Flash-in-the-Pan and the Chester Cup,

The following letter has been addressed to the
Editor of the Sporting Gazette :
Sir,—l think the result of the race for the Chester Cup
proves the necessity for some addition to the rules which
are supposed to regulate handicapping.

I venture to believe that no man will assert putting a
three year old weight upon an eight year old horse com-
plies with the spirit, meaning, or object of a handicap.
I do not wish to find fault with any person, but I do
think that a method which weights horses only according
to their performances, and without reference to their age,
in these days, requires revision.

We liznit the lowest weight for a young horse, why not
then limit the lightest weight for an old one ?
So many men now keep racehorses who never kept a
donkey before, a.ud who keep them for speculation, not for
sport, that this queotion of weights wants looking into and
regulating; for when weather as well as weight favours
the old horse, we have what we had oa Wednesday, at
Chester.

I think, as the lowest weight for the young horses is
limited to Sat 71b, the lightest weight for horses of five years
and upwards should be 7st I.olb, for every race of a mile
and further.

No one could complain of such a rule% and all true sport
men would rejoice.—I am, So., IL

T 0 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The natural desire to present General Garibaldi
with a substantial testimony ,of England's appreciation of
his character and of his cause suggested the formation of a
committee for that purpose before the general had touched
our shores.

If anything could add to that desire, it would be the un-
fortunate suddenness of his departure.

It always appeared to the committee that the best, and
indeed the only satisfactory, mode of dealing with the fund
would be to place it absolutely and unreservedly at the
general's disposal, entirely unfettered by conditions and re-
strictions, which they deemed unworthy alike of the Eng-
lish people and of the hero whom they desired to honour.
The committee have therefore seen with great regret a
separate fund set on toot, with the " purpose of securing a
permanent income for General Garibaldi and his family
after him," both because they consider the scheme inap-
propriate and even derogatory, and because, as every one
knows, the existence of two funds and two committees in-
sures that both together shall not realise so much as either
by itself, The excuse of doubt given to waverers is too
tempting.
Besides this, it is well understood by his friends that
Garibaldi will not accept the gilt bestowed for the pecuniary
well-being of himself and his children. It is within our
knowledge that no official indications of this scheme has
been made to the general, perhaps because it was known
that he would refuse it.
Our fund he does recognise, and has already sent in-
structions for the remittance of a portion of it ; but he does
not, and we venture to say will not, recognise any other—
at least, any other given with restrictions and conditions.
We think it right therefore publicly to suggest to the
committee formed for this purpose to throw overboard all
limitations, and let the English people raise a testimonial
worthy to be presented by a free nation to a free man. If
not, upon them must rest the responsibility of the failure of
the subscription,
JOHN RICHARDSON, }Treasurers.
I'. A. TAYLOR.
P.S.—Although not distinctly authorisea to publish the
following from Signor Guerzord, it seems to us so impor-
tant that we decide to do so on our own responsibility.
Committee-room, London Tavern, May 5.
[Emtract.]
"In answer to your request, I think I can state that,
although General Garibaldi did not express his mind, be-
cause no official communication has been made to him on
the subject, it is his intention to not accept the estate for
which a subscription has been raised.
(Signed) G. Gunnzorir,
Secretary to General Garibaldi.

Does Republican Switzerland no longer exist ? Could
not the man who has Enpported and defended in his own
country the institutions which we have the happiness to
possess at home enjoy the same favour as has been granted
to his enemies ? Should the Confederation, regenerated
since 1818, refuse to proscribed Republicans the asylum
which the Confederation of 1838 granted to proscribed Re-
actionists.

You have thought it advisable, gentlemen, to base
your opinions upon the recent condemnation by contumacy
of which the citizen Mazzini has been the victim in France.

You believe no more than we do, gentlemen, no more
than does the French Government, in the culpability of
that illustrious patriot of the so-called-attempt to which the
Emperor of the French did not succumb.

You know, as we know, that this affair was arranged by
he French police, by whom Greco was paid.
The rigour you exercise against tho greatest citizen of

Italy is therefore inopportune, and may give rise to the be-
lief (which is far from being our opinion) that the Federal
Council follows or anticipates the wishes of the Court of the

Tuileries.

