NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
RACINC. 
Outre, in his desire to cavil with “Tint Field," has fallen on a mare's 
nest. We shrcwdlv suspect that lie Is no such tyro In tho ways of the 
Press na to be unaware of the fact, that most of the hebdomadal 
newspapers post date their Issue by a day. He has token up our 
carlv edition ; and, we must have anticipated the latest Intelligence, 
hnd’we given the return of Friday's races at Nottingham, when we 
went to press two hours before the bell was rung for the first saddling. 
The p .per on which lie writes to us, bears the stamp “ Garrick Club." 
Covent Garden was once the famous resort of the wits of the day, 
and wc nre glad to find, that their spirit still hovers over the neigh- 
bourhood ; though the Idea of “ the old coaching days" may savour 
something of Plckford's heaviest of vans.

SATURDAY , JULY 29, 1 8 64. 
was as if a shower of iced water had suddenly descended 
upon every head. It was so clear that interfereuce had 
taken place, that everybody turned to his neighbour 
iu disgust. Had a division been forced that night, the 
Ministry would not now be in office. Lord Dudley 
Stuart gave notice that he should move an address to 
the Queen, asking that no prorogation might take place 
until further information as to the war was before the 
House. Lord John assented to a virtual adjournment, 
the wisest thing he could do, aud a showy speech from 
Lord Palmerston was not felt to have covered the 
Ministerial retreat. The next night the affair came on 
again, the ears of the Government were assailed by the 
plainest and most unpolite truths upon tho subject, and 
the House was restrained from inflicting a blow which 
would have crushed the Ministry, only by the considera- 
tion that, after such expression of feeling as had taken 
place, the Government would hardly dare to conduct the 
war in Aberdeen fashion ; whereus, by a hostile vote, 
an undesirable spectacle would be offered to Europe. 
So the vote was finally agreed to. 
Lord J. Russell and others professed belief that 
Austria would do her duty. But Lord Palmerston said 
what has ol'ten been said in “ Tiie Field,” and what is un- 
doubtedly the feeling of the nation,— namely, that so 
long as England and France were united, he did not 
care who joined or who stood aloof. 
Neither from the Danube nor the Baltic have we any 
news. The funeral of Captain Parker, who was killed 
in the apparently insignificant hut really most important 
affair at the. Sulineh mouth of the Danube, has been 
solemnised at Constantinople with deserved honours, 
in which both the French and English took a part, 
while the coffin of the deceased was borne upon a 
Turkish gun. 
The news from Spain is the only addition we have 
to make to our political column this week. The Queen, 
reduced to helplessness, has called upon Espartero to form 
a Ministry of progress, and this lias given much satisfac- 
tion for the moment. Espartero’s fault is indecision, hut 
no one can doubt his honesty. We confess, however, 
to the belief that any such arrangement can be hut 
temporary, that the Queen' will not permanently sacrifice 
her amusements to her duty, and that the throne of 
Spain will ere long he open to competition. A Monte- 
molin, a Montpensier, and a Saxe Cobourg, have all 
obtained their own consent to fill it, and that one who 
can get the trifling addition of the national assent will be 
King of Spain. We do not believe that either of the 
three can fulfil that condition. 
The Bribery Bill has nearly passed through the Com- 
mons, hut it has still difficulties to contend with, and in 
the meantime Bribery has won at Goodwood.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
There is still little news from the seat of war, but the 
war itself has been carried on at Westminster in a far 
more decided fashion than elsewhere. Lord John Rus- 
sell has demanded three millions of money, and that 
the House, having granted the Government leave to use 
it (for it is raised already), should consign the rest of the 
business to the Cabinet until February next. .Some de- 
mur was made to this, and some members said that 
though they had great confidence in the collective 
ministry, they had none in Lord Aberdeen, and would 
rather that the Government declared its intention to 
summon an Autumnal Parliament. When Lord John 
Bussell came to state his demand formally, on Mon- 
day, lie had, of course, all this in mind. So lie made an 
excellent speech, in which he stated the only terms on 
which he would make peace with Russia. One of the 
things he said — we quote the w ords for a reason — was 
this: “ There is another mode in which the position of 
Russia is menacing to the independence and integrity of 
Turkey. The establishment of a great fortress prepared 
with all the combinations of art and science , made as 
impregnable as it is possible for art and science to malic 
it, and containing within its port a very large fleet of 
line-of-battle ships, ready at any moment to come down 
with a favourable wind to the Bosphorus — that I con- 
sider is a position so menacing to Turkey, that no treaty 
of peace could he considered safe which left the Emperor 
of Russia in that same menacing position with respect 
to Turkey. ’’ This declaration, which meant — if it meant 
anything at all — that Sebastopol was to he taken before 
peace was concluded, was received with tremendous 
cheering ; and speeches after speeches complimented 
Lord John Russell upon the nojile avowal which he had 
made, after which there could be no danger in leaving 
the war to the care of the Ministry. About five hours 
passed. Meantime, Lord Aberdeen had spoken upon the 
same subject in the House of Lords, hut in so different 
and so cold a tone, that the Ministers frit that the two 
speeches could not he regarded ns harmonising. What 
intimation may have been given to Lord John we 
do not pretend to say, but it is perfectly certain that he 
was compelled to “ reconsider” his previous statement ; 
nnd when Mr. Disraeli rose, and began in his keen and 
telling style, to recapitulate what Lord John Russell had 
said, nnd to allude to the promise that Sebastopol should 
he taken, Lord John astounded the House by rising and 
interrupting the Opposition leader with the following 
words : — “ I may as well state that w hat I said was that 
I thought Russia could not he allowed to maintain the 
menacing attitude w hich she has lately done bg keeping 
so large a feet at Sebastopol 
We were in the house, and can certify that the effect
