Slll,—Warwick generally, for years past, has been the ground on which the last grand moves respecting the Doncaster St. Leger are made. This year what has been done is all in favour of S aigstress and Trousseau, the former having been backed for above three thousand pounds at odds varying from 4 to 1 to 5 to 2; and the latter for a tolerable amount at various prices from 10 to Itol3to 2. Stockwell has given way slightly, having declined half a point; and Daniel O'Rourke is not over steady in the market at 9 to 2 and sto 1. Harbinger was the only other Leger nag inquired after, and he was in but little request at 9 and 10 to 1. These moves would lead one to suppose that Songstress and Trous seau will finish in very prominent positions. My opinion of the St. Leger candidates will ho published in the course of the next eight-and-forty hours, when I shall lay before my readers every scrap of information that I can obtain concerning this important stake. I now return to the Warwick running, which was not remarkable for anything on the first day but the victories of Pastry-cook and Lady Evelyn. The former's per formance in the spurt for the Castle Park Stakes was a most unexpected one; for after her wretched exhibition at Wolverhampton, where she was completely lost in the race for the Chillington Stakes, won by the Verbena colt, few gave her credit for being able co win on this occasion. I understand, however, that when she ran before she was far from being up to the mark, and at Warwick she was in good condition, which makes all the difference. She had the rece in hand from end to end, and won very easily. Prevention, the crack, was beaten a length by Eliza for second place. The race for the Leamington Stakes was all one way, Lady Evelyn biding her time, coming out when required, and winning cleverly by a length from Hirsute, who had half a length the best of Goldfinder. Administrator was a very indifferent fourth. Cleveland, who is an over-rated horse, or did not run on his merits, finished fifth, with Cariboo and Grief immediately behind him. On the strength of this performance Lady Evelyn has been ad vanced to the premiership for the Cesarewitch; a stake which she has no chance of winning, Sst 61b being too stiff a weight for her uncertain ladyship. In the race for the Borough Handicap yesterday, Charming Woman, having run herself out before reach ing the distance, was headed by Corybantes, Romeo and two or three others, Corybantes going in and winning cleverly by a length. The County Stakes was almost decided before start ing, for nothing had a chance of beating Gladiola and Paddy Bird, who made a fine race in, the former win ning only by a neck. Doubt, favoured by her moderate weight, 7st, finished a good third; but as to the rest, they were all out of the fray—regularly beaten off. Warwick won the Town Plato very easily by a length; Ephesus, with the steadying weight of Etlt 91b up, being second. This was a good performance of the last-named horse, and worth bearing in mind. The Warwick Cup produced a beautiful race between Teddington and Little Harry, the former winning, with difficulty, by a head. My judgment was tolerably successful throughout the meeting, having selected Lady Evelyn to win the Lea mington Stakes, Gladiolo and Paddy Bird to be first and second for the County Stakes, Warwick or Cotton Lady to win tho Town Plate, and the winners of several of the smaller stakes of little account. I reversed the posi tions in the Warwick Cup, placing Little Harry first and Teddington second. The first portion of my remarks on the Doncaster Meeting will appear to-morrrow.—l am, Sir, Bac., Sept. 9. THE SPIRIT OF THE £URF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WARWICK RACES.—WEDNESDAY.

We have every reason to believe that several important improve ments in the communication between the two coun tries will be the result of Captain Huish's visit; and it also affords Us much gratification to communicate the fact, that it is his an xious desire to give the benefit of his great influence and authority in effecting these ob jects. The warm and cordial manner in which Captain finish spoke of Ireland a t the recent meeting of the shareholders of the Chester and Holyhead Company, will, no doubt, be fresh in the recollection of our readers. In illustration of the im p ortance of this visit, we may sta te, that if some of t he alteration! suggested be adopted, a passenger leaving London in the mornin g w ill be able to got t o bed late that night at Belfast, Cork, or Galway.

