Tuesday night.

In consequence of several fresh arrivals, and the interest
excited by the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, the com-
pany, notwithstanding the rain, was infinitely more nume-
rous than yesterday. As the result of the race alluded to
has occasioned material changes in the Derby betting, a
few remarks on it may not be unacceptable. The three
favourites, Bentley, Viator, and Brother to Marpessa,
were backed to a considerable amount, while Glencoe found
little favour, as he was looked upon as the safest horse in
the race. Tric Trac made running at a very moderate
pace, Glencoe and Bentley next him, and Brother to Mar..
pessa in the rear ; nor was the speed mended till they got
to the bushes, where, for the first time, it looked like racing.
Its effect was immediately conclusive with Viator and Paris,
who had nothing more to do with the race. Glencoe was
the first to challenge Tric Trac ; Brother to Marpessa then
went up, and as soon as they reached the cords Bentley
joined them ; this lot, kept together till within a few strides
of the chair, when Chifney (on Brother to Marpessa) made
his usual rush and failed, as Glencoe had the race in hand,
and won cleverly by a length. Bentley beat Tric Trac for
the third place by about a length, there being the same dif-
ference between him and Brother to Marpessa. Brother
to Kate (Mr. Mills's)was fifth, Paris sixtli.iand Viator last.
The Three Hundred Sovs. Stakes was one of the most
extraordinary races ever seen. Lucius, who was first fa-
vourite, coming in last (having pulled), and Baleine, the
worst favourite, winning by at least seventy yards, there
being a still greater space between the second and third,
and full a quarter of a mile between the third and fourth.
Pavis rode the winner.

MONEY-MARKET.—It has been very cur-
rently reported this afternoon (Wednesday) at the
Stock-Exchange, that the intention of Lord Althorp,
in effecting the conversion of the 4 per Cents., is to
offer to the holders, for every 1001. of that stock, 100/.
stock in 3 per Cents. Reduced, and 1 ls. 6d. in
Long Annuities, which are terminable in 1860. The
effect of this proposal, as regards the stockholders and
the Government, would be as follows :
XlOO 3 per Cents. Reduced is now worth £9l 0 0
1
11s. 6d. Lon Annuity, ending January,
1860, at 171, is worth
9 16 11

•
Total to be given for 100/. 4 per Cents. 100 16 11
The annual interest on-
-1001. Reduced is
£3 0 0
Long Annuity..........

Consequently the Government would save 3
6d.
per cent. per annum on the whole amount of 3 11 6
the
Cents., which, assuming that to be 11,000' 001314 per
be about 47,0001. per annum. As this plan however
willve
r
is not yet officially announced, any remarks on the
tendency of it would be premature.— Times.
A letter dated the Rhine, April 26, gives
the following intelligence :—" By accounts from Berlin
of the 21st, we learn that a change in the composition-
of the Ministry has actually been made there, in con-
sequence of which Her Von Rochow, Regency-Presi-
dent at Merseburgh, takes charge of the affairs of the
Interior, in the place of Her Von Brenn, who is re-
moved to another department. The appointment of
the new Minister gives much dissatisfaction to the
Liberals. The judicial investigation respecting the
late political seditions is still carried on at Berlin with
great activity, and several persons have recently been
arrested. It is expected that the Ministerial Congress
at Vienna will continue to sit until June."

IRISH FRUGALITY.—James Roche, a la-
bourer, who works on the estate of a neighbouring
gentleman, has saved not less than eighty pounds, in
nine years, out of ninepence a day 1— Waterford Mail.
