BOROtGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Full average supplies of home-grown potatoes have been
received at this mark 3t siace our last report. The imports
from abroad have been moderate for the time of year—vis.,
104 sacks from Rouen, 215 tons from Dunkirk, 138 tons
from Brussels, 93 tons from Louvaino, and 1 bag from
Calais. The trade, generally speaking, rules quiet, yet
very little change has taken place in prices compared with
Monday last.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL FOR DOG STEALING.—James Kearney,
described as a shoemaker, of 14, Fitzroy-place, was charged
befoi e Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a dog of the value of £5,
the property of John Needham, coachman to a gentleman
named Arnold, whose stables are in Harley-mews.
The prosecutor went into a publichouse on Saturday after-
noon with a friend and the prisoner followed them in, and
shortly after left, taking the prosecutor's dog with him. On
the prosecutor going outside to look fo, his dog he was in-
formed by a cabman that a man had gone off with it. The
police were communicated with, and prisoner was found and
taken into custody, but the dog could not be traced. This
morning, however, a person went to the publichouse and
left the dog with the batman, and it was now produced in
court.

The barman at the publichouse said that he observed the
prisoner and another man talking together in front of the
bar, and the prisoner then put something under the other
man's coat, and they le't the house together.
Henry Bradbury, a cab driver, said the prisoner was the
man he noticed leave with the dog.

The prisoner set up a most rambling defence, and Mr.
Tyrwhitt committed him for two months with hard labour,
informing him at the same time, that if he came before him
again ho would go to the sessions.

SPORTING NOTES.

The Newmarket Spring Meeting commences to-day, but
the events to be decided are not of the smallest importance.
The Two Thousand Guineas which will be run tomorrow
will bring out all the phases of Newmarket life in great pro-
minency, as it is the gala day of the siring, and every anni-
versary of it is recoliected as that of the St. Leger in York-
shire. The field will be eelected from the following, and
perhaps one or two outsiders may put in an appearance at
the last moment :

Horse. Trainer. Rider.
Hospodar Jennings Geo. Fordham.
Maccaroni Godding T Challoner.
Blue Mantle Harlock H. Grimshaw,
Saccharometer Channel J Goater.
Melrose Scott J Osborne.
King of the Vale Hay hoe J Wells.
Rapid Rhone T. Dawson T. Alderoft.
Physalis colt T. Dawson J Doyle.
Escape ..
Tom Fool Stinton A. Day.
Onesander... . J Dawson A. Edwards.

Count Cavour J Watson J Snowden.
Hospodar, the first favourite, before he came out and beat
Early Purl and Co., was tried higher than any horse that
has been tried at Newmarket for many years, and the rush
to get on him for the Derby amongst those cognisant of
the fact was very great. Both in the Clearwell and the
Criterion he fully realised the anticipations which such a
spin had engendered, and he has ever since remained with
tolerable firmness in the market. The little work he was
doing at one time rather encouraged the layers, and
elevated the hopes of Saccharometer's friends, but sine then
Jennings has seemed determined to make up for lost time,
and he has been sent along, so that there need be no appre-
hension of his fitness; and with Fordham on his back, his
fine propelling powers and great speed, I am at a loss to
find a better representative in the coming contest. Saccha-
rometer's escutcheon, like that of Hospodar, has never been
tarnished by defeat, as he won the Newmarket Two Year
Old Plate, the July, and the Chesterfield, the only three
races for which he ran, the two former easily, and the
Chesterfield after a contest which proved him to be a real
honest herse. Both his noble owner and trainer are fond
of him, and from his last year's performances he is bound to
run well. Maccaroni, beaten easily by Automaton when
amiss last year, justified the good :opinion his stable
expressed of him the other day, when he beat a pod field
easily on the home ground, his opponents including three
good performers like Valentine, the Giraffe colt, and Le
Marechal, Neither of these could make him gallop, and
we think the heavy sums of money intrusted to him for a
" place " are likely to be safely landed. Blue
Mantle was in tremendous force during the Ascot
week last year, and had he not run for the July and
Chesterfield, and been reserved for the Houghton engage-
ment, he would perhaps have been in a different position in
both markets at the present time. No horse has done better
than Blue Mantle during the winter, and if in anything
like his Ascot form he must be with the leading favourites,
if not the actual winner. Melrose is "dark," and as there
was little or no mention made of him until Early Purl met
with an accident (happily one of little account, and from
which he has since recovered), a short time since, I cannot
regard his chance as worth much. Rapid Rhone and the
colt by Young Melbourne, dam by Gameboy out of Phy-
salis, will both run in Lord Glasgow's interest, and if Rapid
Rhone is better than the latter he must get a place. Count
Cavour only ran twice, viz., at Beverley, for the Bishop
Burton Stakes, which he won, beating nothing, however,
of any note ; and at the Curragh, when, owing to his having
had a bad sea passage, he was easily beaten for the An-
glesey Stakes by Roman Bee and Double X. The Count
is a gcod-looking horse, and being by Longbow, the best
looking sire at Newmarket, mat of Sister to Satirist, ought
to race. King of the Vale is the best shaped big horse
I have seen since the days of his grandsire, the
celebrated Harkaway, but he is deficient in the quality
of the latter, and as neither his legs nor feet are adapted
for hard ground I think he will not show to so much ad-
vantage in this race as he did in the contest with Gladstone
and Oscar, his clever defeat of whom would otherwise en •
title him to great consideration. Escape, after his Epsom
exhibition, will hardly run, independent of which, such a
shifty gentleman is not worth a thought, as Sing of the
Vale, through Gladstone, alone holds him safe. From the
above remarks it will be seen that I prefer the chances of
Hospodar, Blue Mantle, and Saccharometer, and I should
not be surprised to see them run first, second, and third.
But for the reasons stated in my opening remarks, I will
place my sole reliance on
HOSPODAR,

