Very little change has occurred in the relative positions of the besieged and besiegers during the st three days. The French have not advanced yfu ier towards the enceint e o r t h e M a l a kh o ff, . ut the thy() been busily occupied both in extend ing and a t pening the approaches already made. The trenches are sufficiently wide now for the troops to stand four deep under cover from direct fire. The moon was full on the 29th instant, and the nights hive been sufficiently clear for working parties in front to Le - immediately perceived by the enemy. A newlypiac , ld gabion becomes at once the signal for a terrific discharge of grape and small shells. The same causes have acted in preventing the sap from being extended towards the Redan. The enemy has executed a counter-approach, the object of which has been puzzling many of our engineers. On the night of the 28th instant the Russians were distinctly beard working, about the Korniloff bastion, as it was supposed, by the French in the advanced approaches on the Malakhofe-hill. When daylight appeared, however, it was Observed that a deep trench had been cut in the glacis, at right angles to the great ditch around the Malak hoff works. It was almost directly o pp os it e t o th e salient angle of the Korniloff bastion, commud.- cated with the ditch by an opening in the counter scarp, passed through the abbatis, and was ex tended in a direction towards the nearest point of. the French approach. This passage, which seems to be very deep, decreases in breadth as it recedes from the ditch. • The earth has been thrown up on either side, so as to form two parapets, and the whole has the appearance of one of those covered passages known, in the language of fortification, as a double caponniere. But what the object of it is in the present instance is not very appa. rent. Whether intended to counteract any supposed mining in that direction, or to be used as a passage for sallying out against the besiegers, is a matter of surmise. Since the night of its first construction it has been deepened, but in other respects it remains, as far as can be seen, in the same state in which it was when first observed. The colour of the fresh , arth thrown up and the opening made in the dark 3battis by its passage render this trench very con spicuous. The Russians have brought a heavy fire to bear upon the new battery erected on . the ea•t side of Careening Bay near the water of the great road , stead, and have succeeded in some degree in delaying its completion. There are no less than six batteries •n the north side, the guns of which can be turned against the spur and ridge to the right of the Careening Harbour. The largest battery is the 12-gun battery nearly directly opposite. Our allies call this work, from its being close to the large burying-place frequently referred to from its con spicuous position, La Batterie de la Cimetiere. Large Ru-siatt working parties have been very husy about it of late : they appear to be extending it, and also to be excavating deep trenches along the heights, both to the east and west of the work alluded to. The small 5-gunbaitCiywhiC.lhtite Russians deserted the day after the capture of the Seleughinsk and Voihynia redoubts, has been con verted into a strong w or k b y our allies. It is now , eady for its armament, which will consist of three 13-inch mortars and a Lancaster gun. From its commanding position over the roadstead, being at the extreme end of the spur of the mountain, it is anticipated that this work also will be - very effective against the Russian shipping. The Selenghinsk redoubt, which is still familiarly called the White Battery, has an immensely powerful armament. It is said that we are expecting the arrival of a further supply of large mortars. It has been noticed that, in the large Russian cemetery to the west of the Star Fort, a large obe lisk has lately been erected. This appears to mark the grave of some distinguished personage, for. 4roups of soldiers have been frequently seen gathered around it, and yesterday a large party of ladias, with children, left some carriages and walked to that part of the cemetery where it is placed. They remained a long time there. This burying place seems devoted to persons of higher class than the larger one near the 12-gun battery. The crosses are larger, and particularly obvious among the col lection of graves are four large monuments, or raised tombs, of white stone. Trains of carts, conveying gabions, or forage, or sometimes sacks, continue to arrive daily along the north side. There has been very little firing in the French works on the left for some time past until yesterday (30th.) The approaches appear to be everywhere so :tear to the Russian lines, that they wait only for the signal to assault. Yesterday morning, however,it was observed from the right that some Russian working parties in large bodies were moving toward the Bastion du Mat, and notice was sent of the olg 'ier vation to the French authorities on the left. A tremendous fire was at once opened by our allies, I , :td the bombardment was kept up for two hours. the Russians at first replied with very great vigour, hut the