Chesterfield Cup.—Mus made the running, followed Connaway dropped into the third place. Maynard main-

headed the lot, and won•by half a length. The Corsair hall Gardens.
and Perseus were well up with Garry Owen. This is
the third year in succession that Lord Eglinton has won
this cup.
First Class of the March Stakes.—Sherbet took the
lead, followed by Capote, with the Busk filly in waiting.
Half way between the turn and the distance Amulet
made a push for the front, but failed, and at the distance
fell behind in company with Sherbet. Capote went on
with the running, the Busk filly attending him till close
to the post, where he made a rush and won by half a
length ; Sherbet was an indifferent third, and the others
beaten off.
Second Class.—The favourite had it all his own way,
and won by three lengths.
THE ORLEANS CUP.
This race was one of the slowest ever run, and, as far
as Hyllus was concerned, was run under very suspicious
circumstances. Aspatria went off in front followed by
Mus, Hyllus third, and 3tustapha last. At the turn out
Mus passed the filly, but with so little improvement in
the speed, that on reaching the Craven starting p )st
nearly four winutes had elapsed. It continued in Cie
same way round the clump, but mended slightly: in
rising the hill for the last turn, the positions remaining
as before. Aspatria was beaten at the distance,
,and
Buckle (to whom no blame whatever attaches), who was
on Hyllus, became second • immediately after he endea-
voured to obtain the lead, but had no chance against
Mus, whose superior speed enabled him to maintain his
position to the end, and won cleverly by a length. The
time taken to run the distance was six minutes and thirty-
two seconds, being about a minute and a half more
than the Cup was run in on Thursday. It is no-
torious that Hyllus is slow, and that, without
having any pretensions to speed, the orders to the jockey
should have been to force the running, not to wait, yet
Buckle was instructed, and of course obeyed. We
will not adopt the terms in which the transaction was re-
probated, but simply observe that it excited a very strong
feeling of indignation, and that one of the members of
the Jockey Club, recently one of its stewards, declared
that should any horse from the same stable be named for
a handicap submitted to him, he should assuredly put
thirteen stone on him. We should add that Pocahontas
was in the same stable as Hyllus, and on her being stripped
for saddling fur the Cup on Thursday, her owner was so
strongly impressed with the belief that she had not un-
dergone the necessary preparation, that he immediately
laid 1001. to half-a-crown against her in the presence of
her trainer, and after the race, removed her to Brown's
stable. He has since sold her to Mr. Theobald for 5001
Challenge for the March 5 sovs. forfeits, &c.

