A go©d start was effected, Prince of Denmark instantly going to the front, having Bradfield, Calpe, Rosamond, Prologue, and Heiress in Indian file in the order given. On coming along in front of the Stand the first time the same order was maintained, the Prince leading at least four lengths. This distance was lessened on coming round the back, where Calpe and Brad field took closer order with the leader ; Heiress, apparently disliking the pace, was tailed off, On going along the deep sand up to the Mansfield-road turn, the three leaders were well ahead of the others, but rounding the turn, Bradfield fell back, and Prologue passed him and was third ; in the straight, half-way down which the race was confined to the two leading horses (Prince of Denmark and Calpe), they raced on in close order to the half distance, where Calpe ap peared to tire, and the Prince, running the gamest, won cleverly by half a length. Rosamond passed Prologue be tween the distance post and the chair, and finished five lengths from Calpe ; Prologue was fourth ; Bradfield pulled up beaten, and was placed fifth; Heiress, who was last throughout, did not pass the post.

After several false starts, caused by the breaking away of Breech loader, Sloth, and Hambleton Lass, the lot got off and Breechloader was left slightly behind. Sloth took the lead at first, but soon had to give way to the favourite, who won easily at the finish by a length ; a neck between second and third; Buttercup was a good fourth, Evangeline fifth, with Breechloader, beaten off, last. • The winner was after wards sold to Mr. Saxon for 70 guineas.

The favourite took a slight lead to the turn, where Antares and Keane separated them selves from the ruck, and came on in close order with the favourite. At the distance Keane had to fall back into the rear, and Antares got in close order with the King, the two coming on by themselves, King of Hearts having a slight advance. A most magnificent finish then took place with the two, when the favourite won by a neck ; Keane was a bad third ; the rest were placed in the order above, but were all widely scattered.

I SUN OFFICE; Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Bolton Corporation; Brighton, Uckfield, and Tunbridge Wells Railway; Hawick Police and Improvement ; and Stockport, Timperley, and Al trincham Junction Railway Bills. MINES TRESPASSES PREVENTION BILL. Mr. SHERIDAN, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that its object was to prevent the depredations that wete frequently committed in mines, by which a great loss was inflicted on mine proprietors. By the present law very little provision was made to meet these injuries, and serious complaints were made in consequence by parties who were unable to obtain redress. The only remedy at present was an application to the Court of Chan cery, which was a very roundabout process, or an action at common law for trespass. Before the commence ment of such action, however, the injury was committed, and very frequently no redress was obtained, as the persons who were the offending parties were frequently men of straw, and in many cases the injury was not discovered until legal remedy was barred by the Statute of Limitation. What he proposed by the bill was, to enable a mine owner, on his making an affidavit before the Judges in Chambers, that he believad an injury had been inflicted on his pro perty, to obtain an order for inspecting the same. The hon. member here read extracts from the evidence of mine inspectors, to show the extent to which those injuries were carried. Mr. PAULL said that, although his name was on the back of the bill, he informed the hon. member who intro duced it that he was opposed to its provisions, as it had mot the approval of mine proprietors generally, Mr. CLIVE opposed the bill, which was objectionable because even on suspicion an underground warrant could be obtained before the: injury was ascertained, which took it out of the category of the law relating to injury be tween man and man. To justify the introduction of such a measure, it should be shown that some great public interest was involved, and he advised his hon. friend to withdraw the bill. Mr. DENMAN said he was surprised that the Solicitor- General (now the Attorney-General) had opposed this bill, which he believed was in accordance with the liberal principles which had actuated the present Government. The hon. and learned gentleman mentioned many cases which had come within his own experience which showed that justice had been defeated on account of conscientious objections to taking an oath. Witnesses in such cases were not allowed to give evidence, and were not unfre quently punished for their refusal. The evidence of such persons would in many cases be more to be relied upon than the evidence of those who readily took the oath, and never thought about it afterwards. The house went into committee on the bill. The various clauses having been agreed to, the bill was reported to the house, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. SHERIFFS' COURT (SCOTLAND) (No. 2) BILL. This bill was withdrawn, INDICTABLE OFFENCES (METROPOLITAN DISTRICT) BILL. The consideration of this bill was postponed till this day week. LOCAL GOVERNMENT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered and agreed to. IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. METROPOLIS 'LOCAL ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. The