The object of the undertaking is to combine under one manage ment the business of keepers of lodging and boarding houses and public and private hotels at the recently established watering-place of West Worthing. A provisional agreement has been en tered into for the lease of two newly erected man sions, which, being built in flats, are well adapted for the purpose, and the Heene Hotel for a term of 99 years, and the purchase of the trade and furni ture and stock of the hotel at a cost, including all preliminary expenses of £40,000. In addition, the sum of £lO,OOO will be required for furniture for the mansions and additional stock and working capital. 'This amount may be raised under the bor rowing powers of the company, it will therefore only be necessary for present arrangements to call up 40 per cent. of the share capital. It is added that the company has been constituted with the larger capital solely with the view of extending their operations, when the investment has proved to be as remunerative as it is now anticipated it will be. No goodwill or promotion money will be paid for the formation of the company. At the meeting of the Crown Preserved Coal Company in Liverpool, on the 17th inst., a dividend of 8 per cent. per annum was declared. Two O'CLOCK At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. 20c. Firmer. • The English Stock Market has manifested symp toms of weakness, and a decline of I per cent. in the funds has been the result of sales to secure profits.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. Three men, named Thomas Johnson, Richard Johnson, and Pearce, were placed before Mr. Flowers, charged with stealing a watch. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was leaving the steamboat pier at London Bridge, when the three men surrounded him and robbed — him of his watch. He was unable to secure either of the men, and as they ran away he heard some one call out, "We've got three of them." The watch produed was his property. A police constable said he was on the pier at the time of the robbery. He had previously observed the three pri soners there. He saw Thomas Johnson take the watch and hand it to Richard. He (constable) went up and ap prehended Richard Johnson immediately, and on putting his hand into his trousers pocket he found the watch in it. He also found another watch on Thomas Johnson. In answer to the charge, Thomas Johnson said one of the watches was his own, and with respet to the other the constable did not take it from his left but his right hand side pocket. Richard Johnson said the policeman was mistaken as he had not been time enough on the pier to do as ho was accused. Pearce said nothing. All the prisoners were fully committed for trial. William Henry Webb was again placed at the bar charged with assaulting Mrs. Morgan, the landlady of a publichouse in Chancery-lane. Mr. Cooke, who appeared for the prosecutrix, said his client was still too ill to attend. Mr. Lewis, for Webb, said the defendant had now been under remand for three weeks, and it was a great injustice to keep this charge banging over his head. Mrs. Morgan, he was informed, had, since the last remand, been seen down stairs, and to him it appeared that she did not intend to appear. When the time came for her to attend the court she went to bed. He thought Webb was very harshly treated in being remanded from week to week. Mr. Flowers said the:prosecutrix had sustained very severe injury. He thought, however, that there should be a limit as to the number of remands. Mr. Lewis said ho still felt that the prosecutrix would not attend. Mr. Flowers said he would remand the defendant for another week, but some final decision must be carried out on that occasion. William. Jordan and John Barnes were charged with driving a horse unfit for work. The first named man said his horse was a kicker, and had done the injuries " hisself." Barnes was engaged at work on the Thames Embankment, and he was seen by one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals painting over some large wounds about the horse he was driving with. some black coloured stuff to hide from observation. Mr. Cherry, one of the veterinary surgeons to the police force, said the horses were in a very bad state, and that the injuries were of old standing. The horses were not equal to the work they were put to do. I In both cases the drivers were remanded, and summonses were ordered to issue for the attendance of the owners of the animals. MARK-LANE. Only limited supplies of English wheat were on sale in the country markets held on Saturday. The demand, however, was inactive, and in some instances prices were rather lower. Barley, oats, beans,• peas, and flour were _ very firm. The continental markets have continued firm for wheat on higher terms. All kinds of spring corn have sold at steady currencies. At New York breadstuffs have ruled heavy and lower. Tho imports of foreign produce into London last week were—wheat, 8,854; barley, 1,550 ; oats, 49,446 ; beans, 2,576; peas, 407; linseed, 13,707; rapeseed, 15,158; maize, 10 ; sundry, seeds, 107 quarters ; flour, 846 sacks and 7,977 barrels. New peas; in good condition, were hold at 38s. per quar ter. Old foreign were rather dearer. There was a full average business doing in both Eng lish and foreign flour, and the quotations tended upwards. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market this morning were only moderate. Amongst them were several parcels of new from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, in very middling condition. Fine dry wheats of last year's growth were, therefore, in fair request, at in some instances a slight advance in the quotations compared with Monday last; but all new qualities moved off slowly, at irregular prices. On the whole, we may consider the currencies in favour of buyers. Good sound foreign wheats were the turn dearer, although the sale for them was not to say active. Inferior parcels were dull, at late rates. New English barley realised 325. to 355. per quarter, but its quality was secondary. Old parcels sold freely, and prices had an upward tendency. Floating cargoes of grain were held for higher rates. Malt was in full average supply and fair request, at full quotations. The supply was invariably good. Although the imports of foreign oats have been exten sive, the oat trade was firm, and sound corn produced 6d. per quarter more money. Beans were held for higher rates, with a modsrate in- CURRENCY PER IMP.

The supply of foreign stock into to-day's market was only moderate compared with Monday last, In tho quality of both beasts and sheep there was a decided im• provement. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own gra z i ng districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, were again limited, and, with very few exceptions, in middling condi tion. Prime Scots, crosses, Devon s, Herefords, and short horns moved off steadily at full quotations, the top figure being ss. 4cl. per 81bs.; otherwise the beef trade was heavy, at barely late rates.

The decision of the stewards in the Claxton case has been the all-exciting topic of the last week. Admiral Rous bas endeavoured to show that it was a just decision by a carefully concocted letter addressed to the editor of the Times. The following is the case in which he justifies the conduct of the stewards : " Newcastle was entered January, 1859, in a sweep stakes at York for horses which had never won £lOO, but the preceding year he had won a large stake at Doncaster, and was registered in the Racing Calendar. At starting the public did not notice the illegality of the entry, and the owners of the horses engaged made no objection until enlightened by defeat. If the rule had been altered to meet the suggestion of the Globe viz., never to disunite the interests of the bets and the stakes" the knowing gentlemen would have won thousands without the risk of losing, by backing the second horse, Bankrupt, the third horse, Uralian, being out of all racing form. If Bankrupt had won not a word would have been said ; but as Newcastle came in first, before he could return to weigh the murder was out. By Globe legislation these persons would have played that pretty game—' Heads I win, tails you lose'— it is my business to think for the pro- tection of the public." If the Jockey Club laws are to be carried out, and the Admiral is one of the principal framers of them, it would be better to have them altered at once, so that backers would . not be misled and done out of their money. Nothing can be clearer than the following rule, which I quote from the rules of betting, to show that the backers of Suspicion ware entitled to their money : " Rule 2.—The interests of the bets are inseparable with the interests of the stakes, except when the winning horse is disqualified owing to a default in making stakes." As Claxton was publicly scratched in the Racing Calendar, and ought not to have been allowed to start, there cannot be the slightest pretence for withdrawing the bets from the backers of Suspicion after the owner of the latter has got the stakes. Like the late Daniel O'Connell, who boasted that he could ride a coach and six through any Act of Parliament, the gallant Admiral seems to wish to follow in his wake. It is to be hoped that the committee of Tattersall's will see the necessity of reopening the case, and do justice to the backers of Suspicion. The York meeting commences to-morrow. There are thirty racesiset for decision. The Convivial Stakes will be won by Auguste or Strathconan, the former for choice. In the Yorkshire Oaks I shall look for the success of White Duck, as Siberia is likely to be an absentee. The Ninth North of England Biennial, in the absence of the Duke and Liddington, will be carried off by The Lion; the Burgundy Stakes Ely will secure, and the Black Duck Stakes will fall to the lot of La Muta. Olmar will win the Old Three-year old Stakes, as both Breadalbane and Broomielaw are likely to be absentees. Tho field for the Ebor Handicap will comprise about ten runners, to bo selected from the following : Age st lb * The Tartar 4 8 12 J. Goater. Claremont Lady Hylda 4 8 2 T. French. Bradamante Hollyfox 4 7 12 H. Corey. Nemo . 