[ GRATIS.] SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1863. [ GRATIS.] RACING IN ITALY. THE CHASE. MILAN RACES. The annual meeting of the Lombard Racing Club came © IF on May 28 and 30. This is the second year since the Austrians left Milan that the Piazzi d'Armi has been the scene of peaceful racing contests, and the Italians flocked thither as to a national festival. On the " Place of Arms'' ( used for military evolutions) an oval course of about 1,500 yards was railed off and guarded by infantry of the line. The ground, for the most part elastic § rassy turf, was good going. The winning post and the tands were close by the Simplon- gate, the " Arco della Pace.'' Those who have entered Milan by that gate will remember well the imposing view before them. On the left the noble arena ; in front the grim square castle; and, far off, but distinctly seen, the many marble pinnacles of the glorious cathedral standing in sharp relief against the deep blue sky. This year, owing to the extremely hot weather, the races commenced at half- past four in the afternoon. The concourse was most brilliant, and shows that in spite of numerous obstacles racing bids fair to become a national pastime. Last year the Government encouraged it in Milan and other cities, the Minister of Agriculture having offered a prize to be run for by Italian bred horses, but the anti- racing Parliament this year decided on commencing their measures of economy by striking out of their budget the insignificant sum which was'formevly voted for the encouragement of the breed of horses in Italy. This appears more strange when we consider how dependent the Italian Government was on foreign countries to mount their cavalry during the last war, and the large annual importations of English and German carriage and saddle horses for the use of the gentry throughout Italy. The example of the French Emperor has not been followed in this instance by the Italian Parliament. Fortunately the King entertains a decided passion for horses, and is liberal with his private purse ; and his eldest son, the Prince Umberto, is beginning to imitate his father's example. The prince, who has passed a long and bril- liant season in Milan, was present at all the races, and gave prizes to be run for. As generally happens, the great gainers by public spectacles contribute least towards them. The railway companies ran their locomotives with excursion trains, and were sure win- ners, but politely declined the invitation to give a prize to be ran for by horses, it is to be hoped that they will be actuated by a more liberal spirit, next year. During the last year the Racing Club of Turin entertained the happy thought of forming a national hippie society, in order to establish prizes to be run for by Italian horses in the different cities, the racing clubs of which unite with them. That of Milan at once entered into the project. The club of Bologna, though less numerous, but composed of dashing spirited members, no sooner heard of the scheme than they sought to form part of the society. Their excellent example has this year been followed by Florence and Naples, and it is to be hoped that this society will soon be sufficiently strong to make head, until the Parliament sees the necessity of encouraging the na- tional breed c « f horses. The King has most nobly put himself at the head, and has displayed a generosity worthy of being imi- tated by his Parliament. THURSDAY, MAY 28.— The DERBY PRIZE of 10,000f given by the Italian Hippie Society for Italian Three Year Olds born within the territorial limits of the society; entry 250f; weights, horses 54 kilos. mare? 52£ ; 2,500 metres. Marquis Doria's m Liberty, by Allez y Gaiment out of Integrity 1 Signor Piazzoni's m Kigolboche, by llotherham out of Plumage 2 Signor stabelini's in Barborin, by Determination out of Moonlight 3 It was curious to see a Derby run for entirely by mares! It might with more propriety have been called the Oaks. Barborin took the lead, Liberty waiting her time, and came in an easy winner. Run in 3min lsec. PRIZE 3,000f, given by the Lombard Racing Club, for horses of all breeds and ages; entrance 240f, h ft: 4,000 metres. Mr Carter's Done Ag- iin, by Allez y Gaiment out of Mag- nanimity, 3 yrs, 49 kilos 1 Marquis Raiinondi's Prince Imperial, by Stockwell out of " Voltaire mare, 5 yrs, 66J kilos 2 Marquis Costabiii's Clara, by Huntsman out of Pater, 4 yrs, 57i Kilos 3 Marquis St Andre's Echidna, 4 yrs, 57J kilos 0 Marquis Kivadebro's Gamelad, aged, 70 kilos 0 A spirited race. Clara took the lead, followed b3T Done Again, the Prince and Gamelad well up; the last named soon broke down under the heavy weight he carried. Done Again took the lead in the second round, and the Prince made a spirited effort to come to the front, but the 17| kilos he carried more than Done Again fagged him hard in the run in; he was an easy second. Run in 4min 50sec. PRIZE 3,000f, given by Prince Umberto, for Italian bred horses; entrance 246f, h ft; 2,800 metres. Signor Peverado's Attila, by Solitario out of Rondlne, 3 yrs, 51 kilos 1 Signor Cesere Cagnola's Palestro, by Rotherham out of Plumage, 4 yrs, 62 kilos 2 Marquis Costabtli's Bolero, by Huntsman out of Irish Jig, 4 yrs, 62 kilos 3 Count Garene's Landry dis Signor Vnssalli's Stenterello Ois This was the worst start in the day's racing. At the. first curve they came all together. Palestro then went forward, with Attila close by. The race lay between these two. Attila rushed to the front and won easily. Run in 3min 15sec. Previous to the race a protest was entered against Attilla in case of winning, his pedi- gree not having been proved to the satisfaction of the stewards. He is a noble animal, and if his pedigree be correct ( which, by the by, was made out when he was two years old), he shows a unique instance of an Italian horse beating good English blood. Judging by the appearance of the horse and the suspicious papers, the stewards were fully justified in withholding the prize ui. til more plausible documents be produced showing that he is really of Italian and not of English origin. A SELLING STAKES of l, 500f, given by the Italian Racing Club; 2,000 metres. Zephir, 4 yrs, 51£ kilos ( l, 000f) 1 Echidna. 4 yrs, 55 kilos ( l. flOOf) 2 Talmouse, aged, 67 kilos ( 3,000f) 3 Diamante, aged, 59 kilos ( 2,000f) 0 St Martin, 4 yrs. 51i kilos ( l, 000f) 0 Won easily.

