SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

FRIDAY.—THE OAKS DAY.
As usual, the, Oaks Day was distinguished by its quiet-
ness. Although the hill was well covered with carriages,
and although the Grand Stand was crowded, yet there
was no noisy excitement, and no Derby Day fun and en-
thusiasm. Even the dead heat did not stir people into
any uproarious demonstration. They bad evidently de-
termined to have a little quiet enjoyment, and nothing
occu-red to mar their pleasure. The deciding heat,
which was run eff at five o'clock, detained many persons
longer on the Downs than they had intended, and after
it there was a general rush for conveyances to the railway
station, whilst horses on the hill were "put to" with
extraordinary rapidity.
Thedead heatcreated a deep sensation, but the ultimate
success of Governess was regarded with great satisfac-
tion by those persons who had looked with suspicion on
Gildermire's running at Chester. In 1856, it will be
r-membered that Ellington wai beaten for the Dee
Stakes, and yet ho won the Derby ; and it is at least a
strange coincidence that another animal belonging to
Admiral Harcourt should, in 1858, be disgracefully de-
feated for the "Dee," and yet be within an ace of car-
rying off the Oaks. "Tom Dawson" ran sec •nd and
third, getting a little nearer with Gildermire than be
did with his Hadji for the Derby.. Governess had been
unsteady in the market, owing to a report that her foot
had been pricked whilst shoeing ; but during the mcrn-
ing she was alternately first favourite with Sunbeam and
Gil lermire.

The Nord publishes the following anecdote, the
responsibility of which we leave to that journal :
: " The salons of Paris are much occupied with an inter*
view said to have taken place between the Duke D;Aumale
, and Marshal Pelissier. As so many erroneous statements
have been made I will tell you exactly what happened.
Marshal Pelissier was taking a drive in Hyde-park. A car-
riage passed his. The Marshal was not aware who was in
the carriage, but one of his aide.-de camp who was sitting
in front told him it was the carriage of the Duke d'Anmale.
The Marshal immediately ordered his coachman to drive
alongside the carriage, which had passed him. When he
came up with the Duke's carriage the Marshal rose and
bowed to him. The Prince ordered his carriage to stop
and returned the salute. The Marshal thea addraised the
Prince as follows: ' Monseigneur, I ant happy to have
this opportunity of presenting my respects to you and
asking after your health." And I,' ePr
happy to see you and to shake hands wit said thou.' ince, ' am
k-
ing of hands immediately followed. A eny complimentary
words were exchanged and the carriagea separated. This is
all that took place. It must be remembered that Marshal
Pelissier served for some time in Algeria under the orders
of the Duke d'Aumale."
if,* We believe we may add that they Duke
d'Autnale and the 111%rslyil met at a small dinner
party a few days afterwarth.

PROPERTY OF MARRIED WOMEN.
Lord LYNDHURST called the attention of the
noble and learned lord t a defect that had been dis-
cord red in a very important bill passed last session,
by which it was enacted that a married woman,
separated from her husband, wishing to transfer land,
her property had to be subjected to the examination be-
fore a solicitor of the C..mrt of Chancery. Such ia pro-
ceeding would be extremely easy for a person residing
i a England, but one of Brea. d.fficulty fcr tbos•e residing in
tide colonies. He knew an instance of a lady residing in
Qiebec, who bad been suljected to great inconveni-
ence owing t' this circumstance.

BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. '
Mr. CLIVE brought forward a charge ora breach
f privilege of the house by a member of the provincial
vresi. He was lately chairman of a committee relative
to two rival railway companies, respecting which the
committee made a fair and impartial report by a majo-
rity of three to two. Cett3in local articles; then ap-
peared in the newspaper of which he complained, con-
taining abusive attacks, Ac,, Jour, at, last—one ap-
peered conta ning so gross a calumny on him that he
hA no °Uler course left but to bring it before the house.
(lies-.) Tea-Article' in queS ion ,;as read by•the hoe.
and learned womb. r. It ea,r4T-,d him with helves par-
tiean of the Caledonian Railway against tire North
Britt-h, and that he had been rallied by the partisans
cf the firmer in their favour. lie emphatically
denied the imputations cast on him, and said
that neither in the committee-room nor out
of it, had he conversed with any one respecting the claims
of the rival coinpanieP. The article went on to Charge
him with partiality, and that he held Caledonian stock,
which he also roost e npliatcally denied. He never held
a share in the company in his fife. The whole of it, in
the shape it wa4 placed, conveyed an insinuation which
it was imposs;ble for him to overlook. He challenged
any one in connection wi h the companies to come for-
ward and a-k him any question in reference to
the charge, and he was ready, if necessary,
to produce his banking bot k to show be had had no
transactions in railway shares. (Cries cf "No, no.")
He courted the fullest investiga•ion into the whole of
his object was to stand well
v
• d the house ; and he moved that Mr.
i rich
conduce
the idu
public and
life. His
Scott, the printer, and Mr. Wilkes, the publisher, of
the Carlislt Examiner, should be summoned to attend
:he bourse on FriclAy next.

Mr. HUGGESSON seconded the motion. He bore
testimony to the fair and upright manner in which the
chairman had discharged bia duty as such, and he re-
;retted that such an insinuation shoull have been
thrown against bim.

„
The article complained cf was banded in and read by
Sir D. LE MARCHANT (the clerk) at the table of the
house.
The motion was then agreed tn.

THE VOTE OF CENSURE.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
about to move the adjournment of the house to Friday
next, when
Lord PALMERSTON rose and said—M.fore the
right hon. gentleman makes the motion for the adjourn-
ment I wish to put two questions to him. The first
question is whether there is any covering despatch trans-
mitted by Lord Canning with the papers which have
been delivered to members this morning ; and whether
there is any objection to produce it f Next, whethiir, as
the right hon. gentleman prop rses that the house shall
adjourn to this day week, it is clearly understood that
the debate on the enotioo of my right hon. friend shall
be concluded tc-night f I conclude that the Government
does not wish a discussion on their conduct to be post-
poned until the end of next week.
The CHANCELLOR of the EICIIEQUER--I
su:le that it is a general understanding that the debate
will conclude to-night, or I could not have given nctice
of the adjournment of the house. I cacnot entirely re-
gulate there things, I can only set an example ; and I
certainly intend to make a few observations to-night.
With regard to the other question of the noble lord, I
regret tbat he has not given me notice of his intention
of asking whether there is any covering despatch c f
Lord Canning, as 1 am not now able to say whether
there i-, ; but I should think that there is no covering
despatch to the papers laid on the table, as they -
are
Addressed to the Court cf Directors.
