FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the Etoile, dated Thursday, Sept. 8.) TANG] ER, JUNE 15.—The French Consul in lilorocco left. this"city on the 9th of May, to pro ceed to Fez, where he arrived on the 19th. — After the usual repose of three days, the Emperor sent in the morning one of his most distinguished Officers to acquaint the Consul that he would re ceive him the same day, at ten o'clock. Accord— iogly, at nine o'clock, a detachment of troops, consisting of the Imperial Guard and the garrison of Tangier, came for him. He set out with his consort, preceded by the presents intended for the Emperor, and accompanied by two French -Officers, who had accompanied him from Tangier to Fez, by the Vice-Consul, the Physician, and the Interpreter of the Consulate. When they got near the place which his Majesty had fixed for the audience, they heard thn orders of the Emperor given to repair to his presence. After a halt of half an hour f an Officer conducted him to within 200 paces of his Majesty's palace of pleasure. ile was on horseback, surrounded by his troops on foot. When the Consul was near the Emperor, he ordered the troops to open their ranks. They then formed two lines, between which the Consul advanced to 50 paces distance,and made his first salutation with his head uncovered. Those who accompanied him did the same, except the wo French officers, who only raised their hands to their caps, according to the French military custom. The Pacha of Tangier, seeing that the two French officers did not take off their caps, stepped out of the ranks, where he was mingled with the common soldiers, and spoke about it to the Consul, who satisfied him by telling him that the French soldiers never salute their officers, or even his Majesty, except by respectfully raising their hands to their caps. Upon this answer, which his Majesty heard, he retired ; but the Emperor called him and said, ' Tell the Envoy of the King of France, that he and the French nation are the first in my friendship, and the most esteemed by our Majesty.' The Pacha re peated these words to the interpreter, who told them to the Consul. The French Consul delivered to the Pacha his , Majesty's letter, in a bag, made of rich •brocade, and a little box, covered with brocade of. the same patfern, which contains a diadem of dia monds, and caused the other customary presents, which accompanied it, to ,be shown to his Ma jesty. The Emperor having received these pre sents, retired. On the 25th of May, the Emperor sent to the French Consul, for his Majesty Charles X., a lion, an ostrich,.and four horses. The fetes of Ramadan, which - had begun the day before the Consul arrived, not being ended, delayed his departure, and he returned to Tan gier, after a rapid journey of five days. PARIS, SCPTEMBEIt 7. A Journal endea vours ; to-day to excite uneasiness in the planters respecting the communications which the new state of Saint Domingo might have with our islands. We are authorized to de clare that the foresight of the Government has taken away every pretext for the uneasiness ;the ships ofilayti will not be received in our colonies, and will not even show themselves there.

I N D I A. - EXTRACT ()EA LETTER DATED SINGAPORE, APRIL 9. " Having an opportunity for Europe by a French brig ,bound to BordeauA, I cannot let it esc..pe without communi cating to you the important news which has just reached us, being no less than a report of the complete subjugation of the Birnian Empire by the British forces, and the capture of its golden-footed monarch and his capital, Ummerapoora. The report is brought by the British ship Caroline, Captain .John son, in 17 days from Bangkok, the - -capital and chief sea-port of the kingdom of Siam, in dispatches from the Siamese Go ; .yernment to the Resident of this settlement, which he was particularly anxious to forward Bengal immediately on re ceipt, but at present there is no opportunity. I have had all the particulars which were known there from Captain Johm son's.own mouth, whose veracity is undoubted. He states the repett to have reached Bangkok only the day before he sailed, . iriz. on the 20th or 21st of March, and the Portuguese Consul, who resides there, and is much in the confidence of the people connected with the Court, assured him that it might be relied OP as a fact. The British army or the advanced guard of it, were said to be only three day s' journey, or not above 100 miles, distant from Bangkok at the time this ship left, and news was arriving from it almost every other day. There was some .story about a massacre having taken place in one of the most