THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF 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 14th, 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.

Yet tames not this; it sticks to the last sand."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Good wood !
" 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 cloth 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 Richmqnd, 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 did 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
20,0001. This success is mainly attributable to
the predilection which the present bead of the
house of Lennox has for racing, and to the unceasing
exertions of that " master mind" of the turf—Lord
George Bentinck, 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, on the list at the present moment;
which will satisfy, I should imagine, the appetite of the
most inveterate turf gourmand. And 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 won by the favourites, Cotherstone
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 Joinville 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
2,300/. for the first horse, 200/. for the second, and 1001.
for the third; consequently we may expect to see a field
of five or six, at the least, contest this stake 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 rets tell,
Charm'd into grandeur by unearthly spell,
Rear'd in an instant, 'midst the deserts waste."
And with respect to the position of the others, I should
place them thus—
T
a
d
m or
Belus
(Marlow) 2
Vanguard
Herbert (Robinson) 4
The Lavant 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 soya. Stakes, value clear to the winner

1,6501., 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 ne 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 (Butler) 4

by Lady Evelyn, 9st 21b; Highland Fling second, Eu-
genie third, Crtrina fourth, and Grace last.
The Goodwood Stable have nothing but Lord Clifden's
straw-coloured jacket to fear for the Settrington Stakes.
There are thirty-two nominations for the Chesterfield
Cup, the most business-like batch being Collingwood,
9st 81b; Loadstone, 7st 101 b; The Moor, ist 71b; Cosa-
ehia, fist 131 b; The Flea, Est 71b; Reflection, Gst 31b; In-
dus, Est 31b; and Crucible, Est 7th; Indus for choice.
With this stake I conclude my observations on the
glorious Goodwood meeting of 1849; and, in the words of
the immortal bard, advise that you
" Do not exceed the prescript of this scroll :
Our fortune lies upon this hazard."
If any important change takes place with respect to the
Goodwood Stakes, I will communicate the same to-
morrow. —I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

200 Sovs. Stakes—The Canada filly receives.
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.

COURT CIRCULAR.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—On Wednesday the 25th, a large part of the day
was taken up with the Bankrupt Consolidation Bill.
There are traces of two opposing sets of opinions on this
subject; one, of those who believe that creditors all have
flinty hearts, and another who think all debtors want
sharply looking after, as being the natural enemies of
those who are technically said "to suffer." The right
mark evidently lies between both, but with perhaps some
leaning in favour of the last. The days are gone when
unbelievers exacted their pound of flesh; and the cruel
squire who lodges his unhappy debtor in a gaol, in
compliment to the charms of some female relative or
dependent, is nearly confined to halfpenny romance. But
there are still roguish debtors, or, at all events, sharp
practitioners in the line of getting into debt and never
getting out of it except by such whitewashing as the
law in its goodness shall provide. For one afflicted
debtor, there are a hundred deeply distressed creditors;
it is consequently to their side that new legislation seems
bound to lean.
