Out of the four races en the card for the first day (to mor row) two—the Hunters' grid Selling Stakes—do not close and Lame until this evening. The Lincolnshire Handicap Stakes of 10 sovs. each, 5 ft, &c, notwithstanding the addition of 1001., has only a dozen acceptances; of whom Ethelw olf and Merry Bird seem to be as well in as any, although Little Queen, 6 yrs old, has only 6st 7th up; yet there is a marked dif ference in the grade between her and the couple of three yrs eld. Alp, 6 yrs, 7st 71b, also is well in, and ought to travel home in company with the leading horses. In short, if Ethelwolf runs (which is by no means a cer tainty, as he is engaged to-day at Stourbridge), he will be about winning; tailing him, I shall look to Osborne to produce the winner. The Lincoln Triennial Slakes ; should Merry Bird come to the post all right, she will carry off; in her ab sence the MAID OF LINCOLN and BALBATA will be first and second. On Wednesday Osborne, in all probability, will take the Revival Stakes by a walk over. Fur the 13rocklesby Stgkes, Waterfall ought to fall an easy prey to 'DIE REAPER; yet I give this condition ally, fur it' he has not recovered from the lameness he gay, signs of at York he will not do here, and Brawn or Puritan will take the stake. Her Majesty's Plate, the Brownlow and Burleigh Stakes, have not closed as yet, and these stakes bring the meeting to a conclusion. For such a staunch supporter of the turf, Lord Glasgow is one of the unluckiest mortals breathing; for not only has ill success attended him for the last seven or eight years, but now that he seemingly has a chance to win a great stake, lo and behold, Mr. R. Stephenson, the nominator of Caracara for the Leger, departs this life, and thereby disqualifies the horse. This must Le the more provoking as it is generally reported that, after Caracara's victory at Liverpool, his Lordship deter mined en not starting him for either the Ebor, St. Leger, or Great Yorkshire Stakes, for both of which he had a fairish chacce, but would reserve him entirely for the " great go" at Doucaster.—l am, Sir, &c., Aug. 30. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE. Sits,—Every person must acknowledge the good sense of your leading article of Saturday, regarding the want of proper respect shown invariably by many of our journals to the head of the French nation. such a reproach can be made without fear by you, for as it is well known all over the country that the principles which actuate you in conducting your paper are liberal, some imagine almost to extreme, you need not dread that your motives will be misinterpreted, and that you will be looked upon as favourable to despotism. If the scurrility of a journal that pretends to lead others, and to instruct the world, were all that the French President and the French people had to complain of, it would be little, for it would deserve merely their co :tempt; but when that scurrility is merely an agent to produce impressions which are unjust, then it becomes a real and serious cause of complaint, not merely by the French, but by every Englishman who is anxious to maintain friendly relations with one of the most power ful and mcst useful nations of the world. The injustice of the journal referred to is easily shown by recalling the opinions of the leading politicians in the last House of Commons, from Lord Palmerston downwards, who concurred in saying that the coup a tai of the 2d of December was a necessity ; an unhappy necessity perhaps —but still a necessity—for it put an end to a state of uncertainty in France that could hardly be surpassed—all business was at a stand-still, the people were unemployed, every thing of value was being gradually sent, for greater security, to other countries; for the House of Representatives, instead of legislating for the good of France, was split into rival factions, who only combined to neutralize the efforts of any that became for the moment paramount. I t is true that Lord Palmerston confessed himself not prepared to approve of the way the coup d'etat was effected, but he could hardly be prepared to condemn it; for decision, and even severity, under such painful cir cumstances was humanity, checking a resistance which could only have ended in a greater loss of life, and per haps ripened from an emeute to a civil war. The subse quent acts of Prince Louis Napoleon were necessary to secure the order he had restored—to call them cruel is not only unjust, it is silly; it is as if a man with a mor tified leg, that required amputating, went to his doctor, and then called him a brute for cutting it off. It is a matter of surprise to some how a journal which can regard despotism leniently, and even compla cently, in the north of Europe, is so rabid at the mere sembance of it in the south. Does it dread that the consolidation of power in France will check the progress of Russian influence, which extends already nearly to the Rhine? or would it revive passions in France and England, which happily are every year becoming extinct, to allay the quakings of a few paltry German princi palities? Away with such short-sighted and dangerous policy! If the invention of railways makes amalgama tion necessary upon the Continent, let France have her share, but it were a crime to jeopardize the friendly re- 1 lotions of France and England to protect the interests of a family, should that family be even that of the Queen of Great Britain. The time, happily, no longer exists when en act of the Legislature is possible to restrain the liberty of the press. In the absence of such control it behoves every man who would preserve that liberty which is so necessary, to take care that it does not degenerate to the most unprincipled, unbridled license, and, from being devoted to the cause of truth and the interest of the people, it should serve merely the purposes of a f amil y or the designs of a clique.