from the kingdom of Poland, obstructs the solution of the peasant question, and threatens the final destruction of the Province, unless we are restored to administrative unity with a country which possesses the same traditions and wants, and the same notions of civil and religious freedom, and future progress, as ourselves. "In laying before your Imperial Majesty these their real wants, the Podolian nobles trust in your feelings of justice and friendship as the only hope for them of putting an end to their present sufferings, and assuring them of a happier destiny for the future." Such sentiments and wishes are those of the whole Pol;sh nation ; and it would be ridiculous, as it is impossible, for the Emperor of Russia, even with his ukases and his hordes, to quench or destroy that patriotism which is the birthright and the pride of eeery true Pole. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GLOUCESTER RACES.-TUESDAY. The extraordinary heavy rain on Sunday, which appears to have been general throughout England, left the race ground at Gloucester in a miserably wet state. The course has been well drained, but the Severn, which abuts the land, having been flooded, left the surface very " heavy" and sloppy. Notwithstanding this drawback large fields contested the several events, a nnmerous company as sembled,, and the weather remaining beautifully fine, the meeting appeared to be enjoyed by those who lent their patroaage. The following are details of the day's running : The Scurry Handicap, a Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, 2 ft., with 25 added ; for horses of all ages ; winners after the publication of weights to carry 71b extra. Half a mile. 2 subs. Lord Coventry's Mousetrap, 4 yrs, 7st 61b (Maidment) 1 Mr. Bell's Pupil, 3 yrs, 6st 101 b ............ (Hobson) 2 Mr. Milton' s Fi ts R uyter, 2 yrs, sst 71b (car. sst 91b) (J as. Nightingall) 3 The following also ran :—Miss Julia, Sherborne, Peahen, Knuston, El Taranda colt, First Attempt, Surbiton Hill, Gameboy (late Lord Nelson), and Vesper. Betting -2 to 1 agst Miss Julia, 6to 1 each agst Mouse trap and Fitz Ruyter, 7 to 1 agat First Attempt, and 10 to 1 agat any other. The patience of the starter was tested to a degree by the refusal of the jockeys to get into line, and after a little dis play of refractory conduct on the part of First Attempt and Peahen, the lot were despatched to a very moderate start. Amongst those who got badly .ff were Surbiton Hill, Pea hen, Vesper, and the Eryx colt. First Attempt jumped away clear of the rest, and for 50 yards was followed by Sherborne, who, however, could not move in the heavy ground, and instantly dropped to the rear, when First At tempt was pursued by Mousetrap, Pupil, Knuston, and Iliss Julia. Before arriving at the distance Mousetrap ob tained a commanding lead and won by 10 lengths; the re mainder, who staggled in anyhow, were Peahen fourth, the Eryx colt fifth, Miss Julia sixth, Surbiton Hill seventh, and Vesper eighth. The Gloucestershire Handicap, a sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards; winners extra. Two miles. 18 subs. _ - --- Mr. W. — Owen's Brilliant, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b .... (Clement) 1 Mr. T. Stevens's Sheperdess, 4 yrs, 7st 81b .. (Drew) 2 Mr. Adams's Wortham, 4 yrs, 6st 81b .. (Wheatley) 3 The following also ran :—Tonio, Desmond, Saracen, and Proof. - - - - - _ Betting-2 to 1 agst Shepherdess, 4to 1 agst Brilliant, 5 to 1 agst Wortham, and 6 to 1 agst Saracen. Tonio was first off, closely followed by ortham, Shep herdess, Brilliant, and Saracen, the last two being Desmond and Proof. They ran thus at a very moderate pace for a mile and a half, the lead having been alternately held by Wortham,lShepherdess, Brilliant, and Saracen. Bad as the pace was, the severity of the course had beaten all the horses, excepting Brilliant, when they were half a mile from home, when Desmond was at least 200 yards from the leading lot. Proof, when well up with his horses about half a mile from the finish, fell, and rolled over young Nightingall, who re ceived a severe injury to his left shoulder. A quarter of a mile from home there were only four in the race, and so well was Brilliant running that neither Tonio, Shep herdess, nor Wortham was virtually in the race. Coming round the last turn Brilliant came away, and cantered in ten lengths in advance of Shepherdess. 'Wortham walked past the post. The Croome Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for two yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b; winners extra. T.Y.C., about half a mile. 10 subs.

