great body of the people were engaged. Well, if it
be so it augurs well for the cause, and I think it
should be known throughout every portion of the
kingdom, for I am satisfied, as Mr. Corbett has
said so justly, that the influence of yesterday will not
end yesterday, that it will not end with Glasgow and
the west of Scotland, but that it will be felt in every
portion of the United Kingdom. It is quite clear
that the movement in which we are engaged is begin-
ning to be, and has already assumed the proportions
of a national movement. What was done in London
three months ago augurs nothing as to what can be
done in London now, when those who are leading
the movement undertake to set it in motion again.
Birmingham is all alive, and if there were any oppo-
nents they were in holes and corners, out of sight;
but, in fact, in Birmingham there were very few to
oppose, and I must say oven of those who did oppose
thatthey did it with a moderation and rancour that
I have scarcely witnessed in any other part of the
kingdom. In Manchester the rain fell with a per-
sistent down-pour, as we say in Lancashire, from six
in the morning till four in the afternoon, and if there
had not been something as robust in politics as there
is robust io the health and characters of the working
men, it would have been impossible to have had on
that day the demonstration of numbers which there
was. In Yorkshire those who saw the procession
and saw the meeting say there has never been any-
thing_hlreit in the West Riding during the memory
of the oldest politician there. Well, if this matter
has assumed a national character, as I believe it has
assumed, may we not hope that before long it may
produce some great and decisive result ? I =going,
I suppose, within a fortnight. of this time, to pay a
visit to some kind friends of mine in the city of
Dublin. I have been invited to attend and become
the guest of certain persons who form a favourable
opinion of my political character at a public banquet.
(Cheers.) Irish questions will no doubtbe discussed
more than other questions which closely and imme-
diately affect the whole Empire ; but I believe the
whole Empire is deeply interested in what are com-
monly called Irish questions. I should like to tell
the Irish people that there is no disposition on the
Part of the people of Great Britain, whether of Eng-
land or Scotland, to do them injustice. (Cheers.)
The injustice they have suffered has been from the
governing classes in England and the governing
eld.lses-in Ireland. It has not been from the people
of the United Kingdom, and the more rapidly and
the more entirely the ration of the three kingdoms
is admitted to its fair share of Parliamentary power,
the more rapidly and the more completely will jus-
tice be done to Ireland, and justice also be as fully
done and secured to and for the whole people of the
United Kingdom. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I shall say
no more than that I have had singular pleasure in
coming to Glasgow on this occasion ; but I feel, as
you may suppose, very much happier the morning
after a great meeting than I do the morning before
it. Notwithstanding that I have had no little prac-
tice in public speaking, and no little familiarity with
the subject to be discussed, yet I feel a sense of a
very heavy responsibility,frhich I cannot shake off.
I have been placed in connexion with this question in
a very prominent position, altogether unsought for by
me. I have no anxiety to be a leader in politics or to
be lionized in great cities; but from my youth upwaT da
I have had a horror and hatred of that which is un-
just to the people. (Great cheering.) It was that
feeling which led me to join one of whom I cannot
speak without faltering voice in the great labour
in which we worked so long together—the abolition
of the monopoly of food ; and now, if I am engaged
more prominently than some men may think I ought
to be on this question, I would wish to join my
countrymen in striking down a monopoly of a wider
influence, and which when it is gone I believe (10 or
20 years afterwards) all thoughtful and good men in
the country will rejoice as much as those now rejoice
that the monopoly—the stupid and ignorant mono-
poly—of the landowners no longer limits the supply
of food to a great people. (Loud cheers.)
After some remarks from Mr. .sPLaren, M.P.,
and Mr. T. Potter, M.P.,
Mr. DALousii, M.P., proposed a vote of thanks
to Mrs. M'Laren and Miss Cobden for their attend-
ance. Alluding to the probability that the present
Government would introduce a Reform Bill next
session, he warned the people to be cautious how
they accepted it, feeling convinced it would not be
justice,
but with sincerity or from a sense of
but simply extracted by fear.
The proceedings were brought to a close by a vote
of thanks to the chairman.

