We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Monitcur publishes a Est, cf the PnsideLts, Vice-Presidents, and Secretaries of the Councils- General. The Archbish;.p 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 Phi d€s Hanes. The Moniteur contains a decree, obliging all ves scls 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 fete of the 15th instant, gave a grand dinner to his colleagues and the members of the corps dip loinatique. Monseigneur GARIBALDI, the Papal Nuncio, Lord COWLEY, and the Ministers and Chargé d'Affaires 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 Nuncio, in the name of the corps, proposed the health of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, to which M. DROUYN DE Luurs replied by a toast "to the Sove, reigns and Governments whose representatives he had the honour to see around him." The _II oniteur 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 citiz ns to seek the means of preventing new catastrophes and to put an end to a state of things which, by throwing doubt over all affairs, still checks the spirit of induitry, commerce, agriculture, and credit, the council expresses a hope that, in virtue of the terms of the Constitution, a senatus consults will propose to the suffrage of the nation the re-establishment of the hereditary empire in the person of Louis Napolesn." The council of arrondissement of Toulouse desires— " That the Senate, penetrated with a conviction of existing circumstances and with a view to the interests of the country, will seek for the most proper means of consolidating in the hands of the Prince President the power that he holds under the national will." Ths Council of Muret expresses a desire that sta bility maybe given to the power of which Louts 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 Amiens and Bar-le-Duc express themselves in similar terms. That of Mirecour, 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 TUE DAY OF 16TR 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 marceuvres, 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. " Islarquis da LAWOESTINE, " General Commanding in Chief. " A.

SPAIN, We have received the Madrid journals of the 13th. The Gazette publishes a Royal decree appointing M. VENTURA DIAZ Governor of Madrid, and also a decree placing vessels of the Republic of the Equator in Spanish ports on the same footing as to navigation dues as those of Spain. At Barcelona, a few days ago, one of the assistant executioners was placed in gaol for some offence, to undergo three months' imprisonment. When be 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. T ringleaders in the riot were subsequentlyhi Thirty of the dged in dungeons. The executioner's assistant w ill treated at the beginni ng o f th e f ray that his life is in danger.

The Plenipotentiaries of the States of the Coalition of Darmstadt broke up their conferences at Stutt gart, on the 14th, after agreeing upon a no t e i n reply to Prussia, which is couched in the most conciliatory terms. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 16th announces that the re-opening of the Customs' Con gres. 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 EM PEROR at his return here was exceedingly brilliant.

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. The works have been even commenced, and the Aus trian Government maintains that it has a right to pro test against that act. This is the cause of the vessels taking their departure ; it is intended to call for the suspension of the works." BELGIUM. A letter from Brussels states that the ultra-Liberal party are using great efforts to get up an excitement in the Chamber of Representative!, which will render it difficult if not absolutely impossible for the Belgian Government to carry the proposed measure against literary piracy, which has been stipulated for by the French Government as one of the conditions of the new international treaty. Large bills have been posted up in Brussels 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 destroy an important branch of industry in Belgium, and expressing a hope that the example of the representatives of Holland on the same subject will be followed by the Belgian Chamber of Representatives. ITALY. The Minister of the Interior at Turin has issued a circular, dated the 7th, recommending the Intendents- General of the provinces to organise the national guard in the rural districts, which, he regrets to say, has been hitherto much neglected.

