THE ST. LEGER, The reporters do not agree about the St. Leger Day at Doncaster on Wednesday. Some of them describe the time as dull and heavy, others as exciting. It was a question very diversely answered, whether the number of people on the moor came up to, or fell below, the average attendance. Many old stagers declared that the ground was more widely crowded than ever. Others, equally accustomed to observe and judge, said it was not so ; and pointed to the corner where the throng has often been known to reach twice the distance to which it extended on Wednesday. Putting aside comparisons, it may be asserted that the multitude, whether larger than usual or not quite so large, was yet very large indeed. As many as ninety-three excursion trains brought thousands of persons from the populous towns of the north—from Sheffield, Halifax, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Not tingham, and many other seats of industry. About the weather it is remarked that the morning broke too brightly ; if the proverb be true, grey dawns are the best. But the air was pure and exhilarating, and ther-,,t was every prom:se of a fine St. Leger-day, but shortly after 11 o'clock the rain came down heavily and there were sad foibodings. However, after a smart pour down, the weather " lifted" for a time, anal alllookedserene. Perfume made very short work of the Bradgate Stakes, end then nineteen went to the post for the Corporation Plate. During a long delay at the post, there was a sharp shower, and once more everything looked very hopeless. however, it went off suddenly, and the crowd lurtily cheered the rainbow, as they emerged from under a per• feet penthouse of umbrellas into the sunshine once more. The Corporation Plate resulted in an easy win for a fine slashing horse, Barrier, who was not even coloured on the card ; and then the first bell rang fur the 04th St. Leger. THE DACE. At a few minutes before the time (3.30) for which the race was fixed the numbers of the eleven runners were announced, and, after some little delay, caused by the time that elnpsed before the Aliddleham trio emerged from the stubble Eeld behind the stand which does duty for the saddling inclosure, the preliminary canters were taken. George Osbaldeston, Starter, and Typhon were the first; they being succeeded by Dervcntio and Pretender. Pero Gomez, Drummer, and Conrad being next, with Lord Haw thorn, Duke of Beaufort, and Martyrdom in the rear. At exactly ten minutes to four o'clock Mr. M`George mar shalled them in order, and at the first attempt the signal was given to a most perfect start. Pero Gomez, occupy. ing the extreme left, and Conrad the right, were the first to break the evenness of the line by showing nearly a lengh in advance, but Wells took a steadier at his horse immediately as "Pero" was tearing away too freely to please him. Just as be did this Typhon rushed to the front, but Conrad's jockey, determined that the pace should be good to serve his stable companion, The Drummer, raised his whip, and his horse at once took the lead, still preserving a line to himself wide on the right. As they ascended the hill, Hudson, forcing Derventio along as Lard as he could, ran up to Typhon and Starter, and when a quarter of a mile had been traversed he was lying second to Conrad, who was still pegging away, and just in front of Count Batthyany's colt, the pair being clear of The Starter, while Pero Gomez, about three lengths dr, drew cut clear of the ruck, at the head of which lay The Drummer, Pretender, and George OsLaldeston, Martyrdom still. whipping-in. Just before disappearing behind the hill the pace, which had been excellent, was, if any thing, increased by Typhon racing up to Conrad, the pair drawing away nearly four lengths from Dcrventio and The Starter, Pero Gomez still Leading the others. On emerging into view again Derventio, completely pumped out, had disappeared from the forward position he had occupied, and was soon toiling on hopelessly in rear of everything, the remainder having taken much closer order, although their relative places were not materially altered. Typhon and Conrad remained in front side by side, but The Starter, Pero Gomez, and The Drummer were closely pressing them, Pretender, George Osbaldeston, and Duke of Beaufort in a cluster, being next, just in advance of Martyrdom. Approaching the rifle Butts the severity of the pace had told its tale upon the "piping" Conrad, who collapsed very suddenly, and soon joined Derventio in the rear. Here The Starter assumed the lead, closely followed by Typhon, The Drummer taking third place just in advance of George Osbaldeston, Pero Guru z, and Pretender. In this order they reached the Red House, and the moment they began ' the descent to the bend, the Kingsclere candidate ran tip on the insde, while Martyrdom simultanecusly rushed past his horses and took a prominent position on the right. The Starter, however, had a slight advantage until fairly rounding the bend, where Typhon was beaten, and Pero Gomez took up the running. The Drummer, who up to this point had been going very well, now suddenly disappeared, and his place was taken by George Osbaldeston, while the Middleham crack followed at the quarters of Sir Joseph Hawley's horse, but just when an opening presented itself and Osborne called upon him to take advantage of it, the Derby winner, floundering all over the ccuree wa. , beaten in an instant. For about two hundred yards Ge,e Osbaldeston appeared to hold his own with Pero Gomez, who, however, had always the lead, but it was soon evi dent t: at so far as this opponent was concerned the son of Beadsman had nothing to fear. Before reaching the inelosure, however, he found a mere dangerous opponent to dispose of in Martyrdom, who, heading George Osbal lestone, appeared to be, inch by inch, overhauling Pero Gomez. When they were within fifty yards of the chair it `ins clear that, if he could have maintained his effort, he would have got on level terms with the Kingsclere horse, but here he faltered from want of stamina, and although Fordham, sitting down resolutely, attempted to come with one dash, his effort met with no response on the part of his horse, who suffered a very clever defeat by a neck. George Osbaldeston finished third, four lengths in the rear of Lord Calthorpe's colt, and half that distance in advance of Pretender, who appeared unable to obtain even the honour of a "situation." Clear of the favourite came Duke of Beaufort, about a head in advance of Typhon, who was sixth, while The Starter, half a length off, was seventh, and The Drummer, following in their wake, eighth. Pulling up a long way off was Lord Hawthorn, while Conrad and Derventio, who were stopped, at the Red tiouse, walked in with the crowd. When the winner was indicated to a certainty, such a cheering was set up as can be heard at few places except Doncaster on the St. Leger Day. Hats were thrown up in all directions, and hurrah succeeded and inter mingled with hurrah, until the admirers of " Pero " had shouted themselves hoarse. The winner seemed but little distressed, and his perfect condi tion was evidenced by the fact of hardly a hair being turned. Amidst all the uproar, shoulder and haunch pattings to which he was submitted, " Pero " stood whisking his tail, as though it was an every day occur rence. Fordham's ill luck in great events again received substantiation, and although he got every inch out of Martyrdom and rode