How Ae do you think, are the umbrellas now forming vast testudo of warriors' shields, and swaying flzte ward in a compact body, as if advancing to take the Grand Stand by storm ? You see. from the ropes almost halfway up to the brow of the hill, it is one dark mass—a black mass, for the women, after all, constitute but an inconsiderable minority, and there is but little to relieve the dingy monotony of men's hats and coats. Now, of all those hundreds and thousands of men, how many, do you think, really care to see the Derby? How many stop to look round at the cry, " They are off !" in terrupting even for one minute and a half their penny throws at the ducal game of Aunt Sally ? And of those who really come to see the race and set great store by it, how many, do you think, have really a chance to see it? How many who have seen nothing of it will go home boldly asser ting that they have seen it? Grave questions all these, but which I have no time to solve, as upon the cry, " They are off !" a mighty stir seems to convulse the whole mass ; the very " swells" in the stalls are electrified ; a confused roar of half a million voices rends the air in an awful crescendo, and bursts at last into a proclamation of " Hermit! Hermit !" the victor. Id. STAMPED sd. i condition for realising the joy; of the Derby was not a firm resolution to make a day of it? I do not envy the lungs of the man who can turn his back ripen London without rapture at the mere inhalation of the fresh country air. I had no need of the glass, and no occasion to consult the weather wisdom of a Mathieu de la Drome to be aware that those heavy clouds clinging so fast to the tops of the big Clapham elms boded no good. Nay, I was sure of chill gusts of wind, heavy showers, hail, snow, and all the battle of the elements ; but in , the meanwhile this was air that I breathed, this sickly sun, this momentary warmth, this fresh deep, dripping verdure, were unalloyed delight, the tide of life sweeping with me down the road, the sea of life pent up beside me along the road, all contributed to fill me with happiness. The road to the Derby is the best part of the Derby—it is what courtship is to marriage. There are stalls and pri vate boxes, half-a-guinea and sixpenny seats at the racecourse. Betting gentlemen have their paddock, their club-tents, a score of private haunts, inacces sible to the vulgar. But on the Queen's high road King Mob reigns supreme. The road is every man's ground. His Grace's four-in-hand has no right of precedence over the costermonger's donkey; dog-cart, pony-chaise, butcher's cart, Hansom, four. wheeler, drag, omnibus—the whole endless caravan jogs and jostles along on perfectly equal terms. The skill of the whip constitutes the law of the road ; and where two and three and more lines of conveyances come to a standstill at the turnpike, at the baiting station, anywhere, where a brewer's cart comes into collision with — r ffitlVaver's van, tire'-' duke has no better remedy than the orange-seller— none other than patience, a fresh cigar, and a chaff. Anything sweeter than the temper of all this Merry England under the trying difficulties of the Derby Day is not to be conceived. It is customary to con trast the behaviour of the English lower classes with those of other countries, especially those of the European Continent ; and John Bull is rather apt to delight in comparisons to the disparagement of his own countrymen, when it is himself that draws them ; but the truth is, that the people, no matter in what region of the earth, when bent upon plea sure, is easily pleased, and, so long as pleased, not inclined to interfere with others' pleasure. So long as we were in sunshine, nothing could equal the cheerfulness of the vast assemblage, actors as well as spectators. The scene was gay, but not noisy ; and that is the peculiarly English character that gives it charm ; for the Neapolitan rabble also can take their pleasure in their curriculos, and enjoy it, too ; but their yells and shrieks, the roaring of all their yawning throats, make their pleasure a torture to all but themselves, and impart to their very frolics something resembling strife rather than peace. Talk of the language, also. To hear some of our tra velled people, one would say that all that is foul and impious only issues from English mouths ; that the Italians, for instance, know no worse oaths than their classical Corpo di Bacco. Yet there are ex pressions familiar in their mouths as household words, of which it would be better not too particu larly to inquire the meaning, and to hope that in reality they bear no meaning ; there are epithets flung at the Virgin as eagerly as sticks are shied at Aunt Sally on Epsom Downs, which ought to make a believer's hair stand on end. That I have heard no bad words to-day from morning to evening, it would be vain to deny ; but this I maintain, that in England the language is worse the lower we go, and that very emphatic ejaculations are seldom uttered in cold blood ; and that is more than can be said of many other countries. So long as the sun shone there was unalloyed bliss on the Surrey high roads ; but the clouds rose and spread and thickened ; and the cataracts of Heaven