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, Bence for New York, at 5 50 r.sr. on the 7th. The Royal mail steamship Niagara, Stone, com mander, arrived at Boston on the Gth 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 bad 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's, New 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 subject s . B u t I am o f th e same o pinion with your Lordship—averse to impose a tax on the whole community to benefit one particular class, for a trade requiring a bounty (I mean a continued one), will turn out to be a fictitious one. Our neighbours, and the French Government, will fled out this in due 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 encourage ment by the Legislature to give premiums, as they very properly do, for improvements in agriculture 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 best remedy that can be applied in the present state of Prince Edward's Island. As to the fisheries, about which I have troubled your Lordship so much, 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 fur 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 be easily and amicably adjusted; and if that could be ac complished, nothing, I think, would tend more to cement amity and 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 polonial fishermen from the en croachments of the Fiench. 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 Keine, Judge Nelson had 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 States' 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 KAINE, CLAIMED AS A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE, UNDER THE TREATY BE TWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN OF THE 9TH OF AUGUST, 1842. " Nelson J.—This is an application on the relation of Maine, 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 bitween 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 marshal 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 t h e a uthorities of Great Britain, as a fugitive from justice, having been subsequently rev ised an d confirmed by the Circuit Court, I have declin ed g ranti ng the writ of habeas corpus, or taking any s te p 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 commissioner, 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 say, also, that I have entertained the case and called for these proceedings, not with a view to an ori ginal hearing of the matter on habeas corpus for the purpose of passing any opinion upon the legality or illegality of commitment by the commissioner, or with a view to a decision of the order of commitment by th e Circuit Court, and a final disposition of the same at chambers; but solely for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the questions involved, or any of them, were of a character so difficult and doubtful, and their final determinat ion b y the highest authority was of suffi cient public inter est 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 appropria te sub j ects of examination in the exer cise of its appellat e powers. od•7 wh , 38; 3 Peters, 193 ; 7 ib., 568 ; and 5 How., 189, thislion(3iog a C raati n pect, and with thi s u e e h g , m 4 i 4 o B o ; 4 is, ib t . o , 75; the view,ile9o.oa, 1 ) i t ; y L fio o ef o d k thetihn g o fi a r t eta the se commitment by the commi ss i oner ( an d the lawfulness of the d etention of the prisoner depends commitmenttcase , aied was void. on this, as will be s een hereafter), namely, that ho pqouseseetsisyedthnaot jurisdiction warrant The treaty provides ' that the respective jud g es and other magistrate s of the two Governments shall have power, jurisdiction, 86e.' to issue a warrant,' &c.

