The meeting terminated this afternoon with racing of
a better quality than could have been expe3ted from the
limited returns of the previous days, the continued bril-
liantly-fine weather! to the close forming almost the only
agreeable feature of the meeting.
We are happy to state, however, that the prospects for
next year are of the most encouraging description. The
Corporation, as we stated in our report of Thursday's
races, have guaranteed the sum of 1,000/4 a portion of
which will be disposed of in the shape of a Cup, value
300 guineas, with 50 sous. for the second, and 2001. to
the Great Yorkshire Handicap, of which the second
horse will be entitled to 1001. The Cup weights
will be as follows :-3 yrs, 7st-4 yrs, Bst 51b-5 yrs,
Bst 121b-6 yrs and aged, 9st 21b ; mares and
geldings allowed 31bs ; the winner of the St.
Leger, 51bs, and the second, 21bs extra. The Handi-
cap will be run for over the St. Leger course,
and has already 70 subscribers. Many more may be ex-
pected in the course of the Liverpool and Newmarket
meetings. The Municipal Stakes of 500 soya. each has
six or seven names down, and will nodoubt have more be-
fore it closes. The meeting will commence on Monday,
and finish on Friday, and Mr. Clark, of Newmarket, will
be judge in the room of Mr. W. Lockwood, who has
" accepted the Chiltern Hundreds." It is also in con-
templet:on to appoint an efficient starter, and to carry
the inclosure up to the Stewards' and Subscription stands,
to raise the lawn so as to afford a view of the races with-
out entering the stand, and to make such other altera-
tions as may be considered essential to the prosperity of
the meeting, and satisfactory to its patrons.

COLONEL NAPIER I2f REPLY TO

THE " TIME 6"

-" The republican sympathisers were the first

Times.—'
aggressors."
Answer.—That gave England ao right to invade
America.

Times.—" The destruction of the Caroline was a mat-
ter of self defence."

Answer.—That is to be proved. If she had been de-
stroyed out of the American waters it would have been
so. If she had been pursued into tse Arneria.ft waters
when flying from an attack it wouk have been so. But
she was deliberately attacked and destroyed in the Ame-
rican waters without any previous demand for redress,
without any proof offered, any declaration made, that
she was a piratical vessel. Her destruction was, there-
fore, an attack on the American nation. _ _

l'inies.—" The State of New York was bound to en-
force the neutrality of its citizens.'
Answer.—Undoubtedly, if it could. An American
General was sent with troops tc enforce it. But the
frontier is immense, and covered with forests. The neu-
trality could not be enforced. Was bad faith on the
part of the American Government suspected ? If so, an
energetic remonstrance and notice of reprisals, if redress
was not granted, would have been the mode of proceed•
ing according to the international law. Was no deceit
suspected ? Then a demand for the surrender of the
Caroline and her crew as a piratical vessel, or the pa-
nishment of the pirates, according to the laws of America,
would have been the proper mode of proceeding. In
either case the right of the American nation to- have its
sovereignty in its own waters respected would have been
conceded, but the deliberate destruction of the Caroline
in those waters being a complete act in itself, and not
the continuation of an attack commenced before she took
refuge in the American waters, was quite unauthorized
by international law. Was it a matter of necessity ?
That necessity should have been shown, and an apology
founded on it offered for the attaint upon American so-
vereignty. Had this been done on the instant no weak-
ness or dishonour could have been imputed to England,
and though it would be less graceful now, it is never too
late to act justly and honourably.
Times.—" 'I he Federal Government has explicitly re-
coomized the right of England to insist unconditionally on
Mr. M`Leod's release."

Answer.—This has no bearing on the question. The
captivity and trial of M‘Lcod, after the English Govern-
ment had taken upon itself the responsibility of destroy-
ing the Caroline, is a violation of international law on
the part of America, which the Federal Government
does not defend, and which it endeavours to redress.
But this in no manner justifies the previous violation of
international law by England. The Federal Government
is willing to redress the injustice done to us by re-
leasing M'Leod, but apparently it is unable. We, then, on
our part, ought to express an equal willingness to redress
the injury done to American sovereignty, either by
showing the necessity or pleading the provocation, and
apologizing. In fee, if the Times would adduce those
proofs of the necessity for the destruction of the Caro
line, in the manner it was effected, which have been laid
down in Mr. Webster's letter to Mr. Fox as requisite to
bring the act within the pale of international law, it
would be more reasonable and more effectual than calling
my proposal for an apology "stark staring non-sense."
