eAGEMENTs.- Neither Mr. Ten Brock nor Mr.. Har
Ian are backward in bringing the inmates of their
stables forward where there seems any chance of
throwing in for good thing. All their cracks
nave enough work cut out for them to do, in the
course OF the next three months to keep them from
making max any too great supertluity of flesh. 1t is
true forfeit has been paid for PriOress in the Ascot
Stakes; but that is only to have her in better order
for the Royal Hunt Cup, trophy more honorably
worth contendng for. In the race for that she wifi
carry liz pounds, whilst Sunbeam, two wears her
junior, carries 10 pounds. 1t is true, Sunbeam
won the Oaks last year, but she has since been de-
leated by some wretched animals. Prioress NAV
therefore, be considered well in WOODBURY. has
been entered for an off chance in the same prize
Palace Stakes at Ascot
Alter Ascot we shall probably next hear of Prio
ress az Liverpool, where she is to go for the CUP a
naihulGeap race OF great Importance, with very
foiestar, whom she lately beat for a Queens Plate
elShI pounds allowance of weight This will an
parently, bring them to pretty even terms At
GooGwood both Americanstables come out in force
Starke. Cincinnati, and WOODBURY. are all entered
Tor the GoodwOOd Stakes, and Woodburn Das
Chlles, Cincinnati and Prioress for the much COW
e!eu CuP. In the contest for this celebrated
p!ece OF plate our American champions will be
pltted against such gallant competitors as Fisher
man, Saunterer, bennington, Lifeboat Toyophitn
Gamester, Zuyder Zee, Beadsmau The Promised
Land, North Lincoln, and Marionette Conquest
oyer any one OF these would be something to Drag
other engagements mentioned in the London RaciuT
calendar are those of Prioress and Starke for the
Bentnck Plate, ON the last day of Goodwood Ra-
ces. They will there meet Fisherman Saunterer
Borderer, and North Lincoln
We see by the Scientifc American, that French
engineer in Paris, Mr. Hippolite Charles Won, has
invented and secured by patent in France an anna
ratus for conducting natural electricity from tha
great laboratory of nature, and storing it up in
magazines from which it may be conveyed to one
rate machinery, to illuminate streets in cities and
for variety of other purposes His plan is to con-
duct the positive electricity of the atmospbere in
billy regions, by rods designed for the purpose in
valleys, low and fiat countries he PROPOSES to eIe
Vate conductors and receivers to great altitude by
balloons connected with the earth by wires The
atmospheric conductors are to be connected nv in
suated wires with plates extending to a snifabIp
depth in the earth the insulated reservoirs for stor
ing up the electric fluid, to be situated midway
between them. These are to be so arranppd that nv
breaklng and closing the circuit the current can be
conveyed to any place desired and to any situation
to effect the objects contemplated. As nature fur
nlshes electricity in such exhaustess quantities. this
ingenious discoverer proposes to accomplish an oh
ject to which too great Importance can hardly be
attached. lie proposes to use with his apparatus
TINS magical agent for the rapid development of
vegetation in gardens and fields
III the great expense of producing electricity by
the common means, can be avoded-if the appara-
Jus OF NJ won shall meet the public expectations in
this respect and enable agriculturaists to bring
tins universal agent into general use at small cost
his discovery will entitle him to the lasting graft
tude OF mankind. and will confer upon his name i'm
perishable renOwn.
From MEXICO Remonstrance of Mr.. NcLane.-
Washington, july l.-Advces from Mexico of the
18th ult., state that the American minister had ad-
dressed remonstrance to Miramon's Minister for
Foreign Affairs, in the name of President Bu-
chanan, expressing his great Indignation at the
Withdrawal OF the eXequatOrs from the American
ST. murder q nj Ann oil
zens by MiramOn's soldiers at Tacubaua
The massacre is characterized as a violation of
national rights and treaty stipulations and Mira
mon Is warned that it will be remembered, and re-
uresS demanded and ultimately obtained, whatever
may be the result OF the remonstrance.

=, The ST. LOUIS Breach OF PROMISE Casa Ncp
1rtat Granted.-The defendant motion for a new
trial in the case of Ellie C. Carstang aqt Henry
Shaw, IN which verdict of 500, 900 DAMAGES was
given to the plaintiff short time since was argued
yesterday IN the Court Of Common Pleas by Mr.
Shepley for the defendant, and Mr. Wright for the
plaintiH. After Mr.. Wright had concluded his ar
gument, Judge Bates rose to reply, when the Court
stopped him, and said that if the plaintiffs case
was perfectly Tree from all exceptions, the amount
OF the verdict would not, under the circumstances
OF the case, be a sufficient reason to induce the
Court to set 1t aside. But the Court did not re-
gaId the pialnIt S case in that light, and it was
only necessary to say that the Court could not
allow any verdict to stand where the Court had ex-
ciuded testimony, and the parties had got it before
the jury got it where they were likely to see il
by publishing it in the newspapers as was done in
this case.
The motion was therefore sustained and new
trial was granted.
The case cannot, of course come up for trial be-
fore the next term of the Court, which will com
mence in November.
