i early. ii front 81 Morleyss Hotel long line Of
vehicles of every description are drawn up. We
are ready for our friends, true English sportsmen,
who have invited rs 10 the Derby, and who are to
act as our guides. Up dash four splendid bays,
with outriders, drawing with them coach, me top
of which is covered with genial crowd Inc I'D.
terror is full. but notof human flesh; hampers OF
every size are slowed away in its interior. Bnt
| your correspondent mounted there was just room
for more passenger to squeeze in on the second
| top seat We are off; merrily and glorieusly we
| dash over the pavements towards the Waterloo
Bridge; every vehicle We meet is loaded. The
hanson driver has even decorated his sorry nag
with blue rusettes, There aces tendem of splen-
did dappied grays, driven by my lord some one in
splendid style: next comes grave, dignihed gem
tlemcn, driving pair of ponies and chaise, in
which are seated tive lovely English girls in white
muslin and blue ribbands Chats the Derby style);
next follow dozen equestrians, dashing along as
if they bore dispatches Of State Importance; then
there are carts Of every imaginable description
some are even driving donkeys. But every one is in
q good hnmor, and every one seems mad The dust
is terrible, the crush is frightful Together, stage
coaches, noblemen's carriages, hacks, dog carts,
chaises. broughams, coupes and hansoms, All push
forward. All through the country and along the road
everything looks bright; at every cottage the &C.
cupants are dressed in holiday attire and expect
some tribute from the passers by. The fields look
as only English fields look stretch Of endless
4 green, decorated and glittering with the golden
cowslip and buttercup, while the hawthorne hedges
| are perfect and frame the landscape. But we are
u
scented. The whole country looks black with peo-
pie and vehicles the grand stand with tile flag of
England floating above it, is covered with galaxy
of beauty And so for two hours we waited. By
every road the crowd Of vehicles and carriages
poured in; titled dukes and lords dashed in with
all their magnificent retinues, but everybody was
good humored all was equality today. The rail
road increased the crowd by thousands every hour
BY 8 o'clock there must have been nearly $50, 600
people and at least 10000 vehicles of various de-
scriptions on the ground. Nearly all the nobility
Of England were there, and 50 were all the pick
pockets. Gambling in all Its varied aspects was
pursued, to the delight Of the knowing ones and
the sorrow of the greenhorns, who are always
fedged on such day. But stop; there is hurry
and movement: the horses are saddling. There
are the riders, bearing the distinctive colors Of
their masters. There is Wells, one of the best
riders in England he mounts Largesse, fine FLY
belonging to Sir Joseph Hawley, and wears the
cherry colored jacket and black velvet cap which
designate him in the race. Then comes an ugly
colt called Horror sired by Wild Dayreli. Snow
den rides him, and may be distinguished by his
black Jacket, white belt and black and white cap.
But here comes colt equally as ugly, bony and
strong, with fine broad shoulders and his coat as
polished as silk; he is ridden by Fordham, the
finest jockey ia England that boy has won many
race; he is dressed in Grange silk, with black
belt and orange colored cap. Those are the colors
of TenBroeck, and the horse he rides isT Umpire,
on whom the Americans look with so much anxiety.
