TO THS soma or TEI EXPRESS. gin, —lnundated as we were with plating at the mouth coast meetings, whereby five bustling days' racing were made up, neither Brighton nor Lewes went off tamely ; on the contrary, many thrilling incidents oc *erred, the " gentlemen " having their eyes opened in a way not by any means pleasant. But for the throw in at Goodwood, their Sumer tour would have been a most clis. astrone one ; and it was expensive enough as it turned ant, such "dead certainties" being beaten at Brighton that the Ring positively shrieked with joy at last ; when the beim-defeated Philosopher bowled over two tre mendous '' pots" like Seesaw and Contempt. It was bad sough that some of the supposed " open " races should Mee flamed the talent, but for the new St. Leger favourite, Van Aniburgh, to knock under to Trocadero, sad all caleulations about well-known twolear-olda to be lappet, was rather too bad, and the result of the Cup in favour of Monkey insteadof Lecturer, again, did not please the slmy. This latter issue, however, was not al *pother unexpected, for independently of the little Celsterdale having been easily defeated by the old horse at Chester and Bath, and run behind him again at Hunting don, he had a fourth time to be excused, like the school boy, with a " sick note," and when be is to revenge the four reverses is hard to tell now. He was not even second best, Tynedale being honoured with that unenviable dis tinction; but beaten so very far, with the cowardly Regalia, as to take a lot of the gilt off Vauban's Goodwood Cup performance, the probability being that, if Marksman can only be got right, the Derby result—Hermit first, Marks man second, sod Vauban third—will be confirmed at Don caster, a, it was so correctly in Lord Lyons' and Blair Athol's years ; fur Van Amburgh cannot be trusted much after his defeat by Trocaderm below himself as he palpably was. The two year old running was interesting as it was exciting, Contempt's stalling off of Banditto, Veda's de fmt of Speculum, and then her " form " with fies-mor Contempt, and P hilosopher, teaching those with Derby books some strange lessons. Emma", were found for the two first-named " mistakes," Banditto 'a temper, and De. Lys not "coming along " with Speculum fast enough out of the dip, I wing set down as the cause of their reverses ; hut to see Veda fairly beat Contempt and Seesaw in the Plate won by Philosopher was quite another matter, and it looks all true after Ninny's dead heat with Seesaw at Loves, where Orion also lost his prestige, both be and Margery Day's son having to mend their manners considerably to bold up their beads again in Derby (No tations. The whole week's business tended to strengthen the reputation of Lady Elizabeth, as Lennie must be re tewned (tended'y the hest juvenile performer after beating Orion and Speculum. with old Volunteer, the latter only giving her 351 b.—which amount, within 41b., Confederate gave Philosopher with ease on the Brighton Cup day. Sur prisingly improved as Captain Machell's new aoNisition may be since he beat the Shrew a head, he cannot be classed with the evergreen son of Alarm yet, and there is just the chance he did not beat the Philosopher on his merits, wicked people saying the latter wan " not wanted " when he did win. But whenever he is really in earnest, he will give a good account of himself, there being all the material for J. first claw; horse about him. From be ginning to end some strong insinuations were thrown out about some of the Sussex " performers ' "and a certain few, envious of the way Tipthorpe managed to get two atone in hand for the Steward's Cup at Goodwood, will doubtless make bolder efforts than ever to beat the handi capper for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, the " tre mendous " entries for which have just made their appear. ante, but it is to be hoped they will be grievously disappointed, and have to bite their nails in the winter, regretting they did ant "spin " while such horses as Challenge and Paul Diver were doing clever things, and Monlaey winning long Cup recto. Old Pearl Diver was the hero of a strange performance played at Lewes, where, in the race for the principal handicap, two miles, some of the jockey. mistook the track soon after starting, and wed a much shorter cut than the others. Of these, Man drake was first home, after a slashing race with Dr. Ztietir, and when the judge had announced their • gs, he viewed the mond body racing home, so , suspecting something was radically wrong, he remained in the box and operated upon them also, placing Pearl Diver first and Julius second. Some time after this, and, lo! there is another claimant, Pirate Chief, plodding how. through the crowd, and his jockey (a lad brought up at Drewitt'a, and consequently on his own ground) maintaining only he had gone right. All were in the wrong box at one time, even Fordhazo, who served au apprenticeship under Drewitt, having to retrace his way on Julius ; but this was caused by his horse hang ing and taking him on the wrong side of a post, and he rectified matters by making a detour as soon as possible, a "tip" taken by the riders of Rania, Pearl Diver, Miss Havelock, the Maid of Maaham filly, and Pirate Chief, the latter of whom was piloted considerably further back than the others. No one seemed to know what bad gone meetly the right course, and the stewards took the fairest steps. available for ending the matter satisfactoril; y ordering the nice to be run over again. This singularly, as fortunately, resulted in Pearl Diver being first again, and Mandrake second, and hence no one could complain at the ruling of the steward*, for it was as palpable the young one had not