SPORTING INTELLIGENCE• THE EGRAM AND OXFORD MEETINGS. .TO ?RI IDITOR OF TOL EIPRIOSO. Rth,—The Past weaha; ;bow; that the popula rity of horse-racing is not much dimioishing, the principil mietinp having brought together plenty of horses, though their quality was not, taken generally, much to boast about. We certainly saw the great Dollar at Wolverhamptoa, where mother turned up good enough to beat him, for which be boa to thank the disadvantages under which be performed. The course was not suited to him, and he had all the worst of the weights, and it was not by any metro a disgrace to run second to • horse bke O'dminster, who wbeu ie the vein could al w ays take his own port in the be‘t of cowpony, even with eat a pound the hest of it. The folks of the bl ack country eau eouvirotiously assert they saw about the best four year old in training at their meeting. and the two and three-ye -611 crocks, were well represented by Viet/India and B the latter giving renewed comidenos to hie Si. Legsr a a l t by his style of defeating Lord Zetland, when giving him 7tb. although it most not be forgotten his owner has another alit in Claremont, who is evidently being nursed tor something, and that the greet General Peel is in the bands of the same trainer. Victorious, having had • good seat since the Good wood week, was very nearly being upset by a wider ,te horse, to whom he gave 211 b and a beating the bat time he wits out. The remaining incidents of the wades lacing are comprised is the defeats of Hooey Spinner and Je -.Abel at Reading which showed how they must have Mee off. and the brilliant victory at Huntingdon of Hope, the obje:tion to whom must fall to the ground, as the Lewes Nursery Stakes were sever virtually in dispute, and her backers iu both cases need not fear a reversal of the judges' decisions. The forthcoming meetings at Egham sod Oxford are chiefly for the employment of platers, and the others to We place have but little interest for the racing world gene rally, so that they have • comparatively quiet week before them. Egbam will revive recolleetions of the catutrophe that occurred during the Ascot 'reek in consequeoce of the blunder ing railway arrangements ; but the million will hardly be deterred from making their annual visit to the pretty race eserse, nod the programme issued is capable of attractieg cockney sportsmen, who take a great interest in the histo rically named ktoanymede, Kik; John Barons', and Magna, Charts Stakes. The Runnymede Handicap, one mile, has a dozen soceptances, and the public have recently seen enough of Aurelian, 'hotfoot, Gamecock, Peon, Batsman, aul Orphans for a race betweeu them to excite no little interest, their respective weights bringing them all to a pretty near equality, my choice falling upon Peon. Ratanien has not such a good lot to meet for the Welter Handicap, as the same course, and if he will bat try • victory should be the result, Durham being the most likely to win, if hie heart fail him stain : Light should not have the worst of the scramble for the six furlong Betting Stand Plate, which threatens in • measure to spoil the Town Plate on the second day, for there are a great many horses engaged in the two events. The King John Stakes:, for 2-yr-olds, three quarters of • rude, will be quite scrambled for. in the probable ebonies of Victorious, as Lemonade (Set I%b), Acti-11 , earioar (Set ab), Advance (tat 101 h), the Swift (Set 13Ib), Mr. Nichol, Pro ✓o*, (id 10Ib), Discretion (Set 10(b), and Sympathy (Sot 71b), are sot • very respectable lot to oceeprise the beet of UM others eogaged. Lemonade and Anti-Mecasoar have occasionally shorn good form, and Provisor always promised to do so ; and in leaving the issue to a trio • preference mast he given to the shifty Anti-Macassar. The Barons' Handicap, same course, will be more in Advance's line, as be is in receipt of semethiog considerable from Radcliffe, the Miss Sellon colt, and Sukuheva, and Deed not fear =toy others. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, two miles, is quite a failure, only three being left io, of whirl the best is Retainer, who managed to win when last moaning is public, end being by Neville ought to stay the coarse. Oxford has been well supported by °amen of homes, and the bill of fare issued is an extensive one, ten events already completed having plenty of c.ciacribere. But they are chntly handicaps of the scrambling order, and depen dent but only one upon the otoer, but on what inlay previously transpire at Egham ; so that I must pass them all over with the exception of the principal one, the Oxfordshire Plate, two miles. Here last year's whom, Balhem, is very threatening again, and I cannot see what ta to prevent his acconiphalr tog the double event. The Prince of Wales' two-year-oid Plate, half a mile, is not to allow us another look at Victori ous, sod Attache may be an absentee also, salmi met with so enicidext at Wolverhampton. Thus Anti-Macemear. Edin burgh, and Grappler should have the honour of fighting it eat ;sail unless the first-named eau win very easily at Egham, the pure umy fall to the lot of the Grappler.—l ant, METEOR.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. RYDE, SATURDAY EVENING. The departure of the boat in connexion with the list tram from Portsmouth on Friday did not allow the positive announcement of the result of the two races for 501. each by scbomaers and cutters, although it was then pretty clearly indicated that the Aline would take we prise and the Mosquito the other. This statement turned out to be quite correct, and perhaps the close of the two races was one of the most interesting ever witnessed. The leading yacht. of the two classes—Aline and Mosquito—on coming towards the mark boatat which the race was to finish were so near to each other that it could not be determined which, if either. wu is advance of the other, being appersotiv a "dud beat" between them ; but u they were sailing for separate prizes this was not of importance. When the vie tired the only difference between the two was the additional length of the Aliee's bowsprit.

