NEW MUSIC.

1. Invitation (I ZaVaise ; 2. Chanson d'Ete—Not-
turno, pour le Pianoforte. Jefferys, Soho-square;
3. Movceau de Concert, Capriccio pour le Piano-
forte. Wessel and Co.
Composed by John Rogers.
The
," Invitation" is formed after the model of
Weber 's celebrated work. It commences with a grace-
ful and flowing cantabile, in three-quarter time,
leading to a waltz, which, while distinguished by
fresh and sparkling melody, and scholarly modula-
tions, is worked up with musicianly skill. It can
scarely fail to become popular.
The " Notturno" and " Capriccio" offer some diffi-
culties, which demand an executant like Mr. Rogers
himself to do them justice. The first (" Chanson
d'Ete") opens with an elaborate and spirited prelude,
which introduces us to a melody of peculiar grace and
freshness—first accompanied by skipping chords, then
varied for the left hand alone, and concluding with a
resume of the opening movement.
The " Morceau de Concert" affords an example of
skilful and effective part writing; like the former
compositions, it is distinguished by melodious and
captivating themes, the harmonic treatment of which
shows a l3eethovenish tendency, highly creditable to
Mr. _R i ogers' taste. These works, each differing n
style, are developed with the skill of a zealous and
talented artist.

SPORTING NOTES.
No. °VIII.
YORK AUGUST MEETING. THE GREAT
YORKSHIRE STAKES, &c.

" In every rustling wind the victor hear,
And Marlborough Buck in every contest fear."
ADDISON'S campaign (slightly altered).

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I am enabled to speak more positively this
morning with regard to the starters for the Ebor Handi-
cap; they will number from ten to twelve, and are the
following:—Maid of Masham, Clothworker, The Italian,
Lady Hylda, Champion, Nancy (d), Haricot, Hunger-
ford, Candlewick, Aristos, and one or two others. It is
my opinion that it they all run, the leaders in the fray
will be The ltalian,Nancy, Maid of Masham, and Haricot,
the first and last of these, the former as being the
money horse, the latter as being the best " in," for
choice; the two mares, as a matter of course, close up.
It ought to be borne in mind by dabblers in the odds
that when The Italian met " the crack" (Nancy) in the
Chester Cup fray, he gave her for the year 351bs, and
more than that, was not then thoroughly himself, yet
was well up at the finish; he has to concede a very dif-
ferent weight now, only Sibs, consequently as he
is in ;first-rate fettle, ought to be the winner, or
very dose upon the victor's heels. Haricot's nume-
rous performances as a three-years-old were decidedly
superior, winning, as she did, in nearly every in-
stance ; this year, as yet, the has not done
anything worth recording. The Maid of Masham, with
the stiff weight of Bst 71b up, I expect to see in the third
position; she may get nearer, or, perhaps, compass the
winning feat; if she accomplish this, she will in truth
prove herself a clipper and so mistake. The Slashing
Nancy is surrounded by so much mystery that I have
nought to say concerning her; I fancy, however, at the
weight, if she starts, it will only be to be beaten for the
first time this year.
Friday's list leads off with the Consolation Scramble
Stakes, which, with the Members' and her Majesty's
Plates. have yet to close. Sir Rowland TreAchard
and Bab;amo will fight cut the Bramham Park
Stakes, the former, in all probability, just get-
ting the best at the finish. The field for the
Great Yorkshire Stakes of 10 soya, with 100 added, for
three 3re old, colts Bat 71b, fillies 85t 21b, one mile and
three-quarters, now in its ninth year, may possibly be
composed of the following,:—Ariosto, Azoth, Tho Ban
(d), Black Doctor (d), Cewns (d), Marlborough Buck,
Nancy, Neasham, evi minster (d), and Crookshankr.
Ariosto, I fancy, requires a shorter course to display
his abilities upon; Azath and The Ban, at the best, are
but second-rate cattle. The Black Doctor I have heard
nothing about of late; the distance would suit him ad-
mirably, but I'm afraid be would not fancy the weight.
Cumus is to be tried in the race for the Ebor St. Leger on
Wednesday; if becomes off victorious there, it is just pos-
sible he may "run up" for this stake. The Marlborough
Buck, backed by the Venison and Defence blood flowing
through his veins, is the most mischievous looking
horse in the race, and, if they mean him, I have not the
slightest hesitation in awarding him the palm of victory.
Pompey's daughter, Nancy, with 51b allowed her for sex,
ought to be somewhere near the front, but to my eye
will not turn out to he the winner. The speedy son of
Hetman Platoff and Wasp is much fancied in the north
and also in the City, and immense sums have been in-
vested on his chance, but without I am sorely deceived,
at the best he will have to be contented with " playing
second fiddle." Crookshank's chance requires no
consideration; and Newminster is by no manner of
means a certain starter, or ho would have disposed of
the let, perhaps, with the exception of The Buck, in the
most cavalier style imaginable. If he runs take care of
him, and keep him on the right side of the book. Not
taking Newminster's chance into consideration, I should
place the others thus—

