Although Jews were excluded from seats in the Legislatur& by a mere accident—although the parties against whom the test was exclusively directed, have been, deliberately and advisedly, exonerated from its application—although repeated and decisive ma jorities of the House of Commons have affirmed the principle of permitting Tifitish citizens of all classes, without distinction of creed, to occupy the seats to which they may be chosen, either by the will of the Sovereign, the_fountain of honour, or by the suffrages of their fallow-citizens, they obstinately adhere to their former views, and follow the intolerant path which they some time since marked out for themselves. In their zea, for religion they insist that every Member of Parliament shall violate the Divine command, which forbids the taking of the LORD'S name in vain ! At present the frivolous, and we regret to be obliged to add, the impious form of swearing against the title of persons not in existence enforced. The Oath of Abjuration, as it is coat monly called, is directed against the issue of th person designated as the PRETENDER. That issue has long since failed. The Cardinal Yonx, or HENRY the Ninth, as he was styled by the de voted adherents of the House of STUART, was the last scion of the race ; and since his death the re tention of the form has been an impious mockery —on insult to the DEITY, who'delivered in thun ders and lightning on Sinai the sublime preczp: that His name should nckt be taken in vain ! But, say the opponents of the measure, we are quite ready to abolish the substance the oath. We only wish to retain the form. It serves, attho ugh unintentionally, to exclude a certain class fr their birthrights as British subjects. it is true that it leaves everything open to unconscientious per sons. Atheists or Mormons may come in ; but those who are most valued in all the private rela tions of life, who might efficiently and faithfully serve their country, and to whom we are but to. , happy to resort in any pecuniary emergency, an: outraged and insulted. They may administer— and the present Lord May;il . -OT L;ndon offers iii contestible evidence how well they eta administer --qm laws ; but they shall take no part in framing or a.mendirig tlaes3 very laws. We will still take advantage of the accident, and rather continue to insult the DEITY than refrain from insulting our Jewish fellow subjects. On this principle they acted last night, and the wise and statesman like measure was rejected by a majority of 32, notwithstanding the brilliant and convincie g arguments of the veteran Conservative, Lord LTNDHURST. We must confess that Lord Jonrr RUSSELL is the party chi e fly res p o nsible for the protract e d ezeiusio, from Parli amen t o f ou r Jewish fellow-citi zenS• Had he adopted the straightforward course of allowing the House of Commons to be the sob: judges of their own privileges—A point on which the hereditarybranchhas so strenuously.insisted— the matter would have been summarily disposed of and the vexed question for ever set at rest. There was a distinct precedent for such a course. In the case of Mr. PEASE the House accepted hi:, affirmation. And why ? Because the substance Sof the oath was complied with in a form binding on his conscience—although not in that prescribed by Parliament. But the Noble Lord. wanted to create an excitement from which he might derive considerable political capital. He there ''fore diverged from the straight and nar row path, and those whom he affected to take under his protection have ever since been the victims of his unfortunate decision. It is surely time that the chorea reprc• sentatives of tko §491i13 rotaca their footsteps, and remedy the unfortunate error into which they were betrayed. Their L)t dships have been tried in every way, an xi have continued insensible to all the milder E . ( ,sins of reasoning. Why then should Baron ROTHSCHILD not once more present himself at the table of the 'louse ?