There has been nothing of particular interest to report in the shape of training gossip these past two days. Messrs.

The pre- ferencenerally given in the seventeenth cen- tury to the gray mares of Flanders over the coach horses of England gave rise to the vulgar proverb: "The gray mare is the better. horse." George Herbert gave the world many proverbs which are descriptive of the lives and qualities of women. Among others we select the follow. ing: "Empty chambers make foolish maids," a proverb which, of course, like so many others, only expresses a half truth; for we are willing to believe that some very wise little maidens have grown into womanhood like moorland blossoms, which only the grouse and the adder and the bumble bee have looked on; but foolish is no doubt used there in its slighter significance of bashful, in which case the proverb is of course a
dition to Tong King, which had been represented as particularly urgent."
A Havas Agency telegram from Toulon of December, 20 says:"It is understand here that the Tong Expedition will shortly be determined upon by the Government, and the withdrawal of the Chinese troops under orders front Peking is confirmed. The Chinese Govermatent has but one approach to the sea in those parts-viz, the Yellow River, which it cannot use, because of its being infested by pirates. It is disposed to act in concert with France to restore security in those regions. The French representative at the Court of Huè has been directed to express to the Emperor of Annam the friendly disposition of Treaty of 1874, which establishes our protectorate France; but also her firan resolve to enforce the over Annani."
The Figare publishes an account of an in- terview between the Chinese Minister and a member of its editorial staff (M. Giffard). It re- presents the Ambassador to have declared that while the Chinese Government greatly prized the maintenance of friendly relations with European Powers, the party of resistance might compel it to go to war with France on the question of Tonquin, China, added his Excellency, desired 1, to maintain neutrality as regards the Annamite Empire; 2, to come to a previous understanding with France if the latter wished to establish herself in Tonquin; and to participate in an effective protectorate of Funquin if the French
sought to create one.
The representative of the Figaro asked-"If France were to despatch an expedition to Tong King, would the Emperor of China send as army to oppose us The Minister, answered, "Not of his own will.

The Journal des Débats published a long article by M. Paul Leroy-Beaulicu, advocating the expedition to Tong King. The article says: Are we going to delay any longer?

SPORTING GOSSIP.
In answer to several correspondents 1 may state that it is my intention to go through the various races on the programme, giving full descriptions and particulars of the race panics, and finally making selections, as has been my usual custom for the last half dozen years, in the course of a day or two. I have not the least in-
tention of actting myself up as a sporting prophet, but knowing a little about race-ponies and racing generally, I can give a fairly accurate account of the shape, make, form, and past performances of most of the probable competitors, also of their present condition, the work they have done, and my own opinion as to their prospects in their Beveral engagements. Then my readers can form their own conclusions quite independently of any vaticinations i may indulge in.

I am very glad that I made reference in my last "Gossip" to the reports that were being circulated about a trial, or series of trials having been got up by Mears. Foochow and Tientsin to oblige a well known sporting celebrity "for a consideration," as the remarks I then made have clicited the actual facts of the case. I have good authority for stating that the trials, actually took place under the superintendence of Tientsin and Foochow and in the presence of the coloured gentleman who has been openly accused of foul bribery; but as the whole business was carried out strictly in accordance with the orders of the owner of the ponies, (the colored gentleman referred to actually represent ing the owner and holding the watch on his ac- count) the whole of the principal actors in the scene, nathely Tientsin, Foochow and Mr. Cur reem, are entirely exonéinted from all blame and responsibility. As the reputations of these three persons are presumedly as precious to them as would be the case if" swells" instead of maloos and touts were concerned, it is only fair that their conduct should be set before à censerious public

leagues the text of the Bill which he wished to bring before the Chamber with a view to ob taining supplies for an expedition to Tong King. When he had read the document a discussion began, and the President of the Republic ex. pressed himself unfavourable to its presentation. Several of the Ministers sided with M. Grévy, while others, on the contrary supported the Bill. At this moment Adiniral Jaureguiberry, greatly irritated, threw the document into the fire before all his colleagues, declaring that he would resign. The President of the Republie did his best to persuade the Admiral to change his mind: and, so far as we are aware, thing has come of it all." However, if the matter has so for goat, there is reason to believe that Admiral Jaureguiberry will remain in office for some little thing. If we mean to do so it will be because time at least, possibly until the commencement we shall have adopted a new maxim signifying of the next session of Parliament; that is to say,France is the nation which backs out from unless anything unforeseen should occur to alter his determination one way or the other,
It is now announced, however, that the Gov- emment are determined to present the Bill to the Chamber, In explaining how it is that the Cabinet has suddenly taken this resolve the Temps says The Government has no choice in the matter. In cases like the present inaction entails consequences as serious is action, and a Government assumes as great responsibilities by doing nothing as by acting." The Temps goes on to explain that as French troops pene- Trated into the country the interests and honour of France are at stake. With regard to the treaty signed in 1874 this journal contends that it has been faithfully observed by France, but that the tof King of Annam has failed to perform his part o the contract. After a long statement of the numerous infractions of this Treaty the Temps proceeds to say that the question must not be trifled with. The security of the French colony in Cochin China is to be insured. In conclusion it points out the immense com- the French protectorate on a firm footing. The mercial advantages to be derived by establishing Government should therefore not hesitate to send out a sufficient force the enforce the rights of France.

Were we to limit the expedition to four men and a corporal the audacity of the "black flag and of the Chiness would only increase.

STORIES OF JUDGES;
Occasionally Judges find themselves in conflict with members of the public who are under no professional privilege or restraint. Some main- tain their dignity by fining and committing for contempt of court. This course may, in some cases, be necessary, but a delicate ridiculo is generally much more effective.

Duelere has informed M. raising untenable points before Lord Ellen Blancrubé that as soon as he shall be well enoughborough became exasperated because he was to proceed to the Chamber he will accept his in- terpellation on the Tong King question. This invaribly overruled, and exclaimed, "My Lord, any interpellation, however, will, in all probability, Lord, although your Lordship is so great a man have no raison d'éirz, as the Government now seems inclined to asked Parliament to vote the necessary supplies for the expedition before the close
of the session. It is stated that the latest despatches received from the Governor of Cochin China confirm the news that the Chinese Army Corps has retired beyond the frontier. The Temps declares that this result has been attained by M. Bourée, the French Minister at Peking. The France, an the contrary, maintain that the withdrawal of the Chinese troops is only temporary, and that as soon as they shall have put down the revolt they will return to Tong King...

Such Imperti- nence would, with many judges have led to the committal of the offender; but Lord Ellenborough merely observed with an aimused smile, "Sir, I dare say it was not worth the money?" The same Judge was on one occasion sitting at the Guildhall, when Henry Hunt, the fanous dema gogue, appeared upon the floor of the Court.
