THE SPORT/NGNOTES. No. CCXCV. THE LINCOLN MEETING. TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUIV. SlR,—The programme of the Lincoln recce is of about the usual length, and possesses the usual interest. Out of the four races on the card for the first day (to-mor row) two—the Hunters' end Selling Stakes—do not close and name until this evening. The Lincolnshire Handicap Stakes of 10 sovs. each, 5 ft, &c., notwithstanding the addition of 1001., has only a dozen acceptances; of whom Ethelwolf and Merry Bird seem to be as well in as any, although Little Queen, 6 yrs old, has only 6st 71b up; yet there is a marked dif ference in the grade between her and the couple of three yrs old. Alp, 6 3 rs, 7st 71b, also is well in, and ought to travel home in company with the leading horses. In short, HE:lel:veil runs (which is by no means a cer tainty, as he is engaged to-day ot Stourbridge), be will he about winning; tailing him, I shall look to Osborne to produce the winner. The Lincoln Triennial Stakes, should Merry Bird come to the post all right, she will carry off; in tier ab sence the MAIWOF LINCOLN and BARBATA will be first and second. On Wednesday Osborne, in all probability, will take the Revival Stakes by a walk over. For the Brocklesby Stakes, Waterfall ought to fall an easy prey to THE litierEn; yet I give this condition ally, for if he has not recovered from the lameness he g a ve signs of at York he will not do here, and Brawn or Puritan will take the stake. Her Majesty's Plate, the Brownlow and Burleigh Stakes, have not closed as yet, and these stakes bring the meeting to a conclusion. For such a staunch supporter of the turr, Lord Glasgow is one of the unluckiest mortals breathing; for not only has ill success attended him for the last seven or eight years, but now that he seemingly has a chance to win a great stake, to and behold, Mr. fie Stephenson, the nominator of Caracara for the Leger, departs this life, and thereby disqualifies the horse. This must to the more provoking as it is generally reported that, after Caracara's victory at Liverpool, his Lordship deter mined en net starting him for either the Ebel., St. Leger, or Great Yorkshire Stakes, for both of which ho had a fairish chance, but would reserve him entirely for tho " great go" at Doncaster.—l am, Sir, Sec., Aug. 30. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Every person must acknowledge the good sense of your leading article of Saturday, regarding the want of proper respect shown invariably by many of our journals to the head of the French nation. such a reproach can be made without fear by you, for as it is well known all over the country that the principles which actuate you in conducting your paper are liberal, some imagine almost to extreme, you need not dread that your motives will be misinterpreted, and that you will be looked upon as favourable to despotism. If the scurrility of a journal that pretends to lead others, and to instruct the world, were all that the French President and the French people had to complain of; it would he little, for it would deserve merely their contempt; but when that scurrility is merely an agent to produce impressions which are unjust, then it becomes a real and serious cause of complaint, not merely by the French, but by every Englishman who is anxious to maintain friendly relations with one of the most power ful and most useful rations of the world. The injustice of the journal referred to is easily shown by recalling the opinions of' the leading politicians in the last house of Commons, from Lord Palmerston downwards, who concurred in saying that the coup detat of the 2d of December was a necessity ; en unhappy necessity perhaps—but still a necessity—for it put an end to a state of uncertainty in France that could hardly be surpassed—all business was at a stand-still, the people were unemployed, every thing of value was being gradually sent, for greater secarity, to other countries; for the House of Representatives, instead of legislating for the good of France, was split into rival factions, who only combined to neutralize the efforts of any that became for the moment paramount, t is true that Lord Palmerston confessed himself not prepared to approve of the way the coup d'etcre was effected, but he could hardly be prepared to condemn it; for decision, and even severity, under such painful cir cumstances was humanity, checking a resistance which could only have ended in a greater loss of life, and per haps ripened from an Erneute to a civil war. The subse quent acts of Prince Louis Napoleon were necessary to secure the order he had restored—to call them cruel is not only unjust, it is silly; it is as if a man with a mor tified leg, that required amputating, went to his doctor, and then called him a brute for cutting it off. It is a matter of surprise to some how a journal which can regard despotism leniently, and even compla cently, in the north of Europe, is so rabid at the mere secabance of it in the south. Does it dread that the consolidation of power in France will check the progress of Russian influence, which extends already nearly to the Rhine? or would it revive passions in France and England, which happily are every year becomingextinct, to allay the quakings of a few paltry German prinei palities? Away with such short-sighted and dangerous policy ! If the invention of railways makes amalgama tion necessary upon the Continent, let France have her share, but it were a crime to jeopardize the friendly re lations of France and England to protect the interests of a, family, she tild that family be even that of the Queen of Great Britain. The time, happily, no longer exists when en act of the Legislature is possible to restrain the liberty of the press. In the absence of such control it behoves every man who would preserve that liberty which is so necessary, to take care that it does not degenerate to the most unprincipled, unbridled license, and, from being devoted to t h e cause of truth and the interest of the per dople 2 it should servo merely the purposes of a family or the designs of a clique.—Yours, &0., C. W. S. We t bOUrne-grOve• IRELAND. DUBLIN, SIINDAY.—The coroner's jury, sitting in Lime• rick on the body of the seventh man who lost his life in the Six-mile-bridge affray, returned the foll ow i ng verdict yesterday evening find that Michael M o i eny died at Barrington's Hospital, in the city o f Li mer i ck, on the 7th instant, in consequence of a gun-shot wound which he received on the 22d of July last at Six -mile bridge, county Clare; that the said w oun d was conse quent upon the firing by some soldiers who formed part of an escort eupplied from the 31st Regiment under the command of Captain Eager and Lieutenant Hutton, for the purpose of protecting certain vo t ers to the Court-house of Six-mile-bridge, and that while so employed said escort was suddenly assaulted with stones and other missiles; and that John Gleeson (first), Joh n Dwyer, James Postings, James Sharpe, W. Barnes, Thomas Clarke, Corporal Carter, and J. Thompson, ap pear to the jury to have formed part of said escort, and, having admitted that they had fired upon this occasion, we find the said parties guilty of Manslaughter." On e juryman was for finding justifiable homicide and two for wilful murder. Mr. O'Donnell applied to the coroner to issue his war rant. Lieutenant-Colonel Staunton said he would be responsible for the appearance of the soldiers. Tho coroner announced he would admit the soldiers to bail, and would follow the example of the Queen's Bench, by fixing the amount at 201., and two sureties of 101. each, Li,ntenaut-Colonel Douglas, and William Gibson, Esq., J.P., being the bail.— Times.

