SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CHESTER RACES.-THE CUP DAY.

It is a doubtful point whether more people could by any
possibility be found on the Roodee on the Cup Day than
have been accustomed to gather there on former years. If
more could come they were there this afternoon—holiday-
makers of every class, and sportsmen not a few. The day
was unusually fine.

The Chester Cup has been clothed in mystery this year.
"Does any one know anything abom this Cup ?" said a
Look-maker in the ring this morning ; and the question
might have been asked ie sober earnest. No one did know
anything. The starting or non-starting of the Marquis of
Hastings's Lecturer was the question that absorbed al;
others. Announced at Newmarket last week as a doubtful
runner, owing to Lord Hastings not having been enabled
to back his horse at a fair price through the eager rush of
the public to get on such a favourite as Lecturer, his pre-
sence in the handicap has almost paralysed Speculation.
We mentioned in our yeslerday's remarks the marked
silence of the ring in contrast to the Babel of sounds that
usually arise froth it on the eve of II great race. Last night
at the Subscription-rooms there was not much improve-
ment. The only horse backed for any money was Arcbi-
medes, and Mr Steel laying Lord Hastings 4,000 to 2,000
against Lecturer " with a start" was the only transaction
about the favourite.

Thi■ afternoon, as the time drew on for the great race,
the difficulties iu Lecturer's path appeared to be removed,
for the tone of the market declared him to be a starter, and
more than 100 to 30 could not be obtained. Moulsey,
another of the doubtful division, and from the same cause
that affected the favourite, was backed by his noble owner
at the last moment, and immediately became second
favourite at 5 to 1. Archimedes rather retrograded on
Moulsey's advance, and the others remained pretty well in
the position they have ocenpied for some time past.
Twenty-one starters assembled in the paddock, all, of
course, in first-rate condition, the palm for good looks being
borne by Archimedes, Lucifer, and Weather Star. That
Lord Stamford's handsome horse could win, provided be
did not exhibit temper, few dotibted, and, pulling Morris
half out of the saddle, he lay in the front rank till within
half a mile from home, when his jockey's whip was seen to
be raised, and he gave way. The race, which was run at
an indifferent pace throughout, was left from this point to
the favourite, Beeswing, and Endsleigh, the latter looking
the winner till at the distance she succumbed, and Mr.
Heathcote's mare came in an easy winner by three lengths,
with the much-dreaded Lecturer a moderate third.

The Be!gray's Stakes of 5 sous each, with 40 added ; two
year olds 7st, three 9st 21b; fillies and geldings allowed
31b; winners at any time (handicap excepted) once 51b,
twice 101 b extra; maiden two year olds allowed 51b,
three 10lb ; the winner to be sold for 100 sous, if for 50
allowed 71b; half a mile. 7 subs.

Betting-5 to 4on Lady Barbara, 100 to 30 agst Ash-
stead, and 4 to 1 agst Captain.

Captain, with Ashstead at his girths, made play, followed
by the favourite and Paleface, to the turn into the straight,
when the former was beaten and resigned in favour of Lady
Barbara,who came on slightly in advance of Ashstead, and
won very cleverly by a length, Ashstead defeating Paleface
(who headed Captain half-way in the distance) by a neck,
three lengths separating the third and fourth. The winner
was sold to Sir F. Johnstone for 150 guineas.

The numbers of the 21 runners were duly announced on

and after a few failures they left the starter a few minutes
after the appointed time. Leases, Harry Brailsford, and
Mdlle. Cleopatro holding a clear lead of Moulsey, Beeswing,
Leap Year, and Archimedes, who headed the next division,
in the rear of whom were seen the colours of Miss Have-

passing which Leap Year held a clear lead of Mdlle. Cleo-

Harry Brailsford, and the

whipped in by Miss Havelock, Tormentor, and Augustin.
These positions were retained into the straight; but
shortly after Endsleigh, overpulling Murray, ran through
her horses and came past the Stand the second time with a
clear lead, Lord Stamford's pair following next, close up ;
with whom came Whirligig, Moulsey, The Rescue,
Augustin, and Harry Brailsford, who had Rama, Weather
Star, and Lecturer in their Wake ; Leases, Mdlle. Cleo-
patre, and Miss Havelock being tailed off with Lucifer.
Passing the railway bridge Leap Year was beaten and
dropped away fromEndsleigh, his place being taken by Fan
and The Rescue to the half-mile post ; here Archimedes'
exhibited his temper, and whatever chance he may have
possessed was disposed of, and ho suddenly dropped into
the rear. A few strides farther Fan gave way, and Bees-
wing and Lecturer, having gradually improved their posi-
ticin, drew towards the leaders, followed by Moulsey ; the
ruck from the severity of the pace at the time exhibiting a
very extended appearance. When fairly round the Gros-
venor turn Beeswing joined Endsleigh, the pair racing for
the lead into the straight, where the latter drew in ad-
vance, and as they
neared the distance she drew away
and won in a canter by three lengths, Endsleigh defeat-
ing the favourite by four lengths for second, the latter
finishing half a length in advance of The Rescue, who was
placed fourth. Moulsey was fifth, Fan sixth, Miss Have-