poured down, and there were showers and squalls, and hail and snow and sleet, and hats were blown from men's heads, and muslin clung soaked and draggled to women's limbs. There-was a damper on the common joy; but no disturbance to the gene ral good temper; shawls were thrown gipsywise over bonnets, overcoats were closely buttoned a la Weller, and on we jogged. Many were the fine feathers, many the full chignons that came to grief. Soiree of the hdhvy hampers were flooded, but on we jogged. Stoppages seemed twice and thrice as long under the heavy infliction. Those faces which passed us again and again in the perpetual crossing of the lines, till they became familiar, and we felt as if we were old acquaintances, and ought to bow to one another—that carroty-headed smoker of cigarettes—that elderly loving couple in the dog cart, those six merry lasses on the omnibus top ; all those familiar faces begin to look blue with cold, long with weariness, heavy with vexation. But the discomfiture is neither absolute nor permanent ; showers alternate with sunshine; the glasses are let down and pulled up every five minutes ; frowns are smoothed into smiles ; and wet, and shivering, and joking, we jog on. We come to Epsom Downs, make straight for the Grand Stand, and look down from the top. There is Pandemonium ; all the wealth, all the squalor, the gentility, the blackguardism, the mind and heart, the virtue and vice of all London un folded before us at one glance. Every class and rank, every tenet and principle is represented here, even that of those who look upon Epsom as the sink of all iniquity. Witness Mr. S. M. Houghton, who presented me with the seventy-thousandth copy of his latest publication at the door of the Grand Stand, a favour for which I beg him to accept this tender of public thanks. Those who wish to con ceive some idea of the temper of the English peo ple should come to the top of the Grand Stand. There are ten thousand persons pushing their way up the narrow staircase, ten thousand forcing their way down against them. The ascending and the descending tide struggle at the trapdoor-like pass age flanked by two policemen. The in-comers and the out-goers are equally unreasonable, equally irra tional. " Pass along, please, gentlemen," suggest 793 A, in the most insinuating tone. " There is plenty of room further, if you will only move on." Then, of those that come up he begs time for the others to go down ; of those who go down he begs time for the others to come up. Both parties are equally indocile, equally stolid. There is no pro gress on either side ; the pushing and crushing are immense, but the patience and goodwill are inalter able, and the policeman's coat tails ought to be turned into wings, for he is certainly an angel. Down below, in the midst of a different crowd, you see other manners. In the opening between the Grand and the minor Stands two streams of mob have conic into collision. There is the ebb into and the flow from the racecourse ; the " rough " element predominates, soft words would be thrown away. There is a charge of three policemen—no more than three—a downright Homeric onset. Such strong arms and such broad shoulders are not seen every day. Sir Richard Mayne keeps thetn in re serve for doughty deeds of this nature. 'rile three heroes dive into the crowd ; they force it asun ler ; they take them up in armfuls; they winnow them like flails ; they fling them down pe/e-mg/e, like mere bags of rags. Oh I it is rough but efficient work, and without it, without a great deal of it, no man's purse would be worth a day's purchase at the Derby. And now, if you please, we will make the tour behind the ropes, survey the bright inmates of the carrieges, the skulking rogues and vagabonds prow ling about them, or, perhaps, we will go back to the Stand, up to the stalls, where the cream of the Pall mall Clubs take shelter from the weather's incle mency. Very gentlemanly men, most of them, very good-looking, very English, but silent and glum and bored, betraying no interest whatever in the great - scene below ; no impatience as time wears on, one false start following upon another. Yet it is to these, and to such as these, that the Derby owes its chief glories. But now, if you are at all of a statistical turn of mind, please to look down and tell us at what figure A CA7IIOLIC BISHOP ON CHURCH AND STATE AND LOYALTY. nß h rtyem e bdoer vlav ß tac ::;Demkobr consistedr, re a ly.rh, n whtaßeihh C rsn eirte a cot thßhaoet of the town tpwhonref celebration niTba Wolverhamptontruhaeotsirdnnaney n.