This Company is established for the purpose of purchasing the property and continuing the business of the well known. Oxford anti Canterbury Music Halls, so successfully con ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for several years pa-t. The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the public, are not inviting subscriptions to an unknown or un tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative undertaking:, and one which, with the additional means at the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still more so. An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together with the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on terms highly advantageous to the Company, and in order to show his confidence in its future success, he has subscribed for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for some years the manager. It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate, and thus materially add to the present large returns. There is also an excellent private wine trade attached to both establishments, which is capable of considerable extension. I t is imossible to show, with cetaint by any sttistics the returns whioh may b ee _ expected from the present a under , taking, but the certified accounts for the last three years show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the whole amount of capital, wh chit is contemplated eventually to call up, The present average attendance at the Oxford and Canter bury Music Halls is about 60,000 a month, and the proposed extension of business will doubtless render the profits of the undertaking still more remunerative than ever. One-half of the capita has been already applied for, and applications for the remainder should be made to the bankers of the Company, accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share ; if no allotment be made the deposit will be returned. Pros, ectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Oxford and the Canterbury, at the Brokers, and at the Temporary Offic s of the Company. The Share List will close on Tuesday, 26th July, 1864. FPHE HUDIKSVALL and FORSSA STEAM SAWING MILL COMPANY (Limited).

THE RACE FOR THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE HANDICAP, The following threatening letter was received by Mr E. Braylcy, the owner of the Pearl Diver, at Nottingham, yesterday, and handed to our reporter. The writer of the cowardly effusion, however, was saved the trouble of carry ing his threat into execution, and Mr Brayley would have treated the matter with the contempt it deserves but for the reason that thO publicity given to the circumstance in our columns might put the ruffianly writer to shame; or better still, possibly lead to his detection:— "To Mr Brayley. "SIR,—If you dont run your Pearl Diver straight in tho Nottingham Handicap to-morrow and win (which you can) look out for your last visit to the racecourse. "Come, it's all over with you; the milking must be stopped.—Prom "A VICTIM VERY DEEPLY TAKEN IN. "They'll all have it, if not run straightforward. "Nottingham.

HOWELL, JAMES, and CO., Goldsmiths to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, 5,7, 0, Regent street, Pall-Mall, S.W. THE WIMBLEDON MEETING, Yesterday there were two events of main interest to the public apart from those results affecting the general body of Volunteers. These were the issue of the contest for the Queen's Prize, and the match for the Ashburton Shield between the representae tives of the public schools. The former was not decided until close upon the hour when the evening gun was fired, and the excitement connected with it was something unusual, in consequence of the rumour, which gained a general circulation for two hours, that Colonel Helford had made a score which there was no likelihood of beating. Twenty. four of the competitors retired from the contest, and of the remainder who had to fire it was be.. lieved that, though they might strive among them selves for the honour of second place, none of them had any chance of winning. Great, therefore, was the surprise when it became known that Private Wyatt, of the Ist London Rifle Brigade, had first equalled and then beaten by one point the capital score of the Colonel of the Leicester Regiment. The news seemed to spread like wildfire to the camp of the Ist London ; his comrades were either round the firing-point at the time Private Wyatt delivered his last shot, or else arrived immediately afterwards, and set up such loud and continued shouts of rejoicing that some of the other compe titors who had still to fire complained afterwards, though without much show of reason as far as the scores were concerned, that their chance of success was prejudiced by the turmoil. As soon as the con test had finally concluded Mr. Wyatt was caught up and borne towards the Council-tent on