: 04 4 ,O:EI'IN - (1 °e q., 80C r for the EMAN ,-.--"N„ ufl• If) of INDUSTRY was heid at Exeter Hall kr, .1,! 1. ANDI:Edt * SPOT:ISM:ODE, 'n the rha.:-, tie iwieg resolittiolis were I and cart ~' i-- ; —First —That tats Society =clot refrain expressing soul olsapeoirement at the very unsatisfactory resolutions ' /11' - aduced by Lord John Russell in the Horse of Commons on the of May, for the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition of the Workbig el-asses of the United Kingdom, and of correcting the alarming evil for a hieh. his Lordship did. not aewant, that while " the rich are grOwing richer, the Door are growing poorer;"—and this meeting considers that no professions of sympathy for the dis trassed condition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or be satisfactory to :the country at large, so long as those classes are compelled to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption in a money artinci illy made scarce—a regulation which confers an undue an unnatural advantage upon capital over industry. Second,—That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of actual destitution and suffering under which it is acknowledged the labouring' clas-es in this kingdom are now so largely suffering, in the midst of superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of producing that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own, nor to ant - express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to in iudicioas legislation, of which the most striking example is the per. tiie.ous currency - law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham truly and elnp'hatically denounced as a " delusfon and a fraud." Third,—That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the monetary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro duction to the level of gold prices, while the object of eorn laws, and of all protective laws, is to raise prices above the level of gold, in-order to compensate for heavy taxation ; and thus the one object Is inconsistent with, and contradictory to, the other.—That it is the intention of the Legislature, in levying taxes on commodities, to secure that those taxes should be paid by the consumers generally in a rise of prices ; but the effect of the monetary measures before re ferred to is to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that inten- Con.—That by these means a grievous wrong is inflicted on the pro ducing' classes, the effects of which are observable in the wide-spread pauperism described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in England to inn one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de- pression of the prices of agricultural produce, In consequence of which the warns of the labourer are reduced to their present low and insufli dent rate. tourti ,—That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect taxation in this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both of labour and of the produce of labour ; and that such scale of prices is incompatible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has the effect, not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of that taxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perni ciously restricting the circulating medium of, the country, by making It dependent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England. Fifth,--That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the currency, of the country, like all other commodities, and in obedience to the law of sup ly and demand, prices in the home trade would rise to' a remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our foreign trade, which are now, and always must be, regulated by the market.priee of gold. That competition would prevent home prices from rising in such a circulating medium beyond the level that indi rect taxation justified ; a level below which it is as unjust to the pro ducer as it is dangerous to the public ereditor to reduce them.—That the Go , ernment money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued fur taxes in a shape and in amounts exclusively usettl to the monied class, should be issued in amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of one pound and upwards ; that these notes being necessarily confined . within the amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re present that property which the Government annually draws from the.people in taxes, and wou'd form the legal-tender money of the nation.—That labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re (ward, while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed from their present unnecessary and injurious dependence upon foreign exchanges. Sixth,—That this Society views with horror the monstrous doc trine attributed to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. Villiers's motion upon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment ,of the industrious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth being found side by side with great poverty" is "inseparable from civilisation, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in a country towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large portion of our countrymen to irremediable poverty. That this - , ooiety is prepared to prove before a Committee of either House of P .rli neent that suet' a social anomaly is mainly attributable to mis • ta - L.en views or the nature and uses of money, and of the laws governing the distribution of wealth ; and they cannot but ascribe it to the deepest and most deplorable delusion, that in the recent dis cussions on the subject of the Corn-laws and Banking, the National • Debt and Taxation, which form essential elements in both questions, have been studi usly excluded. Seventh,—That petitions, representing the substance of the reso uti.ns of this meeting, and praying for legislative inquiry into the effect of currency on prices, and on the wages of labour, be now - prepared and signed by the Chairman of the Society, and be presented to the llonse of Lords and the House of Commons ; and that the ilrJv!sional Committee formed for the convening of this meeting be I.p.,tiested to place the petitions in suitable hands for presentation and -et7 !Tot t.

