Nulla restigia retrorsum. Such was hitherto the maxim of the Anglo-Saxon race, .and such bad 'it been of all other nations until the hour of their decadence arrived. The first reactionary symptom may be regarded as the " writing on the wall," that warns of an impending downfall, which would be the more serious in proportion to the height they had previously attained. This great truth has always been recognised in this country. Catholic Emancipation, the Re form Act, the Abolition of the Corn Laws, were all accepted the moment the enactments had respectively obtained the sanction of Parliament, anti the most virulent party man, although he might cherish his own convictions, made no public effort to disturb the existing arrangements. We still looked " onwazds" as a nation, but never cast a solitary glance behind. We had hoped that our transatlantic cousins had participated in this spirit, and that, although the dark blot of slavery was for a time tolerated within certain carefully assigned limits, there would be no extension of the iniquitous system. It was not for a moment supposed possible that the " compromises" that had been entered in o would be disturbed by any movement the pro-slavery direction. The friends and advocates of " The Domestic Institution" have, however, thought - proper to violate the solemn compact into which they had deliberately entered. Though the mischievous energy of the Missourian ruffians, and the wanton invasion of a friendly territory, with which they were connected by the strongest band=, they have, for the time being, succeeded in making Kansas a Slave State, and with it, if allowed to retain their inauspicious ac quisition, they will obtain the remainder of the as yet unoccupied territory up to the very coast of the Pacific Ocean. The balance of power in Congress will thus be completely overturned. The Planters will have it all their own way, and the stern strength of the Northerns will have to quail before the fiery energy and wicked determination of their South ern rivals. Twenty-five millions of free men will have to succumb to*three hundred thousand mas ters of three millions of slaves ! The recent intelligence by the Niagara confirms the sinister rumours that had previously prevailed respecting the Planters' triumph in Kansas. Seve ral pitched battles had taken place, in which the Free-Boilers had been routed, with con siderable loss to their opponents. The vic , tors showed no moderation. To kill, burn, destroy, and confiscate, seemed their sole object ; and they treated their fellow-citizens, who by a pleasing legal fiction were supposed to enjoy the protection of the Federal Government, just as if they had been fugitive slaves beyond the social pale. The Federal troops have been called out, but so long as the PiEncs Cabinet, with their convenient and pliable JEFF. DAVIS remains in power, it will only be to sustain and assist the Missourians. There will be no interference in the hour of success; but the moment the tables are turned, and the Free-soilers gain au advan - tage, then will the movement be made to support the cause which General PiEn.cz has lent all his --- efforts to advance. But will the hardy Northerns submit patiently to this untoward state of affairs ? Will they permit an insignificant nainori'y long to triumph over their supexiors in all that constitute 3 a re• spectable parry ? We do not, we oinnot ereiit the degrading imputation. We shall nor, qd speaking grievously insult men of our own race, the same language, profeoing the same reli gion, and entertaining free aspirations similar to our own. They will not become voluntary serfs—they will not recognise Southern ascen dancy. The time has arrived• when' they should demand a " repeal of the Federal Union." They can not only retain but advance their political and national status. The North is the great power of the States. Left to themselves the Southerns would speedily sink into welt-merited contempt.. The coloured population would indeed he a despicable class, if, with a majority of ten to one, they would still endure the hardships and oppression which have hitherto immersed them in the slough of despond." It, is merely Northern strength that has caused them to despair. Let them only be well assured that they have nothing to fear fro - ni that quarter, and before another year has passed away the slave)wners will have bitter cause to deplore their temporary triumph in Kansas. The election of FREMONT to the Presidency may save the Union. Without it there must be a dissolution, and a crash that will serve to point many morals, and adorn tales through out all future ages. Spain has got another constitution. The na ture of it might be inferred from a knowledge of the parties to whose recommendation the Spanish people are said to owe its adoption. There are, however, more ample and reliable sources of information respecting it, including history. The last constitution is neither new nor untried. It is the constitution of 