4 7 7 Carroll. Grapeshot * Revival - *Sweet Jessie Hornblower 3 6 7 J. Grimshaw. The Guide Verdant Little John 3 6 3 Dunbar. *Doubtful starters. The Tartar heads the list, and, seeing the very moderate lot in the field, he ought to show conspicuously in the race. Claremont, if ho would only run up to his true form, has a great chance of " landing" his backers this time. Holly fox does not go so well in the market as he did two or three days ago. If wanted he can scarcely loose. Nemo and Hornblower are in one interest. Grimshaw will have the mount on the latter. From the very moderate lot that will compose +he field, I shall expect to see the number of Hornblower hoisted as the winner; next to whom will be Claremont and The Guide. A FRESH MAN. AQUATICS. ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. BYDE, Aug. 18. rr This was a prize value £lOO, given by Mr. Charles Thel iuson, for all yachts belonging, to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. Course, round the island; to start to the westward. Under way at 9 a.m. Yawls to class as cutters, with a fourth of their tonnage deducted. Timo race; half Ackers' scale. The following yachts entered : Name. Class. Tons. Owner. Volante ......... Cutter Meteor ......... Sch ooner l9O Mr. T. Brassey. Marina ......... Cutter Witchci-aft ..... Schooner 224 Mr. T. Broadwood. Christabel...... Cut ter Pea Osp rl ..rey ......... Cutt er .......... Yawl ~,,,, 163 Mr. J. S. A. Dunbar. The prize is a baronial tankard in silver, "as in ye olden time," illustrative of the German ballad " The Wild Hunts man." In the front of the cup is a stag, the badminton or champagne to be poured through the " antlered monarch's" lips. On the handle is a crouching hound, and on either side a hound lies ready to spring, watching the stag. Tho cover is surmounted by a finely executed prancing steed, bearing " Hienrich, the Wild Huntsman." The work was executed by Messrs. London and Ryder, of New Bond street, London, who also designed and manufactured the elegant Broadwood group in silver, representing Venus and Adonis at the chase. The Prince of Wales expressed him self much pleased with the prizes when he viewed them at Marlborough -hous e on Wednesday week. The wind, W.N.W., blew fresh and strong, the sky being clear, unlike the previous morning, when the wind came from W.S.W. As the yachts were starting westward, it would be, if the wind prevailed true in direction, a beat to the Needles, a run to Bonchurch, a long reaeh to the Nab, and the same for Ryde. At starting, however, they had a strong weather westgoing tide, which set them well up to windward, and accelerated their progress westward. At 9 a.m. the starting gua was fired, four vessels only being ready for the fray. The Witchcraft, having a good weather berth when the gun fired, the Pearl north or lee ward of the lot, and the Osprey astern. The Pearl was the first to go about in the middle of Stokes' Bay, weathering the Marina, sailing under reefed lower canvas only, while the Witchcraft, with reefs down, carried a maintopsail, the big yawl doing the same. However, as such a strong wind was blowing, Mr. B roadwood's schooner would have been much better canvassed if a topsail had been set without a yard, as the sail was continually shaking. The Witch craft went about soon after the Pearl, and both vessels on the starboard tack stood over towards King's-quay, and when they again stood to the north on the port tack the Witchcraft was still the windward vessel, leading the Pearl by about a quarter of a rails. The Witchcraft reached across the mouth of Southaupton-water to Hill-head, the Pearl following in her wake, both sailing out of much of the weather tide, and wore headed by the wind that drew down the river. The Witchcraft, sailed a good full, was reaching astonishingly fast compared to all her previous performances, weathering the Pearl on every tack, and at 10.56 the yawl, trying another course, went about short a little southward of the Peel buoy, under the lee of the Witchcraft as that vessel was standing out from Old Castle Point, and she was still the leading vessel when they sailed out of sight from Ryde-pier at 10 a.m. on their course W. IN. for the Needles, wind W.N.W. The Marina kept on the weather of the Osprey in working towards Cowes ; the latter vessel, however, forereached her upon every tack, but not edging up to windward like the Marina, she still kept astern. Neither stood so long to the north shore as the Witch craft and Pearl in working dowt, and it could be seen by the distances that separated them upon their going out of sight, that they, by making shorter boards, had adopted the wisest course. In the beat for the Needles the yachts changed positions, the Osprey overhauling the Marina and the Pearl, and they passed outside of the Needles about noon, the Witchcraft still leading, Osprey tw o , M ar i na th ree , and Pearl last, after getting ()libido the Needles the vessels coming before the wind at squareails, pitching heavily over the rolling sea. Off Ventor, the Osprey carried away her gaff, and was obliged to set her trysail ; the Witchcraft here also carried away her jib tack, and took in her topmast stay sail. Reaching across Sandown-bay the Witchcraft was