SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

same hour as on Tuesday, and continued until near six) :lock,
with the same rigid observance of time ; this excellent gualiti
was estimated to its full extent, fur, after the conclusion of tlu
three heats for the plate, the rain set in and made strong run-
ning to the close of the evening, effectually clearing the course
of the fair weather portion of the company, and making a dis-
astrous finish to what proved to be an excellent day's sport. Ts
give a list of the company wovld only be to repeat the names
mentioned in our report of the first day ; we need only state
that the attendance was highly respectable as to rank, but not

able to the speculators. The race began with

SPIRIT of The PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE MOR':ING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—We do not think that any of the positions
o ord John Russell were shaken by Lord Sander), Mr.
IJorq, or Dr. Lushington the principel speakers of the even-
.ma the sde of monopoly. Dr. Lushington's speech was a
reaunilar.aoo of all his iermee positions with respect to slave
labour and free labour. What has become of the boasted ad-
van ages of free labour, if the negroes of our colonies are un-
able to compete with ti,e slat es or• Cuba and Br zil ? It was
shown by Lord John Russell that ample protection was afforded
xi our colonies, so they nay have the supply of our market if
they choose eeleleut Dr. Lushington will not he sati-lied with
the prosper7W the West Indians, he will not be satis-
fied with the Kapp iniss of the negro, who is in a far more en-
viable condition than the working man in England; he insists
on piaci:se the werieng classes of Ent land enti,e y so the power
.of the negrees. If they cheese to affor tus a sufficient supply
of sugar, well ant: good; if, not, the unfortunate people of Lug-.
1 toll may starve. iNas, he even professed, tat the yart of Chat'
pe,-Iflo, that they woild rather Le reduced to live on chopped
gra-s iham consent to taste any of the sugar raised by staves.
phis :ert of talk comes with admiratle go ace from a gentleman
• in ►eceiet «f severA thousands a year of the public money,
when api lied to poor creatures to whom sugar has become a
necessary :if lift'.
TIM ES'...--The critical centlict of par; ies upon the questions
involved in the Ministerial BnOget commenced, but, as our
readers will perceive, did t.ot terminate, yesterday evening. It
:might have Leen supposed that, in case of this nature,
where. as every body !wows, the point really at issue is a dif-
ft-rent thing froth the question under debate, the country rnght
have been spared the infl.ction of a tedious succession of speed!: es.
What is the use of talking about financal propositions riceori-
.ou-ly brought forward to serve a political and riot a financial pur-
iposs ? What rational object can be attained by prefacing with a
see iesof disser:atione on the principles of free trade and politi-
cal economy a. division, which cannot ltunish any test of the
degree in which those principles are accepted in Parliament?
Oe the other hand, we see no great advantage in expatiating
fur a week together upon the hoirors of slavery, in an assembly
-which-lies ready metto put an end to a political crisis by avotc of
confidence or no-eoniidestee in a poor-oepresAng eltnistry.
We do not, of course, mean, either that Lord John Rus-
sel!, when he utters sententious meNiins about the impolicy
of .t.eedle:s or excessive commercial restrictions, is playing the
hypocrite, or that Lord Sandon is not per:ectly nut:ere
when he deprecates the :Ministerial proposal, as to the
sugar duties, on the score of its tendency to encourage negro
!slavery. But we feel that these topics are merely collateral to
flue 1 oint at issue, and that they are, en both sides, chiefly re •
sorted to foe the rake of ivine to a party struggle the imposing
app,aranee of a conflict of popular principles. 'Pllre arguments de-
rived from them weigh,no doubt,with both parties, but they are nut
she reasons by which their line of comluct has been practically
determined. Ft ce trade i 3 thrust forward by the Whigsto cover
the retreat of the New Poor-law, and to break the onset of its
vietre ions assailants. . Unc'er ti.e shadow of a banner dear to
many of her opponents, and by the help of a popular watch-
word, despotism hopes to gain time to rally her broken forces
and to daunt her adversaries with the fear that in striking her
clown they may endsnger something else which they would Ida

-preserve.
DERALD.—Since the commencement of the present
Session, the business of no single evening ha; present-
ed a much more varied picture of antagonist principhs, than
that of last night. M. e desire to direct the careful at:ention of
the publie to these early indications of inevitable results which
must flow from the 'tii.eptacing, unsteady, and capricious
policy of our " adhesive," Government—a Government
nee e, oily settled rule of action is to stick to office
instead of principles. It might be supposed that after
an eight years' possession of :office, without scarcely a
break in the tenure, the Queen's Ministers would have ac-
quired a sufficient knowledge of the exigencies of the revenue,
an I of the wishes of the.peeple, in regard to the remission of
any particular duties 4egietoma or excise, to have long since
made up their own iflll7lrTas to what should be the series cf
measures to be adopted with the view of meetin' ' 1 )se exi-
tem
gencies, and. responding to those wishes. n tead of
tAi!, however, it. was only on the 30th ult. that, through
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, they made those
announcements of extreme and sweeping innovations
on the scheme of existing duties on colonial produce
and timber, and even on foreign corn, which have astounded
not a few aveng even their own friends, and have awakened
in .various Meet-lets of the country feelings of the utmost in-•
elevation. It might be supposed, too, that their measures
would big based, at least, upon principles of sach general ex-
reeieney,
.. that in the Obstract, they should be incontro-
Yereible, or even acceptable to all the parties to whom
they were to be propounded. Yet su far has this been from
the actual and practical reeult of their budget ma-
nifesto, that individuals, and Corporations, and communities,
whose interests—in the very nature of things—should seem to
lie identical in such matters, have, we find, in both Houses
resented petitions against and for the proposed alterations in
the restricted duties on foreign sugars. Not but that the ete'at
preponderance iu number, importance, and authority, is on
the side of the petitions against the alterations. Not but that
a rieht and generous feeling is shown to have been awakened,
of a'area and apprehension for the fate of the grand experiment
*we .ds the alelition of slavery.
POST.-ire debate upon Lord Sanden's resolution, the
feorof which must, of necessity, decide that of the Adminietra-
tiou. commenced esterday. 1‘;co division took place; the pub-
lit, impatience for the result will, theref
ore, nut be gratified
until Monday night.. 'the proceedings of last night leave no
doubt, however, as to the nature of that result. Ministers will
be beaten_not probable so much as they deserve—but
thoroughly beaten nevertheless. Two gerelernen, who have
bitecrto coestattly supplied the Administration, de-
clared in the most vie;oriitts and manly terms that they
eau support it no longer. One of these represents, upon the
present occasion, every Member who has been sent to the
