Notice is hereby given, that the next ORDINARYA HL F • 'YEARLY GENERAL MEETIN G of the Proprietors of the Mid land Railway Company,' under their Act of IncorPoration D , will b NESDAY,e held at the Midland Railw a y Station, at Derby, on WE the 20th day .of Anim i st next, at one o'clock in the afternoon pre cisely: And notice is hereby further given, that the said Meeting will be Made Special for the purpose of considering and determining on the Propriety of dividing and converting the 501. shares in the Midland Railway Company into two shares, one of the nominal value of 3: 1. Gs. Bd., and the other of the nominal value of 16/. 133. 4d., under the provisions of the " Midland Railway (Capital) Act, 1851," and of taking such orders arid giving such directions thereon as may be thought proper. And notice is hereby further given, that the said Meeting will also be made Special for the purpose of considering the under-written re quisition, which has been served upon the Directors of the Midland Railway Company by certain Shareholders therein. regarding the al lowance of the tree passage of proprietorS along t. 10.0 line, to attend General and Special General Meet'ngs. JOHN ELLIS, Chairman of the Board of Directors. SAMUEL BEALE, Deputy Chairman. By order, BELL, Soc. Derby, July 26, 1851. (COPY.) To the Chairman and Directors of the Midland Railway Company. We, the undersigned Pro srietors in the Midland Railway Company request you will give notice, that at the next Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors, it will be proposed to discontinue the practice of al lowing the free passage of Proprietors along the line to attend Ge neral and Special General Meetings. This system is one confined almost to the Midland Railway Company, and is one objectionable on many__ points. It is unjust to the Proprietors who reside at a dis tance, and are not on the line, it is liable to great abuse, and entails ,a very considerable expense on the general resources of the Company by allowing parties who may hold ever so small an amount of the Stock, to pass free along the whole line at all events twice, and W it map be more frequently an nuall y , for any purpose whatever. e theretore request you will give the above notice, and we also claim the support of the Board in getting the system of such free passes abolished. Dated this 26th day of May, 1851. Signed by GEORGE MAXWELL, and numerous other Shareholders.

LAMPS.—THE PATENT CANDLE LAMPS have obtained for themselves a deserved and unrivalled superiority, and reasonably so. Oil Lamps are most offensive to the smell, and the ephemeral Cam phine emits such smut and unwholesome effluvia as to injure health and rain dresses, &c., whilst the Candle Lamp is inodorous and pure. CHARLES WATSON invites the public to an inspection of the above, in every variety, commencing with the Queen's Lamp, from 2s. to 265. ; the mid size, from 12s. to ass. ; and the magnum, from 355. to Live guineas.

It is impossible to over-rate the i nterest which men of all classes appear to take in the forthcoming phenornenon; millio n ns of eyes will be directed to the one great object ; every telescore in the parts of the world where the eclipse will be visible t quest; pails of water, smoked glasses and coloured ones, occupied that can assist the sight by reflection or refraction, will be everything s by the different classes, from the philosopher to the schoolboye Th. e ere has not been such a sensation created since the building Clothes of th Grat lothes Mart of E. MOSES and SON. Then , a s now, for days be fore the opening, it was in everybody's mouth, and public curio t itY e Was on tiptoe ; nor will the surprise and gratification felate he e read eclipse of the sun be greater than the astonishment of the publi first time the doors of the Mart were thrown open. I ts fame sp h far and wide, until it was talked of east, west, north, and south, in all quarters of the globe. At this time there is such a display of fashion at the Monarch Mart, that everything of the kind is ECLIPSED. E. MOSES and SON have ECLIPSED everybody Who has attempted a show of dress. Every article of theirs is per fect ; all, in fact, that can be wished by the most fastidious man of fashion is there in perfection, while hundreds of the best tailors in fAtrope are ready to make anything to meas ure in an incredibly short time. But Messrs. E. MOSES and SON cannot too earnestly assure their friends that the articles in stock are in all respects the same in quality of material, neatness and durability, taste and design, the dame as if made to measure, and that the only reason for charging more is the making singly instead of making a hundred or more at a time ; so that if a gentleman happens to fit himself from the stock, he has equally a first-rate article. - - E.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : ' "157, Now Bond-street, London, October 12, 1830. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RIIEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th hussars. I always pro• cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms', between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, Sec., &c., BLAIit'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and for ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and all respectable Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe that " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," is impressed upon the Government Stamp. ------ MEDICAL ADVIC E rIVII Al+ ON TU D E SECRET INFIRMITIES OF Yo MATURITY.

