No. CCXXXV.
THE MANCHESTER MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Threo days of next week, Wednesday, Thurs-
day, and Friday, are devoted to the crack sport that the
Manchester boys hive got up. The bill of fare, on paper,
is a most extensive looking one; and if the racing is at
all commensurate; it will be as good a provincial meeting
as we have yet had this year.
The ball opens as usual with the. Biennial Stakei of
10 soya. each, with 50 added, for three yrs old; colts, Bst
7lb ; filliei, Bst 31b. One mile and a half. This race I
book to TROUSSEAU or MERRY BIRD. What the field
will consist of, at the present moment I do not know.
The second race on the list is that for the Produce
Stakes of 10 soya. each, h ft. with 100 added, one mile
and a half. This stake has fifty-eight subscribers to it;
but if the odd eight nominations come to the post,- that
will be as many as can be expected. The result will
probably terminate in favour of WOMERSL EY or PEP.
PERKINT —the former for choice. The field for this, as
well as the"other stakes, I shall postpone giving till
next week.

The Union Cup of 200 soya. in specie, given by the
members of the Manchester Union Club, added to a
Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 soya. each, over the mile
and a quarter course, stands forth in a flou-
rishing way, with seventy nominations, of which
some sixteen will go to the post. It will be
to little account to wade through the-respective chances
of the animals engaged in this .stake, and I therefore
shall draw to a conclusion at once' by stating that Ox-
ford Blue, who won it last year, has no chance of repeat-
ing ,the performance this time; and that those most
likely to show to advantage will be, Iris, 4 yra, 7st 121 b;
Trickstress, 4 yrs, 7st 41b; The Italian, 5 yrs, 7st 21b;
Aaron Smith, 4 yrs, 6st Sib; First Fruits, 4 yrs, 6st 4lb ;
Deceitful, 4 yrs, 6st; and Flounce, 3 yrs, 4st 71bv If
they can manage to get THE ITALIAN along kindly
there is nothing to prevent his winning, bat if he plays
his itsual pranks, I feel inclined to look to DECEITFULor
FLOUNCE for the winner.
The Meiklam Handicap of 5 soya. each, with 50
added, over the mile course, will, in all probability, be
won by OSBALDESTON or PENANO, without the Ithuriel
filly bowls them over, which is somewhat dubious.
On Thursday the racing commences with a Handicap
of 5 soya. each, with 50 added; one mile and a distance.
PROCTOR and THE CUTLER look the most like business
—one or other being tolerably sure of carrying off the
laurels.
The Two Years-Old Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 50
added, will probably fall to the lot of Mr. J. Osborne,
without Nestor or the Queeit colt can go faster than
s e.,
over
twof 2O soya.mes
Lambton. Whalebone is of but little account.
The Manchester Tradesmen's Cup of 200 soya. in
espacehci,e,lsafdtd, eadndtos aonHlyainfdi
a Sweepstakes
declared,
and a distance, will probably be contested by a field of
ten or eleven, the' winner, I have but little doubt, turn-
ing out to be the BLACK DOCTOR, HERBERT, or GOLD-
FINDER, Calculator and Hippolytus reading the next best
on paper.
On Friday the only Stakes that have yet closed are
the Salford Borough Cup and the Wilton Stakes; the
latter of 10 soya. each, h ft, with 50 added; for two yrs
old, Est 91b, and three yrs, Bst 121 b, over the T.Y.C.
It will probably fall to the lot of Osborne, •with his
LADY AGNES, LAMBTON, or EXACT; the sister to
Mountain Deer being a doubtful runner, and Broughton
a certain non-starter.
The Salford Borough Cup of 100 soya. in specie,
added to a Handicap of 10 soya. each, 5 ft, and 3 only
if declared, &e., a mile and a half, will probably
attract a good field to the post. Unity, at 7st, and
Aaron Smith at the same weight, are favourably handi-
capped; as also is Paquette, at bat 121 b, and Jessica,
4st 101 b. This lot ought to furnish the first two—
nearer this mark I cannot go this week.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM RACES.
Yesterday was in every sense of the word an " off
day;" the races possessed very little interest, the fields
were small, the, company was thin, and the weather dull
and misty.
The Oaks betting, usually brisk on the day before
running, was flat, the only animals backed with any
spirit bring Trousseau and Bird on-the-Wing; the fa-
vourite was on the decline. With reference to the
Derby, we collect that an easy settling is very generally
anticipated; Mr. Davis, the heaviest loser, is reported to
have been hit to the extent of at least 30,0001. Had
either Barbarian or Chief Baron Nicholson won he
would have " landed" an immense stake.
The subjoined return of yesterday's sport will show
that there was little to attract the multitude:—

