Whereas but a ve-y little .more than twenty years ago the Iron Duke startled us all with the assertion that barely five thousand soldiers could be brought together in defence of the United Kingdom —Ergland has now at her command nearly 100,000 of the Regular Army, fully 100,000 Militia, and not far short of 200,030 Rifle Volunteers. T„, be exlct, so far as to speak really within the mark, the QuEEN's Army numb.:ri, in 1869, as many as 00,000 men altogether—the Militia embraces within it, at the least, 100,000 —the Volunteer Riflemen, who are continually increasing rather than falling off in their numbers, are, at this moment, at any rate, some 170,000 strong. A transformation of things so astounding as this has been accomplished, moreov, r, with comparative facility, within a very brief interval. It has involved, of course, an enormous expenditure. But this prodigal expenditure the nation at large has never begrudged. '.l he Crimean war realized to THE SUN, 'LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1869.- us all only too painfully the inefficient state to which our land forces had been reduced. The Italian war of NAPOLEON 111. indicated, on the other hand, the extraordinary state of efficiency arrived at by the greatest of all the military nations of the continent. The indifference as to our military defences, conse quent upon a prolonged peace, terminated almost abruptly. England suddenly awoke to the recogni tion of the imperative need there was of some com plete reorganization of her forces both by land and by sea. The navy has been transformed. The army has been transformed. The militia has been increased and multiplied. A National Guard, never dreamt of but a very few years ago, has, with astounding rapidity, sprung into existence. Barristers and mer chants, shopkeepers and artiztns, clerks and work men, have volunteered their services as defenders, in case of need, of their houses awl altars ; have donned their uniforms ; have allowed themselves to be labo riously drilled, and have sedulously cultivated their capabilities in the skilled handling of their rifles. The result being, as we have said, that England is not to-day what she entirely-was in a manner yes terday, to all intents and purposes, defenceless. WEL LINGTON could say seriously, in 1847, that there was no reason why forty thousand Frenchmen could not be landed any day quite easily on our shores, and marched straight upon the unguarded metropolis. WELLINGTON would never dream,' were he still amongst us, of making any similar assertion nowa days, under existing :circumstances. We have the forces now that were then required. All that is wantel at the present moment in regard to them is a t better system of systernatiz Won. Numberless propo sitions to this end are being perpetu Illy brought for ward both within and without the walls of the im peria 1 Parliament. Very recently appeared some exceedingly thoughtful, and for the most part thoroughly well-con sidered suggestions for the better organisation of our military forces, in the pages of Blackwood's Magazine —papers which have since been published separately with their author's name, that of the present Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON, duly announced upon the title page. Ouly last evening, again, a number of other equally thoughtful and not less thoroughly well-con sidered suggestions of a similar character were brought by Lord ELCHO under the consideration of the House of Commons. Consequent upon the speech then de livered by Lord ELcno an interesting discussion en sued, a discussion in which Colonel NORTH, Colonel GILPIN, Colonel WILSON PATIEN, Capt. VIVIAN, and Col. LOYD LINDSAY severally participated—the late Secretary for War, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, and the present Secretary for V% ar, the Right Hon. EDWARD CARDWELL, more or less candidly avowing their opinions also, as being, or as having been, responsible Ministers of the Crown, in regard to the more urge .t requirements of the time upon the vital subject of our Army of Reserve. Remembering that retrench ment is just now the order of the day, the moment seems hardly propitious for any costly suggestions as to the better organisation of our land forces, whether in the matter of the Royal Army, of the Militia, oT the Yeomanry, or of the Volunteers. DI )re particu larly bearing in minl that there is no especial urgency at thin moment in the shape of any revival of the old panics as to the possibility, not to say the probability, of an invasion. As matters now are, already, we are as a people tolerably well prepared for any emergency. This being said in no boast fulness, but simply