SPORTING NOTES.

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE.
The betting on the last great handicap of the season,
which stands for decision to-morrow, has now assumed a
more settled appearance. Last week Weatherbound, from
a reported favourable trial with William Day's horses, came
with such a rush that she was soon installed first favourite,
which position she still holds, notwithstanding the large
sums of money intrusted to Prelude, the intended of John
Scott's stable. The field will be about the same as the
Cesarewitch, selected from the following:—

Golden Pippin

Brassey ............

The nover has too much weight. Maggiore is likely to turn
but the Simon Pure of the, American lot, and it would not
astonish me to see Itlr. Ten Broeck perform the same feat
as he did with Prioress in the Cesarewitch of 1857, when
his colours were borne successfully past the chair after a
dead heat with Prioress, El Hakim, and Queen Bess; and
in the same race in the following year he was again nearly
successful with Prioress by running a dead heat with The
Brewer for second place, only being beaten by Rocket for
first place by a short head. Whether Optimst or Maggiore
carry the money, one of them is almost certain to be in the
first three, if not the actual winner. Fravola will,
it appears, be the selected of Wolcott's stable.
The filly has great speed, but the distance will
be too far her. However, she will run well. Contadina
will represent Fyfield, and if she only run up to her Oaks
form, where Avalanche only beat her by a neck for second
place, she will be troublesome to the favourites. Mdlle. de
Chantilly, Nuncia, and Angelo have arrived, and will re •
present the French interest; but which may be their
selected, or what may be their prospect of success, I have
not the means of knowing. Of Godding's four Golden
Pippin must again be the sheet anchor of the stable, and
she will greatly improve on her Cesarewitch performance.
The Tupgill representative will be Sir William, who is
made to get this particular course ; but he is little favoured
in the weights, the Admiral having handicapped him very
closely with Ripon and the Rising Sun.'k These three, it
will be recollected, had at Manchester the finish for the
Union Cup (one mile and a quarter) to themselves, the
Tliginz by a head, Sir William being
third, a head from the latter. The Riving Sun had 41
41b the best of the weights with both his antagonists, but
he is now made to carry equal weight with Ripon, and
both give 21b to Sir William. There is little to boast of in
any of their subsequent performances, but as they all pos-
sess fine speed, I expect to see the trio acquit themselves
respectably; and more improbable things have happened
than that ono of them should be telegraphed the winner
on the afternoon of to-morrow (Tuesday). The Whitewall
etsble will have two dangerous representatives in Pre-
lude and Benbow, on the former of whom I place the most
reliance. The Ashgill stable is numerously, if not strongly,
represented. Lady Trespass, instead of giving 151 b to
Dulcibella, now meets her at a difference of 71b only, and
Moorcock runs with her at a difference of llb instead of 91b,
whilst to Sutton the Cesarewitch winner has to accord 151 b.
The latter, when the handicap appeared, was thought to be
so " well in," that the public at once " jumped on," but
their ardour soon cooled, and when it is considered that at
Manchester he was a long way behind th 3 trio above enume-
rated for the Union Cup, receiving 61b from his stable com-
panion Ripon, and that subsequently at the same meeting
Sir William beat him cleverly, giving him 81b, it must be
admitted that the four are handicapped to a nicety. Sutton's
only success was over Flash in the Pan at the York Spring
Meeting, but he has greatly improved since, and is likely
to turn out the best of Osborne's. The distance will be too
far for Thunderbolt, though he may perform respectably.
Ticket-of-Leave, though not a very brilliant performer, has
run more than once respectably, and now " in" on
most favourable terms, he must have a great chance.
Weatherbound, with 6st 101 b, is not favourably " in," her
best race being with Avalanche at the Epsom Spring Meet-
ing, where she was beaten by a head, Fravola finishing
within a head of her, each carrying 6st 101 b, and the dis-
tance being a mile. In the Oaks Contadina finished a head
only from Avalanche, consequently Weatherbound, Fra-
vola, and Contadina are bound to finish close together. The
former suddenly jumped on Thursday forenoon from an
outside place to the rank of first favourite, owing to a re •
port gaining credence that she " cleaned out" all the Wood-
yates division. If so she must be " dangerous." Killi-
grew, if at the post, will run better than he did in the Cesare-
witch, as he could have been much closer at the finish, but
was not persevered with. Brassey has been occasionally
nibbled at. He was backed for the Derby, and with his
light weight he ought to have a good outside chance.
The only others amongst the light division that I have
any fancy for are Cavriana, Dartmouth, Little Dick, and
Roesia ; and if an outsider accomplish the overthrow of the
favourites, I think it will be Roesia. The following half-
dozen will produce the winner :—Roesia, Golden Pippin,
Prelude, Weatherbound, Maggiore, and Sir William
and, by way of anticipating the judge's fiat, I will place
them in the following order :

ItOESIA
GOLDEN PIPPIN 2
PRELUDE

For the 200 sous Sweepstakes on the Abingdon Mile,
Diophantus will scarcely run after his exhibition last work,
and though high the prices given for Canto and Pagoda,
neither have quality sufficient to compete successfully with
Russley, the newly-named colt by Oulston out of Phemy,
who will thus again add another rich stake to Mr. Merr7's
long "tot" of two year old winnings.

