The deficiency of Hotel accommodation in India, China, and other places in the East to which Eut opeans now resort in large and annually increasing numbers, is a subject of general compl-int ; and it is evident that the development of the means of transii, by ocean and river steamers, and by railways, which has been in rapid progress now for some years, must imperfectly frdfil all Ps important objects, so far as European intercourse : with the East is cone:rued, until this want is adequately supplied. In England, and or, the centinent of Europe, it is now an ascertained fact thP.t the joint-stock system may most suc cessfully be appli ed to the establishment of Hotels of the first class. If Pais be so where good private Hotels before existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt that an ee t ual degree of commercial success is attainable by the application of capital, upon the same system, to the same object, in countries where, though the demand is great and increasi ng, it may almost be said that good private Hotels do not exist. In Calcutta a joint-stack company has lately purchased and undertaken the management of an Hotel, and the pro spects of the entererise, as a commercial speculation, may be. inferred from th e very - hi gh premium at which their shares are quoted in the Calcutta market, see "Times" July 17, the "Englishman's Weekly Mail" of June 8,1863, and "Allen's Indian Mail," viz., £25 paid, present value, ..£424 ex div.,' equal to 70 per cent. premium, and the payment of a dividend of 10 per cent. for the ball-year ending 30th April last, equal ito 20 per cent. per emnum. Bombay offers a wide field for the establishment of an Hotel of a first class character. The early completion of vast lines of railway converging in the island of Bombay, and the more frequent steam communica tion between that pert and Europe which will soon tak place, must - eery ranch increase the demand for such accom modation. The same may be said of Madras. It is , :nder these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels Compa''.ry (Limited) is established, in the confident belief that the ar,plication of European capital to India in this form will not ',ie less profitable than useful. It is proposed, in the first instance, to supply the urgent requirements of Bombay and Point de Galle. There are equally importa places which will naturally engage the early attention e Company, g tc h such for example a s M a d ras , Si nga p ore, and urrachee ; not - to speak of many very important railway stations in the in terior of India, where there are now no Hotels at all, and where, at a comparatively small outlay, there is a large field for profitab e opeiations. The largerelass of the Company's Hotels will afford all the conveniences of the best European Hotels, adapted to the climate, and to the habits of those for whom they are in tended ; whilst, in even the smallest class, the health and comfort of the inmates will be carefully studied. It is intended to constitute local committees of management in each Presidency where Hotels may be established. In the event of two-thirds of the first issue of shares not being subscribed for, no allotment will take place, and the deposits will be returned to the subscrib rs, without deduc tion. It is proposed to pay to shareholders 5 per cent. Interest upon the capital as paid up, until the first dividend is de clared. Prosprictuses and forms of application for shares may be had on application to the Bankers, the Broker, or the Secre tary. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To be retained by the Bankers.

