_MILL ON TUE BALLOT. Mr. 111111 writes to the morning papers : " As it would appear from the report of Mr. Bright's eloquent speech at birmitigham that there exists some misapprehension con !ailing my present opinion on the ballot, I should be Obliged by your permitting me to state that my opinion is as clevidedly unfavourable to the ballot as it ever was ; that I should see its adoption with regret in any part of the United Kingdom ; that I spoke against it in a meeting of my constituents on the same evening on which Mr. Bright was speaking at Birmingham; and that I voted against its adoption in Ireland at the division on it this session." ROYAL AECILEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE. 'I he archmologista made their first great excursion on Thursday. Leaving the Lancaster Castle station at an early hour, the party travelled by the Furness Railway to Barrow, where the new docks inaugurated by Mr. Gladstome last autumn were inspected, and a steamer was in readiness to convey them to Piel to inspect the castle. Thence they returned to Barrow by steamer, and by train to Furness Abbey, where about the time of the despatch of this report Mr. Sharpe, the eminent archaeologist, was to deliver a lecture. The party were after wards entertained by the Mayor of Barrow, and returned to Lancaster by train in the evening. Furness Abbey has been so frequently visited and described that further details of the visit are unnecessary. There was, however, a meeting of the architectural section on Thursday night at the Lancaster Music-hall, at which an interesting discussion arose between the chairman, Mr. Parker, and Mr. Sharpe. The Rev. J. L. Petit read an account of the church of Cartmel Priory. He described in detail the different features of this priory church, which presented a very remarkable mixture of the Norman and early English styles of architecture. Arches situate opposite to each other were found to be the one round and the other pointed, and these must have been built at the same period. He considered the whole church a good, but perplexing, example of Gothic architecture. The chairman (Mr. Parkes), in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Petit, parti cularly desired to call attention to the fact that they must not consider the form of the arch in-the building as a guide to its age ; that form was commonly a matter of convenience. People were apt to think that if they found a round-headed arch it must be one of the 12th century, and that if it was pointed it must have been of the 13th century. Now, he could show them round-headed doorways of all periods where it was convenient to make them. The form of the arch was, in fact, no guide to the date ; they must look to the mouldings and tracery. Mr. Sharpe having spoken of the Rev. Mr. Petit's great abili ties as a watercolour draughtsman, proceeded to take exception to the chairman's views as to the round and pointed arches. It was true they might find exception to his rule, but unquestionably for the first 1,000 years of the Christian era the round arch was used, and for the last 1,000 years the pointed arch was used. That was the guide to go by ; but there was a period intervening when the round arch had to give way to the pointed, and this transitional period was interesting as the grave of the early form— 'the Romauesque—and the cradle of the later—the Gothic. In the first twenty-two years of the transitional period (which lasted cnly about forty-II we years) the arches of construction were pointed, and the arches of decoration Were circular. At the end of this transitional period there was some confusion, and an apparent desire to return to the old style. THE BISHOP OF LONDON ON MIDDLE CLASS EDUCATION. The Bishop of London on Thursday addressed a meeting held at Breutford, to consider the position of the middle class school there. Having distributed the prizes to the boys of the school, his lordship said: Mr. "Walpole had remarked, as indeed the report had brought before them, that the particular class for whose benefit these schools had been established had, in the educational arrange ments of the country, been exposed to considerable dis advantage. Ail of them knew how much had been done in the course of the last thirty years in the matter of education of the poor. It had been naturally answered, when the Parliament or Government had been called upon to assist, equally with others, in the education of the middle classes, that the middle classes were quite capable of taking care of themselves, while it was absolutely necessary to provide the poorer classes the means of education. It was further stated that with regard to the middle classes, seeing that, as a whole, they were a wealthy body, they were not only able to provide for their own children but were very anxious to do so whenever proper opportunities offered. He (the bishop ventured to think there had been a very considerable fallacy in that statement. If that were true of the middle classes it must be to a still greater extent true of the higberclasses, and in justification of that view he would invite any of those present to visit either of the ancient universities of Oxford or Cambridge, and to see for them selves whether the education of t7:e higher ch.sses was conducted entirely at their own expense. Oa the contrary, it was the old foundations, the glorious buildings, the salaries provided for professors and fellows through the old founations that attracted men of all classes there. They had been committing a great mistake, that whereas from the public funds the country had gladly contributed towards the education of the poor, large means being meanwhile provided through the old foundations for the education of the higher classes, the middle classes had been left to do the whole work for themselves. He did not think that was entirely fair, and lie believed