THE 1117 W,, Loxpow, TITESDAY gityING,_ArGrIT Mr. B. BARING, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Mr. WARBURTON, Mr. B. ESCOTT, Mr. ASTELL, Lord CLIVE, and Mr. 'flitisTp , ;. We understand that all the resolutions were p4-bed by uo ,j , ,r:ties of six to two, or seven to Om', the minority being generally composed of Mr. WARBURToN and Mr. ESCOTT, and sometimes Mr. WARBURTON alone. We understand that some light was thrown, in the course of the inquiry, on the character of the sub scription-list of the Cambridge and Lincoln Company, the aggressive parties. Not only had Mr. BRUCE, the petitioner, signed his place of business in the City, as his place of abode, in the Cambridge and Lincoln list —a proceeding which he charges as false and fictitious against many of the subscribers of the London and York Company—but Mr. THOMAS HAWKINS, one of the London and York subscribers, who is charged with being utterly irresponsible, was discovered to be a shareholder of the Cambridge and Lincoln Company ; and a ficti tious address, 14, Darlington place, charged in Mr. BRUCE'S petition, was found also to occur in the Cam bridge and Lincoln. Mr. SHACKELL. the Charter- House pensioner, was found to be as large a subscriber to the Direct Northern as to the London and York. The article which we reprinted from the Sentinel in our paper of Saturday, has a scope of incidental applica tion about it which reaches far beyond the latitude of Quebec —although for that meridian it was especially calculated. The reasoning so powerfully enforced to demonstrate the possibility of re-establishing a half destroyed city without gold, is at least equally cogent to show how the most flourishing of cities may be ruined by gold. Indeed, the preponderance of evidence and argument is now so overwhelming to prove the cardinal error and incalculable mischief of the monetary system, established by the Bill of 1819, that Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, were he unbiassed by considerations of the most direct personal interest in now upholding, as he then aas in propounding it, would honestly, and with the frankness of an English gentleman, acknowledge and deplore, publicly, the ruinous results it has entailed upon his country. We ourselves heard his excellent father declare in Parliament his misgivings that the tenacity with which his son, the present Premier, forced threugh the Legislature the statutable recognition and establish ment of his gold standard of value at the then, and thenceforward, Mint price of that metal, would be attributed by the world at large to interested motives. The venerable Baronet declared at the same time that he himself absolutely exonerated the Right Hon. Secre tary of that day from any such imputation. All our respect for the first Sir ROBERT—aII our concurrence in his expressions of natural astonishment and remon strance that the best and m st practical authorities among the Directors of the Bank of England, and the more eminent of the London merchants, had not been even examined by the Committee which reported the currency resolutions afterwards moved by his son—can not and never could lead us to the same verdict of ac • quittal which parental kindness so readily returned at the time. But all that we desire to say at any time on the vital subject regards the measure, not the man. It was a measure with this:original sin indelibly stamped upon its enactment from the first to the last ; namely, that it was a stupendous boon to all realised money capital, at a most iniquitous cost to all productive industry, in England. It has not dimittished the National Debt- It has largely diminished to the vast majority of those who pay the bulk of the interest on that debt the means of paying their contributions to that payment. It has not made bread cheap. It has lowered wages. It has not improved prices. It has multiplied production. The p-ices of commodities not vastly over-excised, or over taxed have greatly fallen. The pewer of consumption has declined in a still greater ratio. The burden of taxation has been shifted rather than removed. How shifted? In a manner the precise converse of that which would have followed under the old monetary system that was superseded by the legislation of 1819, and is now under process of extinction by the destructive " com plement." of 1844 That is to say, that whereas be tween 1797 and 1819 taxes were professedly designed and carefully adapted to be borne by the competent or the rich consumer; ever since the prices of commodities were determined by their natural or gold standard— , irrespectively of the element of taxation entering into their production—more than one-half of the whole taxa tion (especially on excisable articles) annually raised to defray the interest of the debt and the charge of the i,ublic services, is [erie by the industrial community whose labour is the first source of our sustained production, under the grievously enhanced disability of deteriorated wages. In a word, it would be ridiculous to require of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and those who have been deluded into the support of his current.) , views, to make