SPORTING NOTES.
No. LXXIII.
NEWMARKET JULY MEETING, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—My prognostications on the races of the
present week at Newcastle have been verified in
twelve instances out of seventeen, in a truly,
remarkable manner; and in the remaining five in-
stances I was not altogether on the wrong scent,
having in one of them (the Tyne Stakes) placed
The Sheltie as the winner, with Stratagem well up.

Stratagem won, and The Sheltie was second. In the
second I was nearer still to the " bull's-eye," having for
the Northumberland Plate placed Testator first and
Neashani second. Their positions only require revers-
ing. In the third I remarked that " the Corporation
Plate is said to be a good thing' for Prudery; at any I
rate, this stake is a certainty for one of Dawson's stable."
Prudery did not start, but Chief Justice, one of
Dawson's stable, was the winner. In the fourth in-
stance I remarked "we shall have Colaterdale No. 1 for the
Gateshead or Lottery Stakes, with Pandemus or The
Cutler second." Colsterdale, not being suited to the
hard course, was fourth; and The Cutler just beat Pan-
demus for the first place by a neck. In the fifth and
last instance I was completely out, my particu-
lar selection, 'The farmer's Boy, not able to
go the pace, running home a bad fourth to
Snowdrop. The most correct and pointed predictions
that I have made during theTphreirdsenTtriweenenkia,
for the Convivial Stakes,
Members' Plate - Handicap, First Triennial Pro-
duce, Hunters' Stakes, Second Triennial Produce,
Tyro Stokes, and Gold Cup. For the first I
selected Tom Holtby or Unity to Win, with the
l
Maid of Masham close up; they were first, end,'
arepr tdhuocsee,
sec
and thirds Yor • the _second, I placed Eiediti first,
Mise Lydia filly second; they were so.
For the
third, in Note No. 71, I awarded this race to
Abdallah, Oxford Blue, or The Cutler; the last two for
choice; and in Note No. 72, I said positively that " the
Members' Plate *ill fall to the lot of Orford Blue."
Oxford Blue won by a neck, Abdallah second, and the
Cutler third. For the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh
events, I stated distinctly that Pitsford, Fern, Azeth, and
The King of Trumps would win their respective races;
they did so. And for the Gold Cup I observed that
" the Maid of Masham and Uriel will be first and
second." The Maid won rather easily by a length. The
foregoing is a tolerable sample of success for one week.
Respecting the winner of the Northumberland Plate
(whom I am sorry to see has been the cause of several
abscotulations on the part of two or three
list keepers, their shutters having gone up simultane-
ously with the arrival of the result of the race),
I could not bring myself to believe that Neasham's party
would risk a " break down" with his delicate " pins," on
11 a course almost as hard as the wood paving, and that was
the principal one of two reasons that I thought up to
the last moment that his starting was dubious. There
cannot be the shadow of a doubt:that he was, at his weight,
half a stone at the least, better than anything in the
race. In the ensuing week we have a couple of meet-
ings (Ludlow and Lancaster) of comparatively but little
account, also two (Newmarket and Carlisle) of some im-
portance. At the present writing I mean to touch upon the
July meeting at head-quarters only. It commences on
Tuesday, and extends over the two following days, and, at
present, has but a very skeleton " bill of fare." The two
stakes that will engage the principal attention of the betting
fraternity, are well known as two of the most important
two years old stakes of the year, under the titles of the
July and Chesterfield. The field for " the July,'; out
of an entry
,of twenty-six, will, in all probability, not
have more than half a dc esti starters at the outside, and
they for the most part will be horses trained at New-
market. All the " outsiders," or, at least, seven-
eighths of them are frightened out of the field by the
formidable appearance of the great Wan of Lord John
Scott's stable, the already celebrated son Of Pantaloon
and Phryne, generally denoininated;. the Brother to El-
thiron. I 'am not positive on this head at the present
moment, bus I believe that Daniel O'Rourke, and in

