DOUBTFUL STARTERS.

The Sporting Life selects Kingcraft as the winner, and
Palmerston as second horse for the race, while it thinks
that Captivator may succeed in getting third place for
Mr. Merry's colours. The Field also supports Kingcraft.
This paper adds although Doncaster ground is pro-
verbially fatal to favourites, we apprehend no outsider
this anniversary will be found capable of disposing of the
Derby winner.
The Sportsman thinks the first three horses will come in
at the post as follows —Kingcraft, 1 ; Captivator, 2 ;
Palmerston, 3. A prophet in the paper says on
Tuesday, there is a splendid entry for the Fitz•
william Stakes Anton, Ptarmigan, Rosicrucian,
Gamos, Digby Grand, Cyclone, Tabernacle, and
the French Flyer, Sornette, amongst the number.
This is such an entry as I never saw for the Fitzwilliam
Stakes before, and it will alonebe worth going all the way
to Doncaster to see. Amongst such a splendid lot it is
difficult to say which is best, but if I take Anton and
Sornette I do not think I shall be far out.

There will be a competitive examination early in
the month of November of gentlemen desirous of entering
the Royal Navy as medical officers.

The South London Press says that out of 800
lodgers qualified to register in Lambeth less than 300 have
put in their claims this year. Out of 700 in Southwark
only about 200 have claimed.
The Government of India is said to have sanctioned
the employment of a solicitor in the Wahabee trials, on
an allowance of 150 rupees a day, exclusive of other
expenses, as recommended by the Government of Bengal.
Rear-Admiral Glisson, Captain Rogers, and the
officers of the United Status' screw frigate Franklin, now
at Portsmouth, will be entertained at dinner on Monday
by the members of the Royal Naval Club, Portsmouth,
at the club house, Green-row, Governor's-green.
The Civil 'Service Gazette states that from October
Ist the new post card will come into force—one halfpenny
postage, It is very a neat and nicely designed missive, with
an impressed Queen's head, and will no doubt contribute
greatly to public convenience,
The contributions at Leicester for the relief of
the sick and wovnded in the present war are flowing in at
the rate of four hundred pounds per week. The amount
already subscribed reaches close upon £l,OOO. The
manufacturers, in addition to money contributions, are
giving hosiery.
The statement is confirmed as all but ascertained
that the clergyman drowned the other day in the Thaines
when the Chichester's boat was run down by an Irish
steamer, was the Rev. Charles Hind, curate to the Rev.
F. A. Marsh, M.A., incumbent of Christ Church, Milton-
next-Gravesend.
Earl Granville has received a despatch from Lord
Lyons, forwarding a copy of a note from the Prince de la
Tour d'Auvergne, containing information respecting the
composition and regulations of the French prize courts
as well as of the formalities to be observed by neutrals
for the restriction of merchandize loaded by them under
the belligerent flag. The note is published in a supple-
ment to the London Gazette of Friday.

The special correspondent of the Telegraph, says it is
believed that the Prussian advance on Paris is stopped.
They are reported to be occupied in the reduction of Metz,
and in keeping open their line of communications, which
are threatened. Negotiations for peace have been opened
by Count Beust, supported by Russia. An unfavourable
view is taken of the attitude of England.

• --
The Vienna correspondent of the Standard telegraphs
that Prussia has menacingly protested against the forcible
occupation of Roman territory by Italy ; hence the delay
in Austria's recognition of the French Republic, which
only awaits that of the other Great Powers. Diplomatic
i
action in favour of peace is here deemed mpossibie
at
present.

The Saturday Review thinks- the vacillation of the
Emperor during the German war of 1866 was the prin-
cipal cause of his ruin. He had watched with pleasure
the growing antagonism between Austria and Prussia, in
the confident hope that either both Powers would weaken
themselves in an evenly balanced contest, or that, as he
had already extorted Savoy and Nice from Italy as the
price of his assistance in the liberation of the Peninsula, he
would have the opportunity of levying a fine on the victor
in the German struggle. He vainly offered the Prussian
Minister to bring 300,000 men to his aid in the war with
Austria, if only he might be allowed to rectify or extend
the eastern frontier of France. When his overtures were
rejected he endeavoured to persuade his countrymen that
the preponderance of Prussia was not inconsistent with
the division of Germany, and he caused his Minister
to assure the Legislative Body that the States south
of the Main were still entirely independent. The state-
ment of the plain truth that France had nothing to do
with the internal policy of Germany would have been
a departure from the systematic policy of the Empire.
A month of defeat has brought with it cop clign punish-
ment-on the Emperor,as well as on the nation which he
had studied and habituaily courted. It is just that char-
latans should be responsible for the consequences of the
follies on which they have played. Undeceived dupes re-
quire a victim, even though they have been themselves
half conscious accomplices of the fraud. When the
interests of his dynasty were not at stake, Napoleon 111.
was capable of understanding and of consulting public
welfare. The country enjoyed great prosperity during
his reign, not without the co-operation of the ruler
who was himself the Government. In cultivating
the alliance of England he continued the policy of Louis
Philippe, and the lapse of time enabled him to succeed
better than his predecessor in abating the ancient ani-
mosity of his countrymen. The gratitude which his par-
tisans claim from Englishmen on his behalf may be tem-
pered by the recollection that his Project of Treaty in.
eluded an offensive alliance with Germany against Bel-
gium and England. He preferred to rest his power
rather on the weaknesses of his countrymen than on his
own public services, and he is now expiating in cap-
tivity and in exile his faith in the omnipotence of false-
hood.

ENGLAND, too, in this terrible year, although at
peace with all the world, has her disasters. Since
