The opening day of the above fixture was characterised by cold weather, a bitter east wind blowing in the teeth of the fair number of spectators who had assembled on the course with the true racing heroism which was never yet daunted by unpropitious skies. The proceedings corn .menced at two o'clock with the Lansdowne Trial Stakes, which set the example for the miserable fields whin were to follow; with only three runners. The marvellous " miler" Ostreger made a terrible example of Crown Prince and old Queen of _ Trumps, whose owners pre sumed to oppose him, as he gave them both weight and cantered in 30 lengths ahead of them. The "sensation" race of the day followed in the Fifteenth Biennial. This race was thought so good a thing for Wroughton that odds were freely laid on Mr. Cartwright's colt, upon the strength of his having run the present first favourite for the Derby to a head at Newmarket. Never, perhaps, was there a stronger case_ of "misplaced confidence," as Mr. Fleming's hitherto dangerous " outsider" for the "blue Abend," won with the most ridiculous ease by 15 lengths. This form certainly justifies his owner's enthusiastic re mark about the horse, after his recent victory at Ascot, which was to the effect that " Van" was the best horse in Europe. What can get in front of such a "clipper" over the Epsom Downs on Wednesday next will be a puzzle for the astutest turf prophet ever "foaled" to solve, not withstanding that as much as 12 to 1 was obtainable about the slashing son of Van Galen. The Two Year Old Biennial proved the "good thing" it looked for.Grimston, who landed the odds of 100 to 30 laid on him very easily. The Beaufort Cup resulted as usual in a great surprise, for not withstanding the form displayed by Moulsey, it was gene rally supposed that he could not get the distance, and as much as 4 to 1 was betted against him, while 6 to 4 was laid on Lecturer, who was beaten "into fits," thus show ing what a chance Lord Bateman lost of carrying off the Chester Cup by one of those unfortunate scrimmages which are sure to take place over the Rhoodee Course. Tumbler gave another proof of his previous form in the County Members' Plate, which concluded an interesting day's 'sport. As usual at this meeting there was some important betting on the Derby. In addition to the movement which took place in connection with Van Amburgh, some notable speculation arose about Vauban and The Rake, the first named recedingto as muck as 3 to 1, at which price he was backed for £lOO, and would have been supported for more money, but that 5 to 2 was only obtainable afterwards. An offer was then made to back The Rake against Vauban for an even thousand, which was accepted the moment it was offered by the Duke of Beaufort, who subsequently doubled the bet, and this emphatic support had the effect of giving the T wo Thousand whiner a call over The Rake, their prices at the close being sto 2 and 3to 1. Beyond these three animals none of the other Derby candidates were affected, and except that 1,000 to 15 was taken about Ben Nevis and Tynedale coupled, no other transactions took place at the time. The details of the running are as follow : The LansdowneTrial Stakes of 5 sovs eaeb,with 50 adied ; three year olds 7s 31b, four Bst 51b, five and upwards 9st; mares allowed 31b ; the winner to be sold for 800 sovs; if entered for 400 sous allowed 31b, if not to bo sold 71b extra ; one mile.

At the first attempt the lot were despatched to a good start. Alcazar, Whirligig, and the favourite lying almost abreast, but after a few strides had been taken Wroughton got quite level with Alcazar, who was about a neck in front of Whirligig, Van Amburgh being fourth, and Man of Ross last, and in this order they ran for about half a mile, when Wroughton, Alcazar, and Whirligig again got level, Van Amburgh being still in the fourth position. After about half the distance had been traversed, Van Amburgh drew up to the leaders, Alcazar and Whirli gig simultaneously dropping into the rear, and Van Am burgh, waiting on Wroughton to half way up the straight, came away and won in a canter by 15 lengths. Man of Ross was a bad third, Alcazar fourth, and Whirligig last.

Goojerat made play with a slight lead of Excoller, Red Riband, and Knight Errant, Pevensey bringing up the rear, and they ran in this order for a quarter of a mile, when Exceller was beaten and Vixen took up the running, Knight Errant going ou in advance of the others, who were all close up with Goojerat with the exception of Excoller. As they rounded the bend Vixen was beaten, and the Knight was left in front, but in a few strides he was joined by Goojerat, the pair running a tremendous race home, ending in favour of Lord Coventry's horse by a head.

