SPORTING NOTES,

The Stockton running has settled the pretensions of
several St. Leger horses, including Dictator, Gardener,
Caller Oui, and Yorkminster. The only alteration in the
betting being a demonstration in favour of Brown Stout,
who has gone to Whitewall to finish his preparation for the'
above race. If John Scott had a donkey in his stable, the
public would be sure to back it. No doubt he has got one
of the best horses in England as a trial horse, if he still
possessed such another as Klarikoff; but how any person
could be so stupid as back such a wretched two-year-old
performer as Brown Stout is utterly beyond my compre-
hension his only performance last year being at Harpen-
den, where he was beaten all the way by Blisworth, King
of Kent being second, filly by Barnton third, Viscount
Brigsall (51b extra) fourth, Rupert (51b extra) fifth, and
Brown Stout last. His performances this year have been
nearly as bad. Those who stand this son of Sir John Bar-
leycorn outright will not get intoxicated with their win-
nings when the race is over. Betts, another horse that
used to be in " the Wizard's " stable, would be a far more
trustworthy representative if sent with winning orders, and
it would not surprise me to see him carry off both the Great
Yorkshire Handicap and Leger. Kettledrum still maintains
his position of first favourite with firmness, and, bar acci-
dent, there is certainly no other horse that will lower his
colours if he only gets to the post in the same superb con-
dition that his trainer brought him on the hills of Epsom..
Next to him, in my opinion, is Janus, of whom I still con-
tinue to receive good accounts, and if any mishap should
befa l the favourite, the St. Leger will fall to the lot of
Baron Rothschild. The absence of Ivanhoff for the Great
Northern St. Leger disappointed those who thought to have
Kildonan's correct measure, as, after the close race between.
the two on Tuesday, a spin between Ivanhoff, Virgilius,
and Silverhair would have afforded a most useful line.
Ivanhoff cannot be within 101 b of himself, after having
been stopped so long in his work ; and Caller Oui, who
was third to Mr. Parr's horse, having been beaten almost
as easily by Oldminster in the Middlesborough Handicap,
I cannot see why Kildonan should have advanced in bet-
ting after his head victory. Ms. Merry has issued a very
respectable bill of fare at Warwick, nearly LBOO represent-
ing the added money (although there are two cases in
which the forfeits go to the fund), and the nine events
already complete show an average of more than a score en-
gaged in each. Only a third of those entered for the Lea-
mington Stakes have accepted. Masterßagot, aged, Bst 131 b,
declared forfeit on Saturday; and the performances since
the weights were published of Prince of Denmark, 6 yrs,
Bst 41b; Emblem, 5 yrs, Bst 41b ; Yorkshire Grey, aged,
7st 131 b; the Prophet, 4 yrs, 7st 51b; Brownie, 3 yrs, 7st
llb ; and Tulip, 3 yrs, 6st 91b, do not say much for their
pretensions, which leaves but sixteen horses apparently
"in the race." Of these W. Day's stable contains De-
fender, 5 yrs, Bst 131 b ; Schism, 6 yrs, Bst 71b ; and Romu-
lus, 3 yrs, 6st 121 b; T. Cliff's Petra, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b; and
Zodiac, 3 yrs, 7st; Wadlow's Flirtation, 3 yrs, 7st 81b ;
and Jingling Johnny, 3 yrs, 7st ; and out of this lot
it must not be anticipated more than four will reach the
post, the remaining seven comprising Oxford, 4 yrs, Bst
111 b ; Newstead, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b ; Pitman, 4 yrs, 7st 101 h ;
Artless, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b ; Baron Munchausen, 4 yrs, 7st 81b ;
Shipwreck, 3 yrs, Gst 111 b ; Knightsbridge, 3 yrs, 6st 91b ;
and Calabria, 3 yrs, Est 41b. Whichever W. Day sends
will be difficult to dispose of, but I would trust Artless, the
winner of the Cesarewith in 1859, than anything else in the
race, if I knew that the money was all right. Romulus
beat a good field at Salisbury at the commencement of tho
season, and if he can only stay over the two miles he ought to
be there or thereabout at the finish. Shipwreck and Baron.
Munchausen are also favourably weighted. With a start
and the money on, I can see nothing to beat Artless.
The Warwick Cup, three miles, twenty subs. The con-
ditions, as regards the penalties and allowances, do not affect
many of the competitors, the following being the weights
they have to carry :

Blue Jacket
Thormanby
Bivouac
The Wizard 4 8 7 Elcho 3 7 0
Wallace 4 8 7 The Lawyer 3 7 0

