AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 20.

By the ro3 al mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Lott,
we have advicrs from New York to the 803, Boston to
the 9th, and Halifax to the 10th inst. She brings
586,000 dollars in specie on freight.
The Canada arrived at Boston on the Bth, having
made the quickest passage on record.
The United States screw steam-ship Lafayette put
into New York on the 7th to repair damages, having
been in contact with a vessel.

The steam-ship Empire City, Captain Wilson, had
arrived at New York from Chagres with specie to the
amount of 500,000 dollars in gold dust.
From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to the 30th
ult. The cholera continued to prevail in various parts
of the island. Freights had become rather more plen-
tiful. In tobacco Cavendish was abundant and in
small inquiry. Leaf was worth 84 to 86 per 1001 b.
Our Havannah markets extend to the 2d. The rates
of freights are lower, and the prices of sugars much de-
pressed, with small operations. In coffee there was
nothing doing. In tobacco a large business had been
transacted. No change had occurred in freights. Ship-
pers would only give 50s. per ton to Cowes. Exchange
o❑ London, 61 premium.
Some disturbances had occurred on the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec.

Our commercial accounts from New York advise that
money was easily obtained at 6to 7 per cent. It was
estimated that 2,500,000 had been received per steamers
Prometheus, Empire City, and Georgia.
ExchangPs remain unaltered. Tho rates are—On
London, 1101 to 1101; Paris 581 to 5 10. Hamburgh,
36i to 37; Amsterdam, 41i to 411; Bremen, 79i t) 794.
'The cotton market bad declined ic. for middling and
under, while the better grades are firmly held at full
prices, the stock being barely sufficient to supply home
wants.

For floor the market has advanced on the Baltic's
news, but afterwards became less buoyant. For grain
there was a good demand, with firm prices.
The demand for iron was light.
The tobacco market was declining, causing more ac-
tivity in the article.
Freights to London were—for flour, 25.; naval stores,
35.; measuremet t and heavy goods were 255. to 305.;
provisions, per barrel, 2s. 6d. to 35.; ditto, per tierce,
4s. 6d. to ss. To Havre, cotton, j. To Liverpool, a
lair amount of corn, wheat, and flour were offering; for
grain in bulk, 5f to 6; cotton, 5-32; and for heavy
goods, 17s. 6d.

SPORTING NOTES.
No. LXXXVIII.
GLANCE THE THIRD AT GOLDEN
GOODWOOD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In my last note I commented on Wednesday's
races, of course including the Goodwood Stakes, on
which event the public either took my advice there and
then, or, singular coincidence, fell exactly into my views
on this important stake, for they not only sent Harpsi-
chord (of whom I remarked, on the authority of my
Newmarket correspondent, that "he might be expected
to figure conspicuously in the rear") from seven to twelve
to one, at which price he was friendless on Sa-
turday evening, but also brought the four that
I selected (Empress colt, Narcissus, Humphrey,
and Presto) as my team for the eventful struggle,
with one exception (Presto), into strong play,
which ended in elevating the Empress colt, now called
The Grand Duke, five points, Narcissus two, and Hum-
phrey two or three also. I remarked in my last note
that " Humphrey, Est 21b, Narcissus, Est 11b, Empress
colt, sst 51b, and Presto, sst 316, form a very formidable
quartette; and should Vampyre and Borneo miss the mark
or not start (extremely probable), one of the four, I fancy,
will turn out to be the trump-card on the day, the EM-
PRESS COLT and NARCISSUS for choice." It should be
borne in mind that The Grand Duke is reported to
have beaten Vampyre rather easily than otherwise,
receiving comparatively little weight for the difference
in years; this, of course, renders Vampyre's starting very
dubious. I have reason to believe that the field will be
composed of but few others besides the following:—
W indischgratz, Due -an-durras, Montague, Cocktail
Crystal Palace, Clarissa Humphrey, Narcissus, Becton,
Kick-up-the-dust, The Clarissa,
Duke, Presto, Harpischord,
and Miss Whip colt. I will now turn my attention to
Thursday's races, the first of which that catches my eye
being The Bentinek Memorial Stakes, with seventy-six
subscribers; the entry embracing nearly all the crack
Derby names of next year. How many of them will go
to the post I know not, but somehow fancy that
Bay Itosalind will represent Scott's stable, and
Red hind the Goodwood lot, in opposition to the
flying BROTHER TO ELTHIRON, to whom I, and I hope
Judge Clarke, will award the palm of superiority. The
100 Sovs. Produce Stakes will be a very uninteresting
affair between THE SQUAW and JUGGERNAUT, former
for choice. The Racing Stakes will be contested by
Hippolytus, Bst 71b, Midas, Bst 131 b, the Confessor, Bst
101 b, and Buckhound, Bst 71b; and if HIPPOLYTUS and
The Confessor are not first and secend, with Buckhound
and Midas third and fourth, I shall be much deceived.
HOULARIN or Wingenund will carry off the 200
Sovs. Stakes, over the T.Y.C. The Sussex stable
will have their work to do to triumph o'er
Chief Baron Nicholson in the T. Y. C. spurt
for the Sussex Stakes. I see nothing to defeat the
Goodwood stable among the entries for the Molecomb
Stakes, without it is Father Thames. Of the thirty no-
minations to the Goodwood Cup, about two-thirds, from
various causes, are already hors de combat; the field, I
presume, will consist of the following:—Voltigeur, 4 yrs,
9st 31b; Cariboo, 4 yrs, 9st 1113; Landgrave, 5 yrs, Bst
11lb; Cossack, aged, Bst 101 b; Marquis, 3 yrs, 7st 41b;
Nancy, 3 yrs, 7st; Hesse Homburg, 3 yrs, 7st; Montes,
6 yrs, Est 121 b; Young Altisidora, aged, Est 81b; and
War Morse, 4 yrs, 6st 81b. From the above Hesse Hom-
burg or Landgrave will be withdrawn, but which I know
not. At the present moment I fancy the two C's in pre-
ference to the rest, but this opinion is not definite, and
must stand adjourned a day or two. Latest bet-
ting this morning : Gratwicke Stakes 6 to 4
on Hernandez, 3 to 4 aget Miserrima. Ham Stakes
—9 to 4 agst Houlakin, 5 to 1 agst Father
Thanies, 6 to 1 agst Claverhouse, 6 to 1 agst Merry-go-
round. Drawing-room Stakes—Even on Hesse Hom-
burg; 6to 4 agst Lord Exeter's couple. Goodwood
Stakes-7 to 1 agst The Grand Duke; 10 to 1 agst
Presto; 10 to 1 agst Narcissus; 12 to 1 agst Harpsi-
chord; 12 to 1 agst Humphrey; 16 to 1 agst Clarissa;
16 to 1 agst Montague; 20 to 1 agst Cocktail; 20 to 1
agst Miss Whip colt; 30 to 1 egat British Boy; 30 to 1
agst Vampyre; 50 to 1 agst Hurry Scurry. Goodwood
Cup-4 to 1 aget Nancy; sto 1 agst Cariboo; Bto 1
each agst Cossack, Landgrave, and Hesse Homburg; 10
to l agst Young Altisidora; 15 to 1 each agst Voltigeur,
Clincher, Marquis, and Essedarius.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
