SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON RACES-THURSDAY.

A stiff breeze and a promise of rain, combined with a not
over-attractive bill of fare, tended to considerably diminish
the numbers on the Downs to-day. Indeed, the Club-day
never attracts the general public equally with the other two,
and the attendance is, therefore, principally limited to
owners of horses, those horse sportsmen to whom racing is
almost the end and aim of their existence, and the business
fraternity, to whom a race is a mere subject of speculation,
and nothing more.

We regret to add that the slight hopes entertained during
the day about Drew's probable recovery were not destined to
be realised. He expired between 6 and 7 last evening, hav-
ing remained in a State of insensibility to the last.
A Plate of 100' soya, given from the Brighton Race Fund,

Lady Derby, who took a decided lead halfway up, and won
very cleverly by half a length. Blanche of Lancaster was
second, two lengths in advance of Keane ; Indolence was
fourth, close up, The winner was bought in for 130 guineas.

Tonio, with a slight lead, made the running into the bot-
tom, where he was disposed of. The favourite at the same
time took a slight lead, which he held to the enclosure,when
Alcibiade caught him, the pair finishing a fine race home,
which was won in the last stride by Alcibiade by a head.
Tonio was a bad third.

After a couple of failures the flag was lowered, the lot,
with the exception of Cadiz and Toy, getting away upon
equitable terms, the favourite, next the rails, having a
slight lead, waited upon by Atlas, Dictator, Isabel, and the
St. Rosalia filly, nearly in a line into the bottom, when
Atlas went to the front and came on with a decided lead,
the favourite lying second, l sabel third, and the St. Rosalia
filly next, to the Stand, when the latter rushed past her
horses, but failed to reach Lord Westmoreland's colt,which

away's rider to make play, who, when the flag was lowered,
came away with a clear lead, followed by Mother Bunch,
the favourite lying on the inside, with Seaboy on his whip
hand, and Rigolboche next, to the foot of the hill, where
Cutaway dropped b,ck, and his place was taken by his
stable companion, who, with Seaboy and Rigolboche, sepa-
rated themselves from the ruck and came on together, the
favourite winning very cleverly by a length ; a bad
third; Overcast was fourth, Pelios fifth, and Coeur de
Leon next ; the last three were Jennette, Elise, and Play-
thing.

AMERICA.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
(Arrival of the Jura.)
LIVERPOOL, Wudoesda3%

The Canadian mail steamer Jura, Captain Aston,
from Quebec on the 25th ult.,arrived in the Mersey
this evening. A telegraphic summary has already
been published, and the Portland and Quebec jour•
nals contain little detail of any particular interest.
The p -Ten; from New York are no later than those
already received by the Sidon.

We extract the following despatches from the
New York Tribune's Harper's Ferry letter of the
21st ult.—" The main body of our army is 25 miles
month of Berlin. It is not impossible that they will
return to Berlin. Lee lies between Martinsburg
and Winchester. His pickets occupy the Potomac
River from Cherry Run, 13 miles west of Martins-
burg, down to Harper's Ferry. On Friday night
they drove in our pickets at the Ferry. They are
in force at Sheppardstown, Martinsburg, and
Charleston. The rumour that Lee has crossed into
Maryland is unconfirmed. The latest official infor-
mation leaves the two armies watching each other
—the rebels on the west side and the Federals on
the east side of the Blue Ridge. (Later).—Lee's
army was in motion at three o'clock this morning
in the direction of Winchester. Four hundred rebel
cavalry attempted to cross the Potomac last night
at Nolan's Ferry with the intention of making a
raid on the railroad, but their designs were frus-
trated. The rebel cavalry have made their appear-
ance in the vicinity of Langley, near Chain Ridge.
There are rumours of an important movement on
the Upper Potomac."
The Washington Star thinks that Lee is aiming
at a junctioa with Bragg and Johnston, to attack
Rosencranz, with a prospect, in case of defeat, of
the remains of the three rebel armies retreating
across the Mississippi into Texas or Mexico.
The Washington Republican contains the follow-
ing :—" From the best information at'hand it ap-
pears that Lee's army is near Winchester, or above
that point, while our army occupies such a position
that he cannot get to Richmond without fighting at
a disadvantage. General Lee is either holding
bis position to gather supplies from the crops in the
village, or with the aid of such reinforcements as
he may have obtained, to give another battle, or
series of battles, to the army of the Potomac. We
may expect stirring news from General Meade's
army soon."
A Washington dispatch says :—"The relative
situation of the army in the valley as understood,
is as follows :—General Meade has the Confederate
army entirely entrapped. He is evidently massing

