TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,—Thu Ban's victory at Epsom in the race for the
Metrapolitan Handicap had a most electrical I- fleet upon
the nerves (,f the public; the horse sent to the scene of
action at thelast moment was actually lett out of the
list of starters on the cards of the day, and
consequently, except while running, and in a
few other rare instances, not backed for
a single farthing; several of the book-makers cleared
handsome stakes varying from 2,0001. to 10,0001., but in
not one single instance have I heard of any of the public,
with the exception of Sir J. Hawley, who only sported
a cool hundred on it, dropping in for a " good thing." I,
having understood that he would not be sent, did not
take his chance into consideration, but gave the race to
Cr,us and Sunrise, who ran home a bad third and
font th. My selection for the Two years old Stakes, Flirt
and the Old Lad, were first and second; they beat a
large field, but all behind them belong to the trashy
class. The great City crack, Princa Rupert, that was to
have carried all before him, verified my prophetic words
in Note No. 26, where I remarked, that it was " with
him as with The Greek at Northampton, HIS DAY has not
arrived. I was on the wrong scent altogether for the
City and Suburban Handicap; old Etthiron, with
Bst 51b on his back, winning very cleverly from Eva,
same age, 6st 91b, and Pitsford, 4 yrs, Bst 51b—there was
not half a length between the trio. The
,performance of;
the last named must be borne in mind; it was first rate
he gave his year to Elthiron, and his year and 191bs to
Eva, allowing for her sex. The day's sport altogether
was excellent, and indicative of what we may expect
throughout the year.
Ou Friday last I put forth my view of the New-
market running for the present week, and up to the
present time find I have but few alterations to make
in the same. To-day's races will have a slight
effect upon future events, as, bar an accident, in
my opinion, it is a certainty for Midas for the
R. M. Stakes, which if it proves so, he will
put in a stronger appearance in the Derby market, and
may find supporters for the Two Thousand Guineas; and,
moreover, should Iris win the D. M. Stakes, beating
Coticula, it will make her a great pet for the Ono Thou-
sand Guineas and Oaks. The running and jumping ca-
pers of the high-spirited Hesse Homburg at Epsom sent
her up some fifty per cent, in my estimation for the New-
market Handicap; which fact, with the price at which
she was being backed on the Downs, was published in
the Express Edition of The Sun on Friday evening. In
note No. 28, of that day, I selected Antigone as the re-
presentative of the Goodwood stable; she is, however,
now superseded by Hesse Homburg, who, in my opinion,
will supersede all others in the race; the result, I fancy,
will be something after this style:—
HESSE HOMBURG

BUSHRANGER or WINDISCHGRATZ 3

the Increase or Decrease on each head there'd.

• Exclusive o:

