TTIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING,

they had received a letter on that date (10th instant),
but dented that it mentioned anything about the money
Under those circumstances it was natural to call for the
letter itself, and he was not at all satisfied with the reason
which had been given for its non production. He
thought there was no greater testimony to a man's ve-
racity than when—not knowing but that the letter itself
was in existence, to be produced a few hours after it he
swore untrue—he swore distinctly to the contents of
that letter. There was no sufficient excuse forhe non-
production of the letter ; probably it was along with
some other letters of Mademoiselle Wagners, at Berlin,
in a bureau of which she would not give up the key,
and might be found there when she returned. He was,
therefore, to take the facts as stated by Dr. Becher in
his affidavit. With respect to what had been said of
Mr. Lumley's embarrassments it was quite clear
from what afterwards took place at Hamburgh
that the money would have been forthcoming
if the lady had insisted upon it. He considered
therefore that as Madlle. Wagner had obtained a favour
from yr. Lumley by opening the contract, she was not
at liberty to lull his prudence to sleep,land to leave him
under the beli-f that the money in Dr. Bather's hands
had been appropriated in the manner he desired.
Not a word did she say about the money; but when Mr.
Bacher came from Vienna to take her to London, he
found an engagement entered into with Mr. Gye; and
on tho 6th they found her going before the notary and
making that statement by which she declared herself
free from the contract. The court,' however, declared'
that she was not released from her contract, and
as a decree was more powerful than a noterial protest
she would find that she would hav3 to obey its order.
He thought it was entirely her own fault, and it was
quite clear she had intended, as far as she could, to
prevent the money being paid, in order to escape the
liability of performing the covenant into which she
had catered. Ho must therefore affirm the decision
of the Court below and refuse this motion with costs.

