Fortunatcly the mains of the East Loudon Company yielded an abundant supply of water, from which the firemen set their engines to work under the direction of Messrs. Fogo, Connorton, end Overton, but in spite of which the work of destruc tivsness continued, and eventually the roof and floors of the large house fell, and consequently the costly stock in trade fell along with them. The loss, it is expected, will exceed 20,000/4 and unfortunately the firm was insured for only 6,000/. The origin of the misfortune is enveloped in obscurity. THE VAST SCALE °four RAILWAY SYSTEM. Apart from its higher developments, a very few gross facts will show the position of the railway system in our country. It appears that up to the end of 1850 railway companies had raised a sum equal to 240 f millions sterling, and retained powers to raise a further sum of 122:• millions. In Jane, 1851, the number of persons employed on railways open for traffic was 63,500, and on those in course of construction 43,000. In the United Kingdom, 85i millions of persons travelled by railways in 1851, and paid eight millions sterling for doing so; while, for the transport of goods, seven other millions were paid, according to the official report of Captain Simmons, recently published. Look, too, at the Railway Clearing House, which may be described as representing all the railways in account with any individual line, and which has become a matter of enormous magnitude, with a business of the most elaborate character. About fifty companies are associated in this system, of which the public know nothing, though they owe to it facilities of the greatest value and importance. The in creasing amount and difficulty of the business transacted here, in settling the proportions to be paid and received by different lines in respect of the travellers and goods passing over more than one, will ultimately lead to amal gamation in one shape or other, even if other circum stances did not tend the same way. The public will have to protect themselves when this approaches. The companies, if they are wise, will make the present des potism so light that it may not be felt. Should they pursue an opposite policy, we may prognosticate, with out fear of failure, the ultimate assumption of all the lines by the State.---Builder. CRICKET. ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V. TWENTY-TWO OF BRADFORD AND DISTRICT.—This match was brought to a conclu sion at Bradford on Wednesday, when, to the astonish ment of not a few, it was found that the Eleven were vanquished in one innings by 50 runs, the score pre senting the following appearance: —Bradford, first innings, 180. The Eleven, first innings, 79; second ditto, 60. THE UNITED ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V. FIFTEEN OF SHEFFIELD.—This match was resumed at Sheffield on Wednesday, and upon being brought to its termination gave the subjoined result, by which it will be seen the "United Eleven" won by eight wickets. Sheffield, first innings, 110; second ditto, 37. United Eleven, first innings, 104; second ditto, 46. The United Eleven won by eight wickets. FATAL EFFECTS OF POACHING. —An inquest was held on Monday, by gt. M. Wilson, Esq., coroner, on the body of Thomas Bungay, of Plaitford. It appeared that the deceased, who was aged 20, went out with a lad three years younger than himself, named John Moore, n each ar af m ter ed noon. with a gun, for the purposes of poaching, on Sunday Having found a covey of partridges in a field in the occupa tion of Farmer Noble, they marked down a single bird in a hedgerow, and both fired on the bird's rising, John Moore lodging the contents of his gun in his companion's left side. Bungay called out, " John, what did you shoot at me for ?" and upon Moore's replying, " I don't know that I did," Bungay answered, " Yes, you did though," and after walking two or three yards fell down and expired in a few minutes. From the position of the wound it seemed probable that the charge had lodged in his heart. Verdict, " Homicide by misadventure."—Shetborne Journal. BniGwroN.—Our roadstead on Sunday exhibited a lively and picturesque scene. The Rolla gun-brig, and the Fernande, a beautiful yacht, belonging to Major Martyn, being anchored off the town, nearly all the boats on the beach, especially the row-boats, the sea being almost as placid as a lake, were engaged by parties anxious to visit her. From the shore the small boats near the brig looked like a swarm of bees around a hive. So many boats being engaged was attributable to the influx of excursionists. On Tuesday another yacht, the Violet, belonging to Sir Henry Blake arrived in our roads. She is a smaller craft than Major Martyn's. The brig and yachts sailed westward yes terday morning. It is in contemplation to get lup a Regatta Club in this town • and to invite the members of the West minster Regatta Club to join them in the formation of October matches, to take place off Brighton. The first meeting is to be held at the Royal Sovereign this evening. Brighton Gazes of yesterday. THE WEATHER AT GLASGOW.—The weather during the last three days has been warm, drying, and sultry , and all that could be wished for the completion of harvest operations. An immense quantity of victual has been cut over the entire country, and a short continuance of the present splendid weather will enable the husbandman to make it secure.