SPAIN AND CUBA. FRANCE. Herald Special Report -from Madrid. Stormy Debate on Cuban Affairs in the Spanish Cortes. Slavery Not to be Abolished Till the War is Over. The Insurrection to be Crushed Forthwith. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HENALD. We have received the following despatch from the Heratp’s special correspondent at Madrid, by way of London. It shows that while the ruling classes of Spain are not yet tired of the effort to subdue the Cuban insurrection there is mach opposition in the Cortes to the fur- ther prosecution of the war :— Lonpon, July 14, 1871, There was a very stormy debate in the Spanish Cortes on the 10th instant on the con- dition of Cuba, the debate arising upon a motion to censure the government on its course toward the people of that unfortunate island. ALMOST A BATTLE IN THE CHAMBERS. The speeches on both sides were exceedingly violent and the excitement in the Chamber was intense. At one time a battle between the members seemed imminent, the most furious character, the hot Spanish blood of the partisans being almost to a boil- ing heat. Hadit not been for the fact that Spaniards talk louder than they fight a koock- down could not have byen avoided. THE GOVERNMENT AFRAID. The most singular part of the proceedings The scene was of waa the fact that the goverument was afraid to face a voice, and avoided it by long explana- tions of its conduct toward Cuba, The posi- tion assumed by the Ministers was that Spain could not extend to the provinces laws made by the Assembly since the revolution, nor abolish slavery till the insurrection in Cuba is suppressed. TE MOTION The opposition were asked to withdraw thelr motion of censure, and this was done; but it was immediately renewed by another member. ANOTHER DEBATE, LASTING ALL NIGHT. This was followed by a debate more violent, If possible, than the frst, It lasted all night; but at length the fiery elements were subdued, or wearied out, and the government secured 2 triumph in the end.

Debate in the House of Lords on the Abolition) Guang Assemblage of Beauty of Purchase in the Army, The Earl of Carnarvon Against the Government Measure. Gord Derby Denouncing the Pur- chase System. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonnon, July 14, 1871. ‘The London Times of to-day makes the New York riots the text for an article upon tne condition of affatrs in Ireland, which concludes as follows:—‘If Irish feuds areas implacable in America as they are in Ireland, and more sanguinary, Irishmen must ask themselves whether Irish navure 1s not more respon- slvle for the troubles in Ireland than English mis- rule.” THE ABOLITION OF PURCHASE IN THE ARMY, In the House of Lords to-night the debate on the bill for the reorganization of the army was con- tinued. Several prominent tory members opposed tho proposed abolition of the purchase system, on the ground of its being unjus? to the present officers of the army, and involviug heavy expenditure to the country. ‘The Ear! of Carnarvon denied that the abolition of purchase would improve the quality of army oflcers, He stated as his belte/ that it would, on the contrary, lower the tone of the aervice by introducing a sys- tem of favoritism. To the latter system he partly ascribed the disasters of the French army, His Lordship concluded by saying that the present army bill was only a makeshiit, that the purchase sys- tem was a peculiarly Engiish institutton, and that the substitution of any other system would tend to deprive the British army of those very character- istics which gave It superiority over Continental armies, The tory members applauded tats speech. Several liveral members, however, combated the argu- ments of the Berl of Carnarvon, making a stout de- | fence in favor of the abolitlon of purchase and tho reorganization of the army. A SINGULAR SURPRISK—THE KARL OF DERBY TURN- ANG LIBERAL. ‘Toward the end of the debate the Earl of Derby arose and startled the tory benches to the highest pitch of astontshment by denouncing the purchase sygtem as one of the evils which impaired the eficioncy of the army, Its abolition, be contended, will not only be a} great reform in itself, but facilitate other reforms and increase the numerical strength of the army. 1 He did not look upon the bill as a party measure. | He placed the broader views of patriotism above | those of party, and feit bound to support the mea- sure, as being for the good of the country, Lora Derby concluded by recommending a fair scheme for the retirement of officers, ana resumed nis seat amid great applause from the liberal benches. The Earl of Carnarvon made another effort against the measure. He strongly opposed Lord Derby's arguments, but failed to make any marked impres- sion on the majority of the membe! THE NINTH REGIMENT.

