Deeply the vanity o( the British public nay wounded br scoinir a racehorse bred in America emulate the exarenlo of tha French eolt Gladiatenr and earrr off both Derby and St, Lorcr.it is acme comfort to know that the Vest tW Tar old which tUrted on the Town Moor carried off the classic raea which baa obtained such a firm hold on tho affection of nore lorinc Yorkshire, and which wa founded urvwards centurv ae a br Colonel St. Lcger who resided at Parkhiil, near iVe ncaster and that the iaine was a mere qnestion of health for the Derby winner as soon as Peregrine was eliminated from the competition has now been conclusively nroveL The nnsatisfactorr part of the proceed ings was tho freedom with which the pencils of the Ring were plied against the American colt from the York August meeting and persistont was the hostility thus displayed that even if thero was no danger there ws Tory great fear, of foul play; The most stringent precautions wero taken to cuird against any attempt to injure the colt, especially after his arriral on th.e scene of action, but are loth to believe that there was any such in tention in existence, though the mention of buccaneer's name will recall to the recollection of man followers the national pastime the fact thatraeh thine are possible.

We are more inclined to the opinion that the tmecuse of the onslaught raado upon Iroquois was owing to his taring gone slightly amiss, ana ins nuw UttcJ in hi work at a very critical period training, as mentioned in these columns at tho time. lP the fourth week in August, when the stoppage in his work there was no decided hostility to the horso obsorrablo on the cenmry, he was a very hot favourite, in 4 being readilv taken, with every prospect of his being u. tcd at een rorney. netoro tn nay ci the race. Sciienlv all this was changed, and tho attack of the Kvkmakers began on the of August at York races.

It continued on Saturday, the 27th but, as was found that the colt did.somo cantering that day, he was supported at 100 to 50 at the usual place of meeting in tho afternoon. Puriry; the following weoi no oscillatod very muih in the price current.bcing alternately backed and laid against at i) to 4 until Wednesday, Augnst SI. when he resumed galloping, and was supported down to 6 to On Saturday, September ho was not sp good a favourite, but still it was difficult 'to say which party was the strongest, tha layers or tie takera of odds. The following week aw him knocked about like a shuttlecock, 3, and 5 to 1 being freely tendered, with the addition of an offer of 100 to 60 that he was not in the first three at the finish. This was enough to frighten his backers, more thaii all his trainer, who was thoroughly satisfied with what tho horso was doing after his temporary stoppage in work.

The public, having seen a similar state of things foretell the scratching of Peregrine, took alarm, and all sorts of absurd stones wero brinted about, even to the extent of naming him as a doubtful runner. On the Saturday preceding tho race he went a Cod long gallop at Newmarket with his old jockey, Archer his back, and forthwith returned Legar winner. 'Wenlock, br Lord Gufdea.

One of the features of the race was the bold front presented opposite the commencement of the Grand Btand inclosure br Lucy Glitters, who startod at 66 to 1 but, although she made a pliant struggle for second place with Geologist, it was hardly in the nature of things that tho second In the Oaka should prove successful over tho winner of tho Derby. Her forward position, however, goes far to. ahow that Thebais would have beon first or second had the Oaks victress been entered for the St. Leper.

With the. remark that tho Americana have had fair play, on the turf as well as on the water in tho mother country wo take leave of the St Loger of 1881 and its uncanny surroundings. Petronel, who lias grown and improved in a marked dogree since last year, showed himself to 1)0 a really good torso, a stayer and a weight carrier, not only by his victory in tho Great York shire Handicap on Tuesday, but by winning tho time honoured Doncnstcr Gun for the Duko of Beaumont from Madame Du Barry and Tristan. In tho Champacno Stakes Lord Rotcborv's Ker raeso had an amnio revence unon Dutch Ovnn fnr her hoad dofcat nt Good wb)d, when an advantage of 4llv in woicht enabled Archer to snatch tho Htcimond Stakes out of tho fire with Lord Fal mouth's! crack two year old but it is to bo ro grcttod that Dutdi Oven, like herhalf siator Hal Gal, is afflicted wi.th the horoditary malady of her dam Captinierc.

