I me del ,y at the poet was oceanioned by the fractiousness.
of Little Treasure, whose bad example was followed by
sev,;.d others. Eventually the flag fell to n good start.
and the first to show in advance were Water Cure and
Porter's Knot on the upper ground, followed by Little
Treasure and Ganymede, The Priest, Violent, and King
Victor in the centre, being slightly iu adveuce of Saocha-
rometer. while of the left division Lord Ronald and Mont.
goubert, were prominent. Within the cords all were out
of the race except Raccharometer, who came away and
won in a canter by two lengths. t mleeian, who ran
through the beaten horses, was at a similar distance in
advance of Little Treasure, Violent being fourth, Mont.
goobers fifth, The Priest sixth, Lord Ronald seventh,
fiilenus eighth, and Lady Tredegar next; the others, widely
scattered, were whipped in by Repulse. Valorous and Leap
Year were beaten off.

BETTING AT MIDNIGHT.

Although the list of quotations is naturally a Parge one,
and would convey the idea of a great amount of business
hr wing been done, the actual investments were compara-
tively small, considering this waa the very eve of the
Cambridgeshire. The chief feature of the evening was the
support awarded to Harry Brailsford, who sprang from %
hundred to one laid on Saturday to one-third those odds
taken freely on the heath, and the demonstration in his
favour was continued till 100 to li was the highest offer in
front of the rooms. Immediately the members assembled
that price was freely taken to hundred. and
at the close 100 to 7 was barely obtainable.
Lananst was hardly so firm as before dinner, 11 to 2 being
offered after 3to 1 had been taken. 8 to I was at first
taken about Honesty, but before midnight 9 to 1 could
hare been had. Blinkhoolie and his stable companion,
Knight of the Garter, were both backed at their respective
prices, while Julius at 15 to 1, and Actwa at 100 to 7 were
in good demand. There was a disposition to support Tor-
mentor and La Dauphine at 40 to 1, but 1000 to 30 was
the highv,t offer. Wolsey of this division was decidedly
the most fancied, as 1000 to 50 was freely taken about Into.
The extreme outsiders were totally unrepresented. The
place betting will be understood by a glance at the list of
quotations:

