SPORTING NOTES.

WEDNESDAY'S SPORT AT NEWMARKET.
The sport appointed to be decided on Wednesday pre-
sents no especial "feature" of attraction ; still it will be
neither uninteresting nor unimportant, and the only
shortcomings will be in the supply, not in the quality.
The list contains nine events, including one match and
four unclosed stakes. The appearance of West Austra-
lian among the competitors for the "Triennial" for three.
year-olds will exercise a diminishing effect on the field.
His starting is probable, and should he go to the post,
his success will be certain. His running and the nume-
rical strength of the field, however, will be materially
regulated by the result of the race for the Grand Duke
Michael.
The 200 Sovs. Produce Sweepstakes will, perhaps,
be carried off by Sortie. The St. Leger, although most
insignificant in comparison with its Great Northern pro-
totype, is likely to occasion a somewhat interesting
betting race ; yet its intended competitors possess only
the slenderest racing pretensions. Lord Exeter has four
nominations, including the names of Filbert, Cobnut,
and Nutpecker. His lordship's stable will therefore be
fully represented ; probably by two horses. I am, how-
ever, on this occasion, induced to desert his colours and
do battle with Rackapelt.
Weathercock may have a favourable turn for the 50
Sovs. Sweepstakes, although it is expected that the race
will occasion a demonstration of applause.
King Pepin is regarded with strong prejudice by the
cognoscenti of Newmarket, and his Cesarewitch chance
is spoken of with much ridicule. The horse was for
some time trained here ; it is, therefore, reasonable to
suppose that they had frequent opportunities of forming
a pretty accurate estimation of his ability. He is described
by all manner of " uproarious epitaphs ;" some persons
calling him a pig of a horse, others noisily maintaining
that he never went more than four miles an hour, and
that was when he travelled in a van. A report is widely
circulated to the effect that just prior to the Warwick
Meeting King Pepin was tried with Little Harry, who
gave him 101bs, and was easily beaten !
!The "man in the street" is very "sweet" on Ner
vous and Nutshell for the Cesarewitch ; he is, however,
remarkable for the strangeness of his fancies.
Seahorse was at exercise this morning in company
with another "foreigner." He is a good looking
powerfully-made horse, and the style in which he takes
his work is sufficient to justify the partiality which cer-
tain experienced judges have expressed for his Cam-
bridgeshire chance. Whether he will prove another
Turnus, however, yet remains to be seen.
P.S.—Newmarket, Monday Night, 11 p.m.—l have
just received intelligence that West Australia is
"scratched" for the Triennial Stakes, for three-yrs-old.
The remarks which I made respecting his chance are,
therefore of little worth. Sittingbourne's running will
of course depend materially on the result of the Grand
Duke Michael. Pelion is the next noteworthy animal,
and after him I should "go " for Talfourd. Many visi-
tors have arrived by the evening train, and there is
every indication of a full and successful meeting.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND NARROW ESCAPE OF THE
FRENCH AMBASSADOR.— Win. Ward, ironmonger, Tot-
tenham, and John Kitchen, licensed victualler, Totten-
ham-park, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham,
charged with being drunk, and furious driving, and
thereby causing the death of a valuable horse, the pro-
perty of his Excellency the French Ambassador.
Thomas Burton, coachman to his Excellency, stated
that, about 20 minutes to nine, last night, he was driv-
ing a horse and brougham, in which was his Excellency,
down Regent-street, on the proper side of the road,
when all at once he saw a horse and cart, containing the
defendants, coming very fast in a contrary direction to
that which he was going. Witness pulled his horse up
as soon as he could, and had hardly done so when the
shaft of defendant's cart ran into his horse's chest, and
killed it on the spot. The value of the horse is 130
guineas. As soon as the occurrence took place, he and
the footman got off the box, and the latter let his Ex-
cellency out of the brougham, while witness ascertained
the names and addresses of the defendants. The defend.
ant Kitchen, who was driving, was, by the force of the
collision, thrown out of the cart, and both of the de-
fendants were the worse of liquor.
Jonathan Ingram, footman to his Excellency, corro-
borated the evidence of last witness, and added that
the defendants were driving at the rate of ten miles an
hour.

