certainty for his next event, and then something
else, perhaps Macgregor, will win. It has been said,
and some slight signs of the kind have shewn themselves,
that racing is declining in public esteem. We hope
it is so. If this affair does not fill up the mea-
sure of disgust, nothing will. It is needless
to add that all the old machinery—the scratching
of horses upon which heavy amounts had been in-
vested, immediately before the race, and the absorp-
tion of public money upon impostors that never had
a chance in the competition—has been ac-
tively at work ; whilst the Legislature, so far
from interfering, has expressly adjourned in order the
more easily to witness the instructive performance.
The Derby of 1870 will bring riches to many
a professional, but ruin to many more deluded
victims. We reneat that the onus of these scandals
rests not upon one, or any number of racing men, but
upon the high authority which negligently allows
such things to be. With the details of racing, Parlia-
ment has nothing to do ; but the gambling that
accompanies racing, and the fraud that accompanies
the gambling, are distinctly the offspring of legislative
indifference; and the repression of such vice is an
imperative duty. The Derby of 1870 is remarkable
as a striking instance of the manner in which the
present system of betting turns in favour of those
persons who make a trade of it.

ANTICIPATIONS FOR THE OAKS.

Since the scratching of Sunshine for the Derby the
betting in favour of the filly's chances has considerably
increased, and seeing that two splendid cracks, Hester and
Sunshine will probably have a thorough struggle for a win,
interest in the race has become intense. The field will
probably be made up not much larger than follows :
SIRE. DAM. RIDER.
Hester Thormanby Tomyris.. .... J. Grirnshaw
Sunshine Thormanby Sunbeam Snowden
Pat S.. . Macaroni.. Songstress Marsh
*Sister to Tomato King Tom Mincemeat Maidment
Dark C10ud...... Cavendish Maid of the Mist
Those marked * are doubtful runners.

Bell's Life says it seems to be considered that the race
will be confined to the three alone that stand first in the
above list. Hester (it says) we recently saw win the One
Thousand C4llineas Stakes in very hollow style, and on
that occasion the filly displayed a fine turn of speed, and
outstayed her field in a style that betokened her ability to
get a distance. Since that time there is e very reason to
believe that she has done well, and her party are most
sanguine of success. Sunshine is now head and
head with Hester in the quotations. Pats seems
bound to get a place now that Mahonla is amiss. Had
the last-named kept well we should certainly have
coupled her with Hester, but she is unfortunately cough-
ing, and it is, perhaps, doubtful whether Baron Rothschild
will have a representative at all. Pate is a very smart
and clever filly, and although it was the fashion up to a
certain time t, say that speed, and speed only was her
forte, it has been manifested that she is not without
staying powers. In our opinion she is, however, scarcely
up to the class of the other two, far as she may be ex-
pected to beat all the remainder that run, although Dark
Cloud is fancied in the north. The struggle between
Hester and Sunshine may be a sharp one, but knowing
Hester to be in form, and remembering that Sunshine has
not been raced since the Middle Park Plate, the New-
market filly must have the preference.
The prophet of the Sportsman says :—" I must confess
that the bold front presented by my old favourite, Sun-
shine, makes me very uneasy about the fate of my Satur-
day's selection, Hester, for I find that so far from being
only half trained, as was currently reported, Mr. Merry's
filly is in brilliant condition."

WHITE'S MOO-MAIN LEVER' TRUSS
kPcrfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions of
1851 and 1821, is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred •Medical
men to be the most effective invention in the curative treatment
of HERNIA. The use of a steel spring, so often hurtful in its
effects, is here avoided—a soft bandage being worn round the
body, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by the Moc-
Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and close
ness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep.

Metropolitan Railway Extension.

The throwing-out of the Metropolitan District
Railway Scheme, known as the Mansion House
Extension, by the House of Lords Committee, has
been received with general satisfaction. A. railway
station near the Mansion House would in itself have
been a great convenience, but to have purchased
that convenience by obstructing the new
thoroughfare with the hideous display of a
new middle row of blank walls was too great
an act of vandalism to be tolerated. The effect of
this decision will be that the Metropolitan District
Railway will either stop short at the present Black-
friars Station, or be continued to Queen-street. To stop
short at Blackfriars would be suicidal, inasmuch
as the Metropolitan competes with the Metropolitan
District for traffic to the western suburbs, and it
the former line is extended to Liverpool-street or
Broad-street, to Aldgate-street and to Tower-hill,
it will tap the city at so many points as to leave
only a small share of the through traffic to
go to Blackfriars-bridge, and thence westward by
the embankment line. The Metropolitan District
will therefore be compelled to go to Queen-street,
and will probably form a junction there with the
South-Eastern. Once at Queen-street, there will be
but a short gap to Tower-hill, (to which point the
Metropolitan will be extended) to complete the inner
circle. As the two intermediate stations will be
at King William-street and Mark-lane, the pro-
spect of a large traffic which such points offer will
probably speedily lead to the completion of the whole
line as originally laid out by the Parliamentary Com-
mittee.

