THE WINDSOR GRAND MILITARY AND

- - --•
ANNUAL STEEPLE-CHASES.—Ftaar Day.
WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.—Amongst those
who were present were the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount
Premiering, the Earl of Strathmore, Lord B. Cecil, Sir Ed-
ward Poore, Colonel Micklethweite, Colonel Phillip, R.
Clifton, Esq., the Hon. G. Noel, Viscount Neville, Captain
William Peal, Major Ogilvie, Captain Bradley, Captain
Gambier, Captain Reshbrook, Captain Walpole, Captain
Weston, Sir H. Burgess, Captain Harford, W. H. Wells,
Esq., A. W. Tollemsebe, E.q., Captain Stanford, T. H.
Clifton, Esq., A. M. Alleyne, Esq., Major Mountjoy Martin,
Captain BWkeley, K. Sutton, Esq., Sir J. Brown, D. &tithe,
Esq., G. W. Walker, Esq., &c.
The line of country selected by the stewards (the
Marquis of Worcester Viscount Drumlanrig, Major
Mountjoy Martin, A. W. Tollemache, Esq., 2nd Life
Guards, and T. H. Clifton, Esq.) was as follows;—The
starts took place near the paling of the Great Park,
between Sheet-street and Spit road, with • long run to
the fiat fence (a stiff hedge on a bank, with a ditch
on the taking-off side), over a moderate fence into Bone-lane,
several loads of straw and manure bring laid down in the
lane for the security of the horses, sod to prevent the chance
of an accident. An open fence led out of the lane through •
garden into a gram field,'over • good fecce, into Mr. Thomp-
son's paddock, and another leading into the win ing field,
passing in front of the grand stand, over • flight of bushed
hurdles, which were removed for the run in. The next was
an easy fence ea to the first brook, 12 feet wide, with an
artifimal four feet fence on the taking-off side, into a large
field, in which was placed a flight of posts and rails, over •
couple of good leaps into another part of Bone-lane, where
similar precautions had been taken, by laying down straw to
prevent mishaps. The course then continued out of the
lane, through a small field, over two close fences into the
turning field, with another roper into the starting
field,' on to the second brook, of between ten and
eleven feet wide, with a four-feet fence on the
taking-off side, crossing Spital-road into Captain Bulkeley's
park, at Cleaver, where a circle of nearly half a mile
was made, over two fences; again crosaing the Spital-
road on to the " Big-brook" in Mi. Dyson's field, with fif-
teen feet of water to clear, and an artificial fence of about
four feet on the taking-off side. (At the steeple-chases of
1843 end 1844, this brook was upwards of eighteen het in
width. It was, however, considered advisable by the
stewards to have the water drawn eff this year to its present
width.] Upon clearing the " Big-brook" the course then
bore to the left, over the first fence taken at the start, where
the line was re-entered, and then there was an excellent
straight and long run home to the winning-post, the whole
distance being about a furlong short of four miles. For the
Sovereign Sweepstakes to-day the course was shortened by
about a mile. It will be the same to-morrow for the 5 sous.
and the 2 sou, sweepstakes. The line of country, the whole
of which was grass laud, was in excellent order for the sport.
The sport came off as under the first race being for

BORNEO.—The following is an extract from a pri-
vate letter from Capt. G. Rodney Mundy, her Majesty's ship
Iris, off Borneo River, September 21, 1848: " The Iris and
Hound sailed at daybreak for Kyounis, where we arrived
the following day. I had another providential escape from
grounding on one of the numerous shoals of this coast. The
ship was running (studding-sails en both sides,wind right aft)
Ave knob ; Hazard two miles astern ; regular soundings in
17 fathoms; suddenly a east of 10 ; 1 ordered the helm hard-
sport, and stepped into the gangway. The *ea was smooth,
and clear as crystal. Neat cut, an the ship was coming
round, seven, then Ave, cod, as we got all the
stud& ng-sails shaking, three and half fathom, jut
three feet to spare, and below, as I could plainly
see, the dark and peaked rocks grimly frowning. We got
nothiag leak and in Ave minutes drifted again into deep
water. I immediately signaled the Renard to alter her coone
and we beard no more of the danger. Of course I got its
position. It would have brou&ht up old Agincourt all
standing. On 31st August we left Rymanis, and as the strong
wind, and squally weather continued unabated, I was
obliged to work up to Ambong under reefed MIMI sad
double-reefed topsails, keeping the sea for two nights amongst
these shoals certainly the most nervous of any of my previous
I work ; and was oompletely done up with fatigue. Our
old friends at Anshan were delighted to see me again, of

