have appeared tc greater advantage than on the present occasion. Its citizens are looking forward to the events of the week with the most pleasurable anticipations. They have so very few opportunities of public enjoyment that such an event as a Royal visit is sure to be appreciated. Al] the auguries for the coming festivities promise the most happy results, and both Orangemen and Ultramontanes look forward to the heartiest manifestations of pleasure from all classes and at all places where the Prince and the Princess shall appear during their brief sojourn in Ireland. Nearer home the British volunteer, and an immense crowd of holiday folk who never fail to make the most of Easter Monday, hope to enjoy the annual review. The obstacles which threatened its success have been overcome, and there is a hope that the spectacle may prove credit able alike to the volunteers and to the War Office. Four divisions of volunteer infantry, comprising fifteen brigades, each as nearly as possible 2,000 strong, will form the body of the Portsmouth army, and to this force will be added a few squadrons of cavalry and two brigades of artillery, with forty-six guns. These numbers are ex clusive of the regular troops to be contributed from the garrison and the camp at Aldershot, so that the entire army may, perhaps, be little short of 40,000 men. Great battles have been won with smaller numbers, and it happens, too, that the operations projected will derive unusual interest from the nature of the ground. Every species of force known in actual warfare will be called into service. It will be necessary to construct roads and extemporise bridges, and on this work not only the Mounted Pontoon Train from Aldershot and the Volun teer Engineers, but even the contractor for the Hilsea earthworks, will be employed. In short, the difficulties of the scheme, instead of discouraging the projectors, are now evoking that very spirit of universal co-operatior which would be needed in real emergencies. The latest accounts from Abyssinia puzzle one more than ever, as to what course King Theodore will take whorl our army a pproaches his headquarters. Will he, carrying cut the character which he now assumes before the captives, greet Sir Robert Napier as a friend, and ask to see the army manceuvre, and give up the captives without opposition? Or, on the other hand, will he stand out to the last? Mr. dad's recently received letter, together with other circumstances, had almost led us to believe that we should get over the matter without fighting. But the Times correspondent is by no means so sanguine. Writing on March 14th, he says that "from the latest accounts it would seem that Theodore is bent on offering resistance, or at least is putting himself into a position for offering resistance, should he fail to secure peace on his own terms. He has changed the plan of defence he had formed in expectation that the British force were coming by Sokota, and has taken up other ground." However, he gives to the captives no clue to the policy he intends to adopt, though lie discusses our advance freely. The Duke of Cambridge, as Field-Marshal Com manding in Chief, will leave Gloucester House either on Monday evening or Tuesday morning for Dublin, where Iris lduring the visit of the Prince and n the event of his Royal High ness e will accompany the Prince and l Princess going al g o Highness n of Tuesday se Wales.ciay will hI stay Princess in the Royal train. The Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by Sir W. Knollys, the Hon. Mrs. W. Grey, Major Grey, and Dr. Holzman, attended Divine service on the morning of Good Friday at the pretty little church in the park of Sandringham, where service had been held every day during the week.

(From the Sporting Gazette.) The first meeting at head-quarters for 1868 takes place in the ensuing week, with a fairly filled list, the prominent features of which are, as usual, the Free Handicap Sweepstakes, with 200 soya added, the Newmarket Handicap, the Three Year Old Biennial, the Beacon Stakes, the Four Year Old Biennial, the Claret, the Port, and the Bennington Stakes, in which are engaged several horses, the performances of whom will afford a pretty reliable guide to the future, in respect not only of the Two Thousand and the Derby, but of many other most important events in embryo. Thelist for Mon day contains six races and two matches; but, as at the time of my writing, owing to the required num ber not having accepted for the Free llandicap,nnlY one race—viz., the Sweepstakes of 50 sous, for three year olds—remains for discussion, my task for the " opening day " is