TITY OF' HAY.—About nine o'clock on Saturday morning a fire broke out in the extensive barn and shippon belonging to Mr. Jahez Parker, of Tong Head Farm, in the township. of Tong, near Bolton. The building w as about fifteen yards by 8 yards, the upper po rtion being filled with hay, and the lower affording accommodation for about 3 . 0 head loft, worth of cattle. The re wer e about GOO cubic y ards of hay in the about 2001. ; and most of it was either destroyed or rendered worthless. The fire engines of Mr. Hardcastle, Messrs. Ashworth, and the Bolton Corporation, were instrumental in saving th e house; but the fire had got such bold upon the mass of hay that it was impossible to extinguish it with the supply o f water available at the time. 11Ir. Parker had no will insurance on the property, and his loss be the more se verely felt from the c ircumstance th at during the prevalence of disease among cattle he lost st ock of the value of 6001. Nothing is known of the origin of the fire.

Commander Archibald Black died on the 4th inst., at Hawthorn Park, Rothesay, in the 82d year of his age. This officer entered the navy Dec. 30, 1794, as midshipman on board the Canada, 74, Captain Charles Powell Hamilton, whom he shortly afterwards ac companied into the Prince, 98, both ships attached to the fleet in the channel. He next joined the Queen, 98, bearing the flag of Sir Hyde Parker on the Ja maica station, where, from 1797 to 1800, he served as acting master in the Drake, 16, Captain John Parkins, Reuomme, 44, Captain Robert Bolles, and Maidstone, 32, Captain Ross Donnelly. On his re turn to the West Indies in 1801, after having been employed for a few months on board the Cambridge, guard-ship at Plymouth, during which period he passed his examination, Mr. Black became master's mate of the Sanspareil, 80, bearing the flag of Lord Hugh Seymour. He subsequently obtained com mand, as acting-lieutenant, of the prison ship at Port Royal, and at the peace returned home in a similar capacity on board the Brunswick, 74, Captain Stevenson, but could not procure his commission, in consequence of recent regulations which neutra lised his servitude as acting master. In 1805 Mr. Black resumed his professional duties as master's mate, in the Hercule, 74, flag-ship, at Jamaica, of Vice-Admiral James Richard Dacres, from which he was promoted, February 26, 1806, to a sub-lieu tenancy ie the Reindeer, 18, Captain John Fife. Being at length made full lieutenant, May 27, 1807, in the Pelican, 19, Captains Win. Ward, Isaac Haw kins Morrison, and Edward Henry A'Court, he co operated in the ensuing bombardment of Copenhagen; and, in 1810, commanded the boats of that sloop in a night attack on an armed felucca, carry fifty men, in Campeachy.Bay, which vessel, together with all the other craft in h the harbour, he succeeded in bringing opposed b the heavy fire of seve ral out, out, althoug y forts and the small arms of the various crews. He had previously taken part in many expeditions of a similar nature, and on one occasion had been very severely wounded. He was placed on half-pay in 1812 ; and, unable to procure further employment, accepted the rank of commander February 10, 1843. Commander Black married, August 13, 1813, Miss Jane Currie, an d has issue a son and three daughters. Commander James Cooper Bennett died at Rotheray August 29. He entered the navy Jan. s, 1813, as second-class volunteer on board the Adamant, 50, Captain Matthew Buckle, bearing the flag at Leith of Rear-Admiral William Albany Otway. Re moving in March following to the Endymion, of 48 guns and 319 men, Captain Henry Hope, he assisted in the blockade of New London, the expedition up the Penobscot, and the capture Jan. 15, 1815, after a brilliant action of two hours and a half, in which the British lost 11 men killed and 14 wounded, and the enemy 35 killed and 70 wounded, of the American frigate President, of 56 guns and 465 men. Sub sequently to the surrender of Bonaparte we find him proceeding to the West Indies, where, until the close of 1819, he served on board the Iphigenia, 36 , Captain Andrew King, and Conway, 26, Captain Edward Barnard, and contribute& in the boats