The country markets, held on Saturday, were fairly sup plied with wheat, in which, however, the transactions were comparatively trifling, at slightly reduced rates. Barley and most other articles were a dull sale, and rather lower to purchase. Throughout the Continent, wheat has moved off some what freely, an - I prices have had an upward tendency. All Spring corn has changed hands steadily, chiefly on English account. In the United States, wheat and flour have met a dull inquiry. The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, were only moderate. The imports from abroad were large, viz, 34,385 quarters of wheat, 15,142 barley, 37,475 oats, 515 beans, 514 peas, 20 tares, 1,520 rapeseed, 40 sun dry seeds, and 1,141 sacks of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day, in but middling condition. Notwithstanding that the show of samples was small the demand for both red and white qualities, owing chiefly to the large influx of foreign produce, wag in a sluggish state, and sales progressed slowly, at about last Monday's quota tions. Millers, generally, purchased with extreme caution. Compared with Monday last there was was an inward supply of foreign wheat on offer. Importers, however, were somewhat firm in their demands, but the amount of business doing was very limited, at last week's currency. Floating cargoes were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. We have to report a heavy demand for barley, at a de cline in the quotations of is per quarter. Malt changed hands slowly at previous rates. We had a large show of oat samples, and the oat trade ruled somewhat heavy, at 6d per quarter decline. In beans—the supply of which was moderate —very little was doing at late rates. Peas were in moderate request, on former terms. The flour trade was by no means active, at the late im provement in the quotations. The top price of town made flour was 50s per 280 lbs.

There was rather an increased supply of foreign stock en offer in to-day's market, and amongst it were some very prime beasts from Spain. _ _ Compared with Monday last, the supply of home-fed beasts here this morning was moderately good, but the general quality of the stock was by no means first-rate. Most breeds moved off slowly, at about Thursday's decline in value. The best Scots and crosses, however, were worth 5s 43 per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2,500 Scots, crosses, and short horns—from other parts of England, 450 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 9 Scots. No supplies reached us from Ireland. The show of most kinds of sheep was on the increase. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at 6d per Blbs less money than on Monday last. The top quotation was 6s per Sibs. There was a moderate sale for lambs, at is to is Gd for Down, and Gs to Gs 3d for Dorset and Isle of Wight qua- lities. We had a good sale for calves on easier terms. The best veal sold at 5s Gd per 81bs. The pock Iraq° was heavy, at drooping currencies. Per Sibs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

The Naval History of ("real Britain, from the I Declaration of War by Prance, in 1793 to the Accession of George the Fourth. By William James. Bentley. The history of the British navy has been, and ever will be, a subject of considerable interest to the English people. But the general public know little or nothing of its early history, and, indeed, beyond the important victories of Nelson, Howe, and Jervis, they are equally ignorant of the events which took place at the end of the last and the be ginning of the present century. Mr. W. James has devoted much care and attention to the compilation of these volumes, and, indeed, he presents a re markable instance of that phenomenon—an impar tial historian. The most prejudiced adversary could not but admit that the work might have emanated from the pen of a Frenchman without causing him to blush for the honour of his country. While rendering a tribute to the fairness and ability of the author, we cannot but regret that he did not commence his history at an earlier date. The records of the Commonwealth are still extant, and there would have been no more difficulty iu collecting the incidents connected with England's first real navy, when under Raleigh, Drake, and Blake, England first claimed the proud title of Mistress of the Seas. Blake it was who first established the fact that wooden walls could con tend successfully with stone ones, and that it was quite possible to lay a ship alongside a fort and silence it. A complete naval history of those times is wanting, and Mr. W. James has shown, by the able manner in which the present work is got up, that he was eminently qualified for the undertaking. The non-professional reader