ROYAL ARTILLEZY.—The horses of the right divi sion of Captain Markland's company left Woolwich this morning at half-past two o'clock for Euston-square, to be conveyed by railway to Chester, where the horses and harness will be given over to the m en of th e Royal Ar tillery at that station, and the men of Captain Markland's company ( will return to head-quarters. The Artillery at Chester had previously guns but; not trained horses ; this arrangement will now enable them to form an efficient demi-battery. Twenty-eight young men, re cruits, joined yesterday at head-quarters, having been sent over from Lieutenant Clark, on the recruiting ser vieo at Lisburn. in Ireland.

GOODWOOD RACES. The programme of the monster meeting about to take place at Goodwood occupies seven columns of the sheet Calendar, and if given in detail would take up more space than from the pressure of foreign and domestic intelli gence we can afford to devoto to it. A sketch of the en gagements, however, will be sufficient to prove that the sport will be as abundant and as interesting as ever. FIRST DAY.-TUESDAY. The grand priaesthi;d93 , will be the 300 sovs. Stakes, for four years old ; the Gratwicke and Drawing-room Stakes, for three years old ; and the Ham and Lavant Stakes, for two yrs old. The first, if there be any truth in public running, must rest between Cossack, winner of the Derby, and Van Tromp, winner of the St. Leger ; and their chances are so nicely balanced that the odds between them would be scarcely more than guineas to pounds ; indeed, very large sums have been laid at evens. Halo is likely to start, but as the odds are 10 to 1 bar two, and 50 to 1 against any other, the fielders have but a poor look out; their only . chance is in the course being so much longer than either' of the horses has yet run over. Calculating upon three runners only, the stake will net 4,0501. The Gratwicke Stakes, seeing that Lord Clifden has Surplice and Loadstone in it, and that out of forty-eight others engaged Wiasma is the only animal with the slightest pretension, is almost a certainty; the mare, however, will receive 111 b., and upon the strength of this the fielders will no doubt " play the game." As it is improbable that more than four or five will start, the stake, deducting the winner's, will amount to, at least 2,7001. The Ham Stakes has fifty five subscribers, and as Vanguard is the only winner, a tolerable field may be expected. The favourites are Honeycomb, allowed 31b., and Vanguard, carrying the full weight; Lord Eglinton will start either Solon or Belus, perhaps both, and the stake will amount to nearly 3,0001. The Drawing-room Stakes will lie between Glendower, Loadstone, and Cannon, the Slb. penalty for winning the Derby rendering it very nnlikely that Sur plice will show. The stake will be worth 4751. The Ls4'ant Stakes, value abQut,6ool., will have two formid abl'e conletitors in Uriel and Glauca; they both escape the penalties. In addition :to these interesting races there will be the Craven Stakes, the Innkeepers' Plate, and the Goodwood Club Stakes for gentlemen riders; swelling the grand total to be contended for to some thing like 11,0001 _ _ SECOND DAY. The great feature will be the Goodwood Stakes, for which a large field may be anticipated. There will also be the Stewards Cup, the Queen's Plate, the Orange Handicap, the Members' Plate, the Cowdray Stakes, and a Selling Sweepstakes of 10 sous. each. The prizes will amount to about 3,0001. net. THIRD DAY. The stakes to be run for on this day are inferior in importance to these specified in our outline of the Tues day's eng agements; nevertheless they are of great inte rest, and are so numerous that if the running does not commence before one we do not see how it can be finished before seven o'clock. There are no less than 12 events, comprising the Cup, the Racing Stakes, the Duke of Richmond's Plate, the Molecomb, and four other Two year-old Stakes; two Three-year-old Stakes, a Sweep stakes for two and threes, and the Anglesey Stakes for gentlemen riders. The chances of the cup horses will be ascertained by referring to the quotations at Tatter sall's; the field will, no doubt, include one or both of the favourites for the Three Hundred Soya. Stakes; John Day, it is said, will ride the Hero. The Racing Stakes contains a great number of penalties, amongst them hefty ,. 