SALE OF YEARLINGS AT EAST ACTON
STUD FARM.

A most important sale of yearlings was held a
Donald's Stud Farm, at East Acton, on Saturday, when
Mr.
Messss. Tattersall offered 51 lots for public competition,
consisting of 15 of Mr. Gulliver's, 14 of Mr. Bell's, four of
Mr. Vv aring's, five of Mr Watson's, and seven of Mr. Duke's,
with some smaller lots. As this is the first sale of yearlings
held at East Acton- it may be right to mention that it
would be impossible to find any place better adapted for
such a purpose, the stabling being newly constructed,
with all the recent improvements, and the boxes being
both large and lofty, as well as ventilated in the best
manner. Previous to the sale all the visitors were enter-
tained at an elegant luncheon, laid out in the tent which
had been erected in the middle of the quadrangle, in the
centre of which a fountain played. Everything was of the
most rechereltj description, including turtle in abundance,
and the wines, with champagne and claret cup, received,
ample, justice from those present. ring was ereoftd
at the side of a largo field adjoining the boxes, Mr. Do'aald
having taken the precaution to have an inner ring railed
off, so as to exclude the rabble and allow bonafide purchasers
to inspect the animals. The press were also well taken
care of, two carriages being placed in convenient positions
for their especial use. Although the attendance was not
so large as at Hampton Court or Middle Park, almost all
of those present came with the intention of buying, and
the sale was a most successful one. Out of the 51 lots put
up 44 were sold, realising 8,080g5., or an average of a little
over 183 gs. The Suncliffe yearlings, Mr. Gulliver's,
were first put up, and 15 lots reached 3,300g5., or an
average of 220 gs. ; the highest prices being obtained for a
colt by Big Ben-Tiara, bought by Mr. Hobson for
500g5., which was not only the best looking but the
cheapest animal disposed of at the sale, and a colt by
Neville-Matrimony, which the Duke of Hamilton ob-
tained for 600 gs. Mr. Jay purchased a nice colt by
Neville-Sunflower for 310 gs. ; but the best sold
animal was the colt by Thunderbolt-Melody, for which
Mr. H. Hill gave 420 gs. Of Mr. Waring's lot the filly by
Oulston-Crucifixion, was most admired, and after some
smart competition was bought for Dr. Shorthouse by a
friend of his for 450ge. The Churchill yearlings, Mr.
Bell's, were next put up, and the 14 lots realised 2,775g5,
or an average of 198 gs, a great falling off from last year's
sale when eight lots fetched 2,715g5, or an average of 339g5.
They were turned out in good style, but only three of
them made good prices-the colt by Dundee, Margery
Daw, which Mr. Hobson got for 700 gs, and the brother to
Friponnier, which Mr. J. Dawson bought for Mr. Pryor for
650 gs. The last is very smart and racing like, and well
worth the money given for him. Mr. J. Day also bought a
useful colt by Dundee-Maggie Lauder, for 350 gs. Six of
Mr. Watson's were then put up, but only one, a colt by
Rataplan, Connection, bought a good price, and In was
well sold to Mr. Stephenson for 400 gs. A Newminster
filly of Sir T. Leonard's was not sold, and a colt of Mr.
Deacon's, br. to Ropley, brought 100 gs only, purchasers
being evidently deterred by the suspicious appearance
of his near hock. Mr. Duke's lot of seven in number
were next brought out, but only three were sold, making
together 580g5., or an average of 193 gs. They were all
greys, and very well shaped and racing-like, particularly
the filly out of Saxe-Weimar. The next sale will take
place at East Acton on Saturday, June 29, when several
vary valuable lots will be offered. The names of the
purchasers, with the prices annexed, are given below :-

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1867.

