Ale ENGLAND. Registration of Voters—Women Denied the Franchise, Lonpon, Sept. 16, 1868. The registration of voters for the forthcoming Parliamentary elections, which will commence about the 13th of November next, is being prose- cuted with great diligence throughout the British isles. At many places women formally demanded that their names be placed upon the lists of voters on the ground that they possessed the property qualitica- tions prescribed by the Reform bill, and the legal aspects of the question, as well as the extent of the movement, have excited much public Interest on the Bubject. Over six thousand women claimed the right to be registered in Manchester alone, and their demands were urged in an able speech be- fore the registering officials by Miss Lydia Becker. After argument on both sides the claim was disal- Jowed. Similar proceedings took place in other towns, and In some cases the question was reserved for legal decision. v question has finally been brought before the judges at Westminster, and they have overruled the pplication of women to be registered as voters, on the ground that an amendment to the Reform bill, ‘which was proposed in the House of Commons by Mr, Mill, substituting the word “person” for “man” was rejected, and that by this action the House clearly indicated the intent and purpose of the bill in this respect. pate Legal Opinion Against the Ladies. In the month of May last the question of the right of women to be registered as voters was agitated in some of the cities of England. A deputation from the Manchester National society for Women's Suf- frage having waited upon the Board of Overseers for the township of Manchester for the purpose Of ask- ing them to place women on the list of voters, under the Representation of the People bill, 1867, the Board decided upon obtaining counsel's opinion thereon and submitted a case to Mr. Mellish, Q. C., who replied thus:— Tam of opinion that under the Representation of the People act, 1867, women are not entitled to be istered as Voters. Itis plain that if it had been the intention of Parilament to give votes to women the word ‘man’? would not have been used in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth sections, and no statute ought to be construed contrary to the manifest inten- tion of the legisiature. [am of opinion that the overseers ought not to place the names of women on the register. I see no objection to their names being placed on the list of Clann on MELLISH. The Trade in American Hay.

Effect of the Royal Prassian Speech. LONDON, Sept. 16, 1868. It is reported in Paris that the speech of the King of Prussia at Kiel excites no animosity in the French Cabinet, where the words of the King are regarded as having reference merely to the events of 1866, and as not susceptible of any application to the present tate of affairs in Europe.

