STRAND THEATRE. to walk into a country when fighting seemed over, but drawing back as soon as it found it must face enemies whom the Tub could easily van- quish. Yet this is the contemptible power which em barrasses our movements most of all. We be lieve the Cabinet friends of Russia would be unable to resist the popular voice, were not those who care least for Russia inclined to be very court-eons to Austria, and but too willing to please the less cruel, perhaps, but imbecile and vacillating despot of Prussia. Two worthless families, not two nations—the HAPSBURGS and Horan TZOLLERN 3—not the countries they defraud and oppress under the name of governing, have kept the war back till they have almost lost England and France a campaign, and doubled or trebled the cost to this nation 1 It is a grave question, indeed, whether a Cabinet which has thus sacri ficed our opportunities, our allies, our money, and we fear in. the long run the blood of our sailors and soldiers, to keep square with Governments loathed by this country only less than Russia, ought to be trusted from under the eye of Parliament. We think it ought not. Never was it more the duty of our repre sentatives to be prepared to sacrifice the pleasures of grouse and partridge shooting if necessary, or to submit to spend some of their time at West minster in the autumn, than now. The country has paid, is asked to pay, and will be asked again and again, and as guardians of the people's purses, not to speak of their honour, it behoves the members of the House of Commons to keep our Government under its eye while the money is being spent. The nation will not have work for its money unless' our u • s'sters do it under their Master's eye. There is one thing which, after all that has been said, the people of this country are yet ap prehensive of, and that is the leaning of the Court, the unconscious leaning, as many suppose. It is difficult to believe that when all the rela tionships of the highest . personages in the king dom are continental—German, in fact,—when relatives of the first subject in the realm are parts of Courts and armies all protected by the virtual suzerainty of Russia against their own peoples, all implicated, more or less, with Austria and Prussia—it is difficult to believe that the Court can wish to pursue a bold and free po 1-icy, caring nothing whether these two Powers and the petty States of Germany are pleased or displeased. England wishes Germany were sent to the dogs, to use our homely native idiom, 30 far as this war is concerned, but can, our Court wish it ? and can therefore a Ministry which would enjoy Court favour wish it ? No conscious disregard of England's interests is suspected in the highest quarters, but the country is getting again very impatient at seeing that Austria and Prussia can disgrace themselves to the utter most, and that yet they are coaxed, not snubbed, by a Cabinet more popular with the court than with the nation. Till all this is altered and Germany thrown overboard, we think it unsafe to trust our PEELITES, at least, with the nation's money. Indeed, the true way to bring Austria and Prussia to our feet is to show them that we deem them as worthless as they are. An efficient blow at Russia in the Black Sea, especially if sustained by another in the Baltic, would teach the craven despots of Berlin and Vienna whose friendship was best worth having. But for the love of NICHOLAS and METTERNICH, these blows would have been struck, probably, already. It is not quite too late now, but nothing can be hoped for unless Ministers are kept under the observation of Par liament. Lessee %fr. F. W. Al!croft.

There cannot any longer be a doubt as to the folly of.our dreaming of winning over the CZAR to peace by mere diplomatic negotiations. That is settled beyond any further question, by the last document put forth as the expression of the policy and intentions of the Russian Government. The atrocious letter, we mean of course, addressed in the tame of the AtrrocxAT to Baron BODBERG by the Chancellor' of the EMpire, NzSSELICODE-L--- having reference to the Boyards of Wallachia. Now that that most execrable evidence of the the arrogance of the Emperor NICHOLAS, of his cruelty, and of his desperation has been formally placed before the world by the simple fact of its publication—the mask has fallen from the face of the CZAR, his wiles are scattered to the winds of Heaven, all his spurious pretexts of right and justice are thrown aside as no longer necessary, and the infamy of his whole scheme glares, without a shadow of excuse, upon the recognition of Chris- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1854 M ONE Y MA RKE AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,500 American taken for export and on speculation. The market continued tame but steady. The sales comprised 6,250 American, 150 Egyptian, at 6d. to 70 2 and 500 Surat, at 3d to 41d. per lb. Rail- way Shares were dull. At the public sales of 18,722 deer, 2,607 fawn, and 16 elk skins, the demand has been very ani mated. Canada shaved went rather lower than last March, but skins in the hair, both Canada and western, particularly firsts and seconds, sold much higher. Freights to Australia are still dull, the last ad vices from tile colony showing an excess of goods yet on hand. The Weekly Shipping List quotes the rates for Melbourne or Geelong—wharves, 855.; ditto to the bay, 50s. to 555. ; and Sydney, 455. to 50s. per ton. The Ninth Annual Report of the Australian Mining Company has been issued in anticipation of the meeting of shareholders on the 31st instant. The most interesting points are contained in the following extracts : " It was not until the latter end of January last, that Mr. Forster felt himself in a position to commence ope rations in earnest ; and he has since been actively en gaged in connecting Masterman's shaft with the engine