TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlB,—The sporting season for 1847 may be said to
have commenced at Northampton. the two previous
meetings of Coventry and Warwick not being of that
attractive metal likely to draw thereto the sons of the
turf, and only forming a sort of prelude to the corn-
rnencement of the regular business of this season. The
handicap, wonderful to relate, was won by the top
Weight, a rarity now• a-days, and proving the superiority
of that celebrated son of Freney, Wolfdog: Sat I llb is
no joke to carry two miles against a couple of even mode-
rate feather-weights, for such are Halo and the colt by
Euclid; Magnet with 7st being a tolerable fourth. This
animal ran very gamely at Croxton, beating that very
tough nag Rough-and Ready easily, for the Granby
handicap. From this, as well as from the rest of the
running, both at Northampton and Croxton, there is
nothing to be deduced which will throw any light upon
the Derby and leading handicaps now in the market.
The speculators at the Corner have been rather wide of
the mark in their fancies this year, and I am inclined to
think are so still as far as regards the Two Thousand
Guineas, Chester Cup and,the Derby. For the Oaks I am
'Tory confident they are on the right scent (some portion
of thorn, at least). For the Derby I may as well remark
that the chances of Philosopher, Lunedale, Pavilion (a
second Clear-the-way), Rack Dwarf, Mr. Martin, Chris-
topher, Sister to Cobweb colt, Horn of Chase, Cosyng-
P!To, Epirote, Glentilt, The Liberator, Alnian, lertonian,
!Ingham, Cossack, War Eagle, and Oxo arc
rather obscure ; and the Planet is not likely to shine to
!Mick advantage on the Downs, though he may do so at
Newmarket. The first favourite (Van Tromp) and the
field for my money against those enumerated above.
Should the Liberator, by any manner of accident, win
the Derby, he will indubitably swamp the ring; his
owner alone stands to win with him about 70,0001.; but
notwithstanding the Liberator being a fine animal, and
In the most splendid condition imaginable, he can no
otters face the Epsom hill than he can fly; at the road the
Liberator's chance of the " rint" will be gone—vanished
Into thin air will be all his owner's golden dreams. The
some critique will apply to Bedlam, and fit enough would
be the building in St. George's-fields for any man mad
enough to back such a thorough brute as Bedlam.
During the present week the pretensions of Epirote,
War Eagle, Halo, Bingham, Red Hart, Clarendon, and
some half-dozen others, including Planet, to Derby
honours, will be set at rest, or confirmed, as the case
may be; in ten cases out of twelve, I consider the former
will be the case, and a nice case many will have mad 3
of it.

On Tuesday one of the great events of the week will
be decided, in the shape of the Newmarket Handicap,
for which a field of twenty may be counted on. From
the light weights:l select Discontent, from the middle
weights Queen Anne, Tem Tulloch, Due- an-Durras, and
Best Bower; and from the top weights Footstool, Lady
Wildair, and Sting. As the last three row in the same
boat it is guineas t' pounds on Footstool against the
other two. With this nag, Tom Tulloch, and Discon-
tent, I hope to pull through, reserving the Best Bower
for my sheet anchor in case of a storm.
On Wednesday the Column Stakes, one would fancy,
ought to be a certainty for Epirote; but the fieltj., I am
afraid, he will find difficult to stall-off.
For the Port Stakes on Friday Sir Tattnn Sykes, if
quite in trim (dubious), will be first past Mr. Clarke,
with lago and Sting following close; if the baronet is
queer, then, in my humble opinion, it is a toss up be-
tween the honest gentleman and the son of Echo, and
Echo returns a stinging answer.
It is my purpose every Monday to comment upon
those doings of the past which are likely to have any
influence upon future events and to endeavour to peep
into the womb of futurity.—l am, ts:c.,
April 5. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

Tllll NEW RACE COURSE AT MANCHESTER.--THE
QUEEN'S PLATE.—We understand that our representa-
tive, Mark Philip, Etq., having preferred to the Duke
of Norfolk, as her Majesty's Master of the ,Horse, a .res'
quest that his Grace would transfer the usual sum given
as her Majesty's plate, and sometimes termed " the-
Queen's guineas," from the old rice course to the nevv
one, has received an answer from the Duke of Norfolk,
stating that his Grace was pleased to transfer the plate
as requested. It will accordingly form one of the prizes
of the annual races at Whitsuntide, for which time the
most active preparations arc being made at the new
course, both as regards the erections and the course
itself.-117anchester Times.
EXPORT or HORSES.—On Friday last, 18 very-
fine
horses, the property of Mr. Sacks, were shipped by
the Helen Macgregor for Hamburgh ; and ou the fol-
lowing day a further shipment of 12 horses was made for