with the finest judgment, he failed to get quite to the front. Net value of the stakes, 15,525. Time, as taken by Benson's chronograph, 3min. 21il L sec. PERFORMANCES AND ENGAGEMENTS OF THE WINNER. - Pero Gomez, bred by Sir Joseph Hawley, made his first appearance in the Middle Park Plate, which, carrying Bst. 61b., and ridden by J. Adams, he won Ly half a length ; the Duke of Beaufort's Scottish Queen, Bst. 31b. (Fordhato), being second, beating Mr. Johnstone's Pre tender, Bst. 131 b. (Osborne), by three lengths. Twenty-one ran. Betting, 45 to 20 agst Wild Oats, 3to 1 agst Pero Gomez, and 6 to 1 agst King Cophetua. His only other race as a two-year old was in the Criterion, at the Houghton Meeting, for which, again ridden by J. Adams, he ran a dead heat with the Duke of Hamilton's Wild Oats (T. French), carrying Bst. 121 b. each ; Mr. Padwick's Ethus Est. 81b. (Fordbam), being third, beaten four lengths. Six ran. Betting, 11 to 10 on Pero Gomez, 9to .? against Wild Oats. The stakes were afterwards divided. The first appearance of Pero Gomez as a three-year old was in the Newmarket Biennial, at the Craven Meeting, in which he defeated the Duke of Beau fort by a neck, Ryshworth being third, three lengths in their rear, and Tenedos fourth, each carrying Bst 101 b. Six ran. Betting, 2 to 1 on Pero Gomez, and 4 to 1 against Duke of Beaufort. Next came the great Derby contest, where he suffered defeat for the first time, and • finished a head behind Pretender, after meeting with a - disappointmet in the race which admittedly interferred r with his chance of winning. Twenty-two ran. Betting, 11 to 8 agst Pretender, and 11 to 2 agst Pero Gomez.

Engagements :—Pero Gomez is engaged in the Doncaster Stakes, run on Friday next; iu the Grand Duke Michael Stakes at the First October, :,ad the Loyal Stakes and - Newmarket Derby on the ::econd October. The Rev. Mr. Gladstone, curate of the parish cbnrch of Lambeth, London, and second son of the Pre mier, during his stay with Sir Thomas Gladstone, preached at the Episcopal Church of St. Andrew, Pascoe, en Sun day week, ire afterwards walked over the hill, and joined the rumier Balmoral, TO SATISFY A BET. The continental papers (the Daily News remarks) delight to record the feats of eccentric Englishmen. We are supposed to be a nation of oddities, and ready for any nonsense. Some time ago we heard of an Englishman who made a bet that he would walk all the way to India, and who asked some consul on She shores of the Black Sea for instructions as to the best road to take. A few days after wards the consul was beset by another Englishman bent on the same errand, and eager for similar informa tion. This was the man who took the first traveller's wager, and who was now in the track of his adversary to see that he strictly fulfilled the terms of his engage ment. N ow, we have the story of an " original English man," who has just traversed the Grand Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt on his road to Egypt to witness the inaugu ration of the Suez Canal. He had made a bet that he would go from England to Egypt in his yacht without touching earth. He accordingly sailed across the Channel and up the Rhine to Mayence. Here he meant to turn up the Maine till he reached the Maine and Danube Canal ; but the water of the river was not deep enough for his adventurous craft. Nothing daunted, however, our compatriot is said to have caused three waggons to be lashed together, and his yacht to be placed on the top of them, taking care the while never to leave the deck so as to avoid touching land. In this manner the Maine and Rhine Railway transported yacht and traveller to the town of Bamberg, much to the stupefaction of the peasants. At Bamberg the yacht was launched into the canal which will bear it to the Danube ; thence it will proceed to the Black Sea, to the Sea of Marmora, to the Archipelago, to the Mediterranean, to Suez, and, let us hope, through the Canal to the Red Sea. The story is more likely to be true than that of the two Englishmen walking one in the foot steps of the other all the way to India ; but true or not, our continental friends think it ought to be true. The whim and the wager are supposed to be very charac teristic of Englishmen. As Frenchmen bring all disputes to the test of a duel, Englishmen, it is perfectly well known, reduce all disputes to the test of a wager. Every foreigner is certain that every Englishman is ready for a bet. There is nothing he will not bet about. The poet speaks of a wretch who would botanise upon his mother's grave. Foreigners have an idea that every Englishman would bet upon the number of nails in his mother's coffin. THE TRAGEDY AT POPLAR. On Wednesday Mr. John Humphreys, coroner, held inquests at the St. Leonard's Arms Tavern:St. Leonard's road, Bromley, on view of the bodies of Jonathan Judge, aged 33 years, Clara Ann Judge, aged :7,2, and Louisa Emily and Charles Judge, aged respectively 3 years and 10 months, who were suffocated by the fumes of charcoal at No. 18, Bromley-cottages. Inspector Smith, K division, watched the case for the Commissioners of Police. Henry Judge, 27, Englehelm terrace, blillwall, a driller, brother of the deceased man, identified the bodies. He stated that he had never heard his brother threaten to destroy his life or the lives of his children. Sergeant Michael Holton, 2t? K, said, on Tuesday morning, while on duty, a young man came up to him and said, "A family has been murdered in your street." Upon going to Judge's house, witness found that the top window had been broken open, and that 229 K had entered by means of a ladder. Witness entered the house and saw the bodies of four penons lying upon a Led in the corner of the top back room. The body of the man was lying partially over those of his wife and two children. The woman lav on her back, the infant being on herieft hand and the girl some little distance off on her right. The witness gave a description of the state of the room. An old can on the floor contained the remains of charcoal. On a table was some mutton which a cat ran away with while the police were searching about. Two books—" Treasure Trove; or, He would be a Gentleman," and "A Struggle for Life" —appeared to have been read quite recently, one of them lying still unclosed on the table. The chinks of the window and of the door, &c., were pasted over with strips of the Eastern Post and other newspapers. Brown paper was used in addition where the crevices were large, as at the lower part of the doorway, &c. Inspector Smith pro duced two letters in the handwriting of Jonathan Judge, which had been found in the room. On one of them was written a direction to give to his brother the old family clock. The other was as follows :—" 13t1; September.—T, J. Judge, hereby certify and leave to Eleanor Wilson all we possess.