TREATY WITH AMERICA.
Earl RUSSELL laid on the table a copy of the treaty
lately entered into between her Majesty's Government and
the United States of America for the suppression of the
slave trade. The treaty gave a mutual right of much and
other extensive powers for
_the carrying out of its
provisions. The American Government had been most
active in preventing the fitting out of slave cruisers
at New York, and one captain of a slave ship had already
suffered capital punishment. He trusted that the treaty
would have the effect of entirely suppressing the nefarious
traffic.
The Bishop of OXFORD expressed great gratification
at the announcement of the noble earl. He felt the treaty
was the one step in the right direction that was wanting to
make all the efforts this country had made for the suppres-
sion of that horrid traffic successful. All that was wanted
was that the flag of the United States should not be allowed
to cover and protect vessels in fro,L,
NTT, t.iyeat pleasure at the announce-
ment which had just been made. He should like to know
whether the treaty was for an indefinite period or for a term
of years.
Earl RUSSELL said the treaty was for ten years, but it
could be renewed.

Earl GREY was rejoiced at the completion of the treaty,
He thought in the present dearth of cotton efforts should be
made for its cultivation in Africa.
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.

Lord REDESDAL E said he had been entrusted with a
petition for presentation from landowners, road trustees,

Their lordships then adjourned.

the average. During the morning Messrs. Tattersalls dis-
posed of 26 yearlings from the Raweliffe stud, which,

with Lord Glasgow's filly second and Donne Canne third.
They ran thus to the straight, where Lord of Linne was
beaten, and the Miss Sarah filly took up the running ; the
favourite then came gradually up on the outside, and over-
hauled Lord Glasgow's filly at the Stand, defeating her
finally, without being extended, by half a length; the third

realis made her effort near the enclosure, but was soon
shaken off by Laura; Bohemia came at the stand, but was
unable to reach Laura, who won cleverly by a length ;

was a bad fourth; Boatswain and Newmarket were fifth

Colonel Crockett immediately rushed to the front, with
Beverley, Ivanhoff, and Caractacus next, the Wizard lying
off. At the end of a quarter of a mile Caractacus took up
the running with Crockett, Beverley, and Rapparee in the
second, third, and fourth places. At the plantation side
Caractacus had a lead of two lengths, but was caught at
Middlethorpe corner by Ivanhoff, which then took second
place on the inside. After rounding the bend for the
straight run in, the Wizard drew gradually forward on the
outside, and at the Stand had his head before Ivanhoff.
The latter was then called upon by Fordham, and being
able to run the longest won an exciting race by a length.
The Wizard won second money by three lengths, and

place.

headed by Mark Tapley, who, with Coral and Adam Pile
in his wake, endeavoured to make his place between Fosco
and Leopard. Those two, however, closed up, and Mark
Tapley, striking into Leopard's heels, fell heavily as they
entered the old course. Coral and Adam Pile immediately
fell over them, Mr. Thacker being much bruised by his fall,
and picked up insensible. Rarey and Mousetrap then went
on in front, with Raby, Fosco, and Guy Penrice following
at intervals of about four lengths each. Rarey continued
his lead to near the straight, where Mousetrap quitted him,
and carried on the running to the stand ; there Raby caught

The celebrated Blink Bonny, winner of both Derby and
Oaks, died on Sunday last. This valuable mare dropped a
colt foal to Stockwell exactly four weeks before her death.

CHANTILLY RACES.

