But there were reasons, and strong reasons, Why the public should not have ‘been leit to grope out for itself the meaning of a step so serious as the movement of a naval squadron toward a country disturbed both by revolt and by am outbreak of mur- Gerous fanaticism. And yet explanation was resolutely withheld. The expectation of a rupture pervaded the public mind.

TURKISH PERRITORIAL INTEGRITY. I may be aske seriously or taunt- hether there ts not aiso a fourth to be added— the maintenance of the “territorial integrity ot Turkey.’’ As regards the territorial imtegrity of Turkey, | for one am sill desirous to soe it upheld, ‘hough I do not say that desire should be treated us o! thing paramount to still bigher objects of policy. For of all the objects of cy, 1D my conviction, humantt: rationully understood, and in due relation to justice, 18 the tirst and highest. My behef is that this great aim need not be compromised and that other important objets would be gained by maintatning the terrtorial integrity of Turkey. There is no reason to suppose that at the present moment any of the Continental Powers aro governed by eelllsh of agzressive views 10 their Eastern policy. * * * The peculiar conforma- tion of Austria, in respect to territories and to the rac which inhabit them, has operated and will probably, at Jeast for the present, operate so as to neutralize this temptation, In the case of Russia we have been play- | ing, through our government, agame of extreme tn- discretion, * *°* We have acted toward her as if she had a present conspiracy in hand and as if the future did not exist or never could arrive, But regard Mt oruol, arrive twill, * * * If @ conviction can bat be engendered in the Christian, that ts tor the pres- ent purpose mainly the Slavonic mind of the Tur provinces that Wussia is ther stay and England their enemy, then, indeed, the command of Russia over the future of Eustern Kurope ts awsured, And this con- Vietion, through the last six months, we have done everyting that was im our power to beget and con: firm, With THE RXAMPLE OF ROUMANIA before us, let us bope at least that the territorial Integ- rity of Turkey need not be impaired, while Europe suinmons and requires her to adopt the measure which is the very least that the cuse demands, namely. total withdrawal of the administrative rule of the Turk trom Bulgaria, as Well as, and even moro than, from Herzegovina wnd trom Bosnia, It would not be practicable, even if it were hon- oruble, to disguise the real character of what we want trom the government, It is a cha of attitade and policy—nothing less. We want them to undo and eflace that too just impression, which, while keeping their own countrymen so much in the dark, they have succeeded im propagating throughout Europe that we are the determined supporters of the Turk, and that, declaring his “integrity and inde- pendence”? essential to ‘British interests,” we have winked hard aud shall wink, if such be, harder still, according to the exigencies of the case, alike at his crimes and’ at bis impotence, We want to place our- selves in harmony with the general sentiment of civilized mankind, tnstead of being any longer, as we seem to be, the evil genius which dogs, aud vars aod bullies 1, We want to make the Turk understand that in conveying this impression by word and act to hig mind the British government have misunderstood, and, therefore, have intsrepreecnted, the seuse of the British people. THE ALPHA AND oMBGA, But I return to and 1 end with that which {s the Omega as well as the Alpha of this great and most mournful case. An old servant of the Crown and State, 1 chtreat my countrymen, upon whomelar more than perhaps any other people of Europe it depends, to require, and to insist, that our government, which | has been working in one direction shail work ty the other, and shall apply. ail its vigor to concur with the other States of Europe in obtaining the extinction ‘of the Turkish executive power im Bulgaria. Let the Turks now carry away their abuses 11 the only possible manner, namely—bvy carry'ng off themselves, Their Zuptieba and their Mudirs, their Bimbashis and their Yazbachis, their Kaimakaus and their pachas, oue and ull, bag and bag- gage, shall, Lhopo, clear out from the provineo they have desolated and protaned. This thorough riddance, tis most blessed deliverance, ts the only reparation we can make to the momory of those beapy on heaps of deaa; to the violated purity alike of matron, ot maiden and of child; to the civilization whicn has been affronted and shamed; to tho laws of or, if you like, ot Allah; to the moral sense of mankind at large, There not @ crimt- nal ina European jail, there is not @ cannibal in the South Sca_ Islands; whose indignation would not rise and overboil at the recital of that which has been done, which bag too lute been examined, but which remains unavenged; which Jett Leluad all the foul and all the fierce passions that produced it, and which may again spring up in auother murderous harvest trom the soil soaked and reeking with blood, and tn the air Wanted with every tinnginable decd of crime aud shame.

