The match between the Verderer and the Wren will
be run on Thursday.
As the number of events to come off each day will
render an early commencement indispensable, we would
advise those who intend to leave town in the morning,
to avail themselves of one of the early special trains
from the London-bridge station ; to start later than
eight o'clock will be to risk the loss of two or three
races.
We hear from head-quarters that the course is in very
good order, and the number of lodgings engaged at
Worthing, Bognor, Chichester, &c., warrant the ex-
pectation of a very brilliant meeting. A large party
will be entertained at Goodwood during the races.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Elfin Royal dispatch
yacht, Master-Commander Balliston, embarked the
Duchess of Kent and suite yesterday morning at. nine,
and landed her Royal Highness at the Clarence-yard,
Gosport, at 10.20, where a train, in charge of Mr. Super-
intendent R. W. Stevens, was in waiting to receive her
and convey her to town. Admiral Sir Bladen Capel,
K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief; Colonel Lewis, C. 8.,
Royal Engineers, Acting Lieutenant-Governor of Ports-
mouth; Captain Sir Edward Parry, Captain Lysons
(Town Major), Mr. Davies, R.N., &c.; and a guard of
honour of the 77th Regiment were in attendance, The
Elfin afterwards embarked the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor of London (Sir James Duke, M.P.) and suite,
and conveyed them to Osborne to pay their respects to
her Majesty, returning to Gosport in the afternoon en
route to London.

La Hogue steam guard-ship, GO, Captain M‘Dougall,
arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoo❑ from Sheerness,
She made 7.2 knots under steam alone, as an average
speed, on the passage round. Her depth of water is 24
feet aft and 22 feet forward, and the height of the mid-
ship lower deck port from the water is 5 feet 4 inches.
Her officers (ef whom she carries 41) state that they are
comfortably berthed considering the character of the
ship, and that there is no vibration perceptible; the
theimometer indicated 62 deg. under full steam. She
carries 210 tons of coals and the following tremendous
armanaent:—

No. Calibre. Weight. Length.
Lower dock 28 ... 32-pounders ... 56cwt. Oft. 6in.
Main deck 26 ... 8-inch ... 55 „ 9ft
Upper deck 4. . 84-pounders ... 85 „ Oft. bin.

2 ... 68-pounders ... 95 „ Oft. 6in.
Total, 60 guns, throwing a broadside of 2,8241 b. She
sails from Spithead this evening for Cork.
The Blazer, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
G. T. C. Smith, arrived at Spithead from the coast of
Africa, last from Lisbon, this morning.. Hcr dates are
—Sierra Leone, June 1; the Gambia, June 13; Boavista,
June 27; Teneriffe, July 9; and Lisbon, July 21. The
Centaur steam frigate, Commodore Fanshawe, C. 8., had
gone to the southward, sickly; the Cyclops, steam fri-
gate, Captain the Hon. G.F. Hastings, was in the Bights.
The Blazer does not give any information respecting the
engagement with the pirate felucca, which has gone the
round of the papers during the past week. She heard
no authentic information upon the subject. A report
had reached Sierra Leone of such an engagement, but
no dates, names, or circumstances in corroboration were
supplied. The Castor, 36, Commodore Wyvill, had
been into Teneriffe, whilst the Blazer lay there, and
sailed for the Cope prior to the 9th. Commander
Kenyon, of the Cygnet, came home passenger in the
Blazer, having been relieved by Commander Robertson,
off Congo, on the Sth of May. Commander Kenyon
has done something towards the suppression of the
slave trade, having made, during his command of the
Cygnet (ebout 17 months only). five captures, and libe-
rated 1,140 slaves from them. One prize taken by him
on the 27th of January last was the first vessel and cargo
ever taken or sent into St. Helena as a prize. She was
a fine brig of 250 tons, under American colours—the
Harriet, of Philadelphia, and had in her 755 slaves. The
Blazer, although a steamer, has been less useful, having
only made three prizes during the whole term of her
service on the station, but this is not surprising, when
(we are informed) she will not steam more than five or
six knots an hour, just about half the speed of a sailing
brig. In joint chase after a fine slave felucca, the
Cygnet beat Mr. White's new crack brig Contest, before
the wind, a " beat" which was admitted by the Contest.
She was to leave Ascension for England on the Ist of
July. The Philomel was to leave on the Ist of August.
The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, arrived at Cowes
this morning to join the royal squadron.
The royal yacht Victoria and Albert will leave for
Cowes to-morrow afternoon, coaled and stored for the
voyage to Ireland.

