THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. AREEST OF MR. HUMPHREY BROWN, EX-M.P. FOR - _ TZWKESBUItY. The prompt and energetic steps taken by Messrs. Linklater and Hackwood, to whom the Attorney- General has intrusted the conduct of the prosecu tion of the directors and general manager of this bank, have led to the capture of Mr. Humphrey Brown. We learn that he is now in custody upon two warrants, by each of which he is required to put in bail for 4,0001., with two sureties for 2,0001. eac h. Sureties for 8,0001., besides his own recog nizances for 8,0001., will therefore be required be fore he is released. The Hon. John Stapleton, M.P. for Berwick, and the others who have been arrested have already given bail to a similar amount. Within a short time It is believed that all the parties implicated will be secured. Those who have not yet been apprehended are under strict surveillance abroad, and will be brought to this country as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. Three ex-officio informations have been filed at the Crown-office by the Attorney- General, but it is not expected that the trials will take place until next November, as the present term ends to-day. Sir Frederic Thesiger, assisted by Mr. Weisby and Mr. Joseph Brown, will lead for the Crown, unless the receut appointment of the Solicitor-General should interfere with that ar rangement. If so, it is supposed that the Attor ney-General would himself lead. Several of the leading counsel have teen retained for the di rectors, and among them Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Buddleston. It is not known who will have the honour of conducting the defence of Mr. Humphrey Brown. OUR NORTH-EASTERN COAST. We need not describe the character of the York shire coast. Mot people have been to Scarborough, Filey, or Whitby, or have seen prints of Fiam borough Head, and other parts of that stern sea-board. Durham and Northumberland are less universally known ; but Scott's border writings, and the old traditions of Bamberough and Dun stanborough Castles, and Tynemouth Priory, and yet more the heroic story of Grace Darling, most have given the untravelled world an impression of the formidable character of the whale coast-line. Those of our readers who have lingered beyond the bathing season in those districts, may remember observing the peculiar sensation which affects the residents when the year begins to break. 'As the autumn passes into winter, the dirges begin under which the popular heart quails. The rolling swell rouses the gloomy echoes of the caverns, and gives a tremulous feel to the everlasting rocks above, when they are trodden by the coast-guard or the daring fowler. The spray dashed up from the rocky arches which succeed one another, from headland to headland, may be seen with a glass from Yorkshire to Northumberland, when a gale is departing. At the first sound of the true wintry whistle of the wind and swirl of the sea, a sort of shiver passes through human frames, and the blood runs cold under the conception of the sights to be looked for. As the weather fouls, and the spray falls in flakes over gar dens a long way inland, and penetrates the best made windows which look seawards, scouts are out along the rocks and up on the galleries of the light houses, looking out for doomed vessels, or forming an opinion on the probable fate of colliers or other coasters which have recently sailed. The women and children who are awaiting that opinion can settle to no business. The children may go to the shore, but the wives of the absent cannot bear it. They could not look on while a vessel was driving in. It may be too like what their husbands, brothers, or fathers are undergoing under the same gale ; for there is no harbour of refuge between the Humber and the Forth. This is the miserable, the shameful, the almost incredible fact, as stated in the petition which the seamen of that coast are even now presenting to Parliament. Through the driving gloom—amidst the glimpses opened by the gale—one and another and another vessel is now seen, now lost, and then seen again, a tossed speck in the myrtle-green waters and spreading foam,—too often making for the port where multitudes are gathering in dread of seeing them come in. Frantic signals are made from the shore, and frantic efforts are seen to be made on board, to avoid the perils of either hand, and Lit the