COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(PROM Ora OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
JULY 7.—The 4th inst., being the anniversary of the Ame-
rican Declaration of Independence, was celebrated here by
I. R. Croskey, Esq., Consul for the United States, entertain-
ing a party of twenty gentlemen, comprising the captains of
American vessels lying in the Roads, and many friends of the
respected Consul.
The late amicable adjustment of the Oregon question gave
a peculiar interest to the occasion, and it was the theme of
mutual congratulation many times during the evening, show-
ing that, however the rulers of the respective nations may
deem it proper to differ on such comparatively trifling matters,
the people see it is to their interest and satisfaction to culti-
vate peace and commerce, and look upon the horrors of war
with disgust.
The dinner and wines were provided by Mr. Roper, of the
Vine Hotel, and gave the most entire satisfaction, and the
arrangements of the Consul were everything that liberality
and good feeling could dictate. Our excellent Cowes band
was in attendance, and played appropriate and pleasing airs,
alternating with the many gratifying toasts and songs, and
salutes from some cannon planted on the quay for her Ma-
jesty the Queen and the American nation respectively. A
discharge of rockets followed, and the party broke up truly
delighted with the feeling and entertainment of the evening.
JULY 9.—The report that appeared in the Times of the
wreck of the schooner yacht, Flower of Yarrow, on the
Caskets, we are happy to say is void of foundation, as she
arrived safe at Gibraltar on the 18th of June.
The next general meeting of the members of the Royal
Yacht Squadron will take place at the Thatched House Tavern,
on Saturday next, when three candidates will be ballotted
for. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has intimated his
intention of giving a piece of plate to be sailed for on the
26th of August by yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron.
Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite arrived at Cowes at
twenty minutes to one this day. The Fairy yacht steamed
into the harbour and landed the royal party at the Trinity
Wharf.

RAILWAY DISSOLUTION BILL.

TO THE EDITOR-OF THE SUN.
Sia,—My being a subscriber, I have noticed an excel-
lent article in The Sun of the 6th instant, relative to the
above Bill having proved a complete failure.
An Act of Parliament ought to be passed without
delay compelling those parties who composed the majo-
rity at the railway affirmation meetings to return to the
unfortunate dissentients their full deposit money, as such
persons are made to go on against their wish ; indeed it
is impossible to stand even a fair chance against
such powerful bodies as landholders, directors, se-
cretaries, and other officials, ' who were able to pur-
chase any amount of scrip at very low prices : this alone
would enable them to hare it all their own way ; and it
was generally the case, that the railway scrip, at the
time of affirmation was saleable at improved prices ;
and it would now appear that it has again been forced
on the market, as the price has again fallen. It is very
plain that landholders, and paid officials, had too great
a private interest at stake to allow of an impartial de-
cision.

By adopting this method thousands of families, as well
as the money market, would be greatly relieved, and
railway making would soon be in a more healthy con-
dition. The great national importance and the good
which must arise from railways cannot be denied.

I am, Sir, y.•urs, &c.,

THE PRICE of BREAD.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Singleton-street, Hoxtun, July 9.
Sin,—ln ynur valuable journal of last Thursday even-
ing you mention that " the bakers in various districts of
the metropolis had reduced the price of bread--best
from Bd. to 7d., seconds from 6id. to si-d."
This was indeed welcome news to a lather of a young
family, but strange to say, the bakers of Hoxton still
maintain the price of bread at Bd. for best, and 7d. for
sEcuncls, and I have made inquiry, and found the same
is the case at Islington and Holloway. lam sure a few
words from you would have some effect. Of what use
to the consumers is the new Corn-law, when the benefit
goes into the bakers' pocket ? It might be a check upon
the bakers if you were, next time, to mention the names
of the " various districts" that had reduced the price of
their bread, as the people would then see who were
worthy of their support.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
W. HARPER.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales, 5,000 to 6,000 bales, including some export business.
Shares were quiet..
It must be most satisfactory to all persons desirous of hav-
ing 4. free intercourse for commercial purposes, to learn that
the Government of the United States, in its war with
Mexico, and its blockade of the principal ports of that
country, has consented that the mail packets be allowed
entry into Vera Cruz and Tampico. We are informed that
the assent of the British Government to the requirements of
the republic relative to the blockade of the ports named, will
be gazetted this evening, but that the ports will be open to
the Royal Mail packets for the delivery and receipt of letter-
bags. This is a course of proceeding honourable to the
Executive of the United States, to whom the mercantile
world's thanks are due. We must not forget, however, that
the Pacha of Egypt first set such an example.
It, is represented that the coasting trade, as well as the
fishing beats, while bonafide carried on, will not be interfered
with by the American blockading fleet. Of course no further
remittances of bullion can be expected from Mexico until
the blockade has been raised.