— (Signed) J. JUDGE, CLABA JUDGE." The signatures were in the handwriting of Judge and his wife. Robert Thorpe said that he knew that Judge's family were in great poverty in consequence of being out of work. Thorpe, being also out of work, wa, much with Judge, and he always thought him a sober : steady man. He had been in the 24th Regiment for eight years and had served in India. He often-said, "I wish I were back in India again." Ms wages when in work were a guinea a week. The coroner having summed up, tine jury, after deliberating for an le u-, returned a verdict of wilful murder against Jonathan and Clara Judge for destroying their two children, and sti:cide while in a state of unsound mind in regard to themselves. The total number of British vessels entering the port of Calais during the year 1833 was 1,079, being 15'2 less than in the previous year. The Tower Subway appears to be progressing in a satisfactory manner. At a meeting of the shareholder on Wednesday it was stated that out of a total length of 1,350 feet, 1150 had been completed. It is officially stated that in consequence of the proximity of France to England, pig iron can be imported into the former country at a cheaper rate than it can be produced at the foundry of Marquise, on the Calais and Boulogne Railway. The productions of the said foundry have therefore sensibly diminished. The aggregate quantity of clean cotton produced in Continental Greece in 1861 is estimated at about 5,950,8771b5. at this amount only 24,2161b5. were shipped to England, which is mainly due to the want of direct conveyance from the Piranis to Liverpool. A correspondent, who has just travelled through Ireland, declares that the only marks of disaffection he encountered were shewn by two Protestants, one of whom had the portrait of the Queen hanging in his dining-room, with her Majesty's face turned towards the wall, and another, who flatly told him that the Queen, in assenting to the Irish Church Aet, had perjured herself. THE LATE INTERNATIONAL BOAT-RACE. - The gentleman of the English and foreign press who sub scribed to hire the steamer Sunflower, on the occasion of the late boat-race between Oxford and Harvard Univer sities have, through Messrs. Clement Brothers, of 13ell's Life, forwarded to the National Life-boat Institution a contribution of £l2los. ; being a moiety of the balance of their subscriptions after paying for the hire of the steamer. WASHING UNDER DIFFICULTIES. - An English visitor to Stettin thus recounts the troubles of his coun trymen in Prussia with respect to their toilette. " I hap pened to call on a friend at his billet, and found him vainly endeavouring to explain to the people of the house that he wanted a tub of some sort wherein to relieve his cuticle of the dust that bad accumulated upon its surface - luring a four hours' ride with the Staff. My friend spoke no German—the Starngarder, if anything, still less Eng lish—and my appearance was hailed with joy by both parties, as a means to the arrival at something like a mutual understanding. Of course, I proceeded to inquire whether the resources of the establishment included the common appliances for washing. Oh ! yes, best foreign lord ; there is that good large basin there,' pointing out a shallow pie'dish, up to about half-a-pint of water. But have you not the tub in which the house linen is washed ?' We do not, ah ! my honoured Sir Baron, wash at home!' But do you never, never, wash your bodies in the privacy of the chamber ?' You should have seen the man's face of astonishment and dismay. Never—upon honour—word, never !We rinse, so'—the gesture is in describable—` our faces sometimes:; but our bodies—oh, how could you think we would do such a thing ?' This is a true story ; nothing extenuated, I assure you, nor aught set down in malice. CHASE AFTER AN ESCAPED MILITARY PRISONER. —A remarkable occurrence took place at Hounslow on Wednesday morning. It appears that a private of the 9th Lancers, named James Chinery, bad been convicted of neglect of duty, and was under sentence of six months' imprisonmen in Aldershot Military Gaol. Corporal Lowe had charge of an escort, which was under orders to convey Chinery to Kingston Railway Station, and thence to Aldershot. Soon after the escort had left Hounslow Barracks, and on reaching the London-road, Chinery, who was mounted on a very fleet horse, suddenly applied the spur and shot off in the direc tion of London. The escort pursued, but did not come up with the prisoner. Seeing this, Corporal Lowe ordered his men to draw their pistols and fire if Chinery relnBed to surrender. But pistol shots would not have reached the distance between the pu:•sued and the pursuers, and for nearly two miles the cf;a: carried on. Wip:o midway between Hounslow and :Isleworth the horse of one of the esc:)rt stumbled, thrOwing the rider with great force to the ground, and his pistol went' off. The contents happily struck against a wall, occasioning no serious damage. The soldier was, however, very much shaken. Meanwhile the prisoner Chinery was riding madly along, and had reached Bre n tf or d- en d , when, on the horse shelving signs of restiveness, the pursuing party were enabled to come up with him. Their prisoner had, however, in the meantime secreted himself in a market overpower ; le g trden. His whereabouts were discovered soon after wards,mita r aided whereupon byt h h e e p s o h l e ic w e e;; ,.. e s r i able so of fight t o b ut him,t and he was removed to tilt.; ipolice-station, and 84 1 440- quently on to Aldershot.

PRINCE ARTHUR IN BRITISH AMERICA, The New York Herald gives a long account of Prince Arthur's reception at Prince Edward's Island, and especially of the grand ball given in his honour at Char lottetown. It is said that the young Prince paid his visit to Prince Edward's Island at the special request of his royal mother. This province has not joined the recently formed confederacy, but it is nevertheless highly loyal, and great enthusiasm was displayed in expectation of the Prince's arrival. The people flocked to the Queen's Wharf at Charlottetown from the surrounding towns in vehicles and on foot, and waited patiently for many hours for the arrival of the Prince, which was delayed for several hours beyond the appointed time. The steamer was consequently unable to come close to the wharf, and the Prince had to land in a little boat. Two other little boats preceded him, whose occupants were loudly cheered in mistake for the Prince, a ludicrous error which both amused and irritated tire liecipie. At last the long-expected visitor actually arrived, and was welcomed with great cordiality. On reaching the Govern ment House, the Prince received an address from the Mayor, who declared that sentiments of loyalty and devotion to the Queen pervaded the hearts of all her subjects in Charlottetown. The correspondent of the New York Herald believes that the young Prince's visit to British North America has been highly satisfactory. Tho visit to Prince Edward's Island was specially im portant owing to the agitation which Las been going on respecting its junction with the Dominion and its annexation to the United States. To judge from appearances, the people at present are not inclined to adopt either course, but prefer to remain as an indepen dent province while retaining their allegiance to the British Crown. The Emperor continues to improve, and transac{ I business daily, besides receiving numerous visits. This afternoon General Prim waited on his Majesty, and had a long conference. Of course, many confusing statements are still made with respect to the health of the Emperor, and the movements of the Imperial party. While some affirm that the Empress will not make her intended ex cursion at all, others declare that she will start by the end of this month. The Siècle is very indignant with the American journals for stating that the Empress and the Imperial Prince intend to make a tour in the United States, and adds that they learnt the news in their own fancy. It is quite possible that the Empress may after .all go to Constantinople, as the Sultan has made all his preparations, and it would be rather discour teous to render them unavailing. Prince Napoleon has started on a journey ; and here, again contradictory assertions are made. On one hand, we are told that he will only be absent for a short time, and on enrll , er, that he has quitted Paris by order and that he received the intimation in consequence of the recent diseussione.that have taken place about the regency. In any case it is unsuitable to raise this question while the Emperor lives, and it is no matter of surprise if he should feel hurt and indignant about it. The opening of the Corps Ldgislatif is still the great topic of the day. It seems as if all the doubts and uneasi ness and uncertainty felt by the Liberal party, in spite of the grand programme of Ministerial reforms, have concentrated themselves upon this one point. It is all in vain that - the Con stitutionnel, the Patnie, and other journals argue end explain. It is useless fin- the one to assure the public that there are limits to human endurance, and that the Ministers have already been grievously overtaxed by the labour of preparing the Senatus-Consultum ; for another to hint that the interval of repose is necessary for the formation of a calm and moderate public opinion on the great questions of the day ; for a third to infer that the Ministers are devoting this very period of repose to the elaboration of fresh schemes of constitutional reform. All these arguments are alike ineffective, and the popular impatience augments rather than diminishes. I understand the Cabinet is no less pre occupied than the people with thoughts of the coming session. The new privileges which the deputies have acquired by the Senatus - Consultum more especially the right of initiating measures, occasion them a good deal of uneasiness, and, instead of either seeking to repose their minds as advised by the Constitationnet, or to prepare new measures of re form, as suggested in other quarters, I believe they are in reality considering how best to dispose their forces to resist possible attack. The Copstitettionne/ of this morning emphatically con tradicts the rumour of Ministerial dissensions, and is almost equally indignant with those journals which sus. pect the Cabinet of somewhat lukewarm zeal in the cause of Liberal reform. It is likely enough that there will be no changes in the Cabinet at present ; but I am assured that the crisis is only delayed, not averted, and we have yet to see whether the party represented by M. de Forcade, or the followers of MM. Magne and Chasse loup-Laubat will prevail. The Temps, in its vexation at the indefinite postpone ment of the session, advises the deputies, if net convoked for the 25th of October, which is the latest constitutional limit to the recess, to assemble and resume their labours without waiting for any official intimation. This measure would be rather too strong at present, but the fact that it should have been gravely proposed in one of our leading journals is not a little significant. The idea of a plebiscitum is being revived, and sin gularly enough the Public, M. ltouher's organ, is one of those journals which revive it. The France gravely proposes that a fresh constitution should be framed and submitted to the popular vote. The Temps, in opposing this suggestion, sagaciously observes that under it it would be possible for personal government to be restored in its full strength for the next ten or fifteen years. The Independanee Beige returns thanks to the French press for the congenial spirit it has displayed in protesting against the persecution to which it has been subjected. The Ind'pendance complains of the seizure of a foreign journal, which has always been impartial in its views, and also very moderate in its opposition, The Prince Imperial paid a visit to the fete of St. Cloud on Sunday afternoon, and was much amused by the lively scene. He was eager to join in some of the games that were going on, but his governor would not consent, because he said that it would attract too much notice. The greatest excitement has prevailed at Havre in consequence of the storm that has raged there, and the pier has been crowded with persons watching the high tide. The Dieppe train was delayed in making its appearance on account of the frequent interruptions caused by the trees which had been blown across the lines. A sad accident has just occurred at the Victoria Theatre, Berlin, which resulted in the death of two of the singers. The unfortunate females were arranging their attire, when one of them imprudently threw down a piece of lighted paper. Their light dresses caught fire and although the flames were soon extinguished they did not survive the shock. EXTP.A-PARLIAMENTAP.Y UTTERANCES. The annual dinner of the Warwickshire Agricul tural Society, held at Coventry, was attended by Mr. Newdegate, M.P., and Mr. Bromley-Davenport, M.P. Both the county members touched upon the land question, the former warning the farmers of England not to be led astray by the mild declamation with which the land question might be brought forward, but to look their own position in the face, like men of business, and secure for themselves every thing which in taking a farm they would wish to claim by the law of England. In Ireland they would hear opinions and objects broached inconsistent with the rights and safety of property, and ho warned Englishmen, as farmers and tradesmen, that if they endangered pro perty they would shake credit, and if they shook credit they would injure their own businesses. They might depend upon it that those agitations which claimed to be Irish were of foreign origin, and that there was great truth in that assertion of their advo cates, when they stated that the conditions which suit England will not meet their objects with regard to Ireland. It would be well not to be led away by agitations nut really founded upon any desire for the rational advancement of the tenant, but calculated to injure his position by shaking the security of property and unsettling the soundness and availability of credit. Mr. Bromley Davenport disagreed with Mr. Newde gate. If the Legislature could shew hiro any Icay in which they could ameliorate by legislation the posi tion between himself and his tenants, he should welcome such a measure most cordially. The land question in Ireland and in England was very diffe rent; but if such a measure as appeared to be intended to be brought forward with respect to Ireland was introduced into England, he should be prepared to accept it; but le hoped others would be prepared for the trade questions, the purse questions, and the general property question, which must inevitably THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS. The latest revelations made at Beverley, by means of the searching inquiry of the royal commissioners are sad enough, but they are by no means surprising. Everyone must have felt that the published returns, so extraordinarily low, were false and fictitious, and such they have proved to be. It was shewn on Tuesday that the Conservative election expenses in 1805, which were officially returned at £O5O, actually were £l,OOO. In 1890 the official return was £337, but really £OOO was spent. In 1859 the expenditure was about the same. The larger portions of the greater sums were not paid, however, until after the returns had been made, though it must, of course, have