THE FRENCH DERBY.

Galignani's Messenger has a full.account of the
running of the French " Darby" at Chantilly on
Sunday. The stands were thronged, chiefly by
ladies. The reserved space,in front of them was
crowded ; there was an extraordinarily numerous
assemblage of rdembers of the Jockey Club and of
sporting men—probably the largest ever seen on any
similar occasion ; even the tops of the stands were
occupied to inconvenience, while outside the ropes
a great crowd of the humbler class of Parisians, of
the people of Chantilly, and of the peasantry of the
adjacent villages were collected. Many ladies of high
rank graced the stands wit h theirpreseuce, audatnong
them was the Countess de Morny. The Count de
Morny was also present, as was likewise the Pre-
fect of the Oise, the latter in grand uniform. This
year there was no regular favourite for the Derby,
some sporting men thinking that Gouvieux had the
best chance, others pronouncing for Brocoli, others
for Tonnnerre des Irides, others for Martel en Tete,'
or Cagliostro, while others placed faith in Count
de Lagrange's lot. It is one of the latter, Ventre-
Saint Gris by name, colt .by Gladiator and Belle
de Nuit, who has had the glory of being the
winner. The horse occupied no very distinguished
place in the betting. In truth he was, so to speak,
totally unknown, foy ho never before, ran
any 'rade. It was besides reported that he was not,
in good conditioß, or had broken down. It was,
lalwever, no secret that his owner and some other
gentleman thought well of him, and that some
knowing people "guessed" that he was destined to
astonish the betting fraternity. When he was
saddled the greatest curiosity was manifested to
see him, and he was pronounced a fine animal, int
without some resemblance to the famous Mo pat quo.
At the_ momenta starting, accordingly, his posi-
tion in the betting remained unchanged, while that
of Gouvieux improved ; in fact, he became first
favourite. The field consisted of no fewer than 24
hones, and was, if we mistake not, the largest ever
seen in France. To start this large number of
horses was extremely difficult, not fewer than 10
unsuccessful attempts having be made ; and the
11th, which succeeded, was by no means a good
one. The race was rim at a very good pace in-
deed, and Ventre Saint Gris won easily. Not
only was no one of the horses who stood first in
the betting the winner, but no one had even the
honour of being " placed." The precise amount
in stakes, entries, and forfeits which Count
de Lagrange receives by the success of his
horse is, after deducting the entry paid on it and
the 2,000 f. which go to tl:e second horse, 63,200 f.
In addition he wins largely by bets. Several gen-
tlemen who backed other horses, especially those
who "fancied" Tonnerre des Lades and Gouvieux,
haVe suffered severely. The triumph of Ventre
Saint Gris was hailed with acclamations, and Count
de Lagrange was warmly congratulated. Three
j ockeys—Ashmall, Mundy, and Plumb—were fined,
and interdicted from riding again this year, for
wilfully being-the cause of some of the false starts.
The number of horses which paid the 500 f. forfeit
was 36.

the first turning Martel en Tate took up the
running, but fell off at the stables, when it was
taken up by Etoile du N.,rd. At the hill Etoile
du Nord gave way, and then Ventre St. Gris
strode up from the ruck, and proceeded to cut out the
work at a gallant pace. Furens and La Maladetta ran
through their horses in the straight, and took the se•
cold and third places. Ventre Saint Gris made run-
ning to the end, winning easily by tiv'o lengths. A

