THE SUN,

TO THE EDITOR OF ;.I.IE SUN.
Slit,--For the Cup, or grand dept. the Ascot olym-
PicS, yesterday was decidedly be. w par in several
respects, particularly in the racln department ; and,
notwithstanding the generally at 4 .tive feature to the
major portion of the large familyll John Bull—the
presence of Royalty, the attendant though great, was
by no manner of means equal t that of last year,
when the Flying Dutchman wont e Emperor's Plate,
or in fact to any of tbo three or )ur previous years.
The racing possessed, comparativel, but little interest
to the turf habitues. With one sc;oary exception, the
New Stakes, in which one or two eminent favourites
fo next year's Derby figured, 1.0 racing wets very
mediocre, having been in every iotance contested by
see .)nd and third-rates ; the runnel even for the Em-
per:les Plato forming no exceptioi 'o this observation.
As specimen of the "is and oi." running to which
forty ne treats the Marquis of El ter, his Lordship's
Phlegetbon (by trial proved to h inferior at a mile
and a. mile and a half to Midas) ortfuesday beats The
Ban E y a head for the Ascot Derby. and yesterday The
Ban e lakes all the running for the St. James's Palace
Stakes, and wins with considerable ease from Midas by
at least a length. Here's a turf prs lam for the know-
ing ones to solve. It must be rem. abered that in each
instance it was no question of healo or distance, both
having been determined beforehand. The race for the
Emperor's Plato was a very unint resting affair: the
withdrawal one after another, at int..vals of a week or
so, of The Flying Dutchman, undoul dly the best horse
of 1849, of Voltigeur, the best of las year, of Nutshell,
a very respectable second-rate, ant, Justly, of Buss-
borough, rendered the struggle fa this imperial gift
anything but attractive in the eile of that eccentric
" republic, club, community, 'ycfr2t the ring," or
even in those of of r0A2%.0i, was evinced by
the very littte speculation thapi has taken place
on the rice. In the contest Wy wich came when
called upon, had the race in hand stile stand, andw())ns
cleverly by a length; Little Jack, note the better
hundred
for
li
severe race on Tuesday, was pumped out a
yards from home; he, however, beat Trouncer for second
I
cond
place by a length. Windischgratz fourth and la
half fancied that some lively game wan to be played off
by the Russborough party; my conjecture was
past
right: at
the last moment, about twenty-five
rminutes
Piet one hour and ten minutes beforet the
ace
as run,
Mr. Mangan posted a declaration
this tothe effectthat
was done for I e
Russ-
borough would not start; what
say, although with numerous others I think I can guess;an
one thing, however, is very certain, considering the horse
was in the vicinity of the course and quite well, it was
anything but a creditable affair, and occasioned a great
deal of murmuring in the ring. The result of the
New Stakes justified my anticipations; I remarked in
my last note that I could not " discover anything to
beat the Phryne colt (Bro. to Elthiron, Windhound, and
Miserrima) for the New Stakes; the Queen Anne colt
must not be altogether forgotten." The race was not for
an instant in doubt, Brother to El thiron when called upon
lea cameth . away from his horses and won cleverly by a
g Grey Tommy, somehow or other, obtained the
second place; the Queen Anne colt was third. We must
now tarn from royal Ascot to cockney Hampton, where
some sport, or what is called such, will come off on
Wednesday and Thursday next. It is not my intention
to touch upon this meeting until Monday or Tuesday,
when the entries for the various stakes will be complete.
Manchester now puts in its claim as the principal pro-
vincial meet of the ensuing week, with a very respect-
able "bill of fare," if anything rather above than under
the average. The performances will commence :on
Wednesday, as usual, with the Trial Stakes, which is
not entered for as yet. The second race will he for the
Biennial Stakes of 10 sous. each, with 50 added; one mile
and a half. To this stake there are ten nominations.
including the poteat name of the Derby winner, whom,
however, Ido not expect to see ar, the post. Constel-
lation, The Queen Bee, T h Black Doctor, and Louis
Napoleon also figure among the entries. The race will
lie with BLACR DOCTOR and CONSTELLATION; Louis
Napoleon, if he runs, third. For the Manchester Union
Cap a large field will go to the post, including, in all
probability, Blister, 4 yrs, 5;1 :10lb; Woolwich, .5 yrs,
Bst 51b; Osbaleeston, 4 yrs, 6st 81b; and ono of Scott's
trio—Champion, 5 yrs, 7st; Uriel, 5 yrs, Bst 71b; or
Vanguard, 5 yrs, "st 101 b. This lot, I fancy, includes
the winner's name, which, in the absence of Uriel (said
to be intended for the Northumberland Plato), may pos-
sibly bo WOOLWICH, CHAMPION, or VANGUARD, the first-
named for choice: nearer to the mark than this, at the
pre sent moment, out of an entry of 68 horses, I cannot go.
A Produce Stakes of 10 sovs. each, h ft, with 100 added,
One mile and three-quarters, sports an entry numbering
33, which includes THE PRIME MINISTER'S name ;
this once magical cognoraination ought to head the
others in the "return lists," and what is mare, Will, if
they choose to run him; in his absence. The Black
Doctor, Constellation, and Serve, will be first, second, and
third. On Thursday the colt by Simoom, out of The
Queen, better known as the BROTHER TO SHYLOCK, will
give Paddy Bird and the remainder of the field the go-by
for the Two Years Old Stakes. The King of Troy will
not get a nearer place than third. The Tradesmen's Cup
of 300 sous. in specie, added to a handicap sweepstakes of
20 sous. each, 15 ft, &c.; two miles; will attract a good
field to the post, which Candlewick or Pitsford may,
perehenee, win; but, Woolwich, 5 yrs, Bst 51b; Rhesus,
5 yrs, 7st 81b; Pandemus, 3 yrs, 4st 10Ib; and Tight-
waist, 3 yrs, sst 41b, aro worthy a slight consideration.
I will give a more definite opinion next week, when I
have discovered which way the money goes. GOLD-
FINDER, LE JEN', and Sin WILLIAM. WALLACE, the
first two for choice, read the best on paper
for the 5 son. Handicap Stakes. On Friday,
TIGHTWAIST will, in all probability, win the
Castle Irwell Stakes; Teddington, of course, will not
start; and Ido not think he Black Doctor will either.
For the Salford Borough Cup of 100 sous. in specie,
added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 soya. each, 5 ft.,
&e., one mile and a half, I should hardly think that
Woolwich, the top weight on the list at Bst 81b, would
be pulled out. The lot from which the winner will
spring is formed of Haricot, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, Alonzo,
yrs, 7st, Candlewick, 4 yrs, Est 41b, Unity,
3 yrs, sst 41b, and Paquette, 3 yrs, 4st 41b.
ALONK.O and PAIUTETTA for choice. Haricot
fd Unity will run extremely well; third and fourth,
M ond no nearer. My remarks on the Derby of 1852 on
ay.
The betting this morning in town is very dull; a few
horses have been supported at the under-mentioned

