TO THI IMITOR OF TIM IMPIZIM.
Sts,—The three days' business at York, singular
to relate, brought Ruth* to light ooacerniog either the Si.
Leger or next year's Derby, as the best of the two and
three year olds performing donot happen to be engaged, and
it is a strange coincidence that neither Livingstone, Le *wi-
thal, nor the Wasp eolt, not forgetting the fillies Tornado,
Lady Augusta, Ceriutha, and Old Orange Girl, should be
in • positioe to contest next jeer's blue riterid. Blue
Mantle, Escape, PnitMue, King of Utopia, Michael Scott,
and Zapsteadu comprise the only Derby horses I saw at the
meeting worth mentioning ; and taking it for granted
Livingstone would have woe the Convivial bad he not been
shut in, also that Is. Maratha or Old Orange Girl
would have landed the Seventh Biennial had they
got off on even terms with the King of Utopia,
it does not seem probable the winner is
among them, for the defeat. of Cerintha and the Wasp
colt in the Gimcrack settled the pretensions of Pratique
most effectually, and Escape had some difficulty in beating
his moderate lot of opponents for the Prism of Wales's
Stakes. &palisade and Michael Scott certainly looked
capable of vast improvement, and the latter might just
as well have been at home for the condition he was in,
it being doubtful whether be can be made ready for Don-
caster ; while Blue Mantle's display of temper before the
start for the Convivial must have taken the steel out
of him ; but it is imposaible to dispute the fact of
Livingstone, Le Marichal, Cerintba, Lady Auguste, and
Old Orange Girl being the best two-year-old performers
during the three days, and such being the case it is
hardly possible for an inferior lot to produce the
Derby winner, even though neither of the above five is in the
race. The forthcoming St. Leger is similarly situated with
regard to the performances of the three-yearolds, as Zet-
lath and Feu deJoie (note ngaged) exhibited a decided supe
riority over Imperatrice, Bonny BruAlmth, Ace of Clubs,
the Clarissa colt, and Welcome ; and but for the fact of so
many St. Leger winners having been beaten at York, not
one of these would hold a position in the market. It is
surprising that Bonny Breastknot, after suffering a must
easy defeat from Feu de Joie when in receipt of 10Ib, god
also from Zetland subsequently, should be a consider-
ably better favourite than ever, especially when it is borne
in mind how easily Cansbrook defeated Feu de Joie and
Zetland for the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ascot ; and I
would rather trust Imperstrice of the defeated mares, much
u Boooy Breast Knot promises to improve in the course
of a month. Investment ran badly, and was so short
of preparation that it will be hardly worth while looking
out for him until the " back end," several others,
I strongly suspect, having only performed with as eye
to getting well treated in the autumn handicaps. Of these.
Interduca, The Monk, Dulcibells, and King of Kan, are
worth bearing in mind, unless the handicappers take too
great • care of them. Had not Caller On surprised her
friends and the talent. by a defeat of Ivanhoff in the Queen's
Plato, she would have got " nicely in • for the Courewiteb;
and 1 cannot but suppose her triumph did not snit the
" division," when the jockey was so ready to admit the
charge of foul riding made against him by Aldcroft, for no
one saw the occurrence besides the plaintiff and defendant,
and had not Withiogton crimiaated himself (without the
least occasion) Caller On would assuredly have been allowed
the Plate. A more frivolous objection was never merle,
as when the alleged driving on to the rails took place,
the home said to be disappointed (Lord Glasgow's
wretched Young Melbourne colt) was beaten, and
quite out of the race ; the stewards themselves
going so far as to say, " We do not consider the
rider of Caller Ou to have been guilty of any intentional
misconduct." The principal sufferers by the disqualifica-
tion were put into good humour by the result of the Ebor
Handicap, which came on for decision just after the fiat
went forth, for the Makeless filly carried very little money,
the Drake being considered the best of Lord Glasgow's, and
had there been anything like a field, she would have started
at 20 to L The nonctarting of Ivanhoff was unavoidable ;
but Bally Edrnood's &bathm was pretty freely commented
upon, as be did his work on the course early on Tuesday
morning, and his backers thought they would at least get
a "run," if no better one than they had last year, when
he went so suspiciously in the market at the last
moment. It was the general opinion that Cape Fly-
away might have woo had Aldcroft brought him
sooner; the fact of his staying being so doubtful,
never appearing to enter people's minds, and he is matched
against the winner over the same distance for one of the
Newmai ket meetings ; however, although he has • 3lb ad-
vantage in the weights, I cannot but believe the mare will
,gain beat him, feeling confident she eon with something
t*Trimitockton (three days), Egham (two days), and Lich-
field (two days) meetings commence on Tuesday ; and to
fill up the week we have some sport at Bridgewater on
Thursday and Friday, and also at Tunbridge and Ludlow on
Friday ; but only the three first-named are of any great im-
portune. Stockton comes in the category of first-ci, and
it would come up to the late meeting at York did not the
rich prizes exhibit too much lameness. The Fifth
Zetland Biennial, and Great Northern Leger, both
for 3-yr-olds, the mile and • half, have nearly the
name animals engaged in each, for supposing Hurri-
cane, Carisbrook, and Johnny Armstrong will not
jeopardise their Doncaster pretensions by running in the
lest-named, Q. E. D., Zetlsod, and Bonny Breastknot
ought to carry off the two prizes between them, and the
latter may secure one of them. The Cleveland Stakes, for
4-yr-olds, sax furlongs, the Wasp colt will not be the last
in, despite the 71b penalty, as the 3lb allowed Scamender is
sot half fit yet, and Tease-me-not appears to have • temper
of her own, so that if the latter does not take it into her
head to run kindly, Mr. Merry's colt will only have to fear
0, Peck's Contralto or Criterion (51b extra), the former being
• promising youngster that ran not half prepared at York.
The Tradesmen's Handicap, two miles, Brighton, 6st lib, or
Welcome, fist 51b, ought to secure ; tied the six furlongs
Harry Fowler Plate has Lord Albert, 3 yrs, fist 71b,
handicapped, the best I tan select to trouble him being Tat-