THE MARQUIS OF NORMANBY. There died yesterday morning a gentleman of whom we desire to speak kindly, though we must also siDeak of him truly. Lord Normanby, who has now, after 60 :, - ears of life, closet' his eyes in death, owed the chit .f success of his eminently prosperous career principally to his social qualities. He was a man to like; it was pleasant to be in his company. This implies certain qualities of head and heart which are not to be undervalued, and which we do not overlook when we attribute his success in life almost etoirely to his good manners. Everybody liked him—nobody cen well say - why. i n good nature and good-humour, the pleasant manner, the cheery smile, the ready hand, there is an indefinable Melbourne hand and foot, chem. It bound Lor d M and he could never untieratand why he was always obliged to give everything he asked to Lord Nor manby. Behold the value of a stniLe ; behold the advantage of manner. It earned a Marquisate, it earned the Garter, it earned the Lord -Lieutenancy of Ireland, it earned two Secretaryship of State, it earned the Embassy to Paris. Constantine Henry Phipps was born is May, 1791, and was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. The first public view we have of him is in 1818, when barely of age. He then entered Parliament as member for Scarborough, and in his politics he displayed the originality of youth. Though thesewere Tory days, and though his family were decided Tories, Lord Normanby, like Sir James Graham, came forth as a Whig, and more than a Whig—almost a Radical. A strong literary tendency, which afterwards showed itself in novels and various other works, perhaps directed his choice, for these were days when Byron was the god of our poetry, and the youthful admirer of Byron's poetry would be certain to lean towards the poet's politics. His maiden speech was in fa vour of Catholic Emancipation. In his next speech he seconded resolutions in favour of Par liamentary reform, proposed for the first time by Lord John Russell. After this, however, he re signed his seat and retired to Italy. The reason commonly given is that owing his seat to the influ ence of his family in Scarborough, and differing from them in politics, his position was not altogether sa tisfactory. In 1822 he returned to the House of Commons as member for Higham Ferrers ; still later he represented Malton, and during his career in the Lower House he continued to support the advanced Whigs, finally joining with them in sup port of Mr. Canning. In 1831 his father (who had been a Secretary of State under Pitt) died, and Vis count Normanby became known as Earl of Mul grave. In the following year the Whigs sent him to Jamaica as Governor; in the next year he re turned to England to succeed Lord Carlisle as Lord Privy Seal; and in the next he went to Ireland as Lord Lieutenant. His reception in the sister island was enthusiastic; his reign was popular; and O'Connell declared ho was the best Englishman that Ireland had ever seen. This seems to be great praise, but perhaps it does not mean much. Lord Mulgrave was, in O'Connell's eyes, not merely Lord Mulgrave, but the representative of Whig principles from which great things were to be expected. Be- , fore the emancipation of the Catholics every Vice 7 roy was in his eyes more or less a tyrant. Still, let us give to Lord Mulgrave all the praise due to his pleasant manner and brilliant social qualities. He captivated the Irish, and was made a marquis for his success. Before long, however, his Irish policy was found to be unsound, the country could not be governed by smiles alone, and he was called to London to see if he could not exert some of his fas cination in Parliament, when Lord Melbourne's Government was every day becoming weaker. He became Secretary for the Colonies in 1839, and in few months afterwards passed to the Home-office. The Whigs were stranded in 1841, and Lord Normanby was unemployed till, in 1346, Lord John Russell came into power. Then he was appointed AMbassador to Paris, in which post he remained till the spring of 1852. It was a most eventful period; it was the period of the Spanish marriages, of the French Revolution, of the coup d'etat. In the affair of the Spanish marriages England was outwitted. We need hardly now ask who was to blame. We are only reminded that, in the cross-fire of recrimination which that business called forth, M. Guizot on one occasion contested the accuracy of Lord Normanby's report of a con versation, and said of our Ambassador—" Il eat bon enfant, mais it ne comprend pas notre langue." Of the events of the Revolution Lord Normanby after+ wards gave some account in two volumes, which; though diffuse in style, are not uninteresting. With regard to the coup d'etat he has stated that Lord Palmerston's approval of that act led to an eternal severance between himself and his diplomatic chief. Exactly two months after the event Lord Normanby ceased to represent our Government in Paris. 11l health was said to be the reason of his giving up the post, and ill-health may well have been coincident with differences of opinion. Lord Normanby was not again employed till 1854, when he was appointed by Lord Aberdeen to the Lega tion at Florence, where he remained till the return of the Tories to power, and the accession of Lord Malmesbury to the Foreign-office. Lord Malice bury would not wait for the slow action of the post; ha recalled Lord Normanby from Tuscany by tele graph, yet when he returned to this country he took his seat beside Lord Malmesbury and steadily opposed his old friends who had gone through fire and water to support him. Just before the down fall of Lord Palmerston's first Administration Lord Clarendon had to defend him against charges based on his notoriously Austrian tendencies While at Florence. It must have been a hard task for Lord Clarendon to defend the Tuscan Minister, but . he was to defend him, and he had his reward ; for that Minister's first act after his return to England ast to oppose his late chief, who had stood by him man parasis fully. It is not pleasant to record suichhot hin gsly, and we know of nothing to excuse it which had for years partially disabled_we will think t h h a i s n o of w suddenly carried him away , and but as he was in him not as he appeared at the last, his prime.— Times.