out any affir mative plea in their favour. The only issue that .au be raised upon them is a negative one ; and a fearful re sponsibility is his, after deranging the whole circulation of the country, violating contracts, enharcing debts, mortgages, and liabilities, displacing settlements, and convulsing private credit and public confidence through out the length and bresdth of the land ; a fearful respore :Ability is his, fo r what his boasted panacea has nut done. His nostrum—his awam pctibile—whieh he insisted or, forcing down the threat of the country (his unhappy patient), has proved a metallic belladonna. The Con stitution, which he was pleased to pronounce somewhat too elastic and vivacious, his fatal sedatives have already affUcted with incipient paralysis. Is there any thing like an encouraging feature about the present relations of the country to the prospects of the approaching harvest, and the operation of the esta blished standard of currency in gold at the Mint—not at the market price ? We shall be too happy, too sincerely rejoiced, to find that the present superabundance of wet and uncertain weather gives place to a few weeks of a warm, settled. and bright season, sufficient for getting in the cereal crops that have for soma time past stood so much it. need of that genial encouragement. But what if the present weather continue long enough to make our home hat vest a failure as to quality or quantity—both or either ? We must import wheat from abroad. A few millions of quarters of foreign grain must be paid for in ' a few millions of gold stAreteigns ; for nothing is more certain, than that thw foreign grower or shipper will not !sle- your manufactu.es in return for his corn by choice. If the market pr ce of geld at Bremen, at Hamburgh, at Datazie, be, as it has been for some time past, dearer than the Act of Parliament price in London, it is clear he c-tn da nothing better than real'se his sales in golds In re : and gold he will have. What is to supply the place of the gold which will flow out of the country, as the foreign corn flows in ? The coffers of the Bank of England ? Why, their Weekly Return, of Saturday last, shows, in round numbers, a stock, less by more than a million than it was a week or so before. Every 1001 which oozes through the doors of their ballion cellars in payment of demands on account of corn purchases, may provoke home demand of twice the amount, from caprice, fear, fancy, or speculation. The sapient scheme which fixes the Mint or legal tender value of gold at a specific rate, leaves everybody at full liberty to draw it out of the Batik in payment of their own paper, and carry it into the market next dour fer sale at 20, 40, 1011 per cent. premium. as it may happ. u. Commercial panic filly then tread with giant strides upot. the heels of a metallic scarcity;—the day of atonement— that is the day of settling —for railway and joint stock gambling operations may coma upon us " like a thief in the dark"—mercantile credit, public confidence, all money transactions, determinable contracts, liabilities of every kind, may be precipitated, convulsed, over whelmed. Legidmate trading and fraudulent specula tion may be swallowed up in the same common ruin of reel capital and its unreal representative. Enterprise may be permanently crippled—credit annihilated—secu rities reduced to the value of the paper or the parchment on which they have been engrossed. The horrors of 1825 way be re-enacted. Our commercial pre-eminence may be tumbled down in headlong ruin, like some bright planet suddenly dashed from its orbit and extinguished— and in spite of all this, we can imagine Sir ROBERT at tempting once more to ridicule the authority of Mr. ALISON, and perpetrate those sorry failures which, in the pseudo-currency of his own Tamworth mint, pass for jukes—on the apprehensions of such practical authorities as Mr. SPOONER Or Mr. ATTWOOD ! Swiss papers of a late (Jute have arrived. 'I he Jesuit question was discussed in the Diet at Zurich on the 4th and sth. On the sth, a division took place, the result of which is, that the question remains in statu quo, neither party having obtained the required majority of twelve. The votes were given in the following manner : I. Not to enter at present on the question, or, in other words, the order of the day—Uri, Unterwald, Zug, Valais, Neufcha tel, Appenaell (Inner). Bale city, Friburg, Schwitz, Lucerne (eight whole States and two half ones). 2. To consider the affair as federal—Berne, Soleure, Schaff hausen, Argau, Tessino, Vaud, Thurgau, Orisons. Appenzell (Outer), Bale-eountr), Glaris, Zurich (ten whole States and two half one.). 3. To call on Lucerne amicably, looking at its directorial position, not to proceed with invitation to the Jesuits -Geneva, Tessino (two States), Grisons not voting for or against it. 4. To call on the States harbouring the Jesuits (Friburg, Valais, and Schwitz), to send them away :—Thu:gau, Grisons, Appenzell (Outer), (two whole States and a half one), Zurich, Schaffhausen, Hans, and Tessino not voting either way. 5. To summon Lucerne to renounce calling in the Jesuits : —Berne, Tessino, Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell (Outer), Glaris, Zurich (six whole States and one half one), Vaud, Schaff hau-en, Soleure, and Argau not voting either way. 6. Expulsion of the Jesuits from the whole of Switzerland : —The same ten States and two half ones, named above, declare the question to be federal. 