heard me with much attention, acknowledged that he fe,

great exhaustion, and said that as there would be conside-
rable difficulty in selecting two or three towns to visit out
of the number on his list, he should give up the towns
altogether. He also added that as his only motive in
coming to England was to thank the Government and the
people for the assistance and sympathy they had given to
his country, and as that had been accomplished he had better
now return, and take another opportunity of visiting the
English provinces. I can safely say nothing else transpired
between myself and the General of the slightest importance.
3.1 r, SH.tE.N.-- While I am willing to accept the Chancel-
lor's explanation I am prepared to say that the General
himself was under the impression, and remained so up to
the time he left England, that the Government wished him
to be off. He expressed himself so to me and to all
his friends. I said to him, "I think the Government
will regret their conduct after you have left, if not before."
The reply of the General was " If the Government feel re-
gret, there is time between this and Friday to remove it."
There could be no doubt as to the impression entertained by
Garibaldi,for on my putting the question to him he said ho
did not consider the explanation made by Lord Palmerston
in the House of Commons released him, and that it had
now become a question between the English Government
and the English people: It was certainly possible that,
although Mr. Gladstone had not introduced the name of
the Government, Garibaldi had derived his impression from
the fact of his having been urged to terminate his visit by
one whom he knew to be an influential member of the Go-
vernment.

Mr. GLADSTONE—Of course I cannot be held responsible
for a man's impressions. If General Garibaldi was under
that impression I am extremely sorry for it.
Mr. BEALES thought it was impossible to doubt the state-
ment made by Mr. Gladstone, but had no doubt he would
admit it was highly desirable, both for the sake of the
Government and himself, that the matter should be fully
cleared up.

Mr. ODGERS thought it strange that the very parties who
had been instrumental in leading Garibaldi into one con-
tinued round of receptions and parties from morning until
night should, on the eve of his departing to go amongst the
people, become suddenly so soiicitous about his health. The
General had told him personally, after all this fuss had been
made about Dr. Fergusson's letter, that he had never been
in better health in his life. If his health had been affected
they could not charge that upon the working classes, as the
aristocracy bad pretty well kept him to themselves.
Mr. GLADSTONE—I must repeat, I acted entirely and in
good faith upon Dr. Fergusson's letter.
Mr. B. LANGLEY—The letter was not a diagnosis, but a
prognosis; it was one of prophecy only.
Mr. J. R. TAYLOR—OR every occasion Garibaldi struck
out from all the statements and addresses written for hint all
allusions to the bad state of his health. He thought this a
significant fact.
Mr, BEALES—At least we may arrive at the conclusion
that the sudden departure of the General was caused by
ether parties, and was not his own wish.
Mr. GLADSTONE—I do not admit that.
Mr. B. LANGLEY—There still remains the awkward fact
of Dr. Fergusson's letter. Why was it written, or at whose
orders? It must have been asked for by some one. It wee
in direct contradiction of the letter of Garibaldi's own phy-
sician.

Mr. GLADSTONE—This is a question that concerns Dr.
Fergusson.
Mr. B. LANGLEY said it appeared to him that Mr. Glad-
stone had unconsciously allowed himself to be made use of
by other parties for the purpose.
Mr. GLADSTONE—I cannot admit that. I think the
General acted wisely in going as he did, with the intention
of returning at a more convenient period.
Mr. SHAEN said there could be no doubt that at the time
Lord Shaftesbury and Mr. liinnaird were leaving Mr.
Seely's house on the Sunday, that gentleman said to them,
" The first thing is to get Fergusson's letter." This was
said in the hearing of Mr. Richardson, the secretary of the
City Committee. This looked as if there was a plot in
progress.
Mr. GLIDS TONE—AII I can say'is, I am perfectly igno•
rant of the circumstances under which Dr. Fergusson's
letter was written, I only acted upon it in good faith, and
it was in accordance with my own feelings on the matter.
Some further remarks having been made by Messrs.
Taylor, Hartwell, and Beales, as to the words, ". Obliged
to leave," used in Garibaldi's letter to the City Committee,
but in whose conclusion the Chancellor of the Exchequer
could not agi ee,
Mr. GLA DSTONE again assured the deputation he had
stated all he knew. He had nothing to conceal, and was
happy to have had the opportunity of making this expla-
nation
The deputation then retired, the interview having lasted
one hour and a quarter.

A letter from Toulon says :—" The effects of the
events in the South of Algeria have been felt as far
as the bane at this port, where they have so excited the
ardour of the Arab convicts that two evenings ago one of
them, doubtless taking the arid plains of Castigneau for a
part of the Sahara, endeavoured to effect his escape, but
very soon met with the bayonet of a sentry. On being
brought back, bound hand and foot, the Arab attempted to
excuse his conduct by saying that the religion of Mahornet
imposed on him the obligation of going to defend the tents
of his tribe. A slight bastinado was administered to him
to calm hia exaggerated patriotism,"

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

YORK SPRING MEETING-TUESDAY.

