THE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW'S RACES AT

NEWMARKET, &c.

TO TILE EDITOR OF T HE SUN.
Sia,—There are five races on the card 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, B,t. 71b. (Nat); Filly by St. Martin, out of Toga,
Bst. 41b. (Norman); Rosary, Bst. 41b., or Magnes, Bst. 711).
(Robinson); doubtful.
Newmarket Handicap; Clermont Course. Officious,
Hardinge, The • Proetor, Tophana (d.), Abderhaman,
Corypl Odessus, Father Thames, The Old Lad, In-
gratitude, The Little Savage, Delia colt, Bardolph, Ca-
recant, Pluck, and Maria. One of Lord Clifden's may
also start, but having received no definite information on
this head, I cannot say which, or whether any of his
will go.
The Riddlesworth, as I remarked last week, will be
won by TILE NAnon.
Lord Clifden's couple are doubt-
ful starters, in consequence of being not altogether
sound upon their pins; one, however, Mapes, in all
probability, may be started for the off chance.
I have hitherto given no very decided opinion on the
Newmarket Handicap, I will give pay final ono now.
The field, as will be seen by the list of starters above,
will be somewhere about fifteen in number, 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 toy former choice, Tophana, I must attempt
to find a winner elsewhere. Officious and Hardinge
both look mischievous, the former on account of her
speed, and the latter iu consequence of being jockeyed
by Nat. The Proctor, though he will receive the
assistance of that clever jockey, Young Osborne, I can-
not have for an instant. Abderhainan is good for
nothing. Corypt 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
to be the only
words, I consider her outsider worth an
investment, and as oho 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 Lad are much of a muchness;
both will run well and ono may win,bat
I very much doubt the accomplishment 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 beat her com-
petitors in this bout. 'The Little Savage, called halt-
bred, is a very superior little fellow, and on this occasioa
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 of no account. Bardolph, in the
beet form possible, is a dangerous looking, animal to
stand against, but I cannot say that I hold him in the
same high estimation his friends and backers do. lam
tolerably well convinced thatlie 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 nick. Poodle is

chance of winning, when Maria is handicapped at no

more than 4st. 10Ib. To draw my remarks to a conclusion,
1 sit,aiurtmers.tead,
in the absence of Tophana, I should select MARIA,
BARDOLPII, and CORIPIIHE to occupy the first, second,
and third places; and expect to ace 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 that on Lapidist and Sophistry for the Column
Stakes, a moderate amount on Grecian for the Claret,
on Midas and Lamartine for the Port, and on Alcoran
for the Thursday's 100 Soya. Stakes. The following are
the latest quotations:—Craven Stakes-6 to 4 each agst

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

HARWICH.

; 1J .10 4

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 Ilohhouse Mr. Thoby Prinsep, 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 bis return for Harwich the fatal
termination of Lord Rendlesham's illness has created
a vacancy for the eastern division of Suffolk ; 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 hand, and the form of a requisition, and his
consent to offer himgelf as a candidate for East
Suffolk, had all been gone through before even the
Hon. entleman 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 day, in which there was
very little demonstration of feeling, a brief record
will suffice.

Mr• FaANCIS HALES, auctioneer, and ➢lr. W.
FuEstinELD, 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 it 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 ccrnmercial 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 afford 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 no longer
divided into the two great parties of Whig and Tory,
but into two other parties, viz,, 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 had 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 alliits 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 duties, 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
very interests 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 bad 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 been im-
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 that in-
stead of that quantity being produced and sold by the
farmers of this country, it had had to be purchased
with British gold, and foreign growers had reaped
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, io 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 tor the new Member, the Mayor, and other
popular favourites ; and about an hour afterwards the
Hon. 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. W.
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. \Vyld, Mr. Lacy, the lion. Captain
Vivian, and Mr. Henderson), two other gentlemen
have " come out"—Mr. Capel Whitehurst and Mr. J.
Sidney Smith, the latter being a Protectionist.
CHATIIAM.-011 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 friendsbeen
for their kindness and the support which had been
in
offered him, said, from the experience he hadherl,ll.
the course of his canvass, he felt it to be totiteiniu:

and Lord Mulgrave, the meeting separated. •
CARDIGAN DISTRICT OF BOROUGHS. Mr. Pryse
Loveden has completed the canvass of these boroughs,
which consist of Cardigan, Aberystwith, Adper, and
Lampeter, 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 Pryse 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 doubtful.
EAST CUMBERLAND.—Tho 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. H. Head, soliciting him to come forward for
East Cumberland. The present Members, Messrs.
Howard and Marshall, it is generally supposed, how-
ever, are secure of re-el,.•ctiom.
