BANK ROBBERY AT GENOA.

The Opinione of Turin says that, notwithstand-
ing all their foresight and precautions, the thieves
had forgotton one of the handkerchiefs with which
they had gagged their victims. This handkerchief
being marked the initials " C. P.," the director of
the police department, aware of the circumstance
that the culprits spoke the Bolognese dialect, sent
to Bologna, to examine the registers of the police
office there, in order to find a name answering to
those initials. The name " Ceneri Pietro " was thus
found, and a description of his person was sent to
Genoa. A like description being given by the clerk
of the bank who had been gagged by him, the iden-
tity of the person in question with the thief became
ram ally established, and served as a clue for the
arrest of the whole gang.

Questor (director of the police) of Bologna, and M.
Fontana, one of the chief functionaries of the cen-
tral police department are now at Genoa. The con-
viction of these gentlemen being that the prisoners
are old hands, and belong to a widely spread asso-
ciation of thieves, itis their intention to consult the
archives of the police in order to subject all the
parallel cases of recent date to a revision, which Es
expected to lead to many a curious retrospective

to be a nobleman is now stated to be called

THE GRIMSBY ELECTION RioTS.—After a long
delay an effort is being made to bring the rioters at the late
Grimsby election to justice. Twenty-seven of the ring-
leaders have been apprehended, and were on Thursday
remanded by the borough rafigistrates until Tuesday next,

The result of the Chester Cup was an agreeable surprise
to the bookmakers, scarcely any of them having written
the winner's name. Had not the Vest colt been tampered
with on the first day, I have no doubt ho would have landed
`take colours of Mr. Merry successfully. The other events
decided had no effect en the Derby; but for the Derby of
1863 Mr. Merry has again the first favourite, es little as
20 to 1 being eap,ll!. taken about Eecape. York Spring
and Salisbury, too I,,,etitigs which have within the last
half-dozen years rie, to great importance, will this week
occupy the attention of the racing world, the northern
meeting being fixed for Tuesday and Wednesday, ell(' Sa-
lisbury for the two following days, au arrangement which
will permit those who care nothing about night travelling
to visit both. The weights for the Great Northern Handi-
cap were only sufficiently well apportioned to secure the
acceptance of thirty-seven of the sixty-six horses entered,
and of these a moiety wilt scarcely reach the starting post.
Those likely to be enumerated among the runners are—The
Wizard (or CapeFlyawsy), Fairwater, Rapparee, Ivarilict;
Finland° (or Surprise), I)cefoot, Zodiac, Joey Jones,
Prince of Denmark, Alan Rufus, Coloael Crockett,
Atronia, Beverley, Caractacus, Carisbrook, Scandal, and
the colt by Barbatus out of nutter. Whichever—Tim
Wizard or Cape Flyaway—is selected to represent White-
wall must finish in the front rank, as both ran well over
this course last year, and the former now carries only 51b
more than he won wirh this time twelvemonths, while Cape
Flyaway puts up only
21b more than he was able to run

Cape
stand relatively much the same was proved in the Spring
Meeting by the positions they held in the Rowley Milo
Plate, wherein Cape Flyaway ran a dead heat with Win-
grave, giving him 291 b. Fairwater, I expect, well improve
upon her Chester running. Itapparee and Ivanhoff are
both good horses when wanted ; and, if it could be made 411
right for the latter, I would not look further for the winner.
Silkstone and Caractacus are the only other horses worthy
of notice, and from the heaps of money the former carried
on the Rhodee she ought to finish in front. The latter, if
he has only recovered from the effects of his severe race
with Elcho and Asteroid at Epsom, can scarcely lose, as the
course will be far more suited for him than that at Chester.
With these remarks, it will be seen that I shall be prepared,
