THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes a list of the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, and Secretaries of the Cuuncilt:- General. The Archbishop of PARIS is, it is said, about to undertake a very long journey. After visiting some of his venerable colleagues in their dioceses, he will leave France and travel over a part of Germany. The PRINCE PRESIDENT did not go to the Bal des Halles. The ilioniteur contains a decree, obliging all ves sels to carry lights from sunset to sunrise. Prince JEROME BONAPARTE returned to Paris early on Tuesday morning. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the occasion of the file of the 15th instant, gave a grand dinner to his colleagues and the members of the corps dip , lowatique. . Monseigneur GARIBALDI, the Papal Nuncio, Lord COWLEY, and the Ministers and Charge d'Affeires of Austria, Baden, Bavaria, Bel gium, Brazil, Denmark, Two Sicilies, Spain, Greece, Hanover, Holland, Portugal, Prussia, Russia, Sar dinia, Saxony, Sweden, Norway, Tuscany, Turkey, Uruguay, Wurtemberg, &c., were present. The Papal N uncio, in the name of the corps, proposed the health of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, to which M. DItOUYN DE LIIUYS replied by a toast "to the Sove reigns and Governments whose representatives he had the honour to see around him." The _llonitcur publishes the opinions expressed by several councils of arrondissement on the state of affairs. The prevailing feeling is one of confidence in the Chief of the State, but some of the councils manifest an earnest desire for the establishment of the Empire, as being better calculated to ensure stability in the relations of society, than the Republican form of Government. The Council of Thionville says : " Considering that it is the duty of all good citizens to seek the means of preventing now catastrophes and to put an cod to a state of things which, by throwing doubt over all affairs, still chcclts the spirit of industry, commerce, agriculture, and credit, the council expresses a hope that, in virtue of the terms of th© Constitution, a senates consulte will propose to the suffrage of the nation the reestablishment of tho hereditary empire in the person of Louis Napoleon." The council of arrondissement. of Toulouse desires— " That the Scuat,,, penetrated with a conviction of exiting circumstances aid with a view to the interests of lho country, will seek fur tho most proper means of consolidating in the hands of the Prince President the power that ho holds under the national will." The Council of Muret expresses a desire that sta bility may be given to the power of which LOUIS NAPO LEON has made such good use, and that the proposi tion may be submitted with the least possible delay to the sanction of the people. The Councils of Atniens and Bar-le Due express themselves in similar terms. That of 11.1.irecour, in the Meuse, contains the same wish in the form of an address to the PRINCE PRESI DENT. Many of the councils confine themselves to expressions of satisfaction for the services rendered to society by the PRINCE, but without allusion to the future. The following order of the day to the National Guard has been issued : " ORDER OF THE. DAY OF 16TH AUGUST, 1852. " At the review of the 15th of this month the Prince President was satisfied with the fine appearance of the battalions and squadrons of the National Guard, with the regularity of their manoeuvres, and the good spirit which animated them. The General in command hastens to transmit to the officers and national guards the expres sion of the satisfaction of the Prince, " Marquis ciQ LAWOESTINE. " General Commanding in Chief. " A. Isnard, Colonel, Chief of the General Staff." The Bourse was heavy with a decline in the price of public securities. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 104 f. 95c., and closed at 104 f. 80c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 75f. 75c ; the New Austrian Loan, 94f. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,412 E. 50c.; Rouen, 870 f.; Havre, 3631. 75e.; Avignon, 4 70f: ; Basle, 303 f.