as the recognition of au indisputable fact. There is, moreover, a conscious ness on the part of the community that our national defences are materially strengthened by the sitnple fact of the extension of our railway and e!eAro-tele graphic systems. Aided by those two great system 4, the troops of the line, the militia, the yeomanry, and the volunteers conk!, now, with the greatest facility anal rapidi y, be concentratel upon any given point according to the requirements of any sud denly realisal emergency. Nothing, as a nutter of course came, or apparently was intended to come, of the debate provoked last evening in the House of Commons by the mo:ion brought forward by Lord ELcuo, a motion commented It; on by so many speakers both on the side of the Opposition ani on t!,e E.ide of the Government, only, however, to be eventually withdrawn—as having serve] i:s purpose, namely, the ventilation, once more, within the walls of the Legislature of the vitally important theme of our national defences. THE New Zealand despatch by which Earl GRAN VILLE has already in a way made himself famous may be regarded as the official announcement of that great change in our colonial policy which has been in process for some years past. The issue between the Colonial Office and the New Zealand authorities involves the great question of where colonial self government and self-defence shall begin and where Imperial intervention shall end. The difficulties in which the colonists are involved with the Maories will require a sum of not less than £1,400,000, distributed over seven years, for their ultimate settlement. To raise such an amount out of taxation is hopeless. A loan is deemed necessary, and the New Zealand Government has applied to the Colonial Office for the assistance in the shape of an Imperial guarantee on a loan of a million and a half. Their agent in London argues that the credit of the colony is not good enough to raise this loan except at a high rate, and that the relations between the mother country and its distant depen dency are such that England is fairly under the obligation. It is true, says Mr. FITZIIERBERT, the New Zealand agent, that the colonists have under taken the duties and responsibilities of self-govern ment, and that British aid in financial matters cannot as a rule be looked for. But these troubles with the Maories began before the transfer of autho rity was made. The Colonial Office handed over its authority and the Maori embroglio together. In order to make a, fair beginning the colonikth plead that Great - 13ritain; -,tiimler -a- morn obligation to help them through thin costly business, and then for the future the infant hopes that it will be able to walk alone. Earl GRANVILLE takes quite the opposite view. Very truly he remarks that the colony was governed from the first for its own benefit ; not the slightest advantage was derived by England front the connection. The colonists took the work of government at their own reqUest Even after the transfer of " the reins" a large military force was kept in the islands to protect the settlers. The total cost of forming, governing, and defending the colony has been more than sufficient to purchase the entire territory. Why, then, asks the COLONIAL SECRETARY, should this expenditure be continued? So far from the mother country owing her offspring anything more, the colony is already under large obligations for past help. It might be argued that a guarantee does not involve much ; but it is ex tremely probable—almost certain—that the colony would not be able to pay, and the Imperial Govern ment would be called upon. Earl GRANVILLE'S decision is perfectly sound. Englishmen cannot fail to feel the liveliest interest in the future of the colonies, and the most sincere wishes for their prosilerity. Their population are in great part immediate relations of the generation now living their advancement must be England's triumph. But our frienclship for the colonies ought not to be regarded as a pretext for saddling us with their pecuniary liabilities. We have paid too much on their behalf already. It is clearly absurd that the hard-pressed taxpayer of East London should be asked to contribute for the protection and government of colonists whose situation, as a rule, is better than his own. The proposed guarantee amounts to nothing less than this. For a guaran tee in itself implies a liability to pay, and in this case the chance of our being called upon to refund part of the million and a half is very considerable. Let the colonists but consider our position, and they will see the unfairness of looking for more assistance to a country which can' hardly well support its