The attendance, as usual on a cup day, ;showed a large increase upon that of Tuesday, and the racing was of an improved character. A shower fell in the morning ; but the sky cleared, and rendered the sport agreeable, not to vi sitors only, but also to the regular frequenters of a race course, to whom opportunities were offered between the running of two plates for betting upon future events. The Doncaster St. Leger was then touched upon,'aud some few changes occurring since our last quotations were notice able. Before going to the course Caractacus obtained the call of The Marquis in the ring formed at the Ship Hotel, where the ball-room was gratuitously thrown open to mem bers of the Subscription-room at Tattersall's. The features of the day were, the clever way in whioh Gunner won the Biennial Stakes, the disposition evinced to back him for the Derby, and the running away of a mare named Mary Stuart. while bar atitaf , nninifa waited at tho for the Grand Stand Plate. Much time was lost by this and other contrarieties, and the Cup race, fixed for five o'clock, did not take place till after six, when it produced a magni ficent trial of skill between two of the finest jockeys of the day.

After settling into their places, Twilight took up the running, having Acco, Drumstick, Knight of the Bath, David A nn , and Fractious in close attendance, the others lying in a clus ter at their heels. On their fairly entering th e s t ra i g ht , Knight of the Bath rushed to the front and came on with a clear lead, having Twilight and Acco on his whip hand, with David Ann, the Frenchman, and Drumstick next on the lower side, nothing else hav in g a chan ce. O n reach i ng the distance, David Ann, in company w ith F ract i ous, dropped away beaten, Twilight at the same time joined Lord Westmoreland's colt, the pair running together to the stand, where the old one got his head in front, and won a fine race home by three parts of a length ; Acco finished a bad third, Odine fourth, Drumstick fifth, Quicksilver sixth, and Davil Ann next, the others we re Pulling up as they passed the post, the last being Marcellus, On returning to scale an objection was m ade by J. --- (4,4 .nashaw against the rider of Twilight, on the ground of a cross within a few strides of the chair, whichwas immediat e l y i nvest i gated by the Stewards, and at once dismissed.

She was led back, when Consternation gave evidence of the same unruly conduct, and upwards of an hour was lost before they could be got away.

