portion of her Majesty's dominions in Upper Canada, and to
satisfy the earneat desire of the people of that province, it is

the jealousy and dissention which have hitherto existed on the
subject of the Clergy Reserves, to remove a barrier to the set-

(FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE GOODWOOD STAKES.)
After one false start the lot got away in compact order, with
the single exception of Half-caste, who ran close to the rails
on the right, several yards wide of the ethers ; at the corn-
mencemei.t of the turn in the clump he was in the proper
' track, with a lead of eight or ten lengths, Orelia second, Glen-
livat several lengths behind her, the Drama at the head of the
ruck, and Hetman Platoff in the rear. They kept this order
round the turn, when Half-caste shut up, and Glenlivat took
up the running, Orelia still second, Mickleton Maid third,
with Potentate and Domino forward. On entering the straight
course, Hetman Platoff joined tha front rank, and at the dis-
tance, Orelia and Glenlivat changed places, Mickleton Maid
and Hetman Platoff following them. Hetman passed Glenlivat
near the Stand, but was unable to catch Orelia, who won easy
by two lengths. The Drama was fourth, Mickleton Maid fifth,
Domino and the Potentate next. The others were beaten off a
long way. The pace excellent. Mr. Bowes declared to win
with Hetman Platoff.

The company, as it invariably is here, was highly fashion-
able. The Duke of Richmond's party atGoodwood consisted,
besides the Duke and Duchess de Nemours and suite, of the
Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Duke and Duchess of Bedford,
Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl and Countess of Al-
bemarle, Earl Verulam, Earl Stradbroke, Earl of Lichfield,
Earl of Eglinton, Marquis of Normanby, Earl of March, Lord
G. H. Bentinck, Lord Cantilupe, Lord Wm. Lennox, Lord A.
Lennox, Lord Maidstone, Hon. Capt. Rous, Hon. G. and Lady
Agnes Byng, Hon. Col. and Mrs. Anson, :Sir G. Shelley,
Col. Peel, Messrs. C. Greville, Irby, M. Stanley, Thornhill,
&c., In consequence of the death of Sir Arthur Paget,neither
the Duchess of Richmond, her daughters, nor any of the ladies
above-mentioned attended the course. Besides the above-
named personages, there were present Lord Godolphin, Lord
Andover, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord C. Fitzroy, Sir H. Seymour,
Cols. O'Meara and Charritie ; Messrs. Gardnor, Etwall, D.
Radcliffe, Ladbroke, Portman, Pettal, Worrall, Congland,
Cronmellin, Walker, Hawker, Neville, &c.
Of the racing or the precision with which everything con-
nected with it was conducted, it is impossible to speak too
highly ; so admirably was the time kept, that notwithstanding
there were two Stakes on Tuesday with gentlemen riders, the
last heat of the plate was only a few minutes over the hour
fixed by the Stewards.
The keeping of the course, &c., was entrusted to a detach-
ment from the A division, and Superintendent May, Inspector
Pearce, and Sergeant Otway. It is almost needless to add that
the best order was maintained.

THURSDA Y.
As might have been anticipated from the quantity and su-
perior character of the sport provided for this, the " Grand"
day, a large and fashionable assemblage was attracted to the
course, including their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Nemours, and most of the Goodwood visitors.
By twelve o'clock, at which hour the Racing Stakes was
run, the stand presented a brilliant display of rank and beauty,
and every part of the course was well filled up ; a considerable
number, however, unaware of the punctuality with which the
races are run under the present excellent stewardship, did not
reach the ground until near one, and thus lost two interest-
ing races. Having in a former report given the names of the
principal visiters, we shall only add a few which we have since
collected : —Count D'Orsay, Earl of Errol, Lord Southamp-
ton, Lord and Lady Powerscourt, Lord Adolphus Fitzcla-
rence, Hon. General Grosvenor, Hon. T. Rous, Sir Harry
•
Mildmay, Sir Lynn Stephens, Mr. Clive, &c.
The weather, although not so hot or so bright as on Wednes-
day, was fine, and the sport plentiful and good. Before describ-
ing it we should state that two fresh races have been made for
Friday, viz. a Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, half a mile. Ca-
pote, Bst 121 b, Assagai 7st, and f by Taurus, out of Plaything,

