Two boys, named Baker and Peck, were indicted for stealing about 1 cwt. of lead, the property of Mr. Smith, and a marine storekeeper, named Spiors, was indicted for receiving tho same, well knowing the same to have been stolen. From the evidence of a boy, named John Fox, it ap peared that he saw the prisoners Baker and Peck hanging about the premises of Mr. Smith, a cowkeoper in Maryle bone, and the lead stolen was originally an old pump from which the water supply of the yard was procured. The pump was forcibly broken down by the prisoners, and although it was worth about £5 to the owner it was sold at the shop of the prisoner Spicrs for a few shillings. A wit ness named Bacon said ho was sleeping in a loft in the yard unknown to Mr. Smith, and about half-past nine o'clock on the night of the robbery the two younger pri soners came into the place. Shortly after Peck set to work to cut down the pump with a chisel and a piece of iron. It was got down and then broken up into pieces, and removed in parts from the yard, and sold at the yard of Spiers, in Tottenham-street. The witness also stated that he followed the boys, and saw them go into the shop, and afterwards that Spiers came to the door, and he heard him ask the two boys if any one was looking about, when Baker replied "No." Spiers then told them to bring in the lead at the side door, and then to get away as fast as they could. The prisoner Baker said Bacon was the one who was the most guilty, as he invited him (prisoner) to take part in the robbery. Peck said that Bacon was the party who actually tore the pump down, and that, ho did it with a crowbar. Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, said he was a cowkeeper, and occupied the premises in Oval-yard, Marylebone. The pump was an old-fashioned one, and it had cost him be tween £6 and £7 to replace it. Mr. Ribton (who defended Spiers)—You can't do with. out it, then ? Witness —No. (Laughter.) Mr. Ribton —A pump has an extraordinary tendency to increase the quantity of milk, has it not ? (Laughter.) Witness—Yes, when it is required. (Laughter) Mr. Besley (who prosecuted)—But Mr. Ribton you must not forget that cows drink water—(laughter) —and the pump therefore was a necessity in a cowkeeper's yard. The two boys, in their defence, said the real person who stole the pump was Bacon. Mr. Ribton, for Spiers, said that tho evidence was of a worthless character, and therefore he felt that the jury, as men of intelligence, would at once acquit his client of any felonious intention, who, in the present case, had been made the victim of a gang of idle boys. Bacon did not deny being the associate of the two lads at the bar, and, indeed, admitted that he had had some conversation with them relative to the robbery, therefore his evidence must be taken with the greatest suspicion. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty against Spiers and guilty against Baker and Peck. The Court was then informed that the prisoner Spiers was convicted last session of receiving a copper which had been stolen, and it was in consequence of tho circumstances that came to light at that trial that th. present charge had arisen. The learned Judge said it was fortunate for Spiers that the jury had come to a favourable conclusion with regard to the present charge, otherwise he should have been com pelled to pass a sentence of penal servitude upon him. He dOuld not conceal from his mind the great injury and temptation that was held out to boys to rob their employers by the way in which business was transacted in many of the shops similar to that kept by the prisoner, and put out of view altogether the case which had just concluded. He sentenced Spiers :o 12 months' imprison ment with hard labour. With respect to the boys, the witness Bacon's evidence was not free from suspicion ; therefore he should sentence them to a week's imprison ment, at the expiration of which they were to be well whipped and then discharged. By that means they, being young in crime, would have a chance of redeeming their character. SURREY SESSIONS—This Day. FIRST COURT. (Before J. E. Johnson, Esq., Chairman.) ROBBERY BY A CLERK. William Homewood, a clerk, was charged with stealing a gallon of rum from the promises of his employers, Messrs. Chaplin and Horn; the eminent carriers, to which he pleaded not guilty. Mr. Barnard appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lilley for the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that on the 7th ult. a cask containing 28 gallons of rum, from Messrs. Wedder burn's distillery, was delivered at the premises of Messrs. Chaplin and Home, Southwark. It was placed, by direc tion of the foreman, in the upper warehouse, and was quite safe at half-past eight in the evening, at which time he locked up the warehouse and deposited the keys in the usual place in the office. The next morning the prisoner was found hiding behind some wool-sacks in the upper warehouse by the manager of the establishment. On searching the place ho found about a gallon of rum in a pint pot, a bottle, and a bucket, of which quantity the cask, on examination, was found to be deficient. The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner not guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THEM?