— Glasgow Chronicle. TERMINATION OF THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. —Yes terday the whole of the men, about 150 in number, who were lately out upon strike, returned to their work—their employers, the Messrs. Smith and Pearse, of the Camden Town-road, having, at a meeting of the workmen, on Tues day, given their consent to the four o'clock movement. Yesterday the men held a meeting at Mr. Cheef 's, the Rail way Tavern, Maiden-lane, King's-cross, at which it was stated that numerous other parties were prepared and in tended to follow their example, if their employers refused to comply with their demands; viz., the concession of the four o'clock movement. A placard was also read, from which it appeared that the whole of the carpenters lately in the em ploy of the Messrs. Edwards, of the Lower-road , Islin g ton, in consequence of their being debarred from leaving off their employ at four o'clock on Saturdays, had refused to work; and it concluded by calling upon their fellow workmen to support them while out of employ. It was stated that nearly the whole of the large master builders of the metro polis and suburbs complied with the request of their work people when it was first mentioned to them. The customary vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. THE LATE MR. ALLEN, THE ARTIST. We are glad to hear that the City of London School has given fifty guineas to the widow and family (eight children) of their late professor of drawing, Mr. J. W. Allen, the well-known landscape painter, whose sadden death on the 29th ult. left them in such a state that it was found necessary to make an appeal to his friends and the admirers of art. The head master, the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, has also given ten guineas, a nd the other masters have made this sum up to thirty guineas. As 1,0001. would permanently benefit the widow and family of this gifted and truly English artist, a great effort is being made to raise this sum ; and we heartily wish well to this proper testimonial to the artist and the man. THE COURT. — We under s tand that her Majesty Minister a nd the Prince Conso r t were expected to attend off t , h , e annual ster in - Hig hl an d Braemar gathering, which " came day.

A detach ment of the 42d Highlanders, commanded by Captain Camp bell, is station ed at Balloter as a guard of honour during he Majesty's s • tay The infant Prince Arthur and the Princess Louisa remain at Osborne until the return of their illustrious parents, in charge of Lady Caroline Barrington. THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—The day fixed for the opening of this railway is Friday, the 17th instant, and not Thursday, the 16th, as has been stated by mis take in several journals. The directors will arrive at Swansea, on the 15th. Great preparations are being made for the occasion. A great scarcity of silver continues to be felt in mos t parts of the country, and in consequence of the sums taken by emigrants the demands on the part of some of the banks in the north h a ve been larger than could be met by the supplies from the Mint. ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The monthly meeting of this society was held at their rooms, 17, Old Bond-street, on the sth instant, J. 0. Westwood, Esq., F.L.S., president, in the chair. The ordinary donations of books, &c., were announced, and thanks ordered to be given to the respective donors. The specimens exhibited on this occasion were so varied and numerous that we can find space only to mention the most remarkable of them. Mr. F. Bond showed a box of Coleoptera, from the Mandarra River, New South Wales, 400 miles north of Sydney, containining various new forms including a curious cylindrical -shaped Scarites. Mr. S. Stevens exhibited some fine specimens of the sexes of Celli thee Sapphire, which had been bred by Mr. 11. W. Bates in the Brazils. The larva and pupa of this insect had also arrived in this country. Mr. Curtis called the attention of the members to a specimen of Sphinx Antonio, which had been bred in the gardens of the llorticultural Society at Chiswick from a box of plants from the Pitchlake, Trinidad, and remarked upon the caution with which we shoulind l th ook upon all extraordinary insects which have appeared is country at various times, as doubtless many such, like th e present, are only imported speci es, and alluded specially t those which have been taken at lighthouses. Mr. Edwin Shepherd exhibited a very fine specimen of Chile cicatricel lus, new to the British lists, taken last month on the cliff near Dover, along with two new species of jortrices, from the same locality. ROYAL ORTHOTXDIC HOSPITAL, BLOOMSBURY-, sQuaax.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the committee as of this charity was held in Bloomsbury-square. It w stated by the chairman that in consequence of the number of severe cases on the books, waiting their turn of admission for indoor treatment, a special appeal had been issued in behalf of the building fund with the view of extending the accommo dation of the hospital. There were no less than 300 cases too severe in their nature to admit of out-door treatment, and as the majority were growing more difficult, if not dan gerous, by delay, the committee were anxious to provide for their accommodation as soon as the funds would allow them to increase the number of beds. Her Majesty and Prince Albert had graciously and liberally aided the intended en largement; and a hope was expressed that the committee would shortly be enabled to carry out the design. The total number of patients cured of club-foot, deformed spine, and other contractions, since the foundation of the Royal Ortho apdic Hospital, it appears, exceeds 13,000, and there is now a constant attendance of 700hu pa nd tients, the average daily num b e r being upw ards of one red.