GOODWOOD RACES.

RACE-COURSE,fuisnayAFTEitszoort.—That Goodwood
is the first meeting of the kind in the kingdom is an esta-
blished fact that; no one who has had the evidence of his eyes
will gainsay. Newmarket, Epsom, Ascot, and Doncaster,
each has its peculiar claim to popularity—the first as being the
" Lords and Commons " of the turf ; the second in its Derby
and Oaks ; the next in its Sovereign and the Cup ; and the
last in its St. Leger ; each varying from the other, but in
itself " great," as the term is generally used. But it is not from
one important race, or from one peculiar feature that Goodwood
derives its reputation, but from the combination r.f many—from
the extraordinary number and value of its two and three yrs old
stakes, its magnificent cup, its handicap, its profusion and
variety of prizes, its excellent course, and the delightful scenery
by which it is approached and surrounded. The company,
wanting the single charm of kßoyalty, surpasses all other meet-
ings in rank and splendour, is generally large, and always with-
out the annoyance of a mob. The arrangements, too, are con-
ceived in the best possible taste, and are carried out with a pre-
cision and completeness that leave nothing to be desired ; every
thing, in short, is quiet, regular, business-like, and, at th same
time, in the highest degree enjoyable. This brief introduction
has been suggested by our experience of former meetings, and is
fully justified by the appearance of the list and of the race-
course at the present moment —the one is overflowing with
sport, and the other is graced by as elegant an assemblage as
we ever beheld at this highly favoured meeting. The weather
is brilliant, and the ensemble a fruitful subject for description,
but the short space afforded us for making up and forwarding
our dispatch, warns us to refrain; for the like reason it is im-
possible to obtain a list of the arrivals at present—we
may probably have an opportunity of furnishing one in
our next. Meanwhile we may state briely that
Goodwood House is full of distinguished visitors, and that, with
the exception of Petworth, all the gentlemen's seats in the
neighbourhood are open to company.
In consequence of the number of events for decision, the
racing commenced at half-past twelve o'clock, with

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
TIMES.—The intelligence from the, manufacturing towns
is such as to show that at least a hope Of increased activity in
trade generally prevails. From Leeds we have descriptions of
animation in the Cloth Halls, and of Manchester it is said that
there is more healthy feeling than has been known for some
time past. There the effect of the new tariff has been to set
free a quantity of capital which had been previously locked up,
and a disposition to purchase cotton manufactures for the fo-
reign market is arising from the impression that these goods
have already reached their lowest price. From Sheffie,d there
is a corresponding mention of symptoms of a revival of trade,
and the general feeling seems to be, that while the greatest
pains have been taken by designing writers to give affairs the
worst possible aspect, there is still good cause to hope, from the
modifications of the Corn-laws and the operation of the new
tariff, that a better state of things is at hand.
Since the disclosures which were made in the close of last
year of losses sustained by the Bank of Manchester, that con-
cern has occupied a very small share of public notice. It
ap-
pears that the Directors prudently abstain from making any
dividend at present, is will be seen by the annexed circular just
I issued to the sharehdders, which speaks at the same time rather
mysteriously of the fitctre prospects of the establishment:—
" Bank of Manchester, July 18, 1842.
" The Directors of the Bank of Manchester think it proper
to acquaint the Proirietors, that important changes have re-
cently been made in the administration of the affairs of the
Company. Among the first consequences of these changes
has been the commernement of a more careful analysis of the
condition of the Ban;; and it having been made manifest to
the Board of Directos that they have hitherto over-estimated
the value of many of tie outstanding balances, they have felt it
their duty to refrain frmi declaring a dividend for the half-year
ending the 30th of Jute.
" The Directors an deeply impressed with the conviction
that it is alike due tc their own characters and to the Pro-
prietors at large that a full and explicit statement of the affairs
of the Company shoud be submitted at the approaching an-
nual general meeting but as it is impossible to foresee what
may be the actual valie of the shares resulting from the search-
ing investigation whih is now in progress, it cannot be ex-
pected that they shoult here anticipate the communications to
be made in the annualßeport.
" They would, howwer, beg to remind the Proprietors in
the meanwhile, that tle failures which have been already an-
nounced, or may from time to time occur, among parties who
are indebted to the Bak, must be taken rather as an evidence
of an altered system olmanagement, than as affording grounds
for renewed apprehension ; and they venture to bespeak, on be-
half of those who hae undertaken duties of no ordinary
difficulty, that confideice and co-operation on the part of the
Proprietors (in allayitt unnecessary alarm and mischievous
excitement) which areindispensable to a calm and careful in-
quiry, and to an efficie t protection of the interests of all par-
ties concerned.

