ciety and excluded from the enjoyment of that fortune
which others, with no legal or equitable claim to it,
have been enabled to batten upon by the very laws which
should have scared them front approaching it—how
many promising minds have broken down in hopeless
ruin under unfounded imputations upon the sanity which
was never doubted till those unfounded impeachments upon
it worked their own accursed end—how many husbands
have been conveniently incarcerated by wives who had their
own designs to accomplish in pressing onward the facile
preliminaries requisite to secure their legalised removal—
how many wives have been in the same manner rendered
the victims of unprincipled husbands—what fathers and
guardians have driven children and wards into the hope-
less desolation of lunatic confinement for the most
treacherous and abominable of purposes—how many sons
have stifled the voice of conscience and the recla-
mations of natural instinct, in order to shut out of
the world the fathers whose presence or exist-
ence has become irksome to them, or i prejudicial
to their interests ;—these are secrets of " asylums"
and "private establishments" at which neither the in-
quisitorial powers of Parliament nor the benevolent
solicitude of philanthropic legislators, like Lord ASHLEY,
can ever arrive. But a great step is achieved towards the
solemn business of human reparation for past wrongs,
so far as human reparation can now be made for them,
—and towards the prevention of their future infliction
to whatever extent human providence and law can
reach—by measures founded on such irrefragable evi-
dence, such ascertained facts, and so wise and enlightened
a scheme of reformation as that for which Lord ASHLEY
has just obtained, we trust, the sanction of a reformed
House of Commons.

Betting-7 to 4 agst The Knight of the Whistle, and 4to
1 apt The Libel and Discord.
A very hollow race. The Knight made play for about a
quarter of a mile, when the lead was taken from him by The
Libel, who made strong running to the end, and wen in a
common canter by two lengths; a good race for second, and
every thing else beaten off. This running would give a colour
to the report that The Libel's early defeat for the Derby was
attributable to something else than temper.

At starting the lead was taken at a good pace by New Year'f
Day, followed by Wee Pet, Zahra, and Queen Pomare, Lothario
and Inheritress lying in front of the second ruck. They ran
in this order to the top turn, where Wee Pet took the lead,
which she maintained to the last turn ; Lothario then went in
advance, and with Wee Pet and Inheritress in waiting, made
steady running to the distance ; Inheritress here went up to
him, and they finished the race almost abreast, Lothario, after
a splendid contest, winning by a neck. Minotaur, who came
near the finish, was a bad third, Wee Pet fourth, and Boarding
School Miss fifth; nothing else was near this lot.

agst The Libel, and 5 to 1 agst Wood Pigeon.
Mr. Hill declared to win with Sweetmeat.
Zanoni went off with a strong lead, followed by Sweetmeat,
The Libel lying third, Wood Pigeon fourth, and Fuzbos last.
Not the slightest change in this order presented itself until they
made the last turn, where Zanoni was beaten, Sweetmeat
taking his place, went on with the running, and won easy by
two lengths; The Libel second, Wood Pigeon and Zanoni
beaten off, but so near together that the judge could not place
either.—Alice Hawthorn and Faugh-a-ballagh were declared
not to start before the first race.