This is not our opinion, zentlemen. We know that the
interest of Switzerland is the only inea by which you are
animated, and it is in the name of this interest we protest
against this decision, leaving to the authority which has
taken it all responsibility for the future of our beloved
country.

The citizen you proscribe may, in fact, in consequence of
political events which we cannot foresee, return to Swit.
zerland as the plenipotentiary of a friendly and allied State,
He may, as has already once happened, become the chief of
the Administration of a Republican country.

The same thing occurred to Louis Napoleon Bonaparte,
now Emperor of the French.

We ask you, therefore, gentlemen, for the eake of placing
yourselves in accord with the immense majority of the
Swiss people, to recall the unseasonable decree you have
pronounced against Joseph Mazzini„

This protest being intended for publication, we beg o
you, gentlemen, to notify to us its reception with the leas)
possible delay.—Receive,

THE COMMITTEE.

WESTMINSTER,

•
STRANGE APPROPRIATION OF STOLEN PROPERTY,—
Amelia Johnson was placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe,
charged with stealing a dress and a great number of
children's frocks, &c., valued at upwards of £5, the pro-
perty of Mr. Batchelor, solicitor's clerk, 67, Charlwood-
street, Pimlico.

Elizabeth Batchelor, wife of the prosecutor, said that the
prisoner, who is 17 years of ago, entered her service about
two months since and stayed there till the previous evening,
when, on account of some property being missed, she was
given into custody. Witness went to Margate a month ago,
and when she returned on Friday she found that her morn-
ing dress and various other articles were missing. Prisoner,
when accused of the robbery, denied it, but afterwards ad-
mitted she had stolen the things, and from a communication
made by her, witness went with Servant Huddy, 2 B, to
Lambeth, where the prisoner's mother resides, and on en-
tering the room found some of the stolen articles, consisting
of 12 pinafores and some frocks, in the process of washing.
There were two children in a bed in the room, and on one
of them was found a night-shirt belonging to the prosecu-
trix, and on the other a similar article. The mother ad-
mitted pledging some of the articles, and some duplicates
were given up.

Prisoner declined saying anything.
Prisoner's mother said she had brought the things home,
and said her mistress had given them to her. They were
all old, and she thought there was no harm in keeping them
and pledging some of them.

Mr. Salle remanded the prisoner till Friday for the pawn.
brokers to attend.

EARTHQUAKE IN CANADA.—The Quebec Gaeztte
of the 20th ult. says :—" This afternoon, between
1 and 2 o'clock, a smart shock of earthquake was felt
throughout this city, lasting for several seconds. The
houses wero so violently shaken that all who were in them
made their way to the streets as quick as possible. We are
happy to state that no damage was done, as far as we have
heard, except the falling of a few bricks from chimneys.
The atmosphere at the time was clear, with a strong breeze
from the north-east. The present shock exceeded in power
that which we experienced in October, 1860." Telegrams
state that the earthquake was not felt at Montreal ; two
shocks were felt at Danville, at Father Point, and at L'lslet,
and at this last place, which is 48 miles from Quebec on the
south side of the St. Lawrence, "several of the cars were
nearly capsized."

THE DUTIES OF NEUTRALS.—Mr. Thomas Baring
will on the motion for an adjournment on Friday
next, call the attention of the house to the fact "that an
armed steamer is now in the port of Liverpool, which, hav-
ing been originally manned and equipped from British
ports, has preyed upon the commerce of a friendly nation,
and has never been in any port of the belligerent under
whose flag she sails ;" and will ask the First Lord of the
Treasury " whether he thinks the admission of such ves-
sels to British harbours consistent with our international
obligations, our professions of neutrality, and the preserva-
tion of British interests,"

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

CHESIER RACES-FRIDAY.