of the latter ship and of the Eden, to the destruction, in the early part of that year, of some Arab pirates at Bahhreen, in the Persian Gulf. While next serving in the Sybille, 44, flag-ship, in the West Indies, of Sir Charles Rowley, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, by commission dated Aug. 22,1821; hut, prior to his return to England, in 1823, he had the misfortune to lose an arm, in consequence of which accident he was eventually awarded, Jan. 24, 1824, the usual pension of 911. ss. In the course of the latter year Mr. Bennett, who bad been employed for short periods in the Aracbne, 18, and Ramillies, 74, again sailed for the West Indies in the Rattle snake, 28, Captain Hugh Patton, and there joined the Isis, 50, flag-ship of Sir Lawrence Wm. Halstead, by whom, after holding command of the Union, Rene gade, Speedwell, schooners, he was, in 1826, placed in charge of the Magnificent, hospital and store-ship, at Port Royal. He was officially promoted to his pre sent rank on Oct. 26, in the same year, and then, en feebled in health from the effects of long servitude in small vessels under a tropical sun, returned home. Since that period, unable to procure employment afloat, he has twice accepted the appointment of in specting commander in the Coast Guard. On the first occasion he filled the post from June 15, 1832, until 1835. His resumption of the office took place Feb. 25, 1843.

The Queen's yacht Victoria and Albert was laid up at her winter moorings to-day, and her ship's com pany transferred to the Royal George yacht hulk. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson, and the En counter, 14, Captain Gordon (screw frigates) came into harbour yesterday, it is reported, to be paid off all standing. Captain Freemantle, who had the Pique, is named as the immediate successor of Captain Robinson. The ship's company of the Niger screw sloop, Com mander Heath, have been this day paid wages to six months, and granted a fortnight's leave. The Sirnoom screw steam troop - frigate, Captain Kingcome, went out of harbour this afternoon, and took in her powder while under way at Spitbead, and sailed for Pembroke with the masts, &c., for jury rigging the Windsor Castle, 140, for navigation to this port. The Electra, 14, Commander Morris, has hauled off from the dockyard to her hulk, where she is com pleting her fit out for sea. The Fearless surveying steam-vessel, Captain Bullock, left port this morning for the Channel. PLYMOUTH*, WEDNESDAY. — The mail steam-packet Cleopatra, Captain Cumming, sailed last evening for the Cape of Good Hope and the Australian colonies. She left Deal at 10 20 on Sunday, and, being under steam all the way, excepting one hour, reached the Sound at 10 45 on Monday morning. The Cleopatra had 185 passengers, including a large proportion of German Jews, several Frenchmen, Scotch agricul turists, &c. She has a full cargo of fine British ma nufactured goods and 155,0001. in specie ; of this 80,0001. is freighted for Adelaide or Port Philip, at the option of the charterers. One of the owners, Mr. Lamont, assisted Mr. M. Wilcocks, the agent, in the dispatch of the ship, which received at Plymouth two cows, 100 sheep and pigs, 750 fowls, and a large quantity of fresh provisions and vegetables. Another of the owners, Mr. M'Keen, proceeds in the Cleopa tra, which will take the first suitable freight home to Great Britain. INIPROVED PUBLIC 011INIBUS.—Yesterday much interest was excited in Great Scotland-yard by the appear.. ance of a very light and tastefully constructed vehicle for public conveyance, which had been brought to the spot for the inspection of Commissioner Sir 11. Mayne and other gen tlemen previous to its proceeding in an experimental trip with the inventor, M. Franklinski and friends. The exa mination showed the great conveniences and comfort in its construction, there being a separate compartment for each passenger about 30 inches in width (14 inches wider than in the ordinary omnibus), thus affording also an effectual bar against the pickpocket or other annoyances, but at the same time g i v ing the power of communication between each com partment when desirable. Each is lined with crimson cloth, fitted with looking-glasses and effective ventilating apparatus, as also the means of communicating with the conductor by a bell. This portion is arranged for 12 passengers, and the ap proach is by an outside gallery on either side, with a sepa rate door to each compartment. The ascent to the roof is by a flight of steps of easy gradation, with a band-rail on u ra c re s ide, placed at the back of the carriage.