THIRD READING. Ileff's Estate Bill was read a third time and passed. THE SECOND SECRETARY OF THE • ADMIRALTY. The Earl of HARD W ICKE said he begged to put a question to the noble lord opposite, but he did not care whether he answered it or not, as it was merely for the ` 7 , purpose of hanging a remark ripen. He haw, by the newspapers, that Mr. Phion had been appointed to snc . %i ,ceed Admiral Hamilteni as Second Secretary of the Admiralty. On referring to "Dodd," he found that ten , . -Phinn was a barrister, and member for Bath ; that he was highly educated at Oxford, and• was a ..Liberal, and in favour of the ballot, &c., &c. Now, he (the Earl Of Hardwicke) thought that great public inconvenience would arise in consequence of the appointment of a civilian to an office that bad been held by a naval officer. (Hear, bear.) The Second Secretary of the Admiralty bad hitherto been looked upon as irremovable. It would be a great in convenience also if the present appointment were made a political one and renio :aile by a change of Govern ment. He wished to know whether the statement he h ;.4 referred to was true or not ? Earl GRANVILLE said that the fact was perfect'y true that Mr. Peine had been appointed. The fact was that the appaintment of a naval eificer to that situation was an exception, and not the rule. Mr. Barrow, who had occupied that po:ition for 30 years, was not a naval officer. The great qualification was that of an highly educated lawyer In a t'we of war highly useful, and such he believed Mr. PArin to be. The Earl of ELLENBOUOUGII saw the appoint - ment of Mr. Phinu wichregret, because the public thereby lcist the cervices of Admiral Hamilton. He objected to the appointment of a civilian. It might have been the exception to appoint a naval officer to the situation reffrred to, but he thought that it should be made the rule, and not the exception. After some further cot versatioa ' in which the Earl of Hardwicke, Earl Granville, and Lord Colchester took part, the sub ject ciro Ted. ALTERATION OF PLEADINGS BILL.

The noble lord also alluded to the state of the law with respect to the definition of a newspaper, and to the enlargement of the definition which took place in 1819, and ine:uded pamphlets and other printed matter.

NOTICE OF MOTION. Mr. HEATUCOTE gave notice that when his hon. friend the member for Portsm o uth b roug h t f orwar d hi s mit ion, he should move as an amendment that after the words "termination of hostilities" the following words shou:d be inserted :—" Still cherishing the desire that the communications in progress may arrive at a success ful issue." (Hear, hear.) ADMISSION OF JEWS INTO PARLIAMENT. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the First Lord of the Treasury if it was his intention to bring in any bill dur ing the present ses§ion to enable Jews to Pit in Pa.rlia meat ; also, on what day the long-promised bill for the reform of the Corporation of the City of London would be introduced ? Lord PALIVIERSTON replied that there was no in tention on the part of the Government at present to pro pose any measure of the kind indicated in the questions of the hon. member. THE WALLACHIAN AND MOLDAVIAN PRINCIPALITIES. Mr. OTWAY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it was true that the people of the "principalit ies of Wallachia and Moldavia had been subjected to mar tial law by the authorities of Austria ; and, if so, whether that step b a d b een t a k en w i t h le previous know ledge and concurrence of her Majesty's Govern ment ; also, this subject whether any communications bad passed on subject between her Majesty's Government and the Austrian Government, or any of its agents, and, if nob so, whethe r the noble lord had any objection to lay such communicati ons on the of the house ? Lord PALMERS officer replied that it was true that the gene ra l oft ommanding the Austrian troops had proclaimed martialand that Lord West moreland inquired i n t o the matteriiaa and found the case to be as he (Lord Palmerston)ve such stated. extracts H e from was not th e Dive awa re of any objection to jest, as which had taken place on_the sulect, as would afford tha hon. member the information he sought. MILITARY EDUC L TREATION IN ...A.DERSHOTT. CAMP AT r. E WART inquired of the Under s ecretary for A r War wheth_er any programme would he laid before the of military education, practical as scribed for the tro()p.; in public of the, sort h t* • especially, whether it well as theoretical, to be pre give them instruction in details the encampment at Alders . o . , wauld be endeavoured to gi connected with hotting, food, fire, discovery of supplie s of water, and o th e r practical ma tters fitted to increase their re sources an d exerc i se their intelligence a s soldiers ? Mr. F. PEE L said no progr am me in detail of the sort of military education which would be afforded to the troops in the camp referred to would bebefore the laidcam ppuVic. Pe nti gilt state, in force however that the militia w ould , = have the full b enef i t I f the educational system in the army. choola would be established, and: chap ' laing would he appointed to take the spiritual charge of the nice, In a practical Leuse the discipline which was pursued with regard to the army would be extended to the militia. (Hear.) CRIMEAN MEDALS. In reply to Admiral WALCOTT, Sir C. WOOD said it was always a great object to cultivate the best feelings between the marina and sol diers. With regard to the position it was considered best to draw them up on the side of the square most convenient for the purpose. THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR. Mr. DISRAELI then rose and said—There was great distrust with regard to the Government. It wa3 im possible for him, entertaining the