The head-quarters of racing, not following the bad ex amples of Lincoln, Liverpool, and Northampton, but clothed in a spring garment, with balmy air and bright sunshine, has inaugurated the racing season in a most lamb-like fashion. The Craven is never a very fully attended meeting, No especial features of interest attach to it beyond the glimpse some of the events afford :of the various Derby favourites; for the Newmarket Handicap does not absorb much specu lation. It might be a subject for serious consideration whether four days would not be ample to dispose of the various items of sport, which, commencing on Tuesday, would not drag the racing world from their homes on Sun day to spend a wry dull afternoon in Newmarket. To-day the card was meagre in the extreme, and the eight events, including two matches marked on it, might well have been distributed over the rest of the week. Bathilde, despite her 71b penalty, found little difficulty in putting the Craven Plate to Lord Chesterfield's account, while a great favourite in Mr. Payne's Olivia, who started at evens, was ignomi niously defeated by the light weight, Jessie. The 50 soya Handicap brought together, with the exception of the Craven Plate, the only tolerable field of the day, and re sulted in the victory of Rouge Crosse, a Derby outsider, which ran forward in the July Stakes last year. The match between Clarissimus and Catch-'em Alive excited, perhaps, the greatest amount of interest of the afternoon's events, and there was a good deal of betting on it, Catch 'em-Alive winning a good race by a length and a half. A good race for the 50 soya Sweepstakes, which was carried oft by Planet, who immediately after came into the betting on the Derby, wound up an indifferent afternoon's sport. The Craven Plata of 50 sovs, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age. The winner to be sold for 500 soya if demanded, &c., or to carry 71b extra ; and horses to be sold for 100 soya, allowed 71b. A.F. Lord Chesterfield's Bathilde, 3 yrs, 9st 91b (71b extra) (Ashmall) 1 Baron Rothschild's Algarsife, 3 yrs, 7st 31b (71b ex) (Loates) 2 Sir J.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Argonaut, sto 1 agst Bathilde, 6 6 to 1 agst Tourist, 12 to 1 apt Cowley, and 100 to 7 agst Algarsife. Argonaut, in company with Algarsife - and Tourist, got away in front at the third attempt, and made the running, followed on the extreme right by Bathilde, Cowley, and Knave of Trumps, with Dunkeld and Michael on their left. They ran thus to the bushes, where Argonaut gave way to Tourist, who came en slightly in advance of Algarsife and Bathilde into the bottom, where he was beaten, and gave way to the latter, who obtained a slight advantage half way in the cords, and won easily by three-quarters of a length; three lengths separating the second and third; Tourist, beaten a neck, was fourth; Dunkeld fifth; the last two were Wee Aggie and Custard Castle.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day, OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE EFFECTS OF THE NIGHT HOUSES IN THE HAYMARKET. Charles Robertson St. Quinton, a fashionably dressed military-looking young man, said to be most respectably connected, describ e d as on ly 17 y ears of age, was indicted for obtaining the sum of £5 under fraudulent pretences, there being also a charge of uttering a forged order for the payment of £lO, with intent to defraud Messrs. Grindley and Co., the army agents. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the first charge; no evidence being offered in the second charge, the prisoner was acquit ted. It appeared that the prisoner, who represented himself as belonging to the 10:h Hussars, there being an cffieer of the name o f St. Quinton in that regiment, but not the same Christian name as the prisoner, had been in the habit of frequenting the night-houses in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket, and particularly one in Panton-street, of which the nominal prose cutor, Howard, who kept a brothel in Pimlico, was waiter. On the occasion of the prisoner obtaining the £5 from Howard at Pimlico, he gave him what purported to be a cheque drawn by him in his own name for £lO on Messrs. Grindley and Co. The cheque, on being presented for payment, was pronounced to be a forgery, which led to the prisoner's apprehension on that charge, which, however, was afterwards withdrawn. Mr. Sleigh said he was instructed on the part of tho prosecution that the prosecution had no desire to press unnecessarily against the prisoner. Mr. Orridge, for the prisoner, urged upon the Court that this was a case in which