superiority of the French fire was subse= ouently strongly marked, and toward the conclu sion the enemy's guns were nearly silent. In the ,fternoon, at half-past 3 o'clock, the French sprung powerful mine, apparently near the salient angle if the Flagstaff Battery : lines of earth were pro jected into the air to a grk at height, and a dense column of black smoke, immediately following fol lowed the explosion. A flag of truce was hoisted it Fort Constantine just at the conclusion of the short bombardment mentioned above; it was said to have reference to an interchange of prisoners. Our casualties, though rather numerous durieg the last three days, have not been generally very serious in character. The only officer struck was 'Aslant-Surgeon Louis Lundy, of the 79th High :antlers, who received a contusion of the thigh from a large fragment of shell. On the 29th the French made some experiments with a field rocket battery at a part of the right dank overlooking the Tchernaya Valley. Some shots were directed against the small Russian bat tery on the verge of the cliff forming part of the Itikerman mountain. One or two shots fell with .xcellent preci s i on , b u t t h e fli g ht o f the rockets seerned.generally too uncertain for a mark compa ratively so small, and in so difficult a position. their range, when directed against the valley, was very great, and as projectiles for the purpose of andoying an advancing force, they must doubt less be very effective. The French speak very confidently of the assault being made before the 15th of August, the fete-day of the first Emperor Napoleon. No date is named in the English camp, but circumstances lead to the supposition that it will take place immediately that the necessary preparations can be completed. Major- General Sir Richard Dacres, K. U. 8., commanding the Royal Artillery, has left for Tberapia. His leave of absence extends to the 15th of next month. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle is visiting the camp at present. He arrived by the steamer Ottawa, and it is understood, will remain in camp for a week or ten days. The troops are now in good health and cheerful, and well provided for in all respects, and a visitor may well find it difficult to understand how, only 7 months back, a state of things could have existed so diametrically the reverse. There has been a remarkable change in the state of the weather during the three days just passed. The morning of the 28th instant was ushered in by violent showers of rain, which soon converted the ravines into so many channels for scarcely passable torrents. Heavy showers have continued to fall at intervals since, and the water reservoirs are again filled. The springs afford an abundant supply,and the restrictions, which a few days since were obliged to be adopted on account of the prevailing drought, have consequently been removed. The rain ceased yesterday, and towards night the atmosphere exhi bited a considerable amount of electric disturbance. The lightning was incessant, but consisted chiefly of "sheet lightning," and was not attended with thun iinstances ces thun der. The rain has been followed by th e a pp e ara nce of a few cases of cholera among the regime nts i n front. however, enjoying good health,T h are,of fever and dysen teric disease are continuing to occur. e troops a tho n generallygl aim? BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, July 30. For the last few days we have experienced an agreeable interruption to the oppressively warm weather, which we have so long endured. All the country around seems as if visited by a second spring. It is to be hoped it will also do something towards replenisbing the springs of water which have been nearly dried up by the continued heat. Much might have been done long before now towards alleviating this want, which there was a probability would be severely felt before the autumn. The French from the commencement instituted a corps of well sinkers, paying a premium on the springs discovered, and it to our allies that the whole of the right attack is at present indebted for the supply of water to the pre,ent time. We have begun now to turn our at tention towards alleviating the hardships of the winter in prospect, and the quartermasters have been called on to furnish a list of the warm cloth ing necessary to complete the soldiers of their re spotty( rezmeate, and under the prow system there is little fear of the inconveniences and surmountable hardships recarring. As we will most probably be in possession .of the south side of Sebastopol before the snow falls we will he able there to find sufficient shelter for the whole army, even should the Russians in their desperate flight destrepas much of the town as has escaped the destrnotive effects of our shot. Our army is sanguin e o f succes4, although we have remained out s id e so l oug that the streets of Sebastopol seem as far from us as the stars of heaven. By the formation of a land transport corps our soldiers will be spared from acting as commis sariat mules," and the wooden houses give them a good. shelter, which an English campaigning tent never does. In these days of army reform