The Late Gale. On Wednesday morning at an early hour a ter rific storm swept along the Humber from the S.W. Shortly before noon, while the storm was about at its height, the passenger steamer plying between Hull and London left the Humber dock for the last-named port. As she passed between the piers, which also serve as breakwaters for the dock basin, she was driven by the force of the wind and the waves on the pier at the eastern side. She was very much shaken, but it was not supposed that any material injury had been sustained. When the steamer had got abreast of Killingholme, about 20 miles down the river, a rumour spread on board that the ship was making water. The pumps were sounded, and several inches of water found in the hold. The captain, therefore, determined to put about and return to Hull. It was with diffi culty that the steamer worked her way up against the ebb tide and al mos t h ea d w i n d, an d w h en s h e arrived at Hull it was found that there was about two feet water in the hold. The passengers were therefore landed, and it is thought that a portion, if not the whole,of the cargo will have to be landed. It was supposed that some of her plates were sprung when she drove on the pier. Several small vessels drove from their moorings, and were more or less injured. The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire Railway Company's ferry steamer was very considerably injured, her starboard paddlebox and a great length of the bulwarks on the same side be ing carried away. This damage was caused by the boat being blown broadside on to a tugboat belong ing to the same company, and which was also seriously injured. In the town a good deal of da mage was done. From one house the greater part of the roof was blown away. A telegram was sent from the Meteorological-office to hoist south drum, but this could not be done, as the haulyards had blown away from the mast. At Elm, near Wisbeach, on Wednesday, at 12.10 p.m., the barometer stood at 28.27, the thermometer at 54. A furious gale from the south was then raging. It began from S.E. and had gradually veered full S. On Tuesday night at 6 o'clock a bril liant meteor floated across the sky from within 5 deg. of the Pleiades. Its direction was full south, and its path inclined at about 15 deg. to the hori zon. Its length of course was estimated at 30 deg. It left a trail of sparks behind it, was of a brilliant blue, spear-headed, but not sharp, and for the last four or five degrees appeared to dive obliquely downwards and vanished. The trail of light and sparks was white. The size was about twice that of Venus. At Shields on Wednesday the weather was very stormy. The barometer stood very low. At noon the wind blew half a gale from the S.E., but about two o'clock in the afternoon it flew round to the N.W., and on Wednesday night it had settled down to a violent gale from the W. The rain was fall ing in torrents, and the night was extremely dark. Only one laden screw collier sailed at tide time, on Wednesday afternoon—the Fire Fly, for London, and she is likely to have had a rough night of it off the Yorkshire coast. The wind was off shore, and was not, therefore, so dangerous to shipping as it otherwise would have been had it been from the eastward. This morning about 5 o'clock a new clipper ship, the Persian Empire, did considerable damage to the West Hartlepool Dock-quay. At the time a gale of wind was blowing from the south ward. She was being towed into the harbour in charge of Mr. Leighton, a North Sea pilot, when, having got too much headway, she ran with tremen dous force into the quay near to the dock entrance, making the building thereon shake with the concus sion. She cut into the solid masonry work, crushing it six or eight feet in breadth, and smashing granite blocks to pieces. The ship, an iron one, does not appear to have sustained much damage. If she had burst open the dock gates, which at one time she was likely to do, th e consequences wou ld i n a ll pro bability have been very serious. A storm-warning from the Board of Trade has been hoisted to-night that a gale may be expected from the southward. On Wednesday morning the weather was very stormy in the West Bay of Portland. About 10 a.m. a brig was seen in distress, which proved after wards to be the Emmanuel, of Auray. After vainly endeavouring to weather the Bill of Portland, the captain found himself completely embayed, and having exhaused every effort to save his ship he pre pared in the most seamanlike manner to run her on the beach in the midst of a tremendous surf, an almost hopeless task. The inhabitants had by this time flocked down to the beach, and seeing that the spot the captain had selected was a most dangerous one, they, by waving flags and other signals, directed him to one about a mile further south, close to where Portland is joined by the beach. The captain understood the signals, and putting his ship's head to the wind kept her off until opposite the spot indicated. He then proceeded once more to beach his ship, and ordered his crew to lash them. selves on, and put his ship before the wind. Nothing could have exceeded the complete success with which the operation was performed, for she came in on the top of a tremendous rolling surf, and, as the tide was falling, she was left in about an hour's time almost high and dry. As soon as she struck one poor fellow was seen to clamber out on to the bowsprit, and, in spite of the remonstrances, shout ings, and wavings of those on shore to cling to the ship, he threw himself into the breakers, in the vain hope of being washed up on the beach. He was never seen again ; the rest, by waiting until the tide receded, were all saved. The brig is laden with timber, and was expected to go to pieces with the following tide. At Plymouth yesterday morning, at high water, two Government tugs and a merchant steamer started the emigrant ship Amoor about half her length ahead, when the tide ebbed, and she grounded again. She has been further lightened, and this morning another effort will be made to get her off. The tides are, however, increasing. In addition to the particulars from Bristol and the neighbourhood given in The Sun of yesterday, we learn that one of the pontoons connected with the landin g pier of the Bristol Port and Pier Rail way at Avonmouth was lifted by the force of the tide and carried a wa y. An iron vessel named the Curlew, engaged in the service of the British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company iu repairing a three-wire cable which connects Newport, Cardiff, and Swansea with Bristol, had to be abandoned at Aust-head and went ashore at Oldbury. The crew escaped in a boat, and after being driven up the Severn a distance of 13 miles they Succeeded in effecting a landing. At Weston-super-Mare con siderable damage was done, particularly to the boats of the local fishermen, several of which be came total wrecks, and scarcely one escaped uni n ,.. jured. The sloop Despatch was driven from her moorings against the sea wall on