Mr. GLADSTONE has already tired out the patience of the House, and if he will monopolise two-thirds of the time allotted to the discussion of public affairs, it follows as a matter of course that hon. members do not feel bound to dance attendance on him. There was no let or hindrance to his pro ceeding with his committee, but the spirit was found wanting to promote the discussion. Mr. LAMONT postponed his motion on the desirability of the expenses of Mr. EYRE being defrayed by the Government until next Tuesday as being more con venient, but it is worthy of notice that he presented a petition of a very significant character in favour of his proposal. Besides the names of many in fluential persons, thirty thousand signatures were affixed to it, and the petitioners expressed it as their opinion that the " speedy suppression of the re bellion in Jamaica was due to the skill, prompti tude, and vigour manifested by Mr. EYRE during its early stages,"and after referring to his deprivation of employment, and to the unceasing persecutions to which he bad been subjected by an irrespon sible body of persons styling themselves the Jamaica Committee, for offences for which, had he com mitted them at all, he would have been prosecuted by her MAJESTY'S Attorney-General, they con cluded by praying "the House to recommend to her MAJESTY the early re-employment of Mr. EYRE, and the repayment of the expenses to which he had been put by the prosecutions instituted against him." The reading of this was received with much cheering, and it is to be hoped that the attempt will be successful, for a more unjustly-persecuted man does not exist than the ex-Governor of Ja maica, and it is high time that something was done for him, not only for his own sake, but for the credit of the country. Mr. GLADSTONE encountered an attack directly the House got into committee on the Suspensory Bill, for Mr. SINCLAIR AYTOUN moved an Instruction which seemed to perplex every one. It provided that the tenure of all offices in the College of Maynooth should be put on the same footing as the bill purposes to place the benefices in the Irish Church, and consequently that no money shall be paid after this bill becomes law to the trustees of Maynooth for the support of the students. In explanation of this untoward scheme, Mr. AYTOUN contended that religious equality was desirable, and if the House decided upon the propriety of disendowing the Protestants, it should likewise refuse the aid of the State to the Roman Catholics. Colonel GREVILLE-NUGENT moved an amendment, and intimated that this Instruction would put a stop to the College of May nooth altogether, while Mr. GLADSTONE'S measure merely suspended the appointments of the Irish Church temporarily. The amendment proposed that any official who was appointed to Maynooth after the passing of this bill should hold office subject to the discretion of Parliament. Mr. GLADSTONE evidently found _himself in a regu lar " fix," and so great was his embarrassment that he actually appealed to the Government for assist ance. First of all, he pursued the attack by saying that the Instruction was too large and too small at the same time, and that it went now further than his proposal did regarding the Protestant Church. In the one case, while awaiting the ultimate ar rangements of Parliament, the functions should not fail to be discharged ; in the other, the entrance of the students into Maynooth would be stopped. flaying got this far the tight hon. gentleman de nounced the Instruction as imperfect, because it did not include the recipients of the Regium llonum. In the confusion worse confounded of the whole affair Mr. GLADSTONE next propounded the theory that it would be desirable to stop the execution of vested interest in the Itegium Donum and the Maynooth Grant if the bill was passed and it was upon this point that he in-, THE SUN, LONDDN, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1868. vo a k s d the aid of the Government. His course w e tihat the Executive must take part in a matter of t7jis kind, where the affair rested on the annual vot es of Parliament. The Government not choosing to respond to the call so pathetically made to the Ir istruction was rejected by a majority of seventy- ix. The troubles of the evening were not over with tb.'is division, however, for Colonel GREVILLE-NU GENT'S amendment had to be considered ; and, although he proposed to withdraw it being carried, Mr. GLADSTONE'S argument that it would be bet ter to wait the proposal was not assented to. Mr. GLADSTONE again requested the Government to pronounce an opinion on the merits of the ques tion, and Mr. HARDY, on the part of the Ministry, made a very sensible reply to the demand. He avowed that the Government did not wish to interfere at that part of the proceedings; but still, under the circumstances, he decided to support the amendment, on the grouna that it was just and advisable to give some notice to those likely to be affected by the provisions of the bill. Colonel KNOX declared that the Government had been fortunate in not falling into the trap laid for them, and whatever discredit attached to the bill belonged to the right hon. gen tleman opposite. Sir G. BOWYER'S remarks on the