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Ai° aiteur contains a decree from the PRESI DENT of the Republic, an d countersigned by M. DE MAUPAS, the Minister of Police, declaring the Paris journal the Corsairs to be suspended. The decree is dated the Bth instant, and ha s been issued,. it is be lieved, in consequence of a strong Legitimist article which the above-named jour nal published in its num ber of that day. " According to intelligence, " says the Moniteur, "received from the Governor of Guadaloupe to the 13th of August, the sort of effervescence which had manifested itself amongst the p arties which divide the colony had altogether subsided. The country en joyed perfect tranquillity:: Each of the Ministers in turn is, says the Patrie, to accompany the PRINCE PRESIDENT for a certain distance in his journey to the south. The Minister of Marine is to leave Paris on Sunday next for Cherbourg to attend the launch of the ship of the line the Austerlitz on the 15th. The Sicle has an article on the subject of the dimi nution of the interest on Treasury Bills and the pay ment of the twenty-five millions remaining due to the Bank of France. It merely proposes to treat it as a matter of business, nothing more. Looking, then, at the affair in a business point of view, it observes that the State cannot, like a pr:vate individual, come in for a legacy or find itself enriched by a sudden stroke of fortune. Consequently, the 700 millions floating debt which bad been ascertained and certified a couple of months ago remains where it was ; still it is happy to admit that taxes are more easily paid. The re duction of interest must then be taken as a sign of an excellent financial position, but of one which is tending towards a good position. If the hands of the Treasury be so full as that it can make its own terms, the reason, according to this paper, is that ca p italists, unwilling to engage in speculations of long date and subject to the risks of the future, are but too glad to invest their money in Treasury Bills, which are of short date and easily negotiable, and in this way the whole mystery is explained. This abundance of money, proceeding as it does from the savings-banks' deposits and other investments, will not relieve the Government from the necessity of diminishing public expenditure by bringing it down to an equality with income, and it joins in the pretty general cry for the reduction of the army. The Aloniteur announces that the Haitian Go vernment has paid 18,000 piastres (95,000 francs) to the Consul-General of France in satisfaction of cer tain demands which the French Government had made on it for losses sustained, and for indemnities due to French citizens. The Bulletin des Lois publishes a decree from the PRESIDENT of the Republic, opening an extraordinary credit of 150,000 f. to the Minister of the Interior, to be employed in the purchase of the materiel necessary for public fetes. This credit is granted on the ground that the present supply is quite inadequate and unfit for use. The Marquis DE LAEOCHEJAQUELEIN has addressed a letter to the Assemblee Nationale, which, after de claring that the address of the Council-General of the Deux- Sévres, which had been attributed to him by that journal, was proposed by General ALLARD, and signed by all the members present, proceeds as follows : "Prince Louis Napoleon, in doing me the honour to name me President, was well aware that I would never repudiate my principles; he was aware also that I had protested against the coup detat of December 2. I had, in fact, told him so myself. Since that period, I, like many others of my colleagues, was enabled to appreciate events and the situation of France; I had seen men and political parties closely enough to be convinced that, if the coup d'etat of December 2 had not taken place, I certainly should not have h ad the satisfaction of witness ing the triumph of my own opinions, but that we should have inevitably fallen into the hands of a faction, red or blue, which would have given us a regime of which I cannot say that I shou ld have in the slightest degree to ac k now l e dge the mildness. I did not desire to see the present Government, but it has the double merit in my eyes, first of preventing others from appearing which I should have infinitely less desired to see; and next, of will, having its basis on th e nationalof appealing to all the men of worth, who are willing to give their loyal and disinterested co-operation to the service of their country, without asking for any renunciation of their principles. Ido not think that Louis Napoleon would think himself honoured by the support of apostates." The Presse says— " The household of the Prince President of the Re public is at present being completed by the engagement of numerous domestics; but they are not to commence their service until the return from the journey to the southern departments. All the persons whom the Prince President employs have belonged to the corps d'ilite of the army, and especially to the carbineers." We read in a Paris letter in a Belgian journal— " I have before me a list of pardoned political offenders, who owe their liberty to M. Belmontet, deputy of the Lot-et-Garonne, under the most touching circumstances. M. Belmontet, whose fete was en the 25th ult., as his name is Louis, dined on that day with the Prince, whose, oldest friend ho is, and who formerly used to offer him a bouquet. Well, Belmontet,' said the Prince at the dessert what can I give you this year ?" Some par rd dons, Monseigneur answered the poet. Hum ! paons I' said Louis Napoleon ; but the persons whom I pardon treat me so prettily !" I answer, Monseigneur, for those whom I should have the honour to propose to you.' Well, lot us see your list.' Here it is, Mon seigneur.' The Prince read Constant, ex-avoue, of Castel Sarazin ; Berger, clerk to an avoue of the sam e place ; the brothers Delbert, tradesmen, of Moissac ; Lambert and Courtis, workmen of the same place. But that only makes six names !' remarked the Prince. Oh, Monseigneur, I have others !' and he read, Leygne, workman, of Castel Sarazin ; Vidaloque, apo thecary, of Agen; Talons, maker of sabots, at Toulouse; Floret, relative of the prefect of that name ; Manau, advocate, of Moissac'—and four others whose names 1 forget. Well !' said the Prince, give that to Roguet.' By this time tifteenproteges of M. Belmontet have been restored to their families, without conditions and without restrictions. Government securities were more firm at the Bourse.