1845, approved by CHRIS TINA and LOUIS PHILIPPE, and not without reason by the latter. Shrewd and ambitious, but in this instancebesottecl, the hoary intriguer recognised in it a means to a dynastic end, and a powerful means it proVed, though not precisely to the end he proposed. If Mr. SMITH, who 'left the Tuileries rather in a hurry in 1848, were living he could toll with more precision than we can pretend to what either end was. One thing may here be said of it—it was calculated to clear the way for French intrigue, and to a certain extent it answered the purpose. A sufficient motive to win for it the approval of the Em peror NAPOLEON, whose ambition, though more towering, is perhaps not . less dynastic than Louis PHILIPPE' s, and who, to all appearance, trusts to his star and management of " the ribbons" to escape the fate of Mr. SMITH. A constitution acceptable at once to him and his dowager ally, the royal wife of MuNoz and right royal plunderer of Spain, cannot in the very nature of things be good for Spain, or savour so much of anything as of despotism. Awhile back we said the tendencies of the revolution by O'DONNELL were in this direction. The event so far verifies the prediction. " Call ye this backing of your friends ?" de. wands FALSTAFF of his merry runaway com panions. " Call ye this tt. constitution ?" may as reasonably be demanded of Marshal O'DONNELL, the reluctant but inevitable tool of the fat dowa er. A constitution which practically will deprive t,he people of all representation, by paving the way for the election merely of Court tools and sycophants to the Chamber of Deputies, while the Senate is appointed by the Crown, and the Cortes is denied the right of self-convocation. This,' however, is not all. According to this precious charter--,-this instrument whereby the Court de crees itself absolute and. the people mere taxpayers --the National Guard is abolished, citizens bearing arms for the protection of the St de being declared inc)mpatible with all good government. Quite in harmony with this, but going deeper, is the abolition, of \ the ancient municipalities of Spain, and- their replacement -by Royal Commis era is n othing like going aS Pear to thq fountain-head as possible, and O'DONNELL, and NAPOLEON, and the fat Dowager—an ever noto_ rious trio-- , -may be said, in this instance, tb have been wise in their generation. A precious ,Con stitation this ! Certain supplementary statutes have, however, been deemed necessary to 4t its working to the present time. Among these is a declaration of the liability of the Cortes to dis S olution or adjournment according to' the royal plea sure. The senate is limited, at present, to one hundred and forty members, leaving abundant scope for the work of corruption among the mem bers of the Liberal party. In all towns of more than 40,000 inhabitants the mayoralties are to be nominated by Government exclusively, and in communes of less population " the influence of the Crown" is somehow or other to be secured. The Press, of course, does not escape notice, while good hope • is h3ld out for the clergy. Offences committed by public writers, drc., are to be brought " under the cognisance of a jury," save in grave political cases, when an O'DoNNELL jurywould either be too slow or not to be relied on. The clergy have no such gracious dealing to be grate ful for. Unlike the Press, which is ostensibly promised fair play up to a certain extent, they aro promised nothing ; but, judging by the effect of the Charter of 1845, and recent indications of some significance, are likely to get a toler ably fair instalment of what they chiefly want—viz., the restoration of the Church property confiscated for the servic3 of the State. Quietness may, therefore, be expected from both, if from different and, antagonistic 'aotives. Spain is enthralled; ISA.B3LLA 'a des. pot ; and the game is apparently in the hands of NAPOLEON and CHRISTINA. O'Doxistzti, won't last as he is. Already he is 'hard pressed, and unless he play a soaring game will before long pass from the scene to make way for Queen CHRISTINA. Frendh influence, and worse than ?tench morals, will then be iu the ascendancy, and will continue so, in all probability, till Louis SMITH and S :flora Murroz some flee morning tura .their eyes towards Dover in search of the packet, Ti 4 • - BERLIN, SUNDAY. Ytaterday eveuiug the nuptials of the Princess Louisa of Prussia with the Grand Duke of Baden were solemnised in the Royal Schloss with all the or some more primitive mod. 3 of aquatic convey ance. NEArais is inexorable—`,o a NAPOLEON as to a LOUIS PHILIPPE, to a CHRISTINA. and BELLA ast to an O'DONNELL. Tae consolation a' belief of this affords m.y not be greatstill it is cheering. THE SU' lv, LONDON, MONDAY EVE:lige, sEpArTilm.nfilan WO, LteBC could-not have been sent out of the Bagni, in conse quence of the excessive severity exercised by the comaudante, who in one day ordered thousands of blow to be inflicted without sufficient reason. The