Movements of Rarey, the Horse. ramer-
His Farewell to Lsndsn
om the London News, Oct. % ]


From the London News, Oct. %
On Saturday last the great American horse
tanner took what he stated to be his final leave
of his English friends at the Crystal Palsce.
The whole of the immense Handel Orchestra
was crammed to the roof and presented most
imposing appearance. The same may be said
of every portion of the trsnsept that was not
rallied of as an arena, whilst the first, second,
and even third galleries exhibited each its
dense and eager rows Of human faces. The
Russian ambassador and a numerous suite co.
cupisd the Queens gallery, and there were
also scattered amongst the lower crowd an ex-
ceedingly numerous and conspicuous sprink-
ling Of Orisntsls. Mr.. Rsrey began with the
Cruiser who is now a model of doeility and
patience. Like Colonel Crockett's squirrels
be comes dosn without the trouble of firing
He binds his knee for the strap, and falls with
ease, If not with dignity, the moment it be-
comes his cue to do so. He looked thin on
Saturday, and his coat was rough, but neither
Of those symptoms is uncommon with horses at
this season Of the year. Cruiser, who Is now
the property Of Mr.. Rarey, goes with him to
America, to assist in disseminating the new
philosophy Of horse-taming. After him came
scbestnut, which was, If possible, still more
dOcile; but here the harmony Of the arena
terminated. When the chestnut had been
duly hObbled, tumbled, and otherwise done
lor, the whole transept suddenly became vocal
with the unearthly screams Of the Irish mare,
who Was about to receive her first initiation
into the restraints of a civilized nlansge. This
animal, which was rather dingy gray, was
evidently Of great power; but as for discipline
che might have been q corporal in the Pope's
brigade. She lashed, kicked, bit, and appealed
with all the traditional eloquence of her coun-
try for ',justice TO Ireland" We certainly
never heard so much bowling from a morse,
and did not believe that even an Irish one
could have managed it; but perhaps the fact
of this animal being Of the softer sex may ac-
count for extraordinary excitement and volu-
bility.
But il was all Of no use. Mr.. Rarey wiped
his forehead, pulled ost his strap, and waited
his opportunity. The leg was soon up, and the
mare soon down, but not without the execution
Of one Of her national melodies, with brilliant
variations, which brought down thunders of
applause. Several times during the process Of
teaching she seemed quite ready to eat her
pre"eptOr, 80 that it was quite a relief to the
audience when she was at last made to 'bite
the dust, " feat which she certainly performed
with the most demonstrative vindictiveness
Having gone through the whole lesson she was
at last released, when she retired, a model Of
gravity and decorum, and evidently with her
mind filed with new ideas on the subjects Of
kicking, screaming, and biting in general.
very fierce horse, belonging to Mr.. Austen,
Of Sydenham, was subsequently introduced;

was very soon sabdued, and allowed drum to
be beaten on bis back, although not three
weeks since, as his proprietor assured us, he
almost destroyed groom who had ventured
10 approach him. This terminated the per-
fOrmance-all but Mr. Rsrey's farewell, which
was delivered in few, simple words, full of
friendly regrets and good feeling. He se-
knOwledged the unfailing kindness he had al

the fair hearing which had beea given to his
rather novel theories. He hoped he had done
some good in the cause of humanity by pleading
rs he had done the cause of our best friend,
the horse, and by showing, TO the best of his
humble ability, the means by which its useful
ness might be preserved without those pro-
tracted and brutal systems of training which
at present caused cruel and needless suffering
lie (Mr. Rarey) was about leaving England,
perhaps forever; but he should to his last mo-
ment retain grateful recollection of the
friends be had made and the kindness he had
received during his rather protracted sojourn
IN the cid country. This address was vehe-
mently cheered, and its delivery brought the
interesting farewell performance to a success
ful termination.
THE Prince OF WALES IN ANERIcA.-The
London Times, October 81, says We cannot
doubt that the Prince Of Wales has seen in the
OF the utmost advantage to him in the course
OF bis future life. He has gained what no one
can acquire by living at home at ease-some
idea OF the vast scale on which nature conducts
her operations
No one can look at the neat villages and
happy homes Of New England and the exu-
oerant abundance and comfort Of Western
canada without being filed with admira ton
At the patient industry which has realized
such results, in defiance. in the one case, of a
barren soil, and, ia the other, of a severe and
fotbidding climate. Nor is it possible to Wow
without establishment, hundreds of miles fur
taer West, the rude but successful efforts which
are forming similar state Of society in the
prairies Of Illinois and on the hunting grounds
OF Minnesota -
The fadgues and duties Of his journey cannot
have left the youthful Prince much time for
reflection, but he must have compared the
scene before With those with which he is famil-
lar on the Continent Of Europe-in Italy, for
instance, or In Germany-and must have felt
that the main cause Of all this happiness and
all this progress Is that liberty and SELF -goY-
eminent, the dearly -prized Inheritance of the
nation over which he Is called to rule. which
they have carried with them to these vast
countries The reception Of the Prince of
wales at New York, where hundreds of thou
sands Of men eombined-vithout soldiers n
preserve order, as on the Continent, without
ponce 10 preserve order, as among us-to offer
to the heir Of our Crown reception the most
nattering to him and the most honorable to
themselves that can be imagined, is in itself a
lesson to every one to whose hands power is or
may be committed Of obtaining the co-opera-
ton Of the people to accomplish the ends Of
government.
of the machinery Of government the Prince
could, ofAeourse, see little or nothing; but of
the external manifestations of the two forms of
popular oEereignty which exist side by side in
Canada and the United States, he has seen
more than any one person ever saw before.
We hope and believe that the lesson will not

Will bring TO the throne Of his ancestors, when

tures, and noble confidence in the destinies

west the wonder OF mankind at institutions
which they cannot initiate, and at progress
ana prosperity which they nnd it impossible