channel, disguised by the weather. Some get into harbour ; but it always happens that some do not. The most dreary spectacle of all is that of a succession of them following precisely the same road to destruction ; and it- is a spec tacle familiar to all residents in the ports whence this petition comes. Three or four ships fail to Let round a point, or to escape a current ; and while all yet looks much as it did - five minutes before, a cry of anguish bteaks out along the whole range of rock, and women wring their hands on the shore, and-turn away homewards. The vessels are edging towards the fatal precipice on the one hand, or the ruinous sands on the other, and the men are seen to take to the rigging. Then the life boats go out amidst cheers, and make for the vessels nearing the sands. One brig falls to pieces before the boat can reach her. A collier goes right over, with all her sails set, and is washed up so that her topsail first touches the shore. In such a case no men are found on board, unless some may still be c'inging to the bulwarks, under incessant ducking. A ship jammed under the precipice allows no chance of life but by the cradle overhead, and fearful is the transit in . mid air, amidst the tumult of the storm, the blind ing spray, the deafening roar, and the bitter cold. Rumour soon passes the numbers of the lost far in land ; whole crews—four, six, or eight men ; parts of crews—five out of seven, and so on ; scores of lives lost within view, and eaven only knows how many more between this spot and the Humber on the one hand, and the Fort on the other. There is no refuge between, nor any harbour which will serve distressed vessels at low water. When all is over the detestable last scene exasperates the sorrow and shame of the whole. Men, women, and boys are seen ascending the rocks, crossing the fields, troop ing along the sands laden with booty from the wrecks—sail-cloth, limber and spars, ropes, and whatever even children can carry. Looking to the statement of the case in figures, as given by the authorities on the spot, it appears that sometimes one-fourth, and frequently of late half the entire number of wrecks and lives lost on the coasts of the United Kingdom, is on the east or notth-east coast of E ng l an d . In 1852, a fourth of the whole occurred within a radius of 70 miles of the Tyne and Wear ; and in 1854, no less than 110 wrecks took place within that area. How is it pos sible that, on such a coast, supplying such a traffic from the groat coal-field and its com merc i a l opera tions, there should not be a single harbour of refuge between the Forth and the Humber ? The petitioners exhibit the am.mnts voted for the sup port of such harbours all round our islands, some of them in districts where the danger and the traffic are nothing in comparison with those of the coal region. It appears that the casualties and loss of lite are on the increase, out of all proportion to the simple expansion of commerce. There are more collisions, from the multiplication of vessels, and especially of steam-boats, and from the consequent greater thronging of the ocean paths. The insuffici ent supply of good native seamen causes an extensive employinent of foreigners, and introduces a new element danger in unintelligible language,- and new and etrange.methods and manners. Worst of all, perhaps, is the temptation to send outunseawor thy ships. This is the matter most vehemently corn-• • plaiued of by the petitioners ; and it is no doubt a grievous hardship that they must go to sea, on oc casion, in a leaky ship, or go to prison for refusing. On the other hand, the owners complain that the seamen are apt to be capricious e and take away the character of a vessel to excuse their being off their .bargain. Both parties being thus dissatisfied, i seems tolerably clear that some method of super vieion of vessels is the thing w anted—some am h,,rity reuse shall d ec id e w h en appear(' to, when yeas. Is to he .e-iseerthy. This is wliet the petitioners desire; and if their employers will l ei o ,.„ tta are sincere, they of the resent Merchant th demand - .

While the number qttrlethat foreigners are picked up, anti bad native s with, as the only way o f go e, - • • tine' vessels manned for sea, it is a fearf u l an d hinnblingr consideration that hundreds of seamen e neeclles!y lost every veinier,exroureFs:FiWre,hnthihdiezaatrhi-s_ i frsnn - pres .