By the United States' mail steamship Arctic, Luce commander, we have advices from New York to the 7th instant. She has 384,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Arctic passed the steamship Pacific, hence foe New York, at 5 50 enet. on the 7th. The Royal men steamship Niagara, Stone, com mander, arrived at Boston on the 6th inst. The adjourned discussion in the Senate on the fisheries question was to be resumed on the 12th inst. Washington letters of the 4th state that Mr. Web ster and Mr. Crampton would be there in a week, that the fisheries question had been temporarily set tled, and that Mr. Crampton had sent a dispatch to the British Government, urging it to suspend orders and to withdraw the naval force. The following dispatch from Commodore Perry to the United States' Secretary of the Navy had been received at Washington : " Eastport, Maine, Aug 5. " I have been collecting information. Everything in• dicates a favourable issue. I shall leave for St. John':, Now Brunswick, to-morrow, fog permitting." The Halifax papers publish the following extract of a dispatch from Sir Alexander Bannerman to Earl Grey, dated February, 1852, on the subject of the fisheries : " In regard to bounties, the United States' Govern ment pay large ones, and, as I stated to the Assembly, we have no business to complain of whatever policy that Government may consider most conducive to the inter eats of their subjects. But I am of the same opinion with your Lordship—averse to impose a tax on the whole community to benefit one particular class, for a trade requirieg a bounty (I mean a continued one), will turn out to be a fictitious one. Oar neighbours, and the French Government, will find out this in duo time; but that is no business of ours. The Act of the Assembly of this island passed in 1851 only lasts for three years. I understood it to be merely an en_courege• meat by the Legislature to give premiums, as they very properly do, for itnprovements in agricultare to another important branch of industry and commerce— the fisheries; but should the colonists find out—which they are sure to do—before the expiry of the Act, that its provisions will be a considerable drain on their limited finances, they will themselves remedy the evil—in my opinion the beet remedy that can bo applied in the present state of Prince Edward's Island. As to the fisheries, about which I have troubled your Lordship so mach, I have no hesitation in saying that were I the sole proprietor of this island, and look ing to the question as one involving my own interests, and not as a national one, I would petition her Majesty to abrogate the convention of 1818, and graciously ask for permission to invite the American fishermen to visit our shores, to carry on their trade, and make the best arrangement I could with them. But this cannot be done at present, and I would fain hope the question may he easily and amicably adjusted; and if that could be ac complished, nothing, I think, would tend more to cement amity end friendship with Great Britain and the United States." St. John's, New Brunswick, papers of the 2d inst. state that Vice-Admiral Seymour had purchased a brig and a schooner, which had been manned and armed to protect the colonial fishermen from the en croachments of the French. The papers re-assert that the British Government had no intention of enforcing the headland to headland part of the fisheries treaty, nor of demanding reciprocal free trade as the price of arranging the question. At Halifax a remonstrance to her Majesty's Go vernment was in circulation against allowing Ameri cans to fish within three miles of the shore, even if reciprocal free trade is granted. In the case of Thomas Maine, Judge Nelson bad allowed a writ of habeas corpus, bringing the prisoner before him on the 11th inst. Accompanying the writ was a lengthy opinion on the case as it stands, where in he doubts the legal authority of the United Slates' Commissioner to act in the matter. The effect of the writ would be to remove the whole of the proceedings before the Supreme Court. The following is Judge Nelson's opinion : "IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS RAISE, CLADIED AS A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE, UNDER TAE TREATY BE TWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN Or THE 9TH OF AUGUST, 18 42 . N e l son J.—This is an application on th e re l at i on of Keine, for a writ of habeas corpus, a prisoner in gaol, under the custody of the marshal for the southern dis trict of New York, charging that he is detained in prison by virtue of an order made by the Circuit Court of the United States of said district, dated July 9, 1852, of the April Term of said Court, purpor ting to be made under the treaty between the United States and Great Britain of the 9th of August, 1842, and which order remands the prisoner to the custody of the said marshal, to be detained under a commitment previously made by Commissioner Bridg man, under the provisions of the aforesaid treaty; and that since the granting of the said order by the Circuit Court the acting Secretary of State for the United States has issued a warrant directing the marshel to surrender the prisoner to the Government of Great Bri taid, in pursuance of the provisions of the said treaty. The case having been fully heard in the original pro ceedings