On the 2d of August died in London, where he was born, George Osbaldeston, " the best sports man of any age or country." The fox-hunters of England, who gave to Mr. Osbaldeston this title, were at least competent to decide who was the fore most among themselves. his pre-eminence seems to have been attained by the combination of know ledge in hunting with skill in horsemanship. He made hunting the business of his life, and followed it with an energy and devotion which are seldom equalled in more serious pursuits. When he was a master of hounds, he would ride all night in order l i to be at the meet next day. Having originally the frame of a " pocket Hercules," and being habituated to the sportsman's labours from early years, his power of enduring fatigue became almost incredible. He backed himself to ride 200 miles in ten hours, and he did the distance in less than nine hours. He was a capital shot ; in the cricket-field he was a first-rate performer both with bat and ball ; and he was moderately successful on the turf. His best racehorse was Rifleman, who was inexplicably beaten by Saucebox for the St. Leger in 1855. But it was in " the Shires" that he gained his - fame, and the sayings and doings of " the Squire," as Master of the Quorn and afterwards of the Pytchley, will be remembered as long as the love of field sports is felt by Englishmen. The following particulars of the life of this cele brated sportsman are derived from a biographical article which appeared in Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes for March, 1861. We are • indebted to the publishers of that magazine, not only for the facts which are stated in it, but also for the cour teous loan of the only copy now in their possession of the number which contains the article. Mr. Osbaldeston was born in 1787. His father lived near Scarborough, and although the son was, to use Swift's phrase, "dropped" in London, he may be properly counted as a Yorkshireman. Losing his father at six years of age, he went to reside with his mother at Bath, where he took his first riding lessons. From Bath he was removed to Eton, where his larking disposition " brought him into frequent collisionwith the authorities" in a manner which need not be more particularly described. On leaving Eton he was placed uuder the care of Dr. Carr, Vicar of Brighton, who was afterwards elevated to the See of Chichester, but not, we believe, in recogni tion of his services in enabling Mr. Osbaldeston to matriculate. He did matriculate as a gentleman commoner at Brasenose. The biographer mentions that he had little to learn in the hunting-field when he went up, but he does not mention whether he had taken a degree when he went down. Possibly the case of Mr. Osbaldeston resembled that of a Cam bridge undergraduate of more recent times, who was heard to say, "If the examiners would only give me something to do with my hands or my feet, I could get through well enough," but who could not write a correct account of the working of the common pump, although he was able to take up a pot of beer with his foot and drink out of it. Having quitted Oxford, Mr. Osbaldeston devoted himself, without literary inter ruption, to the business of fox-hunting. That he was well bred for his work may be inferred from an anec dote of his mother, who, being told that her son had been hurt in hunting, at a time when she was keenly interested in a Yorkshire election, answered, " Don't talk to me about my son, he knows how to fall well enough. How goes the poll ?" He hunted the .Burton country in Lincolnshire for five years. Thence he went to Nottinghamshire, and he was afterwards successively master of the Ather stone, the Queen, and the Pytchley. The fame of Tom Sebright, who was first whip when he had the Quorn, was only second to his own. " His reign in Leicestershire has ever been regarded as the golden age of the chase." At the same time that he was master of the Pytchley, he hunted the Thurlow country in Suf folk for two seasons, going through the fatigue of travelling all night and meeting the hounds on al ternate mornings. His career as master of hounds FicArliMitl;Wri thirty-five years. LiALZ'LqF,c,,te-chase between Clasher and Clinker, he, being at the time High-Sheriff of Yorkshire, rode against Dick Christian. Ile was less successful as a jockey on the fiat. His riding of Rush at Heaton Park involved him in a duel with Lord George Bentinck. On the first day of the races Rush ran in the Trial Stakes, and, says the biographer, " from some cause or other, into which we will not inquire too closely, he was nowhere." Although, however, Rush ran badly on the first day, he won the Cup on the second day ; and Lord George, who had laid against him, applied strong language to the affair. Ilence arose a duel, which was happily terminated without spilling of blood. It would have been in deed a pity if a pistol-ball had interfered with the Squire's capacity for performing such an exploit as his " great match at