gone the course, as that Pearl Diver would have won the race the first time under any circumstances. Few thought be had a race left in him, after what be did at Winchester ; nevertheless, the feather got him home, and it was no disgrace for Julius to run within two lengths of him, with some three stone the worst of the weights, though how many he beat who will be up to the mark before the "back end" is another matter. It was a fatal race altogether for early backers, whose pet ?Amalie, Eyesore, and Little Ben were all afflicted with the " scratchems "at the finish, whilst their "certainty if it runs," Miss Havelock, went ominously back from 4 to 1 to 15 to 1 at the Mart. Plenty of opportunities will be afforded this week to pave the way for getting horses well in the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. as the handicapper cannot be at Wolverhampton, llghain, Oxford, and Stockton all at once. He will probably be taking his notes at the home meetings, and leave the Fates to watch at Wolverhampton and the far north gathering. In the black country there are not so many handicaps, and very few good horses in the chief one, which looks like resulting in Honeymoon (fit 11db) and Moose (7st 21b) taking first and second money, the latter having been beaten by Challenge a neck, conceding ne, while the filly ran the same horse to a head, reeeiving 21h, so that the old one has slightly the best of it. In the Staffordshire Nursery Beauty and Menden/en may go well together ; and not to stand by Ninny or Speculum—whichever does battle for the Duke of Newcastle—in the Ninth Biennial would be bad judgment, useful as the Earl and Lady Highthom may be over longer distances than this half mile, which will snit Torch better than herstable-eompanion. On the second day (Wednesday) Cliff has La Monett. and lJneari (each 816 extra) in the Chillington ; and as See Saw, Formosa, and Banditto might be absentees after their resent doings, with Lord Stamford's pair also, the best will be hard for -form d'Relat (allowed 31b). Dulcet (allowed 31b), Belphe gor (31b extra), Balsam (Mb extra), Vex (51b extra), and Orion (Mb extra), to get over. The latter ran badlyat Lewes, but might do better in this company, having Coup d'Eclat safe through Pyrenees, and this filly is superior to an else barring VOCAL The Eighth Biennial is for three year olds, with the Rescue, Muter Willie, Eyesore, Via, °pommies, and Little Rover for the pick of the two wore entered ; and Opoponax reads the most like winning of those likely to be wanted. The Cleveland Cup is at the mercy of Monkey ; and the Holyoake, the only minor affair to touch upon, has East Lancashire and Goo jerat looking well. ligham clashes with Wolverhampton, but will not thereby suffer injury, as it is more of a holiday meeting, so much so, at any rate, that the minor affairs will attract little attention, and I shall only deal with the principals. Philosopher has no extra weight to carry in the King jobs Stakes, and ought to win, notwithstanding he gives the Mariner 81b and Milton 51b, La Belle Jeanne, Cecil, Witchcraft, Thorndyke, and Patti be' hardly of so good a class ; nor has Volunteer or King Charming any too much in the Duke of Edinburgh Cup, though the former lies an easier task in the Princess of Wales's Stakes. Benevolence and Thorndyke were put about as " cer tainties " for the Brighton Nursery, but did not run, and should the baron's handicap be mother case of " no go," and Mr. P. Hobson's Epigram be prevented starting, it will be hard to find one in that case, Citron and Mariner being the best performers after Epigram. In the Surrey and 1 Middlesex Handicap, the jade La Dauphine looks about the beet to stand, and backers may have to look to Mr. Ten Broeck for the winner of the two and three year old Handicap Sweepetakes, Midwife having only a Mb penalty, with Chantilly hi at fist 101 b. The Oxford programme will be hardly worth looking at until Egham is over, the only opinion I lan advance upon it being that recent running points sig nificantly to Eyesore for the Oxfordshire Stakes, Volun teer for the County Members' Plate, Crown Prince for one or two short rues, Pyrenees or Coup d'Eclat for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, and Beauty and Hatchment far the Stratton Audley Nursery. OnWelnescley,Thursdey, and Friday they bold their meet ings% Stockton-on-Tees when some interesting two and three year old raoes will be decided,besides some handicapsworth picking up. These latter, however, being for horses that tam not been performing lately, had better not be touched except by those on the spot, York being too close at head for the best to run in all cases ; and my attention shall be confined to the weight for apnoea. Of these there is the Tenth Biennial for Fervacques to fight out against Romp ing (Jul.r his only advantage being that he stays the best ; and the Cleveland Stakes will surely not come south, through the 91b penalised Europa, without a struggle. She may be good enough for Fobert's La, Mousse, or Frolicsome, each 71b extra; but Richmond will be really and truly in the field if Proctor is half the horse folks say he is. This latter oolt is aim in the Huil a:deka Stakes and Lunbton Plate on the second day, with Buttercup, another of Watson's thought highly of. In the latter case, nevertheless, Europa has no penalty to carry, so that she looks like • winner; and for the Hard- wick. only one of the south-country cracks has to run, Ironnuotter, to deserve the confidence of all who like to be on a good horse, his Bib allowance being an immense pull. For the Great Northam Se. Luger Tyndale ought te heat THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1867.

