RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Progress of Religious Feel ing—Dedications, Revivals, &c. The accounts for the past week foot up about 8,000 converts or accessories to various churches, Of these 3,300 are among the Methodists, 1,600 among the Baptists, about 1,000 among the United Brethren and 425 among the Presbyterians. More churches at the east end of Long Island have experienced revivals within @ year than in apy previous gne for the last twenty yer he churches in Easthampton, Sag Harbor, Bridge- hampton, Southampton on the south side, and those in Mattituck, Southold, Greenport and East Marion on the north side, have been especially favored. Four or five hundred communicants have been added tothe churches in the towns of Southold and East and South Hampton. The first Sabbath of April was a season of re- markable interest in Rey. Dr. Fisher's church, in Utica, It was the communion Sabbath, and fifty persons, of all ages—from the age of twelve years to over sixty—stood up together to confess Christ be- fore men. Twenty-six of these were members of the Sabbath school, their average age being sixteen. ‘Twenty-seven received the ordinance of baptism, ‘The present week has been a time of unusual in- terest in the Brick church in Rochester, N. Y. Last Sabbath was the regular time for the communion. Some of the members gave expression to the joy they felt iy view of the occasion by decoratin; pulpit with choice hothouse flowers. The house Was 80 filled as to require seats for 150 persons in the alsies, As their names were called 149 persons ou profession and fourteen by letter came forward and entered into covenant with this church. Amon, the number were thirty eight heads of families an 113 members of the Sabbath school. There was an unusual number of young men among them. Aclergyman writes:—‘There has been no revival in Rock Stream, N. Y., for at least a dozen years, and the church never had a settled pastor until [ was ordained and installed over it in June of 1367. The last admission on profession of faith was six years this month. The membership prior to April instant was forty-five.” A work of grace has been going on during the past winter in the First Reformed (Dutch) church of Bethlenem, N. ¥. Christians have been revived, backsliders reclaimed, and at the last communion season twenty-live persons were received into the church upon profession of their faith ly Christ. Some seventy-live more are either entertaining a hope or deeply anxious about their soul's welfare. ‘he revival in Lockport, N. Y., began before Rev. E. P. Hammond went there, and has numbered hun- dreds ainong its converts, including all ranks, from the mayor of the city to the children, of whom over 200 are hopeful converts. Mrs. Maggie Van Cott, Methodist, has been nownng meetings in Stone Ridge, N. Y., and 144 have joine on probation. The Methodists in Buffalo have received over 600 additions as the result of the present revival. The have been aided by the Praying band,’ compos: of thirteen business men of Troy. The Beach street Presbyterian church of Boston has received eighty accessions on profession, the re- gult of quiet labor, with no extra meetings or rising for prayer or anxious seate. The pastor holds a weekly inquiry meeting. This makes 152 accessions Within six months, including those by letter. Of the converts in the general revival at Pittsfela, Mass., the Methodists have received 140, The revival in Southington, Conn., is one of the most extensive ever enjoyed there. The pastor of the Bedford street Methodist church in this city reports 400 converts as the result of the late meetings. On Sunaay, April 11, Archbishop McCloskey admin- istered the sacrament of conirmation in the Chureh of Our Lady of Sorrows, Pitt street, to 110 persons. Chureb Dedications.

