RETURN OF THE AMERICAN ARCTIC

EXPEDITION.

The United States brig Advance, Captain Haven,
which, with her consort, the Rescue, had been em-
ployed in the expedition for exploring the Arctic
regions in search of Sir John Franklin, returned to
port at New York on the 30th ult., without the loss
of a single life, though all, more or less, were at-
tacked by the scurvy. The Rescue is not yet in.
They have, as our previous report stated, seen
nothing of Captain Franklin, and heard nothing satis-
factory beyond what was stated in that report. It is
the impression, however, of the officers that he is yet
alive, hemmed in further north than they could get
by ice, where life can ,be sustained on whales, oil,
blubber, &c., and fuel even can be had from the latter.
The time, however, appointed for their return having
expired, as well as the means of going further being
exhausted, they came home to Mr. Henry Grinnell,
the projector of the expedition, to report progress.
It is now Mr. Grinnell's impression, that in order
to make -any certain impression in these seas, a steam
propeller must be used, with which in one month pro-
gress enough can be made to result in something far
more satisfactory than anything we have yet had.
On Sept. 13, 1851, Griffith's Island, the greatest
westing, was observed by the Advance and the Res-
cue, when they attempted to return, but were frozen
in opposite Wellington Channel. Then commenced
the northern drift, and. the vessels were drifted to 75
deg. 30 min.—the greatest northing ever yet main-
tained in that meridian of latitude. Afterwards,
about the latter end of November, they re-entered
Lancaster Sound under the influence of the drift.

The ice then closed upon them, and they were amid
all the horrors of a Polar winter, but it was subject
to repeated disruptions effected by wind, storm, or
drift. During the months of November, December,
January, February, the darkness was perpetual (a
Polar night)—and the comfort of such a home thus ice
bound, can be better imagined than described.
The men were then prepared with knapsacks for
any immediate emergency, no one knowing when the
fearful pressure of the ice would crush the little barks.
Previous to this, however, and preparatory for it, the
rescue was deserted about Nov. 5, to save fuel, &c.,
the thermometer being 40 dogs. below zero.
Meantime constant exposure to wet and cold here
introduced scurvy, and in a short time, notwith-
standing the usual preventatives, the disease assumed
in some cases an alarming form. Capt. de Haven
became severely afflicted, ;but by pouring hot water
on dried apples, with some seasoning of lemon juice,
a preparation for a drink was made, which soon re-
stored the health of the officers and crew.

Captain De Haven's was the most severe attack,
and afforded a singular illustration of one of the pe.
culiar features of the disease. A small wound on his
finger, made when a school-boy, and many years
ago healed and forgotten, was reopened by the disease.
In the spring (May) the Rescue was recovered
with the loss of bowsprit and cutwater. But vessels
had withstood the crushing of the ice wonderfully
well. Their small size enabled them to rise when
the crushing began, and their prodigious strength
saved them from being destroyed by the pressure.
On the 13th of January, 1851, they entered Baf-
fin's Bay (the Rescue then invisible), and they then
drifted out of sight of land, being about 90 miles off.
June 10.—They emerged from the ice, after over
nine months drifting in it, about 300 days, during
all which time they have been imprisoned in it,
without the power to get out. During this time
they calculated they had drifted 1,060 miles.
With the exception of Captain Back's, this is the
only like record of a Polar drift, and this is without
parallel as to distance and exposure.
Captain Haven determined to proceed north after
he had emerged from the ice, in June, as before
stated ; but in his effort to pass through the Melville
Bay barrier he was, July 25, again beset with ice,
and frozen up.
The icebergs were more numerous than ever known
before at that time, and he became enveloped in them.
He was in the midst of a grand magnificent circus of
icebergs, the amphitheatre of which was 200 feet high.
From this imprisonment he escaped August 19,
when the north winds blew him out. Then, after
refreshing at the Greenland ports, he set sail for the
United States.
The American vessels last saw the English ship
Prince Albert at eleven o'clock, A.M., on the 12th of
August, standing SS.E., having given up, as Captain
De Haven concluded, all hope of getting round the
bay ice and making the southern passage. Captain
De Haven thinks it probable that she would reach
Prince Regent's Inlet.
On the 13th instant the Rescue was parted from
in a gale—but her arrival here may be daily expected.
The Advance has brought home the relics of Sir
John's visit to the place where three of his men were
buried; also two or three Esquimaux dogs, one of
them not many weeks old, apparently very fine intel-
ligent animals.

