however,Captain- been
reports' very satisfactorily of the powers of
the screw, and of the ship's machinery. During the whole
passage the engines have never been stopped, but have worked
with.the greatest possible regularity. The reason of the pas-
sage being of somewhat longer duration than was expected
is the difficulty of keeping a sufficient supply of steam. This
difficulty her commander and engineer are, however, fully
confident of overcoming in her• future voyages. Captain
Ilosken sailed from New York on the afternoon of the 30th,
and at 7 P.DI. of that day the pilot left her. On her passage
she has experienced very little westerly wind, and one day,
in a fine breeze, the ship made 298 miles, from noon to noon.
It appears rat during the whole voyage the vessel was
never worked at a greater pressure than 600 horse power,
although her engines are of 1,000 horse power. The natural
consequence of this was, that instead of making, as it is cal-
culated she can, seventeen and a half revolutions per minute,
she averaged but thirteen. This is stated to arise from an
insufficiency of the furnaces and boilers, which are both too
small.
The following table shows the degrees the vessel mado
and the degrees run in each 24 hours :

The vibration so generally complained of in paddle wheel
steamers is scarcely felt in the Great Britain, even at the
sternmest part of the vessel, and midships, and at the fore, it
is not at all perceptible; while, as a proof of the excellence of
her machinery, it may be mentioned 'that, throughout the
whole voyage, not a screw or pin becaine loose.
A gale of wind appears to be more calculated to show the
vessel'sgreat powers than a calm. 'ln the former, when the
wind keeps the sails stiff, she behaves very well, but when a
calm prevails she rolls tremendously.
The 1' rig" of the Great Britain is not yet perfect, and it
is, we believe, the intention of her gallant commander, before
Making his next trip, to effect some important alterations in
it. The wire rigging is not found to answer so well as was
anticipated.
Duriug the voyage she carried away her main-topmast,
about half-way down, an accident the more to -be regretted,
as it is Stated to have arisen from the insufficiency, of hands
to take in the sail on a sudden squall of wind rising. This
insufficiency, it should be stated, arose from the desertion of
a large portion of the original crew at New York, just as the
vessel was upon the point of sailing, which oNiged Lieute-
nant Hosken to make up his number with the best men he
could procure on the spot.
On attempting to remove the stump of the broken mast, the
day &ler the accident, two of the crew were seriously injured.
One of them had his arm completely smashed—amputation
being performed on the spot by the ship's surgeon. For this
poor fellpw the passengers subsequently collected a purse con-
taining p5l.
The weather has been unfavourable, strong easterly winds
prevail' g nearly throughout the passage.
The reat Britain does not appear to have created any par-
ticular egree of excitement in the New World. The gene-
ral impression was unfavourable to her, and although visited
by veryimany persons while lying in dock, there was a
Great
strong prejudice against crossing in her. This will, doubt-
less, be removed after she has made a few more equally suc-
cessful rims.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
10,000 bales, including 3,000 to 4,000 on speculation. Prices
were very fully supported, but not higher sales. Sales 1,000
bales Surat, at 3d. to 4q.d. ; 1,400 Macao, at 6d. to 614 d. ;
100 Pernam, at 7d. ; 200 Egyptian, at 614 d. to 9d. ; and the
rest American, at 4d. to 514. d. per lb.—Shares were good, and
alarge business Iva transacted, in some instances at advanced.
rates, the light scrip being principally dealt in, as the old
lines were comparatively neglected, except Manchester and
Birmingham, which rose rather considerably.
We are glad to find by the advices which came to hand
from the British North American Colonies that a very warm
interest is felt among all classes for the rapid extension of the
railway system throughout the dependencies of the Crown in
that direction. It has been already stated that a company
has been formed for constructing a railway in the upper pro-
vinces, and an extension of the plan has been received with
great attention by the colonists to communicate with Halifax,
and progressively to form a line westwardly to the Pacific
Ocean. We are given to understand that the Go-
vernors of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the
other colonial authorities, are warmly interested in this most
beneficial project. On the proposed line there is every
facility for executing the works upon a most economical
scale. The advantage to the colonies themselves cannot be
at present duly estimated. The advantages of railway com-
munication, as compared with canal conveyance, is admitted
on all hands, and a great deal of anxiety was expressed as to
the amount of success which would attend the plan when
developed to British_ capitalists, as from them a considerable
portion of the necessary funds would, in the first instance, be
required.
It appears by the Royal Gazette, of New Brunswick, that
there had been a considerable improvement in the re-
venue of the colony, which had been augmented in the first
six months of this year by 15,8001., as compared with the
returns of the corresponding period of 1844.
The accounts from New York state that the stream of
emigration had set in there for the season with increased
activity ; within 24 hours there had been reported not less
than 2,687 steerage passengers, of which 1,755 were from the
United Kingdom. Including the arrivals of the two previous
days, more than 3,000 persons had landed. A letter from
Albany says—" This is a great country, but how long will it
take to fill it up at this rate? The arrival of 1,500 settlers.
a day at New York, and as many more at the other ports of
the 'United States and Canada, will enormously increase
Uncle Sam's interesting and miscellaneous family.
There are accounts of May 10 from Sydney. Trade was
not very active. The Exchange on London had been 1
discount.
The continental accounts are not of any leading importance
to-day.
There are but four quotations given for the English Funds
to-day, namely—Consols for Money at 98% lA, and Exche-
quer-bills at 465. 48s. premium. Consols for the Account
have not been priced at all to•day.
The Brazilian Bonds have been dealt in at 88 (for the new
stock), and Chilian at 104, as the dividend has been duly
advertised. Mexican are at 32S ; Portuguese Four per
Cents. at 63 ; Russian at 115 ; Spanish at 38% 38; and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 61% and 6114.
The Railway Share Market has been upon the.whole pretty
firm to-day, but so much attention is being paid to the settle-
ment, that not so much bona fide business has been done as
of late. The latest accurate prices are annexed. The French
lines are firm.

