LVTELLIGENCE.

Manchester, Tuesday Evening.
On Friday evening we observed that further advances would
most probably fellow the revolution even then caused in the
Chester Cup speculations by the appearance of the weights.
This will be found to have been the case by a single glance at
the positions now held by various horses in the bettings. It will
not have escaped recollection that at this period of last January,
the topic was the favourable weight, to say the. least • of it, be-
stowed upon Sir J. Boswell's celebrated horse General Chasse,
• and the nice accuracy of the handicap as regarded the Marquis
of Westminster's Snyders, who received the coup de grace in
one short hour, being hurled from the leadership-to the extreme
fag end of the odds. If, twelve months ago, the noble owner of
Snyders deemed it correct to pay instantly on the appearance
of the handicap (and for the same reason to he found not ex-
tending his patronage to the Tradesmen's piece of Plateof May
next,) it will not astonish us if a little of the cream of the entry
should vanish on or before the first of February, and for the
very reason which caused Snyders to leave in the lurch his
numerous backers, at 9, 10, and 11 to 1. - Another fortnight
will, however, settle the question, how many of the first half-
dozen top weights accept or pay. Out of that lot, only one
week ago, five were backed, and three of them at 12 to 1, or
tinder. Now they will all be found in the rear rank, without a
solitary nibble, even at tempting odds. This revolution is, of
course. the effect of the handicap. the merits of which rest, in
the opinion of many gentlemen, in the closeness of the race.
Whaley's price is two points under our quotatuibonlishoinnzForifdat::
indeed, a little silver has been given on more occasions than
one for 10 to I—say 1(X) to 10. He has various friends willing
to support him, although their books were pretty well accommo.
dated at double the figure previous to the p
weights. Zobrab, Heron, Catherina, and Magician, have all
made a little jump forwards; anti, by the spirited manner in
which they have been noticed within the past three days, there
is little fear as to their accepting. Birdlime was supported at
15 to I, but the offers have since been three or four points worse.
The Master of the Rolls was backed last evening at 1(X) to 3.
So little has been said or dope upon the Derby lace that we
may simply observe, that 9 to 1 would have been laid with much
spirit last night on the field ; and, in the course of the present
day, 10 to 1 was offered even against the new premier at Tatter-
t:all's yesterday, viz.,- Mr. Armitage's colt, out of Nonplus's
dam. A few gentlemen have backed this colt heavily to our
market during the past three months, and will, no doubt, find
hedging very agreeable. Ihe appearance of the London busi-
ness indicates that he is the crack in Mr. Scott's powerful stable.
It is, however, a long. period to Epsein races, and we should
say, in the face of a Journey from the ncrth 16 Newmarket
Heath, the layers at 10 to I cannot be said to have so very good
a thing in hand; and again it is not often that the horse of
Scott's is made so conspicuous a favourite, upwards of four
months before the Derby day.

LIVERPOOL MARKETS.

CORN MARKET—FRIDAY, JANUARY 19. 1838.
In the face of a continuance of contrary, but not high winds,
a tolerable number of English, Irish, and Scotch vessels have
entered this port since Tuesday, with a moderate supply of
most kinds of Grain and thitmeal; but of Flour we have very
little fresh in for to-day.
Still excluded from the inland markets by severe frost and
the complete stoppage of the canals, the business passing here
in any article of the Corn trade between Tuesday and to-day,
Cgheaos:braeEelxncieuhw,:ith:olly restricted to our local dealers, upon a very
limited scale, without affecting in any essential degree the
41 ieontisi
i:fniiourrnilansgt, circular.
Having but a limited show of Wheat in the stands of of r
the
firm, and good samples of IrishWetrerade for thisheldata gnardain remained

per 7011,5. upon Tuesday's rates, with which our town millers,
in some instances, were obliged to comply, but were not tile
buyers; and in the value of English and foreign there was no
amendment.—Flour continued in fair demand at an improve-
ment of Is. per sack.

Malting Barley ruled extremely dull, and grinding qualities
moved off less freely at late prices.—Malt, Beans, and Peas,
remained in much the same languid state as described on Tues-
day.

Oats met some little inquiry, but in the absence of country
buyers very few sales were effected, and prices were the turn
lower. Oatmeal also, from the same cause, was taken.off very
sparingly, but without any material change in value.
Of Bonded Wheat some further parcels have been sold, and
prime Red lower Baltic has brought ss. 3d. per 70Ibs.—Pats &
Flour under lock continue likewise to meet occasional buyers
for export at the current rates of Tuesday last.