the Court would be justified in dealing with leniently. He was in structed by a most respectable solicitor at Norwich for the friends of the prisoner to say that they were ready to enter into any undertaking to send the prisoner abroad immediately, that he might be able to retrieve himself and his character. The prisoner had no doubt acted very improperly, but it would be the salvation of the prisoner if he was allowed to be sent abroad by his friends. The learned Judge having retired, and consulted one of tt e other judges, on his return ordered the judgment 10 be respited until next session. George Oust, 17, barman, and James Smith, glazier, were indicted, Oust with stealing 53.4 d., the property of his mas er, and Smith with receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. 'William Gouldsmith, licensed victualler, at the Grapes wine and spirit vaults, Fore-street, Cripple gate, as barman ; and it being suspected that he was in the constant habit, in concert with some other person, of robbing his employer, his movements were watched, and marked monies placed in the till, which led to his detection. The money was found on the other prisoner. The jury found both pri soners guilty. Mr. Kemp stated that since the prisoner Oust had been in custody the prosecutor found that his takings for the last 30 days exceeded the previous 30 by upwards of £9O, therefore he had every rea son to believe he had been extensively robbed by the prisoners. The learned Judge sentenced both prisoners to five years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE THIEVES AT THE GARIELLDIAN PROCESSION.— Joseph Barrett, John 111 'Kenzie, and Patrick Fitzroy, three determined-looking fellows, were charged by Mr. James Thompson, one of the chief inspectors of the Department, Scotland-yard, with attempting to pick pockets, and having two gold watches and one silver watch in their possession. Inspector Thompson said that yesterday afternoon, about half past five, while at the end of St. James's street, in company with Sergeant Coathorpe, he observed the three prisoner hastily leave a gen tleman and make their way up St. James's street. He noticed Barrett pass something to Fitzroy, and then they all set to running. He followed M`Kenzie and suc ceeded in capturing him, and on taking him into custody he said, "It's all right, 11.1 r. Thompson, dont take me.' While he had been pursuing 11.1.'Kenzie he noticed him throw something down an area, and on going back to the area he found the gold Geneva watch produced. At the station a clasp knife was found on Barrett, and on Fitzroy two watches—the whole of the watches being broken at the bow. Sergeant Edwin Coathorpe, of the detective department, proved following the prisoners up St. James's-street, and said that he took Barrett, and a constable whom he called to his assistance, took Fitzroy. Fitzroy threw the constable, and on his (Coathorpe) going back with Barrett to the con stable's assistance he took the two watches produced out of Barrett's inner coat-pocket. A constable named Driver, 398 A, corroborated the pre vious evidence. A foreign gentleman named Ferren, staying at Draper's Hotel, Piccadilly, identified one of the watches produced by Sergeant Coathorpe. The watches in the hands of the police are a silver lever, "Robinson, maker," and a gold Geneva, Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial. Gaorge Pennington, a lad, was charged by Sergeant Charles Coles, 23 C, with attempting to steal the breastpin of a gentleman, and remanded. Edward Pearson, and Thomas Simpson were charged with loitering for the purpose of committing a felony, but discharged. William Huscroft was charged with stealing a purse in Pall-mall. Sergeant Cole saw the prisoner with another lad in Pall mall, and knowing them, watched them, and saw the pri soner and the other lad pick a female's pocket, but she re fused to attend to prosecute. o c Prisoner wished to be tried b y the magistrate, and was committed for three months with hard labour.

On searching the prisoner, he found a silk handkerchief, no doubt stolen. Prisoner said it was all false, but he wished it settled at once. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for three months. There were several other charges of a similar kind, and they were disposed off in different ways. THAMES, OUTRAGE ON TOW ER-HlLL.—Jame s Crawley, an Irish labourel . who Paget h ohasnaortgbod s h beam long in England, was b ro ught before realiug a br ooc h, va l ue d 2 s , from the person of Mrs. Sarah Blunkney, a married tNoman, dwelling at 5, Phillip-street, Back - church-laue, St. George in-the-East.