the Knightstone road, a portioi of which was knocked down by the collision, and a hole stove in the vessel's stern. Se rious injury was likewise done to a new vessel, of peculiar construction, belonging to Mr. J. Elw in. It was a kind of double canoe, and had been some time in progress, and was nearly completed. She draggedheranchor, and was also carried by the force of the gale against the wall on Knightstone-road. One of her sides was stove in, and some large holes made in herbottom. At Lundy three pilot boats were driven away, and one, No. 9, lost a man overboard. On Wednesday one of the most terrific storms that has been remembered for the last 20 years, passed over Monmouthshire. The sea-wall at Loughor was completely swept away for some distance, and the Great Western line, which for several miles runs within a few yards of the wall, was also swept away. The trains from below this point were inconsequence delayed about ten hours. At the Dowlais works the damage was great. The roofs of costly new buildings being uncovered, and two or three stacks were party blown down. The Prince of Wales, a vessel of 1,100 tons, Wen with coal, was wrecked on Aberavon Sands ; cargo and ship valued at £20,000. A vessel laying at the Risca wharf on the - Usk was carried by the force of the tide to the adjoining bank, and numerous other vessels were more or less damaged. At Burnout, Carnarvon, on Tuesday, about noon, a smack was observed in this bay under low can vas, the wind at the time blowing a strong gale from the southwest, and the sea running high. She was evidently making for Barmouth harbour, and had a signal flying, but as no other boat could get to her assistance in the event of her attempting the bar, and as there was no water for her to come in, the lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat In stitution was promptly manned and taken out through a very heavy sea. By this time she was close to the bar, but had tacked ship to the west ward, and was brought to an anchor about two miles outside. The lifeboat boarded her at two p.m., remained with her one hour and a half, and left two of her crew on board to bring her in next tide. At 7 p.m. the smack's chain parted, and it was with difficulty she was kept off the shore to wait the tide rising ; she was, however, ultimately brought in safely. The lifeboat crew were again in readiness in the event of anything happening to the smack coming in, as it continued to blow strong, and the sea was running very high on the bar, but fortu nately their services were nit again required. The vessel proved to be the Dahlia, of and for Port madoc, from Newport, with three men on board. About 1 a.m. on Wednesday a gale from the south west broke over the coast of Cornwall with fearful fury. For five hours there was very little if any abatement. Numerous vessels went ashore along the coast, and the total loss of a small coaster and a foreign brig, the name of which is at present un known, are reported to have been observed. Many vessels were driven into Falmouth harbour for shel ter, and most of them require extensive repairs. At Truro two children narrowly escaped severe inju ries, the roof of the cottage having been partially blown into the room in which they were sleeping. Some farm buildings near Truro were brought to the ground, and many fine old trees were blown down. In Dublin Bay on Wednesday during a tremen dous squall of wind (reports Inspecting Chief Offi cer Haghes, R.N., of the Coastguard) a lighter in the employ of the Board of Works, engaged in re moving mud from Howth harbour to the Sound, was observed to be in a very dangerous position close to the east pier head, and holding on merely by a slight rope, which, had it broken, the lighter must either have drifted out to sea or else have been dashed to pieces against the east pier, the men on board her, five in number, being in either case in great peril of their lives. The lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was launched at the request of the master of the steam dredging machine, no other aid being available, and the five men res cued from their dangerous position. BLACKPOOL, Thursday. The Rev. R. R. Resman reports that about half past seven p.m. on the 22d inst. intelligence was brought that a vessel was in distress at the north side of the town. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was conveyed with all expedi tion opposite the scene of danger, and in a few minutes was launched into a raging sea. So strong a surf had the: crew to encounter, that the life boat filled three times in succession, and with diffi culty lived against the wind and waves. After hard pulling they got within a hundred and fifty yards of the perishing ship, but at this point so complete a gale set in for half an hour that three races of sea broke over the men, and smashed four oars. The lifeboat was then backed into shallow water, and rowed up to windward, in order to make a second attempt, but they could not get so near as before. Driven back again, they by and bye made a third effort, and now saw a light held from the imperilled ship, but found it utterly im possible to make an advance against the heavy head sea that was rolling, and which for two hours and a half had been filling their boat as they courageously fought with the billows. The crew being exhausted after two and a half hours hard service, and seeing all their efforts to be futile, came on shore ; no sooner had they done so than the vessel capsized and broke to pieces, one side of her was washed up, and the cries of struggling sailors was distinctly heard. The lifeboat was again put to sea in the hope of picking up men that might be on rafts or otherwise trying to escape, but nothing living could be found. It was now nearly midnight, and the lifeboat found herself locked be tween two cliffs on the beach, from which position she was unable to get away without damage until six o'clock this (Thursday) morning. All the crew of the ill-fated ship were lost. Five bodies have already come ashore as I write, and five more arc wanting. It appears by the log-book, which has been picked up, that the vessel was manned by ten men, and is the brig Favourite, of Liverpool. She was loaded with palm oil and seeds. Much praise is due to the Blac'ipool crew who acted with so much promptitude and courage in the sad emer gency ; they have increased confidence in their lifeboat. I can hardly describe the sensation that prevails here over this disaster; every one is out on the shore, and many have been out all night. The wailing of excited women, who thought they heard i • the sailors screaming, was touching. The wreck was about a mile from shore. NORTHCAWL, S. WALES, Nov. 23. As reported yesterday (says Capt. Buchan, R.N.) the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was conveyed to windward of the distressed brig an chored about two miles off this place, and was finally launched, but the sea was running so high that she could not at first board the vessel, which was evidently abandoned, and the crew of which, I fear, have met with a watery grave, as a boat is now drifting on shore bottom up. The lifeboat crew were ultimately enabled to get on board the ship, which proved to be the brig Argo of Payal, orange laden, and they got her under weigh and brought her to this port. The vessel is much in jured, as though she had struck on the Tusker Rock off this place. TIIE PACIFIC RAILIZOAD.