will derive great as sistance from a glossary of sea-terms introduced at the commencement of the first volume, which will enable him to understand certain passages in which nautical language is unavoidably intro duced. Before entering upon the history the author has introduced a brief sketch of the progress and early history of the navy, the dimensions of ships, guns, &c. At the present day people complain of the com plication of official reports, and the difficulty experi enced in understanding them ; but how much must those in the fifteenth century have comprehended of their ordnance ? The gunners of those days must have had long heads to remember the names • of the various guns. The demi-cannon, without doubt, was the 32 -pounder of afterdays. The cannon-petro had, in the list of 1677, al ready changed its name to 21-pounder, and a 12-pounder (probably the ancient basilisk) also appears there. The whole-culverin and demi-eulverin became subsequently the 18, and the 9-pounder. The saker, or sacer, both from its c fibre and weight, was the 8l feet, 22 cwt. 6 pounder; as was the light saker, the modern gun of the same nature, measuring six feet, and weighing 17 cwt. The minion was the 4-pounder : what name the 3-pounder of 1677 had pre viously taken does not appear. The first British frigate on record seems tnhave been the Constant-Warwick, for which the coun try was not indebted to the Government, but then, as now, private enterprise took the lead in the ad vancement of science. The earl subsequently disposed of his frigate to the com monwealth, but not, as it would appear, until she had af forded decided proofs of her superiority of sailing. At what precise time the transfer took place is uncertain ; but the first list, in which the Constant-Warwick appears as a na tional ship, is one of 1652. There she classes as a fifth-rate of 28 guns. In another list of the same year, her guns are stated at 32 : a difference to be explained, perhaps, by one being the lowest, the other the highest, number of guns assigned to the ship in her new employ. The English were always fond of over •gunning their ves sels ; and it generally happened, when an English ship of war was taken by the French, that the latter, before they sent her forth as a cruiser, reduced, sometimes by a full sixth, the number of her guns. One instance may suffice. The Pembroke, when captured by the French, at the com mencement of the eighteenth century, mounted 61 guns , but, when recaptured shortly afterwards, had on board only 53 guns, and these as the whole of her establishment. An addition of six guns to the Constant-Warwick's on ginal number was, perhar, no improvement ; but what shall we say to an increase of 20, or, at all events, of 16 guns? Our suspicion that this had taken place was ex cited by seeing the name of the Constant-Warwick, as one of the six fourth-rate 42-gun ships, enumerated at No. 10 in the abstract of 1677. There .the ship, having her two bow-ports filled, carries 20, instead of the 18 demi-culverins on what is now, in truth, the first gun-deck; and, having her quarter-deck bulwark continued forward on each side to her stem, readily finds room for a second whole tier of guns. The number first mounted on this second deck was probably 20, the same as on the deck below. Afterwards, 18 were considered enough ; especially as the guns were not sakers, but demi-culverins, the same as on the first gun deck. The poop, by this new operation, and, perhaps, by a little extension forward, becomes the quarter-deck, and is armed, at first probably with six, but afterwards with four minions ; making 46 guns as the temporary, and 42 as the permanent, establishment of the ship. When to the increased weight of the guns their carriages and shot is added the weight of wood and iron, consumed as well in the barricade t 3 the second gun-deck as in strength ening the ship in every part, we may well give credit to a writer of 1665, who, in complaining that ships of the British navy are " over gunned," instances, among others, " the Constant-Warwick, from 26 gunns and an incomparable sayler, to 46 gunns and a slugg." The worst is, that the Constant-Warwick, although thus changed in her form and qualifications, although, from an " incomparable sayler," converted to a " slugg,' was allowed to retain her original appellation. So that, according to the loose accounts handed down to us, " the first frigate built in England," was an over-gunned, top-heavy, two-decker, instead of, as a little investigation now proves her to have been, a properly armed, snug one-decker. Here is an instance that bungling is natural to the British Board of Admiralty. They cannot now, and, it would seem, never could, do things right at first themselves, or, when