ILSLEY AND LIVERPOOL MEETINGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In addition to the great meeting at Liverpool
we have also a small one at Ilsley this week; and as
there has been a tolerable amount of betting upon the
latter, it is deserving of seine attention. There are only
two stakes, however, worthy of comment, the Daley and
Berkshire Stakes. The former is a two and three years
old stake, bat having none of the latter denomination in
it; the distance is three-quarters of a mile. The names
of Gold Dust, Catherine Hayes, Chilton, Defiance,
and Pug Orrock figure on the list, rendering it apparently
a more interesting and attractive race than it will really
turn out to be. Catherine Hayes having incurred, by
her two victories this year, 7lbs. penalty, and Chilton
and Defiance each being penalised slbs., the race seem-
ingly is a certainty for PUG ORROCK; Gold Dust, pro-
bably
running very forward.
The Berkshire Stakes, over the mile and-a-half course,
will be contested by Kilzneney, Little George, Proud-
foot, Sleeping Partner, and perhaps another or two.
KILMENEY and PROUDFOOT aught to be first and second.
The fields for to-morrow's races, as far as I can as-
certain from somewhat incomplete information, will be
composed as follows;_,
The Mersey Stakes—Sister to Mountain Deer, Charity,
Charming Woman, Hybla, and perhaps Conspiracy filly.
Strait Jacket is also there, but I believe will not run. In
the preceding list I have inserted the names of Hybla
and Sister to Mountain Deer as starters, bat I believe it
is tolerably well understood that should Hybla run the
Sister to Mountain Deer will be reserved for the Pro-
dif that stake should be run after this, of
which Schotknaeeos; other is the certain winner.
The 50 sous. Produce Stakes, Father Thames walks
over for.
The Lancashire Oaks—Plot Bst 41b, Butterfly Bst 71b,
Calot Bst 41b, and one of Osb.Jrne's—Lady Agnes Bst
101 b, or Merry Bird Sat 71b. PLOT, as I remarked in
my
note of last Friday, is almost certain to win; Butter-
fly and Osborne's starter filling the second and third
places.
The Great Lancashire Produce Stakes. So few have
arrived for this stake, and so imperfect is my informa-
tion respecting what is to be sent for it, that I shall de-
cline saying
anything more than that I expect the SISTER

A I.IOPEFUL BOAST.
The Morning Herald thus sums up the result of the
elections :
We resume our review of the losses and gains of the
Conservative party by the borough elections, so far as
they have gone. we begin with the losses, bringing
forward Seventeen :
Bristol—Langton, vice Miles—one.
Leeds—Baines, vice Beckett—one.
Newport—Biggs, vice Plowden—one.
Ditto—Massey, vice Martin—one.
Newark—Vernon, vice Stuart—one.
Total, Twenty. two.
On the other side, our
gains, we begin by bringing
forward from our former list Thirty-nine:--
Armagh—Moore, vice Rawdon—one.
Bodrnin—Sawle, vice Lacy—one.
Dartmouth—Herbert, vice Moffat—one.
Dublin—Vance, vice Reynolds—one.
Maldon—Miller, vice Lennard—one.
Penryn—Freshfield, vice Mowatt—one.
Sandwich—MacGregor. vice Paget—one.
Total, Forty-six scats.
The net result, therefore, up to this moment, gives a
gain of twenty-four seats. This, of course, may not sa-
tisfy the eager hopes of the over-zealous. But if the
same SUCCES3 continues to attend the Conservative cause
throughout, the result will be, the formation of a phalanx
which can never be placed on the benches of the Oppo-
sition side of the House.

KNARESBOROUGH ELECTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I find in your paper of the 18th inst. that you
have not stated the Members returned for Knares-
borough quite correctly. The poll at the close stood
thus:—

J. P. B. Westhead (L) ... 113
J. Dent Dent (L) ... 113
Basil T. Wood (C),... ... 113
Thomas Collins (C) ... 107
The three first named gentlemen being equal were de-
clared duly elected by the returning officer, and were all
three chaired. It will remain for a Parliamentary Com.
mittee to decide which of them have the best right to
sit. Should both the Liberals maintain their seats it
will be a gain of ono vote to the Opposition.
I am, Sir, &c.,

Knaresborough, July 12, 1852.

