SPORTING (NOTES.

TOPHAM AT LEWES.
The attempt about to be made by Mr. Topham to
re-establish the popularity of Lewes Races deserves en-
couragement. Owners of horses, however, have not at
the outset of his undertaking given him a full measure
of support. The nominations appended to the various
stakes are somewhat scanty, and comprise only animals
of a plating mediocrity. Still the supply of sport will
be sufficient to induce a large majority of metropolitan
spec'ulators to assist at the gathering.
The programme contains eleven items, of which seven
are handicaps. The slbs penalty which Kennyside
Hero has incurred for the Trial Handicap will scarcely
militate against his success. The Innkeeper's Plate
numbers twelve entries, of these, Hazlenut, Bansteacl)
and Allington, will doubtless command most attention.
My opinion of their respective chances is indicated by
the order in which I have set down their names. For
the Southdown Welter Cup I have a slight partiality
for Now-or-Never and the Alp. The colt by Beverlao
out of Slender will doubtless win the 10 Sovs Sweep'
stakes.

Calculating upon a start, I shall expect Pantominlei
Diana, Vingt'-un, and the Jennala filly to occupy the
foremost places for the Lewis Handicap. From the
above-mentioned lot, I shall select Pantomime and
Vingt'-un alone to represent my interest.
Lady Flora and Switch seem the most noteworthy
names among the entries for the County Stakes, but se
difficult is it to ascertain the likely starters that it 18
impossible to determine, with any degree of accuracy'
the probable result of the race. For the Handieall
Plate, my "fancies" are for Henrietta, Longinus, 3115"
the filly by Epirus.

The races at Reading yesterday were marked by n°
incident of especial importance. The betting on these
was very limited. The success of Brother to Greg
Tommy, for the Berkshire Stakes, was not totally un•
expected ; during the morning he was backed quietly at
7 and 8 to A larger attendance of general company
and bookmakers was never seen at Reading. The dal
was scorching hot, and spectators were not a little
annoyed by swarms of wasps. Indeed the cry °I
" wops" was made with ludicrous frequency, and it re•
quired no ordinary dexterity to dodge these alarming
little insects. The racing was not sufficiently imPor'
taut to call forth particular remark.

Royal Arsenal, moved up to Woolwich dockyard on
Monday morning, when two lieutenants and 18 non-
commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Artillery
embarked in her, taking 10 horses on board with them.
The Australia left the dockyard at 1 o'clock p.m. for
Greenhithe, where the remainder of Major Young's and
Captain Irving's companies of the Royal Artillery will
embark in her for the seat of war. The companies are
under orders to march to Greenhithe to-day, headed by

MOVEMENTS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES

The following despatch is dated Vienna yester.
day evening :

" The Russian rear-guard was about half-way
between Bucharest and Busco.

" On the 3d the Turkish army had not entered
Bucharest.

" Bucharest was about to send a loyal address to
the Porte.

" Luders' troops were retreating on Brailow.
" It is said that retrograde movements are being
made in Moldavia.

" The departure of Baron Hess for the army i
postponed."
Letters from Jassy state that several Russian
regiments have just entered Moldavia from Bessa-
rabia, to reinforce the line of the Sereth. On the
other hand, several Russian regiments which have
been demoralised and rendered useless in Walla-
chia, are crossing the Pruth for Bessarabia and the
province of Kherson.

