TWO. THOUSAND GUINEAS.

Those horses that are certain non-starters are com-
prised in the following list :—Hugo, The Prophet, Magne,
Sackbut, Merry-go-round, Dither gelding, Clsverhouse,
Ilex. Lens, Canterbury, St.Alban,Winegnund, Houlakin,
and Odd Fellow. Norham, colt by Slane, and Black-
stone, are dead. This weeding leaves me fourteen horses
from which to select the field and winner. Fisher, of
Newmarket has Greyleg; whether General Anson will
think it worth his while to start her for this event I
cannot say; but run or not his chance of winning is out
of possibility. The •Wizard of the North, John Scott,
will bring
.a Daniel, aye, a second Daniel. to judgment;
and if my judgment does not materially mislead me, Mr.
Bowes's chestnut son of Birdcateber and Forget-we-not
Da.
will stand but little chance of being beaten
uncommonly strong in the Guineas this yyea':
riming no less than five of the nominations in
training, namely—Vortex. Geleon, Father Thames,
Filius, and Stapleton. Which is to represent the stable
the gods only know. Sir R. Picot will be sure to start
one of his, which, as Filius is under a cloud, will pru-
bably be Father Thames; the hoary mariner can have
but little chance of winning. Stapleton's running I
doubt, and Geleon's likewise, so it will be seen that my
ideas lead me to the conclusion that the short-worked
Vortex will be the representative of the stable on
the occasion. Vortex, it is reported, will do tolerably
well for the mile ; they said the same of Cony egham
some five years back, and as they were right
then they may be so now with Vortex. Lord
Exeter's couple, Stockwell and Ambrose, the former an
interior horse, and the latter not up to the mark, will,
of course, be nowhere in the race. I have no penchant
whatever for the present favorite, Maidstone, notwith-
standing he is backed by the judgment of W. Butler and
Captain Rous. It is said that on Tuesday next we are
to have the first peep at the mysterious wonder of Peck's
stable, Womersley. I, however, entertain doubts of his
putting in an appearance, so shall for the present defer
giving an opinion on his chance. Lord Ribblesdale's
Lepidist, under the guidance of Nat, will make another
essay over the Rowley Mile, with probably much the
same result as last week. Kent, it i 3 rumoured, will
have both Homebrewed and Houlakin at Newmarket;
the former however will be the runner ; and as he
has been proved in private to be very fast for a mile
and under, he may perchance run forward on the pre-
' sent occasion, though I scarcely anticipate seeing him
the winner. Lea, but not least, we come to Hobbit)
Noble, the flying son of Pantaloon, who for some eight
I or ten days past the public have imagined will start for
the Guineas; I believe, however, that as the ground is
likely to be in as hard a condition next week as it was
last, they will not risk a break down or spoil his chance
en the Downs of Epsom by running him here. If he runs,
of course he wins!
• It will be seen by the remarks I have made, that in
the absence of the Noble Hobble, DANIEL O'ROURKE
is my champion, and that the leading horses in his
I rear will be Homebrewed, Vortex, Lepidist, and
Maidstone.

I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
THE SPIRI r OF THE TURF.

P.S. Redmond OilaTilon's victory at the Curragh over
a large field, including Barbarian (the favourite at small
odds), was so easily accomplished that his Chester Cup
chant 3 must be considered one of a very superior kind.

RAILWAY • INTELLIGENCE.
NORFOLK RAILWAY.
A special meeting of the shareholders of the above
company was held yesterday at the offices, Guildhall-
buildings. Major Tyndall (in the absence of Mr. S. M.
Peto, 51. P., who wit,, from unavoidable circumstances,
unable to be present) took •the chair. The meeting was
for the purpose of having submitted to it the draft of a
Bill (now before Parliament) for defining and regulating
the capital of the Norfolk Railway Company, and for
authorising arrangements with the Halesworth, Beccles,
and Haddiscoe Railway Company, and for other
purposes.
The Bill, the important clauses of which were read by
the solicitor of the company, proposes to enact that all
the preference shares crested by the Norfolk Company,
and also the guarantee by the company of the thsres in
the Lowestoft Railway and Harbour Company, shall be
valid in law, and that the elivideads on such several
shares shall be paid in preterenee to and before any di-
♦idend shall be declared and paid on the general capital
of the company; and such several shares shall be classed
and take priority as between themselves, according to
the order of time in which the same have been createJ;
that the Waveney Valley shares shall be prefer-.
ence shares of the company, ranking after ell the pre-
f, rence shares of the company already created, and
also after the Lowestoft Railway and Harbour shares
guaranteed by the company, and the shares to be created
under the provisions of the Act tor paying off the mort-
gage debt of the company, and shall entitle the holders
thereof to dividends at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum,
but to no further interest or participation in the profits
of the company. That it shall be lawful for the company,
with the consent of three-fifths of the votes of the share-
holders present in person or by proxy at any general
meeting or meetings specially convened for the purpose,
to create preference shares for the purpose of raising such
sum or sums of money as shall be necessary for paying
Off or diecharging the principal moneys secured by mort-
gages granted by the company under any of the recited
Acts, or for which they shall be liable at the time of the
creation thereat; and such shares shall be called " Nor-
folk Rail Way Debenture Shares," and shall be the first
charged upon the undertaking of the company subject
only to mortgages remaining unpaid at the time of the
creation of such shares, and shall be of such number and
amount,tind entitle the holders thereof to such amount of
fixed dividend, not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum, and
Isbell be subject and liable to such terms and conditions
with respect to the payment of calls, and to the redemp.
tion or commutation of such shares, and otherwise, as
shall be determined at any such meeting or meetings; and
the dividend upon such last-mentioned shares shall be
paid in preference to and before any dividend shall be
paid upon the existing preference charges of the com-
pany, and the guaranteed shares of the Lowestoft Rail-
way and Harbour Company, and that the Norfolk Rail-
way Company, and also the Halesworth, Beccles, and
kladdisene Railway Company, by and with the stalls*