—Yours, &c,, C. W. S. Westbourne-grove. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. By the Royal Mail stearni•hip thagars, Stone, commander, we have advices from Yew York to the 17th, and Boston to the 18th inst. She has 150,0001. dollars in specie on freight. The Niagara passed the steamship Asia, hence for New York, at 3.30 A.M. on the 223. The Royal Mail steamship Canada, Lang, com mander, which sailed from this port on the 7th, arrived at Boston on the 18th inst. ; and the United States' Mail steamship Franklin, Wootton, comman der, which sailed from Cowes on the 4th, arrived at New York on the 16th inst. The steamships Illinois and Northern Light bad arrived at New York with advices from San Fran cisco to the 16th ult. The former vessel had 1,918,437 dolls. in golddust, and the latter upwards of 150,000 dolls. on freight and in the hands of passengers. The West India Mail steamship Dee was at San Juan. Her Majesty's ship Calypso was off the port of San Juan on the Skth ult., on a cruise. Her officers and crew were all well. San Juan was healthy, and the interior perfectly quiet. The market was dull and well supplied with goods. From the Society Islands we have accounts to the 26th of May. The long disputed question regarding the sovereignty of those islands had at length been settled by the recognition of the elder son of Queen Pomare as King of Raiatea, her second son as King of Huahina, and her daughter as Queen of Bolobolo. A. matrimonial alliance was in contemplation between the latter and Prince Kamehameha, of the Sandwich Islands. In the Senate of the 14th the proceedings were unusually interesting, Senator Se ward having deli vered a somewhat novel, and, at the same time, im portant speech, in defence of the administration of the fishery question. It was novel from the fact that it was seemingly an :attempt to smooth over the party difficulty between himself and the President; and im portant from the fact that he had previously been in consultation with Mr. Webster and Mr. Crampton, and doubtless spoke under a full knowledge of all the circumstances of the case. He showed that England, so far from having increased her force in the vicinity of the North American provinces, had actually re duced it by 33 guns during the last twelve months. Speaking of the condition of the English power in Canada and the British provinces, the Hon. Geutle man said— " They have never, since the war of 1812, had so small a military force in those provinces as now. The Imperal Government has maintained heretofore some show of naval defence upon our lakes; but within the last six months it has broken up the whole naval force there, and now none whatever exists. While thus show ing the supposed motives to peace on the part of Great Britain, I confess that peace is no less the interest and the instinct of our own country. The United States might aggrandize themselves by war, but they are sure to bo aggrandized by peace. I thank God that the peace of the world is largely subject to the control of these two great Powers, and that while they have common dispo sitions towards harmony, neither has teed of war to establish its character for firmness or for courage. Each has had enough of "' The camp, the host, the fight, the conqueror's career.' " The news from California is interesting. One of the largest pieces of gold ever brought to San Fran cisco had been found at Viacita, Calaveras County. Its weight is upwards of 20}1b., and it was valued at 5,400 dolls. It was found 60 feet below the surface. The mines generally continued to yield well. The waters throughout the country were rapidly falling. Long canals were in progress of construction for con veying water to spots known to be auriferous, hut un productive from the want of it. Multitudes of Chinese continued to arrive at San Francisco, upwards of 4,000 having arrived within the fortnight ending the 16th. They made their way at once to the mines, the hos tility of the miners towards them having, in a great measure, abated. The 4th of July was celebrated in San Francisco with great spirit by a long procession, &c. Conspicuous in the procession was a long line of Chinese, richly dressed, and bearing a huge national banner of crimson silk, on which was emblazoned in golden embroidery the royal dragon. They are said to have expended 12,000 dolls. in getting up their portion of the procession. The news of the nomina tion of Pierce and King had reached San Francisco, and had created much surprise ; the democratic party, however, were highly pleased with the nomina tions, and fired 150 guns from the plaza in honour of the occasion. The parties who had left San Francisco for Queen Charlotte's Island in search of gold have returned without success. They were convinced, however, that gold abounded on the island, as large quantities were seen in the hands of the Indians. The Hudson's Bay Company were working a vein on the island with some success. In San Francisco the utmost order and quiet prevailed; in the interior, however, crime continued to:prevail, and numbers of execu tions by the people had taken place. The crops throughout the whole of California were producing an astonishing yield. A detachment of United States' troops, who were in pursuit of some Indians concerned in the murder of a party of miners ou the head waters of the Merced, succeeded in surprising them, killing five, and taking twelve prisoners ; they also destroyed their rancheria and provisions. Another party of United States' troops had also come in con tact with the Indians on Cow Creek, for having stolen 19 mules, and 15 of the Indians were slain. Murders and robberies by the Indians were of every-day occurrence in the vicinity of Canon Creek ; 57 murders, and robberies to the amount of 20,000 dolls., having been committed within a very short time. A duel had taken place between Mr. J. Nugent, the editor of the San Fran cisco Herald, and Mr. J.

