A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS," seataining the matte of the day's Races, is pub lished every main daring the Sporting Seseoo, at six o'clock. A norm be. not elapsed since the public were informed that Lard DZIBT was resolved to quit the Turf, and betake himself exclusively to in-door pastimes. His life has hitherto been divided between the two most exciting of modern pursuits, Parlia mentary politics and hone-racing. With charac teristic spirit he has enraged in both very much in the Name way. To helium he has brought all the buoyancy of pleasure, and to pleasure all the shrewd ness of a man of business. In the midst of mo mentous consultations his friends have been put out by his uncontrollable levity, while at Epsom or Doncaster he frequently wore • preoccupied look, and those who disliked him were wont to say that his earnest gravity had in it something sinister. The troth is that a man of his mental mould seldom is able, and never for long, to throw half of himself into either amusement or work. He is too wilful, impulsive, and egotistical, to do otherwise. He could not, for the life of him, refrain from quizzing the men he designed for his colleagues at the very moment he was putting together his Cabinet ; and the excessive keenness he so often betrayed in affairs of the Tart, has exposed him, more than any other man of his station, to bitter words from betting men. From which of the two avocations his Lordship derived most real enjoyment it is not for as to say ; but we have little doubt that hie satisfaction at "licking" en opponent in debate was very mach the same as in beating • competitor for " the (gyp;" and that his delight in carrying a close division was at all times essentially the same as that in winning " a hotly "contested stakes." When, therefore, the announce meet was made, on what seemed to he good as thority, that the Earl was about to devote himself altogether to polities, those who knew him best ascribed his determination, if serious, to so change of tun or disposition, but simply to a conviction that he had not tines to enjoy both. He found that his heavy "engagements" at I)ot:easter interfered with his other engagements at Downing street, and that, to do ►imself and his bipeds justice, he mast relieve himself of theatre of his quadrupeds. There stall was a lurking suspicion, however, in many a mind that the whole would tarn out to be but a dodge after aIL From his schoolboy days Lord DOlliT has loved • dodge; and nobody that he. had the means of closely observing the man in any relation of life sea doubt the net with which he conceives and execute, a feat of this description. Well, it seems that those who pat this constnu tioe upon the Palates's intentions wen in the right, and that has foerfooted stag is sot to he broken ap after all. The sham sale sate of sa Saturday last. and was well attended by ail deem of runtimes. The whole contents of the stshiss were trotted oat—fillies and four-year-olds, breed mane and sires, colts in training, and celebrities of promise or performance. We are told that the entire stud excited general remark as being in mad admirable condition. Mr. TATTRRIIILL presided Oa the accession, and in many instances there was no slackness in bidding. Like the employer whom ea this occasion he served, he wisely began by getting lid of as much se he could of outstanding responsi bility. A filly and colt, each of them having " heavy " engagements," as they are termed, were suffered to go, the one for three and the other far seven hundred guineas. This done, the best of the other yearling., in spite of various good offer'', were one after another bought in. Then came the lots "in teeming." The public by this time appear to have rather got out of temper, and seemed disinclined to be made fools of by being drawn into useless bidding*. Birdbolt, and Woodnymph, sad Boomerang were successively walked round the silky ring, and walked off, no man desiring to have them; but as in the preceding class two were put ap with the intention of selling; and sold they were se oordingly. Was it caprioe,or an ominous sense of the unsuitableness of their names, that made their master part with them ? Did he think it might be unlucky if he were as Prime Minister to est up his " Target" again for all the world to run against ? Or did some sompunctions visiting. and disagreeable memories of other days prompt him to try and get quit of Mutineer, that he so often had backed to win, and whose wayward eye had often gazed fondly into his own ? As be wee to go, however, there could be no harm in taking the lest turn out of him, sad • gentleman wee found enterprising enough to in vest four hundred and fifty guineas in the discarded ems. We come now to mums better and longer kmown. Antiquary, said to have cost eight ban died guineas not very long agm when Lord DERBY was still a Conservative, his lordship would not hap sow at any pries, and he was