YORK AUGUST MEETING.—TrEsDAr.

The gathering on Knavesmire, that prelude to the great
Northern event which it is supposed so much to influence
and foreshadow, has this year been denuded of none of its
usual attractions. The entries for tee two-yr-old Stakes,
such important features at this meeting, have kept quite up
to the mark as regards both the number and character of
the an,rn ds entered, the Convivial alone boasting S 8 nomi-
nations, while the anticipated presence of Queen Bertha,
Lady Augusta, Marigold, and the Ranger, among the
three-yr-old division, and the probable meeting of such
animals as Maccaroni, Carbineer, Tim WLifller, &e, in the
Cup gave promise of contests that should he worth record-
ing, and fields that would afford the industrial community a
profitable return for their labours.
One drawback there has been, in the small number of ac-
ceptances fur the Great Ebor, rendering it a bad betting

Judge average 11 on each day, we think the keenest sports-
man must be satisfied with the entertainment provided.
Two or three days' rain, too, had made the " going"
necrly eeerylhing that could be wished, and caused York
to bo about the first meeting distinguished by the absence
of dust. The walks-over for the Juvenile and Black Duck
Stakes introduced the Two-Year-Old Convivial, for which
a dozen appeared at the post, Appenine a very fine colt of
Mr. Jacques's, being made a warm favourite at 5 to 4.
After some delay a good start was effected, and, coming
well together to the distance, Claremont and the two
next placed singled themselves out, and a pretty race re-
sulted in favour of Claremont by a neck. The Burgundy
was an easy victory for Lord Glasgow—and then th,
Yorkshire Oaks, rendered interesting by the presence of
Lady Augusta and Marigold, and for which the former
was considered the deadest of certainties, added one
more example to the many "mistakes" in racing, by the
winner turning up in an outsider and the favourite finish-
ing a bad fourth. The company was more select than
numerous, and the weather fine.
The &eland Stakes (handicap) of 5 sovs each, with 50
added, for all ages. The second to save his stake. One

Globule, in company with Entrement, Lady of Coverham,
the favourite, Stampede, and the Little Hannah colt, made
the running, with the others lying close in their track, with
the exception of Welcome, who appeared to get badly off.
On reaching the T.Y.C. post Globule disappeared from the
front, and Entrement was seen in advance, but shortly after
she was headed by Lady of Coverham, attended next the
rails by Ophelia, Erin-go-Bragh, Anonyma, and Doncaster
almost abreast to the half-distance, where Lord de Freyne's
filly was disposed of, and in a few strides further she was
joined by the favourite, leaving Doncaster in attendance
upon the 2-yr-old to the Stand, when Fordham went to the
front, and won clearly by a neck, Lady of Coverham beat-
ing Erin-go-Bragh by a head for the second money, Ano-
nyma was fourth, close up; the others beaten off.

After a protracted delay at the post, the advanced flog
was lowered to an admirable start, Harvest Melt, lying in
the centre of the course, was the first off, and with Dur-
ham, the favourite, the Phemy colt, and King George made
the running to the distance, where Claremont (who being a
slow beginner, lost considerable ground at the start) im-
proved his position, and on reaching the stand he, in com-
pany with Mr. Merry's filly, joined the favourite, the three
running closely locked to the chair, Mr. Bowes's colt, who
appeared to run the longest, winning cleverly by a neck,