The commissioner before whom the proceed ings were had has not been appointed under, and in pur suance of this Act of Congress as one of the officers to carry into execution the provisions of the treaty, b ut acted in pursuance of his powers derived from an ap pointment under previous 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 decide d opinion that he possessed no power under the Act of 1848 to entertain the proceedings in question, and that en 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 n o 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 Act of Congress, and that the limitation of authority by s that Act would not control the provisions of the treaty, oven if in conflict with them. We have seen that, according to the treaty, ' the respective judges and other m agi . strates of the two Governments are empowered to arrest and examine the fugitive; and the argument i s that the commissioner is a magistrate of the Govern ment of the United States within the meaning o f tne treaty. Besides taking bail and depo s i t i ons of witnesses in civil cases, these officers, b y the Act of Congress of the 23d of Au g ust, 1842, are authorized to arrest offenders for any crime or offence sgain,st the United States, and imprison or bail the same. The thirty-third (33) section of the Judiciary Act conferred the same power up on justices of the peace of any of the states. The possession of these powers by the commissioner whose proceeding s are in question, constituted him, as alleged, a magistrate within the terms of the treaty, and by virtue of which, as such magistrate, he had a right to act in the premises notwithstanding the omission, it not exclusion, of these officers by the terms of the Act of Congress passed to carry into execution the provisions of the treaty. Whelher 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.; a question upon which I do not propose, at this time, to express an opinion. It is sufficient to say that it is one, at least, involved in much difficulty and doubt, and well deserves the consideration and judgment of the Supreme Court. If the view is a sound one, it would seem to follow that any justice of the in the se veral states, possesses the like power to arrest and commit under the treaty, by virtue of their character,. as magistrates derived from the powers conferred under the 33d section j" - • Act of don of the uotelar3 1789. We can hardly suppose this to have been t he i n tention of the framers of the treaty. Another ground of ohjection to the jurisdiction of the commissioner is, that it was not shown before this officer, previous to the ' institution of the proceedings, or pending the same, that the Government of Great iritain, or any officers au therized by the Government, had applied, or made a !demand, for th e arrest of Keine under the treaty; and that au application on behalf of that Government was essential to give jurisdiction to act in the matter. Ihe treatta nnic; p m ro o j v e id A c y •s : LT a h n, a t ep t ot e m U ut r e ti a te l d re S tiu ta isi te t s je a n n s d b h y er th l e s m ri: or their mini s t ers, o ffi cers, or authorities, &C. In thii case the application for the arrest was accompanied by a request from the British Consul, resident in the city of New York, which would seem to bring the case within the words of the treaty. The Act of Congress is silent on the subject. The language of the treaty is very broad, and, if construed literally, would confer authority upon any officer of the British Government, however subordinate, and whether civil or military, to make the necessary requisition upon t hi s one f or the arrest of th e f ug i tive, and so in t h e case o f a requisiti on o f t hi s Government upon Great Bri tain. But this can h ardly be the true construct i on to be given to the treaty. There must be some limitation in respect to the officers of the respective Governments authorised to melee the requisition. There may be some difficulty in settling this limitation, in the absence of any regulation by Act of Congress. Perhaps the true con tshtreuGcteiovenrmnmaeernbt e t , h t r h e a u t gh th t e h r e eq ue u u is a i l tio e n rge s e ba s y l h l be made by one holds com mun i cation with the other, or b y any Minister or offi cer spec i ally authorised by such Govern ment to make th e same. It would scarcely seem fi t, as it respected eith er G overnment, that this power to c l a i m , as prosecutor, a n arrest and committal of the suppose d fugitive, should be lod ge d i n the hands of every an d an y officer of the same, who m i g h t c h oose t o act in n tee e matter. The Act of Congress provides that in every 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 magistrate, who may have issued a warrant there against the offender, certified by said magistrate, and proved to be true copies of the original, competent evidence befor e the magistrate here acting under the treaty. The Act o f 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 evidence 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 certifyi ng t h e 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 case 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 commissioner, as well as on account of the importance of settling the construction of the treaty and act of Congress in pursuance thereof, so as to avoid contro versies and delays hereafter in these proceedings, it is fit and proper that these questions should be submitted 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 valid, and remanding the prisoner to custody under that order. I shall therefore 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 be ne cessary that the prisoner be brought up on the return of the writ before me, but remains in custody till the final 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 Express, the second from the New York Herald " Thomas Keine, 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 bo exe cuted; but if of wounding without intent to kill, wiil 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 behalf of such persons, men show a total 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 E-szpress, the tone of which we Eke. It draws a wide distinction between po litical offences against a Government and crimes against morality. It defends what wo are happy to say has generally been the practice of the British Government in affording shelter for and protection to all sorts of politi tical 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 nau, except when ho ventures a little too much upon public opinion ; and now Mazzini, the Italian leader. We behold in one season the whole brood of the French monarchy—King, Queen, P r i nces, and Princesses; and the next season com es the other brood of the F renc h Provisional Republi can Government. And so i t h as been, and to the great honour of the British nation, we think, almost from time immemorial. AA 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 politics 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 confor m to its laws. There are men of foreign birth in the United States Senate, House of Representatives, upon the bench, in State Legislatures. and in almost every p l ace of honour and trust. The Presidency o f th e U n i ted States is alone saved exclu sively to the native American, but this high o to the son of th e c i t i zen of foreign birth as much as to those whose anc estors formed the first settlements on Massachusetts Bay o r th e James River. " Foreigners among us should feel and appreciate t h e extreme liberality o f American institutions, an d b e among the for emost to brand as enemies of themse l ves and of their adopt e d country all those who endeavour t o ffice is open make political opinions and conduct one and the same thing with person a l cr i mes and misdemeanors. " " It appears that the precipit anc y of Mr. Webster in meet the approval of the President, it being issuing his codfish proclamation from Marshfield did not t out of the usual order of the business of the State ,B De partment, which generally bears the endorsement Y the President,' before the signature of the Secretary of State. And so the President has requested h i s Secre tary to return to Washington, and proceed to business d B in a business-like way, whi c h , i t i s sa id, in a few days ho intends to do.