—This end of the Pacific Railroad is wakening up at last ; new elements have been gotten into the. Company that has been dallying with this small responsibility, and a million of dollars is put up to push on the work; bat we trust this will not so satisfy the public and Congress that all is now right, as to dull scrutiny and pacify rigorous demand for the most prompt and aggressive action henceforth and continuously. One of the very first acts of Congreas, in December, should be to appoint an earnest and honest committee of investigation on the subject. —Springfield Republican. The first 40 miles of the Kansas branch of the Pacific road have been accepted by the President, and Go vernment bonds amounting to $700,000 will bo imme diately issued to the road. The Treasury Department of the United States is prepar ing to immediately issue United States bonds amounting to $610,000 to the Union Pacific Railroad Company, Eastern Division, or at the rate of $16,000 per mile, in accordance with the law of Congress, forty miles of the road having been completed. In addition to this aid by the Govern zuent, certain quantities of land are to be given as the sur veys proceed and the road progresses. The Vermont Legislature passed an act, on Nov. 1, rati fying the decree of the Chancellor, authorising the managers and receivers of the Vermont and Canada rail roadsr_, to b orrow 5700,000 on ten years 8 per Cent. Bonds, he property and income of the roads are to be pledged a 3 security for the bonds. resting nitoeurvilsehumtsen Du Barry ' s delicious t o e r e A t of the best meat, sales fifty yd times a lt i h ts rabica Food, which oonteins three cost in other remedies, nervy s, sound lungs, hea r i e t a i t i or i e t s perfect digestion, strong tion al regularity, and ener7yYto v4 , r, refreshing sleep, func feeb:ed, removing speedily and (Ire most disordered or (dys pepsia),en- habitual constipation, dia; r a h tu ce a t lly indigestion compl-ints, flatulency, nervousness, bil , o limmorrhoids, liver throats, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in fevers, sore ear , rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptionti n h the t head and neu ral4,ria, irrita'Jility, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitYast oerniali burn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, ;la:ear:l and sickness , sinking fits, coughs, asthma, bronchitis, inc‘C pient consumption, scrofula, tighte ess of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach, between the shoulders, Sic.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LEAMINGTON AND WARWICK HUNT MEETING. THURSDAY. The gale had subsided this morning and the sun shone brilliantly, but the weather failed to attract any larger at tendance, which has been below the average during the week. The fields in the early part of the day showed a slight falling off, and the sport, with the exception of the Leam ington Grand Annual, was not very interesting. Three soy. handicaps, with the munificent sum of 30 added, are not events calculated to cause much excitement except to mere gamblers ; neither were the horses who ran to-day much above plating form. Mr. Heathcote has been a very fortunate man lately, and to-day his new purchase, Gulnara, bought at Lord Stam ford's draught sale on Monday, won the Shorts Handicap very easily at the nice little price of 10 to 1. There was a very fine race between Donnybrook, Venturesome, and Naiad, in the Handicap Sweepstakes, the latter landing by a short head, and the other two making a dead heat for second place. The Bra.dgate Cup was remarkable for the tedious delay of nearly an hour which preceded the start. Mr. M'George was unable to get them into any order until the stewards wont down to the post, and then their autho rity got them despatched, the two favourites, Money spinner and Goldylocks, making all the running, and the former winning by six lengths. The Hurdle Race, in con sequence of this long delay, was put off, and the Grand Annual proceeded with. The late hour at which the race was run, and the necessity of despatching our parcel, pre vents us from recording more than that the favourite, L'Africaine, cut down his field after a fashion rarely seen, and won amid loud cheers by 40 lengths. Mr. Powell has thus well followed up his success with Fisherman yester day, and probably possesses in to-day's winner the best steeplechaser we can show. The starting was bad, and caused two events—the Hurdle Race and the Hunt Cup Steeplechase—to be aban doned. At the same time we must remark that the chief fault lies in the absurd overcrowding of the card with nine events on a short November day. The objection to Tiger, in the Tally-ho Stakes, on the first day, has been withdrawn. The Scurry Flat Race (Handicap), of 5 sovs each, h ft, with 20 sovs added, for all ages. The winner to bo sold by auction for 50 sovs each. To be ridden by gentle men. Five furlongs. Seven subs. Mr. T. Hughes's Glendusk, 4 yrs, list 21b (Captain Little) 1 Mr. Chinnery's Doeford, 3 yrs, lOst 101 b (Mr. Edwards) 2 Mr. Saxon's The Abbott, 4 yrs, lOst 41b (Mr. Wood) 3 Mr. W. E. Jones's Squire Hearty, 3 yrs, lOst (Mr. Wickham) 4 Betting-5 to 4 agst Glendusk, sto 2 agst Doeford, and 4 to 1 agst any other. Doeford slipped her horses at the start, and came on with a clear lead of the favourite, who joined her at the distance, the pair running together to half-way up, when Glendusk drew away, and won in a cantor by four lengths ; a head separated the second and third. Squire Hearty was beaten off a long way. Tho winner was not sold. The Winding-up Handicap of 10 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 addod, for all ages. The winner to be sold for 300 sovs. Winners extra; the second horse to save his stake. One mile. 12 subs. Mr. T. Hughes's Juliet, aged, 9st 41b (T. French) 1 Mr. R. Ten Broeck's Forester, 3 yrs, 7st 71b ...(Murfitt) 2 Mr. Micawber's Liston, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b (Parry) 3 Mr. Heathcote's Convent, 3 yrs, Bst 71b (Hibberd) 4 Betting-7 to 4 agst Forester, 9to 4 agst Juliet, 3to 1 agst Convent, and 6 to 1 agst Liston. The favourite got away with a clear lead, which he re tained for 100 yards, when Juliet came out and won in a canter by a dozen lengths. The others widely distributed. The Shorts Handicap of 3 sovs each, with 20 added ; the winner to be sold by auction for 20 soya. Three furlongs. 