THE DISMISSAL OF MR. CRAMPTON,

NEW YORK, July 9.—The action of the British
Government in concluding to acquiesce in the dis-
missal of Mr. Crampton has produced a beneficial
effect in the United. States. What has been done
has greatly raised England in the estimation of the
Americans. We subjoin extracts from two of the
New York papers, which express the universal
feeling here, and also the feeling of the Govern-
ment.

The New York Herald of the 7th says :
"In this point of view the Crampton case may cer-
tainly be regarded as one of the most important recent
events in our history and in that of the world. Great
Britain has submitted to the gravest affront that one na-
tion can offer to another ; and that, not frUni a general
conviction that the affront was merited—for the decision
was arrived at before the grounds of the step were fully
known—butfrom a general aversion to engage in war, and
that a war with the United States. Of course, it is not
pretended by any one that England has given way from
any fear of a war, or any suspicion of military inferiority.
The immense disproportion existing between the forces
of Great Britain and those of the United States—the
unquestioned power of the former to inflict dreadful
losses on the latter before any stbstantial preparation
for war could be made here—the prestige of a successful
war just brought to a close, and the possession of the
finest naval armament ever seen, a fine well-disciplined
army and powerful allies, while this country has, so to
speak, neither experience, nor army, nor navy, nor
shies—all these show at a glance that neither did Ame-
rica press her point from any wish to bully, nor did
England yield from any feeling but elle that reflects not
the slightest shadow on her honour or her courage.
Yet there is no doubt she did yield, without examina-
tion, without struggle ; chopped suddenly round from
an attitude of marked hostility and asperity to one of
conciliation and concession."

And the Tribune of the Bth says :
"In this country nobody seemed to c Ira a fig about
it. When the news came the other day that 850 guns
were probably on their voyage hither stocks showed no
sign of being affected—and people sweated in the sun and
ate their strawberries and ices as if the British navy and
army had no existence. The reality of war, in a word,
was not believed in. What alarmed the cotton and iron
hosts of England had no effect here. We did not anti-
cipate a contest. We knew the British Ministry better.
We knew that, although the dismissal of Mr. Crampton
under the circumstances was not necessary, and was
calculated to wound the susceptibilities of a great and
proud nation, there would be no war, for the reason that
the day for making it through points of etiquette is
gone by, and that the deEtiuies of empires are not longer
to be under the feet of the red-tapists, but that labour-
saving machinery at work on land and on sea has so
prodigiously augmented the wealth and intercourse of
England and the United States that the nations have
gone beyond the diplomacy of the old pattern. Indeed,
so far has the private or extra-diplomatic intercourse of
the two nations so dominated in the discussion of this
Crampton difficulty, overriding the fact of his dismissal
outright, and being superior to any trouble had even
Mr. DAllas been sent home, that it should seriously set
this people to think that the chances of good intercourse
could be multiplied by dispensing with the useless in-
stitution of resident Ministers."

Sporting Intelligence.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDA.Y.

Speculation was pursued with little activity, and the
investments were for the most part in trifling sums. No
little difficulty was therefore experienced in compiling an
accurate list of quotations, the majority of the prices
being merely nominal.

while Yellov, Jack laboured under considerable depres-
sion. 9to 2, and finally 4 to 1 were taken about the

low Jack, whose partizans seemed desirous of extending
their investments in this direction. 7to 1 was offered
against Monarque ;Bto 1 would have been taken. The
