THE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW'S RACES AT

NEWMARKEr, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slll,—There are five races on the cavd for to-morrow,
three of which will not close and name till this evening;
the starters for the other two are as follows:
Tuesday's Riddlesworth Stakes • ' Ditch Mile. The
Nabob, Bst. 71b. (Nat); Filly by St. Martin, out of Toga,
Bst. 41b. (Norman); Rosary, Bst. 41b., or Mopes, Bst. 71b.
(Robinson); doubtful.
Newmarket Handicap; Clermont Course. Officious,
Harding°, The Proctor, Tophana (d.), Abdethaman,
Corypl-6?, Odessus, Father Thames, The Old Lad, In-
gratitude, The Little Savage, Delia colt, Bardulph, Ca-
racara, Pluck, and Maria. One of Lord Clifden's may
also start:, but having received no definite information on
this bead, I cannot say which, or whether any of his
will go. _
__
... .

The Riddlesworth, as I remarked lest week, will be
WWI by THE Nanos, Lord Clitden's couple are doubt-
ful starters,
in consequenue of being not altogether
sound upon their pins; one, howev,er,
Magnets, in all
probability, may be started for the off (:Hance.l
have hitherto given no very decidedopinion on the
Newmarket Handicap, I will give ray final one now.
The field, as will be been by the list of starters above,
will be somewhere about fifteen in ntuiaber, that is, if
Lord Exeter should start one. As it is possible, in con-
sequence of her not being quite the thing, that I may be
deprived of my former choice, Topeanta I must attempt
to tied a winner elsewhere. Officious and Harchuge
both look mischievous, the former on account of her
speed, and the latter in coneequeece of being jockeyed
by Nat. The Proctor, though he wail receive the
assistance of that eleverjockey, Young Cleburne, I can-
not have for au instant. Abrierhasaan is good for
nothing. Corypaae, as cockboats are very fashionable
things among the sporting writers of the day, I shall
take as my wager boat on the present occasion; in other
words, I consider her to be the only outsider worth an
investment, and as she is in good work, and will be
tooled by a respectable jockey (T. Osborne, I
believe) her chance is by no means a bad
one. Odessus will never do. Father Thames
and the Old Lae are much of a muchness;
both will run well and one mem win, but
I very much doubt the accompliehmeut of such a per-
formance. Ingratitude ought to have a chance now, if
she never possessed one before, but, notwithstanding her
light weight, I do not think her able to beet her com-
petitors in this bout. The Little Savage, called half-
' bred, is a very superior hale fellow, and on this occasion
may show the world that he possesses a good turn of
speed. Mountain Flower, I understand, is in the missing
list. The Delia colt is 01 no acceuut. Bardolph, in the
best form possible, is a dangerous looking animal to
stand against, but I cannot say that I hold him in the
seine bigia estimation his friends and backers du. lam
tolerably well convinced that he will obtain a place, but
have very serious doubts about it being the first one; I
should recommend no liberties being taken with him.
Caracara will figure prominently in the ruck. Poodle is
a doubtful starter. Royalty nag be placed in the same
category. Plumstead, Pluck, and Snarry cannot stand a
chance of winning, when Maria is handicapped at no
mere than 4st. 101 b. To draw any remarks to a conclusion
in the absence of Tophana, I
should select MARIA,
BARDOLPH, and CORIPHEE to occupy the first, second,
and third places; and expect to see the foremost portion
of the ruck consist of The Old Lad, The Little Savage,
Hardinge, and Officious.
The betting has undergone considerable change since
Saturday morning; large sums have been invested on
Bardolph and The Old Lad for the principal handicap,
a good (hal on Lapidist and Sophistry for the Column
Slakes, a moderate amount on Grecian for the Claret,
on Midas and Lamartine tor :he Port, and en Aluoran
for the Thursday's 100 Sovs. Stakes. The following are

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

HARWICH.
On Saturday Sir Fitzroy Kelly, the Solicitor-
General, was elected without opposition to the seat
for this borough, succesively filled and vacated (from
various causes), during the short space of 13 months,
by Sir John Hobhouse, Mr. Thoby Prineep, and Mr.
Wigram Crawford. Nor is the present Learned
Member's connexion with the borough likely to be
of a more enduring character. At best he would only
have held on till the end of the session ; but while in
the act of procuring his return for Harwich the fatal
termination of Lord Rendlesham's illness has created
a vacancy for the eastern division of Sufiblk ; and
although in the negotiations which were pending
with a view to the next Parliament, Sir Fitzroy's
overtures for that seat were not very graciously
received, the leaders of the Conservative party have
in this sudden emergency found him the only man to
their bend, and the form of a requisition, and his
consent to offer himself as a candidate for East
Suffolk, had all been gone through before even the
Hon. Gentleman appeared on the Harwich hustings ;
so that that borough will brobably see another—a
fifth—election even during the remainder of the pre-
sent Parliament.
Of the proceedings of the dsy, in which there was
very little demonstration of feeling, a brief record
will suffice.
Mr. FRANCIS HALES, auctioneer, and Mr. W.
FRESHFIELD, surgeon, respectively proposed and se-
conded Sir Fitzroy Kelly, as a fit and proper person
to represent the borough in Parliament; and the
Mayor (after asking if there was any other candidate
to be proposed) declared the Learned Gentleman to
be duly elected.