own paupers. We have in times past freely accorded assistance in money and protection by land and sea to the colonies which were in need ; and of these New Zea land has been the chief. What has England received in return ? As a rule not only has the English nation paid its money to its offspring unconditionally, and without recompence, but as fast as the colonies have grown to ,maturity they have evinced their gratitude by adopting protective tariffs and closing their ports against us. It is wholly a mis take to suppose that the wealth of England is to be attri buted to the facts that her empire is the most magnifi cent the world has yet seen, and that on the QUEEN'S dominions the sun never sets. England's greatness is not measured by the number of square miles over which her authority extends. The size of the British Empire is the effect, not the cause, of British prosperity. India, which is not a colony, is a direct source of wealth ; but the colonies proper contribute nothing except in the ordinary course of trade, and there is no proof that our trade with them would be smaller if they were independent. Their independence, in fact, is a contingency to which Englishmen look forward with no apprehension whatever. In Austra- 1 lia and New Zealand the colonial Government is rapidly growing more and more powerful, and more independent of home control. When these vigorous young States arrive at full maturity, England cannot prevent their shaking off Imperial rule pltogether, nor can she have any wish to do so. It might be asked : If Britain's connection with the colonies is for the future to be so restricted, and if they are, when possible, to be self-supporting, what is the use of continuing the alliance at home ? The question admits of a very definite reply. Many of the colonies are wholly unfit to take care of them selves. To leave Barbadoes, Jamaica, or even Cape Colony to their fate, would simply be to abandon them to the sovereignty of some other Power, or to hopeless internal dissensions. All the minor colonies have everything to lose and nothing to gain by their independence. They have no differences of moment with the Home Government. Some of them, it has been ascertained, will not take the trouble to elect a local assembly. The number of men competent to do duty as legis lators and governors i s ver y small. It is only in the case of two or three of the most important colonies that independence can be thought of. The New Zealanders must admit that, even under these more restricted conditions, even on the terms that they raise their own funds, and pay their own troops, the connection with England is of great advantage to them. Two hundred thousand people are not sufficient to form a State. We supply them with a governor, and so save them a political turmoil for which they have not the slightest desire. England will not protect them atthe ccst of the British taxpayer, but they may have any needful force by paying a reason able sum— a sum which is much smaller than that required for a co l on i a l l ev y. It is, however, useless to enter into detail; for the colonists have seen the value of English connection since they demanded and obtained a Legislature of their own, a pro ceeding which is now admitted to be premature. As to the more populous British colonies, the inde pendence of New South Wales and Victoria is a question merely of time and convenience. Canada is very loyal. She needs time to consolidate the new Confederation, and she needs still more protection against possible encroachment from the South. , The Dominion is prosperous at present ; jealousies, necessarily arising from the welding of so many provinces into one State, are disappearing, and there is no ground for the belief that much future trouble can arise from this source. It is not easy to unite small provinces, but it is still less easy to dissever them when the union has once been formed. " When the Dominion has gained strength] it will be quite at the choico of its inhabi tants whether an independent State be formed, or whether they will join their great neighbour. England can suffer nothing by the transfer. So long as her prosperity lasts it will not be diminished by the severance of colonial connections. When it decays the many empires founded in different parts of the world will secure to the Anglo-Saxon race the glory of having c ontributed more than any other to the happiness and civilization of the world.

SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO ITORSES.—John Amos, aged 40 years, of No. 2, Wharf-road, Cubitt-town, Poplar, carman, was charged by Mr. Simeon Sell, an officer cf the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with wilfully and cruelly torturing a horse by working it in an unfit state. Sell was making inquiries about the defeud aut it] Poplar relating to the se'zure of two other horses belonging to him. They were found yoked to two carts at the West-end and in a very miserable condition. They were sore on their backs and they were evidently suffer ing great agony. The magistrates remanded the drivers 9f the horses and carts and ordered summonses to issue against Amos, the owner of the horses, for allowing them to bo worked in an unfit state. While Sell was in Poplar he saw a nother of the defendant's horses drawing a heavy van, and returning to his yard after delivering a heavy load of manure. There were large sores on the Withers and back. The horse was old, and there was scarcely a bit of flesh on its bones. Sell arrested the pri soner immediately. Mr. Paget said be was glad the Royal Society had taken ttp this case. The horse was in a most wretched condi tion. It was better.) prevent suffering than to fine people, ---uirleas there was_a_cime of great aggravation. Whenever a case of wanton cruelty to a horse or any other animal was proved, he would inffict severe penalties and punish the offenders to the ftal9st extent in his power. Mr. Pelham, solicitor, said the prisoner did not see the horse before it was sent with a van. Mr, Paget - Ile might to have seen it. Mr. Pelham—He has been incapacitated by illness from looking after his horses, and has trusted to his men. Mr. Paget said the horse must have suffered acute pain, and must not ho worked again until it was thoroughly cured. Ile would adjourn the case for four weeks, and it would depend on the state of tho horse when the case was again presented to his notice as to what sentence he should pronounce on the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. SILLY DittNICEINEBB.—Mr. John Shaw, a person of gentlemanly appearance, of 24, Queen-street, Brompton, was charged with being drunk and disorderly. Policeman 190 B said that at a little before two this morning the defendant was drunk in Rutland-gate. He stepped upon a coal plate at 22, which made a noise, and then inquired of w;tness whAlier it was quite right. Wit ness stooped and picked it up with some difficulty, as it was not fastened anderneath, but it was perfectly safe. Defendant insisted upon ringing at 22, and getting the family up. Witness endeavoured to dissuade him, but I► 3 insisted and rung .the bell, and a male servant got up. Then pr:soner idled a c ►b to go to Rutland-gat,', al hough he 'via there, and taking up the coal plate put it in the cab. Mr. Arnold —Wina do you say, Mr. Shaw ? Defet.daut— I ma very sorry for being drunk, Lut I was not drunk. Mr. Arnold—l don't know what you mean by that. Defendant—l hkd been drinking, but was not d. A sergeant at the station said he was what you would call "silly" drunk. He gave irrelevant and absurd answers to questions. I asked him what he was, and he said a scavenger, and that it was the first time ho had been in a station, and he should like to remain. Lady Perceval's servant, at 22, Rutland-gate, proved being disturbed in his sleep as described. Defendant said be wished to protect the safety of others by taking up the coal. plate. Mr. Arnold thought he was going the right way to en danger it by taking away the plate. His conduct had been very silly, and ho must pay 10s. fine. Tu AROBBISHOP OE CA2 TE7 BUIW. Some months ago a number of influential laymen, witn the Lord Mayor and Mr. G. Moore at their head, having formed a high opinion of Dr. Tait during the time that he was Bishop of London, determined, when he was trans lated to the Archiepiscopal See of Canterbury, to present a portrait of him to the Bishop's Palace at Fulham. The commission was entrusted to Mr. Sydney Hodges, who has painted a very admirable full-length portrait of the Archbishop. This picture was on Thursday presented at Mr. Graves's, Mall-Mall, to the Bishop of Londor, in the presence of the subscribers, the Lord Mayor, and the Sheriffs of London. The subscribers were wholly laymen, although several clergymen desired to contribute. The Bishop of London, in acknowledging the presentation, spoke of the excellent qualities of his predecessor, and the valuable legacy he had left them in his munificence and zeal. SUNDAY AND RAGGED SCHOOLS EXEMPTION BILL. On Thursday a meeting to devise the best means to be adopted for securing the passing of Mr. C. Reed's bill exempting Sunday and Ragged Schools from local taxation, was held at the Westminster Palace Hotel. Mr. C. Reed occupied the chair, and amongst those present were