COWPER, M.P., ou HARVEST Rosen. —At the Milli parochial celebration of harvest home at Hertiesforribury, Mr. Cowper observed that " Every one must take an interest in gatherings of that sort. Those who were not agriculturists must honour thaw who were engaged in the cultivation of the land. All labour was honourable in proportion as it was useful ; and none was more honourable than the labour of those who were en gaged in turning to acconot the =whine and the rain— nut who this seams had been doing without the rain—in the cultivation of the soil, and the production of human food. (Hear, bear.) No labour was more honourable than that of the farmer, the ploughman, the ditcher. the hedger. in short, of every man employed in providing food for the community. (Cheers.) One great advantage of these gatherings was that they brought together people who did not knew, but who ought to know, one another. The evil of the day was that there were so few opportunities of bringing people together. There were many persons of wealth who were wiling to help the poorer clams, but there was so much ignorance of them, and so much enspicimi• arisieg out of that igno. renew. that they did cot know how to do it. They could all help one another. There were some thins the rich could do to help the poor, and there were many things the poor caula do to assist the rich ; and if any of them sided people whom Providence had blessed with the gifts of for tune above others, to be of use to them, they would be conferring a benefit on those penons, for which they would be grateful. Mr. Hastings (the rector) was much indebted to them on that score ; for they bad enabled him to benefit them in various ways, and, amend others, by that good advicehe bad given them to-day, and which he hoped they would torn to the beet account. Io the athletic sports which were to follow, behoved that the young men would well re present the riling manhood of the county. He hoped they would show that, while they could be active sod alert, they were equally distinguished for that excellent conduct and good sense for which be most say that the laboariag classes of the parish were remarkable. Let them metabain the re putation they had acquired. He was anxious that those who came there should have to speak not only of the activity of the jumpers, and the speedlif the metiers, but that they should he able to say that there was no perish in the county which bad a better sort of men aril wetness—husbands and wives—than the perish of Hertingfonlhoury.

NEW YORK, AuGuar 30, EVEIMfC. On the 27th instant the hearing of the extra- ditiou case of Muller was resumed before the United States Commissioner Newton. The British government was represented by Mr. F. F. Marbury, as on the previous day ; while Messrs. Chauncey, Schaffer, and E. Blankman, appeared for the prisoner. The Court was thronged with spectators anxious to obtain a view of the accused, who sat with an unmoved countenance. Mr. Blankman, on behalf of Muller, applied for an adjournment to give time to prepare for the defence. Mr. Marbury, for the British government, opposed the adjournment. Mr. Blankman briefly responded, urging a motion for a brief adjournment. Mr. Schaffer followed for the defence, and main tained that as yet there was nothing to justify the ocassuitiaL, the accused being a foreigner. He con tended that the treaty under which the extradition was demanded had been suspended, and also ad- I vested to the Florida being a pirate, sent out by English subjects. I Inspector Tanner having being re-examined as to the height of the prisoner, Mr. Schaffer showed that Muller could not be one of the two men seen in the compartment with Mr. Briggs on the night of the murder. Commissioner Newton then delivered hisdecision, stating that under the circumstances he was con strained to grant a certificate and commit the pri soner, being satisfied as to his guilt. Muller is to leave per the Etua. REPORTED CAPITULATION OF NANKIN. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 11. Advicea received here report the capitulation of Nankin. RECALL OF THE TURKISH FLEET FROM TUNIS.

FRANCE. ST. NAZAIRE, SEPT. 11. The mail steamer Floride arrived here to-day at noon. She brings 94 passengers and 2,000,000 francs in specie. THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA MAIL LIVERPOOL, Sm. 11. The West African steamship Athenian arrived in the river at six o'clock last evening. She brings advicee from Benin to July 26 ; Fernando Po, July 31 ; Cameroons, August 1 ; Old Calabar, August 2 ; Brass River, August 4 ; Bonny, August 7 ; Lagos, August 10 ; Cape Coast Castle, August 14 ; Sierra Leone, August 22 ; Bathurst, August 25 ; Teueriffe, August 31 ; and Madeira, Sept. 2. She brings 676 ounces of gold dust. Very little trade was doing at Benin, and the river was healthy. The commodore of the English fleet on the West Coast was expected daily to blockade the river for the purpose of enforcing pay ment of the tine imposed upon the natives some time ago by the Governor of Lagos for the outrage upon Dr. Henry's establishment. Trade was very dull at Fernando Po, and the small pox was prevalent amongst the natives, although the Europeans were healthy. At Cameroons trade was still stopped, but there was a prospect of its being shortly reopened. Trade at Old Calabar had been stopped for fifteen days in consequence of a native trader refusing to meet a debt that he had agreed to compromise. Tha Brass River was healthy, and trade pretty brisk. At Bonny trade was lively, the price of palm oil moderate, and the river healthy. In the interior, at Lagos, the war amongst the natives was still raging, and likely to continue. The colony was tolerably healthy, but trade very dull. On the 29th July the hired transport Woobyez sailed from Cape Coast Csatle fur the West Indies with 380 troops.

