of any heating expedition on the Rio Plata, and the land
defer•ces of Buena Ayres, it is highly probable that
these operations may be long protracted. But the
Monte-Videan flotilla of boats, being now free from all
molestation by the cruisers of 13ut.nos Ayres (which
are in the ,afe keeping of the combined squadron), will
be able to keep up supplies, and organise convoys with-
out much hazard, in a country which, wild as it is, is
very scantily peopled.
Roses, we perceive, by a refinement of his character-
istic craftiness, is endeavouring to win " golden
opinions" by the studied attention he is now, so tardily
paying to British merchants and traders, the compatriots
of those whom he had before so habitually maltreated
and domineered over. And we must say we are rather
grieved at the extreme facility with which some of
them have fallen into so palpable a snare. They talk,
not only in the memorial they have addressed to Lord
ABERDEEN—but in the private letters, from which we
published extracts yesterday—of the interference of
France and England in the disputes between Monte
Video and Buenos Ayres, on account of the wrings,
real or imaginary (! !), inflicted by the latter Republic
on the former, as if it were a most uncalled-for and ill-
advised interference. But here is the "met de tenigme."
"Ile local political affairs of the country," writes one
correipondent from Buenos Ayres, "do not concern us
so long as we are amply protected." This is to claim
too much for themselves in their character of simple
merchants or foreign settlers. They ought to know
that, together with their indefeasible allegiance, they
carry all over the world an indefeasible nationality ; and
that in respect of the superior gravity of these
two properties, to any simple personal rights
so far as those rights are affected, only, and directly, by
their residence in a foreign state, their first duty, as
well as liability, is to conform to whatever sacrifices that
allegiance and that nationality exact of them. Now the
protection of their flag has been insulted by Roses; and
to the startling and infatuated declaration of the same
correspondent, that he and the other British residents in
Buenos Ayres " have hitherto been amply protected,"
we can only oppose the remonstrances of the merchants
addressed to Mr. MANDEVILLE and Mr. GORE OUSE-
LEY, successively ; the treatment of General O'BRIEN ;
the murderous atrocities of the Masorca Club ;
the (till now) undisguised hostility of Roses, openly de-
clared, to all British commerce and British merchants ;
and the facts of spoliation, forced contributions, confisca
tions, arrests, and imprisonments, and the total extinction
of their commerce between Monte Video and Buenos
Ayres, avowedly exercised for so long a period by RosAs
and his creatures against our fellow-countrymen, wher-
ever he could find them within his clutches. All the
other young republics of South America are profoundly
interested in this affair. Their prosperity and advance-
ment must be held to be identified with the bringing RO3AS
to reason, and depriving him—in the mildest alternative
—of all future power to insult the dignity and honour of
European Powers in peaceful relations with his state,
and to scandalise humanity and Christendom by a fero-
cious deportment anti a wanton shedding of human
blood, and a detestable sporting with human suffering,
such as would have disgraced even the superstitious
cruelty of some aboriginal chieftain of the countries he
rules over.

