The Docks are constructed to receive ships and steamers of r.,500 tone, and are provided with all the ne cessary workshops and accessories for first-class Dry Docks, so as to enable them to keep up the high character they have ever possessed ; the Company will, therefore, have at com mand the means of economically and promptly keeping their ships in efficient ord er ; by so d o i ng a great saving is effected, which forms a considerable item of profit. When free from use by the Company's vessels, it is in tended that the Graving Dock shall, as hitherto, be em ployed in the repair of other vessels ; and having in view the very limited Dry Dock accommodatLn in the Thames, com pared with the extent of tonnage that frequents the Port of London, and the constant and pressing demand for docks of this magnitude, it is confidently anticipated that this branch cf the Company's operations will con. inue to yield its very large revenue, while the property will be found yearly in creasing in value. The terms upon which the whole of the fleet of Vessels, Graving Docks and Plant, are to be taken by the Company are most fair and liberal, and in perfect harmony with the high reputation of the Vendors, they having agreed to the whole being taken at a valuation, to be made by four compe tent Surveyors, two of which will be nominated by Messrs. Staines Brothers and two by the Company, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill has been fixed at a very mode rate price, and which will include all the accruing freights on the ships, work in the yards, itc. By this arrangement the Company confidently anticipate that they will be in a position to declare large dividends, so that the Directors feel that applicants, instead of applying for shares in a new undertaking, will rather be admitted as partners in one of the oldest, most lucrative, and valuable concerns in London, and which has the immense advantage of being in full operation. Messrs. Somes Brothers have both taken seats at the Board, thereby securing to the Company their great practi cal experience and influence ; they have further shown their confidence in the undertaking by subscribing £llO,OOO of the capital. The able and active stair of officials will remain in the em ploy of the Company, so that the business will not suffer an hour's interruption by the transfer. Applications for the remaining shares must be made in the form annexed, and be accompanied by a payment 01 £1 per share ; it no allotment be made, the amount will be returned forthwith ; if a less number be allotted than is applied for, the amount paid on application will be applied towards the payment of the 41 due on allotment, the balance (U any) being returned.

TIIE FATAL EXCISE AFFRAY NEAR TP The coroner's jury have returned a verdict adverse to the police who engaged in the recent fatal affray with illicit distillers near Ennis. From the evidence laid before the Court it appeared that the police found two men—the Sheedys, father and son—engaged in manufacturing whisky in an outhouse belonging to them, They seized the still, still head, worm, 20 gallons of illicit whisky, fi ve sacks of malt, six barrels of wash, and two tubs of potale, and also arrested the two men. It appeared that a man named John Darcy was shot through the head by the discharge of the firearms of the police; and from the evidence of the Sheedys there wos no more crowd than m i g ht have been expected on such an occasion, and not the last pressing upon the police constables or attempting to impede their progress, although some threatening and abusive language was used. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned ayerdiet, That the deceased died of a gunshot wound, and that the police were not justified in firing on that occasion. The following is a copy of the original letter held by me to be delivered to Horace Greeley, which de spatch I now forward to the Associated Press. (Signed) W. C. JEWETT. Clifton House, July 21. Sir,—The paper handed to Mr Holcomb yester day, in your presence, by Major Hay, as to the application in our note of the 18th inst., is couched in the following terms—Tae application to which we refer was decided by your letter of the 17th inst., in which you inform Mr Thomson and our selves that you were authorised by the President of the United States to give us safe conduct, on the hypothesis that we are duly accredited from Rich mond as hearers of propositions looking to the esta blishment of peace, and desired to visit Washington in the fulfilment of this mission. This assertion, to which we gave and still do entire credence, was ac cepted by us as the evidence of an expected but most gratifying change in the policy of the President, a change which we felt authorised to hope might terminate in'the conclusion of a peace mutually just, honourable, and advantageous to the North and to the South, exacting no condition but that we should be acredited from Richmond as bearers of proposis tions looking to the establishment of peace, thus proffering a basis for a conference as we could de sire. It seemed to us that the President opened a door which had previously been closed against the Confederate States, for fall interchange of senti ments, free discussion of conflicting opinions, and untrammelled efforts to remove all causes of con troversy by liberal negotiations. We, indeed,"could not claim the benefit of a safe conduct which had been extended to us in a character we had no right to assume, and had never affected to possess, bat the uniform declaration of our Executive and Congress, and their thrice-repeated, and as often repulsed, attempts to open negotiations furnished a sufficient pledge that this considerate manifestation on thepart of the President of the United States would he met by them in temper of equal magnanimity. We had therefore no hesitation in declaring that if this cor respondence was communicated to the President of the Confederate States, he would probably embrace the opportunity presented for seeking a peaceful solution of this unhappy strife. We feel confident you must share our profound regret that the spirit which dictated the first step towards peace had not continued to animate the councils of your President. Had the representatives of the two Governments met to consider this question, the most momentous ever submitted to human statesmanship, in temper of becoming moderation and equity, followed as their deliberations would, have been by the prayers and benedictions of every patriot and Christian on the habitable globe, who is there so bold as to pronounce that the frightful waste of individual happi• which is daily Cid nen and public propperity Y , " • • .•1;442,• ; .• • 14;1 ' " • k - • ; ( , ow.

