The quarantine regulations at Cevita Vecchia, to
which the Papal authorities appear disposed to ad-
here rigidly, threaten serious inconvenience to com-
mercial operations.

METROPOLITAN COMMITTEE FOR OPPOSING
RUSSIAN AGGRESSION ON TURKEY.

At a meeting of the above committee, held at 82, Ox-
ford-street, on Saturday evening last, the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted.
1. That this committee earnestly hopes that the
friends of Turkey's independence in the several districts
of the metropolis will arrange for the holding of public
meetings at an early day to enable the inhabitants fully
and adequately to express their sense of the course the
British government should pursue to uphold the just
rights of Turkey to repel Russian aggression.
2. That this committee appeals to the British people
generally to hold meetings forthwith for the purpose
specified in the foregoing resolution ; and this com-
mittee would urge the propriety of all meetings being
summoned by the municipal or other local authorities,
on requisition of the ratepayers; or otherwise, to be
convened by the requisitionists where the authorities
may refuse compliance.—Signed on behalf of the com-
mittee.

WYLD'S CHART OF THE ARCTIC REGlONS.—Another
edition of this admirable chart has within the last few
hours been issued from Mr. Wyld's establishment. It
comprises all the redent discoieries in proof of the prac-
ticability of the- North-west Passage. It indicates by
yellow lines the discoveries ►made by Belcher, by red
lines those made by Al'Clure, and by green lines those
made by Inglefield. The publication of the map is
wonderfully prompt, and its appearance cannot fail to
be welcomed by the public as singularly opportune. It
constitutes another and a welcome proof of the prompti-
tude and the skill of Mr. James Wyld as one of the
foremost among living hydrographers.

THE OVERLAND Alvie Es.—the commercial advices
by the overland mail are again comparatively favourable.
In the markets for imported goods, as respects not only
cotton manufactures but metals, there has been a satis-
factory business both at Bombay and Calcutta. At
Canton and Shanghai, however, the progress of the
rebellion prevents any revival. With regard to crops,
it appears that the next yield of cotton in the Bombay
presidency is likely to be large, while the indigo report
from Calcutta presents no alteration. The Singapore
accounts are to the Ist of September. The market for im-
ports was dull, and prices were lower. The demand for pro-
duce continued steady, butformer quotations were notgen e-
rally supported. The advices from Labuan and Borneo
Proper extend to the 29th of July. The railroad of the
Eastern Archipelago Company, from the 10-yard coal
seam to the beach, was in course of construction. The
coal taken on board the American war steamer Powhat-
tan at Labuan had been pronounced by the engineers of
that vessels as the best they had ever used.
OLYMPIC THEATRE. This theatre opens to-night,
under the management of Mr. Alfred Wigan, the new
lessee. Mr. Alfred Wigan has worked his way ably
and honourably to the responsible position which he now
holds. As an actor in particular classes of character he
is unrivalled. His company is chosen with great tact
and savoir faire. Almost every member has a speciality,
and is, besides, a good general actor or actress. An
appropriate burlesque sketch, entitled The Camp at the
Olympic, will aptly open the theatre ; and a drama of
the Empire, by Mr. Torn Taylor, called The, Master
Passion, will fitly inaugurate the management.
ZULU KAFIR& —The attractive entertainment given
by this extraordinary troupe of native Zulu Kafirs posi-
tively closes at the St. George's Gallery this day, as they
depart for Paris to-morrow morning.
THE BANK OF FRANCE.--The returns of the past month
confirm the anticipations entertained of a heavy falling
off in the stock bullion, the diminution being equal to
2,890,0001. A more rapid drain is thus shown to have
taken place than has been experienced within a similar
period at any time this year even by the Bank of Eng-
land. In the preceding month there was a falling off
of 1,080,0001. and the total absorbed since the'beginning
of the present half-year has been 6,200,0001. In the
earlier months of the year, however, there was an in-
crease so that the amount taken since the Ist of January
has been about 4,200,0001. 'The sum drained from the
Bank of England during the same period has been
4,778,5731.

SPORTING NOTES.

WARWICK AUTUMN MEETING.

The sport appointed to be decided to-morrow at War-
wick excites little interest ; it has occasioned no specu-
lation, and, indeed, so seldom is it mentioned that the
meeting appears to be utterly ignored by the betting
fraternity. The programme possesses few attractions,
it comprises five items, but the published list of entries
gives no promise of large fields or interesting races.
Foul weather, too, is likely to militate considerably
against the success of the gathering, diminishing the
attendance, and spoiling the sport.
The respective stables of Dawson and Osborne are
fully represented in the Great Warwick Handicap. One
of them will perhaps furnish the winner. The sticky
state of the ground, however, will give a material ad-
vantage to the old horses. Alp in particular is favour-
ably weighted, and may be capable of " getting home"
successfully through the dirt. His running with Goor-
kah at Liverpool strengthens this conclusion. John
Osborne may, however, deem the chance of his stable
companion, Angelo, preferable. Of Dawson's lot Annie
Sutherland is entitled to the precedence, and should she
be capable of getting over the heavy ground, she will
be one of the foremost of, if not the foremost competitor
in, the race. The winner will, I anticipate, be either
Alp or Annie Sutherland. Little Davie and May Day
stand next in my estimation.
The Leamington Welter Cup numbers fourteen accep-
tances. Agis, Titterstone, and Lady Isabel are the
most noteworthy names in the list. Village Lass and
Campstool are my "fancies" for the Committee Handi-
cap. The other stakes close to-night. The races will
commence e'ch day at half-past one o'clock.
The Steeple Chases I shall dismiss without comment.
The literature of the turf is somewhat limited, and
perhaps rather insignificant in character. An attempt,
however, is being made to increase and improve it. A-
new sporting novel, entitled " Dick Diminy the Jockey,'
is now in the course of publication. The first number
is before me • it is graphically written, and the author
appears to be thoroughly acquainted with his subject.
He has plenty of materials at his command, and he
seems to use them judiciously and effectively. The
work promises to be highly entertaining, and not a little
instructive to the uniniated turfite, and is calculated to
extend consi lerably to the already wide-spread reputa-
tion of its author, "Priam" of the Racing Times.
