THE SUN,

OSBORNE,
of Mid4:ham, has a well-bred colt by Touchstone, out
of the Qa,cii of Bi,outy, called Ciums: JAcK, hit his
vossc;slon; It is, he',vevcr, very uneerodn volt-Aber his
'cgs Dili ado him to do sugt:t on the Down:.
T,
of Goodwood, has three nominations of tlt' Duke of
Richmoon's in prepa.ration, in b lICULAIZIN, by 14-Inv:-
cost, out of Reel, who will not realize anything- for its
owner in this spin; a br c LIARBINCER, by Touchstone,
out of Cuckoo, who is an improving horse, and will be
heard of satisfactorily hcr,:after; and a br c HOME-
MIEWED, by Chatham, out of Sherbet, who, though
considered the pick of his stable, will, I venture to
prctlict, be nowhere at the finish of the exciting contest
in May next.

STEBBING,
of Hambleton, has but a couple this year, instead
of his u,ually long string of six or seven;
but as both of them have been pinch talked
of, I may as well inform the public, who are
not in the secret, that the b o YOUNG IlAwilloßrt, by
Lanercost, out of Alice Hawthorn, will in all probability
not be heard of on the Surrey hills; and thu ch c AL-
FRED THE GREAT, by Orlando, out of Dominus, great
in more than name, will be the representative of this
stable, if they should send any, to pull their cash ac-
counts through. This nag is a large, fine-looking
animal, and will do his sir© considerable credit before
his racing career closes, but he will not win the Derby.
J. SREPPERD,

of Malton, is preparing Mr. J. W. Woffinden's nomina-
tion—ch C KING OF TRUMPS, by Velocipede, Out of
Mrs. Gill, now the property of Mr. Harrison. This
hone has run in public four times, commencing at the
Doncaster Spring Meeting, where he ran second to
Mountain Flower for the Hopeful Stakes, beating six
others. At Malton he beat Paddy Bird and four others
for alO rovs. Stakes. At the York Spring Meeting he
won the Zetland Stakes, beating the Sorella's dam filly
and nine others easily, and concluded his two years old
performances at Nevvcastle•upon-Tyne, where he
won the Tyro Stak( s. besting Agnes Wick-
field and Sir Char:es Napier. This horse, probably
one of the strongest in the Derby entry, gifted with
speed and staying capabilities, will be heard of with
honour in many an encounter yet in the womb of Time.
I consider that, he is eminently qualified for the peculiar
nature of the course at Epsom, and will give all his com-
peers, if well tra the day, their work to do to pass him.
having touched on the qualities of all the principal
horses, as well as on many of a trashy description, en-
gaged in the Derby of 1852, I will now proceed to a
summing up, by classing them under the several heads
of first, second, and• third •class, dead, wrongly nomi-
nated, spid without their engegementS, or out of training.
Out of the one hundred and eighty-one nominations,
one, Mr. Johnstone's br c by Verulaw, out of Jeunala,
wrongly nominated; three, Don Issachar, Lord
Glasgow's c by Slane, out of Alarm's dem, and Sir
Joseph Hawley's Blackstone, are dead; Mr. Nichol's
Norham is declared not to start; and the remaining ono
hundred and seventy six I dispose of under the following
heads:—

FIRST CLASS, consisting of the lot that ought to in-
' elude the winner—Daniel O'Rourke, Lord Ribblesdale's
couple, the Chief Baron' Nicholson, Bobbie Noble, Cla-
vernouse, and Augur. If from this last lot I wero re•
quested to select a team of four to stand on, it would con-
sist of -BOBBIE NOBLE, AUGUR, CLAVERHOUSE, and
the CHIEF BARON—at the present taking AUGUR for
choice. As time wears on I shall be enabled to con-
centrate my views upon the subject, and give a more
decisive opinion.
Seven racing seasons have rolled o'er our heads
mince, one fine morn in May, I seized upon my lance (a
steel pen), and rushed into print to do battle in the cause
of the Turf; in other words, in tho Manchester Meeting
of 1845 I commenced my sporting opinionative capers.
For six seasons I pursued the beaten track—that of
" Attempting to anticipate
The cabinet designs of Fate,"
and commenting on past events. This, however, I found

