STANFORD S. SMIT , Sec' ___ H SPORTING INTELLIGENCE., • _ Yesterday was one of the "quiet days" whi. people choose for a good look at the Exhibition, and consequently, although it was a half-a-crown day, there was a very crowded attendance. We never saw the two picture galleries fuller, and all the long corridors in their neighbourhood were densely thronged with company. The Princesses Alice and. Louisa paid all early visit ; and we observed alo amongst the company the Marquis of Westminster, and several others of the haute noblesse, The long succession of cases in which the Coventry ribbons are exposed had numerous admirers, and the foreigners pre amt seemed to be surprised at their richness of texture and beauty of design. One magnificent ribbon in which nearly the whole of Tennyson's legend of 4 $ gaily pro fusi dorne,ssed the peoplesone G o diva" was embroidered a tt r acted very considerable n otice. From the cases the company would cross over to the balus trade, and looking down, admir e the extraordi nary and beautiful moving panorama, which was fte moving ov s in sounds nd in s v of e ry the direction, varis di:,closed by the nave below. It wo uld be im possible, i n d ee d, a nywhere to enjoy a 11-10fe strikin g e ff, c t, b ot h o f s ight and sound. The the numberless a tt ract i ve o bj ec ts scattered in rich musical instruments a scen di ng , as it were, in one eo great indistinct mass of melody, all combined to produce a whole, which held the company spell bound as they leant over the slender railing. Wherever the promenader turned, life was to be found teeming, and thoroughly enjoyed by - the 'Sig tors. In one place a crowd surrounded Air. Distin a nd his band; in another the great Orchest t jon detained a numerous audience. The eastern plat form was thronged, first to hear Mr. Richardson and Master Drew Dean, and then to be delighted by Mr. Lazare's recital on one of Collard's grand pianofortes. Those who scorned mucie, and who affected " notions," hurried into the AnNrican de partment, where the latest Yankee inventiOn was exhibited in the shape of a mechanical ‘‘ goy' milker," which does the work more effectually than the neatest-handed Phyllis, and doubles the ordi nary process in results. The spectators were much amused, and asked, "What next ?" but a great many thought that the odd machine had a great many solid recommendations to the bucolic mind. In the evening a good many of the company were drawn off to attend Mr. Baring's fete at the Crystal Palace, but their places were soon supplied by others, who poured in even so late as five or 81% o'clock. A heavy shower which fell in the after noon tested the domes rather unpleasantly,and marked the necessity of some action being taken . o protect the costly articles on either platform rom the rain. From the official return it appears that the num ler of visitors was—By season tickets, 6,271; by ent, 21,589; total, 2'7,860. It is doubted if the actual present state of the American i country difficult eo n currency nteo ctaearrive v e known to any one in that with at d more r e e t G h o a N n , e r a n vmaeute, esti mate. perhaps even the Secretary of the Treasuryayale in one with wouldne find The last resource has been to i : s a su s e these what m a: y e t y e e r a m r d w ' i ‘ t c h e t n i t fi e c r a e t s e t s a u t f o i indebtedness," e t e e d n n t s a s n , ' d ' payable be put forth in any quantity without Congressional sanction, they furnish a ready means for a tempo rary avoidance not only of loans, but of any fresh creation of the "demand notes," which are a legal tender, and of which up to the middle of last month the Government were supposed to have issued about £20,000,000. These demand notes may be increased to £30,000,000, under en Act of Congress passed several months back, and it was expected that that total would be reached about the present time. £12,000,000 of those already out are a leg al tender for all purposes, including duties on import s / but these are to be withdrawn as soon as possible, and others substituted, which will be a legal tender everywhere except at the Custom-house. Mean while, the local banks throughout all the States continue their ordinary issues, and are increasing the amount with great boldness in consequence of the suspension of specie payments and the fact that they are now bound to meet their obligations only in the irredeemable Government currency which is being so profusely manufactured. A call for small notes of one, two, and three dollars each, owing to the withdrawal of silver from circulation, likewise encourages them in this direction. According to some opinions, the banks will before long issue two paper dollars for every one issued by the Govern ment. In the midst of all this the causes that assist to prevent the inflation from breaking up so soon as might be expected are—l, that at the commence ment of the paper issues the country was more rich in coin than at any former period ; 2, that the currency previously to the suspension of specie pay ments had been largely contracted, from the appre hensions caused by the war ; and, 3, that the im portations had for a considerable time been less, and the exportations greater, than had ever previously been known.