subject were of some importance. He contended that too many instructions were given to Commit tees, and that the practice was becoming abused. The other day there was an instruction to the Com mittee on the Scotch Reform Bill, and again in the Committee on the whole House with respect to the Irish Church interference was made. Certainly it is apt to invalidate the decisions of Parliament if so many important changes are made, and if it be pre-supposed that divisions are not the test they used to be, but must be subsequently changed on the invitation of this or that member as the case may be. Subsequently Colonel GREVILLE-NUGENT'S In struction was agreed to, with an addition inserted by Sir G. GREY, to the effect that it should apply to the recipients of the Regium Donum as well as of the Maynooth Grant. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved that the bill be committed that day six months, but not much was made of that except a few more pro tests being made against the principle of the mea sure. The bill finallyipassed through committee. We believe that Mr. GLADSTONE himself must feel the affair to have been rather a lame and impotent conclusion, but so far as the latter is concerned, he has gained his point, and proceeded to the stage de sired. What he and his friends expect to do now is a matter for consideration, for they can hardly expect it to pass the House of Lords. In the re peated discussion of a point that could not be settled, come what may, the Opposition has frittered away the time of the House in the most extraordinary manner ; but reason and re monstrances are thrown away upon them, and they must take their own course. It is, however, only just to expect that they will take the responsibility of their measure also, and not blame the Government for the session being wasted. We expect that before long Mr. GLADSTONE will repent his bar gain, and find that in his rash attempt Nto do too much at first he has undertaken more than he can manage. He will end by giving offence to all sides, because he has rushed at the scheme without taking sufficient time to weigh the matter atten tively ; but he must take his chance and make the best of this and of other inconveniences, since he has put himselfforward in so unnecessary a manner, and created so unexpected a hindrance to the carrying on of the business of the session. The arrival of the Russia, from New York, on the 27th ult., brings us news of the day following the decisive votes of the Senate. The Managers of the Impeachment Trial, and some of their prin cipal followers in the House of Representatives, appear to have been driven to desperation by their failure of the day preceding, and were attempting to revenge themselves upon their opponents by the most extravagant conduct. Immediately the ac quittal of the PRESIDENT was announced they had Mr. WooLLEr, a Democratic agent and witness at the trial, arrested on the charge of bribery and attempts to corrupt Senators. He was also charged with being in collusion with the Secretaries of the PRESIDENT. Mr. WOOLLEY declined to testify, no doubt being incensed at so outrageous an act, in the same way that Mr. HENDERSON and Mr. Ross resented the arbitrary interference of the Managers with their conduct at an earlier stage. Mr. WOOLLEY therefore remained in prison, though it is not quite clear on what ground the Managers are empowered to de tain him there. They have made a long report, asking the House to force CHARLES WOOLLEY to give evidence, and citing the testimony of THUR LOW WEED, who avowed that Senators were in duced to vote for acquittal by bribery. The manner in which the prosecutors profess to have discovered this plot is not a little suspicious. They seized all the telegraphic despatches of the Western Union Telegraph Company at the Washington offices. What would be easier than for agents of the Man agers themselves to send a few such incriminating messages, ready for the time of seizure ? The per sistency with which the Managers have accused the Democratic party of bribery and corruption, when all the world knows the pressure they have put upon the members of their own party,shows how thoroughly indifferent they are to everything but their particu lar object. The very journals of their own party cried shame on the unscrupulous manner in which every possible agency was employed to bring the wavering or doubtful Senators over to their side. Perhaps the Managers, relying on the majority which they are certain of having in the Home of Representatives, are even yet hoping to overthrow the decision of the Senate. They have yet eight Articles of Impeachment open on which to vote, and if they can succeed in getting rid of any of the minority they will very likely endeavour to re-open the question, so as even yet to carry their point. It shows in what estimation they are held by their countrymen that it was believed in many quarters that if possible the Senators from the newly recon structed Southern States would be hurried in so as to turn the scale against the PRESIDENT. Thanks to the Radical system of registration, by which nearly all whites of character and influence are excluded from the constituencies, while the votes of all the blacks are