LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 1.

Ir the Emperor 1.1 APOLEON could have foreseen
the glorious event of the Slat of May on Epeom
Downs, we cannot help thinking that he would
have abstained from making a public scandal of

his Cousin's indiszretion, aid, as head of a !some-
what troublesome family, contented himself with
administering a confidential reprimand. It was so
easy to let the folly or the mischief, if mischief
there were, blow over. In leas than a week the
Parisians—la peuple is plus vaudeeiliste de la toys
—would have forgotten all about the " colossal
" statue" and the programme of St. Helens. The

PRIFCK might have frightened Senators and Minis-
ters„ the majority of the Legislative Corps, and a
host of devoted " subaltern agents" out of tkeir
wits, bat he would not bavegained a single adherent
in the Liberal party, and the lbersaoit would has e
used him at ono* as a bugbear and a decoy, instead
of throwing him like a Christian martyr ad (cones
—to be torn in pieces by the ridicule of the opposi-
tion and the rage of courtiers. It is not too late, per-

hapa, even now to repair the damage of these
family manifestoes by a generous invitation to for-
get and forgive on both sides. Fortunately the
great French victory of yesterday comes most
opportunely to divert the ears of the French public
from the echoes of Ajaccio and Algeria, and to rally
them round the throne of a Harms.= who has
not only contemplated the invasion of this island,
but actually achieved it, and defeated the flower
of the English chivalry within au easy distance of
the capital, in the presence of the Heir to the
Throne, of many thousands of her Manzi r's
subjects, and of a vast multitude of
spectators assembled from all parts of the world.
Last year, when a French mare won the Oaks, the
Jockey Club in Paris was illuminated, and in even/
circle of "Sport" throughout France the victory was
celebrated with an enthusiasm more spontaneous
and more unanimous than that which the battles
of Magenta and Solferino called forth. When an
English Derby horse was beaten at Chantilly last
year all the French newspapers rejoiced in the
conviction that the English people must be furious
at the disgrace. The EMPOROB., it was reported, was
aotuslly wild with excitement, laughed aloud, and
clapped his hands, and almost threw up his hat
with joy; the icy calmness of the Sovereign was
dissolved in patriotic emotion, and his heart
throbbed responsive to the exultation of his people.
Once when there was • show of displeasure in the
English Ring at the strangely contradictory per
of • certain French animal, to the heavy
loss of misguided bookmakers, our neighbours
jumped to the conclusion that the jealousy of the
English had almost caused an hneute, and that the
French mare had to be guarded, like a French
emperor, by • corps of secret police
agents, disguised as prizefighters. In their
honest innocence of the Turf, it never occurred
to the French journalists that French or English
animals or stables, is all the same to the symp4
thies of the Ring. How should they know that
an English trr'ner had been mobbed and nearly
killed at Doncaster when it was suspected that his
horse was " pulled"?
By degrees, however, our ingenious neigh-
bours are becoming a little more awake to
the realities of the racing world. They will vet/
properly treat yesterday's triumph as • national
event, and, as we can well afford to put them in
good humour at our expense, it is far better that
they should have a victory of this kind to celebrate
as a national event than • defeat. The victory
they will not dispute ; a defeat they would perhaps
set down to English "perfidy," being all uncon-
scious of the number of perfectly patriotic Britons
who were standing to yin on the French hone,
and frantically cheering his colours down the
course. For our own part, we would earnestly
deprecate the thought of disturbing the honest
complacency of our simple-minded guests from the
other side of the water by suggesting that a French
winner of the Derby is a mere " geographical ex-
pression," since whether French orEnglish by birth
or blood, the winner was trained by an English
trainer and ridden by an English jockey. Media-
teur was " bred " in France ; his dam,
we believe, was English, and his sire came
certainly of English stock. Every horse in
every French racing stable comes of English 'tea.
There is no such animal in existence as • race-
horse of pure French)good. Every race-hone in
Europe that has ever yet been beard of, or is likely
to be heard of soon, is of Englisbstook once or twice
removed. The oldest French blood in any French
stable dates from the Second Empire, or
it may be, in some few instances, from
LOMB PHILITIM'S reign, when a single
English nobleman's stable constituted the French
"turf." This simple and obvious state of the case,
betrayer, will not, we delight to believe, oast a
thedow upon the satisfaction of our neighbours.
lieppose a yacht, built at Gosport, manned and
Italie by an English crew or captain, but owned
tik.s Freoodoino, to win the sup at Cowes or at
;4 we are confident that Frenchmen would
151' as proud of her victory as if the yacht had
bees bait end maimed at Beset. Be, toe, if the
Paris Cricket Club, represented by eleven British
midents, were to COMO over and but a Kent 0!
