THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE.-PRELIAIINARY

RE MARKS.
Early Bird was scratched, after having well " served
his turn" in the market. Monio Moses may be deemed
virtually struck out, for the hostility which he has en-
countered could only have been occasioned by a certainty
of his ultimate withdrawal. Orinoco has now superseded
Rattle in the betting, and Seberz, the German horse,
has been advanced to a prominent position in the list of
quotations. I shall not now enter into a discussion of
the chances, but shall, as usual, despatch my notes from
Newmarket on Monday, by which time I shall have had
an opportunity of picking up and examining much interest
ing information. My present inclination may be briefly
stated. Orinoco, Scherz, and Helena stand foremost
in my estimation. Circumstances, however, may cause
me yet to substitute Rattle for oue of the horses above
mentioned. Advises from Newmarket inform me that
Scherz did not sweat yesterday as was expected. A
report, too, was circulated that he was coughing, but
like the rumours from the seat of war this requires con-
firmation. Some decisive movements in the Turf mar-
ket will, doubtless, be made at Tattersall's this after-
noon. 11, however, shall start for Newmarket this even-
ing, in order to be out early on the exercise ground in

the morning.
I will briefly pronounce judgment on the Criterion
Stakes, the only event of importance to be decided on
Monday. Should Rifleman be brought ont, I 'ilia%
despite his extra weight, deem him capable of achieving
success, albeit, he will, perhaps, encounter no insignifi-
cant opponent in Saraband.
By the way, the Man in the Street, has just tipped
me on the shoulder, and whispered mysteriously a par-

iality for Quince.

A. FRESH MAN.

BANKRUPTCY
.COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commbisioser Goulburn.;
IN RS SBAGRIII-JUDGISENT.

This bankrupt was eleseribed as of Winchester, solici-
tor, scrivener, and gas manufacturer. He applied a few
days since, and after hearing arguments pro and con, his
Honour adjourned the case for judgment until to-day.
The bankrupt had been undersheriff for Hampshire,
and was connected with the gas company ; he had also
held a great number of official appointments. The point
reserved was whether it could be fairly implied that the
bankruptcy 'was occasioned either wholly, or in part,
from unavoidable circumstances.

The case has already been fully reported:
His Honour now in the course of a long judgment
said he could not bring himself to the conclusion that
the bankruptcy had arisen from any misfortune, and he
could only grant a certificate of the third class to be sus:
pended for six months' from the date of the bankrupt
passing his last examination (28th July last).
