it would be of no use to-us, as

Colonel, with the remainder of the regiment, ar-
rived on Monday afternoon ; he brought our
baggage with him, lam glad to say. They had
desperate work landing it at Bic, on Saturday
evening, together with some ammunition, from
on board the PErsia. Six of the ship's boats
were smashed, and twenty of the crew left on the
shore, unable to get back to the ship, which left
early next morning for Halifax, the captain of the
Persia fearing his ship would be frozen in. That
very day, I believe, a schconer got entangled
in the ice, and was literally crushed to atoms, so
that not a vestige of her remained. The authorities
_speak of pushing us up towards the .frontier at
the end of this month. I think this a glorious
climate. The cold is intense, but it is a dry healthy
cold. Some of the officers and men have been frost-
bitten, and one man will, I fear, lose his hand.
When there is any wind, any one expoed to it is
liable to be frostbitten."

gathered from our return, the business transacted did not
in any way come up to the anticipations created by the ap-

the odds quoted below were not to be obtained. Master
age—t, riotwithstandinglffit inglorious defeatlast year, found
friends at 20 to 1, and old Romeo at five points more.
THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS.—Both for this impor-
tant engagement and the Derby Sir R. Bulkeley's colt was
much fancied. For the former 100 to 30 was readily ac-
cepted and laid to money, but we fancy the backers
at the close tired out the layers, and we question
whether anything over 3 to 1 could have been obtained
for money. The Marquis, nothing affected by the favour
shown towards Old Calabar, opened at 7 to 1, at which
price he was backed for £5O, and, after some minor invest-
ments, the highest price obtainable about the Melton repre-
sentative was 6 to 1, which was noted down to some two or
three hundred pounds, but which was offered at the close.
Tun CHESTER CUP. —ln this event the never-fading
Schism superseded Umpire in favour as little as 25 to 1,
both in the city in the morning as also here, being readily
accepted; the same odds were taken about the Vest colt, to
money. Zodiac and the former favourite Agag were nomi-
nally supported, and Chere Arnie and Satanella at 50 to 1
each.
THE DERBY.—Buckstone was exceedingly firm at his
quoted price, but the lions of the afternoon appeared to be.
Old Calabar and Caterer ; the former was steadily supported
at 9 to 1 to money, and the latter at 25 to 1, with every ap-
pearance of seeing a much shorter price. The Marquis was
inquired after, and 14 to Ito a small amount taken. Tho
Typee colt and Ensign were mentioned at 25 to 1 each,
Vanguard at 40 to 1, and Sir J. Hawley's Argonaut found
a supporter at 50 to 1; the only others from the outside
division that found favour with the speculative were Garin,
baldi and the Clarissa colt, the former at 66 to 1, the latter
at 100 to 1.
