GOODWOOD RACES.-TCESDAY•

Seven of the thirty events appointed for decision were
brought to an issue to-day, and the instalment of sport
was sufficient to heighten the expectations which ara en-
tertained of a great and successful meeting. Wednesday
and Thursday are the principal days, and they will sus-
tain the prestige which has attached to them almost
from the establishment of the meeting. The southern
and northern stables are fully represented. From John
Day's alone there are 21 horses, while J. Scott has sent
11, 3. Dawson 8, J. Osb woe 6, Wm- Day 7, and Mr.
Merry 9. Indeed, at present about 200 horses are in
the neighbourhood prepared to fulfil their respective en-
gsgements, and to that number France has contributed
five, and America two.

Worthing, Bognor; and other t)wns along the Sussex
coast are crowded with visitor?, and as ususi a large
number of distingnished persons are being entertained
for the week at Good wood "louse.

The morning was dull and stormy; but, as noon ap-
proached, the forebodings of a " wet Goodwood" were
gradually dispelled as the dark clouds rolled away and
the landscape brightened.
The list of sport cimprised no item of unusual im-
portance, and the racing was of an average first day's
quality.

Mrs. Osbaldiston's Minnie, Bst 21b ............ (Kendall) 2
Betting-2 to lon Fazz,iletto. The betting varied
considerably, the takers of the odds speculating on a
breakdown, for the infirmity of Fazz 'lett° was notorious.
At first 4 to lip was laid on Lord Derby's horse, but at
last those odds were reduced two points,
and during the
race even money was betted, and in some instances the
mare had a decided call. Minnie led, and forcing the
pabe to the best of her ability was soon upwards of 20
lengths a head. Fazz detto gal!opped behind her until
nearing the distance, caught her half way up, and won a
desperate race in by half a length. After passing the
chair Fazzoletto swerved to the left,
and was led, limp-
ing back to the encloiure. The horse had broken dow n
' badly half a mile from home, and had evidently won the
race on three legs. His racing career is now ended.

SCITLLERS' RACE FOR £6O.
One of the finest scullers races on record, and
undoubted the fastest ever rowed below bridge,
took place yesterday from North Woolwich to
Limehouse Hole. The competitors were Charles
Childs, a caulker, of Limehouse, and Thomas
Pocock, a .waterman, of Lambeth, the latter of
whom has not done much, but the former has been
a winner in four or five matches, and it is probable
would have been so yesterday had it not been
for disadvantageous circumstances. Pocock rowed
had no one to show

having a lead of half a length, and so they continued
rowing a desperate race to Buo•sby's-hole where
Childs drew ahead a boat's lengil, and maintained
his lead to the point at Blackwall ; and here Childs,
having no one to show him up, went out of his
course, which allowed Pocock to become first by.
two lengtlP. From Blackwall to Greenwich Childs
gained rapidly on Lis opponent, when Pocock's
galley crossed Childs' galley, also crossing Childs
himself more than once. At IVlillwall, Pocock was
two lengths ahead, when a skiff fouled Childs and
unshipped one of his sculls. ii
—e was at this time
rapidly overhauling Pocock, but by this lost seve-
ral lengths. Opposite the Commercial, Childs bad
much improved his position, and continued to do
so, but it was to late, Pocock eventually winning
by four lengths. So great was the confidence in
Childs that he was backed to any amount to row
again the next day, both men having old-fashioned
boats, but nothing was done.

Naval and Military inteiligr.itt-Q.

