PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation Of gold at
Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is
25.121 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the
English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard
gold, it appears that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer
in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg
the price of gold is 4221 per mark, and the short
exchange on London is 13.3/ per £1 sterling. Standard
gold at the English Mint price is therefore about
1-10th dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course
of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days' sight is about bon per cent., which, when
compared with the Mint par between the two countries,
shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ;
and, after making allowance for charges of transport and
difference of interest, the present rate leaves a trifling
profit on the importation of gold from the United States.
Music in Nature.—What a power of music
there is in the soul of that clever old lady, Dame
Nature 1 What a glorious Eolian harp she ma-
nages to make between the strings of the mountain
pine-stems and the storm-gusts of the north wind. How
admirably she make the forte and diminuendo passages;
how judiciously she softens the "breves" of bass, and how
tenderly she arranges the rapid chromatics in the treble,
while the dark-plumed dancers bend to the notes in perfect
and stately measure. Now she indulges in a plaintive wail,
and anon she bursts on the ear with a triumphant I
march.

us sit beside the wimpling
way through the briery wood, and mark what delici-
oush
harmony it makes with the help of pebbles, rus es, and
lily-leaves, gentle and sweet, ever like an old-fashioned
madrigal or one of the quaint love-strains mine by a melan-
choly ill-used Strophon in praise of a cruel Amaranths in
ather boldly as it
the days of Dryads and shepierds' crooks. What an un-
dying cadence it keeps ; now singing r
tumbles headlong over the rugged fragments of stone flung
herevand there ; then murmuring with a persu.are gurglems;
as it creeps along under the blackberry's trailing
and a sort of
and whispering still more softly as it glides besideilg
the
lips of the convolvulus. Now it breaks out with
plashing chorus over a fallen alder-trunk, its if the broken
bubbles were each uttering a lady-like and tuneful scream
at the sudden shock received by their crystal system. Then
off it hurries round that sedgy, willow •shadowed corner, as
merry and melodious as a laughing child. Sing
on, sweet brooklet ; there is precious music in thy
soul to soothe the sorrowful, andwcharm the glad. Now
listen to the Hullah society of feathered pupils in
the orchards and valleys. There is not a tuning-f'rk
among them; every note is in a different "pitch," every
measure is unequal ; and yet the harmony is unbroken.
The rook keeps "cawing" in most brazen and Billingsgate-
like style; the robin whistles with a sort of conceited,
melancholy air ; the wood pigeon is quietly trying one little
tune over and over again; the cuckoo is doing the same;
the family of finches are all gabbling at once, like ladies
over a tea-table or gentlemen after dinner ; the lark is play-
ing his pipe as hard and fast as he can ; the black-cap and
the swift are doing their utmost to swell the melodious up-
roar ; and myriads of self4,aught musicians are each "prac-
tising" nobody knows how many "hours a day;" yet the
concord is perfect ; no out-of-tune jar is heard, no confu-
sion disturbs the dreamy listener. Fitt, sharp, and natu-
ral are all singing at once; but the swell of music falls
around us without a f .Ise accentuation, or a grating tone.
How different is the human arrangement of Costa's band.
Let Signor A.'s fiddle-string ba a thought lower than Sig-
nor B.'s flute, and tho consequences are serious. Let the
large trumpet be a degree flatter than the small fife, ur tho
triangle a point sharper than the °rubel, and the pit and
grand-tier would go into convulsions. Costa is a fine
leafr, unquestionably, but he will never be able to keep his
instrumentation as complete as the dear old lady Nature
does.—jfifsa 0010 ".AttinpfrOn Atiritoi,"

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1860

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) •
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
five o'clock.

non eurat lex," which he thought might, be freely transla.
ted, "Do not legislate*for feather weights." (Hear.)

