SPORTING NOTES.

The Tomato case was again brought under notice yester-
day at Tattersalls, when it was decided by Admiral Rous
and his colleagues that the committee who pronounced the
decision declaring all beta off had no power to deal with the
case. It is to be hoped that the Knowsley case will be
dealt with in the same manner. The Newcastle Meeting
commences to-day, but to-morrow is the principal day,
when every establishment is shut as closely as on Sunday,
and the whole population betakes itself to the Moor to wit-
ness the Northumberland Plate, which may be termed the
Chester Cup of its district. The handicap for the present
race is one of the best Mr. Johnson has ever made, and
contrasts very favourably with some that have recently
come off in the South, for out of 52 subscriptions there have
only been 18 forfeits. The field will be made up from the
following :

Carbineer, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b A. Edwards.
Caller Ou, 5 yrs, 83t 81b

Carbineer, who will carry the Zetland spots, has not run
since York, where, in the Great Northern Handicap, he
failed to realise the anticipations that had been formed of
him. This was owing to the slowness of the pace for the first
mile and a half. Now, in all probability, there will be a
stronger pace ; and, if so, the horse that could beat Asteroid
at even weights last year for the Queen's Vase at Ascot,
must have the finest chance, on this occasion, cf proving
he has lost none of his form. On Monday week I selected
him as the very best horse in the race, when he was never
mentioned in the betting ; and those who followed my
advice must now have rare hedging at his present short price.
I fully expect to see him first favourite at starting., and also
to carry Lord Zetland's colours first past the post. Caller Ott
carries three pounds less than she had on in the Ascot Cup,
where she was nowhere to Tim Whiffler and Buckstone ;
and if she could not get before Isoline at their respective
weights, I do not imagine with all the assistance that Ald-
croft can give her she can carry off this handicap, more
especially as she has been Queen's Plate gathering so much
within the lest three weeks. Still she may get a place, for
the distance will be no object to her. Adventurer has
still plenty of friends who are only waiting for a stable
demonstration to back him, notwithstanding his high
weight and recent severe work. Good horse as I have
always contended him to be, still he was so shin-sore
when he pulled up after the Qneen's Vase, it strikes me he
will not be himself again for some time; and as the course
is so rough a cne, he is sure to feel it, so I must give up all
hope of Adventurer for the present. Doefoot is not at all
badly in, even with her penalty, and will run well ; but as
I have always seen her perform better over a mile and a
half than two miles, I cannot recommend Doefoot to your
readers for this event. The Monk has been so very
leniently treated by the handicapper that he was instantly
nibbled at by the public, and a shorter price taken than his
owner would seem to relish, for he went out of the market
after a very short stay. Should he return to his old price,
which his owner's money would soon bring him to, I think
he will be found better than the Ascot Stakes winner, and
the best outsider in the race. Captain Crow carries a pound
less than he did in the Ascot Stakes, in which he was a bad
fourth ; but as the distance now is half a mile shorter, the
change may be all the better for the Captain, who, like
the Monk, is a good outsider. Polynesia won twice
out of the five times she ran last year, her best
performance being in the Doncaster Stakes, in which she
beat Buckenham very cleverly. She is a fine mare and
leniently handicapped, and of course if Buckenham was in
at about the same weight, the race would be over. But as
in the Parkhill she was nowhere to Imperatrice, Hurricane,
and the Maid of Masham filly, I am afraid I must come to
the conclusion the distance will stop her. The Birthday
filly is very moderate, as is likewise The Pilot, who ran 13
times last year without scoring a race—a sufficient reason
for my not putting your readers under his guidance. Pro-
logue has nothing to carry, and I do not think would mind
the course, but she wants speed to fine her way home in
this company. Trust is not to be trusted. If I place them
in the following order I think I shall not be far from the
mark :

CAR81NEER.................. 1
CALLEROU ........................ 2
LOTHIAN'S KING .................. 3
The other events depend so much on previous running
that I will not venture an opinion upon them. With re-
gard to the Goodwood Stakes my present impression is
that Canzonette will be found the best of William Day's
lot, and that Myrtle will win the Goodwood Cup.
A FRESH MAN.