TELEGRIPILIC_COVIVEISJOATION TVITfI
THE. E4a.,

But for the effortiThi its prom( tocs telegraphic
common cat East aould most pr °barely
have bee!, alroadyestebLised, Sernarofithes:3 gen-
tlemen AVOlk as elfeetually to prevent it as if they
were eurployed by foreign Governments for the
purpoie. While Tridia is in the thrccs cf an ..Imost
mortal conViilsion' the physicians can dO nothing
but quarrel as to the right ot each to the part they
ara to take in, the administration of the remedies.
Our difficulties arise out of our bunnies. There
happen to b 3 two routes, each: offering obvious
advantages; but in one case there is an apparent
deerniinatiOn not merely to contest each move•
merit of the other, but to foregd its -own chances
of success rather than that Loh should be carried
out. _Renee the public ara distracted, and led to
Gbeolvieevr e
eenenit are eih alike
itiojrnbisilcd
eimpra:ittici;.bt!eh,atwhich
and the
officials hold precious ab3ve all things—a good pre-
text for doing nothing. The Persian
b ing capableGeulf line has
the recommemlatiens of cheapness, of
of speedy coes!ruction, and of offering us means of
information from intermediate regions, whence,
judging from the pr, sent policy of Russia,
means are likely henceforth to b 3 mot important.
While it is alleged to be liable to interruption
from wilful or accidental damage, it is at the same
time most open to immediate repair, and enjoys
also the advantage that, as these risks are only
in the land part, each break that might happen
would cause 'merely a slight delay instead of a
tA•I susp.nsion of nests, sine.) she defective
spaces could be travel vd by. horsemen or ordinary
runners. Our past in this route would consist of
a simple cable through the shallow waters of the
Persian Gulf ; the capital has *bnn subscribed
for two years past, and nothing is wanting but
the decision of the Government and the India
Rouse. The Red Sea line, on the other hand, has
the recommendation of being almost wholly oceanic,
and, consequently, perhaps less liable to casual in-
terruptions; but it would iuvolvegreateroutlay anti
time, and any break that might occur would for
the moment be much more serious in its conse-
quences. It has not a subscribed capital, and has
had the drawbacks of having originally based its
claims to support partly upon statements from ob-
joctionaßa authority, and of subsequently com-
mittiug the mistake of enrolling an influential
name among its directors without having first
obtained the requisite sanction. Stilt the
üblic have been disposed to regard both with
favour, and at any time during the past year the
most popular act the Government could have
perf,rmed would have been to order the two to
be simul aneously carried out. The total expense
wou'd have been about equal to the sum raid dur-
ing one month of last autumn for the hire of trans-
ports to repair the dsa,ters consequent upon the
existiug tardy methods of communication. But
upon every attempt to bring public opinion to bear,
so as to enforce a vig Tons recognition of this ne-
cos,ity, the partisans of the Iced Sea route have in-
stantly come forth to denounce that by the Persian
Gulf. This, of course, provokes a rejoinder, which
is usually quite as damaging to the other side.
Each writ r demonstrates the " wildness" of the
other's views, appeals-to personal experience, and
arrays authority against authority. At last the
whole affair bar assumed all the incoherent bitter-
ness of a &retain 1 controversy, in which the grand
pleasure is not to prove yourself in the right, but
romebody .else in the wrong. The Government
should cut it short by deciding upon their own
course. It is-strongly reported that they intend to
do so, and iu that case they will deservedly gain a
large uniqunt of favour, which their predecessors
had the opportunity of seeming and were infatu-
ated enough to disregard. According to some
statements Choy have resolved that the Persian
Gulf cable shall at all events be laid forthwith, and
the energy with which certain continental influ-
ences have long been exercised to prevent the ac-
complishment of that project, while there has been
nothing like the same effort to obstruct the plan
by the Red Sea, should of itself be a sufficient
hint of the value supposed to attach to it. . It
must b 3 repeated, however, that both should be
at once set afoot. The Red Sea projectors have
lately assumed the ground that such an idea is not
to be entertained—that the Government are, for
the pre.ent, compelled to make a choice—that this
choice must bo in their favour—ant thus that the
sister project should be indefinitely net aside.
Should the decision turn the other way they would
therefore have no cause for complaint in finding
themselves out .of the field. But a determination
to rely upon a single route, notwithstanding the
tone thus adopted, would he greatly condemned by
the public. Looking at the consequences to be ap-
prehended from any sudden stoppage of cornmuni-
c stion after we had adapted all our habits to the
electric sy stern, there would be no reproach too
heavy for a Ministry that had neglected to take
precautions for an alternative.—'l he Times' City

DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.

VISITATION OF TRINITY COLLEGE.

