trap, Inheritress, Blackbird, Tufthunter, Marietta, Tit
Bit, Gannet, Sister to .E is, and Moscow, not one of the
bunch, in my opinion, will get a place, much less win.
Jericho, with the great weight of 9st up, will stick
gamely to his work, but can hardly be expected to win,
although he may be placed.
Walmgate Bar will get on better here than he did at
Northampton ; the course will suit him.

Executor, Sagacity, Antagonist, and Pottinger—a
dangerous quartette of light weighted four-year.olds—
my pick of the lot would be Sagacity, who will, doubt-
less, be one of the first four at the finish. Maid of
Lyme and the Marquis of Conyngham too slow for the
company. I have a strong penchant for the three-
year-olds, and expect the winner will spring from that
division without Sagacity or Pottinger can do the trick.
Of this lot I Consider Snuff- box, Cracow, Black Ball,
and Glen Saddel to be the best. Black Ball and Snuff-
box for choice.

To sum up I shall look to Jericho, as the representa-
tive of the top weights ; to Sagacity of the middle
weights, and to Black Ball of the light weights, with
Snuff-box for a coekboat. If required to place them it
would be in the following order :
Black Ball ... ... 1
Jericho
Sagacity ~, ••• ~,
The Two-year-old Stakes will bring tbgtther a very
respectable field of nine or ten, including ealier,
Farthingale, Cheerful, filly by Cesar, and oft .by
Epirus. Farthingale's easy victory at Noithampton*ill
make her the favourite for this stake, and very probably
she will be the winner, with the Cesar filly second ; colt
by Epirus and Cheerful handy.
I am, Sir, your's, &c.
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF
Thursday afternoon.

• MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
• heavy Sales 4,000 bales. Good ord. and mid. bowed
Mobile was id. per lb. lower. There were 3,000 bales
of American sold at 40. to 6d. per lb. In Railway
. Shares there was more business done, and prices were
- still on the decline.
There appears to be nothing of prominent interest in
.the accounts from the Continent, if we except the infor-
mation that troubles had broken out at Dunkirk during
which the house of the Belgian Consul was pillaged, and
the manufactory of Emile de Bromvere, of Ostend, was
burned.
The anxiety concerning the preservation of the public
peace seems to be relieved to-day in some measure,
and Continental matters now again excite more promi-
nent attention. Still trade suffers by the agitation.
From official returns to hand this morning, we learn
that the amount paid into the Savings' Banks of the
United Kingdom by depositors was, in the year 1846,
6,908,5021., viz., 5,188,8951. in England ; 1,071,1834
in Ireland ; 520,6171. in Scotland ; and the
rest in Wales. In 1847 there was a great
falling off, the total being 6,058,4844, of which
4,70,8454 was in England, 736,4721. in Ireland, and
455,3124 in Scotland. The amounts withdrawn in
1846 were above 61 millions sterling, and in 1847
nearly 9 millions sterling. This tells a tale of priva-
tion and struggles among the more industrious classes.
The Corn Market to-day is very dull for most articles,
and the arrivals are good.
The English Funds, although still flat, are a little
steadier than they were yesterday, Consols being 801 to -I.
The Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities have realised
781 ex dividend, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. 791 to 791. Bank Stock has been 183 ex dividend.
Exchequer-bills have been quoted 395. to 425., and India
Bonds 20s. to 21s. premium, being very firm.
In the Foreign Market the transactions have been
limited. Spanish Five per Cent. Bonds have been