attention might ho called to the state of British camp equip age-tents; camp-kettles, picks, shovels, and hatchets, remain the same as those issued to the army, under Abercombie, in Egypt. L a tt er ly the last nam e d article has been improved on by the introduction of a new patterned American hatchet, very portable and serviceable, but we requira billhooks, more adapted for cutting bush-woodfor firing than for chopping logs. We have tried some improvements in the old wooden water-barrels with copp?r hoops. Bottles made of India rubber and gutta percha wore issued for trial, th e former, wen emptied and dried, allowed the sides tc collapse and stick together so fast that it was impossible to make use of them again ; and the gotta percha bottles, when exposed to a hot sun, became so soft that anything made a hole in them ; teaideekhis,..they gave a dis agreeable taste to the water contained in them. Before the heavy rains of winter come down the soldiers should be supplied with nipple covers for their rifles, and an improved style of copper. For the former, something made of India-rubber, like the cover of an ink bottle, might no doubt an swer, and this might be adapted for the muzzle also. As it is our military principle never to-allow the soldiers to think and act for themselves, but that their officers should think and act for them, it is ne cessary that those in authority should be reminded of the most trivial want, to the end that it may be speedily supplied. All our old and tried soldiers know that their rifles, after any length of firing, become choked up in the nipple, and on that ac• count they invariably carry a picker, in order to probe the touch-hole when necessary ; but many of our recruits, who arrive daily, require to find out this by experience, and not until they find their efforts to " draw a head" on the approaching Mus covite are unsuccessful from the above-mentioned cause. So they remember to provide themselves with this article. They ofttimes give their lives as the price of their experience. The old picker and brush issued with the flint musket is just as neces sary with the Minie rifle. The continued dry weather has allowed us to neg lect th e d rainage, d our trenches, and the consequence is that th( y have become wet ditches. In the lower ones the water is nearly flush with the surface, as the zig-zags carry down to them the accumulated water from Gordon's battery. The middle ravine (marked in the map as the continuation of the nelnaia,) is generally transformed into the bed of a rdging torrent by the heavy rains which have set in. The deserter who came over to us the other even ing mentioned that 14 men and one officer wished to accompany. him, but were deterred by our men firing on them. This story has been repeated by every deserter who has joined us as yet. It may be doubted if their death by British bullets is so certain as death from the knout in the case of their returning to the army they have left after their unsuccessful attempt at desertion. A reconnaissance was made by the cavalry yes terday ( - 29th) beyond Baidar, to investigate the probable force of the Russians in that quarter. By all accounts the allies deceive themselves • with re spect to the'Russian fordes in the peninsula, they being neither so numerous in men or artillery as our late commanders wished to suppose. The formation of the southern portion of the Crimea affords in many places great advantages to those who remain merely on the defensive, as our position on the heights of Sebastopol and the present position of the Russians in the pass of Mackenzie's Farm. There are two passes leading from the plains of the Tchernaya to the steppes of the Northern Crimea. Both of these can be held by a small force against one greatly its superior, and unfortunately the Russians have been beforehand with us in holding th'em both. Another pass is spoken of by tho Tar tars, but it does not present sufficient facilities for the transport of artillery, and yet Hannibal brought elephants over the Alps. Towards the side of the town resting on the Karabelnaia ravine, the Russians ate endeavouring to strengthen it sufficiently with batteries in order to prevent a recurrence of the coup de main in that quarter. There is now little doubt that if Cm attack by General Airey had been seconded by reinforcements and simultaneously with the attack on the Redan the result would have been success. ful ; and as for the oft-repeated excuse that the Redau is untenable unless the Malakhoff is first taken, our engineers seem to be undecided on this point, as there is no point from which they can have a good view of the relative positions of one towards the other, unless it be from the north side, and this land is at present in the power of the enemy. Since the taking of the Sapoune redoubts, all the houses of the government artisans at the head of the harbour have been abandoned; also the place marked in the plan as the biscuit manufactory. There is even a prize captured by the land forces abandoned at the head of the harbour consisting of a small coasting schooner which ran aground, and was de serted by her crew in the early part of the