the shoulders of his friends, cheering lustily as they carried him in, additional zest being edled to their victory by the fact that it was gained over one of the most distinguished rifle-shots in England. As the procession neared the offices of the Association a carriage was perceived close at band, containing, by a fortunate coincidence, the Colonel of the London Rifle Brigade and Lady Waree. The successful competitor was at once carried in the direction of his commanding officer, and in the same flattering but somewhat unsteady seat he received the congratulations to which his performance well entitled him. He was then whisked off to the Council Tent to comply with the usual formalities, and ultimately borne away in triumph to the guar.. ters of his regiment in the Associated Camp. Although the contest was so exciting, the average shooting for the Queen's Prize was by no means so meritorious as on former occasions. This result is by some ascribed to the fact that the Volunteers shot this year independently, instead of in squads, military men insisting that by moving about and by conversation w ith their friends their attention was distracted, instead of concentrated, as it ought to have been, on the work in hand. Others are disposed to attribute the comparative failure to the quality of Whitworth rifles supplied this year, which were by no means of that superior stamp implied in the very name of Whitworth. At a general parade of the competitors for the second stage Queen's after gun-fire several of the rifles were produced and admitted to be faultless, but instances, on the other hand, were adduced where sights had fallen off and locks were so defective in construction that when the piece was at full cock and the trigger pulled the hammer caught again at half bent and the piece did not go off. Friends of Mr Whitworth urged that the price of the rifle having been reduced to £l5, a high-class weapon could not be expected for that sum. But, on the other hand, Mr Whitworth was a consenting party to the arrangement, and at the small-bore trials at Woolwich bound himself to furnish weapons in every respect equal to those of which samples were lodged with the Association. It is evident that the matter cannot remain on its present footing. In future contests better rifles must either be supplied to the competitors or else some redistribution of the prize money made, enabling them to equip themselves. Just at the present moment, when the whole subject of national armament is notoriously under conside ration, it is peculiarly unfortunateithat such a con tretemps should occur. The Public Schools Match was shot at the ex treme northern ranges—rather an unfortunate arrangement as far as spectators . were concerned, who had no tramway in that direction to save them a toilsome walk under a sun hotter by many degrees than on any former day of the meeting., But there was no help for it. The school elevens were unable to attend on the day originally suggested for their competition, and yesterday the long-range firing for the second stage of the Queen's Prize closed all the ranges at the nearer side of the common at which it would otherwise have been possible to hold the match. In the end, Harrow was again the conqueror, A contest, to which the recent decision of Earl de Grey's Committee attaches considerable import ance, will take place to-day for the prizes offered in the name of Mr Storm. These prizes may be com peted for with any muzzle or breech-loading rifle taking Government ammunition, but the cartridges must not contain their own igniting principle. The competitors are to load and fire lying down, the use of a rest being optional; in one competition the object is to make the highest number of marks in four consecutive minutes, and for the other set of prizes only two consecutive minutes are allowed. A competition somewhat similar in principle to this was carried on in the form of a sweepstakes, partly yesterday and in part on a previous day, at Capt. M'Gregor's favourite target of " the corning man." In the former instance the highest score made in two minutes were the following :—Drane, London Rifle Brigade, with Storm's breech loader, 13 shots 4 marks ; Hodgins, Ist Surrey, with Storm's breech loader, 10 rounds, 4 marks ; H. G. Ross, Cambridge, with Westley Richards's breech loader, 9 rounds, 4 marks. Yesterday, strange to s ay, the firing at the ;same target appeared to give the advantage to the Enfield muzzle loading rifle Oyer any of the breech lehdero. it is, therefore, of the last consequence that the question sh ould be fully and fairly tried out, and the field at amble. don affords an admirable opportunity for do. in g so. We are authorised to state that the distro ation of prizes will take place on Saturday, at 3 o' , ,:tlt tek. EERATA.—In the 4th Series, Extra PrEz , !s, yes terdoy, J. A.