—again offer to take the ridicu ms oath, in that form which he declares and con si,ders to be most binding on his conscience, and be accepted as a duly qualified member ? This simple proceeding would smooth down every difficulty, and next Session the Bill, which was last night rejected by a majority of nearly three to two, would be unanimously carried. There is nothing but the political pedantry of the Noble Lord the Member of the City of London to prevent this consummation so devoutly to be wished for, namely, the unequivocal admission of our Jewish brethren to all their rights and privileges as British citizens. The King of NAPLES will have his own way, though at the risk of the pevle having theirs long enough at the very least to make short work with him. It would be an error, notwithstanding, to give him credit for " pluck." Courage he has none. A more dastardly craven, probably, does iiot exist. Louis XI., of France, was a coward. The difference between the two is—FERDINAND [I., of Naples, has no redeeming virtues—a tyrant, a faithless, lying, cruel, vindictive tyrant, steeped to the very lips in crime ; so far from -seeking a great end by vile means, all he does is vile, all his instruments are vile, and all his aims vile and despicable. Naples to him is nothing the welfare of any portion of his subjects nothing. Vain, irritable, and inhuman, he lives day by day for no other purpose than the gratification of his -,grant will. The morrow is removed from him— he cannot look so far—a judicial blindness is on him, his ears are alike shut to the voice of reason and the claims of humanity. His kingdom is given over to the police, and he wise and good rot in prison, or live in )erpetuil apprehension of the dungeon or the , caff.)ld. Never did absolutism show itself more Aideous—never tyrant existed more deservedly tated, and more thoroughly undeserving of pity, [t is hardly an exaggeration to say, the very , xistence of the wretch is a reproach to our lornmon humanity. France and England have much to answer for, If FERDINAND does not play the tyrant after so . evolting a fashion with.their cennivauce, he does o exclusively by their sufferance. If they did heir duty his . reign would be broit4bt to a '4peeiy 'erinination. No need to despatch an army for 4is dethronement—the apoearance of a French and English fleet in the Bay of Naples would serve the urn. His oppressed subjects would accept the. -spectacle as a signal to revolt, and once risen there vould be an end of FERDINAND, at all events in N.iples. The execrable horde of cut-throats who •xecute his behests would be too anxious to secure • heir own safety to be very careful of his. Aad urn elsewhere as he may none will confront him 'tilt exasperated enemies, and nothing will greet ',is eats but cries of " vengeance," from lips hoarse with whispering it. One has to go back tho declining empire of Rome to find a parallel 5o the wanton tyranny, the all-pervading, fretting, Ind incessant persecution which the Neapolitans 'aye had to endure at his bands. And yet, :mowing all this, France and England have suf- 'ered him to persevere—have contented them- ,elves with mild expostulations an 1 rose-water - hreats. Of course the tyrant has laughed them - o scorn. What else could have been expected ? it is the nature of such predatory animals to do The entrapped wolf will snap at his silly leliverers. The ignoble tyrant must hold in con empt those who hold him up. His instinct i'oreshadows his righteous doom, and gratitude he is incapable of. Matters appear, however, to be coming to a ,trisis. The Governments of France and E iglan 1 have recently, we are told, severally addressed rho Neapolitan Court in the strongest language (a .cord too mild, doubtless), urging upon it a change ..)f policy, and the adoption of reforms requisite even :Jr' the safety of the State, i.e., KING FERDINAND. The " little treasure,' who 33 safety causes th ';o much anxiety treats them is return with ut;ttsr ;ontempt. Ho feels they are fools for their p tins, cud is taking especial pains to ahow it. A rascal informer (the wreto is as deserving of a t.n in. his master), one' PIERRO, in obedience doubr,- !ess to instructions, has hal some fifty individuals ;aid up by the heels on pretence of being engaged ;n a conspiracy for the overthrow of the existing government. How little foundAtion there is fi he charge may be inferred from fly . ) Elct tint not more than eleven of these h tva been pat iheir rial. Brought before illegal court on perjured evidence one would have thought that sufficient to decide their fate. Fur appearance sake, or in obe dience to some freak something more has been lidded. The lash has lieen employed, as the sbirri oil' Naples know how to employ it, and its use per iisted in, until some of the poor prisoners have , :tonfessed themselves guilty to spare their lacerated Oacks from further fl , )g 4 ting. The result will, in d 1 probability, be the condemnation of all eleven either to death or a more ignominious and in human punishment. This sort of thing can't go ni much