Cocks and Co., music publishers, New Burlington-street, and in our ad miration of the elegant assortment of Piccolos, Cottages, and other instruments, we are free to confess, that even in choosing a piano forte, there is something in a name. Want of judgment, or false notions of economy, tempt many to seek for bargains in the auction room, or the advertised cheap repository ; but the true votaries of Terpsichore look to the name for a confirmation of their choice, and a guarantee for its being a correct one. The Cottages, Semi-Cottages, and Piccolos of Messrs. Cocks and Co. meet at once the requirements of connoisseurs and economists ; they are of beautiful exterior, of well-seasoned wood, embracing the highest degree of excellence of material and manu facture, and of much surpassing beauty in their harmonic powers, being powerful in volume, brilliant in expression, and light and elastic to the touch. The Semi-Cottage or Piccolo, with its im proved grand desk, in particular arrested our attention, from its truly unique and elegant appearance, and the powerful volume it pours forth when touched by the master hand. But where there is uniform excellence it is needless to particularise—suffice it to say, we do not think these pianofortes can be surpassed in quality or reasonable low prices."— (Vide the " London Mercantile Journal," July 22.

The Southampton, Monarch, and Waterloo, Indiamen, are at Spithead; but the first-named vessel will, pro bably, get away to-night. DOCKYARDS.—Mr. Sylvanus Gibbs, second class clerk of the Devonport Dockyard, has been superannuated on a pension of 1501. per annum. The Royal Devonport Dockyard Battalion were exer cised for the last time during the present season, in the brickfield, on Saturday last. The soldier-like appearance of the men, and the manner in which they went through the several evolutions, excited very general commenda tions from a number of military men among the multi tude assembled on the Found. Mr. Edward Cheesewan, foreman of Chatham Dock yard, has been awarded the annual gratuity of 501. by the Admiralty. The Portsmouth Dockyard-men, basin..

Since its return from Tunis the squadron has been cruising off the island, the ships being detached two by two to enter the harbour, and complete water prior to a more extended cruise, for which the Admiral left yester day morning. The probable destination of the squadron is guessed at by many (Gulf of Spezia is mentioned), but nothing is positively known. The Admiral's object in getting away from Malta is more to preserve the health of the men during the hot weather than any po litical motive. At Tunis the Admiral was well received by his High ness the Bey, who saluted him on landing with 17 guns, and presented the squadron with bread, sheep, vegeta bles, truittrof ali kinds, vermicelli, macaroni, coffee, sugar, oil, , and candles (Trade of bees' wax), fowls, ducks, and geese. 50 bullocks, as well as wines and spirits, were also tendered, but these latter were declined. _ PORTSMOUTH, JULY 28.—The Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, arrived at Spithead this morn ing from the Pacific and Rio, bringing 860,000 dollars on merchants' account, which Messrs. Caber, of this port, have the conveyance of to the Bank of England. She discharged her freight - into the steam-tender Sprightly, Mr. George Allen, master commanding, which brought it into harbour. The Meander sails this even ing, or at daybreak to-morrow morning, for Chatham, to be paid off. She sailed from Spithead early in January, 1848, for China; she took out from England Raja Brooke and suite and a complete staff of eofficials for the new settlement of Labuan. She sailed- from China on the 28th of --May, 1849; thence to Siugsporee'and where she stayed 10 days; thence for New Ireland (Guinea); and thence to Sydney, New South Wales, where she stayed six weeks in company with the Rattle snake surveying ship. The Meander eailed from Syd ney on the Ist of May, 1850, and proceeded to Tahiti, whore she remained eight days. All was tranquil there between Qasen Pomare and the French Protectorate. A French frigate and steamer lay there, and the French gave a grand ball on board the former, which the officers of the Meander attended. Tho Meander left Tahiti in the beginning of August for Valparaiso, where she arrived on the 2.1 of September, and remained under the command of Rear-Admiral Hornby until the 25th, when she sailed for Coquimbo (Chili), and thence to Callao. where she remained three or four days, and then made for Mazatlan to collect freight, which she was engaged in a couple of months, leaving her boats there while she went to Guaymas, where she remained a month, at the expiration of which time she returned, picked up her hes, and left fir St. Bias, whence she sailed on tlilrlst of March last for Valparaiso, and remained there ten days, sailing on the 33 of May for Rio, through the Straits of Magellan, in which she passed the Amphi trite, 26, Captain Frederick, then four days from Val paraiso, all well. Sho arrived at Rio on the Bth of June, and sailed on the 12th for England. While at Rio she saw a bargee being towed oat of harbour by a small steamer, which being suspected, the Cormorant steam sloop gave chase to her, fired at her , knocked awa y her funnel, and afterwards made a prize of her. The barque got away, but the Plumper fell in with her and fired into her. Lieut. Moore (acting), of the Gorgon, Mr. 0. W. Brierly, the marine painter, and Mr. Ormsby, from Valparaiso, have come home in this ship, which left at Rio—the Tweed, 26; Plumper, 11; Cormorant, 6; Rifleman, 6; and Sharpshooter, 6, all well.