TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Deferring until next week my retrospective
view of the Newmarket meetings, and of the present
racing season, I shall at once proceed to do my best on
the last meeting of consequence in the year. The rally
of bipeds and quadrupeds will be very great; the wea-
ther being fine, the course in excellent order, and the
stables remarkably healthy, considering the advanced
state of the year. All these desiderata summed up,
leads ono naturally to expect a brilliant wind-up to the
season of the memorable panic year of '47.
The Criterion Stakes of 30 sovs. each, 20 ft, notwith-
standing it has 45 Subs., will not have more than three
or four starters at the utmost, viz.—Flatcatcher, Load-
stone, The Sheriff, and Lady Mary. The race,
.I think,
cannot for a moment be in doubt. Mr. Clarke 's award
will be thus:—

Flatcatcher (Edwards) 1
Loadstone (Nat) 2
The Sheriff ... :(Boyce or Butler) 3
Lady Mary ... (Templeman) 4
On Tuesday, the Cambridgeshire Stakes, out of 101
Subs., may start 29 or 30, to be selected from the fol-
lowing:—

This race is of that particular kind when the field
seems to be the best horse. I shall not attempt any
disquisition on the merits of the nags, but select five on
which I stake my prophetic veracity: to wit, Lady
Wildair, Hydrangea, Geraldine, The Cur, and Sir J.
Gerard's starter. If I must perforce place them the fol-
lowing is the order I expect they will run in:—
Geraldine (Prince) 1
Hydrangea (Abdale or Sharp) 2
Lady Wildair... ••• (Nat) 3
I append the probable result of Monday and Tues-
day's matches:—
Woodcraft, Bst 71b, will beat Acteon filly, Bst 21b.
Queen Mary, Bst 101 b, will beat Laura, 6st 121 b.
Passion-flower, Bst, will beat Lovelace, Bst 71b.

Rough and Ready, Bst7lb, will beat Vice Consul, 7st7lb.
Tamarind, 6st 71b, will beat Villiers, Bst 71b.
The Flitch, Bst 71b, will beat E: then, 7st 71b.

Discontent; 7st 111 b, will beat Spider, Bst 71b..
Marpessus, Bst 11b, will beat Dr. Goodall, Bst 10Ib.

My opinion on the remairdng stakes and matches I
shall give to-morrow.—l P.m, Sir, yours, &c.

.. INDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.--Sir Robert and
Lady Peel, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, and the
Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, arrived at the
Castle on Saturday evening, and remained on a visit to
her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Corsort.
Of course there was no music on the parterre this
afternoon ; but notwithstanding the unpleasantness of
the weather, there were many persons on the Pentagna-
terrrace, anxious to pay their respects to her Majesty
and the Royal family, nor were they disappointed, for
Prince Alfred and the Princess Alice, in their pony
phaeton, passed and re-passed across the lawn repeat-
edly ; and as the Queen and the Court returned froze
froat
their walk across the Home Park, her MajestydaL theth
Prince acknowledged the greeting of the
crow
terrace above.

TURKEY.—Letters from Constantinople of the 6th
of October bring the intelligence that the general
state of health continues, on the whole, satisfactory.
In Trebizonde the cholera was beginning to abate;
the report that it had manifested itself at Odessa and
Sannesund was again doubted.
It could not yet be seen how a reconciliation could
be effected with Greece. By the regulations against
the Greek navigation, Turkish commerce also suffered.
The feasts in honour of the circumcision of the
Princes had terminated. At a grand diplomatic en-
tertainment the Sultan Tallmerayer was introduced.
He is to leave Constantinople towards the middle of
October.
VIENNA, OCT. 16.—The improvement in the health
of his Imperial Highness Prince Albert, yesterday
and to-day, is so considerable, that there is no further
cause for uneasiness. The Prince will probably be
able to leave his bed in the course of a few days.

The period is now approaching for the annual pay-
ment of those arrears for provisions which are stand-
ing in the markets of the capital. To-day (Friday)
the supply was very considerable, and the price con-
siderably less. About 1,200 sacks of wheat were
sold at 6fl. 15s. to SA. ss. less the half hectolitre;
85 sacks of rye at 4fl. and 3fl. 14s. The sales went
off slowly. The price of potatoes also continues to
fall. Those of the first quality sold at Bfl. the 100
kils. The inferior qualities sold at 6f. 50c. and. 7f.
to 7f. 15c.

STRASBURG)", OCT. 18.—The fall in the prices has
prevailed duriug the week. All the markets in
Alsace are well supplied, and this not only with the
ordinary kinds of grain, but with immense qtr.an-
tities of potatoes and pulse. Wheat was sold. at
18f. ; rye, 12f. to 14f.; peas, 26f. ; white beans,
28f. to 31f. i Turkish corn, 12f. ; potatoes, 3f. 25g. per
hectolitre. In Colmar, Muhlhausen, Schettstadt,
there was a sensible decline,..and the bread-tax has
everywhere fallen in consequence. The wholesale
trade is quite in abeyance, as the losses in June and
July have completely cooled the ardour for specula-
tion. Business in general is much affected by the
reactions of the London and Paris money markets, and
there is unusual caution in exchanges. A great deal
of ready money goes to Germany. The operations of
our Bank are gaining the ascendancy more and more;
discount in trade is almost invariably 6 per cent.
Railway shares are Strasburgh-Basle, 147 E;
Paris-Strasburgh, 385 f. to 386 E
FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, OCT. 17.—Business
at our Bank was exceedingly depressed throughout
the week, as the low state of the London and Paris
exchanges paralysed all speculations. It was not till
yesterday, when we received some cheering informa-
tion from these leading markets, that the tone

hare fall en considerably here as well as in Mayence,
Wette'rau, &c. Potatoes, on the other hand, main-
tain the price. The vintage will not commence here

VIENNA OCT.l6.—The weight of bread has in-
oreazed to-day in coilbequence o a fall in the prices.
BRESLAU, OCT. 19.—Business on the Corn Ex-
change is very slack, especially in regard to rye,
because large arrivals are expected from Berlin, Stet-
tin, and Posen, while those of Upper Silesia have
been taken from the market. Theconteihnaunegde fine
s

it was formerly excited by the wet weather.
