This Railway, of the length of 161 English miles, will con-
nect Dunaburg. the terminus of the Riga and Dunaburg
Railway, with Viritepsk. The Line passes throu.:h one of the
most productive districts of Russia, furnishing a large pro-
por ion of the exports from Riga; and, in facilitating the
transport of produce of the rich and wheat growing pro-
vinces of Smolensk, Mohilew, as ursk, and Orel, will prove of
the greatest importance both to England and Russia.
In consequence of the absolute impossibility of forwarding
goods at certain seasons of the year, and the very heavy
charges at all times, a great pert of the produce of these lat-
ter provinces has hitherto been almost lost to exportation, or
ava !able only in sea ons when the markets of %I estern
Europe were approaching famine prices. Tne transport of
the colonial and foreign produce required in this part of the
interior, effected hitherto, to a great xtent, at heavy charges
from St. Petersburg, will be carried on by means of this Rail-
way from Riga to Witepsk direct, and be thence distributed.
There will also be a considerable passenger traffic, as the
above-named provinces are amongst the most populous of
the empire. This Railway will be the only convenient and
expeditious route for the inhabitants both to St. Petersburg
and Western Europe.
The Russian Government, attributing special imrortance
to the early construction of th s line, has granted a cmaces-
sion of the most favourable character, embracing privileges
never before obtained.
Among the distinguishing features of the concession are
the following :-
Ist. The Company is to be constituted according to English
law, with the Board of Direction in London, and an Agency
of three Directors in Riga.
2d. the Government guarantees the interest in sterling
money, not, as in previous cases, in roubles.
3d The Government a so guarantees an additional sum
payable half yearly, on the capital of £2,600,000, sufficient to
redeem the whole capital at par in 85 ye •rs.
4th. Both the Interest and the sinking fund are payable
half-yearly t fixed dates.
sth. The net receipts of the line are appl cable in relief of
the Government Guarantee ; but the Compady is authorised,
in priority, to set apart 10 per cent. of such net receipts, to
the extent of £lOO,OOO to form a reserve fund agsinst contin-
gencies.
6th. The shareholders are entitled to all net profits of the
line, up to 6 per cent., on the nominal
nitagilor-eosf£_
They are further entitled to one-half of capital

A contract for the execution of the line of railway. by the
30th Novemher, 1867, with all necessary stations, buildings,
and works, and for the supply of rollin ? stock, according to
the specifications and requirements o' the Government, has
been entered into by the concessionaires with Mes-rs. Peto
and Betts, under the superintendent • and with the approval
of Mr Hawkshaw, the eminent civil engineer, for a sum of
£1.755,915. An arrangement has also been conclued, by
which that contract, together with the concession. is to be
made ever to the Company for the sum of £48,00, which sum
covers all preliminary expenses incurred in Russia and in
England, in connexion both with the concession and the
caution money of £130,000
By these arrangements .the cost of the undertaking, as
shown by the subjoined statement, has been brought within
a sum of £2,143.615.

From the above statement it will be seen that the

will yield, on the above outlay of £2,143,615, a net revenue'
at the rate of 6 per cent., independently of the amortisation

It Is cuntemp'ated to take power in the Articles of Asso-
ciation to issue Deb ntures in relief of the

An arrangement has also b en made with the Contractors,
by which it is anticipated that a section of the line will be
opened by the 30th November, 1866, from which source a
saving ~f £40,000 may be anticipated to the Company on the
item of •°interest during construction.
The Share Capital will be
paid off at par by annual draw-

entered for a plate, is at zoo in racing circles. Ranger,
who was nowhere in the Derby, wins as hard, if not a
harder, race in France with ease; and Tim Whiffler, said
to be another Eclipse in his speed and powers of staying,
or, we should rather say, powers of going, runs a dead heat
with Buckstone, and in the end Buckstone wins. Amid all
the din and clang of betting yest, rday Tim Whiffler was
the only horse who excited fear, and before whose name
the odds shrunk down to zero.