Barborin, 3 yrs 1 Forget Me Not, 5 yrs 2 Carainala, 5 yrs 3 A TROTTING MATCH, with gentleman riders, prize 1,500 metres, was won by the Marquis Raiinondi's Bruno. There were only three entries, and the match presented but little interest to the public. FRIDAY.— There was a TROTTING MATCH with " Biroccini," a kind of gig used in Central Italy; the first prize was for l, 000f, given by the Racing Club, second given by some of the inn keepers of Milan, 400f.

There are very striking analogies between the destinies of em pires and the incidents which preside over the fates of hunting countries, and their respective decrees are often influenced by causes very nearly akin. The reign of a goed and popular sove- reign is almost universally distinguished by the prosperity and affection of his subjects. The success of a hunting establishment is also subservient to the good taste, judgment, and ability of the nobleman or gentleman who undertakes the reins of govern- ment. So far the fortunes of either spring from causes coincident. There is, however, this difference. Kings very rarely abdicate ; masters of hounds do so, sadly, too frequently. Since the occupa- tion of the Quorn country by Mr Meynell, whose brilliant career continued for forty years, and terminated about the commence- ment of the present century, no less than fourteen masters of hounds have enjoyed opportunities of displaying their talents, dispensing their liberalities, and convincing the hunting world of the charms and delights that are so happily associated with Leicestershire. Fifteen changes, it must be observed, have taken place, Mr Osbaldeston having on two separate occasions presided as master, always delighting his friends and followers with his enthusiastic never- tiring devotion to the good cause. Thus the average term of premiership has scarcely exceeded four seasons, but Lord Stamford nearly doubled that period, and all honour is due to his lordship for the very profuse liberality exercised by him on all occasions when the promotion of sport could be anticipated. It is very remarkable that a country pos- sessing so many agreeable acceptations and delectable at- tractions, gifted as it is by nature for the enjoyment of foxhunting in its most fascinating form, should have been subservient to such numerous vicissitudes. Though the changes of masters of hounds have been frequent in this hunt, they have not been so with the gentlemen who have so efficiently and ably presided over the every important local details connected with the management of the coverts, the preservation of foxes, and those graceful amenities which are indispensable for the pur- pose of keeping all parties in happy mood with each other. The rental of coverts, earth- stopping, and keepers' fees when Mr Os- baldeston hunted the country, independent of the cost of horses, hounds, and men, were not liquidated for less than £ 1,000 per annum, and I have reason to believe a similar sum has in most other instances been expended. The indefatigable energies of Mr CradQck have been devoted to these matters nearly a quarter of a century; his brother preceded him, and their father for a very long period previously, dating back to the days of Mr Meynell. The recent presentation of plate lately noticed in these columns bears evidence to the high esteem in which Mr Cradock's kind services have been held; and a visit to his hospitable board on the memorable day of Lord Stamford's sale, when up- wards of a hundred guests were sumptuously regaled, revealed to them other emblems of esteem and regard, and, most conspi- cuously, a beautiful and costly candelabrum, presented by the late Sir Richard Sutton. A massive gold snuffbox representing the weight of 50 sovereigns, is also an heirloom that was presented as a similar token of respect. Such mementoes convey far more ef significance than their intrinsic worth, without which they would be but poor equivalents for the invaluable services they are intended to commemorate. The sale of Lord Stamford's horses and its associations is an event that, will long be held in remembrance at Quorn, bearing testi- mony, too, of the splendid establishment his lordship had pro- vided to do honour to our great national pastime, l'he annals of the chase will hand to future generations the continuous fame of the Quoin establishments; while such animated biddings afford the pleasing assurance of the estimation at which hunters of high caste are valued by British sportsmen; for be it remembered that all the horses are destined to distinguish themselves again and again over the pasture fields of their native land, as none of them were purchased to go abroad. Mr Clowes has entered the list of M. F. H.' s under most inspiring auspices, and let us hope that his mastership will be as permanent and prosperous as that of any of his predecessors. On the Tuesday previous to the sale of Lord Stamford's stud, Jack Goddard entered on his new engagement, and took charge of the hounds, they having been transferred to Mr Clowes for the valuable consideration of 2,000 guineas, and he is fortunate in having secured them. The breaking up of an esta- blished pack of foxhounds is an event of far more serious import than casual observers are wont to contemplate. Hounds of supe- rior pretensions when taken from their old associates and intro- duced to fresh ones, not unfrequently display characters quite the reverse to those whereby they gained their fame. Difference of country will, in some instances, produce this change of man- ners, and different management often exercises still more power- ful influences. Many a slow, close hunting hound, whose melodious voice is invaluable in the dense woodlands of a provincial country, may bequiteoutof liiselement over theopenfields of Leicestershire, where pace is indispensable. It is not a very difficult matter for a master of hounds who has had practice, and is gifted with an eye for symmetrical proportions, to collect a lot of handsome rogues, if he will only be industrious, and search for the beauties that are condemned and drafted for vices and misdemeanours. But how will such pretenders deport themselves? They may have runs, with two or three couples leading, doing all the work, with the remainder following in the rear, at wide intervals, doing nothing, unless perchance " babbling behind,'' than which the antecedent failing is far more venial. Such collections— packs of hounds I cannot call them— may kill foxes, but the manner in which they accomplish that desideratum will not bear description. I have witnessed such performances, but I decline the honour of recording them, so let them pass without further comment. Mr Clowes is fortunate in having no such difficulties to contend with. He has got a clever pack of hounds, composed of good materials. Besides those bred at the Quorn kennels for next season's entry, he has procured an unentered draft from Sir W. W. Wynn's, among which are two couples descended from the Duke of Beaufort's Harlequin, and several others by sires from the Duke of Rutland's and Lord Yarborough's kennels. Of their own breeding I was pleased to see six couples were the progeny of the Worcestershire Sportsman, whose excellent parentage can scarcely fail to perpetuate many valuable properties. Sportsman is a son of the Warwickshire Saffron, a hound I have on many previous occa- sions described in high terms of praise, and the Berkeley Charity, a daughter of Drunkard a « d Cora. Drunkard, a son of Hotspur