SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST KRRTING.WIDNII9DAY. This manias opmed with weather very thmlar to that of the prerithe day, the wind being cold and the clouds threatening rein. The preceding evening, in the entecrip tioa-rootos, wee only remarkable for the flatness of theca. Wien, and was little like what is usually the eve of the Ebor. The Miesidenee on that:three was large, bat by no mune in exam of late years, though in the nag there was evidently an aceseenoe of visitor.. The Ebor Handicap, which her been rife with "deed 'nos," appeared to excite but little interest with the general public, and overnight speculation was confined to the three favourites. The morning business was of a very uninteresting character, and rernarkehle only for the introduction and almost immediate knocking out of one or two of the outsiders. The Clown was one of these wetly put up, and when " the ring" as sembled within the betting enclosure on Knavesmire, as little se 6 and 7to I was taken about him. His retrogression, however, rapidly followed, sod at 2.15 the fielders were prevented getting say more money by the athouneenient of his being struck out to the clerk of the course. Eleven races were on the card, and at ONO o'clock they commenced with the Hopeful Stakes, which ended with a walk over. Spe culation was then directedaquarter of an hour subsequently to the Filly Sapling Stakes, for which four ran, and the re mit of which proved the judgment of the backers by the themes of Siberia. For the Loodesborough Cup only three of the sixteen entered were absentees, Stirrup Cap at the tint bele; backed at 6 to 1 for small amounts, bat sub sequently retired to 100 to 6, the principal investments being made in favour of Queen of Tramps, Brindisi , Kilkenny, sod Ilawkshes. The Prince of Weiss' Stakes introduced to public nodes Mr. Jackson's Jupiter, which, it will be re membered, wee backed by the spirited owner for 10,0004 against Liddisstoa in the Derby. Notwithstanding, the knowledge of this bet had little influence with backers of horses, who firmly relied on the " form" of the French horse Gontrau, who justified the odds laid ea him by winning easily. A great favourite in East Lynn foe the Baseline Stakes war upset by Peeress, a fashion ably bred filly, the only other backed of five runners. The field for the Ebor, as was generally expected, was small, only eight rumen going to the poet Imme lately upon the numbers being hoisted, it was seen that "Little Grimmy," who bed been reported all the morning as likely to ride Mouhey, was engaged for the Highfithr's dam, the latter animal became an immense favourite, the choice being inch as to give him an entire call of everything in the race. Immediately the horses got to the peel they were started in compact order, but in a quarter of a mile East Lancashire assumed a clear lead, Nemo, Raglan, and Welcome forming his immediate followers. Little variation occurred until within a quarter of a mile from home, where Raglan and Nemo hauled East Leeceehire, the two running an exciting race home, which was increased in interest in the last dozen strides by Deepair getting up.

" Your directors have the satisfaction to mod that you railway is now in productive openitioe. The male line to Hantmarmnith wee opened on the 18th Jane, and the Keda sington branch on the be July. From these dates trains in both directions reepectively have been running every half boar each week-day, and mare frequently on San days. It will be the can of your directors to see that more trains are provided as the train iscressea. Year directors anticipated that the copping would have taken Pen at an earlier period, but thi anticipation was not realised in consequenoe of certain requirements of the Great Western Railway Company, both with reference to the sipait at the line, and to the erection at Hammersmith of inapparent, to supply the trains with pa. Daring the small umber of days m Jun, when the has between Pad dington and Haairtierimith only was ape, 9&4U puma- THE MILITAM STAE Irti won ia a meter by Beet Men (owner), besting five ethos. Betting :sto 4 eget Beet Nan. . re; ware conveyed , yielding a net income to this anon paarr of MI 17a. 9d. Out of this sum the directors ham repaid to capital dm proportion of certain charges for interest on debestness, ofce explains, to., for the time the line was at work ; and