—Times City Article. MANCHESTER RACES, JUNE 13. THE FLOOD IN THE FENS. LATEST PARTICULARS. LYNN, FRIDAY NIGHT. Nothing like the gloom that has pervaded the public mind during the last 48 hours has been seen since the catastrophe first happened; engineers and workmen look glum, and the general public are quite confident that if the water is not stopped until it is done by the present engineers it will never be done at all. The rain was falling heavily the greater part of yesterday, and this added to the gloom. Rumours were current that the whole framework was carried away, but this was untrue. Upon visiting the works this morning it was found that the steam engine had been got on to the dam, and it was being attempted to drive three or four large piles in the places where the hole had been burst. The operation was found most difficult, and the diver had to go down and remove some sacks of earth ont of the way. Amid the general gloom Mr. Leather, the contractor, keeps up his spirits, and talks of being able, with the materials, machinery, and ample labour now at command, to stop the water way in a week or fortnight. One thing, however, is certain—that, with the constant scour and re peated interference with the small strata of clay at the bottom of the cut on the site of the present cof ferdam, the foundation will be so loosened that, should the framework be carried away (and this is by no means improbable), it will be impossible to strike a dam without going beyond the site of St. Mary's-bridge, which was carried away. In the course of to-day several lighters have been brought into the drain laden with gravel and clunch, and have deposited their cargoes at the foot of the frame work of the dam on both sides. A great number of tons of rock stone have also been dropped in, as well as same thousand sacks of earth. It is not at all surprising that the dam should burst when it is known that the panel was not dropped into tie groove true, there being a space of at least 6 inches between the side of the panel and the groove at the bottom. With such insecurity as this, and the very small depth to which they were driven, the only wonder would have been if the structure had re mained firm. The greatest fear is still felt that the whole struc ture will be carried away before the spring tides are over. The " shores" connected with the centre of the dam, and the struts on the shore, are notoriously insufficient to bear the heavy stress put upon them at every tide, and the tides will be at their highest point to-night or to-morrow. This morning there was a very high tide, and the cofferdam was watched with the greatest anxiety. The wind is very high from the W., :and should Admiral Fitz roy's prognostications of a gale from the W.N.W. turn out correct (which, from the manner in which the wind is now blowing great guns, is very likely to be the case), nothing on earth can same the framework of the cofferdam, which is now the only check that the waters have. There is reason to believe that the vast quantities of clunch and rock stone which have been deposited in the neighbour hood of the dam have had the effect of filling up the holes to a great extent, which were caused by the very strong scour. Immediately after the dam Mr. Hawkshaw left the works, and up s to an th a ere vanced hour to-day he had not been een, again. d the subsequent strong against Fen property generally, delays, on the value of d the depreciation IS is admitted to be very great, an value of the lands said to be 20 per cent. from the prior to this sad disaster. The effect of the inundation way amicable arrang ementlt is very desirable that some should be come to between the I\Tiddle Level on Tuesdady_ Commissioners and sufferers to avoid needless liti gation, there being every reason to believe that the whenever the matter shall be brought into court. eLviedveenleeCNOmilml ibsesilovneerrYs engineeringthe lie -- WRUPTURES. --13Y ROYAL - LETTERS PATENT.