An ordinary meeting of this society was held on Monday evening at Burlington House. The presi dent, Sir Roderick Murchison, before the com mencement of the business, male some observa tions on the proposed arrangements for a tenta tive search for Dr. Livingstone. He said the Go vernment ha 1 been induced, on the representation of the Geographical Society, to fit out an expedition for the purpose, and that a boat had been ordered to be constricted of thin steel plates and iron, espe cially adapted for navigation in shallow water, which might be taken to pieces and carried and put together again without much trouble. The expedi tion would be under the command of Mr. Young, who had accompanied Dr. Livingstone on his former explorations in command of the Pioneer. The ob ject of the expedition would be to ascertain whether Dr. Livingstone had actually been killed at the place mentioned by his runaway porters, or whether he had passed on into the interior. If the latter were the case there would be great hope that he was safe, for be:would have entered a part of the country where the natives were known to be friendly, and it might be expected that he would accomplish the object of ascertaining the level and direction of thd Lake of Tanganeka, and whether it flowed north wards to the other lakes which were supposed to be the sources of the Nile. Sir Roderick expressed the hope that Dr. Livingstone is alive, and that-he would yet return in triumph to receive the congratulations of the society. This hope, he said, was strengthened by a letter just received from Dr. Kirke, who stated that a merchant at Zanzibar bad reported he had seen a white man at the Lake of Tanganeka, and if so, that white man could be no other than Dr. report to make more particular inquiries. Chi nese a L h i l v e in t g o st m o e n e e Dr. t . withth K e irkehad merchant n o, who brought been that con structed by him from the best authorities and p rr t S Tartary, rt r E y R , .t a llD la O rg S e ßO: t o h f e n w r h e i a c d h a territory,paper eon pre sented to the society, was exhibited. He explained at some length the geographical features of the country which lies between Russia and our Indian possessions. The Himalayan mountains bound it on the south and a lofty range of mountains en close it on the north and west, in which only a few passes lifford accessible approach to the interior. Along the centre of the territory, from west to east, there is a desert more or less barren which is a continuation of the desert range from Africa. Capt. Osborn pointed out the boundary of the Russian empire, which had been gradually en croaching on Chinese Tartary, and he expressed the hope that the Russians would ere long occupy the whole of thatcountry, and introduce civilisation and Christianity, where there was at present only bar barism of the most savage kind. He said he did not apprehend any danger to our Indian possessions front the proximity of the Russians. Sir H. RAWLINSON dissented from the opinion that it would be desirable to have the Russians close neighbours in India, and he thought it desirable to have an intervening mountainous and desert space to act as a " politicalbuffer." He protested, however, against the restrictive policy which discourages com munication with thenativesbeyond our Indian fron tiers, for he considered that by entering into com mercial relations with the people, and making set tlements among them in the manner the Russians were accustomed todo, we would greatly strengthen our position. Sir R. MURCHISON said he had been accused of Russian proclivities, but his good opinion of the people was founded on personal experience ; and he agreed with Capt. Osborn that there was no danger to be apprehended from their . occupation of Chinese Tartary. All the Russians wanted was to improve their trade with China, And it could not endanger our possessions in the south by allowing them to have free access to China on the east. He said he had much satisfaction in stating that the council of the society had that day given their gold medal to a Russian admiral for his important additions to geographical science in Eastern Asia. Mr. Ley and Mr. Saunders also made some obser vations on the subject, and the meeting adjourned to the 27th inst., when the anniversary meeting of the society will be held.