before the commissioner, in accordance with the requirements of the treaty, and act of Congress in pursuance thereof, and the decision of that officer com mitting the prisoner for the purpose of a surrender to the authorities of Great Britain, as a fugitive from justice, having been subsequently revised and confirmed by the Circuit Court, I have declined granting the writ of habeas corpus, or taking any step in the matter of the application, until the whole of the previous pro ceedings in the case, including the evidence, points of counsel before the tommissioner, and opinion of the court, were laid before me, that I might be fully apprised of the grounds of the commit ment, and of the objections to the same. It is proper to eay, also, that I hate entertained the ease and called for these proceedings, not with a vie* to an ori ginal hearing of the matter on habeas corpus foi' the pur pose of passing any opinion upon the legality or ill ega lity of commitment by the conamiseibner, or with a view to a decision of the order of commitment by the Circuit Court, and a final disposition of the same at chambers; bet solely for the purpose of astertaining whether or not the questions involved, or any of them, were of a character so difficult and doubtful ; and their final determination by the highest authority was of suffi cient public interest to require or justify the submission of them to the Supreme Court of the United States-, By a series of decisions in that court the questions involved present appropriate subjects of examination in the exer cise of its appellate powers. ( 3 Cranch, 448; , 4 ib., 75; 7 Wh., 38; 3 Peters, 193 ; 7 ib., 568 ; and 5 How., 189, 190.) Looking at the case in this aspect, and with this view, I find the first and leading allegation is, to the legality of the commitment by the commissioner (and congress of the lawfulness of the detention of the prisoner depends on this, as will be seen hereafter), namely, that he possessed no jurisdiction over the case, and conse quently that the warrant of commitment was void, The treaty provides that the respective judges and other magistrates of the two Governments shall have power, jurisdiction, &e., to ;slue warrant,'tahe give effect to th e provisions of this treaty, With othera, for ektradition, provides, That it shell and may be Lawful for any of ug k us e t . , `lB4B, passed to of the justices of the Supreme Court, or judges of the several district Courts of the United States ; cud the judges of the several State courts, aryl betimissioners authorised so to do by any of the bourts of the United States, are hereby severally *fisted with powers, jurisdic. tion,' &c. Another section provides—' Thht it shall he lawful for the courts of the United States, or any of them, to authorize any reason or persons to act as bona. missioner or commtssioners under the provisions of this Act,' &o. The commissioner before whom the proceed ing! wet% had has not been appointed under, and in par swarice of this Act of Congress as one of the officers to , carry into execution the provisions of the treaty, but acted in pursuaec® of his powers derived from an ap pointreent underprodous Acts of Congress, for the dis charge of other special and limited duties; and were it not for a contrary opinion expressed by the Learned district judge sitting in the circuit, I should have enter tained a very decided opinion that he possessed ho power under the Act of 1848 to entertain the proceedings in question, and that an appointment by the Court, in pursuance of the power conferred by that Act, was es sential to give the , commissioner jurisdiction. It is said, however, that, admitting the commissioner possessed no jurisdiction under and in pursuance of the Act of 1848, still he was competent to act under and by virtue of the power conferred by the treaty, independently of the A ct of Congress, and that the limitation of authority by th at Act would not control the provisions of the treaty, even if in conflict with them. We have seen that, accordi ng to the treaty, the respective judges and other magi. stratea of the two Governments' are empowered to arrest and examine the fugitive; and the argument is that the commissioner is a magistrate of the G o v ern . ment of the United States within the eenenning of the treaty. Besides taking bail and depositions of witnesses in civil vines, these officers, the Act of Congress of the 23d "nn August, 1842, ar© authorised to arrest offenders for any cr i me , or offence against the United States, and imprison or bail the same. ihe thirty-third ( 33 ) section I of the Judiciary Act conferred the iamb power upon justices of the peace of any of dne sates. The possession of these powers by the ceettknissioner whose proceedings are in question, reattituted him, as alleged, a magistrat e within the teanis of the treaty, and by virtue of which, us such. Magistrate, he had a right to act in the premises notwithstanding the omission, if not exelusio'n, of these ' , Meets by the terms of the Act of Congress passed to carry into execution the provisions of the treaty. Whether or not this view will sustain the competency of the commissioner to act under the treaty, indepen dently of any power conferred upon him by the Act of 1842, i s a question upon wh i c h I d o no t p ro p ose , at t hi s . time, to e x p ress an opinion. I t i s