ever, the trade did not briskly as at the opening of
the market. show of tine foreign Wheat was by no
'means lar;_:e. There being much inquiry for that descrip-
tion of grain, holders were. firm, and would not sell, except at
a rise of from 2s to 3s per quarter, at which amount f im-
provement a large business was transacted. Fur Corn,
under lock, there was a good speculative inquiry, and Is to

A:though tberdwere no orders on the market for the pur-
chase of either Barley, Oats, Beans, or Peas, for shipment to
the continent, those articles were steady, and previous rates
were well supported. The supply of English Barley was
very small; however the sale tir it was somewhat active, at
a rise in the quotations of is pn. quarter. For the best
parcels of Malt we had a. steady demand, at is per quarter
more money; while the value of other kinds was freely sup-
ported. Comparatively speaking, very few samples
were unsold at the market's close. We had a
very short supply of Oats on sale. For all kinds
the sale was active, at is per quarter more money. The best
parcels cif Beans commanded an advarce of is per quarter,
other kinds being held at extreme figures. Of Pees the
sales were by no means large, at late rates. Flour steady,
and most of the millers were asking higher figures.

The arrivals of beasts, from our owngrazing districts,
fresh up this morning, were again extensive; but, generally
speaking, of middling quality. For the- primest Scots, &c.,
the demand was steady, at fully last week's quotations' viz.
from 3s 10d to 4s. per 81bs : but the middling and inferior
breeds were a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices.
Flom the northern counties, we received about 1,600 short-

horns; from the eastern districts, 300 Scots, home-breds and
short-horns; from the western and midland counties, 500
Herefords, Devons, runts, &c. ; from other parts of F.rgland,
500 of various breeds ; from Scotland,. 90 Scots ; and, from
Ireland, 100 Beasts. The numbers elf Sheep were but mode-
rate. The best half-breds sold steadily. With other breeds,
the trade was inactive. In prices, we can notice no altera-
tion. For Calves, the numbers of which were by no means
large, we had a slow sale, at Friday's currencies. Pigs were
in good request, and prices were well supported.

For the time of year the arrivals of slaughtered Meat up

state, at barely previous quotations. Mutton, Veal, and
Pork are in short supply and ready demand, at very full

RANELAGH SUSPENSION-BRIDGE
. A Company has be-n brought forward fur the construc-
tion of a brAge- acres', the Thome.,,, from a paint between
Chelsa HoSpital and the Ciisvcci,or Canal, to the Surrey
shore near the Red House, at Battersea. The necessity of
such a structure., as it public work, is now very generally
admitted, d the distance between Vauxhall and Batter-
sea bridges is very great, and includes an immense mass of
buildings and a large population. The Commissioners of
Metropolitan Improvements, indeed, in their plans accom-
panying their report to the House of Commons, on proposed
improvements in this district, have laid down roads, appa-
rently with the express view of leading to a communication
with the Surrey side of the river, at the point.proposed by
the promoters of the Ranelagh Bridge.
The proposed bridge is intended to be upon the suspension
principle. Instead of the old plan of erecting two piers in
the waterway, supporting a centre • chain of great span,
there will be only one pier in the river, midway between the
two shores. and a great saving will consequently be effected
in pile driving, masonry, &c.; whilst •th.e two chains will
not be of any Considerable length, and consequently, as the
strain will be lees, they may either Le made to .bear a greater
weight, or they may .he safely constructed with a smaller
quamity of iron than Tinder the old system. The arrange-
ment of the structure, although very simple and obvious, is,
we believe, entirely novel, and is worthy of the rising repu-
tation of the engineer, Mr. Bird. The expenses for ap-
proaches will be
.very trifling. On the Middlesex side there
is very little to be done, and such property at it will be
necessary to purchase •on either side of the river is vacant,
and of comparatively little value, and consequently, the item
of compensations, usually so large .in concerns of this nature,
cannot in any event amount to any considerable sum,
especially as all the parties are favourable to the undertaking,
on account of the great increase which it will create in the
value of all property in the locality.
The capital proposed is 90,000/. uhich is sufficient to pro-
, vide amply for the whole of the works to be executed and
for every necessary expense, particularly as there is no pros-
pect of any Parliamentary opposition. To a very. considerable-.
population it will afford peculiar conveniences, and look-
ing at the immense district for which it will provide
increased accommodation, we have no doubt the concern will
yield very ample returns on the capital engaged in it. Ac-
cording to the best calculations, based upon the returns of
the neighbouring bridges, the tolls will not be less
,than
B,OOOL, being about nine per cent. upon the proposed capital,
part of which may very probably not be required. The tolls
will be so much clear profit, as the out-goings after the com-
pletion of the bridge will be very smell, and will be met by
the dues arising from a steam-boat pier in the centre of the
river, which forms part of the project. On the development
of the.trallic under the cheap toll system, the produce will
probably amount to a much larger sum.
It is a most important advantage for the scheme that it has
the approval and support, not only of the owners of property
affected, but also of the Lords Commissioners of Chelsea
Hospital, and in consequence of the safe passage of the Com-
pany's Bill through Parliament may be looked forward to as
certain. In conclusion, we must observe, that whilst the
works will be constructed on perfectly sate and substantial
princip!es, the capital is very small in proportion to the pro-
bable dividends to be derived from the undertaking, and we
can confidently recommend it to such of our readers as may
be looking out for a solid, remunerative, and permanent in-
vestment. —Railway Times.

