A ladies' day in which there were no ladies, a hill with out life and colour, a paddock almost abandoned, even by the most zealous of country gentlemen, and a general deluge of mud—such was the evil state of the Oaks on. Thursday afternoon. How it rained all night, those poor houseless wretches who camp out on the Downs on the Derby week best know ; how it poured in the morning, cab-drivers, who made golden harvest of "noble sports men," best appreciated. The Downs were dreary indeed ; the tents were soaked, and so were the viands they covered. It was cold, too ; fires were welcomed in the Grand Stand and weighing department ; and comparisons were made with Daniel O'Rourke's year, and rather in its favour. The bell for the first is ce brought a slight cessation of rain with it, but never di I Course look more miserable, as the crowd picked their way through infinite litter and slush. Several policemen left for town before it was run, as there was absolutely nothing for them to do, and the poor outcasts who wander round and under the carriages, seeking for any offal in the shape of half-picked bones to gnaw, bad no opportunities to improve. It was no day for six and thirty miles on the top of a drag. Nigger minstrels and gips:es seemed to have quitted the spot in disgust, and you scarcely heard a sound as you threaded the tented lines, near the betting lists, save that of a revival hymn in the booth of the colporteurs.

The "great horse show" opened to-day at the Agri cultural Hall, Islington. The entries for the different prizes were numerous and the judges who were to award the prizes were Lord Macclesfield, Lord Combcrmere, Capt. P. Williams, Capt. Kingscote, and Capt. Bastard. The hall was arranged precisely as ou the former occa sion, the centre of it being laid out as a drive or galloping ground. The animals, taken as a collection did not present any particular features of great excellence, and in no case that elm under our observation was a better specimen of horse flssh than is to be seen everyday in Hyde Palk. Ju 'ging the pecular merits cf the horses was a very slow and un interesting proceeding, the first two classes occupying over one hour each. The show comprises a number of ponies, and vehicles specially constructed for them, the exhibition of which will doubtless bs more attractive than the horses. The following were the prizes awarded : FIsRT CLASS HUNTERS. Mr David ll'lntosh, Havling Park, Essex, " St. Clair," first prize of £BO. Mr T. Potter, East Court, Cheltenham, " Harkaway," second prize of £42. Mr J:Bredin, Liverpool, "Kildare," third prize of £5O. SECOND CLASS HUNTERS. Major Qtymtih's "Placed" first prize of £5O.

There were absolutely no visitors. The Prince and the Princes of Wales were to have been there, but only the Prince attended. The rain soon made the grass to dis appear, and mud slush, dampness, and dreariness made everybody wish they were at home. THE PADDOCK. Those who braved the Paddock must, despite the dis comfort under which the visit was made, have been well repaid for their trouble, as the Oaks fillies were in looks altogether above the average of late years. About the first to show was the favourite Morna, and her appear %nce quite justified her position in the market, for she was, either for symmetry or condition, unquestionably the best-looking of the lot. She is a very hardy, racing like mare, full of muscle throughout, and wonderfully quick and clever on her legs. She has a Beadsman head, with a straight, strong neck, well-laid shoulders, though a trifle heavy at the points. She has good depth of girth, back, and loins, with slashing powerful quarters tnd big thighs; but her hocks are rather small, yet still nicely inclined, and near the ground. The winner, Brigantine, is also a nice mare, beginning with a very neat Dloodlike head and fine muscular neck. She is well made throughout, and especially remarkable fur her powerful quarters, running somewhat straight from the whirl-bone down to the ground. Martinique has also plenty of good looks to recommend her, and, more fit, might have been still more forward. Another Buccaneer filly, Toison d'Or, has a capital deep top, short limbs, much power, and no lumber ; while Miss Foote, on the contrary, was a wretched weed, with no middle, back, or loins. A very racing sort of filly, as she marched past, was Crocus, deservedly fancied in the Paddock, although, if anything, her hocks were a little too far away from her; but Minaret is a strong, cobby little animal, with a useful set of limbs, a shoulder inherited unmistakably from her sire, and giving one a vast deal more the notion of carrying a farm bailiff than a famous jockey. Aubade is a more racing like daughter of Rataplan ; Teeswater, with very hand fuls of muscle on her arms, has the further recom dation of length ; and Dryad, quite set up for wet weather in her boots and winkers, has a middle and back which should be serviceable in deep ground. The Thousand Guineas winner, Scottish Queen, leased of Mr. Jackson's executors, is a long, low, handsome filly, with good arms and thighs, though somewhat Shelly in her frame. Hymen was not wanting in nice character, but Clemency was nothing " very particular." Many, of course, were never stripped until the very last moment. THE FIELD AND THE BETTING. There was a larger field than was expected, there being only two absentees from the seventeen on the card. Morna., said to be better than Pero Gomez at even weights, was, of course, the favourite, and Porter never was so sanguine. He emphatically said that if the mare ran up to her trial she could not be beaten, but then there was the heavy ground, which upsets so many