From St. Thomas and Bermuda we have advices
to the 20th and 26th ult. The weather had been
calm and favourable to agricultural operations.
The
heat, however, was intense, and sickness prevailed in
consequence. The Advertiser says—
" Every kind of business throughout our commu-
nity appears to be nearly used up, and the present
state of affairs assume an alarming aspect, and pro-
mises to be much worse—an entire reform in trade is,
then, absolutely necessary. Bermuda has hitherto
been supported by a commercial business, but now
its large transactions have ended, and the present bu-
siness is reduced to a mere nominal one. Some 30
years ago 70 sail of a good class of vessels sailed from
theseislands, doing a profitable trade for their owners.
Now we have about 80, and very few of these for
the last twelve months have more than paid their sail-
ing expenses ; and were it not that a larger quantity of
oni)ns and potatoes have lately been raised than for-
merly, although the prices have considerably fallen,
these islands would certainly be in a worse condition.
Her Majesty's dockyard has also been one of the chief re-
sources by which a number of the inhabitants have
obtained a livelihood ; and now that the present sys-
tem of trade can no longer be of advantage to vessels
of our size, and as a heavy retrenchment, both in
salaries and discharge of men, has taken place at the
naval yard and other Government stations, we must
look to a more permanent occupation and create a
native employment—namely, agriculture, the most
noble and independent of all. When we compare our
little knowledge of Bermuda agriculture with what
we have seen abroad, the advantages are in favour of
Bermuda. We believe our countrymen are not aware
of the capabilities of their little island, which, to be
brought fully out, only require industry; and situated
as the islands are, within three days' steam of New
York, if the proper arrangemeuts be made, as good

a market for the Bermuda produce as for that of any
island will certainly be obtained. We have seen
Fehuoner 'leads of i uit and vegetables brought from
the Bahamas and the Southall States to the New
York market, at the same tine that the fruit was in
season in these islands, bringing prices that our people
would have thought encouraging."
Late aclvices from St. Kitt's, Martinique, Antigua,
and Montserrat state that severe gales had been ex-
perienced in those islands.
From Hayti we have intelligence to the 6th ult.
An English war steamer was at Port au Prince.
Coffee was scarce and high, but the new crop was said
to be above the average.
Advices from Buenos Ayres to the Bth of August
mention that there was no news of importance.
Advices from New Grenada to the Bth of August
contain renewed assurances that order was daily
being more firmly consolidated in the republic.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

----.-
NEW YORK, SEPT. 30.—Money Market—Govern-
ment and other leading securities were firm to•day, and
in some instances a slight advance was obtained; other
descriptions were heavy, and although the decline was
not so great as took place last week, still the tendency
appears to be downwards. Eries '7l and Income Bonds
fell off The demand for foreign exchange is mode-
rate, and but few sales effected in consequence of the
scarcity of money. Sales of Sterling were made at 110
to 1108; Francs, 5.12 k to 5.14 g. Bremen may be quoted
at 78/ to 78k; Hamburgh, 361 to 36k; Amsterdam, 41i
to 41fr. We have no alteration to notice in the rates for
money; the banks discount to the extent of their capa-
bilities, but that is far from sufficient to supply the de.
mand from the mercantile community; and for discounts
in the street exorbitant rates have to be paid even for
good paper. The exports of specie from New York
since the Ist of January last have approached 28,000,000
dollars—a drainage which is almost equal to the impor-
tations from California on consignment, and a constantly
recurring amount which our merchants and banking in-
stitutions cannot withstand. A defective tariff and long
credits are the sources of this evil.

The approach of autumn, instead of affording some
relief, as was generally anticipated, in the money
market, seems to invite further depression, if we may
rely upon the aspect of the past fortnight, and receive
as evidence of the fact the recent occurrences here and
elsewhere of bank and individual failures, and the
threatening disorder which continues to reign in our
midst.