The Gimcrack Stakes depend so much on the result of
the Prince of Wales's Stakes that I shall postpone my
remarks on this particular stake to Thursday next, merely
observing meanwhile, that the Bird-on-the-wing and
Agnes Wickfield look the most attractive at the present
moment. Speculation on the Ebor Handicap, Great
Yorkshire Stake, and St. Leger, has been very brisk
since Saturday morning, and has led to several changes
of importance, especially in Hernandez and Newminster
for the St. Leger, Maid of Masham for the Ebor Handi-
cap, and Marlborough Buck for the Great Yorkshire
Stakes. The market this morning is uncommonly firm for
the favourites, but very queer for the outsiders. The
following are the lateet quotations :—Dundas Stakes

Eicr -01s-THAmEs.—There is no longer any
the potato blight of former years has this season
appeared in various parts of this district; crops that a short
time since were quite free from any appearance of blight, are
now unquestionably tainted, although in most instances only
in the leaves of the plant; but should the loss not exceed a
moderate per-centage, the larger proportion of land planted,
and the prolific yield of the present year, will prevent any
deficiency being experienced in this useful edible.
CHURCH RATES.—A very numerous z7tneeting of
the ratepayers of the parish of St. Mary.lc-Strand was held
on Saturday, in the Vestry-room, for the purpose of making
a church-rate, and on other business; Mr. Churchwarden
Hughes in the chair. Mr. Gleuny proposed that the church-
wardens be allowed 3001. for the necessary repairs of the
church, and that a rate of Is 3d. be allowed. Mr. Pearce
having seconded the motion, Mr. Valentine proposed, as an
amendment, a rate of ls., which, having been seconded, was
put and carried.
We observe that Captain J. Estridge has been con-
firmed in the appointment of garrison engineer and civil
architect at the Bombay presidency, vice Crawford, appointed
Superiuteadigig deputima,

LIEUT. DUPERIER, 80TH REGIMENT.—The ap-
pointment of Lieut. Charles Duperier, 80th Regiment,
to the important post of Adjutant of the Provisional
Battalion, has given great pleasure to the numerous
friends of that talented officer. The selection and
recommendation reflects the highest credit on the
authorities at Chatham, proving how thoroughly they
have the good of the service at heart. Lieut. Du-
perier was some years since engaged in drilling the
Schah of Persia's troops, and in testimony of the ap-
proval of that sovereign, had the distinguished order
of the "Lion and Sun" conferred on him. Lieut. D.
has also seen much hard service in China.
INSANITY IN THE ARMY.—Out of the number of
men discharged from the service, and left Chatham
this week, eight were labouring under insanity. They
had all served abroad.
A PRIZE TO HER MAJESTY'S SHIP PLUMPER.—We
learn by private letter that the Plumper, screw-sloop,
Commander Nolloth, captured the Flore de Mare,
with slave gear on hoard, at Born Abrigos, on the
Brazilian coast, on the 13th June.
THE GREENWICH OUT PENSlON.—Captain Sir
William Pierson (1838) has received the captains'
out-pension of Greenwich Hospital, which fell in hand
on the death of Captain Burgess. This Gallant
Officer entered the navy in 1796, was at the battle of
Trafalgar, and served constantly during the war up
to 1815.
THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.—We understand that
our distinguished foreign visitors have expressed great
satisfaction at the fine soldierly and effective appearance
of our Household Brigade of Cavalry and Infantry,
and have, without hesitation, stated that in their
opinion they are the finest body of troops in Europe.
THE DEPUTY SECRETARY-AT-WAR.—It is ru•
moured that the Right Honourable Laurence Sulivan,
Deputy Secretary-at-War, who has recently been
sworn in as a Member of the Privy Council, will
shortly retire from his official appointment, as the la-
bours of that department have always been repre-
sented as most arduous, and rendered him unable to
perform any of the ex officio duties pertaining to the
office.
ROYAL CANADIAN REGIMENT.—We hear that it is
in contemplation to disband the Royal Canadian
Rifle Corps. The special services of the regiment for
which it was orignally raised have been long consi-
dered a failure.
HIGHLAND REGIMENTS.—An order has been issued
for the five kilted regiments—viz., the 42d, 78th,
79th, 92d, and 931 Highlanders—to wear in future
as a forage cap. the Glengarry bonnet, instead of the
one hitherto in use. This change does not affect
those Highland corps wearing trowsers—viz., the
71st, 72d, and 74th—who are to continue the old
forage cap.
EAST INDIA PENSIONERS.--The Court of Direc-
tors have refused to adopt a proposition for forming
an invalid depot in this country, on the same prin-
ciple as the one belonging to the line at Chatham,
because they consider it would involve an additional
expense, without any benefit to the funds of the
company or their army in general.
THE GOLD COAST CORPS.—The selection has been
made of the officers for the regiment to be stationed
on the Gold Coast, and their successors will shortly
be gazetted. The corps is, we believe, to be Light
Infantry.
PENSIONERS IN CANADA.—Arrangements are being
actively made for forming the army pensioners resi-
dent in Canada into four districts, by which their
services may be rendered available whenever required
in aid of the civil power or military purposes.
Lieutenant-Colonel Tulloch, Military Superintend-
ent of Pensioners, proceeds to Germany on the 25th
inst., it is said, for the purpose of being present at
the military inspections about to take place in that
country, and in order to give him additional military
knowledge, whereby he may be enabled to impart a
new system of drill to the enrolled pensioners, and
render them more effective.