We understand that not a few members of the " Col-
lective Wisdom " look forward to the meeting of Par-
liament with fear and trembling. Never at any former
period were the representatives of the people subjected
to such labour as during the last session. Almost
every active Member, not exempted by office or age,
was engaged in some railroad Committee or another.
Frequently from fifteen to twenty-five Committees were
sitting at a time, commencing their work at an early
hour for men engaged, often till one or two o'clock in
the morning, on legislative duties, sitting till the House
again resumed business, and frequently prolonged be-
yond that hour, with the hope of clearing off the
frightful accumulation that daily poured in, and
even then a great deal was left unfinished, or lines of
importance hurried through without mature deliberation.
But even these were the least of the evils. They neither
could do justice to their representatives, nor take care
of their own health, and the consequence was, that a
greater mortality ensued among Members than had been
known for any year, perhaps, during the last half cen-
tury. But the labour of last session was nothing com-
pared with that which the ensuing promises. Railways,
it would appear, are only commencing. There are now
twenty projected lines for one brought forward at any
former period, many of them too will be more difficult
to arrange, because there are more jarring interests ;
there are direct competing lines in considerable num-
bers, not a few which will, more or less, interfere vi ith
the profits of those already constructed, and conse-
quently the time and labour necessary to investigate
these circumstances, and come to a fair decision—just
alike to the community and to those who had risked
their property in these vast undertakings—will pro-
bably be increased tenfold. The Members eligible
for Committees may well tremble, therefore, at
the gloomy prospect, and try to invent some
expedients for lightening such an amount of labour.
Possibly this session the Irish division may become more
tractable. Ireland is now to be intersected with rail-
ways as well as England and Scotland, and it is only
fair that the repealers should make themselves useful,
and improve a country which, according to their predic-
tions, will speedily be independent. But even that
would make little difference, fn. admitting that many of
the new lines may not be pressed at present, still
more will remain than human strength can do justice to,
and the question, therefore, comes—What is to be done?
Some hare proposed that a Bill 'should be passed for ex-
cluding all candidates at elections of a certain age, or
not fit for every sort of employment, so that the House
might consist, like a good regiment of soldiers, only
of able-bodied, iron- framed, and hard-working Mem-
bers, fearing nothing, and ready for every work-
But such a scheme would deprive the lower House of
the experience, wisdom, and judgment of many vener-
able legislators, and probably would find little support
either in the Commons or the Lords. The only remedy
that we can discover is to make the Peers do their duty,
ands begin the labours of their session at least a
quarter of a year earlier than usual. Little or nothing
is done in that House till the end of May, Thus
nearly four months are lost which might be use-
fully employed in lessening the labours of the
Commons and in dispatching at least one half of the
principal Railway Bills. Relief, too, might be afforded,
by limiting the speeches of counsel, and by compelling
them to speak only to the main points, and reject all
that legal jargon, which only wastes useful time, and
corrupts the English language. At all events, some
scheme must be devised, else it will not be possible to
find candidates for Parliamentary honours. Many
boroughs and counties will be unrepresented, and it will
be as difficult to find a man to risk his life in a Railway
Committee as in an expedition to the coast of Africa.

Madrid journals of the 17th inst. have been received.
In the Eco del Comercio we find the following para-
graph, which we believe has no foundation. Indeed
that journal does not attach much credit to it ! "We
have seen a letter from Gibraltar which positively
announces that foreign envoys have arrived thither,
whose mission is to recruit officers in all the depots
of the emigrants from Portugal, Spain, &c., i❑
order to join the army of Ana-EL-FADER, and at-
tack the French colonies. These agents, it is said.
have a considerable sum of money at their com-
mand, and present great advantages to such as wish
to enlist. We do not place much faith in this news;
nevertheless, it must be remembered that MEHEMET
ALI organised his army and succeeded in throwing off
the authority of the Porte by means of the European
officers who emigrated from their country in conse-
quence of the political events of 1823." The muni-
cipal election for Madrid did not appear to excite much
interest, as the Government would have them all their
own way. Senor CORTES, who had been appointed
a Councillor of State. had, in consequence of that, re-
signed the situation of Secretary to the QUEEN. The
health of her MAJESTY, it is said, is improving. No
public business was done on the Bourse.

The Paris Moniteur contains an official notice from
the Minister of Public Works, fixing the 25th of No-
vember for the adjudication of the Tours and Nantes
Railway and the Paris and Strasburg, with branches to
Rheims, Metz, and Saarbruek. The concession for the
first line is not to exceed the period of thirty-five years,
and for the Paris and Strasburgh, forty-five. This an-
nouncement had a favourable effect on the share market,
and a considerable rise took place on the northern and
some other principal lines. A slight depression, however,
took place towards the close of business both in shares
and stock, attributed to the seizure of the books, papers,
and money, of two brokers employed for the disposal of
shares in the new lines. Altogether, however, the Bourse
displayed more firmness on Thursday than for several
days.
Official dispatches received by the Minister of War from
General LANORICIERE appear in the papers. These dis-
patches are dated Temouchen, Oct. 4, and give details of
various encounters with the Arabs, but they add nothing
to the previous intelligence from that quarter. The
Algerie states that ABD•EL•KADErt receives all his sup
plies from Gibraltar, through Morocco, and that he has
an agent at Tetuan who sends him everything that he