opinions he did, so long as negotiations were obviously going on, that it would not be prudent to discuss those propositions be- fore the conference had terminated. At last the proto- cols were presented, and, after an unusual period, published ; and in place of the anticipated occa sion of the Minister following precedents and taking the earliest opportunity of asking the opinion of Parliament, or of laying before the house what the Government intended to do—(hear, hear)—with respect t) this great question of peace or war, they were now without the knowledge which the house required. He more than once asked them to take that course, and he confessed he did feel that the First Minister of the Crown would have done his duty more satisfactorily to his Sovereign, to the house, and to the country if he had stated in what condition these negotiations were. Well, he was disap pointed ; and then he felt constrained to bring forward the motion which he intended to lay before the house. He never for one moment supposed that discussion would not take place. No objection was made on the part of the Government when the notice of motion was made. (Hear, hear.) True it was the hon. member for Manchester had not the power of commanding a day on which to bring it forward, but the magnitude of the question, the feeling of the people of England, and that sense of propriety which he supposed still influenced a Queen's Minister and the leader of the house, a day was appointed for its discussion. On the day appointed Parliament assembled, the house was more than usually full, and the whole attention of the nation on the House of Commons, believing that at last, after a dreary, dreary interval of lassitude, the house was going to give some signs of Par liamentary duty and life, to the great surprise of the house, and of many persons not in the secret--(hear)— a secret that was well kept—the expectation of Parlia ment.,and the country, and he might say the expectation of almost all Europe was baulked, there being no chance of that discussion taking'' place— (hear, hear)—and on one of the most momentous 'transac tions-that had occurred in this country since . the year 1815. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to de scribe the occurrence -of Monday night, with reference to the . withdrawal of Mr. Gibson's motion, but whether he and the noble ford who was -to have seconded the motion, actuated by political or social influences _ on, in pursuing the course , they did, -he could not pretend ta. sty. - Finding they were by thOse proceedings to have no .debate on this question before the Whitsun holidays, and influenced by the same conviction he now had on the subject, and looking at the conduct of her Majesty's Ministers with the utmost susPiclon and dis trust on this question of peace or war, and which, if not vigilantly watched and carefully controlled, might lead to consequences most perilous to the honour and interests of the countryhe felt it his duty to give notice of this motion. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to say -that if it were attempted not to limit the issue to that expressed in the resolution, but to involve the question of a vote of confidence or censure on the part of the Government, he was free from the imputation of its being a hasty notice. The Government and hon. members were aware of it as soon as he had formed the intention of making it, it having arisen on his part from the circumstances of the house. He should be ashamed to take any ministry by surprise, but not having any confidence in the Go vernment hardly on any one subject—(hear, and a laugh) —and feeling it was a moment in which it was not improper to ask the opinion of the house on this subject. (Hear.) He thought the conduct of the Government with reference to the conductnf the war bad been uncer tain and their language ambiguous, which had been occa sioned, as he would endeavour to point out, by a pecu liar combination of circumstances ; and should the house be of his opinion, he hoped they would join him in arresting a course of policy which he thought the most injurnus to the country—(hear)—and he also pro posed to ask them when uncertainty Was so prevalent, and ambiguity so rife, that they would in a manner that could not be mistaken, declare to the country, that with regard to the war the opinions of the house were not changed, and that their spirit was not daunted, and that whilst they disapproved of the language used by and the conduct of the Ministry, they will, by their vote, destroy what was the cause of their ambiguity of language and uncertainty of conduct, and that they were ready to carry on the war until its great object was secured and an honourable peace obtained. With these views he should try to obtain a clear and precise 1 opinion from the house ; and also, if possible, but with less hope, from her Majesty's Ministers. (Cheers.) The hon. gentlemen then referred to a remark that had been made, that he had acted in concert with the hon. member for Aylesbury in order to bring this motion forwari, and assured the house he had no communication with that honourable member on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Now it so happened that he did not meet the hon. gen tleman. (Hear.) He stated that because he did net think there was any impropriety on his part in communi cating with the hon. member, and he trusted that as long as he was a member of Parliament he should always be found to adopt the course he had hitherto done, of being open and candid on every question, and stating his opinions to his opponents as well as his supporters. (Hear, hear.) He had known the hon. gentleman from his childhood, and it was his firm belief that the hon. gentleman had made for himself a reputation that would