WARWICK WAIFS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Independent of the sport, deep interest was wont to
attach to the Warwick meeting. The " fixture" was
formerly in the week preceding the great Doncaster
event, and it used to afford an opportunity for making
extensive movements and deoided demonstrations on the
S'. Leger. Still, although this opportunity will be partly
destroyed on the present occasion, because it is some-
what too early for certain operations, yet it will not be
altogether neglected, and we may therefore expect
that during the ensuing three days imprtant changes
will be made in the St. Leger betting.
A more attractive programme was never issued by
Mr. Merry, and never was the promise of more interest.
ing and ample apart ever presented at Warwick.
Jo lging fre m the numerical strength of the entries
large fields are likely to be brought out fur the principal
events. There will certainiy.be mettle attractive enough
fur professional book-makers, and the fine weather
which has just set in again will doubtless induce the
holiday folk of the locality to crowd to the course. Of
gentlemen sportsmen there may be only a small attend-
ance, many of them being either in the north, roaming
over moors, or trudg'ng over stubble with dog and
pin I gun. :

The country markets held on Saturday were very scantily
supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was
transacted, and priori were rather in favour of buyers.
Barley realised extreme rates, and all other articles except
flour were firm.

The Continental markers have ruled steady for wheat,
but the business doing in that article has been very mode-
rate. The shipments of grain and flour from the United
States continue on a liberal scale.

tip to our markets last week the arrivals of English
grain were limited in the extreme. From abroad we re-
ceived 23,382 quarters of wheat, 9,899 barley, 13,099 oats,
45 beans, 210 peas, 20 sacks and 9,899 barrels of flour.
We had only a limited show of old English wheat in to-
day's market ; but the arrivals of new qualities fresh up,
coastwise and by land carriage, were seasonably good.
The condition of the new wheat was not to say first-rate,
but, on the whole, it was sufficiently maul for millers'
purposes. Both old and new sampl..•s met a dull sale, and
prices gave way, compared with Monday last, Gs. to, in
some instances, Bs. per quarter, and much difficulty was
experienced iu effecting sales.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, especially
with Baltic qualities. The trade was dull in the extreme,
and, where sales wore forced, 2s to 3s per quarter less
money was submitted to by the importers.
There were very few inquiries for floating cargoes of
grain.

An additional day's racing has been provided at War-
wick, and the list contains a novel "feature," in the
Benevolent Fund Stakes, a race promoted expressly to
benefit the injured jockeys at Goodwood. The events
appointed for decision require no elaborate discussion ;
and, indeed, they might be dismissed in a very few lines.
The influence which they are likely to exercise over
future speculation will be very slight.
Seven nominations are appende 1 to the Racing
Stakes. The Abbot and Admiral of the White are, in
my estimation, the most attractive names, and The
Abbot may compel the Admiral to strike his colours.

The few samples of English barley in the mat ket changed
hands freely, at full quotations ; but foreign parcels were
less active, on former terms.

Malt moved off slowly, at last week's prices.
There was a fair quantity of foreign oats on glow, and
the oat trade ruled steady, at last week's quotations.
Both beans and peas were in short supply, and fair re-
quest, at full prices,

We had a dull sale for flour, and country marks were
2s. per sack cheaper. American flour was drooping in
price.

For the Shorts Handicap I shall trust my interest to
a couple of " bad 'una"—Octavia and the Queen Mab
mare, who have so much the best of the weights that
they really ought to be "very near winniug."

Should the money be " on," I shall have no hesitation
in allowing Quince to do battle for me for the Learning.
ton Stakes. Imogene, however, has been much talked
about ; if she retain her last year's form, and if she be
meant, she will be a most formidable opponent. Tifton's
success at Maidstone has caused attention to be directed
to his chance. The horse is weighted favourably
enough, but I have no expectations of seeing
him follow up his success. Of the three-year-olds some
expectation is entertained of Announcement. I shall
take Quince and Imogene against the field ; and should
auy "mistake" be wade with reference to the former,
the mare will doubtless pull me through in triumph.
The Castle Park Stakes will be won by either Gemma
di Vergy or Sneeze. The entry for the Warwick Cup
comprises some of our most eminent turf celebrities.
Fa4ncying, however, that the field will be somewhat
limited, I shall select Pretty Boy, despite the knocking
about which he has lately experienced.

The Avon Stakes seems on paper another "certainty"
for Gemma di Vergy.

For the Members' Plate my "fancy" is attracted
by Romeo, Gaudy, and South Western.

The acceptances for the Benevolent Fund Stakes have
to be declared this evening ; until they are known,
therefore, it would be useless to endeavour to pick out
the winner.

For the County Plate I may be induced to stand
Lord Alfred. There are, however, two bitter bad old
'uns turned loose, viz., Surgeon-General and Boer.

Poodle and Brinklow are my selections for the Welter
Cup.

British Remedy and the Giselle filly shall represent
my interest for the 501. Handicap Plate.
The Two-year-old Handicap has twenty-five nomina-
tions, and is likely to bring out a numerically strong
field. Tricolour and Cara Fatima may occupy the fore-
most places.

The Town Plate seem likely to be carried off by
either Lucy Lockit or Emulator.

The Derby meeting will commence on Thursday with
an average supply of sport. I will send my notes on
the probabilities from Leamington on Wednesday.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH•STREET.

THE EFFECTS OF THE BOTTLE.—Margaret Sullivan, a
dissipated looking woman, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing 121bs. weight of
beef, value 75., the property of James Baker, butchEr,
No. 87, Berwick•street.

The prosecutor stated that on Saturday night, about
9 o'clock, the prisoner went up to a board in front of
the shop and deliberately took up the piece of beef now
produced, put it underneath her shawl, and walked off
with it. He followed her, and as soon as be taxed her
with the theft, she dropped the 'neat on the pavement,
and begged of him to let her go. He declined to do so.
and gave her in charge.
Martin, 30 C, said he received charge of the prisoner,
who was the worse for liquor, and on the way to the
station-house she said it was a bad job, but she did not
care, as she should, no doubt, gat four years for it.
The prisoner, in defence, said she was mad drunk at
the time, and knew not what she was about.

Mr. Bingham--I will reduce your own terms ;it shall
not be four years, but I will lock you up for two months.
Walter John Haye, clerk in the navy, and William,
Carsdale, a clerk in the Inland Revenue, were charged
with being drunk and disorderly.
The charge having been proved, the defendants wero
fined ss. each, which they at once paid.