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL: Henry Groom, aged 42, was arraigned on an indict ment charging him with the wilful murder of John Ayton on the 4th of the present month, at Holkhaw, by shooting him through the head with a bullet and shot discharged from a pistol. The prisoner is y e labonrer on Vie llolkham estate, tied the deceased was the superintendent of the 'brick fields, in virtue of which office it was his constant prac tice to pay the labourers their wages fortnightly on Fri days. For this purpose he used to obtain the necessary funds at Lord Leicester's office, and being advanced in years, he had latterly resorted to a donkey and cart as a means of conveyance from the office in the park, his road lying through the west lodge and past a plantation and an old sand-pit. On the day named in the indictment, Mr. Ayton obtained, at his usual hour of twelve, or there abouts, the sum of 251. ss. 6d., which was paid to him in sovereigns, and half-sovereigns, and a 5/.noteof Gurney's bank, which, having been cut iu two, had been pasted together again at the back, and presented some endorse ment in red ink. No further notice was taken of this note at the time of payment by the clerk. Between twelve and one Ayton was seen to pass through the park in his don key-cart towards the west lodge, and after that hour he was not seen alive by anyone, unless it was by the prisoner, who was seen loitering about the entrance to the sand pit plantation on that day by two people, between twelve and a quarter-past one. At half-past one a shot was heard by some workmen hoeing mangold wurzel in a field near the plantation. About two o'clock a young lad wandering about the neighbourhood chanced to enter the plantation, where he saw a man lying on his side, as he thought, asleep, with his hat on the top of his head. The boy took no notice o f him ; but, pass ing through the plantation, entered the marigold wurzel field, and told the men there what he had seen. They did not pay any attention to the circumstance. At half past one a man named Yarham saw Ayton's donkey and cart straying along the road between the entrance to the said pit plantation and the brickfield, and tied them up at a gate near the pit. Tho same man finding the don key and cart at the same place, and having heard fro the boy that ho had seen a man asleep in the pitm , he leaned over the brink, and at the bottom he f ound the owner of the donkey and cart lying dead, : with " the contents worked out" by a large wound at the back of his head, over which was placed hie hat. The alarm was immediately given, and the pockets of the deceased man having evidently been rifled, suspicion fell on the prisoner, who had been seen going home to his father-in-law's house, at Wells, by a circuitous route ; he was on that evening taken into custody, when a Si. note of Gurney's bank, corresponding in appearance with that so recently given to Ayton, was found in his pocket, and a key. The latter being applied to a drawer in the room occupied by the prisoner, opened it, and within the drawer were found a quantity of sovereigns, half-sovereigns, and sil ver, which together with the 5/. note, made up the suns of 26/. 2s. 61 The coin so found in the drawer was wrapped in a piece of paper, which, on being examined, proved to be a portion of an account in Ayton 's hand. writing, and fitted exactly with another piece of paper discovered in the pocket of the murdered man, in which was the rest of the same account. It further appeared that a hors©-pistol, which tho father-in-law of the pri soner had placed on a shelf after using it on the morning of the 4th to scare birds, was missed at niuo o'clock, after the prisoner had been seen to quit the house with a canvas bag under his arm, and soon after the pri soner's return home the same pistol was seen again in its proper place. The prisoner, who was not defended by counsel, did not attempt to deny that ho was in the neighbourhood of the plantation, as deposed by the witnesses for the prosecution, but accounted for the pos session of the money by saying that he had found it in the road, and insisted that no one had ever seen him kill the man. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Justice CRESSW ELL submitted the whole facts to the jury, who, with out an y hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. His LORDSHIP then proceeded to pass the a*ful sen tence of death in the usual form. Tho prisoner, who used a trumpet during the whole of the trial, as he was quite deaf, was theu withdrawn from the dock. POLICE tV INTELLIGENCE. ORS 1-11 P-S TREE T. A middle-aged man, named John Rogers, described as an omnibus-driver, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having caused the death of a woman named Elizabeth L eafe, aged thirty-six years, with whom he had cohabited. Mrs. Jane Holman, the wife of a hootmaker in Luke street, Finsbury, said—The prisoner had occupied the first-floor room in my house with the deceased, who lived with him as his wife, since the Saturday before Eas ter last. About a quarter before 12 on Saturday night I was disturbed by an angry altercation between them, which was shortly succeeded by the sounds of a blow and heavy fall, which completely shook the place. I instantly hastened up stairs to their apartment, on entering which I fcund the deceased lying on the floor, bleeding pro fusely from the nose and mouth. The only words she uttered wore, " Oh, pray ! oh, pray !" On questioning the prisoner, who was very much intoxicated, as to what he had dere to the woman, he replied, in an agi tated manner, "I have struck her and knocked her down. For God'e sake do all you can for her." I immediately raised her head, and requested the prisoner to support it for fear she should be suffocated, which he readily did. Having admitted another lodger, named Cooper, and his wife, I left the deceased under their care, and at the urgent desire of the pri soner hurried off to procure the attendance of Mr. i Leonard, a surgeon n the neighbourhood. On return ing with the latter, the deceased was still lying upon the floor in strong convulsions. After examining her condi- tion and giving directions for her treatment, Mr. Leonard left the house, and the prisoner shortly afterwards has tened out for another surgeon, but before his return with one the deceased had expired. In cross-examination by Mr. Vann, on behalf of the accused, the witness said, that when she first en tered the room, the prisoner declared that the deceased had menaced him with a knife, and that he knocked her down under the apprehension that she was about to stab him. Ellen Cooper, a married woman lodging in the second floor, deposed, that on reaching home shortly after twelve o'clock on Saturday night, she heard a low moan ing in the prisoner's room, followed by an exclamation from the deceased of " Oh, my brain! bring some water to bathe my temples, or I shall go mad!" On entering the apartment with her husband, she found the deceased lying upon the floor, and the prisoner, who exhibited ex treme anxiety and trepidation, was stooping over her bathing her head and temples. On observing witness, he implored her assistance, and begged Mrs. Holman to proceed for a surgeon, who attended the deceased soon afterwards, but was unable to afford her any relief, and immediately after he had left, she was seized with a strong hysterical fit, which terminated fatally in a few minutes. Mr. Thomas Leonard, a surgeon in Tabernacle-square, stated that on reaching the house and examining the de ceased, who was perfectly insensible, he found, as far as he could judge, that she was labouring under an attack of apoplexy. He observed a livid mark, apparently caused by a violent blow on her right cheek. He con sidered that such a blow was calculated to produce con cussion of the brain, accompanied by the other symp toms he had described. The woman was evidently in a dying state; and on requesting the prisoner to explain how the transaction arose, he replied that she had threat ened him with a knife, and that he therefore knocked her down. Witness then directed him to send to his surgery for some medicine, but added, that he expected to be paid for it on delivery; upon which the prisoner turned round upon him in such a threatening manner as led him to suppose that he intended some personal violence, and he hastily left the place. Police-constable Sylvester, G 226, stated that having received information about one o'clock that morning that a woman had been murdered by her husband, he proceeded to the house and was conducted to an upper room, where he found the deceased lying quite dead. The prisoner entered soon after, and on taking him into custody he entreated his permission " to go and kiss her poor dead body" before he was conveyed to the station house. He then approached the bed on which the de ceased was lying, and after kissing her face three or four times, exclaimed " My dear girl, what shall I do now; my right hand is gone from me." Witness then observed the knife produced lying upon the floor, and on picking it up the prisoner remarked, " That is the knife my poor dear girl used to defend herself." The prisoner, who appeared at that time to be perfectly sober, was then conveyed to the station-house. The prisoner, who was deeply affected and sobbed convulsively throughout the investigation, declined offering any observations, and was ordered to be re manded for a week to await the result of the post mortem examination. SOUTHWARK. Sarah Turner Winter, a middle-aged respectable looking woman, was brought before Mr. Sucker, charged with having in her possession a box containing 200 sovereir,ns, — a valuable'gold watch and chain, two gold rings, fifteen silk handkerchiefs, and a large quantity of black spun silk, supposed to have been stolen from one of the railway companies near the metropolis. Rebecca Sergeant said she was tho wife of one of the officials connected with the Eastern Counties Railway at Stratford. Her husband kept a house at West Ham, and the prisoner's brother, who was employed on tho rail- way, lodged with them. A few days ago the prisoner came to