LIMES incrrnal.--SATranar. The *mei fortnight was concluded on saturday with the second day of Mr. Vercelli popular meeting on the Southdown, and as will be seen, the principal race of the meeting—the Lewes Handicap—le ito one of the most extraordinary Incidents In the Maury of racing. With a card containing no fewer than nine rum an early start was necessary ; and accordingly the first race was set for half-put 12 o'clock, at which hour there was a large amemblage on the course, the attendance being consider ably in excess of the opening day—the fine weather doubtless contributing to the Increase of the carriage company. The after noon was delightfully lee, and the fortnight was concluded under as satiates:tory ineteondoiffeal auspkes as It commenced. The Scurry Handicap, with which the sport commenced, pro duced lye runners. of whom Gladiator was made the favourite, old Confederate, who has proved himself recently almost Indif ferent to weight, being next in demand, despite that be carried the crushing impost of 134 $/b, which included a 71b penalty fora protestor's! jockey. Neither of the favourites, however, won, the race telling to the exateeplechmer The Plover, who was ridden by Mr. Blake. Betty, with her more valuable engage ment in the Nursery Stakes, was an absentee for the Juvenile :felling Stakes: consequently the " talent" betted odds on Retire inset, who won curdy enough. and was bought in for 206 guineas, Mr. Thanatos and the fund having the surplus over the • entered salt g price divided between them. Eight contested the Town Plate, and the issue was again in favour of the 'elected, Midwife achieving a clever neck victory from Sweet Boy. Mr. Ivn Brooch was successful In the gin Plate for all I ages, with Vandyke, who, after the race, realised 77 guineas at • auction, Mr. Hope being the purchaser, but Mr. Ten Broeck's stud was net reduced as he claimed Buckfoot. This race was succeeded by the Nursery, for which le of the 20 coloured went to the post, one more than last year, when the race was won by Julius, Challenge, the favourite, being second. No fewer than eleven of the lot on Saturday were tacked, Beauty and Lord Palmerton being In equal demand at 100 to 30, Paul Jones, Janet Itawalffe, Miss Uladiateur, and Adamant having the call a the remainder, whom Ratty headed In the quotations at 10 to I. Lord Westmorland's representative made the whole of the running, and won in the commonest of canters by three lengths from the Ge ,dwood Nursery winner, Paul Jones, Beauty flash lag third, whilst Lord Palnterston, the other favourite, felled to get nearer than tenth. The winner Is by Lambton out of Fern, the dam of Rama, and Butler had only to aft still to win. This would have been a rare turn-up fur the followers of Kenyon, but the fashionable light-weight was prevented from appearing in the saddle on account of Illness brought on by exesaive wast ing b. ride Tildhorpe at Goodwood. Betty won the Nursery Stake, at Hampton, but has been out several times since with out raceme. The Lewes Drawl Handicap succeeded the Nursery, being Seed for half-pat three o'clock. Little Ben was struck out at noon, and 62 minutes later the pen was put through the name of Zenohia. Lecturer and Regalia were absentees, and Rune, last years winner, carded the top weight. Julio.. however, being made the favourite, 4 to 1 being offered on the field. Rama was second in demand, and Pearl Diver, who was last year schooled for steeplechasing, next. This was before the extraordinary race took place. The competitors g o t to the poet in due time, and were despatched hi capital order, but • few minutes before the appointed time. After about a quarter of a mile of the Journey had been covered, great constersatkos was caused by several of the rearward horses milling up and retracing part of the ground. They came in acne rated at wile interialli, m twos and threes. Mandrake, Dr. Syntax, and Knight Errant passed the post get, and their numbers were hoisted. A few minutes after the three mentioned with the Lizard. Isabella. and the Hoehn:es, had pleased the post, Pearl Diver, Julius, and Rama raced home, the first named winning by two lengths. These three numbers were also hoisted, and the judge immediately left the box. Then came Miss Havelock, who was followed by Use Maid of Mahout filly, some distance in her rear coming Pirate Chief, whose Jockey bad gone • further dis tance tack than any of the others, presuming that he alone had gone the right course. The stewards. all of whom were fortu nately present, inuncludely repaired to Mr. Verralls Mike to consider the question, meanwhile the greatest excitement pre. veiling unlade. The Marquis of Hastings, Lord Westmorland, Lord Mt. Vincent, and Mr. Payne undertook to hear evidence, and called In the assistance of Admiral Rona, the Duke of New castle, being an interested party, declining to take part in the dellieration. Mr. Thellusson claimed the race on behalf of Pirate Chief, asserting that he alone hail gone the right course, whilst Mr. Brayley claimed it for Pearl Diver. In Mr. Thel lesion's cue It was maintained that the judge had left the box when the horse pared the post. The evidence of Fordham, Custance, Norden, Mick, and Hudson, of the Jockeys, was taken, and Mr. Clark and Mr 11 - George wire also heard. After due 41011*r:1130n the stewards decided that it was no race, de claring it a false start, end ordering the race to be run off after the last race of the day, as In the case of dead heats. The decision seemed to give great satisfaction In the Hug. Accordingly the race was run again, but only eight of the fourteen originally weighed net conteetwi It, the absentees being Boo; Julius, Mit Havelock, Endaleigh, Maid of Masharn filly, and the Ward. Pearl Diver was favourite, and won in a canter by three lengths from Mandrake, the northern horse defeating Vixen a similar distance. Mr. Brayley backed his horse to win a good stake prior to the "false start. Rampart, the worst favourite of the three runners for the selling race, won with ease, and Lamle won the County Cup, defeating lyrhw. Volunteer, ellePW., and Speculum, the Duke of Newcastle's 114 being the absolute laid. The somewhat sensational day's racing was concluded with the Sussex Stakes, which p roduced a dead heat between See new and Ninny, the Marquis of Hastings' horse winning the deciding heat by three parts of • length.

