TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR.—I was fully prepared to see an outsider, and that
one of Forth's lot, bowl all the cracks over easily. I
mentioned in my prophecy of Monday last that it wens
very likely that an outsider, named but twice in the
betting in the early part of the season, and who had
lately been in some request at long odds, and which
outsider was the Merry Monarch, would do the trick.
The favourite, to my astonishment, went very badly;
Old England and Pantasa finished in front, and the
other fancy nags were tolerably well up.
On Friday the Oaks Stakes will bring a pretty field of
about seventeen to the post, which will be the following:
—Longitude, lUiss Elis, Heather Bell, Lady Wildair,
Maid of Orleans, Agis, Sir Gilbert, Lancashire Witch,
Hope, The Wreck, Glee, Fickle Will, Rose, Lcelia,
Event, Stamp, Plaudit, and Miss Sarah. Rose of
Cashmere and Refraction are very doubtful. Of these
the Lancashire Witch and Maid of Orleans have been the
best performers in public ; the former is a splendid
animal, well put together, and in beautiful condition at
the present time. The Maid of Orleans likeviise is a
strong, well-made filly, and will doubtless be one of the
first three. The little Lady Wildair, too, will be very
near the mark, finishing in the front. Longitude is not
to be despised; in my opinion this is the best of Kent's
stable, who, by the by, is rather strong this year. To
sum up in a few words, I expect to see the Lancashire
Witch first, Lady Wildair second, Maid of Orleans or
Longitude third.

The Members' Plate will have either Seaweed or Bar-
ricade for winner; Montgomerie and Dalesman close up.
The Derby and Oaks Stakes to either the Devil-
among-the-Tailors or Live-and-let• Live, with Wild Roe
close up. I am, Sir, yours, &e.,

proceeded to call witnesses in favour of the line.
Samuel Barlow, the collector of poor.rates in Sheffield, -was

town bad not continued working. • -
Mr. JONNSTONE, for the opponents, admitted that the partict tar
mines alluded to had not been worked for three years.
William Marryat, malster, Attercliff, near Sheffield, spol Le to
the benefits which the intended line would confer on the two
towns at the termini, and on the intermediate places. He a dded
that no inconvenionce would be felt by the markets in the town.
of Sheffield, the property of the Duke of Norfolk.
Mr. Bagshaw, magistrate of the West Riding of Yorkshi• re, as
also of Derby, and Chairman of the West Riding sessions was
called to prove that the lice would greatly benefit the I, ersons
living on the line, and that it met with their approbation gene-
rally. He had presided at a public meeting in its favour, . and
although his own pecuniary interests would require him to op-
pose the line, yet on public grounds he supported it.
Thomas Vickers, farmer, at Drontield, approved of the vial uct,
which would cross the markets of Sheffield, as the arches wi Add
protect not only the person, but the stock of the market frqtll the

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The performances last evening were for the benefit
of Lucile Grahn, and the house was crowded by
those who were anxious to do honour to the talent
of the youn Dane. The opera was La Gazza
Ladra, with Grrisi as Ninetta, Brambilla as Pippo, Mario
as G ianetto, Fornasari as Fernando, and Lablache as the
Podesta. It is needless to add that it was performed
in a style which cannot be equalled upon any other
lyrical stage in Europe. Between the acts of the
opera we had a pis de quatre, the composition
of the fair beneficiare herself, in which she bore a prin-
cipal part, and in which she was rapturously applauded.
The Dansueses:Viennoisses introduced two new pas—
the Pas de Rococo and the Pas des Amours, and repeated
the Pas des Miroirs. They exerted themselves to the
utmost, as, in fact, they were in duty bound to do, for
Lucile Grahn did them good service in composing
the exquisite ballet of Kaya, more for them than for
herself, and which affords them such admirable op-
portunities of displaying their powers. The favourite
pas de six, from this ballet, was also given in the
course of the evening. The great treat, however, was
Un Bal sous Louis XIV., in which Lucile Grahn ap-
peared for the first time as the Cavalier, supported by
Cerito, as La Dame. These two delightful artistes
danced together the Minuet and Gavotte, in the most
quaint and fascinating style imaginable. Lucile
Grahn looked exceedingly well in her male
attire. La Nena, too, danced El Ole,
a national Spanish dance, perhaps the most original
pas in which that celebrated danseuse has yet ap-
peared. Then we had La Cracovienne, danced in
the most espiegle manner imaginable by Lucile
Grahn. Madame Anaide Castellan sang the finale to
La Sonnambula. Cerito gave us the Pas de
l'Ombre, from Ondine ; and the whole concluded
with the Mazourka d'Extase, from Eoline, and never
did Lucile Grahn appear to greater advantage than
she did in this last pas. Her dancing was perfect,
her acting beautiful.