61b on Glendower for w i nn i ng t h e N ewmar k e t Stakes, and 91b on Surplice for the Derby; the field is wretched, and as Surplice is not expected to run Glen dower is generally looked upon as "sate" to win. Glauca and Uriel are in the Molecomb Stakes, the former with a penalty of Mb, and an additional 2lb should she win the Lavant; the field is very bad. Nearly all the horses en gaged in the other two-year-old stakes are " dark." At a moderate calculation the value of the stakes contended for this day will be 5,0001. FOURTH DAY. Including the March Stakes, which, should it fail to produce two classes, will be run in heats, there aro ten races on paper, one of which, the Sweepstakes of 200 sovs. each, between the Flying Dutchman, f. by Laner cost out of Canada, and Cucullus, is not likely to be run. The principal events will be the Nassau Stakes for fillies, evidently left to Canezou, with a 61b. penalty, and Tisi phone ; and the Richmond Stakes for 3 yr-olds, for which, as Springy Jack will not show, the only horses with any chance are Glendower (61b. extra), Loadstone, and the Sheriff. Next in importance are the Chesterfield Cup (handicap), for which 29 horses are named ; a Plate of 2001., a Plate of 150/., and the March and Ben tinck Stakes for gentlemen jocks ; the whole amounting to near 3,000/., and swelling the grand total for the four days to nearly 22,0001., of which, including the Queen's Plate, 1,5551., is public money. According to the pre sent arrangement the races will begin each day at one o'clock. The directors of the Brighton - and South Coast Railway have made ample arrangements for the convey ance of visitors, horses, &c., to and from Chichester. POSTAGE STAMPS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-Our attention has been called to an article in your paper, stating that Mr. Harris, of the Equestriau Tavern, having moistened 200 postage stamps in the usual way with his tongue ; in a short time it swelled to an alarming size, when he sent for a surgeon, who " at once pronounced his case one of poisoning, and stated that some poisonous ingredient was used iu the gluti nous matter applied to postage stamps. The public are not informed who this surgeon was, but truth obliges us to give his statement the most un qualified contradiction. Not only is there nothing whatever in the gum used for the postage stamps, which is in the least degree injurious to health ; but the principal in that depart ment, who is a son of one of our firm, moistens with his tongue, in the usual way, from 400 to 800 of these identical stamps every (lawful) day with the most per fect impunity, and probably not a day passes but some one or more of the public attach 200 or more of these stamps to letters in the usual way, so that poisoning must be an every day occurrence if' the story were true. But beyond this all the vendors have just the same article always on sale, and we have the material with which the Post-office labels are gummed, ready to give any one who wishes it for analysis ; the truth, there fore, is in the power of any one to ascertain ; and, knowing this, we pronounce the statement either an ig norant or a wilful fabrication. We do not say that a person may not have used postage stamps and after wards had a poisoned tongue any more than he may have used them and afterwards have broken his leg, but we fearlessly say that the gum in question wouldpo as innocent of causing the former calamity as the latter. We are, Sir, respectfully, Your obedient servants, _ PERKINS, BACON, and PETCH• No. 69, Fleet-street, July 10, 1848.