Cotton-Since our last review per Pacific the sales
have averaged about 500 bales daily, all to the trade.
Prices for the better grades, suitable for the home de-
mand, are sustained only by the lightness of the stock
on sale; the lower qualities, middling and under, are
easier to purchase, and we have reduced our quotations
in conformity with the sales effected. Any orders now
received from abroad pass by us to New Orleans, where
the receipts are large-52,000 against 16,000 same period
last year; stock, 47,000; and middling, Bc. to Elie. The
receipts at Mobile and the Atlantic ports are still light,
and planters in Georgia and South Carolina are storing
in preference to selling at ruling rates. Continued re-
ceipts at New Orleans must soon settle the question of
price in favour of a low range of quotations at the
opening of the campaign, whether the crop prove ulti-
mately 2,500,000 or 2,700,000 bales. The sales reported
on 'Change today were 200 bales.
Breadstuffs, &c.-Ia breadstuffs there is no new fea-
ture to record. With moderato supplies and a fair home
trade there is but little change in price. The export
demand has quite subsided. The closing rates were, for
good brands of State, 3 dolls. 8l c. to 3 dolls. 87ic.• for
Ohio, 3 dolls Vic. to 4 dolls.; pure Geuessee, 4 dolls.
12i-o. to 4 dolls. 25c.; uninspected and No. 2, 3 dolls. to
3 dolls. 50c., according to quality; sour, 3 dolls. 25c. to
3 dolls. 500. Canadian in bond is scarce, and brings 4
dolls. Southern kinds are rather heavy at 3 dolls. 87ic.
to 4 dolls. for old; and 4 dolls. 12ic. and 4 dolls. 25c.
for New Baltimore, Georgia, Alexandria, &c. Rye flour
is dull at 3 dolls. 25c. to 3 dolls. 314-c. For wheat the
market is quite unsettled, but with light receipts there is
some firmness. Canadian in bond may be quoted 87c.
to 900.; Michigan, 88c. to 90c.; Ohio, 80c. to 85c.; Ge-
nessee, 97c. to 100 c.; Southern, according to quality,
from 80c. to 85c. Rye sells at 71c. ludian corn is in
fair demand for home use at 60e. for good, and 584-c. to
591 c. for that not strictly sound. Indian corn meal re-
mains very scarce, and wanted at 3 dolls. 25c. for Jer-
sey, and 3 dolls. 371 e. to 3 dolls. 50c. for Brandywine.
Tobacco-The market is inactive. 150 hogsheads
Kentucky sold at 41c. to 6i-c, per lb. Fine Florida is
in request at 50c.; but the lower sorts aro dull, at prices
ranging from 100. to 20e. Connecticut seed leaf is
inactive.

Freights—Flour has been engaged at Liverpool at 7d.
to Bd.; grain, 3id. Cotton is nominal ; 3s. 6d per bale
offered, Is. Si. asked. To London—Flour, Is. 6d.; re-
sin, 29. To Glasgow—Flour, Is. 4}d.NEW ORLEANS, SEPT. 26.—The sales of cotton today
have been 3,000 bales, at Bc. to 81e. for middling. The
week's sales have been 15,000 Miles, and the receipts
22,000. The total receipts since the Ist inst. have been
52,000 bales, against 10,000 last year. The exporzsh!,ve
been 12,000. All the other articles are quiet. Sterling
exchange is at 10c. to 11c. prem.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
KEY WEST, SEPT. 9.—The uppear part of a house
of a largo vessel drifted in a few days after the gale at
Carysford Reef, with a boat lashed on it, also throe
boats a few miles above this island. One a long
.boat,
with William Gullila on the inside, and Acadia, of Liver-
pool, outside ; a pinnace with the words Lonornir, and
a long-boat without any name, American built, Of the
three boats which drifted into Carysford Reef, a few
days after tho late gale, the one marked " William
G&W.," inside and " Acadia, of Liverpool," outside,
most likely belonged to the British ship Acadia, Captain
Galilen, which cleared from Mobilo on the 7th ult. ; and
the one marked " Lonornir" may have belonged to the
British brig Lavinia, Captain Tindle, which cleared at
New Orleans on the 31st of July for Hamburgh. No
reports have been received of any disaster to these ves-
sels, although the finding a vessel's boats may cause
some apprehension for her safety.

RECEPTION OFKOS SUTI-I.
The arrival of Kossuth and his companion! is
hourly expected at Southampton, and in the meantime
arrangements for his reception are making on a scale
and in a manner worthy of the occasion.

