LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1855. On Saturday we alluded to Lord STANLEY'S ad mirable suggestion for altering the periods during which the Parliamentary session is held, so as to enable the members of both Houses of Parliament to set off in pursuit of health or amusement by the middle of June, in place of the middle of August, under the existing system. The Noble Lord in his anxiety to carry the important pro position he has introduced disdains any pretension to originality, and shows that he deserves the title of " restorer" rather than of " innovator," his object being to enable Parliament to separate in 1 June, according to the practice of the olden time, and to meet the further demands on legislative labour, 'occasioned by the vast increase of public business, at a more convenient season than that which has recently been required for the purpose. It is neither more nor less than making from the beginning of November to the middle of Decem ber, and from the middle to the end of January, the working time, in place of from the middle of June to the middle of August, and, as we have already stated, no reasonable person can deny the great benefits that would arise from the change. Some difficulties have, however, been stated, which, for the most part, have been fairly met, and completely disposed of by the Noble Lord, and which certainly are not sufficiently formidable to prevent or materially - retard the adoption of this great and obvious amelioration. One of these objections is that the question is one for the consideration of the SOVEREIGN, or, in other words, of the Minister of the time being, rather than for that of Parliament. It is one of the most undoubted prerogatives of the Crown that the Monarch should be entitled to convene Parliament whenever its deliberations can be beneficial to the country, and that the attendance of Noble Lords and Honourable Gentlemen may in like manner be dispensed with at any time when it is not imperatively required, so as to allow suitable rest and recreation to the members, and to enable them to discharge other duties scarcely less important than those appertaining to the work of legislation. This difficulty, however, is easily disposed of. It is not for a moment in tended to interfere with the power of the SOVE REIGN to summon Parliament on any emergency. That must necessarily continue as at present. The only alteration contemplated is that it should be understood that the period for the despatch of de necessary business should be so far varied that a considerable portion thereof should be transacted before in place of after Christmas—that the work now got through before Easter should be disposed of in November and the beginning of December. Ministers may make this change without the authority of Parliament. But, as Lord STANLEY well remarks, " the leaders of parties are pre cisely the last persons who can venture to originate au alteration of the kind. They cannot afford to provoke opposition, or to lose support by throwing out ideas that may chance to be unpopular among any of their political friends !" If, therefore, the change is to be effected, it can only be by independent members taking up the subject, and obtaining the free expression of the opinions of both Houses, or rather of the House of Commons, for the Lords are not much called on in the early part of the session. Another objection has been suggested, from the present practice of the time of bringing forward the Budget, and making the financial arrange ments for the yeai. But after the preliminary obstacles are disposed of, and they would not prove very serious, it would be far better to understand these matters before Christmas than in April or M a y. The harvest would be completely gathered in before November. The prospects of the coun try could then be fairly estimated. Any extra ordinary expenses of the summer might be pro vided for. The official explanations would enable agriculturists, manufacturers, merchants, and traders o f every c l ass to judge mor e correctly of what would best suit their interests. 4 liould the nation 'unhappily be involved in hostilities, the most judicious arrangements for the next cam paign might be made. In every respect the change would be so much the better, so far as financial matters were concerned, that it ought to be introduced, even if inconvenient in other re- cts It has also been said thatt,the general business of the country has not being advanced by the assem bling of Parliament before Christmas. This, however, i s s i m ply occasion e d b y i ts being an ex ceptional and irregular practice. It is called for j some p ar ti cu lar object or objects, and the - R . 