Mr. BAYLIS reported to the court another instance of a
seizure by one of the inspectors of the commission of a num
ber of carcasses of sheep, of which 11 were more or less
diseased. The meat was condemned by Alderman Mechi,
who directed the case to be reported to the Commissioner!
of Sewers, with a view to further proceedings being taken.
The Court instructed the solicitor to make further in •
quiries into the case, and if advisable to take the necessary
legal proceedings against the sender of the meat to London.
Dr. LETII EBY, the medical officer of health, presented his
weekly report on the sanatory condition of the City. Three
hundred and forty-two houses had been visited by the in-
spectors, and he submitted a list of 171 places for minatory
improvement. The markets and slaughter-houses had been
duly inspected during the week, and the officers had con-
demned 4,6451b5, of meat unfit for human food. It consisted
of 10 sheep, ono calf, 33 quarters of beef, and 44 joints of
moat. 2,5201b5, were diseased, 8001bs. were putrid, and 725
lbs. were from animals that had died from accident or dis-
ease. 'the mortality returns for the week are a little below
the average for the season. Last week the number of
deaths was 54, the average for the corresponding week of
the last eight years being 60. Twenty-ono of the deaths
were among children of less than five years of age, and 10
oEl=g persons of 60 and upwards. Tho chief causes of
death were as follows :—Plithtsts 10, mescnleric disease 2,
hydrocephalus 2, pneumonia 6, bronchitis 6, continued fever,
small-pox 3, whooping cough 3, measles 2, and diarrhoea 1,
making together 14 deaths from tubercular diseases, 11 from
inflammatory affections of the lunge, and 11 from diseases
of a zymotic character. Sixty-five births worn registered,
namely, 26 boys and 39 girls.
Dr. LIZTIIEBY further reported that the illuminating
power of the gas supplied to the City during the week had
on the average been above the requirements of the act of
Parliament, but upon one occasion the power of the City
ComnanY's gag, and once the Great Central was under the
standard. The properties of sulphur had, except in the case
of the Chartered Company, been in excess of that sanctioned
by Parliament.
Some other business was disposed of, and the commis-
sioners adjourned.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS DAY.
Graced by the presence of Royalty, with weather which
in itself was a keen enjoyment, and an attendance of
the general public. in addition to the habitues of the place,
as large probably as Newmarket has ever known, the great
Spring event, only yielding in importance to the Derby,
has come off this year with unusual eclat.
" The Guineas," always the occasion of Newmarket's
gayest and most crowded gathering—the first foreshadow-
ing of a solution to the Derby mystery—boasted on this
occasion the largest entry on record, and with the propor-
tionate value of the stakes, of course, raised a still greater
interest in turf circles. In common with the other Spring
events, as we have before hal occasion to remark, it has
been affected by the general languid tone of the market,
but within the last two or three weeks speculation has been
much brisker. Tho advent of General PCel and Copen-
hagen into the betting has led to some heavy wagering, and,
combined with the temporary retirement of Paris, and an
occasional hostile demonstration against the French mare
—whose position, however, has never been materially
shaken—a much-wanted impetus has been given to the
state of affairs.
The Two Thousand is generally noticeable for some of
those mysterious movements in tho betting suggestive of
" corpses," " dead ones," and ether names of evil augury.
Paris has this year been the animal operated upon. Sup.
posed to have been knocked out during the Craven meet-
ing, symptoms of a revival have been current the last day
or two, until the hot s which just before dinner last even.
ing was at 12 to 1 found uu talc bold enough to of more
than 6 at 10 30 p.m.
The London special was loaded, and the various excursion
trains brought crowds such a Newmarket lime rarely seen.
Thojourney to the heath, to the pedestrian at least, was a
work of peril, for the horsemen, and they were legion, were
most Cossack-like in the irregularity of their chatges ,
while an occasional sinanhed panel and the confusion con-
sequent thereon gave an Einem character to the throng.
The Prince of Wales arrived at the commencement of
the day's sport, and was allowed, we are happy to say, to
enjoy it unmolested by the too obtrusive loyalty of his future
subjects. But comparatively little attention was paid to the
events which preceded the race for the Two Thousand, and
as the time drew near the excitement was immense. Fills
de l'Air maintained her position as first favourite. General
I'cel was Decked with great spirit and confidence at 7 to 2.
They got away pretty punctually at a good start : they
approached the bushes it was evident the race was over,
General Peel, pulling double, came up the hill, followed by
Paris, Hollyfox, and Historian, and, though Fordham made
strenuous efforts to reach him, Lord Glasgow's colours were
borne past the chair amid tremendous cheering by a clear
length.

vance and won cleverly by half a length, a length and halt

made play into the cords, where the French representative
canto out, and won very cleverly by a length, twice that
distance separating the second and third. The others passed
the post as placed by the judge at wide intervals, the
favourite, who was left at the post, being a long way in the
rear. An objection was raised by Lord Westmoreland to

After taking their preliminary cantors, they joined the
starter, who despatched them from the post at the first
attempt to an admirable start. Acolyte, on the lower side,
after running a few strides, appeared with a slight lead,
closely followed by Master Richard and hie stable companion
Copenhagen, and on their right by General Peel, Ilollyfox,
and Historian, Paris lying by himself, wide of the lot, on
the upper ground, Fille de 1. Air and Sir Roger heading the
next division, about a couple of lengths in the rear, In
these positions they reached the first half of the Abingdon
Mile-post, where General Peel, pulling double) took a pro-