on the opposite side of Reedy Creek, for the purpose of applying the necessary power to drain the water. This will enable him to proceed with the sinking of Master man's shaft, an operation considered by Captain Hitchins and Mr. Forster of paramount importance, and pro mising favourable results ; and in the desirability of which your Directors most fully concur, as it will have the positive effect of fully testing the mine. "In addition to this, Mr. Forster is busily engaged in the erection of a furnace near the mine, for the pur pose of smelting on the spot, all the halvans which will not repay the present heavy charges for land carriage to Adelaide, in addition to the freight home ; and when this furnace is completed and in working trim, he will be able to ship the produce of no less than five or six hundred tons of ore, now lying at grass. An equal quantity is considered to be scattered through the mine; and a further quantity now in sight will be raised on tribute ; so that for this ore, the Company will at least have paid less than its marketable value. "After August next the surface lands will be leased out in blocks of from 3,000 to 4,000 acres each, suitable for dairy farms ; and as your property there is better watered than most of the surrounding districts and lies within a short distance of the River Murray, there can be little doubt of the valuation and rental of your pro perty becoming yearly improved." The last 1/. call produced 18,0421., and 956 shares have been forfeited. The total liabilities of the company are 4,6021., and the assets valuing the land, irrespective of the minerals, are 32,886/. A Royal and a Colonial charter have been applied for. The following testimony to the progress of South Australia is important : " Your directors have to congratulate you on the fur ther development of the navigation of the River Mur ray, by Captain Cadell, and to express to you their hope that the only obstacle now in the way of a cheap and expeditious carriage of the ore from Tungkillo to the sea—viz., the absence of healthy competition among vessels trading on that river—will be speedily removed. " The high road from Adelaide to the nearest point on the Murray. must pass either through or in close proximity to your property. This must bring about a positive increase of no slight character in the territorial value of your 20.000 acres of land at Tungkillo. " Your directors have great pleasure in reporting to you the general and almost unparalleled prosperity of the colony at large. The lately-arrived emigrant is fast becoming the farmer and small landed proprietor : the small landed proprietor of yesterday is the comparatively wealthy man of to-day : the little huckster of yesterday is now a shopkeeper ; the shopkeeper a merchant ; and in this general prosperity of all claeses you must silently participate. A territory such as yours, in a fast-grow ing country, needs only time to become intrinsically valuable as land : its value as a mineral property the directors trust will be shown, now that labour is be coming favourable, and you are served by agents whose assiduity and knowledge of their respective duties, as well as their gentlemanly bearing, your directors have again great pleasure in recording. Great assistance to the company, ere the last call was paid, is stated to have been rendered by its bankers, Messrs. John Masterman and Co. The English and Australian Copper Company have had their meeting this morning. The report states that the great difficulty still is scarcity of labour, but otherwise the prospects of the under taking appear to be encouraging. The following are extracts " Whereas the quantity of copper made in the year ending March, 1852 was 1,823 tons, in the last year it has been only 228 tons. "The smelting works were at a stand between April, August, and again between August and February. " The quantity of ore shipped to England since the last report has been 4,084 tons. "The position of the company in the colony is sound and healthy. " And this last remark lead us to the subject of finance; and you will notice that on 31st of December, 1853, £. s. d "Balance at South Australian Bank to our credit was 3,744 14 8 "At Union Bank to our credit l,BlO 5 4 "That our liabißies on 31st December were simply, copper due to the South Australian Mining Association, 124 tons, 5 cwt. 2 qrs. 16 lbs. ; money orders in circu lation, 4,5201. Bs. 7d. ; and that the debts due to the company at that date are set forth in balance sheet, and are all good. "The perusal of these advices will show the difficul ties which the Managers have had to contend with, from the cause already prominently referred to. It is one over which the Directors can exercise no control. Emi gration is still going on from this country ; not a month passes without ships being despatched with emigrants for all the sections of Australia ; and it is not unreason able to indulge the hope, that the supply of labour may at length become equal to the demand for it. "It will be seen that a part of the furnaces were at work again in February and March, and that they were making about 30 tons of copper per week. It is ear nestly to be hoped that they may continue so. "The stock of ore which remained on band in Aus tralia, on the 4th of March last, was 4,679 tons, and of coal, 3,508 tons. " The company's works at Spitty have been in satis factory operation during the year. The nett profit realised has been 11,1791. 14s. 4d. " The Directors, finding that a considerable economy would be effected in the cost of coal for the works at Spitty, have secured the lease of a coal-field in the im mediate neighbourhood of the works, from which the works are now being supplied. The outlay on this pro perty has besu 2,014/. 48. 2d. The railway meetings announced are the fol lowing : Company. Date. Place. Central Peninsula of Portugal Aug. 1, Lisbon.