PREPARATION FOR THE GRAND BANQUET.
The following gentlemen have been invited by the
Mayor of Southampton to the Kossuth banquet, viz.:
—Lord Dudley Stuart, the Lord Mayor of London,
the Hon. Mr. Walker, the Sheriffs of London, Mr.
Gilpin, Common Councilman of London ; Mr. Wire,
Alderman of London; Mr. Nicholay,
the Mayors of
Portsmouth, Winchester, Leicester, and Northampton.
The Mayor and Corporation of Winchester have re-
solved to present an address to Kossuth, and have ob-
tained permission of the 11layor of Southampton to
present it at his worship's chateau, near Winchester,
while Kossuth is staying there. The Mayor of South.,

keeps a large establish-

receive a demonstration from them in his favour.
n Hisa coa

They have resolved to mark, in the most emphatic
manner possible, how the Hungarian patriot should be
treated by English workmen.
The following is a literal translation of an extract
from a letter in the Magyar language, received from
Paris in Southampton :
" Dear Sir,—What every good patriot bad wished
for so long and so ardently, Kossuth's liberation, has
been achieved at last. It was my wish to present him
personally my congratulations, and to offer him my
readiness to serve him, but the Police refused me the
passport to London—that is to say, I must take the
condition under whinch alone I could get the passport,
not to return more.
The Jupiter, from Malta to Gibraltar, and which
is now due at Southampton, was off Algiers on the
Ist instant, deeply laden, and with the wind in her teeth.
It is possible that she bas put into Carthagena for coals.
The Iberia mail packet, from Gibraltar, is due at
Southampton on the Nth. Her proper time for
leaving Gibraltar is the sth. If the Jupiter and
Iberia are at all delayed at Gibraltar, the Mississippi
will probably arrive there before they leave. The
Jupiter will come direct from Gibraltar to England.
The Iberia will call at several ports on her way. It
has been stated that official information has been re-
ceived that the Mississinot
pp. will come to England,
that Kossuth's intention when he left Prance was to
reach Southampton from Gibraltar in a British
packet; and that the American frigate will go at
once to New York with the rest of the refugees on
hoard. It should be added, that intelligence has
reached Southampton, that any Hungarian refugee
who shall leave France to visit England, during the
stay of Kossuth in this country, will not be allowed to
return to France. " The plot thickens."
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY NIGHT.
Copy of a letter just received from Louis Kossuth,
through a private friend, by the Mayor of South-
ampton :
" Marseilles, the 29th of September, 1851.
" Sir,— The Government of the Ottoman Empire
gave me asylum and hospitality, and though after-
wards it had to yield to the presumptuous arrogance
of its mighty enemies, and to convert the asylum into
a prison, still it yielded but with regret, it felt
deeply the disgrace, and at the first favourable mo
merit shook oil, in the most dignified manner, the
disgraceful bonds.
" It was Turkey has acted so.
" The people of England raised his powerful
L voice, to claim the vindication of the rights of huma-

MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER is, lasi.

nity, offended in myself and in my associates. And
the Government of Great Britain proved to he a
dignified organ of the people of England's g•Pnerous
sentiments.

" In the United States of America the people, the
Congress, and the Government, shared with equal
generosity in the high-minded resolution to restore
me to freedom, and by freedom to activity. They
sent over a steam frigate for that purpose, and most
generously offered the protection of their glorious
flag.
" Thus acted England and the United States.
"We stopped at Marseilles. I wished to visit
England ; the lively sentiment of gratitude pointed
out to me as a duty to go there to thank for the high-
minded sympathy I and the cause I represent were
honoured with. So I requested permission to pass
through France to England directly, without asking
leave to stop in any place (because I know the cha-
racter of the present Republican French Govern-
ment), and declaring to be ready to follow every
loyal and honourable advice the Government would
fuel convenient to give me for my rapid passage
through France.
" Monsieur Louis Napoleon Bonaparte refused the
requested permission to pass through that French Re-
pablic which did him the honour to elect him to the
high station, where his sacred, sworn duty, is to Le the
chief guardian of the democratic constitution of his
country, which proclaimed to the world to hare for
principles • freedom and fraternity.'
" M. Bonaparte was himself once an exile, and may
yet become an exile once more—France was then not
a Republic, still it was an asylum to oppressed huma-
nity ; I claimed no asylum, I desired only to pass, and
the once exile, new the President of a glorious na-
tion's great Republic, refused.
"It is not I—l hope—to whom before the tribunal
of public opinion throughout the world, this refusal
will prove to be a disgrace.