" ' ' VSPAPER - •- ;; 1 The annual meeting of the Convocation of this University was held last evening at Burlington house, Piccadilly ; Dr. Storrar, Chairman of Con vocation, presiding. Dr. CARPENTER, the Registrar, produced on the part of the Senate the working plans of the new building, and explained that it had been found im possible to produce photographic representations o. the elevation, the original design for which was in the library of the House of Commons. Mr. Peat ic _ thorne, the Government architect, had shown a dis position to meet the views of the Senate ast to the internal arrangements, but the Board of I'Vorks would not allow any interference with their eleva tion. The original design of elevation was in the classical stye, which Mr. Cowper, while he was at the held of the Deprtment of Works, advocated, but Lord John Manners, his successor, directed that something in the mudiveval form should be prepared for consideration. This having been done, Lord John Manners requested him (Dr. Car penter) to let him know which style he would him self prefer. He disclaimed any right or intention to speak on the part of the Senate ; at the same time, he expressed his personal opinion in favour of the mediaeval design. The Board of Works accepted the suggestion of the Senate as to the theatre, which, as now arranged, would accommo date 800 persons. He thought it right to offer till s explanation, because the discussion which took place in the House of Commons conveyed a very errone ous impression of what actually occurred. Mr. W. P. O'REILLY, 8.A., M.P., presented the report of the annual committee, which gave a his torical account of what had taken, place during the year, anti, as the more important suggestions it con tained would be made the subject of future discus sions, he would not further advert beyond moving them. He then moved the reception of the report and the adoption of the following resolutions : " That it beau instruction to the annual committee for next year to co-operatelwith the Senate in every effort that it may be thought desirable to make iu order to secure the full and practical recognition by the Legislature of the claims of the University to Parliamentary representation. That, in the opinion of Convocation,all persons who have passed the ma triculation examination in this University are en entitled to any electoral privileges which may be accorded to persons who have passed any senior middle-class examination of any University in the United Kingdom." He explained that the object was to obtain two members for the University, in std of one, had shown which, a as the Chancello r disposition to depart from the mystic number of 658 mem bers, he thought possible. As to the second resolution, it merely proposed that , of the Ex chequer the educational franchise were adopted, the pass , ing of the matriculation examination should qualify in stead wh in regard to the right of voting in counties and boroughs. Dr. SIBSON seconded the motion, but, on the sug gestion of a member, the resolutions were separated, and the first, after a short discussion, was carried. On the second resolution being again read, Mr. CREAK, M.A., asked the chairman if any steps had been taken to secure a second representa -1 tive in Parliament ? The CHAIRMAN said that a memorial went up to the Government soliciting two members, and two petitions were presented to Parliament. Lord Stan ley took charge of the petition to the House of Commons. He said he would do it to satisfy the Lord President, but, at the same time, he felt per suaded that there was no hope of their being able to get more than one member. That was the state of things when the late Government went out of office. On the new Government coming in, the feeling was that circumstances had not differed from what they were a year ago. At the same ~: ~ time, when he heard it read in that morning's papers that it was proposed in the Scotch Reform Bill to give two more members to the Scotch Universities, he felt that the University of London was surely deserving of one more member, and that it would be right and proper to bring the subject forward again. There was one thing the house should bear in mind. It was quite true that Scotland got addi tional members, but at the same time the Univer sities were united—Edinburgh with Aberdeen, and Glasgow with St. Andrew's. He remembered it was at one time proposed that tho University of London should ba united with the University of Durham. The question certainly well deserved consideration, and if he were to suggest anything it would be that the question should be referred to the committee as soon as possible. Mr. JULIAN GOLDSMID, M.P., referring to the terms of the resolution, contended that to place matriculation examination upon a par with middle class examination would be to lower the character of the University, and urged that the term " middle class" was objected to by the Univer sities, and by those who were promoting those examinations. The Rev. P. SMITH said they were not discussing the question as if it were a fancy franchise. Matri culation examinations were a test answering to that of a middle class examination to those who did not go on to the degree. The CHAIRMAN said that the term " middle class" had been adopted as being the term used in . the bill. The resolution was then carried. On the motion of Mr. JESSELL, seconded by Dr. MACKENZIE, it was resolved that the Senate should be requested to concur in amending the standing orders to the effect that every member should pay an annual fee of 55., or a life composition of £l. Notice of motion had been given that Convoca tion should accept the Supplemental Charter dated April, 1867, but the CHAIRMAN explained that the Charter not having yet been sent down to the University, a special meeting would be called to consider it. Mr. J. ROBSON' then moved that it be an instruc tion to the annual committee for the ensuing year to adopt such steps as they may deem advisable in furtherance of the great object of obtaining for the University a suitable building. The question raised in this resolution was as to what would be a suitable building. They had been told that they had no right to interfere with the elevation, but he thought that to be most preposterous. It certainly was ab surd that the Senate should be required to take what ever building might be prepared for them. The annual committee had dissipated the delusion, and had come to the conclusion that that idea was alto gether erroneous. lie feared that if they did not bring Parliamentary influence to bear upon the ques tion they would be provided with a building which would be an object of ridicule throughout the country. Dr. PYE SMITH said the University ought to have a structure possessing dignity, simplicity, and re pose, but the scheme of construction proposed would not have any one of those qualities so far as its ex ternal aspect was concerned. lie was, however, of opinion that the internal arrangements would be found quite suitable for all the purposes of a Uni- versity. Mr. CREAK, ➢I.A., asked whether any opportunity was to be given to Convocation to express its opinion in reference to the proposed University building. The CHAIRMAN explained that the Crown pro vided the building, but had taken the opinion of the University as to the accommodation required. Par liament, however, demanded last year that the de signs should be laid before the House of Commons, and that in the meantime all proceedings with the building should be stayed. The drawings were now in the library of the House of Commons, but what would be the result he could not say. In the mean while he thought the best course would be for the annual committee to canvass the House of Com mons. If they could exercise any influence at all they must go for it to the House of Commons. Mr. P. SMITH moved as a rider to the motion the words, " and endeavour to obtain an opportunity for exhibiting the proposed plans and elevations of the building to the members of Convocation." The resolution was then put in its amended form, and, after some discussion, was agreed to. Some other business, chiefly of a formal character, was then disposed of, and the Convocation ad journed. 52. Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5, THE BIiST REMEDY FOR INUIGEITION.

