EMBARKATION OF B A S II I - B A Z 0 U K S. 
TO THE RACING WORLD. 
TOBY PEEPS’ OPINIONS ON RACING EVENTS. 
We feel it to be a duty we owe ourselves to call particular at- 
tention to the unprecedented, sound, and almost unfailing 
opinions upon coming events, week after week communicated 
under the signature of “ Toly Peeps." Road and compare 
the certainty with which he bus picked out the winners; 
and even when unsuccessful, for “ it is not in mortals to 
command success,” it has not been an error of judgment, but 
the result of circumstances beyond human control or calcula- 
tion. This week, at Goodwood, lie lias earned a proud dis- 
tinction among the patrons of the Turf, and several sporting 
men, actiog upon his advice, have been large winners, as we 
here prove.

RECEPTION OF ESPARTERO AT MADRID. 
Espartero made his entry into the capital on the 29th ult , 
at eight o’clock, a. m., by the Porte Alcala. The wide 
street which bore that name, and which is for the future to 
be called the Calle del Duque do la Victoria, was filled with 
a compact crowd, and every window was occupied. The 
infantry wore a blouse, tightened round the waist, and a 
foraging cap adorned with green ribbon, bearing the words, 
“The Constitution, or Death !” Troops of the line accom- 
panied the cortege , and General San Miguel, on horseback, 
was by the side of Espartcro’s open carriage. There were 
also three or four other carriages, in which were seated 
some superior officers, wearing their uniforms and decora- 
tions ; a deputation of the junta, and another of the muni- 
cipal council of Madrid. Tliis latter body had also sent its 
mace-hearers in grand costume of crimson velvet, laced 
with gold, and cap of similar velvet and white plumes. They 
were four in number, and rode in an open carriage. It was 
not without great difficulty that the horses and carriages 
could get through the immense multitude, particularly near 
the Puerta del Sol, where the street becomes considerably 
narrower. The acclamations in honour of Espartero were 
deafening, and the multitude seemed to want to take 
him from his carriage and embrace him. At the 
corner of the Puerta del Sol, and of the Rue 
d'Acala, a number of white pigeons were let go, 
ornamented with green ribbons. In tho Rue Major 
it was really thought Espartero would be suffocated under 
the mass of flowers which were flung down on him. Espar- 
tero, standing erect in the carriage, responded to the en- 
thusiastic reception thus given him by opening his arms, 
bowing to the right and left, and then closing his arms on 
his heart. 
The cortege arrived about nine o’clock at the court of tho 
palace. Espartero then alighted, and went up to Queen’s 
apartments, the crowd being 6o thick a6 almost to prevent the 
door of the carriage from opening. The acclamations con- 
tinued alter his entrance into the palace, and redoubled at the 
moment it was thought he must have arrived in the presence 
of the Queen. But without doubt the people reckoued on 
having some share in the interview, for after about a quarter 
of on hour cries arose of “ Al balcon ! ” and every eve was 
directed towards tho grand balcony of the royal presence- 
chamber, the blinds of which remained pitilessly closed. The 
interval was prolonged in this way for half an hour, and at 
the moment Espartero made his eppearance botow to get into 
his carriage, tho Queen showed herself at the balcony just 
mentioned. The whole of the crowd then turned towards her 
with enthusiastic cries of “ Viva la Reina ! ” “ Viva la Reina 
Con6titucional! ” 
On the evening of the 29th ult. General O’Donnell arrived 
at the residence of Espartero. The two Generals then pre- 
sented themselves on the balcony, whence Espartero ad- 
dressed the multitude. lie then embraced O’Donnell. Both 
went to the Palace, where Espartero took the oaths as 
President of the Council, in the presence of the Queen. 
The Queen-Mother was still at Madrid, but it was believed 
that on the following day (the 31st) she would set out for 
Portugal. 
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. 
THURSDAY -Lords.— The Bribery Bill was read n second time. It 
was understood that in committee tho Duke of Newcastle would pro- 
pose an amendment limiting the duration of the measure to two years. 
Commons. — Sir G. Urey, remarking that a motion had been placed on 
the paper by Sir J. l’aklngton calling attention to the circumstances 
under which Mr. Lawley had been appointed Governor of South Austra- 
lia, proceeded to state that Sir. Lawley had been selected for the go- 
vernorship of the colony by the Duke of Newcastle, he (Sir G. Grey) 
felt himself justified in recommending her Majesty to authorise his 
appointment. It was known that Mr. Lawley had been connected with 
the turf, but under circumstances which reflected no discredit upon him, 
and which had left no liabilities behind them. Subsequently, however, 
rumours reached the Duke of Newcastle, and were by him communicated 
to himself, touching some alleged transactions on the Stock Exchange 
in which it was said Mr. Lawley had engaged while holding the respon. 
siblc position of private secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer- 
By Mr. Law ley's own confession, he had learnt that those rumours 
were partially well founded, and though In his speculations that gentlc- 
mun lmd made no use of official secrets, and indeed, had lost by them, 
lie had felt it to bo his painful duty to recommend the Queen to recall 
his appointment to the colonial governorship in question. 
Sir J. Paklngton acknowledged the candour of the explanation offered 
by the Secretary for the Colonics. 
Mr. V. Smith suggested thnt a system of promotion should be estab- 
lished, and that functionaries who had tried their hands successfully 
upon colonies should be solected for the more Important governor- 
ships. 
The subject then dropped, and ;tho House went into Committee of 
W ay s and Means. 
The Militia (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. 
The clauses of the Public Revenue and Consolidated Fund Charges 
(No. 2) Bill were all agreed to without discussion. 
Mr. Spooner moved that the Maynooth grant should be included among 
the items to be removed from tho Consolidated Fund, and included nmong 
the annual votes. 
I hc Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed the motion.* 
Mr. Disraeli supported the motion respecting the Maynooth grant 
Mr. Newdegate contended that as Oxfoid University was subject to 
Parliamentary control, the same measure ought in justice to be dealt to 
the Maynooth establishment. 
The committee then divided— 
For the motion .. . • .. 43 
Against .. .• •• 108 — 05 
Tho bill then passed through committee, and was ordered to be 
reported; 
The Court of Chancery Bill went through committee. 
The Medical Graduates (Ireland and Scotland) Bill was withdrawn. 
The House having resolved into committee on the Customs Acts 
a scries of resolutions fixing the customs' duiies on various articles for 
the present year were agreed to. The only alteration of importance was 
the reduction of the duty on hops, from £2 0s. to £1 per cwt., which 
met with some opposition, but was carried on a division by 01 to 21 
The House adjourned.

OXFORD v. BALDEN. 
A well contested match was played on the Baldm Gro und< 
on Tuesday week, between tho Oxford City and tho Bulden 
Clubs, which ended in the defeat of the Oxonians, their oppo- 
nents having threo wickets to go down. The unevenness of 
the ground, made it u very difficult mutter for the Oxfoid 
long-stop, hence the great number of byes which led to their 
I defeat.