The new loan of eighty millions of florins has been announced, and favou rabl y received on the Vienna Bourse.

The postponement of the treaty between Belgium and the Zollverein has been accorded to the 24th of December next, on the request of the Belgian Go vernment. The Hamburyh Correspondent of the Gth says— "On Friday last the editor of th e Re f orm, a localjournal, was summoned to the Town-hall, where the magistrates informed him that he would not be allowed in future to make allusions to Prince Louis NAPOLEON and his Government. The Reform had published an article on the ball at the Halle in Paris, and it had been formally complained of by the Minister of France to the Senate." The New Prussian Gazette of Berlin was seized on the Gth for an article criticising in very severe terms the policy of the Government. A letter from Berlin states that a prolongation of the treaty between Belgium and the Zolverein, has been granted to the 24th of December next, at the express request of the Belgian Government. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Ber lin, dated the Gth :—" A Catholic priest, named BRINDIN, from Greece, who has been here some time collecting subscriptions for the Catholic communes in Greece, has been ordered t o quit Berlin. This ex pulsion, the motives for which are not stated, has caused great sensation." The Prince Regent of BADEN . left Carlsruhe on the 7th for Vienna, instead of waiting, as had been anno unced, to visit the Emperor of AUSTRIA in Hungary. ---- S WITZERLAND.

The Zurich Gazette g ives an account of the won derful calculating pow ers of a blind youth named WINKLER, brought up at the blind school of cubic tinter stress. He lately gave a public exhibition of his peculiar talent, extracting square and cubic roots to the extent of five decimals with the greatest rapidity and correctness. He solved quadratic and equations also of the most difficult kind, and re peated a number composed of 71 figures, which had been written down and repeated to him once. He afterwards commenced the figures at the other end, and repeated them with perfect correctness. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE FRANKLIN. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 9.—The United States' mail steam-ship Franklin, Captain J. A. Wotton, arrived off Cowes this morning, and after landing the English mails and passengers proceeded on her voyage to Havre. The Franklin has 115 passengers, 13 only of whom were for England, and on freight specie value 451,500 dolls., of which 101,500/. is for London, the rema i n d er being for France. The freight list also comp r i ses 600 boxes of Indiarubber shoes and sundry merchandise. This steamer has experienced moderate easterly winds during the whole passage. On the Bth inst. she passed the barque Peningha m , b oun d ea st. The steamship Asia arrived ou t at N ew York on the 25th ult. The advices by the Franklin, which extend to the 28th ult. inclusive, contain three days' later intelli gence than that received by the last Liverpool pocket. The news is quite unimportant, and nothing further had transpired officially '2 iiith reference to the fisheries dispute or the Lobos Islands dif f iculty. The Journal of Commerce on the latter question publishes the subjoined remarks:— 'The 20 or 25 vessels which have left this country to load guano at the outer Lobos Islands can hardly be ex pected to come back empty. They will get guano some how, force, or it may be by we purchase.imla imagine; it m me a ri b t e by will be at the cost of blood, and may lead to serious differences between the two Go vernments; and in either ease it will begot a competition for the sale of the maoure between the owners of these cargoes when they arrive here and the agents the Pe ruvian Government, which will be disadvantageous to the latter, however advantageous to consumers. To disentangle the subject of these difficulties, would it not be well for the Peruvian Government to purchase the charters of said ships, if it can be done on reasonable terms, as we rather suppose it can, and then load them with guano on its own account, and consign them to i ts agents in this country? At the sam e t i me i t should , re duce the price of the article to s. reasonable figure, which would be as advantageous to its owl. revenue as to the consumers. The costliness of the article will prevent an extensive use of it in the United States, unless abated; whereas, if it were offered at prices for which it can be afforded, and yet leave a handsome revenue for the Peruvian Treasury, the consumption here would be quadrupled in a year, and quadrupled again in two or three years more. Tho effect wouk be to g i ve to that Government a much larger revenue in the aggregate than it receives at present , while a; the sa me t i me the cupidity both of individuals and nations w ou ld b e l es s tempted to insist upon doubtful rigits for the sake of obtaining the article gratuitously. " If Peru can quash the American claim, or secure an abandonment of it, by some concessions of this sort, so far as Lobos Afuera are concerned (no other islands are in dispute), she will find it much more economical on the whole than to maintain the force which will be necessary to prevent guano from being carried off by private ad venturers under a state of things lice th e present, and also more economical than to get int') a quarrel with the American