Long were the faces of his backers, but on Port Meadow their anxieties were relieved, the execution of a heavy commission in his favour, restoring the horse to his former position, and proving that the retrograde movement at Egham was only a clever ruse on the part of the "com missioner" of his noble owner. The horse has continued very firm ever since, and the "touts" have all been in rap tures with his appearance and style of going, rather dispa raging the pretensions of Raglan, the Danebury represen tative. But John Scott was supposed to have a dangerous horse in Welcome and the Yorkshiremen, as in duty bound, rallied round the great northern stable, and the Whitewall horse divided the honours with East Lancashire. The scratching of Caller On on Monday last, after having ful filled her mission of getting all the money to be had out of that credulous portion of the public who plunge on well known favourites without regard to the intentions of stables, called forth much and deserved animadversion. The forenoon was occupied with the sale of some thorough bred stock by Messrs. Tattersall, among them Colonel Townley's yearlings, one of which, a powerful-looking colt by Newminster—Boarding-school Miss, Mr Padwick gave 850 guineas for, after a spirited contest with Lord Stamford. The card to-day, though a full one, had no very salient point of interest in it beyond the Great Ebor. The Lon desborough Cup brought together a rather moderate field, the winner turning up in an outsider—Stirrup Cup— about whom 10 to 1 might easily have been obtained. Gon tran proved himself a horse of a better calibre than gene rally supposed by winning easily with 9st llb on him the Prince of Wales's Stakes from five competitors. The betting at last underwent some changes, the High flyer's dam colt coming with a rush, and running Wel come a dead heat as second favourite at 7 to 2. Their ap pearance was closely scanned, and East Lancashire, the Highfiyer colt, and Welcome seemed to command the most admiration. From the hour at which we are obliged to de. spatch our parcel only leaves us time to say that Raglan won after a splendid race with Nemo and Despair.

Siberia got away in advance, closely followed by the Physalis filly, Bonnie Lass, and Brioche to the distance, when Lord Glasgow's filly dropped away, leaving Bonnie Lass in attendance upon the favourite, who made her effort at the enclosure, but failed to get up, and was immediately stopped and again headed by the Physalis filly, who finished second, beaten a length from Siberia, a similar distance se parating the second and third, a bad fourth.

After a protracted delay at the post, occasioned by the breaking away of Stirrup Cup and the return of Hawkshaw whose rider broke a stirrup leather, the flag was lowered to an indifferent start, in which Chicquot the Jester was left at the post. The favourite after the first few strides made play, closely attended by Miss Pickle, Dean Swift, Hawkshaw, Skylark, and Kilkenny to the road, where Kilkenny and Dean Swift dropped away beaten, Skylark at the same time came out next the rails and came on with a clear lead, which she retained to the enclosure, where Queen of Trumps again assumed the command to within a few strides of home, where Stirrup Cup came up with a wet sail, and secured the judge's fiat in the last stride by a head. A like distance separated the second and third. Brindisi was fourth, Kil kenny fifth, Lyra sixth, and Lady Louisa next. Hawk shaw was last.

