THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1858.

I was forwarded to the Duke of Cambridge, who- re•
turned an answer that he bad received a similar letter
from Sir Colin Campbell. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
Colonel H. RAWLINSON asked the Chancellor of
the Exchequer if he had any objection to lay on the
table of the house copies of despatches received this
afternoon from India, from Lord Canning, on the sutj set
of the Oude proclamation' so that they might be in the
hands of hon. members before the division to-morrow
night. (Hear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
despatches referred to had oil; been received within a
few hours, and if it was possibly to lay them on the tabla
of the house as requested, it should be done.
A spirited conversation ensued relative to the produc-
tion of the despatches, hut it resulted in no change in
the Chancellor of the Exchequer's answer.

CAN fkl? BURY H:iLL.

A selec'don from Boildou's sparkling opera of
" La Dame Ranclie" was performed last night, to
the great enjoyment of a numerous audience, whose
rudAy cheeks betrayed „paTticipaticn in the
" Pythian Games" of the 'Morning and aftei noon.
It is much to the credit of this est %IJI shment that
this pleasing work should have bc-en rescued from
compara ice obscurity in England for this descrip
tion of illustration. The wor!s have been skilfully
collated and translated, and the music is artistically
arranged by Mr. Jonghtnans. Mr. Augustus
Braham, Mr. E. L. lime, and Miss Russell take
the principal eolo parts ; and the choruses, many
of which ate high!y dramatic in their character, i
are rendered with much finish by the company. We
may refer more pat tionlarly to the opening chorus of
monntain-eu, "Hark, bark, the pipes and horns are
sounding," and the. finale to the last act-. Consider-
able applause vas bestowed upon Mr. Augustus
Braham for the dashing manner in which he sang
the grand aria "Oh what delight to be a soldier,"
and the chansonette (with chorus voice accompani-
ment), the first in the opening act, and the latter
near the conclusion of the opera. Miss Russell gave
the air, "Behold yon fair and ancient mansion,"
with delicacy of expression and clearness of intona-
tion. The b-st proof of the success of this new
selection is to be found in the fact that although a
holiday audience might naturally be expected to
wish to calm the sorrows or heighten the joys arising
out of that day's "Derby," by throwing their sym-
pathies into the comic singing, the more classical per-
foimance was listened to with marked but discri-
minating applause.

Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and the younger
braech‘s of the royal family, leave Buckingham Palace
to-day for Osborne. The glean intends, according to
present arrangements, to remain in the Isle of Wight
until the 28th or 29'h inst.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her
Majesty at Thickingham Palace, in the evening.
His Excellency Mr. Buchanan, C. 8., her Majesty's

• THEATRICALS IN THE PROVINCES.—MACCLESFIELD.
—Mr. Roberts, the eminent tragedian, from America,
has been engaged f representations at the Theatre
at Macclesfield, where he played Sir Giles Overreach,
Othello, Macbeth, Richard, Hamlet, and King Lear to
crowded and enraptured audiences, in the whole of
which he was most ably seconded by Miss Leila Forester,
a young lady of very consideraf le talent, who bids fair
to become a brilliant star in the theatrical hemispkerir.
We have frequently had occasion to epak in terms of
high commendation of this young lady's acting, and bow
offer her our warm congratulations on the very great
success she has achieve.i, evident), by close and cart fel
study of the best models, without having allowed herself,
oven in tne most trifrng degree, to become a copyist.
This Miss Forester appears to have most carefully
avoided. On Monday evening she played Pauline to
Mr. Benson's Claude Melnotte, and acquitted herself
in a manner which would have been highly ct editaVe to
our London stage at i s lirighteet epoc.c. She was re-
peatedly aid enthusia,tie..Py applauded. At the termi-
nation cf the play she was vociferously called for, and or,
being led forward by Mr. Benson, was received with
long-eantinuad shouts of applause, by a crowded and
somewhat more than usually critical audienc,i.