contiderable of the Birman towns, which had submitted to our &Ms. It is said that the Commander of the forces having re . ceived the submission of „the inhabitants and the Government authorities, appointed such of them as were deemed trust- • worthy to certain offices in the state, and left what was deemed a sufficient detachment . in the place for keeping all quiet. However, the main body of the army, it is said, were scarcely out of sight on its advance, ere the treacherous Birrnans rose upon the soldiers, and, it is said, put them all hors de combat. The news of this catastrophe reaching the Commander, he re turned instantly with the main body, and put every soul of that town's people to the sword : which sig r d vengeance in . fused such a panic into the rest of the nation,, titat wherever he • proceeded after that, he met with nothing but submission ; and at-the time the report came away, the whole empire was •• sifted to haVe submitted to our authority, and to be in the oc oupation of our troops. If the report be true, the official iitewuup of it must have reached Calcutta ere this, and we may .now dailybe looking for it from thence." ' A Vienna Paper states, that it is the intention of Prince M ETTERNICII to dispose of his fine estate at Johannisberg, by way of Lottery, next De cember. This estate was presented to the Prince by the Congress of Vienna. DUTCH PAPERS (to the 7th September.) BRUSSELS, SEPT. 3. 7 --We learn that the camp is to be formed near Bergen oil the 18th Sept. It will consist ofthe,Sd, 4th, and 12th divisions, and be commanded by. Lieut.-Getieral and Major-Generals Godike.and Meyor, the last of whom has lately been appointed to the com mand of the province of Natnur. HAARLEM, SEPT. .s.—M r. Seheerboorn per formed on Saturday last the experiments which he had announced with Intire success in the pre sence of a great number of spectators ; though the calm state of the sea made it difficult to de termine how far the strength of a, horse may' be sufficient to advance with the sea:phander in the midst of stortn'imd breakers to a stranded ship in order to carry to the crew the necessary ropes. The• spectators appeared 'generally convinced that the invention might, in many cases, be of great utility, and that it deserved the attention and encouragement of the Government. lIAGuE, SEPT. 4.—lt was to be foreseen that his Majesty's resolution of the 14th August, re specting young men who, after the Ist October next, had passed. their academical and theolo gical studies out of the kingdom, would be rip..., lently attacked by the Ultra Royalistjournals in France, as soon as it was known in that king dom. This has accordingly been the case ; and even tLe Etoile has not been the last in this re. spect : but, on the other hand, the measure is zealously defended by the more impartial French Journals ; thus the Journal du Commerce highly extols the Prince who opposes this bar rier to Jesuitism, in the same manner as the in troduction of contraband goods and of contagious diseases is opposed by the means of custom house officers.and cordons of troops. The Jour nal des Debats, too, praises the wholesome effect of the ,measure in a long article. In the Journal de Bruxelles of Friday last there is a series of edicts issued by former Sove- . reigns of these countries, relative to the-educa tion of youth, and which incontestibly prove that from remote times there have been regulations on this subject which entirely coincide with the recent ordinance. An edict of 1683 ,prohibits the young men from studying philoso phy anywhere except at Louvain. A remarkable edict, of 27th August, 1695, says, that as many young men go to study in Foreign Universities for various reasons, but , prinCipally to shorten the period of study, it is ordered by the King (WiPiam III.) that no person shall be admitted to any office,, ecclesiastical or civil, for which the degree of Licentiate is required, unless he has, bona fide, studied four years in a University in the King's dominions. Another ordinance of 22d Dec. 1755, runs thus : Article 1. W e forbid any person, of what ever age, rank, or profession, from attending, without permission,a course of philosophy, public or private, anywhere, except at Louvain or other universities subject to our authority, and this on pain of a fine of 2000 florins, and of being declared disqualified for any deputy office or benefice, ecclesiastical or civil, and also from exercising the profession of a physician. Art. 3. makes parPnts, guardian , ' ice- " 3 Yr - able for minors. - It is therefore from a mere spirit of opposition to the Government, or unpardonable ignorance of our ancient legislation, that some persons have attacked ordinances of the present Government, the sole object of which is to revive', with re spect to the education of youth, the ancient ordi nances of the most enlightened Sovereigns of the Netherlands. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 6.—Eschange on London, 39 10 to 11. Two months, 39 7 to O. THE FOUR. CAN.A.MAN CHIEFS. These interesting men emharkrd for their na tive country, on board the Caledonia, the early part of August. The writer of this article feels it to be due to their characters, and at the same time gratifying to his own feelings, to express the high sentiments of respect for this country with which' they left it. The Grand Chief, in taking leave of the writer, said, that himself and the three other Chiefs .left Great Britain deeply impressed with its greatness, its liberality, and its mag nificence; that the attention which had been shown to them could never he forgotten ; and especially the condescension of his Majesty in honouring them with a most gracious interview, and in presenting a large gold medal to each, as well as por trait of himself : these would remain a lasting memorial, and he handed down, from generation to generation in their respec tive families. The Grand Chief added, that he had served this country under his late Majesty George 111., which he never expected to see ; hitt his visit to England had created an at tachment, and produced a feeling towards it which he had not language to express ; but :rammed it all up by saying, he was now ready whenever called upon to serve his Majesty George IV., his Great Father, anti this he would do with the affection and devotedness of a son ; and though they did not return to their country having obtained the object of their visit, yet they felt confident that a Government of uprightness would take their claims into consideration, and meet their wishes. The Grand Chief then requested that the writer would ex press to their friends at large, the lively sense they had of the personal attention which had been shown to them, and hoped this public ackowledgrnent and grateful remembrance of every favour, would be accepted by them. He regretted it was not in their power to pay their respects, in the way_of farewell, to each of their friends, but sincerely wished a long continuance of health and every comfcrt,, which a nation so prosperous; and a Government so excellent, could ensure. It is but justice to add, that the conduct of the four Chiefs, during their abode in England, was most exemplary ; indeed it was with truth observed, by a gentleman ifom Quebec, that " their conduct was a reproach to the more enlightened Whites." As real character is more developed in private than in public life, it may not be improper to copy a paragraph from a letter, received after their departure, froin the respected indivi dual at whose house they resided while in England. In speak . ing of their conduct Mrs. S. remarks, " That she esteemed them highly for their .amiable dispositions; their correct principles, and the great politeness they manifested towards herself and family. Their kindness and attention to each other were worthy the example of those who have enjoyed much higher privileges." • . P.S. A Paragraph having appeared in one of the public Pa. pers injurious to the character of these Chiefs, and representing them as Impostors, it may not be improper to add, that they brought over from Quebec regularly accredited Testimonials; , that a Member of the Legislation of bower Canada, now in London, is well acquainted with them personally, and was a Member of the Committee of. the House of Assembly, which was appointed to investigate their Claims ; anti, finally, that their Case is well known at the Colonial Department. Paternoster Row, 1825. • ' There are in China 1,560 temples dedicated to Confucius. At the spring and autumn sacrifices offered to him, it is calculated that there are im molated twenty-seven thousand pigs, five thou sand eight hundred sheep;' two thousand eight hundred deer, and twenty-seven thousand rab bits ; and there are offered at the same time twenty-seven thousand pieces of silk. MUSICAL. MEETINGS. YORKSHIRE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. • YORK, SEPT..B.