THE PROBABLE FATE of THE CANDIDATES
FOR THE SEVENIY-THIRD DERBY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—It is now quite time that I gave my opinion on
the probable isime of the great race of next week.
Having already sent out a list of absentees and prubeble
starters, it will be perfectly superfluous to do so again.
Commencing with the horses in preparation at head-
quarters, Newmarket, strange to say, this year turns out
the alm:fst unprecedented number, for them, of probably
balf-i-drzeit sql,rters.

Lord Orforti's be c .te.coneN, by Theon ont of
Adelgund, by Bay Middleton, being the one most
fancied in the betting out of this lot, I shall
begin my c•-mments with him. He never appeared as a
two years old; and his chance was thounht to be so re-
mole in December last, that 100 to 1 was absolutely
refused about him ; some good judges, however, who saw
him early in the Flaring, said he would turn out a clip-
per, and backed
.him accordingly at long shots. He
has, to some extent, justified their prediction, by
beating Stockwell for the 100 Suva. Stakes in the
Craven Meeting very cleverly, giving him three
pounds. This horse, it seems, is possessed of a re-
markably vicious temper, and, at his debut just men-
tioned, satisfied his bad propensities by flying
at Stockwell immediately before starting; which,
some people say, so cowed the latter that he
was not likely to attempt to pass his adversary;
this idea, in my opinion, is all stuff and nonsense. In
the First Spring Meeting at Newmarket be made his
second and last appearance previous to the Derby, dis-
posing of those wretched animals Wingenund and Hou-
lakin with the most consummate ease imaginable.
Stockwell also figured among the entries, but as he
would in this instance have had to concede 51bs to
Alcoran, of course he stopped at home in his stable.
Everything in the way of training that Beresford can
accomplish has been done for Alcoran, who is in as fine
condition as it is possible for horse to be. He will finish
in front next Wednesday.
Turning next to Lord Exeter's lot, twe, I perceive,
are already disposed of; thus leaving the other two to do
battle for the blue and white stripe.
STOCKWELL, by the Baron, out of Pocohontas, ran
twice last yar: in the first race, at the Second October
Meeting, finishing close in the rear of Maidstone; and in
the other, running a queer fourth for the Criterion
Stakes to Red Hind, Ambrose being second, and the
Knight of the Shire third: the filly_ carried 41bs more
than Stockwell.— This year -he made his first appear-
ance for the 100 Soya. Stake& in the Craven meeting,
for which he was beaten by Alcoran. His second ap-
pearance was for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes,
which, with 12 to 1 against him, he won very cleverly
from end to end, but beating a very inferior lot, Home-
brewed and Maidstone being perhaps the best. It must
be observed however, that in condition, to all appear-
ance, he was four or five pounds at the least on this
occasion superior to his Craven form. His next engage-
ment was fur the 50 Suva. Stakes, which be declined
contesting; and did the same for the 100 Soya Stakes,
coming out on the Friday and winning the Newmarket
Stakes by a head, which could have been two lsngths
but for Norman—who must have been going to sleep—
taking it very easy, fancying be had the rave in hand,
enabling Batter ou Maidstone to get to his head. This
horse's chance has been very much deteriorated by the
little work he has done for the last fortnight; , he is,
however. once more looking up and taking his exercise
freely. I cannot however, all things considered, imagine he
has any chance of obtaining a place.
AMBROSE:
by Touchstone, out of Annette, by Priam,
considered last summer to be much better than Stock-
well, has been one of the unluckiest horses that ever
trod the turf, having, as a two years old, appeared in
public a &eats times, and in every instance having run
well up. He was second no less than four times, and
third seven times, thus having been only fairly out of
the race in one instance, 'When he ran nowhere to Red
Hind. He has been doing very good work, but I can-
not for an instant suppose he has any chance of carrying
off the Derby. He will, in all probability, finish in the
leading portion of the ruck.
Out of Cooper's string of five, Kingston and the Nabob
will be the couple selected to represent the stable.
Lord Ribbesdale's b c KINGSTON, by Venison, out of
Queen Anne, by Slane, is their
great gun. As a two
years old he appeared in public four times, making his
debut at Ascot, where he ran a moderate third to Hobbie
Noble, Grey Tommy occupying the second place. This
performance is not very satisfactory, as the winner had
the race in band all the way. In his second essay he
ran a couple of dead heats, with Chief Baron Nicholson,
at Stockbridge—another very equivocal performance.
Then he took a long rest, and came out at the
Newmarket First October Meeting, where, carrying
Bst 10lb for the Hopeful, be beat Ambrose, Bst 71b, and
Flirt, Bst 81b, but only had half a length the advantage
of Ambrose, who in his turn beat Flirt by a neck. In
the Second October Meeting he accomplished his best
performances, carrying Bst 131 b, he won the Clearwell
Stakes, beating Harbinger, at 61b less, by a neck, Am-
brose and Elcot also being among the defeated. He
has as yet not run this year. He has been doing good
work for a long time past; looks as well as any horse
can look; has satisfied his owner and trainer of his
capabilities, and will probably finish in the fourth or fifth
position, perhaps nearer, his blood being undeniable on
both sides. He is descended through Garcia by Octa-
vian, dam by Shuttle, out of Catherine, one
.of the best
daughters of Delpini.
IHE NABOB, by The Nob out of Hester, by Camel
out of Monimia, by Mulev, did not appear as a two
years old, but made his debiit at the Newmarket Craven
Meeting by winning the Tuesday's Riddlesworth with
great ease from Weathergage and Magnes. On Friday
in the same meeting he won the 100 Sow. Stakes easily
from Sackbut second, and Ambrose third—the last
named beaten several lengths, finishing his per-
formanc?s, so far as this year is yet concerned, by giving
a dollop of weight away to Hugo and beating him out
of hand. This animal is a remarkably leeey
brute, and, if I mistake not, will be completely out of his
eknzent at Epsom, so I cannot award' him a respectable
place; besides, he may be entrusted with cutting out
the work for his stable companion, Kingston.
The betting has undergone a slight alteration since
yesterday, Hobble's advance to 5 to 1 being the prin-
cipal feature.-Kingston is very steady at 15 to 1.
Stockwell has re-appeared again at his old price, 20
to 1; and the King of Trumps has advanced three
points since yesterday, and is now quoted at 15 to I.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

