beim 2in. 52sec., or three seconds more than that

The Prince of Wales, who had driven from
town, arrived upon the course early in the after-
noon, and remained until nearly the close of the
racing. Both upon his arrival and departure his
royal highness was loudly cheered.

niversary, when Lord Lyon warn victorious. As usual,
while the animals were under orders great exoitement
was manifested, and the preliminary canters were
watched with extraordinary curiosity, the style in which
the attractive Chesnut Marksman, with his head into
his chest, galloped, the bright coats of Vauban and
The Palmer eliciting general admir►tion, while Hermit
was almost unobserved, so totally had the public
mind become alienated from him by the recent market
operations. For some time before the hour fixed on the
card for the Derby the spectators had ranged themselves '
OD the various tiers of the Grand Stand, and the course
altogether presented an appearance not likely to be for-
gotten by the many visitors of to-day, the enclosure being
roofed with umbrellas, and the hill presenting a huge area
of gingham and silk coverings. When the lot got to the post
three-quarters of an hour occurred before they were
despatched on their eventful journey, but the interest
attaching to the actual start was considerably marred by
the delay, and the biting wind, sleet, and snow which
swept over the downs had the effect of robbing the occa-
sion of a very pleasant feature. Every race-glass was
turned upon the favourites, who were easily singled out,
Being distinguishable by conspicuous jackets, those
of Vauban, Palmer, Rake, Hermit, and Julius being
particularly conspicuous. There was at least half a score
of false starts, and these were in some degree caused by
the fractiousness of D'Estournel, who was accompanied to
the post by a man, and there held, but, notwithstanding,
he exhibited some of the wild freaks of Tambour Major a
few years ago, despite the reports of his improved temper.
In the meantime, the spectators were becoming so accus-
tomed to the false starts that they were scarcely pre-
pared for the tremendous shout of "They're off;' and
the familiar clanking of the starting bell. From the
second tremendous shout which followed it was evident
that some favourite had been left at the post, and in an
instant the animal was detected in the now notorious
D'Estournel, who reared up on hie hind legs, and the
moment the flag was lowered he darted off in an entirely
opposite direction, and actually commenced to " savage"
the people who were on the rails next the post, and
altogether the exhibition was one of the most disgusting
ever known on the turf. The race in its varying changes is
fullydeserThed below, and it is only necessary here to remark
that to a certain extent it was uneventful, as after half-a-
mile of the journey had been traversed there were not
more than half-a-dozen left in it with any chance of suc-
cess, the others being thus early tailed off. Approaching
Tottenham Corner, The Rake and The Palmer looked for-
midable, but when they had made the turn they both died
away, and being closed in upon, their chances of success
werehopeless. From the distance only Vauban, Marksman,
Hermit, and Van Amburgh appeared in the struggle, and
loud cheers were raised when Marksman was seen to be on
the "Thonnanby aide" of the course. On breasting the hill
Vauban was beaten, indicative of non-staying capabilities.
Hermit won after a game and determined race, Orimshaw
evidently acting up to the letter of his instructions, which
were not to move upon the horse, and he rode with con-
summate patience and fine judgment. Hermit, who held
his place between Vauban and Marksman, was brought
out with great judgment, and ridden throughout wish
wonderful patience by J. Daley. Fordharn's ill-luck in
the great three-year old races did not desert him on the
present occasion, for he only got third, and The Rake,
1 whose recent accident is well known, finished tenth.
Julius was never formidable after leaving the furze:. The
winner (Hermit) had been one of the favourites until Mon-
day week when he was reported to have been tried with Mr.
Chaplin's recent purchase, Rama, and not only worsted,
but, like The Rake, broke a blood-vessel. He was then
i knocked out. To-day his owner, Mr. Chaplin, accepted
,• 1,000 to 15, and his confederate, Captain Machell, backed
I the son of Newminster and Seclusion to win 10,000/. Mr.
; Chaplin throws in for • large stake, winning, us dit,
140,0001., and Captain Machell 63,0001., and since Knight
of the Garter's running in the Two Thousand, he has
t maintained that they had the line of all the public horses,
and that Hermit would win the Derby--a prediction
which has been realised. Mr. Chaplin also wins the
leviathan bet of 50,00 W, that The Hermit would beat
The Palmer the first time they met, and
10,0001. that Hermit beat Marksman. Sir Jo-
• aeph Hawley hedged the Hermit bet a few weeks
ago. It is worthy of note that Custance resigned his claim
upon Hermit to ride the Rake, who has turned out a great
imposter. Thus ended one of the most sensational Derbys
on record. Prior to the Epsom Town Plate being run for
considerable commotion was caused on the course by the
arrest of O'Beldwin, the Irish pugilistic giant, for an
• assault. He was " assisted" off the course by eight police-
! men and locked up, but subsequently released on bail to
appear before the magistrates to-morrow.

