latter was pullbd back, and his piece was taken by Ghillie

Callum, followed by the Highflyer dam colt and Despair,

the rear being whipped in by Mouslay. Shortly after enter-
ing the back, Ghillie Callum disappeared from the ad-
vanced position, and was seen slightly advance of De-
spair, the pair as they approached the woad being completely
out of the race. East Lancashire, to th 3 no little surprise
of the backers, considerably improved his lead as they
neared the mile-post, Nemo still holding the second
honours, with Welcome third, Raglan fourth, and close up
with whom were Mr Bennett's colt and Despair. As they
proceeded along the woodside it was evident to all that the
favourite was coming back to his horses and shortly after
the leaders got upon closer terms. Raglan and Highflyer's
dam colt, who had here headed Welcome, came on third
and fourth, Despair and Mr Boweo's colt following
side by side into the distance, when East Lancashire
was beaten, leaving Nemo with a clear lead of Raglan,
who was slightly in advance of the Lewes colt ; but
halfway down the latter was in difficulties, and was passed
by Despair and Welcome, who caught the leaders at the
stand, where Morris came with a rush on Raglan, who
headed Nemo in the last stride, and won a splendid race
out of the fire by a head ; a lace distance between the
second and third. Welcome was fourth, who was half a
length in advance of East Lancashire, the Highflyer colt
was sixth; the other two were beaten off a long way.

Opening of the Northern of Spain Railway,

MADRID, Aug. 20.

At the inauguration of the Northern of Spain
Railway, at San Sebastian, on the 15th inst., M.
Isaac Pereire read the following address to the King
of Spain after the benediction of the locomotives :

" I have the honour to offer the testimony of my
profound gratitude to his Majesty the King of Spain
for having, by his presence at this solemnity of in-
dustry and labour, deigned to testify the high im-
portance which he attaches to the opening of a line
carried through the formidable barriers preventing
the free expansion of the sentiments of two great
nations, the rapid transit of their produce, and the
communication of their ideas and sympathies.
" I welcome the august guest who presides at our
meeting in the name of my compatriots, of whom I
am certain to be the loyal interpreter; and I hail his
visit as a happy sign of the amity between the Soce.
reigns of France and Spain, and a proof of the inti-
mate and loyal alliance of the two countries.

Let us then, before all, unite our respectful accla-
mations in honour of their Majesties the Queen and
King of Spain and the Emperor and Empress of the
French.

" God grant, gentlemen, that we may be able to
destroy all the barriers between the nations, as are
now destroyed those of the Pyrenees, which by
their savage grandeur appeared to defy for ever the
power of man.

" Time and space disappear before the applications
of electricity and steam, before the marvellous re-
sults of credit ; and it can in truth be said, as much
in the physical as in the moral world, that every•
thing gravitates towards a majestic union in whose
bosom every people, assured and fortified in their
course, will see their natural qualities unfold, and
will fulfil with the greatest usefulness the destiny
assigned to their genius by Providence.
" If we congratulate ourselves upon these pacific
conquests, if we glorify ourselves, it is because they
powerfully second the religious tendency of societies
to unite their forces towards a common end.

" On all sides the way is opened by treaties whose
first result will be the free exchange of the various
products with which nature has gifted each country ;
every day, in fact, prepares the new order of things
clearly indicated by the Emperor Napoleon 111.
when he proposed to Europe to substitute the judg-
ment of congresses for the deeds of force, and the
obstruction that only a blind impiety can term the
judgments of God.
" The establishment of railways is the first step
in this fruitful coarse of the future. Until now
everything has been precarious and uncertain, be-
cause no solid and durable alliance existed. Where
nature had placed the greatest material obstacles
to communication between peoples or the treaties
of commerce, those bonds of societies were onerous
and difficult.

" Until now the works uttered by Louis XIV.
have remained in the condition of prophecy. To-day
they are realised, and it has been reserved to the
descendant of that King to consecrate them.
" And in witnessing the celebration under such
august auspices of this inausuration, a sign
of an immense progress for both nations, we better
appreciate the rewardof our efforts and long labours
and in such moments as these the expression of ouit
gratitude ought naturally to elevate itself towards
the throne of the Queen, in whose fortunate reign
public works have received so notable an impetus.
" Your Majesty, our country prepares to receive
you at every step on French soil; your Majesty
will receive tokens of a sincere sympathy towards
your person and towards the,nation of whom you
are the noble representative.
" It will always be joyfully remembered that
your Majesty's journey was made
.by the new line
with which labour has just endowed Spain, sad
each will consider himself happy to repeat after
your Majesty, ' There are now no Pyrenees.'
" Gentlemen—Long live the King of Spain."
The whole assemblage responded by a prolonged
" Viva !" to the cry of M, Pereire.
Excursion trains have been organised to run be-
tween Madrid and Paris from the 21st to the 31st
inst. It aprears that the through journey will be
made in about 36 hours ; the train leaving Madrid
at 4.40 p.m., and reaching Paris at 5.20 a.m. o❑
the third day.

The Capture of the Georgia.

DOVER, Aug. 24.

The Federal steam frigate Niagara brought up
in Dover Roads this morning, having on board
Captain Withycombe, and 33 men belonging to the
screw steamer Georgia, which is the property of a
British merchant resident in Liverpool, and was
captured by the Niagara, while sailing under the
British flag, on Monday, the 15th August, about 20
miles off Lisbon. The capture was made by the
commodore in command of the Niagara on the
ground that the Georgia was formerly a belligerent
ship, and in the service of the Confederate States
as the celebrated cruiser of the same name. It
seems, however, that the Georgia was purchased
some few months ago by Mr E. Bates, a shipowner
of Liverpool, and some nice questions of an inter-
national character will therefore possible arise out
of this proceeding on the part of the Niagara.
The Georgia, it appears, was under orders for
Lisbon, having been chartered by the Portuguese
Government for the purpose of conveying passen-
gas between that place and the African Coast or
the West Indies. She had been regularly fitted
up for this traffic, having accommodation for 30
first class and 20 second class passengers.
There is reason to believe that the American
commodore was informed of the object and
destination of the vessel, and that she had
Veil kept closely watched at Liverpool. This
wag her first voyage under her new ownership, and
her crew had all received a month's pay in advance.
Nothing unusual occurred till she arrived about 20
miles off Lisbon, when the Niagara was seen appa.
rently waiting for her. Capt. Withycombe did not
deviate from his course until brought to with a
couple of shots, fired across his bows. He was
shortly afterwards boarded by an armed boat's crew,
in command of an officer of the Niagara, who re-
quested his attendance before the commodore. He
protested against the insult which had been offered
to the flag under which he was sailing, and in-
sisted that as the Georgia was a British ship, eh.
gaged in legitimate and peaceable traffic, no right
could aist under which his course could be arrested.
Upon getting on board the Niagara the commodore
eNplained that it was his duty to seize the Georgia,
but that he desired to cause Capt.Withycombe and
his crew as little discomfort as possible. The ship's
papers were then taken possession of, and the crew
detained as prisoners till the Niagara reached Dover
when they were landed and conveyed to the Dover
Sailors' Home, where they were kindly received.
From thence they will be forwarded to Liverpool.
The Niagara, which is a magnificent steamer,
resembling a little our own Himalaya, salwed on
bringing Lo in the bay, a compliment which was
returned by 02 e discharge of a salvo of artillery
from the castle batW3les. Soon after landing Capt.
Withycombe and his crew ."he steamed off in the
direction of the Downs,
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 24.