This result lute gives great satisfaction to the inhabitants, hi consequence of the arell-knowo liberality of Captain Thelloseon, aid his hariog done so much for the good of the town Mace he has bees the commodore of the club. At dusk ID the evening there was • grand display of fire works from • stage on the water in front of the Club-hones, and they were discharged with great regularity, and were witnessed by a large body of the visitors in the town. At the condmion of the &ovate& signal was gives for the illumination of the whole fleet of yacht• lying about the station, but this display was somewhat ramrod by the ownwr of a couple of yachts disregarding. or being is ignorance of the previous arrangement', and he oommenoed firing guns. These were taken by some yacht owners to ►e the signal for them to illuminate, while others, knowing them to be us authorised, did not obey ; and the conaequenoe was the bast arrangement was to some extent frostrasecL Still, on the whole, a very fair azhibitioe took plaoe. The Regatta Ball, intended to be held here on Friday evening, was postponed for a fortnight This day was devoted to boat rice', dock hunts, and other aquatic sports, and, as usual, attracted a vary large number of persons on the pier to witness them ; and special boats ran from Portsmouth, bringing • large accession of visitors The extreme fineness of the weather wee • great inducement for all who could to be present, and as the entire fleet of yachts, about 200 in number, were all fully dressed with Bags, at promoted a splendid picture sot often Interned in these waters. There was • very spirited competition for all the prices, sod the races for lne docks and the duck heats elicited roan of laughter. The band of the Royal Marines from Portsmouth were on the par during the afternoon, and under the direction of Mr. J. C. Earl, bandmaster, played • choice selection of muds. boat-races terminated the regatta at Ryde, bat to-morrow a splendid cup of the value of 1001., given by Mr. Charles TheHasson, the commodore, will be sailed for by all yachts belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, the course being front Ryde to Torquay. This cup was exhibited yesterday, acid it is really a 'emotes mass of gold and silver. It was manufactured by Maus. Londoo and Ryder, and calculated to add to the reputation of the makers of the Ryde and Doecarter cups. The design is of the classic Greek style, the ground being dead gold and the relief dead silver. The two handles are beautifully modelled mermaids, by Flaffere; the cover is frosted Slyer, surmounted by an infant Nep tune outride • dolphin. On the tam are masks of sea mon. eters. The cap bean the following inscription :—" Pre seated to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club by Charles Mel lusson, Ear., Ocean Match, Ryde to Torquay, A utust 16, 1864." Ma sire. London and Ryder had the honour of sub mitting this imp for the impieties of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who expressed himself highly pleased with it. This is the second year of the ocean matches originated by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, and the re mit' have proved highly satisfactory, affording • fair scope for seamanship, and teetivg the capabilities of both cutters and schooners, which the long shore matches to a certain axtent do not admit of. The list of prises with this is by no means exhausted ; for on Tuesday, the 23rd instant , three prizes will be given to be sailed for, by Mr. T. Broadwood, via :—First prise, a silver soap wren,. value 60L, for sc h ooners ; second prise, an ornamental piece of plate, value 401., for cutters and yawls ; and • third prize, a piers of plate, value 151., for all vessels under 40 toes. The course for these ream will be from Torquay round the Eddystone Lighthouse to Plymouth. Again. on Thursday, September 1, a prise of the value of WI. for schooners, and 50t. for cutters sad yank, belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. To be veiled for from Dartmouth to Ryde.