In ISIS, four irars before the foundation of the Wesleyan MUsiorury Society, Dr.

Coke waa authorized br the Conference to associate with himself six others, and to proceed to establish raiasioi! in Ceylon and Java. Tlie mission thus planted had to day 5,000 communicant. The society entered New South Wales in 1815, and Van Dicman's laud in 1820 Thence they went in two or tbreo years to the Friendly Islands, with its neighbouring groups, and tcXcw Zealand. In 1832 they undertook tho cocqnest ot cannibal Fiji. Probably 500 Pacific islands, ouce heathen, were now Christian, and tables once covered with human flesh now bore the emblems of Christ's dying love Australia, a continent in itself, had now four Conferences, and Methodists everywhere within its shores.

The Knv. E. E. as kiss, M.A., raised on the triumphs of Christianity in our days among the heathen, eren among the heirs of the' oldest civilizations, an elaborate argument in refutation of those who speak of the Christian religion as already obolute and destined to pcedy extinction, lie taid that, next to Vishnu's and ltuddha's, the name of Jesus was the best known in India, the most frequently on men's lips, and without any exception, from a human point of view, tho mightiest Jesus was the acknowledged leader, and the New Testament the avowed text book of tho newest philosophical school of tho Peninsula. The chief leader of this new school, a gentleman who had not proteased tha Christian religion, said a few months ago that so far as he could S9o the mure Sovereign of India would be Jesus of Nazareth.

The Rav. Hcxtlet cited from the late I Mullens, secretary of the London Missionary Society, the Christian statistics of India for three 1 decennial years.

Indeed, with the help of such a screw tn measure tha speed, I believe that tho relation of horso power to speed could, for each speed, bo determined with a sinclo short run with far greater accuracy than 'is obtained by means of six long runs under the present system." It may not be improper for.mo.to state that the Lords of the Admiralty, following on the lines by Mr. Fronde, hare intrusted the question of the adoption cf mv electrical arrangement for speed trial purposes to an eminent engineer, who is fully investigating the subject. and that, as recently as the 28th of June hurt, the Admiralty informed me that further experiments are pending. 1 nave tne Honour to be, hir.

As the designer of this scene, Colonel Charles LangloU, is a Frenchman, he has naturally selected jfor his picture the portion of the lines in front of Scbastopol occupied by the French.

The speaker thought that in 1SS1 we must have in India half a million of Christians. Tho Rev. Jame Calveut, of the Knglish Wesleyan Church, said 43 years ago Lnglisli3Iethodists were aroused and the deenc st interest was created by a powerful appeal on behalf of cannibal Fiji. Tlirce misMonsries went out to join the two already there. Tho Fijians were a Ann raco and industrious.

Lighty of the 220 islands wero inhabited. Their house, canoes, mats, cloth, and mosquito curtains; their fishing baskets, sinnet, clubs, and rpoars were "superior. They wero pre eminent for their wars, feanully damaged by tolgamy, guilty of strangling and and degraded exceedingly by tho prevalence of cannibalism to aa extent beyond any otherpciplo eating up, on some occasions, as many as lOOpcrsjms. The renowned Ka L'hdreundro relished human 'licshl in ti nely in hi shame, and kept count by placing a big stono in a row for each of the S'2 of whom he ateafter be grew to ie man: line oay lie obtained ana boned 1 limbs already cooked, with teeth marks left upon jtho linrn. He found the Fijian as bad as human being cduld possibly bo when left to themstdves and to the undisturbed control bf demon spirits, "being tiled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envv, murder, strife, deceit, malignity." A small Land of Wesleyan without prestige or any human protection, had beon employed in Fiji, for AG years.