siege. In my next commun iottion I may 'have proieahly subjects of greater interest, as the speedy pro4ress of the works on the French right warrant the sup position that a collision between the two conflict ing parties is not far distant. ENGLISH CAMP, JULY 31. The siege continues to drag its slow length along without much variety of any kind whatever. The sapping against the Malakhoif and Redan continues to pro4ress, notwithstanding a tolerably heavy fir* kept up nearly every night against the working parties. The bright moonlight during the past week has been very unfavourable to the operations ; for, although it prevents sorties, it aids the enemy's artillery. nu reste, sorties have now ceased to excite any attention from anybody not engaged in repulsing them. They all present exactly the same features, are repulsed in exactly the same manner, and vary only in the number of casualties resulting from them. The manner in which the C.B.'s have been dis tributed has excited general dissatisfaction. In many instances, as usual on these occasions, it has been awarded to men who; if asked why they got it, would themselves be puzzled to tell ; but as the " adored deceit" has been scattered about with no niggard hand, I am persuaded few would feel annoyed by any piece of good luck that might fall to the lot of the undeserving. In England, as so ciety is constituted at present, on occasions of this kind merit alone cannot always be the only guide, because we are still far from acknowledging in our heart of hearts, whateyer people may say "in talking the matter over," that it is a man's only claim to distinction. There is by far too great a mass of "feelings" which must not be hurt, of in terest which must be consulted, and conveniences which must not be violated. And very few military men take exception to this. They do not feel so much dissatisfied that the undeserving should have been rewarded as that the deserving should have been passed over unnoticed. If you read over the C.B. list to any officer tolerably familiar with the career of those mentioned in it, you will find that he will place his finger upon some dozens who have, in his opinion, no right to be there, but whose distinction in this way he is not only ready to excuse, but even to approve, because they are good fellows, or somebody's brother, or anxious to do something, 47 C. The sins which meet with no pardon or indulgence are not those of commission but of omission ; and there can be no doubt that a very great number of men fully en titled to the most tempting bauble the authorities have at their disposal have been passed over un noticed. I have heard of one case in which an officer commanding a regiment, who has never been absent from it a single day since the war began, took part in Alma and Inkerman, never absent even once from duty in the trenches during all the horrors of last winter, and on a recent occasion was ho nourably mentioned by the Commander-in-Chief iu his despatches. has been passed over, while many have been decorated who were in one only of the two great battles of the war, and have seen little trench duty, or none whatever. I must add, at the same time, that a man's presence at Alma or Inkerman ought not to be t allowed retmhest. t o weigh is eThere so much in his favour as a steady and c o nti nue d per feoortmoanneceinof thehiswlodiultey in the army who would not prefer going into a pitched battle, with its change, its tumult, and its maddening excitement, and hav ing • the work over in three or four hours, to his twenty-four hours in the trendies, eaten by tile titified by the iteigh &II UlairebiStaK 444 but helpless mark for the enemy's artillery, and with mind and body on the rack, in all sorts of weather. I chink those who have gone through this regularly since the beginning of the siege had claim to an unmistakeable distinction ; those who had been present in the two battles next, and those who had gone through both, greater than any. This rule, however, has not been followed by any m,:ans, - aud the complaints in consequence are numerous. One of the Piedmouteso generals, whose name has escaped me, paid a visit, accompanied by some of General de Marmora's staff, to 'Eupatoria last week ; with wila,t object I have not been able to ascertain, but I am disposed to connect it with the rumours which have been afloat for some days past of the probable embarkation of the Sardinian army, in company with Omer Pacha's corps, for the purpose of carrying on- operations to the north. But this, after all, may be one of the many schemes projected day after day, and which die ere they have been many hours in existence. The Sardinians still entertain some ap prehensions of an attack on their position, but badly founded I should think. They have still a great number of cases of diarrhoea, but the deaths are comparatively few. Their contribution to the ge neral stock of amusement is very good music, as horse races is that of the English, and theatricals of the French. They have mass after the Austrian fashion every Sunday morning, at which the gene ral, his staff, and all the troops are present, as well as a goodly number of French and