'CUE GOODWOOD MEETLNG.-LEWES AND

BRIGHTON ANTICIPATIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS.
AlR.—Whence the "croaker" obtained their
information that " Glorious " Goodwood, in two or three
yews, would be sboliehed, is impossible to conjecture, as
the closing of the Duke of Richmond's establishment to
the elite during the bite meeting wee inly a natural couse
duest., seeing what a little tune b.. elapsed since the late
uke's death ; but the idea is eere.inly pooh-poohed by
User who should know most conceruing the matter, and
Wit led it ever been seriously entertained, the success
of the recent gathering would care the decision to
he revoked. The great rareidecided during the week
niaiatained their proaige, set the whole, the tomparatively
email field for the Goodwood Stakes being compensated for
by the serious indueoce it had on the Cup, Starke having
dose so well with the highly-tried Etch° (who was die.
covered by W. Day to be one of the best horses of the year,
and hence the tremendous sums of money put on him) that
thuee who knew the capabilities of the youngster at home
booked him a rare good outsider for the much-desired
trophy. There was always sometLog wrong with Op-
timist it the nuuket, and it ia not a irprieing his owner
.should tinally resolve upon trusting to Starke, as
there sea, no difficulty to getting buy amount of
mouaqi•n ; ooniequeutly my proi,mostications wen
"sly defeated by en unto: men change of tee-
lice, cr 1 should have Lena first and second in
the Goodwood Cup as well as in the Stirs, and as it wee,
tasv .occluding remarks on the were that "I must de-
clam for the American colours." The field was reduced
towards the last by the abatern of lhoptantus and Parme-
san, the latter having net with au ec.adent on the morning
of the race, while Lind Statufortre hone was lame all the
week, and fairy stole his walk over fur the 300 soya.
Sweepstakes on Wedneeday, so well was the secret kept ;
but • better field has seldom contested even the Goodwood
Cup. the Atuericans beteg represented by Starke and Op-
timist, with Mr. R. Ten linack's recent purchase, Wal-
lace, to make miring for them--the Frenehnien by Mos
Etude and Royalbea—aid the Englishmen by Thorossuby,
The Wizard, boefoot, and Lady Clifden—all Bra-
dawl horse., nedoalitedly. Mon Etude certainly
cut up very badly, but did not appear to
have received the necessary preparation for such a
struggle, and Royallieu fairly best her is the race. For the
last half mile, however, the Wizard had it nearly all to him-
self, to the .lian.ay of his owner, who hid gives Osborne
the mast positive " wadiug " orders ; but it subsemiently
treed out the bores overpowered him its slew:eating the
hill (it has bees hinted be received a cut from a strunge
islitirta making the last turn), and helms when the genie
got Mkin bead io the last fifty pride he had no power
left, eel was finally beaten a head. Thornemby ran well
enough coriderieg his welter weight ; and it appeared
to or that Optimist could as rosily have gone up
to the Wizard em Starke did for the finish had such
bra Edwards' orders ; but that the Wizard
ought to have won had he nut bolted down
the hill there is scarcely any reason to question, and the
doubt whether he ms stay is completely set at rest. In
fare. Mr. Nichol offered after the race to match him against
any bone in the world at even weights without regard to
age, the opponent to choose his own distance ; and Dot even
the owners of Thonnantsy, Buocreer, or Thunderbolt (three
horse. that would take • deal of beating over their own
courses—two miles and a half for the find on the lir, one
mile for the second, aid a T. Y.C. for the last) had the cou-
rage to accept the challenge. Before dismissing the
Goodwood Cup, I cannot help noticing that toe Jockey
Club Ire at last decided uponalteringthe conditions in regard
to foreigners, the French having now to carry the same
weights as the English horses, while the Ameriatne will
only take a 7th runnel of 1411. allowance ; this judicious
reform is solely attributable to the tactic. of Mr. Merry,
who proved how unjust to English horses the condition was
by sending some of his brood mares over to France two or
three years beck to drop their foals, and they were thus, as
much entitled to the allowance as the French horses, which
have lately proved quiteseqoal to our own, in consequence
ties niajority springing from English stallions. The
Stewards' and Chesterfield ('ups produced a. much excite-
ment fur the time being as the Goodwood Cop, and the
former rendered deaf more than usually celebrated by at-
tracting forty-five enfinals to the starting-psot, the largest
field that ever came out, while the twentynix for the
chesterfield was so joke ; but owing to the dif-
ficulty in getting so many light winet from the
post uygetber, it would be useless to attempt an analysis of
either, it being enough to remark that both were carried off
