The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasi g applications through the recent storms and less ci life at sea, and to enable them eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those who may perish by war.

The racing season has scarcely been inaugurated when the turf gathers all its votaries together. At Nottingham the patrons of the meeting comprised a large party from Donington Park, including the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, the Marquis of Anglesey, Lords Win chilsea, A. Lennox, Adare, &c. The morning opened charmingly fine, but during the afternoon a few spring showers reminded one of the nm i s.r itpprafteh of April, as. did also the budding trees. Shrßrethiesday being a half holiday, Sherwood Forest, upon N ; rhich the sports are held was extensively patronised by the workpoople of Notting ham, and the prospect of a good day's racing drew together a large number of the bookmakers, though several mem bers were conspicuous by their absence. The fields were not large, the opening event, Trial Stakes, bringing out four runners. Catalogue, .grown into a magnificent filly, was favourite at 3 to 1 on her, and she won without an effort. The most numerous field of the day, ten, ran for the Stand Plate, for which the two favourites—La Me chant° and Hesper—ran neck and neck to the finish, Ford ham finally beating Jemmy Grimshaw by a neck. In the Handicap race, unfortunately, an accident occurred to a new light weight, named Lovett, who fell with 011erton at the last turn, got a very severe shaking, and was removed to the Infirmary. Speculation was carried on briskly be fore the start, Tippler, Dunkeld, and Twilight absorbing the investments of backers. These three, singularly enough, supplied the judge's "placings," the worst favou rite of the trio, however, being first. The last two races were each won by the favourite, and during the afternoon 1,000 to 40 was twice taken about Arbury, and afterwards 2,000 to 100 was accepted about the same horse, for the Liverpool Steeplechase. _ _ The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for three yr-olds and upwards ; certain penalties and allowances.

Tim Meagles led for two hundred yards, followed closely by 011erton, after which the latter took up the running, the French horse lying at his quarters, while Catalogue, pulling hard, kept close in their track. Sympathy apparently out paced the first half mile, drew up when they arrived in the straight, where Tim Meagles dropped away beaten, and Catalogue waited upon 011erton to the distance, where she took up the running and won in a canter by three lengths. A length separated the second and third ; Tim Meagles a bad fourth. The Stand Plate of 50 sovs, for all ages, added to a Sweep stakes of 5 sovs each; winners extra. Half a mile. Mr S.

Betting-5 to 2 agst La Mechante, 3to 1 agst Hesper, 6 to 1 agst Cornelia, 10 to 1 each agst Lady Bohun and His Royal Highness. After half an hour's delay an excellent start was effected, La Mechante next the rails gaining the merest adv an t age of Hesper, who in the centre of the course was followed closely by Vicksburg, Zisca, and Faith to the distance. Opposite the stand Hesper deprived La Mechante of the lead, and, after an exciting finish, won by a neck. A length se p a rated the second and third, and a s i m i lar distance divided the third and fourth ; Cornelia was fifth, Zisca sixth, Vicksburg seventh, and Peru last. The.

Betting —9 to 4 agst Tippler, 100 to 30 agst Dunkeld, 4 to 1 agst Twilight, 10 to 1 agst Donnybrook, 100 to 8 agst Heurlys. At the second attempt Twilight jumped away in front, but was quickly passed by. Sympathy, Helen, and Heurlys, these three rounding the first turn clear of Twilight and Tippler. At the back of the Stand Heurlys ran to the front, and was followed half way along the flat towards the Mansfield turn by Helen and Sympathy, close behind whom were Donnybrook,. Twilight, Tippler, and Dunkeld, Royal Stag bringing up the roar. Before reaching the turn, however, Donnybrook, who was last off, ran into second place, and kept at the side of Heurlys into the straight, before reaching which 011erton fell, and the jockey was struck by Twilight and Tippler, who at the last turn were rapidly overhauling the leader. About half a mile from home Heurlys gave way, and the front rank at that time comprised Donnybrook, Sympathy, and Dunkeld, Twilight goingwell within herself, being just behind the trio, and Tippler ap peared shut out. Approaching the distance Donnybrook and Sympathy were b ea ten, and Twilight taking up the run thug, held the lead to the end, and won by three lengths ; Tippler beat Dunkeld a length for second place, and Sym bathy finished two lengths in the rear of Mr. Angell's horse. Betting-5 to 4on The Abbott-10 to 1 "bar one." Diana took up the running at the turn beyond the Stand and carried it on into the straight, where the Abbott, who was first off, but was pulled back into second place, went to the front, and won easily by six lengths ; three lengths divided the second and third, and two lengths separated the third and fourth ; the others "spread-eagled," were preceded by Jamie Taft fifth, The Captain's Little Maid sixth, and Maid of Lorn seventh. An objection was lodged against the winner, on the ground of his having been in a training establishment, contrary to the conditions of this race ; but the case was not decided last evening.

