LIVERPOOL.

• ---- -
The many changes which have been recently
made in the betting on the Liverpool Cup have
imparted an additional interest to the meeting,
whilst the alleged condition of the ground has
heightened the expectations of large fields. Metro-
politan tuifites are already en route to the town,
and by the five o'clock express the last detachment
of sportsmen will leave London. The preparations
for conducting the business have been carried out
with Mr. Topham's usual zeal and activity, and
I trust that the meeting will be sufficiently
successful to recompense him for the great pecu-
niary loss which he suffered by his spring venture.
A more attractive list of sport could not be desired,
and the races are likely to excite an enduring inte-
rest. Up to my present writing few horses have
arrived, but the demand for staling accommoda-
tion is on the increase.
The Bath Stakes, a new item in the programme,
has obtained fifteen nominations, Broadlands and
New Brighton being the most noteworthy names
amongst them.
For the Bentinck Testimonial the Physalis colt
and Botany are favourably weighted, and to them
I shall leave the issue of the race.
Should Merryman be sent for the Mersey Stakes
his success may be regarded as a certainty. Were
he out of the race I should place my confidence
Zitella. Sunbeam and the light weight Knock-
burn are my fancies for the Knowsley Handicap,
and Rara Avis may make a successful flight for the
Nursery.
Upwards of a dozsn starters will be drawn up
for the Liverpool Cup. The introduction of King
of the Gipsies into the market has given a new
turn tospeculation, and the support conceded to the
Beeswax colt has caused the retrogression of seve-
ral of the old favourites. Physician has been some-
what unhealthy in the market. It is stated,
however, that his patients are rallying, and
as Bullock has been engaged to ride him, I shall
still look upon his pretensions with favour. King
of the Gipsies has been most satisfactorily tried,
and his party are very "fond." His majesty,
however, shall not claim my allegiance. The
Tattler is much fancied, mainly owing to his race
with Borderer at the Curragh, and the Irish party
aro confident in his ability to bear the cup to the
Emerald Isle. For the Beeswax colt I have no
fancy, and I believe him to be a "duffer." Little
Tom will tun well, and his light weight will enable
him to stay. Jordan can have no chance with Phy-
sician. The only other three-yr-old that attracts
my attention is Tunstall Maid, who ought to take a
deal of beating. Whether she, be intended or not
I am unable to say, and must therefore discard her
and select

CIIERBOURG.

The Moniteur de let Flotte gives the following
details respecting Cherbourg, which may be hits-
resting at this moment :
" Cnerbourg is the result of the Tong-continued rivalry
between the two nations. Alter our disasters of La
Hogue, Tourville impressed upon the great King that
it was of urgent importacce fir France to possess a naval
port in the Channel. This riecessley having been ad-
mitted, Vauban was comeniselofied to indicate that point
of the coast where it was most desirable to found a naval
establishment. He selected the spot now occupied by
Cherbourg. They went to work, but slowly, and until
the reign of Louis XVI. nothing, strietly speaking. bad
been done, when France, entering on' e more into a
struggle with England on the occasion of the emancipa-
tion of America, again felt the utility of creating the
pole demanded by Teurville. The gigantic project of
Vauban was resumed. Tue revolutionary storm pre-
vented its realisation. It slumbered—if one may say
so—till the imperative necessity of the policy of the First
Napoleon caused its revival to he decreed, always with
a view, it is hardly necessary to remark, to offensive
and defensive hostilities in case of a war with our neigh-
bours. Such is the history of the port and arsenal of
Cherbourg. Now, is it not wonderful that, at the mn-
ment when the finishing touch is about to be Oven to
this formidable establishment, the reciprocal sentiments
of England and Franco are so changed that in an
arsenal which in some soot typified the ancient spirit of
mutual distrust the two sovereigns meet to extend the
hand once more to each other in sign of concord and
peace? Certainly, pretexts would cot be wanting to the
English people, it they entertained a less high end leas
clear notion cf the interests of the epoch—pretexts, we
say, would not be wanting to the English people to be
uneasy, both at the ground and the form of the visit of
Napoleon 111. to Chei bourg under existinoscircumstancee.
Ie fact, the Emperor is not going to visit this or that
town, some one or other of the naval ports of the empire
indifferently ; he is going to Cherbourg, our advanced
post, pre-eminently, on the Channel coast. Nor is the
Emperor going to Cherbourg for an ordinary ceremony ;
he goes there, in the first place, and specially, for the inau-
guration of that magnificent inland dock which crowns our
works in that town, built, turned, and ready for war.
What would have taken place if the work commenced
by Louis XIV. bad been completed during his long reign,
or during that of Louis XVI., or that of Napoleon I. ?
Do you think that the ideas then in the ascendant on
both sides of the Channel would have permitted Louis
XIV. or Louis XVI. or Napoleon I. to invite the reign-
ing Sovereign of England to come in person, on the day
of inauguration, to witness, in the midst of Cherbourg,
adorned, brilliant, re-echoing our national fetes, our
public rejoicing, the most glorious of the triumphs
of our maritime genius? Surely such an invitation
would never have been sent, still less would it
have been well received. Opinions, then, have
changed with the times, If, on the one hand,
England feels herself, with just pride, sufficiently
strong not to fear the increase of our means of attack and
defence ; on the other, she bad acquired by experience
too high an estimate of our character—she has under-
stood in a manner too conclusive the advantages of our
alliance—she knows too well the sincerity of the senti-
ments and of the words of our Emperor—to suffer a
maritime and military jell; merely because it puts in
evidence and sanctions the progress of our strength, to
awaken the susceptibilities of the English Sovereign and
people. This is the reason, no doubt, why the Emperor
Napoleon 111., whose tact in such matters is so delicate,
has not hesitated to invite Queen Victoria to add, by
her presence, an additional charm and prestige to the
rejoicings at Cherbourg; this is the reason that, with
an equally exquisite tact, her Britannic Majesty
has accepted with cordiality the invitation of the
Emperor. Both Sovereigns have felt that, by a
compliment agreeable to the two. nations the most
nearly interested, they would give to the whole
world, a salutary example, and a new pledge
of a good understanding—that is, of universal prosperity.
If we enter into details of the ceremonies in preparation
at Cherbourg the demonstration of all that we have ad-
vanced wilt be by that means made more evident. We
have already said that the great fact, that which is the
principal cause of the journey of the Emperor, is the
inauguration of the magnificent harbour, which to the
completion of all the works previou ly executed. It is
400 metres in length, 200 metres in width; the height of
the quay is 18 metres, and the depth of water 9 metros.
it has been hollowed out, not merely of the rock, but of the
g •
raoite itself, by a mining system not tried heretofore,
or, at least, of which the prodigious results had not been
as yet tested. Never had the resolute will to conquer
nature attempted so much, or succeeded so well. On the
stocks of this basin the steamship Ville de Nantes has
been built. Is it not evident that the launch of this
fine vessel, in presence of their Majesties, will add an
additional feature to the special character of the journey
to Cherb turg ? S?ase days previously the railway will
be opened for public accommodation. What addition of
strength does not Cherbourg derive from this railway,
be who conceived, or revised, the final plans ace
which is to connect its port with all the resources of the
which it has inen built, was, as every one
Empire? The tree. author cf Cherbourg, such as it