In old times when We did not know all about bilge-water, salt-meat, and thi 3 ms _ chiefs of damp, dirt, and conficed space, maritiai e ' diseases were regarded as dispensations of p rovi _ deuce, and put tip with accordingly; whereas now, deaths from scurvy and ship fever produced in such ways would justly be regarded as manslaughter. In the same way it is too late now to charge Pr-vi deuce with the thousand deaths a year of seamen which. take place our our coasts from preveutible causes. Of old, the gale and the foundering at real were prayed against as modes of death appointed to be submitted to. Now, when we are actually - making harbours of refuge elsewhere, and when crews demand that vessels shall be examined and leaky ones condemned, men are as responsible for the larger proportion of deaths on our north eastern coast as they would be for intu-der by ship fever and scurvy from the old causes. Parliament must attend to this petition, and i t would be well that a larger public than the mari time one should support it. —Daily Nev.-s: MIIMMIIMINIMINIIIIMMI SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT-H EATH RACES. -THE CUP DAY. People who were determined to visit Ascot on the " Cup Day" felt no uneasiness when they heard that Wednesday had been wet and stormy, for they knew the Queen would be present, and experience taught them that by some fortunate chance fair weather always attends her Majesty's excursions abroad. No wonder was therefore excited by the propitious change in the skiey influences. Although the morning was an alternation of clouds and sun shine, yet the female faith was large, and a " store of ladies" in all their gay and variegated summer attire thronged the Waterloo station, and were con veyed in rapid succession to the Heath. The platform in London was made quite pic turesque by the many-coloured dresses of the ladies who promenaded it, and wbo, as they were not attending a "Drawing-room," bat only required seats in a railway carriage, ran no risk of having their dresses torn and toilettes disarranged owing to a crushing crowd for whose accommodation no provision had been made. Trains were despatched at frequent intervals, and from the excellent ar rangements confusion was avoided, and the excur sionists experienced little inconvenience or annoy anca. Still it must not be surmised that the ready facilities for reaching the Heath furnished by the railway diminished the glories of the road. Large numbers of people were conveyed by the Great Western route to Windsor, whence they posted through the park to Ascot ; while the relays of horses along the road from London, and the resus citated post-boys who were in attendance, reminded people of "the good old times." The Cup Day was, in fact, surpassingly success ful. The supply of sport was ample, the weather fine, and the attendance of company equalled that on the occasion of the visit of the late Emperor Nicholas of Russia. The space opposite the Grand Stand was thickly clustered over with carriages filled with ladies, while the lawn and balcony of the Grand Stand and the private stands, from the varied hues of ladies' dresses, glistened and flashed in the sunlight. By 1 o'clock the bell rung out for clearing the course, and about half an hour afterwards the Royal Standard was hoisted, and the stir and ex citem,nt among the spectators showed that the Queen was approaching. Soon the Royal cortege was seen slowly desceuding the bill and coming along the New Mile. It was preceded by the Earl of Beesborough and the Royal Huntsman, and, in fact, the procession was formed in the same order that we have so frequently described. Lord Pal merston, however, accompanied it on horseback, and wherever he was recognised the most lively in t:rest and cut i.isity were excited. Blink Bonny, the Derby and Oaks victre3s, opened the proceedings by cantering over for the 50 sovs Sweepstakes, and at the request of her Ma jesty the mare was afterwards walked round the enclosure iu front of the Queen's Stand, and was evidently regarded with much curiosity by the Royal visitors. The Gold Cup was run for at 3 o'clock. The inci dents which marked the race are fully described below. It was in favonr of Lord Zetland's Skir misher, who was ridden by Charlton ' the rider of slink Bonny forboth Derby and Oaks. Although the prize is designated the "Gold • Cup," yet it is in reality silver, and we are fain to confess that it is somewhat inferior to the race cups which have been contested for at Ascot in previous years. Just after the decision of the Visitors' Plate her Majesty and suite took their departure, and loud cheers attended their progress down the Course. The spectators also now began to move off, anti within an hour after the last race only a few strag glers and belated visitors were left with the police and the gipsies to enjoy the pleasant evening on the Heath. Among many other fashionable visitors were Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Duke of °Am bridge, the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of Mon trose' his Excellency the R uss i an A m b assa d or , Lord Wilton, Lord Londesborough, Lord A iles bury, Lord Enfield, Lord Drogheda, Lord Suffield, Lord S.