I mouth, August 30 and 3L Therefore take, altogether, prizes amounting in the aggregate to 5651. are offered for competition, • som which mink, if not surpasses most of the other aquatic clubs in the kingdom, and it only waits the addition of • prise by her Majesty, wham name the club bears, to make the Victoria Yacht Club scarcely mend to any other. SUiPEPTID CHILD M —EIMER AT HOMERTON.-011 Saturday months; an inquiry was held by Mr. Richards respecting the death of • male child supposed to have been murdered at Iloraertoo. It appeared that aa two gentlemen and Filder were walking along the banks of the river Lea, wear Homerton-bridge, they sew lying on the path the body of the deceaaed child. There was a rope around the child's seek, tied tightly is a knot. A briok was fastened to the other end of the rope. Some person had evideotly in the might time flung the child towards the river, and thinking it bad gone into the water, had Iran away without looking. Dr. Miller, surgeon to the Hackney union, said he had examined the child, which was a male child fully developed and of full time. There was a mark of a ligature around the neck. Ftum the state of deemnposittoe the body was in • he could not undertake to state that the child was alive when the rope was put around its neck. The deputymorceer said so doubt the case was mother instance of the fearfully me i relict crime of infanticide.

Shortly afterwards the captain cameos deck and asked where the second mate was (messing the prisoner), and whether he had not been secured' Prisoner was standing near at the time, and he turned round and deliberately shot the captain through the head. The captain fell, wed after lingering foe about half an hoar, died. The prisoner in the meantime had betaken himself to the captain's alio.

He afterwards came ea deck heavily armed, and proceeded to lower tLe lifeboat, into which he cot, and at once started from the ship. It was thew about half-past two in the meriting. Shots were fired at biro, hut it was sussed logly disk at the time, arid they did sot take effect.

The report of the directors states that the result of the put half-year's working, as shown by the aimonnts, is a balsas, to the credit of review of 45,5610 increase of 2,726/., 1111 compered with the period of the previous year.

