stab!e will about win. Rays Handicap -Mars, Morning
Star, Stork, Coup d'Eclat, Islam, Harebell, \Tula,

mer, Masterstroke, B.ue Stocking, Mrs Quickly colt, cud
Maclaine Egkialiate filly, all going to Cannon Heath.
Mastersti-oke led The Palmer a couple of canters of a mile

cise. Thimday— The team was out very early, compris-
ing Mc;rna, ttosicrucian, Ambitious, Thu Paltrier, Waif,
Masterstroke, Blue Stocking, Mrs Quickly colt, and Ma-
eataie Eglentine filly. Some steady exercise was done in
the hollow ; Masterstroke leading The Palmer a couple of
canters of a mile and a quarter, the others doing only
healthy exercise. Salamis I have not seen out since my
last.

CIULTON. —At Windsor, Stevens has Chivalry in the
Etou and Windsor Handicaps, but I don't think he will
run, as he has done no work this week. Nursery Handi-
cap.—Mimus is in. I have not seen the weights yet, but
your readers must keep him on the right side ; he can
gallop a bit when he is wanted. Rays Handicap.—Acttca
looks and goes very well, but I don't think Windsor will
be her journey. Thames Handicap Plate. - Chateau Mar-
gaux is doing but very little work.

LEWES.—The following horses are doing work:—
Young Fenton, Provider, Workman, Aintree, Macaroon,
Watteau, Perditi, Witless, Buccaneer filly, Elshain, King
of Trumps filly, Scarbro', Cape Flyaway filly, and Sim-
plon. They are all looking in the best of health, and
going well. Provider at one time showed a bit of temper,
but he is very quiet now, and I expect to see him win
some good races this year when he gets a man on his back.
Young Fenton also looks and goes well, and I would
advise your subscribers to follow this horse whenever ho
runs, as he will be sure to pay them for their trouble.
HEDNESFORD —We h_►ve President Lincoln engaged in
the Windsor Handicap. He was in rare fettle when he
left here. Though he is rather out of his distance, he will
about win. •We have not much rattling work doing here.

tho following are doing nice steady work : - Vex, Wake-
fiLld, horse by Artillery, Mistletoe, Matilda, Villany,
Fragrance, Official Assignee, Candlewick colt, Divoret,

Duck filly, and Neptunus filly.
STAvrox.—At Windsor we have See Saw, Salliet, and
Fidelia entered in the Eton Handicap, butyour subscribers
tier see the numbers up first. See Saw and Ruric
are entered iu the Windsor Handicap. The last-named
will win if wanted, for his running this week is too lad to
be true. On Tuesday, Fidelia, Lord of the Talley, Curio,
and Oracle had a gellop of two miles. Salliet, Parma, St.
George, and Lady Evelyn filly (2 y,s) galloped a mile.

RATES ol' FREIGHT ANDCHARTER.

(From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.)

The tonnage loading on the berth for India,

China,

the Cape of Good Hope amounts to 62,073 tons, and for
Australia and New Zealand to 68,920 tons.

Berth freights aro unchanged, and there is not much
animation in shipments.
There bas been no perceptible change during the past week
in coal rates for the Eastern ports. The inquiries are still
very limited ; but as there seems to be a steady decrease
month by month in the shipments, it is, perhaps, not too
much to hope that an improvement may before long set
in. Homeward rates are also low, and there is little duin:e
in chartering on this side just now.
A good-sized vessel can be placed for Callao at 245., but
rates generally for the West Coast are weaker. For Mob
londo 30s. to 325. W. is offered for iron. From the Guano
Islands GOs. is obtainable for Mauritius, anti from $l7 to
$lB for Spain—the latter only foe forward vessels.
There is very little dcing in iron to the United States,
and the parcels at present in the market are only Suin-
g:lent for small ships. 4s. Gd. per qr. wheat or petroleum
is offered from New York to United Kingdom, and ss.
from Montreal.

In Brazil and West Indian Preights there is nothing
new to notice. Tonnage is still wanted for St. Thomas
and Havana. There is se—te inquiry for Monte Video
at 28s.

