MONEY Ififfi RKET AND COMMERCIAL - iiTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLooK. I.Accontits from Liverpool state that ihe Cot ton karket, on Saturday, closed with a very active ap ilc,arance, and pi ices were at a slight improvement. The sales amounted to 15,000 belt s, 1,000 of which Were taken by the speculators. The Ilailway Share 111 ket closed steadily, and only a limited business "is transacted, at previous T The public sales of colonial wool, which com ra4ced on the 16th ultimo, terminated on Sat in.- Y last. During the series there was a full att end eof both home and foreign buyers, more parti tielllarlY of the lager, the demand for the Con t i nent bon very active, owing to the h i g h rates i ng for English wool. This rise is the raw T at erial prevented most of our Engl i s h bu y ers ; 41 making purchases to their usual ex ent, but the y 4e nevertheless induced to operate more freely in e : rt ain qualities of colonial wool. The sales o p ened an advance of about ld. to L'A. per lb. on the 2i a 'Y rates, which, after a few days, reach ed full y t ' Per lb. The extreme advance was well su stained ti the clo se . Th ese sales comprised a good selec 4of Sydney, Port Phillip, and Van Diemen's L and. n . Flocks, and those in good conditi on, sold 4- high " rates. The number of bales offered 1, 'anted to 82,394, of which 8 0 , 305 were colenial, '` ief lY from Port Phillip and the Cap e, and the L ill ainder were East Indian, Spanish , South ,; 4 0 1tican, and a few German. So uth Australian hil was mostly iu grease, and sold proportionately '• New Zealand wool, of which there was a 0a (1 assortment, attracted much atten tion ; and tha t wool g ener ally was in better conditio n than at off ered at the l as t M a y sa les, and sold uni rorbalY at the full advance quoted above. Buenos A ' t ea wools were also at improved rates. dar ing general inquiry for discount accom mod a tion ati plg the last f ew days has been much quiete r, ' the infl ux o f A us t r alian and American gold has ten ded to in crease the confidence felt in the progres s of jt ill enetary affairs. The best descriptions of corn tecia.l bills are negotiated at 51 per cent, but there no anticipation of a reduced minimum, while th e course of ()Vents in India is so uncertain, ion n of silver to that country continues on an extensive scale. Towards the close b et ,. " u e present week the demand is likely to ot h. -°l:a e more active, because merchants , and t hs e re will then be making preparations for h eoz; engagements falling due on the 4th iebn(l.lo) while the arrangemen ts for the s p ecie 411'4m:ices about the same period wi ll contribute eil lPorary influence upon the applications for c e aniary assistance. Notwithstanding supplies of t i, ve t , ...l,Zi l l no doubt be obtained on the C ontinent , il ug the ensuing fortnight which must lea d t o an z Pl3r tation of geld in payment, it is generally pr e CA. 4lllle d that a portion of the amount . ecl by th e Great Britain will be added to the th e a llic rese rves in Threadneedle-street, and thus lillbillaProvetnent exhibited by the Bank return p ro mahed on Friday, is likely to make further -gros s. La, t week the imports of the precious metals 0 ,„ estimated at 1,305,8531., and the exports at 1'155,9661. It • is expected that a portion of the 511,000/. re `ved b t aw , the Great Britain will b 3 sent into the immediately upon its arrival in London.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were well supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Barley and all other kinds of spring corn sold steadily at full quotations. Flour was dull and droop ing. On the Continent, wheat sold slowly; but spring corn has commanded full prices. In the United States, very little has been done on English account. Up to our market last week, the receipts of English wheat were good. From abroad the arrivals were 22,622 quarters of wheat, 6,621 barley, 77,315 oats, 52 beans, 1,422 peas, 819 tares, 2,435 linseed, 1,855 rapeseed, 50 mustard-seed, 10 sundry seeds, and a few parcels of flour. Fresh up, to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., the arrivals of En3lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were ex tensive, and for the most part in excellent condition. Most of the finest samples weighed 6 Ilbs. per bushel. Al though the attendance of both town and country millers was very numerous, the demand, for both old and new qualities, ruled excessively heavy, and, compared with Monday last, prices gave way from 5s to 6s per qr. There was an extensive show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary. The trade was in a depressed state, and the currencies were nominally 2s to 3s per qr. lowei' than on Monday last. In floating cargoes of grain, only little was passing. The show of English barley was limited ; of foreign, very moderate. There:was a steady inquiry for most kinds, and late rates were well supported, except inferior kindsi which were ls. to 2s. lower. Fine malt supported previous rates ; but inferior parcels were very dull. The supply of foreign oats was very largo. Good sound samples sold to a fair extent at, full prices ; but inferior qualities were fully Cd. per cwt. cheaper. There was a fair demand for beans, at full quotations. Peas moved off steadily at full The flour trade was heavy, way Is. to 2s. per sazk.

