B RACING IN ENGLAND. Great Gathering of Royalty and Nobility to Witness the Contest at “Glorious Goodwood,” ‘The Prince and Princess of Wales—The Czaro- wits and Czarevna, the Dukes of Edinburgh and Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Teck Present—The Scens on the Lawn—Sir Charles Dilke in the Presence of Royal- ty-Moderate Racing—Sister Helen Wins the Steward’s Cup, Uhlan the Goodwood Stakes, Flageolet the Goodwood Cup and Drum- mond the Chesterfield Cup. Lonpon, August 2, 1873, The Goodwood meeting, which wad'brought toa Close yesterday, was, irom a social point of view, one of the most brilliant we have ever known; but, on the other hand, trom a racing point.of view, it ‘Was one of the poorest we have seen for years. The company on the lawn on the Cup day- the great day of the meeting—was, if smaller in num- bers than usual, considerably more select, and in- cluded a very strong representation of ail that is socially most distinguished and influential among us, The Duke of Kichmond, in accordance with his annual custom, entertained at Goodwood House—a very plain-looking but extensive and commodions mansion, situated in the midst of a magnificent park and of some of the loveliest Beenery of which England can boast—a party which included, besides many of the aristocracy, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Czarowita and Czarevna of Russia, the Duke of Cambridge, and latterly the Duke of Edinburgh, on the return of that “BRAW WOOER” from Germany, where he had gone to see his lovely Rance, Then at Molecomb House, a few miles | from Goodwood, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, our great cavalry leader, had, during the week, another great gathering of the nobility, including | the Duke and Duchess of Teck. When to all these | We add the scores of other persons of good station who were stopping ‘for the week at the various watering places along the Sussex coast—Brighton, Worthing, Bognor, Littlehampton and so on—and | @t all the mansions, townlets and hamlets, it may be imagined that the lawn, where every one makes | 8 point of turning out in the very best attire he or | she cin command, presented a brilliant and ani- | mated spectacle. | It was fortunate that from first | to last the weather was singularly beautiful and | that there was hardiy a cloud to cause apprehen- sion as to the fate of the millinery, and not a drop | Of vain to do it the slighest damage. The fashions | have not changed materially since Ascot, when I | entered into the suvject with some elaboration, and it will be suMcient to add that the most popu- | Jar tint is still a very light or ‘iaded" biue, but | that pinks, light greens and browns are also very fommon. Tue STANDARD OF TASTE ‘Was a tolerably high one, though it ought to be mentioned that, in this respect, Goodweed ts some | distance behind Ascot. Atthe “ruvyal meeting” | you are one of two classes—either you are “in so. ciety’ or you are not. If you are you have admis- sion by right o1 your position to the royal iawn, and may rab shoulders with ail the great ones of | the earth if they are there, Ifyou are not, then | You may go lower down the course and ovtain entrance by payment to any of the long range of boxes; at all events, you cannot get into the royai | enclosure. At Goodwood it is diferent. Every one who has paid ior admission to the grand stand has a right to pro. venade the lawn as muchas he or she pleases, and even, if in time, to lay out the Junc.eon cloth on the turi of the delicious terrace which overlooks the lawn. Of course, every one | has to be tolerably well dressed, and a Cinderella in search ofa prince or a beggar maid looking out for | a possible King Coplietia, migit find herself in the | hands of the poiice. But, generally speaking, there | is no let or hindrance, and the ton is not always of | the best. There is a good deal of the splendor | which is more distinguished for ‘oudness than | good taste 7" vulgarity ts sometimes decidedly pro- | nounced, and even morality is of a somewiat donbifui character. LAIS AND ASPASIA are very modest and when they are in society, but one can generaily fud them They do uot | dare to be Very demonstrative, i they lave the | fear of Captain Valentine, the land steward, before | their eyes, and a quiet tint from tim wouid be | quire suilicient. A considerable section o/ tue best- | dressed crowd always inanages to “leave its man- | ners at home,” and this was painfully conspicuous | at Goodwood. The Princess @f Wales and her Bister the Czarevna, togetier with other tilustrious personages, watched the racing irom one corner of | the balcony 01 the grand stand, whence they had a | splendid view of tie whole course, Beiow thom, | on the lawn, there always stood a group of | gorgeous snobs, staring up at them, open mouthed, | With that “stony British stare’? which is always | £0 exasperating to those Who are not accustomed | toit. The Princess of Wales did not secm to like | it, but the younger and liveider Czarevna appeared Vo take pleasure in revurning the compliment and with an interest which seut away many of the | Vulgar herd therougtily ashamed. The SISTERS DKESSED ALIKE | in every particular, Ou Wednesday, the Stakes | day, they Were arrayed in light blue dresses, elabo- | Tately trimmed with white lace, with undersasirts and tunics of purple velvet, and hat-shaped bon- nets to match, On Weduesday they were “got up in light blue dresses, with lemon polonaises, | trimmed with yak, while the bounets were of light | blue, with lemon trimmings and rose buds. The | arevna bears @ strong family resemblance to ste’, but.can hardly be said to be so pretty. She t» much shorter and plamper, and her nose ily decidedly of the retrouss’ order, or, as it 1s fash, Jouable to say, alter mnysou, it is “tip-thiied, like the petal’ of a fiower.’ They appeared to ‘Wateh the sport with a rather distratt air and as if they were considerably bored. The fact is that | they Were a good deal ieft to theuiseives, jor the | Prince of Waes and the Czarowitz evidently | liked the gay company on the terrace and | Jawn and spent most of their tine there, Auong those Who were present was that | RED REPUBLICAN, SU CHARLES DILKE, Who was the most gorgeously dressed person there, w the exception, perhaps, of the flunkey who | attended bim. He was basking io the sunshing of the royalty le hus so olten denounced, while his | colleazue 48 striving in Paria. ment to c ome of royaity, or, at all events, to prevent its increase in the shape of an extra mairiage allowance to the Duke of Edin- burgh, Anotier notable personage present was Earl Granville, of whom it was sald, at the Minis- teriat banquet given by the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion iicuse, on Wednes night, that he was “engaged in his oficial duties,’ and, therefore, could not atiend. OMcial duties may probably bs carried on concurrently with the enjoyment of Tacing. At all events, I carl Granville at Good- | Wood, and he was bowling along towards Lon- Brighton don on the and South Coast line, just’ when lis colleagues in the Cabinet ‘ware | prepiiine to Syeak, The racing, as has already vbeén remarked, was | somewhat below par. We #aW none of our best two-year-olds, with the exception of Lemnoa, who Was beaten in hia race by Mr. Merry's Glenalmond | (the coit by Blair Athol, Out of Coimbra), We aiso saw Packington win a race ii splendid style, and he is a youngster who will probably develop tuto one of the best of the time. OF tle most distin- uished two-year-olds Couronne de Fer snd, jareworth were not at Goodwood, and Ecossiis, though he was there, did hot run, something being evidently wrong with his forelegs, which have always been doubtful, One or the principal haudi- caps was THE STEWARDS!