—Dennis Sullivan, a tall, well-grown boy of nine years of ago, but looking much older, carrying, rather than wearing, a heap of rags, which for any purposes of clothing or decency might just as well have been off as on, was charged with stealing 4s. Gd. from his mother, Mary Sullivan, a widow, living in King-street, Drury-lane. The mother, who gave her evidence with every appear ance of emotion, said that she went out to work yesterday morning about 10 o'clock, leaving under her pillow a pocket containing 4s. Gd., with which she intended to pay her rent. When she came back at about six o'clock in the evening she found that the money was gone. The neigh bours told her that they had seen the prisoner spending money. It was not the first time he had robbed her, and his bad conduct was breaking her heart. Ho was always up and down the street with the worst of characters. Mr. Flowers—Why did you leave the money where ho could get it if he had robbed you before ? Witness— I thought he would not take it, me being so poor and his father dead. - The Prisoner--I did not take the money. I was out selling flowers all day, and my mother came home blind drunk. The Mother—Don't believe him, your worship, he is a dreadful liar. All the neighbours know it. _ Jeremiah MacCarthy, a labourer, living a few doors from the prosecutrix, here tendered his evidence. He said the prisoner was a very bad boy, and in the habit of calling his mother bad names. He had known the prisoner steal money over and over again, but he knew nothing. about this charge. Mr. Flowers—l thought this man was to prove either that the mother was sober, or that the boy took the money ? MacCarthy—No, sir. I came to prove what an out rageous scoundrel ho is to his mother. Mr. Flowers—But, you know, ho says ho did not take it, and, by law, I can do nothing without proof. MacCarthy said the boy ought to be put into an insti tution. Mr. Flowers observed that it was \ Very well to say that, but there were so many who wanted to put their children into institutions that those places were now full. There was no room for any more. The Mother—lt would be a great charity, sir. Mr. Flowers —The child is in a deplorable condition. _ _ _ Redshill, tho gaoler—He is, sir. Ho is nearly naked, and his feet aro bare. His toes aro sore, and several of he nails are off. Mr. Flowers —I shall remand him for a week. You must bring evidence to show that he took the money, and I shall consider what is to be done. IiARLBOROUGII-STREET. A BARMAN CILA-RGED 'WITH ROBBING liIS EMPLOYER.— Benjamin Price, a young man, barman in the employ of Mr. Edward Williams, of the Two Ships Tavern, Old Compton-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following robbery. Mr. Williams said the prisoner had been in his employ about a week as a barman. Last night he discovered two shillings and two sixpences in a part of a till where they ought not to have been, and thinking the circumstance very suspicious, ho replaced the coins with marked ones of a similar kind. The coins remained in the till all night, and in the morning ho followed the prisoner down stairs. After tho prisoner had cleaned out the till, that being part of his duty, he wont down to the cellar, and on coming up again ho (Mr. Williams) looked in the till, and finding the marked coins gone, called the prisoner into his bar parlour, and taxed him with robbing him. The pri soner said he had only taken one shilling,, and that he had never done anything of the kind before. Ile then asked the prisoner to let him see what money ho had got about him, and the prisoner then took from his pocket the whole of the marked money, and two sixpences besides, and he then gave him into custody. Wzn. Williams, cellarman to the prosecutor, proved marking the money, and seeing the prisoner take it from his pocket. Thomas Davis, 227 0, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he said he was very sorry, and that ho had never done anything of the kind before. Tho prisoner wished the case settled at once, and pleaded guilty. _ _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt said for the sake of two or three shillings the prisoner had forfeited his character, and ) would be im prisoned, with hard labour, for six weeks. Sussex-street, Pimlico, said at about 10 o'clock last night he was ejecting a man from his house, and there was a crowd at the door. He suddenly felt a hand at his scarf and missed his pin. A gentleman then said prisoner had got it, and the latter was dragged into the house, where he showed fight, and witness struck him. The pin was not found on him, but on the ground near the door, and then witness having got his pin ejected the prisoner from the house. Mr. James Bayley proved seeing a hand go to Mr. Pearso's scarf, where the pin was, seeing the hand come away, and no pin in the scarf, and seizing the hand, which was the prisoner's. There was no pin in it. He searched for the pin, and found it near the doer, where it must have