Wetsail got away with a lead of three lengths, and he showed the way to the half-mile post, where he was joined by the favourite, Judex bringing up the rear. At the bend the latter came up on the outside, but he died away before getting to the distance, where Semiramis dropped back, her place being taken by Comet, between whom and Wetsail a splendid race ensued. Opposite the stand the young one had slightly the best of it, but Wetsail getting up in the last stride, he won by a head, the Miranda filly finishing three lengths from the pair. Judex was a bad fourth, and the favourite last. The Doncaster Spring Handicap of 10 sovs each, sft, and only 3if declared, with 100 soya added. Winners extra. The second to save his stake.

Ascend ing the rise, Jenny Wren, taking a wide line to herself, joined the leading division, and at the top of the hill she, with Bernice, went to the front, but, dying away again along tho woodside, Fontenoy came through and took a place next to Bernice ; the next lot, consisting of Joey Jones, Upperhand, Soothsayer, Flytrap, and The Lawyer, the last named of whom got nearer as they approached the Red House, where Fontenoy held tho lead. Before coming to the bend Joey Jones resumed the command, The Lawyer following second into the straight, and then giving way to Soothsayer and Upperhand, the remainder presenting a lengthened tail. At the distance the favourite had all safe, and he won in a canter by two lengths from Soothsayer, Upperhand coming home two lengths behind the pair. Flytrap finished a bad fourth, and then came Fontenoy, Bernice, Devotee, Picco, and The Lawyer in the order named, the last consisting of Amy, The Monk, and Jenny Wren.

Starbeam, closely followed by Lord Adolphus, the Sabra colt, and the Area filly, made the running up to the turn, when Lord Adolphus gave way to the Sabra colt and the favourite, who got on nearly equal terms with the leader before coming to the distance. Starbeam, however, drew away again at the stand, and won cleverly by a length, a neck separating the second and third. Lord Adolphus was a bad fourth, Daniel fifth, Langholm sixth, and the Tib Tackot filly last. The Londesborough Plate of £5O, winners extra. Red House in.

The favourite got the best of a straggling start, and, attended by Charles Fox and Peignoir, ho made the running to the turn into the straight, where the Miranda filly, who got badly off, joined the leading trio. At the distance Charles Fox dropped behind Peignoir, who failed to reach Adventurer, the latter winning easily by two lengths. Four lengths separated Peignoir from the Mi randa filly, at the girths of whom finished Charles Fox and Churchman, but Ripley, who was beaten a long way, did not pass the post.

STAMPED ....sd. a monarch of England, Prussia, Spain, or France, would inevitably goad the people into a violent re volution. But in this city despotism seems to be taken as a matter of course. Nothing is strange, nothing is unusual, nothing is unconstitutional, nothing is wicked to people who are prospering upon the war, and have set their minds upon fat contracts. Neither is anything strange cr uncon stitutional to the zealots and bigots of the Republi can party, or to the manufacturers of New England and Pennsylvania, who thrive upon the new tariff which is ruining the country. In the eyes of all these people nothing is objectionable that tends to perpetuate this miserable strife, and liberty, hap piness, and the best hopes of this and succeeding generations are all sacrificed without exciting their alarm or disapprobation. When Mr.Vallandigharn, Mr. Pendleton, Mr. Cox,or other leading Democrats denounce with fiery eloquence the wrong that has been done , the galleries make no sign, and when these gentlemen defend the Constitution and the law, and urge that under no circumstances ought they to be abrogated, a hiss spreads among the geese who have got into the Capitol, which Mr. Galuaha Grow, the Speaker, mildly reprobates. He threatens to clear the galleries, but does not carry the threat into execution, and the interrup tions continue as before. The scene recalls to mind the sittings of the Jacobins in the French Revolu tion. Robespierre is lord of the ascendant. The people applaud him and his followers only, and rea son, justice, and law are not to be tolerated. The week will be a memorable one in the annals of America. It has sealed the doom of the liberties of the North unless there shall occur in due time a counter revolution to restore a Constitutional Go vernment. Three extreme measures have been passed, and were intended to make Mr. Lincoln Dictator, and have accomplished their purpose. By the first he is authorised to suspend the operation of the law of habeas corpus whensoever he shall deem fit, expedient, or necessary. He or his secre taries may cause to be imprisoned and kept in pri son, without trial, for an indefinite length of time, any person, high or low, in any of the States of the Union. He may order a military force to seize the Governor of New York or Connecticut, or any other sovereign commonwealth. He may