SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES.--TUESDAY.
The delightful change in the weather which has glad-
dened the hearts of agriculturists and done away with their
despondency at the thoughts of an ill-yielding harvest,
brightened also the prospects of the hundreds of visitors
sojourning on the coast of Sussex for the race meetings of
this and the coming week. Yet, the sky, clear as it was on
Monday, was not a cloudless one for the ducal house of
Lennox—the heads of that house were absent at the hour
of mirth, a family bereavement having called them away at
the moment when their hospitable halls were being thrown
open to the circle of friends usually invited for the races.
Sport and pleasure, nevertheless, held their accustomed
sway, the busy multitude wended its way across the beau-
tiful downs, and Good wood Races presented as gay a
scene as ever before the bugler on the summit of the stand
announced the starting of the horses for the opening event
of the day. Then the stand and lawn were filled with
such a goodly company as no other racecourse in England
can boast of ; the well-born lady could enjoy the national
pastime free from the crowding of the national mob, and
the gentlemen could see the horses as they passed without
being elbowed from their standing place by noisy plebians.
The first three events elicited simply a common observa-
tion—but the Stewards' Cup, with 34 numbers on the tele-
graph, created a very great amount of-interest. The light
weights played their customary pranks at the post, and
delayed the start till long beyond the time fixed for the fol-
lowing race to be run. At last the body of colours came
sweeping down the hill in a cluster, and a daughter of
Surplice. who was trained on this ground for his double
victory of Derby and St. Leger, won the handsome Stew-
ards' Cup of 1862. The Ham Stakes produced a splendid
contest between two good two-yr-olds, both by Voltigeur.
The rest were quickly run off, and a capital day's sport
ended at six o'clock, which enabled those returning to
town to catch the up-train from Brighton. The following
is a full description of the day's racing :
The Craven Stakes of 5 soya each, with 50 added, for 3-3 r-
olds and upwards; weights for age; with selling allow-
ances. 6 subs.
Baron Rothschild's King of Diamonds, 5 yrs (not to be
sold), 9st 91b
Mr. Naylor's Sawcutter, 4 yrs (not to be sold), 9st 61b
(Challoner) 2
Mr. Astley's Atherstone, 4 yrs (not to be sold), 9st 61b
(Fordham) 3
Mr. H. Savile's Reveille, 4 yrs (£1OO), Bst llb
(W. Cotton) 4
Betting-6 to 4 agst Atherstone, sto 2 agst Sawcutter,
and 3 to 1 agst King of Diamonds.
Reveille, in company with King of Diamonds, were the
first off, but, after running 200 or 300 yards, the favourite
went to the front, Reveille going on second, and King of
Diamonds, with Sawcutter at his girths, lying up, the pace
mending as they made the turn into the stz aight, Atherstone
coming on with a clear lead, waited upon by Sawcutter
and King of Diamonds, to the stand, where the latter
joined the leaders, and, on reaching the stand enclosure,
he got his head in advance, and ultimately won a fine race
by half a length, a head only separating the second and
third ; Reveille pulled up a bad fourth.
The Gratwicke Stakes of 100 sous each, h ft, for colts Bst
101 b, and fillies Bst 51b, with certain allowances. The
second horse to receive 200 soya, and the third to save
his stake. Mile and a half. 20 subs.

Lord Glasgow's Miss Sarah f (31b), Bst 21b (car. Bst 31b)
(Aldcroft) 1
Baron Rothschild's Gorse (61b), 7st 131 b.... (Fordham) 2
Lord Zetland's Piccador, Bst 101 b (A. Edwards) 3
Col. Towneley's Hubert (31b), Bst 71b (Bullock) 4
Lord Portsmouth's Villette, Bst 51b.... (H. Grimshaw) 5
Mr. Gratwicke's Ashford, Bst 101 b (Daley) 6
Betting--5 to 2 each agst Hubert and Miss Sarah f, and
3 to 1 agst Gorse.

After one failure, occasioned by Hubert, Villette, and
Piccador taking the wrong course, the fag was lowered to
an admirable start. Gorse immediately rushed to the front
and made a strong pace, followed in Indian file by Hubert,
Piccador, Miss Sarah filly, Villette, and Ashford, in which
order they rounded the far turn, where Hubert with Pic-
cador at his side gradually drew upon the leader, who on
rounding the turn for home gave way to Lord Zetland's
colt, who came on with a clear lead to the end of the rails,
where he was joined by Gorse and the Miss Sarah filly,
Hubert at the same -time dropping back. An excellent race

between the three ensued ; the Miss Sarah filly, getting her
head in front a few strides from the Stand enclosure, won
very cleverly by a length and a half. Piccador finished a
bad third, Hubert fourth, beaten off.
TheLavantStakes of 50 soya each, 30 ft, for 2 -yr. olds; colts
Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 31b ; winners extra. The owner of
the second horse to receive back his stake. Half a mile.
20 subs.
Baron Niviere'a Brick, Bst 71b (H. Grimshaw) 1
Sir H. Des Voeux's Taje, Bst 71b
Mr. R. Ten Broeck's Tornado, Bst 31b.... (G. Fordham) 3
The following also ran :--Soapstone, 'Escape, Stock-
broker, Catalpa colt, and Ireton.

