THE DERBY, OAKS, and ST. LEGER,
1847.
For: the information and guidance of speculators on the
three great betting events of the approaching season, we
have compiled an alphabetical list of the horses engaged in
them, in which we have shown, as far as inquiries enable us,
what are in training, out of training, or dead. The few un-
accounted for may be assumed to be out of training; an
asterisk is prefixed to horses bred in Ireland, a dagger to
those out of training.

THE BISHOP OF OXFORD ON
THE MORAL CONDITION OF THE AUSTRA-
LIAN COLONIES.
(From the Sydney Morning Herald).
In our paper of the Ist instant, we copied the Morn-
ing Chronicle report of the discussion which took place
in the House of Lords on the 3d of March last, on the
subject of Van Diemen's Land, and the intended new
penal settlement in New Holland.
Our object in now reverting to that discussion is, to_
repudiate certain observations contained in the speech
reported to have fallen from the Lord Bishop of Oxford,
touching the moral condition of those colonies which
are or have been made use of as penal settlements.
Alluding to the manner in which the transportation
system had been conducted by the British Government
not, as we Rather, with reference to Van Diemen's Land
particularly, but to penal settlements generally, New
South Wales of course included—the Right Rev. Prelate
is reported to
_have expressed himself in these appalling
terms :
" Knowing, as we know, or ought to have known, that
evil was a fermenting principle—knowing that to asso-
ciate persons of vicions habits increases instead of di-
minishes evil, we consigned convicts to a more distant
part of the earth, after a long voyage, in the course of
which the evil principle of one man might be communi-
cated to all the rest; and then we set them down to be
the founders of a new people, giving them no means of
moral restoration—no principle of religious healing. We
had reaped as we had sown. It was indeed impossible
to hear or read of the state of things -in the quarter of
the world to which he referred, without shame or sorrow
They found that there, connected with the Englisn
name, had sprung up, commonly the most deep and
horrible pollution; that vices which Chrisitanity had
almost banished from the earth were more extending;
that the tone of society was altogether lowered, and
that those who were recovered in a great measure from
the particular sins of their progenitors, exhibited in
other respects no great moral improvement. They
found that chastity was still unknown among the women,
and that purity was a stranger to the men."
These are certainly frightful imputations ; and
whether intended to apply to our unfortunate sister
colony exclusively, or to New South Wales and original
dependencies generally, they are not more frightful than
untrue. Nay, they are not simply untrue—they are so
extravagantly, so preposterously
.untrue, that had they
not proceeded from the lips of one whom we are bound
to acquit of intentional misrepresentation, no words
would have been too strong to express our indignation at
the monstrous slander. The picture of our society here
held up to the horrified gaze of the House of Lords, of
the British nation, and of the world at large, is one of
unmitigated deformity and pollution. " Chastity un-
known among the women—purity a stranger to the
men !" Where could the Bishop of Oxford have picked
up these shocking falsehoods ? And what could have
misled him to regard them as truths ? The only way
in which we can at all account for his Lordship's wrong
impressions—how dreadfully wrong to the virtuous
colonists this :
His late father, the immortal Wilberfore, took a
very lively interest in the moral affairs of New South
Wales from its very commencement, having been the
means of extorting from the Home Government, but
with the utmost difficulty, the first appointment of a
Chaplain to watch over its moral and spiritual interests.
The late Rev. Samuel Marsden, the second chaplain,
was also, we believe, sent out at the instance of
the same illustrious philanthropist. And for many
years alter the foundation of their settlement, Mr. Wil-
berforce continued to urge upon the King's Ministers,
from time to time, the crying necessity for still further
supplies of clergymen, and for the appointment of
schoolmasters. His son, the present Bishop of Oxford,
may, therefore, be supposed to have been accustomed
from earliest life to hear of the culpable remissness of
the Government in regard to the religious concerns of
this then penal country, and its demoralising results.
The impressions of boyhood may have grown up with
him ; and having been strengthened by the one-sided
representations of the Transportation Committee of the
House of Commons, so recently as eight years ago, and
by the still more recent calumnies of the New Zealand
speculators, to the propagation of which, unhappily, the
Archdeacon of Dublin lent the high influence of his sta-
tion and character,—Dr. Wilberforce may have come to
look upon it as a settled and indisputable fact, that
wherever the streams of transportation have flowed, they
have left behind them the slime of moral pollution, in
which " things rank and gross in nature" have taken
obstinate root, spreading around in all directions, and
filling the land with their fruit of abomination. And
with this false conclusion fixed and riveted in his mind,
the Right Reverend Prelate must have gone down to the
House of Lords for the purpose of bearing his testimony
against the system which had wrought such fearful mis
chiefs.
Fortunately we can oppose to the errors of one Pre-
late the truthful representations of another. Some of
our readers may remember, that in the session of 1840,
during the debate upon the Immigration Report, the
Lord Bishop of Australia took the opportunity of re-
butting these aspersions which had then been recently
cast upon the moral character of our community by Dr.
Whateley, the Archbishop of Dublin. In the speech de"
livered on that occasion (23d October, 1840), the Bishop
°
of Australia, referring to what had been advanced at a
recent public meeting in Dublin, by the Rev. Dr. Dick-
inson, chaplain to the Archbishop, is reported to have
spoken as follows :
" lie knew no single instance (either in this colony
or in Van Dieman's Land), of any man or woman either,
indulging in open vice, who received the notice of any
whose notice was of any worth. He knew that persons
of blemished character found themselves as much
shunned, and as uncomfortably situated here as in any
other country in the world, in fact, as completely ex-
cluded as they would be from the most scrupulous of the
societies to which they had been accustomed in their
native country. Nor was this feeling confined merely to
the higher classes, but had much prevalence and influ-
ence to a very :wide extent even in other orders of
society."
This testimony is full, ample, complete, and coming
from one whose opportunities of estimating the moral
character of these colonies have been such as no one re-
sident in England or Ireland can pretend to—from one
whose credibility as a witness admits of no question,
and whose civil and ecclesiastical station entitles his
opinions to the most respected consideration—we leave
it to work out its own way as a triumphant refutation
of the calumnies we have been complaining of ; only
requesting, that such of our British contemporaries as
are accustomed to pay some attention to colonial affairs,
will do New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land the
justice to give publicity in England to our present article,