represent only the " remnants of a broken faction."
Should one of their elect show symptoms of unbelief in their
doctrines, or have the sagacity to perceive that the idol,
which fifty years ago was adored as the perfection of
beauty, is now in a very dilapidated condition, and
will fall to pieces without timely repairs, he is
denounced as a rrnegade, and all his splendid talents and
high aspirations for the safety of Church and State are con-
verted into crimes. Great rejoicing took place when General
EVANS was driven from Westminster, and Captain Ross suc-
ceeded to his place. The Captain was everything that
was great and good. He was gallant, he was
straightforward, he was skilful in his manceuvi es, he
took the old General by surprise, and the worthy electors of
Westminster were praised to the skies for their judgment,
their discretion, and their return from Radicalism to the true
political faith. But, alas ! popularity is not more enduring
among high born ladies and noble lords than
among the low vulgar. The patrician breeze, in fact,
is more fickle, and the parties who are carried before it have
not the excuse of ignorance, low birth, and the other qua-
lities which they usually attribute to the plebeian race. Cap-
tain Rous is admitted to be a man of fair abilities, and gives
very general satisfdction to his constituents of all parties,
yet the Post of yesterday, because he happened to make a
sensible speech the other day at an agricultural meeting not
in unison with its crotchets, thus falls foul of the man of their
choice :—" A very gallant sailor, .who_is also a Member of
Parliament, and a very foolish one, has been talk-
ing in a wild and nonsensical strain at a meeting in Suffolk,
which was presided over by a noble relative, who is a pro-
prietor of land. We took no notice of this nonsense when it
was spoken, but now we must do so, as we find the free-trade
journals have seized on it, and tell their readers it is a speech
which Mr. COBDEN might have spoken. This is no compli-
ment to Mr. COBDEN." This is very ungrateful. It is very
impolitic, too, because it shows that these Tory bigots will
not listen to reason, and discard from their society all but
the worn-out statesmen of the day, represented by such
bright luminaries as the Duke of NEWCASTLE, the Earl of
WINCIDISEA, and the Earl of RODEN. They are in fact doing
all they can to reduce theparty to a state ofnonentity. To this
we have no objection ; but-we must protest against a system
by which honest men are calumniated, and the best interests
of the people sacrificed for the benefit of a monopolising, and
wealthy class.

