it is a tragic episode of the theft committed by the three
vultures of the North to the detriment of the liberty and the
life of one of the mast considerable nations of Europe. It is
the violence of brutal force against the tranquillity of the
man who wishes to live peacefully by the labour of his
hands ; violence which will continue while people think
only of their stomachs and leave their unhappy neighbour
under the yoke of the crowned butcher.
Do not abandon Poland I Imitate at all events your
tyrants--they do not abandon her; the valiant Hungarians
afford a recent proof of this. Victorious over Hapsburg,
they were crushed by her northern accomplice.
And thou, guardian of the Alps, head of Europe, descend-
ant of the men of the Grutli, throw the republican rifle into
the balance of Europe, and thou wilt see what it weighs. It
is for free people now to establish order in the world, dis-
turbed by the moribund desires of despotism.
Do not abandon Poland I If we all assist her as we ought
to assist her, we shall have fulfilled a sacred duty, and the
world will be constituted in conformity with the welfare of
the human race, then blessed by God.

LINCOLN SPRING MEETING.—THURSDAY.
The change in the weather, which was windy and bleak,
did not, however, operate in preventing a numerous attend-
ance, as on the opening day. There were five races for de-
cision, two of which—the Lincolnshire Handicap and the
Hurdle Race—turned out surprises to the majority of
backers of horses. The success of Manrico in the Trial
Stakes on the previous day induced several to invest upon
him, but the stable were not sanguine. From the disposi-
tion to « field"—on the part of the bookmakers—for the
Hurdle Race, there was evidently something strong in the
back ground, and the result proved the truth of their sur-
mises, for Satellite, the Liverpool Steeplechase favourite,
was beaten before going half the distance. After the race
1,000 to 30 was offered against Satellite for the Grand Na-
tional. The following are details of the day's running :

doing about 200 yards, left the lead with Manrico, close to
whom followed Rapture and The Norman, Revolver (on
the outside) and Hubert (on the rails) being the other pro-
minent animals before approaching the first turn. At the
bend for home Lopcatcher, Peignoir, and Flash in the Pan
joined the leaders in the middle of the ruck; the favourite,
immediately after holding out signals of distress, was al-
most the first horse beaten at the distance. Half way up
little Adams sent Manrico further in advance, and at the
instant he was challenged on either side by Peignoir and
Flash in the Pan, whom he shook off, and won by a length
and a half; four lengths between second and third; Rap-
ture a bad fourth; Lopcatcher was fifth, and Revolver and
Weatherside, side by side, next.

the pair being closely followed by Antar and Prologue.

the pace, and went in front of Lincoln, and running under
the Windmill Brow Satellite received some punishment
from his owner, and at the brick kilns fell hopelessly in