(Payne) 3 Betting-6 to 4 agst Abernethy, 7to 4 agst Kennett, 6 to 2 agst Jesuista. The last-mentioned rushed to the front, followed by Fat Jack for a quarter of a mile. The stout gentleman being beaten at this point retired, and Kennett hotly pursued Jesuista, whom she caught at the half distance, aad beat by a length; Fat Jack was a bad third, and Abernethy was never in the race. The Innkeepers' Plate of 30 soya, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 1 ft; winners extra. One mile. Mr. G. C. Morgan's Rocklian . s yrs.. 7gt A1b.... (Drew) 1 Mr. R.

Acton pioneered the way attended upon by Colonel Crockett. About a quarter of a mile from home Ledbury joined them, but subsequently gave way to Rockley. The latter had all his horses beaten at the distance, where he Came away and won by two lengths. A length separated the second and third, and Ledbury a bad fourth. Dominie Sampson was fifth, and Captain Knight sixth. A Handicap Hurdle Race of 5 sovs each, one soya ft, with 25 added, winners extra. One mile and a half, over four flights of hurdles. 21 subs.

Betting-3 to 1 each agst Pot Pourri and Jacob, 7to 2 each agst Bucephalus and Ned of the Hills, 5 to 1 agst The Miller. Bucephalus jumped off with a slight lead, but was quickly headed by Alba, Millstone, and Ned of the Hills. Ere they had gone a quarter of a mile Ned of the Hills and Alba came away, and on passing the Stand was fully 50 lengths in front of The Miller, Jacob, and Pot Pourri. Ned of the Hills. who completely overpowered the boy, ran against a post, but did not injure his rider. Pot Pourri and Jacob gradually drew towards Alba, who was beaten be fore making his last turn, at which point Pot Pourri took lip the running and won by six lengths; a bad third; the rest straggled in. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY. For the Cambridgeshire Umpire finished ✓ favourite. Beyond bringing the Lady Evelyn colt from an outsider to 30 to 1 (taken freely), there was nothing particular in the betting. Any slight advance upon the prices quoted as offered would have been taken.

Amongst these we specially noticed admirable speci mens of the well-known and much-approved " Pannus Corium" boots and shoes. They look so like leather that on first sight we thought it was that material, but found on closer inspection that "Pannus Corium" is a prepared cloth very soft and elastic. The advantage of this article must be thoroughly appreciated by those who have the misfor tune to be tender-footed. Messrs. Hall and Co., of 6, Wel lingtou•street, Strand, the sole patentees of this invention, have deservedly received " Honourable mention" front the jurors. AN INFURIATED 0X..--.11 N t SEVERAL INJURED. —The ea T OSSED AND greatest P ERSON s alarm and excitement were created on Monday eveningnn.riondthe vicinities of the Bagnigge-wells-road, Gray , and Mecklenburgh square, Foundling Hospital, by the appearanceapasse of a bullock difficulty y s in the route in a most infuriated state.

The furious beast then turned off, and, crossing the Gray's Inn-road into John-street, Bedford low, followed by a number of men and boys, he th en knocked down two men, and rushed at great speed rnto 1.1 — nughty•mews, where he entered the stables of a cab paropt ri etor, the be as t tearing up a manger with h i s h o r ns , liwodreielhis:Oo out t tlers had the greatest difficulty in getting the of danger.

