HAMPTON COURT PADDOCKS. —We are enabled to an-
nounce that the appointment of stud groom at the above
royal establishment, which was rendered vacant by the
death of the much-respected Mr. Ranson, has just been
filled up, and Mr. William Scott has been named as his
successor. Mr. Scott brings to the performance of his
duties considerable experience, having had the manage-
ment of the studs of Sir Lydston Newman and the late
Lord Londesborough, as well as that of the present Duke
of Newcastle, so that the prestige of the royal stud is not
likely to bo lost in his hands. Mr. Scott enters on his
duties on the 13th inst.

GRAND NATIONAL DISQUALIFICATIONS.—WO have the
authority of Messrs. Weatherby to state that Mario and
Niger are both disqualified for having been entered with
the wrong age in the Liverpool Steeplechase, and both
were struck out of all races wherein they are engaged as
six year olds on the 6th inst., at 1.30 p.m. King Arthur,
we believe, is also disqualified for the same reason.
NEWCASTLE SPRING MEETING.—This meeting is fixed to
take place on Thursday, April 2, and the day's racing will
be composed of six good events, four stakes for race horses,
one for bona fide hunters across the fiat, and one for hun-
ters over hurdles on the course.

DONCASTER.—The Doncaster Spring Handicap closed
with 24 subscribers, and the Hunters' Stakes also with 24.
SHREWSBURY SPRING RACES.—Special notice is directed
to the closing of several handicaps and hurdle races for
this meeting (March 10 and 11) ou Tuesday next to
Messrs Weatherby, cr to Mr. John Frail, Shrewsbury.
HARROW SPRING MEETING.—The Hunters' Stakes, the
Selling Handicap Steeplechase, and the half mile Stand
Plate close on Tuesday next. The principal events have
been largely patronised, and as the fixture follows imme-
diately in the wake of Lincoln it ought to command exten-
sive support.
The first annual yearling sale at East Acton Paddocks
will take place on the Wednesday after the Derby, when
the yearlings of Sir Lydston Newman, Lord Sudeley, Mr.
Simpson, and other gentlemen will be put up.
EDINBURGH RACE MEETINGS.—The Edinburgh Spring
Meeting, which is confined to one day, is fixed for April 4 ;
-Lvttdizist Club com--
mences September 24, and, as last year, will extend
over three days.
MIDLAND FARMERS' CLUB.—At the annual meeting of
the members of this club, hold on Thursday last, at Bir-
mingham, Mr. George A. May, of Elford Park, Tamworth,
was appointed president for the ensuing year.
L. S. D. and Despatch are struck out of the Birmingham
Grand Annual, but the intimation reached Mr. Sheldon too
late to save the larger forfeit.

GALLOPING MATCH AT LIVERPOOL-011 Thursday next ,
at 2 o'clock, Mr. Taylor's Little Wonder and Mr. Dux-
bury's pan run one mile, for £5O, at Aintree.

ing Buszke, aged, has been officially lodged.
The Duke of Newcastle left London yesterday for New-
market to inspect his racing stud there.
The efforts to postpone the Grand Military Steeple-
chases to an awkward date of the fixtures have been un-
availing.

tington have been registered.
CARMARTHEN, 1869.—The stewards elect are Col. Pryse,
M.P., and Llewellyn Price, Esq.

MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS OF THE NEW ENGLAND
MANUFACTURERS. —To the Honourable the Senate and
House of Representatives—The undersigned, manufac-
turers engaged in different branches of industry, respect-
fully invite your attention to the expression of their views
on subjects deeply affecting their interests and the wel-
fare of the whole country. The expenditure of the
Government should be changed from a war to a peace
establishment. All unnecessary expenses should be
stopped, all supernumerary officers dismissed. The
industry of the country is sorely burdened by taxes which
ought not to be continued. They prevent the develop-
ment of its great resources, which wait only for wise'
legislation to give them freedom and full vitality. There
should be an entire revision of the internal revenue laws,
and a reorganization of the internal revenue department.
Aside from the dangers of fraud, of collusion, and of eva-
sion, to which the present system is exposed, the inquisi-
torial character of its present administration, the contra-
dictcry interpretations given of the same provisions, are
annoying and perplexing, and ought to be remedied.
We think that the annual expenditure of the Govern-
ment should be reduced to $275,000,000, of which
$130,000,000 will be required to pay the interest
on the national debt, $25,000,000 for pensions, and
$120,000,000 for ordinary expenses and the reduction of
the public debt. With expenditure not exceeding
$60,000,030 in 1860, we think that an addition of
$60,000,000 should now be the limit of our expenses, be-
yond interest and pensions. With a revenue from cus-
toms of $150,000,000, the sum of $125,000,000 raised by
internal revenue taxation will be ample to meet such a
scale of expenditure; and we recommend the immediate
repeal of all taxes on raw materials, and on all manufac-
tures, excepting articles of luxury, believing that the
amount required can be easily raised It aissomfallhanuflmrsbteirmo-f