witness Acuti, with little prudence towards his ensiplol; ers ' germitted it to transpire that, having several times found the " Forzatti ' without their irons, he reported the fact to the Director-General of the Bagel, with a.proposition that instead of pro ceeding againstthe prisoners in a regular way, which would cost the state a large suit —a sUmwhich they could never repay by reason of their poverty—the more economical remedy of flogging them should be adopted. The witnessfurthers fated that the Directo r presented the report to Ilia Majesty, and that his Majesty had deigned to order that fifty blows should be given on such occazions—that, in execu tion of sovereign orders, he had caused 50 blows to be inflicted on each of 56 Forrati whom he had found in one day without their irons (that is, 2,800 in all). The president, who saw clearly the damaging character of such evidence, wished to enter in his notes that the blOws had been given by superior orders ; the cemandante, however, more stupid than honest, still persisted—" No, his Majesty gave me the order.' Thus we see that every step which is taken in this iniquitous trial serves only to compromise more and more the cha racter and conduct, of the Government of the two Sioilies. dent of the United States to make this his requisition upon you for two regiments of foot militia to be fur nished to Major;•General P. F. Smith, of the United States army, commanding the military department of the west, whenever the exigencies of the public service shall induce him to call upon you for the said troops, to be employed for the purposes above indi ca t e d within the limits of maid territory, each regiment to consist of 1 colonel, 1 lieut.-colonel, 1 major, 1 adjutant (the last named to be taken from the lieutenants of the regiments) 1 serjeant-major, and 10 companies, each company to consiet..lof 1 captain, 1 first-lieutenant, 1 second lieutenant, 4 serjeants, 4 corporals, 2 musicians, and 74 private.;. General Smith will be instructed, whenever he may call upon you for these troops, to detain an officer from his command to inspect and muster'them into the service of the United Statesatsuch points as may be designated by your Excellency. "Very respectfully, your obedient se rvan t, "JEFFERSON DAVIS, Secretary of War. " His Excellency the Governor of Kentucky and Illinois." Mr.' 0. Smith, of New York, has been appointed Miniiter from Walker's Government to the United States. The Government at Washington were de termined not to recognise him. He was proposing a loan in New. York of $2,000,000, secured by a mortgage of the public lands of Nicaragua to trus tees. Costa Rica is arming against Walker. Presi • dent Mora has issued an address to the citizens of the Central American Republics, urging them to forget past differences and unite against Walker. The General Government of the United States have decided to interfere to suppress th e S an F ranc i sco Vigilance Committee. The instructions . have not yet been made public. The dates, from Nassau, New Providence, are to the 25th of Aug. At the last session of the General Court at Nassau, J. Simons and Robert Stevens, masters respectively of the wrecking schooners Anne Sophia and Sarah, were convicted and sentenced to 18 months' impri sonment with hard labour for some unlawful deal ings in the case of the wreck of the American brig -, Capt. Wall, bound from St. Jago for Trieste, with a cargoofcopper and logwood, which was saved perfectly dry, and for cutting away the brig's tiller, thereby preventing Capt. Ramsay, of the schooner President, from bringing the vessel to Nassau. The reports of the condition of the public health at New York represent an encouraging state of af fairs. At the various points where the yellow fever prevails the disease continues to decline. Rumours calculated to create alarm having been circulated with reference to the appearance of the fever in the 15th ward, Dr. Rockwell, the President's physician, carefully examined into the facts. He reported that no case of sickness or death has occurred from yel low fever in this city, except those arising from having visited vessels at quarantine or infected places out of the city. The Bermudian, of Aug. 20, says the screw line of-battle ship Nile, Capt. Mundy, has arrived from Halifax. The 6-gun sloops of war Gorgon and Gey ser, each to be accompanied by two gun-boats, are to leave England for this station.. Monday Evening.—The Attorney-General has suspended the conclusion of his speech until to morrow, saying that it will be necessary to re-examine Captain Acuti, who has given evi demo contrary to fact, and utterly false. The 50 stripes to each political prisoner were ordered, not by the King, says the Attorney-General, but by the Minister in the name of the King. If this is intended to be a defence of his Majesty, it is at the expense of his authority, which is supposed to ba exercised by the Ministers without the royal permission. Take all the incidents of this extraor dinary trial, and what do they say of the system which is fostered by Austria and permitted by England and France ? • Accounts from the West represent a partial fail ure of the Indian corn crop.