Mr. Fellowes was the first to part company, being caught by Mr. Pepys off a slow : ten for M. The twelfth man was Captain Klngscote, whose first item was a tine on-drive oil Mr. Money for four ; M. Payne was also busl id maklng off etch bowler • th ree. When the pair bad conjoint got the score up to within three of the " century" Mr. Worms tried an over at Mr. Money's end, and with his sixth ball bowled Captain Kings cote. Mr. Payne took out his bat for 13, and the innings closed at 12.5 for 29. The bowling was as under :—Mr. Llpsoomb, 36 overs, 15 maidens, 39 runs, 4 wickets ; Mr. Dyke, 11 oven, 8 maidens, 7 runs: Mr. Money, 21 oven, 6 maidens, 43 runs, 5 wickets: Mr. Wormald, 6 Wtis, 1 maiden, for I wicket The gentlemen of Kent commenced their second innings at 12.25 with Moms. Ottawa) , and Money as their representatives The latter was first bowled to by Mr. ll'Cornick—a maiden—as was Mr. Ottaway by Captain Campbell,froru the opposite wicket. Off the fourteenth ball, Mr. Ottaway got one to short leg. In Mr. Sl`Cormick's next over, Mr. Money drove one back to him, which was splendidly fielded by that gentleman. Mr. Ottaway cut one of Captain Campbell a for two. and then Mr. Money drove Mr. M'Cormick to the onside for three : two byes were also run in this over, and • like number In that which followed. The fielding generally of the I. Z. was too close again this morning to allow of runs being made fast. Mr. Ottawa" , made a capital cut for two off Mr. M'Cormick, and It took just half an hour to put on the first 20. With the score at 24, Mr. Mitchell relieved Mr. II 'Cormlck, but Mr. Money got two to leg off his second hall. Mr. Ottaway of two balls of Captain Campbell's, each ter two to leg, dis posed the steadiness and judgment of veterans did these remit moieties, of Harrow and Eton continue to parry the attack of their old and mom experienced rivals, who at 29 instituted another change in the bowling, six., Mr. Fellows for Captain Campbell—Mr. Clayton taking the place of the former behind the wicket,. Mr. Fitzgerald now suffered an off-drive by Mr. Money off Mr. Mitchell to pass him for 3. Mr. Ottaway placed one of Mr. Fellowes's so judiciously that it got safely through the slips for 3, and the next bail Mr. Money hit well to leg to a like number. At the end of an hour 40 appeared on the Indicator, and then Mr. Fellows banded the hall over to Captain Campbell, and resumed his place behind the wicket. this change proved a judiciousone, for the third ball sent Mr. Ottaways bails eying. He made 19 by admirable play, which evoked, as it fully merited, general applause, in which the field joined heartily-1 for 46. Mr. H. A. Richardson followed, and began at once with a l to square leg off Mr. Campbell's remaining ball. Mr. Money now drove the captain we ll forward, and then Mr. M'Conuick took up the bowling again, and the very tint ball led to the retirement of the Harrow captain, who got Just outside his crease, and Mr. Fellows stumped him. His 25 was • faultless lasing*, indeed, i the performance of these young gentlemen constituted decidedly the beet cricket that had been exhibited during the week-2 ' for 54. Mr. Alexander now faced Mr. Richardson, acid made • fine hit to leg for tour off Captain Campben, and a cut for two ' off the following call. Mr. Bpencer Ponsonby was a wonderfully effective point. Mr. Richardson made • brace of cuts for two of Mr. Cormick This gentleman was in flue hitting form, and next drove Mr. M'Cormick for three to the booth on the on aide, and Mr. Alexander made • fin off-drive for four, in the same over, and this caused the elevation of 80 on the telenaph, and induced Mr. Mitchell to try again at his old end. Mr. Richardson "lifted" a ball of Captain Campbell's to long on for 3, and then cut the tint ball of Mr. Mitchell's over very hard, from which three resulted. At 20 minutes past 2 a cheer announced the elevatioo of 100. Mr. Rose just afterwards went on bowling ; Mr. Alexander made an early cut for two oft him, and Mr. Richardson au on drive for two off Mr. Mitchell. In the next over Mr. Alexander was beaten by a ball of Mr. Rose's. His 21 were all well got-3 for 104. Mr. Thornton now faced Mr. Richardson, and luncheon Intervened. Mr. Thornton waited well for • slow one of Mr. MN2orntick's, which he turned round at and nut away to leg for three. Captain Campbell went on again with the score at 109, and Mr. Richardson got a single off him. Mr. Thornton made • cut of him for two, and Mr. Richardson • hit to leg for four in the same over. In Mr. M'Cormlck's over 31r. Thornton drove him boldly to the off—a very fine hit—which Mr. Fitzgerald suffered to go between his legs to the boundary fur tour. At 124 Mr. Fellows resigned the gauntlets to Mr. Claytor, and went on