THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OP THE CANADA.
LIVERPOOL, JULY 28.--This splendid and unri-
valled steam-ship, under the command of Captain
Judkins, reached the Mersey this afternoon, having
made the run from Boston, including the call and
stoppage at Halifax, in little more than ten days.
The Niagara arrived at New York on the 14'h, and
the Caledonia had reached Halifax and proceeded on
to Boston.
The Canada brings 129 passengers and the usual
mails.
The dates now to hand are—Boston, July 18 ; New
York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, July 17 ; Montreal,
July 16 ; and Halifax, July 18.
The news is not important. Cholera was making
sad havoc, and business generally was quiet.

TO THE EDITOR OF TliE SUN.
SlR,—Goodwood !
" Calm and balmy spot,
Recalls me pleasures unforgot ;"
" Whilst I can hold a pen
I will divulge thy glory unto men ;
Thou in the morning, when my coin is scant,
Before the evening doth supply my want."
This El Dorado, this California of the turfite, where
"one day makes him rich for all the year," we are upon
the eve of its forty-eighth meeting. It was founded by
the third Duke of Richmond, in 1802; but of no account
up to 1830, when the Grand Stand was erected; from
which time it has gradually risen from the rank of an
ordinary " provincial," to be the first meeting (as the
Derby is the first race) in the world.
The annual average amount of money run for, for
nearly thirty years (lid not exceed 8001. ; but in 1834 it
made a startling advance to 6,0001., and for the
last half-dozen years the average has been over
20,000/. This success is mainly attributable to
the predilection which the present head of the
house of Lennox has for racing, and to the unceasing
exertions of that " master mind" of the turf—Lord
George Rentinck, by whose death the Goodwood meet-
ing sustained a loss to that extent, it will not easily re-
cover from—

"For, for their souls,
Another of his fathom they have not
To lead their business."

This princely tryst in the park of Goodwood com-
mences to-morrow, extends over four days, and will
(weather permitting) be one of the most brilliant on re-
cord. There are no less than forty-five engagements,
including matches, en the list at the present moment;
which will satisfy, I should imagine, the appetite of the
most inveterate turf gourmand. AndC now to

"Look'into the seeds of time,
And see which grain will grow, and which will not."
The sport begins with the Craven Stakes, won last
year by the Hero, who, it is more than probable, will
repeat the heroic victory, although as yet the entries are
not yet declared.
The Gratwicke, the most valuable stake at Goodwood,
was started in compliment to that thorough bred old
English gentleman, Mr. Gratwicke, in 1842; when it
was won by " the crack," Robert de Gorham, by twenty
lengths ; it was also wo❑ by the favourites, Cotherstono
and Ithuriel, in 1843 and 1844; in 1845, the Merry
Monarch, with 4 to 1 betted on him, was beaten a head
by Hersey; in 1846 and 1847 it was won by the fa-
vourites Joinvilie and Red Hart; and last year, for the
second time, a very inferior filly bowled over the winner
of the Derby, Distaffina, Bst 21b, having a length the best
of Surplice, Bst 101 b, at the winning chair.
This stake has three prizes, something more than
2,3001. for the first horse, 200/. for the second, and 100/.
for the third; consequently we may expect to see a field
of five or six, at the least, contest this stako to .morrow.
The most certain runners are Tadmor, Bst 71b, Belus,
Bst 41b, Vanguard, Bst 101 b, Herbert, Bst 101 b, and
Cambric, Bst 41b; but one or two of the following may
also start:—lndus, Bst 101 b, Solon, Bst 101 b, Rochester,
Bst 71b, Letitia, Bst 51b, and Jelly Fish, Bst 51b.
For the winner I must look to the quadrupedal
representative
" Of ancient Tadmor, which the poets tell,
Charm'd into grandeur by unearthly spell,
Bear'd in an instant, 'midst the deserts waste."
And with respect to the position of the others, I should
place them thus—
Tadmor (Nat) 1
Belus (Marlow) 2
Vanguard
Herbert (Robinson) 4
The Levant Stakes will induce from four to six to
show at the post, viz.—William the Conqueror or Harum
Scarem, Hood, Rose Pompon, Sidus, St. Agnes, and
Manufacturer. The race is booked a certainty for the
Goodwood nag; if he can dispose of Sidus, it is so.
The Great 300 sous. Stakes, value clear to the winner

1,050/., has to be contested over the severest course at
Goodwood, the New Queen's Plate Course, about three
miles and five furlongs. This, for a horse like Loadstone,
whose " pins" are queer, is no joke; had he been sound,
there would not have been the slightest doubt about his
winning; as it is, I must couple his name with the son of
Grace Darling, and shout nil desperandum. If Loadstone
can be brought to the post tolerably well up to the mark.
the result I presume will be as follows:
Loadstone (Nat or Robinson) 1
Nil Desperandum (Day) 2
Glen Saddle . (Marlow) 3
Backbite