Newmarket." The wager was a thousand even that he did not, with an unlimited number of horses, ride 200 miles in ten hours. The match was fixed for the Houghton Meeting in 1831, over a course of four miles. " The Squire's prepa ration simply consisted of galloping 65 miles of a morning, which generally took him about two hours and a half, and the remainder of the day he spent in shooting partridges for the relaxation of his muscles." The adversary of Time in this match was then in his 47th year. He used 28 horses, and did the dis tance in sevenhours, nineteen minutes, four seconds, or, including stoppages, in eight hours forty-two minutes. He was able to do full justice to a good dinner after his performance. Another and even more severe feat was his riding to a ball at Cam bridge and back between two days' hunting in Northamptonshire, when he was master of the Pytchley. As he was as active in a ball-room as elsewhere, he was thus in almost incessant move ment for two days and a night. He was one of the best cricketers of his day, and " introduced cricket into Yorkshire." He has been known to kill 98 pheasants out of 100 shots. In his 75th year, al though he had declined out-door sports, he was almost as good at the billiard-table as ever. To complete the above sketch of the Squire's life we cannot do better than transcribe from that popu lar book, Post and Paddock, the admirable descrip tion which Dick Christian dictated to " The Druid" of the match which he rode against Mr. Osbalde ston Clinker's and Clasher's was a great match ; they said it was 1,500 gs. a-side. They sent for me the night before, did Capt. White and Capt. Ross, and locked me into their room ! then they gave me their orders ; they says, " We mean you to wait, Dick ;" I said, " You'd better let me let the horse go along, gentlemen, and not upset him ; he'll take a deal more out of himself by waiting." So I got them persuaded round. Old Driver the groom was out side, and he comes up to me—" What do they slay? What do you want to wait for ?" So I told him I was to go along, and that pleased him, it did. We thought it was all right then. We weighed at Dalby, the Squire and I—bless me! I never was in such condition—and away we trotted to Gartree Hill. They were walking the horses about, and Capt. Ross be says to me, " Clinker looks well. "He looks too well, Captain," I said. Then he lifted me up, and he tells me the orders were changed, and I must wait. " It's giving away a certain ty, ,, says I, " and if I get a fall then I am all behind." But it was no manner of use talkin g . Sir Vincent Cotton and Mr. Gilmour they started us, and Mr. Maher he was umpire. We rode twelve stone a-piece ; I was in tartan, and the Squire, of course he'd be in green. When we were at the post, he says, " Now, Christian —I know what your orders are—l do ask one thing ; don't jump on me if I fall." I said, " I'll give you my word, Squire,' I won't." The gentlemen they could hardly keep with us, and some of them had two or three horses fixed. We were almost touching each other over Sharplands, and just before the road, I says, STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 11.—There has been a fair amount of business in shipping yarns to-day, at low prices. Many buyers have operated more freely from the impression that prices had for the present nearly touched the bottom. On the whole, the business has been rather considerable, but the prices taken have been very low. In home-trade yarns prices have been rather easier than on Friday, depressed as they wore then. Very little business has been done in them. In cloths only two or three houses have been dis posed :o enter the market during the last few days, and these have operated only where they could find goods offer ing A very low rates. Their offers met with acceptance to some extent, and thus a decidedly lower scale of prices has been established. Up to this time there had been no gene ral disposition to accept the lower rates, and even now' manufacturers in some cases are not willing to accept the full decline. To-day the cloth market is very flat, the amount of business done has been very small ; and prices, though to some extent nominal, are undoubtedly weaker. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of this day's cloth market :—"Prices have gradually drooped during the week, and the business has been confined to few hands, and only at very low prices. Though the business has been far from general, these low prices have found sufficient ac ceptance to establish much lower rates. To-day we have even less disposition to operate, and our market closes flat, with a very limited business." CARDIFF, 10th.—There still exists a good inquiry for n productive principally of g for ood the results, steam coal for the foreign mark e t s ; i n d ee d, f rom th e lengthened duration the demand has con ti nue d, it would appear that Welsh steam is obtaini ng th e f oo ti ng a broad c which has long been predicted for it.