Sir FITZROY KELLY, amidst the cheering of his
political partisans, then stood forward and addressed
the assembly, chiefly expatiating upon the capacity of
Harwich Harbour for becoming the great emporium
of commerce in this greatest of commercial countries
—commending the local efforts (in the steps taken for
carrying out the new Pier Bill) to contribute to that
result, and promising all the aid which, as a public
man or as an individual, he could ?fiord to it. Passing
from local to political subjects, the Hon. Member said
he would glance for a very few moments at one or two
of those great questions which were at this moment
agitating the public mind. The country was nolonger
divided into the two great parties of WThig and Tory,
but into two other parties, via., the advocates of free
trade, and those who opposed the further progress of
that system. He should probably be told that it
was premature at the present moment to enter
upon that question, and that it was for the next
Parliament to determine whether that system
which bad already advanced so far shall be
not only continued, but extended, or whether some
attempt should not be made, so to improve, regu-
late, and modify the financial system of this country,
as it affected both commerce and agriculture, as to
do something like equal justice to all classes of her
Majesty's subjects.—(Hear.) But as the time must
come, and that before they were many months older,
when they would have again to select Members to re-
present them in Parliament, it behoved them to give
this question, in elits relative bearings, their best con-
sideration. He wished not to be understood as set-
ting himself against the general principles of the sys-
tem which a deceased statesman introduced into this
country. He believed that that system was right and
just in principle—it was that of equalising. in a fair
ratio, not only the import dud-% but taxation gene-
rally, as diffused among all classes of the population,
whether agricultural, manufacturing,
or commercial.
—(Hear.) But when that which ought to be equal
and well proportioned was carried too far, they
ought to consider whether its effects, so far from
being
beneficial, will not become destructive to the
veryinterests it was intended to support. He knew
he should be told to consider its effects in other
respects, as regarded commerce and navigation
they were favourable. This was a matter of
which those he was addressing were qualified to
judge, and he asked them if those measures—the ex-
cess of them he meant—not the original measures
conducted through Parliament in 1842, 1843, and
1844; but others which had followed, such as the na-
vigation laws, had tended to advance the trade and
prosperity of the harbour, or the success of its ship..
building ?—(Hear, hear, No, no, and a voice--"It
ha'nt done it no hurt.") As to the perhaps more im-
portant question of the corn-laws, they were told that
because 3,000,000 quarters more wheat had beenim-
ported in 1850 than in 1846, that the people of this
country had of necessity eaten that quantity more
bread than in the first-named year—but statistical
returns showed on the other band that the decrease
in the growth of corn in this country had been more
than to the extent of 3,000,000 quarters, so thatin-
stead of that quantity being produced and sold by the
farmers of this country, it had bad to be purchased
with British gold, and foreign growers had reeped
the benefit.—(Hear, hear.) This was a matter upon
which they would do well to bear in mind at the
general election, together with a due regard as to
what men were most likely to be able to advance
their local interests; and for himself, brief as his con-
nexion with the borough would probably be, as long
as he should be able, or in a position to serve it, in a
national point of view, he should feel himself bound,
by every tie of gratitude, to do so.—(Cheers.)
The proceedings closed with the usual rounds of
cheers for the new Member, the Mayor, and other
popular favourites ; and about en hour afterwards the
Hoo. Member started for the Manningtree station, on
his return to town.