.s FORTIN G 'INTELLIGENCE.
(Fuom cant CORRESPONDENT .
The fret cf tie. October Meetingscim hardly be said to be
an imprm.cmf':-.t on its p; eticeessoi a, although one or two of
the races .;et down to be run in it were prtiductive of great
speculation a,:l exciting interest. The fields in most in-
etances were abort, owing to the superior attractians of the
programme for next week. The good effects of Lord George's
taking office were visible by the introduction ofthe telegraph
and the addition of the jockeys' names is the list. Several
other improvements of a minor nature were carried into
effect; and If the two stands are erected, which are Conternp,
lated, a new era in Newmarketbistory may be said to have
taken place from the date of his Lordship's stewardship.
Scarcely any of the Goodwood horSes were fit; and it is to
be hoped that the lot they send for the Cesarewitch will be a
little more prepared, or their backers' chances will be hopeless.
On Wednesnday the Old Trial Stakes actually produced a
race, and Oakley put the valuable sum of twenty sovereigns
into the pocket of his noble owner with the greatest ease.
We then had -the brat of the Great Two Year-old Stakes
of the season, viz. the Hopeful, for which only three animals
were foUnd at their post, and although they bet as little as
9 to cagainst Cuckoo, she was beaten in a canter, by a mare
that has been running all over the count ry and that was not
trusted even with a Ever. The 1-„rtneral impression on the
heath was, that she was amiss, and I am inclined to coincide
in the opinion.
Next cline the race of the meeting, the Grand Duke
Michael, and the interest it excited was as great' as ever.
lhe old admirers of Idas still stuck to him with confidence,
and his enemies were equally active iu their operations
against him. The race was entirely a match between the
Turquoise colt and the favourite, ho, to the diSmay of his
backers, was beaten on the post by a head. The public ought
IT this time to be acoainted that a gamer animal than Lord
Lonsdale's colt never st enped upon Newmaik,-t-heath.
In the Iluckenham Stakes, which followed, Colonel Peel
pulled out Samphire instead of Queen Anne, and the altera-
tion did not impair his luck, as she wen bya bead. tier
success, however, is not to be attributed to much- to lier:elf
as to Mr. Wieford having foolishly put .up Alfred Day, in-
stead of old Sam, who would have been able to have made a
better finish with Nat than his young relative.
• In the match which concluded this day's sport the favourite
just won, and that was all. The Gallant Memberfor West-
minster's talent in match making was, however, not dis-
graced by the result.
In the evening a little business was done on the Cesare-
witch, Wee Pet being moat in demand.
On Wednesday we were gratified-and surprised by a dead
heat for the sweepstakes, which actually gave us three races
for the day. _ _

