CHANTILLY AUTUMN MEETING.

The last day's running came off yesterday, and, consider-
ing that the card presented no feature of much interest, the
attendance was large. Tho business commenced with a
selling race, won by M. Voisin's Mlle. Duchesnois, who was
bought in by her owner for 4,505 fr., being 3,0001 r. over the
price at which she could b 3 claimed, As the stakes only
amounted to 2,300 fr., M. Voisin loses 700 fr. through his mare
winning. This was the more remarkable that he effected an
alm.st similar transaction on Sunday last, when the same
horse won the Prix de la Cascade. The Prix des Reservoirs
and Prix des Tribunes each produced good fields, and both
fell to the lot of outsiders, in the former an unfortunate ac

cident occurred to Arthur Watkins, who was riding the Duke
de Morny's Dinorah. On coming down the hill she fell,
and, rolling over, gave her jockey a severe blow on the neck
with her hoof. The Prix de la Foret, for two and three-
year-old horses, followed ; only one of the latter age started,
and having to give 32 pounds for a year, merely succeeded
in obtaining a third place. The day's running terminated
with the Prix de Consolation, which was looked upon as
a certainty for M. Schickler's Poudriere, against which the
shortest odds of 5 to 4 were laid ; she, however, obtained
only second place, the winner being M. 'Lunel's Fantasia.
The following are details of the day's proceedings :

AQUATICg,

BOAT RACE AT PUTNEY.

A scullera' race, which excited no small amount o: inte-
rest, was rowed yesterday from Putney to Hammersmith,
for £2O, and although the stake was comparatively small,
the very name of one of the competitors was sufficient
to draw together a vast concourse of epectators. The men
were William Lane, a watermari, of Westmtneter, who has
never figured in anything grand before, and Frederick Lett,
also a waterman, of Lambeth, but who has for a series of
years past been held as a fine sculler for his age, and has
won Daggett's Coat and Badge, Morris' Coat and Badge,
and money prizes to a great extent. Both the men are old
stagers at the business. Lane is fifty two years of age,
and Lett is forty-six ; both are about lOst 121 b, and
stand Mt 7in. -The Volunteer, Captain Ayres, at'ls
companied the race from Putney Aqueduct to Hammer-
smith-bridge with a good company, and she conveyed
Fred. Kelley, the referee ; F, Stevenson, umpire for Lane ;
and G. Drewett for Lett. The ex-champion, H. Kelley,
and T. Pocock showed up Lane and Lett respect:vely, Lane
having trained at Kelley's and Lett at home. Lett won the
station, and after ono false start and a lot of fiddling they
got off, Lett, upon whom the betting was 2 to 1 and 7 to 4,
making the rowing at so terrific a pace that lie was clear in
a hundred yards, and at Sieutuouda's two lengths ahead.
From here to the point Lane crept up, and rowing very
well and steadily was level at Craven. Lett did his utmost,
but he had now no more in him, and at the Crab Tree
things were reversed, and Lane led by more than a clear
length. Lett gave him no rest over the water, and was
over him at the soap-works; but as each seemed to strain
every nerve and muscle, it was evident that they were too
near home for Lett to get up, and he was beaten at Ham-
mersmith by only half a length.

The marriage of Baron GeDrges da Soub3yran,
menabar of the Legislative Body and Deputy-Governor of
the Credit Foncier of France, with Mlle. Marguerite de St.
Aulaire, was celebrated on Saturday in the Chapel of the
Legislative Body. The Archbishop of Paris officiated.
The Stampa declares that the Italian Ministry
intends to make the choico of Florence for the capital a
Cabinet question. The Ministers will not consent to the
prepc.ol concerning Naplee being taken into consideration.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

