NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY.
26, Cornhill, London.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
This7lnstitution embraces important and substantial advantages
with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties.
Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi-
sion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary
available resource to himself, if ne,:dial, while! lying. The Assured
has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for-
feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid.
DIVISION- O 1 PROFI N.
The continued prosperity of the Society has enab'ea the Directors
.it the Annual Meeting, held on the 10th of May, 1848, to declare a
,ixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid
on each Policy effected on the profit scale.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

A DIALOGUE at DONCASTER

Two gentlemen, whose names I need not mention,
One day last week
Began to speak
Of something which enlisted my attention.
" Pray (said the first one), had you much at stake,
And have you anything worth while to take ?"
" Not much (replied the second),
When every thing is reckoned :
A half-a-dozen sovereigns, I suppose.
Barely enough to buy a suit of clothes."
"Barely enough for what ?" exclaimed his friend,
•' You're out of reckoning there, I must contend.
A suit will never cost you that.
Wherever do you uurchase at ?
MOSES and SON
Would sell you one
For infinitely less;
A suit that you'll pronounce to be,
In point of style and quality,
A most superior dress.
Nay 'would really lay a bet with you,
That such a sum would almost buy you two,
'Six pounds, indeed, what next?
The very mention makes me feel quite Veit."
Nay (said the other), don't let me
Misturb your tranquil feelings,
I was not cognizant, you see,
Of MOSES' moderate dealings.
I've dealt for years and years with one good man,
Thy, positively, now, I'll change my plan.
Six pounds—let's see—if what you say is true, •
MOSItS for that would furnish me light through;
Yes, :MOSES would supply for that
A pair of Wellingtons—a suit, and hat.
Thanks for the hint, I'll not omit to take it,
I waist a suit, and P.L. and SON shall make it."

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the :14th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dial;
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE MUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
rxemiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE, WORLD POL [CIES are granted. whereby tho security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER yIIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three menthe after proof of the death of
the assured life.

approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in

ESCAPE OF TWO CONVICTS.—WOOLWICH, SEPT.
18.—Joseph Slater, aged 24, sentenced to ten years'
transportation for larceny and previous conviction at the
Stratford assizes, and Henry Palmer, cabinetmaker and
French polisher by trade, sentenced to ten years' trans-
portation for larceny, escaped from Woolwich dockyard
this morning, between eight and nine o'clock, by rem3v-
ing one of the bars of a window of a rigging-house, near
the ground, when the tide was out. A sentry of the
Royal Marine Corps was stationed near the place; but,
owing to a high paling recently put up. his position did
not command a good view of the window from which
they descended. It is supposed they have escaped in a
canvass suit of clothes, as the greater part of their con-
vict dress was left behind. The convicts must have
contemplated their escape for some time, as the window
frame was found to be greased so as to open with greater
ease, and an inside shutter having been generally up,
they had better opportunities of making the preparations
without being noticed. The windows of the lower
range of the rigging-house ought to be built up with
brick, as they are seldom used, and two sentries placed
on that station, one to walk the lane, the boundary of
the dockyard will, and the other to stand at the south-
east corner;