The report stated, that the tolls for the half-year ending on the 21st of July last amounted to 3,2311.195.2 d., being 3081. Os. 73. less than the receipts for the corres ponding period of the previous year. The rent, interest, and %rangier fees amounted to 84/. Os. 4d., and there was a sum of 125/. duo for the rent of the company's wharf and premises. Although the tolls of the last six months were less than the amount received for the corresponding period of 1851, it would be borne in mind that the Great Exhibition was open duri▪ ng the latter period. A comparison with a like portion of the year 1850 showed an increase of 1131. 7s. 7d. in favour of 1852. Two calls of 10s. each bad been made on the eighth shares, to place the dir ectors in a posi▪ tion to proceed with the approach on the Surrey side, and, the necessary notices having been served on the owners and occupiers of the property required, the directors trusted to commence the works at an early period. The direc tors had been enabled advantageously to employ the money received during the half-year in advance of calls on preference shares by the discharge of a further sum of 2,0801. to the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, in a nticipation of the instalment due December, 1853. The directors recommend a dividend at the rate of three per cent. per annum, or 7s. 6d. on each original share, and a proportionate sum on each eighth share in the company, tree of income-tax. which, after providing for the claims against revenue, would leave a balance of 4831. The report was then agreed to, a dividend at the rate of throe per cent. per annum was declared, and the meeting separated. the general EsShaenNddte°hrßsi:ll.—GLou cky to-day, HER MAJESTY'S VISIT .. r mr T .v H i the final arrangements CESTER, SATURDAY NIGHT. manager to purposeth e M e i Midland la n d Compan y, superintending here for the reception of her Majesty on her r mforanat through Gloucester to Scotland.

Mr. Sanders proceeded on to Bromsgrove in the evening to complete the necessary arrangements there. Her Majesty will arrive at Swindon about a quarter to two o'clock, where she will rest about half an hou r f or l unc heon, and then proceed on to Gloucester, ar riving here at 3.15 r.at.

THE REGISTRATION FOR NORTH LANCASHIRE.-- The Tories have r eso l ved upon a bold effort to regain Nort h Lancashire, but a rath er expensive one. They h av e issaed upwards of 1,300 objections to the Liberals, and as costa are awarded for frivolous ones, it is probable there will be something to pay. A list of subscribers is handing about in which Lord Derby is put down for 5001. and Mr. Wilson Patten for 1001. towards the North Lancashire revision. They have issued wholesale objections also in South Lan cashire. MONDAY EVENING, SUN, LONDON, AMERICAN NEWS. . LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. By the Royal Mail steamship Niagara, Stone, commander, we have advices from New York to the 17th, and Boston to the 18th inst. She has 150,000/. dollars in specie on freight. The Niagara passed the steamship Asia, hence for New York, at 3.30 A.M. On the 22d. The Royal Mail steamship Canada, Lang, com mander, which sailed from this port on the 7th, arrived at Boston on the 18th inst. ; and the United States' Mail steamship Franklin, Wootton, comman der, which sailed from Cowes on the 4th, arrived at New York on the 16th inst. The steamships Illinois and Northern Light had arrived at New York with advices from San Fran cisco to the 16th ult. The former vessel had 1,918,437 dolls. in golddust, and the latter upwards of 150,000 dolls. on freight and in the hands of passengers. The West India Mail steamship Dee was at San Juan. Her Majesty's ship Calypso was off the port of San Juan on the fkth ult., on a cruise. Her officers and crew were all well. Sun Juan was healthy, and the interior perfectly quiet. The market was dull and well supplied with goods. From the Society Islands we have accounts to the 26th of May. The long disputed question regarding the sovereignty of those islands had at length been settled by the recognition of the elder son of Queen Pomare as King of Raiatea, her second son as King of Huallina, and her daughter as Queen of Bolobolo. A. matrimonial alliance was in contemplation between the latter and Prince Kamebameha, of the Sandwich Islands. In the Senate of the 14th the proceedings were unusually interesting, Senator Se ward having deli vered a somewhat novel, and, at the same time, im portant speech, in defence of the administration of the fishery question. It was novel from the fact that it was seemingly an attempt to smooth over the party difficulty between himself and the President; and im portant from the fact that he had previously been in consultation with Mr. Webster and Mr. Crampton, and doubtless spoke under a full knowledge of all the circumstances of the case. He showed that England, so far from having increased her force in the vicinity , of the North American provinces, had actually re duced it by 33 guns during the last twelve months. Speaking cf the condition of the English power in Canada and the British provinces, the Hon. Gentle man said— " They have never, since the war of 1812, had so small a military force in those provinces as now. The Imperal Government has maintained heretofore some show of naval defence upon our lakes; but within the last six months it has broken up the whole naval force there, and now none whatever exists. While thus show ing the supposed motives to peace on the part of Great Britain, I confess that peace is no less the interest and the instinct of our own country. The United States might aggrandize themselves by war, but they are sure to be aggrandized by peace. I thank God that the peace of the world is largely subject to the control of these two great Powers, and that while they have common dispo sitions towards harmony, neither has need of war to establish its character for firmness or for courage. Each has had enough of " ' The camp, the host, the fight, the conqueror's career.' " The news from California is interesting. One of the largest pieces of gold ever brought to San Fran cisco had been found at Viacita, Calaveras County. Its weight is upwards of 201 b., and it was valued at 5,400 