SPORfING NOTES.

There are nine races to be decided to-morrow, the prin-
cipal ones being the Spencer Plate and the St. Liz Handi-
cap. The horses entered for the latter aro less numerous
by seven than last year, forty-five being the number
nominated against fifty-two in 1865 ; and of these wo have
already seen the following run :—Problem, Jeannie Deans,
Prodigal, Venom filly by Dundee out of Blanch of Mid-
dlebie, Phantom Sail, Opoponax, Ariel, Princess Thyra,
Bounceaway, Libertine, Seringapatam, and Lady Rosehill.
But the winner I expect will be Mr. Merry's MARKSMAN,
who has a high reputation at home. He was bought at
the sale of the Middle Park yearlings last June by Mr. Merry
for I,ooogs. For the Earl Spencer's Plate OZONE and Qtr
VIVE will run well. But this is ono of those short spins
that it is almost impossible to spot the winner. The Racing
Stakes will bo won by the selected of John Day. The Two
Year Old Sweepstakes seems at the mercy of PROBLEM,
while the Northaznptonshire Cup Stakes would.appear
destined also to fall to Mr. Chaplin by the aid of WILLIE
SHARPE or Miss HARRIETTE, and the Sulby Stakes to
LOAF SUGAR. The Selling Plato and Lambert Plate close
this evening.

Trade heavy.

COLONIAL.

SUGAR.— Only a moderate demand has been experienced,
but prices are well supported. .11.inued gook arc iu fair
request, at steady rates.

COFFEE.— Thero has been only a limited inquiry, with-
out any material change in value. The stocks on hand,
however, are still in excess of those held at the correspond-
ing period last year.

TEA.—Only a limited inquiry has been experienced, and
quotations are unaltered.

RICE.—A moderate amount of business has been done in
soft grain descriptions, and prices are unaltered.
TALLOW.—This market has been generally firm, with an
upward tendency, occasioned solely by the closing in of
open accounts for the month, which being done, the specu-
lators for higher prices must look to the wants of the trade
for the realisation of their projects ; judging from the
smallness of demand, the consumers aro not obliged to
follow tho market in its upward course. The fears of a
great diminution in the supply of home tallow do not ap-
pear to be well founded; as although it is distributed un-
equally through the country by the operation of the Cattle
Plague Bill, there is no serious falling off in the total quan-
tity produced. The market is firm at &Os 6d on the spot.

The Prince of Wales has accepted an invitation
to be present on Easter Monday next at the Brighton
Volunteer Review.

ROYAL VISIT TO TIIE CIGAR STEAMER.—After the
unsuccessful attempt to launch the Northumberland iron-
clad screw frigate the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred,
Prince Hoheulohe, the Duke of Sutherland, Capt. Shaw,
and several gentlemen left in one of the Citizen
steamers, and proceeded to Blackwall to visit the Rose Wi-
nans, the cigar screw steamer, lying in the junction dock
of the West India Docks. Their royal highnesses were re-
ceived on board by the owners, who conducted them over
every part of this extraordinary vessel, which is now being
fitted with her screws, and will in a few days leave tho
docks for an experimental trip previous to her departure for
St. Petersburg. The royal party remained on board some
time, and on leaving re-embarked on board the Citizen
steamer for the Speaker' .stairs, House of Commons, where
carriages were in attendance to convey them to Marl-
borough-house.

THE APPEAL TO ROYALTY FROM WAREIIA3f.—

borough.

noble, royal, and most useful of your much-lamented,
(to his fellow-creatures) de-
evalenatve to name the subject to
yourself, though not y
a having the smallest right to take such
liberty, for the purposeof
ness
of affording your Royal
an opportunity directing that a donation should
be given in your name towards the .object, if it
should
seem meet to you to do so ; and though it
would scarcely add to the popularity and thorough good
will which attaches to the name of the eldest son of our
Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria, and those near to him
and her, still it would be thoroughly appreciated and
widely made known to the Latense satisfaction of all who
hear it, and appreciate the town of Wareham as it de-
serves, both as regards old and new associations. The
present mayor does not deserve ill of those _whom ho now
addresses, and it is more for the sake of the name of his
Royal Highness than of the money. There are those who
possibly might help to contribute to the funds, but could
not give the name of weight. At any rate, the mayor
would, sincerely and earnestly, as well as humbly, congra_
tulate his Royal Highness upon the possession of two such
fine promising little sons—the growing hope of the nation,
as well as of their royal parents and relatives. The mayor
feels that in thus placing Wareham before the Prince of
limos he has done what is right, and waits for a reply
(through some one of the courteous and really sensible
gentlemen who will send it) with confidence that,
what-
ant me-
ever the tenour, it will be treasured up as a plea
morial with others.—Your Royal highness's sobedient
humble, and faithful servant, FIiELLANTI F
MIME; Mayor
of Wareham, Dorsetilire.
