Vational Outpouring of Royalty, Aristocracy and the Democratic Millions. The Most Brilliant Scene Ever Wit- nessed on the Grounds, Muster at the Post, the Start, the Running and Victory. ‘CREMORNE THE WINNER tims, Two Minutes and Forty-five and a Half Seconds. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALO, The following special despatch to the \Henarp has been received from our corre- Ppondent in the capital of Great Britain: — Lonpoy, May 29, 1872. , The race for the Derby was won by Cre- orne, the property of Captain Saville. ci SCENE ON THE DOWNS—NATIONAL H REFUTATION OF ‘THE HUGHES’ HERESY. \ Never before in the history of the great turf event was there a larger assem- lage of people, of all classes, on Epsom Downs sc was gathered there to-day. The popular enthusiasm which was maintained early morning to the finale, and shown jafter the announcement of the result, wasa ronouncement of citizen rebuke to the attempt jmade by Tom Hughes in the House of Com- ‘mons, on Tuesday evening, to throw dis- \oredit on the racing sport festival, and to ‘prevent the temporary adjournment of the ‘Parliament, on motion of the Premier, with the view of permitting the members leisure for its enjoyment. The royal family of England was well and (worthily represented on the ground—although ithe Prinoe and Princess of Wales were absent— wby the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Arthur. f There was an unusual turnout of the no- pility and gentry. OUTPOURING OF THE PEOPLE. Before and after day dawn the exodus of the population from the city commenced, and the roads were crowded with vehicles of every description, from the four-in-hand to the ‘fashionable drag, and from the squire’s trap fo the costermonger’s cart, which had been Drought into requisition to convey the mass of Memocratic humanity. AMUSEMENTS ON THE ROAD. The increased facilities for railway travel, ‘which the people now enjoy, diminished, to some extent, the glories of the ‘‘road’’ in going from London, but the weather being very fine Py cavalcade of Cockney sportsmen held high carnival in continuous crowded stream, and | ‘the enjoyment of universal mirth and merri- | ment all along the line from the great metropo- Us to Epsom, a distance of sixteen miles. A DAZZLING DISPLAY. ‘ The finished scene, which was presented in the field just previous to the start, was grand in the extreme. The stands were filled ‘to overflowing, and the crowds, or clouds, of carriages, with ladies elegantly and gayly ‘dressed, made a rural picture which was won- erfully fine. I remarked that blue was the prevailing ‘color in the toilettes of the female spectators, and pretty much also among the men on horse- pack. When the hour for the race approached the concourse of spectators was tremendous. Among the number were the most prominent ‘Englishmen of the day, together with many ‘notable persons from other countries, including | Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, the American prima donna. CONDITION OF THE TURF. The turf was in the most splendid condition. THE 8sTART. There were twenty-three starters. Winslow | was the only animal withdrawn from the | entry. He was kicked in the morning, and tthe great jockey, Fordham, who has never won | pre Derby, thus lost a mount. \ The horses were brought to the stand in | \good order. | { Tho signal for the start being given, all | sent off in good order at the first attempt. The pace was, at the mo- ‘ment, what is termed slow When fhe horses fairly settled down to the work ‘Westland, Prince Charlie, Almoner and Cre- fmorne came ont from the heap. Prince ‘Charlie fell into the crowd again going up the | hill to the furzes, and in the furzes Westland, | [Wenlock and Cremorne. Rounding Tatten- ham Corner, into the straight line, Cremorne pook & prominent place, and improved his position, attended by Brother to Flurry and (Messenger from o distance. The race was Confined to the first three. Brother to Flurry made a fierce struggle and was beaten Jby a head. The race was finely contested to the finish. | THE RACE. The following is the summary of the run- ing: — ‘The Dumsy SraKes of 50 eovs. cach, half forfeit; for NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 80, ¥872—TRIPLE SHEET, colts, & stone 10 fbs., and filtics § stone 5 ibs., then three years old; about @ mile and a half; the owner of the second horse to receive 300 sovs., and the third 150 sova. out of the stakes (191 sub- acribers).