clared, &c., with 50 added; three years old, 7st 11lb;
four, Bst 71b; five, Bst 13lb; six and aged. 9st; win-
ners extra; mares and geldings allowed 31b; maiden
four years old and upwards, and horses that ran on the
D.,rby day allowed 51b. Horses entered to be sold, if
demanded, for 300 sovs., allowed 31b; for 2001., 91b;

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

I THE NEW CANDIDATE FOR TEWKESBURY.
From the Somerset County Chronicle we quote the fol-
lowing interesting biography of Mr. Edward W. Cox,
the new candidate for Tewkesbury:—
" Mr. Edward William Cox was the son of' the late
Mr. William Charles Cox, whose extensive iron and
brass foundry gsvo employment to more than two hun-
dred of the inhabitant, of this town. The family are
very ancient and respectable residents of Tatiaton; and
through all its generations the late Mr. W. C. Cox was
not the least distinguished of them for that blameless
honesty and single-minded liberality in business which
has ever been the trust and safeguard of British com-
merce.

" The subject of the present memoir was born in the
year 1609, and received the foundations of a classical
education at the College School of this town, of which
the Rev. T. Forster was at that time the head master.
The intelligence and aptitude for learning exhibited by
the youth at once attracted the attention of the master,
and inspired him with an interest in the progress of his
pupil which proved of great advantage to the latter; for
when Mr. Forster resigned his office at the College
School and returned to New College, Oxford, he carried
his favourite pupil with him; and it was there, in the
ancient seat of learning, with its impressive associations,
and under the guidance of Mr. Forster, that the educa-
tion of Mr. Cox was completed. His family originally
destined him for the Church, but, wisely leaving him a
discretion in tbo matter, he fixed his own choice upon
that profession for which his mental culture and active
disposition so peculiarly fitted bisu—the Law. Accord-
ingly, when he:had completed his studies at Oxford, he
returned to Taunton, and was articled to his uncle, Mr.
Trenchard, then one of the most respectable solicitors
in the town.
" At the age of 17 Mr. Cox edited the West of Eng-
land Magazine, which was printed and published at
Taunton, and which he conducted for about two years,
aided by his cousin, afterwards the Rev. W. Trenchard,
by whose early death the Church was deprived of one
of its most promising ornaments. A sacred poem, en-
titled The Opening of the Sixth Seal,' which was
much praised by the literary organs of the day and
passed into two editions; many occasional contributions
to the various' Annuals,' at that time so much in
fashion; and a semi-satirical poem, entitled ' 1829,' may
be noticed among the early productitions of his muse;
and the meed of public praise awarded to all of them
might easily have tempted a less resolute mind into de-
serting the solid but more prosaic advantages of pro-
fessional life for the specious but delusive paths of
literature.

" More congenial, however, to his active disposition
seemed the pursuit of politics; and at this early age he
obtained employment as the Taunton correspondent of
the Sherborne Journal, in which capacity he acquired
the rudiments of that intimate acquaintance with the
mysteries of journalism which has proved so invaluable
to him in after life. At this time he also wrote a his-
torical romance, entitled Thira, or the Cairn Braicb,'
which was afterwards published in the columns of this
journal, where it excited a great deal of interest. We
are not aware if it has appeared in any more formal
shape.

"-In the year 1830, when he was twenty-one years of
age, he went up to the metropolis for the purpose of
completing his legal education, and, having been ad-
mitted an attorney, during the same year, he returned
to Taunton,• where he bad resolved to practise, and
busily occupied himself in the formation of a profes-
sional practice at once lucrative and highly respectable.
"At this period, the Reform party bad no public
organ in West Somerset, and Mr. Cox considered that,
in founding a newspaper to support them, be would not
only be advancing his own interest, but also effecting a
great amount of public good. Encouraged by the
leaders of that party he established the Somerset County
Gazette. Maintaining on the one hand the principles of
the Whig party, and on the other strenuously opposing
everything that came in the guise of an irrational inno-
vation—a Liberal, without being a Democrat—Mr. Cox
successfully conducted this newspaper, without any as-
sistance, until the period of his leaving the country fur
the metropolis, when he transferred it to Mr. Woodley,
the present proprietor.
"In conjunction with other gentlemen of literary
tastes in this town, he established a sort of club for the
discussion of general questions and the reading of ori-
ginal papers, which were afterwards published under the
title of The Conversazione,' and were read with great
interest. To this periodical Mr. Cox contributed very
copiously; and it was in its pages that his 'Recollections
of the Life of a Lawyer,' an interesting series of tales
founded upon events in real life, originally appeared.
," In the year 1835 he married Sophia, daughter of the
late Wm. Harris, Esq., surgeon, of the Royal Artillery.
She died, however, in 1838, leaving one child, a son,
who is still living.