The weather was even worse on the last than upon any
of the preceding days. Heavy rain began to fall early in
the forenoon and continued without intermission during the
afternoon. The card was a barren one, and the fields were
miserably small. The only event to which ordinary atten-
tion was attached was the Stewards' Cup, for which five
started, and Little Stag, after pulling his jockey almost out
of the saddle, won easily, landing the odds laid upon him.
The other races were productive of small sport, but the
suspicious riding of E. Taylor in the Selling Race called
forth strong remarks of disapprobation; and although the
boy was not taken before the Stewards the matter was post-
poned for future investigation. Subjoined are details of the
day's running :
A Handicap Plate of 3 soya each, with 25 added ; the win-
ner to be sold for 80 soya, and the surplus to go to the
fund. Three-quarters of a mile. 6 subs.
Mr Barber's Jack's Alive, 4 yrs, Bst (Fordham) 1
Mr T. Smith's Mystery, 3 yrs, 6st 31b (J Grimshaw) 2
Mr Goodlass's Pretty Girl f, 3 yrs, 7st 61b ....(Loates) 3
Mr Barber's The Cutler, 5 yrs, Bst 10lb .. (J. Snowden)
Mr Barber declared to win with Jack's Alive.
Betting-6 to 4 agst Mystery, 2to 1 agst Jack's Alive.
Mystery made play for nearly two hundred yards, after
which Jack's Alive went to the front, was never afterwards
headed, and won by three lengths. Two lengths separated
the second and third, and two lengths divided the third and
fourth. The winner was not sold.
The Hooton Stakes of sso vs each, h ft, with 60 added ;

winners extra. Half a mile. 17 subs.

Mr Saxon's Bonny Lass, 7st 131 b (Midgley) 1.
Mr C. Winteringham'a Nothing More, 9st llb (inc. 51b
ex.) (J. Snowden) 2
Mr Jackson's Rondoletia, 7st 130
The betting opened at 3 to 1 on Nothing More, but closed
at 6 to 4 on Nothing More, and 7 to 4 agst Bonny Lass.
The latter made all the running, and won in a canter by
two lengths; a bad third.

ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market to-day has /resented a much
quieter appearance, the inquiry having subsided,
but the rates continue very firm.
A further sum of 1;63,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
There was a general rise in the foreign exchanges
yesterday afternoon, owing to the increased value
of money here.
Ttie Banks of France and Turin have advanced
their rates of interest to 7 and 8 per cent respec-
tively.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to 1;520,700, and the exports to £345,000.
Lord Hobart and Mr S. Stewart have joined the
directors of the Imperial Ottoman Bank.

The share list of the Land Credit Company of
Ireland is to be closed on Monday next for London,
and on the Wednesday following for the country.
The subscription list of the E tst Wheal Vor Tin
and Copper Mining Company will close on Wednes-
day next for London, and on Thursday for the
provinces.

The Scottish Universal Finance Bank shares
closed to-day at 2 prem. Such is the confidence
reposed in this undertaking that nearly the whole
of the required capital has been applied for, The
directors have concluded their negotiations for the
purchase of Messrs. Nathan and Co.'s business, of
Cornhill, on most advantageous terms, at the same
time securing their adhesion to the bank. Arrange-
ments have also been made for the transfer to this
company of the business of N. Monteaux and Co.,
of Parie. Under such a favourable commencement,
and with so comprehensive a programme, as may
be found in another column, there is a sufficient
reason for the commercial confidence which exists
in reference to this company.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 40c.
Heavy.