SPORTING NOTES. DANIEL O'ROURKE'S DEFEAT, AND THE PROBABLE STARTERS FOR TO-MORROW'S RACES AT YORK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—One of the beat day's racing ever known at York came off yesterday on the Knavesmire. The Reaper opened the ball by winning the Dundas Stakes, alter a pretty finish with Farmer's Boy and Merry Peal. The favourite, Radulphus, finished a good fourth. After Paddy Bird had won the Chesterfield Handicap very cleverly by a length, the owner of Puritan, the se cond horse, objected to him on the ground of a cross, and for carrying abort weight, averring that as the winner of the Patshull 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 1904, whereas it must be 2001. to incur the penalty; so without the cross can be by the by e , occurre d oppos i te t h e objection onmust fall to t h e groun d . I b e li eve substantiated —which, hi — the case will go before the Stewards to-day. Returning to the starting point, the race, Paddy Bird defeated Puritan by a length ; the race i n from the half distance being entirely confined to this couple. The Saxon finished a very so-so third; Lady Agnes, Tom Iloltboy, and St. Michael were next, and the Prime Minister brought up the rear in the inglorious position of last. The Yorkshire Oaks Adine carried off cleverly enough by half a length from Evadne; these two having it all to themselves from beginning to finish. Bird-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, Daniel O'Rourke taking the lead at starting, and in a canter keeping it for half the distance; then Frantic) went to the fore, had all the rest of it to himself, and won in, what is called in the sporting vernacular, a common canter by three lengths. This cantering affair, over two mil es o f ground, they managed to accomplish i n five minute s an d fifty seven seconds. One would think trom such a specimen of pace that they were out at 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 cf Newminster last year at York and Doncaster. Mem.—l think 6 to 1 well worth taking about him for the Great St. Leger. racere pe a f t e e r d h h e i r s M G n o r e d s w ty o , s o dpperformanceh a e ll re th by e w ha a v y i , ng - w t i h n e: /ling with consumm as at w e a e s ase. Sittingbourne, generally expected , carried off the Convivial Stak es neatly from Nicotine field of youngster s . and a g oo d The Selling Stakes was a good speculation for the fund, Needle, the winn er , h av i ng been entered to be sold for 301., after a somewhat easy victory, found so many admirers, that he was disp ose d of for 190 Boys., thus realising 1601. for the fund. The fields for to-morrow's races are as follow— The Filly Sapling Stakes—Comfit, Vaultress, Nicotine, Charity, and filly by Don John, out of Con spiracy. NICOTINE and VAULTREI3B will finish first and second. Great Yorkshire Stakes—Stockwell, Killarney, il ex , Maidstone, Womersley, Evadne or King of Trumps, Hided, and 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 tolerably certain of running into the second or third place. Gimcrack Stakes—Lambton, Pitfall, Young Beverlac, Bell-tinker, Eliza, St. Andrew, Miss Emma, and perhaps Nicotine. If Nicotine should not start for the Filly Sapling Stakes she can hardly be beaten for this race; but as her running is very doubtful, I must look to LADIBTON and PITFALL for the occupants of the first two places, and put Ycung Beverlac third. The starters for the York Cup I cannot 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. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. _ YORK AUGUST MEETING. RACE COURSE, WEDNESDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK. The arrivals in the course of the last twenty-four hours have been more numerous than have been known at an Autumn gathering 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 past, has been 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 no change to report; we must compliment the management, however, on the great service they have rendered the betting fraternity by engaging and opening the Da Grey Rooms, for their accommodation during the races. 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.

TREMENDOUS THUNDERSTORM. --011 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 over St. Bartholomew's -close was so great that people rushed out of their houses in dismay, each expecting that their neighbour's house was down, or that the old church had fallen. The shock b asw so tremendous that the very houses vibrated as though ya shock of earthquake, and to an ex tent to alter the action of the clocks. There is very little doubt that an aerolite fell in the vicinity of the church, for , as Mrs. Smith, the wife of an artificial flower-stamp 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 L"dn"after, ap pears to have expended its fury over this spota s, °° diminished. the peals of thunder and lightning gradually of affor ding TIMBER•LADEN SHIPS.—With a view issued by the every facility to the trade, orders have be . en o _ s od generally, Customs authorities that timber, and w°° : / maker, o'clock A.M. to six be allowed to be discharged from ber, and from sunrise to sunset from b e secured alongside to the 21st of March; the good s lced in barges or other craft), (the deals, battens, &c.. being . ? o'clock P.M., from the 21st of March s t i i e th 2 e ls 2 t ls e t f o s f e S p e te p m te b m e e r import ing vessel until passed 9 a a l i a te n r d s in b g bar e d ffi ed ce o r n s the within th ed d eth a we deposit being required of the and kept in charge of the k ti n legal hours of business; of the landing waiter or timber and also for the attendanc e t s h h e ould be necessary at extra hours goods at the regulated allow /3?seserngvteicnoeefsral, and is to be acted upon at all parties to remuneratetheaoflicers for their extra attendance, kingdom when required. the ports in the f m aour e c a t : hs u .e r e a r Td , mhi The order a t s h u e r i e r i CoLuMN.—Yesterday d THE NELSON . the in erecting scaffold for the purpose of busily enga ged last instalment of the artistic embellishment the last er ay work men were of the Nelson Column, on the west side, rall 'if: subject represents 'animating and di- Watson. - Nelson li is a fine alt r 1* o , in bronze, by Mr. It was cast at ei ght of the relievo is about four tons. id The w in's. gardens, he boarding of the San Josef, at Cape St. Vincent. the breadth about 13 the foundry of Messrs. hroore and Co., Ba w Leather-lane.