Isaac Pereire read the following address to the King of Spain after the benediction of the locomotives : "I have the honour to offer the testimony of my profound gratitude to his Majesty the King of Spain for having, by his presence at this solemnity of in• dustry and labour, deigned to testify the high im portance which he attaches to the opening of a line carried through the formidable barriers preventing the free expansion of the sentiments of two great nations, the rapid transit of their produce, and the communication of their ideas and sympathies. " I welcome the august guest who presides at our meeting in the name of my compatriots, of whom I am certain to be the loyal interpreter ; and I hail his visit as a happy sign of the amity between the Save• reigns of France and Spain, and a proof of the inti mate and loyal alliance of the two countries. Let us then, before all, unite our respectful accla mations in honour of their Majesties the Queen and King of Spain and the Emperor and Empress of the French. " God grant, gentlemen, that we may be able to destroy all the barriers between the nations, as are now destroyed those of the Pyrenees, which by their savage grandeur appeared to defy for ever the power of man. " Time and space disappear before the applications of electricity and steam, before the marvellous re sults of credit ; and it can in truth be said, as much' in the physical as in the moral world, that every. thing gravitates towards a majestic union in whose bosom every people, assured and fortified in their course, will see their natural qualities unfold, and will fulfil with the greatest usefulness the destiny assigned to their genius by Providence. " If we congratulate ourselves upon these pacific conquests, if we glorify ourselves, it is because they powerfully second the religious tendency of societies to unite their forces towards a common end. " On all sides the way is opened by treaties whose first result will be the free exchange of the various products with which nature has gifted each country ; every day, in fact, prepares the new order of things clearly indicated by the Emperor Napoleon 111. when he proposed to Europe to substitute the judg ment of congresses for the deeds of force, and the obstruction that only a blind impiety can term the judgments of God. " The establishment of railways is the first step in this fruitful course of the future. Until now everything has been precarious and uncertain, be cause no solid and durable alliance existed. Where nature had placed the greatest material obstacles to communication between peoples or the treaties of commerce, those bonds of societies were onerous and difficult. " Until now the words uttered by Louis XIV. have remained in the condition of prophecy. To-day they are realised, and it his been reserved to the descendant of that King to consecrate them. " And in witnessing the celebration under such august auspices of this inauguration, a sign of an immense progress for both nations, we better appreciate the rewardot our Worts and long labours and in such moments as these the expression of our, gratitude ought naturally to elevate itself towards the throne of the Queen, in whose fortunate reign public works have received so notable an impetus. " Your Majesty, our country prepares to receive you at every step on French boil; your Majesty will receive tokens of a sincere sympathy towards your person and towards the nation of whom you are the noble representative. " It will always be joyfully remembered that your Majesty's journey was made ^by the new line with which labour has just endowed Spain, and each will consider himself happy to repeat after your Majesty, ' There are now no Pyrenees. " Gentlemen—Long live the King of Spain.' , The whole assemblage responded by a prolonged " Viva !" to the cry of M, Pereire. Excursion trains have been organised to run be• tweeu Madrid and Paris from the 21st to the 31st inst. It appears that the through journey will be made in about 36 hours; the train leaving Madrid at 4.40 p.m., and reaching Paris at 5.20 a.m. on the third day. The Capture of the Georgia. DOVER, Aug. 24. The Federal steam frigate Niagara brought up in Dover Roads this morning, having on board Captain Withycombe, and 33 men belonging to the screw steamer Georgia, which is the property of a British merchant resident in Liverpool, and was captured by the Niagara, while Killing under the British flag, on Monday, the 15th August, about 20 miles off Lisbon. The capture was made by the commodore in command of the Niagara on the ground that the Georgia was formerly a belligerent ship, and in the service of the Confederate States as the celebrated cruiser of the same name. It seems, however, that the Georgia was purc hased i p oiv n e esti r so me few months ago by M r E. Bates, o f Liverpool, and some nice quons of an inter. national character will therefore possible arise out o f this proceeding on the part of the Niagara. The Georgia, it appears, was under orders for Lisbon, having been chartered by the Portuguese Government for the purpose of conveyin g passena gers between that place and the African Coast or the West Indies. She had been regularly fitted u p for this traffic, having accommodation for 30 first class and 20 second class passengers. There is reason to believe that the American commodore was informed of the objeot a n d destination of the vessel, and that she had b e en kept closely watched at Liverpool. This was her first voyage under her new ownership, an d