TLIE INDIAN MASSACRES. LIVERPOOL. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool was held in the Sessions House, Chapel-Street, yes terday afternoon, having been convened by the Mayor (Mr. F. Shand) in answer to a numerously sign( d equisition, - for the pu r p ose of ex p ressin g " sympathy with the unhappy sufferers in the truly distressing events that have occurred in India to many of our fellow coun tr y men, their wives and families ; and of taking such measures as may be deemed best to aid in relieving the urgent and pressing slants of many who are left totally desti tute." The chair was occupied by the Mayor, and among those present were Mr. W. Brown, M.P., Mr. C. Turner, chairman of the Dock Committee and President of the East India and China Asso ciation ; Mr. T. B. Barclay, Mr. W. Rathbone, Mr. T. D. Anderson, Mr. Woodruff, seniorchurch werden, Mr. G. Greant, Mr. Cama (Parsee mer chant), Mr. G. Melly ? Mr. T. M. Mackay, of the thin of James Baines rand Co., owners of the Black Ball line of clippers ? Archdeacon Jones, Dr. M' Neil, the Revs. T. C. Cowan, Lomas, of Walton.Brec.k, S. B. Sutton, Warr, of St. Sa viour's, several Dissentingtministers, Letters were road from es number of gentlemen enclosing various contributfons, one from Messrs. Arthur Heywood and Sons fcr 1001., Mrs. Pember ton Heywood 251., the Rev. Mr. Lomas, as the result of a collection of his church, 351. 4s. 6d. &c. The MAYOR, in introducing the object of the meeting, expressed his belief thast the intelligence which was published in the papers of that morning was of a re-assuring character, far although they did not hear of any great event haring taken place, yet, what was of great moment, Gen. Havelock had effectually repulsed the rebels and was making rapid progress to Lucknow. Though Delhi had not yet fallen, that consummation be believed was only postponed until our troops, by being greatly strengthened, would the mote readily be enabled to secure the tigers within the walls e.f Delhi and punish them as they deserved. In conclusion, he announced his own subscription, as mayor, at 25 , and that of his firm, C. W. and F. Shand, 1001. Mr. W. BROWN, M.P., in moving the first reso lution, thought they must all feel extreme re g ret that it had been necessary for the chief magistrate to call them together upon such a melancholy occa sion and when interests of so much importance were involved. Who could read the despatches that were being received from India without de ploring the sufferings of our officers and men, their wives and families 1 It was true that the East India Cenipany might be able to extend to them some temporary relief, but that he apprehended would he very inadequate to the demands upon them of those who from positions of comparative comfort were thrown into absolute destitution, and it remained for the British public to relieve them from that unhappy situation. They found, arriving at Calcutta, officers who had lost their wives, wives who had lost their families, mothers who had lost their children, and children who had lost their parents by the treachery of those scoundrels—it was impossible to designate them by rename too severe—who had not only sacrificed helpless women and children, but who had betrayed their trust at the seine moment murdering their officers to whom they had promised protection. It was only neces sary to refer to the columns of the London daily papers t have their souls harrowed by the distress ing ec.:nes which had occurred in India. It remained with them, to the utmost of their power, to relieve those distressed persons, giving them some little sustenance and comfort after the terrible privations they had undergone. (Cheers.) We were exceed ingly fortunate in having in the Anglo-Saxon race, soldiers and sailors who feared no dangers,—soldiers so dauntless and irresistible that hitherto they had carried everything before them. Only that morn ing they had intelligence of the defeat of one of the most villainous rebels in the whole of India. The conquering force was on its march for the relief of Lucknow, the brave defenders of which place were worthy of their warmest thanks. For the future the continued arrival of troops in India gave them cause for the best hopes ; but, in the meantime, the feeling of this country would support the Go vernment in its endeavours to send out not merely sufficient troops to quell the rebell . oo but to over whelm all opposition. (Che ers .) Mr.? Brown con cluded by moving the following resolution : " Twat this meeting is moved with sorrow and indig nation at the atrocities which the mutineers in India have inflicted on so many of her Majesty's subjects, those savages not sparing helpless women and children ; and this meeting deeply sympathises with the sufferers, and cannot doubt that