Starlight Won the Steeple Chase, Aldebaran the Three Mile and a Distance and Bonnie Doon the Selling Race~A Good Day's Sport and a Fine Attendance. Paterson was in extraordinary favor with the con- trolling agent of the weather yesterday, It was spared an equinoctial soaking from the big and bulky raindrops, ‘The tong, heavy strips of dull gray clouds that lay across the sky through the morning and shut out the cheering sunlight wore a grim and threatening look upto noon. Immediately prior to the steeple chase, the great event of the day, they seemed bent on bursting down upon the devoted track and on the heads of a dozen horsemen criti- cising the breakneck qualities of a stone fence in a far off and unsheltered corner of the course. But matters were more agreeably directed. They rolled away with a glad farewell from every heart, and the merry sunshine stole in between the chinks in the departing line, lighting up a bit of sloping emerald lawn here and burnishing a slice of leafy woods yon- der. Towards evening tue sky was blue and serene a3 ever. The attendance was large yesterday. The steeple chase no doubt had the effect of increasing the usual number of visitors, It possesses the charm of ex- citement, and when judiciously sandwiched in be- tween te ordinary flat races lends variety to the sport. The midday train brought an immense crowd, It made an imposing show coming up the cow path under the tall hemlock trees by the river. Such & large, busy, bustling city swarm in so in- ‘tensely rural and romantic a situation had an odd effect. A solitary shepherd, say Strephon, playing on the primitive pandeon pipe, or a lovesick Chloe gathering wild flowers tn a gypsy hat would be far jnore appropriate figures in such a place, However, there are not wanting in the crowds that go up to see the horse race, even among those with the rude, practical rind of metropolitan habits around them, people who can appreciate the wonderful beauty of the scenery bordering the Passaic, and whose souls are touched at the sight of nature's tenderest charms of shady nook, of grassy dell and of murmur- ng river. ‘The pool selling was much more animated than on the previous day, It was conducted in the usual place on the sheltered veranda of the hotel, It is a great institulon, The wonder is it was never thought of before. Dr. Underwood's fertile fancy has given birth to few more unique conceptions. Few, however, but horsemen understand it, yet 10 is as simple us child’s play. ‘Three horses are rimuing; the Doctor asks, “flow much for first choice?” You say $50, or any sum you please. If nobody else bids higher you become the purchaser and thereupon name your horse. The purchaser of the second choice names his from the two remaining, paying say $35, and the last being, of course, the least in favor, is bough! say for $15. The total pool is then $100, which goes to the purchaser of the choice which wins the race, the auctioneer, who 18 generally the Doctor, ded ig for his services three per cent. ‘This very ple machinery, it will be readily comprehended, can be applicd to any number of horses running or to any amount of money staked. ‘The thing has now become a recognized feature of the course, It could be rendered equally ser- viceable where the race lay between as many bipeas: running for office. In the Presidential contest about to come off it could be rendered of mestimable ser- vice, and at the same time indicate unerringly which of the running steeds is held in the highest favor. Old horsemen iadicate their bids without any vocal effort. Yesterday there were some amusing speci- meus of this class in the neighborhood of the pool. 'The bidding was going on at the rate of a dollar better at each bid. The auctioneer recognized two of his old acquaintances, as he supposed, one of whom signified his desire of going a doliar better by winking one eye, the other by winking both. After a wile the competition for first choice was Jeft entirely between the three eyes, the out- side spectators looking on in amazement at the ool seller apparently doing all the bidding for himself, The figure was running up ua- usually high, the dual fe seg having the lead, when a loud burst of laughter interrupied the proceedings, and the discovery was made by the auctioneer that (he pair of eyes he had been so tn- tently observi were blinking at him ali the time, and might have continued doing so till now if the owner had not averted his deceptive optics in an immoderate fit of merriment, There were many other Ways ta which the horsemen indicated thew wishes of going it better on first or second choice and saved themselves the terrible exertion of voval- izing the fiwares they meant. One gentieman used his cigar in the fashion customary in practising at fotls, and by a horizontal movement from his mouth made elf perfectly understood to the mitiated. the manner in Wluch he expectorated a ad his anes Salty ye peer | with- out putting himself to the trouble of a labial utter- ance, Pool selling, when undersiood, ia a very inter- esting performance, The inain stand, though not as full at it might be, presented the usual aniination whieh the bright eyes and the brigit dresses of a number of ladies are sure to impart. The distinctive mark of the Jersey was the color of their ribbons, whioh embraced prominent shades of a summer sunset. Those of York alfected amethyst and other such lapidary tints. The side stands were well patronized, and here during the steeple chase the most Mdicrous feeling of excitement found vent. A tremendous babble of tongues prevailed, aud @ violent straining of the epigiotiis affected each enthusiastic sportsman as he followed with his anxious e; career of the flying and leaping coursers. The best kind of good ing prevailed throughout te day. ne Who on laughed and joked, and even those who lost saw nothing to prevent them from beiug equally demonstrative. Prominent among the horsemen present were Leonard W. Jerome, Join Minor Poits, R. W. Came- ron, M. Sanford, New Jersey; Captain Fox, Canada: Captain Byneter, British army; Captain Moore, Ken- tucky; W. R, ion, St. Louis; Dick ravis, Dr. ©. ‘Tennesse Elwees, Ca Major S. Hoagiand, Long Island; J. 8. Watsou, ‘Thomas Puryear, South Carolina, The Racing. Three races came off yesterday. The first was called a steeple chase, the jumps in which were all well taken, but the running was anything but racing. It might have been better had not accidents occurred at tie ontset of the race. At the very first jump one of the horses feil heels over head and came very near killing his rider. He was conse. quently ont of the race, and, as it lay between the others for first and second money, there was very lite rivalry, particularly after the saddie-tree of Remorse broke and his rider was left without the use of his stirrups, The second race, however, made amends for the other, as it was one of the finest ever witnessed. The struggle be- tween Aldebaran and James A. Connolly, which last- ed for a mile and a half, was intensely exciting, the just quarter particularly 80, as they staggered up the stretch side and side, both entirely “piayed out.” Aldebaran won by three-quarters of a length. ‘Tils was a handicap, and it showed the fine judg- ment of the man who adjusted the weights so nicely as to bring about such anevent. The third race was also @ very interesting affair, Three were in it, Bonnie Doon, Enchantress and Richmond, the former winning very easily. After a mile haa peen run between Enchantress and Richmond, Bon- nie Doon stepped up and took the lead and held it to the end without apparent effort. The judges yes terday were Leonard W. Jerome, John Minor Botts aud Abraham li. Godwin, The timers were Simeon Hoogiand and &.

This was the tinest and furthest jump in the race, and as Starlight took it he “brought down the house,” as there was a general hurrah. Remorse cleared the brush and water neatly, but not with the grandeur of Stariight, The same round as before had to be taken again, aud when Remorse made his jump over the stone wall in the field the saddie-tree broke and his rider, Pepper, had no farther use of his stirrups. He, however, went on with the race, knowing that the second money would be Iris if he went the round, no matter how long it took him to do it, He lagged far behind, but made all the jumps safely, The second jump over the ditch in front of the stand by Stariight seemed to electrify the crowd, as it was an amazingly high and long one. Remorse went over it clean and ciear, but when he was brought to the post and rails after leaving the field le boited back to the track and “would’nt have it, you Know,” for some time. His rider, however, coaxed him over and went on to the end, With Starlight half a mile ahead of him. The latter went in a slow canter for the remainder of the race, and was at the stand some ten minutes before Remorse caine home. ‘Time of uke race, 12:13, the slowest time on rec SECOND RACE.

Going around the upper turn Conuolly showed in front for a short time, but before they got to the quarter pole Alde- baran ran past him and led one length. Connolly struggied down the backstretch and worked himself bo Aldebaran’s shoulders, @ad at tue half-mile pole Aldebaran was only @ heck in front. On the lower turn they were parallel and came on the homestretch yoked, where one of the most exciting struggles ever witnessed ensued. Both horses were pumped out, and wien they reached the drawgate were staggering drunk, in which manner they rolled ap and passed under the string, Aldebaran the winuer by three quarters ofalength. The lact mile was ran in 1:56%5 and the three miles in 5:44. The run up the stretch to the stand was not included in the above, as the time was hot taken, the obiect being to give the Lorses a run- uing siurt from the stand. THE THIRD RACK.
