YORK AUGUST MEETING.—`WEDNESDAY,
Wednesday and Thursday are considered the great days
at York both as regards aspect and attendance. The rain,
which came on with a steady downpour this morning, soon
after Mr. Tattersall commenced to sell Col. Towneley's
yearlings, considerably interfered, however, with the latter.
Ot the racing, the same reason that precluded lengthened
details yesterday will operate to-day, and we most leave
the telegraph to tell the tale of the Great Ebor. The result
of the Two-yr-old Biennial proved the correctness of public
running, Linda having the race in hand from the first, and
winning with consummate ease by two lengths, Apennine
finishing in the same place he did yesterday. The Ebor
St. Leger was credited to the account of Lord Glasgow,
and the itawcliffa Stakes, for which Procella was made a
warm favourite, was won easily by Lard Zetland's Sara-

gossa.
The Londesborough Cup of 50 sovs, added to a handicap
stakes of 5 sovs each, for all ages. Three-quarters of a
mile. 13 subs.

David Ann, Topsy, Calliope colt, and Flash filly.
Betting-2 to 1 agst Bertha, sto 1 agst Merry Hart, 6to
1 each agst Cellarius, the Calliope colt, and Little Pippin,
10 to 1 agst any other.
Merry Hart made play, closely attended by Topgy,
Bertha, and Cellarius to the half-mile post, where the
forraer was headed by Bertha, who carried on the running
to the bend, when Topsy rushed to the front, and came on
with the command to the distance, where Lord Stem-
ford's filly once more appeared in advance, followed by
Cellarius, Merry Hart, and Balderstone. These positions
were retained to the end, Bertha winning with ridiculous
ease by three lengths, four lengths separating the second
and third; Merry Hart was *fourth, Anonyma fifth, the
Calliope colt sixth, and the Flash filly next. Little Pippin
was last.

The favourite, lying next the rails, was the first away,
having Apennine in the centre, with Alice Fauconberg,
Beatrice, Prince Arthur, and the Phemy filly lying in a
cluster at her heels. They ran thus for a quarter of a mile,
when Alice Fauconberg, in company with John Scott's two,
disappeared from the front. Apennine at the same time
joined Linda, followed by Prince Arthur and Mr. Merry's
filly to half-way in the distance, when Challoner let out
the favourite, and won in a canter by two lengths; double
that distance divided the second and third, and half a length
separated the third from the fourth. Mahometan and
Beatrice, side by side, were the next; Jeu de Mot was last,
beaten off a long way.

tain Crow and Melrose, lOU to 3 each agst Trust and Old-
ruinster.
Shortly after starting, Bellman, making use of his favour-
able weight, rushed to the front, and made play at his best
pace, Golden Pledge going on second, Carisbrook third,
with Clarior, Captain Crow, and Brighton, nearly abreast,
the extreme rear being brought up by Oldminster and
Trust; passing Dringhouse's Golden Pledge joined Bellman,
and somewhat improved the pace, the pair drawing away
several lengths in advance of Captain Crow, Brighton,
division, who were closely followed by the Monk, Piccador,
and Melrose to the turn by the woodside, rounding which
Golden Pledge ran up to Bellman, who was in difficulties
as they neartd the three-quarters of a mile post, and shortly
afterwards his new owner's showy colours were raise°
Clarior, and Carisbrook, Golden Pledge then came o
with a commanding lead, having Captain Crow, Piccador,
The Monk, Oldminster, and Trust as his immediate fol-
lowers to the bend into the straight, where the two last
named came through their horses, and came on at the
girths of Mr. Hudson's colt to the distance, where, the
weight telling upon Oldminster, he gradually gave way,
and half way down was out of the race. Golden Pledge
maintained his advantage to the enclosure, where little
Marson, reserving himself for a final effort, headea the
Captain, and for a brief period appeared to be catching the
leader, but, dying away shortly atter, he was beaten easily
by two lengths ; four lengths between the second and third;
Piccador was fourth, and the Monk fifth; then came
Clarior, Carisbrook, and Oldminster side by side; next the

Representation of the Montgomeryshire
Boroughs.

The nomination of candidates took place at Mont-
gomery on Tuesday.
Mr. J. P. WILDING, of Montgomery; proposed
the Liberal candidate, the Hon. Charles Hanbury
Tracey, and was seconded by Major DREW, of
Newtown.

The Rev. R. I. HARRISON, of Caerbowell, pro-
posed Captain Charles Vaughan Pugh, who, he
said, as the son and brother-in-law of former repre-
sentatives, had strong personal claims upon the
electors.

Mr. M. L. JONES, of Welchpool, seconded the
nomination.