The first day's running came off yesterday, and, notwith-
standing the threatening aspect of the weather, in the morn-
ing, attracted a large number of spectators. The racing was
good, and presented considerable interest, three Derby
horses being brought together, two of which, Stradella,
the Derby favourite, and Souvenir, were winners in the
course of the day, and the third, Noelie, an outsider,
running a dead heat with the first-named horse, much to
the surprise of every one. Stradella, however, redeemed
her reputation in the deciding heat by winning easily.
The dead hell,: occurred in the Prix do Diane (the French
Oaks), which was the principal event of the day. For that
race, out of 31 entries, only six horses came to the post, it
being looked upon as a certainty for the favourite. Souvenir
was the winner of the handicap. The following is a sum-
mary of the days proceedings :

The Prix de la Reine-Blanche of 1,500 f, for horses three
years old and upwards. Entry, 20f, The winner liable
to be claimed for 3,000 f ; allowances made for horses en-

tered to be claimed for less. Distance about 2,200 metres

resse together, 3 to 1 agst Amaranthe, 4 to 1 each agst Qua-
lity filly and Michelet.

Amaranthe, Kabyle, Cresus, and Carcase. Before the
stables Michelet had fallen back, and Croats worked DP W

the second place, Baron Niviere's two being behind the rest.
At the last corner Amaranthe, Cresus, and Quality filly
were leading, and raced home together, coping in in the
order just mentioned.
The Prix du Grog Cherie, of I,ooof, for horses of three years

old and upwards. Entry 100 f. Weights for age. Distance

Plaisir-des-Dames ani Heurlys, 12 to 1 agst Grabuge.
After two false starts they all got well away together,
Bravoure taking the lead, with Pamplemousse and Grabugo
lain n• ninco in 11;0, „.747;
Aventure coming -next. They continued pritty nearly in
that order to the hill, when they were all together. At the
turn, Souvenir and Quid Juris made the running, with

passing the judge's chair in that order; the two first being,
however, four or five lengths ahead of the third and fourth.

Noelie.

Hirma made the running, with Bisbille next, Stradella
third, and Vapeux fourth. At the reservoirs Stradella had
taken the second place, with Vapour third. At the corner,
on the run home, Noelie drew up and ran up to the stand,
close behind Stradella and Hirma, who were leading. Os-
borne, who was riding Noelie, then with a little forcing
contrived to bring up his horse abreast with Stradella, and
they both passed the winning post together, the race being
declared a dead heat.

For the deciding heat, betting 2tol on Stradella. Both
horses started off at a rattling pace, Stradella taking the
lead, which she maintained to the end.
The Prix d'ApremOnt of 2,000 f., for horses of three years

old and upwards. Entry, 100 f.; half forfeit. Distance

about 2,000 metres. Nine subs.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Mon Etoile.
Compiegne made the running, with Mon Etoile second.
At the last turning the three were well together, and a good
race along the straight occurred, Benjamin winning by a
neck, with the same distance between the second and third.
An approaching event which has just been announced,
and which will exercise considerable influence on racing in
France, formed the principal topic of conversation on the
course. We refer to the breaking up of the united stable of
Baron Niviere and Count de Lagrange, and of the probable
retirement of the two noble proprietors from the turf. That
immense establishment, comprising nearly 200 horses, is
now in the market, the price demanded being 800,000 f.
Should no purchaser be found, the whole, it is said, will be
brought to the hammer before the end of the year. Such a
dispersion is, however, greatly to be regretted ; for, what-
ever objections sporting men may make to the league
between two such powerful competitors, and the estab-
lishment of a sort of monopoly, not only have these
gentlemen rendered great services to the popularisation
of the sport in France, but the withdrawal of a large
number of horses from the turf would cause a vacuum
not easily filled up. Another event 15. as also just
transpired, and excites great interest in racing circles
—viz., the establishment of a grand prim, to be run for
every year at the Paris Spring Meeting, and which may,
not improbably, rival the English Derby in importance,
being, it is believed, the largest racing stake in the world.
The prize will consist of 100,000 f, given, half by the city of
Paris and half by the united railway companies, and a work
of art presented by the Emperor, added to a pool made up
of I,ooof entries, and 600 forfeit, for 3-yr-olds of all nations.
The course will be a flat one of 2,400 metres. The entries
for 1863 are to be made up on Ist July next, and on the Ist
of August for the following year.