T AT TE RSALI7S—MONDA.Y.
The anxiety created by the announcement made in the
daily papers on Tuesday last, that the memorial forwarded
to the committee of the room had been favourably received,
and would meet with their serious attention this afternoon,
had the effect of attracting a larger attendance than would
have otherwise been met with here. The early part of the
forenoon was occupied by the settling upon the last week's
racing in Hampshire, which was got through with some
expedition, and some trifling wagering
the Northumberland Plate, but which exhibited such a want
of spirit, as to call for no other exposition than that
afforded in the return given below. Shortly before post
time an indication was given of the breaking up of the
committee by the appearance on the lawn of Admiral ROllB,
who was immediately attended by a host
oofl
theaogserin
crafters as to the decision of those " most learned in the
law,"
who were referred to the official noticensetxahniebeite;edauida

faction. Contrary to expectation, instead of dealing with.

at five o'clock.

SLAVERY IN BRAZIL.

Lord BROUGHAM inquired whether the noble earl the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs would lay upon the
table any papers relating to the suppression of the slave
trade. Hitherto the proceedings of the Brazilian Govern-
ment had been such as to call forth the highest commenda-
tion, contrasting most favourably with that of Spain, whose
conduct was most disgraceful, as the only part of the solemn
treaty they had entered into for the suppression of the
horrible traffic which they has religiously observed was the
reception of the money compensation which had been voted
for the purpose of freeing the slaves.
Earl RUSSELL said the whole of the information in his
possession had already been given to their lordships.
. AMENDMENT OF OATHS.

. .
Lord STRATHEDEN called the attention of the house
to the oaths required to be taken by members of the Legis-
lature with a view to legislation on the subject. The noble
lard in the course of his remarks reviewed the different
alterations that had been made from time to time in the
oaths administered to members of Parliament prior to
their taking their seats, more particularly to the last, by
which members of the Jewish religion were enabled to sit
in the House of Commons. He concluded by introducing
a bill for the purpose of altering the forms of the oaths now
in use.
Earl GRANVILLE thought it imprudent to meddle
with the present system without there was a prospect of such
a proposed measure receiving the sanction of Parliament.
The Earl of DERBY asked whether it was proposed to
proceed with the bill this session.
Lord STRATHEDEN said he did not intend to carry
it farther at present.
The bill was then read a first time.
DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFICES.
Isird EBURY called the attention of the house to the
distinction made by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in the
distribution of the Common Fund between benefices in
public and in private patronage, and also for the purpose of
resolution :—" That in the opinion of
moving the following
this house the necessity of the case and not the incidents of
patronage should be their main consideration, or laid down
by directing statute."
The Earl of CHICHESTER defended the conduct of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners, which, he alleged, was
strictly in accordance with the provisions of the statute,
and that it Wm, at the same time, not absolutely inao -
cordant with the spirit of the motion made by his noble
friend.

Lord PORTMAN said that the utmost vigilance of Par-
liament was required to watch over the proceedings of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners. (Hear, hear.) They had
enormous property at their disposal. The greater the pro-
perty, the less ought to be the cost per cent of managing it.
Yet the cost of managing the property in the hands of these
Commissioners was perfectly exorbitant—something like 20
per cent. (Hear, hear.) He could not understand their
accounts. They gave an enormous quantity of figures, but
he could not, with the utmost attention, be sure of the re-
sults which he was led to deduce from their figures. He
recommended his noble friend, however, not to press his
motion, as he had received the assurance of the noble earl
that the object of his resolution would be attended to.
The Earl of HARROWBY said that the management
of the estates in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commis-
sioners cost only four per cent. per annum, and he did not
think that any noble lord could manage his private property
for less then four per cent., however large it might be. He
assured his noble friend and the house that it was impossible
to manage property more economically than the property
held by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
Lord EBURY withdrew his motion.