In Hol land and Belgium it is assumed that the proposed abolition of the monopoly in the sale of meat in Pam is will have the effect of producing au additional demand i❑ the leading frontier markets. There was a full average show of foreign stock in to day's market, but its general quality was by no means first-rate. From our own grazing districts, the samples of beasts fresh up this morning were very moderate, and in but middling con lition. The attendance of butchers was good and the beef trade ruled brisk, at au advance in the quota tions realised on Monday last of 2d per Ms. The best Scots sold readily, at fully 5s per Sibs. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire were 1,709 short horns ; from other parts of England, 3,5',0 of various breeds; from Ire land 170 oxen, an I scarcely any from Scotland. We were but moderately supplied with sheep, the gene ral weight and condition of which were inferior. The mutton trade was dull, and prices were fully 2d per Blbs higher than on this day sen'night. The best Downs sold readily, at fully 53 4d per Sibs. There was a moderate inquiry for lambs, the show of which was by no meansextensive, at late rates, viz., 4s Sd to 6s per 81bs. The supply of calves was only moderato, and the voal t►ado was less active, at 2d par Blbs less money. The top price was 4s 8d per Blbs. We had a dull sale for pigs, yet prices were supported.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET. SELF-ACCUSATION of A BURGLARY BY A PRIVATE OF THE 72n HIGHLANDERS.—John SVTiam Power, a private of the 98th Regiment of Foot, and James Gillen, a pri vate of the 72d Highlauders, were charged before Mr. Beadon on suspicion of being concerned in the following burglaries. Inspector Park, C division, stated that about half past 12 o'clock yesterday morning he was at the station house, Vine-street, Piccadilly, when the prisoner Gillon came in and said that he, with a man named Power, had been concerned in a burglary at the Marine Hotel, Sandgate. Witness took down his statement, at the conclusion of which he made another statement, to the effect that they had also committed another bur glary at the Cliff Hotel. He was dressed in the mili tary clothing of the regiment. Gillon told him that he was absent from his regiment without leave, and he informed him that Power lived in Compton• court, Marylebone-lane. Witness went there and saw Power, He stated to him what was the charge against him, upon which he denied all knowledge of the bur glary. At the station-house Power observed that be met Gillon on the road, and that he put in his hand some silver watches. This was on the morning of the 4th. Mr. Beadon asked if any communication bad been mede to the officers of the regiments to which the priso ners belonged I The Inspector replied that be had received an answer that Gillon bad been before the Dover magistrates, and that he was discharged. (The inspector produced the statement he wrote down.) Gillen said that he did not wish to add anything to the statement he made to the inspector, aqd Power ob served that the charge was made against him by Gillon in consequence of a quarrel between them. They were remanded. SOUTHWARK. Mary Conden, a well-known character, was charged before Mr. Burcham with stealing a pint pat, the pro perty of Mr. Orley, landlord of the Surrey Store, New ington-causeway. The evidence being perfectly satisfac• tory, the prisoner was sentenced to one month't imprisonment, with hard labour. THAMES. BATHING IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.—A PUBLIC SCAN DAL.—Jtrentiah Kennar, aged 25, James Anttier, 20, Charles Bilton, 16, and John Newinton, 13, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with bathing in public and exposed parts of the Regent's Canal, abutting on Canal-road, Mile-end-road, and Rhodeswell-road, near the Commercial Gasworks, Stepney. It appeared from the evidence of Ram, a police-con stable, No. 259 K, that many hundreds of men and boys were bathing in the canal close to the public roads during the whole of yesterday, and again this morning. Mr. Yardley said bathing was an innocent and healthful recreation, and ought to be encouraged rather than refused in proper localities, but the Regent's canal, in Stepney, and Limehouse, was not a proper place for bathing. It was highly disgraceful for Kennar, who was a grown man, to bathe