NAPLES AND SICILY.

(rams ova owes COIULICSPONDETT.)
NAPLIN, JULY el.
I haul scarcely posted my letters on Tuesday last
*ben the event 14 the week took place, which was
the fird appearance of the National Guard. I was
visiting a Neapolitan friend, when lon 1 cries of
" Viva ' anti dapping of hands assured us some-
thing was going ou, so down we riehel, and met a
patrol of the National Guards going to their station
for the night. It was scarcely a prudent thing to
bring them nut for the first time at night ; but let
that pas. it would he difficult to exaggerate the
enthusiasm of the population on this great oc-
casion. As the guard passed the immense crowd
drew up in lines on each side, applauding
most vociferously, though checked by the
mon themselves with the conventional " tsi,
bd." Nothing could, however, silence the
population who closed in behind and moons-
paned them to their quarters. Every window
in every house was Elled with ladies, who beat their
heath as well as any of them, sad in a moment a
rillumination was improvised. That which
saw sal describe u.s.k place in every quarter of
the city, and so it lasted till past one o'deck in the
morning. Ladies came down and visited the sta-
tion. " Gloria a Di., :" said annul woman whom
I paseed, "Cho bella c ;" and you mist have
been witueia of tho intense sufferings of the Nea-
politans for the last twelve years eq.4:cially, to be
in any doges) cap; hie of appreciating their en-
thusiasm. To them the National O aard represents the
ideas of justice and humanity ; they are the sub-
stitute+ of that infamous police awl of those hired
assassins who have so fait !days:Teed the tle,potista
of the Bourbons. At present, they have e.t donned
their uniforms, but are to be known by a tricolonred
rosette in their coats, whilst the commander of the
quarter wears a tricoloured sash 4,ver his shoulder
and round his wai.st. The number for tech of the
twelve quarters is at present WO, but this is to be
mused to 800. On the following morning some I.f
the new police, ton, made their appearance in plain
clothes, so that there is some appearance at least of
getting into a normal state of things ;_ whether
really so west depend on external events. Of course
it is impossible to predict what will be the perma-
nent feeling of the people from the enthusiastic
demonstration of the moment, hut it is pleasant
and retuarkable to see the contrast in their demea-
nour towards their 041 and new guardians—the
former shunned as a pestilence, the latter greeted with
sandhi'. I have v:4:tel several of the stations
of the National timed, and found crowds all
around then ; and I was present at the arrest of
one i 4 the old police by a patrol of guards, and
beard the "Vora."which were uttcrul, not so
hutch es an esismaion of triumph over the poor
devil, as delight at the tranquillity of the city
being nu ler the (sound of some themselves.
On Tuesday niet I saw an unfortunate spy
brought ui, blew hn4 front a knife wound in the
aids, and treniNing with fear. It is as likely as not
that he had been the ruin of many, but that
is DO justification of such acts, and I trust and ho-
lism that they are becoming rarer. But in defence
this really amiable awl ductile people let me ask,
is it astonishing that any ratan should seek to se
enge
the honour of a sister or a wife on a potio.ama, or
his own ruin is trade, or the death rim of beloved
Motives r

The outrage of Sunday Lest has produced a deep
and widely diffused sensation not only here, but in
foreign courts, and has ha some de;,rce retarded the
course 41 diplomatic negotiations. I repeat what
I have already said : I have no idea that this at-
tempt at reactios► mu he traced to the first person in
t►eatat., ; and ma b. the ministers, they are loud in
their denunciation of the atrocious atntir. In proof
of their deteinouaticm to check and punish such

