POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNPROVOKED ASSAULTS.—George Hammond, a shoe maker, residing in Cecil-court, St. Martin's-lane, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. Arthur Emms, son of Mr. Dams, a pork butcher residing at 35, Riding House-street, and also with assaulting James Harmer, in the employ of Mr. Emms. Mr. Arthur Minns said that on Saturday night he went to the door of his father's house, 35, Riding House-street in consequence of the prisoner and some others making a great noise. He requested the prisoner to go away when he gave him a violent blow in the mouth, and then ran away, but ho was pursued and given into custody Mr. John Henry Emma, the complainant's father, said— On going to the door to request the prisoner to leave and not interrupt his business, the prisoner struck his son and threw him down. James Harmer, in the employ of Mr. Emms, said that while following the prisoner, ho turned round suddenly, struck him in the stomach with his head, at the same time throwing him over his back on his face and hurting him a great deal. Police-constable 49 E corroborated the last witness. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 40s. or a month for th© assault on Mr. Emma, and 20s. or 14 days for that on Harmer. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues quiet, the demand being no ,v of a moderate character. Tho rates out of doors are al 4 per cent. Sixteen thousand sovereigns from Portugal were taken into the Bank on Saturday. The report of the London and Lisbon Corkwood Company, to be presented on Thursday, states the available toal at £3,219, and recommends a dividend for the half year at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum. The Company have acquired extensive forests in Algeria, and samples have been received therefrom. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts have generally been satisfactory during the past week. At Manchester there has been a fair demand for goOds suitable to home requirements, although only moderate transactions have been re corded for exportation. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been season ably active, while the demand for lace and hosiery at Leicester and Nottingham has been steady. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been a slight improvement in most departments. At the annual meeting of the Royal Insurance Company, the report on the life business was of an exceedingly gratifying character, the sum assured on new policies effected in 1864 amounting to the al most unprecedentedly large sum of £1,014,897, and the premiums thereon to £32,708. Large as were the operations of the past year, however, the results disclosed in the able bonus report and elaborate " appendix" of Mr. Percy M. Dove, the talented actuary of the company and well-known mathema tician, eclipsed much of the interest that would otherwise have attached to them. The Royal, in completing its twentieth year, completes also an other quinquennial period, and its liabilities and assets have undergone a minute investigation, and been valued on the safest and soundest princi ples which experience has determined. After show ing in his report how rapidly the company's business has extended in the five years just closed, Mr. Dove states that the amount of surplus profit realised in that period is no less than £168,985. Of this amount he, for convenience, takes an even sum, £165,000, and after appropriating one-third to the credit of the proprietors, the remaining sum, it ap pears, "is sufficient, even though the interest of money should only be 3 per cent., to provide a rever sionary bonus of £2 per cent. per annum to be added to the original sum assured of every participating policy effected prior to 1863." This, we need hardly say, is the largest continuous bonus ever declared by any other office, and this fact of itself is the best proof that can possibly be given of the careful management which has all along characterised the Progress of this gigantic insurance institution. The " appendix " to the actuary's report consists of 48 pages, and gives the minutest particulars as to the affairs of the company. It would save mu el disap pointment if this practice were followed by all asso ciations that transact life business. Those who do not, however, are always open to suspicion that their affairs are not satisfactory, and hence they run a great risk of being eclipsed by an office like the Royal, whose great desire seems to be to keep the public fully informed upon all matters of detail as well as of results in the aggregate. Were this not so the Appendix would not have been published. For the first 15 years of the company's existence the net premiums received, after deducting re-assurances and returns, amounted i o £332,903, in the last five years £543,025, the difference being £210,032, showing the amount of the last five years to be no less than 63 per cent. in advance of the previous 15 years. The expenses, including com mission and every other charge, are gradually diminishing. In the first 10 years they were 14.8 per cent., in the next five years 12.75 per cent., and in the last quinquennial period 11.98 per cent. The claims have been remarkably favourable. In the first 10 years they were 32.75 per cent., the follow ing five years 31.7, and for the last five years 33.39, while for the whole period of 20 years they were 32.9 per cent. of the premiums received. The rapid growth of the accumulated funds is another evi dence of the soundness of the company. At the close of the last five years they amounted to the large sum of £571,046, being nearly 70 per cent. above the total accumulations of the preceding 15 years, and more than five times the sum accumu lated during the first 10 years of the company's progress. The total accumulated funds, including all departments of the business, together with the paid-up capital, now amount to £1,160,649. In the fire department the Royal has advanced still more rapidly than in the life. The fire pre miums in 1864 were £406,403, being larger by £64,736 than those of the preceding year. The losses, however, were heavy, as they have been in all similar companies, and, as a con sequence, no profit was made on this head ; but, of course, the results of fire insurance must never be taken by single years. It is satisfactory to find that although in eight years there have been two exceptionally bad ones—the past, and the year 1861, when the large fire in Tooley-street occurred —yet that over the whole period the Royal has realised on the fire business a very handsome profit. In one year alone, 1863, the profit was £83,000. There is then no cause for complaint, but every reason for congratulation, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Dove, to whose Herculean labours this com pany is so greatly indebted, will long be spared to guide and conduct its affairs, and that, with the assistance of Mr. McLaren, the sub-manager, and the other officials, it will go on not only as pros perously as hitherto, but, as there is every indication of its doing, still more prosperously. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. 05c. Firm and animated.