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The Emperor of Russia has withdrawn
his troops from Hungary with a promptitude and
sincerity which are more calculated to increase his
weight and influence in the affairs of Europe than any
concessions of territory wrung from an enfeebled
ally, or any act of hostile defiance to the other states
which surround the frontiers of his empire. We are
not surprised at the haughty and self-applauding
language of the proclamations in which the Russian
Autocrat has thanked his armies and celebrated their
triumph. Nor do we regret that the harshness of
some of the expressions contained in these documents
should be such as to make the Austrian Ministers
feel how little such acts of friendship are to be
coveted or accepted. The Emperor Nicholas took up
arms against the Hungarian insurrection partly from
a desire to extricate the house of Austria from the
formidable difficulties which had been aggravated by
the open and by the clandestine enmity of other
powers. But the principal and decisive considera-
tion which led him to enter upon this campaign was
the extreme danger to which the possible success of
the Hungarian Republic, assisted by the most daring
soldiers of the Polish emigration, obviously exposed
the most unsettled portion of his own dominions.
Many thousand Poles fought in the ranks of the
Magyars. Dembinski and Bern exercised a degree
of control over the military plans of M. Kossuth's
Government which might subserve their own ulterior
objects, but which was highly unpalatable to such
men as Georgey, wile probebly entertains the wonted
aversion of the Magyars to their Samaritan neigh-
bours. These foreign auxiliaries had contributed to
make the breach between the Hungarians and the
house of Austria irreparable, by encouraging the de-
position of
.the Emperor and his race, because their
only hope was in total revolution. No recognition of
the national rights of Hungary could have satisfied
them ; but it was precisely the excesses to which they
I ad contributed which brought down upon them the
whole force of the North, and terminated the cam-
paign. Moreover, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh,
extending its observation to the rest of Europe, was
well aware that the triumph or defeat of the Hunga-
rian insurrection was not a question confined to the
frontiers of that kingdom. Its consequences em-
braced the whole of southern Germany. Already, in
October last year, Hungary had kindled the confla-
gration in Vienna which rivalled the horrors of the
Parisian days of June, when the Polish Bern and the
Saxon Robert Blum conspired to overthrow the
monarchical institutions of Germany in the heart of
her greatest capital. However patriotic the inten
tions of some of the Magyars may have been, their
cause was identified elsewhere with the explosion of
those frantic doctrines and acts of violence which had
no recently spread terror and destruction through so
many of the fairest cities of Europe. At one moment
the policy of M. Kossuth had been daringly aggres-
sive ; had he become undisputed master of Hungary,
it would probably, or rather perforce, have become so
again. The termination of the Hungarian war has
interrupted a series of calamities to which it is not
easy to assign bounds. But, whilst we express our
satisfaction that the blind enthusiasm of some of our
contemporaries has not been gratified at so enormous
a price as a erolongeol European convulsion, we have
never concealed our regret that no other means of
averting it could be employed with effect, and we con-
cur with some of our habitual antagonists in viewing
with dissatiefaetion the increase which has thereby
accrued to the power and influence of Russia. That
the fact is so is generally acknowledged, and no less
generally deplored, because we have yet to learn that
the armies and agents of Russia are to be regarded as
the champions of improvement, tied it fares but ill
with freedom and civilisation if they are to be the
defenders of Europe from the most grievous excesses.
But to what cause are we to attribute this augmen-
tation of the European ascendancy of Russia, which
those who are so ready to call revolutions liberty ob-
serve and deprecate as we do ourselves ? Evidently
to the occurrence of those very convulsions which
their puerile enthusiasm was so eager to applaud;
and secondly, to the extraordinary position of British
diplomacy on the continent, which some of them have
the intrepidity or the ignorance to defend. What-
ever Russia has pima has been by the weakness of
others, rather than by her own strength—by
opportunities of influence which offered them-
selves to her more readily than if she had sought
them—by calamities which threw others pros-
trate whilst she remained erect, and which left
her mistress of her policy and resources, whilst
all the other continental States were without force
and without will. In other words, the revolution
which paralyzed the other Governments of. Europe
left her the more free to pursue her own course, even
against their aberrations, so that we may venture to
affirm that no combination of circumstances could
have been so favourable to the extension of the power
of Russia as that sudden and irrational outbreak
which swept away the habitual checks to her policy.
The Emperor Nicholas made use of his positron
with great forbearance and moderation ; but, had his
ambition been of a more active kind, he would have
found that h:s most effectual auxiliaries abroad were
precisely those Liberals who professed the keenest
hostility to his policy, but who had destroyed the
system by which that policy was controlled. The
conflict between a regular and absolute Government,
conducting its affairs with skill and secrecy, and dis-
posing of great military resources, and a fluctuating,
irregular, and irresponsible popular power, whose
resources are dispersed, and whose diplomacy is
in the street, can have but one termination.
One country, indeed, besides Russia, remained
entirely exempt from these infirmities of revolution ;
the measures of the British Foreign office were never
taken with greater freedom from external pressure or
popular debility; and if they have failed it has been
not from necessity but from choice. Nevertheless,
even when an effort has been made by this country to
oppose or counteract a tendency which she disap-
proved, it has so happened that she has not only
succumbed, but has actually contributed to promote
the result least acceptablelo British policy. We have
seen it asserted that in the Danish mediation Lord,
Palmerston succeeded in defeating the intentions of
the Russian Cabinet in the Baltic. A more erroneous
statement was never made, fur the settlement which
was ultimately adopted was precisely that which
Count Nesse:rodo had sanctioned, and every impor-
tant point in the negotiation and the war was deter-
mined, not by English suggestions, but by Russian
declarations. It was well known that the Emperor
Nicholas was resolved and prepared to act, though
with reluctance, and that we were not. So also
in the affair of Moldavia and Wallachia ; when
England protested against the Russian occupation
and was even said to have fomented the warlike spirit
of the Porte, the Russian-Cabinet simply took no
notice of our remonstrances, and declared it should
continue to hold the country. In Italy and Sicily,
when ie was found that the weight of England was
thrown on the side of the revolution, the credit and
influence of Russia increased in a compound ratio
with all the Governments we had estranged from
ourselves; and, to crown these exploits of our foreign
policy, our persecution of the interests of Austria
contributed to send her as a suppliant to Warsaw
until Russian armies appeared on the Lower Danube.
If, therefore, the Emperor of Russia hae reason to view
his present political poseion with pride and satisfac-
tion, he may thank, in the first instance, those factions
which have vveekened end convulsed the continental
States of Europe, but heowesat least an equal debt
of gratitude to that English Minister who based his
policy on the chances of these revolutionary adven-
turers, and at once threw aside the principles and the
power which this country had so long adhered to and
enjoyed in her foreign relations.
CHRONICLE.—That well known Greek motto
which is the first thing that strikes the eye of the
visitor who seeks health or amusement at the Bath
Pump-rooms, may have an undenia'b'le local appro-
priateness—but, to the mind of a Londoner, it is as far
as possible from conveying a truth of universal and
unconditional application. To, us of the metropolis
there is something of cruel and cutting irony in the
maxim that so obtrusively proclaims, though it be
but in a dead language, the virtues of the limpid
element. We know " water," or what is so called,
under several characters—but in none of them is our
acquaintance with it of such a nature as to render it
agreeable to us to hear its praises. We are familiar
with it, first, for instance, as the nominal designa-
tion and supposed chief ingredient of that foul and
fetid ditch which, under the name of " River
Thames," flows backwards and forwards, twice
in every twenty-four hours, between London
and Westminster on the one side, and South-
' wark and Lambeth on the other—charged with
the accumulated refuse of the dwellings
of mere than two millions of human beings
We further know it as a liquor that is to be
obtained from certain parish pumps in the immediate
vicinity of grave-yards, whence it comes saturated
with the reeking pollupon of countless corpses in
every stage of decomposition. And we are likewise
acquainted with it as an inordinately high priced
article of domestic necessity, which we prccure in
insufficient quantities, at inconvenient intervals, and
of variable and (mostly) equivocal quality—which we
have to store up for use in a highly awkward and
expensive fashion—and which, by dint of boiling,
filtration, and other such devices, we 'yet contrive to
render barely driukablo. Here our m( t rci Oman kuow.