the whole error had arisen from some misap prehension of the facts of the case. But the matter was even worse than that. He did not wish to stir up the middle class to any grievance, but he felt himself bound to express his opinion that the middle classes had been ill used in this matter of education, 'for in old times these foundations of Oxford and Cambridge embraced a far larger number of the middle classes than they did at the present time. It was perfectly clear that the founders of these institutions intended them mainly for the benefit of the middle classes, and in the old times the middle classes availed themselves of the advantages which the univer sities offered far more than they did at present. It was not his wish to be understood to say that the middle classes did not avail themselves of the advantages which the universities offered now. On the contrary, be knew that they availed themselves of those privileges very largely. No doubt it was intended, when the universities were founded, that they should exercise such an influence more extensively than they did at present ; and the reason why that influence was not to its full extent exer cised now was not, he thought, owing to any dereliction of duty on the part of the universities so much as in the change which bad been brought about by the extension of commerce. For instance, a man did not want to read Creek plays to make his fortune in the City ; and many a father thought that it would be a waste of time for his son to go to the University to learn mathematics and classics when be might be better employed in a City office. This was one of those changes which took place imperceptibly in society, for which no one was to blame, but in which the result, notwithstanding, was the same. In another matter the middle classes had fared even worse. A great number of grammar schools had been in former times established throughout the country, and there could be no doubt that the persons who founded them in tended them for the benefit of the middle classes. He sin cerely trusted that the commission to which Mr. Walpole had alluded would have the effect of restoring the ancient grammar schools to their or;ginal uses, and thus make them a benefit to the MID try. (Cheers). Their ancestors founded those schools, and, in what they considered their wisdom, made a provision for all time to come. They provided against all contingencies for the future, and laid down a system of instruction which, as time went on, was found suit to be suitable for the middle classes of the country. Men in that class of life had therefore not availed them selves of the advantages which had been provided for their children, the conscrlnenee being that the endowed grammar schools of the c4untry, which were intended for the benefit of the middle classes, had become training institutions for young men of the higher classes, who were going up to the universities. GOVERNMENT .APPOINTMENTS.—The Post ItS3CItS, without fear of contradiction, that the original statement of The Owl, that Sir James rerg,usson is to be the new Cvvernur of South Australia, was perfectly correct. It also confirms the paragraph which appeared in Thursday's Times relative to Mr. Ducane's appointment to Tasmania •---a paragraph which would also have been contradicted had it appeared a few daya ago.

Tun NEW KNAPSACK.— We were very glad to be assured by Sir John Pakington that there was no desire on the part of eith , ‘r the War Oirce or Horse Guards authori ties to prevent the intro,:ucti, n of the newez,t and best kind 0 p,:cl; into the army. The plan recommended by the committee is, we ye, aii that could reasonably be expected ; and it is pretty well known that it has been most favourably reported Ilion by those regiments in which it has been tried. Front all we can learn, however, there appears to be a difficulty in adjusting it to the High land regiments, and Colonel Carter's knapsack is a favourite with one or thoac corps, the 92nd. Nothing could be more frank than the way in which Sir John Pakington expressed hints, If on the subject. By all means let trials be made of Colonel Carter's knapsack, or nay other, as well as that reccmistended by the committee, with a view to the adoption of that which proves to be the Lezt. —The Lcolcce. THE THREATEIVED CAB STRIKE. On Thursday night an open-air meeting was held in :umberland Market, Regent's Park, to adopt measures o put an end to the railway-privilege cab system. It vas announced to be a meeting of cab-drivers, but nly about a fourth of those present—some 4,000 )arsons —were connected with the cab interest. Mr. 3. Pearce, who took the chair, spoke strongly egainst the system, and said if the privileged men refused to bring their cabs to the railway sta tions they would be supported. If £l,OOO were wanted lext week it would be forthcoming, and £l,OOO would ::ome, if needed the week after that. Mr. Sawyer moved end Mr. Towell seconded the first resolution,:—" That on account of the inconsistent and unjust action of various railway companies of the metropolis in continuing the privileged-cab system, and as the prayer of the memo vials presented has Leen refused namely, that wary cab-driver who takes a fare to the railway station should be permitted to carry one from it —we, :,ho non-privileged cab-drivers, deem it our duty to resist by all legitimate means this oppressive monopoly ; and whatever inconvenience in this unfortu nate strife the public may suffer they will have to charge it upon the tyranny and exclusiveness of the several railway companies." The resolution was carried. Mr. sellers then moved and Mr. R. Evans seconded :—" That this meeting approves the means adopted for the pur pose of abolishing the railway-privilege system, and indertakes not to ply for hire at any railway station, Jr on any rank in the neighbourhood of a station, after a z.ertain