Great excitement pre vailed at Mariposa, in consequence of a party of foreigners, principally Mexicans, who had been settled for some time at a place called llariposita, and bad found good diggings, having been ex pelled by a body of Americans, who denied the right of the foreigners to work them. The foreigners, to the number of 300 or 400, and headed by a few Frenchmen, resolved upon defending their meg m w er ato expel all foreig ners from the i s held by the A mericans, at which c l a i ms , but an opp osin g force of 200 Americans hav ing collecte d, the y deemed it prudent to retire, leaving Ameri cans. it was of resolved the eti A n their claims district;rt a l n y d after Property they had a retired possession a resolu tion was imme diately carried into effect.

The Bay State Company, at the Marrnaduke-hill diggings, were cutting a tunnel of 500 feet in length throu g h the solid quartz rock. There had been great morta lity on board the steam-ships S. S. Lewis and Inde pendence, on their passages to San Francisco, 14 persons having died in the former, and 12 in the latter vessel. Their deaths were attributed to their having been tainted during a three weeks' stay a t San Juan del Sud, and in consequence of being left without shelter of any kind during the rainy season. Of the passengers by the Northern Light, from New York, 34 had died-20 from exposure at San Juan del Sud, and 14 on the passage thence to San Fran cisco. It was reported in San Francisco that a fire had broken out in George Town, El Dorado County, and that the principal part of the town had been con sumed. The city of Sonora was fast recovering from the ravages of the late fire. A French, a Spanish, and a German newspaper, bad been established in San Francisco. There was no change in the quotations for money or exchange, the ruling rates having been established previous to the departure of the last steamers. Stocks were quite animated.

CHARING-CROSS BRIDGE COMPANY. The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held on Saturday at the company's offices, Villiers-street, Strand, Mr. Coles Child presid ing. ' The report stated, that the tolls for the half-year ending on the 21st of July last amounted to 3 231/.193 2d. being 3081. Os. 7d. less than the receipts for the :corres ponding period of the previous year. The rent, interest, and 'transfer fees amount e d to 84 /. 03 . 4d., id there was a sum of 1251. due for the rent of the company's wharf and premises. Although the tolls of the last six months were less than the amount received for the corresponding period of 1851, it would be borne in mind that t he Great Exhibition was open during the latter period. A comparison with a like portion of the year 1850 showed an Increase of 1131. 7s. 7d. in favour of 1852. Two calls of 10s. each bad been made on the eighth shares, to place the directors in a position to proceed with the appro ach on the Surrey side, and, the necessary notices having been served on the owners and oc cupiers of the property re q uired, the d . irectors trusted to commence the works at an early period. The direc tor. had boon enabled advantageously to employ the money received during the half-year in advance of calls on preference shares by the discharge of a further sum of 2,0801, to the Exch( quer Loan Commissioner:, in i anticipation of the instalment due December,lBs3. The directors recommend a dividend at the rate of three per cent. per annum, or 7s. Gel. on each original share, and a proportionate sum on each eighth share in the company, tree of income-tax, which, after providing for the claims against revenue, would leave a balance of 4831. The report was then agreed to, a dividend at the rate of three pi r cent. per annum was declared, and the meeting separated. CEI I TE E R R , I‘ SATURDAY NIGHT.

They kept guard upon the captaia'a cabin, and, forcing the engineer to get up steam, they pelt away at daybreak, the other ships not having come up. Captain Owen stated his convictions openly to Lieutenant Robbel o an d Sergeant Bravo , who had the command of the r evo lti ng p ar ty, stating that ho ankned , as they were not goin g t o Chil i b u t to Guayaquil; as they had not interfer e d w i t h t h em , they demanded their arms, liberty, and th e sc h ooner Mosquito, which was then in tow, and they would take care of them selves. They acknowledged the truth of this, and they said they would give the boat to them. Then Captain Owen pleaded for the officers in the cabin, saying it would be brutal to take them to Guayaquil to be mur dered.' This they said they would think about. When about five miles out a t sea t h e steamer was stopped, the email boat astern was brought round to the gateway, and all the officers in the cabin ordered up and passed in one by one, the entire force of the armed Chilians ',tending in line, with their pieces cocked , as each officer appeared, C o l one l Castle°, their old corn mend, r, was the last t o leave, and they said if he at tempted to remain th e y wculd shoot him on the spot. The boat was then l e t go, and there were in it th e of ficers, particularly Ge nera l s Wr i ght an d G ar i e r, without clothing, a scrap of pap er , or any comfort, b u t glad to escape with life. Capt a i n O wen, daring t hi s sce ne, was doubtful for the fate of hi mself and his men , a s he did not know if they intend e d to murder h i m, or t a ke them to Udine. The officers again assured him they would allow them to go to Yalta, and give them provisions a nd their arms. In about an hour the Mosquito was ordered to the gangway, and they were put aboard. They