Mr. '['RACY then addressed the electors. After
referring to his career as a naval officer, and the
benefits that had accrued to the country from free
trade, he said that, if returned, he should give his
support to any well-conceived measure of economy
and retrenchment. He was of opinion, however,
that our land and sea forces should be maintained
in a state of the most perfect Efficiency, and that
onr sea coast should be adEquately protected by
fortifications. He was opposed to compensation
being made for any losses sustained by the aboli-
tion of church rates. He sympsthised with the
Southern States, who were struggling for indepen-
dence, and he approved the policy of the present
Government.

Captain PUGS then expressed concurrence in
most of the sentiments avowed by his opponent.
He differed from him on the subject of church
rates, which he should not like to see abolished ex-
cept for an equivalent.
A show of hands was taken, and decided to be in
favour of Captain Pugh.
A poll was then demanded, and was fixed to take
place yesterday.
The polling took place yesterday, which resulted
in the return of Mr. Tracy, the Liberal, by a large
majority. The numbers were—for

The 93d Sutherland Highlanders.

The following letter, in reference to the losses
sustained by this fine regiment at Peshawur, says
the North British Daily 2llail, has been addressed
by the Commander-inLehief of the Forces in India
to the officer commanding the regiment. It speaks
in the highest terms of the discipline and conduct
of all ranks throughout the trying ordeal through
which they passed. In the midst of disease or battle
the conduct of this favourite and distinguished
regiment is above all praise, and while it earns such
encomiums from the military authorities of India,
its "thin red line" at Balak:ava is imperishably
connected with the fame and history of the late
Lord Clyde, as its entire career is with the triumphs
of the British army on every great battle-field :
is REGIMENTAL ORDERS.—Sealkot, 21st M 837.—The fol-
lowing letter is published for general information :—Adju-
tant-General's Office, Head-quarters, Simla, 11th May,
1563. Sir,—l have the honour of submitting to his Excel-
lency the Commander-in-Chief your confidential report of
your inspection of the 93d Sutherland Highlanders, for
the second period of 1362, in the general observations at-
tached to which you gave a short account of the regiment
for the few months preceding your inspection, during which
it suffered very severely from repeated attacks of cholera.
His Excellency perused your report with very great inte-
rest. The Commander-in-Chief sympathises deeply with
the regiment in the loss they have sustained in the late
Major Middleton, an officer for whom his Excellency
had personally a great regard, and of whose ability
as a commanding officer he had a very high opinion.
His excellency also regrets extremely the deaths
of Lieutenant-Colonel M`Donald, Ensign Drysdale,
and Assistant-Surgeon Hope. It is most gratifying to the
Commander-in-Chief to learn that the conduct of all ranks
throughout that trying season was so admirable, and that,
notwithstanding the adverse influence of cholera and fever,
the drill and discipline of the 93d Highlanders did not suffer
in any way—a state of things which reflects the greatest
credit on Major Burroughs, the officers, and non-commis-
sioned offlecis and men of this very distinguished regiment,
in whose welfare his excellency takes the greatest interest.
His excellency has had great pleasure in making known to
his Royal Highness the Field •Marshal Commanding-in-
Chief the excellent conduct of the regiment, and his very
favourable opinion of it; and he has also made special
mention of the devotion, ability, and excellent service of
Dr. Munro, not forgetting the valuable assistance he derived
from his subordinates.--Signed IlExuY TORILENS, adju-
tant-general ; GEORGE RoE FENWICIi, captain, acting •

BUENOS AYRES, July 5.
The signal defeat of Penazola in Cordova by the
Government troops has restored peace to the entire
country. The revolution in the Uruguay Republic
is also fast dying out, and the National Govern-
ment, with prospects of a permanent peace, is deter-
mined to push the cotton enterprise ahead.
The currency question still occupies much atten-
tion, and several plans are proposed for its refor-
mation. One is that tho public sands should be
sold, and thus reduce the amount of paper in circu-
lation. It is stated that Government is about to
apply for a loan in England, for the purpose of
making the paper dollar payable in specie at a fixed
rate. Immigration is steadily on the increase, and
scarcely a day passes without fresh arrivals.

