The deficiency of riotel accommodation in India, China, and other places in the East to which Europeans 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 4 ‘ransit by ocean and river steamers, and by railways, which has been in rapid progress now for some years, must imperfectly fulfil all iFs important objects, so far as European intercourse with the East is conc.rned, until this want is adequately supplied. In England, and on the cnntinent of Europe, it is now an asceqained fact that the joint-stock system may most suc cessfully be applied to the establishment of Hotels of the first class. If this be so where good private Hotels :before existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt that an equal 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 increasing, it max a l mos t b e s a id that good private Hotels do not exist. In Calcutta s joint-stock company has lately purchased and undertak en the management of an Hotel, and the pro spects of the: enter, rise, as a commercial speculation, may be infer red fr om the very high premium at which their shares are ,„ in the Calcutta market, see "Times" July 17, the u'itiman's Weekly Mail" of June 8,1863, and "Allen's Mail," viz., £25 paid, present value, .£42i ex div., eque;r to 70 per cent. premium, and the payment of a dividend of i 0 per cent. for the half-year ending 30th April last, equal t.o 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for it'hc 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 tako place, must very much increase the demand for such accom modation. The same may be said of Madras. It is under these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels Company (Limited) is established, in the confident belief that the application of European capital to India in this form will not be 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 important places which will naturally engage the early attention of the Company, such for example as Madras, Singapore, and Kurrachee ; 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, profitab e operations. The largerclass of the Company's Hotels will afford 'Ail the conveniences of the best Euro•peau Hotels, adapte•., to th e climate, and to the habits of those for whom trey are In tended ; whilst, in even the, smallest class.

No cloud overshadows the House similar to that of last year, the genial rain has had a most beneficial effect 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 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 as of 3 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 Mcestissima filly winning with perfect ease. The Gratwicke excited much interest from the appearance of Zapateado, a favourite for the Stakes ; 5 to 4 was laid on him, but ho 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, tho 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. Craven course. 7 subs.

General liess, 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 Waterwitch 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 sovs each, h it, for colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b. The owner of the second horse to receive 200 sovs out of the stakes. T.Y.C. 20 subs.

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, Bst 101 b, and fillies Bst 51b (31b. and 61b allowed). The se cond horse to receive 200 sovs, and the third to save his stake.

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.

The Lords of the Admiralty, accompanied by the officials comprising the controller's department of the navy, and that of the engineering and architec tural works, 10 in number, made their half-yearly inspection at Woolwich yesterday. Arriving at the dockyard at half-past 10 o'clock they were received by the Commodore Superintendent, Sir F. Ni co l. son, C. 8., and the beads of departments. A guard of honour, furnished by the Royal Marines in com mand of Capt. Fraser, together with the band and colours, was in attendance, and performed the usual ceremonies. The entire party consisted of his Grace the Duke of Somerset, La) Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Frederick William Grey, K.C.8., Rear -Admiral Charles Eden, 03., Capt. the Hon , J. R. Dru mmon d, C. 8 ., M r . Stansfeld, M.P., Rear- Admiral Lord Cla r enc e Paget, C . 8., M.P., First Secretary, and Capt. Hall, private secretary to the First Lord, R ear -Ad m i ra l Robinson, Mr. Reed, controller, and chief constructor of the navy, and Col. Greene, director of works. They commenced the inspe c ti on by v i s i t i ng t h e Commodore's offices and overlookino.e, 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 h e ds, a nd went on board the Caledonia, where they re mained upwards of half-an-h our, i nspecting with mar ked interest the progress of the ship towards comp letion and the improvements which have been made since their last visit t o th e yard. The sides o f the Caledonia, the armour -plating of which is nearly completed, also under went a rigid examination, an d the work obtained app arently an unqualified appr o val. The whole party th en proceeded to an in sp ect i on of the corvette Wolverine, nearly ready to be launched, passed through the boat-house, andreturning along the wharf they visited the shed where the Cale donia was launched, and entered into arrange ments for layi ng d own the ' hull of one of the i ron vessels about to be commenced in that yard. Cross ing the parade 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 ool 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 bilities. Returning to the eastern end of the yard their lordships went on board the new iron steam troopship Tamar, 2,812 tons, 5 00-horse power, launched in January at Millwall. After an inspec tion of the T amar, they partook of luncheon with the Commodore Superintendent , and the Duke of Somerset and Capt. Hall, Sir Frederick Grey, Ad miral Robinson, and Mr. Reed, left 'Woolwich for London. The remainder of the party proceeded to the Royal Marine quarters, where they arrived at half-past 2. Entering by the Infirmary gates, they were received by Dr. Salmon, Deputy -Inspector- General, and the medical officers of the establish ment, who escorted them through the sick ward. Soon after 3 o'clock they proceeded to the Royal Marine Barracks, where the whole of the division had been drawn out under arms since 1.30. Major- General Stransham, Inspector-General of Royal Marines, Colonel Langley, Deputy Adjutant-Gene ral, and the superior officers of the division, re ceivcd their lordships at the entrance, and Col. Mitchell commanded the parade. The board next proceeded to the gun drill battery. After a general course of heavy gun drill under the command of Capt. Carrington, the inspection was terminated, and the remainder of the board re turned to London. The following appointments and promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander Thomas L. Gaussen, to the Formidable; Donald M'lver and Josh. Whitaker, acting assist.-surgeons, to the Rattlesnake ; Allen Atken, supernumerary in the.