su ffi c i e nt to s a y t h at is one, at least, involved in much difficulty and doubt, and well deserves the consideration and judgment of the Supreme Court. If the a sound ono, it would seem to follow that any view. is ofthe in justice veral "aloe, possesses the like power to arrest and commit uuder the treaty, byvirtue of their characters as magistrates derived under the aaopowers conferred from the 1789. We can sectionhardly suppose of the Judiciary Act . of y suppose this to have been the intention of the framers Another ground . of objectien to the je e i c a 9f the treaty. Tc - tion of the commissioner is, that it %YDS not ahoten before this officer, previous to the institution of the proceedings, pending the same, that the Government of Great or ' Britain, or any officers au.. thorized by the Government , had applied, or made a . THURSDAY demand, for the arrest of wine under the treaty; and that an application on behalf of that Government was essential to give jurisdiction to act in the matter. The treaty provides, 'That the United States and her Bri tannic Majesty, s h a ll, upon mutual requis i t i ons by them, or tear ministers, sheers, or euthorities,' In this, case the applicatien tor the arrest, was accompanied by a request from the British Consul, resident in the city of New Yo r k, w hi ch would seem to b r i ng t h e case within the word s o f t h e treaty. The Act o f C on gress is silent on the subject. Th e language of t he treaty is very broad, a n d, if construed literally, wo uld confer authority upon any o ffi cer of the Br i t i s h Government, however subordin a t e , and whether c i v il or military, to make th e necessary requisition upon th i s one f o r the arrest of th e f ugitive, and so in t h e case of a requisition of this Government upon Great Bri tain. But this can hardly be the true construction to be given to the treaty. There must be some limitation in respect to the officers of the respective Governments authorised to make the requisition. There may be some Gifficulty in settling this limitation, in the absence of any regulation by Act of Congress. Perhaps the true con struetion may b e , th at the requisition stall be made by the Governme n t t h rough the usual organs by which tne one holds communication with the other, or by any Minister or officer specially authorised by such Govern ment to make th e same. It would scarcely resin fit, as it respected either Government, that this power to claim, as prosecutor, an arrest and committal of the supposed fugitive, should be lodged in the hands of every and any officer of the same, who might choose to act in the matter. The Act of Congress provides that in eve r y case of complaint, and of hearing upon the return of the warrant of arrest, copies of the depositions upon which an original warrant in any such foreign country may have been granted, certified under the hand of the person or persons issuing such warrant, and attested upon the oath of the party producing them to be true copies of the original depositions, may be received in evidence of the criminality of the person so appre hended. This provision makes copies of the depositions used before a foreign mag i strate, who may have issued A warrant there ag a i nst the offender, certified by said magistrate, and proved t o b e true copies of the original, 'competent evidence herore the magistrate hero acting under the treaty. The Act of Congress, doubtless, con- templates that the copy of the depositions shall be certi fied by a magistrate in a foreign country, of competent jurisdiction to issue the warrant there for the offence, and to commit for trial and punishment; and to make these evidouce at all before the magistrate here, under the requisition, it should be first shown to his satisfac tion, by competent proof, that the person issuing the warrant and certifying the depositions possessed the re quisite jurisdiction. %Without such jurisdiction the whole proceeding in the foreign country would be coram non judici, and void. Upon the whole, without pursuing the ca.e any further, I am satisfied, upon the view I have taken of the several questions presented, but more especially the first one, involving the power of the C ot o usettlingin pursuancethe construction o f; o as t o o f the a commissioner, as we ll as on account of the importance versies and delay s h erea f ter i n these proceedings, it is fit and prope r th at t h ese questions should be submitted y voi a cl ud co act ntro o - f to the consideration and judgment of the Supreme Court. As I have already stated, the commitment of the prisoner stands upon the authority of the commis sioner, the Circuit Court being of opinion that it was legal and v a lid, an d reman di ng the prisoner to custody under that o r d er . I s h a ll t h erefore allow the habeas corpus, making it returnable before myself, and when the return is made formally by the marshal (the sub stance of which is now before me in the preliminary application), I shall direct an order to be entered, in consequence of the difficult and important questions in volved, that the case be heard before all the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, in bank, at the beginning of the next term of said court. As the making up of the record will be matter of form, it will not bene cessary that the prisoner be brought up on