Retirement of Mr. Meiklam.— This gentleman, one of 
the oldest and largest masters of Mr. Thomas Dawson, after u 
long and successful career on the turf, has declined’ racing, 
from the state of his health, which has for some time been 
in a most precarious condition, and the whole of his stud is to 
be brought to the hammer at York this day (Friday), by 
Messrs. Tatteraall. Although Mr. Meiklam cannot boast of 
having carried off the Derby, St. Leger, or Oaks, yet in the 
great handicaps he has been particularly successful, having won 
the Metropolitan with Stilton, with whom he rau second 
also for the Chester Cup, tho Cambridgeshire with Raby, 
the Liverpool Cup with Lightning and Inheritress, the’ 
Great Yorkshire Handicap with Snowstorm, the Northum- 
berland Plate with Inheritress and Stilton, the Great 
Yorkshire Stakes with Poynton, and the Champagne Stakes 
at Doncaster, with the Italian. 
Retirement of Mr. Greville. — This gentleman, who for 
the last quarter of a century has been one of the chief sup- 
porters of the turf, aud was associated as the confederate of 
Mr. Payne, gives up his racing stud iu a short time, aud will 
confine his attention to breeding, having a magnificent stud of 
horses and mares at Hampton Court, including the stallions 
Alarm and Orlando, and the brood mares Industry, Jamaica, 
Duvernay, Barcelona, Little Finch, &c. During "his career 
on the turf, Mr. Greville won the St. Leger with Mango, nnd 
in all probability would have carried off the Derby with 
Alarm, but for an accident at starting. He also won the 
Cambridgeshire, and Emperor’s Vase at Ascot, with Alarm; 
the Ebor Handicap and the Goodwood Stakes, with Adine ; 
the Suffolk Stakes, with Murmillo ; and numberless other 
races which we have not time to enumerate. In his early 
years. Mr. Greville had the management of the late Duke of 
York’s stud, which, under his direction, was remarkably 
successful on the turf. 

THE EAST. 
Odessa, Aug. 15. 
A band of Caucasian mountaineers, commanded by a son 
of Schamyl, have made a razzia iuto the province of Tiflis. 
They have sacked several places, put some people to death, 
and carried off a general’s wife and a Princess Orbelian, her 
sister. The news caused a panic at Tiflis. 
Two Lancer regiments have been sent by forced marches 
from Odessa to the West. 
According to Austrian advices, requiring confirmation, 
45,000 men, allies, had been embarked at Varna up to the 
13th. 
Alexandria, Aug. 1(5. 
The day before yesterday the Viceroy left for Constan- 
tinople. 
INSURRECTION AT DAMASCUS. 
Letters from Damascus to the 10th inst. state that an 
armed insurrection of the Mussulman population had broken 
out; but it was quelled by the use of artillery. 
♦ 
NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. 
HALS. Caledonia, 120, Beubow, 72, Wellington, and 
Poictiers, are ordered to be fitted to receive Russian pri- 
soners. 
Some further strong reinforcements will be immediately 
made to the army in Turkey iu the shape of the 14th 
regiment, from Malta, and strong drafts from the dep6t 
companies of tho 30th, 33rd, 41st, 47th, 49th, aud 50th 
regiments. 
A Turkish Vessel in Shields Harbour. — A Turkish 
and a Greek vessel are in Shields harbour at the present 
time, and the picturesque dresses of the crews have attracted 
a good deal of attention. On Tuesday, the master of the 
former vessel, a noble aud dignified looking Turk, applied to 
the North Shields magistrates for advice. He could speak 
excellent Italian, aud addressed the magistrates through an 
interpreter located iu Shields. It appears one of the crew 
had bolted, aud how he will make his way through the 
country aud out of it is a question ; but he bad not only 
run off with himself, but the master’s gold watch ; nnd a 
rascally-looking Greek, with a true piratical contour of face, 
was in the custody of the police as a party concerned. The 
Greek had been seen going between bis own vessel and the 
Turkish vessel, aud holding conversations with the deserter. 
He had also been observed setting him off from the railway 
station. As a copy of the Koran could not bo procured upon 
which to swear the captain, the Greek was remanded iu 
custody for three days. 
A firm at Ostend has just bought at public auction iu 
London one of the Russian prizes recently condemned by 
the English Admiralty. The Belgian Minister of Foreign 
Affairs, has, however, refused to allow the vessel to be 
nationalised, on the ground that such a measure would be u 
violation of neutrality. “ International law," he says, “ does 
not permit neutral states to admit into their ports cruisers 
aud their prizes. I 11 their recent declarations ou neutrality, 
the Swedish and Danish Governments have announced the 
resolution of preventing the entrance, condemnation, aud 
sale of auj r prize, cases of distress excepted. If the sale in a 
neutral state be interdicted, purchase is also interdicted to 
the neutral subject. Now, the neutral subject cannot pur- 
chase elsewhere what he cannot purchase in his own state. 
The purchase of prizes would be a real participation in the 
profits of the war — that is to say, a sort of derogation from 
neutrality.” 
MEDICAL. 
New Treatment of Cholera. — The method of treating 
cholera patients described in an extract from this week’s 
Lancet has been adopted in King's College Hospital with 
great success. Thirteen cases in all have been admitted into 
that institution ; out of these the first six, which were treated 
on the old method of attempting to check or stop the diar- 
rhoea, proved fatal. The remaining seven, treated ou the 
system described below, have recovered: — “ On the 15th of 
August there were five cases under treatment, the patients 
lying in wards especially set aside for them. They were 
all in a satisfactory state, and likely to do well under a 
plan of treatment which will startle some of our