been-known in each case that the money was owing. The bribery ac counts are being investigated by the Commissioners, and the various sums are being traced. They appear notwithstanding Sir Henry Edwards's emphatic denial, to have come from him and his fellow candidates. Whether he knew for what purpose the money was used is another matter. The Bridgwater witnesses have been trying to shield one another and themselves, and have done their business so clumsily that they are contra dicting and correcting incessantly. If they be not careful, they will learn the power of the commis sioners to commit to prison. The learned gentl emen are by no means vague in their threats on this subject. RFORG.SNISATION. The critical time of the Irish Church, the time at which its constitution is being settled, has commenced : the General United Synod of the two provinces of Armagh and Dublin, aro in full session at the latter city. The Synod divides itself into two Houses ; the Upper consists of the prelates; the Lower comprises the clergy. The first business was the passing of another—let us hope the last—protest against the now irre vocable law disestablishing the Church. In the Upper House the Bishop of Down argued that the resolution was unnecessary, but did not find a sup porter; in the Lower Chamber the protest was passed nem con. Having thus relieved themselves of the responsibility attaching to the Pialiameat of 1869, both houses settled themselves to real business. The Upper House soon settled a plan of clerical representation. The total number of representa tive clergymen whom they propose to admit to the new body is 124. In addition to these, one dean and one archdeacon is proposed for each united diocese, and the Regius Professor of Divinity, Trinity College, to be ex (rgicio members; the Pro vost and Fellows of the college to return one member. The Lower House, coining to consider this scheme, first had its attention drawn to lay representation. Archdeacon Lee, of Dublin, moved a preface declaring the advisability of admitting the laity as " a third order," but in favour of heeping them in a well-defined position. Ho argued that they should have no power in the matter of doctrine or discipline ; these question (said the resolution) "being reserved as from the first for the care of the bisl.ol , s nntl ot!:er clergy." The consideration of the bishops' plan and this amendment was postponed. It should be remarlied that the bishops met priva :direly not altogether a wise corn se. THE TENURE OF LAND IN UT:LAND. A quota of information on the pressing question of the day—the tenure of Ind in Ireland— is furnished to the Tin:es by Mr. John Ussher, an Irish landlord. The main point to which attention is directed is the legislation which is now likely to arise ; and the system which limier somewhat ana logous circumstances was adopted in Prussia some years ago, is made the subject of comment. Having described the system of land tenure which preceded the present in that country, the writ er argues that the difficulty of substituting a peasant proprietary for the present owners of land in Ireland might be overcome by some such simple means as Were adopted in Prussia. What was done was this. By special law, if the peasant wished to buy, and the " seigneur," or landlord, was willing to sell to him, the remaining third or half of his farm, the Govern ment intervened and assisted the peasant to become the purchaser, by means of banks established for the purpose. The seigneur's ownership of the third or half being made over to the bank, it gave him in return bonds, with Government security, bearing 4 percent. interest, for the purchase money, which was in no case to exceed twenty years' purchase of a Government valuation of the annual value. The difference between this twenty years' purchase and the actual price agreed On between the seigneur and peasant, the latter, of course, paid from his private means, and the owner thus received the full price of his land as arranged by mutual agreement. The peasant continued to pay the bank the annual rent of the land, thus fixed by Government valuation, for forty one years, or nine -tenths of the amount for fifty-six, at the end of which period it became his own, free from any future charge. Admitting that the circumstances of the two coun tries are different, Mr.Ussher believes thatthe principle of the system introduced into Prussia might be applied to Ireland. A measure to facilitate the purchase of the freehold of the soil by the occupier should form part of any land bill for Ireland ; and a sufficient number of banks with Government security should be established—one in every two or three counties— which, on a price being agreed on between owner and occupier, should advance to the latter a sum not exceeding twenty years purchase of the poor law valuation of the farm. The difference be tween this twenty years' purchase and the sum agreed on would be made up from the private resources of the tenant, and on the purchase money being paid the former owner would thenceforth disappear from the scene. For the future, the rent payable by the occupier to the bank would be only the Poor Law valuation of his farm, in general a fourth at least under its real value, and, according to the loan system now carried out under the Board of Public Works, he would continue to pay such rent for only thirty-five years, at the end of which time, t per cent. having thus been annually paid on the money borrowed, principal and interest would be both paid off, and he or his heirs would become the owners of the land, in freehold, clear of all charges whatso ever. THE COUNCIL OF THE VATICAN. The perseverance of Dr. Cumming in maintaining that Protestants are invited to attend the approach ing Council at Rome has called forth another , com munication o f n r from s Sir thil George eoton t B a n o Ivy the e. suggestion This that befor e P ro t es t an t s arg ue with the Fathers of la deliverance t s the Council they should settle the differences existing among themselves. Thus, Dr. Cumming should apply to be heard at the bar of the Anglican Convoca tion against episcopacy, and against the Thirty-nine Articles so far as they are contrary to the catechism of the Kirk, and against many things in the Book of Common Prayer. " Instead of writing to his Holines in ecclesiastical Latin (to which a more cynical name might be given), let him write in plain English to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and ask to be heard at the bar of Convocation. He would find quite enough to do to hold his own against, the learned and 'highly-estimable divines who sit in that distinguished assembly ; and when he h,;(1 convineca them of their errors they would probably despatch him to Rome with full powers to represent them and tight the battle of Protestantism. if not before the Council, at least before some authority competent to hear and deal with his argument." GOVERNMENT AND THE TELEGRAPHS Active preparations are being made by the Post Office authorities for undertaking the management of the telegraphs. It is now arranged that they shall come into their hands on the Ist January next. Experiments are being made with pneumatic tubes in the hope that they may be laid down throughout London and other large towns, for the purpose of sending messages from the branch oflices to the central station, instead of telegraphing these mes sages as at present. If this . system should be found DR. LIVINGSTONE. The assistant-secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, in writing to the Times to correct certain errors which haVe found their way into print during the recent discussion concerning Dr. Livingstone, announces that when the Council of the Society meet in the autumn they will make the hypothesis of Sir Roderick Murchison as to the course pursued by the intrepid traveller the subject of anxious consideration. He further adds that already several able and experienced men have offered themselves to levd a search expedition to Cazembe. TEIE REVIVAL OF PROTECTION. A meeting of fifty gentlemen in Manchester deter mined on reviving Protection is a sufficiently start ling affair in this year of Grace 1869.. Such a meeting took place on Tuesday. 