lent order, the Dey of Algiers taking the lead at a great pace,
followed by Pocahontas, Beggarman, and Grey Milton next,
Hetman, Lanercost, and Naworth in the rear ; they travelled
in this order till within a mile of home, when the Dey was
beaten, and Beggarman took up the running, followed by
Pocahontas, Hetman Platoff, and Charles now lying forward.
Halfway up the distance Lanercost went to the front, which
was now composed of Beggarman (leading), Charles XII.
Pocahontas, Lanercost, and Hetman Platoff. A splendid race
home ended in favour of Beggarman by half a length. Laner-
cost, who made his rush at the stand, second, Hetman Platoff
a capital third, and Pocahontas and Charles XII. close up with
them. The cheering was immense on the result being made
known by the Duke of Orleans's number.

INTERESTING TO LADIES.—The preservation
the complexion from the burning pernicious influence of the
solar beam, was for ages a desideratum in science. Half a cen-
tury back ladies sufered most severely from the effects pro-
duced by excessive heat. The rapid progress of science has
happily brought to light a discovery of the highest importance
to the female fashionable world. We allude to Rowland's
celebrated Kalydor, the auxiliary friend, guardian, and pro-
tector of female beauty. In promenading and aquatic parties,
our lovely countrywomen are shielded by Rowland's Kalydor
from injury ; and their complexions remain as seductively
charming and blooming as the most florid writer could por-
tray, and for which they are renowned throughout the world.
Up to twelve o'clock on Tuesday the peace of
Paris was not disturbed. The whole of the garrison was under
arms, and the funeral procession of the heroes of July was being
conducted in an orderly manner.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

(From a Distinguished Correspondent.)
Without one object of ambition to be gratified by
the fall of the present Administration—with old poli-
tical habits and personal interests militating against the
course to be adopted--your improvisated Correspondent
and his friends had deeply considered the step they
were about to take. With indescribable anxiety your
informant had calculated the effect on the public mind,
now agitated beyond expression, and far from thinking,
like the Treasury journals, that there would be no
consequent disagreement with France, deeply was felt
the apprehension of a war. The very possibility of
such a conflict—destroying peace and commerce, and
involving every nation in Europe—a war which, aided
by all the recently-invented means by which destruction
is multiplied a hundredfoli—a war in which the French
would have no other course to follow but to raise the
standard of democracy amongst the subject States of
all the overgrown Powers of Europe—such a conflict,
it must be repeated, would be a catastrophe that might
not have its equal again in human annals. It was to
prevent this result that your informant thought it a
duty to forestall by a few days an inevitable discovery.
The truth was presented—as is wont by men versed in
political avocations--through the medium of a journal
which would not for an instant sacrifice its consist-
ency to favour the writer; and thus impartially it was
demanded of the English public to decide whether, by
a unanimous expression of reprobation, they would not
prevent the possibility of an awful catastrophe. The
effect of that reprobation would be to make Lord
Palmerston relinquish at once affairs so totally above
the scope of his intellect.
What scruple can even his already doubtful colleague's
entertain against adopting such a course—they who have
already victimised so many other more gifted men, of
whom Lords Grey, Althorp, Stanley, Ripon, Howick,
Monteagle, are but a small portion ? But it will be
said, what has the Foreign Secretary done, beyond his
ordinary incapacity and presumption ? The answer is
ready. He has not only adopted measures the most
antipathical to the genius and character of the British na-
tion, but he has besides been grossly wanting in the or-
dinary forms observed betwixt civilized nations, and has
insulted a friendly Power in its very honour. As gentle-
men fight mortal duels on all gross breaches of courtesy,
whilst material interests are left to more pacific decision,
so will the French nation be more inclined to stake
its very existence on " the blow in the face" it has just
received, than on account of any other wrong. As the
Treasury Journals are constantly eluding the truth,
which they dare not flatly gainsay, as regars the insult,
the following are the facts :—The last open protocol,
of the 27th of Julb• 1839, signed by the contracting
Powers, was to the effect that they were all five agreed
conjointly and amicably to settle the affairs of Egypt and
Turkey. The views of France as regards these coun,
tries continued, up to a few days since, the objects o