7. Expulsion of the Jesuits by every means:—Berne, leure, Schaffhausen, Argau, Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell (Outer), Hale country (six whole States and two half ones), Zurich, and Glaris not voting either way. 8. To interdict for the future the introduction of the Jesuits into a Swi-s canton :—The same ten States and two half ones which cu: sidered the question as federal. We have rsceived the: Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The visit of Queen VICTORIA to the King of PRUSSIA, on the banks of the Rhine, appears to be ex citing great attention amongst Frerch politicians. " All the members of the corps diplornatique of Frank furt," says La France, " are at their post, in order to attend the princely and political meetings about to take place on the banks of the Rhine. M. BuLow, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Prussia, has arrived at Coblentz, and repeatediy transacted business with the King of PRUSSIA at the Chateaux of Stolzenfels and Coblentz. Prince METTERNICII has already had a long conference with King FREDERICK WILLIAM IV. The chateau of Stolzenfels, not being sufficiently capacious to accommo date the great number of distinguished personages expected there, apartments have been engaged in the neighbour hood. The Prince of PRUSSIA, the heir to the Crown, who, in every important circumstance is consulted by his brother, the reignSng King, has established his re sidence within a short distance of the royal chateau. In the conferences which are to be held there, a final decision will be adopted with regard to the Spanish question, and all those who flatter themselves that Austria will entertain a different view of the question from that taken by Prussia will be sadly disappointad. The Archduke FREDERICK of Austria has left Vienna for Coburg, to compliment QUEEN VICTORIA on her ar rival. The sojourn of her MAJESTY in the Chateau of Stolzenfels will not extend beyond three days, and she will afterwards make excursions in the neighbourhood. It is not true that the Marquis of J)ALMATIA, Minister of France, is to repair from Berlin to the banks of the Rhine, since that diplomatist is now on leave of absence and is replaced in the Prussian capital by M. HERMANN, the Secretary of Legation. M. GUIZOT was desirous of an interview with the King of PRUSSIA, to adjust, in a sort of Congress, the Spanish and Swiss questions. Lord ABERDEEN, who is a partisan of the cordial understand. ing with France, was expected to support the views of M. GUIZOT. But the overtures made in London and Vienna have proved unavailable. Lord ABERDEEN re plied, that the journey of Queen VICTORIA was a journey of pleasure, and the English Minister fur Foreign Affairs entered into no other explanation with regard to his own voyage twerermany. Prince METTERNICH, on his side, rejected the overtures made to him, in the absence of Count FLAIIAULT, by a French diplomatist sent on a special mission to Vienna." In the Journal des Debats of Saturday appears a long article seriously refuting an insinuation made by the Nationa', that the fire at Toulon was the work of per tide Albion. The charge made by the National is simply absurd, and M. LE HEDACTEUR must have laughed heartily as he penned the paragraph, which can be re garded in no other light than as an experiment upon the credulity of the quid nuncs of the cafés. It appears that nothing certain as to the origin of the fire has as yet been elicited by the inquiries which have been instituted. The loulonnais of the sth inst says : " That a galley-slave who was heard to say some days ago that the alma' ac of the Bagne predicted the appi.arance of a comet which would shortly illumine Toulon, had been arrested and placed in solitary confinement." The National has another to quoque article in reply to the comments of the English press on the massacre at Dahra. The Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS and the Duke D'AUMALE visited the principal public institutions in Bordeaux on the 7th, and in the evening went to the theatre. They were received ever)where with the greatest enthusiasm. The Coast it utionnf says:— " The news of the intended arrival in France of an envoy from Morocco is confirmed. It appears that the choice of the Emperor has fallen on Sidi-Ben-Arac, Governor of Fez, one of the mcst distinguished men of the empire, and who has always been opposed to war with the French. He will, it is slid, bear the title and functions of Extraordinary Ambassador, and visit France, as did some years back the envoys of the Shah of Persia and of Abd-el-Kader, and return immediately after wards to the Emperor to renderhim an account of his journey." This paper also states that the question of the dis solution of the Chamber of Deputies had been discussed in the Cabinet, and that it bad been determined to post pone it for tie present.

