THE DEBT OF INDIA.

SPORT AT SALISBURY.
Racing men required the week of comparative
leisure which they now enjoy, in order to prepare
themselves for the turmoil and excitement of the
Chester Meeting. The sport, however, which will
commence at Salisbury to-morrow, will possess
many attractions, and will draw a large number of
Southern turfitt sto the town. Every person that
has assisted at the gathering in that locality well
knows "how hard it is to climb the steep," on
which the race course is situated, for the supply
of conveyances is invariably much below the de-
mand, and the exorbitant charges which are made
for carriages and horses will be quite sufficient to
render the meeting "exclusive.'' The innkeepers
will I trust receive a friendly hint to regulate their
tariff in accordance with their accommodation.
From the Danebury and WcOdyates Stables the
meeting derives its chief support, and the brothers
Day will doubtless divide tae good things between
them. A prospect of six interesting races per diem is
presented, and only fine weather will be wanting to
confirm the success of the meeting. Schism showed
some form in the yearling race at Shrewsbury
last year, albeit the subsequent running of Tomboy
is calculated to detract from the merit of her per-
formance . Still I shall be surprised if either she
or the Trath colt be not the winner.
The running of Tame Deer for the Wiltshire
Stakes will be regarded with some interest, because
it will affect the position of Adamas in the Chester
Cup betting. The Deei's foem will be regarded as a
criterion of that of his stable companion, as report
states the two horses- were on Monday last triad
together. An opinion obtained that Tame
Deer would have won the Northamptonshire
Stakes had not so much use have been
teazle of him in 'the race. Sill be that as it
may I deem his running for that event quite good
enough for me .to place faith in his ability to win
the Wiltshire Stakes. Orchebill Will calve him
the moat trouble. The Fourth Biennial Stakes
will go to the representative of William Day's
stable. Happy Laud will have ro difficulty in
galloping away from anything that may be brought
out against hire, malgr6 his " 61be. extra "
Fur the Steward's Plate I shall select Claret and
Tricolour. The Craven Plate may be carried eff
either by Polly Johns,n or Heroine. Of the
starters for the Longford Stakes, I know nothing.
The Handicap Phee of 60 sous. seems likely to be
won by ember The Flying Englishman or Pin-
sticker. For the Lengleat Handicap my preference
must be recorded for Barbarity and. Little TI eas are.
The running for the Two Thousand is not likely
to bb forgotten until the result of the Derby deter-
mines the questions to which the .N ewmatket
event has given rise. The most frequently re-
peated query is, " Would Happy Land have won
if he had been ridden with more patience ?" This
question I cannot answer in the affirmative, for
despite the alleged rolling al-out of Fitzßoland, I
am induced to believe that, although a more closely
contested finish might have been afforded, the re-
sult of the race would not have been reversed.
The style in which Fitzßoland rushed through
his horses on descending the bushes hill,
and the manner in which he collared Happy.
Land hall-way up the cords convinced me that he
possesses speed and stoutness in an eminent degree.
Many persons aver that Fitz Roland—according to
his trial—is only 31bs better than his stable com-
panion Beadsman, and I will not attempt to de-
termine either the truth or the reasonableness of
this statement. With his limited stud Sir Joseph
Hawley is certainly fortunate to possess two such
animals as those which carried his cherry jacket and
black cap through in triumph last week. The
Darby seems as if it would resolve itself intoa match
between Sir Joseph's Hawley's horses and Mr.
Howard's, and each gentleman possesses a line by
which he may measure the pretentious of his
champion.
Clydesdale's performance at Newmarket inflicted
a heavy blow and sore discouragement on his party.
The horse seemed to me to be slow, and was
"chopped" by the severity of the pace before
going half-a-mile. Before the Two Thousand,
Clydesdale was, it is alleged, better than Sedttury,
but after it, Sedbury was said to be 10 lbs. better
than Clydesdale l The Peer never showed in the
race. Ido not wish to revive the unpleasant re-
min'scences connected with the scratching_ of Toxo
pholite—a proceeding which materially helped
certain books.
The Chester Cup bettingis settling down steadily,
but there really seems to be a probability that at
starting 8 or 10 to 1 will be the lowest offer on the
field. In my next communication I will discuss
the comparative chances and point out the "inci-
dents" of recent speculation.
The hor,eetamieg mania is spreading. Mr.
Rarey is a fortunate man, and seems to have hit
the caprice and fancy of the fashionable world. He,
however, waxes wrath with any person who pro-
fesses a knowledge of his "secret" without having
been initiated by himself. He seems to forget that
a person of long experience of horses may also have
discovered a treatment similar or equally efficacious.
He, however, repudiates indignantly the notion
that Mr. Cooke should profess a knowledge of his
plan, and has written to The Sun, promising one
thousand guineas if he can prove that he (Mr.
Cooke) can teach the Rarey system. In reference
to that letter, I h ye received the subjoined com-
munication from Mr. Goodwin, the eminent veteri-