the return o the writ before me, but remains in custody till the fins disposition of the case." We extract the two following articles as evidence of the more reasonable tone taken by the press than by the statesmen of the United States. The first is from the Morning Eapress, the second from the New York Herald : " Thomas Kaine, an Irishman, in prison in this city, claimed by England as a fugitive from justice, if con victed of wounding with intent to murder, will be exe cuted; but if of wounding without intent to kill, will be transported for life. The demand is that he be returned to England for trial, in order that the fact of innocence or guilt as to the one or the other offence may be dis covered. There is no manner of doubt in our minds that his offence was a wilful one, and it amazes us to see the attempt made in this community to metamorphose this man into a political martyr. There would be as much propriety in making martyrs of the men recently arrested for murder, and soon to be tried for that offence. By enlisting their sympathies in b e h a lf of such persons, men show a t ota l destitution of interest and feeling where sympathy is really due. Indeed, intelligent men can have no sort of charity for exertions put forth in behalf of such a culprit. They originate either in gross ignorance or in a spirit of demagoguism, and we suspect it to be rather the latter than the former. " The London Times discusses the question of extra dition in an article copied into the impress, the tone of which we like. It draws a wide distinction between po litical offences against a Government and crimes against morality. It defends what we are happy to say has generally been the practice of. the British Government in affording shelter for and protection to all sorts of politi tieal offenders. One year it has been Louis Napoleon, and the next Louis Philippe. To-day it is Metternich, and to-morrow Kossuth. Now it is the butcher Hay public opinion ; a n d now nau, except wh e n h e ventures a little too much upon Maizini, the Italian leader. We behold in on e season the whole brood of the French monarchy—xi -.Kin g , Queen, Princes, and Princesses; and the next season comes the other brood of the French Provisional Rep u bli can Government. And so it has been, and to the great honour of the British nation, we think, almost from time immemorial. " To couple a protection for such men with a regard for those who kill and wound, and who commit theft and arson, is to cease to be able to draw a distinction be tween the polities of a country and the criminal code. " It is the peculiar glory of this nation that it gives complete political freedom to the people of every nation under the sun who con f orm to its laws. There are men of foreign birth in th e U nited States Senate, House of Representatives, up on t h e bench, in State Lgislatures, and in almost every pl ace of honour and trust. Th e Presid e n c y o f th e U n i ted States is alone saved exclu - 1 surely to the native A mer i can, but this high off i ce i s open to the son of th e c iti zen of foreign birth as much as to those whose anc es t o r s f orthed the first settlements on Massachusetts Bay or th o J ames Elver'. " Forei gners among us should feel and appreciate t h e extreme liberality o f A merican institutions, and be among the for emost to brand as enemies of themselves and of their adopted country all those who endeavour to make political opinions and conduct one and the same thing with personal crimes and misdemeanors.'' h " It appears th at the precipitancy of Mr. Webster i n issuing his codfish p roc l amation from Marshfield d id no t Meet te approval o f th e President, it being out of the usual order of the business of the State De partmetit, which generally bears the endorsement ' By, the President,' before the signature of the Secretary o f State. And so the President has requested his Secre tary, to return to Washington, and proceed to business in a business-like eff!,y i whi c h , i t is said, in a fern days he intends to do. Meanwhile the Executive has n ° " 6ed Congress of the dispatch' of the Mississippi war steamer to the, farina banks; had sent tip All the docu ments; mews; and they have had a war-like discussion over somewhat giving notice of the presence of a them in the Senate, including the note of Mr. Cramt 3 : ive fleet in the disputed waters.

At Barcelona, a few days ago, one of the assistant executioners was placed iu gaol for some offence, to undergo three months' imprisonment. When he ap peared in the yard amongst the other prisoners, the greater part of them raised a loud cry of indignation, and proceeded to expel him. A few took his defence, and a regular battle ensued. After it had raged for some time, the Alcade presented himself with some soldiers, but the men treated his remonstrances with contempt. The officer of the guard arrived with 32 men, and made them load their muskets. The pri soners responded by a volley of stones; thereupon the soldiers fired, and several of the prisoners were killed, and more wounded; the others fled in terror to the arcades which surround the yard. At length the General commanding the garrison, and some other high dignitaries arrived, and by their orders the re volters retired to their respective cells. Thirty of the ringleaders in the riot were subsequently lodged in dungeons.