dolls. It was found 60 feet below the surface. The mines generally continued to yield well. The waters throughout the country were rapidly falling, Long canals were in progress of construction for con veying water to spots known to be auriferous, but uue productive from the want of it. Multitudes of Chinese continued to arrive at San Francisco, upwards of 4,000 having arrived within the fortnight ending the 16th, They made their way at once to the mines, the hos tility of the miners towards them having, in a great measure, abated. The 4th of July was celebrated in San Francisco with great spirit by a long procession, &c. Conspicuous in the procession was a long line of Chinese, richly dressed, and bearing a huge national banner of crimson silk, on which was emblazoned in golden embroidery the royal dragon. They are said to have expended 12,000 dolls. in getting up their portion of the procession. The news of the nomina tion of Pierce and King had reached San Francisco, and had created much surprise ; the democratic party, however, were highly pleased with the nomina tions, and fired 150 guns from the plaza in honour of the occasion. The parties who had left San Francisco for Queen Charlotte's Island in search of gold have returned without success. They were convinced, however, that gold abounded on the island, as large quantities were seen in the hands of the Indians. The Hudson's Bay Company were working a vein on the island with some success. In San Francisco the utmost order and quiet prevailed; in the interior, however, crime continued to:prevail, and numbers of execu tions by the people had taken place. The crops throughout the whole of California were producing au astonishing yield. A detachment of United States' troops, who were in pursuit of some Indians concerned in the murder of a party of miners on the head waters of the Merced, succeeded in surprising them, killing five, and taking twelve prisoners ; they also destroyed their rancheria and provisions. Another party of United States' troops had also come in con tact with the Indians on Cow Creek, for having stolen 19 mules, and 15 of the Indians were slain. Murders and robberies by the Indians were o f every-day occurrence in the v i c i nity of Canon Creek ; 57 murders, and robberies to the amount of 20,000 dolls., having been committed within a very short time. A duel had taken place between Mr. J. Nugent, the editor of the San Fran.. cisco Herald, and Mr. J. Cotter, alderman of the city, which the former had received a compound fracture thigh, and it was feared amputation wou ld become nece ssar y . Great excitement pre vailed at Marip osa, in consequence of a party of foreigners, prin ci p all y Mexicans, who had been ac ü b r y e of the settled for some time at a place called Mariposita, and had found good diggings, having been ex pelled by a body of Americans, who denied the right r m e e ti r r i e c , ans hay to the number of 300 or 400, and headed by a few Frenchmen, resolved upon defending their d os e possession of the Ameri leaving their claims and property in collected, an they o t p e pr o u f d 2 en °° t to A cans. Shortly after they had retired a meeting w a s ie wed ct held by the Americans, at which it was resolved to expel all foreigners from the district; and the resolu tion was immediately carried into effect. One of the expelled, a Mexican, who had been working a claim for five months, and had erected machinery at a cost of 1,300 dolls., had 'to abandon all to save his life. Many of the gulches in Mariposa were abandoned for want of water. An English company had purchased the Mount Ophir vein, and were about to erect new and extensive machinery upon it. The miners at Carson's Creek, Angels, and San Andreas, were averaging 12 dolls. per day. New and valuable dig gings had been discovered at Soldiers' Gulch, Cala veras County ; and exceedingly rich cayotte diggings on the Middle Fork of the Yuba; shafts had been sunk to the depth of 30 feet, and as much as 115 dolls. had been taken out of a single panfull of the dirt. The Bay State Company, at the Marmaduke-hill diggings, were cutting a tunnel of 500 feet in length through the solid quartz rock. There bad been great morta lity on board the steam-ships S. S. Lewis and Inde pendence, on their passages to San Francisco, 14 persons having died in the former, and 12 in the latter vessel. Their deaths were attributed to their having been tainted during a three weeks' stay at San Juan del Sud, and in consequence of' being left without shelter of any kind during the rainy season. Of the passengers by the Northern Light, from New York, 34 had died-20 from exposure at San Juan del Sud, and 14 on the passage thence to San Fran cisco. It was reported in San Francisco that a fire had broken out in George Town, El Dorado County, and that the principal part of the town had been con sumed. The city of Sonora was fast recovering from the ravages of the late fire. A French, a Spanish, and a German newspaper, bad been established in San Francisco. There was no change in the quotations for money or exchange, the ruling rates having been established previous to the departure of the last steamers. Stocks were quite animated. There was a n increased demand for dry goods, particularly for heavy domestics and choice goods. From Ecuador we have accounts to the 28th ult., being 22 days later. Flores bad been completely defeated in consequence of the steamer Chili having gone over to the enemy with a very considerable part of his force. Having been thus betrayed, General Flores was compelled to cut his way through the enemy with the remnant of his force, and, with great difficulty, reached Tombez, in the territory of Peru. The account of his defeat is thus recorded in the New York papers : " At 11 o'clock on July the 17th the fleet hoisted anchors and set sail for Santa Rosa. It arrived at the mouth of the river at about one o'clock, and anchored there. On the morning of the 18th, at three 0 clock, when all were asleep except the sentries who belonged to Colonel Castleo'a regiment of Lancers, the call to arms was sounded. They all immediately jumped up and armed. Upon mustering on the poop, the cause of alarm could not be discovered, but in about half an hour a sergeant of