presidency. It is, however, very improbable that
their services will be required. The Governor-Ge-
neral has determined on proceeding to Rangoon, to
judge of the state of the affairs for himself, and sails
on board the Feroze steam-frigate, which was hourly
expected at Calcutta.
" The new Commander-in-Chief, Lord F. Fitz-
clarence, is expected in October by way of the C ape.
The Ajdaha, which left this on the 25'h of June
with the mail of that date, returned on the 13th inst.,
having run short of coals when within 700 miles of
Aden ; her mails will go home by this evening's
steamer. A court of inquiry appointed to investi-
gate the case is said to have blamed Commander
Barker for want of judgment in returning ; and he
has teen reprimanded by w Government accord-
ingly. We shall have no steamer from Bombay
direct for the next five weeks, and overland letters
must make the detour of Madras. Serious appre-
hensions are entertained iu reference to the steamer
Zenobia, which left Moulmein for Madras on the
14:h of June, and has never since been heard of ;
as no tempest has since then swept the bay, nor any
weather occurred of which a fine new steamer need
have been afraid, it is feared she may have been burnt
at sea. Trade is comparatively dull, and the money
market overstocked."

CALCUTTA.
(From the Englishman of July 12.)
The past week has been a dull one in all the branches
of our trade, both import and export. No change has
occurred in the aspect of the sugar market, whichas h is kept
well supplied. Saltpetre is quiet. Safflowerb
shipped to the extent of 787 innards since the Ist inst.
Rase silk remains in active request, but the supplies are
still scanty. Very little lass been done in silk piece
goods. The high rate of exchange checks business in
lacdye and shell lac. The hide market remains active.
Linseed and mustardaeed have been largely exported.

attention for China.
Our import market remains much as it was, and the
accounts from the north-western provinces are not of a
more favourable complexion. Gray shirtings have lost
1 anna per piece in 40's. The lower reeds of white
shirtings arc saleable at current low rates. White Ma-
dopollams are neglected, and the gray kinds have fallen
6 pies per piece. White jaconota have further given way
2 annas par piece. Lappets are out of season. Book
muslin are without report of sale. Those purchased in
the previous week were taken for Arracan. In Turkey
red goods mulls are lower by 4 annas per piece.
Prints and chintzes are in season and selling at full
prices. Woollens are more inquired for. Mule twist
has been placed to a fair extent, but without any im-
provement in value. Turkey red yarn is much in the
same position in which the previous week left it. The
speculative demand for copper sheathing has ceased.
Iron is little in demand, but maintains its value. Speller
and tin plates are without report of sale. 135 mauuds
of sheet lead have been placed at sicca rupees 6.8 per
maund.
Exchange has had an upward tendency since the mail
left, and on Saturday first rate credits were freely offer-
ing at 2-li.
Freights have fallen back about 2s. 6d. per ton on
sugar and saltpetre.
The Money Market is still well supplied, but the terms
on which loans can be procured are less easy than they
were, most of the idle capital which glutted the market
having been absorbed. The Bank of Bengal has de-
clared a dividend at the rate of 84 per cent. per annum
for the first six months of 1852,

ANALYSIS OF THE LEAMINGTON STAKES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The Leamington Stakes—now iu its twenty-
ninth year, having been established in 1824, when it
was won by General Mints, then four years old, carry-
ing Bst 61b—for sixteen years, never tell to the lot of any
thing handicapped under 7st 71b. Since then (1839) it
has never been won by any weight exceeding 7st; a cu-
rious fact for the dealers in coincidences, attributable,
however, I think, to the very different way they have of
manufacturing handicaps at the present time; for in
days of yore we sported nothing in the feathery depart-
ment of 4st. The records of the last seven years show
that the three, four, and five years old have pretty
equally divided the stakes amongst them. In 1845 Wee
Pet, then five yrs old, carrying Est 131 b, was the victrix.
The following year Gwalior, a four yrs old, with 6st 91b
up, WaS the lucky animal. In 1847 Giantess, 5 yrs,
Est 81b, was the winner, In 1848 Doctrine, 4 yrs, Est
11b; in 1849 Miss Ann, 3 yrs, sst 21b; in 1850
Doubt, 4 yrs, Est (carried 6st 41b); and last year
Goldfinder, 3 yrs, 6st 31b, respectively, were the first
past the post. Thus it will be seen, that during the last
seven years, with one exception, the winning weight has
been upwards of 6st; though in no instance exceeding
Est 131 b; therefore the light-weighted animals of any
account whatever have had the pull entirely in their
favour.

The Leamington Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft, &c.,
over the two-mile course, out of a rather strong entry,
has obtained eighty-and-twenty acceptances. Dilly's
stable has two—the top weight, Cariboo, 5 yrs, Bst 71b,
and Hirsuta, 3 yrs, sst 51b. The former, I believe, is a
non-starter—the latter the contrary; but whether Hir-
euta is capable of a feat equalling Arline'. is sernewhat
dubious. That she will run well may be expected, as I
believe she is.supporte
is d by the confederates. Russb?-
rough, 5 yrs, Bst 51b,not badly in, but I am afraid
his day has not arrived. Marlborough Buck, 4 yrs,
Bst 31b, has no chance whatever; ditto Montague, 6 yrs,
Bst. Lady Evelyn, 6 yrs, 7et 131 b,
makes Goldfinder,
Ephesus, Trickstress, Bushranger, and Paquette per-
fectly safe; notwithstanding I cannot altogether place
that implicit confidence in her which her immediate
friends and backers do; but as she will be ridden by
Nat it will not do to hold her too cheaply. It would be
curious, although scarcely probable, as the is decidedly
stale, should Doubt repeat her victories over this course.

Ibis. Terpsichore, 4 yrs, Est 411?, requires no imme-

rival of any note that Cleveland will have among the
light weights, Madeline being of no acccount.
In conclusion, it is my present opinion that the
struggle for superiority within the distance will be be-
tween Lady Evelyn, Storyteller, Cleveland, Hirsute, and
Hugo, and to the first or last named I must look for the
winning animal.—l am, Sir, &c.,

The distance in this and the following heat was from

and a close race for some time, when there arose a
tolerable gap between the two winners and two losers.

Permanent Cure of a Nervous Headache and Giddiness in the
Head.-111 r. Wm. Smith, of No. 5, Little Thomas-street,Lambeth, suffered for many years with a nervous headache and
giddiness in the head, which so prostrated his strength that he
had very little hopes of a recovery His disorders completely I
baffled the skill of several eminent doctors, who, it appears,
mistook his complaint for an affection of the spine, and he got
worse under their treatment. In desp,air,. and as a last re-
source he commenced taking Holloway s pills, which have had

the effect of restoring him to perfect health, and the prospect
of a hale and hearty old age.—Sold by all druggists, and at
