improved their positions, but when near the cords
they were passed by Nabob, who went resolutely
to work to catch Little David, but in vain • from end

past the chair by six easy lengths; the second beating

The "Cambridgeshire day" presented no incident of
either novelty or importance. It was marked by its
familar and distinguishing characteristics of eager ex-
citement and business-like proceedings. The weather
was propitious, and the attendance of professional
turfites and pleasure folk was unusually numerous. In-
deed, just before the decision of the great event of the day, -
the long line of horsemen that stretched from the top stand
to beyond the " turn of the lands," presented a scene
which no other country than England could parallel.
The extraordinary number of 39 competitors mustered
at the starting post. With admirable tact Mr. Hibburd
marshalled in a line this imposing array of horses behind
the post. Two failures only were made, owing to the
breaking away of Haco, Little David, and Winter. Get-
ting them under perfect command, the starter dropped
his flag, and they bounded off in compact order. The
race is described above—it was won easily by Little
David, who was for some time trained with Haco. the
Cesarewitch victor. He was backed by the friends of
his trainer only, and the investments on him were not
eonsidera,bly heavy ; still his trainer, Mr. Drewitt, of
Leatherhead, had placed much confidence in his success
from the fact that when both Little David and Haco were
under his care, Little David invariably proved the better
animal of the two. The Cambridgeshire was what is .5.
technically termed a bad betting race. Still the success
of an " outsider" has been again in favour of the book-
makers.

The sport was brought to a close with the Feather
Plate, a race in which many lads yearly make their first
public appearance as jockeys. Among those that made
their debut was little Joe Rogers, a son of Sam Rogers,
the celebrated jockey ; and a perfect model feather he
looked. The boy evinced much promise, and is likely
to become as skilful a horseman as his father.
The race officials performed their arduous duties with
their customary efficiency. Notwithstanding the nume-
rical strength of the fields, so excellent were the arrange-
ments that Mr. Manning, the clerk of the scales, got
every jockey weighed -without either confusion or delay,
and thus enabling punctuality to be kept with wonder-
ful strictness. Mr. Clarke, the judge, too, delivered his
decisions with his usual promptness and unimpeachable
accuracy. Nor must a word of commendation be want-
ing for Martin Starling. whose active exertions to keep
the course free from obstruction, were attended with the
most successful results.

Brsom AUTUMN STEEPLECHASE.—Peter Simple, Miss
Mowbray, and Tom Gurney, aro scratched for the
Epsom Steeplechase.

RATES OF EXCRANUE._Tuesday Evening.—The quo-
tation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mile discount
(according to the last tarifl), which, at the English Mint
price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 25.12; and the foreign exchange
at Paris on London at short being 25.00, it follows that
gold is about 0.48 per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold
is 4244 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.4 k ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on
London at short being 13.24, it follows that gold is 1.01
per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The
course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of exchange
between England and America being 109 23.40 per
cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per
cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allow-
ance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a
profit on the importation of gold from the United States.
RECOVERY OF 1,8001. BY LONDON DETECTIVES IN
AMERICA.—About four months ago Joseph Price ab-
sconded from the service of his employer, Mr. Jones, a
silk merchant, in Raven-row, Spitalfields, taking with
him a large sum in gold and notes. The thief contrived
to elude every attempt that was made to effect his cap-
ture ; but a suspicion being entertained that he had gone
to America, information was dispatched to the chief of
the New York police. The case was placed in the
hands of a young officer named Field, who had been om-
ployed some years before in the detective department at
Scotland-yard, and who, in company with another officer,
at last succeeded in tracing the fugitive to a place called
Geneva, in the state of Albany. By dint of considerable
address and some threats, he succeeded in extorting from
Price no less than 1,8001. in gold and notes, and a bank-
book on the Moorfields Bank for 150/. On his way
back to New York his comrade demanded possession of
all the money, which Field refused to give up without
a proper receipt. A quarrel ensued, which resulted in
his giving Field into custody, upon an affidavit, made
at the police court, that he (Field) was about leaving the
country with the money. Field, however, met with the
greatest courtesy from Judge Stewart, who at once ad-
mitted him to bail on his own recognisances ; and he has
since deposited the whole of the recovered money in the
hands of Mr. Edwards, the British Consul.
THE BREAK-DOWN OF THE DISPATCH MAIL BOAT.—
The Governor-General of Jersey has written to Captain
Babot, the commander of the mail steamer Dispatch
which was nearly lost last week off Jersey, stating that
it was reported that the shaft] which broke was in an
unsafe state before sailing, and demanding an explana-
tion. Captain Babot has replied that the accident
which occurred was the breaking of the intermediate
shaft at two different places, one being under the strap
of the eccentric of the starboard engine and the other
close to the other eccentric, destroying at the same
time both eccentrics ; that after the accident a flaw was
discovered in the shaft which had been covered by the
eccentric, and could not have been perceptible before, or
it would have been discovered by the surveyors of the
Admiralty, those of the Board of Trade, and his own
engineer. Captain Babot assures his Excellency that if
he were aware of any defect in his ship's machinery,
he would never put to sea and expose his own life and
the liveo of hie monger. and crew to Unger.
