LIVERPOOL, JULY 10.
By the Royal mail steam-ship Asia, Lott com-
mander, we have advices from New York to the
29th ult. She has brought 139 passengers, and
$591,082 in specie on freight. The Asia passed
the following vessels :—" On the 29th, at 3.40 p.m.,
the steamer Africa, hence, and ships Uhland,
American Union, and Instrinsic for New York ;
and on the Bth inst., the screw steamer Taurus,
hence for Boston. :The steam-ship Baltic arrived-at
New York on the 26th ult.
The deaths in New York during the week ending
the 25th ult. were 571, or 232 more than the pre-
vious week. The excessive heat caused a great
many deaths.
Her Majesty's frigate Leander sailed from New
York for Halifax on the 25th. Shortly before
sailing one of her boats was sent ashore, with eight
men, in charge of a midshipman, to bring off stores.
While at the wharf four of the men deserted ; the
other four preferred remaining. The midshipman
attempted to prevent their desertion, but a crowd
of bystanders threatened to throw him into the
dock if he left the boat.
The Leander would remain at Halifax till the 3d
of August, when Lord Ellesmere and suite would
join her there, and return to England.
Telegraphic accounts from Frederickton state
that the following Government directors had been
appointed for the European and North American
Railway :—The Hon. Messrs, Chandler, Haze;
Wilmot, Gray, Hayward, and Montgomery.
The Sydney (Cape Breton) News states that the
submarine cable had been laid across the Gut of
Cansoe, and was found to work capitally.
The Montreal Gazette states that the Hon. W.
B. Richards, late Attorney-General, had been ele-
vated to the vacancy on the bench in Upper Canada,
by the demise of Mr. Justice Sullivan. He is suc-
ceded in the Attorney-Generalship for Upper
Canada, and in his seat in the Cabinet by the lion.
John Ross, late Solicitor-General ; and Mr. J. C.
Morrison, member for Niagara, has succeeded to
the Solicitor-Generalship. The two last-named
gentlemen were sworn in at a Council held on the
22d ult. It is believed that the following further
Ministerial changes are all but determined on, but
will probably not take place for some weeks :
Hon. R. E. Caron to be appointed to the vacant
Lower Canada judgship ; Hon. J. Morris to the
Speakership of the Legislative Council, retaining
his seat in the Cabinet ; Hon. M. Cameron to suc-
ceed Hon. J. Morris as Postmaster-General ; Hon.
John Rolph to be transferred from the Crown
Lands to the Presidency of the Council, vice M.
Cameron. It is stated that M. Sicotte will succeed
Mr. Rolph as Commissioner of Crown Lands.
The St. John's Ledger publishes the following
communication from St. George's Bay :
" I take the first opportunity to inform you that the
French cutter has assumed the exclusive right of the
fisheries here, and has driven all the English schooners
out of the bay, which were about forty in number.
They were forbidden to take any fish on board
after the cutter had arrived, and many were driven
out and not allowed to take up their nets that
were in the water, and their boats and herrings that
were in them were taken from them, and the schooners
compelled to go out of the bay with a strong head wind ;
and some, that returned on account of the heavy sea
and wind, were fired into by the cutter ; and, when they
returned were compelled to go out without dropping
anchors. We do not know how to act in the matter,
having no authority from the Government, nor even the
treaty to govern us ; but you may depend upon it, it
made the English blood chill to see the French humbling
and driving the English, to the number of 40 vessels,
out of the bay, and firing into them, &c. I was for-
bidden to take herrings on board my schooners. I had
four lying here. One of them I had was loaded with
967 barrels ; the others I cannot load in bulk, which
will be considerable loss to me and the inhabitants.
They allow us to 'make' our herrings on shore, but not
to put any on board the schooners. I called on the
French commodore, and he told me we might thank or
blame Tobin for all this, for stopping the French from
fishing on the Labrador coast last season, and that their
Government had ordered them to stop the 'English in
every place where they had a right of fishery. lam
informed that the inhabitants in Cod Bay have been
stopped for several days from fishing by the French
cutter. If they have the exclusive right to the fishery,
it is more than we are aware of. We always have been
informed that the treaty only granted them the right to
the fishery in common with the English,
but they now
assume the exclusiVe right to the fishery, and have
taken it at the mouth of the cannon.

to small amounts, some 5/. or 61. in each case.
The yellow fever _ was not so prevalent as previ-
ously reported. The weather continued favourable,

Late advices from Venezuela state that the
revolution was on the increase. The pro-
vince of Cumana had issued a pronunciamento
against the tyranny of the brothers Monagas.
The second article of the pronunciamento is as
follows :—" We proclaim a confederacy as the
system most congenial to the rights of the sons of
Cumana, reckoning as a model worthy of imitation
the Government of the United States of North
America." The province of Margarita had also
followed the example of Cumana, and declared in
favour the resolution ; and it was rumoured that
the ofoces of Coro and Maracaibo, on the west,
were also ready to throw off the yoke of the Mona-

gases.
There had been no particular change in the New
York stock market. Erie Railroad Bonds had de-

SPORTING NOTES.

GOODWOOD AND LIVERPOOL-GUESSES AT

TRUTH.