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition) says : . " Premature intelligence of the withdrawal from Naples of the English and French Legations, and of the sending thither of a naval squadron, was telegraphed yesterday from London to Paris, and produced a fall in the funds of about a quarter per cent. The above statement, however, although at present un founded, may very probably prove a . shadow of coming events, especially as regards the interruption of diplomatic intercourse with the Neapolitan Government, which it is thought will surely take place. It is difficult to predict the extent of the effect which this unfriendly demon stration will have on the public of Naples ; but if things are carried further, and French and English ships of war appear in the bay, many think that an insurrection may be expected. The King appears to be taking every precaution in anticipation of rebellion against his Govern. went. The accounts that reach us from Naples are discordant as to the temper of the nation, but, after carefully weighing them and making allowance for partisan statements, one remains pretty well convinced that great discontent and a strong revolutionary spirit exist there. How, in deed, could it be otherwise under so oppressive and tyrannical a system ? We shall see what effect the withdrawal of the Ambassadors has . upon King Ferdinand. , If none, England and France must necessarily, one would think, take a fur ther step, or their attitude will hardly be worthy of their position. The recall of tho. Ambassadors is here considered as beyond a doubt. An At taché d'Ambassade left this morning with de spatches for Naples, believed to contain orders to M. Brenier to demand his passports. There is talk of . an ultimatum to be taken to Naples by a fleet, but this is a mere rumour. The question be comes very interesting and important, and natu rally begins to excite a good deal of attention. The Paris Correspondent of the Morning Post (third edition) says : " The latest offiqial despatches from Naples do not report any material change in the state of affairs. It was supposed that the King had communicated with the Austrian Govern ment, as. M. Hubner, whilst declaring he had no political mission, offered to be the medium of communication between Naples and Vienna. King Ferdinand, it is said, had been ad vised by his own Cabinet to refer his difficulties with England and France to the arbitration of the other great Powers. Should the King adopt such an idea, I think they will find that the Cabinets of England and France will refuse to treat with any third Power. Naples was per fectly tranquil. There was considerable activity in the army, and orders had been given to pre. pare nailiiiary stores ready for delivery." The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 18th inst., publishes the following letter : "SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE 10,000 sluszcrs. ".We have received from aJnoa an 11th list, con taining the names of 500 su.bscriberi, accompanied by the following letter.:-",'Basle, Switzerland, September 1.

The entire number of arrests made on account of the plot discovered against the life of the Em peror is 49. Some of them were made subse quently to the night of the 19th instant. A por tion of the prisoners were seized , when assembled together, and others were taken at their own places of residence. Establishments are in process of formation , at the French settlement of New Caledonia for tho reception of political and other criminals. It is said that the Prince de Ligne, the Belgian ambassador to the coronation of the' Czar, has re fused the decoration of St. Alexander Newski, on account of the higher order of St. Andrew having been conferred on Prince Esterhazy and Count de b Morny. _ . _ . . . The illonif Atr de e Armie contradicts a statement that has appeared in other papers, to the effect that the great expedition against the Kabyles, planned for the spring, was to take place immediately, in consequence of the recent aggression of those moun taineers. It is true that two divisions, those of Gen. Yusuf and Renault, have been put in motion, and will probably make some incursions into the enemy's country, and it is impossible to say exactly to what extent their reconnaissances may be car ried ; but the projected expedition will take place at the time originally appointed. Tao subjoined telegraphs have been received in saris ;- - ." BERLIN', Sept. 19.—The changes in the Russian Administration have gone on continuously. Only two of the functionaries of the Czar Nicholas of the highest order now hold their posts. Adjutant-General Katetain,, high in the War Office, and an ultra of the old Russian party, has been appointed Gevernor-Gcnerai of Orenburgh which is looked on as exile.

