Running and well bred racers In TINS particuiar,we
defy comparison. This country sxcels every other
in the quality Of its racehorses their speed and bot
tom. In England, whence formerly derived our
fine breed Of horses the horse has declined in
greater ratio than he has improved in this country.
This is owing altogether to the defective system of
training and running them there. In these respects
we have decidedly the advantage of England.
In other points they have also been at fault. The
blood Of the English horse has not been mixed enough
with the noble blood Of the Arabian and their mode
Of feeding horses is defective the food is too heavy,
too northumberland hence their racers, like their
ladies, appear large and FULL instead of possessing
slight but snewy and fine form, elastic vigor and
speed, and strength. The race horse should be cres-
sed ofener with the Oriental than is practsed at pre-
sent or he must detcrorate The system Of running
short distances in England is greatly to be depreca
ted the horses are not allowed proportionate
weight, and this has tendency to weaken the lons
of the animal that is full Of spirit thus Of the
best horses ruined before ever fair trial has been
given them.
In Scharley, Benthen, and Tarnowtz every day
several hundred horses can be who have
under gone treatment totally different from that
adopted with the English racer, and are without any
infrmities The plan is similar to that adopt in
this country. The horse undergoes plenty of vigor
bodily exercise when young, but is not allowed
to go the tart too early. The horses Of
Silesia and Arabia put to work when colts, and
the sooner they begin the more vigorous they turn
out. If proper care be taken with
shall continue surpass the world in speed strength,
and bottom. Mr. Bolts must make a selection from
our best horses and go to Europe soon, and get up
great national 1t would be worth all the trou-
ble and as we should triumph in the encounter, It
would be another laurel added to the rich crown
with which enterprise and skill has encrcled
the brow of the nation.
FRoM FRAscE.-The Poland has arrived with
French advices to the 30th of March inclusive.
There is nothing particularly interesting from Paris
Marshal Soult had attempted to form cabinet with
the Due de Brogle, Passy Human, Duperre, Sau-
yet, Duchatel, and M. Dupin or Guizot, but without
effect Passy, Sauzet, and Duperre refused to con-
form without Nj. Theirs.
From CHINA.-We have received late intelligence
from Canton, by the York. During the month of
December, and up to the 18th of January riots ran
wild amongst the Chinese, foreign residents, and
hong merchants. The opium trade has bred an awful
confusion in the affairs Of that remote section Of the
world. Notwithstanding the numerous edicts, fats,
and DEGREES from the Emperor and Governors, the
foreign merchants and particularly the British,
tnued to carry the illicit business Two coolies
who had been arrested, accused merchant,
named lnnes, OF sending money to w hampoa Tor the
purchase of opium, and implicated Mr. Talbot of the
house Of Talbot ELEPHANT Co Of this city, being
the importer Of it in the Thomas Perkins; In con.
sequence Of this information, Messrs. Talbot and
Innes were expelled and the matches Of the Thomas
Perkins were sealed down, notwithstanding the
gss,e, ,n Of innocence of Mr. Talbot. He said
which was the case. After this, the confusion
and rows increased, and all the foreign residents
turned out to prevent the execution OF several Chi
nese their ground or in their square. The Cover
nor was determined that the coolies should be
gled there, and nowhere else, and the consequence
was regular fight hetween the Chinese and foreign
ers. Stones few in every direction, the American
Consul hauled down his flag to insult, and
~ thing ran wild. On the 18th Of January, however,
affairs had taken qaite peaceablc turn, and trade
had recommended. Regulations were entered into
| relative to the opium trade Mr.. Talbot had re-
turned, and the matches Of the Thomas Perkins again
re opened, and ended Chinese riot. The stand
taken by the foreigners during the troubles was
rect, and will eventually result bene6ciay to their
| interests.