Maidment was the jockey of Cremorne, Challoner of Brother to Flurry, and French of Queen’s Messenger. THE TIME. The time was two minutes and forty-five and a half seconds, So closely was the race contested that Cro- morne won by only a head. EXCITEMENT DURING THE STRUGGLE AND SALU- TATION FOR THE VICTOR. Cheer upon cheer broke the air as tho differ- ent jockeys urged their steeds forward in hopes of being the first at the stand, and when Cremorne came in ahead the enthusiasm was unparalleled, FREEDOM FROM AOOIDENT. No accident whatever ocourred to mar the general pleasure of the day. METROPOLITAN COMMENTS, All the accounts received in the city from the Downs this evening agree in stating that the crowd of spectators at the race was the largest ever seen on Derby Day. A point of great interest is whether Prince Charlie is a roarer and could compass the distance and difliculties of the Derby. He run the Two Thousand Guineas on a flat course, beating Cremorne and Messengor, but here on the Derby he never got to the front, NELLIE GRANT IN PARIS. eee Her Quict Stay im the French Capital— Inventions of the Paris Press Concern- ing Her Movements. Paris, May 11, 1872. Miss Nellie Grant is staying at the Hotel Meurice, in the Rue de Rivoli, with Mr. and Mrs. Borio, and has not appeared much in public since her arrival at Paris, The unfavorable state of the weather has interfered much with sight-seeing during the last two weeks. The mouth of May, generally so pleasant in Paris, has been this year exceedingly disagreeable, At no other period of the year has the garden of the Tuileries ordinarily amore lovely and pleasing aspect than just now, when the chest- nut tree is in blossom. The residence at Meurice in pleasant weather, therefore, would be one of the loveliest imaginable, but as an indoor residence that old hotel ranks among the most comfortless of the Parisian caravansaries. Miss Grant, however, Says she is perfectly contented, and DEVOTES ALL HER TIME TO SHOPPING. This interesting occupation of the young lady has been spoken of as providing a trousseau; but 1 be- lieve there is no marriage on the tapis, and that Miss Grant is simply devoting herself to the ordl- nary process of laying in a stock of dry goods, such as ladies usually find at the Bon-Marché or other kindred establishments. Whenever I have an op- portunity of “assisting,” as an involuntary witness of such a pursuit, Iam unable to suppress a feeling of utter bewildorment. OurJadies seem to have no compassion whatsoever for the poor salesman, and yet American ladies are looked upon as angels when compared with English ladies in a French store. In the next place my wonderment rests with the extravagant prices which all American ladies are willing to pay for goods purchased in Paris. Surely they never calculate the amount of freight charged for carrying their trunks, nor the duty payable on arrival at New York, Add these items to the loss of time, the trouble and the risk of bringing home the goods well conditioned, and I feel perneien that on selecting the same class of goods in a Broadway store and purchasing them at a time when really Wanted immense savings could be effected. AN AMERICAN DINNER PARTY. General Meredith Read, the United States Consul General at Paris, gave last week a dinner to Mr. and Mrs. Borie and Miss Grant. They met a select party of American friends and a few French, ee latter was Madame Rémusat, the lady of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This accidental meeting has been exploited by the Paris! press. Miss Grant accompanied her friends on a visit to Versailles on Sunday last, when the “Grands Kaux’”’ were displayed. PRESENTED TO MME. THIERS. Mme. Rémusat, who was in the grounds to wit- ness the display, which takes place only once a | month, happened to meet Miss Grant and her party, | when she took advantage of the occasion to pre- sent them to Mrs, Thiers and her sister, Mile. Dosue. The latter ladies, of course, are at all times the ob- served of ail observers, and the accidental meeting did not escape the watchful reporters of some of the sensational newspapers. PARISIAN BOHEMIANS. The next day a eters appeared, and has since gone the round of all papers tn France, that Miss Grant had breakfasted with Mr. and Mrs, Thiers, Another paper, unwilling to remain without an invention of its own, respectfully informed the | pate that Miss Grant had accompanied Mme, fhiers in around of visits; finally went with the President's wife to the National-Assembly, where during the sitting she received the homage of a large number of Deputies, All this was out of the whole cloth. Owing to the absence of Mrs. Washburne no reception had taken place; the pro- ceedings as described were, therefore, entirely against the rules of etiquette ; but even this did not stand in the way. Another mythical report relates to a ball which, it was egos, would be given in honor of Miss Grant at the Hotel de Louvre or the Grand Hotel. No such thing has ever been contem- plated so far as I can learn, nor has Miss Grant the slightest desire to be the victim of a lionizing pub- lic. Everybody is aware that she counts barely seventeen summers, and her sweet seventeen she | carries with a modesty and a retired, yet easy and | graceful manner, Which do her great credit. MRS, WASHBURNE RETURNED LAST NIGHT from Bonn, on the Rhine, purposely to meet her friends, and to.morrow, Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Borie