longer. The people had better b., slain :ii fair fight than_used in this way. Endurance, , vithout hope, somewhat resembles despair ; And there are no terrors to keep an out raged. and despairing people in bonds. The end, in all probability, will be a revolution, characterised by excesses which tyranny can alone provoke or wautonly commit ; in armed occupatio - ii - On' false pretences, and the indefinite postponement of justice to the peo ple ; or a general insurrection throughout Italy— mud what next ? Possibly the Governments of France and England may come to regret not having effectually interfered when their inter ference would have been to their interest as well as to their credit. Why not at once consider the i hroue *as good as vacant, and offer the people VICTOR EMMANUEL for a king ? Here would be a direction as well as a stimulus to action, and escape from great dangers beside. We have indeed much cause to be thankful for the decided failure of the intended military occu pation of Great Britain by German troops. Had the Coburg coup d'etat been accomplished,• we Imight have had but too often to repeat accounts " I "jous affrays between German and English s ' id i-n , - The English people might also become engaged hi the quarrels, fur they are not as yet =c cooled to submit to the insolence of mercenary ')Ands, who have but little notion of the Freedom on w hich we pride ourselves, and the earnestness and de termination with which we would resist armed domination in any shape even from our f ellow-citizens. : The Austrian troops earned for themselves an infa mous notoriety their in the Principalities by arro gant audacity. But they had not Englishmen to deal with, or they might possibly have found. that thy would speedily have been expelled fronl the country, the laws of which they habitUally deVised. Many valuable lives might .bava (been iiii 4 "44;941•464.1ay iiiAti44 oalrail at tio s , ha 0 of 1 _.-.. ~ .• , . • . • "the prevailing influences," but the object would have been achieved at any cost. it is but a short time since the nation was excited by the accounts of the insubordination and virtual mutiny of some of the German Legion, stationed at Shoreham. Since that period the 3d Regiment of Jagers have been removed from Aldershot, at a very brief notice, in consequence of serious disturbances in which they were impli cated, and now we have the 21 Regiment of Jagers following in the same course, and wantonly assailing the English troops and the English peeple, apparently thinking that they can d ) as they like in a German-ridden country. From the accounts that have been received from Aldershot, it would appear that a large body of men belonging to the 2d German Jagers left the encampment on Saturday evening, armed with sticks and other offensive weapons, that they visited the public-houses and other places where some English soldiers were quietly enilying them selves, assailed them without the slightest provo cation, and turned them out of the houses, in which they afterwards smashed the windows and furniture, committing a large amount of wanton mischief. These are the men on whose account we became involved in the American difficulty, and submitted to the outrage inflicted on our Minister and Consuls in the United States by, the PIERCE MARCY Cabinet. These are the men on whom we are now showering benefits in which the merely English heroes of the Crimea—those who bore the brunt of the encounter, and freely shed their blood for their country—are not allowed to par ticipate. They are not only to receive a handsome gratuity on their discharge, but a grant of land in the colonies ; and yeb their only deeds of arms have been against smaller parties ofEnglish soldiers —they would scarcely like to meet them on equal terms—or unarmed English civilians. It is easy to see that, according to the vulgar but expressive phrase, they calculate ou having " a friend at c mrt," or they would not venture an such vaga ries. We trust, however, that the matter may receive a stringent and searching investi gation, and that the ringleaders may not be suffered to escape with' impunity from the penal consequences of their misconduct. One thing, at least, is obvious, that German Gar cisous or German Government will not suit the spirit of the English people—And the sooner we get rid of both the better. Get rid of them quietly, if p tssible—but at all events get ri I of them, I ..:•t, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENINet, JUNE 24, 1856; CENTRAL AMIeRICIA.

