SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—The Home Secretary has exercised a
wise discretion in prohibiting the use of Hyde-park
for a demonstration in favour of reform. After the
meetings in Trafalgar-square, the leaders of this
movement thought fit to summon the working
classes of London and of the provinces to meet on
the evening of the 23d inst. in Hyde-park—a place
devoted to the recreation and amusement of the
people. Addresses and proclamations have been
issued, inviting large numbers of persons to form
processions and march through the streets, accom-
panied by bands of music. They are to come from
all parts of London, to concentrate in the park, and
there to make this demonstration. Now, we believe
there is no man of sense in the country who at all
fears the political effect of these gatherings. We
have not, indeed, much respect for them. The con-
gregation of a large number of idle people round a
platform, from which the voice of the speaker can
only rea3h a favoured few who have the best places,
seems to be no very useful or impressive political
act. Monster meetings belong to a bygone state of
society, when an ignorant populace followed some
fanatical or designing leader ; they are totally
unsuited to the haits of our own time, and to au
age when the discussions of the press and the pro-
ceedings of legitimate public meetings effectually
control public opinion. It may be assumed that a

gathering which, taking the name of a meeting, is
unable to hear the speakers it surrounds can
serve no useful purpose. We had num-
bers of these assemblages in the old time
of discontent early in the century, and since then
the Chartists have flocked by thousands to support
their favourite leaders, and the Irish peasantry by
tens of thousands to gaze at a distance on the figure
of O'Connell. But it is a remarkable feature of all
these agitations that they had hardly any effect on
real, sober, public opinion. They created distrust,
they filled the middle class, who in this country ul-
timately govern, with disgust, and gave the more
supercilious among the educated an argument
against popular control. We assert with confidence

tliat a further Reform of Parliament might have
followed more closely on the Act of 1832 had it not
been for the extravagances of Feargus O'Connor
and his associates, and that there would have been
a better disposition to listen t 5 the complaints of
Ireland had not the gifted but reckless agitator who
led its people assumed the threatening attitude of
one who wielded a multitude at his will. If the
promoters of these " demonstrations" have any re-
gard for the success of the cause they preach, they
will do well to avoid creating alarm in any part of
the community. The largest and most influential
section-of the public will only be alienated by the
spectacle of thousands of idlers collected by flags
and music in order that their numbers may be
paraded as a proof of the physical strength of
the Reformers. The objections to these gather-
ings are independent of the intentions of the
promoters or of the multitude itself. We have
no fear that the leaders of the movement, or
those who attend with a real political purpose, will
attempt any breach of the peace. But it is idle to
suppose that Mr. Beales, or his colleagues or the
members of the local committees, or the bona fide
reformers can control the multitude they bring toge-
ther. Their avowed object is to summon every Lon-
doner, high or low, whom music, processions, and
banners can attract. The greater the number of
the people whom they can attract to the Park the
greater will be the success of their " demonstra-
tion." The conclusion is unavoidable. If the Park
were given up to such purposes as the reformers
contemplate, it would simply be a gathering place
for a disorderly crowd, the greater part of whom
would know nothing and care nothing about Re-
form, but would make the place intolerable for per-
sons seeking recreation. Nor can there be any
guarantee that \scenes of violence may not occur.
We entirely acquit the leaders who organised the
late meetings of the disorderly acts of the crowd,
yet such acts were committed. When a still larger
multitude is brought together, who can say that there
may not be a sufficient proportion of evildoers and
vagabonds to cause a serious breach of the breach ?
For these reasons we think Mr. Walpole is justi-
fied in prohibiting the meeting in Hyde Park on
Monday next, and we are glad to see that in this
he is supported by Sir George Grey, who, in fact,
gave the original directions to Sir Richard Mayne.
THE "ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES." - After a