Betting-9 to 4 agst Soapstone, sto 2 agst Tornado, sto
1 agst Taje, 7 to 1 agst Brick, and 8 to 1 agst Stockbroker.
Immediately the flag was lowered Taje went to the front
and came on with a slight lead, which he held for a short
distance, when he was joined by Brick, the pair alternately
leading, Soapstone, Escape, and Stockbroker being their
immediate followers. On reaching the stand the French-
man appeared to have a trifle the best of it, but Cnstance
making his effort at the same time brought his horse's
head level with his antagonist, and the:result remained in
doubt until the winner's number was exhibited at the chair,
Brick just landing the Baron's colours in the last stride by
a neck, Tornado, who came with a rush within a few
strides of the post, obtaining the barren honour of third, a
neck in advance of Soapstone ; Ireton was fifth, and The
Trapper sixth.
The Stewards' Cup, value 300 soya (handicap), by sub. of
10 soya each, with 100 added ; for 3-yr•olds and upwards.
T.Y.C. 77 subs.
Capt. Christie's Lady Clifden, 4 yrs, Bst 91b (Fordham) 1
Mr. Bevill's Alvediston, 3 yrs, Est 101 b (carried Est 131 b
(H. Grimshaw) 2
Mr. G. Lambert's Humphrey, 3 yrs, Est 71b .. • . (Doyle)
The following also ran :—King of Diamonds, Camerino,
Man at Arms, Palestro, General Hess, Wild Rose, Baron
Munchauson, Hesper, Silverhair,;Hartley Wintney, Mag-
giore, Gallus, Copernicus, Vancouver,Lopcatcher, Caliban,
Volunteer, Canary, Ellerton, Biondella, Ducat, Agag,
Lapidist, Enfield, Peignoir, David Ann, Entremet, Sport-
ing Life, Ace of Clubs, Bosh, and Wild Duck.
Betting-4 to 1 agst Volunteer, 11 to 2 agst Lady Clif-
den, 8 to 1 agst Humphrey, 10 to 1 agst Bosh, 100 to 6
each agst Ellerton and Ace of Clubs, 20 to 1 agst Ducat, 25
to 1 each agst Gallus, King of Diamonds, and Canary, 33
to 1 each Palestro and Hartley Wintney, 40 to 1 each agst
Man-at-Arms, Wild Rose, Copernicus, Caliban, Biondella,
Alvediston, David Ann, Sporting Life, and Wild Duck,
and 50 to 1 agat Hesper.

In consequence of the total disregard paid to the Starter's
order by the greater number of jockeys, upwards of three-
quarters of an hour was wasted at the post before Mr.
M‘George could despatch them upon equitable terms. The
first to show in advance was Hesper, who jumped away
with a commanding lead, having Humphrey on his left with
Lady Clifden on the rails on the upper side next, with
Ellerton, the favourite, Alvediston, David Ann, Hartney
Wintney, Biondella, and Bosh lying in a cluster in the
centre of the course in close attendance, the others headed
by Maggiore, Camerino, and Man-at-Arms, being a length
or so in their rear. With little or no alteration they ran
thus to the entrance of the rails, where Hesper was headed
by Lady Clifden and Humphrey, and in a few strides fur-
ther Grimshaw brought Alvediston to the front, but his
saddle afterwards slipping round he was compelled to take
a pull to steady his horse, and in consequence never fairly
reached the leaders until reaching the centre of the stand,
when he came with a rush and headed Humphrey, but was
never enabled to quite reach Capt. Christie's mare, who
won very cleverly by half a length, Alvediston defeating
Humphrey by a neck for second; Ace of Clubs and David
Ann, side by side, finished fourth and fifth, Volunteer,
Bosh, Hesper, Lopcatcher, and Ellerton heading the ruck
as we have given them, the last lot consisting of Canary,
Sporting Life, General Hesse, Silverhair, and King of
Diamonds beaten off a long way. Run in lm. 18sec.

The lot got off well together, and Monitor, after going
100 yards, took up the running, followed by Cachuca, with
Automaton on the off side, and Wild Tom and Curie next.
They ran in this order to the distance, where Monitor was
bee ten, and Curie passed Wild Tom ; a very fine race then
took place, and Cachuca won it by a neck ; Curie lost
second money by two lengths, and Monitor was a bad fourth.

