The following resolutions, determined on at a previous meeting of the anchor committee, were then submitted to the parties assembled:— " 1. That the committee approve of Mr. J. Aylen's plan for trying the anchors in the parade ground of the dockyard, on the beach, under water, and at sea, and that the same be adopted. " 2. That the trials be open to anchors of all nations; that the weight of each anchor be 25 cwt., inclusive of the stock. " 3. That such of the anchors as the committee shall consider to have proved themselves superior at the pre liminary teats should be afterwards subjected to such further ones as the committee may decide on, by means of two qt.amers at sea, with regard to holding, bringing up, old tripping " head Li.eiiminaries having been concluded, the par ties proceeded to the parade-ground, which was prepared with apparatus and gear designed by J. Aylen, Esq., master-attendant, by which ingenious process no prefer once could bo given, or deception practised. The owners of the anchors then drew lots for the respective stations, port and starboard, which terminated in the following manner:— 1. Mr. lionibal (patent ee 1. Ur. J. Aylen, master at- Porter's anchor). tendant. Trotman 2. Mitcheson and Son. 2. Mr. I saacs .(American 3. Lieutenant Rodgers, R.N. anchor). 4. Mr. G. Lennox. 3. M r . improved Porter's.) 4. Admi ra l ty ( new ). The gear being affixed t o the anchors, the testing commenced. In accordan ce w i t h the a bove arrange meets, Honibal's anchor (t o t a l we i ght, 24 cwts. 3 (111. 201b5.) was opposed to Ayl en ' s (total weight, 24 cwts. 2 qrs. 241b5.). At a l ong scope of cable Aylen's came home 3 ft. 7} i n ., H on ib a l' s 1 It. 6 in. The position of the gear bein g c h ange d, so as to have the effect of a ship riding at a short s t a y p ea k , Aylen's broke out of the ground at 9 ft. 7 in., or 13 ft. 2i in. total distance from first position, Honibal's holding on settling 21 in , only. &itcheson and Son's ancho r , we i g hi ng 25 cw t s . Oqr. albs., was then tried against Isaac's American anchor of 25 cwts. Oqr. 171bs. A long scope of cable Mitcheson's dragged 1 ft. 6 in., Isaac's 5 ft. 7 in. At short stay peak Isaacs's was lifted out of the ground at 11 ft. 6 in. total distance from first position, Mitcheson's holding on at 1 ft. 8i in. total distance. The two next anchors tested were Trotman's improved Porter's, and Lieut. Rodgers', R.N.,'Exhibition Prize An chor, the total weight of the former being 25 cwt. 6 lbs, that of the latter, 94 cwt. 2 qrs. 22 lbs. Rodgers' drew 5 ft.; Trotman's, 0 ft. 71- in. At short stay peak Rod gers' came out of the ground at 18ft. total distance, Trotman's drawing only 24 in., holding on at 3 ft. 91 in. total distance from first position. The anchor invented by Mr. G. W. Lennox (the con tractor for cables and anchors used by the navy) was then tried against the Admiralty anchor, constructed on Sir William Parker's plan. Their weights were 24 cwt. 1 qr. 25 lbs., and 25 cwt., respectively. At long scope Lennox'e drew 2 ft. 71 in., the Admiralty 1 ft. 61 in.; at short stay peak Lennox's broke out of the ground at 17 ft. 11 in., the Ad m i ra l ty h av i ng d rawn atotaldtihse tance of 10 ft. 81 in. This concluded th e fi rs t d ay ' s exper i men ts, leaving four best anchors to be tested against each other. SECOND DAY'S TRIAL. The experiments were resumed this day ?t nine m A.., Llonibal's being opposed to Mit c h eson and Son's anchor. At long scope Mitcheson' s 5 f t . 6 i n ., llonibal's 4 ft. 41 in. At short stay peak, Mitcheson's came out of th e ground 24 ft. 41 in., Llonibal's dragging 6 ft. 8 1 in. total distance. The next contest was between the Admiralty and Trotman's anchors. The former at long scope drew 6 ft. 8 in., the latter 4 ft. 10i in. At short stay peak the Admiralty anchor was forced out of the ground at a total distance of 22 ft. 10 in., Trotman's drawing 9 ft. 11 in. from first position, but still holding on. The eight competing anchors were now reduced to two, viz., Honibal's and Trotman's, to contest for supe riority. These partaking of the same principle, the greatest possible interest was evinced by the jury and all assembled as to the result of the trial. Honibal'a at long scope drew 5 ft., Trotman's 6 ft. 5 