No. CLXX Vll. A delightful paper on Gardening" —sage, but gossipping—leads off the present number of the Quarterly. In it the reviewer has collected toge ther, in agreeable confusion, a singular variety of knowledge relating to the science of botany, flavouring it with a tone of mingled pleasantry and enthusiasm. Several of the materials introduced into this charming olla podrida of scraps are recognised as old familiar favourites—such, for example, as the poetic receipt for a salad by the late Sidney Smith. The paper indeed sets out with a quotation famous throughout all lettered England, namely, Cowley's aspiration, addressed to Evelyn, that he might have "a small house and large garden," a green nook, where the carking cares of society might be forgotten in the verdure and sweetness of nature. Among those who are blessed with this most inestimable treasure, there are some who have their employees, and others who, with a few subordinates, are their own gardeners. To each of these classes we would very earnestly commend the truthful and hu morous comparison drawn by the Quarterly in the paper under consideration, between their respective joys and sorrows. Here it is, after the manner of tlutarch " Perhaps, indeed, none derive so great an amount of enjoyment from a garden as those of the every-gentle man-his-own-gardener sort. They are spared an im mense number of known nuisances, and revel in a mul titude of unknown delights. To be told by the men in early spring that there is nothing in the garden, neither for miasis' nor for cook;' and then to come in with a charming bunch of Russian violets, fragrant coltsioot, wall-flowers, polyanthus, &e., &c.,daphee, erica climes, for the cara sposa, and a punnet of the sweetest, greenest sprouts, and the plumpest, whitest seakale, for the emissary of him who did not send meat;—to insert mann prom-it; a bark-bound bud on a brittle branch, and after many months, or years, to gather therefrom a great handful of flowers or a heaping dish of fruit;—to be able to say,' With the sun shining in this manner, I cannot go on reading and writing, unless you lash me to my chair—give me the baskets—l will go and cut the vegetables for dinner;'—to dine with a puffy specimen of humanity, who has his pits and his pineries, and his gangs of people at nobody knows what wages, and to taste what he sets before you, and send him better next day—you keeping only the MID, the boy, and yoursell;— to see the look of thankfulness in a neighbour's eyes, when, driving to inquire after his convalescent wife or his sinking child, you produce some horticultural dainty, which will be enjoyed and relished because it comes unexpected—and they have nothing of the kind just noso;—to attack a standard rose with a head like a plied p&onica, and leave it as orderly as a little school boy's on Saturday afternoon;—to sow an infinity of seeds, and amidst the wilderness of seedlings to discover one which, if it is not, ought to be the best possible variety, the unapproachable exceeder of perfection— there is no finishing the list of luxuries. " Those delicate gentlefolks who scorn in any way to act as their own head gardener, have to compose their catalogue of ' delightful tasks' in quite a different type. E. G.—To fret for tour or five days together, with coin- Pang under your roof, over a shabby dessert;—at last, to ease your mind about it by telling your Scottish Chiet that though the grapes have been tolerable, the peaches have been poor, very different fruit from what the house promised when you were last in it; figs ditto; and to be answered by a remark touching the housekeeper's niece, and her tastes—the invisible girl with gooseberry eyes and her hair never out of papers, whom her aunt had your leave to ask down from London fur her health. To have to say to Mrs. Uppercrust that Mr. Mac Forcer shall, for the present, arrange his dessert immediately before its introduction to the dining-room ;—and to be told by her, in rejoinder, a story of Mr. Blanco, who Wanted extra-fine fruit for some superb affair, and bought in Covent-garden Market a supply which he Was told was the best that could be had, as they had just received their usual package from Mr. Blanco's gardener, who spared no expense. To obtain, at a reck less cost, the newest thing from Shanghae or the Hima layas, which is propagated with such difficulty that you cannot communicate it to your own sister or brother, and then, next year, to see it in plenty on the other sid e of the g ar d en palings of several of Mac Swill the helper's most intimate friends. To walk in well dressed Pleasure-grounds, for whose dressing you pay something handsome per annum, and to feel that you cannot do as you like there; reproached, if you cut a bouquet of roses, with having destroyed Mac Forcer's every chance of the prise for half a hundred dissimilar blooms at the next horticultural show—if you take the liberty of sending off a down pot-plants to a lady-friend, nods and winks, and whispered wonder ' how Missis will like it?' If you invade the kitchen garden, and ravage it of a few hampers full of good edibles, to be told that it is not tour perquisite, and to receive warning. To grudge spending a sixpence on a garden almanack, or an hour in reading it, and then to perceive that the men are grinning while you proceed to utter some long-hatched criticism on their operations." The contrast is sufficiently striking to induce many choleric members of the latter section of garden owners to discharge the tyrants hitherto hired by them for the management of their grounds, and henceforth themselves to assume the magic wands with which we summon up those fairies of the ground, the flowers —the spade, the rake, and the hoe. " Scotland before the Reformation" presents very large and numerous attractions to our compatriots beyond the Tweed, and will repay their curiosity with a st ore o f strange facts collected together by the historical an tiquary. Another reviewer, in the course of certain C ommentaries made upon the revelations given to the world by "Recent Travellers in North America," avails himself not merely of extracts from the volumes of Mr. Johnston, from those of M. Mar Mier, from the lecture of the Earl of Carlisle, and from , the work of Colonel Conynghame, but of others ,_ 4lB O culled from the latest columns of the press of the United States. The article will be found on exami nation to be one universally interesting. Subse quently we have an excellent criticism on the " Me- Moira of the Duke of Urbino," by Dennistoun, of D ennistoun; followed by a very readable paper on 1 3 ' 3 " Corre s p on d ence o f W a lp o l e an d Mason," pub - ished as recently as last year, from the original ma nuscripts. Scholars will relish the chapter given later on, Upon " B a dh am ' s E ur i p id es, " an d t h eo l og i s t s will turn with no little anxiety to the two remaining con tributions those on " Rubric versus Usage," anti on 16 n _. 