For house coal there is a fair demand coastwise, and freights during the past week have slightly advanced, which has attracted a good many coasters. In the iron trade there is more vitality, a f e w good orders have been secured by some of the works, and, although most of the establishments are not very well employed, there is every prospect of trade generally becoming more brisk in the course of a few weeks. The home market has moved a little for the better. In pig iron there is no material change to record, while the tin-plate trade is looking more hopefully. LEEDS, 11th.—The weather has been very wet this morning, and the attendance of both buyers and sellers in the cloth-halls has, in consequence, been rather less than it otherwise would have been. The tone of the market was one of quietness, and the business done was small. The principal demand was for tweeds, in which a good business has for some time been doing. Good grays and dark shades in fine and middle qualities command a ready sale. The country manufacturers report that they are tolerably well employed, but the orders iu hand are mostly for early deli very. There is no change in the price of wool. The flax trade is rather quiet, but the hands aro iu fair employ. The prices of yarns and threads are about the same as last week, and so aro those of flax, but the inclination appears rather downward. _ ROCHDALE, 10th.—We cannot report any improvement in the flannel trade this week. The manufacturers are fairly employed, and their stocks, which are not larger than usual at this season of the year, have been reduced a little within the past few weeks, there having been an in crease in the demand for both heavyand fancy goods. There was but a small attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and their chief purchases were printed and fancy fabrics, which fully maintained late rates. The Yorkshire goods trade, which has shown a slight improvement of late, was quiet, and but a small quantity of goods changed .hands. The price of wool is firm. PRICY 4d. STAMPED bd. " Squire, you're beat for a £100," bit he never made no answer. Joe Tomlin and Charles Christian they stood close against Twyford Brook ; I got well over that. Then we had some rails, such stiff uns ! Clasher hits them with all four legs, and chucked the Squire right on to his neck ; Clinker took 'em like a bird. We were each in a mess then ; the Squire he lands in a bog, and his horse makes a dead stop, it did take a deal out of him ; then I jumps right into a dung heap, up to Clinker's knees : we had no manner of idea the things were there. Going up John o' Gaunt's field we were together, but I turns to get some rails in the corner, he was such a good one at rails was Clinker ; I thought he was winning, but deary me, down he comes at the last fence, dead beat. Clinker he lays for some minutes, and then he gets up as lively as ever ; the horse looked in no manner of form, as round as a hoop for all the world, as if he was going to Horncastle Fair. They held Clasher up, and they flung water in his face, and he won in the last hundred yards from superior training, and that's the honest truth. M any did n 't like Clinker, but I never got on so goo d a steeple tehas, ott steeple chaser.lClteinli you one tho ug h t h at was bet er,that's gham ; I won the Grantham Steeple Chase on him, and Mr. Greene bought him for 200 guineas. How hard " the Squire" did ride that match day to be sure I I went up to call on him one afternoon at St. John's Wood, and he pointed to that picture of the finish, hanging up just oppo site the fire-place, and he says to me—" Dick, that Clasher and Clinker day beat me a deal more than the 200 . mi1e,5." He was at his horse all the way. Here is another sketch from a later " lecture" of Dick Christian, which is to be found in Silk and Scarlet : The Squire was the oddest man you ever saw at a cover-side. He would talk for an hour ; then he would half-draw, and talk again, and often blew his horn when there was no manner of occasion—always so chaffy . . The whips mostly drew the cover, while he was talking. Very keen of the sport though; sometimes have two packs out in one day : get away with his fox like a shot. Al ter that second leg business, he was a bit nervous in a crowd ; he wanted a wide berth. At a fence it would be, "Now it's my turn—don't press." If he could get well clear of them he went like a bird. He was a rare match-rider across country. I never see a better at that game. In Bally's Magazine for the current month is a notice of the Squire's death, from which we borrow the graphic description of him as "a little, short, square, dumpy man, with a shrunk-up figure, round shoulders, and limping gait, with battered features and teeth