In this order they entered the straight, where Atherstone drew forward, and on their reaching the bottom he took the second place, and came on in waiting upon Lord W. Powlett's mare to the stand, where Fordham made an attempt to get up, but was never enabled so to do, and was beaten, after a fine race, by a long head; three lengths between the second and third; Watch fire finished a bad fourth. ~~ ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON .REGATIA. COWES, Am 6. The melancholy event which plunged a nation into mourning last December has had a most preju dicial effect on the fortunes of the annual aquatic festival here, and has prevented the admirers of the noble sport of yachting from witnessing or partak ing in the contests which have hitherto taken place at Cowes among the vessels of the Royal Yacht Squadron. All aquatic readers know that for many years it has been customary for her Majesty and the late Prince Consort to give cups of the value of XlOO each, to be sailed for by vessels belonging to mem bers of the squadron, and although the death of his royal highness naturally prevented one of these gifts from being conferred as usual, it was presumed that her Majesty's cup would be given, and on this supposition an official announcement was made some time since that the match would take place, which announcement has been often repeated ; and indeed, the official advertisement of the squadron appeared in Bell's Life in London on Sunday last, so that no one imagined any alterations in the arrangements would be made ; but it appears that the committee of the squadron and the yachting world were doomed to be disappointed, for at the last moment, after nume rous vessels had arrived here to take part in the con test and hopes had been excited that one of the finest matches that had been seen for many years would take place, the bills issued and circulated through the town were withdrawn on Friday, and it was announced that there had been a misapprehension, and that her Majesty did not intend to give a cup this year, nor to give the usual donation towards the funds of the town regatta. When it is remem bered that the Queen and her late Consort have hitherto taken a warm interest in the matches for the cups given by herself and his royal highness, 4 . - - .1.- carrie carried on at the town regatta, it can hardly be a matter of surprise that her Majesty should have been unwilling to sanction any immediate revival of scenes which would have recalled so forcibly the calamity which has befallen the royal house and the country ; but this does not seem to justify the course pursued by the committee of the squadron in giving publicity, without decided warranty, to an announcement which has had the effect of drawing hither so many persons, and of causing so much disappointment and vexation. In anticipation that the Queen's cup would be sailed for as usual, that the squadron would also give an open prize, and that the year would prove one of more than ordinary interest to the yachting world, there have been more vessels fitted out this season than for a long time past. It is true it was announced that the Queen's cup would be the only match of the regatta, and that the customary ball, dinner, and fireworks would not take place, but it was logically presumed that if her Majesty's cup would be sailed for (and of course after the official announcement was so pertinaciously repeated the public had no doubt this event would take place) the squadron would think it no mark of disrespect to the memory of his royal highness if they gave their annual prize, and thus the disappointment has been all the more severely felt. As a proof that the general body of the members of the squadron anticipated that the contest for the cup would take place, it may bo mentioned that two schooners were entered, and additional interest was felt in the match as the conditions were al tered this year, for whereas the contending yachts have been hitherto required to be of above 200 tons burden, this year it was stated that vessels must be under that amount of tonnage. This alteration gave great satisfaction generally, as the redoubt able Alarm was thereby excluded from the contest, and other and smaller vessels having a chance of carrying off the prize, there is no doubt that before the list of entries had dosed six or eight yachts would have been nominated to compete. At a meeting of the squadron last week it was announced that the respected vice -commodore, Mr. C. IL M. Talbot had resigned, and that another gentleman would be elected as his successor at the next meeting. The Marquis of Conyngham is a candidate for the vacancy. The town of Cowes is almost as fall as usual of distinguished visitors, and the roads present the customary magnificent spectacle of a fleet of splen did specimens of naval architecture, of the largest tonnage known to any yacht club in the world. The sister yacht club, the Royal Victoria of Ryde, hearing that there was a disinclination on the part of the members of the squadron to cele brate the aquatic festival in the customary manner, held a meeting last week, at which the matter was discussed. The majority of the members felt inclined to hold a regatta as usual, but the com modore, Mr. G. H. Ackers, and the vice-commo dore, Mr. T. Chamberlayne, were of a different opinion ; and the result is that both the . officials have resigned. No less than six the distin guishedprinci- pal noblemen were competitors for and the pal post, but no one was formally proposed,' Thlluason, meeting deferred the election. Captain vice-com of the Aline, was subsequently elae e l a tter mcdore. The week will not be entirely a blank as re gards racing, for last n i g ht a match was made between Colonel Markham, owner of the Sultana, schooner, 130 tons, and Lord Londesborough, o f t h e Albcrtine, schoo ner, 156 tons, to sail their eastward ves sels in a private match. The course to be from C o wes to Lehe Bu o y , about four miles to the west ward, on the Sol ent, and thence round the Nab light-vessel, and return to C owes—twice round. The vessels started accordin g l y this morning at aboufa quarter before noon ' when -- in S u lt ana passed her larger opponent to windward, and in beating up to the b uo y ga ined a lead of about two minutes. It was generally presumed that she would be beaten in her turn in running, and this presumption was fully verified, for on paHg itnogiCmo.w2eosBC., as a t n l d e tbheeforSeultthaenya'hs a l d ea d d is w a ; e on r reduced tdeor in rounding Old Castle Point to the eastward, e h way to complete the first round, there was but 20 seconds difference between them. There was every prospect of this being a good match, as there was a fine south-wester blowing, and as at the time of starting it was about low water, in running to the Nab they had the flood with them. Shortly before three the vessels were seen returning from the Nab, and still there was about a minute's difference be tween them, the Albertine leading by this time. The Sultana so far had the best of it, as her larger opponent had to allow her film. The match was watched with great interest at this time, to sec if the Sultana would again beat her opponent in tack ing, but in a short time it was evident that some thing was wrong on board the Albertine, and a boat was seen to be lowered from her. As only two men could be seen to put off in her, and as three were soon afterwards seen to board the yacht from her, there was little doubt but that a man had some how fallen overboard. The Albertine having thus lost so much time, her racing flag was hauled down, and she returned to Cowes, when it was stated that the clew of the foresail had given way, and that in repairing damages the man fell into the sea. The Sultana continued the course, and on completing the first round a gun from the Lotus, from which vessel they were started, proclaimed her the winner of the stakes, amounting, as it was understood, to .£5O, but under the circumstances it is doubtful if her gallant owner will claim the substantial reward of victory. Nothing has yet been decided as to any other contest during the week. FEMALE PRISONERS AT MILLBANK. (From Female Life in Prison. By a Prison /1/atron.) The first inexorable rule to which the new pri soner has to submit, and which is a trial that is always one of the hardest to bear, is that of having the hair cut out. With the woman new to the rules, a comer who has not sat in that room before, with the scissors of Atropos snipping round her head, it is seldom performed without a remon strance. Women whose hearts have not quailed perhaps, at the murder of their infants, or the poi soning of their husbands, clasp their hands in horror at this sacrifice of their natural adornment; weep, beg, pray, occasionally assume a defiant atti tude and resist to the last, and are finally overcome by force. It is one of the most painful tasks of the prison, this hair-cutting operation—moreover it is, in my opinion at least, a test of character. One woman will be resigned to her fate in the instant, and with a Socratic stoicism will compress her lips and submit herself to the shears, and march away to her bath in a business-like manner_ A second will have a shivering fit over it, a third will weep passionately, and a fourth will pray to be spared the indignity; and implore the matron on her knees to go to the lady-superintendent and state her case for her. Some women are impressed with the idea that coaxing will go a long way to wards softening the matron's heart, or at least ob tain a variation in the rules, and a less length of hair from their heads ; and consequently bestow many " My dears," and " God bless you's" on the operator. The greatest trouble in my experience of prison life was with an old woman of 60 years of age, and with about the same number of grey hairs to her head_ She was an old prison-bird— had spent two-thirds of her life in prison, and was as vain of her personal appearance as any girl of seventeen. " No, Miss B." she said to the operator after catching sight of the scissors, and drawing herself up with the haughtiness of a duchess—‘' not this time, if you please, Miss B. It can't be done." But Miss B. replied it could be done, and was ab --'---a., ---- --r .-- v•-• Ann , . before the nrign , “ - left the room. " Things have altered a little, Miss 8., since I saw you last, I can assure you. You've no power to touch a hair of my head, mum." " How's that ?" "If you please, mum, I'm mar ried," and the old woman regarded the matron with undisguised triumph. " And what's that to do with it ?—sit down—you really must sit down." " What's that to do with it ?" shrieked the old woman, indignantly; "IV hy, it's my husband's hair now, and you daren't touch it, according to law. It belongs to my husband, not to me, and you've no right to touch it. Lord bless you, the Queen of England daren't lay a finger on it now." And the old woman's staunch faith in the law of her country to protect her grey hairs, would in any other place, under any other circumstance, have been supremely ludicrous. Argument with her was useless—she did not see that anything more was required after an expression of her opinion—she would not object to the bath, because the law had nothing to say in the matter of baths to married women, but her hair couldn't be touched by any mortal power. When there were signs of being uninfluenced by her eloquent exposition, she de manded to see the governor—he knew the law of England, of course—and when her hair was cut to the statutable length, she vowed to make a full statement of the ease to the directors, on the next board meeting, and please put her name down to see those directors at once. Such an infamous violation of the laws of her country she had never been a witness to in her time. And strange as it may appear, the plea of mar riage has latterly been very often urged by prisoners, under the same circumstance. " It's their husband's hair" has now become a constant reason why the rules of the prison should be waived in their particular cases. And when it is not urged as a plea, women,whom a repetition of crime has brought back to the old quarters, gener ally offer, as their first piece of information, that they have been married since their last incarcera tion. There is a peculiar craving to be cons i dered an " honest married woman," and the hus b and,. more often than otherwise,isalleged to to the military be i . n . the army, probably out of compliment There character of the governor and his deputy. irectly have been times, as I have alreatairi indg all idea of men tioned, when some woman, re dis cipline, will stoutly maintainh_simesradnetermination not , if my memory to have her hair cut. one woman , do not fail me, fro m Stafford gaol, persisted in scof fing e fforts of t he matron, and re plying thereto b- at all persuas i vea torr ent of vituperation.