There has been very little business to-day in the
market for the English Funds; but owing to a dis-
continuance of sales prices have slightly tended
upwards. Consols were 901 L;- for money, and 893,
less the dividend, for the account. Speculators
appear less inclined to enter largely into
transactions either for a rise or fall, and
the market consequently presents a dull
appearance. The New Threes are quoted 881 ;
the Reduced Annuities, 88k I ; the March Ex-
chequer Bills, 15s, to Bs. dis., and the June ditto,
Bs. to 4s. dis.; and India 5 per Cents., 1041.
In the Foreign Market a general rise has taken
place, but business is not active. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 70 1; ditto Consolides, have ad-
vanced to 49a 3 ; Mex)nin to 423 431 ; do., New,
to par, prem. ; Greek to 211 k; Spanish Passive
to 331 a ; and the Confederate Loan to 63 64.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
very inactive, and there is no change of importance
to record in prices.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in most
instances at slightly reduced rates, consequent upon
speculative sales.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, May 6.
The extraordinary Lardner case was decided by
the Master of the Rolls yesterday. Your readers
may remember that an application had been made
on behalf of the Reversionary Interest Society of
London that a sum of £3,070 in court be paid out
to them. It was stated in the affidavit on which
counsel moved that George Darley Lardner, son
of the late Rev. Dionysius Lardner and Cecilia
Lardner, otherwise Flood, his wife, had in 1850
assigned his interest in the reversion of the £3,070
to the petitioners for a sum of £550. This motion
was thereupon resisted by the next of kin of Celia
Flood, the wife the Rev. Dr. Lardner. The case
was that the person calling himself George Parley
Lardner was ao illegitimate kon of the Rev. Dr.
Lardner, and that the legitimate " George Parley
Lardner," who was horn I,nd baptised in 1818, died
when young, in Italy, of consumption. It was
further alleged that the Rev. Dr. Lardner there
substituted the present G. D. Lardner, and repre-
sented him as the legitimate son, and that he did
this for the purpose of preventing the money now
in question going out of the family. The evidence
of Miss Lardner, his aunt, completely disproved
this case. She identifi€d several letters written by
111 r, George Larduer to her during several years.
She stated that, having read an advertisement in
the Times in February, 1842, asking information
as to the death of George Lardner, son of the Rev.
Dr. Lardner, she went to the solicitor named in
the advertisement, Mr. H. Mayne, of Dorset-street,
Dublin, and told him George Lardner was not dead,
but was at the Cape of Good Hope, Mr. Mayne
assured her he would have the rumour contra-
dicted, but refused to state who authorised him to
publish the advertisement. She swore that George
Lardner was always recognised and treated by all
the members of the family as the legitimate son of
the Rev. Dr. Lardner. Counsel also opened an
affidavit made by Mr George Lardner himself at
Barbadoes, on the 24th of March, corroborating
his aunt's statements.
Serjeant Sullivan said his clients were satisfied
of Mr George Lardner's legitimacy, and withdrew
from all further opposition.

Garibaldian Party in the Italian Parliament

A correspondent of the Szecle, writing to that
journal from Turin on the 2d inst., says :—" For
the last few days Garibaldi has no longer been
spoken of by his friends as the emissary of the Ita-
lian National Revolution, ready to embark in any
enterprise at the head of his volunteers, but as the
leader of a great constitutional party which accepts
the struggle on the standpoint of the constitution
and the existing laws. In a word, Garibaldi and
his friends aspire to power; they openly declare
they wish to be ministers, not for the purpose of
falling asleep amid the sweets of power, but in order
to remain there long enough to have at their dis-
posal the Italian army, and to direct it against
Austria. Bear in mind that we are on the eve of
the general elections, and that the attitude of Gari-
baldi and his friends is thus clearly defined only
to influence thcae elections. In a word, Garibaldi
becomes the leader of a parliamentary Left, hitherto
divided and without a head. The new Garibaldian
party has a year to do its work in. It hopes that
that year will suffice to gain for it a Eufficient Tea-
jority in the country. The other parties are much
distnrbed by this fresh declaration of policy. The
Garibaldian party, sincerely anxious to keep within
the limits of the constitution, and giving guarantees
of patience to the democracy, may exert immense
influence, for half of Italy is already with it. The
ministry is at a loss how to act towards it. Ought
it to treat this new party gently or boldly attack
it? There is one minister among the members of
the cabinet, a diplomatist and statesman, who is very
nearly converted to Garibaldi. Under any circum-
stances, witethee Garibaldim be opposed or accepted
by the majority, it will form a considerable and
influential parliamentary body."

WESTMINSTER.

STRANGE APPROPRIATION OF STOLEN PROPERTY,—
Amelia Johnson was placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe,
charged with stealing a dress and a groat number of
children's frocks, Br,c., valued at upwards of £5, the pro-
perty of Mr. Batchelor, solicitor's clerk, 67, Charlwood-
street, Pimlico.