infamous conduct two regiments of guards were
sent out of the capital on Wednesday morning—
one to Caserta and the other to Nola, where they ate
to be broken up and the soldiers drafted into other
regiments. So far good ' • but more is needed, and
more will, lam assured, be done. The people are,
however, impatient, and the reactionist party,
backed by the military, endeavour to retard and
embarrass as much as possible, and render any
arrangement whatever impossible.
Ou Thursday night there was a general illumina-
tion in honour of Garibaldi, the anniversary of
whose birthday it was. During the day parties of
three or four went round the city asking the people
to illuminate ; of course a request so conveyed was
not likely to be refused, and the illumination was
very general. It Li extraordinary, however, that
even ministers of state thought the movement ex-
pressive of confidence in the government, and illu-
minated their own houses, whilst the Nuncio, in
his enthusiasm, illuminated with three colours.
Last night there was another of those panics which
show the sensitive state of the public mind. Many of
the soldiers were let out of barracks with their side
arms, and by their numbers and their bearing created
great fear. The shops were all shut in a twinkling,
and some of them were not opened during the
evening. In fact there is no authority or order
or confidence in the capital or the country. Public
opinion is as violent as it can be ' • the military are
in a complete state of insubordination, and are a
standing menace to all good men ; thieves have
been going boldly about taxing the people, or rob-
bing them on the highway ; in fact it is to me a
question whether it will not be necessary for foreign
governments to help the travail of the Italians, by
pronouncing decidedly for their policy in some way
or other, instead of leaving them to run into yet
greater anarchy.
The ministry has this week been materially modi-
fied, and strengthened by the introduction of Ro-
mano as Minister of the Interior, and Lanzilli,
formerly Procurator-General, in Minister of Grace
and Justice. He is amen who enjoys the full con-
fidence of the country, and is as distinguished for
his learning as he is for the liberality of his opi-
nions. The Ministry of Public Instruction alone
remains, to be filled up, but in these stormy times
it is a ministry which may be left in abeyance.
Still the aspect of affairs becomes, in my opinion,
gloomier and gloomier. We have all men in ex-
tremes, and driven there by passion. " Down with
the Bourbons, and annexation for ever.!" " Viva
it 10., and hang the constitution !"—such would
be the phrases which would well describe the menti-
melds of either party. It is passion which leads.