The Earl of DERBY said that there certainly was some-
+ling in this subject which rendered it very dissimilar
to those usually discussed by theix lordships. .Most
of their lordships must have received great amusement
from some of the speeches which had been delivered, and
many of their lordships must have derived instruction also.
But he hoped their lordships would net consider it ungra-
cious of him if he added, after that amount of amusement
and instruction which they had received, that upon a sub •
ject of this nature their lordships were hardly as a body
competent to judge, even although they had such a large
attendance from the right rev. bench. [This allusion to
the large number of spiritual peers who were present was
received with much laughter.] One of the objects which
the noble lord stated that he had in view was to prevent
deterioration in the breed of horses of highest weight and
speed. Upon this point he (the Earl of Derby) thought he
could show that his noble friend's bill did not tend to pro-
duce the effects he desired ; and unless he made out some
very strong case of necessity, he agreed with the noble lord
opposite (Granville) that it was very undesirable that their
lordships should legislate on the subject. No doubt if a
real grievance or abuse had to be put down, there would be
an advantage in that and the other House of Parliament
interfering even in matters of this description. The noble
lord had spoken of the great amount of gambling, more
especially produced by handicapping. He so far agreed
with his noble friend that be very much regretted the great
amount of handicapping which had taken place of late
years. He regretted that; but at the same time he saw
that in the present state of the turf, and certainly extended
as it was throughout the country, it was quite impossible
to carry on racing without an infusion of the handicap
element, and a very large amount of harmless amusement
would be lost if handicapping were done away with alto-
gether. On the other hand, he did not deny that handi-
caps did afford considerable facilities for malpractices and
abuses. But he thought these abuses did not depend upon
the greater or less amount of weight ; they depended on
the principle of the handicap itself, the object of the handi-
cappers being to deceive others as to the quality of their
horses and their power of carrying weight. The noble
lord having referred to the statistics of the turf as show-
ing that horses were run upon much shorter training
than they were years ago, it might interest the noble lord
to hear the comparison which he (the Earl of Derby) had
made between the different ages of horses which were run
upon the turf in the years 1829 and 1859. The list he had
consulted, it was true, contained only the number of horses
which won in the former year, and the whole number which
ran in the latter, but from these numbers a comparison
might easily be made. In the year 1829, of two-year-olds
the number which won was 55, the number of three-year-
old horses which won was 394, and of all ages above three
years 179, making a total of 528. Thus the proportion of
two-year-olds which won in 1829 to three-year-olds was as I

2 to 7 ; the proportion of two-year-olds to the whole num-

ber above three years was as 1 to 9, and the proportion of
three-year-olds to horses above three years was about 5 to
7. In 1859 the whole number of horses that ran was 1,666
of different ages ; of these 538 were two years old, 504
three years old, and there were 594 of all ages above three

years. Thus the proportion of two-year-old horses to
three-year-olds, which in 1829 was as 2 to 7, in 1859 was

as 8 to 7 ; and the proportion of three. year-olds to older
horses, which in 1829 was nearly as 5 to 7, in 1859 was less
than Ito 3. He mentioned these facts to show that if
horses were not kept to training for the purpose of being in
a handicap, when handicaps were in a much less propor-
tion than they were now, there was a much larger propor-
tion of young horses formerly than there was at present.
His noble friend objectM that these handicaps tended to
discourage good horses and to give great advantages to bad
and inferior horses ; and the very character of a handicap
was that you must flame'your handicap so as to give a
moderate three-year-old as fair a chance of winning as a
superior four or six-year-old. For that purpose you must
have a range of from 4i to 5 stone. If you began with an
amount of 7 stone—though his noble friend had now re-
duced it to six—the consequence would be that in all han-
dicaps the superior old horses would have to carry 11 and
12 stone, and the handicap run would be left to inferior.
horses, which would have the advantage of being ridden by
jockeys instead of boys. The good horses would then be
absolutely excluded from handicaps, whilst at present they
had a fair chance. But when his noble friend said that
horses that could not carry six stone ought not to be kept
in training, and were good for nothing, he was mistaken,
for he (the Earl of Derby) could mention horses that with
six stone on their backs could not live at a racing pace for
three minutes, but which were quite competent to carry his'
noble friend across country for hours up to any hounds is
England. It was impossible in all cases to have lasting
qualities combined with enormous effort in point of
speed. It did:not, however, follow in the slightest degree
that because a horse could not carry six stone in a mile-
and-a-half race, and live, that he belonged to an inferior
class, and that he was incapable of being useful for racing
purposes. When the noble lord said it was more difficult
to get hunters now than formerly, he must remember that
hunting was a different thing to what it formerly was.
Perhaps the noble lord would like to go out at six o'clock
in the morning on a long slow dreary drag before he found
big fox, and ride at six or seven miles an hour for the re •
mainder of the day. Doubtless for that purpose our racing
horses were not precisely the animals—(" hear, hear," and
a laugh)—but he (the Earl of Derby) believed that if you
wanted animals combining bone and blood, action and
speed, sines and endurance—the character of the English
horse never stood higher than it did at present in every
part of the world. (Hear, hear.) If his noble friend wished
to do away with light weights and gambling on the turf,
he should also do away with light weights as they applied

