In confoimity with a pre-rious announcement
in tio is paper, the grand trial of skill between
the well-known chefs playcri, Mr. Reichhclm
and Captain Mackenzie, tho mpcctlva repre
sentatives of tho railadelplna and New York
amateurs, was commenced on Thursday erenlnfc,
at eight o'clock precisely. Tho attendance bntti
of member and yisitors at the rooms of the
New York Clab was very larfp, and represented
the elite of the chef s f nitoriiity of this city and
its environs, seyejul aentleinen from Philadel
phia being likewise prevent.
Captain Mackenzie led off with the Eny
Lopez opening and, a'tcr fifty-three moves, the
came was abandoned by l'roleiser Keicbhciin as
hopelessly drawn.
GAME II.
After a short recess, at about 3 P. M., hostili
ties were resumed and a second game com
menced, when Mr. Rck'hhclm, having the first
move, led oil In Tcry dashing- style with tho
pttaek known as tho Kvnns Gambit, wherein,
for strategic renons, on the thirteenth taove he
eaerificed his kind's knights for adverse king's
bishop's pawns. At the asnal hour for adjourn
ment, 6 P. M., 2fi moves had been made od
either side, the attitndoof the contending forces
beine highly critical, and the evening seRsicn
awaited with correponaing interest by a laTgo
and critical gallery of spectators. Punctually
at 8 o'clock piny was again mumed, p.nd not
withstanding a desperate stropcle. in the course
of which Blr. Eciehheim succeeded in recover
ing a portion of the advantage lost, he suc
cumbed to an inevitable checkmate, occurring
on the Hlty-fiith move, at 9-30 o'clock.
OAMH III.
Immediately after the conclusion of (Jamo II,
tho pieces were reset lor number three; when
Captain Mackenzie ence more attacked alter tho
manner of Ruy Lopez. We left the scene of
conflict at a late hoar, and although lookers-on
have no right to make remarks upon a game
during its progress, there can be little harm in
stating that all the ad vantages of position ap
peared to be In favor of the flew York player.

The Rinderpest.
The State Aerlanltnral Society In Albany have
received from ' Professor Wilson, of Edinburgh,
yery important information in rezard to this
terrible disease, and with th reports made by
him and others, colored drawings and illustra
tions which show the whole progress of tho
disease Irom the first attack to the death of the
animal. These drawings and the reports made
upon them are invaluable, and put this country
in possession of all the information secured
abroad after tho labor of months. Professor
W ilson reports the disease as wholly incurable,
and adds that in vieiv oi its dangers and ravages
the authorities have prohlbited'tue importation
of all cattlo trom abroad, and ordered the killing
of ail animals which shall not recover in three
weeks alter their Drat attack, as tho rapid
spread ot the disease during this time is sure
to result in death. They have also demanded
the separation of all diseased animals from
those which are healthy. Notwithstanding
the rapid spread ol ttiis disease and its
virulence, Professor Wilson states in his
letter to the Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society, that in two canes out ot three which
have fallen under his observation, by careful
nursing, and no other mode ol doctorincr, the
animals recovered which is very Important in
formation. In Wales none of the cattlo have
been attacked, and few or none in Scotland.
The disease known as Jleuromonia, which at
tacked cattlo in the United States eoaie years
since, is under complete medical control, and is
altogether dillerent trim the Rinderpest, though
a' predisposing caase toit. The illustrations fur
nished by Prcit. Wilson enow tout the disease is
quite a new one, in many of Its features. If
good nursing can core it why may not proper
care be taken to prevent its introduction among
ns. The whole subject is one of immense im
portance, and not alone to all cattle raisers, bat
to all consumers ol cattle. Jfew York Express.
What it Costs to Govern England Her
Ainiy and Navy.
The civil service, army and navy estimates
for tho coming year, now before tho British Par
liament, amount to 02,483,153, or $l(i2,41.',765,
divided as follows: Civil service, 8,000,000;
aany, 14,095,000: navy, 10,388,103. Some of
the items of these accounts are interesting.
The paluccs cost 40,000, and 1)11,000 more go
for tho adornment ot the royal parks. Fifty
thousand Donnds are set apart for the erection
of a building to contain the natural history col
lections of the British Museum, and a similar
amount lor the purchase of a site lor the en
largement of the National Gallery. The "Poor
Law Commissions" ol England, Ireland, and
Scotland entail an expense ol 242,000; and the
"Secret Service" demands 32,000. Printing
and stationery cost 357,000, and the postage of
letters on the public service in the departments
is 138,000. Education costs 1,300,000, and the
number of scholars is estimated at a million.
Tho Colonial rulers receive 100,000, and nearly
60,000 go lor the support and conveyance of
raptured negroes and liberated Africans, and
the salaries oi the Mixed Commission established
under treaties with foreign powers for suppress
ing the traffic in slaves, besides the expense in
curred in maintaining ships for this purpose.
The army consists of 13H.117 men of all ranks,
divided as follows: Reijlinents, 128,212; depots
in the United Kingdom of regiments iu India,
89SS; general staff, 93: establishments, 618: edu
cational establishments, 281. Of the total, 7150
'are oflieers; 13,454 non-commissioned officers,
and 117,613 rank and tile. The military service
in Canada costs 008.000; In Nova Scotia,
193,000.
The navy comprises 765 vessels of all classes,
of which only lu3 are in commission, carrying
3936 guns. Sixteen ships carry from 70 to 104
puns each; and the Iron-clad floet numbers
eleven vessels, carrying 216 guns. 28 war ves