16 subs. Mr. Heatheote's Gulnara, 4 yrs, Bst 41b (llibberd) 1 Capt. Machell's Jane Shore, 4 yrs, Bst (Cannon) 2 Marquis of Hastings's Hope, 3 yrs, Bst 41b (J.Grimshaw) 3 _ . The following also ran :—Echo, Sir Guy, Rustic Beauty, Saxon Beauty, Tesane, My Cob, and Merry Lass. Betting-7 to 2 agst Hope, 4to 1 agst Tesane, 7to 1 each agst Jane Shore and My Cob, 8 to 1 agst Echo, and 10 to 1 agst Gulnara. A long delay took place at the post in consequence of the fractiousness of Tesane, who repeatedly broke away with Heartfield. When the flag was lowered a most imperfect start was obtained, in which Gulnara, in company with Jane Shore, got away some lengths in advance of the fa vourite, who was on the turn, the others following at wide intervals, with the exception of Echo and Tesane, who were loft at the post. At the distance Guinara increased her lead, and ultimately won by a length. There were four lengths between the second and third; Sir Guy was fourth, My Cob fifth, Rustic Beauty sixth, and Saxon Beauty and Merry Lass next. The winner was bought by Mr. Wilson for 65 guineas; Capt. Machell claimed Hope, and the Mar quis of Hastings Jane Shore. A Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for all ages. Win ners after the weights aro published to carry Sib extra. Half a mile. 20 subs. Mr. Giubilei's Naiad, 2 yrs, sst 91b (Cameron) 1 Mr. Hodgman's Venturesome, 2 yrs, sst 91b ...(Murray) t Mr. Ifeatheote's Donnybrook, 5 yrs, 98t (Fordham) t Tho following also ran : —Attraction, Reindeer, Erin-go- Bragh, Wild Thyme, Miss Harriette, Acolyte, Jaqueline gelding, Peewit, Puritan, Flutter colt, and Tesano. Betting-4 to 1 agst Venturesome, sto 1 each agst Donnybrook and Attraction, 100 to 15 agst Naiad, 8 to 1 each apt Puritan and the Flutter colt, and 10 to 1 agst any other. The flag was lowered to an excellent start, in which Attraction, on the inside, got away with a slight advantage of Reindeer on his right, the pair being followed by Naiad and Venturesome, close in whose track came Donnybrook, Wild Thyme, and Miss Harriette. On reaching the distance Attraction gave way beaten, followed half-way up byßein deer, when the running was taken up by Venturesome on the extreme right, closely pressed by N aiad and Donnybrook to the stand. Here the three wore clear of their hors.3s, and ran locked to the end, and finished a splendid race home, Naiad in the centre being landed winner, through the fine riding of Cameron, in the last stride by a short head. Donnybrook and Venturesome finished so close together as to prevent the judge separating them. Miss Harriette was fourth, close up, Reindeer fifth, Attraction sixth, Wild Thyme seventh, and the Jaqueline gelding and Erin-go-Bragh, side by side, were next, the last three being the Flutter colt, Tina, and Tesane. Two-Year-Old Plate of 50 sous; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies, Bst 61b ; winners extra, with selling allowances. Five furlongs. Mr. York's Novice, Bst 41b (C3O) (Loates) 1 Mr. A.

Covey) 6 Betting-6 to 4 agst Novice, 3to 1 each agst Jura and Slender, and 100 to 15 agst Sabrina. The favourite, getting the best of the start, made play for the first 200 yards, when she was headed by Jura, who held the lead to the stand, where Loates brought up Novice, who won cleverly by a neck, the Palm Leaf colt and Slen der, who headed Jura a few strides from home, finished second and third; Jura was fourth, close up. The winner was bought in for 200 guineas, and Mr. Ten Broeck claimed the Palm Leaf colt, and Mr. W. Scott Slender. The Bradgate Cup, value 100 sovs, added to a handicap of 10 sovs each, 3 ft, for three-yr-olds and upwards ; the winner of a handicap after the weights are out (Nov. 21, at 5 p.m.) to carry 71b extra. Entrance, 2 sous. Three quarters of a mile. 41 subs. Mr. John Dawson's Moneyspinner, 3 yrs, sst 71b (Kenyon) 1 Lord Uxbridge's Goldylocks, 4 yrs ' Est 9lb (lleartfield) 2 Mr. Morris's S acc h arome t er , 5 yrs, Bst 121b...(Pordham) 3 The following also ran :—The Clown, The Plover, Blue Mantle, Lady Abbess, Catalogue, Pegasus, Wild Bee, and Jupiter. Sister to Drake was struck out at 11•30 a.m. Botting--5 to 2 agst Goldylooks, 5 to 1 (at first 100 to 30) agst Moneyspinner, sto 1 agst Saccharometer, 100 to 15 agst Catalogue, 10 to 1 agst Wild Bee, 100 to 8 agst Blue Mantle. Upwards of three-quarters of an hour was consumed at the post, and it was not until the two stewards, Lord Westmoreland and the Marquis of Hastings, went to the assistance of Mr. M'George that anything like order was obtained. At last they were despatched to an equitable start, in which Moneyspinner and Goldylocks got away side by side a length or so in advance of The Clown, Saccharomoter, Lion, and Catalogue, close up with whom came Blue Mantle, Wild Bee, and Plover. They ran thus to the first turn, when Lion ran through his horses, and became third, which position he retained as they came along the bottom. The leaders who bad been racing for the lead came round the turn into the straight together, but Money spinner running somewhat wide left Goldylocks next the rails with the lead, Lion at the same time hugging the turn so close had to bo stopped, which let up Catalogue and Saccharometer, who followed the leaders. At the dis tance Moneyspinner recovered her lost ground, and, head ing Lord Uxbridge's filly, came on with a strong lead, and won in a canter by six lengths. Saccharometer cantered in a bad third ; Blue Mantle was fourth, Pegasus fifth, Catalogue sixth, Wild B ee sevent h , Pl over e i g h t h , an d Jupiter next. The last three wore Lion, The Clown, and Lady Abbess. The Leamington Grand Annual Handicap Steeplechase of 20 sovs each, 10 ft, an d 3 only if declared, &c, with 100 added ; winners extra ; th e second horse to save his stake. Four miles. 40 subs, 18 of whom declared. Mr. Powell's L'Africain (late Falendre), 6 yrs, list 131 b (G. Holman) 1 Mr. Bilham's Sly Fox, aged, list llb .......,,,,,(J. Land) 2 Baron Finot's Astrolabe, 5 yrs. list 121 b ......... (Kinns) 3 The following also ran :—Marble Hill, Portland, General Election (late Roulette), Merrimac, Ace of Hearts, Sugar Candy, Express, Valentine, and Salamander. Betting.-2 to 1 against L'Africain, 4 to 1 agst Sly Fox, 5 to 1 agst Ace of Hearts, 7 to 1 agst Astrolabe, and 10 to 1 agst Sugar Candy. Ace of Hearts jumped away clear of his horses, and came on a length in advance of Express and L'Africain to the first fence en the far side, at which Express fell, giving Searle a regular cropper. This error left the favourite in attendance upon the leader, but after going a few strides he was pulled back, and his place was taken by Sala mander, Sly Fox going on fourth, with the two French representatives side by side next. Theu came at an in terval of several lengths Marble Hill, Sugar Candy, and Merrimac, in close company, heading the next division, in the rear of whom were seen Portland and General Election, and the remounted Express. With little or no alteration they retained these positions to the water jump, which the three leaders came at abreast, Ace of Hearts, however, being the first on his legs on landing, stole a march of his attendants, and proceeded on with a clear lead, which he increased as they entered the Lammas Land, but Page, overlooking the flag halfway up the hill, ran some distance, followed by Salamander, before they discovered their mistake, and by the time they had re traced their stepts they were left in the extreme rear, in company with Mr. HeatEcote's horse. This mistake left the lead with Astrolabe, who was followed by Sly Fox, the favourite, and Sugar Candy, wno formed the van to the water jump a second time, the others, headed by Portland, Valentine, and Merrimac, following at wide intervals. On entering the meadows a mile from home, L'Africain having disposed of Astrolabe, who shortly after gave way to Sly Fox, the pair came on together to the Star close, when Holman put on the steam, and came on with a long lead, and won in a trot by 40 lengths ; Astrolabe was third, a length in the rear of Sly Fox, Sugar Candy fourth, Merrimac fifth, and Portland beaten off a long way. THE SUN, LO LION, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1865. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The law's delay was, in the opinion of the Prince of Denmark, one of the thousand natural ills which might drive a man to shake off the bur den of life, unless he were restrained by the fear of something after death. But this curse, so oppres sive to humanity generally, seems to be a blessing to one particular class—the political evildoers in a free country, with a fair supply of money and clever lawyers to back them. The legal advisers of the Crown in Ireland, and all who are concerned in the prosecution of the Fenians, must expect to have a difficult time of it. If the gentlemen who have " virtually established" the Irish Republic had shown as much skill in their political and military arrange ments as they have in their legal proceedings since their capture they might have given the Govern ment much trouble. The difference probably arises from the circumstance that their acts were their own, while their defence has been the work of their lawyers. At any rate, they are now bent on proving what endless facilities a traitor has for defying the law even under the despotic sway of Queen Victoria. The lesson taught by O'Connell has not been lost on his more democratic successors. That agitator used to boast that he could drive a coach-and-six through an Act of Parliament. People, with all their respect for his astuteness, and while giving due credit to the ambiguities of Irish law, which in glorious uncertainty probably sur passes that administered in this island, thought that he exaggerated, and it was left to the last years of his life to prove that he had not overrated his powers. The history of the famous traversers, their protracted trial, and their final escape are still fresh in the recollection of their countrymen, who, with the help of the clever lawyers whom Dublin still maintains, are determined to fight the Government at all points. The Fenians are not content with de fending themselves; they assume the aggressive, and advance to the attack with a spirit which might well disconcert their opponents and puzzle the twelve judges, who have not seen such a flood of political litigation since they were on the Bench. There are proceedings against the Lord-Lieutenant, against the police, against Sir John Gray. Though the Fenians have all the authoritative and influential classes against them, though the Roman Catholic ' priests denounce them more bitterly than Protestant ' rectors would dare to do, though the Freeman's Journal vituperates them and the Nation describes the arrest of their chief in contemptuous terms, though, above the level of their own deluded fol lowers, they have not a friend in the country, yet the law takes them under its protection, and the insti tutions they have vilified and sought to destroy prevent the strongest Government in Europe from depriving them of a single chance of escape. The courts are occupied day after day with their proceed ings against her Majesty's representative, and it is even said that the case of " Luby v. the Lord-Lieu tenant," in which a certiorari was yesterday refused in the Queen's Bench, will be brought into the Ex chequer by the service of new writs on Lord Wode house. As there are plenty of Lubys ready and willing to worry the authorities, it is not impossible that the Castle will have to stand on its defence against a whole series of Fenian actions. It is an interesting spectacle, which we may recommend to the notice of our critics in either hemisphere. The Russian organs which compare Ireland with Poland, and think that the present action of the Irish Go vernment is the counterpart of the Russian pro ceedings in 1863, will do well to compare the sim plicity of General Berg's martial law with the technical procedure which has just occupied the three common Law Courts in Dublin. The Special Commission opens on Monday next. Great prepa rations have been made by the Government ; the cases against the prisoners, we presume, are com plete, and in the natural course of things the trials might be over before Christmas. But the Fenians were not all inclined to allow the Government to get rid of them so easily. A motion was made in the Queen's Bench yesterday on behalf of Luby, O'Leary, and Donovan Rossa for a writ of cer tiorari to remove any indictment that may be found against them at the Special Commission on the ground that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had in Dublin. If such a motion had been suc cessful, it would, of course, have been useless for the Special Commission to sit at all, as every Fenian would have the same right to have his trial postponed. The grounds on which this modest request was made were that articles have been published in the newspapers against the Fenian body, and also that Archbishop Cullen has de nounced their proceedings in a Pastoral. But if prisoners accused of treasonable practices are to have their trials postponed, and the Commission for trying them virtually superseded, because the public reprobates treason, it is difficult to see how justice is ever to be administered at all. It is not likely that three months hence any more than to day the heads of the Romish Church and the loyal newspapers will cease to express opinions adverse to Fenianism, and as the prisoners are the chief representatives of Fenianism in the country, and are to be tried for being so, such expressions of opinion must continue to prejudice loyal jurymen against them. In the case of any mysterious and horrible crime, like that of the poisoner Palmer, it may be well to postpone the case and send it out of the county for trial, because in the neighbourhood the matter has been discussed and argued with violence and obstinacy, and a great number of people have expressed opinions on the evidence which they may, perhaps, shrink from re tracting. But in such a prosecution as the present there could be no such reason. Everybody is con versant with and takes an interest in the matter, nor is it likely that one part of the country will be more or less prejudiced than another. If there be a