The Graving Docks are freehold, with a frontage to the
River Thames. The Docks are constructed to receive ships
and steamers of r.,500 tone, and are provided with all the ne-
cessary workshops and accessories for first-class Dry Docks,
so as to enable them to keep up the high character they have
ever possessed ; the Company will, therefore, have at com-
mand the means of economically and promptly keeping their
ships in efficient order ; by so doing a great saving is effected,
which forms a considerable item of profit.
When free from use by the Company's vessels, it is in-
tended that the Graving Dock shall, as hitherto, be em-
ployed in the repair of other vessels ; and having in view the
very limited Dry Dock accommodatLn in the Thames, com-
pared with the extent of tonnage that frequents the Port of
London, and the constant and pressing demand for docks of
this magnitude, it is confidently anticipated that this branch
cf the Company's operations will con. inue to yield its very
large revenue, while the property will be found yearly in-
creasing in value.
The terms upon which the whole of the fleet of Vessels,
Graving Docks and Plant, are to be taken by the Company
are most fair and liberal, and in perfect harmony with the
high reputation of the Vendors, they having agreed to the
whole being taken at a valuation, to be made by four compe-
tent Surveyors, two of which will be nominated by Messrs.
Staines Brothers and two by the Company, with an umpire in
the usual way. The goodwill has been fixed at a very mode-
rate price, and which will include all the accruing freights on
the ships, work in the yards, itc.
By this arrangement the Company confidently anticipate
that they will be in a position to declare large dividends, so
that the Directors feel that applicants, instead of applying
for shares in a new undertaking, will rather be admitted as
partners in one of the oldest, most lucrative, and valuable
concerns in London, and which has the immense advantage
of being in full operation.
Messrs. Somes Brothers have both taken seats at the
Board, thereby securing to the Company their great practi-
cal experience and influence ; they have further shown their
confidence in the undertaking by subscribing £llO,OOO of the
capital.
The able and active stair of officials will remain in the em-
ploy of the Company, so that the business will not suffer an
hour's interruption by the transfer.
Applications for the remaining shares must be made in the
form annexed, and be accompanied by a payment 01 £1 per
share ; it no allotment be made, the amount will be returned
forthwith ; if a less number be allotted than is applied for,
the amount paid on application will be applied towards the
payment of the 41 due on allotment, the balance (U any) being
returned.
PrOSpeCtIIKe3 and forms of application, with plan of the
Dockyard anti Premises, may be had at the offices of the Im-
perial 3lercantile Credit Association and of the Credit illo-
blier, of the Secretary, Vile Bankers, Brokers, and Solicitors.

the Court it appeared that the police found two men—the
Sheedys, father and son—engaged in manufacturing whisky
in an outhouse belonging to them, They seized the still,
still head, worm, 20 gallons of illicit whisky, five sacks
of
malt, six barrels of wash, and two tubs of potale, and also
arrested the two men. It appeared that a man named John
Darcy was shot through the head by the discharge of the
firearms of the police; and from the evidence of the Sheedys
there wos no more crowd than might have been expected on
such an occasion, and not the last pressing upon the police
constables or attempting to impede their progress, although
some threatening and abusive language was used. The
jury, after a short deliberation, returned ayerdiet, That the
deceased died of a gunshot wound, and that the police were
not justified in firing on that occasion.

The following is a copy of the original letter held
by me to be delivered to Horace Greeley, which de-
spatch I now forward to the Associated Press.

Clifton House, July 21.

