7RALVING REPORTS.

I.AM3OURNE. - On Tuesda; we Live iu the Tc, o Thou-
sand North Briton, Belladrum, and Plenipotentiary.
North Briton I have not seen the' last w.?ek, and Plenipo-
tentiary has some very bad understandings. Belladrum
looks in the bloom of health, and I expect that he will be
the only one that will go to the post, and if everything is
ri,iit on the day, I think he will catch Judge Clark's eye
fir.A. Friday.— St. Munn led The Parson and Bella-
&um a canter of three-piarters of a tuik, and then PhGebus
led Belladrum and St. dunio a mile, all pulling up sound
and well.
EINCISCLERE.—At Newmarket next week Blue Gown is
matched against Vespasian, and ho will win. Two Thou-
sand—Siderolite and King Coplictua are Sir Joseph Haw-
ley's nominations, and of these I profcr the chance of the
" King," who will run much better tLan many people ex-
pect, and I am fully prepared to find him become before
the day a much better favourite. lie is certainly worth
standing for a place, and if he would Only run kindly it
would Like the favourites all t .eir time t..) lower his
colours. Ho has been doing very we I indeed since his re-
turn from head-quarters. I have no great opinion of Side-
rolite, thinking him only a moderate horse. Sweepstakes
of 2CO sovs—The winner will be found in the filly by

Asteroid out of Madame Elentine, who will prove a clip-
per. For the One Thousand Morna is doing well, in fact
I never saw her going in better form, and my opinion at
the time of writing is, I cannot see one engaged that ell'
beat her. I believe her to be a greatly improved Ili!), since
last seen in public. I am unable to say wh...t goes to head-
quarters, but no doubt blue Gown, King Copthetua,
Morns, Madame Eglentine filly, and two or three others
will be sent.

NawmAitkET.—At our meeting next week, in the Prince
of Wales's Stakes, we have Knight of the Garter, Ves-
pasian, King Victor, Pirate Chief, Silenus, Sycee, Vauban,
Badsworth, Dryad, De Vere, Le Sarrazin, Nine Elms,
Typhon, Robspierre, Royal Rake, Electricity, Per►p Down,
Cork Jacket, Sagittarius, Wildbad, curieuse, Brudgato,
Albania, British Lion, Achilles, Champagne Charlie,
Brother to Ravioli, and Alma Mater. These have all
been doing good work up to the time, and my opinien is
that the best of Jennings' will win. The Sweepstakes of
20 sovs will fall to the best of Mr. Millet's, as also the
Sweepstakes of 15 sovereigns. Two Thousand—
Typhon has done some good work, and is fit
to run, but I think not class enough for this
event. Alpenstock will not do, having been coughing.
Ishmael I have not seen of late. Of Mr. Chaplin's lot,
Sagittarius is the best, and if he will only perform the
same in public as in private ho would ruu forward. Mat-
thew Dawson has Chatelherault, Goatfell, Athanor, Absti-
nence, Martyr, and Tenedos. 1 need not say snore than
that the last-named is the best at. present. Jennings has
Perry Down, and he is a good-looking horse, with good
action, and has done plenty of work. In the same stable
are Consul, Boulogne, Nelson, and lie Saphir. These
have been going well, and Perry Down 1 believe to be the
best of the lot. Rowsham, Wildbad, and the Hermione
colt have all done good work. The last-named is the
best, and will run well. Royal Rake I cannot believe to
be beyond a moderate horse. The best of ourlot to stand
on are the Hermione colt and Typhon.