comparatively light. In the Sweepstakes named, which is run on the Rowley Mile, seven horses are engaged, including Brother to Knight of the Crescent, Restitution, Naivete, and Coup d'Eclat, besides Citron, Papil lon, and Cork Jacket, all of whom take a 41b allow ance, and consequently meet on equal terms. Only the first named has run this year, and he showed fair form on each occasion of his three performances. Restitution is a remarkably good-looking horse, by King Tom out of Lady Louisa by Touchstone, her dam by Lanercost out of Caroline by Whisker. This colt is consequently out of the dam of Orest, who, being a fair horse himself, Restitution ought to race. Coup d'Eclat was tried to be a good filly with Bounceaway last year, but failed to run so well as Prince Soltykoff anticipated, as she only won two of the ten races in which she started. The several performances of Citron, Papillon, and Cork Jacket have been equally indifferent, conse quently I consider the race a " moral" for either RESTITUTION or Brother to Knight of the Crescent, the former of whom ought to achieve an easy vic tory if worthy of the support he has lately received for the Two Thousand and Derby. In the Match between Retty and PUFF, I prefer the chance of the latter. On Tuesday two of the most important events of the meeting will be brought to issue—viz., the Three Year Old Biennial and the Newmarket Handicap, which, together with the Beacon Stakes, the Sale Stakes, a Sweepstakes for three year olds, a Two Year Old Plate, a Selling Sweepstakes, and the Match between Bounceaway and Bel Giorno, will make up the best day's racing of the five. There are seventy-two nominations to the Biennial, but the field will, nevertheless, not exceed a dozen. It is not improbable that Danebury will have two representatives—viz., The Earl and Herald, but if it be true that the former was easily beaten by Silenus in their trial, which the state of the market on the Two Thousand and Derby hardly leaves any room to doubt, neither has any chance of bein g enrolled the winner of this rich prize. The Earl unquestionably distinguished himself on or three occasions last year, but lltrald, as we saw at the Duke of Beaufort's sale, has improved considerably, but his easy defeat by Idalia and Hatchment in the Ham Stakes, at Goodwood, showed him to hardly possess second class form, which will not do in such company as Blue Gown, Suffolk, and others, likely to be opposed to him here. Baron Rothschild has also two to chose from in Suffolk and King Alfred ; but I presume the first named will be the trusted one this journey, as through him the Baron will be en abled to judge of what chance Restitution pos sesses for the Two Thousand. My conviction is that Suffolk will be compelled to succumb to BLUE GOWN, whose easy success I anticipate. Though there are forty-four acceptances for the Newmarket Handicap, the field will hardly reach a dozen. The Miss Sarah colt is one of the best look ing horses at Newmarket, and has shown good form on two or three occasions, having wou the Queen's Plate, at Doncaster, beating Goodwood and Lec turer ; whilst at the Newmarket Houghton Meeting he finished only a neck behind The Palmer and Julio, is their celebrAted dead heat for the Free, In the 100 Sovs Sweepstakes (D.M.) there are eight three year olds engaged, including COURT MANTLE, The Parson, and Sir David Gam, for the first named of whom it is a " certainty," if he will only do his best. The eleven horses entered in the Sale Stakes are so moderate that 1 can select nothing better than OSPREY or PYRENEES to supply the winner. In the 100 Sovereign Sweepstakes for fillies, five of the six are engaged, and it looks a " good thing" for either MIRACLE or NYANZA, for the latter of whom I have most fancy. In the Beacon Stakes (last half mile of the 8.C.) thirteen youngsters are engaged, including Flower Girl, Little Lord, Sister to Veda, Badsworth, and Workman, all of whom we have seen run, but FLOWER GIRL is so much the best that I must take her to furnish the winner; Badsworth, who was not quite fit at Epsom, being her most troublesome opponent. Wednesday is a very unimportant day from pre sent appearances, the old Column being reduced to a match between Maesllwch and the noisy Sun beam colt or Picnic, so that Mr. Hodgman has a really good chance of getting back the greater por tion of the money he gave for the filly at Ascot. There are two other three year old Sweepstakes on the off day, resting between St. Angela and Pyrenees, and Pear Heather and Thorsgill ; and we shall take the first named fur choice in each instance. Thursday's list