GoI wonderfully pre vrved their lives, and no one of them was sacrificial for 32 years, when Francis Baker was slain and eaten with seven nativo Christians. The missionaries laboured constantly every day, and all day long, in every possible. way, and prayed to God earnestly and pcrsever ingly for tho ralvation of any and all. Some were convinced of sin, bitterly repented, earnestly sought and found mercy, and when saved were very clear in their experience. They were very diligent and regular at all tho means of grace, and especially attentive to their meeting in elass.

And as Fcon as any wcrt con verted and gained life in their souls, they were deeply earnest in prayer and effort for the benefit of others. Th results, cn a grand rcale, were marvellous. Cruel practices and degrading superstitions were extinct. Many thousands had ben savingly converted, bore well persecution, trial, th loss ot all things, and martyrdom a few instances they maintained good conduct, died very happy in Christ. Marriage was sacred, the Sabbath well kept, family worship regularly conducted schools had been established everywhere, law and good government firmly laid, and spiritual Churches formeJ.

A natiro ministry was raised up and trained for' every branch of tho Church's work. The language hadlaecn reduced to written form, a grammar and dictionary had beenprintod 5,000 cSpies of the entir Bible, and more than 30,000 of tho New Testa ment. with innumerable jiortions of Uod's AVord had been tupji'ied to tho converts catechisms with Scripture proofs, a large editiou of Bunyau's Pilgrim's Progress," two editions of an invaluable system of Christian, theology, by John Hunt, had widely circulated and very profitably used. "And now, though the scourge and calamity of measles'took away 40,000 of the people, their were 1,132 chapels and other preaching places, schools, 4 native ministers, and lf catcchists and head teacher, all of whom are paid for by the people for whoso benefit they labour school teachers, 1,405 local preachers, class leaders, 33,019 scholars, 102,384 attendants in public worship, 13,274 members of society, and 5,433 on trial, for. meinbtrsliip.

It was on the question How' to avoid waste, rivalries and confusion, arising fromadiffcrent Methodist bodies occupying tho same or contiguous fields." The reader remarked that 23 years ago tho principles which ought to regulate tho relations of missionary churches with each other in the same field, had been excellently set forth by the Iter. G. Pope, of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, In a paper which he read before the first Sooth Indian Missionary Conference, held at Octamund in 1858. Of this document and the rules therein laid down for the maintenance of friendly relations among the various missionary aocieties an account was given, as well as of the exceptions provided for. Upon these lines tbo Protastant miMioaanea of different names, savo in few and lata instances, had steadily worked for a generation past in India.

Different part cf the territory, had been assigned respectively to different societies, and the missionaries had rccogaized each other heartily as fellow labourers in a common cause. The results were known to have been most gratifying and impressive. Like principles had in general guided tho societies in Africa, especially in South Africa. In China they had been less strictly applied, and waste had been caused by 'the location of SO missionaries, belonging to many different societies, in one city. Arrangement, however, of.

mutual abstinence ami exclusion agreed upon among the different societies had tot always worked satisfactorily. It was agreed, for instance, between the Wesleyan and London missionary societies labouring in the Pacific that, tho Tosga and Fiji group being left to the Wesleyan, the Samoa group should be Iit to tbo London Missionary Society. But after not a little difficulty and misunderstanding it had been found impossible to carry oat this agreement.

The weather ever the British. Islands and their neighbourhood has been in a very changeable, unsettled condition, although it has happened that over oar southeastern counties it 'has remained very fine since the morning aod has bea decidedly warm in London. From the observations of this morning it appeared that pressure was relatively high, both to the westward and eastward of the United Kingdom, and that while a depression lay the Shetland and the coast of Norway another ono layover the Bay of Biscay, and subsidiary disturbances over the Irish 'Sea and Belzium. The barometer had fallen generally, the wind was light and very variable chiefly southerly "over our eastern districts and northerly in the west, rain fell, in many places, aod thunder had occurred in the south cajt. The sea, however, was generally.