in such a place and exhibit himself as be had done before children of both sexes. The same remarks applied to Angier. Ho fined Kennar and Angier 10s. each, and Bilton ss. only. The boy Newington would be discharged. Bathing must be carried on in proper places, and if the fines be had levied did not stop the evil complained of, he should inflict fines of 40s. on every person offending. .TIORRIILE MURDER IN AMERICA. Saturday morning, at about a quarter past 5 o'clock a shocking tragedy occurred here at the Sea View House, Nevasink, N. J. Albert S. Moses, at the time desig fluted temporary barkeeper, was heard crying murder as he was running in his night clothes from the hall of the third floor of the mainlbuilding, and on the approach of those attracted by the cry he retreated to his room and his bed, some 20 feet from the stairway. He was found in his bed with his throat cut and bleeding profusely. The matting on the passage floor was literally covered with blood to the stairway. Upon inquiry the dying man said that James P. Donnelly, the bookkeeper of the house, had killed him ; that during the night they had been gambling ; that deceased had won some 55 dollars of Donnelly, and that the assassination was the result of a desperate. resolution on the part of Donnelly to recover the money. There being no physician at the Sea View House, a messenger was sent over to the neighbour ing hotel, Mr. Thompson's, in search of one. One of the guests referred the messenger at once to Dr. Con nery, or as he is more generally known Coroner Connery of New York, who with all possible dispatch repaired to the scene of the hOmicide. First, as surgeon, he sewed up and dressed the wound in the throat of the unfortu nate man ; next, in the capacity of coroner, he proceeded to organise a coroner's jury, and an ante nzortem exami nation into the facts connected with the inevitable death of the wounded man ; next, as a magistrate, the coroner proceded to secure the prisoner in custody in the house and to give the required notices to the appropriate local autho.ities over the seloject. We understand from careful inquiries among the guests and attaches of the Sea View House that Moses, when asked by one of the persons attracted to his room by his cries and groans of the circumstances of this blosdy affair, replied that the first intimation he had of the Ipresence of his murderer was the fatal blow at his throat, which startled him in pain and terror from his sleep ; that he instantly sprang up in his be I and said (for it was daylight) that Donnelly was the man, that Donnelly fled, and that his victim pursued him down the passage, crying murder. It further appears that the 50 or 55 dollars which deceased, during the night, had won of somebody at cards, was not, the money of Donnelly, but the money of the house or of a guest or guests of the house, of which, as beekeeper, he was the custodian. It is said tbat a portion of the money thus supposed to have been abstracted from the safe belonged to an absent Spanish gentleman, whose return was expected to-day, and the theory of the case upon this startling point is thus made out—that Donnelly had appropriated the funds from the safe for gambling, that he had lost enough to disclose his dishonesty she he fail to restore the money before the regular hour of droceeding to business in the morning ; that, accordingly, lie stole into the room of Moses, who had fallen asleep, and that Dennslly was searching for his money about the bed when Moses made a stir, when, from the desperate excitement of the moment Donnelly stabbed him in the neck—that there upon, frightened with the instant conviction of his terrible crime, he instantly fled to make such efforts to cover it up as the exigency of the case would allow. Perhaps had Moses deposited the money between the beds he occupied his life would not have paid the forfeit, but he had taken the precaution to put the money between the matresses of a bed in an a Ijsining room, not occupied by any one, but having a communicating door with his own room. Unable to find the money, the presumption is that Donnelly's mind was wrought up to a state of frenzy, and hence the murder.

The coolness and self-possession of the dying man in his his last agonies were very remarkable. He persisted to the last that Donnelly had killed him, and ordered him to be kept off.

