Tne race requ req little description. The pace was se-
vere throughout. From start to finish Emigrant hote
his colours prominently in advance, and taking a line to
himself, was et times far ahead of his opponents. Minos
seemed beaten on passirg the stand the fret time, and on
quitting the racecourse be nearly came down. Escape
lay in the middle of the ruck until after clearing Beech-
er's Brook the second time, when he was hopelessly
beaten. The accidents, so far as we o ere able to ascer-
tain them amidst the cenfusion which prevailed, and the
short time which was allowed us between the decision of
the race and the departure of the express train, were
few, and, with one exceptioi, not of a serious character.
On coming to the racecourse the first time Forest Queen
cannoned against Star of the West and knocked him
down. He was soon remounted, but refusing at the lane,
was stopped. Weathercock refused at the third fence,
but was soon righted, and lay off until reaching the
Canal-bridge turn, when he drew forward and soon
took the second place. Albatross fell on the racecourse,
and it is said bloke her thigh. R.d Rose was also re-
ported to have met with an accident After clearing
Beecher's Brook the second time, Westminster took
the lead, Rnigrant, who was keeping his own par-
ticular track, running very wide not far in his wake,
Little Cberley and Dangerous being third and fourth.
lAt the la-t fence but one, before reaching the race-
course, Westminster dropped hack, and Resistant,
again took a long 1,14 he was first over the last flight
of hurdles, Dangerous being second, Weathercock
third, Westminster and Treachery next. Emigrant gal-
loped in an easy winner by two lengths. At a wide in-
terval behind Weathercock were—Treachery third,Dan-
gerous fourth, and Westminster fifth, close together.
Behind them, a long way came Jean du Quesne, Lady
Arthur, and Forest Queen. The next lot, consisting of
Casse Con, Minos, Squire of Renshaw, and Garry Owen,
trotted in. The succeeding division did not
pass the
stand, and the last animals we noticed were Escape- aid
Midge. There were others behind them, but we could
not see them because, like the Spanish fleet, they were
not in sight. • The race was run-in ten minutes live se-
conds. The ground, which comprised
\
grass, ploughed
and harrowed land, was in good going order.

THE MAN FOR THE FOREIGN-OPTIOE.— If even the

course, will be the Minister for Foreign Affairs. 01 all
Foreign Secretaries that Oid England has ever seen the
hon. member for the West Riding would be the most
thoroughly foreigne.-Punck

Ea'l GRANVILLE said in consequence of the
recent vote of 1113 House of GjD2MOII3 adverse to
th 3 Government, it was his duty to inform the
house of the intentions of her Alijes'y's Govern-
ment. The usual course under such circumstances
was to tender the;r res'gnation, bat tHey did not
think it advisable, after mature c3mideration in
th'S' instance to adopt that c)nrse. (Heir.)
Looking at all things and C )11S1Jerillg
that upon the most impor.ant ques!ion of China
they hid received the support of a large majority
of the house, and looking also-at the comp;siti n
of the House of Commons, ant co Isilerinl that st
htdexi -t?dnowfive years—that IL h ;d passe llrrongh
a time of war, and then b lec int) a p-.3riAl of
peae3—lookiug at ail tiin-ie ftets, the Government
thought it the most advantage ,us coursl to advise
tht Ccovern to rSet 111- quecion to the eutri--
try, to a‘cettaia c'elr'y WA3 it; opi-ion
two 1 the subjeit. All hi had to say was t h3r
Alje3ty's Government ‘vou'd only pent to
Parliament meaqtre3 that wer of ,heg-ettfst
po!tance, au'l w;;ich would nct give rise to any
opposition. They would be of a ttmporaly nature
with the view cf kn immediate appeal to the coun-
try, and to the calliz.g together a new Parliament.
He could not but think that such a course would
meet with no opposition.

Earl GREY said there was a great omission in
the exp'anAich. It was not ;ai,l whether it was
inteude 1 t.trecAil Sir J. Bowri hg. If th ,y did n
intend to do s^, be should bring forward a motion
for Lis iee.ll7.

der to the Sovereign their resignation, and leave to
those wlio have elyaiued that majo:ity the task of
conductng the affairs of the country, but the pre-
sent case s, ems to us to be of so peculiar a charac-
ter, that we have not deemed it our duty to submit
to our Sovereign cur resignation of office. (Loud
cheers.) Them: is another course which a Government
under such circumstances might constitutionally
adopt,: end that is the course we have deemed it
our duty to pursue. We have advised the Crown
at the earliest period at which the state of the busi-
ness of the house would permit, to call upon the con-
stituencies of the country to exercise that action
which the constitution placE sin their hand. (Cheers.)
Sir, I say the circumstances are peculiar, because
wh-le, on the one hand, looking simply to the last
debate, we should say that we have lost the confidence
of the house, yet on the other hand, looking at the
divisions that took place shortly before on questions
involving very important portions of the policy of
the Government. Very different and opposite
results took plaee—,rcheers)—and also I am bound
to say—l feel myself free to say—that someof those
who concurred in the vote of Tuesday, did make
it understood that that vote was not to be con-
sidered as implying a withdrawal on their
pet of the confidence hitherto placed in her Ma-
jesty's Government. But, sir, it is in vain
to deny that that would render it ve'y
difficult, if not unseemly, for the Government
with regard to a horn it was passed, to undertake
to conduct the ordinary measures of this house
through the rest of a long session, and moreover
the state of parties which that vote ind;cates also ap-
pears to show, in connection with the various
votes and conflicting opinions of this house in re-
gard to her Majesty's Government on former occa-
sions, that it would be extremely difficult for any
Government that could now be formed, and I
state this not in the form of any taunt, to carry
on the basinesa of the country throughout
the s'ess'on iu what appears to be the present feeling
of tile home. (Cheers.) This Parliament was now
in its fifth session, and its duration had been mea-
sured by scenes of more importance than bad
been Ur e lot of mo t Parliaments in so short a time. It
had seen three administratiens. (Cheers.) The
one that called it, the one that followed, and the
present. It had seen a transition from a state of
European peace to great European war,
and from a great European war to a re-
storation, fortunately, of European peace, and
therefore, this Parliament has, I say, done
as much as could be expectel. The noble
ors then sail that the state of public bu-iuess did
not admit of an immediate dissolution, and he hum-
bly suggested that the house should follow the prece-
dent of former years on similar occasions, and was
done in the case of Lord Derby, that the house
should confine itself with passing the temporary
and provisional measures which would be ne-
cessary fer the public service, so that instead
of arranging the t axes for three years, it would be
but fir one, and to vote a sum on account of the
estimates, leaving a new Parliament, that
would probably ass3mble towards the end
of May, to deal with all these great matters.
He hoped the house would see that the course the
Government proposed to adopt was one which was
in accordance with the principles of the constitu-
tion—(cheers)----and that gentlemen would not place
any obstacles in the way of the Government to effect
that purpose. By . the course he proposed the
country would have an opportunity of choosing be-
tween two different Administrations—the present,
and ono to be formed from the combination of par-
ties in that house. It might be deemed advanta-
geous to the country that they should have that
choice, and that was another ground which justified
his throwing on the country the r sponsibility of
determining on whom should rest the responsibility
of conducing tha affaias of the country. (Cheers.)