SHOOTING MOORS LIABLE TO

POOR-RATES.
The Parochial Board of Kingussie and Insh held an
adjourned meeting on the 15th December last, for the
purpose of imposing a new assessment for the support of
the poor, for the year 1847. The meeting was interest-
ing on two grounds. Ist, By an unanimous resolution
to alter the mode of assessment, and to classify agri-
cultural and other tenants alike. In 1846, the occupants
of houses in the villages of Kingussie, Newtonmore, and
Insh were triply assessed. The poor mechanics and
labourers felt this as a great hardship. 2d, It was re-
solved that the respective heritors of lands should be
required to produce rent-rolls of their estates, including
the rent of the shootings. The Board came to this
decision on the principle argued in the House of Lords,
and sustained by. their Lordships, in the case of Mac-
pherson v. Craigie, on the 13th August last—viz., that
the profits produced by the sale of shootings formed part
of the rental of an estate, liable to the usual burdens
imposed upon rent. Lords Brougham, Cottenham, and
Campbell were unanimous in their opinion, and gave
their decision without starting a single doubtful point.
Hitherto the system of allowing the profits of shootings
to pass untaxed for the support of the poor has been
general, but there is now a clear decisive example to
encourage parocial boards to assess for the poor both
the landlord and his southron friends, who for a brief
season sojourn among our wilds in pursuit of game, and
thus to a certain extent relieve the industrious hard-
wrought rate-payer. It is argued that, in the preamble
of the new Act, where " lands and heritages ' are de-
fined, while " fishings, fresh-waters," &c., are made
assessable for the purposes of this Act, no mention is
made of game shootings, and that therefore they are
excluded. Though no lawyer of common sense, legally
confirmed by the decision above referred to, teaches
that " grouse and ptarmigan, hare and conies," &c., are
as much the live produce of the land, as are the sheep
pasturing on our hills, and enabling the shepherd, with
their fleecy coats and plump carcases, to clear off scores
with his landlord.—lnverness Courier.

STAE OF .
A retrosp T
ect of the lace tradTRADE
e for the past year pre-
sents some reason for confidence in the prospect for the
future. It has been brought into almost direct competi-
tion with French articles, and this has certainly not been
without its use, though severe, owing to the predilection
felt for foreign grounds and styles. The Nottingham
trade has never made, during any previous year, so
great an advance in the application of the trne principles
of taste to their designs, as within the last twelve months.
This has been followed by a satisfactory increase in the
demand for the best class of faucy articles. It is true
that the lever fancy goods have been depressed in price
far below their value ; but this has arisen from too large
quantities of the same patterns being forced upon the
market ; and can only be remedied by the application of
mechanical improvements, affording the means of rapid
and inexpensive changes of pattern. If to these be added,
excellence in design, this department of the business will
resume a profitable activity. There has been lessened
consumption of patent plat laces, cheaper improved
Mechlins having taken their place. In plain goods ex-
cellence of materials and workmanship is more sought
for than formerly. Notwithstanding some changes in
the channels of demand and supply, which during the
early months of the year considerably unsettled local
trade matters, the total amount of business done has
been an average one ; the machinery has been as regn-
larly employed as usual, and wages have been maintained.
The stocks remaining on hand are not heavy. The
most difficult feature we have to note at. present is the
advance in yarns, and of course, in prime cost. This
has been scarcely at all realised as yet on wrought
goods. The past week has been without change in
prices, hut with small demand ; all parties seem waiting
for the breaking up of the frost, to bring orders from
the Continent, and give impulse to the country trade.—
Nottinyltam Review.

THE SLY ONE CAUGHT AT LAST.—Mr. Butt, of
he Berrow Farm, Martley, had a rather curious incident
on Thursday morning last, on his premises, in the cap-
ture of a fine dog fox. Much more frequently than was
pleasant, his poultry had disappeared, to the annoyance
of his household. The query was—how, and in what
manner, they went, the prevailing opinion being that the
rats were the nightly poachers; and to rid the premises
of these supposed troublesome marauders traps were set
about the hen roost. On the above morning, Just about
the time the family were rising, an unusual sound pro-
ceeded from the quarter in which the poultry were
lodged, and a capture was the instant impression. All
hurried to the spot, when, to their astonishment and
amusement, not a rat, but an animal of a larger growth
(as much like a fox as may be) was securely fastened by
the leg in a trap, but using his best efforts, trap and all,
to beat a retreat from a spot where his reception was
more pinching than palatable. Finding, however, that
he could not so nimbly clear himself from the ground,
already too hot for him, with oneleg in the stocks (viz.,
the rat trap at his heels), he nobly ceased the struggle
and yielded with becoming pluck up to his pursuers.
Then came the consultation in what manner should his
devastating influence be checked. The venerable owner
of the massacred poultry is too good a sportsman to mur-
der a gallant fox in cold blood, and accordingly the sug-
gestion was acted upon of transporting the nightly thief
to the more extended domain of the noble owner of Wit-
ley-court. There bold reynard is now comfortably and
doubtless not a little proud that his
procured him so good a master at
last,-..Worcester