DUTY ON PATENT MEDICINES.—It is shown by an official document that, iu the year ended 61st March last, the duty on patent medicines produced as much as £55,333 Os. 410. THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S CHURCH PATRONAGE. —The Lord Chancellor has presented the Rev. Matthew Wood, M.A., of St. Catherine's College, Cam ,bridge, to the united vicarages of All Saints' and St. Law rence, Evesham, rendered vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Francis ; and the Rev. William Elliot Haddow, M.A., of Christ's College, Cambridge, curate of Ebrington, near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, to the vicarage of that parish. DANGEROUS LEAP FROM A TRAIN.—On Wednes day forenoon, a man who was travelling from Kir riomuir to Dundee leaped from a train on the Scottish Northern Eastern line, and made a very narrow escape with his life. When the train was at full speed between Barry and Monifieth, one of the passengers looked out of the carriage -door window. The wind blow off his hat, and without seeming to realise the dangerous nature of the act ho was to commit, he deliberately opened the door and leaped out. So great Ras the velocity of the train that he was thrown headlong to the ground, and the injuries he sustained were very severe. On reaching Monifieth sta tion the guard of the train was informed of what had oc curred, and the train was run back in order that assistance might be rendered to the foolhardy man. Ire was found lying on the ground, his face covered with blood, but did not seem to be so much injured as many anticipated. He was assisted into the train and taken to Dundee, and re fused to allow himself to be convoyed to the infirmary. THE BILSTON SAVINGS BANK DEFALCATIONS,— At a meeting of the principal depositors on Saturday it was resolved that it would be desirable to sell the debt due from Mr. Fletcher to the trustees, to persons who would form a friendly subscription among themselves, especially if connected with the parish of St. Leonard's. The depo sitors have already received 13s. Gd. in the pound, and it is hoped that they will ultimately receive 175., for it was announced at the meeting that a private gentleman, who has all along taken great interest in the depositors, will add to the £3,000 purchase money a gift from his private purse of £1,500. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—Mr. Stewart, the secretary, has issued a circular, in which he says :—" With a view of making the public aware, at the earliest period practicable, of the dividend likely to bo de clared by this company at the ensuing general meeting, I am authorised to state that the accounts, though not yet finally audited, or approved by the hoard of directors, indi cate a dividend, for the past half-year, at the rate of six per cont. per annum." THE MURDER OF LIEUTENANT CLUTTERBUCK.--- At the King's County assizes, on Friday, before the Lord Chief Justice, Laurence King was indicted for the wilful murder of Lieutenant Clutterbuck, of the sth Fusiliers, on the Bth of July last. The trial has not yet concluded. ST. JAMES'S HALL.—" The World of Magic," at the St. James's Hall, continues to attract large audi ences. Mr. Maccabe has quite established himself as a universal favourite. Professor and the Misses Anderson have introduced several novelties. The first morning per formance on Saturday was a decided success. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENT. G, A UGUST 7, 1865, SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share' Railways. p ail !

