THE HORSE ,SHOW.

THIRD PUBLIC DAY.
VISIT OF MN PAINCI AND PIINCINS OF WALLS.

Rumour has so often reported the presence, or
intended memos, of royalty in public, and royalty has so
often disappointed the expectations raised, that it we
merely state that the Prince and Prim:lean of Wales
intended to be at the horse show this after-
noon the statement would probably be received
with considerable doubt ; but there is now no
doubt that at 3.30 this afternoon the Prince of
Wales accompanied by the Princess will honour
the Horse Show with a visit. Special arrangements
have been made for their reception, which will
be managed in such • wa that in all probability
the general visitors will know nothing of their
presence until they appear in the royal box.
The royal carriages will enter the yard of the hall by Bar-
ford-street, and driving right into the ball itself will pro-
seed by a short path which has been raised for the occa-
sion to the level of the yard outside, op to the very door
leading to the box specially erected for his royal highness.
In compliment to a show which has been patronised
by his royal highness, and which is generally
of so high a character, General Sir Hope Grant,
G.C.11., has forwarded for the simple purpose
of exhibition the Arab pony, .• Pearl," which
is in his possession. This pony was purchased by him in 1858,
end ridden during the greater part of the Indian mutiny.
It was also at Pekin durin the campaign in China. The
g 1 has ridden him long distances as full gallop,
when in Oude. It was formerly the property of Colonel
Probyn, V.C. It is now believed to be 18 years of age,
and is not more than 13 hands high. The pony will be
found in • boa facing the ring at the western end of the
building.
A statement having been made that horse capers
play their tricks at the Hall, thu secretary (Yr. Sidney)
wishes it to be known that it is absolutely impossible
for gentlemen to be robbed of their horses if the salsa
are conducted in the only authorised manner, through
the secretary, because it is the rule of the office not
to allow any horse to leave the place until the
cheque in payment of the price has been received;
but gentlemen sometimes, in attempting to avoid paying
the commission charged on all sales effected in the build-
ing, carry on the negotiations privately, and then they
deservedly get " picked up" by the " topers."
The programme for the day states that on the cm-
=don of the visit of the Prince and Princess of
Wales the hones will bo brought out in the fol-
lowing order :—lst. Extra classes—Pain in har-
ness to draw up in the centre of ring and wait for
order to move. 2od. Classes 13 and 15—Prize horses.
3rd. Class 14—Prize roadster stallions, not more than
four at • time. 4th. The trotter Telegraph in American
waggon. sth. Prize park backs and other riding
horses in all Glasses not more than 10 at a time. tith.
Hunters, classes 1,2, 3, and 4, not more than 10 at a
time. ith. Hunters, 10 at a time, for jumping the
hurdles. Bth. Horses and ponies in single harness.
Sir Hope Grant's pony will be brought into the ring
upon the arrival of the Prince and Princess.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE THROUGH LOSSES ON THE
TURF.

An inquiry was held last evening by Mr. W.
Payne, coroner, at the George Tavern, Tower-street, Wa-
terloo-road, respecting the death of Mr. Thomas White-
head, aged tO years.
The deceased was a cutter at a clothier's in Cloth-fair,
and his son deposed that he was aware of the fact that his
father was given to betting, but as he was a very " close
man" be never told whether he had won or lost.

Mr. T. Saopter said that on last Friday night he saw
the deceased on the top of an omnibus which was return-
ing from the Oaks. He was then in a very desponding
state.

Mr. Jones Milet, of the European Coffee-house, in the
Westminster-road, said that on Friday night, at 11 o'clock,
the deceased came to his house and took a bed. He was
so sad that he could hardly speak. He wee sober,
and after drinking a cap of coffee, he said that
a friend of his bad told him to back Pace, one of the
horses that was to run for the Derby. He bad done so and
lost. Witness spoke to him upon the evil of betting,
and said that he bad once been a sufferer by
it. He then went to bed in the top room. Before be did
so he smoked a pipe. Witness heard him place
the wash-hand stand and a chair against the
door. The whole of his conversation had been
upon racing. O Saturday he did not come down-
stairs., and witness then forced open the door. lie found
the deceased seated on the floor at the end of the bed-
stead. He had tied a rope round his neck and then
fastened it to the pole of the bedstead. He bad then sat
down upon the door and pressed his body forward. Ho
was quite dead.
Dr. Donahoe said that the deceased bad died from
suffocation caused by strangulation.
Several papers relating to betting std racing were found
upon the deceased. He had lost money by the Derby and
Oaks.