DEATH OF CHARLTON, THE JOCKEY; We regret to
state that John Charlton, the celebrated jockey, died on
Sunday last, at Mallon, of consumption. It will be re-
membered that he rode Blink Bonny bathe Derby and Oaks,
when that mare achieved her memorable double victory at
Epsom, in 1857. Both the heroine and her rider on that
occasion are now gone—Blink Bonny having died at the
commencement of the present season. Charlton also
piloted Mincemeat when she won the Oaks in 1854.

THE ARCIL/EOLOGICAL INSTITUTE.

The Archeological Institute of Great Britain and Ire-
and commenced its annual meeting at Worcester on Tues-
day last. The proceedings began by a special reception by
the Mayor and corporation, at which Lord Talbot de Male-
hide resigned the presidency of the institute into the hands
of Lord Lyttelton, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and
the town clerk read a formal address of welcome to the in-
stitute. The Guildhall was decorated with banners and
devices in flowers and laurels, with the words " Welcome
to Worcester" in the centre of a floral device. Lord Talbot
was accompanied by Lord Neaves, the Earl of Enniskillen,
Sir Stephen Glynne, Sir Jervoise Clarke-Jervoise,
Sir C. Anderson, Sir R. Kirby, the Dean of Chichester,
Professor Willis, Mr. Octavius Morgan, M.P., and a con-
siderable body of the London members of the institute, in-
cluding many ladies. Lord Lyttelton was supported by the
Mayor of Worcester, Sir E. A. Lechmere (the High
Sheriff), Sir J. Pakington, Sir T. Winnington, Sir C.
Rouse Boughton, Sir C. Hastings, the Rev. Canon Wood,
and many other influential members of the county and city,
including. Lady Pakington, Lady Emily Foley, and many
other ladies. The address of Lord Lyttelton, accepting the
office of president of the institute, was supported by speeches
from Sir E. Lechmere, Sir J. Pakington, the Rev. Canon
Wood, and Sir C. Hastings, welcoming the institute on behalf
of the city and county. After the public reception a peram-
bulation was made throughout the city, when the principal
objects of antiquity and interest were examined. "In the
evening a meeting was held at the rooms of the Natural
History Society, where various papers were read illustrative
of the objects of the meeting, including one upon Pershore
Abbey by Mr. E. A. Freeman, in anticipation of the next
day's excursion to that place. On Wednesday the proceed-
ings of the day were commenced by a breakfast in the Guild-
hall, given by the Mayor to the members and friends of the
institute. After this, papers upon various Allbjeetg were
read in the sections of History and Antiquities by Mr. Foss,
the Rev. W. Stubbs, Professor Earle, and Sir Charles An-
derson. A large party then made an excursion to Pershore.
The little church of Pinvin was first reached, when its pe-
culiarities were pointed out by Mr. Parker, and the so-called
Saxon architecture suggested to be better described as early
Norman. At Pershore Mr. Freeman pointed out the re-
markable features of the church. In the evening Mr. Par-
ker pointed out some of the points of interest to be seen in
the next excursion, and Mr. Freeman read a long and ela-
borate paper upon Simon de Montfort and his times. On
Thursday upwards of 100 ladies and gentlemen went by rail
to Evesham, thence to Buckland and Broadway, and round
to Campden, where a magnificent collation was presented
to them by Viscount Carnpden. In the evening the
museum was lighted up for a conversazione, when the
remarkable collection which the institute has succeeded in
getting together was visited by a large number of visitors.
The museum is certainly one of the best of the kind
that has ever been formed. The proceedings of Friday
began by the reading of historical papers by the Dean o
Chichester and others, succeeded by Professor Willis's dis-
course upon the cathedral, which was received with grea
enthusiasm by a crowded audience. A brief sketch was
given of the early history of the structure, and the develop-
ment of the various styles of architecture which it displays.
Then the different changes which it had undergone, from
accident or otherwise, were adverted to in a most clear and
lucid manner. The great lamage the building had suffered
at the Reformation was pointed out, and the changes which
had been caused by their repair were indicated. The dis-
course was brought to a cbse by the profsesor's description
of the famous Guesten-lull, and the hopelessness of its
restoration except at an expense that could scarcely be jus-
tified. After the professor's lecture the company partook of
a sumptuous dejeuner, preiented by Sir E. A. Lechmere, in
the Guildhall. In the afternoon the party repaired to the
cathedral, where the professor illustrated the discourse ho
had given previous to the tejeuner. All the great points of
interest were carefully ermined, and the principle of the
extensive repairs in progeas was explained and justified.
The crypt was well lightd up, and the narrow spaces be-
tween the columns were olen impassable from obstructions
in the shape of dresses filch as the builder could never
have dreamt of. More Papers in the Historical Section
concluded a busy and molt entertaining day. On Saturday
the Historical Section again occupied with papers by
Mr. Bloxam and Mr. Pirsons. After this a large party
visited Great and Little vlalvern, and the various objects
of interest near. In the Lfternoon an excellent dinner was
provided at the Malvern :Auk Hotel,at which Lord Lyttel-
ton presided, and which vas attended by Lord Talbot, Lord
Needs, and the greater hart
of the company previously
Monday mwas occupied in the reading of
various papers in the Historical Section, including one upon
the chapter monuments ard other Worcester records by Mr.
Burt. After this a party started for Tewkesbury and Dere-
hurst and returned at a late hour after a most gratifying ex-
cursion. The proceeding of the congress, which has been
most successful in every :•espect, were brought to a close
yesterday by meetings for business Purposes, and a visit to
Lord Dudley's seat at Watley and Sir Thomas Winning-
ton's at Stanford Court.