SPORTING INT.ELLIGENOZ

EPSOM RAGES—THE DERBY DAY.
A wet Derby-day would have been a national
calamity. It would have destroyed the hopes and
expeetalions in which holiday folk had indulged
for many weeks, and it would have deprived the
English people of the fun and excitement which
usually characteris3 their racing carnival. Until
Tuesday the skiey influences had been marked by
" portents dire," and the louring clouds and fre-
quent rains produced a discouraging effect upon
persons engaged in preparations for the great
day. The booth-keepers employed themselves on
Tuesday in constructing drains to carry off the
anticipa'ed rain, and in endeavouring to render
their canvass waterproof ; and the itinerant
serenaders • and acrob tts that frequent our race- -
courses seemed "out of sorts" at the prospect of a
dreary and unprofitable Derby-day. The glass rose
on Tuesday afternoon, and with it rose the hopes
of the intending vise ..re. Young men again
allo-ved their fancy to dwell upon the light coats
and blue veils which they had sullenly laid aside
fur macintoshes and oilskins ; and the ladies expe-
rienced a relief when the probability presented itself
at they would be able to glisten in bright dresses
and gay parasols, instead of being miserably cooped
up in closed carriages.
The morning had scarcely dawned when Derby-
day people began to arrive. At first ricketty carts,
loaded with ginger beer and cooling beverages,
toiled into Epsom ; then leg-weary men, driving
trucks before them ; people with short pipes—boys
mostly—who had walked from London, came in
little parties ; but they did not loiter by the way;
but plodded towards the Down; where they
s'reched their limbs under the shelter of the stands
or in the booths. By six o'clock the sun was
shining gaily, and then the real stir and bustle of
the road gradually commenced. Light gigs came
dashing into the little town, their occupants put-
ting up for a breakfas'. After them, about eight
o'clock, a few carriages were seen on the road, and
lumbering pleasure vans, creaking and rumbling
with their heavy load of noisy, laughing, holiday
folk, made "blocks" at frequent intervals at turn-
pike-gates and round the roa 'side public-houses ;
then the long, straggling street, rapidly filled as
train after train arrived in quick succession ; and
by ten o'clock the stream of people that had set in
towards Epsom since daylight had swollen to its
usual dimension-, breaking and running off in dif-
ferent chaunels when it reached the towu to spread
over the length and breadth of the Downs. All
uneasiness and forebodings as to the weather were
not entirely dispelled throughout the morning, and
appeals to the weather-wise and other-wise were
frequently made as' sombre clew's ever and anon
gathered and drifted over the bright blue sky.
The sun, however, after being temporarily
obscured, would C• 1313 out and scatter them,
lighting up the landscape mere gaily after the'
intervals of gloom, and causing the spirits of
the expectant pleasure folk to rise h;glier, and
their enjoyment to be deepened after the &Tres-
sion cclasioned by the prospect of unpropitious
weather. A large majority of the p:ople had, like
Mark Tapley, determined to be jolly under any
circumstance, and even regarded a drenching rain
as "jolly fun," and as a principal element in their
Derby-day's eejeyment. An Englishman's notion
of "rum things" is certainly peculiar, for at about
11 o'cl ,ck dark laden-hue i clouds loured omi-
rously, and at last a soaking main ft 11, and teeny
people seemed to revel in the "rum id a" of hud-
dling together under every availatde shelter. Dur-
ing the shower the stoppage on the read was almost
general ; the inns along the road were filled in an i
instate', and the Felting rain cleared tlet street of
Epson so instant,neeusly, that exc,,-pt for the mass
of I,cople that w, re seen in the shods and Note's,
ene wigs t aiwost have fancied that the Derby-day
was fEr distant. The rain, however, soon teased,
and oat came tin visi tem again, and the s'rect was
more cro :Med than ever.