bowling once more at Capta in . Campbell's end. Mr. Thornton got a four to leg by a ' flukey " hit. Then three wire credited to him off /fr. M•Cormla, two being stolen. Four byes were now booked from one of Mr. Fellows'" expremes." Now 140 went up, and the bowling of the " Wanderers " was got into a knot. Mr. Richardson next sent Mr. M'Cormick for 3 to leg, and repeated the operation in his next over. As no Waloftmmt could be effected Mr. Fellows again assumed the functions of "keeper," and Captain Rose tried again at 159, but his mooed bail Mr. Thoratou " cracked " away under the tree. Then Mr. Mitchell swayed to bowl once more. Mr. Thornton made • slashing kit off Mr. Rose tothe on aide, which landed in the clump of trees In the rear of the refreshment tent. Mr. Richardson made three threes In quick succession, and the score at 4 o'clock exhibited 164. At 170 Mr. Buller had • try, but Mr. Richardson cut his second ball for two. Mr. M'Cormick changed his end, then Mr. Rose superseded Mr. Buller at 185 with slows, and very speedily another Kentish cheer rung out when 200 were posted. The bitting now, especially that of Mr. Thorntm, as and turioue': —he drove Captain Rose clean over the ' arras," and then got Mr. 31"Cormick again to the on-side for four—another grand hit. His time was new come, as he put one up at cove-point, which was well judged and secured by Mr. Langley. The 64 of Mr. Thornton • was • fine free-hitting innings, ones tentatiously played, Including six fours, five threes, four twos, de., for which he was loudly applauded, and presented with a prize bat—four for 217. The I Zinger' had yet more young Kent blood to dissipate in the person of Mr. Yandley, the 1867 Rigby wicket keeper. Captain Campbell went on again, bet the hi continued unchecked, and was really a treat to witness, and sue as I Zingari will have cause to remember for many • long day. Mr. Mitchell went on tor the fifth time, and off the lad ball of ids first over Mr. Yandley was well caught by Mr. 'Ansley for a capitally played 24—six for 162. At th is time Mr. Richardson had made 87. There wee a fine company present during the afternoon, the weather being brilliant in the extreme, and the excellent band of the cavalry depot In atten dance. Mr. Dyke was Mr. Richardson's new associate, and began with • good on-drive for three off Captsin Campbell ; he soon showed he could hit as severely as his confreres. booking • four and • three off one over of the Captain's. Mr. Rich ardson also made • four off the same bowler's next over to the reporter's tent. Mr. Mitchell effected a parting by bowling Mr. Dyke's off stump when be had made 13—seven tor 286. Mr. Weldon joined Mr. Richardson, who now cut Captain Campbell to 3, which completed his hundred, and elicited a hearty cheer ; he subsequently got Mr. Mitchell to square leg for 3, and then Captain Campbell had the satisfaction of bowling him, atter play ing as tuilllantly • hit and well manipulated an innings of 103, including three fours, twelve threes, and fourteen twca, ea it has been our lot to witness for • long whfle-8 for 292.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. COWES, SATURDAY STEWING. The present regatta has been distinguished from its predecessors by the wiles of excellent competitions for the different prizes, for in no single instance c ou ld an opinion be fairly formed am to the remit more than a minute or two bdore the race was decided. This was:especially the case with regard to Earl Vane's prise. Having rounded the boat off Lepe, the Vanguard showed h er p ecu li ar powers of running, and began to overhaul the Fione, who, even with the allowance of time, only won by a minute and a few seconds. Vanguard, however, took the second prize, and Menai the third. The others were so far astern that they were not timed. Last night the Royal Yacht Squadron ball took place at the Castle, and it was numerously attended. On Monday (this day) the concluding race of the regatta will be for the Commodore's Cup, value 100 guineas, given by the Earl of Wilton, commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, for yachts belonging to any royal yacht club. The course is a somewhat long One, being from Cowes to the Shambles lightship, near Portland, returning from thence to the Ida of Wight, going round it, and returning to Cowen from the eastward. This course is about 120 miles in • direct line, but it may be lengthened by tacks to 140 or 150. The following yachts are entered for it : Cambria,lntrepid, Gelert, Albania°, Len, Condor Pantomine, Hirondelle, Volante, Nyanza, Vanguard, %trio, Fione, and Meaai. This ram wee ample opportunity of testing the seagoing qualities of the different vessels, and it is not expected to be finished until Tuesday morning.