Bea,—The publication of the • weights for the Csearewiteh and the Cambridgrakire hes been the event of the past week. Warwick races were very tame, and Lei cester a downright failure ; but in these days of " post betting," and • wide swains racing public, the appearance of the autumn handicaps did not create any great amount of eseitemest or provoke active speculation, the busiest of busy bees being content to let there stand over until after the Doseaster Meeting. Thus I need not enter into a discussion of them, and can only re mark for the present that Gamma would have got much better in for the Cambridgeature, and EGA Len ambits foe the Cesarewitch, had they not performed at War wick. They have both good engagements at Doncaster, which they appear boned to meet ' • and the gathering on the Tows Moor, thanks to the re cen t downfall, of rain, will be patrocised by so many homes that have been keptat home for mouths psst, waiting for " good going," that the meeting will be brilhoit as ever, the twenty events already closed having the most extensive entries in the majority of in stsnaee. rhe at. Leger will create the most intense excite ment up to fat last if nothieg should happen to the two cracks, and with • probability of the Cup Thee being about the best of the maw°, although the entries have yet to be made, the four days' racing will be undoubtedly the best that has Wee witnessed since Ascot. On Tuesday, the most important item will be the Cham pagne Stakes for 2-yr-olds, Red House in (nearly sin fnr loop), amethere are rumours of mem two superior "dark' juveniles being likely to oppose Gardevisnre, Doge, Arohi modes, Barbarism, and Ammar* all haying the beet of re putations. However, it will require a more than ordinarily good one to overthrow Gerdevisure ; and the Filly Stakes, is the same course, will bring out another apleodid 2-yr old in Wild Agnes, whose superior condition may enable bet to beat Fair Melrose easily, and the " dark " lot can hardly cumprissoneto lower bar colours. The Glasgow Stakes might be won by something as yet unknown to f ame, forßrown Breed is the best public performer. There being a doubt whether the Revival Plate will attract Lady Clifdeo, it is best left alone ; and when some half-a-dozen of the lot in the Don caster Plate ere trained in one stable it would be beat to wait and see which way the wind blows. The Great York shire Handicap, St. Leger Course, has a good acceptance, and East Lancashire, Blue Mantle, Canzonette, Gratitude, and Merry Wife all look like Eluding sanguine backers * the int mentioned especially, as his fame is known to be good, and he may beat all but Cinzonette and Blue Mantle, as both Frofreluche and Gratitude, who are turned loose, are said to have been in pickle all the year for the later autumn handicap... . . . . . . . The Se. Leger bids fair to bring out nearly as good a field as last year, in despite of Breeze, the Calista colt, Skeffing too, and one or two others that looked like runners a few days ago, being now on the doubtful list., and 1 anticipate seeing ni;dily all the following at the post : _ Ridden by I Ridden by General Feel Blair Athol Miner Fly Cambusesn Knight of Snowden 1 llrinclisi Bsraish ... ... Para°. F. Adams. Peeti Sharp. Muter Richard J udd. Stratford .... Lyuch. Doyle• I have too often noticed the performances of the above for it to be necessary teenier into them now ; and it must suf fice for me to say that on public form and the promises of improvement given the beet of the lot:must be handicapped thus : Blair Athol, list 101 h; General Peel, Set 71b ; Miner, Set 71b ; Baragab, Sat 31b ; Ely, Sat Mb ; Cambuscan, fist Ilb ; Knight of Snowileo ' let 1011.; and Peon, let 101 b. lam not overlooking the fact that the St. Leger ofteo upsets previous running, and every calculation thereon ; but shall, oevertheless, look upon the above as a pretty cor rect 'intimate of those between whom the race will mainly rest, only doubting whether /3aragah will run up to the standard, as she is given to falling lame, and might not reach the post in proper fettle. General Peel may not run a better horse in the hands of Wells than he did ia those of Aldcroft, who, it is said, rather wishes for some one else to ride the hone—and Wells is almost secured ; at any rate, I can see no impediment to Blair Athol beating him again, and can come to no other conclusion than that the St. Leger studs • very fair chance of being again won by a Derby winner. The minor 'Yenta on Wednesday are of some import, end the Municipal is a rich stake for Siberia to pick up.