must not pasa over in eilence is, that the Empe-

fixed for his arrival at Cherbourg, in order to be able to

two greatest maritime nations of the world, each in
command of imposing forces in friendly waters, will
give to astonished Europe the spectacle of their mutual
friendship in a locality where so often, in a past still
near our own times., proofs of rivalry between the two
nations base been manifested—a rivalry glorious iu
more than one respect both for our neighbours and for
ourselves, but, on the whole, unfortunate for them, for
us, for the rill That is a great spectale which re-
calls to the mind the noble words pronounced at Bor-
deaux by the chief of the State in October, 1852,—
The Empire is peace. Peace, since France wishes,:t ;
and, when France is satisfied, the worid is tranquil.

lordships sent down a bill by which Jews were to take
part in the legislation of the country—(hear, hear)—not
only in that house, bat in their lordships' house, if the
majority in either house thought fit to allow them to
take their seats in the respective houses. He con-
sidered they ought not to entertain their lo:dships'
reasons for disagreeing to the first bill, but enter
on the journals of this house something in reference to
that bill, without answering the reasons of the House cf
Lords-3uch as that this house took no notice of them,
as their lordships had passed a bill carrying into effect
the objects of the bill, which rendered it unnecessary
for this house to consider them. (Efear, hear.) Ile
called upon the house to consecrate on a future day
the principle that religious differences did not lead to
civil disqualification. To obtain an answer to his ques-
tion, he moved the adjournment of the house.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would make arrangements for the discussion on the bill
(Lord Lucan's) to be taken on Friday night. (Hear.)
After some remarks from Lord J. MAN/lints and Lord
J. RUSSELL in explanation,

The motion was withdrawn.
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY IN THE GULF

O F BOTHNIA.

In reply to an appeal from Sir J. PAKINaTON,
Mr. CRAWFORD postponed his motion relative to
the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire into
the complaints made by certain of her Majesty's sub-
jects of the destruction of their property by her Ma-
jesty's forces at Uleaborgand the Gulf of Bothnia:during
the late war.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would name an early day for its discussion.
SUPPLY—NATIONAL GALLERY.
On the motion that the report of the committee cf
supply be agreed to,
Lord ELCEIO called attention to the report of the
commission on site of National Gallery. He suggested
that a room was required for the national collection of
paintings, the Royal Academy who occupied one-halt
of the building should have notice to quit. That would
give the space required for the national collection. The
Royal Academy had no right to the space they occu-
pied, acid it was the duty of her Majesty's Government
to resume possession of that portion of the building.
That won'al save an out'ay of money for a new building.
Mr. CONING HAM referred to the nature and con-
stitution of the Royal Academy. It was a private
society enjoying the privileges of a public body, and it
occupied, to the injary of the public, a portion of a
public building, intended for public purposes. It en-
joyed privileges exceedingly injurious to the arts, and,
being a voluntary society, it was irresponsibte to any
party in the State. Ile condemned the mode of instruc-
tion pursued by the Royal Society.
After some remarks from Mr. LOCKE KING,
The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said
s euething must be done to provide adequat s accommo-
dation f;r our national collection and its enlargement.
At present they were deprived of receiving legacies from
the want of room. There was no necessity tor further
inquiry, and so far as the National Gallery was con-
cerned, her Majesty's Government at the proper time
would submit a measure for affording the necessary
amount of accommodation. Her Majesty's Government
accepted, however, the responsibility of providing ac-
commodation for works of act generally.
Mr. SEYMOUR regretted the Chaucellor of the Ex-
chequer had not stated it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to get lid of the Royal Academy
Irons the National Gallery.
After some remarks from Mr. J. EWLET and Mr. J.
A. SMITFI,
Lord ELCHO moved the reduction of the amount for
the National Gentry by 3001., the areouat of the travel-
ling agents' salary. It was an appointment not !I:con:-
mended by the Cortimit..,ee of 183. Lie was nut required,
and his travelling about Italy enhanced the sums the
country had to pay for pictures.