In the fit. Leger the Turquoise colt again followed up his
success of the day before, and beat the winner of the Oaks,
with 5t04 on her, by five length!. As she wag. only taken
out of the van ten minutes before the race her defeat did not
surprise me. _

it is worthy of remark, that ouf of the immense number
of 'fuses now at Newmarket eight only came out to-day.
On Thursday we had a capital day's sport, and every-
body was satisfied. The Town Plate was Avon by Longitude,
from two very middling animals, and her stable companion,
Green Pea, by Nat's fine riding, just contrived to secure the.
Rutland kn. his noble owner. thought Buttress was much
improved since I saw her last.

The Sweepstakes of 5 sovs , for two years old, brought three
to the post; and as the sum they contended for was so
large, and the spirit with which they contested it was so
remarkable, I shall put down their names here. The trio
were Lord Albemarle's Nell Cook, Lord George Bentinck's
Astern, and Mr. Bloss's Zarah. The race was won by a
heal ; and after the expenses of entries and jockey, put into
the pocket of Lord Albemarle jive- golden sovereigns. Who
will, after this, deny to those noblemen the credit of being
lo%lenrsthoef racing?s. Stakes, Idas, with Glb extra, flniched two
lengths in advance of three others, whom, if he had not
beaten, he:ought to have been boiled. Many think he won
by making a waiting race of it, but
.I am. of opinion he
could have won any how.
The match between Collingwood and Captain Placebos
was won somewhat more easily than the one on Tuesday.
The latter was, as usual, the favourite.
The Queen's Plate, the last on the list, was won by the
Bo trtling-school Miss, from Event, Longitude, and Prairie.
The ring naturally patronised the Goodwood mare, and were
much surprised at seeing the. Miss winning over a course
deemed 'much too long fur her.
The second October Meeting takes place on Monday, and
as the stables are full, there is., every probability of a good
meeting. On the first day, four sweepstakes are in the list,
and a post match between Lord Glasgow and the Duke of
Bedford, which, I think, will be won by the latter, with
Prologue;, and also a post match between Lord Exeter and
Lord Chesterfield which will end, in my opinion, in favour of
Lord Exeter; with his Woodpigeon, the conqueror of Idas at
Ascot. Five other matches are set down, and will most
likely be run, so that the appetite of the most racing gourmand
will be gratified.
The first is between Ides and the Liverpool colt, Bst 21b
each, and will be won by the former, if there is any faith in

public running.
The next is between Black Cat and the Beiram filly, Rst
71b, T.Y:C., in which,l think, Mr. Clarke via give to the for-
..

mer. The one that follows is -a most .interesting one—it is
between St. Lawrence, 9st llb, against Minotaur, Bst
and the latter, I imagine, will be found the best of the two.
The one that follows is fur the heavy stake of 50C1., and
between Alarm and Old England. As "Alarm 'has not run
since his accident at Epsom, his re appearance will be looked
forward to with some interest. That he can give Old England
slbs and beat him I much doubt, and shall, therefore, give
my preference to the Stockbridge nag.
In the one that concludes the day's- sport, and which is
between Captain Phcebus and Duc.an-Durras, or Duck and
Green. pea.,, as he is.designated, I lean to the former.
On Tuesday the sport will commence with the Cesarewitch
,Stake, which, since its establishment has completely an-
swered the expectations of its founder. .It has always been
the moat interesting race ran at iCewmarketi may be almost
compared to the Derby, from the field-that it brings out,
and the, money invested upon it. Last year the winner o 1

Le Leger to the surprise of 'many of stimvoldest _Newmarket

stagers, pulled thri,ugli by half a length, Lightning, the
great pot of the Northern division, being beaten by him
that distance.