THE RAUB ROUND IRELAND.--The yacht Sultana, which was matched to run a race with the iron barque Panic round the coast of Ireland, arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning, at half-past four o'clock, having com pleted the trip in five days and three hours, the speed Odom at 'the rate of six miles and three-quarters per hour. The Panic has not yet arrived. [PRICE SD. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 20.—The accounts from some of the southern counties, received to-day, afford lamentable con firmation of the spread of the insurrectionary system, which is hourly assuming a more daring and desperate character. The local Confederate journals are crowded with reports of club and other meetings, at which the peasantry are called upon to arm and prepare fcr a de cisive conflict. The most violent sedition —nay, absolute treason—is spouted at these "monster meetings," and the prosecutions for sedition are made subjects for mer riment. Meantime, whilst Mr. Smith O'Brien has for the pre sent returned to head-quarters at Dublin, his lieutenants are actively engaged in organizing throughout the pro vinces. Mr. Doheny continues in Tipperary, Mr. Meagher in Waterford, Mr. Strich in Roscommon—and other emissaries are at work in various districts, preparing for what they call the decisive struggle. There is no truth whatever in the curiously circum stantial reports of the arrest for sedition and subsequent rescue of the Rev. Mr. Byrne. The facts which gave rise to the story will be found delsiled in the letter ex tracted from the Tipperary Free P-css, in our impression of yesterday. The Waterford Chronicle supplies some additional par. ticulars:— " WATERFORD, MONDAY, JULY 17.—0 n my way to Waterford this morning, through Carrick, about eight o'clock, shortly after the public cars passed through, the police had arrested (in their beds) two or three of the heads of the clubs in that town, and brought them to the Bridewell; and when it became known through the town, men, women, and boys flew in all directions to acquaint the rest of the members of the different clubs in town, who, upon hearing the news, mustered in double quick time from all quarters of the town, first proceed ing to their respective club-rooms to deliberate. When they had deliberated, they marched out with full deter mination to rescue the prisoners or die in the attempt; in the meantime, while m deliberation, the news spread like electricity to the surrounding country, and the bells of the different chapels, Ballyneal, Newtown, Rath gormak, Dysart, Clones, and Carrickbeg, were set in motion, and like mountain torrents the men of those localities came speedily into town, and in a few minutes the streets were densely crowded ; the cry was, To your pikes, boys ;' and in a short time the pikes came forth in great numbers. I did not think there could be so many stout athletic fellows able to bear arms as ap peared in the streets in about an hour from the com mencement, who would have no doubt rescued the pri soners at any risk, had not some of the members of the clubs, whose judgment was more matured, and to whom they looked up with some respect, remonstrated with them, and told them the time was not come to strike the blow. The Rev. Father Byrne having made his appear ance, calmed their rising passions, and caused them to withdraw, on the assurance that the prisoners would be instantly liberated on entering bail for them, and that the crime was small. I forgot to say that those who had not pikes were armed with scythes on the end of sticks, long reaping hooks prepared, and billhooks ; but as I was obliged to proceed on my journey I saw no more of the transaction, but it appeared to me to bear a direful portent." On the evening of the same day, according to the Tipperary Free Press— " About half-past nine o'clock a signal fire blazed on the east side of Slienamon, and in an incredibly short time was followed, by 10 additional fires on that magnificent mountain; by 15 on the cou n ty o f W aterford range of' mountains—one in the direction of Carrick—ono near Fethard—two in the direction of Lisronagh and Cleri han, and between the latter and the Caher mountains— two in the direction of Knocklofty, &c. We have not heard the occasion which gave rise to those remarkable signs of the times; but the spirit was caught up by the people of this town, who had bonfires lighted in the main street, Iriskown, &c.; vast crowds assembled in the streets, and were addressed by two members of the clubs, both Protestants, who were very loudly cheered." THE COMING PROSECUTIONS. An application was made before Mr. Justice Perrin, at Omagh assizes, to admit to bail Mr. John Martin, proprietor of the Felon newspaper, and now a prisoner in Newgate, awaiting his trial for felony at the next commission. Judge Perrin refused the application. THE POTATOES. There are reports of failure in the potato crop from va rious parts of the country, but on comparing them with the aggregate accounts you would certainly come to the conclusion that so far there is really no cause for alarm. Where good sound seed has been sown in good soil, and proper