GENTLEMAN'S.
Sylvanus Urban appears this month in the charac-
ter of a reformer, and demands a thorough reform and
revision of the Prerogative-office at Doctors' Com-
mons, a demand in which we cordially concur. The
necessity of such reform will be best proved by per-
mitting Sylvanus to tell his own story in his own
words, premising that the occasion of his complaint
arose out of the impediments thrown in his way
whilst endeavouring to ascertain who was the Sir
Miles Hobart of the Parliament of 3i Charles 1,, who
locked the door of the House of Commons and put
the key in his pocket in order to prevent the de-
parture of the Speaker and the entrance of the Black

Rod. Mr. Urban, after mentioning a slight dis-
crepancy of dates, says—
" How to reconcile this discrepancy we cannot tell;
and iu the present state of the Prerogativceoffice, where
every inquiry is hedged round with impediments and
fees, it is quite impossible tto ascertain. There is no
office in the kingdom the regulations of which are to
utterly prohibitory of all literary inquiry as this. We
went thither to endeavour to clear up this difficulty, and
aaving paid the customary shilling fee, turned to the
volume of the calendar applicable to the period in ques-
tion. That volume contains references to all the ad-
ministrations granted between 1631 and 1633, both in-
clusive, arranged in the order in which they were
granted, not alphabetically, but merely by the initial
letter of the surname of the deceased, and without any-
thing to indicate the dates of the respective grants.
After some search we found a reference to one which
related to Miles Hobart,' not Sir Miles Hobart.' We
pointed out the circumstance to the attendant, and con-
cluding that this entry referred to the administration of
he 26th June, we requested to see it, supposing that
the calendar had omitted the customary designation of
knighthood. That turned out to be the fact, but the ad-
ministration alluded to was not the grant of the 26th
June, 1632, but one granted on the 11th June, 1633.
It was nut, therefore, the one which we wanted, and if
the catalogue had stated its date we should not have re-
ferred to it. In the margin of the minute of this grant
was a reference to another grant, which the attendant
turned to, but still that was not the one we wanted.
Again we searched the calendar, and found a reference
to another grant which was entered as relating to Sir
Miles Hobart:' that was turned to; it was the one we
wanted; the book was laid open before us, but we were
told that we could not consult it without the payment of
another fee of `one shilling.'
" ' Why so?'
"We were reminded that we had seen two grants
already, and were informed that an extra fee was pay-
able on the sight of every third. But those we have
seen already,' wo remarked, ' have been referred to in
mistake.' Undoubtedly,' was the answer; 'if you had
found what you want you would not desire to look fur-
ther; but such mistakes take up our time, and give us
trouble. If you were searching in the name of Smith,
our whole time might be occupied in turning from
grant to grant before we found the right one.'
" That would be the consequence of your calendars
cot being properly framed. The mistake, in this in-
stance is not ours but yours. If your calendar had stated '
the dates of the grants we have seen, we should not have
referred to them. Do you make inquirers pay for that
which is the consequence of your calendar being im-
perfect?'
" Our protest was in vain. In vain also did we point
out that the search was merely for a literary purpose.
It made no difference. Nothing is known in the Prero-
gative-office but" the strict rule of a shilling for every
third.' So we paid our second shilling, and inspected
the grant of 26th June, 1632. It clearly refers to Sir
Miles the Member for Great Marlow, and yet it stands
dated vicesimo sexto Junii, 1632,' three days before his
death.
" We inquired if there were any papers in the office
by which the accuracy of the date could be tested.
Several gentlemen (all of them very obliging) seemed to
think there were not; another gave reasons for thinking
that theme must be, but there would be a fee of half-a-
crown for a search for them.' This, with all the at-
tendant uncertainties, and possibly further contingent
fees if the papers were found, and all to enable us to
clear up what is apparently a mistake in their own books,
was a little too bad, and we walked away, musing how
long it will be before indignant common sense will be
aroused to visit this snug little den of old-fashioned
sinecure extortion with the rough besom of a whole-
sale reformation. This office now stands pre-eminent
amongst public offices as that one in which there is no
concern for literature, no appreciation of the historical
uses of the decuments of which the registrars are the
appointed keepers, no proper calendars, no feeling or
regard for the public character and credit of that church
with which they are connected, or for anything save the
one shilling for every third. "