2801b5.). The wheat trade had been in calm, buyers
not bemg inclized to operate under sellers' high pre-
tensions, and a few sales were made at rather less money.
Numerous samples were offering from the "centre," held
at 47f. to 49f. per 120 kilos. (70s. Sd. to 735. titi. per qr.);
the best white Mayenne was, however, not procurable
under 111. (765. M.), mixed at 50f. (755. 2d.) lied wheat
was not offered cheaper by farmers : Polish was quoted
47f. to 48f. (70.. Bd. to 72a. 2d.) ; Hungarian, 44f. 50e. to
45f. 50e. (66e. 10d. to 68e. 6d.) ; Danube, 44f. (665. Id.).
Rye, being very scarce, had risen to 301. 10.. per 115 kilos.
(445. Gd. per qr.). Very little barley was for sale, though
the crop was considered fair ; new varied from 24f. to
25f. 50c. per 100 kilos. (345. 6d. to 38s. 6d. per qe.) Oats
were as last quoted-viz., Mf. to 27f. per 100 kilos.
(Ma. Gd. to 345. per qr.). Cloverseed was in calm, and
offered 3 franca cheaper, the top price of Southern red
being 11221. per bale. Trefoil to 40f. per 100 kilos.
Cloverseed at Nantes was quoted 105 f. to 1151. per bale.
The wheat trade in thecountry generally showed an upward
movement of from 50 centimes to 2f. per hect. (say s. 2d.
to 4a. Sel. per. qr.); the Latter advance was, however, only
quoted at Charley ille, where the top price was only 271.
per beet. (61s. per qr.) An east wind had brought nu-
merous arrivals at Marseilles, but the market was both
firm and active notwithstanding. The markets in Belgium
varied. At Courtrai there were signs of weakness, and
scarcely any sales of wheat were made. Wheat was
quoted 76a. Bd. to 786. 4d., rye, 45a. per qr. Louvain had
a full market, but wheat was about Gd. per qr. dearer. Rye
was leas firmly held. Oats rather dearer. Barley unaltered.
More calm obtained at Braman. Native wheat 725. to
75e. 7d., Baltic 75e. 7d. to 77.. 5d., rye 495. per qr. The
market at Maestricht being still poorly supplied,
a further rise of Is. was noted on wheat, 2s. on rye,
end Gd. per qr. on oats. Wheat was officially quoted
7.n., rye 505., barley to 46a, new oats to 29e. per qr.
With better supplies of white Zealand wheat at Rotter-
dam prices had declined 3s. 6d. to ss. per qr., the price
for the best new and old being 79a. Rye was down 2a. to
3s. barley Is., peas ls. 3d. to la. 6d. ; but oats were 68.
to Is. higher. Wheat on the spot had risen at Hamburg
fully Is. per qr., 71s. being paid ; but for November deli.
very there was a decline of nearly as much, the quotation
being 675. 9d., Mecklenburg 72a., for November 695.,
wheat at Rostock, 65e. Petersburg rye had greatly risen,
435. being paid, native 545. per qr. At Cologne wheat was
rather easier, 71a. being quoted on the spot ; for November
delivery there was a decline of Is. Gd. per qr., the price
being 63a, for March 635. 3d. per qr. ; rye on
the spot was 9d. per qr. cheaper, yet 50s. bad been
paid ; for November and March 475. was quoted. The
weather at Dentin has been changeable and cold, with arri-
vals small and business unimportant, with a decline of le.
per qr. on wheat of all qualities. Afterwards a rally took
place, and prices about recovered. Rye was extremely
scarce, and had undergone extreme fluctuations. Barley
and peas were unaltered. The week's sales comprised
4,500 qrs. wheat, from 50s. to 75a.; rye 2,000 qn., at 50a.
to 565. The late heavy contracts meeting with great pro.
spective difficulties business at Trieste has lately been on
• diminished scale, though still at high rates. Spring
corn and maize had increased in value as well as wheat,
though native wheat at Genoa was rising. Some sales of
foreign were made for France as follows:-Soft Chihli at
50a., Marianopoli at 50s. iid., also Lombardy at 565. 9d.;
maize, 36a6d. per qr. At Valparaiso no wheat shipmentshad
recently been made for export, and prices haddeclined to 30(
n, per fanega of 1551b5. Barley has also receded to 13 rs.
per fanega of 1551b5. In flour some exports had taken place.
Quotations from can Francisco, per telegram, quote wheat
at 75a. per qr. cost and freight for Great Britain. Orders
from Great Britain, by submarine telegraph, bad given
animation to the New York market, though prices gene-
rally were below current rates, and so but few transactions
in wheat and flour were passing for export. The rise on
flour was 600. per barrel. Extra state 325. 611., Ohio Ms.
Gd. A rise in wheat was noted of la. to Is. 6d. per qr.
Winter red was scarcely to be had ; fine spring was also
very scarce, and brought high rates : red 615., winter 765.,
white 755. There was hardly any rye on the spot ; about
2,600 qrs. were lately bought for Hambro', at 26a. Since then
large sales have been made for Bremen, Holland, and Bel-
gium, and prices had been forced up to 40s. 6d. Oats
also, of which there was a good and fine crop, were in de-
mand for France, at 18s. Gd. per qr. Maize was rather
dearer.

THE MINERS' LOCK-OCT IN SOUTH DERBY-
mittae.—The end of this struggle between muter. and
men appears as distant as ever, and trade is in a fearful
state. Poverty is the lot of many families, and most or
all of the shopkeeper' have now to depend upon their
stock and small income rather than a brisk and prosperous
trade as formerly. The number of cues in the district
county court, which is held at Burton, was upwards of
600 last .r.onth, the greater pert of which were from the
three parishes which this dispute particularly affects. The
poor pittance of the " victims" in comparison to what
they earned when at work shows a falling off of at least
several hundred pounds in the week for the purchase of
things necessary for the comfort and sustenance of
the population. Amid all these difficulties the
men appear determined to brave the conflict longer ; and
are cheered by the promises of support from unionists in
different parts of the kingdom. Some 2007. were sent
last week by the associated trades and colliers of South
Yorkshire ; and weekly there comes an average supply of
about 280/. to sustain the unfortunate unionists in this
district. The masters, in the face of loss of trade, appear
determined to conquer, if possible, and last week
introduced a uew feature into the battle. Mr. Thomas
Evans, of Manchester, the advocate of free labour, has
given two lectures at Greeley, at the request of Mr. Binns,
of Clay Cross, and the local coal proprietors ; and
discussed the question upon the platform with Messrs.
W. Brown, of Hunslet, and Dixon, of West Yorkshire.
The first evening Mr. Evans spoke upon trades' unions
generally, and contended that they were a great hindrance
to the spread of knowledge and the prosperity of the
people. The following night he dilated upon strikes and
lock-outs, showing that they never bad, or would, do any
good for either capitalist, or working classes. The discus-
sions lasted until a late hour each evening, and the union-
iats concluded with the idea that they had won the laurels.
To follow up the example of the masters in public discus.
sior. upon the question, the miners introduced their old
friend Mr. John Holmes, of Methley, a staunch advocate of
trade unions. Mr. Holmes was greeted with crowded au-
diences: and on Thursday and Friday evening last lectured
upon Capital and Labour " and "Trade Unions: their
Function Use, and Abume." No one appeared on the plat-
form to dispute the statements of Mr. Holmes, and the
unionists are decidedly of opinion that they have hitherto
had the best of the conflict —Binning/4am Post.
_

