from the kingdom of Poland, obstructs the solution of the
peasant question, and threatens the final destruction of the
Province, unless we are restored to administrative unity
with a country which possesses the same traditions and
wants, and the same notions of civil and religious freedom,
and future progress, as ourselves.
"In laying before your Imperial Majesty these their real
wants, the Podolian nobles trust in your feelings of justice
and friendship as the only hope for them of putting an end
to their present sufferings, and assuring them of a happier
destiny for the future."
Such sentiments and wishes are those of the whole
Pol;sh nation ; and it would be ridiculous, as it is
impossible, for the Emperor of Russia, even with
his ukases and his hordes, to quench or destroy that
patriotism which is the birthright and the pride of
eeery true Pole.

GLOUCESTER RACES.-TUESDAY.

The extraordinary heavy rain on Sunday, which appears
to have been general throughout England, left the race
ground at Gloucester in a miserably wet state. The course
has been well drained, but the Severn, which abuts the
land, having been flooded, left the surface very " heavy"
and sloppy. Notwithstanding this drawback large fields
contested the several events, a nnmerous company as-
sembled,, and the weather remaining beautifully fine, the
meeting appeared to be enjoyed by those who lent their
patroaage. The following are details of the day's running :
The Scurry Handicap, a Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, 2 ft.,
with 25 added ; for horses of all ages ; winners after the
publication of weights to carry 71b extra. Half a mile.
2 subs.
Lord Coventry's Mousetrap, 4 yrs, 7st 61b (Maidment) 1
Mr. Bell's Pupil, 3 yrs, 6st 101 b ............ (Hobson) 2
Mr. Milton's Fits Ruyter, 2 yrs, sst 71b (car. sst 91b)
(J as. Nightingall) 3
The following also ran :—Miss Julia, Sherborne, Peahen,
Knuston, El Taranda colt, First Attempt, Surbiton Hill,
Gameboy (late Lord Nelson), and Vesper.
Betting-2 to 1 agst Miss Julia, 6to 1 each agst Mouse-
trap and Fitz Ruyter, 7 to 1 agat First Attempt, and 10 to
1 agat any other.

The patience of the starter was tested to a degree by the
refusal of the jockeys to get into line, and after a little dis-
play of refractory conduct on the part of First Attempt and
Peahen, the lot were despatched to a very moderate start.
Amongst those who got badly .ff were Surbiton Hill, Pea-
hen, Vesper, and the Eryx colt. First Attempt jumped
away clear of the rest, and for 50 yards was followed by
Sherborne, who, however, could not move in the heavy
ground, and instantly dropped to the rear, when First At-
tempt was pursued by Mousetrap, Pupil, Knuston, and
Iliss Julia. Before arriving at the distance Mousetrap ob-
tained a commanding lead and won by 10 lengths; the re-
mainder, who staggled in anyhow, were Peahen fourth, the
Eryx colt fifth, Miss Julia sixth, Surbiton Hill seventh, and
Vesper eighth.
The Gloucestershire Handicap, a sweepstakes of 10 sovs
each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards;
winners extra. Two miles. 18 subs.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Shepherdess, 4to 1 agst Brilliant, 5
to 1 agst Wortham, and 6 to 1 agst Saracen.
Tonio was first off, closely followed by ortham, Shep-
herdess, Brilliant, and Saracen, the last two being Desmond
and Proof. They ran thus at a very moderate pace for a
mile and a half, the lead having been alternately held by
Wortham,lShepherdess, Brilliant, and Saracen. Bad as the
pace was, the severity of the course had beaten all the horses,
excepting Brilliant, when they were half a mile from home,
when Desmond was at least 200 yards from the leading lot.
Proof, when well up with his horses about half a mile from
the finish, fell, and rolled over young Nightingall, who re-
ceived a severe injury to his left shoulder. A quarter of a
mile from home there were only four in the race, and so
well was Brilliant running that neither Tonio, Shep-
herdess, nor Wortham was virtually in the race. Coming
round the last turn Brilliant came away, and cantered in
ten lengths in advance of Shepherdess. 'Wortham walked
past the post.
The Croome Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for two-
yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b; winners extra.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Abernethy, 7to 4 agst Kennett, 6
to 2 agst Jesuista.

The last-mentioned rushed to the front, followed by Fat
Jack for a quarter of a mile. The stout gentleman being
beaten at this point retired, and Kennett hotly pursued
Jesuista, whom she caught at the half distance, aad beat
by a length; Fat Jack was a bad third, and Abernethy was
never in the race.

The Innkeepers' Plate of 30 soya, added to a Handicap
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 1 ft; winners extra. One

Acton pioneered the way attended upon by Colonel
Crockett. About a quarter of a mile from home Ledbury
joined them, but subsequently gave way to Rockley. The
latter had all his horses beaten at the distance, where he
Came away and won by two lengths. A length separated
the second and third, and Ledbury a bad fourth. Dominie

Betting-3 to 1 each agst Pot Pourri and Jacob, 7to 2
each agst Bucephalus and Ned of the Hills, 5 to 1 agst
The Miller.
Bucephalus jumped off with a slight lead, but was
quickly headed by Alba, Millstone, and Ned of the Hills.
Ere they had gone a quarter of a mile Ned of the Hills and
Alba came away, and on passing the Stand was fully 50
lengths in front of The Miller, Jacob, and Pot Pourri. Ned
of the Hills. who completely overpowered the boy, ran
against a post, but did not injure his rider. Pot Pourri and
Jacob gradually drew towards Alba, who was beaten be-
fore making his last turn, at which point Pot Pourri took
lip the running and won by six lengths; a bad third; the
rest straggled in.