The Poictiers is in from the same place, but the amount on board is not known. The steamer Europa, from New York, brings 353,670 dollars. Several additional failures had occurred, owing to the suspension of Messrs.

In pursuance of his blasphemous course, when closing his first and most mendacious Manifesto with a verse from the Royal Psalmist, and when chanting Te Deuni in his Cathedral over a brutal and lawless massacre of his fellow-creatures, the CZAR has dared to assert as a simple fact, through the document penned in his name by his imperial Chancellor NESSELRODE-- -that he is with GOD and that GOD is with him —adding in proof of the veracity of his avowal that victory still continues on the side of Russia ! Victory still on the side of Russia—notwithstand ing the Turkish triumphs of Giurgevo, and Tur tukai, and Citate, and Oltenitza, notwithstanding the driving back of the Muscovite invaders from the Danube to the Sereth, notwithstanding their repulse under the glorious ramparts of Silistria, not withstanding the destruction, since the commence ment of the campaign, of nearly 50,000 of the Russian soldiers, and the killing of their two great generals, LUDERS and SCHILDERS, and the wounding of their joint commanders GORTZCHAKOFF and PASKIEWITCH ! In spite of all which facts, patent to the knowledge of any one who reads the newspapers, NESSELRODE, speaking in the name of the Czar NICHOLAS, in the flagitious and mendacious document in which he urges Baron BUDBERG to deal heavily with the recusant Boyards of Wallachia, asserts, has the consummate effrontery to assert, that victory is on the side of Russia, venturing upon this monstrous untruth in testimony that the CZAR is with GOD, and that GOD is with his Government ! The blasphemies of the AUTOCRAT could scarcely go further. To avenge and silence whose impious audacity alone, if for no other reason—England and France should tarry no longer, but arise in their might, and, with humble reliance upon the aid of HEAVEN, vin dicate the justice of their cause, the justice of a cause which is not one of political conquest or of territorial spoliation, but one simply in behalf of peace and of humanity, of religion as opposed to fanaticism, of civilization as opposed to barbarism, of freedom as opposed to autocracy. A subject of deep and paramount importance will be discussed, and possibly decided, this even ing. The guardians of the public purse are in- vited to surrender the trust confided to their charge—to permit Lord ABERDEEN and his col- leagues to dispose at his and their mere will and pleasure of no less than three millions sterling of the public money, and that without having the slightest notion as to the mode in which that money is to be applied, or how a considerable portion of it is to be raised. Would it be wise, or even constitutional, to concede this unreason. able request ? Can the popular branch of the Legislature be thus permitted not merely to abdi cate its functions, but to transfer them to other hands ? Can any amount of " confidence" justify a proceeding so insane and suicidal ? No matter whether the Minister for the time being required the " curb" or the " spur"—whether he :was desirous of pressing on vigorously and decisively, even incautiously and recklessly, or lingering in the background, so as to render the British power more formidable to friends than foes, the Commons House of Parliament should vindicate its own position, and refuse to transfer the control and management of affairs from its own hands to any others, however capable or deserving. The most trusted and trustworthy should not demand so great a sacrifice, nor should the chosen represen tatives of the people disgrace themselves by esta blishing a precedent so fraught with danger to popularrights and privileges as that now attempted to be established. What is it that has established the predominance of the democratic element in the British Constitu tion ? What is it that has insured the ultimate success of any matter emphatically and decisively taken up by the multitude, in favour whereof the voice of public opinion has audibly pronounced ? Simply the tightness of the hold retained over the national purse-strings by the elective branch of Parliament, by those who must peri-_ odically render accounts of their respective stewardships, and on the faith of their past con duct found their claims for a renewal of confidence. It is that which gives strength and vitality to " the pressure from without." If that were yielded either to force or fraud, farewell to the British Constitution. Ministries would no longer be com posed of squeezable materials. The limited Monarchy, the boast and pride of our forefathers, could no longer be maintained, and we should be satisfied to live under a despotism or an oligarchy ! What is now achieved by a peaceful vote in the Lower House could then only be attained by street-fighting.. Our " revolutions " would no longer be "bloodless." If the Government be came unpopular, the feeling might no longer be appeased by a change of Ministers. The dynasty might be imperilled, and the throne of our be loved SOVEREIGN endangered by a criminal yield ing to the unjustifiable demands of her Cabinet. It has become so common as to have