This morning the political trial of Mignonna and company will 'be renewed. A . hasty and 'unex pected hearing was given on Saturday -the 6th, but only two witnesses were examined, just to coin-, plate the case for the defence, before the Attorney- General proceeds to make his re4uisitoria. Though the session of the 6th therefore, was simply formal, still some evidence was elicitcd of a moat damn ing character, showing what a system of ab solutism is pursued here, and how slight the regard paid to the much-boasted laws of' the country One of the accused, Signor Mauro, had called in his defence Captain Acuti, comandante of the Bagni of Procida in 1855. This witness deposed that in political affairs Mauro had been quiet, and had not the power to' join any criminal association, because he had been separated from the others in consequence of his want of reli gion. Many questions were put to Acuti by others of the accused regarding their conduct, which were answered in a similar mariner, when at length the president asked him if it were true that he had ordered a great number of blows to be inflicted in one day on the penalcouvictsof Procida. This ques tion was suggested by an observation made by Mauro on one of the previous days of trial, to the effect that certain letters attributed to De Angelis SPAIN. MADRID, Sept. 21.—fher;has been a dreadful collision on the Aranjuez Railway. Five persons were killed. The Gazette of the 21st contains a decree accept ing the resignation of Cantero, and naming Sala verria Minister of Finance, the actual director of that department. A letter from Genoa, of the 15th instant, says that the defenders of Venice and Rome residing there had subscribed a sum sufficient to purchase one of the hundred' gnus for Alessandria, on which these words were to be inscribed, " Offered to Piedmont by the Defenders of Venice and Rome." Prussia has given a written consent to the re demption of the Sound Dues, and it is thought a special Conference will assemble at Copenhagen in November, to settle the question. The Zollverein Conference has been removed from Eisenach to Weimar, and will probably last out the year. It is understood that General Serrano, the Spa nish Mia'ster t France, has received authority to deliver passports to Spain to Marshal Narvaez, if he desires to return thither. AMERICA LIVERPOOL, SEpr. 21. By the arrival of the mail steamship Niagara we have received advices from Boston to the 10th inst. and New York by telegraph, via Halifax, to the 11th inst. She has brought $497,923 specie on freight. On the.l3th inst. the Niagara passed the Royal Mail steamer Cambria, hence from Boston, and the screw steamer Khersonese, hence. for Portland, United States. The United States' mail steamship Ericsson, hence, arrived at New York on the 4th inst., and the screw steamship Canadian, hence, at Quebec on the 9th.

" The news from Kansas is important : the Pro "slavery forces have succeeded in turning the tables on their Free-State opponents, and much blood has been spilt and property destroyed, if the reports that have reached us are rel iable it At Ossawatornie on the 30th ult, the belligerents, to the number of 800 on each Bide), fought for au hour s wbuu thu free-State men were routed, with, ,a loss of 20 killed and wounded. Mr. Brown, the leader of the defeated party, and his son are reported among the killed. 01.1 the 2d inst. the Pro-slavery men attacked the Free-soilers in Leavenworfh, drove every one of them out of the town at the ptiint of the bayonet, and destroyed or confiscated their property ; it is also stated that parties of Missourians had posset sion of the lota road, thus cutting off the retreat of the Free State men.. Col. Geary, the newly appointed governor, was at St. Louis on the 4th inst. en route for the scene of the disturbance. The force of regular troops being inadequate to the exigencies of the cage, the governor ordered to enrol and organise the militia of the territory. One division under General Richardson is already in the field. Requisitions had also been made upon the governors of Kentucky and Illinois for two regi ments of infantry, to be placed under the enrol ment of General Smith, to aid in suppressing in surrectionay combinations against the constituted governor of Kansas.

Captain Frederick Fitzclarence son of the late Earl of Munster, and his cousi n , th e Hon. Miss Sydney, eldest daughter of the late Lnrd De Lisle and Dudley. The venerable Countess . of Lauder3a!e died on Tues day last, at her son's seat in the north. The deceased bad attained the great age of 94 years. Her ladyship was the relict of James, eighth Earl of Lauderdale, by whom she bad surviving issue the present Ear!, the Hon. Sir Anthony Maitland, Lady Eleanor Balfour, and Lady Mary Stanley. Numerous families of rank are placed in' mourning by the event.

The two senior aldermen below the chair are Mr. Finnis and Sir R. W. Carden, and these id the ordinary bourse would be returned•by -th e li very to the Court of Aldermen, who would elect one of them (generally the senior) as Lord Mayor for the next year. The licensed victuallers, who possess great influence id the City, are opposed to Sir R. W. Carden, in consequen ce o f th e course he took with regaid to the Sunday Ben* Bill, and generally to the interests of the publicans, and are said t) be re , olved in defeating his nomination at the ap proaching election, and with that view will return Al dernian :ialornons and-Alderman Finnic to the Court of Aldermen, who in that case would no doubt re-elect Alderman Salonions. In the event of AldermanSalo mons not being returned by the livery, and Sir W. Carden passed over, the two Aldermen returned to the court will be Mr. Finnis and Mr. D. W. Wire, in which case Mr. Alderman Finnis will undoubtedly be selected as the next: rhief magistrate for the city of London. THE NEW 13TSHOP OF LONDON. —The Rev. Dr. Tait, who has accepted the Bishopric of London is thus spoken of by the Carlisle Patriot, in which city he has fur the last few years officiated as dean :—" Dr. Tait make an effective Bishop of London, if his duties are not Lund to exceed his bodily Powers.. , ;other ..respec t s . he will doubtless be acceptable . in the feettop: dis to both clergy and laity.