still leading, Pearl 2, Marina 3, Osprey a long way astern, off Dunnose, the accident putting hsr out of the race. At 220 the Witchcraft was in sight from Hyde, the Pearl appearing next, half a mile astern. The former vessel reached through Spithead, but as she stood in for the mark boat at 2 55, on the starboard tack, the east-going- tide set her down, and she made considerable leeway, ha - rin g to make another tack before she weathered the mark. The Pearl did the same, but the Marina, holding better wind than either, fetched the mark with ono tack, and sh)rtened the distance of sepa ration considerably between herself and Pearl. Thematch was terminated at— If. M. S. Witchcraft Pearl Marius The Osprey, as the Marina was passing the boat, being at the Warner, three miles astern. The Witchcraft thus won Commodore Thellusson's Cup, and Mr. Broadwood two Sears ago won with the Galatea the Comniudore'l3 Cup in tho match to Cherbourg. ' MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT.—Susanna Gascoigne, about 40 years of age, an inmate of the workhouse of St. George's, Hanover-square, was charged with refractory conduct and misbehaviour. Mr. Rogers attended to prosecute on the part of the parish. _ . It appears that on the 27th ult. the prisoner was taken into custody by the police in New Bond-street for an offence under the Vagrant Act. She was taken to the station with great difficulty, biting and fighting all the way. While there she behaved in a most extraordinary manner, en deavouring to strip off her clothes, refusing to sit, stand, or speak. Mr. Tyrwhitt, before whom she was brought, assuming that her mind was disordered, instead of sending her to prison, directed that she might be admitted to St. George's Workhouse and examined by the medical officer. This was done, and Mr. Bloxam, the surgeon, after close examination, certified that she was neither ill nor insane. The police authorities again charged her with the first offence, and she was thereupon taken before Mr. Knox, when she still acted in the same extraordinary manner, and after another examination by the divisional surgeon, whose certificate was in accordance with that given by Mr. Bloxam, Mr. Knox compassion ately sent her to the workhouse again instead of to prison. Her conduct in the workhouse, however, was so violent and wicked, that the authorities charged her with the offence. Evidence was now given by Mrs. Edwards, the head nurse, and others, that during the whole time tho prisoner had been in the house she had used the most obscene and disgusting language, biting, fighting, and threatening some of the inmates, who were in great terror of her. She had repeatedly stripped off the whole of her clothes, and ran about in a state of nudity. At other times she would not leave her bed nor speak ; and now, before Mr. Knox, she refused to sit, stand, or speak. Mr. Knox committed her for six weeks, and directed that the medical certificate should be attached to the com mitment. • THAMES. IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT A FlNE.—Charles Parkins, a bricklayer, was charged with interfering with the police in the execution of their duty, and with assaulting Policeman 221 K. It appeared that about 12 o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty in North-street, Poplar, when he heard a dis turbance. He went to the spot, where he found a crowd of persons. The prisoner was among them. He suc ceeded in dispersing the greater portion of it. One of the crowd refused to go, when the prisoner came up and struck him a severe blow in the face, and observed that he would no calling him, at the same time, a vile name. Some blood flowed from the wound. The prisoner ran into a house, followed ty the complainant. The constable got to the door, when his leg was jammed in the door-way, where he was held fast. Policeman 291 K corroborated the evidence, and stated hat he saw blood upon the face of his brother officer. A female friend of the prisoner stated that she complained to the constable of the annoyance caused by the boys—a lot of whom were called " Gadmouth boys"—who had broken many of their windows. The constable told them if they had any complaint to make that he had better sum mon the boys. Ho told her that if she did not go away he would,take her into custody. She told him that she was near her own house. The constable then left her. She went to the station-house, but she was refused to bo ad mitted. The prisoner was sent to the House of Correction for a month. New Cattle Route from Thames Haven, by Rail, to Islington. Most people are so absorbed by their pursuits that they have but a hazy knowledge of other callings than their own. There are millions of consumers, and many thou sands of producers of meat in these islande who know little of the London cattle-markets, and nothing at all of the importation of foreign animals. If an ordinary Eng lishman occasionally allows his thoughts to range from the inanimate beef, mutton, veal, or pork before him to the living creatures of which these meats are made, an involuntary recollection of shorthorn, Ayrshire, Devon, West Highland, and Scotch polled cattle ; of Leicester, ' South Down, Shropshire, Cheviot, blackfaced, and Welsh sheep; and of obese Berkshire and gaunt Irish pigs flits across his mind. Nevertheless, the importation of hundreds of thousands of sheep and cattle of none of these breeds, from the continent to various British ports, con stitutes a largo and growing trade. To this public atten tion has been keenly directed for some weeks in conse quence of the prevalence of the cattle plague in London and elsewhere. The whole subject is being thoroughly investi gated, and, no doubt, the present epizootic will be even tually productive of benefit to the British meat consumers. The origin of this disease is ascribed ,to three sources. Some attribute it to the use of grains and market refuse in dirty, ill-ventilated London cow-sheds; some, again, have taken pains to prove that it has been directly imported from long-infected districts on the continent ; while others believe that it is generated among foreign cattle during their transmission to this country. It is said that, even if put on board in sound health, they suffer greatly on the voyage from overcrowding as well as from want of food, water, and ventilation, and also from being driven some eight or nine miles from the place of debarcation to the Metropoli tan Cattle Market. Those who are interested in the' sub ject will remember that, at the meeting of foreign cattle importers lately held in Newgate-street, it was stated that, if the cattle could be landed lower down the river, and brought direct from thence by rail to the market, a large amount of loss to owners, suffering to the cattle, and inconvenience to the public would be obviated. Ha v i ng been informed last week that Messrs. Phillips, Graves, Phillips and Co., whO are the agents for the North German Lloyd's screw steamers, and also for the Nether lands Steamboat Company, had for some time adopted this plan, we have made a personal inspection of its working, the result of which we proceed to state. The sheep and cattle from Bremen and Rotterdam are landed at Thames-haven, about 10 miles below Gravesend. Here they aro turned into several acres of good pasturage, to await the arrival of the train that is to convey them direct to the town in less than an hour, without privation or fatigue. The Tilbury and Southend Railway Company conveys them to Stratford, where there is an engine of the North London Railway Company waiting to bring them on the rest of the way. This system appears to possess many advantages for the shipowners, the shippers, and the cattle. The other day a cattle-laden ship arrived at Thames-haven at a quarter past 12 o'clock p.m., and left in ballast for Bremen at 4 p.m., during which time th e ca ttl e were di sem b ar k e d an d turned into the fields. With an ebb tide it would have taken this vessel a longer time to reach Blackwall, and then she would have delivered her cattle in a much worse condition than that in which they arrived by rail. The North German Lloyds' have five ships of from 60C to 850 tons and the 17eth,exiands two—one of 300, the other 600, to burden— engaged in this trade. The full-grown cattle are generally placed between decks, where they have about 96 cubic feet of space each. The sheep, calves, and pigs (of which last there are not many), are put on the upper deck. It is ne cessary to crowd these pretty close together, in order that they may not be swayed about by the motion of the ship. All these animals are inspected previous to shipment by foreign veterinary surgeons, whose reports are indorsed by the British Consul, and also on their arrival by profes sional inspectors of our own Government. Last year this firm brought over 30,000 head of cattle, none of which suf fered in any way, except from the effects of bad weather. This, however, is unavoidable. It has actually happened, when they used to land their cattle at Blackwall, that they have had to go down the river and out to sea again, to throw overboard the cattle that had been killed during a rough passage, and on two occasions they have been forced to throw overboard 100 live cattle out at sea. The passage from Bremen, whence the best conti nentelicattle come, is about 36 hours. The trucks on the railway are now kept constantly limewashecl. But these might be much improved .in construction, and the sheep and cattle might be much more gently and patiently dealt with while being forced into them. These cattle are mostly black and white, though there are some red ones among them. They have not the level backs and deep square bodies of our best breeds, but many of them have well bred looking heads and horns, mild countenances, good skins, and fine bone. In a few generations a skilful breeder could produce a first-class herd from such originals. They " open" well, and make good meat. The sheep we saw being put into the trucks bore some resemblance to Che viots in head, shape, and appearance, and many of them were very fat. It is scarcely possible to make this inspec tion without being convinced that the importation of foreign sheep and cattle is a boon to this country, and that the mode of conveyance we have described is worthy of general adoption. THE CHOLERA IN TURKEY (From the Times' Correspondent.