'igen 8 Philosophoumena." Brief though the Paper upon "Badham's Euripides" is, it may be again 4a_uentioned here with propriety, as the most pithy and s uggestive in the whole of the current number of the uarte rlY• To this, therefore, we would direct the at lenti°ll of the general reader, and yet more pardon arly that of our more intelligent philologists. FINE ARTS. WASS'S GALLERY OF PAINTINGS. Among the numerous exhibitions of the Fine Arts 11 " v °Pen to public inspection in the metropolis, we kn ow of no one more eminently deserving of atten tion than the one which we ourselves have recently visited at No. 168, New Bond-street—a gallery in Vhich the proprietor, Mr. Wass, has collected to gether, at a very considerable outlay on his own Part, some of the greatest works of the most distin guished modern British painters. Scarcely a hundred P i ctures hang upon the walls of th e apartment, reek clog the paintings altogether, yet almost every indi vidual one amongst them is of a character so remark able for its excellence, that the lovers of art may find In them matt er f o r long and delightful contemplat i on. Equally fortunate in one or two other instances, Mr. West has been lucky enough, or we should rather 1311 Y enterprising and discriminating enough, t o tcure to himself perhaps the most valuable collec cri of Ett the United Kingdom. It is ' ys m possible to glance round the apartment without incsotagnnti:s a in nd g this immediately. The exquisite colour ing of our English Ti t i a n arrests attention on th e eftorts from the most phlegmatic and the 111°1 t fastidi ous the warmest express i ons of admira- Con. the It must b e con f e ssed that William Etty, to r egret of his fiends and admirers, has, by his demise, r acquired t h at claim upon vulgar praise which usually denied to the living. Hence it is that even d and • his productions have very considerably increase . fld are still gradually and appreciably increasing in .theiruetrdaedEettivi value, the public beginning, at length, to Perceive very generally the genius of the great artist circle, th was, within the limits of a restricted cause of such profound lamentation. w • 1011 s and diversified as are the specimens of his Powers i n A ir. attention NV asses Gallery, the visitor finds his th er n . confined very soon to one or two of *n o , . 1 , 11 Particular. Conspicuous, of course, e all the other paintings in the collection, both , '°r their energy an d th e i r a m biti on , a ( ;; his three great paintings of " Joan of Arc," 08. 27, 28, 29), exhibited a few seasons back on the walls of th e R oya l A ca d emy. Th e mer i ts o f : e go extrao r di nary wor k s (which have been recently howe ver, s Plendidly engrave d b y the i r propr i etor ) h ave, bee n so frequent l y asserted that it wou ld b e e ll i )e rfluous to enlarge upon them under present cir umstances. Those, nevertheless, who have not as , 3 ' v et had a n opportun i ty of examining them themselves e eld do well to pay a visit to the New Bond-street Gallery, and there see what noble efforts have been mode by modern art in England. Our recommenda tlTl applies with especial signific a n ce t o t h e multi ,.oreinue. of our p resent v i s i tors to the metropolis, both multi gore: and provincial. They will the re see h ow grandly Etty has depicted Joan of Arc in three epochs of her marvellous and memorable career—on her finding of the sword in the Church of St. Cathe rine de Fierbois—on her scattering the enemies of France e s a sortie from the gates of I lea when she stands upon the pile in the first agonies of her martyrdom. They Will see, moreover, from the hand of the same master (No. 31) an exquisite " Andromeda," and what is Yet finer than all, his famous " Judgment of Paris " (No. 51), perh aps the work which posterity will de ellire to be his masterpiece. Besides these the visitor will perceive other minor paintings of William Etty, the least remarkable among which are deserving cf the clo sest study and th e f u ll est eulogium. Instance this h is masterly " Study of a Peacock (No. 15) for the g r eat compositi on l as t particularised. Another erui- '.'"---..-............ THE SUN, nent painter, but one whose genius is not yet gene rally recognised, Paul Falconer Poole, will be fbund to have contributed to the collection two works which in time (perhaps when he has uohappily been withdrawn from us, like Etty, by death) will be among the glories of our national art—we mean his impressive representation of " Job and the Messen gers " (No. 39), and his great picture of " Solomon Eagle in the Plague of London" (No. 5), one of the noblest creations that ever marked the capacity of an English artist. Leslie's " Scene from the Vicar of Wakefield" (No. 20), will likewise, as a display of excellence in an entirely different department of art, secure to itself the scrutiny of those who can really appreciate what is natural and humorous. Indifferent as may be the general appearance of the colouring, a faint pink pervading the picture and predominating rather unpleasantly over all other hues, the work, as an illustration of Goldsmith, is happy to a miracle, from the fly-trap on the ceiling, and the orange-hold ing portraits on the wainscot, to the Hon. Miss Skeggs and the most decidedly dishonourable Lady Blarney. Two specimens of Turner will win the admiration of every discerning eye, one (No. 7) re presenting " The Whaler," and another (No. 16) a masterly display of his rare and unequalled power, , , depicting " The Bur n i ng o f th e H ouses o f Parlia ment." In one part of the gallery we noticed, more over, Ores wick's lovely little jewel of a picture (No. 37), " The Terrace, Haddon-hall, Derbyshire ;" elsewhere Herbert's (No. 14) " Christ and the Woman of Samaria," and several admirable speci mens of William Muller. Altogether, as we have beforeintimated, the collection displayed on the walls of Mr. \Vass's Gallery, is such as cannot fail to win the admiration of all who visit it, provided only they do so with a judicious estimate of British art, and of the genius of those painters who are among the num ber of our contemporaries. THE PRINCE OF WALES'S BAZAAR. A curious collection of paintings, by masters of the French and Flemish schools, not generally known in this country, has recently been added to the other at tractions of this establishment. Having ourselves in spected the works of art here gathered together, we can speak with some degree of emphasis of their aver age excellence. Several of the pictures, besides being singular from the circumstance of their antiquity, are singular also for the genius revealed in their concep tion.