The great English racing carnival for the year 1867 commenced yesterday with very unfortunate weather, and thousands Itugured a continuation of the rain, at all events, to-day ; but, fortunately, appearances early in the morning favoured a differ ent conclusion. Last night a fine drying wind sprung up, and the Derby Day gave promise to be one of bright sunshine, and thus the hopes of the holiday-seekers rose proportionately high. The visi tors to Epsom by rail and road were early astir, the morning trains by the South-Western and London and Brighton taking away thousands for the glorious Downs at Epsom. The " roadsters" were not deterred by the fear of a wet day, as the usual scene of bustle, practical joking, and confusion occurred at the Elephant and Castle caused by the unusual early arrival of vehicles of all descriptions. There was the aristocratic four-in-hand, the elegant open barouche, with the capacious hamper slung beneath it, charged with chicken, lobster, salad, and champagne almost to bursting ; the trap of the well to-do member of the trading community, containing driver, wife, and family, and the plebeian pleasure van, with more than its usual number of passen gers. The dangers of " The Elephant" having been successfully encountered, the travellers pro ceeded on their route in the best possible spirits, despite a sharp shower of rain which fell about half past ten. It fortunately was not of long duration, for a few minutes after the sun shone out again, and, as a natural consequence, up again went the spirits of the elated holiday-makers. Along the Ken nington-road a number of persons assembled to view the interesting and apparently endless string of vehicles, and as the more suburban places were reached a large number of the residents viewed the animated cortege from the windows and the neatly trimmed gardens in front of the houses. Altogether the scene was of the usual description, and, despite the facilities offered by the railways, the number " going by road" seemed to be as great as usual. The stations of the London and South Western, the London and Brighton, and the South-Eastern, b ern y , d atl - V brg a i t d er e lo , o, Charing-cross, Victoria, and Lon on of course, were all besieged , d • but the admirable arrangements made the vast number of passengers were all accommodated with compa ratively little difficulty. HIE REFORM BILL. BIRMINGHAM, Tuesday Night. A meeting of the Liberal Association of this town was held here to-night ; Mr. Thomas Lloyd in the chair. Mr. Alderman lIAwEs moved the following re solution :—" That this association records with proud satisfaction i,ike triumphant result of the labours of the Liberal party in amending the Go vernment measure of Reform by settling the borough franchise on the basis of household and lodger suffrage, divested of the trammels as to compound rates and two years' residence, and free from the pernicious consequences of the dual vote, as origi nally embodied in the Ministerial measure." In moving the foregoing, Mr. HAWKS congra tulated the meeting that the bill, as it stood in re lation to the borough franchise, was more liberal in its character than had been contemplated by Mr. Bright, and was positively revolutionary as com pared with the bill of 1832 —it would raise the con stituency of Birmingham from 15,000 to 50,000. Mr. RADFORD, chairman of the Reform League, seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. the late Dowager-Countess of Camperdown. The lamented countess, who had reached a ripe age, was daughter of the late Sir Hew Dalrymple Hamilton, Bart., and married, Jan. 8, 1805, Robert Dundas Duncin Haldane, Viscount Luncan, after wards first Earl of Camperdown, who died in 1859. , The countess was mother of Adam, second earl, who died on the 30th of January of the present year, and was consequently grandmother of the present peer. Scotch society, and especially the Scot in London has sustained a deep loss by her death. She was a remarkable specimen of that type of the Scottish lady which is now passing away. In her younger days, when mingling much in society, she was conspicuous for a graceful and elegant nobleness of character and manner ; and Scotch in all her feelings, she delighted in the use of what with her was a beautiful language, and what in her earlier years was in habitual use by persons of education and fashion. Her house in London was a " trysting place" for all who once had the honour of an introduction ; and there at all times of the day might be found many of those who are supposed to give a tone and temper to the upper ranks of society, and who, bringing their news to the happy old countess, went away amply rewarded by the anecdotes and recol lections which her never-failing memory poured forth. Whig or Tory, rich or poor, found alike a ready welcome ; and her poor and needy country men well knew the way to Wilton-crescent, feel ing well assured that there was a benevolent heart ready to sympathise with all his sorrows and all his wants. Some few years since she purchased - the beau tiful villa of St. Anne's, at North Berwick, trans porting to her humbler neighbours there all that kind liness of manner which bad gained for her the love of a widespread world of rank and fashion. Thus, pass ing part of the year in Scotland, and the remainder in England, her ladyship spent an amiable, happy, blameless life, connecting the present with the past in sympathy and affection, and leaving to loving friends the bright example of a gentle, cheerful, and unselfish life, beautifully reflected in the graceful and devoted affection with which she was filially attended.