The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 2,500 American and 300 Surat were taken for export. The market wag 'very animated and closed without alteration in prices. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to Bd. ; 50 Bahia at 61d. ; 600 Egyptian at 6-gd. to 9d., and 1,000 Surat at 3id. to 41d. per b. Railway Shares were flat at rather lower prices. The six weeks' average price of wheat is 455. Bd. per quarter, and the last week's sales are 90,736 quarters. _ _ - The accounts from St. Petersburgh would appear to be more favourably construed, as the speculators in tallow are manifesting some uneasiness. Prime yellow candle sorts are offering freely this morning for October and December delivery, with few buyers, at 51s. 3d. to 51s. 6d. per cwt. The accounts from New York represent the stock market as being quiet but steady. The , value of merchandise imported last month was 15,631,842 dols., against 10,030,354 dols. during the same month last year, showing an increase of more than GO per cent. The exports during the same period are valued at 8,825,122 dols., against 7,530,818 dols. in th e same month last year. Gold and silver entered to the extent of 4,418,537 dols., of which 18,633 dols. were in silver, 5,932 dols. in gold, and 4,393,972 dols. in gold dust. In June, last year, the total was 4,634,586 dols. The return for the month of the United States Mint shows the deposits of Californian gold to have been 4,473,000 dols., and from all other sources 60,000 d o l s . Sil ver bullion was deposited to the value of 678,000 dols. The gold coinage exceeded four and three quarter millions, more than one-half of which was in bars, and about one million in gold dollars and quarter eagles. The silver coinage was 650,000 dols., one-half of which was in half-dollars. The total coinage last month was 2,658,701 dols. 32 cents. The Funds have been depressed this morning, and there is again rather a fuller supply of stock. The speculators yesterday afternoon took further options to some amount, an influential party giving 1 3-16th for 100,000/.

Gurney, founder and president of the union, in e chair , supported by Mr. James Nisbet, Mr. Thomas t7'3l institution, who had assisted him in the work of forming e and many other gentlemen interested in ut he success of the undertaking. The proceedings having been opened with prayer, The CHAIRMAN remarked upon the success which had attended the operations of the society since its com mencement. Fifty years ago there were but 21,000 Scholars in all the Sunday schools, whereas the number had now increased to upwards of 140,000. There could be no doubt that great and important benefits had arisen from the proceedings of the union, and he trusted that its friends and promoters would continue in the good work they had hitherto so successfully carried on. The SECRETARY then read the report, which gave a general view of the objects and progress of the union, and stated that it had been proposed to erect a suitable building on freehold land for the purposes of the society at a cost of 10,0001., less than that sum not being suffi cient to effect the object in view. During the past few years the union had aided in the erection of new school rooms by granting 7,0001. for that purpose in various Parts of the c oun t r y. Th e un i on h a d o p ene d th e sc h oo ls toinfants, and had delivered the younger scholars from the drudgery formerly attendant upon the A B C sind elementary classes. It had also assisted in pro curing a cheap Bible for Sunday scholars, and had established the principle of a uniform Scripture lesson in Sunday schools. The scholars in debted to the uni on f or their lendin were libran.es la: t g h e e ly num ber of libraries granted up to the 31st March, 1853, being 2,75 ri o, the val ue o f wh * was 16,7621., but for which the at the publication price, sum of 5,58 71.

The Rev. G. SMITH, of Poplar, proposed, and the Rev. SAMUEL WARD, a negro minister from Canada, se . conded the first resolution, expressive of gratitude to Providence for the great blessings which had attended the proceedings of the society since its commencement. The resolution was adopted, and was succeeded by several others, having for their object the support and encouragement of the Sunday-school Union. The meeting then separated.