from the resides they props, to pay interest at the procribed rate of 5 per ant. per maim oa the soma received as deposit on the preference shams of the 14th April, 1864. After these Nevem' payments there will remain a balance of ear. au. 2d., which your directors recommend should be carried to the revenue account for the carnet hell-year. It would be premature to judge oonelnsively of the ultimate prospects of the line from so brief an experience ; but coo- Waring the recent opening, that the route mud natismarily have been only very partially known, and that even now arrangements are only medially befog matured for develop ing and accommodating the trams, the directors think the promias so far is highly encouraging. A steady inseam has taken place since 36th of June. Year directors have been urgent in petering the Great Western Oompeny to make through booking arrangements with other company ; and dam the let of August passengers have been ended vie the Kensington Breach to and from the Crystal Palace. When facilities are further afforded far honking to the Victoria Station end other places on the Brighten nd also to the Clapham Junction for Wimbledon and other diatrista on the South Western Railway, your directors are persuaded that the result. cannot fed to be satisfactory. At a meeting of representatives of the Great Western and I the Metropolitan Companies, and of this cornmay, on the 26th of May kat, final arrangemeate were made foe the immediate opening of the Hammersmith line by the Great Western Company, and for the settlement of any points whisk might anis on the formal agreements ; sad a memo- tandem to that effect was signed by the respective chairmen of the three companies. The drafts of these formal agree ments are now with the Great Western and Metropolitan Compeniee for their approval. Your directors regret that notwithstanding all their efforts they were unsuccessful in their application to parliament for antholity to extend this railway to Richmond. They, however, succeeded in ob teining running powers over the lion which is to be con structed by the Lon d on and South Western Company, aid which is, in fact, an almost similar line to that promoted by this company. These powers are secured by dames in the London and South Western Cowpoke' act. Your directors believe that eventually a very large amount of traffic over your railway may be expected from this extension. This /romping being in a measure debarred Eros having WI independent extension, liammenmith will in some respects be the limit of the rail way ; and it has in consequence bean found indapeosable to order the enlargement of the station there, to provide more aiding" and establiah • depot for coals, do. ; in fact, to make it • complete terminal station. For this purpose% became =to purchme additional property, which ham been cre advantageou terms. The plans of the proposed sew oration will be laid out in such • manner as to enable the company at no distant periid to moon at an enhanced prim a considerable portion of the property thus obtained. It has also been considered desirable to erect • small station wise the junction with the Great Western Railway at Greeo-lace-bridge, and another at the junction with the West Loudon Railway near the Norland-road. le the latter cue the directors received • memorial signed by between three and four hundred ishabitants of the neighbourhood, !pray* for the soooauscdstka. In all Wee addition, the engineer has bee. instructed to curtail the outlay as much as possible ; and your directors anticipate that the cost will not exceed the available resources of the company after reads; the value, which is daily increasing, of the company's surplus property. Mr. Room, the late secretary, ham retired from the service of the company, and Mr. A. L. Jenkins, formerly of the Great Northern Railway, has been appointed asexidszy. The office, of the company are now at 27, Bedfordatrest, Covent-gardsa, London . The Rev. E. C. Taylor being about to go abroad, it will be necessary for the shareholders to appoint another auditor in his place. Ia accordmice with the wishes expressed at the last half-yearly meeting, Colonel Ward has been appointed a director.' After some discussion the romantics for the eleebustioe of the dividend was agreed to, and • vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. GREAT YARMOUTH RACES.—WZDNICBDAY.

