BOW.

The miserable weather of Saturday was a sad contrast
to the previous day, and was anything but cheering to the
admirers of out-door sports, so that the attendance was
very limited. The principal event was the deciding heats
of Messrs. Munns and Nichols.

Handicap of 150 Yards.—The eleven preliminary trials
had been run on the preceding Saturday : those left were
again drawn in lots and decided as follows :
First Heat.— Clark, 18 yards start, came in first ; Webb,
4, was second ; and Phillips, 9, third. Webb gained the
start, and passed Phillips, but was not able to catch Clark,
who won by four yards.
Second Heat.—Adams, 23, first ; Gooch's Novice, 15,
second. This proved a very fine race; more especially by
the latter, who was not able, however, to cut down the
eight yards advantage he had given his opponent, so Adams
won by one yard and a half.

hird Heat.—Purser's Novice, with the long start of 27
yards, came in first, before Hadley's Novice, 10 ; Purser's
man gained further advantage in getting of, and won as
he liked.
Final Heat.—The above three winners now came to run
off for the prizes. After a well-contested race Purser's
Novice wen easily by four yards ; Adams was secowl ; and
Clark, a yard behind the latter, third.

W. Symonds and J. Frost.—Both are of Millwall, and
had to run 120 yards for .£5 a side, Symons being allowed
a start of two yards. It was a fino and most determined
struggle on the part of Frost, although he was not quite
able to get up to Bymons, who in the end won by a foot
only.

W. Davis, of Islington, and J. Halo of Clerkenwell.—
This was a race of 150 yards level, for £5 a side. For the
" mutual consent" dodge to get off ten minutes was
allowed, when, as is mostly the case, the time having been
wasted, the aid of John Goulding was called into requisi-
tion to fire the pistol, Mr. W. Woodstock acting as referee
They jumped off simultaneously, and for nearly half the
distance ran shoulder to shoulder ; Davis then managed
to forge ahead, and in the end won a good race by a bare
yard.

MANCHESTER.

On Saturday, at the Royal Oak Grounds, J. Sanderson
(alias Treacle) and R. M'liinstray (of Glasgow) met to run
two miles, for £5O. Mainstray won easily, Sanderson
resigning 70 yards from the tape. Time, 9 mil'. 57 sec.
Betting-5 to 4on Sanderson.
At the Copenhagen Grounds, Manchester, E. Lowe (of
Whitworth) and F. Robinson (of Ashton) met to decide
their wrestling match, the best two back falls out of three
for £5O, neither to exceed 6 score 61b. weight. After
wrestling 2 h. 20 min., during which neither gained a fall
they agreed to draw the stakes.
J. Wilde (of Newton) and J. Bramhall (of Sheffield) ran
120 yards, for £2O. Wilde, who received one yard start,
increased his lead, and won by filo yards. Betting-5 to
4 on Wilde.
At the City Grounds, Manchester, H. Whitehead (of
Hyde) and W. Whitehead (of Bradford) ran 120 yards, for
£5O. After a good race 11. Whitehead won by one yard.
Betting-5 to 4on W. Whitehead.

COUN TB.Y MARKETS.

LEICESTER —SATURDAY.
The show of wheat at market to-day was tolerable, and
hamples moved off slowly, holders having to submit to a
slight fill in prices. Barley was sparingly represented,
and a steady demand was experienced. The full rates of
last week must be quoted. In oats a fair share of business
was done, and extreme prices were realised. For beans tho
inquiry was better, and the finest old sorts were a trifle
dearer. _ _

----•
New white wheat, 51s to 52s ; new red, 47s to 49s ; old
white, 53s to 56s ; old red, 50s to 52s per 36 stone. Bar-
ley, for malting, 37s to 40s per qr. ; grinding, 27s to 30s
per 30 stone. Oats, old, 34s to 38s ; new, 27s to 32s per 24
stone. Beans, old, 51s to 53s ; new, 42s to 46s per 38 stone.

COLCHESTER—MARCH 31.
The supply of wheat was not large, but quite sufficient
for the requirements of the trade, which was dull without
any material alteration in prices. Barley for malting was
rather cheaper; the weather 'being so much warmer,
maltsters are afraid to increase their stock. Beans and peas
the same as last week.

GENERAL GRANT

has written to Congress, showing the necessity for making
additions to the army. He says that a force, though a
small one, must be kept up in each of the States that took
part in the rebellion. We should think the President
would hardly like that, as his doctrine is, that whatever
is done in one State must be done in every other State.

TRIAL or MR. DAVIS.