The following are the important resolutions adopted by this committee. It will be seen that Mr. Adderley bas introduced a bill into the House of Commons pro viding for one of the measures recommended —namely, reformatory schools. Every reformer should give Mr. Adderley his best help, and the Government must be strongly urged to deal with the entire subject. No single social question is more important than the check ing of crime by the reformation of young criminals. ResoiTed 1. That it is the opinion of this committee that a great amount of juvenile destitution, ignorance, vagrancy, and crime has long existed in this country, for which no adequate remedy has yet been provided. 2. That the existence of similar evils in France, Ger many, Switzerland, Belgium, and the United States has been met by vigorous efforts in those countries ; and, in the opinion of this committee, sound policy requires that this country should promptly adopt measures for the same purpose. 3. That it appears to this committee to be established by the evidence that a large proportion of the present aggregate of crime might be prevented, and thousands of miserable human beings, who have before them under our present system nothing but a hopeless career of wickedness and vice, might be converted into virtuous, honest, and industrious citizens, if due care were taken to rescue destitute, neglected, and criminal children from the dangers and temptations incident to their posi tion. 4. That a great proportion of the criminal children of this country, especially those convicted of first offences, appear rather to require systematic education, care, and industrial occupation than mere punishment. 5. That the common gaols and houses of correction do not generally provide suitable means for the educa tional or corrective treatment of young children, who ought, when guilty of crime, to be treated in a manner different from the ordinary punishments of adult criminals. 6. That various private reformatory establishments for young criminals have proved successful, but are not sure of permanent support ; and are deficient in legal control over the inmates. vv .... 7. That penal reformatory establishments ought to be instituted for the detention and correction of criminal children convicted before magistrates or courts of justice of serious offences. 8. That such penal reformatory establishments ought to be founded and supported entirely at the public cost, and to be under the care and inspection of the Govern ment. 9. That reformatory schools should be established for the education and correction of children convicted of minor offences. _ _ 10. That such reformatory schools should be founded and supported partially by local rates and partially by contributions from the state, and that power should be given for raising the necessary amount of local rates. 11. That power should be given to the government to contract with the managers of reformatory schools, founded and supported by voluntary contributions, for the care and maintenance of criminal children within such institutions. 12. That the delinquency of children, in consequence of which they may become subjects of penal or reforma tory discipline, ought not to relieve parents from their liability to maintain them. 13. That in any legislation upon this subject, it is es sential that power should be given, under such restric tions as may be necessary to prevent hardship or injustice, to recover from parents the whole or a portion of the cost of the maintenance of their children while detained in reformatory institutions. 14. That it is also essential that power should be given to detain children placed in such institutions so long as may be necessary for their reformation ; pro vided always that no child be so detained after the age of 16. 15. That the summary jurisdiction, with respect to criminal children, given to `magistrates by 10 and 11 Vict. c. 82, has had a beneficial tendency, as far as it has been exercised. IG. That, in addition to the discretion which is given by that statute to any court before which a child is charged with any minor offence to dismiss such child on sureties being foundA for its future good behaviour, a power should be given in such cases, in default of sure ties, to send the child to a reformatory school. 17. That if, during any child's detention in a reforma tory school, satisfactory sureties should be offered for its future good behaviour, there should be power to re lease such child from further detention. 18. That, irrespectively of the high moral considera tions which are involved in this subject, this committee desire to express their belief that, whatever may be the cost of such schools and establishments, they would be productive of great pecuniary saving, by the effect which they would have in diminishing the sources from which our criminal population is now constantly re cruited, and thereby reducing the great cost of the ad ministration of the criminal law. 19. That the education given in workhouses, although improved of late, has not been sufficiently directed to industrial training, which the committee deem to be of especial value, as affording the best means of enabling children to provide for themselves the means of independ ent support upon leaving the workhouse. 20. That it is essential for the future welfare of chil dren in workhouses that such arrangements should be made as will prevent the possibility of their intermixing with the adult classes, to the moral detriment of the children. 21. That from the expense attending the building of district schools, under 7 & 8 Viet., c. 101, but few unions have combined for the purpose of establishing such schools ; but where such schols have been es tablished, they have effected much good. 22. That it is expedient that greater facilities should be given to the guardians of different unions to combine for the purpose of establishing such district schools, and that the Government should be empowered to assist the unions willing to establish them by partially contri buting to the expense of the building. 23. That the ragged schools existing in England and Scotland, and recently introduced into Ireland, espe cially the ragged industrial feeding schools, at present supported by voluntary subscriptions, or, as in Glas gow, by local rates, have produced beneficial effects on the children of the most destitute classes of society in habiting large towns. 24. That voluntary contributions have been found inade quate to supply the number of such schools at present re quired in the metropolis, and other cities and towns • and therefore they should not be excluded from the aid of the national grant, under the distribution of the Committee of Council for Education, great care being necessary in framing the minutes applicable to this description of schools, so as not to fetter private exertions, or to exclude men eminently qualified to fill the laborious and diffi cult position of teachers by the requirement of too high an educational certificate. 25. That in any legislation which may take place on the subjects referred to this committee especial attention should be paid to the industrial part of the education of criminal and destitute children.

