GOODWOOD RACES.--TUESDAY.
The delightful change in the weather which has glad-
dened the hearts of agticulturists and done away with their
despondency at the thoughts of an ill-yielding harvest,
brightened also the prospects of the hundreds of visitors
sojourning on the coast of Sussex for the race meetings of
this and the coming week. Yet, the sky, clear as it was on
Monday, was not a cloudless one for the ducal house of
Lennox—the heads of that house were absent at the hour
of mirth, a family bereavement having called them away at
the moment when their hospitable balls were being thrown
open to the circle of friends usually invited for the races.
Sport and pleasure, nevertheless, held their accustomed
sway, the busy multitude wended its way across the beau-
tiful downs, and Good wood Races presented as gay a
scene as ever before the bugler on the summit of the stand
announced the starting of the horses for the opening event
of the day. Then the stand and lawn were filled with
such a goodly company as no other racecourse in England
can boast of; the well-born lady could enjoy the national
pastime free from the crowding of the national mob, and
the gentlemen could see the horses as they passed without

being elbowed from their standing place by noisy plebians.

The first three events elicited simply a common observa-
tion—but the Stewards' Cup, with 34 numbers on the tele-
graph, created a very great amount of interest. The light
weights played their customary pranks at the post, and
delayed the start till loug beyond the time fixed for the fol-
lowing race to be run. At last the body of colours came
sweeping down the hill in a cluster, and a daughter of
Surplice, who was trained on this ground for his double
victory of Derby and St. Leger, won the handsome Stew-
ards' Cup of 1862. The Ham Stakes produced a splendid
contest between two good two-yr-olds, both by Voltigeur.
The rest were quickly run off, and a capital day's sport
ended at six o'clock, which enabled those returning to
town to catch the up grain from Brighton. Ths following
is a full description of the day's racing:—

The Craven Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added, for 3-3 r-
olds and upwards; weights for age ; with selling allow-
ances. 6 subs.
Baron Rothschild's King of Diamonds, 5 yrs (not to be
sold), 9st 91b
Mr. Naylor's Sawcutter, 4 yrs (not to be sold), 9st 61b
(Challoner) 2
Mr. Astley's Atherstone, 4 yrs (not to be sold), 9st 61b

(Fordham) 3
Mr. H. Savile's Reveille, 4 yrs (L 100), Bst lib
(W. Cotton) 4
Betting-6 to 4 agst Atherstone, sto 2 agst Sawcutter,
and 3 to 1 agst King of Diamonds.

Reveille, in company with King of Diamonds, were the
first off, but, after running 200 or 300 yards, the favourite
went to the front, Reveille going on second, and King of
Diamonds, with Sawcutter at his girths, lying up, the pace
mending as they made the turn into the stz aight, Atherstone
coming on with a clear lead, waited upon by Sawcutter
and King of Diamonds, to the stand, where the latter
joined the leaders, and, on reaching the stand enclosure,
he got his head in advance, and ultimately won a fine race
by half a length, a head only separating the second and
third ; Reveille pulled up a bad fourth.

The Gratwicke Stakes of 100 sovs each, h ft, for colts Bst
101 b, and fillies Bst 51b, with certain allowances. The
second horse to receive 200 sovs, and the third to save
his stake. Mile and a half. 20 subs.

Lord Glasgow's Miss Sarah f (31b), Bst 21b (car. Bst 31b)
(Aldcroft) 1
Baron Rothschild's Gorse (61b), 7st 131 b.... (For dham) 2
Lord Zetland's Piccador, Bst 101 b (A. Edwards) 3
Col. Towneley's Hubert (31b), Bst 71b (Bullock) 4
Lord Portsmouth's Villette, Bst 51b.... (H. Grimshaw) 5
Mr. Gratwicke's Ashford, Bst 101 b (Daley) 6
Betting-5 to 2 each agst Hubert and Miss Sarah f, and
3 to 1 agst Gorse.

After one failure, occasioned by Hubert, Villette, and
Piccador taking the wrong course, the flag was lowered to
an admirable start. Gorse immediately rushed to the front
and made a strong pace, followed in Indian file by Hubert,
Piccador, Miss Sarah filly, Villette, and Ashford, in which
order they rounded the far turn, where Hubert with Pic-
cador at his side gradually drew upon the leader, who on
rounding the turn for home gave way to Lord Zetland's
colt, who came on with a clear lead to the end of the rails,
where he was joined by Gorse and the Miss Sarah filly,
Hubert at the same time dropping back. An excellent race
between the three ensued ; the Miss Sarah filly, getting her
head in front a few strides from the Stand enclosure, won
very cleverly by a length and a half. Piccador finished a
bad third, Hubert fourth, beaten off.
TheLavantStakes of 50 soya each, 30 ft, for 2-yr-olds; colts
Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 31b ; winners extra. The owner of

the second horse to receive back his stake. Half a mile.