6_l medins are generally ?united thereto. Tin several members feel that it is an addition to their labours, for which no equivalent allowance will be made. But let them only understand that they will be enabled to disperse so much the earlier—that for every day occupied in Novem ber, December, or January, they will have a holi day in June, July, or August—and they will hail with delight the summons which is now regarded as an intolerable bore. The objection to which Lord STANLEY chiefly applies himself is that relating to what may be termed the sporting phase of the question. Many country gentlemen are passionately devoted to hunting, and will not willingly consent to any thing which will curtail their crusade against foxes. But even if the convenience and interests of a large majority of the House, and of the entire community, without exception, were to be sacri ficed to the modern "Nnanons," even they them selves might find ample opportunities for culti vating their favourite pursuits notwithstanding a November session. The votaries of the trigger, who constitute a large proportion of the sporting com munity, would be little interfered with. The Scottish moors would still maintain their attrac tions ; the partridges would be generally dis posed of by November, and quite enough time would remain for hares and pheasants. Besides, there would be an ample equivalent in the salmon fishing and yachting, from which, if not altogether debarred under the existing system, there are many serious drawbacks. With railway facilities, and considering how scanty is the attendance be fore Easter, save when some question of party interest is under discussion, those devoted to fox hunting might contrive to indulge considerably in their favourite pursuit even in November and December, notwithstanding the Parliamentary claims on their time. The NIMROD; too, are, generally speaking, fond of other country pur suits, and would, we venture to assert, not regret the power of enjoying themselves on their respec tive estates after the middle of June. There is one point to which Lord STANLEY has not alluded, but which would render the change still more beneficial, and materially improve the business of legislation. It is a subject to which his father has already directed public attention, offering irresistible arguments in its favour. It is, that business once introduced in Parliament should be continued until it has been finally dis posed of, either by receiving the Legislative sanc tion, or being rejected at some stage of its pro , gress. This would not abridge any of the con stitutional safeguards against reckless or hasty legislation. On the contrary, it would prevent the emasculation of measures, and insure mature and ample deliberation on every point. There would then be no necessity for the annual "mas sacre of the innocents." The House of Lords would have no reason to complain that they were not allowed fair time for deliberation ; nor would we see very injurious alterations submitted to by those having charge of bills merely to prevent their total loss. With this necessary amendment, the proposal of Lord STANLEY will be received with universal satisfaction, and be decidedly re garded as one of the most important reforms of modern days. However painful it may be to read of our losses by the enemy, it is infinitely more so to read of our losses by avoidable disease. In the one case there is the mournful satisfaction of believing that the blood of our gallant fellows has not been shed needlessly nor in vain, but that the country of their birth will hereafter reap the fruits of their heroism and self-devotion ; in the other, the perusal is embittered by the reflection that the record is one of nothing but loss, and that instead of being offered up as a glorious holocaust to their country's cause, with its inexorable requirements and splendid rewards, the noble fellows have fallen useless, if not unhonoured, victims to the igno rance, incompetency, and neglect of those whose bounden duty it was to take every precaution necessary for the preservation of their health. To read of fifty men as having fallen in the trenches, by the shot of the enemy, is a very dif ferent thing to' reading of that number fallen by pestilence. Yet who that is conversant with the history of the War but knows how small a propor tion of our losses, up to the present time, is as cribable to the unavoidable requirements of war, and that to pestilential—that is to say, avoidable— disease we owe the decimation of our troops ! The eye that has brightened with pride at their heroic deeds has oftener, it must be confessed, been dimmed with pity and shame at the mai:int:On el which their welfare has been neglected. Under such circumstances the letter 'q Dr. SUTHERLAND, the Sanitary Commissioner in the Crimea—the Golgotha of our troops —possesses peculiar interest. From this document, addressed, by the way, to the garl of SH AFTESBURY, it wou ld ...solu appear that theta.,..itary condition of the army is better than might have been expected, and that his efforts have been rewarded by considerable success. The most striking parts, however, are those containing his confirmation of the reports of the frightful condition of Balaklava on his arrival, and his remarks on the sanitary prospects of the army before Sebastopol. The following is his description of Balaklava before he entered on his duties :—" It is a small port, land-locked, lying among lofty hills, crowded with ships, the margins of the harbour formed with dead animals, and filth of all kinds ; the upper end a marsh, which has been used as a