requires in arms, ammunition, etc. This journal adds
that ABD-EL-KADER has at Taza, a town of Morocco,
and governed by one of the Emperor's offic,rs, a powder-
mill, and workshops for the repair of arms and the manu-
facture of accoutrements. Accounts in these papers
leave no doubt that SOULT will, in a few days, give up
the war department, but still remain in the Cabinet as
President of the Council. The Constitutionnel says
General PREY AL will be appointed Minister of War.
Marshal BUGEAUD arrived at Algiers on the 15th.

Accounts from Milan announce the arrival of the Em-
peror of RUSSIA at that place on the t7th instant. There
is no truth, however, in the report of the arrival of the
Emperor of AUSTRIA. The Journal des Debuts gives
the following account of the journey of NICHOLAS
through Germany and the north of Italy, and also his
arrival with the EMPRESS at Genoa;—

" The Emperor of Russia arrived at Milan on the 17th
instant, at eight o'clock in the evening, in the uniform of
colonel of the Austrian cavalry regiment which bears his
name. Before he went to the Empress he visited Field Mar-
shal Radetsky, commander-in chief of the Austrian forces in
Lombardy, but the marshal was not at home. The Emp r,
who wished to preserve a strict incognito, went away, re-
siring that the marshal should not be distutbed, saying that
he well knew that there was only the extra Austrian
colonel at Milan. The Empress, who, on reaching the
Lake of Como, was perfectly unacquainted with the
sudden resolution of the Eml.eror to come to her be-
fore her arrival at Palermo, had remained at Milan much
longer' than she at first intended. She arrived on the
14th with the Grand Duchess Olga, and was received with
the warmest welcome by the Archduke Viceroy and his
Archduchess. She has inspected all the public establish-
ments, and has bren present at an extraordinary represen-
tation at the Scala theatre. When she was quitting the
theatre, the audience applauded her. Ths Emperor passed
with surprising velocity through Germany, against which
country he is greatly irritated. Bavaria, in particular, has
excited his discontent by the articles in the Augsburg Ga-
zette, which have given such precise details on the late
events in the Caucasus, and reflections on the religious
persecutions exercised in the Polish and German provinces
against the Roman Catholics and the Protestants. There-
fore, he would not pass through Munich, but came by the
Valley of the Inn and the Lake of Como to Milan. This
sudden appearance of the Emperor Nicholas has produced a
lively sensation throughout Germany. The Emperor, on
his pant, has had his mind so much disturbed by the re-
ligious movements and liberal tendencies manifested in
Germany, that he expected to meet at every point with
fanatics and assassins, and took every precaution to conceal
his journey, having horses ordered at each relay for four dif-
ferent roads. Throughout his passage he was not once re-
cognised. The Emperor and Empress left Milan on the 18th
for Genoa, where were already arrived the King and Queen
of Sardinia, and Prince Albert of Prussia, the Empress's
brother. Their Imperial Majesties are lodged in a palace
assigned to them by the King of Sardinia. The Empress
appears to be muck fatigued by her journey. She had in-
tended to go by land from Genoa to Naples, because a sea
voyage is injurious to her health, but the Emperor is said to
be averse to it, from his unwillingness to traverse the Roman
Srates, on account of his differences with the Papal Court.
It is to be feared that this voyage by sea, at this season of

the year, may injuriously affect the health of the Empress.
It is by a Russian steamer, which has just come to an anchor
in the port of Genoa, that their Majesties will proceed to
Palermo. It is believed that the Emperor will not stay more
than a month with the Empress, and that on his return he
will visit the Emperor of Austria at Vienna. Count Nessel-
rode quitied the Emperor on the road, and went to the Aus-
trian capital, whence he will proceed to Rome, and there, as
it is said, remain two or three months."