and Danae. Cora, daughter of the Duke of Rutland's Chaser and Housemaid. Hotspur, son of the Duke of Beaufort's Regent and Harlot. Sportsman, it will thus be understood, was bred at Berkeley, and went to Worcestershire in his puppyhood. Honesty and Triplet have produced very promising litters to Sportsman; the former is a daughter of Mr Morreil's Hercules and Tidings, the latter of the Pytchley Trojan and Captain Thomson's Blos- som. In a country like Leicestershire, where the agriculturists are so deeply indebted to foxhunting, it is truly remarkable that greater facilities are not afforded to masters of hounds for walk- ing puppies. With the exception of the late Mr Greene and Lord Stamford none of the former masters had landed estates in the county ; but what of that ? Many of the noblemen and gentlemen who have hunted the Quorn country have annually disbursed little fortunes, of which the farmershave had the lion's share; besides the immense sums circulated by the wealthy frequenters of Melton and Leicester, together with vast numbers who rent mansions for the express purpose of hunting in the most fashion- able of all counties. Farmers may conjecture that it is a matter of little importance that affluent masters of hounds can purchase what they require. So they may as regards numbers, but not perfection. They can never obtain a first- rate pack of hounds except by breeding them at any cost. The farmers of Leicester, shire are fond of the sport; they are prosperous and hospitable, and they possess all the tine attributes that distinguish their class. That they should permit themselves to be immeasurably excelled by others in the provincial countries in their appreciation of that which do prominently conduces to the excellence of the pack that not only affords them sport but which also promotes their wel- fare is an anomaly I cannot comprehend, and I am much in- clined to the conclusion that several masters of hounds have withdrawn from this cause, fi r nothing identifies a gentleman with the country he hunts more significantly than the cordial co- operation of the cultivators of the soil.

IITI FIRE AT THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.— On Monday afternoon, June 8, some alarm was felt at the House of Commons consequent on the discovery of the dangerous condition of the flues in the cor- ridors leading from the Speaker's residence to the library of the house.. It was found that the flues had been smouldering, and that they required prompt attention. The services of a large num- ber of wprkmen were immediately called into requisition, and before four o'clock, when the house met, the flues had been effectually, cleaned. HEALTH- OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending June 6 • were 1,214, being still 82 over the average. Small- pox is not so fatal as during the past few weeks, the deaths being only 56.

It will, doubtless, be remembered that in Easter term Lord Cardigan obtained a rule nisi for a criminal information against the Hon Colonel Calthorpe, for a libel upon the earl contained in certain passages in a work which the colonel had published, entitled. Letters from a Staff Officer in the Crimea, published originally in December, 1856. There were several statements in the work of which Lord Cardigan had complained; but, with the exception of that which was the chief subject of complaint, they were withdrawn in con- sequence of his remonstrances, conveyed through mutual friends, and were corrected in ^ he second and third editions. The state- ment, however, which had been chiefly complained of, and which formed the specific subject of complaintin the present proceeding, was in the account which the colonel had given of the conduct of the earl in the course of the brilliant charge of the Li^' ht Cavalry at the celebrated battle of Balaklava on the 25th of October, 1854. In that battle it will be remembered that the earl commanded the Light Cavalry Brigade, and General Scarlett the Heavy Brigade, the Earl of Lucan having the command- in- chief of the cavalry. The troops of the Light Brigade which took part in the celebrated charge were portions of the 17th Lancers, the 13th Light Dragoons, tile 4th Light Dragoons ( now 4th Hussars), and lltli Hussars, and a squadron of the 8th Hussars, who were commanded by Col Shewell, since deceased. The attack was in three lines. TheEarlof Cardigan in person led the first line, Col Douglas the second, and Lord G. Paget the third. Some of the officers engagedin the charge were killed, among others Capt Lockwood ( whose name is men- tioned in theaffidavits), and Capt Nolan, who carried the order for the charge, was shot soon afterwards. The assertion made in these passages of the work and chiefly complained of was, that in the most critical part of the charge, where the general was most required, Lord Cardigan was absent, he having, according to the author, retired between the 4th Dragpons and the 8th Hussars as they were advancing. In the third edition, published in 1858, the original passage reappeared as before in the text, and then in a note the substance of a " notice" to the second edition was inserted as a note ( p. 130), which ran thus :— " The Earl of Cardigan has stated, since the publication of the first edition of this book, that he considers the account given of the part taken by him in the Light Cavalry charge, ' unworthy of any reply, as it is well known' that he led the Light Brigade up to the Russian cavalry in rear of the battery, and ' that the 8th Hussars did not advance as far as the battery, but became en- gaged with the Russian cavalrj' short of it.' The author has relied on statements furnished him by officers actually engaged in the charge; but as the excellence of Lord Cardigan's horsemanship is unquestionable, the idea that his horse ran away with him is no doubt erroneous! Several officers of the 4th Light Dragoons and 8th Hussars bear witness to the fact that his lordship retired between those regiments as they were advancing, and it has been confidently asserted to the author by the two senior officers of the 8th Hussars who were present that their regiment was not halted until it had gone 300 yards beyond the Russian battery, when it was wheeled about for the purpose of attacking the enemy's cavalry, which had assembled in its rear.'' In support of the present application the earl had sworn an affidavit, in which he went with great detail into all the events of the day in question, and characterised the statements set forth in the passage above quoted as calumnious and unfounded. In con- tinuation of his affidavit the earl also filed various affidavits of officers and privates in regiments which had formed part of the Light Brigade. There was an affidavit of General Scarlett, in which that officer stated that he was in command of the Heavy Brigade, which was ordered to retire after having given some as- sistance to the Light Brigade ; and that Lord Cardigan, a few minutes after this, coming back with the retreating troops, came to Lord Lucan, and gave explanations of the mistaken order which had been given. The affidavit of the Right Hon George Charles, Earl of Lucan, stated that he had read an office copy of the affidavit made by Sir James Yorke Scarlett, and that he was unable to con- cur with the statement there made ; that Lord Cardigan did not come to hiin until all was over ; and that he then declared in a vehement manner he should report Capt Nolan for gross insubordi- nation ; and w as made with great difficulty to understand that Capt Nolan had been killed, and that the shrieks which so many had heard had been occasioned by his being shot through the heart. The affidavit of Daniel Hugh Clutterbuck, late a lieu- tenant in the 8th Hussars, stated that Lord Cardigan was absent during the engagement, and that he was afterwards seen sitting quietly on his horse in the valley. There were several other affidavits from persons present at the Light Cavalry charge. In some it was stated that Lord Cardigan was absent ac the critical moment, while in others it was asserted that he was riding to the rear in order to bring up the Heavy Brigade. Colonel Calthorpe, in his altidavit, said that he saw much of what Lord Cardigan did, and that he believed what he had stated in his book to be true. He had heard from officers on whom he relied, some of whom were dead and some on service in India, that when in the battery, and vainly inquiring for Lord Cardigan, they were obliged to take upon themselves the serious responsibility of ordering a retreat. Sergeant Shee, for Colonel Calthorpe, on Tuesday showed cause against the rule, as did also Mr Coleridge ; and Mr Boviil then proceeded to argue that the rule should be made absol ute. It would be impossible for us to go into the facts of the case, but must content ourselves by stating that it is now placed beyond dispute, by the testimony of many eye- witnesses and the admis- sion of his most persistent detractor, that Lord Cardigan did charge at the head of his troops up to the Russian battery, through the battery, and beyond the battery. When credible persons declared on oath that they saw liim in the rear of the guns, defending himself against the Cossacks, and that they themselves went to his rescue, the doubt, if any existed, was at an end. Against such evidence the statement of one man that he saw Lord Cardigan's horse swerve and apparently turn round, or of another that he observed him afterwards riding the wrong way, is simply worthless. The whole affair lasted less than twenty minutes, and the duration of many incidents in it must have been measured by seconds. Whether the horse swerved or not, and whether Lord Cardigan was first or last in the sauve qui peut which alone saved the brigade from utter destruction, was not the question raised by Colonel Calthorpe. The question was whether he ever got up to the Russian batteries and shared in the desperate fighting behind them, or turned his back to the enemy before executing the duty assigned to him. In deciding this question with so much confidence, Colonel Calthorpe seems to have forgotten that what A has seen cannot be disproved, or even shaken, by the fact that B, C, and D did not see it. He was obliged to admit, through his counsel, that, his negative data mis- led him, that his informants have been in error, and that Lord Cardigan did remain, till the batteries were passed, in the post of danger which he had represented him to have quitted through cowardice. Driven from this ground, the staff officer took his stand upon another, and urged that if Lord Cardigan was fore- most in the attack instead of flinching under fire, at all events he did not rally his shattered squadrons or play the part of a general in bringing up the retreat. This is an entirely new issue, for though in the original libel Lord Cardigan was said to have been absent when he was most wanted, the context clearly pointed to a time when the batteries were still in his front. Three defences were raised by 8ergeant Shee on Colonel Cal- thorpe's behalf. He contended, first, that the offensive imputa- tions were substantially true, or, if not true, were based upon evi- dence which the court could not set aside without usurping the functions of a jury. The Lord Chief Justice disposed of this point by showing that the gravamen of the real charge against Lord Cardigan was absolutely false ; that the substitution of ancther charge at the last moment, coupled with a refusal to apologise for the former, did not improve the defendant's position; and that there was no conflict of evidence, since the propositions affirmed by the one side and those denied bv the other were not identical. The next plea was that the events of the Crimean war were proper subjects for free historical criticism and discussion ; but this was summarily overruled by the Lord Chief Justice, who adhered to the stringent doctrines recently laid down in the case of the Saturday Review. The last and only sound argument ad- vanced by Sergeant Shee turned upon what had passed between the parties since the first publication of the libel. It is well known that the Court of Queen's Bench will not entertain an application for a criminal information unless it be made promptly, and with- out having had previous recourse to other remedies, whereas in this case Lord Cardigan had had recourse to other remedies 1 which had failed. Now, it is creditable to Colonel Calthorpe and his legal advisers that he offered to waive the benefit of this rule, and chose to rely only on the unfairness of allowing so long a time to elapse, and on the transactions which had taken place in the interval. The Lord Chief Justice, in giving judgment, said : I can enter- tain no doubt that the passage in the work upon which this appli- cation has been made for a c riminal information contains a most serious libel on the Earl of Cardigan. I think it is impossible to read the passage without coming to the conclusion that t hat which it is intended to convey is an imputation on the Earl of Cardigan, of his having been wanting in his duty at a time when he was in command of the detachment of cavalry ordered to take the Rus- sian battery, and of having been wanting in his duty throughout of personal courage. The first edition of the work was published in 1856, and the second early in 1857. Lord Cardigan, feeling himself aggrieved, as I think he had just cause, by the observa- tions made upon him in more than one part of the book, applied to the Commander- in- Chief for a court- martial on Lieut- Colonel Calthorpe, instead of his coming here for a criminal information. There is a rule which has long been established here, that to ob- tain that relief the party must be without delay— and in the first instance, instead of going to some other tribunal; and therefore if this application had been founded on the first edition of the work, I cannot but think that the fact of Lord Cardigan having in the first instance applied to the Commander- in- Chief for a court- martial would have been a complete answer to the application. It is not, however, on the first edition, but on the latter one that the application was founded, which contains the passage com- plained of in its objectionable form. He did not then come to the court, but discussed it in his place in the House of Lords, and asked the Government to take steps for the removal of the defendant from the army, and further, to have him removed from the vice- regal staff in Ireland. I am not saying that with a view of casting blame on Lord Cardigan, but merely as considering whether after that we can give Lord Cardigan the relief he asks. I think we cannot. But there is a still further ground upon which it appears to me impossible the rule can be made absolute, viz, that which passed between Lieutenant- Colonel Calthorpe and one of the friends authorised by Lord Cardigan to interfere in his behalf, which altogether takes away the founda- tion