000DWOOD RACES.—THUIt&DAY.
A prestige is attached to Cup days, ism at those meet-
ings at which Cups are merely traditions; the memory
of them survives, and the day on which they were wont
to be contested is always the popular holiday &loosest the
people in whose respective 'wellies they may be celebrated.
Goodwood like Epeom has only two leading attractions for
the pleasure seeking non-racing population At Epsom
the Derby and Oaks are the great events ; here the Stakes
and the Cup are deemed by the general company the most
prominent., or in fact the only features of the programme,
and they regard the minor events with as much unpatience
belated travellers who are anxious to arrive at their des-
tination bestow upon the tedious proems of collecting rail-
way tickets. Still the geoids., Witte do not direct their
attention solely to what are popularly deemed the great noes
of • meeting. far the stakes which are pored over by the
majority of the spectators as unoooiddered trifles are to
them frequently marked by as importance and an interest
which the uninitiated would have much difficulty in compre-
hending. The Cup day at Goodwood is perhaps the only
genuine and legitimate Cup day now celebrated in England,
for the event from which it derives its designation excites
an interest which is not limited to England alone, but which
pervades the sporting communities of France and America.
On this occasion two of the competitors were bred in the
former country, and two in the latter. If the attendance
on the "Stakes" day warn somewhat meagre, the assemble'e
of company to-day was numerous encugh to compensate the
fly and omnibus drivers for the lack of patronage which they
bad hitherto experienced. They certainly took advantage
of the opportuniq thus afforded them for =skim
money. They fixed their own scale of churn, to which
they rigidly adhered, land it was Hobson 's choice—walk or
ride--with those who refused to comply with their demands.
For a seat on the " knife-board" of a tottering omnibus, or
on the top of • ricketty coach, five shillings were charged,
and the passengers even then in most instances were com-
pelled to alight at the bottom of the long hill in the path
and complete the most tiring part of the journey on foot.
The compulsory pedestrians bad a great advantage in the
weather, for the ataaoqiiere was delightfully owl, sad
fragrant. The course promoted that py and petoresque
appearance which can 1» wWseseeff only at Good-
wood. To the right of the Grand Strand were
several dashing four-in-hands, on the roots of
which sumptuous luncheoes were net out. Little
picnics were formed under the trees in the enclosure, and
ladies occupied the reserved seats on the embankment or
promenaded the lawn below in Imp numbers, and ia a
most picturesque variety of attire. Their business of the
day was evidently to display the elegance of their toilettes,
and for this they had abundant opportunities, which they
used most effectively, and with complete success. The
muster of aristocratic patrons of the turf was never more
numerous. From France there was • peat number of
ladies and gentlemen ; and many American gentlemen were
present, who watched the running of the Yankee horses
with the liveliest interest. The great enjoymett with
which all people seemed to enter into the pursuit of sport
had only one alloy. A general regret was expressed
I that the Duke of Richmond, the firm supporter
of the meeting, and the dispenser of very liberal
hospitalities during the week, should be prevented by illness
from witnessing the sport, or in participating in the gaieties
of the gathering. His grace has been unable to visit the
course during the meeting.
The management of the crowd on the course was, ea it
always is under such experienced officers as Walker and
Brett, of the A division of the metropolitan police, admir-
able. A clear space was kept for the horses during their pre-
liminary canters, and the running ground was cleared with
extraordinary quickness and punctuality. The efforts of
the paffice were ably seconded by the whip and huntsman of
Lord Seacombe's hounds. The supply of sport was some-
what scanty. Verging-mein-Nicht, the pronounciation of which
name sorely puzzled certain members of the ring, defeated
the favourite Big Ben with much ease for the Bentinck
Memorial Stakes. Beg Ben seems to require rest. He
certainly looked dull in his coat and nothing like the colt he
was early in the scum. His defeat and the sucoem of
Diophantes were the only interesting events prior to the
principal race of the day.
The Cup was appointed to take place at a quarter to four,
and punctually to the time appointed eight competitors
assembled at the post. Amongst the starters were the
French bred horses, Gustave, the property of Baron Baths-
child, and &nave, the property of Count F. de Lagrange.
By the way, a belief is general amongst English racing men
that Zouave and other horses that run in the count's name
Wow; to the Emperor Napoleon, who, it is said, still re-
tains the partiality for the turf be acquired during his
sojourn in England. Starke and Optimist were the'repre-
eneetives of the American hones. The betting at the
close was remarkable for the great support conceded to Hor-
ror, who, when the flag dropped, had- the decided call of
Starke. Both were beuten, and the race was won by ten
lengths by Sweetsauce, who has thus carried off both the
great cups of the meeting, having won the Steward's Cup.
After the race offers weremade to take 10 to 1 about Sweet-
sauce for the St Leger.
The cup was manufactured by Mears. London and Ryder,
of 17. New Bond-street. It was exhibited in the saloon of
the Grand Stand, and the elegance of ifs design and its
beautiful and elaborate execution excited great admiration.
Dundee sustained his reputation by the style in which he
won the radon Stakes.

off, hut on passing the stud Zounve took up the running
with Gustave; Optimist and Hi4liwayntau next; Sweetsauce
and Starke being the last two. On approaching the turn
out of the straight Starke went through his horses and
forced the pace, because Ili+ stable companion, . Optimist,
was incapable of accomplishing the task, and lying second
and third were Gustave and Sweetsauoe. They had scarcely
travelled a hundred yards, however, when Zousve bore his
colours in the van, ant soon put an interval of a doyen
lengths between himself and ha pursuers, Gustave going on
second, Starke, Highwayman, Horror, and Optimist lying
up at his heels, and Butterfly dropping into the ex-
treme rear. As they neared the clump, Gustave
separated himself from the ruck by an interval of about a
couple of lengths, and Zoilave's lead began to diminish.
Horror was, however, at the side of Gustave on rounding
the turn, but did not keep that position long. dropping
' behind Starke, who soon passed Gustave, headed Zounve,
andin a few strides took up the running,attende.l byZotiare
and Gustave, the others, with the exception of Butterfly
and Optimist, who were in the rear, going on side by side.
Horror was in difficulties on descending the bill, and Sweet.
rue* went up to Starke, who was beaten at the distance,
Gustave becoming second. The race from that point was
over, for Sweetsauce cantered away from his opponents
without an effort, and won by ten lengths. Gustave bombed
two lengths in advance of Zoisave, at whose girths finished
Starke ; Butterfly was filth, sad Highwayman, Horror, and
Optimist did not pass the post.