The Wizard and Thormanby will be reserved 'for their
Doncaster engagements, which will reduce the race to a
match between Elcho and The Lawyer—the latter for
choice. Baron Munchausen or Rockley should secure the
County Handicap, and Mr. Naylor cannot lose the Castle
Stakes with one of his trio, especially if it should be Can-
tiniere. In the Shorts Handicap Doncaster and Prince
Plausible have nothing to complain of. Godding has charge
of three out of the nine accepting for the Welter Cup, one
mile, and Capt. Little's mount will be worth standing, even
should it be the moderate Prince Imperial. A Sweep-
stakes, for two and three year olds, six furlongs, eleven
subs., is only worth 100 Boys clear, and yet the entry has
attracted half a dozen such performers as Helper (3 yrs),
Turn of Luck, Ethel, Blackcock, Middleton Maid, and
Genealogie, while the remaining five have good looks to re-
commend them, with scarcely one exception. The French
filly, Genealogie, carried a lump of money when running
second to Johnny Armstrong for the Gimcrack Stakes at
York, and, as all her opponents have penalties, she ought to
retrieve her lost laurels here, good as the company is, if the
Mounseers do not keep her for something more important
that will falrr, place a Doncaster. The Members' Plate
(five furlongs). Grand Stand Plato (six furlongs), and
Scurry Stakes (one mile), are all handicaps, and they close
the evening before running at the Grand Stand.
A FRESH MAN.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—SATURDAY.
For the Leamington Stakes, Artless was supported at
different times at 5 and 6 to 1; but, ultimately, 7 to 1 was
laid and offered on the field. Romulus, Shipwreck, De-
fender, Prince of Denmark, and Jingling Johnny were
talked about, but no agreement was come to as to the taking
price. For the St. Leger, 2 to 1 was taken very freely
against Kettledrum, but 7 to 4 was declined. 10 to I.
would have been taken to money about Kildonan, but there
was no higher offer than 9to 1. Aurelian was very firm.
Janus had a rather shaky appearance, but his friends
rallied, and 100 to 8 was taken freely. Imans appears to
be the selected one from Lord Stamford's lot; from the 100
to 3 taken and offered yesterday, he finished to-day at 100
to 8 (taken). Closing prices :—.

A LADY KILLED ON THE GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY.

An investigation was held on Friday by Mr. G.
S. Brent, the deputy-coroner for West Middlesex,
at the Coach and Horses, Ealing, on the body of a
lady-like person, unknown, about 30 years of age,
who was found dead near the Ealing bridge, on the
Great Western Railway, having apparently been
run over by a train.
It appeared that about eight o'clock on Monday
evening last a policeman at the Ealing station re-
ceived information from the driver of the 6.45 train.
from Windsor, that he had run over a woman. He
took a lamp, and on proceeding about 200 or 300
yards down the line he first found a cape, and then
a bonnet, and subsequently the body of a female.
She laid with her head inside the rails, and her
body outside. The left arm was separated from the
body. She was conveyed to the Coach and Horses,
where she was searched, and in her pocket were
two very good pocket handkerchiefs marked
A. M. D.," a pair of gloves, and a portemonnaie,
containing 2s. 6d. and smaller money. She was
very respectably attired, with lace or open work
round her under clothing, and she wore several
articles of jewellery, denoting her to be of respect-
ability. The driver and fireman both saw her
coming down the bank, but it was impossible to
stop the train, The deceased had been seen in a
neighbouring village during Monday, and also be-
tween seven and eight o'clock the same evening on
Ealing-bridge. When last seen she appeared in a
study, but there was nothing remarkable in her
appearance. Inquiries had been made at a photo-
graphic attist's
in Regent-street, consequent on
ticket being found on her bearing that address, and
apparently her name, Miss Davis." The body,
however, could not be identified, as some other per-
son had fetched away the portrait, and no copy had
been taken.
The jury were in doubt as to whether deceased
attempted to cross the rails before the engine could
reach her, whether the accidentally slipped down,
or whether she had a suicidal intention, and there-
upon returned an open verdict, with an expression
that no blame was attached to the railway company
or any other person.

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE NEAR THE STRAND.
—Yesterday afternoon, as two servant girls belonging to
the Belle Vue Hotel, in Norfolk-street, Strand, were look-
ing over some railings extending from the house, one of
them unfortunately dropped over into the Thames, and the
other girl followed to save her. Boats were put off from
theut policeon ship
and shore, when the girls were picked uPy
b
was quite dead. The remains of the unfortunate
creature were taken to the house of Mr. Pryor, the Howard
Arms, for a coroner's inquest. The deceased, whose name
is King, was about 22 years old, and the principal support
of her aged parents,

THE WEATHER.

South England. West to north-west, moderate.

METEOROLOGIC

.L REPORTS.

The progress of business during the past week
in the manufacturing districts has,, with one or two
exceptions, been satisfactory. At Manchester the
operations in both cloths and yarns have been re-
stricted, owing to the unfavourable state of the
Cotton Market at Liverpool, but at Leeds, Hud-
dersfield, and Bradford the dealings have been to a
moderate extent in seasonable goods, chiefly, how-
ever, for home requirements. The hosiery trade of
Leceister has been steady, while the operations in
the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Shef-
field, and Wolverhampton, have been to an average
extent, without producing any material change in
prices.