Clement Clay, of Alabama; Professor S. B. Hol comb, of Virginia; and G. N. Saunders, of Dixie, are ready and willing to go at once to Washington upon complete and unqualified protection being given by the President or Secretary of War. Let the permission include the three names and one other.—Yours respectfully, (Signed) GEO. N. SAUNDERS. To Hon. H. Greeley. Gontlemen,—l am informed that you are dilly accredited from Richmond as the bearers of propo• sitions looking to the establishment of peace; that you desire to visit Washington in fulfilment of your mission, and that you further desire that G. N. Saunders shall accompany you. If my information be thus far substantially correct, I am authorised by the President of the United States to tender you his safe conduct on the journey proposed, and to accompany you at the earliest time that will be agreeable to you.—l have the honour to be, gentle. men, yours truly, (Signed) H. GREELEY. To Messrs. C. C. Clay. I. Thomson, and J. B. Holcomb. Niagara Falls, July 18. Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of yours of this date by the hand of W. C. Jewett, the statement of facts therein presented being materially different from that which was understood to exist by the President, when he en trusted me with the safe conduct required. It seems to me on every account advisable that I should communicate with him by telegraph, and solicit fresh instructions, which I shall at once proceed to do. I hope to be able to transmit the result this p.m.; at all events I shall do so at the earliest moment. Niagara Falls, July 18. Sir s —We have the honour to acknowledge your favour of the 17th inst., which would have been answered yesterday bat for the absence of Mr Clay. The safe conduct of the President of the United States has been tendered, as we regret to state, under some misapprehension of facts. We have not been accredited to him from Richmond as the bearers of propositions looking to the establishment of peace. We are, however, in confidential employ. ment of our Government, and entirely familiar with its wishes and opinions on that subject ; and we feel authorised to declare that, if the circum. stance disclosed in this correspondence were com municated to Richmond, we would be at once in vested with the authority to which your letter refers; or other gentlemen,clothed with full powers, would be immediately sent to Washington, with the view of hastening a consummation so much to be desired, and terminating, at the earliest possible moment, the calamities of war. We respectfully solicit, through your intervention, a safe conduct to Washington, and thence by any route which may be designated, through your lines to Richmond. We would be gratified if Mr Saunders was embraced in this privilege. Permit us, in conclusion, to acknow ledge our obligations to you for the interest you have nian',festEd in the furtherance of our wishes, and to express the hope that in any event you will afford us the opportunity of tendering them in person before you leave the Falls. C. C. CLAY and J. B. HOLCOAIB. PRICF 4d. STAMPED, sd. dening the universal heart might not have been terminated, or, if the depletion and carnage of war must still be endured through weary years of blood and suffering, that th ere m i ght not at least have been infused into its conduct something of the spirit which softens and partially redeems its brutalities ? Instead of the safe conduct'which we solicited, and which your first letter gave us every reason to sup pose would be extended for the purpose of initiating a regulation where neitherGovernmentcomnroraised its right or dignity, a document has been presented which was originally offered, and is unlike any paper which ever before emanated from the consti tutional executive of a free people. Addressed to whom it may concern, it precludes negotiations, and prescribes, in advance, the terms and conditions of peace, the return to the original policy of no , bargaining, no protesting, no truce with the enemy, except to bury the dead, until every man should have laid down his arms, submitted to the Govern ment, and sued for mercy. What may be the ex planation of this sudden and entire change in the views of the President, of this rude withdrawal