The Ynks Of cociety are daily becoming more and more shat- tered, and even those who have steadfastly held to the ‘opinion that cations are hard to kill begin to sbake their beads cminously for the fate of poor Mexico. The daily inereasing numbers of banditti who swarm upon our Dighways and byways, and their recent <espoliations of Jarge merchandise trains—the acts of all the petty military obiefs of both parties, in levying heavy forced contribu- ons upon the baciendas and villagee, acd the increasing depravity of Miramon himgelf, in virtually sacking towns by seizing members of rich families and holding them for ransom—all tend to convince the most blunted imagina- ‘ons that the hour of dissolution is at band. Gonédence is shattered in al) manner of business pur- euits, Rich estates near this capital are valueless, be- emuse they are subjected to so many taxes by the authori- Uee, and contributions by the revolutiopary party and by Dands of robbers, that they cannot be sustained without great loss. What exists near bere exists to a worse de- @ree as the distance from this is increased. Al) manner ef mercantile pursuits are almost paralyzed, and soon must be entirely brought to a stand from the great inse- curity which prevails on the high roads. Financial ope- rations have been of late greatly curtailed by the example of the house of Jecker. In fact, things are bad and grow- wag worse. «It would require a’ gifted pen indeed to give @ partial description of our present sad position. No cam show us up worse than we really are.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable “news” to the liberal cause lately manufactured and published in the United States by the agents and stipendiaries of the reactioaary party, I can pow assure you that the prospects of a speedy and complete triumph of the constitutional government never were better than at present. Public sentiment has ever becn with them, and is strengthening in thelr favor day by day; and, what is of equal importance, their gen- erals are at length learning how to beat the enemy, as you will perceive from the following events. Ramirez, one of the rea:tionary generals, was aw- fully thrashed by the volunteers of Zacatecas and Agcas Calientes, on ths 15th of June, ata place called Penuelas, The action was a diloody one, of three hours duration, when the gallant militia won the day, utterly destroy ing the hostile army, capturing everything worth taking, including a thousand prisoners, among whom are fiity officers.

Its very riches thus prove to be a curse by enabling it to carry on 80 cl and bloody « civil war, Juarez has reconciled himself to the necessity of get- ting on without pecuniary or other aid from the United States. He says, though, that time will show that the policy agreed on between President Buchanan and him- self Was the trne policy for both countries, and that if an American Senate refused to aid bim in sustaining the self principle he to be able to vindicate the Siena Charta any assistance from the wi descendants of those who framed it.

It is suy his faiture will stil! further embarrass Mirawon and his frieads in their flaances. To sum up the state of parties existing in this couutry in a few words, you may rely upon it that there will be no peace in Mexico until the complete and absolute tri uumph of liberal principles. It may take many years to bring matters to a close, but that it will cunchide upon this basis there can be no doubt. Many who now tight the constitation and reform admit that they are doing so merely because they can make a good fiving at it, and that will stick to the church. as long a she las a dollar, and a# posterity never did anything for them, why lot posterity take care of itself, .

Resolved, That in this final battle of the people against the King we will furnish material aid until a standard as Swe lent as the stars an’ stripes displaces every royal ensign in Europe and America. Resolved, That these resolutions be printed in the city papers, and that a copy be sent to Garibaldi by the abemer this meeting, with the request that thoy may be read at the head of his troops. The resolutions were loudly applauded Mr. Carry then came forward, amid great euthu- siasm, to addrers the mecting. He began by depictii the historical condition of Sicily, ng it throug! 8 period of a hundred years. What sort of a man, asked Mr. C., is Garibaldi? ‘I have paid atieution to his career, and I proclaim bim to be the very man who would be se- lected by the people of the United States to carry on this Rreat cause to a triumphal termination, His actions go to make up that description of bim contained ia thy reso- ‘ations.

We have, as a people, something todo with this matter ; these voluntary, free and unbounded expres- sions, which have poured forth from the people of Cincin- nati, speak plainly that the inhabitants are on the side of the immortal General in-Chief, Joseph Garibaldi. Mr. Witucn, editor of the Janer, spoke in English and German. The purport of his remarks was that the German people were not, as had been falsely asserted, the natural oppressors of the Ivaliaus, but their friends, and ready to Sight by their side against despots. le said that while the Germans #) mpsthized with Garibaldi, they did not sympathize with Victor Emanuel or Louis Kapoteon. It was his opinion, too, that Napoleon 111 bad mistaken Germans, as the Grst Napoleon did.