LAUNCH OF THE GOLIATH AND
VIRAGO.
"Monday the launch of these vessis took place at
Chatham, in the presence of a vast multitude. The
Dockyard was properly thrown open o the public, and
great numbers who had tickets were acnitted to seats in
the booths erected for the occasion. These, at a mode-
rate calculation, contained about 1,60 persons, inde-
pendent of a considerable number of setts appropriated
for officers and their friends. A greatiumber of ladies
were present, and owing to the splendidweather and the
admirable arrangements of Captain Sheiff, the superin-
tendent, and Mr. Fincham, the mastelshipwright, by
which every precaution was taken againt accidents, the
scene altogether had a-most beautiful effet. The Virago,
which was launched first, is a steam-shitof 994 tons re-
gister. Her length on deck is HO r feet, tnd on the keel
156 ; her extreme breadth is 36 fee, her tonnage
breadth 35 feet inches, and her mouLa tr-j'adt,ll 35
inches ; her depth in hold 21 feet. At (Ile o'clock, the
preparations being all completed, the sleet' was given,
and she went off in fine style, amidst entlusiastic cheer-
ing. • the launch of the Goliath took plae at a guar' er
past two. Not fewer than forty shipwrig,ts had been it
work from five o'clock in the morning, ,nd everything
was ready at two o'clock, the hour amounced for the
launch. Among the company present onthe interesting
occasion were—the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch,
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Aslley, Lord and
Lady Morley, the Hon. Mr. Carey, one )f the Lords of
the Admiralty, Admiral Sir W. Gage, Cpt. Fremantle,
the Hon. Mr. Baring, Admiral Bruce, Commander-in-
Chief at Sheerness, Sir F. Smith, Sir T. Wiltshire,
Commander at Chatham, Capt. Douglasind party, &c.
Before the ceremony of christening the Goliath com•
menced, the band played " God save th! Queen;" after
which a hymn written for the occasion, and adapted to
the air " Strike the cymbal," was suns. The bugles
then sounded from the head, and were answered from
the stern, when the Duchess of Buccletch, under the
direction of Captain Sheriff, took the bottle of wine,
which was decorated with rosettes and •arious-coloured
ribbons, and dashed it against the bay, but without
breaking it. A second attempt, how3ver, succeeded,
and her Grace named the vessel " The Goliath." The
bolts and dogshores were withdrawn, ani the magnificent
ship moved slowly and steadily from the dock, and in
less than a minute floated gracefully or the water. Loud
shouts were raised from the crowd is the dock, which
were returned from the shore. The hunch of both ves-
sels was conducted in such an admirable manner that
every one had a good view, and not ;he slightest acci-
dent occurred either on the river or ashore. The dis-
tinguished company, after partaklig of refreshments
provided for them on board the Goliath, separated
highly delighted. Mr. Finch= at tie same time enter-
tained a numerous party at his liaise on the terrace.
The Goliath is an 80-gun ship, and will carry 28 guns
on her lower deck, and the same number on her middle
deck, the remaining 24 guns to be on the quarter-deck
and forecastle. Her tonnage is a litt'e above 2,595 tons.
She measures in length of gun-desk 190 feet, and in
length of keel 1551 feet ; her extreme breadth being 56
feet 101 inches; for tonnage 56 feet, and moulded 55 feet
41 inches; her depth in the hold is 23 feet 4 inches.