The New York Times says that the trial of Mr. Davis is
fixed for the first Monday in June, at Richmond. The in-
dictment is simple and specific, but the arguments, alike for
the prosecution and tho defence, will involve the most
comprehensive and searching inquest into the constitu-
tional authority of the Government, and the relations of
individual States thereto, that has probably ever been made
since the foundation of the Union. Let the result of the trial
as affects the prisoner be what it may, the importance of
judicially testing the question of what constitutes trea-
son—and whether it is possible to make the crime of trea-
son odious by a legal condemnation under a Republican
Government—canhot bo over-estimated. The ablest con-
stitutional lawyers in the country will bring to the exami-
nation of the case tho clearest and most unimpassioned
judgment. The trial will be conducted by the prosecution
in no vindictive or excited temper. The defence, which
has been intrusted to Charles O'Conor and James T. Brady,
W. B. Read, of Philadelphia ; Mr. Brown, of Baltimore ;
Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, and George Shea, formerly Corpora-
tion Attorney for New York, will not—so far as the load-
ing counsel are concerned—descend to a mere pettifogging
evasion of the actual issues involved in the trial. On both
sides the desire will be that the case shall be tried with a
thoroughness, and in a temper, that shall correspond with
the vast national interest concerned. The occasion will be
one which in itself will make an epoch in the constitutional
progress of the country, and as such, far more, than as the
mere judicial trial of an extraordinary offender, the pro-
ceedings will possess an interest for all time to the student
of the political history of the Americas Republic.

EETB. AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of ope atlon inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves ,of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most semi..
tive sufferer' a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a epecialitd t enabling only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system emb. aces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the support•ng instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth mull they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of -all and every operation, so
that the most nervaus pc: son can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet prodtved.
Consultation free. Teeth from 58, bets from 5 to 25 gS.,
warranted.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide
"Lancet."

has resumed active life, and proposes doing something to
help Mexico to get rid (.4 Maximilian. He left St. Thomas
last month, and has reached the United States. Ho says
he is ready to join Juarez, and take the field against the
Imperialists ; but probably Juarez would be no where
very soon after Santa Auna should have reduced the Em-
peror to nothing. He has been before the world some five-
and-forty years, and is now verging toward the limit of
the life of man ; but he cannot get rid of ambition. He
was instrumental in putting clown the first emperor of

TRIAL OF MR. DAVIS.

The New York Times says that the trial of Mr. Davis is
fixed for the first Monday in June, at Richmond. The in-
dictment is simple and specific, but the arguments, alike for
the prosecution and the defence, will involve the most
comprehensive and searching inquest into the constitu-
tional authority of the Government, and the relations of
individual States thereto, that has probably over been made
since the foundation of the Union. Let the result of the trial
as affects the prisoner be what it may, the importance of
judicially testing the question of what constitutes trea-
son—and whether it is possible to make the crinie of trea-
son odious by a legal condemnation under a Republican
Government—cannot be over-estimated. The ablest con-
stitutional lawyeis in the country will bring to the exami-
nation of the case the clearest and most unimpassioned
judgment. The trial will be conducted by the prosecution
in no vindictive or excited temper. The defence, which
has been intrusted to Charles O'Conor and James T. Brady,
W. B. Read, of Philadelphia ; Mr. Brown, of Baltimore ;
Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, and George Shea, formerly Corpora-
tion Attorney for New York, rill not—so far as the lead-
ing counsel are concerned—descend to a mere pettifogging
evasion of the actual issues involved in the trial. On both
sides the desire will be that the case shall be tried with a
thoroughness, and in a temper, that shall correspond with
the vast national interest concerned. The occasion will be
one which in itself will make an epoch in the constitutional
progress of the country, and as such, far more, than as the
mere judicial trial of an extraordinary offender, the pro-
ceedings will possess an interest for all time to the student
of the political history of the American Republic.

MOVEMENTS OF SPECIE AT NEW YORK.

Imports.—From California past week, $1,276,505 ; re-
ceived previously, $13,202,469 ; total since Jan. 1, 1866,
$14,478,974.
Exports.—For week ending May 19, $8,763,295; pre-
viously, $8,380,360 ; total since Jan. 1, $17,143,655 ; same
time 1865, $9,631,717.

We have boon favoured with the following copy of a let-
ter from a well-known merchant of New York to a friend in
Loudon:—

'• It is almost amusing to hear the opinions you refer to
as entertained by certain wiseacres in London, iu regard
to the terrible effects which your financial panic is likely
to produce in this country. So far from being ' convulsed
from centre to circumference,' our money market can
hardly be said to be excited. There is not the slightest
approach to a panic among any class, and the demand for
money which has sprung up is confined almost entirely to
stock-jobbing people. I have not heard of a single failure,
and if any has occurred it has boon of so unimportant a
character as not to attract public notice. I have just re-
turned from the regular meeting of the Board of Directors
of the - National Bank, one of the largest institutions
of the kind in the country, and there was not tho least
excitement exhibited on tho part of any member of the
Board. The offerings were large, but every dollar was
discounted, which is an unusual thing at any time.
"Now York, May 25."

