LADIES' WORK SOCIETY.—A society is in course of formation for procuring work for ladies, and to be the means of offering it to the public for sale. Such an insti tution is needed, for the long list of " reduced gentle women" seems not to lessen, but daily to increase. It is confidently expected that the society will be the suecessfu means of affording remunerative employment tD many who are silently and hopelessly struggling to gain a liveli hood. The names of those favourable to the project will be received by Miss Emily Faithful, at tho Victoria Press, Princes-street, Hanover-square. " COLONIAL TARIFFS."—A valuable pamphlet has been recently issued by the Financial Reform Union, con taining a complete statement' of the various customs tariffs of the British colonies, a table showing the duties levied upon British produce and manufactures, and an analysis of the expenditure and taxation of each colony.

The arrangements for the annual dinner of the Newspaper Press Fund, which is to take place on Saturady at Willis's Rooms, are sufficiently advanced to ustif the manag ing committee in believing that the s i x th anniver sary will be at least equally successful as any of its prede cessors. Up to yesterday nearly forty members of the Houses of Peers and Commons had intimated their inten tion of supporting, by their presence, Lord Iloughtou, who takes the chair; and, as on previous occasions, dis tinguitled repro: entatives of art, science, and literature, indeed of nearly all t roc he pngs. rufe:.biThe musicaous, express l th programme,eir desire to take part iu the pceli proverbially excellent at the Press Fund dinners, will be of a most attractive character, Mr: Benedict kindly pre siding, and various artists of eminence gracefully volun teering their services. A committee, conting of Capt. Digby, Major Cooke, and Mr. ti. W. Walker, Deputy- Acountant-General of the Navy, with Mr. C. D. Loveless as secretary, 'are engaged in bringing to an uniform sys'etn the methods of procedure at the several divisions of Royal Marine Artillery and Light Infantry in referencJ to pay and accounts. The committee have concluded their investigation at Plymouth and Easncy barracks at Portsmouth, and are now pursuing their imp:irks at Eaton.

The struggle has excited unprecedented inte rest, has been conducted with remarkable order, and has had a decisively unanimous issue. The proportion of votes given was 'very large. In the first circumscription in 1863 24,003 votes were given; in 1869 the number is 35,000. In the second circumscription the numbers are respectively 21,000 and 32,000 ; iu the third, 28,000 and 36,000 ; in the fourth, 23,000 and 33,000 ; in the fifth, 26,000 and 37,000, and so on throughout. The number of electors has, indeel, increased also.; hut, I need hardly say, not in this proportion. NotwiLlistanding the immense ininiber of voters whose suffrages had to be taken in.two ilays— a vast army of 300,003 men in Paris alone—no disturbance arose ; everywhere the electors have behaved irreproachably, and both Liberal and official journals agree that the election reflects the greatest credit on the city of Paris. The result has been a " Red" vote. The extreme men have been preferred in almost every circumscription. In the first, Carnot, a republican of advanced views, an excellent rtpre sentative, one would have thought, for this Republican city, has been easily beaten by Gambetta, the extreme Radical, who has recently risen to fame by his splendid eloquence. Carnot was a good deputy ; everybody respected him ; but the Parisians felt that if their cause, be it good or bad, is to prosper, it must be entrusted, not merely to men who represent it, but to men who can eloquently plead for it. Hence the overwhelming defeat of Carnot in the third circumscription. Bancel has beaten Emile 011ivier, the leader of the Tiers-Parti. The decision of this most important contest amounts to nothing less than a declaration of war to the knife between Paris and Imperialism. Emile 011ivier thought that France might accept the Empire if grievances were redressed — liberty conceded. Paris, for its part, maintains that the Emperor is an enemy with whom no compromise is possible, and therefore none shall be attempted. Instead of the moderate, but by no means Imperialist 011ivier, the third circumscription has returned the most furious Radical in all France, Bancel, member of the Provisional Govern ment of 1848, a politician who will take the oath of allegiance only with the avowed intention of breaking it, and who enters the Corps L4gislatif only the better to secure the fall of the present Sovereign. Picard, Jules Simon, and Pelletan, all advanced Republicans, have been elected. In the other circumscriptions the battle will have to be fought over again ; but the contest will be only between one form of opposition and another. In the second circumscription M. Thiers has obtained 13,300 votes ; Deviuck, the chocolate maker, 10,404; and D'Alton Shre, the aristocratic Republi can, 8,000. The latter will retire, and then M. Thiers goes in easily. In the fifth the struggle is between Raspail and Gamier Pees, both extreme men. The official candidate is nowhere. In the seventh Jules Favre and Rochefort, one a shade redder than the other, will fight for the seat. The official candidate, a shoe maker, who can neither read nor write, met with the fate his ignorance merited. It is only in the sixth circumscription that an official candidate has made anything like a fight. There the representative of the Government was M. Cochin, an able man, and of very powerful influence. If an Imperialist could ges in anywhere for Paris, it was in this section. But Jules Ferry, the Republican, gained 