A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New market on Wednesday last. Present—Admiral Rous and Lord Coventry (stewards), Mr. Alexander, Lord Anglesey, Lord Annesley, Mr.Barne, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Courte nay, Mr. G. W. Fitzwilliam, Lord Glasgow, Mr. Greville' Sir J. Hawley, Mr. Lowther, Mr. Payne, Lord W. Pow lett, Mr. Saville, Lord Stamford, Lord Stradbroko, Lord Strathmore, Col. Towneley, Lord Uxbridge, Lord West moreland, and Lord Winchilsea. Mr. W. G. Craven was elected a member of the club. Sir J. HAWLEY having brought forward the motion of which the notice appeared in the last Calendar, it was re solved,— " 1. That the alteration of the day of the July Meeting, having been proposed and adopted without notice, was in direct contravention of the rule of the Club No. 40. "2. That in order not to incur the risk of invalidating the entries for the July and Chesterfield Stakes, 1862, which have been advertised for Monday and Wednesday, the alteration of the days of the races for that year be con firmed." The meeting then divided upon the question whether the July Meeting should, after 1862, commence on Tuesday, as heretofore ; and it was decided by a large majority that the July Meeting should be held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The proposal to move the winning-posts of the Round Course, the Bunbury Nile, and the Chesterfield Stakes Course was negatived by a large majority, after which the meeting adjourned. A general meeting of the Club will be held on Wednesday in the Houghton Meeting. Some notices of motion have been given, which will be duly published next week. SOLDIERS AND STUDENTS AT ST. .P.ETE.RSBCTIZG. An occasional correspondent of the Times at St. Petersburg, writing on the 10th of October, gives a very lively and interesting account of further scenes between the students and the generals during the late university troubles :- - The scene in the court-yard of the University (on the 9th) was of the most astonishing kind, and was well calculated to confuse one's notions of geo graphy. In the capital of the Russian empire, directly opposite the Winter Palace (which stands on the other side of the river), a meeting was held, at which speeches were made, resolutions car ried, and deputies appointed. A little pile of firewood served as a tribune, from which sew ral orators justified, in very energetic terms, the atti tude taken by the students, and encouraged them not to desist from their efforts to rescue MM. Mi chaelis, Guine, and Pokrovski from the hands of the police. Unmindful of the fate of those three, five other students accepted the dangerous office of deputies, and left the court-yard to proceed to the residence of General Ignatief, with the view of re questing—first, that the previous deputation should be set at liberty ; second, that no more arrests sh*uld be made by secret agents. In the meantime General Patkul, the over-police master, was on the quay, riding up and down, and evidently determined, even at the cost of his life, to quell an insurrection which did not exist. A fresh horse is led up to the General ; he dismounts in hot haste, and in an instant is in the other saddle. This is undoubtedly an over-police -master of some energy. Several arrests are made in the crowd, chiefly of officers and men of the Military School. One gen tleman in a semi-military uniform, finding the hand of the police almost upon hi:it, makes a bolt. After him rushes Patkul himself, spurring his horse in such a manner that every one thinks charger No. 3 will have to be brought out soon. The fugitive was caught at the corner of the next street. The General captured him with his own hand. The police and the mounted gendarmes had now received orders to let any of the students who wished to come out of the court-yard, but to allow no one to go in. Nevertheless a lady, attired in a paletot, or pardessus, or cloak of some kind, with a blue collar, imitated from that of the students, pre sented herself at the gate, and requested permission to pass. " Gracious Mavens !" exclaimed General Patkul, on seeing this strange apparition. " What is the meaning of this, Madam ?" he continued riding up to the lady ? " What is this costume ? What do you want ? Who are you ?" " I am a student," said the lady calmly ; " I want to go into the court-yard, to join the meeting." " And are you not ashamed, Madam," cried the General, " to think of going into the midst of a crowd of young men?" " No," replied the etudiante, " they know me. I have nothing to fear from them." I wish to speak to them, to tranquillise them." " Go home, Madam, go home !" said Patkul, ter minating the conversation, and motioning to the gendarme to keep the gate closed. This occurred just before the deputation of five came out. In the court-yard of the cadet corps another scene was taking place. Gen. linstrom,commander of the second division of the Guard, was haranguing the Finland regiment (forming part of the said division), and preparing the soldiers for noble deeds. " My children," he sang out (the traditional rabiata of Souvaroff), "you will have to-day to bring some disorderly young men to reason. These students who are so unruly now, will, when they are a little older, become functionaries, and you know how the functionaries rob you and everyone they come in contact with. We must chastise them, and, per haps, when they rise to be clerks they will not plunder you so much." This high-minded and truthful discourse was not received with cheers. manoeuvres. At its conclusion, as the number of persons on the quay had greatly increased, the regiment was marched out and drawn up eight deep facing the crowd. Carriages were not allowed to pass either way, and thus a fair field was left to Gen. Bustrom for his toG five e n. deputies