SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The Home Secretary has exercised a wise discretion in prohibiting the use of Hyde-park for a demonstration in favour of reform. After the meetings in Trafalgar-square, the leaders of this movement thought fit to summon the working classes of London and of the provinces to meet on the evening of the 23d inst. in Hyde-park—a place devoted to the recreation and amusement of the people. Addresses and proclamations have been issued, inviting large numbers of persons to form processions and march through the streets, accom panied by bands of music. They are to come from all parts of London, to concentrate in the park, and there to make this demonstration. Now, we believe there is no man of sense in the country who at all fears the political effect of these gatherings. We have not, indeed, much respect for them. The con gregation of a large number of idle people round a platform, from which the voice of the speaker can only rea3h a favoured few who have the best places, seems to be no very useful or impressive political act. Monster meetings belong to a bygone state of society, when an ignorant populace followed some fanatical or designing leader ; they are totally unsuited to the haits of our own time, and to au age when the discussions of the press and the pro ceedings of legitimate public meetings effectually control public opinion. It may be assumed that a gathering which, taking the name of a meeting, is unable to hear the speakers it surrounds can serve no useful purpose. We had num bers of these assemblages in the old time of discontent early in the century, and since then the Chartists have flocked by thousands to support their favourite leaders, and the Irish peasantry by tens of thousands to gaze at a distance on the figure of O'Connell. But it is a remarkable feature of all these agitations that they had hardly any effect on real, sober, public opinion. They created distrust, they filled the middle class, who in this country ul timately govern, with disgust, and gave the more supercilious among the educated an argument against popular control. We assert with confidence tliat a further Reform of Parliament might have followed more closely on the Act of 1832 had it not been for the extravagances of Feargus O'Connor and his associates, and that there would have been a better disposition to listen t 5 the complaints of Ireland had not the gifted but reckless agitator who led its people assumed the threatening attitude of one who wielded a multitude at his will. If the promoters of these " demonstrations" have any re gard for the success of the cause they preach, they will do well to avoid creating alarm in any part of the community. The largest and most influential section-of the public will only be alienated by the spectacle of thousands of idlers collected by flags and music in order that their numbers may be paraded as a proof of the physical strength of the Reformers. The objections to these gather ings are independent of the intentions of the promoters or of the multitude itself. We have no fear that the leaders of the movement, or those who attend with a real political purpose, will attempt any breach of the peace. But it is idle to suppose that Mr. Beales, or his colleagues or the members of the local committees, or the bona fide reformers can control the multitude they bring toge ther. Their avowed object is to summon every Lon doner, high or low, whom music, processions, and banners can attract. The greater the number of the people whom they can attract to the Park the greater will be the success of their " demonstra tion." The conclusion is unavoidable. If the Park were given up to such purposes as the reformers contemplate, it would simply be a gathering place for a disorderly crowd, the greater part of whom would know nothing and care nothing about Re form, but would make the place intolerable for per sons seeking recreation. Nor can there be any guarantee that \ scenes of violence may not occur. We entirely acquit the leaders who organised the late meetings of the disorderly acts of the crowd, yet such acts were committed. When a still larger multitude is brought together, who can say that there may not be a sufficient proportion of evildoers and vagabonds to cause a serious breach of the breach ? For these reasons we think Mr. Walpole is justi fied in prohibiting the meeting in Hyde Park on Monday next, and we are glad to see that in this he is supported by Sir George Grey, who, in fact, gave the original directions to Sir Richard Mayne. THE "ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES." - After a long and wearisome delay an appropriation has at last been made by Congress for the ex penses connected with the exhibition of American products in Paris in 1867. This appropriation, at the moment when all other nations have completed their arrangements, and, in many instances, have actually commenced their specific work, loses half its interest and value. Had the manufacturers and mechanics of the United States been positively in formed some six months or a year ago that an opportunity would have been afforded them for a fair competition with the Old World, their energies would have been awakened and new ideas developed which would prove to the immense ultimate gain of the entire country. But with the feeling that political prejudices in Congress might prevent any action whatever the