The enormous popularity enjoyed by a successful jockey,
and the honour and almost worship bestowed upon him,
render such a calamity as this which has befallen Henry
Grimshaw an occurrence of very widespread interest.
Without disparaging Grimshaw's skill, he is principally to
be admired for his good fortune. His opportunities for dis-
playing brilliant horsemanship wnrenot equal to those of
his contemporary Challoner, whose riding of Macaroni in
the Derby, and of Caller Ou and Tho Marquis in the St.
Leger, may bo placed along with Custance's performances
of this year upon Lord Lyon, as in the highest class. There
is, however, no reason to suppose that Grimshaw was de-
ficient in that skill which the excellence of the horse ho
rode prevented his being called upon to display. The art of
a first-rate jockey is indeed worthy of the admiration
which it excites. Tho first of all qualities is nerve, which
must be combined with great physical power, that know-
ledge of pace which is perfected only by long practice, and
the prompt and sure judgment which measures exactly
and immediately the capability both of the jockey's own
horse and of its competitors. " The different phases of the
art, such as cutting dawn the field from end to end, get-
ting in front to stop the pace, making the running up to a
certain point, and then letting yourself be headed, and
coming again; lying away from your horses if you are on
one which cannot be hurried, and creeping inch by inch
to them before the pace becomes too great"—these are'
matters which are thoroughly understood only by the con-
summate horseman, who has improved his natural talent
for jockeyship by extensive practice. The foregoing pas-
sage is quoted from one of the popular works of the
" Druid," who has done so much to collect and preserve
the traditions of the great exploits of the two Chifneys
" Sam and Sam son," of Buckle, Robinson, Butler, Marson,
Templeman, Flatman, and others of the generation before
our own. The same writer carries us back to the cradle of
modern jockeyship in Yorkshire more than 100 years ago.
Thomas Jackson, of whom it is written upon his tomb-
stone that " he was bred up at Black Hambleton, and
•
crowned with glory at Newmarket," was a type of many a
hardy youth, who learned riding in the North and turned
his skill to profit in the South. The earliest jockey of whom
existing tradition speaks was John Singleton, who was
born at Pocklington in Yorkshire, in 1715. Dick Goodisson
found his way from Selby, in the same county, to New-
market, where he was employed by the Duke of Queens-
berry. Ho had two sons brought up to his own profession ;
a story is told of one of thorn which may be appropriately
recalled to memory in connection with Grimshaw'saccident.
His horse flung him at the post, and when ho had gathered
himself up ho said, " There's for you! That's the grand
jockey Tom Goodisson. If it had been a horse-dealer's cad
he'd never have been flung that way." If Grimshaw had
allowed his groom to drive the dog-cart it might have car-
ried him safely home. Clift, who also was Yorkshire-bred,
used to be engaged during the winter months to ride from
Liverpool to London, to carry the numbers of winning
tickets in the Irish lotteries. Bill Arnull found wasting a
sore burden, but "in a moment of enthusiasm he performed
the unrivalled feat of knocking off 71b. in one day." David
Jones began life as a post-boy, riding with horn and saddle-
bags in London. Then followed a stable apprenticeship
under Chifney, senior. Afterwards he served all through
the Peninsular war as bead groom to a general, and came
back to train and ride once more. Blindness and other mis-
fortunes brought him to Chelsea workhouse, where ho
died. Billy Pierse was wont to say, by way of review of
his own career in the saddle, "I've done as many as have
done me." He used to visit his master, the Duke of
Cleveland, at Baby, and dine with him every day for a
month, but lie told his friends, "I never forgot that I was
Billy Pierse." He was poisoned by a draught sent to him
by a doctor's assistant in mistake. When told what must

Ldoierdbefore
one's time." Everybody has heard the story of Lord Pal-
merston's trainer going to look for him in the House of
Commons, and saying to the policeman at the door, "I'm
John Day." A good story is told of Bill Scott and Sim
Templeman, each playing a waiting game at Doncaster,
when Scott bogged his rival to leave off walking and at
least to trot, and a friend at the rails proposed to bring pipes
and something hot for the pair. The brothers Scott, who as
trainerand jockey carried so many prizes home to Melton,
were instructed by Croft of Middleham. It would not be
superfluous to speak of the training principles of the vete-
ran John Scott. His brother, William Scott, was in his
best day equally masterly in the saddle ; and although in
later years he did not ride races as ho had been used to
do in his prime of power, his judgment in riding trials
was to the last infallible. This place—Middleham, in
Yorkshire, where the Scotts learned their art—was the
home of John Osborne, the master of the unfortunate
Grimshaw. The deceased jockey was engaged to ride
Gladiateur in France. The horse ran in his old
form and won, but the jockey whose name will always be
associated with his was lying still in death, and awaiting the
day appointed fox' carrying him to his
grave in Yorkshire.
When another " Druid" of the next generation shall collect
the traditions of Middleham and Newmarket, he will meet
with no more melancholy story than that of poor Harry
Grimshaw, whose youth was full of promise, as his man-
hood of performance, and who, after gaining easy triumphs
on "the best horse of modern times," was thrown into a
ditch and killed in attempting to drive a horse which pro-
fessionally ho would have disdained to ride. Another
jockey will now wear the red and blue of Count Lagrange~
and although a skilled horseman may be found to rePla°e__
Grimshaw, it is likely to be long before the stable Prod.

A paper called the Sunbeam has just been started
by the convicts in the State Prison at Trenton, N.J. The
Newark Advertiser remarks that it is not generally known
that inmates of that prison furnished prose and poetry for
a certain campaign paper published in New Jersey not
many years ago, and it thinks it recognises the style of one
of those contributors in some verses in the Sunbeam. The
editor states that, with but a single exception, his is the
only paper ever issued from a prison cell in any State of
the Union.--New Fork Times, Oct. 1.

instituted against the Gazette de Lausanne by the Hon. E.
A. Barris, her Majesty's representative at Berne, for a false

editor of that journal has since contradicted and apologised
for the libel, and that in consequence all further proceed-
ings will be abandoned.
