market onthestrengthof one of themostertraordinary "trials"ever
known. So confident are the individuals immediately concerned
In this peefonsann (which was gone through at Newmarket on
Friday, while the racing was at its height) that they de it
good enough to stake the Mint, or Bank o England upon ; or,
to
other words that it is only putting the money dowa to pick it
up again, with very handsome interest. Be that as It may one
thing it mthin, and that is, that in well-Informed sickeDelght
is confidently looked upon as the "only hone in it," an so
freely have his partisans laid out their money that they
have at last been content to take as little as 2to 1. we may
now pats on to Use Two Thousand, for which Lord Lyon holds
undisputed sway. For &time It looked to-day as It no one would
venture to make even an offer, but at last a large speculator
banned 000 to 500, which was at once pencilled, the taker of
odds wishing to go on on the same terms. There was no dispo-
sition, however, on the part of layers to further accommodate
him, and when he offered to name the winner "for moths&
monkey," a blank silence prevailed. Not for years
has there been such a gap known between the OM
and second favourites as now, for although Janitor was wok
the medium of a single outlay of £26 at 10 to 1, the bucker al
Mr. Sutton's horse was loud in his offers of 2,00 to MO "bar
one. Lord Gisagow's slight moons at Newmarket brooCtetet
young Melbourne colt into the market, 11 to 1 being the
offer. Betting on the Derby was all but a dead letter, for
although Rustic had unmistakeably the call of "the Lyon,"
nothing was done on either. Ceylon was quits out of favour at
M to 1. Six " monkeys" were laid against Lard Glasgow

PARIS, Ann. 8.
The following are the remits of the races which took place
here to-day :—The Prtx de Boulogne wee won by MeUmelo ; the
Prix de Longehamps by Victorieuse, Stilton second ; and the
3Mode la Seine by Sultan, Tourmalet second, Mandarin not
. OlsElatenr won the Prix de limperatrice by 15 length;
1. ee being second, and Vertugadin last. The Prix des ACACIA/
was won by TLeurette, none second.

We read in the letter of " Argue" in the Post

—" The hearing of the Grimahaw came excited some in-
terest, and ' The ProdiTar may think himself lucky in
having to appear in mufti for only • month. But if he
. .

had nos beau

to mercy by the Marquis of

Hastings, his suspension would have been of much longer
duration. During the court of inquiry much amusement
was created by the young culprit stating that when he re-
turned into the taddock with Prodigal he handed him
over to his valet. ' You mean Lord Hastings's
valet,' remarked the admiral. ' No, sir,' re- ,
joined Jemmy, ' I mean my own valet' Upon
hearing which the admiral fairly lost the use of his respi-
ratory organs, and could not have been more surprised even
if Argus had stood before him ; for, although he had
heard a good de►l of the manners and customs of light
weights, he was hardly prepared for such an avowal. Al-
though I am not what is called a special commissioner,
yet I felt bound to make myself acquainted with the rate
of wages of a jockey's valet, and I am sawed that Barker,
who filla that responsible and confidential appointment
about the person of Jemmy,' receives a salary of 1001. per
annum and travellingexpenses—a remuneration far superior
to that of many a country curate."

Tun Carus PLsouz. —An analysis of the
last cattle plague returns shows that of the counties
in England, Wales, and Scotland, 72 counties remain free
from the disease. In 44 counties no cases have been re-
ported as occurring during the week. Twenty-two counties
andtheMetropolitan Police district show an increase of 502
cases. Eighteen counties show a decrease of 1,250 oases
showing a total decrease during the week ending March
31, 1866, in England, Wales, and Scotland, of 748 eases
as compered with the week ending March 24, 1866.
Nineteen inspectors who reported cases last week have
not reported in time for this return viz., for the county
of Chester, 1 ; Lancaster, 3 ; Lincoln, 4 ; Northampton,
1 ; Stafford, 2 ; East Riding of York, 1 ; Metropolitan
Police district, 3 ; sad Scotland 4. These inspectors re-
turned 290 cases last week.

CATTLE AiIarHANCE. —A bill to give further fa-
cilities for the establishment of societies for the insurance
of cattle and other animals has been introduced into the
House of Commons by Mr. Baring and Sir George Grey.
The act provides that " 1. Notwithstanding anything in
the act passed in the session holden in the eighteenth and
nineteenth years of her Majesty, chapter sixty-three,
intituled An Act to consolidate and amend the law
relating to friendly societies,' a society may be estab-
limbed under the provisions of the said sot for the assu-
rance to any amount against loss by death of neat
cattle, sheep, lambs, swine, and horses, from disease
or otherwise; and neither the provisions in section
9 of the said act, that no member shall subscribe
or contract for a sum payable on death or any other con-
tingency exceeding 2001., nor section 38 of the said act,
shall apply to any such society so established, or which
may hereafter be so established for such purpose. 2. All
contributions, premiums, and other payments payable
any member of any such society, under the rules tWeof,
in respect of any assurance effected by him, shall be con-
sidered as a debt due by him to the eoeiety, and shall be
recoverable as such in the county court of the district
within which the usual or principal place of business of the
society is situate, and in Ireland before the &militant bar-
rister within his district 3. This act may be cited for all
purposes as the Cattle Assurance Act, 188&"
