do that which they do well), conjoined with a mis-
chievous indiscretion in the exercise of power more
worthy of a schoolboy than a statesman, he is con—
tinually bringing unpopularity on himself and con-
fusio❑ on his colleagues. With a fixed determina-
tion to defend every act of his administration, and
to crush, if possible, any individual who attempts
to question it, he indulges in a boldness of asser-
tion, which, tl.ough it would be admirable on the
stage, becomes loathsome in the House of Com-
mons. Let not Sir James suppose that his asser-
tions as to the blockade of the Black Sea and the
death of Capt. Christie are yet forgotten.
This is not the statesman whom, at the present
crisis, the people of England will consent to follow.
The people of England have gone forth to vindicate
honesty and to punish unscrupulous ambition, and
he who would lead them, must be one who can feel
a glow of enthusiasm at the triumph of such a cause
—not one who awaits with impatience a millennium
of cotton.

BPOICTING INTEL LIG.NNCK.

TATTERSALL'S.-THURSDAY.

A thin attendance, and very little betting.
Two or three movements, however, effected an impor-
tant change in the aspect of the St. Leger.
At first Rifleman was backed for upwards of 6001. at
5 to 2 ; but instead of the outlay strengthening his posi-
tion he soon after fell back to 3 to 1, laid in fifties.
Meanwhile Oulston advanced upon him under the strong
support of some influential back'rs, who took 3 to 1 to
some money, and were desirous of going on to a large
amount. 200 even was offered on Oulston against "any-
thing in the race." Lord of the Isles was nominally at
5 to 1, freely offered ; 6 to 1 wanted about Scott's "lot."
The quotations at the close were as follow :