been dropped by soma; one after the prisoner was taken into the house. Edward Penny, a boy, said he saw prisonor take the pin, but his evidence was contradictory. James Sutton, 162 B, saw the prisoner ejected : he would not go away, saying he would not be hit for nothing. Shortly after he was called-to take prisoner. Mr. Sella could not understand why Mr. Pearse, know ing he had the,thief, struck him, and pushed him out of the house, not giving him in charge. It was not tho act of a thief to remain outside the door and not go away, and he thought no jury would convict. The prisonor was well known, and had better be careful. He was now dis charged. The Great Explosion Opposite New York. The papers brought by the Java give details of the terrific oil explosion opposite New York, the facts of which were published by telegraph on Satur day. The New York Herald says : " Shortly after 8 o'clock on Sunday morning the inhabitants of Jersey City and Hoboken were alarmed by a loud rumbling, like thunder, that shook the earth and conjured up to timid hearts premonitory symp toms of an earthquake. Immediately after volumes of black smoke rolled into the air, and it was per ceived to proceed from a spot adjacent to the Pavonia ferry. The kerosene oil dock, leased by C. 11. Valen tine and Co., the tobacco and cotton dock held by Jarvis and Co., and the Erie Railway Dock, were all on fire. The latter escaped pretty well, through the ex traordinary exertions of the firemen, but the whirling surge elsewhere had struck with such terrific effect that it mocked the puny efforts of man to cope with it. Storehouses on land and vessels in the water succumbed to the fiery element, and in the general ruin 13 human beings perished. One man lies agonising at the verge of _the grave, several others are undergoing more or less suffering, and, con sidering the sudden and devouring sweep of the fire, it is miraculous how the others escaped. Neither life nor property was pitied, and the occasion is one not soon to be forgotten. "At 10 minutes to eight o'clock on Sunday morning Henry Kevral, mate of the schooner Alfred Barrett, of Boston, brought breakfast to Captain Kelly, who was lying ill in the cabin. Another man was in the vessel, familiarly known as Arthur,' besides the mate and Kelly. When the mate was returning he heard something crack under his foot like a match, and instantly he was surrounded by a sheet of flame. He ran on deck, and, having reached the deck sank down from con sternation and the prostrating effect of the heat through which he had passed. He was quickly aroused by the crash and rumbling of the barrels which were falling after the explosion, and he reached the clear air with difficulty. His hair and beard were burnt off, his clothes almost consumed, and when he reached the hospital it was found that his face was badly burned and his fingers were almost a crisp. There was scarcely a part of his body that escaped the fire. It is thought that he cannot possibly recover. " Captain Kelly and his brother, the mate, with Arthur, above alluded to, perished. Two women and a child, on a canal boat, were seen rushing on deck in flames, and, uttering fearful shrieks, sank back into the fiery pool. The child tottered over board. Three other children who were in this boat were also lost. The captain and two men of a lighter lying outside the Barrett fell victims to the flames. On the lighter Smith a man rushed wildly along the deck in flames, and, seeing no hope of succour, plunged into the water and disappeared. The mate, Kelly, of the Barrett, was seen hanging over the stern of the vessel, while his clothes were on fire, and his body remained in this position for nearly three-quarters of an hour. A sailor of the brig Matron had a vest burned off his back; still he persevered in efforts to save his vessel. A cap tain of a lighter ran away while his clothes were on fire, badly burned about the face. He was so terror-stricken that persons who pursued him were left far behind in the chase. Few, if any, es caped uninjured. In the explosion of the lighter lying next the Barrett, mentioned above, a man was blown up 60 feet in the air, and fell into the river. Those who witnessed the frantic rushing to and fro of the women were almost paralysed with terror. One of them, who ap peared to be the child's mother, dashed forward be side the little one wild and frenzied with despair. Their terrible condition was horror in all its phases. Reason must have departed, for they rushed. across the deck in places where they could have found no footing, and they seemed to tread on air. A mur mur of terror and grief burst from the bystanders as the ill-fated beings sank into the water. The tenacity with which they clung to life must have been strengthened by the assurance that help would momentarily arrive. The little fellow instinctively resisted the decree of an inexorable fatality ; but in a few moments he had passed with his mother be yond the portals of life into the region of eternity. "No sooner had the schooner blown up than a scene of terrible sublimity presented itself. Barrel after barrel