The other stocks are not quoted. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From rite Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 5,000 bales, including 500 on speculation. There was no change in prices.—Shares were steady, aita prices much the same. In the absence of any intOrmatiw, of peculiar interest' from the colonies, or from elsewhere, we may remark briefly upon the general state of the Railway Share Markets in this country as well as on the continent. The general feeling is that speculation has been carried up to too high a point. The dealings at Paris, at Frankfort-on. the-Maine, at Brus sels, and at Vienna, have of late been much reduced ; parties in those cities connected with speculations having become somewhat frightened at the extent to which time bargains have been carried on. At the same time it must be observed, that in what may be considered the best lines of railway, a strong desire is shown to purchase. It is much to be regretted that in some of our own provincial towns the rage for speculation has not been diminished. Indeed, at Leeds, according to a private letter received to-day, there is every reason to believe that a system something like repudi ation will take place—a rig equal to the pearl and coral of 1825.26 having been perpetrated there. As no doubt but few of our readers remember this notable scheme, it may be simply thus described. A company was started in the years stated, the Directors of which com plied with the applications for shares written by respect able people—they issued but a certain number, and then through agents purchases were made, and those who were Bears had to pay a considerable per centage to obtain the means of delivering the shares. There are some accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to day, but we do not find any late news of interest in them. The Grain Markets this morning are in a most feverish state, but the prices are on the whole rather lower. The farmers are pressing forward their stock on hand, as, notwith standing the state of the weather, the barometer is rising, and that too very steadily. The Consol Market i.; pretty steady at 99% for Money, anti for the Account at 99. Reduced Annuities have been sold at 99 1 5 ,4 ; and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 102% N. The premium upon Exchequer-bias is 51s. and 495. South Sea Stock has fallen from 113 to 112. The prices of the Foreign Bonds have improved to-day. The Dutch Four per Cents. have touched par; the Spanish Actives, 27 1 4 ; the Three per Cents., 38 1 / 4 ; and the Portu guese Converted, 64% %. The Share Market is extremely firm to-day. A steady demand for investment is .apparent. ONE CLOSIN , i PRICES OF BRITISII FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Bank Stock ......... .... 211 210 1 /, 211 1 4 210 1 / 210% 3 per Cent.

As yet no candidate has appeared to contest the election with Mr. Maxwell.—. Scotsman. ---------- On Sunday a curious circumstance occurred in the parish church of St. Mary-le-Strand, near Somerset House. At the usual hour (six o'clock) the bell rang for Divine service, and the congregation assembled accordingly. Half-past six came, but no divine made his appearance. The congregation was thus kept in a state of suspense till a quarter to seven o'clock, when Mr. Price, the clerk, came forward, and stated that there being no minister, no Divine service would be performed that evening, and the assembled persons took their departure. .LEITH.—STRANGE OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday afternoon, about four o'clock, two gentlemen, in passing Ann field, observed a young man undressing at the bulwarks east of Newhaven, as if for the purpose of sea-bathing. Having thrown off his bonnet, jacket, and shoes, he ran into the sea with the rest of his clothes on, like a person determined un committing suicide. He struggled for a few minutes in the water, and then altogether disappeared. As none of the gen tlemen could swim, they insiantly gave the alarm, and in the course of a short time a boat, with four seamen, proceeded to the spot, and succeeded, by means of grappling irons, in raising the body tut of the water. It was immediately taken to the rooms of the Humane Society, where every means were used to restore animation, but without effect. The de ceased appeared to have been a sailor, and seemed about twenty-four years of age. He was dressed in a fur bonnet, a blue jacket, and a brown vest. He was fair co.nplexioned, with fins features, and auburn hair. There was a watch in his pocket, which, from a paper inside, appeared to have been repaired by Mr. Morriom, Alloa, on the tenth of July. We mention these things in the hope that they may lead to his identification.— Scotsman. .~~.~. sroRTING TELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL',i.—YISTERDAY.

