THE GOODWOOD RACES.

The following is extracted from the British Queen :

THE CUP DAY.

' A RIDE TO GOODWOOD AND BACK THE SANE
DAY !"—This inviting placard, in letters sufficiently
large to attract public attention, decided our wavering
opinion as to the route ; and on entering the office,
White Bear, Piccadilly, and finding the charge mode-
rate (505.), we at once booked our place to start at five
o'clock on the Thursday morning ; and there we were.
RS' punctual as to a hunting meet ; but no open office, no
elegant four-in-hand greeted our arrival ; and, after
kicking our heels for some half-hour, an omnibus of a
doubtful caste arrived, and we began to suspect a " do,"
until we saw Wilmot, an acquaintance of the box, who
politely told us " All right," and at a few minutes to
six found us safely deposited in the South Western
Railway deuxieme Voitures, with a couple of foreigners,
and a few town faces of bygone sporting days. Coming
events throw their shadows before them ; and the ele-
gant four-in-hand drag dropped down to a has• been,
vamped up like a pair of Monmouth-street understand-
ings—a little wear soon unmasking the false show. The
curvetting in that manner which a too free use of stimu-
lants creates in the lords of the creation, was so much so,
that a good-natured Homo drove up to ask whether
we were aware of the nature and state of our wheels?
Of dislocated and broken bones we have had quite
enough ; and our fears for an upset were not relieved by
the remark of an outsider, that he had been like Jack,
amusing himself for the last hour at speculating which
wheel would come off first ; and just then the drag
broke, going down one of those fearful steep hills that.
form one continuous up-and-down all the way seam
Guildford to the race-course. However, with
chu pru-
dent care of walking down the hills, ar,-the manner
Wilmot handled the ribbons, we cot safely on the
course long before the first race. Ttie company, although
the first rank in the county, was not such as we had
expected to find. That, show of beauty that in our
mind's eye we had 'pictured was more select than nu-
merous, but there-was gems, rich and rare, beauteous
faces surpassing fair diamonds of the first water in
quality, not in quantity, that was filled by the opposite
and ae.miring sex. We never saw a greater assemblage
of the first-rate sporting characters together ; to give a
,tithe of the names would require another sheet, of those
whom we have the honour of being personally known
to, and forming the elite of sporting society. The
noble Earl of Chesterfield, Lord M'Donald, Marquis of
Waterford, Lord Westminster, Earl of Uxbridge, Lord
G. Bentinck, Honourables Horace Seymour, Brand,
Radcliff, De Burgh, Mildmay, and the host of betting
men, assembled on the lawn in front of the grand stand,
afforded much amusement to our foreign compagntons de
voiture, who could not understand how it was possible to
effects bets so easily, while a hundred tongues at once
were offering and taking bets (some from the midst of
the grouped beauties on the balcony of the Grand
Stand) indiscriminately, apparently from the motley mob
below where peers and paupers book their bets, and
legs and landholders do the same ; but this is the grand
feature of an English race course. Here it is seen to
greater advantage than most other meets—here is con-
centrated, inside and out, all the rank and respectability
that visit Goodwood. Beyond the stand no elegant equi-
pages line the course ; it is a mere assemblage of such a
kind as you meet at at a country fair or minor race-
course. The Grand Stand is a beautiful building, but no
accommodation, such as English ladies and gentlmen are
accustomed to, is to be had. No retiring room could
we find, so much required after so long and dusty a ride.
They should not merely provide for eating and drink-
ing, which was done most liberally, but first
equally adding to other wants. We think that it was
the late Sir Walter Scott that said, the man who invents
fresh means of employment for his fellow-men, is a public
benefactor (then he was assuredly one, as he found not
only beneficial employment, but beneficial amount for
mankind), in a minor degree. Keeping this in view, we
would suggest to tonsors of the fete, that they might find
profitable employment attending races, and placing the
heads of the lieges in a proper form to appear before the
ladies—not such mops as we saw under the tiles of the
otherwise well-dressed gentlemen, giving them more the
appearance of having passed the night in the watch-house
than their morning at the wash-hand stand.
" Nov clear the course, the bugle sounds,
Instead of the race, we are thinking of hounds."
FIRST RACE.

Lord Albemarle's Taurus beating Lord G. Bentinck's
Mustapha, the favourite, by a neck.
An excellent race, but disappointing the certainty
men. These certainties are not safe always, says one of
'the spicy betters in a starch white necktye.
THE CUP.