passed into a proverb, that "what has been acquired by British arms, has 'been lost by British diplomacy." Are we to place additional powerin the hands of these incompetent negotiators to remove the only check that can influence their proceedings ? We have already seen the futility of their attempts to bring about a favourable solution of the existing difficulty—have deplored the time wasted previously to the commencement of the present Session. The convocation of Par- liament, however, supplied the necessary stimulus, auesomething was done almost immediately after the delivery of the Royal Speech. To what, then, are we indebted for the little that has been ac complished, save to the necessity of satisfying the representatives of the British people ? Lord ABERDEEN would scarcely favour the public with explanations or renunciations of any declarations he might have made, or views that might have improvidently been brought to light, if there were no impending motion to be got rid of—no inconvenient ques tion to be shelVed. We owe much to Parlia ment, but never has its influence and power been more urgently required than at the present time ; and if, in consideration of its past labours, we feel called upon to consent to a temporary va cation, it cannot be for a very protracted period. We are fully aware of the many serious objec tions to an autumnal sitting. It will not do to have " all work and no play;" ,and legislators and Ministers require relaxation as well as those en gaged in other avocations. But surely two months are amply sufficient for the pursuit of health or pleasure, and they may easily return to their duties in October ; so far, at least, as to de cide on questions relating to the war, and the granting of the necessary supplies for its continu ance. Never, indeed, was a meeting of Parlia ment more essential to the welfare, not merely of the British nation, but to the interests of the civilised world—to the safety of freedom and con stitutional government where they now exist, and to their progress through other lands, in which, a s yet, they are unknown. The members of Parliament who, at such an emergency, would suffer themselves to be influenced by any personal considerations, either of anticipated en joyments that must be relinquished, or possible inconvenience that may be sustained by the au tumnal session are unworthy of their position, and should make way for better men. Let them "go in for boredom," or anything else they think .proper, but no longer seek the suffrages of inde ' pendent constituencies—who require more earnest and devoted persons for the performance of the indispensable work which' the others are too in dolent or too much " used up " to discharge. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. It was attended by the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord John Russell, the Marquis ' of Lansd owne , the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, Viscount Palmerston, the Earl of Clarendon, Sir George Grey, the Duke of Newcastle, Sir James Graham, Sir Charles Wood, Sir William Molesworth, and Earl Granville.

The Turk cannot live without a story-teller, nor the civilised European without a book. In a coun try like this, where much labour calls for some solace, and much idleness for some resource, the writings which circulate most are of the kind termed " light literature." Of this light literature the best and raciest portion is that which we derive from our humourists. It is the portion which con veys the most pleasure, and along with the pleasure infuses much philosophy and much wisdom. There are good reasons why here in England we should set store by this class of writers. They are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. Humour, as opposed to wit, may almost be called a physical peculiarity ; it results from something kindly and home - spun in the nature rather than from anything induced by education, and is consequently to be found in the rudest as well as in the most refined of men. It is a property by which the English people are distinguished from their neighbours of the continent. It is essentially different from the liveliness of the French or the sentiment of the German writer ; it belongs to a healthy and vigor ous temperament, to a land of beef and barley, of sport and slang, where the honest emotions are not destroyed by overuse, but live and arc strong. It speaks a language understood by the people. It links together the rich and the poor, the learned and the unlearned, by its naturalness and univers ality. Pathos and humour are, as it were, grief and laughter done into speech, and, as laughter is good for the digestive organs, so is humour good for the spirit of a man. It is not long since Mr. Thackeray undertook to illus trate the marked and peculiar character, the strong outlines and skilful touches, of the old English humourists. Those who want a more modern exposition of the thing may find it in the Pickwick Papers and in the poems of Thomas Hood. There are, we suppose, two reasons why a public monument to Thomas Hood was deferred until July, 1854—the one, that our humourists, much as they are studied and loved, are not themselves understood so well as their works. Is this an irre mediable