—Scotsman. TIIE STEAMER SIR WILLIAM PEEL.—A telegram received from New York, via the Atlantic Cable, was posted yesterday afternoon at Lloyd's Underwriting Room, an nouncing. that the Supreme Court at Now Orleans had decreed "that the British steamer Sir William Peel, cap tured by the United States' cruisers during the war with the South i❑ 1863, be rc,stored, with the cargo, to her owners." The steamer in question was built at Northileet in 1865, and' in 1863 became the property of Mr. T. A Corry and Mr. R. Laycock, merchants, in Manchester, who despatched her from London for Liverpool, whence she sailed for Meta moms on the 4th of May, 1863, with an assorted cargo of merchandise. The cargo was owned by Messrs. A. and S. Henry and Co., merchants, and consigned to Messrs. Miluio and Co., at Matamoras, for sale. This steamer arrived out on the 13th of June, the cargo was landed except two casks containing iron rings and some railway axles, and a fresh cargo was being shipped—namely, about9o4 bales of cotton, when she was captured by the United States' commissioned vessel of war Seminole, Captain Rolando commanding,who ordered the Sir William Peel to New Orleans for adjudi cation. It wag clearly estallished that at the time of the capture she was lying at anchor in Mexican neutral waters. The Sir William Peel was insured at Lloyd's, and the underwriters Bottled with tho owners as a total loss, rUEFEIMINRIE Stilt HiGh North Eastern, York, 11. and Solby purchase, South Eastern ('Wading At.ns., £1.0,6). 21 tIiKIERENCE &HARES AND STOCKS.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET. ROBBING A MEMBER. OF PARLIAMENT.—Thomas Clever house, formerly in the service of Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P. for Lambeth, was charged helot() Mr. Mansfield with stealing some forks, the property of Mr. Hughes. Sergeant Cole, of the 0 division, said that seeing the prisoner coming out of the shop of Mr. Meihuish, pawn broker, of Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, and in conse quence of what Mr. Meßanish informed him, he stopped the prisoner and asked him what ho had pledged. Ho replied, " Nothing." He then told the prisoner that he had been to the pawnbroker's with four forks, and the prisoner then produced the forks, and said, "these are the forks!' On asking the prisoner how he got them, be said he bought them in the country two year ago, but where or of whom ho did not know, but he gave 10s. or 12s. for them. He told the prisoner that he did not believe him, and he then began crying, and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I took them from Mr. Hughes; they were four forks not in the plate list. All the other plate is right I know. How I came to take them I cannot tell ; but I owed some money at the time." On searching the prisoner at the station he found a pocket-book containing some duplicates; and in a box he had left at a house in Shouldham-streot, Marylebone, ho found a few trifling articles which had been missed by Mrs. Hughes. Mr. Thomas Hughes, of No. 33, Park-street, Grosvenor square, said the forks produced were similar to some he once had. He had had a largo plate robbery at his house three years ago, and a few forks were lelt of the same pat tern as those produced. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Mansfield committed the prisoner for six months with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. "FILIAL REGARD."—RoVerTioies, carpenter and joiner, was charged with assaulting and threatening his father. Complainant said that his son lived with him at 15, Brewer-street, Pimlico, and he had recently kept him while out of work for six weeks, for which he had made a very ungrateful return. Ho at last got defendant a job in Regent-street, but he would not go to his work. He was out all night, and could not go to work in the morn ing. Yesterday at dinner time the defendant found fault with some meat which had been cooked for him, and slapped it in complainant's face. He left home, and when he returned to his tea his son re-commenced his miscon duct, and was becoming very violent with another parson when complainant interfered to restore order, and then defendant struck him a violent blow on the eye, and threatened to have his life. He said he would have his liver out. Mr. Selfe (to defendant)—Would you like to ask your father anything? Defendant—lt's no use', he's such a fearful liar. Yes, 1 will ask him a question. Did you not hit me first ? Complainant—No, I did not. Defendant—You aro a liar. Mr. Selfe—l will not have such behaviour here. Be have with decency if you can, sir. You have no business to use such language to your father, especially here. Defendant went into a long story about family matters, complaining of what he had to put up with at home, and said his father struck him first. Mr. Selfe told him he had no business at home at his time of life, and all the things he had said were additional reasons why he should leave it. Mr. Sella said he would not deal with the assault, but would take care he kept the peace for three mouths to come. He was ordered to find bail for that time. BOMBAY MAIL.