The Handicap Sweepstakes for 2-yr olds is sot worth meddling with ; and the handicaps set for Thursday are all liable to have • different complexion put upon them by the two first days results. Still, nothing can prevent the Portland Plate, scramble from the Red House for all ages, attracting a monster field, however well My Man-, Lady Clifdeo, Gemini', Lady Lou.., Flying Fish, and Warrior, who all hove prior engagements, may figure before the day, and formidable as they are certain to prove over the course. Lairs, Liston, Bioodella, and Lytham, must not be overlooked under any circumstucee, and should be included with the above in all lots taken against the field, Bioodella, the best of Lord Stamford's, and the one backed of Captain Christie's being the safest to trust. The Cleveland Handicap, one mile, has Blue Mantle just as well treated as he is for Tuesday's race, but with Newmarket, Gratitude, Gemma, and others in the hunt, this must not be interfered with until the *tutors are tele graphed. The Mile Sweepstakes for 2.yr-olds is u import. ant • race as the Champagne, sad ought to attract a larger field, unless the previous performances of Doge and one or two others comprised in the " dark " list are so brilliant as to reduce the issue very nearly to • certainty. This, however, can hardly be the cue with Ostregar (7lb extra), the Lion (by Wiodhousd out of Limier), Olmar, Friday, and King Charming (all with 51b penalties) liable to run, besides Joker, who has been backed for so much money for the Derby, that he ought to beat all the public horses except the Lioo ' to whom Oetrepu can hardly give the half • stone. The Eglisgton is another mile race with t wo-year-olds engaged, and Wild Armor Victorious ought to win when the best of the two three-year-olds opposed to them is Glenda*, who is unfortunate again in the mile Scarborough Stakes, when having such • superior horse to meet aa the Clown. Ihe let for Friday is • strong cue, and with Caller Ou uopenalised, she will put plenty of in terest into the cup if she is entered for it, ss is almost certain to prove the case. Hippolyte is another first-class lady that has escaped, and if opposed by the pair the St. Leger great guns that may run will have to look to their laurels. The St. Leger must herald the winner of the Doncaster Stakes, and show whether Cambuscab can beet Coup d'Etat for the 200 son.

The customary "extra " day for comparing bets on the St. Leger was, on the present anniversary, only remarkable for its extra dulness, if that were possible, mein that we h►ve had to chronicle the woe general apathy on the "re gular " days at Hyde-park-corner for • considerable time past. The attendance was the most meagre ever known oe a similar occasion, ■nd it is certain that the amount of speculation was oorrespoediegly small. Betting on the "Setlinger " was almost at • standatilL There was little to choose between the two favourites, although Blair Athol may have been said to have the call, for 11 to 4 was laid against Lord Glasgow's bone ; 5 to 2 was the highest offer against the Derby win ner. The Miner was firm at 7to 1, and B•rag►h's restora tion was a thiog that sorely pttuled those wbo took liber ' ties with him on the strength of his rumoured lameness. Several investments were made on the Great Yorkshire Handicap, but not to any considerable amount. A whole string of hones were introduced for the Cesarewitch, but until the acceptances shall have appeared the prices laid may be accepted u merely uominal. A few outsiders were also backed for the Derby.

The Royal Naval Reserve has now been long enough in existence to permit of a satisfactory judgment being formed as to the value of the insti tution as a means of strengthening the Royal Navy in cases of sudden emergency. The Reserve has been scarcely four years in existence, and it has now nerolled, disciplined, and available, a force sufficient to man two powerful fleets with men who are the very pick and choice of our mercantile marine, and this, be it remembered, wholly irrespective of, and in addition to, the regular naval fume of the country. The number and rapid succession of important events which of late years have forced themselves on public notice may, perhaps, have caused the nation to forget the circumstances under which the Naval Reserve was first called into exuiteuce, or may have prevented that close observation of its growth and progress to which its great national importance entitled it. It will be remembered that at the close of the Crimean war the injudicious discharge of the continuous service men left our Navy in a very helpless condition. The men so dis charged had, from their long service in men-of-war, become unsuited for trading ships, and, conse quently, soon melted away into other than nautical occupations, or in some instances found refuge in the workhouse, whilst the sailors iu the merchant service, disgusted and demoralised by the treat ment these poor fellows had received, tabooed the royal service altogether, and so it came to peas that her Majesty's ships could only be manned after long delay, with very great difficulty, and with a class of men who were by no means the most eligible that could be found for the purpose. In this dilemma the Royal,Commission and the Parliamentary Com mittee commenced their labours. The well-known expedients of the high bounty and the street bands were first tried with but iediffereut success, and were immediately followed by the wise and now completely successful creation of the Royal Naval Reserve. To Mr. Ferrer, of the Board of Trade, and Captain Brown, late registrar-general of merchant seamen, must be given the credit of