His grandfather was a Lincolnshire clergy man, holding the small vicarage of Beaton and the curacy of Deepitig St. Jaime, in that ceivity. Re was born in 1803, and entered the navy in 1812 ; in 1820 he became Lieutenant, and was appointed to the Nautilus, on the Jamaica station. From 1823 to 1826 he was actively employed on the c - iaete of South Atue riaa and Africa, in the Brazen, and subsequently served in the Mediterranean in the Rattlesnake and YEtna, the captain of the latter vessel being the present Admiral Sir Stephen Lushington, K.C.B , who commanded the Naval Brigade on shore at the Siege of Sebastopol. While I Firet Lieutenant of this ship, in October, 1828. he was able to render valuable aid to Captain Lushing ton in the' reduction of the Castle of Morea, the last hold of the Turks in the Pelopcnneeue ; 'or his services on this occasion be was rewarded with the Order of the Redeemer of Greece, and also received the distinction of the Legion of Honour from the French King. He was subsequently in the Asia, the Britannia, and the Bar hem, and in the latter vessel he contieued to serve in the Mediterranean until 1834, when he obtained the rank of Commander. Frera 1830 to 1838, when he became Captain, he was again employed in the Mediterranean on board the Vanguard, and from April to October 1845, and from April, 1845, to Auguet, 1847, held com• mend of the queen and the Constance, the fernier ship hearing the flag of Adietiral Sir John West at Devon• pit, and the latter being stationed in the Pacific. At the close of 1847 he was appointed Surveyor of the Navy, and for nearly nine years has devoted his energy and talents to his official duties, the result of which ser vices has been shown in the magnificent fleet reviewed last month by her Majesty. For some years be was a Rear and Vice-Admiral io the Turkish service, and was made a K.C.B. in 1841 for the gallant conduct which he 4isplayed during the operations on thecoastof Syria under the late Admiral Sir R. Stopfard and Sir C. Napier, in cluding the attack on Beyreut, and the home/velment of St. Jean d'Acre. He was also made a Knight of the Second Class of the Iron Crown of Austria, of St. Anne of Russia, and of the Red Eagle of Prussia. In 1834 he married Mary Catharine, only laughter of the late Cap tain J.

PAINTED BY J. BARRETT. A charming memorial of the late war is now on view at 162, Piccadilly. It is a remarkable paint ing, by Mr. J. Barrett—a painting, we rejoice to observe, now about to be engraved in the highest style of art by Mr. T. 0. Barlow upon a plate some where about the size of the popular engraving of Landseer's celebrated picture of " Bolton Abbey —a plate which it is intended to be destroyed im mediately after the subscribers shall have been sup plied with their respective copies by the eminent publishing firm of Messrs. Agnew and Sons, of Manchester. The incident depicted by the artist is one singularly deserving of commemoration. It represents the "First Visit paid by Queen Vic toria to the Wounded Soldiers," upon the morning of Saturday, the 3d of March, 1855, when her most gracious Majesty proceeded to Chat ' ham for the purpose of herself visiting in person the disabled heroes who had just then returned from the seat of war before Sebastopol. It may be remembered that after staying for a while first of all at Fort Pitt, our beloved Sovereign subsequently pursued her way to the Brompton Barraoks, in one of the wards of which then recently organised military hospital the scene portrayed by Mr. Barrett's skilful hand is supposed to be situated. No less than nineteen admirable portraits are introduced by the artist into t his most attractive and truly historical composition. Nineteen portraits, very interesting to look upon nowadays, but destined to be regarded with a yet more eager scrutiny doubtless by the spectators of another generation. Five of the gallant soldiers have had the additional glory of being associated with the British Monarch in this graceful memorial of their bravery and of their sufferings. John M'Cabe, of the sth Dragoon Guards, who had five sabre wounds on his body, besides seven stabs from the lance, having his right hand nearly severed, and losing two horses in the charge at Balaklava ! Lying in bed is James Higgins, of the 7th Fusilier Guards, who had his left foot entirely carried away at the Alma, and who only saved his life by running a distance of forty yards upon the stump having his leg subsequently twice amputated ! An invalid (whose name is not given in the printed prospectus) leans upon his elbow talking to the Queen—who listens to him with an air of gentle commiseration. The Prince Albert standing be side her Majesty, whose hand rests upon the arm of his Royal Highness—beside the Queen and her Consort at the end of the poor pallet, the youthfUl heir to the throne of England, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, and H.R.H. the Prince Alfred, the latter with the prettiest boy-face imaginable ! These four likenesses of themselves would have been sufficient to invest the picture with an enduring interest. But besides these there are, as we have intimated, several others, two of them soldiers from the seat of war, and the rest either attendant upon the Court or some of the local hospital authorities. Of the two gallant fellows from the Crimea whose names