The preceding races, although of the first order, were
to us lost in the interest attached to the cup. The bet-
ting had so fluctuated, that it was dangerous to act upon
the office. At length, it settled decided in favour of
Charles the Twelfth. On seeing him parade the course, we
regretted our choice
,of Hyllus, although the running
showed how close it was. The starting was most excellently
managed by Lord George Bentinck-, who paraded with a
flag beside the horses, giving each rider a fair view of the
office to go, no excuse to hang fire after the horses
were brought altogether, Malgre une Mechant Animale,
who wanted to spoil sport, down went the red flag, a
beautiful start for place, and a most beautiful race en-
sued ; and when they passed the Grand Stand, on return-
ing, it was interesting in the extreme, Charles and
Hyllus neck and neck, difficult to say which was first.
We have seen such things called dead heats.
This most excellent day's sport finished with a race
by Gentlemen Jocks, and won by good riding by that
fine old English foxhunter, Osbaldiston, on Currier,
beating Dismal Jemmy easily, a change of when they
run again will tell a different tale.

A change for the better, in our carriage, brought us
safely back to Woking Common Station, where we had
been promised a quick train to start at twelve o'clock ;
but, after waiting an hour at one of the most uncomfort-
able stations we ever saw, up came the slow baggage and
bullock waggon trains, in which, with the other animals,
after two hours snail-pace, we arrived at Vauxhall, the
clock striking three, which, if those employed had kept
faith, we should have arrived at one, thereby nearly keep-
ing the promise to have a ride to Goodwood and back
the same day.

in Paisley, and the reported danger of similar occur-
rences in Glasgow, have acted prejudicially upon that
portion of business transacted with Scotch connexions.
The deranged state of monetary affairs on the Continent
has caused the twist buyers to be very careful in their
operations, and to'confine their purchases to their most
urgent wants, or to those offers of yarns which might be
caused by immediate want of money on the part of the
spinner, which, in consequence, might be sold at a
sacrificing price. Most of the mills which went on to
full time a few weeks ago, have it in contemplation to
resort again to short time. The stock of goods and
yarns is large, but not so extensive as might be imagined
from the lowness of price. The majority of the spinners
and manufacturers, from the long period during which
they have worked to a loss, and the diminishing.accom-
modation of the banks, cannot hold. The result is, that
goods are sold as they come round, in many cases at any
price. We understand that some of the larger houses
show a disposition to stock themselves, provided goods
can be obtained at extremely low rates, in anticipation of
a slight stir in the market, by which prices will be raised.
In fact, both goods and yarns, in needy quarters espe-
cially, are so remarkably low, as to afford a fair guaran-
tee of profit to the speculator by holding a few weeks or
mon th s. —Ma ndester Tittles.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—In the present position of parties, we are
not surprised that the Tory organs indulge in copious
abuse of the Liberal Ministry, the succession to whose
office they are anxiously expecting. Such conduct,
though far from generous, is consonant enough with the
ordinary tactics of party in the exultation of victory. In
this general assault the foreign policy of the Cabinet
(which, from the complexity of external relations, pre-
sents a wider front to the attacks of opponents than any
other branch of administration) bears in a considerable
degree the brunt of the fray. Nothing is more easy
than to find instances of affairs abroad going counter to
the views of politicians at home, and to supply the con.:
necting link of British influence, flattering as lie sup-
position even of its misdirection is to national vanity,
