LATEST PARTICULARS THIS DAY.

The unfortunate disagreement was brought to a
crisis this morning. The directors remained firm
to the terms of the above circular, and the conse-
quence was that the firemen and drivers refused
Ito resume work this morning. Such a circum-
stance, of course, caused the greatest incon-
venience; but the directors called all the available
resources of the locomotive superintendents de-
partment into requisition, and they were thus en-
abled to prevent the entire suspension of traffic on
the line. The great object with the directors
was to keep the main line open, and in
this they succeeded, but the trains were, of course,
all delayed, and the mail bags from the different
stations were not all delivered at the Post-office at
12 o'clock. The suburban traffic suffered the
greatest amount of inconvenience ; and the immense
number of gentlemen. holders of annual tickets,
were unable, in many cases, to reach their offices
until 12 o'clock at noon. The Crystal Palace
traffic was damaged materially, as with the limited
means at the command of the company they were
compelled to make the despatch of trains in that
direction according to circumstances. The com-
mencement of the races to-day at Epsom brought
an immense number of persons to the station, but
they were compelled to avail themselves of the
facilities presented.by the South-Western Railway,
and thus a great strain was put on the arrangements
of that company.
The arrival and departure platform at London-
bridge presented a very unusual appearance in con-
sequence of the unusual number of engine-drivers
and firemen, many of whom formed themselves into
little groups, and discussed the matters in dispute.
At about one o'clock to-day the attendance became
so large that orders were given to clear the plat-
forms of all persons not holding tickets, and thus
the questions under discussion by the various groups
were at once put an end to. 'Whether matters will
be arranged during the day is more than doubtful,
as the directors seem determined to adhere to their
proposal, and the men themselves say they will not
return to work until their demands are conceded.

WARWICK SPRING MEETING.-MONDAY.

This protracted meeting was at last put an end to this
day, three steeplechase events being the last of the pro--
gramme. Notwithstanding the limited number of items,
and one of them ending in a walk over, what there was of
the sport was highly interesting. The big race (the Grand
Annual) produced a field of fourteen runners, and was
well worth witnessing. Shakspeare won easily at the
finish, to the astonishment of all who believed that stay-
ing was not his forte, especially when the heavy state of
the .grotind was taken. into consideration. -The Elk was
backed by the duke's party on the faith of -a good Oita
with Cortolvin, but failed to land their investments. BA-
ling on future events during the short sojourn on the
course was remarkable chiefly for the rush of Foresight
in the City and-Suburban cootat:ons, odds ns low as 7 to
1 being taken, which had . the effect of driving his stable
companion, Thalia, to 100 to 3. Below will be found a
full return of the day's proceedings :

Accident was first off, but after a hundred yards Game-
boy rushed to the front, Accident lying second, Fugleman
and Kinglake, side by side, being half a dozen lengths in
the. rear. The latter blundered at the fence into the Star
Meadow, nearly coming down, and refusing at the fence
preceding the water-jump, Page did not persevere with
him. Fugloman, at the same fence, came to grief, and
although instantly remounted, was virtually out of .the
race. Gameboy, jumping magnificently, maintained his
lead to the end, and won in a canter by sib lengths from
Accident, Fugleman walking back to the enclosure.

Shakspeare— 10 to 1 each agst Garus, Hornet, King Ar-
thur, and The Elk--100 to 8 each agst Hall Court. Phil-
osopher, Chimney Sweep, Knave of Trumps, and Clans-
man-100 to 6 agst Sea King-100 to 3 agst Fan.
The Doctor was first off, and led over the fence, but
when they had fairly settled in their places Philosopher
took up the running, closely attended by Hornet, Garus,
Knave of Trumps, and Chimney Sweep, the others run-
ning in a cluster with the exception of Shakspeare, Sea
King, King Arthur, and Fan, who brought up the rear.
At the fence preceding the water jump Garus refused, and
could not be persuaded to continue the contest, but the
others all got well over, and took the water jump in the
following order—Philosopher leading about a length, fol-
lowed by Hornet and Chimney Sweep, next to whom
came Sea king, The Doctor, Clansman, and Hall Court,
nearly abreast; Knave of Trumps, The Elk, Shakspeare,
and Farnboro' in close company, being a dozen lengths in
advance of Fan and King Arthur. With the exception of
Philosopher increasing his lead, and Knave of Trumps
refusing at the hill house fence, there was no material
variation in their respective positions all round the course,
the water jump being taken by the leading division
the second time in precisely the same order as above,
Farnboro' and King Arthur, at least twenty lengths
in rear of everything, being judiciously stopped as
they ascended the hill. Chimney Sweep, who had been
going well, began now to give way, and before reaching
the hill house fence he had disappeared from the front
rank; Hall Court, on the other band, rushing through his
horses, took up the running, followed' by Philosopher and
Hornet side by side, but when they appeared in sight ou
the far side Hornet had taken the lead, Philosopher, Hall
Court, The Elk, Shakspeare, and The Doctor lying well I

up with him, the remainder being now beaten off, the only
ones persevered with being Clansman and Sea King. At
the three-quarters of a mile post Philosopher. was beaten,
the mher fivo lying in close company,
.Hornet maintaining
.the lead until fairly in the straight, where Hall Court and
The Doctor gave way, Shakspeare lying wide on the right,
Hornet next the rails, and The Elk in the centre of the
course, commencing a desperate finish from the distance,
but Mr. Goodman nursing his lors3 fora final effort, called
upon him resolutely opposite the stand, and won by two
lengths. The Elk defeated Hornet by a length for second
money ; Hall Court was fourth, the Doctor fifth, Sea king
sixth; Clansman seventh, and Philosopher walked in next.

