IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

(TIIIS EVENING.)

HO USE OF COMMONS.
Th:re being only 27 Membm present at Four o'Clock the House ad-
journed till to-morrow.

D SPA TCII.—The Sovereign (Campbell), of Glas-
gow, sailed from Plymouth upon the 27th June, 1837, for Bohai t
Town, Van Diemen's Land, discharged and loaded there for Valparaiso,
discharged and re-loaded for England, and arrived at Swansea upon the
21st May, 1838, having completed the voyage round the world in 10
months and '24 days!

Since last year two alterations have been <ffected in the " cnn-
stitution" of this meeting, both, we may say with cenfidenee, being
calculated to add to its popularity. The first is the addition to the
stewardship of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, who, as well as his colleague
Baron de Tessier, resides in the neighbourhood. Sir Gilbert is a
straightforward and liberal supporter of the turf, and possesses in a
very high degree the esteem of his neighbours and brother sports-
men ; the choice, therefore cannot fail to giNie satisfaction. The
other change alluded to is in the (lays on which the Derby and Oaks
will hen6eforth be run. Hitherto they have been decided on
Thursday and Friday, and the consequence has been that tha Oaks
has proved a listless, worn out, lackadasical affair, or something
like the day after the feast; the public tired, the horses stale, the
finery tarnished, the stands half filled, and the provisions short and
uninviting. By suffering a day to intervene, the pleasure-seekers
get time to " shake their feathers," the jaded posters a little needful
rest, the caterers to provide creature comforts worthy of the occa-
sion ; and the Oaks, as a general result, instead of s sbmitting to a
second-hand reputation, to become a " grand" day on its own ac-
count. The alteration, therefore, affecting at once the prosperity
of the races and the convenience of the public is deserving of every
commendation. In other respects the arrangements are on the
same excellent plan as usual.
If the success of the meeting depended on the nature and extent
of the sport yesterday, there can be nothing to fear, for the racing
was sufficient in quantity to satisfy any moderate person, and of a
quality on the whole to leave no ground of complaint. Moreover,
it is due to the stewards to state that the different stakes were run
with Newmarket precision as to time—a virtu3 rarely found in
racing matters. 'With the exception of one or two shoe ers, the
weather was delightful, and, if the attendance was not large, it was
on a par with the average of the first day, here and elsewhere.
From the list of subscribers at the grand stand, and other sources,
we are enabled to give the following fashionables as a portion of
those present:—
Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, Duke of Beaufcrt, Marquis of
Exeter, Earl of Albemarle, Earl Stradbroke, Earl of Suffield, Earl
of Chesterfield, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of Wilton, Count Bathiany,
Count D'Orsay, Baron De Tessier, Lord Villiers, Lord Walde-
grave, Lord H. Bentinck, Sir J. Shelley, Sir G. Heathcote, Hon.
General Grosvenor, Colonel Anson, lion. G. Byng, Colonel Peel,
Hon. A. Villiers, Messrs. Greville, Payne, IL Coombe, J. Stan-
ley, Errington, Ricardo, Worrall, J. Bayly, Crommelin, Bain-
bridge, Copeland,Williamson, Williams, .1. White, Dolphin, Clive,
Broadhead, Etwall, Gardnor, Shelley, Peyton, &c.
Many of the higher classes took up their quarters in the grand
stand, and we can state for the comfort of those who find enjoyment
in the good things of this life, that the catering comprehended all
that th most fastidious appetite could desire, and that the charges
were on a scale which could not'displease. This important feature
of the Derby day was entrustedlist year to Mr. Careless, of the
City, who proved that he had not lived within
.a stone's throw of
Guildhall without profiting by it. It is this year under the manage-
ment of a Mr. fucker, of Rathbone-place, who, on this, his
" opening day," has shown that he understands the policy of doing
business on a liberal scale. _ .

yards between Redear and Oberon, end won by a neck. In the
third, Redear made all the play, and won in a canter.