Royal Agricultural Show at Newcastle. NEWCASTLE-O\-TYNE, Tuesday. Eighteen years ago the society's show-yard aeon ' pied somewhat over a dozen acres of its present site. but now the eye-proof hoarding encircles about 45 acres, without wasting at all too much space for perambulating crowds between the interminable rows of shedding. It is no easy walk to call upon the honorary director, Mr Brandreth Gibbs, drop into the secretary's office in another part of the ground, step into the bull park, where the machi nery is in motion, and then thread one's way across the great enclosure to the horses' ring, or the " first class refreshments." Bigger than it was, and with greater facilities and accommodations of every kind —with chairs on which to loiter, a telegraph to take your news, and police-constables from the Imperial Parliament itself to keep eager ladies and gentle men in order, we wish the place could be a little prettier. If gay red fringes or striped cloth be too dear, at any rate the society might empower Mr Manning to grace his booths with clusters of chuer ful flags. We may borrow an ornamental idea from the Bath and West of England Society if we cannot afford to be smart like the French at their rural gatherings. We have here 380 cattle, 160 horses, more than 400 pens of sheep, and 130 pens of swine—a large increase, indeed, since the Newcastle meeting of 1846, when there were shown about half the num-. ber of cattle, one-third the number of horses, and about l?alf the number of sheep. And we have herd 4,000 implements and machines, instead of the 73ii shown 18 years ago. The society's funds are 1 1 3 L . doubtedly flourishing; the average country meet ilag receipts during the last five years (excluding 'the exceptional Battersea) have amounted to 1:9,',3 91, while five years before they averaged £5,177 ; five years before that they averaged £4,642 . ; and. fi ve years earlier still they averaged £4,134. But t'ae so ciety has not maintained its progress i❑ every re spect for at the time of the last Newcastle meeting there were 6,970 members, subscribing £7,040 per e innum, whereas at !present the society can only cor.,gratn• late itself upon the " steady support" of 4,879 members, the average number during the laf;t five sears. If the free admission of members on the .I.os. day and other advantages recently obtained are followed up by bold measures calculated to w - n the goodwill of the great farming class, we shall soon hear no more of such a left-handed style of exten sion and advancement. Among the cattle classes the Shorthorns are the wonder of the Show, and the most astonishing class is that of aged cows of this breed. The entire cy.:ass of 13 animals is "generally commanded," but the judges also awarded two "high commendations" to cows but little inferior to those taking the third and second prizes. Sir Matthew White Ridley's Evelina IV. is an extremely fine cow; level, broad, deep, of great girth, handsome, and with a good coat. Mr Douglas's Maid of Athelstaue is another extraordinary good cow, and Mr Stratton awl Mr Edward newly contribute to this splendid class animals fully equal in merit to some of the prize takers of past years. In the heifer class 'Kr l)ou• glass takes the first prize with his pretty Pride of ~lthelstane, beating Mr Lambert's Queen of Beauty and Mr Stratton's Diadem. Mr Eastwood's B armp ton Butterfly, of the Tewneley -park herd, is not placed, being evidently out of condition. The yearly heifers make a largo and grand class, Mr East wood's Royal Butterfly Pageant, king third to Mr l`rlitcheli's Blue Belle, end Mr FoTimbe's beautiful Gipsey Queen. Mr Richard Booth's Lady Fra grant is highly commended in this class. Sir Anthony de Rothschild wins in the heifer calf class with his Isabella Graceful, beating Lord Fever sham and Mr Douglas. The judges have been profuse with commendations on nearly all the short horn classes, irrespective altogether of any fashion able fancying of nothing but Bates and Booth blood, and no one will question the justice of this liberality. There are some fine yearling bulls in a remarkably good class. Among the bull calves Mr Fawkes is the winner, with bis little Marquis, an animal of. great size for its age, and of a good red colour, but not of great substance or expanded frame, and no•; with a first-rate coat. Mr Booth's second prize calf is much admired, and Lord Braybrooke and Mr liar , rot show some very forward and