One of great merit, and if carried into effect would have re-
flected honour on the Corporation of London ; but they
found that the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway
Company had obtained an act of Parliament empowering
them to erect a viaduct for their line across Ludgate-hill,
and had expended such large sums of money in constructing
their works as to render it impossible for them to abandon
the viaduct, which was an essential part of it. The directors,
with whom the committee put themselves in communica-
tion, declined under those circumstances to consider any
alternative plan, and the committee had to relinquish an op-
position which was hopeless. The company, however, had
undertaken to build a viaduct highly ornamental in design
and appearance; but he believed that, decorate it as they
might, the thing would be a great eyesore in that part of
the metropolis for all time. (Hear, hear.)

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
THURSDAY.
A very interesting race for the Queen's Plate over the
Beacon Course began to-day's eel t. Six horses entered for
it, though in reality only Harlequin and the sinter of the
Goodwood Cup were in the race, which, before they had
breasted the hill, was left entirely to them. The issue was
never in doubt, however, for the game Molina answered to
every call of her rider, and came in a clever winner by half
a half. Walloon carried off the Handicap Sweepstakes, de.
feating the favourite, Croagh Patrick, after a good race
between them, by half a length. The Sixteenth Triennial
brought together Midnight Mass, Evelina, and Ely, with
five others of lesser degree. The Baron's filly was made
the favourite, Ely being also backed for some money.
Owing to a very straggling start Evelina was left a long
way in the rear,—a disadvantage which she did not recover,
and the race, which was looked upon almost as a certainty
for her, was won cleverly by Ely, Midnight Mass succumb-
ing half way up the cords, and the celebrated Tomato gain-
ing second honours by three lengths from Olivia.
The Two-year-old Handicap, bringing 16 to the post, was
won by Land of the West, who made all the running, and
won with the utmost ease by three lengths. The Plate A.F.
Maurice put to Lord Strathmore's account, the favourite,
Bosh, being second. The Rutland Stakes looked a cer-
tainty for Claremont, from his public running, the others
being too unknown to fame to warrant any outlay on their
chances. The Duke of Beaufort's filly made the running,
followed by the favourite, going steadily within himself,
looking as if he only waited for Aldcroft's call to come out
the winner. But to the dismay of his backers he stopped
on mounting the hill, and Acolyte, who had been lying
third, came with a rush and landed Lord Stamford's colours
by some eight lengths.
-The weather changed for the worse this afternoon, a
drizzling rain rendering the heath very disagreeable.

They started at a slow pace, Dunsinano having the com-
mand, the others lying nearly abreast for the first two
miles, when he was beaten, and suddenly dropped into the
rear, the lead being left with Harlequin, close up with
whom was the favourite and Crafton Lass, the others, one
by one, giving way. On entering the rails Isoline joined
Harlequin, and half way up obtained a slight lead, which
she retained to the end, and won very cleverly by half a
length. Crafton Lass finished a bad third the others
trotted in some distance in the rear.

consequence did not reach the post in time to start. After
one failure they left the post to a straggling start, in which

Mass, lying wide on the extreme right, came oa with a clear
lead, followed in the centre of the course by Olivia, Tomato,

Mrs Bentinck, M.P., on Foreign and Home
Affairs.

Last evening the Marshland Agricultural Asso-
ciation held its annual dinner at Terrington, St.
Clement's, near King's Lynn, the Rector of Milling-
ton, the Rev. H, Flokes, presiding. Mr. G. W. p.
Bentinck, M.P., and Mr. B. Gurdon, M.P., Were
amongst the company. In reply to the toast of his

health,
Mr. BENTINCK said—Gentlemen, you cannot for-
get that we alt have our opponcnts, and that even
agricultural associations have theirs; and amongst
the various opponents we have had no more active
nor powerful one than the limes newspaper. There
are, probably, very few present who do not read the
7inics, and I will appeal to you whether we have

not seen in the course of the last few years a series

of attacks upon associations of this kind, upon the
objects for which they were instituted, and upon the
results which were likely to accrue from them. Now,
gentlemen, that newspaper is a very powerful an-
tagonist. It is powerful from its wide circulation—
it is powerful from the almost unrivalled ability of
its writers, and it is also powerful from the equally
unrivalled power of sarcasm and sophistry which it
brings to bear upon every question with which it
deals. (Hear, hear.) I would ask you to remember
that the Times, though professing to be the organ
of public opinion, is more especially and notoriously
the organ of those who financially, and, therefore
politically, are the avowed antagonists, and I might
almost say the enemies, of the rural districts of this
country. It is the organ of the great capitalists.
It is the organ of those whose interest it is to see
dear money and cheap labour. Now I apprehend
that the interests of the rural districts is to see
cheap money with a remunerative result for labour,
and the produce of that labour; and I venture to
say to you, and I appeal to the proof of history,
that there is no country in the world which may
not be tested by that result. Wherever you find a
full remuneration for labour, and for the produce
of labour, you will find the wealth and the pros-
perity of that country on the increase ; wherever
you find the value of labour, consequent
upon the decrease of the value of the produce of
that labour, falling, you will find disaster. That I
hold to be an axiom which no one will venture to
dispute, and if he does dispute it he will dispute the
history of the world. I have always considered
that the interests of the landowner, of the occupier,
and of the agricultural labourer, are one and iden-

