TROTTING.

TROTTING AT HOUNSLOW, FOR 501. A SIDE.—The an-
nounced match for the above sum, between Mr. Bart-
lett's Tinker and Jenks's cob (the property of Mr.
llildt r), came off on Tuesday, from the 13th to the 10th
milestone on the western road. The start took place at
a minute after five ; for the first mile and a half Tinker
led, and increased the distance gradually until he had
cleared an interval of 150 yards good between himself
and his opponent. From this point, however, the cob
drew slightly upon him. The confusion at the goal was
shameful, and the latter part of the cob's performance
materially interfered with by the closing in of eques-
trians and pedestrians after the passing of the leading
horse. One man was knocked down by Tinker, and
he broke ; but as the match was according to the
Amer:can rules, he did not back or turn, but
111 W a LI OL. Ibis
was within a few yards of the winning-post. The cob
was then well up, and too close to be pleasant, but he also
broke from a similar cause. The scene was alarinirig
from the pressure of the multitude, and highly danger-
ous for the public and the drivers. These matches should
be contested on regular courses, or enclosed grounds,
and not on the turnpike road. Eventually Tinker was ,
declared the winner, having covered the three miles in a
second or two under nine minutes 1 The betting was at
odds in favour of Tinker, and the settling, therefore,
comparatively light.

PEDESTRIANISM.
SULLIVAN AND KINISERLEY.—This quarter of a mile
race between Sullivan, of Lambeth, and Kimberley, of
Bermondsey, for 5/. a-side, came off at the Jolly Caulk-
ers, Lower-road, Deptford, on Monday morning, between
the hours of six and eight. At starting, Sullivan took
the lead, and at 300 yards was 20 a-head of his opponent,
who here made an effort to reach him, which he was
unable to accomplish, being out paced, Sullivan winning
by a dozen yards.

The Baron Davillier, Peer of France, an old and
respected banker, died in Paris on Sunday, aged 88.
The Right Ilon. Lord Morpeth arrived at Doug-
, las's Hotel on Friday, and along with Mr. Nixon,
architect of her Majesty's office of works; on Saturday
visited Holyrood Palace, and inspected the Queen's Drive
round Arthur's Seat. His Lordship left this city on Sa-
turday evening, on a visit to Lord Blantyre, at Erskine
House.—Caledonian Mercury.
Sir Robert Gordon, late British Ambassador at the
Court of Austria, is expected to arrive in town in a few
days from Vienna.
THE EARL Or Liwcor.N.--We understand the
sonstituents of the Noble Member for the Falkirk burghs
have concurred in inviting his Lordship to a public
dinner at Hamilton, but that important engagements in
Ikeland—whither his Lordship sailed yesterday—have
prevented him accepting the invitation.—Glasgow Con-
The Duck lighter arrived from Woolwich on Saturday,
with stores for the dockyard.
PUBLIC BATAS AND WASHHOUSES IN ST. MARTIN'S
PAnisu.—The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have
offered to lease the stone-yard, in Orange-street, Lei-
cester-square, to the Commissioners appointed to carry
out the Act in that parish, recently adopted to " encou-
rage the establishment of baths and washhouses:'
An epidemic has for some time past existed among
park deer, which has now assumed a threatening cha-
racter. The epidemic bears a similarity to the disease
now prevailing among cattle. It is of an inflammatory
description, and affecting the throat—a few days decides
the fate of the deer. The epidemic is confined chiefly
to full-grown bucks and does.
NEW STOCK AND SHARE EXCHANGE.—A meeting
of the members If this society took place on Tuesday at
the Exchange in Old Broad-street, for the election of a
board of management, and the adoption of certain rules
and regulations for the guidance of the members of the
society.