the inhabitants of Liverpool will give practical expression to their feelings by raising a large fund lot the relief of the numerous sufferers, many of whnin are left totally destitute." Mr. T. M. MACKAY, of the firm of James Baines and Co., seconded the resolution, which was unani mously adopted. The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE, in moving the second proposition, narrated facts bearing upon the suffer ings of Europeans in India. Some of these were in connexion with his own son, who was captain of the st:i Native Bengal Infantry. His regiment mutinied, but, thank God, his life was not sacri ficed. His wife, who had been staying with him at Untbsllab, was ob:iged to fly, and, according to the last accounts, she and a number of other fugi tives were crowded together in a miserable room at Kussowlee, with no separate apartment to retire to, but compelled to perform all the details of social life in that crowded, miserable place. He had that morning heard one cheering and refreshing fact among much that was harrowing and distressing. A friend had received intelligence from Calcutta to the effect that Mrs. Colvin, the banker's wife, and Lady Canning were working in Calcutta, just as Miss Nightingale did in the Crimea, administering with their own hands to the necessities of the ladies and gentlemen as they were brought in from the river. (Cheers.) With respect to this relief fund, they should bear in mind that many sufferers had come, oe were on their way to England, where they would arrive in th© most severe destitution. He thought, therefore, to meet these cases, there should be a reserve fund in England, and with these views he would move— " That a committee be now appointed to collect do. nations and appropriate them in way that in their judgment will best carry out the intention of this meet ing, nut "ming sight of the fact that sufferers have arrived I,nd are now arriving who may require imme diate relief as well as those in India." Mr. J. J. STITT seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. The Archdeacon JONES, in moving the next rt.s , lution, denied that the revolt could in any degree be attributed to the missionaries in India, and mentioned that be had a dear son before Delhi. He moved,— _ " net the requi s iti on i s t s an d th e a ld ermen of the borou g h form the committee, with power to add to their number." Mr. W. RATIIBONE, in seconding the motion, thought that the Rev. Archdeacon Jones bad mis understood the press, no accusation, he believed, having lyien made against the missionaries. He (Mr. It - athbone) was, however, convinced that a groat •s:u lay at our door, as well as at the door of otha.. 4 ; and he wished it to be remembered that soir.e of our military men, and others engaged in tb e cavil service in India, had been the cause of a great deal of the ill•fealing which had brought this about. He did nut want to be told that our c,untrywomen had suffered wrongs worge than death a thousand times, and he did not Want to mitigate their feelings in that respect ; but he did believe that the treatment of native wr.r.en IT some of those to whom he had referred hail h en one cause of the strong feeling' which had trianifented itself in the Indian atrocities. He trusted that we should lay that deeply to heart. The resolution was then put and carried, and a vote of thanks to the Mayor terminated the pro cot dings. '•.ibscriptions to the amount of about 1,400/. were cagii.liect:l before the meeting separated. This aii , t included th e f o ll ow i ng :—Brows, Shipley, ' anal ) ( -0. ! 100/ . C. W. and F.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY E' , EINIING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1857 plements 37 eP..ch, respectively by Lieuta. Berkeley and J. Murr.ay. These are all now being fitted out for foreign, service, and are picking up their men as fast as they can induce them to enter the service. The supply, however, from ships paid off during the month has been been scanty, for only one, the Gorgon, 6, paddle, complement 165, was put out of commission in August ; but there are great ex pectations from the crews of the Orion, 90, screw, complement, 850 ; Curacoa, 30, screw, complement 320 ; Trincomalee, 24, complement 240 ' • and Pro metheus, 5, paddle, complement 100. There ate, however, the Ganges, 84 ; Chesapeake, 51 ; and one or two others, commissioned in July, to be manned, as well as the six vessels before named. In the home establishment, 30 supernumeraries have been added to Capt. Pelham's screw steam guard ship at Portsmouth, the Blenheim, and Cap tain Harris's training ship at Portsmouth, the Il lustrious, 20, has a complement of 130, instead of 92. There has been a small increase in the coast guard ships. The complements have been slightly