RETIREMENT of POST C ATTAINS.
TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUP.
Sits,--The scheme of retirement proposed to the ac-
ceptn.nce of 300 captains of the royal navy has been
hitherto variously commented on, but now appears to
combine, in one opinion of its merits, the majority of
those interested and of those who can best appreciate
their claims ; which opinion nearly coincides with my

MURDER.
Qr -sTE a, NI ow oa. Y. -- A murder of a most appalling cha-
r. 'eurred here this morning. A young man, about
I.4lti„' 4

life.ol with a frightful gash in her throat from which
1104;%d was still flowing in torrents ; '.ndeed, she was
144i'dere'r'ced to give one deep sigh ere she expired. The
Isw,teller fled immediately down a lane leading to the

own.
Considering my position on the list of captains—about
one third from the bottom, my age being somewhat
above 55 years—and sinking the regard which I, never-
theless, think due to 32 years previous time as lieutenant
and commander, a large portion of which was passed in
active war service, aed ought in fairness to be held as
improving my claim for retired pay, I make no com-
plaint on my own account. I readily admit that a fair
equivalent is offered me (should I relinquish my eligibi-
lity for ne7ive service), for what would be my chance of
attaining the rank and pay of rear-admiral, on the sup-
position that 260 or 270 of my seniors accept the offered
retiremer.t, and I decline it ?
But who n I look at the proposed measure as it seems
intended to affect a large proportion of my elder brother
officers, I cannot conceive how any person can so abuse
the right meaning of words as to call that liberal, which,
if it were a transaction in the ordinary relations of
society, could hardly be characterised as anything but
an unworthy attempt to deprive most rightful claimants
of ss. per day.
The 50 or 60 senior captains, under whatever aspect
their case is viewed (more than that number of admirals
having died since the last promotion), are most justly
entitled to the immediate rank and pay of rear-admirals ;
and if the same advance were forthwith granted to the
first hundred on the list (the junior of them having been
more than 32 years a captain), it could not be considered
any great stretch of generosity.
The Government may or may not feel some real em-
barrassment in requiring the needful supply for the
equitable recompense of these veteran and meritorious
officers ; but would not all the disinterested and gener-
ous of our land—all who would be distinguished as
just, grateful, and patriotic, be forward to consent to the
expense, were it even greater than can be requisite ?
'1 here may be many—no doubt there are some—of
abundant private means, to whom the proud title of a
British Admiral is the most coveted reward, but bare
names are a slender substitute for the well-earned means
of comfort and independence.
We must doubt the genuiness of that justice, that
gratitude, that patriotism,' which, though loud in the
praise of these and such men when their important and
noble services were rendered, in fighting the battles of
their country, Prot( cling her commerce, guarding her
shores from insult and invasion, and upholding her
honour in every corner of the world, now talks to them
of liberality, whilst essaying to foil their long cherished,
• fair, and reasonable expectations.

By the arrival at Blackwall of the General Steam
Navigation Company's ship Soho, Captain J. F. Cullen,
from Antwerp, we learn the safe arrival of her Majesty
in the Scheldt.

The Soho passed the Royal yacht about thirty
miles fr ,m Antwerp, at four P. at. on Sunday, which
place she would reach about half-past six, P.M.
The Black Eagle was four miles astern of the
Royal yacht, and the Porcupine about the same
distance from the Black Eagle. At the time the Soho
passed the royal yacht, it was blowing a heavy gale
from the W. SW., accompanied with rain. When the
Soho left Antwerp, doubts were entertained as to her
Majesty's leaving the Thames, the weather having for
the last two days been so unsettled.
The Soho saluted the royal squadron, which was
promptly acknowledged.
The Lightning and Monkey government steamers, with
the royal carriages, arrived at Antwerp on Saturday
morning.

