THURSDAY.

The racing this afternoon had several features in common
with Tuesday—the events for decision were six in number,
including a Royal Plate and a stake—the " One Thousand
Guineas" of as much importance with respect to future
speculations as the Two Thousand Guineas. The weather,
too, was fine, and numbers only were wanting to make the
similarity complete ; in this respect, however, Tuesday was
immensely superior, not only to this but to every racing day
that has preceded since 1140. Speculation on the One
Thousand Guineas Stakes, notwithstanding its result, was
certain to lead to a change in the prices of the two leading
favourites for the Oaks, and was far from brisk ; Slander, as we
have stated in our report of the betting on Wednesday night,
left off at evens with the field. Brown Bess, who had been
backed at 5 to 2, having receded to 3 to 1, similar offers
having been offered agst Clementina, who was only no-
minally in the market. The betting this morning differed
essentially from these prices, Clementina having sprung to
6 to 4, of course to the prejudice of Slander, agst whom
5 to 4 was offered currently. 6to 4 was laid agst Brown
Bess, and 7to 1 agst The Emerald Isle. We should men-
tion, too, while speaking of the betting, that Van Tromp was
backed at 5 to 1 for the Derby, and Cossack at 20 to 1 freely,
and Sir Martin and St. Lawrence at 30 to 1 each for the
Chester Cup.
The racing commenced at two o'clock, and Red Hart
having delighted the " fielders" by defeating Epirote,
and Cocoa Nut having carried off a very sporting
handicap, after a very severe race with the Cob,
the start took place for the principal event of the
day, for which five competitors appeared at the post,
all more or less fancied except Cosachia. The race ended in
favour of Clementina, by half a length ; Slander beating
Brown Bess by a length. Like the 2,000 Guineas Stakes
the pace was slow, and also like that was fatal to the first
favourite for the great event to come off at Epsom, the
Goodwood horses in each case proving second best. Another
agreeable surprise awaited the " fielders" in the Queen's
Plate, in which the favourite, after one of the severest four
' mile contests ever witnesseal, was beaten by Humdrum, being
the second race of the day on which 5 to 1 was laid on the
loser! The list was got through by half-past four o'clock.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liirerpool yesterday was heavy.
Sales 4,000 bales, including 500 American on speculation.
The value of American was quoted %d. per lb. lower, and of
Brazil and Surat %d. per lb. lower than last week. There
were 2,500 bales American sold at 6%d. to 7%d. per lb., and
Surat realised 4d. to 414 d per lb. In Railway Shares tl:ere
was nothing new. Business was still dull, the heavy shares,
however, being best supported.
The Overland Mail brings advices of a favourable com-
plexion in some respects, but not such as are calculated to
encourage the expectation that the Eastern Markets will offer
yet, for some time to come, an opening for increased imports
of manufactures. The pacific policy of Lord Hardinge,
should events favour its development, may do much to
create a more extended, permanent, and less fluctuating
demand; but it is to railways all are looking for the grand
impetus to civilization and prosperity. The Honourable East
India Company had almost drawn to the full extent et
the three Presidencies of its intended remittances for the
financial year ending April, and the exchange, consequently,
was on the advance. Although shippers from England take
care to send forward excessive supplies of goods, the exports
of produce from India are large, and the frequent wars have
caused a greater local expenditure, and diminished the sur-
plus revenue available for remittance to England.
By the Overland Mail we have acounts from South Aus-
tralia of January 14th. The colony seemed to be prosperous,
and mining industry was prosecuted with considerable vigour
and spirit. •

Vail Diemen's Land dates of Jan. 6, notice the festivities of
Christmas as having been observed with as much ardour as
in England, although the heat was at eighty degrees. Ac-
cording to an estimate just made, it appears that the annual
rentals for houses in Hobart Town amount to 96,4001.
The Funds have been decidedly worse to-day, and it
appears that money stock has been suddenly pressed on
the market, fur we have a decline from 87, the first
price this morning, to 86%. Time bargains are effected at
a reduction to 86% •%. Exchequer bills have been quoted
2s. discount to par. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are 88 to 87% ' • and the Three per Cents., 86 to 85%.
Bank Stock is worth 193 to 194.
The Foreign Bonds have been dull. Spanish Three per
Cents. are 35% : and this has been the only bargain in Pen-
insular Securities. Mexican Bonds are at 203/4 ; Grenada,
at 20; and Chilian, at 91. • French Five per Cent. Rentes
are 115, with the Exchange at 25: 65.
Railway Shares have been depressed in value, and sales
are more difficult.

We learn from Birmingham that the utmost activity pre-
vails in various quarters of the town in prosecuting the works
of the Stour Valley line of railway. From the shaft sunk at
the old wharf, the tunnel extends to King Alfred's-place ;
and in the grounds of Bingley House, so long the residence
of the Lloyds, the lease of which is bought by the company,
another shaft is now being sunk; whilst considerable pro-
gress hal been made from Tindall-bridge in excavating a
line of communication towards Bingley House. In Surmner-
street and Hill-street an extensive gap has been made by
the taking down of several houses; and in Navigation-street,
Pinfold-street, and the vicinity, so many houses are vacated,
that it is said nearly two hundred families have been forced
to remove, causing a complete stagnation to the business of
the small shopkeepers round about. It is stated that within
a month no less than 1,400 men, in addition to those already
employed by the two railway companies, will be put to work
in Birmingham.
