The above-named Company is established for the purpose of acquiring the valuable business founded and organised by the late Br. S. F. Somes, in conjunction with his brother, the late Mr. Joseph Somes, M.P., and continued and further de veloped by Messrs. homes Brothers, the present Vendors. The undeniable success of shipowners of established re putation affords ample proof that, as an investment, shipping property, well managed, is highly profitable, and the large fortunes accumulated by the late Mr. Joseph Somes, Thomas Ward, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, Mr. Richard Green, and others, amply confirm this statement. The importance of commencing this Company's operations with an established business of more than ordinary repute is felt to be considerab e. . With this object the Directors have arranged to purchase the fine fleet of modern-built ships belonging to the eminent firm of Messrs. Somes Brothers, together with their valuable and commodious Graving Docks on the Thames, known as the Canal Dockyard, Poplar, and the valuable plant of every description attached thereto. This fleet, numbering 15 vessels, comprises ships bu It of wood and iron, many being upwards of 1,000 tons register, the whole of which are now in active and remunerative employ ment in the East India, China, and Australian trades. They are highly adapted for the conveyance of troops and for tran sport service, and have been so employed by the Government when required, and they bear a high i eputation in the mer cantile marine of this country. The following detailed list gives the names, tonnage, and character of each Ship, viz. : Name. Tonnage. Where Built. Class at Lloyd's. Ade aide ........ 640 C lcutta l2 A 1 Red.

Peeress 777 Sunderland .. 10 A 1 Silver Eagle Star of India .... 1,045 Dundee Tyburnia 1,027 G1a5g0w...... 14 A 1 16,623 tons. The Graving Docks are freehold, with a River Thames. The Docks are constrrcted )ntage to the receive ships and steamers of 2,500 tons, 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 order; by so doing 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 accommodati,n in the Thames, com pared with the extent of tonnage that frequents the Port of London, and the constant and pressing demand for docks cf thii magnitude, it is confidently anticipated that this branch f 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, arc 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. Somes 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, &c. 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 subscribiug £lOO,OOO of the capital. The able and active staff of officials will remain in the em ploy of the Company, so th a t the business will not su ff er an hour'sinterruption by the transfer. ex allotmentand be b accompanied made, Applications for the re ma i n i ng shares must be made i n t h e form he amountby a p ay w m i payment of £1 returned d share a ; n i n f no e f or thwith ; if a less numb er b e allotted than is applied for, the amount paid on applicati on w i ll be applied towards the eu payment of the £4 due on allotment, the balance (if any) being returned.

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. went 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 geotlemen,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 manifested 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. HOLCOMB. Niagara Falls, July 19.

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—The 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 bearers 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 b.. 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 full interchange of senti meuts, free discussion of conflicting opinions, and i 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, but the uniform declaration of our Executive and Congress, and their thrice-repeated, and as often repulsed, at:empts to open negotiations furnished a sufficient p _edge that this considerate manifestation on thepart of the President of the United States would be met I 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 hart not continued to anim ate the councils of your President. Had the represeintatives of the two Governments met to consider this question, the most momentous ever submitted to hutnan statesmanship, in temper of becoming moderation and equity, followed as their delibetetiona would have been by the prayers and benedictions of every patriot and Christian on the habitable globe, who i s there so bold es to pronounce that the frightful waste of individual happi ness and public pr osperity which is daily sad- THE WELLINGTON THREE SHILLING DINNER, consisting of Soup, Fish, Made Dish, Joint, Sweet, ac., is served from 3 to 9 p.m. The SALOON DINING ROOMS on the First Floor are open for Luncheons at 1 o'clock.

STAMPED ....sd. dening the universal heart might not have been terminated, or, if the el: pletion and carnage of war must still be endured through weary years of blood and suffering, that there might 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 neitherGoverntnent compromised 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 ehange 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 no 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 Confee derate States who has clung to the hope that pesos 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 suffering 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 laud 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, 1"J. B. HOLCOMB, Commissioners. " To the Hon. H. Greeley." SPOUTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACE S.--TUESDAY. A slight flavour of Good wood lingers round the Brighton meeting. The aristocratic crowd congregated at the dueal gathering has not yet dispersed itself to its autumn recrea tions, and consequently there is a sprinkling of those turf Itabilus 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 4eficient 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, Fillo 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• t ar ed. There was no betting on future events. The Bristol Plate of 50 sous (handicap), for all ages. One mile. Lord Uxbridge's The Tyke, 3 yrs, bet 101 b (S. Adams) 1 Mr Saxon's Jane Shore, 3 yrs, Est 71b (H.

