The Sun.
London, England, 1850-10-28 00:00:00

ARIOSTO,

and expect to see 800, Confidence, and Mr. Merryman,
in close attendance. _ _ _

The Cambridgeshire Sulk( s, the last " great go" of the
season, " comes off" on Tuesday, and, there is every rea-
son to believe, a field but little inferior in number to that
which started (when The Widow won this stake in 1847,
when I had the pleasure of seeing the greatest number
of varters (37) that ever ran for any race in England,
charging up the course in grand array) will be brought
to the post to contest the palm of victory.
The following list includes all that will start. Those
marked d are doubtful :

The first flight I imagine will consist Of Essedarius,
Loadstoue, Fogleman, Borneo, Miss Ann, Landgrave,
ilarriott, Italian, Docility, King of Oude, Clelia, and
California. Landgrave claims my first attention; I
will dispose of him in a few words—in my opinion, he
could have won the Cesarewitcb, and he can win the
Cambridgeshire; whether he will or not, the grewt
arbiter of human events, Time, must decide. Load-
stone attracts all the aristocratic magnets; he will run
very forward, but as the absolute victor, I cannot have
him; his stable companion, Borneo, if run on his merits,
and not sacrificed to Loadetone (as I expect he will be)
would be very likely to do the-boys, and thus realise his
ex-cognotnination. Dawson's hop-, The Italian, may
run fourth or fifth, I cannot award him a nearer place to
Fortune's temple. The mention of this hcrse's name
the other night at one of our most sporting club-houses,
started a theme, anything but sncrting, but one that is
just now agitating that (in our favoured isle) all-power-
ful engine, the press; and that is the appointment of a
Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, &c. We might say,
in the immortal Shakspere's words—
" Thou canst not, Cardinal, devise a name
So slight, unworthy, and ridiculous,
To charge me to thy control, as the Pope.
Tell him this tale; and from the mouth of England,
Add thus much more,—that no Italian priest
Shall tithe or toll in our dominions."
If the Italian's chance of winning
the Carebridgeshirp
was no greater than the establishment of the Pope's su-
premacy in England, it would be small indeed; especially
after the terrific battery which, I perceive by to-day's
paper, was opened on the Wise-plan of Westminster
from five can(n)ons of that ancient city.
" But what's this to the purpose? you will say.
Gentle reader, nothing; a mere speculation,
For which my sole excuse is—'tis my way,
Sometimes with, and sometimes without occasion,
I write what's uppermost, without delay."
The King of Oude I cannot fancy, his majesty is
‘, bought and sold." Rassborough is over-weighted, so
sfsid is Fssedarius, but, notwithstanding, the latter
will be extremely bandy. Sir R, Pigot's other nag,
California, ought to be, at the aright (sst. 81b.) a per-
fect " diggins," a genuine gold mine; "come what will,