The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
Continental papers :
The Civil Tribunal of the Seine was occupied on Wed-
nesday with the adjourned suit of Count Leon, natural son of
the Emperor Napoleon, against his mother the Countess de
Luxbourg, demanding from her a pension of 6,000 f. for his
support. It may be remembered that this affair was brought
on last week, and postponed to allow the counsel of the de-.
fendant to take cognisance of a number of documents ad-
duced by the plaintiff in support of his case. Amongst others
were letters from General Bertrand, Count de Las Lases, and
M. Marchand, declaring that at St. Helena the Emperor had
frequently spoken of the plaintiff in kind terms, and in his
will had left a suns of 300,000 f. to purchase him an estate.
A great number of receipts were also put in and read,
showing that the Count, when in prosperity, had for
years accorded provisions to the Countess, to her sister, Mlle.
Zulma de Laplagne, and to the first husband of the Countess.
One receipt also ackowledged a sum of 25,000 f. paid to the
Countess herself. The Countess at present lives with her
husband at Manheim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden. Her
avone, M. Delorme, demanded a further postponement on the
ground that M. Marie, her aeocat, was absent. This was
opposed by the other party, on the ground that the required
delay was only a part of the system of tactics adopted by
the defendant in the suit ; the matter, he said, was in
reality too urgent to admit of further postponement, and the
proofs of the Count's being the defendant's son, on which
the whole suit rested, were so clear that any delay was
uncalled for. The avoid of the defendant argued, at great
length, that the acte de naissance produced by Count
Leon did not, and could not, in any way refer to the
Countess; but, on the other side, a letter was produced in
her own handwriting, in which she repeatedly named him
her son, and spoke of him with great interest. In addition,
another letter, dated Oct. 14, 1845, was put in from the mo-
ther of the Countess, now living with her at Manheim, in
which the plaintiff is named "her dear grandson," and the
Countess de Luxbourg is called his " mother." The letter
which implores the plaintiff to terminate the dissensions
existing in the family is signed "your affectionate grand-
mother." The Court decided that from the evidence there
could be no doubt that Count Leon was certainly the son of
the Conntess de Luxbourg; and that, as the case was
urgent, all delay ought to be refused, and that the pleadings
must be proceeded with at once. As no person appeared for
the defendant, the Court condemned the Countess de Lux-
bourg by default to pay her son, Count Leon, an alimentary
pension of 6,000 fr. a-year.
" The Chambre de Vacations was on the same day occu-
_ .

pied with an appeal brought to a decision of the Civil
Tri-
bunal of the Seine, delivered on May 18, 1845, against Mrs.
Wise, the daughter of the Prince de Canino (Lucien Bona-
parte). This lady, who is separated from her husband, owed
in 1839 to her agent, M. Bernard de Mourcourt, a sum of
2,200 fr., for which she passed him a promissary note, due
December, 1840. The money, however, was not paid at
that period, and the note remained in M. de Mourcourt's
possession until November, 1844, when he ceded it to M.
Evette. This latter, having applied ineffectually to the
Princess for the money, brought an action against her, and
she was condemned to pay the amount and costs. An appeal
was lodged by her, on the ground that the account of in-
terest was erroneously drawn up, but the Court decided that
no grounds whatever existed for the appeal, and accordingly
confirmed the former judgment.
The following changes have been made in the Consular
department. M. Limperane, Consul at Civita Vecchia, is
removed to the Consulate at Venice: M. Sauveur Lacha •
pelle, Consul at Ostend, succeeds M. Limperaine at Civita
Vecchia; and M. de Franqueville, late Consul at Venice,
takes the place of M. Sauveur Lachapelle at Ostend.
The Duke de Palmella arrived at Havre on Wednesday,
from Paris, to embark for Lisbon in the English steamer,
the North Star, which had come to Havre from London ex-
pressly for that purpose.
The Archbishop of Cologne, M. DE DROSTE WIS-
cnERING, died on the 19th, at Munster, after a long ill-
ness, aged 72. He was made Bishop of Munster in
1827, and Archbishop of Cologne in 1836. This is the
prelate whose differences with the Prussian Government
relative to mixed marriages caused such excitement in

the Rhenish provinces.