on which this rule was originally applied for. When the application was made, the court at first thought that the rule could not be granted on the ground of time, but it afterwards con- sidered that the sale of every copy of the work was a republication of the libel, and therefore a new offence was committed; that we thought, the case, which was somewhat novel in that respect, might thereby account for the delay. The work had ceased to a certain extent to be published or read as a matter of interest by the public ; but owing to a remarkable and stirring work, which has excited so much interest in the public mind, and has again directed public attention to the events of the Crimean war, it was likely that all works written on the subject would be greatly con- sulted to see if the statement of the new historian was correct or not— that Lord Cardigan was disposed to let the matter slumber until then, and then he felt a desire to again attempt to remove the stigma from his reputation. It appears that by an arrangement between Lieutenant- Colonel Calthorpe and Lord Cardigan's friend the remaining unbound portion of the edition was cancelled. That fact the Earl of Cardigan and his solicitor were ignorant of till it was disclosed in the affidavit; and had it been brought before the notice of the court, as no doubt it could have been, when the rule was moved for, he doubted very much if it would have been granted. By that pro- ceeding the ground for the rule, taking every new sale as a re- publication, was cut away. I do not regret that this proceeding has taken place. I think it is a great thing that with regard to an event which will be memorable in British history while it lasts, and on which we look with pride and satisfaction, as pos- terity will turn to it as one of the great and crowning acts of valour and glory, we have elicited a vindication of every man who was present at this memorable charge. The imputation conveyed in the work was that Lord Cardigan did not enter the battery from want of courage to face danger; but Lieutenant- Colonel Calthorpe had been compelled to admit it was altogether an un- founded statement. I think that admi sion might have been made in a more gracious spirit, and that it was not enough for him to say that he was satisfied he was wrong after he had per- sisted in the statement for so many years. As to the question whether Lord Cardigan did or did not do all a general should have done on that occasion, that was a matter for public criticism; but those who do so will do well first to ask themselves what they would have done under similar circumstances. Under all the circumstances I think the rule must be discharged, but without costs. PEDESTRIANISM.

They were favoured with more beautiful weather, and welcomed b3' a larger attendance than ever collected on the cricket field betore. The races, too, were well contested, and all things combined to render this year's meeting a complete success. The stewards were Messrs F. Gunton and A. Kennedy, Mr G. T. Hall officiating as clerk of the course. The day was opened by a heat for the 100yards cup, presented by J. E. Prothero, Esq, of Jesus College, Oxford, which was followed by a heat for a second 100 yards cup, presented by R. A. Druce, Esq, open to all under 5 feet 3 inches. The dis- tinguishing feature of the day was the running displayed in the mile race ; A. Kennedy took the lead very soon and maintained it to the end, running the course in omin 3sec. The half mile race for a set of gold studs and links, presented by S. Barker, Esq, was keenly contested ; there were several competitors, but at the start G. Hall and W. Craig rushed to the front, and, racing the whole way, were equal nearly up to the post, when both straining to the utmost, W. Craig got the least advantage, and thus saved a glorious race from being judged a dead heat. For the high leap and hurdle race cups were presented by H. T. Banning, Esq. The prize for the hurdle race, though vigo- rously disputed by C. T. Rowe, was finally obtained by W. Craig. The cup for the high leap was won by F. Gunton, who succeeded in clearing 4ft 9iri after a close struggle with A. Kennedy, who, however, was successful in the long leap shortly after. For the 100 yards races there were many candidates; after the prelimi- nary heats had been concluded, the final one for the senior hun- dred was left to F. Gunton and R. Stevens, and resulted in the succcss of the former. In the junior hundred four caine to the scratch for the final heat, and, after a splendid spurt, the cup was won by C. T. Clark. The victory of G. R. Hickman in the sack race was hailed with acclamation; both in the preliminary and deciding heats he showed himself facile princeps. The following is a list of the races and their results, & c:— Senior 100 Yards ( first heat): F. Gunton 1, G. Hall 2, W. Craig 3. Second heat: R. Stevens I, C. Rowe 2, H. G. Meara 3.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY FOOT RACES. Within the past, few years these annual athletic contests have become an institution of the University, recurring as regularly as the Scholarship Examination. Fortunately experience proves that, one may graduate with honours and yet exhibit considerable skill in using his muscles, and it has lately been proved that in Trinity College the most distinguished students are those who excel in athletic sports. Accordingly the College Races are looked forward to with much interest, and the heavy rain which fell on Friday, June 5, caused cowsiderable disappointment. On Saturday quite as much, if not more, rain fell, with this difference, that on the previous day the rain poured without intermission. Everything considered, however, the races passed off very well. The entries for the principal events were numerous, and the competition keen. An extraordinary throw of cricket ball, to the distance of 105 yards, by Mr Whitestone, attracted considerable admiration. The jumping was good, but by no means wonderful. The run- ning was admitted on all sides to be first- rate, especially the flat races of 150 yards, and the two hurdle races, in each of which Mr Carew vindicated his claim to be considered one of the best runners in Ireland. Mr Barber's running in the half mile race was, as usual, excellent, but his speed was not severely tried, and Mr Bolton, the victor over the mile course, accomplished the distance in a very creditable time. In the sec- nd hurdle race, while leading, Mr Strick- land, the secretary to the committee, received a very heavy fall, and was much shaken; but the injury was not so serious as at first supposed. The fine band of the 36th Regiment, under the direction of Mr J. P. Clarke, performed an excellent selection of music. Subjoined are the names of the winners:— Dropping the Football: S. W. Gerrard 1, A. Traill 2. Distance 45 yards.— Running Long Jump: R. Morton 1. Distance 18 feet6 inches. — Throwing the Cricket Ball: J. R. Whitestone 1. Distance 105 yards— Flat Race of One Hundred and Fifty Yards:— S. W. Gerrard 1, R. Carew 2, J. T. Whitty third. Time 15 seconds.— Putting Forty- two Pounds Weight: R. O. Lane I, H. Townsend 2. Distance 22 feet 8 inches.— Hurdle Race of Six Hundred Yards, over Twenty- five Flights of Hurdles ( open to officers of the army and navy and gentlemen approved by the committee) : R. H. Carew 1, 8. W. Gerrard 2.— Vaulting: This resulted in a tie between A. Traill and J. R. Lloyd. Height 6 feet 5 inches.— Running High Jump: R. Morton 1, W. N. Jagoe 2.

