SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.
The only alterations of any importance that have taken
place since our last, upon the Manchester Trades' Cup, relate
to the Queen of Trumps, Usury, Jupiter, and Altamont. The
first-named is now considered as certain not to accept for the
race, and is consequently entirely out of the betting ; the
second and third (Jupiter and -Usury), have each found many
backers during the last few days, at several points less odds,
whilst a rumour being in circulation that Altamont will not
accept on Monday next, he was retrograded to the present
figure. Red Rover's party are still very firm, and accept of all
the fives to one offered against him. There is not much doing
upon any of the others, and their prices remain as last week.

STAG HUNTING.

TWO EXCELLENT DAYS WITH THE KING'S AND DR BURGH'S

STAG HOUNDS.
On Monday last the King's Hounds met at the Black Dog,
Bedfont, and drew a numerous field of Noblemen and Gen-
tlemen ; amongst whom we noticed the Noble Master the
Earl of Errol, who arrived in a splendid carriage and four,
followed by the Earl of Uxbridge and suite, Colonel Standon,
Captain Fairlie, Messrs. Learmouth and Vvses, and a large
field of equally well-mounted gentlemen. On' inquiring of
Davis what deer was to be turned out, found that it was an
untried deer ; but to insure sport his Lordship, with that fine
noble feeling for promoting his brother sportsman's pleasure,
bad provided a second !

Now Charlie, he of the Magpies, gave the office to move to
the back of the Black Dog, near the bridge ; but whether
through mistake or superior orders, the deer was turned out,
instead of on a rich man's land, on poor man's ground, and
away he took across the brook—a stopper to many. "No
standing here I" says the Colonel—and first over. Tailing
now commenced, over the Bath road, and on by Feltham,
through Kimpton Park, by Sunbury, crossed the Thames, and
was safely taken at Hampton Court, after a sharp burst of I
twenty-five minutes up to the river. By this time the princi-
pal part of the field had enough; but a few of the good ones
returned to Bedfont, about seven miles, • where the second
deer was turned out, and took gallantly away for Stanwell, and
over the meadows at a racing pace, for Longford--.few but
Davis with the hounds—lying a moment at Colnbrook, and
permitting the field to come up. A fine burst through Hitch-
ing's Park, and over to Sutton-green, through Langley,
turned there, and made up for Iver-green, and was safely
taken at Iver, after an excellent sharp chase of fifty minutes.
Two better chases I never rode to in one day.
De Burgh's Stag Hounds met the following day at the-
favourite Three Magpies, and drew, as such meets usually do,
a field of first-rate riders, who know that something is in-
tended if luck is in their favour. At the usual aristocratic
hour the deer was turned out, and took away well for the fa-
vourite country (Harrow). On the hounds being laid on they
took over for Dawley at a slashing pace for Hayes, De Burgh,
Vyse, and a few others, swimming the canal, the chase now
getting interesting, as the deer was boldly facing a line of
country for Harrow, crossed the London-road by the bridge,
and on to Wexley, and up to Northolt church, over a fine grass
country to Harrow, skirting that beautiful village, and on by
Roxteth to Field-end Farm, up to Eastcot, where many had
enough; but the deer was not yet at Robottam's (the Finish),
but bent on towards Ruislip Park Woods, and over by the
Reservoir, and up towards Becher and Moor Park, bending on
to Watford, where this gallant hind was taken in a spinney
close by Moor Park, after an excellent chaee of one hour and
fifty minutes over as beautiful a grass country as a man ei;uld
wish to ride over. The line of country must have Inen from
point to point some fifteen miles, but the grows', gone over at
least twenty miles. This was one of the bee. I have had this
season.