It is officially announced that the G overn . ment will sustain the enforcement of the draft with military force. This determination, announced this afternoon, it is supposed will cause the renewal of still bloodier riots. Governor Seymour and the Democratic press are opposed to the draft as unconstitutional, whilst the Republican press insists that it must be carried cut at all hazards. Tho Republican and Democratic journals are becoming more vituperative in their mutual abuse, each party accusing the other of being responsible for the riots. This course is inflaming the public mind and adding to the danger. Andrews, one of the leaders of the mob, has been arrested. The New York 7th Militia Regiment is on duty against the rioters. President Lincoln has ordered the 2d of August to be set apart as a day of thanksgiving for victories so eiffective and signal as to furnish reasonable grounds for augmented confidence that the Union and the constitution will be preserved, and that peace and prosperity will be permanently main tained. General Banks officially reports the unconditional surrender of Port Hudson on the Bth inst. Unofficial advices state that the garrison of Port Hudson numbered 7,000, with 35 field pieces, 25 siege-guns, and 10,000 stand of arms. Later Vicksburg advices report General Sherman to be still pursuing General Johnstone, Getierul Meade's army changed its position yesterday. Tho Federal cavalry has captured 100 prisoners in the rear of General Lee's army, near Charleston, Virginia. General Morgan has reached George town, Ohio. Federal gunboats with a large force have left Cincinnati to prevent Morgan from crossing tho Ohio river. It is semi-officially announced that the question of peace has not come before the Washington Cabinet, no condition of affairs having yet existed rendering it necessary to entertain so important c proposition. The Cabinet is agreed that the best way to obtain peace is to prosecute the war vigorously. NEw YORK, July 18 (Morning). The reported capture of Charleston is untrue. General Lee's army was yesterday at Front Royal. Lee is said to be marching to Richmond. The Richmond Enquirer sys the capture of Vicksburg, Bragg's retreat, Lee's repulse, and the attack on Charleston, are the most serious disinters that have attended the Confederate arms since the commencement of the war. General Neal Dow has arrived at Richmond as a prisoner. All persons in the South refusing to take up arms are to be sent out of the Confederacy. Letters from Charleston of the 12th state that five iron-clads and 15 gun boats are off Fort Sum ter. Ten gun boats, ono 40-gun frigate, and the new ironsides, were passing the bar. The Federal batteries on Morris Island would take part in the bombardment of Fort Sumter. General Morgan has sacked Jackson, Ohio. He is reported to be hemmed in by the Federals. The United States Circuit Court has reversed the decision of the lower court condemning the barque Express, the judge deciding that a vessel may ap proach a blockaded port to ascertain the state of the blockade, provided she does so in good faith. New York is now nearly perfectly quiet. Archbishop Hughes has addressed a concourse of 5,000 persons in front of his residence. He told them they were called rioters, but he could not see a riotous face amongst them, if they were Irishmen, as their enemies said the rioters were. He was an Irishman, but not a rioter. He recommended them to keep quiet, though in case of a violent assault upon their rights without provocation every m an had a right to defend his house or his church with his life. The speaker several ti mes alluded i n v i o l en t terms to England , saying..... i, He did not env y John Bull in re p laci ng a noble population by a race of fat b ullocks. Irel and , " he said , ,c was th e - mo ther of heroes and poets, but perhaps they might t hi n k his remarks were blarney." One of the spec tators observed that history proved what he said, to which the archbishop replied, " Of course." The archbishop ha s a l so addressed a letter to the NewN, w York I,ork HTreribauldn,ea stigmatisingand dthe E veni n g the remarks of the venin o g P ing himself as li es, and declaring n o g s I abouteo concern ing r n the t that the editors of those pape rs have contributed present national an d municipal difficulties. really The Republican press argue that the riots in New rebellion,part and parcel of the Southern York are conditions the democratic press assert While ob noxious the El of the draft to be the sole cause. NEYORK, ly 18, Evening. The riots i n this c ity have Ju materially subsided. The Government will enforce the draft. The capture of Port Hudson has been officially confirmed. THE GREEN MOROCCO Box.—lt was from the hands of the Marquis de Gallifet, who so nearly lost his life at Puebla by the bursting of a bombshell, that the Emperor received , a few days ago, at Vich y , the five standards and thirteen pennants taken from the enemy at the capture of.