have not yet been particu larised, one is George Barratt, a private of the 7th Fusiliers, who received at the Battle of Inkermann a six ounce shot between the eyes, a shot afterwards extracted, leaving only a scar, but depriving the sufferer almost entirely of the power both of taste and smell ! The other is Serjeant John Breese of the 11th, Prince Albert's, Hussars, who had his right arm torn off by a 321 b. skit—Serjeaut Breese one of the heroes of the famous light cavalry charge at Balaklava a brave soldier, who distin guished himself at Alma, and who was only at last wounded towards the close of the terrible struggle on the ever memorable sth of November. Stand ing beside Mr. Barrett's picture as he related to us some among the stirring incidents of the war in which he had himself so largely participated, Ser jeant Breese was a living testimony of the accuracy of this notable work of art as the production of an historical portrait-painter. It should be remarked that the Staff Surgeon of the Hospital, Mr. H. C. Heade, should consider himself, we cannot but think, very highly favoured by the artist—his figure being about the most conspicuous upon the can vass ; at the first glance the hero of the scene ! In addition to those already mentioned there are re cognisable in the background, very cleverly grouped together--the Commandant of the Ca atham garrison, Colonel Eden ; the General Commanding-in-chief Viscount Ltardinge ; one of the ladies in waiting, Viscountess Canning ; another of them, the Hon. Lucy Kerr ; the welt-known Court secretary, Col. the Hon. C. B. _Phipps; the principal medical officer, Deputy-Inspector-General G. B. Dart ?bell ; the wife of the Commandant of the gar rison, Mrs. Eden ; besides Major-General Grey, and the Duke of Cambridge. Enough. The subject of the picture, coupled with the name of the artist, will be accepted -by the discerning as equivalent to an assurance of the painting comprising among its merits those of value, beauty, interest, and importance, 'lt is destined; we doubt not, to be among the most popular pic tures commemorative of the late war with Russia— a memorial to be hung up by many an English hearth, sacred as among the lares and penates of domestic art, generation after generation. CRIMEAN PHOTOGRAPHS. BY ROGER FENTON. A selection from these celebrated Photographs having recently been published by the Messrs. Agnew and sous, of Manchester—the firm to whose enterprise the public is indebted for the whole of this very remarkable undertaking—some adequate notion may be already formed of the peculiar value and interest attached to the work, a work altogether, as unexampled of its kind as it is eminently historical in its general character. Eleven spe cimens of the Collection find their place even now in the subscribers' portfolio. Specimens for the most part as brilliant as examples of the photographic art, as they are interesting as memo rials of the Crimean War. Conspicuous among them is that wondrous glimpse of the " Council of War," held on the morning of the taking of the Marnelon—in which are seen grouped about the little table at the British Head-quarters, the Eng lish, French, and Turkish Commanders-in-Chief. Lord Raglan, in "mufti," with white a scarf wound round his " wide-awake," a very amiable-looking old putleinan I And Omar Pacha, with his flashing , eyes and silvered beard, a favourable specimen of one of the wirey old warriors of the Osmanli ! And Marshal Pelissier, short, stout, white-headed, whip in hand, with an expression upon his calm fact precisely of the very kind (cold and resolute) one Would look for in the vi-age of the dare-devil sol dier who smoked the poor Arabs to death once upon a time in that dreadful Cave of Suffocation ! Single portraits there are, too, in others of these Crimean Photographs. Here the likeness of Sir Do Lacy Evans—a quaint, sour-looking counte nance, compared not inaptly by the Athenceum, to one's ideal of D m Quixote. There the features of Sir Colin Campbell—hardly less quaint in aspect, with the brow wrinkled up comically enough, some what after the fashion of ourfavouritecomedian, Mr. Buckstone. Examples of camp life also there are in the collection—hardships illustrated by the free-and-easy manner in which three British officers are hob-nobbing round - a wheelbarrow ! A peep at the canteen, where sundry privates of the Bth Hussars are clustered round the kettle, getting their rations ! Yonder, again,• samples of the soldier's life as it was with our heroic Allies in the Crimea—General Bosquet seated observantly at the opening of his tent; standing beside him his aide-de camp, Captain Dampierre ! Or that slap-dash of a Zouave, there, quietly smoking his pipe while he picks off , every now and then, some wretched victim of his unerring rifle—a greycoated Russian with a holy medal on his breast and a bit of black bread in his knapsack ! Besides these, two other photographs commemorating the deplor able, .higgeldy-piggeldy jumble at Balaklays,— and two more perpetuating the actual appear: ance of things in 1854 1855 upon the Plateau of Sebastopol. Such are the constituent parts of this preliminary g athering from Mr. Roger Fen ton's three or four hundred Crimean Photographs now in course of being issued from the press by the eminent publishing house of the Messrs. Agnew and Sons, of Manchester.