" During the whole of this period he was conducting
a large and steadily-increasing practice in his profession,
but after the death of his wife he resolved to abandon
the lower branch of the law for the more aspiring, if
loss lucrative, practice of the Bar. Accordingly, in the
early part of the year 1838, having completed all neces-
sary arrangements, disposed of his practice and of his
interest in the Somerset County Gazette, he entered his
name as a student at the Middle Temple and finally de-
parted from his native town. From this time be bade
adieu to politics. Entirely engrossed by the earnest and
laborious study of his profession, he dedicated his
thoughts and his studies to the law alone. His long ap-
prenticeship to the business of journalism, added to his
legal knowledge acquired in his acquaintance with both
branches of the profession, especially qualified him to
undertake such an enterprise, and accordingly on the
2d of March, 1843, the first number of the Law Times
appeared, and met with that unqualified success which
has ever since attended it.
It is
and from
theth
e time of recognised
a
organ of the legal profession;
commencement to the present day Mr. Cox has been
the sole editor and proprietor, aided by a large body of
learned contributors. To commence and conduct so
large an enterprise necessarily required both a great
outlay of capital and a very expensive establishment;
but we are enabled to state that Mr. Cox undertook the
whole of this without having received the slightest as-
sistance, either pecuniary or otherwise, from any other
person. Finding that the machinery necessary for one
would also suffice for two periodicals. Mr. Cox's active
mind devised the plan of The Critic; and here, where
the ground indeed appeared to be already so fully occu-
pied by the Atheneum and the Literary Gazette, the in-
variable success which has attended him in all his ven-
tures did not desert him, and he has distanced all his
competitors. For several years The Critic was con-
ducted at a considerable loss, but Mr. Cox had confi-
dence that steady perseverance and the undoubted talent
of its contributors could not fail sooner or later to at-
tract the notice of the public; and in this he was not
deceived. The Critic is now a most valuable property,
for it circulates upwards of 7,000 copies, and its adver-
tisements are far more numerous than those of any
other literary journal. During the following year, he
established The 211agistrate, a monthly journal, to idea
medium for communicating to the magistrate of the
country such of the current law as more particularly
affects their duties. When the County Courts came into
operation, the necessity for a good collection of reportsnce

" Mr.
diatelyCox was called to the bar in
joined the Somerset 1843, and imme-
and
Sessions the Western
Circuit, upon both of which he attained an almost im-
mediate success. He soon became famous for the de-
fence of prisoners, for which part his mental quick-
ness, his comprehensive grasp of facts, and his
oratorical powers, always ready for use, especially
fitted him
.

" Before two years had elapsed, he removed to
the Devon Sessions, induced by another of those op-
portunities which opened for him there the path to
success.

" Since his establishment in London, in the year
1835, he has married Rosalinda Alicia, only daughter of
Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, granddaughter of the
famous author of the Treatise on Equity,' and niece of
Albany Fonblanque, Esq., the no less celebrated editor
of the Ea aminer. By this lady he has had four chil-
dren, of whom three daughters are now living.
" Haring thus, by an industry and perseverance which
are almost without a parallel, combined with uncommon
prudence and business-like habits, created for himself, in
the prime of life, a fortune, a name, and a position, Mr.
Cox is now aspiring to the highest honour which our
free country can confer upon its most deserving citizens,
—a seat in the Parliament. fie is a candidate for the
borough of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, where, it is
said, he has already secured the respect and esteem of all
clssses and parties among the inhabitants by the mode-
ration of his opinions and his courteous bearing towards
his opponents.
"To sum up in a few words the doings we hoe re-