NT 0 NEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. A contradiction has been given, on official autho rity, of a report lately circulated that the Ottoman Government are about to emit six or seven millions sterling of new Consutides. It is stated that a rumour of an intended new Egyptian Government loan is entirely without foundation. The commercial letters from Buenos Ayres re• move much of the unpleasantness of the recent tele gram announcing the refusal of the Provincial Legislature to sanction the fixing of the national capifal at Buenos Ayres, and the consequent resig nation of the leading Ministers. Dr. Costa, the Premier, who is stated to act upon " thoroughly English ideas," tendered his resignation, and Senor Riestra, the Finance Minister, who has been for years the chief agent in restoring and upholding the credit of the Republic, took the same course ; but that of the former was not accepted by General Mitre, and it is now said that by his tact and good sense there is a certainty of the difficulty being eventually overcome. Meanwhile, however, trade and enterprise of all kinds were unfavourably in fluenced. It is remarked that at Buenos Ayres,!as elsewhere, owing to the stocks previously accumu lated, the rise in manufactured goods has not hitherto been in any degree commensurate with that which has taken place in most descriptions of raw material. "Now, however," it is added, " the immense stock seems to have moved off, and there can be no doubt that calicoes and prints of every description will command high figures in South America." The Bill for the Cordova Railway, which is likely to form the com mencement of a route that will ultimately extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has passed both Houses of Congress, and the works of the Buenos Ayres Northern line are stated to be in steadypro gress, the contractor having announced confidently that the road would be open for traffic as far as Belgrano early in the present month. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation is steadily maintained, and the rates continue firm. There appears to be an impression in some quarters that the quotations will shortly exhibit rather an upward tendency, although the requirements of the commercial public are likely to continue moderate till the end of the year. Gold is new about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and of about equal value here and in Hamburg. The Tartar, from Lisbon, has brought £3,300 in specie. - The traffic return of the East Indian Railway for the week ending July 20 shows an income on the Bengal division of 3591 miles open of £6,103, against £5,270 in the corresponding period of last year on 248 miles. The North Western Provinces division, on 2791 miles, obtained £2,200, while the income of last year on 209/ miles was £1,997. There has been very little speculation at the Stock Exchange to day, except in foreign stocks and joint-stock bank shares. Turkish, Italian, Mexican, and Spanish attract the chief attention of the time operators, and the activity in the market for joint-stock bank shares is still kept up. The remarkable success of the old established banks has induced investors to give liberal support to new projects, and the demand for shares is unusually extensive. Formerly this class of security ranged at quotations which enabled purchasers to obtain about 6 per cent. for their money, the premium being considerable, and hence the desire now mani fested to invest in the shares of the various com panies recently introduced, which, if successful, may increase in market value as well as return a satis factory interest upon the capital employed. Two O'CLOCK. Very little change has occurred in the English Stock to-day, business being exceedingly inactive owing to the disinclination evinced by speculators to enter into large engagements, and the preference shown by investors for new undertakings.

Caledonians, London, Chatham, and Dover, and North Westerns have receded as. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s.; South Easterns, however, have improved about £l. In the Foreign and Colonial markets there has been no change of importance. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian realize 221; San Paulo, ; Great Western of Canada, 129 a; East Indian, 1061 ; and Bombay and Baroda, 103; 4.