clauses to 71 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 72, Mr. LOCKE said this was a very important clause, and gave powers to the board of which he did not approve. He alludel to the case of a church at the West-End, wherein a most unjust decision in reference to a projection of a church in the neighbourhood and the pulling down of the chancel, which deprived 200 of the poor inhabitants of a place of worship, Vice-Chancellor Stuart decided that the board was wrong, and an appeal was made to the late Lord Chan cellor, who decided in their favour merely on a point of Mr. BRISTOW said that the board were guided in these matters by the advice of their architect. Mr. LOCKE did not consider that explanation satis factory. W ;—. . Sir G. C. LEWIS said that in his opinion the explana tion given was quite satisfactory, and he would vote for the clause. After some further conversation the committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority.... The clause was accordingly lost. The remaining clauses were agreed to. SUPPLY. The report of supply was brought up and agreed THE TURNPIKE ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PUBLIC WORKS HARBOUR BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed_ The house adjourned at four o'clock. THE SERIOUS CHARGP AGAINST BARON - DE VIDIL. This afternoon the neighbourhood of Bow-street Police court presented a scene of the greatest excitement, in con sequence of its being generally known that the Baron de Vidil would undergo a further examination on the chai ge of attempted murder, preferred against him by his own son. The Police-court became crowded long before the com mencement of the proceedings. Lord Alfred Paget, M.P., Mr. Gaskell, M.P., and several other influential gentlemen occupied seats on the magistrate's bench. At three o'clock, in accordance with the arrangements entered into on Monday last, the prisoner Louis Pons de Vidil was placed at the bar, in charge of Smith of the de tective iorco. He sat down in the dock, and, as on his former examina tion, covered his face with his hands. Mr. Charles Pollock, instructed by Mr. Ellis, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh and Mr, Orridge defended the accused. On the first witness, Alfred John do Vidil, being called into the witness bog; in a low trembling voice, he said—l wish to say a worcl.or two before the proceedings com mence. I had hoped that, as I am labouring under a very painful infirmity, I should not have been called upon to give evidence. When I applied for the warrant, I did so merely for my own protection, and did not think that those who had the execution of it would succeed in carry ing it into effect. I had hoped such would have been the case, but it is not so, and I must, therefore, remain silent. I cannot tell what effect it may have upon me refusing to speak, or what may be done, but I hope I shall bo able to undergo anything which may befal me for refusing to speak. I do not know whether I should speak falsely if I should insinuate anything against the prisoner. I wish also to state that those gentlemen who have moved in this matter have done so at my request, which was made to thorn solely for the protection of my own life. If the pri soner insists that I shall give evidence I will do so, but before I do so I must say he has been most unfortunate. Mr. Sleigh—lf any insinuation is made against the pri soner, I beg to say the witness is labouring under great misapprehension. Mr. Pollock—l must beg that all remarks be reserved until the case is proceeded with in the regular way. M. de Vidil—lt is a very painful position I am placed in. My duty, I think, is to deline going on with the case. Mr. Corrie—lt is, no doubt, a very painful position ; but you have a duty to perform, and all must sympathise with you. Mr. Sleigh—lf the witness declines to be sworn, there— Mr, Pollock—l must object to such suggestions being made by my learned friend, as they appear to be made for the purpose of influencing the witness. Mr. Corrie—l have said before that it is a painful duty, but it must be performed. It is your duty b speak out, and tell all you know. M. de Vidil—lt is my opinion that it is the duty of a child to undergo any punishment in order to protect a parent, and I do not assent to the law that would compel other wise. Mr, Corrie—Do you refuse to take the oath ? M. do Vidil—l do. Mr. Corrie—Then it is my painful duty to commit you to prison. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk—Officer, take him into custody. The young man was then removed from the court in custody of ono of the detective officers. Mr. Sleigh— If it would not be inconvenient I should like to consult with the gentleman who has instructed me in this matter, namely, Mr. Wontner, on what has just taken place, and with the learned gentleman who appears for the Crown in this case. After an absence of about a quarter of an hour the learned gentlemen returned into court. Mr. Sleigh—l have conferred with my learned friend Mr. Pollock, the counsel who appears on the part of the Crown to prosecute in this painful case. I cannot but say the conduct of the young gentleman is both creditable to his head and heart, and what we propose is that you, sir, should adjourn the further hearing of this case until Fri day, or any other day that may be convenient to yourself. Mr. Corrie—Friday will do for me very well. Mr. Sleigh—l