The Prendergast.—Murat, the Marinella colt, Caen,
the Vulture colt, Napier, Testy, Spiteful, and Ophelia
filly, are here ; Caen, we believe, does not start.

Eringo v. Celia, Oakley v. Camelino, Solomon v. Magog

Two Handicap Stakes also appear in this day's list.
The appointments in full appeared in this paper a short
titne back.

An immense number of horses have arrived in the
course of the last week, and as the weather is fine and
the heath in capital order, a good meeting is anticipated.
Mr. Greville's Canadian died on Thursday last of in-
flammation of the lungs.
BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.
CESAREWITCH STAKES.-8 to 1 agst Belissima (taken),
8 to 1 agst Heslington (taken), 11 to 2 agst Dawson's
lot, 10 to 1 agst Portrait, 11 to 1 agst Blue Bonnet, 12 to
1 agst Arcanus, 12 to 1 agst Ralph.
DEnny.-11 to 1 on the field, 20 to 1 agst any other.

Our last appearance but one this season is at New-
market on Monday, and as good looking a week's
diversions appears on paper as I would wish to see.
The list occasionally contains more than is doomed
to meet the eye, 'tis true, but I will promise the num-
ber of visitors en route twenty races in the five days,
at the very least.
The Nursery Plate, for two year olds, will be run
for on Monday, as well as four very interesting
matches. A good deal of money depends on one or
two of these. On Tuesday we have the Clearwell,
for which the following are on the spot :—Napier,
Testy (these two have never been beat), the Caster,
Murat (both winners), the Macremma filly (has
started three times and always been second), Wild
Duck c., Mopsy c., Anxiety, Guerdon c., and Horse
Chesnut ; the last ve have never started.
The Cesarewitch Stake was established in 1839 ;
there were then twenty-six subscribers • ten started,
and Cruiskeen, Est 61b, won, Middleton Maid, sst 101 b,
being second. In 1840 there were thirty-three sub-
scribers, nineteen started, Clarion, carrying Bst 41b,
won ; Bloomsbury, four years old, carrying 93t, being
second. In 1841 there were fifty subscribers, and
twenty-seven started (this being the greatest number
of horses starting at Newmarket for many many
years), won by Iliona, 6st 111 b, the Young-Un
6st 131 b, running second. This present year.l startl there;
are thirty-one subscribers, and how m
I say eighteen. To begin with the favourites.anywill
Be,:
lissima, be it remembered, was beat a head at Bath by
Tripoli, giving four stone. She was beaten ten
lengths by Barbara for the Queen's Plate at New-
market. She beat Eleus, giving 261 b, A.F., betting
even on Eleus, 7 to 1 against the winner, carrying
7st 131 b. She was beat a long way in the Goodwood
Stakes. I could not be guilty of taking such odds as
they do take looking at the above performances.
Portrait started fourteen times last year; he won
every now and then, but was beat whenever he met a
race-horse. If you back him, it must be solely and
only because his new owner is a man of unquestion-
able ability, and one who rarely invests his money
badly. Florence has been backed a good deal : her
best, indeed her only good running, is the beating
Barbara for the Ditch In-Plate last October ; Bar-
bara, in the Cesarewitch last year, beat all the three
year olds a long way, and stays her course. The
running of Florence in the spring must be disre-
garded. Blue Bonnet, after paying forfeit in many
large stakes, is at last right, and wins the St. Leger.
Such an uncertain mare shall not run for my money.
Ralph is a better form of horse than most of his
Garrvovven
op-
ponents. Clarion, same age, same weight, same
jockey, won : he has to run a match with .
on Monday, T.Y.C. This is not his distance : but
it will clear his pipes, and he will be none the worse
if beat. Dr. Caius has a much more severe match,
A.F., receiving 71b of St. Francis, on the Monday
let him come to the post well and looking as did
Charles XII. at Goodwood ; he shall, a la Charles,
win both the match and great stake. Heslington wonin
acarter Newcastle, carrying 7st. 41b.: he has
been vei a
much
hNwmce : well and fit, I would
mea
not oppose him. The running in the Leamington
Stakes settles Una. Roscius does not like the dis-
tance ; he won the Audley End Stakes, one mile and
three quarters, in a canter, but all his running
since gPeosrtrth prove he cannot get any farther.