The Plenipotentiaries of the States of the Coalition of Darmstadt broke up their conferences at Stutt gart, on the 14th, after agreeing upon a note in re ply to Prussia, which is cou c h e d i n the most conciliatory terms. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 16th announces that the re-opening of the Custo ms , gress, which was to have taken place on that day, had been postponed for a few days. A letter from Presburg, of the 13th, in the Presse of Vienna, says—" The reception given to the Era- PEROR at his return here was exceedingly brilliant. His MAJESTY proceeded, in the midst of an immense crowd, to the palace of the Primate. To-morrow there will be a grand review, and, at three in the afternoon, his MA3ESTY will leave for Vienna." The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Trieste of the 10th, which says—" The Norara frigate and the Cerie steamer left this port last night, so that there is not a single vessel here now. The order to depart arrived from Vienna the day before yesterday by telegraph. The most contradictory rumours are in circulation concerning this departure ; the Com modore, it is certain, has departed on sealed orders, which he is to open when out at sea. It is believed that the vessels are to proceed,to , the Bay of Cattars, and a conflict with the Turks is apprehended. Aus trian Dalmatia is cut on two points by the Turkish territory, which goes down to the coast. According to a dispatch from the Austrian Governor of Zara, a Turkish battalion wants to erect batteries on the coast.

Large bills have been posted up in Bru sse l s and all the principal towns of Belgium, in the form of an address from the Typo graphic Committee to all persons interested in the printing trade, and indeed to the public generally, calling upon them to protest loudly against a measure, which, if adopted, would destr o y an i mportant branch iof industry n Belgium, and expressing a hope that the example or the representatives of Holland on the same subject will be followed by the Belgian Chamber of Representatives.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUR. SIR --Ono cf the best day's racing ever known et York came off yesterday on the Knavesnaire. The Reaper opened the ball by winning the Duadas Stakes, after a pretty finish will Farmer's Boy and Merry Peal. The favourite, Radulphus, finished a good fourth. After PaAly Bird had won the Chesterfield Handicap very cleverly by a length, the owner of Puritan, the se cond horse, obj ected to him on the groun d o f a cross , an d for carrying short weight, averring that as the winner of the Patahull Handicap at Wolverhampton he was bound to carry 7lbs extra ; which cannot, however, be the case, as that stake, exclusive of the winner's sub scription, amounted only to 1901., whereas it must be 2001. to incur the penalty; so without the cross can be substantiated—which, by the bye, occurred opposite the Stand—the objection must fall to the ground. I believe the case will go before the S tewards to-day. Return i ng to the starting point, the race Paddy Bird defeated Puritan by a length ; th e race , in from the half distanco being entirely confined to this couple. The Saxon finiahed a very so-so third; Lady Agnes, Tom Holtboy, and St. Michael were next, and the Prime Minister brought up the rear in the inglorious position of last. The Yorkshire Oaks Adire carried off cleverly enough by half a length from Evadne; these two having it till to themselves from beginning to finish. Bi r d. on _ the _ Wing was a bad third, Ammonia a worse fourth, Kate fifth, and Snowdrop last. The appearance of the Derby winner for the Ebor St. Leger frightened all competitors out of the field but the descendant of Lunacy—Frantic. The race was a curious affair, D an i e l O'R our k e ta ki ng th e l ea d at starting, and in a canter keeping it for half the distance; then Frantic went to the fore, had al the rest of it to himself, and won in, what is called in the sporting vernacular, a c ommon cant e r b y t h ree l engths. Thi s can t er in g a ff a ir, over two m il es of ground, five minut es and fifty seven seconds. One would think from such a specimen of they managed to accomplish in pace that they were out st ex ercise. 