Of course there is A Sdd Want tit food, greater even than was anticipated in some clistrictsj but steamers Are tingly employed in 6ariting rit4o front the Burnish ports to the opposite coast, and strentidns eftotts ate being made to avoid the errors and shortcomings of last year, It is beginning to be confessed that the task of saving the people of Grissa is a most ungrateful one for every effort in their favour is made the harder by their own apathy and obstinate laziness, and by the unfeeling and unheard-of selfishness of their landlords. The people seem to imagine that the Government are bound to relieve them of all care of themselves, and even when this is toneedcd, they 6COIII to think this care must follow each man into his own home, and even lay up for him a store against the future. With such a population the work of relief becomes an anxious burden of no ordinary character. In other parts of Bengal the crops seem to promise safety from downright famine, although the stock'of food in several districts will barely suffice to carry the inhabitants over to the next harvest. From Cabul we have no news of any importance. On the reshawur frontier a cloud arose, which, 4pwever, has passed away.

THE EX7ENSIVE FORGERIES IN FRAUD OF 7HE LATE LEEDS BANKING COM PANY. Yesterday Edward Devillers, the Frenchman charged with forging divers bills of exchange to the amount of £120,000, with intent to defraud the late Leeds Banking Company, was brought up in cus tody on remand for further examination before the Lord Mayor. Mr. PolaUd (instructed by Messrs. Freshfield) again attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Messrs. Parker, Lee, and Haddock) appeared for the prisoner. The court was again crowded, and the proceedings commenced by Mr. Edward Greenland, the ex-manager of the Leeds Banking Coin pany, bjng recal:ed as a witnesi. Mr. Greenland, as before, was brought up in cm tody from Newgatc by Mr. Kean, the governor of the Leeds gaol. Mr. Greenland, in answer to questions put, stated that he never discounted any bills for the Maydem peck Forest Company except for Edgley, Teak, and Co., and he had no - security for any of these bills. They were all drawn in favour of Teale, Edgiey, and Co. All the bills purported to be ac cepted for the Maydempeck Forest Company. He was not at all aware that the bills were all drawn in London at the offices of Teale and Co., and that they were in the handwriting of the clerks of that firm. lie was told that some of the bills were signed by Dinelli, the former secretary of the com pany. When the account was opened with the Leeds Bank both Edgley and Teale signed their banker's book. Mr. Greenland was subjected to a long cross examination, but the principal material points that appeared to be elicited were that the wit ness had no recollection of any concession relating to the Maydempeck Trust Com pany having been lodged with the bank as collateral security before the bills he referred to were dis counted for Edgley. He also stated that the Leeds Bank had discounted bills for Edglcy, Teale, and Co., before the subject of the Maydempeck Forest Company was mentioned. Mr. Dresser was then recalled, and he stated that he went to Servia to make some inquiries respecting the supposed Maydempeck Forest Company, and he could not find that any such company was known at Maydempeck. There was a very large forest occupying several leagues in extent, but there would be great difficulty in conveying timber to England on account of the distance of the forest from the banks of the Danube. Mr. Edward Henry Watts was then called and examined by Mr. Poland. The witness deposed that he was staying at the Norfolk Hotel, but his family were residing in Somersetshire, At the age of 15 he went into the mercantile marine service, and served in the employment of the Royal West India mail packets until the year 1858, when he left it. After that he went into a mer chant's office, where he remained two or three months ; and last he was introduced to Edgley in June or July, 1858, by a fellow lodger of his (wit ness's), at a house in Frederick-street, Gray's-inn lane. At that time Edgley had offices in Sise-lane, City. At that time he knew nothing of business, but went into Edgley's office to learn, and was thae without salary. After that Edgley was about to open the warehouse'in Sermon-lane, St. Paul's