Thursday.—Honesty was sent a rattling
gallop of two miles, Honestish joining in the last mile, the
old horse going first-class. Osborne's King's Cross and
Weatherstar galloped two miles:at a good pace. Disraeli,
Minaret, and Bard of Erin were ou the High Moor. Fubert
galloped Bracken, Fortunio, Blair Drum,uoud, Vansittart,
Netherwood, Terroi, Duchess of Athol, Nectarine, and La
Charontonue two miles. Win'er's Three per Cont. and
Dlexi,:o galloped the same distance. Dawson sent The
Dean (Cameron up) to lead Pretender a good gallop of a
rui e. Pretender went strong and well. The Miss Sarah
colt led the Tons Bowline colt, Young Melbourne horse,
Mandrake, and Thorwaldsen a nice steady gallop of nearly
two mites, and the rest of his taus did good mile work. In
the Prince of Walts's Stakes, ut Newmarket, we have
Disraeli engaged. Ho is a useful horse, very fit, and
will nearly win if sent. Two Thousand.—Der-
\Tulle, although he has improved since last year, still
requires more time. He has no chance for this. Pre-
tender is as fit as hands can make him, and will win
this event, and be bad to beat iu the Derby. Duchess of
Athol and Minas et are Loch well and in strong work fur
the One Thousand. The "Duchess" is a neat filly, and
very quiek, but Minaret will be our best. She, however,
is rather short of time, and 1 like her chance better iu the
Oaks, as she is a good stayer, and will be fit by then.
STOCKBRIDGE.• -At Newmarket I expect we shall have
a few go, especially for the made-up races overnight. In
the Prince of Wales's Handicap The Alderman is entered,
but ho is very moderate. Atonement is in the Spring
Stakes, but I should say she will not run, as she has
scarcely done any work since Epsom. In the Two Thou-
sand we have only Espartero engaged, and he is very mo-
derate, and has only been leading some two year olds
gentle work in the afternoon. Iu the Newmarket Two
Year Plate Duckling, Lady Annie, Lady Louisa colt, and
Calypso are engaged, but I do not think either will run.
One Thousand—. We have Scottish Queen, Dentebe, and
Miss Foote engagtd. The two first-named have done a
good deal of work, and lit us hands can make thaw, but
Miss Foote is not so ripe, nor du I Wilk she will go to
Newmarket, but if she keeps sound she will be wanted
very shortly. The first named will be the best from here,
and although she makes a noise she wilt be very hard to
beat, and I shall expect to see her first or second.

LEWES.— Drewitt has several engaged.
Scarborough is in a sweepstakes of 10 EOVS. lam afraid
there is ono that will be too good for him, that is Roma,
but ho Nvill be able to take Lis own part if they want hint.
Provider is in the Spring Stakes, where he will meet his
old opponent Atirtra. 1 think the colt lilies a distance of
ground Lest. Ile is doing good work, and looks fit to run.
On Tuesday, Scarborough is in a sweepstakes of 200 soya.
I don't know what sort of company he has to meet, and I
think he might win. Drewitt has only Ethus in the Two
Thousand Guineas, and he has not done work enough to
win any race—in fact, ho is doing very little work, not
enough to get him fit for a race like the Derby, and unless
he is sent along very soon I shall think his chance for the
Derby hopeless, but I suppose Drewitt knows best. In
the Newmarket Two Year Old Plate, Elsham, Scar-
borough, and Sentry Go are engaged. Of this lot I fancy
Elsham the best; there won't be a much better looking
two-year-old stripped in the race than he is, and he is
bound to make a racehorse, if ho does not win this time,
and I shall always look after him.
RICIIMOND.—We have only one engaged at Newmarket,
Lord Zetland's Valtz, in the One Thousand. She has
done a lot of good work, and goes freely and well. On
Tuesday, Goant des Batailles and Valtz went a nice
steady gallop. /Eothen led Falkland, Fragrance, King
Cole, and Tunstall filly good steady work. The Rind,
Evelina, Flora, and Retort did long steady work. Night
Guard led the two year olds steadily along. Stella and
The Gleaner went two miles at a good half-speed gallop.
Annie Stewart led Bob, Great Grimsby, and Fusee smartly.
Lancaster went a three-mile gallop steadily. Wednesday
.Eothen led Brennus two miles steadily. Night Guard,
Dark Cloud, Bedmate, Cavendish colt, and Kettledrum
colt went three-quarters of a mile in good form. Hugo
followed, at some distance, steadily. Auchinlock, Flora,
and Retort had a good gallop for two miles. Flora is in
the Great Northern, and goes particularly strong and
well. Evelina did a mile in grand form. Number Nip
went freely and well about a mile and a quarter. Last
Rose of Summer went a mile steadily.