Mr. Bazley, M.P., Mr. A. Cross, M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. Pell, IMP., Mr. Serjeant Simon, M.P., Mr. J. Briscoe, M.P., Mr. Mellor, M.P., Mr. M'Arthur, M.P., the Hon. W. Egerton, Mr. Armitstead, N.P., Mr. C. Turner, M.P., Mr. Muntz, M.P., Mr. Hibbert, M.P. _ _ The CHAIRMAN, having referred to the efforts that had been made in Parliament in former years to get Sundayand ragged schools exempted from taxation, said they must allbe agreed that it would be a wise thing to test the feeling of the new House of Commons. They would, no doubt, meet with obstacles from the Government in getting their bill passed, but they must set about the task with all ear nestness. Mr. BAILEY observed that nothing could be more unjust than the principle of taxing the benevo lence of the country. Whatever might be the case with the great endowed schools, it was certainly not fair to those which were supported by voluntary contributions. He trusted that Mr. Reed's bill would be well supported. In answer to a question from Mr. Wright, Birming ham, the chairman said his bill did not embrace elementary schools. Several speakers deprecated any addition being made to the bill, Mr. Cross reminding the meeting that the opposi tton of the Government would be so great that it would be very unwise to strengthen their hands by anything like disunion. Serjeant SimoN urged that deputations should at once wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. EGERTON thought it would be better to influence the House of Commons first. Mr. lIIBBERT supported this view. Let them fight the question out in the House. Mr. BAZLEY said the Government had much more respect for votes in the House than they had for deputa tations out of the House. Mr. JOHNSTON, as an Irish, and Mr. ARMITSTEAD, as a Scotch member, each warmly supported the object of the meeting. Mr. BAINES was strongly of opinion that justice, com mon sense, and religion were all against the imposition of a tax on Sunday and ragged schools. Mr. BRISCOE quite agreed with previous speakers that if they asked too much from the Government they would probably get nothing. It was absolutely necessary that the meeting should be unanimous. Mr. GHENT, secretary of the Ragged School Union, pointed out that it was absolutely certain that if the tax ation of ragged schools continued, many of them must be closed. Mr. M'ARTEUR would have no faith in a deputatitw to 11Ir. Lowe, but he would sziggest that the facts of the case should be stated to Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Goschen, without asking for any expression of their opinion. MARRIAGE OF LORD LYTTELTON.—The marriage of the Right Hon. Lord Lyttelton, Lord• Lieutenant of Worcestershire, with Mrs. Mildmay, was celebrated on Thursday morning, at Perrystone, near Ross. The wed ding was a very quiet one. his lordship has been a widower ten years. THE MILITARY KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR. —The death of Major John M. Hewson has occasioned a vacancy in the Lower Foundation of the Military Knights of Windsor. Major Hew•son died on Monday, in his 71st year, after a long and painful illness. This veteran officer retired on full pay from the 89th Regiment of Foot, and obtained his appointment as a Military Knight of Wind sor about three years ago. THE TRIAL OF A. CHIEF CONSTAELL The trial of Major Beswick, late Chief Constable for Birkenhead, was resumed on Thursday at the Central Criminal Court. The Major was charged with forgery. In defence the prisoner stated that be had been imposed upon, and called several witnesses as to character, amongst others Sir H. Storks. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy on account of the character he had received. The prisoner was sen tenced to five years' penal servitude. A JURY OF SMITTIS.—The other day, at the Sheffield County Court, a case came on for trial which was to be beard before a jury. Each juryman, on being sworn, answered to the name of "Smith," and Mr. Hartley, the clerk, experienced some difficulty in deter mining who were the right persons. This could only be ascertained by calling out the residence of each Smith. After the jury had been empannelled, the Smiths formed a line, and Mr. Blackburn said: "Are you all Smiths? Then I have no objection." ROYALTY IN SCOTLAND.