Elizabeth Batchelor, wife of the prosecutor, said that the
prisoner, who is 17 years of age, entered her service about
two months since and stayed there till the previous evening,
when, on account of some property being missed, she was
given into custody. Witness went to Margate a month ago,
and when she returned on Friday she found that her morn-
ing dress and various other articles were missing. Prisoner,
when accused of the robbery, denied it, but afterwards ad-
mitted she had stolen the things, and from a communication
made by her, witness went with Sergeant Huddy, 2 B, to
Lambeth, where the prisoner's mother resides, and on en-
tering the room found some of the stolen articles, consisting
of 12 pinafores and some frocks, in the process of washing.
There were two children in a bed in the room, and on one
of them was found a night-shirt belongifig to the prosecu-
trix, and on the other a similar article. The mother ad-
mitted pledging some of the articles, and some duplicates
were given up.

Prisoner declined saying anything.
Prisoner's mother said she had brought the things home,
and said her mistress had given them to her. They were
all old, and she thought there was no harm in keeping them
and pledging some of them.

Mr. Selte remanded the prisoner till Friday for the pawn,
brokers to attend.

EARTHQUAKE IN CANADA.—The Quebec Gaeztte
of the 20th ult. says :—" This afternoon, between
I and 2 o'clock, a smart shock of earthquake was felt
throughout this city, lasting for several seconds. The
houses were so violently shaken that all who were in them
made their way to the streets as quick as possible. We are
happy to state that no damage was done, as far as we have
heard, exupt the fulling of a few bricks from chimneys.
The atmosphere at the time was clear, with a strong breezo
from the north-east. The present shock exceeded in power
that which we experienced in October, 1860." Telegrams
state that the earthquake was not felt at Montreal ; two
shocks were felt at Danville, at Father Point, and at L' Islet,
and at this last place, which is 48 miles from Quebec on the
south side of the St. Lawrence, "several of the cars were
nearly capsized."

• TIM DUTIES OF NEUTRALS.—Mr. Thomas Baring
will on the motion for an adjournment on Friday
next, call the attention of the house to the fact " that an
armed steamer is now in the port of Liverpool, which, hav-
ing been originally manned and equipped from British
ports, has preyed upon the commerce of a friendly nation,
and has never been is any port of the belligerent under
whose flag she sails ;" and will ask the First Lord of the
Treasury "whether he thinks the admission of such ves-
sels to British harbours consistent with our international
obligations, our professions of neutrality, and the preserva-
tion of British iatereetß,"

THE PRUSSIAN WAR CONTRIBUTION.

The following is the proclaniution issued by Field
Marshal Wrangel, the Prussian-Commander-in-
Chief, imposing a forced contribution upon the
inhabitants of Jutland :

Head-quarters, Veils, April 28.

In compensation of the damage to property caused to
Prussian as well as to other German subjects by ships and
cargoes being captured and condemned by the Danes, a
present contribution is hereby imposed upon Jutland of
650,000 Prussian dollars (£96,000). This sum corresponds
to the amount of injury inflicted, and is li.ble to be increased
upon more exact calculation of the damage; possible sur-
plus, upon the other hand, arising atter payment of the com-
pensation will be refunded.
Upon partition of the above-named amount, 50,000 Prus-
sian dollars fall to the share of Veile. This sum is to be
' paid without delay to the head of the Requisition Depart-
ment, Major von Beckedorff, of the Westphalian Jager
Battalion, if it is desired to avoid tile inevitable military
compulsory measures.

VON WRANGEL, Field3lanhal

The intelligence which has been received here
from Jutland shows that the population generally
has refused to ply the rcquired contribution, and
that the Prussian troops have already commenced
to employ force in obtaining their demands. The
Dagbladet published the following telegram from
the Town Commandant at Bogensee yesterday :
The Prussians have carried away 11 citizens from Hor-
sens. The pas:Tort accompanying them was inscribed "To
Rendsburg, and further." The 100,000 dollars demanded
by Von Wrangel in Horsens has been refused. The citizens
will rather submit to be plundered. The inhabitants of
Veile have also refused payment.