,f Advances,

Bushranger and Windischgratz have been supported
heavily during the last few days, and their prices this
morning are quoted at 6 and 4to I. It is said Pitsford
will go; if he does, he will run up. Hernandez will win
the Riddlesworth, and find backers for the Derby at 33
to 1, or else will be beaten by Naptha, and sent to the
right about. The field for the Column Stakes, it is pre-
sumed, will consist of Lady Sale filly, Payment, Ariosto,
Merry Peal, Black Sea, or Palmyra filly, Trinket and
Hatherton; the result as follows :
ARIOSTO (Nat) 1
PAY MEN T (Bartholomew) 2
MERRY PEAL (Marson) 3
The field for the Port Stakes is likely to be larger thau
I anticipated last week, viz:—Clincher, the Knight of
Avenel, Bee Hunter, Officious, and King of Oude.
The latest betting up to twelve o'clock this day:—
Riddlesworth-2 to 1 on Hernandez. Newmarket Hau-
dicap-2 to 1 agst Hasse Homburg, 9 to 2 agst Win-
dischgrats, 6 to 1 agst Bushranger, 8 to 1 agst Cham-
pion. Column Stakes—Even on Ariosto. Port Stakes
—Even on The Bee Hunter, 3 to 1 agst the Knight of
Avenel, sto 1 agst Clincher. 2,000 Guineas—New-
minster in force at 3to 1. Derby and Chester Cup—
no change.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(avitax MONDAY AND WEDNSSDA.Y.)
Sir,—On Wednesday the 2nd came the question of
the second reading of the County Franchise Bill. No-
body doubts that the extension of the county franchise is
a good thing, as it is a good thing for a man to open his
doors and •go away to his work by six o'clock in the
morning. But if the man have got a hint that an enemy
is waiting to enter and take possession, he will be a wise
man if he defers the opening till nine.
This is precisely the present case. There are clear
indications that the County Franchise Bill is pushed
forward, not with a view to promote the obtaining its
object, but to serve some project of the actors, involving
the weightiest loss and damage to the ultimate pros-
pects of progress in the direction professed, even to the
extent of driving out the Government which has engaged
to move in the direction desired, and bringing in one bit-
terly opposed to it.
For my own abare in this business, I fall back upon
professional' prejudices; and if you bject to them, you
ought to have considered it before you elected me. I
won't give up my post. I was sent to Parliament to sup-
port Free Trade and the Extension of the Suffrage. And
though it has been grief and bitterness of heart to me to
see how the first of these causes in particular was aban-
doned to the enemy,—to see how the golden opportunities
for exploding the blunders and fallacies of the Protec-
tionists during three sessions of Parliament have been
thrown away, and now the question is to be brought to
the test of a General Election while one side has been
casting away its advantages, and the other has been
fighting up its cause from day to day with all the vigour
which great talents, great interests, and great influence
can command;—though I have been doomed to see this
without being able to help it, because when ono set of
advocates have been sent to the House of Commons as
the declared supporters of a cause, the House will not
tolerate the interference of an interloper in the shape
of a borough representative who makes his appear-
ance in the following Parliament;—though to all
this I may be obliged to submit with such patience
as I may, I will not be cajoled into giving up
my post and entering into a plan for bringing in
a Protectionist Government, by any representations of
the good that is to arise to anybody from fighting the
Corn-law question over again, or the excellent men who
are to be brought into notoriety and power as the final
result of thus throwing the thing away when we have
got it.
I am not inclined to mince the subject. If ever
there was a political party that deserved to be beaten,
it is what calls itself the Free-Traders. They have
wooed and courted defeat and the restoration of their
enemies, by acts both of omission and commission. The
latter part begins to explain the former. Without
charging them with anything beyond human infirmity,
they have allowed themselves to be bewildered by the
phantom of some power which they could never wield, and
which no substantial portion of the community would
trust them with for a fortnight; and fur the sake of this
phantom, like the unhappy dog in the fable, they have
hen content to-give up the meat that was in their
mouths, and try the chances of restoring your bitterest
enemies to power. And all the time they have been thus
engaged, their opponents have been sowing the seeds of
strength, by quietly rallying all whom a sense of indivi-
dual interest could collect to their banner, planting their
dogmas in Parliament with the reputation of being un-
confuted and unanswered, and displaying all the qua-
lities of foresight, perseverance, and discretion, which are
equally at the command of a bad cause and a good. I
say again, if the merits of the combatants on the two
sides were to settle it, you would all have to turn into
the poor-house, that Lord Stanley and his regiment
might take the bread out of your mouths.
I confess to having been once under the delusion, that
the commercial community of England under its actual
organization was competent to find rulers for the State.
Tyre, Carthage, Venice, Genoa, Holland, floated before
my eyes, and made me believe in the possibility of such a
consummation. The single fact that they had not the
genius to maintain their post while they had it, has
plunged me into the lowest depths of that change of mind
which constitutes repentance and conversion.
I have been told I said a strong thing on one part of
the subject. I said I had as lief see London six weeks in
the occupation of a foreign enemy, as the Protectionists
six weeks in power;—that though the evil might be more
concentrated, it would not be greater in amount. I
used the obsolete but thoroughly English phrase,
on purpose to be able to swear to it; and I am
