An immense number of horses have arrived in the

the heath in capital order, a good meeting is anticipated.

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 Nu-rsery 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,

of horses starting at Newmarket for many many
years), won by Iliona, Est 111 b, the Young-Un,
6st 131 b, running second. This present year there
are thirty-one subscribers, and how many will start?
I say eighteen. To begin with the favourites.
lissima, be it remembered, was beat Bel
Tripoli, giving four stone. a head at Bath by
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 131b.' 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 op-
ponents. Clarion, same age, same weight, same
jockey, won : he has to run a match with Garryowen
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
',he shall, a la Charles, ,
Charles XII. at Goodwood
win both the match and great stake. Heslington won
in a carter at Newcastle, carrying Tat. 41b.: he has
been very much amiss since : well and fit, I would
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 goes to prove he Cannot get any farther.
While Portrait keeps his place, no opinion of
burini is called for. Rhodanthe has nTam-
lieve, won a race in her life : a never,bad I be-
Lord Kelburne's colt (I wish his L mare.

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

FUNERAL of the LATE MARQ,IIIS
WELLESLEY.

Eton College, 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 ce-
mony was postponed for nearly an hour.
'ln the course of the morning the following distin-
guished connexions of the deceased arrived at the

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, whp 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 had borne himself with great fortliul
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
ceremont,was over.
The following trait in the character of the late
Marquis Wellesley cannot fail to interest our
readers :7—About three years since a favourite willow-
tree of the deceased Peer was about to be cut down
upon the grounds of the College, in order tint, at
that time, certain extensive improvements might be
carried into effect. There were certain early associa-
tions connected with this willow, which had alweys
rendered it an object of interest and regard to the
Noble been Marquis, ever since his boyish days at the
College. The llarquis had no sooner tea