3 to 1 was betted on Daniel for this race; and after he had lost it no one would' lay more than 6 to 1 against him for its Doncaster progenitor, evidently bear ing in mind the peculiar running of Newminster last year at York and Doncaster. Mem—l think 6 to 1 Majesty's Good decidedly woo dr . ip n ae e tre o f o f i .veil worth tski ng about 13 i for i,ho Gr ea t St. L eger . race er re pKe for e g repeated hton, r a t m h :a: : b i e d e .s t h a ll e i o i r here thesbeys o h: a a h v i i s n g ) e w . e t i % n r e: ping with consummate ease. Sittingbourre, as was generally expected, carried off the Convivial Stakes neatly from Nicotine and agood field of you ngsters. g Tho belling Stakes was a good speculation for the fund, Needle, the winner, having been entered to be s ld for 301, after a somewhat easy victory, found so o 0 many admirers, that he was disposed of for 190 soya., thus realising 160/. for the fund. The fields fur to-morrow's races aro as follow— The Filly Sepling Stakes—Comfit, Vaultress Nicotine, Charity, and filly by D on J ohn, out of Con_ spiracy. NICOTINE and VAULTRESS Will finish first and second. Great Yorkshire Stakes—Stockwell, Killarney, ne t , Maidstone, Womersley, Evadne or King of Trumps, Hafed, end perhaps one of Scott's. Augur is a doubtful starter, and Songstress does not run. I can discover nothing to beat STOCKWELL; and I think Maidstone is into the second or thi r d tolerably certain of running piece. Gimcrack Stakes—Lambton, Pitfall, Young Beverlac, Bell-tinker, Eliza, Sc. Andrew, Miss Emma, and perhaps Nicotine. It Nicotine should not start for the Fitly Sapling Stakes she can hardly be beaten for this race; but as her running is very doubtful, I must look to LAMBTON and PITFALL for the occupants of the first two places, and put Young Beverlac third. The starters for the York Cup I cantot name, for a very good reason, that I only know of one certain runner —Barcelona; who, however, I expect will be about win ning. Paddy Bird looks the best among the doubtfuls. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Aug. 19. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING. a a l sC in n n etshae, course'eVED N E o S f D A t h er e , F l a o s u t et t o w ' e C n a t Tt f 0 . u r The a ß rr A iv c hours have been more numerous than have been known at an Autumu ginhering at York for some years, and, coupled with the excellence of the programme, warrant the expectation of a busy and interesting meeting. The weather is now, and for some days pest, has seen so fine that, but for a heavy shower or two last night, the course would have been very hard. A little more rain would materially improve its condition. In the arrangements for the conduct of business on the course, we have ne change to report; we must compliment the management, however, on the great service they have rendered the betting fraternity by engaging and opening the Do Grey Rooms, for their accommodation during the raees. We have no hesitation in saying, that they are the most spa cious and convenient for the purpose in the kingdom. The extension of the wires of the Electric Telegraph Company to the Grand Stand, under the superintend ence of the local manager, Mr. De Chesnel, is a proof of a determination to keep pace with the times, and supply the increasing wants of the racing community; the in strument has been in full occupation during the whole afternoon. We have only time to add to our brief preliminary, that the course is very fully attended, and that the sport has been all that could be desired.

T j amEripous TnuNDERsToRM.—On Tuesday night the metropolis was visited by a terrific storm of thunder and lightning. About twenty minutes before twelve o'clock a frightful clap of thunder burst over the City, so alarming as to arouse those who were asleep, and to cause the greatest consternation among those awake or in the street. The shock 0 7er St. Bartholomew's-close was so great that people rushed out of their houses in dismay, each expecting that their neighbos`ir's house was down, or t h at the old church had fallen. '1?:e shock was so tremendous that the very houses vibrated as though by a shock of earthquake and to, an ex tent to alter the action of the clocks. There is very little doubt that an aeroilte fell in the vicinity of the church, for, as Mrs. Smith, the wife of an artificial flower-stamp maker, in Cloth-fair, adjoining the church, was closing the window, she was struck back, and was rendered almost senseless by the sulphuric vapour., The storm, as respects London, ap pears to have expended its fury over this spot, as, soon after , the peals of thunder and lightning gradually diminished.