The Somerset shire Handicap was not so much as mentioned, while the transactions that took place on the Derby will be fully ex plained by the undermeritioned quotations : DERBY. 100 to 40 agst Vauban (offered-300 to 100 taken) 300 to 100 agst The Rake (taken) 100 to 8 agst Van Amburgh (offered) 100 to 6 agst Dragon (offered) 100 to 6 agst Marksman (offered-20 to 1 taken) 20 to 1 agst The Palmer (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Julius (offered) 30 to 1 agst Grand Cross (offered) 35 to 1 agst D'Estournel (offered) 45 to 1 agst Fitz Ivan (offered) 66 to 1 agst Roquefort (offered) 66 to 1 agst Ben Nevis (offered) 100 to 1 agst Tynedale (offered) 100 to 1 agst Corporal (offered) PLACE BETTING. 100 to 80 on Vauban (offered) Even on The Rake (offered) sto 1 agst Dragon (offered) 10 to 1 agst Hermit (offered) OAKS. 5 to 2on Achievement (offered) Hyde Park and the Reform League. Mr. Beales has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Tinges Sir,—Permit me to say a few words in reference to your remarks on Monday as to the claim made by the Reform League to the use of Hyde-park, if it be but to thank you for the calm and courteous tone in which your remarks are expressed, and which is not a little refreshing after the mere vulgar and personal abuse and ribaldry, as regards myself and others, with which the subject has been treated in other quarters. You come to the conclusion that I and my friends were offenders, though our offence was only tres pass; but how are we shown to be offenders in the shape of trespass, or in any other shape? You com plain of my giving no authority or testimony for my view of the law ; but does not the same objec tion apply to the views put forth by, J at once ad mit, the very eminent law officers of two successive Governments, to whose opinions you refer ? In neither of those opinions is there a single decided case or other authority in any text book or other wise quoted or referred to in support of the opi nions. IVhile, then, they are nothing but a mere expression of opinion, the first of them, that given in 1856—and the subsequent opinion is open to the same objections—draws no distinction whatever be tween Crown lands and the private estates of a Sovereign, or between the parks so far as they are Crown lands and other Crown lands, takes no no tice whatever of the contract entered ,into between the Crown and Parliament at the commencement of every reign, ignores for the most part, any dedi cation of the parks to public use, and proceeds on the assumption that the authority to close and ex clude the public from the parks is that which every landowner has to prevent the public from trespas sing on his lands. With all deference, I demur to this analogy between the Crown, or the Government as representing the Crown in the matter of the parks, and an ordinary landowner. The numerous acts of Parliament which have been passed in refe rence to the parks are destructive of any such analogy. The parks" can neither be leased nor sold, nor, as I contend, be in any other way diverted from the use to which they have been dedicated, and that, too, for a valuable consideration. I am happy to have your own support in ques tioning this analogy in the able observations upon it contained in the Times of the 6th of May. It is there remarked that if a private proprietor were to suffer for a series of years the community of a neigh bouring town to take the management of his park and lay out large sums on it upon an express or im plied understanding that they should have the enjoy ment of it at reasonable hours, he clearly could not suddenly terminate that right of user, if, indeed, he could terminate it at all. The writer then refers to the abolition of the nullum tempus occurrit regi doc trine by 9 George 111., c. 16, making 60 years' pos session or enjoyment good against the Crown, at the same time observing that the doctrine itself never applied to cases of supposed or implied dedi cation or grant. To this I may add 2 and 3 Wil liam IV., c. 71, making 40 years, or even 20 years' enjoyment of any way or other easement good against the Crown. The opinion in question, that of 1856, also assumes that the Crown has given only a conditional permission or licence to the pub lic to enjoy the park, which it is competent at any time to the Crown, or those acting in the manage ment of the park, to revoke, and upon a similar assumption the subsequent opinion of the law offi cers of last year, who do not appear disposed to go so far as their predecessors, was entirely based. But where is the evidence of any such conditional license or permission ? If there be no such evi dence, as I believe to be the fact, what is the ground upon which such conditional licence or permission is implied? What is the implication upon the faith of which a notice could be issued supposing that notice not to have been in other