To the All-aged Sweepstakes of 100 soya each, 1 ft, and
25 if declared, &c., on the Bretby Stakes Course, there
were originally 15 nominations, 5 of whom declared. Every
ago has ita representative, still I doubt if the field will reach
half a dozen, to be selected from Thormanby, Thunderbolt,
Walloon, Brown Duchess, The Rover, Jingling Johnny,
and M. Philippe. The four former, having each won
this year 400 soya, are penalised 41b. The contest is
likely to lie between Thormanby and Brown Duchess,
and as the former will have to give the filly 291 b., she must
have my confidence, the distance being three-quarters of a
mile only.

Thursday's list is equally well filled with stakes, of which
the most important is The Glasgow, in which Klarikoff
may recover the reputation he lost in his defeat by Folke-
stone. In the Sweepstakes over the Ab. M., Walloon
ought to beat Cowley. And in the Free Handicap, A.F.,
Viatka or Horace seem to me to have the others safe.
Friday will be absorbed with the Nursery, to which
there is the largest subscription on record, and all doubt of
there being two classes is removed. Of the closed events,
the only one I am enabled to take any notice of. is a Sweep •
stakes of 500 sous., for two year olds, which, if Imaus is fit,
he will win, but, in his absence, I should stand on Sweet
Hawthorn.
Saturday's bill of fare is likewise in a skeleton shape, but
will assume very proper proportions by the day. The two
items that are closed are not in a position to be meddled
with at the present time.

A FRES/I MAN.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY.

The favourites, Weatherbound and Prelude, were freely
supported to-day, and Sutton at one time was backed as
107., as 100 to 9, but was not quite so firm at the finish.
Maggiore, who was friendless yesterday, advanced to 14
to 1 (taken), and Golden Pippin had friends at the same
figure, but Thunderbolt was not in force to-day. Sir Wil-
liam would hayo been backed at 20 to 1, tho locker ramiug

EXTRAORDINARY RIOT IN SHOREDITCH.

THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.

On Saturday night High-street, Shoreditch, was the
scene of a riot which at one time threatened to assume a
most serious character. It appears that for some time past
an attempt has been made to persuade the shopkeepers to
close at an early hour on Saturday night. An agreement
was entered into, and on Saturday night last, after the
time named, a draper named Lloyd did not close, alleging
that some of his neighbours had not kept to their bargain.
A dense crowd collected round the doors, and rotten eggs
and other unpleasant substances were thrown in at Mr.
Lloyd and his customers. So determined were the crowd,
that some persons in it stopped customers who were enter-
ing the attacked premises, and said, " Don't go in there,
you'll be robbed." The aid of the police was called in, and
the result is, that seven young men aro in custody.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS AT

WORSHIP•STREET (THIS DAY).

William Symons, 19, Francis Blackhill, 21, Joseph
Clisby, 19, Charles Allen, 20, Frederick Bennett, 22,
Edgar Balding, 18, and Edward Lidewell, 26, were charged
with disorderly conduct and annoying the complainant in
his business.

The court was densely crowded, and party feeling ran
high.

Mr. Beard appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Lewis,
jun., of Ely-place, for all the prisoners.
Mr. Edward Lloyd, called by Mr. Beard, said he was a
draper, carrying on business in High-street, Shoreditch.
On Saturday night an immense crowd of about 1,000 per-
sons collected round the door, and amongst them were all
the prisoners. Clisby was fastening bills upon the goods
exposed for sale. The bills run as follows :—" Early
Closing Association. Perkins are requested not to shop
after 7 o'clock." Witness requested Clisby to desist, and
then the prisoners and crowd commenced hooting, and
some of the prisoners took hold the of customers and said,
"Don't go in there; all of you will be robbed." After
some expostulation a riot took place, and witness was
smothered in rotten eggs, dust, and peas pudding. (Roars
of laughter.) The riot commenced at half-past 8 and lasted
until half-past 9. The crowd called out, " Why don't you
shut up ? " Why do you keep open and rob the public ?"
The prisoners are shopmen to Mr. Rotherham, who carries
on business as a draper five doors from witness. Witness
was much afraid, and the mob threatened to break the
wmauw.. "%Vanes» was se terrified that he' sent for the
police. The prisoners caused the riot. Symons, Black-
hill, and Clisby commenced the riot. Witness went in
fear of Mr. Rotherham's young men.
Cross •examined by Mr. Lewis—Mr. Rotherham employs a
great many young mon. 'Witness was one of the drapers
who agreed to close at eight o'clock on Saturday in the
winter months, and nine in the summer, and signed a
document to that effect. Witness found that other trades-
men did not keep their word, and wrote a note to Mr.
Rotherham that, Lin self-defence, he:must keep open. On
the first night witness closed, bitt on the second kept open
until half-past nine. Clisby was the person who came
first on Saturday last, and some of the other prisoners
were behind him. When Clisby was pinning the bills to
the goods witness took up a pole and meant to
drive Clisby away, but not like a heavy dragoon.
Did not strike Clisby in the stomach with the pole. After
this the egg business took place. Most of the prisoners
were recognised and charged at the station-house. Would
not swear the eggs were rotten. Did not intend to close
earlier. Would close when he pleased, and declined to say
what time he opened.
The magistrate was clearly of opinion that the shopmen
to Mr. Rotherham had, no right to coerce Mr. Lloyd in his
business.