lodge with him, and on Sunday morning, while he was absent on duty, the prisoner showed her a hand some gold watch ant chain, and entered her brother's room. When she came out she told witness that sho was compelled to leave suddenly, as something had hap pened which made her uneasy; that she had left the watch and other property for her brother, and that as soon as be came home she hoped witness would send him after her. She left the houso a little after eleven o'clock in the morning, but her brother did not return home till eleven at night. As soon as he entered the house she informed him that his sister had suddenly quitted the house, but she had left .a gold watch and other pro perty for him. Her brother seemed astounded, and ex claimed, " My sister can have no gold watch to give me, and whatever property she has left for me vou must come and look at it with me, as I will have nothing to do with her or her property." Shortly afterwards they entered his room, and found the gold watch, 200 ~,sovereigns, and other property, when a police-constable was called in to take charge of them. Prisoner—l did not intend to give the watch to my brother. I said my brother was to keep it in use until my husband came home. I dare not give it away. Thomas Haddington, police•constable 189 K, said, about one o'clock that morning he was called int() the last witness's house at West Ham. He went up stairs and found a box, containing two hundred sovereigns, a gold watch an guard chain, two gold rings, fifteen silk handkerchiefs, and about a quarter of a hundred weight of black spun silk. They were all taken out of a box belonging to a young man named Lawrence, the prisoner's brother. Joseph Benton, police-constable 381 K, said he found the prisoner that afternoon at No. 80, York-street, Kingsland-road. She had two children with her, and when he told her that she was suspected of stealing the above property, which she had left at her brother's lodg ings, she acknowledged taking them there, but declined to answer how she became possessed of them. rrisoner—l said I took them to my brother's for safety. Benton—She said that her husband was in trouble, and being afraid that their house would be searched, she took them there to bo out of the way. • Mr. SECKER—What is her husband ? Mrs. Ser geant—He used to be a porter on the South-Western Railway, but ho was discharged some time ago. Sergeant John William Manning, of the Stratford police, informed the magistrate that he had been to the South-Western Railway Company, and had ascertained that the prisoner's husband was discharged on account of an immense quantity of silk being lost on the line, and suspicion having attached to him. He bad every reason to believe that in a few days some further clue would be obtained, which would show that the property found was the produce of the plunder ' and that he should be authorised to appr e h en d th e husband. Mr. SEeKER said that, according to Mrs. Sergeant's evidence, the case was one for investigation at the Lam beth Police-court ; therefore he should remand the pri soner to gaol, and order her to be taken before the ma gistrates there to-morrow (this) morning. _ WESTMINSTER. _ Sir James Sutherland M'Kenzie, whose name has of late been repeatedly before the public, and who was com mitted from this court on th e 12 t h o f June, in default of finding sureties for his good behaviour, and has ever since been in custody, was brought up from the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, by direction of the magistrate. Upon being brought into court, Mr. BURRELL said—Sir James DlCenzio, I have con sented, upon the application of your solicitor, to discharge you upon your entering into your own recognizances of 2001. to keep the peace. At the same time I much regret that a man in your station of life, who ought to be able to command bail, is unable to procure it; and I hope that, on your own account, you will be more on your guard in future. lam afraid you indulge in drinking to excess. Sir James—As it appears in the papers; but I can appeal to any of the members of the St. James's, or other clubs, to prove that I never display any pugnacity while in their company. I am never annoyed there. Mr. BURRELL—They know your infirmity. Sir James—l beg your pardon; I can always take care of myself there, but it's the annoyance outside that ex cites nie, not inside the clubs. Mr. BURRELL—I hope you will be more cautious. Sir James—Although I may take a great deal in the clubs, I em never irritated or excited there. Mr. BURRELL—No, but you may drink a consider able quantity there, and then go out and become excited by any annoyance. You know that boys, and the vul gar order of people, seeing a man under the influence of liquor, are too apt to follow and annoy him. People will insult a drunken man. I hope, for your own sake, you will for the future be on your guard, or you will get into constant scrapes; and it is my duty to tell you that if, after what has occurred, you are again brought before me, or any other magistrate, you will in all pro bability be treated with the utmost possible severity of the law. Sir James—You will not see me here again. Mr. BURRELL—I can have no wish, in offering these remarks, but that you should conduct yourself as a man of rank and as a gentleman. The second clerk then proceeded to bind over Sir James, in his own recognizances of 2001., to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for the next twelve months. ROYAL NAVAL ScuooL.