reduced, but a dozen supernumeraries to the small guard ships and 15 to the large ships have been given, the increase being about 100 men altogether. The Mediterranean force is the smallest at the present moment that was ever known to be sta tioned within its limits. At the present time there are actually on three line of-battle ships on the sta tion ; the fourth, the Conqueror, 101, screw, Capt. H. R. Yelverton, was most injudiciously sent to England with troops, but is now on her way back to rejoin Lord Lyons. With the exception of the flag ship Royal Albert, 121, screw ; Princess Royal, 91, screw ; and Centurion, 80, screw, there is not a man of war on this vast and important station, from Gibraltar to the Danube, mounting more than nine guns. It is just a senior captain's squadron instead of an admiral's command. Dur ing August the force was further weakened by sending home the Curacoa, 30, screw, Captain Forbes, and the Arrow, 4, screw, Commander Henderson ; and two other pendants, Boxer, screw gun boat, and Supply, screw store ship, Master Commander Balliston, aro ordered home. The force there altogether musters only 21 pendants, 372 guns, and 4,240 men. In the North American and West India stations the Brunswick, 80, screw, from the Mediterranean, has replaced the Orion, 91, Capt. J. E. Erskine ' the latter having arrived in Englund to be paid off. Commodore Kellett, C. 8., has gone to the old broad pendant stationary ship at Port Royal, the Imaum, and has sent the Termagant, 25, screw, to England (arrived last week) ; and the Falcon, 17, screw, Commander H. Campion, has also come home, and has been paid off. The screw floating battery Terror, 16, has gone to Bermuda to take Capt. Hutton's pendant and the 80-horse power screw gun boats, 41 men each. Jaseur, 1, Liea s . Commander J. B. Scott, and Jasper, 1, L'eut. Commander W. H. Pym, have taken their depar ture from England for service on this station ; the Devastation, 6, paddle, Commander Marshall, has likewise proceeded to the West Indies. Thus the force has been somewhat increased-3 pendants, 7 guns, 130 men. None of the ships ordered home from China, the East Indies, or Australia, have arrived, but the Pylades, 21, screw, complement 260, Capt. Michael De Courcy ; Roebuck, 5, screw, Commander Mar tin ' • Assurance, 4, screw, 90, Commander Aynsley ; and Sparrowhawk, 4, screw, Commander J. C. Byng, have been dispatched to China. Shutting out of the list the Raleigh, 50 ; the screw troop ship Transit; and the hired steamer Sir C. Forbes, w e have a total of 62 pendants, 644 guns, and above 9,300 men in the China seas or en route, exclusive of the six men of war, 148 guns, and 1,470 men ordered home. We believe that tear-Admiral the Hon. 11. Koppel, C. 8., is not officially placed in the China forces for September. Capt. Forsyth is to be superseded in the Hornet, 17, by Comman der M'Dowell, and Capt. Corbett, in command of the Inflexible, 6, paddle, by Commander Brooker, both on promotion. At the Cape the Boscawen, 70, Captain Powell, C. 8., for the flag of the commander in chief, Rear Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey, K. C. 8., has arrived by this time ; but only one of the three vessels ordered home has arrived, and the Dart, 3, brigantine. The Castor, 36, Captain Lyster, is en route, but the Penelope, 16, Capt. Sir W. Wise man, Bart., is to go to the East Indies, with troops if required, and likewise the Megasra, screw troop- ship. On the west coast of Africa, now a part of the Cape command, Commodore Wise, in the Yesuvius, 6, paddle, has succeeded Commodore Adams in the Scourge, 6, paddle, ordered home. By th, last accpunts, however, the Scourge had arrivo'l at the Cape, and it wasstated there that the Scourge would go to the East Indies. Doubtless the ad miral would send her there with troops, if he could get no other vessels, just as he has the di rection of sending the Penelope. The only other vessel ordered home from the coast of Africa station, the Prometheus, 5, paddle, Commander Hope, has arrived in England, and wll ,be paid off next week. At the Brazils, by latest accounts, the comman der-in-chief, now • Vice-Admiral Wallis, in the Cumberland, 70, Capt. J. B. Dickson, had not suc ceeded Rear-Admiral Hope Johnstone in the In defatigable, 50, Capt. T. Hope. The Rifleman, 8, screw, _Lieut. Commander Christian, however, has arrived in England, and will be paid off next week, and by this time the Indefatigable is on her way home. Another commander-in-chief will now be appointed, for it is absurd to have a vice-admiral commanding-in-chief half-a-dozen sea-going sloops and brigantines. In the Pacific,. the Satellite, 21, screw, Comman der Prevost, having relieved the Trincomalee, 24, Capt. Houston, that ship has arrived in England, and will be paid off next week.