BARBAROUS TREATMENT OF JEWS.

Another attack upon the Jews in Roumania is reported
by the Paris papers. According to a telegram communi-
cated by the Universal Israelite Alliance, the " Christian"
population at Botuschany, on the night of the 29th ult.,
violently attacked the Jews, committing a terrible mas-
sacre. On the following day the attack was renewed, and
a great part of the Jews fled from the city. The tele-
gram describes the fury of the populace as horrible, and
implores help.

MORE TROUBLE BETWEEN TURKEY AND
PERSIA.

A cloud is again gathering, the Levant Herald of the
24th ult. says, on the south-eastern frontier. Part of a
Turcoman tribe, of doubtful nationality, recently made a
raid over the border in the neighbourhood of Bagsai and
after plundering some Turkish villages crossed back into
Perisa with their spoil. To prevent a repetition of
these adventures, Mithad Pasha, Governor-General of
Bagdad, has sent troops to occupy Bagsai, Malakhtair,
and Garbel—all three within the belt of No-Man's Land,
which at this points separates Turkey from Persia. The
Shah's Government considers this a violation of its terri-
tory, and a breach of the engagement entered into between
the parties to maintain the status quo till the definitive
delimitation of the border has been settled. Accordingly,
on Tuesday last Hadji Hussein Khan, the Persian Am-
bassador, presented a note to the Grand Vizier, formally
protesting against the action of Mithad Pasha, and de-
manding the withdrawal of the troops from the three
points named. To this A'ali Pasha replied that he would
at once Telegraph to Mithad Pasha for information, and
on receipt of this will answer the Persian note. The
Levant Herald discredits the notion that Russian intrigue
is at the bottom of this affair, though Russian influence is
paramount at Teheran, and it would not be exerted on
the side of peace if a rupture were threatened. Later
news says it is probable that the dispute will be referred
to arbitration.

The Characters of Hawkers.

The new provision which Mr. Lowe has consented
to make with reference to the granting of hawkers'
licenses will be generally esteemed to be a change
in the right direction. When ➢ir. Lowe first men-
tioned the matter in the Budget Lord Kin-
naird, it may be remembered, strongly
protested against the relief of foot hawkers from
the annual tax of two pounds a piece. To many
who know the value of the Cheap Jack and the
pedlar, in country districts Lord Kinnaird's disap-
proval was looked upon as somewhat cruel and un-
justifiable. At the same time there were many others
who felt there could be no reason for denying to the
honest tradesman a reasonable protection against the
entrance into the trade of a set of fellows without
character or principle, who could not bear the test
of trustworthiness imposed in the forty-shilling
licence. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
has now designed a happy compromise,
and removes all possible complaint of hardship
by the proposal to grant, on a nominal payment, a
certificate which will guarantee the respectability of
the ♦endors. Under this new arrangement the honest
hawker will have even a better security than before
for his respectability, since the payment of the licence
fee will be no longer the primary object sought, but
the worthiness of the payer.

TRADES' UNION TERRORISM.

A singular case, arising out of the Thorncliffe dispute,
as heard at the Sheffield Town-hall, on Tuesday. A
oilier named Benjamin Cooper was summoned by New-
ton, Chambers, and Co. for breach of an agreement to
work by the colliery rules, and to give 28 days' notice
before leaving their service. Defendant stated he was
a union man, but dare not go to his work, his life being
threatened by the men on strike, His house was sur-
rounded on Sunday night by a lot of men, who threatened
to injure him and his house if he went to work. A lengthy
cross-examination ensued, the man repeating he " dare
not " work on account of the threats uttered by the
unionists. The bench ultimately declined to punish the
man for the breach of agreement, it being evident that his
safety was threatened so strongly as to justify him in
taking the course he had done

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

The Royal Prerogative.

