"A very alarming book, of great interest, and full of true and tender human feeling."—Star. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. As is usual upon the conclnding day of the Houghton Meeting the attendance was somewhat limited, but the racing was of a more enjoyable character than on the three preceding days, as the sun shone brilliantly, and there was no rain. The ground, however, was somewhat " holding,' , though it did not interfere much with the calculations of the talent, who " spotted" most of the winners. The Houghton Handicap was the only race of the day in which any importance attached, and this might be termed one of the admiral's masterpieces, as the struggle was very close between Saladin, Bigots, and Thalassius. The first-named now showing that his form on the opening day was by no mistake, whilst he gave the bookmakers the best turn they had during the day, as he was not supported for much money. Racing was appinted to commence at 20 minutes past 11, but as the first items on the card fell to the ground business did not virtually begin till 12. By a quarter to throe the Houghton Meeting of 186,5 was over, and New market will attract no more racing men this year. The following aro details : GREATST.

A resolution was adopted declaring that, whereas the people of Alabama have given unmistakable evidence of their loyalty, they, therefore, pray that the President will withdraw the troops from the state. The constitution, as amended, was adopted. The resolution of adjournment provides that the convention may be called together by the President of the Convention on or before the 24th of September. The Convention also passed an ordinance by a vote of fifty-nine to sixteen, which practically establishes the right of admission of negro testimony in courts of justice in all difficulties arising between negroes them selves, or between whites and negroes. The cargo of a New London (Connecticut) whaler, just in, is worth $150,000. The New Bedford Mercury says the master of a whaleship, which not long since arrived from a voyage of thirty-seven months, took as his part of the proceeds the handsome sum of $42,000 —a larger amount than was ever before received by a whaling captain for a single voyage. WESTERN FINANCIERING.—During the four years of the rebellion Massachusetts has increased her State debt, and is now obliged to impose heavy taxes. Ohio put on her taxes early, and so far from increasing her debt has actually reduced it from fifteen to thirteen millions since 1860.

The manufacturers of cotton cloth, we are informed, are making from 100 to 500 per cent. profit on the article. It does not require a very large establishment to make a for tune large enough for any prudent man in a single week. These men expect to grind these prices out of the people ! They expect the people to bend their necks to the burden as patiently as the ox to the yoke ! We have had trouble enough about this cotton business in some form, and it is time for it to be stopped. First, the Southern States wor shipped it as king, or something more sacred, and sacrificed to it one-fourth of their male popula tion ! A god that would not be satisfied with this, they finally concluded, was not worth much in that line. and they resolved to send it after Balsam of old. Like the worshippers of that beauty on a special occasion, the wor shippers cut themselves powerfully, but it was no go. Grant came down on the cotton worshippers like a shower of rain in a mighty dry time to cool them off—and he did it. The fallacy of King Cotton was ventilated at the South. The free wind blew through as it would through a shadow. And now, is it possible that the Northern manufacturers pray to it, that it may pick the pockets for the benefit of nine-tenths of the people of the land? Is it possible also that the people will bear this enormous forced contribution without a protest that will be pe a rh se a t p tl s e t r lhi shall see, for the trial is on us, and the monopolists or the people must knock under. on foreign cotton goods! s th so. -W0 be done till Congress meets, and then move your represen tativese knock o e f f r of th e persuasiondutunder stand,ingneePtheo Perhaps po will and with it n a Show them that this Government is one for the benefit of the people, and not one to enable few It is not the cotton manufacturers alo ?ta n ttl bleed the many honest people to d monopolists to eat& this warfare, but the combinations who are waging wind themselves into and around each other and lock and , interlo k e each hoping that the whole united will be too formidable to be over come by any power that can be brought against them. We acknowledge it to be so formidable as to make the hope of extrication almost hopeless. But we believe in the power of truth, clothed in the courage of American freemen also. We believe in the common sense of the far mers of the West, who, with their broad shoulders, have borne the brunt of the war so bravely through to victors. We look to them to hold the balance of justice between the sections firmly in this hour. They have won power, for they have saved the nation. They can demand consideration when they speak, for they have given proof of great action, of manly and heroic worth. They have not yet become so corrupted by the spirit of the times as to be blinded to the fact that greed of gain may be so strong as to devour its own possessor. They have not yet become so cunning as to out wit themselves. Their integrity is not in the market, to be bought and sold. When such men speak, they will speak with emphasis. Though their words may bo few in number, they will be words of truth and soberness. They will take no advantage of others, but they will not permit sharpers to mistake their disposi tion to deal fairly for weakness of intellect. While they will he just towards others, they will demand like conduct in return towards them and the country at largo. To speak of our own State (and the same will apply to the whole North-west), Illinois has demonstrated her power to be that of an empire ; and this very demonstration hn poses on her responsibilities that her people cannot escape from, if they would. Our people are farmers in a large proportion. They deal directly with the God of Provi dence in their every day occupations of life, and Ile allows no cheating. They pray to him in daily toil, and TT —0 gives them of the fruit of the earth in liberal measure. Th ey in turn, dispense to other s who have l e s s with no close hand or grudging heart. All these things nourish in them selves a confiding disposition, but a mortal hatred of s uc h men as live by grinding the unsuspecting between the upper and nether millstones of adversity, as is being done now. When our people are made certain of the existence of a great wrong meditated against them, they have the c ourage to meet it in any shape it may choose to come. They will meet their responsibilities now.