He walked quietly down the Course—beyond all doubt,
one of the most perfect racers that ever trod the turf ; and

The other horses, with the exception, perhaps, of
" Caller Ou," scarcely excited notice, though
Carisbrook went along with a stride which seemed
to promise that if running was wanted he would
cut out more than was agreeable for his oppo-
nents. The start was made, and Eleanor, who was to make
the running for Tim Whiffler, led at once at a fearful pace.
Quick as was the pace, however, Buckstone waited on Tim
Whiffier throughout. After half the race was run Eleanor
fell into the rear, having discharged her duty ; but, though
Tim Whiffier still led, Buckstone was not shaken off, and
step by step and stride by stride he gained upon the favou-
rite with a speed that was really wonderful to witness. Tim
Whiffler made desperate efforts to retain his advantage, and
kept Buckstone to his level as in a most exciting race they
rushed along, amid the cheers of thousands, and passed the
chair at such a pace as horses have seldom passed it before,
and without the difference of a fraction of an inch between
them. There was the usual confusion, and cheers and
counter-cheers for b th horses, whom the supporters of
each were confident had each won until the signal for a dead
heat went up. This even Sunning made the second contest
even more exciting. It was a wonderful race. Even after
the long course and awful pace of the first contest both ani-
mals ran splendidly, but the wonderful power of Buckstone
was not to be challenged by anythilig on the Heath that
day, and, though the race was close, yet it was with seem-
ing ease that Tim Whiffler was beaten.
A large force of the Metropolitan Police, chiefly from the
famous A division, was on duty on the course, and main-
tained the most perfect order. Berkshire, however, has a
constabulary of its own, and one would have thought that
the assemblage of 100,000 people under the eyes of royalty
was an occasion on which it might have been displayed.
Either, however, it had executed a retrogade movement upon
Abingdon—of course, from purely strategical reasons—or
was massed to overawe the turbulent population of llsley
Downs, or perhaps, having just lost its chief, who has been
promoted to the command of the City police, it has disbanded
itself, and only attended the races incog.—certainly not one
individual of the force could be discovered. and the result
was the greatest disorders all round the course beyond the
reach of the Metropolitan Police. The heath was fired
in several places, and in one case the flames extended
to a plantation of tall firs, which were entirely destroyed.
The gardens in the neighbourhood were overrun and plun-
dered, and no attempt was made to keep the road traffic
in order. If Berkshire is to support a police, there never
was more occasion for its service, and never were its duties
more conspicuously neglected.

slipped up and fell, giving Fordham a severe fall, and he
was immediately removed from the course, Ashmall at the
same time narrowly escaping a little mishap, his horse
coming down on his nose and knees, but was cleverly picked
up. These mishaps gave a long lead to Petersham, who
with the Glance colt went on with a long lead, followed by
Kangaroo to the mile-post, where Petersham bolted, leav-
ing the lead with Glance colt, who came into the straight
with a slight lead. Half way up Ashmall brought up the
favourite, and won in a canter by a length and a half.
Petersham was a wretched third. Kangaroo did not pass

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE CUP DAY AT ASCOT.