third section of the Compound Householders Act(l4 and 15
Vic. c. 14), which enacts " That in Cases where by any
composition with the landlord a less sum should be payable
than the full amount of rate which except for such corn_
position would be due in respect of the same 'Remises, the
occupier claiming to be rated should not be bound to pay or tender more than the amount then payable under such
composition." Whether the new compound house-
holder whose vote depended on the occupation of a house
rented under £lO would obtain the benefit of the above-
mentioned
third section of the Compound Householders
Act; and whether it was the intention of the Government
to subject the compound householders under £lO to a dis-
advantage which does not apply to the compound honse-
holders above £lO, by putting them in a-different position
as regards getting ou the register of voters.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, with
reset ct to the ilia inquiry, he had to say that the clause
referred to was not intended to have any reference to
the third section of the act referred to. Ho was aware
there was some ambiguity iu the wording of the clause in
the bill now under consideration of the house, and he
should be prepared ni the proper time to wake certsiu alte-
rations, but in order that there might be no ambiguity he
had to state that the clause in the bill had no reference to
14 and Vie. Thatexplanation would renderany reference
to the second inquiry tinneces.,ary. With respect to the
third inquiry, the Government had no wish to attach to
the new franchises any of the obligations that attached to
those now iu existence. There was no wish to place the
voters by the bill of the Government under the 14th and
15th of Victoria, which he looked upon as a. bad act, and
although ho was not prepared to move its repeal, he did
not wish to be a party to an extension of its provisions.
(Hoar, hear.)

THE LICENSING SYSTEM
Mr. W. E. FORSTER aaked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department what course he intended to take
with regard to the licensing of houses for the sale of in-
toxicating liquors.

Mr. WALPOLE said the bill introduced by the bon.
member (Mr. Graves) had been withdrawn, because the
Government could not, on financial grounds, agree to its
introduction. He had said on a former occasion
that the licensing system required to be fully
considered, and he had also stated that during
the time between tho present and ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament he would consider the whole matte;
and lay the result of his deliberations before his colleagues
with a view of introducing a measure which would set the
matter at rest. That was what he had stated, and that
was what he intended to do. (Hear, hoar.)
THE TORNADO.

. Lord STANLEY said, owing to the position of affairs
at the present moment between this country and Spain,
he had to ask the hon. member fur Minton to abstain
from bringing the matter of the Tornado under discussion
to-morrow evening.
Mr. B. COCHRANE regretted that ha had been asked
to postpone his motion, but he could not after the obser-
vations of the noble lord bring it forward. He hoped theh
Government would enable him to bring the matter under
the attention of Parliament as early as possible. He would
take that opportunity of stating that the course the noble
lord had taken in his communications with the Govern-
ment of Spain he believed met with general satisfaction.
(Hear, hear.)
TEIE METROPOLITAN GAS BILL.
In reply to an HON. MEMBER,
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said that certain proposals had
been made to the gas companies, but no definite result
had yet been arrived at. If the proposals were accepted,
the bill would be read a second time, as a matter of course,
but if not then it would remain with the house whether it
would give its assent to the bill proceeding in the usual
way.
REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Earl GROSVENOR said that since the last division he
had consulted with several members, and he had come
to the conclusion that it would be quite useless in bring-
ing forward his amendment iu favour of a .£5
rating franchise, and therefore he should not press that
part of his amendment, but, at the same time, he held
himself perfectly at liberty to bring forward the second
part of his amendment. (Hear, hear.) The reason that
had induced him to adopt that course was that he thought
it would be useless to occupy the time of the house in dis-
cussing a matter which there was no hope of carrying.
(Hear, hear.) His first desire was to see the bill made a
satisfactory. one, and if it was not, then there would remain
the opportunity on the motion for its third reading of mov-
ing us rejection. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord then pro-
ceeded to defend himself against the charge of collision
that had been made against him, and said it waa altogether
a mistake, as he had never acted in collision with any
member to defeat the bill.

The house then went into committee on the bill.

On clause 3 being read,
Mr. AYRTON moved an amendment, the effect of
which was to fix the time of residence necessary
for a qualification for being placed upon the re-
gister of voters at 12 months instead of two years, as was
proposed by the clause as it stood in the bill. He con-
tended that the time fixed by the Government was
altogether
.too long, and, although personally he was in
favour of less time even than he had proposed, he brought
forward the amendment as a comprom.se, which he hoped
would be accepted by the Government. (Hear, hear.)
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he was sorry he could not, on
the part of the Government, agree to the proposal of the
hon. gentleman the member for the Tower Hamlets.

