Immediately after starting Amazon rushed away, and
was soon 100 yards in advance of Ninnyhammer, who
was followed by Rataplan, Scarecrow, and Buckthorn,
in the order named, to within a short distance of the
Old Mile Post, when Rataplan took second place. Ama-
zon maintained a strong lead until they rounded the last
turn, when she began to drop off, and in going down the
hill was left in the rear. Ninnyhammer, with Rataplan
in close attendance, went on with a slight lead to the

Immediately after the race for the Triennial Stakes for

Among the many fashionable visitors we noticed the

and Robert Ciiiton, Sir Joseph Hawley, Sir Robert
Pigott, Admiral Rous, the Hon. Mr. Curzon, &c.
The above details of the proceedings sufficiently indi-
cate the satisfactory character of the sport. The defeat
of Cineas by Cobnut, and the success of Bessus for the
Mottisfont Stakes, caused considerable surprise, and
were unexpectedly favourable to the " fielders.'?

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1853.

It is, of course, simply a coincidence, but, at
the same time, a sufficiently curious and remark-
able coincidence, that Fiance should have called
out a portion of her military forces at Satory,
and England a portion of hers at Chobham, at
the precise juncture when there is a probability of
war with the AUTOCRAT. In each instance the
troops drawn out in encampment have been re-
viewed with considerable pomp by their respective
Sovereigns. It was only very recently that we
received an account of the visit paid to Satory by
his Majesty the Emperor NAPOLEON, accompanied
by the Empress EUGENIE, the principal offi-
cers of his staff, and the grand functionaries of
his household. Within a brief interval after-
wards, we had the gratification of notifying the
enthusiastic reception accorded to her Most
Gracious Majesty Queen VICTORIA, and her
august consort the Prince ALBERT, by her
brave soldiers assembled together at the
Chobham Encampment. Meanwhile, we are
informed by successive despatches received from
Constantinople that the SULTAN and his Divan
are making extraordinary, and in some respects,
as far at least as Turkey itself is concerned,
wholly unparalleled exertions in the way of war-
like preparations. The VICEROY of Egypt has
promised an enormous contingent—some say a
contingent of no less than 150,000 men in the
aggregate. Besides all which, the maritime arma-
ments of the Sublime Porte have been promptly
concentrated in the neighbourhood of the Bos-
phorus, while the fleets of France and England
have already arrived at the Channel of the Dar-
danelles.

Under these circumstances we wonder how it is
just now with his Imperial Majesty the AUTOCRAT!
We wonder what he thinks, on calm reflection, of
the mission entrusted to Prince MENSCHIKOFF !
We wonder what his real feelings may happen
to be • at this moment in regard to his inso-
lent ultimatum, to the proud Note, and the
haughty Sened, and the arrogant Convention !
Everything has failed in this gigantic conspiracy
for the downfall of Turkey in Europe, and the
occupation of Constantinople. Everything has
proved abortive in relation to the great diplomatic
coup which was to have transformed the mosque of
St. Sophia for ever afterwards into a church for
the Greek Schismatics. One by one the demands of
the CZAR have been rejected by the SULTAN and
Ministerial advisers. One by one the insults ad-
ventured upon by his Plenipotentiary have been
quietly set aside by the resolute and dignified
bearing of the Divan. Ultimately, in fact, we
have witnessed how the Russian Ambassador, with
all his pomp and bluster as Envoy from the Im-
perial councils of St. Petersburgh,. has received, in
spite of all this, his conge, and been politely bowed
out of the capital of Constantinople. Baffled in his
lawless enterprise, it now remains to be seen whether
the CZAR will venture to enforce his views by an open
declaration of war, not by this time simply against
Turkey, but against the banded forces of the allied
Powers of Christendom.
An electric message of extraordinary importance
has this morning been flashed from Paris to Lon-
don under the waters of the British Channel.
According to the sententious
wordily, of the
telegraph—"TllE ULTIMATUM OF RUSSIA'IIAS BEEN
FINALLY REJECTED By THE PORTE"—aII in-HI-na-
tion dated on the 16th of June from Constanti-
nople. It will be remembered that the
6tll
instant was the limit fixed for deliberation on the
part of the Divan as to the acceptance or refusal
cf this four times proffered and four times
rejected Ultimatum. Well —the day fixed
has arrived, and again, for the fourth tine,
and finally, the Porte has refused to accept
the ultimatum. What will follow ? Shall
we say with Sir HUGH EvaNs—" There be
pippins and cheese to come yet ?" Or shall
we listen for the thunder of BAYES ? Will this
final rejection of the ultimatum, like the refusal of

