SPORTING NOTES.

There are four meetings this week, viz., New-
castle, Worcester, Ipswich, and Chelmsford. T.
Dawson will be especially busy and worth following
in many instances, his Belmont having Honesty or
Honestish, Sundeelah, and Moldavia pretty safe for
the Queen's Plate on Tuesday, and as War will pro-
bably be kept for the great event there is only
Romping Girl to beat him. A better one than
Minster at the weights should win the Members'
Plate, unless Frost is in season•; and they have a
good-looking colt for the second Biennial in Donal-
bain. Fobert must be handy for the Town Plate,
with:Armlet, and he has already a hot favourite for the
Northumberland Plate on Wednesday in the win-
ner of the Grand Prix, who ought certainly to fol-
law in the footsteps of his father, for Underhand
never had such an easy task set him when he won
as Fervacques appeals to have now. There are only
the Vixen colt, Newland, Mandrake, or Harro-
gate, and Fairwind, of the three year olds, threat-
ening to oppose him at this writing, and all but
the last-named have to give him weight, whilst of
the elder horses, Retrousse, War, Lady Vane,
Archimedes, Hawks well, and Mirella comprise the
probable runners. Lady Vane, Fitzroy, Mandrake,
and Harrogate all belong to Mr. J. Johnstone, who
will probably be content with running one, which at
this writing looks like being Lady Vane. Her lady-
ship was of a fair class last year, but is meeting
Fervacques with no pull at the weights, nor War
either for that matter. War, a good horse when
fit and well, has a good chance for the Bowes black
to bowl over Fervacques, one of the best things
Fobert ever had for a Northumberland Plate; but
if Lord Stamford means business with Archimedes,
who has never been in the betting, he is certain to win
this much-coveted prize. Stella is in the Tyro
Stakes to oppose whatever the first day's running
may bring forth ; and should Romping Girl win the
Queen's Plate even cleverly, she is not bound
to win the First Biennial, having to give
Knight Errant and the Priest plenty of weight.
Tuesday's results, however, may tell us that
Shibboleth in the Freemen's Nursery is good
to follow; and it will previously be determined
whether Fervacques, Newland, or Honestish can
win the North Derby. A light will also be thrown
on the Newcastle and Stewards' Cup Handicaps,
and the Seaton Delaval Stokes, for which latter
prizes, nevertheless, the southern stables might send
Ironmaster and Lady Highthorn, and if so they will
both—the former especially—take great parts in
the battle, whatever the Tyro and Biennial may
bring forth. Those wishing to speculate on the
Worcester, Ipswich, and Chelmsford Races bad
better wait till the day of each race, and then follow
the various commissions that are thrown into the
market. A FRESH MAN.

MAXIMILIAN AND YHE UNITED STATES.

The following is M. Dupin's speech in the French
Senate with reference to the fate of Maximilian :
" Messieurs les Senateurs,—The minutes just
read contained the eloquent words which, in the last
sitting, were pronounced by our illustrious President
to express the indignation of the Senate against the
odious crime by which the lives of two Emperors were
threatened. The sentiments expressed by our illis-
trious President were those of the whole of France,
which had reproduced them with admirable unani-
mity. To complete the expression of the noblest
thoughtslet me be permitted to make known another
heartfelt wish in favour of a third Emperor, brave in
battle, and above all great in misfortune. It will
be worthy of a French Chamber, and especially
the Senate, that wishes full of generosity should
be expressed for the Prince whom the Mexicans, after
our victories, freely chose for their Sovereign, and
whose life is threatened with an insolent disregard
of the laws of war. And here we find two facts which
are a great honour to our soldiers who carried our
eagles to Mexico. Everywhere in that country
they showed their heroism, and in each success
practised clemency after the . victory—double
character of France. Alas! in returning to their
mother country, it wculd seem as if they had
brought back with them all those noble traits of
civilisation, and that not a trace of them remained
in the ungrateful country which they have quitted.
It is necessary at least that in one of the Chambers
of the numerous representative governments of the
old world a word should be raised to prevent, if
there is still time, a great crime from being com-
mitted by barbarians. Such a crime would be ever-
g it,te n andt
e h
sntrienngv esr h, ahmy ea t
soa
dt h committed
honour of our arms. The United States, I hope,.
contrast, would heighten
will do all they can to prevent so great a misfor-
tune, for it is upon America that the responsibility
will - fall. Such, Messieurs les Senateurs, are the
sentiments which I do not fear to express, and
believe I may say that they are shared by
thl
whole of France, and above all by those generals
who, on the field of battle, have shown the same
valour, and after the victory the most generous
humanity." (Approbation.)
On this the ,standard's correspondent remarks as
follows :
" Two passages in M. Dupin's speech will chal-
lenge general attention. That in which he casts
the responsibility of the execution of Maximilian on
the United States, and that in which he asserts that
the murder of a prisoner in cold blood would, as a
contrast, redound to the honour of French arms.
Now the United States are undoubtedly responsible

so far that, but for their threatening attitude, the

ea rdws
misinformed. The Mexicans are
utter savages, but
they can plead with truth that their
comrades have
been executed in cold blood. I know this
fora fact
--not, mind you, an isolated instance. This but-
chery occurred repeatedly, and was officially
sanc-
tioned by an order issued under the authority of
Marshal Bazaine before his departure. As to the
direct responsibility of the fate of Maximilian,
whether it devolves on the French who left him in
the lurch, or on the Yankees whose threats com-
pelled the French to leave, this is a nice question,
which I leave casuists to decide."
It was but the other day that a Mexican officer
residing in New York--General Sturm—made a
speech denouncing Secretary Seward for doing all
in his power to aid the Imperialists while
pretend-
ing to aid the Liberals. The. United States have
only carried out their well-known •
policy
in inter-
fering between France and Mexico and leaving the
event to be decided by the people concerned. They
are in no way responsible for the
murderous deeds
on either side, which have been
nowhere more
strongly condemned than in
the United States.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 21.—Fund Pasha has
promised that the collective note of France, Prussia,
Russia, and Italy, for the suspension of hostilities
in the Island of Candia,
shall be submitted to the
Council of 111inisters, and replied to if necessary.
The Grand Duke Alexis of Russia has arrived here.
tREDISTRIBUTION.—We hear that Government,
after reconsideration of the matter will propose that a third
member shall be given to three of the six boroughs iu -
eluded in Mr. Laing's unsuccessful amendment. TLe
three selected are Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham,
each of which has a population of over 300,000, while
Leeds, Sheffield, and Bristol, with populations varying
from 150,000 to 200,000, ''ill still return two members only
