SPORTING INTELLtiENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—FRIDAY.
Making due allowance for the Cup, confessedly the crack race
of the week, there is nothing in the " Grand Day" here that
will bear comparison with Tuesday and
,Friday—the Alpha and
(hnega of the meeting, in the estimation of a genuine turfite.
The running on those days is almost invariably of a superior
character, and is free from those annoyances to which all are
subjected on the Thursday. On the first day, too, independeat
of other inducemenss, the most attractive features of the third
I may be found by those to whom racing at Ascot, with-
out its concomitant—royalty, wou:d be 'incomplete.
The Friday. however, is the pet day of the mere
" spsriine " man. 'The fields are larger ; the horses
better matched ; betting, as a consequence, is more animated,
and the racing altogether assumes a business like shape. Su
was it yesterday. The card displayed a formidable array of
stakes, of which the Wokingham, in two classes, were the
most prominent, and we had only to point to the list of starters
fur each to prove that he who turned his horse's head home-
wards without a feeling of thankfulness to those who had ca-
tered so bountifully for his amusement, must have been exces-
sively hard to please.
it would be an useless repetition to give the names of the
fashionables present yesterday ; it will be enough to state that
most of the stars of the sporting world were to be found either
in the Jockey Club stand or in that mystic circle, y'clept the
"rink" and that a few of the attaches of Royalty, not Royalty
itself, occupied the principal apartment of the Queen's Stai.d,
of the middle ranks the muster was more numerous than usual
on the last day, although, of itself, inconsiderable.
To enable " Hon. Members " to reach town early the first
race was fixed for half-past twelve o'clock ; it proved, however,
to be a walk over for

and 4 to I agst Rochester.
Rochester made all the running, and, after a good race from
the stand, won by half a length.
With this race closed the most complete meeting ever held
on Ascot Heath; we say "complete," because there is no
other word that so well describes its charactor. It was not
wanting in a single feature necessary to its success; the pre-
sence of the Queen and her illustrious Consort, at tended by a
brilliant Court, proved its chief attraction. The sport was
abundant and of the must exciting kind, the weal her glorious.
and the .company numerous and aristocratic beyond precedent ;
nor was there a wrangle or accident to mar the general
happiness. In conclusion—the arrangements for the
week were drawn ur with a tact that proved Lord
Rosslyn to be perfectly au fait to his duties, and
were ably carried out by Mr. Hibburd and his
subordinates. The "Judgment seat" was most satisfactorily
filled by Mr. Clark of Newmarket, and a strong detachment of
the police. under Superintendents May and Grinsell, and In-
spector Pearce, kept excellent order on the course.

HAMBURGH, JUNE 7.—We are able to give our
readers the gratifying information, that the' British Govern-
ment has been induced to grant to German emigrants to New
Zealand, on certa'n conditions, equal privileges with English
subjects. A free passage will be given to German emigrants,
recommended by the British agents; and immediately on their
arrival in the colony, they obtain their naturalization. To
carry these measures into effect, the New Zealand Company
has established at Hamburgh an agency for Germany, the
official no:ice sf which may be shortly expected.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.—(From the Leipsig Ailge-
miens Zeitung.)—For some time past a report has been eircu-
lated in these parts of a conspiracy against the Emperor of
Russia, which was happily suppressed. The Senate, it is said,
in consequence of the new law relative to the landowners and
the lieasants, formed a plot against the Emperor, and even a
more atrocious attempt is said to have been made. Though all
the details come from several quarters, and are given as posi-
tive, we think that, for the present, they must be considered as
doubtful, as we have been so often deceived ssith such Russian
nevi s.

EXTRAORDINARY QUICK PASSAGE FROM HAM-
M: ROIL—The General Steam Navigation Company's magni-
fi vnt Mail Steamer, the Counters of Lonsdale, Capt. H. S.
Stranaek, landed her passengers and mail on Thursday off the
Toner, after a passage of only forty-five hours from Hamburgh.
The convict, whose escape from the cellular van,
and re-capture on his way to Brest, we have mentioned, is the
notorious, Picard, whose name and deeds have been so fre-
quently beforeibe public.