VALETTA, Oct. 12.—The commission, of which the Duke
of Somerset is chief, to inquire into the best site for the new
naval dock, arrived here at 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon,
on board the Admiralty yacht Enchantress, Staff-Comman-
der J, E. Petley, from Marseille:, Toulon, and some of the
ports of Sicily. His Grace is accompanied by Rear-Admiral
Drummond, Rear-Admiral Robinson, Mr Childers, his pri-
vate secretary; Capt. Hall, Mr Alfred Buckley, and Capt.
Hore, naval aide-de-camp to the embassy at Paris. Immedi-
ately on the yacht =eking her appearance between the two
forts at the mouth of the Grand Harbour salutes were fired
from the town and the flagship of the commander-in-chief,
and the principal ships of the fleet in port, consisting of the
Marlborough, 131, fl igship of Vice-Admiral Smart; Re-
venge, 73, flagship of Rear-Admiral Yelvert on ; Gibraltar,
81, Meeance, 60, Orlando, 46, Magicienne, 16, Chanticleer,
17, and the ironclads Royal Oak, 95, and Resistance,
18. A serious accident unfortunately occurred on board
the Marlborough, one of the men having fallen from
aloft. Mr Alen, Master-Attendant of Malta dockyard,
piloted the Enchantress into harbour, and she was admit-
ted to pratique by Capt. Hoseas.on, R.N., Superintendent
of the port. No sooner had she taken up her moorings
than Vice-Admiral Smart, Rear-Admirals Yelverton and
Austin, and the captains and commanders cf the flag re-
paired on board to pay their respects to the Duke of Somer-
set, as First Lord of the Admiralty. Major Brett, aide-de-
camp and private secretary to the Governor, also waited
on him on the part of his Excellency Sir Gaspard Le Mar-
chant, who late on the following day paid a visit to their
lordships. The Duke and party, accompanied by Admiral
Smart, yesterday inspected most of the ships of the fleet,
and expressed the highest satisfaction with their efficient
and orderly condition. They also paid a visit of inspection
in company with the chief naval authorities, to the creeks
and bays of the great harbour, paying especial attention to
the various sites pointed cut by different authorities as best
adapted for the wants and requirements of a large naval
dock. In the evening they accepted the Governor's invita-
tion to dine at the palace, where they were receiv,d by a
guard of honour. Their Lordships will land officially to-day
at half-past 2 o'clock, when there will be the usual salutes,
guards of honour, &c. Before taking their departure on Sa-
turday the local chamber of commerce and the elected mem-
bers of Council intend to wait on the Lords Commissioners
to make known their views regarding the proposed docks,
in so far as there may affect mercantile and local interests.
Her Majesty's gunboat Surprise, 4, left port on Monday for
Beyrout to provision the Cossack. Mr Hervey, R.N., in

valided from the Revenge) Mr Boddington, dismissed the
service for deserting from the Gibraltar, end Corporal Smith
I left by the Syria for Gibraltar and Southampton. The
Cecile yacht, having on board the Marquis and Marchioness
of Drogheda, left for Gibraltar on Oct. 11th. The Egyptian
steam frigate Brahimia, with 55 naval cadets, arrived a
short time ago, left on Sundry on a voyage of instruction.
She is to call at Marseilles and several English ports.
The Duke of Cambridge, Field Marshal Commanding-in-
Chief, accompanied by Sir Airey, Ccl. Clifton, and other
officers of his staff, arrived at Portsmouth at 2 30 p.m., and
drove to the Government house, the residence of the
Lieut.-Governor, Major-Gen. Lerd W. Paulet, C.B , under
a salute of 21 guns from the garrison batteries. After
luncheon the Duke rode out to Southsea common to witness
some combined military and naval evolutions to be carried

out under the superintendence of Mijar-Gen. Lord Paulet.