—A despatch, dated Wick, Thursday, is as follows :—" Her Majesty's steam yacht Vivid, with his Royal Highness Prince Arthur on hoard, arrived at Stornoway on Monday night, on A tour through the Hebrides. Being desirous that his visit should not be accompanied by any demonstrations there was no public display, but a large crowd cheered him on landing next morning with Colonel Elphinstone and Lieutenant Pritchard. On Tuesday his Royal Highness visited Stornoway Castle, accompanied by Mr. Munro Chamberlain, for Sir James Matheson, who is Low in London. He then visited some Druidical remains at Callenish, sixteen miles from Stornoway, and thereafter spent Tuesday in rod-fishing, at which he was very suc cessful. The Prince enjoyed his visit exceedingly. The Vivid sailed hence on Wednesday morning." CHARLES DICKENS AND WASHINGTON IRVING.— The following letter from Charles Dickens is published in a recent number of the Round " Washington, February 9, 1868.—My dear Sir,—Your reference to my dear friend, Washington Irving, renews the vivid impres sions reawakened in my mind at Baltimore but the other day. I saw his fine face for the last time in that city. He came there from New York to pass a day or t w o with me before I went westward, and they were made among the most memorable of my life by his delightful fancy and genial humour. Some unknown admirer of his books and mine sent to the hotel a most enormous mint-julep wreathed with flowers. We sat, one on either side of it, with great solemnity (it filled a respectable-sized round table) ; but the solemnity was of very short duration. It was quite an enchanted julep, and carried us among innumerable people and places that we both knew. The julep held out far into the night, and my memory never saw him afterwards otherwise than as bending over it with his straw with an attempted air of gravity (after some anecdote involving some wonderfully droll and delicate observation of character), and then, as his eye caught mine, melting into that captivating laugh of his, which was the brightest and best I have ever beard.—Dear sir, with many thanks, faithfully yours, CHARLES DICKENS.—Charles Lanman, Esq., Georgetown, D.C." THE SUTHERLAND GOLDFIELDS.—A despatch which appears in the Northern Ensign, dated from Helms dale, states that the Duke of Sutherland visited the . diggings on Wednesday, when those selected for the pur pose sank a shaft on the level ground of the Strath near Kildonan Lodge. The result did not come up to the expecta tions of those interested, a few particles of gold being all that remained in the dishes after the stuff was washed out. The Duke did . not consider the prospect sufficient to warrant further proceedings, and accordingly gave it to be understood that sinking would have to be discontinued in the meantime. He stated that the revenue derived from the diggings was not sufficient to cover the expenses in con nection with them. The diggers are generally dissatisfied at the insufficient nature of the search, and consider that, in order to ascertain whether rich deposits really exist or the Strath, some thirty or forty holes ought to be sunk, and a thorough investigation made at various points alon g the valley, a few dishfuls of stuff from the bottom o f one shaft being, in their opinion, not a sufficient test. The workings on the Suiegill and Kildunan burns are still being carried on, but many of those engaged in the work are making very little of it, and have lost much of their former courage and good spirits. Numbers of those that took out claims last month got vary tired of the daily round of hard work and little pay, so that when their mond expired they did not renew their licenses, and left the district. A good many fresh bands have, however, ap peared on the scene, and up to Saturday some eighty-two licenses bad been issued for this month, and a considerable addition is expected to be made to the number. It wouli appear that the Duke has been much gratified by the discovery of gold on his estate, and that he entertains kindly feelings towards the discoverer. He brought with him on this occasion a valuable gold watch, which he pre , seated to THE ASCOT CUP DAY. Another of the great races of the year took plaCe on Thursday at Ascot. The Cup Day was very well attended, and threatens soon to equal the Derby in the number of its attendants. If Pretender and Pero Gomez did not "draw" as was expected on the Derby Day, Blue Gown and Brigantine performed before an audience such as Ascot has never seen before. Promenading in the Grand Stand enclosure was a mere delusion. The visitors were packed as close as in the pit of a theatre, and the carriages and other conveyances extended three and four thick, as far down as the turn into the old course. Fourteen years ago a quietly-disposed man might have botanised at that spot, and hardly had another spectator to share hie emotion, when Fandango and Bataplan raced home round the turn, whereas now every square foot of the rails seemed to have its gazer almost as far as the brick•kilns. Some carriages were not " in position" at