the work was done for them, let well alone. In 1793 the first official abstracts of the strength of the navy were published ; but it would appear that but little correct information was to be derived from them, seeing that yachts, transports, and hoys were all entered as vessels of war, together with ships on the stocks, or proposed to be laid down. One instance may suffice. In January, 1796, a 120-gun ship, to be named the Caledonia (in lieu of a ship of 100 guns, ordered in November, 1794), was directed to be built, and appeared in Steel a few months afterwards ; but the ship was not laid down until January, 1805, nor launched until June, 1808. After all this, as it may well be called, paper- force has been added, the total at the foot of such periodical list is taken to denote, in an unrestricted sense, the numerical strength of the British navy. After narrating at some length the relative strength of the maritime Powers of Europe at the commence ment of the war, the author shows how America, by her enterprise, unscrupulous, conduct and ex pertness at concealing enemies property, proved a most effective friend to France, and consequently &sharper thorn:in the'side of England than if she had been at open war with her. We need not go far for an illustration of this fact in the present day—the conduct of Prussia during the late Russian war was too glaring to need comment. While France was convulsed by internal contentions her navy was not neglected ; and, as far as ships were concerned, she was equal in force at least with England. At no previous period had France possessed so powerful a navy as was now ready to second her efforts to humble, if not overthrow, her great maritime rival. It amounted altogether to about 250 vessels, of which 82 were of the line; and of these, nearly tkree-fourths were ready for sea, or in a serviceable state. Moreover, the French Government, shortly after the commencement of the war, in order to pro vide against those losses which, experience had shown, were likely to attend a contest with England, ordered to be laid on the stocks 71 ships, including 25 of the line ; and to be cast at the national foundries 3,100 pieces of sea service ordnance, including 400 brass 36-pounder car ronades, the first of the kind, as it would appear, forged in France. Among the French ships ordered to be built, were five to mount 100 guns, and eight frigates to carry 24-pounders on the main deck. Instead of the former, one ship to mount 130 guns. and be named Penple, was laid down; and, for the remaining four three-deckers, an equal number of 80s and 74s appear to have been substituted. Several of the old small-class 745, or such as carried 24-pounders only on the lower deck, instead of being repaired to serve.oagain in the line, or taken to pieces as unfit to serve at all, were cut down and concerted into the most formidable frigates that had hitherto been seen. It is uncertain what was the exact armament of these " vaisseaux. rases ;" but thay appear to have mounted 28 long 24-pounders on the main deck, 18 long 12-pounders, and four brass 36-pounder carronades, upon the quarter-deck and forecastle, making a total of 50 guns, with a complement of 500 mon. It is believed that the first ship so fitted was named Experiment. Seven others were, AgTicole, Brave, Brutus, Filibustier, Hercule, Robuete, and Setlvola. Not only were the French well provided with first class ships, but, owing to the mismanagement and favouritism of the British Admiralty, the equip ment of their ships was far superior to that of the English—a fact which was forcibly proved when a squadron, under Lord Ilowe ' gave chase to certain French ships, which carried in a very fresh wind and a heavy sea whole topsails and topgallant-sails, while double-reefed topsails and topgallant-sails were all that the British ships could stagger under; and with this reduced sail so ill found were they in spars and gear that the Russell sprang her foremast and the Defence lost her fore and main topmasts, and the enemy escaped. In proof of the impartiality of the writer the following tribute to the memory of a gallant French officer deserves notice. After de scribing a well-fought action between the Nymphe and Cleopatre, he relates : _ . Among the wounded were included the ship's three lieu tenants, and among her killed was the truly gallant Cap tain Mullon. A round shot had torn open his back and carried away the greater part of his left hip. It is re. lated that, having the list of coast-signals adopted by the French in one of his pockets, Captain Mullon, uring his short agonies, drew forth a paper, which he imnined was the right one (but which really was not), and died biting it to pieces. Here was a trait of heroism I And