to 10 agst Barbarian. Lord Exeter declared to win with
Stockwell. There was' an excellent start, Little Harry
taking a slight lead of Stockwell and Harbinger and Hob-
bie Noble fourth. After running about a mile King Pepin
showed in front, but only for a few strides;Little Harry
resuming his lead. In coming round the turn Barbarian
had been rapidly drawing towards the front, and, on Lit-
tle Harry's retirement, he took a lead of two clear lengths
on the upper side of the course, Daniel O'Rourke lying
off some four or five lengths on his left • on the lower side
were Chief Baron Nicholson and Hobbie Noble, between
whom a punishing struggle commenced inside the dis-
tance, their jockeys appearing to be totally unconscious
that anything else was left in the race. Meanwhile Bar-
barian went on with a strong lead into the bottom, but
tired in rising the hill, stopped every stride to Daniel
O'Rourke, was caught a few strides from the chair, and
beaten by a neck. The contest between the couple on
the lower side was continued to the end, and terminated
in favour of the Chief Baron by a head, the difference be-
tween him and Barbarian being about a length. Value
of the stakes, £5.050.

Corybantes, winner of the two-year-old race at Har-
penden, has been sold to Mr. E. R. Clark.
Lord Clifden has purchased Pelion, brother to Poodle,
for £lOOO.

Mr. Dorrien has refused 2000 guineas for Chief Baron
Nicholson since he ran for the Derby.
Orestes, the winner of the Woodcote Stakes, at Epsom,
on Tuesday last, is by Orlando, dam by Bay Middleton,
was bred by Mr. W. E. Hobson, of Kettleby Thorpe,
near Brisg, Lincolnshire ; she was a short time since sold
to Mr. Fitz Oldaker, who has since purchased the dam,
with a colt foal, by Surplice. Mr. Hobson bred the dam
and other good horses. Orestos has since been sold to
Baron Rothschild, and will go into John Scott's stable.
£lO,OOO to £lOO was laid against him winning this race
and the next Derby.
Bumby was fined £2, at Epsom, last week, for attempt-
ing to start without orders.
W. Sharpe rode Robbie Noble instead of Geo. White-
house, who, having backed the horse for a large amount,
was not a little mortified at being " taken off," without
any apparent reason, at the last moment. He, however,
found another mount on Elcot, who, if he had been good
enough to win, would have been a little consolation to
George for the unfair manner in which lie has been used.
A. lady, who was in the refreshment room of Epsom
Grand Stand, on hearing the name of the winner of the
Derby, was so elated at her success, that she gave a tre-
mendous shriek, and immediately fainted away ; and it
was some time before she could be restored to herself to
bear her success with equanimity.

Mr. Davis lost heavily on the Derby and Oaks, baying
laid long odds, to a large amount, against the winners of
both races being in John Scott's stable. He bet Mr.
Bignell, a " list keeper," in London, on the day of the
race, £15,000 to £3OO against Daniel O'Rourke. He
also bet £50,000 against Little Harry, and said he would
have doubled the amount. He would have won £BO,OOO
by Barbarian, and £50,000 by Chief Baron Nicholson.
Mr. Davis generally has the ill luck to run second for
great races. Captain Scott, one of the most fortunate
men on the turf, who did not make a bet until the horses
were brought out for saddling, won £5,000. The ring,
with the exception of Mr. Davis, has escaped tolerably
well ; and a few, including Mr. Morris and Mr. Steb-
binge, are goad winners. Had Barbarian or Chief Baron
Nicholson won, the professionals, almost to a man, would

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—TIIS American advices by the Niagara,
showing an advance in cotton at New York and New Orleans,
have encouraged the disposition which exists on this side to
speculate in the raw material. The week's transactions in
Liverpool have been extensive, and the tendency of prices has
been upwards. The effect produced upon our market by these
movements is a slight increase of firms in yarns and goods at
large. Just before the Niagara arrived, a disposition to specu-
late in 20's reeled water, of German qualities, had been par-
tially evinced; and this, under the influence of the intelligence
alluded to, has led to a few transactions of considerable amount.
For China, also, operations of fair extent have taken place in
16's to 24'swater. These spinnings are therefore rather dearer•
The home manufacturers hesitate to pay the prices required
for warps and weft. This is particular), the case with the
makers of domestics; and the difficulty of selling at full rates,
experienced by spinners in this department, induces such as
are in want of orders to abate a fraction of their previous de-
mands. On the whole, however, the market is firm, though
inanimate, and without any general demand. In warps the
higher numbers best maintain their value. There is rather
more inclination for business in domestics on the part of the
home dealers; but the makers find it difficult to get on at the
advance required, though they will not sell without it.
Roc riDALE.—Wt have had little change in the flannel mar-
ket either in price or the amount of business transacted. The
price of wool has been fully maintained, and its present ten-
dency is upward.
LEEDS.—More than the usual amount of pu chases of cloth
were effected in the Cloth Halls on Saturday, and an average
amount on Tuesday. The advance in the price of 11'9°1 has
given a little impetus to the trade by inducing merchants to
speculate; and hence more animation than usual has been ex-
hibited amongst both manufacturers and merchants. Some
slight advance in the prices of cloths has been realised, but
scarcely equal to that obtained for the raw material.
andduerra buy-
Norrixon.km.—There is a general complaint again this
week amongst the lace manufacturers of the want of business,
the only goods that meet a regular sale being plain goods,

Mechlin net and black laces, but the price of the latter is so
reduced as to leave no profit for tire machine owner, conse-
quently some are stopping their machinery or stinting their

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,

FRIDAY, MAY 28.

The market was quiet on Saturday and Monday, and some
slight advantage was obtained by the buyer. The accounts
received on Tuesday, per Niagara, of still advancing markets
in America, gave a fresh impulse to speculation, and in the
last three days a large business has been done ; any decline bas
been fully recovered, and the qualities of middling American
and upwards may be quoted id above last week. Surat scarce,
and rather dearer. Brazil in good request, and advanced id
per lb. Egyptian commands full prices. Limited supply of
common Sea Islands, and an advance of id to Id has been paid ;
better qualities also id higher. Speculators have taken 29,510
American, 630 Pernam, 610 Egyptian, and 1040 Surat, and there
are reported for export, 13,490 American, 1050 Pernam, 60
Bahia, 20 Maranham, 40 Egyptian, 1680 Surat, and 60 Madras.
