The following paragraph appears in The Erlintrargh Aldix r
tirer of the 28th instant, in answer to the article which appeai A
in another Edinburgh Journal, headed " The Tay'," and
which was inserted in Tut Su l 4 of 'Wednesday last :
THE Tu our last we noticed a case which tVell Tr ea
at the Northern Meeting Races (Inverness), respecting the
height of the pony which won the race, anti that the case had
been submitted to the Jockey Club.—We confess ourselves
" mere Tyros on the Turf," but still we cannot see any
difficulty in the question here referred to, for this plain reason that a special notice was necessary to &rapt the general ails..-..
In the. advertisement of the Northern Meeting Races for the en..
suing year, an intimation of this sort has been given, but it tan«
not operate retro, and there was no such notice formerly. This
being the case, those who took it for granted that the common
standard on tho. Turf WAS 10 be taken, and put their ponies in
training, in full reliance upon it, would be strangelyrmsled if a
different rule were announced on the eve of starting for the
race, or any serious question raised upon the subject. The
usual mode of measurement (far Racers) must thrrereibre lave
place. lint we do not mean to cast any blame on the Stewards of
the Northern Meeting. The amusements of the Turf are new
introduced for the first time into the Highlands, and the Stevie tits
cannot be supposed to have any great skill in the business.
If they actArrhf and impartially, it is all that can be eapected
of then, and it appears to us that they have done so at the pre-
sent instance by submitting to the Jockey Club what seemed
to then to be a doubtful question.

deference to public law will be at great beset
to them in their future relations with other
States. We have always .contended, that ,the,

A letter from. Madrid, gives a most melan.
chr)ly account of the anarchy of unfortunate
Spain. Riego is not yet condemned, as was
seated in a letter which lately appeared in
The Chronicle, but the act of accusation has
been ;framed. From the close manner in which
*irsaical proceedings are conduted in Spain, the
timiletion of false intelligencec on such a subject
may easily be accounted for, especially at a mo-
ment like the present, when, from the proscrip-
tion•upder which the Constitutionalists are suf-
fering, they have so few opportunities of authen.
ticatieg the reports they may hear.—(lbid.)

[TUE TIMES.]
Tike`accounts from France state, that Ferd
uriuti ha's been induced by his Foreign Allies to
refiutrish •or soften- his; vindictive proceedings
against the Constitutionalists, and that the decree
issued ;it Xeres on the nth ult. is, in particular,
to, undergo great modifications. We have as yet
seen no :,ymptoms of the new course ; neither do
lye. know that we shall, when they are COM'
inenced, much alter our opinion of a man who is
hiunatie by. constraint, lie will be obliged, it is
said, to adhere to some few of his promises
made under the impression of fear for his per-
sonal safety. How well that fear was founded,
appears from the facility with which he was
given up. A military treaty is, however, to
take place between France and Spain, by which
.the,indepetalence of the latter country is to be se-
cared ; so it will, no doubt, as the independence
of the British prrssis sometimes attempted to be se-
cared by certain happy, well-devised statutes, ren-
dering it very dangerous for any one to act upon
the
~presumption of that independence. If
howeiftr, is to be occupied by foreign
troops,. there is an -end of all doubt rewpecting
the guilt of - Ferdinand. It was asserted that
he did not tirst call the French troops into Spain,
but that they came of their own free will, with
a View to tranquillize the country. But- Ferdi-
nand now professes to be free, and yet the.
foreigner's remain. • It is clear, therefore, who
keeps them there. Why cannot he reign by the
free-will of his own subjects, the great majo-
yity of. whom, he says, is .attached to his person
and cause ? A King who reigns by foreign aid,
and .who retains foreigners in his country for
the express purpose of reigning In what manner
be pleases, is, beyond all doubt, himself a traitor.

Much Iluctuation took place in the 'English

which prevailed. Consols opened at Bt., rose
to 821, and fell again to S 2 ; ascended 'suddenly
nearly half per cent., and again declitied in

space of five minutes to WI, at which price
last public .bargain was effected. After four
o'clock a great deal was done as low as 894, and
even 894. The Jews seemed more inclined to
sell than to buy, which of itself tended to in-
crease the depression. In the Foreign Funds,
yesterday was settling day, and about six or eight

fell from some unexplained cause to 184. They
recovered to 30, but left off rather lower. It
is singular, that the Now Spanish Stock, which a
-fewdays ago was only five per cent. below the
Old Spanish Bonds, should have been yesterday
more than 10 per cent. lower, having sunk to

.While our Radical Newspapers and even
some, of our would •be Statesmen in Parliament
amuse themselves with the vague and unmeaning
abuse of the Emperor of Russia, the sounder
and more rational English politicians will keep a
steady eye on the actual measures of that So.
vereign, in order to ascertain whether his policy
is:really of the character ascribed to it by his
oppollnnts, or whether it is guided by the pure
and honourable vie w s which are professed
lu into), of his public declarations. We have
blown' led into those reflections by .a perusal
f part of Lord Strang ford's Note of the
SOth of August to the Reis y. frendi, 83 given in
the Augsburg Gazette. ft appears front this
document that his Lordship, on his return from
the Congress of Verona, communicated to the
Porte those wise and moderate counsels which
the British Government, in its earnest desire for
the. peace, of the world, thought fit to offer.—
'They appelir to have been wall received ;
and Lord Strangford then entered upon
his mediatorial duties, by stating the pacific
tiverturea which, as the Minister of a. friendly
Power, be was authorised by. P
Emperor of
,Rossis to make. in consequence of this the Reis.
(or Turkish Secretary of State) caused
to be transmitted to the Russian Minister a Note,
expressing a desire to re-establish the ancient
friendly relations between the two,Powers. The
11,,,,per0r Alexander received this pacific demon.
stretion with joy ; and affairs seemed to be pro-
ceding to a happy settlement, when (from some
cause hitherto unexplained) the Divan thought
fit to change its' tone, to sanction insults to

tate, but other Great. Powers which were bent