—A special meeting of the governors of this institution was held yesterday, on the pre mises, New-cross, Deptford, for the purpose of making various alterations in the rules and by-laws of the corpo ration, having reference to the admission of pupils, which had been approved of by the council, and wero rendered ne cessary by the recent Act of Parliament. Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., took the chair. The following: gentlemen were also present: Admiral Sir Watkin Pell, Sir Charles Ogle, Captains Hideout, M'Adams, Stewart, Whish, Clarke, Gladstone, and Stopford, and Lieutenant Henderson. The chairman observed, that the resolutions about to be sub mitted to the meeting were intended to authorise the ad mission into the school of a limited number of the sons of persons not being officers in the Royal Navy or Marines. He regretted that he should not be able to continue his atten dance during the consideration of the proposed amendments, as urgent business required his immediate return to London. The gallant Admiral accordingly withdrew, and the chair was taken by Sir W. Pell. The secretary then proceeded to read the by-laws, when several, which were incompatible with the provisions of the Act of Parliament, were rescinded, and those recommended by the council were, after some dis cussion, unanimously adopted in their stead. The meeting then adjourned. THE TEA TRADE, JULY 28.—The quantity of tea delivered in London last week was 640,57111)., being rather less than during the previous fortnight. [PRICE SD. SPORTING NOTES. No. XCIV. THE PROBABLE FIELDS, AND WINNERS OF TO-MORROW'S RACES AT GOODWOOD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Although the value of the stakes run tor to-day, at Goodwood, is by many hundreds greater than each of the other days, amounting as they will do to somewhere about six thousand pounds or upwards, yet to-morrow, on accoun t of th e G oo d woo d S ta k es stan di ng th en for i decision, s generally considered the day of the meeting, ‘` the Stakes" bein g a race on which, for many years past , immense sums h ave b een betted; in this respect t hi s year will form no excep t i on to the rule, large sums hav ing beeninvested on several of the competitors, to wit: — The Grand Duke, Presto, B ac kbi ter, Cariboo, Narc i ssus an d Harpsichord, and very fair sums on some seven or eight others. To-morrow's " hill of fare" is heeded with a Handicap Plate, value 50 sovs., which, with The Stewards' Cup, the Cowdray Stakes, and a couple of 10 sovs. Sweepstakes, I have not at the time of writing, althoug h these st a k es c l osed last evening, received the entries tor. The Drawing Room a l h s are r s e e bred x, I Stakes, value 5851. (including the bonus) , two miles one furlong and forty yards, of course rests between HESSE HOMBURG: and Lord Exeter's horse , wh i c h will , in all lb a s ni for m fora probability , dis tanc b e, e bPutle,,,ggetialieensa;both receivesthese 5 think it most likely that will turn the scale of victory in her favour. Nothing else will run, without Sir Rowland Trenchard should be started for the off-chance. , The mile and a quarter 300 sovs. stakes, for colts, would I should say, to HERNANDEZ ; Bonnie Dundee or H ip' polytus obtaining the dubious honour of being second and last. Neither Croupier, Storm, or Kakistos will run. The mile and a quarter 300 Sovs. Stakes . for fillies, will be;won by Mr. Grat wicke's ANSPACH, and, very possibly without a contest. The field for the Goodwood Stakes will, by the time of starting, be run up toetbout a score, probably the fol lowing :—Cariboo, 4 yrs, Bst 81b; Pitsford, 4 yrs, Bst 31b; Backbiter, 6 yrs, 7st 91b; Windischgratz, 4 yrs, 7st 91b; Due-an-Darras, 6 yrs, 7st 51b; Vampire, aged, 6st 111 b; Clarissa, 5 yrs, Est 41b; Humphrey, 4 yrs, Oat 21b; Gla diole, 4 yrs, 6st 11b; Narcissus, 4 yrs, Est llb; Bacton, 4 yrs, sst 131 b; Salute, 4 yrs, sst 121 b; Runnymede, 3 yrs, sst 101 b ; Grand Duke, 3 yrs, sst 51b; Presto, 3 yrs, sst 31b; Cornelius, 3 yrs, sst 101 b, or Ingrati tude, 3 yrs, sst; Hurry scarry, 3 yrs, sst, or Girdle, 3 yrs, 4st 121 b; British Boy, 3 yrs, 4st 121 b; Ischia (D); Harpsichord, 3 yrs, 4st 71b; and Miss Whip colt, 3 yrs, 4st 41b. My opinion with respect to the winner remains unaltered, THE GRAND DUKE or NARCISSUS to furnish to-morrow's hero, with Duc-an-Durras, Presto, and Pitsford in close attendance. The next flight, I fancy, will consist of Miss Whip colt, the Grand Duke's schoolmaster—Vampyre, Windischgratz, Backbiter, Runnymede, and Cariboo. The batting in town this morning, considering the great number of the betting fraternity that have departed for the scene of action in Sussex is uncommonly brisk; latest prices as follows: Gratwicke2 to lon Hernandez. Goodwood Stakes -4 to 1 agst Grand Duke 9 to 2 taken; 8 to 1 agst Nar cissus, 8 to 1 agst Backbiter, 10 to 1 agst Cariboo, 10 to 1 agst Duc-an-Durras, taken freely; 100 to 7 agst Pits ford. Goodwood Cup-7 to 2 agst Nancy, 4to 1 agst Clincher, 4 to 1 agst Cariboo, 5 to 1 agst Montes.