and Miss Grant will dine at the residence of the American Minister. are M. de Rémusat, the Minister of Forei and his wife, and several other officials; Mrs. Hoffman and Admiral Alden. THE GREEK BRIGAND STORY CONTRADICTED. GREEK CONSULATE, New York, May 29, tara. } To tue Epiror or THE HERALD:— Several of the morning and evening papers have published, ia the last two or three days, a state- ment, taken from an Italian paper, that seven criminals have been shipped from Greece to New Orleans on board the Italian vessel Agamemnon, which, as it is stated, left Corfu on the 24th of April. The whole story {8 a monstrous fabrication. I have papers from Greece to the 9th of May, and not aword of the above story is mentioned. In the first place, we have no penal establishment in Corfu, except an ordinary prison, nor quarries, where the alleged criminals were working. It is well Among the invited gnests n Affairs, ‘olonel and known that seven of the brigands who | participated in the murder of the English | at Dilessi were guillotined at the time, and the rest of the band of Takos took refuge in | Turkey, Where they wander ever since. The dis- tinct mention of names by the italian paper is no roof of the correctness of its story, and I never heard such names in Greece. The Minister of Jus- tice cannot Mberate criminals, and even the King cannot grant them an amnesty if they are convicted for murder. Deportation for criminals is not even mentioned by our laws, nor have we asingle ex- ample of such an act having taken place before. Iv is to be regretted that some of your contem- Porartes republish stortes like the above, on the Merest rumor. This, which has been served up lately to this intelligent Reopie, has no more foun- dation than that published in August last, that Athens was be: d by forty brigands, while since SPAIN. Loyalist Indignation Against Amnesty to Insur- gents—American Diplomacy. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. MADRID, May 29, 1872. Adespatch from Bilboa says that the action of Marshal Serrano in granting full pardon to all the insurgents in Biscay who voluntarily surrender causes great indignation among the residents of that city. There is much excitement, and the in- habitanta are manifesting their disapproval of Ser- rano’s leniency. AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS. A Medley of Opinions—Tossing the Names of General Grant and Horaee Greeley im the Air—The Convention at Atlanta, June 26. AvGusta, Ga., May 29, 1872. A large meeting of the democrats of Richmond county was held this evening to nominate dele- gates to the State Convention, which meets in Atlanta June 26. Judge LINTON STEPHENS advocated the nomina- tion of a democratic candidate for President, as he saw no choice between Grant and Greeley. Geveral Wriaur would abide by the action of the National Convention, but in any event he would bis Greeley in preference to Grant. . W. HILLIARD endorsed the liberal platform and favored the nomination of Greeley, Other speakers endorsed the liberal movement. Resolutions were unanimously adopted favoring Spats with any party which will secure local f-government, the subordination of the military to the civil authority, the preservation un- impaired of habeas corpus and the checking of the centralizing tendencies of the federal government; that all other subjects of political contention are insignificant in comparison with these, and that no dictate of principle or honor forbids the alliance of the democratic party with the other assailants of the common enemy, or requires the democratic party to prefer certain defeat to partial victory. ‘This isthe first important demo- cratic meeting in Georgia, and is regarded as an index of popular opinion in the State. REV, DR. HUSTON, The Ecclesiastical Court Almost at a Standstill, Owing to the Non-Attend. ance of Witnesses. BaLrmmore, Md., May 29, 1872. The case of Rev. Dr. Huston was resumed this Morning at nine o'clock before the Ecclesiastical Court, with but few witnesses in attendance, and those of little importance. A few were calied as to the bad character of the girl bringing the charges, and about the same number to sustain it, and the testimony was extremely contradictory. After a brief session the Court adjourned until next Tues- day at ten o'clock, when the prosecution promises to have their witnesses ready to proceed. There is 2 good deal of disaffection among all classes in re- gard to the neglect of many of the witnesses who were relied upon to prove the case against Dr. Huston to come forward and testify, and much delay is caused in consequence. There is a growing impression that there Nas been much said in re- gard to the case among these people that has no foundation in fact, THE YALE BARGE RACE. The Annual Regatta of the College Boys— The Sophomores Victorious=Three Miles in Twenty-one Minutes. New Haven, Conn., May 29, 1872. The annual barge