respects in valid, which could have the effect of converting me into a trespasser upon the very property of which I had the enjoyment ? There are many other questions, including those referred to by Lord Romilly, affecting the matter, not the least of them being the actual present posi tion of the legal estate, upon which I cannot now enter, and with which I have no claim to encumber your columns. Considering the expense and delay attendant upon the litigation of such a matter, it is hardly fairly to make it a charge against me that I did not bring the question to an issue by legal pro ceedings against the Government, or others, who excluded us from the park last year. This was a course more within the means and power of the Go vernment ; at all events, it is open to them now, if they consider their view of the law to be right. You call upon me and my friends to remember that all classes of society have claims to considera tion. Several days back I publicly stated in writing that we did not wish to offend even the prejudices of others, if we could avoid doing so, in insisting on what we considered an important constitutional right. lam prepared to do anything in my power towards an arrangement of the dispute, which shall be reasonable and fair towards all classes, and espe cially which may tend to remove all class rivalry or animosity. MURDER IN MONKIVEAR3IO UTH. Another of those painful scenes of violence and bloodshed which have unfortunately for some time past been so prevalent among the Irish population of Sunderland and neighbourhood has occurred, and in the present instance, as in two or three others, has terminated in the death of the unhappy victim. John Mason, the man assailed, was a pitman, and the murderer is Patrick Gorman, also a pitman. Wilson, a man named Kagan, and John M'Kenna, together with a number of others, were talking to gether in Wilson-street at a quarter to 1 o'clock on Monday morning, when Patrick Gorman made his appearance amongst them with an open clasp-knife in his hand, and on one of them inquiring, " What are you going to do with the knife ?" be at once rushed amongst them and dealt out blows right and left. One man was stabbed in the back; M'Kenna received a cut on the knee ; and the knife entering the soft part of Mason's thigh, caused the blood to gush out in torrents. On seeing the effects of his c owardice, Gorman instantly ran for refuge to one of the passagesleading to Wilson-street. Two police officers were called to the spot, and conveying Mason to his home, sent for surgeons to attend to him, but so much blood had been lost by the severing of an important artery that their services were of no avail, and death ensued three hours afterwards. After the officers had assisted the man home, they proceeded in search of the prisoner, whom they found by the print of a blood-stained hand on the wall, and at once conveyed him in safety to the police station, where he stated that he was followed home by three men, knocked down and kicked, and he drew a knife to defend himself. A pocket knife was found in his possession, on which were marks of blood. Mr. Elwin, a magistrate, and Mr. Abbs, the clerk, were called to take the dying deposition, but the man died within five minutes of their arrival. The prisoner was placed before the magistrates at noon on Monday, but was remanded for the production of evidence.

The Etendard announces that the Emperor of Russia will leave St. Petersburgh on the 29th of May, and will arrive in Paris on the 4th of June. Izzet-Pacha, Governor of Jerusalem, has been dismissed on account of several acts of exaction. . . - The King of Greece is already in Paris ; so are Prince Oscar of Sweden and the Duke of Leuchtenberg. In a few days the King and Queen of tho Balgians, the Queen of Portugal, the Prince of Wales, and the Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia will arrive. Paris is also to have the Emperor of Russia and two of his sons, the Emperor and Empress of Austria, and perhaps the King of Prussia. The Queen and King of Spain and the Vice roy of Egypt will also honour the capital with their pre sence. " Never," says the Constitutionnel, with just pride, "never since fifty years has Paris soon within its walls such an assemblage of Princes." IADVERTISENIENT.I—iIeIiONVey'S Ointment and Pills.-- Redemption from Disease.—The hidden cause, the unsus pected source of many a wasting sickness and failing strength, has been developed by t hese admirable pills, and the application of the ointment to the malady thus dis covered has rescued many valuable lives from a continued torture and premature end. Piles in all the many forms under which they afflict mankind, fistulas, strictures, in. flammations, ulcerations, internal, external, recent, or chronic, are thus safely and speedily brought to a state of ease, and thence conducted to a lasting and perfect cure.
