TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY.

The inexpediency of appointing two settling days
for the Derby has been frequently questioned, and
the subject has been again canvassed with greater
warmth than ever. Accounts from the country were
not received, and this circumstance alone caused
much inconvenience to those gentlemen whose prin-
cipal transactions were commission bets. Still a
large amount of money was circulated and very few
heavy balances remain to be adjusted. So f.sr as we
can judge from present appearances the business of
paying and receiving is likely to be brought to a
smooth termination. The " Ring"—al ways ready
"to part"—r-do not seem to be very heavily hit,`for
few liberties were taken with Thormanby, who held
his position in the betting almost from first to last
with much firmness ; whilst bookmakers must have
found Buccaneer, Umpire, St. Albans, and one or
two others most " useful instruments of gaming!'
It is said that Mr. James Merry wins in bets and
stakes nearly £lOO,OOO, and that his " commis-
sioner" nets £lO,OOO, and his trainer about £4,000.
It is a singular fact that John Sharpe, an English
jockey, who had much repute as a light weight
some years ago, should have been called all the
way from Russia to ride Thormanby. lle was,
however, at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Mat
Dawson placed on Northern Light (brother to
Rainbow), because Mr. Dawson fancied his English
experiences of great raceswere too limited to enable
him to ride the horse with sufficient judgment.
Young Custance won golden opinions by the way
in which he rode Thormanby, who was twice
nearly knocked down, and we trust he will know
how to turn the tide of fortune which has set in
towards him to good advantage. Until the final
settlement of accounts to-morrow (Tuesday) it
would be useless to refer further to the settling.
The reported absentees will then be known. There
was no betting.

THE OBJECTION TO UMPIRE FOR THE

DERBY.

The following is the official notice published in
yesterday's Calendar :

- Previous to the race Mr. Wyatt, the owner of
Nutbourne, objected to Umpire on account of his
age. On being called upon by the Stewards to
substantiate the charge he withdrew his objection,
and has since written the following letter of
apology :

" Nutbourne, May 26, 1860.
"My Lorda and Gentlemen,—l beg permission
to withdraw the objection against Umpire lodged
by me before the race for the Derby, and to express
my great regret for having made it. Being at the
time of the race in a state of some excitement, as the
owner of a favourite horse in the race, I did not
sufficiently consider that the question of. Umpire's
age had been previously disposed of to the satisfac-
tion of the proper authorities.
I wish to offer the fullest apology to Mr. Ten
Broeck for having made the protest, and to assure
him of my conviction that the objection made by
me was entirely groandless.—l have the honour to
be, your humble servant,
(Signed) " JOIIN WYATT.

THE IVAVY.

The contract-built steam gun-vessel Racehorse, 4,
sent from Woolwich to Chatham to be surveyed,
will be docked in order to be surveyed by Mr.
Lang, master shipwright.

The screw steam Coastguard ship Blenheim, 60,
Captain F. Scott, C. 8., left Portland harbour on
Saturday morning, under canvass, for Portsmouth.
A private letter received from her Majesty's ship
Sphinx, dated Singapore, April 15, says,—
" We leave here to-morrow for the north, with a
transport in tow. A large body of troops are said
to be collected at Shanghai, and were expected to
start thence for the north about the 25th. A great
number of Sikhs and a few native regiments have
come up here ; the remainder of the troops are Eng-
lish. A naval brigade of 2,000 men will be landed,
under the command of Capt. M'Cleverty."
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—John T. Gabriel, surgeon,
to the Hecate ; Duncan Hilston, acting assist.-sur-
geon, to the Edgar; Samuel Bamfield, acting assist.-
surgeon, to the Victory, for Haslar Hospital ; Wm.
H. Bell, acting assist.-surgeon, to the Hecate ; R.
J. Ellis, master's-assist., to the Wasp ; and Robert
Madge, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Cumber-
land, for charge of the machinery of the Griffin.

ST. JAMES'S.