Friday the Hounds of Waiter Wilkins, Esq., threw at
Llanvillo, and after drawing several covers without success,
they at length made for the beautiful furze cover on Alith-
villo, when, to the gratification of a numerous field of sports-
men, a gallant fox was unkennelled, which immediately made
off a slapping pace for the Berry bank, but finding that not a
safe retreat, he made from thence to the bank of the Llunvey,
but still finding no refuge from his pursuers, he directed his
course for Coedycriggin, where it was feared he would earth ;
however, undervaluing the speed of his pursuers as well as dis-
daining so ignominious a refuge, he left the covert and steered
his course across the Dillas through Trebarried Wood, in the
direction of Llandevalley Hill, but finding himself so warmly
pursued, he turned to the left, and passing through the large
wood on Pontebatt farm, it was evident he would once more
seek for safety in his former abode, but this stanch pack were
determined that Reynard should have no quarters, and soon
convinced him that delays were dangerous. Doubling his
ground once more to the banks of the Llunvey, where he was
talleyed in fine style, he sought Tregunter Wood, but being
foiled in his attempt to reach his place of safety, be again faced
the open country ; finding his strength nearly exhausted, he
turned short to the left with the hounds close at his brush, and
succeeded in getting to earth ; thus completing as fine a run
as ever was witnessed in the county of Brecon, of two hours
and forty minutes without a check.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.
- -

The Reform D:nner at Birmingham on Thursday
last, of the report of which we this day give the con-
clusion, reflects honour on that wealthy and enligh-
tened town. The number present was little short of
1,000, and the room was literally crowded to overflow.
ing. The spirit that pervaded the meeting was highly
creditable to the Reformers of Birmingham. Of the
speeches delivered on this occasion several were excel-
lent, Mr. O'Connell's in particular was in his best
style. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman told the
men of Birmingham that he could now appeal to the
common sense of Englishmen in behalf of Ireland, as
the Reform Bill, before the passing of which the name
of English liberty was a mockery, gave to the people
of England the power of determining whether Ireland
should have justice done to her, or should suffer from
mis-government, and be in consequence a burden on
this island. Mr. O'Connell very properly reminds
his English hearers, that Catholic Emancipation gave
to them ti-e blessing of Parliamentary Reform :
" When the Bill for Parliamentary neform was brought
forward in the year 1831, mark how the majority of the
Representatives, as they are called, or, in other words, the
majority of the Members of Parliament for England, were
against that Bill ; the majoity of those who called them-
selves the Representatives of Scotland, but who were not
the Representatives of the Scottish people at all, were also
against that Bill. How, then, did it go through a second.
reading ? Because the majority of the Membels for Ire-
land was so overwhelming, that it turned the scale."
No wonder that the Tories should be so anxious to
shed the blood of the Catholics—should be so anxious
to revive religious prejudices, in order to kindle the
flames of civil strife. The first use made by the
Catholics of their liberty, was to aid in the rescue of
their English brethren from the domination of a ra-
pacious oligarchy. But if the Tories will never for-
give the Irish for the loss sustained in the Reform
Bill, carried by the overwhelming majority of Irish
Members, that ought to secure to Ireland in return
the gratitude of the people of England. Mr. O'Connell
stated that wherever he had presented himself in Ire-
land, he found the people ready to give bp Repeal, if
justice were done to them ; and
" Here," exclaimed the Hon. and Learned Gentleman,
" I am come to England now to say, that I will give up the
Repeal for ever, if I can get justice for Ireland. But lam
your fellow-subject, not your slave ; and I say this, that if
I do not get justice from England, I will throw myself
back upon Ireland again. I would not deserve to be co-
equal with Englishmen, if I were capable of consenting to
any hopeless tyranny whatsoever."
The reception Mr. O'Connell has met with in every
large and enlightened community of England and Scot-
land, sufficiently proves that he has the hearts of the
people of this country as well as 12:is own. The strength
of the Irish is in this union, Nothing can detach the
people of England from the Irish, so long as the latter
seek only justice. The 'Tories, indeed, would refuse to
do justice to them, because, forsooth, they are hostilely
disposed towards England. But the people of this
country are too powerful to dread being just. From
Tories the Irish have, indeed, nothing to fear ; but
if it should happen, for the first time in the his-
tory of the world, that even-handed justice gene-
rates disaffection—that kindness produces Vindictive
feelings—the Irish would then deprive themselves
of the strength they derive from their union with
all the liberal and enlightened inhabitants of Bri-
tain, and they would become the victims of their own
7,-lisconduct. But we fear not the Irish ; we fear only
the weakness which springs from an obstinate perse-
verance in injustice. The Protestant religion is in no
danger. Low must that man's estimate of the Pro-
testant religion be; who can suppose its existence in
Ireland dependant on continuing the 910,000 inhabi-
tants of corporate towns the slaves of 1,161 indivi-
&pls. Justice is now poisoned at its source. The
vile Corporation of Dublin, for instance, name the
Sheriff's who empanel juries for the trial of cases in-
volving the lives, liberties, and properties of upwards
of 300,000 citizens ; and " so strong," said Mr.
O'Connell, " is the conviction of the partiality of
these nominees of the Corporation, that many a client
of my own has frequently preferred refusing to go- to
trial, rather than trust his property or his liberty to a
Jury of their nomination." We were much ranused
by the holiday which the Honourable an,:t Learned
Gentleman allowed to the Lords. It reminds us of
an anecdote told of Johnson by Bosavell. Johnson
and Adam Smith had been disputing, Cadell's shop,
and the former had behaved rude:ly to the economist,
who left the shop in dudgeon, Robertson, the his-
torian, soon after approached, and Cadell, who was
displeased with Johnson, said he supposed Robertson
would fare no better with him. Johnson, however,
'was piqued into extraordinary politeness, and ever af-
terwards showed great kindness to the historian.
"1 shall now," says Mr. O'Connell, "advert to the
House of Lords, or the question of Reform in that branch
of the Constitution. In truth I have set that question
aside for five or six weeks. I use no argument on the
subject at present ; and why ? Why simply because the
Lords will have met, and be at their work in about six
weeks, and I am sure they will exhibit a disposition to do
mischief, which will afford a much stronger argument than
any I could use in favour of the necessity of reform.—
(Cheers.) I once heard of an Irish schoolmaster who,
when a carriage would be coming up near his school would
say to his scholars,
Come now, boys, this is the time
to show what advance you have made in unmannerliness.'—
(Laughter.) So it is with the Lords just now ; they will
be presently turned out to show what progress they have
made in unmannerliness."