The defendants denied being drunk, and Kitchen at-
tributed the occurrence as the result of an accident.
Inspector Monckton proved that both of the defend-
ants were decidedly drunk.
Mr. Bingham said the charge had been completely
and satisfactorily proved against Kitchen, the driver of
the horse and cart, and he (Mr. Bingham) was sorry the
law allowed him to fine him (the defendant) no higher
penalty than 405., or seven days, for furious driving,
and 101. for the damage. The latter penalty he should
not inflict, but leave it to the owner of the horse to
bring his action in one of the superior courts. As to
the defendant Ward, he should discharge him.

RE-OPENING OF OXFORD-STREET.—The relayinc, of
granite blocks at the lower portion of Oxford-street,' be-
tween Tottenham-court-road and Charles-street, Soho-
square, having been completed, the thoroughfare has re-
opened for traffic, to the great convenience of the im-
mense mass of public and other vehicles of all descrip-
tions traversing this important line of road to and from
all parts of the City and west end of the town. The
works above the Regent-circus are progressing rapidly.
CLOSING OF MORE THOROUGHFARES.—The length of
Punter-street and Judd-street is closed for the purpose
of paving those thoroughfares with granite. This step
has, at the recommendation of Mr. R. Champ, the dis-
trict surveyor, been adopted, the old M'Adam proving
inadequate to the traffic of the heavy goods vans to and
from the two railway stations, the Great Northern and
North-Western.

Hon.—The following letter has been addressed to us
by Mr. It. Disher, jun. :—" Borough, Sept. 26.—Sir,—
The storm of wind last night has done great injury to
the hop plantations. Yearlings have advanced about
10s. per cwt. There are about 1,000 pockets new hops
at market. Sussex, Si. Bs, ; Wealds, 91. 10s. ; Mid.
and East gents, 101. to 121. There is a great demand
for fine old olds, 1846 and 1847, which fetch from 655. to
80s. and 845., factors' prices. Duty, 140,0001."
LOSS OP THE ENGLISH SHIP CLEOPATRA. —Letters re-
ceived yesterday from St. John's, New Brunswick,
communicate the total loss of the British ship Cleopatra,
Captain Levitre master, from Liverpool, abandoned on
fire, on the night of the 3rd inst., off the Banks of New-
foundland, the master, and crew being rescued by the
United States war sloop the Dectaur, which fortunately
happened to be cruising off the Banks at the time. The
Cleopatra was upwards of 1,000 tons burthen. She was
bound to Quebec in ballast, and was 24 days out from
Liverpool when fallen in with by the American war sloop,
the commander of which, on discovering her condition,
sent two officers and a number of hands to assist in get-
ting the ship into the nearest port. She had sprung a
leak, and her crew were in a most distressing condition
from incessant working at the pumps. At midnight
Commander Whitling, observed a great light in the di-
rection the Cleopatra had steered when she parted com-
pany the previous evening, he bore down, and shortly
came up with a wreck on her beam ends, and on fire.
It proved to be the vessel. A gale of wind had thrown
the ship over on her beams, and those in charge being
unable to right her ; they lighted tar barrels to sig-
nalise assistance, and in the course of the night the ves-
sel caught fire from the burning tar barrels. The Decatur
came alongside as close as possible, and all hands were
taken off in safety. In about two hours afterwards the
burning wreck went down in deep water. Her crew
saved nothing from the vessel whatever. She was re-
ported to be amply insured. •
RAILWAY A OCIDENT. —COE ONER'S INQUEST. —An in-
quest was held last night at St. Thomas's Hospital, on
the body of Walter Chamberlain, a guard on the North
Kent Railway, who, it appeared from the evidence, was
found on the top ofthe fifth carriage from the engine of the
train on Saturday night last, on its arrival at the Lon-
don-bridge ticket platform, with his leg broken. He
was immediately conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital,
but by the time he arrived there life was extinct, and
upon a post mortem examination being made it was dis-
covered that the liver and kidneys were injured, and
that a great quantity of blood had been effused into the
cavity of the belly. The immediate cause of this fatal
accident is supposed to have arisen from the deceased
having missed his carriage, and, while attempting to
make his way to it over the tops of the other carriages,
came in contact with the bridge which crosses the line
at Charlton. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci-
dental death."

FRANCE.