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 11. There is no longer any doubt as to the nature . of the epidemic which is ravaging this metropolis ; and its neighbouring villages. Cholera in its worst form is now raging, carrying off daily (scarcely with any warning) its hundreds of victims, and such is the panic among the residents that it is fearful to contemplate the consequences if it continues much longer. Business of all kinds is almost entirely suspended ; hundreds are flying in all directions ; and it is estimated that as many as 150,000 per sons have left Constantinople, principally hanials (porters) and domestic servants. It is chiefly among the poorer classes that this dreadful scourge has (up to the present time) committed such havoc. In the crowded and filthy habitations of the Jews, among the Galata porters, and now in the crowded quarters of Stamboul they are dying faster than they can bury them. Nor have the (hitherto considered salubrious) villages of the Bosphorus escaped, one after another they are swept by the pestiferous malady. Therapia, the summer residence of the elite of our society, has been particularly afflicted, and it is now quite deserted ; many who had fled there for safety have rushed to other places, to be again driven forth, as one after another the diffe rent villages become infected. In fact, such a cowardly panic exists, that were it not so serious in its consequences it would be ludicrous. At Thera pia the dead and dying were left by their affrighted friends, who fled as soon as the poor creatures were attacked, and the noble courage displayed by some of the gentlemen of the English Embassy who, amid the panic, searched out and at tended the dying and the dead, is beyond all praise, ministering with their own hands to the wants of the dying ones, and searching out those left unburied ; as many as 50 bodies were found thus deserted. In some cases the doctors have refused to visit the patients afflicted with cholera, but I must give the rest credit for the noble devotion they have displayed in this trying emergency. Many have succumbed to the disease and the fatigue entailed upon them. To the Go vernment also great praise is due for the strenuous efforts it is making to arrest the malady and assist the afflicted ; in some cases nobly supported by public charity—the Freemasons especially having at their own expense established ambulances, hospi tals, and free dispensaries ; but with all these efforts many districts are entirely without medical assist ance of any sort. In the crowded haunts of Scutari they are dying in hundreds, entirely uncaredfor, with no medicines and no doctors to help them. Among our small English community we have to deplore the loss of many D. -ti c.ll-izracanlatr--41 face, Is not surprising , considering the place mo s t o f th e .. engineers inhabit (a dirty village near the Arsenal and Cassim Pasha), in which place the disease firsi declared itself. All the Government works are suspended and disorganised. The arsenal, Tophana, &c., are quite deserted. The public offices are also almost en tirely closed, the Custom-house being only open two hours a day. In fact, such is the scarcity of labour caused by the desertion of the hamcrls (por ters) that ships have great difficulty in unloading and taking in cargoes. The once busy streets of Galata are quite deserted, shops and offices closed, and business of all kinds quite suspended. I have no doubt the epidemic has, been much aggravated by the abject fear of the inhabitants, combined with the too free use of ardent spirits (of the worst description), which may indulge in at the present time, and the unusual heat which now pre vails. At Smyrna the malady still continues its ra vages, and, if possible, the disorganisation of that place is worse than Constantinople. At Beyrout, also, and most of the towns in the Levant, the dis ease is committing fearful ravages ; in fact, to such an extent, that the whole of the empire is per fectly demoralised. In Wallachia and Moldavia the panic is spreading; although by the last accounts the disease had not declared itself, the inhabitants were all ready for a bolt on its first appearance. At Soulina a few cases have occurred, entirely shutting up all busi nesses; ships are detained waiting for their cargoes, while the lighters refuse to bring down the river. With all this excitement you will readily understand that very little attention is de voted to politics or speculations. The noisy Bourse, with its crowds of eager gamesters, is quite deserted ; even the conversion scheme is postponed sine die. lam happy to say there has been a diminution in the number of deaths the last two days, and it is hoped we have seen the worst of this terrible afflic tion. Accounts from Ancona, in the Opinione of Flo rence,'state that from the 15th to the 16th at noon there were 44 new cases and 28 deaths throughout the territory. The total number 9f casesup to that date amounted to 1,799, and the total number of -- deaths to 243—being little more than one-half. It must be kept in mind that