races of the Yale Boat Club took place this afternoon in the harbor. The ShefMield Scientific Department crew and the class crews of the Junior, Sophomore and Freshman classes in the Academical course entered. The Academical Department crew did not enter, as the water was too rough for their barge. The SheMeld crew returned first, doing the three miles in twenty-one minutes. The Sophomores were four seconds later; but as the SheMelds rowed under @ handicap of twenty-five seconds, the Sophomores were adjudged the first prize, the SheMlelds taking the second. The Juniors returned third and the Freshmen last. MORMON AFFAIRS, Sarr LAKE City, May 29, 1872. United States Attorney Bates has issued an order for the drawing of jurors for the July term of the Court as prescribed by the Territorial Jaws in con- formity with the decision of the United States Su- preme Court. It is the intention of the District Attorney to bring the violators of the act of Congress of 1862 against polygamy before the Grand Jury and pre- pare test cases for the United States Supreme Court. “UP IN A BALLOON.

England Declines the Partial Surrender. ' The British Cabinet Cannot Understand the Senate Amendments. FISWS LATEST ULTIMATUM. Despatches Between Schenck and the Secretary. A VISIT TO MINISTER THORNTON. Fears for the Success of the Supple- Mental Article. WASHINGTON, May 29, 1872, ‘The despatches to the HeRALp last night, indicat- ing the probable failure of the supplementary arti- cle to the Washington Treaty, are confirmed by everything that has hpapened to-day. While the President was at his room at the Capitol this morn- ing he showed the despatches which have been re- ceived by the State Department since the adoption of the supplemental article to a number of leading republican Senators. These despatches are three in number. The first isa telegram from Schenck to Fish, which was received on Tuesday morning. It is to the effect that THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT 18 DISSATISFIED with the changes the Senate made in the proposed supplemental article; that neither the reason nor the effect of the change was understood by them, and that they much preferred that the article should stand as tt was originally proposed by Lord Granville. The hope Js expressed that the United States will consent to adopt it as a fuir adjustment of the differences arising out of the conflicting con- structions placed upon the treaty, especially as it would be IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCEPT THE SENATE SUBSTITUTE, which is now conceded to be a much broader in- strument, 60 far as our side of tho case fs con- cerned, than was at first believed, without a clearer understanding of its purport and a formal limita- tation of its scope and meaning. In other words, the English government 1s not willing to accept it at all, unless we agree to a supplement to the supplementary article, To this Mr. Fish replied on Tuesday afternoon that our government was unable to understand why any difficulty should arise as to the meaning or effect of the amended article, or why it should be objec- tionable either in form or spirit. Besides this, he gave the British government positive assurances that the recommendation of the Senate was con- clusive, and that the President would not propose or CONSENT TO THE SLIGHTEST CHANGE. The third despatch was received late last night. Tt was from Schenck to Fish, and was to the effect that the British government was stilt unable ta nn. derstand the intent and meaning of the new article, as it had been amended by the Senate, and in- sisted upon a full explanation of the changes which had been made in the document. Without this our government was given to understand that its acceptance would be impossible. So far, the HERALD’s despatches of last night are jus- tified, and the hitch in the treaty is fully explained. The only trouble is that FISH MAY YET SURRENDER and give over another excellent Opportunity of saving the honor of the country, in the face of the British blandishments or British bullying. To-day there were long conferences between the Secretary and Sir Edward Thornton. Mr. Fish forcibly im- pressed upon the British Minister the concessions -| which we had already made to save the treaty, and reiterated the rightfulness of the United States in presenting their indirect claims to the tribunal at Geneva. He assured Mr. Thornton that the Senate resolution was THE ULTIMATUM OF THE UNITED STATES, and the present session of Congress the limit of time in which the fate of the treaty is to be decided, A little bit of courage seemed to possess the Secre- tary, and he further informed the British Minister that any further obstinacy of the British govern- ment could only be regarded by us as indifference to the fate of the treaty or a desire to see it fail. In consequence of these despatches and the conference between Fish and Thornton, which grew out of them, a