Probably the reading of this prayer and the
solemnity which reigned throughout the tran-
sept, while the surrounding multitude were
joining with the Bishop in uttering the Lord's
Prayer, will form one of the sublimest incidents in
the history of the Exhibition. The majority of
those who were placed in the centre of the transept
were upon their knees, and it would be impossible
to conceive a more impressive scene than the im-
immediate centre of the building presented at
this moment. At the end of the prayer
the Hallelujah chorus was sung, and the Prince and
his fellow-Commissioners retired from their seats and
the triumph of their twelve months' labours, as they
entered, followed by the echoing shouts of the en-
tranced multitude. Many of the visitors remained to
take a lingering glance at the gems of the Exhibition,
and they had thus an opportunity of observing the
surprisingly rapid preparations which have been made
for removing and distributing the works which for
the last five months have so much excited the wonder
and admiration of the civilized world. Much disap-
pointment was felt at the absence of her Majesty ar.d
the Duke of Wellington, but her Majesty has tra-
velled much during the last few days, and
perhaps fatigue was the immediate cause of her
not being present. Nothing, however, could have been
more appropriate than the final scene of this astonish-
ing drama, and although there was none of the splen-
dour visible that characterised the opening, yet those
who this morning braved the rain must have been
amply rewarded by the proceedings of the interior for
the annoyance which they had suffered outside. It
was, indeed, a magnificent spectacle, the end of the
Great Exhibition.

Know yo the town where policemen end navvies,
Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime!
Where the noise cf the clocks, and the cries of the tabbies,
E'er rouse you to madness o'er roofs as they climb.
Know ye that Smithfield, abounding in kiue,
Where the dirt ever blossoms, and beams never shine.?
Know ye the land where their coffee is beans?
Their milk chalk and brains, and their tea is but greens,
Where they poiish their fipples and all other fruit,
And the voice of the muffin-man never is mute?

YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET, &e.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

BETTING UP TO SIX O'CLOCK.
CIMBRIDGEiHIRE.

Sin,—The Grand Duclw with young hiett up, in a
spin for the 5 sovs. Stakes opened the day's sport with a
most exciting race; the winner and Sardanapalus
bounced away at a strong bat, followed by the Exotic
filly. The Celeste filly in starting fell—the Duchess
maintained htr lead throughout, and won a splendid
race into Nat on Sardanapalus, by a neck, Butler, on
the Exotic filly, being only a long neck behind.
In the spurt for the Royal Stakes, Norman, on Midas,
jumped cif with a :.tiff lead at starting, Harpsichord
laying second, and Ariosto third; they travelled in this
order to the leseent from the bushes, where Ariosto
crept into the recond piece, and, chellengieg Midas a
dez.-3n etrides from the chair, won easy by a length.
The next etalte that stood for decision on the roll
of time was the grand one of the week—the Cesare-
witch— which. singular to say, has resulted in the victory
of an extreme outsider. The field, numbering 26, was got
well from the post, several of the fast light-weights laying
in front till near the distance; here it was u P with all
but Barcelona, Candlewick, Mrs. Taft, Darkie, Dulcet,
and Hippolytus; half way up it the race was no longer
in doubt, Mrs. Taft, a six-year old with a stone for every
year, stezred admirably by Steggles, cleared the field, i
and won rather easily by two lengths; Barcelona, who
had looked well for three parts of the race, beating
Candlewick four lengths for second place, the latter a
length a head of Hippolytus; Dulcet fifth, and Darkie
sixth. The race was run at a good pace, as the time,
4 min. 6 sec., will certify. It is a funny fact that not
one of the seven prophetic celebrities have hit the mark;
my particular fancy, Hippolytus, ran no nearer than
fourth, and not a bad performance against the winner's
either, when it is conoidered that he gave three years for
one pound difference in weight. I believe this is the first
time Mr. Bevill has ever had the luck to win a large
stake or handicap, and it is to be hoped, now that Mrs.
Taft has broken the charm; he may go on
_and conquer.
The winner was not mentioned in the ring at starting,
although 1,000 to 30 had been repeatedly offered in the
town, and in a fow instances taken. It is generally
believed that with regard to the bookmakers they are on
the right side of the post this time, and that the aris-
tocracy and public, the former especially, have dropped
the circulating article very stiffly. The Clearwell Stakes
shook the nerves of the ring into a most electric paced
gallop by the unexpected defeat of the crack Elcot, who
actually gave way at the cords and left the race to King-
ston and Harbinger, the former getting a little the best
of it as he approached the chair, and winning out of the
fire by a short neck from the Goodwood horse; Ambrose
was a bad third, and Elcot fourth; Cara Cara, Theodine,
St. Andrew, and Major Pitt's Ratan filly beaten off
early. This running of Kingston's, giving 61bs to Har-
binger, 81b to Elcot, and 61b to everything else. in the
race, must not be forgotten, as the animal evidently im-
proves with every appearance in public.
The Cambridgeshire Letting has not been materially
influenced, by the decision of the Cesarewitch; Curl and
Newminster still maintaining the lead as first favou-
rites at 10 to 1 each—the Ileriot, however, has advanced
to 12 to 1, Candlewick to 13 to 1, Prime Minister to 14