ELECTION EXPENSES. —The expenses of the last elec• Lion at Knaresborough have been published by Mr. S. Powell, jun., the auditor. It appears the bill of Mr. Basil Woodd amounted to 1021. 18s. 103., and that of Thomas Collins to 38/. 84. 31. The expenses of Mr. Robert Campbell, the unsueoeseful candidate, were 18?. THE LATE MURDER AT LEIGH WOODS, NEAR CLIFTON. On Sunday even;rig the pocket which had been cut from the dress of the deceased woman was found thrown over a wall in the park of Mr. J. H. Gre vile Smyth, of Ashton. There was nothing in it but a stone. Some additional light has been thrown on the statement made by Mrs. Bowdon, which appeared in The Sun, yesterday. It has been ascertained that a vessel named the Express is due froli Quebec at Appledore, but the name of the captain does not correspond with the initials, " C. P.," found on the linen of the deceased, being Johanssen. The city police have also ascertained that a wo.nau answer ing the description of the deceased, accompanied by a young sailor, arrived in Bristol on Thursday night by the night train from the north, and that they lodged for the night at the Bacchus tavern, near the railway station. They left early the next morning, and have not since returned. Mr. Peters, the shipping master of Bristol, states that a sailor came to his office on Saturday and offered to ship on board a vessel for which a crew was making up. Finding that he had no discharge, Mr. Peters re fused to take the man, but he remained in the office, and seemed very anxious to be engaged. When the crew had been completed, with the ex ception of one man, this sailor again came forward and volunteered to serve without the usual advance. On these terms, which are said to ba almost with out precedent, the services of the man were ac cepted, and he was shipped. The vessel, however, has not yet left the port, so that the man can be readily produced, if necessary. Yesterday a photograph of the deceased was taken, in the hope that it may assist in her identifi cation ; but, having been deferred so long, it is hardly likely to be of much service, the features be ing greatly discoloured and disfigured. The inquest commenced yesterday afternoon be fore Mr. B. Fry, who, in opening the proceedings, complained of the dilatory process adopted by the police in forwarding him information of the occur rence. He hoped that on any similar occasion the overseer of the parish or the police would do him the favour to forward a special messenger instead of sending on the information from hand to hand, by which, as in this instance, the news of the event did not reach him till the middle of Saturday, and had prevented him from commencing the inquiry before to-day. _ _ The jury having viewed the body, the following evidence was adduced : G. Wort, gamekeeper to Mr. W. Miles, M.P., said—On Friday last I was going my rounds in Leigh-woods, and found the body of a woman about 30 years of age, quite dead. This was about a quar ter to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I had passed the spot the day before between 9 and 11 o'clock in the morning, and am positive the body was not there at that time. The body now lying at this house is the one I discovered in Leigh-woods. •My attention. was first attracted by seeing some blood on the ground, which had been partially covered over with dirt. I then saw a handkerchief near the spot, which was dyed in blood. (The handkerchief produced by Superintendent Jones had been washed by him, and bore the initials "C. P."). I cannot say that this is the same handkerchief. I left the one I found in the coa,ch-house, where the body of the deceased was firs; taken. I did not see the po lice-officer take possession of it. I looked over the ground and saw fingermarks, as though some per son had gathered up the earth with which to cover up the blood. I then thought these had been foul play, and on further searching I noticed footmarks with a bread heel, bat no nails near the spot. They were evidently those of a man. On looking over the rock, haying suspicion that some one had been murdered, I saw the body of deceased lying on her back in the quarry below. I ran away frightened as soon as I saw it. I went and told J. Sage, a man who lived near, what I had seen, and then commu nicated with Mr. Jones, superintendent of the Ashton police. I went back with him and pointed out the body to him. This was about half•past 7in the evening. I should think the body had not been killed that clay. I should say she had not been dead more than 24 hours. The body was lying down about 12 feet under the rock. When I saw it the se cond time there ware " flyblown" in the eyes and nostrils. The throat had been cut. The hands were cold and stiff. After the body had been got I noticed a hole on the right side of the head, which appeared to me to have been made by a bullet. I assisted in conveying the body to the Rownham Inn, where it was taken charge of, with the hand kerchief and boots of the deceased, by the police. I took off the boots. The body was lying quite straight, and the clothes were not disordered at all. I did not hear the report of a pistol that evening. The hair of deceased was dishevelled. The hand kerchief was saturated with coagulated Mood. I did not see any bonnet, shawl, mantle, or cap near the body, and have not succeeded in finding any since. The boots were removed to see if they cor responded with the marks, but they did not. By a Juror—There were no rings on either of the fingers. There was a little blood on them. Edward 'Tone., superintendent of the Ashton police, deposed to the receipt of intelligence from the last witness about the time stated by him on Friday evening, and to the subsequent finding and removal of the body. He also confirmed the evi