CITY, Two o'CLocK. • — Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with an upward ten dency, at an advance in prices for most descriptions. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 2,000 of Which were taken for export, and on speculation. The Railway Share Market manifested a dull ap-, pearance, and prices were a shade lower for all the leading stocks. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed the 26th June as the settling day for the shares of the Levant Mineral Company, and deal ines in them are to be recorded in the official lists. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Market have opened this week with a quiet but steady appear ance. Privately the operations already effected have been limited, but large public sales of some of the principal staples are advertised. The supply of Sugar will be rather extensive, and prices appear heavy. Coffee is firm, at full rates, and Tea is dull, but steady. In other articles there is no particular variation. Messrs. Smith and Charles's " Tallow Circular," dated last evening, states as follows : " The tallow market again advanced in the course of last week, chiefly for early delivery, in consequence of the state of the June amount. For other periods we had no movement until Saturday, when, towards the close, ther e was more disposition to buy both July to Sept., Oct., and Dec. By advices by telegraph from Retz 180 Rs. is paid for August delivery. Our market has to day improved all round. and we leave off- r -Spot and all June, 82a. ' • Jnly and Sept., 58s. 3 d. to 58s . 6d . ; sepa rately, 58s. 6d." The probability of an immediate reduction in the rate of discount by the Bank of France is still discussed at Paris, and many well informed per sons predict that the alteration will be made next Thursday. The position of the establishment it is presumed, would fully justify a modification of the existing onerous terms, but there are some who consider that a further slight delay should take place in order that the precise tendency of financial affairs may be more accurately determined. Unless there is some unfavourable movement with which the general public are unacquainted, the Bank will certainly take the earlier opportunity afforded by its actual situation to relieve the com merce of the country from at least a por tion of those burdens which for months past exercised such a depressive influence upon all branches of trade. A reduction of 1 per Cent. would be attended by very beneficial results ; and when the issue of 50 franc notes takes place, a general improvement will no doubt ensue, espe cially if any undue extension of speculative enter prise is resisted. A disposition evidently exists to promote fresh joint stock adventure, but if the evil is carried too fait measures will no doubt be taken, as on former occasions, to restrain this species of speculation. The annual meeting of the South Australian Banking Company was held to-day, at which a favourable report was read, `showing the net profits of the year to have been 41,082/. ls. Bd., from which the directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum. The report was satis factory as to the general state of the colony, and the mining interest was looking more prosperous. A branch had been opened at Port Adelaide. The report was agreed to, and a resolution was passed for tile purpose of raising the capital from 300,0001. to 400,0001., the authority of the Treasury having been obtained for that purpose. _ There is a moderate demand for money in Lom bard-street, but with a freedom from pressure, the wants of the commercial public being readily sup plied. Six per cent is in all cases demanded, and hence the applications at the Bank are well main- tained. The English Stock Market to-day has been tolerably steady, but there has been a continued absence of animation, and nothing of importance has transpired. The speculators for a rise having large accounts open are anxiously waiting further advices from India and China, since the course of the market, it is thought, will in a great measure be dependent upon the quotations of exchange 'at Hong Kong and Shanghai. Money is tolerably easy in the "House," and no difficulty is found in obtaining loans on Government Securities at the official rate. Consols have been very inactive at 931 I. The New 3 per Cents. are 921 93k. The Reduced 921 to 93, and the 30 years Annuities it 18 1-16. Exchequer Bills are 33. discount to par. Bank Stock it 2121 to 214. Business iu the Foreign Market is exceedingly quiet, but most of the securities remain at steady 16'6 prices. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 96k, and the 4 per Cent. guaranteed 102. Sardinian Bonds 100 are 89k. Equador 14, and Dutch 23- per Cents. io 65g. 20 The following are the nominal prices of Foreign V i Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6k ; Mexican, 20 22i 3; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 77 78; ditto 3 per 20 Cents., 54 55; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 46 47 ; 100 Russian 5 per Cants., 109 111 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 100 98 100 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. , 41 i 2 i; ditto New 2° Deferred, 25f 26 ; ditto Certificates, ; ditto St. 100 Passive, 5} t. 20 The dealings in the Railway Share Market have 20 been of a very limited character, and with one or two 20i exceptions, prices have showed but very little vari- 100 ation. Brighton improved 55., and North-Western, 100 Norfolk, and North-Eastern (Berwick) 108. Great no Western, and South-Eastern have declined about 55., and Caledonian 10s.