_
The Coroner basin! summed up, the jury returned n Ter.
diet of " Temporary Insanity."

A late wealthy physician, of Cincinnati, Dr.
Potter, curled his dislike of tobseeo to such an extreme
that he attached to the bequest of th, greater pert of his
property the condition that the legatee should always
abstain from the habit of using it in any shape--s habit
that, be says, " dwarfs the intellect of every man who
adopts it." Should this heir—who has hitherto giving up
smoking—return to it, the property is to go to the other
heirs.

The Earl of Shaftesbury yesterday laid the founda-
tion-stone of a new church at Bournemouth, which is to

ritualistic practices which are carried out at the parish
chinch of St. Peter's in that town. The Evangelists of
the town and those who occasionally visit it have sub-
scribed a considerable sum of moue to accomplish their
object. The new church will be to the Holy
Trinity, and the Rev. Philip Frank Eliot, M.A., of Tn-
city College, Oxford, late curate of Walece, Bath, will
be its first hicument.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

turn O'CLOCK.
In the Stock Exchange to-day, tho transactions
I show a preponderance of sales, and the tone of the
markets generally is dull. There is an entire
absence of unfavourable features, but as might
have been expected, the recent great rise in most
securities has led to realisations. The English funds,
in which the dealers are preparing for the monthly
settlement to-morrow, are without alteration
for money, but have declined f per cent.
for the account. The reduction in railway
shares amounts to A to 0, the chief
movement being in Brighton. Foreign Bonds have
a somewhat drooping tendency, but exhibit
no noteworthy movement. Some of the Indian
stocks are better. Exchequer Bills also meet with
inquiry in consequence of the inability of bankei s
to employ the whole of their toads in the dis-
count of commercial bills. American securities
are offered.

The applications fur discount are upon a very
limited scale, and transactions are reported in the
best paper at 1# per cent., or # below the Bank
»tin imunt.

Yorkshire, 129 to 4 ; York and North Mid-
land, 94 to 4 ; Berwick, 103 to ; and North
British, 331 to 34.
Foreign stocks are rather dull, but prices are
without change of importance. Italian of 1861
and the Orel Vitebsk Railway Loan have declined
1 per cent., viz., to 52# to # and 792 to 80, respec-
tively ; but Spanish of 1867 are 4 better, at 374 to
; Brazilian of 1865, 774 to 3 ; Chilian of 1867,
95:1 to 96 ; Egyptian of 1864, 80 to 82 ; Mexican

At Calcutta, on the same day, the exchange was
at Is. 111 d. to Is. 11 5-11. id., being also lower.
There can consequently be no prospect of a rivival
of the demand for silver for the East.

It is understood that proceedings in bankruptcy
have been commenced against Mr. J anies M 'Henry,

Railway, who is now iu Paris. His liabilities on

cept a composition of 6s. Bd. in the pound, payable
in two years. The rest, however, representing
400,000 k, refuse to agree to this pr •pal, and one

almost entirely of securities of the railway.

COMMERCIAL AND HAREEM

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.).

No improvement was noticeable in the genera ch...-..cter
of the grain trade today. In all kinds of grain the
transactions were neither numerous nor important, add
the tendency of prices was towards further depression.
Scarcely any English wheat was on sale ; neverthelera,
millers evinced very little disposition to purchase, and for
the few samples disposed of barely Monday's rinhction
was willingly accepted.
With foreign wheat the usarket was well supplied. '"he
trade was dull in the extreme, at the late decline.
Floating cargoes of wheat, although offered on lower
term,, commanded Lut little attention. For other kinds
of produce afloat the inydry was limited.
The show of foioign barley was only moder.ste, of
English trifling. The demand was inactive, at Morelay'e
decline.
Malt moved off slowly, at late rates.
Fine oats were tolerably tirui in value ; but inferior
cora was offered for less money.
Beans and peas changed bands uietly, rat late rate:.
The flour trade was .ready, at .boat Monday's cur: eery.
Seeds and cakes sold .mietly.