Sir,—The paper handed to Mr Holcomb yester-
day, in your presence, by Major Hay, as to the
application in our note of the 18th inst., is couched
in the following terms—Tae application to which
we refer was decided by your letter of the 17th
inst., in which you inform Mr Thomson and our-
selves that you were authorised by the President of
the United States to give us safe conduct, on the
hypothesis that we are duly accredited from Rich-
mond as hearers of propositions looking to the esta-
blishment of peace, and desired to visit Washington
in the fulfilment of this mission. This assertion, to
which we gave and still do entire credence, was ac-
cepted by us as the evidence of an expected but most
gratifying change in the policy of the President, a
change which we felt authorised to hope might
terminate in'the conclusion of a peace mutually just,
honourable, and advantageous to the North and to
the South, exacting no condition but that we should
be acredited from Richmond as bearers of proposis
tions looking to the establishment of peace, thus
proffering a basis for a conference as we could de-
sire. It seemed to us that the President opened a
door which had previously been closed against the
Confederate States, for fall interchange of senti-
ments, free discussion of conflicting opinions, and
untrammelled efforts to remove all causes of con-
troversy by liberal negotiations. We, indeed,"could
not claim the benefit of a safe conduct which had
been extended to us in a character we had no right
to assume, and had never affected to possess, bat the
uniform declaration of our Executive and Congress,
and their thrice-repeated, and as often repulsed,
attempts to open negotiations furnished a sufficient
pledge that this considerate manifestation on thepart
of the President of the United States would he met
by them in temper of equal magnanimity. We had
therefore no hesitation in declaring that if this cor-
respondence was communicated to the President of
the Confederate States, he would probably embrace
the opportunity presented for seeking a peaceful
solution of this unhappy strife. We feel confident
you must share our profound regret that the spirit
which dictated the first step towards peace had not
continued to animate the councils of your President.
Had the representatives of the two Governments
met to consider this question, the most momentous
ever submitted to human statesmanship, in temper
of becoming moderation and equity, followed as their
deliberations would, have been by the prayers and
benedictions of every patriot and Christian on the
habitable globe, who is there so bold as to pronounce
that the frightful waste of individual happi•
which is daily Cid-
nen and public propperity

THE AMERICAN PEACE PROPOSALS,

The following is the text of the correspondence
respecting the peace proposa!s exchanged between
the semi-official Confederate Commissioners and
President Lincoln, a summary of which has already
been received by telegraph :

Dear Sir,—l am authorised to say that the Hon.
Clement Clay, of Alabama; Professor S. B. Hol-
comb, of Virginia; and G. N. Saunders, of Dixie,
are ready and willing to go at once to Washington
upon complete and unqualified protection being
given by the President or Secretary of War. Let
the permission include the three names and one
other.—Yours respectfully,
(Signed) GEO. N. SAUNDERS.
To Hon. H. Greeley.

Gontlemen,—l am informed that you are dilly
accredited from Richmond as the bearers of propo•
sitions looking to the establishment of peace; that
you desire to visit Washington in fulfilment of your
mission, and that you further desire that G. N.
Saunders shall accompany you. If my information
be thus far substantially correct, I am authorised by
the President of the United States to tender you
his safe conduct on the journey proposed, and to
accompany you at the earliest time that will be
agreeable to you.—l have the honour to be, gentle.
men, yours truly,
(Signed) H. GREELEY.
To Messrs. C. C. Clay. I. Thomson,
and J. B. Holcomb.

Niagara Falls, July 18.
Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge
the receipt of yours of this date by the hand of W.
C. Jewett, the statement of facts therein presented
being materially different from that which was
understood to exist by the President, when he en-
trusted me with the safe conduct required. It
seems to me on every account advisable that I
should communicate with him by telegraph, and
solicit fresh instructions, which I shall at once
proceed to do. I hope to be able to transmit the
result this p.m.; at all events I shall do so at the
earliest moment.