An eccentric old gentleman named Patrick O'Brien, residing at; West End, ind the proprietor of much estate, both personal and real, persuaded a police officer on Tuesday evening that there was a hidden treasure beneath the ground near his house,‘and that he had made sundry at- | tempts to uncover the same, but was prevented from so doing b; his wife, The policeman accom- panied the old man to the spot, whereupon the latter set vigorously to work with spade and shovel The manner in which he handled those implements showed that it was not for nothing he was delving with such vim, short time he struck two old broken bottles, { ened together, which he pulled forth, There was a glove in the bottles and in the glove $300 in gold, which O’Brien buried there twenty years ago. The old gentieman then extended a hospitable invita- tion to his wartoeeding neighbors to go and enjoy the money with him, but his liberality was not leasing to his wife, and so the money was a in bank, The wife evidently belteved that the 0 | the steamer to see If he could identity the body. NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 18 BRAZIL, { Treasury Estimates and Changes in the ‘Ta1iff—Coffee Supply and Exports=The Question of Mixed Marriag: and Claims of the Church—Custom’s Reve- nue and Health Report. Rio JANEIRO, July 8, 1873. We still remain without a Law of Estimates for the financial year which cemmenced on the Ist. Tn fact, we are stili without one for the year which ended on the 30th of June, and though the bill bas passed its third reading in the Senate it has been so changed that it is questionable whether tiv Geputies will accept it in its mutilated state. In view of this a resolution prolonging ‘he Treasury authorizations to the end of September was run through and sanctioned before the close of June, The changes which the Law of Estimates will make in the tarif are of triding importance and, at all events, will probably not take effect before July, 1874, The only provision which is of much import to foreigners is that rendering definite the annual authorization to foreign vessels to carry cargo ant passengers between all the ports having custom houses or revenue boards, and giving to Brazilian built vessels the bounty of twenty-five dollars a ton, and various other favors, THB EXPORTS OF COFFEB during the year ending June 30 amounted to 1,096,461 8ucks—an Increase 01 471,032 sacks over the exports of the preceding year, and of 1. 3 BACKS in the shipments to the United States, Owing to the augment of quantity, and also of the price, of the chief penance of this region of Brazil, the Cus- toms of Rio collected in duties on exports last year 691,000—an increase of {ull fifty per cent, while he duties on imports increased Oniy nine per ceut. The total of the duties, $19, 000, rather more than half the estimated total for ti i@ whole Empire. GOLD AND BONDS, The governinent has just drawn by lot $1,500,000 of the gold bond issue for cancellation, A curious MARRIAGE QUESTION has just received authoritative decision of the Em- peror, alter the usuai consultation by the Council of State. It is thus:—Since the time oi Pope Gregory XVI. the Pinon and vicars of Brazil have claimed the it, conferred by his Bull, of remarrying con- verted infidels, The word infidel they construcd to include Protestants, Jews, &<.,and whenever a Protestant turned to Roman Catholicity he or she was remarried by them without regard to the former Marriage or to the known facts that the spouse of the foriner Protestant marriage was still alive. Acase in point occurrea last December in the Leopoldina colouy, where the Roman Catholic Vicar of the colony remarried two female colonists, though aware that their husbands, by a previous marriage by the Protestant chaplain, were still alive and in the colony, The affair was brought by the German Chargé to the knowledge of the gov. ernment of Brazil, and the Emperior has dect ied that the Protestant marriaggs were dissoluble only by a regular suit and sentefice of annulment; that the two women have comiitted bigamy, and that they and the priest can be proseccted ‘for crime. Besides this, it has been olticially intimated to ail the bishops that they must cease the practice of issuing dispeusations in such cases, FRELMASONRY, As re‘ ards the Bishop of Pernambuco and the order sent to him to raise the interdict on the brotherhoods having freemasons among them, the time wil not expire until the 12th inst. and not the slightest intimation has yet been given of the intention of the Bishop, whether to obey it or not, | CUSTOMS INCOME, | The government has reassumed the management | of the Rio Custom House dock and stores, which | was Jor three years farmed by @ company, and the | merchants and captains are hoping tnat some | measure will be taken to reduce the extraordinary delays which vessels have of late had to endure.

DROWNING OF HUGH MURRAY, eee Contradictory Strtemeiits, An inquest was held by Coroner Lee yesterday at Police Headquarters, Staten Island, on the body of the man who was found drowned In the bay on Sunday last. John Adams, a private in Battery K, | Third artillery, testiNed that on Sunday morning he found the body about fifty yards irom F Wadsworth; there were neither shoes nor stock- ings on the feet.

Henry Somerville, a fireman on the Atlas, stated that he, Murray and Quimn had been asnore on Thursday evening, and went aboard about twelve | o'clock at night; after he had been on board about two minutes he heard a quarrel, and going ait saw Murray and Jones fighting with sticks; Jones hit Murray a blow and he went overboard; they were not on the gans way; the forecastle was open, Michael Qu @ fireman on the Atias, stated that alter ¢! came on board he was sitting on deck blowing a smail whistle, whenthe watchman came and told them not to make such a noise; Murray told him to mind his owa business; tne two then went aft; saw them fighting with sticks and then heard that Murray was overboard; do not know who struck first.