deuce of Wort as to, the state of the body and the appearance of ,the ground near the spot. In the opinion of this. witness the body was not either stiff or quite cold when. be first saw it, and on its being lifted up a quantity of blood flowed from the wound on the neck, and some of the blood on the arms and sleeves of the dress was still wet. The witness iden tified the handkerchief and boots as those of the deceased ; the former was marked with the initials "C. P.," in red cotton ; and on examining the body after the handkerchief had been washed, the stockings, flannel, and chemise of the deceased wore "found to be marked with the same initials. On Saturday morning the body was seen by Mr. Lucas, surgeon, of Long Ashton. Witness con tinued—When I first saw the body I noticed that a portion of the pocket of the deceased's dress had been cut out, and the upper part of the pocket was hanging outside the dress. I produce a portion of a pocket containing a stone, which was fou n d b y one of Mr. Smith's keepers yesterday evening. I have compared this piece with the portion of the pocket which remains on the deceased's dress, and find it corresponds exactly. On Saturday morn iug, between eleven and twelve, I went again to the spot where the body was f oun d , and on further examination I discovered marks of blood on the bushes which grow on the edge of the precipice beneath which the body was found, and also on some stones. There was a dint or mark in the soil below, which I have no doubt was caused by the head of the deceased in falling over. In my opinion, the body was rolled down the p rec i p i ce , and afterwards laid out as it was found. A search was made, in the woods, but I found no knife, pistol, or other weapon, nor any artic!es of female dress. The first time I noticed any "flyblows" alive on the Lody was yesterday morning, about 9 o'clock. Thomas Fry, gamekeeper to Mr. J. H. J. Smyth, of Ashton-court, deposed to finding the portion of the pocket, with a stone in it, in the course of yes tet day at the top of Rowuham-hill on the park side, under the park wall. It appeared to have beenfluna over the wall from the road into th e p u k. He gave the packet to Sergeant Drewitt, of the Ashton police. The place where the pocket was found was in the road to Bristol from the place where the body was found. Mr. Rudd Lucas, surgeon, of Long Ashton.—On Saturday morning I made an external examination of the wounds on the deceased, and found the ap pearances of a large incised wound across the throat about six inches in length and from two to three inches in depth. The large vessels on the left side of the neck, I believe, were not divided. The upper part of the windpipe was completely severed. The external carotid artery on the right side was divided as well as the internal carotid artery; and the gullet was also wounded on the right side. I noticed a wound on the right temple, apparently produced by a billet. There was likewise a deprez- Sioll of the bones of the head above the right ear and a bruise or graze on the outer angle of the right eye. The right eyelid presented the appear ance of the bruise commonly called " a black eye." Tile cut in the thro-tt must have been mide with a sharp instrument, such at; a knife or razz ; the hole iu the temple was apparently caused by a bullet. The body has not been stripped, and a post mortein examination would in all probahility discover the bullet, as there was no corresponding exit. I have no doubt that death resulted from Vim injuries which I observed, and that it is hardly possible the deceased could have inflicted those iujurie upon herself. s By Mr. Gould, chief of the should say that deceased had been dead aLout two days when I fist saw the holy, on Saturday mottling. The b'ack eye wai of recant date, and I balieve was pra dtrel either by the bullet or by the body being thrown down the cliff immeiia'ely after deity. I think the I am of opinion th a t th e th roa t h a d been cut twi,e, delme.:sion'also was produced by the fall. because the line of the incision in the skin divides into two just at the right extremity of the incision. Mav of the muscles on the side ally front of the throat had the appearance of having been gnawed away by some animal with small teeth, such as a stoat or rat. _ _ _ By a Juror—The throat was cut from the loft to the right, and both cuts were iu the same direction, and from below upwards. The Coroner then directed Mr. Lucas to make a post morton examination of the body. Mr. Gould thou stated that he had just received nformation which led him to believe that the pro duction of any further evidence would be likely to defeat the ends of justice, and therefore he asked for an adjournment of the inquest. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned till Sa turday next. SPORTING INT2LLIGEN.CE DONCASTER SEPTEMBER MEETING. DONCASTER, Monday Evening. " Upwards of 1,700 guineas, added money, given at this meeting." Such is the announcement which precedes the programme prepared by the racing authorities at Doncaster that their liberality is duly appreciated is attested by the long list of en tries which is appended to the different stakes, and by the large number of horses located in the vicinity of the town. Southern stables will not be very numerously represented. From Newmarket only one horse will, it is said, ba sent, whilst Win. Day and others will not have a champion to do battle fur them on Doncaster's far-famed Town Moor. The training establishments of the North, however, will be fully represented ; and, indeed, the gathering wtll be e;sentialiy a Yorkshire one. A Yorkshire mare is one of the favourites for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, and Blintz Bonny and Ignoramus, the leading favourites for