yet no French writer, as far as we can discover, has recorded the fact. In the description of the attack upon Toulon we find the following notice of Napoleon, then arising young officer, which shows the confidence he had in himself, and the contempt in which he held those about him : Napoleon Buonaparte was present in there attacks. The following anecdote of him is extracted from a French his torical work:—" Un jeune homme do vingt-trois ens flit jute capable et digne du commandement de l'artillerie ; on la lui cantle. Ce jeune homme avait nevi une education tout militaire, et l'on remarquait dej a qu'un amour ardent pour la gloire enflammait le genie de Buona parte. c'etait lui-meme. L'habilete et la hardiesse do ses dispositions se font remarquer. A I'attaque du fort Pharon, un commissaire de la convention critique et con damne la position d'une batterie. Buonaparte lui dit avec flerte : Melez-vous de votre metier de representant ; laissez moi faire le mien d'artilleur : cette batterie restera Id, et jo reponds du succa." The battery, it appears, did fully succeed, and Buonaparte received the applause of the generals present; shortly afterwards he was himself made a brigadier-general. _ _ As a book of reference this work may claim a place in every library. Every engagement which took place during the war, whether between fleets, squadrons, or single frigates, is nar rated with a quiet truthfulness which is deserving of the highest commendation, and it is satisfactory when comparing various incidents here related with the accounts given of the same transactions by those who were personally eugaged, to find that the discrepancies are so trivial as not to be worthy of notice. As an instance of this, we would refer our readers to the account here given of the attack on the French fleet in the Basque Roads, and that given by Lord Dundonald in his interesting " Autobiography of a Seaman." We will conclude our notice with the following narrative of the cap ture of a privateer by a packet-ship, which shows what daring and determination can effect On the Ist of December Lis Britannic Majesty's packet the Antelope, Captain Curtis, being of Cumberland har bour, in Cuba, on her way to England, from Port-Royal, Jamaica, which port she had quitted three days previous, fell in with two French schooner-privateers, of formidable appearance. The packet immediately bore up for Jamaica, and was followed, under all sail, by the privat eers . Th e Atalante, one of the two, outsailing her consort, continued the chase alone. During that and the follow ng day, un til 4 p.m., the packet rather gained upon her pursuer; but the wind suddenly failing, the latter took to her sweeps, and soon swept up alongside the Antelope. After the ex change of a few shots, the schooner sheered off. On the 2d, at 5 a.m., it still being calm, the Atalante again swept up, an 1, on reaching her opponent, grappled her on the starboard side. The privateer then poured in a broadside, and attempted, under cover of the smoke, to carry the An telope by boarding ; but the crew of the latter drove back the assailants with great slaughter. Among the sufferers by the privateers broadside, was the packet's commander, Mr. Curtis, who fell to rise no more; as did also the steward, and a French gentleman, a passen ger. The first-mate, too, was shot through the body, but survived. The second-mate having died of the fever soon after the packet had sailed from Port-Royal, the command now devolved upon Mr. Pasco, the boatswain, who, with the few brave men left, assisted by the passengers repulsed repeated attempts to board, made at intervals dur ing the long period that the vessels remained lashed together. At last, the privateersmen, finding they had caught a tartar, cut the grapplings, and attempted to sheer off. The boatswain, observing this, ran aloft, and lashed the schooner's square-sail yard to the Antelope's fore shrouds. Immediately a well-directed volley of small arms was poured into the privateer, and the crew called for quar ter. This, notwithstanding the Atalante had fought with the red or bloody flag at her mast-head, to indicate that no quarter would be shown by her, was granted, and possession was forthwith taken of the prize. The Antelope mounted six 3-pounders, and had sailed with 27 hands ; but she had lost four by the fever, and two wore ill in their hammocks, consequently the packet commenced the action with 21 men, exclusive of the pas sengers. Her total loss in the action was three killed and four wounded. The Atalante mounted eight 3-pounders ; and her complement was 65 men, composed of French, Americans, and Irish. Of these the first and second cap tains and 3d men were killed, and 17 officers and men wounded. The Atalante had