NOTICE.

All remittances are, henceforth, to be made to
Mr. JOHN CSAPLIN, at The Sun office, 112,
Strand, who has been appointed, by the Lord
Chancellor, Receiver and Manager of The Sun
newspaper, and the outstanding debts due in
respect thereof.

On Wednesday next the Japanese Ambassadors
and their suite will have an opportunity of behold-
ing a sight worth seeing—England's great annual
Holiday ! What Lord PALMERSTON a few years
since aptly designated—" the Isthmian games of
Englishmen !" That contest of contests—the win-
ning of the prize, in which Mr. DISRAELI happily
symbolised long before then, as " the Blue Ribbon
of the Turf !" A spectacle, to witness which, not
only the major part of the population of London
streams forth by read and by rail to air itself upon
Epsom Downs, but together with that huge propor-
tion of theinhabitants of the metropolis,a wonderful
collection of sight -seers drawn thither from all quar-
ters of the United Kingdom. It is the Londoner's
Holiday, of course, par excellence. But it is the
Holiday likewise, and hardly less, of "All the
World and his Wife," to say nothing of their very
numerous family in attendance—" Country cousins,"
as Punch sings," flocking in dozens" from nearly
every nook and corner of the provinces. Already
their excellencies from Japan have witnessed many
curious scenes during their sojourn amongst us—
ever since their white flag with the blood-red
moon in the centre of it, has been fluttering over
the parapet at Claridge's Hotel in Brook-
street, Mayfair. They have beheld" more things"
in one way or another here in England, than have
ever yet been " dreamt of in their philosophy I" But
of all the spectacles yet displayed to their view
since their arrival in this country, the one about to
be scanned by them on their way to and from, but
above all during their stay atEpsom Downs on Wed-
nesday next (no farther off than the day after to-
morrow), will, for a dead certainty be recognised by
them, one and all, as incomparably "the" most
characteristic at once of the land and the people in
which and among which they are now sojourners.
It has been judiciously 'arranged that the
Japanese Ambassadors shall be conveyed to the
Derby--the legitimate way ! That is by the high-
way, and not by the railroad— their excellencies
travelling, not cooped up, however snugly,
in a train, but according to the good old-
fashioned mode of journeying in voguebefore the in-
vention of the steam engine, in open carriages and
four, with postilions. So that the whole panoramic
display will thus be witnessed, in its entirety,
from the doorway of CLARIDGE'S to the central
plat©

Grand Stand, w
the latest exemplar of the grandest horse race
in the world. In this way, of course, as a
wholly unprecedent portion of the motley
throng, the Japanese will themselves on Wednesday
next " astonish the natives," if only
by the
eccentricity of their appearance- But we
may rest tolerably well assured at the
same time, that the natives will, in their turn, in
that way, afford their excellencies far more than
an equivalent. Naturally they will be providing
one another with that perpetual craving of all
civilised nations, whether of the East or of the
West, of Europe or of Asia—a new "sensation
Only the sensation afforded to that strange little
groups of Japanese visitors must be multiplied by
all the whimsical avocations of the oliday-makersfor
swarming around them " out (like h
themselves)
The Derby! And far more than that multiplie

vast concourse there collected together. Speci-
mens of the of roXXol, and of the "creme de
la creme "—the pick, of the male portion at
least, of the Upper Ten Thousand, and
anything but the pick of that larger and more
miscellaneous circle around it yclepped generically
The Million. Blacklegs and pat rieian s—swells and
trampers—knaves and fools—the pigeon and the
rook : here the town sharper, there the country
bumpkin—lords and roughs—all huddled together
there, upon the course : as wild and noisy all the
livelong day as the Carnival
at Rome in its last
mad frolic: as confused and varied as ever the mob
and the booths of Vanity Fair appeared to the won-
dering eyes and ears of CHRISTIAN. On the road
thither—all sorts of vehicles, from the dapper drag
of the four-in-hand club, to the costermengere tray
