GREAT BRITAIN.
In the House of Commons on the oath, on the
motion of Lord Palmerston, committee of ten was
appointed to inspect the journals of the House o
Lords for any proceedings upon the rejection of the
bill repeating the paper duty. The committee sub
sequenty reported, pro formG, that they found the
Lords had rejected the bill in question, and Lord
Pamerston then gave notice that he would move
Tor the appointment of committee to search for
precedents.
Lord John Russell stated, in reply to inquiry
by Mr.. hIngiake, that government had throughout
supported the demand of the Swiss Government for
conference of the Great Powers, and would con-
tnue to do so until Switzerland withdrew the de-
mand Mr.. Laing moved for vote of credit on
account of the civil service estimates, which, after
some strong opposition, agreed to. The oppO-
suon members pressed upon government the ne
cesslty OF proceeding in a regular way with the
Inmates, and it is supposed that their intention is
stave off the further consideration of the Reform
Dill until the estimates passed. ana thereby kill
the measure for this session. The Times says that
the above proceedings have virtually decided the
abandonment of the Reform bill, although some
time may elapse before the measure is finally
given up.
On the 25th, in the House of Commons, the ac-
tlon OF the Lords on the bill repeating the paper
duty was debated, and committee of twenty one
was appointed to search for precedents. The con-
Duct OF the Neapolitan Government was debated,
ana Lord PamerstOn denounced it in the strongest
terms, as entirely government of the police.
Inc work of getting the Great Eastern ready for
sea was proceeding vigorously, and it conf
uenty asserted that she would be ready by the day
named Tor her departure for New York, the 9th of
June. Many improvements had been made in the
details of the great ship. The London Morning
Chronicte raises warning voice against overtra-
ding in the gut of cotton, and predicts heavy losses
through irresponsible traders
The mysterious bark, Charles B. Truitt, which
had been lying at Queenstown for several months,
with cargo of rifles from America, had left
Queenstown for Liverpool. She freighted by
the Garibaldi Committee in New \ oTk, but having
arrived after the war was over she remained at
Queenstown awaiting orders from the States. 1t
was considered likely that Garihaldi's move
ment had led to her departure
THE RACE FOR THE EPSON DERBY.
On Wednesday, the 23d May, was decided, on the
downs OF Surrey, the most important race on the
English turt-the great EPSON Derby.
The Derby this year had peculiar interest for
Americans, in consequence of Mr.. Ten Brock hav
ing an American bred horse, Umpire, engaged in
1t, whose success in the race was warmly desired
In this country. Umpire is a chestnut colt by Le-
comte out of Alice Carneal by imported Sarpedon,
out of ROwena by Sumpter, and was bred on the
farm OF A. keene Richards, Esq, Georgetown,
kentucky He was purchased by Mr. Ten Brock
as yearling, and sent to England last spring
to be trained in his stable at Newmarket His first
appearance on the turf was at the Newmarket
Craven meeting for ESQ plate, in which race he
was not placed. He next ran in a match for 100
sovereigns with Sir Joseph Hawley's Twanr in
which race he was beaten by head At the
Goodwood meeting in July, he won the nursery
stakes, one mile, beating a field of twenty horses
by seven lengths. He continued his victorious
career by winning the Cleveland stakes and Zetland
biennial stakes, at Stockton onTees, beating rod
heldS. These performances, Joined to his racing
like form, caused him to become the first favOrte
Tor the Derby. Indeed, such was his mature ap-
pearance, that after winning at Goodwood, the
owner OF the second horse objected to his receiving
the stakes, on the ground of his being a three-year
old. This objection referred to the Jockey
Club, the tribunal of all racing disputes and Mr. en-
Broeck produced such convincing evidence of its
talsy, that the decision favor of Umpire being
the age represented. BY the trainers at Newmarket
he was pronounced "Derby horse all over" and
some idea may be formed of the high estimate en-
tertalned OF his racing Abilities from the fact that
he,was backed to win the Derby for upwards of a
million of dollars. The Americans bet freely and
heavily on him, and good deal of money was sen
from New \ ork to invest on him for this race Mr.
