THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1852.

Sous le memo drapeau, vainquour des factions,
Ramener les enfans de a mere patrie,
Consoler tea douleurs, 6 Niob. meurtrie,
Et convier le people aux grandes actions.
Saluons, saluons, la fete universelle
Qae promet le travail et quo benira Dieu:
La vapour ontr'ouvrant ses cent ailes de feu,
Et les sillons oiz l'or de nos gerbes ruiselle !

L'aigle a repris son vol et plane sur nos champs;
Sous un cell radieux la France enfin respire,

Et revs en souriant un immortel Empire
Qu'un peuplo enthousiaste acclame de ses chants.
Refaisons des tableaux dignes de la Genese ;
Quo tout renaisse et vive, et que de toutes parts
Les plus desherites puissent prendre leurs parts
A 'lun de ces banquets que peignait Veronese.
Les Muses, qu'effrayaient taut de cris inhumainfi,
Vers les cieux en pleurant remontaient desolees
Muses, revenez-vows, calmes at consolees,

Sous les arcs de triomphe dlevls pas nos mains.
(due I'art, les monumens, les tableaux, lea statues,
Prince, disent tout haut quell jours to nous a faits.
Et comment sous llclat de tea hardis bienfaits
Les sourdes passions devant toi se soot toes.

U Prince, I'avenir qu'hier to Mcondas
Nous ramene aux splendours des ages magnifiques,
Et pour suivre avec toi tes aigles pacifiques,
Les Franvais, to I'as dit, seront tous tes soldats I

Je suis la Muse Proplaetique,',
Le passé me dit Pavenir ;
Toujours jeune et toujours antique,
Le monde ne doit pas fink.
La Jeune France martiale,
Qui va guidant Phumanit6,
Avec 'ldea imperials
Rentre enfindans sa majest6.

Nous rialiserons le rave
Qu'avait forme Napoleon:
Le Louvre, qui par toil s'acheve,
Prince, sera ton Pantheon.

After the recital of the ode, which was much ap-
plauded, the name of the author Wail called for, and
M. Arsene Houssaye, the director of the theatre,
was declared to be the man. The President soon
after withdrew.

Politics and poetry appear to combine very ami-
cably together; and the rural communes show a de-
cided preference for metre as the channel of their
wishes and their prayers. The members of the
Municipal Council of the classic district of Chazay-
d'Azrgues (Rhone) seem to have made the same
discovery as M. Pourceaugnac, who had spoken
prose all his life without knowing it. They now dis-
dain their ordinary mode of communicating their
ideas, and their demand for the establishment of the
Empire is drawn up thus :

A SON ALTESSE IMrERIALE.
Louis Napoleon soyez notre Empereur ;
Depuis longtemps ce VO3U germe daus notre cceur.
Nous desirons aussi, sauveur de la patrie,
Quo l'Empereur Fran9sis snit Roi de l'Algerie.
Sire, regnez sour nous! Proteges par vois lois,
Notts benirons le nom de Napoleon Trois.
Vous etes notre appui, notre unique esperance,
Vive notre Empereur ! Dieu protege la France !
Les habitants de Chary d'Azergues.

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

Accounts have been received from Madrid to the
9th instant.

It is thought that the Cortes will probably be called
together towards the end of November, and a general
bill of indemnity, or something of the kind, will be
proposed, so as to legalize all the measures which the
Government have enacted by decrees during the long
period in which the legislative sittings have been sus-
pended. There will no doubt be a violent, if not a
very numerous, opposition, which will refuse such a
vote; and it is believed that the first opportunity af-
forded by violence of debate, ending, as it is likely,
in a scene, will be taken advantage of for again clos-
ing the Chambers, and making the desired modifica-
tions in the present system. Some think that the
Ministers will content themselves with a dissolution
and new elections, but the more general idea is, that
a curb will be put upon the Cortes, assimilating their
powers to those at present existing in France.
The Government have, it is understood, contracted
a loan for the sum of two millions sterling with the
the house of Messrs. O'Shea and Co., for the purpose
of carrying into effect the Aranjuez and Valencia
Railway.
The Council of Ministers had come to the resolu-
tion of recognizing the Empire the moment it should
be proclaimed in France.