The betting opened at 6 to 4 agst Deerfoot, but upon his retirement it closed at 2 to 1 aget Jane Shore, 3 to 1 agst The Tyke, and 5 to 1 aget 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 bend. 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 advanca 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 Second Year of the Twelfth Brighion Biennial Stakes of 10 soya each, with 100 added, for foals of 1861; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b. Winners extra. One mile. 19 subs.

The start was delayed by the breaking away of Wick et, Iscoid, and the Miss Lavinia colt ; the two f orm er 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 Confusion 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 one was beaten easily by a length; a bad third. The winner was bought in for 95 guineas, and Iscoid was sold to Mr Mather for 31 guineas. each, forsinlil e a . 1 The Marine Plate o f 100 sous (Handica p ), ad ded to a sless übwinners extra; s.

Aunt Judy was the first away, followed by Bally Edmond and Redcap, but, after rumaing to the stand, the was headed by the latter,who went on with the running, Mag num Bonum lying third, with Captain Crow, Auntj Judy, Madcap and The Stranger following in the order we have given them. In these positions they ran to the first turn, where the favourite, outpaced, dropped back, and his place was taken by Mr Fleming's colt, close up with whom were Aunt Judy, Madcap, and Captain Crow, who ran in com pany round the far turn. On re-entering the old course, however, Redcap naturally increased his lead, still having Magnum Bonum and Madcap and Captain Crow as his immediate followers. Bally Edmond at the same time, in consequence of the pace slackening, 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 halfway up the hill, but was never enabled to reach the leader, who won very cleverly by a length and a half ; a length separated the second and third, and half that dis tance dividing the third and fourth. The others were pulling up as they came past the stand. The Brighton Nursery Stakes (handicap) of 10 soya each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for 2-yr-olds. Winners extra. T.Y.C.

Spain cut out the work at his best pace, followed by Vigi lant, Nukuheva, the favourite, Belle of Kars, Chesterfield, and Rose of Denmark, to the bend for home, where Spain was beaten, and the running was taken up by Vigilant, in company with British Queen, who carried it on into the bottom, where the pair declined, and were passed by Mr Morris's filly, who came on with a slight lead of Attache, next the rails, Belle of Kars, and British Queen. This lot ran in company to the stand, when the former drew away and won with extreme ease at last by three lengths ; a bad third ; Rose of Denmark finished fourth, Vigilant fifth, and British Queen sixth. The last lot comprised Spain, Simple Maid, Eltham, Roarer, and King of Greece.

This grand annual aquatic carnival commenced at Cowes yesterday with the race for the Prince of Wales's Cup— 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 sines 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 prise 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 correapon dence between Sir R. Peel and Admiral Rous, is taken from the Consolidated Fund, and is therefore public money given fer 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 yachts 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 our 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 line 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 raoe 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 Alerte, 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 are 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 Alerts 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 rounded the 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 Alert° being a new vessel, her doings were looked forward to with some interest. At 1 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 batting 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 com pleted as follows : it. It 8 . Arrow ........................ 2 31 38 Alerte Phosphorus Terpsichore .................. 3 11 30 The yachts now commenced their second round of the course, but, from the adverse state of the tide and the posi tion and force of the wind, there was every probability of its ending at too late an hour for any details to be given. 13y referring to th e ti me in which the first round was com pleted, it will be seen that the Alerte was only two minutes 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 all accidents and providing the Phosphorus did not vastly improve her position, virtually won by the Alerte, The Alerte 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 ov er y es t er d a y, o p en t o y a chts belonging to any Royal Yacht Club. There will mcst probably not be over eight vessels start, but oven with this small number a strong breeze would r en d er th e ra ce one of interest, owing to the admission of other " cracks" to the contest than those belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron. The Arrow won the Prince of Wales Cup. The Prince went out in the Fairy to witness the contest, PENNY OMNIBUSES. -- Yesterday morning the omnibuses running between Westminster and Oxford-street, and Camden Town and Oxford-street, wore carrying pas sengers at Id each.
