wisdom of acceding to the motion, as be did not see in what possible way the prerogative of the crown would be placed in a more gratifying light. Lord G. LENNOX insisted that the paragraph was most false and infamous, and in this opinion the judge concurred. Whatever might be the general character of the articles, the paragraph in question was a gross and scandalous libel. It accused the magistrate of abusing the labouring classes, and aiming at their transportation.---(Hear, hear.) It was to be remembered that the paragraph stated that " the labourer had no way of making his situation and wants known, but by setting fire to the stacks of obnoxious individuals ; and this, forsooth, waestated to be a paragraph which crept in by accident. Did the conduct of the paper since the conviction warrant such an assertion as this ? On the contrary, other articles of a somewhat similar na ture followed, and one of them was an attack on Mr. Mabbott, who bad nothing to do directly with the prosecution ; but, with other magistrates, went to Lewes, where they met with thirteen other magistrates on county business, when a person belonging to the village brought the libel under their consideration ; and on read ing it, they were of opinion that a prosecution should take place. Mr. Mahbott was a highly respectable man. He had only taken his own share in the proceeding, He was countenanced in what he did by thirteen others ; and yet he, in a subsequent paragraph of this paper, was singled out as an object to be pointed out to the populace. Here the noble lord read some passages from subsequent numbers —the object of which, be contended, was to vilify the magistracy. Another ran somewhat thus:—" Can you patiently submit to be plundered by tax-gatherers, who trample upon you as you trample the clods on which you work ?" Was this language which should be used with impunity?—(Hear, hear.) So gross was the libel, that a public meeting was called to take cognizance of it. The majority were of opinion that it should be prosecuted ; surely the person thus convicted was not the man for whom the royal clemency could be claimed. Mr. C. BULLER argued that the question was whether, under a just state of the law, this was a libel which ought to be punished so severely, and insisted that the sentence was one upon which the meditated improvements in the law ought to exercise an influence. It was a case which had been tried by a special jury, and special juries were known to be generally composed of private gentlemen, who were of necessity anti-reformers. Mr. Cohen had been aken from under the cognizance of such a jury as might be looked upon in the light of his natural judges, and brought before persons whose sentiments on public matters were quite the opposite of his. In the second place, another injustice had been committed by lumping together a series of charges in such a way as that it was difficult to say upon which, or how many, Mr. Cohen had been convicted. The court itself, in passing the sentence, made the distinc tion, and acquitted Mr. Cohen of that part of the charge which bad to-Light been made a strong ground of resist ance to the motion before the house,—(Cheers.) But redly, was the house prepared to say that this was an offence which ought to be so severely punished ?—(Hear.) He (Mr. Buller) would not undertake to defend the paragraph, nor to be the champion of its language; but something was to be allowed for freedom of discussion. If the expression of public opinion were at all to be allowed, some extent must be permitted ; and it would be impossible for government to interfere in every instance to interpret the temper and the tone.—(Cheere.) It was stated that this was a libel on a private individual. It was no such thing; it was a question relating to the government, which, in all constitutional countries, required and war ranted a rigorous looking after on the part of the press.—(Cheers.) The question, then, was, whether Mr. Cohen was wrong in discussing the conduct of the magis trates of Sussex. Surely a writer on such a subject bad as good a title to express strong opinions in strong lan guage as any gentleman in that house. Let the house look at the report of the poor law commission, and they would find somewhat similar in it; nor did be make the reference for the purpose of blaming that commission, but on the contrary, to give them credit for having had the courage to state that the root of many of the evils to which they adverted was to be found in the magistracy. The question before the house, it was to be admitted, was not likely to he palatable, as the house contained many of the magistracy.