ENGLISH PEOPLE ABROAD.

(FROM • LOWLDINADVIIT.)

LlinEttNE, SUBDAT.
Happy were the tourists who, leaving London
for Paris one evening last week, were tempted to
stay on the English aide of the Channel fur the
night. Happy in the contrast between their com-
fortable beds and the moist darkness of the dunk,
or stuffy closeness of the cabin they escaped ;
doub:y happy—in a Lucretiau sense—the next day,
on hearing that the gale they shrunk from had de-
layed the starting of the boat from ball-pmt 10
p.m. until 3 in the morning, and that the bold
voyagers who so scornfully derided their desertion
bad passed a miserable night, would miss their
train, and not reach Paris until 6 p.m. ; and triply
and supremely happy in the brisk freshness of their
day passage, and in their companions of the tour.
The tun began at breakfast tune next morning—
facetious iuueudoea its form of development, the
indiscretion of a newly-married couple its cause.
If the infatuated bridegroom, who engaged a second
bedroom for toilet purposes, without assigning that
perfectly valid reason for so doing, could have only
known the injurious suspicious and satirical com-
ments whereof he was the butt, he would surely
have borne himself with lees obtrusive complacency,
nor Lave been quite so demonstrative in his show
of affection. It the fair bride could have known
that she was spoken of in a mixed circle as the
young lady travelling with the gentleman who was
not iu his room when called, the pride of early ma-
tronhood would have been sadly dimmed, and the
happiness of the honeymoon seriously marred.
As it was, they billed and cooed in blissful igno-
rance, and were looked askance at or joked about,
until the Mr. Pry, who is in every circle, took
some means best known to himself of ascertaining
the truth, and the important intelligence passed
from mouth to mouth that " it was all right, and
they were married." It is perfectly natural not to
wish to advertise your recent nuptials to your
fellow-travellers, and a little innocent subterfuge
is confessedly legitimate. That this may be carried
too far, and so recoil upon the heads of the
Strephon and Chloe iunocently using it, this episode
sufficiently proves. There is nu such thing as
aecresy in this world, and it is iutiuitely better to
run the gauntlet of a whole posse of inquisitive
starers, than—under the circumstances described
—to break through the scriptural injunction as to
avoiding the appearance of evil. The " Prince of
Orange" (so styled early in the day by the wit of
the boat), who bas wade himself up to resemble a
convict under quarantine, doesn't think so. Au
evidently worthy and respectable ratepayer, hr
has thrown responsibility to the winds—and
appears, as Joe Gargery did before him,
like a scarecrow in good circumstances, or
a swell-mobsman cursed with colour-blind-
ness—he is not such a very bad fellow when
you talk to him, which makes his outward condition
the inure melancholy. Having hazel eyes, red hair,
face, whiskers, hands, and beard, what could
possess this unfortunate man to attire himself iu a
baize suit of the brightest orange, with travelling
cap to match, to wear buff boots, to smoke a yellow
meerschaum, to carry vivid dogskins iu Lis heavily
ringed au I massive tests, to hang multifarious gilded
coins to his thick watch-chain, and to nut golden
spa:facies upon his bulbous nose 1 This is uut
the costume of a country gentleman or of a
peer upau his travels. It is not, indeed. '
It will not strike with admiration the pitiful ,
foreigners who are shortly to be patronises' ; and
the smothered titters and turned heads you meet,
" Oh, me prince:" every time you stagger across
the boat, no more spring from envy, as you suppose,
than the spurious glitter of your Blistol diamond
proceeds from a real stone. The hooded lady who
is cased iu shining black oilskin from head to foot, •
and who, when limp and flaccid from sea-sickness, 1
is actually touched with a by no means gentle hand
in mistake for a waterproof sack of goods—the
mock Frenchman who in patent leather SIAMS; white
linen gaiters, brown plush hat, and claret
body coat, talks the purest Whitechapel English—
the fat old woman who puts a red handkerchief over
the white-breasted duck adornment of her pork-pie
hat, apparently as an ineffectual preservative against
sea-sickness, sod the young lady with the pink nose
who cautiously loops up her dress before leaning
over the side of the vessel, as if the crowded deck
were a Thames-street for muddiness and a Sahara
for solitude—sill these, I say, are absurd enough, but
they err not so abjectly ridiculous as you, my dear
good Orange. I have listened to your " Lay for
my fern" at breakfast-time, and knew, though
the waiter that you were not calling upon '
an imaginary Dorking to produce eggs for family
use, but were dutifully anxious that your princess
should be provided with the staple without wh:ch
care ail brit is an impoeAibility ; have seen you
assume deafness when addressed in French, and
feebly iterate the last word spolisn with your beefy
band to your pendulous ear; have heard your
groans when laal low with sea-sickness, and your
want of self-control bas caused you to imitate a
pig at the moment of its conversion into pork
with au exactitude before which Herr von Joel's
farmyard palls—seen your gluttuuous struggles for
tit-bits at the Geneva hotel a day or two back, noted
that your want of tolerance when talking of the
people around you is only exceeded by the dense
stupidity with which you misinterpret the com-
monest civilities—and now declare upon my honour
that I consider every French caricature tube under-
coloured, and every foreign skit upon English insu-
larity, eccentricity, and oddness to have been out-
Herokled by you. At home you probably wear
honest black broadcloth, and sell tea and sugar in
white apron, or measure ribbons in a cravat to
match, pay your way, aed don't adulterate more
than your neighbours. What secret sin you have
committed to merit your pitiable abasement now
we will not inqu;se, any more than we will ask
Sandy Macphairsou yonder what induced him to
come abroad for pleasure purposes only. It cannot
be agreeable to peas day after day in mourning
over the extortions of innkeepers, nor does it com-
pensate for having paid heavily for common
articles to hand the bill round a railway carriage
with " Smairtish, ech sirs !" and '• Varra smiirt,
by the Laird'" Sandy did this bravely and
consistently luring the half day he was
my travelling and dinner companion, and I
left bun yeattrday at the Hotel Gibbon
at Lausanne chiding a reckless young Eug-
lishman's—" One great advantage of French
cooking is that it never gives you indigestion, and
you can eat another dinner soon after your
first,"—with " Ah, air, that may be au advonterge
inane seense, but it's not so in a 'tither." The funny
traveller who sees strange affinities in the things
before hisu, and who compares the long, ler:4e-
bowled pipes of the Swiss peasants to that of Myn-
beer von Dunk, the striped dresses of the railway
sipalwoinen to "the fellow who siugs The Cure,"
and their tightly folded red flags to " jolly little
umbrellas by Jove "—to whom the first glimpse of
the Alps is as soul-inspiring as it would be to
a codfish, and who profanely addressed Mr.
Macphairson as "old Scotchie" at the table Whom
has a loudly-expressed contempt fur prudence and
economy, and amused himself by :tinging wens to
delighted railway porters at many of the little
stations we rushed through. He is another speci-
men of the loud-spoken Englishman whose advent
must awaken much respect in the minds of the in-
ferior .ace he deigns to shine upeu. So is that
happy mixture of Lord Dundreary and Hodge the
ploughman, the provincial swell, three of which
genus are bargaining for their ascent up the Righi
before the hotel window at this moment. They in-
dulge in a variety of expletives, which are as
charming in their way as the fu 1-flavoured anec-
dotes of Paris life wherewith they favoured us last
night. But these are mere spots on the noon-day sun.
Very pleasant English people are here in plenty.
At Lausanne yesterday more than one hotsl was
full, and the bright blue lake dotted with boats,
wherein Happy-looking British girls were being
rowed along. At Neuchatel a night or two
back a sudden influx of "Cook's party " swamped
the town, and tables and shake-downs were in re-
quest. A telegram for seventy beds was received
at the principal hotel, and the landlord had to
bestir himself among his fellow hostel-keepers, who,
nothing loth, proceeded to economise space, and to
evolve bedrooms where cupboards had been before.