Government. _ _ "We look upon this Lobos question as one of the many about which a good deal can be said on both sides. That much can be said in favour of .he A merican claim Mr. Webster has shown in his letter of th e 21st instant e M Pu i e n r ist v e i r a . n claim That i ll s u:hh also can be said Chown by the docu ments recently published in Englani, a n d , partly trans ferred to our columns, in connexiot with a communi cationitno the favour Peruvian o f t the from Mr. Riley, who, we believe, is agent of the Peruvian Government for the sale if guano. Now, if the case is really a doubtful one, if there are evidences of title more or less satisfactory in both sides, it is clearly one of those cases which might to be settled by mutual concession and compromi se. And the proper bases of a compromise, we conceive, are indicated above viz., let Peru bay up the charters of American vessels alread) departed for Lobos Afuera, and then let an arrangement be entered into between the two Governments by which hereafter the article shall be furnished at said , lands to American vessels at so much per ton, the prica being much below that now charged at the inner Lobes Island. Whether the vessels of other nations shall be furnished at the same rate is an affair between those nat i ons and the Peruvian Government, and therefor) we need not med dle with it. " Under such an arrangement Tern and her agents would still retain a monopoly of tie guano trade, bat under certain restrictions as it respects the deposits at the outer Lobos. She could still collect a revenue from the article, even greater than at present, on account of the greater quantity sent to market; any, if it suited her in terests best, she might close the inter Lobos to com merce until the deposits on the otter Lobos were ex hausted, if they over should be. " We throw out these remarks for the benefit of those whom it may concern. The leading idea which we wish to convey is the duty of an Amicable adjustment of the question on principles of equity, having refe rence to the degree of title or colour of title, which each nation may be able to present. We take it the United States Government does not wish to engage actively in this business, but only that t h o se wonderful dep os it s so long reserve d f or the refreshment of worn-out or poor lands may be placed within the reach of our farmers and shippers on reasonable terms. The title of Peru to Lobos Afuera must be very perfect indeed to justify her in locking up for ages and generations those elements of vegetation which are required for the sustenance of man and beast in various parts of the earth, and which, while lucked up, can he of no possible use to Peru or any other nation. We think the American title is at least suffi ciently gocd to neutralists any right which Peru may imagine herself to possess, thus to lock up in perpetuity or for an indefinite period, treasures deposited by sea birds on barren rooks in the wide ocean—which trea sures are now, and will continue to be, required for the sustenance of man. But, if she is disposed to recede from her miserly attitude in reference to these deposits, we trust she will be met by our Government in a liberal spirit. If she will open them to commerce on reason able terms, let her have the sovereignty over them, and the revenue derived from them." Accounts from Boston of the 26th ult. mention that the steamer Sir John Harv e y h a d a rrived there , bringing intelligence that Admiral Seymour had sailed for Prince Edward's Island. He was much praised in the colonies for his vigorous course on the fisheries question. The United States' steam -frigate ISTississippi sailed on the 19th ult. for the fishing grounds. The crops throughout the province are as great as ever before obtained. The mackerel fishery_ to the north of Prince Edward's Island was good, and the Nova Scotians were doing well.

SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCIII. THE DONCASTER MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Doncaster—the greatest meeting in the north, and the first in England in the opinion of the sporting inhabitants of the county of York—will be the great centre of attraction to the Turfite for four days of next week. The meeting this year is under the stewardship of Lord Ribblesdale, Mr. Lumley, and the Earl of Derby; the last-named, I understand, has signified hia intention of being present, having engaged rooms for the week. Tho bill of fare this year is equal, in amount of sport, to any , and m uc h b etter than most, of its predecessors. This is owing i n a great measure to th e ac tive exertions of Mr. Johnson, the indefatigable clerk of the course at York and Doncaster. The first day's list comprises five races: the second, five stakes and a match: the third, six races: and the last, eight stakes and a couple of matches; one of the latter, however, has the words "no day mentioned" affixed to it. The sport commences on Tuesday, as usual, with the Fitz william Handicap Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 50 added, for all ages, one mile, to close and name on Monday. Then follows the Champagne Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft; colts Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 51b. Red Homo in; five furlongs 125 yards. This stake has obtained thirty-one entries, of which not more than five, or six at the outside, will be found at the post. The