ley and Bedouin, 8 to 1 agst Patrick, 12 to 1 each agst Co-
nundrum, Master George, Doefoot, and Anonyma, and 100
to 8 agst Gorse.

An excellent start was effected at the first attempt, the
lot leaving the post in a cluster, with the exception of Be-
douin, who, jumping round at the moment, was left at the
post. After running a few strides, Patrick rushed to the
front and cut out the work at a good pace, Doefoot going
on second, with Cowley, Haddington, and the Makeless mare
lying at her quarters, the lot whipped in by Conundrum,
Pembroke, and Master George. In this order they pro-
ceeded towards the mile-post, passing which Patrick in-
creased his lead, May Gosling lying second, Doefoot third,
with Haddington, the Makeless mare, and Cowley lying up ;
the others, which were headed by Anonyms, Prologue, and
Conundrum, following two or three lengths in their rear.
On rounding the plantation turn Doefoot dropped back, and
Conundrum in company with Anonyma emerged from their
rearward positions and drew into the front division, the
lot running in close company to the rifle butts, where Pa-
trick was joined by the Makeless mare, Master George,
Cowley, and Conundrum, but on reaching the Red House
the former was beaten and shortly after disappeared from
the front, his place being taken by the Nakeless mare, who
came on with a clear lead, having-Master George, Cowley,
Anonyma, Conundrum, and Gorse in close attendance to the
distance, where the latter ran past his horses, and for a few
strides came on in company with the leader, but was then
beaten, and his place was taken by Cowley, who obtained a
decided lead at the enclosure, and won without an effort by
a length, a similar distance separating the second and third;
Prologue finished a good fourth, Haddington fifth, and Gorse
sixth; Pembroke, who pulled up lame, did not pass the post.

Betting-5 to 2 each agst Smoke and Bones; 3to 1 agst
Nawadaha, and 5 to 1 agst Lady Dundas.

The latter making the most of a favourable start jumped
away with the lead, was never after approached, and won
easily by two lengths, a neck between second and third ;
Smoke finished a bad fourth. The winner was sold to Sir
W. Booth for 145 guineas, and Lord Westmorland claimed
Nawadaha.

Betting-6 to 4on Cerintha, 9to 2 agst Queen Bertha,
100 to 12 agst Villafranca and Causes, and 12 to 1 agst
Roly-poly.

After a trifling delay at the post Queen Bertha jumped
off with the lead, Villafranca, Miss Armstrong, and Roly-
poly being in close attendance, with the favourite waiting
on the inside. The first to recede was Roly-poly, when
Bohemia and Canace got upon even terms with the leaders,
and the four placed by the judge came on abreast from the
distance. At the Stand Cerintha and Bohemia singled
themselves out, and a magnificent race ended in favour of
the former by a short head. Two lengths separated the
second and third, and Canace lost third place by a head
only. Countess was fifth, Roly-poly sixth, and Villafranca
seventh.

the half distance, where the non-favourite joined him, and
in a few strides obtained a slight advantage, which he held

Mr. Merry's colours a short head in advance.

CRICKET.

AUSTRALIA .-. ANOTHER INVITATION TO ENGLISH
CRICKETERS.-GEORGE PARR'S ELEVEN.

An invitation has been received by Mr. George Parr, by
the late Australian mail, with proposals for him to visit
Australia with eleven cricketers, himself to be the captain.
The letter is dated " July 26, Marshall's Cricketing Depot,
Swanston-street, Melbourne," and is signed " George Mar-
shall." The proposals are that G. Parr, with his team,
should leave England for Australia in September, 1863,
and the following names are mentioned whom the colonists
would like to see over :—T. Hayward, R. Carpenter, R.
Daft, J. Jackson, E. Willsher, J. Ctesar, G. Griffith, G.
Anderson, W. Mortlock, J, Grundy, G. Bennett, J . Lilly-
white, W. Caffyn, G. Tarrant, T. Sewell, and T. Lockyer.
Twelve matches are to be played in Victoria and New South
Wales, as shall be arranged by a committee. The condi-
tions go on to state that £6OO shall be remitted to England
prior to departure, also the sum of £5O per man as a provi-
sion for their wives and families during their absence,
should the proposal be agreed to. Arrangements to be made
with Messrs. Bright Brothers, Melbourne. The passage to
be first class. The letter mentions that the speculation is
likely to realise to each man from £4OO to £6OO. It also
states that Griffith, Caffyn, Bennett, and Mortlock are espe-
cial favourites in Australia, and they hope to see " Tom
Lockyer." The terms offered to G. Parr are extremely libe-
ral, and doubtless they will be accepted when the team con-
sult together. Parr is to return an answer as early as pos-
sible, so as to facilitate arrangements in Melbourne for their
reception, which, the writer adds, will be more enthusiastic
than the late visit.