The Meanee, 80, new ship, Commander I•aglefield,
with nearly 500 wounded soldiers, who fought in the
battle of Chillianwallah; and the Melampus, 42, acting
Captain Mason, arrived at Spithead this morning, from
Bombay. They sailed this morning for Chatham, to be
paid off.
The Southampton, Captain Bowes, one of Green's
fleet, sailed this evening from Spithead, for Calcutta
direct, full of passengers.
WooLwicrt, JULY 29.—The Black Eagle steam-vessel,
Master• Commander S. B. Cook, left Woolwich yesterday
fur Portsmouth, to form one of the vessels of the Royal
squadron. Iler Majesty has decided on embarking in
the Royal Victoria and Albert steam-yacht an Wed-
nesday afternoon, the Ist of August.
The Atholl troop-ship, Master-Commander Pearn,
has postponed the embarkation of the companies of the
Royal Artillery, and the company of Royal Sappers,
until the Ist of August. A correspondence has taken
place relative to
,the accommodation of the companies
on board the vessel, and it is now doubtful whether the
company for the Mauritius will proceed in her, or by a
freight ship. This has arisen owing to complaints hav-
ing been made that when three companies embark at
one time there are so many women and children as to
greatly incommode the men. The authorities are mak-
ing every exertion to remove all cause of complaint.

LAW IN TELLIGEN CE.
'TICE- CHANCE RY COURT, July 28.
(Before Sir J. Wicxem.)
BROADEN V. SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. MALINS stated that the parties in this case had
not been able to come to any agreement on the matters
in dispute, and that the question must therefore be left
to the decision of the Court.

his HONOUR then, after going through the several
proceedings which had taken place in this motion, from
the first application of the plaintiff for an injunction to
restrain the company from putting an end to the contract
and removing the contractor, to the present motion by
the company for the committal of the plaintiff for non-
performance of his undertaking to deliver up the rail-
way to the company, if lie should fail to complete the
works by 12 o'clock on the night of Friday, the 20th
instant, said that this Court would not, either on mo.
tion or on bill, entbrce a forfeiture, as it was now asked
to do. If the works had not been completed until a few
minutes or a few hours after the time named, and no
substantial damage had accrued to the company, the
Court would not consider the time to he so much of the
essence of the contract as to entitle the comp:my to say
they would take possession of the works, and the con-
tractor should be deprived of the 5,0001. expedition
money and of the right which his contract gave him of
keeping the works in repair for two years at the expeuse
of the company. If the Court should interfere, it would
only be on the terms of the company paying the 5,000/.
unconditionally, and accounting for the profit which the
contractor would have made during the two years to
come. How that amount of profit should be ascertained
was a question of some difficulty. If this were left to
the Court, he would endeavour to determine it.