her crew had all received a month's pay in advance. Nothing unusual occurred till she arrived about 20 miles off Lisbon, when the Niagara was seen Bp/me rently waiting for her. Capt. Withycombe did not deviate from his course until brought to with a couple of shots, fired across his bows. He was shortly afterwards boarded by an armed boat's crew, in command of an officer of the Niagara, who re quested his attendance before the commodore. H e protested against the insult which had been offered to the flag under which he was sailing, and in sisted that as the Georgia was a British ship, en s gaged in legitimate and peaceable traffic, no right could Elia under which his course could be arrested. Upon getting on board the Niagara the cointuodore explained that it was his duty to seize the Georgia, hut that he desired to cause Capt.Withycombe and hie crew as little discomfort as pogeihi , .2. Tao ship's papers were then taken possession of, told the crew detained as prisoners till the Niagara reached Dover when they were landed and conveyed to the Dover Sailors' Home, where they were kindly reesived. From thence they will be forwarded to Liverpool. The Niagara, which is a magnificent steamer, resembling a little our own Himalaya, ealu'ed on bringing up in the bay, a compliment which was returned by the discharge of a salvo of artillery from the castle batteries. Scion after landing Capt. w Allem:the and his crew she steamed off in the direction of the Downs. LlVEZtrooe, Aug. 24. Much excitement was owed in Liverpool yes. tthe Georgia came he m terday when it was an nounce d t h a t th e famous Confederate cruiser Geor g i a h a d b een c aptured. and after lying in the river s evera l d ays , en t e red t S la o e m ß e i m r koennh hesesince Docks,where e u t o n d L e i r v w e e r u p t o o l a , d thorough overhaul, after which she was put up for sale by public auction, an d Mr. Edward Bates, the well known Liverpool and East India merchant, became the purchaser. There, however, still remained a mystery about the future movements of this vessel, as she was generally considered to be anything but a merchant vessel, her very build, &c., being against her. Yet, notwithstandin g all the current rumours, the owner of the Georgia stanchly maintained that the vessel was a bona fide merchantman. Matters went on until about three weeks ago, when the Federal war steamer Niagara entered the Mersey, when the destination of the Georgia (which was then loading in the Queen's Dock) was again the subject of conversation. On the morning that the Niagara left Liverpool the Georgia was just leaving dock when the Federal vessel passed down the river, when all at once the " cruiser" hauled back, and did not leave the river until two days after the Niagara had sailed. The Georgia sailed on the Bth of August for Lisbon and the West Coast of Africa, with a very valuable cargo under the command of Captain Withycombe, a well-known blockade runner. On the 15th, when off Berlingos Point, 12 or 15 miles north of Lisbon, she was captured by the Niagara. The crew of the Georgia were transferred to the Niagara, and a fresh crew put on board ; and the vessel was headed for New York, while the Niagara steered for Dover, where she landed 35 of the crew—the other 20, we understand, joining the Niagara, under the plea that they were not British subjects. It is believed here that the seizure is a legal one, and that pre vious to the sale of the Georgia the Uovernment had warned the public against purchasing any ves sel which was alleged to be or have been owned by the Confederate Government. The Harvest. Should the weather continue fine the harvest in this district (Newmarket) will be ne..rly, if not quite, finished during the week. Some farmers, even in the heavy soil neighbourhood, have already finished, and the crops have been gathered in fine condition. Formerly the harvest on heavy land farms was from a fortnight to three weeks later than that on light and medium soils, but now it is almost as early, owing to the beneficial effects of good draining. The wheat is reported to be of an excellent quality, and rather above the ordinary average. Barley is an unusually heavy crop, but in many instances is of a bad selling colour. Some have deferred the carting of it for a few days, in the hope of getting some rain, which, it is thought, would considerably improve it in appearance, and, of course, enhance its value. The oats are heavy, and of a fine quality, but tae bean crop is inferior to that of last year. Should there be another ten days of dry weather the harvest will be nearly to an end for this year, and grain of all descriptions will have been housed in the primest condition for thrashing. At the time we write, however, there has been some steady rain, of which the root crops stood sorely in need—at least in this neighbourhood. We have ocoasionally heard of storms elsewhere, but around Salisbury there has not been sufficient rain to penetrate the soil to any depth since the begin ning of June. The pastures are completely parched, and there is but little grass in the water meadows. Dairy produce has, consequently, advanced in price, and the prospects for the coming winter and early spring are anything but encouraging, seeing that the swede, turnip, and mangold crops ;Till be far below the average. In some places farmers have already had to give their cattle hay, and those who have a super abundant supply of this description of provender will doubtless remise high prices for the same dur.