BRISTOL.—We still remain without a Tory candi-
date, Mr. Hubbard, the deputy governor of the Bank
of England, who was so confidently spoken of last
week, being now out of the field. Various reasons
are assigned for the withdrawal of the gentleman, but
the explanation given by the leading Tories is that he
was found to be a Puseyite, which circumstance
would place entirely out of the question any support
from the Evangelical section of the Church of Eng-
land. There is now a talk of getting up a requisi-
tion to the present Conservative Member, Mr. P. AV.
S. Miles, requesting him, in the difficulty into which
the party has been thrown, to forego his intention of
resigning. The Liberal candidates, Mr. Berkeley
and Mr. Langton, are certain of success.
BODMIN.—In addition to the four candidates already
in the field (Mr. Wyld, Mr. Lacy, the Hon. Captain
Vivian, and Mr. Henderson), two other gentlemen
have " come out"—Mr. Capel Whitehurst and Mr. J.
Sidney Smith, the latter being a Protectionist.
CHATHAM.—On Thursday evening a meeting of
the electors of Chatham was held at the Chest Arms
Tavern, to receive a communication from the Liberal
candidate, Mr. Romaine, relative to his intention of
retiring from the contest. Dr. Ely was called to the
chair, and the large room was densely crowded on the
occasion. Mr. Romaine, after thanking his friends
.ee_
for their kindness and the support which had
hand
in
offered him, said, from the experience he had
the course of his canvass, he felt it to
for a gentleman
.. of
in-

Mr. Romaine for introducing him to the electors, Sir

and Lord Mulgrave, the meeting separated.
CARDIGAN DISTRICT or BOROUGHS. Mr. Pryse
Loveden has completed the canvass of these boroughs,
which consist of Cardigan, Aherystwitb, Adper, and
hammer, with every probability of success, although
a contest is not unlikely, as John Inglis Jones, Esq.,
of Derry Ormond, has, in compliance with a requisi-
tion from some of the electors, come forward as a
candidate on the Conservative interest, and has com-
menced a canvass, but from the preponderating in•
fluence, of the families of _Fuse and Powell in this
district, which they have always exerted in favour
of the Liberal side, there is but a very small chance of
Mr. Jones's ultimate success, even if he should go to
the poll, which is doublul.
EAST CUMBERLAND.—The Carlisle Journal states,
that an attempt is to be made by the Tories to get up,
at the suggestion of Lord Lonsdale, a requisition to
Mr. G. 11. Head, soliciting him to COUlt• .oTiVad for
East Cumberland. The present Members,
Howard and Marshall, it is generally supposed' °
ever, are secure of re-electiom. that

GREFNWICH.—The requisition to Mr. Chambers,
to allow himself to be again nominated as a candidate
for the representation of the borough of Greenwich,
has been signed by nearly 1,300 electors, who pledge
themselves to use every endeavour to secure his elec-
tion. Of this number, we understand, above 500
persons voted on the last occasion for Admiral
Stewart, when Mr. Chambers obtained 1,244 votes ;
and although the whole of the electors who voted for
Mr. Chambers at the late election have not signed the
requisition, there is not one instance where any objec-
tion has been made to again vote for Mr. Chambers.
His cause is gaining strength daily, and his supporters
are working in his favour with zeal, activity, and
efficiency. The leading Reformers of the borough,
who stood aloof from taking any active part in the
last election, are one after 'another giving their adhe-
sion to his party.—Kentish Mercury.
GnEENocK —At a meeting of the electors of
Greenock on Thursday, resolutions were passed' de-
claring confidence in Lord Melgund. His Lordship
was present, and a committee was appointed for con-
ducting his canvass.
LezunEru.:—The following address has been exten-
sively circulated :—" We, the undersigned electors of
the borough of .Lambeth, feeling convinced that any
attempt to re-impose a tax on the food of the people
will meet with the firm and uncompromising opposi-
tion of our present Members, the Right Hon. Charles
Tennyson D'Eyncouo-, and W. Williams, Esq., and
assured also that their continued efforts will be used
to amend our representative system, promote financial
reform, and adopt measures for the advancement of
civil and religious liberty, do earnestly invite the co-
operation of the eleetere and non-electors at large to
secure the return of those gentlemen as our represen-
tatives in the ensuing Parliament." The Lambeth
people, sinking all minor differences, have determined
to return their present Members; and to the above
address there are already the signatures of upwards
of a thousand of the most influential men in the
borough.
NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. The Nottingham
Journal says that Lord Robert Clinton is prosecuting
his canvass with so much success that his return for
the division is almost certain.
NOTTINGHAM.--Tbere are now three candidates for
this borough, Mr. Walter, Mr. Strutt, and Mr. Girl-
borne. From their addresses, says the Nottingham
Journal, it might be difficult to choose amongst them,
for all are Free-traders, and all are Reformer., the dif-
ference in the latter respect being only in degree, and
in the former none at al/.
NORTH Devon.—The Devon and Exeter Protec-
tion Society have threatened the constituency of this
division of the county with a second Protectionist
candidate in the person of Mr. George Stuckley
Buck, son of the present Member (L. W. Buck,
Esq.), in opposition to Sir Thomas Acland, who has
confessed hitn-elf staunch to free-trade principles.
After a great.deal of exertions on the part of theiPro-
tection Society to get up such a requisition as would
induce Mr. Buck to stand, the affair has ended
in a total failure the candidate is with-
drawn, and the Protectionists are looking abroad
for somebody else. Sir Thomas Acland will be sure
to be re-elected it is said. If the Protectionists had
not withdrawn their man, the Liberal party, which is
very strong in the north of Devon, would have pro-
bably brought forward lames Wentworth Buller,
Esq., of Downes (chairman of the Bristol and Exeter
Railway) ; and it is asserted that he would have
been returned in conjunction with Sir T. Acland.
The Protectionists are now under great apprehension
lest the Hon. Gentleman should be introduced.