—(Hear, hear.) Why should an humble individual be prosecuted, for that which bad been done by the poor law commissioners, and why should a punish ment be inflicted which was not in accordance with the of fence, but rather owing to the abominable nature of a law, the alteration of which, because of its oppressiveness, the Government bad now under its consideration ? (Cheers.) There could be no greater disgrace attaching to a law than its infliction of a punishment heavier than the nature of the offence merited. Mr. HUDSON thought the tendency of the speech they had just heard was rather to amuse than to excul pate. The boo. member argued that it was unjust to prosecute because the law of libel was about to be altered. The only effect of the alteration would be to allow of the justification of the libel ; and there was no proof that under the proposed alteration a similar verdict would not have been found. Mr. GORING said, there were no magistrates on the jury which hid tried this case. The foreman of the jury was a respectable yeoman. There was another aggravat ing circumstance in the case ; for Mr. Cohen, instead of expressing regret, only added to his offence, by endeavour ing to excite the tenantry against the landlords by asking, " what was the utility of the squirearchy to the farmers, and what did they do for them ? Did they administer the law in justice, or what was the returns which they made them for their rents?" One would think, from such pas sages as these, that the property belonged to the farmers. Was this the language to be used by one calling on the landlords of that home to remit his punishment? The writer also attacked lay impropriators, and asked whether this imposition should be submitted to, because it was ordained by law. Did not this language tend to incite to resistance, and was it not pilpably intended to set tenant against landlord ? Mr. HUGHES HUGHES could say that the paper i❑ question abounded in slanders. Mr. FERGUS O'CONNOR, in reply to the noble lord (Howick) said the best way of getting rid of these newspaper articles was not to notice them. The noble lord argued against the royal clemency being extended in this case, on two grounds ; first, that it is a libel on an individual, and next a libel o❑ magistrates ; then it was stated that there were four libels. All this was the con sequence of the complexity of the ►ibel law. Now, it would nut be fair to make that house both judges and juror .—(Cheets.) Hon. members might cheer, but there had been stated to-night several paragraphs which bad no effect in causing the sentence, and was it fair to make these the ground of refusing the royal prerogative ? (Hear, hear.) The instance of the poor law commis sioners and their report had been very fairly put, and he p lid not see that a case was made out to prove that this Ivan ap instance in which the exercise of the royal pre rogative could be refused. Lord ALTHORP said that the continuance of the ob noxious paragraphs furnished sufficient reason for the refusal. Sir CHARLES BLUNT had been applied to by a large body of Isis constituents to support the motion. He did not desire to revive discussion on a matter which had ao long passed by. The third reason was this, and be was qabltd to state it to the house as a positive fact, that Mr. Cohen, shortly previous to his trial, was ready to come forward and state that he was not the author though the publisher of the libel.., Nay, more, he was willing to give up the name of the author, and to express his regret for having admitted into t he columns of his paper a paragraph which he admitted to be bighlr objectionable. Holding, aa he did, a situation amongst the magistrates of Sussex,he felt it his bounden duty to declare that he was no party to the prosecution. He considered such a prosecution to be disgraceful to the county where it was instituted.— (Cheers.) With regard to the gentleman who stood for ward as champion for the Sussex magistrates, he knew him to be a highly honourable and humane man, and he believed that he acted entirely under a mistaken impression, and now regretted the part he had taken.—( Hear.) Lord WILLIAM LENNOX said that the statement of Mr. Cohen's readiness to give up the author was per fectly corract. A serious charge had been brought against Mr. Cohen of endeavouring to stimulate the peasantry of Sussex to acts of outrage, but from that charge he bad been entirely exonerated. He bad been found guilty of the libel, and the libel alone, and the question was, whether, after what had been urged in mitigation, the house did not consider that he had endured sufficient punishment?