ledge of what is sarcastically called " the element"
may be said to terminate. As for the " water" of che.
wintry and the poets, the London of the nineteenth
century knows it not, except as a tantaliz-
ing hearsay. Our nearest approach to the enjoy-
ment of this universal gift of nature is but a
make• shift imitation, for which we have to ray
very smart half-yearly rates. The metropolis of
the wealthiest and most powerful empire of the
world is, with respect to this first necessary of life,
very much in the condition of a beleaguered city or
an ill found ship. And, as matters stand, the evil is
a growing one. Under present circumstances, our
civilization is every year taking us further off from the
realization of that first condition of personal, domestic,
and public cleanliness and health—an ample and con-
stant supply of pure water. We lay especial stress
on this consideration, for it is the great governing fact
that ought never to be lost sight of in the discussion
of the question of metropolitan water supply. Things
are every day getting worse instead of better. With
the sewerage problem still unsolved, every house that
is added to this stupendous wilderness of streets,
squares, courts, and alleys—every new family that
swells our population of 2,200,000 souls—nay, every
"improvement," as we eall it, that is made
in the art and science of house drainage—only
increases the pollution of that vast central
reservoir into which runs all the accumulated
filth of London and its suburbs, and out of which six
of the eight so called " Water" Companies that supply
London pump up the mixture which eventually finds
its way to cur cisterns and our tables. With our
existing resources and appliances, not only is improve-
ment an impossibility, but deterioration is a necessity.
If we except the Hampstead and (partially) the New
River Company, all the water-works by which the
metropolis is provided with this prime necessity of
life derive their supplies from the Thames within
range of sewerage—that is, between Brentford on the
one hand and Woolwich on the other. Thus the case,
as it stands, is, from the nature of it, desperate. The
two million and more inhabitants of this metropolis
need never hope to know the taste of pure water—not
though they doubled their pre sent enormous con-
tribution to the companies of 350,000/. per an-
num—nay, they must expect the quality of the ex-
isting substitute to become progressively worse
than it is at present—until science, art, and legisla-
tion shall have devised and executed some totally and
generically new mode of procuring this necessary of
life. All the evils, sanitary, social, and moral, public
and private, which proceed from the universal use of
adulterated water, will inevitably grow, as London
itself grows, until we learn how to fetch our supplies
from beyond the reach of metropolitan sewerage.
This question of the quality of London water ap-
pears to us of such transcendant importance, in a
sanitary point of view, as determining, at all events,
the direction in which we are not to look for any im-
provement in this vital branch of our social and munici-
pal, economy, and, of course, as incidentally clearing
the ss ay towards a positive soluticn of the problem, that
we have thought it better to concentrate attention
on it, in the first instance. We shall take another
opportunity of dwelling on the equally material,
though perhaps less embarrassing, considerations con-
nected with the question of quantity—and likewise
on the subordinate, but by no means unimportant,
subject of price ; and when the outlines of the whole
matter are thus brought under the reader's notice, it
will be time enough to speak of the various plans,
now more or less distinctly tefore the public, by
which it is proposed to remedy, once for all, the
melancholy and shameful deficiency under which our
metropolis has long laboured. In the meanwhile, it
is with the utmost satisfaction that we observe the signs
of a powerful public sentiment forming itself on
this all-important question. Without wishing to
express or imply an opinion prematurely on the
merits of any project that is either supported or
opposed by those who are now agitating the matter,
we are at least glad to perceive that popular feeling
is fairly stirred on the subject, and that a general
agreement exists as to the essential desiderata—
namely, entire independence of the sewerage region of
the Thames, constancy and universality of supply at
a minimum cost, and unity and responsibility of
management. Notwithstanding our discouraging
experience of the qualifications of our present rulers
for dealing with a great sanitary and municipal
question, we cannot forego the hope, that by the time
Parliament next meets this matter (with some kindred
ones) will have become ripe for legislative settlement,
and that our boasted nineteenth century civilization
will at length be found competent to the task of
curing its own evils and abating its own nuisances.

