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 American papers seem disposed to make a
prodigious fuss" of the reception accorded by the
President to Don Matias Ramero, the Envoy Ex•
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the
Mexican Republic. The President, however, was
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 as3ured M. Ramero that " the
people and Government of Mexico had our good-
will and sympathy," and bade the Envoy welcome
to Washington. 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-
becked 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 as
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
forgei'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.

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 bac° opposite the Stand,
which the leader refused, and in sc doing caused those be-
hind him to follow suit, the first tc 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 sent 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 Not his horses and assumed
the command, Thomastown gcing 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 leading 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
fifth, 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 filth, the two last weie Z uteika and

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 returnel at once,
without an adjournment. The jury returned a verdict of
" Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown,"
The proceedings then terminated.
