It is understood that the exhibitors at the Crystal Palace
have reaped a good harvest, and there is every probability
of a large accession of articles of great interest on the
closing of the International, it being now well understood
by manufacturers and exhibitors that except on occasions
of great decennial exhibitions, similar to the present Inter •
national display, mere collections of industrial art—how-
ever interesting and meritorious in themselves—will not
draw sufficient visitors, unless supplemented by other and
constantly varying attractions.

It is in these respects that the Crystal Palace stands in,
and will continue to maintain, its pre-eminent position.
The building, admittedly unrivalled throughout the:world
—its magnificent site and commanding situation—its Pine
Arts Courts and Collections, comprising exact reproduc-
tions of the chef d'oeuvres of sculptured art of all countries
—its splendid exterior and interior gardens—these alone pre-
sent a combined attraction without parallel. When, how-
ever, to this is added every passing special attraction of the
day, and the facility of access by railway—about to be
greatly increased—it is not to be wondered at,that exhibitors
and manufacturers, desirous of introducing their goods and
wares to the notice of purchasers, should turn their eyes to
the Crystal Palace. The directors are fully alive to the
importance of affording all the co-operation in their power
to this department, and no doubt is entertained of great
permanent benefit resulting in this respect to the Crystal
Palace.

Next week will be one of considerable special attraction,
On Tuesday, a combined popular monster Fete, on behalf
of Mr. Strange, the refreshment contractor, will be
given, which will include all the usual, as well as
other unusual novelties. Blondin will display his powers
on the long rope over the fountains, The popularity of this
unique performer continues unabated ; in himself he is sure to
draw a host of visitors, but specially on the present occasion,
when Leotard is also to make an appearance at the Palace.
A series of trapezes have been fixed in the centre Iran
sept, upon which the latter will be enabled to ex-
hibit his daring flights on a far more extended
scale than at any of his previous exhibitions.
All the Great Fountains will be played ; the
Rocky Mountain Wonders and the Etoile Family
will entertain the holiday folks, and with a balloon ascent
by Mr. Coxwell, military bands, &c., such a combination
of attractions will be given from morning until night, as
must render it one of the great days of the present great
season. Excursion trains will run from all parts, and to
enable visitors to leave the palace leisurely the naves and
transepts will be brilliantly lighted in the evening for the
first time.

On Thursday the Great Fountains will be again played,
and on Friday Blondin will repeate his low rope perform-
ance of last week, which was pronounced the most extra-
ordinary display yet seen of this celebrated performer.
The experiment of making Saturday a shilling day has
proved so successful, that it will be continued throughout
the period the International Exhibition remains open.

T.REA7MENT OF THE GARIBALDIAN
PRISONERS.

The following letters have been addressed to M.
Rattazzi by some of the Garibaldian prisoners

Fort of Monte-Ra' ti, near Genoa, Sept. 11, 1862.

Sir,—The Official Gazette recently contained a note
by which it appears that the Government has declared that
it gave the kinlest orders with respect to the prisoners of
Aspromonte. The undersigned declare that they consider
as arbitrary and illegal the term "prisoners of war,"which
the Government has applied to them,and which would with-
draw them from the jurisdiction legally competent to try
them. Upon this point, however, they reserve their pro-
test for an opportune time, when they will invoke the laws
and principles of public right sanctioned by the statute.
Meanwhile, in order that public opidion may not be led
into, error, and that there may exist a document to prove
that the kind measures boasted of by the Official Gazette, if
they were ever really ordered, were not executed ; the un-
dersigned wish to inform the minister that so far from they
and their companions being treated with distinction and re-
spect, on the contrary, from the very arrangement of the
fort in which they are enclosed, 450 prisoners are crowded
together without sufficient air or motion, prevented from
walking outside the dormitories, and therefore compelled
from want of space to remain always stretched, which is con.•
trary to the very first principles of health. The undersigned,
although specially watched, out of the personal deference of
the commandant of the fort,are shut up, to the number of 13,
is a small room, three metres square, without ever being
able to go out. They have not yet been able to receive a
letter from their families, and they are not certain that any
of the letters written by them have arrived at their ad-
dress. They lie upon the ground ; they are in want of
everything necessary for personal cleanliness and the pre-
servation of health. They are rigorously refused all
ex-
ternal communication, and it becomes every day more and
more difficult for them to write or to procure any necessa-
ries from without. This is how we are permitted to pro-
cure the conveniences to which we have been accustomed
as the Official Gazette alleges. The undersigned do not
ask for any special favour for themselves from the Minis-
ter, but in their own name, and in the name of their com-
panions, they protest against this unworthy treatment and
this strange rigour, which have been suggested by an un-
reasonable fear. The Government which treats us—us
who have taken arms for the national unity to the cry of
" Italy and Victor Emmanuel"—worse than it would dare
to treat the vilest criminals—is endeavouring to excuse it-
self to public opinion by official lies. We demand light,
air, room, motion ; permission to obtain necessaries at our
own expense, and to make known to our relations and
Mends where we are and how we are. Grant us this ;
cease to tell lies and to deceive our families and country.