prietors present, either personally or by proxy, 'at some
general meeting of each of the said companies specially
convened for the purpose, from time to time to make and
enter into contracts or agreements ter working and using
the railway, by the said Halesworth, Haddiscoe, and
Beccles Railway Act, 1851, authorised to be constructed,
or for the maintenance and repair, or for or in respect
to the traffic passing along the same, and also along the
Norfolk Railway, as the companies may deem advisable,
subject to the provisions of the Railways Clauses Conso-
lidation Act.

The draft Bill was sar etionpd, and the meeting broke up

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD.—Yesterday tho first
section of this line was opened from Shrewsbury to Lud-
low, upwards of 27 miles. The first sod was cut by Mr.
W. 0. Gore, M.P., at Hereford, on the 10th of January,
1851. The remainder of the line, from Ludlow to Here-
ford, will be ready for traffic this time next year. The
Government Inspector passed over the line on Wednes-
day last, and certified it to be suitable for opening. At
eleven o'clock an express train, decorated with appro-
priate flags, banners, &c., and containing the directors
and a select circle of friends, left the former station for
Ludlow. On pa-sing the several stations on the line
crowds of rustics cheered the excursionists; and when
the train arrived at Ludlow the directors were met by
the corporation of the borough, and thousands of anxious
spectators were present. After the usual courtesies had
been exchanged between the corporation and the directors,
a procession was formed, and, preceded by a band, it pro-
ceeded to the town hall, where an elegant de:leaner was
provided at the expense of Mr. Brassey, and of which the
directors and their invited guests partook. A grand ball
took place in the evening under the patronage of the
Earl of Powis and several other noblemen and gentlemen.
Mr. Brassey will work the line for the first 12 months,
guaranteeing to the shareholders a dividead at the rate
of per cent. _

BRISTOL AND EXETER.—Yesterday, in the Commit-
tee on Standing Orders, of which Lord Redesdale is
chairman, the standing orders were declared to be com-
plied with in the case of this company's Yeovil Branch
Bill.

YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND AND EAST AND WEST
YORKSHlRE.—Yenterdoy, before 'he Standing Order
Committee of the House of Commons, the standing
orders connected with the capital stock arrangements of
these companies were dispensed with.
WATERFORD AND LIMERICK.—The directors and
their friends, in a special train, passed over the portion
of this line from Clonmel to Limerick on Friday. The
trip occupied about 90 minutes, and was performed in a
satisfactt,ry manner. A dinner was provided at
Litrerick for the party, arid the Mayor of Limerick and
other gentlemen were invited by the directors to cele-
brate the event.

STATE OF TRADE,
(From' tho Manchester Guardian ut this day.)

AlaectiESTEß, TUESDAY.—The Eurepa's dates ara to
the 7th inst., from which it, appears that the firmness of
the New York cotton market eras not at all diminished
by retvi' es hence of the 24. h March, nor that of New
Orleans by accounts of the 20tb, although both reported
a declining tendency in Manchester, with a corres-
ponding dullness in Liverpool. The receipts at
the ports had realised 2.841 393, being 455,983
beyond those of the same time last year; and
the receipts of the week were 88,486 bales, or
more than double those of the corresponding week in
1851. These receipts caused opinion on the other
side still to tend to the hirgest estimates. These ac-
counts have contributed to strengthen the persuasion
which has latterly gained ground on .this side the At-
lantic, that the large import we must shortly have is not
likely to produce auyth ng beyond a small and very tem-
porary depression of prices, perhaps not even that—a
persuasion founded on the smallness of the total stock
in Liverpool, which is less by 202,400 bales than it
was a year ago—on the very inferior quality of
that stock—and on the prohnbility that the spin-
ners will be led by their want of a better as-
sortment to meet the arrivals Kith a freedom which
must counteract the effect they would otherwise produce
on prices. The rouse queue is, that the buyers of yarns
have come forward more freely to execute orders at the
practicable rates of last week, especially for warps,
coptwist, and pin-cops; and this, after the enlarged
to 50's. Warps and cops