ELECTION OF A SHERIFF. Yesterday a Common Hall was held for the election o a sheriff in the room of Mr. James Hartley, who, upon being elected, together with Mr. Cotterell, to fill the office, declined to serve, and paid the fine. Soon after the announcement that Mr. Hartley would not for the present accept the office had been made, several gentle men of influence in the City waited upon Mr. Richard Swift, a gentleman of high respectability, considerable attainments, and influence, and without difficulty ob tained his consent to become a candidate for the dignity. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by several of the aldermen, the sheriffs, and the high City officers, appeared upon the hustings; and The RECORDER represented to the Livery the peculiar circumstances under which they had been called together. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded his brief address by stating that it was in the power of any member of the Livery to propose any qualified person, although the name might not be included in the formal list of those proposed to their acceptance. The Towel CLERK having read the long list of names, Mr. WINKWoRTH came forward upon the hustings to propose Mr. Richard Swift as a! candidate for the office. It was, he said, the first time he had ever had the ho nour of addressing the Livery, and certainly ho could not be engaged more beneficially to his follow-citizens, or more honourably to himself, than in introducing to their notice a gentleman so admirably qualified, in every respect, to perform all the duties of the office of sheriff. —(Loud cheers.) If he entertained a single doubt upon the subject ho would not appear there to advocate the claims of his excellent friend, but his intimate know ledge of the high character and eminent worth of Mr. Swift strengthened and confirmed his confidence, and it was a source of gratification to know that the gentleman who was thus nominated was not only adapted to the office, but was willing to accept it, for the service of the citizens of London.—(Loud cheers, and a cry from a few persons in front of the hustings of " He's a Catholic," which was drowned in applause.) In Mr. Swift the con stituency would have a sheriff who would not only maintain their rights and privileges, but would most splendidly support the hospitalities of the cffice, and dis charge all its duties in the most vigorous manner. Two or three persons in the crowd said—" You may as well propose Cardinal Wiseman as sheriff;" but they were soon silenced by overwhelming cheers. Mr. THOMAS NORRIS (the common councilman) se conded the nomination of Mr. Swift, and congratulated the meeting upon the fact that a person of such distin guished qualifications had readily consented to take upon himself so important and responsible an office. The citizens of London had a most satisfactory guarantee for the proper performance of the duties of the office of sheriff in the well-known character, of the gentleman whom he felt so much pride in supporting. It was im possible to say less of Mr. Swift. It would be very diffi cult to say more of anybody.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. GEORGE SHOOBRIDGE, who, it will be recollcctecl succeeded some years ago in prevailing upon the inhabi tants of the City to build almshouses instead 0 illumi nating their own houses in honour of the .t p Reform Bill, wished to iimpress upon hhouses for the necessity of raising fifty model lodg g the Livery It: accommodation of the poor; but the subject un inelecators evidently considered the introduction of such watt for a better seasonable, and advised him to op portunity. Mr. BENNOCH (the common councilman) came for bis an ualifi ward to bear testimony to the mer ,t ed the philanthropic disposition of the gentleman who advocated the building ,ptheeyhaLd"veryad assemble the 'd met for h the purpose of model l o dging-houses; for a diff eren t purpose. of electing a model sheriff most, and in choosi ng M r. S w i ft to th a t office they y d effect accomplish that woul uall desirable object.—(Loud cheers.) The names were then put up, and the hall resounded with a cclamations when the name of Mr. Swift was announced. The SHERIFF declared that the election had fallen upon Richard Swift, Esq., citizen and spectacle-maker, and the newly-elected sheriff was formally call upon to take upon himself the office. Mr. SWIFT immediately pL fe. 11 .:a hustings, and was cheered from every part of he 1.