faithfully re corded. There is not much doubt as to the politics of the new Senators or Representatives either. If the question of bribery, corruption, and intimida tion be really opened, the Democrats will have some awkward facts to bring forwad, and in the present temper of the country it will not be easy to silence them. But there is another question to ask. Is the house of Representatives to be allowed to as sume the functions of the Executive and of the judicial tribunals in oue ? By what right do its members interrupt the course of ordinary business, seizing the despatches of the telegraphic officers, and imprisoning men without trial? America has long been threatened with a wholesale despotism, and here it is already begun. When the rights of the public and the liberties of the individual are trenched upon, we may be sure that the times are dangerous, and if the Americans are wise they will tale heed in time. The Managers of the Impeachment are bold and unscrupulous men, and it is fortunate for the nation at large that men of character and reputation, like FESSENDEN and TRUMBULL, have had the ability to denounce their unconstitutional proceedings, and the courage to resist them. The American foreign news is of some import ance. Mexico has not prospered since the over throw of MAXIMILIAN, for the internal insurrections are rather increasing than diminishing. All parties might unite in resisting what they held to be a common foe, but they are not inclined when the French have left them to their own devices to sub mit to JUAREZ any more than to MAXIMILIAN. The insurgents on the 17th ult. were in possession of the mountains round Puebla, and the States of San Luis Potosi, Tobasco, Queretaro, and Mexico were at their mercy. They had proclaimed Gene ral MARouEz Regent. At Hayti riots and dis turbances were the order of the day. SALNAVE had reached Port-au-Prince, and issued a proclama tion declaring that the consulates would be at tacked and extreme penalties inflicted if the refugees were sheltered. The consulates were crowded, and the American Minister had sent to Washington for assistance. From Ottawa we learn that witnesses in the M'GEE assassination case have been waylaid and beaten, a fact which seems to indicate that Fenian ism and its sympathisers are still extant in Canada, and the colonial authorities will do well to be on their guard. The good citizens of Havre are busy following the example set them by many other populous towns and cities on either side of the Channel. They are holding a grand international exhibition, which they term maritime, but which is by no means exclusively devoted to ships or naval com modities. There are, indeed, almost countless specimens of masts, sails, and rigging ; boats, anchors, lighthouses, and signals, oars, compasses, and what is of more importance specimens of the construction of iron and wooden vessels. There are, however, brilliant displays with which the sea and the sailor have nothing to do—porce laius and silks, jewels and bronzes, every kind of luxury, and even works of art, for statuary and painting are not wanting. Havre is a city of some present importance and considerable historical interest, and its Exhibition promises to be a brilliant success. NAPOLEON I. declared that Paris and Havre were only one city, of which the Seine was the principal street. However, Havre has an individuality of its own, which it would be very unwilling to merge even in that of the capital itself. Just now it is thronged with visitors, among whom are, of course, plenty of English, but we are sorry to find our country but poorly represented in the Exhibition itself. The galleries are not however full, fcr the building covers 80,000 square yards, so that there is yet time for some enter prising mortals to take advantage of the oppor tunity. Such exhibitions of these are of great social and commercial value, and tend to draw rival nations closer together, while giving a stimulus to their energies and destroying alike that indolent self-sufficiency and that exclusive monopoly which are the fetters and drawbacks to the commercial prosperity of a people.

PARIS, FRIDAY, June G~ There are rumours of great diplomatic changes. Princq Talleyrand, our Ambassador at St. Petersburg, wants to retire ; Baron Malaret is very uncomfortable at Florence' where he is as unpopular as a man can well be. Count sartiges, who has been induced for a consideration (the promise of a senatorship), to urge the claims of the Arch bishop of Paris to a cardinal's hat, has, on meeting with opposition to his request, uttered some very disrespectful words of the Pope's entourage. Even M. Bene detti, though on good terms with Count Bismarck, is said to find the anxieties and labours of his post too great for him. It is now pretty well certain that Count Bismarck has sent a letter to Baron von Beust, thanking him for his loyal policy towards Prussia, and his endeavours to preserve the peace of Europe.. It is supposed to be in consequence of this closer rapprochement between Prussia and Austria that the Emperor Francis Joseph has abandoned his intended visit to Paris. The France has a long article to point out how absurd the assertion that Prince Napoleon has no diplomatic