how England, and more especially its manufacturing districts,
are to be supplied with food moat steadily and plentifully.
We like not that catholic church principles should be linked
to anything that looks like covetousness or monopoly. In
theory they are eminently self-denying and popular. From
the days of Thomas-à-Becket downwards, true churchmen
have always been of the party of the poor, and the pour have
or ought to have been their friends. The poor mourned the
destruction of the monasteries ; it was the grasping or dis-
solute courtier or aristocrat of the day who urged on their
abolition, that he might appropriate the spoils. The seven
bishops were of the party of the people; and history tells us
that the Tory and High Churchman of the reigns of Charles
the Second and Queen Anne had the popular voice with
them. How must the church have tnisconducted itself of
late years to have lost this prestige! Even 110 W, it is the
purse-proud millowner and shopkeeper who would uphold
the abomination of pews and pew-rents, and refuse to open
our churches to the poor, who sneerat the offertory, whoop-
pose the daily and early prayer iu the church, who grudge the
ornaments and decorrtion of the church of God, because it. is
a house of prayer for all people, who would abridge or refuse
to recognise the holidays and lawful recreations of the people,
and who oppose their education in the truth, lest it should
cut short their ill-gotten gains.—Englisir Churchman.

MANCHNSTER.—The general opinion is, that this week a
very small amount of business has been done, but we know
that several large houses have been making contracts for the

autumn in printing cloth (and stocks being light) at the prices
current for the last two or three weeks. The yarn market is
very inanimate, and prices have rather a downward tendency.
At this season of the year prices are generally low ; but both
printers and manufacturers being light in stock, it would not
surprise us, after the Whit-week, if printing cloth advanced

STATISTICS OF TIM DERBY.—Wednesday was the G3d
anniversary of this celebrated race, it having been established
in 1780, when it was won by Sir C. Bunbury's Diomed,
beating eight others. On that occasion there were but 36
entries.
while this year they amounted to 161. being 22 less
than last year. It would appear that it was some years be-
fore this race became popular with the patrons of the turf,
for during the first seven years of its existence the entries
dwindled from 36 to 29, and from that period until the pre-
sent year they have been gradually increasing. The lowest
number of horses that ever started was in 1794, when Lord
Grosvenor won with Medalus, four only coming to the post;
and the highest number in 1833. when Mr. Sadler's Dar-
ous carried off the prize. 23 starting. During the last 16
years the average number of horses that have started is 23.
Eight years alter the race was established, the Prince of
Wales won the stakes with Sir Thomas. The Duke of York
was a winner twice—in 1816 with Prince Leopold, and in
1822 with Moses. Sir F. Standish was the first gentleman
who won the race two years in succession, in 1795 with
Spread Eagle, and the following year with Didelot. fhe
Duke of Grafton and Lord Egremont were also winners two
successive years, the former in 1809 with Pope. and the next
year with Whalebone •' the latter in 1804 with Hannibal, and
in 1805 with Cardinal Beaufort. The Duke of Grafton was a
winner of four, and Lord Egremont of five races. The
former nobleman was the last winner of the Derby two years
successively. The Duke of Bedford was a winner on three
occasions; in 1789 with Skyscraper. 1791 with Eager, and
1797 with a colt by Fidget. Lord Grosvenor also won three
races : in 1794) with Rhadamanthus, 1792 with John Bull,
and 1794 with Medal's. The Dukes of Ruiland and Port-
land were not so fortunate, being winners of only one Derby
each, the former in 1828 with Cadland, and the latter in 1819
with Tiresais. Lord Jersey was a winner of three race.: in
1825 with Middleton, 1827 with Mameluke, and in 1836 with
Bay Middleton. Mr. O'Kelly. the owner of the celebrated
Eclipse, was a winner in 1781 (the second year of the race,)
with Young Eclipse, and in 1784 with Sergeant, Eclipse
being the sire of both horses. The only horse that ever won
the Derby and St. Leger in one year (1800) was Champion,
the property of the late Mr. Wilson.