in. After a most severe contest at short stay peak, the great strain applied making the blocks and gear creak, Honibal's was eventually wrenched out of the ground at 16 ft. 6 in. total distance, as against 10 ft. 2 in. for Trotman's, which still held on. . These represent bower anchors, combining the two great essentials, strength and holding power. Lieutenant Rodgers, R.N., having sent in an anchor which he designated a stream kedge, possessing holding power without sufficient strength, the committee at the onset considered it eligible for trial. Lieutenant Rod gers however, evincing great anxiety that it should b e tried against Trotman's, which bad in this series of ex periments proved itself the most efficient, the committee appealed to Mr. Trotman on the subject, who forthwith accepted the challenge. The following result of t h e trial, in our opinion, confirms most fully the great superiority of T ro t man ' s p r inciple over that of Lieute nant Rodgers. The anchors being placed port and starboard re spectively, the gear a tt ac hed, and strain applied, R od. gers's:at lon g sco p e d ragge d 7 ft. Si in.; Trotma n ' s, 6 ft. At short st a y p ea k R o d gers 's w as pulled out of the ground at 24 fr. 6 in. ; Trotman's holding on at 9 ft. 1 i n, total dista nces f rom fi rst position. This terminated the second day's trial. THIRD DAY ' S TRIA L, The exp er i men t s were r enewed this day at nin e A,3i . , by placin g Mit c h eson an d Son's anchor in competition with the Admiralty new one. The strain being applied Mitchoson's at long scope drew 1 ft. 6i in.; the Admi ralty's 8 f t . 7 in. At short stay peak the Admiralty anchor was lifted out of the ground at udistance of 14 ft. 91 in. from its first position, Mitchesai's firmly holding on, and not dragging the least.

The committee of management having assembled at nine A.M. on Thursday, July 1, in the office of Captain C. Hope, superintendent of the dockyard, at Sheerness, the following suggestions of the proper qualities for it good bower anchor, as also the conditions and plans on which the trials were to be conducted, were read over to the competitors, and assented to:— " Proper qualities for a good bower anchor, viz., strength; holdi ng , part i cularly when at a short stay, and being obliged to make sail; weight, and facility for stowage; quick holding, sweeping, tripping, fouling fishing in a heavy sea way, and stowing. • " FIRST TRIAL PAN. " At the t es ti ng ground in he l d ockyard a fourfold purchase to be attached to each anchor, the falls to be toggled to a pendant and jewel block, with one purchase to be brought to a capstan. " The testing ground to be marked for the anchors, and their turn for trial to be drawn for; from the capstan those to the right will be marked starboard, and those to the left port. Numbers to commence from the extreme ends of the testing ground. The pee of the anchor to be placed in its berth, according to the number drawn, and, after testing their burying properties, the cables (being already rove in the testing blocks) are then to be triced to the sheerheads, agreeably to the wishes of the committee, to test their holding qualities with a short scope of cable. " SECOND TRIAL PLAN. " At the testing ground on the beach the same rules are to be observed as in the dockyard, and another turn for trial to be drawn for, the pee of the anchor to be placed at low-water mark, if agreeable to the wishes of the committee, the purchase to be nearly the same as that used in the dockyard with one capstan. Hemp cables to be used if sheers are required; if otherwise, chain. " THIRD TRIAL PLAN. " A mooring lighter to be moored at the Little Nore, her rudder to be unshipped, the bridles to be of hemp, attached to the moorings, to be taken in over the stern, with a sufficient length to veer, if required, 30 or 40 fathoms, the size of the cable to be 15 inches, the moor ings to be laid across the tide, in order that the trials may take place with the flood or ebb tide; another turn to be drawn for. of his anchor, weighing 25 cwts. 0 qrs. 8 lbs., induced the committee to allow it to he tested with one of the new Admiralty anchors, weighing 30 cwts. 19 qrs. 171bs. At long scope the Admiralty anchor was drawn 3 ft. 10 in., and Trotman's 6 ft.