outlive all the prejudice's that bad been raised against him. (Hear, hear.) He would not have made these observations had he not within the last few mil:rites heard that the hon. gentleman intended to vote against his motion. (Hear, hear.) If he did so, he trusted—nay, he was sure— that if he adopted that course, he would not do so until he heard the arguments for and against it. (Hear, bear.) The man that could adopt any other course would be a bold and shameless one—(hear)—and one that ought to be scouteloutef all civilised society. (Hear.) Now,thecri ticisms that be intended to bring before the house to-night were not of ancient but recent date. He would begin with the installation of the noble viscount opposite into office —(laughter)—a most glorious epoch certainly in this country. (Cheers.) He was the man, it was said, for the occasion. (Laughter.) He was the man of the people—(laughter)—backed by the people to uphold a fallen State. (Laughter.) Welt, what had the noble viscount done ? (Hear, hear.) Why, he had followed the footsteps of his predecessor, and the result 'of all the conferences that had taken place would clearly show it. For the truth of this need he do more than refer to the different protocols that had been laid on the table of the house. Looking at them, he would ask the house whether the noble lord had made one step in what was called the right direction ? Well the protocols were laid on the table, and the noble lord did not fulfil his duty in moving an address to the Sovereign upon them, but left it to another to set the example. The motion was on the table, and if that mo tion meant anything it meant disapprobation of the con duct of our plenipotentiary, it meant, as it said, that the conditions of peace were reasonable, andthat the ,e condi tions might have been accepted. This led him for a moment to go back to the critical period when the noble lord (Lord John Russel!) was placed in office, for upon his appointment and the conduct of the noble lord depended much, in his opinion, the amount of suspicion, distrust, and dissa tisfaction which prevailed in this country. That appointment did not appear to have been a very happy one. (Laughter.) Of late years he knew nothing of which the noble lord—so distinguished in everything he undertook—had been more distinguished than by his denunciation of the power and ambition of Russia—(loud cheers)—and it was to the noble lord's speeches that in his (Mr. Disraeli's) opinion might be traced much of the great desire in the public mind to have a decisive struggle with that colossal country. (Hear, bear.) After receiving his appointment the noble lord addressed, he might say, a very inflammatory harangue in favour of the war being undertaken in an unhesitating spirit. (Loud cheers.) He referred to this in order to show, as he could show, that the sub sequent conduct of the noble lord'had been characterised with much uncertainty. (Hear, hear.) (LEFT SPEAKING.) AI OFFICIAL DESPATCH PROM FIELD- MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN. ( Prom a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) IN T AB , -DEPARTMENT, MAY 24. Lord Panrnure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to hi s lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. My Lord Befor e S e b astopol, May 12, 1855. or,—l do myself the honour to acquaint your lordship that General de la Marmora with a portion of the Sardinian Contingent, arrived off Balaklava on the night of the Bth instant, ters the following morning and he came up to head-quar . The very unfavourable state o f the weather since the THE SUN, LONDON, TIIVIISDAY EVENING, MAY 24 1855, 9th has prevented any material part of the force being lauded ; and it has been found necessary to send the vessels that brought it, and which could not be got into the harbour, to Kazatch Bay, until it should mo derate. Five troops of the 121 h Lancers landed on the 9th from the Himalaya, which performed the voyage from Alexandria to Balaklava in ninety-four hours. The enemy made two serious assaults upon our moat advanced parallel of the right attack on the night of the 9th, but were on each occasion most nobly met and re pulsed with considerable loss. The arrangements of Colonel Trollope, who had charge of the right attack, and Lieut.-Col. Mundy, the Field Officer of the trenches, were most judicious ; and Capt. Turner, of the Royal Fusiliers, and Capt. Jordan, of the 34th Regiment, are reported to have done their duty in the most gallant manner. They opened a powerful fire on our trenches on the following night, and exposed their columns to a heavy musketry fire from the troops on duty. They did not, however, reach the parapets, nor indeed come very near them. Last night a very determined sortie was made upon the advance of our left attack. The enemy moved forward in two columns from the Woron zow-road. Our advanced sentries having slowly retired, the guard of the trenches was prepared to receive them, and consequently drove them back in the most determined manner. A few Russians only got into the parallel, and five were left dead close out side. The conduct of both officers and men was admirable, and it is with deep concern that I have to report the delth of Capt. Edwards, of the 68th Foot, and that of five men. _ _ I tiave also the pain of saying, that the wounded amounted to thirty. Owing to the great quantity of rain which has fallen during the last few days, the service in the trenches has again been most arduous and severe upon our men, who deserve all praise for their energy and untiring perse verance. I enclose the returns of casualties to the 10th inst. I have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. Enclosure 1. RETURN OF CASUALTIES FROM THE 7TH TO THE 10TH MAY, 1835, INCLUSIVE.

