He proved himself decidedly the best horse of his year, having won upwards of 7000gs when three years old. His Cesarewitch running stands unequalled, and is the best on record, having beaten horses of all ages at unprecedented weights, giving those of his year from 1st. to near 3st. From the superior blood of Faugh-a-Ballagh, combined with fine shape, great beauty, and the superior racing qualities he possesses, he cannot fail in getting race-horses. N.B. The greatest attention will be paid to mares sent. Hay and grass at the usual prices. Corn, if ordered, at the market price. All charges to be paid before the mares are taken away.

GORHAMBURY, years old, bred by the Earl of Verulam, at 7 sov. a mare; two mares, the property of one gentleman, 10 sov. and 10s. to the groom; half-bred mares, half-price. He ran second to Cotherstone (one of the very best horses that ever won the Derby) won the Shield at Ascot Heath, beating a large field of good horses, also at Newcastle, and Epsom, in a canter, after which he met with an accident, and being a large fine, and strongconstitutioned animal, could never be got fairly fit to run afterwards. He is perhaps one of the most valuable untried young stallions in the world. His qualifications for the stud are immense and rarely met with great size, best of blood, a good runner, fine temper, very handsome, legs and feet of the very best, and best set on, which must ensure his getting the very best stock. PETER THE HERMIT, 7 years old, bred by Lord Chesterfield, at 5 sov. a mare; two, the property of one gentleman, at 7 sov.; halfbred mares, half-price; groom 5s. each. He was got by Gladiator, dam by Velocipede (sister to Ainderby) out of Kate, by Catton-Miss Garforth, by Walton, &c.

He is a bay horse, of fine temper and constitution, and his performances at 4 years old were equal to those of any horse of the day. He is a sure foal-getter.

Hay and grass for barren mares at 8s. per week; mares in foal 9s. Corn, if ordered, at the market price. All expenses to be paid before the mares are taken away. N. B. A report which was circulated last year, that Lanercost could not get a race-horse, has at last proved to be false, for he has got nine or ten 2 years old winners this year, which is more than any other stallion has got. LAUNCELOT (winner of the Great St Leger) will serve at Bangor, County Down, Ireland, thirty-five mares, by subscription at 8gs each, groom's fee included. Any person sending four mares, bona fide his own property, will have one served gratis, paying the groom's fee. Application to be made to W. Winsor, groom, Bangor.

Melbourne is the sire of Sir Tatton Sykes, the winner of the 2000gs stakes at Newmarket, and of the Doncaster St Leger in 1846; also of Premier, who has started but once, and was the winner of the Two yrs old stakes at Manchester in 1846. The above are the only horses by Melbourne which have appeared in public. Melbourne is a horse of prodigious power; this colour is a rich brown, and free from white, except a small streak down his face. He is perfectly sound, has excellent legs and feet, with the finest temper and constitution possible. THE PRIME WARDEN; full-bred mares at 10gs, all others at 3gs each. The Prime Warden is by Cadland (the winner of the Derby in 1828) out of Zarina, by Morisco, her dam, Ina, by Smolensko (winner of the Derby in 1813) out of Morgiana, by Coriander, &c. The Prime Warden is a beautiful bay horse, stands 16 hands high, and has great power, with a fine temper and capital action. He has had very few thorough-bred mares, but all his stock which have been in training have shown running. He is the sire of Assay, 91, &c. &c. The Prime Warden was the winner of several races, and breeders of full-bred and half-bred stock will find him a superior stallion. Excellent accommodation, with private paddocks, if required. Independent of a large range of sound pasture land, there is always at Bonehill Farm a succession of green crops for brood mares and foals. Hay and grass for foaling mares 10s. and for barren mares 9s. per week. Corn at market price. All expenses to be paid at the time of covering, or before the mares are taken away.