Recent running has produced a marked effect on spe-
culation. In 'the list of quotations certain horses have
attained a prominency which was unexpected, and
which is, in certain instances, surprising. The betting
on the Goodwood Stakes has been particularly regulatod
by the " performances" of the past fortnight. Kingston's;
success at Newcastle brought Teddington's chance into
conspicuous notice. Teddington is weighted at 9st 61b,
but notwithstanding his crushing impost, many shrewd
and experienced judges deem him capable of achieving
success. This opinion is somewhat supported by a con-
sideration of his victory for the Emperor's Plate at Ascot :
the vast merit of that performance is undeniable, still it
does not prove the unquestionable superiority of his
chance in the approaching encounter. His partizans,
however, derive additional encouragement from the fact
of Chanticleer's winning the Goodwood Stakes in 1848 at
9st 21b, 41bs lighter than Teddington's present weight ;
still Teddington's unsuccessful running for the Spring
Handicap induces me to withhold my confidence from
him on this occasion ; indeed, the severity of the course,
and the telling impost compels me to regard his winning
as almost a physical impossibility. Vindex, too, has
recently risen into considerable favour, a circumstance
attributable to his " kind " performance with Kingston,
at Newcastle. Under the guidance of "Tiny Wells"
he displayed his unquestionable racing powers most ad-
vantageously, and showed that when "i'the vein" he
was capable of meritorious achievements. If ridden by
a boy of sufficient strength to hold him, he will doubt
less obtain a very forward position in the race. Haricot
won the Cumberland Plate, at Carlisle, on Wednesday
last, and was immediately backed with considerable
spirit for the Goodwood Stakes. Last year,
carrying 7st, she ran third for this event, and she
is now handicapped at 21bs only for her year
Her form and condition are reported to be moat satis-
factory ; and taking into due consideration her success
at Carlisle, and the subsequent running of Lough Bawn,
to whom she conceded 6 ibs, and whom she beat by two
lengths, I am induced to entertain a favourable opinion
of her chance. Endeavours have been made to bring
Trifle into the market, but I regard them with suspicion.
I will now briefly direct attention to the minor events
to be decided at Liverpool. The meeting at Aintree
commences on Wednesday, and terminates on Friday,
judicious management and a satisfactory supply of sport
being likely to extend widely its already large and de-
served popularity. Wednesday's list contains six items.
but has no very prominent or attractive " feature."
Dervish has incurred a 31b. penalty for the Mersey
Stakes, still his additional impost is little calculated to
interfere with his success. Should the Reel colt put in
an appearance for the Produce Stakes, I shall be in-
clined to place some confidence in his pretensions to
support. lam informed that he has been most satis-
factorily tried ; but his owner may reserve him for the
" Home Meeting "at Goodwood. In his absence, per-
haps Sortie will be the successful competitor.
General Anson's intended filly—either Lady Margaret
or May Fair, appears likely to carry off the Lancashire
Oaks, although I should be inclined to regard The
Queen with some partiality if I were credibly informed
of her " fitness." The nominations for the other stakes
to be run for on the first day are not yet made.
My opinions on the Liverpool Cup were fully stated
in The Sun on Saturday, and at present I am not inclined
to alter them. Harbinger and Montague have been ad-
vanced into high favour, and Daniel O'Rourke has en-
countered determined opposition and is now friendless;
movements which have borne out my remarks sooner
than I anticipated.
July 11. A FRESH MAN.
P.S.—An eager disposition is manifested to back
Cariboo—one of the animals which I selected on Satur'
day against the field. At the list houses, 6 and 5 to 1
have been taken about him.

FATAL THUNDER-STORM.- BRISTOL, July S.—Last
night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a tremendous thun-
der-storrn, accompanied by a perfect deluge of rain, burst
over this city. The storm was not of lengthened dura',
tion, but very violent while it lasted, the flashes
lightning being almost incessant and very vivid. Infer,
mation was received here this afternoon that a poor old
man, named James Hazen, 70 years of age, and a doer
ing-weaver by trade, residing at Bedminster, near this
city, had been struck dead by the electric fluid. He wso
picked up at his own door quite dead. The information
has been forwarded to the coroner, Mr. J. B. Grindont
who will hold an inquest on the body. Some damage
has been done in the neighbourhood to garden lights
and frames ; but, beyond the above, no intelligence 01
any other serious accident has reached us.

YELLOW FEVER AT JAMAICA.—We regret to find Foy
the last mail that yellow fever to some extent prevails
amongst the troops stationed at Up-Park Camp, Jamaica;
the Serjeant-Major of the 3rd West India Regiment has
already fallen a victim to the disease.
EXHIBITION IN BERLIN.—The Berlin papers announce
that it is the intention of the Prussian Government to
hold next year, in Berlin, a general Exhibition of the Arts
of Germany. The plan is to assemble the most remark'
able works and products which have appeared within
the last five and twenty years-- a period which goes WIG
to the revival of German Art. The various German
States will shortly be invited to co-operate. —A thence/oo'
OVERFLOWING OF TEE WYE.--For the third time
within the last twelve months, Hereford and the ad'
joining counties of Brecon, Radnor, and Salop hale
been visited with terrible disasters by the overflowing of
the Wye and its tributary streams. Early on Friday
morning thunder storms of an alarming nature,
accompanied by torrents of rain, occurred in
the neighbourhood of Ledbury, Ross, and other
parts of Herefordshire, where it raged for some hours with
unabated violence. At Dy mock where the embankments of
the Hereford and Gloucester Canal are higher than at all
other point, the banks gave way, literally inundating the
village and country for miles around, doing serious damage
to the crops, and bearing away various property in its
course. The canal has been so much damaged that some
months must elapse before the traffic can be again resumed.
On Friday night the valleys were literally deluged by the
overflowing of the mountain streams, which were swollen
by the heavy rains accompanying the thunder-storm.
Cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs were swept from its banks;
trees were torn up, and hay and other property carried
along. The villa residence of Mrs. Lawrence, at Aberddwy
near Builth, with five inmates was washed cony
pletely away. The roads in the neighbourhood of Builth
have been flooded to an extent which rendered them alto-
gether impassable and the mail was delayed about two
hours. In Brecon the bridge over the river Honddil;
at the point of junction with the Usk, has been carried
away, and several other bridges seriously injured. The
town was also flooded and many of the houses were
completely gutted.