date to be fixed at a general meeting of the trade." The resolution was carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr. Barnes, the last resolution was passed,—" That the cabdrivers earnestly solicit a generous public to assist them in their efforts to abolish the railway-privilege system, by refusing to employ privileged cabs." A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. THE GERMAN RIFLE FESTIVAL. The leading columns of the New Free Press of Vienna are filled with a festival song of greeting to the members of the German Rifle Association now assembled in Vienna by " Anastasius Grun" (Count Antony Alexander von Auersperg). The first festival of the association was held in Frankfort, under the auspices of the Duke of Coburg. The second was held in Bremen, and the third is now being held in Vienna. No fewer than 300 targets have been erected, and the sum laid out in preparation amounts to snore than £20,060. Members from all parts of Germany flocked to the festival-300 from Munich, 400 from Frankfort, 500 from Stuttgart], from 1,500 to 2,600 from Saxony, 10,000 from the Austrian provinces. Large contingents have come from Switzer land, Belgium, Alsace, Lorraine, &c., &c. The Germans of Alexandria have sent 1,000 florins to the committee, the German colony of Puerto Rico a sliver drinking horn. The Germans in Paris have got up a subscription for a prize to the rifle marksmen at Vienna. It consists of a silver cup with stand and cover, and weighs altogether 51bs. Two angels, one on each side, form the handles ; and on the surface between them is the inscription —on one side "The Germans in France to their brethren in Vienna," and on the other " For the 3rd German Federal Shooting Match, Paris, July 1868." At the banquet given to the riflemen, the Austrian Minister of the Interior, in reply to a toast by Mitter mayer, of Heidelberg, said : You have honoured by an enthusiastic toast the men who, honoured by the con fidence of the Emperor, and possessing the confidence of the people—(bravos) —arc now directing the Govern ment. These men have undertaken the task in the confidence that Austria, though severely tried, was cot yet dead--(loud cheers)—in the conviction that this great power was Lut ill from false maxims of government —(bravos)—in the conviction that Austria may become a giant if she has her arms free—those arms which have been tied by ignorance and unfortunate treaties. (Pro longed cheerio:.) They know that it is only by loosen ing these old fetters that she can put an end to the com pression of her intellectual and economic life, and they are persuaded that Austria can recover her strength on the free road of progress. As Austria is to-day, thanks to the Emperor, oue of the freest States in the world—(" true, true")—Austria will become, by the policy of progress which her Government is pursuing, that which you all desire. (Prolonged applause.) Assured of all your assent, I drink, therefore, to the future of Austria re newing her youth in the path of progress. (Enthusiastic cheers.) LAW AND POLICE. RISK ALLAH AND HIS DAMAGES IN THE RECENT LIBEL CASE.—At the Lord Mayor's Court, the Recorder gave judgment in an application which bad been made to discharge an order for attaching the £9OO which had been awarded Risk Allah in the action for libel against the pro pr;etois of the Daily Tehy.-apit new3paper. 'the plaintiffs were the City Offices Company (Limited), and it being averred C:at tie defendant, Risk Allah, was indebted to the company, it was sought to attach the amount of the damages in the hands of the garnishees, the proprietors of the paper. The defendant contended that this ought not to be done, as judgment had not been signed. The learned Recorder refused to make the order. THE MURDER OF A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. —After an examination which lasted the whole of the day, the grand jury returned a true bill against George Harris, who stands charged with the wilful murder of a commercial traveller, named Barnard Zusma.n, at Stirehley, on the 15th of Novem ber last. Since the committal of the accused additional evidence has been obtained. which will be forthcoming at the trial, which it is expected from the complicated nature of the evidence, will last at least two days. FORGING t POST OFFICE SAVINGS' BANK RECEIPT — Rosetta Birley was charged at the Manchester Assizes with forging a Post Office Savings Bank receipt for £35. In being called upon for her plea, the prisoner said that what she had done was done under the unfluence of her husband. Prisoner bad been lodging with a man who passed as her husband at the house of a woman named Mary Boucher, at IVaiham Greenwith. They disappeared from their lodgings, and at the same time a large amount of property was missed belonging to Miss Boucher, includ ing a post•ofiice savings bank book. Subsequently it was ascertained that the prisoner had presented the book at the Knot Mill Branch Bank, Manchester, and obtained the money on a forged order. Being found guilty the accused was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment. SHOOTING A TENANT AT SCARBOROUGH.