The Emperor and the Empress, after having
passed the night at St. Omer, left yesterday morn-
ing for Dunkirk and Calais.
The ball to their Majesties at Lille on Saturday
night was got up with great magnificence. The
whole of the court-yard of the Hotel de Ville Ras
covered over and converted into a ball-roomfor the
occasion, and all the rooms of the building were
thrown open, so that there was space sufficient for
4,000 persons. The immense temporary room and
all the others were dressed out with flowers and
tapestry, thousands of wax lights throwing a radi-
ance of light over the whole. Their Majesties were
received with the greatest enthusiasm. The Em-
peror opened the ball with Mlle. Richebe, daughter
of the mayor, their vis d-vis being the Empress,and
General Grant, the other persons ih the quadrille
being the Prince de Chimay with the Princess
d'Essling, the English General Lucas with Mme.
Besson, wife of the Prefect, the Prefect with Mine.
Lesay Marnesia, and Marshal de St. Arnaud with
the Princess de Chimay. Their Majesties after- ,
wards walked round the ball-room and withdrew
at eleven o'clock. Their Majesties quitted Lille
the next morning at ten o'clock, after having heard
mass celebrated by the Archbishop of Cambray.
The imperial train stopped a few minutes at Haze-
bruck, and arrived at St. Omer at one o'clock.
After a short stay there, they proceeded to the
camp of Helfaut, where the Emperor passed the
troops in review, and was received with great en-
thusiasm. Unfortunately heavy rain fell during
the whole of the manoeuvres. Their Majesties re-
turned from the camp at seven o'clock. Their
health is excellent.
The -Emperor, before his departure from Paris,
sent the cordon of commander of the Legion of
Honour to General de Stuers, who had been sent
by the King of Holland to be present at the
manoeuvres of Satory. The cross of officer and
that of chevalier were sent at the same time to the
Dutch officers who accompanied M. de Stuers.
Queen Maria Christina breakfasted on Sunday
at the palace of Meudon with Prince Jerome Na-
poleon. A Bayonne journal states that the Duke
and Duchess d'Alba have passed through that town
on their return to Spain.
The Journal des Debats remarks as follows on
the entry of the ships of the fleet into the Darda-
nelles :