The Cronstadt Gazette (Transylvania), of the 28th
ult., says :—" The journals of Bucharest have
reached us after a week's interruption. They state
that the Russians celebrated on the 23d a solemn
service in honour of the victory obtained in Asia
by Prince, Andronikoff. The Russians are re-
establishing the roads on our frontier. No more
Russian patrols are seen unless on the Pregjal."
The Lloyd of Vienna, of the 4th, says :—" Gene-
ral Baron Osten Sacken, commander of the 3d
corps of infantry and all the Russian troops in
Moldavia, established his head-quarters at Jassy
on the 24th ult. Prince Gortschakoff has authorised
him to take the control of all the civil administra-
tion, and to replace Moldavian by Russian func-
tionaries. This has caused great alarm amongst
the inhabitants, as it seemed to indicate a design
of making Moldavia a Russian province. The Rus-
sians are building huts and ovens, and making
other preparations on the Sereth for passing the
winter. An immense number of sick and wounded
have been sent into Bessarabia, but the hospitals of
Moldavia are still full. Omer Pacha on entering
Wallachia published a proclamation, in which he
promises that no military events shall take place in
the Wallachian territory, and that when the Rus-
sians shall be expelled, Turkey, in conjunction with
Austria, Prussia, and the Western Powers, will
re-establish the old administration. He concludes
by declaring that the Wallachians shall receive an
indemnity for the losses to which they have been
subjected by the Russian occupation."

A very limited supply of 'English wheat was on sale in
to-day's market, yet the business doing was trifling, at

Barley met a very inactive demand, but no decline took
place in prices.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-YESTERDAY.

Considering that there was no less than three race
meetings on to-day, there was a tolarable attendance at
the Post-office Hotel, and notwithstanding that Heapy,
for the Ebor Handicap, was in great force at Tattersall's
on Monday—at 4 to 1 taken freely—he did not travel
so well in this market to-day, 5 to 1 being currently of-
fered, and at one time a gentleman left himself open to
lay 600 to 100 ; and although that was the taking price
at the close, we are inclined to think that it could have
been obtained to a sum. We have observed a disposi-
tion to back his stable companion, Grand Inquisitor.
There are several books already open upon the Cesare-
witch and Cambridge Stakes, and for the former event
Balrownie and the Star of Surrey have received c nsi-
derable support. Six ponies were taken once about the
Trapper for the St. Leger, and 14 to 1 was taken freely
about Dirk Hatteraick for the Derby next year. The
following were the closing prices :

FR A.NCE.

It is a circumstance worthy of note, that the
Moniteur in confirming the retreat of the Russians
upon the Sareth, says the Turks will doubtless
immediately occupy the capital of Wallachia. This
seems to imply that the retreat of Omer Pacha
behind the Danube, insisted upon by Austria at
the court of Constantinople, has not ultimately
been conceded to this doubtful ally.
The Bourse has again been very steady yesterday,
and prices rose. The 3 per Cents. closed at 71f. 50c
for the end of the month ; the 4i per Cents. at
98f. 90c. ; and the New Loan at 71f. 50c.; Orleans

According to a letter of the 26th July, the
workmen at the arsenal at Cronstadt are employed
night and day on the gun-boats that have been
ordered by Rear-Admiral Boxer. The contractors
have engaged themselves to deliver the boats (30
in number) on or about the 10th of August.
The Trebizond steamer has just arrived with the
mail. The Russians had crossed the Arpa Chai,
land had advanced as far as Godikler, near Little
Ararat. The Turks at Kars, after holding a long
war council, decided to act on the defensive, and
wait the approach of the enemy. Prince Daltah
Guriel, who had deserted from General Androni-
koff's army, and joined that of Selim Pacha at
Batoum, had been poisoned by a Russian spy.
Sidi Mohamed has just arrived here from Tunis
with a large sum of money, in the shape of a volun-
tary contribution from the Viceroy of that pro-
vince, towards defraying the war expenses. The
celebrated Circassian chief Naid Emin, has an-
nounced his intention of visiting Constantinople,
in order to make arrangements for a regular supply
of arms and ammunition for the mountains. He is
expected here by the next Black Sea steamer.
Piracy is on the increase in the Archipelago, and
if measures are not adopted, not a single British
vessel will dare to venture in these parts.

THE ANSWERS OF THE WESTERN
POWERS TO RUSSIA.