Sir R. PEEL moved, that after Monday, the 2d of
June, orders of the day should have precedence over
notices of motions on Tuesdays. He had taken care
that this would not in any way interfere with any ex-
isting motions
Mr. H. BERKELEY said that the proposition of the
Right Honourable Baronet would very materially
interfere with the motion of which he had given notice,
and which was of considerable interest. He had given
notice of the postponement of that motion, as he had
been unable, on two several occasions, to obtain a
House. He must say, that the expressed intention
of the Right Honourable Baronet would preclude the
chance of its coming on then, and he trusted
that the Government would give some assurance that he
should be allowed to bring it forward on the day it stood
on the paper for. His motion referred to an amendment
of the Insolvency Act passed last session.

THE NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD.

Mr. BAINES, on the part of he promoters of the Bill, read
extracts from the report of the Board of Trade recommend-
ing this line. He stated that it was intended to extend it
to a distance of thirty-two miles, and that it would connect
the producing districts of South .Nottingham and South Lin-
colnshire, with the markets of Yorkshire and Lancashire. By
forming a junction with the Midland Railway at Chesterfield,
they could communicate with Manchester, Leeds, and Barns-
ley ; and he would produce evidence before the Committee
to prove that the traffic would be amply sufficient to
maintain the line, and return a profit to the Company. The
line would not interfere with any existing interest. The
Learned Counsel, after giving returns of the export trade of
Newark in the crticles of malt, flour, coals, lime, &c., pro-
ceeded to call witnesses in support of his position.
John Thorpe, malster and coal merchant, proved that a very
considerable export trade existed between Newark and the
market of South Lancashire in the articles of malt and flour,
and that coal was imported in great quantities from Derby-
shire and Nottingham. He was certain that if the line were
made it would increase in a very great degree the value of
property in Newark. The popular feeling was strongly in
its favour.

Mr. Bramston, Mayor of Newark, gave similar evidence.
The Committee adjourned till to-morrow.

Group E.
NEWCASTLE AND BERWICK LINE.

Mr. Hudson, the Chairman of the Company who promoted
this projected locomotive line, occupied the attention of the
Committee during the entire day, in showing the immense
local advantages which would be derived from its adoption.
His evidence chiefly tended to prove that the atmo-
spheric system of railway would not work the same
quantity of goods as that worked by the locomotive, and that
the public would not be convenienced by having such fre-
quent trains as were advocated by the Northumberland At-
mospheric Company.

men of science and judgment in this art. These men played
together for nearly an hour, several foils taking place, Dyer
being quick, either falling on his side or shoulder; Good-
man, after struggling, caught his opponent by a knock over
the knee, and threw him a fair back, amidst the cheers of his
friends.
The next men to enter the ring were W. George, of Corn-
wall, and J. Ball, a maa of the same county, both good
wrestlers, and during this bout a deal of science and play
was shown on each side, several falls taking place, but no
back; Ball ultimately catching his man, and throwing him

certain parts, between the double beams, cork is intro-
duced, to adjust the floating depth to its locality, and ;
prevent oscillation.

" It is impossible to contemplate this useful invention
without being convinced of its efficiency; nor- can we
help feeling surprised, that a plan so simple, in compari
son with the vast importance of its object, has
not long since suggested itself to scientific men, whose
minds nave been directed to improve the commer-
cial interests and naval resources of this country.
The extraordinary effect of the cork between the double-
immersed beams, prevents the horizontal waves break-
ing over the breakwater, and enables any weight of
chain being used to moor it. This trial proves that it
does not ride with the third of the strain exerted on a
ship's cable at anchor, owing to the disposition and
effect of the cork."