gist is now vested in them by. conveyance from her. In the
case of " Kennedy r. Green" it wits held that the deed was
granted under such circumstances that it passed the
estate, and, therefore, was not wholly void but
voidable. The deeds of April, 1856, are wholly void.
If the plaintiffs had discovered the imposition
practised upon him before the transaction between Hughes
and the defendant, and had filed his bill to have the deeds
of April, 1856, delivered up to be cancelled, on the ground
of the fraud practised upon him by Hughes, there can be
no doubt but that the court would have declared those
deeds tobe wholly void, and would have decreed that they
should be delivered up to be cancelled. As the persons named
as grantor and grantee had no mind or intention that any
estate should pass from the one to the other, and were
merely cheated into the execution of the deeds without a
knowledge of their contents, no estate would pans and no
reconveyance could properly be directed. If the canaella-
Con of the deeds be the proper form of relief by the plain.
tiff as apinst Hughes and Hrs. Jones' the case cannot be
altered by the second imposture on Mrs. Jones and the
other defendanta, and the form of relief should bo the
same. There must be a declaration that the execution of
four deeds of the 24th of April, 1856, was obtained by the
fraudulent connivance of David Hughes, and that all those
deeds are wholly void and must be delivered up to be con-
celled ; and also a declaration that the plaintiff is entitled
to the full benefit of his mortgage security of the 13th of
December, 1852, and to the possession of the leasehold pro-
perty comprised therein asagauest all the defendant.. The
costs of the defendant Chappell and Catherine his wife,
formerly Catherine Jones, must be taxed and paid by the
plaintiffs. The other parties, plaintiffs and defendants,
most pay their own costs.

TALBOT V. 01108 LIT.

This was a motion to restrain the el;ftndanta, who are of
the firm of Messrs. John Crosley and Sons, from proceeding
to issue execution in an action at law which has been ob-
tained under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff in
equity is a carpet manufacturer, and the defendanta are
machine makers. About the year 1854 the plaintiff, wish-
ing to introduce power looms into his manufactory, applied
to the defendant" for information as to the terms upon
which they would supply him therewith. Negotiations
arose, the result of which was that the plaintiff executed •
deed of license by which, after recitals stating that the de-
fendants were the patentee' of several inventions having
relation to power looms, the patents for which were set forth
in the schedule in that deed, the plaintiff bound himself to
pay a royalty for the use of Messrs. Crosley's inventions.
islotwithstanding the execution of this document the
plaintiff did not become thepunlaser of any machines from
llesars. Croeley, but be carried out his intention to erect
looms, which he purchased from Messrs. Sharp,
power
and Co. Some tame afterwards Messrs. Croaky and
Co. instituted proceedings at law against the risintiff upon
the ground that Messrs. Sharp and Co.'s machines which be
was using were an infringement upon some of their patents,
and that consequently under the terms of the license which
the plaintiff had signed he was bound to pay royalty in re-
spect of such infringement. It was upon this action that
the sum now in question was recovered. The plaintiff's
case was that in signing the license he considered
that he was only entering into negotiation with
Mews. Crosley and Co., and would not be bound
to anything unless he bought their machines, and
that it was • surprise upon him to find himself bound to
pay • royalty when he had bought looms from& third party.
He further set forth in his hill that at law he was estoppel
from setting up this defence by reason 9f the recitals in the
license.

Mr. Solt, Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr. Speed, and Mr. Crack-
nail appeared for the parties.
The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that no sufficient case
of surprise was made out by the plaintiff. lie appeared to
have bad ample opportunity to take such advice as lie might
think 6t, and he could not now complain if be had not
availed himself of this opportunity. The result would be
that the motion must be dismissed.
