LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1864.

It seems difficult to say where some people can
stop in their course when once they have let loose
the bonds that curb the inordinate desires of ambi-
tion and the extreme cupidity of greed and gain. A
few months ago, had any one predicted a tenth part
of what has occurred in the German Danish war
now unhappily raging, who would or could have
given credence to the prophecy ? Would not all
sage statesmen and sapient lookers on of events have
declared that there was gross exaggeration, or grie-
vous prejudice in the mind of the prophet of evil.
It is true that in most wars, it is difficult in the ex-
' treme to foretell the probable turn that things may
take. No one very likely believed that the Ameri-
can war would have been of such an extended dura-
tion, or have been waged with such determined
virulence on one aide, and resisted with such
invincible perseverance on the other. Still, when
we look at the secondary details of the war in
the North of Europe, the chief thing that strikes
our notice is the want of consideration that pre-
eminently distinguishes the Prussian troops. Apart
from all disputes as to the right or wrong of the
question, there remains this unquestionable fact to
dwell upon, that the nation now so conspicuous in

the attack is unfortunately equally remarkable for'
rapacity and tyranny, in all smaller details and
minor arrangements. It is not at all consistent with
the style and character of modern warfare to carry
on matters in the manner which the Prussians have
done. From the outset we have been shocked at
their encroachments, and dismayed at their into-
lerance, but lately these ruthless aggressors and
pitiless assailants seem to have surpassed them-

selves. It is a scandal to all Europe to witness
these shameless proceedings and unprincipled tack
tics, but it would appear that even these extreme
measures will be suffered to take place, and the viola-
tors of the laws of nations allowed to proceed, and
lay waste all before them. It is perfectly monstrous
to contemplate the plans concocted by the German
States and carried out with such scrupulous observ-
ance, whatever obstacle may be interposed. Thus,
when the united efforts of several nations had ar-
ranged a Conference, the least that was expected
was that the primary rules and regulations should
he observed. Instead of this we find there is not

the slightest attempt to affect any compliance with
demands, obedience to injunctions, or conformity to
proposals. For any real good that the Danes are
deriving from the long talked of mediation
of the great Po avers, it might just as well have been

BEAcox—Sporting Gazette.

It now only remains for me to state that I believe the
ollowing half-dozen— General Peel, Coastguard, Paris,
Ely, Strafford, and Baragah, might be safely taken to beat
the field ; but for those who require a more definite opinion
I beg to add that my decided leaning is towards the best
form of this year—GENERAL PEEL, and the best of last—
COASTGUARD ; and my casting vote must be in favour of
LORD GLASGOW,

who has as I have above notified, a " second string to his
bow" of no mean pretensions. Should the race, however,
be destined to fall to an outsider, I believe that BARAGAH
will effect the coup.

THE HAMPSTEAD AND CHARING.CROSS RAILWAY COI-

PANT AND THE THAMES EMBItNILMENT.

The report of the streets committee was presented,
stating that they had received a deputation from
the Hampstead, North. Western, and Charing-cross
Railway Company on the subject of a petition pre-
sented by the board against the company's bill now
before Parliament for making a railway from Haver-
stock-hill to the Charing-cross Railway, near to the
site of the Thames embankment (north), with
branches to the London and North-Western and
Metropolitan Railways, and to form streets 40 feet
wide from Tottenham-court-road to the Strand and
the Thames, near the Charing-cross Railway, with
a subway for foots-passengers under the Strand ; and
also with reference to the present defective means of
access from Oxford-Street to Charing-cross, in con-
sequence of the want of a main line of thoroughfare
between those points, and which would be greatly
increased as soon as the railway at Charing-eross
came into full operation. The committee considered
that the street proposed would be a great,metropo-
litan improvement, and one Which the board would
at no distant period be compelled to carry out.
They, however, intimated to the deputation that
the additional width would entail upon them such
expenses that they must look to the board for a
considerable contribution or
pelled to abandon their bill.
The company had
made a proposal to make the street to the satisfaca
Lion of the board
andto widen Buckingham-street
to 60 feet, on condition of having certain Thames
embankment lands valued at 125,000 transferred to
them, and also a grant of £75,000 towards the
expense.

On the motion that the report be adopted, an
animated discussion ensued, urging the board not
to waste the ratepayers' money, but to content
themselves with simply opposing the street 40 feet
wide. Ultimately,
Mr. ROCIIE moved as an amendment, " That the
report be referred back to the committee, with in-
structions to insist on the intended road being 60
feet in width, and also to consider and report to this
board whether the proposed new street from the
Strand to the embankment (in the place of the pre*
sent Backingbam-street), is an approach, the cost
of which can be charged on the funds provided by
the Thames Embankment Act."
Mr. FREEMAN seconded the amendment, and it
was carried.
The routine business having been disposed of, th e
board adjourned.