arrest and hold in Forts Lafayette, Warren, or Mllenry, the members of any Legislature whose proceedings he may adjudge to be treasonable or dangerous. He may seize a judge upon the judgment-seat, and carry him off to prison, as his secretaries did Judge Carmichael, of Maryland, and hold him there as a common malefactor, without specifying the offence committed. He may silence any tongue, or pen, or printing press in the country, and no judge or jury shall question the legality of his act. It is true that the Secretary of State and the Secretary of War " are directed to furnish to the judges, as soon as may be practicable, the names of the persons ar rested, that they may be presented to the grand jury for indictment;" but the President and his secretaries are alone to decide on the "practicability" of such a step ; and if they are of opinion that it is unwire or unsafe to liberate or bring to trial any such prisoners during the two remaining years of the Presidential term, there is nothing in the act of Congress to cora pel them to make an earlier decision. This proviso, therefore, counts for nothing. And in order that the President may have the power to carry this gigantic tyranny into effect, and become de facto the strongest despot in the world, Congress has passed a Conscription Act, which calls out, at the discre tion of the President as to members the whole able bodied male population of the country between the ages of 18 and 45. The first call of 600,000 men is to be made, with what success will not be known until after the 10th of July, when the Act comes into operation. The Democratic party was power less to defeat the measure. It was so obviously necessary that the Government should have the means of recruiting its fast disappearing armies— which in two months will be reduced to one-half of their actual strength by the expiry of the term of service of the two years and nine months volunteers —that any real opposition would have been con sidered factious. The Democrats, therefore, made up their minds to accept the measure and propose two important, though not essential amendments. The framer of the bill had, in a parenthetical pro viso, given power to the Provost-Marshal to arrest " all persons suspected of treasonable practices." In order that there might be no mistake, Messrs. Val landigbam, Vortices, Cox, and other Democrats, supported the omission of the words and the restric tion of the powers of the Provost Marshal to the conscripts to be enrolled under the Act. After a spirited debate, in which the galleries for the first time during the Session applauded a Democratic speaker for asserting the liberties of his country against the encroachments of irresponsible military power, the amendment was carried. Another amend ment, to insert the word " white" before the words " male able-bodied citizens" was rejected ; so that under the new Conscript Law the negroes will be liable to serve side by side with the white race b the future armies of the Republic. Should this lead to difficulty the President has the remedy in his own hands, and has simply to order the enrolment officers not to call upon the negroes for military duty, to obviate the danger of mutiny among the whites that might otherwise result. There needed but one other measure to complete the charmed circle of Imperialism, and that was provided by the Currency and Banking Acts of Mr. Secretary Chase, which, after a series of amendments and reconsideration in both Houses, and a Committeee of Conference of the two, have been finally passed. In one way or the other, by loan, and by the issue of greenbacks the Govern ment is authorised to issue about 1,100,000,000 dols., a sum that, before the rise in gold, would have represented about £220,000,000 sterling ; but that, with gold at 72 per cent. premium, only represents about £137,000,000. Mr. Chase has also carried his favourite projects of taxing the existing banks upon their circulation, and of introducing a uniform Federal currency of greenbacks that are not to be taxed. These are stupendous measures. The three form a perfect unity, solid, substantial, and artisti cally dovetailed one into the other. Were Mr. Lincoln a man of genius, a great soldier, an astute and far-seeing diplomatist, or an ambitious and de signing intriguer, having the will to make himself King, Emperor, Czar, hereditary President, Lord Protector, or anything else, they would afford him the means of putting a speedy and ignominous end to the Republic. But these powers have not been given to him for such purposes. The Republican party know their man, and think that they can trust him. Neither have they been conferred upon him in order that he may more effectually carry on the war for the subjugation of the South. He is no more the man for that purpose than he is the man of whom to make an emperor. In this respect, too, the Republicans know him and have taken the measure of his capacity. The restoration of the Union is felt to be impossible, not only by the Pre sident, but by every prominent man in public life. Both the Union and the