l g n ater lefthouse u s h the court yard,and, going up to Gen era l P at k u l , as k e d if the B y oo c n oula proceed afterwards the with out beingf D ear epu o t f iesl wh ar a r t a est r e e d a deputies ?" cried the over police -master when the emissaries had described theraselyes. " I cannot recognise you in any such At this Moment a young man was arrested by the police. An attempt was made to rescue him, and then the word was given to the regiment of Fin land to advance. The first line rushed forward some paces with their muskets lowered, but the students who were all in front of the crowd, remained per fectly firm, and several of them even walked towards the soldiers. It appeared now impossible to avpid a collision. A shudder and murmur passed through the crow d, and people began to make the sign cf the cross, when suddenly Gen. Bustrom himself in terposed and stopped the execution of the orders. The spectators gave a cheer for the students, and were immediately afterwards sent about their busi: ness by the police and mounted gendarmes. Scarcely any one now remained on the ground except the students, and it was at last arranged that General Ignatieff should be informed, through Gen. Patkul, of the intention of the deputation to wait upon him, and of the request it had to convey with reference to the liberation of Michaelis, Guine, and Pokrov ski, and to the mode of effecting arrests in future. I may mention at once that a satisfactory answer was only given on the latter point. The three de puties, so treacherously mude prisoners, are still in the fortress. After Gen. Ignatieff's reply had been received, Count Putiatin made his appearance at the Univer sity, and was in his turn begged to use his influence to get the three deputies released. He Aeclined to do so, His first interviews with the students have certainly not been calculated to leave a very charm ing impression upon them. While the students were passing resolutions, while Gen. Bustrom was haranguing his troops, while Gen. Patkul was mounting and dismounting his war horse, an improvised military council was held at the Winter Palace, in which Gen. Baranoff, chief of the staff of the guard; Gen. Plaoutin, com mander-in-chief of the guard; and the Grand Duke Nicolas Nocolaiewitch, commanding the infantry of the guard, took part. The Grand Duke Michael, who is president of a select committee, which, in case of need, would perform the functions of a Council of Regency, is said to have written to his brother a letter on the aspect of affairs in the streets of St. Petersburg, which caused the latter some unnecessary alarm. " This is not merely a students' disturbance," he exclaimed, "itis a revolt. There were all sorts of persons in the procession of Monday, and especially officers. I will take the Chevalier Guards out and settle the affair. Give me one, two, ten regiments, if necessary." General Plaoutin and General Baranoff were both opposed to this project, and I believe have thought with General Philipson, from the beginning, that there was no necessity to resort to armed force at all. On reflection the Grand Duke seems also to have arrived at this opinion. "What does Patkul then mean by galloping about and having fresh horses brought to him, as if he were on a campaign ?" he inquired. Many persons had already asked themselves that question. At last it was decided that Count Putiatin ought to go and speak to the students himself. On this recommendation, duly conveyed to him, he went, and it is already known how much good he did. It is said that the students of the Military Aca demy and of various special schools have resolved to testify their sympathy for those of the University in some formal manner. Many of the classes vt ere deserted yesterday when the news was received of what was taking place on the quay, and in some instances the professors accompanied their pupils to the great scene of interest. A story is told of a lecturer at the Medico-Chirurgical School, who, either from a very original sense of duty or from sheer absence of mind, continued and concluded his discourse on some not very celebrated bone long after the students had left the room. The Emperor was expected to return to St. Peters burg on the 14th (26th) of October, but it is hoped now that he will arrive some days earlier. He is at present, however, in the Caucasus, near Tiflis, and with the greatest speed could scarcely make the journey in less than ten days. Tlll AST-DAY . IN THE STATE& (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) RACINE, WISCONSIN, SEPT. 26. The Confederate States had their day of prayer and fasting and humiliation more than three months ego, and on Thursday, the 13th of June, the bishop and pastors of all the various congregations in the South were praying for success in the com ing contest with their bitter enemies and oppres sors, and using very much the same language before the throne of Heaven as the preachers of the North indulged in to-day. The religious union of the States is ruptured rather on the question of slavery than on the States' rights, and even the Roman Catholic Church exhibits a schism on that point in its smooth and varnished surface, and shows the Bishop of New York and the Bishop of New Orleans engaged in open controversy. I cannot answer for the mode in which the day was observed in other parts of the Union, but I know that in Chicago, through which I was passing at the date prefixed to this portion of my letter, the injunctions to close the shops were not altogether attended to, although the churches were tolerably well attended, and the observance marked with decorum. The small edifice which serves as the Protestant Episcopal Church was nearly filled by a respectable congregation, of whom the majority were as usual women ; and the Bishop of