PAISLEY.-0a Wednesday evening a meeting of the
electors and non-electors of Paisley was held in the
United Presbyterian Church, St. James's-street, for
the purpose of hearing Mr. Haly, who has come forward
in opposition to Mr. A. Hastie. Bailie Telford occupied
the chair. Mr. Hely avowed himself in favour of
free trade, household suffrage, vote by ballot, and
triennial Parliaments. He was opposed to the en-
dowment of Maynootb, and would, if elected, vote for
its repeal. The sentiments of Mr. Elaly appeared to
meet with a favourable reception ; and a motion that
he was a fit and proper person to represent Paisley in
Parliament was passed unanimously. Mr. Hely, who
practises at the English bar, is known as a clever
political writer in some of our leading reviews and
daily journals.—North British Mail.
PRESTON.—Various communications have passed
between Henry Raikes, Esq., of Chester, and the
committee of the Preston Conservative Association
and Registration Society, with a view to his introduc-
tion to the electors of this borough as a Conservative
candidate. Mr. Raikes is son of the venerable Chan-
cellor Raikes, of Chester, and is himself registrar of
that diocese. He was an unsuccessful candidate for
the representation of Derby at the last general elec-
tion.—Preston Chronicle.
SOUTH HANTS.—Tee Conservatives have resolved
to send a requisition to Lord Henry Cholmondeley,
to come forward as candidate for South Hants, and
there is every reason to believe his Lordship will
comply with such a requisition, and stand as a col
league with Mr. Compton in contesting the county.
As the requisitionists to Lord Henry will be the prin-
cipal persons who brought forward Lord Charles
Wellesley, it is presumed that the latter will shortly
cease to be connected with South Hants. Sir John
Barker Mill, Bart., and the principal of the Liberals
of South Hunts, will hold a meeting at Matcham's
Hotel, in Southampton, on Wednesday next, to adopt
preliminary measures to secure the election of Sir
George Staunton, Bart., far the southern division of
Hampshire.
SHREWSBURY.—Mr. Shiney, who has so long re-
presented this borough in Parliament, has, this day
( ri day )
, published a valedictory address to his con-
stituents, in which he intimates his intention, at the
close of the present session, to retire into private
life. Mr. Tomline, who represented the borough
from 1841 till the general election in 1847, when he
was defeated by a small majority, bas, during the last
three days, been canvassing the electors upon free-
trade principles with the most complete success. His
eleetion may be looked on as certain. Mr. Baldock,
one of the present Members for the borough, and
Mr. Heathcote are also actively canvassing upon the
most ultra-Tory principles ; party spirit runs very

as colleague of. Mr. Bernie Cochrane. It is intended

MARCH. 30.—A most lamentable occur-
rence in the loss of the Steamer Porto (Portuguese)
has thrown this city into the greatest consternation,
all her passengers STEAMER
(3G in number) having perished,
and only seven of her crew saved. That unfortunate
vessel sailed from this on Sunday morning for Lis-
bon, and from some cause or another bore up again
after being as far south as Figueira, and on taking
the bar last evening about six o'clock she struck on
some rocks called the " Forcados," inside the bar,
when the anchor was let go, but somehow or other
she drifted, and, not answering her helm, she got em-
bedded in a reel of rocks, where no aid could be sent
to her; and, night coming on, she went to pieces in
a few hours. Among the sufferers are Mr. Joseph
Allen, of this place, and two daughters ; Mr. Ander-
son, from London, shipowner, who was here on ac-
count of the Harriet, bound to Australia; Mons.
Destrees, French Consul at this port ; Mr. Ander-
son's nephew; Senhor Jose Augusto da Silveira
Pinto, nephew of the well-known S,nhor Albano, of
Lisbon ; Senbor Anionic) Jose Placid() Braga; Sen-
hor Francisco Vieira de Sousa Oliveira, of the Com.

As yet no bodies have been picked up.

Some of the leading Australian Gold Mining Com-
panies have already applied for Royal Charters of incorpo-
tion, and we believe that others are about to follow the ex-
ample.. As the responsibility of the shareholders will be
thereby limited to the amount for which they have

will lead to an increased demand for shares in the compa-