the original suggestion ; whilst to the present right hou. Secretary for the Colonies we owe that system to which we are indebted fora powerful and efficient organisation. Tue Royal Naval Reserve is now a great national feet, and quite as important an element in our national de fence as is the volunteer army of which we are so justly proud. When we consider the inducements that are offered to our merchant seamen to join the reserve, and remember that our mercantile marine keeps nearly 300,000 men constantly employed, the number actually enrolled, nearly 18,000, way seem rather smaller than we were entitled to expect. But it must be remembered that the force Las had from the commencement to contend with three serious obstacles—first, the natural shyness of a man-of-war which is inherent in the merchant sea- ' men ; second, the jealousy of the royal service and the coolness with which the project was taken up by the authorities of the Admiralty; and, thirdly, the almost absunlly strict list of qualifications which were demanded before a man was permitted to enter. The shyness of the seamen, as will be seen from the annual numbers, disappeared after the first year. In 1860, 2,879 men were enrolled ; in 1861, the numbers jumped to 5,350 ; in 1862,6,86 were enrolled, and then the strict testa and qualifi cations began to tell, and the number of eligible nom to be nearly exhausted. In 1863, the numbers enrolled were 2,234 ; and this year, up to the present mouth, only 744, making in all nearly 18,000 out of the entire 300,000 before mentioned. But these comparatively scanty num bers are by no meant , to be attributed to any disin clination on the part of our merchant seamen to enter the reserve. Ou the contrary, their appre ciation of its advantages become more general every day ; but the fact is that the ridiculous stringency of the list of qualifications keeps out hundreds, perhaps thousands, whom the Registrar-General of Seamen is obliged to reject in consequence of their not coming up, in some one point or other, to the required standard. For example, to be eligible for admissions wan must have served as A. B. for a certain number of years in asquare-rigged vessel—as if some of our best seamen were not made in smacks and schooners. Be must be of a certain smwre, although it is an axiom amongst experienced com manders, that tall, heavy men are by no means the best suited for the navy ; he must submit to the most rigid medical inspection, he must pass an examination in seamanship, azd he must enter into au agreement to attend regularly at divine service, no matter what may be the distance between the church and the ship in which he undergoes his annual drill. The wonder is that with so many conditions to be complied with, so large a number as 18.000 men should have been enrolled, and the more we should prize a body of now care fully disciplined men, who have passed so many tests as to character and fitness. Another circumstance which has interfered with the enrolment has been the coldness with which the project has all along been treated by the Admi ralty. A gallant sea lord, now deceased, was so certain that it would be a failure that be said, "If you ever get 5,000 men I'll eat them ;" but behead to see three times that number enrolled. The officers, too, of the Reserve feel that there is a want of cordiality and frank acceptance in the manner in which they are dealt with at Whitehall. Those who have reached the highest rank in the reserve % and who are iu command of ships, had set their hearts on being permitted to carry the blue ensign, and were proportionately elated when Lord Clarence Paget announced in the Bowe of Commons that the much desired boon had been conoeded. It may be imagined, therefore, that their chagrin was equally great, when the Order in Council came out, and the concession prui ad to be surrounded with restrictions which in nine ewe out 01 ten made it a dead letter. An [TWOPENCE enumeration of those restrictions will show in how very few instances the Royal Naval Reserve officer can hope to see his much prized blue ensign fluttering at his mast-head. It cannot be hoisted except in a ship carryiug 32-pounders, which must moreover be fired at a mark a certain number of times during each voyage. As most of the reserve officers who could claim the blue ensign are in command of mail steamers, it can easily be imagined how difficult would be com pliance with this condition. Heaving-to, two or three hours during a voyage, for target practice, would not much accelerate the transit of her Ma jesty's mails, nor would such frequent booming of the great guns be overagreeable to the invalids who so often are the principal passengers in such ves• eels. The blue ensign cannot be hoisted either unless by an honorary commander or by a lieutenant, and the former be must have passed the age of 60 years and have retired from active service. Another eril • way in which these restrictions work is in stopping promotion in the merchant service. Our ship owners of first-class vessels, as well as their captains, have a fancy for the blue ensign, and are thus in many instances prevented from promoting deserv ing chief officers to command of ships solely because the latter would not by the Admiralty regu lations be permitted to hoist that symbol of Royal Naval Reserve Rank. Having thus shown what has been the progress ol' the Royal Navy Reserve up to the present time, and glanced at the circumstances which in our judgment have retarded a full and emnplete de velopment of this most valuable defensive institu- Von, we shall proceed to describe briefly the mode in which the system is worked, and the means