In this case at first trial, on a long scope of cable, Trotman's was dragged by the Admiralty anchor 6 ft. 8 in , the latter dragging 6 ft. 71 in. On the second trial, at short stay, Trotman's anchor was tripped out of the ground at 25 ft. total distance from first position, holding firmly to the last foot of ground. The total distance dragged by the Admiralty anchor was 10 ft. Ili in., being a distance of 4 ft. 4 in. The Ad miralty was drawn during the second experiment. With this terminated the trial of anchors on dry land. On Friday, the 16th inst., the second series of trials will commence on the beach at the back garrison. Judging from the results attained by the first series of experiments, it would appear that Trotman's im proved Porter's anchor possesses fully 25 per cent. more holding properties on dry land than any other with which it has been tried. Mr. Trotman feels confident that similar results will attend the subsequent trials on the beach and afloat. Should such be the case, which we confidently expect, the :abours of the committee will bo repaid in the feeling satisfaction of having rendered to the maritime interests of this country, and to hu manity generally, a great boon in an improved and truly efficient anchor, formed on purely scientific prin ciples worthy of the age in which wo live. It is impos sible to overrate the importance of these experiments (the first series of which have been brought to a close), their tendency being the preservation of life and property. OUItT CIRCULAR.

ENGLISH BARDS IN Igs 0.--If Scott wrote for gentlemen and yeomen, Moore for society, Byron for what was blase in society , the English bard s o f 1850 write for an audience of poets. No plain man can comprehend them; their modes of thought and diction require a study to under stand, and an apprenticeship to admire. Now, this is pro gress in a wrong, that is, in a backward direction. To be exclusive in not to be great, except in one's own op inion. This may do for the aristocracy o f birth and wealth, but not for that of talent or genius, which must be judged and ap preciated by other voices th an th ose of its own re tainers.

No. CCLXIII. THE DERBY OF 1853. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--It has for several years been a rule of mice to publish nay remarks on tho candidates for primary honours for the Derby at the least a year before the time set down for its decision, and also what I consider the best yearlings for the Derby following. This plan, which I started some years ago, more for my own amuse ment than anybody else, seemed to take the attention of a portion of the sporting world, and being the only writer of s uc h ear l y remarks t h e public now look as regularly for the appearance of them, about the usual time, as they would for any other fixture: consequently it is now expected of me to furnish my team for the Derby of 1853, and my first selection for that of 1854—the latter, in my opinion, somewh a t uncalled-for. These early remarks of mine have: always been tolerably successful. Two years ago, for instance, in my first selection for the Derby of the present year, I gave four horses as being the most prominent and promising foals of 1849; two of them, however, went all to pieces, the other two, Daniel O'Rourke and Claverhouse, ran first and last in the great race at Epsom, the last-named being amiss, to which his inglorious position may be assigned. On the 11th of June last year I gave the following as the moat attractive foals of 1850:—Lord Fauconberg, Phryne colt (now tilled The Reiver), Break-o'-day Boy, Barbelle colt (now called Vanderdecken), Joannina colt, Friar Tuck, Constantine, and ono or two others, who did not so much as enter for the race. Of this lot TILE REITER has already proved his quality, being one of the hest horses of the day, and about the best in next year's Derby. Unlike his brother, he stands rather firm than otherwise on his legs, has larger and more muscular quarters, possessing great leverage, and at present rises fifteen hands two inches and a half. VANDERDECKEN I am very much afraid is not likely to equal his brother the Flying Dutchman in any i re spect, alth oug h , as h e has never been prepared yet, tis difficult to judg e o f hi s mer i ts . H e i s a fine looking horse, and I shall stand by him until I have ocular demonstration of his incapacity on a hilly course. Friar Tuck is already, and I am very much afraid the Joannina colt will be, a failure; and I cannot say that I entertain a very superior opinion of Constantine, as his legs are not the best in " hull creation." Lord Fauconberg's only appearance in public was not a very crack affair, but as ho was not thoroughly up to his work, if his running on that occasion is taken by any one as a criterion of his merits, he will find by his future performance that he has committed a notable blunder— nevertheless, he will not win the Derby. Of all the outsiders commend me to BREAK-O'DAY BOY, who, in all probability, will turn out a horse of the Barbarian stamp. John Scott's hopes it is supposed are centered in West Australian and Hurworth; the