'Though by the way these gentlemen do not care to be called Protectionists: they do not like Protection they say, universal free trade is their aim, but they do not think it fair that the free trade should be all on England's side, while other countries keep up high duties and pro hibitive rates. So the new "Manchester School " have formed themselves into " a Reciprocity associa tion," and have really commenced an organisation for agitating the country upon the subject. It is by no means admitted that reciprocity is right ; these gentlemen only modestly request an inquiry, and for that purpose—that the question may be thoroughly sifted—they are going to hold meetings up and down the land. The Cohen Club will really have work to do after all. SHEERNESS DOCKYARD. The dockyards are not all to be swept away imme diately, as recent rumours would lead one to sup pose. The Admil has stayed its destroying hand for a time. The rumour that Sheerness is about to fall, along with Woolwich and Deptford is positively untrue. Mr. A. W. Marks, of Sheerness, wrote to the Lords of the Admiralty asking if the story had foundation, and has received from Mr. Vernon Lushington the following reply With reference to your letter of the 7th instant, requesting to be informed whether 'The Government had decided on the abolition of Sheerness as a naval establishment,' I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you in reply that my lords have come to no such decision, and that, in fact, they have never considered the question." _1341911A1f YOUNG AND POLYGAMY. Mormonism minus Polygamy would appear to be an anomaly. Yet such an anomaly seems likely to be seen ere long. Mr. Brigham Young is on the verge of receiving a revelation which he thinks it not improbable may abolish polygamy among the saints. Revelations are not always opportune. This one, however, would be so, for, as it happens, the prac tices of the Salt Lake City in the direction of matri mony are conir,lry to the laic of the United States, and the completion of the Pacific Ilailway affords admirable facilities for the conveyance of troops from Washington to Utah to enforce the statute so fragrantly broken. Nor is this all: the saints, we are told, are in want of money to build a railroad, " and assistance from the Government in land-grants and bonds cannot be asked for unless obedience be promised to the laws." It may, therefore, very fairly be assumed that if the revelation does come, and forbids each saint for the future taking more than one wife to himself, it will be implicitly obeyed. Yet if its action be not retrospective, a curious condition of things will arise. There will be two parties in the State, the one holding on to polygamy, the other being the exponents of monogamy. WANT OF CONFIDENCE. The Spanish Government has decided to "regu late " the transmission of messages, and telegrams which do not meet with their approval are either refused transmission or delayed. It is difficult to see what can be gained by this proceeding. The effect will be to cause more distrust than would arise from the free enunciation of mes sages. It will, however, be a good thing for Roths child and other large speculators, who can make arrangements by which the most harmless-looking messages will convey the facts which they want to know, giving them full information, while the public are left in the dark and all kinds of suspicions are allowed to crow. FOREIGN' NOTES. THE PRUSSIAN ARMY. The nianceuvrea of the second Prussian Army Corps have been brought to a close, and the general opinion is that they have performed their task in a very creditable manner. The General of the Army Corps does not determine the arrangements of the campaign beforehand, but the divisional generals are left to act on their own responsibility, as they would have to do if the enemy opposed to them were genuine instead of fictitious. This plan affords a good test of the merits of all engaged in the manrouvres, and an arbitrator is ap pointed to pronounce judgment upon the clay's operations, and decide to whom the victory should belong. In considering the condition of the Prussian army, due praise must be accorded to the Royal Family, whose members take the greatest interest in its progress and development, and are well acquainted with all the details of the service. The compulsory service to which every Prussian is subjected does not occasion the annoy ance which might have been expected, and, on the con trary, some who could have been excused on account of physical infirmity, have resolved to join the ser vice. The Prussian service has some advantages over the English, and men of talent are not kept down as they are by the army authorities in this country. The Prus sian soldier is also well looked after by the Government, and the Prussian army is most admirably organised on the whole. PRUSSIAN POLICY IN SCHLESWIG. It is affirmed by the Nord Est that the Prussian autho rities have made it known in Schleswig that any attempt which may be made to induce the Emperor of Austria to carry out the provisions of the Treaty of Prague will be regarded as an act of high treason. The Danewirke advises the electors to re-elect the deputies Ryger and Ahleman, who had resigned, in order to shew Prussia that if she can close the doors of the Assembly on the legiti• mate representatives of the country, she cannot extinguish the popular voice. WORKING MEN'S CONGRESS AT BASLE. The fourth annual Congress of the International Working Men's Association is being held at Basle. As many as sixty delegates presented credentials. England, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Ger many were represented. The report of the General Council was chiefly devoted to a history of the strikes, riots, &c., and it was declared that the association had not been the instigator of them, as some had supposed. Of the late strikes at Lyons and St. Etienne, the report stated that it was not the International that insti gated the strikes, but the strikes that threw the workpeople into the arms of the International. Shortly after the affair at St. Etienne, the strike of the 8,000 ovalists of Lyons took place. They appealed to the International for assistance ; their example was followed by the other trades in Lyons, so that the association obtained in a few weeks more than 10,000 new members from the heroic population which more than thirty years ago wrote on their banner, " Vivre en travaillant on mourir en combatant." Letters of congratulation were received by the Congress from all parts of Europe, and there were some from America also. Special reports were then made of the branches and sections, and the