The Passionists in the United States—Their Monasteries and ChurchesAdvaucement of the Order—Some Interesting Facts Relative to their Labors, The efforts of the Roman Catholic priesthood in the advancement of their religion are being ma- terially felt throughout the length and breadth oj the United States. There are several orders among this branch of the clergy to which the palm of merit must be liberally extended in this noble work of the redemption of souls, The Redemptorists, Domint- cans, Paulista, Passionists and other orders, who number among them some of the ablest scholars in the country, are working most assiduously in behal! of the Roman Cathole faith, and that labor is pro- . ductive of a vast amount of beneiit to their cause, Probably one of the most zealous and hard work- Ing of these classes of the clergy is the Order of Passionists. 1t has gained a strong foothold in the . United States and every day through its influence bew fruits are being brought forth in the advance- munnt of religion andenlightenment. This Order was founded in the early part of the eighteenth century by St. Paul of the Cross, who was bora in the Village of Ovada, Italy, on the night of the 3d of January, 1694. Father Pius, who wrote a life of St, Paul, says that the saint's mother “experienced sensations of super- natural pleasure and delight during her pregnancy With this favored child, and the chamber in which he was born shone with a brilliancy which for a short time ovscured the lamps and dazzied those who were present.” The lite of St, Paul was marked with the most extraordinary evi- dences of divine favor, aud the Roman Catholic Church, in order to perpetuate the memory of its great Apostie, in the year 1867 went through the ceremony of canonization, Never was st. Peter's 80 prolific of spiendor and magnificent ceremonial ag upon that occasion, dud those who witnessed the services in the ecstasy of their description have ann them as Lon foretaste of the seraphic ich entrance the Learts of th ihnlom nieve, @ faithiul in the is then the Order of Passtonists, founded by St. —_ which has wituin the last few years estabilsted itself substantially among us. In 1862 the pioneer petents of the Order sets in the United States— i er Anthony, Father Alvinos aud F; gp op pee brother. sical ey first started a foundation of the Order near Pittsburg, Pa., where they took charge of a German congregation and soon erected @ splendid churen and monastery, Apostolic missions were now given and the people froin far and near came to hear the gospel preehes Spm their lips, Several more rests how arrived’in this country from Italy and land, and their labors became more ditfused. About the year 186? a monastery was built. 10 Dunkirk, N. Y., near Butfalo; one year after the fine monastery at Wes bekea was com- menced and last year completed. Two yeara a fo another house was built near Baltimore, There a mis d about forty-five priests of the Order in tho United sates, and numerous parties are being brought over Roman Catholic faith through thetr efforts, . In Irevand, where the Catholic religion flourishes with #0 much earnestness and zeal, the Passioulst Order is looked up to with the greatest veneration, aud several have been sent from the Green Isle to the Cnited States on their missionary labors. At Mount Argus, near Dublin, is a capacious college, church and monastery presided over by the Order. Students whose vocations direct them in this line of the priesthood are here educated and ordained for 4 high calling. The buildings at Mount Argus = hot yet been completed, and a bazaar or draw- 2 ‘as been instituted in order to raise funds for ‘he noble object. At this drawin; valued at is DI ie $20,000 will be distributed, ai ntiemen of the country have taken en active this most charitabl of enterprises.

Dr. Price, of South Wales, Q. B., editor of Seven Cymm (Star of Wales), is expected to arrive in this country with the City of Baltimore, which left Liverpool the 7th inst. The Doctor is one of the most eminent men in the principality of Wales, taking @ lively interest in all public questions, and has eifected more good, it is said, than any four of the best public men in his denomination (the Baptist.) ‘The reverend gentleman was appointed, with the Rev. Mr. Henry, of Scotland, to visit ‘America in the fall, on behalf of the Irish Missionary Society; but he comes thus early so that he may go among his countrymen in their various settlements previously to his entering with Mr. Henry in September upon the special mission to which they have been appointed, We learn that invitations from all parts of the country await Dr. Price’s arrival. however, the fathers got a check, Pius IX, dotea on this Council as a woman dotes upon a child born | to her when she thought herself past chiid- bearing. He cli to this project with the fondness of Jacob for Benjamin, and, there- fore, when these gentlemen, who had hitherto stimulated his apticipations of a glorious new pater- nity, approached him with a suggestion that it might be as well to give up the idea, the re flew into one of his