(Rpoin the Times of this day. ) What has happened to the House of Commons? To what purpose were all its faculties given to it ? It has power which it uses to do nothing, speech which it em ploys to perplex, counsel and influence which it seems determined to throw into no scale and to devote to no practical purpose. We are living in no ordinary times, we are pressed by great emergencies, we are terrified by impending dangers, we have nobody to trust, nobody to look up to, nothing but the palladium of our liberties, the glory of our land, the cynosure of our institutions this very same incomprehensible House of Commons. Out of the immediate sphere of government and legisla tion people seem to understand themselves and each other, and to be tolerably unanimous on the questions of the day. Once within those walls nobody seems to be able to make up his mind to do anything, or to say any thing distinctly and to the purpose. Nothing can exceed the degree in which the Legisla ture and the people are at cross-purposes, or the amount of contradiction between us and our representatives. Everybody out of doors seems to have made up his mind that the pcssibility of peace with Russia is, for the pre sent, and until the fortune of war has decided more olearly on one side or the other, absolutely impossible ; that Russia merely appeared at the Conferences of Vienna for the purpose of ostentatiously agreeing to conditions which might secure to her the neutrality of Germany ; and that, having done so, she was careless as to the pre cise form or method in which she put an end to a Con ference which had sufficiently answered the purpose for which she entered into it. This being the opinion of people in ge ieral, Mr. Milner Gibson considers it to af ford a suitable opportunity for moving an address to the Crown, stating that there was a reasonable expectation that the negotiations would have had a successful issue, characterisingthe cause of their ill-success as nothing but a difference between the Allied Powers and Russia as to the precise mode of practically applying the principles agreed upon, and expressing an opinion that an honourable and satisfactory peace can be made out of the propositions put forward by Russia at the Congress of Vienna. In no other assembly but a meeting of the Peace Society should such a proposition have been put forward ; but Mr. Gibson thought the House of Commons suitable for such a purpose, and so he made his proposal there. The proposal being made, everybody felt glad that the long silence of the Legislature on the proper conditions of peace was at length about to be broken, and that Go vernment and the country would have in the ensuing debate something which might serve for a guide to their future conduct. Never was a debate more looked for by the public ; never, we suppose, was one more eagerly desired by the House of Commons. But the same in scrutable perversity prevailed. The house met, and, after a discussion of a highly histrionic character, in :which'. almost every speaker, though apparently from motives the most diverse, urged that the motion should not come on, the motion was dropt, and the house and the audience went away like Newman, the Syrian, in a rage. Thonsext act is similar to the two which preceded it. Mr. .israeli, seeing the disgust with which the house vie weciVthe withdrawal of Mr. Gibson's motion, promised to give its feelings free expression, and to let loose the pent-up floodgates of its displeasure. The house received the proposal with manifest favour, for the house w ished for the opportunity, of which the withdrawal of Mr. Gibson's motion had deprived it, to express its opinion on the negotiations of Vienna and the terms on which alone peace should be granted. But Mr. Disraeli's ob ject was evidently not to express the feelings of the house;' but rather to frame - something` calculated to da mage his political antagonists, and, if possible, to bring him and his party into office totally unpledged, and at full liberty to imitate the conduct he condemns. So Mr. Disraeli proposes to censure the Government for its am biguous and uncertain conduct, and to assure her Majesty that, under these circumstances—that is, the ambiguous and uncertain conduct, we suppose—Parlia ment is ready to give her Majesty every assistance to wards the vigorous prosecution of the war. Never was an important opportunity marked by a more inadequate and unfortunate conclusion. One might suppose, to borrow Mr. Disraeli's own allusion the other day, that these halting and ill-connected sentences had been con structed by him purposely to show that he was acting under the dictation of a party, and not under the promptings of his own judgment. If ,the declarations of the Ministry with regard to the war are ambiguous or uncertain, that is a reason fsr de manding from them plain and unambiguous declarations. The House has a right to know the opinions and inten tions of our Ministers ; and whoever substitutes empty professions of our intention vigorously to prosecute the war—declarations which cost nothing and mean nothing —is merely misleading the House, and turning it aside from the true merits of the question. So we suppose the House of Commons will be engaged to-day in considering whether the language of Ministers has or has not been uncertain or ambiguous, in weighing the penods of Lord Palmerston, and ascertaining whether they are suscep tible of more meanings than one, instead of looking to the real and only question at issue—whether the House of Commons is satisfied to trust the conduct of the war, without further explanation, in the hands in which it is at present reposed. It would almost seem as if Mr. Disraeli shrank from the possibility of his own success, and was afraid to put his motion, as we thick ho easily might, in a form which would have conciliated the support of the House of Commons. It was easy for him to frame it in a shape which would have secured to him the support of a large majority of Liberal members, but then he could have only clone this by marking out a definite line of policy for himself on the subject of peace and war, and thus hampering his acces sion to office by pledges materially fettering his freedom of action. Pother than do this Mr. Disraeli has pre ferred to leave Parliament to decide on a comparison of his personal merits and those of his party with the merits of the present Government, and thus to narrow