tribute to the funds of, any union, or society, or
for the support of "turn-outs," against their mas-

ters. These conditions they will, by steadiness and
determination, be enabled to enforce, and they
would be unwise if they opened their factories on
any other terms. As they are no longer protected
by law they must resort to every legal measure for
their own protection, and for the suppression of
the intolerable nuisance that has led to so much
mischief, such serious losses to masters, and pri-
vations to workmen and their innocent families.
If that be not sufficient to remedy the gigantic
evil, the whole matter must come under the con-
sideration of Parliament to avert the danger that
threatens all classes, the men far more than their
employers.

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR
AND EMPRESS OF FRANCE
TO ENGLAND.

It is rumoured that the Emperor and Empress
of France will visit London next month, and pre-
parations are stated to be making in official quar-
ters for their reception, which will no doubt be
unusually splendid, as far as the City is con-
cerned.

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE.-CHOPS AND
CHANGES.

The progress of speculation is still slow and uninterestr

ing. With one general exception, it has been marked
with no incident of importance ; some slight changes
have taken place in the relative positions of the leading
favourite; and some insignificant additions have been
made to the outside division.

My notes of Saturday were scarcely in type, when
these "incidents of speculation" occurred. My com-
munications will show that I had anticipated them, and
they confirmed the opinions which were expressed in the
Sun of the 15th, 20th, and 22d. After a determined and
formidable display of opposition, Orestes is gradually
regaining the confidence of his partisans. His retro-
gression in the betting has beab attributed to many causes
the staple subject of the adverse reports being shortness
of work or wildness of temper. My information, however,
contradicts the plausible rumours, and states that at
the beginning of the past week Orestes was found
" cast" in his stable. He took walking exercise on one
day only, a circumstance scarcely sufficient to retard his
preparation. He galloped long and steadily this morn-
ing, and evinced none of that viciousness for which he
is notorious. The most important movement in the turf
market, however, was that which occasioned the return
of The General to a prominent position in the list of
quotations. Soon after the publication of the accept.
ances this horse figured conspicuously in the betting,
but his performance at Doncaster seemingly discou-
raged his supporters, and his name for a time was
seldom mentioned. Two stable companions, The
Hatchet and Bit of Blue, then came under notice, but
The Hatchet soon cut it, and the Bit of Blue was not
found true-blue. The General, therefore, is now to do
battle for the " Dawson division," which comprises
many shrewd and experienced turf tactitians. The
party is said to be in earnest; and calculate with
much confidence on success ; I, however, am not
a sharer in their sanguine expectations. Sea-
horse attracts an increasing number of admirers ;
it is reported that he has been most satisfactorily
tried with Invasion, whose party have undertaken the
management of him. This rumour seemingly explains the
cause of his advance in the betting and the retrogression
of Invasion. Should, however, my information be cor-
rect, Seahorse has had a "rough spin" only and not
an actual trial. He will, it is said, be ridden by the
elder Steggles. King Pepin has not arrived; his stable
therefore will perhaps be represented by Rataplan.
Some uncertainty exists respecting the "intentions" of
the owner 'of Nabob and Grey Tommy. Both his horses
are here, and it would be in accordance with his tactics
to select Grey Tommy to carry his money. Although
in turf affairs nothing is improbable, yet this supposi-
tion appears to be too preposterous to be realised. I
believe the first public announcement of the probability
of Grey Tommy's running was made in The Sun of the
15th inst., when I included him among the " note-
worthy names" in the list of acceptances. The partiality
for Haco increases. He galloped this morning to the
evident satisfaction of his backers.

The "chops and changes " in the betting are not
calculated to induce me to alter the conclusion at which
I have already arrived respecting the probable result of
the race. I shall, therefore, reiterate, with one imma-
terial alteration, the remarks which I made on Saturday,
viz , "Taking the Cesarewitch running as a criterion, I
shall anticipate again seeing Haco and Nabob occupy
the foremost places in the encounter. To them I shall
add Mistletoe and Orestes as animals of equal title to
support. Should an outsider be destined to achieve
success, it will, perhaps, be Rataplan."
Strange hints are dropped respecting Little David,
who it is said, could at one time, when they were
trained together "run over Haco !" I shall couple him
with Hervine for a " cockboat."

I have endeavoured to compile a list of probable
starters, a task of no little difficulty. I have included
in it many horses belonging to one stable, which will,
perhaps, on the day be represented by one, or perhaps two
only. The most doubtful starters are printed in italics.
The list, I believe, comprises the names of the animals
most likely to muster at the starting post. I give it
with all its imperfections on its head :

Black Swan

Dioinedia

The unjust manner in which Mr. Drinkald's horses
have been handicapped for their engagements at Epsom
is exciting much attention. They have been most un-
fairly weighted ; their imposts are preposterous, and in
fixing them the handicapper must have deliberately in-
tended to offend and disgust one of the most liberal sup-
porters of the Epsom meetings.

against the walls of the platforms of the various stations.
This will be a very great accommodation to the public.