the St. Leger, are Yorkshire bred and trained. Indeed, these two animals have given rise to a controversy as violent in its character as that respecting the comparative merits of the Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur, and the St. Leger will therefore occasion an encounter as exciting as that in which the Dutchman was com pelled to strike his colours before Voltigeur in the memorable race for the Cup in 1850. The disturb ances in India will deprive the meeting of many of its influential supporters. Still, to judge from the crowd of visitors whith fills the high street, and the long trains arriving in quick succession, the assem blage of company will not be perceptibly diminished. The list of sport contains thirty items, and its at traction does not centre entirely in the St. Leger, for to-day in addition to th 3 Handicap, the Cham pagne Stakes—an important two-year-old race— will be decided. For this event Eclipse, a olt much talked about in connexion with next year's Derby will make his first appearance in public, a d the fact of his having been so heavily backed for the Epsom event, coupled with a report which describes him as better than his stable companions, Clydesdale and Sedbury, causes his debut to be re garded with much interest and curiosity. The Fitzwilliam Stakes (the entries for which will be found below) has been restored to its original form, at the request, it is said, of Lord Milton, one of the stewards. It is now a weight-for-age race, a de scription of " event," which we regret to state has almost gone out of fashion. Handicaps have superseded weights-for -age races, and no wonder, for few horses could compete on equal terms with animals of the Fisherman and Skirmisher class. Southern sportsmen really regard the boast which has bean made about the northern " cracks" for the St. Leger with a kind of grim complacency, and believe that one of their outsiders will upset all calculations which may have been formed about. the favourites. Adamas and Blink Bonny will fight their Derby battle over again, and the result will prove whether it•was chance only that enabled Adamas to obtain the forward position which hadid at Epsom. The recent rain has rendered the ground somewhat sticky, and this circumstance tends to inorease the uneasiness of the backers of the favourites, and to heighten the expectations of the fielders. It is probable that the number of. starters will be larger than is anticipated. So long ago as last year, a bet of six monkeys to four (3,000/. to 2,0001.) was laid on Ignoramus against Dawson's lot, who will, of course, have a represen— tative in the lists. Should Blink Bonny win, how ever, she will accomplish that which has not yet been achieved. To win the Derby, Oaks, and St. Leger has never fallen to the lot of one animal. People who like strange coincidences may derive some amusement from the following statement : Champion was the first horse that won bolt Darby and St. Lager. In 1800 he won the double event, and from that period down to 1848 the " Champion Charm" was not broken. Surplice, a horse bred by Lord George Bentinck, in that year won the northern and southern event, and in 1849 and 1850 similar triumphs awaited the Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur. An interval of two years then elapsed before a Derby victor added the St. Leger to his achievements ; but in 1853 West Australian accomplished the feat of winning the three great races of the season, viz., the Two Thousand, the Derby and the St. Leger. Since that period the St. Leger has fallen to outsiders. Champion won the two races iu 1800 ; in 1810 Eleanor carried off the Derby and Oaks ; and in 1853 Queen of Trumps won the Oaks and St. Leger • and since that time those races have not been Placed to the credit of one animal. Still, as Surplice destroyed the " charm" which was popu larly supposed to prevent a Derby winner from adding the St. Leger to his success and as West Australian woe the three leading events in his year, Blink Bonny may surpass the Eleanor and Queen of Trumps triumphs, by secur;ne, the Derby, Oaks, and St. Leger. The cards for Thursday and Friday will present their woneed features. On the last day the Cup will be •run for, and the St. Leger victor or victiess will perhaps appo it amongst the competitors. Several alterations have been made in the Grand Stand and enclosure, the most noticeable improve ment being the erection of outer rails to prevent the mob from having communication with people in the " ring." Several important sales of blood stock will take place during the week, and not the least interesting proceeding will be the meeting to which the race officials of the kingdom are invited to discuss the present state of the turf. They will inaugurate their business on the "Leger night" with the good old English custom of a dinner. People are curious to ascertain what measures of turf reform they will suggest. Lieut.-Colonel Ousley Higgins, Major Wortley, and James Merry, Esq., have consented to preside on the occasion. Entries for the Fitzwilliam Stakes.—Minnie, Queenstown, Fisherman, Princess Royal, Yeller Gal, Old Tem, Saunterer, Mainstay, East Lsngton, Fright, Arta, Vedette, Lady Alice, Honeystick.

AQUATICS. 4 KEW AND BRENTFORD REGATTA. This regatta this year was more than usually success ful, as some of t'4e gentlemen of the neighbourhood, as well as giving their subscriptions, paid their entrance money, formed a committee, who took part of the man agement, and rowed two races themselves. The racing consisted altogether of twelve races, under the manage ment of George Williams and William Wapahot ; and from twelve in the day till dusk a great number of per sons collected to witness the races, the results of the principal of which we subjoin.