" I wish no one should remember it at the time
when perhaps Monsieur Bonaparte will once more be
an exile himself.
" In no case will the refusal of the French Govern-
ment impede me to fulfil the highfelt duty to thank
the people of England for its generous sympathy. I
am still resolved to land at Southampton, Sir. I will
entreat Captain Long, of the Mississippi to hasten me
down to Gibraltar ; I wish and hope to find there
some means of conveyance to your free and glorious
shores, were it but for one hour's stay.
" I felt bound to address yon, honoured Sir, this
communication, as a proof of my respect and esteem,
having the honour to sign, with most particular con-
sideration, myself to be, Sir, your most obsequious
servant, _ " KOSSUTH."

" M. Andrews, Esq., Mayor of the City of
Southampton."

LATEbT INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
The great Hungarian patriot has not yet arrived.
He was expected by the Jupiter steamer, which ship
arrived here this morning, but neither brought Kos-
suth nor any tidings respecting him. The Missis-
sippi bad not arrived at Gibraltar when the Jupiter
left. The Iberia is due here from Gibraltar on Tues-
day next, and as she would leave Gibraltar two or
three days later than the Jupiter, there is every pro-
bability that Kossuth will come by her, or at all
events that she will bring some definite news respect-
ing him. We are all in anxious expectation here, and
he will have a most enthusiastic reception when be
lands in Southampton.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING—
THE CESAREWITCH, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Since dotting down my remarks yesterday, I
find that Lord Exeter's Cane has been struck out, not
only for this stake, but the Cambridgeshire also. Sir J.
Hawley has likewise scratched his Bob Major for the
Great 200 Soya. Sweepstakes on Monday's list. From
the numerous vacillations of the prices of the horses in
this stake, it would be almost impossible for anybody
but a close observer to find out which way the money is
going, or what particular animal is meant. Mokanna,
after having risen to a very short price, has, within the
last five or six days, been sent altogether out of the
market. Trickstress, who also figured as a good favou-
rite a short while ago, yesterday and the day before was
peppered incessantly. Several other of the old cracks
have gone slick out of the betting, not to come again.
Yesterday I left off with Dockeray's stable; to-day I
shall commence with one adjacent to it—Lumley's,
private trainer to Lord Strathmore. Ho has three in
training entered for this event, one only, Gurforth,
standing any chance of going to the post. This animal
is by Yaxley, out of Lady Mary's dam, by the Saddler,
'a 4 yrs old, and carries but 6at 31b. I fancy his Lord-
ship will possess as good a chance with this horse as he
has ever had with any other on the turf for winning
a stake of such importance as this. Clarforth's perform-
ances last year were not very inferior; at Newmarket
ho was bnten for the R. AI. Plate by Royal Hart,
Wansdyke second; at Goodwood, carrying 83r. ;lb, he
ran third for the Racing Stakes, won by PitsfJrd (61b
(.xtra), Nutshell second; at Newmarket he run second
in the St. Leger Stakes to Nutshell; at Epsom Autumn
Meeting, with Est 1 llb up, he won the Bentinek Plate,
beating Impression, 3 yrs, 6st 81b, second, and fourteen
others; this year, at Goodwood, carrying Bst 21b, was
not placed for the Richmond Plate, won by Tordesillas,
4 yrs, 6st 8 lb; Preslaw, 4 yrs, 7st 81h, second; at
Eglinton Park ho run a bad third to Dippolytus for the
Eglinton Park Handicap, over the two•and quarter mile
course, Chief Justice second; this last race of his in my
opinion, without be has improved of late, settles his
chance most satisfactorily for the Cesarewitch. His
stable companions Montague and Sunrise, I cannot
fancy as winners; Montague, however, is nicely
weighted at 7st, but will find his superiors
in the race. Rogers has four small cele-
brities in his stable engaged in this event. end it will
not surprise me were three out of the four to go to the
post. The game King Charming, by Orlando, out of
Insurance, 3 yrs, sst, is a pretty certain runnsr, and
should rain set in between now and then, which, by the
bye, is very improbable, hen will just about, if not
quite, repeat his dose of the early spring at Northamp-
ton. Mr. Crawford's Darkie, by Sir Hercules, out of
Dark Susan, 4 yrs, Est 51b, within the last four and
twenty hours has taken so decided a lead in the betting
