The meeting was brought to a close yesterday in a

been instrumental to its restoration. The weather
agreeably disappointed the apprehensions excited by
some showers that fell on Tuesday night was delightful,
the sport excellent, and the attendance quite as numerous
as on the first day. In conclusion, we may venture to
predict that under so zealous and competent a manage-
ment, with such staunch," liberal, and influential sup-
porters as Lords Spencer, Chesterfield, Southampton, G.
Bentinck, and Cardigan, Sir C. Knightley, Colonel
Anson, Messrs. Payne, and Bouverie (we make but a
selection from a long list of patrons), with a most com-
plete stand, and one of the best of race-courses, North-
ampton must become the best Spring provincial meeting
in the kingdom.

GENERAL NAPIER IN GUERNSEY.
(From the Jersey Gazette.)
The true key whereby to unlock the hidden mys-
teries of Normanism is to be found in this Channel
Island axiom—" All poor and sinful persons are a spe-
cks of ferz naturae, to be hunted down at the will
and pleasure of any man or boy that happens to be
clothed in a little brief authority." It is a sufficient
reason, according to this rule of misrule, that a per-
son is helpless that he should be trampled upon ; that
he is at the world's mercy that he should be treated
mercilessly. This is a strange code, sounds rudely upon
ears accustomed to hear that the safeguards of law
were principally intended to protect the help-
less from the contempts of the powerful; to award to
crime only such a due measure of punishment as may
protect society from danger. A man who can give a
cheque for a thousand pounds has little need of the
law as a defensive safeguard. The rich man has at his
command innumerable ministers who will peril soul
and body to protect him for a consideration. The
lowly have no such refuge, and if the portals of the
temple of justice be closed to them by the rude hands
of subordinate officials, whence are they to expect
redress ? From the throne only, or from the repre-
sentative of the throne. This is an eternal truth, daily
becoming more and more manifest.
The case of Maria Hatch, the poor wretched Eng-
lish girl, which, as we informed our readers on Mon-
day evening last, had been referred to the Royal
Court of Guernsey, by the Governor of that Island,
General Napier, is a striking illustration of the truth
of whet we have advanced. She was seized after her