12,916 votes, Cochin got 12,470, and Cuiroult, another Republican, 4,F51. At the next trial the Liberals will con centrate on Ferry, and then what chance will Cochin Lave ? The second balloting takes place on Sunday and Monday week, the 6th and 7th of June. A t the second ballot, which is necessary Vi henever no can didate gets more than half the total number of votes polled, the majority, be it half or not, is decisive. The important question, " What has the country done ?" can hardly be answered yet. Some returns have not been received whilst I write, in others the contest has been indecisive, and a second test will be neces sary. But enough is known to enable certain re sults to be stated with perfect confidence. Almost all the moderate men, no matter of what party, have been defeated. France has recognized only the two extremes—the Imperialists and the Republicans. In the last Parliament and its predecessors there were representatives of various shades, Imperialist, Orleanist, Legitimist, Tiers-Parti, and Republicans of various shales. In the Parliament of 1869-75 there will be only the first and thelast of these—a circum stance which irresistibly prompts the reflection, les extremes se touchent. The Orleanists and the Legitimists have vanished. M. Thiers, the leader of the former party, will doubtless get in for Paris, though not so triumphantly as the extreme candidates. lie has been beaten by large majorities in no less than five provincial constituencies -at Lisle, Marseilles, Morlaix, and in two circumscriptions of the Vienne. All his lieutenants have failed absolutely. Casimir-Perier, de Broglie, Remusat, d'Audiffret, Pasonier, Bocher, Pr6vost-Paradol,Lambrecht Duchritel, De Witt, Decazes, and Jaubert have tried and have not succeeded. The most fortunate of them received only the sn:al number of votee. The Orleanist party formed only a very small fraction of the last Chamber, but this time it is doubtful whether it will be represented by more than a unit. The route is complete. The Legitimists arc in even worse case. I believe that not a single representative of the Count de Chambord will find his way to the Corps L6gislatil. The election of 1869 has ended in the disappearance of these once powerful parties from the political stage. The Government has gained 196 seats, and the Opposi- tion 26 ; the remainder are doubtful of unknown. The official candidates, as might have been expected, will once • more be in a large majority. But the Opposition will be much more formidable than in the last Chamber, for it will be homogeneous, and it will be slightly larger. It will consist almost wholly of Republicans, and mostly of extreme Republicans. The great towns have followed the example of Paris. Lyons has chosen Bancel and Raspail ; Marseilles has given a large majority i o for Gambetta, who must prove the victor at the second test. In the vuotftoeitsihrtehr whiche circumscription r e c u m three s u c . er pe Opposition the spread official candidates, is first,the b amongst these three must be decisive when con centrated on one. Bordeaux and Nantes have equally pronounced for the Radicals. The Jura has again elected the Liberal, whom, to the astonish ment of everybody, it chose a short time age. M. Emile 011ivier has been successful in the Var. The fullstrength of the Opposition cannot be even approximately estimated until the numerous ind ec i s i ve e l ec ti ons are f oug ht over again. But it is certain that it has gained by the contest. Even the Patric admits this. TILE REASSEMBLING OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. Glyn, the Liberal "whip," has Iznies a similar to Mr. Gladstone's supporters in the House of Comihoris, announcing that a division will be taken on the third ree4big of the Irish Church Bill on Monday evening, and weltering requesting the attendance of Liberal members on that occasion to support the Government. Divisions are also expected on Thursday evening on important features of the Budget. krt NA VAL AND 3111,1TARF INTELLIGENCE. Major-Gen. Sir David Wood, K.C.8., ILA., is appointed Commandant of the Garrison at Wool wich, in succession to Major-Gen. E. C. Warde, C. 8., R.A., whose period of Staff service expires at the end of the present month, but as Sir David Wood has obtained permission not to assume the command before the lst of July next, Major-Gen. Warde will still continue to carry on the duties of the command until that period. The officers of the 18th Hussars dined together last evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street. The officers of the Bth (King's) Regiment had their annual dinner last evening at Willis's-rooms, King-street, St. James's. The annual regimental dinner of the 33d (Duke of Wellington's Regiment) was held yesterday evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The 94th Regiment of infantry, comprising about 30 officers and 500 non-commissioned officers and men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Mein, paraded yesterday morning on Woolwich common, and underwent an inspection by the com mandant of the garrison, Major-General E. C. Warde, C. 8., R.A. After the Major-General had passed down the front rank and up the rear rank, the regiment broke into open column of companies right in front and marched past, and subsequently formed on their original ground, when they were ad !I cssel by the commandant, who expressed h'in self well pleaied with the smart, clean, and so!dier like appearance of the men, who reilectud the greatest credit upon the corps after their journey from Dover in such unsettled weather during the four days they were ou the line of march. _ _ The Greenwich Hospital pension of £5O a year vacant by the death of Mr. W.