- . --A stranger entering this city at present, and not aware that preparations were in progress for a " Grand Musical Festival," or any other novelty which we' expected to attract crowds of fashionables, would at once set it down as the cleanest, neatest, and gityest place imaginable;— It is generally known that the houses are, if modern, mostly built of brick, and the more ancient ones of wooden frame work, plastered over the out as well as the inside. The case ments,, doors, &c. of both sorts have been all painted (exter nally at least), apparently within the last fortnight, in the highest hues, and also such parts of the front walls .as.; from the circumstances already._ mentioned, presented a smooth surface for the brush. The Upholeterers have likewise .been put in requisition, and the windows every where hung with muslin, chintz, or morine draperies, festooned with super lative gracefulness; . nor have the pride and muscle of the servant-maids been unexcited, to bring the objects of their solicitude into cleanly keeping with the rest of the dwell ings. The most brilliant part of the spectacle, however, is ,the display in the shops. The first glance must always suffice to inform a traveller that York is not &place of whole sale, but of retail traffic, when the greater part of each citizen's stock in trade is exhibited to the street. The adroitness of our shopkeepers in this art is now exemplified to the highest perfection a for in passing along the principal avenues one would conclude that the " wealth of Ornius and of Ind," the most exquisite, natural, and manufactured productions of the earth, were stowed together in the city of York. The. treasures of some fairy palace seem exposed for sale, and the wardrobes of all the harems in Asia turned out to be aired. In Stonegate the vanity is only equalled by the splendour of the wares in the milliners' and the jewellers', the tailors' and the mercers' show-rOome. Cyclometry and felt-making have been allied, to produce opera hats of the true Parisian curve, ranges of which, with glittering loops, attract the eye on every side. But the rows of turbans, caps, frills, fancy bonnets, &c. &c., raised on a fore ground of artificial flowers, which line the streets, bid de fiance to description. One e only . wonders for the moment who are to wear so many fine things, scarcely a visitor having yet arrived ; and the city; thbugh sprinkled with a few genteel loungers, evincing nothing of the crowding and bustle generally indicative of the eve of a great and fashionable assemblage. There are, indeed, some sad forebodings respecting the success of the approaching festival. The number of persons who have already taken ' apartments is said to be comparatively few, and certainly scarce a house is to be seen' without a lodging bill in the window. Until Monday next, however, nothing extensive can be known upon this subject, as, from the habitual and re puted dullness of York, people never think of coming 'here till the last minute. The only distinguished character that has ar rived is Incledon, who was a passenger in one of this evening coaches. On Saturday many are expected, and on Monday the Duke of Leeds, Earl of Harewood, and some other noblemen. The Duke of Devonshire, Lord Morpeth, and the other im mediate connexlons of the late Earl of arlisle, will bepre vented by his recent death a circumstance much and justly deplored by the managers of the festival. They anticipate nevertheless that the higher classes from all parts of the country will flock hither, and thus mom than compensate for the seem ing indifference which 'it must be confessed a few individuals in the neighbourhood of York have hitherto shown to the sue cess.of the undertaking. It is confidently asserted, too, and believed, that several persons from the continent, including some of consequence, are to grace the festival with their pre sence, as the steam-packet between Rotterdam and Hull affords desirable facility for the Germans to gratify their love of music on this occasion. At present very few articles sell at enhanced prices, anti after the festival many probably may be obtained on - reduced terms. The preparations in the Minster are in a state of great for wardness, but the descriptions Of them which have hitherto ap peared do not, perhaps, convey the most correct idea of the ar rangement. The only part of that magnificent pile appropriat ed for the Festival is the great nave from the western portal to the screen at the entrance into the Choir, together with the side aisles to the same extent. The orchestra is erected in the space formed by the arches which support the tower, and of course faces the west. It presents a concave front to the nave ; the centre to be occupied by the instrumental performers; and tile' wings, which recede' something On either side, by the chorus, singers. 