In Carlisle, as dean, ho has un queAlonably done much good, both in the church and to the cause of education. Ail ranks will miss him, but the poor especially will lose in him and MN. Tait at once the most considerate and benevolent of friends." SPOnTING NOTES. • THE DOINGS AT DONCASTER. Although the principal Handicap event and the Great St. Leger wero carried off by outsiders, yet the doings at Doncaster were unprofitable enough to a large ma jority of book makers. They who had opposed Ellington when Fazzoletto was in the full flush of popularity were compelled at the last moment to get out at what linen drapers call an alarming sacrifice ; but they who had sufficient pluck to stand their money out against the favourite were well rewarded for their temerity. It is said that Ellington's party are not after all heavy losers by the result of; the race ; but this assertion I can scarcely believe to be founded on fact. That the with drawal of Fly-by-Night and Fazzoletto brought them a good deal of money is unquestionable, and the price to which Eglinton was ultimately advanced doubtless enabled them to obtain profitable hedging. It is also stated that one of the staunchest supporters of the horse backed Warlock at long odds. To account for the inglorious exhibition of the favourite is impossible. If ho figured in his correct form at Doncaster, what an extraQrclinary fluke must have been his Derby victory ! Although, in the anticipatory re marks which were published in Tice SUM on Monday last, I would "have none of him," yet I did not rate his racing ability so low as would be now warranted, if his running at Doncaster afforded any crite rion of it. In fact, I do not believe in Ellington's performances at Doncaster, and I am disin clined to regard them as a trustworthy indication of Ellington's racing power. The horse seemed to 1110 to be nervous, and, despite what has been urged to the con• trary, deficient in preparation. The surprise prepared by John Scott, it is said, was scarcely anticipated by his warmest admirers, and the moat sanguine believers in the art and tact of "The Wizard of the North." Even the owner of Warlock, who only backed the horse for 2001., bad so little con fidence in the ultimate profit of his investment that be gladly allowed whatever friends applied to him to "stand in." Even Flatman„ the jockey, when he got to the distance, and found the horse " going easy " with him, and that, in fact, his getting home fir,t was a certainty, is said to have been most agreeably astonished. His surprise, however, did not interfere with his judgment, for he waited with the most consummate patience, and brought his horse to the front with wonderful coolness and steadiness. His quiet smile, on pulling up, however, showed how deep was his gratification at adding a second St. Leger to his li3t of wins. Artillery proved that, after all, he has some stuff about him, and that his party were in a measure justified in backing him for the Derby. He proved at any rate second best is the St. Leger ; for had he not lost start, and kept so far out of his ground, he ought to have beaten Bonnie Scotland at least. The horse, however, requires delicate handling, and perhaps Basham best consulted his temper by the style In which be rode him. Bonnie Scotland is a fine handsome colt, but with the queerest forelegs, which will always render him difficult to train. Victoria, of whom great expectations were once entertained, and who, on the withdrawal of Fazzoleto, was believed likely to turn out the trusted representative of the 'Whitewall stable, disappointed her backers. All things considered, the St. Leger of 1856 will perhaps long be remembered as the most extraordinary race on record. No very large winners are yet reported, but I shall doubtless hear of several " favourites of fortune" this afternoon at the Corner, when the final squaring of accounts will take place. The handicaps, which seemed on paper badly con structed, and which were much found fault with to the umbrage of one of the stewards, really produced close and interesting races, and therefore in a measure silenced the adverse criticism which they produced. The success of old Typee for the Great Yorkshire Handicap was hailed with considerable gratification, and the fact of her being the top weight will doubtless give additional encouragement to handicappers to abolish the low scale of imposts which has of late years become much abused, and which has unquestionably exercised a pernicious influence on horse racing. The Portland Plate, too, for which thirty horses started, also furnished a credit. able specimen of amateur handicapping. The two-yr•old races introduced us again to Goldfinch, who figured in a style incompatible with his Ascot per formance ; Tasmania, a fine mare, who is likely to be again seen to advantage; Lambourne, who