SPOIt7ING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.
Snow lay upon the summits of the Lancashire hills, and
a thick fog obscured the horizon until midday, when the
sun came out brilliantly and heralded a beautiful afternoon
for the mixed racing at Aintree. There the attendance was
upon an average with that of former November meetings,
and the number of horses running showed that a season of
nearly ten months' duration had not used them all up; but
betting was by no means so lively as in the earlier portion
of the year. The framer of the handicaps had reason to
be satisfied, for he found eight, nine, twelve, and five at the
post for their respective engagements, and in one instance
only did the favourite prove the winner. A delay occurred
at the post for the Flying Stakes, and proved fortunate for
Fazio, who galloped down the course to meet the other
horses at the post after several attempts had been made to
start them. Fravola in this race again evinced the
" form" she had displayed at Newmarket, by giving lumps
of weight to every animal that ran. Some betting on the
Cup took place during a walk over, the prices being as
quoted below. Punctuality was remarkably well attended
to during the day, the horses for the Aintree Plate, which
was the last race of the day, being ready to start within
one minute of the advertised time.

A Handicap Hurdle Race of 40 sovs, added to a sweep-
stakes of 3 sovs each. Winners extra. Second to save

his stake. Two miles, over six flights of hurdles. 17

subs.
Mr. Lincoln's Nosegay, 6 yrs, lOst 71b........ (Palmer) 1
Mr. T, Hunt's Jacob, 5 yrs, 9st 121 b .......... (Knott) 2
Mr. Pratt's Romeo, aged, lOst (C. Bennett) 3

The following also ran :—Pot Pourri, Corona, Kington,
Harry, and Daisy King. _ . _

Betting-6 to 4 agst Ne4gay, 6to I each agst Pot Pourri
and Jacob.
Immediately the flag was lowered Corona jumped round,
and was left at the post. The favourite, on the far side,
wits the first off, and came on with a slight advantage with
Pot Pourri in the centre, and Romeo on the whip hand, in
which order they jumped the first flight of hurdles, which
were knocked down close together. On passing the Stand
Nosegay still held his lead, followed by Romeo, Harry, Pot
Pourri, Daisy King, and Jacob, which position they re-
tained to the mile post, and shortly afterwards Daisy King
took his place at the girths of Romeo. Rounding the canal
bridge turn, Put Pourri joined the front, and in a few
strides after got to the neck of he leader, the pair coming
on in company, Romeo, Jacob, and Harry lying close in
their wake, to the flight of hurdles below the distance,
which the favourite cleared in advance of Mr. Wadlow's
gelding, who was immediately after headed by Romeo and
Jacob, to which three the race was left, Nosegay winning
very cleverly by two lengths. Romeo, who was beaten
half way in the distance, finished a bad third. The others
did not pass the post.
The Knowsley Nursery Handicap Stakes of 5 soya each, 2
ft, with 70 soya added, for 2-yr-olds. Second to receive
10 soya. Winners 91b extra. T.Y.C. 29 subs.
_ _

---
Col. Towneley's Newchurch, Est 121 b...... (Hardcastle) 1
Mr. Bruce's Gipsy Girl, 7st 121 b (Grimshaw) 2
Mr. T. Smith's The Cobbler, 7st 21b ...... (Barlow) 3
Mr. Hargreaves's Cheerful, Est 121 b ........ (W. Buck) 4
The following also ran :—Airedale, Birdfinder, Trentham,
Lord Fauconberg g, and Lorette.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Airedale, 4to 1 agst Cheerful, sto
1 each agst Gipsy Girl and Newchurch, and 100 to 8 agst
any other.

The flag was lowered to an admirable start at the first
attempt, Gipsy lying next the rails, getting away with a
shade the best of it, having Airedale, Newchurch, The
Cobbler, and Cheerful nearly abreast next, with the others
close up. These positions were retained to the entrance
of the enclosure, where Newchurch headed Gipsy Girl, and
for a few strides it appeared a race, but Col. Townley's colt
drew away at the centre of the Stand, and won very easily
by a length, half that distance separating the second and
third. Cheerful was a bad fourth, Airedale was fifth, and
Trentham and Birdfinder, close together, were next, Lorette
last.

The All-Aged Selling Stakes of 3 sovs each, with 25 sovs
added; winners extra, with maiden and selling allow-
ance, T.Y.C. 10 subs.