here to maintain the literal truth of the assertion. That
there would be great suffering, fearful loss of life, before
the one conclusion was arrived at, nobody can deny. But
what would be the suffering, what the loss of life if you
and all who stand in your position throughout this wide
country, were to be starved down to the measure of Pro-
tectionist permission to exist? Have I not seen the
Siege of Bolton? Do Y not know how the weak among
you must die in holes and corners, under lingering
courses of thin porridge in which Blade arsenic would
be a mercy ? And have I not the power to calculate
how far the total of the suffering thus spread like nau-
seous butter over the surface of the land, would ex-
ceed the lump, however disgusting, which could be
temporarily concentrated in the limited area in the other
case supposed? No; if we were. to have our choice
like David, let us fall into the hands of all and anybody
rather than of such men, as those who call themselves the
Free-Traders are at this moment eager to bring into
the Government. I am glad to see an evening paper
(Globe) repeating my figure of :speech, and a noble Duke
giving it vogue by referring to it at a political dinner.
He does not seem to have quoted from a verbally correct
report; and if he had, I should have disabled his infer-
ence, by asking what reason there was for concluding
me disposed to do the Lord's work slackly, in either of
the caeca which were presented as parallel.
Liberal after Liberal, men of undoubted attachment
to the cause they profess, rose to implore the mover not
to persist in his motion; and he ended by an indecisive
kind of declaration, -that he would not personally de-
mand a division. But the power that is behind, did it
for him, and not more than ono or two known Liberals
had the resolution' to resist the imposition by voting
against it. The morsel prepared for us is this. A party
blinded by some prospect of power or influence to accrue
to themselves, shape a motion for a purpose laudable
in itself, but under 'circumstances where it is visibly
intended to do mischief and bring in an enemy.
And then we are to be asked on our allegiance, to
swallow the pill. It is exactly the case formerly pre-
sented. An enemy stands at your door at six in the
morning and says, " Now as you value the reputation
of an industrious hard-working man, go to your work
and let me in." And this is what is to be presented to
us, as often as may suit. Though the presenter should
clothe himself as an angel of light, I will do again as I
did before, and vote against everything that is hostile
to the permanent interest of my constituents.
In the " Votes and Proceedings" of Thursday, is a
curious mistake in the notice of a Petition from Brad-
ford. It is found commemorated under the head of
" Slave Trade," as a Petition for " suppression of the
slay() trade in the United States of America ;" the fact
being, that it was a Petition lor interference in behalf of
British seamen taken out of their ships in ports of
America, and imprisoned during the stay of their vessels,
on account of their complexion. As mistakes
will happen in the beat-regulated families, this
may be set down as a clerical error; and you
will see the matter correctly reported in the ac-
count of Petitions in the morning papers, as notably
the Times and Post. On the whole, however, it might
not be amiss, if some who were riot engaged in the pre-
sent Petition would petition again, either in the same
terms or with such amplification as should make a re-
petition of the mistake impossible.
On Friday the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought
forward his altered Budget. His progress was a tri-
umph. The Free-Traders, with the exception of their
accredited leaders, gathered round him, and avowed the
contest to be, between raising the public supplies from
the rich and from the destruction of monopolies, and
raising them from a tax on bread. It was quite sur-
prising to see the number of Members who turned out
in support of the principle of an income-tax; I had no
ides the truth had made such way. The moment is
critical for the working classes, who are in the act of
rising in political power and importance. Either they
will know that it is their battle that is fighting, or they
will not. According to the knowledge they display on
this subject, and the course they take in consequence,
will depend whether they shall gain or not by the pre-
sent tide which is in their favor.

JEWISH DISABILITIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,— Ido not pen these few lines with any expecta-
tion of ever finding consistency in human legislation,
nor with any view of arguing the subject to which I am
about to refer; but I write merely to call your own at-
tention to what I have just read in your paper.
On the 3d instant, according to your Parliamentary
report, Sir Robert Inglis opposed the admission of Jews
into our Legislative Assembly because they were
kanuonwfilte
dtgoi
i 3 legislate
and because he considered it his duty to " maintain the
Christian interest intact in the Legisiature," thus ac-
the House of Commons the right place for
religious law-making. Oil turning, however, to another
column of the same paper I find the Hon. Baronet on the
very next evening opposing Sir B. Bull, and "protesting
against this House being made the arena of any religious
discussion, because it contained iu it men who were not
fitted for legislation on any subject connected with the
Church."
Now, Sir, not merely does gross inconsistency thus
attach to Sir R. Inglis, and all of like sentiments, but I
should like to know who it is has made the payment of
church-rates and other ecclesiastical dues obligatory on
IBC it our law-makers are thus " unfit to legislate on any
subject connected with the Church?"
You, Sir, can
treat these inconsistencies and fooleries and oppression
and Inpocricies with less indignation than myself, and
therefore I leave them with this short condemnation.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