20 subs.
Baron Niviere's Brick, Bst 71b (H. Grimshaw) 1
Sir H. Des Vceux's Taje, Bst 71b . (Custance) 2
Mr. R. Ten Broeck's Tornado, Bst 31b.... (G. Fordham) 3

The following also ran :—Soapstone, Escape, Stock-
broker, Catalpa colt, and Ireton.
Betting-9 to 4 agst Soapstone, sto 2 agst Tornado, sto
1 agst Taje, 7 to 1 agst Brick, and 8 to 1 agst Stockbroker.
Immediately the flag was lowered Taje went to the front
and came on with a slight lead, which he held for a short
distance, when he was joined by Brick, the pair alternately
leading, Soapstone, Escape, and Stockbroker being their
immediate followers. On reaching the stand the French-
man appeared to have a trifle the best of it, but Custance
making his effort at the same time brought his horse's
head level with his antagonist, and the result remained in
doubt until the winner's number was exhibited at the chair,
Brick just landing the Baron's colours in the last stride by
a neck, Tornado, who came with a rush within a few
strides of the post, obtaining the barren honour of third, a
neck in advance of Soapstone ; Ireton was fifth, and The
Trapper sixth.

The Stewards' Cup, value 300 sous (handicap), by sub. of
10 sovs each, with 100 added ; for 3-yr.olds and upwards.

T.Y.C. 77 subs.
Capt. Christia's Lady Clifden, 4 yrs, Bst 91b (Fordham) 1
Mr. Bevill's Alvediston, 3 yrs, 6st 101 b (carried Est 131 b
(H. Grunshaw) 2
Mr. G. Lambert's Humphrey, 3 yrs, Est 71b .... (Doyle) 3
Tho following also ran :—King of Diamonds, Camerino,
Man at Arms, Palestro, General Hess, Wild Rose, Baron
Munchauson, Hesper, Silverhair, Hartley Whitney, Mag-
giore, Gallus, Copernicus, Vancouver,Lopcatcher, Caliban,
Volunteer, Canary, Ellerton, Biondella. Ducat, Agag,
Lapidist, Enfield, Peignoir, David Ann, Entremet, Sport-
ing Life, Ace of Clubs, Bosh, and Wild Duck.
Betting-4 to 1 agst Volunteer, 11 to 2 agst Lady Clif-
den, 8 to 1 agst Humphrey, 10 to 1 agat Bosh, 100 to 6
each apt Ellerton and Ace of Clubs, 20 to 1 agst Ducat, 25
to 1 each agst Gallus, King of Diamonds, and Canary, 33
to 1 each Palestro and Hartley Wintney, 40 to 1 each agst
Man-at-Arms, Wild Rose, Copernicus, Caliban, Biondella,
Alvediston, David Ann, Sporting Life, and Wild Duck,
and 50 to 1 apt Hesper.

In consequence of the total disregard paid to the Starter's
order by the greater number of jockeys, upwards of three-
quarters of an hour was wasted at the post before Mr.
M'George could despatch them upon equitable terms. The
first to show in advance was Hesper, who jumped away
with a commanding lead, having Humphrey on his left with
Lady Clifden on the rails on the upper side next, with
Ellerton, the favourite, Alvediston, David Ann, Hartney
Wintney, Biondella, and Bosh lying in a cluster in the
centre of the course in close attendance, the others headed
by Maggiore, Camerino, and Man-at-Arms, being a length
or so in their rear. With little or no alteration they ran
thus to the entrance of the rails, where Hesper was headed
by Lady Clifden and Humphrey, and in a few strides fur-
ther Grimshaw brought Alvediston to the front, but his
saddle afterwards slipping round he was compelled to take
a pull to steady his horse, and in consequence never fairly
reached the leaders until reaching the centre of the stand,
when he came with a rush and headed Humphrey, but was
never enabled to quite reach Capt. Christie's mare, who
won very cleverly by half a length, Alvediston defeating
Humphrey by a neck for second; Ace of Clubs and David
Ann, side by side, finished fourth and fifth, Volunteer,
Bosh, Hesper, Lopcatcher, and Ellerton heading the ruck
as we have given them, the last lot consisting of Canary,
Sporting Life, General Hesse, Silverhair, and King of
Diamonds beaten off a long way. Run in lm. 18sec.
Match, half-mile ; £lOO, 50 ft.

DEATH OP CHARLTON, THE JOCKEY,—Wo regret to
state that John Charlton, the celebrated jockey, died on
Sunday last, at Mahon, of consumption. It will be re
membered that he rode Blink Bonny inthe Derby and Oaks,
when that mare achieved her memorable double victory at
Epsom, in 1857. Both the heroine and her rider on that
occasion are now gone—Blink Bonny having died at the
commencement of the present season. Charlton also
piloted Mincemeat won she Won the Oaks in 1864,

terday, and was decided in favour of Burgess, after fight-
ing 61 rounds, in one hour and twenty minutes.

FRANCE, ITALY, SPAIN, AND MEXICO.

