••••t..?__l4ltillt," le open daily, under the direction of Mr. Grogan

once practically conversant with, and personally interested
in, the agriculture and husbandry of the regions in which
they happened to be established; we rather believe that the
very happiest consequences would follow. A few scions of
our best aristocratic gentry, in the colonies—the trans-
planting of some such intelligent men of family and business
and first-rate farmers as Mr. PUSSY, for example, the Pre-
sident of the ROYAL AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION—wouId
not a little improve the transaction of Government business,
and very largely advance the science of practical agriculture
throughout the Government jurisdiction. Indeed, we are
bold to believe that the settlement and example of one
such individual, in a country so abundant in all
mineral wealth and tropical products as Ceylon,
would accomplish more for the interests of that tine
island in ten years, than ;the continuance of Lord
STANLEY in office, in Downing-street, could accomplish in a
thousand. By a happy fatuity it is upon Ceylon that Lord
STANLEY commences his experiments of official reform ; be-
cause ne example can be adduced of a colony in which the
mismanagement of the great officers of the Crown at home
has been so signally contrasted with the more sagacious treat-
ment extended to it by the servants of a commercial com-
pany, as this island of Ceylon. But let that pass for the
present. It is i-Aagined in Downing-street, that if gentlemen
holding civil appointments there presume also to possess and
look after estates on which they have coffee plantations,
their attention must be mischievously distracted from the due
discharge of their public duties. If the fine old hunting
establishment at the Oaks were still maintained, and Lord
STANLEY himself were n'iw out three times a week with his
late grandfather's hounds (as we have known him to be since
he knew Downing-street), we are much mistaken if one word
would have emanated from him, on this occasion, touching
the incompatibility of official duties with the ordinary ma-
nagement of landed property. But those days of more in-
nocent and—we really must add—much more harmless
exci ement seem to have gone by for Lord STANLEY. His
evil star will not permit him to leave well alone. He could
not keep his fingers off New Zealand, but he first raised a poli-
tical blister on its system iu the shape of his chosen Governor,
Captain FITZROY ; and has since, in his efforts to reduce it,
operated by such a counter-irritation as the encouragement
afforded by his imbecile proceedings to the gentle HESU.
Ceylon was doing somewhat better than of late, when Lord
STANLEY issues his fiat that civil servants holding landed
estates there must dispose of them within two years. Why,
my Lord ? Your accusation against the parties is not a posi-
tive one ; you do not venture to tax them in terms with the
specific offence of having neglected their public duty in look-
ing after their private property ; for in a subsequent dispatch,

alluding to the " incidental mention" you have found "in a
letter, of several officers of the Government being constantly
absent from the capital at their coffee plantations,'
your Lordship proceeds thus :—" I am happy to feel
myself relieved from the necessity of inquiring into

the truth or falsehood of this statement." Good. But
why, then, act upon it precisely on the assumption that
it is true? If you suppose it false, why inflict this arbitrary,
this Oriental sentence of alienation of their property on the
parties? If you are uncertain whether the statement be
false or true, why deal with it exactly as you would if every
tittle of it were affirmatively substantiated by your own con-
viction? There is much of the characteristic irritability,
precipitancy, and (we add, with paid) injustice of the Noble
Secretary in this inconsistent proceeding. But let us look at
what his Lordship's charges are, when they are re-
reduced into• something less ambiguous than a Sybilline
denunciation. His Lordship imputes to the gentlemen con-
nected with the Cingalese Civil Departments, " a low state of
public feeling." What, does he imagine the public at large,
and the Conservative party in particular, think of the tone
of his own public feeling, when it leads him to exhibit him-
self, for years together, in the leading-strings of a political
nurse of no higher character than Sir J. GRAIIA3I? The
civil servants are reproached further, "with a want of energy
and proper pride." (Strike us " New Zealand " and
" Jamaica," out of the failures recorded of official imbecility
and disingenuous tampering, my Lord, and then, if you
please, talk of " energy " and " proper pride.") They • are
reproved for being wanting in the zeal, without which ser-
vices cannot be advantageous to the people, or acceptable to
the Government." What is his Lordship's construction of zeal?
No reproach, for ought that he states, justly attaches to them
for any defect of honest and even hearty intentions in the cause
of their country. The feeling which engenders these intentions
we respect as a generous zeal. But if Lord STANLEY quar-
rels with these gentlemen because they are not bigoted par-
tizans in all the movements of religious or political party—
because they express themselves with temperance and

moderation, and a solicitude for the feelings of others, instead
of with ill dissembled resentment, vehement rashness, and a
bitterness reckless of all the pain it may cause or the mis-

chiefs it may sow, we congratulate the gentlemen of Ceylon for
having left behind them in England—even if Lord STANLEY

It-111--k,,perfori.„ol

should happen to have taken to it—such an unworthy and
unstatesnanlike qualification.