(From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular,

June 6.)

By the " China" our latest advices from New York
were to the 22nd ult. Notwithstanding the large amount
of gold shipped by the " Scotia," the quotation remained
steady until the arrival of the " Cuba," with intelligence
of the monetary difficulties on this side, when, on large
purchases for transmission to Europe, the premium ad-
vanced to 33, and consequently, as we learn by telegraph,
to 38. The quotation for Government Stocks was, how-
ever, firm at previous quotations. In Railroad Stocks,
both Illinois and Eries, on expectation of selling orders
from this side, were depressed about three or four per cent.,
but the general list exhibited little alteration. State
Stocks and Railroad Bonds were sparingly offered, and at
any concession in price would have been readily taken.
Via " Greencastle " we have received the following
quotations, being to the 26th May :

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF EDIN.

BURGH.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh was sworn
in to-day shortly after four o'clock in the presence of the
Lord Chancellor and some peers, being introduced by his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Lord Colville
acted as Lord Chamberlain. In consequence of the privacy
attending the ceremony there was no demonstration of any
kind, and much disappointment, no doubt, was experienced'
by many who expected that the formal proceedings would
have been attended with a largo array of peers, as in the
case of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who did
not take his seat until the usual hour.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

LANCASTER ELECTION.—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
The adjourned debate upon the motion made on the
29th ult., to agree with the Commons in the address to
her Majesty to fill up the blank with the "Lords Spiritual
and Temporal," to which an amendment was moved by
Earl Grey, that instead of any particular inquiry, there
should be a general commission to investigate the whole
subject of corrupt practices at elections, was resumed.
Lord EBURY said that he took a great interest in this
subject, and he had acquired much experience in the work-
ing of the electoral system from the position he occupied

which he proposed to deal his noble friend (Lord
Ene

on
with' this question of having a general commission instead
of inquiries into particular cases, because he thought the
effect would be to extend the evil which the noble earl

desired to avert by extending demoralisation.
Ldrd GREY repeated his arguments in favour of the
appointment of a Commission to assist Parliament in
taking steps to repress bribery, and contended that all
former inquiries into particular cases had been productive
of evil rather than good. He pointed out that a Commis-
sion such as he proposed could take cognizance of expen-
diture at elections, which although not exactly of a cor- _

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.—
The fear of pain and dread
ARTIFICIAL of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex, ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialite pertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 go.,
warranted.

LEICESTER SQUARE.

Mr. WALDEGRAVE-LESLIE asked the hon. mem-
ber for Bath, whether the Metropolitan Board of Works
had any intention of causing the inclosuro in Leicester-
square to be turned into a garden or ornamental ground,
under the provisions of the Gardens in Towns Protection
Act (1863); and, if so, how soon the garden would be pro-
ceeded with ?

Mr. TITS said the Act of 1863 passed to deal with
neglected open spaces had been found very defective, and
much difficulty had been experienced. The board had
taken steps to deal with Leicester-square, but the owner
of the ground had served them with notice of trespass,
but some points of law were raised which still remain for
argument, and as the case could not come on for argument
b3fore November, and until that matter had been disposed
ef, he could not say what would be done. If the decision
went against them he should apply to Parliament to
amend and simplify the law.

UNITED STATES DEBT.

In our last we gave the official return of the Public Debt
of the United States of America up to the Ist May. It.
exhibits but little alteration from the statement of the Ist
April, but there is one feature to which we would call
especial attention, viz., the large amount of both Gold and
Currency accumulated in the Treasury. Of the former
the Government held between 76 and 77 millions, and of
the latter over 61 millions, together equal at the present
rate of exchange to £25,475,000 sterling, a balance larger,
we believe, than ever was held by a Finance Minister in
any country. This result, we think, fully bears out the
opinion wo have always expressed of our perfect confi-
dence in the ability and willingness of the United States
to meet all their obligations honourably and punctually.
We know that alarm was prevalent at the unprecedeLtal'y
rapid increase of the National Debt, and the supposed
difficulty which would arise, in collection of revenue from
a people unaccustomed to taxation. The result however
has, or ought to have, dissipated any such erroneous con-
ception. _ _

The Finance Bill recently introduced by Mr. Sherman,
and referred to the Finance Committee of the Senate, pro-
vides for a consolidation of the entire debt of the United
States into a five per cent. loan, having thirty years to run,
the Bonds issued to be known as the " Consolidated
Debt of the United States ; " both interest and principle to
be payable in Gold. The sum of $30,000,000 annually, as
well as the saving of interest between the existing rate of
six and proposed rate of five per cent., to be applicable to
a sinking fund for the redemption of the debt. By another
clause the Government require the holders of 7-30 Treasury
Notes to notify six months before maturity whether they
elect to take 5-20 Bonds or to be paid off in Currency as
stipulated on the issue of the Notes.
