YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET,
WITH BE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW.
In weather the most unpropitious, and on ground the
most sodden, was decided the great race of the meeting
yesterday. The racing commenced with the 50t Plate
for two-years-old and upwards, over the last three miles
of the B. C. Morning Star, with Evening Star, Tickton,
and Maria, in close contiguity, raced to the Duke's
Stand, where all had had enough but Maria and Tickton;
the latter then took a slight lead, and was challenged .50
yards from home by Maria, who, however, had not the
shadow of a chance, for Tickton went past the post pull-
ing double, although winning by only a neck. Morning
Star was beaten nearly a score of lengths; and Waver-
ley lost the third place by something like half-a-dozen
lengths more. The remainder, including Evening Star,
Petri!, and the Assault colt, unable to move iu the dirt,
were left far behind. The winner's easy victory found
him a new owner at 300 guineas, which, I fancy, he is
well worth.
In the t ace for the 10 sovs. Sweepstakes over the Cri-
terion course, Old Rowley cut out the work until half-
way up the cords, where Guy Mennerieg took the lead,
and won cleverly by halt a length; Woodland finishing
a good third and last.
The great race of the day next came on for decision,
and 31 competitors came to the post to struggle for
superiority, no less than a dczeu finding backers in the
ring. They got off well together at the first attempt,
and ran, in a compact burly, to within 100 yards of the
Duke's Stand, without any Lulling of consequence having
taken place. This was the result of the badness of the
pace. At this point, however, it commenced with a
vengeance, the held being,in a very little time, scattered
all over the course. Just before reaching the Duke's
Stand, Hobble Noble, clearing his horses, took a-head
of two lengths, which he maintained fur a short distance,
when the Knight of the Shire, who had been running
very forward, came out, passed him in a few strides,
went on by himself, and won with great ease ley a couple
of lengths ; Robbie Noble beating Lady Evelyn, who
bad been gradually drawing to the front for the last dis-
tance, by a length and a half. Babette was a good
fourth, a short half length dividing her and the
Lady ; Herbert an indifferent fifth. Azael, Weather-
gage, and Convulsion, had not the least chance,
the state of the ground having disposed of them
early. The pace, as might naturally be expected, was
bad; time, 2 min. 14 sec. Messrs. Payne, Greville, and
others connected with the winner's stable, win good
stakes. A portion of the aristocratic body likewise
throw in. Bookmakers, for the most part, are said to
be losers.

As many persons may have backed horses after they
were scratched, it may be useful to know the time when
they were struck out. At midnight, on Sunday, the for-
feit list was composed of the following names :—Her-
nandez, Ariosto, Officious, Harbinger. Chief Baron
Nicholson, Adine, Flirt, Lady-Amyott, Young Trouble-
some, Scarecrow, La Gazza Ladra, Cavan, Ammonia,
Dollond, Longinus, and Turmus. Previous to the read-
ing of the list on Monday evening, the following were
the additional scratchings :—Glauca, Stilton, Neasham,
Hungerford, King of Trumps, Hothorpe, Ringleader,
The Italian, Musician, Old English Oak, Athena Pallas,
Butterfly, Bit of Blue, Lindrick, Billy Bar, Plot, Tested,
Henrietta, Hachetee, Cotton Lady, Termagant,Dtvidend,
Jessica, Cornelius, and Madeline. Between that time
and midnight Teddington, Truth, Allegro, Proctor,
Sally, Warfoot colt, King Pepin, and Kate, were also
added to the doleful list.

Yesterday morning, Eliza, Middleton, Grey Tommy,
Miniature filly, Iligh Sheriff, Miss Fanny, Lancaster,
Follow-me-Lads, Puritan, and Isabella, were the last
batch of unfortunates. The remainder wero left in the
finale.

A fine race between Janina, Heroine, and Ploughboy,
for the 10 soya. Stakes, over the last half of the Ab. M.,
terminated in favour of the first named, by only a head;
Heroine beating Ploughboy a short length for second
place, Lady Speedy a good fourth, and Needle fifth.
The Anonymous Letter and Leybourne ran very stale.
Sextua ran away with another Sweepstakes of JO
soya., over the same course as the previous race, beating
his only opponent, Vest, by thrt e lengths.
The D.M. Selling Handicap Sweepstakes was likewise
a one-sided affair, Faux-pas waiting upon Presto into
the cords, and winning, when called upon, very easily
by two lengths.
The 15 soya. Handicap, over the T.Y.C., was won in
the most off-hand style imaginable, by Child-of-the-
Mist; Dividend beating Knavery a length for second
place. The others were stalled off.