Z. ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.—The half-yearly general court of the members of this society was held yesterday at their office in Trafalgar-square. Mr. B. Hawes pre sided. The minutes of the proceedings of the committee for the last six months, which were read by the secretary stated that during that period in fifty cases which had come under their notice, 53 persons bad been rescued from drowning, of whom 49 had been successfully treated. Out of 142,000 bathers in the Serpentine during the season, there had been 17 accidents, in 16 of them the parties had been successfully treated, and in the other the person was drowned when discovered. Eight at tempts at suicide had been frustrated. The society's medal was awarded in the following cases :—To Mr. William Bencraft for raving the life of James Higson in the harbour of Singapore ; to John Jordan, for saving the life of Lieutenant Carpenter, R.A., in the St. Law rence, Montreal ; to Captain H. Grierson, 15th Regi ment, for saving a boy named Kelly, at Mullingar ; to James F. Miller, engineer, on board the Princess Alice steamer, for saving a foreign lady in Dover harbour ; to Lieutenant R. NV. Davies, 2d West India Regiment, for saving a private in the same regiment at Port Antonio, in Jamaica ; to G.

Real Simony, in the present day, would be the offering a bishop (a successor of the apostles) money to confer priests' orders, by imposition of hands , and saying, ac cording to the service for the ordering of priests—.

LITERATURE. Bleak House. No. XVII. By Charles Dickens. Our anticipations as to the character of the de nouement are being in almost every particular real ised—rather, perhaps, should we say our conjec tures, in regardto the nature of the plot, have already been in almost every instance verified. Bucket proves himself to be no greenhorn. Instead of this, indeed, the pink and pattern of detectives. He has shown himself, through all the bewildering intricacies of the incidents, just one too many for the assassinator of the old man of the name of Tulkinghorn. Everything apparent fixes the infamy of the crime on Lady Dedlock—and yet that fami liar demon, the fat forefinger of Mr. Bucket, be comes the index pointing in a quite opposite direc tion—pointing steadily to the shadowy form of another murderess—as steadily and inexorably as the hand of death or of fate—marking out the real criminal as with the sinister wand of an inflexible, inscrutable, passionless, unpitying, and impertur bable Rhadamanthus. Although we promised in our notice of the proceeding number that, accord ing to a shrewd guess, it appeared to us unlikely Boz would ever allow his model police detective to blunder so egregiously as to run on the trail of an innocent victim of malevolence, how ever strong the evidence might seem to be to the superficial—we will confess that we ourselves experienced something like surprise when—coming to that crowning point in the narrative—" after a suspense of a minute or two, the door slowly opens, and"—there enters (to be taken into custody by Mr. Bucket, in the presence of Sir Leicester)—not Lady Dedlock, but—a French woman—Mademoi selle Hortense ! As we suspected ! Even to a nicety. Hortense was all along mistrusted by Bucket. Hortense was the nameless lodger of that pattern detective. Hortense was the writer of the letters accusing Lady Dedlock of being the mur deress. Hortense, in fine, turns out to be the mid night assassin of the old man of the name of Tulk inghorn. At length we may hope, therefore, to get some clue to that still inscrutable mystery about Mademoiselle Hortense, once upon a time, at Ches ney-wold, walking through the wet grass in her stockings. May we still venture to surmise that her eccentric conduct in so doing was simply to register more firmly in her own mind her determination to be revenged on her haughty mistress ? Nothing could well be more admirable than the unravelment of the tangled thread of the narrative in the chapters last published. Their enthralling character might reasonably be anticapted from the mere titles of them—one " Springing a Mine"—another "Flight" —another " Pursuit"—headings at once suggestive and alluring, while they prepare the mind for divers dramatic disclosures. The mine sprung is under the feet, of