FURTHER PARTICULARS OF MONDAY'S RACES.

Cambridgeshire Stakes.—After several false starts, occa-
sioned chiefly by Revoke, the:lot got away in good style, Sca-
mander, Opera, Cara, and Revoke taking the front ; they ran
thus into the bottom, when Scamander cut it, and was soon
several lengths behind with the Turquoise filly. At the turn of
the lands, Lanercost went on with the running at a strong
pace, followed by Mickleton Maid, Revoke, Hetman Platoff,
and several others; after passing the Duke's Stand, Hetman
took second place, and in this manner they finished, Lanercost
winning cleverly by a length, Hetman second, and Mickleton
Maid about a length behind ;;Quicksilver and Lord Exeter's
were fourth and fifth, two or three lengths astern of Mickleton
Maid. The two great prizes have thus travelled from New-
market, the one to Ireland and the other to Scotland.

Criterion.—There were as many failures and as much delay
(half an hour) in this as in the last race, Crucifix having shewn
a strong disinclination to start. At the last and successful at-
tempt, Pocahontas took the lead, followed by Gibraltar, the
others being welt laid up, with the exception of Crucifix, who
lost several yards. Pocahontas maintained her lead to the
Duke's Stand, where Crucifix took it from her, and imme-
diately after, Gibraltar, passing her, went into close waiting
on the favourite ; at the cords he got to her head, and there he
remained to the finish, making it a dead heat. Pocahontas
was an indifferent third, Brother to Alemdar fourth, and Grey
Milton fifth. Crucifix afterwards walked over, and Lord G.
Bentinck and Gen. Yates divided the stakes.

Handicap.—l-am-not-aware made play till half way up the
cords, when Flambeau, who had been on the waiting order,
came out and won cleverly by a length.
The weather, until one o'clock, was cold and stormy, and
doubtless kept many away; the attendance, notwithstanding,
was very numerous—that it was fashionable also, the following
list will prove:—Dukes of Rutland and Portland; Marquisses
of Exeter and Normanby, Lords Jersey, Orford, J. Fitzroy,
George Bentinck, Godolphin, Lynedoch, Stradbroke, C. Man-
ners, %V. Paulett, Villiers, Lichfield (and Countess), Osborne,
Albemarle (and Countess), Miltown, &c. ; Sirs J. Shelley
and S. Graham ; Honourables Gen. Grosvenor, G. S. Byng,
G. Anson, G. Fitzroy, H. Rous, Woodhouse, and Colonel
Peel; Messrs. C. Wilson (and Lady), C. Greville, Payne,
Irby, S. Stanley, Newton, Newton, jun., Thornhill, Portman,
Hawker, Foulis, J. Bayly, Gardnor, Worrall, Cremmelin,
Ramsay, Elwes, Bowes, M.P., Etvrall, M.P., Rathbone, Ne-
ville, Batson, &e.

Fortunately for the company the rain kept off during the race

RECOMMENDATION OF A SILVER
STANDARD, BY EARL STANHOPE, FOR
ESTABLISHING A SECURE AND ADE-
QUATE CURRENCY.

The plan which is proposed by the resolutions here-
unto annexed would establish such a currency as the
wants of the country require, would reader small notes
secure, and thus obviate the objections which have been
hitherto urged against them, and would be attended
with the advantages which may be clearly and concisely
stated as follows :
With respect to the Silver Standard.

1. Silver is harder and less subject to wear than gold.
2. Silver, being of much inferior value to gold, is
much less liable to clipping and other practices by
which the value of coin may be fraudulently diminished.
3. Silver having greater weight and bulk in propor-
tion to its value than gold, encourages the use of paper
money, which is the cheapest currency, and may be
rendered as secure as any other.

4. Silver, from the inconvenience of attending its
weight and bulk, is not liable to be demanded to the
same amount as gold from banks.

5. Silver when coined, not being subject like gold
coin to a premium in foreign markets, is less liable to be
exported.
6. Silver being the standard in most, if not in all,
other countries of Europe, is best qualified to adjust
the foreign exchanges.

7. Silver was formerly in this country a legal ten-
der for all sums.

It is therefore proposed that silver should be a legal
tender in all payments to the amount of 251. by tale,
and to any amount by weight, so that any person who
receives in payment silver coin by weight would suffer
no loss by coin having become through wear of a
lower intrinsic value.
And that silver should, as at present, be coined at
ss. 6d. per ounce, all payments in silver coin having
far the last twenty years been made in coin of that
value, and the amount of such payments having been
regulated thereby.
With respect to Gold Goin.

J. Gold coin which, at the will of the holder, may lie
exported or melted, never was the standard in this
country till the year 1816.

2. Gold coin would be rendered unnecessary, by
notes which arc properly secured, and are of the same
denominations as the prebent gold coins.
3. Gold coin would occasion a great expense to
the country without any corresponding advantage.
4. Gold coin would, if silver becomes the standard,
be subject to fluctuations of value, and would thereby
create speculations which might be detrimental to the
public welfare.
5. Gold coin having (by the Act of the 56th of
Geo. 111., c. 68) been raised in value nearly six per
,ent. in proportion to that which it bore, as compared
`•h silver in the foreign markets, affords a great encou-
L to its exportation.
•Nroposed that the coinage of gold
^dl, and that gold coin shall
ACed by royal pro-
' ,arded gold

ragemenk,

It is therefore r
shall in future be probith..._
not be current after a day to be
clamation, so that any person who has u-
coin inly be induced to bring the same into circuh..
but gold coin might at any time be sold as bullion.