all set wrong." The Squire beat Time at Newmarket, but Time had his re venge in London. Perhaps the most obvious re mark upon his career is that which we made on the occasion of the death of his comrade of old days in Leicestershire, Captain White—that it is almost incomprehensible how a man of such adventurous spirit could be content with fox-hunting in England between the years 1805-15. The career of Dick Christian is intelligible, for he mighthave served his country through the French war and never have risen higher than to be a sergeant of dragoons ; whereas, in his capacity of rough-rider to many noble lords and gentlemen, he had no reason to complain of being kept in the " cold shade." There are the men who go into the army and find oppor tunities, there are the men who go and do not find them, and there are the men who prefer fox-hunt ing at home. As in each of these three classes there are many men of nearly equal merit, an English Sovereign may venture to say on the death of almost any one Of her subjects— 1 trust I have within this realm Five hundred as good as he. But the Squire's place cannot possibly be filled. lie was the greatest of a great generation of sportsmen, and he was the last. It is true that he was not what is called an intellectual man, and just now we have been desired to take notice how intellect has tri umphed over courage and bodily vigour, combined with a little stupidity, in Bohemia. But, neverthe- M,Wlies..;toutismal=fins&sqlaigrat 41r--..Q411417: and roughrider, would not be a bad sort of stuff to go to work with. The International Workmen's Congress in Geneva. The principal question discussed at the meeting of the Congress, on Thursday last, was the comparative merit of the means adopted in England, France, and Germany for maintaining the rate of wages. Mr. Laurence from Eng land, was of opinion that the Association should supply the working men of each country with the state of the labour market in other countries, with a view of disabling masters from imposing their own terms on the men by the importation of foreign workmen. A tailors' strike took place in Edinburgh in 1859, and in consequence of the importation of journeymen tailors from Germany the Scotch tailors had to yield. The German tailors were then dismissed, and had to endure all the distresses of exile. M. Mira], from Paris, supported the proposition of Mr. Laurence. M. Coullery, a juge de paix, thought that the causes of the antagonism between labour and capital should be investigated. The chief of these causes was the concentration of capital in the hands of a few persons ; it was necessary, therefore, to decentralise capital, and the Association should promote this end by favouring savings banks, which would prevent the savings of labour from going to swell the profits of capitalists, and enable workmen to establish societies of production and consumption. The general object of co-operative societies was to make the workman a capitalist by means of labour, economy, mutual aid, and morality. No opponent would be mot on that road, and the end would be gained without vio lence and injustice.—M. Dupont, a deputy from Paris, ob served that co-operation was, perhaps, a good method for emancipating labour; but there was something more prossln g and more general for the Association to accomplish,and that was to draw up a statistical account of the state of the labourer in each country, and to publish that account regularly. In England strikes were much more numerous than on the continent, and this was caused by the legislation which placed the workman at the mercy of the master. It was above all things necessary that the workman of each coun try should be acquainted with what was going on elsewh ere. M. Tolain, also from Paris, said that in consequence of the state of the law in England, and the immense power of the capitalists, all the efforts of the working man to emancipate himself consisted in defensive organisation and resistance by means of strikes. Things were different in France, and the working men of that country expected more from association. Mr. Cramer (London) cited facts to show that the English masters succeeded against their workmen by the importation of foreigners, or the threat thereof. The evil existed in the comparatively low wages on the continent. The English workmen, therefore, in about their own interest, should endeavour to bring ge neral rise in the rate of wages, and this was the special ob ject of tho Englishidelegates. Id. Karr (Germs?) cont end edf w a g that what they should aim at was not the raising ° es, but the abrogation of wages altogether by ite labour and principle of of association, which would u s ba rbo.rous method, means of the pital in the same hands.