Later on, when both have become merely matters of history, it will be as wholly in valuable mementos of the past that these marvel lous sun-pictures will be examined with curious and wondering eyes by the men, women, and chil dren of another, and now remote generation. POLYCHROMATIC GLASS.—Some results have been sub 'bitted to us of an invention by Mr. Burridge, which has for its object the introduction of an entirely new description of coloured glass, adapted to useful as well as ornamental .purposes, for which a transparent oolqured glass, or a transparent and opaque coloured glass „com bined, is required. It consists in this,—that plates of glass being formed with a different colour on each:side, patterns are removed by an- acid, and give either one or other of the colours, pore white, or combinations of the two colours, according to the thickness of each left. It ' is applicable- for the windows, walls, and ceilings of build ings in every style of architecture, and supersedes the necessity for any kind of lead-work.

The intelligence from St. Petersburg states that a ukase, June 14, ruts an end to the state of siege in the governments of Cherson, Yekateimos loff, and Podolia. It is, however, maintained in the Crimea. The ramparts of Nicolaieff have been strengthened. HAMBURG, JUNE 23.

FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. A grand dinner was given yesterday at the Palace of St. Cloud. In the evening the comedians of the Theatre Frangais performed "Par droit de Conquete" and " Le Village." The ,Vlioniteur publishes a decree promulgating an arrangement which has been come to between France and the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway for the privileged transmission of the offi cial despatches of the respective governments by the telegraphic lines of either country, taking priority in all cases of private despatches. The Pays says :—" It is known that a serious difficulty had arisen between Holland and the Re public of Venezuela, and that a Dutch squadron was sent to cruise upon the coasts of the latter country. We learn from private information that, this difference has been completely arranged by the active and non-official medium of the French and English consuls at Caraccas."

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 13th says : —" Our crops present an admirable appearance in all our provinces, and it is certain that Russia can export an immense quantity of wheat to fo reign countries by the ports both of the Black Sea and of the Baltic. The latter in particular will supply wheat to England, but our Government not being very well disposed towards Sweden will threw obstacles in the way of trade with that coun try. Steam navigation in the Volga and the Don having become greatly developed, the marked dif ferences now existing in the prices of wheatfrom our different provinces will be diminished ; but it is only railways that can completely put an end to such a state of things. Already has a company been formed at Moscow for constructing a railway from that city to the banks of the Oka, and its capital is ready ; but the surveys have not yet been made. There is also a rumour of forming railways from Moscow to Riga and Revel, and of establishing one between those two places. The commerce of the ports of the Baltic is extraordinarily active ; Riga and Cronstadt are encumbered with vessels of all countries. Odessa and the other Black Sea ports have not recovered so completely from the effects of the war ; but at Odessa there is a 'good deal of animation, and the place is destined to become more important than it ever was, the Government certainly intending to make it a free port, and even to suppress what is called " the fifth of the entrance dues," which it has hitherto levied ; the quarantine, besides, is already completely suppressed. Though the cholera ap pears disposed to quit us, another calamity has succeeded it—namely, frequent incendiary tires, which afflict several towns in the empire, and have done a good deal of damage." AUSTRIA. Freddy A letter from Vienna of the 19th, in Voss's Gazette, of Berlin, says :—A. conference has just taken place at the Ministry of F.)reign Affairs be tween Count Buol and the representatives of England, France, Prussia, Russia, and Turkey, on the question of the Principalities. Count Buol pointed out, at some length, the motives which had determined Austria to support the proposition inade at the commencement by Turkey to allow the separation of the two provinces to continue. The Grand Vizir not only entirely approved of the reasons given by Count Buol, but he declared that his Sovereign would never