stupidity ? The second, that the works of Thomas Hood being distributed in reviews and periodicals, did not speak with sufficient clearness and unity during his life. But why were they so distributed ? Because they were thus easiest con vertible into bread ; yet they had been still better than they are but for his necessity of writing in periodicals, and have doubtless done more good in their permanent than in their casual form. In the address which Mr. Monckton. livered the other day on the inauguration of Hood's monument he touched slightly on this very prac tical point of common ingratitude—an ingratitude which is one half intellectual, and the other half moral. The life of Hood was no easy one. Some of his most popular and most genial compositions were written during times of privation and suffer ing. Mirth, as one of his admirers has said, gave him to be reared by Sorrow. His latest eulogist went in person to the late Sir Robert Peel to ask an aid, which was never, in such cases, refused. In his address he was good enough to propose that the posthumous tribute to Hood's genius should be considered as the memorial of national inte rest for national fame. Now, it strikes us that there must be a good many people who have had interest in Hood, alive or dead, who ought to feel not a little obliged by this proposition, coming from a person who took upon him all their respon sibilities in the matter, and we take the liberty to enforce a lesson which Mr. Milnes hesitated to enunciate, lest he should exalt himself by contrast. There is a real ingratitude involved in losing sight of an author in the perusal of his works, and some loss of advantage in separating the product of a man's intellect and character from his flesh and blood. Between booksellers and readers there is a cash transaction, sound and intelligible ; between the writer and the reader there exist other obliga tions—there is an outstanding balance on the author's side, with an unlimited term for payment. The " Song of the Shirt" is national, and may per haps be as historical, as " Chevy Chase." Mr. Milnes quoted other compositions not less, but rather more, sure of enduring memory. Perhaps' in denouncing a common fault we may fail of pro ducing deep conviction ; it is difficult, too, for the 'public to exercise a discriminating and wise grati tude towards its instructors, however the ground can be retrenched so that the admonition may be applied by the individual conscience. Suppose that there are friends of Thomas Hood—whether ac quaintances in the flesh or admirers in the spirit — but who yet conveyed no aid to his want, or no assistance to his monument ; suppose that there are others now for the first time reminded by Mr. Milnes' address of Hood's va lue as a writer—of Hood's struggles as a man ;--let these accept their remaining opportunities. Recurrence is a very hill. , an law. Virgil says, in his eclogue, " there w ill be some day another " Priam and another Achilles." Beyond all doubt there will be other Hoods ; and, if a man is too late to erect a sepul chre for a prophet deceased, perchance he may look him out some prophet, present and living, to cherish. SEVERE CONTEST FOR A CHURCH RATE AT GREAT MARLOW. On Friday, the 21st inst., the ratepayers were called together for the purpose of passing the churchwardens accounts, and levying a rate for the ensuing year. The Rev. F. Bussell took the chair as the clock struck twelve, and proceeded with the accounts, in which many illegal charges were included, such as for bell ringing. bellows blowing, organist, choir, holly and ivy to deco rate church, &c. &c., to these items no objection was insisted on, as the churchwardens had paid them, and would be out of pocket if struck out of the accounts. The friends of civil and religious liberty, consisting of liberal Churchmen, Dissenters, and Catholics, only wishing to give support to Sir W. Clay's motion, for the total abolition of church-rates, by moving an amendment in vestry, and trying the question in a peaceable and good spirit, consequently on the churchwardens asking for a rate of threepence in the pound, without producing an estimate of expenses. Joseph Wright, Esq., moved, as an amendment, "That the consideration of the rate be adjourned to this day twelvemonth," which was seconded by Mr. Wane, and carried by a large majority, on which a poll was demanded, and fixed by the chair man to commence at four o'clock and close at eight that evening, and to re-open at ten the next morning, and finally close at four o'clock. The result of the first day's poll gave a majority of 33 in favour of the amendment. This drove the church party frantic, and they immedi ately resorted to all the old and vile practices of electioneering, such as intimidation, eoercion, &c. ; early in the morning landlords were hunting their tenants, employers driving their workmen, brewers clerks scouring out dependents ; to the poll they must come, like sheep to the slaughter. Mother Chnrch could not even spare the sick ! from their beds they must come, to assist in taking the poor man's pittance for the support of the rich man's church. By such means a majority of 10 was secured, after one of the fiercest antests in the annals of parish vestries. The op ponents