DONCASTER CUP FOR 1850.
, We were yesterday f,,voured with a view of the
Doncaster Cup for 1850, at the estahlishtnent of
Messrs. Hunt and R.)skell (late Storr, Mortimer, and
Hunt), 156, New Bond-street. It is ornamented
in the Cinque Cento style. On the cover is
a group of Victory crowning the horse. The figure
of Victory is beautifully modelled, and the horse is
full of spirit. Beneath the handles of the cup are
two groups, the one of wild horses, the other
of domesticated horses ; the wild horses are
fighting furiously, the domesticated animals are
fondling a I,al. Around the body in compartments
are alto-relieves of four different kinds of racing,
two ancient and two modern—the ancient are
the chariot race, and the race with lighted
torches ; the modern are the Italian, in which
the horses race without riders, and the Eng-
lish. These groups are exquisitely modelled, the
chariot groups are most classically graceful. The
moldier has thoroughly imbued himself with
the pure Greek feeling of beauty, and has
produced an alto-relievo which, for classicality of de-
sign and elaborate finish of execution, will not be
soon surpassed. The English racing group
is full of lite. Around the stem are heads
of Diana, and on the foot are the implements
of racing. This, which is perhaps the most elegant
race-cup that even Messrs. Hunt and Ito:-.kell have
ever produced, is, we understand, designed and mo-
delled by Mr. Browne, a gentleman connected with
their establishment, who has, by his conception and
execution of this very elegant cup, given proof of the
possession of true genius, chastened by refined taste
and cultivated by assiduous study.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1850.

