NEWMARKET RACES—THIS DAY.

LORD PALMERSTON ON CHOLERA AND
NATIONAL FASTS.

At the ordinary meeting of the Presbytery of Edin-
burgh, on Wednesday, the Moderator stated that in
consequence of the conversation which had taken place
at the previous meeting on the propriety of a day of hu-
miliation and prayer on account of the visitation of
cholera, he had written to Lord Palmerston, stating that
" the members of Presbytery were of opinion that it was
likely, under the circumstances, that a national fast
would be appointed on Royal authority. For this reason
(the communication proceeded to say) they delayed
making an appointment for this locality, and directed
me, in the meantime, respectfully to request that you
would be pleased to say—if you feel yourself at liberty
to do so—whether the appointment of a national fast by
the Queen is in contemplation."
In reply, the following letter was received from the
Home-office :

There will be 14 races. The first at 11; the Hough-
ton Handicap at 12.25 • the Second Nursery Stakes at
2.15 ; the last race at 4.15.
A special train will leave Newmarket for London at
a quarter-past 5.

" Whitehall, Oct. 19, 1853.
" Sir—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th in-
stant, requesting, on behalf of the Presbytery of Edin-
burgh, to be informed whether it is proposed to appoint
a day of national fast on account of the visitation of the
cholera, and to state that there can be no doubt that

manifestations of humble resignation to the Devine Will,

and sincere acknowledgments of human unworthiness,
are never more appropriate than when it has pleased
Providence to afflict mankind with some severe visita-

tion ; but it does not appear to Lord Palmerston that a
national fast would .be suitable to the circumstances of
the present moment.

"-The Maker of the Universe has established certain

laws of nature for the planet in which we live, and the
weal or woe of mankind depends upon the observance or
the neglect of those laws. One of those laws connects
health with the absence of those gaseous exhalations
which proceed from over-crowded human beings, or from
decomposing substances, whether animal or vegetable ;
and those same laws render sickness the almost inevit-
able consequence of exposure to those noxious influences.
But it has at the same time pleased Providence to place
it within the power of man to make such arrangements
as will prevent or disperse such exhalations so as to ren-
der them harmless, and it is the duty of man 'to attend
to those laws of nature, and to exert the faculties which
Providence has thus given to man for his own welfare.
" The recent visitation of cholera, which has for the
moment been mercifully checked, is an awful warning
given to the people of this realm that they have too
much neglected their duty in this respect, and that those
persons with whom it rested to purify towns and cities,
and to prevent or remove the causes of disease, have not
been sufficiently active in regard to such matters. Lord
Palmerston would, therefore, suggest that the best course
which the people of this country can pursue to deserve
that the further progress of the cholera should be stayed,
will be to employ the interval that will elapse between
the present time and the beginning of next spring in
planning and executing measures by which those por-
tions of their towns and cities which are inhabited by
the poorest classes, and which, from the nature of things,
must most need purification and improvement, may be
freed from those causes and sources of contagion which,
if allowed to remain, will infallibly breed pestilence, and
he fruitful in death, in spite of all the prayers and
fastings of a united but inactive nation. When man has
done his utmost for his own safety, then is the time to
invoke the blessing of Heaven to give effect to his ex-
ertions.—l am, air, your obedient servant, _

" HENRY FITZROY."
The reading of this letter from the Home Secretary
excited a good deal of sensation among the members of
Presbytery.
Rev. Dr. CLARK said— It is not usual, I dare say, to
make any remark on communications of this kind, but I
feel called upon to say that I totally dissent from the
doctrines contained in that letter, and that I can be no
party to share in the responsibility of those who refuse,
or at least who decline, to give an opportunity to her
Majesty's subjects to meet together for prayer on the
occasion of so fearful a visitation. I do not wish to
make any remark on men in high places, but it is the
first time, and I hope it will be the last, that any Secre-
tary of State has ever made any communication of this
kind to any Presbytery.
Rev. Dr. MUIR—I am sure we all concur in the
statement made by our excellent friend. There can be
only one sentiment of unmingled pity and regret enter-
tained by us that such a document should ever emanate
from a professedly Christian Government.
Rev. D. MACFARLANE—Concurring as I do in the
views expressed in regard to this communication from
the Home-office, there is required no further expression
of opinion from me on that subject. I would only ven-
ture to propose that we should take no further steps in
this matter, but that we should report this communica-
tion to the Synod, which meets next week, so that
whatever is done may be done not as a presbytery,
but by our brethren within the bounds of the pro-
vince.
Rev. Dr. Muirt—That reference of the matter to . the
Synod is only, of course, as regards the time. There .
no dubiety on our minds as to the necessity for appoint-
ing a day of humiliation. (Hear.)
Rev. Mr. SMITH thought it was desirable, as suggested
by Dr. Crawford at last meeting, that in the meantime
some steps should be taken to see if a day could be ap-
pointed for united Christian worship, and that Would be
acceptable to the various denominations. He thought
some communication might be made that there might
be some sort of co-operation.
Rev. Dr. MACFARLANE added that, as a presbytery,
they, of course, could do nothing to that effect, ' Dr.
Crawford had ex proprio motu made such a suggestion
at last meeting, and, of course, it was open to him to
make any private communication that might secure that
object.
Dr. BRYCE expressed his surprise and regret that any
letter should be sent from such an authority to the
Presbytery of Edinburgh, and contended that the Mo-
derator's letter called for no such response.
Rev. Dr. STEVEN also said that he regarded the docu-
ment
governor.
On the question being put, whether the document
should be engrossed,
Dr. CLARK moved that it should not, but that it
should be kept in retentis, which was agreed to.
The Moderator was instructed simply to acknowledge
that the letter had been received and laid before the
Presbytery.

WORCESTER, THURSDAY NlGHT.—Nothing which can
possibly tend to ensure success has been overlooked by
the able management now superintending, on behalf of
the public, the Worcester Meetings. Great facility has
been afforded in the permanent enlargement of the bet-
ting, besides additional arrangements for the comfort
and accommodation of the visitors ; matters which,
coupled with the already large demand for boxes, indi-
cate an unusually brilliant result. Since the Summer
Meeting the official staff has undergone important
alteration in the appointment of Mr. Richard Johnson
to the judgment seat, and of Mr. Callaway to the office
of starter. The races on Tuesday will commence at
twelve o'clock, and the first chase on Wednesday will be
run punctually at two. It may also be mentioned that
the stakes for the Grand Chase and Hurdle Race
are to be paid before eleven o'clock on the morning of
running instead of the previous night, as heretofore.
Peter was declared not to start for the Annual Steeple
Chase on Monday, and Peter Simple on Tuesday.
The races commence on the first day at 12.45, and on
the second day at 1.30.

My Lord,—l have the honour of informing your Lord-
ship that, on account of the Quarantines established in
the Roman and Neapolitan ports on arrivals from England,
the steamers sailing from hence for Civita Vecchia and
Naples refuse to receive passengers coming from England,
and destined for those ports, unless it appears from the
visas on their passports that they have been 7 days out of
England previous to embarking ; this being necessary to
prevent the vessel being put into Quarantine at Civita
Vecchia or Naples, and to allow the travellers free admis-