The races commencing on Wednesday, and the usual holidays at Whitsuntide have taken people out of town, and warehouses have only opened during the mornings since Tuesday.- Some little business has been done, during the hours when warehouses have been open, but it has been trifling. Prices are rather higher, or, at least, sellers are asking higher mica, in consequence of the firmer and more active cotton market at Liverpool, but the rumours of a probable interference in American affairs by France and England have had influence on busi ness. Burns's Colonial Circular and Commercial Glance of to-morrow (proofs of which have been obligingly furnished to us in anticipation) will give some information as to the quantity of cotton now in Europe, and showing how greatly the trade have been disappointed by the smalln ess of supply from India. The paper says :---"The diminished exports from Bombay for this year certainly are not as cheering as we might have expected, yet it is come satisfaction to find by the last accounts from Bom bay that this is partly owing 'to the boats not been able to reach the port, owing to the prevalence of contrary winds ; however, a large quantity is ex pected as soon as the northerly winds set in again. But still we must admit that this does not of itself insure us any large increase in the exports from India, nor does it fulfil our previous anticipations of the immerse quantity we expected to receive,whioli we still affirm she is capable of supplying. How, then, shall we account for such dilatoriness on the part of the natives! That India annually produces upwards of 6,000,000 bales is as yet undisputed,and it appears hardly credible that, if they have the way, they are without the will to sell it us at 6d. or 7d. per lb., instead of disposing of it to their own weavers at ld. or lld. per lb., and it is upon this point we wish to draw most serious attention. The great want of India is proper channels through which cotton may find its way down to the ports. In the first place, there are only two or three European merchants in Bombay who have agents out in the cotton districts. How, then, can we ex pect the merchants to provide us with anything like the quantity necessary to supply our requirements ? If they use such small exertions to obtain the cotton direct, they at once lose our confidence in their capa bilities of supplying us. Yet hundreds of n ative dealers swarm in the interior, prac tising every sort of dishonesty, and blinding the natives as to the real state of the export markets, and thus, although these knavish dealers are filling their own pockets, the growers are receiving no better prices than usual, and so have no interest whatever in seek ing a means of conveyance to_ the ports. Agai n , it is stated that tbe natives last year preferred t o sell a l ar ge portion of their cotton rather weav e it themselves, than and consequently, haying produced less cloth last year, they will consume more cotton themselves this. How does this tally with the accounts that India is over stocked with goods ? Here are markets open for goods if they were sought for, and cotton ready for a market if it was honestly looked for. The fact is that cotton will not come down to the ports in any thing like the quantity they are capable of supply ing unless Europeans go up the country and fetch it. The native dealers may, from the high price obtainable at the ports, extend their incursions into districts not yet ransacked for cotton, and in this way some extra supply may be obtained from this source. Now, it is very evident that if we are to have a large increase in our imports of cotton from India, we must ourselves send out agents to procure it. It is there to be had, and only wants fetching. What they did in 1861, they may surely be induced to do in 1862-3, with the double advantage of open ing up new and extended markets for our exports. We therefore suggest that an association should bo immediately formed for the purpose of raising from two or three millions of money, by issuing sha re ' s at a low amount, and distributing them throughout the length and breadth of the land, for all are deep ly interested in the cotton trade of this king dom, which, for its magnitude, has becorno the baro meter of our prosperity. This fund s hould be em a large number p l o yed in the purchase of cotto n by po rtion of their of agencies throughout India.;, bulk by the nearest duty being to see it conveyedf _transit to the ports, and most available means 0 direct to the associa whence it should be shiPP ed . of it to the trade. Such energetic, and busi tion, who would disp c'se active, with an oiled in strict accordance an association , like committee, drawn up, would, we are as allnyadearty response from the whole with rules carefully meet sured, and realise ahandsome profit to the share holders. a nation, A double advantage would also be gained holders. if the Government would allow their staff of official throughout India to act for the association until they could send out a number of agents of their ow n ; these officers of the Government being thickly scattered throughout the, cotton districts, well versed in the various languages, and fully ac quainted with the manner in which the native trade is conducted. This would be the means of bringing the earliest relief to the distr ess of Lacont: cashire, by providing them with cotton be fur course, the funds for that purpose would u ests nished by the association."