The sheriffs then proceeded to the Court of Aldermen and announced that the election was at au end, gad the hail was •dissolved. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. A heavy storm, in the department of the Cote D'Or, has destroyed the grape crop, and the price of wine has risen in consequence. The _National did not appear, in consequence of the 27th being the anniversary of the revolution of July. The Assent?)lee Nationale states that General CA VAIGNAc has announced his intention of withdrawing his pretensions as a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. " The wish" was, on the part of the writer, " the father to the thought," for the Bulletin de Paris authoritatively contradicts the rumour. The Constitutionnel has the following on the sub ject of the desertion of their ships by French seamen : " It appears to us that it may be useful to give pub licity to a judgment recently passed on this subject by the Chamber of Commerce at Marseilles. The Minister of Marine has ordered this decision to be made publicly known in all the seaports, as it may have the effect of putting an end to the practice of inducing French sea men to desert. The following is the decision referred to :—A sailor, classed on the registers of the maritime inscription of Bordeaux, had deserted and afterwards come to Marseilles, under an assumed name, among the crew of an American ship, commanded by a Captain W. He was recognised, arrested, and thrown into prison, w hich, however, did not pr even t hi s c l a iming from the A m erican captain the whole of the wages stipulated for i n his agreement. The capta i n being deprived of the services of the man, and foreseeing that he should be compelled to take another man in his stead, refused to pay; but the affair being brought before the Chamber of Commerce, ho was condemned to pay the wages, ren dering both his person and his ship liable in case of non-payment. It is to be hoped that this act of justice will serve as a lesson on the other side of the Atlantic, and render the Americans less prompt to tamp er w i t h our sailors." The Municipality of the Commune of Urzel has re fused to vote a grant to a Jesuit school established in their commune. In the Assembly yesterday M. MENASCAUT pre sented the report of the Commission des Coves, which recommended the adjournment of the Assem bly from the 10th of August to the 20th October. The discussion was fixed for to-morrow (this day), The sitting of the Assembly was suspended for 20 minutes, in order to afford Members an opportunity of seeing the eclipse. The Bourse was remarkably firm. The Five per Cents. opened at 951. 65c., and closed at 951. 85c. for the end of the month.

The Cologne Gazelle states, on what it represents to be good authority, that the protests of France and England against the entrance of Austria with all her states into the Germanic Diet was not rejected una nimously, the Ministers of Holstein and Luxemburg having been of opinion that it ought to be accepted. The Weser Gazette states that the Germanic Diet intends to suppress all the gambling-houses in. Ge rmany from Ist January next. The King and Queen of PRUSSIA left Berlin on the 25th ' • the former for the Baltic provinces, the latter for Dresden. The reigning Duke of ANuALT and DESSAN, by decree of the 21st, dissolves the Diet of the two duchies, and suspends Art. 50 of the Constitution, which requires a new Diet to be convoked within 60 days after a dissolution. The DuxE issued a procla mation to the people on the occasion, in which he says — The German Governments have agreed to resist energetically any dissolution of existing relations. They will not suffer the domestic repose and welfare of peoples, which are based on the free development of commerce and manufactures, and on the respect of legal authority, religioc, morality, reciprocal confi dence and well-ordered family relations, to be any longer menaced. They will not allow the German people, who are so great by their virtues and by their devotedness to their sovereigns to lose their most pre cious rights." The Government of the states of the Zolverein have ratified the resolutions adopted in the general conference at Wiesbaden, for modification of the tariffs. It will be remembered that some months ago, M. MAW, the editor of a Hamburgh journal called the Mephistopheles, was severely beaten by six Austrian soldiers for an article in his journal which they re garded as insulting to the Austrian army. These soldiers were brought to trial a few days ago, and merely sentenced to a week's imprisonment. On the other hand, a hair-dresser who was the cause of the disturbance at Hamburgh between the Austrian sol diers and the inhabitants of St. Pauli, has been tried and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. A letter from Rastadt, in a Frankfort journal, says—" We learn from a good source that the two fifths of the contingents of the German federal states have received orders to hold themselves in readiness in order that the military organization of the Grand Duchy of Baden may be completed." The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung has been seized and confiscated by the police at Leipsic, for publish ing, under the head of " Great Britain," a notice of, and translations from portions of, Mr. GLADSTONE'S letter to the Earl of ABERDEEN on the treatment of the Neapolitan prisoners of state. LEVANT MAIL. - --- - - By the Levant mail we have received Constanti nople journals to the 14th, and Athens journals to the 18th, both inclusively. They are destitute of political news of importance. It appears by the following article, which we extracted from the Courrier d'Athenes, that the brigandage in Greece, which has been so frequently spoken of, remains almost un checked :-- "A band of brigands 'recently stopped the mail on the road from S parta to Tripolitz a , and took from the bags all letters which enclosed a n y bank-notes.

VISIT OF THE COURT TO SCOTLLND.—Her Ma jesty and Royal Family are not expected at Balmoral Castle until the end of August. It is not yet determined whether the Royal party will proceed first to Danrobin Castle or not ; but the visit has been so long promised, and the preparations so extensive and long-continued, that it is fully expected her Majesty will this season reach this almost " Ultima Thule " of her dominions. There has not been much building at Balmoral since last visit, but some additions to the out offices have been made, the grounds are kept in the best possible order, and the public are excluded, except in rar e cases.—Pert h Courier.