During the same period, he has founded three extensive
public companies, now flourishing; one of which was an
invention of his own, and over which he presides, and
yet withal every vacation has been occupied in foreign

almost every country in Europe, and made acquaintance

'THE FRENCH KEPONAC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Legislative Body met on Wednesday at two
o'clock, M. BILLAULT in the chair. The President
read to the Chamber two decrees sent by thr Minis-
ter of State : the first, adding M. PETITET,
101* of State, to the other councillors previously d 4ig-
nated to support the discussion of the Bill for the
definitive regulation of the budgets of 1848 and 1849;
and the second, naming MM. HEtrRTIEE and F. BAR-
ROT, Councillors of State, to sustain with MM. GER-.
MAIN and DE THORIGNT, previously designated, the
discussion of the budget of 1853, in what concerns
the department of the Interior, Agriculture, and Com-
merce. The President also read two Bills, trans-
mitted to the Legislative Body by the Minister of
State, the first giving authority to interdict
administratively certain individuals from re-
siding in the department of the Seine and in
the circumscription of Lyoas ; and the second having
for object to prolong the tobacco monopoly until
January 1, 1863. Both these bills were sent to the
bureaux for examination. M. LEQUIEN presented the
report of the committee charged to examine the bill
for the definite regulation of the budget of 1848 ;
M. LACAVE presented the report of the committee
charged to examine the bill proposing a credit of

the Sologne was fixed for Saturday, and that on the
definitive settlement of the budget of 1848 for
Tuesday. The sitting then terminated at three
o'clock.
The 111oniteur says :—" Some foreign journals,
persisting in their systematic hostility to the Govern-
ment of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, re-
proach him with exercising at this moment at Madrid
an influence contrary to the maintenance of the con-
stitution. This imputation has not the least founda-
tion. The French Government is too jealous of its in-
dependence not to respect that of others, and it would
fail in its principles by mixing itself up in the in-
terior affairs of Spain.”.

We read in a Paris letter, in the Emancipation of
Brussels :—" The journey of M. BERRI-Ea on the
continent is not without importance. lam assured
that he was received at Laeken by the KING of the
BELGIANS. At Dresden he had a conference with
the King of SAXONY, whose daughter is to marry
the Emperor of AUSTRIA. I am assured, from good
authority, that he was received at Berlin or Potsdam
by the King of PRUSSIA and the Emperor of RUSSIA.
He is now at Frohsdorf. Two letters recently received
from the Duchess of ORLEANS contain passages
t:iar
relative to the fusion, but there is a difference be-
tween them which may be pointed out. The first,
which is addressed to the Marquise DE LEBAU, is es-

is less precise. The Duchess restricts herself
to saying that the majority of the members
of her family regard the fusion as a useful mea-
sure, but that she makes a reservation of the rights
of her son, the Count DE PARIS.
The Jewish Hospital in the Rue do Picpus, built
by Baron JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD, was inaugurated
yesterday with great ceremony. The Minister of
Public Works and the Prefect of
.the Seine were pre-
sent, as were also an immense number of ladies and
gentlemen. M. A. CAHEN addressed the company in
a very appropriate speech, in which be pointed out
in the strongest colours the noble acts of charity
which bed been performed by the ROTHSCHILD family.
The BARON replied by expressing his hope that the
building which they had met together to inaugurate
would tend to assuage the sufferings and promote the
comforts of his fellow•creatures, and call down the
blessings of the ALMIGHTY on their efforts. The
Minister of Public Works then addressed Baron DE
ROTHSCHILD as follows :
" Woe be to him who cannot find in his heart to
praise and celebrate what we now see and hear. In
contemplating the edifice which you have just raised for
such a noble purpose, I am happy to find myself the
organ of the Prince, to whom the welfare of the suffering
people is so dear. lam pleased to testi,y here all the
gratitude which is due to the cooperation which M. de
Rothschild lends to the Government. I will inform the
Prince of all I have seen, and I am sure that a more
flattering testimony from the Chief of the State will
confirm all that I have said before Baron James de
Rothschild."
The ceremony concluded by a collection made by
the ladies patronesses, and by the installation of a
marble bust of M. DE ROTHSCHILD in the vestibule of
the building.
The Countess DE BUFFON, niece of DAUBENTON,
the anatomist, has died at her country seat of Mo-

celebrated naturalist. By her death, without family,
the families of Burros and DAUBEINTON are extinct.