down the question of national policy to the dimensions of a struggle between two rival factions. Never was a purely personal and partisan movement more ill-timed ; never was the conflict between the Legislature and the people more manifest and more injudicious. The nation is iritent on the choice between Peace and War, and Parliament, it seems, can think of nothing but the division between Whigs and Tories. Tho nation believes that it has a Cabinet in which the advo cates of national disgrace outnumber the champions of national honour. Parliament is not called upon to put an end to this dangerous state of things, but only to censure proceedings not more than usually uncertain, and language not more than ordinarily ambiguous. Nothing would become the House of Commons better than to lay down fixed and certain principles fur its own guidance and that of the Government ; but, at the present time, nothing would become it less than to turn out one set of men with whose opinions it is not satisfied, in order to admit another as little disposed to give information about theirs. It became the Hou- , e of Commons, in this emergency, to vindicate for itself a higher part than that of serving as an instrument of con tending factions. In the present state of men's minds, it matters comparatively little under what name the go vernment of the nation is carried on, but it.is of un speakable importance to avoid an ignominious pearls, or negotiations founded on derogatory conditions, which serve only to give confidence to our enemies, and to shake the spirits of our friends and allies. Anglo-Saxon mind as though such things as trenches and Lancaster guns, and saps, and ravelins, and fascines, and gabions existed not. If the Russians had come in upon us in our happy little island yesterday we should have presented a grander spectacle than those old Romans we used to read about in our schoolboys who received the Gauls in full state, sitting upon curule chairs, and holding sceptres in their hands. They would have found universal England upon Epsom-do w ns, cheering and shouting, and filling up beakers of champagne for beauty's lips, thimble-rigging slightly, and betting ex tensively --was it not the Derby d a y ? Yesterday we re ally could not be bothered with the Four Points. We were taking our ease and disporting ourselves—it was a time of decided truce. The Derby day turned out a memorable one in the Fasti of Epsom. We do not shrink from recording the fact in columns usually dedi cated to more important sabjects, for one might be per mitted to accept the event as an omen. A horse—Wild Dayrell is the excellent creature's name—the property of a gentleman not upon the turf, trained by his own groom, not by a professional trainer, and ridden by a jockey not a professional jockey, has actually been de clared senior wrangler in the great horse tripos. No one who has not been initiated in the foul mysteries of the turf, or who has not been indoctrinated by an adept, can have any idea of the difficulties with which an un fortunate quadruped has to contend which is galloping for high honours. It is actually necessary to surround him with detective officers and policemen for weeks, almost for months, before the day of the struggle, to see that some atrocious trick is not played by your own familial' grooms—by the very men on whom you chiefly relied. Now he meets with a stable accident—now he springs a sinew while taking his breathing gallops—now he falls sick of some mysterious internal disease which baffles the skill of the horse faculty. The commonest, perhaps, of these acts of rascality is to mix up ground glass in the favourite's oats, which modification in his diet is anything but calculated to promote equine digestion. Wild Dayrell had run the gauntlet of all these little playful projects, and by intense vigilance had been brought safely through. Grievous was the dismay of the practical diplomatists of Epsom-downs when they saw him yesterday emerge from his stable in the finest pos sible condition, and canter up to the starting-post. The history of the race will be found elsewhere in our columns to-day ; suffice it here to say that Wild Dayrell made very fair weather of it indeed, and easily beat his antagonist- , . Let us recommend the point to the meditation of our First Minister and his Austrian friends, and more especially to the careful consideration of the Chancery at St. Petersburg. There are Wild Dayrells elsewhere than on the racecourse of Epsons. Chicane and trickery do not in the long run prevail, whatever may be the opinion of professional jockeys cr of professional states men. We take it that the English people just now may be fairly represented by the winner of the Derby yester day. Many a trick has been tried upon 'us, many an overweight has been placed upon our backs, many a pinch of ground glass has been slyly introduced into our comfortable feeds, at w hich we so confidingly champed in the unsuspicioustse'ss of our hearts. We lay down in our owl; loose box, 'amid our own grooms, and fondly supposed, that our, attendants, who were so highly paid for rubbing us down,‘promoting our little comforts, and attending to our interests, would stand between us and all harm. The reverse of all this has turned out to be the fact. Wild Dayrell, however, is sick of professional jockeys, and " calculates" that if any one will fairly sit him, and give him his head, ho is ahle to give a good account.of himself as against his competitors. We have no doubt that in the long run Wild Dayrell will kick himself free, and juOify:the .expectations of his original. backers. THE CIVIL SERVICE. (Front the Times of this day.) So' a beginning has been made, and the Civil Service, that great preserve of patronage, is to be invaded by ex amination ! That principle which in this country la bours under so many stigmas, which some call doctri naire, others Chinese, others French, others only an ad ditional cloak for jobbery, is to have a trial. The ordi nance has gone forth, and the names of the three incor ruptible judges are before the land. Before the awful forms of Ryan, Lefevre, and Romilly corruption, ignor ance, and incompetency are to quail and hide themselves. The gates of office are not, indeed, to be thrown open to the ambitious commonalty, to the students of the London University and its hundred affiliated colleges, or to any class at all ; the chiefs of office are still to