WEDNESDAY EVENING AUGUST 1, 1849.

37.910. Thus quite ind,Tendewly of cholera, we have
ran excesi () 15,227 ,kaths yemrly in L.;ndun from known
and not irremovaOle causes, thAt prevail to a certain but
less extent in tha south eastorn conntics. The saint,
argument applies to Liverpoul, and to all our large
towns.

In towns, as well as in the country, many diseases are
unquestionably caused by a bad, insufficient diet, by cold,
by intemperance, idleness, anti vice, which all predispose
to cholera; but the great excess of mortality is from the
atmosphere of decomposing organic matter giv,n off by
the undrained ground, and vegetable and animal bodies,
dead or living. The insalubrity of undrained land is
seen now in England on comparing the mortality (2.45)
of Ely, North Wi:chford, Whittlesea, and Wisbeach, in
Cambridgeshire, at the mouth of the Ner.e, with the
mortality (1.80 to 1.40 per cent.) of the high parts of
Surrey, Sussex, Narth Devon, and Northumbe:l4o.
And the fatal effect of effluvia generated by bodies of
men en sound land has Ling been well known ; it was
known to the Hamans; and it is laid down by their writers
on military affairs that the camp shoat be frevently
changed to get rid of these incommodtties. In modern
times men under canvass cannot be kept in health 1 aig
on the same spot. But an tin hateed town, insufficiently
supplied with water, drains, and sewers, hss the incaa-
ventences of a perpetual camp. and the diseases, feveri,
and dysenteries; besides being expthed to the fatal in-
roads of influenza, cholera, and all epidemics.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.
CHICHESTER. MONDAY NIGHT —ln additi in to those
already published, the tollowine horses have arrived:—
The Prisstess, My Mary, Over-fork-over, Goodboy,
Grief, Remnant, Woolwich. Sauter la Coupe, Thorn-
hill, Master Murray, and Jenathan Wild. Czerina is
not coming, and Lady Evelyn is very doubtful. The
entries took place this evening at Goodwood, and on the
whole were very satisfactory, the Craven and Cowdray
Stakes alone not having filled. Looking at the pro-
', rawme altogether, there is every reason to anticipate
an abundance of highly interesting sport each day. The
weather is extremely fine, and the course in the finest
possible order.
During the race week the following parties will be en-
tertained at Goodwood, Molecomb, Dale Park, &e.
At Goodwood—Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Duke
and Duchess of Beaufort and Lady Henrietta Somerset,
his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar,

and Countess of Eelinton, Lord and Lady Stanley, Vis-
count Clifden, Lord Villiers, Earl of Uxbridge, Lord
Canterbury, Earl and Countess of Cheiterfield, Viscount

The officers of the second battalion of the Fusilier
Guards, have a large party at the barracks; a tent has
been pitched in the yard to contain fifty at dinner. An
immense number of fashionables reached Brighton,
Bognor, Worthing and Chichester by the afternoon
trains; everything, in fact, encourages a belief that the
meeting will be a most brilliant one.
TUESDAY'S RACING.—Ihe number of events to be
chronicled, and the late hour to which the racing was
protracted by the false start for the Orange Handicap,
leaves us no time to indulge in preliminary observation.
We must be content, therefore, to state briefly that the
commencement of the meeting was in every respect
highly favourable. The weather was delightful, the
racing interesting in the extreme, and the company at
once numerous and fashionable, including, in addition to
those enumerated above, many persons of rank and dis-
tinction. The Craven Stakes not having filled, the
business of the day opened with a
Match, 100. h It, T.Y.C.—Mr. Greville's Cariboo, 2
yrs, 6st 711) (Duckeray). beat the Duke of Richtnend's
Mirror, 3 yrs, 85t 7lb (Flatman) by a length. 5 to 2on
Cariboo. Run in 1 min. 24 secs.
The Orange Stakes (handicap) of 10 sovs. each, with
100 added, the second to receive 25 sovs. out of the
stakes ; the last mile and a half. (17 Subs.)

The above race was run twice, the first " heat" being
won cleverly by Saucy Dick, Clarissa second, and Cosa-
chia third. Tne betting before starting fur it was sto 2
agst Clarissa-3 to 1 agst Syrup—and sto 1 each•agst
Cusachia and Sr. Antonio. It was discovered, however,
that the horses had been started front the mile and
quarter post, and a fresh start was ordered. The Flea
and Rodney, who ran in the false start, were a'terwards
withdrawn. We should add, that a question arose as to
whether the bets ought to stand, the horses, as some
alleged, not having gone to the post. The Sewards,
however, decided that inasmuch as they bad been
" called upon to go to the post," as m, ntioned in the
Jockey Club rule No. 40, they must be considered to he
p.p. Fur the actual race the prices were even on Saucy
Dick-3 to 1 agst Clarissa—and sto 1 ag,t Cosachia.
This heat came off precisely as the last, Saucy Dick
making all the play, and winning by a length, and only
a head jestween second and third. Run in 2 min. 47 sec.