pretty animals, in this class. Of the aged and two-year•old bulls we spoke yesterday. The show of agricultural horses is small, hut Mr Cottingham's Talbot, Mr Boby's Conqueror, and Mr Giles's Ploughboy, are prime specimens of the Suf folks. The Clydesdales are a small show, but there are some exceedingly fine horses, and two or three good mares and foals. The hunters make a good show, but nothing like what we have seen on for mer occasions. The sheep show is remarkable for the grand dis play of Shropshires. Here Mr Thornton, Mr Hol land, Mr Henry Smith, Mr Cozen, Mr Simpson, Mr Bowen, and Mr Crane support the high position of this very valuable breed. What mechanical novelties may be concealed among the " extensive assortments" of implements of the 235 exhibitors, some single stands being over 200 ft in length, it is impossible for a brief report to say. We can merely name a few. Messrs Clayton and Shuttleworth have a new traction engine coursing about the yard. Messrs Tuxford show another traction engine, fitted with grooved riggers for steam cultivation, and an application of Appold's eentritugal pump for draining low lands. Messrs Rushton and Procter have a new form of straw elevator. Mr Whitehead exhibits in action a solid and perforated brick machine, pugging the clay and squeezing out the bricks at the rate of 10,000 a day. Mr James Coultas, jun., has contrived that valuable aid to the turnip famer, an efficient drop drill. On Mr Cran ston's stand is a new haymaker, an American " notion," in which a series of forks are actuated by separate cranks, instead of being affixed to a re volving frame. Mr Wood has a new self-raking, side-delivery reaping machine, with rake sweeping the platform independently of the reel. Messrb. Hornsby have brought out a new swathe-delivery reaper, and another reaper with " grated, drop-sheaf apparatus." Messrs. Barrett, Ezell, and Co. show a novelty in thrashing machines, the movements being all rotary. Messrs. Burgess and Key have introduced a very clever piece of mechanism into M'Cormick's sheaf-delivery reaper, simplifying and improving the action. Messrs. Peters exhibit a steam hoist or crane, raising weights by means of a Biagio piston, without winding barrel, breaki wheel, or any intermediate gearing. Messrs. A me 6 and Bsrford have attached a fan and blastifei Pe to chaff an ordinary ehaff-catting en Rine , blo win g t to any required distance.

London and the world at large wil Ibe thankful that such. I a clue has at last been found to the track of the murderer of the late Mr Briggs as to leave no d oubt that the miscreant will be brought to justice. It app cars that the police at last felt themselves authorised in bell( .ving that their efforts to capture the perpetrator of the mu rder would b; euccessful, an?, from information. which had been received they pro , cee.led to tho house of a eahmea lat Bow, where for EOlllO • months past a German tailor m .med Francis Muller has. lodged. This man, it now trans pires, left London a fest d a y s ago for nla purpose of :proceeding to New Yet.s. He W.lB di=' ,- avcr.-fi in. this w iso :—A la't'e gir!, 'Le , claughtcr of 1.1:e e':`::nan. at whose hous; Fra•acis iMulter 1_11(_1. livi, :,..ir.t that after kis leaving, t our r', a y s ae; . o, tehe faun,' in the room he bad occetir. led a :3 WILI I elrriboard, box Keel . : as j'nvellir, a put their various wares in, and o n ex'yibit iu- It to her father he remembered the mime of the tendes --m eta 'with whom the chain of the Late Mr Briggs had. been ee...cheatiged, The cabman iramediatrdy communicateet with the police authorities, and the box wee by them ta:i-en to Mr :Death's establishment, that person's name and achieves bei ag engraven on the inside, Upon its being shown. to Mr :Death he at once identified it as one of his boxes, and sue b an one as he should have used wherein to pl ace a cha in similar to that exchanged for the ono supp(med to has el been taken from the late unfortunate gentleman, Mr Bri g gs, and which had been identified as his property. Thy u; slight clue having been obtained, of course the next stet ► was to connect Muller with the man who sold the cha in to Mr Death, and Mr Death, in company with the cab man and the police, went down to the cottage at Bo w where Muller had lived, and, upon seeing a photo gre iph Muller had given to the child, he at once recovized the . features of the person who changed the chin on Mon de y, It