Tfie annual regatta of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.eommenoed this day, with every prospect of a bril liant meeting. Thb meeting, though following the re gatta of the Royal Yacht Squadron, can hardly be con sidered of secondary importance, inasmuch as the prizes are more valuable, and are thrown open to all coiner'. The programme of the meeting embraced, as a beginning, the annual general meeting of the members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, at the Club-home ; with the annual regatta dinner in the evening. Today there was a prize of 1001., open to schooners and yawls belonging to any Royal Yacht Club, the second vessel to receive a prize of 2.V. A second race for 100/., open to cutters and yawls belonging to any Royal Yacht Club, the second vessel to receive a prize of 25/. ; both to be time races, and the scale of Acker. to be adopted. On Wednesday, the Town Cup, value 100!., given by the inhabitants of the town of Hyde, for all yachts belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club ; also a time race on Ackers' scale. The annual ball at the Club-house in the evening. On Thursday, a handicap race of 2L 25., half forfeit, with 251. added, open to all yachts belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. On Friday there will be boat race., pig hunts, and a variety of other amusements, which never fail to draw together a large number of visitors. On Saturday, the ocean matches for the Commodore's Cup, of the value of 100!., given by the Commodore, Mr. Charles Thellusson, open to all yachts belonging to any Royal Yacht Club; to Le sailed for from Hyde to the west end of the Breakwater at Cher bourg. On Tuesday, August 21, *prize of 60/., given byMr. T. Broadwood, open to all yachts belonging to any Royal Yacht Club ; to be sailed for from Cherbourg to Hyde, entering by the east end of the island. The first inside the mark boat, moored with the pier, end on, to be the win ner. On Friday, 24th, a prize value 13d guineas, given by Mr. John Richardson, open to all yachts belonging to any Royal Yacht Club ; to be sailed from Hyde to Ply mouth. The first yacht inside the west end of the braik water to be the winner. From the above programme it will be seen that the amusements are not only ample, but most valuable, and as the town is now very full of company a brilliant week is expected. The island never presented • more perfect state of beauty, and the weather is all that could be desired. Yesterday at 1 o'clock the annual general meeting of the Royal Victoria Club took place at the Club-house ; Mr. CHARLES THELLUhSON, Commodore, in the chair. The report presented was most satisfactory, showing • large increase in the number of members since the last an nual meeting, and the funds were in a very satisfactory condition. The Right Hon. Lord Bemituiv, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to the town for the cup, presented by them to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, which was seconded by Captain KiNGsTON, and carried unanimously. Mr. LEECH moved a vote of thanks to the Commodore for hie liberality in giving prizes, his able conduct in the chair, and his earnest desire to promote in every way the interest and welfare of the club. This was seconded by Mr. BACON, and cartied unanimously. The Comeopotie returned thanks for the honour con ferred upon him, and after some routine business had been disposed of, the meeting adjourned. In the evening the annual dinner was held at the Club house, and the Commodore again presided. Mr. Lambert, the able and indefatigable steward, provided the repast, and the floral decoration of the tables was considered to be superior to anything ever witnessed on a similar occasion. The races for to-day were for schoenen and cutters, 100/. for each race •, 751. for the first vessel, and 251. for the second in each race. A time race, according to Acken's scale.

The schooners were started at half-past 10 precisely, the course being to the westward, with a quarter flood tide to the westward, with a W.N.W. breeze. The start was a very excellent one, but soon after the yachts had got away the Blue Belle reached over to the northward, fol lowed by the Aline, and the Gloriana cicse upon the quarter of the Aline. There was a good deal of tack ing down to the middle buoy of the Middle, the Blue Belle still keeping the lead, but on the return from the westward the Aline bad taken the lead, the Gloriana being second, the Blue Belle third, the Madcap fourth, the Witchcraft fifth, and the Ariadne sixth. There were about two mi nutes between the Alma and Gloriana, and the Blue Belle was about a minute astern of her ; the Madcap and the Witchcraft were about equal distances, two minutes astern of the Blue Belle, and the Ariadne was almost out of the race. The Madcap having carried away her maintopmast gave up after passing the pier. The lint round of the schooner race was completed, the Blue Belle having obtained the lead, the Aline second ; the Madcap gave up. The first cutters started at 11 o'clock, and the %Index and Fiona made a good start. The others were somewhat tardy in getting away. A good deal of jockeying went on down the western channel, but the time taken on the completion of the first round was as under : Vindex Fiona liimndetic Sphynz B. N.