ASTON CROSS GROUNDS, MONDAY, JUNE 8.— Although the weather was wet and cold, and not at all adapted for out- door amusement, yet there was from first to last a good muster present in the grounds, and amongst the number several old well- known lovers of pedestrianism, and backers of men who have passed away from off the bu3y scenes of life. Yet the recollection of days gone by— the pleasures en- joyed in a well- contested race— was the occasion of bringing them together to witness the match between G. ( alias Buck) Barlow and Mordyke, and also between Randle and Clarke, the particulars of which are given below. The first race of the day was between Catlin ( late of Lincoln) of Birmingham and young Mills of Aston, who soon after three o'clock toed the scratch to run their half- mile match, for £ 5 a side. Catlin has run in many matches at these grounds with varied success. Mills may be said to be a novice, yet his friends appeared sanguine on the result. Mills had trained under G. Hartshorne of Ison Green, and, as far as appearance went, he looked in first- rate trim. Catlin, who was attended by Ben Garrington, was all that could be desired. A well- known lover of sports of all kinds, Mr Chatterley, acted as referee ( in place of Mr Beasley, the stakeholder). The average betting was 12 to 10 on Mills ( 5 to 4 offered, but no takers). At the signal the men got away, Catlin taking the lead for two laps and a half ( four laps for the half mile), when Mills got abreast of him and they ran together till within a few yards of the third lap, when Catlin again took the lead, kept the same, and finished by running in a winner, after a well- contested race, by a yard. Time, 2min 20see. J. EAVES AND J. WESTON.— These Birmingham men came next on the ground to run six score yards, for £ 5 a side ; Mr John Tailby the appointed referee. Eaves is new to these grounds ; he is a fine- made, active young man, and looked in first- rate condi- tion. Weston has been before the public as a second- rate pedes- trian for years, and, considering the short time he had for train- ing for the present match, he looked in first- rate trim, but as Eaves had the advantage of youth on his side his friends backed him freely at 2 to 1 ( 3 and 4 to 1 offered, no takers). The men got away together just at the time 15 minutes had elapsed; a well- con- tested race the whole distance till within a score yards of home, when Eaves spurted forward and won by a bare yard. BUCK BARLOW AND T. MOBDYKE.— AS soon as the grounds could be cleared the public were again admitted to witness the quarter of a mile match between the above men, for £ 10 a side, Mr Tailby, the stakeholder, again acting as referee. The match between the above men created a good deal of interest, Barlow having for the last ten years figured at these and other grounds in the districts as a pedestrian, though he lias been shelved for the last two years, when he ran at the above grounds with Young Moon, and beat him in a canter in a quarter- mile spin. It must have been highly gratifying to him to see so many of his old friends and backers rally round him on the present occasion, and support him by laying the odds on him, first at 6 to 4 and 2 to 1. He looked in good trim, was confident of the result, but, as usual with him, was pale, and had a languid step. Of Mordyke we need notsay more than he looked in his usual good condition. He has run many matches with great credit, and his friends freely took the odds. Barlow got off with the lead, but Mordyke quickly wrested it from him, and maintained the lead for full one lap and a half round ( two laps for a quarter of a mile), when Barlow, who had gradually gathered himself together, spurted forward, col- lared his man at the straight run home, and finished the distance by running in a winner by three yards. Time, lmin 2sec. J. CLARKE OF BIRMINGHAM AND RANDLE OF COLESHILL.— These well- known men came next in a heavy shower of rain to the starting place, to run a quarter of a mile, for £ 5 a side. Mr Tailby was again called into requisition as referee and also starter. Both men have run in previous matches at these grounds. Randle was made the favourite, his friends laying 6 and 7 to 4 on him, which was readily taken by Clarke's party. Both men looked in first- rate condition. Clarke was attended by Kimberley, and Hartshorne was in attendance on Randle. At the signal, Handle went away with the lead, which he maintained till within 100 yards of the winning post, when, on turning for the straight run home, both men came in contact together, Clarke quickly going to the front, and winning by two yards. Time, lmin lsec. ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— Entries for Mr Clulee's Great All England Half- mile Handicap Race, which comes off on Monday and Tuesday, June 22 and 23, for £ 10 in money prizes :— J.