was too tame and insufficient to supply the in-
creasing wants of the advancing spirit of the
age; so in No. 1 of these Sporting Notes,, pub-
lished January 13, 1851, I announced my intention
for the future of not only giving the sporting public, in
addition to my accustomed contributions, the current
odds in town whoa occasion required, but also " the
latest intelligence received by pest or electric
.telegraph from the country, together with all
the moves on tho Metropolitan board t that might
transpire at the club-houses, or at any of the principal
sporting houses in London up to the time of going to
press." The performance of the promises I thus held out
having partly met, I am happy to say, the wants and
wishes of those for whose behalf they were designed,
I have been induced, by the favourable manner in which
they were received, and at the request of numerous sub-
scribers, to give the on dits, and, in a brief manner, all
the rumours, and every description of racing memoranda
that the sporting man may r. quire, or that can in-
tleence his speculations, excepting the roil detail of the
races past, and entries and acceptances of races to come,
which, as usual, will uppoar under the head of Sporting
Intelligence in its ordinary place in the colums of The
Sun. In alert, it is my intention to make these Sport-
ing Notes a sporting paper epitomised; and, as I once
before
remarked, " when my plan is thorough)), toted,
I hope, in Byron's words— -
Arnicif,
Sun'si st htTreuoohfiisguohdne,r myself
spiritsgaily
t the aLsyc'd,

I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

LONDON,

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA,
(Fron' the Times)
We have received, via 'Ft ioste, ;:iccourits f(0, Rm.
bay to the 17th De.cembcr ; Calcutta, 6.1 December;
and Hong Kong, 27th
The following is taken from the Bombcy Times of
December 17:—

" There is very little news to communicate by the
present mail which will be likely to interest the Euro-
pean reader. The latest intelligence respecting the
movements of the naval expedition to Rangoon is
supplied to us in the Calcutta papers of the Gth inst.,
from which it appears likely that something warlike
may be expected to arise ont of Commodore Lembert's
visit to that quarter. The lisnourable Company's
steamer Prosperine returned to Calcutta on the sth
instant, from Rangoon on the 28th ultimo, and
Ceptain Latter, who has come on in that vessel,
has brought dispatches which it seems are not of
so pacific a character as bad been expected.
We learn that Commodore Lambert's demands have
been forwarded from Rangoon to the Burmese Court,
and a period of thirty- five days has been allowed for
an arrangement. The force under Brigadier Sir
Colin Campbell is still at Michenee, but there has
been no fighting. The new fort is fast approaching
completion. The latest news from the camp is to the
23d ultimo, at which date there was nothing new to
communicate. Some Khyberries had attacked the
house of the Sergeant-Major of her Majesty's Glst
Foot, within the Peshawur cantonments, which
proves the audacity of these people and how neces-
sary it is to be on the alert to keep them
down. They first set fire to the house, and then
discharged a volley from their matchlocks through
the doors and windows—fortunately with no very
serious effect : a comrade of the sergeant-major, who
was asleep in the house, and received a ball through
his cheek, was the only person wounded. The
cowardly villains, however, having discovered a poor
grass-cutter asleep in the verandah, shot him through
the heart. The alarm being given, the Khyberries
retreated after firing a second volley without doing
further mischief. Dost, Mahomed of Caubul, and
the Maharaja G-holab Singh of Jamoo, are both still
alive, notwithstanding the recent confident predictions
that their end was so near. The field ferce of Moul-
tan has been placed in readiness for immediate service,
for the coercion, as is supposed, of the arch-traitor
Ali Moored of Ihyrpore, who seems at length to have
been caught in a trap of his own making. It is ru-
moured that the Governor-General bas intimated to
this chief that it is his intention to compel him to
make restitution of certain territory which he has
hitherto claimed as his own under a title now proved
to be fraudulent. The report of the Committee on
ship-burning at Calcutta has been printed and
extensively circulated by order of Government.
It embodies many excellent suggestions for the
prevention of incendiary fires on board of vessels
manned by native seamen. The following is an
analysis of the contents of the report, presenting
the leading features common to the, whole series of
cases liables to suspicion :—First, all these fires, as
to which there is a suspicion of design, have eel-
curred either in the fore part of the ship or in that
part in which the crew are berthed, or have free
access to, and where no cargo is stowed, and
where no materials likely to ignite are placed.
Secondly. These fires occur in ports or m the river,
where incendaries prepared for the event may easily
have the means of escape. Thirdly. They occur SO
shortly after the departure of the vessel from her
moorings or anchorage, and so suddenly, without
previous warning from the smoke, as to contradict the
hypothesis of spontaneous combustion from sub-
stances liable so to ignite. Fourthly. They occur
in vessels the crews of which have received large
advances. Fifthly. In three of the cases, all of
very recent occterrence, the kussab, or his mate
have been suspected, and in two the serang
also , is another the serang only. The kussab
and his mete have charge of the stores, the ropes,
blocks, One, and the oil, a part of their duty being to
supply and trim the binnacle lamps; and furnish a
light at any time of night if required. The evidence
colleoted by the Committee was such as was avail-
able in respect to the discovery or outbreak of fire in
the following vessels, viz. ;—The Mor, Arie], Kurra-
many, Ardaseer, Buckinghamshire, Bombay Castle,
Rebarts, and Framjee Cowasjee. These Vessels were
all either wholly destroyed or partiallyainjured by
fire in the river Llooghly, within a recent period.
We regret to notice the death of Mr. John Reddie,
the First, Judge of the Calcutta Court of Small
Causes, which occurred at Calcutta on the 28th ult.
Re sank under an attack of cholera—a disease which
has of late been very rare among Europeans there.
It was not known who would succeed Mr. Reddie on
the Bench of the Small Cause Court ; for the present
Sir Laurence Peel, the Chief Justice, has undertaken
to occupy his seat two days in the week, A Calcutta
sunsMarist, speaking of the late Mr. ll:eddie, says—
The community has sustained a heavy loss in the
premature removal of this excellent man, who,
equally in his judicial character and as a member
of society, was admired and esteemed by all. It is
seldom indeed that, in Calcutta at least, the death of
an - individual has been so deeply and -widely felt
among men of all classes. We use not the words
idly when we say that it will be difficult indeed
worthily to fill his place. A number of influential
llindoos at Calcutta have, as previously mentioned by
us, formed themselves into a British Indian Associa-
tion, for the purpose of representing the wants and
grievances of the country to those who have power to
give relief or redress, with an especial view to in-
fluencing the deliberations and decisions of Parlia-
ment in the approaching discussion on the question
of a renewal of the charter. They purpose to employ
a competent agent in England. Mr, and Miss
Mackay, charged with having caused the death of a
little girl, the daughter of the former and niece of
the latter, by systematic ill-treatment, are to be tried
at the Calcutta Criminal Sessions. The Grand Jury
has found a true bill against them for wilful murder,
but it is likely they will be found guilty by the
Petit Jury of manslaughter only. As, how-
ever, the case is one of an aggravated character,
,heir punishment will probably be a heavy one, and
is thought the sentence at the least will be trans.