steered for Paita, where they arrived on the night of the 94th. N( xt day the port captain boarded the vessel, and, not finding any papers, ordered all to remain on board, after giving up their arms, until he sent word to the Governor at a distance of fourteen leagues. They were placed on called the Jani en ti, for better se cbaorairtdy. a sThere mal brig l wa was no news from the Governor on the 26th, but the prisoners received an assurance that they would be allowed to land on the following day. The Flores' storeship Leon was seen off the harbour at night, and anchored at four o'clock in the morn ing. Sho was boarded also by the port captain, and 80 stand of muskets taken from her, as she did not mount cannon. No communication was permitted be tween the two vessels. However, at ten o'clock at night, some of Captain Owen's party made free to take a boat brought alongside by two young men who were sent to guard the ship, and boarded the Leon, unseen by any of the Frenchmen on shore. Here they were surprised to learn that from confusion, and laxity of discipline among the troops with the fleet, no one would order, nor would any one volunteer, a message to be carried to Flores, and that the news had not reached him yet. They could, however, learn that on the 19th the fleet had arrived at Tombez, and that Flores feared the two steamers would return from Guayaquil with the mutineers and fresh troops and attack him. He, however, hoped that the American and French men-of-war at Guayaquil would not allow the stolen steamer to return, but take posses sion of her for the owner. An order had been given for the Flores fleet to return to Santa Rosa, and take off the General and his forces thence on their returning to it. The 27th brought no news from the Governor; but the brig Admaranka Blanco came to anchor on the morning of the 28th, and Capt. Owen boarded her and told the officers how the other vessels had been treated, upon which Captain Hosa swore he would not give up a pin's point to them. General Wright did not say much, and Hosa warned him that if he agreed with the autho rities and ordered him to give up his arms, he would not obey him or any man, except Flores. Upon the de mand being made he refused, and upon this all his ; he had two 18- however, he said h so e ld w ie h r u s ld an st d ay m h o n st h o o f a h r i d s c a r a ew lh l n e g ft h a i a m pounders, six 24-pound carronades, two 12-pounders, and a model brig of war. Hosa left Flores at Tombez on the 24th. He had heard of the loss of his vessels and the defalcation of the Chilians, and endeavoured to conceal it from the remaining troops. They had heard it, however, and upon the General's ordering a march into the interior, 125 Chilians refused to go, and set out, accompanied by about 150 Americans, Germans, and Peruvians. They were attacked by a force of 35* of the enemy, which landed from the rebel steamer at Ranchela, for it appears that the steamers, with one brig and one brigantine, were ordered to return and destroy his fleet. Under these circumstances, Flores had to cross the Santa Rosa river, the banks of which were lined with Urbina's men, who kept up a heavy fire. The Americans were flanking the troops, and, on arriving at the river, Flores ordered the Germans to advance, but they all faltered except their captain. The Peruvians and remaining Chilians also refused to enter the water, and, on his order in.. the cannon to the front, the m en di so b eyd h i m. Flores then ran himself, took hold of the cannon, and, assisted by a few officers, brought it to the bank of the river. He then fired it himself, and with effect, as the enemy scattered a little. The General then took off his cap, and placed it upon his sword point, shouting—' All who wish to follow me, come ont' He then ran into the water, closely followed by the Americans. Generals Valentia and the German captain were each shot in the leg in fording the river. This battle took place on the 22d, and the contending armies fought to the line of Peru—Flores refusing to enter the territory of the Peruvians. The recusant troops came up in the rear, and, as the fire was heavy, they crossed into Peru. The General asked if twenty true men would stay by him, whereupon Captain Tracey and twenty-five of the American company volunteered, and remained by him on the Ecuador side of the line. Some of the troops in their flight had reached Tombez, and the authorities came out to meet Flores, and advised him to cross the line, pile his arms, and then ho might enter the town. Flores was forced to consent, and on reaching the hacienda ho gave up 140 stand of arms, the rest having been lost by the killed, wounded, end deserting soldiery. Flores had thus marched on foot 60 leagues in three days. On the 29Lh of July Hosa was allowed to lend at Paita , for provisions and water. On th e 30t h C ap t a in Owen had dispatches from Flores, stating that he inten ded to re main at the hacienda for a f ew days, but he gave no in timation of his future plan s or intentions. Upon that evening, Major Bell and Captain Owen left by the steamer for Panama, aft er many hardships an d hair breadth escapes." _ Private letters from Pe t it e, under date the 31st o July, state that when intelli gence reac hed that city containing the informati on th at vesse l s bad left the United States for the Lobos I s l an d s t o collect guano , the prefect of the depart ment o f D e l Norte, resi ding in Piurn, ordered the garrison at the islands to be reinforced, an—il oppositi on made to all attempts to take guano without the consent of Peru.

