(Frederick here being beat off), but it was not till they had passed the distance-post that Chifney made his push for the race , he then went by Chitilde, Felt, and Sir Hercules in succession, and at the Grand Stand was up with Rowton. A severe race borne terminated in favour of Rowton by a clear neck, amidst deafening acclamations.

Losers will always have some reason for their favourites not winnirg ; accordingly we hod many of Voltaire's backers attributing his defeat to Chifney's bad rid ing. They say he waited too long, and that if had made play sooner he would have won • it appears to us, however, that Vol taire, like most of the 111cklock breed, bad more speed than strength, and that making play sooner would have rendered his defeat more certain, .and that he never could have lasted with Rowton, who is a horse of infinitely greater bottom, and of a sort that can run on. This is the third year in succession that Mr. Petre has won these Stakes, and, with the exception of the late Lord A. Hamilton, is the only Gentleman who has had such extraordinary good fortune. Moreover, he has a remark ably fine lot (winners) for next year's race. The value of the Stakes is two thousand four hundred and twenty-five pounds.

That by the law for returning to a metallic currency this eighty millions is augmented to nearly double that sum, by reducing the price of our various products—so that the farmer has to pay two bushels of corn instead of one; and the manufacturers two or three, or even four pieces, instead of one ; while the incomes of ail those who live out of the taxes remain the same as before the pass ing of the said Act, whether they be fundholder4, placemen, pen sioners, or sinecurisu.

On Monday afternoon a Meeting of the Friends of Radical Reform was held in the Union Rooms, Oldham, to take into consideration the primary cause of the present distress, and to determine on the propriety of corresponding with the S ociety in London, for the purpose of obtaining a Reform in the Com mons House of Parliament. The Meeting was called for two o'clock, and shortly after that hour the room was completely crowded, notwithstanding the rent of one penny exacted from each at the door, towards defraying the ezpentes. Mr. John Knight, an 'old and tried radical, was called to the Chair, and shortly addressed the Meeting, pointing out to them the object foriwhich they had been called together.—A person of the name of Camperdown followed, and gave some account of the present distress, which he described as being more general and greater than in any country he had ever been in, though he had travelled in many. The great cause of the distress he declared to be the immense load of taxation, amounting, in one year, to more than all the wealth of Germany. Other causes were, the unequal distribution of property, the immense expense of the Church Establishment, and Absenteeism. No. good, he said, could be done until the taxes were reduced, the Church Establishment reduced, the rich compelled to spend their revenues in this coun try, and the hordes of Irish, who are fast reducing the English to their own miserable condition, were prevented from crossing the channel.—Mr. Fillon (of Royton) next addressed the Meet ing at great length. He expressed his opinion that the pre sent distress was greater than at any former period, and he pointed to the number of bankruptcies, insolvencies, and coal positions of the last four months, as a melancholy proof of the correctness of his opinion. The causes of the distress, he said, were excessive taxation, the iniquitous Corn Laws, and the raising of the value of the currency without a corresponding reduction in taxes. These causes could never be removed without a Reform in Parliament. He was not very sanguine that reform would soon be granted ; but he considered it his duty to do all in his power to effect that desirable object. The present state of things could nut last long, and perhaps the Government would find it expedient to yield to circumstances. That staunch Tory, Mr. Peel, had seen the necessity of granting Catholic Emancipation, and it was not impossible that he might see the necessity of a Reform in Parliament before many months. The next speaker (a shopkeeper whose name we could not learn) said if the petitions of 1817-19 had been listened to, the present distress would have been avoided. He blamed the manufacturers for nut coming forward to advocate Parliamentary Reform, and for discouraging the labouring classes in their endeavours to cb. rain it. He confessed he had little expectation of a peaceable radical reform, but he was well aware that nothing but that and a auhsequent " Equitable Adjustment" could prevent a blowing up Of the present system. The speaker then went on to show the progress of taxation, and the manner in which a paper currency raised the value of commodities, and how the withdrawal of the paper unhinged all contracts. His wish was that the labouring classes should have a fair remuneration for their labour, and this they would have only if a reform were to take place.—Several other speakers addressed the Meeting in the same strain ; and about seven o'clock the Niceties separated. The following are the Resolutions that were passed : " I. That poverty and want of the common necessaries of life are now more deeply and extensively felt than at any former pe riod of time, although we have already had more than ten years of an uninterrupted peace; and that this fact is proved by the vast arrears of rent, by the insolieacies which constantly take place, and by the vast increase of pauperism and crime. "2. That these insolvencies have, in a great measure, been caused by the stoppage of small notes, which has produced a rapid decline in the price of all our manufactured articles. This has caused a want of employment, and a great reduction in the wages paid for labour ; and it is a fact, that during a period in which provisions have advanced in price, a numerous class of workmen have actually lost more than three-fourths of their former wages. " 3. That it appears to this Sleeting that the greatest cause of the national distress is to be found in the very partial, defective, and unconstitutional state of the representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament. " 4. That through the nominees of Peers, Noblemen, and other rich individuals, as also persons who have purchased their seats, together with those returned from decayed and rotten boroughs, sitting and voting in the Commons House, the people have lost their !matron' in the management of the national affairs; and their power in legislation is thus become a nullity. instead of being a safeguard for their lives, their liberties, and their property. " 5. -That some of the traits of such representation have been to plunge the nation into unnecessary, expensive, and therefore wicked wars, which, after shedding rivers of blo o d, have en . ailed upon posterity nearly a thousand millions of debt, converted an in dustrious and happy people into a nation of paupers, Mimi the land with criminals and prisons, beggars and workhouses, rendering soldiers and police officers innumerable necessary for the preserve don of such a system; so that if it be not speedily amended by en effectual reform in the Commons House of Parliament, we may expect to see some dreadful and overwhelming catastrophe. " 6. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the Commons House, as at present constituted, wants both talent and an identity of inte- rest with the people ; hence have arisen schemes of entigration for sending away the producers of every thing really valuable ; hence debates abOut over-population, over-production, transition, revul sion, fcc. henceAaws to make food dear and labour cheap Offence . nibbling. at the poor laws and enlargements of the gamelawr hence, too, the not being able to muster a House when dart's-. tional or people's distress is to be the subject of discussion ; hence , estimating the national prosperity by the amount of taxes wrung At an early hour this morning the bustle in the streets suffi ciently testified the interest which the Great St. Leger excited in all ranks. At twelve o'clock there were several thousand congre gated in the main street, the great point of attraction being the betting-rooms, which were so full that many were unable to gain admittance; about half an hour after a movement was visible, and at this moment nothing could be more animated. The principal Nobility began to arrive about this time, several of them in state ; the most dashing equipages were those belonging to Lord Fitzwil- Hans, the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Chesterfield (two sets), Lord Harewnod, Mr. Petro., Ste.

