SPORTING INTELLIGENCE:
EGHAM RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

Owing to the drizzling rain which fell without ceasing from
an early hour in the morning until noon, a long afternoon's
racing passed off flatly, in presence of a company consisting
almost exclusively of sporting men, and not a little to the cha-
grin of the tenants of the stands and the refreshment booths,
whose profits arise from those who visit a race-course, with no
other idea than that of " making a day of it." The altcrnoort
was damp
i and " muggy," and the ground us bad for the pedes-
trians as t was for the running horses. As a list of the com-
pany would be merely to repeat most of the names given in
cur last, we shall content ourselves with stating that the show
of fashion was very select, and the sport of a moderate charac-
ter. The following is a return :
Sweepstakes of 5 soya. each, with 25 addei ; three yrs old,
7st 61b ; four, Bst 41b.; five, Bst 111 b ; six and aged, 9st ;

Mr. Scott's Abel, 5 yrs
Mr. Wright's Wanton, 4 yrs 4 dr
The first and second heats were won by a length, and the
third by a head, much to the astonishment of the spectators,
to whom the race appeared a certainty for the Sister to Glencoe.
There was no betting, however, to warrant an inference of un-
fair play.
The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft,
and 5 only if declared. Two mites and a distance. (34
Subs., 23 of whom declared.)
Mr. Goodman's Remnant, 4 yrs, 7st 61b (Crouch) 1

2to I on Remnant, and 5 to 1 agst the Plenipo colt; the
latter took the lead to the distance, where he was passed by
Remnant and Moneps, the mare taking the lead, and winning
easily by a length.
The Ankerwycke Stakes of 5 sovs. each, and 35 added ; 3 yrs,
7st 41b ; 4 yrs, Bst 61b ; 5 yrs, Bst 121 b ; 6 yrs and aged,

at 96s tid to 97s for middling rather coarse and foxy, and ordi-
nary coarse 919, the latter fetched 434 for good quality.
Hors.—The operations in Hops have been upon a small
scale only, the favourable accounts from the Plantations caus-
ing buyers to purchase cautiously, and rather lower rates have
been submitted to. The duty, is estimated at 160,004 with a
prospect that it will advance.
Cocoa.—For West India a fair demand has prevailed, and
prices have been supported. At auction 360 bags, &e. Trinidad
were all sold, good red at 48s, low to good middling 42s to
463 6d, good ordinary grey 41s per cwt. 270 bags Grenada

East India, there was no public sale, and privately little .le.
mend existed, 10s 6d is the value of mid white Bengal.
PaovisioNs.—lrish Butter has attracted less attention, and
the limited business transacted has been at rather lower rates ;
we quote Carlow on board 92s to 95s ; Waterford, 90s to 925;

In Mess and India Beef a fair business has been done, but
Pork has moved off slowly, and the demand for Foreign Pro-
vi.ions still continues exceedingly dull. The supply of Bar-
rel Pork is very large, and apparently no demand tor exports.
We quote Prime new India Beef £7 17s 6d to £B, and ditto
Mess £6 7s 6d per tierce; prime new India Pork £7 15s per
tierce, ditto Mess £4 5s to £4 6s 6d, anal ditto Bacon

OlLS.—Southern Oil has attracted less attention, and prices
hare given way 103 per tun ; at auction 240 tuns were, how-
ever all sold at 24/ 103 to 3915 s for ordinary to fine pa!e qua-
lity ; at those rates, however, some holders are not disposed to
realise, and expect that the demand will revive shortly. Seal
is held firmly, and a fair business has been transacted both for
home consumption and export; pale has realised 35/, yellow
and straw colour 301 to 34/, and brown 281 to 291 10s per tun.
In Cod few purchases were made, holders, however, are firm,
and obtained 281 to 281 10s. The stocks of common oils con-
tinue rapidly on the decrease, and 'the quantity expected" to
arrive this year is small. Sperm has been disposed of to a fair
extent, fine British 92/ to 93/ per tun ; some arrivals are
shortly expected. Linseed Oil has been in brisk request, both
for home consumption and export, at 31s 6d to 325, upon
shich terms the crushers are by no means anxious to realise,
on account of the high rates current for Seed. Rape Oil has
found read} buyers at firm rates; the supply is small, and
likely so to continue ; pale has been selling at 50s to 50s 6d,
and brown 49s to 49s 6d per cwt. For Cocoa Nut Oil the de-
mand is on the increase, and prices have advanced 6d to Is ;
at public sales 156 casks 20 tanks were sold at 40s for first
sort. Palm has met with a fair demand, good quality at 33/
lOs to 34/. Olive has been in good request, and buyers have
been compelled to pay higher rates, the stock being small.
Gallipoli has realised 711 to 72/, and Spanish 65/ to 66/ per tun.
TALLOW.—There has been a good demand for Russian Tal-
low en the spot since this day week, and during the last few
days prices have been steady at 49s 3d to 49s 6d for Peters-
burgh yellow Candle, the trade however have not taken more
than ample for their immediate wants. For delivery in the
last three months a good many contracts have been entered
into at 48s 9d to 49s per cwt. South American is: rather
cheaper ; at public sale 242 pipes, 112 hhds &c. were sold at
42s a 43s for ord to fine quality. Town Tallow has brought
full rates. The stock of Foreign is mere than it was last year
at this time. The deliveries from Ist June to this period have
executed those of last season by nearly 5,000 casks. To-day
the demand was limited for P. Y. Candle, but prices were firm

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Aug. 24.
(Before Mr. Commissioner nom.)

COLLS, THOMPSON', AND HARRIS'S BANKRUPTCY, LATE BILL.

BROKERS, OF LOMBARD-STREET.

In this case the bankrupts appeared before the Court to pass
their final examination. Very few creditors attended, but ad-
ditional proofs, to the extent of 19,556/. as. were admitted,
making, with the proofs admitted at the sitting tbr the choice
of assignees, a total of 13ti,695/. 189. 2d. already proved against
the estate. None of the proofs offered to-day were contested,
and the subject of the claim of the London and County Bank
was not in any way alluded to.
In answer to a question from the Commissioners as to the
expected amount of dividend, the official assignee said that is
quite uncertain. There are still a great number of bills which
may eventually come against the estate.
The bankrupts were then sworn to the truth of their ac-
counts, and were severally declared passed.