The establishment of French plays in London,
which has been so often attempted, and has so ofteti
failed, has one more chance of suceess. M. Adrien
Talexy, a gentleman well known in dramatic cir-
cles, has organised a troupe embodying several of
the celebrities of Parisian theatres, -has engaged the
St. James's—decidedly the most appropriate locale
for such representations—and lastnight commenced
a fresh campaign, with every sign of a hopeful re-
sult. The house has been freshly decorated, and
looks airily pretty, and last night it was fully and
fashionably attended. The performances commenced
with a little introductory sketch, a prologue d'ou-
verture called" Les Etoiles de Paris," specially writ-
ten for the occasion,which was not particularlywitty,
but served its purpose well enough. Then followed
a very prettrpiece, " Le Cheveu Blanc," by Octave
Feuillet, which has been recently played in Paris.
The plot is simple, but very nice, the dialogue is
sparkling, and the acting excellent. A husband
and wife have been separated for 10 years, though
contriving to inhabit the same house. Jealousy on
both sides has caused a quarrel, which has brought
about this result, and neither seems disposed to give
way. On their return one night from a ball they
get into conversation ; he taxes her with her flirta-
tions, she informs him that a lady has been inquir-
ing his age. This is a sore point with him, and he
retorts savagely in reminding her of the date of her
own birth. In the course of their talk she sees in
his head his first grey hair, and thereupon speaks
her hopes ; how she had looked forward to the ad-
vent of this epoch in his life as -the chance of recon-
ciliation ; how that, the heyday of youth being
gone with both of them, it was fit that they should
forget old jealousies and thenceforth live happily ;
and how, finally, she had hampered the lock of his
door with the view of bringing about this consum-
mation, which it is needless to say takes place. The
two characters are played with the most perfect
finish and delicacy by Mdlle. Duverger and M. Paul
Devaux, and the little piece will doubtless become
a great favourite in London. The last and longest
piece was one in three acts by M. Legouve, called
" Par Droit de Conquete,"and turns upon the rivalry
existing between the roturier and aristocratic
classes, and the method by which a rich and clever
member of the former wins the daughter of one of
the proudest representatives of the latter race. It
is rather heavy and prolix, and not entirely suited
to English tastes. M. Brindeau, of the Theatre
Francais, who played the hero, has plenty of spirit
and verve, but he is a little ponderous both in
manner and figure. Mr. Talexy will best suit
the wishes of his audience by playing short
siarkling vaudevilles and modern comedies
tolerably devoid of sentiment. Among the artists
announced to appear are Mdlle. Adele Pages,
Mdme. Delphine Fix, and M. Got. With such
talent at his command the director can do wonders,
and sustain and improve upon the capital start
which he made last night.

By F. B. COIiRTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the 'production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been difected, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

where she was in service for money. His cor duct
had been such as to make his wife dread him, and
she now sought the magistrate to relieve her from
the fear she entertained, and also to grant her a
protection order, so that she might enjoy the i pages
of her industry without molestation.
Mr. Arnold pointed out the anomaly existi rig in
complaining that a man would insist upon co tr ang
to where his wife was, and soliciting a prott a tion
order consequent upon desertion. He the t in-
quired what were the particulars under whic;) the
man and his wife had become separated.
The wife stated that eight years ago her hued band
left her, stating that he should go and look or a
situation, as he had no means of maintaininc, her,
when, as she was left with her two children tot' sup-
port, she entered the service of Lady Elizi tbeth
Russell's family as head nurse, in which she, had
remained ever since ; she had not seen her hth ;band
for upwards of two years, but had, in ansm 'ar to
his applications from time to time, sent him m 4 )n ey.
She thought it very hard that she should be obllig•ed
to do so.
Mr. Arnold asked what induced her to go in far
of her husband ; whether he had used any thr viLts
•
towards her.
The wife replied, not personally, because she b ad
not seen him ; but when last at the house, he to Id
the footman that "he would have his revenge: -of
her."

Mr. Arnold did not think it a case in which ,be
could now grant a protection order to secure her
earnings to herself under the Matrimonial Ca w es
Act, but could not say whether the Divorce Col art
might not protect her by some decree ; had she
sought the magistrate's order during his deserti on,
and before his return, there might hare beent no
difficulty. He thought it was a very hard case ull )on
the wife, and if the footman, to whom the rem.: trk
had been made, "he would have his revenge,"
would attend at the court, he (Mr, Arnold) wee old
see what could be done respecting her perscgaal
safety.

TILE PASSPORT SYSTEM.