—At the York Assizes, Thomas Lee was indicted for shooting at William Constantine with intent to murder him. The prisoner was landlord of some houses at Scarborough, one of which was inhabited by the prosecutor, who owed some arrears of rent. On the 4th May the prisoner threatened the pro secutor, and on the 30th rushed into his house and demanded the rent. A dispute ensued as to the repairs of the premises, and the prisoner cried out, " I'll settle you," and Constantine, being alarmed, rushed into the next apartment, but was quickly followed by the prisoner, who fired a pistol at his tenant, and severely wounded him. An alarm was at once given, and Lee was taken into ens ' tody, but not before he had endeavoured to put an end to his own existence. The jury found the accused guilty, and he was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. DAMAGES FOR SHOOTING A MAN. —At the same assizes an action was brought by the widow and children of the late George Bulmer for damages sustained by his death, which took place as alleged through the negligence of a youth, named Harris. The deceased was a master builder living at Middlesborough, and the defendant is a boy of about 19. One day last autumn the deceased, the defen dant, and four friends were engaged in pigeon shooting. The deceased, who was waiting for his gun, was standing behind the line of shooters, about 31t. or 41t. from them, and 3ft. or 4ft. from the.boundary fence of the field. A pigeon, which was slightly wounded, flew behind the shooters, and when it was quite in the rear the defendant fired at it, and in doing so shot the deceased through the head, causing instantaneous death. The defence was that the deceased contributed to the accident by standing where he did. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 22;.70. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE-FRAUD.—At Marylebine Police court, Henry Bedwell, described as the secretary to the Foreign Girls' Protection Sccicty, of 20, Pelham-crescent, Brompton, was brought up in custody charged with fraudulently obtaining possession of a horse and brougham from Richards and Co., Phenix-yard, Oxford -street. The prisoner, it appeared, went to Messrs. Richards and produced a prospectus of a society having the above head ing, and said he was to engage a horse and brougham, by order of the committee, for the l urpeses of the society. Since the hiring it was ascertained the society bad no and the pris,ner was given into custody. A second case was gone into where prisoner obtained five hair brindles, as he stated, for the girls in the " Htme." The prisoner pawned them the same day. As it is expected a number of cases will be bronght against hint, Mr. Mans field remanded him. THE BENI.LOCO-Zorc A nAps.—At the Southwark Police-court, Hadji Ali Ben labommed, the sheik of the Beni-Zoug-Zoug Arabs, performing at the Cry6tal Palace!, was summoned by two of the troupe, named II adj Abdallah and Mahommed Ben Ilmsein, for unlawfully detaining a quantity of wearing apparel and cos: uJi e 3, their property. The complainant had been engage,l with the rest of the troupe to come from Morocco to perform in London, nd their engagements having expired, they demanded their apparel, which the defendants refused to give up. The case was adjourned in order that the consul may attend. TN E SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1868. NEW' ZE !LAND. (From the Times' Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, June 8. The anxiety which was felt in anticipation of the result of the State trials at Hokitika has been en tirely relieved by the conviction of all the prisoners and the lenient sentences passed on them by Mr. Justice Richmond. It will be remembered that in March last the peace of the Hokitika district was seriously threatened by the organization of a fune ral procession, in sympathy with similar demon strations in England and Ireland shortly after the execution of the Manchester Fenians. The pro cession, on being denied admittance into the ceme tery, forcibly entered it, and erected a memorial cross. The Government, stimulated by the universal feeling of indignation with which everything approaching to Fenianism was re garded after the attack on Prince Alfred ae Syd ney, indicted seven of the ringleaders at Hoki tika, and suppressed an indatnmatßy newspaper, the Celt, by a criminal information against its pro prietor and editor, two of the above-mentioned seven. Great excitement was occasioned at llokitika by these proceedings, to quell which nearly 2,000 ' special constables were sworn in, 70 armed consta bulary were detached from native service in this island, and a company of the 18th Regiment from Auckland were stopped on their way only because it was calming down. Wellington or Nelson was at first spoken of as the place of trial ; but the Govern ment wisely put a bold front on the matter and left the law to take an uninterrupted course. The trial opened on the 18th ult., the Attorney-General prosecuting and Mr. Ireland, Q.C., of Melbourne, defending the whole of the prisoners, with the assistance of several local counsel. Mr. Ireland had been offered a thousand guinea fee, but as it was doubtful whether his engagements would per mit him to visit `New Zealand, Mr. Travers, of Wellington, bad conditionally been secured on a fee of £4OO, the highest ever yet paid in New Zealand. The prisoners were Clarke, Barrett, Melody, Her ron, Hannon, 'Manning, and the Rev. Father Lar kin, the two latter being connected with the Celt newsi-aper, as well as with the seditious procession. The indictment of 11 counts, and tie prosecution, in all its details, reflected the highest credit on the Attorney-General (Mr. Prendergast), while, in re ference to the defence, Judge Richmond remarked, in his summing up :—" 1 have read and studied the defences in the recent trials at Dublin to charges of the same nature, and I take it upon me to say that not one of those defences, powerful as they were, surpasses in force and subtlety that which has been made to-clay." The evi lence was, however, so clear that a ver dict of Guilty was recorded against the whole. A recommendation to mercy accompanied the verdict, and, on the prisoners expres,ing their contrition, the ju Ike gave full effect to it by passing what he himself styled the " ridiculously light" sentence of a fine of £2O each. Next day Father Larkin and Mr. Manning pleaded " Guilty" to the ch trge of uttering seditious language in the Celt, and, pro mising to behave better for the future, were Lt off with only a month's imprisonment. Throughout New Zealand the