THIRD Day, May 20.-The most delightful
weather favored the sport at New Market
Thursday. The attendance was livery fine,
though not so numerous as on Tuesday, day
which will long be remembered by every one
present, as affording the most exciting race
that was ever witnessed on the course. The
track had to great degree improved under
the evaporating influence of an unclouded
sky. and now had the appearance of having
absorbed but passing shower, instead of
being drencbed with a twenty four hours rain.
The race consisted of mile heats for the New
Market stake, which, added to the forfeitures
and declarations, amounted to 81 900 ; and OF
the twenty-five nominations, only two APP
peared in the feld-Messrs. T. a. T. w. Do

The season at New Market was brought to a
close on Friday. May II. with the long ex
pected Allen Plate Handicap race, single
dash of two miles and half-Sl25 subscrip-
ton, S75 forfeit, S25 declaration-which was
Immediately followed by race for mile heats.
Purse $3.50 with six entries.-The attendance
was immense, surprising greatly that of the
first day; the weather was decidedly beauti-
full; a cool breeze came from the west, and
brough with it tufts of those gay clouds which
impede but do not destroy the briliiancy of
the sun, rendering the day and the scene one
of SURPRISING loneliness. The track of course
was in excellent order. The excitement
among the betting gentry ran pretty high.
OF the thirteen entries in the Handicap, there
were five forfeits and two declarations six

Several very significant articles have ap-
peared Of late in the London Times upon the
failure Of the emancipation policy Of Great
Britain in the West Indies. From some in
timations thrown out BY the Thunderer il
would seem that the policy is being consider
ed Of transporting Sepoys to the West Indies
and making slaves of them. The Times ad !.
mits that these fertile islands, once gardens
Of beauty and luxurance, are becoming de-
serts in the hands Of the law and brutalized
negroes to whom British PHILANTHROPY has
left them. Experience has falsfied the pro-
phecies Of humanitarian Statesmen, and rem.
dered ridiculous the sentimentaites OF those
who busted themselves with so pious zeal
in loosing the bonds OF British slavery. The
alleged cruelties Of the saystem have ceased.
and that is all that has been attained. Says
the Times:
ION every other point predictions have
been falsifed and expectations disappointed.
The negro himself, though he has become
free, has not become wise or Industrious.
Our planters have not found that free blacks
make good laborers. Our colonies have not
risen in prosperity and affluence above the
slaveholdng colonies of other States, and ,
though the trade ID slaves have decreased
upon the whole, its vitality is so plain and
strong, that at this very moment we are
making considerable addition to the force
OF the African squadron. Everything, in
snort. has failed. except emancipation itself.
Negroes are free. but they are also brutaliz-
ed the West Indies have been ruined i'm
mense tracts Of the most productive soil in
world are left uncultivated for want of labor,
and other nations. discerning in our policy
warning rather than an example, are pushing
the opportunities Of slavery to the utmost,
and making fortunes over the heads Of British
colonists."

OPERATIONS AGAINST CANTON.


The London Times says:-" By the pre-
sent time probably Canton has been attacked
and captured. It has been determined to
make the dispute entirely local. Should the
Emperor answer the capture of Canton by
the expulsion Of the English traders from
Shanghai, then indeed matters will grow Sc
rious; but should he determine that the
Canton governor and mob have been Justly
punished, il is possible that hostilities may
be confined to the operations which were to
be commenced in the South. The British
force seems to be sufficient for the purpose
Of retribution at Canton. In few DAYS,
says our correspondent, I've may reasonably
expect to have seven hundred guns and seven
thousand men in these waters. OF the latter
we shall probably be able to land four thou
sand The blue jackets were being drilled
for service on land. We learn that the French
have also determined to resort to hostilties
against the Chinese. ltshould be understood
beforehand that such union is BY no means
analogous to combined operations in the
Crimea. There is no military convention.
Baron Gros has with him naval force from
which he can land six hundred seamen. He
has therefore resolved TO join in the opera
tions against Canton. Thus we shall have
the singular spectacle of two nations stimuli
taneously prosecuting hostilities against the
same people on different grounds, and with
out any formal convention or alliance. In
fact. the two expeditions NAV be looked upon
as entirely separate. IL is well understood
that the Americans are to retain their posi-