QUITE THE GENTLEMAN !
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
Probably there are not two persons to be found who
will give the same definition of A Gentleman. Each
has his own individual notion of the qualities which
ought to belong to that character. One thinks it con-
sists of wealth, another in fine dress and easy manners,
a third in a certain station in society, and a fourth in
politeness, suavity, and honourable bearing.. The dic.
tionary definition is," Every man above,the rank of a
yeoman, bearing a coat of arms." Another description
is, " Every man whose occupation or income raises him
above menial service or an ordinary trade;" and so
on. These are, indeed, very loose and ensatisfactory
definitions.
The waiter at an -inn calls him " Qaite the Gentle-
man," who adds a liberal douceur to the, bill, and for-
gets neither boots, hostler, or chambermaid, But at the
Herald's office, there is many a gentleman registered—
many a real esquire—whom waiters, without hesitation,
would pronounce to be "no Gentleman." And this is
the waiter standard.
Go to the shopkeeper, and you will find his definition
of " the Gentleman" to be, one who buys largely and
pays his way—not being over critical as to prices
charged, or bills rendered.
Go to the livery-stable, and you will there find
" the Gentleman" is one who rides a good horse, fol-
lows the hounds occasionally, and " tips' the groom and
the huntsman.
Go to the race-course, and " the Gentleman" there is
one who bets fearlessly and largely, taking the odds or
giving them, and never found in the list of defaulters,
Go lower still, and you will always find "the Gentle-
man" of some kind or ether—the hero of a clasi—the
man looked up to, quoted, perhaps admired.
The clansman sees in his chief the head Gentleman of
his sept. He boasts, "If you could see Vich lan Vohr
with his tail on!"
The exclusive classes have another test. What is his
family?, Is he of the blue blood? If the common pud-
dle run in his veins, he is " no Gentleman."
Our opinion is, that the only true definition pf A
Gentleman is—" A Man of true and noble character."
When you adopt this definition, you at once strip the
designation of all that is adventitious. You make the
title rest on true merit, not on accidenton personal
qualities, not on possession—on the inner man, and not
on his outer trappings.
Character is Nature, in its highest and best form.
Men of character are not only the conscience of society,
but they are also its motive power. For it is moral
qualities, after all, which rule the world; and the will
of the pure and strong flows down feeea them into other
natures, as water flows down from a higher into a lower
level.
That rogue knew well the value of character, who said
to a man distinguished for his honesty—el would give
ten thousand pounds for your good name." " Why so?"
asked the honest man. " Because I could make twenty
thousand by it," was the answer.
A Gentleman, who vaunts himself such in virtue of
his ancestry, lineage, or titular dignity, but is wanting
in the true qualities of a Man, is no better in reality
than a serving man who carries on his sleeve the badge
of some noble family, yet is himself an ignoble per-
son. Every gentleman must prove himself to be such
by his own life and character, before he can lay claiin to
the title. He must earn his dignity before he can justly
wear it.
The Gentleman must live after a plan—his discipline
must be complete—his actions determined by high-toned
principle, not by mean expediency. All particular acts
are to have reference to the general result. "He who
does not regulate his whole life," says Montesquieu, "in
order to a certain end, has but little control over his par-
ticular acts in detail. It is impossible for him so to ar-
range the parts as. to form a perfect whole, unless he.
has a well-defined plan of living arranged in his head
and heart." By this means can only a pervading har-
mony in the whole life of a man be secured. .
The Gentleman has a high sense of honour—not in
points of etiquette and observance of the code of
fashionable life—but in regard to the avoidance of
mean actions. His standard of probity is high. The
Gentleman does not shuffle nor prevaricate : he does
not dodge or skulk: he is honest, truthful, straightfor-
ward: his law is rectitude—notion in right lines.
When he says yes, it is a law ; and he dares, too,
to say the valiant no at the fitting seasons. The
Gentleman feels that Truth and Rectitude are the
summit of being ; and the soul of justice and right-
doing in human affairs. 0 The Gentleman," says
Emerson, " is a man of truth, lord of his own actions,
and expressing that lordship in his behaviour, not in any
manner dependant or servile, either on persona, or opi-
' niOns, or possessions. Beyond this fact
.of truth; and
real force, the word denotes good-nature or benevolence;
manhood first, and then gentleness. •
The Gentleman is distinguished by his self.respect.
He values his character—not so much of it only as can
'be seen of others, but as be sees it himself; he has a
regard for the approval of the inward monitor. ',And, as
he respects himself, so, by the same law, will he respect
others. Humanity is sacred in his eyes: and thence
proceed politeness and forbearance, kindness and charity.
Itis related of Lord Edward Fitzgerald that, while tra-
velling in Canada, in company with the Indiana, he was
shocked by the sight of a poor squaw trudging along
laden with her husband's trappings, while the chief him-
self walked on unencumbered. Lord Edward at once re-
lieved the squaw of her pack by placing
it upon his own
shoulders. Here was a beautiful instance of what the
French call politesse de ccrur,—the genuine politeness of
the heart.
The true Gentleman is under strict self-control.
The old Romans were in the right when employ-
ing the same word, virtus, to designate strength and
virtue; for there can be no victory, in truth, without
victory over ourselves; and to be victorious in virtue
needs strength and courage. For the same reason,
Temperance has always been included among the quali-
ties of the true gentleman. For temperance tends to
keep the head clear, the hands steady, the body health-
ful, and the morals pure. We may sometimes hear of
a " drunken gentleman;" there is even the proverbial
saying of " as drunk as a lord;" but, in either case, the
gentleman is of an altogether spurious character.
The true Gentleman is cheerful,
even while he is most
in earnest. Cheerfulness is indispensable to true manly
life; it is the very soul of all success. The spirit must
be kept elastic, and all sickly fantasies abjured. As a
bishop once said, " Temper is nine-tentbs of Christi-
anity," so cheerfulness and diligence are nine-tenths of
practical wisdom.
Riches, and rank have no necessary connexion with
genuine gentlemanly qualities. The poor man may be a
true gentleman—in spirit and in daily life. He may
be honest, truthful, upright.
P
geous, self-respecting, and self
be a true gentleman. The poor man with a rich spirit
is in all ways superior to the rich man with a poor
spirit. To borrow St. Paul'a.osbietlep,intgetpaleirdattel,3actoius,ratb-
words, the former is as
" having nothing, yet possessing all things," while the
other, though possessing all things has nothing. , The
first hopes everything, and fears nothin ; the last hopes
nothing and fears everything, Only
the poor in spirit
who is rich in spirit,
are really poor. For the manthe
world is, as it were, held in trust; and in freedom from
the grosser cares, he alone is
erstitled to be called the
true Gentleman.
The man who has even loot
all, but still retains cou-
rage, cheerfulness, hope, industry, and virtue, is still