'rhe openings from the orchestra into the transepta have been borded up to a considerable heighe, to prevent the in. jurious dispersion of the sound, and will be painted a light stone-colour, to correspond with the Minster. Much of lthe-effect of this noble structure has been destroyed by the manner in which the nave and side aisles are disposed to accommodate the company. As you enter at the west door, the whole view of the interior is cut off by an immense gallery which has been raised 'against that end of the building to face the orchestra at the other extremity. After advancing some paces, two flights of stairs branch off right and left, and com municate with a. long passage which opens into the centre, and near the top of the gallery before-mentioned. Other parts of the company, instead of turning up those stairs, proceed a little farther onward still, ascending a few steps, and reach another opening among the lower benches of the gallery. In advance of this opening, and in front of the gallery, is a projecting semi-hexagonal space, called the Royal box, but having nothing majestic whatever in its aspect. The gallery is consi dered capable of containing two thousand persons—the benches being 33 in number, running the entire width of the Minster. —They have wooden backs, which, as well as the seats, are covered with crimson cloth. The workmanship seems massive and secure; but the former impression on entering the Cathe dral is destroyed. On either side are other galleries to cor respond, "which fill the full breadth of the ailes, and project a short way in advance of the clusters of pillars. The floor of, the nave is provided with benches like those noticed above, and resembles the pit of the King's or the other large theatres. The floors of the ailes are also occupied by seats which, how ever, run longitudinaily and at right angles to those of the nave. At the last festival there wereno galleries, and although their erection no* affords room fora much larger audience, it is generally complained that the plan looks too much like a play house, and 'that the sublimity of the effect must be injured in proportion. The charges for admission to the several benches described, are from a guinea to 7s. each. Some persons say that the transepts, which are totally shut out from the body of the Minster, will be let at ss. each person, for standing and hearing room. Of the new Concert-room, which has been lately built, and which adjoins and communicates with the old Assembly-room,' nothing need be said but that it is a very elegant apartment,. judiciously and tastefully arranged, and fitted up for the pur pose to which it is destined. It has cost 6001. The expences of the present festival, including the above sum, are estimated at 17,0001. The principal vocal performers alone are to receive upwards of 2,1001. Among the engage ments which help to, swell this large amount are the following: —Mlle. Garcia, 336/. ; Madame Caradori, 262/. 10s.; Braham, 2621. 10s. ; Miss Stephens, 219/. ; Miss Wilkinson, 210/. ; De Begnis, 210/. ; Sapio e 1521. 10s. ; Vaughan, 105/. The lowest chorus singer receives four guineas, and the others from that up to 12 guineas; and thus, as the band consists of about 200 performers more than on the last occasion, the ex peaces on that score only, are estimated at 2,000/. additional. .The principal singers absorb of this extra charge about 500/. Madame De Begnis is prevented by indisposition' from coming here, and none of the Others have yet arrived. Persons are now admitted to see the Minster and Concert-' room on paying not less than 61 each, the receipts from which must be worth while. . The Committee of Management do not seem, in some re spects, to act for the benefit of the Festival. They' have said hitherto that even the Conductors shall not have a single ad mission for a wife or friend, and an application having been made to them for tickets, for the York Newspaper s, a few days ago, they refused to comply. To-morrow will decide whether the London press is to be slighted in the same manner. HEREFORD MUSIC MEETING. The continued and severe indisposition of Mr. Vaughan has impeded the completion of the performance of the excellently selected music for the Festival. However, hitherto there has been very little omitted, in consequence of the kind exertions of Mr. Bellamy, Dr. Chard, and Mr: W. Knyvett, • and partieu:arly of Mr. Bellamy, who has so much music 'al lotted to him as the principal bass singer. Mr. Vaughan was taken on Tuesday morning with an attack of the cholera mor bus, which encreased to a violent degree, so inudli so that in the course of the day serious apprehensitais were entertained for his safety ; be wax attended by two medical gentlemen, and a third was about to be called in, when providentially the dis order took a favourable turn, and in' a short time after he was considered out of danger. On Wednesday he was in 'a very weak state. The Concert on Tuesday evening at the Shire Hall, was attended by very elegant company ; it is to be re- ' gretted they were not numerous. The first part consisted of a selection from " .