By the Royal Tar steamer, which arrived from the Penin-
sula at Southampton on Monday, we have accounts from
Gibraltar to the 6th and Lisbon to the 10th instant. The
intelligence is not important. The Queen of PORTUGAL,
accompanied by the KING CONSORT, left the capital on the
3d for Thomar, on a visit to COSTA CABRAL, the Minister of
the Interior, who has a magnificent seat and large landed
property in that beautiful district, perhaps the finest in all
Portugal. As royal progresses are becoming fashionable, and
ought to be encouraged, it is only proper to let Donna
MARIA DA GLORIA have her share of the merit. The Diario
do Governo gives the following account of her MAJESTY'S
voyage up the Tagus:—
" On Wednesday last, amidst the roar of cannon from all
the ships of war in the Tagus, the QUEEN and KING Cox-
SORT embarked from the royal dockyard in this city, on board
the Terceira steamer, and proceeded' up the river to Villa
Nova, on their way to Thomar, to honour with a visit the
Minister of the Interior. On arriving off Villa Nova, her
MAJESTY was visited on board the steamer by the municipa-
lity and other authorities of the place, who presented aa ad-
dress, breathing, of course, the most loyal sentiments. On
the 4th she arrived at Santarem, where the same scene was
enacted. On the following day the royal party set out by
land for Azumbuga, where, according to the Diario, they
were received with enthusiastic demonstrations of joy. At
Cartaxo, the next stage of their journey, their MAJESTIES
visited the hospital, where they left a handsome donation.
At Santarem they were received, according to the Diario, in
the most brilliant manner. A numerous party of horsemen
went out to meet them, and escorted them into the town,
which they entered under a superb triumphal arch, erected
for the occasion. Next day her MAJESTY held a levee, and
afterwards admitted the principal civil and military autho-
rities to the honour of dining with her."

DISEIASED POTATOES.—Amongst the potatoes in-
troduced into the London markets a great proportion have
proved to be affected with the prevalent disease.—The roots
so attacked give out no peculiar appearance to the eye by
which the presence of disease may be indicated, but in boil-
ing it is lat once perceptible from the dark mass which they
present in the interior. The dealers are aware of this, and in
many of the poorer districts of the metropolis potatoes were
sold on Saturday at 41b. and 61b. for 2d. Whatever may
have been the cause, it is certain that externally the disease
indicates itself by a fungus or moss, producing a decomposi.
tion of the farinaceous interior. It therefore resembles in
many respects the ergot attacking grain and grasses ; which
it was proved at the last meeting of the British Association, at
Cambridge, had greatly increased the last two or three years,
being probably owing to the great additional increase of
animal manures. It may be remarked that in the Isle of
Wight, where the disease has occurred in its most virulent
form, we lately had the opportunity of observing in many in-
stances that it was most prevalent in those crops which had
been planted on wheat land which had previously been ma-
nured with guano, The use of these diseased potatoes for
domestic 'purposes cannot be too much condemned.—Eamp..

SUPPOSED ROBBERY AND INCENDIARISI.—Short'

An extraordinary meeting of the Grand Council of Berne,
which was very fully attended, took place on the 10th inst.
The Avoyer NEUHAUS, who represented the Canton at the
Zurich Diet, addressed the Assembly, and stated the motives
arhich had induced the Executive Council to convoke the
Grand Council. The continual attacks of the press, he stud,
had forced the Regency to demand if it was worthy of the
confidence of the people. By the convocation of the Grand
Council all opinions could be freely expressed, and the discus-
sion would show the real position of the country. The pro-
positions that were to be brought before the Grand Council
for the revision of the Constitution, would prove that
there was no desire to remain stationary. They are
classed under six heads :-1. The situation of the canton
since April 1. 2. The strong opposition existing in the coun-
try. 3. The vices of the Constitution. 4. The adminis-
trative acts of the Government at the present critical moment.
5. The tendency to popular associations which exists. And
6. The anarchy of the periodical press. After other speeches,
which led to no result, the Council adjourned till next day.

Christie's, premises, the Royal George Hotel, discovered that
the front door was open. Having aroused the inmates, Mr.
Christie hastened down, when his attention was called to a
strong smell of burning, which appeared to rise from the
lower part of the building. Mr. Christie and the constable
at once commenced an examination of the premises, and on
yo