Sir ROBERT PEEL on Monday laid on the table of
the House of Commons a copy of the treaty just con-
cluded between Great Britain and France for the sup-
pression of the slave trade. On comparing the au-
thenticated document with that which appeared in
The Sun we perceive no material difference, if
we except the period within which the treaty
is to be carried into effect after the respective
squadrons are ready to commence operations. According
to the treaty presented to Parliament that period is
limited to three months, while in the other it was stated
to be six months. There is, however, an appendix to
Article VIII. of some importance, as it contains
instructions for the officers of the two nations
relative to the search of suspected vessels. With
respect to the right of visit and detention of
vessels belonging to nations between whom and Great
Britain there are existing treaties against the slave-
trade, as well as those vessels not entitled to claim the
flag of any nation, there is no alteration ; and except-
ing the vessels of France, the new instructions in no way
interfere with the instructions founded upon the statute
passed in the second and third year of her MAJESTY. But
the commanders of the British ships are not to capture,
visit, or interfere in any way with vessels of France.
This, however, does not apply to the French flag in
every instance ; for, in case the British officer has reason
to believe that a suspected vessel does not belong to the
nation indicated by her colours, he is to hail the vessel, and
drop a boat on board of her to ascertain her nationality,
without causing her detention, if weather permit ; but
should he be prevented from so doing by stress of
weather, he is to bring the vessel to, and,in case of neces-
sity, employ force for that purpose, and if she prove
to be a vessel belonging to the nation designated
by her colours, and one which he is not autho-
rised to search, he is t 3 lose no time in
quitting her. Of course, in cases where the suspicion
is well founded, the commander of her MAJESTY'a
cruiser is to deal with her as he would have been autho-
rised and required to do had she not hoisted a false
flag. This clause of the appendix is important, and we
therefore give the principal instructions on that point
from the authenticated document .
" When from intelligence which the officer commanding her
Majesty's cruiser may have received, or from the manoeuvres of
the vessel, or other sufficient cause, he may have reason to believe
that the vessel does not belong to the nation indicated by her colours,
he is, if the state of the weather will admit of it, to go ahead of
the suspected vessel, after communicating his intention by hailing,
and to drop a boat on board of her to ascertain her nation-
ality, without causing her detention, in the event of her really
proving to be a vessel of the nation the colours of which she
has displayed, and therefore one which he is not authorised
to search ; but, should the strength of the wind, or other
circumstance, render . such mode of visiting the stranger im.
practicable, he is to require the suspected vessel to be brought
to, in order that her nationality may be ascertained ; and he
will be justified in enforcing it, if necessary—understanding
always, that he is not to resort to any coercive measure
until every other shall have failed ; and the officer who
boards the stranger is to be instructed merely, in the first instance,
to satisfy himself by the vessel's papers, or other proof, of her na-
tionality ; and if she prove really to be a vessel of the nation de-
signated by her colours, and one which be is not authorised to search,
he is to lose no time in quitting her, offering to note on the papers
of the vessel the cause of his having suspected her nationality, as
well as the number of minutes the vessel wcs detained (if detained
at all) for the object in question ; such notation to be signed by
the boarding officer, specifying his rank and the name of her Ma-
jesty's cruiser; and whether the commander of the visited vessel
consents to such notation on the vessel's papers or not (and it is not
to be done without his convent) ; all the said particulars are to be
immediately inserted in the log-book of her Majesty's cruiser, and
a full and complete statement of the circumstances is to be sent,
addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty."

Lyons cut out the work in the early part of the race, followed
by Satyr, Pergularia, Stamp, I-am-not-Aware, and Annan-
dale, Queen blab lying in the rear. They ran thus to the top,
where the running was taken up by Satyr, and carried on at a
good pace to the last turn, the front rank being composed of the
same horses that had been in advance at starting. Queen ,flab
slow drew up, and came first into the straight, followed by
Satyr and Annandale; at the distance Satyr showed a-head,
but at the stand was again deprived of his lead by the Queen,
who held it to the finish, and won cleverly by a length. An-
nandale, who came at the last, beating Satyr for second by a neck.

In consequence of a remark in a sporting journal of Sunday
last, that Mr. Brown (late clerk of the course at Warwick) had
been " murdered by an error of judgment," Lord George
Bentinck called upon the stewards to have Perkin Warbeck ex-
amined before starting. The evidence of a four years old
mouth were too palpable for the most ignorant to have been
mistaken. Zanoni's mouth was also looked at, and in this
case it was clear that an attempt had been made to extract the
teeth ; both were broken and jagged, and blackened on the sur-
face by the application of caustic.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 2d inst. Only
two journals were published on that day, the official
Gazette and the Reraldo—all the others having been
either seized or prohibited by the authorities. The
Esperanza, a Carlist paper, was about to publish
a supplement with the documents relative to the
abdication of Don CARLOS, but this was forbid-
den by the political chief, and the paper conse-
quently did not appear. The Heraldo, the Govern-
ment organ, disapproves of the proceeding, as the docu-
ments could have produced no effect whatever on the
Spanish nation ; and with much gravity infers that the
marriage of the QUEEN to the Prince of ASTURIAS
cannot for a moment be entertained. Don CARLos
and reform are incompatible. " Such a union,"
it says," is opposed by the national interest, the dignity
of the throne, exalted and powerful State considira-
tions ; by the blood of thousands of victims, and by
justice and right—it would he a public calamity ; it
would be equivalent to the proclamation of the cause of
absolutism and deprive the QUEEN of her inheritance by
at once dt.stroying the result of so many years of a san-
guinary- struggle." Such lat.guage is indeed a mockery
at the moment when all the independent journals are
suppressed by acts which even absolutism hardly ever
ventured to commit. The inhabitants of the capital
have, in consequence of this news and the arbitrary and
mysterious proceedings of NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA
been thrown into a state of the greatest excitement and
alarm. The Three per Cents. had fallen one per cent.,
speculations on the Bourse had been carried on to a
most extraordinary extent, and a revulsion had taken
place bringing ruin on many persons of all ranks. Every
day the financial crisis becomes more certain, and with that
possibly another revolution. Some desperate scheme
has been resolved upon by the Camarilla, which will
probably be disclosed at Barcelona The QUEEN on the
31st of May was still at Valencia.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT).
WEDNESDAY. —The Coronation Stakes will, in all pro-
bability, be put into Lord Chesterfield's pocket by the aid of
the Daughter of Industry, appropriately named Stitch. Lord
Exeter will, of course, start one of his lot, and, of course, run
second.