by the earns animal, Cough Patrick, who upset all calcula-
tor in the second encouider by meeting two horses (Brim
Sun and Man-at-Arms) on 91b worse terms than on Tuesday,
and beating them—oast of them further than ever—although
iu the first encounter he only won by a neck. The three-yr-
old running, owing to the absence of Kettledrum, true,
and Carbioeer, was remarkably dull, the St. Leger having
but little light thrown upon it, for Kildonan cannot be said
to have berme anything of note, however be may have shown
his late defeats to have been "gammon," and the chief inch
dents in coarsion with the other events were the in-and-out
running of the Intimidation colt, Starlight, and Knight of St.
Patrick, for which the gentlemen hod to pay rather dearly,
as they laid 3 to 1 on the Intimidates colt without hesi-
tation when he met Knight of St. Petrick for the Memo-
rial, the latter baying previously received 31b. and a 71h.
beating when meeting Starlight for the Gratwicke, so that
as the Intimidation colt gave the fib periled Starlight s
101 b. beatiug fur the Drawing Room Stakes, Lord Ails..
bury's horse looked bound to beat the Knight over a mile
and • half, instead of which he erred two lengths be-
hind not only the " piper," but Canierioo also. Thus, his
defeat most have been all wrong, and no one appeared
able to account for it. Of the two.yeanolde that showed.
Caterer sad Heaths proved themselves the beet "dimities,"
while the °Megaspores, Wiograve and Alvdieton.meintaised
their superiority over the public performers, and if all be
well with the quartette they will make • great 'terra year,
Bertha being one of the most maguificent two-yr.olds that
ever was sees, and, pother, • pound or two better than
scything that has been out this 110414,0 ; she is, fortunately
for Lord Stamford, is the One Thousand Guineas, Oaks,
and St. Leger of 1562.
Lewes and Brighton will serve to render the sporting
tour in the south just about long enough, the former meet-
ing occupying Tuesday and Wednesday. There is nothing
of any great Importance in the programme. if I except the
ascend Courtesay Biennial, which has Caterer, list 114
Miesdella, Set Ilb, Aleltymist, Net 1011,, and King of Hearts,
eat 121 b, in the field, and the meeting of Caterer
aad Alchnnist would be a most important event, the Sib
prialty reedering it no certainty for the Findon Stakes
winner; however, Mr. Naylor has an useful second string
to his bow in Besaddle, who finished so close up with
Caterer, Wingers, sad Alvedietoo, after making all the
Tuareg for the former. that anther Alchymist nor King of
He uts appear capable of giving her the weight, and Mr.
Naylor might almost safely trust her sad keep Caterer for
something better, so that there is no certainty which will
represent him. The handicap of the bonier engaged in the
First Connery Biennial 13-yr-olds sow) is very well made,
but many of the thirty-nine subs. are out of training,
and Linlareff. Lady Clam, and Strike an about
the best leekiag at the weights of • three still
standing on good legs. The Two Year Old Stakes an
reduced to • mark between Blacknock and Lord Burleigh ;
and for the Lewes Handicap, Weatherhoued. Sharpshooter.
and Zodiac strike me as among the " hest in." although I
have not yet sees the acceptaacm. In the Railway Nursery
Handicap, five furlongs, Thuoderstorm, ist 111th, should he
petty handy, as be ran (instant for half • mile in the
Derr Haarlem% sad looked as if soother week's work
would do him gee & The Cutler party will also be worth
following, as it was evident the horse was not wanted at
Nottingham. The Nursery Handicap will have to form the
sheet feature at Brighton on the first day, as the Stakes
look such a certainty on paper for Starke ; but the Lewes
running will say too much for me to attempt selecting the
winner out of so mane mysterious 2.yr-olde. In the
Ninth Biennial the Intimidation colt and Starlight ere
the only horses awed of any account, and it will he diffi-
cult to wake up a sufficient number of Gond tirk starters to
claim the added mosey, with which Mr. Darling is en very
liberal in all the stakes. The Marine sod Pavilion Plates
will niystify the Weirs even after the starter are mode
kerma ; and they would hardly kimw how to choose between
Bertha and Wigwam in the Tenth Bieuoial, if they
beth Muted, which is not likely, however, to be the case.
The Champagne Stakes, me mile, have attracted eight
threes, four four; and me Ivo year eid, the weight. of the
eld'unis being as fuller :—Contor, 4.yes, flat 111 b ;
byre, Bit 611; Weetkerbentel, 4-yes, eat 71b; Curlew,
411;=lot 111 h ; edam lepado, 7,t 111 b. The

which is so oneetleia that 1 em compelled

treat Trairester, let Be. of the 3.yeolde, with Dlopheatue

N.B.—The August number of Ibtila will fully sustain
the excellent character of that popular sporting magazine,
as extern I nary likeness of Colonel Towneley being added to
the portrait gallery, while the Gentleman in Black is

