any change There is still much talk of the forth-
coming bane .1 railway obligations. It is said that
the Bank of France will undertake the operation,
and that the new obligations will be offered to the

expectation of this new issue makes the market for
oblqpitions very weak.
La ti,.14114 /riandaise, the advent of which I
aimounsiel s-'me days ago, is out to-day. I see by
Beitur's inorreepoisdonce that the authorship is
attributed to M. H. Marie Martin, of the Condi-
tetims..el. lam not very well up in modern Irish
grievances, my attention having been principally
directed of late years to the grievances of a nation
which is not at liberty to make quite as much
Mane about them as Ireland is free to do. I had,
however, a vague and genvkal notion that within
the last quarter of a century a good deal had been
done to anie:iorate the condition of the Irish people,
and that an incontestable diminution of pauperism,
and a spirit of content unprecedented in the history
of that portion of the British empire, had borne
witness to the h meaty and efficacy of the endea-
vours of the imperial legislature to do " justice to
Ireland." This pamphlet, however is made up
chiefly of extracts from O'Connell's agitation
speeches and the authorities which he was in the
habit of citti.g. It is assumed that "Saxon op-
premien' is to this hour as keenly felt as it was in
the days of Henry 11. or Cromwell, and that the
bulk of the nopulation thinks of nothing else than
how to obtain deliverance from a foreign yoke.
The "Great Deliverer," who, if he had not so
ninny irons iu the tire, would, perhaps, turn his
attention to Ireland, is, of course, Napoleon lII.
the only sovereign who goes to war for an " idea"—
but the pamphlet, while apologising for the Empe-
ror's non-intervention for the present on account of
Lis many oc,aq.ations, is careful to say that the
Irish mind, rc a#6ndant, is running upon Patrick
the First, which, according to the pamphleteer, is
the title conferred by the Irish people upon the
French Marshal MacMation, Duke of Magenta. I
most do this brilliant and most estimable general
officer the justice to say, that he has always shown
the utmost superciliousness, consistent with com-
mon courtesy, to the attempts made to fasten upon
him any peculiar sympathy with Ireland on aecount-
of his Irish deco eat. He is a Frenchman to all in-
tents and purposes, and has no notion of lending
111, name to any such bygone and ridiculous adven-
ture as a repeal agitation. The pamphlet speaks
of " tinianc:, at will" as if it were a peculiar tenure
of land inventel by the Saxon for the oppression of
Ireland. Willi eit expressing any opinion upon
the greet " tenant right" question, which has been
5" often '-duel in parliament, I cannot refrain
from tote author of this pamphlet that
the poorest Irish cotter holds hie patch of ground
in der precisely the same laws as those which
regulate the relation of landlord Rad tenant in
England.. The maxim that " property has its
dlttloS AS well as its rights" of late years mitigated
the indisputable legal proposition that * man may
do what Le will with his own," more in Ireland
than in any other part of the world. The pamphlet
talks of evictions as if they were peculiar to Ire-
land. He speaks of "proems servant" and "drivers"
as if they were peculiar officers of torture unknown
to any other country. I don't happen to know
what are t'..e r.an:es of the officers who carry into
executions jusipient of ejectment in Francs ; but
I know this, that if any householder in Paris doe*
not pay his rent at 12 o'clock on the day when it
is clue he may be turned out before sunset, and his
bed, a tabll aral a couple of chairs (which the law
does not allow to be seised) will be shoved out.
into the street by a legal functionary, who is
quite as peremotory in his proceedings as any Irish
process server " or driver that ever was seen.
Moreover, Viere is this distinction in favour of the
Irish poor man, that in the remotest parish there
is at least a priest who will send any case of oppres-
sou to the newspapers, whereas in France it would
be a difficult thing to repair any cane of a harsh
ejectment without being had up for "an attack
upon the princi;de of property." The " Irish Exo-
dus " us pointed out as a striking piece of evidence
of the cal-government of England. You may per-
haps have been under the impression that the care
taken of the emigrants by government precautions,
proiipenies colonies ready to receive them, anal
the reports of Ce earliest settlers to their friends,
had favietred the movement which, even assuming
that it may have gone s little too far, was in the maim
exceedingly beneticio I. But the pamphlet would
make its readers believe that all the emigrants were
outcasts, toned out of house and home by cruel
landlords, and that moat of them died on board bad
transport ships provided by government for the ex-
press purpose of killing them. The minima of this
very ridiculous rimphlet is disclosed by the con-
cluding lines, ,ech are as follows :
We do not yet ask fur ea intervention of Europe to
restore to Ireland her national institutiens. Europe cannot
ottend to everything at once. But we think that in no
ism would friendly remembrances amid counsels be better
instiAed than in favour of this country, so unjustly treated,
and which, is sr'te of its ptutoeNrl misfortunes, still pos.
eam such a povrerful vita ty. cause of Ireland, more
thus any other, deserves that Europe should apply to her
those !nib's words of the Emperor, " France has an ie. '
tercet wherever there is • just lied civilising cause to he
served." It may he that the present politSal situation is
ant favourabie to the hopes of Ireland ; hot the moment
way Dome; Ire:ond has faith, sad lolsed waits. It is
fur al. to free sheens that, whomver Europe likes
Lnauedile it ap, th ,re is aa Irish quisition.
Admiral Parseval Desetienes wan buried to-day
with great pomp. The funeral service was per-
formed at the Chapel of the Invalidea, which was
hung with black. A battalion of every regiment
of the army of Paris, with the colonel at its head,
followed the hearse to the Northern Cemetery.
The Proynis of Hayti, just received, publishes
the following letter from Victor Hugo, in reply to
one from the editor, M. E. Heurteloup, thanking
him for his eloquent defence of John Brown:
Hauteville Howe, Amber, March 31, 1860.