PRICE'S PA- 1 TENT CANDLE MANUEACTORY.—Yesterday evening an inquest was held on the body of James Rulph, aged 16. the deceased was employed at Messrs, Price's patent candle manufactory at Vauxhall ; it was his duty to come in the evening and continue on the premises during the night, cutting candles in the cooling-room. About three o'clock on Saturday morning violent screams were heard in the cooling-room, to which se veral of the workmen proceeded, when the y dis covered the unfortunate youth env elo ped in flames, which were after great difficulty extinguished, b ut not befoxe the deceased was frightfully burnt, After great suffering he died on Sunday evening. Before his death he said to the nurse that he was asleep near the gas stove, when his apron caught fire, owing to the bottom of the stove being out of repair. The jury re turned a verdict of "Accidental death," and considered there was blame attached to the firm in not having had a proper stove in the cooling-room. MARALTS—(This Day.) RAILWAYS.

POTTER, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Joyce, and Mr. Doyle were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. 'James, Mr. Lush, and Mr. Sleigh were counsel for the defendant. This was an action arising out of the proceedings in stituted before Mr. Alderman Carden, at Guildhall, with reference to the conduct of the plaintiff and the management of the Samaritan Institution, in West. street, Smithfield, of which he was secretary. The declaration contained seven counts. The first charged that, the plaintiff being the secretary of the Samaritan Institution, the defendant had stated before Mr. Alderman Carden on the 6th of December, 1856, that, understanding the institution was about to apply to the Lord Mayor for assistance, he thought it his duty to state publicly that he frequently passed the institu tion, which was established to supply food and shelter to the houseless poor, and that on no occasion had he ever during the last eight months seen the building used •c -cept as a residence for Mr. Barber, the secretary, and the reception of his horses and phaeton. The second count charged that the defendant, on the Bth, made another statement before the alderman, to the effect that some books had been sent to the institution, and that he did not know what had become of them. The third count charged that the defendant had ac cused the plaintiff of obtaining goods by false pre tences. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh counts stated in substance that after the writ in the action had been issued the defendant maliciously, and without reasonable and probable cause, and in order to oppress the plaintiff and induce him to for bear from the prosecution of his action, caused four summonses to be issued by Alderman Carde❑ charging him (the plaintiff) with having by false and fraudulent pretences obtained certain four, beer, and biscuits, for the purpose of distribution to the poor, and had misap plied the same. These last named counts then set forth that the plaintiff was put to great expense and loss of time and health in defending himself from these charges, which were adjourned from time to time till they were finally dismissed. The defendant pleaded not guilty generally, and as to the first and second counts that the words complained of were true in substance and in fact. He also denied that the plaintiff was the secretary of the institution. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER• (Sittings in Error, before Chief Justice Cockburn, Barons Channel, Bramwell, Watson, and Willes, and Justice Willia ins.) THE CASE OF THE CONVICT MANSELL. According to the direction cf the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and the other judges, this case came on for hearing this morning. Mr. Russell commenced his address which was of considerable length, daring which he repeated the arguments used in the Court of Queen's Bench, and contended that the jury not having been pro perly constituted, their verdict must bo quashed. The ]earned gentleman's speech was expected to occupy the Courtjthe whole of the day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE C. EIGOIN8; This bankrupt was described as of Salisbury, brewer, and to-day came up for his certificate. Mr. Taylor opposed, and Mr. Lawrance supported. His Honour suspended the certificate for six months, on the ground that the expenses bad greatly exceeded the profits. Protection was granted. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN ItIO OITTENS. This bankrupt was described as of Duke-street, Man chester-square, ironmonger, and to-day came up to pass his last examination. He passed without opposition. IN AB W. 0. 