PATCHEN FOR TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS BEFORE THB RACE—RETIREMENT OF THE LITTLE BAY MARE FROM THE TURF, ETC. The second trotting match between Flora Temple ant George M. Patchen, two mile heats, for five hundred do! Jars a side, came off on Tuesday afternoon, at the Suffolk Park Course, Philadelphia, It will be remembered that the New Jersey stallion proved the victor in the two mile heat race on the Union Course, Long Island, afew weeks ago, although he was obliged to succumb to the superior Heetness of the “Queen of the Trotting Tar in the mile heat race, both on that track and ont» fulk Park Course, Philadelphia, on the 4th jnet. Her friends allege, in extenuation of her defeat at two miles, that ghe was not in fit condition tw go 0p that occasion, being fretful and foverieh, as well as Suifering from having cut one of her fore feet severely before the race, Certaim it is that Flora beat him clever ly at the shorter distance last week, and in consequence #he was backed heavily for the present race. Id this city, on Monday evening, there was @ good deal of money laid out upon her, and che had the decided eall of the horse. At the Girard House, Puiladelphia, on the morn ing of the race, her plucky owner, Mr, Macdonald, who invariably reposes the most implicit confidence in her, $1 to $700 that she beat Patchen, and even after the first heat, which, as will be seen from the subjoined report, she jost, he still adhered wo his previously ox preesed opinion and took the odds that were otfered on the horse freely. The result showed how well g ed was his conildence in the speed aud endurance of tis game little mare. Early in the afternoon the roads leading to the Sutilx Park, which is about seven miles distant from delphia, were crowded with carriages and conveyancer of every description, conveying to the track ‘The Baltimore Railrtad rau special trigs at intervals, and city cars took visiters within a mile of the place, | Be- tween four and five thousand persons were assembled togetber on the stands and im the enclosure when the Tace commenced. The management of the track was characterized by the most disgraceful and irregular proceedings. Every species of extortion was practised 'y those wa0 assunied the direction of nitairs. There were no policemen or track keepers to clear the course engaged , and the only object of the mismanagers appeared to be to secure as many dollars as they possibly could. For some years past the Suflolk Park Course las enjoyed a Most “uneny able reputation with the public, in conse- quence of the gross mismanagement and more than questionable proceedings identified with it, aad which has severely militated against the success of the trotting turf in Philadelphia. The proceedings on Tuesday eulm- nated the mismanagement of the track, and the opinion was generally expressed that the Sutfolk Park Course was now irretrievably ruined. On arriving at the course we found a rumor, which had prevailed in the city in the moruing, that Patehen had been sold fora heavy price, currently circulating and generally believed. Its truth was soon confirmed, the purchaser, Nr, William Waltermire, of New York, an extensive cattle dealer, himself assared us of the fact. He had been in treaty for tue famous sta‘lion since the preceding week, but the purchase was only completed that morning. The price was $25,000, with the contio- fencios of ‘he stake trotted for, if he won. He was ht of Messrs. Hall, of Rochester, and Longstreet, of Bordentown, the joint owners of the horse The former Wes not present at the race. So much delay ensued io brivging out the horses, after the announced time of starting, that it began to be generally believed that no trot would come off, bets were made to that effect. The real cause of the delay, however, arose from the fact that Tallman had refused vo drive unless his share of the gate money was given ap to him Before the race, It toatl @ portion of the gate money reccived at the previous week's trot had not been duly handed over, and Tals an was ditermined w have his cazh ip hand before starting for a second match. The mattor was, however, settled in some manner, and the horses and drivers made their appearance on the track. Both looked in splendid sondition, and many a hope was expressed that the “little bay mare” might win the race, and then finally retire from ‘that turf on which she had wou 80 many ‘glorious triumphs, and eujoy in ber ¢ clining years that rest ant retirement she was so entitied to, The betting, which at first was $100 to $*0, gradually settled down vo. $100 to $40 on her, when the fact of Patchen’s sale was confirmed. The lowest time bo seen that this s¢ were Messrs. too. Presbury for Mr. Macdonald, W. Jenkins for Mr. Bail, and Dowling a8 the umpire judge. It was nearly haif past five o’clocek Lefore the horses were summoned to prepare for ‘THE FIRST HEAT, scourred before the word “Go” was & ’ ing his usual game of trying to ex cite the horse by £6 many failures. The crowd began to get impatient at him, as did also the judges, and at the seventh attempt to score the word was given, although Patchen, who the pole, was a clear length and a balf ahead, ‘He maintained thie advantage round the first turn, and increased his lead to three lengths on whe up per side, pasting in this position the quarter pole in seconds, the half mile ia 1:10 (when he broke up, b Tallman recovered hit quickly), aud the third quarter in 145. On rounding into the homestretch the mare mute one of ber rattling broshes, came up on the inside Mantiy, Patchen ig the score On the first mile frst Six false starts Mann ‘atchen y half a length in 2:22, and showing the quick rate at which they were going. On the upper site of the track the horse drew away gradually, and led past the half mile pole by three good iengths in $35, This position was maintained home, the mare seeming unable to get closer up, and the stalliou crossed the score three lengths abead in 4:51). Jimmense dissatisfaction was expressed at the bad start in the last heat, and every person who had a dollar bet on et et pee loudly denounce: the conduct of the ji ing ita “go.” They began to fear for the safety of thelr investments, and many who had bet odds on the little mare now tur round and offered $100 to $40 on the stallion. Some amount of business was done at this rate, a8 many of the friends she could yet win the race. Her owner never wavered of faltered ip his confidence, and openty expressed him self to that effect. The Jerseymen had been pretty well cleaned out the previous week by backing the horse, and hey consequently talked all the more loudly of tainty of their State's equine representative’ wlan and making up with nove what they lacked Support their favorite. Again the bugle sound warning uote of preparation for ‘THR SROOND NRAT. Two unsuccessful attempts to score, and away they went, without the word being given by the jodges, consequently called them back, but freffectualiy.” Te horses were certainly together on paseing the score, but the judges, perceiving that Patchen broke up just at the momeut, very properly forcbore giving the werd. The seene that ensued exoeods all powers of deacript Tne track was covered by masses of excited men, who fur Tounded the judges’ stand, wildly rociferating that it was fair start, aud threatening to pull down the stand. They ‘al eged that it was a much fairer start than that for the first beat, and that the jadges were favoring Patchen Those geutiomen, of course, took no potice of the surly: and anrewsoning mob: and when Patchen pasesd the stand on the first’ tile, in the rear of Flora, pursuing her course, they ordered ‘up, ¥hieb be did. When Flora had e ber eecoud mile, ber driver, McMann, was called into the stand, ond informed by the judges that it was bo beat, as they had never given the word, ané ® must be gone over iminediately, Mr. MeManw declared that he was under the impression they bad done so, but of course he bowet to the decision of the judges, The crowd stiil continued their riotows proceedings, and a start was ellected in a fect babel Of poise and shouting.