chief delegates of England and America gave most interesting accounts of the state of affairs in their respective countries. THE KING Or GREECE. The King of Greece has written a letter to the Hel lenic Chamber, in answer to their congratulatory address on the birth and baptism of his second son. Ile thanks the Chamber for the affection which they display for his children, who will, he trusts, respond to the hopes of the Hellenic race. Having become the head of a national dynasty, lie regards the Hellenic crown as a sacred trust for a Prince, Hellenic, not only from his heart, but by religion and birth. The King appeals to the patriotic assistance of all in his endeavours to improve public security, to re-establish public credit, and to encourage the material progress of the country. The recent national calamities ought, he thinks, to redouble their zeal for the future. CUB.t. A decree has been issued by President Balta which recognises the independence of Cuba. He declares that the Government of Peru having been friendly to the revolted Cubans ought, now that they are organised, to recognise as a friend the Government of the Cub:ix Republic. Among the visitor 3 lately received by President Grant were, Governor Walker, of Virginia. and a Cuban envoy, who had au hour's private talk will: Count Valinaseda has been appointed General-in-Chief of the Spanish troops in Cuba, with his head-quarters in the field. General La Torre has resigned his command in the eastern department. A CUBAN IN CEORCIA. --- A lhrge party of men, enlisted in ail parts of the country for the (Julian army, have been arrested ii Georgia. They Lad engaged a special boat is take them down the Apalachicola River, and it is believed tney are cinder the command of Major 13ridgman. formerly a member of General Lee's staff. Revenue cutters have been ordered cif the coast, to intercept the expedition, in ease it should get apt ay as the district force AMERICAN PRESS. The New York Post says :—" A friend, who has just returned with his wife from Newport, informs us that the head waiter at one of the leading hotels boasted that his fees from guests averaged one hun dred dollars a day. These subsidies are for choice seats at the table, a waiter duly instructed to look after the wants of the paying customers, and some thing to eat. The old custom of going directly from the hotel to a restaurant to allay the pangs of hunger, whiCh can be satisfied by no amount of plate, plated ware, fashion or style, is now obviated by seeing the head waiter immediately after arriving at the hotel, and if he is properly seen, early, and especially often, the inspecting guest will occasion ally see something to eat." The Louisville Journal thus writes on the Presi dent :—" Never before did this country have a Pre sident who was such an idler, rambler, rover, strol ler, we will not say vagabond, as General Grant. He is here, there, everywhere. He can't stay for any length of time in one place. He is as restless as if a fiddler were fiddling upon his nerves. He has a puerile passion for incessant motion. He moves as if tied to the tail of a jack-o-lantern. Ile is a Flibbertigibbet. He reminds us of the man who had a wooden leg with a spring in it that he couldn't stop, so that the leg walked on with him as long as he lived, and for an indefinite period afterwards." The St. Louis Democrat counsels the Southern people to turn their thoughts from Chinese impor tation and seek to make the best use of the labour they now have. It argues that the Northern mines, railroads, and factories will outrun them, and urges that the South will be wise if, not building its hopes upon Chinese labour for agricultural purposes, it looks instead to the fullest development of free la bour, to the invention and application of machines, to the higher cultivation of smaller estates, and to the complete abandonment of the feudal system and its ideas. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 171 e. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of yrs. 100. per ounce for standard _gold, It appeArs that gold at the above price is about the same in Paris and Lon don. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GU days' sight was tosg per cent, ou the 13th inst. At this rate there would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United States. COLORADO. (From the Anglo-American Times.) No. 11. The Sahwatch, or San Luis Lake, is said to be, as we noticed in our previous article, without a visible outlet, yet fresh. As nineteen mountain streams flow into the lake, and as the climate at such an elevation is not sufficiently warm to cause much evaporation, certainly nothing in proportion to the body of water received, the supposition is that the surplus escapes through subterranean channels. This lake is probably one of the sources of that river said to flow south beneath the Rocky Mountains till it arises in the Gulf of Mexico, and there, in conjunction with one similar, flowing north through the Andes, to cause the Gulf Stream. Commis sioner Wilson, in his Report on the Public Lands, says " that from the primary rocks outcropping at the mural summits to the sedimentary drift covered with soil, and varnished with vegetation around San Luis Lake, all the elements of the geological series seem to be represented, forming the San Luis Park into a sort of geological cabinet. The crevices of secondary rocks on the mountain sides are charged with the richest ores, the source of the golden detritus found in the gulches just below." Properly to un derstand these Parks, or, indeed, to comprehend accu rately the geography of America, it should be known that they are merely parts of the table land which extends 4,000 miles in length south-east and north west, containing an area of two millions of square miles, its average altitude being 6,000 feet above the sea. The City of Mexico, as well as the new Jerusalem of the Mormons, as indeed Chihuahua, are situated on this plateau, its area being carried through South America, though narrowed to a mere strip towards the Isthmus between the northern and southern continents. The Rocky Mountains rise from the great plateau, as do the Wasatch Chain and the Sierra Nevada, and these Parks of Colorado are but portions of the upland, closely enveloped by the mountains. The Cordillera, bending in suc cessive and alternate sweeps, divide them from each other, and spurs curve around to embrace those fronts of the Parks whence the rivers debouch by oanyons. The mother Cordillera has a base and flanks' of granite slopes, surmounted by masses of jurassic limestone. Neither igneous plutonic rock nor eruptive lava is there to be found, while the Sierra Miembres presents the throats of ancient volcanoes —streams of lava once fluid, and immense pedrigles of igneous and plutonic rocks. Passing through Poncho Pass the valley of the Arkansas river is entered, and the ranges to the east separate it from the South Park, which extends about GO miles in length and half that in breadth. The South Platte passes through the centre of the Park, deriving its source from the mountains hedging in the valley. Looking over the Park from the north are two huge peaks, called Gilpin's Pillars, whence descends the water south into the South Platte, and north and west into tributaries of the Colorado. Indeed, the Middle Park, which lies just tattle north of South Park and directly south of North Park, gathers all its waters for