All acceptances, of Is 6d each, must be paid to Mr Cluleeas above on or before Tuesday, June 16; stamps as cash. Cards of the handi- cap may be had at the bar on Thursday, June 18. T. BROWN AND T. ROBERTS.— These well- known pedestrians are matched to run one thousand yards round Aston Cross Grounds, on Monday July 13, for £ 10 aside, Mr J. Tailby final stakeholder and referee, who bas£ l a side in hand. A further deposit of £ 1 a side to be made on Monday, June 15, at Rowbotham's, Black Lion, Hurst- street. EAVES AND DEAKEN.— These Birmingham men are matched to run one lap round Aston Cross Grounds, for £ 5 a side, on Saturday, July 4. £ 1 a side is down in the hands of Mr Clulea, and a fur- ther deposit for the same must be made to the final stakeholder, Mr Coates, during the week. J. DUDLEY AND G. WOOD.— These Wednesbury men have signed articles to run six score yards, for £ 10 a side, to come oft at Aston Cross Grounds on July 4. £ 2 a side is down in the hands of Mi- B. Hawkins of Wednesbury, who is final stakeholder and referee. ASH TREE GROUNDS, TIVIDALE, NEARDUDLEY.— Notwithstand- ing the unpropitious state of the weather on Monday, J uue8, there was a pretty good attendance at the above new running grounds to witness the undermentioned matches which came off, viz. Young Hodson of Birmingham and Darby of Oltibury ( Tim Thomas's lad), who toed the mark to run 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, Darby receiving a start of eight yards inside. Hodson, who is well known as having run many matches at Aston Cross Grounds, & c, was brought to scratch under T. Jones ( Brushey) looking in good trim. Darby, who had been looked after by Thomas, was all that could be wished. Mr J. Jones acted as referee. The betting com- menced at 6 to 5 on Darby, and veered round to 6 to 4 on Hodson. After dodging for full twenty minutes Darby got away with full two yards start, which, with the eight yards given, made the gap too wide for Hodson, Darby running in a winner by four yards. BAGGOT AND SKELTON ( BOTH OF WESTBROMWICH).— These men next toed the scratch to run 100 yards, for £ 5 a side. T. Thomas referee. Baggot, who had trained under Hale of West- bromwich, was as fine as a star, and his friends backed him at 5 to 4. Skelton's condition was not such as his friends could wish, but they took the odds laid against him. After a few attempts the men got away, Baggot with the best of the start, kept the lead, and ran in an easy winner by three yards. A. Wood and J. Darrall ( both of Bilston) have signed articles to run 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, at Vauxhall Grounds, Wolverhamp- ton, on Monday, June 22; to toe the scratch between two and three o'clock. A further deposit must be made to the final stake- holder on Monday, June 15. PRICE AND ACKLAND — The six score yards match, for £ 10 a side, between these well- known men is off, Ackland having for- feited. E. Steventon of Tipton will run either Shephard, Newey, or Mitchell of Dudley 300 yards level, or take two yards in 10 score, or run Braznell of Dudley Port 440 yards, with five j- ards start, or take 10 yards start in the like distance of Ackland of Dudley Port. Either match, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side, cau be made at Shep- herd's, Shinglers' Arms, Tipton, on Monday, June 15. W. Darby of Oldbury ( T. Thomas's Lad) will run any of the following men 100 or 120 yards, viz, Nobby, Round, or Mitchell of Dudley, or take three yards start of Harcourt of the same place in the like distance, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side. Money ready at Tho- mas's, the Gate Inn, Tividale, any night next weeek, or an answer through Bell's Life quickly attended to. J. Silvester ( a novice) of Coven, Wolverhampton, will run any one in Gloucester 120 yards, far £ 5 a side, half way between home and home— say Worcester. Editor of BelCs Life to be stakeholder, to whom if a deposit is made and articles sent to Silvester, 24, Berry- street, Wolverhampton, a match can be made. H. Warner of Birmingham will walk any wooden- legged man in that place any distance up to one mile, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side. Money ready at J. Pearson's, the Malt Shovel Inn, Little Charles- street. J. Clarke of Birmingham understanding that Randle of Coles- hill wishes for another match he can be on for £ 10 up to £ 25 a side ; or Buck Barlow cau have a match for the like distance ( quarter of a mile), for the like amount. Money ready at J. Jones's, Old Crown, Great Barr- street. Two privates of the Scots Greys, now quartered in Birming- ham, have made a match to run one mile at Aston Cross Grounds, for £ 5 a side, A. B. giving C. D 20 yards, on July 13. J. Rook, of the Whittingtori and Cat, Great Brook- street, final stakeholder. THOMAS OF LIVERPOOL AND COLEMAN OF BIRMINGHAM.— These men are matched to walk seven miles, for £ 10 a side, Thomas to give two minutes start. Coleman to give £ I for choice of ground. The men meet at Holden's, Townsend End Tavern, Walsall, the stakeholder and referee, on Wednesday next, Cole- man to name the place of walking. The match to come off' on the 29th of June. Bland is surprised that Smalley should put forth a statement that he ( Bland) was not known at the place he named, or that no one was there to make a match, when Smalley knows that money was put down by his backer to secure a match on. Bland is still open to make a bona fide match to walk him from seven to 14 miles, for £ 10 or £ 15 a side, and his money is ready, as before, at Mr Harris's, Adderley Arms, Adderley- street, Birmingham, to make a match. SMALLEY AND COLEMAN.— We understand that £ 3 is down for a match between the above men to walk six miles, for £ 5 aside, to come off on July 13. They meet on Tuesday, at Parry's, Bell Inn, Livery- street, Birmingham, to make a further deposit and agree as to place of walking.