The D.I. Handicap Plate brought the day's sport to a
conclusion. They backed Cariboo against the field for
this race, but the dirt most effectually settled him before
they bad run half the distance; Lerry Wheat winning
by a length, Ilex obtaining second place. Cariboo,
Black Doctor, and Houiakin were somewhere or other I
presume, but certainly not within range of my optics.
The field for the Glasgow Stakes to-morrow will not
have more than three starters at the outside, namely,
Speed-the-Plough, West Australian, and Filbert; but
it is not unlikely that the Stakes will terminate in a
compromise and walk over. If it produces a race
Speed-the-Plough will, of course, beat West Australia,
and the latter do the like for Filbert.
The 50 soya. Sweepstakes over the Ab. M. will bo
contested by Glenavon, Nicotine, one of Lord Exeter's,
and Pherold. Sylphine does not run. The first and
second places will he filled by GLENAVON—WiWM the
present state of the ground suits—and NICTORINE.
Angelo, the Consvr&cy Filly, Sittingbourne, and
Knight of the Garter will, I believe, run their respective
matches.

My digest of the Nursery Stakes will appear to-
morrow.

THE FRENCH CURRENCY.

The Debars has the foilavving on the subject of gold,
calling strenuously for a change in the character of the
currency:—
" The assertion that the enormous production of gold
in California, in Australia, and in Siberia, is a transi-
tory phenomenon destined to finish as suddenly as it
commenced, is the romantic exaggeration of an exact
fact—namely, that mines of gold, alluvian mines at
-least, become exhausted more rapidly than other
mines. It is necessary, however, to be endowed with
a superhuman dose of penetration to now perceive in
the mines .of gold recently discovered, any signs of
approaching exhaustion. Has the production fallen
on in any of the gold regions? By no means; it is ra-
ther increasing. According to the last accounts from
California the extraction has never been more active and
more abundant. As far as regards Russia, the gold is
said to exist there in indefinite quantity, the end of
which it is impossible to foresee. As to Australia, the
strata have been scarcely skimmed, and they are every
day found to be more extensive. In a word, we must
prepare ourselves to see, during a considerable lapse of
time, an unheard of production, which will go at least to
200,000 kilogrammes of gold, making 700 millions of
our gold coin; or, at least eight times greater than
what took place at the commencement of the
century, and that while the production of silver scarcely
exceeds what it was 50 years ago. Suppose that this
lapse of time, during which this enormous production
should last, wire to be only 20 years, and that after that
time we should tall back to nearly what we were before,
that would make a mass of 4,000,000 of kilogrammes of
gold which will have been thrown into commerce. It
would be enough to make 700,060.000 of our gold 20f.
Coins. Can it ne conceived that a market can ne found
for this immense mass of gold, unless it is reduced in
value, and 12 grammes of it given in exchange for a
hectolitre of wheat, instead of 6, which is the present
value, or admit the value of the 20f. piece to be
lot.? Let us now say a few words on the outlet which
it is imsgined will bu found for this unusual production
of the precious awe), and which it is supposed will
protect it from any depreciation. It is stated that
certain nations, which have now but little in their
m,netary system, will tike a Isrge proportion of ir,
and that incressing luxury, jewel,, gilding of apart-
ments, and gold embroidery will take the rest. This
presumed market has, however, a very serious defect;
it is too disproportione,i to the object. In the first
place,
set aside the United States, and Russia, which
as gold-producing countries, coin a large amount
of the precious metal, what nation shall we aco
coin extraordinary masses of gold ? On the contrary,
we see governments taking precautions against the
admission of too large a quantity of gold into the me-
chanism of exchanges. Holland, Belgium, and Spain have
done this, and other powers will with reason follow the
example; fur from the moment when gold is threatened
with a loss of its value it is deprived of its distinctive
quality as a monetary metal, for that quality is,
in fact, a fixity cf value. What is the probable
quantity of gold which Russia and the United States
would take on the footing of the present value
of the metal, supposing also that they did not be-
come alarmed ? At the most 600,000 kilogrammes,
even counting what they have already coined, and
very probably less, for that would make more than a
milliard for each country; and they are countries where
paper money circulates to a large amount. When, there-
tore, these two countries shall have absorbed 600,000 kilo-
grammes of line gold in theircoinage,and probably before,
the metal will fill in value. These 600,000 kilogrammes
are the production of three years, according to existing
circumstances. With regard to the luxury reckoned on to
assist in taking off the superfluous quantity,dthsostoo who
make use of this argument are badly

SWINDLING BY A SHIP'S CAPTAIN.—The police
of Paris arrested on Saturday the captain of an English
merchant ship, the Shakspeare, under the following cir-
cumstances:--In March lust the Shakspeare left the port
of Canton, having on board an American. The American
was very badly off, and had no goods; but he and the cap-
tain concocted a scheme for committing a fraud on a grand
scale. On arriving at the Cape of Good Hope, the captain
presented the American to a commercial firm with whom
he was acquainted, end represented to them that he had
on board his ship about 6,0001. worth of goods, which he
paid at

the mate, being an honest man, as it turned out, having
brought her safe home, instead of making any attempt
to destroy her. The two men thereupon deemed it
prudent to fly. The American embarked on board a
vessel which was about to proceed to the East Indies,
whilst the Captain and his wife came to Paris, and
took up their residence in the Champ Blyseee. The