•

The Emperor of AUSTRIA has shown great sense
and discernment in the manner in which he has
acted of late, and no one can now say that he is
only playing a part, and trying to get through his
task with the best grace he can. On the contrary,
he has gone heart and soul into the work, and shown
that it is his sincere desire and anxious wish to do
all he possibly can to put an end to animosity, and
to inaugurate a better system. Goodwill and kindly
feelings are the order of the day, and on all sides
the satisfaction seems universal. The two acts
which have just been announced are enough of
themselves to cause this wide-spread rejoicing. In
the first place, all political offences are to be treated
with indulgence, and great tact is shown in the
phraseology used for the occasion. There is no
mention made of " parloning" or "amnesty," but
a far wider view is taken of the matter, and a higher
sense is displayed by the Imperial donor. Nothing
can be more complete or comprehensive than this
act of grace, as it certainly is to all intents and
purposes ; and it is indeed no matter of astonish-
ment that it should have afforded such uni-
versal satisfaction. The language is so framed

that it assures the hearers of the entire
good faith and goodwill of those in authority, and
exemplifies, in the highest degrees, the sincerity of
the intentions that prevail. 'We think any one
would be puzzled to find out any flaw in this docu-
ment, search it ever so cunningly as he may and
with ever such jealous eyes. It declares that the
whole of the sentences which have been passed upon
any inhabitant of the Kingdom of Hungary up to
that day for political offences and accusations arc
cancelled and annulled, and that all prosecutions
commenced upon these grounds shall be abandoned.
Confiscated estates are restored to those who have
forfeited them, and those will be permitted to re-
turn who are at present in foreign lands for similar
reasons. Also, this act is extended to those who
have persisted in their vexatious manoeuvres since
the restoration of the Constitution, with the require-
ment only that those should give a " solemn pro-
mise" that they will be loyal to their crowned King,
and that they will preserve obedience to the laws
of the land. This is a very reasonable suggestion,
and one that no one of any consideration could pos-
sibly object to.
In fact, we may feel justified in saying
that the EMPEROR has done all that he can, and
far more than any one had a right or a reason to
suppose that he would do, in the matter of propi-
tiating Hungary, and the only interpretation that
can possibly be put upon any further acts cf ill-
will in the future will be the belief that these dis-
affected individuals are determined to be factious
to the end of the chapter. Without indulging in
any extreme ideas, or investing the present posture
of affairs with the radiance that often attend
coronation periods, a radiance also that is too often
dimmed, it may fairly be expected that this work
of grace now inaugurated will bear fruits of rich
promise to gladden the hearts of the Hungarians,
and to glorify the memory of the EMPEROR in the
chronicles of that history which shall record the
annals of his reign. It cannot be forgotten that
FRANCIS-JOSEPH has been the man to effect this
work, who ever may have been instrumental in pro-
posing it, or in enabling him to put the scheme in
practice. This fact, indeed, is deeply graven on
the minds of the Hungarians, and the popularity
he will thereby acquire cannot be overrated, and
indeed it will increase in force and spread
further and further as time goes on. It
is almost amusing to notice the frantic but
fortunately futile efforts that have been made by the
Left to mar the harmony of the affair, and to sow
the seeds of dissension where all should be peace
and security. These disaffected Marplets deter-
mined to have a general pact of their own, but their
attempt was a failure, and their desire to be sub-
lime ended in their becoming ridiculous.
The second act of peace is one which displays
much kindness on the part of the EMPEROR and Em-
PRESS, and can hardly fail to impress the minds of
their subjects. The Coronation gifts that have
been presented by the nation to the King and Queen
of HUNGARY are to be employed in the " susten-
ance of the widows and orphans of former Honveds,
and of invalids of the same force incapacitated from
supporting themselves by their own labour." Upon ,
the Hungarian Ministry is devolved the charge
of putting this idea into circulation as speedily and
as satisfactorily as possible. The QUEEN has
written a graceful letter, in which she expresses
her ready concurrence with the proposals of the
KING, and her earnest desire that the
sum in question should be dedicated to
the purpose in view. In order to appreciate to
its full extent the meaning of this act it must be
borne in mind that the " Honveds" are those men
who fought against Austria in 1848, and hence no
better proof of the single-mindedness of the KING
could have been given. The Hungarians may well
be astonished to find so much consideration dis-
played, and such a liberal spirit evinced by one
whom they have so long looked upon in the light of
a tyrant and a usurper, actuated only by sentiments
of selfishness, and devoid of all gracious or urbane
feelings. It seems almost a pity that M. DEAR
should have deemed it desirable to refuse the por-
trait which the KING had prepared for him with
the significant inscription, " FRANCIS JOSEPH to
FRANCIS PEAK," but it is to be supposed that he had
good reason for so doing. At all events, it is satis-
factory that an interview should have taken place
between the KING and the illustrious Commoner,
which is said to have been most gratifying to both.
No doubt important results will follow upon this
that will be more fully appreciated as time goes
on. PEAK. has always shown himself to be a true
patriot, and we do not fear that he will fail in th
new task that is required of him, to conciliate rather
than to excite, and to keep within just bounds and
due limits those ardent and excitable spirits who
are apt to go on too long in the work of agitation
after the necessity for it has departed. We may
congratulate alike the Hungarians and he whom
they have so lately crowned upon the new aspect of
affairs which is before them. Let them take heart
and keep up their confidence in their Sovereign and
their faith in the future of their country. Of course,
there remains much for them to do, but they need
not fear to accomplish all that is required of them,
if discontent and are banished from their
councils, and a good understanding exists between
them and their rulers. With care and caution
Hungary may become a most valuable ally to
Austria—an earnest of the sincerity of her profes-
sions and liberality of her rule in the time of peaco
and prosperity, and a tower of strength in the day
of assault from her enemies, for she may fall back
upon the loyal kingdom as a never-failing source of
strength.