Colonel Caetleo's Chilians came on deck with 50 men, and asked, Who bad dared to arm themselves?' Captain Owen replied, The Ame ricans had, in obedienc ,, to the call,' as they were always ready for duty, The sergeant then said that the Chilians wa n t e d to avo id a ny quarrel with the Americana or English, but they were determined to got free of the expedition, into which they had been entrapped by false representations; that they had bad no pay for five months,and now determined to pay themselves by taking were the steamer and go in g b ac k to Chili, and that any now on board might ac company them if they wished. They bad at this timo secured all the officers, except Captain Owen, in the ca bin, and disarmed thirty-eight sailors in the forecastle, and the bow-gun was turned aft, pointing at the Ame rican troops. Captain Owen saw that there was no use in fifteen raea contending with them, more particularly as he suspected the sailors to be in league with them, and all co nmunication with General Wright and Ge neral Canier was cut Off. They kept gu:rd upon the captain's cabin, and, forcing the engineer to get up steam, they got away at daybreak, the other ships not haeirg come up. Captain Owen stated his convictions openly to Lieutenant Robbelo and Sergeant Bravo, who had the command of the revolting party, stating that he knew they were not going to Chili but to Guayaquil; and, as they had not interfered with them, they demanded their arms, liberty, and the schooner Mosquito, which was then in tow, and they would take care of them selves. They acknowledged the truth of this, and they said they would give the boat to them. Then Captain Owes pleaded for the officers in the cabin, saying 'it would be brutal to take them to Guayaquil to be mo de:ad.' This they said they would think about. When about five miles out at sea the steamer was stopped, the small boat astern was brought round to the gateway, and all the officers in the cabin ordered up end passed in one by one, the entire force of the armed Chilians standing in line, with their pieces cocked, as each officer appeared. Colonel Castle°, their old com mander, was the last to leave, and they said if he at tempted to remain they would shoot him on the spot. The boat was then let go, and there were in it the of ficers, particularly Generals Wright and Crrier, without clothing, a scrap of paper, or any comfort, but glad to escape with life. Captain Owen, during this scene, was doubtful for the fate of him se lf and his men, as h e did not know if they intended to m ur d er him, or take them to Urliva. The officers again assured him they would allow them to go to Paite, and give them provisions and their arms. In about an hour the Mosquito was ordered to the gangway, and they were p u t a b oard. They steere d , 1 for Yalta, where they arrived on the night of the 14th. Ntxt day the port captain boarded the vessel, and, not finding any paper., ordered all to remain on board, after gime up their arms, until he sent word to the Governor at a distance of fourteen leagues. They were placed on board a small brig called the Jani ent i , f or b etter se curity. There was no news fr om the Governor on the 26th, but the prisoners received an assurance t h a t they would be allowed to land on th e f o ll ow i ng day. The Flores' stereship Leon was s een o ff the harbour at night, and anchored at four o'clock i n t h e morn ing. She was boarded also by the port captain, and 80 stand of muskets taken from her, as sh e did n ot communication,at ten o'clo c k a t n i g ht, made free to t a k e a b oa t wee permitted be tnen who w ere sen t t o stbwor mount moeueegu hot brought a cea n i aio n wpn o tgo n a3 . i vin de se N ow b, o v v, yi se.n , twosHpoaywrotHowever, yn egnar guard the ship, and boarded the Leon, unseen by any of the Frenchmen on shore. Here they were surprised to leant that from confusion, and laxity of discipline among the troops with the fleet, no one would order, nor would any one volunteer, a message to be carried to Flores, and that the news had not reached him yet. They could, however, learn that on the 19th the fleet had arrived at Tombez, and that Flores feared the two steamers would return from Guayaquil with the mutineers and fresh troops and attack him. He, however, hoped that the American and French men-of-war at Guayaquil would not allow the stolen steamer to return, but take posses idol) of her for the owner. An order had been given for the Flores fleet to return to Santa Rosa, and take off the General and his forces thence on their returning to it. The 27th brought no news from the Governor; but the brig Admaranka Blanco came to anchor on the morning of the 28th, and Capt. Owen boarded her and told the officers bow the other vessels bad been treated, upon which Captain Hose swore he would not give up a pin's point to them. General Wright did not say much, and Rosa warned him that if he agreed with the autho rities and ordered him to give up his arms, he would not obey him or any man, except Flores. - Upon the n Germans,o f 350 d e of the enemy, which landed from the rebel steamer at de mand being made he refused, and upon this a ll hi s soldiers and most of his crew left him; however, h e sa id he would stay on board as long as he had tw o 18- pounders, six 24-pound carronades, two 12-pou n d ers, and a model brig of war. Hosts left Flores at T om b ez on the 24th. He bad heard of the loss of his ves se l s and the defalcation of the Chilians, and endeavoured t o conceal it from the remaining troops. They had heard ou it, however, and upon the General's ordering a march a n into,dt Peruvians.et h c accompanied omp interior, an ied T h l h y 2 e s y about wereell i li al a ns t attacked cke refused Americans, y t a o g o , force Ranchela, for it appears that the steamers, with one brig and one brigantine, were ordered to return and destroy his fleet. Under these circumstances, Flores had to cross the Santa Rosa river, the banks of which were lined with Urbina's men, who kept up a heavy fire. 