constitutional furtes, and sent the fathers back into their dungeou-like monastry discomiitted, to re- flect on what had best be done under the circum. stances, After a while they resolved to invoke the counsel of Cardinal Bilio, a prelate high in the Pope’s favor, and reported to have been the chief author in the actual composition of the Syllabus, It was thought that when his first passion had subsided Pius IX. might begamenable to the voice of this ap- rovea abettor of his pet desires. The Cardinal, herefore, did go to his Holiness, spoke to him of the unfortunate perversity of mind displayed in the select congregation, and sought to open the intellect of the Holy Father to the grave danger of scandal to the Church in the event of such perversity being manifested in the Council. But the Cardinal had no more favorable reception than his prompters. The Pops, we are informed, was immovable, The Council should meet at the appointed time, he replied, and nothing should in- duce him to postpone its agsembly, But the Pope, though passionate, isa man of tufirm resolution; and if the spirit of insubordénation to Jesuit in- fluence exhibited ta the congregation should prove stubborn, which, no doubt, 1s a considerable as- sumption, and if, ag 13 affirmed, Cardinal sutonellt hag become uneasy at certain manifestations, it is quite on the curds that the Ecumenical Council may be still put off as often and for as long periods as that of Trent was put olf after convocation. But this is of course mere matter of specu'ation. All we can take lor granted is that the happy concert of dummydom, which the Church was supposed to be 80 sure of in its select body of Episcopal tools, made in a certain period of years by Jesuit hands, seems likely to fall to pieces. Insanity of the Catholic Bishop of Chicago. ‘The Chicago Post states that the Right Rev, James Duggan, Bishop of the diovese of Chicago, is now in a sad state of mental afliction, and the rumor which for some time past has prevailed among Ca- tholic circles is at last confirmed. For some time past the least reference to local church matters has strangely agitated him, and this dates back to b:s first return from Rome last August. The excitement in- creased go that his household at last were careful not to refer to such matters in his presence. The fear of some coming danger impressed itself strongly upon nis mind and kept him wakeful both day and night, When, a few weeks ago, Archbisnop Ken- rick, of St. Louis, visited Bishop Duggan he advised @ change of scene, and suggested his removal to St. Louis, both for the latter's beaith and in order that he (the Archbishop) might have matters under his personal supervision. To vr, Duggan agreed, but when all was ready and he was crossing the threshold to the car- Tage he suddenly drew back, saying that Kenrick ished to get him arrested, and retired to his pri- vate room. The idea that he has been convicted of some. serious crime has fora long time filled his brain, and he believes the officers to be watching without for him, to geize him the moment he shall emerge. ‘fhough on ordinary matters he is rational, yet on ecclesiastical matters he is really insane. A umber of the best physicians are attend. ing him, but fear that he cannot re- cover unless removed from this place, to which all his strange fancies are connected. ‘This sad case is connected unpleasantly with the ecclesiastical war of last year between the Bishop and the parish priests, whose removal was the re- sult and in one instance the death of one of them (Dr. Dunne), whose proud heartcould not brook the supposed di of removal and reprimand, and whose death caused such an intense feeling among hia flock and the Catholic people of the city gener- ally. So great was tnis feeling that at tne funeral services tile Bisiop did not deein it advisable to ap- pear, for it was loudly proclaimed among the indig- nant and impulsive people that if he did appear the services should cease aod the body would be re- moved from the church. Help for the Georgin Baptists. Mr. A. B. Sharp, of Georgia, isin New York, to raise money to aid in completingthe First Baptist church of Atlanta. This church has been struggling hard for two years, and Is now near completion, but the congregation having exhausted their own re- sources, the work, we learn, will have to stop, un- less they can obtain a little assistance. This appeal comes endorsed by all the pastors of Atlanta, with- out denominational distinction, the business men of the place and ail tue prominent Oltigials, 5 Sao Moving Day in a Religious Point of View. The Observer has some remarks about living tn hired houses and moving on the ist of May, in the course of which it says:—Moving shows how much rubbish there 1s in the house. Nobody knows how Much rubbish he nas, nor how much furnitare he has, till he comes tomove. Rubbish is sin in the soul. It must be cleared out. Sin 13 the rubbish, the nuisance, the curse of the world. it touched the earth when it was beautifui in the perfection of its morning and the thorns ana briers sprang up to choke its fruits and flowers.