THE EARL OF YARBOROUGII.
(From the Hull Advertiser.)
One of the many ardent admirers of the Earl of
Yarborough's public and private character, with
which North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire
abounds, has had the kindness to call our attention
to a series of letters in the course of publication in
an obscure Lincolnshire paper, condemnatory of the
Noble Earl's free. trade policy. These letters pur-
port to be from- the pen of an Old Tenant—a ten int
to whom age has taught such caution that we doubt
wh ther he has even communicated his name as a
" Tenant" to the editor of the newspaper in question.
But the letters bear internal evidence of not being
written by a tenant-farmer, whether old or young.
They have nothing of the freshness of a sturdy far-
mer's mind about them. They are manifestly the
concoctions of a tenth-rate Protectionist writer, as
unacquainted with practical farming as with the Elu-
sini In Mysteries. Their object is less to annoy Lord
Yarborough himself—wh e in all probability, will
never see one of them—than to disquiet his Lord-
ship's tenants, who, less familiar with such party d -
vices, may fancy that one or other of them will be
suspected of thus traducing the character of one of
England's best landlords. It is rather to disabuse
their minds of such an impression than to give any
formal contradiction of the untruths contained in these
letters that we take this notice of them.
As not one in a thousand of our readers will have
seen the letters in question--and as some curiosity
may be felt to know in what terms the character of
the Earl of Yarboroteeeh is assailed by this anonymous
champion of protection, we will quote here a rather
racy extract, containing the gist of the whole corre-
spondence. The Protectionist oracle of 80, Carnhill,
London, Mr. George Frederick Young, delicately
hinted, in a letter published in the Times of last week,
that Mr. Baines, the excellent President of the Poor-
law Board, "cooked" the poor-law returns to " make
things pleasant" to a Free-trade Cabinet; and here
we have another Protectionist oracle, without name or
address, imputing, by the basest inuendo, a still worse
charge against the Earl of Yarborough :
" Your Lordship is now a member of the Upper House
of Parliament; the votes of your tenantry, and of the
farmers generally, are not required, and you now avow
yourself a Free-trader, and, what is worse (excuse my
boldness) you actually lie under the suspicion of the
change having taken place for money; in other words,
that as every man has his price, your Lordship's advo-
cacy of free trade has been purchased. My Lord, Ido
not say that this is the case—l do not venture to hint
that the noble son of a noble father would sacrifice his
conscientious convictions or his honour for all the glit-
tering gems Golconda ever produced, or for all the gold
that lies hid in California's mountains and valleys; but,
my Lord, your conversion was little short of miraculous;
it almost seems as if you pulled off your Protectionist
coat (should I say cloak?) when you left the Commons,
and straightway departed and was measured for a free-
trade robe for the Peers."
This is a coarsely and clumsily fabricated false-
hood. No one before this writer ever said, insinuated,
thought, or remotely imagined that his Lordship re-
ceived so much as the smile of a Minister by way of
corrupt requital for his vote in the House of Lords
upon the Address at the commencement of the session.
Many of Lord Yarborough's tenants were opposed to
the repeal of the corn-laws; but there was not one of
them then, nor since nor is there one of them now,
base enough to attribute his conduct to other than
the purest motives. The character of public men is
public property ; and most assuredly it is not without
a feeling of strong indignation that the sturdy yeo-
manry of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire will learn that
a vile attempt is made to injure the reputation of a
nobleman whose private virtues and public worth and
example impart a dignity to the Peerage and shed a
lustre upon the English name. Though not disposed
to look very favourably upon his Lordship's new port
of Great Grimsby, the people of Hull take a warm in-
terest in whatever concerns the honour of the Earl of
Yarborough, to whom many of them feel disposed
to pay a qualified kind of feudal homage. His
Lordship's relations with Hull have ever been those of
good neighbourhood ; and in his place in Parliament
he has always been, and is now, 'looked to as one of
the legislative protectors of our local interests. In
the minds of half the people of Hull, the Earl of
Yarborough, before his elevation to the Upper House,
occupied the place of third representative for this
borough. Next to addressing the Members for the
borough upon any question, the natural appeal was to
Lord Worsley—nor was it ever made in vain.
But it is imputed as a grave offence to the Earl of
Yarborough that being, when a young man, a Pro-
tectionist, he so far advanced with the progress of the
age in which he lives as to discover that it was impos-
sible to maintain the corn-laws, after nine-tenths of
the working classes in this country had resolved to have
a free trade in food. We regard this imputed offence
as an act of true statesmanship. It constitutes the
halo round the head of the late Sir Robert Peel that
he directed this might consummation of a nation's
hopes. And well was it for the tenants of the
Noble Esc', and for the agriculturists of England
generally, that the House of Lords, influenced by the
sound judgment of such clear-headed, practical men
as the late Right llon. Baronet, gave way so soon
upon that question. 1-lad the corn-laws not been re-
pealed before the commencement of the French and
other continental revolutions, there would unques-
tionably have been abundance of blood shed in Eng-
land. To the Peers and Commoners who repealed
the corn-laws we consider England indebted for an
escape from a revolutionary outbreak such as we
never hope to witness in these islands. We expect to
be told that the farmers are no craven., and that if
attacked they would know how to defend themselves.
Doubtless they would. The yeomanry of England
were ever a brave race. But is it not the bravest and
the best men who entertain the greatest horror of
civil strife ? Where is the Lincolnshire farmer who
would not rather feed a mechanic, than feel a
necessity for killing him ? But in such a contest the
farmers would not always win ; while, whether win-
ners or losers, the markets for their productions
would be utterly destroyed. Most fortunate has it
been for the British farmers that the bread monopoly
was abolished before the late King of the French ap-
peared as an exile on our shores.
But supposing no such danger to have existed, Lord
Yarborough's ultimate adoption of free-trade policy
was an act of just, enlightened, and progressive states-
manship. This is already proved by the result of the
experiment already made. In the course of one
year of free trade there has been an increase
of trade to the enormous amount of ten mil-
lions sterling and upwards ! Pauperism throughout
the kingdom has decreased fifteen per cent., and work
is abundant and wages good in the manufacturing
districts. Bat the writer of these letters is a political
economist of the old Protectionist school, and lectures
the Noble Earl on the operation of the principles of
that science after the following fashion :
" The inability of the farmer to purchase in the mar-
ket towns has brought down the prices of all commodi-
ties vended by the tradesman, and your Lordship can