• We may allude, as examples of this, to a noble bead of St. Francis of Assisi, to head remarkable for its expression of rapt and ecstatic aspiration. A " Crucifixion" and " Last Supper" are contained in the gallery, deserving of especial notice for the bril liancy of their colouring, notwithstanding the lapse of time which has succeeded their original production. Various portraits of the age immediately anterior to, that of Louis Quatorze will be found not altogether undeserving of the notice of visitors ; their curiosity being repaid equally in other departments, as in that of the representation of fruit and flowers. The Koh-i-noor, however, among all the jewels of art, has not yet been particularized. It will be enough to say, that the picture gallery of the Prince of Wales's Bazaar, contains a magnificent specimen of Paulo Veronese to induce all the lovers of genius to follow our example, by themselves visiting this singular and interesting exhibition. THE ART JOURNAL. August brings us with the fruits of nature those also of art, as may be recognised by a glance at the pages of this splendid pictorial publication. In it we find united the attractions of the original periodical— and those, as its subscribers have long been aware, are sufficiently numerous—and of an illustrated catalogue, explanatory of the Great Industrial Exhibition. The enterprise evinced in this twofold undertaking will inevitably meet with the encouragement to which it is so eminently and peculiarly entitled. As additional engravings from the pictures contained in the Vernon Gallery we have this month Wyatt's noble head of " The Astrono mer," and Wilson's delicious representation of "Lake Avernus," the former engraved by Bell and the latter by Bentley. The plate portraying a copy from a sculptured original, is by S. H. Baker, and is taken from Theed's marble group of '• The Prodigal Son " returned to the embrace of his father. As a bio graphy, embellished with woodcuts, we find likewise in the current number of the Art Journal, the life of " John Both," preceeded by a likeness. Woodcuts we call the illustrations, though they appear to us in their scratchy minuteness to bear a strong resemblance to specimens of glyphograpby. The letter-press of the Art Journal, it may be observed, is of average ex cellence, the leading paper in the instalment before us relating to a subject of some interest, namely, to the lighting of picture and sculpture galleries. Among the illustrations given in the supplementary portion, will be remarked a clever sketch of the colossal equestrian statue of Godfrey de Bouillon, one of the most extraordinary works of art contributed to the Great Industrial Exhibition. KNIGHT'S PICTORIAL SIIAKSPERE. Othello and Timon of Athens are the plays com prise 4 in the last instalments of this admirable edi tion, and fully bear out its reputed excellence, while in addition to this, they justify its popularity and ex tend its reputation. Tee foot notes have been judi ciously selected from those more costly and volu minous editions which have gained for Charles Knight such high fame as one of the most intelligent and judicious among Shakspere's commentators. IRASER'S TRAVELLING MAP of IRELAND. A• new Travelling Map of Ireland, secured by a handsome and substantial cover, has just been pub lished by Mr. McGlashan of Dublin. It is a great improvement on all its predecessors, having the dis tances between all the towns, villages, railway stations, &c., carefully measured and marked in statute miles, and all the main and principal cross roads inserted, together with the more remarkable topographical features of the island. The heights of the principal mountains are likewise given, by which it appears that the highest mountain altitude in Ire land is that attained by Carrantuohill, in the county of Kerry, which rises on the western side of the Killarney lakes to an elevation of 3,414 feet. This fresh production of Mr. Fraser's industry and skill is unquestionably the most useful and the most easily read travelling map of the sister kingdom that has ever been published. It is one with which no tourist should omit to provide himself, and which will be found to prove, for the purposes of reference, a most welcome assistant even to those who may already be familiar with the geography of the country which it illustrates so accurately and clearly. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Str.,—The mercantile public are heavily indebted to you for condescending to notice the uewholesome con dition of the share market. The mischievous conse quences of a railway panic are much more serious than those great journalists who devote a whole column to the wrongs of a gingerbread dealer can possibly sup pose. The evil efftcts are obvious to a moment's reflec tion, but, in the desire to be fair, we will state, as a set off, one good result. A little army of sty ckjobbers with their wives and families are almost entirely supported by trotting the public up and down by the nose. If ten people set running in a crowded street with any symp tom of alarm, ten hundred will follow in breathless con qurnatiun, till one strong-minded man discovers that it is only a cow with a crumpled horn increasing hie walk to a brisk trot; and precisely analogous is that baneful phenomenon, a railway panic. Now, in any case of causeless terror a timely word will avert great calamity. If a church congregation smell fire, and the clerk shouts in explanation that the i e s vers running t excitement. of th e public parson' s grea t coat h as b een too near t h e stove , a pani c and its eff ects are h app il y o b v i ate d.

EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An acci dent of an extraordinary ch n ar a a i c lw te a r y h happened Railway, near on Monday ni itilairathie) fireman and a guard, riswe r n h i a sh a o c p h s a to r k g e e . oi l a t luggage g h at,g appearsoe n tthr t aa h it e n Saorul mandt,h -tnWoagmeestethdeerrlnvwi proceeded along the line; but atter some and ebe traothtin washe en gine-driver and the fireman fell asleep,i the left to proceed on its journey without anyone to take care of it beyond the guard, who not knowing what had befallen the two others, made no attempt to get towards them. Thefire in the furnace of the locom otive not having been fed w ith fresh fuel, went out, which of course p r evented the steam from keeping up. Upon arriving ne ar Bishopstoke, how ever, Priswell, the engine-driver, fell off the locomotive, and received very serious injuries; it is stated that both his legs were broken. The guard, on witnessing the occur rence, applied the breaks, and, owing to the steam being s o low, fortunately succeeded in bringing the tra i n to a stand still, when he descended, and on getting to the tender found the fireman so fast asleep that before he could wake him he was obliged to take him by the shoulders and shake him violently. The injured driver was picked up and removed to obtain surgical assistance. The fire in the furnace having been made up, the train was at length removed to its desti nation, but had another train come along whilst the one in question was proceeding so slowly, it is impossible to con ceive what might have been the consequences Both men were perfectly sober when they started with the train, but they were greatly fatigued, having been up they stated fur two days and nights. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION, ALDERS GATE-STREET.—Last evening Mr. Milne, the Scottish vo calist, appeal ed at the above institution, to give his second lec ture on the songs and ballads of Scotland. The songs were excellently selected, and were received most favourably by a very large and highly respectable audience. It cannot be a m Atter of doubt but that Mr. Milne's entertainments are becoming much more highly appreciated in London as they become better known to the public, and that he will speedily achieve that popularity in this country he has for some time deservedly enjoyed in his own. Amongst the songs that were most admired we may particularize the " Laird o' Cockpen," "Johnny Sands," and "John Grumlie," which were most harmoniously given, as well as "Th e Flowers of the Forest" and " The Lass o' Cowrie," which were rendered with much feeling awl souLd musical judgment. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FESTIVITIES AT LOWESTOFT. FURTHER COMMUNICATION WITH NORTHERN EUROPE. A feat of locomotion, unprecedented in the Eastern Counties' territory, was performed on Tuesday and Wednesday last, with a view to signalize this year's Lowestoft Regatta, which was otherwise abundantly dis tinguished beyond the anniversary of this time twelve month. At seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, Mr. D. Waddington, M.P., chairman, and others of the direc tors, together with Mr. Gooch, of the locomotive depart ment, and Mr. G. Richardson, the coaching superin tendent, started in a special mixed train of ten carriages from the Shoreditch terminus, and arrived at Lowestoft, the extremest eastern point of England, distant from the capital 126 miles, in a few minutes over three apd a half hours. Even this speed, calculated as it was to astonish the somewhat lethargic philosophers of the Fens, would have been exceeded, but that the line was in several places impeded by excursionist traffic, entailing the ne cessity of shunting between Cambridge and Ely; and a considerable time was also lost between Norwich and Lowestoft owing to the cheap trains, laden with an enor mous number of passengers, proceeding to the regatta. On arriving at Lowestoft the party were met by Mr. Pets', Member for Norwich, chairman of the Norfolk Company, and by Lord Alfred Paget, lately become a director of the Eastern Counties, who had proceeded thither the previous day in his beautiful craft the Mona, which however met with no competitor for the 50 guinea cup, and the Noble Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron set sail for Cowes in the evening. The directors and their friends inspected the lions of the place, now of a magnitude and completeness that, considetieg they are but the growth of yesterday, can hardly be credited by those at a distance, notwithstand ing the engineering skill and the continuous liberality of the means well known to have been expended upon them. The contrivances in particular for the accommodation of the Danish cattle trade, which, though commenced but a few months ago, has already attained an importance alto gether beyond the most extravagantexpectations that could have been fcrmed, elicited great admiration from those who saw them for the first time. No less so did the un usual number of religious and educational institutions, compared with the population; and among those peculiar to Lowestoft is that of Colville-house, situated on the salt water Lake Lothing, for imbecile children of the upper classes, where Dr. Foreman is most successfully carrying out a new treatment of mental complaints in young sub jects, having been induced to select that neighbourhood for his experiments by Mr. Peto, whose donation of 1,000/. to the Idiot's Asylum is but one of the many evidences of the special interest that gentleman takes in the alleviation of the disorders more immediately referred to. The staple of Lowestoft, the fishing trade, being universally pros perous both this and'last season, the resident inhabitants were in the best possible frame of mind for the apprecia• tion of the compliments bestowed on the natural and ar chitectural beauties of their town, whose buildings vie with those of many of the older and more fashionable watering places—the Royal Hotel in particular, on the Marine Parade, the great boast of this part of East An glia, being an establishment rivalling the most famous hostelries of Brighton, Bath, or Cheltenham. At this house, on Tuesday evening, a splendid dinner was provided by Mr. Howett, the proprietor, in the su perb new banquetting-hall, at which upwards of 100 sat down, under the presidency of Mr. Peto, who, in the course of one of his addresses, which wore for the most part necessarily of a local character, communicated some facts of general interest in connexion with the subject of increased extension of our commerce in the north of Europe, and which consequently deserve a wide-spread publicity. In reply to his health, proposed in very elo quent terms by Mr. Waddington, M.P., who happily eu logised his well-known enterprise, far-sightedness, and munificence, in various parts of England, especially