—(Hear.) Some paragraphs had been read by a noble relative of his, but he begged to remind his noble relative of some other paragraphs which were read in the other house by a noble relative of theirs, now a menater of his Majesty's administration, during the go vernment of the Duke of Wellington. These paragraphs were from a report of an inquiry into the poor laws, by whim itoppeared that hundreds of labourers were em ployed in Sussex in mending the roads at 3d. and 4d. a-chry, and had also to find their own tools.—(H ear .) _Sorely when this was , the case, the man who said the labourers of Sussex were trampled on was perfectly justi fied in his assertion.--(Hear.) Some allusion bad been mad by his noble relative to a meeting called at Brighton in reference to this business, to the requisition for which she name of a relative of the bon. member for Brighton appeared; but he should like to know what the result of that meeting was, for if they bad not followed it up, ' surely they must be considered as equally guilty. The fact was, the Brighton people were particularly sensitive and alarmed at the appearance of any article against the King; not that they were a bit more loyal than other people, but they were afraid lest the court should take offence, and not spend so much money in Brighton. Sir C. BURRELL said, the poor law commissioners, at the time alluded to, did not so much complain of the severity of the treatment of the labourers as of the manner and regulation of their allowances. Every word that had fallen from the noble lord under the gallery, with reference to the magistrates, was perfectly correct ; but it was un fortunate for the assertion of the hon. baronet, the member for Lewes, that the prosecutor, though bringing the matter forward at the request of his brother magistrates, did so without hesitation, and had said lately that be felt no re gret at the part he had taken, because he conceived that his duty to his brother magistrates compelled him to adopt that course. That magistrate was indeed a man of the highest character, and one more just or more humane could not be found. But what was the conduct of the person on whose behalf the house was now moved? In his paper of the 21st, there was a statement of what had taken place in that house, and in the following week there was a paragraph as obnoxious as ever. The writer, addressing the labouring classes, said, that if any labourer undertook to perform a task which he could not accomplish he would be called an imposter, but " your parson and squire magistracy (now, said the hon. baronet, it is a fact that in Sussex we have no clerical magistrates at all) have undertaken to preserve order. In your pre sent condition, who would give them credit for preserving order ? They cannot. They are quacks and imposters." —(Hear.) This was the language of the individual who now came forward and applied for remission of punish ment. He would appeal to the house whether, under circumstances of so little contrition, he was entitled to any_ lenient consideration. For his part he thought the house would use its powers extremely ill in interfering with courts of justice, so long as they did nothing contrary to 'rm.—(Hkar.) Mr. CURTEIS denied that the prosecution in question had been undertaken by request of the magistrates of the county of Sussex ; but the prosecutor was, he believed, put forward as a tool (he did not wish to use the word in an obnoxious sense) of two or three gentlemen who did not wish to show themselves in the business. He was one of those who tried to stop this prosecution at the outset. He said then he thought the prosecution likely to do more mischief than good, and he still thought so; for the libel had now been spread far and wide, and bad been read by thousands, who, but for that prosecution, would never have read it at all.—(Hear.) He put in an affidavit in mitigation when Mr. Cohen was called up for judgment, and he did not regret having done so. He had long been a reader of the Brighton Guardian ; and he was bound to say that he thought the charge brought against Mr. Cohen, of endeavouring to excite the humbler classes to outrage, was most unjust.—(Hear.) When the outrages on property took place in the county of Sus sex, Mr. Cohen wrote several articles in his paper, in order to point out to the rustic classes the folly and wickedness of their 'proceedings.—(Hear.) He really thought the sentence one of very great severity.—(Hear, hear.) And for what was the charge ? Bringing the Sussex magistrates into disrepute. He, as a Sussex ma- , gistrate, would scorn such a charge. He was independent of newspaper paragraphs, and he would refer to his own conduct, and to the estimation of his friends and neigh bours, for the refutation of any charges that they might bring against him.