AFFRAY BETWEEN POACHERS AND WATCHERS.—
On Saturday morning at an early hour seven or eight
poachers visited the preserves of the Earl of Sefton at
Altear. The poachers had just commenced operations
ov hen they were surprised by Mr. Warner, and a number
of watchers, when a serious fight ensued, which termi
!latest in the capture of seven of the poachers. The teen
were brought to Ormskirk about nine o'clock the same
morning; 4'o of the gang were conveyed in a cart,
being unable to walk from the injuries received, their
heads being much hurt. Mr. Warner, the gamekeeper,
was severely cut about the head, and some of the
watchers came in for a share. The prisoners were ex-
amined before T. Brandreth and J Imes Culshaw, Rigs.
and were remanded. The injured poachers are attended
by Mr. Symons, the union surgeon. It is supposed all
the poachers are from Liverpool; several of them are
old offenders.—Liverpool Met6try.
EMETIC TARTAR IN CHOLERA.—The French Patrie
has the following:—" After numerous observations made
on a large scale, a military surgeon at Landreciya has
published the following fact. Emetic is a means as
simple as it is prompt and infallible against the symp
toms of cholera. On the slightest derangement of the
bowels, or inclination to vomit, although the vomiting
may have begun with cholics, with or wit!i:;ut diarrhco s,
sensation of coldness, cramps, the blue stage, headache, Rec.,
a❑ emetic taken cn the appearance of one or the whelk
of these symptoms united, in the dose of from five to ten
centigramme-a, will make them entirely di,appear in less
than three hours, or in the course of the day at the
latest. This fact is so clearly proved by evidence,
that if every person inhabiting an inreetv-ci place were to
carry about him a grain or two of tartar emetic, and take
it as explained above, the cholera will never attain any
gravity, and there would not take place one death in a
thousand cases."