ney Smith used to say that until a bishop was killed.T a

dangerous state of the ride in Rotten-row induces 'a belief
that until the occurrences of some fatal accident no horseman
will be able to enjoy his gallop with safety in that fashionable
locality. The lion. Member for Stoke has been amor,
g
the first victims to the neglect of the Commissioners of Woods
and Forests. As Mr. Ricardo was riding along Retten.rew
last evening at a very .moderate pace, his horse stumbled at
one of the numerous imperfect spots left in the road, and
slipped upon his side. The lion. Member was thrown, and
pitched heavily upon his left shoulder.d Several persons ran
to his assistance, and he soon recovere himself. Rica Teevan,
of Chesham-street, who was sent for, saw Mr. rdo in a
very short time after his arrival at home, and on examination
discovered a dislocation of the shoulder, vhich he at once
reduced. We are happy in being enabled to say that the
Hon. Member is likely to suffer only a temporary inconveni.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM RACES.
The prevalence of a cold north-east wind, and the
dullness of the morning, gave little room for expectation
that the first day of the meeting would exhibit more
than the customary gathering of the sporting classes;
the unusual excitement, however, on the
be decided this day, and the anticipation greate
t event to
something
might turn up to occasion a change in the betting,
brought together a stronger muster than ordinary of
racing men, and a very lair show of general company.
Amongst the aristocratic and other leading patrons of
the turf, we noticed the Duke of Richmond, the Mar-
quises of , Exeter and Drogheda ; Earls Chesterfield
Glasgow, Wilton, Airlie, Uxbridge, Zetland, March ;
Lords Maidstone, Anson, Enfield, Lascelles, Torring-
ton, H., G. Lennox, Exmouth, Alexander Lennox, Rib-
blesdale, G. Manners, Paget; Sirs R. P. Clinton, R.
Peel, G. Armitage, R. Pigot, and C. Rusbout; Honour-
ables Admiral Powlett, General Anson, Colonel Stanley,
Colonel Boyle, Major Pitt, Major Needham, Captain
Rot's, H. Forrester, Agar Ellis, F. Villiers, and F.
Stonsor; Colonels Peel and Newton; MeSsrs. Greville;
Payne, Seville, Balfour, Rush, Smyth, Mills, S. Gra-
ham, A. Heathoote, Milner, W. H. Williamson, Meik-
lam, pad .Drinkald.
The particulars subjoined will show the racing must
have left nothing to desire, either on the score of quan-
tity or interest; we question, indeed, if 'a better list or
better sport was ever known on the first day at Epsom.
The only drawbacks were the loss of time that arose
out of the restiveness of,seme of the horses at the post,
and the delay in displaying the numbers orthe starters,
the latter easily to be remedied in future by strength-
ing the staff of the clerk of the scales. :Those who
looked for any new feature in the Derby. betting must
have been disappointed, we never knew is so dull, or so
little influenced by the money laid out. The only
animals backed to any great amount were the two cracks,
each of whom will be found quoted at a slight improve-
ment on the prices returned from the Corner sn Mon-
day. Harbinger, Stockwell, Womersley, and Daniel
O'Robrke were steady; Alooran; Claterhouse, Kings-
fon, and Alfred the Great in very little demarnd; and
Orelio, Augur, and Chief Baron Nicholson friendless.
In the anticipation of an usual cone urse to-day, the po-
lice will be considerably strengthened, and particular
instructions, we understand, have been given to prevent
the annoyances to which parties returning by the road
were exposed to last year; in all other respects, the
preparations are on a scale commensurate with the oc-
casion. The following is a return of the racing yester-
day:—

tiveness, a start was effected, H.ungerford getting away
with a decided lead, which he maintained half-way sip
the bill, and then fell into the ruck. The running was
next taken up by Doctor Puff, followed by Ilex, van,
and Sanita, this let remaining in the van until round the

The Rogue, Appleton, and the Young Lochinvar filly
broke away from the post, and ran the whole distance
before they were stopped. In the actual start, Senorita
took the lead, and with Appleton and Arlette in attend-
ance, cut out the work to the distance, where Joc-o'-Sot
and Hambletonian joined the favourite; a fine race en-
sued with the three, Senorita winning by a head, and
Joc-o'-Sot beating Hambletonian as far. Run in 48 secs.

gave way to The Heriot, Hothorpe, and Catalpa, the
former going on with a decided lead, and winning very
easily by a length. Miss Bundy jumped the ropes be-

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.)
Sir,—On Monday the 24th, the " Corrupt Practices
at Elections" Bill was proposed for third reading. A
small but devoted band resisted the progress of the Bill.
After a chivalrous opposition, the Bill was read a third
time by a majority of 281 to 6.
The struggle was renewed, for a permission to candi-
dates in boroughs to give to the amount of five shillings
to each of the voters, or so many as would accept it.
But disheartened by the previous ill success, the sup-
porters of this amendment withdrew.
On an amendment for introducing the words" County,
Division of a County," the Government opposed with
an argument, which may bo lecitimately taken for the
measure of their inclination and their talent in execution.
They objected, that it would be impossible to disfran-
chise au extensive county, and therefore corruption in
counties was what it was absurd to legislate against.
They would have put their argument on a broader basis,
if they had said all England could not be disfranchised,
and therefore corruption in all England must take its
course. Besides which, it appeared on consulting the
Bill, that the Bill did not by any means rest upon the
power of disfranchisement, but on the contrary was
directed simply to provide the means of inquiry and
" reporting to Her Mejesty." The words relating to
Counties were finally inserted, by a majority of 109 to 71.
By another amendment, the words " University or
Universities" were inserted; and the Bill was fivally
passed.
On the same evening a debate took place on the Poor
Law Board Continuance Bill; at the end of which the
Board carried the division by 112 to 33, and a subse-
quent division for filling up the blank with 1854 instead
of 1853, by 72 to 26. The question appeared in the
main to he one between metropolis and country.
The Colonial Bishops Bill (from the Lords) was de-
ferred for second reading till Thursday. This is entirely
a different Bill from the one mentioned a few days ago
under the same title; and is a Bill "to enable Colonial
and other Bishops to perform certain Episcopal Func-
tions, under Commission from Bishops of England and
Ireland." Bishops other tn Colonial, appe
the Co-
lony is not usually applied.
Oa Tuesday the House met at twelve o'clock, for the
purpose of proceeding with the motion on May nooth.
The time till six o'clock was consumed in skirmishing,
of which it is impossible to report any result, except that
at the conclusion of it a motion to adjourn the House
was resisted by 128 against 69, and on the House
meeting again at eight, it was immediately counted out.
The Rouse had previously determined on its rising to
adjourn till Thursday.
I am, sir, yours 'ery sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.
