SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
MONDAY.
With fine weather, a crowded programme, and a Cesare-
witch of about the average amount of interest and specula-
tion attaching to' it, the SeCond October "comment-4s fa-
vourably, The trains yesterday and this morning did not
strike us as being so full as usual, but doubtless to-morrow
will make up for any deficiency in that respect.
The Handicap Plate over the,Cesarewitch Course is ge-
nerally a feature in the first day's sport, one or two of the
trial horses figuring therein, and some clue thereby being
obtained as to the form of the leading favourites. The very
easy win of Signalman, of course, gave increased firmness
to the position of the Woodyates " crack," about whom 4 to
1 was not obtainable after the race. In fact, to listen to his
supporters, the great event was as good as over. Jessie de-
feated Mirage very eleverly in the Filly Sweepstakes, and
Vabalathus with odds on him, had, of course, no difficulty
in disposing of Turcos and Barter in the Handicap Stakes
over the T.Y.C. The fielders got their first turn in the 2-
yr-old £5O plate, where the favourite, My Fancy, proved
herself a non-stayer, and Pantaloon, a fine-looking colt of
the Marquis' of Hastings, landed the scarlet and white
hoops very cleverly. The 300 soya Sweepstakes, reduced to
a match, was another victory for the Marquis, and a se-
cond triumph forth() fielders, and the Handicap Plate for 2
and 3-yr-olds gave young Grimshaw an opportunity of
showing that his head and hands were as clear and firm as
before his accident at Monmouth, winning on Verderer,
after a fine set-to with Dawdle, by half a length.
There was very little change in the betting on the great
event—beyond Mail Train advancing t 3 7 to 2 and Char-
mian coming to 7 to 1 there was scarcely an alteration.
The partisans of the two favourites are both equally san-
guine, and only to-morrow can solve the question.
Handicap Plate of £5O, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Cesare-
witch Course.

Signalman jumped away with a decided lead, having
Kromeski and the favourite as his immediate followers,
Ramrod and Belle of the Vale following some half-a-dozen
lengths in their rear. These positions were retained to the
brushes, where the last-named was beaten, and shortly after
was pulled up. Signalman came on with the running to
the end, and won without an effort by half a dozen lengths ;
a bad third.

Rigolboche, in the centre, made play, followed by Mirage
and Jessie, Lady Mary lying up. On entering the cords

ning, but half-way up she was caught by the favourite,
who won a fine race by a head—two lengths separated the
second and third —a bad fourth.

Betting-5 to 4 agst My Fancy, 6to 1 agst Edinburgh,
and 10 to 1 agst any other.
An admirable start was effected at the first attempt
Tesane, on the upper ground, having slightly the best of it
closely followed by Pantaloon, Edinburgh, Spice, and the
favourite, the rear division, who were headed by Landguard,
Fort, Bella, and Curtain Lecture following close in their
track. On entering the cords Tesane gave evidence of defeat
and half-way down she was headed by Pantaloon and Edin-
burgh, who came together to within a few strides of the
chair, where Judd came with a rush and secured the
judge's fiat by three parts of a length ; a length separated
the second and third ; My Fancy was fourth, close up, at
whose girths were Spice, fifth, and Landguard Fort, sixth.
Then came Bella, Hetty, and Wade, and a long way in their
rear Ardericca, Redmire, and the Serenade colt, who were
the last.

dam colt, and Doeford.
Betting-7 to 4 agst Verderer, 4to 1 agat Dawdle, Bto 1
each agst Regina and Clairvoyante, and 10 to 1 agst Con-
federate.
Clairvoyante, with a slight lead, made the running, fol-
lowed by Doeford, Regina, the favourite, and Antoinette
nearly in a line. In these positions they ran to a distance
from home, when the two first named gave way, leaving
Regina in possession of the lead, which she retained to the
cords, where Verderer, on the lower ground, came out, fol-
lowed by Dawdle, the pair finishing a fine race home, the
favourite,who always had the best of it, winning at last by
half a length ; Dawdle defeated Regina by a neck for
second ; Antoinette was fourth, close up ; Clairvoyante fifth,
Confederate sixth, and Doeford next; the last two were
Countersign and Greenland.

rebeldw'ere moving on Pulaski. No demonstra-

Lion has been made on the Chattanooga Railroad. A
viegram from Pulaski reports heavy firing was heard

:n the direction of Sulphur Branch, and the rebel

forces were operating against Eik River bridge. All

accounts agree that a large force is marching upon
our defences in this line, and proper•means have
been taken to repel the rebels. Gen. Rousseau takes
the field to-day in person, and it is hoped that the
rebels will be forced to recross the river before he

gets through with them."
A St, Louis despatch of the same date gives par-
ticulars of the invasion of Missouri by the Confede-

rates under Price. It states:—

"Joe Shelby's rebel cavalry are said to be 4,000
or 5,000 strong, and occupied Frederickstown, 20
miles east of Pilot Knob, yesterday. Shelby's de-

signs are not yet developed. General Ewing, com•
mandant of the district of St. Louis, took a brigade
of A. J. Smith's troops down last night, and other•

wise prepared to meet the enemy. Pilot Knob is
well fortified and garrisoned. Cape Girardeau, on
the river, can stand a siege, and the only damage
the rebels can do is temporarily to cut the Iron

Mountain Railroad. When Price crossed the Ar.

kansas River some days since, at least a part of his
forces moved towards Batesville, evidently with the
design of joining Shelby in North-Eastern Arkan.

sas, and with their combined commands invade Mis-
souri from the south-east. The force at Fredericks-
town is doubtless the advance of this column, which
is estimated to be 10,000 or 12,000 strong, General
Mower, with part of the 16th Corps, left
Brownsville, on the Duval's Bluff and Little Rock
Railroad, a few days since, going north, and Shelby
will soon have to look sharply after his rear. The
situation will probably develope itself in a very few
days."