The Eventful Voyage of JP.M.S. Resolute to the Arctic Regions. By G. F. M`Dougall, Master. Longman. The records of the exploits and adventures of Arctic navigators always possess an especial interest. The loneliness and danger of the undertaking, the toil and hardship they have to undergo, the priva tions they have too often to encounter, invest the narrative of their proceedings with au excitement and novelty that even the tales of perils by sea, enthralling as they proverbially are, do not often equal. The actors in these scenes, too, must be men of high character and intrepid resolution. The ffieers must be- experienced and courageous, the men must necessarily be of an adventurous and un daunted character to volunteer for such a service. For though it is scarcely possible to appreciate its difficulties and hardships at a distance, its perils are not of the exciting kind that attract -the unstable, and the catalogue of missing ones, as well as the recitals of some of the voyagers, are sufficient to scare the unthinking, Several such narratives have recently been put iu circulation. It will ba recol lected that a short time ago. Dr. Armstrong of the " Investigator" published an account of the im portant voyage of that vessel, the discovery of the redoubtable North West Passage, and the final alandoninent of the ship in the Bay of Mercy. The crew of the Investigator, as is well known, were rescued from their perilous and depressing position by Lieut. Pim, who conveyed to them the joyful intelligence that the " Resolute" and " Intrepid" were then at Melville Island. The present volume forms a companion picture to that interesting nar rative, and though it does not record such a remark able event as the discovery of the North West Pas sage, nor has it, happily, to chronicle such priva tions and sufferings, it is in no ways deficient in interest of its own. Indeed it is in some respects a more agreeable work, as the brave and cheerful spirit of the writer seems to have defied the whole tribe of ice-spirits to disconcert or depress. The most cordial feeling , appears to have existed between all the mem bers of the little band, and Mr. M`Dougall dedicates his work to Captain Kellett, in terms ex pressing the warmest encomiums of his public services. This work, he tells us, is simply what it professes to be, a journal kept on board up to the time of the abandonment of the ship, and was in tended to be private, but, fortunately, his friends perceived how -useful and interesting such a narra tive would be.to the public, and the writer agreed the more readily as Sir Edward Beloher's expedi tion having divided, the Resolute and Intrepid formed a distinct party. He has no right, how= ever, to claim the indulgence of the public fcr the style of the work, as it is throughout clear and simple, and leaves nothing to be desired. The ex pedition left Greenhithe on the 21st of April, 1852, and in about a month had their first sight of ice. The squadron, which consisted of five vessels, under the command of Sir Edward Belclier, C. 8., proceeded to Beechey Island, where they separated, and the Resolute and Intrepid were despatched to Melville Island. The Assistance and Pioneer pro ceeded up Wellington Channel, while the North Star remained at Beechey Island as a depot in case of either of the other ships being deserted. The narrative of their proceedings, their hair breadth escapes, and various adventures, and the manner in which they contrived to pass the long and dreary winter months, is full of .interest, and reflects the highest credit on all concerned. Here is one of their earliest adventures soon after leav- ing Beechey Island. The ship had grounded in Assistance Bay, and they perceived an extensive floe of ice approaching them : "To give the reader a better idea of our situation, it will bo necessary to destribe the relative positions of the ship and approaching ice. The vessel, as I have before stated, was grounded on her port bilge, with about seven feet of water under her stern and six under her bow, whilst the floe on her port (or lee) beam was advancing at the rate of one mile and a half an hour directly towards her. Its length was about two miles and a half, by one mile and a half broad, and was afterwards proved to be about three feet six inches thick. " About seven, the edge of the ice took the ship under the lee gangway, shaking her throughout. A moment bad scarcely elapsed ero we became sensible of the ship's lifting, and instinctively each man grasped a rope as he be came aware she would be inevitably thrown over. Yielding inch by inch before such a powerful lever, the ship at length rested on her keel, but it was but mo mentary, for in a second she was thrown over on her star board side, with a shock sufficient to bring every mast by the board. "As it was, the very topmasts bent like whalebone, bringing a fearful strain on the weather shrouds ; but not a ropo