Liverpool Slirewsbury Scarborough l6, 17 Torquay 2B West Somerset Abergavenny 9 0, 21 THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) i. NEW YORK, Feb. 14. Unpleasant truths are, and have to be, uttered to the people both of North and South. At the great war meeting, held at Richmond, immediately after the failure of the peace negotiations, Mr. Benjamin, the Confederate Secretary of State, declared that he came before his fellow-countrymen to say disagree able things. He insisted that no further reinforce ments for the Confederate army could be drawn from the white population, and that if the negroes were not induced to volunteer on the promise of freedom, and in large numbers, it would be necessary for Gen. Lee to abandon Virginia to the enemy. It is true that many of the Confederate leaders and the Con federate Congress do not take so gloomy a view of the situation, and that the latter has declined to arm the negroes, on the ground that the Confederacy is not reduced to such a state of exhaustion as to de mand the trial of so perilous an experiment ; but that men like Mr. Benjamin, and more especially Gen. Lee, should be of a contrary opinion, is suffi cient to prove that the South is greatly suffering for want of men. But the statesmen of the North, who are not too deeply immersed in party politics and mean intrigues for place and power to survey the whole situation of their country, the dark side as well as the light, with the sole object of discovering the truth, might find as ample reason as Mr. Benja min to say disagreeable things. The North is urgently, if not desperately, in want of men, and knows not where to find them, except by resort to the dange rous process of a compulsory levy. It has tried volunteering and pumped the well dry. It has had recourse to high bounties, and been rewarded with nothing better than the dregs of Europe, fellows who enlisted in a dozen places one after the other, only to desert as soon as they received a fraction of their hire, and never contributed a serviceable man to the ranks of the army. And, more than that, it has raised up in New York and other cities a cloud of bounty brokers and swindlers, who when they could not supply the duped and defrauded Government with cripples and lunatics, with drugged and hocussed sailors, and other strangers, with the refuse of prisons and penitentiaries, with all the vilest material in the form of humanity that the vice and criminality of Europe and America could afford, have resorted to wholesale forgery and pro vided imaginary recruits by the thousand, who had no other existence than a fictitious name upon a slip of printed paper, duly signed by officials who would sign anything for 50 dols., or a smaller sum. By these agencies the people, as well as the Govern ment, have been robbed of millions of dollars ; and scores, if not hundreds of rural towns and villages, the citizens of which imagined they had escaped the draught by means of men purchased in New York and elsewhere to fill their quotas, find that their money has been expended in vain, and that not a single recruit can be credited to their exertions. The bounty system is so completely a breakdown, and has produced such wrong and hardship to the en richment of a more atrocious crew of public plun derers than ever before afflicted a people, that no possible means is left to recruit the Federal armies, except a conscription, in which every man drawn must be compelled to serve or purchase and be re sponsible for a substitute. The draught was to have commenced to-morrow, according to the terms of Mr. Lincoln's last proclamation, but in consequence of the discovery of the enormous frauds perpetrated within the last six months, as well as of the apathy of the population liable to draught, which has pre vented the proper enrolment in many cities, it is probable that it will be postponed, no one knows for how long a period. There are not wanting hundreds of zealous supporters of the Government and the war who recommend that the draught be rigidly enforced, and predict that the people will quietly submit to it. The result may prove that these gentlemen are right, but it is useless to dis guise or deny the fact that the Government itself is not quite so sure on the matter, and that it hesitates to put the loyalty and determination of the people to a test so crucial. Nor is the money difficulty, though not equal to that of the South, to be lightly estimated. Mr. Fessenden's official report on the debt and the present state of the national finances, addressed to the Committee of Ways and Means, and published yesterday evening, is by no means a cheerful document, though it only admits a debt of about 1,000 million dollars less than most people anticipated. Ile reckons the debt bearinc , in terest in gold at $1,017,556 ,438 ; the debt bearing interest in lawful money (i.e., greenbacks) at $4608,570,952, and other liabilities at $ 4 57,608,054 ; or in all, $2,153,735,444. This is merely the debt incurred by the Federal Government in the prose cution of the war, and does not include any of the liabilities Lincurred for the same purpose by States, counties, and towns, of which no general record has yet been published or made out, but which holders of real estate, upon whom the burden almost ex clusively falls, declare to amount to something that closely borders upon confiscation. Mr. Fessenden has but $10,000,000 and a fraction to meet his cur rent liabilities, or about