There will be three meetings this week, viz., Stock-
bridge, liibury Club, and Newcastle. The Spy is the hope
of the Malton division for the Northua.berland Plate, and
he is justly entitled to be first favourite, but I am afraid
of his temper, or ho would be my selected. The fol-
lowing will likely be the probable starters : -- Honest-
ish (Cameron), Three per Cent. (Snowden), King's
Cross (Osborne), the Spy (Morris), Minster Bell
(Hudson), Mexico (Cradock), Russian Bear (Wy-
att), the Hind or Number Nip (M‘Ewen), Porn-
frett (Platt), Emerald (Mordan), and Myosotis::(llunt).
Tabuuret looks as nearly " dead" for the great event as
Bracken, The Drummer, St. Mango, and Crocus, who are
all scratched, after seeing 6 to 1, or less, in the market.
Three per Cent, has also gone to the bad since he touched
the same rate of odds, the report being that ho has been
" beaten in his trial" by the bookmakers' horse in the
same stable, Mexico. Yet his backers' money may not be
quite lost. King's Cross and Pomfret, Osborne's two, both
go badly, and the Middlelutur men do not fancy either, or
Mexico or Minster Bell, so much as they do M)osotis,
who disappointed his owner twice at Chester, and is yet
trusted again with a power of money. The Hind's stay-
ing I cannot believe in, and therefore I shall plump for
Mexico or Number Nip, next to which I shall expect to
see the Spy. The Queen's Plate has 15 entries, but the
best amongst them, to my thinking, are Three per Cent.
and Brennus. The North Derby Handicap Thorwaldsen
or Vansittart will win ; the Members' Plate Python or
Donald Bain ; and the Fourth Stephenson Biennial Sy-
rian or Eskdale. The Freemen's Nursery Handiettp looks
well for Siege Train or Eskdale, and the Seaton Delaval
Stakes flawkhead or Divulger ought to win.

The Eleventh Biennial, at Stockbridge, for 2-year •olde,
pos:Ably attract the attendance of the Saxon ;
and if all is true that has been said about hiui
the result of the rant is not a doubtful question, but there
is a little difficulty to Le encountered by meeting High
Church iu the coot st. Tha S:oclsbridge Cup lit:s a good
entry ; sl, or !wally all, the great guns go for it; and
as Knight of the Carter only carries vX;Ia for winning
the Cup la ,4 year, he uo doubt will think uotaing of the
p teal y. Sunshine will carri off the Champagne Stak,s,
makes an appe:tranc.. The Beaufwt Use--
die ip Its fwirt NM left in, the top weight being Paul Jones,
41yrs, Bet l2ib. Cock of the Walk, inAuding his penalty,
carries Bit 9.b, and Make Haste _•;st. All things consi-
dered, I take tha four year old with Fst up as about the
correct thing, an I therefore award the race to Make Haste
or Hobart. Tie., Croons Produce Stakes will be ca,ried
off by Pibroch, and the Coventry Stakes by Sunlight.
High Church will win the Mottbsfout Stakes, and Sun-
light or Sunshine the Troy Stakes; Cock of the Walk the
Hurstbourne Cup, and Dunbar the Tenth Biennial.

MET RUPUL I TAN FIRES.

Since Saturday morning uatil six. o'clock this
(Monday) morning, 11 fires took place in the me-
tropolitan district, among those in addition to those
already reported, was one at Nos. 95 and 96,
Cambridge-road, belonging to Messrs. J. Meeres
and others, which, i❑ spite of the timely arrival Gf
the engines and peaty of water, the flames could
not be extinguished until the warehouse on ground
floor, 50 feet lung, was neatly destroyed, and a
part of roof off. /Ile loss will fall ukon the County
and Phoenix office.

Another fire took place at 7 A, Iligh-ereet, Ken-
sington, belonging to Mr. Hamlin, also a furniture
dealer, which could nut be conquered until the
warehouse and upper part of the building were
severely burned—lnsured in the County Fire-office.
Origin of fire unknown.

A fire which was nearly attended with disastrous
results, took place in the premises of Messrs. Nobbs
and sons, boot-makers, situate in Mason's-avenue,
Coleman-street, City, which also did considerable
damage to the building and contents. This fire
was caused by the swinging of a gas bracket.
A fire also occurred at the private residence of
Mr. A. C. Farlie, No. 15, Palace-square, Norwood,
near the Palace. The firemen managed to get the
fire subdued, but not until part of the roof was
burned off.

A fire likewise happened in the private house of
Mr. H. Marshall in the City, which partially de-
stroyed an eight-roomed house.

THE EASTERN FISIIERIES.—The catches of
mackerel made by the Great Yarmouth boats have im-
proved during the past week. Some of the boats have
lauded at Yarmouth as many as 1,600 fish each. Prices
have ranged at Great Yarmouth at 185. to 245. per 120
fish. The deliveries of mackerel made at Lowestoft have
ranged from 1,000 to 3,000 fish each. One day as many
as 107,000 fish were landed at Lowestoft.

Rico Glasses, byVoigtlander, are now Ho logger the ex-
clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for
photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has
been afforded for applying mechanical power with the
greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and
most perfect instruments is reduced in price in sonic,
instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now
no dearer than those of the best French or English makers.
At the depot Callaghan, 23a, New Bond-street, corner of
Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby
may indulge
their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtliinder at
comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the
quality is as ever matchless.
111 r. Pullman, the palace car man, is about to start
from Chicago with two of his best cars, one for sleeping
and one fcr eating, and a select party of guests, for a rapid
trip to San Francisco and back. Mr. Crocker, the super-
intendent and constructor of the California end of the
Pacific Railroad, Mr. Simonton, of the New York Asso-
ciated Press, and Mr. Waite, of the New York Drovoort
Douse, are among the party.