course, e, of Mademoiselle Hortense, and the hand that springs it is that of Mr. Bucket. The Flight is that of Lady Dedlock, and the Pur suit is conducted by the übiquitous Detective, at the instigation of the haughty but forgiving and noble-spirited Sir Leicester. It must be obvious from these few particulars how much is ac complished by our author in the develop ment of history—another indication of which is apparent in the multiplicity of the characters introduced within this restricted instalment of the fiction. Besides the conspicuous personages al ready specified, we here observe grouped about the stage the bodily form of the young man of the name of Guppy, no less than the ghostly shadow of the old man of the name of Tulkinghorn ; we see the glorious " old girl" once more, triumphant on her returning townwards with Mr. George's mother, good Mistress Rouncewell ; we see that most ex cellent of ne'er-do-weels released from prison, fully exonerated from all share in the murder of Tulk inghorn ; we catch a glimpse of grandfather Small weed, of Mrs. Snagsby, of the Reverend Chadband, with his wife and his oil-mill—even too of Phil Squod and Mercury. It would have rejoiced us to encounter once again in these chapters the boister ous Boythorn, and the self-contained Skimpole— but in good time we may now hope to meet with them before the close of the story, and to learn more in so doing of cousin John, of Esther of Rick, of 4 ‘ my darling girl," of the J e llyby s and the Turvy drops, of Charley and of Peepy, of Miss Flite and Mr. Woodcourt ; and last, but not least, of the great case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce. Death has already snatched from us Jo, and Gridley, and. Nemo, and Tulkinghorn—but there are still re maining to lure us on through all the mazes of the plot, to its now rapidly approaching conclusion. Several exquisite passages adorn this seventeenth number of " Bleak House"—some of delightful hu mour, others of delicious pathos, and one or two of an interest quite absorbing. The interview between Mr. Bucket and Sir Leicester, for example, is ad mirably, and in parts most touchingly, described— as also between the broken-hearted baronet and his old housekeeper. Again—nothing could well be more purely and unaffectedly pathetic in its simpli city than the account of Mrs. Bagnet taking George's mother to him in the place of his impri sonment. During one of the most touching por tions of this description, we hear quite character istically, that " all this time the old girl, turned away, leans one arm against the whitened wall, leans her honest forehead upon it, wipes her eyes with her serviceable grey cloak, and quite enjoys herself, like the best of old girls as she is." Alto gether, the present number of " Bleak House" is a superb instalment. The Life and Death of Silas Barnstarke. By Talbot Gwynne, author of "The School for Fathers," Ar.c. Smith and Elder. This tale, like others of the author's, is a story of bygone days, the events taking place in the seven teenth century, in that stormy time so often the period chosen for fiction. But the present tale does not refer to public events, indeed it scarcely notices them, excepting as they affect the indivi duals of the story. Silas Barnstarke, the hero, and his brother Walter, are left orphans at the com mencement, and are brought up by their uncle, Sir John Lovell, a worthy country baronet. Silas re quesi at an early age that he may be educated for a merchant, and so attain his greatest wish, the regaining of some old family estates, which had been lost by the improvidence of his ancestors. He sets out in life with the one idea of making money, and being of a firm, resolute disposition, of good abilities, and a strong mind, he succeeds to the height of his ambition. But the demoralising prin ciple which he had adopted at the outset of life clings to him when all need for it has vanished. From making every good impulse subservient to it he soon had few to control, for he was never of a gene rous or elevated character. His father's will having been made before the birth of his brother, Silas is the only heir, and, overcome by his desire of wealth, he refuses to give Walter anything, leaving him a dependent on his uncle's bounty. He subsequently becomes a clergyman, and