graveyard, where some thousands of the carcases of men and dnimals had been buried, mostly in water, and hardly covered with earth ; carcases floating in the harbour, and also the refuse and blood of cattle slaughtered on board ship ; no latrines but the hill sides, and back yards of houses covered with filth in consequence." Can it be wondered at, if in such a state of things —with a harbour in so filthy a condition, visited daily by 20,000 men, so many have been swept off by pestilence ? The wonder really is that there has not been more. The present sanitary condition of the army adds its testimony to the existence and results of previous neglect. Though by no means in so good a condition as might be attained, the troops appear to be healthy as com pared with the past. Diarrhoea has been preva lent, it is true, but by care and attention the disease has not gone further in the majority of instances. That such cases should be numerous is not surprising, under the circumstances, considering the change of climate with new troops—the animal remains festering beneath the surface, and the pestilential vapours ever and anon wafted from the doomed city. It is grati fying, however, to find that the locality is not in itself particularly unhealthy, and that the marshy spots where malaria is engendered are neither nu merous nor unavoidable, As to the sanitary prospects of the array we confess to some appre hension. It is quite evident from his letter that Dr. SUTHERLAND has met with discouragement in his labours from quarters to which he had aright to look for encouragement, and that he is not very hopeful, of his directions being carried out This, if there be cause, as we fear there is, for, ,hit.c,innde,ne37,,,. in his absence. is . greatly eio — Y43 "regrettea.' Lny such "neirea," indeed, by the officials in future, ought to bring down on their heads condign punishment, remem bering what has already been inflicted by it on the troops. Until, however, the education of military men is more complete, and, as Dr. SUTHERLAND recommends, " military hygiene " is made a considerable portion of the education of every officer, the health of our troops will be more or less neglected. Balaklava may be purified, and marshes drained, or rendered innocuous by the agency or advice of such men as Dr. SUIIHER• LAND, but unless officers are properly informed on sanitary matters, and do the best in their power for the men under their charge, pestilence will make its assaults, and seize its victims among the best and bravest, as of old.

The Moniteur publishes the following from General Pelissier : CRIMEA, Auo. 24, 10 P.M. In the course of last night we carried an am buscade on the glacis of Malakhoff; 500 Rus sians made a sortie for the purpose of retaking it, but they were brilliantly repulsed with a loss of about 300 men.

Pelissier " Ctimea, 23d, 10 at night. CC The enemy, being closely pressed by our miners in front of the battery No. 53, decided on exploding during last night five chambers of mines against that battery. The explosions produced no effect on it, and have done us no injury." We have received the following private teleg; ra phic despatches : " MARSEILLES 25th.—The Ale xan d re h as j ust arrived, having left Constantinople on the 16th. 'She brings to Francel,loosick or wounded soldiers of the army of the East. The fete of the 15th was celebrated there with great pomp. The Sardinian and Greek Ministers were present at the Te ileum which was performed on the occasion, but the absence of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe was remarked. Ac counts from Trebisond of the 7th confirm the news of the Russians being at only three hours' march from Erzeroum. The English consul at that place had removed all the archives of-his office to Trebi sond. Letters from Kars of the 28th July state that, notwithstanding the approach of the Russian army, the spirit of the troops was excellent. The last accounts from Odessa state that the Russians had lately launched several vessels which had bee. on the stocks at Nicolaieff." " MARSEILLES, Aug. 25.—The. Alexandre brings accounts that two more battalions were about to embark for Tripoli, under a general. The torte places great reliance on the assistance oftered by the Bey of Tunis. The major part of the . Tunisian cavalry has embarked at Constantinople for Asia. An attack by General Muravieff on Erzeroum ap pears inevitable. The fortifications of that place are incomplete. The Sultan has at length con sented to the departure of Omer Pasha for Asia, subject however to the assent of the allied generals, The Allies have placed 150 new mortars in position before Sebastopol. The Russians have doubled the garrison of that place, and are preparing for a desperate defence. The allies expect the most favourable result from the bombardment. A Bel gian brig, the Rubis, has been pillaged at Sulina." " H4I4IBURG, 24th.—The French corvette, La Marne, has just arrived in this port with 218 Rus sian prisoners on board." " bANTZIC, 24th evening. —The Geyser has just arrived. She left Nargen on the 21st. Part of ,the Allied fleets were anchored there, and a part at Cronstadt.