Yesterday, at ll o'clock a.m., the Vice-Chancel.
for of the lUniversity (Blackburne) and the Arch-
bishop of Dublin opened the Visitors' Court in the
dining-hall of Trinity College. The proceedings
were commenced by the reading of the roll of Fel-
lows and Scholars, all of whom answered to their
names, with the exception of some, who were stated
by the Provost or other friends to be absent with
leave. The roll having been called, the Vice-Chan-
cellor announced that the first business before the
Court was the hearing of Dr. Shaw's appeal against
the censure passed on him by the Board of Trinity
College some weeks ago. The Vice-Chancellor asked
Dr. Shaw whether he appeared by counsel or other-
wise Dr. Shaw having replied that he wished to
appear by counsel, Mr. Lawson, Q. C., the late can-
didate for the University, rose and delivered an
able speech on behalf of Dr. Shaw. In order to
comprehend the question at issue, it is necessary
to quote the annexed extract from the statement
of the learned counsel :

Oa the Ist of Feb., 1858, a document of great public
importance was issued in this cotntry—namely, the re-
port of the commissioners appointed by her Majesty to
inquire into the state of endowed schools in Ireland.
That report was the immediate and proximate cause of
the publication of the letter of Dr. Shaw, and the re-
commendation and observations contained in the report
formed a considerable part of the written communica-
tion in question. This was not the only occasion on
wbich Dr. Shaw felt himself coerced by his sense of the
duty be owed to the public and this university to call
the attention of the public to the state of education
in this university, and suggest such reforms as seemed
to him to be expedient to be carried out in order to ren-
der the university as effective ac possible for the objects
for which it had been incorporated. Dr. Shaw, in
the early part of the year, published a pamphlet in which
he called the attention of the public to the reforms that
were going on in the sister universities at the other side
ut the water, and impressed upon this university to fol-
low their example. The report of the Endowed School
Commissioners being before the public, and being of
course the subject of public comment, Dr. 'Shaw, en the
27th of March, published the following letter
"TO THE EDITOR OP THP DAILY EXPRESS.
_ _

" Sir,—l have just looked over the able and elaborate
letter to Sir G. Grey, in which Mr. Stephens, a member of
the late Endowed Schools Commission, details his objec-
tions to the report, and his plans for bringing about an im-
proved administration of the schools. Mr. Stephens states
that his objections to the report were too strong to allow
bins merely to abstain from signing it without alleging the
grounds of his dissent, and so various that he could not do
justice to them within the orlinary limits of a protest at
the end of the report. It is satisfactory, however, to find
that, notwithstanding this wide and multifarious diversity
between Mr. Stephens and hie brother commissioners,
there were some important subjects on which all parties
were fully agreed. As most of these subjects on which una-
nimity prevailed seem to me to concern other educational
institutions quite as nearly as they do the endowed schools,
and as they appear to me to claim especial attention in
their application to the University of Dublin, I would ask
leave to quote them inyour columns, where I have:no doubt
they will receive the attention they deserve from the
alumni' of the university, among the clergy and educated
laity of Ireland. Mr. Stephens agrees with his brother
commissioners ;

"1. That the ' chief causes of abuse and inefficiency in
endowed schools' are the following :
" a. The want of inspection conducted with authority
by duly qualified inspectors, visiting at short and uncer-
tain intervals.

"b. The wait of properly trained masters, receiving
adequate remuneration, and animated in the discharge of
their duty by the prospects of promotion, -and of retiring
pensions as the reward of faithful service.
" c. The smallness of many of the endowments.
" d. The incomplete and unsafe modes at present in use
of keeping the accounts of school funds and revenues, and
the want of a proper system of audit.
"2. That the provision made for the teachers ought to
be such as to enable them to maintain themselves and to
provide for their families in a manner suitable to their
education and position in society, without its being neces-
sary for them to resort to any extraneous employment as a
means of livelihood.' —Rep. 233.
" 7. That all accounts relating to educational trusts
ought to be audited under public authority, and the par-
ticulars thereof accessible to the public. Rep. 233.
" I shall not trespass on your valuable space by any com-
manta on these obvious truths. Those who are in the least
acquainted with the state of affairs now existing in Trinity
College, Dublin, know that there is, indeed, no want of
properly trained masters,' but as to their "receiving ade-
quate remuneration,' or being animated in the discharge
of their duties by the prospects of promotion,' there are
some very serious cases of want indeed ; while, as to the
prospects of retiring pensions as the rewards of faithful
service, such pensions in Trinity College are restricted to
members of the board, a body which few of the lower half
of junior fellows need ever expect to join until long after
age and infirmities shall hays rendered retirement neces-
sary. With respect to paragraph 2, I shall only observe
that there are now six of the fellows permanently obliged
to resort to the extraneous employments of grinding,'
managing a school,' kc., as a means of livelihood. And
on the subject of paragraph 7, I will avow my belief that
the simple publication of the college accounts for a
few years, would lead to the most important educational
reforms, so strikingly opposed is the present distribution
of the revenues to the arrangements which the interests of
education require, and which the voice of public opinion
would speedily enforce.