Constitution upon which it was founded are defunct. The Southern Congress destroyed the Union ; the Northern Congress has destroyed the Constitution. The revolution has completed its first cycle. North and South are two for evermore, and are as incapable for the future of being united under one Government as England and France or Ireland and Italy. NEW , March 3. The legal term of Congress expi YoRK res to-morrow at 12 - o'clock. It dies a quiet death—a fate that at one time seemed improbable, having done its best or -ill worst to destroy the liberties of the people by whom it was elected, and to leave to its successor a legacy of doubt, p er pl ex ity, an d d anger . Th e Pre sident, needing the assistance of the Senate to con firm some of the decrees which he may think it necessary to issue, and some of the appointme nts of Brigadier-Generals and Foreign M i nisters which he may deem it expedient to make d uring the nes t few weeks, has called an extra sess ion . of tha t . body, to assemble immediately on the expiry of its . pre sent. term. In other words, its ordinary session is at an end at 12 o'clock to-morrow, and its extraor dinary session is to commence the moment after wards. A flagrant act of tyranny and unconstitu tionality has signalised its last moments. On the bill granting an indemnity to the President and his Ministers for all the arbitrary acts of the last year having been brought forward, Mr. Bayard, of De laware, one of the ablest and least passionate mem bers of the house, spoke earnestly against it, Ihe discussion lasted till half-past 4in the morning, when a motion Wa s made to adjourn. The motion was not carried, and Mr. Bayard attempted to re sume his speech. The chairman, Mr. Ponl:roy, of Kansas, culled 11;m to order, declaring that the bill was no longer before the house, and had been car ried. The shameful attempt t o extort a party triumph exc ites both alarm and dis gust , an d one o f the Democratic journals of thi s even i ng d ec l ares the republic to be virtually at an end in conse• quence.

New York exhibits no outward signs of the war and desolation that afflict the land. Washington, on the contrary, betrays them at every turn. The long straggling Avenues, planned in a spirit of mag nificence, but so meanly executed, swarm with sol diers, camp followers, forage waggons, ambulances, and all the aids, instruments, and paraphernalia of strife. Thousands of young men, in gray -blue uniforms, swagger about the streecs or lounge at the doors of the hotels, with the fresh jauntiness of the inexperience that has never yet confronted a foe ; while mingled among them, at intervals pain fully frequent, are to be seen the luckless veterans of the struggle—the men who can fight no more, the maimed and mutilated victims of " glory" and " patriotism," limping along on crutches, and turn ing their sunken eyes towards the by-passers with a piteous expression of countenance, as if to crave the sympathy of all who are still in the enjoyment of their limbs and faculties. The mud in all the main Avenues is ankle-deep, for there has been a heavy fall of snow, six inches thick, that only lay one day upin the ground before it began to yield to the fervid rays of a summer-like sun and the breath of a wind as warm, if not as balmy, as that of an Eng lish June. Through the rivers and lakes of slush pass and repass at all hours of the day and night immense droves of cattle, as many as 4,000 or 5,000 at a time, some going into Virginia for the use of the Army of the Potomac, and some destined for the consumption of the 60,000 men retained for the de fence of the capital, together with an almost con tinuous procession of supply and forage waggons, each drawn by six mules, and driven by a negro or an Irish teamster, shouting and swearing as he goes. On any ordinary roads in England or in Europe, two mules would be amply sufficient for any vehi cle of the kind, however heavily laden, but in the deep, greasy, tenacious mud of this region, six are none too many for the task they have to perform. Never, perhaps, in any city of the world was so much horse and mule flesh to be seen as in Washington at this moment, and such miserable horseflesh never before enriched a mob of contractors or impoverished a nation. The soldiers are for the most part as rough and shaggy as the mules. Raw lads of 18 and 20 form the bulk of the army that defends Washington against the immi nent aggression of General Lee. These youths revel and riot in their premature manhood, and exhibit their exuberant strength and insolence in drunken and other orgies that seem to have no limits but their purses. To inveigle the " greenbacks" out of their pockets and those of their officers a whole army of brazen courtesans and " painted Jezebels" has invaded the city, who ply their trade by adver tisement in the newspapers and by public exhibition in the streets after a fashion so gross that it would shame even the Haymarket. The places where they have congregated have received the name new to American slang, and peculiar to Washington, of " Ranches," a word that in