" I'll issue notes
Which may on fortune's 'change be barter'd
For much money." WALLYNGE.
" I have observed thee always for a to wardly prompt
srißrr give thee thy
,due—and one that knows
what belongs to reason.
7'imon of Athens, Act 3, Scene 1.
" In nature's infinite book of secrccy,
A little I can read."
" Make thee a fortune from me."
Antony and Cleopatra.
" The TURF'S mine oyster,
Which I with judgment will open."
SumisrEanaslightly altered).
" Men's judgments aro
A parcel of their fortunes."
Antony and Ceopatra, Act. 3, Scene 2.
" There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune ;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows, and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures."
Julius Crsar, Act 4, Scene 3.
" 'Tis now the promised hour, that must proclaim
The life or death of my prophetic fame.', —BYRON.
" The English nation loves a horse ;_
Moles race ; and likes a bet, of course"
Te Ring.

" Wo justly boast
At least superior jockeyship, and claim
The honours of the turf as all our own I"
COWPER.
" Not thoso fam'd mares which erst the prophet bore,
Nor those fierce steeds Achilles lashed of yore ;
Nor all which ever spurn'd Olympic dust,
Tho' sung by Pindar's self, and ta'en on trust
By after ages could compete with ours,
For swiftness, courgo, and enduring powers."
The Ring.

" I do love RACING, 'Lisa noble sport;
'Tis manly, joyous, and exhilarating;
I'll bet a dozen of old bce's-wing port,
You'll not name ono that's half so animating."
The Sportsman.
" Age cannot wither it, nor custom stale
lts infinite variety."
SHAKSPERE.
" In this one passion, man can strength enjoy,
As fits give vigour just when they destroy ;
Time, that on all things lays his lenient hand,
Yet tames not this; it sticks to the last sand."
POPE.
" Go to Newmarket's flat!
There racing stands unrivalled—scarce a blade
Of bolder grass exalts its withcr'd head ;
To mar tie velvet turf—no stands aro seen,
To court the crowd—'tis business wo mean."
The Ring.
" Now comes apace the evening of the year,
With all its sunset glories spread around."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS.
SIR,—Again
" It is the deep and mystic hour,
When nature sinks into repose,"
ghat finds me " weaving out the threads of fate," re-

viewing the past's eventful page,
" And noting, ere they fade away
The little lines of yesterday."
" How dull and leaden beats the busy brain
While brooding o'er and calling up the past !
The very thoughts seem girded with a chain,
The mind bowed down beneath a scene so vast."
The Past !—" the present business which now's upon
us," I will at once proceed with, remembering what
Shakspere says, that " brevity is the soul of wit," and he
might have added with equal truth, of business (in every

shape) likewise.
" Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit (and business),
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will ba brief,"
as the many subjects I have to handle will allow of.
That the running of the present season has been of a
most inconsistent in-and-out nature, no one can deny;
but that the fault lies entirely with the horse, I cannot
for an instant believe. I ascrite the inconsistency to the
different lengths and natures of the courses, the state of
the ground, and the heat of the weather; it is a very
rare thing to find horses like the Flying Dutchman,
'radmor, Lady Evelyn, cud Canczou, that can run truly
any course, hard or soft, from half a mile to four.
The first notable feat in the handicap departmr.nt was
the victory of Fe..rnhill, 4 yrs, at Get 81b, defeating Loup
Garou, 3 yrs, sst 21b, and the " potted Tartar," 5 yrs, ist
91b (the latter backed at 7 to 4), for the Great North-
ampton Stake; 2 miles, in 3 min. 42 sec.; from that
time up to present Fernhill has run remarkably well,
having run second to Canczou, 4 Sri, Sst 71b, for
the Newmarket Handicap, lsl miles, in 3 min. 21 sec.; won
the Metropolitan Stakes at Est 131 b, beating Peep-o'• day
Boy, 5 yrs, Sat 71b, 2i miles, in 4 min 34 eec; ran
sceond at Bst to the Hero, 6 yrs, 9st 41b, for the Ebor
Handicap, 2 miles, or more correctly 1 m. 7 fur. 120 yds,
in 3 min 26 sees; ran sceond likewise at 7st 101 b to
Snowstorm for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, 1 m 6 fur
132 yds, in 3 min 22 sec; was a bad fourth, carrying
only 7st 51b, to Miss Ann, 3 yrs, sst 21b, for the Lea-
mington Stakes, 2 miles 44 yds, run in 3 min 46 secs,
Grief, 3 yrs, sst, being second, and Ellerdale, 5 yrs, Bst,
third; and finished by running second for the fourth
time this year, at Bst 71b, to Psalmsinger, aged, Bst 51b,
for the Chesterfield Handicap at Manchester, 2 m
220 yds in 4 min 13 sec.
The Somersetshire Stakes, 2 miles, 240 yards. Esse-
darius, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b, won by a length, beating Loup
Garou, 3 yrs, sst, in 4 min 15 secs; Essedarius also won
the Suffolk Stakes, l miles, in 2 min 46 sec; and has
since run third, carrying Est 41b, to Vampyre, 5 yrs,
7st 91b, for the Ascot Stakes, 21 miles, run in 4 min 26
see; he was also beaten a length cleverly, at sst 61b, by
Bon Mot. 3 yrs, sst, for the Liverpool Cup, 2 miles, in,
3 min 25 sec.
The Chester Cup was this year won by Mallon, 4 rs,
Est 1011), in 4 min 16 sec, distance 24 miles, beating
Cossack, 5 yrs, 9st I.lb, by a neck! Loup-garou, 3 yrs,