DEATH OF SIR GEORGE HENRY SMYTH, BART.
We have to announce the death of Sir G. H. Smyth, Bart.,
of Berecburch-hall, Colchester, and formerly for many years
M.P. for that borough, which took place on Sunday last.
He was son of Sir Robert Smyth, the fifth baronet, by the
daughter of Mr. 11. Blake, born in 1784, married in Isl 6 the
daughter of Mr. George Elmore, of Penton, Hampehire, and
succeeded his father in 1802. Their only issue was a daugh-
ter, the late wife of Mr. Thomas White, of Wethersfield.
hall, Essex, whose eldest daughter, in default of male issue,
is heiress to the Berechurch estates. The deceased Baronet,
who was of Conservative politics, was first elected for Col.
chester in 1835 ; and, with the exception of a short interval,
continued to represent the borough until February, 1850,
when he retired in consequence of declining health, and was
succeeded by the present Member, Lord John Manners, her
Majesty's First Commissioner of Woods and Forests. Sir
Henry Smyth was of a warm-hearted, generous, and hos-
pitable disposition, and was considered a fine specimen of
the old English country gentleman. lie was in the 68th
year of his age.
ADELPHI THEATRE.—The revival of Jack Shep-
pard, announced for last evening, was necessarily postponed
in consequence—we have very great regret in stating—of an
accident which disabled Mrs. Keeley. The occurrence took
place yesterday at rehearsal, when, in consequence of the
support of a ladder yielding, Mrs. Keeley, while in the act
of personating the hero's escape from the " Round House,"
was precipitated to the ground and lifted thence with a se-
verely sprained ankle. The disappointment felt by many at
the postponement of the play was slight compared with the
universal regret with which Mrs. Keeley's mishap was re-
garded. Sprains are, however, of very different degrees of
intensity, and we have only to hope that that endured by
the lady in question is of the slightest. While writing under
the heading of the Adelphi, we may as well state that Ma-
dame Celeste has returned, after a most prosperous and bril-
liant successful American tour, to rejoice her old admirers in
the Strand with her picturesque and piquante style of acting.
PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—MT. Spencer Lambert,the treasury and free-list office, takes his annual benefitwill to-

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
HERALD.—TeII it not in Gath! Publish it not in
the streets of Ablation! Aye, by our faith, but we
will, and that loudly, and never cease nrecleimieg it
till every ceuety in England rings with it. Ilene it,
men of Britain—Mr. Cobden has said, and the nines
has conferred upon his statement the slight authentica-
tion which long years of falsehood and misrepreseetee
tion have left in its power to bestow—" Henceforth the
towns are to rule broad England!!" Hear it, ye county
electors, and tell us how you relish the boast! From
the eweltering cellars and steaming garrets cf Man-
chester and Leeds are to issue forth in their rags and
their squalidness—from the mine and the pit ale to come
in their swarthy nekedness—the men who are to sac-
ceed as rulers in England, the Via yeo-
manry who have carried her banners, vic-
torious by sea and land, femn the snows of the I
Arctic regions to the swamps and forests of India,
and the sandy deserts of Arabia and Palestine. We
think we hear the shout of derision and scornful
laughter with which the descendants of the bowmen of
Poictiers and Agincourt salute the announcement. These
are the men who have redeemed by their labour the
brown heaths of Northumberland and the Cheviots from
the heather and the brackenbush. These are the men
whose stalwart arms have beaten back the rough sea
from the Fens of Lincolnshire, and by whose aid—to
use the words of their worst enemy—the agriculture of
England had climbed the hill-tops, and spread happiness
and contentment abroad through the land. But these
and such as these are no longer to have a voice in the
Government of the country they have made so great.
Not they, forsooth—they are dullards and clods, more
stupid than the beasts they drive. So says Mr. Cobden,
and for once in his life he will have spoken the
thing which is, if they submit to his audacious
claim. Up, then, and be doing, yeomen of England.
Consider what mercy you can hope for if you give
way, and are faint-hearted. Where are you to look for
forbearance? From men who know not the word—from
the men who have whitened the plains of India with the
bones of the hand-loom weavers—who have laid waste
the fields of Ireland, and made a howling wilderness of
the once-flourishing plantations of Jamaica, Demerara,
and Trinidad—who have driven out thousands upon
thousands of the farmers and labourers of Ireland to
colonise or to die; and who will do as much to you, and
more ciao, in order to conceal for a time the failure of
their one-sided system of free trade, and farther gratify a
cupidity which is as insatiable and as remorseless as the
sea. Bat these men of the loom and the
forge, the spinning-jenny and the steam-engine—
these new rulers of England—must have leaders.
Let us examine who they are to be. One good
the present struggle will be productive of, even
if it give us no other, it will set the true Englishman
face to face with his enemy. There can be no half-