loose lot, and he =Dot have gone so bad as the handicapper
would insinuate. The Hardwicke Stakes, for 2-yr-olds,

therbow, Sat 101 b, Michael Scott, Sit 1016. Lord
(Slides, Sit 41b. Scanander, Sat 51b, Borealis, Bst filb, Soap-
stone, fist 416, Livingstone, 94 llb, and Zvi:etude, Bst 101 b ;
the two last-named are the most threatening, and if Lord
Stamford's colt can get the distance he has all the best of it.
The Wynyard Plata, one mile, will Boa Manta, 3-Yell.
fist 121 b, • good selection per, if he is only backed ; tat the
Elton Juvenile Handicap and Thonuby Selling Stakes will
not bear interfering with at this writing, the remaining
event fixed for the second day, the Lambton Stakes, being •
gift for Bohemia. The 2-yrold Zetland Biennial, five
furlongs, looks • match between Old Orange Girl (516
extra) and Zapsteado, and it is doubtful whether
the two first day's racing will bring forth one able
to compete with them. At present, the Middlesborough
Handicap, one mile and a half, appears • match between
Caller Ou, 4yn, Bst 51b, and Bernina, 4yrs, set 131 b; the 81b
advantage in the weights may cause the Brahmin to over
throw Zeeland forth, Billingham Grange Plate, u the dis-
tance is only one mile and • quarter; Tease-me-not, at
7st 51b, must be near winning the Garbutt Nursery Plate ;
and Bonny Breastkaot, 7st 101 b, has some chance for the
Cup. one mile and • half.
My pen need not be occupied long with the Egham pro-
gramme, for but six events are complete u yet, and only
one can assume the least importance—i.e., the King John
Stakes, for 2-yr-olds, three-quarters of • mile. In this,
Tom Fool has so much the best of the weights, as to
almost negative his dislike for the distance, Soapstooe bevies
to give him 61b, Overture 31b, Charlemagne 31b, and
Revolver filb, and the Reading performance shows he
has only Soapstone to fear, Edgeworth Bess, with her
31b allowance, being about the most dangerous of the out-
side division. The Runnymede Handicap, one mile, his
Dux, 3 yrs, 7st 21b. far the best in ; and Bloodhound.
3 yrs, 10st, cannot complain at his impost for the Welter
Handicap, one mile, Libellous being most likely to prefer
the Betting Stand Plate, six furlongs, where he Liu Bst 12th ;
Lord Stanley, 3 yea, fist 91b, and Surhiton Hill, 3 yes,
fist 616, however, will take some besting therein. The
Surrey and Middlesex Handicap, two miles, has • bad
acceptance, and the Fannie colt, 3 yre, 7st 11b, is the only
one likely to trouble Sychophant, 4 yre, fist 1016. The
Baron's Handicap, for 2.yrolds, six furlongs, is the last
item in the list ; and Supra, 7st 101 b, is the best I can
select for it. The Lichfield programme is nearly complete,
and yet is only necessary to notice briefly the principal