M. Chernolet (Paris) said that a strike was a vicious circle. It was as injurious to the men as to the masters. It procured a rise of wages to-day, to fall perhaps to-morrow. A strike was a last resort, but it was not a real and durable principle of amelioration. What was wanting was to suppress the principle of wages alto gether by means of association and co-operation. The Congress finally adopted the following proposition : " While admitting that in the actual state of industry, which is a state of war, workmen ought to lend aid to one another for the defence of their wages, the Congress de clares that there is a higher object to bo attained—the sup pression of the wage principle, and recommends the study and practice of economical processes based on justice and reciprocity." Other questions discussed in the Congress were " The Reduction of the Hours of Labour, "The Em ployment of Women and Children in Manufactories and Workshops," and " Professional Education." On the Rot Naval and Military Intelligence. The screw steam gunvessel Dapper, tender to the Britannia, left Plymouth on :gonday evening for Dartmouth. The paddlewheel steam frigate Leopard, IS, Capt. C. T. Leckie, was taken yesterday from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze, and placed alongside the jetty in Devonport dockyard to be dismantled and paid off. The screw steam surveying vessel Nassau, which left Plymouth Sound on Saturday, encountered severe weather, and returned yesterday. She will remain until the weather abates. The iron armour-plated turret ship Wivern, d, Capt. H. T. Burgoyne, having received men belong ing to the Channel squadron, got up steam yester day afternoon with the intention of leaving Plymouth Sound for Portland. The indicator cards and diagrams used on the occasion of the trial of the sloop corvette Reindeer were worked out yesterday by the officials connected with the steam department at Chatham dockyard, when the actual work done by the engines was fOund to be between 800 and 900 horse power. Comparing the results of the trial of the Reindeer with other vessels of her exact class, horse-power, and tonnage, the results are satisfactory. The following is the speed attained by each vessel of the Reindeer class on the occasion of the official trial :—Pelican, 17, 952 tons, 200 horse power, 11.666 knots per hour, engines manufactured by Messrs.

A most interesting circumstance occurred at Southsea on Monday, on the occasion of Blind Tom's concert, given on that evening at the Port land Hall. Moscheles was present, and when the invitation was extended to any one of the audience to come upon the stage and play a piece which Tom should imitate, the veteran composer stood forward amid the most enthusiastic applause of the audience, and, seating himself at the piano, improvised a brilliant nzorceaux, which, on being asked if he thought Torn had ever heard before, replied, " Never," indeed, he did not believe he could him self repeat it, being an impromptu of the moment. severee 0 , st againio test,n bril liantly p rr Tom, taking the professor's place, produced the ut s s O w a a o s C e r o e n i m itation so perfectly that Moscheles stood amazed; e a x n oe d me , s s t In a v g r o e n e t d l h y re erfe b e u i pl em v c i ee n sm g 00 f h r y o a n i l m s in p s i h s w arranged, and running one into the other melody with most difficult variations and harmonic intricacies. The pieces were, " The Last Rose of Summer," 44 Garry Owen," and " St. Patrick's Day," which, as before, Tom reproduced with a correctness and brilliancy that electrified the au dience, and so enchanted the great musician that he publicly stated he would be delighted to give a cer tificate of the marvellous fact which had just tran spired. This interesting incident will be further proof of the powers of this prodigy • " Blind Tom," and satisfy the most sceptical that there has been no exaggeration in the accounts of this wonderful boy. pleasure in stating usly gifted by naturo. lln justice to Ma marvellously that I think him C l E h ß av T e l ni F l u C ch A TE . at hap pened to be present a p erformance of his at Southsea, COPY d T O o F m and, at the request of Mr. W.

I then went so far as to play him that part of my " Recol lections of Ireland" in which the three melodies are blended, and even that ho imitated with most of its intri cacies and changes. Having tested his powers of analysing chords, I found them all that I could desire. I next put my hands on tho keys at random, and was surprised to hoar him name every note of such flagrant discord.