THE STRIKE ON THE NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY.
—We learn from the Leeds Express that the six drivers
who left their work on the North Eastern Railway a few
weeks ago without giving the requisite not'ee, again ap-
peared before the bench in that town yesterday. Mr.
kerns, who appeared for the company, said that although
the inconveniences resulting from ithe late strike had been
very serious both to the company and the public, and not-
withstanding that the company bad since discovered that '
the strike was intended to bring the whole line to a stand
by six o'clock the following morning, the directors had
no wish to punish the men with anything like the
utmost rigour of the law, as they (the men) had expressed
regret at what they had done, and had admitted that their
conduct had been most unjust and unwarrantable. The
men in fact, bad admitted that they had had nothing to
complain of, having been unwittingly led into the steps they
hail taken. Already the men had been seriously punished, as
also had them who were dependent upon them. The ma-
jority of those who came out on strike had been in the
employ of the company for nearly 20 years, during which
time they had been promoted from the lowest to the highest
positions in their respective departments. Leaving the
company as they did, their places had necessarily been filled
up, and it was doubtful if ever they could be reinstated
in their former positions. The wen having expressed
regret, he was instructed to say that the directors,
with the permission of their worships, were willing to
adopt the course which bad been followed in similar
cases in other towns, and abandon further proceed-
ings by the men forfeiting the wages due to them at
the time of the strike. It was a source of regret to the
directors that they bad been compelled to take any pro-
ceedings against the men, but they felt that they must do
it, in order to maintain the state of discipline so emantial
to the working of a railway. The directors were anxious
to terminate this unhappy dispute, and the course he had
suggested to the bench was the most lenient step they
could take to do this. It might happen, if circumstances
arose, that the directors would be induced to take the
men back into their service, so that the kindly feelings
which had so long prevailed between employer and em-
ployed might again be renewed. This, however, was •
matter which need not now be entered into, and he should
simply leave the proposition he had made in the hands of
the bench. He might, however, state that out of the
number of men who struck 25 had again been taken into
the company's service. The men (who were unrepresented)
were then asked by Mr. Lupton what they had to as in
answer to the charge, when they severally withdrew
their former plea of not guilty, and pleaded guilty, ex-
pressing regret at the course they bed taken, and saying
that the punishment they had received would be a lesson
to them for the future. Mr. Lupton, addressing the men,
said it was the wisest course they could have adopted, as
there was not the slightest doubt of their guilt. The
bench, however, believed that the defendants had been
victimised and led *astray by wicked and designing men ;
and therefore they would take a merciful view of the case.
Instead of sending the men to prison, as they had the
power to do, the bench were too glad to have the oppor-
tunity of assisting the directors to do something towards
putting a stop to this unfortunate dispute, therefore they
ordered that the men should be discharged upon forfeiting
the wages due to them. The men expressed their thanks
to the bench, and left the court with their friends.

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.-011 Monday last Mr.
Janes Beal, of the St. James's vestry, accompanied by
several gentlemen who take an interest in industrial move-
ments, waited upon the central committee of the operative
tailors for the purpose of making themselves thoroughly
acquainted with the muses which had led to the present
unfortunate state of affairs in the London trade. They
were met by the committee in the most frank and open
manner, and at the conclusion of the interview, while re-
fraining from expressing any decided opinion on the merits
of the dispute itself, expressed themselves as firmly
convinced of the sincerity of the desire of the men to have
the dispute settled by arbitration. They left therefore
with the intention of seeing Mr. T. Hughes, 111. P., and
some other members of parliament, with the object of
forming a deputation to wait upon the committee of the
Master Tailors' Association, and induce them if possible to
end the dispute by agreeing to the arbitration offered by
the men ; but it is not expected the result of their efforts
will he made public until the adjourned general meeting
of the Master.' Association, to be held on Saturday next.

