Hibberd weighed for Mr. Harlan's Cincinnati, 3 yrs, 6st
121 b, but the horse did not get to the post in time to start.
Some delay was occasioned, and one false stars was made,
in which the Glenluce colt overpowered his rider, and ran
towards Mr. Bottom's farm. He then turned towards the
New Stand, passed over the_courseond made towards the
town: On reaching .the top stand he came into collision
with some posts which have been recently erected in most
dangerous positions, and fell, injuring himself severely.
The race admits of little description, for Actaeon took up
the running after going about 50 yards, and ran home an
easy winner by a length; 'half a length between the se-
cond and third ; Merry May was fourth, a length off;
Croquemitaine and Quick March were next. Soon after the
flag was dropped Timon ran out of the course, to the left,
and rejoined the beaten horses just before reaching the chair.

mediately afterwards challenged by the King of Diamonds,
who got up within a few strides of the chair, and won a
very fine race by a head ; three lengths off the Aunt
Phyllis colt was third, and close up with her were the
Virago colt and the Canezou colt; Dulcibella was beaten a
long way.

both York and Polonius were beaten, and Independence
and Starke ran home together, Independence having all the
best of it, and winning by half a length. Starke pulled up

For many years a " First October Meeting" has not been
so successful as that which. was brought to a conclusion
yesterday. The improvements which have been effected on
the course have given general satisfaction.

FIFTEEN SHIPS TO THE MILE.—The rapidity
with which gigantic vessels have been built within the last
few years is perfectly astonishing. It is not so long since
the line-of-battle ship Pennsylvania was quite a lucrative
" show " to the city of Norfolk, thousands going from all
sections to look at her ; then the Great Britain was for a
while the wonder of the world ; and the Great Republic,
Niagara, and Himalaya each, from its huge proportions,
attracted public attention for a while. The Journal of
Commerce has constructed a brief table, giving the princi-
pal dimensions of 15 of the largest vessels. Placed in line,
even without bowsprits, they could cover a space of one
mile in length. Subjoined are the names :---Great Eastern,
580 feet, 19,000 tons ; Adriatic, 390 feet, about 3,500 tons ;
Niagara, 375 feet, 4,580 tons ; Himalaya, 360 feet, 5,000
tons ; Duke of Wellington, 240 feet, 2,400 tons ; General
Admiral, 325 feet, 6,000 tons ; Orlando (recently launched
for the British navy), 337 feet, 3,727 tons ; Atrato, 336 feet,
3,476 tons ; Royal Charter (running " inside 60 days "
from Liverpool to Melbourne), 306 feet, 2,720 tons ; Great
Republic, 302 feet, 3,356 tons ; Pennsylvania, 300 feet,
3,241 tons ; Arabia, 300 feet, 2,402 tons ; Great Britain, 274
feet, 3,500 tons; Asia, 280 feet, 2,226 tons—total, 5,181
feet, 68,428 tons.—Boston (U. S.) Courier.
REPORTED SHIPWRECK AND GREAT Loss OF
LlFE.—Telegraphic advicis received yesterday in anticipa-
Von of the coming Australian mail report the total loss,
near Cape Northumberland, on the 6th of August, of the
screw steamer Ardmillan (supposed to be Admilla), from
Adelaide, whereby no fewer than 87 lives were lost, only 25
persons being saved.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--A frightful accident oc-
curred on Tuesday on board the screw steamer Tweedside,
Capt. Suckling, bound for Antwerp and Cronstadt, lying
at Gravesend. As the anchor was being let go something
was wrong with the cable, and the carpenter, Alexander
Henry, jumped below to rectify it, when the cable surged,
and carried the poor fellow with it nine times round the
windlass, grinding him to pieces, so that his remains had
to be taken ashore in a bag. Another of the crew had his
leg broken, and amputation was immediately resorted to.
Henry leaves a widow and three young children.