sufficient to enable him to pay his way for three days. Under these circum stances, and awaiting the slow and uncertain re turns from the Internal Revenue Act, no more than enough to meet a third of the constantly accruing claims upon the Treasury, he has, it is announced in most of the journals, determined to put a loan of $600,000,000 upon the market, with interest ar6 per cent. in greenbacks, and with- liberty, if Con gress will accord it, to sell tlit bonds for such - prices as he pleases, at a discount, at par, or at a premium as the state of public affairs and the confidence or distrust of capitalists may warrant and determine. It is likely that this exposition will be the last act of the official life of the Secretary. Mr. Lincoln yesterday nominated ex-Governor, and now Senator, E. D. Morgan, of New York, as his successor ; but, greatly to Mr. Lincoln's surprise, Mr. Morgan pru dently and peremptorily declined the perilous honour. Mr. Fessenden was a bold man to assume the responsibilities of Mr. Chase, and whoever shall assume those of Mr. Fessenden will be bolder still. He will have to choose between two alternatives, either to continue the old system, and tide over the day of retribution for the evil done, or inaugurate a new and sounder system, which may precipitate a catastrophe that is, in any case, inevitable. The gentleman who appears to have the best chance of the nomination is Mr. Hugh M'Cullogh, Controller of the Currency at Washington, who, in a recent letter, to which I drew favourable attention at the time of its publication, declared himself against in convertible paper money, and against the notion that a great public debt was a great public advan tage. Should Mr. M'Cullogh be offered and accept the position, he will have a greater opportunity than is often presented to make or to mar a very enviable reputation. The peace agitation has by .no means subsided. Though it is held to be proved by the Messages of the Northern and the Southern Presidents that the one party was as firm upon reunion as the other upon separation, it is considered that the Southern emissaries offered Mr. Lincoln a trifling bribe for the recognition of the independence of their country, and that, although Mr. Lincoln felt himself bound to reject it, his refusal was not so hearty or emphatic as to convince his opponents in argument that they might not renew it with better success upon a future occasion. Mr. Seward, in his letter to Mr. Adams, distinctly alludes to this by-play of the negotiators when he says, " The insurgents seemed chiefly to favour a mutual direction of the efforts of the Government as well as those of the insurgents to some extrinsic policy or scheme for a season during which passions might be expected to subside." In other words, although Mr. Seward did not feel himself at liberty to speak so plainly, the Southern emissaries hinted at the willingness of their Governments to unite its armies with those of the North for some such j extrinsic" or foreign pur- from Mexico, tie Q4l;:an4 the West India Islands, or the annexation of Canada, which ever might be mutually most agreeable or safest to attempt, the price of the alliance to be Southern in dependence, to be followed in due time by such commercial and other favours as the North might be glad to accept and the South to bestow. Those who favour this idea, who are neither a small nor an uninfluential class, have so inordinate an idea of the power and resources of America, form so extravagant an estimate of its future destiny, and underrate so egregiously the power and resources of all the Euro pean nations, that they see no particular difficulty in the way of the realization not alone of any one, but of all these splendid projects. They are true types of the American character—who bring rowdyism into politics as well as into social life—and who are as abundant at the South as at the North. Of course, Mr. Lincoln and the North would prefer the sub jugation of the South by sheer force of battle to any other solution of the enormous difficulties of the war, ' and as long am Sherman gains victories and Grant maintains the:dead lock, which virtually imprisons the greatest Southern army and the ablest Southern General in Richmond, Mr. Lincoln will be amply justified in avoiding all tortuosities of diplomacy, and directing his sole energies to the prosecution of the war. It is vain, however, to deny or ignore the fact that were the fortune of war to change, and a great mishap to befall either Grant or Sherman, the Southern offer, supposing it to have been made in good faith, and either formally or informally, would assume a very different aspect, and become accept able to a much more numerous and more respectable class than the professional rowdies of American politics. The question of negro slavery having been settled as far as the North is concerned by its abolition in all the territories and States of the Union by - the constitutional act of Congress, to be followed, as there can be no doubt it will b., by an equally con stitutional ratification by the requisite number of three-fourths of the States, the question of the social and political status of the negroes has come up for discussion. Mr. Wendall Phillips led the way, and the crowd of smaller men are following. Illinois has repealed the " black laws," which prohibit=e immigration or settlement of negroes within her boundaries. Mr. Charles Sumner has introduced to the Supreme Court of the United