boasts nine completed races, but the majority are of the most insignificant character, the cattle in a couple of 100 sovs Sweepstakes and the Aske Produce Stakes being so bad that it would be ridiculous to snake selections from them. The Claret will provoke a race, because Fripon nier was amiss not long ago, and the second saves his stake. It is singular that the lot engaged to run this " D. 1." are reputed to be non-stayers, with the exception of the young Melbourne colt, and he has ever been troubled with the slows. Sir Oliver and Pirate Chief can scarcely get half the course, and probably only Wroughton and Dragon will go in for the second money, or the off chance of bowl ing over Friponnier, who should, however, outstay all comers, and credit Ir. Pryor with the stake. The Ninth Biennial, on the same course, bas a better entry. Vauban and The Hermit being in the same interest, will not both be wanted now, and the latter's match with Julius may keep him at home ; but " with a run" we shall stand by Julius to beat Vauban. Both the latter being in Friday's Port Stakes, perhaps their owners will arrange so as they shall not meet, as one will look very like a certainty in the absence of the other. Notwithstanding the resume of the meeting at " head -quarters," racing will be carried on during the week at Durham, Lichfield, Knighton, Kingsbury and Hendon, Aberystwith, Isle of Wight, and Beverley. Durham takes place on Monday and Tuesday, when a well filled list gives pro mise of some most interesting racing, as most of the northern stables will send representatives to the meeting. There are sixteen acceptances for the Durham Handicap, for which I consider LIBERAL, 4 yrs, 7st 41b, and Miss Osborne, 3 yrs, 7st, to have the best chance ; and of the twenty-four horses weighted for the Corporation Plate I consider WARWICK, 5 yrs, 7st 51b, and Zingari, 3 yrs, sst 91b, to be best in. In the Elemore Stakes nineteen youngsters are engaged nearly all of whom are dark. Clarionette, from the form she showed in the Ravensworth Stakes, at Newcastle, is bound to run well, and I must couple her With NUMBER NIP and Retort to furnish the winner. The former was not quite fit when he ran at Lincoln, and I hear a very flattering account of Retort, who is by Kettledrum or Little Hastings out of Repartee. The great impetus given to breeding good half bred horses by the establishment of races exclusively confined to hunters is proved by the large entries for the Durham Hunt Cup, for which the entry reaches the large number of thirty-five. Among so many untried horses it is not easy to hit the right nail on the head, but I am told CASTANETTE is as likely to win as anything. On the second day LIBERAL and Miss OSBORNE are again " well in" in the North Durham Handi cap ; and as RETORT is also engaged in the Lambton Stakes, it is not unlikely that both the two year old races will fall to Mr. Eastwood, and thus recoup him for his disappointment with Lord Hastings at Northampton. The United liunt2rs Stakes looks like falling to DENMARK or Scarrington ; the Wynyard Plate to DONALDBAIN ; and the Raby Stakes to SKYLARK. Lichfield takes place on Tuesday and 'Wednesday with a list filled sufficiently well to afford two good days' sport. The Anglesey Plate, for which sixteen horses have been weighted, is likely to fall to BEDFORD, 4 yrs, 7st 131 b, or St. Valentine, 3 yrs, 7st 21b. In the Two Year Old Plate ten youngsters are engaged, of whom VERMICELLI, MASQUER, or MISS WHIFFLER have the best chances, and the former is entitled to the preference. For the second day there is an excellent entry of thirty-four horses for the Grand Handicap Steeple chase, but as the acceptances are not to be declared until this day (Saturday) I must defer any com ments on the race until Wednesday. There are large entries for all the races to be brought to issue at .Kingsbury, on Monday and Tuesday. The Middlesex Steeplechase, on the first day, will probably fall to RISK, 6 yrs, list ; the T r ig klAndicaptitudie Race to HIT TiQ 11 ir I 4 pi, Handicap (across the flat), receiving Sib from The Palmer, and 91b from the Cesarewitch winner. Good as these performances are, I, however, ques tion his ability to get quite home under such a heavy impost as Bst 121 b, as the finish of this race is all against collar. Longchamps is another horse that has shown fair form, as he beat Hermit, Man drake, Taraban, and Jasper for the Newmarket Derby ; but that performance, nevertheless, cannot be regarded as a very brilliant one, seeing that he re ceived a stone from Hermit, and 71b from each of the others. It must, however, be borne in mind