Great Contest Between Longfellow auc’ Kingfisher. LONGFELLOW CHAMPION OF AMERICA, St. Patrick Winner of the Saratoga Stakes, Longfellow the Saratoga Cup and By the Sea the $600 Purse for Three-Year- Olds, One and a Half Mile. SARATOGA, July 14, 4871, Jt isa mistake to suppose that all running race courses are alike in their characteristios, and that the scenes constentiy recurring on One are similar to all the others. Jerome Park has its own incidents of note, its representatives of wealth and fashion pecullarly metropoliian to a great degree; Mom mouth Park Is essentially ditferent, as ito votaries contrast iu many particulars with those of the former, and while & discerning person might select the body of such, one from the other, he would re+ cord in the latter instance a wonderful degree of the democratic sentiment among them, a familiari- ty not perhaps found ta the first named. But Sara- toga, on its racing grounds, combines ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS and its atteadants embrace men and women of every nationality aud representatives from every State in the Union. The assembiages cannot be de- seribed. They are lovers of speed in horseflesh and a brilliant performance stirs their feelings so enthu- siastically that it ripples and bubbles over and over like childish glee, The excitement on the Grand Stand at Saratoga afier a weli-contested struggle cannot easiiy be torgotten. To-day the races EXCITED THE GREATEST SPECULATION. ‘The interest centred on the grand contest of the season, the “Saratoga Cup,” which was to come olf; and yet, after all, it was merely @ match race, a8 from twelve nominations but two responded to the bugle call These were Harper's great Longfellow and Belmont's great Kingfisher, The first had frightened the other ten, and none dared to compete with him but the New York panker’s favorite clipper. The sporting men were very anxious as to the condition and health of these entmals; and if any one could have issued an hourly bulletin imparting such in- formation he would have been numbered with the class of philanthropists, These horsemen walked early to the TABLES THIS MORNIN long before the sun was up and the church spires washed with its golden ether, with the intention of gathering such information as would aid them in placing their money. be it known en passant that there were but few pools sold on this event, as your professional dislikes to eater the “box” when but two horses are selling, and thus most of the betting was done privately, with Longfellow an overwhelm- Ing favorite. So early was it that the track Was almost wrapped in silence when they arrived, One or two contra- bands leaned agatnst the fence, and others reposea on benches, with cavalry blankets as piiows. They jooked confounded lazy, and appeared as if uney leved to “loaf and invite their souls." The happiest specimen of the black group was the orange-ciad boy of yesterday that rode Ectiptic to victory. The bright costume had gone. Barefooted, and with clothes considerably worse for wear, “toced’’ all the way from Virginia and lacking much of the pic- turesque, he lay haif asicep, with his head io the doorway of his “master’s” stable and feet elevated upon a water pall just beyond, It looked as if he had offered the worn-white bottoms of his ieet as a flag of truce not to be awakened, and his expression denoted that he was satistiod and enjoyed tne hailu- ciumation of belag COMPORTABLY UNDRESSED TN BED. Life to the young o# band that lustant was pleasan®, and secmed to have been arrested, in his case, not exactly as it was in the Palace of the Sleeping Beauty, for I discovered but hive pictur- esqueness in bis siurabers, and I did not believe any beautiful young princess would ever want to wake him witn @ kiss. ‘The dull, waiting stience brooding in the atmos- phere was soon broken. The phantasmagoria of sleeping jockeys, ruobera and stable boys was changed to a scene of activity. A remarkable look- ing black hero, with his wool spread thin and fine over his skull, reminding me of the CRISP BLACK MOSS which grows on rocks, emerged from Buford’s sta- ble, and showing his rows of white teeth, twinkling a pair of brignt eyes and looking as 11 he wished lis breakfast, this veteran placed is huge hands to nus mouth in acon kslicll siape manner and splattered out @ bose Like the monotonous clank of car wheels—it was the stablemen’s “REVSILLS TO THE MORN.” Then my orange-clad boy of yesterday was wide- awake, and soon ali was excitement, He aud his | mabogony neighbors preliminary work per- | formed, in front of Dosweil’s staple, wita a jervor and vivacity worthy Dan Bryant's tmnt taiion, & sort of Cotwanche war dance.