The ordinary general meeting of the propriet - ms in this company was held this day at the London Tavern. The directors' report, which was adopted, recommended the usual dividend of £2 per share. The passenger traffic has be en f avourably influenced by the emigration to British Columbia and the visits to the International Exhibition, but the receipts for freight on the Brazil route have been considerably diminished by the competition of the French steamers--a competition which must also be anticipated to affect seriously the West India route, when the line from France to that station shall have been fully established. The company's contract with the Government will expire at the end of next year, and tenders for the new service are to be sent in on Saturday week. The directors, therefore, are giving anxious attention to this question, but do not intend to attempt to obtain a renewal on any but remunera tive terms. The CHAIRMAN, Captain Mangles, presided, and in moving the adoption of the report, spoke of the satisfactory position of the company, and alluded to the notice given by the GoNernment to discontinue the existing contract of the West Indian and South American mail services. Several of the shareholders criticised the report of the directors in a very favourable manner, and observed that the financial position of the company was sound, and satisfac torily contrasted it with former periods. POLICE-THIS DAY. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT THE EXHIBITION.—WaIter Rummoll, a young man, was charged with being drunk and violently assaulting a police-constable. Alexander Gardner, 224 X, said that at 20 minutes past 5 last evening he was on duty at the Exhibition, engaged in clearing out the visitors, when the defendant and two other young men approached, all of them being intoxicated. He pointed out the direction they should take to leave the building, when the defendant refused to go that way, and. attempted to pass towards the eastern annexe. Complain ant prevented this, and as the defendant persisted com plainant took him by the arm to lead him out of the build ing. When he got him through the turnstile he let go his hold of the defendant, when the latter turned round and struck him a violent blow on the side of ttie head, which he followed up by inflicting another before he could be secured. Mr. Paynter—What became of the other two drunken persons who were with the defendant ? Hew is it they were not locked up ? Complainant—When desired they left peaceably, so that there was no necessity. Mr. Poynter (to defendant)—What have you to say ? Defendant—l am in fault. Mr. Paynter—l should think you ought to be. A youth like you getting drunk and conducting yourself in tha disgraceful way at so public a place of resort, where the slightest obstruction may cause incalculable mischief. How long had he been in the Exhibition, constable—are you aware ? Complainant—All the day, I belie're. Mr. Paynter—Then he got drunk in the building. Constable—Yes, I suppose so, Mr. Paynter—You might have done much damage, young man, to the valuable property there. Complainant—l had seen him with his companions be fore, and was very much afraid that they would fall through some of the glass cases. Mr. Paynter—lt was indeed fortunate ; the Exhibition is no place for drunken men. (To defendant)—What are you? Defendant—A clerk. Complainant—He is clerk to an exhibitor there, and knew the regulations of the building well. At the time I interfered with him it was twenty minutes after that fixed for the closing. Mr. Paynter—Did he go quietly to the station ? Complainant—No, he resisted so violently that it required four constables to carry him to the station. Mr. Poynter (to defendant)---Your conduct for a respect ably positioned young man is very disgraceful. You must pay 408., or be sent to the House of Correction for a month. The fine was paid. M ARLB OR OU GH- STREE T. Two Frenchmen, named Orter and Bour, were fined, the former 10s. and the latter 205., for assaulting a tradesman named White, in St. Martin's-lane, without the slightest provocation. _ John England, an apprentice to Mr. Francis Stead, an engraver, was charged with robbing his master to the amount of £lOO. He was remanded. SOUTHWARK. AN ACQUAINTANCESHIP DECLINED.--John Fred. Calder, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and annoying Captain Robert Clavering Savage, a gentleman of fortune, residing at 6, Charles-street, Deptford. The prosecutor said that he had been dining at the Artichoke Tavern, Newington-causeway, yesterday, and as he was leaving, about 8 o'clock in the evening, the prisoner, with whom he had no previous acquaintance whatever, addressed him. He crossed the street towards the Borough road, but the prisoner followed him, and continued dodging him until he reached the Equestrian Tavern, when he gave him in charge. The prisoner, in the course of his annoy ing him, threatened that if the prosecutor went to a certain coffeeshop he would get somebody to do for him. When taken into custody, he stated to the policeman that they had been drinking together, which was quite untrue. The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said that he had been acquainted with Captain Savage for some time. He said to the captain, " Hallo, how are you IP" to which the latter replied, " Begone, I don't want to know anything of you ;" and he also threatened to spit in his face. He was in the habit of meeting the captain at Kaye's coffeehouse, in Leicester-square, and had been instrumental in recover ing for him a valuable diamond ring. The captain was a man of very sanguine and excitable temperament. The magistrate remarked that such being the case, the prisoner should have abstained attempting to force his ac quaintance on him. The prosecutor adhered to his statement that he had no acquaintance with the prisoner, and with great warmth re pudiated any such intimacy as the prisoner deposed to. Sentenced to ply 10s. fine, or be imprisoned for seven days. THAMES. An Irishman, named Derniorly, was charged with creating a disturbance. The prisoner while in a state of intoxication in Rosemary -lane raised a cry of "Up with th) Pope and dcwn with Garibaldi." A large orowd col lected, and great confusion was the consequence. The magistrate fined him 20s. MARKETS -THIS DAY. AMARK LANE. Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of English wheat were small, and the trade ruled steady, both for red and white qualities, at full prices. The show of samples of foreign wheat was extensive. The demand was not to say extensive for any description ; nevertheless, the quotations were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full prices. The trade for barley was very firm at fully Monday's ad vance of is per qr. for malting qualities. Good and fine malt moved off steadily at full currencies, but other kinds met a slow sale. For oats—notwithstanding that the supply on offer was very moderate—the demand was in a sluggish state at Monday's quotations. Beans were dull at fully the late decline in their value. Peas were in slow request on former terms. Best kinds of flour changed hands at a moderate extent at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat Barley, Malt Oats.

The trees, Which, as might be supposed, have lost their equilibrium, are standing at all sorts of angles, and will, doubtless, so on be u p roo t e d a ltogether.—, Sussex Zxpress,, THE OXFORD MUSIC HALL. " The Oxford" advances fresh claims to the distinction of being the first in the field with operatic novelties. More than once, a promise m a d e , b u t no t performed, by one or other of our Italian ipera houses, has been fulfilled by the management of this hall. The last instance We may record is the production of ElJaiz3tti's' "Don Sebastien," w hi c h was in the programme of the Royal Italian Opera for the past season, but never produced. This opera contains som e of the most dramatic and best concentrated music Doni zetti ever wrote, and it is heard to great advantage in the selection now being played. This selection alternates with Verdi's " Corsaro" and " Trovatore," the former being one of those speedy revivals in which Mr. Mor ton's musical conductor is so opportune. Two new musical treats are in preparation. 'I he " Nabucco" of Verdi, in which Colletti figured so conspicuously at Her Majesty's, is in active rehearsal, and will, we understand, be produced next week. A still more reel arche work is Gluck's " Alceste," a selection from which is promised, and which will give the general public tome idea of a composer seldom heard of in this country out of purely classical circles. The Oxford, therefore, success fully maintains its pre-eminence as being the first amongst music-halls to cull from opera and other large works of merit, and reproduce them in the form of selections. Seve ral modern cantatas have been given in their entirety, also with distinguished success. We believe it is in contem plation to enrich the instrumental force of The Oxford by the engagement of some solo players of eminence. Master Drew Dean, the young flutist (who was selected by Mr. Anderson as solo flutist in her Majesty's band, but was dis qualified at the last moment merely on account of his ex treme youth), commences an engagement immediately. The rich unction of Mr. Unsworth, in his celebrated " Stump speech," continues to render that oration the great nigger speciality of the day. If the Abolitionists had Mr. Uns• worth amongst them he would be the very Daniel O'Con nell of negro emancipation. In this praise of the artist we mean no disparagement of his collabora!eur, Mr. Eugene, who is quite his equal in another line. Indeed, the Rutnsey and Newcomb minstrels, altogether, will bear comparison with the best of the sable fraternity who have yet appeared in this country. This is the last week at this hall of "The Miraculous Steckel," whose next appearance, according to the more recent rotation of artistic movements, may be a the Crystal Palace.