is almost needless to add that this discovery assured th e police they were cn the right scent at last, and the next at sp was to ascertain whether the hat which had been found in . the carriage on the railway on the ninlet of the murder, a ad which it was evident had belonged to the person who 1 .ttd committed the crime, could in any *ay be connected rith the man Muller. The cabman was therefore taken up 'so Scotland-yard, and upon the hat being shown to him, he s.t once knew it as one he had purchased for Muller about !four months ago. This seemed so conclusive•that Inspector Tanner immediately went back to Sc o tl an d -yard, stated the s discoveries inp that had proceededdbeenmadeto Bow-street police-oil-ice,, and, acco mpan i ed b y In and there obtained a warrant for the apprehension of Francis Muller. The next step was to inquire as to the probable residence of the now suspected murderer, and as he had on leaving his lodgings stated his intention of going abroad, close inquiry was set on foot as to any person bearing a similar resemblance having left the country. Success crowned the inquiries of the acute detectives, and a person fully identified as the suspected murderer. Muller was as certained to have left London four days ago in a ship bound direct for New York, the passage occupying on the average 19 days, end which, having cleared the Downs many hours before the inquiries were set afoot, must be far away before this reaches the public eye. Government resources were at once asked for and granted. Sir George Grey gave every ./ facility, and an Admiralty steamer from Liverpool has some hours since borne Inspector Tanner and Sergeait Clarke to arrest the murderer, or more probably await his arrival on his landing, as the steamer, barring accidents, will reach America at least four days before the sailing vessel that conveys the villain flying from justice, Mr Death, the jeweller, and the cabman, whose name our reporter did not ascertain, accompanied the police offi cers in the Government steamer, for the purpose of person ally identifying Muller, and no doubt whatever exists in the minds of the police that Muller will soon be in the hands of justice. The clue so far obtained has been of course some additional incentive to inquiries likely to prove successful. The history of Muller, as far as can at present be gleaned, shows that he came to this country about 18 mouths ago, and followed his occupation as a tailor, and it was not un frequently noticed that he had in his possession a very fine gold watch and massive chain, by no means according with kls position, or the money at his command. Whether he was in the habit of drinking, or how the circumstances arose, Muller would never divulge, but some months ago he got into a broil with some women or woman, and lost his watch and chain. He refused to give any description of them, t offer any reward, or mdlzo any inquiries, lout has continually complained, and most bitterly, of the loss ho had sustair L ed. Since tho murder he has, as has now been ascertained, sh,e-wia. on several occasions a watch, a very handsome one, and said. he had saved up money enough to buy it, and we quite contented at having been able to get ono. The chain wWch the man Muller obtainel from Mr Death he Pledg e d on Tuesday at a pawnbroker's in the city, and the ticket on the day following to another tailor, a friend obis, a Ger man. This man, uj cn being questioned by ItuTector Thom. son at Scotland-yard, admitted that he had read about the murder, but had not said anything to any one about the chain, and it has not been considered that there was sutii ci,nt evidence to justify the police in detaining him for any co!ciplicity in the murder. lie will, however, remain under sin voitlanca so as to be forthcoming at the trial upon - 1;1121- ;ex's being brought hack t o this country. No trace what ever has been found of the watch itself, and it may be fairly expected, and for the ends of justice hoped, that: ‘'ulier has it still in his possession, and that it will be found upon him, so as to constitute an undoubted link in the chain of evidence. The servants cf the railway authorities speak confidently as to their ability to identify the man supposed to have got into the carriage with Mr Briggs, and it is understood that the photograph of Muller will be shown to them to add to the circumstantial evideneo r already obtained. FURTHER PARTICULARS. On Monday morning