Before dividing on Lord STANLEY'S amendment
on the second reading of the India Bill, Honour-
able Gentlemen will have to consider not merely
the expediency of giving time for obtaining the
further information necessary for permanent legis-
lation on this interesting and important subject,
but also the possibility of bringing the measure
now before the House to a definite and satisfactory
conclusion within the few remaining weeks of the
present Session. It is not simply that we should
give the parties, so deeply interested in the form
of government under which they arc to live, the
opportunity of being heard in their own cause, of
puttingforward and substantiating their reasonable
complaints, before they are practically shelved for
an indefinite period; but that there should be fall
and ample time to consider attentively-and maturely
the Ministerial propositions, introducing the amend-
ments necessary to remove the many grave and
serious objections that are entertained on all sides
to the complicated details of the bill—we must
not forget that Midsummer has arrived, and that
the centrifugal force that usually disperses mem-
bers of both branches of the Legislature at this
season, operates with more than usual power in
consequence of the early commencement of the
session—the sitting in November, and up to,
and during a portion of, the Christmas holi-
days—neither hereditary nor representative
legislators will, unless under very peculiar
circumstances, consent to do more than a cer-
tain quantity of business during the legis-
lative period, and there is certainly no such power-
ful claim on their sympathies and indulgence
in the present instance. The old adage that
" all work and no play makes JACK a dull boy,"
finds many favourers within the Imperial Palace at
Westminster, and our legislatorial "JAmis" have
no notion of consenting to the introduction of
any practice that will increase their natural dull-
ness, which is, perhaps, as largely developed as
the most inveterate Conservative could desire.

If proof were required as to the indisposition of
the House to enter upon a task so arduous
and so important at such a time, it would be
found in the listless and wearied appearance of
the scanty audience that could be attracted by the
Indian debate. There were periods during the
evening at which a " count out" might have
brought the discussion to an ignominious termi-
nation, and afforded startling evidence to the
Oriental subjects of Queen VICTORIA as to the
carelessness and apathy with which their affairs
were regarded. Even those who could be pre-
vailed upon, by the blandishments or ob-
jurgations of the whippers-in, to attend,
paid little attention to the arguments of the
speakers on either side, but lounged and slum-
bered on the almost empty benches, exhibiting
pictures of persons in a state of happy and tran-
quil insonceance rather than of men engaged in
the consideration of a great question materially
affecting the welfare and happiness of 160, 000, 000
of human beings, acknowledging the same allegiance
as themselves, or at least dependent on the protection
of the Anglo-Indian Government. Surely, no
better argument could be required in favour of
the postponement, which is so essential to the
correct solution of the great problem.

If delay were, indeed, so dangerous as Sir
CHARLES WOOD endeavours to show, who but
himself is to blame for such a result. Why did
he procrastinate so long ? Why did he refuse to
give intimation of the nature of the measure he
was about to bring forward until the 3(1 of June,
when more than two-thirds of the Session had
expired ? What reason, then, has he to complain
if further time be required. As we have re-
peatedly pointed out, there is something more
than suspicious in this undue precipitation, the
reckless haste with which he attempts to force
his bill through its various stages ; and it
certainly looks as if its late introduction formed
a portion of the plan of carrying by coup de
main a measure which would not bear a
searching inquiry, or calm and impartial Allis-
cussion.

An attempt has been made to convert the rea-
sonable application for delay into a party question
—a determined onslaught on the Joint-Stock Ad-
ministration, with a view to its overthrow, and
the restoration of the " DErtav" Government.
All the possible consequences of such a result are
depicted in the most glowing colours, the alarmists
giving full reins to their imagination as to the
chain of events that might follow. The nation
was to be involved in war—the promised Reform
Bill indefinitely postponed the most fearful
calamities encountered if the representatives of
the
People should not consent to be good children,
and to accept, blindfolded, whatever Sir CHARLES
WOOD may please to offer—to vote black white,
