NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.
Newmarket, Sunday Afternoon.

The principal event of the ensuing meeting, which will
be confined to three days, is the July Stakes. The entry
for it is numerous, and favourable for betting round, as
only three of the horses engaged have yet appeared in
public, namely, Bubastes (now in Yorkshire), sister to
Cactus, and brother to Forester, both very moderate nags ;
from the remaining 28 several have been selected and
backed to a considerable amount. The present favourites
are—the filly—Dervise's dam, Trulla, and Louisa colts ;
the two f firmer have severally been backed to a very large
amount by the parties, and are reported to have had
favourable trials. The Louisa colt has several friends, and,
like the other two, his good private recommendation, with
this advantage, that the Hare Park stables can furnish the
best trial nags. It is remarked, however, that whenever
a two-year-old from this quarter has been made a favourite
it has been beaten (witness Dromedary, Vespa, and one
or two others) ; Legend, hlusquito, Stays, Emma, and
Malcolm, all dark horses, have at different periods been
backed, but are now only nominal favourites; their pre-
tensions rest on the same grounds as the other three, and
it only rensains to be shown which of the stables has ob-
tained the most accurate trial. About ten or twelve are
expected to start. The stake will be worth upwards of a
thousand pounds.
'f he other races will consist of matches, handicap,
plates, &c., as usual.
The following amongst many other Noblemen have
either arrived or will be here in the course of the afternoon:
The Dukes of Rutland, Grafton, and Portland; Lords
Exeter, Tavistock, Jersey, Verulam, Lichfield, Orford,
Stradbroke, Uxbridge, Bentinck, J. Fitzroy, Manners,

In the course of the week the subscription for the
Derby and Oaks of 1835 and 1836 must be made ; and
the colts and fillies (now yearlings) named for the first
year. The nominations for the July and Chesterfield
Stakes of 1834 and the Newmarket Stakes of 1835 must
be made at the same time.

LONDON DOCK COMPANY.—The annual
general meeting of proprietors of the London Docks was
held on Friday, for the purpose of declaring a dividend
for the last half year, and of choosing directors for the
year ensuing. The Chairman, JOHN BLUNT, Esq., said
that the directors regretted that they were not able to re-
commend to the proprietors to make the same dividend
they bad made in January last; but they felt that they
were best serving the real interests of the Company by
limiting it to the actual amount of profit realized, instead
of pursuing the course adopted by some other establish-
ments, of anticipating future profits. The defalcation of
late in some departments of their business was notorious
to all the proprietors; iu tobacco and barilla, for instance,
but chiefly from the impediments in the trade with Por-
tugal, in port wine, their stock of which was now less
than average by 8,000 to 10,000 pipes. In other depart-
ments there bad been a considerable increase during the
half year; for instance, in West India, East India, and
Mauritius produce. Still, notwithstanding the improve-
aunt in these branches, and the fact that there was a sum
little short of 100,0001. due to the Company, the directors
thought it best to recommend to the Company a dividend
of 11. 2s. 6d. per cent. for the last half-year. A desul
tory discussion took place, in which it was strongly urged
by several proprietors that every means of economy ought
to be adopted ; and it was recommended among other
things to the consideration of the directors, whether they
might not, with advantage to the Company, reduce the
number of their body, and give up the establishment in
Bank-buildings, by which not only would a saving be ef-
fected, but greater convenience afforded to the shippers
and merchants, by some of the directors being continually
to be found at the Docks. Mr. BLUNT, in reply, doubted
the policy of removing the establishment from the Dock-
house, so much of the business of the Dock being ob-
tained by the directors in the city, and by personal appli-
cation ; but said that these, as well as all other sugges-
tions from the proprietors, would be certain of meeting
with due consideration from the Court. The question
being put upon the amount of dividend, it was carried
unanimously, and the proprietors proceeded to ballot.