all, but the joys of luncheon seemed quite to atone for the lack of a line of sight, Owners of drags held an "at home" on the roof, and seated on their box footboards, with their feet in the boot, and the Fortnum and Mason subjects of discussion on the box seat before them, did very comfortably on the whole. The cart company, on the contrary, placed their barrel at the cart tail, and sat down, regardless of ants and other delights, with their ruder fare on the sward. The day was fine overhead, but at times rather cold, and there was not one drop of rain to ease the troubles of those devotees of the road, who wound on the dusty way, while the verdure of crop and foliage on each side seemed to mock them with its freshness. ROYALTY. At a quarter-past ono o'clock the scarlet liveries of the royal party were seen on the hill of the new course, and as the usual procession advanced towards the Stand the people, in spite of every effort of Mr. i\lott and his police. men, broke across the course, formed and dressed line in the middle of it, so that the wheels of the royal carriages brushed the clothes of the people, who cheered loudly and uncovered, as regards the male portion of the throng, almost universally. Their Royal Highnesses appeared to take very much pleasure in this spontaneous demon stration of mingled curiosity and affection, and as they passed on the cheering was takenup until they disappeared within the royal enclosure, the gate of which was imme diately blocked by a thick crowd. In the first carriage were the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince of Denmark, and Princes* Mary. In the next carriage the Duke of Cambridge was accompanied by Hussein Pasha. The third contained Prince Teck and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar. The fourth, the Duke of Abercorn and party. The fifth, General Knollys and other gentlemen ; and the last, the gentlemen in waiting.. THE UNCERTAINTY OF RACING. the meeting of 1869 will certainly live for somo little time in the memories of racing men. Never has there been such a reversal of public form and running as we have witnessed this week. No horse seems to be able to run two days alike, and the Derby form, if the running is true, must be most moderate. Putting aside the bad figure cut by Pero Gomez, from atic urn Pretender could only just get home at Epsom, here was Duke of Beaufort, who had a narrow escape of place honours in the Derby, succumbing in the St. James's Palace Stakes to Dunbar, a horse whose pre vious performance has been only plating. Then, in the ith New Biennial, Badsworth, whose two-year-old form was superior, could make no fight of it with two such second-rate animals as Bruce and Paudore. The Ring shouted after their manner as each successive favourite was defeated, and plungers could only look to the Cup to retrieve thei osses. THE COLD COP RACE. There were five entries for the Cup—Brigantine, Blue Gown, Formosa, Trocad6ro, and 'Cliorwaldsen. They were paraded round the Royal Enclosure, according to time-honoured custom, and Blue Gown led his four com petitors in and out among the gay toilettes in a perfectly composed manner. Blue Gown was first favourite, of course, and Formosa and Brigantine carried the rest of the money, the latter, perhaps, being the most fancied by the best judges. The pace was very bad, and it was not till they got to the lime-kilns that it at all improved. Tro cadero made all the running, Thorwaldsen and Bine Gown lying next, with Sir Frederick Johnstone's filly in the rear. At the three-quarters of a mile post the Oaks winner rushed to the front, and from that point the race was over. Blue Gown ran gamely, and answered to Wells's call opposite the Royal Stand, but he could not get up, and Butler landed Brigantine an easy winner by a length. Thorwaldsen was third, a neck behind Sir Joseph's horse, but, failing to draw his weight, was disqualified, and the third place given to Formosa. The following is a more detailed account of the race : Having performed their toilets, the five runners were marshalled round the royal enclosure prior to taking their preliminary canter, which ceremony over, they trotted down to the post, and were immediately despatched on their way at slow pace. Thorwaldsen, over-pulling Hudson, was the first to spew in the van, but after running a couple of hundred yards he was steaded, and Trocadero, on the far side, went to the front and led past the Stand clear of Thorwaldsen, next the rails, Blue Gown going on third, with Brigantine and Formosa, side by tide, a length or so in their rear, the pace being extremely slow. Rounding the top turn Challoner increased his lead, and commenced