A meeting was held in the Guildhall, Leicester, yesterday, conveyed by the Mayor (Mr. Joseph Underwood), to take into consideration what means should be adopted to alleviate the sufferings of our fellow-countrymen in India. On the motion of Mr. J. D. Harris, M.P., the Mayor was called to the chair. Letters were read from Lord Howe, en closing a cheque for 501., and from Admiral Ar buthnot and Major Wollaston, each enclosing a cheque for Si. The first resolution was moved by Mr. J. Harris, M.P., expressing deep sympathy for the sufferings of our fellow-countrymen and countrywomen in India. The resolution was se conded by the Rev. J. Dixon, and carried unani mously. The second resolution was moved by Dr. Noble, to the effect that the meeting was anxious to relieve the destitute condition of their country men in India, caused by a barbarian army, and for that purpose a subscription be opened at the va rious banks in the town, and the amount so col lected forwarded to the central committee. A com mittee was then formed, consisting of Earl Howe, the members for the borough, the Mayor, and the principal inhabitants. Before the meeting sepa rated the sum collected amounted to 2201. EXETER. At a meeting of the Town Council a few days ago, the Mayor, Mr. W. Buckingham, stated that he had received a letter from the Mayor of London, - asking the Council to co-operate in raising a fund for the sufferers in India. His worship further stated that he had received encouragement from several country gentlemen who were most anxious to co-operate with the citizens. He need not say that the feeling in this country was very strong in deed with regard to the disgraceful and atrocious cruelties which had been perpetrated on persons of all classes in India, among whom were a consider able number who had been rendered destitute, and who had little or no claim upon the E.►st India Company for compensation. He suggested that a public meeting of the citizens should be convened for Friday next ; which suggestion the Council re idily adopted, and a resolution to that effect was unanimously adopted. TORQUAY. A subscription has been set on foot in this town on behalf of our suffering fellow l countrymen in India, and 140/. hove been already remitted to the Lord Mayor of London. Naval and Military Intelligence. The companies of Royal Engineers at present stationed at head-quarters, Chatham, have been greatly strengthened by the arrival within the past few days of a number of detachments for the pur pose of augmenting the companies ordered out to India. The 4th, 10th, 11th, and 21st companies are ready to embark at a moment's notice. They will be provided with every description of sapping and mining tools, batteries, photographic appara tus, and every other requisite for this branch of the service. A large number of the Sappers and Miners proceeding to India were employed in the Crimea and took part in the destruction of the great docks at Sebastopol. The whole ofthe non-commissioned officers and men ordered to embark have been me dically inspected, in order that none but troops in sound constitution may proceed to India. Col. H. J. Savage, Commanding Royal Engineer at Chatham, having been appointed Commanding Royal Engineer at Gibraltar, vice Col. W. C. Ward, has been succeeded at Chatham by Col. W. Biddle comb Mario*, R.E. Since the recent arrival of the large number of recruits for the various East Indian depots at Chat ham garrison considerable exertions have been made by the authorities at the Provisional Batta,- lien to have the whole of them instructed in the use of the Enfield rifle, orders having been given that every man before pronounced fit for embarkation for India must have undergone a course of instruction in that weapon. Yesterday morning the depots of the 73d and 77th Regiments left the camp at Colchester, wherq ; they had been quartered for some months, for Ports, mouth, on the way to Jersey. The 73d, comprising 170 non-commissioned officers and men, were under the command of Captain Renny, the other offi cers with the depots consisting of Captain Wil liams, Lieut. Mackenzie, Ensi g ns Rayley, Piggott, Sharpe, Warren, and Clarke. The 77th, under the command of Brevet Lieut.-Colonel H. R. Carden, consisted of 110 men, and the following officers : Capt. Long, Lieutenants Armstrong and Dooley, Ensigns Jordan, Davids, Jackson, and Bridges. The 6th Dragoon Guards left Aldershott on Sa turday for Brighton. The greatest activity prevails in the Royal Labo ratory Department, Woolwich, in preparing the elongated pluggsd bullet for the East India Com pany's service. One million of these newly-in vented bullets were forwarded from Woolwich to the docks for transport to Bengal ; and two mil lions of the same species, packed in cases contain ing 2,000 each, wereyesterday shippedfor Bombay, together with shot, shell, and ammunition, for the troops already embarked. The Hydaspes lies off the Royal Arsenal Pier in readiness to embark the troops under orders for Calcutta. The embarkation, however, according to present orders, will not take place before Thursday. A couple of cast-iron guns, a portion of the trophies from the late Russian war, were yesterday for'arded from Woolwich Arsenal, by order of Lord Panmure, for presentation to the city of Exeter. The length of each gun is Bft. bin., and the relative weight is 58cwt. 2qr. and 57cwt. 2qr. The naval transport Diligence, having discharged her cargo of returned war stores from Gibraltar, is ordered to be docked and overhauled. The screw steam-vessel Rifleman, 8, late from that south-east coast of America, having been dis mantled, was yesterday paid. off at Woolwich. She is ordered to be stripped of her engines, which re quire new framework, and will be docked to go through a complete overhaul. The number of recruits sent to head-quarters, Woolwich, from the Artillery detachments stationed in various out-quarters shows that the gap created in that force by the recent despatch to India will be speedily filled up. During the month of August the number of recruits admitted at Wool w:ch is stated to be about 800, and during the past week 150 were recruited at Woolwich alone, the majority of whom were growing young men, from the age of 18 to 20. The Royal Dragoons have given 24 volunteers to the 7th Dragoon Guards, about to embark for India, and the Scots Greys 21. The 12th Light Dragoons have given 20 volunteers to the 17th Lancers, also under orders for India. The 3d Light Dragoons, at Newbridge, under Col. Unett, are held in readiness at short notice to march ear'y this week to Dundalk, there to relieve the Bth (Royal Irish) Hussars. One troop is sta tioned in Belfast, and another is quartered in Cork Bmacks. The Bth Royal Irish Humus, Dundalk, under Lieut.-Col. de Salis,. are held in readiness at short notice to march for Newbridge, to replace the 3d Light Dragoons, and occupy the barrack there till ordered to Dublin to prepare to embark for India.