We shal! have no rent to pay. It is ours—ours forever.” Who can talk of high rents after this? Of course this has nothing to do with pew rents in fashionable charches, Grand Catholic Celebration in New Orleans. The New Orleans Times of the 13th instant states that the one hundred thousand Catholics in that city appeared to be all assembled on the previous Sunday in and around the old Cathedral of St. Louis and the Jackson square to participate in the grand celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Pope’a promotion to the sacredotal dignity, and the twenty-third anniversary of his Pontifical sovereignty. The Zimes adds:—‘It was cert one of the grandest popular manifestations ever made in this city. In point of numbers it ex- ceeded any assemblage we ever witnesged, In the grandeur and sublumity of the scene, in the earnest enthusiasm and devotion of tne multitude, in the vast array of women and children, in the tasteful and appropriate ornaments, and the solemnity of the ceremonies, everything combined to render the oc- casion one which impressed all beholders with an awe, reverence and respect for the sincerity and earnestness of those who had thus gathered in such vast multitude to tes! their veueration for the great father and head of the Catholic Church.” A Papal Brief on the Pope’s Somi-Centennial. The followicg 1s a copy of a \etter fromthe Pope having reference to the semi-centennial anniversary of his elevation to the priesthood (April 11):— Pope Pius IX. to all the faithful who shall read the present letter, health and the apostolic bless- ing. That which we hardly hoped would be pos- petit the midst of our great and very grievous cares, that the Most High should grant us @ term of life suficientiy long to celebrate the holy sacrifice with more solemn pomp on the fulfilment of the fiftieth year of our reception of the priesthood, will take place, if God shall so please, on the eleventh day of the ayarreoning April. This day, which dlls our heart with joy, has afforded to the faithful a fresh opportunity ‘of manifesting their piety and roving their deference towards us. For they, with incredible desire, congratulating us on so fortunate an évent, have humbly presented to us earnest prayers that we ii to add spiritual advan- tages to the joys of this day, and open on their behait the celestial treasures of the church whose distri- bution God has entrusted to us. Conversion to the Jewish Faith. The Chicago Times states that a few days ago there arrived in that city from Dubuque, Iowa, a lit- tle party, consisting of @ mother and daughter, a young man, the afflanced of the latter, and a few friends of the three. They made their home while here with av. acquaintance of the mother, residing on Third avenue. The names of the principal actors in the affair are Isaac M. Platt, ® young merchant doing business in the city last mentioned, and Mrs. and Miss Van Emend, The daughter, a beautifu young lady of seventeen years, isa native of this country, but Mrs, Van Eimend was born in Germany. The mother has for nearly twelve years been a mem- ber in good and regular standing of a prominent oo ‘ical Cop ag em m Dabuque. Saturday morning Rabbi Dr. coslager of the Kehilath, situ- ated at the coruer of Harrison street and Fourth avenue, Benay Sholon synagogue, fas Dotitled that Mrs. Van Emend and her davghter bad visited Chicago solely for the purpose formally accept- ing the Jewish faith, In evening the Rabbi cailed at the Louse where the pary were stopping and performed the ceremony of receiving them into the Jewish Church. These services were, at the request of the persons concerned, strictly private, no per- sons béing admitted to the house but a few friends. The exercises requisite upon occasions of this char- acter having been concluded, the Kgbbl was inform. ed that his work was only half concluded, the part remaining in abeyance | that of oficiating at the marriage of Mr. Platt aud Miss Van Emend. The time fixed for this interesting finale of the whole transaction was on yesterday afternoon, and the selected was the synagogue already mentioned. @ of the event was soon circulated among fol- lowers of the Hebrew creed, the result being that the piace in question was completely filled with a gather- ing of the faith in Chicago. The beautiful, thougi somewhat lengthy, marriage ceremony of the Church having been completed, the bridal party returned to the residence of the friend on Third avenue, when they were waited npon and congratulated by a few acquaintances preparatory to their departure for Dubuque. The Times comments editorially upon the above event, and throws out the following suggestions, Which will be particularly interesting to our New England brethrea:— There have latterly been several conversions of Christians to the Hebrew faith. In each case the change has been accompanied by the immediate marriage of the parties undergoing the conversion. We think that these facts caanot but suggest to any man of ordinary observation the inquiry, may not Matrimony be made effective as a tMuissionary agency?