The landse--,p brightened as th 3 time appro-e.ied
for tho c ;Immoneeennt of the siyi)it, and t. n'y
few bright fleecy clouds, driving briskly before a
sharp winci, occasionally sent a shado iv over the
aiwns. Perhaps the bill was not so crowded as
!sat year, and perhaps the throng was not so great,
but supposition only can be indulged in with re-
spect tt th se matterg, as every one seems to think
ihat "this DA by is not like the last," much in the
same way that old ladies and gentlemen believe
that " Are not as they were when they were
young." - Mr. Ruskin has expressed his opinion
that it is desirable and proper that this English
carnival shf.:uld be pltintei ; but even he would
have been compelled to acknowledge that Mr.
Frith's. elaborate pie ure of the Darby-6,y fAils to
show the roaring excitement which prevailed, al-
though tilers were no "gaming table," and that
the inneceut little girl who had been to the Derby,
and was so happy, Las abous as accurate an idea
of the real fun and unrestrain d merriment a 3 a
person whoa eXperieuces are limited to an ExLiter-
hall meeting or an Ebenezer tea party.
Not even that Derby-d,y charexterfslic—chuds
of dust—was wanting, for the returning visitors
found the roads almost as dusty al they could have
been after a lengthened drough`.
The most inveterate speculator allowed the first
race to be run off without directing much attention
to it, whilst those persons merely on pleasure heat
occupied themselves in drawing Derby "sweeps,"
and betting gloves with the fair sharers of their •
conveyances ; and a vast amount of speculation
took place on the " olds" againstth9 " evens" for
each race. _ _ _

The business of the weighing department was
speedily arrano•:.d, and the j. ckeys' names and
numbers were °displayed on the telegraph board
without delay. Of the 24 animals on the card only
otic—Boeany—was withdrawn, and this fact at-
tested the care with which Mr. Doling compiled
his list of starters. On Tuesday the advance of
Toxopholite and the rise of East Langton we:e the
principal movements in the market. Just before
the race two more important changes were made
—a perfect "rage" was evinced for Eclipse, about
whom as little as 6 to 1 was at one time taken, and
the "dark" Ethopian was brought to 10 to 1,
taken freely. Lord Derby's horse, Toxopholite,
maintained his position in the betting to the close.
PeoPle seemed puzzled to account for the retro-
gression of Fitz Roland, who, however, we under-
.stand, was boaten easily in a recent trial by
Beadsman. The result cif the race attested the
truth of this report. Wells had the option of
riding which of Sir Joseph Hawley's he released,
and he chose Beadsman !

The start was admirably effected. The horses
were marched into the hollow just outside the
paddock; they fell into a clutter immediately, and
Mr. Ribber.' dropped his flag even before the
spectators generally knew they were at the post.
We have little to add to the elaborate deacriptinin
of the ra-e given in the usual place. The defeat
of Toxopholite sorely disappointedpis noble ()weer,
Lord Derby, whn was present. Beadsman ran a
good stout hors,', and it is not a little creditable
to a private trainer and a young beginner like
George Manning that he should be enabled to
send a horse to the post sufficiently well and suffi-
ciently prepared to win so important a race. Sir
Joseph Hav ley has this season renewed his Ban,
Aphrodite, rind Teddington triumphs, for with
%admiral' at Newmarket, in the Craven Meeting,
he won a stake worth about 6001., and with him he
won half the Newmarket Stakes. His crowning
success, however, was to secure the Tco Thousand
Guineas' Stake with Fifzßolaud, and the Derby
with Beadsman.