DUELLING IN PAR"; IN 181.5.---Our countrymen
in general were very pacfic : but the most awkward cue •
tomer the French ever cane across was my fellow-country-
man the late gallant Col. Sir Charles s
, of the Engi •
I neers, who was ready fcr them with anything—sword
pistols, sabre, or fists—ht was good at all ; and though
never seeking a quarrel: he would not put up with the
slightest insult. He killed three Frenchmen in Paris, in
quarrels forced upon him. I remember, in October, 1815,
being asked by a friend to line at 13eauvillier's, in the Rue
Richelieu, when Sir Chimes
Rho was well known
to us, occupied a table at the further end of the room.
About the middle of the diner we heard a most extraordi-
nary noise, and on looking up perceived that it arose from
S—'s table ; he was en;aged in beating the head of a
smartly-dressed gentlemal with one of the lutg French
loaves, so well known to all who have visited France.
Upon asking the reason )f such rough treatment on the
part of our countryman, he said he would serve all French-
men in the same manner if they i'asulted him. The offence,
it seems, proceeded from the person who had just been
chastised in so summarye manner. He had stared and
laughed at S— in a rude way for having ordered three
bottles of wine to be placed upon his table. The upshot of
all this was a duel, whict took place next day at a place
Hear Vincennes, and in wlich shot the unfortunate
jester. When Sir Charles returned to Valenciennes, where
he commanded the Engineers, he found on his arrival a
French officer waiting to aNenge the death of his relative,
who had only been shot ten clays before at Vincennes.
They accordingly fought

shave himself or eat his bmtkfist, ho having only just ar-
rived in his coupe from Fait% The meeting took place in
the fosse of the fortress, anil the first shot from S—'s
pistol killed the French officer, who had actually travelled
from Paris for the purpose,

his fellow-travellers, of killin; an Englishman.—Gronote

FRANCE, ITALY, SPAIN, AND MEXICO.

letter from Paris says :—The French Govern-
ment has addressed, or is about to address, a
circular to the European Powers that have recog-
nized the Kingdom of Italy, urging the necessity of
a general Congress for the definitive settlement of
the affairs of that country. It dwells particularly
on the impossibility
of keeping a French army
much longer at Rome to protect a Government
which has invariably rejected all the propositions
hitherto made to it, and which will make no con-
cession to its subjects. There is little doubt, I
believe, of Spain soon recognizing the Kingdom of
Italy,
General Jose Concha, the new Spanish ambassador,
will be here on the Bth or 10th of August, and will,
as I mentioned on a previous occasion, present his
credentials in due form at the Tuileries before the
15th. He will leave Madrid on the Ist, join his
family at Biarritz, and stay with them some days.
He will, no doubt, do his best to remove whatever
unpleasant impressions may still remain on the mind
of the Emperor in consequence of the retirement of
General Prim from Mexico. Prim, doubtless,
hthought that, though Spanish self-love might be'
urt by that step, the real interest of Spain would

impetuous Gferni ee
may be more open to conviction than his more
g to Mexico, and sharing
gh perhaps not in the material
advantages of the conquest, which are coveted only
by more vulgar conquerors. The Emperor must set
great value on such an auxiliary in the war with
Mexico, and the campaign of Morocco has shown
what Spain can do when she puts forth all her
strength.

Napoleon I. left nothing undone, as we know, to
induce the Spain of his day to join the alliance in
another great project. Spain, to be sure, did not
gain much by the Prince of Peace yielding to the
flatteries and seductions of wily friends and pre..
lates, and the Spain of 1862 is not the Spain of
" Sixty years since."