whom I purchased, as usual, a week's bullocks for the
ship. After remaining here a week, we set sail for
this river (Borneo), into which I brought ths Iris in safely,
for the third time, on the 17th. The next city a deputation
u from the sultan to compliment me on my return,
as erg to offer me presents of bulloeas, stock, de,
whisk I declined accepting, and my return c .naplimenta to
hie highness, with the Information that I proposed paying
him a visit on the 19th. Early on that morn-
ing I desbetched all the boats, armed, under Lieu.
tenant Heath, taking with him the detachment of
marines, and gave him orders to moor the force in line of
battle in front of the sultan's new palace, and land the
marines on the platform commanding the entrance of the
hall of audience, and there wait m' arrival. I left the Iris
at 7 30 a.m., and pulling the 17 miles in three hours and a
half, found all ready for my reception. As I stepped on
shore I was received under a salute of 1.5 guns by Pangeran
Monmein, and the sultan met me at the threshold of thehall.
Here the marines were drawn up,direetly en filadir g the divan,
and as they presented arms I observed the old monarch
trembled in his slippers, for he evidently entertained some
alight suspicion that, as he well merited punishment, I
would act as his highness would certainly have done in my
place—namely, have kidnapped him by treachery. The
sultan appeared about sixty years of age, his countenance
denoting imbecility, not untsoctured with hypocrisy. Ile
has two thumbs on his right hand, is five feet tive inches
in height, thin, and meagre of limb. He was well dressed,
and his manner and deportment thorough-bred, and he was
treated with great respect by the numerous princes and
magnates who thronged the sone. After presenting my
officers, I told him that I had words for his private ear,
and mast speak with him alone; he led me immediately to
an ants-dumber commanding a view of the river He
that ordered a large wax taper to be light, and placed before
as, explaining that this light was witness of the purity of
Isis heart, and of the oath which he was ready to make of
bieglemiserill Inwards his Meter the Queen of England. I
them through my interpreter, the following in-
mlsaaßfp that Ehgland would insist upon his ministers
befog psi ass, favourable to Europeans, and to lawful
sesamoste, math in the observance of treaties, and active in
diseemaillthemelng piracy; that a grave outrage had been
committed by firing on the British flag, and that I could not
say who* redress would be considered irufficient. The sultan
assured me in reply, that he was ready to submit to
any temp which the admiral might dictate ; thit he
would deliver up four of the princes who had been
active in the late hostilities against us, and that
for the future his government should be strictly just. I
told him he was sure to receive justice from our government,
and that all depended upon his own conduct ; and I ended
by remarking that it would be much more agreeable for me
to protect his new palace and capital than to receive orders
to inflict upon it the same chastisement with which we had
tithed Tampamook, Pandissan, and Manbacoot. The sul-
tan again swore by the Prophet, in honour of whom he had
just fasted thirty days, that his heart was in the right
place; that he bad never forgotten the kindness of the
admiral to him last year; and that be had given positive
Orders to Hadji Simon, who commended the forts, not to
Ire on us, but that that chieftain would not obey him.
After a few more words, I took my. leave, and re,m-
harked ; and I will now only add, that it is my firm opinion
that he will hereafter submit to any demand. made by Mr
Begskv, Who is, indeed, de facto, sultan of the whole terri-
tory, from Point Api to Malloodoo, a coast of 700 mike.
Wlith an extraordinary position for an English gentleman
to le. placed in ; and how has he managed to receive the
hoeing of so vast a population ? By unremitting kindness
and Attention to the natives of every description, during a
six years's residence. What could be more extraordinary
the* the gathering of the rajahs of Kymanis, lost month,
just before we attacked Manbacoot ?—people who had never
seen him, and who had only heard from others of his bine•
totem* and good government at Sarawak. Ihes how
romantic his march against the sultan into the interior,
ending by the total submission of the mat ancient !dab°.
=den sovereign of the East, who, I forgot to mention, told
me that his family had supplied the last twenty-five reigning
princes, of whom his highness was exceedingly proud, and
which be hoped would be considered by our government as
a reason for supporting him on the throne."—Morning
Paper.