nominate, still to prescribe the qualifications to be required, and even to appoint absolutely in some cases. But, at all events, this tremendous triumvirate; which has been so long impending over tbs realms of close patronage, is actually installed. With their secretary, and their as sistant-examiners, they constitute the nucleus of an official University. So there is an end of that firm belief lying at the foundation of British society, deeper than loyalty itself, that the British gentleman is fit for every thing, far any office, for all duties, for all kinds of emer gencies. It is an old, an honourable, and au ennobling sentiment. Sancho Panza himself did not repose a stronger confidence in his master than the British com monalty in the gentry. That honest, drudging, weatherbeaten, toilworn slave, the working class—ay, the middle class too of this country—of what does it think a real gentleman not capable ? Barring that a gentleman now and then makes a few mistakes in pe cuniary or in mechanical affairs—excepting, too, that a groom. may know more of horses, a builder of piece work, or a gardener of broccoli, the gentleman can at least fight a battle, govern a province, or help to make laws for an empire. It is true he may have to ask the name and locality of his province ; he may re quire much assistance from lawyers in making his laws, or from clerks in administering a public department, or from commissariat officers and such people in conducting a campaign ; but thenhs he not a gentlemen, and has he not within him 'that master faculty whereby he can speedily overcome all the difficulties of every position and every branch of knowledge Yet one trembles to think of the pressure to be thrown on three men, even aided as they will be by their staff of examiners. The only parallel that occurs to us is that of the Grenadier who seven years ago singly faced a rabble of some twenty thousand men pouring down Parliament-street, and roughly declined their offers of fraternisation. Perhaps the checktakers at the Opera or the Queen's servants at a Drawing room have occasionally to stand 'an equal current. How will the three commissioners deal with a mob in which Peers and M.P.'s constitute the least importunate part I Will they be trodden under foot, or be carried off their legs, or actually stein the torrent ? Somebody the other day, in order to try the force of the stream at the falls of Niagara, dropped a 40ib. plummet from a height of about 200 feet, and it 'would not sink a yard, but danced, lepior cortice, on the surface, at the distance of the line. Remember how Sir Robert Peel extinguished by ten timely words all the labours of the Railway Board, and restored the reign of chaos and Parliamentary committees ! How much easier for a saucy Premier to consign three examiners to hopeless insignificance ! The faintest curl of the lips, one word of cold praise, would do it effectually. The difficulty, indeed, will only arise on the supposition that the three men will be the men of savage virtue which the rigour of their office will require. It is far more pro bable that they will be too convenient to be discredited. Ail our chiefs have long ago declared thatthey want some body to sift applications, merely to thin them; they exceed the physical powers at command for their consideration ; they can only be treated as Mr. Roberts treated the offers of foreign legionaries—thrown a score .at a time into the basket. Here, then, is the first use of an ex amination board—simply as a sieve. The second we can only whisper, and we do so on the supposition that the three examiners aro the immortal abstractions— Brown, Jones, and. Robinson. Only suppose that Brown has a note, or a hint conveyed in five words, a wink, and • a smile, signifying that Young Such a-Oche, who is coming up to-morrow, is a very clever fellow in his way, worth a dozen bookworms, only his attention has been turned to other things ; that he has no taste for Euclid or Prepria quce lifaribus ; that he can learn any thing he pleases with proper inducemet ; that he is - rather shy s and awkward at first ; and that, in a word, if be should prove incompetent, somebody is prepared to take the responsibility. Already, in the order as it comes out, anybody with the recommendation of a ina ture age may beappointed without examination on special grounds. How long will promising young men ,be ex cluded from the benefit of specialities ? One important question we beg to ask, not of her Majesty's ministers, but of the three commissioners, and of course we must wait some time for a reply,—ls the examination to he public ? It is rather strange that those two much abused "close" institutions of Oxford and Cambridge should be the only places in this country that can afford the bold and manly practice of public examinations. There is nothing like absolute publicity for securing that an examination shall be no sham. Any London merchant, any Manchester reformer ' any young lady, any ploughboy, may walk into the gallery of the examination schools at Oxford, and hear an earl exa mined, not only in Greek and Latin, in history, in philo sophy, in mathematics, but in the Bible, and on other subjects within the common apprehension. He etands up face to face with three or four men, who with their books before them, ask him the toughest questions they can, genefally with a prevailing wish to prove they know a great deal more than he does. There is no collusion, no favour, not even mercy there—often not even a gen tiemanly consideration for nervot!sness. This is a true ordeal, and there is no escaping it. Be the matter of the examination ev er so ill se l ec t e d, and the teaching ever so indifferent, a man must learn a good deal to pass, and he must have it actually in his head, and in a producible form. So long as the universities retain public exami nations they will turn out public men who can stand be fore a-table, and hold their ground against all the world. We are not insisting on so hard a measure for the tender young candidates for tho Civil Service, but feel some curiosity about' the matter. At all events, it will afford almost the only possible protection against the delicate but irresistable interference of power. Public examiners cannot pass Young Noodle, even if they are inclined. They are too closely watched by the friends of Young Doodle, who will insist on equal measure. So much for this hint. Valcat quantum.