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal.)
The early part of the week was characterised by a
heavy market for shares, but later it has given place to
considerable inquiry and business in the more reputable
portion of the speculative class of mines. Yesterday,
in particular. a considerable amount of transactions took
mince on fair terms for the interests of buyers, whilst
sellers appear to be acting voluntarily, and not under
the presaure of any necessity to sell, whether as regards

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

The eleventh half-yearly meeting of the Electric
Telegraph Company was held at the central station,
Founders'-court, Lothbury, on the 12th inst., John
Lewis Ricardo, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The fol-
lowing report of the directors was adopted, and a
dividend declared at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum.
"The financial position of the company is explained
in the balance-sheet annexed:—The receipts of the half-
year exceed the expenditure by 10,767/, which will
enable the directors, by appropriating 3224 from the
reserve fund, to recommend a dividend of 21. per share,
being at the rate of 8 per cent. on the paid-up capital.
" The Chester and Holyhead, the Brighton, and" the
Buckinghamshire lines have been completed since the
last half-yearly meeting, and the Manchester and
Sheffield line will be opened in the course of the en-
suing quarter. The current expenditure has been in
full operation on the three first, though they cannot be
considered to have come into regular working, and ex-
perience has shown that it requires some time before the
public of any particular place acquire the habit of avail-
ing themselves of the new means of correspondence.
These circumstances load the directors to consider it un-
necessary to add to the reserved fund from the revenue
of the half-year ending 30th June last.
" The peculiar nature of patent property, and the li-
tigation which, notwithstanding that three verdicts
have been obtained for piracies of their inventions, the
directors may have still to encounter in prosecuting in-
fringements of their patent rights, render it, in their
view, advisable to retain always a considerable sum not
applicable to any one particular purpose, but available
for any circumstances which may arise requiring outlay.
These do not involve renewal of works, which is in every
instance charged to revenue of the current half-year.
" Several hundred miles of line have, in fact, been
entirely renewed on this principle.
" From the time that the directors, in accordance with
the policy announced at a former meeting, aimed at the
establishment of a great national system of telegraphic
communication, rather than the large manufacturing
profit which the exclusive nature of their patents might
have secured to them, their attention has been anxiously
turned to the devlopement and extension of their lines,
caenrdtathine,y
and havee
xtpheoduigtihotu s . themselves justified in sparing no
expense to render the accommodation comprehensive,
" Experience only can achieve these things ; and
though it is not pretended that the whole degree of per-
fection of which the system is susceptible has been ob-
tained on the working of the lines, nevertheless great
referms have been made in numerous details of the ad-
ministration, which, though trifling in themselves, are
of infinite importance in the complicated executive com-
binations of the company, while mechanical improve-
ments in the insulation and apparatus have been pa-
tented, and after being elaborately tested, have been,
where found efficient, carefully and liberally carried into
execution.
" The whole of the lines between London and Liver-
pool and Manchester have b2en re-insulated, and two
new wires will this week be completed by the line of the
Trent Valley and North Staffordshire Railways for the
accommodation of these important places.
The line between Manchester and Normanton has
been entirely renewed, and workmen arc now along the
whole distance between Glasgow and Normanton, re-
placing the old arrangements with the new insulators
adopted by the engineer.