of oil caught fire with great rapidity, until on a space of over two acres there was one vast sheet of flame, capped, as it were, by black masses of rolling smoke, which mounted up like a pyramid until lost in the sky. Three piers, nearly 20,000 barrels of oil, and the sailing craft mentioned elsewhere, were blazing, defying the efforts of the firemen to subdue the fiery element. The oil floating on the water also caught, until here and there could be seen tiny jets of flame, which seemed to issue from the depths of the river. • " The lighters were soon consumed, not being heavily laden ; but the schooner Alfred •Barrett continued burning throughout the entire day. It was remarked that, although floating in 17 feet of water, she did not sink, even after her stern was burned to the water's edge. So fearfully intense was the heat that it appeared to prevent the water from rushing into the hold. About dusk a brisk breeze sprang up, which fanned the smoke away and revealed the flames and as each barrel in the hold caught, a long and round column of fire, large at the base and tapering into a slender, lightning-like streak, shot out from amid the general blaze and swayed to and fro until the oil was consumed. Column after column of this fire burst forth in rapid succession, forming a mag nificent panoramic view. On the vessels laden with tobacco the fire burned slowly and without consi derable extent of flame. Nevertheless, the efforts to sudue it failed, in Consequence of its being low down the hold. Late in the evening several jets of flame burst from the sides, and, after creeping up to the deck, exposed the ribs of the vessels and showed the burning tobacco. " The office of the oil company was totally de stroyed, together with all its contents. A large number of valuable papers were also consumed, to gether with the books. The safe is reported to have sunk into the dock, and will be got out." THE CAUSES OF THE LATE CRISIS IN THE CITY. — All the globe over we have attempted too much for our means ; those moans have been prematurely exhausted: the works begun were not carried to the stage of produc tiveness; they were stopped beiore they yielded any results ; and the capital is lost, now, if not for ever. It matters not whether the enterprises commenced were bubbles or judicious and well-planned schemes, thoroughly calculated to yield a large accession of wealth and in come ; either they were not finished, and brought nothing, or if completed, they could replace tho outlay only after a series of years. In both cases alike, if the sums thus ex pended exceeded the actual surplus, the stock of spare commodities in the nation, there must be poverty and distress. The cause of the disaster is very simple, but it is also very profound; it is sufficient to generate all the confusion and all the suffering. To spend too much, oven on wise and productive works, is a sure way to be come poor. A nation is only a collection of individuals. The man who begins more drainage or building than he can carry to completion must end in poverty; in the same way the surplus capital of the country, distributed by means of the money market, if invested on works which remain unfruitful, is destroyed. Aud, the one vital, all important moral to draw is this—that the City, like an in dividual, if it desires to escape disaster, must combine the consideration of means with ends ; in other words, must endeavour to ascertain what surplus capital there is to spare, and then determine the number and extent of new enterprises accordingly.—Bonamy Price, in The Gentle man's Magazine. _ _ _ An organisation has been formed throughout the Southern States for the purpose of exhuming and inter ring in ~ ..emeteries the Confederate dead, and sites for this purpose have been purchased upon several of the great battle-fields. It is a curious result, reported from the South, that the sudden transition from slavery to freedom, together with the terrible sufferings of tho negroes since the war ended, has filled to overflowing all the lunatic asylums in the South. Many more blacks have become lunatics than whites. STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT ON TIIE THAMES. —Yes terday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, a serious acci dent occurred on the Thames, between Cherry-garden Pier and London-bridge. Ono of tho Woolwich and Watermen Company's steamers ran into a small boat con taining two men. The boat was completely stove in, and tho men thrown into the river. Ono of them disappeared immediately, and the other drifted with the tide under one of the paddle-wheels of the steamer, neither of them being afterwards seen, notwithstanding every effort on the part of the crow and passengers of the steamboat. THE ROSENEATH ESTATES.--It is said that the Roseneath estates of the Duke of Argyll, recently adver tised for sale, aro about to pass into the possession of an eminent Glasgow sugar merchant and successful yachts man. The price is said to be about £180,000. G-reenoe: itdrertiser. SPORTING INTELLIGE:NOE.—This Day 1 WARWICK RACES.—This DAY. BY ELECTRIC TEN:XGRAI'II. TRIAL STAKES.