The Mediterranean and Black Sea Coal Freights exhibit
a slight improvement, more especially those for the
Italian ports. A steamer is wanted for Trieste from Hull,
at 255. per ton rails. There is, if anything, more anima-
tion in grain chartering, the most noticeable feature in
which is the increased inquiry for tonnage from the
auub e.

Miss Rye took out another batch of emigrants-180
in all—on Thursday, in the screw steamer Austrian, bound
from Liverpool for Quebec. There were about 100 single
women, eight families, and eight single men. The women
were principally domestic servants.
A town's meeting was held at Glossop, on Thurs-
day, to petition in favour of the Sunday School Rating
Exemption Bill; and at, their monthly meeting, on Wed-
nesday, the Town Council of Chester ordered that the car-
potato seal should bo affixed to a similar petition.
The paper mill of Messrs. Hamilton and Co., Glas-
gow, at Ballyclare, was totally destroyed by fire on Thursday.
The stock, machinery, and buildings, of the value of up-
wards of £20,000, were consumed. The establishment
was a most prosperous one, being worked both day and
night.

The Weekly Register says that the only Irish
Roman Catholic peer present at the Duke of Marlborough's
on Saturday was Lord Gormanstown, and he, it is said,
"unhesitatingly threw in his lot with the enemies of his
faith." Tho Register believes that he will prove a solitary
exception.

Major-General Haynes, as he chose to call himself,
or (as his real name is) John Walter M'Alpine, who com-
mitted bigamy for the sake of the money of a Miss Lee, to
whom he was united on tho second occasion, was on Thursday
committed for trial by the alderman sitting at the Mansion-
house, on a charge of bigamy and fraud.

THE REJECTION OF THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.
—Various rumours are afloat as to the crisis. Among
other things, it is stated that Ministers now anticipate the
rejection of the Irish Church Bill by the Lords on the
second reading. It is also said that preparations for the
prorogation of Parliament have already commenced.

Mr. Noel, the Conservative "whip," has given
notice that on Monday next he intends to move for a new
writ for tho City of Dublin, in the room of Sir Arthur Guin-
ness, who was unseated. It is stated that the issue of the
writ will be opposed by the Government until the bill
for the disfranchisement of the freemen has been accepted
or rejected.

A London correspondent sets down the debts of
the Duke of Nowcastle at .£400,C00. Perhaps (it is added)
not more than £60,000 of this is hard cash. The rests re-
presents bills, commission, and other species of accommo-
dation. TLe Duke married a Miss Hope, whose dowry was
an estate of £lO,OOO a year, settled on herself; and on the
death of her mother sho will probably come into a fortune
of a million and a half. Mrs. Hope has offered to pay ss. in
the pound if that will effects complete clearance.
At a special meeting of the executive committee of
the Lancashire Reform League, held in Manchester on
Thursday, it was moved by Mr. Edward Hooson, seconded by
Mr. Richard Barker, and carried unanimously—" That in the
event of the Irish Church Bill being rejected by the House
of Lords, it is expedient that immediate steps be taken to
reorganise the Reform League, and to agitate for such an
organic change it the constitution of the hereditary branch
of the Legislature as shall bring it into conformity with the
spirit of the age, and render it impossible that by its indi-
vidual action the expressed will of the people on a distinct
appeal shall be rendered abortive.

A disagreement has arisen between the Recorder
and the magistrates of Liverpool. The former thinks
that five sessions in the year for the trial of prisoners
are sufficient, and that to hold them oftener occasions
inconvenience to the bar and to the juries. The ma-
gistrates think there ought to be no less than eight,
and there have been as many as ten and they say
that to hold only five is to inflict a great hardship on
knocent prisoners ; and as the Recorder is determined to
carry out his view of the matter the magistrates have issued
a remonstrance. This he disregards, and the visiting justices
recommended the borough justices, who held a meeting
on Thursday, to communicate with the Homo Secretary on
the subject. Before taking that course the magistrates have
"respectfully requested the Recorder to re-consider his de-
cision."