. ; In consequence of the large number of Marines
proceeding to China, the Lords of the &mil ally
have decided on removing the battalion of Royal
Marines now stationed at Deal, under the elm-
Mand of Lieutenant John Gascoigne, and attaching
them to the Chatham division. The whole of the
Officers under orders to embark for China, and who
are now on leave of absence, have received orders
to join their respective head-quarters.
The fine clipper sailing ships James Ba!nes,
2,515 tons, and the Champion of the Seas, belong-
ing to the Black Ball line of Australian ships Pal-
ing from Liverpool, will have that port to-night or
to morrow (Thursday) morning, the former having
on bo .rd the 42d Highlanders, under the command
of Colonel Cameron, filled up to the number of
1,000 men by head quarters of the 97 Foot, and
the latter with the remainder of the 97th,
filled up with a wing of the 42d. Lady Cameron
and several other wives of officers will also embark
on board the James Baines at Portsmouth. The

James Baines will ba towed to Portsmouth, and ai

far afterwtrds as may be deemed advisable, by the
new steamtug Resolute, which arrived for that
purpose yesterday at Liverpool, and the Champion
of the Seas will go out in tow of the steamtug
Blazer.

The screw steamers Imperador and Imperatriz
are being fitted for the conveyance of troops at
Liverpool.
We learn by electric and international telegraph
that orders were received yesterday at Plymouth
to despatch the screw steam guardship Ajax, 60,
captain Robert S. Robinson, and the gunnery ship
Cambridge, Captain Arthur W. Jerningliam, to
Spithead, and they will probably sail from the
Sound this morning.
Her Majesty's paddle steamsloop Thrracouta, 6,
commander Fortescue, arrived at Spithead yjster-
day aftgrnoon from the China station and the Cape
of Good Hope. She left Hong-Kong on the 19th
of May, "all hands piping hot for a demonstration,
and complaining of the Admiral's delay in passing
the word." She arrived at the Cape on the 3d of
June, and left on the 9th. While at the Cape she
had very bad weather, heavy gales from the north-
west being prevalent. At Table Bay six vessels
went on shore on Monday the 7th ; one with a
general cargo struck at her anchors, and bad six
feet of wat,_r in her at sunset. The amount of pro-
perty on the beach was 5,0001. No lives were lost.
Eleven of the Cape boats were lose, and 6001. was
refused to take off an anchor. The Barracouta's
boat nearly foundered in making the attempt.
After leaving the Cape she experienceda tremendous
gala of wind from the N.W , which, however lasted
only about ten hours. She arrived at St. Helena
on the 22d of June and left on the 25th.

WOOLWICH, July 28.

Lieutenant-Colonel C. L. d'Aguilar's F troop and
Major J. Anderson's E troop of Royal Horse
Artillery, Captain Gordon's company of the 3d
Battalion, and Captain Gregory's company of the
14th Battalion, Foot Artillery, are ordered to as-
semble on parade to-morrow morning, and after
inspection to proceed by railway to Portsmouth,
where they will embark on board the screw vessels
Victoria and Sydney, for India. The four com-
panies of the 14th Battalion under orders for India
will leave for their destination on Friday. Etch
company and troop has been augmented to 150
gunners, exclusive of officers, non-commissioned
officers, and artificers, Major H. L. Gardiner's D
troop of Royal Horse Artillery arrived at head-
quarters this day from Aldershot Camp.
Experiments were this afternoon carried on at
tae Government practice-ranae Royal Arsenal, in
order to test the value of Mr. Whitworth's patent
four-barrel rifle. In addition to the patentee, a
number of the select committee of Royal Artillery
officers were present, including Colonel A. Tulloh,
superintendent, and Captain H. Clerk, assistant-
superintendent of the royal carriage department ;
Captain M. Boxer, superintendent of the labora-
tory department ; and Captain J. A. Fraser. The
experiments are to be repeated.

The Dee steam-vessel is ordered to leave the
harbour to-morrow morning with a full cargo of
machinery for the Melpomene, Donegal, Doris,
and other vessels fitting out at Plymouth.
Lieutenant W. H. Pym has been appointed to
the command of the Jasper gunboe, and Lieute-
nant J. B. Scott is appointed to command the
Jaseur gunboat. Lieutenant W. F. Buxton, to
the Pylades ; Lieutenant J. C. Wilson, to the
Chesapeake ; Lieutenant F. Irwius to the Sparrow-
kawk ; lieutenant G. H. Barnard, to the Indus ;
and Lieutenant Seymour Curtis (additional), to
the Indus.