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND. The report by the managers of this company, pre sented at the meeting of shareholders held at the sn t of the society, 10, Place de la Bourse, Paris, on Monday last, states that— " The revenue account, after payment of all ex • penses properly chargeable under that head, gives net disposable balance of 2,0311. 1 ls. 9d., admitting of the declaration of a dividend, for the six months end ing the 30th of June last, of a sum equal to 51 . per cent. per annum on th e capital of the society, and leaving a surplus of upwards of 2001. The managers think that a dividend, at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum, payable out of the first six months' earning] of a public undertaking cannot but be considered at 3 satisfactory; but when due weight is given to tli; disadvantages which have necessarily impeded the introduction of an enterprise of so novel a character, the expenses which have unavoidably attended it opening, and the hitherto incomplete state of all the traffic arrangements, the returns must be consi dered as highly encouraging. But even this result, however, does not give a correct view of the value of the undertaking, as the earnings of the line have been unduly taxed by the payments for the transmission of the society's messages between Dover and London. I lad such payments, during the past six months, been made upon the scale contained in the agreement lately entered into, the disposable balance would have been increased by 1,1331. 155.; and the dividend to the 30th ef June would have been, with precisely the earn , amount of traffic, at the rate of Si. per cent. per annum, in lieu of 51. The amount paid to the South Eastern Railway Company, was 2,369/. 124. 3d.; the amount that would have been paid under the provi sions of the proposed land agreement was 1,2351. 178 . 3 d. ; giving a balance of 1,1331. 15s. The ma nagers next advert to the proposed agreement between the society and the " Submarine Telegraph Company a between Great Britain and the Continent of Europe," lately establish e d in London under a royal charter o incorporation granted by Vic toria a subject which has he e r ng M ag aj e e d st Majesty Queen anxious consideration for m an guee a n n enable months past. This charter has been granted to the company to establish a telegraphic submarin e communication between s England and Belgium, and purpose to an arrange ment with the society for the effec tually carrying out the exclusiv e a n of more and privileges n granted Belgium, of e by the respective Governments of F and of fully developing the systeminternationalta p r n submarine telegraphs. To secure these results,i visional agreement has been entered n managers with the chartered company for° an equal by the division of the traffic receipts, and for a joint ment of the two undertakings; such agreementanage . to take effect from the opening of the public transmissio n of messages of the Belgium line, and to continue in force during the existence of the two concessions, or of either of them, or until a more complete amalgama tion of the companies can be effected. Independently of the general policy of identifying the interests of the two companies, the managers have had their atten tion particularly directed to the very favourable posi tion which the promoters of the Belgian line occupy, in regard to a renewal at the expiration of the term of the present concession, the Belgian Government having expressly stipulated to give the preference to the original concessionaires. In the traffic agree ment to be submitted to the shareholders, the managers have inserted a provision, under which the society will derive an equal benefit with the char tered