to make out the connection of cause and effect.. In
these tirades of the Tory press, we find the same writers
who allege one day that the councils of the Liberal go-
vernment have brought the country to the verge of ruin,
are ready to arrogate for England, on the next, the most
absurdly extended influence in the affairs of fir-distant
nations. The Times and Herald haves
ve
last week, been signalising tl• during the
~.emsels in this
warfare ; the former confiLes -
the relations between itself chiefly to
x'rance and this country,
and the affairs of„.
Morn Turkey arising out of the
interminable E
_:.'sern question, which some of our
writers,
in spi n'.l-the French, have decided shall not be extinct,
of the declaration of the Five Powers in the
r'..xent Convention ; the latter excurses into Central
Asia, and gives us a list of the misdoings of our Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs, in Persia, Affghanistan, and the
*lndian Archipelago. n the ardour of controversy, the
Times turns round in no small degree on its articles of
last year, laudatory of Lord Palmerston's firm attitude
in his resistance to French encroachment relative to
the Eastern Question. It now selects the policy of
England, and its results for especial animadversion.
STANDARD.—We are told that the condemned
budget is to be once more presented ; and this is the
apology fur the Ministers, convicted of a violation of the
spirit of the Constitution, and duly sentenced to dis-
missal, presuming to meet the new Parliament. It
_
is unnecessary to repeat what we have more than
once before said of the total insufficiency of such
an excuse ; it is as if a culprit, after a verdict of
guilty had passed against him, and the judg-
ment had been formally recorded, should insist
upon an opportunity of repeating his offence in
order to have occasion of arguing anew the legality of
his previous conviction. The advancement of . such a
demand is an insult and a crime—not to be reasoned
with, but to be resented and punished. However, we
are gravely assured that the demand will be advanced,
and that, by a rather violent strain of the prerogative,
the opportunity for advancing it is to be secured. How
Parliament will deal with such an insult and such a crime
must depend upon the greater or less amount of courage
and patriotism possessed by the majority. As we have
already said, it is a case for impeachment, but we fear that the
day for impeachments and for the punishment of the greatest
criminals has gone by. Justice now reserves all her ter-
rors fer poor petty larceny knaves, or at the highest for
weak-minded Chartists. O'Connell is unhanged but
O'Connor occupies a felon's cell. The condemned budget
will then be reproduced by its convicted authors, probably
without incurring any more serious punishment for the of-
fenders than a second failure—a punishment, if it is to be
called one, amply salved beforehand by three months of sa-
lary and patronage fraudulently obtained. As we are to
have this budget again, it may be well for the people
to inform themselves of its grounds and merits ; with
this view we recommend to particular attentive—what ?
a Conservative pamphlet or a Conservative essay ? Nothing
of the kind—we recommend to all who would appreciate
the total futility of the reasons offered for the notable
scheme, and the transparent falsehood of Lord John
Russell's pretence that it was advisedly brought
forward by the " deficits"—to all such we recommend
the apology for the budget in the last number of the
Edinburgh Review. The name of the review gives war-
rant that a curious defence is intended ; gives warrant,
too, that the case of the Ministers does not suffer by de-
fect of zeal or talent in its advocates. Still, we say, if
any one wants to be thoroughly impressed with the atro-
cious injustice of the Ministerial propositions, and with
the profligate contempt of truth manifested by Ministers
in pretending that the propositions were not the last re-
source of despair, let him read the sixty pages of apology
in the review.

