BANK OF ENGLAND.

An Account, pursuant to the Act 7th and Bth Victoria,
cap. 32, for the week ending on Wednesday, the 11th day
of April, 1860 :

" Sir,—Lord Portsmouth wishes me to publish his answer
o my letter informing him I had scratched Buccaneer for
he Two Thousand Guineas. I consider that it would be
paying t)o great a compliment to the persons who have
tried to fix an odium on the noble lorces decision. It is
sufficient to say the horse was affected with surfeit or heat
lumps, which spread from his back to his legs, consequently
rest and physic were indispensable. With respect to the
unusual variation of the odds against the horse, it has been
ascertained that it was owing to an agent in the stable in
communication with certain bettors in London. Lord
Portsmouth and his friends (myself included) have backed
Buccaneer for the Two Thousand Guineas,—Yours, &c.,
" H. I. Rous.
734,461 I " 13, Bcrkeley-square, April 20, 1800."

The foregoing letter, which confirms our version of the
cause of Buccaneer's decline in the Two Thousand betting,
is a just and deserved rebuke to Lord Portsmouth's tra-
ducers. During the past week his lordship has strictly in-
vestigated the conduct of his stable boys, and sufficient has
already been elicitld to necessitate the dismissal of two of
them, one being the head lad who looked after Buc-
caneer. Next week we hope to lay before our readers the
full details of this disgraceful transaction, which is not un •
likely to be the subject of legal inquiry. In the meantime,
we may state that all the parties concerned therein are
known.

We have been requested to state that Tom Sayers was
only got safely to London by being placed in a horse van
belonging to Mr. Samuel Rogers, at Newmarket, and taken
by post-horses some distance on the road, to a place where,
in a suitable disguise, he was able to make his appearance
at a railway station, and thus get safely to London. We
have also been requested by Tom's father to make it known
that the rumours as to his being of Irish descent are utterly
untrue. Mr. Sayers says he was born at Steyning, Sus-
sex, and his ancestors were for many years inhabitants of
the same county. Tom's mother also and her family were
Sussex people.
