culated to create great uneasiness among the
friends of the Federal cause.

As was anticipated yesterday, Gilmore opened fire
against the city of Charleston on the 27th, throw-
ing large shells containing Greek fire, No results
are as yet known.

The American papers seem disposed to make a

President to Don Matias Ramero, the Envoy Ex.

exceedingly guarded in his expressions of goodwill
towards a State with which amicable relations were
never interrupted, and towards an Envoy who had
won personal regard in his former residence here.
The President simply assured M. Ramero that " the
people and Government of Mexico had our good-
will and sympathy," and bade the Envoy welcome
to rirashington. No allusion to recent events oc-
curred in the President's answer, and the Minister
had been advised to avoid such topics in his address.
It remains to be seen what reception is reserved for
the Ambassador of the Emperor Maximilian, when-
ever that potentate chooses to ask for recognition at
the hands of the United States' Government. Mr.
Lincoln's policy, as we all know, is " one war at a
time." The newspapers, however, are already firing
from all their batteries against the French invaders,
and vowing vengeance against " the combined des-
potism and aristocracy of the besotted Old World."
I have before me a few specimens of the new
" fractional currency," several million dollars'
worth of which is about to be iesued by Mr.
Chase. They are, if possible, uglier than the
crumpled bits of paper they are intended to
supersede. They are not green-backed, but red-
backed for 50c. pieces, and purple-backed for
25c. They bear a vignette, with steamers, mail-
coaches, locomotive engines, and other emblems of
a nation's movement and prosperity. The paper is
crisp, and rather flimsy. In the centre, in front, is a
gold circle in the shape of a little frame surround-
ing a likeness of Washington, so clumsily contrived
that the great patriot hero seems to be grinning
through a horse collar. The value of the piece is
very cleverly printed in large figures, also in gold,
at the back, The gold is obviously introduced es
evidence that precious metals have not altogether
and for ever fled the country. Altogether, this new
paper money is rather a proof of the ingenuity than
of the good taste of the " universal Yankee nation."
It is so contrived as to a great extent to defy the
forget's skill, but as to its durability—why, it is to
be hoped that even the Republic, " one and indivi-
sible," may have longer life than this new currency
with which it will soon be inundated.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.
THURSDAY.

A bright sun and clear atmosphere improved the aspect
of affairs this morning, and together with a well-filled card,
gave promise of an enjoyable day's sport, which began at
12, or rather would have done so had certain jockeys not
been refractory at the post, thereby delaying the start for
the first race upwards of half an hour—a crying evil, which
no punishment seems able to meet. When they did start,
tho course being 3 furlongs and 100 yards, Cutaway re-
peated her yesterday's performance cleverly. A new race,
a Handicap for 3-yr-olds and upwards, afforded a sharp
contest between the four placed, Spicebox winning by a
length; the other three separated respectively by a head
each.

The Sefton Handicap, a mile and a quarter, was an agree-
able change after the half-mile scampers over the T.Y•C•
Charming Woman was made the favourite, and led into the
straight, where Despair and Alice came up, and a fine race
between the three ensued, Alice getting her head first past
the chair, and Despair and Charming Woman making a
dead heat for second place. An objection was made by Lord
Bateman, as well as by Mr. Hart, the owners of Despair
and Charming Woman, against the winner on the ground
of foul riding, but after hearing evidence the stewards
awarded the stakes to Alice. The steeplechase, although
not possessing the interest of those held here in the spring,
yet brought eight sufficiently well-known horses to the
post, including Reporter, the winner of the Worcestershire,
Lincoln, Thotnastou n, and others. De Ruyter was made
the favourite, but Reporter found many supporters on the
strength of his Lincoln and Worcester victories. The race
is fully described below, and it is sufficient to say here that
Thomastown,De Ruyter, and Reporter were in the front rank
throughout, that the first-named took a very commanding
lead for some distance after jumping the second fence, but
was subsequently passed by De Ruyter, Reporter, and Gla-
diator, and that on entering the straight the race was left
to the two former, Reporter jumping the last fence ahead
of his opponent and winning a good race by two lengths,
Thomastown, who came with a rush at the last, securing
third place. There were no casualties worth reporting ;
the Gift alone falling at the first fence, and being out of the
race from that point.

olds. 'Winners extra. Three furlongs and 100 yards.