DEATH IN THE WESTMINSTER HOUSE OF COR-
RECTION.—On Friday afternoon Mr. Bedford held an inquest
at the Westminster House of Correction (late Bridewell), on
the body of Mary Davis, aged 19, a prisoner. The deceased
was received into the prison on the 20th of May last, having
been convicted at the Middlesex Sessions of larceny, and sen-
tenced to six calendar months' imprisonment. Mr. John
Davis, the prison surgeon, said that the deceased first came
under his notice on the sth inst., having been seized with a
fit of epilepsy during the night. Tie then found that she
was in a pregnant state, and near the period of her confine-
ment. Every attention was paid to her, and on the follow-
ing day she was delivered of a dead male child. She re-
mained in an unconscious state until the 9th, when she ral-
lied, and appeared to be getting better until the 14th, when
she suffered a relapse. She continued to gradually sink, and
expired on Thursday morning from disease of the brain,
brought on by convulsions. Verdict, " Natural Death."
CLERGYMEN ON RAILWAYS.—When we saw the
names of various clergymen in the list of directors of
proposed railways, we felt that the reverend gentlemen
could not be better placed. As railways are for the most
part conducted, we think every company should have at
least ten clergymen in its direction, one holy gentleman
being compelled to travel with every train, that he might be
on the spot to administer consolation in the case of mortal
casualty. Indeed, every train should have its parson, as
every line-of-battle ship has its chaplain. Henry of Exeter,
however, has written a sort of pastoral note to a director
clergyman, calling his attention to the Ist and 2d Victoria,
which do not permit members of the Church to " deal for
gain or profit." Taking the hint from the Bishop, may we
also be allowed ;,to point nut these statutes to certain deans
and chapters who show their churches for gain and profit,
and, turning the penny by the exhibition of statues, &c., do
certainly compete with Madame Tussaud, and suchlike
traders ?—Punch. _ _

child, the son of William Turner, a shoemaker, residing at
4, Northampton-row, Old Kent-road, who died from the

clear that the deceased had died from the want of proper as-

not been sacrificed also. lie (the Coroner) thought that
much blame was attached to the midwife for leaving Mrs.
Turner in such a state. The jury returned a verdict of" Ac-

MONEY and COIVIIVIERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yes'erday were 3,000
bales, without any change in prices. Shares were withcut
alteration.

The letters rcceived this morning from Liverpool, Man-
chester, and Bristol (the principal Provincial Railway Share
Markets), state that the apprehended storm had passed over
or nearly so, without having led to those disastrops results
that have been so eagerly sought for by the Times, so that
its prophecy of a certain panic might be fulfilled. There is
more caution displayed among the holders of, and
dealers in, Shares everywhere, thanks to the Bank
of England notes, and not attributable to the
warnings of our Morning contemporary to task the limit of
exciting apprehensions in the hands of the holders of Rail-
way Shares, at second thought, and after the Directors of the
Bank of England had decided upon an it.crease in the value
of money. " Let all bubble schemes sink," is the opinion of
all respectable parties in the City, but the Times attempts to
deal its thunder against all, so that if right in a few iso-
lated case, it may claim the right of saying, in allusion to
putting an end to reckless speculation, " We did it all."
There are accounts from Hobart Town and Launceston
to the middle of June. The most material fact stated in
the papers received at the North and South American
Cabe-house is, that the markets for wheat were advanc-
ing. The state of public credit had improved.
The weekly return of the Bank of England up to the 25th
inst. shows the following changes as compared with the items
of the last statement :

A &crease in the circulation of 289,8651, or to 27,778,955/.
Au increase in the rest of 48,6354 or to 3,188,641/.
A decrease in the Public Deposits of 4,294,5564 or to
4,488,4191.

But in other Deposits there is an increase of 1,360,7481., or
to 9,835,604/.

11 the item of 7 days'. Bills, there is a slight increase only,
or to 1,123,843/.

In other Securities, the decrease is 1,084,4371., or to
.4,049;5291.