CHOLERA IN THE QUEE'N'S PRISON.—It was re-
ported yesterday, by parties who attended the Insolvent
Debtors' Court from the Queen's Prison, that the cholera
had broken out in that establishment, and attention is,
therefore, directed to a section in an Act of Parliament
framed in the year 1843, which should be publicly known.
By the 15th section it is enacted, " That whenever one
of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State shall
deem it necessary the prisoners, or any of them, shall
be removed on account of any contagious or infectious
disease in the prison, or upon any other emergency, it
shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, by a warrant
under his hand, directed to the Marshal or Keeper of the
Queen's Prison, to order that such prisoners shall be
removed, in the custody of the said Marshal or Kuepsr,
to sueh'other place of imprisonment as the Secretary of
State shall shrect, such place being first reported by the
Marshal or Keeper of the Queen's Prison to the Secre-
tary of State as a safe place of custody, and fit for
the reception of such prisoners, and wht.n such disease
shall have ceased, or the purp,see for which the priso-
ners shall have been removed shall have been fulfilled, it
shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, by a like war-
rant, to order that snob prisoners be removed back to the
Queen's Prison, and any place to which any prisoners
shall be removed under such warrant shall be deemed
during their imprisonment therein to be a part of the
Queen's Prison, and no such removal of any prison:r
stall be construed to be an escape."
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—During the whole
of last week there was much anxiety felt on account of
the absence of the usual American news, by which, in
some measure, business war disarranged. The tidings
brought by the last steamer have not, as yet, had much
effect on this market. Though Liverpool market is
expected to be higher, most of the cotton goods that
were sold in the Manchester market yesterday went off
at a slight reduction. Most of the manufacturers, how-
ever, are firm, and have refused all offers, except at the
full rates. The market is exceedingly unsteady, and a
very trifling amount of business is being transacted.
Shippers aro doing little, their business being confined to
actual orders. The home-trade houses are complaining,
and it is thought by some that cholera is preventing
many buyers from appearing in the market. Man-
chester, however, has been so favoured hitherto that this
cannot have much influence. Yarns and heavy goods
are in no better condition than last week, and but very
few sales are effected.
SOUTIVEASTERN RAILWAY.—We understand that
the directors have determined upon carrying out all the
important financial recommendations of the shareholders'
committee of investigation. The dividend to be declared
to-morrow for the past half year—which, it i 3 to be
borne in mind, is the worst six mouths of the railway
year—will be a reduced one. It is rumoured that the
dividend will be about 10s. or 121.
LATE FIRE AT CAunninGE.—An inquest to in-
quire into the manlier in ,which the late fire in this town
originated was commenced on Monday last, at the Town
Hall, before Mr. C. 11. Cooper,
deputy for Mr. 1). King,
the coroner for the borough, and a number of witnesses
were examined. The further investigation was ad-
journed till yesterday evening. The inqairy was insti-
tuted in comquence of rumours which were circulated
to the prejudice of character.
The orders for the Hecate steam- sloop to equip
and sail with all speed from Portsmouth for the Cape of
Good Hope, issued on Sunday night, were superseded by
others on Monday night, returning her to her former
state.
Pleasure is like a cordial, a little of it is not in-
, jurious,.but too much destroys.--. Eliza Cook's Journal.

EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Having fled from the City to Brighton to escape
the risk of cholera, and finding that even there pre-
cautions are needful, we consequently on the morn-
ing of this eventful day made a tolerable breakfast of
cald roast beef, ham, and partridge, and took (we
confess it with shame for the prevailing degeneracy
of the present day) tea, the succedaneum of the blood
of barley, characteristic of the golden age of Homer,
when man and beast were fed with the same cereal.
Remembering the last words that fell from the lips of
Socrates, " Crito, we owe a cock to Esculapius ;
pay it, therefore, and do not neglect it ;" and, conse-
quently,
appears to know so little about cholera, we did not
paying due respect to the divinity, who
neglect to close the orifice of the stomach with a drop
of eau de-vie de Cognac,
to intimate that another was
coming, and to complete the libation to the " God
unknown " who cures men of this frightful malady.
Aristou men udoor biou, as Pindar says, in Bloom-
field's last edition, " Brandy is best." Leaving by the
nine o'clock train, we were greeted by a splendid
day. No railway in the vicinity of London presents
more rural charms than the Brighton. The birds,
objects of the sportsman's eager pursuit at this season,
had been driven away from the broad acres and square
miles of land covered with crops into the turoip-fields,
the copses, and the heaths. The sportsman's dog
stands fixed, as if struck by catalepsy, immobile as
the living model from which it Praxiteles or a Bally

