PARIS, JULY 16.
In the action for damages brought by the United
States against M. Armin, the French ship builder
employed by the Confederate authorities to build
certain blockade runners, the Imperial Advocate
summed up his speech by calling upon the court
to reject the claim made by the United States.
The court decided upon postponing judgment for
a fortni(ht.
Tile 4-citric of this evening denies a rumour
current here that the Marquis de Moustier had
sent a circular to the diplomatic agents of France
abroad, treating of the political situation of
Europe.
The muncipality of the City of Lille have con-
cluded a loan for 8,000,000 francs with the hone
of Emile Erlanger, of this city.

the ' roactatek list, Captain' Barrow being
(*bond' with 'Laufer,' -a beautiful edition
of the Black Doctor again in a much more muscu-
lar shape. A black horse, Greenfeed, in this class
was purchased at a high Sgure by Mr. Phillips,
the horse dealer of Knightsbridge. In the pony
Sikes Mr. Grolicock's King' Aitlniz, who was re-
cently purchased at Tattersall's for 23 guineas,
took the second prize, and he has that which
tairpasseth show, in leaping posiers, such as few
ponies of his height can- boast ; his owner, who
only began his labour as a'Royal exhibitor last
year, was first with his grey cob Champagne
Charlie, and second. with his bay pony Pretty
Susan. The hunter class was made especially in-
Fnearing by the antagonism of Lady Derwent and
ountam Dew ; the " Lady" had won at Ripon,
d.had been beaten at Peterborough, by a bay
bon* from the master of the Pytchley's stnd,
fine the two met, with different judges, for the
Islington gold modal. That decision was con-
firmed to-day before a tribunal of three, of which
Sir George Wombwell was one, and the mare beat
the home. Sir George is known to have as great
a fancy for chestnuts in his hunting stud as Sir
lamest Musgrave once . had for greys, but •
still Mr. Tailly's Orangeman Ira. not a
kize-taker. This horse is, after at " the sense-
Win -horse" of the meeting: "Have you seen
Tiulliee Orangeman ?" is the first question 'asked
by -" men of stable minds,"' and those who have
seen him declare that saeh.izperfeot hunter hardly
ever looked through a.bridle. The. horse-dealing
profession declared for him fo-: a_ rnan,and certain
he is " all go from his head to his heel," as one of
them phrased it, end cast in the precise mould
that a hunter should be. Had ho been first, and
'Y the Lady" second, we belikve 'that the decision
fould not only have pleased Leicestershire, but all
e hunting men better." The Lady,"-who was bred
y e mull farmer, Mr. Thomas Lamb, of Win-
lirmgham, has now taken oeven first prizes' and
WA: --&itrt; 11,,.. nine.. The Aim Of the iatter with
a chesnut foal at her ride, took a second in the -
hunter brood mare class ; and Mr. John Booth's
Brigadier, a very improving brown by young
Voltigeur, was first among the four-year-old
hunters. Mr. Booth's brother had equally fine
Ind, whey, for the first time, he led the Warloby
shorthorns into action. Commander-in-Chief,
ono of the handsomest bulls that the
late Mr. Bichard Booth ever bred, was placed
first, and Mr. Peel's Knight of Knowhnere, of the
same Booth blood, *mond in a rare class of old
bulls. In the two-year-old class, Bates, on
Knightley, had a turn with Mr. Adcock's Baron
Geneva ; and in the yearlings a very oxoellent
Irish bull, Mr. Meadows's Bolivar, whose head is a
perfect study, beat everything. In both these
classes Lady Pigot was second, and her lady-
ship's herdsman, John Ward, was able to say
that he had only brought four, and car-
ried off three seconds and a third. In the
class for bull calves, Mr. Foljambe achieved
a success of a remarkable character, as
two of his bulls by Knight of the Garter (22,062)
were first and second. Mr. Booth's Lady Fragrant
was soon put aside as first for the cows, and,
after a good deal of consideration, the judges
placed Mr. How's Jolly Queen second, and Lady
Pigot's Queen of Rosalea third.
Her Majesty won her first short-horn prize with
Alexandra in a fair class of two-year-old heifers,
and Mr. How beat Mr. Booth for first honours
with a very capital heifer, Lady Anne, bred by
Mr. Logan, while Mr. Game finished third with
Duchess of Towneley.
The Herefords were not very strongly re-
presented as regards numbers, but those who
wished to see a premium bull of the sort had only
to seek No. 309, Mr. Arkwright'e " Sir Hunger-
ford," with Mr. Duokham's half-brother to the
Commodore, next to bho. Her Majesty was
second for the yearling bulls and yearling heifers,
with Prince Leopold and Duchess de Brontk ;
hut the plum of the white and mottle faces was
Mr. Plimley's heifer.

The Devona had a capital show throughout,
and Messrs. George Turner, J. A. Smith, W.
Farthing, W. Smith, and J. H. Buller all took firsts.
Mr. Day, the Battersea champion, only made one
nomination, and was third. The Channel Islands
cattle had a very large entry, and the changes for
these useful " dairy stainers" were simply rung
upon Clement Pallot, of St. Saviour's, and Philip
Landon, of St. Helier's. Longhorns, that
indigenous breed of Leicestershire, of course
claimed a place, and if the Duke of Buckingham
did invade its preeinuta with " coonqueror" as the
head of the bulls, Mr. Richard Chetinatl,
defied all comers with his Brindled Beauty and Bose
of Disbley.

Mr. Creswell, who has been of late years as
completely the champion of Leicestershire in July
as Lord Berrien in December, did not come up to
his usual form in the Leicester classes, and was
only commended. Still, if it was not-hie day,
__
there was another and A y 1,3 tuiger men in 6u.
George Turner, of itllt_ion, who took the first
prize in the old thin class. Mr. Sanday' jun.,
kept up the hams (which was one of dread
60 10k1g) ha second in the shearhng ram
clue% and Colonel Inge, who bred from
Mr, Sunday so long, all but " skinned
the lamb, ' with three firsts in the
ehearling ram, shearli-4g ewe, and breeder ewe
thirds and Aldr. Berton was well placed with two
~,,,--it" a B°°°l',,„ 41.., almost entirely of the Bled-
mere blood.
„_"'..i leading feature in the Cotswold
chasesi. was 'la success of Mr. Thomas Brown, of
--"`"aln,. ' '.sfolk, who has onlytakenup Cotswolds
43 ''' e last two years, and has caught and
beaten
_. • some of the old established breeders
1-" ',se clam, and come second end third to them
'.r the others. The Marshall's dock showed well,
as of yore, among the Lincoln classes, and
George Wallis was great, is HAMA with the Oxford
Downs, where Mr. Henry Overman had a second
for shearling ewes. Mr. James Turner stripped
to his shirt sleeves to examine the houthdowns,