to steeplechasing. He (the Earl of Derby) never saw but
one in his life, and he never wished to see one again. In
that case there were heavy weights, long courses, and old
horses. The lightest weight put up was Bst. 71b. ; yet he
ventured to say that, with regard to the character of the
race, the amount of gambling, and of danger to horses and
men, and the number of serious accidents, there was no
comparison between flat races and steeplechases. He did
not mean to deny that there were evils inseparable from
handicaps, but those evils did not depend upon light or
heavy weights, but upon the character of the handicappers.
He (the Earl of Derby) professed his belief that for the in-
terest of the turf he thought their lordships' intervention
might be more advantageously used than in raising the
weights as the noble lord proposed. What would be better
would be the absolute prohibition of all two-year-old races.
(Cheers.) There wqs one reason why he thought it desir-

able that all weights should be somewhat higher than they
were at present. It was not on account of the danger to
the little boys, but on account of the great difficulty there
was in procuring jockeys to ride old horses under the pre-
sent light weight system. As soon as a jockey arrived at
Bst. 71b., he had comparatively few opportunities of rid
ing, and the great amount of riding was monopolised by
the boys, who ranged from 64. 51b. to 7st. 101 b. When
a jockey got to Bst. Mb. or Bst. 71b., the labour he had
in bringing himself down to the required racing weight

had cost the life of many' a respectable man. He migh'

here state that this subject was under the serious con-
sideration of the Jockey Club, and a notice had been
given for the next meeting to consider the subject of
raising the weights for the Derby and other races from
Bst 71b to Bst 101 b, and a proposition was also under consi-
deration, and it had his cordial concurrence, for raising
weights on handicaps from a minimum of sst 71b. There
were many boys who could ride as well as any men, and
who in the bustle of a race would be perfectly masters of

their horses under circumstances where his :noble friend
would find himself very considerably in a fix. (Hear.) Th•
prevention of gambling and the improvement of horses were
no doubt desirabl, but he did not think they could be.
touched or promoted by this measure. He did not think
the noble lord had established such a case as to induce their

lordships to legislate on the subject when all legislation was
a failure, lie tholaght that after the general opinion ex-
pressed by their lordships, the noble lord would do well to
withdraw the bill without giving them the trouble to divide.
Lord REDESDALE offered to their lordships a few
words in reply before he followed the course which had been
recommended by the noble earl. After what had fallen from
the noble earl, and after the declarations which had been
made by so many eminent members of the Jockey Club, he
would not press the bill. But as the noble earl talked of
the older jockeys growing nervous, he would only read a
sentence from a letter which he had received from a prac-
tical man. The writer asked who had ever heard of a reder
in the Derby being nervous? and the reason was that
there were in that race no children employed as jockeys.
(Hear.)
The bill was then withdrawn.
The Duchy of Cornwall Limitation of Actions Bill went
through committee.
The Union of Benefices Bill was re committed, and seve-
ral verbal alterations agreed on.
The other orders of the day were
.disposed of, and their
lordships adjourned at ten o'clock.
