MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.

There was a large attendance this forenoon, although
the interesting meeting at Newmarket has attracted many
of our turf capitalists.
THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES.-2 to ] was
casually offered agst Eringo, 9 to 4 would have been
taken; 5 to 2 egg Ralph; 60 to 10 apt Metternich offered
at the close, and 8 to 1, " bar the three," offered; 7 to 4
would have been taken the field beats two.

THE CHESTER Cup.—Two or three important move-
merits have taken place. Gallipot remained firm, two
points a head of any other, with offers to take 5 to 1,
in several quarters, either he or Queen Bee wins. It
is scarc:ly possible to name the second favourite, so
near are the Plover, Queen Bee, and Tubalcain. 11 to
1 was offered on the field, bar Gallipot. 6to 5 would
have been taken Queen Bee beats The Plover. 12 to 1
was wanted on the latter. We think Plover had just
" the call "of the second in c ,mmand. 100 to 7 was
the opening offer v. Retriever, but soon a Cheshire
gentleman gave him a lift to the rear." He backed
Rough Robin against him for 500 ; and also Robin against
Little Phllip, for double the stun. The same gentleman
backed Rough Robin to seventy-five pounds at 25 to 1.
Three or four horses were not named ; we attach nominal

cited room admits of : _

EGLINTON PARK DIEETING.-a-ThiS very
popular meeting commenced today, The weather, dur.
ring the forenoon, was not so auspicious as could have
been wished, Notwithstanding.. a vast concourse of people
assembled. None of the races had been decided whet►
our informant left. Amongst the supporters of the turf,
besides the noble patron of the meeting, Lord Eglinton,
the following noblemen and gentlemen were present:—.
The Marquis of Waterford, Lord Dunmore, Lord Sal.
toun, Sir F. Johnstone, Sir D. Baird, J. O. Fairlie,
Esq., H. Johnstone, Esq, Captain W. Campbell, yr, of
Craigie, A. Campbell, Esq , yr. of Jura, J. Meiklain,
Esq., of Crainbrae, Captain Richardson, Captain Pettat,
Claud Alexander, Esq., of B Illochmy le, W. Craufurd,
Esq., of Doonside, W. R. Ramsay, E-q., &c. The
Countess of Eglinton, and a numerous company of ladles
and gentlemen, occupied the Grand Stand, which has been
elegantly though temporarily fitted up. From the entries,
most of which were completed last night, we augur that
the racing_ will be excellent—and sonic of tle matches,
especially, have excited great interest.---Ayr Observer of
Tuesday. _ .

EXTRAORDINARY FACT.— During the late
severe winter, most of the sheep on the high lands b:-
tween Buxton and Cromford, on the line of the Buxton
and Cromford Railway, were so affected by the weather,
as to cause temperary blindness in most of the flocks, and
more or less injury to the eyes in all. On the return of
the mild and genial weather, however, even such as had
lost their sight immediately showed signs of returning
vision, and which has gradually, though slowly, improved,
and at-present there are few if any traces left of the injury
produced by the inclemency of the late severe season.
On Monday evening last a meeting of the rate-
payers of St. Cuthbert's parish, York, was held, for the
pu►pose of addressing the Dean on the subject of the Into
visitation proceedings against him. The address was
pnanimously agreed to, and the 11)ean returned a suitable
[lama of thanks.