Business is very dull, and money unreasonably
dull. Ounces rule at the same rate us on the sailing
of the English mail. Freights are dull, as cargoes
are very scarce, and the report that the Alabama is
at the month of the River Plate keeps many Ame-
rican vessels which are already laden from leaving
port. Monte Video advices say that an American
man of-war, said to be the Onward, carrying 18
guns and 150 men, has come down in search of tl.e
Alabama, but serious doubts are entertained as to
her being able to take such a formidable privateer.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil bas
directed a circular to the presidents of the different
provinces, directing them to prohibit the entry to
any of the ports of the empire of the above vessel,
she having infringed the articles contained in the
circular of Ist August, 1861. _

BAiltA, July 25.
The demand for sugar continues, particularly for
browns and superior qualities of whites ; sales of
the former have been effected at 1,800 dols. to 1,900
dole, per arroba, at which prices are firm ; for good
whites 2,400 dole. to 2,430 dole. has been paid;
ordinary descriptions are neglected, and sales have
taken place at various prices down to 2,000 dole.
Stocks in first hands are nearly exhausted; with
exchange at 261 d, sugar stands in 17s 2d to 18s ld,
and 18311 d to 22s 10d per cwt, free on board, freight
excluded. Stocks of cotton are insignificant; several
hundred bales have been sold at 19 dole, per arroba
for exportation. Supplies of coffee come unsparingly,
a few hundred bags have appeared at market and sold
at 5,800 dols. to 6,000 dols. per arroba. Of cocoa there
is none in the market. No sales of hides have trans-
spired; former prices are 147 rs. per pound for dry
salted, and ISOrs. for dry; rum continues 65d015.
to 70dols. per pipe. No sales of tobacco have
transpired, and dealers continue to make shipments
on our account rather than submit to losses here.
Freights for the Channel are 275. 6d. per ton.
Exchange transactions have taken place at 261 to
27. 90 days' takers are beginning to think of re-
mitting gold instead of bills.

PERNAMBUCO, July 30.

Sugar receipts continued trifling, and prices of
whites have declined 200r5., and yellow qualities
10Ors. per arroba. Stocks are small; channel
browns remain without alteration. Price of cotton
have ruled at 20.500d015. to 20.600d015. per arroba,
for fine quality. The prices of dry salted hides
rule from 155 rs. to Mrs. per lb. Freights for the
Channel, 30s. to 31s. 31 per ton, with 5 per cent.
primage. Exchange to the extent of £45,000 have
been passed on London for this mail, at 27 to 27k
per milrei, 90 days' sight. Discount by the bank is
10 per cent. per annum for four months' bills.

The East India, China, and Australian

Mails.

The Peninsular end Oriental Company's steam-
ship Ripon, Capt. E. Christian, arrived at South-
ampton at 10 a.m. yesterday with a heavy portion
of the abovenamed mails, in charge of Mr. Fisher,
of the General Post-office. She brought 99 pas-
sengers (viz., 39 first-class, 46 second, and 14 chil-
dren), among whom were Lord and Lady Somers,
Sir C. Lindsay, Major Leigh, Captain and Mrs.
Hearsey, Captain Dudley, Captain Colville, Captain
M'Allister, Captain Hamond, &c. On freight she
had £50,452 53. 2d. in specie, 634 bales of silk, 6
bales of cotton, 7 cases of plants, and 161 packages
of sundries.

The Ripon left Alexandria on the 7th inst.,Malta

the 10th, and Gibraltar the 14th. Fine weather
was experienced from Alexandria to Finisterre ;
thence across the Bay of Biscay, strong northerly
wind, with heavy north-westerly sea ; and in the
Channel light winds, with thick, rainy weather.
On the 16th she signalled the screw steamer Ellora,
off the Burlings, with the outward Bombay mails.
The Egyptian fleet and the French frigate Per-
drix were off Alexandria when the Ripon left that
port.

Her Majesty's ships Hibernia, Cossack, Malacca,
Surprise, Growler, and Boxer were at Malta, and
the Trident at Gibraltar.

Senor Matamoros, the Spanish Protestant, who

CHARGE OF SCUTTLING A SIIIP.—The captain
and mate of the ship Earl of Derby were arraigned
at the Liverpool Assizes yesterday on a charge of scuttling
that ship at sea. The prosecution, however, was withdrawn,
and the prisoners discharged, as the counsel for the prose-
cution said he found they had not sufficient evidence to se-
cure a conviction.

ANOTHER MURDER 1N TIPPERMY.—NENAGH,
Sunday Evening.—Last night about 10 o'clock, a
servant boy named Michael Nowlan, was stabbed in the
thigh at the upper end of Pound-street, in that town. He
died this morning at 6 o'clock. Had he been attended to
an hour earlier that he was by a medical gentleman, it is
considered he would have survived the injury, for he had
almost bled to death when found lying at the end of the
pound-house. The doctor (Surgeon M‘lieogh) being im-
mediately sent for, did all that medical skill cculd devise.
When Nolan found there was no hope of his recovery, he
declared that he had been stabbed with a knife by a baker
named Michael Flannery, who lived in the house next to
that where he was discovered. There was a quantity of
blood outside the door of the accused. Flannery has been
remanded to the county prison for further examination by
Mr. Fleming, R.M. The inquest will not be held until to-
morrow, in order to afford rile police, thee to collect evi-
dence, which up to this is very vague in the ease. Flan-
nery bears an excellent character as an inoffensive aad in-
-IY^wo.