going into the back kitchen they found a fire burning, which
it is suspected was wilfully caused by some person. Upon
making a further search, it was ascertained that the till had
been forced open, and about 20s. taken therefrom. This fact
strengtheps the supposition that the premises had been first
robbed and then set fire to. Fortunately the discovery was
so opportunely made that the fire was easily got out and be-
fore much damage was done.
NAVAL PREPARATIONS.—A large augmentation in
the number of artisans and labourers in all our dockyards
will take place immediately. No less than 426 additional hands
are ordered to be entered in the dockyard, viz. :-150 ship-
wrights, d 6 joiners, 22 caulkers, 48 smiths, 100 labourers,
42 sawyers, and 38 ropemakers' labourers. The ropemakers
are also to be augmented, and several stout boys are to be
admitted to this department. With the increased force four large
war-steamers are to be built upon the designs respectively of
Mr. Fincbam, the master shipwright, and Mr. White of
Cowes. These vessels, we are informed, will be got off the
stocks with all possible dispatch. The additional force is
engaged fpr six months, at the same wages as the other
artisans. A daily report is ordered to be made of the state of
the advaneed thirty sail-of-the-line, and all stores not perish-
able, and furniture not liable to deteriorate by being afloat,
are to be put on board as convenient. The steam guard"
ships are to be brought forward immediately; in fact, some
of them have already been taken in hand. Notice for
tenders from engineers has been issued, and the tenders for
screw machinery for these steam guard-ships will be sent
into the Admiralty from the various firms after the Ist of
next ruonth.—Hampshire Telegraph.
Ma. WAKLEY, M.P.--A paragraph respecting the
alleged state of Mr. Wakley's health, which appeared in a
weekly medical journal, and which has been copied into
several of the newspapers, has caused considerable uneasiness
among the Hon. Gentleman's friends. We have great plea-
sure in stating that the representations contained in the para-
graph in question are wholly destitute of foundation. Mr.
Wakley, about three weeks ago, left London for the Isle of
Skye, having previously purchased the right of shooting in
that island. Not having quitted town for ten years pre-
viously, foil the purpose of recreation, it was thought that a
temporary residence in an island 700 miles north of London
would greatly conduce to the improvement of his health, after
the fatigues of professional and Parliamentary life. We are
gratified to be able to state that these anticipations have been
realised.—Observer.

We have accounts from Madrid of the Bth inst. General
NARVAEZ was expected to arrive in the capital about the
12th, and the QUEEN, with her mother and sister, on the
14th or 15th. The Gazette publishes instructions from the
Finance Minister to the collectors of the income-tax through-
out the kingdom. On lands, the tax is to be taken accord-
ing to the net profits from agricultural produce ; and as re-
gards commerce, according to the profits in trade, professions,
&c., as in the income-tax of this country. It does not ap-
pear from these instructions that any important modifications
have been made in this tax, which is viewed in the most un-
favourable light, and probably will yet give some employment
to the army under NARVAEZ. The Spaniards are little ac-
customed to taxation for State purposes, and in the inland
provinces, more especially, it will meet with strong resist-
ance. The following decree, creating the mother of General
CORDOVA a Peeress, appears in the Gazette :—" Wishing to
honour the memory of the illustrious General CORDOVA, who
commanded in chief at the battle of Mendigorria, which de-
cided the fate of the throne and country, and taking also into
consideration the merit of his brother Camp-Marshal COR-
DOVA, and his conduct in the recent events at Madrid, her
MAJESTY has granted to their mother, Donna MARIA DX LA
PAS VALCAREL, the Grandesa of Castille, with the titles of
Marchioness de Mendigorria and Viscountess d'Arlaban
which, on her demise, shall pass to her said son, Don F. F.
DE CORDOVA and his descendants."