matter has been allowed to drop, and scarcely any interest has been shown throughout the country. There is now but six months' time in which to organise the committees and juries for selection from the different classes and articles as shall most perfectly develope the advance in invention in the United States. These committees have really all the hard work to do, and it is to them we must look for such a repre sentation as shall do the nation justice. The great point to be considered is what articles will best indicate the resources of the United States, and its ability to rely upon the inventive industry of its mechanics and manufacturers. To prove this it does not require that there shall be sent fifty diffe rent patterns of pianofortes or steam engines at an enormous expense for freight and for room in the Exhibition building ; but that from these fifty one only shall be selected, which, in the judgment of a proper committee or jury, is pronounced the best. America can thus show au exhaustive representation of the best articles of every description, and thereby com pete favourably with other nations. In France and England a system of prizes has been adopted in advance of the Great Exhibition, so that the greatest merit and improvement in any one class can be insured. All European nations are looking upon this as a new field of strife, in which peace fully they may compete for success, and by the strong interest awakened, the workmen, even in the most distant localities, are busily preparing them selves to distance their natural rivals. Much is ex pected from the United States. With the very limited experience in former exhibitions the result has been so favourable to American ingenuity that now some great developments are anticipated, for which the country has not really the time to pre pare. In natural products alone, however, if each State is properly organised, such a display can be made as will outshadow the Old World. The minerals, woods, soils, grains, fruits, and vegetables forwarded from each State, and properly classified with the proper information to emigrants as regards cultivation, cost of living, climate, &c., would alone more than repay the entire expense assumed by Go vernment, and perhaps prove to those Western mem bers of Congress who have opposed the appropria tion the special advantages to be gained by their own constituents by the Universal Exhibition of 1867. The various improvements in the preservation of fruit and vegetables will enable California to make such au exhibit in that line as will astonish the world. When we come to Mechanics and Manufac- tures it simply requires the united energies of the various committees upon the several classes to push forward by a proper competition and a rivalry as shall insure the best machine or invention being sent over. Upon the result we can simply rest. In manufactures America has the ability to prove its superiority in carpets, silks, cutlery, watches, electro-plated ware, and many other articles which it is now importing at an enormous expense. If this exhibition settles the point that the United States has within itself the power to manufacture as well and as cheaply the bulk of the articles now imported, the country will have gained in this way more than the cost to the Government of exhibiting. The bill appropriating the amount of $156,403 re ceived a final thrust as it left the hands of the committee the word coin being struck out, leaving the expenses increased by the neces sary purchase of gold for all payments in Europe. It is to be hoped that the idea of sending the articles in a national vessel will be given up, both on the point of economy and in a proper care of the articles themselves. A contract could- be made with a responsible shipping-house in New York, by which the sending of the goods could commence at an early date, and be in gradual process of arrange ment in the Exhibition Building during the winter, in place of ' letting the entire collection arrive at Havre at a late date, with no time in which to do justice to the arrangement. All these matters will doubtless be carefully considered by the proper parties. The section of the bill which appropriates $lO,OOO for the expenses of ten scientific men is open to just criticism. The total amount appro priated would be about enough in gold to pay the expenses of one competent man to devote the proper time to his duties in this connection ; and it is most sincerely to be hoped that some change shall be made in this direction. It would be well for each State to have its own representative empowered to make a report upon such special matters as would be of interest to its own welfare. Special news from St. Paul report the discovery of more very rich mines at Vermillion Lake. Thousands are rushing to the new ladorado. SPORTING INTELLIGEN OE, STAMFORD RACES-FRIDAY. This interesting gathering on Lord Exeter's estate was brought to a close to-day under highly advantageous cir cumstances, the weather being glorious, the attendance, though somewhat short of yesterday, numerous, the fields of a fair average strength, and the sport excellent. The aristocratic element was in strong force, the carriages of several noblemen lining the course. The stand was exten sively patronised, and that part devoted to the ladies was well filled. There were seven events set down on the card for decision, and the races terminated shortly after five o'clock.