The Queen of England, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal will leave St. Cloud on Monday morning, at ten o'clock, for the Tuileries, whence they will again set out at eleven o'clock, passing through the Arc de Triomphe on the Place Carrousel, the Rue de Rivoli, Rue de Castiglione, Place Vendome, Rue de la Paix, and the Boulevards des Capucines, des Italie ns , Mont martre, Bonne-Nouvelle, Saint-Denis, and de Stras burg. The departure from the Strasburg terminus will take place at noon. The Moniteur publishes the following letter from the Emperor, to General Pelissier, dated August 20 " General,—Tho new victory gained on the Tcher naya proves for the third time, since the commencement of the war, the superiority of the Allied armies over the enemy in the open field ; but if it does honour to the courage of our troops it does not testify less to your ex cellent arrangements. Address my congratulations to the army, and receive them also for yourself. Tell those brave soldiers who for more than a year have supported unheard-of fatigues that the end of their trials is not far distant. Sebastopol, I hope, will soon fall under their blows ; and, should that event be postponed, I know from sources which I believe to be sure, that the Rus sian army cannot maintain the struggle in the Crimea during the winter. The glory achieved in the Crimea ha. moved your companions in arms in France ; they ill eagerly desire to share your dangers. Thus, with the double wish of respondir g to their noble desire, and of procuring rest for those who have already done so much, I have given orders to the Minister of War that all the regiments that have remained in France shall go out gradually to take the place of those that return. Yon know, General, how much it has grieved me to he kept away from that army which has added a new lustre to our eagles ; but now my regret is lessened, as you h o ld out to me te prospect of a speedy and decisive success which will crown so many heroic efforts, " General, I pray God - to have you in his safe keepir,, " Written at the Palace of St. Cloud, Aug. 20 - 1855.

" " St. Clo u d, A ug . 24 . Mousier le Praet, —The Queen has commanded me to express 'co you, and to the municipal body her sincere 0.-tanks for the fete given to her yester- day. The scale of magnificence of the arrangements, the splerdour of the building, and the courtesy of the numerous guesth have made a lasting impression upon the ;hind of the Queen, and will be always present to he memory as one of the most agreeable incidents of 'Lier visit to Paris. " In replying to the address which the Queen has received with so much satisfaction from the municipal body, her Majesty assures you M. le Prdfet, that she can never forget the reception she has met with from the population of Paris ; she desires to renew the assur ances of her deep gratitude for the warm expressions of sympathy with which she was everywhere welcomed on her passage when, with her illustrious ally and friend, she visited the numerous edifices in which are collected with so much profusion the remembrances of the suc cesses of the French nation in the arts, sciences, and war.

She is convinced that the two nations who have learned reciprocally to appreciate each oth - er in a war undertaken for a cause at the same time List and equitable, and who are now rivals no longer, except for the attainment of the common obj€ct they have in view, will remain always united by the bonds of interests which have become henceforth inseparable. This union has been the ardent wish of the Queen's . heart, and her visit to the magnificent capital of France has inspired her Majesty with a deep personal interest for the welfare of that great nation. " I take advantage of this occasion to offer to you, M. le Prget, the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. !CLARENDON.' The Moniteur also publishes the following : " The Marshal commanding the Eastern Division of the Army wad the Ist Military Division has received the following letter from the Minister of War : " 'Paris, Aug. 25. Marshal,—The Emperor authorises me to tell you that her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain was very much satisfied with the ensemble of the review held yes terday in the Champ de Mars. " The sight of your brilliant army reminded her Bri tannic Majesty of that other French army the colours of which are united fraternally with the colours of Englard on the enemy's soil, and the blood of which has cemented nn the field of battle the imperishable alliance of the two countries. " ' The fine appearance of the troops under your com mand, the precision of the manoeuvres executed, the ardour of all, struck her Majesty, and she feels con vinced that if in its turn this army is called upo❑ to fight for the common cause, it will show itself a worthy competitor of that which has already achieved so much glory in the Crimea. "' I have great pleasure in communicating to you this expression of satisfaction. " ' Accept, Marshal, the assurance of my very high satisfaction " ' Minister of War, " ' VAILLANT.' " - The Efinperor steamer and the Lady Russell trans:port left Marseilles on Thursday for the East, tl.e former with 200 men and 270 horses on board, and the latter with 1,200 men, and 70 horses. A