'The Americans were flanking the troops, and, on arriving at the river, Flores ordered the Germans to advance, lent they all faltered except their captain. The Peruvians and remaining Chilians also refused to enter the water, and, on his order ing the cannon to the front, the men disobeyd him. Flores then ran himself, took hold of the cannon, and, assisted by a few officers, brought it to the bank of the river. He then fired it himself. and with effect, as the enemy scattered a little. The General then took off his cap, and placed it upon his sword point, shouting—. All i who wish to follow me, come on(' He then ran into the water, closely followed by the Americans. Generals 1 Valentin and the German captain were each shot in the leg in fording the river. This battle took place on the 22d, and the contending armies fought to the line of Peru—Flores refusing to enter the territory of the Peruvians. The recusant troops came up in the rear, Dud, tan the fire was heavy, they crossed into Peru. Time General asked if twenty true men would stay by him, whereupon Captain Tracey and twenty-five of the American company volunteered, and remained by him on the Ecuador side of the line. Some of the troops in their flight had reached Tombez, and the authorities came out to meet Flores, and advised him to cross the line, pile his arms, and then he might enter the town. Flores was forced to consent, and on reaching the hacienda he gave up 140 stand of arms, the rest having been lost by the killed, wounded, and deserting soldiery. Flores had thus marched on foot 60 leagues in three days. On the 29th of July Rosa was allowed to land at Faits, for provisions and water. On the 30th Captain Owen had dispatches from Flores, stating that he intended to re main at the hacienda for a few days, but he gave no in timation of his future plans or intentions. Upon that eve ning, Major Bell and Captain Owen left by the steamer for Panama, after many hardships and hair breadth escapes." Private letters from Paita, under date the 3 1 St of July, state that when intelligence reached that city containing the information that vessels had l e ft the United States for the Lobos Islands to collect guano, the prefect of the department of Del Norte, resi ding in Piurn, ordered the garrison at the islands to be reinforced, and opposition made to all attempts to take guano without the consent of Peru. Advices from Costa Rica to the 17th ult. announce that Mr. Walsh, American diplomatic agent, and Mr. Wyke, British Consul-General in Central Ame rica, had left San Joseph for Nicaragua, having completed their mission in C osta Rica. The mis sion was to procure the assent of to the Costa Rica treaty recently made at Washington between Messrs' Webster and Crampton, and has, probably, Proved successful. From Panama we have advices to the Ist instant. The cholera was fast disappearing from the Isthmus. The existence of extensive and rich gold mines on the Isthmus has been placed beyond doubt, large quanti ties ties have been sent from Choco t o P anama and j'a rope.

On Saturday a casualty of an alarming character oc curred on the No r th Kent line, between ravesend and persons are aware that some years Rochester. ago a project Many e w d a w s acarried into effect for uniting the y by a canal leading from Rochester tlo.hGamraeaseasieled:landin order to accomplish this object it necessary to cut a tunnel, two miles and a was found through the immense chalk hills ex quarter in h . tending from Frindsbury to Iligham. Between Stroud and Ilightuni a t about cne mile and a half from t he S trood 'atiou a shaft of great depth was sunk from . above, and " that barges proceeding in onedirec tionat this spot it was side in order to allow cal in in drew on one an opposite course topass, the bargemen ca ling this the " lay-by." Since the subterranean passage has been con verted into a line - i ;,,. of railway this portion of the canal has been filled in, but the shaft still remains open, and supplies gleam' of light to persona passing through the tunnel . It is at this point that the oc currence to be described took place. On Saturday about noon masse s of heavy clouds were ob served collecting over the v environs of Rochester and y storm. Shortly, some large Strood, portending a hea dr,,ps of rain fell, followed soon afterwards by a heavy shower; but towards theou per part of Strood the rain fell in torrents, and at the same time a heavy cloud was adjacent hills, so low as a observed hanging over the ap parently to reach the gro.undb,joyand so dense was its ond was completely hid peaeance that every object _ id to nave been a water from view. This cloud spout, fell upon the spot w'h l ere the shaft above-named is situated, and formed a torrent, which and sweeping with it w hi c h carried with it chalk, some stubble from the field everything that came within reach. The force of the ma sses, which broke the s tream carried with it heavy wires of the electric telegraph% and led to the apprehen sion that some serious accident bad occurred. The mid day train from London , having a bout four hundred pas sengers, sengers, hat proceeded as fa w hen the tickets having beenr collected the Higham station, it proceeded on its course towards Strood. On nearing the lay-by, at a distance of about three-quart ers of a mile from the Higham station, the engine-driver became alarmed et hearing a rush of water down the shaft, which he could only compare to the torrent of a mill-stream. Providentially he had time to stop the engine, for had the train continued its course the result it is fearful to contemplate, the flood having swept down not only a very considerable quantity of chalk, but a large portion of the brickwork of the tunnel also, thus entirely blocking up both lines. The alarm of the pas sengers may be imagined when they observed the rash of water—the electric telegraph wires torn down, together with the continued falling of the chalk, and still un abated flood which was passing them. No time was lost in reversing the engine, and having by this means re gained the Higham station, the train was shunted on to the up line, and so returned to Gravesend, where convey ances were placed at the disposal of the passengers to convoy them to Rochester. When the train became over due at Strood, the station master, Mr. Small, finding the telegraph communication stopped, of course apprehended that some casualty had happened, and at once dispatched one of the servants with a