constant negotiation of that Power with England, and
were never interrupted but by the astounding notifica-
tion that a compact had been signed by Lord Pal-
merston with the three other Powers, excluding
' Prance ! If to this is added that this protocol had
been long in contemplation, and that the insurrec•
Lion of Syria had been excited by England—ready
for the occasion—can one hesitate to repeat that two
acts of Machiavellism have been committed the most
opposed to the spirit of the nation ? Lord Palmerston
should be told that the English character, as well in the
mass of the nation as in its individual members, is an
honest straightforwardness springing from the noble
consciousness of superior power devoid of fear—a
bearing which attends even the larger and more perfect
beings of the animal kingdom, although devoid of the
moral strength of man. Independent of the overwhelming
success the Syrians might achieve, is it possible that
Lord Palmerston's folly should bring upon us the
consequences it threatens ; for if M. Thiers should

endeavour to second the descamisadoes and republicans
of Spain, Louis Philippe will discard him, and an inter-
regnum of the French Ministry occur where active
measures will be impossible ; but surely the nation will
visit on its author the peril of the present hour.
There are other no less serious accusations which, for
the sake of perspicuity, and still more not to embarrass
the policy of the country, are here passed over. But
let the Foreign Secretary be assured that he who has
written this represents a host, and that he is not like a
wanton child who, having set a powerful machine in
motion, blubbers in dismay at its gigantic movements,
and lacks power to direct them towards its legitimate
objects.—Morning Post.

CASE of the POLISH REFUGEES.