SPORTING NOTES. AN OPINION ON THE OAKS. I shall not no w attempt to enter into any particulars of the great race yesterday. All that is important and all that the reader will require to know has been faith fully set forth by the recognised turf reporter. - Wild Dayrell's achievement is gratifying to all persons in terested in the popularity of the turf, for it shows how sinister were the lying reports circulated with reference to the horse and jockey, and that the race was honestly run and honestly won. As to the scratching system which was adopted, I shall reserve my remarks. The guesses at truth published in The Sun of Monday last were strikingly Correct. They were as under : " With whatever Teeming accuracy calculations may be framed, it is impossible to reduce the result of the race to a certainty. On an impartial consideration, hawever, of the comparative chances, I am induced to believe that the winner will be either KINGSTOWN or WILD DAYRELL. Should this selection prove: unfortunate, then, OF THE ISLES, I TRUST IN THEE." " LORD Time presses me so sorely that I can only say, I fancy the first three for the Oaks will bo Nettle, Blooming Heather, and atpucine, my preference being indicated by the order in which I have written the horses' names. Should Fortune favour me as on Wednesday, my readers will doubtless be satisfied with the advice and guidance of A FRESH MAN. Tuesday Morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) Of course it was not to be expected that the noble and right honourable Peelites of the last Coalition who were present at the Cabinet dinner at Lord Palmerston's, on Saturday last, would stop short in their advice and sug gestions with the conclusion of that somewhat remark able festival. Nor was it to be anticipated that the Premier, who sacrificed so much of fame—whether ill gotten or well achieved matters little at the present mo ment—to force himself into office, would hesitate to go a little deeper to retain it. Accordingly the Peelite Pal merston of Saturday last evening in Piccadilly, who then and there profited by the councils of his colleagues at the banquet table, which were carried out vigorously by them in the House of Commons on Monday night in reference to the motion of Mr. Milner Gibson, has now once more become a pure Wkiig until Saturday next—until Mr. Disraeli's resolution shall have been discussed and de cided upon. Lord John Russell, we understand, has had not a little to do with the new pure Whig move. Toe noble lord has, as advised by his old and new friends, insti gated Sir F. Baring to place upon the paper of the House of Commons the following amendment to Mr. Disraeli's resolution : "That this house having seen with regret that the Con ferences of Vienna have not led to a termination of ho: tili ties, feels it to be a duty to declare that it will ceutinue to give every support to her ;Majesty in the prosecution of the war, until her Majesty shall, in conjunction with her allies, obtain for this country a safe and honourable mace." We pity poor Sir F. Baring ! Surely he should have had more sense than to have permitted himself to be made a cat's paw of in this instance, in order to afford the noble member for London the opportunity for mag niloquence as to his vast efforts at Vienna, and for the enunciation of a few well-worn whitey-brown constitu tional platitudes. Sir F. Baring has frequently enough been used to have acquired experience from the past. Does he not know that he is about to earn the indigna tion of the country by endeavouring to ward off, by an ill•directed side-wind, all expression of opinion by the representatives of the people upon that " ambiguous language" and that " uncertain conduct" which amongst all classes of society, and at every legally-constituted assembly of men of all shades of politics, met for the purpose of expressing their opinions upon recent and passing events, have been the themes for elaborate and eloquent condemnation I Is not Sir F. Baring conscious of the dissatisfaction to which we refer ? Does he not feel this dissatisfac tion himself ? And yet, we understand, he is about to move the amendment which we have printed above ! If so, we may well reiterate the assertion which for years has been ' ringing in the ears of the nation—that there is no length to which a pure Whig will not go to serve the family party. But what will the Peelites of the Palmerston Cabinet dinner of Saturday last—the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Aberdeen, Mr. S. Herbert, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Cardwell—what will they say to the new move ? What, if they advised it, notwithstanding their coalition with the Peace party? The idea is edifying and sugges tive. A double treachery ! The dodge is so becoming that it is well worth half a dozen words to recommend it to the consideration of our readers. THE DERBY FAVOURITE: (Fromm, limes of this day.) For one clay Sebastopol has been forgotten. For twenty four hours Mensehikoff and Gortschakoff and mote quol exit in , off" have passed aliay, from the THE DERBY DAY. The all-important event of the summer meeting on Epsom Downs is unquestionably the race for the Derby. Not to have seen this celebrated contest is, to the Lon doners generally an omission of a serious duty that few would choose to acknowledge ; many, indeed, make it a point to attend every year ; there are thousands of per sons who have never missed a Derby since they were able to enjoy the pleasures of the day, and these are not of the class of persons known under the comprehensive designation of ';sporting men," but steady citizens, fathers of families who never ventured a shilling on a race, but who hold it essential to the maintenance of our ancient institutions that