ABERDEEN.
The directors intend to open a further portion of
this line early next month, extending a distance of
27 miles, to a point three miles north of Stonehaven,
and to within 12 miles of Aberdeen. The works on
the remaining portion to Aberdeen are advancing ra-
pidly, with a view to their completion by the end of
the year.

EDINBURGH, PERTH, AND DUNDEE.
The directors of this (formerly the Edinburgh and
Northern) company have issued their report to be
presented to the half-yearly meeting of shareholders
to-morrow. It states with regard to the capital ac-
count, that the total assets to the 31st of July, inclu-
sive of those for the Leith and Granton line, amount
to 1,961,6921., and the expenditure, inclusive also of
the Leith and Granton, to 2,511,5711. The expendi-
ture during the lust half-year amounts to '217,343/. ;
the unproductive capital is estimated at 300,0001,
expended chiefly on the Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy
Harbour Branches, the Tay Ferry, and Granton Pier-
works. The capital authorized by the company's Acts
is, share capital, 2,.500,2601. ; loans, 833,352/. ; total,
3,333,612/. ; from which there is to be deducted of un-
i-sued capital, 69,1751.; leaving 3,264,4371.; but this
amount will be diminished materially. First—to
the extent of the capital represented by works and
branches, the construction of which may be corsi-
dered as postponed, viz.:—Leith Branch Extension,
&c., 90,323/. ; Roscobie and Keltyhead branches,
166,666/. 13.4 d.; Burnt-island harbour improve-
ment, 33,333/. 6s. Bd. ; together, 290,3231. And,
second—by
.the measures adopted at the previous
half yearly meeting, whereby certain shares are
directed to be restricted in amount and others forfeited,
involving an amount of 266,9481. By these reduc-
tions, amounting in the aggregate to 557,2711., the
immediate capital is reduced to 2,707,166'. About
36,0001. will be credited to the .ompany the forfeiture
of shares ; and the arrears on other shares amount to
29,635/., but it is recommended that 613 shares on
which 4,1471. appears to be irrecoverable should be
forfeited. In anticipation of the issue of the prefer-
ence share capital, recently authorised, the directors
have already given off shares to some amount. Con-
sidering the rate of guarantee at which that stock is
to be issued, and that the company is unincumbered
with other preferential obligations, save to the extent
of G per cent. interest on 96,9201., it is to be expected
that these shares will be in request as a good and safe
investment.
Revenue Account—The revenue for the half-year
amounts to 52,2301., to which there is to be added
5,3081., the balance on the former half-year. De-
ducting working and other charges, and the sum of
10,4461. of interest on loan capital, chargeable against
the half-year's revenue, there remains 8,5161. Out of
this sum there will be payable 2,4231., being the half-
year's dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
on 96,9201., the paid-up amount of Granton prefers
ence capital ; and the balance of 6,0931. has been ap-
plied toward the payment of interest on those tempo-
rary advances from bankers and others which will
necessarily be extinguised by the funds to be realised
from the preference share capital of the company.
The passengers and goods carried during the half-
year have been 656,834 passengers ; goods and mine-
rals, 120,888 tons ; gross receipts, 56,8141. Although
the revenue falls greatly short of its estimated amount
the directors conceive that there is no ground what-
ever for disappointment. The directors incline to the
opinion that working the railm ay by contract would
not effect a saving of expense. With regard to the
ferries the case may be different. The directors are
inclined to recommend that the rolling stock, which
is now in a very efficient state, be maintained in
that state of efficiency out of the current revenue ;
and that an annual sum be laid aside for the re-
placement of rails, chairs, sleepers, &c. They
would also recommend that an annual sum be laid
aside to meet the depreciation and replacement of the
steam-vessels. The remaining four miles of the Dun-
fermline branch will be opened next month. The
engineers' report speaks favorably of the progress of
the works. The accounts show that 2,241,2761. was
expended, leaving a balance against the company of
550,5921.