calculations, and which probably told on Morna's chance on Friday. Minaret was the first to appear from the Paddock, followed by Polis sonne, Crocus, Toison d'Or, Curicuse, and Morna, and then followed, at a short interval, Brigantine, Hymen, Martinique, and Scottish Queen. They were not a gaudy lot, it must be confessed, taken as a whole, and this year the mares are probably a stone behind the colts. The two handsomest mares there, and the best goers, were Morna and Martinique, and though Brigan tine was an equally good mover, and seemed to gallop aver the dirt, she was mean-looking compared with the beautiful daughters of Beadsman and Macaroni. The betting was 6 to 4 against Morna, 7 to 2 against Brigan tine, 7 to 1 against Scottish Queen, 8 to 1 against Mar tinique, 100 to 7 against Dryad, 20 to 1 against Minaret, 25 to 1 against Miss Foote, and 50 to 1 against Crocus. THE START. Everybody seemed impatient for the event of the day. One could not do anything but crouch under shelter, or get soaked even through a mackintosh. But just as the course was again cleared the rain from a pour became a drizzle, and then stopped in a considerate fashion for a quarter of an hour ; so that after all the Oaks was run in comparative comfort. But at the best it was a bad business. The state in which the jockeys who rode in the Glasgow Plate weighed in, sheaved what the jockeys riding in the Oaks had to expect, and the canter past gave them enough proof that they were not to escape without a storm of dirt flung up by the heels of the horses. In the canter nothing seemed to go better than Morna ; but it was very difficult to judge fairly as the fillies plunged through the sea of mud. As they went to the post a nice, but not very powerful-looking filly, named Miss Foote, broke her surcingle, and was led back to the enclosure until Custance could procure another. From this cause, and one false start, it was twelve minutes after the hour before the flag fell, and then the start was not the best that the world has seen. But it was some thing to get a start for the Oaks with so little difficulty ; the badness of it did not much matter, for as the mares disappeared behind the hill they were in a compact body. POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT IN NEW ZEALAND. Two or three despatches relating to a proposed guaran teed loan of £1,500,000 for New Zealand have been pub lished. The New Zealand Government urged that, " when the French and English were competing for the possession of New Zealand some years ago, the English Government acquired the islands, subject to certain onerous obligations towards the natives ; that the islands being, in consequence, occupied with English emigrants, were, by the Imperial Government, plunged into a war with the natives ; that during that war the Imperial Government forced on the colony the adoption of all Imperial obligations towards the native race ; that the obligations so imposed are greater than can be discharged without Imperial assistance, and that this asFis ante may be most conveniently given in the form of a loan. The Lords Commissioners of the Revenue, however, declined to recommend this law to Parliament, and the reasons are very clearly set forth in a despatch by Earl Granville, dated March 21, which says that New Zealand was colonised by settlers without encouragement from the English Government, which only considered itself responsible for placing the relations between the settlers and the natives on a satisfactory footing. It, therefore, acquired the islands by treaty from the natives, and established a regular government in the settlements. The treaty did not render the English Government liable to the payment of a subsidy, or any other onerous condition, but merely gave the natives the rights of British subjects, and bound the Queen to respect their territorial rights ; rights, it may be observed, the existence of which were perfectly recognised among the tribes, and which they were always ready to support by force of arms if necessary. The Government was amenable at first to the Home Government, afterwards almost wholly to the settlers. But it was never at any time attempted to make New Zealand tributary to Great Britain, or to direct local affairs in such a way as to produce any political or pecuniary advantage to this country. The colony was governed with a view to the real or supposed advantage of the inhabitants. It follows, therefore, says Lord Granville, " that the Imperial Government have not transferred to that of the colony any obligation whatever, except that imposed on all of us by natural justice, not to appropriate the property of others ; that all the Imperial expenditure on the colony has been for the benefit of the colonists, and a great part of it may be viewed as the price paid by this country for the territories which have been recently, and 1 think unwisely, appropriated by them ; and, lastly, that no part of the colonial expendi ture has been in any degree for the benefit of the mother country." THE RACE. Mr. M'George, the starter, was as fortunate as in the Derby in getting his horses away at the second attempt. The first to shew in advance when they were fairly in their places were Crocus, Curieuse, and Dryad, who ran nearly abreast, about a length in advance of the favourite ; close up with whom were seen the colours of Miss Foote, Brigantine, Toison d'Or, and Clemency ; the others were headed by Aubade, Teeswater, and Polissonne, Hymen, Scottish Queen, Minaret, and Martinique being in the extreme rear. The last-named in particular was extremely slow in beginning, but before Sherwood's Cottage had been reached, some fifty yards