The 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes has six subscribers ; and from the
high character I hear of Mr. Herbert's filly, by Elis out of
Defender's dam, I am led to imagine she will turn out the
winner.

The other 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes, as far as I can judge at
present, Idas will walk over for. The Great Produc,, Stakes,
which was intended to be a most interesting race, has been
spoilt by Cowl running so immeasurably superior to any of
his compeers. If he has any opponent in this race it will be
Winchilsea, whose chance is most remote.

I now come to the most interesting-
race of the Meeting,
the Royal Hunt Cup, for which fifty-three horses have been
handicapped. Out of these we shall doubtless have fifteen,
or twenty, at the post ; consequently it would be the height
of vanity to say which would be likely to catch the judge's
eye first. But I should not advise my readers to h,.! against
either Gialficy, Philip, Evenus, or the old Knight (vk ho won
it in 1843).

Nothing that has as yet been out in public„ or heard of in
private. can heat Cherokee for the Fen] hill Stake ; and the
:haw,/ gill furnish. a nict!raoe belt: e'en ;1,(-1 colt
and the beautiful Lady- Wildair. Oi. these two I pi efer the
former, merely from his stride being longer than the mare's.
Physalis or Plenitude seem to be the best for the 'Windsor
Town Plate, out of a very large field.
THURSDAY.—On this day the magnificent piece of plate,
presented by the Emperor of Russia in commemoration of
his visit, last year, to these races, will be contended for by a
field so small that I doubt not it would be. a source
of regret to the liberal donor to witness it. This race
for many years has been the cause of more grumbling and
ill-feeling than any other contest in the country. Horses
have been backed heavily by the public, and withdrawn
suddenly, without their owners condescending to afford the
slightest explanation of their conduct. If my readers recol..
leet past years, and think upon the withdrawal of Hornsea Ple-
nipotentiary, Sheet Anchor, and Alice Hawthorn, I think' they
will bear me out in the propriety of my advice, which is, not to
lay out a single farthing on any horse until they see the
figures up at the starting-post, then to back the St. Leger
winner of last year; or, if they have a fancy fur a three-year-
old, to invest a trifle on Cowl.

On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. closed at
3li for cash, and 324 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents.
at 22i for cash, and 224 at 60 days ; the Coupons at
26i for cash, and 26 at 47 days ; and the Debt without
Interest at 8i at 60 days.

The New Stakes has 49 subscribers to it ; and, as far as
public running goes for any criterion of merit, Princess Alice
or Madcap ought to win it. _