on the site of that day's festivities, in which nearly all the leading gentry of Norfolk and Suffolk had participated. Mr. PETO, after gracefully disposing of the personal portion of the compliment, and disclaiming the unqua lified disinterestedness of the motives ascribed to him, inasmuch as his own interest aas identified with that of his immediate friends and neighbours around him, ad verted at considerable length to the greatly increased development of the cattle trade between the north of Europe and Lowestoft. Ile remarked, that he rel garded the advancement of the latter Iccality, on which he had set his heart most intently, with the utmost con fidence from the moment he had fixed his eyes on the distant shore opposite, and felt that its trad e must be theirs if sought. They were all aware that within the last few months a °new route had been opened to Den mark, and with the best results. By next Saturday he trusted to be on his way to Norway, there to arrange for the construction of the first line of railway in that country, forming a connecting link with the capital of the former kingdom; and as the best evidence of the ear nestness and honesty of the Norwegian people, he might mention} that before they permitted them (the contrac tors) to move a step, the commissioners had deposited in the National Bank a quarter of a million sterling as an assurance that no risk would be run. By the next regatta dinner he hoped to announce that a railroad was in rapid progress between Copenhagen and Chris tiana, as well as between the former capital and those parts on the Danish shores with which Lowestoft had re cently commenced a direct trade. If, by these means, there were brought into operation new facilities of inter communication between the nations; and that St. Pe terdsurgh, for iustarce, was placed three days nearer London than at present, he hoped his good friends of the city of Norwich would take advantage of the cir cumstance, and by carrying to other countries the arts in which that city was still unrivalled, as she had ever been unsurpassed, would nobly emulate those foreigners to whom they themselves were originally so greatly in debted ; fur he need hardly remind his hearers that it was to the emigration of the ingenious and industrious Flemings from their own country and their settlement in Norfolk, that Norwich owed its early pre-eminence, still sustained amidst all vicissitudes, in pursuits so long identified with her celebrity, and thus reciprocate the obligations their forefathers had incurred at the hands of the ingenious and accom plished strangers of the Low Countries. It was the duty of all, as it was evidently the instinct of the great majority, and the tendency of the age, to go forward; and he was proud to think that those in that neighbourhood showed no disposition to stand still, much less to retrograde. If, some very few years ago, he had told them that, from the spot on which he stood, he could send a question to the port of Chester, and receive an answer withia an hour and a halt', as was the case last week, they would have thought it high time to send him to Thorpe Asy lum; but it, on Saturday next, he should set out for Nor way, and having consulted and arranged with the autho rities of that kingdom and of Sweden and Denmark, tor bringing all three into closer proximity, and be able to communicate that he s had done so by the 17th, he thought he would have supplied proof that what had been lately done in the way of economising time and dis tance was hardly more remarkable than what might be anticipated in the same direction. It is unncessary to add that the Hon. Gentleman's speech was received with all the enthusiasm to be ex pected from an assemblage of his personal friends. Most of them, in common with the great bulk of those arri ving in Lowestoft that day, had met rather to observe the progress of the works he bad suggested so wisely, and was carrying out so triumphantly, than to criticise the strictly marine entertainment to which they were os tensibly invited, though these were of a character suffi ciently gratifying to the amour propre of the proverbially daring and skilful mariners of this coast, whose manage ment of the "yawls" constitutes an unique feature of sra craft. At night the front of the Royal Hotel was il luminated with great brilliancy, and fireworks were digs charged in a fashion highly creditable to the skill of the " bloater" community. The special train renamed at eight o'clock yesterday morning, in the pleasantest manner possible; and, in cluding a more than reasonable stay at Ely and Cam bridge respectively, aceomplished the entire distance in three hours and three-quarters—a celerity, as before stated, previously never attempted on this line, and the facile attainment of which is a fact of the highest im portance taken in connexion with the forthcoming deve lopment of the railway system in the north of Europe, as indicated by Mr. Peto. GRAND MARINE REGATTA AT LOWESTOFT. LOWESTOFT, TUESDAY NIGUT.—This day the grand annual marine regatta took place at Lowestoft . , under the patronage of Sir Thomas Marion Wilson, Bart., S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P., and a large body of members of the Eastern Yacht Club, and was most numerously and fashionably attended. Amongst the company present were Lord Alfred Paget, S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P., Mrs. Peto and family; Colonel and Miss Ilardy, Captain and Mrs. Lethes and family, the Rev. Dr. Bird and Mrs. Bird, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Clarke, J. Ouchin, Esq., J. Green, E? q., Mr. Vernon, the Misses Leighs, Captain Ellis, Cap tain Preston, Mr. Webber, J. R. Burkett, Esq., J. Clay, Eq., W. Ashcroft, Dq., &c. &c. From an early hour in the morning trains continued to pour in visitors from London, Norwich, and Yar mouth, until mid-day. Several v e ss e l s i n th e har bour were gaily dressedin the colours of all nations, and the pier and esplanade . were crowded w i t h e l egant l y dressed ladies and their families. A considerable num ber of persons took advantage of the stea mers lyi ng i n the harbour, and accompanied the different matches round the course. The course for yachts, yawl s , an d beats, was from the moorings laid down abreast of the New South Pier Head, thence to the South buoy off Newcombe, thence through the Stamford Channel, round the light-ship under the shoal buoy, thence to the start ing place, passing between the pier and the cutter an. ehored abreast. Twice round the course, passing all the buoys on the port. The distance sailed was about twenty miles. The first match of the day was sailed by yawls, for a purse of 30 sovereigns. At half-past eleven the following vessels left the starting vessel off the South Pier Head:— Eclipse, 54 try' Victoria, d et 4 ot , or , l l t aj e a, t feet, fi 4 l4 o L f tweoe: Lowestoft—White.