That is a qesetion which naturaliets may discuse—thie much

FOUR DAYS IN HAIIIPSHIRIE.
TO rna mTTOI 11/ TILI
Stn,—The long debate in the Howe of Lords on
Taseday last Ins ateuhed In the withdrawal of Lord Reda-
dale's pet bill on the uederstendies YU the Jockey Club
will taU tie natter in heed ; still, hie lordship virtually ac-
, knowledge' • defeat, as even his reduced 'minimum of Est
maid not be liaised to, and if the deb eiroceeds in raising
the student to sst 716 it is aa meek as they will be able to
I accomplish. Tbi., however, with the raising of the old
Sat 7lb standard • few pounds, will prove really a boon to
the Turf, and his lordship is fairly entitled to the thanks of
the sporting community for having broached the subject,
however mistaken he may have been in the idea that ex-
treme heavy weights would remedy existing evils, or that
the present breed of horses could be improved. The pro-
gmnimes for (Mihaly, the Bibury Club, Stockbridge, and
Winchester, contain three handicaps when the weight. go
below Set ; and in the Amport Handicap there is •
" 4st 1216," with the top-weight 94 Sib, so that had the
Jockey. Club already fixed the minimum at Set 71b, we
sh
have three annuls carrying a stone and upwards
more than "racing weight," 'and • sufficient proof would
be afforded that they had gone quite far enough.
At Wiliam, the lot in the principal Handicap, one mile
and • half, are so moderate that the weights only range
from eat 12Ib to Set 101 b, and Gorsehill, 5 yrs, Ast 416,
appears formidable among them ; the Greek, 4 yrs, Sat 51b,
standing next best on the list, as he ran in front for • mile
and • half in the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes. St.
Clarence, 4 yrs, 7st 81b, has nothing to complain
of in the Manor Plate, seeing he was always second-beat
to Mouravieff for the Triennial at Ascot, and made him
gallop at the finish, despite his dislike for the two miles ;
and Rupert can carry Rot 9th over half a mile in such indif-
ferent company as he will meet for the Dogmersfield Park
Handicap, although I doubt his giving 9th to the good:look-
ing Southport. The prim of the cteet value is the
Hurstbourne Stakes, for two-ear half • mile, for
which Big Ben and the King of Kent ve nb penalties,
sad Overton and Letty West :fib allowances ; the 11116 should
consequently give the latter the beet of rt, if equal to the
reputation she brought with her to Asian, and I anticipate
• great improvement on her performance thee.. The
Stewards' Stakes and Ladies Plate have yet to close.
The Bibury Club Meeting follows that at (Wham, and
three of the six items are already complete. The•Cham-
pane Stake., for two-year-olds, five furlongs, ban but a poor
entry, and the form of the public performers is so lad that
• selection is out of the question, as the winner is pretty
certain to spring from the "dark" lot. A two and three-
year-old Handicap, exhibits Frivol& in • favour-
able light, even with Pat 51b, those of her own year being
very moderate, and the only youngsters that have shown
form are Malta., 2 yrs, Tat 916, and Cronstadt, 2 yrs, Est 1016,
the latter's mooed to Rainbow's younger Brother at Saha.
burr, and to King of Kent at Hungerford, entitling him to
the preference. For the Bibtuy Handicap, one mile and a
half, Man-at-Arms, 3 yrs, 104 irlb, with his owner' up,"
would take some beating, as he only gives Nana Sahib 101 b,
and Worcester, 6 yrs, list, is about the only animal that
should trouble him.