E.uir TRAVELLTNO.—The Pullman Sleeping Car
Company have just placed on the Great Western Railway I
of Canada a new passenger car, which they call an
" Hotel Car." Like all American passenger cars it is open
at each end, with a platform in front of the doors ; its
length to the end of the platform is 7 feet, 4 inches,
width 10 feet' 6 inches, with a ceiling 10 feet f inches
from the floor. At each corner of the car, making four in
all, is a private bedroom or state cabin, containing a sofa,
two arm-chairs, and a centre table. Theso are con-
vertible into comfortable beds, with mattresses, pil-
low, sheets, Ac. The rooms are adorned with
mirrors of large dimensions. The doors and fittings are
of black walnut ; and carved and gilt ornaments of bronze
are introduced. Each of these rooms will contain six pas-
sengers. Then follows a small room, fitted as a kitchen
and steward's pantry. Here meals will be cooked, coffee
or tea prepared, and drinks dispensed. A bell with wires
communicating all over the car—or shall we say the edifice
—will summon the steward. A central passage runs down
the length of the car from door to door, and on each side
are three other compartments. each intended for fear pas-
sengers. Berths are made up exactly as on board a
steamer, the bed appurtenances being conveniently stowed
away during the daytime. The partitions dividing the com-
partments being moveable, when used as a drawing-room rise
no higher than the backs of the seats, which are eovered with
rich Genoa velvet ; the floor is carpeted, the ceiling is
painted in fresco, and the walls richly carved and gilt. A
stove heats the interior, with provide r for ventilation,
and a washing room and other conveniences complete the
internal arrangements. The exterior ill painted a rich lake
crimson, relieved with gold ornaments. On two oval
panels on either side are copies in bronze of Thorwaldsen's
figures of Sight and Hearing. The car is placed on two
trucks of eight wheels each, with lateral motion springs.
It is intended to run between Chicago and Albany, over
the Great Western of Canada.—Raibray Nero.

THE CLADDAOHMEN AGAIN.—We were under the
impression that the few fishermen now remaining in the
Cloddagh had become quiet and peaceable subjects, re-
specting the law, and disposed to allow every man to
fish the hay as be might feel inclined. It would ap-
pear, however, that they are only disposed to keep
quiet when a superior force is at hand, or when they
have not the ability to strike. The same lawless spirit
seems to keep possession of them as of old, and a
dogged determination to nurse old prejudices and
superstitious notions still reigns amongst them, if we
may judge from a recent unlawful act. A few weeks
ago the gunboat Griper, stationed here, was ordered to
Clifden, and to cruise along the coast, leaving the revenue
cutter King George, Captain Leggat, to protect the bay.
The cutter had to go to Southampton on orders, and no
sooner was the bay left defenceless than the foolish Clads
daghmen. or some evil-disposed k)erson, posted up two
notices calling on the people to rise and to drive the
trawlers from the bay. These notices must have received
the mutation of the Claddaghmen, however, as one of the
bands employed in the trawlers was attacked at the time,
and had it not been that the police were made aware of the
matter, and hastened to the place, serious work might
have ensued.—Gala-ay Erprrste.
CHAMBER% OF AGRICULTURE AND THE MALT-TAX.
—lt would appear from a circular which has been issued
from the Central Chamber of Agriculture to the various
local chambers throughout the country that, thoueh Mr.
Read has intimated that he has ceased to hope for a repeal
of the malt-tax under existing circumstances, the subject
has not been given up by the body chiefly interested. The
circular reminds local secretaries that " the question of the
malt-tax will come under the consideration of the Central
Chamber of Agriculture this winter, and in order that the
voice of the chambers may he beard on the occasion, it is
desirable that the local chambers should entertain the
subject at an early date." The circular ad.ts, " a select
committee of the House of Commons is taking evidence on
the question, and will continue the examination of wit-
neut., next session." A meeting of members of the Cen-
tral Chamber will be held on the sth proximo. to con-
sider what steps should be taken with regard to the tar.

AGRICULTURAL PRusPECT..