In the notes in the Banking Department there is a decrease
Prom 7,037,6001. to 5,525,5101.

As in the total operations of the Bank, a decrease of
2,842,5361, or to 33,1i9,507/.

The stock of bullion by the last return was 14,580,6541.,
and by the present 14,190,2851.; decrease 390,3691.
The monthly returns from the Private and Joirt-stock
Banks, &c., show an increase in the gross circulation of
promissory notes of 660,112/., or to 10,261,364/.

A more marked fall has occurred in the Funds this from-
ing than we have had occasion to notice lately. Mosey
stock is most abundant. Consols have 'alien rapielv
from 97 to 9G14, and for Account from 97% to
96%; both are now to 1/2 per cent. higher. Reduced
Three per Cents. are down to 951/2, and the Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. to 99%1/8. Exchequer Bills have been
sold at 395. to 41s. premium. India Stock fell early in the
day to 263, but rallied again to 265., Bank Stock opened
the same as yesterday, viz., at 205%.
The Foreign Funds in which bargains were made to-day
have been sold lower than yesterday. The Portuguese Con-
verted are :only at 57i ; Spanish at 25i ; the Dutch Two-
and• a-Half per Cants. at 57fr 58; Mexican at 304; and
Brazilian at 78.

The Railway Share Market has been a scene of perfect
confusion to-day. To attempt to analyse the fluctuations is
a matter of impossibility. There are many speculative
sellers anxious to take advantage of lower rates to come
The official list will give the variation.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The Second October Meeting at Newmarket was the
pleasantest known for some years. The weather was
delightful, the attendance most numerous, and the de-
light evinced by the old stagers that the character of the
future meetings was not to be invaded by the threatened
invasion of cocknies, which would certainly have taken
place had the contemplated stands been erected, was
natural and to be commended.

On Monday we had nine races, all well contested,
but only two of them were speculated upon to a great
extent, and those were the matches bete een Minotaur
and St. Lawrence, and Crcesus and Nottingham. In
the former I was fortunate enough to name the winner,
and as I was uncertain whether the other would be run
I did not touch upon it. This, I fancy, will be the last
race ridden by gentlemen jockeys for some time at New-
market.

On Tuesday, the splendid prize given by the heir to
throne of Russia brought to the post a most extensive
field, which was beaten with perfect ease by The Baron
who proved himself a far better horse than I imagined,
be was. Wee Pet, who I said was sure to be forward,
was second, and Jenny Wren, the mare I expected to
win if Agis had not gone, was backed at 5 to 1 ; when
I wrote she was at 12, so that her backers could not
have hurt themselves. To show the estimation in which
The Baron was held by the stable, it is right to observe
that he was not backed for any money, as they thought
the weight must stop him. The result did not please
the fielders, many of whom had not got round. In the
Cle.arwell, Sting and Princess Alice maintained the posi-
tions I thought they would occupy. Sorella and the
cob, however, disappointed me in their matches—the
latter was backed heavily at 6 to 5.
On Wednesday, Deerchase won a sweepstakes by a
head front a small field. Celia beat Espoir in a canter,
as I told my readers she would. Jet won the Oat-
lands from Trueboy, not by speed, but merely by tem-
per. The Town Plate brought thirteen to the post, and
was won, after a pretty race, by Metal, an animal, I
opine, which will be heard of again. The day's sport
was brought to an end by Prologue's winning 200 soya.
from Vaudeville, who had not recovered her Irish trip.
After a couple of matches, and the usual sweep-
stakes, we had a most excellent race for the Handicap
Plate, A.F., which Ruff won in a manner that left no
doubt in auy one's mind but, had he been handled pro-
perly in the Cearewitch, he would have been very close
to The Baron—in fact, too close to be pleasant. Evenus
must have been off his running, for he was beaten very
soon in the race. The next that followed was for the
Bretby Stakes, in which Cuckoo beat Polka on the post
by a head, and the latter mare beat Ennui by the same
distance.