in thirty-six months. This is not so bad. The in-
come from the Post-office in the budget for next year
is calculated at only 23,000rhd., " it being our wish,"
to use the words of the ministerial budget, "more
and more to reach that point when Post-office income
shall no longer be looked for, but the whole be re-
garded as a means for communication and civilization."
The University celebrated the King's birthday in
the usual mnnner. But this time a !magnificent lec-
ture was given by the Rector Magvnificus, Professor
Claussen, en " The Essence and Siguification of Na-
tionality." Of course the circumatauces of the tivaes
invested this eloquent harangue with additional in-
terest, and it was listened to by a crowded audience
with attention and admiration. The peroration of
the speech was a prayer for Denmark.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE LATEST PARTICULARS CONCERNING

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ,Fo.

SYR,

Now comes apace the evening of the year,
With all its sunset glories spread around,"
forcibly reminding us sporting mortals of the close ap-
proximation of the hyperborean season, and its accom-
paniments of hunting, coursing, and steeple-chasing.
"The time of shadow and of flowers,
When roads gleam white for many a winding mile,"
has fled, or is fast gliding away, and with it the sports
of spring and summer—cricketing, rowing, and racing.
Newmarket's Houghton meeting will this week wind
up what is termed the " legitimate" racing season of
1852 ; and to-morrow week the curtain rises (at
Worcester) for the winter season, upon the first of
those reunions which have become so popular of late
years, where the steeple chase, flat and hurdle race,
play equal parts in the performance. Bat, transit Nora
sine nzora, (which, roughly translated, means that
the printer's devil wont wait) and, as I have but
twenty minutes to dot down the latest scraps con-
cerning the Cambridgeshire, it of necessity follows that
I must pay an immediate attention to that stake.
My latest advices give the representatives of the
various stables as follows :—Kent's, Harbinger ; Isaac
Day's, Ephesus ; J. Shepherd's, Sir Charles ; Saunder'e,
Hobbie Noble ; Le Jail also runs. Beresford's, Alco-
ran ; T. Parr's, Weathergage ; Bardolph, I believe, also
goes. Peck's, Hookem Snivey, and Trossoau; Bullock's,
Grief ; John Osborne's, the Cutler, and, perhaps, Lady
Agnes ; Martin's, Kbadidjah; Cooper's, Herbert; Car-
lisle's, Manifold ; John Day's, Father Thames ; Ford's,
Dulcet ; W. Scott's, Deceitful ; Harlock's Phlegra, and
perhaps, Ilex. Death's, Convulsion; E. Parr's, Sanita;
Steven's, Azael; John Scott's, Hyacinth, and Kilquade;
Dilly, Knight, of the Shire ; Stebbieg's, Alfred the
Great ; Kingston or Hungerford will also run ; Young
Stephenson's, Billy Bar • ilussey'a, Sir John Barley-
corn ; Fisher's, Plot ; Alec Taylor's, sister to Singa-
pore. Tom Taylor's Babette, with Gladiola or Lady
Evelyn to make the running. Cleary's, Brawn ;
Roger's, Pancake ; and Boyce's, Peacock.
I have been unable to ascertain for a certainty what
Dawson intends starting, although, I believe, Varmint
and Evadne will turn out to be the animals. lam in
the same fix as to Goodwin's starter, Musician and Divi-
dend being both there, and neither backed.
In addition to those given above, rumour reports the
probable starting of Kooh-i-noor, Vermuth, Henrietta,
and one or two °there, whose appearance is of little con-
sequence, as they will have no influence on the result.
Lady Amyott or Candlewick will probably also start;
but I have received no definite information concerning
them.
The interest of the race will be confined to the money
horses, nine in number, namely: Babette, Azsel,
Ephesus, Hobbie Noble, Weathergage, Convulsion,
Knight of the Shire, Hyacinth, and Alfred the Great.
The last-named ought not to be included in this category,
as he has been trusted with comparatively little cash.
Babette, last Saturday week, was tried with Lady
Evelyn and Gladiole, at the Cambridgeshire weights,
and beat the Lady with most perfect ease by five lengths;
Glauca a bad third.
Last week Azael won his trial very easily, beating
Butterfly and Longinus.
Convulsion was tried on Thursday, and disposed of
Glancer and Blood Royal, giving the latter above a stone
and a-half, and won in a canter.
Hyacinth is reported to have been tried with Daniel
O'Rourke, sad to have beat him.
On Friday, Hobbie Noble was tried with Joe Miller,
and disposed of him with the same ease that Kingston
did in the second October week.
Looking at these trials, the race would seem to lie, for
a certainty, among the winners of them; and if the place
of honour is not filled with Cotevnasacet to-morrow, I
think it must be by Azael or Babette. These three I
give to occupy the first three places; Hobble Noble,
Ephesus, and Alfred the Great, heading the ruck.
To those who may be fond of outside fancies, the hard-
worked ;Sanita, Father Thames, Dawson's starters and
Brawn, are worth trifling investments; as the present
state of the ground might capsize the calculations of the
backers of the favourites, it is in tolerable condition at
the present time • but should the rain continue all day,
it will be decidedly heavy to-morrow.--I am, &0.,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—SATurtney.
The room was tolerably well attended, and betting
more animated than on Friday, although confined to
three horses for the Cambridgeshire, viz., Robbie Noble,
Weathergage, and Ephesus; and Sittingbourne for the
Criterion. The first mentioned of this lot opened at 10
to 1, was backed heavily by the party, and closed at 7
to 1, the taker offering to go on. Weathergage also
was in force, and Ephesus had a few supporters at 12
and 13 to 1. These movements drove Azaol to 6to 1,
at which price he was quite friendless. Babette, although
not backed, was steady at 6to 1. Sittingbourne was
backed eagerly at 5 to 4, and 3 to 1 offered against any
other. Closing prices :