Illinois, in a subtle and rather dramatic course, seemed to indicate to his hearers, that the rebellion was a sin against Heaven, the consequences of which were only to be averted by the individual repentance of the nation as Christians. Nor did he spare those sins of the United States, and at one allusion to those who sought to make fortunes out of their [country's misery by exorbitant profits and charges on contracts many a glance was exchanged among his auditors. The adaptation of our Liturgy to republican institutions and persons offers some difficulties, and it excites a curious train of thought to hear the prayer for the Queen used in behalf of a President who goes out of office at the end of four years, but who is followed by the entreaties of the Episcopal Church for his eternal welfare to the end of his life. The occasion was improved by a de mand for an eleemosynary contribution for the Home Guard—that is, for the bishop's clergy cud missionaries. But men's thought and words were far more occupied by , General Fremont and the Pre sident than by the fast day, if one may judge from the conversation of all men. On the whole, the majority of the people here, so far as I can judge, support the General and condemn the President's letter, and even the President himself sometimes, in unsparing language. " Strange," they say, " that he could think it expedient to exhibit such solici tude about the rights of the slaveholders, when he had not a word to say in reference to a much more serious matter—viz., the threats of General Fre mont towards such white people as he may find in rebellion." The German, or, as it is oddly styled by the Americans hereabout, the Dutch population, is with Fremont to a man, and they are a most powerful and important element in the fighting and voting powers of the State of Illinois. To them this is indeed a rebellion, and they carry out tho doc trine of the Government at Washington (on which, however, it does not presume to act) that the Con federates are rebels, and should be treated accord ingly, while the Government only ventures to con sider Mr. Davis and his friends as rebels, and will not yield on that point even for the sake of the Federal prisoners in his hands, while they gratify their pique by refusing styles and titles and their military or civil ranks to the chiefs and officers of the Government at Richmond. The democrats, of course, arc irritated and indignant, and declare Fre mont ought to be removed immediately. Continual accusations are made against him in the newspapers, which are only of consequence as indicative of the designs of those they serve, which are to drive him out of the service. He is accused of waste and extra vagance in his contracts, of personal inaccessibility and hauteur, of dilatoriness and neglect of duty, which has led to the loss of Lexington, and of many other offences. He replies that he has no money, and is therefore obliged to procure necessaries for the public service on credit, and in competition with the Governors of various State., ~,,...,quently at higher rates ; that he is constantly thwarted and impeded by demands for troops ; that he sees his regimeuta taken away from him by orders from Washington and sent all over the country, just as he hai got them into order, and that his subor dinates have failed to obey his instructions. As to inaccessibility, Lord help the man who refuses to see everybody who thinks he would like to see him out in this part of the world Is not a general a public servant, the property of citizen A, who wants to see if the general's hair is gray, or only grizzled ? Is he not the property of citizen B, who wants to get a contract for gun boats made of indiarubber, or of D, who has a letter to him, and wants a situation on the gene ral's staff either as aide-de-camp or coachman ? Pro hac vice, each citizen represents the whole republic, and is very angy if he cannot monopo lise all the time of his servant. Perhaps Gen. Fremont finds he cannot do his work and attend to all comers on these terms. Never shall I for get what I saw Mr. Chase go through one fine day in his bureau soon after my arrival at Wash ington. The places in his gift were in the course of distribution, and on calling on him I found the passages of the Treasury leading to his apart ments blocked up by an eager crowd of all sorts and conditions of men, who were continually send ing in cards or slips of paper by the messengers at the doors. I was admitted, as Mr. Chase had been good enough to invite me to call upon kim, and, accordingly, when the doors were thrown open I had an opportunity of witnessing the eager rush, the solicitations, the pressuie, and obstinacy of the army of applicants who besieked the good-humoured but resolute, sagacious, .and unbending Minister. To shake hands warmly with every man of them, from the banker who had come to offer millions to the rough dweller on distant seashores who aspired to the care of a lighthouse, to be civil and sympathising with every man, to listen with both ears; to remember all faces and all names and all handwritings, and all recommendees—these are no easy matters, but I am bound to say Mr. Chase did them courteously and well, although he was assisted to some extent by an apt secretary who headed off the hungriest and most tenacious of the pack, and carried them off one by one into some back room, as a spider hurries off a fly to the inner darkness. This, however, is part of the duty of a public man in America, and any departure from it is certain to be resented and to make one unpopular. Gen. Fremont is taking a sure way to stop all cavilling; he is marching on the enemy, and if he is victorious all will be for• given and forgotten, and he will become a danger ous rival to Gen. M'Clellan for future honours and power in the State. He