The horses were twice paraded round the enclo sure in front of the Royal stand before taking their preliminary canter ; and of erwards as they were proceeding to the starting-poat, Winkfield bolted for the gateway through which he is accustomed to enter the course daily. Bartholomew in stantly pulled him up, but iu doing so his stirrup leather broke, ' and he fell heavily to the ground. His hore was instantly stopped, and Bartholomew was only for the moment stunned. After a little delay he remounted and joined the horses at the starting p( st. Much anxiety and compassion were evinced for Bartholomew by-the zipeCtators, for it will be remembered that he was one of the most severely injured jockeys in the fear ful accident at Go,idwood last year. His second mount since thar occurrence was to-day. Mr. Hibburd lost no time in forming the horses in a line, and soon despatched them from the post. Chevalier d'lnilustrie, who was started to "serve" Rogerthorpe, immediately rushed to the front,with Saunterer " pulling double" second, and these two showed the way past the stand, Pretty Boy going on third, Skirmisher fourth, Tasmania fifth, War- dermarske and .Leamington next, Rogenhorpo bringing up the rear. After rounding the top turn Chevalier d'lndustrie increased his lead upwards of 20 lengths, Saunterer being second, with Skir mi-hei about a couple of lengths behind him, Pr etty Boy and Tasmania ru n ning abreast next, Warlock being last but one, and Gemma di Vergy last. In this order they disappeared behind the hill, and on Coming into . sight Chevalier d'lndustrie was still seen with the lead and Saunterer second, Pole Star having drawn into the third place, with Skirmisher fourth, clear of his liorses, Gemma di Vergy head ing the nick, \Varlock being " whipper in." As they rounded the turn by the brick-kilns Skir misher began to creep forward, and soon joined Saunterer, and these two were now in close corn tyany witti Chevalier d'lndustrie. On entering the straight the Chevalier had completed his Work and .dropped back, leaving Saunterer with a slight lead, Skinalisher taking second= place, with Pole Star and GemmidiVergy in close attendancb. They ran thus to the half -distance, where Skirmisher herded Saunterer. Opposite the Graild Stand Gemma di Verily passed Pole Star, caught Saun terer within a few strides of t he c h a i r, but! failed to reach Skirmisher, who won easily by' a length an d a h a lf ; a head only separated tbe second dividing the thi r d f rom frp , rn the third, two lengths riiE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JIUNE l2, 18571 the fourth; Rogertliorpe and' Chevalier d'lndustrie passed- the-post,-side-by side; -- fiftirand-sixth, about six lengths behind Polestar; Tasmania was seventh, Warlock eighth, Winkfield ninth, Wardermarske tenth, and Leamington eleventh.

Valentine Baker, of the 10th Hussars, by selling him a false card of the Ascot races. 12,477 58,790 16,703 Captain Baker stated that a little before twelve o'clock that morning he was driving in his carriage to the Waterloo Station, on his way to Ascot, t,) attend the races, when the prisoner accosted him, asking him to buy a card of the races. He bought one, and paid the prisoner ls. for it. He went on a little way, and then, looking at the card, disco vered that it was one of last year's, the date having been altered. Upon this be went back, and as soon as the prisoner caught sight of him he ran away. He followed and caught him, and gave him in charge. A number of similar cards, altered in the same way, were found upon him. Another gentle man came up, and stated that he had been defrauded in the same way, but he did not give his name. The prisoner mid be was not aware that the cards bad been altered, Mr. Jardine observed that this was a scandalous fraud, and one which the prisoner probably expected to commit with impunity, as it might be supposed that persons in a hurry to the station to go to the races would not come back to complain of it, even if they discovered it, before entering the train.

The complainant said her husband sometimes played upon the violin and sometimes went to sea, and that when ho was on shore ho was continually beating her. About six weeks ago her husband struck her on the head with a chair, and knocked her about. He had beaten and kicked her repeat edly. On Wednesday night she was seated outside her door in Russell-court, St. George's-in-the-East, when her husband came home and kicked her about the face and body. She was anxious her husband should not be punished, but only that he should be bound over t.) keep the peace towards her, and not ill-use her. A policeman confirmed the wife's statement, and gave the prisoner a bad character. The prisoner, i❑ defence, said that he was inno cent of the charge, and that his wife was an habi tual drunkard, in the practice of pawning and sell ing his furuiture, linen, and wearing apparel, and also his children's clothe?. He called a man named Denis Murphy, who said that he had lived in the same house as the prisoner for three weeks, and always found him to be a very quiet inofiensin. man. He believed the wife had been taking an extra drop lately. Mrs. Norton solemnly denied the truth of the prisoner's statement. Mr. Selfe believed what the woman said, more particularly as she wished to shield her husband from punishment. He had no doubt the prisoner kicked his wife iu the face on Wednesday night, and for that assault he sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. and Co. .........................

While watching one evening for the appearance of the tenants. he observed a brace of wild ducks floating on the loch ; in ,a little while a fox was seen approaching the water side with cautious steps ; on reaching it he picked up . a bunch of heather and placed it in his mouth, so as to cover his head ; then slipping into the water,. and immersing all but his nose, be floated slowly and quietly down to where the birds were quacking out delight in fancied security, seeing nothing near them but a bunch of weed. In due time he neared the ducks, dropped the heather, and substituted a bird, with which he returned to the lochside and was making of to his young with the prize , when the keeper, who had noted all his movements, closed them by the discharge of his double-barrel.
