To refer to the ridiculous and exaggerated reports
which were to the last moment circulated respecting the
two horses would be merely to renew old feelings of ill-
will and again stir up animosities which, I trust, will be
soon forgotten. It is dae to Mr. Merry and Mr. Howard
to state that they were totally uninfluenced by the " dis-
union" in the riag, and were merely passive and neutral
spectators of the extraordinarygame of see-saw and cross
purposes which the public played with their horses.
Kingstown has been advanced to a prominent position
in the Derby betting. For the Two Thousand he made
the running to the top of the Bushes-hill, and his owner
was not a little pleased with the manner in which he ac-
complished his work. Kingstown will, in my opinion,
be certain to attain one of the leading positions in the
race for the Derby. His running, too, contributed nut
a little to the sudden rise of Nabob in the betting on
the Chester Cup. Nabob, it will be remembered, gave
him, at Salisbury, upwards of two stone and a half for
the three years' difference in their ages, and beat him
easily by a length.
People saw De Clare at Newmarket, and were evi-
dently not .best pleased with his appearance. • He is a
sluggish, clumsy goer, and evidently requires much
riding. He looked, too, very fat, and it will re-
quire all John Scott's skill to prepare him properly by
the Derby Day. I confess I was not captivated"
by Do Clare. Should Habena keep well, the Oaks is of.
a verity "all over but shouting." •
Speculation on the Chester Cup was spiritedly par-
sued throughout the week, and the changes which were
made in it will doubtless be extended this afernoon.
Arthur Wellesley, Early Bird, Nabob, Scythian, and
Neville now occupy the front ranks in the betting.

My remembrance can scarcely parallel a more exciting
and interesting encounter than that witnessed ,fur the
Two Thousand Guineas Stakes. The mighty interests
which the race involed, and the feelings of and
prejudice which certain circumstances connected with it
created, were calculated to deepen and sustain the, ex-
citement which prevailed. Never did two opposing
factions display more pertinacious hostility than did the
respective partisans of St. Hubert and Lord of the Isles;
They fought under distinct banners, and to the last their
ardour never cooled or their spirits flagged. Not-
withstanding the assurances made to the 'contrary,
it is unquestionable that a large and influential party
• deemed Lord of the Isles a " dead-un," and acting on
this conviction they launched into What seemed wild and
unwarrantable speculations, and took greater liberties
with the horse than was justified 14 " legitimate" bet-
ting. Still the pecuniary Strength of the ring, is some-
what satisfactorily established by the fact of the few
complaints, which have been made as to the nature of
the settling. Still, until after the final squaring of ac-
counts this afternoon, it will be impossible to write with
accuracy on this subject.
Through good and through evil report I was a
staunch adherent, to St. Hubert, and his performan.ce
neither disgraced my judgment, nor caused me to regret
my "fondness." Were the race to be rum over again
next week, and were Wells to ride to different orders
and display more patience than he did on Tuesday last,
I should` expect to see St. Hubert " turn the tables" on
Lord of the, Isles. His chance for the Derby is cer-
tainly not 'yet destroyed. Still I have no wish
to underrate Lord of the Isles, whose running
showed that his trainer's opinion bf his ability was sound,
and was not regulated by " boastings and bounCe.7
William Day has reason to rejoice iu the triumph of his
horse, for it removed suspicions and.aspersions which
had been hastily and unwarrantably heaped upon his
character. I cordially acknowledge the care and ability
with which the horse's preparation had been conducted,
and the honesty of purpose which actuated all parties
connected with him,

NAVAL A,ND MILITARY INTELLICIENCE.