The quotation of gold at Paris is about I per mille pm., and the short exchange on Loudon is 25.17 i per .£1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 I7s. 1014 per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advic,7s from Hamburg the price of gold Is 428 per mars and the short exchange on London is 13.7} per .£1 stcrlin . Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. 'nurse of exchange at New York on London tor bills at 60 days' sight is ICSI to 109 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation of go'd from the United States. MARK-LANE. The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur day was firm, and an advance of is. to 2s. per quarter took place in prices, as compared with the previous week• Barley was in very short supply, and tho quotations had au upward tendency. Other articles were in fair average request, and prices ruled firm. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and prices are on the advance. In spring corn a fair average business is doing at full currencies. At New York the demand for wheat and flour for export has fallen off The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad con sisted of 16,302 quarters of wheat, 4,000 barley, 45,420 oats, 736 beans, 60 peas, 20,768 linseed, 12,431 rapeseed, 75 sundry seeds, 210 sacks and 11,128 barrels of flour. Tho arrivals of home-grown wheat, of last year's growth, fresh up to our market to-day, were limited. Owing to the unsettled state of the weather, the trade for all quali ties was firm in the extreme, and an advance of from 2s to 3s. per quarter took place in prices as compared with Mon day last. With foreign wheat. the market was moderately supplied. Holders and importers wore very firm in their demands, and the quotations advanced 2s to 3s per quarter. Floating cargoes of wheat were in request, at an im provement in value of 2s. to 3s. per quarter from Monday last. Spring corn, afloat, was firm in price. The supply of English barley on sale was very limited, and prices must be considered nominal. Foreign barley— of which there was a moderate supply on offer—was held at fully late rates. The malt trade was film and prices were ls. to 2s. per quarter higher than on Monday last. With oats the market was well supplied. For most de scriptions there was a good demand, at an improvement in the quotations of Gd. per quarter. Scarcely any English beans were on offer. Foroignbeans were in fair demand, and prices ruled firm. The few English peas on offer sold at late rates. Foreign qualities supported last Monday's currency. The flour trade was very firm. country marks improved in value 2s. per sack. Foreign sacks were is. per quarter dearer than on Monday last, and an improvement of Gd. to is. per barrel took place in the value of American qualities. The supply of new, produce on sale was very limited, owing to the hindrance to harvest work caused by the un favourable weather ; it consisted this morning of only ono parcel of red Kent wheat, which was held at 50s. per quarter.

There was a large supply of foreign stock on offer in to day's market, and sales progressed slowly, on rather lower terms. Its general quality was very middling. The arrivals of beasts flesh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, and the condition of all breeds was by no means first-ra`43. Prime Scots, Herefords, Devons, and short-horns mcved off steadily, at full prices • the top figure being 5s Gd per 81b ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, prices had a downward tendency. Several kullocks suffering from disease were seized by the authorities, and immediately slaughtered. By some persons it is described as " gtstric fever." From Lincolnshire, Leicedershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,100 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 220 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and heifers. e were fairly supplied with sheep, but at least a moiety of them were of inferior quality. Downs, half-brods, and other prime breeds sold freely at extreme rates. Inferior sheep were dull, and 2d per Sib lower. Tho highest prico was Us 4d per 81b. The supply of lambs was limited.