FREE TRADE-LIMITED DUTIES

OF GOVERNMENT.
So much is at present said, and so little under-
stood, on the above subjects that we have thought
the following passages from the " Wealth of
Nations," would now not be unacceptable. Adam
Smith says :
Whatever, besides, tends to diminish in any country
the number of artificers and manufacturers, tends to di-
minish the home market, the most important of all mar-
kets for the rude produce of the land, and thereby sill
further to discouragd agriculture.
Those systems, therefore, to all other employments,
in order to promote it, impose restraints upon manufac-
tures and foreign trade, act contrary to the very end
which they propose, and indirectly discourage that very
species of industry which they mean to promote. They
are so far, perhaps, more consistent than even the
mercantile system. That system, by encouraging manu-
factures and foreign trade more than agriculture, turns
a certain portion of the capital of the society from sup-
porting a more advantageous to support a less "advan-
tageous species of industry. But still it really, and in
the end, encourages that species of industry which it
means to promote. Those agricultural systems, on the
contrary, really, and in the end, discourage their own
favourite species of industry.
It is thus that every system which endeavours either
by extraordinary encouragements, to draw towards a par-
ticular specks of industry a greater share of the ca-
pital of the society than what would naturally go to it,
or by extraordinary restraints to force from a particular
species of industry some share of the capital which
would otherwise be employed in it, is, in reality, sub-
versive of the great purpose which it means to promote.
It retards, instead of accellerating, the progress of the
society towards real wealth and greatness ; and dimi-
nishes, instead of increasin, the real value of the annual
produce of its land and labour.
All systems, either of preference or of restraint, there-
fore, being thus completely taken away, the obvious and
simple system.of natural liberty establishes itself of its
Own accord. Every man, as long as he does not violate
the laws of justice, is left perfectly free to pursue his
own interest his own way, and to bring both his in-
dustry and capital into competition with those of any
other man or order of men. The Sovereign is completely
discharged from a duty, in attempting to perform which he
oust always be exposed to innumerable delusions, and for
the performance of which no human wisdom or knowledge
could ever be sufficient, the duty of superintending the
industry of private people, and of directing it towards
the employment most suitable to the interests of the so-
ciety. ACCORDING TO THE SYSTEM OF NATURAL LIBERTY,
THE SOVEREIGN HAS ONLY THREE DUTIES TO ATTEND
TO ; THREE DUTIES OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, INDEED,
BUT PLAIN AND INTELLIGIBLE TO COMMON UNDER-
STANDING—FIRST, THE DUTY OF PROTECTING THE
SOCIETY FROM THE INVASION OF OTHER ;INDE-
PENDENT SOCIETIES ; SECONDLY, THE DUTY OF
PROTECTING, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, FROM THE
INJUSTICE OR OPPRESSION OF EVERY OTHER MEM-
BER OF IT, OR THE DUTY OF ESTABLISHING AN EXACT
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE; AND, THIRDLY, THE DUTY
OF ERECTING AND MAINTAINING CERTAIN PUBLIC
WORKS AND CERTAIN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, which it
can never be for the interest of any individual, or small
number of individuals, to erect and maintain ; because
the profit could never repay the expense to any indivi-
dual, or small number of individuals, though it may fre-
qUently do much more than repay it to a great society.
[Such is the language of Dr. Smith, admitted
to be the most sagacious political philosopher of
his time, or perhaps of any time. His wisdom,
however, is completely thrown away, for the
whole race of political quacks, whether Whigs
or Tories, continually violate Dr. Smith's pre-
cepts. They, the most short-sighted of mortals,
modestly think their wisdom and knowledge suf-
ficient for what Dr. Smith says no human wis-
dom can accomplish. While they are utterly
incompetent very often to regulate their own
affairs, and must have conservators, trustees,
guardians, or assignees, they decide that they
know best what is the most useful and profitable
employment for every individual of the great
family of mankind, and proceed to regulate it
according to their fancy. We make our remark
as general as possible, because such is the har-
monious and closely dove-tailed nature of society
that it is impossible for the labour of ' a single
class, or perhaps a single individual, to be mis-
directed by legislation in England, without af-
fecting some corresponding or co-operating class
or individual in the United States, Hindostan, or
China. Our cotton cloth displacing the cotton
of India, our woollens entering cheaper or dearer
into the markets of China, and our cutlery sup-
plied to, or withheld from, the United States by
our fiscal laws, affect labour in all those coun-
tries. " All are part of one stupendous whole."—