from the start, she had quitted her horses and succeeded in overtaking the leaders, who were running at a wretched pace. Half-way up the hill, Morna on the inside ran up to the leaders, and at once assumed the ' lead. Curieuse and Dryad at the same time gave way, and their places were taken by Miss Foote, Toison d'Or, and Brigantine, the French filly going on next, in company with Brigantine, Crocus, Teeswater, and Martinique, close in whose track came Scottish Queen and Teeswater, the rearmost horses even at this early period being widely separated. In these positions they remained through the furzes, but on rounding the turn into the old course, at the mile-post, Morna and Miss Foote drew away, and were two or three lengths in front of Toison d'Or and Brigantine as they descended the hill, on the right being Crocus and Martinique, with Teeswater and Scottish Queen as their immediate fol lowers. Thus they proceeded until fairly round Tat tenhom Corner, but on entering the straight Miss Foote was seen in difficulties, and in a few strides further her colours disappeared from the van. Toison d'Or followed suit immediately after, which left the Woodyeates filly in attendance upon Sir Joseph Hawley's favourite, Crocus s l e a as egroeisnegihogn thet third, with w a ith th Aelarltainttieqr ofue maatdeCherangirethtt l‘'lo ss t s Wh en crossing m N pt he t n e tgheet sameup on the whiphueg sheaninduch through distress ditr to compel Snowden to ease his mare and come up on the lower ground. This gave an additional advantage to the leaders, who drew away, and came on several lengths clear, Morna, on the whip hand of Brigantine, holding a decided lead, which she retained to the enclosure. Here Cannon, who had bided his time through the dirt, brought up his filly, and, fairly heading Morna at the Stand, cantered home the winner by a couple of lengths ; Martinique finished a wretched third, Crocus and Tees dale being fourth and fifth, close up. An interval of eight or ten lengths separated these from Scottish Queen, Toison d'Or, and Dryad, who headed the pulling-up division, the last of whom were Aubade, Curieuse, and Minaret.

A few weeks since the following advertisement appeared in a Bristol raper :—" Wanted to correspond with Christ tian young ladies, by a young man who is of a sentimental and poetic turn of mind.—Address, 'Homo,' Post-office, North-street, Bristol." Some young gentlemen, of the city, considering that a fair opportunity for indulging in some harmles fun at the expense of this " young man of a sentimental and poetic turn of mind " was afforded, one of their number imitated a lady's handwriting, and penned a note asking the advertiser for a specimen of his " sentimental and poetic turn of mind." Contrary to expebtation, the bait took, and elicited from the advertiser a long epistle, containing a strange admixture of bad grammar and religion, but he reserved for the postscript, which was as long as the letter, a declaration of his love. Other correspondence ensued, portraits were exchanged, and ultimately an interview was agreed upon, the place of meeting selected being the top of Stoke's-croft, which is not very far distant from the shop in which "Homo" carries on his " small fancy (jewellery) business." With commendable punctuality " Homo " appeared exactly as the clock struck eight. He was observed to be looking anxiously for his fair correspondent, when one of the party stepped up to him and asked him if he was Mr. He replied in the affirmative, and then the gentleman by whom he was confronted introduced himself as the brother of Miss —, with whom he had been corresponding, that he was accompanying her to Stoke's-croft for the pur pose of her keeping the engagement she had made, when she had been suddenly taken unwell, and had gone into a chemist's shop, whether he asked " Mr. —" to go with him. " Homo," however, began to suspect a trick ; he stammered out some excuse about having a pressing engagement, and was about to hurry off in an opposite direction, when he found himself suddenly sur rounded by a score or more of young gentlemen, who con gratulated him upon his approaching marriage, asked after his health, and the condition of his " small fancy business." He beat a hasty retreat, but his tormentois followed him, and as they assailed him with all kinds of good-natured badinage, a large number of persons were attracted. Followed by a very considerable crowd, " Homo" proceeded along Wellington-place, and by way of Ashley-road to Grosvenor-road, where he found refuge in a friendly chemist's shop. St.vcral hundred persons remained assembled outside for two or three hours, but it being ultimately ascertained that he had escaped by scaling the garden wall at the back, they dispersed. RELEASE OF THE FENIAN Pa I SONER:I.--•-The Corporation of Cork unanimously resolved on Friday to petition for the release of the rest of the Fenian prisoners. PRINCE AND PRINCESS CHB' iTIAN. Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, with their children, Prince Christian Victor and Prince Albert, and attended by Lady Susan Melville and Colonel Gordon, left Frogmore House on Friday, to join her Majesty and the Royal Family at Balmoral. THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. Mr. James Lord, one of the unsuccessful candidates for East Surrey 4,t the last election, on Friday presided over the annual meeting of the Protestant Association, at the Freemasons' Tavern. It was stated that the operations of the society during the past year had almost exclusively related to the Irish Church question, and that its income had been five. fold greater than it was in the previous year. Resolutions were passed expressing disapproval of the measure now ()lasing through Parliament, and calling upon the House of Lords to reject it. SCALDING HAILSTONES.