CITY GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, JUNE 6.— LANG AND STAPLETON.— The reputa- tion of W. Lang of Middlesborough, Yorkshire, and that of P. Stapleton of Soalybridge— the former both the victor and the vanquished in the metropolis as well as in the provinces, and the latter the holder of a mile champion cup, given by Mr T. Warren, of the Snipe Inn, Ashton— was sufficient to induce a much larger attendance than is usually found here, the fine afternoon being an additional inducement to visit this locality. The engagement which had been signed on behalf of Lang and Stapleton stated that they were to run one mile, for £ 25 a side, G. Martin of London being, of course, the chief supporter of Lang, and Stapleton still adhered to his old friend, J. Wo- dley of Stafy- bridge; these backers having, we were told, in addition to other wagers, an even score pounds on the issue of the event. The race we are about to describe cannot for an instant be considered as a test of speed, as both men have gone over a similar distance in much less time. The fastest mile race that was ever decided came off at the Copenhagen Grounds, Manchester ; and though that brilliant contest resulted in favour of Siah Albison of Bowlee, near Middleton, in 4min 22jsec, Lang was close up. This triumph has never been equalled; but yet, turning to Stapleton's performances, they are very far from discreditable. His clever performance in defeating A. Day of Brighouse, in a mile race for £ 25 each, on the Copenhagen Course at Manchester, on the 27th September last, is not quite forgotten, he having, almost amid a tor- rent of rain, and consequently heavy ground, covered the distance, with comparative ease, in 4min 26jsec. Stapleton again met Day at the Snipe Grounds, near Ashton, on the 24th January last, and after permitting Day ( with the betting 4 to 1 on him), to lead until within 250 yards of home, he came away, and deprived the favourite of the champion cup, Stapleton winning easily by five yards, the time occupied being 4min iSOfsec. The event of to- day was, therefore, naturally watched with some interest, but scarcely a wager was made until the engaged men entered the course. Then Lang was installed the favourite, 6 to 4, 2 to 1, and in a few instances 3 to 1 was invested on him. The favourite had been, as will be expected, under the supervision of Martin, and Staple- ton's prepa; alion had been intrusted to J. Schofield of Mossley, near Ashton- under- Lyne. Ling had evidently been well prepared — rather too fleshy to our notion— whilst Stapleton was the very reverse, he seeming careworn, and unmistakably slim in appear- ance. The time specified for the event was four o'clock, and some time afterwards the competitors entered the arena, Mr Holden being stakeholder and referee. After one futile attempt, Stapleton began to cut out the work at a somewhat miserable pace, Lang evidently intending to run a " waiting race.'' When the men passed the stand the non- favourite led by a yard and a half, but even thus early in the contest it was easily to be perceived that Lang was reserving his well- known energies until the proper mo- ment, in his opinion, to bring them into action. Without the slightest change in position Lang allowed Stapleton to carry on the running until coming to the final turn in the last revolution, where the " Crow catcher" increased his speed, passed Stapleton with remarkable ease, quitted him at nearly every stride, and won easily by upwards of a dozen yards, Stapleton tiring, and giving up in the straight. The winner covered the mile in 4min 30sec, and Stapleton seemed to have had quite enough, whilst Lang appeared to be little distressed by his mile journey.— [ In reply to two correspondents, who appear to have read the announcement in the Manchester papers that the above race was to decide the mile championship, we have only to say that no such title pended the event, it being simply a race for £ 25 a side. We are. however, quite willing to leave the owner or " manager" of the City Grounds, Manchester, to test the gullibility of the in- habitants of the district of Lancashire.] LANG AND SANDERSON.— W. Lang of Middlesborough and J. Sanderson ( alias Treacle) of Whitworth, near Rochdale, are matched to run one mile, for £ 25 a side, here, on July II, for which Mr Holden has received £ 5 each ; and the same men are also engaged to run two miles, for £ 25 a side, at this place, on Aug 1, for which Mr Holden is in possession of £ 1 each. The second deposit for both matches was to have been paid on June 13. CHAMPION SWEEPSTAKES, ONE MILE AND A QUARTER — Mr Holden has now £ 10 each from the following men :— S. Albison, W. Lang, P.

Both lads were well supported from their respective villages, and a good amount of money was invested at evens, Totty, if anything, having the call at the close of the betting. A good start was effected bjr report of pistol, and a capital race ensued from begin- ning to end, both straining every nerve for victory, and after a most determined struggle, Butcher succeeded in passing the tape first by a yard. Mr J. Boothroyd officiated as referee. GREAT ALL ENGLAND 250 YARDS HANDICAP AT HYDE PARK, SHEFFIELD.— Mr W.

Jessop ( alias 8hiveram) of Gawthorpe, for £ 15 a side. The playing of Kellett during his practice was such as ta cause the greatest confi- dence to be placed in him; consequently, at the commencement of the game, he was the favourite at 2 to 1. When they had played five rises, Kellett had scored 55, and at the end of their 15th rise, Kellett was 25 scores ahead. Any odds were now offered on him.

" The Derby Day of ' 63— Oh ! how the folks did stare, When the P. s they won at Cambridge, and the Babe was won at where? That downy infant only knows. Try Epsom." Actuated soleby by feelings of that maternal solicitude which generally belongs only to stepfathers and aged maiden aunts ( neither of whom naturally can bear children), the Perambulators felt it their painful duty to administer a wholesome thrashing to the youthful club of Etceteras. A Ground Ash plant served to lay on some wholesome cuts; but it twice fell to the lot of Mr Dyne to deal out those wholesome blows, inflicted with some fours, which, in the peculiar phraseology of the immortal Jorrocka, caused those infatuated nondescripts to cry capevi." To sweeten the nauceous draught, two pairs of spectacles were presented, with happy generosity, to the least deserving, in order that they might see their way more clearly another season. One of the two um- pires, whose duty it was to see fair play, condemned in a bowler that " lofty style'' which, when applied to rowing, is so prejudicial to the chances of a Cambridge boat ( Tunes critic). The " only true prophet," whose information is so accurate that he was prepared ( after the event) to lay any odds he named the " first three for the Derby,'' was so pre- occupied with his vaticinations as to be obliged to withdraw his assistance. P. S. We are authorised to contradict the assertion that The Etcetera Club will be dissolved. The motto of the P. C. C. will be for the future, " Spare the rod and spoil the Etcetera."