has published a letter which will give English readers some idea of the things to which a public man is exposed in America, and of the consequences of the rash, reckless, and often times malicious statements which are sent forth to the world by the newspapers, without a care or a thought of the damage they do, or of their authen ticity or truth. "We pray very hard in Illinois to-day, sir," said a gentleman to me, " because it's very awkward to have these Confederates coming up on our flank here ; they are now in a line with Quincy and Hannibal, and if Fremont does not stop them we have only our prayers to trust to." Another gentle man, one of the Judges, remarked, with. some truth, "I fear we never would have had this day of prayer and humiliation at all, only for the battle of Bull's Run." It is obvious that, instead of going down the Mississippi just now, General Fremont is going up the Missouri, and it remains to be seen whether he will succeed in driving the Confederates out of the north-west of Missouri. Before he left St. Louis yesterday (27th) he authorised another innovation on the policy of the Government by ex ichanging a Confederate prisoner in his hands for a Federal colonel. Jefferson city, the capital of Mis souri, 125 miles west of St. Louis, will be the new base of his operation. Lexington is 100 miles as the crow flies to the north-west of Jefferson, but it is considerably farther by the river, which is about ! half a mile wide, and flows rapidly. The rail ,road will enable Fremont to collect his troops speedily, but his forces are inferior in numbers to the Confederates, who are said to have concen ltrated the corps of Price, Rains, and APCuI/ough 'to oppose him, and if he is beaten, his position and that of Missouri, as far as its Federal relations are concerned, appear hopeless. At the other side of the 'Missouri river there is a railroad, only 40 miles away, which leads to Hannibal and Quincy, and thence across the river to the Illinois railways ; and, looking at the map merely, it seems feasible for 'the Confederates, as they are in light marching 'order and have little or no baggage, to make a dash at it, even after defeat, which would effect a most , powerful diversion. Their forges are estimated at 25,000 men. Fremont has under him less than 120,000, and he cannot take all of these from St. Louis; indeed, there is already an outcry from the 'Western States that their troops are taken away for the purposes of the Eastern and Northern States, and that they are left without adequate defence; and there seems to be a disposition to localise the contingents of each State, possibly because people are becoming ignorantly impatient of the inactivity of the large armies gathered around Washington. Few of the States, except the smaller and more populous of the New England group, have turned out such a proportion of men as might be expected from the number of voters, and one journalist here brays forth a terrible blast on his organ, and calls on the residue to drill diligently. For what think you ? In order that they may be able to fight their fellow-countrymen at the end of the war in case the successful and pampered legions should wish to serve the purpose of their military leaders, and take more power than they have a right to claim! It will be observed that lowa is to raise its con tin gent without recourse to draughting, as Secretary Cameron wishes to rely on the loyalty of the people ; but I hear that there is a considerable peace party in the State likely to carry their doctrines into prac tical effect. It was my intention to have visited St. Louis before my return to Washington, and to have witnessed some of the operations down the Mississippi had the expedition been ready to start, but the intel ligence from the capital indicates the possibility of ac tive operations and I return thither on Monday (30th) there being no train to-morrow. It would be use less to follow General Fremont to the Far West, as no one can tell where he will move to, and it would take at least 3! ; days to send a letter from Jefferson to New York, and still more to Boston, for the steamers, while the telegraph would convey the practical results of his movements with some trust worthiness up to a few hours of their departure. Those operations are most important, but the theatre at e fo l r ir e a t s h h e i ncgutrotna curtain s s larger,raiseaand once i more thereforefor t he return ter b- rible drama a battle. If the hostile armie s could only move up here, all their infantry, cavalry, and artillery might manoeuvre splendidly on these mag nificent prairies—regular fighting grounds and war carpets, and all that they would need would b e generals capable of handling such masses of men. It is scarcely necessary to observe that there is not anything like the numbers on either side which the New York journals state, and that the totals fall far short of the very round numbers of the romantic Alnaschars. I have two anecdotes of two peers, who might be said to come under the description of half-witted. In their case, the same sort of dry Scottish humour came out under the cloak of mental disease. A Scottish nobleman of the last century had been a soldier the greater part of his life, but was obliged to come home on account of aberration of mind, superinduced by hereditary propensity. Desirous of putting him under due restraint, and, at the same time, of amt ?verseer; engaging his mind in his favourite pursuit, his friend cured a Sergeant Briggs to be his and to render the ~eptaule as a companion, they _ Juni to the old earl as Colonel Briggs. Being asked how he liked the colonel, the earl answered, " Very well ; he is a sensible man, and a good soldier, but . 12e smells damnably of the Itabert,"—Beininiscoccs of ~)'cotodi.4l.o .41 . 0 and Character.