result has been highly approved by all classes, the law having been fully vindicated without arousing in the slightest degree that almost deathless condition into which Fenianism and every thing connected with it ha I sunk. The Governor is still engaged northward, bat is expected to return to Wellington thi, week. He has visited such of the native tribes as could be gathered together, but the power of the Governor's presence and speeches is not now what it used to be, and practically very little good can be accomplished by his progress through the native districts, and very little harm would result from the absence of it. Somewhere or other in the extreme north some natives are fighting out a private quarrel with other natives, but the few items of this kind which occasionally reach us generally pass through so many untrustworthy channels that nobody pays any hee ito them. The Governor's absence alone prevents the issue of the proclamation calling the Assembly together, but its meeting is fixed for the 9th of July. The Min'stry has materially suffered in numbers and poser daring the recess. The treasurer, Mr. Fitzherbert, is now the London agent for cuesolidatiog the loans ; Major Richardson bas accepted the permanent Spcakership of the Legisla tive Council; and Mr. Harris has, for private rea sons, resign:d both his seat in the Ministry and the legal office he held in connection with it. Mr. Hall, the Postmaster-General, has undertaken the additional duties of treasurer, fur the express pur pose of preparing a budge , , rather than. leave it to the crude ideas of any one newly appointed. Mr. Fox is to be elected in a few days for his old dis trict of Raugitikti, and general expectation points to him as the coming man ; but the mind of the Assembly is likely to be uncertain, and at present nothing is more speculative than the politics of the next few months. I notice that the first operation under the LDan Consolidation Acts emanating from any of the pro vinces has reference to the Gladstone loan of £50,000 negotiated for this province in 1856. The interest it bears is 8 per cent., and is redeemable on twelve months' notice. The G'uzette notification fixes the L.t of July, 1869, as the date on which the loan is to be paid off at the Colonial Treasury in Welling ton, holders having meanwhile the oppor.unity of exchanging them for 6 per Cent. Col mid Bonds, on such terms as the New Zealand agent in Lon don, Mr. Fitzherbert, may detertuine. By the Panama steamer of to-day the Roman Catholic Bishop of Wellington, Monseigneur Viard, takes his temporary departure for Rome. He was associated with the highly venerated Bishop Pom pallier iu missionary labour before these islands were colonised, and was consecrated first Bishop of Wellington in 185'). Oa S tturday afternoon a puLlic address was presented to him, the Superin tendent, Premier, and Judge especially remarking how zealously and effectually he had upheld the law when it became known to him that Father Larkin and others of his clergy were fomenting the late demonstrations at Hokitika. The introduction of salmon ova has been success fully accomplished, some of the fish by the Celes tial Queen having just been hatched in the province of Otago. Eleven boxes from the same vessel were forwarded to Canterbury, but it is feared that none would germinate. It is as yet doubtful whether the rivers of the North Island are cold enough for salmon, so that the experiments of ac c:imatization are confined at present to the south. The success of the Celestial Q teen's importation is in great measure owing to the care and interest which Mr. Frank Buckland bestowed in England on its preparation and packing. Unfortunately, the ship made a longer passage Clan was au:i cipated, or the result would have been still more satisfactory. _ _ _ The goldfields of Auckland have now become a permanent industry, continuing to be confined almost entirely to quartz crushing.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD MEETING-THURSDAY. The sport provided to-day was a great improvement upon that of either of the other days, independent of the iutereat attaching to the Cup, the card involved the decision of the llolacomb Stakes, to say nothing of the three Bentinck Memorials. Quite a sensation was created this morning when the cards were issued and the name of Bliukboolie was omitted from the list of competitors for the Cup. It was evident from the betting on Wednesday night that something was wrong with Mr. Chaplin's horse, those who had previously been his stanchest friends be traying a great anxiety to lay against him. The fact of his being scratched, however, did not transpire until this morning, but as soon as Mr. Chaplin found his colt had hit his leg in his box he ordered the pen to be put through his name, the time being half-past six. Blinkhoolie's withdrawal, of course, completely revolutionised the bet ting ; but before proceeding to a commentary on the day's sport a mention of some of the features of the Cup day may not be uninteresting. The weather, in strong con trast to that of yesterday, was delightfully fine, and, for the first- time this week, Trundlehill had occupants. The atmosphere was clear, and a gentle breeze had the effect of tempering the sun's rays. The lawn presented all the usual features of the Cup Day, and was graced by the presence of the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward of Saxe- Weimar, the Duke of Sutherland, and the distinguished company staying at " the house" and at Molecomb. The weather being so favourable to a display of fashion and beauty, there was no lack of it, the attendance under the trees being as large as ever, and the effect as beautiful as on any previous occ tsien, but it is a pity that the public will insist on so close a scrutiny of the distinguished visi tors, for whenever the Duke of Edinburgh left