ical. (Cheers.) They are inseparable ; they cling
. .

together by the closest ties, and there is but this
distinction between them—that, unfortunately, in
this world the man who has the least feels the
pinch the soonest. With that exception, I for one
contend that there is no possible distinction to be
drawn between the interests of the landowner, the
occupier, and the agricultural labourer. They must
sink or swim together. When one does well, all do
well ; when one noes badly, all do badly ; and it is
by their union that they can preserve their position
in the country. Thelimes—acting wisely, I ad-
mit, in its own generation—has endeavoured to sow
dissension among those classes ; it has endeavoured
to show that these associations were got up for sel-

fish and for useless purposes, and that the rewards
offered were inadequate to the merit of the services
which were praised. I venture to think for one
that those attempts will fail throughout the rural
districts of this country ; and I will only ask you to
remember when you read the limes—however much
interested you may be by the great ability of the
writers, however much amused you may be by
the amount of sarcasm and sophistry which they
bring to bear upon this question—that it is an ex-
ponent of an interest, numerically small, though
powerful from its wealth, but which is antagonistic
to the interests of the rural districts of this coun-
try. Now, gentlemen, the last time I had the
good fortune to be present on the occasion of the
meeting of the Marshland Agricultural Associa-
tion I ventured to address you upon the subject
of the war which is now raging in the northern
continent of A'nerica, and I then expressed the

opinion that the policy, and I thought the duty, of
this country was at once to recognise the indepen-
dence of the Southern States of America. (Hear,
hear.) I think that the result has shown I was
right. We have all been horrified for two years
past by the tyranny practised by President
Lincoln, and by the brutalities of General
Butler. (Hear, hear.) I think there is justly no
limit to the strong expression of disgust with which

the accounts of the transactions in that country
have been received in what I, in contradistinction
to them, will term the civilised world. We as
Englishmen have learned that we ought to be
thankful for those monarchical institutions under
which this country, thanks to Providence, has en-
joyed the greatest amount of rational liberty ever
known to any country in the world. (Cheers.) And
whenever the time comes when we are called upon
to discuss a question of—l will not use a word
which creates alarm sometimes in public assem-
blages—but whenever we are again called upon to
discuss the question of any revision of our institu-
tions—l will put it in that more circuitous form—
I venture to think that, without reference to party,
there are very few present here, or anywhere in
England—excepting one particular party, which I
am sure is not represented here—who will not at
once say, " Let us be careful before we tamper
rashly with those institutions under which we have
enjoyed sach manifold blessings." (Cheers.) But,
gentlemen, since I had the honour of addressing
you last, very nearly in the same locality, a new
subject has arisen, certainly of equal interest, and
perhaps, as far as this country is concerned,of almost
equal importance—l refer to what is going on in
Poland. Now there can be no doubt, if we could
deal with every question in the abstract, upon its
own merits, that there are few men in England
who would not say, and who do not say, that they
deeply deplore the sufferings of the Poles ; that
they deeply lament the course which has been
taken by Russia in dealing with her Polish sub-
jects; that they, as Englishmen and lovers of
freedom, would do all in their power to alle•
viate the sufferings of those people. In that
sentiment I in the fullest degree coincide ; but un-
fortunately it is utterly impossible to deal with any
great public question upon that limited, though
natural view of the subject. We must go farther
into the question. We must see first what has
given rise to the state of things which we lament,
and we then are bound as Englishmen to ask our-
selves next what will be the effect of our conduct
in dealing with this question upon the welfare and
the prosperity of our own country. The hon.
gentleman then went on to give his views as to
the cause of the present condition of things in
Poland. He considered that the insurrection was
not brought about the oppression of Russia, but by
the machinations of the Church of Rome. France's
sympathy for Poland he believed to be entirely a
selfish one; and he was, for both those reasons,
glad that England had expressly declared her
determination not to involve herself in a European
quarrel on account of Poland. Referring to home
questions, the hon. gentleman continued as follows'