English, at tracted by the band. After the ceremonial the whole army "marches past," and the entertain ment was lengthened out last Sunday by some cavalry manoeuvres, which were performed admi rably ; the horses are small, but seem hardy and active, and the men ride wed. I should say, if the four squadrons which are here are ood specimens of the whole, in this arm of the service they are vastly superior to the French. The Chasseurs d'Afrique aro certainly better mounted, but then the men are too big and heavy for light cavalry ; and as regards the rest of the regiments out here, I hardly know what to call them, for anything so cumbrous, lumbering, clumsy, and good for no thing in the shape of horse-flesh I never saw men mounted on. The Sardinians have but one point in the formation of their light cavalry which we as well as the French have missed, that is, some sort of proportion between the men and the horses. They have not put giants on ponies, or a fifteen stone trooper on a horse sixteen hands high, and called a hussar. Their horses are as they should he—small, fleet, and manageable, and the rders are tight wiry fellows, handsomely and serviceably dress, d. I noticed that a good deal of skill has been displayed in contrasting the colours—such as the blue pennons and the white facings of the lan cers. The mass and review takes place on a piece of undulating ground close to C unara, overlooking the valley of the Teliernaya, and overl, , oked by the le•iglits of Mackenzie's Farm, so that from the trore ties on the plateau the Russians can enjoy a full view of the spectacle. In addition to tins, the hand plays on the same ground every evening from six till eight, and finds a large audience amongst the mass of weary mortals now in the Crimea, on whose hands ti me hangs like lead, and to whom good inu,ic is a rare treat. The Zouaves resumed last night their theatrical pet formances in their camp near Inkerman. The theatre is somewhat classical, in being in the open air, surrounded by a small dry stone wall ; the seats are simply banks of earth runnin g crosswise, and the stage is one end of a small hut, somewhat elevated above the pit, adorned by rudely painted scenery, representing young females amusing them selves with flowers, and a distant view of two trees and a pond. The band of one of the regiments was in attendance, and formed the orchestra. None but officers were admitted into " the body of the house,". or at least none else went iu, as those who did so were expected to pay something into the box at the entrance for the benefit of the wounded ; but a vast number of agile individuals from the ranks were crowded along the top of the wall, and intensely enjoyed the whole performance gratis. The "Salle" was lighted up by two big paper lanterns, stuck on the end of poles. Be tween those who were seated, and those who were standing, there were certainly not less than one thousand persons present. The, pieces played were the Permission de Dix iitures and La QuoQi;,. d'Orient. and +ho was certai.i. 7 excellent, vastly better than the average of that in the London theatres, where the efforts of one or two good performers are marred by the stu pidity of half-a-dozen absurd ones. All the parts were well played, the actors being private soldiers, who personated the women also, and did it to the life, from the wearing of the jape bouffante to the play of the hands and the tone of voice. La Permission , de Six Heures mainly displays the vari ous dodges by which a private soldier manages to outdo his Alsatian sergeant in winning the af fections of a pretty girl and throwing him into the a. ins of her ugly old aunt, who was madly in love with him, but whom he detested. Both private and sergeant were attired in .baud uniforms bor rowed gom the Connaught Rangers, but so braided and folded as to turn out, with the aid of a three cornered hat, something very like the uniform of an exempt of Louis XlV.'s time. There was a great deal of very broad joking, hut in a camp, and before such an audience, this went for nothing ; they were during the whole time in tears or laugh ter, though the voices of the performers were every minute almost drowned in the roar of the cannon, which were dealing death on the other k;ide of the hill. The night was calm and balmy ; a glorious Crimean moon silvered the light clouds as I never saw thew silvered before, except on papier macho articles ; and, after two very pleasant hours spent under her mellow light, in one of the most extraordinary scenes I ever witnessed, we walked back to the camp amidst crowds of soldiers, so silent and ord2rly that one might have taken them with short eyes for ohl ladies coining out of Exeter-hall, the performance having been concluded by a comic song in Norman patois, the refrain of which con sisted of t o groans and the exclamation Sapristi. Omer Paella was expected last night. The Duke of Newcastle is still here. The following latter was received in Wareham on Tuesday last " Camp before Sebastopol, July 23. " Dear Uncle and Aunt—/ embrace this opportunity of writing these few lines, hoping they will find you in good health, as it leaves nay brother and me—thanks