Farther despatches from the same quarter state—

"It is now said that Price has entered Missouri
with for3es estimated at 30,000 strong. His plan
is supposed to be to march to the central part of the
State with three columns, and, capturing all the
important points, hold the country. It is expected
that Kirby Smith will join him with from 10,000 to
12,000 men. The Arkansas guerillas are also con•

centrating to aid in the movement of the column
now in the south-east, doubtless under Shelby, who
has some 6 000 or 9,000 men. Reports are circu-
lating to-night that part of the force which occum
pied Fredericktown yesterday captured Cape Girar.
dean to-day, but they are very doubtful. The enemy
may be demonstrating in that direction, but the post
is too strong to be taken by cavalry. Military
preparations here are very active, and troops are
already moving southward. The blacksmiths' shops
have been very busy all day shoeing cavalry horses.
Ordnance and ammunition are being sent to dif-
ferent points. Everything is being put into fine
condition for immediate active service. Brigadier-
General Pike has called out the enrolled militia.
General Rosencrans will issue an appeal,to-morrow,
calling the people to arms. Major• General Blair
arrived here to-day. The trains are still running
on the Iron Mountain railroad, which so far as is
known, has not yet been molested."
The Washington correspondence of the World
contains the following, dated Sept. 26 ;
"I can announce, I think, without fear of being
contradicted, that Mr. Lincoln is now trying to do
what he has hitherto failed to accomplish, which
is to effect harmony in his Cabinet, and to obtain
thereby a control which he has not yet been able
to exercise. The men who, by their independence
of character and their spirit of combativeness
such as Mr. Chase and Mr. Blair, stood in the way
of the fulfilment of his plans, have either been re-
moved or received the cold shoulder. Those who
are still in his way will soon share the same fate.
Among the latter I hear mentioned the name of
Mr. Stanton, now the only man in the Cabinet who
dares to raise his voice against Mr Lincoln's wishes.
All the others have yielded and are merely tools in
his hands. Since the departure of Messrs Chase
and Blair, the unfortunate Secretary of War is
alone in the opposition to the President, and has the
greatest trouble to make a decent figure in presence
of the crushing majority which the union of all his
colleagues and the preponderating weight of Mr
Lincoln's influence carry against him. In all pros
bability he will resign his seat before long, or receive,
as Mr Blair did, the order to leave. ' That his
time has come.' The man whom the voice of the
Radicals, into whose hands Mr. Lincoln has fallen,
points out as his successor in General Banks. The
General is said to be on his way now, with the
promise of receiving Mr Stanton's position imme-
diately after the Octobet elections, if they prove
favourable to Mr Lincoln. In this way the latter
expects to have on his side the majority of the
Massachusetts politicians, and of the Abolitionists
who have until this day looked upon him with dire-
trust. This shows you from what point the wind
blows, and gives you an inside view of the future
policy of Mr Lincoln's administration for the next
four years, should he be allowed to run another
term."

The same correspondent states—" The country
may soon expect to hear of a naval attack upon
Wilmington, North Carolina. The fleets are gather
ing and the land force is in readiness. Secretary
Welles, as usual, is behindhand, and wished to delay
the attack until all his ships were in readiness,
which would not be before November, but Mr Lin-
coln's orders were imperative that it should take
place before the election in order to have its efftct
upon the canvass for the presidency.

THE MATLOCK WILL CASE AGAIN.—We are 1114
formed on pretty good authority that there is an.
other movement on foot for the reopening of this notorious
case. A firm in Manchester, it is said, have taken the mat-
ter in hand, and are endeavouring to institute new proceed 4
ings on the ground of the documents which were discovered
so mysteriously at the recent sale of Mr Else's furniture. It
is stated that notices have already been served upon the
tenants to withhold the rents from the parties into iN hose
hands they would fall by virtue of the decision in the House
of Lords.—Derby paper.

[AnvEßTNE?fENT]—Holloway's Pills. Counsel and
Comfort.—A disordered st )roach throws the whole system
out of gear, and renders us unfitted both for work and
amusement. A few does of these strengthening and purify-
mg pills taken, according to their accompanying directions,
will, however, speedily restore order and re-enable the
stomach to digest its food without difficulty. These excel-
lent pills are suitable alike for the peer and the peasant, the
soldier and sailor, and particularly for women and foreign
colonists. Holloway's pills are very useful in checking
feverish attacks, bilious complaints,
and inflammation.
They have also made the most signal cures in cases of
dropsy, and diseases of the heart andlungs, when the suf.
ferers seemed past the reach of medicine.

FAILURE OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE.—A few days