• ing the winter. There has been a good breadth of wheat carried, and, lcoking at the character of the season, not ranch fault can be found with the yield. Of course it will be far below that of last year, but there being a pretty good stock in hand, nothing but war or other unforeseen circumstances will en able the farmer to obtain anything like remunera tive prices. With the high rents paid for most farms we fear that even Mr lluxtable himself would not increase the balance at his bankers by growing wheat at ss. a bushel. It has had to be done, it is true, but the last three years have been most trying and anxious ones to the holders of arable farms. About the usual number of acres have been sown to barley, but owing to the long continued drought the crop is light and thin, with of course very little straw. The early sown will prove the best for malt. ing purposes. The oat crop is unusually light, and excepting in strong, -retentive soils, beans are a general failure. We have seen only two or three good samples, and the yield will bo unprecedent edly small, owiug to the excessive blight which has prevailed, Good beans are likely to fetch high prices. Similar observations are applicable to the pea crop, which, owing to the parched state of the ground, is very deficient. Here, again, the advantage of early sowing has been rendered strikingly apparent. Less flax is grown in this neighbourhood than in North Wilts and in some parts of Dorsetshire, but most of the accounts are favourable, and we are surprised that farmers do not devote more attention to this orop, for which there is now a more remunerative market than has been the case for many years. Most of the late planted potatoes will hardly repay the cost attending them, but there is very little disease, and the tubers, though small, are of good quality for the table. The season has been a capital one for the destruction of weeds, and every advantage has been taken of the opportunity.— Wiltshire Mirror. _ _ NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.—Since last week the wea ther has been broken. On Sunday morning we had a heavy thunderstorm, and several hours of refreshing rain followed. Since then there have been several showers, which must prove very bene ficial to the pastures and root crops. In many parts of the county farmers have secured the whole of their corn crops, and on good heavy lands the yield of wheat will be nearly an average: On the loose sand soils the crops are very light, and there will be a considerable deficiency. Barley is the best crop of the season. Generally the plant has done well, and the yield will reach a fall average. Oats are variedly spoken of, but altogether the yield is very light. Beans are thin. Peas are a fair crop. In the southern part of the county wheat is a good crop on the marsh and subsoils, and the quality of the grain is fine; on the light lands it is uneven. Barley pro mises exceedingly well. Oats and beans are short in straw, and the yield is indifferent. Potatoes aro sound and of good quality, but small in size. Turnips have mostly proved a favour—the early Swedes promise the best, Mangolds are a very poor crop. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND.—In Lancashire the crops generally aro looking admirable, both grass and rows, which have nearer London suffered eo much horn drought, being at least up to the average. This is certain to render 1861 a profitable year for Northern farmers, hay and other holder rapidly rising in cable owing to the short yield in other localities. Good hay, which a few weeks ago was selling at GI per stone of 141 b., now realises 91., and many dealers expect that in spring it will reach the maximum attained during the Crimean w...r-1(1. per lb. In anticipa , Con of this state of matters, vast herds of cattle are being sent from Berkshire and neighbouring coun ties to the Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Wakes field markets, instructions to dealers being to dispose of them at anything approaching reasonable prices in preference to their having to be kept on southern estates during tile coming winter. Here they can be fattened to a profit, there being no lack of nourishing vegetation, the country presenting a completely diff‘irent aspect tc that on the Luudot CRIEFF.—The dry warm weather which .has prey to in w ei h th ic e h r g a ra la in r wailed since the beginning of Aug - ast has haste nc d the rip en i ng o f th e g rain with ast on i s hi ng rap idi ty.

Warm, howeve as it was during the day, a sharp pinch of frost lo la been felt at night, or rather early in the morn;,r,g, and fears were entertained that the whitening pro cesa was being obtained at the expense of a full ear. This, it is hoped, will be counteracted by the hieavy showers that have fallen since. The weight o f the oat crop in general cannot be spoken of at present, as the heads are as yet in some places rather light, but it is hoped it will turn out a very fair avesago. Wheat is generally very fair, and barley particu larly good. This latter crop is almost all ripe, and its cutting is either finished or has commenced on various farms. The harvest is almost gene ral round about Alloa and the lands sloping down to the Forth, but will be fully a fort • night later in the eastern and upper parts of tl l e county. In the strath of Devon the harvest is about to commence. The state of the root crop, is highly favourable. The potato was thrown abo ut three weeks back by the frost that blackened the haulms, but