A tedious delay of upwards of half an hour took place at
the post before Mr. Marshall could get them in order.
When the flag was lowered they left the post to anything
but a satisfactory start, Hypatia, rearing up at the moment,
being left behind. Cutaway with Lady Nichol next the
rails were the first to show in advance, followed in the
centre of the course by Usher and Virginia, and on the
upper ground by Practitioner and Alice Leigh, to the en-
closure, where Lady Nichol and Usher retired, and Vir•.
ginia and Alice Leigh took the second and third places,
but without having a chance of reaching Cutaway, who
won in a canter by three lengths, Virginia defeating Alice
Leigh by a neck ; Practitioner finished next half a length
in their rear, Lady Nichol was fifth, and Prescription next.
The last three (who got badly off) were London, Jane
Shore, and Lady Mary.

Betting-5 to 2 agst De Ruyter, 3to 1 agst Reporter, 5
to 1 agst Lincoln, and 6 to 1 agst Thomastown.

Immediately the flag was lowered, Gift, in company with
Thomastown, De Ruyter, and Gladiator, appeared in front,
with the others lying up ; but as they came across the com-
mon De Ruyter took a clear lead, followed by Gift, Thomas-
town, and Lincoln, to the bushed fence opposite the Stand,
which the leader refused, and in so doing caused those be-
hind him to follow suit, the first to get over being Thomas-
town, who was quickly followed by Reporter, South Aus-
tralian, Gladiator, Maid of Perth, De Ruyter, and Lincoln,
and then came Gift, some distance in the rear. In these
positions they cleared the water jump without a mistake,
with the exception of Gift, who dropped her hind quarters
into it, and seat the spray glittering in the air. Rounding
the stable turn, Thomastown considerably increased his
lead, and as they entered the meadows he was upwards of
half a dozen lengths in advance of Reporter, who was closely
followed by De Ruyter, Gladiator, South Australian, and
Lincoln, Gift beinging up the rear, in which way they
crossed the ploughed land, the leader taking a line to the
left, the others going somewhat to the right. Approaching
Valentine Brook, De Ruyter ran past his horses and assumed
the command, Thomastown going over second, Reporter
third, with Gladiator and South Australian, side by side,
next. Gift, who followed, being out of it, was pulled up
and returned home. Little or no alteration in these posi-
tions occu red until clearing the fence by the canal bridge,
which the leadieg horses cleared nearly together, Thomas-
town with a slight advantage, which he retained to the turn
into the straight, where Lincoln was beaten, and in a few
strides further the leader was joined by Reporter, De Ruyter
and Gladiator, who reached the flight of hurdles at the dis-
tance nearly together. Reporter and De Ruyter, however,
being the quickest, cleared them in advance, came on toge-
ther, the former with a slight lead, which he held to the
end, and won a good race by two lengths ; a like distance
between the second and third. Thomastown, coming with a
rush in the last few strides, obtained the third position, four
lengths in advance of Gladiator. South Australian was
hitt. Lincoln and Maid of Perth did not pass the post.

made the running to the distance, where the favourite came
out and won cleverly by a length—a neck between the
second and third, a like distance separating the third and
fourth. Mousetrap was fifth, the two last wet e Zuleika and
Miss Livingstone,

have unfastened the front door from the inside to let himself
out; the lock might have been picked from the outside.
Witness found some Brazil nuts under the broken window.
Miss Gorman, recalled, said that she had thrown the Brazil
nuts at the window to make the Grieves hear. She must
have thus broken the window. The Coroner said that
although the persons who were disturbed in robbing the
house of the deceased had, perhaps, no settled intention of
killing her, by their violence they had caused her death,
and they were therefore guilty of wilful murder. The police
had so little present prospect of bringing the murderers to
justice, that he considered a verdict of wilful murder against
some persons unknown might as well be returned at once,
without an adjournment. The jury returned a verdict of
" Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown,"
The proceedings then terminated.