The heavy rain which fell on Sunday, although it augured
ill for the success of the meeting as regarded the assemblage
of visitors, was a great boon to those who were chiefly in-
terested in the racing Per se. The ground, which had
scarcely been affected by the rain of the previous week, now
shows signs of great improvement, and when the course was
examined on Monday evening it was pronounced by the
most critical judges to be excellent " going." The weather
this morning was everything that could be desired, con-
trasting strongly with the raw and wintry atmosphere of
the previous evening. There was a great influx of visitors,
and the attendance of fashionables and well-known habitues
of the turf very large for the York Spring Meeting. The
features of the day's racing were the clever victory of Bena-
near in the Zetland Stakes, and the unlooked-for triumph
of East Lancashire in the Great Northern handicap. The
early hour at which it was necessary to despatch our parcel
from the course precludes the possibility of our entering
into further details of the running beyond what will be
found below.

The Craven Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added, for 3-yr-
olds and upwards. Certain penalties and allowances. One
mile. 7 subs.

Betting-5 to 2on Little Stag.
The trio jumped away simultaneously at the first attempt,
but upon settling into places Bandarilla took a clear lead,
followed by Little Stag, Clarior being a couple of lengths
in rear of the Middleham horse, who waited on Bandarilla
until approaching the enclosure, where he at once, on being
called upon, assumed the lead and won easily by two
lengths; Clarior was a bad third.
The Zetland Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added, for 2-
yr•olds ; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies and geldings, Bst 61b;

After a few failures, occupying nearly half an hour, a
good start was made, Jig next the rails making play, fol-
lowed by Spring Gun and Benanoar to the road, where
Benanoar took up the running, followed closely by Spring
Gun, the Colsterdale filly, and Skyrocket on his right,
Venice and Jig was well up next the rails. At the distance
Benanoar and Spring Gun came away, but Mr John
Osborne's horse failing to get up was beaten half a length.
Venice, at the head of Saloon, Exceller, and Skyrocket, all
of whom finished'close up in the order named, was beaten
four lengths from Spring Gun. The others were beaten off.

Vanessa made play, followed by Airedale, Garotter, and
Cronstadt, who ran in close company to the bend, where
Vanessa and Garotter retired from the front, and the Little
Hannah filly thereupon joined Cronstadt and Airedale, and
the three ran an exciting race to the enclosure, where Aire-
dale was beaten, and the other two continuing the struggle,
a fine race home resulted in the victory of Mr. I'Anson's
filly by a neck; four lengths b Aween second and third;
Vanessa was fourth, and Rondoletia fifth.

Goldylocks made play, followed by Welcome and Major,
the three being several lengths in advance of everything,
Dr, itooke and Alice being fourth and fifth, and at the head
of next lot were Greville, Fontenoy, and Guerilla, after
whom came Win grave, Limosina, and East Lancashire, the
last two being Trust and Caller Ou. A!ter a mile and a

quarter had been traversed the front division took closer
order, Alice alone dropping into the rear. At
the commencement of Dringhouses Wood East Lan-
cashire rushed to the fore, and Goldylccks dis-
appearing altogether from the front, left Dr.
Rooke, Welcome, Guerilla, Greville, and Fontenoy in pur-
suit of Mr. Rich's horse, who took a commanding lead.
Half way round the turn Tottenham joined the front rank
and took second place, and at the bend the race was vir-
tually over and half a mile from home East Lancashire,
with an arched neck (caused by Morris's strong arm) won,
according to the Judge, by six lengths; but looked more
like 20. Three lengths separated the second and third, and
two lengths third and fourth. Guerilla and Welcome, side
by ado, were next, and behind them came Limosina and
Fontenoy. Caller Ou and Alice were the only others who
passed the post.

PARIS SPRING MEETING•

The great event on the card leeterday was the Emperor's
Prize, for 3-yr-olds, which
Only brought out Baronello and
Bois-Roussel, with two or three other horses who had not
before made their debuts. Arcturus, whose fame had pre-
ceded his appearance in public, and who was said to be able
to do great things, was installed as first favourite, while
Bois-Roussel and B.ronello, Who had both run twice within
the last fortnight, each winning, and both known to be
good, stood at a trifle more odds, dividing favour about
equally. The last-named showed the same ill-temper as on
Thursday, and, getting off badly, did not show in front
throughout the race; Arcturus only obtained a third place,
while Bois-Roussel, after waiting to the last quarter of a
mile, shook off his opponents with the greatest ease, and re-
peated his victory of the Produce Stakes, The only one of
the crack horses of the different stables that has not yet
been brought out is Beatrix, who has probably been re-
served for the French Oaks on Sunday next. Of the rest,
Meli-Melo, Arcturus, and Bstonos have proved bat little
better than impostors, while Baronello, who has shown that
he can run welt if he chooses, is such an unmanageable
brute that he cannot at any time be depended on. The only

and his stable companion went forward, and at the dip Bois-