Ten Brock it is said, backed him before GOodwood
at the odds of one hundred to one, for the sum of
$4,000, thus standing to win half million of dol
lars on him, in case of his success But the golden
rule of racing men is, always 'to win and not lose
and this object is obtained by the process termed
a ITIn g,rlaY l.
lite, and freely backed by the public at five to
one, Mr.. Ten Brock could, and doubtless did bet
100000 to 100000 against him, and thus be in the
agreeable position of wning $780, 900 i he was sue
cesstul, and $4,000 if he lost. The position he
could only obtain in the race (the sixth borse) .
shows that either he not in fit condition for
such severe contest as the Derby, or that he was
over estimated. Last year Thormandy started
fourteen times, and won nine races, beating gOoo
horses. Exceedingly popular on the turf, it is no
wonder that Mr.. Merry's success was hailed with
immense cheering by the assembled thousands who
witnessed the race. He has steadily and pluckily
supported his horse in the betting throughout the
winter, and his winnings must consequently be
enormous. His liberality to his trainers and inc-
keys is matter Of notorety, and he has been
known to make present of one thousand guineas
to one OF the latter when he won the Doncaster
st. Leger.
The following is a description of the race:
In compliance with the excellent regulation
which required the horses to be saddled and mount
ed a quarter of an hour before the hour appointed
for the start, time not cut to waste by needless
displays in front of the stand. The horses gaoped
up and not down the course, and conducted
by Mr.. Hibburd to the post with the greatest pune
tualitv. They quietly quilted the paddock, pro.
ceeded in Indian file along the paiings to the right
and then wheeled round and descended into the
little valley just before the starting post in a clus-
ter. The police, who had been sent for to assist
Startling to clear the at that point, had not
arrived, and therefore, several people in the
way, and this circumstance caused Mr.. Hibburd
prudently to wait until their arrival and the course
was perfectly clear. Hence the first and only break
ing away, which the spectators deemed false
start but which was caused by the pardonable
anxiety to get off on the part of the Jockeys, who
seeing themselves well together, fancied that Mr.
Hibburd might at once give the signal. Lepro-
chaun, brother to Rainbow, Tiger, Umpire, and
The Rap were amongt the first lot that got away,
but they only short distance up the hill and
returned to the post without delay. After a little
turning about, the thirty competitors were soon
gotwelI under command, and when the starter drop
ped his flag table cloth would have covered the lot
The frontrank comprised Bentinck, Man at Arms,
NutbOurne, Rising Sun and Restes; Sutton, LOiter
er, Largfsse and Wallace, who were not quite so
quick on their legs as the others, being lett in the
rear. Indeed, Wallace plunged forward as soon
the flag dropped, and nearly came down on his
head. As they breasted the hill past Sherwoods
house, Bentinck went ahead at his best pace, and
held lead of quite half dozen lengths. The
prominent part which he played, however, was of
brief duration, and his eXertions to force the run
ming early in the were brought to an end at
the top of the hill-abOut half a me-and his col
ors gradually disappeared in the shifting glisten-
ing mass of those worn by the ruck. On the re-
tirement of Bentinck, Restes took up the running,
and in BODY at his heels were Nutbourne Hor-
ror, Rising Sun, Man-at Arms, Brother to Rain
bow, Buccaneer, Tom Bowline, Umpire, the
Wizard and Dangu. As they streamed down the
hill at great pace, the colors glisened in the sun
with dazzling brilliancy, and the scene at that
point could only be likened to cataract of many
colored waters Nutbourne, pulling hard, held a
good place next to the rails, and was head
to head with Restes, with Umpire (who bad twice
nearly knocked Thormanby to his head,) the
Wizard Tom Bovine, Horror Thormanby, and
by side) next, with Dangu at the head of
the next lot. Halfway down the hill Nut
bourne broke down and was placed hors de
combat and in few strides further Restes resigned
his lead to the Wizard and Tom BOwline went aft.
The Wizard then carried on the running, and was
going well that the people of that point, and,
indeed, those who could see him from the stand,
raised simultaneous shout of the ''favorite wins"
Umpire in the middle OF the course. Thormanby on
the higher ground, Horror and Dangu were now
left the only attendants the Wizard. Before
reaching the distance the shout of the "Americans
beatn' raised, and it truly indicated the posi-
tion in which Umpire was placed, and tina Snow
den's liberal application of whipcord would have
no effect. just inside the distance Custance took
hold of Thormanby's head, and gave him one cut
with the whip; the horse Immediately sprang for
ward, and the Wizard who had seemingly been
going within himself until he began to climb the
hill to finish, had scarcely an effort left to struggle
with, and Thormanby quilted him at his ease, and
easily by length and a half Horror passed
Dangu about the half distance, and beat him by
four lengths for third place, precisely similar dis
tance separating him from the Wizard Clear oi