WHO SHOULD REPRESENT ENGLAND
AT THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S
CORONATION?

A writer in the Liverpool Albion, canvassing the
claims of various parties for the honour of represent-
; trig England at Louis Napoleon's imperial coronation,
proceeds as follows:—
It is not to be supposed that the present Duke of
Northumberland will imitate the example of his relative
at the coronation of Charles X., whereat the equipage
and retinue of the Percy wholly eclipsed the attelve of
the descendants of Clovis, his Grace literally shovelling
out gold among the crowd, of whose language he could
neither speak nor understand a syllable, to the great (1-
rision of those who contemptuously pocketed his pieces.
The present Duke of Devonshire was equally profuse,
but in a much more lse'coming style, at the coronation of
Nicholas at St Petersburg in 1826, when the princely
Cavendish shamed the orient pomp of all the Baskir
hordes of the Autocrat, despite their batbaric pearl
and gold." But who is to do that sort of thing now?
and nut to do it iu this affair would hardly meet the ap-
probation of Hume himself, as, indeed, notbitg does, for
Joo has become a veritable porcupine of late, and his
quill is ever ready to fly at any one who says bo to
a goose. True, there is Norfolk, who has the mcaur,
and is not at all deficient in the inclination to dis-
prt the sumptuous liveries of the Hereditary Earl-
Marshal of England in any Field of Cloth of Gold
where there is rivalry in megnificence. But, supposing
the Pope was there, how wcild Curry Powder, After