Tormentor took up the running at a slow pace, and on passing the stand the first time was about three lengths in advance of Elland ; Brother to Guerilla at this early period of the race being a dozen lengths in the rear. On the far side of the course Tormentor increased her lead, and improved the pace as she reached the straight, having a lead of at least four lengths as they passed the stand for the final circuit of the course, although Elland was pulling double and going as well as his backers could desire. As they approached the turn for home Elland gradually decreased the lead of Tor mentor and a fine race was anticipated, but Elland, although he managed to reach the mare's quarters, was outstayed, and Tormentor, drawing away at the half dis tance, won, amid some excitement, by two lengths.

During the week the specie movement has been of an extensive character, the imports, owing to large arrivals of gold from Australia and silver from the Continent have amounted to about £1,498,742, while the exports have been to the extent of £26,409, chiefly iu remittances to the Continent through private sources. CHRISTOPHER NORTH SHAMMING NIGHTMARE.— It is impossible to give a more graphic illustration of this, says a writer in the London Review, in reference to the rapidity of our dreams, than by recounting one of the ex periments which the "Shepherd" performs upon the sleep ing Christopher North in one of the early Noctes Ambrosiange." " There noo," says Mr. Hogg, I bee dropped some cauld water ou his bald pow, and it's tricklin' doun' his haffets to his lugs. Whist ! wait a wee ! There noo, ye see his mouth openin' -and his chest beavin', as if the waters o' the deep sea were gullaring in his throat—he's noo droonin." Mr. Ambrose remon strates against this experiment, but the Shepherd pro ceeds with it. " Hand back, sir; look how he's trying to streik out his richt leg as if it had gotten the cramp. He's trying to cry for help. Noo he's risin' to the surface for the third and last time ; noo he gives over strugglin' and sinks doun to the brown-ribbed sand amang the crawling partens." And the same experiment is tried by tighten ing Christopher's necktie, whereupon he goes through all the circumstances of being hanged; and only a fight be tween the performers prevents a rehearsal of the guillotine by the aid of the carving knife. Indeed, the whole pro cess is a triumphant success, only Mr. North unfortunately lets out, a little later, that he has been awake all the time. APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—The following ore the names of gentlemen who have passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certifi cates to practise, on Thursday, July 19 :—John Joseph Bingham, Stavely, Derbyshire ; Peter Harding, Shrews bury ; George William Mousley, Athertone ; altd Henry Beamont Pattinson, Havitree, near Exeter.

IRISH RAILWAY COMPANIES.— Copies of two Treasury minutes, dated May 24 and June 15 respectively, have just been published. They show that deputations of noblemen and gentlemen interested in Irish railways have waited on Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone and on the Secretary of the Treasury, asking that her Majesty's Go vernment would assist them in the difficulties caused by the monetary crisis. The Public Works Loan Commis sioners were instructed to advance £500,000, at a rate of interest not less than 4 per cent., and on security which should be sufficiently satisfactory to them. THE AUTOGRAPH NOTE BOOK OF ADDISON, con taining portions of essays contributed to the Spectator, which was so much canvassed in the public journals two years ago, was disposed of at the conclusion of a recent sale of MSS., and realised twenty-six guineas. Only a short time since this identical volume was sold by a Lon don dealer in old books for seven shillings ! THE OATHS COMMISSION.—The Right Hon. Russell Gurney, Q.C., Recorder of the city of London, and the Right Hon. Horatio Waddington, Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, have been placed on the Oaths Commission of Inquiry, in roam of the Right Hon. Lord Stanley and the Right Hon.

