The following also ran :—Queensferry, Alfred the Great,

Betting-2 to 1 agst Brine, 3 to 1 agst Bantam, 4 to 1
agst Queensferry. On the flag being lowered Melody
started with a clear lead, followed by Horror, Alfred the
Great, Bantam, and Brine, in the order we have given
them, the others lying close up. After passing the cut
fence out of the orchard adjoining the Spital road, Queens-
ferry rushed to the front, and went on with a strong lead ;
the Premier going on second, Horror third, Bantam fourth ;
then came Brine, Alfred the Great, and Melody. In this
order they ran, without any material alteration, to the
fence in the rear of the stands which Alfred the Great
Bleared in advance of Horror, who was followed by Brine
and Bantam, the other three lying close up. On rounding
the top turn Alfred the Great increased his lead, and cleared
the water jump in the bottom two or three lengths first, fol-
lowed by the others in close order, the lot getting safely
over with the exception of Queensferry, who " commenc-
ing" too early, jumped short, and fell on landing, and was
not afterwards persevered with. On reaching the fence on
the brow of the hill near the hovel, Alfred the Great made

given them above. Little or no alterations occurred until
elreiiii-g-the meadows at the far side, when. Guy Fawkes
fell heavily at' the fence before reaching the lane, and was
stopped. On passing the Stand Sledge-hammer still led,
Grey Peter going on second, Jim Crow third, Old Ben Roe
fourth, Harlequin fifth, Castanet next, The Badger last, in
which position they remained until re- appearing in sight,
when Grey Peter was observed at the girths of Sledge-
hammer, Jim Crow, with Old Ben Roe, side by side, lying
three lengths off, and to this quartet the race was confined.
Rounding the flag for home, Grey Peter obtained a slight
lead, Old Ben Roe at the same time taking second place,
the pair racing to the water jump together, which Grey
Peter cleared in advance of the old horse, who dropped his
quarters in, and won cleverly at last by four lengths; a bad
third ; Jim Crow was fourth ; nothing else passed the post.
The Selling Steoplechaie of 5 sovs each, with 25 added.

The following also ran :—Slasher, Savernake, Shylock,
and Gourd.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Eacape, 3 'to 1 agst Hazard, 4to 1
agst Savernake. Escape, in company with Savernake and
The Slasher, made the running, closely followed by Metal,
Shylock, and. Gourd to the second fence, which was cleared
cleverly, as also the succeeding ones, but on reaching the
stake and bound in the rear of the stand, Shylock blundered
and fell, but was speedily remounted and following on in
the rear. As they passed the stand Escape, Savernake,
and Hazard were at least upwards of twenty lengths ahead,
Gourd heading the rear division, the last of whom was
Shylock. On rounding the top of the hill Hazard passed
Escape, Savernake lying third, but on reaching the lane
Escape once more appeared in front, was never after caught,
and won in a canter by ten lengths. Savernake was stopped
at the brook and walked in, but did not pass the post ; Me-
tal, who passed him half-way up the hill, was third. The
others came in some time after. The winner was sold to
Mr. Hitchins for 105 guineas, and goes into Nightingall's
stables at Epsom.
The Borough Members' Plate (Handicap), a sweepstakes
of 5 sovs each, with 50 added by the members of the bo-
rough. Winners extra. About, two miles and a half.
Mr. S. Jacobs's Glautias, aged, 9st 41b (Holmes) 1
Mr. Land's Oliver Twist, 5 yrs, 9st 121 b (J. Land) 2
Viscount de Namur's The Colonel, aged, list 71b
(Lamplugh) 0
The following also ran : —Borderer, Salthill, Sir Charles,
Prince Charming, Balzarine, and Little Monkey.
Betting-2 to 1 agst Oliver Twist, 4to 1 agst The Colonel,
sto 1 each agst Sir Charles and Prince Charming, and 6
to 1 agst Bal arine.
Ou settling into their places The Colonel took up the
running, followed by Oliver Twist and Little Monkey, the
others lying some distance in their rear, the last being Salt-
bill. On passing the hovel, at the foot of the hill, The
Colonel, with the favourite at his side, were upwards of
thirty lengths in advance of Little Monkey, who was third,
Borderer being fourth, Glautias fifth, and Balzarine next.
In this order they ran to the lane which Oliver Twist took
first, followed by the Frenchman, Borderer, Little Monkey,
and Glautias, Balzarine following next, and heading the
rear division, which at this early period of the race ap-
peared outpaced and beaten. At the fence beyond Bor-
derer made a mistake, and came to grief, and returned to
his stable; and at the water jump, which the leading horses
cleared in brilliant style, Little Monkey fell and got his
bridle off, and dragged Stevens some distance. Mr. Wood
on Balzarine, by jumping to the left, just avoided land-
ing on the fallen horse and rider. On passing the
Stand, The Colonel went on with the running, closely
attended upon by Oliver Twist and Glautias. Then
came, a long way behind, Balzarine, Prince Charming,
and Salthill. The two latter refused the following
fence, and were taken home, Balzarine following suit
at the fence beyond. These mishaps left the race with the
trio in front, The Colonel apparently going free and strong,
having a slight lead, which he improved as they neared the
orchard enclosure, jumping which he blundered and fell, and
got away. Young Land, seeing the contretemps, made use
of his advantage, followed by Glautias to the fence, after
crossing the lane, when Oliver Twist struck a post, which
knocked him out of his stride, and " let up" Glautias, who
obtained a clear lead, was never after caught, and won in
a trot. Oliver Twist on reaching the brook was so leg weary
that he jumped into the centre of it, giving Johnny a cold
bath. The others did not go to the course, and returned to
their stables as best they could.