0-iIdEIION. This bankrupt was described as of Camomile-street, (sport pickle merchant, and to-day was appointed for his last examination. The bankruptcy arose in conse quence of the bankrupt not having received remittances for his consignments. Mr. Wilde, for the assignees, asked for an adjourn ment•, to investigate the accounts. Mr. Beard, for the bankrupt, consented, and the ad journment took place. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. SOUTHWARK. A BRUTAL PARENT.—John Parks, a master smith, residing in Little Suffolk-street, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with committing a violent assault upon his daughter, Emma Parks, a young girl about 16 years of age. The complainant, an inoffensive-looking girl, stated that she lived at home with hor father and mother, and for some time past both her mother and herself had been cruelly ill-treated by him. On Sunday night he turned them out of the house, and ref Used to admit them until eight o'clock on Monday morning. He then went out, and returned home about one o'clock, very inebriated, when he took up a jug to fetch some beer. Witness was standing near the doorway, and in passing he struck her ever the back of the head with the jug. She fell do Nn, and while on the ground he kicked her, and she believed he would have injured her severely bad not her mother brought a policeman and given him into custody, Mr. Combs asked her whether he bad ever ill•used her beforet Witness replied that he turned her and her mother out of doors on Saturday night, and left them out during the rain. He frequently knocked her and her mother about. Mr. Combo inquired what was the cause of his using her I Witness said it was because she took her 'mother's part. She, however, did not wish to see her father punished. In answer to the charge, the prisoner in the mort impudent manner said that his wife and daughter were always aggravating him, and he might now and then give them a little bit of a push. Mr. Combe—What do you say about turning your wife and daughter out of the house, and assaulting the latter with the jug ? The prisoner said that they went out, and he kept them out. Mr. Combo toild him he was a cowardly, brutal fellow, and he should not be doing his duty unless he punished him with the utmost severity of the law. He should sentence him to six months' hard labour in Wandsworth House of Correction. The prisoner, who seemed somewhat surprised at the sentence, was then removed by the gaoler. THAMES. CHAIM OT MANSLAUGHTEu.—james Brown, a lad, aged 18 years, and residing at the time of his apprehen sion in Fisher-street, Barking, Essex, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with causing the death of a man named Richard Vincent, who was formerly a fisherman, employed in Barking fishing smacks. Inspector Todman of the Thames police said, that having received information that a man was in the Dreadnought hospital ship, off Greenwich, suffering from ill-treatment he had met with from the prisoner, and that the man was not likely to recover, he took the prisoner into custody, and told him that he was charged with severely injuring Vincent. The prisoner then said he kicked Vincent once, but he was not at all aware that he had kicked him in a vital part of his person. He took the prisoner on board the hospital ship to receive the depositions of Vincent in the prisoners' hearing and presence. It was too late, the man was rapidly sinking, and could barely identify the prisoner as the person who iniicted the injuries upon him. The prisoner then volun tarily made a statement which was committed to writing by Mr. Evaus, Superintendent of Thames Police, and was to the following effect :—" I live in Fisher-street, Bark ing. At a quarter past 11 on Sunday night week I was at my street door, and Richard Vincent came up and said he would come in. He appeared to have been [drink ing. I asked my father if he should come in doors. He said no, and told Mr. Vincent to go away several times, but he would not. I gave him a clout on the head with my open hand, and he fell down. He was lying on the ground. I think on his belly. I kicked him, but I thought it was the back part of his thigh. The two Watts who live close by came out, Vincent was still lying on the ground. I asked Saxton Watts if there was room for me in doors, mean ing Watts' house. He replied yes. I and William Porter carried him in and laid him on a mat where I left him. He never spoke after I struck him on the head with my hand. I bad no intention of doing him any serious injury, and was not aware of having done so until I was told so by Mat Freebody on the following Thursday. I make this statement of my own will having been cautioned that it will be used in evidence against me." Todman said the deoeased expired soon after the pri soner made the above statement. Mr. Selfe at first considered it would be best to re mand the prisoner until the inquest on the body of Vin cent was held, and asked the prisoner if he would find bail. The prisoner replied that ho was unable to do so, and said his parents and friends were at Barking. Mr. Selfe then directed the officer to convey the prisoner to Barking, and take him before a county magistrate there where the witnesses of the transaction resided, and who would be easily forthcoming. ANCIENT ORDER OF FORESTERS.