-cis and Galatea; " the whole of the music is so delightful that it would be in vain to particularize. — Miss Stephens sung her favourite air, 4: Hushye pretty warbling choir," and the other principal soprano songs.-- 31r. Bellamy shone in " More ruddy than a cherry." De Eegnis made his first S appearance, and sang two Italian songs; one of them was in imitation of a composer, at a rehearsal of his own music, of which he is an enthusiast, and e a. n •i c ti o r r i e l d is . vo D ie r e . a c n h d a a r c d t , io o n f ‘Viintltheedssteerv,ervaelryinkstinrudmi4iutsp.porHtee was the tenor part* in the. glees. The performance on Wednesday morn ing at the Cathedral, was the Sacred Orat orio of the Mess i ah, which as usual filled nearly every_seat with company elegantly ~ i dressed., it was opened by Dr. Chard with much taste, and all the effect the short compass of his voice would admit of. The Doctor also supported several of the other tenor parts ; the only omission was the air, "Thou shalt break them," which re quires great compass of voice, and 11,43FIlarrry was not able to take it s: owing to his having so many rillfsolos in the- Oratorio, which he supported in a very masteclrghil effective manner.— The other solos .and verse parts we ably supported by Miss Stephens, Miss Travis, and Mr. W. Knyvett. The Chorusses were very full and effective. The band' was ably led by Mr. Cramer, and conducted by. Professor Clarke Whitfield. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

John Knight, M.A., has been instituted, by the Lord Bishop of Exeter, to the rectory of Huish, Devon, on the presentation of the Right Hon. Lord Clinton, void by the death of the Rev. John knight. The Rev. .1. Allport has been licensed to the perpetual curacy of Atherstone, on the nomination of the Rev. Benjamin Rich ings, A. 111., as vicar of Madcetter, Warwickshire. On Mr. Allport's leaving his curacy of Chippenham, he was kindly presented by the inhabitants with 4501. in testimony of their respect and gratitude for his faithful services during the eight years he officiated as their Curate.

John Davis, jun., to be One of his Lordship's Do mestic Chaplains.—(Dublin Evening Post.) A respectable MEETING was held at BARN.. WELL, on Monday last, pursuant to public notice, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the proper method to be adopted for the erection . of a Church for that populous and ex tensive parish. The Rev. J. Scholefield, M.A. being called to, the Chair, read an extract of a letter from the Rev. Dr. Gel dart to his Curate, dated previous to the notice for convening the meeting, whereby Dr. Geldart pledges himself that a church shall be erected as soon as circumstances will admit; it was therefore resolved that the meeting considers it unneces sary for the present to take any further steps towards the erec tion of a -church. We trust that as the patron has thus voluntarily taken upon himself the responsibility of building the church, its erection will he commenced immediately. The anxiety of " the inhabitants being so strongly evinced on the subject, we shall be gratified in being enabled to communicate, from time to time, the progress of the patron's exertions; and hope that the parish may be soon accommodated with a church and kurial ground corresponding with the magnitude of its population, which now amounts to about 5000 souls.—(cam bridge Journal, Sept. 9.) HORSE RACE IN RUSSIA. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED PETEBSBURCH, :.liG. 17 The long-talked-of match between two English horses and two Cossack horses, for 71 versts, or 47 English miles and a third, took place on the 4th of August, and was won by 'sae' of the • English horseti.