(the f Th opened Pontifical open ingom a u , a t,ho n , ruvr d lithi t a ci b s ßHwe e r fiheos m iahre o leoht n p:D b oaor y t.ff ictaCh the se a tg se T er h t t i g h i Catholic Bishop of hhiwnal ß nvd ai thershm, (Romanaopirnfrdgo course,l Birmingham), procession, ec ) a , e Shrewsbury). Altogether about 40 of the Catholic about half-past 11, the service commenced. At the conclusion of the service a luncheon took place, the our Holy Father the Pope, and many years to him," The toast was drunk amidst the hurrahs of the as Ullatborne rose, and said, with as little interval as possible after, Let us drink the health of our Sove reign Lady the Queen. He then proceeded to say that, if it was a maxim much dwelt upon by great thinkers, by profound philosophers, and by large minded politicians, that if there was a principle that was more mischievous to the liberty of mankind than another, it was that the Church and State should be blended into one, the necessary conse quence of that principle was that the great secret of the liberty of man was found in the state and the church standing apart in respect of the authorities which presided over them. The happiest, perhaps the most felicitous, condition in mankind in many respects had been found when there were great sove reigns and great pontiffs, when the great sovereigns held society together by political order, and when the great pontiff held it together by religious order. That principle was pre-eminently the catholic prin ciple ; therefore they felt no shrinking, no mental difficulty, no obstacle whatever in their thoughts when they proposed these two sovereigns, each standing in separate order. The Church was of course pre-eminent. It was so regarded by the old Pagan ; and the pre-eminence of the Church was implied in the phrase of " Church and State.' They proposed the Pope first simply because the order of God was before the order of man. (Ap plause.) At the same time it was the spiritual order which commanded them from its higher place to give all honour, respect, obedience, and loyalty to the head of the temporal order. If, therefore, Catholics were pre-eminent in their loyalty to their sovereign, that loyalty did not spring from a mere sentiment. It did not arise merely and simply through the sense of patriotism which belonged to all men ; it did not arise purely and solely from the attachment to the individual—however much the individual sovereign, like our present sovereign, Queen Victoria, might have qualities wonderfully winning and attractive. Certainly Queen Victoria had done great things for this country. (Applause.) They had had sovereigns who bad almost contami nated the family relationship. (Shame.) But she was a brilliant example of a devoted wife —now, alas, a widow—and of a devoted head of a family. ,In that capacity she had raise 1 the whole spirit —the whole dignity as it were—she bad raised and exalted all the nobler qualities which be longed to that which was pre - eminently English, namely, the family life. (A This they owed to her, as a woman, as pp a la wife, as a lady ; and they also owed to the wisdom , to the discretion, and to th. neit-eoutrui, use.) she had conducted herself through the difficulties which had •arisen through her reign, that whatever governments or whatever politicians had gone down the Queen had herself always risen. (Applause.) She had risen, she was rising still, and he believed she would continue to rise to the end. (Renewed applause.) But it was not these principles alone which excited a Catholic's loyalty, for, in addition to all these reasons for loyalty and respect, which sprang from sentiment, the Ca tholic had this fur ther principle—the one which sprang from that higher principle, w hi c h was represented by t he So vereign Pontiff ; and that was , the s p irit by which they were commanded to fe ar God, and by which they were further comman ded to obe y the powers that be. As loyal and devout Ca tholics, he called upon them to drink " The Health of their beloved Sovereign the Queen." The toast was drunk with as much enthusiasm as that with which the health of the Pope was received.

EPSOM, WEDNESDAY, May 22. The Derby clay iu 1867 will long be remembered by all turfinen, not only by reason of the astounding vicissitudes in the betting, but for the triumph of "poor Hermit," as he was derisively called only a few days since, when his chance seemed forlorn indeed. The air on the Downs from noon was at times piercingly raw and cold, and the holi day makers were suggestively silent by the time they reached Epsom. In fact, the "third winter" evidently froze the general current of gaiety. Beyond all doubt the Derby day of this year, as far as company was concerned, was the most dull and dispiriting on record, and the forest of umbrellas that cropped up in every direction showed that the visitors had sensibly come prepared for the worst. .Spectators who stood about for any time got fairly chilled, and in the saddling paddock those waiting the arrival of the favourite; buffeted their hands for warmth, and thus accelerated the circulation of their blood. The first race, the Bentinck Plate, as usual, like the opening piece on Boxing -night, was almost totally disregarded, and was won after a desperate finish by a head. The Derby was set for three o'clock, therebeing no fewer than 30 starters, but No. 9, "poor Plaudit," was scratched at 10 23, and his place was taken conveniently by Distin, who was the only one not inserted in Dorliug's list of probable runners. The crowd in the saddling paddock was by no means so large as on many previous occasions, and, as usual, all thoughts seemed concentrated upon the great favourites. Vauban, Uncas, and Distin were paraded with young John Day and several other Danebury attaches at their sides, monopolising almost all the attention of the spectators Hermit, who was by