A TRADES' UNION STRIKE.—Last week twenty
masons in the employ of Messrs. Wood, of Derby struck
work in consequence of the firm having refused to discharge
a non-society man. The man has worked for Messrs. Wood
for several years, and the character his employers give him
is that of • steady, respectable, good workman ; and, in
fact, he has won their confidence to such an extent that
they have placed him in the position of foreman.—Derby
Mercury.
CORPORAL PIINISHMINT OP NAVAL CADED4.—
A correspondent of the Hants Telegraph draws atten-
tion to the fact that corporal punishment for naval
cadets has been revived on board the training ship
Britannia. He mays :—" I believe were it generally
known that the naval cadets on board the Britannia
are liable to severe and disgraceful corporal punishment,
their persons exposed, dm, for mere breaches of disci.
pline, my Lords of the Admiralty would be relieved from
much preesure for these appointments, now so much sought
after. It is strange, but all the naval men I have men-
tioned this subject to were as ignorant of this disgraceful
system as myself, owing, no doubt, to the fact that it has
been recently introduced. I think that moat persons will
agree with me in considering it disgraceful that young
gentlemen, wearing her Majesty's uniform, should be sub-
ject to such punishment in these days."

INCORPORATID LAW BotaxTr.—At the examina-
tion of candidates for admission on the roll of attorneys
and solicitors of the superior courts, the examiners recom-
, mended the following gentlemen, under the age of 26, as
being entitled to honorary distinction :—Samuel Lemur',
William Frederick Baker, Gregory Wlddringtoa Byrne,
and Thomas Mallon:ea HIL The council of the Incor-
porated Law Society have accordingly awarded the follow.
ing prises of books :—To Mr. Learoyd, the prim of the
Hon. Society of Clifford's Inn ; Mr. Baker, the prize of the
Hon. Society of New Inn ; and Mr. Byrne and Mr. Hines,
prizes of the Incorporated Law Society. The examiners
also certified that the following candidates, under the age
of 26, whose names are placed in alphabetical order, panted
examinations which entitle them to commendation
John Jolly Bentham, John Walter Clulow, John Nelson,
and Vernon John Yardley Shaw. The council have
accordingly awarded them certificates of merit.
RBORIOINZE' PROTECTION SOCIETY. —The thir-
tieth animal meeting of this society was held last night at
Radley's Hotel, Mr. R. U. Fowler presiding. Mr. F. W.
Chessou presented the report, one section of which re-
ferred to the conduct of the Peruvian government towards
native races. The kidnapping of Polynesian islanders had
proved in the sequel to be a form of the slave trade which
successfully rivalled all that had been imputed to Cuban
and Portuguese men.stealeni. In consequence of the
representations of the English and French governments
Peru had promised to restore the natives who had been
torn from their island homes in the Pacific, but nine
hundred of them were still known to be miming. Lord
Stanley had been memorialised upon the @object,
and an inquiry had elicited facts of • very painful
character. Twelve hundred "labourers," or slaves
had been imported into Peru from the Polynesian islands.
Of these, considerably more than 200 died in the hospitals
of Peru, and 100 remained in the country ; 871 were re-
shipped for the Pacific, but of these the majority perished
on the return voyage. Out of 360 who took passage on
board the Barbara Gorner, only 40 arrived alive at the
Gambier Islands • and out of 482 shipped in the Adelante,
200 died of small-pox, and the rest were abandoned on the
Isle of Cocos, while of these only forty ultimately escaped.
Yet while so much is said concerning the savagery of un-
taught and idolatrous aborigines, no voice of condemnation
is heard against the ruthless cruelty of • Christian nation.
The objects of the society were illustrated and enforced
by the chairman, Rev. D. Philip, South Africa ; Mr. W.
Craft, Dahomey, and other gentlemen.