letter from Marseilles of the 24th says :—" The movement of troops, considerable as it has been of late, is now assuming infinitely more considerable proportions. The Ist Regiment of the line which has just arrived here is to leave at once, and is to form part of the new corps which is being concen trated at Constantinople. Detachments each of 180 men, of the sth, 66th, 67th, 83d, and 88th of the line are expected here this day. These detach ments are all composed of volunteers selected from a far greater number who offered to go. To-morrow it will be the turn of detachments of the 13th, 16th, 19th, 22d, 38th, 78th, and 87th of the line. We also understand that there is some idea of sending out a brigade formed of two regiments of lancers, to be embarked at this port." The Prince of Orange arrived at Malta on the 14th, on board the Dutch frigate Doggersbank, with his governor and suite, and was saluted on landing by the Ceylon and Fort St. Angelo. His Highness is to visit the principal ports of the Me diterranean for his instruction. General M'Mahon arrived at Malta on the 15th, on board the Thabor, on his way to the Crimea, where he is to replace General Canrobert. A letter from Tripoli of the 14th, in the Moni teur, says : " The last accounts received state that Ghouma, the chief of the insurrectionary movement, has not laid siege to Tripoli, as was feared. Different causes have compelled him to delay his projects; among others, the want of increasing his supplies of provisions, and the necessity of curing a wound which he received, and which had become so inflamed that mortification was dreaded. This state of things is favourable to the Turks, although Ghouma retains all hie influence over the tribes of the desert, which be has acquired by his bravery and indefatigable energy. Since the commencement of the outbreak he has taken no rest, and, although upwards of 65 years of age, remains almost all day on horseback. He is now at the Chateau of Djebel. Ghouma continu ally maintains the same line of policy, offering to collect and pay the tax to the Regency, on condition that he and his family should be exonerated from all tenure and service, and that an Imperial firman shall secure to him the functions of Lieutenant-General. The Pasha is con centrating all the forces he can muster, in order to pre vent a surprise. 1,400 men have already arrived from Constantinople, with artillery and ammunition, and others are expected."

The Government had approved of the burn ing of Old Town, Calabar, by the Antelope, Com mander Yonne", at the requisition of acting C onsu l Lynlager for the infraction of the treaty abolishing human sacrifices made by the Calabar Chiefs in 1851. A very sanguinary affair occurred on the 17th of July at Gambia ; the natives having broken out in open rebellion in consequence of a man named Fodey having gone to a native village and seized and carried away a man and his wife for slaves. Fodey, being supported by Marabous, refused to surrender to the police, who were supported by Lieutenants Davies and Armstrong, and a small military force. Lieutenant Armstrong was wounded, and two soldiers made prisoners. The Marabous then burned three English villages, on which Governor O'Conner proceeded, with 260 men, to take St. Mary's, but was waylaid by the natives, who drove him back with a loss of 30 killed and 43 wounded. Governor O'Conner then obtained the assistance of a French man-of-war, the Entrepre- Dante, and 150 white troops, who carried the town at the point of the bayonet, and on the 3d it totally destroyed it. The French had two killed and one wounded. British none killed. Bathurst is in a very insecure state. RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 16th, in the Constitutionnel, says : " The Portuguese envoy, M. de Villar4al, has had the honour of being received by their Majesties and by the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael. All the Russian journals are filled with news about the approaching ar rival of the Queen of England at Paris. It is now consid eredthat the duration of the alliance between France and England, cemented by such proofs of cordiality between the two nations and the two Sovereigns, cannot be doubted, and Russian statesmen have lost the hope of ever being able to sow dissension between the Western Allies. The more close the alliance becomes, the more grave is considered the prolongation of the present war. The Russians now reca l th e verse from Holy writ, so often quoted by the late Czar in his manifestoes—' God will punish the aggressor !' and they ask now whether the chastisement has not commenced. ' Where,' they ask, are the Mentschikoffs, the Korniloffs, the N achi moffs, and so many others who brought about this ter rible war ? I s no t P r i nce G o rtschakoff pursued with ill-fortunes ? Is he not as unfortunate at Sebastopol as he was in the PrincipaNties ? In Asia, Beboutoff and Andronikoff are gone , an d M oura vieff does nothing.. It must also be a c k now l e d ge d th a t the blockade has ruined commerce, and that wheat, formerly worth 15f. has now fallen to 2f. The Emperor has conferred upon Generals Bonin and Makioukine the order of St. Status laus of the Ist class. It is generally believed hero that Revel will be shortly bombarded."