been fitted out at Charleston, in the United States. The Antelope now carried her prize in triumph to Annotta Bay, Jamaica, where the two vessels arrived on the morning succeeding the action. The unparalleled bravery of one of the Antelope's passen gers, a M. Nodin, formerly a midshipman in the French navy, deserves to be recorded. It is related of this young man, that he stood by the helm and worked the ship, armed with a musket and a pike, which he alternately made use of: that, when he perceived the Atalante's men climbing the quarters of the Antelope, he quitted the helm, and with the pike despatched such as came within his reach, returh in,g at proper intervals to right the vessel ; that, with the pike and musket, he killed or disabled several men, and continued his astonishing exertions for upwards of an hour and a quarter. Domestic Memoirs of the Royal Family and (f the Courtr,of England, chiefly at Shene and Rich ni,ond. By Folkestone Williams, F.G.S., 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. Richmond and its environs have always been favourite localities for the ruminations of the anti quarian and archesologist. Its earlier traditions have the dignity of history, while the throng of literary notabilities of the eighteenth century who flitted about its neighbourhood, have invested it with especial interest in the eyes of readers of a later date. Mr. Folkestone Williams has rather selected the regal and courtly view of his subject than the literary aspect, and has evidently be stowed great pains and considerable industry in the prosecution . of his researches. He has treated it very fully, and haS enlivened his pages with numerous quotations. He carries back his observations to a date of respectable antiquity, commencing his first chapter with an account of the passage of the Thames by Csesar and the Roman Army. Some writers have asserted that the invaders forded the river near Walton, becaus? iron-headed stakes have there been found in the bed of the river. Mr. Wil liams, however, prefers the statement which fixes the passage in the direction of Kingston, and tells sis that in the Saxon period there was a ford there, which, by way of distinction, was called Morford— the great ford, and he thinks it likely that to this the Romans would have advanced. Great changes have taken place in the face of the country since that time, but with the exception of the transformation of the gloomy forests into pleasant woods, the Surrey hills bear few traces of the intervening centuries. Of the origin of the name of Kingston, he gives the following account :—" When Roman dominion ceased in Britain, the massive fortresses and beau tiful villas were severally razed. to the ground, or left to gradual interment under the rubbish heaped upon the site. Thamesa fared worse than many stations, because the very invaders were so tho roughly sensible of the beauty of the neighbour hood, that they established a settlement on the ruins, which grew into a town of such importance, that several of the Saxon kings were crowned there, and made it their ordinary residence. It was thence called Kyngeston, which name it has pre served." From the Roman epoch, Mr. Williams passes almost immediately to the reign of Edward 'IL, and gives a minute account of the architec tural arrangements of the king's manor house, at Shene, which he illustrates by numerous citations from the romancists and ballads of the day. The Court manners, costumes and armour, the ward robes, jewels and furniture, even the fashionable romances and court literature, are included in his description. After the death of Edward 111., which took place at Shene, we pass into the reign of his unfortunate successor. Richard 11., and his " Good Queen Anne," were fond of the locality, and during their lives a Royal palace was com pleted there. " Good Queen Anne," like her hus band's illustrious grandfather, also died at Shene, but these deaths did not deter subsequent sove reigns from making it a favourite place of [re sort. Henry V. restored the manor house, and founded three religious houses in the vicinity of Shene. In the second volume we come to the busy days of Bluff King Hal and Car dinal Wolsey—names inseparably connected with Hampton Court and its splendours. The Princess Mary and Edward VI. often resided at Richmond, and numerous anecdotes, incidents, and details are interwoven respecting this time. Queen Elizabeth is evidently a great favourite of the author's; but, despite her queenly qualities and un doubted capacity for government, we fear he will not be able to convince his readers of her claims to affection and respect as a woman as well as a ruler. Prince Henry, the eldest son of James 1., was long a resident at Richmond, and