fact, all Scott's (the commoner) horses will be missing
on the day of the rece. The field, es far as I can
ascertain at the present writing, will consist of the Bro-
ther to Elthiron, Cleverhouse, one of Lord Exeter';,
Livermore, and another or two. The race will be an
interesting one with three—Lord John Scott's, Lord
Eglinton's, and Colonel Peel's; and will probably come
off in the following style:—
BROTHER TO ELTIIIRON (Butler or
Whitehouse) 1
CL AVERHO USE (Marlow) 2
LIVERMERE (Nat) 3
The result of this race will materially affect the Derby
betting should the Brother to Elthiron or Clever-
house win easily ; but, should it result in a close race
between these two, which 1 am above half inclined to
think it will, their position in tho market will not be al-
tered to any extent by the decision. Weathergege, I fancy,
will win the 200 sous. Produce Stakes on Wednesday.
A much larger field, soma ten or a dozen probably, will
muster at the post for the Chesterfield Stakes; the result
of which, for a wonder, cannot be affected by the deci-
sion of " the July." I anticipate seeing at the post
Carrier, Pelopidas, Poodle, one of Lord Glasgow's, filly
by Orlando out of Clarissa's dam, Lapidist, Virago
filly, Ambrose, and another or two. Four or five of
these have strong parties, particularly the Orlando and
Virago fillies and Ambrose. I fancy the race will lay
with Poodle, Orlando filly, Lapidist (if up to the mark),
and Ambrose, possibly catching Mr. Clarke's eye thus—
AMBROSE (Norman) 1
L APIDIST 2
ORLANDO FILLY
POODLE 4
Latest betting up to twelve o'clock this day:—July
. Stakes-5 to 4on Brother to Elthiron, taken to 8001.;
3to 1 agst Claverhouee, 7 to 2 taken to 2001.; 6 to 1

over to Monday or Tuesday.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
A brilliant and crowded audience assembled here
ast evening to do homage to the last performance,
luntil late in the season, of Sofie Cruvelli, in Fidelio.
From the commencement to the conclusion the per-
formance was one continued triumph for the young and
gifted artist, who has secused for the chef d'ceuvre
of Beethoven a popularity on the lyric stage which it
never had, and, but for her marvellous interpretation,
never would have attained. She has, in fact, created
the character of Fldelin, and we trust that Mr. Lumley's
arrangements will enable her to repent it at least once
more before "towards the termination of the season." La
Prova dun Opera Seria, that glorious bit of burlesque,
followed, and kept the audience in a roar. :Never have
the two Lablaches, pere et fits, been more superbly, rich
and unctuous, and never did they elicit more hearty shiouts
of laughter
laughter than last evening. Madame I:elalde was the
p
donna, and fully entered into the fun of the
" 0 guardate." She sang the aria which precedes the
burlesque
ddwas much
ivertissement,nture with exquisite taste and effect, and
laiuded. Between the operas there was a
which Amalia Ferraris danced
charmingly. Tbalberg's new opera (the libretto by
Scribe) of Florinda is announced for Thursday. We
understand that her 'Majesty has signified her intention
of honouring this theatre by a visit in state on the sth
of July.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Gossip has given out that the Earl of Hardwicke is
to b' flag-Captain to Vice-Admiral the Honourable
Josoclyn Percy, C. 8., the newly-appointed commander
in chief nt the Ncre. We believe, however, that
Captain Rodney Mundy (1837) will be the flag-captain.

Commander Crispin took out tho Fairy, Royal
yacht-tender, Master-Commander Welsh, and tie
Master-Commander Balliston, round Spithead yebter-
day, to prove that their engines and machinery were
all in perfect order, in anticipation of their services
being required to convey the Court to Osborne House on
Saturday next.

On hying off the Caledonia, 120, C4tain Carter,
at Devon port, c.n Tuesday, the 24th instant, in the
most orderly manner, an official document from the
Accountant-General to John Hay, the commo-
dore superintendent, was read on the occasion, prais-
ing the clerks for the regular and precise state of
the bookt of the ship, which greatly facilitated the pay-
ing off.

Birkenhead, steam transport, Master Commander

with a portion of the 2d Royals, for the Cape of (jowl
Hope.
RAPID STEAM PASSAGE.—The City of Dublin Steam,

built in the Thames by Miller, Havenhill, and balkeld,
has arrived at Holyhead, after a quick passage of forty-
two hours from Blackwall..

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Sidon. steam-frigate,
Commcnikr Gurdner, went into the angfle-dock this
morning to have her bottom examined. When this ship
and the Retribution will be dispatched to tho Cape of
Good Hope with troops for the relief of Sir Harry Smith
seemsapncertain. It is believed the Sidon will carry
enough coals to enable her to steam to the Cape without
replenishing.