he is shown as a con trast to his brother throughout. To obtain posses sion of the much-coveted acres, Silas does not hesitate to direct the fury of the Puritans against the owner, and to take possession of his confiscated property. A long course of meanness and selfish ness leads him on step by step from his first avari cious tricks at school to his neglect of his brother, to his treacherous information against Sir Peter Markeham, to 'fill the catalogue of his misdeeds with the crime of murder. Being the next heir to his cousin, he murders him on a lonely com mon, to obtain his estates, in addition to his own vast wealth. But the hour of re tribution is at hand. The terrible avenger comes : the plague strikes the miser, and the murderer, and teaches him in the hour of death, by the agonies of remorse, by the sufferings of the pestilence, how little relief to the stricken body, how little consolation to the tortured soul, were those golden hoards and those vast estates—the dead sea-fruit of that " covetousness which is idolatry." A striking lesson is thus afforded, which, in this money-making age, is not altogether unnecessary. It shows how those who make wealth their first object, even should they begin in a just cause, are apt to be drawn into the whirlpool, and, when the need is past, love it and seek it for its sake alone, neglecting the calls of duty and charity, re fusing to hear the cry of distress, and slighting even their natural claimants if they will diminish those heaps of treasure which to preserve and in crease becomes almost insensibly their chief desire. Though few are so led away as Silas Barnstarke, and plunge themselves in actual outward c r i me, there are many whose hearts are hardened and best feelin gs war ped by this dangerous pa ss i on. The style of the author is already favourably k nown to the public, and the present tale will not diminish his reputation. A great number of secondary c haracters are introd uced, all w ell delineated, an d th e interest is sustained throughout by the vi cfour of the narrative and the variety of incident. The Church of England Quarterly Review. Th e first article in this review is on Mr. Layard's recent discoveries at Nineveh an d Babylon. It is followed by a criticism on a Fr enc h hi storical work, which , affords a very i n t eres ti ng p ni o n f a r nd the Popes." A e r" 1 Htohheen subjectst a writer on " University .Reform" d oes no t approve of the great changes which hav e b een proposed, and in defence of his opinions he asserts that the col leges of America, with all the systems of the world to choose from, are voluntarily recurring to the cultivation of the classical department of study. Another article on an important subject of general interest is " Elementary Ed uca ti on, " a su bj ect lvliichdem ands immediate attention, but which, like many others of equal importance, is beset with difficulties. The chief papers on theological points are a refutation of Mr. Allie's arguments on the primacy of St. Peter, and a notice of the fifth volume of the " History of the Reformation in Eng land, by Dr. Merle D'Aubigne." The Turks in - Europe. By Bayle St. John . ...... .. Chapm - an and Hall. The object of this work is somewhat doubtful. The Author, in the preface, expresses his convic tion that Europe will never be released from per petual and periodical negotiations and difficulties in the East until the Moslems have passed over into Asia, and an independent Christian govern ment established on the shores of the Bosphorus; but how this is to be brought about deponent sayeth not. The writer is decidedly predisposed against the Osmanli, whose political and social cha racter he describes in a manner which, although amusing and probably correct, leads the reader to form a very different opinion of the Turks from that which be may have heretofore entertained from the tourist's narrative. The descriptions of the education of the children, the habits of the women, and the costume of the people, all, although written with the pointedness of a critic, bear the stamp of truth; and to those whose only knowledge of the East is derived from the " Arabian Nights" we recommend this volume by way of an antidote to any false conception they may have formed of Oriental magnificence. x d x d RAILWAYS.