" We attach a secondary importance to the number
of ships which may have passed the Dardanelles. This
number will be naturally augmented or diminished ac-
cording to the necessities of the state of things. The
great fact is, that foreign ships of war are in the Bos-
phorus, and that consequently the order established by
treaties has been broken through. The passage of the
Dardanelles is an act which corresponds with the crossing
of the Pruth. It is stipulated on the one hand in the ex-
isting treaties, that so long as the Porte should be at
peace, no foreign ship of war should enter the Bosphorus;
and on the other hand, that the Pruth was the natural
frontier of the Turkish territory. It must be borne in
mind that in the protests made against the invasion of
the Danubian Principalities, it was said that the Western
Powers would be entitled to enter the Bosphorus, to
respond to the invasion of the Principalities. They had
up to the present time abstained from every demon-
stration. But, at present, pressed by the events which
are passing, and by the season of the year, they have
also taken up their positions. On both sides this ex-
pectant situation may be prolonged, for the advanced
period of the year, which soon will not permit the Rus-
sians to evacuate the Principalities, will also lead the
French and English fleets to winter in the Bosphorus.
It is doubtless to these new complications that must
be attributed the considerable fall in the English funds.
On the, Stock Exchange, on Saturday, there was an
absolute panic, similar to what has been seen in times
of greatest difficulty. The Three per Cents, fell from
94 to 92, and were a week ago at 95k. We do not, how-
ever, consider these alarms sufficiently justified. It is
to be observed that the entrance of the allied forces
is intended not to respond to the Russian invasion,
but to keep down an insurrection on the part of the
Turks. That intervention has still for object to main-
tain peace, since it is destined to protect the Sultan
against a party which desires to induce him to declare
war. The occupation of Constantinople, should events
render it necessary, would then have a certain simi-
liarity with the occupation of Rome. In the two cases,
the armed intervention would have been effected to
maintain peace and order, and to restore to the esta-
blished Governments their free decision. Nothing as-
suredly can better prove the desire of all the Govern-
ments to remain at peace than this impartial protection
which embraces at the same time the Pope and the
Sultan. When the Sultan shall be no longer under the
pressure and tyranny' of popular passions, the course of
the negotiation may be resumed, and, it is to be hoped;
with btter success."
The season of the year has now arrived when
the shopkeepers in the provinces of France usually
commence the purchase of their winter stock.
Few orders, however, have as yet been received in
Paris from them. Money is still abundant in the
trading circles, but the repeated alarms produced
by the Eastern question induce them to limit their
transactions and to confine their purchases to what
is strictly necessary for present purposes. All
trades connected with building are in a state of
more than ordinary prosperity. The contractors
find some difficulty in procuring sufficient hands,
and they have been compelled to submit to a
considerable rise in the price of all descriptions
of building materials, such as timber, stone, and
iron. The ironmasters have such extensive orders
on hands that they refuse to accept any new ones,
and their prices are generally from 25 to 30 per cent.
higher than last year. Fears are consequently en-
tertained that the new lines of railway lately con-
ceded cannot be completed within a reasonable
time, unless the Government authorise the com-
panies to import rails andlocomotivesfrom England
to France on the payment of a moderate duty.
Flour has again risen to the highest price of the
month of August, but since Wednesday last it has
been difficult to find buyers at those prices.
The prevailing opinion at the corn market is,
that we have reached the highest prices. Several
causes have hitherto contributed to keep up the
price of wheat. The shortness of the crop, and the
necessity the farmers are under of attending to
their labours in the fields preventing them from
threshing out their wheat and bringing it to mar-
ket, have produced a deficiencyin the usual supply,
and enabled those who speculate for a rise to force
the millers to yield to their demands. The im-
mense arrival of foreign wheat begin to produce an
effect. A telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles
announce that 14,000 hectolitres arrived in that
port on the 24th inst. On the other hand,
a letter from Strasburgh, on the 23d, states
that thereare 25,000 hectolitres at Lauterbourg
and Neubourg, purchased for Alsace, and coming
from the north of Germany and from Holland.
The shallowness of the waters in the Rhine between
Lauterbourg and Strasbourg had prevented the
arrival of the boats. The following are the prices
of wheat in the principal markets of France :-
Paris, 40f. to 42f. the 100 kilogrammes ; Chartres,
38f. to 41f. ; Etampes, Melun, and Rouen, 38f. to
41f. ; Soissons, 40f. to 42f. ; Noyon, 38f. to 41f.

37f. ; Saumur, 36f. to 37f. ; Orleans, 37f. to 41E ;
Issoudun, 35f. to 38f. ; Bourges, 34f. to 36f. ;
Sable 36f. to 37f. ; St. Male, 28f to 31f. ; Mor-
laix, 28f. ; Treguier, 28f. to 29f. ; Caen, 39f. to
40f. ; Lisieux, 39f. to 41f. The lowest prices
prevail on the coast of Brittany, from
Brest to St. Malo. The wheat crop in that dis-
trict will afford a considerable quantity for expor-
tation, a portion of which has already arrived at
Havre. The prices of rye, oats, and barley are well
maintained with a slight advance. The price of
butchers' meat in Paris has not been so well main-
tained since the publication of the Imperial
decree, reducing the duty payable on the im-
portation of cattle in France. There has not
been much business transacted at the wine mar-
ket of Bercy during the last week. Dealers are
waiting the result of the approaching vintage, of
which the acounts vary. It is said that the produce
in Burgundy will exceed that of an ordinary year.
The warm weather for about 12 or 15 days has im-
proved the grapes wonderfully, and hastened their
maturity. The vineyards in the neighbourhood of
Paris wear a fine appearance, particularly on the
hills of Argenteuil. Coinplaints are heard of the
unhealthy state of the vines in the neighbourhood
of Saumur, and of the exorbitant prices demanded
for wine there. Wines are unusually high through-
out the south. A considerable fall has taken place
in the price of spirits of wine both in Paris and
Bordeaux. A greater fall is announced at Beziers,
where that article has declined from 190 to 140 f,
the hectolitre.

The approaching reception of M. Berryer, as
member of the French Academy, is creating a cer-
tain sensation in the Legitimist circles in Paris.
The Bourse was more firm yesterday than might
have been expected from the depression which pre-
vailed at the commencement of business, and from
the warlike reports which were propagated. The
Three per Cents opened at 75f. 15c., rose to 75f.
90c., and closed at 7575 c. for the end of the