In accordance with my usual custom, I N‘ ill now take to
pieces the doings of those horses whose owners have de-
clared themselves satisfied with the handicapper's allotment
The list of acceptances is headed by Mr. Surfien's Gorham-
imry, 5 yrs, who is ivsigned to carry Bst 121 b, but which
think he will not d', as he can hardly be said to have re-
covered from his recent break down, and is now ou sale in
Scotland. Should he go, however; I think, like the two
next animals, Discord, Bst 91b, and Truebov, Bst 91b, he will
find the weight too muoh for him. 1-lad Discord's running
lately been on a par with his doings in the early part of the
season at Northampton, his chance would have been a
better one.

Wolverhampton, where, with 7st 51b, he was not even
placed for the Wolverhampton Stakes. His spring victorie
are to be attributed to the ground on Which he was trained,
stie'r,
being so very favourable to horses in that season Of the year,
Intrepid is still supported with son e degree of confidence by
his former friends,. bu• I cannot hear of him as a winner.
The next that comes under my eye. is the lioness of the
summer, Miss Ells, whose doings are fresh in everybody's
mind; suffice it to say, that, with sst 71b; she won the Good-
wood Stakes, from afield of tvirtntvttwo, and the following
day, carrying 7st, the Cup, beating eleven others, being
the only three years old, with the exception of Glencoe, that
ever won that valuable prize.
'For the Stewards' Cup, the day after, although of course much
fatigued by her severe we rk the two days previously, she yet
continued to cut a good figure. She was reserved for the Great
Yorkshire Stakes at York, for which race she was beaten by
four lengths by Miss Sarah. Garrie as she is, I do not thinkit
possible, with Ist 71b, that she can be looked upon as a likely
winner. Vol-au-Vent is entitled to notice from having won
the Newmarket Handicap, with Est 41b, from 1-am-not.:Aware
and a small field; but as that was in the ,Craven Meeting,
and the distance a mile shorter than the one on which this,
will be run, I cannot say
.much in- favour of his' chance.
There was a good deal of noise made about him fur the Great
Yorkshire handicap for which he• was drawn. lie cut up
badly too at Ascot. Of Pouissin, I shall merely observe he
is a very moderate plater. Teetotaller has some running
about him, for lie won the Ascot Stakes from Iliona and Ik
good field, but the company: he has been running in lately
has been so wretched that his success does him no very great
credit. His weight, 7st Mb, will not stop him. Pantasa, I
imagine, will not go. Mr. Clifton's Paintbrush, from the
mariner in which she has been backed, is entitled to
some notice. She is by Jereed, and distinguished her-
self greatly at Wolverhampton . by carrying off the
Patsbull Handicap fromGeneralNott, sst; Coranna, Bat i2ib ;
Queen of the Gipsies, Bst 41b; and Philip, 7kt 10114 her own
weight being sst 31b; and on the following day, with fist. 41b,
she won the Holyoake Stakes, beating Arthur, sst; Hooton,
Ist 1 llb ; Lightning, 7st 91b ; Roderick, isi Mb ; Nix-my-
Dolly, 7st; and Jack Sheppard, 6st 121 b. Good as these
doings are, I do not imagine shecan give the weight to this,
or Wte Pet. The chances of Hope, Annandale, Lady 'Mi-
dair, Alice, metal, Plantagenet, Keslieng, Longitude, Laird
o'Cockpcn, Ruff, and The Cook, I look upon as quite out.
The extra weight upon My Mary will stop her, and I think
the winner will turn out to be Mr. Etwall's /Egis„ My rea-
sons for preferring her are, that she has shown' herself ca-
pable of getting a long distance, is possessed of great
' speed, is trained on the spot, and ,is supported by
a party whore judgment is rarely miAplazed. As I
consider The Baron, though an Irish horse, no Foig-
a-ballagb, I fancy his chance of winning most remote.
Boarding-school. Miss, in spite of her winning the Queen's
Plate last week, will be tired long before the race is over,
iudging fiom her place in the Goodwood Stakes, in which,
with 6st 31b, she was nowhere, and in the Brighton Stakes,
for which she was likewise beaten by Pineapple and Jenny
Wren. The last-named mare I consider to have the next
best chance in the race to iEgis, and I ground my belief in
her mei its from her running at Brighton, and Lichfield. 'Wee
Pet's figure in the Leamington Stakes was very creditable to
her, but then it mnst be borne in mind that Roderick and
Rochester had been a good deal knocked about previously.
Had Pergularia not been so shamefully beaten at Leicester I
should have thought well of his chance. Nottingham is well
in, and sure to he forward. In conclusion, I fully anticipate
to see Agis or Jenny Wren the winner of this great handicap.
Wee l'et, Nottingham, And Red Deer will not Le f ar from
these lots.
After the excitement of the above great race is over, we
have the Royal Stakes of 200 sow:, 4 subs, which look '
likely to be reduced to a math between the Dukes of Bed
ford and Portland, and won by the former nobleman.
Next comes the second of the Two Year-old Stakes,
which are wont some times to bring out a Derby favourite.
I expect to see at the post Princess Alice, Free Lance, Green
Pea, Mecca colt, Collingwd, Cuckoo, Ilolloway, Cambaules,
Deerchase, Sting, and W. itsend. Of these, tit'ng's doings
are immeasurably superior to any cf the rest, and if lie go.ai
I do not see how he can well lose; but everything depends
upon a good start in a short scramble like this, and as
Princess Alice is very qinck on ber legs, I am of opinion her
chance is the next best to Lord Edward Russell's colt. Col-
lingwood's running in the last meeting must have damaged
his prospects for this race. I have heard a good deal of
Holloway, who is said to be afiier, rosin noes verrons. I hope