Gd The Conversion and Unification of the Ottoman Debt• TO THE EDITOR. Sir,--The conversion of the Ottoman Internal Debt is fixed for the first days of August. The opposition to the measure naturally aroused by the many disappointed interests is therefore at an end. It has certainly delayed an operation the soundness of which is not disputed, but it has suc ceeded neither financially in burking it, nor politi cally in shaking,,the position bf the present advisers of the Sultan. It is only fair, therefore, that those interested in the conversion should be made acquainted with the real facts of the case. These, with your permission, I will lay before your readers, neither advocating the cause of those who have been assailed, nor en deavouring to turn the tables on the assailants. The liabilities of the Ottoman Empire are divided into two categories—the External or Hypothecated Debts, contracted, as their designation implies, abroad, and secured on special sources of revenue ; and the Internal Debt's, known principally under the generic term of Consolides, issued at Constanti nople alone, and therefore dependent only on a compact between the Porte and its subjects, and secured on the general credit and resources of the Empire. The External Debts, with the exception of one which is guaranteed by England and France, bear an interest of 6 per cent., with a sinking fund of 1 per cent. The Internal Debts, for the most part, bear an interest of 6 per cent., with a sinking fund of 2 per cent. In both cases the sinking fund is applied to the payment of obligations at par by annual draw ings. _ _ This state of things was evidently unsatisfactory to investors, and therefore damaging to the country. The public debt of a State should be of one uni form value, and rest on the same security. An in vestor wishing to purchase French or English stock can do so almost without inquiry. The investor in Turkish funds meets with difficulties which one not acquainted with finance does not care to encounter. He finds two descriptions of securities of different value, each description further subdivided into unequal gradations. Thus a complicated system depreciates public credit even where the security, if carefully examined, would be found satisfactory. Meanwhile the general credit of the country is diminished by each successive hypothecation. It was therefore the desire of the Government, — first, to establish for the future a uniform and nor mal system of public debt, reposing, not on special mortgages of revenue, but on the general faith and resources of the State ; secondly, to reduce such existing debts as could be reached into this one system. This object was accomplished by the enactment of three laws. These laws established a system of public debt, to be called the General Debt of the Empire. A Great Book is instituted, in which all future debts of the Empire are to be inscribed, under the direction of a high officer of State, to be called Governor of the General Debt. These debts are to consist of obligations at 6' per cent., with a sinking fund of 1 per cent. The obli gations aro to be printed in Turkish, English, and French, bearing a fixed value in the currency of the language. The interest is to be paid half-yearly, at a fixed rate of exchange, at Constantinople, Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Frankfort. Tho sinking fund is to be employed in the follow ing manner :—A sum of 1 per cent. on the original nominal value of -the bonds issued, together with the interest of bonds previously amortised, is to be annually applied to amortisation. With this sum bonds are to be purchased to the nominal amount of 1 per cent., at the market price of the day. The difference between the market price of the bonds and their nominal value is to be applied to a reserve fund, which will preserve the equilibrium of credit. This institution, perhaps, requires elucidation. Assume a debt to be created of the nominal value of one million sterling. One per cent. on this is £lO,OOO, and this amount will be annually appro priated for the amortization. But the market price of £lO,OOO Turkish Stock may only be £5,000 or £6,000. Therefore, of the £lO,OOO set apart for amortization, £5,000 or £6,000 - will be applied for that purpose, and the remainder for the reserve fund. Thus, if the stock remain at 50—the price of issue —an accumulation of the reserve fund will amount at the end of 37 years, when the debt will be finally amortized, to a sum equal to the whole amount of the debt. Meanwhile, if Turkish credit be bad and Ottoman funds be low, the reserve fund increases in amount, while it decreases only in proportion to the rise of public credit. _ _ _ Precautions are furthermore taken for the due administration of the new debt. By a clause in the law no fresh inscription can be made, except after due provision for the payment of the interest and sinking fund thereon, either by an increase of re venue or a saving of expenditure ; while the opera tions of the reserve and sinking funds are subject to the supervision of a council composed of leading merchants, native and foreign, resident at Constan tinople. Thus a species of debt has been established con sistent both with the interests of the holders and the dignity of the empire. It is not an internal debt, subject to compacts between a sovereign and his sub jects, but to an external and almost cosmopolitan debt, negotiable in all the money markets of Europe, and having its interest paid without deduction for exchange, in any financial centre where the holder may happen to reside. In fact, the coupons may almost be considered as bills of exchange, so greatly will they facilitate remittances between the Levant and Europe. This object effected, the next consideration was as to