Establishment of a _ European College at

Pekin.

SIIANGIIAI, March 9.
Subjoined is the translation of a memorial ad-
dressed by the members of the Tsong-li-ya-men
(Council for the School of Languages) to the Em-

peror of China, proposing the establishment of a

European College at Pekin :

" PEKIN, Jan. 28, 1867.
" We have had the honour previously to address
to your Majesty a report, in which we stated the
necessity of introducing into China the study of the
mathematical sciences and of astronomy, pointing

out also the facilities it would be advisable to offer

to those persons who should enter into their pursuit.

Your Majesty has deigned to approve our recotn-

tnendations.

WQ have therefore considered that as the ma-
thematical sciences serve as the basis for the con-
ttruction of all kinds of machines, it would be ad-

visable to join to the already existing classes of the
school of languages of the Tsong-li-ya-men a special
class for their tuition, and to admit thereto, after
an examination of their fitness, Chinese and Mant-
chou doctors of letters (ku-jen) and bachelors of the

Eve classes (pa long), as well as civil functionaries
of the fifth rank and below, furnished with diplomas,
ns licentiates of letters (tsin-che) obtained at exami-
nations. The classes should be taught by European
professors. We only await your Majesty's authori-

nation to lay before you the regulations we propose
to establish. Your Majesty has deigned to invite

'us to do this the fifth day of the 11th moon.
"In proposing to your Majesty to favour the
ntudy of the mathematical science, the Tsong-li-ya-
=en is not impelled by a sentiment of blind admi-
ration for knowledge of this kind possessed by the
Europeans, nor by an extravagant love for novelty.
The reason is, that in reality the construction of

nix chines for warlike and industrial purposes, so
important in our days, is based entirely upon the

sciences.

China wishes to construct her steamboats

for herself ; but to enable her to do so European
masters must initiate her in the principles of the

mathematical sciences and point out the course to

pursue. It would be a mistake and a fruitless ex-
penditure of labour and money to hope that the

Chinese cculd attend such a result by their imagina-

tion alone.

" IVe have seriously reflected upon the subject
before presenting to your Majesty this present me-
morial. IVe know that persons more accustomed

to debate than to reflect will say that we are con-

cerning ourselves with matters of only moderate
utility; that we wish to set aside the ancient Chinese
modes to follow foreign practices ; and that it is

contrary to Chinese dignity to allow ourselves to be
instructed by European masters. Those who speak
thus show that they know little of what is passing
in the world.
" Up to the present time China has tried to be
powerful by her own resources, but it is clear now

construction of machines is the task of labourers. '
Why teach these things to literate persons? We shall
reply that in the ancient book Tcheou-li' there is a
chapter upon carpentry, which literate persons have
read with interest during many ages, and for which
they have a great esteem. Why is this? Because,
if the workman must execute the manual labour in
any construction, it is the literate person who ought
to know the natural law, the principle upon which
that construction is based. It is by this knowledge
that he may render the labour of the workman use-
ful, by directing and applying it with discernment.
It is these natural laws that we are desirous should
be known, and it is by them that the literate person
will point out to the artisan the full benefit he may
extract from any given process. Why suppose us
desirous that literate persons or people plainly edu-
cated should become workmen ? Nothing need be
studied but that which can be applied, and with the
object of applying it according to the necessities of
the age.
" Whatever further may be the interpretations
unenergetic persons may attach to this measure, by
which they are not affected, it is indispensable that
it should be carried out with full desire to put it in
execution ; and we have only proposed it to your
Majesty after mature reflection. Although we are
still but at the commencement of our enterprise, we
are aware that in order to interest literate persons
therein and engage them to study with ardour, it
will be necessary to promise them certain advan-
tages and show them the utility they will derive from
their studies by the employment those who shall dis-
tinguish themselves will obtain.
" We therefore submit to your Majesty's approval
the following code of regulations in six articles,
trusting it may meet with your high approbation.
" Lastly, we beg to suggest that as the han-lin
(academicians) of the 'three classes, possessing a
high degree of literary education and accustomed to
grave and arduous studies, are now but little em-
ployed in the administration, it would be well to
invite them to study the mathematical sciences, in
which they would make rapid progress. _ _

" We respectfully await the time when your Ma-
jesty and her 'Majesty the Empress shall deign to
acquaint us what is thought of our proposals."
The code of regulations is appended. It refers to
the terms of admission to the new college, the treat-
ment of the students, their rate of enrolment, &c.
Underneath the memorial is to be found the Em-
peror's signature, with the words
" The proceeding is approved.
" Respect this.