The working expenses, on the other hand, show en lemmas of :46801., miming chiefly from a larger expenditare than usual on repairs, and renewal of the rolling stock, which the directors deem it essential to place is the best possible cooditiou prior to the opening of the City Exteneion line. The expenditure on capital account during the test half. year aroonota to 175,4551., the sum of 16,592/. having been expended on additional plant, and 158,8631. on the sew line to the City, and on the purchase of additional laoda for Bow works, and for widening the existing main line. The amount el the share capital raised for the purpose of the City Branch work being exhanated, it has been found neces sary to ransom moonlit of the loan capital authorised by the City Branch Act, the sum of 100.0001., the interest on which forms en additional charge egainet the revenue of the past half.year. The net balance, after payment of debenture interest. is 38,6134, from which the directors recommend that 4,0001. be added to the special works and contingencies fund ; that 2,0004 be set .aide on amount of parliamen tary expenses ; and that from the sum of 32,6131., available for division after this deduction, a dividend be declared, os the ordinary share capital of the company, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of 9971. to be carried forward to the cahoot half-year. The directors regret to report that the application to parliament for power to construct a line from Kingsland to Tottenham was um encases/ al, the bill having been rejected in oonimittee of the House of Commons. The Additioaal Powers Bill, pro moted by the company, has received the royal assent, the opposition of the East and West India Dock Company having resulted in an arrangement, which the directors trust may prove advantageous to both companies. An act has been obtained by the London and South Western Railway Company for the construction of a direct line from the North sod South Western Junction Railway to Kew and Richmond. Powers of user are secured to the Leaden end North Western, end North and South Western Junction Companies, which will have the effect of giving to the treffic over this company's lice the advantage of a direct coinmunicatioo with thatimportant district. In pursuance of the resolution penned at the last half-yearly meeting, arrangements have been made far raising the additional capital sanctioned by the company's Widening Act, by the issue of new shares of 101. each, of which ens-halt will be. called op during the present year, for the purchase of the lends required for the widening of the lice between Camden and Kingsland. The engineer reports that considerable pro- Lrsm has been made is the works of the City Extension to verpoul-street during the last six months. The total length of this line is 4,500 yards; about two thirds of which is viaduct, and the remaining portion excavation and retaining works ; of the whole length 3,075 yards are complete. The buildings and roof for the pas memoir station in Liverpool-street, together with the portico belonging to the Load= and North Western Railway Com pany, will be contracted for early in October.

Mr. Thomas said the prisoner came to his hotel on the 20th of August last, when be gave him to understand that he wan a member of the Junior United Service Club.

Witness continued —I had told him that I would not loss the chain on any amount, as my poor husband, than dead, had made them for me. I paid interest on them eight times, and when I went to redeem them and put two dories on the counter, he made a laughiogotoek of me, and said he had sold them, but I have ssen him sitting on one of them at his shop door since.