Niagara Falls, July 18.
Sirs—We have the honour to acknowledge your
favour of the 17th inst., which would have been
answered yesterday bat for the absence of Mr Clay.
The safe conduct of the President of the United
States has been tendered, as we regret to state,
under some misapprehension of facts. We have
not been accredited to him from Richmond as the
bearers of propositions looking to the establishment
of peace. We are, however, in confidential employ.
ment of our Government, and entirely familiar
with its wishes and opinions on that subject ; and
we feel authorised to declare that, if the circum.
stance disclosed in this correspondence were com-
municated to Richmond, we would be at once in-
vested with the authority to which your letter
refers; or other gentlemen,clothed with full powers,
would be immediately sent to Washington, with
the view of hastening a consummation so much to
be desired, and terminating, at the earliest possible
moment, the calamities of war. We respectfully
solicit, through your intervention, a safe conduct
to Washington, and thence by any route which may
be designated, through your lines to Richmond. We
would be gratified if Mr Saunders was embraced in
this privilege. Permit us, in conclusion, to acknow-
ledge our obligations to you for the interest you
have nian',festEd in the furtherance of our wishes,
and to express the hope that in any event you will
afford us the opportunity of tendering them in
person before you leave the Falls.
C. C. CLAY and J. B. HOLCOAIB.

PRICF 4d.
STAMPED, sd.

dening the universal heart might not have been
terminated, or, if the depletion and carnage of war
must still be endured through weary years of blood
and suffering, that there might not at least have
been infused into its conduct something of the spirit
which softens and partially redeems its brutalities ?
Instead of the safe conduct'which we solicited, and
which your first letter gave us every reason to sup-
pose would be extended for the purpose of initiating
a regulation where neitherGovernmentcomnroraised
its right or dignity, a document has been presented
which was originally offered, and is unlike any
paper which ever before emanated from the consti-
tutional executive of a free people. Addressed to
whom it may concern, it precludes negotiations,
and prescribes, in advance, the terms and conditions
of peace, the return to the original policy of no ,
bargaining, no protesting, no truce with the enemy,
except to bury the dead, until every man should
have laid down his arms, submitted to the Govern-
ment, and sued for mercy. What may be the ex-
planation of this sudden and entire change in the
views of the President, of this rude withdrawal of
a courteous overture for negotiations, at the moment
it was likely to be accepted ? If this emphatic
recall of words of peace just uttered and fresh blasts
of war be the better, we leave for the speculation of
those who have means or inclination to penetrate
the mysteries of the Cabinet or fathom the caprice
of his imperial will. It is enough for us to say that
we have no use whatever for the paper which has
been placed in our hands. We could not transmit
it to the President of the Confederate States, with-
out offering him indignity, dishonouring ourselves,
and incurring the well-merited scorn of our coun-
trymen. Whilst an ardent desire for peace pre-
vails, the people of the Confederate States are
rejoiced to believe that there are few, if any,
amongst them who could purchase it at the expense
of liberty, honour, and self-respect. If it can be
secured only by their submission to terms of con-
quest, the generation is yet unborn which will
Witness its restoration. If there be any military
authority in the North who is entitled to proffer
the conditions of this manifesto, there is none in the
South authorised to entertain them. Those who
control our armies are the servants of the people,
not their masters, and they have no more inclination
than they have right to subvert the social institu-
tions of foreign states, to overthrow their priceless
heritage of self-government. This correspondence
will not, however, we trust, prove wholly barren of
good results. If there is any citizen of the Conte.
derate States who has clung to the hope that peace
was possible with this administration of the Federal
Government, it will strip from his eye the last film
of such delusion. If there be any whose hearts have
grown faint under the suffaring and agony of this
bloody struggle, it will inspire them with fresh
energy to endure and brave whatever may yet be
requisite to preserve to themselves and their children
all that gives dignity and value to life, or hope and
consolation to death. If there be any patriots and
Christians in your land who shrink appalled from
the lengthened vista of private misery and public
calamity which stretches before them, we pray that
in their bosoms a resolution may be quickened to
reclaim the abused authority and vindicate the
outraged civilisation of their country. For the
solicitude you have manifested to inaugurate a
movement which contemplates results the most noble
and humane we return our sincere thanks, and are
most respectfully and truly your obedient servants,
(Signed) "C. CLAY,
" S. B. HOLCOMB, ) Commissioners.
" To the Hon. H. Greeley."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON RA.CES.-TUESDIY.