forces to break his way through to Richmond, but
it will probably be a more difficult undertaking
than the one at Gettysburg. After all the delay
there is now not much prospect of Lee being able
to get his army back to Richmond, or even as far
as the upper end of the Shenandoah Valley."
A Chambersburg dispatch of July 3, says:—
" Lee left Winchester with his staff yesterday
morning in the direction of Middleburg and Stras-
burg. Imboden's force is known to be guarding the
mountain passes near Bath. Lee's heaviest force is
now in and around Winchester. He has been re-
inforced from Lower Virginia and North Carolina
by a force, reported at 10,000, under D. H. Hill."
The United States steamer Circassian had arrived
at New York from Charleston, with advices to the
19th ult. A general engagement was just com-
mencing as she left. General Gilmore had erected
a masked battery in the woods, quite near Fort
Wagner, and expressed no doubt bat that the
attack by himself and Admiral Dahlgren would
prove successful. As the early morning shadows
disappeared the attack began, and a perfect shower
of shot and shell was poured into Fort Wapner.
The Petersburg (Virginia) Express of the 23d ult.,
referring to the cavalry expedition sent out by
General Fester, says :—" The Yankee raiders burnt
the railroad bridge overTarßiver near Rocky Mount.
They destroyed the depot at that place, tore up two
miles of the track, burnt 5,000 bales of cotton, and
a large cotton factory. The bridge over the Tar
River was on the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad, and was about 300 yards long. They also
captured a train of cars, which contained two car
loads of ammunition and 30,0001 b. of bacon, which
were destroyed."
It was rumoured at Washington that General
Grant was to be made a major-general in the regu-
lar army. It was also reported at Washington that
Johnston was about to surrender to Sherman or
Grant, but it was impossible to get it authenticated-
" Philadelphia, July 23.

" The Council have negatived the bill appropriat-
ing 500,000 dollars to pay exemptions for drafted
men. The vote stood-18 Democrats for the bill,
and 18 Republicans and 4 Democrats against it. A
bill was subsequently passed, appropriating 1,000,000
for relief to families of drafted men."

" Cincinnati, July 23.

" Morgan crossed the Muskingum River at Eagles-
port, 18 miles below Seanesville, at ten a.m. Scouts
report his forces 1,000 strong, with three pieces of
artillery. Colonel Lemont, of the 86th Ohio, sent
his regiment and a large number of militia after
him.

" Colonel Chandler, of Seaneaville, and 25 citizens
(scouts), were captured at Deerstown last night.
" The latest reports from Eaglesport say that the
86th Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel M'Far-
land, is fighting the Confederates, and driving them
up the river towards Seaneaville. This is not en-
tirely reliable.
" Business is suspended at Seanesville, and the
citizens are turning out en name to resist Morgan's

progress.
" Morgan (this p.m.) was in Guernsey Co., near
the Central Obio Railroad, and supposed to be mak-
ing eastward for the Ohio River."

FROM THE SOUTH-WEST.
" Memphis, July 21.

" General Hurlburt's scouts arrived to-day from
Okalona, Mississippi. They report Johnston at
Brandon, and Sherman in possession of Jackson.
" The Confederate generals'—Chalmers, Saun-
ders, and Ferguson—forces are at Tripoli.
"Ruggles is concentrating his forces, with the
intention probably of making a dash on our lines.
" Correspondence from Bragg's and Johnston's
armies represents them in a state of great destitu-
tion, and greatly demoralised. They give up their
posts and advise planters to stay and make the best
terms possible. Our scouts report that the majority
of the planters are anxious that we should get pos-
session of the country before Jefferson Davis has
time to conscript them.

Johnston's army is estimated at not exceeding
30,000.
" Great consternation exists throughout the
Southern country.
"The reports of our successes at Natchez, YfiZOO
city, and Jackson, are fully confirmed. Llirge
amounts of ammunition of w
ar has fallen into our
hands with those places."

ARRIVAL OF THE EDINBURGH.
LIVERPOOL, Thursday.
The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Corn
pang's screw steamer Edinburgh, which left New
York on the 25th ult., arrived in the Mersey this
morning. A full telegraphic summery of the ad-
vices by this arrival has already appeared.
The New York Herald of the 25th ult. gives the
following as the situation of affairs at that date :
" The latest accounts of the movements of the
armies of General Lee and General Meade are to
the effect that they are both moving southwards.
All rumours that either of them had recrossed the
Potomac prove to be entirely without foundation.
Both armies are reported to be north of the Rappa:
hatmoek, where a great battle is very likely to
