is now placed leyond the ranch of clanger; its fate is iu
the heads of the electors at the approaching dissolution
of Parliament,
" L rid Dtebya since he became the First Minister, has
declared in his Oleo in Parliament that he is an admirer,
of the tariff cf the United States, which imposes high
import duties on all articles from ahn ad which may be
produced at honer ; he adfli d that he considers corn no
juo., exception so, this rule, and that in his opinion the
re-impositain of a duty on corn is the nr-asure which
would best satisfy the claims of the landed interest

" An iaapoterit, breech of Sir Robert Peel's financial
policyjo the reduction of indirect taxation, and the sub-

limits. But the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he
proposed the rt;neer sl cr the income-tax for another year,
gave a -Cigeifioant warning, and notified his opinion that

° So,rn'ttera stood on Friday, when the Chancellor of
the Exch.-(pier op ned his budget. On Saturday morn-
ing the Solicitor-General addresses the freeholders of the
couutret Suffolk, and seeks their support on the express
ground That the repeal of the corn-laws has been ruinous
and unwise; that the agriculturists, if they require re-

Whieialtr•ready_ to adminis er it to them in the next
Parliament; and that with a view to the satisfaction of
their just claims their hopes mast rest on the existing
Administration. -Again, the. Chancellor of the Exche-
qatr bias returned to his original groend; and even since
his speech on the budget he has declared that when her
Maksetyishall have recurred to.the sense of her people,
the Government areprepared to fulfil, as far as lies in
their power, that policy with tegatd to the agricultural
interest which` they advocated on the Opposition side of

therefore, probably, the moat prt judict-d, has taken it
very much amiss that the NIA.; has learnt the fact that
photographic portraits taken by lenses deviate greatly,
and more and more from truth as the lenses increase in
diameter. I took the earliest opportunity of eocomoni-
valiog this new and imp irtant tact to my photographic
friends Messrs. Ross and Thom-on, photographers to
the giletil in Elinburgh; to Mr. Kilburn, photographer
to th, gre,en in L.,ndoc; and to Mr. Ilencernann and
Mr. Borne, who have produced such beautiful portraits,
the one on paper, and the other with collodion on glass.
AU these g, ntl,- men received the information as a valu-
able contribution to the art which they so skilfully prac-
tise—as au explanation, toe, of the well-known imper-
G ction of photographic portraits, and as a stimulus to re-
au,ve it by using small lenses and searching for more
settaitivei-materials. • They did not, like M. Claudet con-
sider the announcement of a scien ific truth as tin in-
vasion of their pecuniary interests; ardi while he, on
the auth,-ritY of his experiments, will continue to prac-
tise his art as he has hitherto done, with larger lenses;
they, arid we trust ixi‘,ny others, will not disdain to guide
the light of the sun by the light of science, and thus di-
minish the number of. these grim anamorphoses of hu-
manityi which proceed from no studio more copiously
than those of M.. Claudet, and which, though a terror to
the cllmestic eire:e, nave the merit of showing us how
we shall loAt hi a winding 'sheer, or under the more
ghastly phase of s postmortem examination.
If you, Sir, or any it yeur readers will take the
trouble of looking into an article," Binocular Vision and
the Stereoscope," in the number of the No 7 tit British
Review just published, you will form a better opinion on
the subject under discussion; and will see it demon
strated that the method employed by M. Claudet of
taking binocular portraits, to be raised into relief by the
sit reoscope, •is not.m.ly utterly erroneous in principle,
and incapable of giving a correct representation of the
humaa tot m, but that it actually involves the very OP
tical truth which he professionally repudiates.

Yesterday, the bdrgain by which the Crystal Palace is
trarnaferred from the contractors to its new proprietors re-
ceived its final ratification within the walls of the build-
ing itself. The naras of the purchasers did not tran-
spire, but they were represented by Mr. Charles Fuller,
who took fennel possession, and paid down the purchase
money, 70,0001. It is understood to have become the
property of a company, of which Mr. Laing, the chair-
man of the London and Brighton Railway, is chairman;
and that the intention is to remove it to a site near
Sydrnham, a distance of six miles from'the London-
bridge terminus of the railway. About twenty-five gen-
tlemen, friend 3 of the contracting parties, celebrated the
last day at the Crystal Palace by partaking of an
ere-gent dejeaner, us the guests of Sir Charles Fox and
Mr. Henderson. Prosperity to the new 'undertaking
was drunk in bumpers of Cyprus and Consttintia; and
Mr. Scott Russell, on his health being proposedolrew a
glowing picture of the attractions that are to be con
gregated within the new edifice at Sydenham. The pro-
ducts of every land are to be exhibited growing in- their
v,rieu, climates, and the specimens of every art grouped
according to the most tasteful: rules of classification.
Tno nbtional taste for the beautiful is to be refined by
eaqs from all the famous marbles in the world, and the
great prieciples of mechanical science are to be illus•
trated by working models of every variety of machinery.