LEGER. 5 to 4on Lord Lyon (taken) 4to 1 agst Savcrnake (taken) 10 to 1 agst Rustic (taken) 25 to 1 agst Westwick (offered) SPORTING NOTES. The St. Leger is the only race that there is any legitimate betting on, Lord Lyon still maintaining the premiership, notwithstanding the large outlays on Savernake. Rustic seems to be a" gone coon." Westwick is certain to beat Strathconan the next time they meet, and it would not astonish me to see him repeat the Warlock coup of 1856 by winning both the Ebor and the Leger. Speculation is now carried on simultaneously at so many different loca lities as to render a complete compilation of the quotations almost impossible. It frequently hap pens nowadays that more betting takes place at ono or two of the West-end clubs in the course of a few hours, than is transacted in as many weeks at the recognised resorts of the profesiionals. During the last day or two, however, some disposition has been evinced to back Knight of the Crescent, but notwithstanding his forward position, both in the Two Thousand and Derby, I have little faith in his capabilities, and fully expect to see Westwick finish before him in the race. The publication of the weights for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, about Thursday next, is looked forward to this year with an absorbing in terest, and, as usual, a whole legion of " Amateur Casuals" have besieged the sporting journals with attempts —often marvellously conflicting, to antici pate the Admiral's pronunciamento. It is to be hoped that the Admiral will not forget the " roping" performances of several horses during the last two months. The Cup, run to-morrow at Warwick, will be won by Rama or Elland, the former for choice, and Brick should secure the Welter Cup. The Nursery Handicap looks a good thing for Miller's Maid ; and the Grand Stand Plate Beeswiug ought to win. On Monday I hope I will be as fortunate in anticipating the judges decision for the St. Leger as I was in the Great Ebor Handicap, in my prophecy iu The Sun' of Monday, August 20, when I actually placed the one, two, three, in the order they came iu, viz., Westviick Gomera Scamander A prophecy rarely accomplished by any sporting writer. A FRESH MAN. WESTMINSTER A LUCKY ESCAPE.—AIfrod Bygrove, well-known to the police, was charged with stealing a diamond and pearl scarf pin, value 80 guineas, from the person. Mr . reuse, laudlorcl Q 1 040 Albion T4yeria? THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN.—SamueI Percoval, William King, William Allen, and Charles Gallafunt, mechanics, were brought boforo Mr. Partridge charged with violently assaulting police-constable Hawkins, No. 224 K. The complainant, who has been very severely injured, said he found Perceval in the East India-road, Poplar, at 1 o'clock this morning, and he lay down on the ground and appeared to be quite helpless. He raised him and told him to go home. The prisoner immediately kicked him. Tho other prisoners then came up and instigated Perceval to ill-use him. King kicked him and knocked him down, and while ho was down Allen came behind 'him and struck him repeatedly with his fist. After struggling with two of the prisoners on the ground he managed to rise. Perceval struck him again, and he then drew his staff and knocked him down with it. Allen then renewed his attack, and he also knocked him down with his staff. A man came up and sprung his rattle and assistance came. A shower•of stones was then hurled at them, and ono of thorn struck him on the helmet and another on the back. William Colo, shoemaker, of No. 25, Upper North-street, Poplar, heard a rattle spring, and went into the East India road, and saw a row. Ile oould not swear to either of the men. Edward Layton, a police costable, No. 290 E, heard cries of murder, and saw the prisoners upon the constable Hawkins. He heard King say to Gallafunt, "Give it him, serve him out." Both men kicked him. Ho assisted Hawkins and others in arresting the prisoners. Perceval was very drunk. The other prisoners were also the worse for liquor, but knew what they were about. The prisoners, who made light of the charge, said they were drunk, and that they had been knocked about by the police. A witness was called for King.—Ann Rent said the pri soner had lived in her house, No. 8, Park-place, Poplar, for two years, and knew him to be a very steady and honest man. Mr. Partridge, after a long investigation, said this was a case which must be severely dealt with. A savage and dastardly assault had been committed on the constable Hawkins, who was engaged with a drunken and violent man, and not only instigated the man Perceval to ill use the constable, but brutally attacked him. Ono of the prisoners, like a coward as he was, came behind the constable and hit him while he was down. Two of the prisoners were knocked down by the constable, who had a right to use his staff after he was ill used. There was very little difference in the guilt of the prisoners. If any there was a shade in favour of Perceval, and he should give him the option of paying a fine. He sentenced him to pay ..C5 to the Queen or be imprisoned for one month. He sen tenced the other prisoners to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. All the prisoners wore mechanics earn ing good wages, and he felt quite ,ashamed of thorn. Porcoval paid the fine and was liberated. MARKETS.?-This Day. HAY. SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, £4 4s to a 12s ; clover, £4 15s Od to ..£6 lOs Od ; and straw, £2 Os to £2 lOs per load. Demand inactive.