company in any such renewal. With regard to the agreement for the transmission of messages between London and Dover, the terms which the managers have ultimately obtained are so favourable to the interests of the society, that there is little oc casion for any further statement on the subject, beyond a repetition that, had the provisions of the agreement been in force during the last six months, the society would, upon the same amount of traffic, have paid a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum more than they are ndve enabled to do. The managers look to the result of the proposed arrange ments with great confidence. With the traffic to be received on the opening of the Belgian line, added to the great increase of telegraphic intercourse between London and Paris, which may reasonably be expected to follow on the opening of the uninterrupted land line, and the consequent almost instantaneous com munication between the two capitals, the managers confidently anticipate that a dividend of from 8/. to 101. per cent. will be immediately realized on the capital of the two companies, irrespective of that gradual, but certain, increase which will arise as additional foreign lines are opened, and the in tercourse by telegraphic agency becomes more and more a matter of social necessity. The managers have stipulated that the society should be represented on the board of the chartered company, as well as on that of the land line. The managers have the satis faction to report that the cable between Dover and Calais is in every respect as perfect as the day on which it was laid doa n. It is not intended to issue the 25,000 shares in reserve, as the proposed arrange ment with the chartered company will preclude, at least for some time, the necessity of laying down a second cable between Dover and Calais ; and under the terms of the proposed traffic agreement, in the event of any additional capital being required, the chartered company is to provide it. Shareholders in the society have the option of exchanging their shares for those of a like amount in the chartered company. In con clusion, the managers congratulate the proprietors on the very favourable aspect of their affairs; and whilst they are engaged in one of the most interesting ad ventures of modern science, it is satisfactory to find that their enterprise, in a commercial point of view, is second to few. " The capital account shows a receipt of 100,0001., on so many shares of 11. each, and an expenditure as follows :—By amount paid to the concessionaires and entrepreneurs, under the terms of article 9 of the Acte de Societe, cost of experimental wire, cost of existing cable, and amount paid on account of the wires in connexion with the submarine cable at Dover, 70,2331. 7s. 3d. ; caution money in the hands of the French Government, 0,000/. ; amount paid for office furniture, 2161. 12s. 9d.—total, 72,4501. The balance of 27,5501. is composed of 2,5501. value of shares held in the hands of the company , and 25,000/. shares un allotted. " The revenue account shows that 3,546/. Bs. 5d.1 has been received for messages transmitted from November 30, 1851, to June 30, 1852. The expenses at the London, Dover, Calais, and Paris stations, in cluding printing, stationery, postage, and other inci dental charges, were 238/.125. 9d.; salaries and wages, 8051. 17s. ld. ; rent and taxes (London, Paris, and Dover), 1702. 6s. 103. ; directors' allowance (half a year under article 10 of the Act of Society), 3001. total, 1,514/. 16s. Bd., giving a net profit of 2031/. lls. 9d. " Since November 15, 1851, the company has trans mitted 9,045 messages from London to Calais, for which it has received 6,8891. 13s. 93. Two thousand seven hundred and ninety-four of these pounds have been paid to the South-Eastern Railway." The submarine telegraph is assuming proportions which fast outstrip the most venturesome predictions of its originators, and promises before long to em brace the globe. It is scarcely three years since the proposition was first made to connect London and Paris by an electric wire, which should cross the channel, and the concept ion was enc ountered with ge neral incredulity.