No striking incident marked the inauguration of the July gathering at Aintree. The sport was scanty, the attendance numerically insignificant, and the weather sultry and stormy. The proceedings commenced at 2 o'clock with the Croxteth Stakes, which brought out two competitors only—Longbow and Sir Eustace de Grey. Alonzo, however, was in the enclosure, but was not saddled. Longbow won easily by a head, but Tem pleman waited so long, and "drew it so fine," that the layers of the odds felt somewhat anxious until the num bers were displayed on the telegraph. The four " youngsters" that contested the Produce Sweepstakes, were particularly admired ; the Reel colt, and Sortie, however, attracted much attention ; the former is a well made, but somewhat flashy or " pea cocky" animal ; the latter is a fine slapping filly. In taking their preparatory canters, the Reel colt displayed much impatience, and once stumbled and nearly went down on his head. On the strength of a reported fa vourable trial with Dagobert and another, I believe the Cuckow filly, he was backed with much spirit and confidence, and his somewhat clever defeat disappointed his supporters, the result of the race, however, surprised both owner and trainer of the winner, who was not backed for 101. In Julian, Lord Eglinton has no Flying Dutchman. To me, however, Julian appeared to be short of work. He is a narrow looking animal, with a big ugly head. After he had passed the post, he did a little steeple chasing, carrying Marlow over the hurdles on the far side of the eourse in gallant style. An exciting race between Barrel and Stiletto, for the Mersey Stakes, ended in favour of the former by three quarters of a length. Ten competed for the Handicap Plate. Heiress dis played much restiveness at the post, and delayed the start. She once broke away, and once ran against a post and knocked off her jockey, who narrowly escaped without broken ribs, o r , w h a t once appeare d to bein evitable, a broken back. The poor lad was, however, much bruised. From start to finish the race was entirely between Osbaldeston and Calot ; the former making all the running, and winning by half a length. The Queen, notwithstanding her limited powers of endurance, achieved an easy victory for the Lancashire Oaks. Lady Margaret was last ! The Selling Stakes brought the sport to an ending post. Dear Me was the winner, and was sold by auc tion to Mr. E. R. Clark for 1351. Gold Dust got badly off, but, to the evident regret of her owner, she was claimed by Mr. Morris for the selling price (401.) and the amount of the stakes ! The claim was made under the new rule lately adopted at Newmarket. The last two races were ran amidst a terrible thunder storm ; the lightning was very fearful, and the rain descended in torrents. Lord Derby is entertaining a large and distinguished party of visitors at Knowsley House, where he is sojourning during the race week, for the first time since the death of his father. Friday's list presents an ample promise of interesting and attractive sport. It contains nine events, all of which •,re likely to be decided by the judge. I trust, therefore, that Mr. Topham will so fix " the order of running" as to enable the metropolitan visitors to leave Liverpool by the afternoon express train. For the Stanley Stakes, Barrel has incurred 51bs. penalty, but he may, nevertheless, be just capable of deafeating his opponents. Unless Auld Aquaintance be irreclaimably bad, her 71b. allowance ought to enable her to carry off the Grand Stand Stakes. In her de fault, Ann Eliza will perhaps do battle Valour-ously. The Bentinck Testimonial numbers twenty-six nomi nations, but as the handicap is not framed at the time I write, I am compelled to pass over the chances of the competitors without comment. The Bickerstaffe Stakes will doubtless be placed to the credit side of Lord Derby by either Hobby Horse or Umbriel. Should Brother to Mountain Deer figure among the competitors for the Great Lancashire Produce Sweep stakes, I shall be surprised if he sustain defeat. Of th• thirty-five horses entered for the Liverpool St. Leger, I shall select Lady Margaret and Vanderdecken to represent my interest. The running for the Licensed Victuallers' Plate will be so materially regulated by the result of the Derby Handicap and the Liverpool Cup tomorrow (Thursday), that it would be ridiculous at present to endeavour to calculate the comparative chances.