When Junot was sent to Madrid in February,
1805, the Emperor was gracious enough to draw up
his instructions with his own hand, and be pointed
out with great care the line of conduct he was to
follow towards Godoy, who was then the real ruler
of Spain. " You will tell the Prince of Peace," he
says,—

" That your instructions require you to try for
fifteen days every means of negotiation and of
gentleness, and that if Portugal refuse to shut her
ports to England, to lay an embargo on English
ships, to confiscate English merchandise, both am-
bassadors (Spanish and French) must quit simul-
taneously; that war shall be immediately declared
against Portugal, and the property and goods be-
longing to her shall be forthwith confiscated in both
States ; that I shall furnish before the autumn the
forces Spain may require, and that we shall both
take possession of Portugal. Add to all this, that

it is necessary the King of Spain shall write, five
days after your arrival at Lisbon, a letter to the
Prince Regent, calling upon him to make common,
cause with Spain against England. If war follow,
you are authorised to concert with him as to the
future destiny of Portugal, and as to what shall be
done with it.

" You will also tell the Prince of Peace that the
King of Prussia has sent me twelve Grand Crosses
of the Prussian Eagle to distribute among the most
considerable persons of France ; that I should see
with pleasure the King of Spain, of his own mere
movement, doing the same by the Golden Fleece;
that you are authorised to concert with him as to
this matter, that the exchange might take place be.
tween the two Sovereigns, and I shall send the de-
coration of the Legion of Honour for the King and
the Princes.

" You will tell the Prince of Peace that I see with
pleasure the communications of M. Lacepede with
his agent in Paris, and that I have charged you to
hear all he may have to say to me, either of per-
sonal interest, or in the interest of Spain.
" You will tell the Prince of Peace that if every-
thing goes on as I have reason to hope, and if a per-
fect concert reign between us, he may count upon
my support; that if he should have a desire to come
toParis he shall enjoy great consideration here; that
I have charged though in Lisbon, to transmit
to me what he may have to communicate to me, and
which cannot pass through my Minister Beurnon-
ville (Napoleon's Ambassador at Madrid), or by the
ordinary channels. You will just hint to him that
Buernonville, who has my confidence in general
matters, does not possess it for more intimate ones.
Finally, you will receive all his communications,
be they what they may ; write down all, and
transmit an account of all to me.
" When you have thus opened affairs, and you
begin to be intimate with the Prince of Peace, after
the fourth or fifth conversation you will whisper
something to him about the future destiny of Spain,
and hint that the influence of the daughter of the
Austrian woman of Naples would be opposed to
Spain if the King of Spain should die.
" You will stay eight days in Spain and send me
a courier. You are not to let Beurnonville see that
you are charged with any communication to the
Prince of Peace, and you must not transmit my
letter to the King of Spain but through the Prince
of Peace. For the rest, you are to be polite with
him and appear a good sort of fellow, without, how-
ever, letting him assume over you any influence or

any sort of tone.
41 You are also to inform the Prince of Peace that
I intend making him a present, to show my esteem
for him ; and that lam waiting till the Spanish

squadrons have done something in order to attri •
bute to him all the glory, and to give him a public
testimonial of my esteem.

"NAPOLEON."

The " Spanish squadrons," together with the
French, did "something" a few months afterwards,
bnt the Prince of Peace was not over-anxious to
claim the glory of it. This credulous and vain per-
son, whom Napoleon despised while he flattered
him, fled from Spain in 1808, and died as much
forgotten as if he had never existed a few years ago
in an obscure lodging in Paris.
Colonel Colombres, of the Mexican army, arrived
at Orizaba on the 12th of June with a flag of truce,
and presented the following letter to General de
Lorencez
:
"To THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE FRENCH
TROOPS AT ORIZABA.

" Head quarters of the Army of the East,
Tecamaluea, June 12.

" General,—l have reason to believe that you and
the officers of the division placed under your com-
mand have sent a protest to the Emperor against
the conduct pursued by M. Dubois de Saligny when
you became convinced that M. Dubois de Saligny
had suggested an expedition against a people who
up to that moment were the best friends of the
French nation. That circumstance and the cer-
tainty I feel that the French army is in a difficult
position, as well as the desire to prepare an honour-
able retreat for it, induce me to propose to you to
capitulate. The essential basis of the capitulation
will be the evacuation of the territory of the Re-
public within a period to be subsequently fixed.

I believe that my Government will not disapprovethis new demonstration in favour of peace, for I may,

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(From the .Regtstrar-General's Weekly Return.)

Eleven hundred and thirty-seven deaths from all

in the weeks of 1852.61 that correspond with last
ewrue;dkeuthtbast
week is found, with correction for population, to be
1,242. The deaths last week were therefore less by
100 than the number that would have been recorded
under the the average rate of mortality.
The births in last week exceeded the deaths in the
same time by 621.