—On Monday evening Court Reliance 2,681 gave a concert at the Royal Institu tion, Cowper-st. School-rooms, to raise funds to erable them to send a delegate to the great Congress about to be held for the purpose of altering the Forresters' laws.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his treat on the woolsack 4t 5 o'clock. ST. JAMES'S PARE. The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that on Monday next he would cad attention to the correspond ence between the Board of Works and the Treasury, in reference to the works now going on in St. James's Park. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from gentle. men engaged in commerce in the colonies, praying that in all criminal cases occurring an appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench might be allowed. The noble and learned lord said he did not concur in the prayer of the petition. VEXATIOUS SUITS BILL. Lord BROUGIIAM. laid on the table a bill for the purpose of preventing vexatious suits. The bill was read a, first time. THE DIVORCE BILL, The Bishop of OXFORD presented several petitions against the Matrimonial Divorce Bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were severally read a second time :—The Atlantic Telegraph . Company ; Australian Agricultural; Forth and Clyde Junction Railway ; and Waterford and Tramore Railway. THIRD READINGS. The Peebles Railway, and the Willinhall Gas Bill, were read a third time and passed. EX.PLORA TION OF CENTRAL - AUSTRALIA. The Duke of NEWCASTLE begged to put a ques tion to the President of the Council, as the Colonial Department was not represented in the house. When he (the Duke of Newcastle) held the office of Colonial Secretary, an expedition was organised and placed under the direction of Mr. Gregory for the exploration of Central Australia. He bad been given to under stand that the expedition had been eminently succestful. The question he wished to ask was whether any report Had been received from Mr. Gregory as to the results of the expedition ; and, whether, if any such had been received, there would be any objection to lay it on the table of the house ? Earl GRANVILLE said it was quite true that great MIMES had attended the efforts of the expedition. From a report which had been received front the Governor, it appeared that a vast tract of fertile land had been discovered, and that under the skill and care of Mr. Gregory the whole of the parties who formed the expedi tion had returned safely. The nobleduke might rest assured that the information the Government received with re spect to the exploration-should be communicated to their lordships. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved the se cond reading of this bill. The bill was accordingly read a second time. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL. CAUSES BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the third read ing of this bill. Lord LYNDHURST suggested that the bill should be read a third time pro forma, for the purpose of allow ing a noble lord an opportunity of moving au amend ment. The bill was then read a third time pro forma. Lord REDESDALE then rose and moved the omis sion of certain words from one of the clauses of the bill, for the purpose of raising the whole question with respect to the propriety of granting divorces i vincalo matrimonii. Many persons who differed from him with respect to the indissolubility of the marriage vow were opposed to the bill, and were extremely anxious that, before the subject was finally settled by the passing of this measure, the subject should be further discussed. Lord CAMPBELL objected to the amendment of the noble lord, The bill as it at present stood would intro duce a great improvement i❑ the law. The Earl of MALMESBURY supported the amend ment. He regretted that last year he assented to the third reading of the bill, but that circumstance was entirely owing to his not having given the bill sufficient consideratioa. Every word he heard only eonvinccd him that the subject was surrounded with great difficulty and if the present bill was passed the great confusion 1 and mischief would arise. [LETT SITTING,] HOME OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SiTAicER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Birkenhead, Lancashire, arid Cheshire Junction Railway ; Caledonian Railway (Lines to Granton) ; Cork and Youghal Railway ; Dartmouth and Torbay Railway ; Ely Tidal Harbour and Railway ; Hamilton and Strathaven Railway ; Ipswich Water; Newry, Warrenpoint, and Rostrevor Railway ; North Eastern Rail way (Lanchester Valley Branch) ; SJuth Staffordshire Water Bills were read a third time and passed. The Great Yarmouth Water ; Newtown and Ma chynileth Railway ; Prestwich, Bury, and Radcliffe Roads ; Westminster Terminus Railway Extension (Clapham to Norwood Abandonment) Bills were further considered and ordered to be read a third time. FINSBURY . PARK (No. 2) BILL. On the motion for ttie second reading of the bill, Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved its third reading this day air months. He objected to it on the ground of parti ality, and considered it a great hardship that his consti tuents should be called upon to pay for the recreation of the people at the other end of the metropolis. In the first bill there was a provi sion for the sum of 50,0001. being paid out of the tax, and he asked if Government intended to withhold that sum? Sir J. SHELLEY seconded the amendment. Mr. COX opposed the amendment, and maid the esta blishment of a park was necessary for the people of Finsbury, the population of that district having in creased within his recollection from 120,000 to 350,000. The hon. gentleman detailed the efforts that bad been made to establish a park in Finsbury, and proceeded to show how ridiculously small the rate would be on the inhabitants of the metropolis, namely one farthing per annum for 20 years. This was but one of three parks proposed by the Board of Works, viz., one for Bermondsey, and the throwing open of Hampstead-heath. If the con stituents of the hon. member for Lambeth had not obtained Battersea-park, and the Kennington enclosure, the house would never have heard of the hon. member's opposition. He hoped the house, bye-and-by, would pass a grant of 50,0001. for the formation of this park. Mr. CLAY supported the second reading of the bill. He should like to see the metropolis belted with parks. Sir J. SHELLEY opposed the measure on the ground of a general rate, considering it a selfish thing on the part of those livicg near public parks to oppose their for mation in crowded districts, on account of its situation, because 200 out of the 250 acres required for it would be out of the metropolitan district, and taking the crotvded part of Finsbury as a centre, he found that the Regent's park, Victoria-park, and St. James's park were become more easy of access to the people of Finsbury than would be the proposed Finsbury-park. (Cries of " Divide.") Lord R. GROSVENOR said that, as he had taken some trouble in the formation of parks around the me tropolis, he should support the second reading of the bill, and, if necessary, go to a division. He expressed his surprise at metropolitan members opposing this bill. It was an impudent attempt of the constitu encies of Westminster and the other metropolitan dis tricts to attempt to get rid of the formation of this park, when they were ab le to enjoy parks kept up by the co untry. The site selected for Finsbury-park was driven on them from the want of an open space nearer, hnd the longer they delayed its formation, the further they would have to go from the metropolitan districts. Hampstead Heath, Finsbury, and Bermondsey Park might be secured at a rate of three farthings in the pound on the metropolis. Mr. SPOONER asked if 50,0001. was to be given by the Government for the formation of the park. Mr. DUNCOMBE said it was an understanding on the part of the Government that they would give 50,0001. to wards 300,000/.,the estimated met of the park. The forma tion of this park'had received the approbation of this and former Governments. The hon. member had no right to complain, because Lambeth had Battersea•park in which to disport themselves with Battersea bays—(a laugh)—and there was an item in the estimates of this year of 8,0001. for that park, and besides that they had Kennington-common paid for ont of the Consolidated Fund. (Hear, hear.) He could understand an opposition to a bill for the erection of a new Guildhall with a Lord Mayor, Alderman, Common Council, and all the tom fooleries of the 9th of Novem ber, but he was at a loss to u nderstand the opposition to this bill, which was for the health and comfort of the people occupying the densely populated districts of Fine- . _ bury. After some remarks from Mr. HENLEY, Sir G. GREY said he was unable, in the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to say what pledge or arrangement had been made by him of giving assistance. • If the hoii , o approved the veeond reading, it would not prevent their discussing the question of Government assistance. Sir Do L. EVANS concurred in the second reading. He thought that the Westminster people, having ad vantago of the best narks in