by which the reserve men when actually enrolled are matte fit to take a part in the defence of their country when called upon. As the plan pursued at all the poits is the same, a deacrip- • tion of what goes on in the London training ship will be sufficient. On the eastern side of the south West India Dock, a conspicuous position is occu pied by her Majesty's frigate President—the flag-ship of the ill-fated Admiral Price at the untoward affair of Petropaulourki—and on board of this vessel the Naval Reserve men repair each Friday during their stipulated annual period of service to learn their great gun drill, and then rifle and • cutlass practice. Captain Mould, R.N., who is in command, is au officer of great experience and a successful gunnery instructor, and under his superintendence the Naval Reserve men are put through their drill by Naval Reserve officers. On Friday last we had the pleasureof witnessing a bard day's work, and also the satisfaction of bearing from competent judges that the men went through their exercise with a promptitude and efficiency which would do honour to the best drilled ship in the Navy. On the drum beating to quarters, something like 140 magnificent seamen came pouring down the hatchways to the main deck, and immediately commenced knocking about the 08- pounders, of which the ship's armament consists, as if they were an many nine pins. Mr. Roe, sub-lieutenant of t h e Royal Naval Reserve, gave the word of command, and the first indication we noticed of the improved train ing of the men was the dead silence, so dif ferent from the hubbub and uproar which commonly prevail in a merchant abip. To cast loose the guns, search, load, run them out, and lay them, seemed to be but the work of a moment, and not the slightest hesitation or inexpertness was exhibited in any of those difficult manomvres. The whole pro gramme of a hot sea fight was then gone through with extraordinary vivacity and vraisemblance. First one broadside was fired, then another ; some times the fire was concentric, with a view of sinking the enemy at once ; then a dropping fire would be ordered as she was sup posed to be bearing down, and each suc cessive gnn was elevated in proportion as the distance decreased. At one time the enemy was supposed to be forging acme our bows and prepar ing to rake, and in a moment our men crouched behind their guns, and the busy and crowded main deck was transformed into a desert as if by magic. Then, as the relative position of the imaginary foe I was altered, firing from the port or starboard bow would be ordered, the men would scamper across the deck like wild cats, with small respect, we must add, for the persons of the spectators, and the discharge of whatever number of guus could be brought to bear would be heard as simultaneously as if only one bad actually been fired. The pen dulum was in constant use to regulate the discharge of the gun in unison with the supposed motion of the vessel, and the firing was in all cases timed with a stop watch. In'imost cases the time occupied was less than that permitted by tbegunnery regulations, and in all the firing was far above the average celerity. It was altogether • most animated and exciting scene, and nothing could be more satisfac tory than the zeal and alacrity with which the men went about their work. It was obviously a labour of love with them, and a friendly strife between the crews of each gun to see which should do their work the most to the satisfaction of the directing officer. The alacrity with which the huge guns were moved in and out solely by the agency of human muscle was truly marrellona, and the work exhibited to the best advantage the athletic forms of men such as we believe it would be very difficult to find in the mercantile marine of any other country. After the drill on shipboard the men went on shore, and in a large shed which has been constructed for the purpose finished their day's work with a warm bout of cutlass practice, in which their proficiency was quite as conspicuous as in the previous management of the great guns. We should add that in this shed is also placed a moveable target, with which the men are, I by an ingenious contrivance, taught to take aim at moving objects. The target is placed at one end of the abed, and made to oscillate as a ship's side would do in the water. The man stands at the other end holding a string which communicates I with the target. When he has covered his object ; he pulls the string, and, if his aim has been correct, I the target ceases to move and presents a full front ; if the aim has been incorrect the stoppage takes place at an angle of more or less acuteness, accord ,mg to the imperfection of the aim. In this way gunnery is taught without any expenditure of powder, and the same may be said of the great gun drill on board ship, where only caps, or friction I fuses are used for the broadsides. . The above slight and imperfect sketch of the mode of training pursued on board the President will beeuthcieut, we trust, to show that the Royal Naval Reserve is now a real living fact, and that all that will be necessary to give it its full develop ment will be such a relaxation of the conditions of admission as shall permit of the formation of a se cond close of Reserve men, and a little more cor diality on the part of the Admiralty towards the Naval Reserve othoers, is the concession of the blue ensigns, and other small matters by which the dig nity of the Royal Navy would not be in the slightest degree compromised, but which would leave a powerful moral effect in disposing the beet officers in the Mercantile mlirine to adetpt Reserve service under Her Majesty.