THOUGHTS 01V THE PURITY OF 41!:LEC,
TION. BY A MEMBER OF PARLIAMSIVT.
Though we differ essentially from Mr. Monckton • ,
Milnes, the avowed author of this pamphlet, the pe-
rusal of it has much raised him in our estimation. It
proves that he is thoughtful and discriminating. We
may say that he shares these characters with a num-
ber of young men of his party. Whether it be from
the rise of Puseyism in the Church, or the hand of
affliction, which . has latterly laid with wine weight
and more apprehension on that body, it is undoubted :
that she has latterly turned oat some welt-drilled
youths. We speak not of their opinions, which are
erroneous, but of their habits of thought, which are
sedate and careful. They have been drilled to serve
the Church. The majority of them will profit by their
teaching hereafter, to be useful in putting down her
authority. They are taught to obServe and reason,
which must be fatal to her pretensions. Their present
zeal in her cause will soon give way', and as .they ad- , • • ,
vance in life they will see the hollowness of her de-
mands on public approbation. In bestowing a just meed
of praise on the principles of the Church, we have no fear 4,
that we shall strengthen them to do battle against
the cause.we advocate. We rely with confidence on .::
.:ete4i
its truth, and hail with satisfaction every appearanea",,r- rein
of intelligence "in Young England, sure that it wilt,lol
ultimately be on our side. , • ,
The object of Mr. M. Milnes is to explain and de- '4ifff
fine " purity of election," of which he takes a rational'rh vo'
view.
"As long as the motive is selfish," he says, "no modi.
fication can alter its nature, and the difference between
the hope of future profit and the enjoyment of
present gain is intellectual rather than moral. The
principle of purity of election is indeed just as
clearly violated by any consideration of the kind.alluded
to, as by a direct sale of a vote. There can be no dis-
tinction between money and money's worth ; and if any
vote is tendered in a' spirit of selfishness, it matters
nothing whether the object be the immediate possession
of a few pounds, or the expectation of the means of
making many."
" Notwithstanding, however, the apparent identity
of motive in the corruption of the idea of purity of
election in all classes of the community, a distinction
has been drawn by which the receipt of money, in consi-
deration for a vote, has been pronounced illegal and •,
infamous. Even while boroughs were openly matters of
sale and contract, and there was a recognised price in
the market for a seat in Parliament, the poor man de-
tected in making use of his franchise to help him on
li:e and better his condition. and the wealthy man who
gave him the means of doing so, were liable to heavy
penalties in the shape of fine, imprisonment,.and
dis-
qualification : that is to say, a full and generous concep-
tion of the principle of purity of election was expected
from the poor man, while the principle was avowedly set
at nought by the great and powerful."
Looking at the matter under the general aspect, he .
does not, as might be expected, share all the horror
which haS of late been expressed at bribery by money.
He says
"In the new boroughs the constituencies have some
them escaped without temptation, and in none has a]
habit of corruption by these means been generated :
the old, the freemen are fast dying off, and the n,
ten-pound constituencies have not laid claim to t
money-privileges which the freemen have frequen'
confounded with their political rights ; a sense of poi
Heal independence is gradually asserting itself in th,
few boroughs still dependent on the possession of local
property by certain families, and yet at this moment t/
leading politicians in the Legislature profess themsel'
so oppressed with horror and disgust at the amount
money corruption, that they are prepared to pass t
severest law to coerce into purity the tempters al
the tempted.
" Truly such a moral uproar as this is unfair as rega,
the past, whatever it may be as regards the future: ti
old maxims are passing away, and new ones are bein
born, but let us celebrate their nativity with as little
justice as possible. It was no doubt a great blessing tha.
the habit of making presents to Judges was put a si
to in England, but it would have been as well, if the
. suit could have been obtained without the sacrifice.
Bacon's reputation, and without all the calumny whi
envy first, and ignorance afterwards, have heaped up,
that noble name.

Like other men, he has his own cure for corrui
tion, and suggests partial disqualification and disfran
chisement for a number of years as the punishment
bribery. We will not discuss these remedies, for
believe they would be fruitless, there can be no re
medy for bribery but by making the interest of thi
public and the voters identical, by enlarging the mil
fragel. We have not thought it of importance su'
cient for our readers to contest any of Mr. :
Milnes's propositions ; we are content with saying ti
we dissent from many of them, while we recognise .
the author a gentleman of a cultivated mind and sober
habits of thought.