Wages were steady it $lO a day on the mines. The price of provisions bad conside-: rably fallen. The telegraph had been completedup to Soda Creek, 300 miles from New Westminster, and it was expected that the cable under Behring's Straits would be laid early next year. Her Majes ty's ship Sutlej, Rear-Admiral Denman, and the Clio were at Esquimault harbour, as also the con demned gunboats Grappler and Forward. The Devastation, Sparrow Hawk, and Tribune were expected. The United States ship Saranik had left British Columbia in pursuit of the Shenandoah, and the Suanee was looking for the privateer in Esqui ruault harbour. The French flagship Victoire was at Manzanilla. A French and two United States' gunboats were at Acapulco. The United States' steamer Lancaster was the only ship of war at Panama. • 4 ~+ r ~ ~ The news from the• West Coast is, as usual, of an • unsettled nature ; but it possesses some additional 7:T; ; 1 / 4 1('' , interest on account of the mysterious m oveme nts- of the small Spanish fleet which has now for some time occupied Callao, but which sailed for Chili on September 6, and arrived there on the eve of the celebration of the annual national feast! ,of' Dyoz y Ocho. A day or so before the arrival of , • Callao; admiral a special steamer, despatched f r o m Callao; entered Valparaiso, bearing the unpleasant news that the settlement of the Spanish question with Chili by the Spanish Consul had been rejected by the Court of Madrid, and he ordered home to an swer for his conduct. What the ultimatum was which Admiral Pareja carried to Chili had not transpired when the mail left for Valparaiso ; but the. Admiral's arrival, indicating as it did to the Chilians a hostile feeling, had called forth the most,, vehement enthusiasm on the part of the people: :L • Public meetings were held in Santiago and Valpa- - raiso, and many leading men took part in them, ' r • .denouncing the conduct of Spain, and declaring that they would resist her demands to the utmost. A private meeting also of all the principal foreign merchants took place, when it was resolved thtit any bills of exchange the Spanish goye.rinriUnt might draw • :„ upon them should be protested, and this resolution was for Warded to the President•of the republic, and was subsequently posted outside the palace doors. Whatever the intentions of Spain may be, it is cer tain that she will meet with a very different recep tion in Chili from that which she met with in Peru. The mail left two ships of the Spanish fleet in Caldera, receiving coal from the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. From Bolivia the news is as conflicting as ever. It was rumoured in Cobija that the head of Mel garejo had been carried on the point of a spear into La Paz. We know from reliable sources that Mel garejo had met with a decided defeat at Oruro, where he commanded in person. Balivian, another aspirant for the Presidency, had taken the field against the forces cf Melgarejo. In Peru affairs had not altered. The position of parties remained the same, and but little reliance could be placed on the best formed opinions respec ting the probable issue of the ridiculous struggle going on there. Al lkinds of produce had risen, and the high price of the common necessaries of life in the port of Callao was causing considerable appre hensions on the part of the resident foreigners there. Business in Chili was completely at a standstill, and it was little better elsewhere along the whole coast. ~: ,s I +C.s; - - - Her Britannic Majesty's ships the Leander (Com modore Harvey) and Shearwater were at Callao, and the Columbine at Valparaiso. VONDOOIS3i.—In the good old days of Louisiana Vondooism was religiously believed in by all the coloured population, and by not a few who should have been of more intelligence. For years past the infernal rites of this dark superstition have been conducted near New Orleans, only at long intervals and with the utmost secresy. We have heard of such scenes being enacted in or near Mobile by the negroes, but never till last night did we witness anything of the kind in this city. In company with a few policemen we went to a house situated beyond the gasworks, and occupied by an old negro who claims to be an " Obi man." Approaching the house v er y carefully, and peering through the crevices in the walls, a wild, weird spectacle was presented. Around a small fire of pine in the middle of the floor—or room, for fl oor th ere was none—and over which was hung a pot, sat a group of negro men and women entirely naked; their hair or wool twisted into pig-tail curls and ornamented with sprigs of some kind of herb intermingled with dried roots, their eyes closed, the master of ceremonies, or high fetish priest, with a snake skin around his neck and his wool grizzled with age and garnished more profusely than the rest, was chanting some thing in a droning voice, while the remainder of the "congregation" responded with a low and a long-drawn howl. The old negro with the snake skin clapped his hands, and the whole party rose and commenced a most furious stamping in a circleround the pot. This being over, they all squatted down again, and the " Obi man" resumed hi chant, at the same time holding in his hand a covered basket, from which he drew and dropped into the pot first a dead snake, next a frog, then a young alligator or lizards, and last of all the herbs and roots from his own and the heads of other negroes. Silence was observed by all for some minutes after the last deposit had been made, after which the pot was taken from the fire, and while the nau seating reeking hot they each dipp e d th e left hand into it and e se n a d ti e n f g th m e ix in t i ur dd e le wa fi s yet nger of h ap plied the end of their finger to their tongue ; another dip into the pot was taken with the middle finger of the right hand, and certain cabalistic figures described on the breasts, forehead, and shoulders, one assisting the other in the operation. Not a word was spoken until their clothes had been resumed, and they had got clear of the house. Although on high occasions the Fetish, or "Obi man," may demand a human sacrifice in his inhuman rites, and which sacrifice is generally a young child, nothing of the kind was attempted in the Vondoo pow-wow of last night. The presence of the police would, of course, have prevented anything of this nature, had it even been thought necessary by the old negro conducting the affair. Old negro women were sometimes " used up" as " material" in these meetings at Vondootou, near New Orleans, one of whom escaped the sacrificial knife on ono occasion, and caused the arrest of the whole gang.—.3febile Tribune.