A Lively Season Anticipated. To THE Epiron or THB H&BALD:— The joyous announcement of spring ts to none more welcome than to the true lover of the turl, who, of long winter's nights, has ‘shouldered his crutch and shown how fields were won,” recounted the varying fortunes of closely contested races and discussed at length the relative merits of diferent strains of blood. To him, besides “life and song,” the incoming season brings news of the campaign waving gloriously begun. The Orst shot has been fired, the clash of ais, or rather of hoofs, has been heard on the plains of Mobiic and New Orleans, and, ceasing tolive on the reminis¢énces of the past, he looks forward to the prospects of the future and scans minutely the promises of our racing eatablianments in this section of the country. in this examina- tion we invite the reader to follow him. A short prologue opens the play at Paterson, the pioneer of racing at the North, and then we come to the fine programme of the American Jockey Club. In the beginning of the month of June our modern games begin, and @ match-day has been set aside to try the mettle of some terribly high bred colts. The first regular race day opens with a hurdle race of one mile and three-quarters, welter weights. This shows that the club has wisely turned a deaf ear to the clamoss set up about the danger of hurdie and steeple chases, the necessity of discouraging them, and all the nonsense that, at stated periods, finds its way into print, The first flat race announced 1s the one mile and one-quarter handicap, in which twenty have cried content and accepted their imposts. Our old friend, the indomitabie mare Ruthless, heads the list with the steadying weight of 121 lbs. In her three year old form she was the queen of the turf, winner of the Beimont stakes at Fordham, the ‘Travers and Sequel stakes at Saratoga, carrying 5 Ibs. penalty in the last mentioned race, and there- fore deserves this onerous honor. It is true that sho succumbed to De Courcey in the St. Leger at Pater- gon, but she was notably out of condition, and had to be thrown out of training immediately after. Her old admirers would hail her presence at the post with joy, and would bear in mind that her clever owner would never bring her there if he were not practically certain that she can handle, with a fair show of succeas, her 10 lbs. above weight for age. Bayswater, at 118 ibs., follows next, and seems to be well in on paper, for he has to his credit the best time on record for one mile and a half (2:38). _R. B. Connolly is fairly treated at 115, his past perform. ances being very creditable, especially at about this distance. We have no particular fancy for Metairie and Dickens at this same weight. The ‘‘crack’’ three year old of 1368, General Duke, 1s treated with severity at 114, and we would preter nis chauces in a longer race. ‘the flying filly Nemesis at 109 will be remembered for the beating she gave Lancaster last year, making the one mile and one-quarter in 2:12%. Among the lower weights we particularly like Corsican at 105, La Polka at 104 and Bonnie Lraes at 103. After a merry spin of five-eighths of a mile for two- ear olds, of Whom we have yet to form an opinion, he annual fixed event of the Belmont stakes next claims our attention. It nas ciosed with thirty- seven nominations and promises a fine field. Our choice for this rich stake is the colt by Daniel Boone, entered by Mr. Cottrill, after whom he is named. He made his firat appearance last year as & two-year old under the care of Captain Moure. He and his stable companion, Carrie P., will certainly come to contend for this valuable prize. We hope Mr. O'Fallon, with Alta Vela, wil try to revel in this, the defeat he suffered mh Cottrill at New Orleans. Colonel McDaniel has Bonnie Lass and others engaged. Mr. Morria will be represented by a formidabie array of young Eclipses, who have oft carried the scarlet tothe front. Mr. Sanford’s fine selections of Lex- ington blood will be highly tried and the pick of the staple will be sent to do battle for the popular blue of thelr gentlemanly owner. Others too numerous to name are expected to join in this contest, and a “dark’’ one may be lurking in the unmentioned entries, On our second day the great race of the meeting takes place. We mean the “Westchester Cup.” It has always produced a fine and close contest. ‘The year of its inauguration it was won by Mr. Sanford’s Load- scone, the gallant gray, by serie He out of Biue Bonnet, the worthy brother of the famous band— ‘Thuader, Lighting and Lancaster, After making 9 waiting race of it under the careful guidance of the young jockey Hayward, who nur: him for one great effort, he came like an avalanche oa the home- stretch and beat by a head poor Onward, who had Tun (ag he could when in the humor) ike a true, iy? horse. The clever riding of Hayward electri- ied the galleries; he looked centaurlike, as if he and the horse formed but oue, and the assembled crowds gave vent to their pent-up feelings of enthusiasm in wild applause and admiring burrahs. Last season the sporting fraternity came heavily to grief in this same race. They Picked oyf bs goat Moore’s beautitul ily, Fanny Cheatham, as the winner, and ©Snsidered it such @ certainty that they made her a hot favorite at 100 to 40 inst a fine fleid. Some unexplained reason made her finish last instead of first, aud Dr. Weldon’s Local, a speedy gon of Light- ning, after a ne brush with James A. Connoily, took the prize, ‘This year we have nineteen nominations; and such nominations! Who will venture to name the winner between Ruthless, Monday, Local, The Banshee, Plantagenet, General Duke, Vauxhall, James A, Connolly, Bayonet, Nemesis ‘and Australia? We would name three for first honors—Bayonet, for is consecutive heats, 134544, 1:454¢, im the Champion stakes last y : recent performance at New Orleans, 5:31 and 6:2 for three mile heats; uxhall, for his two handicaps at <.'¢ fall meeting of isos, Won on the same day, in 3:093 10. “Le One and three-quarter mile, and 2:123, for the one anu °8¢-quarter mile dash; Ruthless, for old “teem a sake and for what we have alres mentioned of her perioTm- auces in 1807.