The supposed state of effiirs was that an army had effected
a landing cm the adjacent coast line, and had taken an im-
portant position and threatened Portsmouth thence. It was

therefore necessary for the garrison of Portsmouth to make
some cff.at, by sortie or otherwise, to recover the enemy's
position. The 6th and 7th brigades of garrison artillery,
with the 21st, 26th, and 64th Regiments, parading in the
"Governor's green," represented the main body of the de-

fenders under Major-General Lord Wm. Paulet, C.B. A
second body of the supposed beleaguered garrison, consist-
ing of the Royal Marine Light Infantry and the 69th Regi-
ment,were massed on the Colewort Barrack-parade, on the
opposite side of the town from that occupied by the Major-
General with the main body of the defenders. Outside the
walls of the town, and as a reconnoitring and advanced force
the Royal Marino Artillery and field batteries of Artillery
had taken up a position under cover of S..uthsea. Southsea
Castle was occupied by the 87th Regiment and the 3d com-
pany of Royal Engiceers, representing the ene.ny, under
Col. Murray, of the 87th. Immediately following the salute
which greeted the Duke's arrival at Portsmouth the enemy
threw out a strong line of infantry (87th Regiment) in
skirmishing order in advance on Southsea-common, and in
the direction of Portsmouth. 'rho garrison of Portsmouth
for some little time gave no sign of their knowledge of the
proximity of the enemy. Shortly afterwards, however, the
guns of the fortress opened on Southsea Castle and the ad-
vanced lino of the enemy, the Castle immediately responding.
This was followed by the sudden appearance of a screw gun
boat flotilla, and large columns of infantry debouching upon
Southsea-common from the south. Tho foe appeared to
contest every inch of ground they had previously occupied
in advance of their main position, but Lord William Paulet,
aided by a battery of field artillery, persistently drove
them back, and pushed forward his troops as rapidly as
possible, under cover of the guns of the town works. The
gunboats also closed in on the Castle. At this critical mo-
ment the heads of two columns could be seen by the enemy
emerging from the houses at Southsea. Moving at
the double they rapidly formed up on his right flank
under cover of some low walls, whence they opened a sharp
fire of rifles upon the enemy's right flank. The surprise to
the enemy caused by this flank movement comp'etely dis-
comfited him, as he was now encircled by a line of fire. Under
these conditions the defence of the enemy was but a question
of time, and after a few more rounds from the heavy guns
be hauled his flag down from the staff on the keep of the
work, and Portsmouth was saved. The whole of the troops
engaged afterwards marched past his Royal Highness, and
then, forming:in:line of contiguous columns, with Major-
Gen. Lcrd W. Paulet and staff, and officers and colours to
the front, advanced in slow time, halted, and lowered the
different colours with a royal salute, which closed the pro-
ceedings. To-day his R.,yal Highness, accompanied by
Lord William Paulet and staff, will visit the works on
Portrdown-hill, and to-morrow the western defences of the
port.

The 24th (Capt.W. S. Boileau's) company of Royal Engi
neers, which proceeds direct from head-quarters, Chatham,
to Devonport, has been inspected at Brompton barracks by
Major-Gen. Sir Robert Walpole, K.C,8., having been pre-
viously augmented to its full strength from the depot com-
panies at head-quarters. The 24th Rill embark at Ports-
natuth on board her Majesty's screw steamer Urgent, 4,
400 horse power, Capt. S. H. Hcnderson, which conveys
the company to Plymouth. A detachment has also been
selected from the companies at Chatham to join the 20th
company, which proceeds from Weymouth to the Curragh
Camp to relieve the 17th company, the latter returning to
Weymouth. The Ist company of Royal Engineers moves
from Devonport to Aldershot Camp to relieve the 23d com-
pany, which rejoins at head-quarters, Chatham, to prepare
for foreign service.

