THE FRENCH TURF. 
Paris, Wednesday.— According to all appearances, the racing of the 
present year will be the most brilliant ever known in Franco since the 
Introduction of horse-races upwards of sixty years ago. The number 
of horses in training is extraordinarily great, and amongst the young 
ones are several of peat promise : whilst there Is every reason to be- 
lieve that those whose reputation is already established will maintain, 
if not enhance it. The debut of the Count de Moray on the turf is 
looked forward to with great interest, and it Is said that he entertains 
tlie lofty ambition of making his stud the crack one of France; but 
perhaps lie will scarcely be able, in the course of a single year, to rival 
M A union t, the Prince de Bcauvalr, Mr. Carter, and Count 
d’Hcdouvilio. The total number of stakes to be given is rather 
larger than usual, and some of them have been augmented in 
amount ; whilst, in more than one provincial place, where there 
have been no races, there is a talk of establishing some. It Is 
expected that In such races as arc open to horses of all countries— 
and the number of them is by no means inconsiderable— light horses 
will figure. This is a tiling devoutly to be desired; but it is right that 
English owners and trainers should be warned not to hold so mean an 
opinion of French racing ns to imagine that they can easily send over 
third or fourth-rate hacks nnd win. They must remember tliat tlie 
French turf now counts Jouvenccs and Heroines, who can figure with 
marked honour in even thecrnck races of England. 
The number of Stecpleclinscs will be greater than usual, nnd some 
of them will he of far greater importance than any ever yet mu In 
this country. The first that w ill come off will be the Grand Hundicnp 
of La Marche, near Paris ; it is fixed for the 2nd of April, and w ill 
produce to the winner pretty near 1000/. sterling. Twenty-eight 
horses have been entered for it, and amongst them are not only the 
(Ida of France, but some cracks of England, The handicapping took 
place both in London and Paris, and on comparing notes, surprise 
and pleasure were expressed to find that there was very little differ- 
ence between the two, and Hint difference has since, of course, been 
settled to mutual satisfaction. 
This grand affair Is to bo preceded by n Steeplechase, which Is to 
come oft to-morrow (Sundny) at La Marche, and in which only ordinary 
riding and hunting horses nro to appear; nnd such of them us have 
run in Steeplechases are not to be admitted. A number of entries have 
been made- each entry 1/. The distance is not to bo less than five 
English miles, and there are to bo about 20 Jumps, more or less stiff. 
Capital sport is expected. 
A Subscriber is informed that courses are decided according to 
Hie points made by each dog. The first up, first turn, serving the 
turn, go-by, wrench, kill, & c. Tlie judge is tho authority to decide 
upon tho merits of tho course; and whether right or wrong, liis award 
is final.

MARKETS. 
MONEY MARKS T. 
Monday. — The English funds opened with much dulucss, but 
an improvement took place. Consols, which loft oil' on Saturday 
at 00 j to $, were first quoted 90f, whence they receded to 90jj. 
Ultimately, n reaction occurred, and at tlio closo of business 
there were buyers ot 91, both for money and the 18th of April. 
Dunk Stock left off nt 219 to 220 ; Reduced, 92$ to \ ; India 
Stock. 235 to 23S ; India Ronds, 5s. to 10s.; nnd Exchequer 
Bills, noiniuully 12s. to 17s. premium. 
Tuesday. — The stutement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 
show ing that thoro is no probability of n creation of fresli stock, 
caused tho English Funds to open at on improvement, which 
would linvo been still greater hut for the simultaneous intelli- 
gence of a French loan of ten millions. Consols, which left off 
on Monday evening nt 91, woro first quoted 91,j to 3. whence 
they receded to 91. Tho scarcity of stock, however, which is be- 
yond anything known for many years, continued to render any 
prolonged decline impossible, and a rebound occurred to 91 ft. 
Tliero was then another partial reaction, and the final prices 
were 91 J to $ for money, nnd 91$ for the 18th of April. Bank 
Stock left oil' at 219 lo 220; Tlirec-und-a-Qunrfor per Cents., 
92$ to J; India Stock, 235 to 233; India Bonds, 6s. !o 10s.; 
ami Exchequer Bills, 12s. to 10s. premium. 
Wednesday. — Tlio English Funds opened Btendily nt tho 
closing prices of Tuesday, but tho market subsequently showed 
weakness. Consols were first quoted 91 $ to 8, wlienco they re- 
ceded during the day to 90$ upon a most mendacious report of a 
defeat of the Turks nt Kalnfat. Ultimately the intelligence was 
dircrcdited, and there was u slight tendency to recovery, tho final 
juices being 90$ to 91$ for money, nnd 90$ to 91 for tlio 18th of 
April. Bunk .Stock left off ot 220 to 222 ; Three-and-a-Quarter
