GOODWOOD RACES—TUESDAY.
Since the retirement of the Duke of Richmond from
all active pursuits on the turf, the Goodwood meeting,
which attained its acrn4 of popularity under the direction
of the late Lord George Bentinck, has been regarded
by all persons interested in horse-racing with not a little
anxiety. Forebodings have been entertained that year
after year a diminution in the quantity of sport would
be displayed, and that ultimately a lack of patronage
would cause the meeting to be abandoned. These
forebodings seemed to ripen into certainties when the

a salute.
Her Majesty's ship Algiers, with part of the 82d, also
arrived this morning. Sir W. Codrington left her at
Constantinople, and went on board her Majesty's ship
C.tradoe. He left the same time as the Algiers. The
Cumberland, with the agents of transports and staff,
was passed yesterday a few miles from Malta.

PORTSMOUTH, JvLr 28,

The Cabinet Ministers came down to this pert to-day
at noon, and embarked on board the Black Eagle, Ad-
miralty steam-yacht, and proceeded to Osborne to assist
at the usual council preparatory to the prorogation
of Parliament. They returned to town again at six
o'clock by the same route, the South-Western Railway,
with the exception of Sir C. Wood, who was to go on
board the Admiralty yacht, to join his colleagues there
on the usual official visit to the station.

partial secession from the turf of the Marquis of
Exeter was announced, and were strengthened by the
fact of every anniversary of the gathering having of

late years beea marked by the abience of the colours
of tortain noblemen and gentlemen, who were wont
to be the chief patrons and supporters of the rich pro-
duce stakes with which the Goodwood programme
is filled. From the present meeting it has been
prognosticated that the rapid " fall" of the Goodwood
gatherings will be dated. This prediction seemed to be
founded on the recent unfortunate secessions from the
turf, and the knowledge that during the current season
ire-tune has not equally distributed her favours amor pt
backers and bookmakers, but has sent the money into
the pockets of a comparatively few individuals. These
circumstances combined to render professional turfites
uneasy respecting the success of the present meeting, in-
asmuch as they expected a diminished supply of sport,
and flat and unprofitable speculation. In the number
of the events to be decided there is certainly a marked
ahortcoming in the programme. The list on the present
occasion contains only 26 items, a number considerably
short of that of last year and several preceding years.
Still, for the principal 2-yroldraces and handicap events,
lar,e fields are likely to be brought out. The Memorial
Stakes for three and 4 yr-olds will command cnly a few
competitors, because, in turf parlance, most of the ani-
mals engaged in them have been "run through," whilst
breakings down and the tnany ills that horse-tiesh is heir
to have caused the entire disappearance of others from
the race-course. Still the short-comings which are per-
ceptible in the supply of sport exists more in seeming
than in reality ; for to judge from the first day's racing
and the large number of horses now in the neighbourhood
turfites will have enough, and more than enough, to oc-
cupy their attention during the meeting. The character
of the principal events, too, has undergone no deteriorat-
leg chsa 0, a a t in this respect the meeting maintainsits
old prestige and importance. The extensive scale on
which blood stock is reared in this country solely for
racing purposes is strikingly attested by the fact of 50
2-yr-olds being entered for the Nursery Stakes alone, in
addition to the numerically strong lists of nominations
obtained respectively by the Ham, the Lavant, the
Molecomb, and the Sixth Bentinck Memorial Stakes.
Tne unfavourable expectations which had been enter-
tained respecting the success of the meeting were agree-
ably disappointed by the spirit and eclat with which the
gathering was inaugurated to-day, True, the fields
were small, but the leading events were marked by in-
cidents of much present and prospective importance.
A. first favourite for the St. Leger was brought out, in
Lord Derby's Fazzoletto, whilst a prominent favourite
for the Derby, 1857, was defeated, in Mr. W. S. S.
Crawford's Zuyder Zee. Indeed the couple of two-yr-
old races, the Ham Stakes, and the Levant, were not
only remarkable for the interest with which their result
was regarded, but also for the close and exciting encoun-
ters which they occasioned.
The day was warm and sunny, a smart breeze at in.
tervals springing up and imparting a pleasant tempera-
ture to the atmosphere. The muster of general company
was perhaps not quite equal to that usually witnessed on
an opening day. Still ou the balcony of the grand stand
and on the lawn and embankment were many of the
most distinguished patrons of the sport. Ladies assem-
bled iu large numbers, and their elegantly variegated
dresses gave additional gaiety and effect to the pictur-
esque scene.
The races came off as under :
The Craven Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 added. Cra-
ven Course, one mile and a quarter. 10 subs.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge came
down with the Ministers and returned into harbour with
them, but landed at the dockyard, and accompanied the
Commander-in-Chief to his official residence.
The James Watt, 91, screw-ship, Capt. Anson, and
the Retribution, 28, paddle-frigate, Capt, Fisher, both
arrived at Spithoad in the night from the Crimea. The
first-named brought 1,220 men of the Land Transport
Corps, and the latter 8,000 shot.
The Princess Royal, 91, screw-ship, Captain Janes,
was paid off to-day.
The Gorgon, 8, paddle-sloop, sailed to-day for the
westward, and the Dauntless, 24, was taken into dock.
The Valorous, 16, paddle-frigate, whose arrival was
reported last night, only brought 20 men of the 11th
Hussars, some artificers, and stores.
The Cressy, SI, screw, which has been in quarantine
since her return from St. Petersburg, remains se. The
flag which she flies at her fore, yellow, is only indica-
tive of her coming from a port where sickness prevailed,
not that she has it on board herself.