The East India and London Shipping Company's screw steamer Queen of the South, 2,221 tons, 300- horse power, which arrived in the Thames on Thursday, from Madras, with time-expired men and detachments of invalid troops on board, landed her troops at Government-quay, Gravesend, yester day, when the detachments were forthwith conveyed to Chatham garrison. The Queen of the South left Madras on the 7th of March, touched at the Cape of Good Hope on the 14th of April, and sailed thence on the 16th ; she crossed the line on the 9th of May, and first sighted the Scilly Islands on the 9th inst. She brings home 94 non-commissioned officers and men, 13 women, and 63 children. The troops belong to the Ist (the King's) Dragoon Guards, Royal Artillery, 43d Light Infantry, 2d battalion 60th Rifles, 68th Light Infantry, and 69th Regiment, and 74th Highlanders, the whole under the command of Capt. E. Bradbury, Ist Dragoon Guards, Lieut. G. H. Cherry, 49th Madras Native Infantry, and Staff-Surgeon J. Clements. One prisoner, a deserter from the 69th Regiment, we s taken on board at the Cape. In addi tion to the troops, the Queen of the South brought home nearly 100 passengers, among whom are Col. Hall, of the 49th Madras Native Infantry, Major Ross, 71st Native Infantry, Major Campbell, and Major Fooks, of the Indian army. During the pas sage eight deaths and three births occurred on board, The deaths included four soldiers from dis eases contracted prior to their embarkation. Among the deaths were Mr. Carrall, schoolmaster, 60th Rifles, who was returning to England on leave ; one corporal of the 68th, one man of the 43d, and one of the 60th, together with four passengers. The passage from Madras to the Thames, including detentions, occupied 96 days, during which light southerly and easterly winds were experienced, which enabled the screw to be dispensed with for a considerable portion of the voyage. At the date of the Queen of the South leaving Madras the Tra falgar was embarking her troops for England. The East Indiaman Barham, 1,149 tons, Capt. A, Consitt, belonging to Messrs. Green,Blackwall, 104 days from Madras, also disembarked her troops at Gravesend yesterday, under the direction of Lieut. and Adjt. Saville and the staff from Chatham garri son. The detachment brought home consist of 120 men of all ranks belonging to the Ist (King's) Dra goon Guards, 17th Lancers, Royal Artillery, Madras Artillery, Madras Fusileers, Ist Battalion Ist Royals, Ist Battalion 18th Royal Irish, 43d Light Infantry, 3d Battalion 60th Rifles, 68th Light Infantry, 69th Regiment, 74th Highlanders, and 91st Regiment, With one prisoner and four insane men. The Barham embarked her troops at Madras on She 25th ed Feb at - ruary, and sailed the follo win g day. arriv St. Helena on the 25th of April, and sailed thence the same day, crossed the Line on the Bth of May, and sighted the Land's End on the 9th inst. The officers in command of the troops are Capt. the Hon. A. E. Harris, 43d Light Infantry ; and Lieut. H. Morris, Madras Army, and Dr. Williams in medical charge. The following officers also arrived in the Barham as passengers ;—Col. Gordon, Bth Light Cavalry ; Col. Codrington, Madras army ; Major Windham, Madras Native Infantry ; Major Adyes, Indian army; and Assist.-Surg. Macartney, 3d Battalion 60th Rifles. Eleven deaths and three births occurred on board during the passage. After medical inspection the troops requiring hospital treatment were removed to Fort Pitt. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has intimated his intention of inspecting the London division of the Corps of Commissionaires on Sunday next, the 15th inst., at 9.30 a.m. The men will parade at the Wellington Barracks, St. James's Park, and after the inspection march through Pall mall to St. Michael's Church, Burleigh-street, Strand, where they will attend Divine service as usual.

William Davies, of the London Hospital ; Edward Morgan, of Aberystwith , Cardiganshire, 111.11.C.5. and L,M. (Middlesex Hospital); and James Procter, of Ironbridge, Shropshire, M.R.C.S.

