Sin,—The July Meeting of the Liverpudlians com-
mences to-morrow at halt-past one with the Croxteth
Stakes of 15 soya. each, 10 ft, with 30 added ; to close
and name this evening. The Mersey Stakes I feel in-
clined to look to the Middleham horse, with Bethgelert
and Brother to Shylocls in the second and third places.
The field, I believe, will be composed of Lucio or Shag-
ram, Bethgelert, Euphony, Shylock's brother, War
Hawk, and, perhaps, Cleveland, and Bilbery. The
Abbess is expected to do the needful for the Sefton
Stakes. For the Lancashire Oaks, which in conse-
quence of penalties and allowances assumes to a great
extent the appearance of a handicap, not' above four or
five will go to the post, viz.—Queen Bee, Tightwaist,
Trickatrees, The Abbess, and, perhaps, Vivandiare.
Dawson, I fancy, will produce the winner, and Scott the
second ; The Abbess and Queen Bee finishing in close
attendance on the leading couple. Tb. 10 soya. Pro-
duce Stakes contains so dark en entry with the ex-
ception of Bethgelert, Filius, and Physalis filly, that
the task of selecting the winner in this instance is no
very easy one. If any of the dark division win
I snouted bay it would be thn colt by Annadale, dam by
Tomboy ; this col& and ;Bethgelert look the most like
business ; F,ltas, however, it they choose to run him,
will be forward in the spurt. The Bickerstaffs Stakes,
of 100 sovs each, h ft, for foals, of 1848, will be con-

testcd by Osceola, Harpsichord, and :Miss Whip colt,
and it would not in the least surprise me to see Osceolo
first, Miss Whig colt second, and the apparent certainty,
Harpsichord, last. Runnymede, lam given to under-
stand, is a doubtful starter for the 50 Sovs. Stakes ; in
his absence, Hamrick or Clasher will walk over. Her-
nandez, as a matter of course, if he runs, will win the
200 Sovs. Produce Stakes, now in its second year ; and
Harpsichord, perchance, may be second. The second
day (Thursday) opens with the Grosvenor Stakes, of 10
Sovs. each, &c., and name this evening. The Foal
Stakes will be contested by Lord Elinton's Pandemus
and ono of Mr. Watt's nominations, and, to my think-
ing, will be won by the former.

In my remarks of Friday last on the Liverpool Cup
I gave it as my opinion that the first flight would con-
sist of Glauca, Officious, Strongbow, The Marquis,
Hippolytus, Rusk filly, and Brebs; and as things then
stood took Brebs as the winner. Since then, however,
" a change has come o'er The Spirit," which necessitates
my taking a different view of the case. Breba, from
some reason or other, not very clear to me, has become
within the last two or three days uncommonly fishy in
the market, and it is actually whispered about, will not
go to Liverpool; whether she goes or does not, I can
clearly perceive she will not do to stand on as the ab-
solute winner. The field, I anticipate, will be composed
of Glauca, Russborough, Ba2kt4iter, Officious, Strong-
bow, The Marquis, Abbess of Jerveaux, Hippolytus,
Truth. Colstercial., and Breba. Two or three others
may also run, but their doing su will not alter the result
of the race. The first flight at the finish I now imagine
will be composed of Officious, Russborcugb, Strongbow,
The Marquis, and Abbess of Jerveaux; and expect to see
in OFFICIOUS or RUSSBOROUGII the winner! Strongbow
and The Marquis in the next place, with the Abbess of
Jervaux in close attendance. Chief Justice at 6st 61b,
would be my pick for the Derby Handicap, with the
Maid of Team valley and Antigone in the second and
third positions. The Graud Stand Stakes seems to be
a certainty for Merry Peel. Strongbow looks attractive
for the 100 SOTS. Handicap, with Osbaldeston and Pan-
demus as attendants. The Mountain Deer and Ariosto
will be first and second for the Liverpool St. Leger;
two or three others will run. Betting up to one o'clock
rather brisk and as follows :—Liverpool Cup-3 to 1
agst Officious; 7 to 2 agst Russborough; 5 to 1 agst
Strongbow; 6 to 1 agst The Marquis; 10 to 1 agst Ab-
bess of Jervaux; 16 to 1 agst Glauca; 16 to 1 agst
Backbiter. Breba scarcely mentioned. Liverpool St.
Leger-5 to 4 each, agst Ariosto and Mountain Deer.

CREmoRNE GARDENS.—Another new aspirant for
aeronautic fame made his debut last night at these popular
gardens, in the presence of between 9,000 and 10,000 specta-
tors. The name of the aeronaut is Guiseppe Lunardini, and
ne is stated to have already made several successful ascents
in Spain. He was yesterday accompanied in his mrial
Voyage by two gentlemen. The balloon took a south-
easterly course, and is expected to have descended near
Dartford, in Kent. The other multifarious amusements of
the gardens were participated in by the company until an
advanced hour.
INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS.—Prom inquiries lately
instituted by Mr. George, churchwarden of St. Anne's West-
minster, on the subject, it appears that the number of inter-
ments in the vaults of the parish church during the last 160
years have been 1,920, of which there remains now
have only
490 coffins, and it is supposed that the remaining 1,430
been abstracted for the value of the lead of which the coffins
were composed. In the open burial ground, three quarters
of an acre in extent, there hava been 13788 intelast rments
during the last twenty years, and 110,240 during the 160
years. The Government calculation of interments to the
acre is 110, but it appears that there have been in this
ground upwards of 1,000 to the acre. When will the Board
of Health carry out the new law against burying the dead
amongst the living?