I have found out a fact, I declare, I have found out a secret indeed, But let me divulging forbear, Some will say 'tis a barbarous deed ; I have found—open widely your eyes, I have found—to be startled prepare— That the country is—now for surprise— A swindle, a sham, and a snare. As indulging the sweetest of dreams, I recline on this soft shady bank, For valleys and hedgerows and streams, You bountiful nature, I thank I How peaceful the prospect around, How tuneful the wind through the trees But chitch-oo I—so damp is the ground, At-choo-ski I—that seems like a sneeze. How pleasant 'mid flowers and plants, One's limbs on the verdure to sprawl, But not when a number of ants • Up your trousers capriciously crawl. You inhale the warm breath of the south, You look up to the bluest of skies, When filling your eyes and your mouth, Comes a swarm of the smallest of flies. That rustic—that innocent lad, Simplicity here take a hint, (Whose every third woad is so bad, I should blush to record it in print—) Must be free from the vices of town, Though the language he uses is queer : What I knocked his old grandfather down ? Good gracious I and kicked him oh I dear. Where yon smoke has so gracefully curled, O'er the roof which the ivy has crowned, You say if there's peace in this world, That is just where it ought to be found. That porch with its roses trained o'er, There enters nor anger nor strife— Shrill tones and a slam of the door I The man has a vixen for wife. But twilight will bring it. repose, Oh I will it ? when moths, or instead Great earwigs creep into your clothes, And crawl all about you in bed. The country, indeed, would be right, For quiet as long as you stay, If dogs didn't bark all the night And children squall all through tho day. Away to the lamp-lighted town, Away to society's charms, No more I despairingly down Shall sit in the " Muggleton Arms." No more shall 1 list to their din, And discussion of local affairs, I shall take my true ease at my inn, In my chambers up five pair of stairs. Oh I ye in the autumn who fly, To rurality's depths for relief, Be warned when these lines you espy, Like me lest you come unto grief. If you must take your " holiday out," Pray take it where some one you know, For alone going walking about, You'll find is uncommonly " slow." CONTRIBUTION PROM DARNLET.—Why is a woman deformed when she is mending stockings Because her hands are where her feet ought to be. Why are the Northerners and Southerners likely soon to become friends again ?—Because, at the rate they are going on, they will soon come to the Union (workhouse). A NATURAL SEQUITUR.- As the Lord Mayor elect is Rose, his talk will of course be flowery I People. in ad dressing him, will have to say, "By your lordship's leaves I" POLITICAL CHESS.—In expectation of a revolt of the negroes, Lincoln declares the emancipation of the slaves. " Black to move," but he don't. " Check!" TAXING A LIBERTY WITH FREEDOM. --Lincoln candidly states that he only emancipates the niggers as "a measure for the preservation of the United States Government." We should have thought it had black-guards enough for its preservation already. IMPORTANT TO LITERARY MEN.—Authors, for the future, are to burn " composition" candles I Why is a professed joker like a publican ?—Because he's a licensed wit-teller A GREAT PITY, INDEED,--The Emperor Napoleon is sometimes called the " Man of December." What a pity it is for Italy that he doesn't change himself into the " Man of March !" THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.—A man may "beat time" for years, but time is sure to beat him at last,—[Not from the Musical World.] NEw APPOINTMENT.—As guardian of the peace in thg parks—Rain vice Mayne. INT] ERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The total attend ance at the building yesterday only amounted to 48,538 a lower numb er b y at least some 25,000 than was o confi dently looked f or b y the executive.