The Attorney-General is reported to have said,
in reply to a question as to the vacancy created by
the death of Lord Justice Selwyn, that no prerogative
was required to enable the Sovereign to abstain from
exercising her prerogative, thus implying that the
Sovereign is the arbitrary Judge of the occasions on
which she may or may not exercise her prerogative.
The Daily News says if the Attorney-General gave
utterance to the words imputed to him, he
has broached a doctrine which is at
once irrational and unconstitutional. On this
chewing it is within the right
_of the Crown to re-
frain indefinitely from filling up the most im-
portant and vital offices in Church and
State. Our contemporary says 'it cannot believe
that it was the Attorney-General's intention to put
forth a doctrine so monstrous as that embodied in
his words. It thinks that much discontent will be
repressed if the Court of Appeal in Chancery be at
once made complete by appointing a Lord Justice.

'REEMASONRY.—The installation of the Earl of Car-
narvon as the Deputy Grand Master took place onWednesday

of the Earl de Grey and Ripon, the Grand Master, being in
attendance on her Majesty at Balmoral, the throne was
occupied by the Earl of Zetland, who was supported by a
large body of masons from all parts of the kingdom. The
Grand Lodge having been opened in due form, the newly
appointed Grand Master was installed, received the
customary honours, ikud presided for the remainder of the
evening.

THE PRINCE OF WALES IN IRELAND.

The Standard trusts that the residence of the Heir to
the Throne in Ireland could not fail to be productive of
the very best effects on Irish society, however limited the
time of its duration. It would assuage the jealousy which
her Majesty's preference for Scotland has kindled in the
Irish mind, and no doubt tend, from the conciliatory
manners of the Prince, and his love of field sports,
to which the Irish aristocracy are so strongly addicted,
to initiate and strengthen a mutual respect and attach-
ment between the Queen's Irish subjects and their future
ruler, which must be attended with the most desirable
results. it has been long a cause of complaint that
the presence of royalty in Ireland . has been so
rare, and, that th 2 shortness of the visits paid
by the Sovereign to that portion of her dominions pre-
cluded the possibility of such manifestations of loyalty as
would evince the true feelings of the people towards their
Queen. That grievance would be altogether removed
by the presence of the Prince of Wales, dispensing
his hospitalities as an Irish proprietor. Tollymore Park
possesses all the requisites for a royal residence.
It is said that the recent tour of Lord and Lady Spencer in
the North of Ireland, had for its special object the acqui-
sition of this property for the Prince, and if it has re-
sulted in its transfer to royal hands the Irish public will
have good reason to rejoice on the occasion. It is for
many reasons most desirable that the heir apparent
should at this particular time cultivate the acquaintance of
his future subjects. Ireland is in a state of transition, and
the social influence of the Prince would go far to soften
any asperities which may arise from pending legislation
in the minds of the Irish landowners, and help to recon-
cile them to a change in their position, now become in-
evitable, while his example as an improving and liberal
proprietor could not fail to stimulate both the landlords
and the tenantry to the proper fulfilment of their respec-
tive duties.
London, England, 1870-06-02

PROTESTANT NATIONALISM.

The new sect of Irish Protestant Nationalists have
begun to attact attention. They began their movement,
says a correspondent, by contemplating only a Royal resi-
dence, the taxing of absentees, and special measures to
extend Irish trade and commerce ; but a Federal
Parliament is now the favourite specific. They
have appointed a committee of their number,
who recommend that the objects of the organi-
sation shall be to obtain the " privilege of managing
our own affairs," the Irish Parliament to have power,
under a federal arrangement, to legislate for and regulate
all matters relating to the internal affairs of the country,
and control over Irish resources and revenues, subject to
the obligation of contributing a fair proportion to Imperial
expenditure, the Imperial Parliament retaining the power
of dealing with all questions affecting the Impeiial
Crown and Government and. the defence and stability of
the Empire. The apostles of this movement refer in par-
ticular for their justiffcation to the statute passed in 1807,
which consolidated into one Dominion the North Ameri-
can provinces of the British Crown. The present object
of the committee is understood to be to ascertain personally
the views of influential Irishmen on the subject of Repeal
Meanwhile, the Dublin journals continue to refer to the
matter. Saunders's News Letter, for example, says :
" Many Protestants, clerical and lay, consider them-
selves free to act in the forthcoming agitation—for that
it wiil come, we cannot deny. But, without in any way
pledging ourselves to the Federal movement as
proposed, we would warn those who have joined, or are
inclined to join it, of two great difficulties they will have
to encounter at the very outset, and which, although
opposite in character, may injure their cause—the one by
secret opposition, the other by open alliance—we mean
Ultramontanism and Fenianism."

