ARSENAL.

Merryman will beat Cynricus for, the Me!combo Stakes,
and North Lincoln will win the Rudon Stakes. On
Friday's events I will offer an opinion later in the week.
A FRESH MAN.

VENTRE ST. GErs.—This horse is included amongst
those paid forfeit for the Goodwood Cup in the list pub-
lished in the Morning Advertiser of this day. This is,
however, evidently a printer's error, for no announce-
ment to the effect that the horse is scratched has, we
have ascertained, been mad() to either the Mess's.
Weatherby or the rec )gnieed persons to whom such facts
are invariably communicated.

THE JULY SUPPLEMENT OF RUFF'S GUIDE TO THE
TtraF.—This valuable little tut f handbook has been
just published by Messrs. Piper, Stephenson, and Spence,
of Paternoster-row. Its utility aad correctness are too
well known to require notice, but we observe that seve-
ral important additions have been made to its usual
contents. The introduction of the principal steeple-
chase meetings is a great improvement, and the ex
tended list of Darby lots for 1859 is both useful and
interesting. The nominations for August have been
compiled with much care, and, what enhances the value
of the work as a book of reference, pains have been
taken to state all the changes of names which have taken
place up to the very hour of publication. The volume,
like its predecessors of last year, has been compiled with
much labour by Mr. Albert Feist-, the intelligent and
active tuff reporter to the Loudon daily and evening
press.

THE BRITISH MUSEDH.—A report of the keeper of
antiquities to the trustees of the British Museum, dater
the 7th Jo y, 1858, P hum; the want of accorotnodetio
for that department. Jf his premises ba admitted, it
followwill that the whole of the sculptures, save no
except the Egyp,inn, Assyrian, and Persian (which Insy
he accommodated by mere rentrAegemeut) esquire e
tirely new buildings, and wish more or less urgency.
For these buildings skylights will be indispensable. It
is submitted that the ground on the north side of tht
Museum (in the event of new buildings being determine,
on) is the proper domain of the "natural history" col-
lections, while the "antiquities" as naturally claim the
west.
THE CALEDONIAN CANAL.—The works of this canal
have been mAitilained its a state of efficiency, and hale
.offered from no serious casualties. Tho traffic, however,
has never yet realised the anticipations of the projee ore
of the canal, and some natural causes are assigned for
the fact. Tee income is now below the tie cm:a ty txpet -
liture, but the coniiis!oners have taken mea'ures
encourage traffic and so to increase the revenue of the
concern. The annual receipts up to May 1 1851. R`"