ILSLEY.—At Newmarket, we have Athena and Lady
Beaconsfield in the Prince of Wales's Stakes. The first-
named has plenty of weight to carry, and I think that
Lady Beaconsfield won't like the distance. We have
nothing in the Two Thousand, and only Luna in the One
Thousand, but she is moderate, and won't run. Target
arrived here to-day (Thursday) from Lewes, and is to lead
Lades in his work for the Derby. Friday—This morning
Dover was out, as usual, with his team, and after walking
them for some time, Cap-a-Pie led Ladas and Target a
canter of about three-quarters of a mile, and after which
Target led Ladas a gallop of nearly two miles, being at a
good pace from end to end. The Derby horse finished up
in fine style. The remainder of the team did only healthy
exercise. Dalby had two cantors and a steady gallop of
about ono mile and three-quart re, going first-class.
STANTON.—Thursday.—The Oracle, Lady Evelyn filly
(3 yrs) and Sportsman galloped one mile and a half. Free
Trade and Salliet went one mile steadily. Ampleforth,
Lady of Croome, and Bun Block had a good gallop of half
a mile, The following cantered three quarters of a mile
twice :—Lord of the Valley, True Heart, Ruric, Jacque-
line colt, Parma, Fidelia, Lady Evelyn filly (2 yrs), and
St. George. See-Saw only did walking exercise.

31A.LT4;N.---At Newmarket, in the Two Thousand, we
have Tasman and Fecialis. They aro both well and fit to
run, but the class of horses they have to meet I am afraid
will be too good for them. Merry and Wise is engaged in
a Sweepstakes of 300 F °vs, and also in the Prince of
Wales's Stakes. This mare has undergone a strong pre-
paration, and she will take her own part in both races.
FITIELD.—This morning (Friday) Portsmouth had a
rattling gallop with Punishment and two others, and he
had all the best of it at the finish ; Punishment second.
Rep.ort here says Heather Bell, Make Haste, Boundary,
Juanita, and Skipjack were put through the mill early
this morning, Heather 801 l doing all that was asked of her.
In the Prince of Wales's Stakes we have Bosworth en-
gaged. He is well, but I have noticed he has only been
doing walking exercise this week and I should say he is
not wanted for this race. The Two Thousand Guineas—
Portemouth, Tom Taylor, and the Cant:ne colt are en-
gaged. The two last-named aro doing no work at present,
and Portsmouth, to my thinking, is Lot half prepared, and
so I have no hum) for him. lu the One Thousand we
have Cathie, Boundary, and Heather Bell engaged. They
have all been sent along, going in good form, Taylor pay-
ing great attention to them, and I think the best of this lot
will about win.

ClibTANCE.—This jockey has been specially retained to
ride Alpenstuck in the Two Thousand.
King Cophetua and Morna have been tried together, and
we have reason to believe that Sir Joseph Hawley was
perfectly satisfied with the "King's" performance.
CoLouns or EIDERS.—Mr. Ravenfield: Red, yellow
sleeves and cap. Mr. Corwall : Violet, silver braid.

THE CHAVG-.73 OF lIE.R.ESY AGAINST Mr.
BENNETT, OF FROME.

The charge of heresy against Mr. Bennett, of Frome,
came yesterday before the Court of Arches. An important
point was raised at the outset. An application was made
on the part of the promoters of the suit that the letters of
request from the Bishop of Bath and Wells should be
accepted by the court. _ _ _

Air. A. J. Stephens, Q.C. (with whom was .or.
Tristram), made the motion, and urged that the Bishop
having issued his letters of request, the Court was bound
to accept them and hear the suit. The Bishop of London
had issued his commission, 'before whom evidence was
taken in the case in November. On that report being
forwarded to the Bishop of Bath and Wells, his lordship
sent letters of request to this court.

Sir R. Phillimore observed that he did not find any
reasons why the court should accept the letter of request,
or why the case should be sent from an inferior to a supe-
rior court. Ile could not find any reason set forth in the
letters.

Dr. Stephens submitted that it was not necessary.
His Lordship said the point of the learned connsel then
was that they were not letters of request, but in effect
letters of command from an inferior court to a superior
court.

Mr. Stephens thought his lordship bad correctly put the
point, and cited the 13th section of the Church Discipline
Act, which he read.

Sir Robert Phillimore : Your proposition is that I have
no option.

Mr. Stephens : That is so, my lord, provided the letters
xre properly made and executed.

Dr. Tristram, on the same side, said the practice under
the Church Discipline Act was not to assign any reason.
Mr. Stephens said but for the new rule of the court this
present application would not have been necessary.
His Lordship said the question was certainly an im-
portant one, and he would consider it before he gave his
°Pinion.