There are three others engaged iu this, bat we think their winning chances slim unless the two first named should prove absentees. Among the other fixed events we must not forget the Ladies’ stake—for fillies only—in imitation to the Oaks of Engiand. it has closed with twenty-seven nomina- tions and seems to be a very open race. Our favor- ite for the Belmont, Cottrill, is excluded from this stake, and bis stable companion of the gentler sex, Carrie P., will have to combat single-handed for the Southern interests.

Now this, we think, was @ wise and sensible measure of reform (which we have seen advocated in your columns). It did not decrease the receipts of the club; it rather promised to increase them, Tor sine might go that Way who would scorn to be present witha quarterstretch ticket only; it did not discourage joining the club and becoming members, for a man —= being in the position of obliging a riend rather than in that of being dependent on one. Wo are yet ignorant of the oljections urged against this reform, but we know the fact that it was voted down under the weight of an odious amend- ment (that of making it read “ Bach life member,” instead of annual member), We hear that another meeting ts to be held next week, and we hope the liberal-ininded meinbers who were absent at the last will tura out tn strong force, at this very measure Will again be brought under consideration, and that some reform will be adopied that will satia- fy the puvile pund. JULIAN, RACING AT NEW ORLEANS, The Wind-up of the Metairie Meeting. NEW ORLBANS, April 10, 1869, The Metairie week closed to-day. It has been, upon the whole, one of the most successful meetings ever held in the South, Among its immediate results is the establis! nt of @ subscription stable in New Orleans by the Metairie Club, and the probable es- tablishment of another private training establish. ment by Wilson & Lipscomb, theenterprising lessees of the course, who have bought Locust Postas a nucleus, If the club would only condense the seven days’ meeting into say four, and give three races a day instead of two, the Metairie spring meeting would take a deal of beating. The two mile dash to-day for beaten horses brought out the Banshee, General Eweil and Gilroy. The Genoral was the favorite at fifty to fitteen against the feild, and few takers.

Plantagenet made the runuing from the start for the firat two rounds, Bayo- net second, and Locust Post, apparently under a pull, third. On reaching the quarter post in the third round Bayonet gradually drew up to the leader, ‘nd they went along the backstretch testing each other’s powers fully, When nearing the three-quarter post the white stripe jacket of Locust Post, Jock, Was seen to dash up to the leaders, and aimost si- multaneously Plantagenet was seen to fall back, leaving Bayonet with the lead and Locust Post in close attendance.

Lonpon, March 27, 1869, The week just expiring being Passion week, actual sport has been almost completely at a stand still, and the races held in some unknown districts in various parts of the country are altogether beneath contempt. Racing men, with all their faults, have sufficient good taste to prevent them running coun- ter to the current of public opinion, and they have accordingly confined themselves to their resorts in town. Even from these they were driven yesterday, Good Friday, and those who went to the Albert or the Victoria Clubs to get @ little money on their fancies were wofully disappointed, for the doors were shut, During the earlier portion of the week, however, a2 enormous amount of speculation took place, more particularly on the City and Suburban, which is run on Tuesday next at Epsom, and which ia at present exciting great interest.

