GOODWOOD RACES-TUESDAY.

Marshal Pelissier arrived this morning, and will pro-
ceed on to Marseilles this evening ; he was received with
a salute.

Since the retirement of the Duke of Richmond from
all active parsuits on the turf, the Goodwood meeting,
which attained its acm6 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
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 been marked by the absence of the colours
of certain 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
fortune has not equally distributed her favours amor get
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 fiat and unprofitable speculation. In the number
of the events to be decided there is certainly a marked
shortcoming 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 only a few
competitors, because, in turf parlance, most of the ani-
mals engaged in them have been " run through," whilst
breakings down and the many ills that horse-flesh 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-
ing chaz7,e, I a 1 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 60
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.
The 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 Lavant, 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.

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
Caradoc. 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.

began to show their superiority, and, taking a dashing
lead, kept it ; Yellow, pressed hard at first, was ulti-
mately a good second.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 28.

The Cabinet Ministers came down to this port 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.

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 Spithead 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, 6, paddle-sloop, sailed to-day for the
westward, and the Dautitless 24, was taken ;nto 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, 81, 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
Land Transport Corps also disembarked to-day.
Her Majesty and the illustrious circle now Etetiomblod
at Osborne came up to Spithead in the royal yacht to-
night at half-past six, and made a lengthened cruise to
the eastward of the Isle of Wight, the fleet saluting the
royal standard, &c.

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 on 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 in large numbers, and their elegantly variegated
dresses gave additional gaiety and effect to the pictur-
esque scene.

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 eut in boats than usual. It was the thirty-eighth
anniversary of the contest, and, instead of being a scul-
lers' race, as heretofore, it was a pair-oared wager, in
three heats.
