at the starting-post became very restive, and his temper in-
creasing ho kicked and reared most viciously, so much so
that his falling over seemed imminent. A long delay in
consequence occurred, but eventually Mr. Savilo's horse,
either from persuasion or exhaustion, became quieter, and
a good start was at length effected. One of the first note-

as he evinced a greater desire to stop and renew his vaga-
ries than to close with the leaders. When they had fairly
settled down in their stride, Foresight, forcing the pace,
rushed to the front, and soon held a lead of at least 10
lengths of a line of horses stretching across the course
Sweet Home and Catherine being slightly in advance of
them. They ran thus, with slight variation, for a quarter
of a mile, when the lino of horses as it were divided into
sections, Lord Westmorland's colours still being seen in ad-
vance of Sweet Home and Catherine, while on the loft side
of the course were Wroughton, the Sunflower filly, and
Vauban, the right being occupied by Lord Hastings, Silenus,
Nunquam Dormio, and Arundel—the latter lying very wide
of his horses. In rear of this division in the centre were
observed D'Estournel, Redbourne, and Taraban. As they
approached " the bushes," Catherine was beaten. The
pace began to tell on Foresight, who gradually dropped
back to his horses, and being dead beaten as they com-
menced the descent, Sweet Home momentarily held the
lead, but in a few strides farther she also gave way, leav-
ing Wroughton in command, closely attended by Vauban
and the Sunflower filly. D'Estournel and Taraban being
beaten as they appeared on the crest of the hill, the race
resolved itself into a struggle between the three placed,
who raced on clear of everything to the dip, where Mr.
Merry's filly was in difficulties, an exciting head-and-head
contest between Wroughton and Vauban commencing as
they ascended the hill to the finish. Mr. Cartwright's
colt apparently had the best of the race until within a
dozen strides of the post, when Vauban, whom Fordham
had brought up inch by inch, got on equal terms with his
opponent, and, answering gamely to his rider's final call,
won one of the finest races ever witnessed by a head. At
least half a dozen lengths from the second came the Sun-
flower filly, who was clear of Sweet Home and Breach of
Promise ; Lord Hastings was sixth, Redbourne seventh,
Arundel eighth ; Nunquam Dormio, Silenus, Taraban,
and Debut pulling up next. Foresight, Catherine, and
D'Estournel walked in several lengths in rear of the
others, the last named not being persevered with when his
chance of success was hopeless.

followed by New Guinea and The General, Midwife, and,
Golden Bloom bringing up the rear. This order was
maintained to the top of the hill, where Umbra gave way,
and New Guinea took up the running, maintaining an ad-
vantage of Midwife until half-way in the cords, when the
last-mentioned drew away and won cleverly by a neck
from New Guinea, who defeated The General a couple of
lengths for second place. Golden Bloom was fourth, and
Umbra last.

after starting, took up the running with a clear lead of
Primrose, Numa Pompilius, and Seringapatam, these being
slightly in advance of Whirligig and Apsley, the latter
lying wide on the right, and they ran thus across the flat.
At the turn of the lands Seringapatam dropped away, and
Plutus, who had been lying off in company with Christmas
Carol, ran through his horses and took second place, and
Numa Pompilius and Primrose, as they ascended the hill,
giving way, Apsley was the only other animal who could
bo considered in the race. Half way in the cords Ilibberd,
on Plutus, made a determined effort to reach Leases, who,
however, maintained his lead, and won easily by a length.
Apsley cantered in a bad third, Whirligig was fourth, a
couple of lengths in advance of Christmas Carol and Wild
Briar; then came Primrose and Numa Pompilius, Bering-
apatam bringing up the rear.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