- The match was originally proposed by . the Cossack General Count Orloff Dencessoff, Generals Alexeij Orloff, VasssiltshiscofF, Levascheff,.and Prince Dolgorouki, the Master of the Horse, and was accepted by Count Matuszewie. The stakes were 50,000 roubles, and road fixed upo:, was from the Ligova Canal through Zarsko-sselo to Gatchina, a distance of 35i versts, and back to the starting post. The road is paved at the bottom, and the surface dreadfully hard and stony. The Cossack party had - taken every precaution to procure the best horses of the breed. Count Orloff Deneessoff went hiself to the Don, in order to'pick them out; and there was not a tribe of the Cossacks but what furnished their quota. Cossacks of the Don, the Black Sea, and the Ural, Calmuks, Baslikirs, and Kirgnees, all sent their most celebrated racers ; and in this way above twenty horses arrived at- St. Petersburgh, from which the two best were selected after 'a variety of trials, which rendered their party quite confident irf . success. In the mean time the English horses - were neither seen nor heard of.. It was only known that Count Matuszewic had imported some for the parpose, with grooms to train and ride them; and the English party went on steadily backing their horses at 4 to 3, and 5 to 4, without alarming themselves at the whispered miraculous trials of the Cossacks. The day arrived, and the horses fixed upon were a bay Cossack of the stud of the late well-known Hetman Count Platoff, and a chesnut, Zeonide, of the stud of Count Kutcinikoff. The former was rather a coarse vulgar animal, high in the hips, but good in the loins, and showing considerable powers. The latter, though bred on the Pon, was a very neat horse, betraying clearly its Arabian descent. The English horses brought to the post by Count Matuzewic were Sharper, by Octavius, dam by•Gohanna, bred by the Earl of Egremont, and Mina, by Orville, out of Barosa, by Vermin, . bred by Lord George Cavendish.—The horses started at five minutes past five in the morning, the Cossacks leading on one side of the road at a Moderate pace, and the English following on the other side about three or four lengths behind. Before they had gone half a verst, the stirrup iron of Thomas Arthur, who rode Sharper, broke in the eye, and the horse ran .away with him, passing Mina, who would not stop bshind. Owing to this unfortunate accident , the two English horses ran a tremendous pace up Pulkova s hill, and through Zarsko-sselo, bidding defiance to the utmost exertions of their riders to pacify them; the Cossacks following about 200 yards behind. The English horses arrived at Gatchina in one hour and four . minutes, the Cossacks coming in two minutes after them. - Here the two English horses were quite fresh and full of running, as was the chesnut Cossack also, but the bay was already very much distressed, and fell about three versts after turning, never appearing again • in the race. .• Before reaching Zarsko-sselo, on their return, Mina burst his coronet,.from the -hardness of the road, and was immediately pulled up and taken to a stable at that place. Soon after this, the re maining Cossack began to flag ; -and the accompanying Cossacks, contrary to all - rule or agreement, began to drag him on by the bridle, throwing away the saddle and putting a mere child on his back. Before reaching Pulkova bill,at the early part o f th e race, an d on d escen di ng Sharper spewed the effect s o f t h e pace h e h a d gone, w h en much distressed , b u t i t was ev id ent h e mus t w i n; w o a f a t s l a i y e extraordinary f ou l p l ay o f t h e C ossac k s, w h o now trifnhauienrsnlply'iiinticelg away on their horse, some dragging him on by a rope and the bridle at his head, others actually pulling him on by the tail, and riding alongside of his quarters to support him, and push him along, relieving each other repeatedly in this fatiguing employment. Sharper cantered in much distressed, but game enough to have gone considerably farther. He did the whole distance in 2 hours, 43 minutes, and 42 seconds, and, had it not been for his running away, might have done it in less time, without being so much distiessed. The Cossack was warped, and carried in 8 minutes after him ' and, had he been left to himself an d hi s rider, would, undoubtedly , have re mained at Pulk ova -hill . The English horses at starting car ried full 3 stone more than the Cossacks, and during the latter ' half of the race the difference was still greater, as the Cossacks had a mere child 'on their horse for form's sake. The concourse of spectators was immense, and amongst others, their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael honoured the race with their presence. The road for the whole distance was lined by the Cossacks of the Guards at regular intervals ; and some telegraphic movements of .their pikes, unintelligible to any but the initiated, occasioned some brisk betting at one moment during the race, for which they smarted in the end. Last week an apple was plucked in a garden at Penrith, which' meastired 13 incites in circum ference, and weighed ounces. BRAZILIAN LOAN of X 2,000,000 ter ling, Negociated by Mr. N.