they should show themseives at the Derby in garments adapted to the severity of the sum mer weather. The glory of Epsom has, however, been - palpably dimmed since the railroad has been 'opened. The scenes that formerly afforded ampleemployment for the de scriptive pen are rarely now to be witnessed on the road ; ~the dashing four-in-hands, the stylish barouches, and open carriages; the stage-coaches crammed. inside and out; thd laden vins and omnibuses rolling'lll` One continuous stream between Kennington-gate t and.Epaom ; the stop-; pages, collisions, and breaks•down that once formed the incidents of a trip to The Derby, have given place 'to a more orderly and systematic state of things. The great majority of visitors now avail themselves of the facility afforded by the railway to reach Epsom in half -an hour without trouble or annoyance, and the few vehicles still seen upon the road are mostly those of country residents of ,persons travelling in their gsvn-carriages. The Derby of 1855, althbugh - favoured by fine weather, his not been an improvement on its predeces sors either in the number or the respectability of its visitors. The railway carried down full freights from an early hour in the morning with the utmost regularity. and the racing amateurs mustered in undiminished strength in the Grand Stand and the Enclosure, but the general attendance was by no means so large as we have seen it on former occasions. There was a visible defici ency too in the muster of private carriages on the hill, and the attendance of ladies on the Grand Stand was rather limited. There can be no doubt that the war and its depressing influences have had their effect upon the Epsom meeting, and that the spirit which, under more propitious circum stances animated the multitudes who covered the Downs, had lost much of its jollity. Throughout the morning, and until after the great race, the sky was cloudy, and the air cold ; but as the afternoon wore on, the sun broke forth, and a lovely evening crowned the close of the day's amusement. Taken in a sporting point of view, this has been a most interesting Derby, owing to the uncertainty that prevailed in the best informed quarters respecting the result, or rather from the confidence with which different parties maintained the superiority of their respective horses. After various ups and downs in the scale of public estimation, the competition on the morning of the race lay almost entirely between Wild Dayrell and Lord of the Isles—the former having the advantage in the betting. The first race on the card—for the Carew Stakes—did not create any interest ; only two started ; the eager multitudes being wholly intent upon the great event of the day, for which twelve went to the Post. Wild Day rell, who is a large and powerful horse, had abundance of admirers, and his backers felt perfectly satisfied with his appearance and style of going ; kingstown appeared to be in the full bloom of condition ; and both Fiatterar and Lord of the Isles rose in favour with the best judges as they cantered past the Grand Stand. Soon after three o'clock the starter's flag was dropped, and the dozen for the Derby went away at the "first offer" with an excellent start. A full description of the race will be found below. The return• home in the evening was effected with ex treme regularity and expedition by the railway. We thought, as we beheld the immense masses of people conveyed along the line without the slightest confu sion, and with probably less inconvenience than many ladies experienced at her Majesty's Drawing-room, that some of our officials in the East, might, with advantage, have taken a lesson from the manage ment of the rail Way. Had the transit been in the hands of Government authorities, .either the engine would have broken down, or come to a dead stand from the want of coat or water, or the train would have been sent to Brighton instead of to. Epsom—or something would have gone wrong, so that half the passengers would have most probably been left to enjoy themselves for the night on Banstead Downs. The business of the meeting wag, as usual, most effi ciently conducted. The order an d promptitude with which the course was cleared testified not only to the excellence of the police arrangements, under Superin. tendent Hughes and Inspectors Beckerton and Langley, but also to the .propriety of conduct which characterised the vast masses of spectators. Messrs. C. Martin and Fuller Andrews did good service at the Grand Stand en closure, and the commissariat department was most sa tisfactorily supplied by Messrs. Jaquet and Woodruffe.

THE RACE. • _ _ After taking their preparatory canter along the straight they returned to the paddock, and were in due time called to the post by Mr. Hibburd, the starter. The din of tongues in the betting incloSure was gradually hushed, and a feverish anxiety everywhere prevailed. At the very first attempt the start was admirably effected, and the sudden burst of commingling shouts, "They're off !” was felt like an electric thrill by thousands of palpitat ing hearts. Flatterer jumped off with the lead, but had scarcely proceeded a hundred yards when Lord of the Isles went to the front, with Lord Alfred, Strood, 'Flatterer, Wiiri Dayrell, Kingstown, Cave Adullam, and Little Brownie clustering up; Dirk Hatteraick, Bylstone, and Courtenay lying off. At the Mil e Post, Kingstown obtained the lead, Wild Dayrell going on second, Lord of the Isles third, Lord Alfred fourth, and The Flatterer next. These posi tions were held to the distance, where Lord Alfred dropped back to the beaten horses, and in the next mo ment Wild Dayrell deprived Kingstown of the lead, and gallopped honaman easy winner by a length ; the second beating the third by a head ; bad fourth.