seems too small ever to do great things ; Blink Bonny and Ignoramus, who fully sustained their reputation ; Gemma di Vergy, who appears to have had - quite enough knocking about ; and Toutmarannt, whri';..]:l..r a- ha faunuritt , :1 . for the Derby throughout the winter. The racing on Friday showed two "oughts." First that Melissa ought to have won the Oaks, because she cut up Mincepie without an effort; and secondly, that the ought to have won the Cup, because the "Vicar" did not make sufficient use of her. Still no person regretted the magnificent Doncaster trophy's going to so ripe and true a sportsman as Lord Zetland, who will allow it to ornament his side board, and not either return it to the silversmiths for " a consideration," or dispose of it to clerks of courses to be contested at other meetings. Ellington's running on Friday was not better than his running on Wednesday. The Nursery Stakes produced a most interesting race, the favourite, Gitana, who had been highly tried with Tournament, lost only through the badness of her start. Many minor meetings are appointed to take place during the current week, but they are not likely to attract much attention. Mr. S. Merry will make an " experiment" at Beccles to-morrow and Wednes day. He is using every exertion to improve the character of the spurt in that locality, and has received strong assurances of encouragement and patronage from the noblemen and gentlemen of the district. The programme comprises six closed stakes, and several other " events," for which the nominations have yet to be made. Of the eight weighted for the Beccles and Suffolk Handicap, Redemption seems to be the most trustworthy. Either Adamas or Barbarity ought to win the Benacre Stakes. With a start I shall stand Pope Joan and Bobby B for the Sotterly Park Plate. Adamas and Sorceress appear to be favourably weighted for the Henham Nursery Plate. Rialto or Noisette may carry off the Suffolk Cop. Nearly all the horses entered for the Corporation Plate have other engagements at this meeting; it would therefore be absurd at present to endeavour to foretel the winner of that event. The Leicester meeting will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, and is likely to be well attended by metropolitan turfites. Under the management of Mr. T. Marshall, jun., the business will be. conducted with business-like regularity, and every arrangement which can tend to promote the success of the gathering will be adopted. The County Cup seems likely to go to either An. nouncement or Adam, Goldhill having broken down very badly at Warwick, and having been scratched for all his engagements this year. The T wo-yr-old Stakes I assign to Ge'nma di Vergy, in whose default, however, Madame Clicquot • will win. The most attractive names Amongst the nominations for the Leicestershire Handicap are Fisherman, Pantomime, and Prince of Orange ; and I shall not be surprised to see them pass the post in :the orJer in which I have set down their names. The Belvoir Stakes seems likely to be placed to the Cropper's scare. Could I calculate upon a start, I should give my preference to Pantomime and the Cropper for the handicap of 103ovs. each, Nirelter weights. New Brighton or Olympus may win the Scurry Plate. The Walsall Races do not require notice. 'the Man chester Meeting, which will take place on Friday and Saturday, I shall reserve for discussion on Thursday. A FRESH MAN. September 22. Tenders will be received at the War Departme .l n t, Pall Mall, on or before the 25th inst., from parties 2l owBis mug ling to purchase the following military stores : mus ket, 2,060 rifles, 2,500 pistols, 1 , 261 carbines, and 35,306 musket barrels. DEATH IN ST. SAVIOUR'S WORIEHOUSE.—An inmate of St. Saviour's Workhouse, named Charles Taylor Molsom, aged 42, died on Sunday week, and an inquest was held last Saturday. It appeared that he was ad rnitted-on the 4th inst., and was placed in the proba tionary ward at first, and set, like the others, to break atones,until, being ill, at the recom mendation of the medical officer, be was removed, and properly cared for. The cause of his death seemed to be a serious effusion on the brain, but it did not result from overwork ; and the jury returned a verdict of "Natural death," expressing their opinion that there was no want of care or dis cretion on the part of the taskmaster. THE PATENT BALI, WASHING MAOHlNE.