THE NAVY.
VALETTA, Aug. 14.—Her Majesty's' despatch
vessel Psyche, 2, Lieut.-Commander R. Sterne, ar-
rived this morning from Constantinople, the Piraeus,
Suds Bay (Caudill), and Calamata. She had been
relieved at Constantinople by her Majesty's vessel
Caradoc, 2, Lieut. Commander E. H. Wilkinson.
She left the Marlborough, 121 (bearing the flag of
the Vice-Admiral Commander-ire Chief R. Smart,
K.H.), Capt. C. Fellowes, at Suda Bay, on the 11th
inst., where there was also a Turkish squadron,
The Marlborough, with the Trafalgar, 70, Capt. T.
IL Mason, had left the Piraeus on the Bth inst. for
a cruise. The St. George, 84, Capt. the Hon. F.
Egerton, left the Ph mus ou the 6rh inst. for Nau-
plia. The Queen, 74, Capt. C. F. Hillyar, was still
at the Pirmus on the Bth, with the Meeanee, 60,
Copt. G. Wodehouse, the Icarus, 11, Commander
N. Salmon, V. C., and the Orlando, 46, Capt. Ra-
nolph, which last-mentioned vessel arrived there on
the 3d inst. from Malta. The Magicienne, 16, Capt.
W. Armytage, which left Malta on the 7th inst.,
had also joined the Commander-in-Chief. The Fox-
hound, Commander IV. H. Anderson, was likewise
on the Athens station. On the lonian Islands and
west coast of Greece station there were the Revenge,
73 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. R. Yel-
verton, C. 8.), Cept. the Hon. F. A. C. Foley ; the
Liffey, 39, Capt. G. Parker ; the Pelican, 17, Com-
mander P. Brock ; and the Waederer, 4, CoMmander
M. C. Seymour. The Revenge bad visited Calamata
and Cerigo, and when last heard from was bound to
Zante, Cephalonia, and Corfu. The Firefly, 5, Com.
A. L. Mansell, had received orders to leave Corfu
for Zinte and Patras. The Psyche brought down as
passenger the Rev. A. G. Berry, formerly chaplain
to the Liffey. She also brought news of the
death of Lieut. Frederick H. Blair, of the Tra-
falgar, which occurred after an illness of only three
days. The following foreign vessels of war were
lying at the Piraeus at the date of the last accounts:
French—the Redoubtable, 90 (bearing the flag of
Rear-Admiral Touchard), and the Zenobie, 38.
Italian—the Re Gelantuomo, 80 (bearing the flag
of Rear-Admiral Vacca), and the Costituzione, 8.
Austrian—the Novara, 50 (bearing the pend4nt of
Commodore Tegaihoff), the Frederich, 22, the See-
hoand, 4, and Kerka. Turkish—the Broussa, 22.
Greek—the Hellas, 28. The Helloes and two other
Greek vessels were being got ready to be despatched
on the 13th of August to Toulon, to embark there
the young King George I. and convey him to
Greece. All was quiet at Athens. Her Majesty's
iron paddlewheel vessel Weser, 6, Commander A.
H. L. John atone, and the screw ganboat Cockatrice,
Lieut.-Commander R. M. Gillson, were still on the
Danube and Constantinople station. The Chanti
deer, 17, Commander C. Stirling, was on the coast
of Syria. The Phoebe, 35, Capt. 'l'. A. D. Fortescue,
arrived at Alexandria on the 4th inst. from Bey.
rout, and has since left that port under sail for
Malta. Her Majesty's screw corvette Cossack, 20,
Capt. W. IL Rolland, left the Malta dock on Mon-
day, and steamed round the island to try her re-
paired screw shaft, which was found to answer ad-
mirably. She left port about 10 a.m., and returned
at 4 p.m., and towed out the Malacca, 17, Capt. G.
J. Napier, which immediately afterwards made sail
tor the north-east, for a cruise in the channel. The
Malacca returned to the mouth of the harbour on
Tuesday, and Wednesday reported herself to the
Admiral, and stood out to sea again. Tnis morning
signals were made for her to re-enter port, orders
having come out to send her instantly to England.
These orders were quite unexpected, as it was be-
lieved that the legal proceedings before referred to
would not necessitate her proceeding home, at
any rate for some time to come. Things have
turned out otherwise, and she will leave to-morrow.
Her Majesty's surveying vessel Growler (tender to
the Medina, Capt. T. A. B. Spratt, C. 8.) left port
on Monday afternoon, under the command of Mr.
Stokes, R.N., master of the Medina, on surveying
service in the Malta channel. The Hydra paddle
sloop, which is to replace the Medina, is expected
out here from Woolwich about the middle of Sep-
tember, under the command of Lieut. G. R. Wil-
kinson, who is at present at home on leave. On her
arrival Capt. Spratt will assume the command, and
the other officers and crew of the Medina will be
transferred to her. Her Majesty's iron paddle.
wheel sloop Trident, 3, Commander C. F. Balfour,
has been ordered from Gibraltar to Malta. Her
Majesty's screw gun-vessel Surprise, 4, Commander
W. H. Whyte, is under orders to take the mail ex-
pected to-night from Marseilles to the commander-
in-chief. The Cossack will probably be sent up to
the Piraeus with the next mail, and thence to the
coast of Syria. The only ships in port are—The
Hibernia, receiving ship (bearing the flag cf Rear-
Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8.), Commander R. B.
Harvey ; the Cossack, the Malacca, the Medina, the
Psyche, the Surprise, and the Boxer (tender to the
Hibernia).
The Black Eagle yacht with the Lords of the
Admiralty and their staff arrived at Falmouth, on
Monday, on an official visit, and were received by
Capt. Grenfell, of her Majesty's ship Russell, the
coastguard ship of the station. After the usual in-
spection, the Duke of Somerset and the other Lords
made a survey of the breakwater and docks which
are in a forward state of construction at that port.
The undocking of the iron-cased ship Caledonia,
officially announced to take place at Woolwich at
the end of the present month, is now ordered to he
deferred until the arrangements for her reception
in the basin are completed. These may probably
extend over a period of two months or more, as the
works can only be performed at low tide by reason
of the coffer-dam having been driven away by the
flood. The armour-plating of the sides has been
completed with great success, the only portion of
the iron-casing now remaining to be affixed being
the end plates, which require much care and inge-
nuity in bending.
Her Majesty's screw steam corvette Clio, 22 guns,
1,472 tons, 400 horse power, Capt. Thos. Miller,
arrived at Sheerness from the Pacific on Monday,
and was inspected by Vice-Admiral Sir George R.
Lambert,K.U.B., Commander-in-Chief et Sheerness,
and staff. She will be paid out of commission in a
few days. Tho Clio was fitted out at Sheerness in
July, 1859, by Capt. Miller, and since that time has
bon employed on the Pacific station, most of the
officers who went out with her still remaining in
the ship.

The Itleruit, 6, iron paddlewheel store ship, 590
tons, 160 horse power,Commander F. Cottam, which
has recently been refitted at Chatham dockyard,
arrived at Sheerness on Saturday. She has since
coaled, taken in powder, and been swung for the
adjustment of her compasses. Her final trial trip
measured mile off Maplin
will take place at the
Sands on Thursday next, previous to her departure
for the West Coast of Africa, to which station she
has been appointed.
The Snipe, 3, screw steam gunvessel, 431 tons, 80-
hor,© power, Commander A. H. W. Battiscombe,
has completed fitting for sea, and will be taken for
trial rtt the measured mile off Maplin Sands on