nuisance and injury to the public health of Liverpool,
by the storage of petroleum. Mr. Ransil, who ap-
for Mr. Bigham, said that there were no
d than 70 witnesses named on the back of the indictment,
and that he was not prepared to meet the case at the pre-
sent amino. He asked, therefore, for • pcetponement until
the winter court.
Mr. Littler, who appeared for the prosecution, said that
if the case were postponed a great dad of mischief and in-
convenience might be created. The ouisance was so great
that, for the extent of • mile, the domestic comfort and
health of the inhabitants in the vicinity of the premises
where the petroleum was stored were greatly interfered
with, and the smell was so nauseous that horses lost their
appetite in consequence. Besides, there was also • danger
from the explosive character of the oil.
On the other hand. Mr. Humid contended that the offen-
sive small did not arise from the storing, but from the
manufacture of the oil, and that though the process of
manufacture was conducted near the defendant's premises,
be bad no pentad interest in or control over it.

Till BRITISH COLUMBIA OVERLAND TRANSIT
COMPANY.

James Henson, the secretary to the British
Columbia Overland Transit Company, again appeared at
Guildhall on Saturday' in discharge of his recognissace, to
answer the charge of obtaining a sum of 421. wider false
, with intent to cheat and defraud Mr. Henry
rsaeirt7oe llingwood.
After some further evidence had been given, it wu
arranged that the cue should stand over until the
15th of September, and in the meantime the effect of a
summons, requiring Colonel Sleigh's attendance, should be
tried, and if not successful, a warrant to issue. It worn
stated that Colonel Sleigh wan in Paris.
The defendant was required to lad two sureties in 501.
each, and his own mcogalances in 1001., to appear on the
day named.

Mr. Liddell retired for a few momenta to consult Mr.
Justice Mellor, and on his return intimated that he should
call on Mr. Bigham to eater into recognisance% to appear at
the next swims. In the meantime, however, should any
serious as special damage arise from the storage of the oil,
the defendant would be held responsible.
Mr. Bigbam was then formally bound over to appear, or
forfeit 5001.
Michael Gassing, lately employed at the cotton-spinning
mill of Messrs. Boyne., Ashton-uoder•Lyne, was indicted
for demanding money by means of forged wage tickets. On
the previous day the prisoner had been charged with ob-
taining money by the same process and acquitted. Ile wee
now found Guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprhon-
meat with hard labour. In paring sentence the de-
scribed the artifice adopted by the prisoner aa an impudent
cheat, and said that if such practices were not checked they
would create the greatest possible confuston in mills and
other large establishmenta.
The court was then adjourned until Monday, at 10 o'clock.

WRIGHT AND ANOTHER R. THE LANCASHIRE AND TOR/SHIRR

RAILWAY.
The plsintiffs were Mr. Biebard Wright, an ironmonger,
and his wife Jane. Os the 25th of May, 1861, the plaintiffs
were fust-class passengers in a Whit-week excursion train
on the defendant's line from Manchester to Houghton, near
Preston. On the return of the excursion passengers their
train ran into a luggage train, at a place near Blackburn,
the luggage train having started only about five minutes
before them. Mrs. Wright was injured by being thrown os
her head against the side of the carriage, and was efterwards
confined to bed for three weeks, her sufferings from giddi-
ness and shock to the nervous system being so great that
she had even yet not quite recovered. The plaintiffs bad
sot been married more than a taw months when the acci-
dent occurred, and Mrs. Wright was enceinte at the tune.
The jury awarded 2001. damages.