BROWN V. LEO. This was an action of rather a remarkable character. The plaintiff claimed compensation from the defendant for loss he bad sustained by reason of his having refused to carry out an agreement far the sale of a public-house for 2,0001. ; aad the latter pleaded that at the time he made the alleged agreement his mind was excited by drink, and that he did not know what be was about, and was therefore inoompetent to enter into any contract of such a nature. Mr. MOntaam Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Prune were for the plaintiff, and Serjeent Parry and Mr. Murphy for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action had formerly kept the Bee hive public-house at Walworth, but at the time in question he was out of business, and was looking out for another public-house. On the 25th of March last it appeared that he went out for • ride with a Mr. Parker, public-house broker and valuer, partly for pleasure, and partly to see if he could find • house that was likely to suit him. About 5 o'clock they ar rived at the house of the defendant, who is the landlord of the Queen and Prince Albert Tavern at Knightsbridge, and during the evening a conversation took place about the plaintiff wanting a house, and it was alleged that the defendant offered to let him have the Queen and Prince Albert for 2,000/. An agreement was at once drawn up by Mr. Parker, the terms of which were that the plaintiff was to give the defendant 2,0001. for the goodwill of the house and the lease, and he also undertook to give him, in addition, the half of any amount that he might be entitled to as compensation in the event of the premises being re- Twired for any public improvements in the neighbourhood. he plaintiff admitted that he and Mr. Parker had been to several taverns during the ride, but he stated 'positively that all the party were perfectly sober, and that the de fendant quite understood all that took place, and said that after the bargain had been concluded the defendant took him into the conoert-room and introduced him to the company as the future landlord, and at the same time told them that they could see that he was a very portly man and very good looking. The agreement was roduosd, but before it oonld be read the plaintiff had to pay • fine of 10/., which is the usual course. It was then read, and was to the effect above stated, but the signature of the defendant was pointed out to the jury by his counsel as being evidently written by • man who was drunk and did not know what he was doing. The plaintiff went a few days afterwards, according to ar rangement, to pay 100/. as a deposit , but the defendant altogether repudiated the alleged bargain and declared that he had never entered into any agreement to sell his house, or that if he had, he did not know what he was about at the time. In the course of the case evidence was given that the house in question was worth 2,7001., and that the de• fendant had himself given 2,600/. for it not very long before, and the plaintiff admitted that if he could have purchased the house for 2,0001. he should have made a very good bargain. Serjeant Parry, in behalf of the defendant, urged that it was perfectly monstrous that such an action should have been brought. He said that at the time in question the defendant had no idea of selling his house, but the fact was that the parties were all drunk, and they were chaffing and talking upon the subject of their business, and the defendant made some foolish offer, which the plaintiff ought not to have taken any notice of, still less to attempt to enforce by a solemn action in a court of law. He then called as witnesses the wife of the defendant, his two bar- maids, and Mr. Parker, whose evidence fully established the condition of all the parties to the alleged agreement. The defendant himself wee also examined, and upon the agreement being ahown to him he said he had not the least recollection of having signed it. He remembered nothing about the supposed sale of his house. Mr. Justice Blackburn, in summing up, expressed his opinion that the proceeding was not • creditable one to any of the parties and he thought it would have been much better if the action had never been brought. The jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. money for all but two. The company owed him 6001., and he had only received 10a. from them from first to last. The witness was cross-examined at great length, and some voluminous correspondence put in, from which it appeared that the defendants and Mr. Craig had conducted the affairs of the company, and had delivered the shares to Delavijerie. The latter was suspended in June, but at that time he had already sent in his resignation. For the defence, it was contended that the defendants had only taken up the affairs of the company in the hope of retrieving its fortunes and paying the clerks, but that they did not intend to make themselves directors, and were indeed not qualified, inasmuch as they had never had anhares. Mr. Heiner was recalled, and dosed that there bad bean no list of shareholders until after these proceedings were commenced, when one was made for fear of further proceedings. It was made up from the list of the seven original members who signed the articles of association, and the annterfoila of the shares given to M. Delavijerie. There were no other shareholders. Mr. Ribton contended that the defendants were directors in a sense to render them amenable to this act, and that they were also liable to be charged with false pretences. He denounced the whole of their proceeding. as tainted with fraud, and said this was precisely the sort of ease contemplated by the act. Mr. Flowers, after hearing the arguments at great said he was inclined to say that they were directors, whether