of a courteous overture for negotiations, at the moment it was likely to be accepted ? If this emphatic recall of words of peace just uttered and fresh blasts of war be the better, we leave for the speculation of those who have means or inclination to penetrate the mysteries of the Cabinet or fathom the caprice of his imperial will. It is enough for us to say that we have no use whatever for the paper which has been placed in our hands. We could not transmit it to the President of the Confederate States, with out offering him indignity, dishonouring ourselves, and incurring the well-merited scorn of our coun trymen. Whilst an ardent desire for peace pre vails, the people of the Confederate States are rejoiced to believe that there are few, if any, amongst them who could purchase it at the expense of liberty, honour, and self-respect. If it can be secured only by their submission to terms of con quest, the generation is yet unborn which will Witness its restoration. If there be any military authority in the North who is entitled to proffer the conditions of this manifesto, there is none in the South authorised to entertain them. Those who control our armies are the servants of the people, not their masters, and they have no more inclination than they have right to subvert the social institu tions of foreign states, to overthrow their priceless heritage of self-government. This correspondence will not, however, we trust, prove wholly barren of good results. If there is any citizen of the Conte. derate States who has clung to the hope that peace was possible with this administration of the Federal Government, it will strip from his eye the last film of such delusion. If there be any whose hearts have grown faint under the suffaring and agony of this bloody struggle, it will inspire them with fresh energy to endure and brave whatever may yet be requisite to preserve to themselves and their children all that gives dignity and value to life, or hope and consolation to death. If there be any patriots and Christians in your land who shrink appalled from the lengthened vista of private misery and public calamity which stretches before them, we pray that in their bosoms a resolution may be quickened to reclaim the abused authority and vindicate the outraged civilisation of their country. For the solicitude you have manifested to inaugurate a movement which contemplates results the most noble and humane we return our sincere thanks, and are most respectfully and truly your obedient servants, (Signed) "C. CLAY, " S. B. HOLCOMB, ) Commissioners. " To the Hon. H. Greeley." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RA.CES.-TUESDIY. A slight flavcour of Goodwood lingers round the Brighton meeting. The aristocratic crowd congregated at the ducal gathering has not yet dispersed itself to its autumn recrea tions, and consequently there is a sprinkling of those turf habitue's who have probably bid adieu to racing until next year's Epsom and Ascot again call them to the field. The ground, always hard at Brighton, was, of course, doubly so this year, and the fields consequently deficient in quantity and quality, The Brighton Handicap, owing to the absence of Deerfoot, who cast a plate after his number went up, was left to the Tyke and Jane Shore, who raced home together, Lord Uxbridge's colt winning by three quarters of a length. There was a sad falling off in the ;Brighton Biennial, Fille de L'Air frightening away all competitors except Peon, who made a fight for it with the French mare, and was beaten cleverly by a neck. The Stakes only brought out seven runners, Bally Ed mond being made the favourite, with Madcap next in de mand. Lord Hastings's outsider Redcap, however, landed them very easily, defeating the favourite by a length. Lytham cantered in for the Marine Plate, and then fol lowed the Brighton Nursery, which boasted a large entry, though but 14 came to the post. Attache was made rather a warm favourite, but suffered easy defeat from Nukuheva, who won in a canter without being called upon. The attendance was good, and the weather delightful. We ought to mention as worthy of imitation that the com mittee had caused the road to the course to be well wa• tered. There was no betting on future events.