stirring up the Durham mustard blister of this time two
years face the Pontiff; or how turn tail without con-
tumely to the head of the Howards ? Commoners of
the right stamp might he had in abundance ; and in
these days of industrial progress, who so fitting to re-
present the " spirit of the age" as the genii of successful
labour at the throne of one who boasts his eagerness to
exalt and ennoble toil ? For instance, the great indus-
triel triurnpe of our ne3ch, the Exhibition of '5l, owed
ins introductory success, and cousequent prosperity sub-
wquently, to the circumstance of Mr. Pete, M.P. for
Norwich, guaranteeing 50,0001. towards the preliminary
expenses at a time when, but for such indemnity, all the
promoters of the undertaking, royal, patrician, and ple-
bian, would have shrunk aghast from costs which the
least hesitation would have rendered overwhelming.
The Prince and her Majesty have retained a lively sense
of that truly-megnanituous liberality since, enhanced as
it was by the modesty which kept secret the generosity.
Last week he was summoned by the Lord Chamberlain
to accompany, in his capacity of chairman of the Chester
and Holyhead Railway, the august parry in the inspec-
tion of the engineering marvels of the tubular-bridge and
its aecessoeee. But, with a nobility of mind which it is
impossible too highly to panegyrize, and which is altoge-
ther beyond the comprehension of the mere herd of
routine courtiers, he declined going—of course in the
most loyal and dutiful terms—the reason being
that he had that night undertaken to preside
at the London Tavern Anniversary Dinner of
the Benevolent Builders' Charity and would not
break that engagement. even on such a summons, lest
'
the institution would suffer by his absence, and those be
disappointed who took tickets on the faith of his being
present. His conduct in the chair was in exact keeping
with the unostentatious independence and unaffected
simplicity of demeanour that have ever characterised
him. Tnough one of the most sfluent of men of the age
—affluence acquired without the faintest imputation of
sordidness, much less of over-reaching—and though his
name is familiar in almost every part of the globe where
vast engineering operations happen to be in progress, he
thoroughly identified himself with the building business,
properly so called. As a builder, and a builder only—
in every part of whose calling he is a practical handi-
craftsman—he advocated the cause of the pensioners
on builders' bounty, contributing 200 guineas as chair-
man of the evening, and 25 guineas annual donation,
and 50 guineas from the firm of Peto and Betts.
Liberal as these gratuities aro in appearance, they fall
far short of the reality in other shapes and forms,
which he takes care not to here made known lest they
should seem to savour of parade ; but in cases where
no professional amour propre can be supposed to bias the
purity of his motive, his gists are on a scale commensu-
rate even with intans so ample as his, as in the instance 4
of the Asylum for Idiots, to which ho gave 1,0001. in one
sum, and large amounts repeatedly since, that class of
afflicted unfortunates :seeming to command his special
sympathies, as shown by an institution ho has established
in the neighbourhood of his noble estate at Lowestoft
for the novel treatment of peculiar phases of mental in-
firmity. It is men like this of whom England would
feel rightly proud—if English wealth won by English
virtues and administered by English self-respect is sup-
posed to ho typified in the person of the representatives
of our nation at the coming gathering in Paris, as was
in the cases already cited; and if heraldic nobles cannot
be found fitly to discharge the duties expected from their
status, their antecedents, and the requirements of the
moment, let us have soma of Nature's nobles, like the
member for Norwich ; end, then, at all events, we may
bo pretty sure that we shall have no need to blush for
the figure Old England will cut amidst the fungus finery
of the mushroom monarch of the 2d of December, 1851.