Metcalfe defended the prisoner. This we occupied a considerable time, and , grent interest, oa account of the highly respectable character of the defendant, who wee employed in the Royal Snail Arms Factory at Enfield, and obtained from the *Memo of that government establishment the highest character for honesty and sobriety. The prosecutor is • grocer and shopkeeper, carrying on budwee at Enfield -waah, and the charge spinet the primmer was, that on &tardy, tbe 6th of August, be went to the promontor's shop and purchased some bacon, bat while in the shop he took two sip from a beaks; which he put late his pocket and lett without paying for. This occurred abont 11 o'clock in the morning, bat at half-past eight in the evening the prosecutor gave him into coAody. A empant of police went to the prisoner's home to take him Into custody, and found two eggs lying on the dresser. The imp were not pro. dosed before the =galas* sad no attempt was made to identify them as being of the same description as those in the prosecutor's shop, from which they were alleged to have been stolen. Thethe;er to this charge was that it been founded from Madinah* motives oa the part of the prosecutor and it arose la this my. The prisoner had be commiss ioned by a Mr. Hawkins to sell a horse, which he had placed at grass et Halliard Highway, and this hens was subsequently sold to the prosecutor. The prisoner looked after the horse for some eight or nine days after the prosecutor had purchased it, and he claimed payment from the prosecutor for his ear vices, but be had never been able to get paid, and several altercations had mien about it, and several people living at Enfield had reproached the prosecutor for not paying the prisoner for the KT7IOIO he bad performed. Than observe. Mom it was urged had incensed the prosecutor, who had trumped up this charge againet the prisoner. Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury for the prisoner in a long and argumentative speech, in which be contended that it was utterly improbable that a man who had re ceived the highest cluiracMr for honesty and integrity from Mr. Barnes, the prindpal meager of Me go vernment factory at Enfield-lock, and from Mr. Smiley, the general dark of the works, also on that estsbliehment, should be so absurd as to eacrillos that good character for such a paltry consideration as two asp of a quality end sine that 16 or 20 of them could be purchased for a shilling. The prisoner had worked for many gas-fitters and bassists in Lcndoo for some years past, and was selected to go to pleas of trod where a greet deal of property was exposed, and while he was in the employ of Mr. Gordon, of Great Winchester-Meet, City, he was usually 11011 k to the Bask of England to solder down the cases of bullies intended for exportation to the British colonies He prayed the jury on such miserable evidence as this not to destroy the character of • MIA who had hitherto been distinguished for his ho nasty and integrity, and whom the authorities of the Boyal Small Arms Factory were ready to take back immediately into their employ if he should be acquitted of this charge. Several Miasmas were called, who gave the priaoncr the highest character for horology and sobriety. &drat °melee summoned up the evidence, and The jury retuned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. Ribtoe applied to the court that the =pima of the prossoutioe should be allowed, as the usual notice had not been given. Mr. &demi Genies declined to make any order formats. The prisoner who received the congratulations of hie frieods, then left the court. WINTIRN AND BWTPOID RAILWAY.- The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester day at the offices, Gnome Oeorgentreet, Westminster; Mr. P. Davey in the chair. Mr. C. Eley jos. (the secretary), reed the report. It stated that there had been no further expenditure oa capital account dories the half peer, and that theccet oftthe boundary wall by the Duke of Nartbum berlard'a property, now in progress, would probably com plete that account. The directors bad Yearley bees ..- gaged in arranging such facilities for coals to be seat by rail, via Brentford, aa they believed would largely increase that baffle. Already donut the past meth the quantity had been 5,980 tens against 1,631 toes in the some mouth of lest year. The traffic return furnished by the Great Western pee a tollage for the half-year of 4,2484, against 4,2361. for the correspooding six mouths of led year. The arbitration with the Great Western relative to the claim of this eempany to in the books in order to a verification of the accounts still remained unsettled, although it had been for eon* months before the umpire appointed by the arbitrators. The balance at the - .bloom' of the shareholders was _ 2 ,13'364, which would ad mit of dividends of 5 per cent, per annum on each class of preference duce, and of 2i per cent on the ordinary shares. The Chairman moved the adoption of the report, and dwelt at some length upon its main fea tures. Be added that the company had recently bees nought into oompetition with the North-Western, which sow rem into the coal fields of South Was, sad brought the post to Fulham basin. To counteract the effects of this competition the Cheat Western had united with the Brent. ford Company in affording greatly increased facilities for the coal traffic ;cad this, coupled with the high sea rates which had recently prevailed, had led to • greatly increased anal teenage on their line. Considering the millions of bricks that would be required far thsiThipassFaibinkmsoil and other public works, the directors had also been culti vating the brick traffic from the neighbourhood of Slough. They had lowered their rates from la. to 6.1. a ton, and the result had been a largely augmented traffic. Mr. Darwin seconded the motion, and urged upon the Great Weaken Company the importance of conducting their line upon purely commercial rather than on what be designated • genteel " prieciples. After acme further diamiesios the report was unanimouely adopted, and a eon of thank@ to the chairman and directors brought the meeting to a close. CRYSTAL PALACE AND SOCTH LONDON JENVTION RAILWAL—The fourth haltyearly meeting of the company was held yesterday at the Victoria station, Sir Clank P. Roney in the chair. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, described report, the pail boo of the bee at the pre sent time, and melded that every effort would be made to snare the opening of it on the let of May next. During the ball-year the expenditure had been at the rate of 9,0004 per week. In the last amnion they obtained powers to con struct a junction between the Greenwich entombs of the London, Chatham, and Dover line and the Crystal Palace line, the works of which would be at man commenced. This would give direct communication between Greenwich and the Palace. Sir Charles Rich seconded the adoption of the report, which was nnanimoualr agreed to without dis cussion. Henry HuttAings, easistent to Mr. Dip, pawnbroker, of Oxfordatmet, who, in consequence of hie insolent conduct in the witnees-boz on Monday last, was ordered into custody, wee brought up from the Howe of Detention in which be had been oonfined sear since. aaid be bed broeght all this upon Wawa, as every opportuany b ad been given to him to mime ledge his fault, and he kad refund to do so. He bad been impnsoned, but be wee now discharged. The prisoner seemed very thankful for his deUverasos, and in place of haughtiness the moat complete humility was exhibited. WOKINGIAAW, AND WOKING RAILWAY. —The directors' report states that the payment& oe capital account during the pest half -leer amounted to 1154 far unsettled land claims. Thedebentures amounted to 87,2504, of which the sum of 4,rz01. was at 5 per cast., 8,1404 at 41 per cent., and 73,560/. at 4 par conk During the half year debentures for 23,4901. had been renewed at 41 per oat., and 1 , 0001 . at 41 per cent. Although th e goo d s traffic had slightly increased, in comparisoo with the corresponding period of last year, there wu a dee-nose of 80.71, in the gross receipts foe pasengers.

In reply to a question sto who would provide schools for children under the ball-time system, Mr. Baker said he supposed schools were already provided. It was remarked in reply to this that the schools in thedistrict were already full ; and it was further said that the teachers and ebildree of many of the preset schools would object to receiviug half-time tescheneed chil dren in their schools, especially is their working drewi.

ALVA: was received melamine a sample of the first crop of Sea Island sinks grown by the Queensland Cotton Growing Company, Bohn, on a block of land of 1,200 acres, satuated near the sea, and about 100 miles north of Brisbane. Notwithstanding the wet weather which had prevailed, a good crop was expected from about 15 scree, and with the requisite moms it is said that at lean 100 tales of the boast quality could be produced next year. The land is well adapted for growing cotton, mast of it being good moody soil, rear the oes coast, with sea breezes and a flowing tido, so that the land can be kept dry sad warm, which appears to be requisite, especially for SIG Island cotton. The directors in their last report, which was enclosed, express full confidence in the ultimate swan of the undertaking, which has already outgrown their anticipation. The object is to render each shareholder his own producer, oe his own freehold land, and there seems • reasoaable prospect of • crop of cotton by next Hay, worth 2,0001., with other produce in proportion. A letter was read from the Foreign office, enclosing a report from the Japan Herald, on the export of cotton from Japan daring the year 1863, showing an agTe amount or, of 33,187 bales, taking the weight at 1 pietas per bale, 58,078 The exports in last Ili 1111111U1S of 18ffi amounted to 24,539 bales, cam. prigs( about 4,000 bales of the new mop. No restriction appears to have been pat upon the supplies of cotton, although on several occasions there were rumours that the Japanese authorities would take measures to cur tail them, and there is reason to believe that the native dealers experienced some difficulties is bringing down the staple to Yokohama, which, however, the large profits made by them determined them to brave sod overonse. Mach more cotton has been planted than formerly, and it cannot be doubted that since the effect of the high prices lately ruling has born felt by the originl producers, their efforts will be redoubled to increase • crop so greatly in demand in the ports open to European cone. merce.

The whole of the Berra Kingdom is in profound pent. Upper and Lower Combo is full of nomads farmers actively sagged is agriculture.

With continued favourable weather wheat harvest has fairly oommenoed, and will likely be quite general the beginning of nest week throughout Scotland. A somewhat firmer tone has pervaded the trade within the lad day or two, and in some saws an advance of 3d. to 6d. for boll was obtained for American red wheat. Flour was stead and all spring corn oupported previous rates. At this day's market, which was thinly attended, the above noted advance was generally required for American red wheat, which shocked Wes, and only a moderato retail bagasse resulted at the improvement. Flour unaltered. Oats firm. New blab in request at 17s. 6d. to its, per Meths. for fins barmy qualities of white. Oatmeal brougbt perms prices. Barley steady, as also were beam and maiss.