There was a pretty to-do at the station at
ileveu o'clock that night, when it dawned upon
voyagers who had not telegraphed thit no beds were
to Le obtaino The omnibuses sere besieged, the
potters shouttil at, landlords cajoled, entreated,
almost deified, by unhappy people who were
nIiZiOUS above all things for rest, and who knew at
that hour there was no hope of journeying elsewhere.
by dint of waiting until a large party had finished
supper, and solemnly promising to rise and go out
at six in the morning that another large party
might have an early breekfast, all the unhappy
tourists were at length housed. Room was made
for them iu the Salle it manger, and it was a touch-
ing sight to see two tall blonde swells tossing
for priority of choice between a short and narrow
sofa and a small portable bedstead, which had ex-
hibited a tendency to suddenly shut itself up, to
the confusion of beholders and the detriment of its
occupant's back. It is awkward to be with the
enterprising band of travellers known generally
as " Cooks" unless you are also of them, for by
dint of telegram and letter-writing their contractor
contrives to appropriate so much available accom-
modation that the tourist who is alone, or with one
or two companions, 'stands but a poor chance
when his requirements are brought into
competition with those of 70 or 80 people.
I should mention that the stories of the
weather having broken up in Switzerland and
the English people rushing home by shoals, which I
read in some of your ..ontemporaries before 1 left
London, have not up to this moment been verified
by events. Every day has been unexceptionally
lovely. The sunrises and sunsets have been such
as only Switzerland can produce, and though within '
the last half hour fleecy clouds have settled on the
summits of the Righi and Mount Pilatus,
the sun is shining brightly, well filled
steamers are starting from both sides
the lake, and crowds of gaily dressed
people are promenading the quay. The old covered
bridge with its quaint oil pictures of the Dance of
Death, the churches, both protestant and catholic,
the lion monumen tto the faithful Swiss gnarl, even
the Sunday horse show, where attenuated steeds
(declared by a tourist from Yorkshire to be "every
one of 'em gingered") are trotted up and down by the
lake's side, have all had their quota of eager English
visitors. The little station across the water has
been busy all the morning with arrivals and depar-
tures, and has just received a local brass band play-
ing its loudest, and a crowd of admiring followers
' witbiu its gates. Last night the quay promenade
was full, and you heard a Babel-like variety of lan-
guages from the listeners to the sof t strains proceeding
from the gondola-like boat of the town musicians.
Moon and stars vied with each other in brightness,
the grand outline of the Alpe stood out sharp and
clear against toe spangled sky, and it was not until
long after the lights in the hill-villas round the lake
had been extinguished that the last group of chat-
ting smokers tore themselves away from the banks
of the calm, smooth, glassy expanse at their feet,
and tinned in to dream that Mr. Wm. Beverley's
brightest transformation scene was realised, that
fair water-sprites rose from the lake to join the bril-
liant sisterhood dancing on the snow-capped peaks,
that pour Orange-Baize turned into the god of
beauty, and Sandy Macphaiison into an angel of light.