DONCASTER RACES.—THURSDAY.
The morning, which was occupied in partially settling
accounts on the great race of yesterday, opened with a splen-
did sunshine, and throughout the entire day the weather
was lovely. Little or no business having been transacted on
the previous evening (when the acceptances for the two
large autumn handicaps were correctly given at a few
minutes before midnight), betting was'nearly at a stand-
still, and paying and receiving engrossed the attention of
subscribers. The scene on the course was quiet as com-
pared with the previous day, and eight races were run off
in four hours, to the gratification of a more select company
than is often seen at Doncaster upon what is termed an "off
day." The chief event, called the Portland Plate, was
placed last on the card, and produced a field of 20, causing
a brilliant finish to the day's sport, during the fulfilment of
which the Derby favourite, Lord Clifden, was run to a head
in giving 101 b. to Bohemia. The Orphan won the Eglin-
ton Stakes to the surprise of her own party, and Tim
Whiffler gave another proof of his quality,
by beating the
winner of the Ascot Cup with ease ; ibethird furnishing a
favourite for the Cesarewitch. That iitce and the Cam-
bridgeshire were touched upon during the clay, but no bets
of any very large amount came under our notice. The
racing was over at half-past 5 o'clock.
The Scarborough Stakes of 20 sovs each, 10 ft, for 3-yr-
old colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 61b ; winners extra, with

by the-favourite and Misa-Livingstone-toftlialtalf distanar;
where the three closed and ran to the stand, where Brah-
min, showing temper, was passed by The Knave and Mr.
Saxon's filly, who finished a good race home, the favourite
winning very easily by a neck; a length between the second
and third.

The Juvenile Selling Stakes of 5 sous each, with 60 added,

The favourite jumped away with a long lead, and made
all the running, and won in a canter by three lengths.
Bones, who headed Corydon opposite the stand, obtained
the second place by two lengths. The winner was
bought in for 200 guineas, and Captain Christie claimed
Corydon.

Betting--7 to 4 agst Golden Dust, sto 1 agst Win-
grave, 7 to 1 each agst Cairn astle and Zetland, and 12 to 1
agst My Mary.

Some time was taken up at the post by the breaking away
of Amazonian, Cairncastle, My Mary, and Dirt Cheap.
When the flag was lowered Cairncastle was the first away,
and, with My Mary, Amazonian, Stampede, the favourite,
and the Orphan closely laid, came on in advance ; the others,
with the exception of Zetland, Brahmin, and Wingrave
lying up. On entering into the straight Golden Dust came
up on the outside, and in a few strides after obtained a
clear lead, closely attended by Cairncastle, the Orphan, and
Zetland. On reaching the enclosure, Golden Dust, and
Cairncastle were beaten, and the lead was taken up by Lord
St. Vincent's filly, followed by My Mary, who made her
effort to get up at the post, but failed, and was beaten
cleverly three parts of a length; four lengths between the
second and third, Golden Dust was fourth, Zetland fifth,
Cairncastle sixth, and Dirt Cheap next. Brahmin, Win-
grave, and Stampede were the last three. Tipple did not
pass the post.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Bathilde, sto 2 agst Vancouver, 4
to 1 agst Ace of Clubs, and 7 to 1 agst Haddington and
Gleam.

They left the post in straggling order, the last of all being
Gleam, who got off badly. Vancouver cut out the work at
a moderate pace, followed by Bathilde, Ace of Clubs, and
Haddington to the turn into the straight, where the latter
was beaten. The Ace of Clubs at the same ran past his
horses, and came in with a clear lead, which he held to the
end, and won cleverly by a length, two lengths separating
the second and third.