of church-rates resolved not to sully their cause by the use of foul weapons, and proudly boast that only one shilling was spent by them in the contest, and that to p a y th e t own crier, to give public notice of the poll being opened. Amdt. Agst 255 Close of the poll 143 , first day .......... • Final close --- GRAND FETE AT THE FLORA GARDENS, CAMBER WELL,—A fete of a novel character, and on an extensive scale, is to be given at these gardens to-day, to-morrow, and Wednesday, by Chief Baron Nicholson, of the Coal Hole Tavern, Strand. The principal entertainments are to consist of hurdle and other races, with lady jotskrsy„ fcr ter: , • , r considerable Between the heats of each race there will be music, rustic spurts, &c. In the evening there is to be a magnificent equestrian cavalcade, by torchlight, of Lady Godiva's ride through Coventry. The fine weather will no doubt attract a large aasemblage. SPORTING NOTES. GUESSES FOR GOODWOOD. This year at least no diminution is likely to be dis played in the varied " glories" of Goodwood. The meeting about to be celebrated will doubtless be marked by incidents as interesting and important as any that characterised its predecessors. Although the list of at tractions is not so numerically strong as that of some preceding anniversaries, yet it promises a supply of sport sufficiently ample to satisfy the most ardent turfite. Thirty-seven items are distributed over the programme, nine being appointed for Tuesday, nine for Wednesday, eleven for Thursday, and eight for Friday. Relative to the number of events to be decided no shortcomings will be perceptible ; in certain instances, however, the fields will perhaps be small and insignificant. Still, among the competitors for the principal stakes will be found the " flower" of our turf celebrities. Speculation on the Good wood Stakes has recently undergone several perplexing changes. Relative to the leading favourites in particular its fluctuations have been frequent and extraordinary. Tros is perhaps the only animal whose upward tendency in the betting has been steadily sustained. Diana and Heapy rise and fall in the Turf Market in a manner little calculated to engender strong confidence in their respective backers. Neither of them, in fact, possesses sound pretensions to a very prominent position in the list of quotations. Diana's running has been of the veriest leather-flapping mediocrity. She ran somewhat forward for the Oaks, it is true, but her supporters are likely to derive little encouragement from an impartial consideration of that performance, Bribery finished in advance of her for that event, and although she is handicapped to give Diana 6lbs., yet, if a starter, she will indubitably " make her safe." Diana's most noteworthy achievement was per haps at Ascot, where she ran a dead heat with Kenny side Hero for the Great Western Stakes. Is this performance sufficiently important to warrant a belief in her boasted pretensions for the Good wood Stakes ? Report, however, assisms other reasons for deeming her chance formidable. It states that she was tried with Little Harry and " did all that her party required of her." Whether this rumour be true yet remains to be seen ; at present I am not in clined to place faith in it. Although a demonstration was again made in favour of Diana at " the corner" on Saturday, yet, it was not sustained with much spirit. Indeed so scantily was the room attended that the seeming effect which it produced on the state of the odds was perhaps, after all, merely temporary and negative. To explain satisfactorily the sudden retrogression of Heapy is somewhat difficult. Does his owner premedi tate another Liverpool coup? People connected with the turf are daring enough to follow up any bold and successful stroke of policy. Still lam not prepared to say that such are the " intentions" relative to Heapy, and even my suspicions may in this instance be unjust. Heapy's claims to support are seemingly somewhat negative. They do not rest entirely upon the respecta bility of his public performance, but they are apparently put forward because he has not run well when he evi dently had a chance of distinguishing himself. The opportunity which will be afforded him on Wednesday, for a creditable display of what racing ability he may possess, is unquestionably favourable; his lenient im post ought certainly to enable him to figure promi nently in the encounter. All sorts of rumours are cir culated to account for his downward tendency in the betting ; some state that he pulled up lame after galloping ; others have a touch of sarcasm and badinage in them, and are to the effect that the Duke of Rich mond may deem him not qualified to run, according to the strict spirit of the Goodwood conditions, because he has not yet won a race ! Tros is an animal seemingly much improved on 'his two-year old form. They who have bad frequent oppor tunities of seeing him at exercise are loud in their praises of his style of going and general appearance, and indeed declare the race " all over but shouting." Tros has a steady weight upon him that will enable a lad and not a mere child to ride him, a great advantage over so severe a course as that at Goodwood. By the way, it is probable that Carroll will