former is unlikely to accomplish anythi ng , an d the latter—a stalky looking animal—is destined probably to do a great deal, as he gives every sign of filling up satisfactorily. Lord Egliuton's lot will be represented, as far as pre sent appear ances speak, by Vanderdecken' Strait Ja'ket being a parti cu l arly valueless brute; and fo r this race, Erycthon, Sir W a lt er, and Cusworth ar9no better. John Day's lot thi s y ear numbers' a dozen, the majo rity of whom are not worth 1001. a piece. Cineas and Vaultress are by far his best; the latter, however, will scarcely be pulled out for the Derby, as, in the' first place, they consider the former to be superior for any distance greater than three-quarters of a mile; and, in the next place, as they seem inclined by continued " pre parations" to work all the steam out of the filly, I h ave but little doubt but that she will be a failure altogether next year. Cineas, a horse capable of great improvement, is sure to be an immense favourite between now and the day; but as the ab s olute w i n n er of th e " great go,' , cannot for an instant take his chance into consideration. General Anson's nominations are completely unfor tunate; as aro Messrs. E. R. Cl ar k e ' s , C arew ' s Drink ald's, Delauaere's, Gratwicke's (Sittingbourne said to be his best, therefore bad is the best), Greville's, Jacque's (Anglo-Saxon exck pled), Luwley's, and Thompson's. Stone Plover is not equal to his brother Stilton, and therefore likely to do nothing in this race. Peggy gives no sign of ever being equal to her sister Nancy. Should Lord Caledon's colt by Simoom, out of For tress, train on, we may have a second edition of the Barbarian game, with this his half-brother; he is a fine showy colt, and possesses many dangerous-looking points. Lord Clifden will find that Glengarry will never stand training; at least I think so. Lord Derby's couple, Umbriel and Hobbyhorse, I fancy will turn out good, but not good enough for this race. Dixon imagines, I believe, that he has got a good horse in his colt out of Sextus. Of Lord Exeter's string, -- Filbert and Cobnut are supposed to be the best, but they are a queer lot altogether. Tamerlane is good enough to win such races as that at Hampton, but quite out of the polo at Epsom. Miss Whip's best produce is this year to be found in Doubletheng ; there is no hope, however, for Lord Glasgow. All Sir Joseph Hawley's nominations, scattered here, there and everywhere, are failures, the lot not being worth a thousand. Thero has been some talk of Towton in the north, but I think his hopes rest entirely on talk. ORESTES, as fine a specimen of the Orlando blood as any une could wish to see, is a very dangerous looking animal, though scsrcely of the sort to bo classed with The ll2iver. CHEDDAR I have considerable doubts about ; that the horse possesses considerable speed is evident to every one who witnessed his running' at Ascot, but I consider he is deficient in that great requisite, heart. As an outsider, however, his chance is not so very forlorn. The best of Mr. Payne's nominations, I expect, is Pindus. Lord Ribblesdale's interest, I fancy, will bo based on TALFoURD, who is uncommonly like his brother Tad mor, and I think it not at all improbable he may turn out just as well. The Goodwood stable will no doubt send forth WIL LIAM RUFUS as their champion, who is some such an other animal as his brother the Conqueror was. Rataplan and Dupe are the only other two worth men tioning: the former is at present out of condition, and the latter I cannot find out what he is doing, or what sort of an animal he is in particular. Such are my present opinions of the candidates for the possession of the Derby laurels of 1853. Among the present favourites, of course it will be seen that my pre ference is for THE REivEit, and on the outside list in clines to BREAK-O'DAY BOY, TALFOURD, and the For tress colt; those names that are printed in capitals being most likely to furnish the futur e favourites, and the leading horses in the race. The entry for the Derby of 1854 closes to-day, con sequently I shall defer giving my opinion of the m ost promising foals of last year until i have ascertained th a t they are entered.—l em, Ste, July 10.

MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Alining Journal of this day.) There has been considerably less business doing this week in shares, owing chiefly to the general election, and the excitement naturally occasioned thereby. Divi dend shares, however, are in demand, and prices are well maintained. South Frances have advanced from 137 to 142, 145; West Caradon, from 145 to 160; Bas t set, from 475 to 500. Bedford United, Great .Polgooth, Merllyn, South Tamar, and Tincroft are steady in price, / and business doing in all of them. Clive, Kilbricken, Vale of Towy, Harriett, Trevelyan, and Wein Wheal Alfred, are in fair request. Doubtless the prevent state of the money, as well as metal market, will tend to pro mote largo dealings, not only in good dividend mines, but likewise those of a productive character, indicating their approach towards the same enviable result.