COLONIAL TEA.- There has been very little business transacted, the trade having deferred their operations until the public sales, which commence to-day, when a largo quantity will bo offered for public competition. SUGAR.—The market has been dull, although holders demand fully previous rates. In the refined there is little change of importance to report. COFFEE.—The supplies on offer have been moderate, but there has been a fair demand, and steady prices have been maintained. RICE. —Tho inquiries for cleaned descriptions have con tinued, and owners demand fully previous prices. The supplies on hand, however, are limited, compared with those at the corresponding period of last year. TALLOW.—The tallow market has been very steady dur ing the week, with only a limited business doing. The quantity of tallow offering on the spot has been small, and the transactions for immediate delivery have consequently i been somewhat res t r i cted. The price at St. Petersburg remains quiet at 54 sil. rs. ; the exchange is firm at 29k. To-day the mark e t i s steady, 46s is offered for October to December, 46s Gd December, 45s 3d is paid for old Y.C. on the spot, and 46s for new Ukrain. Town tallow, 44s 6d per cwt. not cash.

Sales, 6,000 to 7,000 At the public sales of wool 67,637 bales, being about one half the quantity to be sold, have passed the hammer. The attendance has improved, and foreign buyers compete with greater confidence, especially for some of the favourite descriptions. The superior wools of Port Philip are in demand fok France. Pair Australian are 2d. per lb. higher than at the close of the June series of sales; Aus tralian and Cape washed, ld. to lid. ; and ditto greasy, id. higher. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been very little ani►nation. Operations in tea have been deferred until to-day, when a large quantity of China pro duce will be offered for competition. Sugars have been in limited request, but at steady prices, while moderate transactions have taken place in coffee. Rice has continued in good demand at full prices, while in tallow the dealings have been to a very moderate extent, without any material alteration in prices. - THE ENGLISH WELSHERS IN FRANCE.--A con temporary states that the rumour of the conviction of Jones and the three other English welshers who were detected in their depredations at Deauville, is premature. The worthy quartette were brought up for examination before the Prefect, and fully committed, but their trial cannot take place for six or eight months. WIASMA.—Mr. Bcwes's fatuous brood mare died at Streatlam Paddocks on Wednesday last, from the effects of dropsy, under which she had b een l a b o uring for some time past. Wiasma was bred in 1845, go t by Heiman Platoff, her dam Mickleton Maid, by Velocipede out of Maid of Luna, by Whisker out of Gibside Fairy by Hermes, Sze. She made her first appearance in the Oaks, for which she started second favourite, but was unable to obtain a nearer than the fourth position in the race, b e i ng b e aten by Cymbe, Attraction, and Q ueen of the May. She was put number m ,s i e n a u th , e b fi r :fren same year, Birdcatcher ; S tar of the East, by and up to th e p resen t year among th© m os t no t e d o f w hi c h are V reer feoruaßelllsa o Chanticleer; Mouravieff, by Pyrrhus the First; Klari koff, Kl ar i ns ka, and Klarnet, all by De Clare; and Taraban, byßataplan. She slipped a foal sho r tly before her death, and was again i n foal to De Clare. OLD TRAVELLERS.—The decay of inns renders impossible feats performed by men of our own time, though of the last generation. Old Dick Tattersall used to have a relay of hacks on the road between London and Grantham ; used to mount, after a day's work of auction at the extinct Corner, ride down one hundred and eight miles before morning, hunt the next day with the Belvoir hounds, and return by the same means to his duties. Sir Tatton Sykes, of Sledmere, the last of the real squires, who was satisfied to spend a largo income at home on hospitality, field sports, agriculture, and breeding Leinster sheep and horses to win the Derby, without troubling either the world ion, had a way o f t rave lli ng Charles Napier) to Epsom erqual distance to ride a rrce, (t o ow f p si ze o he l i sees little o i e • b h ye baggageiw. u o n r , l o d o f toas f a a s s n h i that would now be impossible. Wherever he slept the first night, ho borrowed next morning a clean shirtfroni the landlord, and left his own to be washed ready for his re turn. He repeated the operation at each resting-place on the road, returning by instalments each borrowed garment until ho arrived back at Sledmere in his own shirt. A small valise carried the satin brooches and silk stockings that replaced his loathers and long boots in the evening. The operation was ingenious, primitive, and clean ; but in 1868 the landlords with frilled shirts have followed the way of satin breeches, and aro known no more.—Dickens's " All Me Year Round."