accordingly noerificed for twomid-tweuty. Like the venerable in- stitutions of oar country-oring, going, gone. Next noose Streamer, said to be " • riarier," whom nobody wished to poisess at a high pries, and who quickly vanished to make way for the awe great attractiows of the scene. Who has not heard of that favourite failure, " Tolophilits " ? Aid who that has ever son him would not like to be the owner of " wee,"? Far be it from us to undertake the duty of appraising either; still further be it from as to affect the: power of divining the Pommies motives for saying that he wished to part with either of them. We are journalists, not jockeys; and our 1 bueisese is to give an account of events that concern the community at large, not to peep into betting books or to pry into foreign affairs. All we know is, that it looks uncommonly like is if Lord DERBY never intended to sell the well-known racer or still more celebrated sire. Two thousand five hundred guinea' was bid for " Toxophilite " on Saturday last ; the reserve price was declared not to have been reached, and the pet of the field was accord ingly bought in. Thirteen hundred guineas was bid for Fazzoletto, and he was bought in by a friend of Lord DERBY'S for fifteen hundred; the would-be purchaser offered to take him at th►t price, bat was informed that the reserve set upon him was two thousand. It is a curious little chapter in the biography of a fancy PRIMIER. To give his sedate and methodical rivals a fright, and make them believe he is going to do nothing in future but mind affairs of the State, he makes known his intention of selling his horses, and now they find that he has only been selling " them." After tiring them out with all manner of rollicking and irregular round games, with forfeits unpaid, laughter unlimited, and something too much of confusion, he challenges them to a quiet rubber of strict whist, and then revokes is the first round. Finding them not disposed to give him the credit he counted on for throwing over his party principles, he thought he would like to hear what they would say if he offered to throw his personal pastimes in ; perhaps the offer did not meet the appreciation it ought, but certain it is that the sacrifice has not been made. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1858. report, and dictates to the manudcmtma of AM/1101 the avowal of their inferiority. . . . We mad, of comas, say • great deal as to the impossibility urged by the mean factories at the north, of oomrting with Inland, under a system which should substitute simple final or protective duties far that beloved prohibition, the object of heart wor ship to thin privileged men. There are, in fact, two modes of wondering this overwhelming manufacturing superiority of England. The first is in its relations to other countries ; the second, in its relations to our ow a. It is not France alone that is menaced by English competition, and which would be obliged to struggle with her after the withdrawal of prohibitions. This hypothesis is. reetity in the cans of the suns of the German Zollverein, of Belgium, and of Switzer land. No . " these countries are daily increming their pro drunicoo,i e .pite of British rivalry; and although their good' are only protected by very moderate duties, more particularly as regards Switzerland. Come, gentlemen of ADI4IOII I you are very humble, and you make yourselves out to be very little; but you will have to become humbler end smeller still. When you announce that prohibition is for you a question of life or death, you make yourselves out interne, not only to England, bat to the Bel gians, the Germans, and the Swias—ln • word to all the world. So, alter half a century and more of protection, prohibition, and privileges, you can do nothing better than place yourselves in the last rank of the manu facturers of the isms category, a:d admit yourselves to have been Purpose* not only by the English, the first in point of date, bat by Mom who entered the lists after you. Thu is truly an overwhelming fact for you, and for the system you so boast of. But no; you are too modest, and we shall peon it by two undeniable facts. And fleet, in the markets of Algeria, wham your goods °toy enjoy a protection of 10 per cent., not only have you not been overwhelmed by English competition, but it has given way to you, its importation being ineigniticent as compared with yours. la Paris, even, where prohibition keeps oat r'l articles similar to your own, there is something analogore in the matter of English oaten threads. You urge your small capital, your want of energy, your eagerness to quit business as ens as you have realised fortunes, and your ez °wive timidity compared with the boldness of English speculation. We believe you on your own swura•ce, toot the matter duly °maidens', gentlemen, if those are aufficisen reasons fur asking the protection of our customs ligislation, they are not so far keeping up the absolute