The present passport system finds a strong oppo-
nent in the Constitutionnel, which, after giving an
accouit of the legislation in France on the question
from the origin, seems to incline to the opinion
that such impediments to free circulation will be
shortly abolished in the French territory. The
article terminates in these words :

" When we pass iu review the whole legislation
on passports, which, starting from a false principle,
pretended at first to ascertain and guarantee even
the morals of travellers ; when we reflect how very
problematical are the services it may have rendered
to society; and when in our days we see it fall into
desuetude, at least within the frontiers of the em
pire, it is impossible not to foresee that its end is
near. Thank God! there are no longer in France
armed bands roving about the country and living
by plunder, vagabonds, thieves, and murderers,
who maltreat the honest man, and turn him out of
his own house' (as stated in an ordonnance of Fran-
cis 1., dated Sept. 25, 1523). At present the power-
ful hand of the Government everywhere maintains
order and security; the action of the law meets
with no apposition ; among the rural populations,
as well as in the towns, the most complete tran-
quillity prevails. France, at the head of civilised
nations, calmly enjoys her glory and greatness ; she
gives the world an admirable spectacle of her laws
and institutions. The Emperor's Government, after
having happily realised such extensive reforms, may
without danger recognise the principle of free cir-
culation which the Constituent Assembly inscribed
in our laws, but could not establish in practice.
Equally liberal, but more powerful, the Imperial
Government can not only proclaim it, but make it
a reality."
In reference to the above, a writer in a contem-
porary says :—" I much doubt whether the Consti-
tutionnel, which is known to receive its inspira-
tions' in official regions, would venture to publish
without authority, or without being certain of al)•
proval, the article of which the above are the closing
sentences. The passport system has been long ago
judged and condemned, not only as tyrannical, but
utterly useless for the purposes it was meant to
promote. No retractation can be more complete
than that in the semi-official journal. It was the
C onstitutionnel, I remember, which previous to the
Orsini attentat maintained the absolute necessity
of passports, and even after that atrocious attempt
which to others was the strongest evidence of
their utter worthlessness, still maintained that
they were certificates that conferred honour
on the bearer—checks on crime, rather than facili-
lities for committing it. I appealed during that
controversy to an authority which the Constitu-
tionnel would not, could not, and did not not dis-
pute—that of the Emperor Napoleon 111. himself.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, May 26.—Our growing crop is
for the most part -favourably spoken of by the
planters to-day ; yet there are exceptions, on cold
wet lands, where the bine is looking weak and yel-
low, and does not make much progress. We hear of
a few flies having been seen here and there, but-
nothing of any consequence. Market very quiet.
OTFORD, May 23.—The bine is making rapid
progress, and tying is going on vigorously.
WALDRON, May 23.—The hops in this neigh-
bourhood have done wonders this week •, the poles
generally speaking are all set up, and the business
of tying has commenced in good earnest, which
in many cases the women are troubled to get
along fast enough with, as the hills furnish plenty
of bine.

CANTERBURY, May 23.—The bine is growing
rapidly, entirely beating the tyers, who are few in
number. Great quantities of flea still infest most
grounds, and the leaves are much injured by them.
The bine carries an excellent colour, and is at
places some feet up the poles. No fly has made its
appearance at present.
PLAXTOL, May 24.—The past week has made a
great alteration in the appearance of our hop
grounds. The bine is growing rapidly, and looks
healthy in most-places,
HEADCORN, May 24.—The hops are growing fast,
and in some places are running away from the
tyers.
TUNBRIDGE WELI,S, May 24.—The hop polling
is nearly or quite finished, and the bine has grown
very fast this last week.
WARBLETON, May 24.—We have only to chro-
nicle the fact that the weather during the last fort-
night has been capital for the growth of the
and that the hop tying is progressing busily. here
is, however, a complaint that in some gardens the
plant is not clean.—Sussex Express.

SSIORNCLIFFE CAMP.—The new reading-rooms
and library for the use of the troops are nearly completed,
and will form one of the most commodious and substantial
buildings at the camp. The 2d battalion of the 2d Regi-
ment from Aldershott is ordered to Shorncliffe to occupy a
portion of the building at present used as an hospital, the
War Department having determined upon the erection of
a new hospital. Major-General Mansell, attended by his
aide-de-camp, last week completed his inspection of the
whole of the troops and the various departments of the
camp.

PARIS, MAY 28.
The Foudre, which was to hare left Tdulon for
Naples, has received a counter-order. According
to the Senzaphore of Marseilles she is to proceed to
Morocco, to take on board an Embassy coming to
France, among the members of which is a Prince
of the blood.

