YORK AUGUST MEETING, WEDNESDAY.

The second day, as usual at this meeting, was marked by
an increased attendance—the Ebor Handicap being the
attraction, although for the nonce denuded of the interest
generally given to it by the speculative spirit of a York-
shireman. In the morning scarcely a bet was laid on that
event, and men in the habit of staying in the subscription-
room until thoy Sr. the raoooouree attonded the sales con-
ducted by the Messrs. Tattersall and Mr. Johnson. There
Sir Tatton Sykes's yearlings were disposed of at an average
of 121 guineas for 15 which were sold, and Sir C. Monk's
five brood mares at an average of 454 guineas. After the
first of the nine races on the card had been run, the objec-
tion laic: against Caller Ou was heard by the stewards,
after some very conflicting evidence, decided against the
mare. Cerintha beat Pratique in a canter, and two 'Splen-
did races followed. The Ebor was run just as our parcel
left, when loud cheers followed the victory of the Earl of
Glasgow.
The Rawcliffe Stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added ;
for 2-yr-old colts, Bst 101 b ; and fillies, Bst 71b, with 31b

Betting-9 to 4on Cerintha, and sto 4 agst Pratique.
The non-favourate made play, with Pratique next the
rails; and the favourite on his whip hand, to the distance,
whon ho dropped back; and Cerintha, with Pratique in
close attendance, came on together to the enclosure, when
Cerintha drew away, and won in a canter by four lengths;
six lengths separating the second and third.

Cellarius, 8 to 1 each agst Grimston and Southport, and
100 to 8 agst Bernice.
Through the fractiousness of Staple Oak, who repeatedly
broke away, the start was delayed some time. When the
flag was lowered Bernice, in company with Cellarius, next
the rails, made play, closely followed by Southport, Red-
pole, and the favourite, the latter lying in the centre until
fairly round the bend, when Bernice was headed by Cella-
rius, who, with Southport on the Stand side, came on in
advance to half-way in the distance, when Redpola took
the command, waited upon by Zora, Bernice, Bob, and
Cellarius to the enclosure, when Fordham made his effort
to get up, but failed, and was beaten rafter a fine finish by
a head, two lengths separating the second and third, Ber-
nice was fourth, Cellarius fifth, Grimston sixth, and Staple
Oak next.

_ _

sure the three closed, and ran locked together to the end,

dividing the second and third. The Clarissa colt was a

to 1 agst The Monk, 8 to 1 agst Fitz Eva, 10 to 1 each
agst The Drake and Conundrum, and 100 to 8 agst the
Makeless filly.

Immediately after the flag was lowered Dulcibella rushed
to the front, The Drake, with Fitz Eva at his side, follow-
ing next. Then came Q. E. D., the Makeless filly, Alan
Rufus, the Monk, Conundrum, and Pembroke in a body,tho
last of all being the heavy weight, Cape Flyaway. In this
order they ran to the front, where Alan Rufus dropped
into the rear, and Cape Flyaway began to draw towards the
ruck. On their fairly rounding the plantation turn Dulci-
bella was headed by The Drake, who came on with a clear
lead to the Middlethorpe corner, where Lord Stamford's
mare was disposed of, and was speedily seen in the rear, fol-
loWed in a few strides by The Drake, the lead being left
with Q. E. D., who, with Fitz Eva, the Makeless filly, and
Conundrum, came on in front to the distance, where they
were joined by Cape Flyaway, the quartette running close
together to the enclosure, where the Makeless filly got
her head in front, and won an excellent race by a neck ; a
length and a half between the second and third ; Q. E. D.
was fourth, three lengths in their rear, Conundrum fifth,
King of Kars sixth, and Pembroke next.

a rush, and won by a head.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Orange Girl, sto 2 agst Le Marechal,
7 to 1 apt King of Utopia, 10 to 1 agst Tease-me-not, 15
to 1 agst Michael Scott.