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
MONDAY NlGHT.—SpeCtlifttOrB from all parts and
every grade poured in this evening, and the room, from
nine o'clock until after midnight, was thronged. The
amount of business, however, was not by any means
commensurate with the numbers present, and the alte-
rations were confined to a few of the Cesarewitch
horses. Hippolytus and Darkie improved on the pre-
vious quotations, and Antigone, displacing her stable
companion, became a very prominent favourite; Sauter-
ta-Coupe also advanced several points, and 20 to 1 was
the extreme laying price against Candlewick, Westow,
and The Italian. Goldfinder receded to 12 to 1, and
Backbiter to 30 to I—neither of them backed. The
general prices left off as follows:

The fir.3t Illy did not by any means come up to the
" Second October" standard, and we cannot speak in
very glowing arms of the great one. The list was
and the principal event, if it did not
showweak much failing off in tee extent of the field, proved,
from the moderate caste of the hcrses engaged, the most
uninteresting ever decided. and, until this morning, ex-
cept, perhaps, to these who were fortunate enough to
get against the leading favourites from the commence-
ment, tee reverse of profitable to the round betters. It
is not surprising, therefore, that the assemblage on the
heath this afternoon, although very large, was less than
usual, both in number and grade, or that there was
little of the excitement we have so often witnessed on
Cesarewitch gatherings.
Time only permits us to add that the race came off in
favour of an animal that had been backed in the town
at 1,000 to 30, but was not mentioned in the ring on the

THE BLOOMER MOVEMENT.

Last night the hall of the Literary Institution,
John-street, Fitzroy-square, was crowded by an au-
dience eager to hear a lecture on the Bloomer dress
reform, advertised to be delivered -by Mrs. H.
Knight, assisted by her daughter, Miss Charlotte
Knight.

Precisely at half-past eight the two lady lecturers
appeared upon the rostrum, dressed in full Bloomer
costume.

Mrs. KNIGHT, who is an eloquent and distinct
speaker, commenced her address by demonstrating the
false position occupied by women at the present time,
and then passed on to prove that the reform which she
advocated in female dress would be conducive to the
real well-being of the wives, mothers, and daughters
of England. She denounced the " light and fash-
ionable slipper," the horrible compression of the
lungs produced by stays, and the long draggling
dress which in wet weather keeps its wearer
damp and chilly—as fruitful sources 'of consump-
tion. The anomalous position now occupied by
woman was in accordance with the will of her master,
—man ; ,but would it not be better, she. asked, to let
women have their own way a' little sometimes, espe-
cially in matters of dress, which concerned exclu-
sively her own health and comfort ?—(Hear, hear.)
But the question was one which concerned all, even
the Legislature, as there could be no healthy and
ncble-riainded children unless there were first noble-
minded and healthy mothers. With respect to the
advantages of the new costume over the old, she
claimed for it the superiority in convenience, form,
colour, easiness of adjustment, and picturesqueness of
effect.—(Hear, hear.) Having thus far addressed the
wives and mothers, Miss Knight would, while she
rested apace, address the daughters, the juveniles, then
present.