On Saturday a casualty of an alarming character oc • curred on the North Kent line, between Gravesend and Rochester. Many persons are aware that some years ago a project was carried into effect for uniting the Thames and Medway by a canal leading from Rochester to Gravesend, and in order to accomplish this object it was found necessary to cut a tunnel, two miles and a quarter in length, through the immense chalk hills ex tending from Frindsbury to Higham. Between Strood and Higham, at about one mile and a half from the Strood a shaft of great depth was sunk fro m above, and e 'spot it was tha t bar g es p roceedin g in one direc tiondrew tthi°inson one side in order to allow those coming in "lay-by." Since the subterranean passage has been con verted into a line of railway this portion of the canal has been filled in, but the shaft still remains open, and supplies a tnel gleam . It of is at thisto p point ersons that the pass oc the be described took place. On Saturday un lig ht ing ea t h ub r ro o rue u h e to t n g e noon masses of heavy clouds were ob served collecting over the environs of Rochester and Strood, portending a heavy storm. Shortly, some large drops of rain fe ll, followed soon afterwards by a heavy s h owe r ; but towa rds the u pp er part of Strood the rain fell in torrents, and at the same time a heavy cloud was o ver the adjacent hills, so low as ap parently to reach the ground, and so dense was its ap pearance that ev er y object beyond was completely hid observed hang ing from view. This cloud, spout, fell upon th e s p ot where the shaft above-named is 6aid t ad was been a water torrent which carried with it chalk, some stubble from the fields, and sweeping with it came within reach. The force of the situated, and forme d a everything that wires of the electric telegraph, and led to the apprehen sion that some serious accident had occurred. The mid day stream carried with it heavy masses, which broke the as far as the Higham station, pas sengers, had proceeded _ when the tickets having been it co ected it proceeded on its course towards Strood. On nearing the lay-by, at train from London, having about four hundred a distance of about three-quarters of a mile from the Higham station, the engine-driver became alarmed at hearing a rush of water down the shaft, which he could only compare to the torrent of a mill-stream. Providentially he had time to stop the engine, for had the train continued its course the result it is fearful to contemplate, the flood having swept down not only a very considerable quantity of chalk, but a large portion of the brickwork of the tunnel also, thus entirely blocking up both lines. The alarm of the pas sengers may be imagined when they observed the rush of water—the electric telegraph wires torn down, together with the continued fading of the chalk, and still un abated flood which was passing them. No time was lost in reversing the engine, and having by this means re gained the Higham station, the train was shunted on to the up line, and so returned to Gravesend, where convey ances were placed at the disposal of the passengers to convey them to Rochester. When the train became over due at Strood, the station master, Mr. Small, finding the telegraph communication stopped, of course apprehended that some casualty had happened, and at once dispatched one of the servants with a signal-lamp, to ascertain, if possible, what had occurred, and he soon returned and expressed an opinion that the train vas in the tunnel. Plate-layers aro at all tines in the tunnel, and a party of them, on hearing the rush of water, attempted to cross the lay-by, and thus make their way to Higham; but the torrent was such that they found that to be impossible, and were driven to the al ternative of pushing for the Strood terminus, which they fortunately reached in safety. Two plate-layers at the Higham end of th e t unne l narrow ly e scaped with their lives. Whilst en gage d i n cutt i ng a dyk e to effect a di vergence of the curren t, one o f th em o bserved some loose chalk giving way from the cliff above them, and had but tthey communicate w e r e the o dangerboth a t w to his Tcompa nion when an immens e mass f e ll on th e v ery spot where but just e moment time t beforeo in spector of the line having arrived attempted to make his way through the tunnel, in order to ascertain the extent of the mischief, but in this he failed, the water still flow ing throughout the entire length of the tunnel eraforwarded like a small r i vu l e t. T e l egra phic COM naunication between Strood and London having thus been cut off, a messenger was di s p a t c hed to Gravesend, where rd ea w t the circumstances connected with the casualty w the and daepu large locomo tive bodyof labourers being mustered, accompanied by the super intendent r w of the ed line, t o together hd-quarrt with , superintendent, proceeded by special train to the lay-by, and, between five and six o'clock, commenced clearing away the obstruction. Tho engineer of the line also came down with a view to inspect the works, when it was at once decided that the running of trains between Strood and Higham should be discontinued, and the business of the Strood station has accordingly been, for the present, transferred to Higham. The labourers con tinued their work throughout the whole of the night on Saturday, and no time will bo lost in order that the line may be opened again as speedily as possible. The one o'clock up-train from Strood must have had a very narrow escape. and could not have reached Gravesend when the casualty occurred. In the neighbourhood of Higham the fields were flooded to a considerable extent, and a doubt has been expressed to an eye-witness whether any man could have maintained his standing during the fall of water had he been exposed to it. THE THREE POACHERS of WORKINGTON. Odious in themselves, the Game-laws are rendered doubly so by any harsh administration; and one would suppose that magistrates would be especially cautious in applying those laws to very young people. On these grounds we can hardly believe a story which has been sent to us by a correspondent; not because it comes to us without the tokens of an honest narrative, but be cause the fact stated seems to be nearly impossible. One evening, but while it was still daylight, during the late warm weather, Joseph Nichol, Richard Sander son, and Richard Hetherington, were seen in a mill-race near Carlisle, dabbling in the water, turning the s tones, and endeavouring to catch fish; boyishly trespassing. On the following day they were summoned before the Workington magistrates, and charged with breaking the Game-laws. They told no lie, but admitted the facts alleged, and pleaded "guilty." Our correspondent says, " they were too honest to tell a lie , as the y would have been to steal a farthing." Th ose formidable statutes, the Game-laws,.were not explained to the lads, with a ro remand home; but the culprits were primal:A, and a senteneod to one months' imprisonment in the county goal. Now what are the ages of these dreadful offenders? Hetheri ugton is thirteen years old, Sanderson twelve, and Nichol eleven! " These same magistrates," says our corr espondent, " are parents—talk: of the value of Sunday schools and ragged schools, and have abundance of opport unities of witnessing the progress of juvenile offenders when they have once entered the great semi nary of mice."