It would be more than a Popish miracle indeed were
the Lords to become just, to give the lie to Mr.
O'Connell. One of the signs of the times, deserving
of some notice, is the lamentation of the Standard
that the people of England are so perverse as to de-
mand reports of O'Connell's steeches, which compels
the newspapers to supply the demand. Alas, for No
Popery I—Morning Chrinzide.
From every part of the kingdom has the shout for
Reform gone. iorth. The millions have every where
declared in favejtir of the Ministry with an enthusiasm
and unanur;ity which must strike terror into the hearts
of the enemies of good government, and which will
no uoubt exercise a most salutary influence on the
proceedings of the approaching Session. The dubious
Reformers in the House of Commons will be com-
pelled, by the force of public opinion, and the fear of
meeting their constituencies,- should they be found
wanting in support of a liberal policy to take a de-
cisive stand by the cause of the nation. The time.is
critical, and any man who shall be absent from his
post, unless through inevitable necessity, should be
considered as a traitor to his country. The character
of the Session will, in a great measure, be determined
by the demonstration on both sides made at its com-
mencement. The Tories now have no hopes from
external influence, their sole chance rests on internal
intrigue. This has already been proved, by the result
of last Session, to be inadequate to interrupt,
though it has been sufficient to embarrass, the
progress of Reform. Reform has now nothing to
fear from open enemies, it is from false friends
only that assaults may be apprehended.- Though all
are now, by their own profession, Reformers, some in
the extreme, but all in a degree, yet with many Re-
form is but a mask, assumed for the miat iniquitous
purposes—it is put on to allay suspicion—asa disguise
to gain admission to the peoples' confidence, but let us
be on our guard. Should these maskers be admitted
to our counsels, a death-blow will be aimed at the li-
berties of the country. As we anticipated yesterday,
Birmingham maintained the glory it hag already ac-
quired in its unflinching and undaunted support of li-
beral principles. The account wi:;:ch appeared yester-
day, in our second edition. of the Reform Dinner,
must give more that
ordinary satisfaction. Other
meetings are in contemplation, so that before the
meeting of Parl;:ament, there will be scarcely a place of
any Kingdom that. will . not
cownquence in the
expression of. their allegiance