Royal Humane Society's Office, No. 3, Trafalgar-
square, Aug. 11, 1845.
Dear Sir,—l feel greatly obliged to you for drawing
my attention to a report of proceedings at an inquest
had on Friday last on the body of a young man who
was unfortunately dtowne.l while bathing in the Ser-
pentine River, aed who might probably have been saved
had the Society's boatmen been more accurately in-
formed by the eye-witnesses as to the exact spot where
he had h ien last seen; but on his body being found (at
a distance of more than a dozen yards from where the
bystanders had indicated) fourteen minutes had elapsed,
and which time was marked by a policeman.
He was immediately carried to the Receiving-house,
where every effort :vas used by Mr. Woolley, the medical
attendant, to rtstore animation, but unhappily without
success.
I take this opportunity to inform you that this is the
only fatal accident which lizs occurred since the bathing
season has commenced, although uvards of FOUR
HUNDRED THOUSAND BATHERS have enjoyed
that healthy and cleanly exe vise in the Serpentine.
I would here beg leave to add that at the aforesaid
inquest one of the jury having remarked (in the absence
of any knowledge of our very limited funds), " that
it was a great pity the Society had not more boats and
boatmen for the protection of bathers," my reply was,
that if the Royal Humane Society was more liberally sup-
ported by the public the committee would be most happy
to extend their aid in additional boats and men, not only
upon the Serpentine, but likewise upon the river Thames,
where numerous andfatil accidents almost daily occurred.
I remain, dear Sir, your most obedient servant,
J. CHARLIER, Secretary.
To George Robins, Esq., Covent-garden.
P.S. James Carnie, for whom you obtained a small
subscription for his great courage in leaping into the
water at Leith, during the frost and a heavy fall of snow
last January, and saving a fellow-creature, has just been
presented at our Board with the medal he has so de-
servedly, won, and a high testimonial on vellum, in re-
ference to his bravery and great perseverance. I have
learnt also that your assistance has been extended to a
most deserving and worthy husband and father.
To the above statement Mr. George Robins would
only add, that it really amounts to something AP-
PROACHING SACRILEGE, THAT SUCH A
MIGHTY INSTITUTION, instead of being properly
supported, should only have such STINTED MEANS
to carry out its benevolent intentions.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The racing of the past week has not been of a very im •
portant character. The sport at Brighton might have
been well compressed into two days, and I believe it is
arranged that next year the third day's racing shall be
abolished. An earnest endeavour is also making by the
tradesmen of the place to raise the meeting to that im-
portance in the grade of turf re-uniors, that the size and
standing of the town make it fit it should occupy.
The Brighton Stakes were carried off, according to
my prediction, by Pineapple, and my other selection,
Subduer, was third. Lothario found no difficulty in
carrying off the Queen's Plate, and will, no doubt, win
the same stake at Lewes. At Horwich, Glossy, the
mare I selected to win the Goodwood Stakes, with 7st I tlb,
being a stone more than she would have had to have car-
ried for that race, beat seven others very cleverly for the
gold cup; so I trust my readers will not complain of the
animal I recommended to their attention for that large
and exciting race.

TROTTING MATCH FOR 1001.
Yesterday, a trotting match, which has for a length of time
excited much interest, came off at Figs Marsh, Mitcham. The
match was between Mr. Nixen's grey horse Flanders, and Mr.
Courtney's brown horse Giles. The parties having selected a
suitable road, two and a half miles of distance was measured,
and the horses were harnessed to their respective vehicles and
brought to the starting-mark. Both horses concluded the first
turn (two and a half miles) nearly together, occupying eight
minutes and forty-nine seconds. The grey then took the lead
of one hundred and twenty yards, which he maintained, and
performed five miles in eighteen minutes and four seconds. The
brown was then sprung, and rattled off two miles at an in-
creased speed, and succeeded in coming up with his opponent
at the second turn, completing seven and a half miles in
twenty-six minutes and forty-six seconds, and they both went
away for the goal together, and the struggle now commenced.
The grey broke and was turned, and the brown almost imme-
diately followed the example. They were at the ninth mile
on a par, and were at tip-top speed ; the grey then passed his
antagonist, and went in the winner by sixty yards. The last
bout of two and a half miles was performed in eight minutes
and twenty-nine seconds, and the whole distance of ten miles
accomplished by the winner in thirty-five minutes and fifteen
seconds. Both horses pulled hard the whole time, and ap-
peared fresh at the termination of the match.