care observed with it, no cause of complaint ap pears. The marks on the stalks may indicate failure of those plants, while it is just as probable no loss will occur. There are cases mentioned where black marks, similar to those which were on the stalks in the year 1846, were observable eight or ten days ago; andat pre , r sent the plants are fiourish,jpg. Thelollowtig is from CoFk:-= • "From various inquiries instituted in many localities, we (Cork Examiner) have the most satisfactory confir mation of the opinion which we expressed in our last— namely, that wherever the disease---if it could be called such—appeared, it was in a very mitigated form, and such as to create little or no uneasiness in the mind of the grower. It has only appeared in some localities; but in no one instance have we heard of its assuming a dan gerous or alarming character. "A highly intelligent gentleman, who has just tra velled from East Skull, assures us that he has been de lighted, during a journey of two days, with the appear ance and abundance of the crop, which he asserts is perfectly sound, from Dunmanus Bay to the city of Cork." (From the Dublin Evening Herald of Thursday.) Without one word of unnecessary commentary or pre face, we proceed to lay before the Government, as well as before our readers, the following alarming facts. We are not at liberty to state through what channel the in formation has reached us, but we can assure the Govern ment that its accuracy may be relied on, and we trust that, if hitherto unapprised of the circumstances we are about to mention, they will lose no time in testing the truth of the intelligence, and acting as the exigency may require. The information is to the following effect:— Last wnek eighty stand of arms were purchased by the Dr. Doyle Club, of which Mr. Duffy of the Nation is the President; 20,000 stand of disused military flint muskets have been purchased in London for the use of the insurgents, and are coming over in batches. Yesterday evening, a large van with four horses was publicly (as it happened, actually under the eyes of a police inspector) laden with muskets at the door of a gunsmith, who keeps a shooting gallery upon Welling ton Quay. Yesterday morning, Ryland, the noted pike-maker, left this city for Carlow, with a large consignment of pikes. The rebels have prepared a map of the city of Dublin, subdivided into districts, in each of which the points at which the clubs are respectively to muster, and where barricades are to be thrown up, are indicated. It is now arranged that if, upon the formation of the jury to try Duffy or his fellows, it shall appear pro bable that a conviction will be had, the clubs are to rise immediately and prevent the trial by an anticipatory, and, as they hope, a successful outbreak. Ono word we must add. The 20,000 stand of arms above mentioned will alone cost, by the time they are delivered in Dub lin, fully 10,000 Z NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY. - The Rifleman steam schooner, Lieutenant-Commander Crofton, went out of harbour yesterday morning at eleven o'clock for a trial cruise round the Isle of Wight. Lieutenant Bailey, Commander of the sister vessel, sharpshooter ; Mr. Flinn, Master of the Illustrious, and Mr. Smith, Inspec tor of screw propellers, went out in her. A fresh gale was blowing during the whole of the trip, and the tide was against her at starting. She steamed through the gale until she got through the needles, crossing " the bridge " at the rate of four knots ; when through she set all fore and aft sails and stayed the vessel three times in the sea way, when she answered in every respect, steering, according to the testimony of her pilot " beautifully." She requires but little fitting, and will follow Sir C. Napier's squadron in a day or two.

WooLw. ion, JULY 21.—The Venus, 42-gun ship, re tl y lyi ng in ordinary at Chatham, was brou g ht o yoolwich on Thursday last, and is t o b e r ce u n nd • to I moored at 3 out a cable's length above Charlton pier to receive the boys of the Marine Society. The N•F mph receiving ship, on board of which the crew of t h e Sheraikies Egyptian frigat e were accommo dated off 'Woolwich dockyard, was yesterd ay towed to Blackwa 11, partly for the purpose o f being nearer to tbeir ow n vessel, on which guards are daily mounted, and par thy to prevent the Arab crow on board from being I)] !ought into trouble by the convicts employed in the doe! tyard. On Wednesday a convict, named Jacob Skerry, acid a pair of new shoes which had been issued to him t i ft w days previously to one of the Arabs, and Inspect : Field of the dockyard poli ce h av i ng i nstituted inquir les , t h e A ra b was b roug h t to the convict-ship, and in the. t sec.? and gang brought forward reco gn i se d t h e con- r , vict from whom he purchased the shoes for 2s. 6d. The poor Arab will no doubt be punished by his officers, but the convicts under their recent treatment care nothing for any punishment they now receive—the fear of cor poral punishment being now removed. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Am.