the descent of the hill half a length in advance of the north country representative, close up with whom lay the favourite, Brigantine, and Formosa, the lot, as they entered the Swinley Mile Bottom, getting on closer terms. In this order they proceeded to the turn into the Old Course, three-quarters of a mile fr, - ,na home, rounding which Thorwaldsen, again having the beit of Hudson, rushed to the front, and for a few strides headed Trocad6ro, the pair being closely pursued by Blue Gown and Brigantine. Here the latter as they came over the road quitted her rearward position and joined issue with the leaders, the pace mending considerably as they came towards the bend for home. Here Trocadero was beaten, and was immediately headed by Brigantine, who came up on the inside, and joined Thorwaldsen, with Blue Gown and Formosa on the outside, the lot running closely together to half-way up the hill, where the latter gave way. Blue Gown here closed with the leaders, and as they neared the enclosure he headed Thorwaldsen and challenged Sir Frederick Johnstone's filly, and for a few strides the issue became most interesting ; but upon Butler calling upon the Oaks winner she drew away and won very cleverly by a length from the favourite, who defeated Thorwaldsen a neck for second honours, the latter finish ing four lengths in advance of Formosa and Trocad6ro. On returning to scale Hudson was found unable to draw the weight, and was disqualified, and Formosa thereby, fortunately for her backers, secured the place bets. The time, as taken by Benson's chronograph, was 4 min. 40./ sec. Time of 1868 race, 4 min. 381 se' A NOVEL EXPEDIENT. —The walls of Belfast were on Tuesday covered with " Protestant placards," announcing that arrangements were being made to convey all opponents of the Irish Church Bill who wished to go to " London or the Crystal Palace," at very considerably less than single fares for return tickets. How the pro- ceeding is to defeat the Church Bill is not quite clear. If such a project has any connection with intimidation, the hint may be taken by " the other side," and in that case the Ulster excursionists may find themselves terrifically outnumbered. —Northern Whig. IRELAND.—A telegram, dated Belfast, Thursday, says that the thirteen Orangemen who were arrested for riotous drumming were brought up to the police court that day and fined El each, with the alternative of four teen days' imprisonment. The magistrates said that only► for this being the first case of the kind this season, the prisoners would have been returned to the assizes.— A telegram from Cork, says :—" A party of men attacked Bellone Hall, Youghal, on Wednesday night. The leade demanded all arms and money in the house, but the inmates refused to give them, and the fellows failed in their efforts to break into the house. The police have been searching the locality of the murder of Mr. Power, but found no weapons. They, however, pro fess to have obtained important information at Killarney."-- On Thursday morning the paper mill of Messrs. Hamilton and Co., Glasgow, at Ballyclare, ten miles from Belfast, was totally destroyed by fire. The stock, machinery, and buildings, of the value of upwards of £20,000, were con sumed. The establishment was a most prosperous one, being worked both clay and night. It was the largest establishment of the kind in Ireland. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A DIVER.—A man named Thomas Giles Ryder was, a day or two ago, engaged in sub-marine diving at a wreck off Broadstairs. He went down thrice on the day in question, enveloped in his diving apparatus, into five fathoms of water, remaining below three-quarters of an hour each time. On the last occasion he went down he signalled " All right by the line, and cast the wreck-line off, aid then signalled for another rope, which was sent down to him. After he had been below some eight or nine minutes it was found by th man above that no signal could be got from him, and then an attempt was made to pull him up by the air-tube con nected with his helmet. The attempt was so far success ful that the unfortunate man was brought within some six or seven feet of the surface of the water, when thr pipe snapped, and he sank at once. The body was after wards recovered, and upon the inquest medical evidence sheaved that Ryder had been suffering from inflammation of the pleura, and that the main cause of death was ar insufficiency of air while diving. Many of the divers suffering from lung disease have been obliged to give up their calling from the fear of sudden death while k 4 the water. 1411,0,311,1 HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, June 9.