who suffers from the V. 10s. diminution in price ? Is it
seuts labour and profit, and that as much labour and
profit—as much of the sweat of the working man's brow
and the anxiety, skill, and care of the tradesman
can be obtained for 71. 10s. as formerly 104 would
pur-
chase?"
There are two great fallacies here. The first con-
sists in attributing the depreciation in the prices of
every article of manufacture, from " a gold watch
down to a gridiron," to the inability of farmers to
purchase such articles; and the second in assuming
that manufactured articles represent "as much of the
sweat of the working man's brow" now as they did
at any former period. Manufacturers of all descrip-
tions employ their heads as well as their h
an dB. They
invent new and cheap forms of manufacturing and
thus they are enabled to produce superior articles
with less labour, and to sell them at an
profit at a considerably reduced price. Ticekreasehd
case, fur example, of Mr. Crosskill, of Beveral e te
the
eminent manufacturer of agricultural im ey,
p ements.
He will produce a score of cart wheels at l less expense
of human toil than it would have taken, twentyl years
ago; to make one-fourth the number. e can
do the same with all other agricultural
ments, which he sells cheap,and
cimple-
pays his men better wages than ever theyet
he
re-
ceived before. It is the same with the cotton
manufacturer. He now pays his s i
wages for cottons which sell at 3t erp nnedrs
than
ar , he
did when the same descriptions of cottons
for 13d. per yard. And yet his profits areeater were eold
than
greater
they ever were before. Of course henF
have done so had the Legislature secured him ver w
mono-
poly of the cotton market, and thus
t k
s a en away all
occasion for the exercise of his
inventive
faculties.
Under free trade, such, in time, will come to be the
condition of the 13ritish farmer. 'When tired of grum-
bling he will look about, and see if his fields do not
afford scope for the exercise of a little in vd
lentidvetalent.
Ile will drain as Mr. Josiah Parkes would
to do—he will study the rotation of crops

a
—he will practically investigate then re. more
t lets of
agricultural chemistry—and, in other respects, e
urn
to good profitable account the common ssFeenese with
which nature has largely endowed him. And if,
after having done this, he fail in obtaining all the
suocess which should have attended his labours, he
may, if a tenant of the Earl of Yarborough', confi-
dently appeal to his noble landlord for prompt, and
sympathetic, and efficacious assistance. One of the
best landlords of one of the happiest and most pros-
perous tenantries in Lincolnshire will not be slow to
recognise, if not to anticipate, the advancement of
such a claim to a heart fraught with benevolent
generosity.

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY.—The Festival, as regards
' the strictly musical portion of it, was brought to a
close this evening, at four o'clock, and will conclude
with a grand fancy and full-dress ball, to-night, at
the County-hail.
Last night's concert at the County-hall was fully
and fashionably attended. The concert opened with
Beethoven's Egmont overture. Herr Formes then
sang the " Pitt; pall," from the Iluguenots. Madame
Castellan and Miss Dolby next executed a duet of
Rossini's, from his opera of Bianca Taliero. Mr.
Sims Reeves sang "Fra poco" with great pathos.
Madame Sontag, in Betlini's aria, " Care compagne,"
from the Sonnambula, excited the greatest enthusiasm.
Miss Lucombe and Sims Reeves sang the duet " Tor-
nami a dir" with good taste and perfect intonation ;
but, following the brilliant performances of Sontaw,
did not receive the applause it merited. Miss Wil-
liams then sang a graceful ballad, written by
a namesake, " I've sat in Gilded Palaces." Madame
Castellan's rendering of Rossini's romanza, " Orpa
gentil," displayed her powers to greater advantage
than anything she had previously performed. Mr.
Lockey was encored in the well-known Irish ballad
" The minstrel boy." Madame Sontag then sang that
charming inspiration from Weber's Der Frei-
chutz," Wie nachtemia der schlumrner." Mozart's
graceful quartett, " Placid° e it ma," sung by Ma-
dame Castellan, Miss Dolby, Mr. Lockey, and Herr
Formes, was followed by Mendelsshon's Wedding
March from the Midsummer Night's Dream,
which concluded the first act.
The second part opened with Mendelssohn's over