A general order bas been received at Chatham from the
Horse Guards, announcing that the examination in July,
1865, of candidates for admission to the Staff College will
comprise the following portions of military history and
geography :—Military History.—The Campaigns of the
British army in the Peninsula, in the years 1808 9 .10,with
a general outline of the operations of the Spanish armies so
far as they were calculated to influence those of the British.
Military Geography—The geography of Spain and Portu-
gal considered with reference to military operations. The
following works may be read with advantage, not to the ex-
clusion, however, of others, whether English or French,
which may throw light on the campaigns to be studied :
Napier's Peninsular War; Brialmont's Life of 'Wellington;
Gurwood'a Despatches of the Duke of 'Wellington (selec-
tion); Macdougall's Theory of War ; and Lavalbee's Mili-
tary Geography. Candidates will receive on application to
the secretary to the Council of Military E ucation a copy
of the synopsis of the studies pursued at the Staff College,
which may serve as a useful guide to them in-preparing
themselves for the examination.

A public meeting of inhabitants of Chatham, convened
by the High Constable in accordance with a numerously-
: gned requisition, was held yesterday for the purpose of
taking into consideration the great danger experienced by
the inhabitants of that town and the adjoining city of Ito-
phester from the close proximity of the large gunpowder
magaiztes and stores at Upnor Castle, and urging upon the
proper authorties the necessity of taking the necessary steps
for protecting the yes and property of the inhabitants of
the neighbourhcod. It was elicited that the powder stores
at Chatham are among the largest in the country. So vast
is the quantity at present in store that if an explosion were
to occur It would infallibly destroy the dockyards and naval
establishments at Chatham and Sheerness, an i spread ruin
and devastation in both places, Only some short rime since
the Upnor magazine had a narrow escape of heir g destroyed,
a fire having been discovered in one part of the establish-
ment, and this after some difficulty was extinguished. It
waf ultimately resolved to present a memorial to the Go
vernment to adopt such measures as might be deemed
necessary to prCvent the calamitous results of an explosion
at the magazines.

SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK,

POLAND.

A St. Petersburg letter, in the Botachafter of
Vienna, says :—" Events are assuming a more and
more eacting appearance in this country. The
Poles incorporated among the Russian troops cln..
toned in the provinces bordering on the Volga are
said to have formed a plot in conjunction with a
secret society of Rw-sians called .Nd iiitts. The
intention attributed to them is to burn all the

Review of the British and Foreign Corn
Trade.

From the Mark-lane _Express)
The continuance of another week's dry weather, though
serviceable to the condition of the grain and cleansing of
the land, has somewhat hindered the autumnal wheat
sowings; and those in the country who were in hopes the
late downfall would reach their wells have been disappointed,
a great want of water being still experienced in many places.
This state of things has had the same effect in France; while
in Germany there have been frequent and sharp frosts, with
a heavy fall of snow in Silesia. We are therefsre practically
reminded of winter's approach, though in this fickle climate
we may yet have bright and warm days before Christmas.
The discount pressure still being heavy it was unlikely we
could speak of brisk markets, and the state of our averages
show the point of depression we have now reached, say
388 9d, which may perhaps prove the minimum, as no fur-
ther diminution has occurred generally for a week past or
more, and in some places there has been an advance. Foreign
markets have nearly all been sluggish, there being so little
opportunity for export; but rates do not come down corre-
spondingly low to allow of any margin for export. In Franca
there had been a gradual and difficult decline. The Belgian
and Dutch markets have scarcely varied. At Hamburg the
obstinacy of holders shuts out all chance of profitable ex-
port ; and though the lower sorts of new wheat at Dantzia
have been continually declining, some sales of the best have
been mado at fully the farmer rates, and merchants there
prefer waiting to making any sacrifice on qualities suitable
for milling. In :he interior of Germany rates have under-
gone scarcely any change, and there seems little expectation
of any further reduction. The crop in Canada has turned
out much better than expected under the long prevalence
of drought, and growers are well satisfied. At New York
the constant fluctuations in the value of gold quite para-
lyse business, and vessels could be had at one third of a
common freight, say 2d per bushel.
The arrivals off the coast since Oct. 7 were 47 cargoes.
of which 28 cargoes were wheat, 16 maize, 1 barley, and 2
beans, Business was reported on the following terms ;
Taganrog Ghirka wheat at 35s 6d to 35s 9d, Galalz maize
at 26s 61 per qr.
The sales of British wheat noted last week were 100,070
qrs. at 38s 93 against 110,526 qrs. :n 1863. The London
averages were 40s 2d on 5,926 qrs. The imports into the
United Kingdom for the %seek ending October 8 were
739,193 cwt. wheat, 59,994 cwt. 41 Jur.
Monday in Mark-lane commenced on fair English and
good foreign supplies of wheat. During the morning bat
few samples were sent up from Kent and Essex, and as
most of the country markets exhibited some improvement,
factors commenced by asking rather higher rates, but in
this they did not succeed, as millers firmly resisted payirg
any advance. The sales that were eventually made were
only at the previous currency. The foreign trade was
steady, and holders more readily obtained the prices of the
previous Monday, On Wednesday there were 210 qrs. per
coast, and 4,190 qrs. foreign. There was then a quiet busi-
ness in some samples at the previous Monday's rates,
farmers apparently sending very reluctantly to such mar.
kets. The businees in foreign was on a small scale, but fine
qualities brought fully as much money. Friday's returns
were 320 qrs. per coast and 9,280 crs. foreign. The quantity
shown this morning was too small for any serious amount
of business, and in the sales that took place no change of
value was noted. Foreign samples of fair useful quality
went off steadily on the same terms,