portation for a term of years, if not for life. In Bom-
bay all has been quiet during the past fortnight,
and peace has not been in any way disturbed by the
rival factions. The fourth criminal sessions for the
present year terminated yesterday. There were 31
amongst which were several
cases in all for trial,
arising out of the repent riots. Of 26 prisoners tried
on this charge, 21 were convicted of that offence,
and 3 of common assault only; 2 of these were sen-
tenced to 18 months' imprisonment in the common
gaol, 17 to imprisonment for 12 months, and 3 to 3
months' imprisonment; and 2 of those found guilty
of rioting, against whom bills were found for cutting
and wounding, were on conviction sentenced to
be transported to Penang for the term of 10 years.
Mr. J. L. Johnson, Clerk and Stipendiary Commis-
sioner of the Court of Requests, has been appointed
Sheriff of Bombay for- the ensuing ;ear. A severe
storm visited the coast of Scinde on the 21st and 22d
ult., one of the severest felt in that quarter for many
years past, and it is feared that the steamer Surat,
belonging to the Bombay Steam Navigation Com-
pany has four dered in it. The Hon. Company's steamer
Ajdeha has been dispatched in quest of this vessel,
in the hole that she they have only been disabled.
The camp of the Governor- General left Roorkee
on the morning of the 25th ult. His Lordship,
after having inspected the works at that place,
visited the college and model room, proceeded
up the canal, accompanied by Colonel Cautley, and
joined his camp at Bahedoorabad late in the forenoon
of the 26th. On the 27th the camp moved to Hurd-
war, where no halt was made, but at Bogpore instead
there VV'gi to be a halt of two days. Sir Jokn Grey,
Commander-in-Chief of Bombay, returned to the Pre-
sidency on the 10th but. Sir Erskine Perry has left
Bombay on 3 visit to the celebrated ruins of I3ceja-
po7e. The Calcutta commercial report is still un-
favourable as to both produce and import markets.
Exchange continues high, quotations touching on
2s. 3d. for first-class credits. Freights have under-
gone no improvement, and ',there is no immediate
ikelihood of their doing so."