Tyhpus was returned in 74 cases, 32 of which
were described as typhus, 18 as typhoid fever, and
the remainder as gastric fever, low fever, &e. Five
deaths from typhus occurred in the sub-district of
St. Margaret, Westminster; 13 were returned by
the London Fever Hospital. Measles and scarla.
tina were returned in almost equal numbers—the
former 40, the latter 48. About half of the deaths
from measles occurred in the east districts—chiefly
Haggerstone, where 7 were recorded. Scarlatina
prevails in Kensington, 5 fatal cases of it having
been registered in the town sub-district. Diarrhoea
exhibited a decided increase last week; the
deaths from it rose from 39 to 68, besides which
there were 9 from English cholera. Of the 77
deaths referred to the two heads diarrhoea
and cholera, 67 occurred to children, chiefly
infants. A cowkeeper, aged 63 years, died at 49,
Paul-street, Shoreditoh, of " choleraic diarrhcea," '
after 48 hours' illness. The widow of a wine cooper,
aged 58 years, was found dead at 7, Churchyard,
Hackney, from " disease of the lungs, accelerated
by want of nourishment and want of cleanliness!'
(Inquest.) The wife of a seaman, aged 41 years,
died at 5, Spread Eagle-street, Limehouse, of
"typhoid fever, from the want of the common ne-
cessaries." The latter return is certified by the
medical attendant.

Last week the births of 887 boys and 871 girls, in
all 1,758 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61
the average number (corrected) was 1782.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.921 in.
The mean daily reading was above 30in. on two
days of the week. The reading rose to 30•10 in. on
Monday, and fell to 29.7 Tin. on Wednesday. The
mean temperature of the air in the week was 60.1
deg., which is 1.5 deg. below the average of the
same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr.
Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below
the average till Friday. The lowest night tempe-
rature was 44.6 deg. on Tuesday. The highest day
temperature was 79 deg. on Saturday. The range
of the thermometer in the week was 34.4 deg. The
mean daily range was 20.4 deg. The difference be-
tween the mean dew-point temperature and air
temperature was 6.8 deg. The mean degree of hu-
midity of the air was 80, complete saturation being
represented by 100. On Wednesday the humidity
was 98 ; on Saturday it fell to 73. The wind was
generally in the south-west and west. The amount
of rain did not exceed 0.11 in,, which was measured
on Wednesday. The thermometer in the sun rose
to 125.6 deg. on Saturday. The mean of the highest
temperature of the water of the Thames was 64.3
deg.; that of the lowest 62.1 deg.

BALLOON MAD.

Mr. Cocking's house stood in a little garden in
one of the side roads between Kennington and
Stockwell. Either from Vauxhall or the Surrey
Gardens, balloons were continually going up during
the season ; and from Mr. Cocking's gardens all the
balloons that went up were affectionately watched.
When in the warm summer evenings our drawing
lessons were transferred from the upper sanctum to
the room down stairs opening on this garden, we
had, now and then, very short measure of instruc-
tion. Sensitive to the faintest whisper of " bal-
loon !" our friend was out through the window, on
the instant when he found that a balloon was
visible. Once out, there he would stand fixed
on the grass-plot with his chin up. While there re-
mained the tiniest suspicion of an ink-blot up aloft to
gaze at, there he remained at gaze. There is fasci-
nation, we all know, for many thousands who are
not balloon-mad in the long look after a man who
has floated far, far up into the sky. For Mr. Cock-
ing, it was utter and irresistible. We welt on
drawing, and knew that we must consider our friend
up in the balloon. But in the old sanctum again,
as winter drew on, and after he had seen his last
season of scanty Christmas cheer, and when he was
enthusiastic with faith in his parachute and expec-
tation of a glorious descent in it ; when his own
little working model of it, neat and faultless as was
all the work of his dexterous hands, was being hung
over, and talked over, and explained again and
again to us; the simplicity of his devotion to his
subject was most touching. If he sought any
fame it was to be remembered in the
history of a*rostation. But on the labour
of his love he did not work conscious of a
thirst for fame, and I never heard him, in all his
panegyrics on his parachute, dwell for a minute on
the possible money-reward success would bring;
though it may well be that he cheered and sus-
tained the patience of his wife with that sugges-
tion. If he glorified himself, it was in, not because
of, the parachutp. Tt wag the parachute of his
fancy that he glorified and loved, as unselfishly as
ever poet loved the idol of his dream. His faith
in it never wavered. It resisted every attack, met
every question, and backed as it was by what ap-
peared to be good evidence, conquered all opposi-
tion to his resolve to prove, at " really not the least
risk to his life," this parachute to be that for which
the ages had been waiting.—Dickens's" All the
Year Bound."