the Jockey Club Stand he was mobbed. It was an over display of loyalty, and, indeed, amounted to snobbishness. The Sweepstakes for colts, with which the racing commenced at half-past one o'clock, turned out the "good thing" it looked for the Duke of Beaufort, who with high odds betted on him, won iu a canter, and having won three races " off the reel," has brought Mr Brayley back the X5OO he gave for him, and a good surplus into the bargain. Vale Royal was made the favourite for the Racing Stakes, for which he was opposed by Bel Giorno and the Spy. Lord Stam ford's horse had a clear leal on entering into the straight, whore he ran rather wide, and the Spy came up, and, heading Vale Royal at the distance, won very cleverly. The defeat of Vale Re; al increased the number of Tabouret's friends for the Cup. Belladrum was made a warm favourite for the Molecomb Stakes, for which the chief of his opponents was Chatelherault ; but Mr. Merry's Derby colt had no difficulty in winning in a canter from the representative of the Heath House stable. A:though The Spy bad already a ra.:o in him, he was brought out for the Seventeenth Bentinck Memorial Stakes, and op posed by Sunstroke and Banditto, he won by a neck from the latter, after one of the closest races of the week. The Goodwood Cup only produced five runners, the absentees from the lot coloured being Satyr, Vale Royal, Knight of the Garter, and King Alfred. During the morning Julius became an immense favourite, and when a notice was posted in the ring that the Duke of Newcastle declared to win with him, he touched even money ; and so freely was Speculum backed that at the finish 5 to 4 was laid against Julius, 7 to 2 being taken about Speculum, and 4 to 1 about Tabouret. Suffolk, whom Morris had been sweating some five drys to rid e was invested upon at 8 to 1, as much as 100 to 8 being laid against Blueskin. The race is very easily described, as Speculum a nd Blueskin had the greater part of it to themelve3 throughout, furnishing a close struggle home, but Sp calurn stayed the longest, and won very cleverly by a neck. Tebouret, eN. hem Hudson had to ride all the way up the straight, was third. Julius showed some temper within the straight, but it did not interfere with his chance, and it is now evident that he has not returned to his form. Suffolk was beaten by Spe culum farther than h 3 was in the Darby, as he finished the absolute last to-day. Belladrum end Ryahworth fought their Stockbridge battle over again, and as their meeting was unexpected it created greater interest. They mot at level weights, and although Mr Merry's colt had a race in him already, he gall ape 1 so free y that he was again nude the favourite, and won very easily, overhauling Rysh worth at Deley's plensure, and, forging ahead, passed the post half a length in advance of Mr Savile's cult. After the race 1,000 to 150 was taken about Belladrum for the Derby, and 7 to 1 to a lot of money, whilst 1,000 to tio was wanted about Ryshworth. Nono of the other races require any special comment.

Tho Baron's colt, Suffolk, was the first to appear on the course almost simultaneously with the hafting of the numbers, Blueskin, Tabouret, Julius, and Speculum fol lowing in the order named, slight intervals elapsing be tween their appearanc Nothing worthy of note occurred in the canters, which were led by Speculum, Tabouret being next, Blueskin and Julia.; bringing up the rear. The five competitors being paraded in front of the Stand, Mr. fd`Georgo succeeded in despatching them at the first at tempt to an equitable start, at 3.40, ten minutes after the appointed hour. Suffolk and Blueskin were the first to shew in advance at a dreadfully slow pace, but on passing the Stand Morris pulled the Baron's colt into the rear,with Julius, Blueskin, and Speculum going on almost abreast, but wide of each other, clear of Tabouret till fairly beyond the enclosure, When the lead was assumed by the last mentioned, who, h iwever, had only a slight advantage of his horses till ascending th 3 fur the bend out of the st:aight, where Sp2culum and Blueskin raced past him, going on side by side three or four lengths in advance of the Tupgill horse, at whose heels lay Suffolk, Julius being on qui right of the Baron's colt. When about a mile of the journey had been a , ;eomplished Speculum took a clear lead of Blueskin, Saffolk going; up to Tabouret, Juliuf still bringing up the rear. No clump oc,iiirred till rounding'' the clump," wli )11 Suffolk ran into third place, dkappfariug from sight just in the rear of Blueskia ; Tabouret dropping into the rear. On reappearing Blue skin joined Speculum, the pair going on almost abreast of each other, clear of Suffolk, to the hill 1-aling to the straight, a little over a quarter of a mile from home, when Julius drew up to the Baron's colt. Speculum and Blue skin entered t.ie straight head and head, coining along at a rattlins pace some dis!anc i in advance of Suffolk. Before reaching the rai:s Speculum took a Flight lea I, and sinful taw ously-Suffolk was in difficulties, an .l was passed by Julius, wao exhibited some temper as they descended the hill. Approaching the distance Hudson was obliged to call upon Tabourer, bat the horse stuck gamely to his work, coming on soma distance in the rear. Tho race then became a match between Blueskin and Speculum. Maidment made the most resolute efforts with Blueskin from the commencement of the Stand enclosure, bat Specu lam, however, had the pace over him all the way, and Kenyon, riding with great patience and j udgmen t,won very cleverly by a neck. Tabouret, whom Hudson had ridden from the distance, was third, beaten a length from Blue skin ; whilst Julius was fourth, fully half a dozen lengths in rear of the Goodwood Stakes winner. Suffolk cantered in last of all, a long way off. Time, as taken by Benson's chronograph, 5 min. 1O seconds.