signal-lamp, to ascertain, if possible, what had occurred, and he soon returned and expressed an opinion that the train was in the tunnel. Plate-layers are at all times in the tunnel, and a party of them, on hearing the rush of water, attempted to cross the lay-by, and thus make their way to Higham; but the torrent was such that they found that to be impossible, and were driven to the al ternative of pushing for the Strood terminus, which they fortunately reached in safety. Two platelayers at the High= end of the tunnel narrowly escaped with their lives. Whilst engaged in cutting a dyke to effect a di vergence of the current, one of them observed some loose chalk giving way from the cliff above them, and had but just time to communicate the danger to his compa nion when an immense mass fell on the very spot where but a moment before they were both at work. The in spector of the line having arrived attempted to make his way through the tunnel,in order to ascertain the extent of the mischief, but in this he failed, the water still flow ing throughout the entire length of the tunnel eke a small rivulet. Telegraphic communication between Strood and London having thus been cut off, messenger was dispatched to Gravesend, where the circumstances connected with the casualty were forwarded to head-quarters, and a large body of labourers being mustered, accompanied by the super intendent of the line, together with the deputy locomo tive superintendent, proceeded by special train to the Isy-by, and, between five and six o'clock, commenced clearing away the obstruction. The engineer of the line also came down with a view to inspect the works, when it was at onee decided that the running of trains between Strood and Higham should be discontinued, and the business of the Strood station has accordingly been, for the present, transferred to Higham. The labourers con tinued their work throughout the whole of the night on Saturday, and no time will be lost in order that the line may be opened again as speedily as possible. The one o'clock up-train from Strood must have had a very narrow escape. and could not have reached Gravesend when the casualty occurred. In the neighbourhood of Llighana the fields were flooded to a considerable extent, and a doubt has been expressed to an eye-witness whether any man could have maintained his atandiug during the fall of water had he been exposed to it. THE THREE POACHERS of WORKINGTON. Odious in themselves, the Game-laws are rendered doubly so by any harsh administration; and ono would suppose that magistrates would be especially cautious in applying those laws to very young people. On these grounds we can hardly believe a story which has been sent to us by a correspondent; not because it comes to us without the tokens of an honest narrative, but be cause the fact stated seems to be nearly impossible. One evening, but while it was still daylight, during the late warm weather, Joseph Nichol, Richard Sander son, and Richard Hetherington, were seen in a mill-race near Carlisle, dabbling in the water, turning the stones, and endeavouring to catch fish; boyishly trespassing. On the following day they were summoned before the Workington magistrates, and charged with breaking the Game-laws. They told no lie, but admitted the facts alleged, and pleaded "guilty." Our correspoadent says, " they were too honest to tell a lie, as they would have been to steal a farthing." Those formidable statutes, the Game-laws, were not explained to the lads, with a re primand, and a remand home; but the culprits were sentenced to one months' imprisonment in the county goal. Now what are the ages of these dreadful offenders? Hetherington is thirteen years old, Sanderson twelve, and Nichol eleven! " These same magistrates," say s our correspondent, " are parents—talk of the veins of Sunday schools and ragged schools, and have abundance of opportunities of witnessing the progress of juvenile offenders when they have once entered the great semi nary of vice." By what right then did they consign these young boys to ruin? It would not have been so if the lads had been young gentlemen :* they would thenhave been " pulled through." The game-laws are odious; not so much because they are logically inconsistent with the principles of law, but because, from the nature of things they must always operate as class laws, oppressing the poor. Plebeian' , writes our correspondent, with a just expression of the t general feeling, " must be taught that fishes that W i f e wildly in God's water—the fleet hare that s kims the moors—and the wild bird th a t own s no domain ;secure air—are for aristocratic palates only. these to themselves, and the land, to the aen family of the commons, is it not mercy to the hemtbe air for that they can devise no statute to bottle even When °enclosure ep feeling their exclusive use?" Such is the general them enforced against the laws; but when fat h ers ssee breach men pro against their young sons—when e y a tected by the Game-laws reveng in g e of their ised dangerous, even privileg© by consigning mere chiiidergen to the school a life's ruin, are not the feelings ra to more of this case.—The Th.society, as it is ruled by such magistrates!

Their Royat Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Alsry visited her Majevy in the after n oon, and remained to witness the rural sports. . - A large tent was erected on the htwn near the house, ornamented with laurels and flags, in which were laid tables for the dinner, extending the whole length. On one side the Royal marquee was pitched for the use of tne Queen and the Royal Family, in the front of which three tlAg poles were crewed for the Roy a l (lard, end the stenclards of his Royal Hig,huess Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales. The whole or the e yachts were a,wen uud marines from the Iwrty d a before thre e o'clock, 7 0 se marched CO th e R o y a l kit c h en , end, together with her Majestya servant s , precethd by the bands o f the Royal IsLirine s an d 88th Regiment, play i ng "The Roast Be of Old Eitgland," carried the eatables to the tent in l:pre cession, h er M a j esty, his Royal Higbirss Prince A bert, with the whole of the Royal children, standing in front of the house to see them pasa by.