THE DOG HOSPITAL.—The dogs are, for the most
part, of little or no worth. I don't think the puke of Beau-
fort would have much to say to the beagle I saw sniffing
about in the enclosure, and I imagine that the stout man,
who owned the small terriers at the show, would have little
to say to the black-and-tan. specimens, which mustered
strong in numbers, but weak in claims to admiration, in the
shut-up house, in which there were so many lost dogs as in
the enclosure outside. The thing owes its existence, asoliaaf been said, to a sentiment. It asks for but a very smalltion, and does not enter into competition

The Adventures of pull?). By W. M. Thackeray. 4 ii S
3 vols. Smith, Elder, and Co.
Finished at length, we cannot say too soon, this
novel as a whole must disappoint Mr. Thackeray's
many readers, however much they may admire the
vigour and truth of particular passages. Plot there
is next to none. We can see no reason, as far as
construction is concerned, why it should not have
gone on for another three, or six, or even sixteen
volumes, and then the termination would probably
be as abrupt as uow. It is rather as a delineator of
the general aspect of the society of the day than as a:.
creator of character, whether individual or in har-
monic and in tricate combination, that Mr.Thaekeray
excels. Not but what we do occasionally find cha-
racters in his novels of which the individuality is
admirably worked out ; but they are exceptional.
lie is essentially a satirist. lie uses his actors as
mere puppets, and we are always conscious of the
presence of the showman, For this reason we are
never enthralled by his works as by those of a more
im -ginative cast. We admire the cleverness of the
author; we admit the accuracy of his delinea-
tions, the subtlety with
which
we
be pene-
trates motive, the
" the very age and fiboyddelitayf
thewith time, hie
pressure," but he never stirs us ' hhis
,1 hefo r b
ni showsana
to our -ept...k.', or
transports us by the magic of • genius " beyond the
ignorant present." Still, of his power as a writer
there can be no question. He is a thoroughly
masculine thinker, free from sentimental spasm and
sectarianism ; with a keen scent for the rottenness
within the whitewashed sepulchre of worldliness,
and perfect command of language in which
to express his convictions. Thus he has become
a leader in literature, and deservedly. With the
theme of the present novel most of our readers are,
no doubt, familiar, Philip, the hero, is the repre-
sentative of frankness and integrity, and the rest
of the-dramatis personce rob, relipve, or pass him
by. The role of Chief villain is played by Philip's
father, Dr. Firman, who not only squanders his son's
fortune, and commits other improprieties, but even
after leaving the country, forges his name, and
otherwise embarrasses him ; whilst he is jilted by
his first love for a wealthier suitor: and when he
afterwards consoles himself with a second, and
marries, he incurs the hatred of his mother-in -
law. Still, of Samaritans, there is a plentiful
supply. He meets not only with sympathy, but
employment, and at the end fortune, willing to
compensate him for past reverses, opportunely
brings to light a will, made by a great uncle,
Lord Ringwood, a legacy in which renders him
independent. Thus, if there is suffering in the
tale, there is no downright tragedy ; the virtuous
are duly rewarded, the vicious meet with appro-
priate punishment, and the author steps before
the curtain, at the end, to make his bow and
wish his audience joy and prosperity. That this
novel will equal some of Mr. Thackeray's former
works in popularity, we do not believe, neverthe-
less there are parts of it quite equal to anything
he has written; and it shows that if he lashes the
vices and follies of society with no sparing hand,
he has at least abundant sympathy with human
nature in its brighter and more amiable aspects.

A 'CUTE QUARTERMASIER.

The feeling here:is steadily in favour of eman-
cipation, and not a few are praying that the war
may continue until the foul curse is blotted out.
The army is bitter towards this cause of our war,
and few of the officers or men are mean enough to
be willing to return fugitives. A case has just oc-
curred, which as related by one who witnessed the
transaction shows how any order given for the
rendition of slaves is evaded. It appears that a
fine-looking young slave girl, a light-coloured mu-
latto, belonging to a citizen of Washington, North
Carolina, had been doing house-work for Lieute-
nant Turner of Co. A, and when marching orders
were received expressed great anxiety to go with
the regiment to Newburn and escape bondage. She
took refuge on board one of the steamers on which the
24th had embarked, but just before the time for
starting her owner appeared with an order from
Governor Stanley, which read as follows :
" John Doe has permission to search for his slave
girl Henrietta, and will be protected in so doing."
This (the writer says) he presented to Quartermaster
Wm. W. Hutchins, and demanded the girl. Mr.
Hutchins, seeing the trepidation and anxiety mani-
fested in the countenance of Henrietta, asked her,
"Are you willing to return to your master ? " "Oh r
no, sir ! " she said, "please don't give me up to
him." " Let me see that order, sir," said he to the
owner, and reading it aloud, he remarked, "This
gives you authority to search for your girl; you
have searched for her, and there she is. You are to
be protected in making your search ; you have been
protected. This gives you no authority to take her
against her will. She does not wish to return to
you, and you can't take her. And now the sooner
you get off this boat the better it will be for your
skin." As he said this, with the determination of
a man who was not to be trifled with, the discom-
fited owner beat a precipitate retreat, amid the jeers
and shouts of the bystanders. This Mr. Hutchins
is a resident of Gloucester, some 20 miles from this
city.-4 Boston Letter.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE NEATZ-