The glories of Ascot culminated yesterday. The year of
the "dead heat," the year of the first visit of the Prince
and Princess of Wales, will long be remembered as having
brought together the moat brilliant assemblage that ever
mustered on this picturesque heath, will long be remem-
bered as marking the transition period when Ascot, like
the Derby, begins to yield to the invasion of railways and
the Democracy. Already Ascot is changed from what it
used to be—a great fashionable promenade, where ladies
thronged the course—when Ascot meant a real picnic, with
the races as an excuse for making it. It had all these ele-
ments yesterday, but mixed with them were others which
showed that the popularity of the great race is extending
its influence beyond the limited circle of the Upper Ten
Thousand. The Ascot is to the Derby what genteel comedy
is to broad farce. All London goes to the Derby ; only the
West-end goes to Ascot. Little dolls and false noses have
scarcely penetrated the fir-clad hills which surround the
heath. A "spree" at Ascot takes the form of a sumptuous
dejeuner even the itinerant Bedouins, who lead a life of
races, are subdued in tone and gesture, and make more
money by selling beautiful bouquets than with "card and
pencil " The very niggers feel the softening influence, and
the Derby melodies, as broad as they are long, become at
Ascot chansons comiques of irreproachable propriety and
dullness. There are gipsies, and " three rows a penny"
prosper in a mild and genteel way; but acrobats, we should
think, must tumble from a pure love of art or from such
philanthropic motives as form their own reward, for,
assuredly they get but very little other. We find none
of the characteristic features of the Derby Day at Ascot,
except in their mildest and most aristocratic forms—it is a
large fashionable party on the heath, a party which as-
sembles on the Cup Day to "meet everyone one knows.'
Yesterday, indeed, alll the fashionable world were per
sent, and since the " Cup" was first run for there never
has been such a gathering on the Heath. A great number
came down by the South-Western, where, considering that
there was the usual anxiety displayed by everybody to go
by the first train, matters were admirably managed, and
those who were fortunate enough to get early seats suddenly
derived the greatest enjoyment from witnessing the un-
availing efforts cf others to procure the same accommoda-
tion, though, as is not unfrequently the case, while they
themselves were disappointed suitors they had quite failed
to regard the little scramble from such a jocose point of
view. At last, however, all were comfortably got off, and
soon, which is saying a great deal when it is remembered
that there were upwards of 5,000 more visitors went down
Ly rail on this occasion than have ever been despatched on
any previous Cup Day, Of course, a very large number
also went by road, but these were Ascot road visitors. No
doubtful teams and overloaded vans—no "gay" animals
with vicious eccentricities; no jibbing brutes, capable of
indefinite entanglement with the traces on the shortest
notice, and always ready to back into the stream of vehicles
behind. In their stead were the well kept barouches or
stately four-in-hands crowded inside with ladies, whose
oyerflowing toilettes bloomed out of the windows in soft
piles of ineffable millinery, looking in brightness and in
colour like the loads which are despatched by nurserymen
to take first prizes at a flower show. The Stand was
crowded, not only in the Stand itself, but in the enclosure
in front—so thronged that there was little more than stand-
ing room in any part of it. Even the minor and supple-
mentary Stands on either side were filled before one o'clock
in the day, and thousands who were willing to pay for
seats sought for them everywhere in vain. Never probably
on any Cup Day has there been a more brilliant or a more
aristocratic assemblage. The fun of the course was en-
tirely of the quiet and recherche order we have indicated.
There were a few fluent sharpers in gorgeous liveries like
my lord's best-kept best serving man, who had been
suddenly ordered by their noble masters to leave
the carriage and sell sovereigns for sixpences—a mode of
doing good and benefiting the community which might be
singular, but, as they avowed, was not less praiseworthy, as
indeed the country people seemed to think until they made a
purchase. There were monkeys in wonderful toilettes and
ample crinolines, like Lady Gullivers iu Brobdignag ; there
were well-dressed ballad-singers, with here and there quick
little men, all eyes, wno drove a furtive trade with peas and
thimbles, supported by a man in gaiters and broad-brimmed
hat, and generally counterfeiting honesty, who won all the
money, and grinned from ear to ear in true agricultural

but after running a few strides Gem of the Sea, going in the
centre of the course, drew in advance, having Perseverance,
Vindicta, Erin-go. Bragh, and the Senorita colt as her im-
mediate followers, the latter lying wide on the stand side.
On reaching the Stand Gem of the Sea drew away ; the
Senorita colt at the same time took the second place, but
failed to reach the leader, who won very cleverly by a neck;
half a length between the second and third. Etin-go-Bragh
was fourth, Perseverance fifth, Brother to Rubini sixth,

The Orphan, lying wide on the left, took up the running,
with the favourite in the centre, having Knight of Snow-

third and fourth. Glendusk was fifth, Procella sixth, Rose..
neath seventh, and Baldwin next. The last three were