The Grand Duke Michael Stakes, value 6501., will
find their way into the pocket of Sir J. Hawley, with
Vatican, without Honeycomb should take a fit into his
head to go a burster from end to end ; these two, with
Fire King, Escalade, or Champion, and the Mecca colt,
will form the field.
For the Hopeful Stakes commend me to Paul or Pe-
nang ; Bolingbroke and Nutshell may head the ruck.
For the Two yrs old Triennial Stakes, some nine or ten,
at the least, will run, to be selected from the following:
—Marchesina filly, Abdallab, Brother to Epirote, The
Knight of Avenel, one of Lord Exeter's, Hippia, one of
Lord Cliften's, Zadock, Hardinge, William the Con-
queror, or Ghillie Callum, and Give-and-Take. The
race I sum up in a few words:—lf Ghillie Callum runs,
he or Hardinge wins it! The Knight and William fol-
lowing at their heels.
One of the Duke of Bedford's, probably glasimodo,
Chicot, Tancred, Indus, and Queensberry, are the
starters for the St. Leger Stakes; Loup-garou, not being
fit, is not likely to show, it he did he would win the race
in a trot; as it is I must rely on Queensberry to pull
me through, with Quasimcdo, Indus, and Chicot, in very
close attendance.
A 50 sovs. Stake will go to Colonel Peel with Longi-
nus; and the Granby to the Duke of Bedford, with John
o'Groat.
For the Three years old Triennial Stakes, Borneo,
Champion, Mecca colt, Vatican, Herbert, Memento,
Fire King, Tadmor, Highland Fling, Elthiron, Nina,
and Fire Eater, include all that will be found at the
post on Thursday ; and should the quadrupedal repre•

STRIKE or THE ENGINE-DRIVERS ON THE YORK,
NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICE.—The engine drivers On
this company's main line and branches having entered
into a union for an advance of wages, the directors
state that they have not given notice of a reduction
of wages to any class of men, nor have they any in-
tention of so doing, but that, on the contrary, they
have offered to advance the wages of a certain class
of enginemen above the rates paid at any former
period. The men, it is said, admit that they have
nothing to complain of as to the manner in which
they have been treated by the locomotive suprin-
tendent, and the sole question, the directors observe,
is one of wages, combined with an attempt at undue
influence with the management of the line, by stipu-
lating that all the men hereafter be appointed and
promoted only in accordance with the rules and regu-
lations laid down by themselves. The directors, on
dissatisfaction breaking out, obtained returns of all
the other railways, and proposed a scale of remune-
ration which they considered more than equivalent to
that paid by other companies. They have proposed
to advance the wages of all the enginemen employed
in the coal and mineral traffic, so that none of them
shall receive less than ss. a day, and to promote them
as vacancies occur, to the passenger trains, where
tha remuneration will be 7s. The scale of wages de-
manded by the men is, for merchandise and passenger

aad 7s. afterwards. Those proposed by
are-55., ss. Gd., 6s. Gd., and 7s. respectively. All

