SPORTING NOTES.

THE FRENCH GRAND DE PRIX.

It is currently reported that Chat-and-no-go is going to
run for the above valuable stake, and that the horse is
very likely to win. It is to be hoped, for the honour of
the English Turf, that the rumour is without foundation;
forif Chattanooga should defeat Gladiateur in France, what
will they say in England in regard to the way the horse
was performed on in both the Two Thousand and Derby ?
However, there is no accounting for the wonderful things
that take place nowadays on the turf, as Blink Bonny, be-
longing to Mr. I'Anson, run nowhere in the Two Thou-
sand, won the Derby and also the Oaks, beating Imperieuse
by nearly half a mile, but the latter beat the former easily
in the St. Leger. The same happened with Fille de l'Air,
who ran nowhere in the Two Thousand, but won the Oaks
easily.

A FRESH MAN.

The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Monday, the 12th June, a special settling
day in the Imperial Ottoman Five per Cent. Loan
1865, which is to be officially quoted as Scrip and
fully paid-up Scrip.

During the last few days there has not been much
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugars have in some instances declined
about 6d. per cwt., while superior qualities of coffee
have fully maintained previous rates. Tea has
been neglected, while few dealings of importance
have taken place in rice, fruit, or wines. Tallow
has remained inactive, with little variation to re-
port as regards value for either present or forward
delivery.

The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an influx of £15,000 in bar gold, and
the withdrawal of 150,000 sovereigns for shipment
to the Brazils by the Oneida, which takes out
£165,480.

HANDEL FESTIVAL.—The last but one of the
chorus rehearsals of the London division of the Handel
Festival Choir takes place at Exeter Hall this evening,
when the choruses of the Selection day will be rehearsed.
THE COUNT OF PARIS AND THE LATE PRESIDENT
LINCOLN.—The following is a translation of a letter
addressed by the Count de Paris to Mr. Sumner, relative to
the death of President Lincoln:—"You were at the death-
bed of the good man so cruelly snatched from the affec-
tion and confidence of a great nation in the fatal night of
the 14th April; you received the last sigh of him in whom
all the friends of America saw the worthy representative of
its free institutions. You will, then, understand why I ad-
dress myself to you to-day, and why, after having read
the sad details of this frightful tragedy, I want to speak to
you of my profound emotion, of my deep grief. I would
not pretend to mingle my voice with all the testimonies of
sincere sympathy which Europe is unanimous in offering
to your citizens if the personal relations which I had with
Mr. Lincoln, and which will henceforth be one of the most
precious recollections of my youth, did not add in my case
to the greatness of this public calamity. My brother and I
shall always recall with gratitude the manner in which he
received us, four years ago, in the Federal army, the oppor-
tunity which he then offered to us of serving a cause to
which we were attached by our family traditions, oursym-
pathies as Frenchmen, and our political convictions.
Those who knew Mr. Lincoln in those times of trial, in
which everything seemed to conspire against the safety of
the Republic, will not forget the simple and serious coun-
tenance of the honest man who, without personal ambi-
tion, ever sustained by the profound sentiment of his du-
ties, merited the enviable title of great citizen. And when
the terrible crisis, during which the destinies of America
were in his hands, shall belong to history, and the bloody
trace of it shall have been effaced by the rapid develop-
ment of a reinvigorated nation and a regenerated society,
men will remember the benefits which have survived him,
of slavery astroyed and liberal institutions preserved, and
do honour to Mr. Lincoln. In the contest against slavery
his name will remain illustrious by those of the indefati-
gable apostles who fought before him and who will finish
his work. But it will be said of him that he assured the
maintenance of the Union, and passed through civil war
without departing from tho respect due to liberty and
legality ; and that in the hour of danger ho was the first
magistrate of a people prompt to recognise in the full exer-
cise of the largest liberty the inexhaustible source of the
national energy and perseverance. Pardon me, Sir, this
letter, a little too long, perhaps, but inspired, as you know,
by sentiments which fill my heart, and believe me, I pray
you, affectionately yours, Loris PHILIPPE D'ORLEANS."

The new Belgian 41 per cent. loan of 60 millions

ments be made in four instalments—on the 15th June, Ist
November, 1865, Ist May and Ist November, 1866, a dis-
count of 4 per cent. will be allowed on payments in
anticipation.
THE MIDDLE TEMPLE.—A portrait of the Prince
of Wales is about to be placed in the new library of the
Middle Temple, in commemoration of the opening of that
building by his Royal Highness on 'Nov. 1, 1861. This
portrait will form an important addition to the fine collec-
tion of state pictures belonging to the Society of the Middle
Temple, and embracing the Sovereigns of England from
Charles I. to George I. inclusive.