The week opened with a showery day, thick and
windy, blowing from the N.W. Monday was finer, sunny
at times, and with the temperature higher. Wind &E, to
the S. Autumnal tillage has been much assisted by the
falls of rain, which occurred mostly in the night, so that
the work could proceed during the day, and the light soils
went remarkably well. In the early part of Tuesday rant
fell, but the day was fair throughout. Our advice, were
as tinder : From the West Riding of Yorashire--•` The
weather, on the whole, has been favourable for seed thee,
which will no doubt proceed fairly." From the Last hiding—
" Weather continues favourable for out-door labour. and
farmers are now about commencing autumn.
sowing." From laacashire—" The weather since Tuea.Lty
last has been cold, with frequent showers, but on the whole
not unfavourable for for the agricultural operations of the
season." From Suffolk—" Since our last the frosty
atmosphere has changed to a milder temperature, accom-
panied with several showers of rain, and this has enabled
our farmers to prepare the land for the wheat crop."
From Northumberland—" The weather has been dull
and damp, wind varying from W. to S.W. and E." From
Norfolk—" The weather has been variable during the
past week, and a good deal of rain has fallen, which has
proved beneficial to all field work." Much rain had fallen
during the previous night, but the day was fine and warm
on Wednesday. Field work progressed favourably, and all
fine qualities of wheat suitable for seed have been in great
request. SOlllO very select Chidham grown in Surrey was re.
to have been sold at 100 a. per qr., a price (amen
rave not draunt of for a long time past ; but, no doubt, this
will be paid cheerfully in order to obtai a quality that will
produce a superior plant. Other sorts also commanded
high rates, Nursery taking the lead. At Edinburgh prime
white Lothian brought great vrioes, serving to run up the
dva7:rtertoa7lilet 6:411.r qi3urlarrie"ce. terewalas uamPenre. sFunri7
Suffolk—" The weather during the past . week has been
mild, and having had a good fall of rain farmers farmers are
able to make good progress with field work.' From War.
wickshire—" With the exception of yesterday, weather
during the week has continued showery and foggy."
Friday we, a fine sunny day, after having had rain the
previous night. Our advice, were as follows:—From the
West Riding of Yorkshire—" We may expect markets fuller
as seed-time gets finished and the farmer' attention eau be
given to thrashing. Weather is still fine and mild." From
Lincolnshire it was remarked—" Rain has fallen plenti-
fully at last, and now wheat sowing will be pushed on as
much as possible. Altogether the process is behind-hand,
owing to the dry weather ; and notwithstanding advices of
clerical and other amateur farmers about thin sowing, the
usual system is yet ado dof sowing from eight to twelve
pecks per acre. Thrashing wheat is yet vigorously going
on, so much so that the weekly returns now exoeed those
of last year; but this pace cannot be maintained, or, if so,
a fine day, after a wet ht ; and this has
rnextiTaring and summer will find a
nceat deficiency."
y was
been the same throughout nearly the who e week. On the
whole, outdoor work has proceeded both favourably and
extensively.—Mark-laae Express.

TALLOW.—MONDAY Evextso.—The tallow market has
been quiet today and prices as compared with the best
rates of last week have ruled 3d. to 6d. per cwt. In favour
of buyers. The shipments from Bt. Petersburg are pro-
gressing steadily; up to Saturday evening 71,200 were
shipped off. The quotation is 45i silver roubles; exchange
334.1. Very little business of a speculative character has
passed todsy, and our closing pnoes are : Spot, 455. ; all
the year,44a. 6d. to 44a. 91; December, 444. 9d. to 455. ;

Smith and Charles).

COTTON.—Lirmtroor., OCT. 21.—The market opened
with • good inquiry at full rates, but with more cotton
offering sod less disposition to operate, the tone is not lo
buoyant at the close, though prices show no quotable
change from Saturday. The sales are 15,000 bales, of
which 5,000 are on speculation and for export. 4,000
American, 7d. to 11d. ;600 Pernani, &c., 8.11 to 100
Manuthain, 80. to 9d. ; 300 Maoeio and Bahia, &I. to
81d.; 100 Rio, 71d. to Bd. ; 800 Egyptian, Cid. to 12;1 ;

Madras, 6d. ; .13engal, Saluda, ice., 43d. to :%d. ; 100
Pero, &0., 841 to 80.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Brunronn, Oc-r. 21. —There
has been another flat market to-day. Buyers of wool are
indisposed to operate beyond their immediate require-
ments, which are necessarily small. Prices have not
receded any further since last week. There has been a
little more doing in worsted yarns suitable for the home
trade, and some of the export merchants hare been making
very low offers for some aorta of lustre yarns. Consider-
able irregularity exists in prices. The warlike news from
Italy has really put an end to business in the piece trade.
Neither home, foreign, nor American merchants are ordering.

HOPS. BOROUGH, Ocr. 21. A good demand for
all descriptions at an adranoe of fully 10s. per cwt. on last
Monday's prices.