market, that not more than 10 to 1 can be bad about
him, and as the money is on him, he will be the horse of
the stable on the day. It is only four years ago since
his owner won this race with the Cur, and from all ap-
pearances seems highly probable to do the same
on this occasion. Darkie's performances were last year,
at the Epsom Spring Meeting, running third in the
Trial Stakes, one mile, won by Bushranger, Knight of
Gwynn° second, each same age and weight; at Epsoin
Summer Meeting carrying Est 81b, he run third for the
Craven Stakes, one mile two furlongs was won by Col-
lingwood, 6 yrs, 9st 101 b; Kathleen, 3 yrs, Est Blb
second; was beaten into fits by Voltigeur for the Derby;
at Ascot carrying Est 131 b, run third to Mildew for the
Queen's Vase, two miles, the winner having 7st 51b to
bear, Officious, 3 yrs, Est 121 b second; at Brighton was
last for the Cup; at Egham carrying Gst 91b, run second
for the Gold Cup, two miles, won by Little Jack, 3 yrs,
Tat; at Epsom at sst 31b was again third in the Autumn
Handicap, one mile and a half, won by Sauter
la Coupe, 4 yrs, Est 81b ; Chief Justice, 3 yrs,
sst slb second ; this year at Eglinton Park,
with the Welter weight of lOst. 111 b up, he won the Irvine
Cup over the two-mile course, beating Castle, 4 yrs,
lOst 81b, Elthiron, 5 yrs, list 31b; at the same meeting,
carrying 1 Ist 61b, he won the Milton Stakes, one mile
and a half, beating the Marquis, 3 yrs, llst 71b, and two
others. These are the whole of his performances for the
last two years. With the exception of those run this
year, they are not of the most attractive description, but
as his form seems evidently to improve wonderfully since
his transfer to Newmarket, why I must e'en respect his
chance. Mr. Shaftu's Westow, by Melbourne, dam by
Muley Moloch, 5 yrs, 7st, will almost be sure to b
found at the post; end considering his weight and late
running, must prove even a dangerous antagonist
to his stable companion Darkie, to whom, how-
ever, he is at the weight said to be inferior.
Mr. Bevill's Mrs. Taft, a 6 yrs old, with 6st up, having
shown some fair running lately in various small stakes,
will be started for the off chance of this great go like-
wise, but I am afraid with very little chance of winning.
T. Parr's singular lot—for it is singular in every respect,
only one representing it in this race, and that a mys-
terious animal entitled Vancouver—stands about as
much chance of passing the winning chair first, as a re-
spectable member of the feline species does of descending
outside St. Paul's with perfect safety to itself. E. Parr's
lot consists of
.the Black Doctor, Woolwich, Sister to
Clothworker, and True Blue. Their feather-weight,
True Blue, by Trueboy, out of My Pet, I presume will
not be pulled out on this occasion, but left at home to
prepare for future events, or lie by altogether till
next year, as this animal gives several signs of being
a strongish customer next year. Mr. Saxon's Sister to
Clothworker, by the Prime Warden, out of Miss Whin-
ney, 4 yrs, sst 71b, is much more likely to run than the
former, and not improbably may do so in the company
of her stable companion, The Black Doctor; neither,
however, have any attractions for me. I do not look
any farther than the weight attached to Woolwich's
name, that being quite sufficient. Wadlow has a couple
of bad horses extremely lightly weighted, which, if
they ever possessed a chance of accomplishing any-
thing respectable, ought to do so now; my verdict,
however, is against them. Kent's lot now attracts my eye;
it contains Officious, Antigone, Hernandez, The Nigger,
Mokanna, Hesse Homburg, and Exeter. Now, I cannot
discover why the quondam crack Mokanna, except for
particular motives that will not bear mentioning, has
been precipitated from his high position, the horse being
in good trim, &c.; the cause of this, whatever it may be,
will perchance turn up in the course of the ensuing
week. Under the double current of backers trying to
get out, and those in the secret trying to lay, it will not
do for me to recommend any investments on this animal.
IJernandez's chance, 3 yrs, 7st 71b, is very queer, as he
does not seem capable of staying the distance, being
evidently a mile horse and nothing else. The
Nigger, if meant, would run forward, but as
I think they entertain no notion of attempt-
ing the Cesarewitch with him, I shall Icavo him
alone in his glory. Hesse Homburg, 3 yrs, Est 101 b,
cannot by any means win ; the same remarks may be
applied to Alr. Gratwicke'a Exeter. Percy's couple,

