SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock.

GREECE.

A private letter from Athens mentions, that the
notice in the Times of the threatened revival of the
Russian intrigue had produced a good effect. The
principal party was spoken to on the subject, and,
after some inquiry, it was found that emissaries had
been already despatched to Laconia to foment an
insurrection among the warlike population of that
province, and had organized some petty intrigues
in the Chambers against the present Ministry. A
family that is known to possess considerable in-
fluence in Laconia has been informed by the autho-
rities that it should be held responsible for the
tranquillity of the country. For the present the
Court intrigue is defeated.

THE SPRING HANDICAP.

After much unnecessary delay, the nominations for
the principle handicaps have been placed before the
public. The fears which were entertained respect-
ing the number of the entries have been confirmed,
the Chester Cup, Great Northern Handicap, Metro-
politan Stakes, and City and Suburban Handicap,
all showing a diminution in the number of
subscribers. The Northamptonshire Stakes and the New-
market Handicap have, however, steadily maintained
their average numerical strength. Still the prospect of
sport for the coming season seems fair enough.
On examining the list of entries I find several horses
whose names have recently been changed. Foremost among
them, as being the most notorious animal, may be men-
tioned Monie Moses, who is now called Cardigan. The
game which was played with this horse at Newmarket last
season renders it a matter of no surprise that his party
were ashamed of him. I trust the handicappers will
place an impost on him sufficiently heavy to mark their
opi❑ion of the proceedings connected with hint and the
Cambridgeshire. The Queen's Own has been named
\Vilsford.

Engaged in the Chester Cup and other events, are
certain animals that have been quietly reserved to effect
a "good thing" this spring. I shall carefally watch
the market, and endeavour to explain whatever move-
ments relative to them may take place.

On glancing over the " Steeplechases to Come," 1 see
that a First Spring Meeting is advertised to take place
at Harrow, on the 2d of March, and a Second Spring
Meeting at the same place, on the 23d of March. A
gathering is also announced to take place at \\Tatham on
the 9th of the same month The recent exposures which
have been made of the " doings " at these "metropolitan
meetings " seeems to have exercised no discouraging in•
fluence over the getters-up of the undertakings. It is,
however, much to be wished that they may have the
desired effect of checking certain malpractices.
I intended to place before the reader some rough notes
relative to the Derby horses, but the unsettled state of
speculation, and the absence of some important informa-
tion, compels me to " wait awhile." In a few days,
however, I shall be able to redeem my promise.

LIBEL.-(THIS DAY).

DAVIS V. PRATT.

The arbitration in the above case, which arises out of
au alleged libel published in the British, Banner, was
resutned this morning, before Mr. Whateley, Q.C.
The court, as on previous occasions, was very much
crowded with members of the Dissenting body ; and
while Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Barnard appeared for the
plaintiff, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Evans repre-
sented the defendant.

The cross-examination of Mr. Davis was continued,
and concluded, after which he entered into some length-
ened explanations of his previous answers.
This explanation had not concluded when we went
to press, but there was little prospect of the inquiry
terminating to-day.