Chimney Sweep and Fan both pulled up when pursu

NOTES

FROM

TRAINING QUARTERS.

(THIS DAY.)

EPSOM

The rain of yesterday has not rendered the course
so heavy as was expected, for the wind was high
during the night, and this morning the going was
pretty satisfactory, which probably would not have
been the case but for the chalky and absorbing na-
ture of the Downs. William Day was out early
with Armourer, who followed Historian in a nice
steady mile and a half gallop. Joseph Dawson sent
Little Rover a mile and a quarter fast, and
Qui Vire went uncommonly well. Goodwin
did plenty work with Hatty, Prima Donna, and
Panacea ; and William King with the Skipper and
British Tar. Bates sent Deceiver nearly two miles,
quietly though. Amongst William Goater's team
were Longdown, Foresight, Timolaus, Ulphus, and
Miller's Maid, all of whom galloped a mile and
three-quarters freely, Longdown going as strong as
a lion. The home lot did more or less work, ac-
cording to their requirements. John Dawson gave
Mount Palatine and Rus in Urbe one mile
fast, and the two-year-old .Gloire de Dijon
cantered only. Henry Goater galloped Abcrgeldio
and Defiance all a mile and a half, and both 'went
beautifully. Mat DawsOn merely trotted Wild
Agnes about, but Novice led Ninny and Osprey a
mile pretty speedily. Sam Rogers vas paying great
attention to Sydmontou and also gave Red Comyn a
mile gallop. Jennings took Plutus a mile and three-
quarters gently. Dover gave the pretty and fast
Hatchment three quarters of a mile spin. Bloss
rattled Broomielaw along, and the horse moved
beautifully. His temper has evidently improved.
Shepherd's Treasure Trove attracted attention by
the freedom with which he moved ; and so did
Hayhoe's Jasper, who followed Tourmalin and
Camilla a mile and three-quarters, the lot look-
ing very fit, as did Suffolk. The Amanda
colt cantered freely, as - did the Irish horse
Fitz-Ivan. Overture led the Mayonaise filly
a mile and a half, and the latter moved superbly.
Neither Clarice or Spes" took"iwith the "watchers."
Moulsey and Jezabel did a mile and a quarter at
three parts speed ; but we did not see Conundrum.
In fact, the above were all that we noted that were
active.

PLARKETS.—This day.

HAY.

SMITHPIELD.—Meadow hay, £2 Iss to £4 153; clover,
£4 Os to £5 lOs ; and straw, £2 Os to £2 6s per load.
A moderate demand.

WHITECHAPEL.—Meadow hay, £2 15s to £4 12s ; clover,
£4 Os to £5 12s Od ; and straw, £2 Os to £2 6s per load.
Supply tolerably good.

COLONIAL.

TEA.-,Business has been very dull, and there has been
no material change to report in prices.
_ _ _

SUQAlt.—The demand for West India, descriptions has
been very moderate, and but few sales have been effected
at barely previous rates. In the refined market there has
been a moderate inquiry, but without any material altera-
tion in value.

COFFEE.—Thero has been a moderate enquiry for
colonial descriptions, and as the stocks on hand are stil
below those of the corresponding period of last year
prices generally aro well sustained. ,
RICE.—The demand has boon to a fair extent for cleaned
descriptions, and prices generally aro well supported.

TALLow.—There has been but little business doing in
the tallow market during thO week, and prices weroa trifle
more in faVour of the buyers. The demand from the home
trade has fallen off very considerably. There have, how-
ever, been a few trifling orders for export, but' at low
figures. The market is quiet at St. Petersburg
at 411 silver roubles, the exchange 32 31 - 15.
The recent advance here had induced a few purchases,
but the market was again quiet. To-day the market is
steady at 43s Gd. Buyers for that month and April to
June, 435 941 ; and 44s to 44s 3d October to December
On the spot 43s 9d is paid for new y. 0., and 43s 3d old:

RAILWAY AND TELEGRAPH INTELLI-
GENCE.

The Maine Legislature has passed the bill relin-
quishing in favour of the European and North
American Railway the claim of the State to
$150,000 worth of public lands, subject to the debt
due from Maine to Massachusetts. The railroad
enterprise has already secured the investment of
over ten and a half millions of capital, of which the
British provinces have taken over nine millions and
Maine the remainder.

The stockholders of the Housatonic Railroad, at
their annual meeting at Bridgeport, Feb. 22, elected
John Z. Goodrich, of Stockbridge, Massachtsetts,
president; David Leavitt, of Great Barrington,
Mas'sachusetts, vice-president ; and Charles K.
Averill, of Bridgeport, secretary and treasurer;
and, including the officers, the following as a board
of directors :—Nathaniel Thayer, of Boston, Mas-
sachusetts ; George W. Peet, of Falls Village ;
Daniel Marsh, of New Milford ; Samuel IVillets,
of New York ; William 11. Barnum, of Lime Rock ;
and JOhn L. Stuart, of Bridgeport.
The contiustion of the St. Stephen's branch rail-
way is now far advanced. It is eighteen miles
long, and a link in the chain intended to connect
New Brunswick with the United States.
A bill has passed the New York Legislature
granting $250,000 towards the construction of the
proposed Whitehall and Plattsburgh Railway on
the west side of Lake Champlain. The new road
will give the country between Kingston and Pres-
cott a shorter route to New York than is now fol-
lowed, and will bean important feeder to the Grand
Trunk Railway.