difference, it is probably in favour of the greater fairness and impartiality of the capital, since the population of a large city is more mixed, and likely to yield juries of more moderate principles. The Queen's Bench, we are glad to see, have unanimously refused the writ of certiorari, and the trials will, we suppose, proceed, unless some new pretext for delay can be devised. In what ever way the prosecutions may end, the object of the Government and of all quiet people will be practically attained. Fenianism has failed. President O'Mahony and his Cabinet may collect their ten-cent notes, and the Senate may sit in secret or public session from one month's end to another ; but on thi#side of the water the thing is dead. The recent movement has demonstrated the good sense and loyalty of the educated class in Ire land, to whatever Church or shade of politics it may . belong. Those appeals to the passions of the igno rant, of the effects of which we have just had such a terrible example iu another part of the world, are now, happily, things of the past in Ireland. Every respectable man, whether he calls himself Orange man or Ultramontane, now feels that it is his duty to impress on all whom he can influence the necessity of living in peace with his neighbours of the rival creed, and the most extreme of them are less ex treme in their acts than in their hereditary opinions. The efforts cf the British Government to convince the people of its own just intentions, and of the good will of the inhabitants of Great Britain towards them, have made way after thirty years of incre dulity. The Irish know they have no burdens on their industry, no obstacles to their success in life ; that any constitutional anomalies . that remain are mere relics of the past, with little practical signi ficance, and that even these there is little indis position on the part of England to remove. " THE FARMER " ON AUTUMNAL ROSES.—Some little discussion has lately been raised by the ques tion, " Is the rose a florist flower ?" Unquestion ably it is ; and, moreover, no plant or tribe of plants has received longer-continued or more uni versal and careful attention at the hands of florists, and in none other has the triumphs of floriculture been more successfully and gorgeously developed. Our present object is not, however, to inflict a rose treatise upon our readers, but merely to throw out a few plain and simple hints for their guidance in managing autumnal flowering roses. " The twice blooming roses of Pasturn" are often referred to in the writings of Roman authors, but they seem to have been only single, or at most barely semi double varieties, belonging to the Highly flagrant damask section ; and although noticed by our earliest British writers little improvement or increase in their number was effected till after the beginning of the present century; and even now they are comprised in that very limited class denominated damask perpetuals, the so-called per petuity of which consists in their producing a scanty after-crop of flowers, the duration of which seldom extends beyond the summer-like weather of early autumn. To the introduction of the china, tea, and evergreen roses from the flowery lands of the east, and the mixture of their oriental blood with that of the old Provenge, Gallic, and other hardy roses of Europe, we owe our splendid modern! races of autumnal roses, of which even that now most important tribe " the hybrid perpetuals " had ; no existence till the second quarter of the present century. The first of these eastern beauties, the original "bluish China," or, as it used to be fami liarly called, " the monthly rose," was introduced to England in 1789, exactly ten years after the birth of Tom Moore, the famous lyric poet of Erin ; and as its growth was long restricted to the greenhouse, without any place being allotted for it in the rosebeds of the garden, it may be presumed that when he wrote his charmingly pathetic song, " 'Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming alone ; all her lovely companions" were " faded and gone" at what a modern rose grower would consider an early period of the season, and one at which he would expect to see his rosery stocked with a profusion of gaiety, richness, and depth of colouring which the roses of former days never possessed. Little wonder, then, that au tumnal roses should have become such universal fa vourites, even notwithstanding some drawbacks or deficiencies which they undoubtedly possess, the chief among which is their want of hardiness ; and to such an extent does this defect exist, that in the case of many of the Chinas and teas they cannot be trusted out, even in ordinary winters ; while most of the others, either when well-trained or grown in the open ground, are liable to be cut dote by our occasionally rigorous winters, in which the mini mum temperatures fall to, or nearly to, zero of Fahrenheit. And, certainly, to the enthu siastic rosarian who has prided himself on the possession of his unique gable covering, yellow China, his long, high, and fully clothed wall of Isle Bourbons and hybrid perpetuals, his clumps or beds of well-grown dwarfs, large spreading-headed stan dards, and handsome pillar roses, nothing can be more vexatious or disheartening than having them all disfigured or destroyed ; while, as if taunting him for their unmerited neglect, the hardy moss, cabbage, French, Scotch, Ayrshire, and other old loves, seem, by their varied and exuberant summer grandeur to say—" Compare us now with the objects of your recent admiration, for which we were despised and forgotten." No florist would think of leaving a favourite dahlia throughout the winter in the ground, where it had been admired when adorned with summer and autumn bloom ; and yet many would peril the existence of a still more highly prized rose, rather than be troubled by expending for its safety less manage ment and care than is required to preserve the dahlia root safely through the dangers of 'winter. In the case of tree or standard, as well as dwarf border roses, nothing further is required than to take them up carefully in November. A top covering should be temporarily applied to exclude heavy rains, which might injure the small roots by over-saturating the soil. The mere act of lifting the plants tends, by lessening their internal sap, to fit them better for withstanding frost; and by placing them in a cool northerly exposure, their spring growth is much retarded, an object of con siderable Chiportance in the alternating frosty and warm weather at that season. Pot-culture is spe cially adapted for the growth and easy winter pre servation of the tender dwarf roses, such as teas, Chinas, &c. The pots should be plunged in a cool northerly exposure during that season, and pro tected as before described. In thus advocating the cultivation of autumnal roses, it is by no means in tended to detract from the peculiar and unsurpassed merits of the hardy summer flowering sorts, many of which stand far in advance of the autumnals for form, colour, and fragrance, to say nothing of the early flowering, mossy, and other peculiarities of some—qualities which should always secure for them a large share of space in the rosarium, as well as in the shrubbery, and even in woodlands, rocky banks, and waste grounds. THE " ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES" ON THE NEGRO RIOTS IN JAMAICA.