THE LEVANT MAIL.
T 11 KEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 7.—Sir Stratford Canning has
just addressed a note to the Porte, accompanier' with a report
of the horrible cruelties which have been recently perpetrated
by Ashkar Pacha at Tripoli. The murder in cold blood of the
Arab chieff, Addul Jeleel and Seif-ul-Nasr, who, with forty
other prisoners, had been betrayed into his hands, and whom
he had gone into the interior to seize upon in person, is the
least revolting feature of the dark tragedy, whose details, hap-
pily for the ends of justice, he has not succeeded in burying
with the bodies of his victims in the desert. The Arabs,
who under promise of reward had given up the above-
mentioned chieftains, and the children of the latter—mere
infants—shared their fate, having been barbarously massacred
and their bodies thrown into wells. The motives of
the monster for what looks almost like wanton and gra-
tuitous wickedness, are nevertheless, it is to be feared, but
too consonant with the usual maxims and antecedents of
Oriental administration ; since, by some of these murders,
lie disposes very satisfactorily of pecuniary claims, and those of
hereditary vengeance by others. Sir Stratford, therefore, has
hastened, by the most impressive, arid, at the same time,
friendly warning, to prevent the Porte from compromising
itself, or inadvertently assuming the responsibility of these
crimes, by leaving the author of them unpunished ; and in
order that the chanees of retribution may be the more certain
(and if left to the Grand Vizier, who is himself stained with
guilt of a dye almost as deep, they would, indeed, be slight arid
precarious), he particularly requests that the report, be laid be-
fore the Sultan. The humane anti benevolent disposition of
his Highness affords every reason to hope that he will view
these atrocities in a proper light. At all events it is only right
that our Ambassador should spare no pains to open his eyes on
the subject. If policy requires that we guarantee the integrity
of the Ottoman empire, humanity not, less than policy demands
that we exert whatever influence we may possess in mitigating
the tyranny of its administration, and encouraging the progress
of civilization under :it.

About a fortnight ago Sarim Effendi, the Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, had addressed a note to M. Titoff, in his double
capacity of Russian and Persian Charge d'Affaires, calling his
attention to the hostile attitude assumed by Persia on the
Turkish frontier. Mahmoucl Pacha, a Kurdish chieftain, who
had been expelled from the Government of Sulymaniah by
Ali Pacha of Bagdad, having taken refuge in Persia, received
there a subsidy of three thousand men, by means of whom he
succeeded in forcibly reinstating himself in his Pachalic. The
Iffimadi-devlet, or Persian Prime Minister, had made a simul-
taneous movement from the north, and advanced upon Bayazid.
In complaining of these unprovoked attacks to M. Titoff,
Sarim Effendi appealed to the amicable intervention of Russia,
since otherwise, he added, a declaration of war would be in-
evitable. As a sequel and consequence of this commu-
nication, a second note was presented only a few days ago,
informing M. Titoff, that Abdourahan Bey, who had
been named by Ali Pacha to the Government of Suly-
maniah, had defeated and put to flight his intrusive compe-
titor; and that intelligence had also been received of a decisive
victory gained by the Turkish troops over the Iffintadi-devlet
at Bayazid. The loss of the Persians is said to have amounted
to more than four thousand men. The intervention of Russia,
which had been previously invoked, has thus, by the valour of
the Usmantes, been rendered superfluous ; nor does Sarim at
al conceal his satisfaction at such a result; for whatever idea
he may have formed as to the extent of Russian influence over
the Persian Government, he certainly could have no great con-
fidence in regard to the manner in which it would be exer-
cised, seeing that nothing had been hitherto done on the part
of Russia to prevent the aggression which had taken place,
while the political fermentation to which she is evidently no
stranger iu Servia, Wallachia, and Moldavia, and her ceaseless
efforts for the subjugation of Circassia by no means tend to re-
move the suspicions he may entertain as to the effect of her
agency in Persia.
I mentioned to you in my last letter that the Turkish Go-
vernment was concentrating an army in the neighbourhood of
Monastir. Two regiments of foot, one of cavalry, and one of
artillery, have been marched from Constantinople ; and four
regiments of foot and three of cavalry from Adrianople. More
than twenty field-officers, aides-de-camp, &c., proceeded a
few days ago by steamer to Salonica. Various surmises exist
as to the object of this expedition. But though the general
belief be that these troops are intended for the protection of
Thessaly, which is menaced from the side of Greece with in-
surrection and propagandism, I think also that the movement is
not unconnected with the disturbances in Bosnia, and in the
country of the Montenegrins. Amogg the late appointments
at the Porte has been that of the Nafiz Pacha, ex-Minister of
Finance, who has just returned from exile, to a seat in the Su-
preme Council. He has, however, by order of the Sultan,
changed the name of Nafiz, which he had disgraced, to that of
Abdourahman : he is thus, like other convicts who return from
transportation, furnished with a respectable alias, and may he
mistaken for an honest man under it.