equal to a cost of 2,7001. The flocks of sheep and
the herds of cattle all graze with their heads in the
same direction, as if marshalled by the drill7sergeant.
A cow, looking up with her placid face at the rapid
train, is twisting her tail, with bovine facility, into a
true-lover's knot.
Leaving the rail at Reigate, we drive across the
delightful country of the North Downs. The South
Downs have their escarpment facing the north ; these,
on the contrary, present their precipitous decilivities
towards the south. Passing swiftly the charming
villas nestling amidst a profusion of trees shrubs, and
flowers, we began slowly to ascend the bill leading to
Gatton, memorable in the days of rotten boroughs.
To aid vehicles in the ascent, a stone tram-way has
been laid down for a quarter of a mile, similar to the
one in the Commercial-road, constructed by Mr
Walker, for the conveyance of East India goods from
the docks to the City. All the way up this ascent the
most striking beauties of natural scenery meet the
eye in every direction; on the right Leith Hill, with
its commanding column, is raised up far into the sky.
The South Downs are visible in the remote distance ;
numerous and beautiful hills are thrown up in the
foreground, the tops of which are enlivened by the
busy mill hurling defiance at the Quixotic spirit of
the present age. The new station of the South-Eastern
Company in the centre, their old one to the left, are
animated by these half living and semi. intelligent
engines to vs hich we are indebted for a power of loco-
motion now become a necessary of life. A small
modern structure, in imitation of the Gothic style,
points out the spot, well deserving a visit, where, in
a deep cave, the Barons of England met in consulta-
tion prior to their enforcement of the great charter
from John at Runnymede.
To the right the hills of Kent bound our view.
Below is a huge and precipitous hollow, which, on the
South Downs, would be called a coombe. Every
where the eye takes in long tracks of wood, the re-
mains of that enormous series of forests which once
extended over a large portion of Sussex and Kent,
and enabled the latter county to manufacture iron,
for which, as well as cloth, it was once celebrated.
At the most elerated point of the ridge we were
crossing a light bridge, on the suspension principle,
spans the road above our head leading from one part
of the grounds of the Countess of Warwick 'to
another.
At Walton we observed four mile-posts, respectively
indicating distances of 15,16,17 and 18 miles, all placed
within a yard or two of each other, which reminded
us of the assertion of a Yankee, that as he was driven
very swiftly, he observed what he thought to be a
churchyard, from the number of grave-stones ; hut
immediately stood corrected on being assured that
what he beheld were mile-stones—a demonstrative
proof of the swiftness of their course.
The lanes we passed through in ,Surrey could
scarcely be exceeded in beauty even by the inimitable
ones of Sussex. Trees of all kinds—the oak, beeoh,
ash, the mountain ash with its bright red clusters of
berries, and the accacia with the Australian character
of its leaf, seemed to be the combination of unaided
nature • whilst the residences of the larger landowners
were skirted by brood borders of larch and fir plan-
tations, which, if not collectively so beautiful, are,
however, equally as, profitable to the agricultural eco-