despatch was sent to General Schenck this aiternoon to be communicated to Lord Granville. In this despatch he reiterates the decla- ration of the President, and his own avowal to Sir | Edward Thornton, that the British Govornment | must accept the proposition, of the Senate or none at all, and doit at once. Any further procrastina- tion will defeat the treaty ind leave THE RESPONSIBILITY OF 17S FAILURE entirely upon England. Parliament meets again to-morrow, and it is not improbable the question may be brought up oace more in the House of Lords and the House of Commons; but It is not likely that the Senate will soon be troubled with the question, uniess the British government re- ceides from its present position and accedes to a proposition which, to say the least of it, is suf- ficiently humiliating to America, ‘There has been considerable talk during the past | few days, provoked by the apparently inexplicable | delay in the treaty business, of an extra session of | the Senate for executive business; but nothing of a | definite character can now be asserted regarding | such a probability. It is certain that the President is anxious to avoid the expense and TROUDLE OF AN EXTRA SESSION, and that he will do everything in his power to pre- vent it, If matters take a favorable shape between this time and next Monday the matter canbe dis- posed of in five minutes; but if, as is now feared, further negotiations may result from the ex- | isting complications, an extra sessiun will be- come absolutely necessary. The President is not now of the opinion that such a contingency will | arise, Having enlisted the Senate, in its advisory | capacity, in the pending negotiations, he cannot consistently decline or negkect ta continue that ody in its direct connection with the perplexing business, The consequence is that, whatever turn, affairs may take, the Senate*will be called upon for immediate action or no action at all. THE QUESTION IN ENGLAND. A Joint High Commissioner on Representative Defence. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. ~Tonnoy, May 20, 1872. Right Hon. Montagu Bernard, who was one of the members of the Joint High Commission, deliv- ered a lecture last night at Oxford on the Treaty of Washington. In the course of his remarks he said circumstances prevented him from replying to the accusations | which had been made of carelessness and too im- plicit reliance upon understandings on the part of the British members of the commission, The | Speaker gave the highest praise to the American government and people for the good temper dis- played by them throughout the negotiations. | Sir Stafford Northcote’s Opinion of the ‘Treaty and the Good It Will Effect at Home and Abroad. Sir Stafford Northcote, a member of the Joint Commission which negotiated the Treaty of Wash- ington, delivered an address (May 15) to the Exeter (England) Chamber of Commerce, in which he referred to the Treaty of Washington as follows :— Sir St4rrorp Norrncork said attention had re- cently béen called to the French Treaty. Perhaps it was due to our own congratulations on the sul ject, but some of the French people appeared to suppose that because it benefited England it must injure France. They did not see that it really was of advantage to both sides, On the whole, perhaps, Tespepelly treaties were not desirable, and he made that remark bearing in mind the treaty cancelled by America some years since which existed between America and Canada, He_ believed that that treaty was extremely advatageous to both parties, and he thought America only retired from it under an _— idea that it was not quite consistent that she, in her position as a sovereign Power, should be hampe: by her negotiations with another country in fees matters, He believed the arrangements made last year in the 'reaty of Washington, go far as they ferred to the relation betweon the United State and Canada, if they could be maintalned, would 0 be not only advantageous in themselves, vut lead to a freer development of the commercial interests of those two countries. Canada might fail to get allshe hoped; yet, by the settlement of the fishery question, and ‘of ‘tliat relating to the wrence and the canals, a great to her, and the United States would find in her a most valuable neighbor and customer. Having said thus much on the Treaty of Washington they would not be surprised if he asked to be allowed to make a few observations on another part ofit—a part not so strictly connected with Chambers of Commerce, but which had a gen- eral bearing on the commercial interest of the country, This year had been one of great anarchy and trouble to all who were connected with the questions raised under that treaty. Until within the last day or two he and his brother Commis- stoners had felt themselves in a position in which it was their duty to hold their tongues. Hotdling rH) tongue was often very agreeable and very right; but there were occasions