Admission, ie. Catilo;,rne, ed.

" The humble petition of the undersigned,
showeth,—That your petitioners fulfil the conditions
of property or rental prescribed by law as the qua-
lification of the electoral franchise, and exercise in
their own names the right pertaining to such con-
ditions. That the principles on which the govern-
ment of the United Kingdom is based imply the re-
presentation of all classes and interests in the State.
That the reasons alleged for withholding the exer-
cise 'Of the franchise from certain classes of her
Majesty's subjects do not apply to your petitioners.
Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your
honourable House to grant to such persons as fulfil
all the conditions which entitle to a vote in the
election of members of Parliament, excepting only
that of sex, the privilege of taking part in the choice
of fit persons to represent the people in your honour-
able House. And your petitioners will ever pray,

"The humble petition of the undersigned showeth,
the exclusion of freeholders, householders, and rate-
payers legally qualified in every respect but that of
sex from the power of, voting in the, election of mem-
bers of your honourable house, by depriving a con-::
siderable portion of the property, the industry, and
the intelligence of the country of all direct repre-
sentation, is injurious both to the persons excluded
and to the community at large. That women are
competent both by law and in fact to carry on a
business, to administer an estate, and to fill other
positions which, both by investing them with in-
terests requiring political representation and by
affording tests of fitness, are usually considered to
give a claim to the suffrage. That the admission of
such persons to the privilege of the franchise would
be a measure in harmony with the principles of our
representative system, while its beneficial effects
would not be attended by any possibility of dan-
gerous political consequences. Your petitioners,
therefore, humbly pray that any act for the Reform -
of Parliament hereafter to be passed may contain
provisions for granting the suffrage to women on
the same conditions of property, rating, rental, or
any other qualifications not dependent on such, value
on which it is or may be granted to men. And your
petitioners will ever pray.

The Eastern Question.

The Journal de St. Petersburgh, of the 23d March
(April 4), publishes the following :
" A telegram from Constantinople, dated yester-
day, announces. that the Sublime Porte has not
accepted the advice to cede the Isle of Candia to
Greece. Below will be found, under the head of
Great Britain, the passage of the speech delivered
by Lord Derby last Thursday in the House of
Lords, in which he explained the motives which have
prevented the Queen's Government from giving, at
Constantinople, like the other powers, the advice
that it would be desirable that this cession should
take place. Lord Derby, moreover, declared that
if the Sultan voluntary consented to this annexation.
England would not have any objection to make.
The Christians of Candia will c Itainly be touched
by this condescension, but the Sublime Porte will
not be leiis so by the solicitude evinced by the
Foreign Office for the absolute independence of its
authority and the pre-occupation of Lord Derby
for the condition in which the Mussulman minority
would be placed iu Crete if the governing power
should be Christian. There arc countries in which
the title of honorary citizen is conferred by the
people on those to whom they wish to show their
gratitude ; this is not, that we know of, the custom
in Turkey, but perhaps it might not there be con-
sidered a dangerous reform, or one requiring much
time to carry out, to confer the dignity of honorary
Mussulman, and iu that case the candidature of the
Engli6h statesman would be a matter of course, and
his success could not fail to be triumphant.
" But we must speak seriously on grave matters.
We ask ourselves by reason of what strange illusion
advice given to Turkey can be construed into an
attack upon her rights ; how there can be anything
contrary to the well-understood interests of the
Ottoman Empire in a step which has for its object
to prevent the continuance of sanguinary catas-
trophes, to worthily repair the past, and to prevent
a domination already so much shaken and so odious
from breaking down under an effort which would
scatter the debris far beyond the coasts of the in-
surgent isle ?
" There are three points too much lost sight
in London—first, that the Christians have risen in
consequence of a long and intolerable oppression ;
secondly, that they have been cradled in hopes which
have ail turned out mere deceptions ; lastly, that
they form a majority which the governing minority
keep under a heavy yoke because they dread its
emancipation, and because the prejudices of fana-
ticism add to this fear.

14 The British Cabinet says it is not convinced
that the proposed annexation would be definitively
favourable to the prosperity, the satisfaction, or the
well-being of the Cretan population. Would it be
more favourable to those interests of which it shows
uneasy, notwithstanding the ex-
itself so generously
pressed wishes of the population ; would it be more
favourable if there remained but the Mussulmans
with the women and c'iildren after all the rest had
fallen under the blows of the Turks ?