that this race was run on the last mile and a half of the Beacon Course, which shows that he can get up bill well, and on that account must be formidable, par ticularly if he carries Count Lagrange's colours in preference to Montagnard, which is very likely to be thecase, as the latter is held safe by the MAnceuvre 'illy, whom he has to meet on 3lb worse terms than at Epsom. The Peer is nicely weighted, and if he has returned to the form he showed 1 tst spring, I should not look beyond him for the winner. Porter's Knot and Bagpipe represent the same iatere.t, and I prefer the former, fur although he never got his head first in any of the eleven races be ran last year, he was second on four occasions—viz., to P,ricles, in a Subscription Plate, at Newmarket ; to Monitor in the Stand Plate, at Reading ; to Viridis, in the Oatlands Plate, at Newmar ket; and to Sweet Anne, in a Sweepstakes across the flat, also at Newmarket. Being a large horse, there was so much room for improvement in him that it is far from improbable his emulating the performance of Leases last year, who was also trained by Peter Price. In reference to the colt by Romulus out of Attack, the race would be a gift to him if he would only " try" in public as well as in private; but as he wont do so, there is no hope for him. The De Clare,gelding and Guy of Warwick will find the company too good. Beauclerck is fancied at Newmarket, but like the Attack colt he has never run up to the form he has shown at home. His best race was running third to Pintail and Tourmalin for a Free Handicap on the last two miles of the Cesarewitch Course, receiving from the winner 241 b, and from Tourmalin 371 b, which is not very bright form; but as he has no such stayers to meet on this occasion, his chance of winning must be a great one, with such a lenient weight as Gst 101 b. The filly by Malcolm out of Manoaavre showed at Epsom that she can stay, and if her owner, who, lain told, has not backed her, only makes up his mind to send her to the post, she holds Mr. Savile's pair so safe that 1 need not further refer to them. It will be thus seen that I consider Long champs, The Peer, Porter's Knot, Beauclerk, and the Manoeuvre filly all to have an excellent chance ; but that THE MANCEUVRE FILLY AND BEAUCLERK are entitled to the preference, owing to the lenient weight they have to carry. llst 91b, or STIFF, aged, llst 51b ; and the Grand Annual Hurdle Race to FOXHOLES, 6 yrs, list 121 b, or 0 WEN ROE, 5 yrs, 10st 101 b. On the second day the Grand Kingsbury and Metropolitan Spring Steeplechase ought to fall to SPRITE, aged, list 51b; SINITE, aged, lOst 121 b ; or L. S. D., aged, 10st 101 b. The Knighton programme gives promise of two good days' racing on Tuesday and Wednesday ; and there is a fairly filled list for the Isle of Wight Steeplechases, which take place on Tuesday. Lord Stamford's horses in training, including Vale Royal have arrived at Newmarket for the summer season ; and Lord St. Vincent's and Mr. W. Bevill's team have removed to " head-quartors" from Royston. HowDEx STEEPLECHASES.—Owners of steeplechasers aro reminded that the Howden Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, closes on Thursday next; and the Hunters' Stakes of 3 sovs with 23 added on the 21st. TAM WORTH STEErEcuasEs.—For these chases on Mon day next an excellent rtretch of meadow land has been ob tained contiguous to the beruugh, and admirab:y adapted for the sport. Arthur Reeves, son of the well-known trainer, has left Rigland to join his brother John, who is managing Count Liehtensteiu's stud at Eisgrub, Moravia. Mr. T. V. Morgan's Tottic, a successful hurdle racer at Cheltenham and steeplechaser at Birmingham and Harrow, died recently. Mr. J. L: oughton, disgusted with Mont Blanc's running at Bromley, has disposed of him to W. Goodwin for 30 sovs. Carolina and another two yr old by Ventre St. Gris have gone into T. Ashmall's stable at Newmarket. Knight of Downe, 4 yrs, and Heather Bell, 3 yrs, have changed hands, and are now trained by W. Reeves, Pitt place, Epsom. The 14th Hussars Regimental Steeplechases will be held at Boghall, about five miles south of Edinburgh, on April 21. THE KNIGHTON MEETING.—The withdrawal of Aborga venny from the fixtures this year leavos Knighton on Tuesday and Wednesday next in possession of the week in Wales, where an excellently varied programme has been provided, consisting of five events per diem. GRANTHAM STEEPLECHASES.— Entries for all the chases at this meeting, on Tuesday next, must be made by eight o'clock on the previous evening to Mr. Thomas Wakefield, the lion. sec. at the Red Lion, Grantham.
