EPSOM RACES—THE OAKS DAY.
PRIDA.Y. —The anticipations of a numerous and
fashionable attendance for the Oaks were fulfilled by the
result, for although the Downs were not encumbered
with an enormous mass of human beings, as on Wed-
nesday, the company was far more select. The large
proportion of private carriages with fashionable parties
On the hill, and the number of ladies on the Grand
Stand, rendered this a most successful termination of the
meeting. The private stand and the enclosure exhibited
the usual array of leaders of the Turf and business men.
In the number of distinguished and fashionable visitors
Were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, his
Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his
Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours, his Excellency
the French Ambassador, the Duke of Richmond, the

18 morning though fine was exceedingly close and
sultry, and certain indications of an approaching thun-
derstorm were observed by persons skilled in meteorolo-
real prognostics. No change, however, took place in
Egan
weather till after the Oaks race, when the rain
suddenly to descend, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, and so violent was the storm, that it caused a
gielneral rush of the company to every available place of
8 ller. The Grand Stand and all the booths on the
numbers,
were instantaneously filled to suffocation, but
silliThers, unable to get under cover, were thoroughly
trenched in a very few minutes. For nearly an hour
In rain fell incessantly, and the last two races were run
a Perfect deluge.
This unexpected and disagreeable finish to the day's
vrt caused a hasty retreat from the Downs, covered
0-;rriages and cabs rose suddenly to a premium, whilst
vehicles were at a serious discount.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Mr.
Robert Owen in favour of opening the Crystal Palace on
Sunday as a rival to the gin palace.
The Earl of CARLISLE presented petitions from
Hull and Bristol praying for the prohibition of the sale
of intoxicating liquors on Sunday.
THE TURKISH QUESTION.

The Earl of MALMESBURY rose, pursuant to
notice, to put a question to the Government respecting
the negotiations now pending between Russia and the
Porte. He regretted to say that, whatever might be
the issue of events, the appearance of events did not
justify the promise and assurance which the Foreign
Secretary had given their lordships on a former occasion.
On that occasion it was stated that the whole object
of Prince Menschikoff's embassy was simply the settle-
ment of the question of the Holy Places, and the
public anxiety was, in consequence, very much alle-
viated ; but since the speech of the noble earl,
Prince Menschikoff had come forward with an entirely

different demand, and what was now required was
that the Porte should sign a treaty with Russia,
guaranteeing to the Greek subjects of the Porte
the continuance of all the rights and privileges which
had been at any time granted to them by the Sultan. It
was evident that if such a treaty were signed, the Em-
peror of Russia would become the arbiter between the
Porte and its subjects. He wished to ask whether the
instructions given to Lord Stratford were identical with
those given to the French Ambassador at Constantinople,
and whether the ambassadors of this country and France
were acting together in supporting and encouraging the
Porte at the present emergency.
The Earl of CLARENDON said that at the present
moment he was sure both the noble lords opposite and
the house, would not insist on pressing him for infor-
mation which it would be inconvenient for the public
service at this moment to give. (Hear, hear.) The
latest official information from Lord Stratford was