The Commander-in-Chief at Devenport, Vice- Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds, G. C. 8., is so much bett€r that he is to proceed on leave of ab s nee into Cornwall, the duties of the port in his absence being carried on by Rear-Admir a l Super int ndeut Sir J. H. Plumridge, K.C. B. Mr. Hemsley, in charge of the Rendezvous at Sunderland, is succeeding admirably in entering volunteers for the Royal Navy. Since the early part of last month he has sent off five drafts of good s-amen and stokers, and fresh hands are dropping , in every day. The Arrogant, 47, screw, in No. 2 dock at Perfor m ,uth, has had additional hands placed on her to complete her repairs as s -- ,on as possible. She has alinwt had half a new bottom, the old timbers and planking of which were found to be much decayed. She was launched iu 1848. The Cuckoo, 3, paddle, Lieut.-Commander A. G. E. Murray, has left Sheerness for Chatham, to take a portion of the crew of the Trincomalee, which will be paid off this day at Chatham. The Diadem, 32, screw, Captain Moorsorn, C. 8., will be supplied with Griffith's intent screw pro peller, and Cli&rd's parent safety-boat gear appa ratns. The Russell, 60, screw, block ship, is still in Si:eel- 1104s basin, fitting s'owly.

A whirlwind, of violence fortunately unknown in this country, occurried in the early part of the morning (between one and two o'clock) of Thurs day, the 3d inst., at a short distance north of this city. Its effects appear to have been first noticed in a field of Mr. Gilbert Wood's, near Plawsworth, whete some sheaves of wheat were found, in the course of the ensuing day, to be partly dispersed about the field, and partly hurled into au adjoining turnip field to distances exceeding 100 yards from the spots in which they were st coding on the pre ceding evening. From Plawsworth its tortuous course was marked by broken boughs, uprooted corn, and other unequivocal symptoms of a tc rna,dr, to Barras-hill, a farm house of Lord Durham's, situ ate to the east of SacriAon, where it appears to have attained an amount of force and violence that can scarcely be credited without personal inspection. The farm house and buildings were in a great mea sure unroofed, the window glass instantaneously forced into the rooms—the upper part of several corn ricks, just stacked, dispersed in all directions —some hedge-row timber, of fine growth, as well as some single trees, scattered, and broken to pieces, —and a track of about 80 yards iu width on the west side of this hedga literally covered with broken boughs and splinters. There appears, however, to have been a lull in the centre of the whirlwind when passing the hedge-row, as two or three fine trees appeared but slightly injured, whilst for 20 or 3 0 yards on either side of them every tree was shat tered to pieces. From Barras-bill it might be traced to Mr. T. Holmes's farmstead, to the east of Witton Gilbert, where it unroofed a stable, and tore up ~.some apple trees in the garden, passing, however, without injury, a bed of cabbages adjoin., ing the roots of some lofty trees, bereft of their top branches by the fury of the blast. On reaching' the Browney River, near Witton, its violence seems to. have been exhausted, and the utmost limit of its ravages confined to a distance of four miles. The passage over the Barras-hill farm appears to have been almost momentary. Its approach awakened one of the inmates, who compared it to the sound of a thrashing machine in full motion. This was succeeded by the crash of broken glass and falling tiles, and followed by a profound silence, broken on'y by a heavy fall of rain for a few minutes. Thunder and vivid lightning were heard and ob served shortly before the occurrence of the pheno , menon, which was doublers of electric origin, and —had it occurred in the day time—would undoub tedly have been the object of much more observa tion and wonder than have resulted from its occur rence in the dead hour of night.—Durham Adver tiser.