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

This is an interesting combination of serious and
instructive reading. The present number contains
sermons by eminent divines, sabbath meditations, and
sacred poetry. There are also " Waneerings.by the
English Lakes," a description of Barnard Castle, and
an account of the Pantheon at Rome, with an illus-
tration. " Sketches from Natural History," are ap-
propriately introduced into a work of this description ;
there is no subject more fitted to display the wonders
of Providence, and to lead the mind " from Nature up
to Nature's God."

MUSIC.
GRACE AFTER MEAT.

This has been composed in imitation of the old
English psalmody, as an occasional substitute for
" Non Nobis Domine," by T. Williams, author of the
original " Not a drum was heard," &c. The words arc
few, and intelligible to all, which cannot be said of the
Latin grace, and the music is very appropriate.

THE COCK lAN.
Written, adapted, and composed by T. Bishop.
The " Cock Inn," was a favourite song of T. Phillips,
aid to be the last of the Incledon school, and though the
words are neither very sentimental nor refined, the air,
which is spirited, makes up for the deficiency, and when
sung even with ordinary taste and execution, produces
a good effect.

MR. D'ISRAELI'S S YBIL.

The following are some further extracts from
Mr. D'lsraeles interesting new. work :

THE LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE.

" Sybil, whose mind had been nurtured with great
thoughts, and with whom success or failure alike par-
took of the heroic, who had hoped for triumph, but who
was prepared for sacrifice, found to her surprise that
great thoughts have very little to do with the business
of the world ; that human affairs, even in an age of
revolution, are the subject of compromise ; and that the
essence of comyromise is littleness. She thought that
the People, calm and collected, conscious at last of their
strength and confident in their holy cause, had but to
express their pure and noble convictions by the dele-
gates of their choice, and that an antique and decrepid
authority must bow before the irresistible influence of
their moral power. These delegates of their choice
turned out to be a plebeian senate of wild ambitions and
sinister and selfish ends, while the decrepid authority
that she had been taught existed only by the sufferance
of the millions was compact and organized, with every
element of physical power at its command, and supported
by the interests, the sympathies, the holiest convictions,
and the strong prejudices of classes influential not
merely from their wealth but even by their numbers.
" Nor could she resist the belief that the feeling of
the rich towards the poor was not that sentiment of un-
mingled hate and scorn which she associated with Nor-
man conquerors and feudal laws. She would ascribe
rather the want of sympathy that unquestionably exists
between wealth and work in England, to mutual igno-
rance between the classes which possess these two great
elements of national prosperity ; and though the source
of that ignorance was to be sought in antecedent
circumstances of violence and oppression, the conse-
quences perhaps had outlived the causes, as customs
survive opinions.

" Sybil looked towards Westminster, to those proud
and passionate halls where assembles the Parliament of
England ; that rapacious, violent, and haughty bcdy,
that had brought kings and prelates to the block ; spoiled
churches and then seised the sacred manors for their
personal prey ; invested their own possessions with in-
finite privileges, and then mortgagedifor their state and
empire the labour of countless generations. Could the
voice of solace sound from such a quarter ?"

TILE NEW GENERATION.

" Egremont shook his head. • You still will cherish
these phantoms, dear Sybil I and why ? They are not
visions of delight. Believe me they are as vain as they
are distressing. The mind of England is the mind ever
of, the rising race. Trust me it is with the People. And
not the less so, because this feeling is one of which even
in a great degree it is unconscious. Those opinions
which you have been educated to dread and mistrust are
opinions that are dying away. Predominant opinions
are generally the opinions of the generation that is
vanishing. Let an accident, which speculation could
not foresee, the balanced state at this moment of par-
iamentary parties cease, and in a few years, more or
less, cease it must, and you will witness a development of
the new mind of England, which will make up by its
tapid progress for its retarded action. I live among
these men ; I know their inmost souls ; I watch their
instincts and their impulses ; I know the principles
which they have imbibed, and I know, however hindered
by circumstances for the moment, those principles must
bear their fruit. It will be a produce hostile to the oli-
garchical system. The future principle of English
politics will not be a levelling principle ; not a principle
adverse to privileges, but favourable to their extension.
It will seek to ensure equality, not by levelling the Few
but by elevating the Many.' "