Intelligence has been received at Liverpool from Monte
Video to the loth vt- Jul.,. It npr.aiwc, freln this hat stn
ultimatum had been sent in on the previous day t

demanding a categorical answer in 72 hours. On the after-
noon of the 10th this was confirmed to the British merchants
by Mr. TURNER, the British Charge d'Affaires, who read to
the Chairman of their Committee a dispatch from Mr.
OUSELEY, dated the 9th of July, to the effect that "the
Baron DEFFAUDIS and Mr. OUSELEY had finally demanded the
withdrawal of the Argentine troops from before Monte
Video, and the retirement of the Argentine squadron ;"
that they also offered their mediation to the Monte Videan
Government for the purpose of arranging a definitive peace
between the two republics. The result remains to be seen,
but it is not likely that ROSAS will continue to brave the
power of England and France.

By the arrival of the packet-ship Henry, we have ac-
counts from New York to the 6th inst. There is a good deal
of discusssion, mixed with a little boasting, in the papers
about a war with Mexico, and preparations are in progress
for the anticipated contest. A call has been made on the
Governor of Florida to furnish 800 men to go to Texas.
The New Orleans papers give detailed accounts of the
movements of the military in and for Texas, from which it
appears that troops are fast gathering in that country for the
purpose of opposing the Mexicans, and according to accounts
from Vera Cruz, the Mexican troops, amounting to between
10,000 and 15,000 men, including a large p-oportion of cavalry,
had received orders to march to the Texan frontier,
and take their position ten leagues east, or on
the Texan bank of the Rio del Norte. The domestic
intelligence in the American papers is without much interest.
The Caledonia steamer, which reached New York on the 4th
inst., had brought out large orders for flour and corn. The
cotton market was firm, with prices a shade higher, and the
exchange on England at 9% to 10.

The Madridjournals of the 19th are chiefly occupied with
discussions relative to the marriage of the QUEEN and her
sister. According to most of them the most probable result
will be the marriage of her MAJESTY with Prince FERDI-
NAND of Saxe Coburg, and that of the Infanta LOUISA
with the Duke DE Mo:rr PENSIER. The former is not a
matter of very great importance, for from all accounts the
QUEEN is of a very weakly constitution, but the other,
should the report be well founded, will cause no little ex-
citement throughout Europe. It is one of Louts PriturrE's
darling objects, and he seldom fails. The Castellano, Herald°,
and some other journals, urge no objection against the mar-
riage, in fact advert to it with satisfaction ; and, probably,
for a " sufficient reason." It would be difficult, however, to
reconcile Austria, Russia, and Prussia, not to mention Great
Britain, to such an alliance. On the 19th no business was
done publicly on the Bourse, which is thus adverted to in a
letter from Madrid :

" The state of our Bourse is certainly curious ; but it does not
a^pear to be well understood in foreign countries. As the official list
contains no quotations, it is supposed that no business is done, and
that our Funds have fallen to the ♦ery lowest point of degradation.
This is quite a mistake ; it is true that the Bourse of Madrid is ex-
ceedingly paralysed, but it is not exact that no operations take place.
Business is done, but the account of it is not published."

The Paris journals announce the return of another Con-
servative candidate to the Chamber of Deputies, M. DE
BELLEYME, by the electoral college of Vendome. There
were four "candidates in the field—two Conservatives, one
belonging to the Left, and the fourth a Legitimatist. At the
first scrutiny the two former, namely, M. DE BELLEYM
had
and
M. D GNES, were highest on the poll, but as neither
an absolute majority, a second contest took place, when M.
DE BELLEYME was returned by a majority isf 42, the numbers
being respectively 286 and 244. The other candidates were
in miserable minorities, to the great mortification of the
Opposition journals.
The Journal des Debats contains an article ontilfo,Bepa oteist
of the Irish Catholic prelates against the Acadenie
which it states that the new institutionwill, in all praobtiltitoyf

" The State Gazette of Lucerne gives an account of a Congress
held on:the 15th and 16th instant at Zug, of fifty-seven of the
most distinguished Catholic inhabitants of the thirteen Catholic
cantons; at which,' says that journal, all deelared themselves
ready to sacrifice their lives and properties in defence of their
faith, against the attacks at present made on it.' They also unani-
mously declared that, while exacting every guarantee for the
rights of the confessional, and the free exercise of their own wor-
ship, they would not in any wise infringe on the rights of the Pro-
testants.'

