TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Will you, through your. columns, permit me to
ask when the " Jew question is to be settled, and when
are London and its suburbs to be really represented?
The former has certainly not been so for some years. I
trust, however, that my Bative town—Manchester—will
at once speak out and say, that if a fellow-citizen (no
matter or what persuasion) be responsible on his alle-
giance to serve his Sovereign and his country in all the
offices incidental to his position as such citizen, and is
also authorized to vote at the election of a representative
to serve in Parliament—thus delegating to another the
right of legislation—why should he not also be enabled,
if chosen by a numerous and influential body of his
fellow subjects, to take a part in the making of those
laws by which himself and his fellows aro and
must be bound. Why, I ask, should it be otherwise?
Having onerous and important duties to perform, why
should they not have the corresponding privileges?
During the session now rapidly approaching its termi-
nation, weeks—nay, months—have been expended in re-
pressing the aggressions of a foreign potentate, who
claims a temporal as well as spiritual allegiance from
English subjects. They are still (although recognising
these untenable claims) permitted to sit in the British
Parliament, and to act either as hereditary or elected
legislators. The Jews are subjected to no such in-
fluences; they have received the most substantial marks
of the confidence of their Sovereign—having been on
various occasions appointed to act in the time-honoured
and important offices of high-sheriffs and magistrates.
Why, then, should they be treated with greater harsh-
ness or more suspected than the Roman Catholics?
The country will not any longer stand this ridiculous
nonsense. The time has long since gone by for these
exhibitions of intolerance, and if the Government are not
prepared to assume a manly and straightforward part,
the sooner they make up their mind to retire from office
the better.

We have, however, still confidence in Lord John—
in his honesty, his purity, and his courage. Let him dis-
card the influences that have hitherto warped his better
judgment. Let him remember what Manchester did
in the olden time, when the Reform Bill was in danger.
I shall never forget the stern and unflinching resolution
of the men of Manchester, and those who then acted thus
nobly will once and for ever insist upon an end being
put to all these religious anomalies.
No one can respect our glorious Constitution in all its
elements—Sovereign, Lords, and Commons—more than
myself; but each must keep their places and co-operate
together. The Lords have now bearded the people, and
they must he responsible for any difficulty that may
arise. I hope arid trust that these
tttdifficulties may not
be of a more formidable character an th ey have at
present any notion of:—I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
E. B.

THE PROBABLE FIELDS AND WINNERS OF
TO-MORROW'S RACES AT GOODWOOD.

TO THE EDITOR OF TAE SUN.
Sia,—l have already given glances four at the proba-
ble results of the week's racing on the Downs of Sas-
sex, I shall now merely give a programme of to-mor-
row's races, which, of course. has been subjected to cor-
rections up to the latest moment—hsilf-past one o'clock
this day. The Gratwicke Stakes, one mile and a half,
will be won by HERNANDEZ; Iris or Miserrima second;
Bonnie Dundee third; Phlegra, Anspatoh, and Catalpa
not placed. The Ham Stakes, three-quarters of a mile,
I fancy, will be won by FATHER THANES or the Good-
wood horse; Claverhouse and the Cheshire Witch filly
being close up, and H. R. H. filly, Bull's-eye, Glenluce
or Greengage, and one of Mr. Herbert's colts figuring
In the rear. MIDAS, ill the absence of Ariosto, will
win the 50 Soya. Stakes, Kakistos, if they run him,
second. The Levant Stakes, half a mile, will be won
by the Goodwood horse ; in this instance probably
Horne-brewed ; with Caning second, Ambrose and
the Cestus filly not placed. The Great 300 Save. Stakes
will be won by NUTSHELL, William the Conqueror se-
cond. The Craven Stakes and the two Fifty Pound
Plates, do not close until this evening at eight o'clock.
The betting market this morning is in a highly sensi-
tive state, the odds varying with every trivial report
that's breathed. Latest figures up to two o'clock are as
follows:—Gratwicke-6 to 4 on Hernandez, 5 to 4 laid