MONEY MARKBT and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—'The financial and commercial re-
forms enunciated in the Whig budget of 1841, and in
especial the proffered boon of the repeal of the bread
tax, are prizes worth fighting for, and render the return
of the Whig party to power at an early period necessary
as the, means of securing them to the nation, unless the
Peel Cabinet should bring forward similar measures, and
proceed with the revision of the tariff on imports, so
soon as the new Government is definitely constituted,
and the preliminary steps are gone through in the Parlie;
mont about to assemble. We shall not stop to consider the
point of political consistency connected with the propound-
ing of such measures by those who were chosen for
the special purpose of preventing their success. That is
a point beyond the sphere of our department, and
which the majority of the new Parliament must settle
amongst themselves. We are contented to state the fact,
and to leave Conservative statesmen to arrange the con-
sequences to their party. It is plain, however, that the
doom of monopoly is sealed, and that no section of po-
litical men can conduct the Government of this country
subiwithmstuctcoestsa,
xuantlin,eoss they adopt a liberal system of com-
mercial policy. The people are too enlightened to
in order to supply the deficiency
in the public exchequer, after a practicable scheme
has been brought forward by the responsible advisers
of the Crown to increase the revenue to the amount
of 6,000,000/. sterling per annum, by reducing the
taxes en the chief necessaries of life, and approxi-
mating to the principles of free trade by a judicious
relaxation of the duties, charged upon articles imported
for home use and consumption. Various schemes, no
doubt, have been hinted at as likely to be adduced in-
stead by Sir Robert Peel to equalise the public revenue
and expenditure, but all of them founded on the assump-
tion that he will either propose new taxes or have re-
course to a funding of Exchequer Bills, or a loan, as an
expedient to give him time to take that calm, " compre-
hensive view of the financial position of the country"
which he intimated to his followers in the defunct Par-
liament would be his special business, should the past
elections (as they have unequivocally done) return a
majority of his supporters.
It is certainly quite in the power of the embryo Mi-
nister of Finance to fund Exchequer Bills preparatory
to the issue of a fresh batch of them, but by so doing he
will accept the rejected offal which his predecessor
spurned, and add several millions more to the public debt,
for which taxation must still be the final provision. It
would be a far more business-like thing for him to come
forward at once as a borrower in the Money Market,
which he might do to the extent of 10,000,000/. at the
present rate of Consols, without doing much to pro-
duce a depression in price, for the London capitalists
would readily supply him to that extent, and the
additional business it would give the jobbers would
render the proposal popular on the Stock Exchange.
But whether Sir Robert Peel should give notice of a
funding of Exchequer Bills or issue notices for re-
ceiving tenders for a new loan, the one or the other, or
both, arc neither more nor less than pitiful make-shifts ;
temporary expedients to afford breathing-time ; a mere
putting off of the evil clay ; and let him take one or the
other, or both, they will make an increase to the public
debt of from p,000,0001. to 10,000,0001., to provide for
which new taxes must ultimately be imposed. To that
complexion must he come at last, while by the adoption
of such a miserable hand-to-mouth system of financial
patch-work, the root of the evil remains untouched, for
neither by a funding or a direct loan, to plug the hole in
the Exchequer, would any fillip be given to trade. The
mill-owners would not be enabled to turn their short
hours into full working time, nor would a single mouth-
ful more bread be distributed amongst the thousands of
destitute, starving families, that crowd the streets of our
manufacturing towns.
TIMES.—The letter:, froM Manchester allude in de-
sponding terms to the depression of business, which had
within the last week been increased by the numerous
Scottish failures. The joint-stock banks of Manchester
arc accused, in the first instance, of having produced
these deplorable results by their imprudent advances to
parties whose great aim was to turn a large amount of
business without considering the unsoundness of the
basis upon which it was conducted ; and it is mentioned
that one suspended firm had ttoknowledged having turned
with the assistance of these institutions, .130,0001., upon
a 6,000/. capital. Such was the distressed condition
of the operatives in consequence of the stagnation of
business, that we are told about 800 hand-loom-
weavers were out of employment, and exposed to
the horrors of starvation. An appeal on their be-
half has been got up, addressed to the " merchants,
manufacturers, and gentry," particularly of Manchester
and its vicinity. • It is stated that many of these poor
fellows have not the means of providing food either for
their families or themselves for a single day.
The meeting of creditors for the choice of assignees
in the bankruptcy of Daintry, Ryle, and Co., was to take
plane on the 3d proximo. The yearly meeting of the
Stalybridge, Hyde, and Glossop Bank, was held
on the 30th, and the report stated that no losses had
been incurred during the year, but that 71 per cent. pro-
fit had been made upon the paid up capital, upon which
5 per cent. was divided, and the remainder ordered to
be carried to the "reserved fund," to meet any future
contingencies.