There wero not many spectators on tho grounds, and the place presented rather a forsaken ing aspect, which contrasted strong!y with A cow ranges and = ant- mated appearance the fleld on last Wednes- day and Thursday, It was thought that the hurri- cane, which raged with xo much violence 1 this city on Sunday, would have made ribbohs of the lines of tents which are pitched on the west side of the enclos- ure.” Nothing of the sort, however, happene day these canvas habitations appeared fresh aud white after the bleaching process which they had undergone the day before, Some of them were blown a little out of the perpendicular, but with the exception of the Irish team tent anda provisional shooting gallery, which latter has lately been erected, the others man- aged to keep trom falling. The Irish team tent waa levelled to the ground, and the British union jack, with the crowned harp of Erin on a blue tleld, was prone to the earth, where it rested during the day. Throughout the day there was avery strong breeze blowing from the south-southwest up the ranges at a small angle to the line of fire, The sky was cloudy und the light good, Considering the force of the wind, tho unprecedented score of Mr, Fullgraf, of the Twenty-second regiment, who made thirty-(our out of & possible thirty-five points, 16 all the more remurk- able.

Yesterday Colonol De Lancey Kane recommenced the coach trips between New York and Pelham Bridge, Starting from the Hotel Brunswick at cleven A. M. ‘The morning was one to add a zest to the enjoyment ofan “outside fare,” for the rain of the previous day had cooled the airand laid the dust, The tonic, brac- Ing air of September, calculated to fll the mind with charming faucies of steaming, fragrant’ ragouts, luscious, juicy steaks and foaming mugs of ale; the clear, vlue sky above, with here and there a fleck ot white; the spirited horses, the loud, clear bugie call, and the deeldedly agreeable companionship of over- coats, all leat to this first autumao ride of the Peluam coach the realism of that happy ideal resident in the mind after reading of the sport in “Merrie England.”” Owing to the untavorable and very unreliable d.ctum of “Old Prob,’’ the coach was not as full as could be wighed, as the old gontleman Just mentioned proclaimed that rain would fall. The tavored few who started were amply rewarded for their hardihood, for a more pieasaut, health-giving trip was never run. As the coach proceeded on its routedrom the Brunswick up through the Park the golden wealth of autumn maniiested itself at every turn; merry cheers through the clear, - bright wit reached the outsiders on the coach, and the magnetic crack of the driver’s whip seut a thrill through the passengers and awakened the lagging horses, At Mount St. Vincent Hotel quite a party bad assembled and tho coach was gayly greeted. As it thundered down the hill toward the northern end of the Park many bands could be scen stretched in the direct:on ot the old fort which on Saturday was the scene of the contennial anniversary of the battle of Harlem Plains. The coach disappeared tor a little while, but was shortly seen by the watchers on Mount St. Vincent, # bright yellow speck on the b:oud Boule: vard, moviag swiftiy on its northward journey. Vromptly at twenty tinutes to one the coach arrived at Peluum, where. diuuer was served, The return trip was without incident, and ative P, M, the coach drew up im front ot the Brunswick café, and the first au- uma trip was coucluded, - BASE BALL NEW YORK V8. BROOKLYN-—NOT A SQUARE DEAT. ‘There have recently been two nines selected to con- test for the championship of the two cities—New York and Brooklyn. This 1s looked upon as a very im- portant thing by residents of both cities, and consider- able dissatisfaction has been manilested, expecially by Brooklynites, They have suffered defeat every season in these games, and are now in @ fair way to again lose the day. ‘The whole business looks awkward, and there are several serious objections to be taken into consideration. In the tirst place, the Brooklyn nine wus selected by aNew York man, who plays in a Brooklyn club, the consequence of which ts there have been five men of the nine taken from his own elub, which leaves a number of other clubs unrepresented, About the same want of judgment was used in choos | img the Now York side, there being no less than five of asiggle club in that nine, Two of the remaining four are from tho Reslutes, of Elzaboth; ot the other two, ove fs from the Enterpriso and the other from the New York elub. There are a number ol other first class amatoar playera in this city who are not all engaged in active service from whom a nine could bave been selected witout having to go Ww vzabeth and Brooklyn for — play’ Hoyes claims that he has a right to play with the Brooklyn team, on the ground that his regularly playing with a Mrooklyn club locates him in Brooklyn. Lf such is the caso, then, by the same course of reasoning, Fallow and MeGlyn aro located in Ehzabeth, But,’ on the other hand, if the last named players are entitied to play with the New York team on account of their being eiizens of this city, then Hayes bas no business in the Brooklyu nine or Dover im tie New York, As this is & subject on Which there tsa great deal of feeling 1m base bali circies in the two cities the proper way would be to let am committee be appointed by tho various clubs in each city to select their re- spective nines, all of whom, in each case, to be strictly home men, Nor should more than two be chosen from one club, thus giving each first ciasa club a chance to be represented.