THE BRIGHTON PAVILION.—As our readers are
aware, a Bill has just passed the two Houses of Parlia-
ment authorising the Commissioners of her Majesty's
Woods and Forests to sell the Pavilion at Brighton.
It is also known that the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests have agreed to give the town of Brighton the
option of purchasing the palace for 53.0004, prodded
that they decide on doing so within.a month. A
vestry meeting of the inhabitants of Brighton was
accordingly held on Friday, to take the subject
into consideration. The meeting was attended by
nearly 1,000 of the most influential resident gentry
and tradesmen of the parish, the Rev. H. M. Wagner,
vicar, in the chair. A report, detailing the result of
the negotiations with the Woods and Forests, having
been read to the meeting, Mr. Moses Ricardo moved,
and Mr. Bass seconded, a resolution approving the pur-
chase, after some discussion on the subject, was carried
unanimously. Only one person spoke against the pur-
chase, and ho declined supporting his opinion by a vote.
A committee of eighteen inhabitants, half being com-
missioners under the Local Improvement Act, was ap-
pointed to take the necessary steps for completing the
purchase, and framing a Bill to be introduced into the
next session of Parliament, authorising the levy of a rate
to provide the funds. According to the calculation made
by Mr. L. Slight (clerk to the Bighton Commissioners) a
ad. rate will pay off the principal and interest, if the
money is borrowed, in 24 years.
DANCERS' PROVIDENT SOCIETY.--On Saturday the
annual meeting of the members and friends of this so.
ciety took place in the saloon of the Theatre Royal,
Haymarket, Mr. J. Byrne presiding. The chairman,
after stating the objects of the meeting, gave a short
history of the rise and progress of this society, which,
he said, now consisted of a considerable number of mem-
bers, and had a fund of 5401. invested, 20/. in hand,
420 k owing by subscribers, besides which it had an in-
come of 2001. per annum. The receipts for the past
year, ending July 27, had been 173/. 19s. 6d., and the
expenditure 169/. 2s. 7d., leaving a balance in hand of
41. 16s. I Id. A proposition for establishing a theatrical
dancing school having been discussed at great length,
was put from the chair and lost; as was also a motionfor
reducing the number of the committee, &c. A resolution
was passed to compel subscribers in arrear, that were
able to do so, to pay up their subscriptions within a
given time; and after a committee for the ensuing year
had been chosen, votes of thanks to the committee and
chairman for their past services, closed the proceedings.
DEATH or MR. JOHN ROBERTSON.—The Railway
Record contains a notice of the death of Mr. John Ro-
bertson, the projector and editor of that journal. Mr.
Robertson died of cholera. He expired within twelve
hours of the time ho was first attacked. He was in the
office attending to his editorial duties in the morning,
and expired before the evening. A generous tribute is
paid to Mr. Robertson's character. He was a man of
cultivated mind, of varied attainments, of andsuperie!
his
versatile talents as a writer, and of an exceedingly
generous disposition. Mr. Robertson was in thirty
ninth year.

had conceived a violent passion, was sent to a convent,
and that there she attempted to commit suicide by hang-

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The share market, during the week, has not presented
anything approaching to activity; still, on the aggregate,
a fair proportion of business may be considered done.
The reports from the mines, and our correspondence
from the respective mining districts, speak favourably of
theimproved aspect of the mines and mining interest
generally.
Devon Great Consols is represented to maintain her
general character of looking well. Transactions in a few
shares have been done this week. After payment of the
dividend of 61. per share, declared on the 18th, and an-
nounced in our last journal, there remained in hand a
balance of 18,394/. 195., consisting of Exchequer-bills,
bills for ores sold, and cash at the banker's.
West Providence meeting declared a dividend of 2L
per 256th share; the mine is reported to be looking re-
markably well.
East Wheal Rose is represented to have much improved
of late, and to continue in a progressing position. South
Bassett is also stated to be looking remarkably well;
buyers are to be found in both mines.
13,dford United shares have been rather in request
during the week. The sale of 115 tons of copper ore,
last week, gave a profit of about 400/. for the month of
June. East and South Tamar are represented to have
improved, and business done in both mine:.
A great many shares in Treleigh Consols have
changed hands, and buyers are still to be found. In-
quiries are being made for Trelawney, Tincroft, Tamar
Consols, and Mendip Hills.
At Tregorden Silver Lead Mine, near Wadebrige, a
very important discovery has been made. It appears
the workings have for some time been on the east wall of
the lode, and in driving a cross•eut west, a course of ore
has been cut, worth 151. per frn.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands this
week : —Devon Great Consols, East Wheal Rose, Bed-
ford United, South Basset, South Frances, East
.Tamar,
Treleigh Consols, Trelawney, South Tamar, Tincroft,
Tamar Consols, Brewer, Treviskey and Barrier, Lewis,
Wellington, Esgair Lli, Herodsfoot, Cwm Erfin, Alfred
Consols, Mendip Hills, Tregorden, Condurrow, &c.
In foreign mines the principal business appear to have
been in St. John del Rey, United Mexican, Guadalcanal,
Asturian, Copiapo, and Australian, although the whole
transacted may be considered of rather a limited
character.