there is no word of disease making its appearance, and the tubers in the field, though not dry, as they would be if ripe, are plentiful and full-sized. The turnip crop is fully three weeks earlier than usual, and is throughout, with few exceptions, very good. There have been a few• sales of growing oats throughout the county, !At which the prices realised have averaged from four to five guineas an acre, The weather towards the end of last week was much broken, and heavy showers of rain, mingled with bail, have been fre (pent, and the wind easterly; Monday was fair, but somewhat cold. The Death in a Gipsy's Tent. Mr John Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest on Tuesday at the Greyhound Tavern, Old Ford. road, Victoria-park, respecting the death of Barbara Leo, aged 90 years, a celebrated member of the gipsy tribe, wile died in a tent under the following circumstances : The jury having been sworn, proceeded with the coroner: across a meadow to a low tent which was protected frotutliis weidlier by a dwarf wall abutting ou Sir George DuckctOes Canal, when Mr Burrows, the summoning officer, removed several wooden skewers from the dingy woollen covering, the body of deceased was found lying on the turf covered with a white sheet, and near the corpse lay a rough or wild sheep dog, and it was stated that deceaeel had formerly been. the Gipsy Queen, The first witness called was ziah Lee, a young gipsy, who said she was a traveller and had no settled residence. She lived in a field near Mr Bowen's, the Crown Hotel, Old Ford-road. Witness was the wife of Benjamin Lee, a gipsy, who attended races and fairs, and obtained a livelihood by keeping " Old Aunt Sallys" and " Cockshies." The deceased was a widow, and witness was her daughter-in-law. She lived with witness as she had no home nor friends to assist her. Sometimes they had six or seven in the same tent, but they never had any sickness, the air was so pure, and although deceased. was so aged she walked or tramped from the encampment on Wandsworth-common. She was very weak and care worn, but was not ailing or in bad health. She could cat anything when she could get it. On Saturday night, the deceased ate a hearty supper in the tent, and there were several persona present who slept there all night. There was a fire burning until the morning. About S o'clock wit ness awoke and heard deceased making a gurgling noise in the throat. Witness got up and ran for Dr Davey, who immediately attended and pronounced life extinct. The deceased was then upon the face of the earth, but well wrapped up. Coroner (to witness)—Your tribe live longer in such places, do they not? \Vituess, smiling—Oh, yes, sir. Why, if she had gane to the workhouse she would have been dead years ago. Coroner—l believe that, for a gipsy's tent is a palace to some of the overcrowded and pestilential dwellings at this part of the great metropolis. Charlotte Lee, another gipsy, with a brown and sharp countenance, said that she lived in White's brickfield, Old Ford-load. She called to see the old lady, and stopped in the tent all night. Deceased was then very poorly, and could not get up. She could speak and knew witness, who had travelled from Kingston to see her. The deceased never complained while witness was present, and she had what they could afford to give her. A surgeon was not called, as deceased had never had a day's illaess. Coroner—Are you not related to the family of the Gipsy Queen ? Witness—Yes, sir, but she is no more than our own humble tribe. Why, our Queen is your Queen, and we bow to her as her loyal subjects. Dr Davey, of Florence-villa, Old Ford-road, said that he was called to the deceased, and found her in a tent lying upon the ground. She was still warm, but had only beerA dead about a quarter of an hour. lie examined the body, which was pretty well nourished, and he believed, as there were no marks of violence, that she had died from exhaus tion upon old ago. Tho coroner said the case was one of an unusual cha racter, and ho should not have troubled the jury but that the deceased had died in such a sudden and strange manner. There was, however, no doubt that the habit of living in such open-air places was beneficial, and had in this instance prolonged the life of the deceased, who had almost reached 100 years. The jury returned the following verdict :—" That tha deceased was found dying and did die in a certain tent erected in a field at Old Ford, Victoria Park, and the jurors further say that the said death was from natural causes." The body was afterwards bu ri e d by the Gipsy tribe at persons. the Victoria Park Cemetery, followed by a large cro w d of STATE OF TRADE, _mi l CARDIFF, Aug. 24.—During the month of July there were 283 vessels engaged in the foreign trade of the port, and 105,830 tons of coal were exported, against 138,701 tons in the corresponding mouth, anti 113,018 tons iu the pre vious month. The shipmeuts coastwise reached 70 ' 722 t o ns, as compared with 81 , !,(3173 tons in June. 'ibi s large de wale in both the foreign and COR9tViSO coal trade ii attri buted mainly to the scarcity of tonnage, and at the com mencement of the month there was also a slight dulness evinced in the demand. Ot iron 14,123 tons were exported, being a decrease of 1,546 tons as compared with the pre vious month Out of this New York took no less than 4,507 tons, which shows that the American demand is still large. The arruktice was als..) taken advantage of to send nearly 2,000 tons of railway iron to Altona.