in which it imposed and involved considerable sucrillce. (‘Hear, hear.”) He thought, however, the country gene- rally had appreciated the motive whlch had’ led to | thelr sile The Commissioners had felt it far better th y should be subject oven to misrepre- at all events to suspicion—which the: ve cleared away if they hac been able to sp ather than to way anything which might by any possibility mar th ttlement h they ‘were anxiously looking; but the matter had this week passed into a stage which Placed the Commissioners in. a somewhat different position. It did not, indeed, absolve them from the necessity of speaking with great caution, espe- cially of anything of a personal character; butit did place them in a position in whieh they might speak with more freedom. ‘Two questions had been raised—one a Fire question—as to what was | the understanding between the Commissioners at the time the treaty was nega maton and, second, & general one as to the claims for consequential damages, or indirect claims. With regard to the personal question he would only say that the Com- milasioners were distinctly responsible for having represented to the government that the under- standhil and promise given were that those claims were not to be brought forward in the arbitration. (Applause,) Ifthe English Commissioners were to maintain that position they must, of course, be brought into painful relations between themselves and their American colleagues on that commission. {t would have been unjustifiable that while the mat- ter was under discussion they should have allowed any desire to make out their own case interfere with the great, international settlement that was ‘oing on. Whether the time would ever come or speaking on that matter he did not know, and, comparatively, did not care; what he was anxious for was that a reasonable might be come to which would tries, and he would go so far as to say to the wor! at large, those advantages which they promise themselves by that treaty. While the qnestion was one between the two governments, they were called on to act in the manner he had stated, but it had now passed from that stage, and an arrange- Ment that had been previously come to between the two governments was now awaiting the sanc- tion of the Senate of the United States, and it must then como before Parliament and the people of sentation, thought t little freedom, because he felt he could do so with. out hia the other class of questions to which he had referred. There was very great satisfaction in America, and he believed, on the whole, in England also, when this treaty was concluded last year. (‘‘Hear, hear.”) Atall events, both countries belleved that asettlement of the troublesome question had been arrived at, and that rinciples were agreed upon which were likely to be of very great Importance to the future peace and prosperity of the world. (‘‘Hear, hear.”’) Suddenly and most unexpectedly did this country, and he was convinced that as unexpectedly did the people of the United States, see a difficulty raised which seemed likely to overthrow the whole settlement, Nothing could have been more honorabie to the pubis ofboth nations than the manner in which, in this great disappointinent, they behaved. There had been no disposition to irritate or embarrass on either side; bnt, on the contrary, there had been an anxious desire evinced on both sides to endeavor, if | possible, to undo this knot, and to arrive at a satis- jactory ‘conclusion. He firmly believed that tie natural irritation which prevailed in a Jarge portion ofthe United States after that terrible civil war | through which they passed was. pect allayed by | the work of last year; and, even if thisarrangement | should—tnough he hoped it would not—fail through, | that disposition which had been shown to a friendly settiement would not be without its frnit. (Ap. plause.) Looking at the diMculties under whic the negotiation was carried on in America, and considering the supremacy of the Senate, which sat | in sccret, and where the Ministers could not attend personally to state their views—looking also at the Jact that this was not only a treaty supersedin, previous engagement, but one dealing with varied | and complicated interests, he was bound to say that the spirit in which ail these dificuities were met by the government and the Senate and the peo- be of the United States was a spirit most encourag- ng; for it showed they were ready to piace great, | inte inte ts. sti national considerations above mera personal | They deait with the alfair ina broaa, | smanlike manner, which, he trusted, angured well for the future settlement of this. question. (Hear, hear.) If the matter was treated by the | Senate in the same spirit that ft dealt with the ne~ | gotiatlons last year they would before jong have such & settlement as would secure to the world | those results which they confidently the conclusion of the negotiations of last year.