IMPROVEMENTS TN THE CITY.—The re paving of
Cheapside with granite, which has rendered that great
thoroughfare—the most crowded in the metropolis—
almost impassable for several weeks, is now nearly con-
cloled. It is expected that both sides of the street will
be open to vehicles in a few days. The houses in the
neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange, which were
mentioned the other day as about to be thrown down
for the purpose of allowing that handsome structure to
be seen to greater advantage, are expected to be wßolly
removed in less than a fortnight, when that part of the
City will present a very different appearance from what
it has hitherto done. Great progress was made yester-
day in the work of pulling down the house, westward of
the Hall of Commerce. Another great improvement,
which, however, is only in embryo at present, though it
is confidently believed it will soon be a " great fact," is
the erection of a handsome viaduct extending from Snow-
hill to the top of Holborn-hill. The plans have been pre-
pared, and measures are about to be taken to bring the
project before the public.
VICTORIA PARK.--Since the accession of Lord
Morpeth to office as Chief Commissioner of Woods and
Forests, some important changes have been made in the
plans for the completion of the park. Amongst others,
two portions of about twelve acres, at eithep end are
to be appropriated as cricket-grounds, with which a
gymnasium is to be connected. A plan for the erection
of a museum is also under the consideration of the Com-
missioners. The utmost vigour is now shown in the pre-
parations for planting, which will, it is expected, be
completed in the enstiin;;; spring.
IMPORTANCE OF LLOYD'S.—The vast importance of
Lloyd's establishment to merchants,
shipowners under-
writers, and others, interested in maritime affairs,rs, may
be easily gathered from the fact that on Monday there
were received no less than 57 British and Irish manu-
script
shipping lists, with 58 foreign ditto
together newspapers to the same extent. Thisnot by "is any'i
means a solitary instance of the receipt of so
vast a
mass of shipping and mercantile intelligence in one day.
To judge of the well-organised arranfrement of the esta-
blishment, hi:shed:eat, it may be observed that °each list and
news-
paper has been read and checked through carefully,
which great labour was accomplished on Monday les't by
the usual hour of closing the business of the day.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was again
rather brisk, but Shares were not very active.
Much interest and conversation has taken place in
the City this morning upon the subject of the East India
Railway, it having been stated that at the Secret Court
of the Directors of the East India House, to be held this
afternoon, the report of the eminent engineer, Mr.
Simms, sent out to ascertain the practicability of con-
structing railways in India, and the best line to be
commenced, is to be read. It is hardly probable
that the report referred to, though looked for with great
anxiety, will be made public, before it has been for-
warded in due course for the consideration of the Indian
Board connected in the administration of the af-
fairs of the country, in conjunction with the Di-
rectors in Leadenhall-street. Latterly there have
been some considerable transactions in the East
India Railway Shares, and should the report cur-
rent prove correct that 4 per cent. is to be guaranteed,
with half profits after a certain period, the market for all
scrips of railway contemplated to be made in the vast
country under consideration, must be most materially
enhanced.
Beyond the advices which we publish of the state of
affairs at the Cape of Good Hope, there is little in the
private letters requiring comment, as they are princi-
pally filled with commercial matters, and upon the whole
it is represented to us that the condition of trade is very
satisfactory.
All the Public Securities are a fraction lower than they
were yesterday. Consols for the Account have just
been done at 95, and for immediate transfer to 941.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are down
to 94j. Bank Stock is firm at 206 i ; Exchequer-bills
have receded to 13s. premium ; India Bonds have been
quoted at 275. premium.
In the Foreign Stocks there have not been any impor-
tant variations to-clay. Austrian Metalliques have im-
proved to 111} ; the Brazilian are at 851 ; the Mexican
at 234 4.
Mr. Murphy, the financial agent of the Mexican
Republic has given his promised expose as to the debt
and the late conversion. He contends that he had full
powers to effect the conversion, and expresses his firm
conviction that it cannot, or ought not, to be set aside.
Mr. Murphy's statement, in extenso, will be found in
another part of The Sun.
Portuguese Four per Cents. for Account are at 421,
Spanish Actives at 26, the Three per Cents. at, 37i, the,