HEALTH OF LONDON.—The weekly report, pub-
lished by authority of the Registrar-Geneml, states that
the deaths in London, which bed ranged in August above
1,400 weekly, declined to 1,332 in the week that ended last

a oorrection for increase of population, 1,212. But the
actual number returned for last week exhibits an exams of
140 above the number thus estan'tted. Diarrhoea has now
perceptibly decreased ; it rose to its maximum in the first
week of August, when the deaths from it were 286 ; in the
last week of that mouth they were 180, and last week 132.
The mean temperature of the air in the first week of

Mile-end, a sempstress, aged 24 years, died from " effusion
on the chest accelerated by over-work and want of eons-
satin." A painter, aged 34 years, died from fever sad
osiebral disease. nosed by exposure to the sun's
heat when at his work. A woman died of rheumatic
fever, canoed by the damp of • newly built house.
A charwoman died at 111, Tyers-street, Lambeth, on the
Bth September, at the age of 101 years. Lest week the
birth. or 954 boys mid 98.5 girl, in all 1,939 children, were

of the year 1854-63 the average number (corrected) was
1,852. At the Royal Obserratory. Greenwich. the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29'805 in. The
reeding was 29•55 in. on Sunday, and rose to 29'92 in. on
Monday. The mean temperature of the air in the week
was 61'1 deg., which is 31 deg. above the average of
the same week in 43 years (as determined by
Mr. Glaisher). The lowest night temperature was 48.4 deg.
on Tuesday. The highest day temperature was 75.5 deg.
on Thursday. The range of temperature in the week was
therefore 27.1 deg. The mean daily range was 14.4 deg.
The difference between the mean dew-point temperature
and air temperate» wan 7.7 deg. The mean degree of
humidity of the air was 76, complete saturation bring re-
presented by 100. The humidity wee only 60 on Monday,

Thames was 621 ; that of the lowest was 60•4. The births
iinistered in Dublin during Unimak ending September 10
were 152, and the deaths were 99, is a population of 254.808
(in 1861), *tweed over an area of 3,806 statute scree. The
deaths in Vienna, as returned by Dr. Glatt», wen 273 in

FALKIRK TRYST.—MONDAY, SEPT. 12.—This
great annual market began this morning on the usual deuce,
near Larbert Station on the Scottish Central Railway. The
weather was delightfully fine, and there was • numerous ,1
attendance of dealers, fiockmastera, and finnan from all parte
of &indeed and the north of England. The supply of sheep
was considerably less than last year, which is accounted for
by the fact that many holders of stock did not seed forward
their lota, being apprehensive that the market, if at all
crowded, would be • bed one. A few anticipatory par-
ch..., were also made, which no doubt likewise
tended to limit the show. Good ewes were sought
after, and the better lota realised an advance
over lest year's nines of from Si. to 3.. Sales
among the other sorts, include,g intim» of both classes,
ware slowly effected, and a stiffness prevailed throughout.
The opinions refueling prices were somewhat conflicting ;
but, generally speaking, we should say that a slight improve.
meet was established over last year. The prices realised,
, however, were not nearly so good as was expect-A ; hat,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER SEPTEMBER MEETING.