The Wolverhampton Races commence this day, and
improved, and the race-fund materially increased, I have
conclude on
tb Wednesday
atavisitto
* As the course has been much
them will repay the speculator.
For this day four races and one match are set down.
The entries for the Trial Stakes not being published,
comment upon them is out of the question. For the
Produce Stakes I prefer most Carissima and Princess
Royal, Reliance should run well on this course, but I am
afraid of her legs.
After this race we have the Wolverhampton Stakes,
the principal feature of the meeting. For this Stakes
nineteen horses have been left in, but I doubt whether
we shall see half that number at the post. Queen Mab
heads the list of acceptances with 9st, but, after her
Goodwood doings, I cannot fancy her chance to be worth
anything for this race. Winesour, with Bst 61b, will be
one of the first three at the finish. Una won both this
Stake and the Cleveland Cup the year before last, and,
therefore, should know the course well, but the state of
her legs prevents me from imagining she can win now.
The Best-of-Three, if recovered from his accident, with
7st 12lb, is by no means to be despised, and will take a
great deal of beating. Neither Joe Lovel or Rowena
I like. Intrepid, 7st 51b, will, if he starts, of course
engage much attention, and be made first favourite. I
know not in what form he is in now, but should Wadlow
bring him to the post in the same way he did at Chester,
I must have him for my winner. The Poor Soldier will
find the distance too far for him, so will Yardley, Nereus,
Salopian, Nix-my-Dolly, and King of the
Gipsies. ThePedometer,merits of Winesour and Lightning are
well known, from their running so constantly together.
Should Glossy go, as she carries a stone less than she
did at Horwich, she will make a capital fight of it with
Intrepid, and to these two I leave the race. Should
neither start, then I would have Winesour in preference
to anything else.
For the Patshull Handicap on Tuesday eleven horses
have accepted, and after an attentive consideration of
the weights, I think Coranna, with Bst 121 b, cannot help
winning; the distance, a mile and a-half, is just her
length. Philip I expect to be second.
The Chillington Stakes look booked for Cherokee,
but if she does not go, why, then, I lean to Lord Harry
and Birthday.
The Cleveland Cup, always a race of interest, will be
sure to create a sporting race. As the distance is three
miles, I think the old Shadow and Winesour will
fight it out.
In the Theatre Stakes Lord Harry and Cherokee will
I again meet, and, I have no doubt, the result will be the
same as will attend their meeting in the Chillington.
For the Holyoake Stakes I do not imagine anything
can be found to beat Glossy or Hooton.

CHEPSTOW.—The news of the South Wales Rail-
way Bill having received the royal assent, was received in
this town on Tuesday last, when one universal shout of joy
burst forth among the inhabitants : the bells were set in mo-
tion, and pealed out their jocund sounds at intervals during the
day; and in the evening the strains of music were heard in the
streets, which did not cease until midnight. Indeed we do not
recollect any occasion when such unmixed satisfaction was ex-
hibited as on this desired event. We hope the expectation of
a revival of trade here will be realised in consequence. Trades-
men are making every preparation to meet the emergency, and
the inns and lodging-houses also look forward to better times.

Mr. W. Laidlaw, the faithful steward of Sir W.
Scott, aged about sixty-six, died on the 18th of May, in Ross-
shire. He was the friend from youth of the Ettrick Shepherd,
and himself a pastoral poet of no mean powers, as he evinced
by his ballad of " Lucy's Flitting," and other pieces in Hogg's
" Forest Minstrel." He was the occasional amanuensis of Scott,
and altogether an ornament to his own or to any other station
where intelligence and integrity are of value.—Literary