long and wearisome delay an appropriation has
at last been made by Congress for the ex-
penses connected with the exhibition of American
products in Paris in 1867. This appropriation, at
the moment when all other nations have completed
their arrangements, and, in many instances, have
actually commenced their specific work, loses half
its interest and value. Had the manufacturers and
mechanics of the United States been positively in-
formed some six months or a year ago that an
opportunity would have been afforded them for a
fair competition with the Old World, their energies
would have been awakened and new ideas developed
which would prove to the immense ultimate gain
of the entire country. But with the feeling that
political prejudices in Congress might prevent any
action whatever the matter has been allowed to
drop, and scarcely any interest has been shown
throughout the country. There is now but six
months' time in which to organise the committees
and juries for selection from the different classes
and articles as shall most perfectly develope
the advance in invention in the United States.
These committees have really all the hard work to
do, and it is to them we must look for such a repre-
sentation as shall do the nation justice. The great
point to be considered is what articles will best
indicate the resources of the United States, and its
ability to rely upon the inventive industry of its
mechanics and manufacturers. To prove this it
does not require that there shall be sent fifty diffe-
rent patterns of pianofortes or steam engines at an
enormous expense for freight and for room in the
Exhibition building ; but that from these fifty one only
shall be selected, which, in the judgment of a proper
committee or jury, is pronounced the best. America
can thus show au exhaustive representation of the
best articles of every description, and thereby com-
pete favourably with other nations. In France and
England a system of prizes has been adopted in
advance of the Great Exhibition, so that the
greatest merit and improvement in any one class
can be insured. All European nations are looking
upon this as a new field of strife, in which peace-
fully they may compete for success, and by the
strong interest awakened, the workmen, even in the
most distant localities, are busily preparing
them-
selves to distance their natural rivals. Much is ex-
pected from the United States. With the very
limited experience in former exhibitions the result
has been so favourable to American ingenuity that
now some great developments are anticipated, for
which the country has not really the time to pre-
pare. In natural products alone, however, if each
State is properly organised, such a display can be
made as will outshadow the Old World. The
minerals, woods, soils, grains, fruits, and vegetables
forwarded from each State, and properly classified
with the proper information to emigrants as regards
cultivation, cost of living, climate, &c., would alone
more than repay the entire expense assumed by Go-
vernment, and perhaps prove to those Western mem-
bers of Congress who have opposed the appropria-
tion the special advantages to be gained by their own
constituents by the Universal Exhibition of 1867.
The various improvements in the preservation of
fruit and vegetables will enable California to make
such au exhibit in that line as will astonish the
world. When we come to Mechanics and Manufac-

tures it simply requires the united energies of the
various committees upon the several classes to push
forward by a proper competition and a rivalry as
shall insure the best machine or invention being
sent over. Upon the result we can simply rest.
In manufactures America has the ability to prove
its superiority in carpets, silks, cutlery, watches,
electro-plated ware, and many other articles which

it is now importing at an enormous expense. If
this exhibition settles the point that the United
States has within itself the power to manufacture
as well and as cheaply the bulk of the articles now
imported, the country will have gained in this way
more than the cost to the Government of exhibiting.
The bill appropriating the amount of $156,403 re-
ceived a final thrust as it left the hands of the
committee the word coin being struck out,
leaving the expenses increased by the neces-
sary purchase of gold for all payments in Europe.
It is to be hoped that the idea of sending the
articles in a national vessel will be given up, both on
the point of economy and in a proper care of the
articles themselves. A contract could- be made
with a responsible shipping-house in New York, by
which the sending of the goods could commence at
an early date, and be in gradual process of arrange-
ment in the Exhibition Building during the winter,
in place of ' letting the entire collection arrive at
Havre at a late date, with no time in which to do
justice to the arrangement. All these matters will
doubtless be carefully considered by the proper
parties. The section of the bill which appropriates
$lO,OOO for the expenses of ten scientific men is
open to just criticism. The total amount appro-
priated would be about enough in gold to pay the
expenses of one competent man to devote the proper
time to his duties in this connection ; and it is most
sincerely to be hoped that some change shall be
made in this direction. It would be well for each
State to have its own representative empowered to
make a report upon such special matters as would
be of interest to its own welfare.

Special news from St. Paul report the discovery
of more very rich mines at Vermillion Lake. Thousands
are rushing to the new ladorado.

SPORTING INTELLIGEN OE,

STAMFORD RACES-FRIDAY.