The Chesapeake is to be placed in the steam reserve ordinary at Chatham ; but in consequence of the injuries she re ceived to her keel by running on a sunken rock in the Red Sea, she will require very extensive repairs. The screw steamship Conqueror, 99, Capt. E. S. Sotheby, C. 8., one of the Channel fleet, was placed yesterday afternoon in the Queen's dock at Beyham - steamyard - for the purpose of overhauling her valves and aperture to discover the cause of the leakage aft. • The sere* steam corvette Orestes, 21, Capt. A: H. Gardner, in Plymouth Sound, had steam up and cat and fish teakles 'overhauled yesterday afternoon, preparatory to sailing for the Cape of Good Hope. The Eclipse, 4, screw steam Bloop, 700 tons, left her moorings in Sheerness harbour, and proceeded to the measured mile off Maplin Sand, for the trial of her engines previously to their being passed over to the Government authorities by the contractors. The vessel is fitted with horizontal air-pump trunk engines, 200-horse nominal power.

Napier and Son, of Glasgow, had charge of the engines, and repre sented his employers. The trial was very satisfac tory, but would have been much more so lad it not been for the foulness of the bottom of the ship. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :--Lieut. C. Mitchell to the Excellent ; Mr. H. Izod and Mr. W. E. Miller, sub lieuts., to the Conqueror; John T.

A further discharge of troops teok place at Chat ham garrison yesterday, when 70 non-commissioned officers and men of several cavalry and infantry corps, who had been forwarded from the various military stations, were discharged from the invalid establishment, on account of their unfitness for fur ther service, and forwarded to their respective homes, the whole of them having been previously spected by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital. A general order from the Horse Guards, signed by Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, Adjutant-General, and dated the 10th inst., has been received at Chatham, in which are laid down a code of rules to be observed by general and commanding officers in granting leave of absence. Leave of absence granted under this order to officers might commence on the 15th inst., or as soon after as the half-yearly inspections should have been made. Furloughs to non-com missioned officers and soldiers may commence from the Ist of Nov. All leaves of absence are to termi nate on the 14th of March, 1562, when, in confor mity with the Queen's Regulations, all officers and soldiers are to be present with their respective regi ments or depots. One field officer, one half of the captains, and one half of the subaltern officers are always to be present. No officer, except in the per formance of duty, or for the purpose of joining his regiment, is to quit the United Kingdom without having first obtained her Majesty's special permis sion. Officers employed upon the recruiting service or upon the staff of the army are not to be included in the number fixed for the constant duty of the regiment or depot. In cases of short leave of absence being required by adjutants, ridingmasters, quar termasters, or veterinary surgeons of regiments, it will be necessary that a special report be made as the mode in which their duties are to be performed during their absence, and stating that the command ing officer is satisfied. The proportion of non-com missioned officers, trumpeters, drummers, and pri vate men to whom furloughs may be granted is not to exceed 20 per battery of horse and field Artillery, or 10 per troop, battery of garrison Artillery, or com pany. Commanding officers of regiments returning from India may exercise a liberal discretion in grant ing furloughs to soldiers who come home with their corps. The Duke of Cambridge expects that the general and other officers empowered to grant leave of absence will strictly confine that grant to the proportion of officers specified.