No cloud overshadows the House similar to that of last year, the genial rain has had a most beneficial tffect on the ground, while the items of sport, 33 in number, are so well appor tioned that each day has its separate and individual interest to commend it. After the glut of provincial meetings which the last two months have given us, with quantity rather than quality as the leading feature of so many, one turns with a degree of relief to the Goodwood programme, feeling assured that, come what may, " to chronicle smal beer" will not be our lot. The adjacent towns are all full to overflowing, Brighton, Chichester, Bognor, and Worthing all having their due share of visitors. The party at thel House is a large and distinguished one, including the Ear and Countess of Chesterfield, the Earl of Glasgow, Lord Newport, Lord Hamilton, the Earl of Westmoreland, Mr Greville, Mr. Payne, &c. Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar receives his guests at Molecombe. Lord Leconfield also entertains a circle at Petworth, and scarcely a house but has its quota of visitors. The stand was full, but not over crowded; it struck us we had seen greater numbers on the Tuesdays of past years. The ladies mustered ae of y ore on the bank under the trees ; their gay toilettes, it need scarcely be said, forming a beautiful relief to the dark foliage. The principal items of the day's racing were the Ham Stakes, the Stewards' Cup, the Gratwicke, and the Levant, For the once important Ham Stakes, so celebrated for bringing together the best 2-year-olds of the year, only three put in an appearance, the Mcostissima filly winning with perfect ease. The Gratwicke excited much interest fcom the appearance of Zapateado, a favourite for the Stakes ; sto 4 was laid on him, but he disappointed his backers, running unkindly, it struck us, and declining to answer to Edwards's call, who seemed afraid to touch him until near home. Clarior won with ease. The Stewards' Cup brought 29 to the post to contend for this handsome prize —a group in silver representing Queen Mary in her state robes, mounted, attended by a page, and hounds in the background. It is the design of Mr. Mar shall Wood, and emanates from the well-known establish ment of Hancock. Its destination was Badminton, and the success of that popular nobleman, the Duke of Beaufort, gave universal satisfaction. The Lavant was carried off by an outsider from the Woodyeates stable, not mentioned in the betting. The weather was superb. _ _ _ The Craven Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added, for 3- yr-olds and upwards, weight for age, with selling allow ances. If not for sale to carry 71b extra.

Rogers) 5 Betting-7 to 4on Waterwitch, 6to 1 agst General Hess, and 8 to 1 agst Gunner. General Hess, with Xurullo at his girths, got away in advance, having Bosh in immediate attendance, with the favourite and Gunner following side by side. Half way up the hill the favourite quitted his rearward position, and ran into the second place, and, rounding the bend, he joined General Hess, the pair coming on in company to the dis tance, when the former dropped back, leaving Watorwitch with a slight lead of Bosh. The pair, half way in the cords, were joined by Gunner, who got his head in front at the en closure, and won cleverly by half a length ; Bosh finished a bad third. Xurullo was claimed by Mr. Bryan. The Ham Stakes of 100 sous each, h ft, for colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b. The owner of the second horse to receive 200 sous out of the stakes. T.Y.C. 20 subs.

