TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS.

Those horses that are certain non-starters are com-
prised in the following list:-Hugo, The Prophet, Magnes,
Sackbut, Merry-go-roand, Dilbar gelding, Claverbouiee
Ilex, Lens, Canterbury, St. Alban, Winegnund, Hon!akin,
and Odd Fellow.- Norhana, colt by Slane, and Black-
stone, are dead. This weeding leaves me fourteen horses
from which to select
.the field and winner. Fisher, of
Ne wmarkot has Greyieg; whether Generale Anson ‘,ill
think it worth his while to start her for this event'
cannot say; but run or not his chance of winning is out
of possibility. The Wiaerd of the North, John Scott,
will bring a Daniel, aye, a second Daniel, to
Mt judgment;
and if my judgment does not materially mislead
Bowes's chesnut son of Birdcatcher and Forget-me-not
will stand btitlittle chance of being beaten. De is
uncommonly strong in, the Guineas this year,
having no less than, five of the nominations in
trainieg, namely-s-Vortex, Geloon, Father Thames,
Ftlius, and Stapleton. Which is to represent the stable
the gods only know. Sir R. Pigot will be sure to start
one of hise which, as Filitis is under a cloud, will pro-
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 occaskea. Vortex, it is reported, will do tolerably
well for the mile ; they said the same of Conyngham
some five years back, and as they were Tight
then they may be now with Vortex. Lord
I Exeter's coupler,. ,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 banked by this judgment of W. Butler and
Captain Roue. 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 -onebia chance., Lord Ribblesdale's
Lapidist, under the guidance of Nat, will mike another
'essay over the Rowley Mile, with probably much. the
same result as last week. Kent, it is rumoured, will
have both Hotriebrerved and ilon'akin at Newmarket;
the former however will be the runner ; and as he
has been proved, in private to be very fa't for a mile
and under, ho may perchance run forward on the pre-
sent occasion, thoagh I scarcely anticipate eeeing •hisa
the winner. Last, bat not least, we come to Hobble
Noble, the flying son of Pantaloon, who for sonic sight
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 us hard a condition next week as it was
last, they will not risk a break down or spoil his chance.
on the DOWIIA of Epsom by running him" here. Jibe runs,
lof course he thins!
___ _ _

It will be seen by the remarks I have made, that in
the absence of the Nobi3 •llobbie, DANIEL O'ROURKE
is ray champion, and that the leading horses in his
rear will be Homebrewed, Vortex,•Lapidist, and
Maidstone.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

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

SHREWSBURY AND Ilitimono.---Yesterday the 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, wt`libe for traffic, this time next year. The
Government Inspector passed over the line on Wednes-
day last, and certified it to be suitable fol. opening. At
eleven o'clock an express train, decorated with appro-
priate flags; banners &c..= and containing the directors
and.a select circle offriendB, left the former station for
Ludlow. On passing the several stations on the line
crowds -of-rustics entered the exeursionista; and when
the train arrived_at Ludlow the directors were met by
the c‘mporation of the borough, and thOusands of anxious
spectators were present. After the usual courtesies had
been 6:eh-ranged between the corporation and the directors,
a procession was formed, and, preceded by a band, it pro-
ceeded to the tow•n•hall, where an elegant clijeiiner WS,9
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 Bawls tinctsevoitil other noblemen and gentlemen.
Mr. Brarsey will work the line for the first 12 months,
guaranteeing to the shareholders a dividend at the rate
of
..4 per cent. .

STATE OF TRADE.
(From tbo Manehebter Guardian or this day.)

11 4.ble ULSTER, TITESDA.Y. rho Europa's d'lPa 2t13 to
the 7qi inst., from v.'hieh ii, tipp.,(rs that the firmness of
the .New York cotton market was not at all diminished
h 7 ac:vi,es henco of the 2 till March, nor that of ic4TV
Orleans by accounts of the 20th, &though both reported
a (helloing tendency in Manch,-uter, with a cerres-
pending dullness in. Liverpool. The r.,:ecirs fit
the ports had realised 2,:341,393, being 455,983
beyond those of the sums time last year; and
the receipts oft' the_ , week were 88,486 bales, or
more then double those of the corresponding week in
1851: These receipts caused opinion on the other
side still to tend to the largeSt 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 nut
likely to produce anything beyond a small and very tem-
porary depression of prices, perhaps not even that—a
persuasion founded on the smallness of the total stock

sortment to meet the arrivals with a freedom which
must counteract the effect they would otherwise produce

demand for their goods, and prices are somewhat better.
It is to be hoped,—now that some of the
houses have
suspended who for souse time past had been
'making forced sales at great losses—that we may have
3 progressive improvement as the season advances.
At present the make of goods is on a diminished
scale, and stocks are understood to be light, The strike
of Messrs. Brocklehurat's inside hand-loom weave's
against the outside weavers of that firm continues, with
no proballility of termination at present, in consequence
of the latter body not giving countenance to the opera-
tive local board of trade.. The Macclesfield manufac-
turers have found from three years' experience that
they could not continue to maintain fixed prices for
weaving, and at the same time meet manufacturers of
other towns in the market. They have therefore re-
linquished their support to the board. A large meeting
of the weavers was held last evening, which was of a
very abusive and. personal character towards the firm
abovenamed. Thrown Silks—The demand for this ar-
ticle is a little improved, more especially for sorts
suitable for continental purposes. The throwsters are
moderately supplied with work. Raw Silk—There is
no alteration to note in prices. The overland mail from
' Chide last.wesk reported small shipments, and no silk at
market. . . ._