Eleanor, for the purpose of serving her stable
companion
immediately rushed to the front, and made play at her best
pace, the favourite going on second, with Carisbrook and
Buckstone third and fourth, and Hurricane and Caller Ou
lying away. On passing the Stand, Buckstone ran past Mr.
Boyce's colt, and went on in waiting upon the two leaders
to the foot of the hill, where the pace somewhat decreased,
and on approaching the lime kilns Tim Whiffler joined his
stable companion, the pair running in company to the old
mile post, where the filly was disposed of, and was seen
in a few strides after in the extreme rear, leaving the
command with. Tim Whiffler, who came on with a
decided lead to the road, where Buckstone drew for-
ward, Carisbrook still lying third, Caller Ou at the same
time quitting her rearward position, and taking the fourth
place. Rounding the bend for home the two leaders ap-
peared to get upon closer terms, and as they approached

favour, as the two ran locked together to the end, remain-
ing equal until the fiat of the judge (who was unable to
separate them) was made manifest by the exhibition of the
numbers 4 and 5 side by side, making it a dead heat.
Hurricane, who ran past the others, who pulled up, was
placed third by the judge, although beaten off a long way.
The other trotted past the post at similar intervals. The
race wad run in 4 min. 381 sec.

road, when Vigil went to the front, made the rest of the
running, and won in a canter by half a length ; two
lengths between the second and third. Rockley was

from the centre and came on with a clear lead oir the stand,
waited upon by Sister to Queen of the Vale, Battaglia, the
Mary Copp colt, the Miss barah colt, and Aunt Judy to
the enclosure, where the two leaders singled themselves out
and finished a fine race home, the Baron's filly winning in
the last stride by a short head. There were two lengths
between the second and third, King George was fourth,
Langford fifth, Miss Sarah sixth, and Linda next. La

authorised to negotiate with the authorities of
Bethlehem. Those gentlemen not only did not
desire to leave their present building, but they had
❑o authority whatever to part with it.
Mr. BAGGALLEY (the treasurer) begged to state
that the a.uthoritirs of Bethlehem Hospital did at a
General Court affirm the principle that they were
anxious to go into the country. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. ADAMS replied that no such proposition from
those authorities had ever been placed before that
court.

The PRESIDENT then rose and said he wished to
claim the indulgence of the Court while he briefly
adverted to a letter which appeared in the news-
papers of that morning, and which was deserving
of some attention, inasmuch as it had reference to
one of their own body, and also to other mat-
ters concerning the proceedings which bad taken
place between the hospital and the rail way company.
The letter referred to charges made by the surveyors
acting for the hospital in its recent disputes with
that company. When he saw Mr. Tite (to whom
the letter personally referred) he asked that gentle-
man whether he would like to make any statement
to him as President of the hospital ; and after con-
sideration Mr. Tite had authorised him to state, in
answer to the allegations contained in the letter,
that the charges said to have been made by the sur-
veyors were by law payable, not by the hospital but
by the railway company, that the amounts were to
be settled by the arbitrator, who had not to the pre-
sent time given any decision or any opinion what-
ever on the subject. In justice to Mr. Tite he (the
President) had to state that that gentleman had never
taken one shilling for any professional services ren-
dered to the hospital during a long period of years ;
and that when he was requested to assist the go-
vernors with his professional advice, and to give evi-
dence on their part in this case, he told the treasurer
that whatever sum might be paid to him by the rail-
way company would be given to increase the en-
dowment instituted by him in that hospital several
years ago for the encouragement and promotion of the
medical school ; but that he would decline to receive
i❑ this case, as in all previous cases, one shilling
from the funds of the hospital in any way whatever.
Mr. ELLIOTT asked wnether the statement just
made by the President was intended to be an answer
to the statement published in the newspapers ?

The PRESIDENT—Quite so.
Mr. ELLIOTT said he hand no hand whatever in
writing that statement, but ne begged to ask whe-
ther it was not the fact that £B,OOO had been
claimed for professional services, which must be
paid by somebody, either by Bethlehem Hospital or
by that charity ? Was it not the fact that £1,050
had already been paid out of the Hospital fund
to Mr. Hunt, who would not wait ? He was too
good a judge to stand all those protocols that had
had passed. Was it not a fact that Mr. Tite had
made a claim ?