From the above brief but careful analysis it will be
gleaned our impression is that Birch Broom, Cambuscan,
Coastguard, Ely, Forager, General Peel, Historian, Paris,
Princ Arthur, and Scottish Chief are the creme de la creme
of the Derby horses; and we are quite confident that Birch
Broom, Cambuecan, General Peel, and Scottish Chief will
be found the best quartette on the eventful afternoon. Re-
ducing these to a couplet let us stand or fall by

'rHE HAMPSTEAD AND CHARING CROSS RAILWAY COM-
PANY AND THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.

The report of the streets committee was presented,
stating that they had received a deputation from
the Hampstead, North. Western, and Charing-cross
Railway Company on the subject of a petition pre-
sented by the board against the company's bill now
before Parliament for making a railway from Haver-
stock-hill to the Charing-cross Railway, near to the
site of the Thames embankment (north), with
branches to the London and North-Western and
Metropolitan Railways, and to form streets 40 feet
wide from Tottenham-court-road to the Strand and

On the motion that the report be adopted, an
animated discussion ensued, urging the board not
to waste the ratepayers' money, but to content
themselves with simply opposing the street 40 feet
wide. Ultimately,
Mr. RocHE moved as an amendment, "That the
report be referred back to the committee, with in-
structions to insist on the intended road being CO
feet in width, and also to consider and report to this
board whether the proposed new street from the
Strand to the embankment (in the place of the prea
sent Buckingbam-street), is an approech, the coat
of which can be charged en the funds provided by
the Thames Embankment Act."
Mr. FREEMAN seconded the amendment, and it
was carried.
The routine business having been disposed of, the
board adjourned.

THE ARMY.

In cons:2lllone° of the large number of Royal Engineora
who will be required to embark for India during the ensu-
ing two months, to supply the place of the late East India
Company's Engineers at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay,
volunteering has been opened by order of the Field Marshal
Commanding in Chief, from the companies at head-quar-
ters as well as those serving at the home stations, and the
volunteers selected have arrived at head-quarters, Chatham,
from Aldershot Camp, the Curragh Camp, Shorncliff, Ply-
mouth, Dover, Weymouth, and the Survey districts. Dur-
ing the period which will elapse before the embarkation of
the non-commissioned officers and sappers for India they
will undergo a special course of instruction at Chatham in
military drawing, surveying, topography, and other
branches of military engineering, under the direction of
Col. Scott and Capt. Parsons, the instructors at head-quar-
ters.

The non-commissioned officers and men selected for
service in India have been for two years and upwards in the
corps. and the whcle of them have completed their B cld
wrik instruction at Brewton. The first party of 100
voluut?ers will leave Chatham for India early in July, and
the other detachments will follow shortly afterwards. In
conF, (pence of the home companies bring greatly rqdu3srl

terday afternoon at the dockyard,whence they were removed
to the depots of their respective regiments. The invalids wilt
be conveyed by Government steamer to the Royal Victoria
Hospital, Netley, this morning. The ship has made a good.
voyage home, but much alarm was occasioned shortly after
leaving Bombay by the cholera making its appearance on
Feb. 1, during which month and March 41 deaths occurred,
and it NA as not until the middle of April that it was consi-
dered as having entirely disappeared. The sufferers and
invalids generally were under the medical treatment of Mr
Woodman, the surgeon attached to the ship, no Government
medical officer having been sent in charge, and great praise
is due to that gentlemen for his skill and attention at such a
trying time.

THE NAVY.

Yesterday Sir I. D.H. Elphinstone, M.P., and the
other members of the Committee on Dockyard Ma-
nagement, &e„ appointed by the House of Commons,
visited Chatham dockyard, and commenced their
investigations at that establishment. Daring the
early portion of the morning the members of the
committee visited the Lord Warden and Bellero-
phon, iron clad vessels, under construction, and
from personal observation, as well as from informa-
tion obtained from the officials employed on those
vessels, elicited many interesting details connected
with the system of labour pursued at Chatham
dockyard. The remaining portion of the morning
was devoted to the transaction of official business in
the Captain Superintendent's and other offices, and
later in the day the members of the committee in-
spected the works in progress for the enlargement
and extension of the dockyard by the creation of
additional steam basins, desks, factories, and other
buildings, the whole covering a space of 300 acres
beyond the area of the present dockyard. On the
previous evening the members of the committee
landed at Chatham dockyard from the Vivid,
paddlewheel steamer, Staff Commander H.
W. Allen, which brought them from Sheerness,
where they bad been occupied in inspecting the
dockyard, naval barracks, and other establishments.
During their visit to the naval barracks the com-
mittee expressed themselves in an unfavourable
manner of the system of crowding in the building,
one of the rooms which was only fit for 100 being
required to accommodate 300 seamen.
The Orontes steam troopship, Capt. W. H. Hire,
arrived at Spithead last evening from the West
Indies, with the 14th Regiment on board. She is
ordered into the harbour, and the troops will land
this morning, en route for Aldershot.
George Barnes Haddock has been appointed lien.
tenant to the Royal Naval Reierve.