BOURSE, May 26.—The market at the opening
showed some little buoyancy, stock being in de-
mand for the arrangements of the settlement, but
later in the day it again became heavy. Threes,
after having been done at 69f 40c, improved to 69f

near. Thank God ! there are no longer in France
armed bands roving about the country and living
by plunder, vagabonds, thieves, and murderers,
who maltreat the honest man, and turn him out of
his own house' (as stated in an'ordonnance of Fran-
cis 1., dated Sept. 25, 1523). At present the power-
ful hand of the Government everywhere maintains
order and security; the action of the law meets
with no apposition ; among the rural populations,
as well as in the towns, the most complete tran-
quillity prevails. France, at the head of civilised
nations, calmly enjoys her glory and greatness ; she
gives the world an admirable spectacle of her laws
and institutions. The Emperor's Government, after
having happily realised such extensive referms,may
without danger recognise the principle of free cir-
culation which the Constituent Assembly inscribed
in our laws, but could not establish in practice.
Equally liberal, but more powerful, the Imperial
Government can not only proclaim it, but make it
a reality."
In reference to the above, a writer in a contem-
porary says :—" I much doubt whether the Consti-
tutionnel, which is known to receive its ' inspira-
tions' in official regions, would venture to publish
without authority, or without being certain of ap•
proval, the article of which the above are the closing
sentences. The passport system has been long ago
judged and condemned, not only as tyrannical, but
utterly useless for the purposes it was meant to
promote. No retractation can be more complete
than that in the semi-official journal. It was the
Constitutionnel, I remember, which previous to the
Orsini attentat maintained the absolute necessity
of passports, and even after that atrocious attempt
which to others was the strongest evidence of
their utter worthlessness, still maintained that
they were certificates that conferred honour
on the bearer—cheeks on crime, rather than facili-
lities for committing it. I appealed during that
controversy to an authority which the Constitu-
tionnel would not, could not, and did not not dis-
pute—that of the Emperor Napoleon 111. himself.

RE,7ENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The Dowager Countess of Mansfield.—The will
and two codicils of the Right Hon. Frederica
Countess of Mansfield were proved in the principal
registry of London on the 21st May, by Sir George
Clerk, Bart. ; William John Law, Esq., the
nephew; and the Right Hon. Lady Elizabeth Anne
Murray, the daughter, the executors and trustees..
The personalty was sworn under £70,000. The will
and codicils were made in August, 1851. Her
ladyship disposes of her property amongst her sons
and daughters, with the exception of a small be-
quest to her sister. To each of her four daughters
she leaves a pecuniary legacy, and to the three who
are unmarried she leaves for their joint use the
whole of her furniture, plate, linen, china, jewel-
lery, ornaments, of the person, carriages, and all
other effects, except funded property ; the latter
her ladyship has left to be equally divided..— ORO
moiety to the children of her late son, the Hon.
Chas. John Murray, and the other moiety to her
son, the Hon. David Henry Murray, and to his
wife and children ; and, should they not acquire
vested interests therein, then to devolve to those
who may be surviving of her said younger son and
daughters. The countess survived her husband, the
late earl, 20 years, his lordship having died in 1840.
Her ladyship was in her 87th year, and was the
daughter of the late Dr. Markham, Archbishop of
York.

The Hon. D. Hooft.—The will of the Hon. Daniel
Hooft Jacobzoon, Knight of the Order of the Ne-
therlands Lion, late of the city of Amsterdam, was
proved in London on the 7th of May by the Hon.
Hendrick Baron van Slingelandt van Goedschalk-
xoort and Jacob Baron van Slingelandt, both of the
Hague, the executors. This is a Dutch testamen-
tary instrument, and it contains the peculiarity in-
cident to the customs of the country. The directions
of the testator are that his effects in Great Britain
and Ireland should be administered to by the gen-
tlemen above named, but without reference to any
disposition thereof. It bears date the 28th of April.
1850, and he died at Amsterdam on the 18th of
February last.
Sir Peter Soame Bart.—The will and codicil of
Sir Peter Soame John Everard Buckworth Herne

having renounced. The personalty was sworn under
£lB,OOO. The will bears date the 3d of May, 1843.
He has bequeathed to each of his two brothers,
John and Charles, a legacy of £l,OOO, or to their
children, and the residue of his property he leaves
to his wife and children.—lllustrated London News.

NEW ADELPHI THEATRE.