The betting opened at 6 to 4 agst Deerfoot, but upon his retirement it closed at 2 to 1 agst Jane Shore, 3 to 1 eget The Tyke, and 5 to 1 agst Prince Lee 800. The Tyke, in company with Prince Lee 800, was the first away, and came on with a clear lead of Confederalist and Jane Shore to the bond. Here Prince Lee 800, next the rails, took a decided lead, which he held into the bottom, where the pair were headed by the favourite, who, appa rently pulling double, came on in advance to the stand, where she was again headed by The Tyke, who won cleverly by three-quarters of a length—Flying Spur finished a bad third, and Confederalist fourth.

The non•favourite made play for a quarter of a mile, when he was headed by the French filly, who came on with a clear lead to the stand. where Wells made his effort and got to her quarters, but was beaten after the semblance of a race by a neck. The Southdown Stakes of 5 soya each, with 50 added ; for 2-yr-olds and upwards ; weight for age ; with selling allowances. T.Y.C., three-quarters of a mile. 9 subs.

Graham's Iscoid, 2 yrs, sst 7lb (Z 10) ( Wyatt) 6 Betting-7 to 4 agst Doublet, 100 to 30 each agst Prince Lee 800 and Wicket. The start was delayed by the breaking away of Wicket, Iscoid, and the Miss Lavinia colt ; the two former believing it a start, rode their horses home past the post. When the flag was lowered Prince Lee 800 with the favourite on his right got away in front, having Coafusion and Wicket im mediately in their wake to half-way up the hill, when the Prince appeared in difficulties and was headed by Doublet, who was joined at the stand by Confusion. From this point the race was left to the two, but the old ono was beaten easily by a length; a bad third. The winner was bought in for 95 guineas, and lscoid was sold to Mr Slather for 31 guineas.

Bally Edmond at the same time, in, consequence of the pace slack en i ng, was enabled as they descended the hill to reach the front, and on entering the bottom he got to the girths of Magnum Bonum, whom he headed hallway up the hill, but was never enabled to reach the leader, who won very cleverly by a length and a hidf ; a length separated the second and third, and half that dis tance dividing the third and fourth.

This grand annual aquatic carnival commenced at Cow os yesterday with the race for the Prince of Wales's Cu'_? a time race on Ackers' scale and Thames measurement, for cutters belonging to the Royal Yatch Squadron only. By this latter regulation, which has existed ever since, the squadron hare had royal prizes consigned to them for com petition at their annual regatta, the yachts of all other clubs, royal or otherwise, are debarred from all chance of obtain ing a prize which is one of the highest honours a yachtsman can receive, and which is given by the Crown with the na• tional object of encouraging improvements in naval archi tecture, and which it appears, according to the correspon dence between Sir R. Peel and Admiral Rous, is taken from the Consolidated Fond, and is therefore public money given far a definite public object. The same conditions may be applied to the Queen's Cup, which will be sailed for by schooners and yawls belonging to the Royal Yacht Squad ron only on Thursday (to-morrow). As custodians of these two prizes given by the Crown, the premier yacht club of England would have acted in a manner becoming its high position had it thrown the contest open to the y achts of any Royal Yacht Club, and not confined it to those flying the white ensign. Thoroughly exclusive in its principles this liberal view of the question could not be entertained by the Royal Yacht Squadron, persisting in a monopoly which can only tend to degrade the two royal cups into, as cur weekly contemporary the Field aptly expresses it, " Charity Cups." The morning broke bright and clear, with a nice sailing breeze from N.N. W., with every prospect of its continuance. Cowes road was dotted with a large number of yachts at anchor and under sail flying the colours of nearly every known yacht club, while the Royal Navy was represented by H.M.S. Victoria and Albert, the Irresistible, screw lino of-battle coastguard ship, Capt. J. B. Dickson; the Ferret, training brig, and a screw gunboat. The presence of her Majesty, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and other mem bers of the Royal family at Osborne, bestowed an additional interest on the first day's portion of the Squadron's pro gramme, more especially as the race was for the cup given in the name of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Five vessels were entered for the contest, as