Texas signifies an en closure for cattle. The " Ranches" of Madame This or That are as openly conducted as the hotels or boarding-houses, and the Provost Marshal and his officials make little or no effort to interfere with them. At every street, corner, and place of public resort are to be seen printed notices, warning simple-minded strangers against the multitudinous thieves who have congregrated here from all parts of the world. In those " howling caravanserais" the leading hotels, where the utmost possible discomfort is paid for at the highest possible price, and where the bad cookery and the bad wine are only equalled by the bad accommodation and the bad attendance, are posted up at every angle of the vestibules, cor ridors, and reception rooms conspicuous warnings against the hotel thieves who have come hither from England and France, as well as from New York, to break into ladies' bedrooms at the dinner hour and decamp with their jewelry. Three days ago one of them succeeded in making off with the money and private papers of Mr. Ex-Secretary Cameron, while that unsuspecting diplomatist was quietly dining at Willard's. Another class of thieves, not so designated in polite society, but worthy of the name—the people who sell the Government rotten and unworthy steamboats for the con veyance of troops and stores; shoes for the army, that wear out in one day's march ; and shoddy gar ments, nether and upper, that rot like blotting paper in a shower of rain ; the " respectable" people who plunder under form of law and with the decent ob servances of trade, feed daily at Willard's and other public places, and make themselves conspicuous by the magnums of claret and champagne which they consume, and by the general loudness of their talk and behaviour. Then there are the " wire-pullers" and " log-rollers ;" that is to say, men who have schemes before Congress, and who " engineer" their bills through both houses by the vulgarest agencies of dinner and drink, as well as by other means not so visible to spectators, though perhaps more satis factory to such members of the Legislature as are neither too honest nor too proud to be purchased. But the roguery and rascality of Washington are equalled by its misery. There are estimated to be no less than 40,000 sick, wounded, and mutilated soldiers within the district of Columbia, receiving such poor relief and consolation as circumstances will allow, not one twentieth part of whom will ever again be in a condition to fight the battles of the North. In addition to these are the negroes, or "contrabands," as they are called in the slang which General Butler originated and made popular, who have escaped from Maryland and Virginia into the Federal lines, and are maintained by the Government at a heavy cost. Many of these poor creatures are able-bodied men, for whom no work is to be found even as teamsters—an occupation for which they are well fitted ; but a large proportion are aged and infirm persons and young children. All of them are huddled together in wretched shanties at a remote corner of the town. Smallpox is making fearful havoc among them, and thence extending its ravages among the white population. Washington, though an immense city upon the map, is not sufficiently built up to accommodate the 250,000 people who have been drawn within its focus by the necessities of the war and the Govern ment. Its drainage is so miserably defective that the wonder ought to be that it has not long ago been the theatre of pestilence as well as of war, and thus suffered the second as well as the first scourge of humanity. Add to this that at the hotels accommodation is scarcely to be had—that travellers are often com pelled to sleep six in a room; that everything to eat, drink, or wear is as dear as it is bad, and some idea may be formed of the outward aspects of the national capital in this closing week of the 37th Congress. Congress itself offers an animated scene as its term draws to an end. The galleries of the House of Representatives, which are capable of ac commodating about 800 or 1,000 spectators, are daily and nightly filled with attentive audiences of men and women, who loudly express their dissent or assent to the utterances of the representatives below. The sympathy of this crowd seems to go almost entirely with the Republicans and Extermi nators. They applaud every encroachment upon the liberties of the people which is proposed by Mr. Thaddeus Stevens—the dreary Robespiere who rules in that assembly—and justify every unusual and unconstitutional power which is vested in the President. The fact may perhaps be explained by another fact, which is that the resident public of Washington is a public of officials and hangers-on of the Government, and that large numbers of strangers from every part of the Union are here in triguing for places and contracts, and that these classes would cheer Mr. Jefferson Davis as lustily as they cheer Mr. Lincoln if the fortune of war should instal the Southern President in the White House and place the destinies of the North at his disposal. The debates during the week have been animated and interesting, but all the fire and elo quence have come from the Democratic side of the house. The Republicans have not an orator among them. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, who by virtue of that position is the Ministerial leader, is clear headed, methodical, and logical ; but he drawls and drones, and is utterly without animation of manner or elegance of diction. He speaks like a cold and callous theorist, who would carry out, if he could, his idea of Southern extermination with as little compunction as he would erase a wrong word in a sentence. This gentleman, an attorney from Pennsylvania, is only ardent in one in h he hasa cause— t ne tha N t o o r f th t e h r e n a p b e o o l i p ti le on in of h t i v n e g ry n , o a a n i d i d p l i a ff t e n r; s t y o In the t negroes a t s he a m r c w e . h O h n h et the eas contrary, prove d man ner quite unusual among Northern white men, espe cially when, like him, they have passed the middle age. The other members of his party who address the House may be less wearisome, but they are not more eloquent than their leader. They are simply dictatorial and offensive ; they sneer at the writ of habeas corpus, as if it were some new fangled notion, invented for no other purpose than to impede the prosecution of the war, and with scarcely the form or show of debate they vote into the hands of the President powers which if proposed to be given to (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) I If London was jubilant last week over the Royal nuptials, ' 1 Liverpool, when I reached it, seemed in a besotted state of frenzy, and the crowds in the streets at night were, without exception, the most brutal and the most obscene ever let loose from' purlieu and kennel. They seemed to have un • disturbed possession of the highway, and to have blockaded the respectable inhabitants within doors. Their manner of doing honour to the auspicious occasion was to crowd the gin palaces till half drunk, and then stagger on to the pave ment, uttering all things foul and abominable. How diffe rent from the great metropolis which I had just quitted. There, despite the masses which filled the streets, all was good humour, with a keen sense of enjoyment and harmless chaff. Let others, however, whose more immediate pro vince it is, tell us why there should be such a marked differ ence in the character of the populations of two such im portant cities. Notwithstanding the bad odour attaching to the Liverpool Steeplechase of recent years, there is no denying the fact that on the present anniversary it created a great deal of interest, and even excitement. Your contemporaries, in condemning the robberies and " milkings" connected with the chase, should not forget that, after all, it still has a place in the affections of the people, and that last week it produced as beautiful a race as was ever witnessed, although, of course, the distance by which Emblem won deprived it of any great excitement at the finish. Still, gentlemen who love sport for itself, cannot but regret to see this race degraded year by year into a medium of speculation for "legs" and sharpers. It is very singular, however, that the public are annually vic timised, and that they still insist upon throwing their money into the mat ket, and filling the pockets of a gang of play men and hell-keepers, or people with, at all events, no higher moral tone. I for oue must confess that nothing would give me greater satisfaction than to hear that the Liverpool Steeplechase was altogether reformed or sup pressed, as it stands a blot and a disgrace to British sport. As for Mr. Topham, he cares not one jot for the repeated admonitions of the press, and looks with a har dened contempt upon the propositions of those who have the interest and wellbeing of the sport at heart. The race of last Wednesday was no more a grand national display than a donkey race on Blackheath. I felt that the event had descended to its lowest stage when such a wretched " hair-trunk" as Real Jam was brought out as a fit companion for cross-country horses. Taken altogether, the sport was, with one or two exceptions, ex tremely poor, and there was no event likely to have much influence on the future, On Tuesday old Leontes com menced the series of successes which he carried on through the meeting, and caused a general feeling of irritation among owners of horses, inasmuch as he is the property of Mr. William Topham, son of the clerk of the course and handicapper, and their persistence in running him was a delicious piece of impudence, and a further evidence of the disregard paid to general interests at Liverpool. At the Autumn meeting Mr. Topham, senior's, horse, Gardener, had it all his own way, and I am at a loss to conceive what fresh " crock" Messrs. Topham will get for this next meet ing, to keep the handicaps in the family. The allusions to these matters were anything but complimentary, and the jockeys were especially sarcastic, one of the light weights bitterlyremarking that he wondered there was not a "little