.Meicorie Phenomenon.-Yesterday moi

.Meteo,'ie Phenonenon.-Yesterda naof- ming, before day-break, singular phenom- enon was observed in the heavens. Through out the night, an unusual number of what are commonly called shooting stars were visible, but still these coruscations were not so numerous as to excite more than a passing remark At about half past four o'clock in the morning, however, they in- creased so much in magnitude and frequen- cy, that the whole Armament appeared in motion, and they shed light around like that of early dawn. The spectacle thus presented was certainly extraordinary and brilliant; but still, and we speak from per- sonal observation, not such as to justify a most inflated paragraph which has just fall en under our eye in an evening paper There was nothing remarkable in the wea- ther at the time: it was pleasant night, as cool as nights generally are at this season of the year.-.N.

 CeateruiHe Trottiag Course, Long ISf- and-.Mateh against I1faie.-PAuL PRY, horse ominous for "dropping h." was matched against time, to trot seventeen miles and three-quarters under the saddle within the hour. He went of yesterday in gallant style, and trotted IS miles, without breaking, in fifty-nine minutes and one se- cond, with apparent ease, stopping thirty seconds, performing his last mile Ill the least time of any during the match.
 This may be considered the greatest time for the same distance, upon record, and those who were disposed 10 FRY into the trottlng propensihes of PAUL, found their purses considerably minus, in their want of confidence in his speed.
 A MATCH, one mile, and repeat under the saddle, for ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will take place on the above course this day, from one to two o'clock, P, M., be- between the celebrated horses GATo and COMET. The known bottom of the one and the acknowledged speed of the othef, will insure great sport, as the former, like his name-sake of old, will ondeavor to NSOp HID 9t1te Oe3tetet3 Ni4Ho HIS "gtstaott will be the winning post before him.
 Immediately aiter purse will be given to the proprietor, Mr. Joel Concklin, two miles, and repeat, under the saddle, free for all horses, never having won purse to exceed one hundred dollars.
 NEw YORK, Nov. 1.-Races-LAsT DAY.-Alice Grey, Black Maria, Trine and Priam, were entered for the purse Alice Grey was the fayorite against the field, heavy bets being made upon her A general disappointment was experienced, the sport being inferior. Black Maria was distanced in the first heat. The cause can not be surmised; and the result of the race was rather unexpected, as the day be- ing cold and raw, vas rather disadvai1- tage 10 the southron, whose best TIME has been made in more sunny cline; but to him they Were ''trifles light as air,s as the end proved. Alice took the lead in the first heat, with slight struggle from Black Maria; who fell back, when Trife shot forth gallantly, and took the lead from Alice, and won the heat with ease in I'm.

then just been sold by Col. Thomas Robinson

Extract of a letter dated.


LONDON, May, "a, 1888
The great question of negro slavery
came before the House on Tuesday last,
and was opened by Mr.. Stanley, who
Whatever may De mis- Diunuers and fooIe-
ries in other respects as a statesman, is
certainly a good stalker" His speech,
it must be confessed, was an able, and
considering the many complicated! diff
culties which surround the settlement of
this mighty question, fair one. The
conditions, which form the basis Of the
bill about to be introduced, appear to be
conceived in fairness and humanity.
though it should be stated, are very far
from being popular with the extreme of
either party.
The Negrois forever free from tor
ments of the whip-lrom the caprice,
brutality, and rage of overseers and dri.
vers, and from all the horrors of arbitra-
ny power. His children, to deliver whom.
from the condition ofBondsmen, is known
to be the first object of the slave in all
countries, will be emancipated without
money and without price-they will be
educated at the expense Of the state. and
htted Tor a new career of liberty and
honor-the recompense of the declininp
days of the injured father. In period
OF twelve years, he himself, will be deli.
vered from the last link of the chain Of
slavery, while an immense, but gradual
change is in the interval to be made in
4 his condition.
\ A few years of compulsory labor, thus
worked out by the slaves, not matter Of
SO much hardship, when that labour is
recompensed with real protection by the
laws OF the land and by certainty of an
early delivery from fate which has
hitherto never been cheered by one raw
of hope, and from which the Negro has
seen no rest, but in the grave.
The chief obstacles TO the ministerial
. plans will arise from the unwillinpness
OF the People and the Parliament of Eng
land to sanction the grant of Ell 900, 900
Tor the proposed lcaaaa 10 tic IVES; Ind;
Planters, who truth to say, are in thi.
country very unpopular body. Altoge

the West Indians themselves, expected

Isles, has been SO loud, and deep, ane
general, that no wise government could
longer safely delay its settlemet.