object in his journey. The France very well remarks that it is impossible for a person in the Prince's position to visit the various Courts of Europe without having some motive. He is not like the Prince of Wales, who might travel anywhere and no one attach importance to his movements. Prince Napoleon is more in the position of a British Foreign Minister, whose wanderings to and frA on the earth would certainly excite the liveliest interest. To-day is the anniversary of the attempted assassination of the Czar as he was driving with Napoleon in the Bois de Boulogne last year. Captain Lubet, of the Paris Guard, is still suffering from the injuries which he received in his endeavours to prevent the crowd from murdering B6r6zowski. Nelaton has removed a tumour from the captain's left side, which caused him terrible pain. The patient is now, thanks to a capital con stitution, recovering. The Emperor has been suffering from sciatica lately, and there has been a consultation of physicians. He will visit the camp at St. Maur before going to Fontainebleau. By the way, admission to the camp has for some time past been refused to all civilians. It turns out that there were three men arrested at Rouen last Sunday after all ; yet not for a plot against the Emperor, but for carrying prohibited arms. The Pope, on the occasion of the first Communion of the Prince Imperial, sent him, by the hands of Cardinal Bonaparte, a precious relic surmounted with an ancient cameo of rare beauty. His Holiness accompanied the gift with an autograph letter, which those who have heard it read say is most touching. In connection with this matter I may mention that it is usual, whenever the Emperor leaves the Tuileries for one of the Imperial chateaux, for the senior ambassador to pay his respects. This ambas sador happens to be the Papal Nuncio, and so when Mgr. Chigi waited upon the Emperor the other day, their Majesties thanked him warmly, on behalf of the Pope, for the interest which his Holiness had taken in the Prince Imperial. The model lodging-houses which the Emperor has had constructed in the Avenue Daumesnil are now all occu pied. They have been handed over to a society which has engaged to build others upon the same plan in other parts of Paris. The recent debate on railways in the Corps L4gislatif must make the majority of English railway shareholders inclined to break the tenth commandment. As your readers are no doubt aware, the State guarantees the pay ment of the interest on the share capital of a large number of the railways. But the Northern Railway has not had to claim the guarantee. The Lyons sees its annual revenue reach eight millions sterling, and offers to include 734 miles of the new network (which has not been guaranteed) with the old. The Orleans offers an analogous reduction for the line from Paris to Tours, and will thus diminish its guaranteed capitalby 23,360,000 ; the Southern has a deficiency of only £6BO ; and the Eastern is executing an important line without asking for any subvention. The total Imperial guarantee is £7,360,000, and the produce of the guaranteed railways is £26,240,000. So that there is a wide margin of safety. The earnings increased more than £2,000,000 last year. But this, no doubt, was due in considerable measure to the Exhibition. The only unfavourable feature is the enormous cost of construction of new lines. This is not less than £22,000 per mile, a heavy sum considering how large a part of France offers no engineering difficulties. I should add that M. Pouyer-Qnertier, of Protectionist celebrity, does not believe in the prosperity of our railways, and in the course of a violent speech in the Corps Ldgislatif declared that the Orleans Railway was virtually bankrupt. I sadly fear that the new Press Law will prove even less liberal than the Opposition members in the Corps Legislatif prophesied. The Temps is to be prosecuted for some articles it has published respecting Algeria, but which have not, so far as I know, exceeded fair criticism. After this there can be little hope that the circular just issued to the prefects respecting the enforcement of the new law is in favour of lenity. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY.

The change is greatest at Nairn, where it exceeds Olin. Temperature has risen generally. Winds in the west have been southerly, and of moderate force : on our other coasts they have been variable. This morning winds generally are from between south and west ; they are light in the south, but fresh in Sco tl an d. Fog and mist have prevailed in the west, and is reported from a few stations. It is said that the position of Prince Hohenlohe, Prime Minister of Bavaria, and representative of that country in the Customs Parliament, is seriously menaced, it being thought that he does not sufficiently stand up for his country in defiance of Prussia. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Herald, re ferring to some angry articles which have appeared lately in the semi-official papers of Paris and Berlin, says : " Without exaggerating the significance of inspired' newspaper articles, it is difficult to avoid seeing that there is a quarrelsome disposition growing fast on both sides of the Rhine. It would be odd if it were otherwise. The military preparations of France, which is being turned into one huge camp; the bill to enable the Government to call out next year's contingent by anticipation ; the nagging tone of the Constitutionnel, congratulating the King of Prussia on his having made a de claration which never fell from his lips (and never entered his thoughts),—all these things produce some impression at Berlin, and that impression is not favour able. The Prussians are no fools, and they can hardly fail to see what the French Government is aiming at. The only question is, when will the crash come ? I have already told you that I did not believe there was any chance of it this year, but I should not like to give long odds on the maintenance of peace." The Avenir National explains how it is that a Liberal Ministry has been constituted in Holland without containing Herr Thorbecke. When that states man, in obedience to the Royal summons, waited upon King William HI., his Majesty overwhelmed him with reproaches. He told Thorbecke that he had emb:V,ered the existence of the Van Zuylen Ministry, had prevented the formation of another Minis try, had resolved to sacrifice everything and everybody to his ambitious desire of directing the Government. " As for me," said the King, "I, the descendant of William the Silent, am not going to be made a mere puppet, a roi fainéant, reigning but not governing. The Dutch Consti tution is not the English," he added ; and more angry words followed, ending with a command to form a Cabinet forth with. Of course, after such a reception as this, Thorbecke found it difficult to obtain colleagues who would associate themselves with him. Hence considerable delay, and at last the King sent for him and insisted that he should consti tute a Ministry in 24 hours. Thereupon he abandoned the task, which has now been completed by Van Boss; kßwa chiefly asp, financier, 4341_49_1rienci of Thorbecke'e. SPORTING OPINIONS. THE ASCOT AND BEVERLEY MEETINGS. For the Ascot Meeting, which commences on Tuesday and concludes on Friday, a bill of fare, rich in attractions, has been published, and the " cream" of the horses in training will probably compete for the prizes offered at the royal gathering. In Tuesday's card eight races stand for decision, and the Ascot Stakes (2i miles) has secured 49 nominations. The acceptances, however, are not pub lished till this (Saturday) evening, at six o'clock. The handicap is on the heavy scale, Dalesman and West wick each having been weighted at 9st 91b, which is a, steadier over this severe course. The horses wo take to bo most dangerous are Mandrake, Bst 121 h ; Jasper, ist 101 b; Nyanza, Gst 61h; The Dean, 6st 41b; Wild Briar, Gst 31b; Whitworth, 6st 21b; Safety, Gst; and Demon stration, sst 71b. From this lot we most esteem the chances of Baron Rothschild's and Mr. Johnstone's representatives, which may be found in the The Dean and Jasper.. In the Gold Vase (2 miles) Speculum, Julius, Blinkhoolle, Tyue dale, Dalesman, Suffolk, and the Miss Sarah colt have been engaged; but the prize will be won by Julius, if he enters an appearance. The names in the Queen's Stand Plate (T.Y.C.) are Viridis, Van Aniburgli, Ni, Sister to First Flight, Brigantine, The Dean, and Sea Breeze. Xi is re markably fast, but over this course we shall rely on Bri gantine, who displayed fine speed at Newmarket. The Prince of Wales's Stakes (1 mil 5 furlongs) has been strongly patronised, as not fewer than 1;30 names are found therein, amongst which are Moslem, Formosa, St. Ronan, King Alfred, Restitution, Vale Royal, Lady Elizabeth, See-Saw, Athens, Ouragan, Glenderg, The Parson, Banditto, Bel Gioruo, Michael de Basco, Europa, Lady Highthorn, and Blueskin. The issue, how ever, will rest with Moslem (51b extra), Formosa (gib extra), and King Alfred. Between the Two Thousand Guineas dead-heaters a fine race will again be witnessed ; but, although Formosa meets Moslem on 41b worse terms than she did over the Rowley mile, we shall, believing her to be the better stayer, trust Mr. Graham's splendid filly, who, however, find a troublesome opponent in King Alfred. For the Eleventh Ascot Biennial Stakes (T.Y.C.) 64 two-year-olds have been entered, many of which are in the "dark" division. The most noteworthy names in the list are Sister to Hermit, Standard Bearer, Nyl Gau, Lord Hawthorn, Electricity, Bradgate, Brother to Cainbuscan, Brother to Chattanooga, Alpenstock, Tenedos, Goodwood, Archduke, Martyr, Champagne Charlie, Atha nor, Wild Oats, Glen Rosa, the filly by Atherstone out of Overture's dam, and Sister tc Tomato. No penalties at tach to previous winners, and, therefore, as Sister to Her mit is shaped to act well up hill, we shall associate her with Archduke, who is a splendid Macaroni colt, and pro bably the best in Mr. Naylor's powerful team. There are 41 nominations to the Fourteenth Ascot Triennial Stakes (once round and in), but, as Vauban is not fit, the race will rust between Achievement, Taraban, Mandrake, Roque fort, and Van Amburgh. As Achievement does not incur a penalty, however, the stake is quite at the mercy of Col. Pearson's matchless filly. There are seven races in Wednesday's card, five of which are completed. The Royal Hunt Cup (new