and if he is defeated, I expect it will be by BLUE MANTLE.
In the Sweepstakes of 300 soya each, over the Beacon
Course, there are five 4-yr-olds engaged, two of which,
Ellangowan and Duntroon, are hors de combat, and as
Balder cut up wretchedly last week, Lacydes has only to
beat Freeholder to place the stakes to the credit of Lord
Stamford. The Coffee Room Stakes of 50 soya each will
probably fall to Villafranca. The Free Handicap on the
Rowley wile, for which eight horses accepted, seems
likely to fall to Atherstone or General Hess, the
latter's recent running in the City and Suburban entitling
him to the preference. The principal race in the list for
Wednesday is the Newmarket Two-Yr-Old Plate, for which
76 youngsters are entered, only the following 14 of which
have yet run :—Vandervelde, Clairvoyants, Whitefield,
Faith, Royston, Cosette, Sacrilege, Garotter, Netball°,
Yates, Queen of the Vale, Langford, Ramrod, and Vacuna.
The three former are each penalised 51b, which precludes
their chance of winning; and the best of the remainder are
Faith and Sister to Queen of the Vale, the latter of whom I
expect to see win. The nine horses nominated for the
Prince of Wales's Stakes are, with the exception of Not-
tingham, very moderate, and failing his running, which is
doubtful, Citadel ought to win. Malek is not likely to op-
pose either Buckenham or Harlequin for the 50 sovs Sweep-
stakes on the last three miles of the Beacon Course; and
the 50 says Sweepstakes on the Ditch mile is at the mercy
of Lord Stamford with either Oscar or Cassidia; while
Revolver ought to be good enough to dispose of Ssa
King, Dunkeld, Gaulois, and Vivo le Reins for
the 50 soya Sweepstakes, Across the Flat. In the
Weight for Age Sweepstakes in the Rowley mile,
Biondella, Little Lady, and Wingrave are engaged, the
latter of wham will stay the distance best. For Thursday
there aro eight races in the list, the principal of which is
the One Thousand Guinea Stakes, for which 66 fillies are
nominated, with a likelihood of only the following fourteen
reaching the starting post :

Probable Riders.
Lady Augusta
Tornado G. Fordham
Amelia
Oadeau .. —

Columba
Gold Dust
Pease Me Not
Ch fby Teddington out of Sage's dam .... Custance
B fby Young Melbourne out of Brown Bess T. Aldcroft
Cratton Lass
Alice
Br f by Stockwell out of Miranda J. Water
Villafranca....
Of these only Amelia, Grafton Lass, Gold Dust, and Villa-
franca have run this year, and each of the three first
named won her engagement in the Craven week, while
Villafranca won hers at Paris. Amelia beat Canace and
Cassidia so easily for the 50 soya Sweepstakes on the
T.Y.C. that I regard her to have a better chance than
Crafton Lass or Gold Dust, neither of whom I suspect are
as good as Villafranca. To estimate the chance of the
others, their running last year must be referred to, by
which it will be seen that the race on public form will lay
between TORNADO, LADY AUGUSTA, AMELIA, and VIL-
LAFRANCA ; and as TORNADO was undoubtedly the best
performer last year, I shall trust to her alone to carry me
through. The other items to be decided are of very little
importance.