The funds were raised by public subscription, the prizes being the most valuable ever offered for competition, including four chal lenge cups (with presentation prises) of the respective values of 31,01., 2001., 1001., and 601. For these prizes the entries were very few, owing to the lateness of the season, the I Eight-oared Champion Cup (:1301.) ending in a walk over for the London Bowing Club. The presentation races secured some good fields, there being no lass than eleven entries for the sculls, six for the metrojxditan pairs, five for the fours, but only two for the champion pairs. Next year the fixture will be made earlier in the season, when the racing will be greatly improved by the entry of some Kingston and Leander crews. GRouss.

The weather during the early part of the day was discouraging, but as the morning wore on it was more auspicious.

During the progress of an examination of witnesses in reference to a deed of arrangement, executed by a person named Dover, the validity of which was sought to be im peached, a remarkable scene occurred, by which some sen sation was caused. A witness was being examined when a policeman entered the room, and, having arrested him, requested him to accompany him to the station-house to answer a charge of embezzlement. The registrar was appealed to, and he intimated to the policeman that the witness was under the protection of the court, and free from arrest. The party preferring the charge told the policeman that if he did not do his duty he would be held answerable for the consequences. A somewhat unseemly collision now appeared likely to ensue, and the policeman was threatened with committal fur contempt of court if he persisted in his illegal proceedings. To this the man in blue replied that he knew his duty and in tended to execute his warrant, as the man was " wanted" for felony. The witness declined to accompany the o ffi cer, insisting that he was protected, and the policeman was told he would have to carry his prisoner, if he meant to take him—a suggestion which he seemed disposed to carry out, when Mr. Commissioner Ifolroyd was applied to upon the subject. His Honour, after giving the matter his best consideration, declined to interfere, and the policeman, having been warned that he would be reported to Colonel Fraser for exceeding his duty, said that that would be cleared up afterwards, and at length persuaded his unwil ling captive to accompany bim peaceably to the station house. The sitting was then brought to an abrupt termination. MIDLAND RAILWAY. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT. -GUILDFORD, ArGUST 14. Mr. Justice Wiles has been engaged the whole of the day in trying the special jury cause , the " Glamorgan Iron and Coal Company v. Irvine, " which was adjourned from the previous evening. Mr. Baron Channel] has disposed of the whole of the remaining common jury cases, except two, which will be disposed of probably early to-day (Wednesday.) The remaining special jury causes will then be in the hat for trial in both courts, but some of them are said to be long cases, and the sauces will in all proba bility not be brought to a close until the end of the week. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NoRwien, Arousr 13. (Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at Derby yesterday; Mr. W. E. Hurcemsox, chairman of the company, presiding. The report and statement of accounts, abstracts of which have already appeared in our journal, were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said the receipts from the traffic of the half-year just ended were very satisfactory, showing as they did the large increase of nearly 125,000 f. This in crease was spread over all the branches of traffic, except the cattle department, which showed a decrease a between 5,0001, and 6,0001. He had explained the causes of the decrease at the last meeting, and , the same causes still continued to operate. The shareholders would observe with satisfaction that the receipts from the carriage of minerals showed an increase of something more than 21,000/. ; and this would be the more grati fying, as the receipts during the preceding half-year showed a decrease of about 6,0001. The report and accounts showed that the total amount of traffic for the half year was somewhat is excess of that published in the weekly returns, in explanation of which he said that dis putes had arisen with regard to the division of the English and Scotch traffic. The London and North Western and the Great Northern Companies gave notice to the Clearing house Committee to suspend the traffic until some agree ment could be come to. In the meantime the Midland Company, after exhausting all other means of obtaining an adjustment of their claims, instituted a suit in Chancery against the other companies. These proceedings occupied considerable time, and the fund accumulated to something over 700,0001. The Clearing-house Committee not likin‘ to have the custody or investment of so large a sum, divided 25 per cent., of what had been called the undisputed traffic, among the various companies entitled to it, reserving 75 per cent., and the whole of the disputed traffic, to abide the decision of the Court of Chancery. That decision was given two or three weeks ago in favour of the Midland Company upon all the points raised, and there was reason to believe that the other companies would not appeal from that decision. Under those circumstances, the directors considered that, as they had taken no credit for this amount, they were perfectly justi fi ed in crediting the accounts of the half-year with their portion of the undis puted traffic ; and that accounted for the excess in the accounts over the weekly receipts published. The decision of the Vice-Chancellor gave that company more than 100,000/., all of which was due to the revenue ; but they had only taken 25,4001., leaving the remainder to be dealt with at some future time. Turning now to the expenditure side of the accounts, he wished he could snake as satisfactory a statement