the Cesarewitch ,•`' if the Doctor be himself he wins :
the Doctor be anybody else, Ralph must be called in.
The Oatlands' Stake has never filled since the es-
tablishment of the Cesarewitch. We cannot expect
above two races on the Wednesday, -on which day
there will be a meeting of the Jockey Club. Nor
does there appear much sport for the following day.

Five matches already appear in the list for this the
last day; they will all come off but one ; my Cesare-

the end of the week.

There is generally a great deal of Derby betting
during this week. The number of *books is limited.
The ponderous yearling books have died a natural—
no, a hard death. Confidence is gradually being
restored, and if gentlemen will only be so good as to
confine their operations, that the market be not forced
as it has been these last two years, the ring will soon
return to a sound and healthy state, and levanters be
heard dm men that have been, but are no longer, and
never to be more. JUDEX.

FUNERAL of the LATE MARQUIS
WELLESLEY.
Eton Col'ege, Saturday Evening.
The funeral of this distinguished statesmen had
been arranged yesterday to have taken place this
morning at the early hour of ten o'clock ; but in con,
sequence of a notification having been received at the
College at a late hour last night, that some of the late
Marquis's illustrious relations could not reach Eton
until past that hour this morning, the mournful cere-
mony wa,s postponed for nearly an hour.
In the course of the morning the following distin-
guished connexions of the deceased arrived at the
Provost's Lodge, where they were received by the
Rev. Francis Hodgson, B.D. :—The Duhe of Wel-
lington, Lord Cowley, Ambassador to the Court of the
Tuileries the Hon. and Rev. Gerald Valerian Wel-
lesley, D.D. ; Lord Hatherton, the Marquis of Douro,
the Rev. Henry Wellesley, R. Wellesley, Esq., Chas.
Curling Smith, Esq., the Hon. Gerald tVellesley, &c.
The funeral procession left the Election Hall, and
proceeded through the chantry, entering the "quad-
rangle under the clock tower, and passed into the
chapel at the south-west entrance in the following
order :

The coffin, upon being taken into the choir, was set
in the centre aisle upon trussels. The whole of the
Etonians (between 600 and 700) had previously en-
tered the chapel, and taken their places, with the nu-
merous friends of the College authorities, who were
admitted by tickets, and by whom the chapel was
nearly filled.
During the ceremony, and especially at the grave,
the brothers of the deceased Marquis appeared to be
deeply affected. The feelings of the Duke of Wel-
lington, who •liad borne himself with great fortitude
during the- early portion of the solemn service, were
evidently much overcome towards the conclusion of
the ceremony.
Shortly after the conclusion of the ceremony the
whole of the illustrious members of the Wellesley fa-
mily, and the other mourners and attendants, left the
College for their respective residences in town, pro-
ceeding to Paddington by the Great Western Railway
from Slough.
During the whole of the morning all the shops near
the College, and the shutters of the private houses,
were closed, and remained so until after the funeral
ceremony was over.
The following trait in the character of the late
Marquis Wellesley cannot fail to interest our
readers :—About three years since a favourite willow-
tree of the deceased Peer was about to be cutd
at
upon the grounds of the College, in order that,.b be
that time, certain extensive improvements l migt
carried into effect. There were certairiear Lalways
associa-
tions connected with this whichwillow,nd h
rendered it an object of interheisst
boya
ishregard to the
days at the
Noble Marquis, ever since
College. The Marquis had no sooner been made ac •
quainted with the intention, than he wrote a letter; in
his usual elegant language, to the Rev_ . Dr. Hawtrey
(the head master) on the subject, enclosing the fol-
' low
1 SA ing lines :