There have not been any accounts of late dates announced
in the City this morning.
The Consol Market has been pretty firm to-day, at from
95% to 96% for immediate transfer, and at 95% to 96 for
the Account. The Commissioners took a small quantity of
Stock to-day. The larger portion of the surplus revenue
will be laid out in Exchequer-bills. The premium upon the
1,000/. bills is given at 12s. Bank Stock for the Account
has been sold at 208%.
The bargains in the Foreign Stock Market have been very
few indeed to-day. Mexicans are quoted at 27% ; the
Portuguese Four per Cents. at 48 ; Russian at 112 ;
Spanish Three per Cents. at 361%8 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents, at 59% ; and the Four per Cents. at 94%.
The Railway Share market has been rather firm this morn •
ing, especially for Aberdeen, for Eastern Counties, for the
York Extension, for the Great North of England, and fur Lon-
don and Birmingham.% North Staffordshire Scrip is lower
than it was yesterday.

GREENWICH.

THURSDAY.—There continues to be no doubt of the unop-
posed return of Admiral Dundas for this borough on Monday
next. It is true that there has been a rumour afloat, to the
effect that Mr. Gladstone, the late Secretary for the Colonies,
intends to visit Greenwich next Monday, the day of nomina-
tion, not, it is said, for the purpose of contesting the election
with Admiral Dundas, but with the view of introducing
himself to the electors, in order to ensure his return to Par-
liament at the next general election. This rumour, however,
seems on the face of it to be utterly without foundation;
for it is highly improbable that Mr. Gladstone, taking
the present state of the feeling of the inhabitants of
Greenwich into consideration, would with such a view
present himself to the electors of Greenwich to obtain
a show of hands anything but in his favour. The
hustings will be, not on Blackheath, as has been stated, but
in Church-street, as has been usual during all the borough
elections here. Colonel Popplewell is to be the proposer, and
Mr. J. Wade the seconder, of the gallant Admiral. Two
meetings of the electors took place last evening, one at the
White Hart Tavern, and the other at the Lord Duncan
Tavern ; both were unanimously in favour of Admiral
Dundas.

RACKETS.

An excellent display of manly game was made on
Monday, at the White Bear Racket Court, in the Kenning-
ton-road, before a numerous assemblage of players and ad-
mirers of this active sport. The meeting had the additional
attraction ofTheing a kindly gathering for the benefit of Wm.
James, the well -known player. Several well-contested single
and four-handed matches came off; but the great guns of
the afternoon were the two following:-Ist. A four-handed
game between Messrs. John Pitman and Robert Glenister,
against Messrs. E. Bluck and J. Sowden, in which, after an
admirable contest, resulting in game and game, Messrs.
Bluck and Sowden were scored as conquerors; and, 2d, a
similar competition between Messrs. John Pitman and T.
Morris v. Mr. Bull and an anonymous gentleman. Some
splendid play was here exhibited, but Messrs. Pitman and
Morris carried off the palm by winning the rub. In the
first-mentioned game, we may mention, that Robert Gle-
nister met with an accident, which prevented bim rendering
efficient service to his partner, J. Pitman, and must have in-
fluenced the result. Mr. G. lierwood and Mr. Black after-
wards tried a single-handed game, and Mr. Bluck had an
easy victory. Johnny Walker, who was announced to play
a match with Owen Swift, for 201. a side, was present, but
his adversary did not show. After the sports, John Pitman
put forth a challenge to play any man in England a game
single-handed, for 100/. a side.

SCOTCH ELECTIONS.
(From The Scotsman of Wednesday).
EDINBURGH.