The Ost Deutsche Poste of Vienna of the 4th says :
—" It is positively stated that the answers of the
Western Powers, which are now officially known,
will not in any way give rise to the opening of fresh
negotiations. The two Powers have not entered
into any explanation. They purely and simply re-
ject the Russian propositions, and do not leave to
Russia the slightest grounds for renewing negotia-
tions. It is thought in diplomatic circles that the
Cabinet will not address a second summons or ulti-
matum to St. Petersburg, but will simply notify to
the Russian Cabinet that within a determinate and
very short delay, Austria will croupy the Princi-
palities iu conformity with the convention concluded
between her and the Porte. By this mode of action
the question will proceed very rapidly, as it will not
be requisite to wait for any answer from Russia."

RUSSIAN PROCLAMATION TO THE
WALLACHIANS.

The real cause of the Russian retreat from Wal-
lachia has been the subject of much speculation ;
some have ascribed the movement to the active
military virtues of the Turks, some to a certain
mysterious influence exercised by the quiescent
and immobile battalions at Varna, and some to the
Austrians, but few persons perhaps guessed that
the hot weather was at the bottom of it. Here,
however, it is under the hand of a Russian gene-
ral :---

the probable result of the race. For the Handicap
Plate, my "fancies" are for Henrietta, Longinus, and
the filly by Epirus.

• The races at Reading yesterday were marked by no
incident of especial importance. The betting on them
was very limited. The success of Brother to Grey
Tommy, for the Berkshire Stakes, was not totally un-
expected ; during the morning he was backed quietly at
7 and Bto 1. A larger attendance of general companY
and bookmakers was never seen at Reading. The day
was scorching hot, and spectators were not a little
annoyed by swarms of wasps. Indeed the cry of
" wops" was made with ludicrous frequency, and it re'
quired no ordinary dexterity to dodge these alarming
little insects. The racing was not sufficiently impor-
tant to call forth particular remark.

Wallachia published a proclamation, in which he
promises that no military events shall take place in
the Wallachian territory, and that when th© Rus-
sians shall be expelled, Turkey, in conjunction with
Austria, Prussia, and the Western Powers, will
re-establish the old administration. He concludes
by declaring that the Wallachians shall receive an
indemnity for the losses to which they have been
oubjected by the Russian occupation."

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—AuausT 8.

At this day's market there was only a small attendance
of buyers, and the business done was entirely for consump-
tion. Fine wheat and flour, owing to their eiztreme scar-
city, brought the rates of Tuesday last, being an advance
of 4d to 6d per 701 b. on the former,
and is to is 6cl per
barrel and sack on the latter article ; middling and infe-
rior descriptions, however, being more plentiful, lost
portion of the late advance. Oats and oatmeal barely
supported the prices of Tuesday. Barley, beans, and pees
quite neglected, and 2d per 601 b. and 2s per qr. lower'
Indian corn brought is per qr. more money.

THE CHOLERA AT GALLIPOLI.

It was understood in Paris on Monday, that no
less than four French generals had died of cholera
at Gallipoli. Their names are Generals Allonville,
Levaillant, D'Aurelle de Paladine, and de Monet.
The first-named general was well known in Paris.
He marched into Paris from Versailles at the head
of the carabineers on the day of the coup d'etat,
and has ever since been high in the confidence of
Marshal St. Arnaud. General Trochu, the head
of the staff of the army of the East, was reported
to be in a hopeless state when the boat which
brought this intelligence left. His death would be
an irreparable loss to the army. He is an officer of
first-rate abilities, and has been the life and soul of
all the arrangements since the expeditionary for,3e
left France. The colonel of the 13th Regiment of
the line (quartered at Gallipoli) is dead. Since su-
perior officers are not more liable to cholera than the
soldiers—but rather less so, on account of their
power to command greater comforts—this extraor-
dinary proportion of deaths among them implies a
frightful amount of mortality in the ranks. It is
said that General Couston, who lately went out
with troops for Gallipoli, declined, on his own re-
sponsibility, to land them there when he found
how destructive the epidemic had been, and sailed
on to Varna. The cholera is at Varna also, but
not in a very malignant form. General Trochu
was there, and not at Gallipoli, and although he
was reported to be in extremis, it is permitted to
hope that he may recover.
We find the following in a Malta letter of
the 2d :

