THE SUN.

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1860.

There is a great deal more of vulgar claptrap
written and spoken in favour of than against the
Horse-ride in Kensington-gardens. Any one living
in the neighbourhood, who protests against it, is at
once sneered at as a westryman. The refined cham-
pions of Mr. COWPER'S Folly endeavour to make
good their case (so very ingenuously !) by talking
loudly of the fears entertained by these vestrymen
and patresfainilice, lest their children should be
trampled to death by homicidal equestrians, or
gored and partially devoured by infuriated blood-
hounds. To bear the advocates of this ridi-
culous crotchet one might really be led to
suppose that there is something essentially
mean and despicable in our municipal institutions
—that, in fact, there is only one thing meaner or
more despicable, namely, being a parent endowed
with the ordinary instincts of philoprogenitiveness.
Those who like ourselves have been opposed to this
uncalled for whim of the Chief Commissioner, have
opposed it as an unasked and in every way unde-
sirable innovation. Is it not an " innovation ?"
Nobody ever heard before of a horse ride
being carried through the very centre of
Kensington-gardens. Nobody ever heard of
such a horse ride being desired by one
single individual. Until one fine day—the thing was
done—without an ordinary " with your leave, or
by your leave"—in obedience to the autocratic
mandate of the Chief Commissioner. In this un-
authorised manner £250 worth of hurdles were
planted in double lines, sweeping round from the
western extremity of Rotten Row, between the
Round Pond and the old red-brick Palace, parallel
with the Broad Walk, to the Notting-hill
entrance, then turning eastwards at a tangent,
and running thence under the trees, side
by side, with the Bayswater turnpike road. The
utmost derision has since then been directed
against those who venture to express any solici-
tude as to the safety of the scores of little children
hitherto crossing and recrossing the line of this
horse-road, whether on foot or in perambulators.
Those who, naturally enough, complain of the in-
troduction of any horse-ride at all in that particu-
lar locality—a locality hitherto restricted entirely
to pedestrians—are jeered at coarsely, and most
illogically as selfishly desirous to render what is "pub-
lic"—" private." Than which imputation nothing
certainly could be more utterly preposterous. Accord-
ing to this mode of reasoning not one of our publie
parks can be deemed worthy of the name of public
until a horse-ride shall have been conducted right
across it. And in the name of justice we ought to
insist upon having another of Mr. CowrEß's
nonsensical rides carried sheer through Green
Park, from the Mall to the Triumphal
Arch at Hyde Park Corner. Whatever
may be thought, however, of the result of last
evening's debate and division in the House of
Commons—certain are we that neither will be
found to have settled the question definitively.
The hurdles fencing off the horse ride will be paid
for to the tune of £2so—and that is all. The
horse ride itself will sooner or later follow Mr.
HAWK SLEY'S scheme of filtration.

Let it be remarked for a moment how exces-
sively absurd are the statements made in defence
of his pet enterprise by the Chief Commissioner
himself only yesterday. His predecessor
Lord JOIIN MANNERS had insisted upon the recog-
nition of the tolerably self-evident truth that
" parks are parks, and gardens are gardens." What
is Mr. COWPER'S reply ? Why, he denies the pro-
liosition I No wonder the Roue listening to him
was at once convulsed with " great laughter.'
Thon note what the sapient Minister said immediately
afterwards. " He believed that the House would
agree with him that the mere fact of Kensington
Gardens having hitherto been kept for pedestrians,
WaS n° reason
-why people should rot he admitted
who rr2cnation on horseback" [mark the words
that followed this] "provided only that they could
do so without inflicting any material discomfort on
other classes." So that the infliction of some dis-
comfort is
a thing to be tolerated—the only pro-
vision is
that the discomfort is not to be very
mate-lal!
Now, according to this, we might have
it insisted upon as
only a reasonable proposition
that a parallel road should be hurdled off for the
Isa of the donkey-carts of our useful and indus-