to liberty, and of confidence in. the Ministry,
who are at present identified with its success,
It is madness in the Tories to suppose that they
can ever regain the balance of affairs, from which they
have been driven with as much ignominy as f ustice.
An united people is irresistible. Euelaaj, scf.,thind,
and Ireland, have sworn to support Reform ac-
tion surely rushes on its own destruckh if it dare ; and f
to
cow in collision with the milliona who are ready at a
moment to stand forth for the recovery of their rights.
The people have made a great discovery in proving
the strength of " Union''—we trust they will never be
called upon to test the effects of simultaneous action,.

LA the Tories be assured that the whole force which
thcy could array against Reform would be as a feather
in the balance—their utmost opposition would scarcely
be felt against the overwhelming might of the millions
whom a breath would put in action, if they found the
recovery of their freedom endangered.—Morning
Advertiser.

We trust that no party feeling, no political predi-
lection, will prevent any class of Englishmen from
acting according to the dictates of reason and humanity,
upon the information which has lately been afforded
them concerning the state of the Irish poor. What
need is there to go deeper than this for the cause of
the dreadful insecurity of life and property in Ireland ?
When we behold the terrible record which the Irish
Poor Law Commissioners have laid before us ; when
we find that millions of our fellow-subjects are linger-
ing on in the most horrible state of human misery and
destitution which life can endure ; when we know,
from unquestionable evidence, that the pain of hunger
is scarcely ever absent from these miserable crea-
tures, and that even the worst sort of rags to
cover their nakedness are frequently beyond their
means of attainment, how can we be surprised that
such people should be in a state of desperation, and
should little regard the laws of God or man, of reli-
gion, or of the State ? Their very nature almost as
human creatures is lost amid the horrors of such mi-
serable destitution ; or if some part of it remain, it is
but to remind them of the things—
" Queis humana sibi doleat natura negatis."
The classical reader will remember the lines which
succeed this, and how wonderfully well they pourtray
the state of the Irish Protestant gentry, who live sur-
rounded by a pauper population such as we have de-
scribed—a population which no change of circum-
stances can make worse:—