—Whatever doubt may exist between the relative powers of inventive genius in this country and in America, and if the cast ing vote were left to the Englishwomen, Yankeeland would most assuredly obtain the majority. The many admirable advantages possessed by the newly introduced washing machine and patronised at all the Royal palaces has assuredly woes over to the other side of the Atlantic the sympathies of every housekeeper. Mr. Moore, the present proprietor of the patent, is very properly showing its capabilities in a practical way, at No. 133, High Holborn, where the most delicate, as well as the coarsest cloth's maybe see n converted in a few minutes into pure and clean fabrics, without a fracture even to the most gauzy or gossamer portions of it. And ye men of irri table tempers, one source of your annoyance is removed for ever. Buttons have a perfect immunity from being crushed or , displaced, and all is done by a number of floating balls made to perform all t he varied movements of a washerwoman's hands, LiTER,ATURE. Health, and Beauty.. By Madame Roxey 14.• Caplin;Darton, and Co. The author of this interesting and useful bro' chive has acquired such a celebrity ill the art or profession—for to the latter dignity corsetmaking is elevated in her hands—to which she has devoted her talents and energies as to render any introdue. tory notice on our part unnecessary. Suffice it to say the question of "corsets or no corsets" if; dealt with in these pages in an able, and, as mo st people will think, a satisfactory manner ; the gene' ral principles of dressing in conformity with the conditions of health being also clearly laid do", for females of every age. Madame °splint °I ; course, is at issue with that section of the medical profession which sets its face against the use of the corset altogether, and her efforts are directed to show that it is the abuse, and not the use, of corsets that is to be deprecated. The 10 ° 7 has so far the best of the argument in that she shows that, if unnecessary for females in a normal condition, the corset is necessary to an ex cessively large proportion of the sex, who, in cal "; stitution or figure, have fallen into an abnor m a l state, which more than warrants the m e of thL e appliance, if constructed with scientific regar d t the constitutional, accidental, or incidental nee i e. e " sities of the individual. That Madame CeP a° possesses the requisite knowledge to adapt the COr to scientifically to the wearer, and uncterstancl the principles to be observed in clothing, few , A l any, who peruse these pages will be inclined b doubt. The book may therefore be commended t° the notice of the female world, and more particu larly that part of it to which is entrusted the re' sponsibilities of maternity, the requirements o f the e .sex in regard to clothing being set forth from t ° cradle to old age.

The Communion of Labour. By Mrs. Jamesou• Longman, ' Brown, Green, Longman se d Roberts. ' • In the " Sisters of Charity," a lecture published last year, Mrs. Jameson set forth and urged t b , ° , claims of her sex to a more equal share of the vior''' to be done, and a more perfect comewe io/1 of interests in the work done, enforcing her argu . ment by the plea of necessity—the practical rel nition of such claims being imperatively deman_ d ir in the present state of society. The present wur:' meant, we are told, to be supplementary to t j e i above, is an illustration and an expansion ari l ,. facts and examples of the principles there brw set forth, and was, in part, delivered as a lecture 101 June last. It is an earnest book, in which raos t „ d the arguments are strongly fortified by facts; not a few just thoughts find the happiest aloi: sion—a book to read and ponder over with dis c % mination and candour. Some of its revelatios"e are startling and deplorable ; for instance, th ° ,. relating to hired nurses in workhouses and hospitr; including the wives of soldiers chosen in the latter capacity, to minister to the wounded and suff eri u t in the East. In a word, a strong case is made ° u for the social reform the author seeks. The Northmen in Cumberland and Westrnorelaw By Robert Ferguson.

Longman, Brown, Green, Longmans and Robert. A reprint of an article on " Uncle Tom's Cabin," of which a portion was issued in the 2Gth number of the Edinburgh Review, and of Mr. Sumner, the American senator's celebrated speech, with a n otice of the event which followed that speech. Th e appearance of this velume is quite opportune, an d those who have not read the terrible but righteous philippic of the above right-minded and outspoken senator will do well to avail themselves of it, in order not only to be informed of the cause of the ,. above attack on him,. but along with it 101 "; American slavery is, and how it is regarded sniu. spoken of by the nobles of Nature in the Vn ite r. States. A perusal of the notice of the events fol lowing on that speech may also be recommended, as as showing the lengths to which the slave P ar ''l s will go and the attitude assumed by the oppone l Li of slavery, startled from their apathy by a brubt'b and cowardly assault on one of their number t, which is without a parallel in Parliamentary hi' tory, and deserving of universal reprobation.