Mr. Lewis—No. I do not contend they have ; but I
shall show that Mr. Lloyd commenced the riot with his pole.
If it be necessary I would rather take the sense of a jury
upon this case.

Witnesses were called for tha,complainant, who fully
bore out his statement.

Mr. Beard asked if he should go on, being quite ready,
or whether his worship would rather the case be adjourned ?
Mr. Lewis had been hurriedly instructed, and thought
in justice to the prisoners it should be adjourned. He
could prove that some of the prisoners were not present.
He would admit that Symons, Blackhill, and Clisby were
present, and the others not.

The Magistrate—They are all sworn to ; but I will hear
your witnesses as to the three.

After Mr. Lewis had addressed the magistrate,
The Magistrate suggested that witnesses should not be
called, and that it should be sufficient to call upon the three pri
goners named to enter into their recognisances to keep the"
peace. The conduct of the prisoners was most discreditable
to the early closing movement; and the law would put it
down. As to the other four prisoners, they would only be
required not to offend again.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT MESSRS. NICOLL'S, RECENT-STREET.—
Thomas Harrison, robe maker, Thames Ditton, Surrey, and
James Armstrong, 37, Great St. Andrew-street, tailor,
were charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing, at 45,
Warwick-street, Regent-street, a surplice, 5 hoods, silk
robes, and 24 silver masonic ornaments, and other articles,
the property of Measrs. Henry, John, and Donald Nicoll,
merchant tailors, of Warwick .street and Regent-street.
Mr. John P. Murrough, of Warwick-chambers, appeared
for the prisoners.
From the evidence of Mr. Donald Nicoll, it appeared that
the prisoners had been in his employ since Juno last, and
that on Saturday evening, seeing Armstrong hurrying away
from the premises with a parcel, he had him stopped by
the manager, and, on the parcel being opened, it was found
to contain the above-named goods, the parcel being directed
to "Mr. Harrison, Thames Ditton, cloak-room, Waterloo
Station." The prisoner Armstrong, when asked whether
he knew what the parcel contained, said he did, and that he
was acting under Harrison's direction, and that he was to
meet him at the station, and there the officer took Harrison
into custody on his coming for the parcel.
Brown, 128 C, proved taking Harrison into custody on
his asking for the parcel, he (Harrison) saying it was his
parcel. He afterwards went to Thames Ditton and searched
his house, and the property produced was given up, consist-
ing of white surplices and four black robes, but not cam
pletely made up.
Mr. Murrough having cross-examined the and
the evidence having been read over, addressed the magi
witnesses,te
i
in a very energetic manner on behalf of the prisoners, who
were remanded on bail.
It was stated that Harrison formerly carried on
sive business in Chancery-lane as a robe maker, his business
afterwards being transferred to Mr. Nicoll.

The leading country markets, held on Saturday, were
but moderately supplied with wheat; good and fine sam•
pies were in steady request, at very full prices ; but in-
ferior r area's ruled inactive. The barley trade was firm,
and late rates were fully supported. All other cern moved
off freely, at extreme currencies.
Throughout the Continent, wheat, and other kinds of
produce have continued somewhat active, at very full
prices, although the supplies on offer are seasonably exten-
sive. In the United States large quantities of produce are
still on offer. The shipments to England are very large.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
produce were limited. From abroad, we received 25,656
quarters of wheat, 4,819 barley, 19,740 oats, 1,400 rye,
6,294 beans,
7 yeas, 917 tares, 2,965 linseed, 14,024 rape-
seed, 317 sundry seeds, 1,870 sacks, and 13,699 barrels of
flour.

The quantity of wheat received fresh up, to-day, both
from Essex and Kent, was very moderate, and, for the
most part, in middling condition. The demand, however,
on the part of millers, was much restricted. However,
good and fine samples were disposed of without difficulty, at
prices quite equal to Monday last, but all other kinds were
a dull enquiry, at irregular currencies. The attendance of
country buyers was less numerous, owing, possibly, to the
large number of floating cargoes reported off the coast last
week.

With foreign wheat we were well supplied. Importers
of both red and white qualities were firm in their demands ;
but the business doing was by no means extensive. In the
value of all kinds no quotable change took place.
Floating cargoes were held at very full prices, but the de-
mand for them was less active.

We were scantily supplied with both English and foreign
barley. On the whole, the trade was very firm, at extreme
rates for good qualities.

Both old and new malt commanded very full prices, with
a good demand.

Oats were in fair average supply and steady request, at
full prices.

Both beans and peas were scarce, and in demand at ex-
treme currencies.

There was only a moderate inquiry for flour, at last week's
prices.