—(Hear, bear.) The prosecution had done much more mischief than good, and he thought the offer of giving up the author should have been accepted as a sufficient atonement.—(Hear, hear.) Lord A. LENNOX said it was very strange that Mr. Cohen should have offered to give up the author of the libel, and that, under such a circumstance, it should not have been stated in the affidavits in mitigation of punish ment.—(Hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK said it was certainly mentioned in Court. Lord A. LENNOX said it was not stated in the affi davits in mitigation. Major BEAUCLERK looked upon this case as one of exceeding hardship on the individual who was now suffer ing under the oppressive law abbe!. Surely his punish ment had been sufficiently severe. He had now been four months away from his home, his family, and friends, im prisoned in what might almost, with regard to him, be considered a foreign country. He was sorry to see the members of his Majesty's administration coming town in full force at this time of night to sacrifice this unfor tunate individual, instead of meeting a fair discussion in a full House.--(Hear, hear.) They and their friends might give themselves credit for this me mute, but he was sure that he spoke the sentiments of the country when he said that the manner in which the adminis tration had used this law of libel would do mo: e to lose them the esteem of the people than any other act of their government.—(Heir, hear, hear.) The Whig Government had, in point of fact, made more use of the libel law, which they bad formerly so much depre cated, since they had been in office, than any other ad ministration in the same space of time.—(Hear.) It was allowed even by his opponents, that the punishment awarded to Mr. Cohen was a severe one. Bringing the into ,li.r,,pute, indeed ! Why Lord Brutighlill, when he was in that house, over and over again attacked the magistracy of England, and represented them in a much more unfavourable light..(H-ar.) But this individual, because he happened to write against the Whigs, and not for them, was doomed to feel the full weight of their anger ; and the whole treasury bench was brought down, at two in the morning, to crush one who was unable to contend with them.—(Hear.) Mr. WIGNEY replied, and the house then divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority PROSECUTION OF TEIE PILOT. Mr. O'DWYER moved for "a return, in detiii, of the expenses of the pro•ecution in the case of the King z'. Barrett." _ . Mr. LITTLETON said his only objection to the re turn was, that it did not go far enough. He should, therefore, move an amendment, the effect of which would be to give all the information required by the hon. mem ber, and, in addition to that, to point out the different stages in which the various expenses had been incurred. Mr. O'i;WYER objected to this. He admitted he had an ulterior object in moving for the return. ➢lr. LITTLETON had an object also in his amend ment, ‘ll:ich was to throw on the proper parties the ex penses incurred by their evasions and delays. His re turn would he a much fairer one than the boo. member's. The gallery was cleared for a division, but none took place, the amended return being agreed to. The report of the committee of supply was brought up, and the various resolutions agreed to. The Marine Force Regulation Bill was read a first time, as were also the Mutiny Bill and the Sugar Duties Bill. The house then adjourne . d at half.past.two this morning.

He was dressed in the full High:and costume, and appeared to be about 40 years of age. His mien and gallant appearance reminded us of portraits we have seen, and of accounts we have read regarding his un fortunate ancestor.—Dundee Constitutional. Prince Hohenlohe has ceased to work miracles, in consequence of a singular accident. He received one day a letter enteating him to say four masses for a young I idy who had her left leg four inches shorter than her light. The number four had been written in cipher ; the writing was indistinct; the Prince read eight in place of four, and said eight massys. His success was complete— it was even more than complete, for the left leg having grown an inch at every mass, was now four inches longer than the right. The Prince was so deeply affi , cted with this successful result of his prayers, that he has renounced all future attempts, and transferred his remainin - „stock of miraculous power to the Frau Schumann, an of man living at Sommdorf, in Saxony.