In this case it required three men to secure her wrists while her hair was cut the re quisite length, she struggling, and cursing, and swearing long after the operation was over, even when she was in her refractory cell, and the gas was burning feebly in the wards, and the matron on night duty was gliding noiselessly along the passages, and the clock in the yard was chiming the early hours of morning. I can remember one pri soner delirious for a day and night after the ope ration—the mortification of losing her hair, or the impression made upon a nature more highly sensi tive than ordinary, tending to that un frequent re sult. She was a young, fair Scotch girl, and h er " Dinna cut my hair—oh, dinna cut my hair," rang along the deserted corridors with a plaintive earnestness.

The principal actor is Harvey Teesdale, come dian, and the intended victim is his wife. The parties reside in Blind-lane, and for some time past appear to have been living unhappily together, mutual recriminations respecting each other's con jugal fidelity being of frequent occurrence. Vie neighbours say that both were faulty, and that each. contributed their quota to the cause of domestic bickerings and strife. A little before four o'clock on Monday afternoon last Teesdale went to his house, in company with a man. On arriving on the steps of the house, it is said, he turned suddenly round and struck his companion a blow in the face with his fist, which sent Lim rolling into the street. He then rushed into the house, fastened the door on the inside, and directly afterwards the report of a p isto l was heard. This alarmed the neighbours and patsers-by, and a rush was made by severAl persons toward s the door and the Ai indow:- of the. dwelling, which resisted their efforts to force for a few moments. Happily they soon gave way, and the house was entered. The wife was dis covered with her fac e covere d w i t h bl oo d , an d Teesdale with his head lying back on the sofa, the wa s had at in the act of drawing a razor across his own throat.