Mr. Fraser's Vigil, 3 yrs, Bst, £2O (Perry) 1

Mr. T. Hughes's Juliet, 6 yrs, Bst 81b, £2O (D. Hughes) 4
The following also ran :—Hare, Cargo, Sharper, Confec-
tioner, and Ferdinand.
- -

Betting—Even on Juliet, 6 to 1 agst Confectioner, 7 to 1
each agst Vigil and Ferdinand, and 8 to 1 agst Confession.
After one failure, in which Cargo, in company with Fer-
dinand and Hugh Lupus, ran to the distance, the lot got
away upon equitable terms. Vigil, with Confession next
the rails and Confectioner on the whip hand, lay in front to
the distance, when the latter broke down badly in his fet-
lock joint, which left the race to the two, who were shortly
after joined by Hugh Lupus, the three running in company
to the enclosure, where Vigil drew away and won easily by
three lengths; two lengths between the second and third, a
like distance separating the third and fourth. Ferdinand
was fifth, close up. The winner was bought in for 65
guineas. _ _

The Juvenile Stakes of 5 Boys each, with 30 sovs added, for
2-yr-olds; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies and geldings, Bst 71b;
maidens allowed 71b; winners extra. T.Y.C. 6 subs.
Mr. Hawkesley's Rowena, Bst 121 b, inc Sib extra
(H. Taylor) w.o.
The Flying Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 100 sovs added ;
winners extra. Five furlongs. 53 subs.
Mr. Naylor's Fravola, 5 yrs, 9st 21b (Challoncr)

(H. Grimehaw) 4
The following also ran :—Tattoo, Redpole, Juliet, David
Ann, Sheffield, Airedale, Giltnook, and Fazio.
Betting-7 to 2 agst Peignoir, 9to 2 agst Tattoo, 6to 1
agst Fravola, 8 to 1 each agst David Ann and Newchurch,
100 to 8 each agst Redpole and Bernice, and 100 to 7 agst
Fazio.

Upwards of 20 minutes was lost at the post before Mr.
Marshall could get them in order. When the flag was
lowered the lot left the post in compact order, Fravola
having a slight lead, but after running 50 yards Peignoir
came up on the outside, and took a decided lead, followed
on the lower side by Fravola, Redpole, Juliet, and David
Ann ; the others, who were headed by Tattoo, Bernice,
and Newchurch, lying in a cluster close in their track to
the half-distance, where Peignoir suddenly collapsed, and
was headed by Fravola, who came on with the command,
followed by Bernice, who had been previously disappointed
in getting through, and Neweburch, who finished a close
race home, Fravola running the longest, and winning in
the last stride by a head, three lengths separating the
second and third, and a neck between the third and
fourth, Juliet fifth. Tattoo sixth, Redpole seventh, and
David Ann and Airdale side by side next. Giltnook was
last.
A Sweepstakes of 10 sous each, for all ages; weight for age.
The winner to be sold, if not to carry 81b extra. About
6 furlongs. 5 subs.
Captain Christie's Lady Clifden, 4 yrs, 9st.. (W. White) 1
Mr. Taylor's Bevis, 6 yrs, Bst 81b (J. Adams) 2
No betting.

Immediately the flag was lowered Lady Clifden jumped
away, and chopped her opponent down in the first hun-
dred yards, and trotted in alone. Bevis did not pass
the post.

The Aintree Plate (Handie,ap) of 50_sovs_ for all ages.

Winners extra. 1 mile. 25 subs.

Mr. Elliott's Gardener, 4 yrs, 6st. (Hunter) 1

Betting-2 to 1 each agst Gardener and Otho, and 4to
1 agst Corc,net.
After the first 200 yards had been traversed Gardener
went to the front, made the rest of the running, and won
easily by two lengths. Donno Canne a bad third ; the
others finished as ptsced by the judges. Coronet, who did
I not pass the post, was last.