was stranded, nor a single spar injured by this un precedented and appalling occurrence. " Would the ship be borne before the ice? or remain im moveable on the ground ? were questions that naturally suggested themselves. Supposing the &at to be the case she would bo forced nearer the shore, into small water, which would lessen the chances of getting off, and if the latter, she would in all probability be overrun and buried beneath the ice, as.many a gallant ship had been, under somewhat similar circumstances, in Melville Bay. "A careful eye was kept on the lead, but the ship re mained fixed, and her side was thus opposed to the ice, on whose progress, however, it had no effect, As the pres sure increased, huge pieces scaled the side, and would have fallen in board, had not men been stationed on the gun wale with poles, to repel these formidable boarders. " Oar sternpost bore the greatest strain ; to ease the pressure, charges were sunk in the ice, breaking it all around ; but this was found to give the ice fresh motion, and ultimately increase the danger. For two hours we re mained in this trying position ; at the end of that time the floe was obser red to be moving more out of the bay, when the pressure decreased considerably." After a certain distance the compasses ceased to be of service, and would only have misled 'them. The months of darkness Mr. 111Dougall repeatedly refers to as the most depressing incident, and the return of the sun after his long absence was hailed with delight. In the early spring the travelling parties were despatched, Lieutenant Pim starting for Bankes' Land on the 19th of March, making the earliest extended spring journey on record. On the 6th of April he descried the Investigator, and running on in advance he came upon Captain M'Clure and Lieutenant Haswell walking on the ice discussing their prospects. At first they thought he was one of the seamen : " On a closer inspection they thought he must bo an Esquitna,ux ; but although labouringunder this impression, Captain M'Clure naturally called out (in English), In the name of God, who are you?' The effect of the answer I am Lieut. Pim of the Resolute (Captain ICellet), now at Melville Island,' may or rather must be conceived ; far as I am aware I could not describe it, I do not intend attempting it. " Whilst this scene was being enacted, a man from the deck saw Lieut. Pim, and indistinctly caught his abswer. Rushing below he roused all hands, by caring out, ' Here's a stranger alongside from some ship. The effect was astounding ; the sick vied with the healthy in activity to get on deck. All was haste and confusion ; in a moment the lower deck was cleared, the carpenters had dropped their tools (they were making the first coffin), and even the men on shore, digging a grave, seeing that something unusual had occurred: hurried off to share in the astonish went and delight of their excited shipmates." The astonishment of the crew of the "Resolute" was great when the returning party accosted them with, " The Investigator is found, and M'Clure is close behind." They were not discovered any too soon, for out of the party of six men who accom panied Captain M'Clure on his journey to the "Resolute," four were obliged to be put on the sick list immediately after their arrival, although they had been picked out as the strongest. Though, fortunately, not reduced to such extremities, the crews of the " Resolute" and " Intrepid" had much to endure, and several sunk under it. Four, out of the " Intrepid's" crew of thirty men, were buried in the ice. After passing two winters in the ice, and having no prospect of release, the ships 'were abandoned, and the same fate befell the "Assistance' and the " Pioneer," thus makin g in all five vessels abandoned. Not all, however, lost, for for the stout old " Resolute ' " on being released by the weather, commenced her homeward journey unaided ; and the writer gives us a full account of her recovery by Capt. Buddington, U.S., and her restoration to her Majesty by the generality and good feeling of the Government of the United States "The vessel herself, however, had, strange to say, escaped any material injury, after a self-directed voyage of no less than nearly 1,00 miles, along a track abounding in perils, not only from rocks, shoals, and other dangers which a ship is heir to, but those ever moving icy plains, and mighty crystal mountains, that sail in undisputed sway, and form the terror of the Arctic Ocean." It may be imagined with what feelings the officers and crews locked at the vessel they had left so far away, with so little expectation of seeing again. With regard to Sir John Franklin and his com panions the writer has little hope :-- " Setting aside the belief of many, that thee Erebus' and Terror' were lost on their homeward rout --4 verY possible fate to befall any vessel nav_ ar i n g iud, a ,am t d i si n rot g esiain ics e ffi s ay on