THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1853.

inside the wall of Dunsandle demesne, about six miles
from Loughrea, with her throat cut from ear to ear. It
would seem that on the preceding evening she was sent
by her master with a sum of 5.,5 to Loughrea, to transact
some business for him. A servant man named John
Hurley observed her receiving the money, and he was
afterwards seen some 20 or 30 yards from where the deed
was committed in her company. As the money was
rifled from her person, and as he has since absconded, it
is to be supposed he perpetrated the horrible crime for
the sake of obtaining the money. Descriptions of his
person have been forwarded to all the police stations
throughout the country."
MR. DARGAN.—The compliment of a baronetcy has
been (to the credit of the Government) offered to Mr.
Dargan, which that gentleman has declined to accept.

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA, from the Clyde, is almost
likely to receive a check from the publication of a docu-
ment from certain passengers on board the ship Aberfoyle,
recently arrived out from Glasgow. The signatures
amount to 212, and the complaint states that the arrange-
ments were of a most defective character. It is asserted,
for instance, that there was only one water-closet on board
for the use of both sexes !

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Prince Leopold, for obvious reasons, is not worth a rap,
unless his Chester running was sham.
Barbatus, who I said would hit the mark of the Two Thousand,
should the favourite miss it, is, I am told, some pounds a
better horse now: extend this course a mile, and I would not
be against this horse on any account ; and, as it is, he will beat
more than will beat him.
Cheddar is a delicate horse, and though I had reason, a short
time back, to speak in his favour, I see also now that I have
reason to retract; the late Master of the Horse has a great
interest in him, if not his bona fide owner.
The Mayor of Hull will merely run for the benefit of his
rider, and to show the colours of the Whig Baron.
Orestes and Spread Eagle I shall couple together, being stable
companions. Within the past fortnight I have heard what's
up—much to the annoyance of the Baron, who is as likely to go
up to the Lower House (which, so long as we have a House of
Ltrds, shall never be) to-morrow as either of these horses
winning the Derby. It was all bosh about the trial ; but Orestes
is better than the "ice fuguri," still not worth even backing for
a place.
Ninnyhammer has the advantage of being well trained, it's
true, but his performance and position in the market are not of
a nature to warrant any dependence being placed upon his
chance.
Orinoco is placed safe by even Barbatus; nevertheless, his
Chester performance was base, but no criterion.

Hataplan is a " dark" horse (so they say); if he were a light
one, he would, methinks, be no more dangerous than he is now.
However, to start these imposters is doing a good turn to the
jockey, for which reason I call all such owners " tool ish liberals."
War-Whoop I think to be Mr. Payne's rather than Speed the
Plough. However, neither one nor the other would have the
least chance; the former may start,but it's not yet decidedupon
West Australian, a gigantic name, certainly, and a horse of
no mean pretensions, next comes to be touched ; I shall do so
lightly. Of Scott I know one or two "things"—which are,
first, which he would rather win with; and, secondly, which he
says will win. Enough is as good as a feast, so a truce with the
subject, only I feel bound to add that I still hold to my former
assertion, that they have not been put together.
Honeywood's position in the market has been most satisfac-
tory, and if that be all to guide us—preserve us ! Well, it is.
What further proof have we of his merits? The fact is, I won't
have him at any price.
Cineas would surprise many, indeed (including myself),
were he to prove the victor. He comes out of as good a l)erby
stable as his predecessor, and I infinitely prefer him to Honey-
wood, and rather anticipate seeing him forward.
Ethelbert's line has been drawn by Jerry Kent, and has
proved to possess no chance. The latter is one of the very best
outsiders in the race, and may probably be placed, say fourth.
Peggy is the only female remaining, but Scott places her
chance as hors de combat, and for sundry other reasons I never
have nor can I entertain her.

13rocket is a nag after my own heart, of whom let it suffice to
say that my opinion is, he ought to be not far behind the winner.
Talfourd is no Derby horse ; besides, he is placed safe, and if
even he were not, I would not have im, as his unremitting
running of late has had its prejudicial effects.
Mr. Sykes will make another Miss (ive) for his worthy owner.
Fionn MaCoull, said to be a barbarian, so the Paddies say.
We shall see.

Beverlac comes with Talfourd, but, as his inferior, I refrain
from commenting upon his chance.
With respect to predictions, I have always deemed it a satis-
faction, when, after having prematurely touched upon any
horse for an event of this kind,—as in this case, when 1 some
time back first introduced Umbriel to the notice of my readers,
then a perfect outsider, and who, having continued in my good
hooks, has thus warranted in me no change,—to be able con-
scientiously to ratify all prefatory remarks respecting that
horse—a pretty decided comprobation, I think, that such were
carefully considered; but, to come more to the point, I would
ask, What man, sir, is more worthy of carrying off the Riband
than him who forms part of the posterity of the institutor of
the race—the most important in the world—an honour that the
late much-lamented son of the Duke of Portland (says Disraeli)
sought, but never could achieve—an honour, too, which I should
like to see gained by the head of my list, and other good and
truly English noblemen, patrons of the turf.
While all the sporting writers, whose penning I have as yet
seen, speak in high terms of Umbriers sterling qualities as a
Derby horse, and wbo told their readers "they must not for
the world be against him," none venture to predict him the
actual winner. I have prepared my readers for the best or
worst, as it may prove before, by saying that this debut finale
is but a ratification of all my former ones, but have, of course,
never gone so far as to say that to-morrow's fiat will be
U M 1.1• R I L
first. Let us hope it may be, and so settle, as well as the on
dit that £30,000 will be won by his noble owner, "with the
honour and stake to boot," the fact of the Liverpool Standard
again being signal, as also single (" y") successful. All cock-
boats will have alike to bear up to the night-house before they
can attain the second honours from it (my cockboat PHA.nos.)
THE oAxs.—After the Derby bustle is over, people will be
considering upon what to place their confidence for the follow-
ing day's bout. Let me tell my readers that they must invest
upon

LEKDS.—The markets during the week, as is usual at Whit-
suntide, have not been frequented by many buyers; but the
manufacturers are all employed, and there is no accumulation
of stock going on—at least if there be any, it is not to any large
amount.

BRADFORD.—WOOI is held for prices that cannot be afforded
by the consumers, and the sales continue limited. Yarns.--
There is nothing new in this department either as regards
demand or prices. Pieces.—The general observance of the
holidays has caused a very limited supply of goods to be made.
The high prices of all kinds of material to make cloth is per-
plexing to the manufacturers, who find it difficult to cover cost.

thrown overboard, and arrived here 2d April. Four of the

veyed to Buenos Ayres, anti have confessed that the master,