THE AUSTRALIAN DIGGINGS.
Ths following is an extract frern is letter dated Mel-
bout ne, Jen. 17 :
" I have been for fte last two. months from home,
having had occasion to visit the Point Fairy and Portland
districts, situato about 100 and 220 miles hence respec-
tively, all of which has been done on horseback. I re-
turn by the steamer to Sydney next week, where, in all
probability, I shall have answers to mine written to you
last May and June, announcing the discovery of gold in
the Bathurst district.
" Long ere this you will have learnt the opening of
the Victoria Mines of Bathurst and Mount Alexander.
To these must now be added apparently inexhaustible
regions, all around the Mount. In point of fact, the
yield is actually incredible, and daily increasing.
The pursuit of gold-digging absorbs all other voca-
tions; nothing is thought of, spoken of, or
written about, except geld. Business contracts of
all kinds,—the social compact, domestic content,
the relation of master and servant, and all other ties,
either civil or religious, are in a state of disruption
beyond the power of language to describe. Six
w,eks, a month, a fortnight, nay,
even a week's
labour, produces occasionally prodigious sums.. I
saw four men lifting a seaman's chest into a dray
half an hour ago, almost too heavy for their
united strength. This chest contained the product
of six weeks' labour, and contained at least 2001bs.
of gold. The banks 'and the post-office are work-
'
ing double hours ; all other publio departments
are crippled for want of • hands t male servants
are not to be had, even at extravagant rates ; Wet
men are not much better. Marriages are now in
high favour; almost all the single men arrive from the
diggings wit gold enough to maintain a wife. So far
the abstraction of young women from service is desirable,
bo the inconvenience what it may; but there are other
channels for expenditure where prefligacy and licentious-
ness are exhibited on a fearful scale, amid the riot of
waste and reckless prodigality. Enormous sums are
squandered by the diggers and their families. Every
Jack has his Gill, and Jack has snore money besides
than his master of the preceding month.
"I.asked the waiter, and then the chambermaid of
the inn where I stop, to send me out a small bundle of
linen to the laundress; they, however, stated that they
could not find arty person willing to wash—under these
circumstances, I went to the haberdasher for a sup-
ply. I notice this as an instance of the state of
things here, which are fast assuming a Cali-
fornian character, with respect to the rate of high
prices, equally for the necessaries and luxuries of life.
Do you want a pair of hoots the price is 2/. 10s.; a pair
of strong shens, 20s. Then there is such a consump-
tion of bottle beer, champagne, and other wines, spirits,
and tobacco as would astonish a new-comer. An order
came to town yesterday from a publican on the Mcunt
Alexander road for 1,200 dozens of bottled beer. This
man, I am tole actually sold 70 dozens in one day to
the coming and going diggers, hundreds of whom call at
his house every day.
" I think the community of Victoria, taking them all
in all, are now the wealthiest in the world, and posses',
besides, a beautiful country and healthy climate in the
main—though I must say Ido not like the site of Mel-
bourne as a metropolis; it is singularly hot, dusty,
without sewers or drainage, and will by-and-by become
very unhealthy. The country between &dote and
Wamambhoel is extremely fine (close to the coast) for
agricultural purposes, and the climate much milder than
in the neighbouring district. I think Geeloug ought to
have been the site of the capital. I am convinced in a
few years it will rival this city. It stands much higher,
on the margin of a fine open bay, and commands a fine
back country. The wheat crops on the Barrabul hills,
close to Geelong, are magnificent; I calculate them to
yield 50 bushels an acre. There, however, will be great
difficull in getting them in for want of labourers,