with regard to the expenses as he trusted he had done with regard to the receipts. They had hoped to be able to declare • divi dend after the fame rate as that declared in the corre sponding half of the year 1805, but they had been disap pointed, from causes which he would endeavour to explain. It arose partly from the large increase in the salaries and wages throughout the several departments, especially in the works, traffic, and locomotive departments ; then they had had to pay an increased price for materials ; and the stringency which had prevailed in the money market had prevented them from borrowing money on such favour able terms as they had done formerly. These causes had affected nearly every other company, and had interfered with the dividends everywhere. The lamentable accident which occurred last year to an excursion train, and the consequent cost in the payment of claims for com pensation, was another cause. Up to the 30th June last the amount paid in compensation was 34,000/. and there were still a few claims unsettled. In comparing the dividend now proposed with that which was declared in the corresponding half of last year it should be borne in mind that they had now to pay the reserve dividend on the A and B 5 per cent. preferen tial shares, which they had not to pay in the corresponding half of last year. The amount required for that purpose was 285,000/. They had also had to pay interest or dividend, or both, upon the unproductive capital which had been expended since June, 1865. That unproductive capital amounted to the very large sum of pretty nearly three millions of money, notwithstanding which they were able to afford a dividend upon the open stook within sa. per 100/. share of that which was declared last year. (Hear, hear.) As a large shareholder in the open stock of the company be considerei that a very cheering feature in their accounts, because when that large amount of dormant capital should become productive by the opening of new lines, there must, of necessity, be a considerable rebound in their revenues. (Hear, hear.) After mentioning that the new lines—the Rowsley and Buxton Extension, the Fur man and Midland Hallway, and the Duffield and Wirks worth Railway—were nearly completed, and would be opened about October, the chairman observed that their parliamentary campaign had been a most successful one, as they had obtained legislative sanction to all the bills pro moted by the company, and to nearly all the bills pro moted by the company in conjunction with other companies. It would be unwise to pledge themselves never to apply for any more new lines, because there was sense filling up to be done, coal branches and short connections were still wanted, which would not involve that large out lay of capital with which they had been so familiar of late. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then formally moved the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, which was seconded by Mr. Pluck:, M.P., deputy chairman, and carried unani mously. The several resolutions declaring the various dividends as recommended were then passed, and the proceedings terminated after a brief discussion. LE 13TRANGE V. BOWL - - Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. Bulwer, (.C., and Mr. Douglas Brown were counsel for the plaintiff • and Mr. Keane, Q.C. and Mr. Merewether for the defendant. The action was brought by the lord of the manor of Snettieham, and of the hundred of Smithdon, to try his right to the seashore between high and low water mark for a diatance of many miles of the north-west coast of Norfolk. A large masa of documentary evidence commencing with a confirmation by Edward 111. of a charter of William Rufus, was read to show that the holders of the manor and hundred possesaeil shore rights by virtue of grants from the crown, of wreck of the sea, anchorage, and grotindage ; and proofs of user of those and sirar rights for more than a undred years was adduced in suppoit of the documentary testimony. The defendant chiefly relied on a grant by King James L to the corporation of Lynn of Admiralty rights. His Lordship having summed up, the jury almost imme diately returned a verdict for the plaintiff. NORTHERN CIRC U IT. —LrvEs.rooL, Auc usr 14. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron Martin.) MANSLAUGHTILA BY A MOTHIIi Mary Barton was indicted for the manslaughter of her infant child. Mr. Tidswell prosecuted, and Mr. Torr defended the prisoner. In June last complaints were made relative to the treatment adopted by the prisoner towards her children, and when a police officer visited her house, he found an infant jammed between the bed-post and the wall. It was much emaciated, and died in the workhouse from exhaustion. The jury found the prisoner silty, and she was sentenced to nine months' imprison ment with hard labour. Nist Palca Counr.—(Before Mr. Justice Lush and a Special Jury.) ACTION AGAINST TAB " LIVERPOOL MERCURY." The case of " Reynolds and another v. Smith and an other " was tried to-day. During the recent panic the editors of the Ltrerpuol Mercury, in their commercial article, published a list of firms which they described as having suspended payment, and in this list was included the firm of Reynolds, Mann, and Co., merchants (of Liver pool), who had not suspended. For the plaintiffs it was stated that a very great injury had thus been done to them, and they accordingly laid their damages at 15,0001. On the part of the defendants it was argued that they merely copied the list in question from a trade journal published in London, without any malice whatever. As soon as they learnt the error they bad accidentally com mitted, they made the amplest possible apology at the earliest moment. The case was settled by a verdict for the plaintiff for 1001., the defendant consenting to renew the apology. In this case the Attorney-General and Mr. Balker were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall, Q.C., for the detai -1 dants. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.