This interesting gathering on Lord Exeter's estate was
brought to a close to-day under highly advantageous cir-
cumstances, the weather being glorious, the attendance,
though somewhat short of yesterday, numerous, the fields
of a fair average strength, and the sport excellent. The
aristocratic element was in strong force, the carriages of
several noblemen lining the course. The stand was exten-
sively patronised, and that part devoted to the ladies was
well filled. There were seven events set down on the card
for decision, and the races terminated shortly after five
o'clock. Appended is a return of the sport :

(H. Covey) 3
Betting-11 to 10 on Elland, 6to 5 agst Tormentor, and
20 to 1 agst Brother to Guerilla. Tormentor took up the
running at a slow pace, and on passing the stand the first
time was about three lengths in advance of Elland ;
Brother to Guerilla at this early period of the race being
a dozen lengths in the rear. On the far side of the course
Tormentor increased her lead, and improved the pace as
she reached the straight, having a lead of at least four
lengths as they passed the stand for the final circuit of the
course, although Elland was pulling double and going as
well as his backers could desire. As they approached the
turn for home Elland gradually decreased the lead of Tor-
mentor and a fine race was anticipated, but Elland,
although he managed to reach the mare's quarters, was
outstayed, and Tormentor, drawing away at the half dis-
tance, won, amid some excitement, by two lengths. Bro.
to Guerilla was tailed off.

delay at the post they started in pretty good order, except
The Tartar, who whipped round when the flag fell, and
was left at the post. After taking a few strides Trapeze
held a clear lead, which he increased to half-a-dozen
lengths after going 150 yards; Cecrops, on the extreme
right, was second, followed by Warrior, Pantaloon, Redan,
Knight of St. Michael, and Confederate, in a cluster, the
others, in somewhat straggling order, being whipped in by
Skirmish. Approaching the distance Cecrops made his
effort, and got within a length of Trapeze, but sho and
Redan were soon beaten, and Warrior and Pantaloon went
on in pursuit of Trapen, who, however, won in a canter
by three lengths. Pantaloon finished a length in rear o f
Warrior, Molly Carew was fourth, The Clown and La Me-
chante close together next, followed by Historian and
Furze Chat% The rear division comprised Confederate,
Cecrops, Redan, and Skirmish, the latter being the last

CHRISTOPHER NORTH SHAMMING NIGHTMARE.—
It is impossible to give a more graphic illustration of
this, says a writer in the London Review, in reference to the
rapidity of our dreams, than by recounting one of the ex-
periments which the "Shepherd" performs upon the sleep-
ing Christopher North in one of the early Noctes
Ambrosiange." " There noo," says Mr. Hogg, I bee dropped
some cauld water ou his bald pow, and it's tricklin' doun'
his haffets to his lugs. Whist ! wait a wee ! There noo,
ye see his mouth openin' -and his chest beavin',
as if the waters o' the deep sea were gullaring
in his throat—he's noo droonin." Mr. Ambrose remon-
strates against this experiment, but the Shepherd pro-
ceeds with it. " Hand back, sir; look how he's trying to
streik out his richt leg as if it had gotten the cramp. He's
trying to cry for help. Noo he's risin' to the surface for
the third and last time ; noo he gives over strugglin' and
sinks doun to the brown-ribbed sand amang the crawling
partens." And the same experiment is tried by tighten-
ing Christopher's necktie, whereupon he goes through all
the circumstances of being hanged; and only a fight be-
tween the performers prevents a rehearsal of the guillotine
by the aid of the carving knife. Indeed, the whole pro-
cess is a triumphant success, only Mr. North unfortunately
lets out, a little later, that he has been awake all the time.

names of gentlemen who have passed their examination in
the science and practice of medicine, and received certifi-
cates to practise, on Thursday, July 19 :—John Joseph
Bingham, Stavely, Derbyshire ; Peter Harding, Shrews-
bury ; George William Mousley, Athertone ; altd Henry

IRISH RAILWAY COMPANIES.— Copies of two
Treasury minutes, dated May 24 and June 15 respectively,
have just been published. They show that deputations of
noblemen and gentlemen interested in Irish railways have
waited on Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone and on the
Secretary of the Treasury, asking that her Majesty's Go-
vernment would assist them in the difficulties caused by
the monetary crisis. The Public Works Loan Commis-
sioners were instructed to advance £500,000, at a rate of
interest not less than 4 per cent., and on security which
should be sufficiently satisfactory to them.

