The witness then detailed particulars that cannot be vidished, and added: I made all the resistance I could, but I did not call oat very loudly, as I was so faint.

TO MT 10:111 . 01 OP PHI WPM& Sue,--Surprises In plenLy have as yet greeted those assisting at the Newmarket Craven Meeting, aad it makes one shudder to think what money would have been Ices upon certain events had the "plungers" boon on the heath, eager for battle. The dulness of the betting on the course, and in the subscription-room at night, is explained by their absence ; and even when the sensational Bienaial GUM on the tapis, or the vaunted Restitution wasbcaten by the erst plater Moslem, the book-makers had the field of speculation almost to themselves. The upset on the Baron's pet oolt, a lumbering sort of gentleman in his way, is scarcely in keeping with his reputed trial, in which he bested the stable crack. If it were really correct, we should have to look out for Moslem in the Two Thousand, as Suffolk was not many len rths behind The Earl and Blue Oown in the great race of this afternoon. It is singular, lifter the extraordinary stories that had been afloat of late concerning this trio just named, that they should run so nearly to their previous form, the only falling off displayed being on the part of Suffolk, whose exhibition disposes of Baron Rothschild's charm for the Derby as well as the Two Thousand. How The Earl won is a moot point among the talent, some Insisting he left off with plenty in hand. and others that Blue Gown would have reversed positions with him had Wells not ridden him so tenderly. The wearer of the cherry jacket, however, was complimented by Sir Joseph Hawley on his handling of the unlucky Champagne hero, and if be is Vtisaed the public ought not to complain. The opinion was expressed, too, that the Gown was not nearly fit, and that by the Derby Day he would, But the eagerness to lay against him was as marked as though he had run last instead of a good second ; and seeing how the offers to take 1,000 to 30 five times, then 4,000 to 100, and finally, " fifty fifties," were snapped up, I must still think his backers have but a poor chance of getting a good run for their money at Epsom. To all appearances, those trusting to The Earl are just as badly off, for, notwithstanding his performance is as credit able as was either Vauban's or Kangaroo's in the same race, he was i 1 as bad odour after as before the victory, the general verdict being that he, too, is out of court. On what grounds is quite another matter, for he did not run in the Marquis of Hastings's colours, hut in those of Mr. " Kangaroo " Padwick, almost intimating that all oon nexion between him and Lady Elizabeth is severed. How ever, before the week is out the market and rumour may afford additional information, and I must content myself for the present with further remarking, in connexion with the put two days' running and future great events, that the Newmarket Handicap leaves the Chester Cup as open as ever. The remainder of the Craven programme to be got through is of more immediate importance, and that can soon be disposed of, for most of Thursday's awed races are downright certainties, and " w. 0." will be marked against some of the winners' names. Lord Stamford has a couple of prizes at his mercy on the Aske Produce and a D.M. Sweep stakes, The Earl and Lady Coventry each having a "march" too. Then, the Claret reads very like a gift for Fripon nier ; and Sister to Hermit for the Abingdon, with Herald for another D.H. Sweep, are the proper selections. The Four-Year•Old Biennial is a match between Vauban and Julius ; and if the latter can win, as I believe, we shall have Friday's Port settled, as the result must be a repeti tion of the other. Herald must win his first engagement easily to successfully concede 51b to Charuwood for the Bennington ; but Pace, bad (') as he is, need only come about to stall off King Alfred for the 100 Sovs. Sweep stakes.— I am, lc., METEOR.

A monk who goes from Rome every Sunday to Prime* Ros piglion's estate at Mainareee, to my man to the farming men, was returning last week to the station on the Civita Vecchia line, to get back to Rome, when he was aectotod by three well•dressed and well-armed bandits, who inquired whether the prince or either of his sons were at the old feudal mansion, and seemed much disap pointed at not having an opportunity of effecting a coop de twain on their persons. The correspondent of the Post at Rome asserts that the Emperor of Austria has refused to sanction the new law tending to invalidate the Concordat. This deter mination of his Apostolic Majesty is attributed at Rome to the influence of the Empress, to w►om, in her present interesting situation, the Emperor could refuse no boon, and who is said to have entreated her husband to refuse, or at any rate suspend, his signature to the new law, at the instigation of her sister, the Queen of N►ples, who re cently arrived at Vienna to be present at the Empress's acoonehement, and who, if current rumours are as ocerect as they are plausible, was entrusted on leaving Rome with a confidential minion by the Supreme Pontiff to that effect.

The adjourned meeting of the Caledonian Rail way Company was held yesterday at Glasgow, but it is understood that no result was arrived at, owing to the legal proceedings now pending.

The Briton takes to pleasure either sadly or madly. Wby is this ? He is by no means less educated than his French rival. Hs reads more, thinks more, and knows more when he is by himself; but bring him into contact with his fellows, tell him and them that it is holiday time, and the result is simple lunacy. I have been up and down the town to-day (Easter Monday) and have seen more vulgarity and drunkenness than I saw in France in a twelvemonth. Iv it the result of our insular h►bits, which keep us not only from the rest of the world, but from one another' lam inclined to think it is. The poor Englishman's life is too much a dreary game at solitaire. He is kept alone until, like a nervous hone, he shies when he catches sight of a crowd. We are not used to case another, and when, therefore, for the purposes of amusement we are at raze intervals thrown together, we make a end mess of it, as witness the present, and any number of Easter holidays which have gone before. Ob serve how completely the Englishman isolates himself from every other English man and woman. At church or chapel he and his family (parte of himself) are boxed up in pews, constructed upon the principle of • seedemaxes ehow case. In the tavern he sacrifices his seat, in order that endless subdivisions, compartments, and " corner pins" may have sufficient wood left for their construction, and his concealment. He is, it is true, content to see himself as others see him, from the waist upwards, in a glass darkly, while taking his whisky warm ; but as for any open, wanly, leg-showing publicity, be would rather keep sober for ever than venture upon it. Look upon the picture of our coffee-houses, and then upon the realities over the way. Compare the " L"-shaped wooden torture ositits with the soft crimson velvet seats of the café Parisien ; the slipshod wenches and close atmosphere of the former with the sprightly parrons and flower-perfumed air of the latter; the darkness with the light; the dame de comploir with the crone; and you get at once at the canoe of the difference between a French and an English holiday. Wherever Nature has intended men and women to come together and become used to each other there the timid Briton has thrown up a barrier. We want more holidays, as you justly remark, but cafes and public rooms are the stations from which people eau rationally start to enjoy holidays—let us have some of these. It seems odd that in a city where a " good " gin-palace will sell for 20,0001. sufficient capital cannot be got together for the building and equipment of a few grand evening people's palaces. I am sure they would answer. Pigs used to be thought to like filth, but they have proved that they thrive better when kept clean ; and I have that faith in my countrymen which induces me to believe that, given the large, civilised, and comfortable room, with wholesome refreshments at low prices, you will not find them cling to their present resorts. Mr. Whitworth is ready to give a hundred thousand pounds to be spent in technical education ; let a dozen rich men combine and invest a similar sum in a grand place of evening relaxation for the working-classes, with plenty of room and plenty of light ; with statues, and flowers, and paintings, ►nd if it does not pay—emigrate ! for England will be neither fit nor able to hold her own in the day which is dawning for humanity. —I am, Lc., H.