The freedom of the City of Aberdeen was on
Wednesday afternoon presented to Lord John Rus-
sell in the new Music-hall. The assembly at the
ceremony numbered_ considerably upwards of two
thousand, including a large number of ladies.
The LORD PROVOST (Webster) having in a brief
speech presented the burgess-ticket to the youngest
citizen, the distinguished guest of the evening,
Lord JOIIN RUSSELL came forward, bearing the
badge of citizenship on his head, amid great
cheering. Having acknowledged the honour con-
ferred upon him, his lordship dwelt at
considerable length on the question of reform.
He said that the true principle which should
guide us in an amendment of the law of the repre-
sentation of the people should be the choosing of
the fittest individuals in the community for the
privilege of the suffrage—that this principle could
be applied without endangering the stability of our
time-honoured institutions. Some men indulge?, in
the idea of a reorganisation of our political system,
but he could not pretend to have either thP, capacity
or the strength to undertake such a task. His
lordship then spoke as follows :—Having said thus
much upon these general principles, I must pass to
that subject to which the Lord Provost has truly
said my attention must • at this moment be chiefly
directed. It is my duty—a duty exceedingly hon-
onrable, but at the same time exceedingly onerous
—to take charge and give advice to her Majesty
upon the foreign affairs of this country. Well
now, gentlemen, I am not going to state, either
upon this or upon a domestic subject, anything of
a party nature ; because, with ',regard to the gene-
ral principles, upon which our foreign affairs should
be conducted; I listened last year to a speech of
Lord Derby, then Prime Minister, in the Mansion-
House, London, and there was nothing in that
speech from which I found it necessary to differ.
I believe that our affairs must always be conducted
with due regard to.the rights and independence of
foreign nations ; that the rule of doing as we would
be done by is not only a maxim of Christian morality,
but the rule of international conduct. " (Cheers.)
But, when we apply such 'rules, we find constitu-
tionally that having relations in every quarter of
the globe, there cannot fail to come from time to
time discussions and disputes, and even, it may be,
collisions with other nations. Now, gentlemen,
upon such occasions I think it is very necessary for
us to be temperate, to be patient, hut at the same
time not to do anything which should diminish the
feeling of self-respect which a nation, as well as an
individual, ought to maintain. (Cheers.) In short,
if we forbear, our forbearance should always be the
forbearance of strength, and -not the shrinking of
weakness. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, there is a
question on which I will venture to touch before
I conchide, because, though not one in which
we have taken an immediate part, it is one in
which I think evey Briton must
,take a deep in-
terest—l allude to that which has taken place, and '
is taking place, in Italy. (Cheers.) You will per-
mit me to refer to events of some time 'back; but 1
which area. clue to that which are happening at
the present moment. For centuries the Italian
people—a people rich both in commerce and agri-
culture—have, been subject to foreign Powers—
sometimes to the Germans, sometimes the French.
About 60 years ago a general, full of youth, full of
genius, full of capacity of every kind, both for war
and for civil affairs, entered Italy, and declared that
he came to give liberty to that people. The Italian
people were delighted—the whole of Lombardy was
sin a state of joy and ecstacy ; and although his
warlike operations were successful, yet for a time
it came to be that the French Government was the
Government of Italy, and in 1814 the people of
Lombardy were averse to that foreign dominion,
and earnestly desired a change. They applied to
an English general, Lord William Bentinck, as
honest a lover of liberty as ever existed ; they
applied to him, and they applied afterwards to the
English Minister, to learn what was to be their
fate. The English Minister told them that their
fate was very well settled—that the Emperor of
Austria had been kind enough to declare that he
would take charge of Lombardy ; and therefore he,
the English Minister, had only to refer them to the
Austrian Minister. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
Well, they have had this new Government up to
1859—t0 the present, time—and evei y yeaNtthey
became more and more averse to it. Wellf lam