churchyard, and it was arranged that he should go there, and he did so, attending everyday for five or six months without salary. At the latter end of 1858 he went into partnership with Edgley as woollen and silk warehousemen in Sermon-lane, under the firm of Thomas Edgley and Co., his (wit ness's) father, who is a clergyman in the country, putting into the concern £BOO for him: He (wit ness) was to have one-fourth of the profit of the concern. ,After this—namely, in 1862—the firm of E. H. Watts and Co. was established in Leeds by Edgley. Of this he knew nothing until after it was established, when Edgley told him to go down to Leeds and sign the book at the bankers in the usual way on an account being opened. He (witnes.o had nothing to do with the management of the concern at Leeds, which was first conducted by a pJrson named Hall, and, after his death, by a young man named Bryson. He could not remember when he first saw anything of the Maydempeck Forest Company's bills, but he did remember seeing Van 011, ff send time in ie z. Edgley was always telling him what a wonderful place Maydempeck was, full of timber, besides mineral products. He first saw the Forest bills in Sermon-lane, and by direction of Edgley he endorsed several of them, under the firm of E. H. Watts and Co. Nothing was said about the bills being made payable to that firm, but. he understood that the bills were for money sent to pay the labourers employed in felling the timber at Mayderupeck. Before he (witness) joined Edgley he did not think that he had ever seen a bill of ex change. Edgley had told him that he had a con cession of the forest from Van Clieff, which he bad handed over to the Leeds . Banking Company, who were to advance money for carrying on the works. Witness had no particular department in the business in Sermon-lane, except that he was to do what he was told. (A laugh.) In the first year he drew out of the concern between £3OO and £4OO, and in the latter years between £6OO and £7OO per annum. When the Leeds Bank stopped in 1864 the firm of Watts and Co. stopped also, and that of Edgley and Co. went on under a deed of inspection, as he was told it was called. After that W. &rant joined the concern, and the firm in Sermon-lane was changed to Edgley, Watts, and Grant. When he endorsed the bills drawn in the name of E. Devillers, Edgley used to say he was going to send Devillers out to Servia, to look after the business which was being mismanaged. He first saw the prisoner some time in 1862, at the park beyond Tottenham, where Edgley lived, and he afterwards saw him at Cowes, where he was taken by Edgley to pass from the Saturday to Monday there. That was in the year 1864. Wit ness left Edgley in September last, and received from hint to go out of the firm two acceptances, amounting to £450, one of which had been dis honoured, and the other was not yet due. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—ln January last year I was staying at Oaklands, where I had a house, but did not refrain from going to the Bankruptcy Court when I was wanted there. I was staying at Brighton and other places up to the time the pri soner was taken into custody on this charge, in which I never was afraid I should be made a de fendant. Before I appeared to give evidence here I did not obtain an uudertakieg that if I came as a witness I should not be included in the charge. This is the first I have heard of such a thing. He knew that ships had been chartered by Edgley to go out to the Danube to bring home timber, but they did not do so, in consequence, as Edgley told him, of the people having begun felling timber at too distant a part of the forest to get it down in time for shipment. The ships were detained too long, and an action for damages was brought against our firm. I know that .1 never wrote the prisoner's name to any of these bills, nor did I ever direct Grant to do so. If Grant Imo stated to the contrary he has . stated falsely. I know nothing of, nor did I ever see, a deed of assignment iorn Van Clieff to Edgley of the May dempeck Forest, 34r, Greenland Was again recalled, and in reply ' to Mr. Sleigh gated that he line av that an assign ment had been prepared, but he believed it had never been executed. Mr. Poland at this stage stated that he did not propose to go further with the evidence to-day, and asked for a nother adjournment. Mr. Sleigh