Topham or two that they might be their ownjockeys as well as handicappers I" The Tyro Stakes gave us the first rattling finish et the season, as there were three heads, and only a neck with the fourth. Mr. Merry's Bonne et Belle was made a good favourite, and, I am told, greatly disappointed the stable, as they had tried her at home the best of the young ones. Lord Zetland was also greatly fancied by Wadlow's people, who had sent a commission to London to back him. Hypatia, the winner, is a small speedy filly, and a sister to Diophantus, but is too small ever to do Lord Stamford much credit. In the Spring Cup William Day gave us another taste of the form of his stable, by the suc cess of Tolurno, who, having won his trial with Manrico, was backed by "Lord Frederick" for a "lump," and con sequently became a great favourite. Bohemia, who has not grown an inch since last season, never figured in the race, which caused some illogical disbelievers in the Derby favourite to ask, " What do you think of Lord Clifden now ?" They seemed to forget that he was a sluggish horse, who would have made a race with a donkey, and to overlook his cantering away from such an unquestionably good filly as The Orphan at the Epsom Spring meeting. Bohemia's running bad had a depre , sing effect upon Saccha rometer's position, both for the Two ' housand and Derby, as your readers will not fail to have noticed by his decline in the betting. In reality it no more affects him than any other horse in England, except that the layers fancy that, consequently, Lord Strathmore's stable is out of form. The Grand National, as usual, brought an immense concourse of people to Aintree, and at last even those who pretended to be disgustei with the very name of the race were roused to a pitch of excitement. Jealousy became a great favourite at the close, and Mr. Justice, like all young enthusiasts, walked at her head as she entered the ring, as proud as if he were leading a Derby favourite in the pad dock at Epsom. His confident expression was almost dis spiriting to c,mtemplate, for old stagers like myself know how soon his day-dream of victory might be dispelled, and the .4.700 for which he had backed her fell into the hands of the bookmakers. No mare in England could look better, although it struck me she had lost a good deal of the quality she once showed. The race was very pretty, and when Emblem was seen to have everything " safe " there was a roar of satisfaction from those fortunate to be on. When George Stevens brought her back to weigh he was received with a burst of cheering which he well deserves, for it is well known that he will not do any of the ordinary dirty work, even for his own stable, and an owner who wants one " stopped " knows that it is no use applying in that quarter. With all the rigging in the market, the "legs" were all sorely discomfited, for the second and third, as well as the winner, were ridden by jockeys not to be "squared," and Mr. Goodman, who rode Arbury, is literally what his name indicates. Jealousy's ignominious defeat seemed to astound his young owner, as his mortification was quite painful to witness. Emblem looked surprisingly small and narrow for such an ordeal, but to my eye she was the only one of the lot really trained, for I never saw an animal so literally trained down to bone, sinew, and muscles. I was fortunatein having Emblem as one of my two selected ones in your paper of last Monday evening, and that I made very little error about The Dane, is proved by the manner in which he ran at Shrewsbury on Friday. In a race where so much chicanery existed, I o l s a h n o d u I t d h o b w e i q n u n i e t e r c w o a n s t en a l t m h o a s d t be g y o o t n s d o m in e w y h e a x t p n e c e t e a r t i ; b n t a t l though, as I told your readers that, in the face of her per formances, I could not see what there was to beat Lord Coventry's mare, besides recommending Arbury, the second, to be "held harmless." Death has taken from us one of the most remarkable men of the sporting world, for a man who, like John Gully, had fought his way to the position of Champion of England, been a butcher, a publican, a member of Parliament, the owner of two winners of the Derby, and a winner of the Oaks, and made himself almost a millionaire, must fill the most conspicuous place in Turf History. Mr. Gully was 80 at the time of his death, and Lad never sullied his hand or his heart by a dishonourable act. In Parliament he was, of course, a prominent figure, but no legislator, and from the effect of late hours upon his health resign d alter two sessions in the first Reform Par liaments. It would fill more space than you could spare, were I to expatiate upon the career of this very remarkable man, but his name will ever be mentioned with honour in the sporting world. He leaves a widow and ten children, five sons and five daughters, one of whom is the wife of Mr. Pedlev, the owner of Cossack, and a second of Captain Bastard of the Royal Artillery. One of his sons was murdered in China, and all the surviving sons are gentle men of position and promise, The present week will be occupied with the Doncaster and Warwick Spring Meet ings, but as the first day of the Northern gathering will be over before this will reach the majority of your readers, my anticipatory remarks will be confined to Warwick. Mr, Henry's meeting takes place on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the programme being very promising, • co mmensura t a e nd T l he h T av r e ial li s tt t l a e kes do h u a lo s t a t c h a e pit s a p l or e t nt w ry il , l th b e e weights, with penalties and allowances, being as - under : Yr st lb Yr st lb 3 7 0 Twilight o r w o ih t .. . .. . .. 