mile) maintains its popularity, and this year sixty-six horses have been handicapped in connection with this event. The weights, however, have been most injudiciously distri buted, and the handicapper must have forgotten the per formance of Eastley with Paul Jones and Kingsland in the Goodwood Nursery. The horses most favourably treated in the Hunt Cup are Jasper, Bst 51b; Mr. Pitt, Bst; See- Saw, ist 91b ; Master Willie, 7st 71b ; Fakir, Est 1316 ; Usurper, Est 1 Olb ; The Dean, Gst 71b; Slanderer, 6st 61b; Lord Palmerston, Est 41b ; and Eastley, sst 101 b. Already Eastley has been made a strong favourite, and unless The Dean is the good horse we take him to be, this Cup will be won by the first named. The Feruhill Stakes (about 4 furlongs) will furnish an interesting contest if Sister to Hermit, Leonie, Grimstou, Blue Gown, Athena, Badsworth, Cocoa Nut, and De Vere come together. When Leonie and Blue Gown last met—over the 5 furlongs 140 yards course at Newmarket—Sir Joseph Hawley's colt was an easy winner. On the half mile, however, we shall trust Leonie, believing the daughter of Newminster invincible over that distance. Thirty fillies have been engaged in the Coronation Stakes (old mile), the best of whom are Lady Elizabeth, Green Sleeve, Idalia, Mysotis, Bouquetiere, Leonie, Athena, Contempt, and Pearlfeather. Lady Eliza beth will not be fit to run, and consequently this rich stake should be won by Green Sleeve, who ought to defeat Loonie and Athena, the most formidable of her probable op ponents. The Ascot Derby (S winley course) will be secured by Suffolk or The Earl, who have nothing better to beat than Ouragan, Tympanum, Lymington, Phoebus, Charon, and Thunderstorm. In the Tenth Biennial Stakes (old mile) sixty-seven three-year-olds have been nominated, but there will not be more than eight runners, to be se lected from St. Ronan, Suffolk, Nyanza, Vale Royal, Nelusko, Tympanum, The Earl, Sea Saw, Clemen..:e, Pic nic, and Europa. The Sixteenth Triennial S takes (T.Y.C.) may be won by the Hermione colt, although he will have to meet some smart juveniles in Achiever, Vladimir, and others, belonging to the " dark" school. Thursday is the Cup day, and for that coveted prize, which is run for over the 21 miles course, the following amongst other horses have been entered : Hippia, Achievement, Speculum, The Earl, Lady Elizabeth, Lec turer, Patrician, Virtue, Tynedale, Mercury, Friponuier, Trocadero, D'Estournel, and Ruy Bias. Singular to relate, the Duke of Newcastle has nominated Speculum in preference to Julius, but the last named, in our judgment, is the only horse in training capable of beating Achiev,e ment, for whom we anticipate a clever victory, not with standing the high class character of her probable opponents. The New Stakes (T.Y.C.) has a magnificent entry of seventy, and nearly all the "crack" two years olds iu train ing have been nominated for it, as the list includes the names of Masaniello, Belladrum, Lady Dewhurst, Martyr, Director, Sister to Hermit, the Vergiss-mein-Nicht filly, (each 51b extra), Standard Bearer, Brother to Cam buscan, Brother to Chattanooga, Wild Oats, Chatel herault, Sister to Rosicrucian, L'OiSe, Archduke, Goodwood, Antias, Tenedos, Runaway, Thirlestane, Saladin, Odessa, Bradgate, the filly by Oulston out of Crucifixion, and the colt by Tim Whiner out of Hermione. The majority of these are highly bred ; but Masaniello and Belladrum aro the pair wo shall elect to be represented by, preferring their chances in the order written. The All aged Stakes (new mile) has twenty-two subscriptions ; but the race reads like a match between The Hermit and Lanaret, the Derby winner for choice. In the St. James's Palace Stakes (old mile) Restitution appears the most trustworthy candidate at this dato, as St. Ronan, The Ear], and others have several prior engage ments. The Sixth New Biennial Stakes (T.Y.C.), a race for two and three year olds, has attracted thirty-six nomi nations; but the contest will be confined to Vale Royal, Seo Saw, Lady Dewhurst, and Chillia,nwallah ; and if Lady Dewhurst can cut down Vale Royal she will be proclaimed the winner. For the Fifth New Biennial Stakes (old mile) Formosa is penalised 121 b ; but if she can beat St. Ronan, Mr. Graham will be the recipient of the stakes. The only closed races for Friday at present are the Alexandra Plato and the Fifteenth Triennial Stakes. Post entrances are allowed for the Alexandra Plate (about 3 miles) up to this day (Saturday); and if Julius is not en tered, Achievement will win, as the pick of the horses no minated against Colonel Pearson's filly up to this date are Westwick, Taraban, Ruy Blas, Lozenge, Tyndale, Lec turer, Patrician, Trocadero, Friponnier, Romping Girl, the Miss Sarah colt, and the Maid of Masham colt. The Beverley Mooting will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, and, although it unfortunately clashes with that at Ascot, the Yorkshire gathering is to be well patronised by the Northern trainers. The programme is made up of 12 races, equally distributed over the two days. The principal features in "Wednesday's list are the Bishop Burton Stakes, the Beverley Cup, the Gritnston Plate, and the Londesborough Handicap. In the Bishop Burton Stakes (four furlongs 105} yards) 27 two year olds have been engaged, and the most noteworthy of these are The Hind, Lady Dewhurst, Hawthornside, Zapolya, Martyr, The Vet, Dryad, and Hector. Hawthornside, by Stock well out of Dutchman's Daughter, is a beautiful filly, and is said to belong to a superior class. Nevertheless, despite the 71b penalty each filly has to put up, we prefer the chosen of Watson's pair, The Hind or Lady Dewhurst. The horses accepting for the Beverley Cup (11 miles) are, with fow exceptions, so indifferent in quality, that we shall not be surprised to find Three per Cent. or Viscount attract the notice of the judge. The Grimston Plate (1 mile) we award to Lady Zetland or Amendment; the Londes borough Handicap (4 furlongs 1051 yards), to Lady Lyon or Lady Allcash ; and the Farmers' Cup (2 miles), to Scar rington. On Thursday The Sawyer or Liberal should win the East Riding Handicap (11 miles); Lady Zotland or Master Tom the Hull Stakes (about 6 furlongs) ; Sister to Little Agnes or Honestish the Westwood Cup Of miles); and Rap the Hold .rness Hunt Stakes (2 miles.) The following horses were sold by auction at West Drayton on Tuesday last after running in their different engagements :—lfenry L, 3 yrs, to Mr. Walker, for 100 gs ; Arliadi, 3 yrs, to Mr Smith, for 65gs; Wild Dovo, 5 yrs, to Mr. Marsh, for 20 sovs, to go abroad; Carolina, to Mr. Butcher, for llgs; Diamond, 4 yrs, to Mr. Andrews, for 63gs; Ada, by LAmbton, 4 yrs, to Mr. Potter, for 70gs ; Lucinda, by Marsyas, 2 yrs, to Mr. Goorge, for GOgs. NEWCASTLE-OS-TYNE RACES --Tile following stakes will close for this meeting on Tuesday ❑ext : —The Town Plato of GO sovs for all ages, entrance 2 sovs each, T.Y.C., New course; and the Freemen's Nursery of 100 sovs, for two year olds only, entrance 3 sovs each, T.Y.C., New Course. STOCKBRIDGE.—The Visitors' Plate closal with 80 en tries, the Railway Plate with 29 entries, the Beaufort Han dicap with 23 subs, the Uxbridge Plato with 27 subs, the the Hastings Plato with 31 entries, the Danebury Nur sery with 50 entries, the Westmorland Plate with 21 en - trios, and the Johnstone Plate with 42 entries. The Gentle men's Derby closes hi the Hampton week. At the North fleas Yeomanry Races yesterday (Fri day), the following animals were sold by auction : Henry 1., three years, to Mr. Garman, for 13gs ; Panther, aged, to Mr. Yates, for 38gs ; Storm, aged, to Mr. Allen, tor 22ge ; and ituriol, aged, to_ktr. Woodward, for 33ge. Efri - 10 ' i Net a HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, June 3.

At the recent soirée at King's College, London, held on the occasion of the distribution of prizes to the students of the evening classes department, the Archbishop of York, who occupied the chair as pre sident of the meeting, adverted at considerable length to the dal - 3s for instruction in public read ing and speaking, of which C. J. Plumptre, Edq., barrister-at-law, is lecturer. his Grace said, " that in his opinion there was no sub ject of more general importance than this. It was scarcely possible to attend any church or public assembly of any kind, without meeting with in stances of defective articulation, inaudibility, indistinctness of utterance, or other faults in delivery. In place of clear, fluent, enunciation, true expression and feeling, we too often meet with instances in which the reading and speaking were characterised by the ab sence of almost every requisite that should mark a good delivery. He himself had not seldom heard readers and speakers iu which all the five vowels were so untruly sounded, that it was really difficult to say which vowel was the one intended to be uttered. There were also often strong pro vincialisms, and other faults, in the intonation and pronunciation, which, with care and at tention, could often be speedily removed under the instruction of an able and judicious teacher, but which, while they existed, were most unpleasing to persons of refined ear and cultivated taste. These various faults in delivery which he had enumerated too often marred the effect of our Church services, the reading of the Holy Scriptures, and the delivery of sermons. He therefore saw, with great gratifi cation, that in this department of King's College there were lectures and instruction given in the art of public reading, and attended by so large a class, and that prizes also were awarded for excellence in elocution." With regard to public speaking, which he sasv was in the syllabus coupled with instruction in public reading, his Grace said " that if, as he under stood, was meant by this, the actual practice in th e art of discussion, of clothing thoughts in clear and fluent language addressed to others, and so acquiring case and expression in delivery, as well as confidence and self-possession, it was deserving of every encouragement, and met with his warmest approval ; for few things were more painful to witness than the nervousness, hesitation, and embarrassment of an untrained speaker, who often had excellent matter for a speech, but knew not how to deliver it, from want of train ing and practice. In this country, and in this age, almost every great religious, political, and social movement was effected by the agency of public speaking, and the advantages of being well versed in this art, as well as in that of public reading, were becoming every day more apparent." We (the institute and Lecturers' Gazette) under stand that INIr C. J. Plumptre's class has always been one of the largest and most popular since be was appointed to the lectureship of public reading and speaking in this department of King's College, and there can be no doubt that the Archbishop's remarks will tend more to increase such popularity. LORD FAIRFAX.