himself, was almost entirely disregarded, and seemed to shiver witb the cold. A few people asked "What's that 2" and when in formed it was -Hermit conterapi uously observed " !" and passed on. Though the majority of the public entirely overlooked the Hermit, Captain Machell (Mr. Chaplin's confederate) was quietly giving instructions to Daley, who was "put on" by Captain Machell £3OO if he were one of the first three, and £3,000 if he won, to which Mr. Chap lin added £6,000, making in the whole £9,000. In the paddock nothing looked better than Tho Palmer, Vauban, Fitz-Ivan, and Van ' Amburgh. The - 'Palmer was in superb condition. His party were wonderfully sanguine, and such was the favour for the horse that when Wells took off his top-coat and displayed the cherry satin be was greeted with immense cheering, an incidert quite unusual at Epsom. Many persons were present in the enclosure for the express purpose of inspecting the fallen Rake, but he was not in the paddock, being saddled and mounted near Sherwood's cottage. Marksman also was saddled elsewhere. Thirty horses went to the post, precisely the same number as in Gladiateur's and Blair Athol's years, and four more than in the past anniversary, when Lord Lyon was victorious. As uspal, - whiledhe animals were "under orders" great excitement 'was manifested, and' tile Treliminary t canters were watched with . extraordinary Curiosity, the style' in which !the It'ractive chestnut Marksman galloped and the bright coats of Vauban and The Palmer eliciting general admiration, while Hermit was almost unobserved, so totally had the public mind become alienated from him by the recent market opera tions. When the lot got to the post three-quarters of an hour elapsed before they were despatched on their event ful journey, but the interest attaching to the actual start was considerably marred by the delay and the biting wind, sleet, and snow which swept over the downs. There were at least half a score of false starts and these were in some degree caused by the fractiousness of D'Estournel, who exhibited some of the wild freaks of Tambour Major a few years ago, despite the reports of his improved temper. In the meantime the spectators were becoming so accustomed to the false starts that they were scarcely prepared for the tremendous shout of "They're off," and the familiar clanking of the starting bell. From the second tremendous shout which followed it was evident that some favourite had been left at the post, and in an instant the animal was recognised in the now notorious D'Estournel, who reared up on his hind leg; and the moment the flag was lowered darted off in an entirely opposite direction, and actually attacked the people who were on the rails next the post. The race in its changes is fully described below. Approaching Tatteuham Corner The Rake and The Palmer looked for midable, but when they had made the turn they both died away, and, being closed in upon, their chances of success were hopeless. From the distance only Vauban, Marks man, Hermit, and Vam Amburgh appeared in the struggle, and loud cheers were raised when Marksman was seen on the " Thormanby" side of the course. On breasting the hill Vauban was beaten, and Hermit won after a game and determined race. Grimshaw evidently acting up to the letter of his instructions, which were not to move upon his horse, which ho rode with consummate patience and fine judgment. Hermit, who held his place between Vauban and Marksman, was brought out with great judgment, and ridden throughout with wonderful patience by J. Daley. Fordham's ill-luck in the great three-year-old races did not desert him on the present occasion, for he only got third ; and The Rake, whose recent accident is so well known, finished tenth. Julius was never formidable after leaving the furzes. The winner had been one of the favourites until Monday week, when he was reported to have been tried with Mr. Chaplin's recent purchase, Rama, and to have been not only worsted, but, like The Rake, to have broken a blood vessel. He was then knocked out. To-day his owner, Mr. Chaplin, accepted 1,000 to 15, and his confederate, Captain Machell, backed him to win £lO,OOO. Mr. Chaplin is said to have won £140,000, and Captain Machell £63,000. Mr. Chaplin also wins the leviathan bet of £50,000 that The Hermit would beat The Palmer the first time they met, and £lO,OOO that Hermit beat Marksman. Sir Joseph Hawley hedged the Hermit bet a few weeks ago. It is worthy of note that Custauco resigned his claim upon Hermit to ride The Rake, who has turned out a great impostor. Thus ended one of the most sensational Derbys on record. Though the majority of the public entirely overlooked the knocked-out favourite, Captain M (Mi. Chapli n ' s ' con f e d era t e ) was qu i e tly giving acbe instructions ii to Johnny Daley, who is one of the most respectable jockeys of the day, and is well known as Baron Rothschild's second horseman, and was put on by Captain Machell, £3OO if ho wero one of the first three, and £3,000 if he won, to which Mt. Chaplin added £5,000, making in the whole £B,OOO. The Bentinck Plate of 100 soya (Handicap) ; winners of any race after May 16 (at ton a.m.) 51b extra; three quarters of a mile.