The Fairy and the Elphin steam-yachts went over to
Cowes this morning and returned this afternoon.
The Avon steam vessel, Mr. Veitch, second master
commanding, sailed on her return to Dovouport.

THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS OF PRO-
FESSOR itAUFMANN, OF DRESDEN.
These instruments will be considered among the most
remarkable presented to the notice of the public, whether
they be considered as pieces of mechanical skill or as
producing the most elaborate and beautiful muaic, with
the precision, the feeling, and delicacy, df the most
finished performers.
They consist of five instruments, three of them in
elegant cases; one of them resembling a harpsicord
placed perpendicularly and lastly, an automaton trum-
peter.
The symphonion and chordaulodion play overtures
and pieces for orchestra and pianoforte with the greatest
clearness, marking the crescendo and diminuendo pas-
sages with a delicacy of forte and piano quite remark-
able, at the same time accentuating . particular notes.
This last peculiarity distinguishes the instruments of
Messrs. Kaufmann, and marks the superiority of these
instruments over any of a similar description.
Fiirsteuau's variations for flute and orchestral accom-
paniments, played without the intervention of any human
being, and entirely by mechanism, astonish the listener
and display the peculiarities mentioned.
The harmonichord, in form of a harpsichord, en giraffe,
is played like the piano. The tone is produced by the
friction of metallic cord, by buff leather, prepared with
rosin, and is of so soft and melodious a nature as to re-
semble the tones of the malian harp. This instrument,
beautifully played on by Miss Kaufmann, is SD arranged
that the piano and torte may be produced by the degree
of pressure exercised upon the keys, and not by slily
pedal acting on dampers. This peculiarity of arrange-
ment is a remarkable and novel invention of the Messrs.
Kaufmann. The trumpeter blows a perfect musical
scale on a common trumpet, without keys or ventholes,
and else blows phrases of double notes from the same in-
strument. Mr. Kaufmann has thus proved that he can pro-
duce from one and the same tube a vibrating column of
air of different lengths, so as to produce two notes at
the same moment. No living trumpeter has been able
to perform this feat.
The sth instrument, the orchestrien, contains a splen-
did collection of trumpets and drums, clarinets, flutes,
flageolets, cornets, horns, &c., and performs various
pieces, among which is the " Halletuj eh chorus." The
genius and mechanical skill of Kaufmann, jun., were oc-
cupied five years in perfecting this instrument. The
combined effects cause an impression of wonder and
delight, and cannot ho compared with the effects of any
mechanical musical instruments ever produced in this
country.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—At the meeting of the Council of the National
Patent Law Amendment Association, held at La Belle
Sanvage Hotel, Ludgate-hill, on Thursday evening, for
the purpose of arranging for a public meeting, to be
held within a few days, and of which due announcement
will be made, it was moved by
Mr. Samuel Stocker, sod
seconded by Mr. G. Shepherd, C.E.:___" That the best
thanks cf the Council be conveyed to 'the Editor of The
Sun newspaper for the very able leader in this evening's
impression, and respectfully to solic* his continued ad-
vocacy of the claims of inventors until their admitted
grievances be redressed by the Legislature."

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOL.—The fourth
annual examination of the children educated in this institu-
tion took place yesterday afternoon at the school-house,
Wanstead, in the presence of a considerable number of per-
sons interested„ in the welfare of the charity. Mr. T. A.
Moore occupied the chair, and the children were examined
by Mr. Smith, of the British and Foreign School Socitly.
The subjects or heads of examination were—Scripture his-
tory and geography ; history of England, from the period
under the Roman power to the present reign; history of
Rome, from the rise to the fall of the empire ; English gram.
mar, with etymological derivatives, and the more common
Greek and Latin roots; geography, with problems on the
terrestrial globe ; arithmetic in every simple branch, and al-
gebra as far as the first four rules and simple equations;
French and Latin rudiments, writing, spelling, music, au&
elocution. It is but justice to say that the pupils of every
classical grade showed cuusiderable acquaintance with the
various subjects upon which they were examined, and their
answers were given readily and ingeniously. After the ex-
amination the ladies and gentlemen assembled partook of
refreshments on the lawn, when various prizes of books were
distributed to the scholars who had most distinguished them-
selves in the day's examinat ion by Mr. Wilcoxon. The com-
sent—not a few of whom had come from London—
pany
seemedpre much gratified by the sissy's proceedings.