BETTING AT, MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.

For the City and Suburban, First Lord was decidedly
the favourite, being supported at 8 to 1; a point more was
offered against Thunderbolt; Benbow was freely sup-
ported, the 25 to 1 wanted of yesterday being reduced to
100 to 7 (taken) ; Pancake and the Giraffe filly were
backed, and 100 to 4 was taken a few times about Phy-
sician. For the Metropolitan both Danae and Betts
retain their position, Simla and Viscount Brignall were
each supported as low as 100 to 7, but that price was
easily obtainable anent the Viscount at the close. For
the Two Thousand Guineas Knight of the Thistle seems
out of favour, 25 to 1 being offered against him for this
event, and 40 to 1 was offered against him for the Derby.

The ukase, of which you will receive a copy, will
make known tcv you the nature of the institutions
introduced by the Emperor into Poland. The first
is that of a Council of State, largely admitting the
indigenous element by the adjunction of notables
either not included in the official hierarchy or in-
vested with elective functions.- It give's the country
the .-r , co-operating in the administration of
affairs proportionately to its interests. The creation
of government and district councils and of mnnici4
pal councils, based upon the elective principle,
assures to local interests the power of self-govern-
ment. Finally, the ecclesiastical affairs arid the
affairs of public instruction are entrusted to a
special administrative commission henceforth sepa-
rated from the commission for inlernpl affairs. It
will be able to submit to the iovernmeat the
measures necessary to the development of public
education. By these different institutions, the
moral and material interests of the country receive
new guarantees ; a legal expression is assured to its
wishes and its needs, and a place is left to the
ameliorations suggested by experience, the teach-
ings of which will always be consulted within
the limits of the possible and just.
The practical results of these measures depend,
however, upon 'the manner in which the subjects of
the Emperor in the kingdom shall justify the con-
fidence of which his Majesty has given them the
proof.

The Emperor desires that that which he grants
may be a reality. His Majesty believes that he has
fulfilled a duty of conscientious solicitude in.open-
ing to the kingdom of Poland a way of progress.
His liveliest desire is to see it maintain its position
and prosper. He firmly believes that this•result
will be attained, if his intentions Care appreciated
and seconded by the wisdom of the country.