An excellent start was effected at the first attempt. King
of Utopia, next the rails, was the first off, and came on
with the running, followed by Michael Scott, Cheerful,
Marechal, and Orange Girl in a body to the distance,
where Michael Scott was disposed of, and Cheerful fol-
lowed the leader to the enclosure. He was there beaten,
and tha Frenchman, in company with Orange Girl and
Stampede, joined the front, but never had a chance to
reach Mr. Whittaker's colt, who won easily by two lengths.
Two lengths between the second and third. Stampede was
a bad fourth, Cheerful fifth, Newmarket sixth, Tease-me-
Not the next, the last being Belle, of Yorkshire. After
Orange Girl had passed the post, Alderoft's stirrup broke,
and he fell to the ground, without sustaining any injury;
but as he did not return to weigh Stampede was placed
third, and Orange Girl nowhere.

TURIN, AUG. 17.
In the last letter I wrote on the subject of the
Garibaldian movement I expressed my disbelief of
a rumour, which was widely spread here, that the
guerilla chief had crossed the Strait and landed on
the Calabrian coast. That report has since been
pbsitively contradicted, but it is now as stoutly
asserted that many of the Garibaldian partisans are
already in Calabria, doing their utmost to stir up
the spirits of that extremely inflammable popula-
tion, so as to secure an easy and triumphant pro-
gress to their chief whenever he may choose to ven-
ture across the narrow channel. That Garibaldi,
if he is so minded, will succeed in crossing from the
Sicilian to the Calabrian coast, eluding the cruisers
now plying between Scylla and Charybdis, is mat-
ter about which no man can entertain the slightest
doubt. A large force might not go over unobserved,
but a fisherman's boat, conveying " Cresar and his
fortunes" will smuggle through at any hour of the
day or night; and what effect Garibaldi's presence
may have in that kingdom of Naples, which since
his first rapid march through it has been the source
of all troubles, dangers, and calamities for the pen-
insula, no one can venture to conjecture, for it is
really something too awful to contemplate. We are
told here that a foreign Government advised the
King's Ministers in Turin to seize the American ves-
sels which are lingering off the coast of Sicily with
the obvious intention of wafting Garibaldi over to the
mainland. M. Ratazzi and his colleagues, it is
said, declined to follow this wholesome piece of ad-
vice, lest they should "get into a scrape with the
United States' Government." The fact is, how-
ever, that the Turin Government are loth to come to
close quarters with Garibaldi, and their scruples
and hesitations greatly contribute to keep up the
suspicion of their having all this while and from
the beginning connived at Garibaldi's enterprise,
and been in their heart of hearts privy to it. Such
a policy would, indeed, be not only too unprin-
cipled, but what is held to be worse among states-
men, too unwise and improvident to be believed of
any man or set of men in their senses Somehow
or other, however, few persons give the Ratazzi
Cabinet credit for plain dealing and upwright con-
duct. Ratazzi is thought "to love a crooked path
even when a straight one would bring him sooner
and safer to his goal." He has a lawyer's soul, and
his Government is looked upon as a thorough
lawyer's Government. His cry of " wolf!" has
too often vainly alarmed the neighbourhood. He
may be speaking the truth this time, but " there
are men so sharp and cunning as to be.able to turn
truth itself into an instrument of deception."
Those who are more merciful in their judgment of
the acts of the Ratazzi Government, incline to
think that the Premier's hands are perfectly clear
of any contact with Garibaldi, hardly do the Mi-
nister a better service by spreading about that ".he
tries to make political capital of that mad Sicilian
attempt," and that " notes are being sent to all
foreign Cabinets, warning them that there never
can be peace in Italy, that no orderly Government
can ever be established in this country, till the
nation gets possession of its natural capital on
the Seven Hills. This, as I before informed you,
was ,said to be the main purpose of the Marquis
Pepoli's journey to Paris. The Ministerial press
here has been very loud in its denial of such a mis-
sion ; somehow, however, it has succeeded in per-
suading no man—it has failed to hush up the report.
It is perfectly absurd, perfectly childish, in my
opinion to say that a State Minister on his visit to
a foreign Court is charged with no mission. He
may not have special instructions and credentials,
but he can see foreign Sovereigns and their coun-
sellors without talking over matters of vital inte-
rest with them, if any such matters be pending, and
thereby he will discharge the duty of a diplomatic
negotiator, whether he bears the title or not. The
Marquis Pepoli must needs discuss Garibaldi and
the Roman question with the Emperor, with Prince
Napoleon, with M. Thouvenel. Possibly he may
make no great headway either in convincing them
or conciliating their good will, but, wherever he
goes, the member of a Cabinet brings the whole
Ministry, the King and State, along with him ;
and if the man had any ability, and Napoleon 111.
were to be won over by fair words, no doubt the
Minister of Agriculture would do duty as an Am-
bassador, and, were he successful, his alleged mis-
sion would not be so loudly disavowed.
The real fact is, however, that the moment is
not favourable to press the French Emperor
about the solution of the Roman question. The
Ratazzi
.Cabinet are the very last set of men who
ought to insist upon the matter, as they came into
power by the good will and support of the French
monarch, who was partial to them simply because
they had set themselves against Ricasoli's importu-
nity concerning this same Roman question, and had
pledged themselves, on their attaining power, to let
it sleep for an indefinite length of time, to let it die
away altogether, and to call the attention of the
Italians away from it. " What !" the Emperor may
say, "you, too,—you, of all men, come to plague me
about the Italians and their capital ? You have
scarcely been three months in office, and already
you come upon me with the old cry of the dead
Count and the fallen Baron, and threaten me with
Garibaldi, with anarchy and civil war, unless I do
precisely what I cannot do, and what I have deter
mined not to do. Beware that argument abou
the impossibility of keeping Italy quiet withou