OSBORNE, SATURDAY. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Pricco Albert, Recompanied by their Royal Highnesses Princess He lena, Princess Louisa, and Prince Arthur, drove out yesterday afternoon in the direction of Newport. Lord Colville attended on horseback. Lieutenant-Colonel the lion. A. Gordon has suc ceeded Colonel Bouverie as Equerry in Waiting to Prince Albert. Lord Cowley arrived yesterday from London on a visit, and dined w ith her Majesty. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, a n d M r . Gibbs, also had the honour of re ceiving invitations. SUNDAY. Yesterday, he r majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert gave their annual fête in honour of the Prince's birth-day to the labourers a nd work people employed on the estate, and their wives , also to the seamen and m ar i nes of the Royal yacht, the Coast Guard, and the Trinity House men, and the detachment of the 88th Regiment, quartered at East Cowes. Their Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Mary visited her Majesty in the afternoon, and remained to witness the rural sports. A large tent was erected on the lawn near the house, ornamented with laurels and flags, in which were laid tables for the dinner. extending the whole length. On ono side the Royal marquee was pitched for the use of the Queen and the Royal Family, in the front of which three 114 pies were erected for the Royal Stan dard, and the standards of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales. The whole of the party invited being assembled a little before three o'clock, 70 seamen and marines from the ya c ht s were marched to the Royal kitchen, and, together with her Majesty's servants, preceded by tree bands of the Royal Marines and 88th Regiment, playing " The Roast Beef of Old England," carried the eatables to the tent in pro cession, her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Al bert, with the whole of the Royal children, standing in front or the house to see them pass by. The party having t a k en th e i r pl aces , her Majesty and his Royal Highness, with the Royal Family , att ended b y the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, proceeded to the tent, the band playing " God save the Queen," and passed down between the tables. Grace was then said by Mr. Toward, her Majesty's bailiff, and the dinner, which consisted of roast beef, mutton, lamb, and plume padding, with ale, commenced. After dinner her Majesty's health, and those of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family, having been drank, the sports commenced by a country dance, foot races for prizes, and different games and dances were carried on with great spirit, her Majesty and the Royal Family witnessing them from the marquee. Soon after seven o'clock her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert retired, the bands again playing " God save the Queen." The royal dinner party yesterday included the Earl of Ilchester, Lady Caroline Barrington, Baroness Speth, and Captain Crispin, R.N. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. On Saturday, the last night of the e b 'ation, the prologue to Lucrezia Borgia was given ,e subscrip tion, su cceeded the opera of Ernani. The first of these erf by was the great attraction of the evening, notti th o s r tee manpes that we had two nearly new singers in the second P eg haps never was a leading operatic artist so well fitt e d with a part as is Grisi with Lucrezia. When one is not actually hearing and seeing her terrible Norma, the im pression remains that Lucrezia is her best character, and that impression fades only while that stormy Druidess is pouring out her wrath and her woes. At other times, the Borgia is the part which identifies itself with the re collection of La Diva. The announcement of even so limited a portion of the opera as was given on Saturday caused the house to fill before th e curtain rose. Both Grisi and Mario were in splendid voice, and took their leave of the subscribers in strict adherence with the so cial rule that a last impression should be agood one. The insulting chorus was superbly exe cuted, and it was one of the great sights of art to behold the p roud and raging woman vainly struggling against the accumulated storm. The curtain fell, and the loudest plaudits called the two great artists to receive the valedictory volley of greet ings, which the flushed and smiling prima donna ac knowledged with her best graciousness. Ernani was got . up , we presume, chiefly to enable Signor Neg rini to mikes" his continental reputation on his second ap pearance. The tremendous power of Signor Negrini's lungs was certainly displayed on Saturday in a marvel lous way, and we could not help feeling that he was in that respect precisely the artist to deal with the vigorou s music of Verdi. The honours of the night, however, were seized by Angelina Bosio, who acquitted her self admirably. Her Elvira is a thoroughly artistic per formance, and well worthy of the boards on which it was given. She warbled the aria d'intrata (with the chorus of ladies who congratulate her on her mar riage), " dolce it veto ingenue," so .charm ingly — the sentiment being adhere d to without damage to the brilliancy of the air — that t he house brokeinto loud universal plaudits, which came down even more heartily at the end of the second verse. Ease and finish marked the whole feat. And after doing ample justice to the intermediate music, she gave her share of the great duet, " Fino al sospiro," towards the close, and the terrible finale, with true ar tistic fire and meaning. Angelina Bosio has succeeded in leaving an impression which the public will not be sorry to renew another season. The opera was in all other respects more than satisfactorily performed, and its thoroughly dramatic music, as usual, laid firm hold upon the attention of the house. The usual " musical honours" were awarded. The season is over. But to night and the two following nights there will be per formances at reduced prices, and then the theatre will, we are apprised, finally close. The Prophete, Pietro, and Les Huguenots are the three announcements. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. This well-conducted little theatre was re-opened for the season on Saturday night, under the continued ma nagement of Messrs. Phelps am? Greenwood. The house has undergone a thorough cleansing during the recess, and the hand of the decorato r is visible in the renova tions to which the boxes and ceiling have been subjected. The company chosen for the ensuing campaign appears to be of the same professional calibre as it has hitherto bean. A uniform resp ecta bility is observable; and t he frequenters of the house may consequently look for a series of representations characterised, as before, by con siderable histrionic merit, general rather than individual. This it has hitherto been the object of Mr. Phelps to secure, and the performances at Sadler's Wells have consequently been remarkable for that kind of excellence which, if it does not surprise always, at least claims re spect. The play which was selected for performance on Saturday night was The Man of the World. Mr. Phelps,whose embodiment of Sir patin a Macsycop t han is replete with ability, was received with loud and en thusiastic cheers. Be was supported by Mr. H. Marston, Mr. Barrett, Mr. Mellon, Miss Cooper, Mrs. H. Marston, and other artists, who have long been reputably known as members of the estahlisbmel LIVERPOOL ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. The engagement of Madame Celeste and that refined comedian Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket, has been in all points of view satisfactory. These distinguished artists have been received with the favour justly merited; and none can have been disappointed who went to the theatre prepared for the style of pieces in which Madame Celeste has been long facile princeps. It may not be that style which to us is most agreeable, but we are bound to say the work has been well done, and there is greatness for an artiste even in melodrama. Mind Your Own Business, a comedy which has won a somewhat unexpected local celebrity, through a curious trial in the Nisi Prius Court, was produced tor the first time on Friday. Engagements prevented our seeing more than the opening, but with Mr. Webster in his ori ginal character of Mr. Verdon, Madame Celeste as Fanny Morrison, Mr. Baker as Mr. Smythe the foot man (who in his marriage bartered riches for con nexions), and Mr. F. Younge as Mr. Oddiman, it must t disappointedtiming table be a great treat. We observe that the piece is to bere peated to-night.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this railway come pang was held on Friday at the board room of the Pad dington station; Mr. Talbot, M.P. for Glamorganshire, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The following report was read by the Secretary:— " The directors have the pleasure to report, that the revenue receipts, during the past half-year, indicate a steany progress in the traffic, as compared with the re ceipts for the corresponding year. Exclusive of the sum credited for the conveyance of mails , they amount, during the half-yea r ending the 30th of J une , 1852, to 3811 per mile—as compared with 2881. per mile during the corresponding peri o d of 1851. A sum of 10, 0604 was assumed in the statement of accounts for the half year ending the 31st of December, as a portion of a claim upon the Post-office authorities not then finally ascertained; the arbitrator to whom reference was made awarded about 11,600/. for the services performed up to that period —a lesser sum than was expected by your directors, but to which they immediately assented. They conceive that they have now just cause to complain that after having performed an onerous and expensive service in the =inner required by the Postmaster- Genersl for nearly two years, without receiving any remuneration for it, an intimatiou should have been con veyed to them of the intention of the Post-office to question the validity of the award. it is with great satisfaction that your directors are enabled to annc.unce to you that a line of rail way has been completed across the River Wye at Cht 0- stow, and is now open for traffic, thereby perfecting al continuous communication from London to Swansea. 