"The cholera is very bad at Gallipoli. The French
have already lost two gen erals—Ney and Cara bu c-
cia—about 25 officers, and 550 men. The 4th
Regiment (English) had lost about 20 ; when my
informant (an officer in that regiment) left there
were 80 men in the hospital ; and on the 24th of
July there were six deaths, all decided cases of
cholera. The heat was intolerable, often with the
thermometer at 109 in the tents, and the water
was ye ry bad indeed."
London, England, 1854-08-09

remaisLia force for one, year, on the misunderstanding
that the noble lord (the President of the Council) would
pledgi*himself then to bring in another bill.
Lord HOTHAM said that in the course he had pur-
sued he had been actuated, by an imperious sense of
duty. If thenoble lord would accept the proposal now
thrown out he might be • induced to waive present
opposition.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that if his 'hon. friend the
member for Finsbury meant to propose the duration of
the bill for a year to the end of the "then next session,"
he was willing to accept the proposal. (Hear.)
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that such was the intention
of his suggestion.
Lord HOTHAM, under these circumstances, with-
drew his motion.
Lord J. RUSSELL wished it to be understood that
he would be at liberty to amend this bill in a future
session, or, on future consideration, continue it as at
present framed.
Mr. MALINS rejoiced that this compromise had been
arrived at, and trusted that on a future occasion the
noble lord would introduce the clause which had now
been under consideration. (Hear.)
The Lords' amendments were

THE MARCH OF REFINEMENT•'—An American dealer
in ready-made linen advertises his shirts and chemisettes
under the appellation of " male and female envelopes."
London, England, 1854-02-07

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

There was clear/y a much better tone in the market in
regard to Newminster for the Chester Cup ; 25 to 1 was
taken to upwards of 1501. The Star of Surrey is mani-
festly, in the estimation of several persons, a star of the
first magnitude ; 20 to 1 was taken freely about him.
We understand that in consequence of a change of owner-
ship he is gone into the Finden stable. 2,000 to 80 was
taken about Peggy, 2,000 to 70 about Nabob, 1,500 to
50 about Tom, and 1,000 to 25 Talfourd. _

The betting on the steeplechases was, for the most
part, to small sums. From 16 Bourton advaaced to 14
to 1, taken. The favourite was nominally at 7to 1.
THE DERBY.—Since the Flying Dutchman bore sway
there has not been any favourite so strong in the market
as Autocrat ' • 9 to 2 was taken this afternoon to nearly
7001. Four fifties were booked once, but our quotation
in the subjoined list tallies with the odds laid at the close.
His rival, King Tom, also received considerable support
from influential quarters ; 8 to 1 was taken in the aggre-
gate to 5001.
At the commencement of business 12 to 1 was taken
to a pony about Dervish, but 13 to 1 was repeatedly
offered afterwards ; 1,000 to 45 once, and 1,000 to 40
taken twice, about Ruby ; 2,500 to 100 about Wild
Huntsman, who is likely to be again "in full cry,"
whatever may be the result. 1,250 to 50 taken about
Acrobat, 1,000 to 30 Andover, and 500 to 10 each Me-
teora and Honeysuckle ; the last two were also backed
for the Oaks at the odds quoted below.
The room was well attended.

OATHS BILL.