paid at the latter rate. For coalantrdafilnecwalinhenne,ntankoewn

with what they consider to be unreasonable demands.
LANCASHIRE AND YORKEIIIRE.—The dangerous
curves upon this line at Charleston have just been
reduced from a radius of 660 to one of 2,000 feet.
LONDON AND NORTII-WESTERN AND GREAT
WESTERN Comr..smEs.—The arrangements on foot
between the managers of these companies are not yet
concluded, but they are going on actively and satis-
factorily. They are intended to extend beyond
limiting the capital expenditure. The Birmingham
and Oxford purchase, for instance, is to be taken
into consideration, with the view of relieving the
London and North-Western of the opposition of that
line, and of relieving the Great Western from bearing
the whole cost of ecnstruction, including the pur-
chase money. The London and IN orth- Western aro
to share the cost of the Birmingham and Oxford.
This is the object in view, but whether it will he car-

AUSTRIA.

One of the Vienna journals announces, on autho-
rity of a letter from Wadouric, in Gallicia, that
20,000 Russian troops and 4,000 cavalry were to
proceed to Cracow, to await orders as to their desti-
nation ; and 42,000 men with 18,000 cavalry were
to occupy the circles of Jaslo, Tarnow, Perzonsi,
and Landec.

Notwithstanding the extensive destruction of the
Hungarian bank-notes, made by order of the Austrian
Government, there were still, it is calculated, notes
of 62,000,000 florins in circulation.

PRUSSIA.

The Upper Chamber was rapidly getting through
the revision of the Constitution ; the article restrict-
ing the intervention of the armed force to the cases
in which it shall be authorised to act by the civil
power NV as confirmed. An amendment, proposing
that the exceptions to this rule should be defined by
a specific law, was negatived.

BADEN.

The Baden Government has just decreed that
2,000,000 florins in paper-money shall be issued in
notes of 2, 10, and 35 florins, in execution of the lair
cf March 3, 1849.

BAVARIA.

The Nuremburg Correspondent publishes a formal
declaration of the Bavarian Government, dated the
Bth, to the effect that it will not accede to the treaty
of the three Kings.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
THE EXPECTED BREVET.—We have reason to
belive that nothing is yet positively decided as to the
number of promotions to be made in the army and
ravy in honour of the Queen's late visit to Ireland.
Report, we are sorry to find, is making them worse
by degrees and miserably less. It is said that the
brevet promotions in the army will not exceed 22,
and that in the navy they will not exceed, in all
ranks, 15 officers, the brevet in honour of the visit of
George IV. being taken as a precedent. Next week
we hope to be able to announce the fortunate names.
APP CAL OF EX-COMMANDER PITMAN AGAINST HIS
SENTENCO.—We may, with some confidence in our
information, announce that Mr. Pitman, late Col:a-
-u:ander of the Childers, dismissed the Royal Navy
last week, has determined on appealing to the Court
of Queen's Bench againstethe result of the court-
martial, and with the view of superseding
..the
sentence passed upon him.
THE CAPTAIN'S APPOINTMENT TO GREENWICH
lIDSPITAL.—We are enabled to state that the vacant
appointment to the establishment of the Royal
hospital, Greenwich, has been bestowed on Captain
Aaron Tozer (1830), of Plymouth.
THE CAPTAINS' GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—It iS
reported on pretty good authority, that the vacant
good-service pension, which falls in hand by the pro-
motion of Rear-Admiral Sir Gordon Bremer, will in
all probability be bestowed_ini s
on m

PROFESSIONAL FEELING AGAINST EX-COMMANDER
PITMAN.—WC trust that there is no foundation for
the following report :—" I was told that after the
sentence was passed, and. the Court broke up, and
rtis were about to go on shore, some one called
cut for a boat for Coniniander Pitman, when one of
the officers belonging to the ship said there was no
such person there ; there was a Mr. Pitman,_ if that
was the person the party meant." I.ne gallant
" officer of the ship" might, for decency sake, have
restrained his feelings. Such a display of sympathy
with the Eentence of the court martial was more
virtuous than courteous or gentlemanlike.
HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP ALBATROSS.---This sloop,
commanded by Captain Farquhar, now in the East
Indies, may be expected in England in about six
months' time. She is ordered to quit the East