London, ought to be the last to oppose the bill. Aft;.;r some remarks from' Mr. WALPOLE, Lord PALMERSTON said that communication bad taken place with the Government and the promoters of this park, for the health and recreation of the people of Finsbury. Tbey repreented to the Government that it would be almost impossible for them to raise a suffi cient sum by local rates, but that they thought it might be done by the Government assisting them with 50.000/. They also argued on the difficulties there would be in a few years to obtain the lend if delay took place, and the Government said that if they brought in the bill, and it was likely to be carried, that they would propose to Parliament to consent to such a grant, but he could not say s nether the money was to be paid on the passim of the bill or after certain work had been per formed. He objected to the principle that had been laid down in the discussion, that a local thing should not be charged on the general revenue of the country. The people of England vere interested in the health and welfare of the inhabitants of the metrop ffis. (Hear, and cries of "Divide.") Mr. NEWDEGATE objected to thus aping the gene ral system of France. He thought the members of par liament at the west end contributed to the wealth of the metropolis, aid they had a right when in London to enjoy the perks supported by local rates. Mr. BARROW objected to the principle of a Govern ment grant. By-and-bye it would be increased, and made general for all matters of this kind. The Marquis of BLANDFORD asked, if this ar rangement were agreed to, how the Government was to decline assisting the formation of Bermondsey-park and the throwing cpen of Hampstead-heath for the recreation and health of the people. A principle of rating was not a principle of benevolence. He believed the wealthy people of the metropolis would always be ready to assist their poorer brethren in such matters as these. How ever much ho might wish to see parks proposed for the people, he should feel bound to oppose the bill on the grounds ho bad stated. Mr. DILLWYN asked on what principle this grant was to be made, whether it was to he confined to the metropolis and those large towns who could bring pressure to bear on the Government, or applied indiscri minately all over the country when parks were to be formed ? Mr. AYRTON asked for an explanation of the prin ciple or- which the grant was made by the Government. He objected to the Government having the power of pro wising money like this, on a deputation waiting on them. Sir C. WOOD said the granting or not of the money by the Government had nothing to do with the question of the second reading of this bill. The grant of money would have to be discussed hereafter. He asked the house to vote for the second reading, and reserve the discussion on the grant till the time when it came before the house. Mr. RICARDO considered this the final step towards granting this 50,000/. He objected to granting this money for Finsbury out of the public funds, because a similar privilege was refused him for the Staffordshire Potteries. (Cries of "Divide.") Sir B. HALL said that he understood from the de bate the objection to the bill arose from the grant of 50,0001. by the Government, and as that was the case lie thought it was not desirous to stop the first production of the Board of Works to wards the iceprovevem6nt of the metropolis. Ha sug Bested that the opinion of this house should first be taken on the greeting of the 50,0001., and the second reading of the bill postponed, to give the Board of Works an op• eiortunity.ot considering whether they would proceed with the bill if this house refused the grant of 50,000/. (Cries of Divide.) Mr. MILES moved the adjournment of the debate till this day week. Mr. MALINS seconded the motion. (Cries of " di vile.") The SPEAKER, having put the question for the ad jourarnent, Mr, LOCKE (Honitoe) rose amidst cries of question. He considered it would be an injustice to throw out this bill. He supported the proposition of the adjournment of the second reading, to a'low the house time to decide on the grant of 10,0000/. Mr. HENLEY supported the adjournment of the second reading. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said such a postponement would prove fatal to the bill. (Divide.) Sir J. SHELLEY, amid loud cries of "Divide," explained that ho objected to the bill from a belief that it was an entire mistake to attempt to place this park where they proposed. He did not oppose the estabiish rneut of parks in the metropolis. After some remarks from Mr. Cox, and Mr. Darby Griffiths, inaudible from the loud cries of "divide, The house then divided on the adjournment of the debate Fer the adjournment Against it 123 Majority - 91 The debate was then ordered to be adjourned to Thursday next.