There is now a fair prospect of redress for most of the grievances under which the British sailors have so long suffered. The bill of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, if filled up with the clauses mentioned by him, and those alluded to by Lord ALTHORP, will be of the greatest service, and at last afford remuneration ar.d protection to an ill-used class of men. No wonder that the public have revolted at the cruelties of impressment, for in no country, however barbarous, were men ever subjected to greater injustice and more individual suffering than the impressed sailors of the British navy. It is of no use to paint their sufferings now, the system is for ever abolished, and in its place we hope soon to see a naval code which will raise the character of the navy, and hold out a fair remuneration to the best defenders of their country. Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S plan is too meagre, it does not go far enough, but so far as it goes, the spirit of it is good. It will first of all abolish the practice of sending convicts to serve on board the fleet, it will raise the scale of prize money to sailors in the proportion of five to fifteen facilitate the recovery of wages abroad, and establish a registry of all merchant seamen, from which sailors are to be ballotted as militia men. The system of ballot is perfectly fair, and places landsmen and sea men on the same footing. Impressment is still to be resorted to in cases of emergency, indeed hardly one member contended that cases of danger might not arise when it could not be dispensed with ; but if it is a ne cessary evil, care ought to be taken that it be mitigated in every possible way—by humane treatment on board—by providing for the fannly of the impressed sailor, not as for paupers, from the . poor rates, but out of the navy estimates, and by allowing these men the preference in obtaining their discharge when the number of sailors could safely be diminished. When the bill, however, comes before the house, we shall be better able to form a correct opinion on its merits. The discussion on the petition from Devon, relative to tithes, was interesting, not only as showing the feeling of the petitioners, and a great body of the yeomanry of England, but also the opinion of one of his Majesty's Mi nisters. The yeomanry are desirous (as every one in the kingdom is) to see tithes abolished, but if the petition spoke the sentiments of that body, we can only say we do not concur in them. Abolish tithes by all means—their ex istence is a disgrace to the age; but in abo lishing them, let not the landlord be the only gainer : let fair commutation take place, and let the fund so provided be set apart for the payment of the clergy and church rates of every description, and let the surplus be left to the disposal of Parliament. The petitioners are de sirous, however, that the commutation should be fixed, not by taking the value of a tenth of the land, but by a tenth of the rent. This might indeed be called spoliation and robbery, and who would profit by it ? Not the people, but the great body of landholders, who already levy an enormous tax on the people in the shape of corn laws. Lord EBRINGTON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL properly denounced such a scheme on the justest grounds. Church property, according to the latter, was intended to be enjoyed and used for the public good and happiness, and if the Legislature should fritter away that property, or divert it from public purposes to the use of the land- owners, they would be guilty of the grossest Injustice. The confiscation of land in the reign of WILLIAM the Conqueror, was justified on the plea of conquest, and the seizure of a great part of the church lands, in the time of HENRY VIII., on the plea that the religion of the state was changed, but no such defences can be set up now. Even since the latter period, tithe has been valued at a tenth of the produce, land has passed from one hand to another, with a perfect knowledge of the fact, and if any reduc tion be made on them further than an equivalent for the expense of collection, or compelling pay ment of tithes, it will only benefit the landlord at the expense of the public. No doubt, the landlord will be glad to put the difference quietly into his own pocket ; but from what fell from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we are glad to find that no such scheme will be sanctioned by the Bill for the abolition of tithes. Mr. COHEN'S case was brought forward last night in the House of Commons by Mr. WIG.. NEY, but any remission of his sentence, as the Honourable Mover proposed, was objected to by Lord HOWICK, who urged that the punish ment was by no means disproportioned to the offence. We cannot hold with his Lordship in this instance. Mr. COHEN was proved. innocent of the gravest part of the libel for which he was prosecuted, and the only charge of which he was found guilty, was that of libelling the Sussex magistrates, which libel, it was ascertained, had been inserted in the Brighton Guardian with out his knowledge. Yet his punishment (six months, and a fine to boot) is not thought worthy, by Lord HOWICK, of the slightest remission ! New York Papers to the 4th of February have been received. The withdrawal of the Bank deposits still afforded ample discussion to the several parties interested ; but the papers other wise contain no news. SALES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE, FEB. 3 --Thirty Shares, United States B ink, 103 ; 200 ditto Manhattan Bank, 1191, four months and interest ; 2 5 ditto Bank of America, NO. The French Papers of Monday have been received. They confirm our previous intelli gence respecting the intervention of the French Government with the German Confedera tion or Diet touching the outrage on M. HANNO, by the Governor of Lux emburg. The remonstrance has had the desired effect, for M. HANNO has been set at liberty in consequence. But we think the matter ought not to be suffered to rest here. Guarantees should be required against any re petition of such disgraceful conduct. It is stated in these papers that tile Emperor ofAUSTRIA is dangerously ill, but there ap ' pears no solid foundation for the report. The accounts from Spain are still unsatisfac to►y. The ministers are daily becoming more unpopular—and the often reported convocation of the Cortes is now put off till the 27th of April, that being the birthday of the QUEEN.