States a properly qualified coloured gentleman to sit and practise as the equal of Mr. Seward and all the other white counsellors and attorneys who formerly monopolised the business of the court. A coloured clergyman has received a special invitation to preach in the hall of the House of Representatives, and on Sunday last delivered what is reported to have been an ex cellent discourse to a large congregation of mem bers and a great crowd of the public, including many hundreds of ladies ; and Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, has introduced a bill into the Senate to compel all railroad and steamboat companies and all stage and omnibus drivers to accommodate black people in their conveyances on the same footing as the whites, under the penalty of forfeiture of their charters, and of fine and imprisonment against captains, drivers, conductors, and others who shall set law at defiance. The next movement is to de clare that the negroes shall have in all respects the same political rights and privileges aslp p of white race ; and that they be e ig l offices of President, Vice-President, an f. m or t the e iste h rs of State, foreign A m bassador, General, Admiral, Judge, or any other in the gift of the Government or the people. The Rev. Mr. Beecher, who pants ze alously for Mr. Wendell Phillips, though long o intervallo, advocate d in a sermon on Sunday evening, which he specially pre-advertised for the purpose, the accordance to the negroes of every social courtesy and every political right accorded to the white race. There is every reason to believe that all these Inc a _ sur „ will be duly carried, and that the theorists and philanthropists will be able to sing loud praises of re joicing, or preach thanksgiving sermons in honour of the legislative triumph of their opinions. misce genation," however, which Mr. Phillips believes to be calculated for the improvement of both races, finds The Edinburgh Weekly Review reports the follow ing extraordinary incident :—" Professor Simpson, of the University of Edinburgh, has discovered a new method of arresting the bleeding in surgical wounds and operations, by temporarily compressing together the sides or tubes of the divided vessels by a needle, instead of tying up their open mouths by threads which remain for days as foreign bodies in the wound, and always kill or mortify the end of the tied artery. Dr. Simpson's new and simple vor plan of a cupressure h as b een accepted with muc h more ü b s y ua t i l l i y e p a r r o e f . essi ßut onthA Syme, T. a i n new practical suggestions pro fessor of clinical surgery, without ever trying the plan, denounced it some time ago in most dis courteous terms before the Medico Chirurgical Society of London. Lately, Dr. Simpson issued a, quiet pamphlet, styled Answers to the objections against acupressure, or the te mportuy metallic compression of arteries, a dd uced by Professors Miller, Erichsen, Neudarfer, Spence, Fergusson, and Syme.' Last week, Mr. Spine took this pamphlet into his classroom, and without attempt ing to answer the rather unanswerable arguments which it contains in favour of acupres sure, h e scolded at the author, and declared the pamphlet to be a piece of vulgar insolence.' Then came the denouement. (We quote from the letter of an accu rate eye-witness.) With firm hand, teeth com pressed, pale lines around his orbits, and altogether a most determined and savage expression, he tore up the pamphlet with his fingers, and gave the frag ments to his assistants to be consigned to the saw dust box with other surgical remains.' One important addition requires to be made to our notice of this inde cent scene. The whole had given to it a kind of official character by Dr. John Brown, the assessor or representative of the Lord Rector in the Univer sity Court, accompanying Mr. Syme into his class room on this special occasion, countenancing by his presence and patronage Mr. Syme's proceedings. The whole transaction is likely, we hear, to come under the supervision of the University Court." With respect to this new method of arresting hemorrhage, which Mr. Syme has condemned in so remarkable a fashion, the Medical Times says : " In all his late operations at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and at Chalmers's Hospital, Dr. Heron Watson, lecturer on surgery, and one of the most expert and able operators in the medical school of the northern metropolis, has employed acupres sure to stem the accompanying bleeding. He has thus used it in amputation, excision of the knee joint, extirpation of the mamma, &c., and always, according to the reports of the eye-witnesses, with perfect facility and success, and with much greater expedition than he could have applied the ligature. Besides, the wounds themselves seem to be all heal ing with less irritation and more rapidity than when the ligatures and their inevitable arterial sloughs are left imbedded in the closed interiors of the wounds. Another Edinburgh hospital surgeon (Mr. Edwards) has used acupressure successfully last week in two cases out of doors—one of amputation and one of excision of the knee joint. Professor Pirrie, and Drs. Leith and Fiddes, the surgeons of the Aberdeen Infirmary, have, for some months past, adopted the practice with, it is stated, the most suc cessful results, and have applied acupressure to the largest arteries opened in surgical operations, as to the femoral artery in several cases of amputation of the thigh."