May last. The effect of
such an immense addition of exportable commodity
banking
to the customary transport of wool and tallow
has been a most extensive or extended issue of bank-
notes, far beyond the ordinary regulations of
principles—for which, indeed, there was no help. In
fact, the whole circulation of the three banks may
be said to be out, in proof of which I obtained with
some difficulty 4001. on Wednesday last from
one of the Anglo banks, and on another occasion
I have known a bank in Sydney quite cleared
out. All our banks stand so high in the public
estimation that little can be apprehended from their
expanded circulation; still, large addition to their
coin is necessary in the absence of an assay-
office, making our gold in bars a legal tender
under a Government stamp, or a branch mint, which
would he still better, though I foresee a difficulty in
obtaining from the home Government a branch mint.
An assay-office, however, in the hands of Govern-
ment, issuing gold bars of certain fineness and weight,
will, I think, be necessary. -Under such an arrange•
ment, our gold would speedily assume a convertible
form for remittances to any part of the world.
Situated as we now are, we must. transmit our
gold sixteen thousand miles, trammelled with heavy
transit charges, to obtain a currency value, and
then bring it back again, thus losing at least six
months' interest. I think we ought to have a Go-
vernment assay establishment at Sydney or Melbourne,
or both, the expense of which would 136 defrayed by a
small charge on the gold, each ingot receiving the stamp
of Great Britain to determine one uniform fineness.
The earth in certain parts of these colonies teems
with the precious metal. Conceive the astounding
quantity of about 9*- tons of pure gold being taken in
tour months ism Victoria alone, and this, too, in
the most slovenly way imaginable! It is well known
that a great deal more of tine gold, in dust and scales,
has been left (as too troublesome) by the gold.diggers
unwashed, the search being confined principally to nug-
gets or small lumps of metal. ranging from the siz of
a pinhead to a horsebean. The price to-day of gold is
60s. to 61s. per oz. The Brilliant sails to-morrow with
55 100 ex , of which one house alone ships 8,000 z.

lisemeitt of diffsren, ittl duties, in some cases almost pro-
hibitory, against each other,—a must insane project,

of penal infliction.

convinced, that the cause of literature in this country
must essentially depend."
At the conclusion of the judgment,
Mr. W. LONGMAN said—Allow me, my Lord, on be-

presenting the association, to express our thanks for the
very courteous manner in which we have been received,
the attention with which the whole of the arguments
have been listened to, and for the extremely able deci-
sion which your Lordship has just delivered. There is
only one point to which I should be anxious to state a
few words in reply.
,Lord CAMPBELL—No, no, we cannot admit of any
reply to the Court.
Mr. CHAPMAN, on behalf of the opposition, tendered
his best thanks for the courteous attention which , its
members had received.