in all the accounts hitherto published, the whole territory and not the _ . town alone, was meant. A correspondent states the curious fact that on the 9th a short but violent storm broke over Ancona, and that immediately afterwards a great improvement in the public health became perceptible. Not only did the number of cases diminish considerably, but the state of languor and prostration in which the patients lay ceased in most instances. We beg here to remark that this is a most important fact, since it goes far to prove the correctnessof the supposition, already confirmed by other observations, that the virulence of cholera is peculiarly owing to the absence of ozone in the at mosphere. Now, ozone being electrified oxygen, is amply supplied during storms; hence the diminution of cholera atAncona is probably owing to the sudden supply of that substance produced by the electric fluid evolved during the storm. We think itwould not be amiss to test the correctness of this theory by arti ficially electrifying the atmosphere of sick wards during cholera; and as great anxiety is naturally felt just now about the progress of this terrible epidemic, we would remind our readers of a series few years important experiments instituted in Russia a years since on a whole regiment of soldiers, by Dr. Pozmaneki, showing that a tendency t o cholera is even always preceded by a lowering of the pulse, down to 40. Hence a careful observation be of the state of the pulse during the epidemic m use ful in averting an attack by a judicious recourse to tonics and a nourishing diet. Sic SEMPEB TYRANNIS.—The motto on the Vir ginia coat of arms has been changed. " Sic Semper Tyrannis" has been expunged, and the words "Liberty and Union" now appear above the Goddess of Liberty trampling upon the prostrate form of Tyranny.

The Attorney-General on the Late Elections. At the annual dinner of the Craven Agricultural Society, held at Skpton on Friday, Sir R. PALMER replied to the toast of "The House of Commons." The hon. and learned gentlenian, Who was enthusiastically welcomed, said he could mot boast of being a thorough-bred Yarkshiren-ian ; but by what was generally considered the best side—his mother's :side—he was not only a York-shireman, but was entitled to claim the right of citizenship in this very neighbourhood. (Cheers.) lie could assure them that he never came amongst their beautiful hills and valleys without feeling proud, indeed, of that connexion. He was proud to return thanks for the members of the Yorkshire boroughs. It was a body to which no man could belong without feeling in cited and stimulated more and more to do his best to serve his country. At least one of these meinhers occupied a more important position than his in the labour of the Government. Sir Charles Wood— (applause) —was entitled more than most people seemed to be aware of to the respect and gratitude of the country. It was he who restored to us our Indian empire, or at all events restored it to that state of good government without which our empire could not be secure—(cheers)—and he was one of the Yorkshire borough members. . (Hear, hear.) Mr. Childer s — (applause) —one of the most rising men in the House of Commons, was also a Yorkshire borough member. He had rendered most valuable services to the Government in one position, and he was about to render equally valuable services in a still more eminent position. (Cheers.) And to rise a little beyond the mere extent of Yorkshire, he could not fail to recollect th at a brother of his noble friend near him (Lord Frederick Cavendish) who was at least a Yorkshireman if he did not represent a York shire borough, had already rendered most distin guished service to the public—he referred to the Mar quis of Hartington. (Cheers.) He (Sir R. Palmer) was told that politics were excluded on such occa sions as the present ; but how was it possible to talk of the House of Commons without mentioning poli tics. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The difficulty was a little increased, seeing that this was .a new House of Commons. It had done nothing yet, but he hoped and believed it would do a great deal before it had run its time out. (Hear, hear.) It appeared to him to be wellqualified for renderinggreat service to the country. (Hear, hear.) To describe what might be done by the new House of Commonswould be trenching upon forbidden ground, but he might remark that there was much to encourage them to hope great things from the present House of Com mons. A most wonderful unanimity seemed to pre vail as to the result of the elections. There weretwo parties—the Government, or the Liberals ; and the Opposition, or the Tories. The Government party, by having recourse to a simple system of arithmetic, had found that the elections had given them a clear working majority of 70 or 80. Of course every one expected to find great mortification on the other side at this result. By no means. (Laughter.) The eminent leader of the Opposition, Mr. Disraeli, was quite as well satisfied as the Government. (Laughter.) The election had turned out exactly as he also wished and desired—(laughter)—precisely as