A City police-constable, 563, stated that the prisoner was intoxicated when he took him into custody, and he said, " I might have run against the woman —I don't know whether I did or not." The prisoner, who said he was a dock labourer, repeated what he said to the police constable and declared that he did not take the brooch. Mrs Blunkney—He grasped the brooch, and took it right away from me. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Priscilla Tebley, a young woman, was charged with stealing a watch from the person of William Coppern, a gentleman's servant. Prosecutor said that at 11 o'clock last night he was des patched from 19, Eaton-place, whoa he was in service, to Chapel. street, Grosvenor-place. On his return the prisoner placed herself suddenly before him, and commenced making some inquiries of him, in the course of which she came close to his side, and directly afterwards, as she was leaving him, he missed his watch, which had been adroitly cut from his guard and taken from his waistcoat pocket. He fol lowed, and asked her for his watch, but she declared she had not got it, and he then called a policeman and gave her into custody. Mr. Selfe asked the prosecutor if he had found his watch. Prosecutor replied that he had not , b u t said that a cir cumstance had occurred which enabled hi m to account for its not being found :—While the pris oner w as by his side, and just before she moved to go away, a man appr oac h e d, and after lingering a minute brushed by the prisoner, who might have passed the watch to him. Police constable James Sutton, 162 B, said the prisoner was given into his custody at a little after twelve. She denied the robbery. Mr. Salfe asked whether she was known I' The police said she had not been previously in custody for felony that they were aware of; but she was a person of loose character. She was remanded for a week, 'APRIL7- ; ,12, 1864. Garibaldi's Visit to the Dowager-Duchess of Sutherland. At an early hour this morning the court-yard of Stafford House was crowded with people in the supposition that at some time in the morning General Garibaldi would drive out, and that they might have an opportunity of catching a glimpse at him without undergoing the difficulties which presented themselves yesterday. By mid-day the yard was densely thronged, and much interest began to be excited Nv hen it was rumoured that at half-past 12 the General would leave Stafford House for Chiswick. Precisely at that hour one of the Duke's car riages drove into the yard, and in a few minutes the General stepped into it, followed by the Doke of Sutherland and another gentleman. The carriage was at once driven down St. James's-street and Piccadilly to Chiswick, where the General and the Duke partook of luncheon with the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland. General Garibaldi was greeted with immense cheers as ho quitted Stafford House. Garibaldi's Reception. (From the limes Paris Correspondent.) Our old acquaintance M. Assolent gives in the Courrier du Dirnanche an account of the proceedings in England on the occasion of Garibaldi's visit. Garibaldi, it seems, had heard while in Caprera of the probability, or rather the certainty,of there being a large surplus revenue for the English Exchequer. He knew the amount exactly as it has been declared by Mr. Gladstone, and he resolved to set out at once for the only country where such a phenomenon oc coned. The surplus, he conceived, should not be applied to so common-place a purpose as reducing taxation, but to the higher and nobler object of pro curing the million of muskets which he hao so often and so vainly called for, to enable him to complete Italian unity. When Garibaldi's intention was known all who speak the language of Shakspere bounded with joy, for they were about to behold what they have never yet beheld—a real bona fide hero. The list of English heroes is, to be sure, rather long; but, somehow or other, not one of them is the genuine article. English heroes are but a mixture of linen, thread, and cotton. Cromwell was only a preacher and a tradesman. Marlborough sold his country, his army, and himself for 20,000,000 f.; Clive, while he held a sword in one hand, wielded with the other the yard-measure of the shopkeeping East India Company ;Nelson had the courage and the furious appetites of a bulldog; and Wellington him self, the only constantly lucky General of the present century, speculated so well in his trade of killing men, and gained so many domains, honours, titles, and pensions that the best eulogium one can bestow upon him is that he was a capital accountant and a clever man." As for Garibaldi. no one has ever doubted his being a hero of the true type, for he had not, like the others, a ready-made army under his command. He held out at Rome, in 1849, two months against the French army, which certainly is not an army of pasteboard ; he baffled the Aus trians, who were in his pursuit ; in 1859 he was the first to enter Lombardy with his volunteers; and in 1860, when all Italy hesitated, he landed in Sicily with his thousand crusaders. The English receive Garibaldi with enthusiasm, for enthusiasm is the cheapest mode of flattering Italy. They did not give a man or a shilling for the campaign of 1859; but they will with pleasure give the hero plum pudding and sandwiches for 15 days, not to speak of tea in the evening. They will buy his photographic portraits; shout for him as he passes along in procession ; drink thousands of gallons of beer to his health ; write in their news papers that he is the first, the greatest, the most illustrious of all men (the English race, of course, excepted); and they will pay him enormous coin- pliments, in order that he may in turn tell them that they are the pick and choice of the huma❑ species—the chosen people of God, destined to teach all other people how they are to eat, drink, sleep, shout, think, and