cunsent to their junc • tion, although he would be disposed to admit institutions calculated to give more firmness to the government of the Principalities. It is thought that the Porte will not object to the post of Hos podar becoming hereditary. Russia strongly sup ported the opinion of the 'Western Powers." A letter from Vienna states that the Austrian Government has given orders for the troops in Lombardy to be reinforced. It is said that Field- Marshal Radetzky has pointed out the necessity of increasing the number of troopers to 100,000 men. SPORTING NOTES. NEWCASTLE AND STOCKBRIDGE. The operations on the Northumberland Plate yester day were limited in effect. They merely indicated the undiminished confidence of the partisans of the King of Scotland and the growing hopes of the supporters of Puck. No particular demonstration was made in favour of the other animals that figured in the betting. The field will be numerically insignificant, and when the muster roll is called only the following will perhaps put in an appearance : Cannobie Age st lb 3 6 9 Yorkshire Grey 4 6 9 Honeysuckle ..... 5 6 9 Whitelock Cossey Uolton 4 6 2 Age st lb St. Clare 5 6 0 Puck Z :ta Warlock (lough tou 3 5 4 King of Scotland 3 5 0 CANNOBIE is unquestionably a horse of superior merit, but his appdhrance at Ascot, where he was defeated by both Fly by-Night and Pitapat, induced me to believe that he was not then exactly right. This opinion was endorsed by several shrewd judges, and, it it be founded on fact, experience teaches us to be cautious how we trust horses in a severe race that have only a compara tively few days before been notoriously amiss. I do not believe that Cannobie has had sufficient time to recover his proper form, and, looking at the weight which he will have to concede to nearly every animal in the race, I am justified in withholding my confidence from him. YORKSHIRE GREY is handicapped leniently enough, and it is stated that John Osborne indulges in sanguine expectations that this journey he shall receive some compensation for his disappointment at Chester. The Grey must not be slightingly regarded ; his party be lieved him to be a good horse in the spring, and he may prove the correctness of their judgment. HONEYSUCKLE has so often disappointed her party for great Handicaps when she has been really " well in " and backed in earnest that I am disinclined to place faith in her pretensions. The interest of the Whitewall Stable will, in my opinion, be more worthily repre sented by WARLOCK, who has shown a bit of form. COSSEY is thoroughly game, and will take much beat- ing. His race for the Doncaster Handicap, for which he carried only 2lbs less than his present impost, must not be overlooked. Of the outsiders, in fact, I am inclined to couple him and FREDDY as being the most formidable. FREDDY ran a good race for the Northamptonshire Stakes, but destiny has always compelled him to be contented with second honours. His ill-luck may, how ever, be now changed. Mr. Mather will in all probability start two, WHITE LOCK and ST, CLARE. His chance of repeating his last year's triumph is not out, and I shall not be surprised to see his best—on this occasion, perhaps, the little frac tious St. Clare—finish in close company with the winner. For a " Derby horse," Puck is weighted on favourable terms. His party are shrewd tacticians, and not bad judges, and I shall expect him to beat both ZETA and WARLOCK. The support conceded to KING OF SCOTLAND induces ine to believe that the rumours which have reached me about his trial are not greatly exaggerated. The horse's lenient weight, too, is .sufficient to make his party san oine -if the h. , rse possess racing ability but slightly raised above mtdi , ,crity. But should his party have made any error of judgment, the " pot" will be upset by either FREDDY or PucK. Cossey I shall reserve for a " cockboat." The Grand Stand Stakes seems likely to go to Blink Bonny. For the Free Handicap I shall select Biron and Maid of Dement. Either Radulphus or Double Mixture will win the Commercial Visitors' Plate. Although Manganese figures amongst the nominations for the Ga',eshead Lottery Stakes, I shall let Heir of Linne do battle for me. He is, however, also entered for the Gold Cup, for which I shall take him to beat the field. I shall not attempt even to make a guess at the winner of the Corporation Plate, as the result of the race for that event will depend upon the running for the other Handicap S4kes during the meeting. I shall therefore merely express an opinion that on paper Sara band looks as well in as anything. The " Sport in Hampshire" will command the atten tion of