GOSSIPS, AND HOW THEY ARE MADE.—I QM
inclined to think that gossips, male and female, do not
begin by being malicious. This is the way it happens:
Their minds being uninformed and uncultivated, and their
own lives meagre and barren of interest, they naturally fall
to watching those about them, to see if they cannot extract
"
a little pleasureable excitement from the contemplation of
their neighbours. The task grows by what it feeds on ;"
and lacking the elements of the marvellous, at any time,
what easier than for them to supply it, and make the story
a round one, at any sacrifice ? In proportion as the mind
is cultivated, things, not persons, engage its attention. Had
women as many resources as men, female gossips would be
scarce in proportion. Mothers, not only for this, but other
obvious reasons, should early cultivate a taste for reading
in their daughters. A young girl has then a resource
against the corroding rust of unemployed hours, not only
in youth but in her old age, if unsurrounded by domestic
ties.—Zoost, ,Firth

LI7ERAIURE.

The Duties of Man. By Joseph Mazzini. Chap-

man and Hall:
Believing Mazzini to be a much niisunderstood
man, the translator of this work, an enthusiastic
admirer of his, appeals to Englishmen's love of fair
play, and requests that they will judge him otit of
his own mouth, to which theie can be no possible ob-
jection. The work consists of a series of letters or
essays addressed to working men, the first four of
which were published more than twenty years ago,
and the remainder appeared in the columns of two
liberal Italian newspapers in 1858. In them the
writer ignores all classes, save that of working men,
to whom he gives the world as a promised land,'
and instructs them as to how they should conquer
and enjoy it. That they should possess it, he con-
siders not a right but a duty, and he therefore in-
forms them that it is not their right, but their duty
to clear away all opposing obstacles. The working
man is to be the interpreter of the Law of God, and
woe unto those who attempt to thwart his views.
Perhaps our readers may think we are misrepre-
senting Mazzini. Out of his own mcuth shall they
judge him. Speaking of the text, "Render unto
Caesar the thinks that are Caesar's, and unto God
the things that are God's," he says—
" Nothing is of Caesar unless it be such in conformity
with the Law of God. Ceesar—that is to say, the temporal
power, or civil government—is but the administrator and
executive, as far as lies in its power, of the design of the
Almighty. Whensoever it is false to its mission and trust,
it is, I do not say your right, but y our duty to change it.
"For what purpose are you placed here, if it be not to
work out the providential design in your own sphere, and
according to your means P"
Or, in other words, whenever working
men are dissatisfied with the constituted
authorities of their country, it is their
duty to overturn them and substitute such as may
seem good in their sight. Can our readers wonder
after this that Mazzini is reported a Revolutionist ?
Is not his hand against every Government? Is it
surprising that with those principles he should be a
wanderer and an exile? :True, the work contains
some excellent advice ; but " oaths are straws," and
not working men alone, but those far above them in
worldly position, have an unfortunate propensity to
consider self-interest and "duty" identical. Of
course, Mazzini advocates universal suffrage; of the
working of which we have in America such a seduc-
tive example, and he is also gallant enough to con-
cede to the ladies equality in " civil .and political
life." Verily, his Utopia reminds us in its guile-
lessness of that of the virtuous, though somewhat
tedious Gonzalo in the "Tempest," who "would by
contraries execute all things." For be it understood
we are far from thinking that Mazzini deliberately
intends harm. He is like a child at play with lucifer
matches, pleased with the pretty sparkle, but an
unwitting incendiary. He has created man after
his own heart, the reflection of which he has so long
worshipped that he is utterly incapable of perceiv-
ing that his " faultless monster" may be mischievous
as that in " Frankenstein." The " working man"
with him is not so much a brother as an idol. All
above him are tyrants, oppressors, leeches, and vam-
pires. Not that Mazzini uses these precise terms,
he merely suggests them. " You have," says he,
" no master save God in Heaven, and the People on
earth." But who always is, and always has been,
the master of the People P Why, the Demagogue—
stump orator—the man who panders to their pas-
sions, who flatters their vanity, who degrades all
things, sacred and profane, to their level, who leads
them tenderly by the nose "as asses are." We
say again, look at America. Consider the
attitude there of the " Sovereign People:,
Were ever any since the world began so utterly de-
nuded of all that can make a nation great and re-
spected ? And "to this complexion" would Maz-
zini, and such as he, being the universal world!
We have scarce patience with such obliquity. It
is the very dregs of folly ; and nothing but Maz-
zini's singleness of purpose can save his name from
execration. As it is, we give him credit for good,
though in many respects utterly mistaken inten-
tions, and those who wish to examine his theories
in detail may do so to advantage in this well-
executed translation.