She was removed to the Sheffield Infirmary, where she now lies, and we believe there is every hope of her ultimate reco very. It is said that th e p risoner stated that only on Monday morning he ha d gone down on his knees to his wife, and begged her to g ive u p her p resent course of life, and leave th e nei g hbourhood in which she was living, and that she replied that all she wanted was to be away from him. This he assigns is the cause of the act with which he now stands charged. He also said that he had been obliged to give up four theatrical engagements lately through her conduct, and that she was train ing up his two girls to be as bad as herself. The act was evidently a premeditated one if the above statement be correct.—Shegield Independent. THE MYSTERIOUS PO.RT.RAIT.- LORD PALMEBSTON A ITER THE SESSION. At the quarterly meeting of the Dover Town Council yesterday (Aug. 6), a laughable conversa tion occurred with reference to the portrait of Lord Palmerston, which it appears has come to hand in a most mysterious and unfathomable a manner ; nor were all the efforts of the members present sufficient to induce the Mayor (who alone possessed the key of the secret) to unravel it. The minute upon the " agenda paper" was, that " the council order an address to the Lord Warden on the presentation to him of his portrait by the town." An inquiry was generally made as to where and how the portrait in question has been obtained. The Mayor assured the council that the town had. been put to no expense whatever in the matter, and with this assurance they must, for the present, rest perfectly satisfied, and not press him for any further explanation. About the 10th or 11th of this month he understood the House would be prorogued, and a few days afterwards Lord Palmerston would be at his Castle of Walmer, during which time an oppor tunity would doubtless arise to carry out the pre sentation. _ _ Mr. Worsfold—The subject is quite new to me. Mr. Poulter—And to me. [Other expressions of wonder were also heard at different parts of the hall.] Mr. Ottaway—The portrait is new, but the sub ject of it is not quite new. Mr. Robinson—lt's a very old one. Alderman Latham—We have not had a motion of council that a portrait shall be presented to his lordship. Tie Mayor T -It is not necessary. Alderman Latham—But the portrait never ap pears to have been voted. Mr. Robinson—You don't understand; it's a por trait given to the council for the purpose of being presented to his lordship. Mr. Worsfold—Then the person who orders the " rent the portrait had better order the address. The Town Clerk explained that the town gave the The p Mayor—Yes , ortraittobehu n a g g u re p a i t n d t e h a e l. Town - hall. Mr. Smith—ls there any objection to nam e the artist it is by ? Mr. Smith—There seems to be a deal of mystery about it. The Mayor—Be satisfied that it is a very excel lent portrait by a first-rate artist. His lordship has been executed by a man who wears the gold. medals of the R.S. Mr. Ottaway—l suppose all this mystery will be cleared up at a future time. Mr. Poulter—l don't understand it at all; this p ' ortrait is to be given by the town to the Lord — Warden, and no one in the town knows anything at all about it, and then the Lord Warden is to give it to the town, that it may be hung up in the Town hall. Mr. Smith—lt's a most discreditable thing. Captain Noble—We had better ask permiskiion to hang his lordship in the Town-hall. Mr. Robinson—Would it not be a little more congenial to his lordship's feelings, hanging up, we should s ay " placed ?" ins t e ad of Alderman Latham—Here is a port rait from an unknown hand. We don't present it; and I lord would move that thanks be presented W his ship for having sat to Mrs. Harris, the artist. Captain Noble—That is not the artist's name —he's a man with gold medals. Alderman Latham —The Mayor said Mrs. Harris (RS.). If it is not her, it is some person equally difficult to get at. The Mayor, in order to simplify the matter, begged to suggest that some one move that space be found in the hlill. Mr. S. Finnic thought it would be a proud thing for their children hereafter to see an excellent per trait of so exa lt e d a man, and urging full confid ence in the Mayor, moved that an address be presented.

EXTRAORDINARY WILL CASE. .., - Judgment has just been delivered in the Maclean will case, by the Lord Justice Clerk, in the Court of Session, Edinburgh. The case had been for the preceding eight days before the Court and a special jury. The pursuers were a number of the relatives of the late Lieut.-Colonel Maclean, formerly of the 86th R eg i men t an d 3d West India Regiment, who for the last few years of his life re sided at Millport, Cumbrae, and who died there on iAp r illB, 1859, at the age o f about 80; and the defend ers zuen wereof his trustees, under his trust disposition and sett ie ectively date October 27 , 1856 , and two codicils, dated rasp left the June 7, 185 8 , and February 19, 1859, by whic to found an b u lk of his property, amounting to £2 0 , 00° of boys of the i ns titution for the education of a nuraberthe challenge of nam e of Maclean ; th e groun d on h.