After dinner her Majesty's health, and those of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family, baying been drank, the sports commenced by a country dance, foot races for prizes, and different p, , sines and dances were carried on with great spirit, her Majesty and the Royal Family witnessing them trom the marquee. Soon after seven o'clock her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert retired, the bands again playing " God rave the Queen." The royal dinner party yesterday included the Earl of Ilchester, Lady Caroline Barrington, Baroness Sped], and Captain Crisrin, R.N. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. On Saturday, the last night of the subscription, the prologue to Lucrezia Borgia was given, succeeded by the opera of Ernani. The first of these performances was the great attraction of the evening, notwithstanding that we had two nearly new singers in the second. Per, haps never was a leading operatic artist so well fitted with a part as is Grisi with Lucrezis. When one is not actually hearing and seeing her terrible Norma, the im pression remains that Luctezia is her best character, and that impression fades only while that stormy Druidess is pouring out her wrath and her woes. At other times, the Borgia is the part which identifies itself with the re collection of La Diva. The announcement of even so limited a portion of the opera as was giveu on Saturday caused the house to fill before the curtain rose. Both Grisi aid Mario were in splendid voice, and took their leave of the subscribers in strict adherence with the so cial rule that a last impression should be agoodone. The insulting chorus was superbly executed, and it was one of the great sights of art to behold the proud and raging woman vainly struggling against the accumulated storm. The curtain fell, and the loudest plaudits called the two great artists to receive the valedictory volley of greet ings, which the flushed and smilieg prima donna ac knowledged with her best graciousness. Ernani was got np, we presume, chiefly to enable Signor Negrini to vintitistce his continental reputation on his second an• pearance. The tremendous power of Signor Negrini's lungs was certainly displayed on Saturday in a marvel lous way, and we could not help feeling that he was in that respect precisely the artist to deal with the vigorous music of Verdi. The honours of the night, however, were seized by Angelina Bosio, who acquitted herself admirably. Her Elvira is a thoroughly artistic per formance, and well worthy of the boards on which it was given. She warbled the aria d'intrata (with the chorus of ladies who congratulate her on her mar riage), " M'a sluice it veto ingenue," so charm• ingly—the sentiment being adhered to without damage to the brilliancy of the air—that the house broke into loud universal plaudits, which came down even more heartily at the end of the second verse. Ease and finish marked the whole feat. And after doing ample justice to the intermediate music, she gave her share of the great duet, " Fino al sospiro," towards the close, and the terrible finale, with true ar tistic fire and meaning. Angelina Bosio has succeeded in leaving an impression which this public will not be sorry to renew another season. The opera was in all . other respects more than satisfactorily performed, an' its thoroughly dramatic music, as usual, laid firm hold upon the attention of the house. The usual " musical honours" were awarded. The season is over. But to . night and the two following nights there will be per , formances at reduced prices, and then the theatre will, . we are apprised, finally close. The Prophete, Pietro, , and Les Liuguenots aro the three announcements. SADLER S W E LLS THEATRE. This well-conducted little theatre was re-opened for the season on Saturday night, under the continued•ma nagement of Messrs. Phelps and Greenwood. The house has undergone a thorough cleansing during the recess, and the hand of the decorator is visible in the renova tions to which the boxe s and ceiling have been subjected. The company chosen for the ensuing ca mpaign a ppears to be of the same professional calibre as it has hitherto been. A uniform respectability is observable; and the frequenters of the house may consevently look for a series of representations characterised , as before, by con siderable histrionic merit, genera l rather than individual. This it has hitherto been the object of Mr. Phelps to secure, and the performances at Sadler's Wells have consequently been remarkable for that kind of excellence which, if it does not surprise abysm at leastormanc claims re- on spect. The play which was selectt d for e p erf World. Mr. Saturday night was The Man of the Phelps,whose embodiment of Sir PertiIIIIX Macsycophant is replete with ability, was received with loud and en thusiastic cheers. He was support ed by Mr. H. Marston, Mr. Barrett, Mr. Mellon, Miss Cooper, Mrs. H. Marston, and other artists, who have long been reputably known as members of the establishment. LIVERPOOL ROYAL AMPULTJIEATRE. The engagement of Madame Celeste and that refined comedian Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket, has been in all points of view satisfactory. These distinguished artists have been received with the favour justly merited; and none can have been disappointed who went to the theatre prepared for the style of pieces in which Madame Celeste has been long facile princeps. It may not be that style which to us is most agreeable, but we aro bound to say the work has been well done, and there is greatness for an artiste even in melodrama. Mind Your Own Business, a comedy which has won a somewhat unexpected local celebrity, through a curious trial in the Nisi Prius Court, was produced for the first time on Friday. Engagements prevented our seeing more than the opening, but with Mr. Webster in his ori ginal character of Mr. Verdon, Madame Celeste a s Fanny Morrison, Mr. Baker as Mr. Smythe the toot man (who in his marriage bartered riches for con nexions), and Mr. F. Younge as Mr. Oddiman, it must be a great treat. We observe that the piece is to be re peated to-night. The leading plot is simple in the extreme.