Mr. Cooke, of A.stley's Amphitheatre k undertoo to
show
his audience the method which he and his
predechshrs
have always employed for taming horses, an shies
do e
and others well knew is the only one that either r:
Rarey or any other person can avail himself of togeta
horse down without assistance. The details may not be
the same as Mr. Rare 's, but the principle must be the
same, and has never been disputed. One of Mr. Rarey s
pupils has taken a lesson of Mr. Cooke, and he acknow-
ledged, although a bondman', that there was six of
one and half-a-dozen of the other. Ths masonic plan
has succeeded wonderfully to et rich Mr. Rarey, but it
will be long before he convincer others of his superior
powers in horsemanship,' the term he has made use of,
or that he can look further into a horse's int-lleot'
as has been asserted, than many Ef the unpretending
men who have had far more experience in teachins
horses than himself, and whose practical information
re
of those is
proved daily by performances in the Circus. We a
told Mr. Rarey uses no restraint ; yet I am one
incredulous persons who cannot be made to believebe-
he
can persuade a horse to lie down. Those who
lieve that he can do so have a far larger share of credulity
than, sir, your obedt. servant. "W. J. GOODWIN.

Before bring7ng my remarks to a close, I may re-
fer to the excellence of my selection for the Two
Thousand. Only one other public writer recom-
mended the chance of Fitzßoland to notice.

[ADYBRTISEXEST.]-It is over a pleasing duty of a journalist
to introduce to his readers some new discovery calculated to
benefit that vast portion of our fellow-creatures which has the
strongest claims upon our sympathies. It is with this feeling
that we call the attention of invalids to the following extracts
from Du Barry's interesting report of cures without medicine
of Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Flatulency, Constipation, Nervous,
Bilious, and Liver Complaints, Cough, Asthma, Consumption,
and Debility, by Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food :—Cure
No. 52,422.—Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854.—1 have
suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spit-
ting of 'Wood, liver derangement, deafness, singing in the ears,
constipation, debility, shortness of breath and cough, and
driving that period taken so much medicine that I can safely
say I have laid out upwards of a thousand pounds at the
chemists and doctors. Indeed I was in utter despair and
never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough to
become acquainted with your Revalenta Arabica, which,Heaven
be praised, restored me to a state of health I long sines despair-
ed of attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are
all right, my hearing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to
all my acquaintances.--JAMES ROBERTS, Wood Merchant.—

fessors of Chemistry: Dr. A Ure; Dr. Shorland; Dr. Harvey;
Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ;

Major Gen. Thomas King, and many other respectable per-
sons, whose health has been restored by it, after all other
means of cure had failed. Suitably packed with full instruc-

Some Parliamentary paperenn the debt of India,
moved for by Mr.;„Crawtord, were published yester-
day, which showed the total- liabilities of the -terri-
torial Government up to the beginning of the pre-
sent year. All the various notices issued by the
authorities during the last 24 years in connection
with the opening of new loans or the redemption or
conversion of old ones are likewise included in the
return. Among these the most important is the no-
tification put forth for the reduction of the FiVe
per Cents. into Four per Cents. in April, 1854, to
which the holders were led to assent by certain
flourishing representations of the condition and
prospects of the Treasury, and, which was followkl
in less than 12 months (Marsh, 1855) by a new pro-
peoal from he Government to borrow 2,750,0001.
at the -old rate of 5 per cent. This iresh loan was
called the Public Works Loan, and is not redeem-
able until 1870. It excited great indignation, since
the fact of the Goverum nt again corning into the
market to borrow on such terms of course caused a
terrible depfeciAtion in the property of those who
had believed any such prospect to be far distant,
and who, under that impression, had expected the
Four per Cents. to be maintained at or above par.
This transaction has been shown to have bad a
serious effect in damaging the financial prestige, of
the Company, and although an attempt was made
to repair the mischief in July last by au announce-
ment that the 4 per cent. paper would be received
to the extent of one-half in all subscriptions to a 5
per cent. luau, which wos then and is still open,
the recollection of it even at this time is thought to
exert a Prejudicial influence. Annexed is an abstract