monopoly to which you have grown accustomed. You parade the different causes of inferiority which give yor - adversaries the advantage over you. We will admit them to be folly proved, and my each one of these cants may be conapanamed, and valued in ready cash. We a ill try and make out the account. For the insufficiency and the dearness of the rspital embarked, we will say 6 per amt. We will put at 5 par nat. yore want of =orgy and of industrial aptitude. We will say another 45 per cent. far want of courage, and as much for that retro grade Knit which keeps you in the rear of a'l progress. In addition to all this, we will put 5, or if you please, 6 per cont. for frostier duties on the raw material. We thus reach • tonal of 25 or 26 per cent., which we consider ought ta eampaeat• amply for all the omen of ink nii4 by which you strengthen yourselves, t t enable you to remain for ever in that situation which monopoly has mated for you, and which is so satisfactory to your idleness, and to live and die in final impenitence. But, gentlemen, in Ileaven's name rest satisfied with them enormous advantages, and give up the ridiculous farce you are playing beton ete *yes of meta, in maintaining that if protection oe with drawn from you, nevitable destruction awaits you. The difference of the sums to be paid by China to England and France is thus explained at the Foreign-office here. The indemnity for the expense of the war is the same in each case, but England receives an additional sum to compensate for the in juries suffered by British subjects. Some remarks in the Isdepesdasai Bodge of this day gave rise to strong comments, to which it is thus sought to reply. There were considerable fluctuations on the Bourse to-day, and although it opened firmly, the reponse des petite. primes in the lest hour caused a decided reaction, and brought the Rents down from 73fr. 10c. to 79fr. 85c., or lower. All Spanish secu rities were in demand, and foreign railways, espe cially the Lombard, were much sought for.

PARIS, lionnAy Ilerstiro. I yesterday sent you the reply of Prince Nap)leon to the request of the Council-General of the Remit that he should visit Cette. sraursnos, that " the question of comm.-cis: freedom is one of those which excites the peculiar sympathy" of the prince charged with administration of the affairs of Algeria and the other colonies of France, stands out in strange and startling contrrit with the announce .. meat which headed the non-official columns of yesterday's Moniteur, " that it has never entered into the thoughts of the government to alter the Custom-hoose regulations which ex;st in Algeria, and which regulate its connex:on with France." This announcement is certainly not calculated to satisfy public opinion is to the new colonial administration. That the prince has strongly urged a modification of the Algerian tariff there is no doubt; and it is highly probable that the Emperor, whoa, views on the free-trade question are no secret, encouraged the idea; but that sober-minded, prac tical men ever indulged a belief that modifications worth naming would be introduced, I cannot imagine. The plain truth is, that the great body of the manufacturers are violently opposed to the slightest change ; and the free-trade question re mains in France just what it did half a dozen years ago. In saying th;‘, I am speaking the opinion of ardent well-wisher to the cause, who, at the same time, view facts as they are, not as they ought to be. People in England may talk as they will about the strong will of the Emperor, and the absence of pub lic opinion in this country. The truth is, the system adopted here is calculated leas to coerce public feeling than to anticipate and adroitly prevent its expression. The wine-growers of Len ges& and the shipowners of Provence may pass free-trade resolutions till they have exhausted the resources of the French language in the attempt to cloths their principles in Mime at once forcible and inoffensive. They are prosperous, and wish to become more prosperous still—an object they believe they will attain under free trade. But the iron masters and the owners of rickety antiquities called spinning -machines in the north, oppose the southern free-trade notions with the solid argu ment that their ruin—which they believe to be synonymous with the withdrawal of protec tion—will necessitate the turning loose upon the country of numerous thousands of starving work men. This is the silent threat perpetually held out to the government; and we have only to look back to the difficulties through which we our selves fought, inch by inch, the battle of commercial freedom, to admit that, however strong the con victions of the head of the state, a serener political atmosphere than we now find here is essential to the venturing upon so great an experiment. And now, having been led, in the conaideration of this question, from the Algerian colony to Francs in general, I wish to draw