Mr. TITE begged to be heard. He knew nothing
of these statements. He had nothing whatever to
do with them. He was asked whether he would
give evidence to the court ; he said yes, but upon
one condition, that whatever sums might be awarded
to him for his services (and he saw no reason why
he should work gratuitously for a railway—(hear,
hear)•—he should be permitted to hand it over to the
fund he had some years ago created for the promo-
tion of the medical school of the hospital. It' there
must be an arbitration so must there also be sur-
veyors on both sides. This had been thecase in the
present instance, and charges, had been made on
both sides, which charges were now under the con-
sideration of the proper parties appointed for that
purpose.

Alderman SYDNEY, without wishing to suppress
anything that might assume the character of a
charge against any member of that court who might
be fairly amenable to such charge, yet he would on
that occasion prefer hearing the report of the Grand
Committee.

Mr. BROOKES thought if there was anything in
the nature of a charge against Mr. Tite, that gen-
tleman being so wall able to answer for himself,
the sooner the charge was answered one way or the
other the better it would be for all concerned.

Mr. ELLIOTT said he only intended to offer a few
words that might have afforded some vindication of
a statement which had evidently been written by a
man who knew a great deal about the matter on
which he was writing. That letter broadly stated
that a claim had been sent in for 1;740 by Mr. Tite,
and by Mr. Clifton (as we understood) for £740, he
having been up to a recent period a partner of Mr.
Tite.

Mr. TITS denied that that gentleman had ever
been his partner, or that he had ever been connected
with him in any way. He was an honourable and
honest man, but if he had received £lO,OOO for his
services he (Mr. Tite) would have had nothing to
do with it.
The subject then dropped, and

The general report of the committee was read. It
stated that on the 20th of January last the Grand
Committee communicated to the governors the par-
ticulars and plans of seven sites :-1. Bethlehem
Hospital ; 2. Fishmongers' Company's land, Wal-
worth ; 3 and 4. Surrey Gardens; 5. Land behind
Newington Church; 6. Myatt's Ground, Camber-
well New-road ; and 7. Lambeth Thames Embank-
ment. The Grand Committee reported that they
expected the concurrence of the general court,
that it was useless to press their negotiations with
Bethlehem Hospital further. At the same time the
committee did not regret the delay which these
negotiations had occasioned, the object being to
benefit two great charities. The Fishmongers' Com-
pany's land had been disposed of; the land behind
Newington Church was a site possessing great ad-
vantages, and there was no doubt that it was only
second in value to the site of Bethlem Hospital ;
but the Court had been already informed that it
could not be obtained without Parliamentary com-
pulsory powere, and the committee had been ad-
vised that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to
obtain such powers. In respect to the Lambeth
Thames Embankment that proposition had been
withdrawn. The Surrey Gardens were two feet
below high-water mark, and contained about 141
acres, but there were about 40 houses in the neigh-
bourhood which when purchased would increase the
quantity of land to about 17 acres. There was no
difficulty likely to occur with the parties to whom the
land belonged, but at the same time it was appre-
hended that great delay and large expense might
be occasioned by reason of the number of persons
whose interests would have to be purchasedi•

ofs £26,500,40 acres might be purchased at the same
rate of £1,325 per acre. This site was 21 mi es from
London and Blackfriars bridges, and rather a less
distance from Westminster bride. It was within
the radius that seemed to have been prescribed
by some of the parishes. The land at Newing-
ton available for a hospital was about 14 acres. It
was situated nearest to the ancient site and would
have the advantage of a frontage to a new road con-
necting Kennington and Westminster bridge roads.
It was about the same level as Bethlehem. The
estimated cost, in the event of compulsory powers
being obtained, would amount to 190,000. The re-
port concluded by giving the statistics of the tern
porary hospital at Surrey-gardens. From Sept. 15,
1862, to March 31, 1863, inclusive, there had been
215 accidents ; 90 of those patients would appear to
have come from districts north of the Surrey-gar-
dens, extending to Wandsworth, Vauxhall, Clap-
ham, Camberwell, &c.; and 7 patients came from