after witilessingAhe evil results of putting Alfred Day upon
Witerid in the Buckenharn, that old Sam will be allowed to
steer her in nil!, and then her backers may look to her being
handy at the
Cowl pa s, I believe, in his match with Vaudeville.
In the *f•!or• matches which follow; I ...,hould take Poor
Soldier in preference to Heanp, Sorella to Cataract, The
Cob to Oakley (as Le has very great speed for a mile, as was
displayed in Lis race fur the Hunt Cup at Ascot, and in his
match with the Cure), and Sir Frances to Britannia.
On Wednesday.there is only a Sweepstakes of 200 sous.
between Comrade, Vaudeville, and Prolouge, and a match
between Celia and Espoir set down; but the list will, no
doubt, be considerably increased before the day.' The Sweep-
stakes look best for Vaudeville, and in the match I prefer
Garrvowen. •

On Thursday, in the Bretley, I think the Black Cat and
Ennui will be found the best of the field. Lord Glasgow's
colt, 1 imagine, will be beaten in each of hismatches,certainly
in that one between him and the Cobweb colt.

On Friday most of the performers in the Cleanvell will re-
appear when the bell is rung fur the Prendergast, but as the
running in the former will materially operate in the result of
this race, I 'shall merely observe that as far as my judgment
goes, Lord George's er Lord Chesterfield's . is most likely to
own the winner c f the Prendergast.
Five matches tali the COffee-Rooth Stakes concludes the
week's sport. In the first, between Mis; Elis and Ciniv:lli,
I like the cornier Lest. Iu the second, between Prolouge and
i)eodara, I recemmend my friends to stand on the former.
The third, between My Mary and IT:andel:lle, should Le won
by the former. Ido net think in the next, which is between
Comrr.de and The Slane colt, that the latter has a chance;
nine in the last, between old Oakley and Hartshoin, would I
stand on the former.