Brussels papers, of the 3d of March, re ceived this afternoon, inform us that the Ger man Diet had ordered M. HANN° to be im mediately set at liberty, in consequence of the remonstrance of the English ambassador at Frankfort. It thus appears that both France and England had made common cause in the matter, which, as guarantees of Belgian inde pendence, they were bound to do. No wonder, then, that the policy of Holland was overruled. BRUSSELS, MARCH l.—The Director of the Post-offie inform the public that, from the 3d March, there will be a new pons established between Belgium and the Prussian frontier office at Aix_la-Chapelle. The letters for that city, Cologne, May ence, Frankfort-on-the-Maine, and all Southern Germany, will, by this new route, reach their destination without suffering any delay. German papers of the 27th February have been received, but they make no allusion to the reported illness of the Emperor of AUSTRIA! VIENNA, FEB. 22.—Five per Cent.

Conyers, Colonel Lambert, Colonel Sir John Macro., Colonel Lewis, Major-General Sir H. Douglas, Colonel Daubeney, Colonel Webster, Major-General Kng, Colonel Nicoll, Colonel D'Arcy, and about fifty other officers. It is somewhat remarkable that Sir J. Camp bell and Mr. Hawkes have been three times pitted against each other as candidates for Parliamentary honours, Mr. Hawkes having twice disputed the representation of Staf ford with Sir John, in both which instances he (Mr. Hawkes) was defeated. SUDDEN DEA TH.--abOUt twelve o'clock last night, the company at the " Old Drury," Brydges. street, Covent-garden, were alarmed by the servant an nouncing that a young gentleman was dying in his room up stairs. Two gentlemen (we are given to understand medical students) immediately attended him. and gave it as their opinion that he was merely " Flaring-up." The landlord, however, was not satisfied, and sent for Dr. Snitch, who bled the unfortunate young man in three arteries, from which be appeared to revive, but relapsed, and Mr. Snitch had recourse to the temporal artery. His skill and exertions, however, failed, and the patient breathed his last. It appears the deceased, about three months since, took up his abode as above, when his father called on and induced him to return home. The night before last he took a sandwich for his supper, and a small portion of a'e, and retired to rest. Last night, at twelve o'clock, he retired to rest somewhat " fresh," to use a nautical phrase, and was discovered by the servant as above stated. The family of the deceased are said to reside in the neighbourhood of Re4ent.street, and domestic troubles are also said to have brought on apoplexy. A coroner's jury will be summoned to inquire more particularly into the case this day. FERMANAGH ASSIZES.—A correspondent mentions that the sheriff of the county Fermanagh has not summoned a single Roman Catholic as juror for the March assizew.

THE TEA SALE. This morning, by half-past ten o'clock, the Court Room was as much crowded with buyers as on any of the former days. At eleven o'clock the Committee of the Tea Trade entered, and Mr. Twining was called to the chair. The Committee had been appointed to consider of the letter from the Court of Directors to the trade, in answer to their memorial. They now made a report, which was read to the meeting. After entering into a full account of the claims and demands of the trade, and the refusal of the Directors to grant them any relief for the loss they were likely to sustain from the large declaration at the present sale, and also disprov ing the inferences drawn in the director's letter, it recom mended that in consideration of the interests of the public, no more opposition should be offered to the going on with the sale. The report was loudly cheered by the meeting, which was then shortly addressed by the chairman and some other gentlemen. At twelve o'clock the presiding director (Mr. Ellis) took the chair, and the sale commenced. A few first lots of Bohea were sold at Is. 41d. per lb.; but many of the after lots were scratched,-1. e., there being no advance on the upset price, they were bought in.

