SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EGHAM RACES—YESTERDAY.
The last day at lieharn, with the Queen's Plate as its
leading feature, has usually delighted in that much-
abused adjective " grand," and hitherto has been exten-
sively patrani,ed by " the million." We cannot say that
such was the case yest, rday ; by an alteration in the
custoteary order of running, the Queen's Plate and the
Sturey and Middlesex Stakes changed days, and the
iatttn', Lo some uwoward and unlooked for
rircumstanees, Inlving proved an entire failure, there was
nothing in the list at all calculated to attract either the
sporting ar " miscellaneous" public. In consequence,
the attendance was not mu eh more numerous
that) on Tuesday ; the sport was inferior ; and
the bitting fiat beyond parallel. In justice to
the managers, we should add, that they did all
they could to make sport, and if they did not succeed
to the extent of their wishes, they have the satisfaction
of knowing that their exertions were appreciated by
those on whose behalf they officiated ; as an additional
proof we may mention that the stewardship for next
year has be.'n accepted by Sir Charles Slingsby, Sir
lE(.1;i: Booth, and James Ramsbottam, Esq., and that se-
veral names are down for the handicap. The racing
commenced at two o'clock, and, by a little better ob-
servance of time than marked the proceedings on Tues-

CITY OF Dumas REGISTRY. The state of the
Parliamentary registration for Dublin city affords a
practical evidence of the rapid decay of that Orange
fervour which preceded the last general election, and
which continued, although with some abatement, for a
year or two after the expulsion of the Whigs. Lat-
terly, however, the Orange and Tory party in Dublin
seem to have deserted electioneering as a hopeless and
unprofitable speculation. The agents who had managed
the registry fur the Tories have retired in disgust,
having failed to obtain the places they. expected ; and
on account of the general apathy existing amongst the
party, there is a lack of the funds required for the
payment of new agents, and all the incidental expenses
of hunting for claimants to the franchise, and bringing
them to the Registry Court. At the preceding registry
sessions, as well as the present, the Liberals have made
immense way towards recovering their lost ground. Day
by day the Liberals obtain a majority, and the Tories
now can scarcely muster a claimant. On Satur-
day the Liberals registered seventeen electors, whilst
the Orange party did not bring up a single man ! An
effort was made by Mr. Cary, who acted as counsel for
the Tories, to induce the Registering Barrister to close
the session, but he peremptorily refused. The Liberals
are still increasing their majority.
THE POLITICAL MARTYS.—It appears that an at-
tempt has been made to prohibit the erection of the mo-
nument to Muir and others, on the site selected within
the Calton-hill Burying-ground. On an application to
the Lord Ordinary, in the Bill Chamber, for an inter-
dict, we understand the judge (Lord Murray) refused to
grant the interdict hoc stain, reserving to the parties to
try the matter in the Court of Session, in a deliberate
form. Independently of the question of right, we con-
ceive this interference an ill-advised step. Half a cen-
tury has elapsed since the condemnation of these men ;
nearly all who took a part in the struggles of those days
have passed away ; the animosities have been buried ;
and we live in a new era, when one ought to look back
on that stormy period with a calm historical interest.
This monument is to be raised by those who sympathise
in the hard fate of those virtuous sufferers, the sub-
scribers including the late Duke of Bedford, the late Lord
Holland, and Sir James Gibson Craig. To treat this
tribute as if it was some moral pollution, calculated to
shock the sensibilities of one class of our citizens, and
even disturb the mouldering remains of those who lie
around, is nut only extravagant, but can be regarded as
nothing else than a piece of arrant affectation. As to
the question of right, we don't believe that any parties
can interfere with the erection of this monument, sup-
posing the title to the site to be effectual.—Cakdonian
Mercury.