Oct. 13, 1851.

Vanipyre and the r.7,--and Duke, will be nowhere! Peek
also Kati a couple in l'arppita and La Fiancee; the latter
by Ithurie!, out of Bridle, 4 yrs, 43t 131 b, hue been very
much fancied lately among a taw of the knowing ones,
who have invested their cast upon her pretty freely. I
should prefer her stable companion Paquetta, as her per-
formances this year have been of a decidedly inferior
kind ; neither, however, I fancy, will be one of the first
four. Mr. Drinkald's treiner, Ford, has, singular to say, a
couple else of acceptances for this stake in Dulcet, end
Sauter la Coupe ; the former weighted at 6st 41b is au
aged horse, and the latter 7st as a five year old. Should
Mr. Drinkald have any idea of winning the Cesarewitch
this year it must be with Sauter la Coupe. Saunders
of Hednesford has a couple of Mr. Palmer's nags in
training for this race, Goldfinder and Trickstress. Up
to within a few days Triclotress was tet down as the
groat gun of the two ; the last fifty hours has changed
the aspect of affairs, Goldfinder having been found to
be the most valuable metal, and all but immediately
made a first favourite. Rhesus is of no use here. Her-
bert 5 yrs ist will be also valueless on this occasion.
Among the ts,el,,sa division the fsllowing a ill also
ligurc:—Cheerful, liuobor,,u Hal icut.
Narcissus, Calmat, Warwick, Miss Flyaway, a. d
GaylaBs. The reinaioin; horses' chances I ,hall.bricil}
glance at. The Steeple RIM Hurdle racer Beliford, under
the fanciful weight of 4st Sib for a iive.ytar olil, has been
forsupported a variety of trifling sums at 100 to 1
under. Windischgrafz, 4 yrs 7st, if run to win, and up
to the mark, has a very respectable outside cilanee, but
as lam not certain on any point respecting him, 1 all
nut commit myself. by sayicg anything more of him.
The Count's Valentine, though only Vkeighiod at Sat 111 h,
cannot possess much chance of winning, without a de-
luge should set in between now and the day of the race.
The great Nancy at Sat 71b, though tooled by Jove him-
self, I cannot fur an instant think has any chamee what-
ever of victory. Stebbing's Huperford and Barcelona
from Dilly's may also swell the field, and perchance run
uncommonly welt too. To sum up, the Cesarewitch of
this year will be between DARKIE, OFFICIors, or MO-
KANNA, GOLDFINDER, HIPPOLYTUS, and one of DZW-
son's COUPLE. The best of the lot probably will be
HIPPOLYTUS.
The remainder of the meeting will be noticed on
Monday. I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