said he hoped at thene lie next hearing ri s n ti A g l b r ) . Watt would be again produced, as had just received au important document,ite, rAes spect to which he desired to cross- n the adjournment must now tako place, prisoner emust again ask the Lord M a yor to admit the to bail, but reducing the amount of the sureties which had been fixed on the last occasion at £5OO. This the accused had been unable to procure, and from the change in the aspect of the case against him which this day's proceedings had effected, he wished his lordship would reduce the amount of bail to £lOO each. The Lord Mayor assented to reduce the amount to two sureties in £2OO each, notice to be gi ven to the solicitors for the prosecution. The case was then adjourned to Wednesday, the 29th Lust, SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, FOUR O'CLOCK. EPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. EPSOM RACES—Tars DAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

A TRIFLING AFFAIR.—EIIen Lynch, a prostitute, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with knocking a mane hat off. Mr. William Perchell, a Custom-house officer, said he was passing along Cable-street, Whitechapel, yesterday afternoon, with a Southampton friend, when the prisoner knocked his bat off. It fell in the mud. Ho offered no provocation whatever. Robert Billings, a police constable, No. 103 H, said he took the prisoner into custody, and the prosecutor charge' her with demanding money of him for five nights' lodging, although he had never seen her before, and on his telling her to get away she knocked Lis hat off. The prisoner was intoxicated. _ _ In defence, the prisoner said she met with some sailors, who shoved her against the prosecutor, and his hat fell off. Mr. Paget asked the constable Billings if he knew the prisoner. Billings—Yes, sir; I know her name; she is a disor derly prostitute. " ' Mr. Paget—And you know her name, and whore she lives ? Billings—Yes, sir, I do. Mr. Paget —I think you had better have left the com plainant to his reme ly by summons. Billings—A respectable man was passing along the street, and his hat is knocked off by a prostitute—the is a very drunken, disorderly woman. Mr. Paget—Yes, you are perfectly right in looking after these disorduly women, but in a trifling affair like this you had 'scarcely occasion - to interfere.- You .w.ta I.4ve at_ reeled the complainant to this court instead of taking her into custody. I shall allow her to be discharged. CHARGE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING —A Spanish sailor, who gave the name of Lawrence Holmes, and whose ship is lying in the river off Millwall, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with cutting and wounding William Romero, another seamKn, who was stated to be on board the Dread nought Hospital ship and in a very dangerous condition. M. Romero, a Spanish boardinghouse-keeper, of No. 62, Upper East Smithfield, said he was no relation to the wounded man. He saw the prisoner and Romero on board ship in the West India Dock, yesterday afternoon. They were struggling, and one was ou the top of the other alter nately. He separated them, and saw that Romero was bleeding from a wound on the chest, and that he had a knife, stained with blood, in his hand. He took the knife horn the prisoner and threw it an the deck. Mr. Paget—Was the wounded man taken to the hospital e Witness—Yes, sir, directly; he bled very much. Mr. Paget directed the witness to repeat the evidence in the Spanish language to the prisoner, and, that having been done, he remanded the prisoner for a week. MARKE TS. -- this day. Although tho supply of English wheat here, to-day, was very limited, all kinds met a dull inquiry, at Monday's de cline in the quotations. The first imports of foreign wheat have been moderate, viz, 14,360 quarters; but the show of samples was on the increase. The trade was heavy in the extreme, and the quotations were almost nominal. In floating cargoes of grain scarcely a transaction took place. The few samples of barley brought forward were held at full quotations. The malt trade was heavy, on former terms. Oats were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. Beans and peas were quite as dear as last week; but flour was a slow inquiry. 81tIP ARRITALB THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.