The—following letter was written by the Spanish Mi-
nister of Finance to a gentleman in the city, who had re-
quested to know whether it was the iatention of the
Government to capitaliFe the overdue interest into a
three per cent. stock :--

" Madrid, July 21, 1841.
" Sir,—ln reply to your obliging letter of the 7th instunt,
I beg to say the Spanish Government has always entertained
the most favourable opinion of the loyalty of the foreign
bondholders. and is convinced they will take into considera-
tion the evils aad disasters which have been caused in this
unhappy country by a most cruel civil war of seven years'
duration. in consequence I have thought it my duty to ca-
pitalise the overdue coupons, and exchange the..i for a three
per cent. stock, as it was announced and promised in the de-
cree of the 21st of January last. Orders have therefore been
given to expedite the new bonds necessary for the conversion ;
and the Government, you may be assured, will not neglect
any measures leading to the fulfilment of the promises that
have been made to foreign creditMs, being anxious to attend
to all their claims.
" I have thelonour, Sir, to subscribe myself,
" Your most obedient servant,
6, P. S. RULL."

RINGWOOD.—An inquest was held on Wed-
' nesdayltst by Charles Castleman, Esq., at Bistern, on
view of the body of Mary Johnson, a young married
female, residing in this town, the circumstances at-
tending whose death have created a considerable sen-
sation here : the investigation before an intelligent
and respectable jury occupied nine hours. From the evi-
dence adduced, it appears that the deceased, aecompa-
, nied by her brother, a little boy ten years of age, and a
young woman named Tilley, were returning from Avon
to Ringwood, on Monday afternoon, when two waggons
or trucks loaded with stone passed them ; one of the
carters asked them to ride, which they at first refused,
but afterwards got up on the hinder waggon, when the
man who was driving called out to his companion
driving the foremost team to come back, telling him
that he had got a young woman for him. This man
accordingly left his team, came back, and seated him-
self on the shafts of the ,waggon on which the females
were riding ; he then began taking improper liberties
with the deceased, who remonstrated with him and
told him she was a married woman ; notwithstanding
which, he continued his disgusting behaviour, and she
requested them to stop the - horses, as she wished to
get down, but this they refused to do. She again en-
treated them, but they persisted in driving on, when
she declared she would jump off. The man then got
off the shafts, and the deceased (in order it is sup-
posed to avoid a repetition of insult) immediately
sprang from the waggon and fell underneath the wheels.
which, with their ponderous weight of four tons, passed
over her body, crushing and lacerating it in a most
horrible manner. A labouring man in an adjoining
field, who witnessed the catastrophe, lifted her from
the ground ; and the only words she uttered were,
"Oh dear, I am crushed to pieces." She died in
about two hours afterwards. The Jury, after some
deliberation, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter"
against James Ingram and Charles Crauter, the two
waggoners. It will scarcely be credited that such was
the brutal indifference of these men, that instead of
stopping their horses when the accident occurred, and
rendering assistance to the unfortunate deceased, they
proceeded on their journey ; and the companions of th-e
deceased were obliged to jump off the waggon as it was
going along.—Hampshire Independent.
FATAL ACCIDENT:—A melancholy accident
happened at the West Half-way House on the Dundee
Road last Thursday. A man, named James Scrinigeour,
lately residing at the Horse Cross here, and who entered
into possession of the above-mentioned premises at last
Whitsunday, got upon the top of a laden cart at his own
door for the purpose of tightening a rope. While mak-
ing a strong pull the rope broke, and he was precipitated
backwards on the hard road. He fell on his head, and
in consequence of the injury, expired in about five hours
after the accident. He has left a wife and a young family.

DESPERATE ASSAULT.—On Saturday last as
Major Smith, who commands a detachment of the 15th
Regiment of Foot, at present in Deptford Dock-yard,
was passing down the Lower-road, Deptford, he met a
private named Duckwood, who was in a state of 'intoxi-
cation. Major Smith desired him to go to barracks.
The man walked for a few moments, when he suddenly
turned round and struck Major Smith a violent blow, at
the same time exclaiming "You once caused me to be
flogged, you b—, and now you may shoot me." Major Smith
instantly called for the assistance of some persons to secure
the soldier, when two privates, who werein a public-house
close to the spot, ran out for the purpose of doing so,
when Duckwood kicked 'Dula a dangerous part of the
body. and he' fell to the ground. Some persons, seeing
the violent and determined conduct of Duckwood, ran to
the Docks and procured a guard, and he was, after con-
siderable resistance, handcuffed.and taken to the barracks
by upwards of twenty soldiers. On the following morn-
ing he was brought in custody before Major Smith,
when he appeared fully sensible of the awful situation in
which his conduct had placed him, the offence of which
he had been guilty rendering him liable, according to the
articles of Ivar, to be shot. He expressed the greatest
sorrow and contrition for his conduct; and Major Smith
after properly admonishing him, ordered him to be con-
fined to barracks fur two months. Such a lenient sell-
, tence for so unProvoked an assault is much talked of by
the soldiers in the Dockyard.
On the 24th of this taontli the gamekeeper of
Mr. W. Nelson Clarke, at Aberuchill Castle, in Strath-
earn, flushed in an oak coppice wood a brood of
woodcocks, consisting of two old birds and three_
young ones. Of the latter he nearly caught one, as
it rose with difficulty. A few days after Mr. Clarke
himself flushed two old and two young birds of the same
kind in another wood, besides a single' old bird in a
different part of the cover. Not long since another
gentleman in the neighbourhood flushed a brood in the
park at Drummond castle. It is probable that more
birds of this species breed in Seotland than is generally
supposed, for in the vast extent of natural wood which
exists in the Highlands, there is su little disturbance
during the summer Months, that Many-birds may remain.
without exciting observation. The wood in which the
above were seen is quite open and bellow untlerneatlik

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Aug. 2.
ROWLEY I' ADANS.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this ease,
which was argued before the Court sometime since: The
case came before the Court upon appeal from the deci-
sion of. his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, and the appeal
sought to introduce into the decree pronounced in the
cause in 1836 a direction to the Master to take the ac-
counts of the partnership subsisting between two gentle-
men of the name of Wyatt. His Lordship was clearly
of opinion with the Court below, that no case had been
made by the appellant for what he asked, and or•
dered the appeal to be dismissed with costs.