he expected ; and so far from disproving the great Conservative reaction, he contended that it actually demonstrated the truth of it, (Renewed laughter and applause.) He was very glad to receive from such high authority additional proof that the present Government had discharged their duty with so much more credit than the Conservatives liked always to admit. (Hear.) He was happy to think not only that those who called themselves by the same party name as that which distinguished the Government, but those who ranked themselves under the banners of Mr. Disraeli, were ready to admit that the present Government was an able and successful one, and he felt sure that in the next House of Commons the Government, having a great majority, would continue to admi nister the reins of power with a view to the general interests of the country, and to the union of classes and interests in the cause of progress, poli tical and social, without which it was certainly im possible for any. party whatever to govern. (Cheers.) He did not pretend to understand every thing. He had been bred to the law ; and he had been obliged to serve an apprenticeship to Par -144 confestaed-1311.._did not understand agriculture, but he understood, he hoped, the im portance of agriculture in connection with the other interests of the country to the general good. Ho hoped they would not expect much from legislation on agriculture. Parliament would do all that was possible to remove the fetters Out of the way of agri culture ; but it depended chiefly upon themselves to work out the improvements that were required. (Hear, hear.) Reference had been made to a most important subject, which, he would assure them, was, even before it was spoken of so much in the country, occupying the most anxious consideration of the Government —he meant the progress of the disease which had lately appeared amongst cattle. Ele would not enter into the question, but he wished to mention that the Government had good reason to know that there was very little ground indeed for supposing that the disease originated with cattle imported from abroad. It would be a great public calamity if persons took any prejudice against the importation of cattle from abroad at a time when, from the rise in the price of meat at home, that im portation was most valuable. (Hear, hear.) H e believed there had been slight ground of reason for imagining that the adiseaseborad 7 had . bo been etebe f n coancvteyoefd itsto this country from existence might in the end prove of great benefit to agriculture. What was it that led to the in creased attention to public health,'and to the pru dent legislation that took place on that subject-- legislation not imposed in a compulsory or arbitrary manner, but left to the people to adopt as they choose ? It was the appearance of cholera amongst us. These evils, terrible and calamitous as they were at the time, if turned to good account, often were the means of producing permanent good, and so it might be in regard to this. There was very much to be learned and very much to be done all over England in endeavouring to ascertain the laws 4.1_ _. that govern the subj ec t, an d i n introducing_ those mprovements in the system of dealing in cattle that were necessary to enable the farmers - to avoid such calamities in the future, or at all events to mitigate them as much aspossible when they occurred. (Hear.) They might be sure that from Government and from Parliament they would obtain every assistance in order to enable them to grapple with the subject. (Loud cheers.) Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market continues brisk. Sales, probably 15,000 bales. MAJOR F. H. DE VERE.—It was announced at Chatham garrison last night that during the pre vious few hours the condition of Major F. H. De Vere had become alarmingly worse, rapid inflam mation having set in, and other serious symptoms developed themselves. In answer to our corre spondent's inquiries, Major De Vere was stated to be gradually sinking. Very little business has been negotiated in dis count circles, but the brokers, nevertheless, maintain the same reserve they have manifested for a long time past, and are disinclined to part with their capital except at the price equal to the official mini mum for the best description of short-dated papez. Tho advices from several of the manufacturing districts for the past week report that business in some instances has remained inactive, particularly at Manchester, where prices of both cloths and yarns have given - way, id. to id. per lb. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been rather inactive, a few casual dealings in goods having been reported. At Leicester and Not tingham there has been a fair business transacted in the hosiery and lace departments, while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton rather more activity has prevailed in several departments. The Rio de Janeiro City Improvements Company have received from the Brazilian Government a second remittance, amounting to £6,856, in respect of the payment for houses drained in the first dis trict, for the half-year ended the 30th of June 4 . last.