Al.- The Cincinnati Gazette gives a long account of a delightful day's sport on the Greenland race- - course, near Louisville. It might be supposed that racing was the amusement that attracted people to the course, but - the citizens of Louisville were above such sport. The trial of strength to which they only condescended was the life-struggle of savage animals, or those to be made savage by goading. Rats and coons had come to grief before it was the turn of a huge wild cat, fastened to a stake by a chain, at whom twa bull-dogs were one after the other set. On the finish of this refreshing tussle, though attended with exhaustive effects a 3 regarded the principals, a medium-sized black bear became connected with the stake by the chain, and proceeded to pat a bull-dog on the head which had flown to his embrace. After the dog had picked himself up and fastened on Bruin's throat, he was hugged and scalped with the bear's fore-paws and scraped by the hind claws, and at the end of ten minutes the dog was in a state that would be highly satisfactory to that cur-fancier Sir Richard Mayne. Indeed Bruin did the police work of Louisville as regards un-muzzled dogs, very quickly finishing off four to the intense delight of the spectators. But now came the grand sensation. John Bull, in the shape of the dog, in which he is supposed to take so much interest, had been disposed off, and the turn of "the Rebel" came next, who in the guise of a great bull was led into the interior of a ring and fastened to the stake by a rope 15 feet in length. The first bulldog very discreetly took fright an 1 mad) off, and the fate of his brother with more " pluck," but less discretion, showed hoi true had been the instinct of the animal regarding the effect, for Rebel caught him on his horns and sent him flying, then broke loose, but was again refastened by two very strong ropes. It is possible that the purveyors of the entertainment thought they could best utilise the wounded by finishing them off on Rebel, for the next they selected was the game dog which had been scalped, who went at the bull with a rush, and was tossed 30 or 40 feet into the air, if the Couerier is to be believed, and underwent the further pleasing sensation on his return of being stamped on. It was then deemed advisable to send in another, and Rebel kept them going as a conjuror does balls in the air, growing more furious every minute, till in one of his frantic rushes he broke loose, and darted into the midst of the crowd behind the ropes. Now came the turn of the good citizens, and their reasoning quickly le 1 them to the conclusion of the first dog and to follow his example. There was a frightful scare, in which the horses harnessed to the vehicles took part, smashing the carriages, and adding to the general confusion. The first thing Rebel got hold of was a box, on which a large number of people were state 1, whom he sprinkled over the crowd. Fortunately for the spectators the animal was caught by the horns in full career by the ropes stretched across the track,which brought him to his haunches, or it is probable that the bull would have stood victorious on the Greenland course, as he was in a humour for battle, and it is clear from their action that his tormentors were not. But the day was not destined to be one of unmixed triumph for i Rebel, though bred in Jefferson county, and well I known for his ferocious disposition, and his skill in dog-fighting. When entangled in the rope be was caught and made fast, and an English thorough bred slut belonging to Jack Brown, only weighing 191 b., took the throat hold, while another seized him by the nose. How the English slut held on may be gathered from the fact that she was awarded the prize as the most scientific of the dogs. 'While the fight thus furiously raged Rebel got his legs en tangled in the ropes, so his position might truly be called embarrassing : one bull-dog at his throat, another at his nose, and the ropes twisted about his feet. But to the end he maintained his attitude of defiance, and was eventually led off, to the relief of the crowd, as if the .honours of battle were thick upon him. The Round Table, in alluding to this scene, maintains that there has been little or to improvement in morals in some localities within the last century. It copies from Fearon ' s "Sketches of America," published in London 1818, the follow ing advertisement, which had appeared in New Orleans during the author's stay in that city :- " EXTRAORDINArty EXHIBITION. "On Sunday, the 9th inst., will be represented in the place where fireworks are generally exhibited, near the Circus, an extraordinary fight of furious animals. The place where the animals will fight is a rotunda of 160 feet in circumference, with a railing of 17 feet in height, and a circular gallery, well conditioned - and strong, inspected by the mayor and surveyors by him appointed. " Ist Fight.—A strong Attakapas bull attacked and sublued ley six of the strongest dogs of the country. " 2d Fight.—Six bull-dogs against a Canadian bear. " 3d Fight.—A beautiful tiger against a black bear. "4th Fight. —T we've dogs against a strong and furious Opelousas bull. " If the tiger is not vanquished in the fight with the bear, ho will be sent alone against the last bull, and if the latter conquers all his enemies, several pieces of fireworks will be placed on his back, which will produce a very entertaining amusement. "In the circus will be placed two manikins, which, not withstanding the efforts of the bulls to throw them down, will always rise again, whereby the animals will get furious. " Admittance, grown persons, ono dollar ; children, half-price" (p. 277). This even fifty years ago in England was given as a proof of brutality by a man wlio desired to fasten the stigm t of savagery on the people of that portion of the country, and the Round gable says that it is a fitting pennant to the scene at Green land. Does Kentucky desire to keep up and main tain its mournful and signific int title, " the dark and bloody ground ?" But if recent Lull-flights in France be truly reported, the leading nation of the Continent is setting an example as bad. EXPLOSION ON TM CORNISII COAST.--The Crew, six in numbor, of the brig Julia, Robinson, master, from Llanefly for Dieppe, havti arrived at No wguty in a boat.