THE MUTINIES IN THE EAST INDIES.

Yesterday a parliamentary return, consisting of
sixty-four pages,
was issued, being an appendix
to the official despatches already published relative
to the mutinies in the East Indies. The documents
now given consist chiefly of communications ex-
between authorities in the Indian army
changed
and the secretary to the Indian Government.
Reference has been made to them in the despatches
of the Governor-General already noticed in The
Sun, and in some instances they constitute the
evidence upon which his Excellency's recommen-
dations were based. The question of the greased
cartridges appears prominently in these papers, and
abundant proofs are given of the deep uneasiness
which it caused in the minds of European officers
as well as the Sepoys. "Some of the depot.nen,"
says Lieutenant Wright, "in conversing with me
on the subject, said that the report had spread
through India, and when they go to their homes
their friends will refuse to eat with them." Major
Bontein, at Dum Dum, thought it was "a mere
idle prejudice," but on parading the native portion
of his depot, such a representation was made to
him by the detachment that he felt bound to make
known the circumstances to the commander-in-
chief.

Major-General Hearsey, Commander of the Pre-
sidency Division, reporting at the dose of last
January the ill feeling among the Sepoys at Bar-
rackpore, suggests as a cause :
" Perhaps those Hindoos who are opposed to the
marriage of widows in Calcutta, are using under-
hand means to thwart Government in abolishing
the restraints lately removed by law for the mar-
riage of widows, and conceive if they can make a
party of the ignorant classes in the ranks of the
army believe their religion or religious prejudices
are eventually to be abolished by force, and by force
they are all to be made Christians, and thus by
shaking their faith in government lose the confi-
dence of their officers, by induCing sepoys to com-
mit offences (such as incendiarism), so difficult to
put a stop to or prove, they will gain their object."
The papers include a report of the proceedings of
a special court of inquiry held at Barrackpore on
the 6th of February, when several sepoys who were
examined expressed. their objections to the use of
the cartridges.
About the same date, a sepoy in Lieut. Allen's
company gave information privately of a plot
amongst the sepoys of four regiments at Barrack-
pore, having for its object the seizure of Fort Wil-
liam, the burning down of the electric telegraph
office, &c., on the pretext of " an apprehension of
being forced to give up their caste and be made
Christians." Major-Gen. Hearsey harangued the
brigade with energy, and appears to have antici-
patd the best results from the new mode of drill,
viz., breaking the cartridge with the band instead
of by biting it. The subsequent disbandment of
the 19th Regiment of Native Infantry, stationed at
Berhampore, was nevertheless soon found neces-
sary. A petition addressed by the men of the 19th
to Major-General Hearsey, alleges various threats
on the part of Lieutenant-Colonel Mitchell, as to
their fate in case of a refusal to use the cartridges ;
but many of their statements are contradicted by
that officer. A special court of inquiry was con-
vened, for the purpose of ascertaining the conduct
of Lieutenant-Colonel Mitchell.
Subsequent to their disbandment the Sepoys of
the late 19th Regiment addressed the following pe-
tition to Major-General Ilearsey.
(Translation. )
‘To the Major-General Commanding the Bar

rackpore Division.
"The humble Petition of the faithful Officers and
&Toys of the discharged 19th Regiment Native
Infantry, from Pultah Ghat,
" Showcth,—That your humble petitioners' re-
giment has be-n raised nearly 100 years, since
which time no disturbance bas occurred ; and have
marched on service wherever they have been
ordered ; but, unfortunately, through the advice
of some wicked men, on the 26th February the re-
giment commit'ed a very great crime, for which.
the Government issued the following order :
' That they were to march immediately from Ber-
hampore to Barrackpore.' Accordingly we marched
and arrived at Barrackpore on the 31st March,
1857, where we were punished by receiving our
discharge before the whole force, after which we
confessed our fault to the Major-General, and also
before our arrival at Barrackpore we agreed, iii case
