GOODWOOD RACES.
The company at Goodwood this year was unusually numerous and dis- tinguished; the weather was very beautiful; and there was excellent racing sport: so the races were more than usually pleasing and successful. On Tuesday, the Orange Stakes, a 101. handicap with 1001. added, was smartly contested by eight horses, and won by Mr. Payne'Saucy- Dick (Docker6 Clarissa and Cosachia being tecond and third: but alter the race it was feud that the horses had not start from the right post, and had run a mile ands quarter instead of a mile and a half; so the-race was run again, and, singuhrY enough, the horses were placed " just in the same order as at first—on/T a KW" and a 'head separating the three foremost horses. The 3001. Sweepstakes for four-year olds, was won by Lord Eglinton's Glen Seidel, (Marlow); the distance. three miles and five furlongs, being run in 7 minutes 37 seconds.

"Again the return indicates an increase on the excessive mortality of the pre- vious week. The deaths from all causes, which in three previous weeks were re- spectively 1,070, 1,369, and 1,741, rose in the last to 1,931,• a number which is almost double the weekly average, and exceeds that of the previous week by nearly 200. To compare these results with the deaths from' ell causes in four weeks when influenza was unusually prevalent in the last quarter of 1847, it may be stated that the mortality at that time increased in the following numbers: 1;086, 1,677, 2,454, 2,416, and in the fifth week continued to decline. The deaths from cholera, .which in three previous weeks were 152; 339, 678, rose in the last to 783; a rate of increase which it will be observed is not so great as in the first weeks of the outbreak. But the deaths from diarrhoea (fatal in a great majority of cases to children) and dysentery, which in three previous weeks were 54, 100, and 146, increased in the last to 238, showing a more rapid increase recently than the mortality from the more malignant form of the diaea.se. In the correspond- ing week of 1848, the deaths from diarrhoea and dysentery amounted to 187; a mor- tality which is almost asconsiderable as the return of last week. The total deaths from the three diseases In the present return were therefore 1,021, whilst the weekly averageoftheseason is only 92; a result, when compared with the excess of mortality from all causes' . which shows.that the aggregate -deaths from other diseases do not vary much from the usu.al amount. Smallpox, scarlatina, and typhus, however, are now under the average, especially the first two of these zymo- ties; meaides and Imoping-cough have falleutto the average. Cholera was fatal last week to 382 males and 401 &Melee; previous returns shrtived a majority on the ether aide. . The districts on the South side of,the river still form the field on which the disease is most active. The deaths froth. it, which in this region' sere in three previous weeks, 93, 192, 443, rose last week le 514. There is a alkht decrease in the Eastern distriCts.

The districts which show the greatest mortality are Bermondsey, where 64 deaths occurred last week, Newington, where there were 66, St. George (Southwark); where there were 70, and Lambeth, where there were 111.