On coming round the pier on the first round the Greyhound, having unshipped her gaff, gave up the contest. The second round caused the greatest excite ment, and the vessels, after a very animated race, came in in the following order:-- h. in. s.

The following vessels, which appeared to be exce, lently assorted, started for this prize at lh. Bm. 20s.:— Maria, 21 feet, Sir J. Preston, Bart.—White, with red cross. Widgeon, 16 feet, H. Green, Esq.—Blue and white. Kathleen, 19 feet, Lound, Esq.—Blue, white, and red. Zephyr, 19 feet, H. Dowson, Esq.—Blue and white. Osprey, 20 feet, E. Meatman, Esq.—Red. On starting, the Zephyr took the lead, but it was but of temporary duration, for the Maria soon dis tanced her, which place she kept, and on the first round passed the buoy in gallant style, at least, half a-mile ahead of the Widgeon, that had now taken the second place, which was followed at a very respectful distance by the Kathleen and Zephyr, which positions were unchanged during the second round, the vessels coming in as follow : h. m. s. Maria ... 2 7 4 Zephyr ••• 2 16 30 Widgeon 2 14 20 Kathleen ... ... 2 20 16 The Osprey gave up on the second round. On arriving off the pier head the winner was received with enthusiastic cheering. The great match of the day was for a purse of twenty sovereigns, to be sailed for by yachts not exceeding fifty tons. Three to start, or no race. Half a minute per ton allowed for difference of tonnage. The follow ing yachts were entered, and started at 1.30: — Fanny, 20 tons, W. Clay, Esq.—Red. Waveney, 15 tons, R. N. Bacon, Esq.—Blue. Little Eastern, 10 tons, Captain Andrews—White. Iris, 10 tons, R. A. Reeve, -Esq.—White with blue square. Pearl, 12 tons, Sir W. B. Proctor, Bart.—White with red cross. Red Rover, 14 tons, Thomas Palmer, Esq.—Red, white, and red. Kestrel, 10 tons, Charles Crawshay, Esq.—Red cross, white ground. Salute, 10 tons, T. Cardinal, Esq.—Nag's head. The Tantivy was entered for this race, but did not ap pear at the starting buoys. The yachts had a gay ap pearance on taking their places, and on the signal gun being fired the Pearl was the first to get underweigh, followed by the Red Rover, and at some distance from them by the rest. The Waveney, being unable to weather the pier, nearly got across the moorings, lost considerable time before she could join in the contest.

The match for a purse of fifty sovereigns for yachts not exceeding 50 tons, half-a-minute time, did not fill. There were also rowing matches for 6-oared beach gigs, and a match for sailing punts for a prize of 101. The vessels is the harbour and the pier were enlivened during the day by several bands, who performed some very choice music at intervals. The sports were brought to a close soon after six o'clock in the evening; and if numbers of persons col lected to witness them, and hearty cheering that greeted the several winners can be taken as a criterion, the amusements gave general satisfaction, and the caterers for the "creature comforts" in Lowestoft must have reaped an abundant harvest. The Regatta dinner took place in the evening at the , Royal Hotel, on the Esplanade, at which about 150 gen tlemen sat down. The chair was taken by S. M. Peto, Esq , M.P., supported by Lord A. Paget, Sir Edward Lake, Captain Gooch, D. Waddington, Esq., chairman of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and the members of the Eastern Yacht Club. Several excellent speeches were made, and the evening passed off with satisfaction at the present success and future prospects of the harbour of Lowestoft. In the evening the front of the Royal Hotel was bril liantly illuminated with appropriate and complimentary devices, and at night the inhabitants and numerous visitors were gratified by a splendid display of fireworks from the Esplanade, with which the amusements of the most successful regatta ever witnessed at this place was brought to a close. Ic was computed that not less than 20,000 persons were among the visitors from Norwich and Yarmouth alone, to convoy whom, every possible vehicle was brought into requisition, in addition to the frequent trains on the railway, varying from 36 to 40 carriages each.