GEORGE F. Sllaw, Fellow and Tutor, T.C.D.

That letter was published on the 27th of March, and
on the 13th of April Dr. Shaw received the following
communication from the registrar of the college :

"Trinity College, April 13.
"Dear Sir,- -I am directed by the Provost and Senior
Fellows to direct your attendance at the boarJ, at 12
o'clock to-morrow.—Faithfully yours, _

H. TODD, Registrar.
" George F. Shaw, Esq., LL.D., F.T.C.D."
Dr. Shaw ha►ing received that somewhat unusual
communieet!on, with the ♦ery natural desire of prepar-
ing himself with respect to any charge which might be
advanced against him by the governing board of the
College, wrote the following later :

" Trinity College, April 13.
"Dear Sir, —lf the matter about which I am summoned
to appear before the board to-morrew be of much import-
ance, I would thank you to inform me what it may be.—
Your obedt. servant, " G. F. SHAW.
"Rev. Dr. Todd, Registrar."
Thit was a courteous and proper reply, and now came
the laconic reply :

"Trinity College, April 13.
"Dear Sir, —The matter which the board have to com-
municate to-morrow is of importance, but I have no in-
structions to make it known to you more particularly.—
Faithfully yours, "J. H. TODD.
G. F. Shaw, LL.D."
He (Dr. Shaw) attended the board next day, 14th April.
He
_found the Provost and seven Fellows assembled in
full state. The two Deans were present, and all the
solemnities directed by the statutes in reference to a
public !admonition were performed, and Dr. Shaw then
received the ceosure from which he appealed. When
Dr. Shaw appeared before the board he was asked whe-
ther he was the author of the letter of the 27th March,
and having avowed its authorship, the Provost, in the
presence of the two Deans, thereupon proceeded to in-
flict upon him the punishment against which he now ap-
pealed. The resolution embodying the sentence of the
board was passed -on the 13th April, 1858, the day be-
fore the correepondenoe between Dr. Shaw and Dr.
Todd. It was as follows:
"Board-room, Trinity College,
"Letters were read which had appeared in the public
newspapers, signed, one by Dr. Shaw, and the other by
Mr. Carmichael, appealing to the public against certain
supposed abuses in the internal management of the college.
Resolved,—That the discussion of the internal affairs
of the college in the newspapers by any of its members,
whether fellows or students, is inconsistent with the dis-
cipline of the college and contrary to the spirit of the sta-
tutes. The statutes provide a tribunal armed with full
authority to decide all controversies and correct all abuses
which the Provost and Senior Fellows, when properly
called on, have failed to correct or decide'. [lt then quoted
a passage from the statute and proceeded.] The existence
of this tribunal renders it a high statetable offence fo y
member of the college to appeal to any external rtribunal.an
It was therefore ordered that 'the Registrar summon D
Shaw and Mr. Carmichael to attend the board to-morrow,r.
and that the Provost, in the presence of the two Deans,
be retreated to convey to them the foregoing resolution,'
and to admonish them to abstain from such conduct in
future.' "
Mr. Brewster, Q.C., followed on the part.of the Beard
of Trinity College, and having addressed the Court at
great length, was succeeded by Mr. Joy, Q.O. (aloo a
late candidate for the college), who appeared for Mr.
Carmichael. The arguments were of a purely technical
nature, and pewees no interest for the general public.
At the conclusion of Mr.,Joy's address the proceedings
were adj•Jurned to this day.
THE O'CONNELL FAMILY.
The Freeman's Journal of this morning has a
brief but eloquent obituary notice of Mr. John
O'Connell, the favourite son of the Liberator,
whose sudden death was announced by telegraph in
the Times of Tuesday. By this event the Clerkship
of Hanaper, value 8001. per annum, is left at the
disposal of Government. The surviving sons of
Daniel O'Connell are Morgan O'Connell, formerly
member for Meath, and DAniel, the youngest, who
sits for the borough of Traleo. Some 20 years ago,
or more, Mr. O'Connell, then in the zenith of his ,

fame, used proudly to boast that there were "eight
of us"--a very forcible hint to the Minister of that
day. In 1858 but two of that formidable phalanx
we surviving, and only one of the name of O'Con-
ell is now to be found on the rolls of Parliament.