a cabman named Jonathan Mat thews was taken to the Harrow-street Station, where ho made the following communication :—" I lire at No. GS, Earl-street, Lisson-grove, and am a cabman. Last night, and for the first time, I saw a placard in the Edgware•road having reference to a murder committed on the North London Railway. I communicated certain information to a waterman named Amos." The following is the communication made by the cabman before Mr Henry, the chief magistrate at Bow-street, yes. terd ay afternoon "I know Franz Miller. Ho is a native of Cologne. His age, as he told me, is 2d, and for some time past he has been employed as a shirt cutter in the firm of Hodgkinson, hosiers, of Threadneadle.street, in the city. Seven or eight months ago ho commenced to keep company with my sister, and as her suitor he was in the habit of coming to my house. 1 remember one Sunday in October or November last he came to my house and said to me, You have got a nice hat, where did you get it from P' I told him I had bought it from a man named Walker, a hatter, in Crawford -street. Muller said,' Well, I should like to have one like it.' I said, ' Well, try this on,' and he did so, but found it too tight for his head. I then said, ' I know your size now, and I will get one for you.' I did so, and the following Sunday he came and took it away. Some time afterwards he came to my house again, when I said, How well that hat wears ; I have had three hats since then.' I laid hold of the hat, and noticed on the inside brim a peculiar thumbmark, caused by the hat being put on and taken cff by the hand at one particular spot. The hat produced (the one found in the railway carriage) is the same, and I could swear to it. Last Monday week Muller visited my house and saw my wife. After paying her the usual compliments he took a box out of his pocket and pulled out of it a gold chain, which ho said he had paid £3 10s. for that morning. Ile then fixed the chain on a watch and gave the box to my child to play with. [The box was produced, and identified by Mr Death, who was pre sent, as the one which ho had placed the chain in.] then exhibited a ring which he had on his finger, and° 7ll , i h was similar to the one described by Mr Death. duller t h en Muller began to complain, saying he had boon very unfortunate . ; ho had been down to the city, :and a cart H ha e v t in h g en pas,td near his foot he had sprained his I am going to Canada ; be sure you aee c (mean ing me), tell him not to go out to-raTT b until I Forhim.' two or three come, for I panic flatly want to see mornings I waited for him, but he never came, and I have • Yesterday I communicated the never seen him since. of the I) di v . ,- above facts to Inspector Steer, ankle. v division and I handed over to him the box'produced. m Jonathancrn n,said The other evidence adduced went to show that Inspector Steer gave this information at Scotland -yard, and the Com missioners of Police immediately instructed Superintendent Tiddy and Inspector Steer to thoroughly investigate the o rd he, B w ( 1 7 8 t in a matter. These two offic ers at on went to N o. 16, Park terrace,ly house kept by a m a n name d t h, who Old said bd on the ni g ht o f th e d ay th e mur d e r was committed when Muller cacao home. The officers n ex t i nterrogated a lodger in the house n amed Goodwin, a G erman, who said that on th e ni,4lat mentioned Mull er came home about 11 o'clock, and ap peared very B Ford, much confused, which he accounted for by say ing he had met with a severe injury in the city and had sprained his ankle. The lodger produced a pawn-ticket, which he said be had bought of Muller. The ticket related to the gold chain Muller received from Mr Death, and which Muller had pledged in a pawnshop in Bow. Mr Adams, the American Minister, way present during the whole of the examination, and at his request a copy of the depositious was prepared to be forwarded to the Home Executive in America. It further transpired in the examination that Muller sailed from the London Docks on Thursday afternoon last in the sailing vessel Victoria, bound for New York. Last night at 9 o'clock Mr Inspector Tanner, Mr Death, and the cabman started f r om Euston-square or Liverpool, en route for New York by to-day's American mail. The inspector wt s furnished with a warrant granted by Mr Henry for the apprehension of Muller on the ehatgi of murder, and he also carried with him letters from Bit .