The payee will be henceforth required to furnish the address of the re mitter, though he will still have to give the remitter's name. Although it will no longet be necessary to inter the remitter's address in the advice, the remitter will still h 2 required to furnish it, and postmasters must, as heretofore, enter it in their journal. CASE OF CHILD STARVING LIVERPOOL, Saturday.— A dreadful case of this nature has just been made known to the authorities. The parties implicated are a man named Aspinall and his wife, residing in Lawton-street. Aspinall is a clerk in one of the Liverpool departments of the London and North Western Railway. It ap pears that up to within a period of three years past they bad behaved kindly to their children, nine in number ; but latterly they have dissipated their means in habits of intoxication, and refused the children food. One of the public officers on Friday went to the house of the partien, and was horror-stricken at what he witnessed. There was scarcely any furniture in the room in which the children were, and alongside the grate he saw something crouched near the wall, and en approaching it he found it was a child about four years old, in a state of' nudity, and gathered up like a dog. Its hip bones were nearly protruding from the skin. It could neither walk nor stand. A child fifteen months old was also in a most emaciated condition and dying'. while a third was likewise in a state of nudity. The eldest daughter stated that the youtgest child, which was then dead, was required to be washed about three weeks ago, but the mother would not perform that duty, but re quested one of the children to pump water on it, which she did, until it was cleaned. This was of f r equent oc currence, and the result was that the child took co ld, The and having no food, became debilitated and d other child is not expected to live. An inquest was held this afternoon, and Dr. Kemp gave it as that opinio n hise ntof the child died from gross neglect and constant w a food. He added thathe never saw a c hi ld so emaciated, the leones actually being all but the skin. The man and wife inculpated each other as to their drunken habits, and constant neglect of t he children : Th e jury, h owe ver, returned a verdict of Mur der" l aga ins t b0,.. 413. parties, and steps were taken to provide properly • - f or tha, _ other children. SPORTING NOTES. SHADOWS OF COMING EVENTS AT YORK. The result of the racing at York has imparted addi tional interest and a new tendency to speculation on both St. Leger and Derby. The betting on the former event., indeed, has been completely changed to the ad vantage, and perhaps prat, of bookmakers. Prior to the meeting only two horses, Oulston and Lord of the Isles, were in actual demand ; now Rifleman and Ca pucine have been brought into prominent notice. Tin disgraceful defeat of Oulston by Will Dayrell created a sensation, and was the primary cause of widening tl e range of speculation, and the two victories of Rifleman have introduced a new and formidable favourite into t' • market. The success of the Squire was hailed with general gratification, and the probability exists that it will be followed up with more substantial results et Doncaster ; fer Flatman declares that since the days of Orlando he has rot ridden such a horse as Rifle man. The opportunity which was afforded of obtaining z, glimpse of Lord of the Isles was turned to a favourable account. An evident improvement has been made oe his Spring form, and it is not improbable that young John Prince will commence his career as trainer with a St. Leger victory. The utter defeat of Oulston, and the favourable Impression made by Rifleman and Lord of the Isles, have destroyed much of the confidence which was placed in the Danebury horse. Oulston has, indeed, been a dear bargain to Mr. Elwes, yet his over throw by so superior a horse as Wild Dayrell must nut render us indifferent to the incontestible racing merit which he has invariably displayed. Blooming Heather's chance is utterly insignificant. Whether John Scott will have a St. Leger favourite is extremely questionable. The defeat of Mosquito by Capucine seems to have les sened any faith which was placed in his mares, whilst the attempt t 3 force Greeculus Esuriens into the market must be regarded with suspicion. My present fancy for the St. Leger is for Rifleman and Lord of the Isles. Fly-by-Night's victory appeared to have an effect quite contrary to that of improving his position in the Derby ietting. The favourable reports which had been cir culated about Artillery were proved to be founded on fact by the horse's successful debut. Mr. Morris possesses