THE " SATURDAY REVIEW" ON THE OPENING
OF THE PARIS EXHIBITION.—The good old custom
of making April fools, or, as the French have it,
April fishes, was on Mondayf last duly observed by
the Emperor Napoleon. As Emperors are accus-
tomed to do everything on a very extensive scale,
it need not surprise us that the Imperial peasantry
should count its victims by thousands. Great care
was taken to produce the impression that his Ma-
jesty would cross the Seine by the Pont de la Con-
corde, and keep to the left bank of the river. Sol-
diers were posted along that route, and a vast
crowd impatiently awaited the cortege. On the right
bank no precautions of this kind were visibly taken ;
heavy drays and carts of every descripti• al were
freely allowed to circulate till within a short time of
the Emperor's arrival, and when he passed a com-
paratively small number of spectators had the bene-
fit of beholding the light of his countenance. In
prudent arrangements of this kind the Emperor only
follows the example of Louis Philippe, but the Citi-
zen King never had the audacity to open an Exhi-
bition which was still for the most part in packing-
cases. The few thousands of April fools who lined
the quays from the Corps Legislatif to the Champ
de Mars were notthe chief victims on this occasion.
The foreigners who came from a distance were the
principal sufferers, for the Exhibition was not ready
to receive them. A canopy of green clath, with
golden bees, golden cords, and baldaguin of gilded
ornaments, supported on gaudy Venetian masts,
with long banners, extended from the road by the
river to the entrance of the Exhibition building.
Under this passed five or six carriages and four,
with the Emperor and his Court. The Empress
was there, but not the Imperial Prince, which
amounts to an avowal that the child is not so well
as the official reports represent him to be—a fact
which' will be sincerely regretted by many who are
not admirers either of Napoleon or Napoleonism.
Whether owing to this cause, or to the incomplete
state of the Exhibition, or to recent ill-health, or to
equally recent loss of political position, the Emperor
has seldom appeared less cheerful than at the open-
ing of this year's show. His visible sadness was
noticed 'by every one, and occasional attempts to
seem pleased and interested only served to deepen
the general gloom. Years are beginning to tell
upon him, and the passionleis countenance which
before seemed only inanimate has now acquired ex-
pression, for it expresses disappointment and fatigue.
The working-men in the streets read this last Mon-
day, and were heard to remark to each other that
their powerful master was not a man to be envied.
The Emperor did not wear a uniform, and the Em-
press was very simply dressed. People came in any
costume they liked, though most men wore black
trousers, and a certain proportion had put on the
ceremonial white cravat. 'mere was not much ap-
pearance of a great public rejoicing, but the sun-
shine, which was clear and bright all day, did much
towards giving a look of gaiety. The inside of the
building was not crowded, but the ring of cafés
which surrounds it did rather a considerable business
in the sale of refreshing beverages. As most of our
readers are already aware the building has no archi-
tectural pretension. The interior is about as in-
teresting as a railway tunnel, and a railway tunnel
with rapid curves. The only impression approach-
ing to grandeur is to be received when you first
enter the large outward passage where are the ma-
chines which in May or June may be " machines in
motion." This is, however, exactly alike from all
points of view, and the perspective is rapidly closed
by the curve of the ground-plan. It is only by an
effort of imagination that the spectator is able to
realise the true dimensions of the structure around
him. The building is entirely unsuited for any
public ceremonial except a precession, and the pro-
cession of last Monday was so sans facon as to be
scarcely a ceremonial at all. An elevated pathway,
or stage, supported on cast-iron pillars, runs round
the building in the middle of the great external
corridor before mentioned. Along this stake the
Emperor and Empress walked rather quickly, fol-
lowed by a promiscuous group of ladies and gentle-
men, and about a thousand people struggled to keep
pace with them amongst the general higgledy-
piggledy of pieces of cast-iron and railway trucks
and pitfalls and packing-cases below. It is really
wonderful that these people did not break their
necks, for it is a positive fact that there were pits
lined with masonry five or six feet deep and covered
slightly with deal boards, as well as wooden beams
and iron castings in dangerous profusion under the
feet of an excited little crowd. A feeble attempt
to conceal some scaffoldings from the eyes of the
Emperor can have succeeded only in putting him
still further out of temper. They were hastily
covered with large carpets, but only on the
side of the platform, whose vast curve revealed long
beforehand the true nature of these treacherous
structures. The Emperor had at first walked with
the Empress on his arm, but afterwards left her,
and crossed from side to side in an unconstrained
manner like an ordinary visitor, lifting his hat
occasionally in answer to cries of Vi v e
l'Empereur 1" for there was some approach to
enthusiasm here, and the little struggling crowd
amongst the pitfalls and packing-cases did truly
shout in the intervals of swearing at its own
peculiar difficulties and impediments. At last it
came to a standstill, like a sportsman before an im-
passable barrier, and had the mortification of seeing
the Imperial covey escape on its aerial path. A
light railing of slips of deal barred the way. This
would have soon been removed by the pressure
behind, but it was supported by a living barrier of
soldiers and gendarmes. Here many people were
persuaded to remain, becausethe Emperor was to
leave the Exhibition by this route, so guarded for
that reason. Accordingly some hundreds waited
here patiently for two hours, but the Emperor
slipped out elsewhere, and made April fools of
them all.
THE " WESTMINSTER GAZETTE " ON THE LIBERAL
CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN GERMANy.—The author of our
excellent little book, "Instruction for Kings," after
pointing out, as we have seen in our former
articles, the chief classes into which German
theologians are at present divided, adds the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks, which, we think, well
worthy of attention :—" Without doubt the cutting
reproach will at once be made : The writer of these
remarks is incorrigibly Roman,'prejudiced, and
devoid of judgment; at all even ts he understands
nothing
of the worth and essence of 'true science.'
Many men of the so-called German Science, if one
but tread upon their corns, or venture to express
different views from their own, immediately have
recourse to some such evasion. But

—a Jesuit, nor a pupil of the Jesuits ; he has
not studied in Rome or in Italy; he was never in
the German College, although acquainted with
many who were educated there ; all his studies
were completed in German colleges ; and the
greater number of his friends and acquaintances

tics.' He has never taken part in the scientific
warfare of the two schools though taking note of

least as is necessary to have an understanding
of the documents we have spoken of above, beyond
which it does not lie in the scope of our- work to
go. As we have now touched on the subject, we
will at once frankly declare what has principally
and disagreeably struck us on the part of
many of the representatives of the so-called
, German science,' and it can certainly only
serve to their detriment with all unprejudiced
persons. We mean the use of clap-trap, mere
phrases ; empty husks are welcome food for those
who do not give themselves the trouble of thinking,
and are quite calculated at first to call down upon
their adversaries the hostility of weak and empty
heads. Such l c ap-trap are the terms ' Roman'
and Scholastic.' They are intended to put those
whom they are aimed at under a kind of national
and scientific bann. All the odium, which, since
the time of the humanists, has been heaped upon
Rome, as the seat of the Papacy, upon the
Papacy itself, and upon scholasticism by Protes-
tants, and by perverse Catholics, is with the help of
such clap-trap hurled at the heads of their theo-
logical adversaries, while, on the other hand,
they claim for their own party • the exclusive
quality of being German and scientific. All this
appears to us quite unworthy of the dignity