A Plate of 300 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs
each, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Weights for age;
winners extra. The second horse to receive 50 sovs out

Betting opened at 6 to 5 on Asteroid, and closed at 5 to
4 on Tim Whiffler.

Asteroid made play at a steady pace, the favourite going
on second and Silkstone last to the mile post, where Tim
Whiner drew up to Asteroid's quarters, the pair racing for
the lead to the rifle butts, where the favourite got his head
in front, and came on with the running to the distance,
where he gradually drew away and won in a very easy
style by three lengths. Silkstone was beaten four lengths
for second.

An excellent start was effected at the first time. Vol-
turno, in company with Pratique, made play for the first
quarter of a mile, when they were headed by Bohemia,who
came on with a clear lead next the rails, Pratique lying
second, Gcntilhomme third, with Weatherbow and the fa-
vourite side by side next. In this way they ran to the half
distance, where Volturno was beaten, and Lord Clifden and
Queen Bertha ran up to Pratique, the four running in close
order to the Stand, where the favourite gradually drew for-
ward, and caught Bohemia a few strides from the chair, and
won by a head, three lengths separating the second and
third ; a bad fourth.

The Zetland Stakes of 50 soya each, for 3-yr-old colts, Bst

tance, where the latter was beaten and dropped back, Hope-
ful Duchess taking its place, but was never enabled to
reach the favourite, who won in a canter by half a length.

each agst Gipsy Girl, Ducat, Villafranca, Tattoo, and
Who's Who, 20 to 1 each agst Interduca and Stockbroker,
and 25 to 1 agst Lady Alice Hawthorn.
It was some time before the starter was enabled to get
' the horses under subjection; at last the signal flag was
lowered, and the 20 competitors were seen in a body stream-
ing along the bend, the leading horses
comprising the fa-
vourite, next the rails, with Ducat, 'w ho's Who, Arrogante,
Ace of Clubs, Biondella, and Eidolon, with the others close
at their heels. In this order they ran to the half distance,
where Queen of Trumps increased her lead, followed by
Newmarket and Stockbroker, who
getting through their
horses came on two or three lengths in advance of Eidolon,
to which four the race was reduced at the Stand, the favou-
rite whining with great ease by a length and a half, a neck
separating the second and third ; Eidolon was a good fourth,
Arrogante fifth, Lady
Alice Hawthorn sixth, and Biondella
next.

THE LATE CITY SOLICITOR.

The LORD MAYOR said he thought it right to
inform the court that he had received a letter from
Mrs. Pearson, the widow of the late lamented City
Solicitor, announcing the death of her husband, and
requesting him to give a formal notice of the fact
to the court.

Deputy HARRISON moved that the letters be
printed in the journals of the court."
Alderman DARIN said he believed it was always
customary for a few observations to be made upon
the occasion of the death of an old and faithful
servant of the corporation. He was sure that
every member of the court deeply felt the loss they
had sustained—(hear, hear)—but he felt quite un-
prepared at that moment to enter upon the subject,
and he should therefore suggest that the matter
should be postponed to a future day. (Hear, hear.)
The proposition was agreed to.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that the next duty that
devolved upon the court was to take the necessary
steps to appoint a successor to the late lamented
gentleman, and he should therefore move in accord-
ance with the usual practice, that the subject be
referred to the officers and clerks committee, for
them to inquire into the nature of the duties and
emoluments of the office of City Solicitor, and to
report to the court whether any and what altera-
tions should be made in the office, and whether it
could be advantageously combined with any other
office.

Deputy HARRISON, in seconding the motion, said
he had seen in some of the newspapers a statement
that several members of this court intended to
become candidates for the vacant office. If this
were so. it would perhaps be as well to suspend the
standing orders of the court which would render
them ineligible. (Loud cries of " No, no.") He was
glad to hear these cries of " no "—(laughter)--and
he should, therefore, not farther press the sugges-
tion.

The motion of Mr. Taylor was then agreed to, as
also was one by the same gentleman that Mr. Brand,
the comptroller, should perform' the duties of
City Solicitor until a successor to the late Mr
Pearson was appointed.