Lord J. RUSSELL brought in the New Oath Bill,
which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a
second time on Monday fortnight.
NOTICES OF MOTION.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that on this day
fortnight he should move for leave to bring in a
bill to amend the act relative to the settlement
of disputes between master and servants by arbitration.
Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that this day fort-
night he should move the appointment of a select com-
mittee to inquire into the revenue and condition of
Ramsgate and the Cinque Ports.
NATIONAL EDUCATION.
Mr. ADDERLEY wished to ask Lord John Russell,
whether the Education Bill of last session will be re-
introduced, or any measure brought forward by the
Government this session, on the subject of national
education generally, or specially for the establishment
of pauper schools.
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was his intention to in-
troduce the bill of last session in the shape it was in
before. It was the intention of the Government rather
to wait to learn the efibct of the bill which was to be
introduced by the Lord Advocate for Scotland. With
respect to pauper schools, that question was still under
the consideration of the Government. (Hear, hear.)
TURKISH TREATIES.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to ask Lord John
Russell, if he could place on the table of the hoase
copies of the treaty of Kainardgi, the 16th day of July,
1774; treaty of Adrianople, the 4th day of September,
1829 ; treaty of linkiar Skelessi, 1833 ; ar`d treaties of
1840 and 1841.
Lord J. RUSSELL said there would be no objection
to produce the first two treaties.
CHURCH RATES.
Sir E. LACON begged to ask the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, whether it is the intention of
her Majesty's Government to introduce any measure
this session on the subject of church rates.
Lord PALMERSTON hoped to be able to introduce
such a measure very shortly.
POSTAGE STAMPS.

Mr. OLIVEIRA wished to ask the Secretary of the
Treasury, whether any impediment has presented itself
to the general issue of perforated postage stamps to the
public.
Mr. WILSON said the delay had been occasioned by
the demand for receipt stamps, but after to-day none
but perforated postage stamps would he issued by the
Inland Revenue Deoartment, a supply of which, he
hoped, would be ready to-morrow.
STANNARIES COURT.

Mr. COLLIER moved for leave to bring in a bill to
exttd thequrisdiction of the Stannaries Court to De-
=;lll.la ire;ancl-tia,define and regulate the cost-book sys-
' mnik of. mining, grid to limit, in some degree, the liability
ofpartners in cost-hook imnes.
IVLOPFATTiseconded the motion.
Tho,ATTORNPX-GENERAL said he should offer
Aie, no opponition to introduction of the bill, but, at the
e9fild not go the length which the bill
alitt S'AtaN.

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the Ist inst.
By a Roy-al decree of the 25th ult., M. Fernando
Zappiuo was appointed Governor of Corunna, M.
Augustin Gomez Inguanzo Governor of Santander,
and M. Garcia Pego of Burgos.
The general direction of the cavalry has been
confided to General Dulce.

The Queen had ordered a solemn service to be
celebrated, on the 2d, in the Church of Atocha„ to
thank Divine Providence for having saved her from
the knife of an assassin on that day. The grand
dignataries of the Palace were to assist at that
religious ceremony.
General Jose de la Concha, who had stopped at
Lerida, had been ordered to continue his journey.
He had accordingly set out for Barcelona, where
he was to embark for the Balearic Islands.
The Three per Cents. were done at 37n; the New
Three per Cents. at 19 ; the Debt of the "et
class, at 8 ; and that of the second at 41.
London, England, 1854-02-07

PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the appointment of a
Select Committee to consider, whether, by any altera-
tions in the forms and proceedings of this house, the
despatch of public business could be more effectually
promoted :—Sir John Pakington, Lord John Russell,
Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Evelyn Denison, Mr.
Sotheron, Mr. Greene, Mr. John Ball, Mr. Wilson
Patten, Mr. Brotherton, Sir George Grey, Mr. Wal-
pole, Lord Stanley, Mr. Hume and Mr. Bright.
The hon. bart. said an impression prevailed out of doors
that the greater part of their time was to talk, but that
was a mistake. Occasionally, however, there was too
much talk—(a laugh)—as, forinstance, last session, when
his right hon. friend the member for Buckinghamshire,
the present Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Pre-
sident of the Board of Control made speeches, each of
which occupied a whole evening. Now he had no
hesitation in saying that those speeches would have
been better in themselves, and more satisfactory to the
public, if they bad been considerably curtailed. (Hear.)
Sir G. GREY would not oppose the appointment of
the committee, but he cautioned the house against ex-
pecting that any great public advantage would result
from it.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY had no objection to the ap.
pointment of the committee, but the shortening of de.
bates must be left to the good sense and forbearance of
the house.