For the Ham Stakes—Tingle, Bst 416; Harum
Scarem, Bst 411); Cora, Bst llb; Narbonne, Bst 41b;
Hardinge, Bst 10lb; or Longinus, Bst 71b; The Italian,
Bst 101 b; and colt by Epirus, out of Mickleton Maid,
Bst 101 b, with perhaps another or two, are all that are
likely to run. If the running of Tingle, and The Italian
at Liverpool was true, the filly in this race, the course
being longer (three-quarters of a mile), must perforce
have the best of it. I expect to see Cora, the Epirus
colt, and Colonel Peel's nog, in the immediate rear of
the winner.
Casachia, 5 yrs, Bst 41h; Wallflower, 3 yrs, Est 91b;
and Rattrap, 6 yrs, Bst 91b, look the best on paper for
the Orange Stakes. And Cariboo, 6st 71b; Versus Mirror,
Bst 71b; and Crucible, Bst 71b; versus Buffalo Gal,
Bst 21b, over the T.Y.C. for their respective matches.
Four of Wednesday's races, the Stewards' Cup,
Members' Plate, 10 sovs., and Cowdray Stakes, have yet
to close and name,

The Bunney Stakes of 300 aovs. each, 20 ft, would
have produced a pretty race between Officious and
Pitsford, had they allowed the Derby crack to run; but
this stake, like the Lavant, was not considered valuable
enough (some 4201) in his owner's opinion, to warrant
his being " pulled out," thus verifying the old adage,
" Aquila non captat muscas."
A Sweepstakes of 300 soya. each, h ft, one mile and
a quarter, will not have more than three starters, to wit,
Czarina, Letitia or Eugenie, and Media. Mr Neville
will no doubt pocket the stake, Czarina being second, and
Media last.

The race for the Drawing Room Stakes lies entirely
between Uriel and Borneo; the former, if he starts, for
choice; Indus, Testator, and one of the Duke of Rich-
mond's may help to swell the field.
For the Goodwood Stakes

I
Proclaim an open Geld, and there shall be,
I trow, no lack of champions."
The following list includes all that are likely to run,
those with asterisks attached being the most dubious:—

st lb st lb
Chanticleer, 6 yrs ... 9 13 Giselle, 6 yrs 6 12
Collingwood, 6 yrs... 9 8 Miss Whip filly,s yrs 6 9
*Surplice, 4 yrs
Wanota, 5 yrs
Fernhill, 4 yrs
Maid of Masham, Fire Eater, 3 yrs ... 6 3
4 yrs 7 9 *Bacchanalian, 4 yrs 5 13
*The Admiral, 5 yrs 7 9 Osterley, 3 yrs
The Tartar, 5 yrs ... 7 7 Van Diemen, 3 yrs 5 6
Plaudit, aged
gAntagonist, 5 yrs
Clermont, 5 yrs
Hornpipe, 4 yrs
Maid of Lyme, 6 yrs 6 13 Over-fork-over, 3 yrs 4 3
I have examined the Handicap by" the light of other
days," and find that Chanticleer has no chance, and
Collingwood but little, the weight being too great. The
Goodwood Stakes have only been won thrice, in the last
twenty years, by anything handicapped above nine
stone—Lucetta, 6 yrs, 9st 51b, in 1832; Glaucus, 5 yrs,
9st 81b, in 1835 ; and Chanticleer, 5 yrs, 9st 21b, last
year, being the memorable instances.
Surplice, I believe, will be reserved for the Cup ;
Wanota or St. Antonio will represent Lord Clifden's
stable, and one or other will be very handy. The Maid
of Masham, the Tartar, and Plaudit have the middle
weights safe; and from the light division I should select
Emma Donna, Miss Whip, and Over-fork-over, and this
upon the strength of previous running and present ap-
pearances. I summarily dispose of the various candi-
dates, and

" Hit or miss,
Our project's life this shape of sense assumes."
Wanota, or St. Antonio (Pearl) 1
Plaudit (Prince) 2
On Thursday the Duke of Richmond's Plate, a Sell-
ing Sweepstakes, the .Anglesey, and Five Soya. Stakes,
have yet to close and name.
For the Goodwood Cup from eight to ten will run, to
be selected from the follotsihg:—

st lb)
The Hero, 6 yrs lO 01Chicaneur, 4 yrs ... 7 1
Surplice, 4 yrs
Canezou, 4 yrs
Black Eagle, 3 yrs 7 4 The Flea, 3 yrs 7 0
Tadmor, 3 yrs
Borneo, 3 yrs 7 4 Juggler, 3 yrs ...... 5 10
Glenalvon, 3 yrs 74'
The Cup has never been won by anything above 9st
131 b, and only once at this weight (Priam, in 1832); yet
the game old Colonel attempted to do the deed in 1830,
with lOst 71b up, and was third. However, I cannot
give the Hero the credit of being good enough to beat
either Canezou or Tadmor at the weight, therefore shall
jump at the conclusion at once, and place
Canezou
Tadmor (Nat) 2

_
Surplice, the Hero, and Landgrave close up.
The Goodwood stahle seem to have appropriated the
Molecombe Stakes to their own particular use.
The field for the Racing Statics is comprised in the
following :--Honeycomb, Bst 101 b; Champion, Drake-
lew Solon, Ploughboy, and Uriel, Bst 71b each; unless
the last-named should win the Drawing-room Stakes; in
that case his weight will be Bst 131 b. Of course the race
lies entirely between Uriel and Honeycomb, and so
nearly with the penalties will it be balanced, that I must
leave my readers to judge for themselves.
Tadmor, lhe runs, will win the 50 sovs. Vatican the
100 sovs., Sidus the 200 sovs., and the Puke of Rich
mond or Colonel Peel the Sussex Stakes. A T. Y. C.
50 sovs. Stakes will be carried away by a whirlwind. On
Friday the March Stakes, Derby Plate, 10 Sovs. Stakes,
and Queen's Plate, have yet to close and name.
The Canada filly walks over for the 200 Soya. Stakes.