THE KNIGHTS TKMPLAR BALL, at the Granct Union last atgi, was a great success aud worthy of tiese whe carried it through so pleasantly. THE RAGING, ‘This being considered the great day of the meet- mg, a0 immense crowd attended the races, The track was in capital condition, and altuough we had a sprinklimg of rain just as the raciug began, it Was more beneficial than injurtous, We had three capital races—tue frat being a three-quarter dash for two-year-olds, the second we race between Longtellow and Kingfisher for the Saratega Cup, and a dash of a mile and a halt between tures olds—the winner of the Belinont, the Ladies* or the ‘Traver’s Stakes neing excluded. In the first race, which Was tho Saratoga Shakes, oul of thirty-two entries tive came ty the post. ‘These were Mr. F. Morris’ bay cois St. Patrick, py Eclipse, dam Slasher Barbartty; Colonel MeDanici's chestnut colt Jo Damels, by Australian, dam: Dolly Carier; Mr. A. Beimont’s chéstnut tilly Victoria, by Censor, dam Camilia; Mr FM. Hal’s gray colt Frank Swill, bv Eugene, dam Faith, and R, W. Cameron's brown filly, by Leamington, dam Floride. Colonel MeDan- jel’s colt had the call in the betting, Mr. Morris’ being a strong second favorite, in some of the pools selling for more than the other. The race wasa capital one and Mr, Morris’ coit wou it in galiant style, Colonel McDaniel’s second and Mr. Belmonts third, Then came the great event of the day—the contest between Lopgiellow and Kingtisher, none of the other ten entries for tue Cup daring to run with them, This race had the appearance of a match between these great celeprities, Since the entries were made, and during the whole of last winter and this spring, discussion has been rife on the merits of these two distinguished racers, and large amounts have from time to time been posted on the issue. Before the appearance of Longteliow at Long Branch the betting between Kingfisher and Long- fellow was couuuonly at even; but when this grent Weetern giant defeated Preakuess and Meimbold in such hollow style at Monmouth Park, odds began to be asked by the trtends of Kingfisher. One tuindred to eighty Was given, and in some Imsiances more; but when Lyttelton and Express ‘bot belongmy to Mr. Harper, tie owner of Longfellow), w beaten by second Class horses, fears were expressed that the stabie was ainiss, and it was thought that Long- fellow himself might not be up to the mark when taken to Saratoga. Thus the betting in faver of Kingilsher again advanced. Mr. Betmont’s Finesse and By the Sea ran here, aud as ney were palpabL: oat of condition, iears again arose in the minds of the speculacors about Kingtisher. When the crowas, however, reached here and were sauisfled that botit eup tothe mark, and were in the f padition, one hundred to seventy be curreat odds on the race. As the tine roached for the ce ever, the backers of ‘ingfisher did Lot seem as anxious to get oa their favorite at the previous olds, two to one and were accommordated, and this in face of the rumors of Kingfisuer’s trial of two miles with his shoes on in 3:04, Winch experienced turimen acknowledged was equal to with plates. This worning 1,v00 to 600 Was Wagered on Longiellow by a Kentucky gentleman, and two to one became cur- rent allover town. There was more of this ofercd than taken, and greater odds were demanded. Fimally ten to tour became current, and tlus siate of the odds continued until the bugle sounded for the horses to be saddled, The Western men were de- termined to have their money on the favorite at any price, and in many instances 10 to 30 were laid on their favorite. Boi horses when stripped showed the great care that had been given them by their respective train- ers, and they were faultless in potnt of condition. ‘They were greativ admired by their respeciive back- era, and as they took their preliminary gallops all eyes were riveted on their movements. Two finer looking specimens of the equine race were never presented to the public view por appeared on a race track to contend for faine. The race heing two miles and a quarier, the horses were started from t three-quarter pole, at the head of the homestrete! As they moved down there all eyes were turned in that direcuion, and when the Nag fell tor the start & breathless stillness pervaded the course for several seconds. Lougtellow at ouce dashed to the iead and cat oul the worg, that being the crder of Mr. Harper to mea jockey.