"On Wednesday, about two o'clock, Antoine, the man who mur-
dered Lieutenant Aubree, was seen, by a corporal of the same re-
giment, crossing the Place d'Armes at Versailles. The alarm was
given, and he was immediately pursued, but before hands could be
laid on him, he took a pistol from his pocket and blew his
brains out.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Satlrday Evening.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to
5,000 bales, all to the trade. There was no change in prices,
There was a good market for Railway Shares, and Scrips
were higher.
In the Bank Returns, which were offieially gazetted last
evening, there appears to be but little alteration in the aggre-
gate amount of the issues. The return of the Bank of Eng-
land, it is true, gives the whole business transactions now at
35,552,905[., an increase of 7%9 at this period
of the quarter, might be fait, f c....c.Aated upon, and for these
reasons :
The public deposits were, by the last return, 7,319,6124
now they are B,222,lo9l.—increase, 902,4901.
The other deposits have declined a little, but there is an
increase in the seven day and other bills, as well as in
what are called " other securities," which last time were
12,391,1881. and now are 13,297,048/.
The "rest" shows a small but still a gradual in-
crease. It is now 3,616,6854 and last time was
3,611,164/ The proprietors grumbled very much
indeed when s ome time since the balance of undivided profits
were under 3,000,0004 and bad management was then pretty
freely charged as against the directors. Now that things
have taken a different turn, and the " rest" is augmented to
3,616,685'., there arebut few connected with the corporation
who do not award a meed of praise to the managers of the
Bank.
The variation in the amount of promissory notes issued in
the four weeks ending on the 13th inst., is too trifling for
special notice, as respects the issuing establishme] its of
Scotland and Ireland. The whole amount is now 9,601,252/. ;
last time it was 9,662,4l4L—decrease 61,162/.
There are late: advises from Buenos Ayres and New
York, but the details, which are of some interest, apper r in
another column.

The British Securities continue to be rather heavy. Con-
sols for the Account are quoted at 98% and for ?Loney
the same. Exchequer-bills are steady. Bank Stock is at
212% for the Account.

The only quotations in the Foreign Funds have been to
day in Spanish Passives at 6% ;in the Dutch Two-tin,d-a-
Half per Cents at 60% ; and in the Four per Cents. at 97%.
There has been a considerable amount of business tran-
sacted in the Railway Shares to-day, and very gener2ll. ,v at
advanced prices: There is a very good demand for tht East
India Railway at a steady advance in the quotations. The
near approach of the settlement in the Share Market tends
to check business of a fresh charaeter. Altogether the market
for Railway Shares is extremely good.

We regret to state that his loyal Highness Prince
Albert has met with an accident which, although slight, is
likely to confine him to his room for some days. On Satur-
day, previous to going up to town, the Prince was coming
fast down stairs, when his foot slipped, and he sprained his
ancle.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.---We perceive by an address,
published in another column, that Mr. Alderman Wood, the
senior alderman in rotation, will be at his post this
day, to solicit the suffrages of his fellow-citizens for the
high and important office of Lord Mayor of the City of Lon-
don. That he will be returned by the Livery to the Court
of Aldermen by a triumphant majority, as he always has
been, there can be no doubt; and we are at a loss to conceive
what reason the Court of Aldermen can give for rejecting
him. We shall, doubtless, be told of his connexion with the
Talacre Company, and the dangerof disgrace to the City from
the fact of one whose liabilities, as connected with that Company,
are so great occupying the Civic chair. This argument has
been used with powerful effect on former occasions. It is,
however, now perfectly inapplicable. We have reason to
know that Mr. Alderman Wood has discharged every liabi-
lity to which he was subjected in consequence of his con-
nexion with the Talacre Company; that he has a legal dis-
charge from every creditor of that Company who had any
legal claim upon him ; and that Sir Peter Laurie himself is
in quite as much danger from the creditors of the Talacre
Coal Company as Mr. Alderman Wood. Is it because he
embarked in that speculation that he is to be considered as
an improper person to hold the highest civic office? Let the
other " most potent, grave, and reverend seignors" of the
Court of Aldermen beware ! How many of them hold shares
in various joint-stock companies at the present moment ? Do
they consider themselves disqualified thereby; or is it only
when shares are at adiscount that the holder of them is
" not to be endured ?" We are obliged to make these
" guesses" in the dark at the cause of the pertinacious rejec-
tion, by the Court of Aldermen, of the claims of Mr. Alder-
man Wood, because, although his opponents have dealt freely
in insinuations and inuendoes, they have been very chary in
making disticct charges. Whenever they have ventured to
do so those charges have been invariably met and refuted.
By his legal acquirements Alderman Wood is exactly
suited for the office of Chief Magistrate of the City of Lon-