Jloth the aggregate of naval vessels and of
commissioned ships is less than those of last

The British navy costs more than the Amerl
ran, according to tho respective estimates for
the year 1860-7. The former i kept np at a cost
of t60.000.000; the latter for $43,000,000. The
cost of the British navy is about double that of

A "Catalogue of the Collection of Early
Newspapers and Essayists, formed by the lato
John Thomas Hope, and presented to the Bod
leian Library by the late Key. Frederick WV
Hope," has been published in England. The
librarian of the Bodleian says: "Unhappily, the
deficiencies in Mr. Hope's set occur in a period
(tne seventcentn ceniury ) wnicn tne liouician
lsiilabletof.il up: the librarian would, there
fore, ask collectors to contributo any odd num
bers of curly English newspapers they may
possess, with a view to perfecting the special
branch represented by the collection." Scattered
through the catalogue are numerous interesting
particulars concerning tho editors and con
tributors to early hngfibh newsletters, journals,
and magazines.
A Paris correspondent, speaking of Proudhon's
method of literary composition, Bays his manner
of working was this: "When an idea struck him,
he would write it out at length, generally in the
shape of a newspaper article; then he would put
it an envelope, and whenever a new idea oc
curred to him, or he obtained additional infor
mation, he would write it on a piece of paper
and add it to the envelope. When a sufficient
quantity of material was assembled, he would
write an article for some review or magazine.
This article be would place in a larger envelope,
and add thoughts and information to it until, at
last, the article became a book; and the day
after the publication of his book he would place
it in a pasteboard box, aud add thoughts and
additional information us he came into posses
sion of them."

of the ramrod tending home the deadly car

disturbs the peace ot the faithful province,

As to where St. Patrick was born it Is impos
sible to tell, but that he was born U certain: it
therefore little matters what country was his
birthplace. Ireland was his home, his country,
aad lie dearly loved her. lie came into tho
world about 372, and when only seventeen years
ol age was carried off by pirates and sold into
iluveiy in Ireland. His escape to the continent,
his ordination as deacon and ptiest, consecra
tion as bishop, and subsequent return to Ire
land, and his actions there, aie facts too well
known to need repetition now.
In New York tne day will be celebrated by
grand parades. In our city we shall have ap
propriate religions services in the Human Catho
lic churches, appropriate performances at all tne
theatres, and a body of Fenians arc to receive
this afternoon the newly adopted flaet of the
Irish Republic at National Hall. The Very Rev.
Dr. P. E. Moriarty will doliver an oration at the

"Ireland; the Apostle; the Nation; the Faith."