have the mount. lam in clined to place some confidence in the formidableness of Tree's chance, not only because he has maintained his position in the betting with firmness, but because not a doubt exists as to his " going for the money." The white and red spots of Lord Zetland, then, I shall ex pect to see borne prominently in the van. Much uncertainty exists as to the intended animal of Messrs. Payne and Greville's lot. No determined demonstration has yet been made in favour of one of the animals which comprise it. A few investments have at various times been made on Muscovite, Adine, and Cock Pheasant ; bbt no disposition has been evinced to keep them in the market. To use a slang phrase in common use on the Turf, an opinion prevails—an opinion, too, which I am inclined to entertain—that the intended animal will be a " hot 'un." The betting at present, however, gives no indication As to which animal will be selected to do battle for the party. A vague rumour is. afloat, to the effect that the " lot" was tried with Bri bery, who proved the best of the bunch. Be this as it may, I shall deem the trusted representative of Messrs. Payne and Greville's interest a most dangerous antago nist. Were Adine or even Cock Pheasant to be the in tended animal, I shall not be surprised.' Muscovite I cannot stand. He has too, it is said, been recently in •physic. . The Duchess of Lorraine colt has been much talked about, and he has been more than once expected to achieve some important victory. Whether his good time is now come is in my opinion somewhat doubtful. I must confess that for me his stable companion Jacque line has greater attractions. This mare is weighted at. 11b. less than when she won the Northumberland Stakes, and with little Ashmall's assistance her success is not a matter of remote probability. Notwithstanding his crushing impost, Rataplan has many supporters who deem his chance by no means " out." I, however, am compelled to doubt his ability to pull through. He will, nevertheless, run well and gamely. It is said that his owner, Mr. Tom Parr, will be " up." The confidence which certain parties again place in . Nancy. is really. extraordinary. lam compelled to ac knowledge that it sorely puzzles me, for they have now no apparent purpose to answer in supporting her in the market. That they do support her, is undeniable. The " Man in the Street" too unhesitatingly expresses his belief that Nancy is again in her old form. I must, however, regard her with doubt and suspicion, and can not allow her to influence the conclusion at which I may arrive as to the result of the race. I shall not extend my observations to the other animals comprising the "out side division," but shall merely indicate the following to be the most note-worthy names among them :—Cobnut, Jouvence, Exeter, and Miss Tennyson. Having " summed up" as briefly as the subject would admit the pretensions of the principal horses handi capped, I will without further preamble express my deliberate -opinion that TROS, the BEST OF MESSRS. GREVILLE AND PAYNE'S (PERHAPS ADINE), AND HEAPY will be the foremost competitors in the race. Should these hopes be wrecked, Jacqueline and Jouvence shall form a " cockboat " which may carry me successfully l oh n shall vi re b ar e r inclined efp t o o or r f tt o he over the sea bt tcs enu o ngp f se and ofStockwell c l k, t Stockwell,wsito eani G lo o w l o n d t htwheoeob absence all d l db r ee feomr i right, h vi t a m , pral and should s s hul d h confidence o successe t neions placed i r ac ce t er he dtann lists t\ryc i f Virago, gpoo,er Perhaps , s all a pd l sout hi oi l as to the starting of Hermit should be removed. Some people say that he, after all, will be the card to win With. The owner of Virago has, too, it is said, an interest in Rataplan. Should the favourite not be quite so good as when she won the Metropolitan, Muscovite may have a chance. These remarks are written on the presumption that Stockwell will be an absentee. The great length to which my observations on the Stakes and Cup have extended compels me to dismiss the minor items of the programme in a few words .- 1 West Australian will, of course, win the 300 sovs Sweep ' stakes ; the Gratwicke Stakes will I expect be won by the best of John Scott's, or Boer ; the Ham Stakes I assign to Dirk Hatteraick, and the Levant to either Kingstown or Lord of the Isles. Of the seventy-five handicapped for the Stewards' Cup, I shall " stand on " the following—Ephesus, Brocket, Vaultress, Narcissus, Nelly Hill, Glenstrae, A.nteverta, and El Dorado. For the Matches, Diomedia and William Rufus are my " fancies." Acrobat may go through . his "Drawing Room" performance successfully. Marsyas will, per haps, win the 300 Sovs Sweepstakes, Craven Course. Dirk Hatteraick, Paletot, and Joshua, are my selec tions for the Great North and South of England Biennial Stakes. Andover will doubtless win the 50 Sovs Sweepstakes on Thursday, Lord of the Isles the Molecombe Stakes, Scythian or Acrobat the Racing Stakes, and Dirk Hatteraick the 200 Sovs. Sweepstakes. The three Bentinck Memorial Stakes will, I anticipate, be carried off respectively by West Australian, Mar syas, and Paletot. July 24. A FRESH MAN, ARRIVALS AT GOODWOOD UP TO SUNDAY NIGHT.