The Paris papers contain no news of importance. The
Journal des Debats, in reply to a charge brought against the
Minister of Public Works, by the National, for the haste
with which the contract for the Northern -Railway line was
made, sufficiently explains the cause. " The Company," it
states, " is obliged to reimburse to the State, at an interest
of 3 per cent., the sums expended, or to be expended, by the
State for the works of the railroad between Paris and the
Belgian frontier, and that that interest was to run from the
date of the homologation of the adjudication. 11,300,000 f.
have been laid out in the construction of the two roads
from Lille and Valenciennes to the frontier of Belgium,
and credits to an amount of 78,000,000 f. have been opened in
the Department of Public. Works for the construction of the
line between Paris, Lille, and Valenciennes. • The sums ex-
pended, or to be expended, by the State accordingly
amount to about 90,000,000 f., and the interest due by the
Company, from the date of the homologation, to 2,700,000 f.,
or 225,000 E per month, or 7,500 f. per day. What would
the National have said, if the Minister, by delaying the
homologation of the adjudication, had retarded the period at
which so considerable an interest commenced to run ?" The
same journal makes some severe comments on the dispatches
of Count WonoNzoFe, giving an account of what has been
called " Victories in the Caucasiy," and contends that there
had deen no victories at all, but decided defeat. The object
of the Russian General was to separate certain tribes by cut-
ting off their communications, and had employed four divi-
sions of his army for that purpose, which entirely failed—all
these divisions falling back, one upon the other, and at last
retiring in a body. The official journal, therefore, concludes
that the expedition into the Daghestan had led to no result,
and that COunt WORONZOFF had been created a Prince for
doing nothing. The following remarks relative to the late
commercial treaty between France and Naples appear in the
Government paper:—
" The relations between the two kingdoms were regulated ever
since the family compact of the Bourbons, that is, for nearly 200
years, by a system of mutual concessions, guaranteeing certain privi-
leges to each, but which, not being stipulated in a formal and special
treaty, could be easily revoked or eluded. On the other hand, the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies was precluded by a tacit convention from
extending to any other country the advantages enjoyed by French
trade in the. Neapolitan dominions. A first treaty, signed on the
28th of February, 1817, merely confirmed those immunities, which
consisted principally in a reduction of 10 per cent. in the duties on
French goods imported into the kingdom of Naples on board French
or Neapolitan vessels. The treaty of the 14th of. July. 1845, for-
mally abolished all exclusive privileges, while it maintained
for a period of ten years the above reduction of 10 per
cent. in the import duties on French merchandise. The
Neapolitan Government pledged itself, by the same treaty, not to
re-establish the old Immunities to favour of any nation whatsoever,
and at the same time not to grant to any other State, pending the
duration of the treaty, the advantages secured by it to France. The
Neapolitan Government had, moreover, consented to a diminution
of one-half in the import duties on French china, glass, and crystal ;
of one-third on bronze and copper works, such as clocks, candelabra,
chains, locks, Bc.c. ; of one-half on articles of fashion, bonnets, caps,
shawls, handkerchiefs, feathers, artificial flowers, mantillas, lace,
crape, veils, hangings, &c. ; of one-third on leather and skins, co-
loured or varnished ; of 5-12ths on wrought gold and jewellery.
Those reductions are to take place independently of the reduction of
10 per cent. above-mentioned. According to the documents lately
published by the Minister of Commerce, the intercourse between the
two countries amounts to about 180,000,000 f.—viz., I 30,000,000 f. for
the continental possessions, and 50,000,000 f. for Sicily."

walls. Hall was thrown some distance from where he stood, and
was so much injured about the head and other parts of his body
that there is but little chance of his recovery. The noise brought
several persons to the spot, who were exceedingly active in their
endeavours to rescue the engineman from the fallen mass of build-

that no other party was in the engine.house at the time, so that
Hall is the only sufferer. He was immediately conveyed to the
Infirmary, where he lies in a hopeless state. The accident arose
from the steam having been worked at too high a pressure.
JARROW COLLIERY EXPLOSIoN.—The Commis-
sioners appointed by Government to inquire into the causes of the
recent explosion of fire damp at Jarrow Colliery are pursuing their
investigations, and as reporters are not allowed to be present at
their meetings, neither the evidence of the various witnesses
examined nor the general course of the inquiry can be known
their report is presented. It is understood, however, that
the Commissioners are desirous of collecting all the information
they can from parties cognizant of facts relating to the state of the
mine previous to the explosion, and with that view they have had
private Interviews with several of the workmen employed upon the
colliery. They have also availed themselves of the assistance of
parties who have been engaged in mining operations in various
parts of the district, as to the general mode of yoking, and the
system of ventilation employed, and it is understood that the in-
quiry will be the most elaborate and scientific that has ever been
instituted.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT•—On Tuesday even-
ing last, about half-past five o'clock, a man named Joseph Kidd, of
Renwick, Cumberland, aged 39 years, and a valuable horse, came
to untimely ends under the following distressing circumstances :
It appears that there is a very large cutting about a quarter of a
there-
mile distant from Penrith Castle, and the earth is conveyed
from in waggons at a rapid rate on an incline a certain distance
through the fields, and across the main road leading from
renrith to Keswick, to near the ruins of the Castle, where
the line becomes loci; the waggons are drawn from this
cut by
place by horses to a large filling up at Penrith Townhead,
and the empty waggons are dragged
back again to the
horses. Deceased was in the act of taking five empty
waggonsu
up again to the cut, and when he came to the " point,''
or place where the change of line takes place, on unyoking
the horse fro.n the waggons, it unfortunately turned the
wrong way, and got upon the line, where five loaded waggons were
coming down the incline at a most furious speed, and in order to
extricate the horse from its perilous situation he ran upon that
line after it ; but before he could get it off and himself out of the
way the loaded waggons came smash upon him .and the horse, and
all of them went over them both. One of his thighs was smashed
to atoms, and his spine and head were dreadfully injured. Dr.
Templeton, the surgeon on that part of the line, happened to be
near the spot at the time, who ordered Kidd to be conveyed home.
Other medical gentlemen were also soon in attendance, but they
would not amputate by reason of deceased having lost so much
blood, and the injuries to the spine and head. Although suffering
the most excruciating pain, the poor man was sensible till about
half-past nine o'clock of the same evening, when death put an end
to his torments. The horse was not killed, but it was so dread-
fully crushed and mangled that it was shot on the place. On the
same day, on the same line, near Yew's Cragg viaduct, Westnaore.