nomist.
Scarcely a cottage was to be seen unadorned by the
rose, the ivy, the dahlia, the honeysuckle, the holly-
hock, or the sunflower ; the latter enshrined in im-
mortality by the beautiful language of Moore, and its
symbolic illustration of constancy. Before we heard
this song, the sunflower had seemed the most unto-
ward of plants from which to extract a poetic image ;
it had been degraded, in our imagination, to the re-
semblance of a hideous old woman with a greasy
nightcap.
What charms are there in that uncultivated heath
at Walton—nature run wild in the pursuit of beauty !
Here Cupid and Psyche seem to kiss each other.
What indescribable tints penetrate the eye! But we
must hurry on, for the Grand Stand is in sight, and
the Pindaric scene opens on the view with gay
streamers floating in the breeze from every stand and
tent. How different from the approach to Goodwood !
To the latter we ascend by a kind of giant staircase
to the Olympian heights, where walking over the
sleeping Titans, stretching their huge lengths along
the Southern Downs, we reach the delightful scene of
the gods of the race-course. At Epsom the race
belong to men, who travel by excursion trains at " an
awful sacrifice," and "unparalleled low fares." The
Goodwood stand is appropriate for the aristocratic
few, Epsom for the oligarchic many. Each side of
the Epsom course, for half a mile in length, was lined
by tier on tier of men in the sombre habiliments
which characterise our country, varied by the occa-
sional display of the more brilliant dresses of the
women. Vehicles of all kinds, men of all grades,
and beautiful women crowd to the Downs, just befor.7,
tenanted only by flocks of sheep, whom, if they could
not be covered by a sheet as a pack of hounds, were at
least covered with the material from which our
blankets are made. Popular and rustic amusements,
unknown to Goodwood, engage the attention and
delight the mixed multitude who flock to Epsom,
where the natural darkies and the artificial, in imita-
tion of semi-savage life, are especial favourites.
What an enchanting sight to an Englishman, and
especially to a Yorhehireman, from the vicinity of
Hambleton Moor, is the stripping of the noble animals
who are to contend, as eager for and as delighted in
the race as the bipeds for whose particular entertain-
ment and profit they are brought hither. The round
barrel, the broad and deep chest, the small head, the
slender neck, the powerful muscles of the hind quar-
ters, the springy tread of the foot, lighter than gos-
samer, are all conspicuous, as well as other beautiful
adaptations known only to the cognoscenti. In what
a profusion of rainbow colours are the riders distin-
guished, themselves rendered, by training, light and
corky, and ready to fly over the moon, if provided
with a suitable Pegasus. But no winged steeds of
fabulous times are wanting now to import a charm to
the brilliancy of the scene which the handicap pre-
sents, with its valuable stakes, amounting to 8901.,
for the victor. Ten horses were put through their
paces, to incite the crowded betting ring to support
their favourites, and to challenge the field. Loud
were the bidders against the field, which indicated
either that some of the horses were great favourites,
or that the mathematical calculus had been brought
into operation to educe a large profit out of the long
odds.
The new Derby course, recently constructed, now
gives the spectator from the grand stand a full view
of the starting and of the whole course of the field.
For more than half the length of the course all the
horses, save one, might have been covered by a sheet.
At Tattenham Corner the competitors began to sepa-
rate a little, skilful jockeyship was called into full
play, the power and mettle of each steed was urged
to the uttermost, and Kissaway came in first, with
the Maid of Masham second, and Mounseer the third,
the other seven horses having no place in the estima-
tion of the judges of the course.
For other particulars of the day's races better
authorities must be consulted. As regards running,
the Derby day itself could not present a richer treat
to the true sportsman. The initiative has been given
at Epsom by the spirited exertions of Mr. Dorling
and his supporters to add autumnal and spring races
to the grand summer display; and fresh opportuni-
ties and inducements have been thereby afforded to the
cultivation of the horse-race, in the prosecution of
which pursuit " panting nations toil'after us in vain."

RTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM AUTUMN MF.ETING.

Whatever opinion may be entertained of the policy cf
this meeting in the week between Dunerstsr and
imaiket, or peshaps of having an awl.= meeting at
no one will withhold from Mr. Dorlir,g the merit of
lrg done all that was possible to render it af.ti active-
-5004 given to one day's racing speaks volumes of his in-
tentions, and whatever the results may have been in a
pecuniary point of view, it will be admitted that on tidy:,
as on all previous occasions, he has catered fur the
ernusemcnt of the public wall and euccessfully. The
Brighton Railway DirEctors went hand in hand with
him, and we have to record to th, it credit, that instead
of raising the fares, as at the summer races (a most objec-
tionable practice), they reduced them to so low a mark
r<F, to make it a question if the traffic was sufficient to
cover the sum contributed to the fut_cl and the workirg
expenses. That, however, is a question for the share-
holders—all that we have to do with the matter is to
mention the fact as a proof of a dettralinatiou that
nothing should be wanting on their part to ensure succe4r,
and to add that the unusual, facility thus ariorde d,
coupled v.ith fine and seasonable weather, induced hun-
dreds to have " a day on the Downs," who, had tl:e
screw been applied, would have remained at home. In
giving the directors credit for their conduct in this te.
spect, we feel bound to say that their arrangements
were far from being satisfactory—in proof whereof we
need only mention that three trains were at the Carshal-
ton station at the same time; fortunately no accidet t
occurred, but so much time was lost by this mismanage-
ment, that great numbers did not reach the Downs until
after the first race was run! The assemblage on the course
was much larger than we had anticipated—it embraced
a good proportion of the frequenters of " the Cerner,"
and a few fashionable!. On the whole, however, we
fear that the experiment, if it enabled the metropolitans
to enjoy a capital day's sport, could not have been other-
wise than a losing one to its promoters.
The racing commenced at half-past one o'clock and
terminated a few minutes after six.