digest. In the same happy vein M. Assolant sketches the civic banquet that will not fail to be given to Garibaldi in London. As M. Assolant once spent a week in that city, he will, of course, be accepted as a perfectly competent authority on these enter tainments. The programme of the feast is this:— The Lord Mayor, wearing his wig, preceded by his ",enormous abdomen," and followed by his aldermen with red faces, will receive him on the stairs of the Mansion-house, seat him on his right hand, exactly opposite a tureen of turtle soup, of ox tail, and the ox itself roasted entire for exactly the space of 12 hours. The wines of France, Spain, and the Cape will be set flowing like the waters of a fountain. Two hundred English young women, the daughters of dukes, marquises, counts, and simple million noires, will shout with might and main the moment they see the hero. The hero will respond to these shouts with low bows, and will put his hand to his heart by way of showing that emotion prevents him from speaking, but does not affect his appetite. When the dessert is nearly over the Lord Mayor will rise and propose the " Health of the Queen," at the same time expressing the joy he feels at see ing by his side an illustrious stranger, who, &c.; and Garibaldi will reply that he had long desired to set his foot on English soil—on that soil which is the terro7 of the tyrant and the hope of the slave; and those Englishmen " who have so many shillings and so much liberty." As some apprehension will then arise that at this point Garibaldi may enter on financial matters, and pro pose to the guests to lend money to Italy, " which," as M. Assolant shrewedly observes, " is somewhat unpleasant after drinking," they will all hasten to applaud by way of interrupting him. Viscount Palmerston, " the facetious statesman," will next propose a toast in honour of the English ladies— "the finest and the most graceful in the universe." The toast will, of course, have its effect, for every true Englishman loves to drink, whether in honour of the ladies or for his own private satisfaction. Then the noble viscount, will propose a toast to the English volunteers, which will be as well received as the first; and he will launch out into praises of English valour, English industry, the English navy, the English militia, and the English artillery; but he will not forget to impress upon the company that it is his vigilance only that has saved England from French invasion, and that if he had not spent two or three thousand millions of francs in building forts and ironclads the turtle soup which his hon. friend the Lord Mayor placed on the table would not be safe in English stomachs, but be swallowed by the frog-eaters on the other side of the channel, as well as the excellent ox tail with which his hon. friend had also supplied the guests. The company will, after this speech, be convinced of the patriot ism and eloquence of the viscount, " for" adds M. Assolant, " the best way to gain applause from your hearers is to lavish praise upon them." The scene thus faithfully sketched will be re• peated in Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glas gow, Bristol, York, and, in fact, in every place where Garibaldi shows himself. An excellent din ner, choice wines, great compliments, drums and trumpets —nothing will be wanting, But the mo ment he attempts to utter a word about business, or to hint about the million of muskets he wishes to have, purses and hearts will be instantly closed. "The Englishman in his house and the Englishman in his shop are two very different persons." If, as there can be little doubt, M. Assolant has been favoured by the Lord Mayor with an early copy of his programme cf the civic feast, the menu of the Mansion house must be strangly restricted, for in M. Assolant's summary of it the solid part of the entertainment consists only of turtle and ox tail soup. The Nottingham Ancient Imperial United Order of Oddfellows, who number about 3,500 members in the Sheffield Chapter., will hold a demonstration at Sheffield early in July. In accepting the invi tation of the committee, 11r. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., remarked that Mr. Gladstone's new measure ren• dered all pertaining to Oddfellows' Societies parti cularly interesting.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented several peti tions from officers in the East India Company, complaining of the non-fulfilment of certain provisions in the amalga mation of the two forces. He hoped the Government would soon be able to state what steps they intended to take in the matter. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Swansea Vale Railway, and Carmarthen and Car digan Railway bills were read a second time. The Stroud Gas, Chelsea 'Water, Hull Docks, and Southwark and Vauxhall Water bills were read a third time and passed. PUNISHMENT OF RAPE BILL. The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved the second reading of this bill. He had been induced to bring forward the bill in consequence of a case that had occurred at the last assizes held at Sligo, where the present law had been found totally inadequate to punish the perpetrators of the outrage. Lord RAVENS WORTH did not think the imposition of the additional punishment of flogging would remedy tho evil of which the noble marquis so justly complained. Earl GRANVILLE was understood to assent to the second reading of the bill. Earl GREY thought something ought to be done to in- duce the judges to better regulate the discretion with which they were invested by the law. In some cases the punish ment inflicted appeared quite inadequate to the offence corn • milted. After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord CRANWORTH, the hill was read a second time. CHARITABLE ASSURANCE ENROLMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee ; and was rep,rted, with amendments. THE CASE OF GEORGE HALL. _ _ _ The Earl of CARNARVON moved that an humble ad dress be presented to her M ajestytor copies of corresspondence relative to George Hall, convicted of murder at the War wick Assizes and respited on the 13th of March. The noble earl said he did not object to the decision of the Secre tary of State itself, butto the mode in which it was arrived at. In this case the Secretary of State had stated that a par- ticular thing should not be done, and yet within a tort night, without the slightest intention, the exact thing to which he had objected was done. (1. EFT S I TTI NG .) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. • PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Blockley and Barnbuiy Railway Bill was read u third time and passed. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Colonel TAYLOR, a writ was ordered to issue for the election of a member for the borough of Devizes, in room of Mr. Addington, now Lord Sidmouth. FIRE INSURANCE. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notice that he would draw the attention of the house at an early period to what he considered an injustice in regard to the tax on fire insu rance. THE SUEZ CANAL. Mr D. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Sultan had recently ordered the Pacha of Egypt to discontinue to supply forced labour to the works of the Suez Canal, and whether her Majesty's Government would support the Sultan in that deterrninaion ? Lord PALMERSTON explained that forced labour was not recently resorted to in reference to the construction of the Suez Canal. BUSINESS OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY; Mr. MURRAY asked the Attorney-General whether he intended to introduce this session an} bill to carry into effect the improvements in the management of the business of the Court of Chancery in the Accountant-General's office, as recommended by the report of the Chancery Funds Commission, and in other respects to carry into effect the other recommendations of the commissioners ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he could not promise, on the part of the Government, that any alteration would be made in the law relative to this subject daring the present session. BURIAL GROUNDS. In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE, Sir G. GREY explained that the law was explicit on the subject, and required that the minister of the parish should be turnished with information to enable him to make the proper registration. • -- CORK HARBOUR. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the President of the Board of Trade, as to the intentions of the Government with re• spect to Daunt's Rock, whether they intend to take imme diate measures to have it removed by blowing• it up, or whether they have resolved on at once giving the usual notice of the intention to place a light ship, with fog bell and signal gun, near it; and, if so, out of what sources do they propose that the cost of such light ship is to be de frayed. Mr. M. GIBSON said that the attention of Government had been drawn to the subject, but they saw no reason to take on themselves the expense of the work referred to, which he considered should be defrayed by the shipping frequenting the port of Cork. PUBLIC-HOUSES. _ _ Sir J. SHELLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government had 00E00 to any determination in reference to an alteration of the law regarding the regulations as to the hours at which licensed houses in the metropolis should be closed during the night? Sir G. GREY said that, on the recommendation ot the publicans themselves, he proposed to introduce a bill to compel the closing of publichouses at 4 o'clock in the morning. THE BARK SCIENCE. Mr, HASSARD asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the case of the bark Science, seized at l‘latamoras on the 5111 November last, had yet been adju dicated upon ; and, if it had not been adjudicated upon, asked if he would take steps to have such case disposed of without further delay. Mr. LAYARD said that the subject was under considera tion, and it would be premature on his part to make any official statement on the matter. SOLDIERS' GARDENS. Mr. W. EWART inquired of the Under Secretary of State for 'War what steps had been taken, or are about to be taken, to enable soldiers in camp (or elsewhere, where it is possible), to employ themselves in the cultivation of gar dens? lhe Marquis of HARTINGTON repeated the statement he made last week in refereuce to this subject, and referred to Aldershott to show the improvement that had taken place in the taste of soldiers relative to the cultivation of gardens. INDIAN OFFICERS. Captain JERVIS drew the attention of the house to the report of the royal commission on the subject of the memo• rials of Indian officers, and moved that the assurance in regard to the pensions and allowances of officers in the East India Company's service should not be departed from for the future, and that in those cases where it had been unjustly departed from full reparation should be made to the parties affected. Colonel SYKES supported the motion. The hon. and gallant member entered into a rather lengthy statement in reference to the subject, and contended that the claims of the officers in question should be taken into the considera tion of Parliamnt.

The Safeguard, belong ing to Hartlepool, i n b a ll ast f rom B a rcelona, in passing this rho Spanish fort of fort, about two miles from the shore, was fired into, the ball, a 28 pounder, passing through the ship's side, and lodging in the ballast. None of the crew were hurt, and fortunately the vessel was struck above the water line, else she might have sunk. The Mountaineer, which was shot into a short time ago and had a man killed, had not her flag tip, and did not salute the fort, and it is thought that neither had this vessel done so on passing.