55_ 9 4 2 K Le in M g a o r f ec U h t a o l pia . 9 2 Sea King 3 6 11 5 9 2 Datura Fairwater ........ a l iggh Patrick Arbury last week, as we saw, s atisfactorily, he must now Ath ers tone showed himself las t season to abnedonheavofintghetbrieesdt horses in England over this distance, e in am f O r n m g ' th an e be on Neither e t r ro L u e bl; i se a rn re e . to show, but the 3 yr chal nor King of Utopia are likely and will Twilight. in findhis the City an d S u b ur b an b y t h e d run ken "helper," may put old, S ea Ki ng, so ki n dl y recommended to Mr. Arnold for in an appearance, but with no chance of defeating Ather stone, unless as good as his prophet declared, The Wil loughby Handicap has five left in, and if Duleibella should be brought out sbe will win, but if reserved, Loiterer may be safely reckoned upon. The Five Furlong Handicap should fall to Margery or Ellerton. In the Match I prefer Pip to Paddy from Cork. On Thursday there are seven races, the chief events being the Great IV arwickshire Handicap and the Two-Year-Old Stakes. In the last-mentioned Vates, Starbeam, Whitefield, Lady di Vergy, Coimbra, the Merry Sunshine's dam filly, Lady Nichol, and Faith, who have already performed in public, are engaged. Lady Nichol has incurred 41b penalty for winning at Nottingham, but the three furlongs is so directly suited to her speediness that I fully anticipate her success.

Clay for the post of Ambassador to St. Petersburg, in succession to Mr. Simon Cameron, this fact may serve to explain the ill-feeling on the part of the amateur soldier and diplomatist, whose solo aims and ends in life, beyond his own personal advancement, appear to be the liberation of the slaves of the South—even at the cost of a servile war—and the severance of the connection between Great Britain and Ireland.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The concluding trials were made on Saturday in Chatham dockyard for the purpose of testing the rudder-head of the Royal Oak, 34, iron-plated frigate, in continuation of those made some days previously. The pressure used on this occasion was rather more than six tons, at which strain no flaw could be discovered in the rudder-head. At the con clusion of the trials it did not appear to be in the least sprung. Arrangements are being made for undockisg the Royal Oak on Thursday, when she will proceed to Folly Point, where she will complete fitting for sea, the depth of water in Chatham harbour being insufficient for vessels of the Royal Oak class to prevent their grounding and conse quent straining. The Hector, 32, iron frigate, which arrived at Spithead on Sunday from the Clyde, went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday and berthed alongside the dockyard, where she will be at once taken in hand to fit out for commission. It is stated that the officers and crew of the Defence, iron fri gate, will be turned over to her. The Hector left the Clyde on Thursday last, at 7 p.m., in company with her Majesty's steam-tug Geyser, being in charge of Capt. Ewen for the contractors, Messrs. R. Napier and Sons, of Glasgow, and having on board stokers and seamen from her Majesty's ships Hogue and Geyser. She was fitted with the iron lower masts which had been built for her by Messrs. Napier, and these were fitted with wire rigging, trysail, masts, and sails, &c., from Portsmouth dockyard. Owing to the in correct working of the Hector's compasses at starting her pace had to be regulated by that of the Geyser, up to 2 p.m. on Friday. After that time the Hector made her own course, and by 4 p.m. the Geyser was out of sight astern. At 430 p.m. on Saturday the ship was abreast of the Lizard, and having experienced tremendous weather from the Tuskas, with the wind at W.N.W. Spithead was reached, and the ship's anchor dropped, on the conclusion of her first voyage, at 9 a.m. on Sunday. The ship is said to have worked remarkably well, and rode the seas as easily as any wooden ship could be expected to have done in similar weather. At one time, off the Lizard, a consi derable body of water was on the main deck, which it was impossible for the time to get rid of. On examining the arrangement of the scuppers and sewer pipes the cause of this is, however, at once evident. The sewer pipes, which pass underneath the beam-ends and knees which support the main deck, run nearly the whole length of the ship, and discharge their contents at the extreme ends. As a