dark nights amidst innumerable icebergs, — l h d a y " o men f " tautly come to the conclusion that no b:ttending BO could withstand the rigour and P t_ solitudes of protracted a stay amidst the dark the frigid zone, under the same c ir o o_ e fth missing ships, h S t ir we Jo in hn al a l n p a ro t h h fbi o l fa ity ce or the strongest uninjured. can face unflinching , The third winter is said to be more than the boldest brseeannapl carceen All on board the "Resolute" united in endeavour ss the i r two winters in the best Manner, ianngd to t pa theatrical performances, lectures. &c., were arranged by the captain and officers to lighten the tame. The weather they experienced was very severe ; thus, on the 12th of April, 1854, Mr. McDougall enters in his journal the following no te :—" At 5 p.m. this day the temperature rose to zero, being the first time it had attained that height since October 28th, 1853, being a period of no less than 166 days." In the first week of Octo ber, 1854, the adventurers returned, having been absent more than two years. , As we before stated, Mr. McDougall appends a full account of the re covery and restoration of the "Resolute," which is very curious. A 'nap at the counneuceineut dicates the course of the vessels, and the supposed course of the "Resolute" on her self-guided voyage. The illustrations are numerous, and give a vivid idea of the wildness and desolation of the Arctic regions. In addition to seven large coloured plates, there-are a number of wood-cues, which are of great assistance to the reader. The nautical and meteorological observations are given in full, for the benefit of all future Arctic travellers. To all who feel an interest in the fortunes of these in trepid adventurers, as well as those scientific amateurs who wish to familiarise themselves with the peculiarities of these frozen regions, we heartily commend this iuterestir.g narrative, which we feo sure will receive a cordial welcome from the - Lectures and Miscellanies. By 11. `'..Freeland, M.A. Longman. This volume consists of selections from the, writ ings of a clever and thoughtful writer, who wilL probably at some future day give to the public a more complete and independent work. It consists of lectures given by him at the Chichester Literary Society, since revised and added to, and some mid cellaneouscriticisms co n t r ib u t e d t o th e p ress . Th e most considerable papers are those on " Literary Impostures," and "The Lifd and Writings of La maitine," both of which display a knowledge of the subject, and some skill iu the use of it. The style is clear and occasionally impressive ; and. however much the reader may differ f rom th e opinions set forward, be will probably find some gratification in the perusal of the volume. , Life in China. By the Rev. W. Milne, Roneledge._ The author of this work has been for many years a missionary among the Chinese, having left Eng land for China in 1839, and, wilt only au absences of two years, having remained there until 1854. He visited, in the prosecution of his object, many places in the interior of China ' • and, his knowledge of the people and the country being extensive, he thought on his return home he would endeavour to clear the European mind from many unfounded prejudices and mistaken notions. He divide's his work into four parts, conveying a varied amount of information, and accompanied by four maps. At the present time, when the public attention is turned towards those distant countries of the East with a general interest and desire of information rarely evinced in earlier days, a volume of this kind is likely to be really useful, by disseminating true ideas instead of fidse and disabusing the reader's mind of many popular errors. Lands of the Slave and the Free. By Cap'.airt the Hon. H. A. Murray, R.A. Routledge. . This ii the second cheap edition of this lively and entertaining work, which gives a series of animated sketches of life in Cuba, the United States, and Canada. It is issued in a commodious and elegant form, and embellished with numerous engravings, the frontispiece representing a very alarming Mississippi steamer, with four funnels, and the ap propriate name of Screecher. The work has plenty of infornaatiou respecting Transatlantic life ; and in its present form is likely to enjoy an extended popularity. Our Indian. Army. By Captain Rafter, Author of " The Gu'ards,' (47:c. - David Brice. At the present epoch of excitement and painful interest respecting our Indian Empire, we may ex pect a large number of histories and narratives re lating in some way to the scene of action. The present volume is a very useful specimen of this class of works, as it gives, in a full and authentic manner, a military history of the Dri•ish Empire in the East. The author justly remarks in the pre face, that the general ignorance on this subject is astonishing ; awl, feeling that at the present time a more