trious fellow-citizens the chimney-sweeps and
costermongers. Any of the fashionable equestrians
who might declaim against such a suggestion as
extravagant, would, surely, only be following in
the wulgar pathvay already trodden by the Mary-
lebone vestrymen ! They would only be evidencing
a wish to render what is " public "—" private." It
is a perfect absurdity for Mr. COWPER to maintain
that the question at issue, in regard to Kensington
Gardens, is ont that presents the alternative of pri-
vacy or publicity. As to his extraordinary asser-
tion that " the people who went to the flower gar-
dens never had to cross the ride at all"—we can only
characterise it as a gross, and monstrous, and
wilful, and outrageous misstatement. The Horse-
ride—at the very point where it quits Rotten-row
and trends into Kensington-gardens—cutting right
across THE flower-walk, par excellence, in those
gardens ! It will be remembered well, of course,
that Mr. COWPER, in first defending his little dis-
play of elegant flunkeyism—consulting the com-
fort and convenience not of the Million, but of the
Upper Ten Thousand—had the shabbiness to pre-
tend that his Hocse-ride was designed with an
especial regard to the sanitary habits of profes-
sional men, lawyers and doctors, and the like.
Well, one of the lawyers, in the person of Mr.
MALINS, spoke out plainly enough upon the subject
yesterday—and certainly the hon. and learned
gentleman, the member for 'Wallingford, went dead
against the pet scheme of the Chief Commissioner.
That scheme is one altogether so arbitrary in itself,
so entirely for the benefit of a single section of
society, so wholly in defiance of public opinion, that
we cannot but rest confident that it will follow in
the wake of every perverse and paltry attempt at
class legislation.

Our young PZINCE will be forcibly reminded, by
his journey, of one of the blessings of his lot, If
his life be spared, he will enter upon " the quiet
and peaceable possession," as the lawyers would
say, of his throne, without anything resembling the
struggle which he will witness in America. GIB-
BON has long ago observed how, notwithstanding
the apparent absurdity of devolving the supreme
magistracy on a legitimate heir, who, as facts, and
not theory only, show, may be a weak or vicious
man—at best an average man—more probably than
a very wise one, yet the highest post in the nation
has always been found to be a prize too valuable to
submit to competition. Perhaps, also, the more
educated and thoughtful among our young
cousins are beginning to cherish feelings and senti-
ments which tend this way, though they hardly
dare themselves mould them into ideas and notions,
much less venture to give them utterance in words.
Still, how thoroughly distasteful must it be to re-
fined minds to witness the coarse bullying strife
which is now going on in the States, respecting
an office which ought to represent, not the
passions of the majority, much less of a
half-civilised minority of slave-holders, but the
impartiality on which every citizen, and every class
of citizens might rely.
Our readers, probably, well know that Repub-
licans are the Conservatives of the United States,
and Democrats the extreme Radicals—the former
leaning strongly to support of the Federal Go-
vernment, while the Democrats lay chief stress on
the sovereignty of individual states. Just now,
however, it is the Slavery Question which over-
rides every other. The three candidates now in the
field, with their corresponding vice-presidents,
(and a fourth candidate is threatened) are all dis-
tinguished from each other by their shades of
opinion on the subject of slavery. Mr. BRECKIN-
RIDGE is the out and out advocate of slavery. His
followers have arrived at the conclusion that it is
a moral good ! at least, this is their creed in the
great capital of New York. Mr. BRECKINRIDGE
would stick at nothing ; would renew, were
it needful, the atrocities upheld by PIERCE
and BUCHANAN in Kansas, and would not
object to the slave trade but that his party dread
equally the disgrace of leaving all the honour of
captures to the British, and the expense of convey-
ing the captured negroes to Liberia. To save the
latter expense, indeed, it has been found convenient
to wink at the abduction of the unfortunate re-
leased Africans, and to give out that they are dying
of an epidemic, which epidemic turns out to be one
that takes them for their recovery to the southern
cotton plantations!

Mr. DOUGLAS, though a pro-slavery man, is
strongly opposed to inflicting slavery by coercion
on the territories. He was heartless enough to aid
the slaveholders in abolishing the geographical
line (36 deg. 30 min. N. lat.), north of which it had
been agreed by both parties that slavery should
not be tolerated. But he did so under the pretext
of making the territories supreme judges them-
selves in the matter of slavery. They were to have
full power to tolerate slavery or to forbid it the
territory, until they had arrived at a sufficient
amount of population to enter the Union as
States. Practically Mr. DOUGLAS, who is the
proper leader of the Democratic party, from which
that of BRECIUNRBYGE is a secession, is midway
between the more atrocious upholders of slavery
and the Republicans.