EAST RETFORD, THURSDAY, AUG. 14, 4.21 P.M.—
During the last thirty years it has not unfrequently
been our lot to place on record such storms and tem-
pests as have occasionally occurred in this neghbour-
hood and that of North Notts, of which this town
forms the capital, but it has seldom been our duty to
record one more severe than that which took place
last night. The year, hitherto, has been somewhat
remarkably proverbial for non• electricity, and it ap-
pears to have been reserved for the special out-
pouring we have just experienced. For several
days previously the atmosphere had been
close and warm, but not bright ; indeed the absence
of sunshine had been remarked by the agriculturists
as retarding harvest operations, and keeping back-
ward the maturing the splendid crops now ready for
the sickle. To any particular observant of the
clouds, however, it was very evident that they
were very highly charged with electric matter,
which would soon vent itself in either one district
or another. Early in the afternoon the wind was
stationed in the south, but at twenty minutes past
four it changed into the north within two or three
minutes' duration. In the west the appearances were
seriously ominous, and it was evident that the im-
mediate weight and direction of the coming commo-
tion of the elements was verging from Retford into
the north-west, in the direction of Bawtry, Gringley-
on-the-Hill, and towards Gainsborough. About
five o'clock the western sky was that of a
stone-coloured red—exceedingly menacing, and in-
dicative of danger. During this period the roll of
thunder was heard in the distance, and the forked
lightning continued to play in almost every direc-
tion. No sooner had the roll of the thunder
faded from the ear in the west, when Grove Hills
echoed another from the east, and, in fact, for up-
wards of two hours the thunder seemed to emerge
from every point of the compass, and the lightning
from every quarter of the heavens. The oscillations
of the barometer were singular but not extraordinary,
the needle trembling in a downward direction be-
tween 29.74 inches, and 29.69 inches. Still there
was scarcely any material decline. The outdoor
thermometer n the shade was at 74 deg., and without
scarcely a breeze of air stirring. At length the twain-
clouds began to converge, and between six and seven
P.M., the storm at Retford appeared to be at its
height. Peals of thunder continued to succeed each
other in rapid succession, whilst the lightning glare
was awful in the extreme. At a little before seven a
ball of fire fell in the Market-place, which imme-
diately exploded with a crash truly appalling. At
this time the rain descended in torrents, and the
water soughs being too small to take away the de-
luge of waters, the streets and Market-place were
flooded in every direction, and several of the ground
floors in the lower parts of the town were com-
pletely under water. To wards eight o'clock the ele-
ments were hushed, and the storm itself abated, but
the lightning continued vivid until about two
o'clock this morning. From inquiries made to-day
it appears that the storm has been general throughout
North Notts. Although much more rain has fallen
in some localities than others, whilst the lightning
has been equally more fatal in some directions than
in others. A poor man of the name of George Gab-
betas, of Scaftworth, aged about 60 years, whilst en-
gaged in pulling apples before the rain commenced,
was struck dead by the electric fluid. An inquest
will be held upon his remains to-morrow morning.
A mare belonging to Mr. Wm. Mee, of Retford,
which, along with a foal, was grazing in a field be-
tween that place and Bollam, was struck dead,
whilst the foal was left nearly blind : since it was
discovered it has partially recovered from the shock.
Two cows belonging to Mr. John Motley, of South
Leverton, were found dead in the field, and as far as
we have been able to gather, these are the only casu-
alties which have taken place in the district. During
the night the air was remarkably cold, and the interior
of the houses insufferably hot. This morning the
air was again close and warm, and from the state of
the clouds it was evident that the atmosphere had not
altogether been relieved from the combustion with
which it had been so seriously overcharged. During
the whole morning thunder was heard in various
directions, but it was not until between one and two,
P.M., that it passed over Retford. Whilst we are
still writing the atmosphere continues in a somewhat
troubled state, and we should not be much surprised
at another recurrence of the storm during the evening.
Depth of rain fallen during the storm, 1.94 inches.—