The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne is recovering from

The chief points of the new Press Law will be some

eventually.

The plan of reducing the salary of the Senators is not
likely to be put into effect.

GUSTAVE FL OURENS.

Have the plebeians got to the top and the aristocrats to
the bottom in the French Empire ? We all know about
Count Henri de Rochefort de Lucay, descendant of a
crusader, &c., but it is quite a new sensation to find that
Flourens, the magnanimous and the valiant, is the eldest
son of a peer of France—one who was moreover a
scholar and a philosopher. Gustave appears to have had
a constitutional taste for revolution. At four-and-
twenty he went to assist the Poles in 1862; at five-and-
twenty he lectured at the College of France, and was the
idol of the budding atheists of that institution ; a year later
he was stirring up the fierce democracy of Belgium still
later he was campaigning in Crete ; after that he turns up
in Italy, which he soon made too hot for him, and return-
ing to Paris two years ago, he began that brilliant career
which culminated in the great episode of the sword, the
pistol, and the flight. What remains in store for him is
uncertain. So far he has shewn no lack of prudence, and
he does not seem likely to suffer the penalties which
Rochefort has incurred. As for the story of the cor-
respondent of a contemporary being led into a plot by IL
Flourens, no one believes a word of it. It is not at all
certain that M. Flourens himself committed any greater
offence than one of political indiscretion, while the corre-
spondent acted in the spirit of sincere friendship.—New
York Times.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The April report from the agricultural department re•
lative to the appearance and condition of winter wheat
and rye pictures a small and slow growth, thinned in
places by winter-killing, weak and unthrifty in spots
from loss of vitality by long exposure under ice or to
freezing winds ; but with these exceptions, vigorous, of
good colour, and ready to start under the influence of
a genial spring, into luxuriant and healthful growth.
The appearance of wheat is not as promising as it was
last year at this time, but this is due rather
to late planting than to any positive injury
which the fields have sustained. In New England the
little winter grain which was sown is doing well, though
the frost has visited with unfortunate results some of
the northern counties of Maine and New Hampshire.
In more than one-half of the counties of New York
the reports are favourable, and the same is the case with
New Jersey. In Pennsylvania the growth is more back-
ward, and in many sections of the State the wheat was
winter killed. The returns from Delaware and Maryland
are meagre, and report some damage to grain from ice and
cold. From the Southern States the reports promise a
crop of wheat on the whole above the average. West
Virginia presents the worst account of damage from the
winter frosts. In Kentucky the harvest promises to be
much larger than usual. Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois re-
port the growth as below the average in a majority of
counties. The fact is explained by late planting and
backward germination, and it is thought that a warm
spring may improve the appearance of the winter cereals.
The other Western States seem to expect about an ave-
rage crop, though some of them, as Kansas, send the most
cheering returns. The report taken as a whole is to be
regarded as favourable.—Boston Advertiser.

MORE TROUBLE BETWEEN TURKEY AN

PERSIA.
A cloud is again gathering, the Levant Herald of the
24th ult. says, on the south-eastern frontier. Part of a
Turcoman tribe, of doubtful nationality, recently made a
raid over the border in the neighbourhood of Bagsai and
after plundering some Turkish villages crossed back into
Perisa with their spoil. To prevent a repetition -of
these adventures, Mithad Pasha, Governor-General of
Bagdad, has sent troops to occupy Bagsai, Malakhtair,
and. Garbel—all three within the belt of No-Man's Land,
which at this points separates Turkey from Persia. The
Shah's Government considers this a violation of its terri-
tory, and a breach of the engagement entered into between
the parties to maintain the status quo till the definitive
delimitation of the border has been settled. Accordingly,
on Tuesday last Hadji Hussein Khan, the Persian Am-
bassador, presented a note to the Grand Vizier, formally
protesting against the action of Mithad Pasha, and de-
manding the withdrawal of the troops from the three
points named. To this A'ali Pasha replied that he would
at once Telegraph to Mithad Pasha for information, and
on receipt of this will answer the Persian note. The
Levant Herald discredits the notion that Russian intrigue
is at the bottom of this affair, though Russian influence is
paramount at Teheran, and it would not be exerted on
the side of peace if a rupture were threatened. Later
news says it is probable that the dispute will be referred
to arbitration.