CLEWAT.
Many years have elapsed since the Doncaster Meeting
I and the St. Leger created such vast interest as on the
present anniversary. Although the grand contest of the
week always leads to excitement throughout the country,
I the second meeting of Blair Athol and General Peal, owing
to thermals quartio as to their relative merits, has invested
the encounter with a degree of curiosity that has not bean
I surpassed in the history of this famous ram. The partisans
of the two horses are tolerably equal in their estimate of
the respective merits of their favoiarit•Awhich is indicated by
the closeness of the pair fur eon.e time past in the quota-
tions. The supposition that General Peel will be able to
reverse the running at Epsom is grounded upon the belief
that upon that occasion he was not in perfect condition,
and that, contrary to the orders given, he was allowed to
make running instead of being kept for a final burst within •
shot t distance of the chair, where his noble owner
thought that the fine tuin of speed which the hone pommies
would have enabled him to cut his opponents down. Since
the Derby Blair Athol has not maintained his prestige, and
singularly enough the only two occasions upon which he has
been beaten he has succumbed to animals which, up to that
time, had not even • second clams reputation. The Miner,
front having defeated Blair Athol at a difference of 71b. in
the former's favour, became a great favourite, and he has
crept up and up in the quotations until but a few points
separate him from the two favourites. There has been for
some time past, notwithstanding the immense outlay on
Blair Athol and General Peel, a general impression that an
outsider may possibly beat them both, and weld of
the mooed and third rate performers who would
not have found a single backer • short time
since are now constantly supported, and the possibility
of a repetition of one of thaw surprises which have so fre-
quently startled the racing public this Beeson is by many
confidently anticipated. Tuesday morning was dull and
uninviting, but nevertheless a larger concourse of anxious
spectators was never present on the Town Moor to watch
the hones engaged in the St. Leger. Nearly the whole of
the expected runnel, for the important race were out doing
more or lase exercise. The Miner, as is customary with
John Osborne's stable management, was the earliest gal-
loper, but his unattractive appearance did not please many
of like " honewatchers,” though no exception could be
taken to his style of going. Blair Athol was the lion of
the morning, and led by Caller 0., he took an ethelleat
two wiles gallop. Of the five of John Scott's which slowly
cantered of course Genenl Peel and Baragah commanded all
attention. Between 9 end 10 o'clock slight showers, which
continued throughout the day, commenced, but the down-
fall was not sufficiently heavy to sot ten the bard mond.
The racing which was appointed for half-Past one was de-
layed nearly half an hoar by the summons false starts for
the Fitawillism Slakes, for which sixteen of the twenty
entered went to the post The race resulted in the success
of Adventrrer, whose first appearance it was this season.
Though suppoited by his owner in one bet of 5(0/. to 151.,
several of the bookmakers laid less odds to small amounts
against the winner, which was • good •horse for their Looks
generally. The three succeeding races were in each instance
won by the favourite, but the Great Yorkshire Handicap,
the principal event of the day, wes a great surprise to the
backers of horses, not one of whom backed the winner.
Contrary to precedeut in public ruining, Zam-
besi defeated Garde-tour* and eight others in
the Champagne Stakes. Mr. Sutton's filly having
been amiss caused many of the competitors who were not
considered to have any chance with her on public form to be
backed, and the slither, though generally at 100 to 7, none
instance found a supporter for 501. at 10 to 1. The Filly
Stakes somewhat put the gentlemen in better spirits. Wild
Agues, on whom odds of 5 to 2 were freely laid, won easily.
The St. Leger betting was not of any animated character
until the fielders had had several turn-ups. 900 to 400 is
one bet was accepted about Blair Athol, and 1,100 to 400
was three times taken about General Peel, Mr. Jackson, the
layer, offering to go ou at the same price. With the ex-
oeptioa of the Miner and Baragah nothing else was backed,
as will be seen by thereturn of the ranting as below.