The nomination of candidates for the vacancy arising from
Mr. Macaulay's acceptance of office, takes place on Friday.
Mr. Macaulay was expected to arrive in town last night, and
will address the electors at a public meeting on Thursday.
There has been some talk of an opponent in the person of
Sir Culling Eardley Smith, on the part of a section of the
Voluntaries and Free Churchmen. It is understood to be
the intention of these parties to put Sir Culling in nomination
on Friday, but up to last night, we believe, he had not sig-
nified his assent to the movement, nor is there any likelihood
of his being present.

LEITH.
The nomination takes place on Thursday. Mr. Rutherfurd
addressed the electors of Portobello yesterdand is to speak

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A LUNATIC.—On Thursday
Mr.W. Baker held an inquest, at the London Hospital, on the
body of Esther Cuthbert, a widow, aged thirty-four years.
From the evidence it appeared that on the 9th of May last
the deceased accosted a waggoner, who was driving his team
along the Mile End-road, and importuned him to give her
a ride, which he refused to do, as she did not appear in her
senses, when she suddenly fell, and both the near wheels
passed over her right foot. She was taken to the hospital
where she lingered until Tuesday last, when she died. The
deceased had been an imate of St. Luke's and other mad
houses, but at times had lucid intervals. Verdict, " Acci-
dentat death, she being at the time imbecile and of unsound
mind,"

GREENWICH.

THURSDAY.—There continues to be no doubt of the unop-
posed return of Admiral Dundas for this borough on Monday
next. It is true that there has been a rumour afloat, to the
effect that Mr. Gladstone, the late Secretary for the Colonies,
intends to visit Greenwich next Monday, the day of nomina-
tion, not, it is said, for the purpose of contesting the election
with Admiral Dundas, but with the view of introducing
himself to the electors, in order to ensure his return to Par-
liament at the next general election. This rumour, however,
seems on the face of it to be utterly without foundation;
for it is highly improbable that Mr. Gladstone, taking
the present state of the feeling of the inhabitants of
Greenwich into consideration, would with such a view
present himself to the electors of Greenwich to obtain
a show of hands anything but in his favour. The
hustings will be, not on Blackheath, as has been stated, but
in Church-street, as has been usual during all the borough
elections here. Colonel Popplewell is to be the proposer, and
Mr. J. Wade the "seconder, of the gallant Admiral. Two
meetings of the electors took place last evening, one at the
White Hart Tavern, and the other at the Lord Duncan
Tavern ; both were unanimously in favour of Admiral
Dundas.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM ora OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

JULY 7.—The 4th inst., being the anniversary of the Ame-
rican Declaration of Independence, was celebrated here by
I. R. Croskey, Esq., Consul for the United States, entertain-
ing a party of twenty gentlemen, comprising the captains of
American vessels lying in the Roads, and many friends of the
respected Consul.
The late amicable adjustment of the Oregon question gave
a peculiar interest to the occasion, and it was the theme of
mutual congratulation many times during the evening, show-
ing that, however the rulers of the respective nations may
deem it proper to differ on such comparatively trifling matters,
the people see it is to their interest and satisfaction to culti-
vate peace and commerce, and look upon the horrors of war
with disgust.
The dinner and wines were provided by Mr. Roper, of the
Vine Hotel, and gave the most entire satisfaction, and the
arrangements of the Consul were everything that liberality
and good feeling could dictate. Our excellent Cowes band
was in attendance, and played appropriate and pleasing airs,
alternating with the many gratifying toasts and songs, and
salutes from some cannon planted on the quay for her Ma-
jesty the Queen and the American nation respectively. A
discharge of rockets followed, and the party broke up truly
delighted with the feeling and entertainment of the evening.
JULY 9.—The report that appeared in the Times of the
wreck of the schooner yacht, Flower of Yarrow, on the
Caskets, we are happy to say is void of foundation, as she
arrived safe at Gibraltar on the 18th of June.
The next general meeting of the members of the Royal
Yacht Squadron will take place at the Thatched House Tavern,
on Saturday next, when three candidates will be ballottei
for. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has intimated his
intention of giving a piece of plate to be sailed for on the
26th of August by yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron.
Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite arrived at Cowes At
twenty minutes to one this day. The Fairy yacht steamed
into the harbour and landed the royal party at the Trinity
Wharf.