Miss CHARLOTTE KNIGHT, a young lady, appa-
rently about twelve years of age, then came forward,
and addressed the juveniles in a series of rhymes, the
burihen of which was to tease their papas and mamas
to buy them the Bloomer costume, in which they
would be ably to run, jump, and dance like men. On
concluding the young lady was rapturously encored,
but declined to repeat her address.
Mrs. KNIGHT then resumed, dwelling upon the
advantages to be derived from the adoption of the
new costune, among which would he the saving of
the time now consumed in " single stitch, double
stitch, and all the other stitches," which might instead
be devoted to the improvement of the female mind.
Ladies wore stays to give themselves a good figure,
but it was not a good figure; it was a cramped and
contracted figure, exactly representing the cramped
and contracted feet of the Chinese ladies, who looked
like towers based on pebbles, although their cramped
feet were, in truth, no more ridiculous than the wasp
waists of Englishwomen.—(Hear.) Redid not deny
that the new dress might seem awkward, and even a
little ridiculous at first, but that would wear off in
time. A Bloomer was a rare bird HOW, but they
were spreading their nets, and hoped to catch a few
more—(Laughter)—and from coming to hear lec-
tures on the dress, ladies would soon pass to wearing
the dress itself; and, after doing so with courage and
determination, they would find out its advantages, and
become Bloomers hadeed.—(Cheers.)
Mrs. Knight and her daughter retired from the
rostrum amid cheers from the audience, which then
quietly dispersed.

PARIS, SUNDAT.—Three "Bloomerists" made their
appearance on the Boulevards yesterday, and attracted
so much inconvenient attention that they were
obliged to take refuge from the crowd in a brougham.
BLOOMERISM IN EDINBUROII.—On Thursday
evening a young woman was perceived walking along
Nicholson-street, dressed in the most fantastic style
of,the Bloomer costume. Her appearance soon at•
traoted a large crowd of boys, whose remarks were
characterised by more freeness than politeness. The
young woman bore the insulting remarks very pa-
tiently, until she arrived at the South. Bridge, where
the crowd had increased to several hundreds. She
was at last reluctantly compelled to take refuge in a
haberdasher's shop from the crowd, which had grown
so dense as to make her further progress a difficult
matter.—Salurday Evening Post.
HUNTING A BLoomm.—Yesterday evening two
females, in the Bloomer costume, accompanied by two
gentlemen, promenaded in the vicinity of the Kent-
road, distributing bills, announcing a lecture on the
reformation of ladies' dress in the Borough •road.
The novelty in this case was, that the trousers were
loose over the instep, instead of being' fastened round
the ankle. A crowd soon collected round them, and
the male escort had some difficulty in getting them
along. As they approached the Elephant and Castle
the mob became exceedingly rude, and the party pru-
dently hailed a passing cab, in which the Bloomers,
after considerable pushing to get through the mob,
were deposited and driven off, amidst an indescribable
medley of sounds, whistling, cheering, and shouts of
laughter.

A FOREIGN BLOOMER.—Yesterday forenoon a con-
siderable degree of interest was manifested in War-
wick -street, Pimlico, and the neighbourhood, owing
to the appearance of a foreign lady, of something like
European notoriety, attired in full " Bloomer" cos-
tume. A great crowd having been attracted, the fair
Bloomer in question was followed by several hundred
of the juvenile population, who testified-their admira-
tion by loud and frequent applaudings of the
young lady's temerity in braving the storm of a
London mob, as yet not wholly wedded to the recent
invasion of the garbs of their ancestors. Whether a
new light has broke in upon the mind of a specimen
of a most singular race of the creation, is a question,
not perhaps to be answered by the essay of Miss
Luggy, one of the Bosjeman ladies, who for the last
four years, have been making the tour of Europe,
but certainly she, in the costume of a Bloomer, yester-
day, not only looked intelligent, but absolutely digni-
fied, as she strutted through Warwick-street, preceded
by a policeman, who gallantly heralded her approach,
by clearing a passage for the distinguished disciple of
the Transatlantic heroine. The fair Bloomer, whose
name, it is said, is Miss Luggy, seemed exceedingly
pleased, not only with herself, but with the reception
she was meeting, until at length one young urchin
taking it into his head to handle the short curly
down, yclept hair, of the diminutive lady, the scene
changed to one of a less pleasant nature, and it be-
came necessary for the gentleman of the force to lay
bands "upon the intruder, and walk him off to the
police station. The promenade of Miss Luggy was
of course brought to a close ; and several expressions
of sympathy from the matronly portion of the
audience, the young foreigner was, under the protec-
tion of a policeman, escorted to her home by several
of her most energetic admirers. However unsuited

to our English denies the new costume may be con-
sidered, there can be no doubt 'that it admirably ac•
Icords with the less civilised tastes.