be to God for his kindness towards ttq. I received your kind and welcome letter, and was very happy to hear that you are better. I never received the newspapers that you said you sent me. I suppose you heard about the failure on our part of the 18th. I gave all the particulars in my grandfather's letter. We have gained since then. We did not lose one inch of ground on the 18th. We took the graveyard, and we still hold it, and do not mean to lose it very easy. We are making another trench in front of our 4th, and now right under the enemy's guns, so we are gaining instead of losing ground. The Russians came out in great force last night on our right, but were received moat gallantly, and after half-an-hour's good fighting were driven back by the point of the bayonet with great loss. All was quiet then for about two hours, after which they made another attack on the graveyard, but our men were waiting for them and gave them a volley and then com , menced file firing, and when they came pretty close they ' jumped ever the trench and gave them the bayonet ; and they had to retreat the second time, and that is the time they lose their men. There are about 300 cannon firing at them, with shell and shot, as soon as they retreat, which is as our men get under cover. But. the Russians are not so particular, they fire right through the columns of their own men to get at ours, so when they retreat they are generally between two fires—that is, the fire of their guns as well as ours. We always like them to make the ' attack. We are under cover the first volley, and then we do eot wait lengl(only for the reserve) ; they are al ways in the next trench to us and they are not long in coming down. We are waiting very impat , ently to make another attack, and I think we will make up for the 18th. I have not heard the exact number of our loss. I conclude, with my love to all. " JOHN BARNES, 39th Regiment." THE ATTACK ON THE MEAN. The following is part of a letter from a young towns man of Aberdeen. He was, as sill be seen, one of the storming party, and, as he says, " should know" what took place on the occasion :-- "Camp before Seba , topol, July 16, 1855.

We MI in at midnight, and after a few words from our brave old colonel (Shadforth), we marched off. We had not got well into the batteries when I saw there was a screw loose ; instead , of quiet ness and regularity (for it was meant as a surprise), staff officers were shouting at the top of their voices, Stand clear, the stormers ;" This way, the men with the lad ders ;' Go to the left, the men with the woolsacks,' &c., Lc. Johnny Russ, of course, knew something was uF, for they could hear every word, and they opened a most tremendous fire of grape, shot, and shell - upon us, very soon silencing our staff gents. Well, we kept close, and on the look out for our signal, which was given just at daylight. Well, away we went by compa nies from the left, but by the time we got near the Re• dan there was hardly enough left to carry the ladders and woolsack to fill up the ditch. General Campbell was killed ; our poor colonel was, alas ! also killed by this time. Colonel Warre, of ours, then ordered us to find as good shelter as we could, and fire away. In the meantime he sent for reinforcements twice; but not a man was sent. Was it not provoking to lie as w e did (some in holes where a shell had exploded, some behind a big stone, ay, and some behind the dead bodies of their comrades), and see thousands of men, with Lord Raglan amongst them, within a few hundred yards of us,and not one sent to assist us ? To advance would have been madness, for we were reduced to a mere handful, and we could see the Russ well prepared for ten times our number. So the colonel very prudently ordered us to retire gradually; this was no easy matter. However, by 10 a.m., all that was left except 8 and Capt. Forsyth got into the trenches again —the 8 men did not get away till dark, for they were right under the chevaux de frise. I was left to see the wounded into a place of safety, and after a good deal of trouble I managed to get all sent in that I could reach ; and I returned myself, bringing Captain Snodgrass (General Campbell's aidode-samp) under my arm. I found him lying behind a stone, severely hurt ; and never did I see a more grateful look than I got from him, when I told him I would try and get him under cover. We reached camp about one o'clock, and between fatigue, excitement, and vexation I was knocked up. But I had nut got my belts off when I was sent for by Colonel Warre, complimented for my con duct, and though junior colour-sergeant in the regiment, appointed sergeant-major, vice Fallon killed. When I get properly installed in this situation, I will have much easier times than at preent, but I have yet to pay arid look after my company, arid do serjeant-major's duty beside ; and so I assure you I earn my bread by the sweat of my brow. These are a few of the incidents that came under my eye ; the same sort of thing took place I believe at each of the other points of attack, a hand ful of men attempting to do the work of thousands." • i'' SPORTING I NTIZLIGENCL TATTERSALL'S--SATuaD A T.