If citizens choose to give well aud good; if not, they must not be bored, JERSEY OITY'S SANITARY CONDITION, At the latest meeting of the Board of Health of Jersey City an important communication was sent in by Dr. Lechner, the City Physician, relative wo the mode in which the city might best be secured from pestilence. Among other things, the Doctor suggests that a record of births, deaths and mar- Tiages be nok keptand filed weekly in the County Clerk's office; that an officer be appointed to inspect all permits tor burial, and that infected bodies be prevented from being carried into the city. A committee has been appointed to report to the Board such plang as seem most effective.

Seeking Payment for Supplies for Prisoners—An Effort to Mandamus the Comptroller to Settle the Bill, Mr. John Tracy is the Keeper of Ludlow Street Jail. One of his chief daties as Keeper ts furnishing supplies for the iniates. This was ail well so far, but the Comptroller somehow toox it into his head to object to a billembracing his expenditures for | supplies for a period of eighteen months. The amount of this bill was $31,199 77, which the Comptroller thought rather “steep,” therefore re- fused to pay, although the same had been duly audited by the Board of Supervisors, As the Comptroller would not be brought to terms Mr. | Tracy resorted to the popular modern medium of extracting money from the city exclequer—appli- cation for a peremptory mandamus against the Comptrotter to compel him to pay the amount. Mr. Andrews, Assistant Corporation Counsel, ap- peared on behall of the Comptroller, and read an aitidavit of Mr. Earle, County Auditor, to the effect that the bills were presented in such shape that they could not be audited; that the charges were exor- bitant and overcharged; that on eXamination an experienced person had pronounced that a part of , amounting to $28,464, should, at the highest re- iil prices, be reduced $3,506, and that he was in- formed Mr, Tracy had offered to make a reduction of teuper ceut.

Mr. Henry H. Anderson, who appeared for the relator, held that the act ef 1870 reconierred ali | previous powers of Supervisors on the present Boura, that this act was judicia!, and they havny approved and allowed the bill, the Comptroller hat no power to revise their action, The Bboird might as well, he insisted, be abolished if the Comptroller could overrule them, and to say that when ade- niand for payment fora county claim is made it would be a Suiicient answer for the Comptroller and County Auditor to say, “We haven't audited | and approved it,” would be a reductio ad absur- dam. The duty of the Comptroller was executive, | and he had ro right to assume judicial power, and | it Was a monsiruous assumption ot power. He | went on to argue that the words of the statute, that no me y8 shall be paid out of the Treasury except on vouchers pre- | peret and approved by the County | Auditor and Comptroller, should not be construed into an intention on the tot the Legislature to ake all power from the Supervisors and confer it eman, If the Comptrotier might disregard udit Of the Supervisors, he might with equal give the same answer to a decree of the Supreme Court, that he had not audited and ap- proved the debt, and the vouchers were not ready. rews, in reply, claimed that under the and ‘subsequent acis, control of all the fecal affairs of the county was given to the Comp: ler, and that the Legislature, finding the Super- sors Not a suMicient protection for the treasury, | had given the Comptrolier tke right to reaudit and | re-examine as a iurther safeguard for the city and county.