The following communication from the Lieutenant- General commanding was published in Division Orders last evening : " The corps at present encamped being about to separate, the Lieutenant-General commanding cannot but avail him self of the occasion to express his great satisfaction at the good conduct and discipline which have been maintained by them since they have been under his command. Although he had every reason to anticipate that the same example would be given by the distinguished regi ments composing the division that has always been shown by them in quarters, yet it could scarcely have been ex pected that so few instances of irregularity would have occurred among so large a number of troops for the first time encamped. " The results of the encampment must be, the Lieuten ant-General is persuaded, as highly gratifying to the offi cers commanding corps as to himself. "They have ascertained how well prepared their re spective regiments are to act with all arms, and on any service on which they may be employed. " The reports and observations which they have sub mitted in respect of improvements in arms and equip ments will, he is confident, contribute to increase the gene ral efficiency of the army and the individual comfort of the soldier. "The Lieutenant-General requests that Major-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge commanding the brigade of cavalry, Colonel Bentinck commanding the brigade of Guards, Major-General Sir De Lacy Evans com manding the Ist Brigade, and Major-General Fano, com manding the 2d Brigade of Infantry, and Colonel Bloom field, commanding the Royal Artillery, will accept his best thanks for the assistance he has received from them, and for their exertions in promoting the objects for which the troops are encamped. " Head Quarters, July 13." Detachments from the various regiments about to form the encampment reached Chobham yesterday. The officers in command will meet their respective corps upon their arrival this day, and conduct them to their quarters. _ _ The cavalry regiments and the Royal Artillery are expected to arrive on the ground about noon, the Foot Guards about 11 o'clock, the 19th Regiment about 3 p.m., the 79th Highlanders about 11, and the 88th about 3 o'clock. The various regiments will occupy the ground as fol. lows : CAVALRY BRIGADE. The Royal Horse Guards will take the ground of the Ist Life Guards. The 2d Dragoons that of the Carabineers. The 4th Light Dragoons that of the 13th Light Dra goons. The Bth Hussars that of the 17th Lancers. THE BRIGADE OF GUARDS Will occupy the same quarters as at present. IST INFANTRY BRIGADE.

THE ROYAL ARTILLERY Will occupy the same g;ounci:saTPresent. It appears, after all, that although Lord Seaton retains his command of the camp, the Brigadier-Generals are to undergo come change, with the exception of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. On this Subject the Lieutenant-General has received the following communi cation from the Horse Guards : " Horse Guards, July 12, f 1 5, 85 e 3 5t. day, I hv .er"3lY a L e r i l l now in command —Referringtomy memorandum to intimate to you that her Majesty has been pleased to approve of the following arr angement for the command of the several brigades of troops about to go into camp :—viz., Major-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will continue in command of the cavalry, which will consist of the Royal Horse Guards, the 2d Dragoons (the Queen's), the 4th Light Dragoons (the Royal Irish), and the Bth Hussars (the King's Royal Irish).

On Sunday night a disturbance occurred in the camp between some men belonging to the Guards and the 95th Regiment. The following in reference thereto appeared in the Division Orders last night : " A Court of Inquiry, consisting of a field officer and two captains of the Ist Brigade, will assemble at the mess tent of the 95th Regiment to-morrow morning, at eleven o'clock, to inquire into and report on, for the information of the Lieutenant-General commanding, the circumstances connected with a disturbance which took place on Sunday last between some men of the Guards and the 95th Regi ment. Officers commanding these corps w ill warn such witnesses to attend as they may think necessary. " By command, " R. B. WOOD, Lieut.-Col., A.A.G."

The head quarter guard w as relieved yesterd ay b y a detachment of the Ist Battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards. Captain the Hon. W. Coke is in command. at present. SCULLER'S RACE.—The scullers' ripe for 601., between Williams and Edwards, men belonging to the Custom house and Tower-stairs, took pl ace yesterday. and cre ated a great deal of excitement and interest amongst people east of London-b ri d ge. Betting was brisk at 5 to 4on Williams. The distance was from Putney to Mortlake, and the men started at seven in the evening very evenly, in which order they continued till Edwards took a slight lead, which he, however, in the nett half mile lost. After a very determined race Williams won by 50 or 60 yards. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE.—Upwards of a thou sand pounds' worth of plate, consisting of gold and sil ver services, has been stolen from T. Fish, Esq., of Sidmouth, Devonshire. It appears that the plate was sent down from London to Sidmouth, where Mr. Fish resides during the summer months, to await that gen tleman's arrival. On Thursday the whole of it was abstracted, the thieves having made clean off with their booty. The most active efforts are being made to dis cover the thieves, but they have not as yet been found out, trity , ;urea ;urea rn O f )ser , L ary/ that 3iOD 5 ;6 00 NVO' 11V u ses, Pea
