agst Fancy Boy A dead heat with Lady Well and Heir-
at-Law; Fancy Boy was four lengths from the two, and
Odd Trick a length from Fancy Boy ; Tame Deer was
fifth, King of Sardinia sixth, Stapleton seventh, and The
Assignee last, tailed off. Deciding Heat—At the Duke's
Stand, 6to 5 was laid on Heir-at-Law ; at the winning post
7to 4 was betted on him. After a fine race, Heir-at-Law
won by a neck. His riders's foot slipped out of the stirrup
before reaching the post, and the horse overpowering little
Edwards, jumped some chains which had been left up at
the " turn of the lands," and the lad fell off. He was un-
hurt. Lady Well took a clear leap over the chains, but her
rider maintained his seat. On returning to scale an objec-
tion was lodged against The Heir, on the ground that he
had hung on Lady Well, and thus prevented her winning.
The stewards investigated the charge immediately on reach-
ing the town, and decided in favour of The Heir-at-Law.

HON. JOSEPH HO WE ON ENGLAND.

We extract, with great pleasure from the Boston
_Dal& Thfreller' of July 8, the following lifilliant
oration delivered by the Hon. Je l 11
sep i owe, in
Nova Scotia—at the Democratic Fe,tival—in
an-
swer to the toast, " Our Mother Country !"—[Ed.
Sun] :
" Mr. Howe said—lf this be a Democratic feast,
all I will say of it is, that Monsieur Sover could
not improve the viands, that the wines have a most
aristocratic flavour, and that the fruits and flowers
might be set upon the table of the gods. Ido not
know whether I am a Democrat or not, but I have
been fighting half my life at the North, to make every,
man, whatever his creed, or origin, or complexion;
equal in the eye of one responsible government, equal
in the presence of universal laws. We Englishmen
are endeavouring to combine in one general system
the forty States and Provinces which compose the
British Empire, scattered over every clime, embrac-
ing 300,000,000 of people, speaking every lan-
guage ; and, while combining them, we desire to
develop their resources by free trade with each
other, and, if possible, with all the world. If the
democracy of this country are striving so to com-
bine the thirty-one States of this confederacy, then
I wish you success with all my heart. (Applause.)
You-would be fools and madmen, called to this
vocation, in possession of half a continent, filled
with boundless resources, with a glorious history to
reflect upon and boundless resources to develop, if
from any want of skill or statesmanship you failed
to preserve this Union. England, Ireland, and Scot-
land, wia.o do not envy but glory in your prosperity,
would despise you if you dick. British America,
whose interests are involved in your success, would
deeplyregret the dissolution of this grcatconfederaev.
The sentiment which you have just given does
honour to your feast and to your nation. " Our
Mother Country." Why should we not love and
honour her ? Why should she not respect and
appreciate us ? Your fathers and grandfathers and
mine fought out, like brave men as they were,their
differences of opinion. And I, though a British
subject, have lived to rejoice that we were beaten
in that old war, for human liberty and civilisation,
the world over, even in the British Islands them-
selves, have gained more by your victories than
would have been gained had your rights been
trodden down. But, bear in mind, my friends,
that the Britons of the present day are not those
who oppressed you. Your rivals in commerce, and
arts, and arms, they may be, but, thank God, they
are at last your friends. Ardent lovers of liberty
like yourselves, they have worked out, under
other forms, the great problem of :ielf-
o. oovernment. Comprehending the destiny of
the British races, they are gratified to see you
on one-half of this Continent, ruling your
thirty republics, while we at the North arc laying
slowly, but securely, the foundations of a great
empire. It would be strange, indeed, Mr. Chair-
man, if New England did not love Old England
with all her heart. How closely do the two
countries resemble each other. On every side, as
I ramble 'overyour beautiful States, contrasts which
do not displease are blended with aspects highly
characteristic of the two countries. I see England
in your busy marts and thriving manufactories—
in your substantial structures—in your permanent
enclosures—in the beautiful cottage homes of your
farmers—and in the villas of your merchant princes.
I see her in your love of shade trees and flowers
which droop over your highways and are festooned
around your city mansions. I see in her the neat-
ness and thrift which everywhere prevail—in your
free Press—in your free Parliaments—in your love
of education—and in your reverence for the Bible.
Why then should you not love your mother country ?
Why should not we, men of the North and South,
mutually love each other ? We do. We will.
We must. Fraternal feelings are a necessity of our
natures. I would as soon shoot a Russian as a dog,
if I met him in open conflict. But to slay an
American would seem like committing a great
crime—like fratricide or murder. There can be no
lawful war between us. No war that is not
opposed to the higher laws which spring from our
common history, and govern our mental and moral
organizations. We have, it is true, been politically
divided for three-fourths of a century. But what
is that to the two thousand years during which our
blood, our laws, our fortunes were the same ? We
were the same people from Rannymede to 1688.
Your ancestors and mine wrung from tyrannic
kings and corrupt ministers the great charters
which, preserved the liberties of the world, under
which you were trained for independence—in
which may be discovered the spirit of the Declara-
tion you have read to-day. Our fathers carried
the Red Cross Banner at the Crusades, flaunted
their White and Red Roses in each other's faces at
the civil wars, and at Aginegart, Cressy, and Foie-
tiers, bent their bows and wielded their battle-axes
for the honour and to the eternal glory of " our
mother country." In the struggles of the Reforma-
tion, and in the later civil wars, you had your share.
At Homilies and Oudenard, and at Quebec, our
ancestors fought side by side. ?Marlborough and
Wolfe are yours. Shakspcare, and Milton, and
Spencer arc yours. Russell, and Hampden, and
even Chgt!iam ai.e yom.s. We have a common lot
and part in all the great names that emblazon a
m comon history, and have enriched a literatiare that
we cannot divide. Shall it be said, then, that be-
cause an old fool like Lord North set us by the ears
—that because the bad passions created by that
first mad contest involved us in a second civil war,
we are to fight again about any trifle, or that there
can be any question of such magnitude as to turn
back the great stream of our common thoughts, and
set us to cutting each other's throats ? God forbid.
Shall we fight to test our courage ? It has been
tested from Boadicea to Bunker's Hill, from Bun-
ker's Hill to Waterloo. We know how you can fight.
for we have tested your courage, sometimes to
our cost. You know how John Bull conducts him-
self in a fray, and as to our British Americans,
though lovers of peace, a bracing climate gives
vigour to the frame, and you can hardly see a boy
in the British Provinces who, if there be reason
good, would not as soon fight as cat his breakfast.
But why should we ? Such scenes as I have wit-
nesssed to-day assures me that we never shall. Such
scenes as this arc our best diplomacy. Let them ever
abound, and let us carry our trumpets as the firemen
did theirs this morning—ever filled with flowers.
Not the least gratifying part of the proceedings of
this day has been to me the oratorical displays,
with which I have been charmed. The Chinese
have their Feast of Lanterns. But you hang out
your intellectual lights, which would be too
dazzling, but for the art and the courtesy with which
their radiance is subdued. Before I sit down, sir,
permit me to thank you for the great kindness
extended to me on this occasion. Webster has
departed from the scene of his great labours.
Everett and Choate it has been my high privilege
to hear to-day, in the meridian splendour of their
reputations. lam pleased, however, to see, sir, in
the chair of this assembly, so able a representative
of the rising race of orators and statesmen by
whom the destinies of this great country will here-
after be controlled, and if in accordance with the
order of proceedings, I beg to propose your health.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, SEPT. 28.