Human Cattle at Sea.

An engineer who has gone out to Lima, in Peru,
with the object of making for himself a home and a
competent living abroad, has on the voyage disco-
vered the heartless and negligent conduct of ships'
officers towards the human cattle who are so lavishly
promised comfortable passages prior to their departure
from England. The complaint of the gentleman, which
appears in the Times, only refers to his luggage,
which he, however, asserts contained every article
that could have enabled him to start in life, and without
which he would never have thought of entering Peru. '
There are, however, more grievances than the loss of
one's baggage to tantalise people on shipboard,
especially in long voyages ; and as the passengers
never have it in their power to scuttle the ship, or
put anyone in irons, it would be highly
advantageous if a committee such as
that recently nominated to inquire into the
comfort of cows and sheep en voyage were chosen
to investigate the case of human beings also. Plenty
of witnesses who have been across Channel,
as well as transatlantic voyageurs, would be certainto
come forward and testify to their misfortunes.
The engineer who went to Peru, sailed from
Southampton as a cabin ticket holder, in the Royal
mail steamship Atrato. When the vessel was in the
Southampton Roads, he stood on deck in a pelting
shower of rain to see a huge chest of his,
within which were all his engineering in-
struments, his outfit and his books, kicked
and buffeted from the tender to the Atrato, Never
afterwards did he see it. On arrival at Kingston,
Jamaica, he left the steamer to await the next
vessel, and the officials on board there told him that
the chest was too deep in the hold to remove ; but
they promised to leave it secure at Colon, on
the Isthmus. When the traveller reached Colon,
he found that his property had not been left for him,
and though letters after letters have been addressed
to the agents of the company on the subject, he has
never yet received even a satisfactory reply, let alone
information of his lost luggage,
The Stepney Murder.

Amongst the many and ever increasing horrors
which are now served up to us, the murder at Stepney
is most noticeable. The deliberate shooting
of a stepmother by. a lad of eighteen, of tolerably
good character, is an unusual event, and a
melancholy illustration of the evils frequently atten-
dant upon a second marriage in cases where a grown-
up family remain from the first. The experiment is
always very dangerous; and in many cases, as in this,
it proves very disastrous. Young Redhead was
a volunteer, and shot his relative with one of the
cartridges served out to him at drill. It'
is not usual to allow cartridges to be removed from
the ground, but Redhead must have concealed this
one. Seldom, indeed, has a similar case happened.
The misuse by volunteers of the weapons put into
their hands is an extremely rare occurrence—so rare
as to fully justify the confidence with which some
200,000 deadly arms have been distributed in
various parts of the country.

DIFFICULTIES IN JERSEY.

The promoters of the railway between St. Helier's and
St.. Aubin, in the island of Jersey (an English company)
have been brought into unpleasant contact with the States
(the island Parliament). It appears that under certain
conditions and restrictions the States had ceded to the
company the ground occupied by the slaughter-house at St.
Helier (at the head of the harbour) as a site for the railway
station. The contractor for the railway proceeded to de-
molish the slaughter-houses, and had made certain pro-
gress, when he was ordered to desist at the instance of
the chairman of the harbours committee, who claimed
control over the slaughter-houses. The work was stopped,
and a promise given that nothing more should be
done till a proper understanding was come to. Acting,
under advice, however, the contractor resolved to con-
tinue the work of destruction, and on Saturday
morning, at the early hour of four o'clock, a triple gang
of labourers was taken to the spot and proceeded in all
haste to finish the work of pulling down the remaining
portion of the building. Jurot de Quetteville,
who happened to be in the neighbourhood about
six o'clock, on being informed of the occur-
rence, hastened to the spot and raised the well-
known " Clameur de Haro," which consists of the person
raising it falling upon his knees, and crying out, " Haro,
Haro, h l'aide, mon prince ! on me fait tort." The
astonished workmen immediately threw down their imple-
ments and desisted, agreeably to the law, which makes it
a punishable offence for anyone to proceed with a work
against which the " clameur ' has been raise]. A special
meeting of the States was held on Monday for the consi-
deration of the subject, when, after a stormy discussion,
it was resolved to prevent all further proceedings by
armed force, if necessary, until a proper arrangement has
been agreed to between the States and the railway com-
pany for the construction of new slaughter-houses.