In the course of the day the changes have been very singular The subsidiary depressions in the west seem to have travelled eastward and have reached our north eastern and eastern coast, but that over the Bay of Biscay seem to have dispersed. The over our south eastern couatie has cleared up in a very remarkable manner and that in the far west has also improved, whilo iii the extreme north of Scotland the sky is clear. At Aberdeen, however, a drizzling rain ha been falling all day. The wind has veered round to at our southern stations and to north west or north on our own westers coasts generally, with fair weather, and the general appearance is somewhat fairer than at 8 a.m. to day.

The sea is smooth on all ear coasts. With such suilen changes of pressure and wind it seems scarcely likely that tha weather can remain fine for long, but probably the greater part of to morrow will be fine and warm over our southern and eastern districts. At the top of Ben Nevis this moming the thermometer Stood at a dead calm prevailed, cloud fog occasionally capped the summit, and masses of loose enmulus lay on the mountain's tides and over the valleys. At Fort William light northerly airs Were reported, the iky) wa overcast, the air hazy, and the temperature was fiileg. Forecasts or Wxatbkk roa Mondat, Sxrr.

The committee then appointed have been quietly at work ever ince. with tho result that at a meeting, held at the Royal Kent Dispensary, Greenwich, on Friday evening, it was finally decided to raise 10,000 and to build a. hospital in the rear of the dispenary, with the view of providing accommodation for tLo large and denselv populated district comprising Greenwich. DeptfonL, Woolwich, Blackheath, Lee. Lcvrisham, Clarlton.

Flumstcad. and contiguous parts of South East London. A memorial in favour of this scheme, s'gned by S3 local medical men, was reid. It was pointed out that a population of nearly one and a half millions on the Surrey side of the Thames has to rely upon Gay's, with 700 buds, and St. Thomas's, with 400 available bed, both of which, though largely endowed, are situated miles away from tliat portion ot tho district for the wants of which the new hospital will in future provide.

Already upwards of 1,200 has been received in private subscription from a few of. the resident in the district who recognize the necessity of providing this new' hospital. Tho Canon Miller Memorial Fund Committee have agreed to co operate with the executive committee of the Royal Kent Dispensary in raising tho necessary funds, and.il na been arranged that one of tho wards shall be called the Miller Memorial Ward as a recognition of tha valuable services rendered to the hospitals and dispensaries throughout the country by the Iste Rev. Canon Miller, D.D. as the promoter of Ilospital Sunday, and as a mark of esteem and affection to his memory.

It was reolrcd on Friday to make a vigorous effort to raise the necessary funds, and to erect and open the hospital for the reception of patients on the centenary of tneltoyal Kent Dispensarv in 18S3. It was further re tolrcdto try and carry out apian wnich ha proved very popular in America, by which congregation attending churches and chapel in the neighbourhood and the workmen of the larger firms.will be encouraged to establish and endow a bed or bods in the new hospital. Mr. William Bristowe, olicitor, London street, Greenwich, ha consented to act a'tbo honorary secretary, and it is now expected that this new and much needed hospital will be ready for occupation in tne eany parx or xcj. ins The fonowia Tabl abowa th Beaduua of the Cljo3iae Eart triought possioie tnat some ox menus ox ine laio miieT tot tte hoars preeedini tha above, thu eompletlnr th canon Aimer wno resiue in uistaot jtirui vi tou couoirj i 24 hours prevloo to 2 a.m.

De ceased aid that the conductor rescued him by lifting him off the steps, but be appeared. to attribute some blame to the driver in starting too ooa. Deceased said ho thought it was a Mitcham omnibus. Mr. Goo.

Willaher, an engineer, residing at the house of the leceased, and carrying on business at No. 40 Gracechurcb street. deposed that the deceased waa brooght home in a very faint condition. He made a somewhat similar statement to him a related by tho previous witness. Deceased wa sober.