not saying whether they werdjttstifted in their dis-
like of the French Government or of the lat. Aus-
trian Government—l am only telling you what was
the fact known to you all—no more. Well, it had
occurred some ten or twelve years ago to some men
of very ardent hopes and great literary talents, that
these foreign nations had not succeeded in attain-
ing the affections or confidence of the Italians—
that the Italians might as well govern Italy
themselves. It was a new notion, but not
a very unnatural one. In 1848-49 they
made the attempt. Unfortunately they succeeded
so ill that they gave people a great distrust of
their power of self-government ; hut the Emperor
of the French, having conquered Lombardy in the
present year, made a wise and magnanimous decla-
ration that he did not go to conquer Lombardy for
himself, but that the Italians should be the free
citizens of a great country. The Italians, not only
in Lombardy, but in Tuscany, Mogena, and Parma,
have acted upon this declaration, and they have
made temporary and provisional Governments for
themselves, declaring that they wish hereafter to
be the free citizens of a great country. (Applause.)
Well, I ask, has there been any mischief produced ?
Because I think, with regard to this matter of states
and nations regulating their own Government, it is
not very different from that of a man—say in this
city of Aberdeen—regulating his own house. (Ap-
plause and a laugh.) But, at the same time, it is
possible that a man may manage his house in such
a way as to be a great nuisance to his neighbours.
(Laughter.) For instance, he may start a pyro-
technic manufactory in his house, making experi-
ments to try his skill, and, it may be, sending up
sky-rockets into the air every evening in order to
see the effect. This would not seem to be agreeable,

because other householders might conceive That their
houses might be set on fire. Instead of wishing to
encourage the gentleman to do whatever he pleases
in his own house, the Lord Provost might be called

on to interfere with that gentleman because he was
likely to set fire to the houses ot his neighbours.
(Laughter.) But has anything of that sert occurred
in Italy ? Can any man say there is such a disturb-
ance of order at Milan, Modena, or Florence, that
the neighbours, the Austrians, or other neighbours,
are called upon to interfere. (Cheers.) Upon the
contrary, the conduct of this people, just emanci-
pated, who have been subject to foreign rule for
many years, who might have been expected to
burst into some excess—possibly some outrage
against the persons who are most odious to them—
they have conducted their matters with perfect
order—with such order as if they had been the
citizens of a country which had long been free.
(Cheers.) Well then gentlemen, I say, though
we can claim no credit for having enabled those
people to assert their freedom—although we
have been bystanders, and I think for very good
and sufficient reasons, have taken no part in the
hostilities of this s..ring ; yet, I think we are bound
to say, we do say, and we have said that, against
any interference of foreign force, to prevent these
people having their own government, and conduct-
ing their affairs as they like, we do most loudly and
solemnly protest—(loud cheers).-and, therefore,
gentlemen, be the terms of the treaty now nego-
tiated what they may—if, hereafter, consequent
upon that treaty, there shall be that of which you
have heard, no doubt, and which has been fre-
quently talked of, if there shall be a Congress of the
Powers of Europe—if it shall be the wish of those
Powers which have taken part in those hostilities
that in the final settlement of Italy and the ac-
knowledgment of the different States belonging to
it, the other Powers of Europe should take part in
these consultations, we might assist only upon one
condition, namely, that with respect to using foreign
force in order to compel fulfilment of the conditions
of peace, whatever they may be, so as not to inter-
fere with the right of the people of this country to
manage their own concerns—that if such should be
the object, or may be the result of such language,
England may stand apart and take no concern.
(Loud applause.) But, gentlemen, I feel convinced,
and such is the language, not of one of those Powers,
but of both those Powers, that whatever their opi-
nions may be as to what has taken place—and the
Austrian Government cannot be expected to approve
of the resolution in Modena and Tuscany—yet I
believe neither Power has any intention to interfere
by force with the decision of those peoples. I think
it a matter of great importance that it should be so,
because that system—which is rather disguised than
expressed by the phrase, the balance of power—that
system means that the different States shall be inde-
pendent; that they shall manage their own concerns;
and that no one State should have the preponder•
ance in Europe, or dictate what should be the
constitution, or what 'should be the internal
Government of the rest. And happy as we are
in this country in independence long acquired,
it is not only our interest, but I think it must be,