There was a full average supply of country flour on Mon-
day, and fair arrivals from America. The country trade
was quiet, and inferior descriptions barely maintained their
prices; but good American barrels were read:ly saleable
at the previous currency. The top price of town made
remained at 40s per sack. On Wednesday there were 359
sacks per coast, and 30 sacks foreign. Business was
limited, but prices of first quality country marks were
firm, as they were also in American barrels, so few ship-
ments being made. Friday's returns were 490 sacks coast-
wise and 30 sacks foreign. Norfolke wero saleable in a quiet
way at about former quotations. Barrels were readily
placed, fine extra State at 21s and upwards. Tc,wn quota-
tions stood the same.

The barley supp'y on Monday was short both on British
and foreign arrivals. The best malting fully maintained
the previous rates, while medium and low grinding sorts,
both English and foreign, were somewhat improved in
value. On Wednesday there were 750 qrs per coast and
1,100 qrs foreign. The business passing in malting sorts
was small ; but previous rates were insisted on, and the
medium and low qualities were all fully as dear. Friday's
quantities were 810 qrs per coast, and 1,100 qrs foreign.
There was then no change in the market price of malting,
secondary and inferior sorts being all much the same as on
'Monday.

But little was passing in malt on Monday, but previous
rates were maintained. Prices remained without alteration
at the close of the week.

Thera were fair arrivals.of oats on Monday from the ports
of the United Kingdom, and another heavy foreign supply,
chiefly from Russia, Many of the Russian cargoes being
ordered to granary the pressure on the market was light-

cued, and some recovery from Monday's previous low rates
for Russian samples was experienced—say to the extent of
Gd per qr; but little improvement, however, was quotable
for other descriptions. On Wednesday there were no arri-
vals per coast, 1,860 qrs Irish, 25,120 qrs foreign. With

continuous good foreign supplies but little way could be

made in fresh arrivals, many of which were ordered to
granary; but holders were not disposed to yield anything
of Monday's advance. Friday's return were 146 qrs per
cast, 4,100 qrs from Ireland, and 30,5u0 qrs foreign. This
further increase made sales yet more difficult, as dealers
generally were pretty full; but with many still being stored
there was no reduction in values.

The bean supply on Monday was altogether very scanty,
both English and foreign. There was, however, but a slow
sale for all sorts, and in some instances less money was so.
cepted. There was no subsequent alteration.