'The adjourned meeting of the East and South Tamar
mines was held at the offices on Thursday, when it was
found that all the calls had been paid for the forfeiture,
of which the meeting was adjourned to that day. A call
of 2s. 6d. per share was deemed necessary for the further
prosecution of South Tamar, and made accordingly.
The mine is represented to have considerably improved,
and that 45 tons of silver lead ore, it is expected, will be
ready for sampling by the middle of next month.
East Godolphin meeting was held on the 20th, when
the accounts for four months, up to June, were audited,
showing a balance against the adventurers of 3761. Us.
lid., to meet which, and for further workings, a call of
50s. per share was made.

The quarterly general meeting of the Pennant and
Craigwen Company was held at the office on Thursday
last. The report was considered to be satisfdctory; it
shows that the necessary machinery (the want of which
has so much retarded the progress of the undertaking)
is now on its way to the mines. It was asserted at the
meeting that the estimated value of ore laid open is 10,0001.,
and that a considerable supply was ready at surface
waiting for the crusher. Tne balance in the company's
hands is 8441., in addition to 1,003/. 10e. arrears of calls,
and in respect to which it was resolved, that all shares
on which such calls are due shall be forfeited, if not paid
before the expiration of one month. The machinery
has been constructed by Messrs. Taylor, of the Adelphi,
at the Rhyl-y-Mwyn Foundry, near Mold.
At the %Vest Downs meeting the accounts showed a
balance against the mine of 2631. 4s. 10d. A call of ss.
was made.

At the Caradon Wheal Hooper meeting the accounts
showed a balance in favour of the mine of 2041. 10s. A
call of 21. per share was made.
The Bolanos Mines letters are to the 4th of June, and
were received on the 23d inst. The engine at El Bote
Mine had been completed, and the water drained in San
Genaro shaft, so as to enable them to commence driving
Taylor's Gross cut, which had been extended 1i vara
during the week. Operations had commenced, and pre-
parations making, at the different points from whence
the ore was, and expected to be, raised. During the last
fortnight 182 cargas had been extracted, principally from
the Compania level east, but which had since failed; still
their anticipation of general improvement is reasonable,
as they had not reached the ore ground to which they
were approaching.
The Australian Mining Company have received advices
from the mines to the 7th April, from which it appears
that about 730 tons of ore have been raised from the
commencement. At Anstey's shaft, the operations in
the 40 fathom level, north and south of Goad's wine,
continues productive, which has recently improved by a
discovery of rich ore, running on the opposite wall of the
lode. In the lode in the 40, north from Harvey's cross cut,
a course of solid ore has been cut, averaging full 36 per
cent, for copper. The lode south from the cross-cut, in
the same level, is considered equally valuable. Other
points are considered equally important: 36 men are
engaged in raising ore, and 100 tons may be expected
for the month of April. The prospects of the mines are
encouraging, with every appearance of progressive im-
provement.
St. John del Rey directors have received advices from
the mines to the 18th May. The gold extracted from
last accounts to date was 7,164 oits.; the supply of stone
Ives chiefly from the refuse heap.
From Barossa Runge, advices have been received from
Adelaide. The reports from the mines are favourable,
and 40 tons of rich ore (worth 800/.) were shipped for
the company in April last.
By letters received, dated 13th June, we learn that
arrangements have been made in Mexico for the pur-
chase of the Real del Monte Mines. It appears that a
company is in course of formation, with a capital of
700,000 dolls., in 350 shares, of 2,000 dolls. each, the
property being valued at 350.000 dolls. Some shares
are reserved for such parties in, England who may be in-
clined to take them.

ACCIDENT AT F Y
,ToN.— esterday morning, about
eight o'clock, Mr. Blore
( a son of the celebrated archi-
tect), while bathing with a friend at the weir below
Windsor-bridge, got into an eddy, became alarmed, and
began to sick; his friend immediately swam to his
assistance, but not being a very expert swimmer, both
were in imminent danger of being drowned. At this
juncture Mr. Seeker, brother to the police magistrate,
and town-clerk of Windsor, saw the two gentlemen in
the water, and called out for aid, just as Messrs. Cave,
Colquhoun, and Fellowes acre landing above the weir;
the latter at once threw off his clothes, and swam to Mr.
Blore. It was of course a matter of some difficulty to
get him out of the eddy, but with the aid of Mr. Col-
quhoun, he was at length dragged to the steps, foaming
at the mouth, and in a state or great exhaustion. The
whole party were old Etonians, except Mr. Colquhoun,
who is an old Westminster.