The Journal des Debats publishes an extract of a letter
from Warsaw, dated the 28th of May, which states that the
Emperor of Russu suddenly left that place on the preceding
day, owing to important intelligence received from General
WORONSOFF, who commands the army of the Czucasus.
His MAJESTY was to proceed by Kief to Odessa, and
would probably approach still nearer the theatre
of war, in which, from all accounts, he takes
the deepest interest. During his stay in the capital of Po-
land he was deeply engaged in manoeuvring the troops, and
he also passed in review the students of the different acade-
mical institutions; but no professor, says th• writer, had the
courage to tell his Majesty into what a deplorable condition
public instruction had fallen at Warsaw. The University,
formerly so flourishing, has been suppressed since the last re-
volution, and at present more than four millions of inhabi-
tants are without the means of superior instruction. The
affairs of Spain seem to excite much interest at Paris, and
according to one of the journals the Government is afraid of
some attempt being made by the refugees now in France. Queen
CIIRISTLNA'S journal, the Presse, says :—" A report is current
relative to the affairs of Spain, which we mention without
vouching for its correctness. It is rumoured that Govern-
ment have received two telegraphie dispatches, in conse-
quence of which measures have been adopted to remove to a
distance from Paris a large number of refugees belonging to
both the Carlist and Exaltado parties. We know not
whether this report be well founded; but what we know is
that for some days past, there has been here a general ren-
dezvous of Spaniards of all parties, and that the refugees
towards whom the Government have been very in-
dulgent, have been to-day in great agitation."
M. G UIZOT was expected to appear in his place in the
Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, for the first time since
his illness, and make some statement respecting the new
treaty with England for the suppression of the slave-trade.
It appears, that a meeting of the Opposition had been held at
M. THIERS' house on Sunday, on the subject, when it was re•
solved that no opposition should be made to the grant of
10,000,000 f. for fitting out the preventive fleet. The pass-
ing of the railway Bill from Paris to Avignon, which we
announced yesterday, was adopted by a majority of 230 to 4
The Committee appointed to examine the Paris and Stras-
burg Railway Bill, and also that for the Tours and Nantes
line, had nearly terminated their labours. The debate on
the Budget was to commence on Monday. No business was
done in the Funds on Sunday at TORTONI'S.

As the handicap for the Visitors' Plate is not out, I am un.
able to say more of it than that, from the number of sub-
scribers to it, it is likely to turn out an interesting race.
Lord Exeter's Tunick, from having beaten Refraction at
Newmarket for the Coffee-room Stakes, lays fair claim to be
entitled the winner of the 100 Soya. Sweepstakes.
The St. James's Palace Stakes, unless Idas is a rank im-
poster, which I cannot believe, after his winning the Two
Thousand Guineas Stakes in a canter, must go to Lord
Stradbroke, with the pride of Newmarket.
In the Swindon Stakes, should Annandale and Sweetmeat
come together, it will be a most interesting race, and ter-
minate, I imagine, in favour of the latter. Sorella, much
fancied by some for this stake, will find the weight too much
for her, at least 1 fancy so, taking her running recently into
consideration.
For the Queen's Plate, Alice Hawthorne, Cataract, and
Zanoni will start and come in in the same succession as I
have given their names.
On Friday we have the Wokingham, for which the horses
are not yet named, and—the IGO Sovs. Sweepstakes which
Keeley will walk over for.
The Chesterfield Stakes will be left solely to Wood-pigeon
and Kedger, and from the great improvement visible in the
former at Epsom, I should recommend him to the attention
of my friends.
The Borough Members' Plate looks cut out for Physalis,
and Scarmentado must naturally win the Brigade Stakes.

HYDROPHOBIA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Observing in the papers two recent cases of hydro-
phobia treated with no success, or rather left without treat-
ment, on account of the supposed impossibility of the cure,
beg the use of your valuable columns, to attract the serious
attention of the medical practitioners and the public to the fact,
that Belladonna Ryoscyamus niger Stramonium Cantharis,
Sae, properly administered, have been found very efficacious
in the treatment of rabid animals on the Continent, and that
Belladonna and Cantharis are the prophylactii (preventives)
against the hydrophobia.--I am, Sir, yours respecsfully,

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Donizetti's Favorite
was performed on Monday by the Brussels company, and in a man-
ner highly crediable to all parties concerned in it. A new soprano
singer, Madame Julien, was introduced as Leonora, and although
the pretensions of this lady are of inferior character to those of
Madame Laborde, the energy of her vocal manner and her accom-
plishments as an actress entitle her to a good position in public opi.
nion. In the last act (the cloister scene), she came out to admire.
tion, and sang the impassioned music which it contains with excel..
lent effect, throwing into it much vigour and pathos. She was well
aided by M. Laborde, whose singing, as Ferdinand, contributed to
swell the reputation which he achieved on the opening night. The
remaining characters were satisfactorily filled, and the ensemble
was excellent, for the chorus-singers, by their spirit and animation,
and by the faithful discharge of their musical duties, helped, in no
little degree, the general completeness. In the course of the opera
a pas de deux was danced by M. and Mdlle. Honore, a couple of
artists who have heels of unquestionable brilliancy.