13y the completion of thi3 communication the lease of the South Wales Railway to the Great Western Company comes into operation, and the rent of 30,501 d. a year, payable under that lease in respect to the line betwemn Grange Court and Swansea, commenced on the 19th July last. Upon the completion of the line to Carmar then, that rent will be increased to 310001. per annum. Every effort is being made by the committee having the management theG re o a f tW the Western C ompany, o y m ou p r an r y ai , lw to ay d , ev in ei c o o p r e j conjunction with hmi neral and other traffic of the country, and your directors have no doubt that tee great advantages of this railway will soon be made apparent. The branch to join the Western Valleys Railway at Newport has been opened for traffic. The improvements in the Forest of Dean Railway, autho r i se d by the ' South Wal es Railway New Works' Act, 1851,' have been commenced, and are now in active progress. Between Swansea and Carmarthen the works have been rapidly proceeded with, and your directors have every reason to believe that that portion of the railway may be opened for traffic by the middle of the ensuing month. Impressed with the conviction that the early opening of the line to Milford Haven is of great importance both the pro prietors and the public, and believing that that improved position in which the company will be placed by the completion of a continuous line from London to Carmarthen will justify such a proceeding, your direc tors have given instructions that the works between Carmarthen and Haverfordwest should be prosecuted with increased rapidity. Under the provisions of the bill approved by the proprietors on the 30th April last, which has since become law, the company is authorised to make arrangements for the interchange of traffic with the Taff Vale Railway Company, with the Monmouth.. shire Railway and Canal Company, and with the New port Dock Company. Power is also given to construct a railway from Haverfordwest to Milford Haven, and the portion of the line authorised by the South Wales Railway Act, 1845, extending from Fishguard to the point ofj divergence of the Haverfordwest branch, be comes abandoned. The directors have well considered the propriety of paying a dividend for the past half year,bat the no out of the funds usually applicable to that purpose; duev e the y ai thi s t tuthhneadute umpire the tp iisr et a ha w ep aprodi intentionn m te a made togetherf oo of the t t h h e e E. c wo o is u tth - - miciloOnaPmiaglpsYfbneyyennt by the Post-office of the amount Post master-General to question the legal accuracy of that award, involving a sum of upwards of 17,0001., has in duced them to advise the proprietors not to declare a dividend for the past half-year, but to r eserve th e i r re sources for a future occasion." r, July 29.

The works and permanent way between Swansea and Carmarthen are making rapid progress, and there can be little doubt of opening the railway between those places by the second week in September. The machinery of the coal drops at Swansea is being fixed, and one drop is nearly completed. A temporary apparatus was put up some time ago, and several thousand tons of coal have been shipped. Below Carmarthen the works are pro gressing, and steps are being taken for setting out the extension of the Haverfordweat branch to Milford Haven, for which an Act was obtained in the last session. The improvements in the Forest of Dean Railway have been commenced. A new station has been opened at Gat ' combo, between Newnham and Lydney. The junction with the Western Valleys Railway at Newport is nearly completed. All the works between Grange Court and Swansea are in good order. At Gloucester the new sta tion is nearly completed, and considerable progress has been made with the dock there by the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway Company. " I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " I. K. BRUNEL." From the statement of accounts it appeared that the net earnings for the half-yeas, exclusive of the sum in dispute with the Post-office, amounted to 22,3421. 13s. 7d. The CHAIRMAN regretted it had fallen to his lot to ask them to assent to a report which told them that they were not to have a dividend. He hoped this would be the last time such a thing would happen, but there were several reasons for doing so. The first was the extraordinary defalcation, he could call it nothing else, of the Post-office, who, after a reference had been given against them, refused to abide by the award. A PROPRIETOR—Did they agree to the reference ? The CHAIRMAN—The reference was entirely of their own making and arrangement, and he feared it was a continuous system, for he was told by the Great Western directors that they had been carrying the mails for the past three years for nothing, the Post office having for the third time disputed their award. Another reason was that their line, though naturally a cheap one,was worked at a very high rate, because having no rolling stock of their own, they were obliged to work it with the Great Western engines, for which they were charged 10 per cent., with the burden of keeping them in repair ; and as most of the stock they had was old, the repairs were very heavy. A new ar rangement was about to be entered into, which would be much more favourable for the South \Vales. Then the Chepstow bridge was nearly finished, which would add a considerable amount to their traffic, and from the completion of their line the rent from the (area Western would be increased. For all these reasons. the directors thought it would be better to postpone a dividend till another half year. He would now say a single word upon the competing lines that bad bees talked of. A railway from Shrewsbury to Aberystth feeder to their line with would not be a competing line with the S Wales at all. traffic from Manchester and the manufacturing O n the by c b o n r i t a r o a r i a y g , iat great would b a e a 1 ios_u_idrueis: t. tricts upon the South Wales line. hoped they would not be frightened of a competing line.—(Hear, hear.) e ''' ' the question of further to bring under their "tic who had only increasing the salaries of the auditors,t h was too small. h y:i l e he bugbear 251. a year each, which d ption of the report, had only He concluded by moving th e tbSuATTLIEWS, the deputy which was seconded by Air chairman.