But Nina Flora, the wife of Ajax, who might be a figurante, is touched by the display of parental love in the midst of all this suffering, and obtains the timely aid ere it is too late to save a child perishing for want. Then comes the interview with the Chevalier de Rolac , (Mr. R. Younge) with its stirring action, the confession of the place whither Madeleine had been borne, and the forcible delivery ef the documents. All this is powerfully written, and excellently acted; and, as we have already said, is sufficient to establish Mr. Webster's reputation. We write, be it observed, not as favouring melodrama, but simply as testifying to the excellence of the acting in melodrama.—Liverpool Courier. of --- - - - -- --- NEW MODE or PLANTING APPLE TREES.—A hor ticulturist in Bohemia has a beautiful pl antat i on of the best apple-trees, which have neither sprung from seeds nor graft ing.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. The ordinary half -yearly meeting of this railway com pany was held on F ri d ay at the board room of the Pad dinrigtonstation station; Mr. Talbot, a was lbot re chairman of the board of directors in the chair.,yfotrheGslaecntroertga The following report Secretary:— e, " The directors have the pleasure to report, that th• revenue receipts, during th e past half-year, indicate year, a steany progress in the traffic, as compared re ceipts for the correspondi ng year. with the -Ex credited for the conveya nce of mails,l Exclusive of the sum they amount, during the half-year e ndi ng th e 30th of Jnne, 1852, to 3811. per mile—as compared with 2884 per the corresponding period of 1851. A sum of mile during 10,0601. was assumed in the statement of accounts for the half year ending the 31st of December, as a portion of a claim upon the Post-office authorities not thetli finally ascertained; the arbitrator to whom reference was made awarded about 11,8001. for the services performed a up to that period—a lesser sum than was expected by your directors, but to which they immediately assented. They conceive that theyhave now just cause to complain that after having performed an onerous and expensive service in the moaner required by the Postmaster- General for nearly two years, without receiving any remuneration for it, an intimatiou should have been con veyed to them of the intention of the Post -office to question the validity of the award. It is with great satisfaction that your directors are enabled to announce to you that a line of rail woy has been completed across the River Wye at Chep stow, and is now open for traffic, thereby perfecting a contieuous communication from London to Swansea. By the completion of this communication the lease of the South Wales Railway - to the Great Western Cempauy cemes into operation, and the rent of 30,5001. a year, Payable ureter that lease in respect to the line between Grange Court aud Swansea, commenced on the 191 i July last. Upon the completion of the line to Cermar tileil, that rent will be inereasei to 36 5001. per annum. Every effort is being made by the committee having the menagetuent of the traffic of your railway, in conjunction with the Great Western Company, to develope the mi neral and other traffic of the country, and your directors have no doubt that tee great advantages of this railway will soon be made apparent. The branch to join the Western Valleys Railway at Newport has been opined for traffic. The improvements in the Forest of Dean Railway, authorised by the South Wales Railway New Works' Act, 1851,' have been commenced, and are now iii active progress. Between Swansea and Carmarthen the works have been rapidly proceeded with, and your directors have every reason to believe that that portion of the railway may De opened for traffic by the middle of the ensuing month. Impressed with the convietioa ;ht the early opening of the line to Milford Haven is of great importance both the pro prietors and the public, and believing that that improved position in which the company will be placed by the completion of a continuous line from London to Carmarthen will justify such a proceeding, your direc tors have given instructions that the works between Carmarthen and Haverfordwest should be prosecuted with increased rapidity. Under the provisions of the bill approved by the proprietors on the 30th April last, which has since become law, the company is auteorised to make arrangements for the intercherge of traffic with the T, , ff Yak R a il way C ompany, w i t h t h e Monmouth shire Railway and Canal Company, and with the New port Dock Company. power is also given to construct a railway from vest Haverford ? to Miltord Haven, and the portion o f t h e line au t horised by the booth Wales Railway A ct , 1 845, extendingl from Fishguard to the point of div ergence of the verfordwest branch, be comes abandoned. The directors have well considered the propriety o f p ay i ng a dividend l for the past half year, out of the funds usually but the non-paym ent by they applicabl e to that purpose; due to this company un d er the award - ma e d of the amount made of the con veyance of mails by the umpire appointed, ether the intimation given that i t i s t h e intentiontog of with the Post master-General to question the legal accuracy of that award, involving a sum of upwards of 17,0004 , has duced them to advise the proprietors not to declare dividend for the past half - year, but to reserve their re sources for a future occasion." ENGINEER'S RETORT. " 18, Duke-street, Westminster, July 29. " Gentlemen,-1 have the pleasure of reporting the opening, on the 19th inst., of one line of rails over the Chepstow Bridge, and that considerable progress has been made with the other roadway, so that we may ex pect to float the second tube in the middle of September. The works and permanent way between Swansea and Carmarthen are making rapid progress, and there can be little doubt of opening the railway between those places by the second week in September. The machinery of the coal drops at Swansea is being fixed, aud one drop is nearly completed. A temporary apparatus was put up some time ago, and several thousand tons of coal have been shipped. Below Carmarthen the works are pro gressing, and steps are being taken for setting out the extension of the Haverfordwest branch to Milford Haven, for which an Act was obtained in the last session. The improvements in the Forest of Dean Railway have been commenced. A row station has been opened at Gat combe, between Neweham and Lydraey. The junction with the Western Valleys Railway at Newport is nearly completed. All the works between Grange Court and Swansea are in good order. At Gloucester the new sta tion is nearly completed, and considerable progress has been made with the dock there by the Gloucester and - DallForost Railway Company. " I am, gentlemen, e our obedient servant, " I. K. 13MT/11EL." From the statement of accounts it appeared that the net earnings for the half-year, exclusive of the sum in dispute with the Post-office, amounted to 22,3421. 13s. 7d. The CHAIRMAN regretted it had fallen to bis lot to ask them to assent to a report which told them that they were not to have a dividend. He hoped this would be the last time such a thing would happen, but there were several reasons for doing so. The first was the extraordinary defalcation, he could call it of the Post-office, who, after a reference ' given against them, refused to abide by the a ward. h e A lgn eis ao P RIETOR—Did they agree to the reference ? hn: The CHAIRMAN—The reference was entirely of their own making and arrangement, and he feared it was a continuous system, for he was told by the Great ' Western directors that they had been carrying the mails for the past three years for nothing, the Post office having for the third time disputed their award. Another reason was that their line, though naturally a cheap one,was worked at a eery high rate, because having no roiling stock of their own, they were obliged to work it with the Great Western engines, for which they were charged 10 per cent., with the burden of keeping them in repair; and as most of the stock they had was old, the repairs were very heavy. A new ar rangement was about to be entered info, which would be much more favourable for the South Wales. Then the Chepstow bridge was nearly finished, which would add a considerable amount to their traffic, and from the completion of their line the rent from the Great Western would be increased. For all these reasons. the directors thought it would be better to postpone a dividend till another half year. He would now say a single word upon the competing lines that bad been talked of. A railway from Shrewsbury to Aberyst with would not be • line with feeth.r to their line, by bringing a a competing th e South Wales at all. On the contrar ' y 7 I t would be a gr eat nt of emou tie& from Manchester and the manufacturingtheefore dis tricts upon the South Wales line.