To THe EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— We are pleased to notice the return of this ‘“Nautt- cal internationality” to her original port of depar- ture and with it some especially gratifying and handsome acta of kindness towards her famous master and navigator John M. Hudson. The popular interest evinced abroad in his exploits and the later manifestations of continuing good will towards him by prominent ana important institutions .fos- tered by governments, are unmistakable proofs of ‘uecidedly friendly sentimems towards the country whose nautical reputation and science has been en- hanced by Captain Hudson wherever printing is known, It is curious to see the astonishing and admiring publicity—“Girdling the Earth’—which newspapers have given to Captain Hudson and thefull rigged soll lifeboat. It thas Captain Hudson was through ircu compelled to leave his ship high and dry on the shores of the Thames and return to New York for aid, whicn being furnished by some yacht club friends a morege to England was necessary for her extrication. The chief of the North German Lloyd's Bureau, Mr. Schirmer—becoming aware of the des- tination of our navigator—under the authority of Oelrich & Co., at once tendered to Captain Hudson a free pomene out for himself and, with his ship, to re- turn by their splendid line of steamers, which waa ment and not @ Httle amusement. You are very ly availed of, and the liberalit; of the proffer likely aware tnat Sir Joseph Hawley, who has won so | most fully ettected by the care and kindness of Cap- tain Wenke and officers on board the Hermann many Derbies, is so highly esteemed by all classes of sporting folks, both as a judge of racing and as an honest man, that any animal of hia which he chooses to back becomes at once a tremendous favorite. On Tuesday last his City and Suburban candidate Vaga- bond was “tried” at Kingsclare with The Palmer, Blue Gown and King Cophetua, all of whom he beat at the weights with great ease. It was to the inter- est of the party, of course, to keep the fact secret; but the ‘touts’? had been watching anxiously all the morning, and from their coverts had witnessed the experiment, The “wires’’ were immediately put in use for their employers, and before six o’clock at night the news was flashed to every cor- ner of the kingdom. Those who were thus put on the alert at once sent out their agents in all directions, and before ten o'clock at night the horse had been backed for thousands of pounds down toa short price. The betting men in during a fine run of ten days, nine hours to South- Mr. George Mackenzie, the popular and ‘ansatiantic line of desirable to embark “the ship” at Havre, cominuni- cated specially to the coon at Paris, and on the arrival out of Captain Hudson a repetition of the North German Lloyd's liberality and con- sideration was experienced by his being offi- cially informed that a@ first class stateroom passage for himself and deck room for the ship was at his disposal on board of any of their mag- nificent steamers, and on board the Europe @ very severe passage Was made safe and agreeabie by the skill and courtesy of Captain Danre and hia officers. Acts like these can but be duly and highly estimated by Americans generally. “In adwiration of nautical exploits no unworthy feeling has counteracted the common pulse of men," says an eloquent writer in Hunt’s Yachting Maga. zine. “The voyage of this miniature ship will live in nautical records as long as ocean roils.” Tue Emperor welcomed her as the first ship having reached the wharves of Paris from the, emporium of the United States. “The most fearful perils of London, Manchester, Shemeld, Birminguam and ponents ped po gs down” by th Pg a other centres were out betimes on the following luck and indom! le courage of one of us, and this morning, and several who were not aware of what suinntes tictiees, yout Some do tear cs a feats on had been going on were induced to lay 10 and even | land and water. kome other events have be = unsaid 0 in the Captain’s adventures in search ship on reaching London and the Thames.

So eager was the desire, however, to back Vagabond that before business commenced at the higher clasa clubs 6 to 1 was taken about him; and accordingly, when Mr. Herring, Sir Joseph Hawiley's betting agent, came down to the Victoria to execute his commission, that was the best price he could get.

The contrary, however, was the result of this attempt to ‘rig the market,” for backers were not to be hoodwinked, and on Thursday, the desire to in- vest being still on the increase, as little as 3 to 1 was taken. At the same time it was observed that several persons, who were well known as confeder- ates of Mr. Herring, were also laying against the horse, and for a little this gave rise to an uneasy feeling that he would not be seen at the pout. It is certain that by the Ay licy Of the commissioner Sir Joseph Hawley uot yet succeeded in backing his representative for a shilling. Vagabond may or may not run, and it would not be unnatural if the owner should, under the circumstances, “scratch” him fur this race; but no one will believe that a man of his honesty would deliverately order his agent to lay ageinst candidate in order to pocket the money for which the public supported him. The consequence 18 that if the horse does not start tue commissioner will Lave to take the responsibility of the bets he laid, and by getting hold of tue backers’ investments risk @ compromise of Sir Joseph Haw- ley’s reputation. Another case of the same sort, which also occurred on Wednesday, was that of The Sawyer, who 1s the property of a well kaown Lon- don betting man, and was rumored to have an ex- cellent chauce.