GRAND ROWING MATCH AT VAUXHALL
The great contest amongst the most celebrated scu
lers on the river Thames, for a silver cup given by the
proprietors of Vauxhall Gardens, took place on Friday,
and drew together an immense assemblage of spectators.
A contest of this description could not fail of being at-
tractive, and was witnessed with no small degree of ad-
miration by the aquatic sportsmen, who have not been
indulged with a similar first-rate exhibition since the
summer of 1839, when those of the most note as scul-
lers rowed ut Putney. Since that period many then
leading favourites have declined in their style and power,
and, though within the short space of two years, others
have sprung up and entered the list. The great desire
among aquatic gentlemen has been to see some of the re-
cent aspirants contend with those who had then or some
years since been first-rate rowers. The arrangement of
this wager was left to Charles Campbell, the champion.
He selected most unquestionably the eight best men in
town, we ought to say (excepting himself) eight of the
best men in the world. There were only three wanting
to have comprised the whole of those who in the present
day have acquired notoriety, Coombes, Newel, and
Doubledee ; the first of these is at Chester, the two lat-
ter rowed at Havre de Grace on Thursday, in the Sons
of the Thames crew.
This wager had been arranged in three heats, with
eight pairs of sculls ; and at three o'clock the following
took their stations at Vauxhall-bridge, to row from there
down, round a boat moored off Roberts's, the boat-
builders, at Stangate, up the Surrey shore, round a boat
moored off Nine Elms, and back to Vauxhall-bridge :
John Connoway, Battle-bridge stairs Green
Thos. Goodrum Vauxhall-bridge Red
James Maynard, Lambeth Pink
Charles Hill, Hungerford White
The first of these men is well known as a powerful
fellow, who has come out within these last two years,
and was defeated a month since by Doubledee, in one of
the greatest struggles ever known on the Thames. Good-
rum is a fine young man of much less weight, and has
won three or four hard wagers in the same short space
of time. Maynard has also distinguished himself as a
scientific sculler ; and Charles Hill, a tall powerful man
of some years' standing as a first-rater, won the great
match at Putney at the close of 1838. Betting was in
favour of Hill ; Connaway was next in the choice. •
The start was beautifully taken by Connaway, who in
a few strokes took the lead, and kept it throughout. In
rounding the lower boat Goodrum and Maynard were
close together, and Hill made adash, cut them off, and went
into the second place, closely pressed all up the Surrey
shore by both. It was a great contest, Hill working hard
in 'the middle, and Goodrum and Maynard on either
quarter for nearly half a mile. Hill was evidently ham-
pered by the close and tight work the pair gave him,
and he had lost a stopper in rounding the boat. On their
arrival facing Lambeth Palace, Goodrum made a grand
effort to pass Hill inside. Hill drew slightly in to avoid
the heavy tide that was running down, and Maynard
dashed by him outside, and took the second place.
Connaway won the heat. Maynard was second ; Hill
third. The second heat consisted of
John Phelps, Putney
George Campbell, Lambeth Purple
John Kelly, Putney Blue
Everard, Old Barge-house Yellow
A few words respecting the merits of these men will
suffice. Phelps has been a first-rate man for years, and
is well known as the opponent in the two great matches
of Robert Coombes. George Campbell, the brother of
the champion, is a neat, active, little fellow, and is always
in good training. Kelly is a man whose day is almost.
gone by ; and Everard was perhaps less known sts a
sculler than any of the rest. Phelps was the favourite
on the list.
The lead was taken by Phelps, who was out rowed by
young Campbell, and Everard close on the quarter of the
'anti., which place he retained only for a few strokes.
On the return, facing Lambeth, Phelps and Kelly rowed
by both the leading men, and held it the remainder of
the distance. Thelps was first, Kelly second, Campbell
third.
The third heat was started at six o'clock. The pace at
going off was grand, and the four men were so even that
they had rowed nearly to Lambeth church before
any lead could be distinguished amongst them. Con-
naway and Phelps then drew in advance, but were
closely pressed by Maynard and Kelly. On the
return, against tide, up the Surrey shore, the work
was admirable, and as they passed through Vaux-
hall-bridge the fate of the day was decided. Comma-
way cleared the second arch about a length a-head, and
a trifle nearer the shore than Phelps, who was next to
him. The latter at this moment touched Connaway on

the Mexican States. Our Minister, Mr. Pakenham,
pressed the demands of British subjects on the Mexican
Government, and it was understood would leave the
country, if his remonstrances were not attended to. Mr.
Crawford, the English Consul at Tampico, came home
in the Ranger, and the merchants of Tampico had pre-
sented him with a service of plate, value 800 guineas, for
his firm and spirited conduct on several occasions, and
which was also marked with the approbation .of the
British Government, by his advancement to the rank of
Consul. The Ranger met her Majesty's brig Victor at
Belize, Comus at Vera Cruz, and Racehorse at Tampico.