am exceedingly obliged to you, sir, for con senting to that part of the arrangement. I have now another request to make, and I don't think after what has taken place my learned friend will object to it, and that is that the baron, who has suffered severely since he has been in prison on this charge, may be admitted to bail. Not in any trifling amount, but in such large and substantial terms as you, sir, may think the importance of the case requires. Mr. Pollock —With respect to the adjournment, I have no objection. As to the advisability of admitting the pri i soner to bail, af ter what I have seen in court, I shall not expresi APY o pinion one way or the other, but I shall leave it entirely in the hands of the Court to act as may be thought most proper. Mr. Corrie—When Friday was fixed for further proceed• ing with this case I did not think of the fact that, as 1 have committed the young man to prison for seven days, he would be discharged before that time. We had better fix some of cr day. Mr. Sleigh—Friday next, your worship, not Friday week, is the day we fixed upon. Mr. Corrie—l have no difficulty in complying with the first part of your request, namely, an adjournment of the further hearing of this case until Friday next ; but I can not think of taking bail for the appearance of the prisoner, as the case at present stands. Mr. Pollock—Then, perhaps, sir, the young man can be liberated from custody and restored to his friends ? Mr. Corrie—He will only be kept in custody as a matter of law; he will be subjected to no punishment, and, there fore, cannot suffer much from such confinement. As the matter now stands he will only be detained little more than a day. I cannot suffer such a refusal as he has been guilty of, in open court, to pass over without protest. Mr. Pollock—Mr. Parker, his relative, is a map,istrato of the county of Middlesex, and what I have seen of this young man's state of mind I think it would be better if he was given over to that gentleman, with the understanding that he should produce him in court on Friday next. Mr. Parker—l think his health, which is at present very delicate, would be broken down by any confinement. Mr. Corrie—The time he will remain in custody is very short. Mr. Parker—l will undertake that he appears here next Friday. Mr. Sleigh—l think, sir, with all deference to your opi nion, that as Mr. Parker is a magistrate, the young gentle man might be safely entrusted to his care until the day he is required to be in attendance. _ _ _ Mr. Pollock—l must say, from what I have learned, that many of the young gentleman's friends are fearf u l, from the present state of his health, of the result of any im prisonment being inflicted on him. Mr. Corrie—lf you think it more likely to benefit the case that the young man should remain with his relative, Mr. Parker, I shall make no further objection. Mr. Polleck (addressing Mr. Parker)—Will you, sir, take charge of the young man in yOur capacity as a magis trate of the county of Middlesex ? Mr. Parker—Certainly. Mr. Pollock (to Mr. Corrie)—l may mention that the medical gentleman who attend, M. de Vidil is of opinion that imprisonment would be unendurable at the present time. Mr. Corrie—What's the gentleman's name ? Is he here ? Mr. Pollock—lt is Mr. James. He is in court. Mr. James here came forward, and having been sworn, Mr. Corrie said—Are you the medical man who has at tended M. de Vidil? If so, do you think any confinement in prison would be prejudicial to him in his present state of health ? Mr. James—l think it would be prejudicial to him. Mr. Corrie—Projudicial, but not dangerous ? Mr. James—l cannot say that it would endanger his life, but I think his liberation at the present moment is highly important. . Mr. Come—Bring the young man into Court. M. de Vidil was then brought in in the custody of the officer. Mr. Corrie—Having reconsidered the circum stances of the case, I have come to the conclusion, instead of sending you to prison for your refusal to give evidence, that you should remain in charge of your friends until this case is further proceeded with. During that time you will have an oppor tunity of consulting with your advisers as to your present course. You have a duty to perform to your sovereign and society, and however painful it is you ought not to re fuse its fulfilment. I hope you will fully consider the position you are placed in. You will have to give evidence, and it is to be desired that you would do so voluntarily rather than by compulsion. The young man was then given over to the custody of his friend, and the Baron, his father, was removed from the dock. During the time the young man was in court he appearei to be suffering from great agitation and nervousness. The prisoner did not betray any great mental depression. His request for a seat in the dock was complied with at the be ginning of the proceedings, and immediately he seated him self he covered his face with his hands to avoid the gaze of the persons on the magistrate's bench, and remained in that position during the whole of the proceedings. Towards the close of the case a letter was handed to him, yet he read the communication resting on his knees in order to avoid the necessity of raising his head. The crowd remained assembled outside the court during the whole of the time the case lasted, in order to witness the departure of the prisoner from the police court to the House of Detention.