the means of bringing within the radius of this new debt such liabilities as already existed. The External Debts could not be touched, as being secured by special arrangements. Th e only bond-holders to whom inducements could be held o ut were the holders of Consolides, all of whom were practically in the position of Turkish subjects, and whose income. w hen abroad was diminished by the discount levied o ntheir coupons, which were only payable at Constantinople. The annual interest on the Consolides, as has already been mentioned, is six pounds Turkish on each 100 pounds Turkish of stock—i. e., about £5 9s. ld. per annum. Th e sinking fund was 2 per cent. by annual drawings. It was considered by many that the advantages held out by the new stock at 5 per cent., with 1 per cent. sinking fund, would make it almost as valuable as the old internal stock; the increased moral advantages being considered an equivalent for the diminution of the payments. It was decided, however, to give to the bondholders such great advantages as would insure the conversion.* For every 100 pounds Turkish, giving annually £5 9s. Id., subject to discount when abroad, the Turkish Govern ment offer a bond of 110 Turkish pounds, equal to £lOO sterling, and further a bond of 11 pounds Turkish, or £lO sterling, thus adding 21 per cent. to capital, while giving the same or a slightly additional income. In exchan ge f or the ot h er advantages given to the bond holder, the Government only takes the 1 per cent. saved on the amortization: Against this saving a now loan has been issued of £4,000,000 Turkish nominal, which has been placed, and is now quoted in all the great Exchanges of Europe. It must here be remarked that this loan has been obtained by the Turkish Government without any addition to its an nual burdens. The reader may himself judge of the value of the advan tages held out to those bondholders who convert. The conversion of the debt is a further proof of the good faith for which Fund Pasha has been distinguished in all his dealings with foreign or native capitalists, as well as of his confidence in the resources of the Turkish empire as he has thus voluntarily placed the debt on a footing which requires as punctual and regular a payment of the half yearly interest as in the case of the most civilised European Governments.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, CONSOLIDE. * Mention is hero only made of the Consolides, the bulk, of the Internal stock. There are one or two other descrip tions, small in amount, principally held in Turkey, with which it is unnecessary to encumber the present statement. Madlle. Adelina Patti is expected at Florence. It is said that there will be Opera in English at Her Majesty's Theatre during the winter. POPULATION OF THE KINGDOM.—The population of the United Kingdom is estimated at the General Register Office at 29,772,294 hi the middle of the year 1865. THE OLD WALL OF LONDON.—Those who take any interest in Old London may like to know that a portion of the old wall which once encircled the city is to be seen in Jewin-street, Aldgate. Some old buildings have been removed, and the ground is at present cleared. The Cattle Disease. The following letter, relating to the cattle plague, has been addressed to the Clerk of the Council, by Professor Simonds, of the Royal Veterinary College: " Royal Veterinary College, Aug. 3, 1865. " Sir,—l beg to submit for your consideration the following suggestions, which have for their object the arresting of the cattle plague, which unfortu nately is now prevailing in several parts of the coun try as well as in the London dairies. Under such circumstances it is much to be feared that, unless farmers, stock-owners, cattle dealers, and others whose interests are immediately involved, cordially co-operate in the endeavour to quickly exterminate the disease, wherever it may appear, it may assume a magnitude rightly to be regarded as a great national calamity. For this end it is important that all persons should know,— " Firstly. That the disease specially belongs to the ox tribe, and that it has never been known to attack any other domesticated animal. " Secondly. That it is the most infectious, as well as the most fatal of all diseases attacking cattle, and that it lies dormant in the system from seven to ten days, or often longer, before the animal gives any indications of being infected. " For these reasons it is imperatively necessary that the following precautions be observed : " 1. That all newly-purchased cattle of every kind be kept apart from others for a period of not less than twelve to fourteen days. " 2. That every cattle-owner keep a strict watch over his stock, so as to recognise the first indica tions of the disease, and as soon as any of these are manifested call to his assistance the professional aid of a veterinary surgeon. The early symptoms of the disease are usually a remarkably dull and dispirited condition of the animal, which will stand with its head hanging down, ears drawn back, and coat staring, refusing all food, and occasionally shivering. A watery discharge flows from the eyes and nostrils. The skin is hot, but sometimes chilly, the temperature varying from time to time. The extremities are cold ; the breathing short and quick, being not unfrequently accompanied with moaning as an indication of pain. A slight cough is some times present. The inner part of the lip and roof of the mouth is reddened, and often covered with i raw-looking spots. The bowels are occasionally constipated, but in most instances diarrhoea soon sets in, the evacuations being slimy and very fre quently of a dirty yellow colour. The prostration of strength is great, the animal staggering when made to move. In milch cows the secretion of milk is rapidly diminished, and soon ceases altogether. " 3 That all infected cattle be instantly removed from the healthy, and placed in situations as far from them as poSsiblo. As a further precaution it would be well to have the healthy washed and cleansed. 