COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
it is said that the duty pail 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 fur 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 report is entirely disbelieved.
Consuls may be quoted at 93% Money,- and 93 % 9-1 for

In the early part of the morning the British Market was
heavy, and Consols receded from 93% 9l to 93% for the Ac-
count We have every reason to believe th,tt this receding
is not owing to any unfavourable intelligence being received,
but merely arising from reports respecting Russia, which are
not credited by well-informed persons.

By the advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4361
per mark, which, at the English Mint Price of £3 17s. 1014.
the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10%,
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being
139, it follows that gold is 0.81 per cent. dearer at Ham-
burc,h than in London.
lire premium on gold at Paris is 71 per mille, which, at
the English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. the ounce for stan-
dard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 331: and the exchange
at Paris on London at short being 25 424' it follows that gold
is 0.36 per cent. lower in Paris than in London.
The course of Exchange at New York on London is 1092
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is .07 per cent. against England.

Betting.-5- to 4 against Flighty (taken ;) 4to I against
Alexandria; 5 to I 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 un, with the ex-
ception of the Langar cult and 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 woo by half a neck. Item and Fliuhty seve-
rally claim to have been third, and Alexandrina 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.

Colonel Peel's br c lon, by Cain (Pavis) 2
The fidlowing were not placed :—Diike 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 r The Hydra,
by Sir Hercules (Chapple); Mr. Thornhill's ch c Saintfoiu,
by St. Patrick (Conolly).
'Toe betting, from the time our account of Monday's races
was forwarded up to the close, underwent several changes.
Up to 12 o'clock that night. lon and D m John were.nearlv
head and head, the Newmarket horse having the call; £6OO
or £7OO, 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 lon 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 Klzira, 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 front, with Saintfoin at his heels, but
before they had gone lilt) 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, Cobham
fifth, Alzira sixth, and The Hydra last. With the first three
the positions were unchanged to the finish, Den John con-
tinuing the lead at a good pace, and winning in the com-
monest canter imaginable by four or five lengths, Lanercost
coming in a long way behind lon. A trifling movement
took place amongst the others after passing the Red-house;
Cobham went nearer in front, and, withmit the slightest
prospect of winning, looked as if he could beat Lanercost;
unfortunately, however, he broke down just below the die:
tance. The Hydra gaine I ground every st. ile after turning
the course, anti ran in fourth, Alzira and Saintfoin 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 pro-
mises to be easy. •