The British Swiss Legion, brought here in the steam-
transport Stamboul, disembarked this morning along-
side the dockyard, and marched to the new camp at
Browndown.
The head-quarters of the 11th Hussars, consisting of
11 officers, 260 men, and 176 horses, brought home in
the steam-transport Calcutta, disembarked to-day, and
proceeded on the march to Aldershot.
The troops brought home in the Edina, comprising 12
officers of various regiments, and 95 men of the 31st
Regiment, 41 of the 93d Highlanders, and 70 of the
Laud Transport Corps also disembarked to-day.

at Osborne came up to Spithead in the royal yacht to-

BANKSIDE REGATTA.

The annual contest amongst the free watermen and
lightermen at Bankside, Southwark, took place yester-
day. The weather being delightfully fine, the assem-
blage of spectators to witness the race was enormous—
the bridge, bank, and craft in the river being covered
with human beings ; there were also more pleasure par-
ties cut in boats than tic-nal. It was the thirty-eighth
anniversary of the contest, and, instead of being a scut-
lers' race, as heretofore, it was a pair-oared wager, in
three heats.

First heat.
John Ardley and William Cawte White 1
John Moore and Henry Harris Green 2
William Hunter and William Terry Pink 0
The distance was to start from Blackfriars-bridge
down round the buoy moored oft the Phoenix Coal

carrying on business as a draper and trimming seller at
119, Shoreditch, was re-examined on a charge of not
surrendering to his bankruptcy and absconding from hie
creditors, with intent to defraud them.
JohnFoulger, City police-sergeant, 89, apprehended the
prisoner at the above address on the 14th of July, and
told him it was for not surrendering to his bankruptey in
1854. Prisoner said be bad been expecting something of
the sort. He also said he bad seen his creditors, and
should have liked to have got a situation and set aside a
part of his salary to pay them, as he had no other means
of doing it, and he had no friends to assist him. He knew
he did wrong in going aitvay, and he was sorry now he
had done so. He went to Australia, and tried Sydney,
Melbourne, and the diggings, but met with no success,
and was obliged to come back. Ho must leave himself
entirely in the hands of his creditors. At the Moor-
lane station witness searched him and found a shilling
3 on him.