they had knowingly and wilfully broken the law was open to consideration. He took time to consider his judgment. . CLIIMKENWYLL. George Lowe, aged 53, an engineer, of 27, Queen's Arms buildings, Metropolitan Cattle Market, was charged before Mr. Cooke with feloniously cutting and wounding Mr. C. Hood, an engineer, of 15, Stanley-buildings, St. Pancras and and assaulting W ill iam Hill, one of the officers appointed by the corporation of the city of London, with intent to do them grievous bodily harm. The complainant, whose face and ears bore marks of violence, said—" I know the defendant by working with him. I went to his apartments to tea with him yesterday afternoon at his invitation. There was an altercation about the defendant's child, and I said I should not like my child beaten. He said, ' Oh, you take my wife's part,' and further said, 'I suppose she has been going with Ton.' I said. 'lf you say that I shall go and he said, So you may.' The defendant's wife said, 'Do not go, for my life is in danger,' and the defendant immediately took his wife by the shoulders and put her out. He then locked the door and put the key somewhere, and he then took up a carving -knife, and made a thrust at ms and struck me. I took hold of the knife and cut my hand. I threw him on the bed and took the knife from him, and threw it behind the bed. He took up another knife and attempted to stab me, and I took it from him and threw it through the window. The defendant then took up another knife and two forks and attempted to stab me again and I wrestled with him, and whilst we were wrestling one of the forks pierced my ear. Seeing that I WAS too strong for him, I said, ' You bad better let me go out,' and he then made a stab at me and struck me on the bosom. I struck the defendant after he had stabbed me." William Hill, an officer of the Cattle Market, said:- " On Fiidayafternoon, about 4 o'clock, I was called to the defendant's apartmenta, and saw the previous witness bleeding from the hand and the ear. When I went to the defendant's door sad told him that the police were there, he said, 'The first man that comes in I will kill.' I told him to cool his temper, and then I attempted to get in. The door was partly open, and the defendant made a cut at me with • knife, and he cut my hand, and I lost a quantity of blood." Polioe-constable Edward Manton, 451 A, said he saw the defendant cut the last witness. Mr. George Tate, surgeon: having deposed that the wounds were not of a serious character, the defendant said he should reserve his defence. Mr. Cooke committed him to the Central Criminal Court for trial. Lord Wedmor!and'sßstty, lv lanablos—lira 1 1111..Bodinnan's Paul Jon;se Mr. J. Wood's Beauty Thirteen others also ran.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, formerly a wine merchant of Crosby Hall, City, but now of Lincolier inn -fields, " agent," to recover 361. 6s. for wine supplied to the defendant, a gentleman residing near Manchester. Mr. Kemp was for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Serjesnt Bal lantine for the defendant. The plea was payment, and the defendant opened the case. Mr. Smyth, of 61, Gracechurch-street, his solicitor, proved payment to plaintiff's present solicitors, Messrs. Gibbs Tucker, and Mackreth, and produced their receipt, and a lio their application for payment. Plaintiff said he had never authorised his solicitors to apply for the money, though be admitted he had heard of the payment some months afterwards. Mr. Serjeant Salentine denounced the action as an attempt to extort double pament of an account, and the jury found immediately for t he defendant. Mr. Justice Blackburn—This is the moat impudent action I ever saw cbrought into a court of justice, and I have seen a good many. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NoRwicu, Auausr 10. Mr. Justice Ryles to-day disposed of the remsining busi ness in the crown court, the details of which were unlit for publication. The only ease on the civil side was over at about one o'clock, and concluded the business of the circuit. CIiCENALL V. THR MAYOR, EC., OF THETFORD. Mr. Keane, Q.C., Mr. Bulwer, Q.C., and Mr. Mere. wether appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. D. Brown, and Mr. B. L O'Malley for the defendants. This was one of a series of actions against the cor poration of Thetford, to recover oompensation for injury to lands adjoining the river Brandon, or Lesser Ouse, in eonsequence of the overflowing of that river, which it was alleged resulted from negligence on the part of the defendants. The plaintiff was tenant, under Mr. Ancerstein, of some land adjoining the river, in the parish of Wasting-with•Brombill, neer Thetford. and he chimed 130 f. for the injuries to his land. The main question between the parties was, whether in point of law, certain statute; imposed upon the defendants the duty not only of maintaining the river in a fit state for navigation, but also of keeping up the banks and clearing out the weeds and deposits of earth, so as to prevent the river from overflowing and flooding the adjacent lands. At the close of the plaintiff's case Mr. °Walley admitted that the weeds had not been cut ea as to render the drain age efficient and that the river had silted up, the e ff ect of which would be to cause it in coursed t im e to overflow its banks ; but he contended that the corporation were in no way responsible for this, and that they were only bound to keep up the river in a lit state for navigation. It was thereupon agreed that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, with leave to the defendants to move to set it aside and enter a verdict for the defendants or a uncut if the court should be of opinion that on the admitted facts the plaintiff was not entitled to recover.