The directors of this company state in their report that the capital account steads as follows :—Reosived to the 30th of June, 13,144,2361., sod expended 12,897,913/..leaving a balance of 246,3231. The total expenditure on capital se count daring the half-year was 168,500/.. of which 31,1204 had been paid for lead and 46,1451. for works, comprising enlargements of the King's cross goods and coal stations. the widening of the line and additional sidings at and Dear Loa ders, and sundry works necessary to accommodate the traffic at various other points. The subscriptions to other under takings connected with the company amounted to 76,2901. Twenty new engines and 500 waggons suitable for the carriage of goods and coal had been contracted for to meet the requirements of the traffic. The new ordinary stock was allotted to the proprietors, and 782,9904 stock out of a total of 637.0664 was duly taken no. including the pre miums and calls paid io advance 438,7121. had been received thereon. The gross receipts for the past half-year amounted to 633,8144, the gross expenditure to 441,4534, lenviag a balance of 392,3611. To this was added 2134 from the pre ceding ball-year, and 8,4001. due from the Eastern Caus tic. Railway Company, making 400,974/., against 328,6794 for the Corr sponding half of 1863, showing an increase of 72,295/. The fixed charges, including interest on loses and preference shares amounted to 266,2531. leaving a net balsam available for ordinary divideods of 134,7214 against 102.539/. for the corresponding half of 1863, alsowieg an increase of 32.1224 The balance of 134,7211. would enable the proprietors to declare • dividend on the original stock at the rate of per cent. per annum. In the oorre spending half of 1863 the dividend was et the rate of 4e per cent. per annum. For the half-year the proprietors would receive 2!. 15.. par cent. on the original stock, 31. percent. on the B stock, and 2/. 105 per mat. on the A stook, sad 17e 9d. per meta would be paid oa the tint instalment of 1 the new ordinary stock, being the proportion of dividend ' dm thereon from the 2nd of May last, leaving • balance of 1,4214 for the seat account. Is the coaching traffic re ceipts there was a gross increase of 33,606/.; in the merchan dise and cattle traffic of 40,8771., and in the mineral traffic; of 52,5454, those, with other smaller items, made • total in creased receipts of 126,8211. A portion of We iocrease was, however, attributable to the whole of the receipts from the trade of the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax and Bourn and Esseadine railways being included in the amounts for the half-year, so that to make • fair comparison with the corresponding period of 1863, the rents payable to the above company should be deducted, and this would reduce the thersw to about 105,0001. In addition to those reels the fixed charges included for the first time dividend for the half-year at the rate of 5 per cent. per Ileallife on 359,7411. of the irredeemable preference stock of 1861 • and dividend and interest was also payable in respect of 39i,625/, received on account of the new ordinary stock created is April Lae. The charge for interest was also greater. The expenditure for the half-year was 54,6131. above that of the corsepeedies period, and itieleded the cost of working and maintaining 23 miles of railway and 12 stations on the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax line. The report adverted to the Greet Eastern Company's bill for • bee from Loos Stanton, • few miles aorth of Cambridge, yid Peterborough, Bourn. Sleaford, Lincoln, and Galesborougb, to DOOQUIIee and /Lamm passing through the district situate between the Great Northers mails and loop line'. This proposed line, leder!. leg breaches, was about 134 miles is length ; a great por tion of it would have passed within • few miles of existing railways, lied it was also for many miles almost idestkal in its course with lines projected by the Great Northers Company to meet the local wants of the district. To remove any protases for the emestroalan of this railway, the Great Northern Company, early in the year, proposed to the directors of the Great Eastern Company to enter into arrangements for the exchange of traffic facilities. with a view to secure to each company the right to send and receive traffic to and from all Mate oe and beyond the lines of the other company ; the rates to be fixed by agree ment or settled by arbitration, and the receipts to be divis ible in mileage proportion ; authority to be also delegated to an arbitrthor to great running power to either oompasy in the erect of his (the arbitrator's) deciding that the Milo of such company was not conducted efficiently or is good faith by the other. Those proposals, although hued on the previous experience of this and other companies, were not accepted, and the direeton had therefore so altersative but to appear is support of the company's interests before a par liamentary committee,. After • leagthened investigation of 25days the committee of the House of Commons decided unanimously against the Greet Eastern Bill, and granted this company's application for a line, in completion of their loop line, from Osissbnrough to master, and for a line from Lincoln to Honiogtee. These bills also sag> rised the amalpreatios of the Boston and Sleaford and the 11411 TO and Pesendiee Companies with the Great Northern Company. The Houle of Commons committee further ordered clauses to be inserted in the Great Northern hills to secure to the Great Eudora Company trade facili ties on terms similar to those previonely offered by the Great Yorthers, but refused by the Great Eastern Company. Not withstanding this decision, the Great Eastern Complier appeared we opponents to thus company's hills before the Lords' committee ; but after • full hearing the Lords ran firmed the decision of the Commons by declaring the pream ble of both the Great Northern bills proved, retail:deg also the facility clauses Needed is the Commons. The powers granted by those clauses could be exercised immediately by she Great Eastern Company if they elected to do so, and the directors repeated that they were ready to enter iota mutual arraagementa with the Great Eastern Company for the receipt and tranoniision of the traffic of the two °m eanie', upon terms which experiesos had proved to be maths'!, advantageous, sad which, while they afforded ass tprotection to the companies concerned, avoided the outlay of money in the coestmction of Dew and un sameary lines and the wasteful expenditure inevitably eataflact by prolonged parlismeatary mutest& Pursuant to the provisions of the C.'hathani Company's Act the meet. fag would be made inertia to raise the 300,0004, to bead. minced to that company at SS per cent. interest. The directors remomeoded that the 300,0004 should be raised by the issue of • further amass of new ordinary stook, to be offered to the proprietan es the same term as that recently ereated.