The Emerald, with Admiral Koppel on board, arrived
here to-day from Bohai on the 4th July. and proceeded as
to Portsmouth. The Mawr*, from the Mediterreeeea,
with troops and invalids, has silo arrived.

DEVONPORT, Auover 4.

The ships comprised in the Channel Beet are
hourly expected here. Its not supposed, however, that
they will remain more than a day or two. Ordwa have
been received from the Admiralty in the dockyard to re-
pleoish the stores of the fleet with all possible celerity. It
la by some amumed that the fleet will from hence proceed
to the Mediterranean, and by others that it will accompany
her Majesty the queen to Ireland.
The Valorous, Captain W. C. Aldham, C.D., has gone up
Use harbour and discharged her powder, kes, preparatory to
being paid off. The supernumeraries she brought round
have been put pro tern. on board the Dotard, which is at
anchor in the Sound, and from which they will be trans-
ferred to their respective ships on the arrival of the fleet.
The Donegal, ship of war, Captain Broadhead, is still in
the Sound. There has receeffl been enacted on board this
ship some of the scenes that • other vessels in the
navy some months ago. Shot and other moveable articles
have been put loose on the deck, and the porta have been
closed without orders. The captain on becoming acquainted
with the semi mutinous state of the crew had the crew as-
sembled on the quarter-deck, and requested information
as to their grievances. All were mute, but on his
assuring the men that his object was simply to find
out the truth and where the blame lay, and that no man
should suffer for telling him of what the crew complained,
several stepped out from the ranks. The others were then
piped below, and of the half dozen who came forward the
captain subsequently made such inquiries as he considered
mammary. It is reported that the captain is deservedly
popular with the crew, butthat one of the executive officers
of the ship has unfortunately made himself obnoxious to
them.

A Yonts MAN SHOT ST YEOMANRY. —An acci-
dent of • dangerous ammeter occurred during the drill of
the Second West York Yeomaery, at Harrogate, on Friday
afternoon. Between four and five o'clock the corps &MM.
bled. in the open space in front of the Granby Hotel, and
after going through some preliminary movementa were
formed into line, and ordered to fire. As usual on such
COMIIOIIII, blank cartridge only was supposed to be used.
After firing three or four volleys the corps were dismissed
in consequence of an impending thuoderatorm, rain falling
at the time. When dismissing it was found that a young
man who had been watching the evo:atinne of the troop.
had been shot, and lty bleeding on the ground. He was
immediately removed to the surgery of Mr. Short, when it
was found he had been shot through the thigh, and was
bleeding profusely. It was at first supposed that the anti.
dent had been caused by am of the men harlot left his
ramrod in the musket, instead of returning it to its place,
and that in consequence it had been shot away ; but the
mere gement opinion appeared to be that a ball cartridge
lad been used in mistake for • blank one. Nothing definite
se to the cause of the accident could be ascertained. The
sour% man was at Mr. Short'. surgery, every attention
beiug paid to him at the request of the officers of the regi-
ment. The sufferer is believed to belong to Harrogate or
the neighbourhood.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Atbrsr 3.

parruics OF ?HI COUBT.
This day (Saturday) only two orders were issued under
the Protection Act, but they were for the end of December,
before Yr. Commissioner Nichols. Some misunderstanding
seems to prevail with reference to the new Bankruptcy awl
Insolvency Act. The bill, which is only waiting for the
royal assent to become law, will not take effect until
October, and until the 11th of that month partite can apply
under the two systems of insolvency, namely, under the
Prison and Protection Acts, and already have cases been
appointed for more than three months. Under the new
law there will be a considerable accession of business, and
as the Lord Chancellor is empowered to regulate the sittings
of the court, it is expected that certain eases will be beard
in Portugal-street, and the heavy business reserved, as
now, for the courts in Basinghallatreet. The court will
sit on Thursday, the 15th ins., for bail cases and other
matters.
