A LIBERAL MINDED RECTOR,—On Monday the
children of the Cobridge. Catholic school had their
annual treat. They marched in procession, with flags and
banners, through Burslem, back to Cobridge, and then to a
field engaged for the purpose on the Birches Head Farm,
where they were provided with tea and buns, Zee. Some of
the friends of the scholars had procured the services of the
band of the Burslem Rifle Volunteers, who headed the
scholars in their march. While passing through Burslem,
we are informed that the procession was met by the Rev.
Dr Armstrong, the rector, who ordered the volunteer band
to leave it, alleging that he would not permit them to join
in the procession of a Roman Catholic school. The band
refused to obey the rev. doctor's order, and accompanied the
children to the field. It appears that Dr Armstrong then
went to the commanding officer of the Bur3lem Rifle Corps,
Captain Twigg, and induced him to give an order for the
band to return. This order was net, however, communi-
cated to the band until eight o'clock in the evening. The
Rev. Mr Leith and the scholars had been left the field, and
the band was engaged in playing for some of the friends of
the scholars, who were amusing themselves with a dance.
It is presumed that some misunderstanding occurred, as
the band did not obey the order to return. We regret to
state that this disobedience of orders has led to some serious
unpleasantness, and that the ma:deers of the band have
been required to send in their instruLetents and clothing .
We understand that a court of inquiry is to be held upon
the subject.—Stallordshlre Seneinel.
THE ARRESTS DURING THE BELFAST 2. roTs•—
As we have already announced, 176 people were
wounded and nine killed during the recent riots, which
lasted for 14 days. There were in Belfast, including
military and constabulary, a force of 4,000 armed men, and
the number of arrests made of those in gaol awaiting their
trial was exactly 50—the great majority of whom are charged
with no more serious offence than having arms in their
possession in a proclaimed district. Probably the greater
number of the accused will also be charged with riot, but
it seems a complete legal farce that only 50 should be in
custody for a fortnight's rioting, when in any half hour
during that time ten times that number might have been
lawfully arrested if the authorities had only done their
duty.—Northern Whig.
DESTRUCTION OF FEDERAL SHIPS BY CONFEDE-
RATE CRUlSERS.—Yesterday intelligence was re-
ceived at Lloyd s, under date New York, August 27, that
two more Confederate cruisers had evaded the Federal war
steamers and successfully run out of the harbour of Wil-
mington, and since then had destroyed no less than 33 Fede-
ral merchantmen. The Tallahassee has eluded all the efforts
of the Federal gunboats to overhaul her since she ran out
of the harbour of Halifax, N.S., and on the 23d of August
destroyed no less than 25 Federal coasting ships and vessels
on their homeward voyage from Europe, many laden with
valuable cargoes. All this destruction was effected off the
coast of the State of Maine. The Federal mercantile marine,
and the coasting trade especially, is completely paralysed
by these daring exploits of the Confederate cruisers. The
Federal gunboats have hitherto been foiled, as the com-
manders of the Confederate cruisers will not risk an en-
gagement, their only object being the destruction of pro-
perty, and not fighting.
The smallest potty in the world is owned by John
S. Rarey of Ohio. It is only 20 inches high, and weighs
`wily 211 b.

Not a transaction worth recording took place yesterday.
Favourites and non-favourites remained in statu quo, and
there was nothing to indicate,that the decision for the great
Northern event was now only a question of hours. Never
do we remember such apathy in the market.
A very fine race for the 'Welter Cup between Principal
and Moulsey resulted in favour of the non-favourite Moul-
sey, Principal starting with odds on him, but failing in the
last few strides, and being defeated by a head. The Clown
walked away from the once dreaded Paris in the Five Sov.
Sweepstakes in the hollowest of styles, and the Nursery
Handicap was productive of one of those tedious delays at
the post that seem to be accepted for the normal state of
things, as the phrase goes, in races of this description. The
favourite, Verdant, a very good-looking colt of Mr Hodg-
man's, was bowie 1 over by Hotly, an outsider of Mr
Payne's, who won very easily.
Gamma, looking in the perfection of bloom and condition,
carried off the County Handicap easily, though damaging
her chance in the last few strides by en attempt to savage"
her antagon'st Soapstone, At last Lord St.-Vincent has been
smiled upon by fortune and allowed •to w:n something.
East Lancashire disposed of his small field for the Cup very
easily, winning by eight lengths, which might easily have
been made 18. The prize is a hondsome group in oxydiscd
silver, commemorating en historical incident in the War-
.wickshire family of the Shuckburghs.
The other events call for no particular comment.
The rain did not seem to have much effect on the attend-
ance, which was fully equal to that of the day before.,
Lord St. Vincent has purchased Claxton, it is said, for
1,200 guineas.

After a delay of upwards of half an hour at the post, oc-
casioned by the restiveness of Tilt, Trapeze, and Cedric,
who repeatedly broke away, when the flag was lowered
Vigilant, with Trapeze, Doeford, Verdant, and Cedric, got
away in advance, and made the running, followed by Hetty
and Jevington, Camillus and Spring Gun lying upwards of
20 lengths in their rear. On reaching the half-mile post
Trapeze took a clear lead, Hetty, in company with Mr
Wodson's colt, at the same time joined the leaders, who ran
in a body to the turn into the straight, where Vigilant, Tilt,
and Trapeze ran out, which left Doeford with a slight lead,
followed next the rails Ly Hetty and Cedric on her right to
the enclosure, where the three were joined by Tilt. From
this point a close and interesting race ensued, Hetty getting
her head in advance opposite the stand, and winning very
cleverly at last by a length, Cedric defeating Tilt by a
length for second ; Verdant was fourth, close up, Edin-
burgh fifth, Vigilant sixth, Jevington, and Doeford next.
Tho last two were Camillus and Spring Gun.

followed by Monk and Barter in the order we have given

headed the rear division, lying up. On reaching the dis-
tance post Barter gave way, and Soapstone came on with a
slight lead of the favourite and the Principal, the three
running in close company to the enclosure, where Gemma
came out and appeared to be winning easily, but Soapstone
catching her at the Stand she stopped and attempted to
savage her adversary, end in consequence just won by a
neck, Soapstone defeating the Principal by a length; Bar-
ter was a good fourth, Walloon fifth, and Golden Dust

pair running in company to the three quarters of a Eau,
post, where Fantail was beaten, and dropped into the rear