staSkilles'—ofilt the tnwg• o afit rtshe
tde e of
days of thisiat w
meeting,
tinang,altomwie
will,
the
,ina
very brief Note, dispose of the remaining races of the
week. Wednesday's list is a perfect skeleton, with the
solitary exception of the Bedford Stakes, not one having
as yet closed and named. The Bedford Stakes, a sweep-
stakes of 50 soya. each, h ft, for two yrs old—colts,
Bst 71b; fillies, Bst 41b; allowances and penalties too
numerous to mention; to start from the Ancestor post,
and finish at the Duke's stand. The field will probably
consist of Little Harry, one of Lord Exeter's, one of the
Duke of Bedford's, the Joanna filly, and Mr. Greville's
FRANTIC; the last-named, with Nat up, the winner,
Joanna filly and Little Harry second and third.
On Thursday, a Handicap Plate of 100 soya. for three
years old and upwards, A. F.; a Sweepstake of 10 soya.
each for two yrs old, T.Y.C.; a Sweepstakes of 10
sovs. each for two yrs old, the winner to be sold for 40
sovs., first half of the Ab. M.; a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs.
each for two yrs old and upwards, the winner to be sold
for 300 sovs., first half of the Ab. M.; and a Handicap
Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, for three yrs old, D.M.,
have yet to close and name. The Dinner Stakes of 100
sovs. each, h ft, for fillies, Bst 71b each, T.Y.C., may
possibly be contested by Greengage, filly by St. Martin,
filly by Alarm, Plumstead, and perhaps Rosary. I
see nothing that stands in the way of Mr. Greville's
GREENGAGE being the first fruit on this occasion. The
Bretby Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h ft, for two years old,
fillies, Bst 71b each, last three-quarters of the Rowley
Mile. The field may be selected from Rosary, Trinket,
Toga filly, GLENLUCE, and RED BIND, the last two
finishing first and second. The 200 sors. Sweepstakes,
A.F., between Russborough, 4 yrs, Bst 71b; Bordeaux,
4 yrs, Bst; and Uriel, 5 yrs, 7at 81b; is certain—or
as certain as turf affairs can be—to end in the victory of
URIEL, Bordeaux being second, and I?ussborough, it he
runs, which is not very probable, last
The Great 1,000 sovs. Match across the Flat, at Bst 71b
each, between Mr. Oabaldeston'a The Mountain Deer,
and Sir Joseph Hawley's Teddington, will probably
result in a compromise on the Mountain Deer receiving
half forfeit; as it don't seem very likely that Teddington
will be brought out on this occasion.
On Friday, as usual, we have several skeleton stakes,
consisting of a Handicap of 20 soya. each and only 5
forfeit if declared by ten o'clock the evening before run-
ning; to go to the second, three years old and upwards,
T.Y.C.; another Handicap Sweepstakes for two
and three years old, T.Y.C.; and a Sweepstakes
of 10 sovs. each for two years old, the winner
to be sold for 40 Boys., first half of the Ab.M., all having,
as yet, to fill, &e. The Dinner Stakes of 100 soya. each
h it, colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 41b, the Bedford Stakes
course, will only be contested by HARBINGER and the
colt by Irish Birdcatcher out of Meance, former for
choice. The Match for 200 sovs., last half of Ab. M.,
between Mr. Law son's Caurire and Mr. H. Hill's EQUIRIA.,
will be won by the latter. The 300 sovs. Match, Al?.,
between the Duke of Bedford's Bordeaux, Sat 91b, and
Mr. Greville's ABIOSTO, ist 91b, my fancy awards to
the latter. The Produce Sweepstakes of 200
sovs., h ft, T. Y. C., will be won by Lord
Glasgow's filly by Alarm out of Physalis. The
Prendergast Stakes of 50 sous. each. h ft, &c., T.Y.C.,
with its numerous conditions, has 2S Subs. How many
of these will run it is almost, at pro ent, impossible to
determine; so many aro penalised among the good ones,
and not one of the others shining out brilliantly by him-
self, that I shall defer at present giving the list of
starters, pointing to Sir Pigott's Filius as the only at-
tractive animal, barring the great guns. Respecting
the Cesarewitch, since I indited my last remarks cn this
race Mohanna has been tried and found wanting. Darkie
has not satisfied the stable at Newmarket, and the best of
Dawson's turns out to be The Italian. Sauter la Coupe
has been invested on for a good stake of late and may
run forward; commend mo above all, however, to OFFI
CIOUS, GOLDFINDER, and HIPPOLYTIrs, as the trio from
which I fancy the winner will spring; the first and last
of these for choice, the Italian and Sauter la Coupe next
well up. Exactly as I expected, Nancy was scratched
on Friday afternoon. My remarks on the running at
Newmarket will be published in a brief form from day
to day.

Nancy was declared not to start at half-past four. The
alterations in the quotations against Uippolytus, Gold-
finder, Officious, L arkie, and Backbiter, were the results
of business transacted before the opening of the room.
Sauter la Coupe and The Italian were extensively backed
at the sporting houses in the morning, and had several
friends this afternoon; the betting, however, Was dull in
the extreme.