STRIKE OF THE IRON-STONE MINERS AT CONSIDE.
—ln consequence of the continued strike of the iron-stone
miners, at the Derwent Iron Works, Conside, near Shotley
Bridge, Superintendent Hall, and a party of the Durham
rural police, proceeded on Tuesday to eject several of the
workmen from their houses; but,in consequence of the miners
assembling in great numbers, he was obliged to desist until
he obtained an additional number of men. On the following
day, the suuperintendent having received a reinforcement of
men, he ejected about fifty families from their dwellings,
amidst the shouts and menaces of the miners, who occa-
sionally assailed the police with a shower of stones. Inspector
Hall, however, exercised the utmost forbearance, and fre-
quently warned the people to desist; and, on returning
from the village, although followed and hooted, and pelted
with stones, he prudently withdrew his men, in excellent
order, to a distance, until the mob dispersed. The strike still
continues.— Tyne Mercury.
WORTHY OF IMITATION.—The Earl of Falmouth,
wishining to encourage upon his Cornish estates a more
general cultivation of green crops in connexion with an im-
proved system of cropping, has offered for the farms which
have been best cultivated and cropped handsome premiums,
in proportion to the number of acres which the terms may
consist, beginning with farms exceeding 200 acres, and
ending with cottage tenements containing not more than 25
acres. The crops which must have been grown in succession
are-1. Wheat, or other grain suited to the soil. 2. Turnips,
mangel-wurtzel, and other roots. 3. Barley or oats. 4.
Grasses. 5. Grasses. Tenants have the option of growing
a crop of rape (for consumption by sheep upon the land) in
the sixth year before wheat. It is proposed to inspect the
farms of the competitors in the months of July and August,
and to award the premiums in the month of October follow-
ing.— West Briton.

CARRIER PIGEON EXPRESSES —On Sunday after-
noon last, Mr. Davies, one of the ushers at Lambeth Police-
court, while in his garden at Camberwell, observed a pigeon
at a considerable height hovering about and flying to and
fro, as if at a loss to find its way. The bird was at such an
altitude at the time that he thought it almost impossible to
bring it down. He, however, fired at it from a powerful gun,
and in an instant it fell close to his feet. Upon examining
the bird, which is one of what is commonly called the skinner
kind, he found a neatly cut slip of parchment tied to its leg,
on one side of which -there were W. P. H._ 4, and on the
other C. N. 1-5, which, there is very little doubt, was in-
tended to convey some information for stock-jobbing or rail-
way share speculators.—Post. [W e think Mr. Davies should,

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The Doncaster meeting can hardly be said to have been a
successful one. The fields, except in the Two-Years-old
Stakes being miserably small, and the attendance of those
county families, who used to be present in such numbers in
the days of Lord Fitzwilliam, Mr. Beaumont, and the Duke
of Devonshire, induced us to reflect that the nefarious doings
which had disgraced this meeting of late years had prevented
them from gracing the course with their presence. The Man-
chester and Sheffield division came out in great force, but the
betting was not carried on in the large sums I have witnessed
before. The charges, as usual, were dreadful. Talk of those
of the British Grenadier;—why they are nothing to the
Doncaster lodging-house keepers! It is unaccountable how
racing men are preyed upon, and hew tamely they submit to
it. It has often struck me that if a man who had been im-
posed upon in the manner frequently practised at Doncaster
and Chichester, was to keep the bill he paid, and advertise it,
with the address of the person who sent it to him, in the
Racing Calendar and Bell's Life, and also stick it up in the
Subscription-room a week before the meeting, he would be
doing an act of great kindness to his fellow-men, who would
avoid the house so taboed, as a pestilence or a man with the
itch. And now to business :—The Fitzwilliam was a mere
canter for Trueboy. In the match that followed, and which
was la_•gely speculated upon, Semisaria—though in her old
form as to condition, was in her old temper—would not run
a yard, and was easily defeated by a length.
The Champagne brought an excellent field to the post,
and although my selection, Malcolm (backed at evens
against the lot) was coughing, he yet ran very respectably;
my other fancy, Princess Alice, finished in front of them.
The Traverser is a colt that will be heard of again, and the
Squire's Stockport filly pleased me much. Bill Scott's re-
appearance in the saddle was hailed with great satisfaction
by his friends.
The race for her Majesty's Plate, between the Shadow and
Jinglepot, was won with great ease by tie mare, who ap-
pears to be farming these plates a la Alice Hawthorn.
In the Cleveland Handicap I was again fortunate enough
to name the winner, Godfrey, pulling through as he did at
York.

