TURF NEWS, &c., FROM NEWMARKET.

The frost, which has continued with slight intermission
for the last few days, has partly stopped horses in their
work. The gallops on the race-course end of the town
have not been so hard as to entirely preclude their taking
steady work, but trainers aro anxiously looking for a
speedy change in the weather.

A two-yr-old by Diophantus has arrived at Joseph
Dawson's, to bo trained.

Threo more two-yr-olds from the French Stud have
arrived at T. Jennings's.
Peter Price is about erecting a large range of stabling,
with a dwelling-house, on the Ely-road, nearly opposite

the French stables. Messrs. Ball and Son, of Saffron Wal-
den, are the builders.

An inquest was held on Saturday last, at the Marquis of
Granby, New Town, before N. Yorke, Esq., coroner, on
the remains of Henry Ruse, late clerk of Mr. James Man-
ning, who committed suicide by precipitating himself down
a well. Nothing transpired at the inquiry to account for
the act. It is satisfactory to know that his accounts with
Mr. Manning were left quite correct. The jury returned a
verdict of temporary insanity.

ileurlys was struck out of the Liverpool Steeplechase
yesterday (Tuesday).
