whatever they might have been in their day ; and Setel- •
lite'. triumph at Newmarket will negative one of Queen of
the Vale's Ascot triumphs (the race in which she got the
best of the start), while Thunderbolt completely upsets
the other by his defeat of Brown Duchess last
Boughton week, as his being beaten by Tro-
vatore a few weeks beforehand will show he was
ad Thunderbolt at Ascot. It in true that when Satellite
beat Brown Dudes, Sic., at Newmarket, he had a stone I
the beet of the weights, as did also Maggiore when Dundee I
hest her at York ; et Goodwood we had two 3-yr-olds,
and they not the beet of their year, one of which tWallace)
proved himself a 20lb better animal than Satellite, while
the other (Sweetsancie) was about 16Ib the superior of Meg.
gicre so that Dundee is of no stronger calibre than
eltrodsimoe, sad Wallace's is about 10Ib superior to
that of Brown Duchess, who was beaten by Satellite.
Now, nothing appeared subsequent to Doncaster at all equal
to Dundee, the best that Normaiket produced being Lady
Blanche, Preceptress, Sporting Life, sad Asteroid; and wears
bound to consider that, unless there is something very grand
in the background, the lot we saw in 1860 is inferior to that
of last year in quality, from the performances of Wsllace
I and Sweetaauce in the St. Leger. This rule will only apply
to the colta, for it is difficult to get a measured lady ad.

good a story only a fortaight after she beat Little Lady by .a
, a length at Liverpool, as at Warwick she cantered rn
four lengths a-bead, and gave her quite a 1011 b
beating. Thus, as regards the honours of the hest

Chides, whn bids fair to pursue as glorious a career as did
i the very best of the mares that the present century pro-
duced, d she bnigurn out a stayer. I may take it upon myself
to harlicap the best of the performers previous to analysing
the Derby, and it might then be discovered that there are

NAPLES, Dm 4.

News has arrived of the arrival of the King in
Palermo, on Saturday rimming, at 9.15 a.m. Be
was received with indescribable enthusiasm. The
people insisted on taking the horses out of the
carriage and drawing him in. It is calculated that
upwards of 400,000 persona had assembled in Pa-
lermo. His Majesty went first to the cathedral,
where he was received by the archbishop. On arriving
at the palace be received immediately the consti-
tuted authorities, and afterwards the deputations
from the various municipalities of the island.
' On Sunday morning the first meeting of the
Consults di Stato was held, in the rooms of the
Lieutenant-General. Baron Poerio was chosen
vice-president and Signor Mamari secretary. The
principal speakers were Signors Pica, Poerio, Im-
briani, Avellino, Leopardi, and Baldacchini. Farini
opened the meeting in a speech of which the follow-
ing is a condensation In this season of transi-
tion it was impossible to do more than to apply to
Southern Italy the laws regulating lioerty, and the
provincial and communal administrations which
are in force in Northern Italy. Everything must
ultimately depend on the parliament. One of the
principal duties of the Cousulta would be to examine
the disorders which by long corruption had been
introduced into the WilllilUlltration, and with re- . ,
gull to organic laws, those sleeting the communes
must be immediately attended to. Undoubtedly
the elective principle must be introduced into the
provincial and communal councils, but within
what limits must be fixed by the Consult& di
State. Laws regarding the public security, public
charities, and communal property must also be
considered ; and the Consults was requested espe-
cially to investigate the state of the Albergo dei
Poveri and the prisons. Be was most anxious to
receive with deference the counsels of those around
him whom he had called together to assist him in
accomplishing the difficult work of the material and
moral reorganisation of the country."
A general conversation ensued, in which the Lieu-
tenant touched on the amount of legislative authority
which would be given to the Consults, and alluded
to the necessity of opening up other channels of
industry than those which now existed, and of
drawing freely on the treasury for such purposes.
Altogether the impression produced was favour-
able.

An application has been made this week to the
Lieutenant-General by one of our countrymen for
the removal of many of those passport restrictions
which still exist here, but are abolished in Turin.
A courteous answer was returned, and a promise
of immediate attention.

This morning's Official Jammu! contains the law
of trial of offences against the press in eighty-two
articles.

The Nahum;lit& of Turin publishes the follow-
ing proclamation by Garibaldi :

Italy and Victor Emmanuel ! The Italians must not on
any account abandon this programme. Victor Emmanuel
is the only indispensable man in Italy, around whom all
the men of our peninsula must rally. Ido not care whether
the minister's name be I.ssvour or Cattaneo (the latter is
preferable) ; but what I care for, and what all Italians
must inexorably demand, is that on the sth of March, 1861,
Victor Emmanuel be at the head of 500,000 soldiers.