THE AUTOGRAPH NOTE BOOK OF ADDISON, con-
taining portions of essays contributed to the Spectator,
which was so much canvassed in the public journals two
years ago, was disposed of at the conclusion of a recent
sale of MSS., and realised twenty-six guineas. Only a
short time since this identical volume was sold by a Lon-
don dealer in old books for seven shillings !

THE OATHS COMMISSION.—The Right Hon.
Russell Gurney, Q.C., Recorder of the city of London, and
the Right Hon. Horatio Waddington, Under-Secretary of
State for the Home Department, have been placed on the
Oaths Commission of Inquiry, in roam of the Right Hon.
Lord Stanley and the Right Hon. Spencer Horatio Walpole,
who have resigned, being prevented by other duties from
attending the meetings of the Commissioners.

A DELICATE CREATURE.—The dandy brother,
says a London Reviewer, in writing about the genus of
brothers generally, wears an eye-glass, and latterly a tooth-
pick ; swells have been known to catch cold when going into
a draught without a tooth-pick.

TRIALS OF BREECH-LOADERS. —Lord Ranelagh
will throw open Beaufort House and grounds, Walham-
green, on Friday next, the 27th inst., at 2 o'clock, for an
exhibition of breech-loading fire-arms. Inventors and the
public are invited to attend.

WHAT'S IN A NAME.--Mr. Bugg, the innkeeper
of Yorkshire, was really precipitate when he exchanged his
noble surname for that of Howard, for Mr. Isaac Taylor tells
us, in his " Words and Places," that Howard is merely the
shortened form of " Hog-warden !" Guardian.
SUPPLY OF NEEDLE Gus TO ITALY BY PRUSSIA.
—The Augsburg Gazette states that Prussia has sent 20,000
needle guns to Italy, with the secret of the cartridges ;
30,000 more are to follow.

THE WEATHER AND THE CnoPs.--.The harvest
has commenced in the neighbourhood_ of Stamford, Mr.
Close, of Barnack, having cut a field of oats which were
quite ready for the scythe. The hay crop in the neigh-
bourhood of Caistor, Lincolnshire, has been generally se-
cured in good condition. The crops are generally good.
A new watering-place, to be called Ocean City, is
being started on the beach some miles north of Atlantic
City.

We take the following from the Pittsburg Mining
Journal:—" Nashville, Tennessee: Juno 23,1866.—We did
not in our last say all we intended to about the manufac-
tures in Kentucky, but the geography and geology is so
identical with that of its neighbour Tennessee, its mineral
products, soil, water courses, and channels of trade so
similar, that we thought it appropriate to embody in this
article a discussion of manufactures in both Status. Ten-
nessee has an area of 85,600 square miles. Her popula-
tion in 1860 was 1,109,847, an increase of ten per cent. in
ten years. 1 The density of her population is 24.12 to the
square mile, and her ratio to the total population of the
country 3.65 per cent. The population subsists chiefly on
agriculture, though manufactures are carried on to some
extent. It may not be generally known that in 1840
Tennessee was the third state in the Union in the amount
and value of her manufactures, New York and Pennsyl-
vania alone surpassing her. The mineral area of Ten-
nessee is not definitely nor even approximately known.
During the last thirty years the subject lias received
no attention. It was left for the cruel war' and the
Yankee faculty for seeing things to demonstrate the
actual resources of Tennessee, and the more inquiry the
greater number of acres that are daily being added to the
mineral area of the State. This much is known ; the
valleys of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, and the
valley of East Tennessee, contain accessible and inexhaust-
ible mines. The extent of this area must be fully 10,000
square miles. Prom the known character of formations
in the other parts of the State, it seems safe to conclude
that Tennessee has minerals extensive and valuable
enough to make her the first State in the South, in her
facilities for mining and manufactures. The minerals
found in Tennessee aro iron, coal, copper, petroleum,
gypsum, alum, nitre, lead, silver, zinc, copper, 'salt, salt-
petre, marble, and hydraulic limestone. Their location
may be determined by the geological divisions running
from north to south.

There is a legend that one day a woman went to
Brigham Young for counsel, touching some illegal oppres-
sion by an officer of the Church. Brigham, like a true
politician, assumed to know her ; but when it became ne-
cessary to record her case, hesitated, and said. "Let me
see sister, I forgot your name." "My name! " was thel

the control of Irishmen, will be made to blossom as the
rose and become a garden spot.' u

Anti-Slavery Deputation.