On Friday the week's sport was brought to a close by
seven good races ; none, however, call for any particular
observation. The Prendergast was carried off by Princess
Alice, according to my idea, and in the three matches
which followed I was lucky enough to point out the
winners.

The Houghton Meeting commences under most fa-
vourable auspices on Monday. I never knew the Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes, from its establishment, excite so much
interest as it does at present ; an unprecedented number
of horses have been backed for it, and nearly all will
go. I will endeavour, as far as lies in my power, to assist
my readers in the difficult task of selecting the
winner. In spite of The Baron's splendid performance
in the past week, I do not really think with 7st. 51b. he
can win, but that he will be either second or third I
have no doubt. Gorhambury, Garry Owen, Needful,
and Trueboy I will not hear of. Neither do I think
Perkin Warbeek, Ironmaster, Nottingham, Caen, Hope,
Vaudeville, Duc-an-Durras, Valerian, Secundus,
Longitude, Lady Wildair, Comrade, Physalis,
Mongrel, Prairie, Chertsey, Devil's Dust, Example,
Event, Remorse, Kesheng, Clumsy, My Mary, or Dean
Swift, have the slightest chance. Miss Elis, Midlothian,
Pantasa, Mentor, Extempore, and Lothario, are not
likely to go. The latter horse I preferred from the
moment the handicap came out. It should be recollected
he won the cup at Liverpool with Bst. 51b., and was only
beaten a neck for the Derby Handicap directly after-
wards, being crossed in the race. In the Goodweod
Stakes, with Bst. 131 b., he was third. Discord, Coranna,
Queen Mab, and the Cure, are situated in the same
manner. Refraction and Lightning are stopped by the
weight, and what remains now worth picking from, are
only Semiseria, Yardley, Ould Ireland, Wolfdog, Wee
Pet, Flattery, Croton Oil, Best Bower, Jenny Wren,
Everton, Paintbrush, and Jet. Shonld Semiseria run
kindly, as she did at Doncaster, I think she will
be found in a very good place at the finish.
Yardley should run well with Bst. from his recent
public doings. Ould Ireland, with 7st., is a most
dangerous animal to bo heavy against, and in my
opinion he has been kept for it. The distance will
exactly suit him, and the weight is very favourable to
him. To Wolfdog the same remarks will apply, although
it must be born in mind that the Alice he beat in the
Curragh last week was a very different animal from
Mice, the pride of the southern and northern sportsmen.
Neither the distance or weight will hurt Rowena. Ever-
ton is supported from his running second to Coheiress at
York, but as he has been subsequently beaten by infe-
rior animals, I would not recommend my friends to
stand too heavily upon him. Jenny Wren will like this
course better than the Cesarewitch. Best Bower w ill be
a powerful favourite, and with 6st 21b ought to be
there or there abouts. Flattery and Paintbrush I have
no doubt will run well, but are not quite good enough
to win. Croton Oil, when I think of his running, for the
Surrey Cup, which he won from the Wreck and Lotha-
rio should be very near. Of the light-weights Jet is the
best, and will beat the others. Wee Pet is a certain
starter, but an uncertain winner. In conclusion Imagine,
either Ould Ireland, Wolfdog, or Best Bower will be
the winner of the Cambridgeshire Stakes for 1845. That
The Baron will be second or third I feel most confident,
and next to him I think Semiseria, Rowena, and Yardley
or Jet will be found. Should Lotbario be started, I
would hare him in preference to Wolfdog or Best
Bower.

The length I have gone into the Cambridgeshire
Stakes must necessarily render my remarks on the other
races brief.

In the 300 sov. Stakes, Mr. Herbert's colt I prefer to
Lord Glasgow's.
Captain Phoebus will beat the Miss Whip cat; Miss
Elis, Oakley; and Refraction, Prologue; at least I think
so, after mature reflection.
The Criterion, I should imagine, would go to Princess
Alice, Sting, or West Countryman. Motilla should have
no trouble in beating Black Cat, nor Prologue in beat-
ing even the Altered One.
For the Glasgow Stakes I should take Arkwright;
and in the match between Garry Owen and Secundus, I
lean to the former. TELEGRAPH.
London, Oct. 25, 1845.