SPORTING N OTES. No. XCVI. THE PROBABLE FIELDS AND WINNERS OF TO-MORROW'S RACES AT GOODWOOD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU-V. SlR,—The performances commenced yesterday with a couple of walks over; then came the great s t a k e o f t h e day, the Goodwood Stakes, for which thirteen nags put in an appearance, including all the favourites, with the solitary exception of Cariboo, who was scratched on Tuesday evening at five o'clock. This scratching of Mr. Greville's elicited some angry comments from a good many persons, who were by the proceeding put most uncomfortably in the hole. Though not approving the scratching of favourites at the last moment, it is my opinion that the owner in this instance adopted the wiser course in withdrawing him from the Stakes contest and sending him for the Cup instead; which, by the bye, will be won by him or Nancy for a certainty, with Mentes and Landgrave third and fourth. But, to return to the Goodwood Stakes, from which I am sadly digressing, directly the thirteen competitors were well on their hgs, Hurry-Scurry, after having previously bolted and pitched her jockey off, sprang to the front and made the running to the turn round tne clump; here Duc•an•Durras and Narcissus took the had, which they kept, however, ( nly for an instant, both taking the turn into the Queen's Plate Course, instead of pursuing the G. S. C.; the cons{ quence was that they were immediately out of the race ; both were going well at the time and looking very much like winners. Immediately atter this, to their backers' nerves—exqui site blander, Windischgratz took up the running, and, with The Grand Duke immediately in his rear, carried it on to halt-way up the hill; here Pitsford came with a rush and dispossessed Windy of his lead; it was only a temporary advantage, however, Windy going round the turn first, with Bacton and " the crack" still at his heels. Two distances from home Bacton obtained the lead, which he maintained to near the stand; hero, however, the race to all intents and purposes was over, Backbiter, having gradually crept up in the straight run in, suc cessively passed Windy, The Grand Duke, Strong bow, and Bacton, and won very cleverly by a length, Nat holding the old horse well together. The Grand Duke beat Strongbow for second place by a length; the latter started to take care of his juvenile stable-companion—Harpsichord, did not come until the last moment, or he might have repeated Windy's Liverpool Cup and Goodwood Stakes' dose of last year. Bacton was a fair fourth, and Windischgratz fifth; the rest nowhere{ The two great guns of a week or two ago—Presto and Harpsichord, could not live the pace. Time, exactly the same as last year, 4 min 54 secs. The aristocratic division "throw in" for a good stake; the book-makers, except in two or three lucky instances, are losers on the race, notwithstanding the number of horses that have been backed for it since the weights appeared. To-morrow's " bill of fare" for a last day's is an uncommonly good one, sporting, as it does, no less than eight events. Tho Nassau Stakes, one mile, will, in all probability, be contested by Aphrodite, Bst 131 b; Bareelona,,,Bst 71b ; and Anspach, Sat 71b; or the Squaw, Bst 71b. With a start, I have no hesitation in placing APHRODITE first, Anspach second, and Barcelona third. The Richmond Stakes, one mile and three quarters, is a very open affair ; the antago nists, I fancy, will be Runnymede, Bst 41b; Iris, Bst 51b; and Hesse Homberg, Bst 41b. IRIS ought to win this stake. The field for the Chesterfield Cup will, probably, be composed of Turnus, Strongbow or Loadstone, Offi cious, Dulcet, Champion, Eva, Humphrey, Nautch Girl, Croupier, and Faux-pas. Four or fire others may be sent in addition to the above; their names, however, I cannot give. As I observed before, in Note No. 89, STRONGBOW or OFFICIOUS is the animal my prophetic lorgnette points at as the winner. The field for the Nursery will be composed of Grey Tommy, Cytherea filly, Constantine or Jullien, Ham bletonian, Frantic, colt by Touchstone, Iresine, Sir Charles Napier, Benita, The Sphynx, M. Houdin, Senorita, Lady Blanche, and Maria or Plumstead. Not placing much faith in the cracks, I shall look among the light weights for a winner, and I think it very pos sible I may find the name of note in SENORITA, or one of the Goodwood fillies—MAßlA or PLUMSTEAD. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. July 31, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES.

In proceeding to the post Hurry-Scurry bolted, and threw the lad, without injuring him. At starting, Hurry-Scurry took the lead, closely fol lowed by Windischgratz, Duc-an-Durras, Narcissus, and several of the light weights, Pitsford, Champion, and Backbiter, bringing up the rear. They ran in this order until near the turn round the clump, when Duc-an- Durres and Narcissus went in advance, the latter un luckily taking the turn into the Queen's Plate course, instead of continuing in the proper one; the Irish horse followed her, and thus both were put hors de combat . Windischgratz now took up the running, attended by Hurry-Scurry, Bacton, and Grand Duke, Pitsford and Backbiter, still lying in the re a r ; th e race procee d e d thus till half-way up the hill, when Pitsford went up, caught Windischgratz near the top, and headed him round the turn, but a few strides further gave way, the front rank being left in posaiesion of Bacton, Grand Duke, and Windischgratz, Bacton lead ing. On this lot Backbiter waited to the distance, where he closed, ran with them until within sixty or seventy yards of home, and won very cleverly by a l engt h. Strongbow, who laid off until near the stand, obtaining the third place, finishing a length from Grand Duke. Bacton was fourth, and Windischgratz fifth. Run in 4 rain. 54 sec.

Hesse Homburg here went in front, and went on with a strong lead, and half way up the distance appeared to be win Bing in a canter, but Sir Rowland Trenchard coming with a tremendous rush opposite the stand, headed her, and after a slashing race won by half a length. The race was not timed. This race was followed by a tremendous thunder storm, the atmosphere being so thick that the country a quarter of a mile from the stand was completely shut out from view; the weather had previously been very fine. This change, as unlooked for as it was unwelcome, in duced the stewards to issue an order that the jockeys were not to mount until the storm abated.