THE STEIVPONEY,

On Sunday morning an accident occurred to a
party of pleasure-seekers, which unhappily proved
fatal to one of them. It appears that on the morn-
ing named William Detheridge, striker, aged 29,
residing in the Dock, at Dudley, with his wife and
two children, and Joseph Dotheridge, of Constitu-
tion-hill, Dudley, his brother, and his wife and.
child, and a female relative, started with a horse
and trap, it is supposed with the intention of going
to Enville. They proceeded safely until they got
about a mile beyond the Stewponey, at the top of
Stourton-hill. Here it was proposed to give the
horse some water at what appeared to be a small
pond, but which turned out to be an old clay
pep
it.
The horse was guided to the pit and allowed to

in
hold-
ing it above the water until doing so by
along, upon which it floated a board was pushed
.until it was safely
landed. Unfortunately, however, the father be-
came exhausted before assistance could be ren..
Doubtless the mud,
which is remarkably thick in the pit, impeded his
movements, and dragged him down beneath the
surface. However this may be, he sunk, and it was
along time before his body was recovered. It is
stated that the trap and all the occupants were at
one time in the water, and if this was so, it is cer-
tainly marvellous how they escaped, as the pit goes
suddenly deep, and the sides are slipper y. It is
also said that when it was proposed to let the horse
drink at the pit the deceased objected and got out
of the trap. He, however, led the animal to the
water, and, perhaps, it was the caution with which
he did this that prevented the accident being more
disastrous. It may be readily understood that the
scene was one of the most heartrending character—
the father struggling to save the life of his child,
and perishing before the eyes of his wife, while his
children, brother, and relatives were unable to aid
him in his strum3les. The accident occurred at
about 11 o'clock, just before the commencement of
Divine service, and it was not till 3o'clock that the
body was got out of the water.
Another report of the melancholy affair states
that the whole of the persons in the trap were pre-
cipitated into the pit, and that the deceased, after
rescuing his two children, attempted to save his
wife, who was still struggling in the water, and
that while endeavouring to extricate her he was
gradually drawn down by the mud. It is also stated
that there was, some time ago, a proper fence
fence put
ea .
round the pit, but that it has s gradually disa
and it is further said that tae deceased was not suf-
ficiently in leading the horse to drink. The
whole cautiou e
whole of the facts,
however, will no doubt be
eluci-
dated at the inquest.—Firminghain Post.

THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1862.

In the long list of sentences composing the
telegram from America to-day, but one has even a
favourable aspect towards the Federals—that which
reports that the Federal army has retired ten miles
towards Richmond. This is stated as a "report,'
but since it agrees with some previous information
from Richmond itself it is quite probable. What
the object is can be only conjectured ; but in the
Prima facie view of the case, we should suppose
that the Confederates would keep APCLELLAN as
far as possible from Richmond. Since, however,
their strongest post on the river is Fart Darling
where the gunboats were repulsed, about eight miles
from the city, it is by no means unlikely that they
prefer a line of defence flanked by their own
fort, and where M.`CLELLAN will be unable to com-
mand the services of gunboats pitching shells over
his own regiments amongst those of the Confe-
derates. The other item favourable to the Federals
in the telegram of the 19 th, seems to be contradicted
by t hat of the 21st from Cape Race.
The confusion
of Gordonsville and Gordonsburg, is
probably due
to the telegraph, and the latter communication con-
tradicts the former, leaving the Confederates still in
possession of the important Railway junction of the
three Railroads, which General POPE was said to
have destroyed, in order to cut off Confederate

supplies.
On the other other hand the South is, though in
small engagements, successful everywhere. In
the West, Vicksburg not only holds out, but, in a
small way the Confederates there are repeating the
exploits of the Merrim c, a Confederate Ram having
come from some quarter, made a dash at the Fede-
ral fleet inflicted considerable damage, and then
anchored safely under the cannon of Vicksburg.
See—Lord PALMERSTON will exclaim as he reads
it—see in this little instance the great value of my
fortifications; from under their shelter the iron
ship issues forth to damage or destroy even the
stronger enemy. Across the Mississippi the Con-
federates in Arkansas are evidently pressing Gene-
ral CURTIS very hard, the best reported of him
being that he has got safely away ; while we find
the Confederate General PRICE crossing the 'Mis-
sissippi into Arkansas, to co-operate with his
piurty there. The Northern report, however, adds
that the Federals have been successful in several
small engagements, while
again the Confederate
General issues his
131.°e4nlation to the people of
Arkansas not to let CURTIS eseape rWarm work
evidently there, almost outside
the world, in
Arkansas. _ _

But in the better known Border States
the Fede-
ral quarters are everywhere beaten up by ti,e con.