natural result of this arrangement when the ship pitches and rolls more than is usual the water by its own gravity rushes from end to end of the sewer pipe and causes a dead lock. This must be remedied before the ship can go to sea, The getting adrift of the spare screw blade on the forecastle was the only other accident of the voyage, which may be considered highly creditable for the ship and engines. The hull, en gines, and iron lower masts have all been constructed by Messrs. Napier. The hull is on the principle of the War rior and other iron ships, with the exception that the Hect , ilr has a heavy bulkhead, or shield, covered witAilisittfii• armour plates, fixed across her bows from her lower deck to a level with her bulwarks. This is of semicirclar form and is intended to receive the fire of a fort, or that of an enemy's broadside of gnus, when using the fleeter as a ram. Her armour plating is also continued from the point at which the Warrior now carries her armour plating as a belt round her line of gun ports, bow and stein, with additional plating over her outer stern post and rudder head, The majority of her armour plates are rolled, and are from the manufac tories of Messrs. Brown, Sheffield, Messrs. Beall, Parkgate, and Messrs. Rigley, Parkhead. Further details regsrdiug her hull we must reserve until another opportunity. ILL general appearance outside she is fully as ungraceful in out line alongside the dockyard as she was when lying off in the distance at Spithead. As an iron ship of war the peculiari ties which render her ugly claim to be her chief recommen dations. The engines have cylinders of S2in, diameter and a stroke of 4ft. The screw is a Griffiths of 20ft. diameter and 20ft. Gin. pitch. At the back of each cylinder is fitted a small auxiliary engine for strarting and stopping the en gines, in addition to the ordinary wheel and hand gear, and all is so simply and efficiently arranged that two men, one at each auxiliary, have perfect control over the engines, the action at the same time being almost instantaneous. The castings are excellent, and every part is massive, well finished, and simple in arrangement. The screw alley is unusually lofty and roomy, and the disconnecting and other arrangements of the shafting have been fitted with great care and strength. The stokehole has six boilers—three on each side. The highest temperature reached here during the voyage round from Greenock was 85 deg. The means of ventilation appear to be very good, although no patented plans have been applied. The funnel casing is well open on the upper deck, and a square shaft, fitted to hoist out ashes, no doubt contributes in the main to this excellent re sult, the former acting as an up and the latter as a down cast air-shaft. Above the boilers is fixed a email auxiliary engine, which hoists out the ashes from the stokehole. An auxiliary engine of 40-horse power is also being fitted on board to work the fire-engines, capstans, &c. There are two points, however, in connexion with the Hector which, if viewed in a proper light, may prove instructive to Admi ralty economists. 1. Tho Geyser left Portsmouth and Plymouth for Greenock with some half ton of stores on board, while the heavy wire rigging, sails, &c., for the Hector followed the Geyser by rail. 2. The official de signers of the ship knew so little of what was wanted in the form of the ship's stern that she was built with a well. The peculiar,s shaped form of the ship's stern, however, would not allow of the ship being steered otherwise than by a straight tiller, a reversion to the old sailing line-of-battle ship system. The well thus became useless, and is therefore now filled in with an Iron tank, which will make a capital storeroom. Its position has, however, unfortunately, greatly added to the overhanging weight and weakness of the ship's stern. In the peculiar form of stern possessed by the Hec tor she will be equalled by the Royal Alfred, and probably excelled in ugliness by the turret ship Royal Sovereign. The Osborne yacht, Master-Commander Bower, returned to Portsmouth yesterday from Antwerp. The paddlewheel steam vessel Kite, Master-Commander Bowden, was yesterday hauled into basin at Woolwich to be surveyed and condemned. She was brought up the river by the Medusa, her own machinery having become disabled soon after sailing from Bermuda harbour. From the length ened period of her service—stated to be upwards of 15 years —her boilers had become corroded to the consistency of paper, and the boiling water was constantly escaping. Th e 'water Weir, and everything serviceable for patching up the decayed boilers, were cut up and applied for that purpose. On a preliminary survey being made yesterday, it was stated that the rotten and decayed state of the timbers ap parent throughout the ship rendered it a marvel that she lived out the voyage in safety. Both the paddleboxes were partly carried away, the bulwarks swept out, the leather packing of the machinery worn off, and the vessel a com pleteTh ew iron-plated lated screw steam frigate 'Warrior, 40, Captain the Hon.