Rome for a capital cuts two ways. You have only
to show the least disposition to give in; you have
only to repeat that you cannot answer for order in
Italy and peace in Europe, and what you confess
yourselves unable to do others will manage in your
stead. I have forborne from interference in Italian
matters ; I have secured non-intervention in your
behalf. This, however, could go on so long as
it might be done consistently with the public
peace and the cause of legality and humanity ;
but if you find your scheme of unification im-

practicable, if Garibaldi is to be allowed to run
riot in Sicily, if Naples is suffered to break
asunder from the monarchy of Victor Emmanuel,

your position is no longer tenable, your ter-
ritory no longer inviolable, and I must step
in for the sake of order in Naples in 1862,
on the same principle and for the same purpose as I
did in Rome in 1849. It is matter of life or death
for the Italian Government to be able to retain the
mastery of the situation ; were they to be even for
one moment overpowered, others must step into
their place."
These words, or words to this effect, have been
clearly conveyed to the Ratazzi Ministry, and
they certainly supply matter for grave considera-
tion, Instead of being induced to withdraw his
troops from Rome, Napoleon is very much inclined,
should Garibaldian success and rampant anarchy
afford him a pretext, to extend his occupation
over the whole or part of the Neapolitanupation
pro-
vinces. I have been, you know, suspicious enough
to think and to say that such was all the time
the Emperor's drift. Resolved upon thwarting
the scheme of the Italians for national unity, he
threw obstacles in the
way of Neapolitan annex-
ation by the attitude of the French fleet at
Gaeta, by his endurance of Francis 11. and the
behaviour of the French troops at Rome, by his
all but open encouragement to Bourbonist bri-
gandage for the last two years, All these contri-
vances did not lend to the desired effect. An-
nexation was voted, the union consummated, and
all efforts to break it were unavailing. The Nea-
politans are a vain, indocile, unreasonable set.
The administration of the South is clumsy and
inefficient; the brigands are troublesome; order is

menaced, the union imperilled ; but still order is
maintained, the union continues, the country keeps
together. No plausible reason is given for inter-
ference. Indeed, matters mend apace, and people
begin to look forward to the chance of seeing the
