It will be remembered that this ancient Turf
trophy, for, which the most distinguished thorough-
breds have contended in former times, was chal-
lenged for at the First October Meeting by Sir Joseph
Hawley and Lord 'William Powlett. The race between
Asteroid, 5 yrs, lOst, and Tim Whiffler, 4 yrs, lOst, over
the Beacon Course (4 miles 1 fur. 173 yards, for the Whip
and 200 sovs each, is appointed for the Thursday in the
First Spring Meeting, 18,63, Should Asteroid and Tim
Whiffler keep well, their antagonism will create an interest
scarcely inferior to the last memorable struggle for the
Whip in 1853, when Kingston and Teddington contended
for the recognised Championship of the English Turf.
Since then, Promised Land and Special License have con-
tested the same trophy, when the last-mentioned won, and
Mr. Merry became the holder.

LIVERPOOL—Ocr. 31.

We had only a small attendance to-day, and wheat was
a very slow trade. Flour scarce, and generally 6d per bar-
rel advance. Indian corn unchanged. Beans were tho
turn dearer.

WAKEFIELD—OcT. 31.

Wheat, at our market to-day, was rather dearer than on
Friday last, but not in extensive demand. Fine barley is
higher. Beans, oats, and shelling held for late prices.

BRISTOL SUGAR—OcT. 31.

There is no new feature to notice. Everything is very
flat, and a further reduction in prices must be submitted to
before buyers will cperate freely. Refiners' produce—sales
light and prices unremunerative. Rum—lmporters are
asking higher prices, which checked sales.