a large majority of Southern turfites. It is likely to be celebrated with due eclat, for, thanks to the judi cious management of John Day, jun., the means and ap. pliances for conducting a large meeting at Stockbridge have been amply furnished, and the gathering which is now annually held under his direction may vie in attrac tion with any in the kingdom ; for although no Derby or St. Leger is contested, and no great Handicap appears in the programme, yet the character of the racing is of masked superiority. The "diversions" will commence with the exploits of the members of the Bibury Club. Astrologus may win the Bibury Stakes, and Glen masson is, I am told, a "good thing" for the Cham pagne. The three Triennial Stakes impart quite a formidable appearance to the Stockbridge programme, and although tbere is likely to be a good supply of sport, yet the list will bear some comparison with the Hidalgo's supper, which consisted of very little meat, but a great deal of table-cloth. For the Four-Years-Old Triennial Lord Alfred and Shoreham will occupy the foremost places. • The Triennial for three-yrs-old will go to the Dane bury stable, Rlgerthorpe being, perhaps, most likely to represent the interest ot the party. With respect to the Triennial for two-yrs-old, the chorus—" To the %Vest to the West" may not be inappropriately raised, for the stakes seems likely to be carried off either by Western Power or the Queen of the West. Bath Wentworth and Mincepie are amongst the nomi nations fOr the Stockbridge Derby, and botti have slbs. extra to carry. Whichever starts will doubtless win. The Mottisfont Stakes may be decided by Special License. One Act and Yellow Jack will occupy the foremost places for the Stewards' Plate, and stale a 3 Jack must be by this time I shall again trust him. The Winchester meeting is likely to be a slow affair. The stakes may go to Redemption. The Lenham and Mid-Kent meeting will take place to-morrow, and coming as it does in contact with the Nesicastle and Stockbridge gatherings, a large muster of turfites there is not expected. For the Mid-Kent Handi cap, bwalcliffe, after his running at Hampton, shall repre sent my interest ; and fur the Lenham Plate, Napoleo❑ 111. and Swalcliffe look best. June 24. A FRESH MAN.

The Eleven sent in Grundy and Mr. McCormick, who made a stand for two hours, and when parted 47 runs were obtained, the former retiring for 22, most ably got; John Lilly white took his place, and after adding 8 to the score, was bowled.

A letter from Berlin of the klth, in the Debats, says :—" The approaching arrival of the Emperor of Austria in this capital is still talked of. The King, it is said, charged Prince Windischgratz with a letter of invitation for the Emperor, and the latter promised to accept it immediately after the confinement of the Empress. It is supposed that the arrival of Prince - Lobkowitz here to-day is con nected with this visit of the Emperor. The Prince has left to-day for Stettin. Baron de Richtholen has been named as repre sentative of Prussia to the commission charged to organise the Principalities. His instructions have been drawn up, by M. Balayn, and only wait the signature of the minister, when M. de Richtholen will leave for Bucharest." The Bourse Gazette of Berlin says :—" We have already stated that government has the intention of making concessions to neighbouring countries with a view of facilitating commercial relations. We learn that a commission of Polish and Russian customs and financial authorities will assemble at Warsaw to consider the projects which are to be submitted to it. It appears that Prince Gortscha koff obtained some information during his last stay in Berlin concerning the difficulties which obstruct the commerce of Prussia with Russia, and that the Russian ambassador is now autho rised to inquire further into the subject." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived ; those of the 18th, which are also due, have not eGIIIO to hand. Nearly all the papers. before us comment on the declarations in the Gazette on the line of policy of the Duke de la Victoria, but their remarks are not very important. A letter from Widdin (Bulgaria) of the 17th, in the Prussian Correspondence, says :—" Some troubles have burst out at Belgradschik. About a score of Servians, under the command of a certain Petrowitch, crossed the frontier near the village of Kalascb, and the band, being re inforced by about 200 idle individuals, directed its course towards the Balkan, where their leader en. - deavoured to raise the co untry.. Schakir Pacha was obliged to set out with a regiment of cavalry in pursuit of this band."