—The motto of this illustrious family, the head of which is at present residing in Cali fornia, is " Speak and Act." The following anecdote re lating to the present peer is authentic, and really deserves recording as being so apposite to the motto. In the spring of the year 1859 Lord Fairfax was walking home, accom panied by the Chief Justice of California and two other friends, when he was met by a Reporter of the Supreme Court of California, named Henry Lee. It appears that Lee thought Lord Fairfax had in some way tried to injure him, and therefore accused him of so doing, a charge which his lordship denied ; Leo rejoined in an insolent and most offensive manner that he did not believe him, substantial y giving the lie, evidently desiring that Lord Fairfax should strike him; ho effected his object, his lordship striking him on the face, and, in return, Lee struck at him with a light cane, within which was concealed a long dagger. Lord Fairfax caught the cane in his left hand; Lee sprang back, drew the dagger quickly from the cane, and inflicted on his lordship two terrible wounds, one through his left breast and the other in his side. Lord Fairfax had drawn a " Derraiger" pistol, and presented it, cocked, in time to prevent Lee making a third thrust. In a moment, Lee threw up his arms and cried out, "Don't kill me, lam unarmed !" (all this occurred in an incredibly short space of time,—before any one had time to interfere, or even realize that a deadly assault had been made.) Lord Fairfax, who is a splendid shot, had him covered at not more than six feet distant, and could have killed him beyond any possible doubt. Still pointing his pistol at Lee's head, his lordship replied, "You miserable coward, you have murdered me—you have assassinated me, and I have your worthless life in my hands ; but, for the sake of your wife and child, I shall spare you." Cries, at this, were raised from the crowd of " Shoot him, Fairfax !" " Kill him !" " a Don't spare bins !" and the like. Stand ing erect and looking Leo full in the face, and hold ing the pistol as before, Lord Fairfax replied, " No, I wont't kill him!" and then addressing Lee, said, "Re collect, I have your life in my hands, and I spare it, not on your worthless account, for you are an assassin and a coward, but because of your wife and child." With that he dropped his pistol hand, uncocked the pistol, handed it to a gentleman who was with him, and said in a hurried, low voice, "He has killed me ! support me !"—Froo Debrett's Illustrated Peerage. A violent thunderstorm, three days back, broke over Chambery, Savoy. A company of the 47th Regiment of the Line, which was practising shooting, broke up when the rain began to fall, and some of the men took shelter under the trees on the roadside. In an instant afterwards the lightning fell upon a chesnut under which were six soldiers, one of whom was killed on the spot, and the others were more or less burnt. On the arms of the man who lost his life appeared the exact delineation of a branch of the tree. METROPOLITAN POLICE.—The following par liamentary pkper was published yesterday :—Estimate o the cost of the augmentation of 1,120 men to the Metro politan Police Force for the year ending 31st day of March, 1869, viz. :—Pay, .£70,500 ; clothing and equipments, £9,000; incidental charges, including rent, taxes, and repairs of section houses, furniture, coals, lanterns, medi cal attendance, stationery, Ste., £8,600. Total estimated cost, .£BB,IOO.—MAURICE DRUMMOND, Receiver.—May 28, 1868. THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT, 1866.—1 t has been ascertained by the Select Committee of Lords now sitting on the Contagious Diseases Act, 1866, that during the first quarter of 1868, 1,535 women have been brought under the:operation of the Act at the military and naval stations. Of these only four needed to be proceeded against by information, and all the rest submitted them selves voluntarily. It appears, also, that out of 6 16 women detained in the hospital at Devonport since the Act was put in force, 35 per cent. have been reclaimed and restored to honourable pursuits.—British Medical Journal. The Channel squadron of ironclads, under the command of Rear-Admiral Frederick Warden, C. 8., sailed from Portland Harbour at half-past 11 on Thursday last. At that hour signal was made to weigh anchor, and the whole squadron, including the Helicon, despatch stoma vessel, and Pigeon, gunboat, steamed from the harbour apparently in two grand divisions. Their movement s outside the breakwater were not observable from the shore , owing to the fog which prevailed at the time. The desti nation of the fleet is said to be first to Ireland, afterward S to cruise in the chops of the Channel.