Now for Thormamby, sired by Melbourne: he is
az lively MS deer Custance rides him. and wears

Here comes the favorite, as pretty piece Of
lcrsetiesh az ever the eye lighted on. When he
strips bis friends raise shout Of delight. He |
looks hike Derby winner, though he looks hardly |
som course; but we shall see. Wizard was sired |
by West Australian one Of the noblest horses Eng
land ever raised. French rides him, and Is dressed
in blue, with scarlet sleeves and blue cap. Then
there are various others; Earl Derby's colors are
black, with white cap Lord Paimerston's green, |
with orange cap: Baron Rothschd's, dark blue |
and yellow cap. Lord Derby entered Cape Fly |
away, Lord Palmerston Mainstone, and Baron |
Rothschild Restes. Others had jackets of green,
white, pink, cherry, chocolate and brown. Your
readers can thus form notion of the picturesque I
effect produced by thirty horses, with their mounted
riders, all waiting eagerly for the start. Every
iety there are thousands who, in few minutes, |
will be left almost beggared, while others will |
add thousands and thousand to their fortunes. I
On Umpire is staked the most. MIR. Tattersall III. /
formed me he believed the amount Of money that |
would change hands on Umpire would reach |
nearly million pounds. The bell rings-they are
on What rush !! what o mob Of horses! what |
hustle Only mile and a half. Where is the |
greens' shouts one. aWhere is the blues'' shouts |
another. But the Americans are eagerly looking |
for the colors OF Umpire. g Where is the orange
jacket2-where Is Fordham, with his black belt |
and orange eap?" There is cloud of dust in |
front all il obsenred- the millions are hanging in |
the halancethe anxiety still lasts Bets are made
wildly, curses are uttered loudly, and then then
there is shout, aud that shout carries dismay to
the hearts of the Americans, for Umpire is mo- |
where 1t is mpossible.'' say all Of us; {. there
Is some trickery. But the train is waiting to carry
US to Southampton, and we hive not a moment to |
lose. Thormamby Is the winner, Wizard is the sec
ond, and Horror, who was thought nothing Of is |
third; while Umpire was, think, eleventh. Tho |
Judgment OF every one was at fault-all the pre-.
dictions and calculations made were erroneous and |
all stayed in England for resulted in dsappont-
ment. In one hour and fifty minutes l was in |
southampton, ready to embark on the Vanderbilt. |
Mr.. TenBraeek, during the race, wore face as
calm as su.,,iner, and when the announcement
made his GOODNESS was the same. He lost no |
money, but gained nearly 100000. OF course there
will be many inquiries made as to the causes of
tile defeat of Umpire, and so badly. The loss to
Americans Is very severe. So much confidence |
was placed in his abilities by Engshmen that they |
were sure Of winning. We shall perhaps soon
know the cause

TURIN, May 10, 1S60-Besides tile Bishop Of Pa
enza and the Vicar OF Bologna, proceedings are
being taken against the Bishop of Imola The
Archbishop Of Pisa having refused to submit to the
orders Of the Government, is to be conveyed by
force to Turin. ~
The Turin correspondent of The London News,
under date Of May 81 says: Yesterday we saw
here the Archbishop Of Florence, Cardinal Corsi,
and the Archbishop Of Pisa together with the two
Bishops Of ln,ola and Faenza, at the Home Office. |
They. were summoned to.appear and to declare
whether they were willing to acknowledge the |
sovereignty Of the King in frank and loyal way |
they hesitate preyalicate, they will be sent to
Fenestrelle and tried By the competent courts of
Justice. The Archbishops Of Piaeenza and of
Parma preferred to save themselves by flying to |
the Austrian dominions those of Milan Ravenna |
and Bologna are dead and those OF Turin and |
Caghari had left the kingdom long since, at the
time OF the passing of the Sccardi law, which made
the priests amenabe TO criminal proceedings be-
fore lay courts of Justice. Thus little by little the
bishops and archbishops disappeared in the new
kingdom, and still people maintain that Italy will
entirely avoid the religious question.
The committee appointed by the Chamber of
Deputies to consider the treaty Of the 2Ith of
March, have had a conference with Count Cayour
As regards the questions of the boundary the
public debt, and the railways Of Savoy, Count Ca
your declared that negotiations were still pending
with France, but that nothing had been definitely
settled The committee then demanded the pur-
pose and the influence of the treaty upon the future
position of Italy. The Minister replied that the
treaty was greyous necessity.
GRops in NORTHERN LoUIsrANA.-The Claiborne
Advocate of the 30th says:
The corn crop of this parish, rs general thing,
is reported TO us as looking unusually promising
for this season of the year, and an abundant crop
is confidently expected should we be blessed with
a few more refreshing showers. Cotton is rather
backward, but Is doing very well. The wheat and
oat crop of the parish are almost entire failures,
the former being cut of by the cold winter, and
the latter by the dry spring. The fruit crop will
be very superior and of extensive variety.