Bishop of Romford's Cob, Garry Owen, Trueboy, St.
Bernard, Due an ; urras, Needful, Yardley, Semiseria,
Young Lochinvar, The Baron, Nottingham, Ironmaste-r,
Rowena, Hope. Wolf-dog, Vaudeville, Ould Ireland,
Wee Pet, Longitude, Physalis, ./Egis, The Dart, Croton
Oil, Hartshorn, Mongrel, Jenny Wren, and perhaps
Alarm. Now I consider nothing but Jet, Yardley,
Semiseria, Nottingham, Ould Ireland, Wee Pet, Croton
Oil, Mongrel, and Jenny Wren, have the shadow of a
chance. This last batch, beyond a doubt, contains the
winner's name—the favourites I fancy"lnight as well stop
in their stables for all the good they will do their respec-
tive masters. Jet or Wee Pet, whichever may be Lord
Exeter's intended starter, will cut a very good figure,
doubtless getting placed. Semiseria, should she run
kindly, ought to be very handy, and at the present ex-
treme outside odds, well worth backing; Nottingham,
with only ist. 41b., will beat more than beat him; Jenny
Wren, with sst. 61b., ought, and perhaps will win, her
chance is one of the very best, and must not be despised.
Ould Ireland, if he goes, will show off to better advan-
tage than he did at his last appearance in public. Should
Lord G. Bentinck make Croton Oil his horse, with
6st. 61b., if it has any running in it, it ought and will be '
either first or second. Mongrel, a very fine well-made
animal, with 6st. 2lbs. on his back, just suited to the
course, will be found a difficult customer to stall off, and,
from his previous running and present appearance, will
be at the least placed. To sum up, I shall expect to see
the winner spring from the following fuur:—Wee Pet,
Mongrel, Semiseria, and Croton Oil. _

The 300 Soya. Stakes will go to Lord Glasgow. The
match between Captain Phebus and the Miss Whip colt,
to the former. The match between Oakley and Miss
Elis, to the latter. The match between Refracticn and
Prologue, to the former.
On Tuesday.the Criterion Stakes of 30 sovs. each,2o ft.,
will bring out about twelve, say the following :—Princess
Alice, Arkwright, Science, Mecca colt, Sting, Retriever
colt, Polka, Pet colt, Joy, Cuckoo, Malt, and Stockport
filly ; Sting having to carry ilbs. extra, and Princess
Alice, Arkwright, Polka, Joy, Cuckoo, and Malt each
21bs. extra. I shall not attempt to analyse the field, that
having been done before, but jump at once to the conclu-
sion, placing the redoubtable Sting first, Joy second,
Arkwright third, Princess Alice fourth, and Cuckoo
fifth.
The match between Motilla and Black Cat will be won
by the former; and the match between Anna Bullen and
Blanchie, by the latter.
On Wednesday ?rologue, Bst. ?lbs., will beat The
Altered Oue, Bst 51bs.
On Thursday Radulphus, Borghese, Arkwright,
Ignis-fatuus, Prospect, and Oxberry, will show for the
Glasgow Stakes, which will most assuredly be won by
Arkwright.
The match between Garry Owen and Secundus will
be won by the former.
On Friday the colt by Dulcimer receives forfeit from
LeChourineur; and the match between the Retriever colt
and Collingwood will be won by the latter.
On Saturday, by way of a finish, Oakley will receive
forfeit from Nix- my-Dolly.
I shall, in the course of a week or two, give my readers
a review of the doings of the two year olds this year
that are in the Derby or Oaks of 1846, and likewise the
condition and capabilities of many dark animals. The
three principal two year-olds that I have recommended
at various times to the attention of my readers, this year
have proved themselves well worthy of support, for
Where will you find better animals than Princess Alice,
Arkwright, and Sting? The last I prophesied would win
the New Stakes, Lavant, Molecombe, Clearwell, and
Criterion Stakes ; he won three out of the five easily,
run second in one through bad riding, and the other
Stake is at present undecided.—l am, Sir, yours,