waggons, most miraculously escaped being killed. When um.

fell into the middle of the line, where he lay quietly stretched out
till all the waggons passed over him, without receiving the least in-
jury. On getting up the lad did nothing but laugh, and ham,

(Continued from The Seas of Sept. 15.)
The Doncaster meeting commences to-morrow with a programme
of sport that must gladden the heart of every Yorkshireman and
every turfite. In accordance with my promise, I proceed to state
upon paper my reasons for naming the probable winners of the Va.
noes races.
For the Champagne I selected Mr. Ramsay's Malcolm,
the superiority of his running at York
and the strength of th
stable. My other fancy, Princess Alice, I chose merely from her
improved form at Goodwood. from
In the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes I thought Lord George Bentinck's
filly would be found the best, from seeing that she was on her road,
and from an idea that his Lordship would not take the trouble to
send her unless he deemed her good enough to win.
In the match between Semiseria and Nottingham I stood on the
former because her running at Goodwood showed a marked im-
provement in her form.
In the exciting St. Leger I selected Mentor, from his public run.
ning being so good, from the stable being in such strong force this
season, from the opportunities enjoyed by his party of ascertaining
his merits, and the weight of money put upon him by those whose
judgment in racing cannot be disputed for an instant. Weather-
bit I would not have, from an impression that he will not have got
over his trying race for the Goodwood Cup, in which he ought,
had he been good enough, to have won the St. Leger; he should have
beaten a mare somewhat stale from running over so trying a course
the previous day. Miss Sarah I declined having from thinking her
victory by no means of that importance that others attached to it,
seeing Miss Elis's good qualities had been nearly all taken out of her
by her previous doings. Annandale's running at York already dis-
plays Old England's pretensions ; that he will obtain a forward po-
sition in the race, I have not the least doubt. His being started
at Salisbury was by no means encouraging to his backers for this
race, inasmuch as it looked as if his owner was determined to get
as much out of him as he could while sound. The Baron and
Ould Ireland will run respectably, and perhaps remunerate those
parties who have drawn them in sweeps, by putting into their
pockets the third prize. The Welsh horse Pantasa will struggle on
well, but I think his forte more gameness than speed.
In the Cleveland Handicap I named Mr. Meiklam's Godfrey,
from the manner in which he fulfilled my prediction respecting him
at York.
In the Municipal Stakes, the way in which I saw Arkwright
finish his race at Goodwood caused me to name him as the probable
winner.

In the Foal Stakes my reasons for preferring Midlothian are un-
necessary to mention.
For the Great Yorkshire Handicap I preferred (Glossy, from a
confident belief in her superiority to the rest of the field. My
Mary ought to run respectably.
Midlothian's doings in public made me: pick him for the winner
of the Scarborough.
The same reasons led me to fix upon Mentor-or Ould Ireland
for the Gascoyne, and Princess Alice or Freelance for the Two-yrs.
old Stakes.
The result of the St. Leger will determine In a great measure, the
Parkhill Stakes, and one of the Misses I think will no doubt win it.
In the two matches that follow, I preferred the owners of Lord
Harry and Fitzallen to those of their antagonists.