Lc,rd George Bentinck's Ennui cut down Tom Tillloch for
thz rich 500 sovs. stakes without the slightest troali-Le.
WEDNESDAY.—The day big with the fate of Weatherbit
and Miss Sarah, drew together one of the largest concourses of
persons ever seen on the Heath. Weatherbit was backed at
all sorts of prices. In appearance no horse could look better,
but, as I wrote, I thought he never would recover his Good-
wood dressing. His running was exactly what his enemies,
who were as thick " as leaves in Vallambrosas Vale," pre-
dicted, and his succumbing afterwards to Chertsey proved
him even worse than I conjectured he was. Old England's
withdrawal caused a great deal of dissatisfaction, for looking
at his running atAscot with Pantasa, he could not well have
lost. The money got out of Old England by the party will
go far to satisfy their losses on Weatherbit. Mentor was
coughing, so his running cannot be taken as true. The
Baron, who I thought would attain about the third place in
the race, owed his victory to the manner in which John
Scott brought him to the post, and the judgment with which
he was ridden, by which all the good qualities he possessed
were made use of, instead of being destroyed, as was the
case at Liverpool. Little money has been won by anybody,
the stable, though thinking him a dangerous horse, did not
imagine he was good enough to win. Miss Sarah's per-
formance Was an excellent one, and her friends were cer-
tainly justified in backing her. I believe she had the speed
of the Baron at the last. The other races on the list were
not run off.

THURSDAY.—After the settling, which was only a partial
one, we had four races run, all of them interesting to pro-
fessionals and amateurs. In the first, Comrade beat Mid-
lothian and Annandale by a head, chiefly owing, I suspect,
to his being fresher than the gelding, who may be said to be
nearly "used up" by this time.
We had a field of eleven at the post for the Great York-
shire Handicap, and a most interesting race it furnished,
My Mary (my second choice), beating Glossy (my selection)
by a length.
In the Innkeepers' Plate, Semiseria, being for once in a
good humour, actually won a very fast run race. Like the
boy that cried " wolf," she was not trusted at last.
The Park Hill was a mere canter for Miss Sarah.

The Two-Year-old Stakes again brought a numerous field
of young ones before the public. Princesss Alice and the
Pen colt were beaten off, so the severity of the pace may
be guessed. The finish of the two leaders was most exciting,
and showed the strength of Dawson's stable this year. Malt's
form was a marked improvement from what it had been.
In the Gascoyne, Mentor's defeat was entirely owing to
Nat, and not to Pam.
In the Cup, Sweetmeat, in her Ascot manner, disposed of
Alice and her companions with little trouble.

The Autumn season at Newmarket commences on Tues-
day with rather a slender list.
After the usual Trial Stakes and T.Y.C. Sweepstakes, we
have the 800sovs.Buckenham Stakes, to which Lord Exeter,
Colonel Peel, and Mr. Wreford have each set down their
horses, with the understanding that they are to bring one of
those three to the post. Of Lord Exeter's lot I should pre-
fer most the Lucetta colt. Of Colonel Peel's three, Queen
Anne, from the manner in which she won the July Stakes,
and cf Mr. Wreford's contributions I should think he would
send the West Countryman, and out of the three to which I
reduced the field, Nat, I think, upon Queen Anne, will be
declared the winner.
To the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, always a
race of interest, there are 18 subscribers, but I doubt
if we shall see half that number of horses at the
post; Ides, in all probability will meet his old
opponent Wood Pigeon, and receive at his hands
the same beating he had at Ascot; and if Lord Ex-
etcr's colt can beat Pug, I think the race must be awarded
But as the latter receives 41b., she will be just able
to beat him.

In the Hopeful, which follows, I think the gar of .the