a superior animal in Artillery, and the horse is not likely to be spoiled by management, for the blooming condi tion in which be was sent to the post showed that they who have the care of him are consummate masters of the art of training. Dramatist figured most ingloriously, and for a time at least is not likely to play an important part in the Derby betting. Among the animals who may be considered "knocked out" of the market by there ran ning at York are Van Galen, Ellerdale colt, and Vander mulin. It is not a little extraordinary that whilst Bto 1 was laid against the last mentioned horse " at the post" for his race at York, he was in London almost an equal favourite with Dramatist. Tie Ebor Handicap requires no special comment. Th« animals which I selected against the field ran first ane second. Vandal was ridden so satisfactorily by Young Cresswell that John Scott immediately afterwards en gaged him as his principal light weight. Such is luck, for Fordham was sought after for the mount, but Mr. T. Parr had a prior claim upon his services and started Fanny Grey on purpose to secure him. The style in which Wells brought up Little Harry at the finish ex cited unqualified admiration, for so far had the hors« lain out of his ground at the far side of the course, ano so hopeless did his chance appear: that whilst running 100 to 1 was offered against him. Had he been quick enough on his legs to start on, good terms he might have jeopardised Vandal's victory. The current week's racing has commenced this day at Radcliffe. To-morrow the most important event to be decided is the Stewards' Cup, for which on papal the chances of Haxby and Cherry Braudy seem most noteworthy. For the Manchester Cup, Patience and Gamelad are my selections. The Derby Meeting will commence to-morrow ; al though the quality of the sport will not be very first. rate, yet the quantity will doubtless be satisfactory. Of the sixteen nominations for the Foal Stakes, Ben hams is most entitled to notice. For the Tradesmen's Plate, Mr. Parr has among the entries Mortimer, Saucebox, and Fanny Grey. The representative of his interest shall also represent mine. Should Kiteflyer run "kind," he may win the Chatsworth Stakes. My present fancy is, however, fur Fanny Grey. For the Chesterfield Stakes I shall stand on Stork. I shall reserve my anticipatory remarks on the Egham Meeting until Wednesday. August 27. A FRESH MAN. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TBIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—Sarah Purkie, a young female, 19 years of age, residing at No. 1, Little Union-street, Borough, was charged before the Lord Mayor with at• tempting to drown herself. _ . . . . Police constable, 513, stated that about 1 o'clock a.m on Sunday he received information that a young woman had gone down the steps of London-bridge with the in tention of drowning herself. He hastened to the spot and overtook her within three steps of the water. He caught hold of her, when she desired him to let her go because she wished to throw herself into the water. She was crying very much, and appeared, in great distress of mind, and it was with difficulty he could get her away. He brought her to the station, where she stated she had for some time past contem plated committing suicide. Prisoner had left her parents, who resided at Bow, for 12 months, six of which she had been in service, and the remainder on the town. His Lordship remanded her till Wednesday, to enable the police to communicate with her parents. F. L. Cooper, formerly a coffee-house keeper, was charged with attempting to obtain money under false pretences. Mrs. Charlotte Cooper, wife of Mr. Cooper, artist, 41, King William-street, London-bridge, stated that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner; who is a stranger to her, came to her house and walked up the stairs to the first floor. The door of the room being partly open the prisoner walked in where she was sitting and asked if her husband was at home. She replied no. Prisoner asked if Mr. Cooper was a stout man. She said yes. He then represented himself to be a reporter, and said that Mr. Cooper had got into trouble i❑ becoming bail for a fighting man, but that if she would pay him 13s. 6d. the circumstance should not appear in any of the papers. If it did it might be an injury to him. Witness declined payi,,g him the sum demanded, and referred him to her solicitor. The pri soner came a second time when Mr. Cooper was from home. He called again this morning, and offered to take less than 13s. 6d. He wished to have his likeness taken, which might be deducted from the amount to be paid. Mr. Cooper being at borne he gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner produced a list of 24 daily and sunday papers, and entered into a calculation of what he should get if he sent the circumstance alluded to to them. Mr. Cooper deposed that he knew nothing whatever of the prisoner. This morning when he saw him he threatened to disgrace him in the papers if he did not pay him his demand of 13s. 6d. He persisted in saying witness was before Mr. Coombe on Saturday and was bail for a pugilist, which was a falsehood. The pr soner (whose conduct betrayed his suffering from aberration of mind) was remanded till Thursday to allow the prison surgeon to examine him. GUILDHALL. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER —A lad named John Butler was charged by Mr. James Stephens, oilman, Fore-street, with robbing him of one shilling. The prosecutor stated the prisoner had been in his employ for three weeks. He bad had occasion to suspect the prisoner's honesty, and he marked 45., which he gave to a policeman's wife to come and lay out at his shop. She purchased goods to the amount of 3s. Bd. of the prisoner, giving in pay ment the four marked shillings. Prosecutor was in a back room watching the prisoner, and saw him put the whole of the money into the till. Another customer came in, when he saw him take some money from the silver side of the till and put it in his pocket. He called in a policeman, who searched him, and found six sixpences and one of the marked shillings in his pocket. Sir Robert Carden said it was a very bad case, and committed the prisoner for three months. The first sod of the Silloth Railway will be cut by Sir James Graham at Drumburn, on the 31st. REDIARKABLE DISCOVERY.—Jame, Crabtree, pit-sinker to Messrs. Ackroyd, of Burtinsoaw Bottom, in sinking a pit at. Morley, near L ee d s , l as t M onday, found a l i ve frog in the centre of a large coal, 78 yards below the surface, conside ra bly b e l ow t h e M orley Tunnel, to wh i c h it is close adjoining. The frog is still very lively. When found it was very dark in colour, but was on Wednesday becoming like the common every-day species. The eyes are very bright, and surrounded with a gold ring. It has four claws on its fore feet, and five (web-footed) on the hind f ee t. I ts mou th i s c l ose d , or fi rm ly shut, but it has two v en t s , apparent l y nostri l s , on th e top of its nose. The seam of coal from which it was disinterred was 4aturated with water ; and probably from this circum tance, combined with close confinement, it had been enabled to sustain its half-torpid lite through countless ages.—Leeds Mercury. :arA RKE T TVS. , ( THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were very moderately supplied with wheat, which sold steadily, on rather higher terms. Barley was firm. The oat trade was steady. Beans, peas, and flour supported previous rates. Most of the continental markets have become firmer for wheat, and pricas have had an upward tendency. The latest accounts from New York state that prices of when ind flour were well supported. Very limited supp'isd of English grain were received nP to our market last week. The imports of foreign yr 1,665 quarters of wheat, 5,3.37 oats, 20 beans, 8, 213 Iln ; iee , i, 2,413 rapeseed, 70 sundry seeds, and 9,003 sacks 01 The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our inar ke l, this morning, coastwise and by land carriage , was b aw . moderate, and at least two-thirds of it was of this year 4rowth, in about average condition. Although the et' tendance of town and country millers was by no reaa n° ,, extensive, the demand—owing to the late purchase as s ru• 'oreign flour from France—ruled somewhat active, at advance in the quotations paid on Monday last, of from 2 a to 3s per quarter. We were tolerably well, but not to say extensivell, supplied with foreign wheat. There was an increased amount of business doing in most kinds, and the rates •.vere fully 2s. per quarter higher than on this do se'nnight. There was an improved inquiry for floating cargoes, et vely full prices. Grinding barley changed hands fat eadily at is. per q 1261. ter more money. Other kinds of barley were quite °el", as last week. No change in malt, which ruled steady. We had a steady sale for oats, and prime qualities Or proved 61 per quarter. Inferior samples were qu ite 0 clear as last week. 0 Beans came slowly to hand, and they realised very' prices. There was a good sale for peas at extreme rates. Several parcels of Spanish flour sold for export at fie 56s to 59s per sack. Country flour was rather dearer. CURR , ,NC 1( PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.