—A contributor informs the Bradford Observer, on evidence that does not admit of doubt, that in the storm of lightning and hail on Whit- Tuesday, hailstones fell in the neighbourhood of London so hot that his child's finger was discoloured by them, and his wife and servant found them unpleasantly warm. He places his name and address at the service of any gentle. man who will help him to an explanation of this pheno menon. ----- The manufacture of velocipedes is rapidly in creasing in Birmingham, and one firm (Tangye Brothers) is turning out a considerable number week by week. In the adjacent district also their manufacture is extending. Darlaston and Willenhall have already establishments for their production, and a special commissioner of the Colliery Guardian well remarks, that in Wolverhampton it is likely to prove an imprtant staple of industry, thanks to the exertions of Messrs. Forder and Traves. THE LATE REV. JOHN JAMES TAYLER.—We regret to have to record the death of the Rev. John James Tayler, Principal and Professor of Biblical Criticism and Ecclesiastical History in Manchester New College, which took place on. Friday at his residence, The Limes, Hampstead. Mr. Tayler, who was in his 72nd year, was an eminent Unitarian minister. He was the author of " A Retrospect of the Religious Life of England ;" of a critical essay on the Authenticity of the Gospel of St. John, and of a volume of sermons, enetled " Christian Aspects of Faith and Duty." NORWICH ELECTION PETITION.—A memorial has been sent to Mr. Baron Martin, shewing that the trial of the Norwich election petition was held " out of the city of Norwich, to wit in the county of Norfolk, in the Shire Hall there." The memorialists submit that the trial was illegal, and pray Mr. Baron Martin so to report to the Speaker of the House of Commons, or to obtain the opinion of the full court as to the legality of the trial. To this memorial Mr. Baron Martin has returned the annexed reply, addressed to Mr. Collins, of Norwich :—" Mayo, Londonderry, May 22. Dear Sir,—Your letter of the 20th instant, with the memorial enclosed, was forwarded to me here. The matter of trying the Norwich petition at the Shire Hall was well considered, and was perfectly legal both in substance and form. I cannot, therefore, comply with the prayer of the petition. I propose to be in London on Tuesday next. —Yours very truly, SAMUEL MARTIN." A MAD employe of the Davenport Brothers, styling himself the Rev. Elisha F. Minier, was recently charged at Boston with embezzling $l5O, the proceeds of a dark seance. When arrested, he declared that the whole establishment, Davenports and all, belonged to him, and he proposed to run it until he had raised ten millions of dollars, which he declared his i n tention of devoting to the publicati on of forty-eight thousand pages of manuscript that he had been ordered to write on the subject of the birth of Christ, whose near kinsman he was. Minier was very indig,nant toward the Davenport Brothers for their attempt to regain the $l5O, and talked to them only as an insane person could. He has for some time carr ied with ad him a huge dirk-knife, because, as h e said, the spirits h to h ld him some one was going to take his life. His arrest, e contended, was part of a plot looking to that end. Medical evidence having been g iven to prove his insanity, w taken to the asylum at Taunton ; not, however, until he had remised to visit Best(poyith, big earquake and i, eceli ' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Race Glasses, by Voigtland, are now ao longer the ex clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demaud for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying metlanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 2U per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Aallaghan, 23e, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtlander at comparatively trilling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. RACING F IXTURES.

That no two year old shall run earlier in the year than July 1. ( 2 ). That no two year old shall start for any handicap, and a horse running in contra vention of this or the preceding rule will thenceforth be disqualified for running at any mee ti n g w here the Rules of the Jockey Club ar e in force. (2). That in future no money shall be added from the funds of ma the Jockey Club to any race for which two year olds y be entered. (4). That if two or more two year olds run a dead heat, they shall not be allowed to run again, but the prize shall be equally divided between or among them. Providing Sir Joseph Hawley's first and second resolutions be not carried, Colonel Forester will move that the following resolutions besha carruried in ir l ace •— ,, (1) That no two year old ll n befor P • (2) That no two year old shall start for any handicap before September 1. Horses running in contravention of either of these rules to be disqualified from running at any meeting where the rules of the Jocic.-y Club are in force, and the resolutions, if passed, not to .ha applic.abletotares already closed and entered for.' Great interest is mani fested l - y breeders and others on the subject, which Await no doubt be fully discussed in its bearings, and a petition against the proposal numerously signed by owners and trainers, has been presented to the Jockey Club. Aldershot Flat Races are fixed for July 2 and 3. Bianca (3 yrs) has been renamed " Dotherly Barwise." Major Stapylton's Meliora, by Optimist out of Christina (4 yrs), is dead.