From the Messager des Chambres of Monday. SECOND EDITION. PARIS, Sm. 14. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Aug. 30. Letters written from Sophia, by persons worthy of credit, inform us that the Russian army has left Adrianople; that one column bas taken the road to Fery, near the Gulf of Enos; but that the main body of the army marches towards Constantinople. It is sup posed that the troops tent on the road co Fery are destined to form a junction with the Russian squadron stationed off the Dar danelles. This mansuvre greatly alarms the inhabitants of So phia. It is certain that the appearance of the Russian troops on the coasts of the Archipelago greatly endangers the castles of the Dardanelles, and that a fermentation may manifest itself in the capital when the news of this two-fold threatening approach of the enemy should be known there. But if the people revolt, the life of the Sultan, en which the fate of the Empire depends, wilt undoubtedly be la the greatest danger. The rapidity of the ope ration' of General Dlebitsets evidently proves that he distrusts the good faith of the Turkish Government, and that he intends to com pel it to make peace as soon as possible ; fur atter all the attempts at negociation on the part of the Turks, and the fatigue his army has undergone, he must himself be desirous to give bis troops repose. The Turks of Belgrade are discouraged since the last news re ceived from the theatre of war ; while, on the other hand, the Greeks and the Servians can hardly conceal their joy. A mer chant at Constantinople has just written to his factor here to keep till farther orders the goods which he had bespoke. It is through the same channel that we learn that the Prussian General, -Muf fling, bad prepared to quiz the capital, after having delivered a note to the Turkish Government. M. Von Zuylen, the Ambassador of the Netherlands, Is said to have already left the capital. From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday. PARIS, Sere. 14. _ _ Letters from Constantinople of the 20th add nothing to the news of the 17th. Tranquillity prevailed in the city. It is believed that General Diebitsch has already occupied the Dardanelles, and that be is endeavouring to make himself muter of all the points of communication by which the capital is supplied with provisions. Admiral Malcolm's squadron bad quitted Ipsara. and was at Vourla on the 25th. It was firmly believed that the negotiations for peace will have a happy result. We were led into a mistake yesterday by our correspondent, respecting the contents of the Austria* 06seruue► of the .:th. The fallowing is the article, as we read it this morning : " According to the news front Constantinople of 17th August. the Porte, adhering to the principal articles of the Treaty of the 6th of July, and having been induced to this step by the united representations of the Ambassadors of England, France, Austria, and Prussia, has given orders to the Grand Vizier to send Pleat potentiaries to General Diebitsch, for the purpose of opening . without delay, negotiations for peace." Tuffs news, therefore, is precisely the same as that we gave .. week ago. a a .