Guardian. SUPPLY OF NEEDLE Gus TO ITALY BY PRUSSIA. —The Augsburg Gazette states that Prussia has sent 20,000 needle guns to Italy, with the secret of the cartridges ; 30,000 more are to follow. THE WEATHER AND THE CnoPs.--.The harvest has commenced in the neighbourhood_ of Stamford, Mr. Close, of Barnack, having cut a field of oats which were quite ready for the scythe. The hay crop in the neigh bourhood of Caistor, Lincolnshire, has been generally se cured in good condition. The crops are generally good. A new watering-place, to be called Ocean City, is being started on the beach some miles north of Atlantic City. We take the following from the Pittsburg Mining Journal:—" Nashville, Tennessee : Juno 23,1866.—We did not in our last say all we intended to about the manufac tures in Kentucky, but the geography and geology is so identical with that of its neighbour Tennessee, its mineral products, soil, water courses, and channels of trade so similar, that we thought it appropriate to embody in this article a discussion of manufactures in both Status. Ten nessee has an area of 85,600 square miles. Her popula tion in 1860 was 1,109,847, an increase of ten per cent. in ten years. 1 The density of her population is 24.12 to the square mile, and her ratio to the total population of the country 3.65 per cent. The population subsists chiefly on agriculture, though manufactures are carried on to some extent. It may not be generally known that in 1840 Tennessee was the third state in the Union in the amount and value of her manufactures, New York and Pennsyl vania alone surpassing her. The mineral area of Ten nessee is not definitely nor even approximately known. During the last thirty years the subject lias received no attention. It was left for the cruel war' and the Yankee faculty for seeing things to demonstrate the actual resources of Tennessee, and the more inquiry the greater number of acres that are daily being added to the mineral area of the State. This much is known ; the valleys of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, and the valley of East Tennessee, contain accessible and inexhaust ible mines. The extent of this area must be fully 10,000 square miles. Prom the known character of formations in the other parts of the State, it seems safe to conclude that Tennessee has minerals extensive and valuable enough to make her the first State in the South, in her facilities for mining and manufactures. The minerals found in Tennessee aro iron, coal, copper, petroleum, gypsum, alum, nitre, lead, silver, zinc, copper, 'salt, salt petre, marble, and hydraulic limestone. Their location may be determined by the geological divisions running from north to south. There is a legend that one day a woman went to Brigham Young for counsel, touching some illegal oppres sion by an officer of the Church. Brigham, like a true politician, assumed to know her ; but when it became ne cessary to record her case, hesitated, and said. "Let me see sister, I forgot your name." "My name! " was the l e did in dignant reply ; " Why, lam your wife! " " When marry you ?

Our time will soon come. The day of Irish freedom is not far dis tant. Ireland will soon take her place among the nations of the earth ; and the, fairest island on the globe, under the control of Irishmen, will be made to blossom as the rose and become a garden spot.' u THIRD ElliT - 101 V.

On Saturday last a deputation from the commit tee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society waited on Sir John P. Grant, K.C.8., Governor of Jamaica, at 29, Lancaster-gate, Hyde-park-gardens, for the purpose of presenting an address in relation to the affairs of the island. The deputation con sisted of the following gentlemen :—Messrs. Wil liam Allen, Robert Alsop, Joseph Cooper, Sydney Cooper, the Rev. Dr. Massie, Frederick Wheeler, Thomas Harvey, William Brewin (the two last named being the deputation to Jamaica from the Society of Friends), William Morgan (late special correspondent in Jamaica of the British and Foreigrt, Anti-Slavery Society), and L. A. Chamerovzow. The address called attention to the recent lament able events on the island, and expressed a strong hope that his Excellency would be enabled to bring about a better state of things. Sir J. P. GRANT read the following reply : " Gentlemen, I thank you for the address which you have done me the honour to present to me, and for the papers containing information on particular points which you have been so good as to place in my hands. In every public office that I have held it has been with me a paramount object that all classes of my fellow-subjects should meet with equal justice, and that all interests should be treated with the fairest and most liberal considera tion in matters both of legislation and administra tion. lam convinced that the permanent good of every class is best consulted when justice is done to all classes. It will be in the West, as it was in the East, my earnest endeavour to carry this principle into practice to the best of my ability. You will not expect me now to offer any opinion or to