HEALTH Off' LITERPOOL.—The deaths last week
were 187, being a decrease of eight as compared with
the previous week, and fewer than in any week of the
preceding six months. Deaths in the parish 142, in the
parochial wards 45. From zymotic diseases the deaths
were 59, being 10 less than in the week previous, of this
number 17 were from typhus, 10 from scarlatina, two
from measles, one from influenza, and 16 from bowel
complaints, against 26 in the preceding week. Diseases
of the lungs, with consumption, caused 56 deaths, a
larger proportion of the whole than in any week of the
six preceding months. A man, aged 31, died from
excessive drinking.
TESTIMONIAL.—Sir George Grey's Testimonial Com-
mittee had, up to Monday week, received from Morpeth,
Bedlington, Alnwick, Belford, Berwick, Wooler, and
Rothbury, the sum of 313/. towards purchasing a dinner
service. Several districts, too, had not sent in their re-
turns. It is expected that the total subscription will be
upwards of 4001.
ELOPEMENT.—Last week, a young lady eloped
from Queenstown with a youthful limb of the law. The
young lady, it is stated, is the daughter of a retired
medical practitioner, and a lately made J.P.; and the
fortunate young gentleman, himself a member of the
legal profession, is connected with a firm in Cork, who
are likely to take a leading part in the prosecution of
the petition against Messrs. Murphy and Fagan—that is
should its promoters persevere in their intention.
THE RECORDER OF lIIILL.—OLIT new Recorder has
passed the ordeal of his first appearance as a judge at
Quarter Sessions with great credit to himself, end great
satisfaction to the bar and the public. Though the cases
to be tried were not unusually numerous, they were
more than usually important, and were well calculated
to test the discretion, the discernment, the legal acute-
ness, and the judicial ability of the presiding judge.
Owing to the general desire to catch a glimpse of the
author of " Ten Thousand a-Tear" in wig and gown,
the Court, during the whole of the sessions, was densely
crowded. Among the learned Recorder's supporters on
the bench, the most diligent in their attendance were the
ladies, of whom the number present was unusually
great. For them the wizard weaver of Fiction's web
formed the chief attraction.—Hull Advertiser.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A CLERGYMAN.—The
following letter has been received from a gentleman at
Galway As Mr. Seymour was returning home on
Friday night last in his gig, on the road from Clonfert
to Lawrencetown, a gun or pistol was snapped at him.
He distinctly heard the cap exploding, and saw a man
in dark-coloured clothes immediately run off in the
fields; fortunately the fire-arms did not go off. Mr.
Seymour drove as fast as he could, and reported the out-
rage to the police at Lawrencetown. The case was fully
investigated on Thursday, at Lawrencetown, before G.
Fitzgerald, Esq., R.M., and the local magistrates. I
understand that the magistrates have recommended that
a reward should be offered by the Government. The
Rev. Mr. Seymour was generally liked in the locality.
He had been obliged to order one or two processes to bo
served for the coming quarter sessions."
BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.—It is Stated
that the receipts upon this line are already between
10001. and 11001. per week. The Great Western Com •
pany have not yet commenced the goods traffic.. About
40001. per week will bo required to pay a fair dividend
upon the outlay. The opening of this line has not had
any apparent effect upon the receipts of the London and
North-Western Railway, which last week were upwards
of 40001. in excess of those of 1850. The mileage re-
ceipt of the last week of the London and North-Western
shows an increase over that of 1850.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND GREAT WES-
TERN RAaWAYS.—It is stated that the committee
appointed at the Liverpool meeting, which was held a
short time since for the purpose of promoting an
amicable settlement of the differences between the above
Companies, have had an interview with the Euston-
square, and also with the Paddington authorities.

MANCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN.—The plan for
uniting Manchester and the North with Milford Haven
and the South by direct railway communication, is new
fully before the Welch people, and great interest has boon
taken in the subject. The projects are—first, the Welsh
Union from Carmarthen, vitt Llanidloes, Shrewsbury,
to Manchester, distance 195 miles; the second, vid Leo-
minster and Shrewsbury, is 200 miles in length ; the
third, ?yid Aberyswith and Shrewsbury, distance 210
miles ; the fourth, via Lempeter, Llangurig, Oswostry,
and Chester, has a distance of 168 miles. In all these
projects the lines run into the South Wales line at
Carmarthen.
THE CONFESSIONAL AT PLYMOUTH.
is said the
Bishop of Exeter had no right to expect the Rev. Mr.
Greaves to carry this matter into the Court of Arches,
as his lordship had the remedy completely in his own
hands, se as to enable him to get at the truth of the
facts, and to shape his own decision accordingly, by the
Church Discipline Act (3d and 4th Vic., 0. 80. But it
seems the cost of the appeal will fprevent Mr. Greaves
from adopting the bishop's proposal. Mr. Gorham's
expenses in his law proceedings with the Bishop of
unless
washad
Exeter amounted to some thousands of pounds-3,0w
or 4,0001., we believe • which, although his cause
he
successful, must utterly have crushed him, i
been aided by an ample subscription.
