TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—The Press is the engine of 500 horse power—and
it sets the great wheels in motion.
The state of Spain is deplorable ; nothing but a speedy
armed intervention on the part of the Liberal Governments
can save it.

It may be useful in you to state—that France should
occupy Pampeluna and Saragossa—and England should
send 10 or 12,000 men to garrison St. Sebastian, Bilboa,
and St. Andero—so that the Spanish troops may be set at
liberty to put down the rebellion, and at the same time se-
cure those important places for the Queen, and keep the
adjacent country in peaceful obedience to the Government,
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
A READER OF " THE SUN."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
Newmarket, Sunday Night.
The principal events for decision during the ensuing week are the
2,000 gs., the 1,000 gs., and the Newmarket Stakes. The first-
mentioned stakes seem booked fist. Lord Jersey; but whether with
Ibrahim or Silenus is doubtful. Should the atter be selected to
run, the Manchester party will no doubt back their horse (Stock-
port) freely, on the strength of his running second to the_ Stag last
year, after a very short preparation. Excepting these three, and
Stargazer, who ran a dead heat with Burden in the Craven Meet-
ing, we see nothing in the race likely to have a chance. The
I,ooogs. Stakes, judging from public running, is as safe for Mr.
Greville, as the 2,000g5. Stakes is for Lord Jersey; his mare (Pre-
serve) looks and goes well. Guerdon, a clever runner last meet-
ing, and Hester, are the only opponents she has to fear • but little
or nothing is known as to what will start. Bodice is the favourite
for the Newmarket Stakes ; she won a race in the Craven Meeting,
and is much fancied. Indeed, the stable is in much greater force
than usual ; the field for this Stake will be pretty good as to number,
if not as to quality. Besides 'these the list contains the average
number of Produce Stakes ; in other respects, is not so pro-
mising as we could have wished.
The following horses (three-yrs-old) are in training for their

THE LATE TROTTING MATCH.—Several inaccurate state-
ments having appeared, with regard to the time in which the
distance of thirty-one miles was performed in the late trotting
match between the horse of Sir Norman Lockhart and the
mare belonging to Mr. Lockhart of Glasgow, we have to state,
on the authority of one of the gentlemen engaged in the bet,
e,
that the thirty-one miles were trotted by the mare (the winner
in two hours four minutes and a half, the horse coming in,ei t,`‘
minutes after. This account may be depended upon... a \
doubt if anything like this has ever been accomplished la .-eot-,
land, if we except the extraordinary performtilice••.Of Douglas''
Duke of Hamilton, who, many years ago, trotted his cele.
brated horse from Edinburgh to Hamilton Palace, a distan
of thirty--six miles, in two hours and a quarter.—Gjasms,