Vigilare exanimem noctesque diesque
Formidare malos fures, incendia, servos ;"
To watch, half-dead with fear, and feel at hand
The peasant's vengeance, and the lighted brand.
But while the national attention is directed to the state
of the Irish poor, and the necessity which exists for
means being resorted to by the Legislature for ame-
liorating such a state of things, let us not forget what
a lesson it teaches us of the hypocrisy of those who
have hitherto agitated the country on the subject of
Ireland's wrongs. Shall it be any longer endured that
a political impostor shall lay all the evils of distracted
Ireland to the account of the Established Church,
when we know that this misery exists, with which the
Established Church has nothing to do, save to relieve
it ? Year after year has this misery of, the Irish poor
continued, but to that point Mr. O'Connell never di-
rected the attention'of the public or the Legislature.
He knew of it long ago, but it never occupied his at-
tention or moved his heart to pity. He knew of it,
but instead of endeavouring to relieve it, he tacitly en-
couraged it, because in the wretched state of the peo-
ple, and their miserable dependence upon the extrava-
gant dreams with which the Agitator fills their ears,
the secret of O'Connell's power resides. A sturdy
independent people would despise him. It is his
interest to have them poor, and miserable, and des-
perate ; and that which promotes his interest he will
endeavour to prolong, by direct, or indirect means, no
matter how horrible the consequences may be to others.
Let the people of England bear in mind that all
Ireland is not thus miserable and destitute. That pelt
of Ireland which is Protestant is, happily, relieved from
the horrors of hunger and nakedness. The population
of that part of the island is industrious, and comfort-
able. And yet, what is the cure for the evils of Ireland
which Mr. O'Connell proposes ? The gradual extir-
pation of the Protestant religion from the country ! Is
it possible to imagine a more gross and insolent at-
tempt to add wrong to wrong—to heap up fraud and
folly, as a barrier between the common sense of Eng-
lishmen and the redress of Ireland's wrongs ? There
can be no mistake about the matter now, except on the
part of the wilfully blind. The real evils of Ireland
•are now strikingly before us, in the dreadful and ap-
palling, but still faithful picture of the shocking
wretchedness and consequent desperation of the peo-
ple. It is quite certain that wherever the population
is Protestant, that wretchedness disappears. The dif-
ference between Ireland and England is not more
marked than the difference between the Roman Ca-
tholic and the Protestant parts of Ireland. To make
Ireland as much as possible Protestant is therefore
good policy ; to take away from Ireland the means of
becoming more Protestant, is downright political mad-
ness. The political impostor, who teaches the con-
trary, insults the common-sense of Englishmen, and
laughs at their credulity, while he thinks he imposes
upon their ignorance. Let him be treated as he de-
serves, and there is some chance of the real improve-
ment of Ireland, and the political peace and security
of the empire ;—but while the.impostor is listened to,
all must go wrong.—Morning Herald.
The near approach of the period at which it will
be possible to call Ministers to account for their con-
tinued betrayal of the interests of the British nation
makes it desirable that DO opportunity should be lost
of impressing upon the public a just sense of the
pressing reasons they have to seek for redress. If, as
we believe, the policy designated by, the cant expres-
sion of " liberal measures, of which these Ministers
pretend to an exclusive patronage, be really a delibe-
rate sacrifice of national rights, for the basest selfish
considerations, there can be-no question that it is time
the true foundation of these measures were thoroughly
sifted. If, as we believe, the privileges conferred upon
the least trustworthy classes of the people at home,
and the favour bestowed upon the most worthless and
turbulent classes abroad, are merely for the sake of
upholding the personal interests and gratifying the per-
sonal animosities of the Ministers, it is high time that
they were made to answer for abusing their public
authority, in order to further their private ends. Let
it not be said that our belief is founded upon mere
party prejudice, or an exaggerated misunderstanding of
-an allowable policy. We do not hazard such grave
conjectures upon light grounds. When we find a
Home Secretary yielding that favour and attention to
turbulent agitators, destitute of talent, of character,
and even of common manners, which he withholds
from those whose station and public services demand
respect, there is enough to rouse a spirit of inquiry re-
specting the true nature of such an anomaly. The
conclusion to which we have come is the result of that
inquiry. It is true that in November, 1834, the name
of Lord John Russell was mentioned to his Sovereign
as the intended leader of the Ministerial party in
the House of Commons, and the announcement
was received with scorn, and followed by dis-
missal. It is true, that Lord John Russell,
after boasting himself the favoured choice of
an admiring and grateful people, was igno-
miniously driven from his own county by an
overwhelming majority of the gentry and yeomanry.
Notwithstanding these things—with the contempt of
his Sovereign rankling in his heart, and the disgust of
his former constituents driving him in disgrace from
their presence—he had the mean audacity to manoeuvre
his way into Parliament, and to take his seat as Mem-
ber for the scatteration of Stroud, and Minister for the
Home Department. From that hour his animosities
and his interests have equally disposed him to join the
conspiracy which is in active operation against the
interests of the British Monarchy, and of the loyal
gentry and yeomanry of the country. Incapable, how-
ever, of taking a leading part even in evil, he seeks his
mean revenge by enlisting himself as the tool of an
abler man than himself. Nominally the leader of the
House of Commons, he contrives, by the painful exer-
cise of a laborious memory, to sustain a pitiable me-
diocrity. By being always common-place, lie escapes
being ridiculous, though often contemptible. He is,
however, good enough for Mr. O'Connell's tool, and
that is his real department. The Foreign Secretary is
not less respectable in his way. Lord Palinerston's
sympathies are shown as well in the paltry hate with
which he seeks to injure the fortunes and insult the
friends of a chivalrous Prince, who has scorned his
policy and defied his power, as in the profusion with
which he lavishes the military stores of England upon
a Queen-Regent, whose life is devoted to the grossest
sensuality, and her Prime Minister, whose mind is
bent upon the Stock Exchange. Lord Palmerston,
too, has had an opportunity of reflecting, in the garrets
of Windsor. Castle, upon the favour in which he is
held by his Sovereign, and in his anxious journey to
Tiverton, upon his contemptuous dismissal from the
county which he had represented. His Lordship,