the attention of your readers to a remarkable article which appeared in the Gazette de France of Saturday lest. There are journals here in whose columns no pro position is too absurd, no paradox too monstrous, no insinuation too malevolent to find a place, when England is the object against which they are di rected. The Gazette d& France of Saturday, then, pub lished a letter purporting to be from one Elm* Bonard, and headed " Amiens and Manchester." It was suggested by the article which appeared a short time ago in the Tines on the sub ject of the comparative success of English and French manufacturers—an article described by the writer as " d'one ontrecuidanoe rc- marquable." It is not with the view of giving an unmerited importanoe to this letter that I notice it, but in the belief that your readers will not fail to derive from it amusement whit& the swaggering prohibitionist certainly did not intend to afford them. He observes that " the article in question attacks not only Amiens, which is the city of my adoption, but all Frenchmen, whom it taxes with incapacity, which is not adroit, just after visiting Cherbourg!" He affects to attribute remarks based upon dry statistical facts to the fury with which the comple tion of the Cherbourg fortificadons has filled sa organ of English public opinion ; as it a strong fellow, who has just been thrown in wrestling, should seek to vent his ill-humour upou the first small boy he meets. The question of the fifty per cent, which protection costs the con ' seas al Amiens cotton velvets, he meets with a is rare. Amiens no more pretends to rival Manchester, than do the London silk menufaettirers than of Lyon.. But in spite of fifty per cent., he says, the Spaniards and Italians prefer the Amiens cotton velvets to those of Manchester. If Amiens be the city of his adoption, this writer is a somewhat undutiful son, for he actually supposes the eventuality of Amiens ceasing to prods°, cotton velvet. And what then ? Why, " France would be none the worse " (to which we may readily assent), and " would continue, as heretofore, to give lessons in strength and address to more than one rhodomontader." But, on the other hand, he tells as that if Manchester be once ruined the annihilation of England follows as a matter of course. He then proceeds to send into our rigging and hull a succession of shots de omni bus rebus se quibusdam aliis. " The French, what- ever their character in other respects, do not die of hunger like the Irish and Scotch. They are not forced to live by making war upon every Power in order to get rid of (placer) their in dustrial produce. They do not emigrate by million' in order to gain a distant livelihood. If England has coal mines, she makes a profit by them—so much the better herself ; but France has a far more fertile territory than England, and pro duces a variety of things which England never can."

As coming from the real Manchester of France, it forms an admirable com ineutary upon the foregoing letter. Let your readers judge for themselves : We begin by readeriog n well-merited homage to the pro !Quad Cbristasa humaaity ishiat raps throughout this HOLLAND. The session of the Btates•Genenl was opened by the King iu person, at the Hague, on the 20th inst. His Majesty was aooompanied by the Prince of Orange. His Majesty spoke u follows : GsstJsslsq This solemnity has to-day • higher siguifioati n for me then nesal. Beholding my beloved son at my side while opening the flfates-General, my heart overflows with grati tude towards God, who has deigned to preserve his days, develops his faculties, and bless his youth in so tansy respects. . . . The nation, represented by you, gentlemen, celebrated with euthanasia the day upon which anew Prince of Orange entered oft his political caner. The expreadons of attachment to my house which were manifested an that occasion amassed my endeavours to de vote all my energies to the welfare of the country, for the Impulses of w►ich my ancestors lived, sad for which many shed their blood. The constant 'Motion of my government has been the development of the Ices enjoyment of the benefits of civili sation and of peace.

At the same time that the exchange of intellectual pro duce with a nelghbowing state has been settled by • raceme convatioe, ray government continues its efforts to remove gradually the barriers to commerce in our Indian poems eons, and the Empire of Japan has been rendered accessible to general commerce. Nevertheless the safety of the country renders neemeery the maintenance of a sufficient military force for its defence. I can give you the sisarance that my army and navy continue to show themselves deserving of my solicitude. The public revenue flourishes under the blessing of Heaven and the tranquility of pesos. The financial crisis, whirl a few months dace threatened commerce and in &nary, wee happily of short duration. The harvest premises to be mere abundant even than was expected.