In the first accounts which reached us of the meeting of the Philadelphia Convention, we saw little of a hopeful character. The first tele grams informed us that Fernando Wood, Clement L. Vallandigham, and George 11. Pendleton were among the delegates ; and this was quite enough to rouse our suspicion that the Convention was simply a great meeting of the foremost spirits of the late rebellion, who, defeated in a bad cause and not yet reconciled to the consequences of de feat, bad met to oppose in secret councils the Government they had failed to destroy • by open warfare. But subsequent despatches informed us that these objectionable men have retired from the Convention in deference to popular feeling, and that Major-General John 11. A. Dix, one of the heroes of the war, was elected to preside over the deliberations of the Convention. This was a hope ful sign indeed. General Dix was commander of the department of New York at the time of the great riot in July, 1863, and all through the war he showed his loyalty, his devotion to his country, his hatred of secession, and his faithfulness to the Union. The fact that such a man as General Dix, who enjoyed the confidence of all parties alike, was called on take the chair of the Convention, showed that the delegates were there not to make war upon Republicans, but by conciliation and moderation to pour oil upon the troubled waters, and to en- deavour to restore the Union by mutual concession and goodwill. _ _ T`The Philadelphia Convention has adjourned, and its work is before toe world. Who can question that work ? Who can come forward now and say that there is one single word in the resolutions of that body which does not breathe the true spirit of patriotism. We have very carefully studied the whole document, which begins with an expression of thankfulness to Almighty God for the return of peace to our afflicted and beloved laud. It de clares that the war just closed has maintained the authority of the Constitution ; it has preserved the Government and the Union, and that the Consti tution of the United States is the supreme law of the land. It lays down the law in the most unmis takcble manner that the Union is perpetual ; that no State or Convention of State has the right to withdraw from the r Unisson, oorherwise, to exclude, through their action in Congre ot any State or States from the Union. It cheerfully and hand somely recognises that it abolished slavery for ever, declares that there is neither purpose nor desire o al n l theirt, d nn d property. holds u t he part of the Sout h that it sh ould ever be re established, and admits tha pE t rio t nt h ae e leltyionin enfranchised slaves in all the States s h o uld receive, in common with e very right of person i t repudiates the b the debt of i the nation to b e and r e el deb inhabitants, aa proclaims a fi rm p urpose e al and t o sacred d is char gea inviolable, ll t er onational obligations and maintain unimpaired an d un i mpeached the faith - of the Republic. Nothing can be fairer than all this. Washing ton, could he have lived to witness this meetin g ,-, in wish shliNl lto Philadelphia, would have supported it, as all who their of country must opiniong candid a support mon i t . There ni( may be a difference patriotic Americans regarding President Johnson's recent position, but none can doubt his honesty, his sterling patriotisp, his devotion to the best interests of his country. For our own part, we cannot doubt such words as those uttered by the Philadelphia , Convention. If the South means repudiation of rebellion, secession, slavery, and all the evils which follow in their train, then we are with the South, for Lhen there shall be no more a South nor a North so far as political action is concerned. Massa chusetts and South Carolina, so long divorced, shall be wedded once again, and the era of Peace and Good-will shall be inaugurated in the Western Re public which shall last forever and forever.—Anglo- American Times. 10u et 1 20 201 too 1 100 100 100 all 100 100 190 100 100 Ito 100 100 107 I