The King of PRUSSIA has left Paris, and it is
hard to say if his visit has accomplished anything
or not. At any rate, there is nothing to show for
it in the general opinion of the people, for it is not
considered that anything noticeable has been
effected, with the exception of passing courtesies,
and perhaps a more favourable estimate of Prussian
rulers for the nonce. This feeling is essentially a
convenient one, however, and ere long the Parisians

will forget the eclat of the visit to their city, and

commence speculating anew upon the position of
affairs in Prussia, and the relation they bear to
European policy in general. The fact is that under
the most favourable auspices it would have been found
difficult, if not altogether impossible, to effect a
change worthy of the name in the relations between
France and Prussia. It did not depend upon the
EMPEROR and the KING to do so, because they are
so far compromised in their respective policies that
to draw back may be more awkward than to go on.

lad it so chanced that the French Exhibition had

taken place prior to the war in Germany something
might certainly have been done, but at present
the case is different. It may fairly be said that
the chief characteristic of the visit of King
`WILLIAM to Paris was tameness. He was not re-
ceived enthusiastically, neither were there any
manifestations of displeasure visible. How far this
latter occurrence may be due to the confusion con-
sequent upon the attempt to assassinate the CZAR it
may be discreet not to inquire into it very closely,
but it must have had something to do with it not-
withstanding. So far, then, it may be considered
that France and Prusia have neither advanced nor
receded in their friendly relations, but are pretty

TEL SUN, LoN

.uci, le sane ps the y have been for some years past,
ready to be at pa Ace, and also quite willing to
go to war, and a of possesssing over much confi-
dence or goodwill ! towards each other. The policy
of Prussia has bees t so determinedly adverse to the
general feeling thrw, t prevails in France that it would
be quite idle to exp, t ct anything like a hearty welcome
to its exponent an d advocate, or to the lincG who
ratified his surges tions. If peace should be pre-
served, no doubt I great stress will be laid on this
expedition to Pal is ; but if, as may occur, hostili-
ties should ensue , it will be seen of how little real
avail these courte: lies in high places have been in
effecting anything- ilike a secure or settled state of

the

thing.