On Saturday last a deputation from the commit-
tee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society
waited on Sir John P. Grant, K.C.8., Governor of
Jamaica, at 29, Lancaster-gate, Hyde-park-gardens,
for the purpose of presenting an address in relation
to the affairs of the island. The deputation con-
sisted of the following gentlemen :—Messrs. Wil-
liam Allen, Robert Alsop, Joseph Cooper, Sydney
Cooper, the Rev. Dr. Massie, Frederick Wheeler,
Thomas Harvey, William Brewin (the two last-
named being the deputation to Jamaica from the
Society of Friends), William Morgan (late special
correspondent in Jamaica of the British and Foreigrt,
Anti-Slavery Society), and L. A. Chamerovzow.
The address called attention to the recent lament-
able events on the island, and expressed a strong
hope that his Excellency would be enabled to bring
about a better state of things.

Sir J. P. GRANT read the following reply :
" Gentlemen, I thank you for the address which
you have done me the honour to present to me, and
for the papers containing information on particular
points which you have been so good as to place in
my hands. In every public office that I have held
it has been with me a paramount object that all
classes of my fellow-subjects should meet with
equal justice, and that all interests should be
treated with the fairest and most liberal considera-
tion in matters both of legislation and administra-
tion. lam convinced that the permanent good of
every class is best consulted when justice is
done to all classes. It will be in the West, as it
was in the East, my earnest endeavour to carry this
principle into practice to the best of my ability. You
will not expect me now to offer any opinion or to
enter into any discussion upon the several questions
you have brought to my notice, many of them ques-
tions of difficulty and great importance. I can now
only promise that, so far as may depend upon me,
these shall have such full and mature consideration
as they deserve. My province is to deal with the
future rather than with the past ; but it may be open
to me to make a remark on one of the subjects to
which you have alluded—the deplorable events of
last October. Nothing could have justified or ex-
cused armed insurrection and massacre. It must
always be the first object of every Government to
suppress, on the instant, such commotions as those
which have taken place in Jamaica; and exem-
plary punishment must always be expected to fall
upon the most guilty of those concerned. If
evils and defects of administration anywhere
exist, they become only more difficult of
cure when order and subordination to law-
ful authority are disregarded by any class of the
community. If any person can succeed in impres-
sing the negro population with this principle, I can-
not but think that a great good would be effected ;
and perhaps, gentlemen, it may be in your power,
through your just influence with friends in the
colony, to assist in the good work. Am I asking
too much if I ask for your help in the matter? I
believe it is only by the hearty co-operation of all
parties that any speedy improvement can be ex-
pected in the condition of all classes in Jamaica ;
and for such co-operation no one would be more
grateful than myself."

Mr. JOSEPH COOPER said he wished to refer to that
portion of his Excellency's reply which bore upon
the recent riots. The committee had never shrunk
from condemning the acts of violence committed by
the rioters, but, on the contrary, had denounced
them from the first as deserving of punishment ;
and if no reference to this condemnation appeared
in the address, it was because the committee had
so many times, and under so great a variety of
circumstances, recorded their views on this point.
They wished to be understood as having no sym-
pathy whatever with those who had been guilty
of infringing law and order.

Messrs. Harvey, Morgan, Brewin, Alsop, and
Dr. Massie having addressed the Governor on par-
ticular points,

Sir JOHN GRANT said that both with reference to
these, and to the others more particularly specified
in the address, he could but renew his assurance to
the deputation that they should receive his best at-
tention.

The deputation then withdrew, the interview hav-
ing lasted an hour.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been rather more
activity. A large business has been done in sugar
at enhanced prices. Coffee also has been in in-
creased demand,good qualities having brought higher
prices. In rice, fruit, tea, and spices, there has
been no material change, while tallow has been dull
and generally a shade cheaper.
A lady in Concordia, Illinois, was very sick a
few days ago, and her physician decided that squirrel soup
was necessary for her. A request was at once sent to all
the men in town to shoot a squirrel for her, but there was
not a man to be found in the town willing to do this simple
act for an invalid. A country girl, who happened to be in
the neighbourhood, heard of it, shouldered a rifle, and
re-
turned in about half an hour with four squirrels—tacitshot through the head.