The programme of the week's sport is somewhat pet► plexing. It presents so many attractions and se iaanY claims upon consideration, that, to use a very irreverent simile, turfites will find themselves somewhat in the position of a donkey between two stacks of hay—they will not know which way to turn. Philosophers inform us that, if affected in an equal degree by a parching thirst and a raging hunger, the &seine quadruped would, if placed between water and food, die of actual starva tion, owing to his inability to decide which appetite he should gratify first. My clumsily•chosen simile, there fore, here loses its application, for sporting men will not doubtless be long in deciding on their course of action, for they, as well as women, who deliberate are lost. Many metropolitan turfites will doubtlesi assist at Wol ♦erhampton on Monday, and return to London in the evening, in order to be at Reading on Tuesday. Sport ing men belonging to the Midland counties will doubt le-s be the chief patrons of the meeting at the former place ; whilst the London division will be strongly re presented at the Berkshire gathering. I will briefly re fer to the events in the order in which they are ap pointed for decision. My first efforts will therefore be directed to the THE WA h NAVY-OUR LINE-('-BATTLE 811' PS. WINNERS FOR WOLVERHAUPTON.—The "prelude" poblished in The Sun of Saturday last contained my hints relative to the first day's racing, and their value or worthlessness will be determined before these notes meet the eye of the reader, by the decision of the encoun ters to which they referred. The proceedings on Tues day will commence at half-past two o'clock with the Patsbull Handicap. The probable starters for this., event are not at present " comeatahle,” but could I cal culate upon liriculew, Whitelock, and Postulant putting iu an appearance, I should have no hesitation in select ing them to fill th. foremost places.

The Navy List, doubtless as at present carefully compiled and corrected, is the best and safest authority ; but in the following lists will be found not only all that is accurate in the Navy List, but much additional and important information, differently ar ranged, and brou g ht d own to a later date than the last official publication.

READING MADE EAST.—The pleasant little race meet• Log at Reading owes it popularity as much to good mAnagement as to its advantageous locality. It is held in " training district," and is within so convenient a dis t tance of London that it has of late years commanded unusual attendance of all sorts and conditions of leeple. Arrangements have been made for giving in reased accommodation to visitors, the creation of a new ad commodious stand being the principal improvement. lie supply and character of the sport is likely to be qUally satisfactory. Eleven acceptances are appended to the Berkshire Stakes, Le Juit being now the top weight. The handl mpper here has certainly treated him with more leniency ;han the authorities at Brighton. He now possesses a thance of winning, and I am inclined to place some trust. n him. Should Homily start, however, I shall regard ler pretensions to success with the warmest partiality. Flyaway and Ceres will perhaps run first and second for Id Abbey Stakes. For the Berkshire Hunt Stakes I ;ball " cap" to Michaelmas Maid. The Reading Stakes will doubtless be carried off by Ceres, whose speed over a half-mile course is extraordinary. Hothorpe and Lucy Lockit are entitled to the priurity of consideration for, the Innkeepers' Stakes. Loon OUT AT LUDLOW.—Mr. Frail, of Shrewsbury, will try his fortune on Thursday and Friday next at Ludlow, where a fair share of success is likely to attend them. He has issued an attractive programme, but the clashing of his meeting with the gatherings near London will produce a somewhat damaging effect on his under taking. Mr. Topham will give Lewes another trial on Thursday and Friday, but his efforts to get up a popular meeting in that locality have evidently failed. A little go, gathering, too, will " come off" on Friday at Tun- .ridge. Suould time permit, 1 will send some "Notes" -eflpecting Ludlow, Lewes, and Tunbridge, from Wol verhampt.m, where I shall be located long before the reader is in possession of the Notions of Birmingham.

A place had been kept for them at the end of the room, and as they walked to it, be tween the two tables, every one turned round and stared at the lady, and something very like a hiss was beard. However, they stated themselves ; but before dinner was over, the general attention and the very audible remarks made were too much for her. She was very young, and coloured very much. She and her husband rose and lett the table.

The Mars, Centurion, and Brunswick were built as sailing ships, like the Majestic, Colussus, and others ; and it was upon the successful result of fitting the latter vessels that the Admiralty de termined to apply screw-engines also to the Mars, &c., the cost being merely that of the machinery, no such ex tensive and expensive alterations being required as those incurred in converting the old ships Blenheim, Hogue, aid Ajax.