Dr. Andrews said be found, on examining the deceased, a ragged wound about our inches long and three quarters of an inch broad under tbe left arm. There was slight hemorrhage. Death resulted from the injuries and shock to the ytem. Mortification etin just beforedeath.Mr.Smith.the coroner' informed tbe coroner thatthe police had made inquiries after the driver and conductor without avail, the jury returned a verdict of Accidental death." An inquest was hold oa Saturday at tha Three Tuns public house, London Street, on the body of Thomas Gadsby, aged 73, cf 14, Trinity grove, Blackheath hill, formerly a trimmer at.

Messrs. Perm's marine engine factory. From the evulenca produced it appeared that deceasal nad been incapacitated from work for some time past, and, having a wife to support, was compelled to apply to the parish for relief. The authoritie allowed him half a crown a week, but this being wholly inadequate for the maintenance of the aged couple, the late Rev. Iaaao.

North, the then vicar of Holy Trinity, Blackheath hill, interested himself oa their behalf and procured a mangle, for tha wife. It is alleged that oa hearing of this the parish authorities stopped the allowance. This circumstance appeared to have preyed on the old man's mind; and he was beard on several occasions to express the determination to destroy himself. On the 6th inst. he purchased two pexmyworth of carbolic acid and wallowed it.

Fortunately, DrjBowen was immediately sent for, and the man's life was saved. On Friday evening last, however, he left bl home about half past 6, leaving a note, ia which be stated he waa tired of life, and intended to destroy himself. Not ret urn is as usual, the letter was seen and read, and the police at once communicated with. On Saturday morning, about 6 o'clock, the body of deceased was seen floating in the Thames in iront of the Greenwich HospitaL A similar letter to tha oa mentioned was found on deceased, together with a piece of tin having written thereon hi full name and address. The jury returned a verdict that deceased committed suicide while suffering frwa mental derangement.

They expressed a very strong opinion that ue relieving omoer was to oiame to ine matter, aa ts of the past five seasons for dairy roots aa 1 grain. quite evident that the proceeds fromamangla toaeoopk so advanced in life as deceased and his wife were not nJB racct to os Farming. At Glynde Harvest Home, On Saturday. Sir Henry Brand, M.P., according to annual custom, addressed the company oa tha condition and prospect of farming. Ho said he expected thoe who had handled and pitched the sheave knew a good deal more about the probable yield of corn on that farm than he did.

Bat he said with confidence that tke harvest of 1881 will prove better sneaking ef the country generally than the harvest cf and infinitely better than He supposed within the memory of many there never had been so bad a harvest in England a that of 1679. The. harvest of 1848 and I860 were bad, but nothing like so bad as that of two years'ago. The com was short and inferior, and the grass, although abundant, was also of very miserable quality. The worst of it was there was no nn to make it into hay.

All of them would remember that in 1879 they had lying in their fields masse of hay which they world have" been glad to have paid anybody to carry away. What wasthe remedy for the evil under which they suffered? He had no hesitation ia saying that if they were favoured with good eaon there was no ground for deapair en the part of the Britih farmer. He did not hear that the fanners complained of the market prices of the present day. Farmers complained, and not without cause, that they were unfairly rated, and this was a matter which Parliament might, and. be hoped, would, deal with before many months had elapsed.

But the real remedy for their troubU lay in more snsshine. Be wa sorry to say that there were still among farmers those who had a fancy that Parliament could help them out of their difScultie by some specious plans called fair trade" and reciprocity," bat which were really only protection trader a new name, and contrivances tor taxing the food of the people the food, in fact, of the many for the beaefit of the tew. He should be very aorry to think that the farmer of this country would rest on a broken reed of that kind. Of this he was quite certain, that no statesman' deserving the niae would ever think of propoaing ta Parliament the ioponitioa of taxes on the necessaries of life i at a time when the growth of the population of England was soch thatthe country wa altogether ontgrowiag tho means of supplying necessaries from home prodnee, la conclusion, the opeaxer said there waa do day ia tho year which gave him greater enjoyment than the annual harvest home at Glynde, and be hoped to have the pleasure of attending it tor many year to come.