good request t full rates.
MAURITIUS—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with a more active demand privately, and realised full
rates; a /Able sale of 2,559 bags went at 365 to 39s for

Cocoa.._ro-day at public sale 203 bags Bahia Cocoa
were taken as at 285 for good red.
COFFEE. —This afternoon operations were trifling in
all sorts of Coffee by shippers and home dealers, and
former rats were not be obtained. The value of' Na-
tive Ceyies of the usual import is 37s to 38s. At auction
12 casks amaica sold at 44s to 45s for fine fine ord, and
39s 6d to 41s for low to good ord. 497 bags Batavia,

Tase—Further reduced rates have been accepted for
Coniou; thero has in consequence been a good demand
for the lower sorts for home consumption, many parcels
est....been taken for exportation, but the supply is on
the increase, and likely so to continue. The prices
taken for ord have been 10d to 104 d, and for good ord
lOid to lld per lb. In medium to rather strong blackish
leaf sorts operations, however, are upon a small scale
at 1 lid to Is Old, and in good to fine at Is ld to Is 7d,
indeed for the best kinds prices are little better than
nominal, the business transacted having been trifling
for some time past. Oolong can be obtained at is to Is
8d; yet few transactions have taken place. Fine Gun-
powder and Imperial met with more demand this week,
and realised the previous currency, the supply being
limited ; but other sorts of green have been purchased
with reluctance, and there being a large quantity still
on the market prices incline downwards, both for the
ord and better qualities. For scented and Pekoe Teas
rather lower terms having been acceded to, occasioned a
fair business to be transacted.
Rim—Holders of East India are not disposed to
further give way in price, and refrained from submitting
any to public sale this week. The demand privately has
improved, and about 7,000 bags have been sold, chiefly
for exportation; the value of good to fine white Bengal
is 9s to 103 6d, mid 8s 6d to 8s 9d, low and broken
7s 9d to Ids 3d, Madras 7s to 7s 6d, Corringa grain 7s 9d
to Bs, Arracan 7s 6d to Bs, and cargo 7s to 7s 6d per cwt;
there are large purchasers rather under these rates.
Cleaned sorts have been only in limited request; Patna
at 103 to 13s, fine 143 to 153, town dressed Carolina 20s
to 255, and American 163 to 17s per cwt. In Sago the
private operations are small at 153 to 225. At auction 7
cases of fine white rather large pearl sold at 32s to 378
6d. Flour remains dull of sale, and is to be obtained at
143. Of Tapioca 225 pks at auction were only in part
sold at 2d to 4id, but 36 cases Tapioca Flour realized
Id. Arrowroot is not much in demand, and at public
sale 313 ties 16 cases Jamaica were only in part sold at
4d to Sd, and 20 pkgs Tousles Mois 2d. The value of
Bermuda Arrowroot is Is to is Id, and East India 2d to

at 4ad to 4id per lb for middling and good middling.
SPIRITS,—The market is firm for East India Rum,
and Is 3d to is nd paid for several parcels proof
strength. For Leward Island there is a good demand,
prices, however, are not better, and rule at is 4Ad to

quest, but holders are compelled to accept moderate
rates. The parcels sold were 30 to 35 per cent.

have been sold at is 10d to 28 2d for 30 to 40 per
cent over proof. There is a smaller stock of Rum
than last season by 2,600 puns, &c., and deliveries
are better than of late. In Brandy a good deal has
been done, and holders have confidence. Cognac, best
brands of the vintage of 1850 realized 4s 4d to 4s 6d,
1849 ditto 487'd to 4s 9d, 1848 ditto 4s lld to 5s Id, 1847
