England and India by way of the Red Sea, cannot be
too highly estimated—and whose letters on the subject
• . ,t7.t " to
tzlt Egyptian flower and 0 ciViii2atiOn v-c trot, Little to
time appeared in our columns—has just published a
pamphlet; dedicated„to the Meniliers of both Houses
of PArlitiiiient; it faidur of thir of the
national independence of Egypt, and the lawful sove-
reignty of MEITENLET ALL The subject certainly de-
, serves consideration; but the time selected for submitting
it to the attention of the Legislature is most inaus-
pitiath. neAda-, WAaildiMnoes trot •nb:tii to
us to have considered the question in all its bearings.
He regards the downfall of Turkey as inevitable—as.-
sures us that the seeds of dissolution have taken root
in the vufy heart of the Ottoman dothinidii---7-aild offers
as a consolation for the establishment of the sway of
Russia on the Bosphorus the novel and splendid spec-
tacle of England and France rocking the cradle of Mo-
narchy
ragypt 1 This will never b. On no account
must England permit Russia to fix her seat of empire
on the shores of the sea of Marmora ; for were that to
happen, we would not give a farthing for the inde-
pendence of the newly-established Monarchy of Egypt.
The question for consideration is this :—Can Egypt
be declared independent without materially diminishing
the actual power of the PORTE, whose existence is
so necessary as a barrier to the designs of Russia ?
There is nothing affirmative in Mr. WAGHORN'S
pamphlet upon the subject. His proposition through-
out appears to be that Turkey must perish, and Egypt
become independent.

1,1'1!) f'l4 14e5t 131 ever peen on a second day at Epsom, the
assemblage yesterday, a....0de. tsrstrserous and respectable,
fell short of what the supporters of the rnCtii::f?, !".7,(1 a right to

and the muster of the horsemen on the hill was large, but
there certain''. w4,4' 'lis a good attendance of general company.
We regret this the more, :"..E !.."0± Stewitds and inhabitants
have exerted themselves with spirit and il'o'Cirty in catering
fer the amusement of the public. The pickpockets iiiillftred
in immense numbers, but they were so closely watched by the

The rannittg fer the first mile was made by Edgar. Magician
then took it up, foliated by Adrian and Mic Mac, and maintained
it till near the Grand Stand, where Adrian began creeping up. A
few yards further he was at Magician's quarters, and a stride or
two from the Chair at his head—a very severe race, ending in a
dead heat. Mic Mac was so good a third that his owned decided
on starting him for the Derby. The betting on the second heat
was 2tol on Magician. Adrian made all the running to the dis-
tance, where Magician challenged, and they ran abreast until within
a stride or two of the Chair, where Magician made a desperate
effort, and won by a neck, after one of the most interesting and
closely contested races ever seen on this or any other course.

after the second, even on Gauntlet.
THE DERBY.

The most striking feature in the afternoon's betting was the
unaccountable advance of Wintonian. At one time he was
quoted as low as 10 to 1 ; why, we are quite unable to state.
He then, with about as much reason, gave way a second time,
and when we left the Downs was at 25 to 1. Phosphorus and
Mickle Pell receded several points, and were without backer&
Hybiscus and Wisdom were in demand, but the change amongst
the principal favourites was not sufficiently marked to require
notice. The last prices were