Among the entertainments provided last evening
at this elegant theatre by its enterprising manager,
was " Going to the Derby," the name and incidents
of which recal the pleasure-seekers to the sporting
incidents of last week, so far as the road to Epsom
is concerned. Much of the " fun" of the Derby
race, to those who are unconnected with sporting
transactions, and who hare no taste for betting,
consists in the pleasure of a drive, at a season of
the year when nature has so many attractions, and
when, in addition to the geniality of the season,the
delicious fragrance of the hawthorn, the verdure of
the fields, and all the varied luxuriance of nature,
they can observe the vast number and varied cha-
racters of human beings who throng the roads on
their way to the " Isthmian games," all bent on
pleasure, some on mischief, and a large propor-
tion engaged during their progress in "chaffing."
" Going to the Derby" was intended to give a
farcical picture of these incidents and cir-
cumstances, and was performed some years ago
at this theatre with great success. It was re-
produced last evening before a respectable and
numerous audience. Mr. Jeremiah Twiddle, the prin-
cipal character, and the source and centre of all
contretemps that occur was represented most hu-
morously by Mr. J. L. Toole ; while Mr. Paul Bed-
ford ably sustained his ancient reputation in the
part of Chucks. Miss E. Thorne performed with
ability the difficult part of Mrs. Twiddle ; and
Miss Kate Kelly was equally successful as Mrs.
Chucks. The audience were much gratified with
the piece, and though not a novelty, its reception
last night was sufficiently laudatory to warrant re-
petition.

The other entertainments were, " It's an 11l Wind
that Blows nobody Good," and " Our Female
American Cousin,' the latter of which has been
performed several days in succession, and in which

CITY BETTING-YESTERDAY.

The Racing Times says :—The morning was almost ex-
clusively occupied in settling on the Epsom week, and
scarcely a bet was made on future events. The settling, as
far as it went, was tolerably smooth. We heard of but one
case of default to any amount.

The betting on the Ascot Cup was entirely confined to
Thormanby and Promised Land, and aids were laid on
those two. 10 to 1 bar those two.

The Ascot Stakes Acceptances are out. The handicap
does not appear to give satisfaction. All the bookmakers
seem full about everything—that is, they are reserving
themselves until the Derby settling is over. As this is the
first time any money has been added, we should have been
glad to have seen a better acceptance.

ST. JAMES'S.

The establishment of French plays in London,
which has been so often attempted, and has so often
failed, has one more chance of success. M. Adrien
Talexy, a gentleman well known in dramatic cir-
cles, has organised a troupe embodying several of
the celebrities of Parisian theatres, has engaged the
St. James's—decidedly the most appropriate locale
for such representations—and lastnight commenced
a fresh campaign, with every sign of a hopeful re-
sult. The house has been freshly decorated, and
looks airily pretty, and last night it was fully and
fashionably attended. The performances commenced
with a little introductory sketch, a prologue d'ou-
verture called " Les Etoiles de Paris," specially writ-
ten for the occasion ,which was not particularly, w itt y,
but served its purpose well enough. Then followed
a very pretty piece, " Le Cheveu Blanc," by Octave
Fcuillet, which has been recently played in Paris.
The plot is simple, but very nice, the dialogue is
sparkling, and the acting excellent. A husband
and wife have been separated for 10 years, though
contriving to inhabit the same house. Jealousy on
both sides has caused a quarrel, which has brought
about this result, and neither seems disposed to give
way. On their return one night from a ball they
get into conversation ; he taxes her with her flirta-
tions, she informs him that a lady has been inquir-
ing his age. This is a sore point with him, and he
retorts savagely in reminding her of the date of her
own birth. In the course of their talk she sees in
his head his first grey hair, and thereupon speaks
her hopes ; how she had looked forward to the ad-
vent of this epoch in his life as the chance orrecon-
ciliation ; how that, the heyday of youth being
gone with both of them, it was fit that they should
forget old jealousies and thenceforth live happily ;
and how, finally, she had hampered the lock of his
door with the view of bringing about this consum-
mation, which it is needless to say takes place. The
two characters are played with the most perfect
finish and delicacy by Mdlle. Duverger and M. Paul
Devaux, and the little piece will doubtless become
a great favourite in London. The last and longest
piece was one in three acts by M. Legouve, called
" Par Droit de Conquete," and turns upon the rivalry
existing between the roturier and aristocratic
classes, and the method by which a rich and clever
member of the former wins the daughter of one of
the proudest representatives of the latter race. It
is rather heavy and prolix, and not entirely suited
to English tastes. M. Brindeau, of the Theatre
Francais, who played the hero, has plenty of spirit
and verve, but he is a little ponderous both in
manner and figure. Mr. Talexy will best suit
the wishes of his audience by playing short
sparkling vaudevilles and modern comedies
tolerably devoid of sentiment. Among the artists
announced to appear are Mdlle. Adele Pages,
Mdme. Delphine Fix, and M. Got. With such
talent at his command the director can do wonders,
and sustain and improve upon the capital start
which he made last night.