The cloth-halls have been moderately well at-
tended by buyers this morning. The tone of the
market was quite firm and cheerful, and about an
average amount of business was done for Tuesday's
market. Mantle cloths and other light fabrics have
been in most request. There is no quotable change
in the price of either wools or cloths.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 28.

A quieter feeling has pervaded the market, but
prices have been firm, except in a few cases where
spinners have been coming out of orders and are
anxious to secure new contracts. In these cases
buyers have benefited to the extent of per lb.
This does not apply to coarse yarns, for which
spinners have heavy contracts, and are disinclined
to give way. Double yarns and fine wrappers are
in as great request as ever, and very firm in price.
In cloths the market has been heavy, especially for
shirtings and other goods suited to the India mar-
ket, and parties obliged to sell would have to take
3d. per piece less than the rates of Tuesday last.
The absence of the India mail at a period when
heavy transactions have been entered into is creating
anxiety, and though many commercial men anti-
cipate good advises by their next letters, there is an
unwillingness to enter upon new transactions before
they come. In domestics, long cloths, T cloths anit
prmters for home trade icre is no quotable difference
in prices, hut the whole tone of the market is
quieter. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :
" India and China goods of all descriptions have
been much neglected throughout the week. To-
day buyers still hold back as much as possible, and
the few sales of 40-inch shirtings which have been
made have been at a decline of about 3d per piece
on the extreme rates asked a week or ten days
ago, but at which very little business was done.
For other kinds the demand generally is of a less
active character, but F o far there is no giving way
in prices." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co.
report The tameness which we noticed last
week in the demand has subsequently become
daily more marked, and now affects yarns as well
as goods. To-day's market has been decidedly
flat, and prices are in many instances somewhat
lower."

The portrait of his Royal Highness the Prince
Consort, painted by Mr. Philip, was placed in the Aberdeen
Town Hall on Friday afternoon. - The li'kenes's is said to be
admirable. His Royal Highness is represented in the
Highland garb.