MARSIIALSZA AND PALACE COVRTS.—These courts,
which possess separate jurisdictions, are exempted from the
operation of the new County Courts Act, and actions may be
brought in the same, notwithstanding the new law is now in
force in the metropolitan districts. The Marthalsea Court
is a very ancient tribunal, and is mentioned as early as the
seventh century. It has jurisdiction in matters connected
with the Royal household, but proceedings are very seldom
adopted therein. The Palace Court was created by letters
patent in the reign of Charles 11., and therein four barristers
and six solicitors, all of whom parchase their places, practise.
This court has a jurisdiction of 12 miles from the Royal
Pd ace at Westmiuster every way,'• with the exception of
the city of London. Mr. Rewlitt, senior, the respected pro-
tissotary, has been connected with the two courts for half a

HADLEIGII, APRIL s.—We bad ■ small market to-day,
partly owing to its being a holiday. Wheat was the prin-
cipal grain ou offer; of that the supply was moderate, and
the sale dull, at nearly 2s. per qr. reduction in price. Barley
about as much in quantity as of other grain; we had barely
sufficient to warrant the certainty of any alteration.

continues dull, and but little business was done at this morn-
ing's market.
Panyox, APRIL 3. Only a poor show of Ecglish
Wheat, for which the sale was slack, at last week's rates.
Barrel Flour in fair request, at reduced rates. Beans very

Oats, 30e. Vii. per qr.
KIRKCALDY, APRIL 3.-Bupplice extremely abort of all

ALTONA, MARCE 30.—Wheat, on the spot, Ilialynibred
chimed at 89s. to 725. 13d. for 601 b.. to 81 It.. goad upland
qualities. Some 614 lbs. Swedish Barley has been
Ist 365. 9d. ; sad 58 lbs. Danish may be purchased at 38e. 3d.
Seas parcels of Swedish Rye, 561 lbs. to 67 lbs., have been

DUSBB SHEEP THERT.—There was a Tisch thinner at-
tendance than usual. Some attribute this to the changing
the day (in consequence of the government fast) from the
Wednesday to the Tuesday, this alteration nut being aunt-
ciently known; others allege that the fanners did not bring
in their stock, thinking, from the backward state of the grass,
that there would be little demand. The let of Langton
grass parks in the neighbourhood, which took place that
day, also drew a considerable number away from the mar-
ket. Although the market was dull, and prices rather de-
pressed, yet most of the few lots exhibited were sold.
Cheviot Lwes with Lamb were from 265. 6d. to 275. ; black-
faced do., from 20s. to 21s. ; half-bred Hogs. 245. ; three-
parts, 28s. One lot e half-bred hogs, in good condition,
ging to Mr. Currie, Kimmergham Mill, brought 225.

Dowtraw FAIL—The show of stock generally, both as re-
spects quality and quantity, was perhaps the worst we ever
recollect to have isotuessed on any previous occasion. Good
and useful Horses were very scarce, and for the few that
were offered extravagant prices were asked and obtained.
The same remark will apply to the Cattle fair. The supply
of fat Beasts, fit fur the butcher, was very meagre indeed ; and
owing to the scarcity of fodder, we understand there was not
a good demand fur the lean stock, a large portion of which
remained unsold at the close of the fair.
FA 11811•11 FoRTNIOUTLY 11S SHIRT, APPII. s.—There
was a good show of prime fat Beasts. The best Short-horns,
Herefords, and Devons made from 10s. 6d. to 111. per score;
some rather inferior might be purchased at 101. Fat Sheep
four-tooth, 51. per Cone ; two-tooth, 4s. Bd. to se. ; +eaters
and fat ewes, 4s. 4d. to 4s. Bd.; fat Lambs made tram 255.
to 35a. each) some very fine weighing 151ba. per quarter ;
fat Calves, 9s. 6d. to 10s. per score. kat Hogs, Is. per score ;
some at 10s. 6d. ; small fat Pip, 108.6 d. to Ile.