- lius Beauclerk, when she left Portsmouth received orders to proceed to Cork, and it is probable the Squadron of Exercise ' under the command of Rear-Admiral Si r Charles Napier, will rendezvous at that excellent an chorage. The squadron, with the numerous marines on board, may prove of great service in the present unsettled state of the sister island. CHATHAM, JULY 21.—The Southampton, 50 guns, which was put out of dock the beginning of this month, is now ordered to be fitted for the reception of a flag officer, and to be completed by the end of the month, when she will be commissioned on the Ist of August next. A dispatch boat, to be named the Elfin, is to be built in this yard, on plans submitted by Mr. 0. W. Lang, assistant-master shipwright of this yard ; she is to be 80 tons burden, and to be fitted with engines of 40- horse power. The Wolverine, 16 guns, and the Spy, three-gun brig antine, in dock, fitting for commission, will be ready at the end of the month. A dreadful accident occurred yesterday afternoon in the dockyard, to John West, a labourer, who was at the crane on Reed-house-wharf, landing timber from a ves sel alongside, when the chain sling broke, and the timber fell across the man's left knee, crushing itlo pieces, the part only held together by pieces of flesh; the force of the blow scattered the bits of bone from the part about the yard. The poor man was placed on a plank and carried to the surgery, where amputation above the knee was immediately performed; thence he was taken to, Melville Hospital, where he lies in a precarious state. West resides at Chatham, and has a wife and three children. Troops for India—The following detachments from the Provisional Battalion are under orders to hold them selves in readiness to embark on the 31st inst., on board the ship Aboukir, 900 tons, Commander Charles Scott, • for Bengal, viz., 26 men of the 18th Royal Irish, 4 men of the 53d, 10 men of the 61st, 10 men of the 80th, and 145 men of the 98th; with the following officers—Lieu tenant Abbott and Ensign Gibbons of the 18th; Ensign Walton,', 53d; Ensign Thomas Gabbett, 61st; Captain L. L. Montgomery, Ensign Leckie, and Ensign Nuns, 80th, with Ensign Brown of the 98th Regiment. These troops were medically inspected this day. THE COAST OF AFRICA. SIERRA LEONE, MAY 21.—News has arrived here of an outbreak up the river Sherbro • the natives up there have been robbing and stripping the brother of the Colonial Secretary here—a very serious business, and the Governor represented to the Commodore of the British squadron that a man-of-war should be sent up immediately, which was about being complied with, when the Governor re solved on going himself with troops. Her Majesty's 10-gun brig Alert, Captain Hugh Dunlop, is going up the Sherbro to demand satisfaction for this daring out rage. The Governor of Sierra Leone and troops go in the brig. On Wednesday, the 17th inst., an English steamer, a trader, came into this port in charge of a lieutenant of the Alert, abandoned by the crew in consequence 2f. the Alert putting a shot in her stern. It appears this steamer, although a regular legal trader, is con cerned in supplying the Spaniards with provisions for the slavers ; the Alert was in chase of a steam slaver, which had been chased by the boats of her Majesty's brig Heroine (whom she beat off after firing at them), but lost sight of her, and coming across this steamer afterwards thought her the same. The Alert hailed the vessel four or five times, but got no answer. She then tried to get across her bows, so the brig fired twice ahead of her, which not bringing her to, she put a shot into her stern. Those on board then cried out she was sinking, although the shot hole was soon plugged up, an d th e crew a ll a b andoned her; and signed papers all but one. The case will be put into court, as the Alert claims salvage for saving her, which the steamer's master disputes, as the brig was the cause of her abandonment by firing at her, but justification is pleaded by the brig's captain on account of his hay ing frequently hailed the steamer without getting any recognition or reply. The captain of the steamer said he was sick, and the mate " no how," and they mistook the brig for a pirate. The steamer is an old hull, but insured at 3,5001., owned by a Dutch house here ; one of the firm is generally in her. From all I can gather from both sides of the question, it appears perfectly natural that Captain Dunlop should fire into the vessel, conceiv ing, ai every one would do under such circumstances, that as she did not make any reply, signal, or number when repeatedly hailed, nor even when her bows were fired across, that she must be an enemy, and she cer tainly bore every outward appearance of being a steam slaver. This part of the coast is becoming very unhealthy again, and some sickness and death has already taken place in the division of the slave.hunting squadron em ployed on it. Unhealthy weather and an unhealthy season appears setting in. Her Majesty's brig Rapid, Captain Dickson, sails from this at daylight to-morrow morning, with a supply of fresh provisions for the divi sion of the squadron employed on the southern part of the coast.