follows : The Arrow, cutter, 94 tons, Mr T. Chamberlayne ; the Terpsichore, cutter, 42 tons, Capt. Tatnall, R.N. ; the Alerts, cutter, 56 tons, Lieut. J. Sladen, R.N. ; the Phos phorous, cutter, 49 tons, Capt. W. Bulkely ; the Ladybird, cutter, 35 tons, Mr J. P. Lethbridge. The Ladybird put in no appearance. The four others took up their positions off Cowes Castle, the Arrow inside and the others off in the order as they aro named. The course was from Cowes to the Warner light vessel, thence to the northward of the Brambles, thence round a mark vessel moored off Egypt Point and into the goal between the starting vessel and Cowes Castle, twice round. Light vessels and mark vessels to be left on the port hand. At 10 15 p.m. the preparatory gun was fired, and 5 minutes afterwards the starting gun, when the four craft were off before the wind, the Alerte slightly leading with the Arrow close upon her, Phos phorus being third, and Terpsichore bringing up the rear. The Arrow and Alerte handled their canvas smartly, but the Phosphorus and Terpsichore seemed to take to their work more leisurely. The tide was at high water off in the roads at the time of the yachts starting, with the wind still at about N.N.W., a moderate full sail breeze. The run to the *Warner was unattended with any particular interest. In rounding the lightship the colours of all could not be distinguished with certainty from Osborne pier, the nearest point to the light ship that could be reached for observation but the Arrow and the Alerte roundel tho Warner as follows : H. M. s. Arrow Alerte An interval of 10 minutes 9 seconds separated the third vessel from the Alerte. The fourth vessel was not timed. It was now a dead heat back to Calshot, and the Arrow's famous powers under these circumstances were well known from past performances; but the Alerts being a new vessel, her doings were looked forward to with some interest. At I p.m, the Arrow tacked with her head to the northward, just to leeward of the west buoy of the middle, with the Alerte and Phosphorus, the first named ahead of the other and to windward, some distance astern, and standing in for the island shore, Terpsichore at the same time standing in, also in shore, but hopelessly astern. The wind now gave indications of falling light as the vessels tacking along the north shore for Calshot Light, which was weathered by the Arrow about three minutes ahead of the Alerte. Between Calshot and the mark boat at the western extremity of the course the wind was somewhat baffling to the two leading craft, between whom the struggle for the prize now really lay, and in rounding the mark boat the Alerte had gained one minute on the Arrow. That mark weathered, sheets were eased off, foresails boomed out, and balloon jibs and topsails set, and the first round was corn. pleted as follows : Ztf r: .. :t H. M. s . Arrow ...••••••••• 2 34 38 Alerte ......... 2 36 41 Phosphorus .. 2 43 37 Terpsichore The yachts now commenced their second round of the course, but, from the adverse state of th e tide and the posi tion and force of the wind, there was every probability of its ending at too late an hour f or any details to be given. y. B referr i ng to the time in which the first round was cora p(eted, it will bo seen that the Alerts was only two m inutes and three seconds behind the Arrow, and as the Arrow according to Acker's scale, had to give an allowance of time for difference in tonnage of 15 minutes and 30 seconds, the Prince of 'Wales's cup was then, barring accidentsialnllprcveher position, andosi p o ro , viding the Phosphorus did not v as tly virtually won by the Alerte. Tho Alerts is quite a new craft, built by Ratsey, of Cowes. To-day, the squadron gave a cup, value 100 guineas, with a second prize of £25, to be sailed for over the same course as the one sailed over yesterday, open to yachts belonging to any Royal Yacht Club. There will nic st probably not be over st o e n ig g eight vessels would els n start, re but the eve racen with ono cf iththi sinst:aeracli st, 0 71,n 11 er a to the admission of ether " cracks," to the contest than those belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron. The Arrow won the Prince of \Vales On?. The Prince went out in the Fairy to witness the contest. Yesterday morning the PENNY OMNIBUSES. omnibuses running between IVestminster and Oxford -street, and Camden Town and Oxford street, were carrying pss bengers at Id each. Tho redaction has been occasioned by the " Shskspere" omnibuse ,, , and those vehicles are now being regularly "pursed" by the old company. ;#1 ~.t~~~ j 4 ./,`4 47 !,* r7'"?