enter into any discussion upon the several questions you have brought to my notice, many of them ques tions of difficulty and great importance. I can now only promise that, so far as may depend upon me, these shall have such full and mature consideration as they deserve. My province is to deal with the future rather than with the past ; but it may be open to me to make a remark on one of the subjects to which you have alluded—the deplorable events of last October. Nothing could have justified or ex cused armed insurrection and massacre. It must always be the first object of every Government to suppress, on the instant, such commotions as those which have taken place in Jamaica; and exem plary punishment must always be expected to fall upon the most guilty of those concerned. If evils and defects of administration anywhere exist, they become only more difficult of cure when order and subordination to law ful authority are disregarded by any class of the community. If any person can succeed in impres sing the negro population with this principle, I can not but think that a great good would be effected ; and perhaps, gentlemen, it may be in your power, through your just influence with friends in the colony, to assist in the good work. Am I asking too much if I ask for your help in the matter? I believe it is only by the hearty co-operation of all parties that any speedy improvement can be ex pected in the condition of all classes in Jamaica ; and for such co-operation no one would be more grateful than myself." Mr. JOSEPH COOPER said he wished to refer to that portion of his Excellency's reply which bore upon the recent riots. The committee had never shrunk from condemning the acts of violence committed by the rioters, but, on the contrary, had denounced them from the first as deserving of punishment ; and if no reference to this condemnation appeared in the address, it was because the committee had so many times, and under so great a variety of circumstances, recorded their views on this point. They wished to be understood as having no sym pathy whatever with those who had been guilty of infringing law and order. Messrs. Harvey, Morgan, Brewin, Alsop, and Dr. Massie having addressed the Governor on par ticular points, Sir JOHN GRANT said that both with reference to these, and to the others more particularly specified in the address, he could but renew his assurance to the deputation that they should receive his best at tention. The deputation then withdrew, the interview hav ing lasted an hour. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been rather more activity. A large business has been done in sugar at enhanced prices. Coffee also has been in in creased demand,good qualities having brought higher prices. In rice, fruit, tea, and spices, there has been no material change, while tallow has been dull and generally a shade cheaper. A lady in Concordia, Illinois, was very sick a few days ago, and her physician decided that squirrel soup was necessary for her. A request was at once sent to all the men in town to shoot a squirrel for her, but there was not a man to be found in the town willing to do this simple act for an invalid. A country girl, who happened to be in the neighbourhood, heard of it, shouldered a rifle, and re turned in about half an hour with four squirrels—ta cit shot through the head. advices of May 31st.

Thoma SALE OF LORD EXETER'S YEARLINGS. The usual sale of yearlings, bred by Lord Exeter at Wothorpo Paddocks, near Stamford, took place ou Friday, when Mr. E. Tattersall officiated. There were 11 offered for sale, and a moderate lot they ware, or no doubt all of them would have boon sold. As it was, only eight of them found purchasers. A filly by Midas, out of Boa, was the first brought out, but, being a mere thick-set pony, Col. Loyd Lyndsay bought her for 25 guineas. A couple of fillies by Nutshell son of Nutwith), out of Alexandria, by Ambrose, and Clelia, by The Provost, were next offered, but, being loose-made and of little promise as racehorses, they were both sent back, although the latter was afterwards sold by private contract to Mr. Partner for 70 gs. A filly by Knight of St. Patrick, out of Miss Stamford, well-grown all over, with a level, racing -like top, William Day took at 100 guineas. A filly by Knight of the Thistle, from Celia, well framed for speed, Mr. Payne took cheap at 100 guineas. A colt by Thormanby, out of Amelia, with plenty of bone, but narrow over the hips, Lord Bateman gave his value for 200 guineas. A big, loose-made filly by Knight of St. Patrick, out of Nicotine, with a belly like a brood mare, went to Mr. Sutton for 210 guineas; and ho bought a colt by the same horse, out of Sultana, low, lengthy, strong, and racing-like, for 250 guineas. Lastly, came the bast of the lot, in the brother to Knight of the Crescent, a big, well-grown, and "ex tremely powerful colt, but more of the weight-carrying than one likely to make a racehorse of high class. Ho was well sold to Mr. Stirling Crawfurd for 570 gs. Annexed are the prices, &c. Gs. Bay filly by Midas, out of Boa ...(Col.