field most probably will be composed of The Friar, the Reiver, Vindex, Comfit, and another or two. This race will, no doubt, be a highly interesting one, on ac. count of the antagonism of the unbeaten Vindex and Reiver. The Friar, though fancied by his owner, is not likely to b 3 backed by anybody else, and can have no reasonable chance of beating either of the cracks. Lord Z3tland's Comfit will run wall, but cannot in this pre sence win. The previous performances of Vindex, three iu number, have stamped him with a first-class charac ter. At Newcastle, with the olds on Lord Fauconberg, he won the Produce Stakes with great ease, beating the favourite by two lengths, and nearly half distance Ax well. On the following day, carrying 6st 121 b, he won the Grand Stand Stakes, beating Anteverta, Est 91b, by a neck; Lanabton losing the second place by a head. The Hecat e colt and Roger Thornton were beaten a hundred yards. This performance does not look quite so well as the first, as it may be said he only won after a sharp set-to; be, pounds to spare; however, to my knowledge, had and being on the muzzle two days in succession, is go o d enough reason, without any other, why his running this day should not be closely inquired into. His last appearance was at York, where he won the Colt Sapling Stakes in tho most (lathing sty l e Eulogist, Mr. Sykes i mag i nable, beatin Meea s i s npiFau, Youthful-days. The victory was accomplished by twu lengths, but might have been a dozen without much exertion upon his part. The ring had the temerity to lay sto 4 against him. For this race he must finish first or second. The renowned Reiver Will make his last appearance this year, in an essay for this stake. He, like unto Vindex, has already appeared in public thrice, his debut taking place at Ascot, where he won the Fourth Triennial Produce Stakes by a head from ch e d_ dar; beating also Auld Acquaintance and War whoop, who were close up ; and Veteran and the Cuckoo filly, who were a long way behind. Some people assert, that had not Cheddar swerved at the finish, he must have won. I dissent from this opinion, and think, with many others, that the closeness of the race was owing to the orders which Whitehouse received concerning the Reiver. The Reiver next ran at Newmarket, where he frightened all out of the field for the July Stakes, except Dove, Amazon, and Blue John, whom he, however, beat very easily, as he finished ten lengths ahead of Dove, who was a length in advance of Amazon, and both left Blue John far in the rear. His next appearance was on the following day, when he walked over for the 100 S oya. Sweepstakes. The Reiver's performances, on the whole, do not look quite so rosy as those of Vindex, but the result of the Champagne Stakes will, I think, prove that only equal, but superior, to Vindex. I should place the competitors thus: — THE REIVER VINDEX COMFIT FRIAR ... ... 4 The Great Yorkshire Handicap of 25 son. each, 15 it, &c., with 100 added; ono mile six furlongs and 132 yards; will, not improbably, be contested by Alonzo, Miss Ann, Alp, Scarecrow, The Knight of the Garter, Lerrywhent, Imagination, The Twin, and Infidelity filly. I have al ready given an analysis of this handicap, and as my opinion is not altered in the slightest degree, I must still declare my conviction that in the favourite, THE KNIGHT OF THE GARTER, will the victor be found; Scarecrow. Alonzo, and The Alp being his nearest attendants. Lerrywhent is much talked about, and said to be very dangerous. The Twin is reported to be not quite the thing; but whether that refers to health or anything else, I think it needless to say. The Selling Stakes of 5 sous. each, with 30 added, mile and a half, closes and names on Monday; and my opinion on the Stand Plato I shall reserve until that day. My remarks on the second day's races, including the St. Leger, will appear to-morrow.—l am, Sir, &c., Sept. 10. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

SECOND PARACHUTE ASCENT OF MADAME POl like beautiful ascent to that effected on Monday evening was made by the intrepid Madame Poitevin, at half-past six o'clock yesterday evening, from the grounds of Cremorne. The balloon pro ceeded in a westerly direction, and the parachute, be ing detached at an elevation of about three-quarters of a mile, descended gradually and securely, the fair voyager reaching terra firma in Richmond-park, where the balloon shortly after landed. Madame Poitevin returned to the gardens a little after eight o'clock, and was led on the stage of the theatre by Mr. Simpson, just before the termination of the ballet, her reception by the dense mass of spectators being of the most enthusiastic nature. On Monday, we understand, the immense balloon, e termed a Railway Ba lloon, will ascend to witness, affording than opportunity m the e aparty of persons car. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. r u o that BELFAST, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—The meetin g of the association at Belfast terminated to-day with the g e n T e h r e a I G m e n e e e t r i a n l g whichwa church. had been agreed to by the g eneral committee to be confirmed by the meeting. Th ese resolutions ref erred union at Hull, and to the grant s and recommenda tions Secretary held the in e s Dr. t i n Cooke's to the election of Mr. Hopkins as president of th e nex t proposed. The total of money g rants recom mended amounts to 3551., of which sum 2001. is appropriated for the maintenance of the Kew Observatory. The re , . mainder is to be appropriated in small sums, principally for the prosecution of i n vestigations already com menced. Among the grants for purposes of most general interest was 201, to Dr. Hodges for the continuation of his researches regarding the properties of fix. A grant of 101. was also recommended for dredging the north-eastern coast of Ireland. The question of the establishment of an observatory in the southern hemisphere is again to be pressed on the notice of the Government at the recommendation of the Association. The Assistant-General Secretary made a statement of the numbers of members and associates who have attended the present meeting, as compared with the numbers at Ipswich. The total amount received for tickets at Belfast has been 1,106/. ; at Ipswich it was 7111. The number of associates at Belfast has been 510, and of ladies 292 ; the respective numbers at Ipswich were 246 and 141. It will be seen, there fore, that, financially speaking, at least, the meeting at Belfast has been very successful. The Rev. Dr. Robinson, at the request of the president, undertook to notice the subjects which had been brought forward in the various sections which he had attended that he considered of most import ance. This he did in an address that occupied an hour and a half. There was only one of the subjects, he said, that had occasioned him any pain, and that was a paper relating to the sanitary statistics of Bel fast, which presented a lamentable want of attention to drainage and atmospheric purity. Dr. Robinson strongly impressed on the influential inhabitants of Belfast the importance of attending to this subject. The impurity of the atmosphere in Belfast is indeed most strongly manifest to the senses. A large stream into which the sewerage is emptied winds about in various directions through the town, emitting in its course, and to a great distance around, a pestilential effluvium. Attempts have been made to cover-in this open drain, and Acts of Parliament have been obtained for the purpose, but, owing to some disagreement among the parties the nuisance continues, and it is said it will continue until another Act is procured. Dr. Robinson, in the conclusion of his address, said that in his opinion, and in that of the oldest members of the Association, the present bad been the best meeting they had ever held, both as regarded the subjects brought forward in the sec tions and the interest they had excited in the mem ber attending. After thanks had been given to the President and to the local authorities and others who had contributed to the reception of the Association, the meeting separated. The excursions appointed for to-morrow are va rious. The most important is that to the Giant's Causeway, the harbour commissioners having placed a steam-boat at the disposal of the association for the accommodation of 100 members, strangers Jo Bel fast, gratuitously. Other excursions comprise drives to the many places in the neighbourhood which pos sess either geological, or antiquarian, or pictorial interest. The business of the association has, how ever, terminated with the meeting held this afternoon, and the return to the original order of proceedings, of making the excursions on an extra day, has not been generally approved. DEATH OF PROFESSOR MACOILLIVRAY, ABER DICEN.—We learn that Dr. W. blacgillivray, Professor of Natural History in Dlarischal College, Aberdeen, expired at his own house there, on Sabbath last, after an illness of some duration. Dr. Bracgillirray wus the author of many works on the above department of natural science, besides of bio graphies of men who had successfully cultivated it. He was an ardent and enthusiastic student of nature as well as of books, and this probably hastened the event which the scien tific world has now to deplore. The Crown has the patron. age of the chair. THE LATH WATERSPOUT AT HIGHAM. — DUTitig 1 the past week the neighbourhood of Higham has been visited by many persons, all anxious to witness the devas tating effects of the recent sudden inundation. On a more minute examination of the locality, we find that the injury sus t a ined by the agricu lturists and ma rket gardeners has been greater than was at first supposed. No less than 100 loads of the soil from the gardens lying on the side of tne hill have been washed down on to the paddock of Mr. J. llull e at the Hermitage , w hile hundre ds of cabbages and a consi derables.s' breadth of potatoes have also been carried away. The fruit, too, beaten from the trees, lies mingled in the ge neral mass—more particularly the apples, the crop of which has in a great measure suffered. The high read also came in for a share of its destructive effects, more particularly the footpath, which for a considerable distance was furrowed as if a plough had been driven along its course. It is somewhat singular that a similar circumstance occurred about the saw . c spot 64 years ago, which is described by those in whoeseigs,it. collection it is as being far more destructive than On that occasion the inundation of the surround inhorse IV AS was so sudden, and to such an extent, that aituate at a drowned in a stable on the Stone-house Fit,r,",'!_hs •tk© water s tl Country very short distance from the shaft into to rushed with such impetuosity last week, railway. —.Kentish Observer.