The proceedings in connexion with the present year's show of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland terminated here this afternocu. The weather throughout the whole three days of. i.e meeting baying been most inviting for outdoor re creation, the attendance of spectators has been un usually great. Yesterday alone the admission money amounted to £BOO, while the total takings at the doors approach well on to £l,soo—a sunl about sufficient to pay all the society's expenses connected with the Exhibition. A ball in the Music-hall last right was attended by the elite of t'ie stranger members of the society and the residen6 of the city and northern counties A considerable amount of business was done bi the exhibitors of implements, but the number of stock which exchanged hands was not large. The special committee appointed to exanina the imple- Inents have selected some sixty articles from the immense. collection on the ground, with a view of practically testing their merits ; a double furrow plough, the invention of Messrs. Pixie, a local firm, said to do its work admirably with one pair of I ,orses, attracted a great deal of attention fro►► l machine makers and agriculturists. The arrange ments of Mr. Menzies, secretary of the society, and the local secretaries, Messrs. Ligert, 'Wood, and Yeats, have been very complete, and afforded g` 3. neral satisfaction. BIRHINGILI :11 CII,4.IIDER OF COMMERCE. The half-yearly meeting of this body was held yesterday afternoon. The following are extracts from the report. As to the County Counts Amend ment Act : "Your Council during the past half-year received a letter signed by more than 50 manufacturers, merchants, and factors, requesting efforts to be made to obtain a change in the above law, which at present renders it necessary to sue a debtor in the County Court of the district where he resides, thus placing the plaintiff in an unfavourable position. Should this cluing; after experience has fully shown the working of the Act, still seem desirable, your Council will renew efforts to get an alteration of the law in this rapect, and the next Session of Parliament may be expected to be more able to gips attention to .. commercial questions than the presen t has been. In relation to " Trades Unions and Strikes," it was said:— "It is impossible to deny the right of working men to combine for their own just interest. The part of wisdom is to do all that can be done by pe r " suasion and enlightenment to induce trade union ° , to keep their action withi n th e li m i ts o f f a i rnes s and justice, as the only conduct that can be permanently successful. • Your council considered that the stone" 63.50115' strike in this town, which began in Apri l last and unfortunately still continues, was a proper occasion to try if any good could be done toward s affecting a settlement between employers and their workmen by conciliation. In order to offer 8 Board of Conciliation that should be as unexceptionable as possible to the workme n is well as the masters, your Council ar" ranged with the Trades' Council of this 'tot ° that three deputies from their body should joie with three members of your Council in offering themselves as a Joint Committee of Conciliation between th parties in difference. The stonernas° l3 ,. ° on strike and the mast er b u ild ers were i nv i te d each to send three deputies to meet this joint committee in the council-room of your chamber. This off er was readily accepted. So me mee ti ngs wer e your Council regret to say without success hitherto, but as these meetings ma y p oss ibl y b e renewed' your Council abstain fro m f ur th er s t a t emen t. 'l i b's attempt was the more readily made by your Coen eil from the hope that it might open up the waY to some permanent Council of Conciliation to Whic h employers and their workmen m i g ht app l y in their differences b..fore resorting to actual hostility." In a subsequent paragraph, after the , advantages that would a r i se f rom an I n ternation al Monetary Union were pointed out, and as to t ll° purchase of the telegraph system by the Govern" went, this report said—" This will be a most iel; portant change, and one f rom w hi c h y our Col' ci expect great advantage in regularity of workil and greater extension of t e l egra phi c f ac ilities to n . parts of the country. Your C ounc il would a l t o hope that important reductio ns in char ,e will to made, but they cann o t h e lp avo id expressing a li a o opinion that the su m now proposed to buy out t rights and properties of the present emepallie 3 unfairly large, and it is likely that the interest ° this sum will prevent an ear l y re d uct i on t o thel° yr ~., rates for telegraphi ng th a t under • th e post-ot 0 ; management would p ro b a bly h ave o th erw ise soo t proved to be sufficient. Finally, in relation to the condition of trade:"' "Your Coun c il grea tly regre t th at t h ey are 10 317i0 4 to record any notable i m p rovemen t i n th e trade " d the town or country. If peri o d s o f con t ra ction a nd depression of trade a r e, as th e y b e li eve , but the natural and necessary conse quences o f danger° uo expansion and over speculatio n , w hi c h a re ali viao ' n found to precede them, then we should expect' de , looking back, to find that the long-continued 13 ,, pression which we still su ff er f rom was prece ded i d an equally great period of high speculation. ) 10 probably the memo r i e s o f a ll men o f b us i ne ss 1/ . 0 " , lead them to prono unce th a t we are b ut now sttliAjovi taming to a balance. If we wou ld take Nirt"de, from the past, an d avo id t h ese trying t i mes of us pression in futu re , we mus t prevent t h e previ° expression which causes them."