HOWDEN FAIN for the sale of Hones commences on the
15th of April. We understand that there is every likelihood
of a larger exportation of Horses to the Continent during the
ensuing summer than on any previous. It is expected that
there will be a great competition for the premiums, which
v ill be awaricd at the annual agricultural show on the 17th
April.
Kgrrsiazaio FA I D.—There was but a moderate supply of
stock, and prices were rather dull, both in Haut and Sheep,
owing to the severity of the weather.

MALSIESBURY FAIR.—A good ouppl of fat Bela*, which
averaged about 6d. per lb. ; Mutton, 7d. per lb. in the wool ;
shorn, 6d. Grazing Beasts very ingh. Cows and Calves
sold at high prices.

NoawlcleFs in.-The show of Scots and Short.horns was
not very numerous, but of good quality. There was Si large
attendance of buyers; still trade was slow, in conse-
quence of the scarcity of keep, and nothing like a
clearance could be secured. Fine Scots, 4s. to 4e. 6d. ;
short-horns, 3s. to 31. 6d. per stone of 16 lbs., when
fat. There was a large arrival of Dutch cattle, which
commanded but little attention. The show of beggets was
far greater than have been known for years, arli the quality
and condition very fine; in fact, no one could Calculate on
such a oho., and at 11 o'clock in the forenoon both buyers
and sellers were panic struck. Thousands anet.houmnds
were never penned ; and although there were a eat many
distant buyers, it was impossible anything like a clearance
could be made. The following were the prices poor and
small, 275. to 30s. ; middling, 325. to 355. ; big and fresh,
365. to 42e.; very prime, 48s. to 541. per heed. So great
were the numbers unsold, that it must be considered a very
bad fair for pukes and dealers. There was little doing in
Horses; good ones scarce and dear.
RUMMY Etta, Aran. 5.-The number of Sheep was
leas than usual, and very poor in quality. They sold at
reduced priors. Ewes and Lamb, made from 30s. to 40..
each ; last year's Sheep, 30s. to 355. ; barren Ewes, 30a. ;
lioggets and young Rama, 255. to 305.; a few fat barren
Ewes, made 365. to 38s. ; four and six-tooth Wethers, 455.
to 30s. Of Beasts the greater portion were in poor (*edi-
tion, yet prices were high for those sold. Yearlings and
two-year-old Bullocks, Steers. and Heifers, made from 71. to
121. each ; Heifers in calf 10/. to 121. ; Cow, with Calf by
aide, 121. to 181. Weaned Calves, 30a. to 40s. ; small suck-
lings, 61. to 12s. ; fat CalvesJ Mx to 355. A few well-fed
Steers made 16!. Pies sold at better prices than latterly.
The best Nag Horses sold at high prices, varying between
151. and 141. each; superior Cart Horses fetched 301. to 451.;
inferior, almost unsaleable; old Coacher's, those fit for hus-
bandry work, were sold at better terms, priors from 10!. to
181. ; small well-shaped Ponies, either for riding or driving,
51. to 81.; forest do., 21. to 41. So great a number of half-
famished animals seldom seen at any fair,
RUGISY FAIR.-This fair was gat, the supply of Beasts
not being near an average for the March fair ; ',hi at
the demand was dull, at prices lower than those realised last
month, Beasts making 6d., and Sheep, 51d. to 6d. A few
Tep fetched as much as 55e. per head, but they were re-
markably fresh and heavy. The Cheese fair was, as usual,
supplied with some excellent dairies; the quantity pitched
was larger than was expected, but prices were notluite so
high, the average being about 545. per cwt. (112 lbs There
were three our four instances in which 58s. to 3s. was
made ; but 52a. to 565. were the ruling prices. Most of the
dairies were sold before the close of the fair.

STOURDRILDOI FAIL—The Cattle and Sheep fair WY in-
considerable. The majority of the former were much ►etter
qualified for the milkmen then the butcher. A larger num-
ber and worse quality of horses; not that " good use" were
not to be met with, but you were certain to have an opportu-
nity of buying a roarer, • " blind un," or even a donkey,
should you have required animals of this description.