The Republicans, however, are snot abolitionists.
They shudder at the mere word. They find slavery
to be a political evil; and they are anxious to
limit its domain. Non-extension of slave-territory
is all they aim at. They deny that, under the
constitution of the United States, Congress, which
has the Government of the territories, can legislate
slavery into them. They regard the constitution—
which is certainly historically true—as designed to
establish freedom, not slavery. Their republican
fathers—they said on one of their platforms, in
1856, prior to the Presidential election of that year
—when they had abolished slavery in all their na-
tional territory, ordained that no person should
be deprived of life, liberty, or property without
due process of law. Hence they deny the right
" of Congress, of any territorial legislature, or of
any individual, or association of individuals, to give
legal existence to slavery in any territory of the
United States, while the present Constitution shall
be maintained." The candidate of this, now very
large party, was to have been the well known Mr.
SEWARD, of New York, but to soothe the excite-
ment of party feeling, a man of whom no one here
ever heard before—a Mr. LINCOLN, of Illinois—
singularly enough the State of Mr. DOUGLAS also—
was hit upon, as one who had hitherto had no
alienating contentions with any party whatever.
On account of the split in the Democratic camp,
which seems likely to be irreconcileable, the Repub-
licans are in great hope this time of carrying their
man ; and a mercy indeed it would be to the coun-
try if for once, in a long series or years, a Presi-
dent was elected who represented the free3ora and
intelligence of the North, and was not a mere tool
of the South,—a willing abettor, like BUCHANAN,
of the most horrid atrocities in Kansas —if it
might but strengthen the infernal and thrice
accursed villany of slavery. We wish we could
share on this subject the confidence of an author
who writes from professedly personal and inti-
mate knowledge of the subject. Mr. F. M. EDGE
says—" The result of the contest next November
will be the election of an Anti-slavery extension
President. and the annihilation of Southern Ter

rorism. It will be the repeal of the Fugitive Slave
Act, the confining of slavery within its present
limits, and the destruction of filibusterism, annexa-
tionising, and the secret carrying on of the slave
trade."

May Mr. EDGE prove a true prophet ! But he
calculates on the twenty-seven votes of Pensyl-
vania, a State of whose stability England knows
something pecuniarily, and of whose morality and
love of liberty the Union had proof enough in 1856,
in its Tote for the avowed friend of filibusterism and
man-selling—Mr. BUCHANAN. Low indeed fell
the Quaker State that year., We fear that the
symptoms of improvement in its municipal elections
are not sufficiently confirmed to be trustworthy in -
dications of her political and moral advance. What
we fear is, that by the defection a second time of
Pennsylvania the election of a President may be
thrown into the hands of Congress. In that case
it is not doubted that iniquity will again triumph;
should the election go to Congress, the voting is
there by States, not by delegates. It requires that
but two of the States should prove faithless to
their own Constitution and Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and the result may be a mad pro-slavery
President. He would have a majority of seven-
teen to sixteen. From such a calamity one is
ready to pray that PROVIDENCE may save Chris-
tendom and civilisation.

A canonry residentiary in Westminster Abbey
has become vacant by the death of the Rev. E. Reptcn,
M.A., who was appointed to it in 1838 by Lord Melbourne,
the then Prime Minister. The canonry is worth £l,OOO a
year, with a house, and is in the gift of the Crown. By
Canon Repten's death two other livings become vacant,
namely, the vicarage of Shoreham, near Sevenoaks, worth
£470 a year, with a house, in the gift of the dean and canons
of Westminster; and the incumbency of St. Philip's
Church, Regent-street (diocese of London), worth £4OO a
year, in the gift of the Rev. J. E. Kempe, M.A., Rector of
St. James's, Westminster.
DEATH OF A PENINSULAR OFFICER.—We have
to record the death of Mr. Francis Green Bradshaw, a ma-
gistrate of the county of Norfolk, and formerly of the 52d
Foot, which occurred at his residence, Drayton House,
Norfolk, on the sth inst., at the advanced age of 75 years.
The deceased officer entered the army in January, 1805,
served with the sth Dragoon Guards in the Peninsula, in-
cluding the battles of Vittoria and Toulouse, for which he
had received the war medal, with two clasps.
A letter from Ceuta of the 21st states that the
central military hospital was totally consumed by fire on the
20th, but fortunately without occasioning any loss of life.

The report of the directors of the Mid-Kent
Railway Company recommends a half-yearly dividend at
the rate of 3 per cent. per annum.

One per cent. is the average of sickness by latest news.

A report has been received from Macao that a
large French troopship, with 1,200 men on board, is on
shore there and on fire. The troops have been landed, but
the ship, it is expected, will be totally lost. In the absence
of further particulars it is conjectured that the vessel took
fire and was run on shore to save the troops and crew.
This is the third ship of the expedition the French havo
lost withinthe last two months.

N lAGARA FA LLS.—The Niagara Falls Gazette says
that a day or two ago a drayman threw his dog into the

went to the foot of the ferry stairs, and found him but little
injured by the tremendous leap. The cruel experiment was
tried to convince some incredulous persons.—New York
Herald.

FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS SERVING IN INDIA
Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners chartered, yes-
terday afternoon, the 9th inst., two ships—viz., the Aliquis,
of 1,125 tons, and the Bride, of 565 tons, to convey the
wives and families of soldiers serving in India from Ply-
mouth and Southampton to Madras and Bombay respec-
tively, at £l6 3s. 6d. and Xl7 198.5 d. per statute adult, to be
ready for the reception of their passengers on the 10th of
September. The owner is required to provide for each 100
passengers three passenger stewards, to be subject to the
orders of the surgeon-superintendent of the ship.
THE LIVERPOOL TANNERS.—A meeting of the
creditors of Messrs. Barton and Son, tanners and leather
factors, was held yesterday in the chambers of Messrs.
Harwood, Banner and Son, accountants, North John-
street. The meeting was numerously attended. The
amount of liabilities was stated at £184,000, and the assets
at £71,000. An offer was made by Messrs. Barton and
Son of Bs. in the pound; and after some discussion, the
creditors present agreed to accept this offer. The proceed-
ings of the meeting occupied nearly two hours.
•

SUICIDE BY A POLlCEMAN—Yesterday morning
self-destruction was committed by T. Johnstone, a City
police-constable of the sth division. The unfortunate man
was excitable and low-spirited. On one of his brother
constables calling him at half-past five o'clock to dress for
the purpose of going on duty, the deceased answered,
" Yes, it is all right," and shortly after went down stairs.
On one of the inmates going into the yard he was horrified
at discovering him suspended by a rope from a nail in the
yard. Medical assistance was sent for and promptly at-
tended, but life was quite extinct. No cause is assigned for
the act.

ACCIDENT ON TIIE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.—As the Liverpocl mailtrain, due at the Euston-
square Station at 11 a.m., was emerging from the Kilburn
Tunnel yesterday, a pointsman, named William Edgell, in-
cautiously attempted to cross over the line, and was pro-
pelled by the buffer of the engine a considerable distance,
falling with great violence on the metals, b t providentially
free front the wheels of the passing train. We was conveyed
to the University College Hospital, where it was ascer-
tained that in addition to severe contusions which he had
received, the spine was serioasly injured.

SLIGO ELECTION.—The correspondent of the
Freeman's Journal, writing from Sligo, communicates the
fact that Mr. Tenison has retired from the contest. He
states in his retiring address that in coming forward to con-
test the seat with Mr. Macdonogh, the Conservative candi-
date, he expected to have had the support of the whole
Liberal party. In the present position of the registry when
a liberal vote cannot safely be spared, the appearance of
Mr. Somers at the nomination and his expressed determina-
tion to go to the poll left Mr. Tenison no alternative but to
retire. The following circular had subsequently been
issued :—Tuesday Evening.—As Mr. Tenison is obliged, by
the interference of Mr. Somers, to resign his candidature for
the representation of the borough, I request that no liberal
elector will vote, to-morrow for Mr. Somers, on whom must
devolve the odium and responsibility of the unsuccessful
issue of the present contest. It is my earnest desire that
there be no opposition whatever made to the return of the
Conservative candidate ; and that there Etp no further mani-
festation made against the Conservative candidate. 0.4, L.
GILLOOLY." The following is the close of the poll as re-
ceived in Dublin by Telegraph :—Macdonogh, 160 ; Reilly,
5 ; and Somers, 1.

BIRDS AND FISH FOR AUSTRALIA.—Mr. Laudells
brought from India a very interesting collection of birds
and curiosities of natural history for our public institutions.
Among these there are 34 Indian partridges (the sole sur-
vivors of some 300 shipped),lB Persian doves, 2 inarabouts,
1 pelican of the wilderness, 2 chackas, 20 love-birds, 2u
Cochin birds, a hunting dog from the north of India, &c.
Mr. Landells endeavoured to bring over, for the Botanical
Gardens, two rose trees of the celebrated Cashmere variety,
but they died on the voyage. A further consignment of
English birds, sent by Mr. Wilson, arrived by the Norfolk
—via, 3 lark., 9 thrushes, and 37 blackbirds, -which were
placed in a warmer apartment of the Botanical Gardens
than the aviary, as they arrrived in poor and weak condi-
tion. Originally 73 larks were embarked, and the mortality
among them therefore was very great. One thrush and
three blackbirds were lost on the voyage. By the same ship
five English hares were brought to the colony (10 having
been embarked) fur Mr. W. Lyall, of Yallock. Tbey are in
good condition. We also learn that two Indian deer were
landed at Perth, in Western Australia, from Singapore, a
few weeks ago. We very much regret to state that the expe-
riment of introducing salmon ova to the Australasian rivers
has failed. The ship S. Curling arrived in the bay on.
Saturday, after a protracted passage of 104 days from Liver-
pool to the Heads, when it was found that the whole of the
eva had died by the way—the firqt before the ship left the
Mersey, the last in lat. 26 deg. S. and long. 27
deg. 18 min.
W. • and it is a source of the greatest vexation that the
want of proper water and a suflicien.t supply of ice has been
primarily the cause of the failure of this expensive but most
promising and patriotic experiment:*—.MeThowne Arus.