In the following 35 cases, in which Mr. HENRY BRUCE, the petitioner, alleged that the names, descriptions, or places of abode were fictitious and false, the Committee have come to the resolutions appended to each name:— Ince, W.

The Committee then go on to say that they have not had time to go into the inquiry opened out by the fol lowing sentence of Mr. BRUCE'S petition :—" That your his agents, is still further pursuing his pet inquiryitio petitioner, by into the bon4 fidts and responsibility of the said subscription-hst ; and that your petitioner does not doubt that he shah discover numerous other instances of similarfraud besides those herein specifically alleged—" but they are of opinion, from the character of the evi deuce which they have heard, that th. , re is no ground for recommending any further investigation.

On Tuesday afternoon, while some workmen we re employed in the formation of a drain in frLut of the brick cottoges at V. arthe, iii-or Grunion Pe ir, they Cn° upon a rudely-formed tomb, which, on :.üb,a T ient altars :ll : nation, was found to contain the bones of two pers° ll ' The tomb was about five feet in length, and two feet ill breadth. The stones used in the construction of th 2: singular place of sepulture were brotp , ht from the 96 bedded rocks on the adjoining shore, and while they „, peeredevident, at the h same time, that they had been fitted an joined into one another-with something like mechanics' exactness. The top of the tomb would not be more th° eighteen inches from the surface ; and as one of tb d it corner stones protruded some inches above the groulli.' it is conjectured that it was intended as a mark t o inul ; cate where the bodies were interred. All the intrrso part of the tomb, except the space occupied by the bean was filled with sand. One of the the was bar': with the head towards the east, and e other tow ards tP e d west. They were in a sort of sitting posture, the, !ta being considerably elevated above the rest o body ; and in the case of one of them the right was raised above the head. The skeletons of 1 W„ t o were evidently very entire ; but as the wo rkmen , the first discovery of the tomb, did not use I°. 't care in scooping out the sand, the skull and some the principal bones of one of them were considersbfa broken. The skeleton of the other body was roue from its resting-place with more trouble and delibel:l3: Lion ; and was of course in a more perfect the inspection of the curious. The teeth of both wee in fine preservation, and perfectly white. One of, e s skulls is a good deal larger than the other. The fate of a rude and curiously formed ring and btit having been found among the sand, which came °ti t le the tomb, favours the conclusion that the remains wf og those of persons in a state of demi-civilisation. The o n , is apparently formed either of brass or copper, and,_f cl y state it sists three rudely-formed hoops. 'I be bue"l e te s more ingenious in its construction, af-d approsilna"o very closely to those in use among us at the pre 3e u day. Mr. Howkias, the resident engineer at Grant°b's is in possession of these articles, and we lia‘e no (O u ch will be very glad to allow those interested I s ,E ti v e matters a look at them.