had formed a gallery of paintings there. During the Pro tectorate a Parliamentary survey was made of Richmond Court, and from this curious docu ment our author extracts the most remarkable portions. In speaking of these Parliamentary.pro ceedings he says :—" Most of the Crown lands changed hands ; some were preserved for th e Commnwealth, and Richmond New Park was settled upon the City of London, as an act of f avour from the house. The regalias were ordered t) be melted down, the jewels disposed of, th e s t atues and inscriptions to be demolished, and the pictures and furniture to be sold. This orde r was f e l t as a cruel blow in the neighbourhood of all th e R oya l palaces—particularly so at Richm on d, w h ere t h e loyalty of the inhabitants was to be punished by the dispersion of the treasures their Princes had there accumulated, and by the demolition of a , favourite resort of the Court. That magnificent I ma nsion, in which Hen r y th e Ei g h th had enter tained, right royally, imperial guests ; where Queen Elizabeth had loved 'to retire her virgin dignity from the pressure of affairs of State; the residence Prince Henry had adorned with the taste of a Francis and the munificence of a Medici—whose corridors had ',been familiar to the dignity of Wolsley, the wisdom of Burghley, and the gallantry of Sidney, Essex, and Raleigh— and whose presence chamber had been illumined by the beauties of a dozen successive generations, was to be explored in every part and all its fea tures noted in detail, preliminary to its being offered for sale to the best bidder." • The valuation, we are told, amounted to X 10,782,195. 2d. for the materials. " The property was sold in April 1650, to Thomas Rookesly, William Goodrick, and Adam Baynes, for themselves and other creditors of the late King, but was subsequently transferred to Sir Gregory Norton, one of his judges, a man but of mean fortune before these times, 'es it is said had Richmond Houseand much of the King's property for an inconsiderable value, only they were the price of royal blood, lie being one of the prince's judges and a Bumper to the last." After the Restoration many members of the Court were resident at Richmond and its neighbourhood. Coming down to the reigns of the Georges, we have full particulars of Queen Caroline's improvements at Richmond, Prince Fre derick's Court at Kew, the unpopularity of Princess Emily as Ranger of Richmond Park, the residence of George 111. and Queen Charlotte at Kew, and the record closes with a list of the celebrities who have frequented the White Lodge. Mr. Williams's work displays considerable research and labour, and will be very attractive to those of antiquarian tastes, although some readers may find it tedious from its length and from the absence of originality. Those who interest themselves in matters of topographical research and local anec dote, will not object to minuteness of detail, and those who reside in the neighbourhood should cer tainly secure these chronicles of - t'_e objects and associations of interest which surround them. MR. RAREY AT THE A ( 114...12T RA. The week of the Derby, during which" the Horse and his Rider" give the pervading tone and topic to English conversation, was very appropriately closed by Mr. Rarey's last public performance in London. On Saturday morning he gave his final "grand fashionable demonstration" at the Alham bra, in Leicester-square. The terms of the announce ment proved a truthful description. The attendance at this final demonstration was not only numerous, but composed, to a very perceptible degree, of the equestrian order of the metropolis. Rotten-row and the Ladies' Mile were fully represented on the well filled seats round the circle. The weather was most unpropitious, departing May—with more than the caprice of April—bringing an almost wintry storm of rain. It was heavy enough to have thinned a dozen concert rooms, but it had no deterring- influ ence on Mr. Rarey's admirers. This fact alone says much for the attractive character of his exhibition. It is no longer a novelty ; it is not addressed to the eye, as a spectacle ; it derives nothing from deco ration or ornament—more severely simple it could hardly be; there is no one feature of the circus, no touch of the arena, about ,it. This com plete reality of the whole ertibition is what renders it so attractive. Mr Rarey's run ning comments on the character of the horse, his genuine admiration of the " noble animal," and the invariable success of the practical illustrations of his main principle—that you have only to appeal to the equine intell to command its physical power—all chnbine to arrest the attention. lire are not sure butt the exhibition touches the conscience, if men were honest enough