general knowledge was highly adviseable, he has endeavoured to give in a popular form an ac ount of the progress of our arms during the last century. This attempt is likely to be successful, and to be a useful volume of reference to those already acquainted with the subject, as well as for enlightening the ignorant on this important topic. • SPORTING NOTES. The authorities at York have been prompted to ex• tend their meeting, and to make certain alterations totally at variance from the wishes of the best supporters of the meeting. They have taken their cue from a clique that has only interested motives to consult, and who would seemingly have little fear of hazarding the reputa• tion of the gathering. so long as the purpose for which the alteration is required be answered. The decided disapprobation, however, with which the proposed plan has been received will, doubtless, induce the committee to reconsider their intention. The meeting certainly re quires strengthening, but not extending, and to add another day to it they would be merely following the example of the Irishman who, to lengthen his blanket, cut a piece off the top and sewed it on the bqttom. Mr. Jackson afforded explanations of the scratching of Mongrel for the Ebor Handicap, and the retrogression of Saunterer for the Great Yorkshire Stakes. The Bor derer and Hobgoblin were, however, struck out without any reason being assigned, but the public was not slow in furnishing a motive. Warlock's success over Fisher man can only be deemed one of those "flukes" which are of as frequent occurrence on the turf as they are amongst inexpert billiard players. The heavy ground was not perhaps suited to Fisherman, and, after all, Mr. Parr may have discovered the true cause of the old horse's defeat, for he asserted that the oppressively, hot day rendered Fisherman almost incapable of moving. The running of Merlin and El Hakim showed how deceptive must have been the trial to which the backers of Merlin pinned their faith. Although 50 to 1 was offered against El Hakim at the start, yet he was not a veritable outsider, for about three weeks ago he was heavily backed at a somewhat short price. Warlotk ran like a slow bad horse. The two-yrs-old races were not remarkably interesting. John Scott's youngsters cut up badly and Cick-a•doodle doo was even more disgraced than he was at Newmar ket. Every opponent went down before Skirmisher and Vedette, and great was the delight of the Tykes at the triumph of the "spots." Lord Rutland declared to in with Vedette for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and the takers of the odds were indignant because he did it. It is said that Skirmisher could have won, but those people who, on the strength of Lord Zetland's declaration, had laid 5 to 2 on Vedette, would have indeed had cause to complain if Skirmisher had been allowed to beat Vedette. So many meetings are appointed to take place this week, that the sporting newspapers have much of their space occupied by programes alone. Business commences this day at Radcliffe, where the " Manchester division'' will be left in undisputable possession of the field, fur metropolitan turfites will confine their operations to Eg. ham and Ipswich. I shall not refer to the events to " come oil" at Radcliffe, as I possess little information as to the probable starters, and because the same horses Lave so many engagements there that it is impossible to say for which they may be intended. The rac3s on Runnymede will attract a large con course of spectators, and if the sport be not of first-rate quality the quantity will be satisfactory enough. Fif teen are nominated for the King John Stakes, Sedbury seeming quite capable of giving "the Gib extra" to any his opponents. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes will not attract many runners. Winkfield, who was sold last week for 330 guineas, may put in an appearance, and his chance is certainly worth notice. He is lucky at Egham, as his memorable victory over Rataplan will attest. Still, in his absence, I shall be inclined to select either Claude Lorraine or Eloquence. The Runnymede Stakes may be won by either Nere us or The Unexpected. Schoolfellow may wiu the Barons'SLak CEI, and the Grand Duchess the Magna Charta S:akes. The Ipswich and Hereford progratu na cs I shall reserve for discussion until WeJneeday. A FRESH MAN. ....•.-- A BOY Dnow N Fp WHILE BATHING.—An inquest was hold on satur d,,y afternoon before Mr. W. Baker, at Old n.rd-road, Victoria-Park, respecting the death of James Douoghue, aged 12. The deceased and another boy left St. John-street, Clerkenwel, on Friday morning, to bathe in the Regent's Canal, Bethnal-green, when he got out of his depth and disappeared. Mr. Russell and his son, the lock-keepers, immediately procured the drags, but the body was not found for 20 minutoe, and efforts to restore animation were of no avail. Verdict of accidental death.