—The late outbreak in Jamaica, and the stern measures adopted by the local Govern ment to suppress N% hat was generally regarded as a rebellion havingfor its object the extermination of all the whites on the Island, has been the principal theme of comment by the English Press during the last week. The action of Governor Eyre and his subordinates has been characterised by a portion of the Press as judicious and praiseworthy, while another party denounce his acts as those of a monster of tyranny, like the Duke of Alva, or Colonel Kirke, or Marshal Haynau. We propose to review, as briefly as the circumstances will per mit, the facts before us regarding the outbreak itself and the extraordinary measures taken to repress it, and then to form an opinion as to the moral responsibility of the authorities of Jamaica for the scenes of bloodshed and horror which have so disgraced that island, and so stirred the deepest feelings of the whole British people. We think it is not now a pertinent question whether the negroes of Jamaica had or had not reason able grounds of discontent. It is claimed, on the one hand, that they were the victims of severe and unjust taxation, and that they were ground down and oppressed by the dominant race. On the other hand, it is stated that they have been unable to make out even a shadow of a provocation, much less a justification or reason, for rebellion. It is probable that the mean between these two extremes will best describe their actual condition. That they had grievances cannot be denied ; that the remedy for those grievances was in their own hands is equally clear. But it is a question—and a very serious question—whether the late outbreak in Jamaica was simply an unpremeditated riot, or whether it was a deliberate attempt on the part of the black majority to destroy their white rulers and to gain possession of the Island. On this point rests the whole controversy. If Governor Eyre adopted those stern and retaliatory measures simply to repress an insignificant riot, he ought to be held rigidly accountable for excess of duty ; if he had good reason to believe that an organised rebel lion threatened the peace of the Island and the security of the white inhabitants, he did no more than his duty in adopting the ernest and most uncompromising measures to put down that rebellion at its very inception. We all know the peculiarities of the negro race. Under proper subjection and control they are sub missive and harmless. Amiable and affectionate in disposition, highly imaginative and religious, they are strongly susceptible to good influences ; they possess strong attachments, and can be educated into habits of industry and usefulness. But these very traits of character which, pro perly regulated and controlled, make the negro a good citizen, are elements of danger. His natu ral instincts are licentious and cruel. His passions once aroused, he becomes a fiend in human shape. With him, at such a time, no appeal to reason and to moderation would be effectual. It is no wonder, then, that upon the breaking out of the riot in Jamaica, a panic should have seized upon the white inhabitants, and that those in authority should have been tempted into measures which seem unne cessarily cruel and vindictive to those removed from the scene of disturbance. We cannot believe, however, that the execution of Mr. Gordon was justified by the circumstances. He was a man of property, a prosperous citizen, and a member of the Legislature. It is not claimed by Governor Eyre that he actually identified himself in person with the "rebels." He is simply accused of having been an instigator of rebellion, and of having made seditious speeches in and out of the Legislative Assembly. He was in Kingston when the riot broke out, and on leaping that he was suspected of complicity with the so-called rebel lion he instantly gave himself up to the autho li rities. He was taken from Kingston to the dis turbed district, there tried .by a drum-head court martial, and with shocking and shameless pre cipitancy dragged to the gallows. We much mistake the temper of the English people and the justice of the British Government, if this act of high-handed tyranny on the part of the Jamaica authorities is not speedily made the subject of a strict investigation. It is a new doctrine that a man should be put to death for the utterance of his opinions, however erroneous they may be. From all the evidence yet before us, we can see no reason for hanging Mr. G. W. Gordon, which would not apply equally to Mr. John Bright. Mr. Gordon, it appears, told the ne groes of Jamaica, who form the great bulk of the popu lation, that they were denied their just rights. Mr. John Bright speaks the same language to the working-men of England. Mr. G. W. Gordon claimed that it was infamous to inflict corporeal punishment for petty offences, and that the tread mill, as introduced and kept up in Jamaica, was a diabolical institution. Mr. John Bright has no occasion to declaim against corporeal punishment and treadmills in England, but he has always advo cated the elevation of the working-man in the social scale, and the levelling of the false distinctions of aristocracy. If G. W. Gordon was an agitator in Jamaica, John Bright is an agitator in England ; and, so far as yet appears from the evidence, the former deserved hanging as little as the latter. tiV e make these remarks simply on the evidence before us. It is possible that further details from Jamaica may lend_ consistency and colour to the accusations brought against the late Mr. Gordon, and furnish some excuse for the shocking and high handed procedure which consigned him to a felon's death ; but in the absence of all evidence, except the unsupported assertions of Governor Eyre, we cannot but feel that the execution of Mr. Gordon was an act which, if not immediately disowned, will cover the British Government and the Bri tish nation with ignominy and disgrace. We dis miss with a single remark the coarse fling of the Times and other journals at the Baptists of Jamaica. That they, as a body, had any thing to do with the late outbreak is simply absurd. It is quite possible that individual members of the Baptist persuasion may have been implicated in the riot, but there is no more reason for holding the Baptists, as a body, responsible for these dis turbances than for holding the Presbyterian Church of Scotland responsible for the death of the late Mrs. Pritchard because Doctor Pritchard happened to be a Presbyterian. The Wigan Murder. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER. Yesterday, at the Moot-hall, Wigan, the prisoner Thomas Walton, in custody charged on his own confession with being concerned in the Button-pit murder at Haigh, near Wigan, in January, 1863, was brought up for examination. His appearance was far from prepossessing, his sunken eyes and overhanging forehead giving him the look of a per son of very low mental capacity, but the numerous remarks which he made from the dock proved that he was by no means destitute of education. The first witness called was Alex. Shepherd, keeper of a beerhouse at the Top Lock, Aspull. He said that on Nov. 13 the prisoner came to him and stated that he had taken part in the murder of Bar ton at the Button-pit, Haigh, in 1863, and a police man entering the house shortly afterwards the pri soner was given into custody. Elias Worthington, police officer, stationed at Aspull, said—On the 13th of the present month I went to the beerhouse kept by Alexander Shepherd, and called Thomas Walton out of the kitchen into the bar parlour. I asked him what he had been saying about Barton's murder, and he said, " John Healey knows nothing about it, and I can prove it at his trial. Who shot the dog of Barry on the 18th Dec., 1860 ?" I said, "I do not know." He said, " I do. Who committed the robbery and assault at the Standish Paper-mills in 1862?" I said, " I know nothing about it." He said. " I do. The watchman was sleeping in one corner of the room. I opened the door and found no money. The watchman wakened up, and I struck him with the stave of a barrel. The night Barton was murdered a party of us was drinking at a beerhouse called Dychers, in Wigan-lane. We were drinking there up to shutting-up time, and we brought some beer away with us and sat down in a lane to drink it. While we were there a man came in the direction of Chorley, and I asked him where he was going. He said he did not know—anywhere. We asked him to drink, and he sat down drinking for some time. We afterwards went to the Bawk house-pit, where we found Barton with two 'lumps of coal in his hands. Barton said to one of the party (name mentioned), ' You will not see me put on,' and he replied, I will, for you have been telling tales.' Barton said, 'I have not.' He was knocked down and then thrown down the slack-hole, and I opened the door of the furnace while the others put him in. Barton was not murdered for the sake of his watch and money, but more for the sake of revenge, and because we suspected him of telling tales to the keepers and to an assistant-keeper named Draper." I (witness) asked him who the men were who were there, and he said, " I dare not tell you ; if I do I shall be shot. I saw one of the men two years ago in Runcorn, in Cheshire. He said to me, ' What news ?' and I told him, and he said, If you tell anything you will be shot." Prisoner mentioned the name of the man who, he said, struck Barton down with a lump of iron, and then continued, " When we came away we brought the watch with us, and one of the men remarked that now we had done for Barton we must make away with his watch. The watch was ' chucked' into the canal near Pen dlebury-bridge." Subsequently the prisoner said that the woman who stated she saw four men on the night of the murder was wrong. There were only three of them together. Police-sergeant Gardiner stated that when he re ceived the prisoner into custody he said that the man in Kirkdale charged with the crime was innocent. If he was there, he was invisible. If he had been there, he (prisoner) must have seen him. Witness told him he should have to lock him up on the charge, when he said " You are taking me my last journey. I shall have to be hung for this." It appeared that the prisoner was not quite sober when he made the bulk of the statements, and he now informed the court that he did not know whe ther he had said the words or not. If he had said them, they were lies. It was, however, stated that next morning when quite sober be refused to deny the truth of his story. Since the apprehen sion of the prisoner the police have been hard at work collecting evidence which will either corrobo rate or refute the confession, principally with re gard to the persons Walton has implicated, whose names for obvious reasons have net been made public. Superintendent Ellison stated that he was in hopes they might learn something more in a few days, and he asked for a remand for a week. This was granted, and the prisoner has been removed to Kirkdale. We may state that the story is received in Wigan with far more credence than was attached to the confession of Healey, who now lies in Kirkdale awaiting the assizes. Latest American Markets.

In railroad stocks the principal ex citement of the week had been in Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien, which had advanced from 74 to 230, but the last quotation was somewhat lower than this ; the enormous rise could not be attributed to the increased business of the road, but as a speculative movement in the stock; other roads sympathise slightly in the advance, but the improve ment was not greater than about $1 to $2 on the• general list. In railroad bonds and State stocks the transactions were inconsiderable, the only change worthy of note being a further improvement of about 2 per cent. in Virginia Sixes. Money was in good supply to stock houses at 7 par cent., and gold was steady at former rates, the large demand for Customs duties neutralising the payment of the interest on the 5.20 Bonds.

Illinois and Erie shares were both neglected until the arrival of the City of Boston, when a demand sprung up for Eries, on which they improved about $l, closing 55 to 1. Illinois advanced slightly in sympathy, and are last quoted 82 to I, or $1 higher than last week. At the close there is certainly a greater disposition shown by some investors to take American securities, on the ex pectation that all matters of dispute between the English and United States Governments will be amicably arranged.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homoeopathic practitioners, 90 1 the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of homoeopathy was first introduce" into this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or acceptat le to the stomach ; the nut w's either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully miditl" lectured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London. homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subje_t, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perf, et trituration it re2eives in the process it passe 4 through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach' For general use Epps' cocoa is distin:tuished as an WOO rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delirious aroma Dr. Hassan in his work, "Food and its Adulterations ,' says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritiv e principles ; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again, "As a nutritive, 000 0 stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Dire& tions : —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cUP. filled up with boiling water or milk.