In reference to the question of the Regency, now pending, I have now to state that the most delicate part of the negotiations are satisfactorily settled be tween the Queen and the Prince of Prussia; that the former withdraws her pretensions to the Re gency, and that the latter is to assume the title of co-Regent, bat with unlimited powers, and per fectly independent in his regal capacity. As he thus obtains in reality:the supreme power without having his bands tied iu any way, he thought it advisable no longer to stickle for the little prefix " co," but to make this concession to the Queen, who attaches great importance to it, as she apprehends that were he to sesame the title of Regent, or Prince Regent, the Bing, though still alive, would be soon completely forgotten. The principal mediators between the two exalted personages are Baron von Manteuffel, the prime minister, and the nonagenarian, Baron Alexander von Humboldt It is quite true that the Chambers are to be con voked in October, not for a permanent session or the transaction of general business, but merely to receive the official notification of the final settlement of the Regency question. It is however not correct, as stated by some of the German newspapers, that they will be called upon to pass a vote or even express an opinion on the subject, but merely to receive it as unfelt accompli. This is obviously not required by the constitution, which only provides for the case of a Regency, but nothing is said of a Mit-Regent schaft, or co-Regency,which will now be the form of government selected. By this means also the Prince of Prussia will be relieved of the necessity of for mally acknowledging in any way the existence of the constitution. SWITZERLAND. The following private telegram has been re ceived : " BERNE, SEPT. 17. " The Federal Council calls the attention of the Chambers of Commerce to the opening of the Chinese ports, and recommends them to make proposals in the interest of Swiss commerce." RUSSIA. The Emperor and Empress of Russia arrived at Moscow on the 6th inst. An Imperial rescript, dated from Minnow, confers upon General Mouravieff, Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, the dignity of Count of the Empire, with the title of Amourekii, as an acknowledgment of the services rendered by the general. who nego tiated the recent treaty with China, and to whom, according to the terms of the rescript, Siberia owcs the commencement of her civil regeneration. RESTORATION OF THE OLYMPIAN GAMES IN GREECE.

'FHB LIVRHPOOL BOROUGH BANK.—In a "leader" is the Lieergoel Daly Awe of yesterday (Monday), it was stated that a number of lb . skareboldere of the Liverpool Borough Bank held a megrim as dater ay, at which It was resolved that the Creators should be rotpmeted to allow as accountant employed by the shareholders to go through the books prior to the last lacrosse of capital, and if this was refused, that an opplicarlos should be made for an ht junctino to compel them. Up to yesterday, the official liquidators and the Bank officlals had no Intimation that say such meeting had been held. THE UNITED STATES. (71011 WI OWN NEW YORK, Sam 7. There was a slaver captured a week ago off the coast of Cuba, when on the point of landing a cargo of three hundred negroes, by the Coiled States brig Dolphin. The negroes were landed at Charleston, South Carolina, and placed in the custody of the United States Marshal, who confined them in a fort. They had hardly arrived when the Virginia and South Carolina papers began to suggest the pro. priety of offering them for sale by auction or other wise, so that instead of being returned to barbarism and misery in their native country, they might be, in a state of Christian slavery, civilised and educated, and "brought into the way of life." This was fol lowed up by a number of the citizens of Charleston waiting on the sheriff of that place, and bringing to his official cognisance the fact that a number of fine negroes had been introduced within the limits of the State in contravention of the law, and calling upon him to do his duty in the premises by seizing them. The sheriff, however, took the precaution to ask the opinion of the State Attorney-General, who decided that he had no claim upon the Africans whatever, that they were not within the limits of the State, inasmuch as they were confined in a fort belonging to the United States, and that, moreover, they were not " free pogrom' , within the meaning of the act; whereupon the sheriff desisted from any further proceedings in the matter, but not until he had formally demanded them of the United States Marshal and been refused. We were all waiting here at the North with some anxiety for the issue of the affair ; as many people were of opi nion that this opportunity would be seized of virtually reopening the slave trade with the connivance of the federal government. All that the latter had to do, was to oppose a feeble resistance to the State claims, allow the negroes to be disposed of, and then the test was very simple! The slavers would hover off the American coast, throw themselves in the way of United States cruisers, submit to capture, be carried into a southern port, have the slaves disposed of by the State authorities for the benefit of the owners, and the captain and crew would of course be duly acquitted by a South Carolina jury. However, it