The attendance on Eirom Downs to-day wil, doubtless quite equal that on any former occasion. not excepting that of the Great Exhibition year About eight o'clock this morning "the road" bega , to assume its usual "PPea'ace, the EK-I.lratit an Castle, of course, being the that j oint at ‘vhiell excitement began to develope itself. here, as or old, a numb( r of people bad collected to witness the arrival and departure of the thousands of metropo litans who lad made up their minds to enjoy them sehes, and at the same time to take the road in preference to the railway for per. forming the journey. Thule was a strong body of police at the various taints to preserve some degree of order, but the fun began to develope itself at an early hour, and by ten o'clock it had become almost uneontrolable. The vehicles used on the occasion by the thousands "going to the Derby" were as extraordinary as usual ; all the old open barouche; that had been laid up since last year by the jobunisters were brought into requisition, and the cattle attached to many of them seemed as fit to do the distance out and home as they wouldeave been to have joined in the great contest to be brought to au issue at three o'clock this afternoon. The pains th it had been taken to give them a fresh appearance must have been very great, but as they seemed to the holidaymakers to be quite the thing they pursued their journey in the highest spirits. Then came the popular vehicle of the million for their holiday excursions- —the vans, with thirty or forty occupants each, and some of these were resplendent with decorations, so much so, that for the- day they had becu christened " The Sa'oon Conveyance," but the proprietors had not gone to the extravagance of quite disguising the homely uses to which they are put on differentoccasions, and the words "goodscare fully removed" led to the most uproarious chaffing as they came on fast and furious. Amongst the holiday voyagers the pea shooter seems I to be in general use, and in some cases for a pea the shooter got a small bag of flour in return, to the immense delight of the crowd of non-starters, as they were commonly called by one swell wit) had been got up regardless of expense. 'rho itenerent vendors of vegetables in the streets were not behind the rest of the people on the great occasion ; they had deter mined to devote their " flats" to a day's pleasure, and as the most dashing of them drove up to " Ilele pliant to have a wet" the laughter was enormous. They seemed to have arranged accommodation for about six as a rule, but how the unfortunate but well-fed donkey was to survive the return journey seemed a matter of the most profound in difference to both mde and female, the great object apparently being to get to " the Downs' and to leave the remainder of the business to the chap ter of accidents. Then curie the well-to-do trades man in his cart,with ILI partner of his worldly tells, proud in the enjoyment of a bran new bonnet for the occasion, suril ng by his bide, iti,lilug!) the f.ivouri!e colour of tiro day " ellow and black," dal not suit the complexion of ad who si or:ei it. o.:e par y early in the morning suffered a mishap, an I wl,i,Ar doubtless spo.led the fun of the day, for on alight ing. at the usual resting-place the ()wilet found that, owing to the insecure wanner i i winch " the ham -ler" ha I been fastened to the nxle:ree underneath the cart or the polite attention of some one looking about for unconsidered trifles, " the whole lot" had gone, and their remained nothing to da but pur sue their journey uaencu.nbered with the commis sariat department. The dashing equipages from the west end did not begin to show until about half past nine, and they arrived iu rapid succession ; certainly on no former occasion have they been exceeded either in number or style. There was . the aristocratic four in -hand, the occupants of which seemed generally to sport the cherry colour of Sir J. Ila.wley and the blue and saver of Pretender. Open landaus and barnuches, occupied with ladies whose toilette was a perfect wonder, followed ; and then came the " advertising mediums" of cheap clarets, cheap clothing, quack medicines, and " to persous about to marry," who distributed their favours with the utmost profusion. The inhabitants of the houses on either side of the Claphatn-road occupi.d their fore-courts to witness the ho:iday cortege in great numbers ; and altogether the eight of the road w.ts ai curious and entertaining as it ever has been iu previous years. At the railway stations the secne was one of ex treme excitement; at Waterloo, the nuinb,!r of those who left by the chap trains pt for to nine o'clock was enormous, and, although the struggling for plae..s was general, on the whole gool temper prevailed, and the imtnensa strings of carriages le t the station in safety. At Loudou-bridge and Victoria the same scenes were enacted. About 10 o'clock was the time fixed for the running of the fast trains, and as these were quite as numerously patronised as the cheaper ones, the railway com panies, no doubt, would like the arrangement much better did the races extend over a month at the least. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7&is Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A Cuitiot:s liomiEnr.—Annie Williams, an unfortunate, was charged bef,:re Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a shilling from the shop of Mr. Shepherd, surgeon, No. 136, Great Portland-street. From. the evidence of Mr. Fleson, assistant to Mr. Shep herd, it appeared that the prisoner, who was in a state of intoxication, was served with two draughts and left, and shortly after returned and looked behind the counter. She then went to the desk, attempted to tear up some prescrip tions, and took up a shilling and put it in her pocket. As the prisoner would not leave he sent for a constable, who took the prisoner to the station, and on the way she threw away the shilling. T. Russell, 108 E, proved that the prisoner, who was very drunk, threw away a shilling. The prisoner said she had no need to take a shilling, as she had money of her own. Mr. Tyra hilt said that he should have thought the taking of two draughts would have sobered the prisoner, but it did not appear to have done so. The prisoner had not only taken a shilling, but she had attempted to destroy the prescriptions• She would be remanded. WESTMINSTER. MORE PERILS OF RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—A boy named Ford, respectably connected, was charged with throwing stones upon the Metropolitan District Railway. P o lice-constable William Gulstan, 316 B, said that he saw the defendant at a little after five last night at Pelham place, lit,ightsbridge. There is a bridge there, and the defendant threw two small donee over it at a train that was pr.ssing. Defendant said he was throwing at the wall and the stones went over by accident. The constable said that the defendant could soe tho train passing. Mr. A ruold—This is a most serious thing ; I really don't know what is to be done. Boy's Father—l am very sorry. My son threw at the wall, and did not mean to do any harm. Mr. Arnold—That may be true, but ho is not aware of the mischief ho may do. Ho might injure a person very seriously. With the speed of the train if a stone truck the window or entered the carriage it would be like a gunshot. I must do the best I can to stop this. Defendant is fined 10s. or seven days. THAMES. THE CAPTAIN ON A LEE SHORE.—Two smartly -dressed foreign women, named Louisa Hoffman, aged 21 years, and Eleanor Posillimine, No.l, White-horse-court, Royal Mint-street, were brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a £5 Bank of Englanl note from the person of Captain Carl Christian Wallis, master of the ship Har mony in the West Jndia Dock. The prosecutor was on a cruise on shore last night, and met with the prisoners. He was taken all aback with their attentions and blandishments. He treated them Witty ligror and went to sunlry places with them. Ali was b:iss, contentment, and good humour uuil I.e missed a .C 5 Bank of England note. He accused them f staaliugjt. They made , loud protestations of innocence, but wore notwithstanding given into cnstody,l(nd wart:lied. A few shillings only was found upon them. Mr. Benson thought it would be useless to commit the prisoners for trial. Nu gra%l jury would Bud a bill against them, and they must be discharged. Captaiu Wallis —1 waut my £5 note. Mr. Ben:Fon—l cannot give it to you. You should select better company, and act with mora discretion. Captain Wallis —My .£5 note is gone. Mr. Benson—Yee.

I don't mean to say it is the case. The prisoners must have the beuetit of the doubt iu their favour. No jury would convict them. 15 1 I 1 1: ) _ 4 g _ 1 F ; ... a.

At the fall of the 11 to this time an excellent start was effected, and all got away together in a cluster, in which position they remained until the famuus Tatteuham corner was reached. Pero Gomez and The Drummer at this point began to show in front of the rest, and immediately after this the lair we have mentioned began the struggle in earnest, Pretender, however, being closely in attendance. In this posi tion they went on to within a short distance of the winning-post, the race at this mommt appearing certain either for Peru or the Drummer, with third honours for Pretender; but within a btride of two of home Pretnider's jockey callel upon his hors, who:answered th, invitation w.t:i a t , pleadi.l rush, or, more properly speaking, a jump, and made I.ims,lf the winner by a neA.