The news from .America brought by the Africa
bears date June 1, and tells us that the Judiciary
Committee has adjourned until the 20th, refusing
to recommend the impeachment of the PRESIDENT
by five to four votes. It has, however, passed a
resolution by seven to two censuring Mr. JOIINSON
for official acts " meriting the condemnation of the
people and the country." If official acts are to be
judged by their merits, we apprehend that the ver-
dict of an intelligent and unprejudiced jury would be
decidedly adverse to the Radicals, whose latest
manifestation of political feeling—the disgrace of
Mr. GREELEY—wiII not go far to redeem their
previous character. Mr. GREELEY'S signature of
JEFFERSON DAVIS'S bail bonds has aroused the
wrath of New England, where such a virtue as
magnanimity appears to be utterly unknown.
That a man should do anything for the relief or
assistance of a person politically opposed to him
is, according to Boston theories, a serious moral
error. Mr. GREELEY is one of the most consistent
and eminent members of the Radical party--he is
the one, too, whose name commands the most re-
sp,:ct outside the party. He has done good service
to the Radicals, and has hitherto been held
in high honour amongst them. All, how
ever, is forgotten so soon as Mr. GREELEY
out-
steps the narrow bounds of Radical intolerance.
He is attacked and denounced on every side, and
the subscribers to the Tribune are leaving him in
masses. He has himself in former days been in-
tolerant enough, and possibly this experience may
make him henceforward more lenient to others. The
extraordinary contrast between the liberality of
American theories and the narrow intolerance of
American practice has of late received some
forcible illustrations, none perhaps more strik-
ing than the case of Mr. GREELEY. The re-
presentation of minorities which our modern
philosophical reformers so strenuously advocate is
not likely to meet with much favour on the other side
of the Atlantic, where only the dominant party has
the right or privilege to speak. The natural conse-
quence of this system is that the country loses the
• services of the men best qualified to guide her well
and wisely. They shrink from the inevitable struggle
with noisy, unscrupulous demagogues, and so the
great affairs of State are left more and more to the
management of those who are content to bid for
popularity, to buy votes, or are made of stuff stern
enough to bear abuse, detraction, and unmeasured
opposition. Mr. JOHNSON attained his present
position by a series of accidents. He would
never have been elected bad the Radicals
foreseen that he would have refused to do their
bidding, and they will probably take good care that
the next President is a man of a different stamp.
The consequences are serious to the people them-
selves and damaging to the cause of free nations.
They can hardly fail, before many years have
elapsed, to be fatal to a Republican form of Govern-
ment.

It will be remembered that about this time last
year a very interesting ceremony took place at
Horton Kirby, Kent, where the Princess of Wales,
with her accustomed kindness, laid the foun-
dation stone of the " Home for Little Boys." Her
Royal highness, whose maternal feelings prompted
her to take a warm interest in this unpretending
but valuable charity, enrolled the names of her
own little boys among the life governors. Since
that time the institution has grown and prospered
as it deserved to do, and on Saturday last a large
and brilliant company assembled to witness the
opening of the building. There were some sad
memories to mingle with many pleasant ones. The
fair Princess, whose gracious presence and kindly
sympathy so greatly encouraged the workers last
year, was not only absent, but suffering from a
long and painful illness. The place of the beloved
and respected President, whose name is associated
with so many good works, was vacant, and it was
with a mournful interest that the visitors looked
at the " Ilanbury House" which was built with
the sums collected by his own exertions. It was
gratifying, however, to think that the work once

begun would go on and prosper, and as assuredly
there would be many thousands of homeless children
in this and other great cities who would stand in
need of its assistance, so we need not fear that there
would be found kind Christian hearts and willing
hands to help forward the gocd work so generously
and successfully inaugurated.

The design of the institution, though simple, is
in some degree peculiar. The children are taken
from the homeless and destitute class of all sects
and denominations, being, in fact, the younger
members of that great confraternity of city Arabs
whose miserable , condition at the experimental
supper so greatly excited the commiseration of all
present. The children being so young, however,
an attempt has been made to combine in some de-
gree the character of a home with the features of
an institution or asylum, which, however excellent
and well managed, has many drawbacks for bring-
ing up little ones. The buildings consist of a group
of separate houses, in each of which so many
children are lodged under kind and careful
superintendence, and each is surrounded by an
allotment of land and garden on which the children
are employed at stated times. This useful and
healthy system of instruction is a source of delight
to town-bred children, and we may fancy what a
wonderful change the little ragged, half-starved
denizen of a garret or cellar in one of the London
rookeries must find it to the fields and gardens of
Horton Kirby. There are workshops,.too,in which
various trades are taught and a regular system of
education goes on. The character of the children
exhibit the usual differences perceptible in large
schools or institutions, for human nature shows the
same leading features and the same endless variety
of detail in every class. The health of the children
is, we are glad to find, satisfactory, and their num-
ber is over one hundred. The committee hope,
however, to go on building until they can receive
three hundred, and we have no doubt that they will
be able to do so. Even that largely increased number
will leave many a forlorn little one out; but it is
a great thing that such an undertaking should
have been set on foot at all. The clean and cheer-
ful appearance of the boys and their singing gave
much gratification to the visitors, and afforded sub-
stantial proof of the care which had been taken of
them.

Lord SHAFTESBURY, always foremost in works of
practical philanthropy, delivered an interesting ad-
dress, and quoted from his own experience of Lou-
don outcasts some curious anecdotes. In illustra-
