THE SUN,

activity to the market, and an advance of 3e to 5c has
been established, closing tolerably firm, with a good de-
mand. Sales of black-eyed peas have been made at
1 doll 37ic per bag of two bushels. The receipts down
the Hudson this year are—wheat, 424,759 ; corn,
1,308,111; rye, 263,196 bushels. Export from Ist to
26th of September, 1848:—Corn, 814,218 ; wheat,
82,242; oats, 4,290 bushels.
Flour and Meal—At the opening on Monday, owing
to the unfavourable telegraphic advices from Liverpool, a
reduction of 61c to 12ie was submitted to, but subse-
quently this decline was recovered. Yesterday prices
again receded to the lowest point on Monday, and 10,000
brls were taken for shipment at 5 dolls 564 c to 5 dolls 62i c.
Sour 5 dolls to 5 dolls 121 c; scratched, 5 dolls 25c. to 5
dolls 311 c; common state and mixed western, 5 dolls 50c
to 5 dolls 561 c; straight and good brands of both, 5 dolls
56-,}c to 5 dolls 621 e; pure Genessee, 5 dolls 62c; fancy,
5 dolls 75c; and extra, 6 dolls to 6 dolls 371 c; the
whole showing a reduction of 12ic to 184 c, closing hea-
vily. R. 3 e flour is dull, and 12ic lower; the sales
yesterday were at 3 dolls 8; is to 4 dolls. Corn meal,
owing to the moderate supply, maintains its firm-
ness; Jersey at 3 dolls 181-c to 3 dolls 25c, the former
afloat.

Provisions—Ohio pork has remained firm since our
last at 10 dolls and 13 dolls for prime and mess, but the
sales have been unimportant. 100 barrels superior
clear sold at 14 dolls 25c; some soft clear, 12 dolls 75c;
100 barrels rusty mess, 11 dolls 75c; and sour prime,
8 dolls 75e. Beef, though in small supply, owing to the
near approach of the packing season, is depressed.
180 barrels new beef hams, the first received, sold, part
at 14 dolls 25c, the residue on private terms. Ohio
lard has been inactive for a few days past, owing chiefly
to the firmness of holders. Butter and cheese are in
good demand; of the latter some 3,000 boxes Ohio and
this state have been sold at 64c to 7c.
Ashes—Pots, owing to their scarcity, continue to be
offered very sparingly at 6 dolls, and in some instances
we believe higher rates have been paid. Of pearl 150
barrels have changed hands at 6 dolls 121 e to 6 dolls 25c,
closing at the former price.
Rice—There continues a fair demand, principally for
home use, and the market retains its firmness. The
sales are 250 tierces at 375 c dolls to 4 dolls cash, in-
cluding 50 tierces of the new crop, the first received.
Tobacco—The market is steady with a fair demand.
Wool—We have no sales of foreign to notice this
week. Small sales of domestic fleeces at 24c to 26c. The
stock is light, and there is but little coming in.
Freights—To Liverpool, wheat at 8d in bags. Mode-
rate engagements of corn at 71d in bags, and 8d in bulk.

COURT CIRCULAR.
OSBORNE, MONDAY.
The Queen and his Royal Highness, accompanied
by her Serene Highness the Princess ohenlohe and
the younger branches of the Royal Family, took
their usual walks and drives in the grounds at Os-
borne this morning.
At two o'clock this afternoon her Majesty and the
Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Prin-
cess Royal, Prince Alfred, and the Princesses Alice,
Helena, and Louisa, and her Serene Highness the
Princess Hohenlohe and the Princesses Eliza, Ade-
laide, and Feodora, and Prince Victor, and attended
by the Countess of Gainsborough (Lady in waiting),
the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, and Colonel the Hon,
C. Grey and Lieutenant-Colonel Seymour, Equer-
ries in waiting, and Major-General Bowles, left Os-
borne for Windsor Castle, crossing to Gosport in the
Fairy yacht, under the command of Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence.

Shortly before the arrival of the royal yacht near
the Spit buoy, a shore boat, with six or seven per-
sons on board, proceeding to the Grampus frigate
lying at Spithead, had, it is supposed,, in a sudden
squall, unfortunately upset, and the accident having
been perceived, the yacht was instantly by her Ma-
jesty's command stopped, and her barge lowered, and
happily succeeded in saving two individuals ; a third
was picked up by the boat of the revenue cruiser ; but
in spite of every exertion made by the barge of the
royal yacht and some others, it is feared that three or
four lives have been lost by this unfortunate accident.
Her Majesty remained on the pier, in the Clarence
Victualling-yard, until the return of Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence with the above melancholy account, ren-
dering it useless to delay proceeding to Windsor
Castle, which place her Majesty reached about seven
o'clock.

WINDSOR,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE•

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING,

MONDAY.
We mentioned in our last that the starters for the
Cesarewitch were not expected to exceed six-and-twenty;
the probability that such will be the maximum is in-
creased by the withdrawal of Lanesborough, wbo was
scratched last night, under circumstances not very cre-
ditable to his owner. Lanesborough, it is well known,
had been backed to a largo amount by Mr. Murphy's
friends, and, as was generally supposed, by himself also.
Ile was at Newmarket looking well, and according to
Mr. Alurphy's own statement, was good enough to win.
A suspicion, however, got abroad yesterday afternoon,
that his appearance at the starting post was not by any
means certain, and it turned out to be well founded, fur,
about half-past ten o'clock last night his owner entered
the subscription room, and stated that, as a great deal of
money had been got on, and not a guinea for himself, he
should not allow him to start, unless 20 to I was betted

him to 700/. The purpose of this preposterous demand
was so evident, that no one attempted to make an offer,
and it did not take anybody by surprise when it was
officially announced, a few minutes after 11 o'clock, that
the horse had been scratched. It is rather singular that
Dlr. Murphy should not have discovered sooner that his
money was not on, and equally so that, only a few hours
before the declaration, he had advised the gentleman, in
whose stable Lanesborough stood, not to mind anything
that was said or done, for that he had never trained so
good a horse, that he was quite well, and that "all New-
market should not prevent his starting," upon the strength
of which gratuitous information the gentleman alluded
to afterwards took 700 to 100. It is also a little strange
that he, the same afternoon, told Mr. Gully that he had
backed the horse, yet refused that gentleman's offer of
2,0001. for him, and I,OOOL more if he won I Whether
Mr. Murphy's money was on or not, it is pretty clear
that his exchequer will not suffer from keeping his
horse in the stable. The effect of this occurrence was to
raise Surplice to 3 to 1.
The weather to-day has been very unfavourable, but
we tee no reason to change our opinion that it will be a
bumper meeting. Our report of the first day's racing,
although the number of events, and the time between the
last race and the departure of the train, necessarily short,
will shew that the entries were unusually large and the
sport ample; the unprecedented number of horses in the
town i 3 a guarantee that there will be no falling off as
the meeting progresses, and that the final, or " Hay and
straw" week, will be a monster gathering. The cheap
and first class trains have brought a great number of
passengers, and the town is fuller than we have known
it for years. Many of the nobility are here, amongst
them Lord Jersey and others, whose absence of late
years has beon a source of regret to the habitues of Now-
market. Should the arrival to-morrow approach any-
thing like the estimate, the crowd to see the Cesarewitch
run for will be "prodigious." The legitimists look for-
ward to it with terror.