,herefore, has his spleen to gratify, as well as his
worthy colleague and redoubtable 'leader. But it is
lot alone their personal vindictiveness—it is not merely
heir mortal hate against the powers and interests which
hey are sworn to maintain, and eager to betray—that
,nakes these Ministers dangerous. They are not inde-
pendent men. They cannot afford to give up their
places ; and, since they are not able to keep them by
fair means, they do not hesitate to retain them by
means to which that epithet cannot, with any regard
to truth, be applied. If it would be too much to say
that, without their official incomes, they would lack
the means of procuring meat and drink, it is certainly
not too much affirm that to these incomes they are
indebted for the means of procuring luxuries which
they have not the ability honestly to earn, nor the forti-
tude manfully to do without. Take the three Secreta-
ries of State, and add to them the President of the
Board of Trade, the Secretary at War, and even the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and we leave it to any
man conversant with those personages, with their
-means, and the circle in which they move, to say whe-
ther the loss of their offices would not be necessarily
accompanied by personal retrenchments, very painful
to be borne by persons of such excessive vanity and
such absurd pretension. Perhaps we ought not to impute
these follies to poor Lord Glenelg, but his Lordship's
love of the repose of office is as important to him as
the gratification of vanity is to the others. Perhaps,
too, we should remember the Chancellor of the
Exchequer's Irish fortune. We do not forget it ;
but, if better off in that respect than others, his
instant sinking in rank would be greater than theirs.
Mr. Rice's elevation from the station of an Under-
Secretary is very recent. Deprived of the office to
which the poverty of talent in his party elevated
him, his descent to his former level would be as rapid
as his elevation from it has been unreasonable. We
feel how ungracious it is to mention these things, but
we are now in a crisis at which small points of cere-
mony must be overlooked. Besides, these men are
entitled to no consideration, no forbearance. When
Mr. O'Connell and his tail—when the Humes, Roe-
bucks, Gillons, and such trash—attack the interests
of a British Sovereign and British Gentlemen, they
but follow their base instincts, and though we may be
disgusted at their conduct, we are neither surprised nor
offended. The Ministers, however, who from mean
revenge, or meaner cupidity, have joined in the worst
schemes of these worthless men, deserve no quarter.
Hence it is that we are most anxious for their tho-
rough exposure. We wish to see them stripped of the
mask of imposture which they have too successfully
worn. We desire that the cant of " liberality," which
they so impudently use, should be understood to be,
what it really is, mere selfishness, of the lowest and
basest description—mere spiteful eagerness for the
gratification of personal animosity, or sordid calcula-
tion of personal profit. We hope that when Parlia-
ment assembles these Ministers will be made to feel,
as they have not yet been made to feel, that they are
not to proceed in such courses with impunity.. Hi-
therto the Conservative Opposition has been content
with merely resisting the schemes promoted by the
King's Ministers against the interests of the Throne,
'and the institutions therewith connected. We wish to
see it do something more. We hope to see the Op-
position assuming the attitude of assailants, and ex-
posing to the country the infamous arts of the
meanest and most flagitious Ministers of the Crown
that have ever disgraced and betrayed the station
which they hold, and the interests which, as Minis-
ters, they are bound in duty and in honour to support.