A letter from Naples, dated July 6, says :—The judicious manner in which the exhumation of the city of Pompeii is now being carried on, and the 'interesting discoveries which have been recently made there, render a visit to that locality more than usually attractive, in spite of the heat, dust, and danger of reactionary marauders who infest the slopes of 'Mount Vesuvius. I must own that, often as I have wandered about the solitary streets of Pompeii at different periods, it had never as yet been my lot to find the implements of modern war fare mingled with the relics of the past; but in my last visit a few days ago, whilst examining the new Thermca in the street of Holconius I picked up a leaden bullet, which could not possibly be taken for the glans of some Roman slingsman, and as I saw a newly inflicted round fracture on the decorated wall immediately above the spot where the bullet was lying, I concluded that the missile had been recently discharged from a bona fide modern musket. M y gu id e con fi rmed this supposi tion by informing me that in consequence of the erratic propensities of King Francis's partisans, and thei r nocturnal predatory habits, the National Guards and v il lagers of the environs vvere kept continually on the alert, and that stray bullets were frequently dropping into the houses and temples of Pompeii. youdrescartitbeendt,ioln willto what limit has my already lVith beenoucalling t frequently brief notice of the operations now going on to the most recent and hitherto unpublished discoveries. These have been made nearly opposite to the new Therme, and have revealed a house consisting ©f 16 rooms, besides kitchen, offices, and two shops on each side of the entrance. The peristyle, irregular in form, consists of 14 yellow and white columns, which offer the peculiarity of having leaden pipes inserted into them, which, at about three feet from the pavement, threw jets of water towards the tank iu the centre of the atrium, which was also adorned with a fountain and statue of Cupid, on a base repre senting the rape of Europa. In this atrium was found an iron brazier, with coals still in it. No other moveable objects were found in the house, but the de corations on the walls were in good style and excel lent preservation, especially i n the g yn e ecium or women's apartments. Amongst the striking subjects I noted down ‘‘ Apollo and D a ph ne ;" " Ul ysses discovering Achilles disguished in female apparel ;" " The Judgment of Paris," a composition which I fonnd extremely curious for the costume of that classic personage. The painter had represented him in a Phrygian cap, a green tunic tied with a yellow sash, and a crimson mantle over it, yellow stockings, and white shoes, with red soles and heels, and red ribbons. The two elder godesses were also fantastically draped, but Venus revealed her naked charms to the arbiter of celestial beauty. Another remarkable painting represented a Satyr, uncover ing a beautiful sleeping figure of Ariadne, towards whom Bacchus was approaching with a triumphant air, followed by a joyous troop of nymphs and bacchantes. In the next house to the one I have just men tioned the decorations on the walls are inferior, but the objects found are of great value and in terest. In the atrium appears a marble table supported by two legs finely carved in the form of winged lions. There is also on a pedestal a well executed bust, probably that of the proprietor, with the name—C. Cornelius Rufus. The moveable treasures discovered consist of two bronze busts, evidently likenesses, presenting the peculiarity of glass and amber eyes—these are now in the national (formerly Borbonico) museum—a large fragment of a bronze cabinet, with six knobs, elegantly worked into busts of bacchantes and fauns. The bottom of the inside of this cabinet was of gold, and it con tained two buttons or meda!lions of gold, repre senting the head of Penelope on an enamelled ground. There was also a large gold ring, with a cornelian intaglio of Hercules, of GreeCchisel, and the name of the engraver, an addition which always enhances the value of such works. Several other rings were found and about 60 silver coins. As a continuation of the fresco decorations in their uncovered exposure to the atmosphere would infallibly lead to their destruction in a very short time, it has been resolved to remove the best of them to the museum ; and this will be effected not by sawing out a piece of the wall, as hereto fore, but by transferring the picture to cloth ac cording to the method now in practice at Rome, whence two skilful artists in that delicate process have lately arrived to undertake the operation. Under the direction of the inspector•general, Don Giuseppe Fiorello, and the chief architect Don Gaetano Genovesi, the excavations are proceeding in a methodical but rapid manner, and the unco vering of the whole city which, in the same ratio as the portion hitherto revealed, would have required about four centuries, is expected to be effected in 15 years. A tram-way has been laid down f:•r the removal of the earth and ashes out of the city, and a large number of lab:1111.0ra are now engaged in opening a street behind the new Theraite, which leads from the Via di Strabia to the Forum, and may be expected to give interesting results. I saw the houses excavated under the inspection of King Victor Emmanuel during his visit to Pompeii, but they turned out to be rather mean residences, situated at the back of the Forum, devoid of deco rative or architectural beauty, but highly interest ing on account of the number of bronze and other utensils and coins discovered in them. , ARRIVALS AT STAMFORD.