In the same week of 1849 cholera was raPidksprtlading and swelled the amount to 1,931 ; but setting aside that year, and taking the corresponding weeks of other years in the series 1841.50, it appears that the lowest number was 749 in 1843, and the highest 1,201 in 1848, and within the weeks subject to comparison the amount did not in general exceed 900. Of the 956 deaths of last week, 282 are attributed to diseases of the symotic or epidemic order, showing a sudden and remarkable increase on the 224 and 209 cases of the same description registered respectively in the two previous weeks. On the other baud, persons who died from diseases of the respiratory organs (ex clusive of hooping-cough and consumption), in the pre wviiot uh within week R s ' a e m ro e period p t h h e t b l i e s i s s t e a es wk risen ly f S r t 5, na .; l b l u o t to 141. Among epidemics which have become more fatal may be mentioned scarlatina, which numbered 6 in the pre ceding return, end IS in the present; typhu•, which has risen from 32 to 59, and oiarrluan, almost exclusively confined to children not older than one year, whose pro gress is marked by the numbers of four successive weeks; vz., 23, 53, 64, and in last week 83. In subdistrict of Liydenhutn, in Jew's-walk, a gentle man died atter suffering 24 hours trom diarrhoea. The medical attendant states that " wi:hin one hundred yards of the residence of deceased, and on his own property, there is, and has been tor a consider:ll)he period, upwards of 20 square yards of surface overflowed with sewage, empty lug itself into a ditch of about 30 yards long, which has no outlet, and is constantly stirred up with rains and exposed to the rays of th e sun , em i tt i ng at a ll times the most pestilential Tire immediate neighbourhood is thickly populated, and th,a health of the inhabitants much endangered.

" Two cases of diarrhea, one of which has been fatal, are reported, in Payne-street, Islington; and hero also the drainage is bad, a circumstance to which the medical man attributes the origin of the disease. died of " cholera infantum (3 days)." The following are the particulars of twelve cases of cholera registered during the week:—ln Kensington, at Fulham months, died at Parsons -green, on 25th July, the 5, Queen's-road, on 1511 July, the son of a cab proprie- I t lse o onr r na , F.o:ufglehadThe cottage .

In Gray's Inn-lane sub district, at 8, North-place, on 21st July, the daughter of an artificial flower maker, aged 15 months , " diarrheas (2 months), English cholera (3 days)." Mr. Worrell describes the dwelling as " confined and unwholesome."

In the sub-district of Hackney-road, at 8, Vincent -street, on July 17, the son of a labourer, aged 10 weeks, "English cholera (1 week)." Mr. Murray states that " the street is cl ose , crowded, and undrained.' He adds, that "up to Saturday, the 26th, the child had not been buried, and lay during the hot weather in a close room, containing six persons who had only a single apartment for all the purposes of life. The decomposi tion of the body rendered the place very offensive, and cannot be otherwise than injurious to health,. Old Nichol-street, where a child died of diarrhea, and Mead -street, a continuation of Vincent- s t ree t, where another died of scarlatina maligna, are also described close and undrained streets. In St. George-in-the-East, at 24, James-street, on 22d July, the son of a cabinet maker, aged 8 months, "English cholera (3 days)." In Kennington, at 3a, Henry-street, Vassal-road, on 21at July, the daughter of a commercial traveller, aged months, " diarrheas ; cholera infantum (6 days)." " This (is a new house; there is no drainage, and the water, which stagnates in the garden, is at times very offensive." In the above list the disorder is designated in nearly all the cases "E ng li s h c h o l era, " or " cholera infantum, ' and, with one exception, the patients were still at that early age in which so many at this time of the year fall under " diarrheas," a shorter term, and applied to a milder form of the same complaint. The duration of the disease, as stated in most of the 12 cases, is also characteristic of the ordinary form of cholera, for dur ing the severe visitations of the epidemic one half of the cases terminate in less than 24 hours.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHTSICIANS.--LaSt night this distinguished body held a conversazione at their rooms in Pall-mall, which was attended by a large number of eminent persons, native and foreign. Such meetings are very un usual with them, but they have yielded with appropriate grace to the spirit of social intercourse which is prevalent in this remarkable year, and the apartments of the college were yesterday evening decorated with as near an approach to festive and convivial effects as is reconcilable with the profession of physic. The attractions of the occasion were evenly divided between flowers and fossils, between refresh ments and the study of microscopic phenomena. A Persian, arrayed in magnificent eastern attire, helped by his presence to break down the monotony of our English full. dress cos tume, which, especially when the wearers of it are chiefly medical men, produces by no means an agreeable or re assuring impression. For the rest the occasion appeared to pass off very pleasantly, the variety of curious and scientific objects arranged on the tables supplying ready sources of conversation. Among those present we observed the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Colborne, Lieutenant-Colonel North, Captain Sibthorpe, the Bishop of Sodor and Man, Archdeacons Hale and Burney; Sirs Henry Ellis, Richard Weatmacott, William Newton, Benjamin Brodie, Charles Fellow, James South, John Herschell, and Charles Young; Rev. Doctors Russell, Croker, and Plumptre ; Revs. Richard Foyle, Russell, Williams, Edwin Foyle, Babington, and Row latt ; Judge Patteson, Sir F.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in favour of Engl an d ; an d a f ter ma ki ng allowance f or leaves a profit on th e i mportat i on o f go ld f rom the differ ence of inte res t an d c h arges of transport, t h e presentf . a e t d e United States.

The in.- crease on the London and North-Western, in the week' ending on Saturday, as compared with the corresponding week last year, is upwards ot 14,0 001 . , w hile on the Great Western the increase exceeds 10,0001., or upwards of 70 per cent.
