REPULSE OR TORMENTOR

will win, as there is not likely to be one absolutely
" dark" filly in the field except Fair Rosamond, and she is
in the same interest as Repulse. The Headley Stakes
being a " walk over," the only other event to be dealt
with is the Great Surrey Foal Stakes, which Lord Lyon
may mercifully leave to Strathconan.—l am, &c.,

THE GREAT METROPOLITAN HORSE SHOW.—The
arrangements for the opening of the Great Metropolit n
Horse Show on Saturday are nearly perfected. The show
will comprise over 300 specimens of the finest horses of
various breeds and sizes, of which 100 are hunters from
the most famous studs in the kingdom. In anti-
cipation of a visit from the Prince and Princess of Wales, ac-
companied in all probability by the Duke and Princess
Mary of Cambridge, Prince Teck, and other royal and
distinguished personages, a special gallery has been con-
structed, and a new feature at the WI is the erection of
spacious galleries round the grand central area or ring,
which will afford accommodation to hundreds of ladies,
who will thus have an opportunity of witnessing in com-
fort the steeplechasing and jumping of the hunters, and
performances of the trotters, &c. The judging for the
award of prizes is to commence on Saturday morning at
10 o'clock. The aggregate amount of the prizes to be
awarded reaches nearly 1,0001., the highest, for the best
thoroughbred in the show, being 100/., and the Agricul-
tural Hall cup of the value of 251. On Monday, for the
amusement of the holiday folks, in addition to the jump-
ing of the hunters, there are to be a series of trotting
matches for prizes in the arena 10 times round, which
has been marked as a measured mile.

THE LATE MR. JOSEPH PABESS.—A monument
with the following inscription has been placed over the
remains of the late Mr. Parkes at Hastings :—" This stone
is erected as a memorial of the useful and honourable life '
of Joseph Parkes, born at Warwick, Jan. 22, 1796, died in
London, August 11, 1E65. He was earnest, truthful, wise;
so he won the confidence of powerful men, and his name will
stand on the list of British worthies who promoted the
great measures for the reform of parliament, the reform of
the municipalities of England, the reform of charitable
foundations, the reform of the Court of Chancery. These
were his chief public services. How kindly and generous he
was in private life, how dear to many friends, how deep the
sorrow for his death, can only be known by thosewho Lave
caused this stone to be erected as a lasting memorial of their
own grief and his great worth."
THE STOPPAGE OP THE ENGLISH JOINT STOCK
Rum—At the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, an in-
quisition at the instance of the crown was opened against
the English Joint Stock Bank before Mr. Under-Sheriff
Bluebell, on Tuesday. The bank had canted on business
at London, Nottingham. and other places, and a collector
of the assessed, buid, and inoome taxes at Castle Ward had
deposited his collections at the Nottingham branch, and
when the bank stopped payment his deposits belonging to
the crown amounted to 821. 6s. 6d. The object of the
present proceeding was to recare the money. Evidence
was given that Mr. Parr, one of the collectors, had depo-
sited the money as stated, which belonged to her Majesty,
and the money Iwas deposited when payment was stopped
at the bank. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell explained tho
law on the subject to the jury—they were hastily got
together to protect the money for the crown ; and they
gave a verdict in accordance with the evidence adduced.