Sharpe) 3 Betting 5 to 4 on the Mcestissima filly, and 2 to 1 agat Izaak Walton. The latter got away in advance and made play, with Mirage on his left and the favourite closely laid up next the rails. They ran thus to half way in the distance, when Edwards brought up the favourite, and won in a canter by a length. Mirage finished third, a length and a half in the rear. The Gratwicke Stakes of 100 sovs each, h ft; for colts, B st 101 b, and fillies Sat 51b (31b. and 61b allowed). The se cond horse to receive 200 sovs, and the third to save his stake.

Adams) 3 Betting 5 to 4 on Zapateado, and 6 to 4 agst Clarior. The favourite cut out the work at his best pace, followed by Curie and Clarior in the order we have given to the far turn, where Edwards sot his horse going, and was two or three lengths in advance on re-appearing in sight. Half way up the hill Clarior beaded Curie, and came on in the wake of the favourite to the enclosure, where he went up, and won with consummate ease by two lengths. Curie was a bad third. Immediately after the race 100 to 3 was offered against Zapateado for the Goodwood Stakes.

Shortly after the time set down Mr. M'George got his horses in command, and after one or two slight breaks away despatched them from the post, the lot, widely spread, com ing over the hiil nearly in a straight line, in the centre of which the colours of Mr. Naylor's pair were clearly seen in advance, having Amazonian on their extreme right, with Lady Clifden, Entremet, Lord Burleigh, Cheerful, and Muezzin on the left, this lot forming the leading division, with others, headed by Polynesia, Mr. Ten Broeck's three (close together), Exchequer, and Birdhill, the latter, lying next the sails to the left, following in close company. At the foot of the hill Biondella and Fravola gave way, and the running was immediately taken up by Entremet, lying in the centre, closely attended by Lady Clifden, Amazo.. nian, Cheerful, and Dolphin on her right, Muezzin, with Birdhill and Polynesia, being her adherents to the left. In this way they ran in close company to half way in the rails, when Mr. Saxon's filly was beaten, and shortly after Lady Clifden gave evidence of defeat, and was passed in succes sion by Birdhill, who had been twice disappointed in get. ting through, and Dolphin, the three racing together to the finish, Birdhill getting up in the centre of the Stand, and winning cleverly by halt a Length, three -quarters of a length separating the second and third, Lady Clifden was fourth, Cheerful fifth, Muezzin sixth, Polynesia seventh; then came Lord Burleigh, Amazonian and Keane, who headed a lot of pulling up horses.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. accompanied by th e The Lords of the Admira lt y , t h e controller's department of officials comprising the navy, and that of the engineering and architec tural works, 10 in number, made their half-y ear l y inspection at Woolwich yes terday. Arrivin g a t th e dockyard at half-past 10 o'clock they were rec e i ve d by the Commodore Superintendent , Sir F. Nicol son, o C B and the heads of d epa rtments. A guar d of honour, furnished by the Royal Marines in com mand of Capt. Fraser, together w ith the band an d consisted of hi s colours, was in attendance, and performed the usual ceremonies.