All his conversa tions were mostly with Mr. Craig, the others being generally present. On that occasion he said, in their presence, that they had joined the company as directors, and that they were satisfied with all the arrangements that he had made in Paris, and • fortnight afterwards he received a letter from Mr. Craig to • similar effect. He went round with the directors to inspect the various establishments. He received 10s. in money and 1,0001. worth of shares, the certificates of which he produced. Some of the certificates were for 101., 201., and 501. These were paid to him as part of the purchase money for the contract, which was his own property, and for the c =se re t borrowing to defray Lrapdentleass: and d to be sold if that he might e have be wan ted them.

WOOLWICH, Aucuar 11. VOLUNTEER ATTACK AND DEFENCE OF WOOL WICH DOCKYARD.—Yesterday afternoon about 8,000 per sons assembled at the dockyard to witness a sham fight at that establishment, the tactics being intended to represent an attack and defence on a very extensive scale. The Fisgard flag-ship and other vessels in harbour were drawn up opposite the barbette battery, with a strong force of seamen and marines to cover the attempt of the seellgg party, and the battery itself, with the whole line of gni* age, was defended by the Dockyard Brigade of Volineser Artillery, and the 21st (Royal Arsenal) and Charlton Olirps of Rifle Volunteers. The firing with heavy guns Horse and continuous for more than one hour both the battery and the heavily-armed vessels.

It is rather an effort to steady the market than to get an advance. except for goads made from American cotton. and for these a slight advance is attempted. Generally speaking, however, tiebacks business. In yarns the line spinning' of Bolton have been in better request to counts from gO's upwards. Fine home trade yarns are easier of sale and lime, ; and of the lower count. STs twist and 20's weft and upwards are in better request, where no advance Is sought.

A fair busi ness has also been done Is Jacconete ; but In printers' T cloths, long cloths, and domestics there has been little or no Improve ment. The low prices have evidently tempted buyers toopersie, and at these having well supplied themselves they seem indis posed to go further except at low prices. The offers making are mostly at lower prices for cloth. WOOLLHlf.—Lging, AUGUST 10.—There has been a tolerably good attendance of merchants and manufacturers at the Cloth Balk this morning, Including the representatives of Manchester and Rudders!kid houses, and the amount of business transacted has been of a more satisfactory character. In the Coloured Market the inquiries for tweeds have been on the Increase, several parcels of steel and grey mixtures having changed hands, along with a sprinkling of fancy coloured warps. Coatings have also been In moderate request, though the parcels transferred have not beenlarge. Plain cloths have not been freely sought after. The demand for heavy goods in the White Hall has been tole rably well maintained, some fair transactions having taken place In beavers and witneyn. In some quarters plain and embossed have met with purchasers, chiefly on shipping account. O transfer of hairlista, although not large, has, however, shown Rome slight improvement, the medium and finer qualities have been mostly In demand, and the general tone of the markets has been somewhat more enlivening. There has not been any noticeable alteration in prices. WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, ACOCBT Io.—TM better tone of last week has continued during that which is closing, without any appreciable improvement in the aggregate amount of business done. Indeed, the transactions in wool during the week have perhaps not been as large as in the preceding week. Spinners merely buy to supply current wants, and carefully avoid increasing etocks. At soy rate the downward tendency of prices has been arrested, and there is certainly less hesitation on the part of consumers to operate. The full rates of last week bare generally been paid, although the demand is neither so large nor so urgent ss to form a test for the stability of prices. Holders show no disposition to make any concession, hut prefer to await the result of the harvest, on the favourable turn of which a revival In our languish ing trade Is believed to depend. There has been • steady business done in the ffne-haired wools of Northumberland, Staffordshire and Shropshire, while other sorts have been much neglected. The worsted yarn trade is quiet in both depart ments. Foreign merchants buy very sparingly for actual neces sity. There is more doing on home account, but It Is for Imme diate consumption. There is an entire absence of a speculative spirit. Prices are not much altered, although, on the whole, they may be said to be a shade easier. A little more business has been reported in pieces, but this has been far from general. Business In the home warehouses is below an average for the time of the year, and merchants operate with caution. Prime are nominally the same, with • tendency to decline, HARDWARL—BramtuansU, Anion 10.—There is nothing new to report relative to the trade of this town : in some branches there is a better supply of omen; the edge•tool makers, for Instance, are more actively engaged, but as orate, sluggishness gill prevails, and the orders coming in continue to be for small quantities of goods, as they have bees for some time past. In the metal trades generally there is no approach to animation ; and the jeWSUOTS sod other. engaged in the fancy trades are very indifferently supplied with orders.