" England, according to Lord Derby, wishes to
treat Turkey as a friend. Is she quite certain that
the rigorously-reserved attitude which she main-
tains. is dictated by an intelligent and provident
friendship—by that friendship which knows how to
tell the truth at the risk of displeasing, which is the
only friendship worthy of the name ; and not by a
friendship which, putting carefully aside its respon-
sibility, spares its egotism the trouble of all advice,
holds itself apart in evil days while professing a
sympathy that remains sterile, and -confines itself to
reserving for the morrow of accidents or misfor-
tunes its sincere condolence.
" 'What the friendship of England is most par-
ticularly careful of is, not to oppose Turkey in any-
thing. This will certainly please Turkey for the
moment; but, since the Orientals are fond of apolo-
gues, may we be allowed to transport them for a
moment under the torrid sky of the equatorial re-
gions ? A planter--we are in a country in which
slavery still exists—walks across his domains in
company with his friend, who is the English consul,
a man of influence, whom he likes to consult, and
regards as a .model, and of whom he respectfully
envies the high position, the knowledge, and the
capacity. The planter walks about smoking with non-
chalance. He beats his negroes according to custom,
and ill-treats them in every way. His friend smiles
whilst asking himself, in pato, if the planter is not.
a little too sharp. Meanwhile, as the brutal fanta-
sies of this capricious proprietor have been long con-
tinued, his negroes at length revolt. The planter
calls the police. The friend retires into a pavilion
close by and looks on. The struggle continues and
the planter falls. The friend retires, recommend-
ing his people to bury him decently, and sheds a tear
to the memory of one whose individual liberty he
would not cross even by advice.
" What will be thought at Constantinople of this
friend? Will it not be considered that the indivi-
dual liberty of the planter was too much respected,
and that wise counsel given in time would not have
done him any great harm, and perhaps might have
pointed out to him the means of still exercising for
a long time his free will if this prudent advice had

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
WEDNESDA Y.

As the morning was fair and calm it. was thonght that
the sport on the third day of the meeting would be of a
more enjoyable character than that seen on Monday anal
Tuesday, and for some two hours after noon matters w
very favourable on the heath. After this, however. the
wind began to blow, and before the close there were some
smart showers. The list for the day was rather • teagre,
and the company mainly composed of professional betters,
the bookmaking portion of whom had again the best of the
speculative movements. To cornmehce with, Eau do Vie,
the non-favourite at 2 to 1, succeeded in giving Roll Call
151 b over the last half-mile of the Beacon Course, and the
Brocklesby running at Lincoln was thus borne out; but
Veda, who was backed against the field for the succeeding
taco, began badly, and could never get upon terms with
Lictor and Bouquetiere, the prize going to the first-named,
said to be as good as Litnner, though, as he was behind
Paris at Epsom, he did not appear like it on public form:
Doubtless his victory had something to do with the fa.
vourP,isna accorded to Paris for the T.Y.C. Sweepstakes,
for which he stood no chance with Confederate and Court
Card, nor could Problem or Celliva bowl over Hippia for
the following race, though Mr. Chaplin's filly made a fair
fight. Some interest was excited by the appearance of
Cellina, who came out for the first time since she ran Her-
mit to a neck last year. After that performance, it will
perhaps be remembered, she got " cast" in her stable, and
received some severe injuries, no traces of which, however,
were apparent to-day, although she looked big and un-
trained. The "roaring" Pericles gave a further taste of
his quality by running away with the Subscription Plate,
and then a close finish was witnessed between Wild
Agnes and the Annie Laurie colt for the Subscription
Plato, the young one winning, as he ought to have done,
considering that he had four stone the best of the
weights. The last contest was for the Column Stakes,
which brought out a couple of brutes, of whom this filly
by Wild Dayrell, out of Emily, proved the best. During
the day there were again some important movements in
connection with the Two Thousand and Derby, and before
a move was made to the course there was a strong demon-
stration in favour of Tho Hermit for the Rowley Mile
race, 7 to 1 being taken right out, while Knight of the
Garter was friendless at 1,000 to 30. Later on Mr. Chap-
lin's colt fluctuated between 6 to 1 and 8 to 1, and the
other operations on the race were noticeable for the dispo-
sition evinced to back Julius and Plaudit (900 to 200 was
taken three times about the Duke's horse), and to bring
Marksman to something like a price-8 to 1 was taken and
offered about the latter, and after 1,000 to 60 had been taken
about Trocadoro, 1,800 to 100 was offered against the
French colt, but by one of the " foxes" connected with the
stable. The Rake was very firm for the Derby, and there
we
isireoaffrgerusis of HastingstotakeloO offered to bet i3O
to7oagst Plaudit, about
to 8
abonto threewhothe
times. D'Estournel was kbacled by Mr. Savile at 30 to 1
late in the afternoon, after refusing those odds in the morn-
ing. Subjoined is a return of the running :

agst Lictor, 100 to 8 each agst Churchill, Bougnetiere,
Demonstration, and the Beckenham's dam filly, and 100

and Bougetiere on the upper ground, Morning Star in the
centre, and the Newcastle colt on the lower ground,
jumped off in front and maintained the command to the
foot of the hill, when the latter gave way, and Veda, who
began badly, joined the others, and passed Morning Star
in the cords. Hera Lictor held a clear lead, which he
maintained to the finish, the flat being a length in his
favour, while the favourite was half a length behind Bon-
quetiere ; Bond was fourth, Purveyor fifth, and Morning
Star nest; and Harebell, who was outpaced from the com-
mencement, a long way in the rear.

a short distance, and then gave way to Court Card, Con-
federate, and Lytham, who laid wide of each other. In the
cords the latter succumbed, and Court Card took a slight
lead, but she was caught by the favourite in the last three
strides, and beaten a neck, Lytham being two lengths off.
The Topsail colt was fourth, Paris fifth, the Helen Began
filly sixth, and Zisca last.