The roadstead of, Portsmouth harbour again presents
almost as imposing an appearance as it did before the
departure of the yan of the Baltic fleet. The Falcon,
14, Commander Pullen, returned from the westward
yesterday, and the Cornwallis, 60, arrived from Devon-
port, making at Spithead the following force :—Nep-
tune, 120 ; St. George, 120 ; Calcutta, 84 ; and Power-
ful, 84—sailing ; Hawke, 60 ; Cornwallis, GO ; Pew•
broke, 60 ; Hastings, 60 ; Russell,- 60 ; Cruiser, 17 ;
Falcon, 14; Centaur, 6; and Rosa(nond. 6.
The Retribution, 23, Captain Fisher, flag of Rear-
Admiral Baymes; third i❑ command of the Baltic fleet,
will be ready td :join on Monday. and the Malacca,
17, Captain Fargul)ar, will be refitted and undocked
on the same (lay, These comprise all the ships fit-
' ting at Poitsinouth for the war service. Ail the
newly-converted 'are now at Spithead ; but the whole
of the force eutinwated is helplessly short-banded. How-
ever, this is not the fault of their captains, for the
blocksbips might have been twice inamned by this time,
had they been permitted
,to receive volunteers, which
the Lords`of the Admiralty have not allowed them to
do. Such partial crews as they have on their hooks,
therefore, are the "sweepings" of Tower-hill and such
resorts, and exhibited a woful picture of inanition from
sea sickness on their short voyages from the Nore or
Plymouth to Spithead, and this, too, is shared by the
raw levies of Marine with whom they have for the
most Part been supplied. Upwards of 2,000 men are
needed to man the ships above enumerated.

Mr. Murdoch, chief engineer of the Ist class, lately
serving in the Sanspareil, 70, is appointed resident
engineer afloat, at Constantinople, with an addition to
his pay of 551. lie. per annum. Mr. Robert Jago, chief
engineer of,the Ist class, is appointed to the Sanspariel,
vice Murdoch.

The General Screw Company's steamship Indiana,
Captain Lambert, lately employed in the French trans-
port service, but now engaged by the British Govern-
ment has been fitted at Southampton for the conveyance
of horses. She is capable of providing accommodation
for 225, boxes for 150 being arrayed on her lower deck,
and the remainder on her maindeck. The Indiana will
leave Southampton for Woolwich on Tuesday next.
The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Orinoco, which
has rendered valuable service in the conveyance of
troops to the Crimea; is still undergoing repairs and
alterations at Southampton. It is expected that she
will be ready for sea about the commencement of July.
The Orinoco is to be fitted with new paddlewheels of
considerably less dimensions than those previously be-
longing to the vessel.
The Saldanha, one of the Black Ball line of Austra-
lian packets, but which has been fitted up at Liverpool
as a hospital ship, left that port on Thursday for Cork,
on her way to the Black Sea ; and yesterday the Great
Tasmania, a fine clipper ship, also belonging to Messrs.
James Baines and Co., and which has been fitted as a
hospital ship, sailed from Liverpool for Portsmouth,
where she will receive troops and stores. If not required
to remai❑ at Balaklava, they will return to England
with invalids. The principle of private enterprise, which
has proved so signally successful in connexion with the
railway at Balaklava, has been acknowledged in the de-
spatch of these vessels, Messrs. Baines and Co. having
contracted with the Government to feed the troops on
the outward and homeward passages at so much per
day.

Ile screw steamer Alps, belonging to Messrs. Burns
and Wlver's Mediterranean service, but which has been
occupied as a troop and store-ship since the war broke
out, will sail to-day from Liverpool for Woolwich, where
she will take on board heavy artillery and shot, besides
men and horses, for the seat of war.

Yesterday shipments of stores on a very large scale
for the hospitals at Scutari and Smyrna, the Turkish
hospital at Eupatoria, and the medical staff attached to
the army in the Crimea, took place at the Tower-wharf.
The stores that have already been shipped consist of
bedsteads and bedding, water-pails, blankets, sheets,
hosiery, lint, bandages, linen, preserved nourishing foods,
tourniquets, and other surgical instruments. Very large
supplies of medicines, &c., have also been shipped.