The Insurrection in Poland,

(REUTERS EXPRESS.)

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 14.
The Invalide Busse of today publishes the reports
of Russian officers of various engagements which
have recently occurred in the liovernments of
Kowno and Grodno, at Wielokoebagno, in the vil-
lages of Ignalki and Makarowo (district of Bialy-
stock), at Lipniki near Labludowo, near the town
of Oviia upon the Narew, where M. Prussakow, a
Cossack officer of rank, was killed, in the forest of
Brzedzicyew near Hiani (district of Kowno), in the
forest of Konnavow (same district), in the village
of Kekety (district Kosienic), at Klikol (district
Schawle), at Metzkuny (same district.); and, lastly,
at the village Barbilicheki, where a Russian colonel
was hurt.

Yesterday's Inrahcle says—".lnsurgent bands
continue to assemble upon the frontiers of Galicia.
We have not, however, learnt that any fresh attempt
at invasion has taken place."
The Russian papers announce that lamentable
conflagrations have taken place in the city of Kiew,
the loss incurred being estimated at 2,000,000 f.
The Courrier of Odessa states that the capital
of the English company which has undertaken to
construct the railroad between Moscow and Sebas-
topol amounts to 156 million roubles (624,000,000 f.)
The chief engineer of the company, Mr. Bartle,
is now engaged in examining the route and pre-
paring the plans.

CRACOW, Aug. 15.
The C:as of to-day publishes a report of the in-
surgent leaders Cminewiez and C wick, addressed
to the National Government, giving the details of
a victory gained over the Russians in the Govern-
ment of Lublin. Two Polish detachments engaged
a Russian column composed of three companies of
infantry and a sotnia of Cossacks, for six hours,
near the villages of Bepultyche and Pokrowka.
The Russians were successfully dislodged from
three strong positions, and retreated in the greatest
disorder to Krasuystaw, leaving 90 dead upon the
field, and having hidden 60 more in a village inn,
which they set on fire. The number of the Russians
wounded was also large, including the military
commandant of the district of Chelm, and Major
Buchner, who put the Polish wounded and prisoners
to the torture at Rybezowice. This brilliant suc-
cess cost the Poles 14 killed and 39 wounded, among
whom were two officers, MM. Korsynski and
Koczerowski.

The Czas also publishes the following intelligence
from Warsaw :—" Two companies of Russian in-
fantry, While passing through the village of nue-
zyn, near Siedlce, intercepted a large quantity of
brandy, and in their intoxication pillaged an adja-
cent country house. A farmer of the village, Adbm.
Lisekiewick, was seized, garotted, and cruelly mal-
treated. His sister only succeeded in escaping
death by taking refuge in the grounds attached to
the villa. The aged mother of the proprietor fell
upon her knees before the image of the Virgin, im-
ploring her protection, but was followed and beaten.
by four officers with the butt-ends of muskets. The
troops pillaged and destroyed everything upon
which they could lay hands. They stole 28,000
Polish florins in bank notes and bills, and as much
more in gold and silver. The priest of the village
and several of the inhabitants were left completely
destitute. The entire damage done is estimated at
200,000 florins."

GENERAL WINDHAM AND LORD CLYDE.—When
a sufficient number of troops had been organised,
Sir Colin took the field and marched to the relief of Luck-
now, where Havelock and Outram, who had gone to the
relief of the beleagured garrison, under Sir John Inglis,
were themselves being beleagured in turn. He was com-
pelled to leave a force under General Windham for the de-
fence of Cawnpore; and the troops he took with him, though
sufficient for the relief of the place, was insufficient for its
occupation in the face of a turbulent and warlike popu-
lation. He forced his way, however, into the garri-
son, relieving them from the storm to which they
had been subjected for several months ; and then
feeling the necessity of abandoning the town until
insurrection in the rest of India was quelled, he
organised a plan of retreat by which the garrison, the
civilians, the women and the children, were brought out of
the palace and through the streets of an extensive town
filled with an entirely hostile population without the loss of
a man or without the insurgents being able to comprehend
what was going on. Having placed them in safety, he made
a rapid march back to Cawnpore, where his presence was
sorely needed. For Windham had allowed himself to be
drawn out of his entrenchments by the Sepoys, and had
fallen into an ambuscade, where he suffered a reverse which
well nigh destroyed the prestige of the British army in
India at that most critical period. The troops ere retreat-
ing in confusion, sorely pressed by the enemy, when Sr
Colin, with a small detachment, galloped acres the brides
that spans the river there, and retrieved the fortune of he
ktzper.