the Pacific; while the North Park, divided from the Middle Park by a narrow chain like a wall, takes all its scattered streams out by one mouth, sending them straight north through a con tracted gorge gathered into a river of considerable magnitude. In these densely-massed ranges we have the backbone of the North American mountain system, and the great water-shed of its rivers. The Green River enters Colorado from Utah, penetrat ing for a short distance through its mountains, but though it receives the greater portion of its water from that Territory, its course is along Utah. In deed nearly all its water is derived from these ranges, and the river, of which it is a branch, has its source on the opposite side o: that mountain, whence flows towards the other coast of America the Arkansas, while one of the main streams of the river run ning to the Pacific almost intermingles with the RioGrande, whose course is to the Gulf of Mexico. Although the chief Parks of Colorado run in a line nearly north and south, skirting the rol ling prairies, by which the Rocky Mountains are approached from the east, there are other Parks scattered over the mountain portion of the Terri tory--the Park of the Animas, luuncompahgre Park, Egeria Park, and others, some only now being discovered and named. Two expeditions have lately been despatched ; the one, Colonel Powell's, to trace down Green River into the Colorado, and the other from Breckenridge, consisting of Mr. Samuel Adams with a party of eleven men and four boats. Our readers should know that this point of departure is just below Gilpin's Pillars, between the South and Middle Parks ; that is, it is in the range fur thest east, which acts as a watershed to the Pacific, tile source of the Blue River, which itself is but a branch of a branch of the Bunkara or Grand River. If the party get safely through they will find them selves on the Colorado with Powell's expedition ; but the question is, whether they will get safely through, as the river fell 2,000 feet in 40 miles, the fall in one mile and a half, being 230 feet, when they entered a magnificent park, which suddenly burst on their view as they were whirled along in the rapids. This, however, can only be the be ginning of the descent, for the stream carries them west, although their starting point as the crow flies was perhaps within 40 miles of Denver. The wes tern half of Colorado to be understood should be approached from the east. Denver is reached through long sweeps of rolling prairies, ascending gradually from the Missouri, but as the city is neared the snow-clad mountains of Colorado are seen north and south rising in a grand wall for 200 miles. To the north Long's Peak stands prominently out ; to the south Pike's Peak ; and between runs an am phitheatre of mountains, the diameter of which is 150 miles. Elsewhere the snowy range is so gradu ally approached along the rising ground that the magnitude of the height is lost, but in Colorado the scene is like the approach to the Himalayahs from the plains of India or to the Andes through Peru. Behind the gazer the prairie is interminable ; behind the chain rising so majestically before him the mountain ranges away back to the Pacific are only broken by wide valleys and broad basins. A writer thus describes the view from the summit of Mount Lincoln, overshadowing the picturesque little vil lage of Montgomery. " Colorado is spread at your feet, the South Park, 60 miles long and 30 miles wide, with its undulating hills, green meadows, and a thousand glittering lakes and brooks dwindles to a mere pleasure ground. You look over Long's Peak north almost into Dacotah ; you look over the plains of Utah into the west, stretching towards the golden shores of the Pacific ; you look over the Spanish Park south into New Mexico, then turning to the east the eye again wanders over Pike's Peak to the great plains, which seem to rise up like an emerald ocean." Although Colonel Powell's expe dition is carried but a short distance by the Green River through Colorado, it derives its name from that Territory. His narrative so far is a most in teresting description of the corner through which he was taken by the river. " On the night of the 12th June we camped in a beau tiful grove of box elders on tho left bank, and hero we remained two days to dry our rations, which were in a spoiling condition. Wo found the wreck of a boat near our own, that had been carried above high-water mark, and with it the lid of a bake-oven, an old tin plate, and other things, showing that some one else had been wrecked there and camped in the canon after the disaster. This, I think, confirms the story of an attempt to run the canon, some years ago, mentioned before. On the 14th Howland and I climbed the walls of the canon, on the west side, to the altitude of 2,000 feet. On looking over to the west wo saw a park five or six miles wide and 25 or 30 long. The cliff formed a wall between the canon and the park, for it was 800 feet down the west side to the valley. A creek came winding down the park 1,00 feet above the river, and, cutting the wall by a canon, it at last plunged 1,000 feet, by a broken cascade, into the river below. The day after, while wo made another portage, a peak on the east side was climbed by two of the men and found to be - ,700 feet high. On each side of the river, at this point, a vast amphitheatre, has been cut out, with deep, dark alcoves and massive buttresses, and in these alcoves grow beautiful mosses and ferns. Another day was spent on the waves among the rocks, and we came down to Alcove Creek, and made an early halt for the night. The camp was made by a group of cedars on one side, and a mass of dead willows on Vie other. . . . . . . This had been a chapter of disasters and toils, but the Canon of Ladote was not devoid of scenic interest. It was grand beyond the power of pen to tell. lts waters roared unceasingly from the hour we entered it until we landed hero. No quiet in all that time; but its walls and cliffs, itB peaks and crags, the amphitheatres anti alcoves told a stogy that I hear yet, and shall hear, of beauty and of grail' dour. At the point where the Beer, or, with greater cor rectness, the Yampa River enters the Green, the river runs along a rock about 700 feet high and a mile long, theta turns sharply around to the right and runs back parallel to its former course for another mile, with the opposite sides of this long narrow for its bank. On the east side of the river, opposite the rock and below the Yampa, is 11 little park just large enough for a farm. The river 11 35 worn out hollow domes in this sandstone rock, and stand' ing opposite, your words are repeated with a strange clear ness, but softened, mellow tone. Conversation in a loud key is transformed into magical music. You can harily believe that it is the echo of your own voice. In some places two or three echoes come back ; in others, the echoe s themselves are repeated, passing forth and back across the river, for there is another rock making the eastern wall of the little park. To hear these echoes well you must shout' Some thought they could count 10 or 12 echoes. To ro e they seemed to rapidly vanish in multiplicity, auditeri Perspective, or perauditory, like the telegraph poles on an outstretched prairie. I observed this phenomenon 0 00 e before among the cliffs near Long's Peak, and was de lighted to meet with it again." THE A U71.1311\7 HANDICAPS.