Alderman Finnis then fully committed him for trial.
Ann Clark, a child about 12 years of age, but whose
head did not reach the top of the dock, was charged with
stealing a snuffbox, containing a spade guinea, a silver
coin, and a number of duplicates.
The evidence did not establish the charge against the
child, but both the prosecutrix and the mother of the
prisoner gave her a very bad character.
Inspector Todhunter said the fault did not rest with
the child, for she was brought up in the most hopeless
state of ignorance. She had no idea of a God, or a
church, or chapel. He asked her what her mother and
father did on a Sunday, and she paid they were drinking
all day long. He asked her if they did not say their
prayers, but she did not know what he meant by
prayers. In fact, she was so neglected that she had not
, the slightest idea of a future state.
Sir Peter Laurie ordered her to appear at the court
again on Friday, and directed the inspector to make fur-
ther inquiries about her,

BOW-STREET.—A porter at the Strand Union
Workhouse, who also acts as labour master, broughtone
of the paupers, a lad named John Wick, before Mr.
Henry, for refusing to perform the task allotted to him,
being work suited to his age, strength, and condition,
viz., stone-breaking.
he complainant, Philip Lane, proved that the pri-
soner refused to go into the stone-yard that evening.
He made use of an oath. He was a very bad boy.
The prisoner declared that having received an injury
when very young, he was afraid to work much at stone-
breaking, lest he should again bring on the complaint.
He bad worked in the stone-yard for two hours in the
morning, and he thought that was as much as he could
do with safety.
Mr. Henry—ls it true that he has been injured as he
states I

Lane—l assure you he is a very bad character—very,
bad indeed, your worship.
Mr. Henry—You told me that before. Repeating it
can answer no purpose but to show me how very eager
you are for a conviction. I did not ask about his cha-
racter, but whether he has been injured as he alleges !
Lane—l believe he has, sir, a little.
The prisoner—l am quite willing to work, sir. I
should not mind, doing any work they put me to except
stone•breaking.
Mr. Heary—But then you are not allowed to choose
your work.
After advising the prisoner to perform for the future

the work assigned to him, whateirer it might be, which
he promised to do to the best of his ability, Mr. Henry
ordered him to be set at liberty.

WESTMINSTER.--A respectable-looking woman
solicited Mr. Arnold's advice. She stated that she had
pawned a number of articles, and when she went to re-
deem them she was told that part of the things bad
been sold, and the remainder given away.
Mr. Arnold inquired whether more than a twelve-
month had expired when she went to redeem the things I
Applicant replied that it had not ; she applied a fort-
night before the time.
Mr. Arnold asked what was the amount of the pledges.
Applicant said it was one pledge of 45., she did not
want any more at the time, but the things were of con-
siderable value. There was a crape shawl which cost
her V. 10s., and was very litt!e the worse for wear, a
pair of window curtains worthl/., and some other articles.
Mr. Arnold—What reason does the pawnbroker as-
sign for detaining the property or neglecting to make
you proper compensation ?
Applicant—They said there was a mistake about the
matter, that my pledge had been mistaken for another,
and when I applied again they said I might go to the
magistrate if I pleased, and he would give them time to
advertise them and get them back from the party to
whom they were sold.
Mr. Arnold—Did you make a tender to the pawn-
broker of the principal and interest
Applicant—Yes, I put down a sovereign on the counter.
Mr. Arnold—Take out a summons against him.

LAMBETH.—Ch,arlea Lewis, residing in This tlegrov e-
lane, confectioner, was brought up cn a warrant before
Mr. Elliott, charged with having neglected to support
his wife, Elizabeth Lewis.

The Complainant, who was fashionably dressed, said
that she was now residing with her brother, and that
she was married to her husband on the 19th of January
last, at the parish church of St. George, Camberwell.
Before she was married she had 701. in Whitecross•street
SaVings Bank, which she took out. He left her about
the middle of February.
Mr. Elliott—Does he support you now ?
Complainant— Not in the least, sir. In April last I
saw him and begged him to take me home. lam now
chargeable to the parish of Camberwell.
Mr. Elliott—He went away and has left you altogether?
Complainant—Yes, sir, and without giving the slight-
est reason.

The prisoner was sent for six weeks to the House of
Correction.

The solicitor asked for a mitigation of the penalty, but
on the relieving officer objecting, the decision of the ma-
gistrate was not altered.