EVENING MEETING. SALT NUNES AT CAREICKFERGM BELFAST, TUESDAY.—Last evening Colonel Poet lock delivered a lecture in May-street Cturch to • large audience, on the subject of the lately discovered salt mines in the neighbourhood of Carrickfergus ; Sir R. Murchison in the chair. The Gallant Colonel set out by a lucid description of the several strata of soil forming the inner part of the earth, and of the nature of the substances contained in different dia• tricts, bringing in as parallel cases with thelpresent, the salt mines of Spain and Cheshire, and showing that the soil in both these places was of a nature simi lar to that of the mines near Cafirnrickefexrpgruesss.,,dHhiemtiaseeinf went into the conjectures which had b een t h rown ou t as to the depositions of salt, d dissatisfied with the reasons which had been given for .hese depositions. He then explained the artificial manner in which salt is produced, describc; i l v : e h „ e n se t e h e t r „n al of beds of soil met with in the mines Carrickfergus, and traced the strong similarity existing b and the mines of Cheshire. An immteuse soil of strata would have to be gone through before oral, to a great extent, would be available ; but everything was due to the exertions of the high-spirited noisternan (the Merquis of Downshire), who had so praiseworthily taken the matter in hand, and whose exertions could not fail to benefit the country.—(Cheers.) Soene of the produce of the mines hal been examined by ibat very talented chemist, Dr. Hodges, who found thein gl n ely i r n s t o t f h e t h d e i ff n e o re b n l p tu r l o l p v r c ie a t p o a r b . le A of ft r e e r w e a ti r t d , i r i i i n g g th la e rt heads of this part of the subject, he referred to the progress which the study of geology was making among all h classes,te pulpit elo was madequently alludingthe an m t e ot s o he f o tim p e when even . Posing the spread of that science, and to the present, when all parties are freely acknowledging the import ance of a pr oper study of geology. He concluded his lecture, in beautiful terms, by saying that by th© study of this science we were opening to our minds the great book of nature, and permitting ourselves to see the great power and wisdom of the Supreme Being. Sir R. MuncnisoN, in handsome terms, alluded to the exertions of Colonel Portlock in the study of the science of geology, and conveyed to the Gallant Colonel the thanks of the meeting for his very ahies and instructive lecture. He also announced that the concluding general meeting of the British Association would be held in that place on Wednesday evening, and the meeting then separated. IRISH BOG BUTTER. Mr. J. A. BRAZIER read,a paper on this subject yes terday in Section B. He said, the substance bearing this name is found accidentally in the various boggy formerly districts of Ireland, sometimes also in Scotland, and is usually preserved in small kegs, in which the matter had m os t pro b a bl y b een originally deposited. No thing pp pva ear a s , to be known as to what this substance or the time of its deposit.

It is nearly insoluble in cold water, somewhat soluble in hot, but very soluble in alcohol and ether, especially in boiling, from either of which fluids it is deposited in white granular cryst a l s ; the alcohol or ether separated from the crystalline de posit, which was usually done by expression, was of a deep yellow colour, and containing apparently a small quantity of the oleaginous matter above-men tioned in solution, and imbibing more powerfully the peculiar odour of the interior of the mass. A clear portion of the substance taken directly from the keg gave a fusing point of 45 deg. C. (113 deg. F.), after repeated crystallisation from alcohol, until the super natant fluid no longer possessed the slightest yellow tinge when cold ; and finally, once from ether, the fusing point of the 'substance was raised to be tween 52 and 53 C. (125. 6 deg. F.), (127. 5 deg. F.) This method of purification was repeated several times, the fusing point of the body remaining con stantly the same, the substance itself resembling, after fusion, ordinary stearic acid. Before sub jecting the substance to analysis, I thought it more advantageous to submit the body to a more rigorous method of purification, and adopted that of saporifica don. With potass this body forms a beautifully clear transparent soap, entirely soluble in water, with the exception of the small quantity of vEllow oil which is seen floating on the surface of the solution, and is easily separated, together with other accidental impu rities, by means of a separating funnel or filtration. The solution of the soap, on being decomposed by the addition of a small quantity of hydrochloric acid, Ow fatty acid separates. This has to be well washed with large quantities of water, and subjected several times to considerable pressure. In this state the fusing point was found to be 53 deg. C. (127.4 F.), and the same portion of acid having undergone the same rou tine of purification a second time, the fusing point was not altered. An analysis of the body thus puri fied furnished numbers corresponding to the formula, C. 32, 11. 230-4, and for which I propose the name of Butyric-limnodic acid. The acid was subsequently recrystailised from alcohol from which it was depo sited, as usual, in granular crystals; from the etherial solution, however, it is now deposited in cryst a l s o f a beautifully white satiny appearance, somewhat re sembling benzonic acid. In this state the acid was carefully dried, its fusing point was found to be the same as before, namely, 53 deg. C. (127.4 F.), and, upon analysis, yielded numbers corresponding to the before-mentioned formula. Having obtainledaamhilgedh to tnf be ea h ractnoounlAr could n in .