AQUATICS. GREAT BOAT RACE FOR £lOO. The antagonism of the North and South was continued yesterday in a scullers''contest between Robert Clasper, the son of Henry Clasper, of the Tyne, and Edward Eagers, of Chelsea, and a finer race has been rarely seen. It unfor tunately happened that the demerits of a foul were called into account, a circumstance in every way to be regretted, as most unsatisfactory to those who had speculated large sums upon the result. The distance was from Putney to Mortlake, and the odds 7to 4 and 2to lon Eagers. The race did not start until nearly eight at night, when a great number accompanied it on board steamers and in small boats. Clasper won the choice of stations, and took the Middle sex side. The men, both very small, looked well, and were evidently anxious to get to work. The start was very fine, and both men had their skulls at work at the same moment. Clasper had a lead of about a foot, and at an extraordinary pace they began their race, the water being as smooth as a well-kept bowling-green. In a minute Eagers was level with his man, and then in the succeeding three or four strokes they made alternate shoots, still continuing at a great pace. At Craven Cottage Clasper had drawn himself clear, but just as they got to Hammersmith-bridge, Eagers, rowing anew and with great power, came right upon his adversary, and a foul was necessarily the result. At that time Clasper was lead ing by three-quarters of his length, and, getting away, was at work again in fine style, when Eagers a second and a third time foiled him, and then went in front. At first Clasper did not seem disposed to row, but, again applying himself to the work, came within a length and a half of Eagers, in which position they finished. The referee, Mr. Ireland, a gentleman of the London R ow i ng club, decided that Clasper had fairly won the stakes, in which decision every impartial aquatic man concurred. 211 IS DAY'S SKIPPING.

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.; After M. Leverrier's statement concerning the comet, which we gave on Wednesday last, the most interesting communication received at the last sitting was that of M. Guyon, on the hot springs of Bou Shater, in the regency of Tunis. The village of that name stands on the site of Utica, where Cato died. M. Fuyou is the first European vtho visited these springs, which he did in 1850, being attracted to the spot by a group of women, who were sitting around them, and calling out " Alloo ! Alloo !" by which they meant to invite a large tortoise (Emyde leprosa) to come to them. This creature has been living there from time immemorial, and is therefore in odour of sanctity among the in habitants. M. Guyon saw it again alive and well in 1856. The women of the locality g o daily to feed it, when it comes out of its retreat, and allows itself to be taken up without difficulty. The springs rise at the foot of a palm tree, north of Bou-Shater, forming a basin about two metres in diameter ; whence the waste water spreads out into the adjoining ground for want of a regular bed, and forms a marsh of some extent, covered with reeds and other plants peculiar to this sort of soil. The inhabitants wash their linen and wool in this water, and their cattle drink of it daily. Caesar mentions these springs in his Com mentaries, stating at the same time that they make the ground marshy. (De Bello Civill, lib. 11, 24). At that time Utica lay on the sea shore, while it is now about three miles distant from it. The 'water itself is clear, and has no bad taste ; the inhabitants use it for their drink, after having let it cool. Its temperature varies, according to the season between 36 and 40 deg. Centigrade (95 an d 104 ' Fehr.) It contains soda, lime, magnesia, and traces of iron and phosphorus; but its most remarkable ingredient is arsenic acid, in the shape of arseniates of potash and soda, . . 1 . which it contains as much as one-sixth of its weight. Here again the identity of these springs of Utica is confirmed, and soldiers of Curio, having encamped on i t t h h i vomiting, since Appianus states drunk of these waters, were seized with nor does the and other symptoms of poisoning; effects to historian at all hesitate to ascribe these he says, tilt malignity of the inhabitants, the who, fact be ac at7essistihtea,t the • d the wells. But how can poisoned d a y these waters inhabitants, who occasion no inconvenienceto enters into some dis use them freely? M. Guyon counted for that at the present day d observes that these springs, rendered h re m d cussion on this point / ortheeillof the Romans, in conse• position since the some earthquake or other convulsion of quence of having, as is not 1111 triaemqneuently the case, shifted their with arsenic than at present. We would pregnated tr mmay l y have been suggest in habitants proof to the poison, arsenic being pre the soil cisely one of those to which the body may get accus tomed; witness the arsenic -eaters of ' al m so ay th h a a t v h e ab fo i . Hungary, who use the drug in order to acquire a florid complexion. The Roman soldiers, being new comers, could not fail to be attacked with alarming symptoms on described drinking such waters as those dbed : whereas . the inhabitants of that period may on.the contrary, like those of the 9 present have found them beneficial.