Yesterday the last match of the Royal London Yauht Club came tff, according to arranwinaent at th e pr e vious monthly meeting of the club, wht.n a most interesting race took place, the day and the wind beinc tay.aurable fur such an event. The start was from Llackwell Reach, down the river, round a boat naooreki off TiOury Fort, and returning to the place of starting. Ira can scquence of the lateness of the season, and II great many of the elite of aquatic spot is being out of town, the members did not engage an excursion boat. Tto?te was a large fleet of yachts, which went down the river, ac compacyirg the contending vessels, and which were filled with the members of the club and thcir friends— with the War Unwk, the Vulante (bearing the flag the commodore), the Fleur-ne•las, the Gwalior, the Trio, the Waterwitch, the Ides, &a. The following are the names of the yachts which were entered fur the match:— Tons. Owners.? Whisper Thought 25 ... G. Coope, Esq. Phantom 2O ... S. Lane, Esq. Half . ..minute time was allowed to the yachts of inferior over that of superior tonnage. At twelve o'clock they got under weigh, the %rind being fresh from the north-east, Thought having got her canvas first set she took the lead, but she was quickly followed by Whisper. She soon weathered her oppo nent. Phantom was close up, and gradually took the lead after running through Woolwich Reach, and was first to . round the b oat at Ti l b ury F ort, which was so comphshed about th ree o ' clock. The Whi sper , i n a b ou t two-minutes and a half, followed; Thought being half a length astern of Whisper.

DAILY NEWS.—AII panics are contagious. No sooner has a mad dog been seen—or supposed to have been seen—in one parish, than dog battues become fashionable over the whole country. It is the same with newspapers. The alarm was given in France by the President some time ago, crying out ,‘ a m ad . muzzle—sexactlyas journal," and issuing an order that no news paper should be the cry A nd allowed to go at large without a the dog.daya . is done with the canine race in panieeandsl and Berlin, joining in at Roal of already all his neighbours are The newspaper " mad journals." At Vienna, there perennial — subsidin gli ke aples, this is nothing new. the mad-dog panic, is out more violently in at intervals only to break eruptions de of police placards, spotting every mentoof repose. But the wall' house and after every anti-newspapermo crusade has on the present occasion been disting uished by the debuts of sundry eminent indiv iduals. intimated the First in respect of rank is the Emperor h castio Soulouqu e , We learn from the Weiser Zeitu Haytian consul at Hamburgh h as the Foreign Minister of that Republic that allusions to his Imperial Master in Hamburg well as news pepers, if not checked, may entail injurious con sequences on the trade of the Hanse Towns, as upon such of its citizens as may be resident in Sou louque's dominions. Poor Hamburgh I In the days of " the holy Roman empire" it had sometime vexa tious squabbles with ' the Emperor," like all the other " free towns." But now it is condemned to speak under the incessant jealous surveillance of no less than three Emperors (of Russia, Austria, and Hayti), with a fourth " looming in the future," as Mr. Disraeli might express himself. Next in rank to the sable Emperor among the new hunters of the press is the illustrious Raja of Sarawak. Indeed it may be doubted whether injustice is not done to this great man so long as he is not recognised as the great original whom Soulouque is imitating. His exploits have been longer reaching our ears than those of others, but then the theatre on which they are per formed is more remote. The press at Sarawak is as quiet and inoffensive as a press can be. But in the settlement of Singapore, which has unluckily been formed on the revolutionary model of England, the press is active, and apt to be uncivil. It so happens that one of the Singapore newspapers has been in the hebit of calling in question the absolute wisdom of the Raja of Sarc.wak,f.nd o ven expr.-ssing incredulity on the score of his pure and unmixed philanthropy. Some time ago a gentleman who was (or was supposed by the Raja to be) closely connected with this Jacobi. nical newspaper, was appointed to hold a certain office in the law courts of Singapore. As soon as the news reached the Raja, he issued a rescript to the Governor of Singapore to rescind the nomination of the wicked man who had denounced the ruler of Sarawak. The Governor of Singapore had more moral courage than some kings in Europe; he coolly replied that the appointment not having been made by him could not be unmade by him ; and that, more over, the laws of Singapore did not admit of punish ing any man, without trial, on the private ettparte statement even of the Raja of Sarawak. The re joinder of the offended dignitary was that he would hound the English and Anglo-Indian Governments upon the disobedient Governor. The contest is an unequal one. The party attacked is merely the Re sident at Singapore, and nothing else ; the party attacking combines in his own person the character of Raja of Sarawak, Consul and Protector of English trade in Borneo, Governor of Labuan, and Ambassador Extraordinary to Slain. And neither of the arbiters—neither the Anglo-Indian Government nor the Derbyite Ministry are under stood to be very friendly to a free press. The rulers of France, Hayti, and Sarawak, each hunts news papers with his own private pack. We now come to a number of gentlemen who seem disposed to pursue the amusement, as it were , with h tha subscription pack— the- land w , o e r r th a y t imeaeamt in n er u s losfter, w " The Landlord League as been called in ire,: During the canvass which preceded the late elec . for the County Down, si t es; a resolution was meeting of the Tory leaders endpublished along with ~pu the names of all who adhered This publication, to it. and its bearing on the election, were . 11 d• c ussed by Mr. Sharman Crawford in a letter which was published in the Northern Whig.