The rapid increase of piracy in the harbor and along the river front of the waters of New York and Long Island shore is becoming a question of more than ordinary interest to our commercial shipowners and assignees, and certainly calls for the enactment of most stringent measures on the part of the authorities to protect our reputation among our foreign customers. It has “come to a pretty pass’? when the river thieves can in broad dayligit take possession of a vessel, beat off her crew, and remain by the ship until everything of value, even to the copper on her bot- tom, has been secured, and then puil quietly and unmolestedly away to some snug cove, impenetrable to the harbor police. This may all seem to the general reader as incredible; never- theless, such @ state of affairs as this exists, and the disgrace which it entails upon our much vaunted system of perfection of government will bo wafted to the four corners of the earth. The time may come, unless something practical is ac- complished to suppress river piracy about the port of New York, when foreign merchant vessels com- ing here may deem it a proper precautionary measure to carry an armament to protect theme selves against these modern ‘Captain Kidds.’? Yesterday Captain Ferry, of the Third precinct, Brookiyn, discovered 4,500 pounds of cable chan at the junk store of Peter and James Kelly, brothers, Ne, 65 Kent street. ‘he cable was found to bear the impress of fire, and suspicion at onc connected the chain with having been taken trom one of the vessels which were cut loose from the docks of the Lon; Island Oil Works, Hunter’s Point, during the grea conflagration of the Sth inst. ‘The jankmen were arrested and locked up on suspicion. Investiza- tion resulted in the fact that the cable in guestion had been stolen irom the Austrian bri’ Oscar, | Captain Surich, by river thieves, on the day of thé fire. It appears that the Oscar, a vessel of 560 tons burden, caught fire at the dock where she was hauled up to take in ae and it became necessary to cast her of, ‘The brig, once adrilt, floated up the river to a point off Astoria, where she grounded and burned nearly to thé water's edge. Captain Surich sent off the crew in boats to keep guard over her and protect her chains, anchors and other imperishable property. While the sailors were pulling about the burning hulk a simall squadron 0. river thieves bore down upon them and beat of the Austrians. They then stole and carried away with them all that was of any value. So rapacious were these scoundrel that they stole 100 fathoms of chain, $300 in gold, and at iow tide stripped the pottom of the brig of her copper, the latter am@unting to the value of 1,590. ae big the harbor police ? Echo an- yhere FIRE IN WILLIAHSBURG, Eee As ei aaa Destruction of the Fourteenth Ward Bell Tower—Narrow Escape of the Beil Ringer. The Fourteenth ward bell tower, Williamsburg, was consumed by fire yesterday afternoon and William Irwin, the beilringer on duty at the time, narrowly escaped a horrible death. Shortly before two o'clock a puff of smoke was seen issuing frdm the base of the tower, which was situated at the immediate rear of the Fourth Street station house, and a moment afterward a volume of flame ascended. Those who saw the fiery outburst were horrified to behold on the apex ol the tower the terrified and imperilied bell- ringer, Mr. Irwin. He suddenly disappeared from view and it was thought “by all that the flames had reached him and that he perished at his post. Fortunately jor him there was an escape rope that haa been hanging from the outside of the tower for many years, and on this he risked his lie in making a descent. Irwin is a man weighing over two hundred pounds; As he was descending the crowd below looked on in trembling anxicty, When about forty feet above terra firma a treacherous fork of flame made an atteurpt to reach him, and would have undoubtedly succeeded but for the pecae of mind exhibited by Oficer Edward rown and some citizens, Whose names were not ascertained, Seeing his perilous cond'tion, they took hoid of the end of the rope that was lying on tne ground and pulled it so iar away irom the burning tower that he escaped the flame and bravely reached terra firma. Irwin’s hands were » tO which he clung aciously; but beyond that he sustained no injuries. An hour afterward he entirely recovered frum the shock, and only gave expression to grief at the loss of his valuable gold watch and chain, coat, vest and a sum of money in the pockets of the hurriedly abandoned garments. The station house and the armory of the Forty- seventh regiment were in peri during the fire, and Captain Wozlom removed the only prisoner in his custody at the time to safer quarters and then turned his attention vo the fire, His command in the station house at the time made preparations tor an emergency by placing everything portable in a position for immediate removal. The prompt action of the police during the excitement showed their eilicient discipline, The tower was 85 feet in height, and was erected in 1863 ata cost of $3,000. Hose valued at $1,125 was also ae test as also a quantity of oakum and loose tay. The origin of the fire is hot Known, but, as it broke out under the tower, where Chief J. W. Smith stabled his horse, it is probable that the hay and oakum became accidentally ivnited, The armory of the Forty-seventh was damaged by water to the amount of $500 and tae lodgers? department of the station house was rendered un- tenantable. The skeleton of the tower, with its enormous bell still hanging, loomed up grimly last night, but it was believed to be likely to fali at any moment, CLAIRVOYANT CLAPTRAP IN JERSEY, accent penemerioren A Wee Widow Turns Fortune Teller= She Takes In Citizens and the Aathorile« ties, but Is Finally Taken In Herself.
