TIE RESULT OF THE DERBY-UPRE BADLY
BEATEN.-we publish today sone account of
the great Derby race, In which Mr.. Ten Broeck's
horse Umpire was considered to stand well to
win, but came to the post behind ten compea-
tors. Umpire being an American horse, and
having an extended reputation for speed, the
race attracted great deal of attention here
and its result will be Notifying to great
many persons whose national pride induced
them to invest their money on the animal
They should have known, however, for the
statement has been made over and over again,
that Mr.. Ten Brock did not take his horses to
England for the purpose of vindicating the re-
putation of the United States in an equine
point Of view. His business ID to win money
on the turf, and be runs his horses to suit his
betting book II he could do better BY max.
ing Umpire come in eleventh than by getting
him in first, then eleventh he would assuredly
be, the glory Of the American eagle, the In
vincibility of the star spsngled banner, the re-
collections of our Revolutionary heroes, pa
triots and ssees, the Fourth of July, the Eighth
of January, and 90 on, to the contrary, not
withstaDd'Dg.
Mr.. Ten Brock is dealing with set Of gam
blers, and probably plays their game. 1t is
notorious that there is nothing like fair play in
the English betting ring, and nothing is more
common in the higher circles Of turfmen than
the remark, "Oh! there's too much money bet
against that horse for him to VIM" A horse
race lie quite adifferen0y conducted affair from q
yacht contest, in which we have already beaten
the English. As to the question about the
comparative merits of English and American
horses, it cannot be settled even If we should
some day win the Derby. We are not aware
that it is of very great importance to any one
except horse jockeys by trade.

ANOTHER SLAYER CAPTuRsp IN THE GULr.--We
have the confirmation to-day OF still another
capture Of q SLAYER by The United States cruisers
of the coast Of Cuba The weasel taken is q
bark, and sailed under French colors. She
had on board over four hundred negroes who
have been landed at Key West, and provided
with temporary shelter by the United States
Marshal. This last instAlment makes the whole
number of negroes at Key West about seventeen
hundred, all Of whom will be taken back 10
Africa and fed and lodged by our government
for year, at an expense Of quarter Of mil
lion dollars.
The frequency Of these captures, that above
alluded to beipg the third within month,
calls for some decided action on the part
Of Congress. Whatever may be the opinions
Of few incorporate brawlers at the South,
the moral sentiment of the country, In every
section thereof, is strongly in favor Of putting
down the slave trade. 1t can be efsctually ar

The POLICE AND THE PRIZE FIGHTERS. We
give today very full and interesting account
OF the iDcursion Of the police upon the prize

The prompHtude Of the police In this case,
we are glad TO zee, was equalled by that Of the

The Exopus FROM AMERICA, AND Tue EXODUS
FROM IRELASD.-The newspapers at both sides
Of the Atlantic have been for some time CON
menting upon the great exodus going on from
Ireland, and some Of the British journals are
deploripg 1t as something alarming to behold
the strength and sinew Of the British empire
taking their departure to other shores, every
man Of these emigrsnts being considered
worth thousand dollars in labor. They fear
that Ireland, the nursery OF the British army
and navy, upon which, nov that the Highlands
Of Scotland have been denuded Of their hardy
mountaineers, the government has TO depend
almost entirely for soldiers and sailors, will
become depopulsted.
But while this exodus II on foot from Eu-
rope to America, there seems 10 be an exodus
from America to Europe a. we'll, and not only
Of human beings, but Of specie. For example,
the two steamers-Adriatic and Edinburg-
which sailed from this port on Saturday, for
Southampton and Liverpool respectively, took
out nearly seven hundred passengers and over
a million and q half Of specie. Thus, we not
only send to Europe large numbers Of people
but Of different class, to spend money among
our friends there-each Of whom may be put
down - worth, say, three thousand dollars
but we send large quantities Of gold a. well,
to keep their bank accounts square. The
English journals need not complain 10 hard Of
the Irish exodus, then; perhaps, after ell, we
are about quits

Respect for Royalty.


In certain. city in Canada West,
resides colo~ed man, by name Frank,
a frnctionary who INDUCES in hair
dressing, saloon keeping, and the mys-
teries of cooking and general waiting
This colored individual is fond of a
practical joke. He has moreover a
certain pinguitude of system, so that
when he laughs, external, or shrouded
beneath the black veil of his shining
outside, he may be said to shake like
Jelly, after the fashion of Santa
Claus, in the Night before Christ
mas
Now it happened-so the story
goes-that when the Prince of Wales
visited the city where Frank resides,
that ball was given in his honor,
and that Frank was an essential ac-
cessory thereto. Without Frank The
ball was no ball.
During the evening, after supper
and while Frank was among the dish
es in the culinary room, his privacy
was intruded upon by certain young
women, who addressed him insinuating-
ly about as follows
60! Frank, have you the glass
out of which His Royal Highness
drank ?" To this Frank blandly re-
sponded Yes"
Will you let US drink out of it n
Certainly"
Now, Flank, which side of the
glass did His Royal Highness's lips
touch %
Frank indicated the identicl spot.
Then the yonng women each and
all, reverently and jubilantly touched
their lips to the glass Then they
said, Are you sure Frank, that we
touched the place touched by his
Royal Highness's lips To which
Frank answered, Certainly, for
wanted to drink after the Prince my
self, and had my lips on the very
spot touched by his, just before you
came in know it is the place"
Fancy the result. Young ladies
eaeunt, disguised, and the facetious
Frank relapsed into one of his most
violent examinations, jellifying for .
full half hour.

1t was Mr.. Hills habit 70 ride to

practice too aristocratic in the judge

It was customary in his chapel for
notes to be sent to the pulpit request

Sabbath Mr.. Hill was proceeding
with the reading of these requests as
usual, when he found himself in the
midst of one of the following purport:
Prayers are requested for Rev.

We have met this morning to render
thanks unto God, for national mereies
and national blessings Then, it
would be fitting for us to say, thanks
be unto the Lord for Christianity. and
the influence it has exerted on this
nation. True, bone and sinews have
builded our cities, and laid down our
railroads, aud dug our canals. but
Christianity has exerted a more pow
erfnl influence in our midst, than these
active physical forces for it has mould
ed and manufactured wholesome re-
hgious opinion, that has reached the
rulers of the people. by which they
pay that respect to religion that is due
it, as well as those over whom they
rule. From the time the Puritens
landed on Plymouth Rock, even under
the CT lonial form of government, many
of the Governors of the colonies issued
proclamations, and now every Cover
nor in the Union pays that Difference
TO religious opinion, by setting apart
a day for thanksgiving and praise
If David could say, "The lines are
fallen unto me in pleasant places" and
that he had "goodly heritage, /"
much more can we, who live in this
period of the world, and in this part
Ct the world to enjoy, as we do, civil
and religions liberty.
1t would be well for US to remember
that every good and perfect gift COM
eth from God. Though we cannot
see Him, who clothed himself with
light as with garment, and maketh
the clouds bis chariot, and walketh on
the wings of the wind, vet he doth
rule over all things, and giveth direc-
ton to all things under the whole
heavens. Though that hand is not
seen that is on the helm of universal
nature, it is there notwith landing,
and is fashioning, not only natural
mercies, but is ordering every tempo
raj blessing with which we are crown
ed.
/. We will look at our heritage by
contrast.
Z There is certainly no way of reach.
ing just conclusions better than by
contrast. Error never looks so hidi.