to confess it. . Mr. Rarey describes the horse as so intelligent, amiable, and virtuous generally that there were moments when we felt the injustice of calling and treating him as the inferior animal, and doubted whether, if the bulk of mankind could rise to Mr. Rarey's esti mate of the highly moral nature of the horse, the world would not be considerably the better for it. - We never before so well comprehended Swift's fearfully sarcastic picture of a society in which the horse is the intelligent bring and man is the brute. But, in the meantime, colts growing up under the demoralising influences of humanity are deve loped into horses full of all manner of vice ; and two most degenerate speciments of the race are in wait ing for Mr. Rare) to subdue. They are the " un governable animals, noted for vicious propensities," of the announcement. The first subject, introduced, however, has not fallen to such a depth of depra vity. It is simply a stout gray,-of quiet demeanour, not too well fed, apparently, and very imperfectly groomed. Mr. Rarey has no previous acquaintance with him—knows only that he is not particularly wicked, and has accepted his destiny as a horse, without any rebellious manifestations. The mere details of the modus operandi can be better shown at first on the' tamer disposition. The process of strapping the near leg was therefore completed without any difficulty ; but when the off one was dcublcd under Min also the quiet gray took ill, and showed not temper exactly but considerable cha racter. He plunged deliberately, made long kneel ing pauses, buried his nose in the straw, or turned his head round inquiringly, as if asking what, in the name of oats, he was expected to do ? "A good deal of self-will here," Mr. Rarey re marked, like a phrenologist examining a head. Finally, at his own time (rathera long one), the gray turned over on his side, as the easier position, and thenceforth was utterly indifferent to what was done to him. A contempt of the irregular and, in his case, unnecessary proceedings was evident : gra dually he was regarded by the spectators with something of the feeling excited by a too pacific bull in a Spanish ring, and dismissed to the stable. The second subject was of a more interesting de gree of viciousness—ay, two years old, of racing stock, slight and lithe 7? limb ; the wickedness of this filly consisted in passionate refusals to bear any badge of servitude beyond the bridle. Ordinary discipline had failed to reconcile her to the saddle ; and all who had mounted her she had flung. To correct this determination, fatal to racing prospects, she had been consigned to Mr. Rarey. We are not certain that this was her first lesson ; if so, its, suc cess was wonderful. The resistance was violent, but did not last long. She was sooner on her side and in a state of subjection than the gray ; slue was saddled and mounted and ridden—all with ease. And the quicker triumph over the more evil nature was greeted with loud applause. The interest of the exhibition deepened, on. a sound dramatic principle, in the last act. The third. subject was the finest, physically, and the worst, morally, of the day. A white Arab horse, of beau tiful proportions, plunged into the ring ; he was stoutly muzzled, and tasked the strength of two men to hold him in by long head-straps. He was the " frightful example" of the exhibition. Unless previously muzzled, no bridle could be placed on him; and we understood he had never been groomed. But he was a splendid creature in spite of his wick edness; nay, in some degree, because of it. After much plunging and rearing, the straps being cast off, Mr. Rarey was left to contend with the fiery A rab alone. Keeping close to his near shoulder, and never for a moment quitting his grasp of the bridle, held very short, Mr. Rarey was carried by the beau tiful demon round the ring, and across it, and back again ; it was warm work, plainly; but to be done. At a favourable moment the strap was passed over the hoof, fastened, and the Arab, shorn of half his strength,was conquered. There was a sharp struggle when the other leg was fettered. The horse stood almost upright, and fought tlaa air, in his rage, making the front seats rather - .nervous as he ap proached them. But he had nothing for it, except to lie down, like his predecessors—even like the tame gray—and submit to be sat upon, and strode over, and handled fearlessly. His muzzle was taken off, and he resented nothing. He looked up, saw it was Mr. Rarey, and renounced the conflict —as resigned as the 'coon that came down without troubling Colonel Crockett to fire ! The subsequent saddling, mounting, and drum beating, he took as matters of course, and the performance closed with his submission.