Little or no time was lost in their preliminary canters, in which thoso most interested took exception to several of their favourites. The lot were marshalled down to the starting post by the veteran Starling, who delivered them in something like order into the custody of Mr. M'George. Upwards of an hour was lost before he could get them together, breaks away appa rently being the order of the day. At last the patience of the spectators, the more sorely tried by several heavy showers, was rewarded by the welcome cry of " They're off," and immediately after Julius on the extreme right of his horses, was observed slightly in advance of Redbourno, Skysail, and Fitz Ivan, to whom succeeded Vauban, Marksman, Corporal, Van Anburgh, The Rake, and Her mit. The next division had for their leaders Wild Moor, Dwain Glyndwr, The Rescue, Tyndale, Man of Ross, Dragon, and The Palmer, the extreme rear being repre sented by Mr. Eastwood's pair, Taraban, the Amanda colt, and d'Estournel. The latter jumped round as the flag fell nd was left a long way in the real, which mishap was further increased by the brute's bolting out of the course. During this contretemps the leaders held their way through the furzes, but as they entered the old course Redbourne dropped away from the front, and his place was then taken by Skysail, who proceeded along the brow of the hill to the mile-post, at the girths of the Duke of Newcastle's colt, the pair being upwards of three lengths in ad vance of Vauban, on whose right were seen the colours of Wild Moor, Tynedale, Marksman, and The Rescue, and on the inside followed The Palmer, Hermit, and The Rake, the rear rank oven at this early period having taken open order. Descending the bill for Tattenham-corner Julius was beaten, and Fordham isdulged the favourite with a a pull, which for a brief period gave to the race an open V a p a p tr A ni m n b c t e ; g a h n , d t h l o e t with his stable companion Tynedale, showed pr ominentl y p up alm M e a r rsm , k wril a d n m on oo h r i i s a ri nd gh T t, he w c ho o , rp w o i ra th l in advance. At tho road Vauban was soon clear of his horses, when his success was loudly _proclaimed from the stands, but immediately after Fordham was - seen to 'be hard upon his horse, and as they neared the distance he was joined on the whip hand by Marksman, and on the lower ground by Van Amburgh, J. Daley at this period holding his horse in reserve to the enclosure. At this point Van Amburgh was disposed of, which let up Hermit, who joined issue with Vauban and Marksman at the Stand ; 119. re the favourite was completely run out, leaving Mr. Merry's colt in advance, but Daley, riding with great determination to the end, was just enabled to get up in the last stride,: and landed one of the most extreme outsiders a clever winner by a neck. Marksman, who ran a thoroughly game horse throughout, finished upviards of five lengths in advance of Vauban. Wild Moor was fourth, Van Am burgh fifth, Owain Glendwyr sixth, Tynedale seventh, The Palmer eighth, and The Corporal next. At the head of the next division, pulling up, were, headed by the Rake, Leases, Julius, and Gipsy King, to whom succeeded, at wide distances, The Rescue, Grand Cross, and Roquefort, the last throe being Ben Nevis, the Amanda colt, and „Distin.

As betting and gambling are not among the sins I have a mind to, it may be natural to ask, What on earth could take me to the Derby? The answer is not far to be sought. lam fond of all amuse ments in the open air. I like my fellow-creatures, and am most happy in the midst of them, only on condition that I may have plenty of breathing and elbow room. My neighbour's pleasure is my plea sure, provided it be genuine and spring from the very heart and soul of those about me. Nothing is so intensely indigenous, so untranslatable as the Derby Day. Races there were in Greece and Rome. Races there are in Paris and Buda; but the Eng lish race, like the English oak, is a plant of slow growth. It has roots in the heart's core of high and low. • A day out with half a million of Lon don gipsies encamped on Epsom Downs is some thing that passeth the Frenchman's and even the Hungarian's understanding. My friend's horses and my friend's money are nothing to me ; but John Bull's holiday comes only once a year, and I almost feel as if he could hardly enjoy it unless I am there to see. And, pray, how do you go to the Derby ? In a Hansom cab, to be sure. Was it not I who first set the fashion of doing the thing in that style, ever so many years ago, when the first specimens of that fast and sure vehicle enlivened the London streets —years before people dreamt that railway trains could enable them to eat their cake and keep it, to halve their time between business iu London and pleasure at Epsom, as if the first . er, ■