SPORTING NOTES.
No. CCXXVI.
BATH AND SOMERSET COUNTY MEETING, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Yesterday's sport at Newmarket, although very
mediocre in quantity, was good in so far as one event
was concerned, the 10 Sovs. St%lves, tor two years ell.
My ju Ignient for this race was exceedingly correct, as
in my remarks I observed that the 51) extra on Placid
would ant as an effectual stopper on her chance; that
that pet of Butler's and the public, Gossip, stood very
low in my estimation; that the Libel filly would be any-
thing but forward in the race; and, finally, that Pelion,
my solitary selection, would carry off the stakes in
triumph, as be did, in a common canter, by a
length. The race, is described in a few words: Gossip
cut out the work to nearly half way up the cord?,
where Pelion came up, headed him a few strides, made
the rest of the running, and won, as before said, in a
canter.. Placid, with her 51b extra, being quite good
enough to beat Gossip for second place; the latter was a
moderate third, Libel filly fourth, Darien fifth, Molasses
and the filly by Beiram bringing up the rear; all behind
the Libel filly were beaten off. Pelion is the best two-
year old that has yet appeared this season, and in fact
the first that can be called a racer; ho is the pioneer of
as fine a set of younpters, who have yet to make their
Milt, as any year.bas been furnished with for a long
lime past. This year's two-year olds will be found ge-
nerally to be of a superior class; last year's, with one or
two exceptions, were a very inferior lot. Those that
have as yet shown this season, with the exception of
Pellet], and perhaps P;aeid, are about tbe worst possibly
that could be turned out. Epsom, Ascot, Newmarket
July, and Goodwood meetings will introduce us to the
cracks. _ _

Major CAMPBELL returned thanks for the Army.
Song, Mr. Hobbs—" True Courage," Dibdin; given
with. much good taste and feeling. The CHAIRMAN next rose to bring under the notice of
the company the toast of the evening, namely, " Pros-
perky to the Job and Post-masters Conch Proprietors,
Horse Dealers and Livery Stable Beepers' (of England)
Provident Fund.": They were met there that evening on
an important occasion.—(Hear, hear.) Theirs was not
a charitable but a philanthropic meeting; for one of the
objets of the society was not so much to provide for the
present as the future, an object, he thought, which well
deserved their serious attention and constant support.—
(Hear, hear.) , Every one in this country was more or
less engaged in trade, and every one more or less was
thrown upon his own immediate resources, and the prin-
ciple of self-reliance and self•support had become, as it
were, part of the glorious Constitution under which we
lived.— (Cheers.) In this country the Government not
only taught, but almost compelled all of us to rely on
our. elves, and in furtherance of that doctrine, no doubt,
this admirable institution bad been founded, which was
to all intents and purposes a Doric column with a Co-
rinthian capital.—(Cheers.) Happily they lived under
a Constitution where freedom was enjoyed to
the fullest extent, and erie of the peculiar
features which attracted to it, and which was to be at-
tributed to the existence of institutions like this, was
that it was free from those revolutions and convulsions
which had shaken the foundations of other nations.—
( Hear, hear.) The cause of this was well known and
appreciated in this country. Men here did not look only
at to-day, but they thought of to-morrow, and carried
their mind's eye into distant ag,'s, and hence arose the
iiberality with which the charitable, benevolent, and
provident institutions of England were supported.-
-(llear, hear.) Englishmen did not alone seek for the
wants of today, but they made provision for the future
also, and one of the peculiar features of the country
was her life assurance societies.—(Hear, hear.) No
later ego than that very morning he bed received a
paper from a life assurance society, the con-
tents of which greatly astonished him, for it
would appear from this document, which he held in his
hand, that magistrates, judges, barristers, legislators,
and, in fact, every class ot the community, were sensibly
aware of the importance of insuring their lives, as a
provision for their families hereafter; and it appeared
that the extraordinary sum of 5,000,0001. was annually
put aside for the purposes of life assurance, to secure
131,000,0001. to be granted for the benefit of families,
when those who bad insured should be no more.—
(enters.) They should never forget the value and im-
portance of that principle which taught them to put by
something in a period of prosperity to meet future nacos-
aities, in case they should be overtaken by adversity here-
after, and it was upon that grouni that he appealed to
them to support this institution.—(Cheers.) Let him
read to them a paper which had been placed in his
hands to show the progress which the institution had
made and was now making—(ilea; hear.) It appeared
from this paper that in 1846 the society attained that
point ot prosperity which enabled the committee to
commence -dispensing their benefits, and since then the
extent of relief afforded to thdee who were in want
of it had gone on increasing.—
(Cheere.) The founders
and supporters of the society had divided its progress
into two stages, the first of which would be completed
when the funds should hey° reached 10,000/., and the
second when the funds had mounted up to 20,0001.