A fair amount of business was transacted in the
Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices
were well supported. 'Dip sales were 10,000 bales.
A large supply of gold, viz., £192,000, was pur-
chased by the Bank of England authorities on
Saturday.

The steamer which left to-day for the Brazils
took out £2,122 in gold, and £9,000 in silver.
The demand for discount accommodation con-
tinues very moderate, owing to the quietness of
trade in the metropolis and throughout the manu-
facturing districts, where the " short-time" system
has now become general. For other purposes the
demand is also too limited to create animation in
monetary circles, and as the flow of gold into the
Bank of England is still very active, increased faci-
lities, it is thought, will be speedily afforded the
mercantile community. In the Stock Exchange
the available supplies are exceedingly abundant,
and loans on Government Securities are negotiable
at merely nominal rates.

There his not been much activity in the Eng-
lish Stock Market to-day, but continued buoyancy
has been apparent, Consols having risen 71,- per
cent., viz., to 931 for transfer, and to 931 for
the account. The settlement, however, is the chief
business attended to. The New Threes are firm at
91;1- II; the Reduced steady at 91- a; India 5 per
Cent. Loan is at 1031 ; ditto Loan Scri, 103-4-;
ditto 4 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 81 ; and ditto 5
per Cent., 97; Exchequer Bills, March, 2s. dis.
The dealings in Foreign Securities have been
rather more active, and prices show increased firm-
ness. Turkish 6 per Cents. have improved to 821 ;
ditto, 1858, to 691 1-; ditto £lOO Bonds to 701-;
Equador to 151; Sardinian to 80 ; and Buenos
Ayres to 861. Brazilian 41 per Cents. are 901.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, and a slight advance has taken
place in prices. Great Western and North British
have improved ss. ; and Caledonian, Lancashire
and Yorkshire, North Western, and Midland, 10s. ;
Brighton and North Eastern (Berwick) declined
55.; and Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines were in good de-
mand. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian
advanced ss. ; East Indian, 10s.; and Great Indian
Peninsula, ss.

THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—This asso-
ciation has now entered on its tenth year, and the anniver-
sary was celebrated on Saturday by a dinner at CI emorne
Gardens of the entire establishment of the Central Offices,
No. 33, Norfolk-street, Strand. The secretarial, legal,
surveying, and financial departments were all represented.
The chair was taken by C. L. Gruneisen, Esq., who, in
proposing " Prosperity to the Society," cited the following
facts as demonstrative of the social and commercial advan-
tages which the society had offered to all classes of the
community. Forty-seven estates had been purchased in
seventeen counties, securing for the purchasers of the
land the freehold franchise, combined with a secure
and profitable investment. Through the instrumen-
tality of the society thousands of persons in every
grade of life had been enabled to obtain electoral privileges
which otherwise they were not in possession of. Finan-
coif gaallly the society had ensured great facilities in the deposit
and small sums of money ; a good rate of interest,
varying,ar of course, according to the amount of business
transacted by the society, was paid both to shareholders and
depositors. The same facility which enabled a shareholder
with or depositor to w- e
draw his investment with prompti-
tude was also observable in the transfer of land,vast
saving of expense, the result of the society's a
system.
Up to the 7th of Se-
vternbertot fiennhiversary of the formation
of the society in 1852, the
receipts had amounted
to E 540,929 25., and the sale of laaan
had reached the large sum of. 2,74?8d25
usg e same period
b. e number of
shares issued to the same date was 17;e0a3rgs;
increasing,
in vest-
ments took place every year in the
department.k.
Considerable capital had also been appropriated t
advances to the holders of plots on the society's enstmata
builders and to others, for the erection of villas and houses.
Every Every precaution had also been taken for the improvement of
the properties which fell into the society's hands, covenants
being introduced for mutual protection, so that a neighbour-
hood would be improved and not deteriorated. Thus the
society had afforded inestimable advantages to investors and
persons desirous of living in their own freehold houses, and
the hardest working man, with the smallest income, had
equal prospects -..f improving his condition with the largest
investor.

THE GREAT EASTERN.—In consequence of the
New York and Philadelphia Steamship Company requiring
Captain Kennedy to resume his duties in tho Etna, the di-
rectors of the Great Ship Company have appointed Captain
James Walker to the command of the Great Eastern. Cap-
tain Walker is well known in the Transatlantic trade,
having been nine years in the Cunard line, and subse-
quently in command of the Prince Albert and Adriatic, be-
tween Galway and New York, in the latter of which his
Passages were shorter than any previously made by that
skip. We therefore congratulate the company upon obtain-
ing the services of so able and popular a commander.