ture to the Miristo-nmcr Night's Dream. Cursch
man's trio, "Ti prego," was beautifully sung by
Miss Lucombe, Miss Williams, and Mr. Locket.
The aria, " At, non giunge," was sung by Madame
Castellan in her best style. Mr. Phillips sang Han-
del's song, "Revenge, Timotheus cries," in his own
masterly manner. The duet, "Egli modia," from
Donizetti's Lucia, sung by Madame Sontag and
Sims Reeves, was well given. Miss Lucombe
then sang the Scotch song, "Bonny Jockey,"
with such archness and grace as to elicit an
encore. At the request of several persons attend-
ing the concert Madame Sontag kindly sang,
" Home, Sweet Home." Morley's ballad, "My
Bonny Lass," was sung much better than any of the
previous madrigals. It was encored, as was also Miss
Dolby in the Scotch song, " The Lords of the Con-
vention." Sontag was magnificent in her delivery of
Rode's air and variations, and Herr Formes in the
buffo song from Il Barbiare,—the " Largo al Fac-
totum," developed the full power and majesty of his
bass voice.

The National Anthem concluded the last concert
of the festival just before midnight, and the city was
in another half-hour wrapped in quiet. The citizens
of Gloucester have vied with each other in showing
their hospitality to their friends, and the festival of
1850 will long be remembered as one of the gayest
recorded in the history of these highly interesting
meetings.
To- day, the last day of the festival, has afforded a
crowning victory. The bustle in the streets and at
the place for obtaining tickets gave note of what fol-
lowed. As early as ten o'clock parties were throng-
ing to the cathedral to hear the Messiah. At
half-past eleven o'clock, when the oratorio was com-
menced, the cathedral was thronged in every part.
A special train from London brought a large number
of strangers from the metropolis, Oxford, and other
intermediate places, and the coup (rceil as the audience
seated themselves on the raising of the conductor's
baton was most imposing. The utmost devotion ap-
peared to be paid by. the audience, many of whom
were affected to tears.

At the conclusion of the overture, Mr. Sims Reeves
sang the opening recitative, and the subsequent air,
" Every Valley." Mr. Lawler gave the recitative
" Thus saith the Lord." He seemed to be suffering
from indisposition. Miss Williams sang the recita-
tive and air, " 0 Thou that tellest," in her usual cor-
rect manner, and the chorus was given splendidly.
Mr. Lawler gave the recitative, "For behold dark-
ness," in capital style, and in the air he sang admira-
bly. The chorus, " Unto us a child is born," was
highly satisfactory. The pastoral symphony followed,
after which Madame Castellan gave the difficult reci-
tatives announcing the birth of a Saviour with en-
thusiastic energy. Madame Sontag's execution of
" Rejoice greatly" was admirable. Miss Williams
sang " He shall feed his flock," and Madame Castellan
" Come unto Him." It would be tedious further to
particularise the different portions of this familiar
oratorio, but we may say that on the whole it was a
most effective performance.
The collection was very liberal, amounting to no
less than 3441. 35., making the whole of the collec-
tions 8641. 6s. 61., nearly 2001. more than at last
Gloucester festival.

SUNDAY TRAINS on SCOTCH RAILIVAYS.
The knot cf.' persons who have bought shares in
some of our Scotch railways for the purpose of glo-
rifying themselves and anno)ing the bone i fide share-
holders by making in,,tions about Sunday traits, are
making secret efforts to effect a surprise at some of
the half-yearly meetings to be held within these few
days. 11z-re is one of the manceavres—a circular
sent by one of the faggot- voters to his brethren and
others supposed (often erroneously) to be like-
minded :

" Rsmornie, Kettle, Sept. 3, 1850.
"Dear, Sir,---I write a line to remind you that t‘e
meeting of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Rail-
way is fixed for Monday next, the 9th instant, at two
o'clock, when I hope it will be convenient for you to
attend and support my motion against the running of
trains on Sabbath.
"Last meeting the numbers were 43 against 43 ; so
you see a single vote would have given us a majority
of those present.—l am, dear Sir, ever yours truly,
" FRED. L. MAITLAND IIERIOT."
Mr. lleriot forgets to mention that this result was
obtained only by the balk of the shareholders having
been driven away before the division ; and that, after
all, the votes of those present were 386 against 132
figures which, looking at the equality of persons,
show that the real or ordinary shareholders are on
one side, and the fictitious on the other.—Scotsman.