The Congress resumed its sittings yesterday at Burlington House, Piccadilly, the Earl of Shaftes- bury again taking the chair. Mr. ROBERTS, F.S.A., read a paper on " Army Sanitary Reform under the late Lord Herbert," which had been prepared by Miss Florence Night ingale, in consequence of a request made to her by the Congress at their meeting last year at Brussels. n the former Chinese war the 26th Cameronians, consisting of 900 men, although a total abstinence regiment, were so reduced by the want of sanitary appliances, that only 20 could be got together at the end of two months. At the beginning of the Cr!meanwarthe death rate in the army was as high as 60 per cent. But so great an improvement had since taken place in sanitary matters that in the last China war the mortality of British troops, in cluding the wounded, was little more than 3 per cent. per annum, while the sick in hospital was about the same as at home. ' • Sir H: VERNEY dwelt on tha appalling fact that 2,000 soldiers died annually in the British army, owing to diseases arising from vice, produced by idleness, and which occupation only would remove to a large extent. Mr. E. CHADWICK read a paper on " Recent Sanitary Improvements in England." Clearing away cesspools had alone reduced the mortality one-third--when combined with other rudimentary sanitary weans fully one-half. The army mortality, formerly 90 in 1,000 annually, had been reduced to about 10. Mr. J. T. HAMMACK, one of the hon. secretaries of the Congress, read a paper on the ‘.‘ English Census of the Blind and the Deaf and Dumb," from his own pen ; and another, from that of Dr. Wilde, of Dublin, on the " Blind in Ireland." Beth were of opinion that much of those afflictions had arisen from the combined influence of bad food and want of sanitary appliances durir.g many generations. A resolution was passed, asking the Governments of different countries to appoint a commission of inquiry on the subject of the blind and deaf and dumb. Mr. BURN, a blind man himself, said this was what the blind and the deaf and dumb wanted; and he hoped that the commission would examine the sufferers themselves, and not rely on the reports of institutions. The Rev. R. G. BAKER, vicar of Fulham, read a paper on " Measures for ameliorating the condition of the Adult Deaf and Dumb among the Poor." The CHAIRMAN said he had received a touching letter from a deaf and dumb girl, suggesting that if a copy of the deaf and dumb alphabet were printed in every book, it would multiply a hundred fold the number of persons with whom she was able to converse, and he had sent the letter to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. Compliance with her request would not, he believed, cost the society £lO a year. Mr. ROBERTS read a short paper on " Improve ments in the Dwellings of the Working Classes." M. AUGUST VISSCHERS, delegate from the Belgian Government, introduced for discussion the question whether the state should have the power of sepa rating from their parents children morally neglected and charging the parents with their education, and if necessary their maintenance? A committee, after investigating the subject, had reported in the affirmative, and the congress adopted their views. Another question was whether attendance at parochial schools should be compulsory, and if so, under what form and limitation ? M. VISSCIIERS spoke at length against making the attendance compulsory, and moved the adoption of resolutions to that effect. The discussion on this point was prolonged and animated ; and, finally, the resolutions were passed by a considerable majority. DOGS' DODGES. That dogs are capable of scheming together, and of carrying out their schemes jointly or separately, no end of evidence might be collected. A curious instance of this was once witnessed by my brother and myself. We were walking through a by-street in Islington, when there came trotting up the street towards us two ragged, mud-spattered, cross bred zurs, with "tramp" and "beggar" visibly written on their countenances. They wore young dogs, however, and their poverty was no check on their spirits, so they came rollicking along, push ing and cuffing each other, and performing such tricks as naturally suggest themselves to young and depraved minds resolved on vagabondage. Pre sently, however, the rather bigger dog assumed a serious deportment—a change which his companion no sooner observed than he, too, became suddenly grave, and the two, instead of reckless canine ruf fians, appeared as slow-going, journey-worn poor little dogs, to whom ever so stale a paunch would be a gift for which to wag their tails till they were loose with gratitude. Presently the bigger dog left the road, and took to the pavement, along which he slowly walked, while his friend trotted ahead and then stretched himself in the shadow of the curb, with his nose on his paws. Meanwhile, dog number one slunk along the pavement with a most cadger-like gait till he came to some private houses whose areas were guarded by railings, Down the first area the dog looked with a professional eye, paused a moment, and passed on; so with the se cond ; but on reaching the third house, through the kitchen window of which some of the inmates were visible, he reared on his hind legs, and crooking his front paws imploringly there he stood for at least a minute.