That

as huge as useless, and as isolated as one of the vast
blocks of Stonehenge—
" A brotberless hermit—the last of his race t"
the sole eurvivor of an evil brotherhood, which almost
struck down honour and honesty amongst public men,
by proclaiming the fatal dogma—that a statesman might
be a deciever in his public capacity, and a man of inte-
grity in private life, and who by breaking up the ties of
party, made a chaos of the politics of England for seven
years. What can Sir James, thus isolated, now look to?
If we can believe his speeches at Carlisle, he must
seek to be the Denton of a new Jaccbin conspiracy.
We trust there is enough of loyalty and religion
still left in England to disappoint his bad ambition.
The democrats of England's towns must look else-
where than to either of those broken factions. Stand
forth thou man of " unadorned eloquence," Richard
Cobden. Ile is not of the stuff of which the subduers
and tamers of wild revolutions are made. After all, the
people of England have a strong strain of aristocratic
tendency in their blood; and, if it tasked the energies
and talents of a Cromwell to induce them to submit to a
brewer, we do not fear that Cobden is the man to force
them to bow down before a bagman. But a sturdier
form, and far more dangerous man, stands behind him.
We own to a certain degree of respect for strong John
Bright—Friend Bright! From such friends good Lord
deliver us. He is of the communion of Fox—not
Charles James, of whom Tom Payne said, years ego,
that they had but one nursuit in life, money, but
that in following that their foot was as steady as
that of time, and their appetite keen as death. The
records of the Commonwealth prove, that although the
qualities last mentioned are invariable, the object of
pursuit may change. Pym swore to have Strafford's
head, and after twenty years of unceasing and relentless
pursuit he triumphed. Such a man, in some respects,
we take John Bright to be. Hood tells us a story which,
perhaps, may account for the existence of this pugna-
cious man of peace. The humorist states that some
time since a member of the Society of Friends was re-
duced to the point of death by wasting fever and the
bleedings consequent thereon. The quackery of that
day was transfusion of blood, and a strong and healthy
rustic was induced to allow a portion of his vital stream
to be transferred to the empty veins of the expiring
Quaker. The man recovered, but unfortunately
found that the new liquid circulating in his system
had been derived from the exuberant vessels of a
prize-fighter. The unfortunate man became so quarrel-
some that he was engaged in constant rows, and finally,
having broken the ring at Moulsey Hurst, and, in a
paroxysm of philomachy, severely beaten the winner in
a pugilistic contest—he was road out of meeting, and
history mentions him no more. Could this innocent
combatant have been an ancestor of sturdy John Bright?
As we are in the humour of story-telling, we wish to
record a fact which may be worth the consideration of
a man for whom we have a tisr higher.ea regard than

tyranny they exercise over the women and children of
those districts. They are also aware that the casualties
of the billy rollers and unprotected machinery would
yearly furnish a list of lives lost and limbs mutilated
which might well bo shown as competitor with a similar
report after a hard-fought action against the enemies of
England. The soldiers have little respect for the mill-
ocrats ; and surely the latter cannot expect the agricul-
tural yeomanry of England, whom they are trying to
grind into the dust, to fight another Peterloo to save the
mills of Manchester from an exasperated mob of over-
worked and under-paid artisans. Perhaps it Iney be the
new militia that they depend upon to fight their betties—
alas! as wo showed before, we fear this body is likely to be
agricultural also. We shall conclude with a few words
from one of our ablest writers, to show the nature of
that spirit, which we would fain repress, and its certain
effects upon a nation's welfare. Speaking of the strange
fact that the national welfare of Rome survived the
fearful proscriptions of Marius and Sylla, and the mas-
sacres of Augustus and Lepidus, Mr. Crolly finally re-
marks—we quote Irons memory:—" Although the
sword be a fearful instrument of polity, it still carries
with it some ennobling associations; but it is democra-
tic revolution with
its
endless incannesees and jealousies,
its ceaseless suspicions and its merciless scaffolds, which
extinguishes a national mind." May England esOBPB

aware of the Marquis of Exeter's sentiments by means of
his nominees in the House of Commons—but of nothing
else. Whatever advantage or ease it may be to a Go-
vernment that power such as this should be lodged in
private hands, a very different view of the question is
token by that party in the country which would gladly
see our electoral arrangements modified to suit the cir-
cumstances of the time. If corruption and bribery
should be abolished surely the existence of nomination
boroughs equally militates against the theory of the
constitution. Stamford is not the only one, but it is,
perhaps, the most notorious on the list, from the tem
that the Marquis of Exeter, instead of returning some
Lord Henry or Hon. John, has generally placed one of
his two seats at the disposal of whatever member of the
Government he supported was the least able to please a
constituency.—Times.

THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE.
(From the Atheneum.)
Definite arrangements have been within the last few
days entered into with Messrs. Fox and Henderson to
re-erect the Crystal Palace in the grounds of the com-
pany at Sydenhani—if indeed that can be called a re-
erection in which the alterations are so many and so
material as to leave the building in possession of hardly
any of its original features. To the old characteristic
lightness and airiness will now be added a majesty and
grandeur of outline that bid fair to be surprising. The
means which, under the direction of the-company's ad-
visers—Sir Joseph Paxton, Mr. Wild, Mr. Owen Jones,
and Mr. Digby Wyatt—have been taken to effect this
are mainly the substitution for the old central transept of
one of greatly increased diameter and height, accom-
panied by two of the size of the or;ginsi one, near the
ends of the building; and finally, the adoption for the
whole length of the nave of a circular or waggon headed
roof, of the same height as those of the two smaller
transepts, into which it will merge. Thus, the wish
which, during the Exhibition, was so often expressed,
that the transept roof had been carried cut throughout
the whole building, will be satisfied; while over all will
tower a dome of immense proportions—as far surpassing
that under which the crystal; fountain of 1851 used to
play as that surpassed all previously known.
All these new constructions will be of a kind suited
to the intended permanent character of the palace. For
example, the wooden transept ribs will be substituted
by iron ribs of increased strength and more aerial ap-
pearance; and the strength of the glass will be through-
out increased by nearly one-half—from 16 ounces per
foot to 21. As the galleries in the existing building

of the different quarters of the world fullyrhiesticvegetation

sented; and this will be done without that
oppressive which is so much felt in the Palm iouseat
Kew. Among the foliage will be interspersed
casts of the most noted groups and statues
of the world—both those of antiquity and those o.
the great home and continental sculptors of the present
d ty—in a manner which will be new to the great ma
jority of those who witness it, and will at once set limn
the long-vexed question of the right accompsnimentst
sculpture. Amongst these sculptures many Englishmen
will make their first acquaintance with the finest works
of Fraccaroli, Tenerani, Kiss, Schadow, Danneker,
Thorwaldsen, Jerichua, Pradier, and the other great
artists of the German, French, and Italian schools.
There will be several quadrangles devoted to the illus-
tration of the successive periods of architecture and or-
namental art, and the national manners. Thus,
the illustration of Indian life wid be collected in
a representation of the court of an Indian palace,
palace, with reception-rooms, &c., and with its adjoining
bazaar and shops. So, also, with the Chinese. The
architectural series will extend from' the 13j zentine
period to that of the E.enaissance—different courts or
quadrangles being appropriated to, and filled with, spe-
cimens of the productions of tho successive ages.
Amongst these will be, a court of the Alhambra, pro-
duced under the immediate care of Mr. Owen Jones,
and a Pompeian 'louse by Mr. Wyatt. In one of the
smaller transepts will be collected reproductions of the
most wonderful of the remains of Egyptian art and il-
lustrations of Egyptian manners. Among these will be
conspicuous the sitting figure of an Egyptian king, from
Aboo Sirnbel, in Nubia, more than foriy-flvo feet high,
completely coloured after the original. In the basement
below the present ground floor will be produced one of
the large Egyptian tombs.
With the series of architectural and ornamental casts
will be combined all such illustrations of extinct or dor-
mant processes of art as may be interesting as affording
either illustrations of the pest or hints fur the future.
Thus, in connexion with Italian art will be introduced
specimens of fresco, tempera, egraifito, mosaic, &c.—in
connexion with mei:mval design, specimens of eali-
grapby, metal working, mural decorations, embroidery,
enamel, niello, &c. All these, by means of caste, fac-
similes, and in many cases of the objects themselves, are
within the reach of the directors; and the whole will be
so enclosed'by foliage, interspersed with statues and other
ornamental objects, as in no way to interfere with the
harmony and entirety of one general impression.
Largo spaces will be left for the general purposes of
exhibition; in which it is intended to have geological
exhibitions—arranged not as mere collectiors, bat so as
to render it impossible not to comprehend the order,
construction, and connexion of the various strata and
their contained fossils, the appearance of the country
lying over each, &c. Also exhibitions of the great
staple materials of the world, from their raw condition
through all their various stages up to the most perfect
manufacture:—involving the preieree of machinery of
the most complicated and interesting description in full
work.

.GLASGOW, JULY 10.—Cotton—The bustle and
excitement of our election during the week have very ma-
terially interfered with the usual course of business; any
sales that have taken place were restricted to the immediate
wants of spinners, and in some instances there was an ap-
pearance of a little yielding in price ; this remark, however,
does not apply to the hetetr descriptions of cotton, which are
scarce, and held at high rates. There is no change to note
in the value of goods. Iron—The demand has been rather
flat this week, and as sellers predominate, prices have de-
clined about ls. per ton as compared with this day week.
The terms for pig-iron to-day are 425. 6d. to 435. for mixed
Nos., and 435. to 435. 6d. for No. 1. The meetings have
been thin in consequence of the elections. Manufactured
iron is without change.
