half a length between the' second and third ; Hopeless
Star was fourth, Little Charley fifth, both well up
with the third. The next lot consisted of Emigrant,
Forest Queen, and the Potter, who were pulled up
at the distance. Far behind them were Seaman,
Jean du Queens, and British Yeoman, who had been
pulled up, and not persevered with. These were fol-
lowed at a very long interval by Liverpool Bey, Pasha,
and Juvispaway.
The chapter of accidents did not comprise any very
exciting incideuts. Harry Lorrequer ran against same
people on nearing Beecher's Brook, at the very outset
of the contest, and on passing the Grand Stand the first
time he was hopelessly in the rear. Sir Peter Laurie,
who seemed to break down after crossing the water-
jump opposite the Stand the first time round, was pulled
up and took no further part in the race. Victor Emma-
nuel fell at the second fence, got loose, proceeded rider-
lees over the remainder of the distance, and cause in with
the loading horses. At the fence facing Beecher's Brook
Emigrant, in the first round, made a " mistake," got hie
reins over his head, and was not righted before the lead-
ing horses were far in advance. In the second round
Banstead fell at the fence beyond the road, and dislo-
cated his shoulder so severely that it was feared he would
have to be destroyed. Stamford was pulled up after
crossing Beecher's Brook the second time. Dan O'Con-
mall, whilst running pretty fOrward, fell at a fence by the
canal side before entering the race course coming home.
Lritish Yeoman, who was also well up with the leading
horses broke dews' on entering the race course the last
time. The horses that formed the first division were is
front throughout. The Potter, Frank Picard, and Jess
do Quesne also showed prominently in the race until
after re-entering the race course. The pace throughout
was very severe. In canclusion, we are glad to state that
no injury was sustained by any of the jockeys.

'llls weather was favourable, and the attendance of NUS
pa ay much more numeroue than on the preceding day.

The Board of Trade returns for the month end-
ing 31st of January were issued this morning, and
show au increase in the declared value of our ex-
portatioun still larger than that exhibited in the
preceding month. it was then 1,470,9691 slid
in the present instance it is 1,509,9901. This is
partly attributable to the impulse given to opera-
tions of all kinds during the last two weeks of the
period by the announcement of peace, cotton, linen,
and v,-oolen yarns having been largely shipped to
the continental manufacturers, who then regained
confidence. Almost all classes of goods, however,
have participated in the increased business, with
the exception of cotton manufactures, the falling-
off in which was to be expected after the extraor-
dinary increase presented in the previous return.
It is to be remarked, however, that this falling-off
is intrinsically greater than it appears, since allow-
ance must be made for the advance in the price of
the staple since the corresponding month of last
year. A
,further improvement in the total of
Haberdashery and a moderate increase in hard-
wares, cutlery, and leather tend to indicate a re-
-11 Atoiczo.—This horse is struck out of the Doncaster
vival in the Australian trade. Handicap and the Granby Handicap.
With regard to imported commodities, most Gt..'
the principal articles show an increased consump-•
tion. For the first time for some months, how-
ever, the quantities of breadstuffs do not present ,
an increase. Tea, coffee, wines, spirits, tobacco,
and spices, all figure for large totals. Sugar st;:li
exhibits a heavy falling off.