The Stockbridge meeting will prove an " Ascot in mink-
ture," the programme boasting ten events for decision, and
half • doses of these are of the most interesting deurip-
, lion, the 6001. distributed over them having attracted heti-
brat entries. The Amport ffandiwp, one mile and • half,
Y quite a new feature, and the 200 roes, added have proved
well laid out, an acoeptanoe of 46 being the result of such
literality : in time it may even rival the Goodwood Stakes
hi importance, for out of the lot before me nearly a score
should enter the arena. The dietaries is rather too much
for the first five in the list, except Underhand, 6 yrs,
9st 51b, who is steadied with At 51b, or M. Philippe, 6 yrs,
fist 71b, would be worthy of some little considerston. Old
Robert, 4 yrs, 7st 41b, it is asserted was "shut in " when
contesting the Hunt Cup at Ascot, and he may, show
what there is in him here, the distance being much
more suitable. Anodise, 4 yrs, let 31b, he. not
been crushed with weight either, and as I sus-
pect she will display moderate staying powers the first
time they are called for, it is impossible to overlook her pre-
tensions. Donisetti, 4 yrs, fist 101 b, is meeting Amster-
dam on 81b better terms for the defeat at Ascot ; but this
would hardly bring them together, unless the former's run.
ning were • mistake—which may turn out to be the owe,
for he was hocked like " the beet thing of the week." The
Brewer, aged, Get 101 h, has lost all form, or the handi-
capper would not have taken such a liberty as to make
3-yr-olds give him weight. The only glaring inconsistency
in the whole table of weighta is the lenient impost of
Northern Light, 3 era, Get 41b, who is handicapped solely
on his two miserable exhibitions at Ascot, where be could
not act in the dirt, while his preview performance.
are completely overlooked. For instance, Rising Sun, Se-
clusion, Controlina, and Weetherbound, all of whom he
would hold safe at even weights through his running Ava-
lanche to • neck at Newmarket end defeat of Sir ilium
at Cheater, are made to give him from 101 b to 1211 s, and
unless the handicapper were positive he is dead amiss there
caa be no question he has made • great mistake. Bine
Rain, 3 yrs, tin, I doubt getting so far, and the 4lb will not
make op for the wide isterral that separated him from the
Light at Bath ; neither could Philomela, 3 yes, Est 131 b,
reepeetabie as she has proved herself this meson, MEMO
to compete with him at • difference of Sib only. Wan.
darer, 5 yes, fat 41b, runs "in and out," as does also
Stapleton, 5 yrs, 7st, or the pair would do some damage if
they ran up their best feem ; but Northern Light and
Arida. are so favourably weighted that it is not Reese-
sary to go to the netirtain ammalsoes it really appears
but • metier of health for one of them. The
Teeth Triennial, far 4/r-olds, two miles and a half,
must fall • prey to Mourevieff ; but the First Biennial, for
3-yr-okb, one mile and • half, is far been a "certainty,"
unless Mainstone is in his beet form. es Sutherland (the
Common Sense colt), Plumper, and Viatks could sorely
trouble him. Plumper has improved this season ahead in
the same ratio as her stable companion, St. Albans, for she
heat Jenny Leggier in a canter at Ascot, and Jenny's
running Borderer and Precursor so close for the Queen's
Plate at Apeoloatenks 'efficiently in her favour for me to
give her the evince over all bat Mainstone. In the
Steward's two miles, Underhand, 6 yrs, 9st, Hours.
rieff, 5 yrs, Bst 41b, Magnum, 4 yrs, 7st 111 b, and Schism,
4 yrs, fistteke my fearof the old horses, and
in the ablest. of Underhaor Magnum would stand •
great chinos, foe it is like putting Avalanche in
the race at Est 1111 i, from their Ascot running.
Rupee, 3 yrs, 7st, will take her own part, and if she
ran give the weight to Manat-Arne, 3 yrs, Est 101 b, and
Weatherbound, 3 yea, Est 71b, the young ones may find her
their best representative. However, I shall the
greatest pear/met for Magnum, if he is sent south. An
All-aged Plate, seven furlongs, may tempt Dundee, who
has no engagement. of any value this season ; still, • sth
penalty over such • long course may steady him, and if we
may follow his early ex.hibition at Liverpool, where he was
a neck behind Big Ben, the Matilda oolt, who ran Ben to •
head at Bath when conceding 31b, should beat him, as a3:1)
allowance claimed by W. Day's colt makes • difference of
gibbetween them. Dundee's Epsom form, however, erases
superior to that shown at Liverpool, I date not anticipate
his defeat otter Mr. Merry's taking ten thousand to
°us about him in one Let for the Derby of 1861,
and I can only direct attention to the Matilda colt,
2 yrs, G.t 41b, and Mentmore, 5 yrs, 9st 31b, as
the most likely to prove triumphant in the event of his
Were. With Big Bee in the Second Biennial and allowed
311 s, it is hardly necessary to analyse the pedigrees of his
Et, opponents ; and yet there is • chance of his suffering
Meet, considering he was beaten so very easily at Ascot,
Monastery having such a repedatioa at home that he is
certain to be heavily backed, if ppuulld out, and on has own
pound he might make • s Mgt. In the Mottle.
fent Stakes, also for two-year-olds, Diophantus carries •
51b penalty, and is consequently in danger, especially if
opposed by a great pet at Woodyeates, yclept Quicksilver;
there is also a prospect of Mr. T. Pares Parasite, to whom I
have previously alluded, at last coming out, and between
the two Dioptiantus' defeat is not unlikely to be accom-
plished. The match besiegers Syringe and Predictor may be

for my pen. The Original Hampshire Stakes, two miles