linto competition with cotton goods." The majority of ex-
perimenters are trying to find fibres to mix with cotton
rather than to take its place, and among these the principal
are preparations of flax. k fibre was produced on the Ex-
change to-day made from Rio grass which bore the greatest
resemblance to cotton of anything yet produced. It was
extitruely fine, of good colour and strong, It was many
inches in length, and would require breaking up for use,
but that would be no obstacle if it could be produced cheap
enough and in sufficient quantity. It was said to be pro-
ducible in great quantity, and at 3d. per lb. ; but the ques-
tion which naturally suggests itself, if this is true, is suffi-
cient to throw doubt upon the statement. The Scotch fibres
from jute and other substances do not find much favour
here. It is said that the bleached samples which have been
tried are too brittle. The cotton offered through the Messrs.
I Phillips, of London, begins to excite considerable interest.
At first it was not believed in becanse the gentlemen to
whom it was shown were not allowed to handle it, but more
recently the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce has
been allowed that privilege, and pronounces it of sufficient
strength. The statement in a circular recently issued by the
inventor that a future supply of the material may be ob-
tained by cultivation in the United Kingdom, without dis-
placing from other purposes one acre of land, has taken the
public by surprise. To this should be added the state-
ment made here on behalf of the inventor, when asked
about the quantity, that an almost unlimited supply would
be forthcoming almost immediately, or at least a million
bales. The next question to be answered, and one of great
importance, is as to cost. American cotton, it is known,
has been produced and sold in this market with a profit at
something like 4d per lb. No material is likely to come
into permanent use here that could not withstand such a
competition. At least spinners and manufacturers will not
be likely to risk their capital to any extent in procuring it.
Even if ordinarily producible at this price, it is thought
that any undertaking of the kind would be subject to a
rude shock whenever the struggle in America is over, and
when it is believed that this market will be completely
glutted with cotton, which must be sold at any price. Such
a shock in the infancy of an undertaking would be hard to

ap-
parent apathy which has been manifested with regard to
procuring cotton from new fields of cultivation. Messrs.
John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth market :
" There is no change in this market since Tuesday last.
On Saturday and yesterday there was rather more inquiry,
and a moderate business was done, but to-day the demand
has fallen off again, and there is little or nothing doing.
Prices are nominally the same as last week, but are very
irregular."
LEEDS, 16th.—The markets in both the cloth halls to-
day were rather quiet as to purchases, but prices were firm,
and the tone of the market was healthy. There is no im-

from t
the halls to-day at the close of the market included a fair
portion of ordinary useful black cloths, as well as different
mixed and fancy goods for autumn and winter wear. The
finishers of the new Witneys are fully employed, and are
working overhours.

ROCHDALE, 15th.—There has been a good market for
flannels to-day, and a considerable bulk ®f goods was pur-
chased, as there was also at the warehouses during the past
week. Prices have an upward tendency, especially those
of Welshes. Manufacturers are busy, many of them com-
pleting orders for exportation, as well as for the home trade,
and the prospects for some time to come are satisfactory.
Yorkshire goods are selling much better than of late.
Wools still keep very firm in price ; indeed, on the more
saleable sorts an advance of 2d. per lb. has taken place
within the past fortnight.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday at Aberdeen—Mr. J. Stirling in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he thought the result of the half-year's working was
very favourable to the company. They were enabled in the
past half-year to show a considerable increase in their traf-
fic, and to give a better dividend to the shareholders than
in the corresponding period of last year, Considering the
circumstances of the country, those two facts were very
gratifying. Their expenses were on the decrease. This was
the first half-year of their working with the Dundee and
Arbroath Railway Company, and he was glad to say that
their working with that company had been highly harmo-
nious and satisfactory. He concluded by stating that he
should be happy to answer any question the shareholders
might wish to put.

Mr. G. THOMPSON, in seconding the motion, said he
thought they had reason to be very well pleased with the
present state of the undertaking, and he hoped the dividends
on the ordinary stock would continue to increase.
The motion was carried unanimously.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the sum of £20,103,
then standing at the debit of the Aberdeen revenue balance
account, was transferred to the debit of the Aberdeen capi-
tal account. The retiring directors were re-elected, and
also the retiring auditor.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.