Hall, private Mr. Reed, s ecretary to the First Lo r d, h ear -Ad m i ra l R obinson, controller, and chief constructor of the navy, and Col. G reene , di rec t or o f wor k s . They commenced the inspection by visiting the Commodore's offices and overlooking the accounts of the department. They passed thence through the g eneral stores, the smitheries, an d p l a t e -b en di ng s heds, and went on . board th e C a l edon i a, where they re mained upwards of half-an-hour, inspecting with marked interest the progress of the ship towards comp le tion and h im p r ovements which h ave b e en made since their last visit to the yard. The sides o f the Caledonia, the armour -pl at i ng of which is near ly completed, also underwent a rigid examination, and the work obtained app arently an unqualified appro val. The whole party then proceeded t o an i ns pection of the corvette Wolverine, nearly ready to be launched, passed throu g h t h e b oat-house, andreturning along the wharf th e y v i s i ted the shed where t h e Cale donia was launched, and entered into arrange ments for layi ng down the hull of one of the iron i vessels about to bo commenced in that yard. Cross ing the p ara d e they proceeded to the basins, and inspected the working of Robert's new steam fire : engine, which h a d b een brought down to - W oo , wich by their lordships' desire to be tested with a view of purchasing a number of the engines for use in Devonport, and other of her Majesty's dockyards. As the caisson has been removed pending the works at the mouth of the basin, their lordships were under the necessity of making a complete tour so as to arrive at the spot where the engine was at play. The jet of water was throw n perpendicularly, ac cording to measurement, over a height of 188 ft. Their lordships examined the engine with much care, and made various inquiries as to their capa bilitiee. Returning to the eastern end of the yard their lordships went on board th e new iron steam troopship Tamar, 2,812 tons, 500-horse power, launched in January at Millvvall. After an inspeul tion of the Tamar, they partook of luncheon with the Commodore Superintendent , and the Duke of Somerset and Capt.

Cambridge University Observatory. It appears that the meridian observations made at this establishment during the past 12 months com prise, in addition to those of the fundamental stars, observations of the stars which were used for com parison with comet 2, 1861, and comet 2, 1862 ; obser vations of the sun near the summer and winter sols tices, and the autumnal and vernal equinoxes ; obser vations of the planets Jupiter and Neptune, and circle observations of Mars and of the stars selected by Dr. Winnecke to be compared with the planet in declination, with a view to the determination of its parallax. The total number of transit observa tions since the date of the last annual report is 924, and the number of circle observations 656. The equatorial observations comprise a series of observa tions of comet 2, 1862, and comets 2 and 3, 1863, and a series of comparisons in R.A. between Mars and neighbouring stars, taken on both sides of the meridian, according to the plan described by the Astronomer Royal in the monthly notice. Charts drawn on a large scale were prepared of all the stars near the path of Mars, which was contained in Dr. Argelander's valuable survey of the northern heavens, and the stars of comparison were selected from these. The weather was unfavourable during the course of these observations, so that, although they were made on 20 different nights, not more than seven sets of corresponding morning and evening observations could be ob tained, in which 49 comparisons were taken on the eastern and 48 on the western side of the meri dian. The total number of those comparisons of Mars with neighbouring stars amounts to 192, of which 124 were taken on the eastern and 68 on the western side of the meridian. A few observations have been made of occultations of stars by the moon and of eclipses and other phenomena of Jupiter's satellites. Several new arrangements have been made in reference to some of the instruments. The old lever counterpoises of the transit instruments were removed some years since by Professor Challis, and were replaced by spring counterpoises in order to allow the use of micrometer microscopes adjusted for viewing dots placed on the end of the pivots so as to afford means of eliminating any errors arising from the form of the pivots. The spring, counter. poises, however, acted in an unsatisfactory man ner, as the pressures which they exert are con tinually varying with changes of temperature. Professor Adams has therefore removed them and restored the lever counterpoises; the apparatus for examining the form of the pivots may now be used, however, while the counterpoises ere in action, The pendulum of the transit clock has been put in good order. In consequence of the varying length and weight of the declination, rods of the Northumber land equatorial corresponding to different north polar distances, a series of adjustable weights has been introduced, by means of which, for any given value of north polar distance, the instrument may be very nearly balanced in all positions. Tour new verniers have also been introduced, for reading off the hour circle of this instrument. Some to render it altera tions have been made at the eye-end Nor thumberland telescope, in order id of view, • • a larger field pos sible to use eye-pieces, giving of the and a small position circle hasbeen applied to the means of measuring finder, so as to give the approximately angles of position. equatorial being dismounten, .or the purpose of being examined, several of the springs which relieve the pressu re on the lower picot i On the Jones .pivot wer e found to be brok en, which materially interfered with the frecoai of m o . tiod of the instru men t about its polt--r axis.
