COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
It is said that the duty paid on corn taken from warehouse
on the 13th and 14th inst. was about £120,000.
Late in the afternoon of yesterday the British funds be-
came heavy, and closed at 93% sellers for Money, and 93%
4 for the Account. This decline was attributed to a report
that secret orders were sent to our fleet in the Mediterranean
to act in conjunction with the French fleet against the Rus-
sians. This morning the above Tenon is entirely disbelieved.
Consuls may be quoted at 93% g Money, and 93 % 9-1 for
the Account. Exchequer Bills, i 0 72 ; India Bonds, 7072;

In the early part of the morning the British Market was
heavy, and Consols receded from 93% 91 to 933; for the Ac-
count We have every reason to believe that this reeedin,,
is not owing to any unfavourable intelligence being received,
but merely arising from reports respecting Russia, which are
not credited by well-inf,rined persons.
Consols may he quoted at present at 93% for Account, and
93% for Money. A good denl of business has been done.

'Tuesday Evening.,

By the advices from llatnhnrgh the price of gold is 4.361
per mark, which, at the English Mint Price of £3 17s. told.
the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10
and the exchange at Hamhurgh on London-at short being
13 9, it follows that go;d is 0.81 per cent. dearer at Ham-
burgh than in London.
Tne premium on gold at Paris is 74 per mille, which, at
the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. the ounce for stan-
dard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 331,-; and the exchange
at Pari?on London at short being 25 44 it follows that gold
is 0.36 per cent. lower in Paris than in Londoli.
The course of Exchange at New York on London is 1091
per cent., and the par of exchange between England' and
America being 109.23-49 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is .07 per cent. against England

Betting.-5 to 4 against Flighty (taken,;) 4to 1 against
Alexandria; 5 to 1 against Zoroaster; and 5 to 1 against
Armilla. A little bet was laid against Eliza at sto 1, but
she was not regularly in the betting.
After two false starts the Flighty colt went away with the
lead, followed by Eliza, the others lying well up, with the ex-
ception of the Langar colt awl Armilla, who lost a good deal
of ground at starting, and never recovered it. After passing
the distance, Zoroaster headed Flighty, and was immediately
after challenged by Eliza, who was in front at the Grand
Stand. She kept the advantage to the end, and after a
splendid race won by half a neck. Item and Flighty seve-
rally claim to have been third, and A lexandrina and La Sage
Femme were so level with them, and all four so near the se-
cond, that we were quite unable to say which is entitled to
the honour.

Lord Chesterfield's b c Don John, by Tramp or Waver-

Colonel Peel's br c lon, by Cain (Davis) 2
The following were not placed :—Duke of Cleveland's b c
Alzira, by Voltaire (J. Day); Mr. Coinbe's ch c Cobham.
by The Colonel' (Robinson) ; Mr. Parkins's br c Lanercost,
by Liverpool (H. Edwards) ; Mr. Fairlie's ch e The Hydra,
by Sir Hercules (Chapple); Mr. Thornhill's ch c Saintfoin,
by St. Patrick (Conolly).
The betting, from the tune our account of Monday's races
was forwarded up to the close, underwent several changes.
Up to 12 o'clock that night, lon and Don John were nearly
head and head, the Newmarket horse having the call; £6OO
or £703, however, laid out upon the Don just at the finish,
proved that the difference betwixt them was very slight.
Lanercost, Alzira, and Saintfoin remained pretty steady in
their places, but Cobham declined two or three points. In
the morning [on was still first favourite at 7 to 4, Don John
standing at 2 to 1, Lanercost at 9 to 2, with a strong party,
and the others as before. After the first race Don John and
lon changed positions, Cobham went back to 20 and "came
again," and Saintfoin sprung several points. The last odds
before starting were 7 to 4 against Don John, 9 to 4 against
lon, 9' to 2 against Lanercost, (taken,) 9 to 1 against Saint-
foin, 15 to 1 against Cobham, 20 to 1 against Alzira, and 33
to 1 against The Hydra. In the many years' experience we
have had of the St. Legers, we have never seen it won in
such an off-hand style, or with such decided proofs of supe-
riority. Precisely at a quarter before 5 the word was given,
and lon went away in float, with Saintfoin at his heels, but
before they had gone 100 yards Don John ran by them, and
took up the running, with a lead of two or three lengths, lon
lying next him, Lanercost third, Saintfoin fourth, Cobhatn
fifth, Alzira sixth, and The Hydra last. With the first three
the positions were unchanged to the finish. Thu John con-
tinuing the lead at a good pace, Ind. winning in the
....anercost
com-
monest canter imaginable by four or five lengths, T.
coming in a long way behind lon. A trilling movement
took place amongst the others after passing the Red-house;
Cobham went nearer in front, and, without the slightest
prospect of winning, looked as if he could beat Lanercost;
unfortunately, however, he broke down just below the dis-
tance. The-Hydra gaine.l ground every stli !e after turning
the course, and ran in fourth, Alzira and Satutfoin following
him past the chair nearly abreast. Lord Chesterfield and his
friends have won a good stake, but from the lowness of the
odds were unable to make it a great one. From the small
amount of the few books made on the race the settling Fo-
mites to be easy.