Immediately after the termination of the Polish revolu-

tion in 1831, refugees from that country began to arrive
here. They were supported by means of such resources
as they had been able to bring with them, or by the contri-
butions of the charitable, till 1834, when for the first time
the House of Commons voted a sum for their relief. Their
number was 488, and the amount voted was 10,0001. They
were divided into three classes, viz., field officers, officers,
and privates. To the first class was allotted 15s. per
week, to the second 10s. per week, to the third ss. 3d. per
week ; to the wives half the:allowance of their husbands,
and to the children half that of their mothers. This
grant was renewed the following year, 1835, and it ap-
pearing then that the original list had been reduced by
111 (in consequence of deaths, removals, and voluntary
resignations) but that 89 others had arrived, the latter
were allowed to be placed on the list, which then pre-
sented a total number of 466. The grant was again
voted in 1836 ; but this time, although 30 had gone
off the list, the Treasury refused to allow their places
to be supplied by others, and it was only with great diffi-
culty that the rule was relaxed in favour of persons cx.
pelled from Cracow, who were considered as victims of a
fresh violation of treaties. These brought the number to
477. In 1837, 10,0001. was again voted, the number of
refugees being 462. In 1838 the same sum was voted.
There were then 455 on the list, and 191 not participat-
ing in it. ; but so strong was the feeling manifested on all
sides of the House in favour of such augmentation of the
grant as should permit the admission of the latter, that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer consented to the general
wish. The total number then relieved by Government
amounted to 646. In 1839, 15,0001. was voted. Its May,
1840, a grant of 13,0001. only was moved and passed with-
out observation, the list having since 1838 been reduced
to 488. When the first grant was made in 1834, it was
declared to be for that year only. It has, however,:since
been repeated every year. When first renewed in 1835, it
was expressly announced that only such Poles as were in
England at the time of the original grant should participate
in it. This rule appeared indispensable in order to guard
against the unlimited increase of the numbers of the re-
fugees ; but when, notwithstanding such precautions, the
continued persecution to which the Poles were subjected
occasioned others to take refuge here, the same motives
that had prompted the grant in the first instance
led to the relaxation of the rule, and those who had
recently arrived (eighty-nine in number) wero admitted
in the room of 111 who had gone. From similar conside-
rations, 46 others were admitted in 1836 and in 1830,
when it was again declared that no more would under
any circumstances be admitted. Since 1838, the above
rule has been rigidly• adhered to, and no new ad-
mission has taken place. In the interval, however, a few
have arrived, and their number now amounts to 34. Of
these the majority have fled here from the tyranny of des-
potic Governments, having escaped from compulsory ser-
vice-in the Russian army or navy, or from state prisons, or
only avoided such inflictions by flight; the rest have come
after struggling with all the ills of exile in France, Bel-
gium, or Switzerland, in the vain hope of finding means in
this island, which they have heard called the free and
the happy, of leading a less miserable life. They were,
perhaps, unwise to come ; but having done so the want of
passports bars their return. There are besides these 34,
two who were in the country when the list was extended,
and who were excluded only because they omitted to put
in their claims. There is also a class whose case is
scarcely, if at all, lass deserving of consideration; it con-
sists of about ten persons, who having renounced all future
claims on the grant in consideration of a year's allowance
paid in one sum for the purpose of leaving the country,
have been prevented by circumstances over which they
had no controls from putting their intentions into execu-
tion, and are now here in a state of destitution.
With a view to encourage refugees to leave the country,
Government has from the first adopted the plan of offering
to all of them upon their departure a year's allowance, on
condition of their renouncing all claim for the future. The
total number of persons who have taken advantage of this
offer amounts to 377 ; if from this we deduct 63, who were
re-admitted before 1838, and 16 who, having commuted
since that year are still here, we shall have 258 as
the number of refugees who have

residence rather in other countries than in this. This fact
ought surely in a great degree to remove the apprehen-
sion that any relaxation of the rules, and any admission
of fresh refugees, is likely to occasion an influx of such per-
sons from other countries. We see, on one hand, that of
those that come a large proportion is anxious to remove,
and we do not, on the other hand,
exist-
ence of the grant has had the effect of attracting great
numbers to this country. The subjoined table shows

admitting the Pole who arrived in 1836, and excluding
him who came in 1840, is the necessity of adopting some
line ; but if it be shown that in particular cases the line
may be overstepped without incurring the danger for
which alone it is drawn, that of occasioning an unlimited in-
flux of refugees, then the motives of humanity and sym-
pathy which originally led to, and have since caused,
the renewal of the grant, ought to prevail with those who
arc •charged with its administration, and induce them to
give it the requisite extension. It is not now sought
tor' increase the grant-13,0001. has already been voted
this year for the Polish refugees—the numbers arc
new the same as they were in 1534, when 10,0001. was
sufficient. There must, therefore, be a surplus at the end
of the year, and a much larger surplus than would provide
for the persons in question, for whom little more than

1,0001. weeld suffice. All that is asked is that, cut of the
surplus, the same allowances should be granted to the fifty-
two as are enjoyed by their less unfortunate countrymen.
If this act of humanity cau be performed, as it has been
shown that it can, without the violation of any principle,
without the risk of any bad consequence, and without any
expense beyond what Parliament has already sat.ctioncd,
surely no obstinate adherence to rules once made ought to
be suffered to prevent it, Attachment, even a bigoted at-
tachment to economy, may, in a Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, be meritorious, for it is the first duty of that func-
tionary to watch with jealous care over the public money.
But other Statesmen and independent Members of Parlia-
ment who, while they admit all the importance of eco-
nomy, feel that due weight should also be allowed to other
considerations, ought surely to employ their influence to
prevent the bounty of the House being administered with
a parsimony which those who voted it never contemplated,
and which is in contradiction to the feeling which dictated
the grant.