The races decided after the Derby were unim-
portant, and the spectators gave themselves up to
pigeon pies and champagne. The usual scene was
witnessed on the road, and at the railways : omni-
buses " chaffed" "four-in-Lands," and pleasure
vans "chuffed" omnibuses ; and not until past
midnight did the last note from the last posthorn
on the road cease to disturb the geese and retired
"tits" in the vicinity of Ciapharnicommon.
The police arrangements were, as usual, most
efficiently carried out. Superintendents Walker
and Hughes, of the A division, had a well-disci-
plined body of men, numbering about 200, under
their command ; and the reglarily with which
they cleared the course elicited well-deserved ad-
miraton. Inspector Whicher, of tlys: detective
f roe, did duty in the Grand Stand enclosure, and
his presence was quite sufficient to check the ope-
_

rati,,n9 of the chevaliers d'industrie.
The management of the traffic at the most
crowded parts of the road was entrusted to a d•
tachment of 100 men of the A and P divison3 of
Folice, under the superintendence a Inspector
razer; and by divcrting the stream of vehicles
into lints, all possibility- of confusion and datigtr

was entirely obviated.
Thera was an extraordinary Lumber of excursion
vans upon the roads; and the effect produced by
their fresh paint and fkunting hangings, a 3 they
toiled up the pleasant lanes, was remarkably

. ,
Mr. Dorling, the clerk of the course, has cause
oratulation in the success which marked the
prod e
diner;. Acting on the pi inc4ile that " trifles
make perfection, and perfecti...n is no trifle," he
I.,ers :natty directed the managements of affairs, and
superintended the most seemingly insignificant
matter which could promote the efficiency of the
eneral arran2emouts.

THE RACE.
Ditto and Physician were the first to make their
appearance on the course, and they walked up it as
the other c-Topetitors approached the Grand Stand
hoin the paddock. The preliminary canters were
quickly over, arid the horses proceeded to the post
in a body, and had no sooner quitted the paddock
than the spectators were startled with a shout of
"They're off," se sudden and unexpected was the
start. The I,t got away in a cluster, and a hum
of satisfaction was occasioned by the tact with
which Mr. liihburd l:ad dropped his flag, and re-
lieved the spectators from all suspense. Eclipse
was the first to show in advance, but immediately
the horses had " got on their legs" Physician
rushed to the front, Eclipse keeping company with
him for a short distance, when he dropped back,
and Fitzßoland went in second with Ditto, Eclipse,
Beadsman, Jordan, Harry Stanley, and the Cymba
colt in a cluster next ; and as nearly as we could
make out, in the order named, East Langton and
Pelissier showing in the middle of the ruck,
Carmel toiling on several lengths in the rear.
At the top of. the hill Eclipse ran into the
second place, Jordan, Ancient Briton, and
Toxopholite all lying well up behind him.
and King of Sardiuia joining Carmel at the extreme
and of the " t dl." At the mile-post Fitz Roland
repassed Eclipse, who kept on third, Ditto and
Beadsman showing well up in their wake, with
Toxopholite just behind them. On ascending the
hill at Tattenham Coiner, Fitz Roland headed
Physician, who soon afterwards gave way, Toxo-
pholite taking second place, with Eclipse, Ditto,
Happy Land, Beadsmau, The Hadji, 'Kelpie,LEast
Langton, Longrange, and Ethiopian, next in pur-
suit. Juet before reaching the road, Ditto disap-
peared from the front and Beadsman took his place.
They ran thus to the distance, where Fitz Roland
was beaten, Eclipse being left with a slight lead,
Toxopholite lying second, Beadsman third, and
The Hadji next. About half way up Eclipse de-
clined, and Beadsman took close order with Toxo-
pholite, quitted him opposite the Grand Stand, and
won easily by a length, Lord Derby's colt beating
The Hadji by two lengths for second place. Four
lengths off Eclipse was fourth; East Langton was
a bad fifth, and Fi z Roland sixth. The next lot
comprised Ethiopian, Dumfries, Ditto, and Long-
range. The last four beaten (ff were Jordan,
Happy Land, Deceiver, and Brother to Bird on
the Wing ; Lord Glasgow's Cult was absolutely
last. - -

On returning -to scale, a little sensation was
created by the inability of Wells to draw his
weight, and it was ngt till after Beadsman's bridle
was brought in that lie was declared "all right."
