SEEDS.

The linseed market continues without improvement, and
lower than last week. Refined can only
turn
on
easier terms. Canary is dull, and other
seeds are quite neglected. Cakes are less active at barely
he late advance.

SPORTING NOTES.

The running at Newmarket influenced the Derby
betting considerably, and made many people who
had backed and betted against certain Derby
horses, " unaisy in their minds." Promised Land
won with an ease which reminded one of the
triumphant "Eclipse first and the others nowhere."
But it must be confessed that he beat a bitter bad
lot ; and I make this assertion in the full remem-
brance of Phantom's performance on the Friday.
The surprising manner in which Actaeon " chopped"
North Lincoln has • directed attention to his
Derby chance, and although a popular notion
obtains that Actaeon is no stayer, yet his powers
of endurance have not been tested in public at
least. With Marionette and Trumpeter also in
the race, the Days of Danebury are likely to be
again dangerous over the Epsom coth•se, and to
revive the good old days of Andover and Hermit,
who in 1854 ran first and third, The question
of who shall be premier in the betting is exciting
as much attention as to who shall be Pre-
mier in the Government. Promised Land an 1
Musjid have each a staunch body of adherents,
and a well-known bookmaker and a little captain
are the leaders of the two parties. Already much
money has been betted between the two horses as
to which of them will retain the office the longest,
but no efforts will be spared to keep The Land at
the top of the poll. It has been denied on authority
that Mr. S. has no share in the horse ; but if this
be the fact, how came he to be a party to the match
between The Land and Musjid? and how came he
to sign the articles for that match ?

Marionette's position in the betting was much
damaged by the defeat of Ariadne, but with me he
has unrolled no feature of his popularity. Ido not
expect very great things of Trumpeter, who has a
most doubtful leg, but still he may yet make a
noise in the world. Musjid retains his position
with much firmness, and the confidence of Sir
Joseph and his friends is daily increased, Although
Wells is rapidly recovering from his Chester acci-
dent, yet it is doubtful whether we shall see him
in the saddle on the Derby Day. It is stated that
Sir Joseph Hawley has engaged Johnny Osborne,
than whom a more steady and accomplished horse-
man does not exist.

The Oaks certainly looks " a foregone conclusion,"
for Mayonaise, but I do not believe that the Derby
is such a " Moral" for Promised Land as is gene-
rally believed. lam inclined to look to the ranks
of the outsiders to finish the winner of the Derby
this year, and although I cannot at present deter-
mine under which thimble the little pea is hid, yet
I fancy it will turn up in something of the Glen•
buck and Old Robert shape.
I am not going to Doncaster, and I know little
or nothing of the proceedings appointed to take
place. Many of the animals that have engage-
ments in the north have also appointments in the
soith, and it is therefore difficult to say whether
they will be intended for both meetings or reserved
for only one.
The Birthday filly may show the popular harle-
' quin jacket again first past the post ; albeit many
people seem inclined to believe that her York. suc-
cess was a mistake. She will have an awkward
opponent in Lifeboat, who will be troublesome,
despite the fact of his being out of his distance.
Of course, Lupellus will win the Hopeful Stakes,
if sent, but should Mr. T. Parr be disinclined to
let him make. the journey due north so far, the
good-looking Oxford may pull through.
For the Steeplechase, Gibraltar and the Curate
look attractive on paper, and as the reader pays
his money he may take his chance.
Mr. Saxon's best, or the Lady Mary colt, may
win the Chesterfield Plate, and the :Spring Handi-
cap seems to lay between ShaftoasnAl Princess
Royal. AFRESH

LAW lIVIT,E'LLIGENCE.-(THIS

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY,
(Before 3fr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE RICR.&RDS-TUDGMENT. -
His Honour gave judgment this morning in the matter
of this bankrupt, who was described as a wire worker, who
applied a short time since for his certificate, the granting
of which was opposed on behalf of Messrs. Seale and Low,
of the deposit bank, Leicester-square, on the ground that
they had been induced by the bankrupt to discount bills
drawn by a person named Welshman, described as of
Castle-terrace, Hastings, who was stated to be a gentleman
of fortune, and that the bills had been given for work
done. Welshman was brought up on the last occasion,
being in custody for debt, and he swore that he signed the
bills in blank for the bankrupt.
His Honour ordered a suspension of the certificate for
twelve months, and when granted to be of the third class.

SHERIFFS COURT.
RR. HERR, THE NEW JUDGE-BUSINESS OP THE COURT.
The newly-elected judge took his seat this morning, and
from his manner it appears that he is quick and endowed
with great coolness. He was to all appearances quite at
home in his judicial seat, and he combines great severity of
manner with a not too stiff dignity.
Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Clarke, of Bedford-rtm, and Mr.
Beard having consulted as to the business course to be
pursued, Mr. Buchanan applied that applications should be
taken first, adjournments second, and new trials last.
It very frequently happened that a professional man who
had an application to make was kept sitting about all day,
until the rising of the Court, whereas if the business of
the Court was slightly altered matters would be greatly
facilitated.
His Honour was extremely anxious to facilitate business.
But supposing that there were many applications, suitors
summoned for a quarter to ten would be kept waiting. He
would consider the matter.
Mr. Clarke, of Bedford-row, said—He had been '
induced
to apply to his Honour upon a subject of the greatest im-
portance, and one that affected solely the suitors of this
court. A short time since, he, Mr. Clarke, had to pay a
heavy fee of £2 ss. merely to apply for his fee. Defendant
had paid the debtuponithe morning of the trial of the cause,
and in every other court, in Such a can, applications for
the solicitor's fee were not subject to the payment of-hearing
fees.

•
His Honour found that it was not in the power of the
iudge to make any alterations, but he would like tohave the
pro applications in writing before hitu. when he should take
ime and thoroughly consider them.