A slight flavcour of Goodwood lingers round the Brighton
meeting. The aristocratic crowd congregated at the ducal
gathering has not yet dispersed itself to its autumn recrea-
tions, and consequently there is a sprinkling of those turf
habitue's who have probably bid adieu to racing until next
year's Epsom and Ascot again call them to the field.
The ground, always hard at Brighton, was, of course,
doubly so this year, and the fields consequently deficient in
quantity and quality, The Brighton Handicap, owing to
the absence of Deerfoot, who cast a plate after his number
went up, was left to the Tyke and Jane Shore, who raced
home together, Lord Uxbridge's colt winning by three-
quarters of a length.

There was a sad falling off in the ;Brighton Biennial,
Fille de L'Air frightening away all competitors except
Peon, who made a fight for it with the French mare, and
was beaten cleverly by a neck.
The Stakes only brought out seven runners, Bally Ed-
mond being made the favourite, with Madcap next in de-
mand. Lord Hastings's outsider Redcap, however, landed
them very easily, defeating the favourite by a length.
Lytham cantered in for the Marine Plate, and then fol-
lowed the Brighton Nursery, which boasted a large entry,
though but 14 came to the post. Attache was made rather
a warm favourite, but suffered easy defeat from Nukuheva,
who won in a canter without being called upon.
The attendance was good, and the weather delightful.
We ought to mention as worthy of imitation that the com-
mittee had caused the road to the course to be well wa•
tered. There was no betting on future events.

The Bristol Plate of 50 sons (handicap), for all ages. One

mile,
Lord Uxbridge's The Tyke, 3 yrs, Est 101 b (S. Adams) 1
Mr Saxon's Jane Shore, 3 yrs, Est 71b (II. Sharp) 2

(Edwards) 7

Hibbord weighed for Doerfoot, 4 yrs, Sat 131 b, but in
consequence of his casting a shoe his number was taken
down.

The betting opened at 6 to 4 agst Deerfoot, but upon his
retirement it closed at 2 to 1 agst Jane Shore, 3 to 1 eget
The Tyke, and 5 to 1 agst Prince Lee 800.
The Tyke, in company with Prince Lee 800, was the first
away, and came on with a clear lead of Confederalist and
Jane Shore to the bond. Here Prince Lee 800, next the
rails, took a decided lead, which he held into the bottom,
where the pair were headed by the favourite, who, appa-
rently pulling double, came on in advance to the stand,
where she was again headed by The Tyke, who won
cleverly by three-quarters of a length—Flying Spur finished
a bad third, and Confederalist fourth.
The Second Year of the Twelfth Brighion Biennial Stakes
of 10 sous each, with 100 added, for foals of 1861; colts,
Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b. Winners extra. One mile.

Betting-7 to 2on Fille de l' Air.
The non•favourite made play for a quarter of a mile,
when he was headed by the French filly, who came on with
a clear lead to the stand. where Wells made his effort and
got to her quarters, but was beaten after the semblance of
a race by a neck.

The Southdown Stakes of 5 soya each, with 50 added ; for
2-yr-olds and upwards ; weight for age ; with selling
allowances. T.Y.C., three-quarters of a mile. 9

subs.

Mr J. Graham's Iscoid, 2 yrs, sst 7lb (Z 10) ( Wyatt) 6
Betting-7 to 4 agst Doublet, 100 to 30 each agst Prince
Lee 800 and Wicket.

The start was delayed by the breaking away of Wicket,
Iscoid, and the Miss Lavinia colt ; the two former believing
it a start, rode their horses home past the post. When the
flag was lowered Prince Lee 800 with the favourite on his
right got away in front, having Coafusion and Wicket im-
mediately in their wake to half-way up the hill, when the
Prince appeared in difficulties and was headed by Doublet,
who was joined at the stand by Confusion. From this point
the race was left to the two, but the old ono was beaten
easily by a length; a bad third. The winner was bought
in for 95 guineas, and lscoid was sold to Mr Slather for 31
guineas.
The Marine Plate of 100 sous (Handicap), added to a
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs.each, for all ages ; winners extra ;