The at tendance was numerous. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The racing of the past week has not been of a very im portaat character. The sport at Brighton might have been well c,rnpressed into two days, and I believe it is arranged that next year the third day's racing shall be abolished. An earnest endeavour is also making by the tradesmen of the place to raise the meeting to that im portance in the grade of turf re-unit)! s, that the size and standing of the town make it fit it should ,xcupy-. The Brighton St ekes were carried off; according to my prediction, by Pine2pple, and my other selection, Subduer, was alit - el. Lothario found no difficulty in carrying off the Queen's Plate, and will, no doubt, win the same stake at Lewes. at Harwich, Glossy, the mare I select; el to win the Good wood Stakes, with 7,t 1 lb, being a stone more than would have had to have car rie4 for that rae. , , bent seven othyrs very eeverly for the gold cup; so I trus:, m read3rs will not complain of the, animal I recommended to their attention for that large and exciting race. The Wolverhampton Races commence this day, and conclude on Wednesday. As the course has been nitwit improved, and the race-fund materially increased. I have no doubt that a visit to them will repay the speculator. For this day four races and one match are set down. The entries for the Trial Stakes not being published, comment upon them is out or the question. For the Produce Stakes I prefer most Carissima and Princess Royal, Reliance should run well on this course, but I am afraid of her legs. After this race we have the Wolverhampton Stakes, the principal feature of the meeting. For this Stakes nineteen horses have been left in, but I doubt whether we shall see half that number at the post. Queen Mab heads the list of acceptances with 9st, but, after her Goodwood doings, I cannot fancy her chance to be worth anything for this race. Winesour, with Bst 6tb, will be one of the first three at the finish. Una won both this Stake and the Cleveland Cup the year before last, and, therefore, sheuld know the course well, but the state of her legs prevents me from imagining she can win now. The Best-of-Three, if recovered from his accident, with ist 12ib, is by no means to be despised, and will take a great deal of beating. Neither Joe Level or Rowena I lihe. Intrepid. 7st 51b, will, if he starts, of course engage much attention, and be msde first favourite. I know not in what form he is in now, hut should Wadlow bring him to the post in the same way he did at Chester, I must have him for my winner. The Peer Soldier will find the distance too far for him, so will Yardh y, Nereus, Salopian, Pedometer, Nix-my Dolly, and King of the Gipsies. The merits of Winesour and Lightning are well known, from their running so constantly together. Should Glossy go, as she carries a stun, less than she did at Harwich, she will make a capital fight of it with Intrepid, and to these two I lease the race. Should neither start, then I would have Winesour in preference to anything else. For the Patshull Handicap on Tuesday el: van horses have accep',ed, and alter an attentive eon,id , raiion of the weights, [ think Coranna, with Bst 1216, cannot help winning; the distance, a mile and a-half, is just her length.. Philip I expect to be second. The Chillington Stakes look booked for Cherokee. but if she does not go, why, titer'. I lean to Lord Harry and Birthday. The CI, veland Cup, always a race of interest, will be sure to create a sportinr, race. As the distance is thre., miles, I think the old Shadiiw and ‘Vinesour will fight it out. In the Theatre Stakes Lerd Harry and Cherokee will again meet, and, I have no doubt, the result will he the same as will attend their meeting in the Chillitigten. For the Holyoake Stakes I do not imigme anything can be found to beat Glossy or Hooton. London, Aug. 11, 1845. TELEGRAPH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The Patshull Handicap t€ be run for to-day (Tuesday) at Wolverhampton will doubtless be won by Philip or Coranna. For the Chillington Stakes and the Cleveland Cup, Dawson will furnish the winner; at any rate he will be very handy. The match on Wednes:lay between Grand Cairo and Roebuck, will, in my opinion, be won by the latter. The fate of the Holyoake Stakes will much depend on the race for the Wolverhampton Stakes, as several of the principal horses are engaged in both. I expect to see Light❑ing and Intrepid very forward, probably the first two, with Glossy and Coranna following close. The fate of Merry Monarch and Weatherbit is fixed; it is with them as it was with the Sixth Harry, " all U.P." Mentor, Pantasa, and Annandale are firm in the market, and they deserve to be so. Worthless and Wood Pigeon are coming." The former will be sure to see a better day; his St. Leger chance is very good indeed; the distance will suit him beautifully; he is about the most dingerous outsider that can be found, barring Idas and Wood Pigeon. The acceptances for the Great Ebor Handicap, thirty eight in number, have made their appearance some time. Upon a revie/ of the whole, I am inclined to place faith in the following batch, viz. R ,wena, Vol-au-vent, Dr. Husband, Coheiress, Psalmsinger, Lightning, and the Castaway filly, especially the last and Vol-au-vent, one of which I think will manage to do the trick.