SPORTING NOTES. SPORT IN THE SOUTH. To-day the racing saturnalia in the North commenced, and to-morrow the gentlemen of the Bibury Club will inaugurate the sport in the South. The gatherings at Stockbridge and Winchester will attract a large number of gentlemen turfites, and the events to be decided on Tuesday, at least, will be particularly interesting. The pleasant ride to and from Andover or Winchester, each day, forms an additional element in the popularity of the trio of Hampshire meetings. The company will as usual be dispersed, but it is questionable, now the rail way is opened direct to Andover, whether many gentle men will sojourn at Winchester, where the hotel keepers have put sued the " railing system" to an extent which they will find has ruined their trade. The diversions of the gentlemen riders to-morrow will perhaps be scarcely as interesting to the spec tators as to the "performers." Much will depend upon the skill of the jockey, but as each person is likely to back his " mount," bookmakers may find brisk employ. ment. Alembic is not unfavourably weighted for the Bibury Stakes, and, with Captain Little in the saddle, I shall be induced to place confidence in his success. For the Handicap Sweepstakes—" jockey riders i '—my fancy points to Gaberlunzie and Georgie. The Champagne Stakes may be carried off by one of Lord Anglesey's nominations—perhaps Bridal Tour. If King of the Forest be fit and well, he shall claim my allegiance for the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes. The growing popularity of the Stockbridge meeting must be not a little gratifying to Mr John Day, whose efforts to improve the character of the sport have been signally successful. The great St. Levr champion, Ignoramus, will be sent from the north to do battle against Anton, the southern Derby " pet"—and, in fact, the meeting possesses " mettle" attractive enough to draw representatives from nearly every training esta blishment of importance in the kingdom. The pro gramme looks quite formidable with its Triennial Stakes, but so far as the numerical strength of the field is concerned it will bear comparison with the Hidalgo's supper, which consisted of very little meat but a great deal of table-cloth. _ _ _ The Triennial Stakes for four-yr.olls will, perhaps, cause two old opponents—Rogerthorpe and Aleppo—t• be again pitted against one another. Rogerthorpe will have 41bs the worst of the weights, and in consideration of the dead heat which he ran with Aleppo last year at York I am induced to believe that on this occasion Aleppo may succeed in getting his head sufficiently far in front to catch the judge's es!. Anton may go to the post unopposed for the Trim nial Stakes for thrse-yr-olds. Ike race of the day, however, will be that between Ignoramus and Anton, and the result will determine the St. Leger pretensions of each. Despite the rumours which state Ignoramus to be only a few pounds better than Skirmisher, I be lieve him quite good enough to beat Anton. By carrying off the Mottisfont Stakes, woodnymph may repay her noble owner her " travelling_bill " from the far Nortb. I see nothing in the list of nominations for the Stewards' Plate that attracts my fancy so much as the Chevalier d'lndnstric, who, if he bad not made such severe running at Ascot, might have given Skir• misher some trouble before he secured the Cup. The new law framed by the committee at Tattersall's merely reduces the time allowed defaulters to settle their accounts from two years to one. It was framed in con sequence of the return of a gentleman whose speculations in Wild Dayrell's year were most "indiscreet." I may have an opportunity of referring fully to this matter. A FRESH MAN. Jane 21 NEWCASTLE R ACES. The following horses have paid their forfeits for all their engagements here :—Assayer at 3.15 yesterday, Glede Hawk, Augury, Spread Eagle, Lady Alice, Remedy, King Brien, Repute, Night Ranger, Tiff, and Black Tiffaney. TA.TTERSALL'S-MONDAY. Very few bookmakers had quitted town for Newcastle, a large majority of turfites reserving themselves for the three gatherings in Hampshire. The room was, there fore, numerously attended, and a good show of businePs was presented. The actual transactions, however, were limited, but there was sufficient "talking" to excite both curiosity and attention. The advance of Mongrel to 5 to 1 for the Northumberland Plate produced no prejudi cial effect on Skirmisher, who was backed freely at i to 4 and 6to IF. Vandal was the only other animal in de. 'Rand for this e vent. 3to 1 was offered on the field for the St. Leger; 10 to 1 to 125/. was taken about Arsenal, 20 to 1 to 1501. about Adamas, and 50 to 1 to 100 i. about Athlete ; 500 tq, 400 was laid against Ignoramus and Blink Bonny coupled, and 100 even on Ignoramus„ Blink Bonny, and Adamas " mixed." The other quotations do not require comment. CLOSING PRICES.