Ou the heath yesterday,-and again in town, the pub-
lic were treated to a few more fine flourishes on the
Hobble Noble trumpet; 10 to 1 was offered early in the
morning, 15 in the afternoon, and 20 in the evening
was laid against this redoubtable son of Pantaloon and
Pbryne: all sorts of horses, from Alcoran down to the
other jack-in-the-box Augur, were backed against him,
for all sorts of sums from hundreds to thousands; and
the-finale to the obligato movement was a variety of
even bet,ing that he does not start. •

and perhaps Faux-pas. It must naturally occur to any-
one versed in turf mysteries, that Day's horse, which-
ever it may be, LAMARTINE or PITSFORD, will be the
winner; and that Old Hawley will • occupy the second
place. I may as well observe that Lamartine will, in all
probability, be the horse of the stable.
The Biennial Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 50 added,
for two years old colts Bst 71b. fillies and geldings Bst
41b, over the T.Y.C., which, is about half a mile in
length, will, I imagine, be contested by the colt, by
Mathematician, Oakleaf, Massena, Stella, Amazon, and,
perhaps, one of Mr. Sadler's, Charon or Contentment.
The race evidently lays between three:—MASSENA,
STELLA,-and AMAZON; one of the last two turning out
the actual victor.
The .Sxnersetshiro Stakes of 25 soya each, 15 ft, and
5 only it declared, &c., two miles and a distance, will, it
is expected, have the following list of competitors :
Russborough, Abdallab, Ex-ter, Ephesus, Narcissus,
Madame Wharton, Bscton, Darkness, Waterfall, Grand
Ductless, Tom Pinch, and perhaps Ferrer. Rubsbo-
rough's weight, on this particular course, will entirely
stop him. Abdallah'e chance is much better, at Tat
51b ; Exeter, however, is the dangerous horse, as he is
at present the favourite. Ephesus and Narcissus will
run well ; Banton and Darkness the contrary. Madame
Wharton, at 6st 81b, a good looking sp-c on paper, as
also is Waterfall, at sst 111 b. Grat.d Duchess will
possibly have the rest of the light weights in safe keep-
ing. To sum up, I can diseover nothing at present
good enough to beat the favourite ; therefore, to Exeter
I award the race, and expect to see Grand Duchess and
Ferret.well up.
The principal stake of Wednesday this year would
seem to be the Weston Stakes, run over the T.Y.C.
The entries include the names of Placid, Bst 41b; Na-
than, Bst 41b; Vaultress, Bst 41b; Massena, Bst 91b;
Bountiful, Bst llb; the Dextrous dam filly, fist 41b; and
Psaltery, Bst 41b. Five of the above seven names belong
to the dark division; and again, as yesterday in the
10 Says. Stakes, I sball look tor the winner among that
lot, and expect to find in VAULTRESS or BOUNTIFUL
the superior one. Nathan, notwithstanding his allow-
ance of 51b, I don't anticipate seeing in a better place
than second. Psaltery, if she runs (query), will be
well up.
The other races I shall not touch upon till Monday.
The betting. this morning runs principally on the
Derby, though it affects one or two of the stakes at Bath.