4. That no cattle, the subjects of this disease, be allowed to remain in any meadow or pasture field, unless they can be isolated from all other cattle, as well as kept at a distance of not less than a hundred yards from all roads along which cattle may be driven. 5. That every animal which is violently attacked with the disease be killed at once, and buried with out delay,* and that the skin be placed in some dis infecting fluid before being sent off the premises: 6. That no cattle be allowed to go near to the burial place until several weeks have elapsed. 7. That no person who has the charge of the sick cattle be allowed to go near thl healthy ones, and that all indirect communication between the infected and the healthy be strictly prohibited. 8. That no fodder or straw which has been used about the infected be taken to other animals, or even thrown into the fold-yard or upon the manure heap, until it be first well sprinkled with chloride of lime or some other disinfecting powder. When prac ticable it is desirable that all such fodder and straw should be burnt. 9. That all sheds and stables in which diseased cattle have been located be thoroughly washed, cleansed, and ventilated, and likewise disinfected by whitewashings with quicklime, before any other cattle are placed therein ; and that during their occupancy by the diseased all manure and evacua tions be mingled with some disinfecting agent be fore being taken away. 10. That all railway cattle-trucks, station-ponds, ships used in the cattle trade, wharves, and other places where cattle are brought together, be kept as clean as possible by frequent washings ; and that disinfectants be used whenever there is reason to believe that they have been occupied by diseased cattle. 11. That no store stock, mulch cows, or cattle of any kind which have been exposed to the infection, by being located with the disease, be sent to any fair or market in less time than a month after such ex posure ; and that in all cases in which it is deter mined to stay the progress of the disease, by killing animals so exposed, they being at the time believed to be fit for human food, the animals be sent direct to the slaughter-house when not killed on the pre mises of the owner. Trusting that these measures may provo effective for the public good,—l am, sir, your most obedient . , servant; JAS. B. SDIONDS. To the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. * In the case of the London dairies, the animals to bo sent to the knackers, there being no convenience for burying them. THE MAJORITY OF PRINCE ALFRED.—Yesterday (Sunday) was the twenty-first anniversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, who was born August the 6th, 1844. NAPOLEON M.'S LIFE OF CESAR.There are some signs of an early appearance of the second volume of the Imperial Lifo of Cresar. M. Plon, the Paris publisher, is at Plombieres, with the Emperor, consulting as to its publication. The report recently circulated in English and American newspapers, that the French pub lisher had printed 140,000 copies of Volume 1., but that he had only been able to dispose of 22,000, and in consequence " complained bitterly" of his bargain, now turns out to be false. The number printed by M. Plon is not known, but among Paris publishers the sales are fixed at from 50,000 to 60,000 copies. Up to the present time, we believe, not a line of the English translation of the second division has been made. THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND, UPON TIIORLEY'S CONDIMENT.—" By its use the sheep improved in the most extraordinary degree, so much so, that after they had taken it three or four weeks, I really hardly knew them again."—T.

"My horses improved upon it so much that I was quite surprised."—Mr. CANTRELL.

LEWES RACES—SATURDAY. The concluding day's sport of this very . agreeable gathering was celebrated in the most delightful weather, and with a success quite equal to many of the more impor -tant meetings. The attendance, although not so large as on the first day, was exceedingly good, the largo number of carriages that left Brighton for the course bearing evi dence to the great popularity of Mr. Verrall's meeting. The Lewes Handicap, the County Cup, and the Nursery, added to five minor events, made up a very interesting card. Ono race, a Plate of '£so, was void in the absence of the re quired number of starters. Very little was doing on the principal handicap until the numbers were hoisted, when speculation became very active. Eighteen of the 26 on the card went to the post, those most in demand being Suspi cion and Provisor, though John Davis, Ballwin, and Ver dant had many friends ; indeed so good a handicap was it considered that nearly every horse that ran was backed. Suspicion, the Goodwood Stakes hero, scarcely belied his name, for he never showed prominently in the race, which was so cleverly won by John Davis that it is evident Danebury made little or no mistake when they stood him for "a raker" for the Northamptonshire Stakes. The other events do not call for special remarks, and the meet ing terminated with the Nursery Stakes, wherein a hot favourite, Gunboat, was bowled over, the race being won by Lucifer. Mr. Verrall may fairly be congratulated on the eminent success of the meeting, which, throughout, was characterised by excellent management. A detailed report of the day's racing-is appended : The Town Plate (Handicap) of 50 sovs ; for 3-:year-olds and upwards. 'Ralf a mile. Mr. S. Thellusson's My Cob, 3 yrs, Est 71b (car.