MANCHESTER, MONDAY NIGHT, 12 o'Ctocis. If a brace of " Budgets" have recently been sported within the walls of St. Stephen's, we see no reason why we provincial chroniclers of "how runs the world away" should not humour the world with a third, so here goes :—The Derby Oaks and St. Leger have none of them during the past week been in that fashion as to require particular comment; we shall therefore merely pay them this compliment—that Bentley is looking up, our price having been this day taken, and Olympic is also gain ing friends. We cannot cut the company of the gift of the trades of Chester in so laconic a style, for, by our quotations, it will be seen that some important alterations have occurred. The top figures continue to be awarded to Perseverance and Independence, both continuing in favour at a fraction beyond 6to 1, which is the top " offer." Birdcatcher has advanced very close upon the venerable much respected noble Lord of Knowsley's Grey, and we view him in all our sporting circles very much inquired after. The place that we this day week gave to Bridegroom is now laid claim to by Mr. Robinson's Solon. " Money makes the mare to go" is a saying as old as the hills, and if money, an influential and popular party, can make a gelding go (with a feather weight), why there is then the best of chances for Solon showing off on the banks of the Dec, in a more winning way than what he displayed last year at Manchester and other places, at all of which he bid the felicity to meet defeat, and that, too, by the true representatives of what " the Tenth" would call the " awkward squad." He is now at 10 to 1, having been booked from twenty to one to that figure in great and small sums, and supported in cross bets against his opponents in " The Card," with a spirit that would defeat any pen to describe. The on dit of the day is that he is to advance with his gigantic stride until he has gained the honour of being " first favourite." Alas! poor Bridegroom was on Saturday sent back full 4 points, and 60 to 50 betted that the mighty Solon beats him. The Cardinal, Mezereon, and old Mona's pride have all been taken upon, and will one and all see even a " better day." A few speculations have been made on the Austice Cup,but our sporting heroes are on the qui vier for " the forfeits," which will be with us on Wednes day, and then for business in veteran-like style. We expressed a hope in our last article that a " bumper entry" for our own meeting might draw from us the pleasing task of a compliment. From the brief sketch of the entries that will be found under the head of "Sporting Intelligence," in The Sun, it will at once be seen that we are not to have that pleasure. The outline that we offer to the notice of the reader is the entry (not yet made public) taken at Manchester. There may be a few in London, but those will not reach us until to-morrow evening, and should there be any they will be duly noticed by us. The weight of money given, nearly one thousand guineas, ought to have fetched us " better things ;" and we feel called upon to notice the regret we expe rienced at finding, generally speaking, the gentlemen imme diately connected with this great emporium of commerce (and hitherto very popular owners of the " high-mottled racer") neglect giving that patronage to the sports of Kersal Moor for 1834 that we think the inhabitants of Manchester and neigh bourhood must, with ourselves, have expected from their hands. What, most worthy and patient reader, can we ex pect will eventually become of our racing meeting if the " ri sing generation" in Manchester should follow in the footsteps of these Duke of Newcastle class of " liberals ;" who leave their own meeting to be cherished and upheld by countrymen and men from every country—yes, by Britons, who do not chuckle with having had that success in commerce, we think, in all human probability, was the " foundation_stone" for the .` green and gold jacket," the " drab sleeves," and the " yellow sleeves," ever floating on a British race-course ! As protectors of the turf, and men of Lancashire, they ought to have " " entered the ranks " of subscribers, named their bits of blood," and have continued to let the countless multitudes of ag 0 " the t t Our yarn is spun ; pray excuse a "long cut," and have an moor," o b aot e r 7 : s osn a ae s t igs s ofi v oe e dd l 1 turn t a h s a beaus" tdetisi eev ef a se t al N on N w : hatiownsmn e e h retire d n o f t r o f o m r eye to THN ODDS.
