NOTTINGHAM MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN
Sin,—Nottingham this year can boast of an unusually
good bill of fare for the racing appetite. I deferred my re-
marks yesterday concerning it on account of a "move I
perceived in the market touching the Nottinghamshire
Handicap, which on this occasion has, for it, the uncommonly
good acceptance of twenty-nine ; and so well balanced are
their chances by the handicap, that it is no easy work to
select the winner. Above a dozen will go to the post, but
whom tl at dozen or more will comprise, I cannot say at the
present moment. Several of the acceptances have aheady
been supported rather freely, to wit, Pitsford. 4 yrs, Set
Herbert, 5 yrs, ist 91b ; Musician, 4 yrs, 7st 91b ; Montague,
5 yrs, 7st 91b ; Oxford Rue, 4 yrs, 7st 51b ; Gold-
finde^, 3 yrs, East 41b; Ringleader, 3 yrs, 6st 21b; Follow-
ms-lads, 3 yrs, Gst 21b ; and Vivandiere, 3. yrs,
sst 71b. From the way the cash is going, it would seem to be a
positive certainty for one of the foregoing lot, and I think 8.?
too. Pitsford's starting, I should say, is very dubious;
should he go to the post his chance is tirst-rate. Herbert,
Musician, and Oxford Blue have, comparatively, but little
attraction for me. One of the remaining five, to my think-
ing, will turn up the trump card ; and, if you follow int 1605
on this occasion as your ringleader, I have but little hesita-
tion in asserting that the goldfinder will be LA Vivirmuuut
or MONTAGUE, former for choice. Dawson ought to carry
ff the Sherwood Handicap with JOE SUTHERLAND or Cum!'
JUSTICE.

I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

THE CROPS IN NORTH WALES.—Throughout the
northern portion of the principality the crops are lookia
remarkably fine and healthy, and their appearance is high
th
favourably and promising. The wheat plants are raw
luxuriant, and the fine hot weather which we have had 105
much improved the appearance of the crops on cold lando,,,
which had, to a certain extent, been affected by wet and
unfavourable weather. In several localities, the potatoes sr.
generally perfectly free from blight, and the stems are mote
than ordinarily strong. The hay crop is a heavy one Jr
most places, and will prove more than an average. 1t.15;
generally considered that unless blight makes its appeargo
the crops of all descriptions will produce an excellent yield.'
MILITARY BALLOTS SUSPENSION.—The
brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Boaverie and the,
Secretary at War to suspend the making of lists, and the
ballots and enrolments for the militia of the United King'
dom, has been printed. It contains three clauses, to the
effect that all general and sub-division meetings relating to
the militia, &c., should be suspended until the Ist of October:
1852, provided that proceedings may be had during such
suspension by order in council. The Act will extend tg
wardens of !tanneries, and to corps of miners in Cornvie'h
and Devon.

HOW TO REALISE NOTORIETY.—The Countess de
Bocairne, who is a most accomplished performer on ale
pianoforte, has received overtures from an agent of Mr. Bar-
num, of New York, who has realised large sums by the
talents of Jenny Lind, proposing to her to give a series of
concerts in North America under very favourable conditiag'
The Countess for the present declines the offer.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—We regret to state that MO'
Stone, wife of J. Stone, Esq., barrister, expired on Saturds/
last, from injuries which she accidentally received at the
Bath Railway station on the preceding Monday. drat
Stone was in the act of stepping into a railway carriage
the station, when the door of it slammed, and she le"'
thrown down with so much violence that her leg was fray
tured. The unfortunate lady was removed to Paragon;
buildings, and the best professional assistance was, 0'
course, obtained, but she gradually seal:, and expired frill
the shock which her nervous system had sustained.—BaP
Chronicle.

A DIAL IN TEMPLE-BAR.—Allow me tO suggest
the expediency of erecting or affixing a double illuminate
dial in the space now occupied by a window over TeraPle•
bar. This would be a great boon to the thousands who CO
stantly pass this the greatest thoroughfare in London. .1.1 f;
months ago I called the attention of the Lord Mayor At.
Sir James Duke to the subject, and I hear that the only Pv
stacle which exists is, that the interior of Temple-bar i'qf
let to a neighbouring banker for something under 501. Pe
aanum for stowing away old books.— Correspondent of the
Builder.

PATENT LAW AMENDMENT.—Last evening
_1",
meeting of the members of the A-sociation of Patentees Wir.
held at the Albion Hotel, Great Russell-street, Covent
garden, to consider the steps to be taken to oppose the Bill 0'
Lord Granville relative to private property • Mr. Charles
Pownall in the chair. After the chairman had briefly tei
ferred to the object of the meeting, and the necessity of
adopting measures for the protection of their rights as psi
tentei,s, a long conversational discussion took place on the
provisions of the Bill introduced by Lord Granville, .`"„
which Mr. Robertson and other members of the committee
took part. The Bill was described by several gentletaw
present as calculated to do more harm than good to patert
teas and inventors; as being the reverse of an amendrael
of the present law, and in fact a project for the abolition D"
together of the system of protecting property in inventioO
The interest of patentees generally were represented as its'
minently endangered by the Bill in question, and the O.
cessity of instantly getting up petitions against the ales;
sure was strongly insisted upon. The feeling among tle3
present with regard to the tendency of the Bill, and its
prospectively injurious effect on the property of inventorl
was decided and unanimous, and resolutions in accordMl°:
with the sentiments of the committee having been adopfew
the meeting separated.
INsTITDTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF WOMENP'.
A conference of gentlemen from different parts of the coon'
try, friendly to the objects of the above-named institution
was held yesterday at Herbert's Hotel, New Palace-yard.
the absence of the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. Ashbury preside
A prayer having been said, the Rev. Mr. Woodyard state°
the views of the association, after which a resolution to
effect that though the Act entitled "An Act to profs°
Women from Fraudulent Practices," &c., had proved to 8036
extent h
useful and efficient, yet a necessity existed of pros
e
jug a much more stringent and complete amendment a he
for the protection of women, was carried. Mr. Shori:,
solicitor of the association, then pointed out the present state
of the laws for the protection of women, and explained
what manner the practices of persons engaged in the sedliCi
Lion of females, and of brothel-house keepers, should bet
down and punished, and showed the difficulties under the
existing laws of obtaining convictions against culprits. Tbei
received the Act which the Legislature had passed only as ft
instalment. The opinion of a learned member of the legA,
profession was, that it was only a dead letter. There le',
however, been some satisfactory prosecutions under it. 11:a
Rev Mr. Cookesley and several other gentlemen addressed
the meeting, and the proceedings terminated.