The dates of promotion of the following officers are ordered to be altered to March 10, 1863:-- Second Capt. J. C. G. Price ; Capt. and Brevet- Major R. Pittman, and Second Capt. A. Carey. THE ARMY. Her Majesty's screw troopship Himalaya , CaPt Lacy, embarked the following troops yesterday a ' Portsmouth, and will sail with them for Ceylon a' 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, andthe autumnal and vernal equinoxes ; obser vations of the planets Jupiter and Neptune, and circle observations of Mars and of the stare 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 notiee. 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, counte 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 tha form of the pivots may now be used, however, while the counterpoises are 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 riaßY be very nearly balanced in all positions. Four new verniers have also been introduced, for reading off the hour circle of this instrument. Some altera tions have been made at the eye•end of the Nor thumberland telescope, in o rder to render it vie pos sible to use eye - pieces, giving a larger field of w, and a small position circ le has been pp plied t measuring o uri t u b ig e finder, so as to give the means o approximately angles of position.or the p uOr pose s t e h o e f S b e o i n n e; equatorial being d ismounted,f examined, several of the springs which relieve the pressure on the lower pivot were found to be broken, which materially interfered with the freedom of mo tion of the instrument about its polar axis. Th, microscopes were also out of order.T “ he b ee n instrument h a s now been p ut into working order by Mr. Simm s , an d some ame ndments have also been introd uce d i n to the dome.

There died yesterday morning a gentleman of whom we desire to apeak kindly, though we must also speak of him truly. Lord Normanby, who has now, after 66 years of life, c oasaal his eyes in death, owed the chief success of his eminently prosperous career principally to his social qualities. He was a man to lila e ; it was pleasant to he in his company. phis implies curtain qtialities of head and heart which are not to he aeadervalued, and which we do not overlook when we attribute his success in life almost entirely to his good manners. Everybody liked him — nob od y ca n well say why. In good nature and gocd-humoue , t he p leasant manner, tho cheery smile, the ready hand, there is an indefinable charm. It bound Lord Melbourne hand and foot, and he could never understand why he was always behold obliged to give everything he asked to Lord the Nor manby, Behold th e value of a smile ; advantage of manlier. It earned a Marquisate, it earned the Garter, it earned the Lord -Lieutenancy of Ireland, it earned two SEcretaryships of State, it earned the Embassy to Paris. Constantine Henry Phipps born in May, 1797, 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 enter ed Parliament as member for Scarborough, and in his politics he displayed the originality of youth. Though these were 'Rory 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 he 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 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 ho was called to London to see if he could not exert some of his fay. cination in Parliament, when Lord Melbourne's Government was every day b; coming weaker. He became Secretary for the Colonies in 1839, and iu few months afterwards passed to the Home-office. The Whigs were stranded in 1841, and Lord Normanby was unemployed till, in 1846, Lcrd John Russell came into power. Then he was appointed Ambassador to Par;s, in which post he remained till the spring of 1852. It was a most eventful period ; it waa the period of the Spanish marriages, of the French Revolution, of the coup (1 aut. 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 busineas called forth, M. Guizot on ono occasion contested the accuracy of Lord Normanby's report of a con versation, and said of our Ambassador—" Il est 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 Malmes 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, buthhet did defend him, and he had his reward ; for t a Minister's first act after his return to England was oppose his late chief, who had stood by him m fully.