turns oat that Administration is for the nonce deter m,ned to obey the law. The Niagara is under orders to take the unfortunates back to the place from whence they came, and so the matter will end, much, no doubt, to the dissatisfac tion of many of the extreme politicians, both at the North and at the South. The former would have been very glad to have had the Administration commit itself to the slave trade, es it would have fur nished the Republicans with a tremendous weapon in the next election " campaign ;" and the latter are too eager for the accomplishment of anything which tends to strengthen the institution, or to extend it, to care much about any other consequences. The com ments of the Southern papers upon the subject, how ever, exemplify in rather an amusing manner the prevalent tone of feeling about it south of Mason and Dixon's line—there is a sort of barbarian sim plicity about the way in which they urge the duty of evangelising the poor captives by making slaves of them for life. The Atlantic Telegraph here in New York is for the present almost forgotten in the excitement which prevails about the recent burning of the Quarantine buildings sod the exposure of the sick at Staten Island, to which I alluded in my last letter. The public indignation against the perpetrators of the outrage has reached boiling point; a large force of armed police has been sent to the spot; temporary shelter for the sick has been erected, and there is rumour to-day that the governor is about to declare the island in a state of insurrection, and call out the militia. Whatever palliation there may be for riot, in shape of danger from infection or injury to pro perty, the affair has inspired great uneasiness amongst a large portion of the thinking public, with regard to the future of the state as well as of the country at large. Factions resistance to the law, or factious supplementing of the law, are now no longer confined to new disorderly communities like California. Last year, in this very city, the mayor refused obedience to an act of the legislature de clared constitutional by a judgment of the Supreme _ . Court, and employed the police force in aiding him in resisting an arrest by the sheriff'. During the spring of this year New Orleans was seized and held for several days by an armed mob, under pretence of reforming the municipal administration. Now, a large body of respectable men rise in the night and deliberately destroy, under circumstances of great atrocity, a public institution, legally esta blished, for no better reason than Its being, in their opinion, injurious to the health and property of per sons residing in its neighbourhood. It is quite ob vious that if the practice were to grow up of effect ing praiseworthy objects vi et arnsia, the practice of effecting iniquitous ones would soon follow. If vi gilance committees are resorted to by honest men as a means of accomplishing that which they are unable to accomplieh any other way, the rogue will soon learn to make use of the same expedients, and we should see vigilance committees formed every year to oppose the law as well as to enforce it. In any other country occurrences like these would be the beginning of the end; but here,sach is the resas citating power of public opinion that the mischief must be very grave indeed which is not remediable. The campaign in Illinois continues with unabated vigour. Douglas is assailed by two formidable stump orators actually in the field, Lincoln and Trumbull, and the Washington Union, the organ of the government, devotes nearly a coltima a day to abusing him and warning the dr mocracy to leave hint to his fate. It is supposed that the main secret of Bachanan's implacable hostility to him is to be found in the fact that he sees in Douglas a possible rival for the next presidency; but the ways of rulers, and, above all, of partisans, are mysterioes—os who knows ? The rival candidates in the West generally " stump the State," as it is called, and travel round and canvass together, often in the same vehicle, and address the same meetings, and share all the ex penes.. The reason is, that in thinly peopled die uiets it would be impossible to get the inhabitants to attend many meetings, or make frequent loaf journeys. At each meeting the possible members address the crowd alternately, who hugely enjoy the sparring and abase which usually takes place. The hitting between Douglas and his antagonists has been unusually hard, and so far the Little Giant has un doubtedly had the worst of it ; so much so that he has already been driven into espousing &boat fight ing one of his antagonists. Trumbull has plumply charged him with having conspired to fora , a canal tution on the people of Kansas against their will so early as June, 18&8, and declares that Douglas's " glorious stand" of last year was made nodes the influence of the terror inspired by the Fremont vote lin the autumn of the same year. A bill was intro duced for the admission of Kansas, one clause of which provided for the ratification of the cattail:a tion by the people. A committee of the Senate, of which Donees was chairman, struck this clause oat, and Douglas himself reported the bill without it. This is " a crusher;" and, though it has been before the world for some weeks, Douglas has not met it. The weather is delightful, and town is filling fist.,