OOTTON GOODS.-31Ascsamm, AUGUST 13.—The week apseed with a quiet and depressed market, owing to the apprehensions very generally entertained of a farther and *scions advance of dimansta. On Tuesday homilies' is this market. both for yarns and clothe, was almost sus pended. Sines that day a rather better feeling has pre vailed. The indications of the money market have beea interpreted more favourably, and y es terday and this morn ing a decidedly more cheerful feeling prevails, but it pre vails, unfortunately, more amongst sellers than buyers ; end thew whilst spinners and manufacturers are recovering from the &premien under which on Tuesday they were willing to make some COOOlBlllOll in price, the feeling is not very generally responded to by merchant.. There have been more inquiries for yarn, and to some extent for cloths, but it has not yet led to much humus's'. In yams the offers from exporters have been ten low, sad have not led to many purchases, but a little more has been effected for the home trade, though without much improve ment is prices. In cloths of good qualities, inch as printers sod shirtiop, some little business has been done for export at fall rates, but in domestics, long cloths, and T cloths, with rather more inquiry, the market continues flat. Prizes are still depressed, and there is not animation enough in the demand to give a spring to values. The deices from Calcutta and Bombay have caused general disappointment, and do not seem calculated to bring buyers into the market. The production of good throughout the district is so large as continually to keep down stocks of miter', notwithstand ing the greatly Seemed importations of the year, and especially of the last few months, and yet the average prices of cloth and yarn are higher than ever they have been—a state of things which causes surprise in all quarters, and is not regarded without uneasinese an to the future, since a good many people are now beginning to think it sot improbable we shell kayo a full supply of cotton next year, independent of America.

HARDWARE.—Brannonsx, AUGUST 13.—The trade of this town is quieter, the country orders having slightly fallen off, but manufacturers ban sufficient on their books to keep them fully employed without making up goods for stock. The electro-platers are doing a steady trade, se are also the hollowware manufacturers and the tin-plate workers; the edge-tool makers are full of orders, a good proportion of which are on aeoouot of the export trade. The be rfounders are doing a fair amount of business for the time of year, most of them being tolerably well em ployed, and for builders' ironmongery Viers is a steady de ' mad. In the foreign department trade is in a very satisfactory state ; there are more orders in from the north of Europe ; the West Indian trade has rallied considerably, sad than is a fair supply of orders on hand on account of Mexico. The reports from the adjoin ing district of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire ate of a satisfactory character, except as regards the iron trade, which is depressed. The foundries are well engaged, and the chain makers, spade, shovel, and fork makers are doing a good average amount of badman. At Walsall the saddlers ironmongers are very well supplied with orders, sad at all the manufactories in the neighbourhood of Wol verhampton and Bilston the men are working full time. With the exception of those engager' in the iron trade there is ample employment for labour throughout the district. • -•-- CORN.—Carraunua, AUGUST 13.—A good supply of wheat, both old sad new, which met a slow demand.

It was remarked daring business hours, that although one large farmer Dear Dorchester had carried I all his corn, and was only waiting to celebrate " harvest home," when his neighbours had carried " their last load," ! not a single quarter of now wheat had been ironed at soy mill in this locality. This is a true sign of the prosperity of the agricultunats in this neighbourhood. The accounts of the wheat crop are very favourable. both as extends to quantity and quality, the moat careful estimate being very little lass than an avenge. Barley is abundant ; the gelds are full of ears, and the ears are full of corn, sod the quality both for malting and distilling was never better. Oats oven are not so bad as was stated, for on many farms they will produce an average crop. Beans and peas were dear, and are still likely to be so ; both are very deficient from the effects of blight and mildew. Flour a good ale at 30a. oar rack. Hay, we mentioned last week, was advise log ; it was then for the hest quality 51. per ton, now it is worth 51. 10s. Fruit of all kinds is unusually cheap.

So far very little new grain has appeared at market, and except a few parcels of oats we have not bad any deliveries of old for the week, while our imports are almost oil. With rather more doing in the tends than of late, previous prices have been well supported. Foreign wheat has met a fair inquiry at full rates, but in Irish we have not beard of any transactions.