ALARMING ACCIDENT ON A RACECOURSE. —Y es terday afternoon, during the running for the Wolver hampton Stakes, a fearful accident happ e ned, by which several persons have been injured so seriously as to be taken as patients to the South Staffordshire General Hos pital in Wolverhampton. The accident happened at ten minutes past four o'clock, when some thirty thousand people were at the highest pitch of excitement consequent upon the coming in of the horses in the race. Near the winning-post was a temporary ',tend. upon which about five hundred spectators had purchased standing places. The occupants seemed to be intensely interested in the issue of the race, and like the rest were cheering and waving their hats. Suddenly, with a terrible crash, the whole fabric gave way, end its occupants fell to the ground. The structure was composed of seven tiers of timber planks fastened to uprights by ropes, and the cen tres being supported upon cross timbers. The injuries sus tained by some were so shocking that but little hope is ex pressed of their recovery. Amongst the spectators in the adjacent grand stand were the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, Sir Robert Peel, Bart., the Earl of Stamford and Warring ton, Sir Henry Johnson, and other noblemen. FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER AT DUMBARTON.—Ahout 6 o'clock on Sunday evening, an ex plosion of gunpowder occurred in a dwelling-house near Crosslett, involving serious injury to seven or eight of the inhabitants, and the probable death of one or more. The house ia in the neighbourhood of a whinstone quarry, and the foreman and a few of the labourers reside in the house, the former being married and having a wife and six children. The quarrying is carried on by bleating, and, unfortunately, the foreman for some time kept the powder in a barrel in his dwelling-house, although a place was provided for storing it outside. On Sunday evening some of the children in the house had been amusing themselves with lucifer matches close to where the powder (about 121 b.) lay, when the dangerous material caught fire and ex ploded, blowing a great portion of the roof of the house into the air, and leaving the whole building, which consisted of two apartments above and three below, in a mass of ruins. Four families, two above and two below, were in the house at the time, and consisted of thirteen adults and nine children, the greater number of whom are more or less injured. The foreman's wife and four of his children have been frightfully burned and disfigured, and are in a very dangerous state, some of them being completely blind. A number of the inhabitants of the upper fiats of the building were precipitated headlong to the ground floor, and one of the children was blown out at a window. FALL OF THE Root AT PRESTON RAILWAY STATION.—Shortly before three o'clock yesterday afternoon, a portion of the roof of the Preston Railway station fell in, with a tremendous crash. The condition of the station has been complained of for years, and the Preston corpora tion Wive time after time sought to induce the owners— the London and North Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Companies—to improve or remove it. It was the roof of the eastern sideof the station that gave way. Glass was hurled in all directions, iron girders were throws about, pieces of wood were torn in pieces, booking-office windows were smashed, and a length of roof measuring about 40 yards ' was completely demolished. At different parts of the day large numbers of persons occupy the seats upon which the debris fell, and if the accident had taken place a little later, it is probable that the loss of human life would have been great. As it was, a woman was very badly cut in the head, and a pointsman had a narrow escape. CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE San. uxa DAY. .

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. T. Chambers, Q.C., M.P., Common Serjeant. George Johncione, 35, a well-dressed man, was indicted" for stealing a quantity of valuable jewellery and silver plate to the value of upwards of 4001. in the dwelling house of Mr. H. Whitmore, M.P. Mr. Ribton and Mr. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Humphreys and Morgan, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Pater, instructed by Mr. Scarth, of Wolbeck-street, Cavendish-square, defended the pri soner. The indictment was remitted from the Middlesex Sessions to this court. The cue occupied the court a considerable time, but the circumstances may be briefly stated. On the 6th July last, at about one o'clock, the prisoner drove up in a Hansom cab to the residence of the prosecutor, No. 68, Eaton-place, Belgravia, and knocked at the door, which was opened to him by the footman, William Cooke.