A private letter from Constantinople of the 9th states that the Turko-Egyptian division sent to the Asiatic coast, under the orders of Hassan. Pasha, had succeeded in landing a supply of arms, ammu nition, and field artillery for Schamyl's army, which was every day undergoing a more regular organi sation. MONTENEGRO. The news of an insurrection at Bielopavlich and Berda is confirmed. _ - Prince Da,nilo, with 7,000 men, marched to Berda, and restored tranquillity there. PROCLAMATION OF PRINCE GORTS KOFF (THE GENERAL) TO THE DO BRUDSCHIANS. The Lloyd of Vienna publishes the following proclamation from Prince Gortschakoff to the habitants of the Dobrudscha :-- "Our victorious troops, with the benediction of God' having succeeded in delivering you from the sav'ege Turks, and supporting you in the exercise of your re' ligion, which is also ours, I consider it my duty t. 7 form you that we are obliged to quit you at present to fight against another enemy. We hope that God wil l . • allow us to conquer it, as we have the Turks. Pray': 11l your churches, which we have enriched with so m. any gifts, for our success. The Russian crosses glitter protidli on the summit of your towers, from which 112° unbelievers will never dare to remove them. During our momentary absence the Turks will return to your country to take vengeance on you, for they are pable of doing so on us. Come with us ; the ('o r hereby informs you that his empire is large enough to• re ceive you and feed you all, were you one hundred ti tnes more numerous. On the left bank of the Dniester th=ere are extensive and fertile countries, which, at the price of a little cultivation, give abundant fruits. ,Go them to that district, and abandon this cursed and inhospita, l ble land. They who respond to that appeal will be with eels and will receive large succour from the Czar in morel and corn ; whilst they who remain here and refuse to proceed to that blessed land, will be struck with ,the malediction of God, and the anger of our Czar will know how to reach them." Igen " This proclamation," says the Lloyd, " W a4 tg/ to all the villages by Cossacks, who horribly maltreetu`• all who refused to follow the Russians. In the cow' mune of Kassimitshi, nine of the ten Cossacks who to° l ‘ the proclamation were killed ; and' as the other cora' munes joined that just named in resisting the Rusiden, 4 these latter were obliged to suspend for a tine t u° punishment which they wanted to inflict on the disobe dient communes. It is true that Mustapha Pacha, is at Satebey with 29,000 men, may have contributed "`', that result. A, letter from Moldavia states that seve r new bridges have been thrown over the Pruth, Pe'" Skulini. Three new bridges have also been constructed over the Sereth, near Nemolosa. Great fortificatiO ns are being made at Ismail." THE ALLIED ARMIES IN THE EAST. SCHUMLA, July 10.—Three Austrian officerA of a l rank have arrived as Commissioners of the Impel' army, and left to-day for Varna. Omer Pasha has returned from Varna, and 0 03 in a day or two to Rustchuk. A detachment of English cavalary, under Lor d Cardigan, has arrived here, after a long recO lv nctissance on the banks of the Danube. The detachment returns to-day to Devno, frr in which place it has been absent about a fortnight' The Moniteur de l' Armee publishes accounts fro Varna of the 9th instant : •"l'he allied armies," its says, " were still encarriPacl in the neighbourhood. Their sanitary condition 1 ", excellent. The troops occupied a high tableland a log% and a half distant from the town, and in nowise suffo re m from the intense heat that prevailed. The only fact "i be noticed—and in a political point of view it is rol, important—was the arrival at Shumla, at the Il ea quarters of the Generalissimo, Omer Pasha, of Lieot e. ant-Colonel Kalisch and two other Aust r ian office" - ; On the 10th they were expected at Varna, where t.b. e .' were going to concert measures with the Genera,lo°. Chief of the allied armies. Our letters confirm th ° doubts we have already expressed relative to the part ic „ v pation of any portion of the allied troops in the engag e inents fought between the Ottoman and Russian arn since the siege of Silistria. They positively state Ol t down to the 10th not a single French regiment had I ' . the camp at. Varna. This delay, however, has be de turned to account. The army is now well organis e The second division had arrived by land. During ltd long march from Boulair to Varna our soldiers adtvir; ably bore the fatigue of the road, which was renderei: still more difficult by the heat and want of water. tary discipline was strictly observed, private prope r ; was respected, and wherever they encamped they ef; ‘ , fully avoided injuring the crops in the ground. J - a Generals-in-Chief had completed their preparations, 3% sent several officers to the Danube to reconnoitre t" country between Rustchuk and Silistria. A su b-inte rs, dant, accompanied by a chief physician and a number:, officers of the administration, left Varna, on the 9th, ; explore the resources of the Upper Danube as far 7; Belgrade. Two other officers had gone on board, Vauban to execute a similar reconnai ssance i n the d r h e ft Lion of Batoum and along the coast of Circassia, so t ", 1 „ - , ) when operations commence, no matter on what side, army will be ready to act." The following is an extract from a letter writteo by officer the 17th ncers : " an CAMr, DE of VNA 7 July 7. La This is, I think, the 111oet glorious country in the creation, and I only wish i 6 W to in the hands of our people ; they would know howl• c s make the most of it. But these miserable apthe,ltg, don't know how to appreciate the blessings the lihnie has heaped upon them. You know that Ireland l ei es most fertile country; but, in my opinion, this far surpalsto it. We are situate in a large vale, and the hills arouhu, us are grand, and covered to the summit with luxuri°l foliage, though of stunted growth ; yet there is ve ry little food for the gun beyond lots of doves, which one 110-., less to eat than to shoot. Wild cats, snakes, b d abound, but as they are not eatable, and powder o.l' shot are scarce, in consequence of the limit to ourablolltigt gage, we do not shoot them.