A letter from Paris says :—The French Govern-
ment has addressed, or is about to address, a
circular to the European Powers that have recog-
nized the Kingdom of Italy, urging the necessity of
a general Congress for the definitive settlement of
the affairs of that country. It dwells particularly
on the impossibility of keeping a French army
much longer at Rome to protect a Government
which has invariably rejected all the propositions
hitherto made to it, and which will make no con-
cession to its subjects. There is little doubt, I
believe, of Spain soon recognizing the Kingdom of
Italy.
General Jose Concha,the new Spanish ambassador,
will be here on the Bth or 10th of August, and will,
as I mentioned on a previous occasion, present his
credentials in due form at the. Tuileries before the
15th. He will leave Madrid on the Ist, join his
family at Biarritz, and stay
with them some days.
He will, no doubt, do his best to remove whatever
unpleasant impressions may still remain on the mind
of the Emperor in consequence of the retirement of
General Prim from Mexico. ' Prim, doubtless,
thought that, though Spanish self-love might be
hurt by that step, the real interest of Spain would
lose nothing by keeping aloof from this Mexican dif-
ficulty. General Concha may think otherwise, and
may be more open to Conviction than his more
impetuous friend. Ido not .yet despair of seeing
Spanish troops returning to Mexico, and sharing
in the glories, though perhaps not in the material
advantages of the conquest, which are coveted only
by more vulgar conquerors. The Emperor must set
great value on such an auxiliary in the war with
Mexico, and the campaign of Morocco has shown
what Spain can do when she puts forth all her
strength.

Napoleon I. left nothing undone, as we know, to
induce the Spain of his day to join the alliance in
another great project. Spain, to be sure, did not
gain much by the Prince of Peace yielding to the
flatteries and seductions of wily friends and pre-
lates, and the Spain of 1862 is not the Spain of
" Sixty years since."

When Junot was sent to Madrid in February,
1805, the Emperor was gracious enough to draw up
his instructions with his own hand, and he pointed
out with great care the line of conduct he was to
follow towards Godoy, who was then the real ruler
of Spain. "You will tell the Prince of Peace," he
says,—

" That your instructions require you to try for
fifteen days every means of negotiation and of
gentleness, and that if Portugal refuse to shut her
ports to England, to lay an embargo on English
ships, to confiscate English merchandise, both am-
bassadors (Spanish and French) must quit simul-
taneously ; that war shall be immediately declared
against Portugal, and the property and goods be-
longing to her shall be forthwith confiscated in both
States ; that I shall furnish before the autumn the
forces Spain may require, and that we shall both
take possession of Portugal. Add to all this, that
it is necessary the King of Spain shall write, five
days after your arrival at Lisbon, a letter to the
Prince Regent, calling upon him to make common
cause with Spain against England. If war follow,
you are authorised to concert with him as to the
future destiny of Portugal, and as to what shall be
done with it.

" You will also tell the Prince of Peace that the
King of Prussia has sent me twelve Grand Crosses
of the Prussian Eagle to distribute among the most
considerable persons of France ; that I should see
with pleasure the King of Spain, of his own mere
movement, doing the same by the Golden Fleece;
that you are authorised to concert with him as to
this matter, that the exchange might take place be-
tween the two Sovereigns, and I shall send the de-
coration of the Legion of Honour for the King and
the Princes.

" You will tell the Prince of Peace that I see with
pleasure the communications of M. Lacepede with
his agent in Paris, and that I have charged you to
hear all he may have to say to me, either of per-
sonal interest, or in the interest of Spain.
" You will tell the Prince of Peace that if every-
thing goes on as I have reason to hope, and if a per-
fect concert reign between us, he may count upon
my support ; that if he should have a desire to come
to Paris he shall enjoy great consideration here; that
I have charged though in Lisbon, to transmit
to me what he may have to communicate to me, and
which cannot pass through my Minister Beurnon-
♦ille (Napoleon's Ambassador at Madrid), or by the
ordinary channels. You will just hint to him that
Buernonville, who has my confidence in general
matters, does not possess it for more intimate ones.
Finally, you will receive all his communications,
be they what they may; write down all, and
transmit an account of all to me.

"When you have thus opened affairs, and you
begin to be intimate with the Prince of Peace, after
the fourth or fifth conversation you will whisper
something to him about the future destiny of Spain,
and hint that the influence of the daughter of the
Austrian woman of Naples would be opposed to
Spain if the King of Spain should die.
" You will stay eight days in Spain and send me
a courier. You are not to let Beurnonviile see that
you are charged with any communication to the
Prince of Peace, and you must not transmit my
letter to the King of Spain but through the Prince
of Peace. For the rest, you are to be polite with
him and appear a good sort of fellow, without, how-
ever, letting him assume over you any influence or
any sort of tone.
"You are also to inform the Prince of Peace that
I intend making him a present, to show my esteem
for him ; and that lam waiting till the Spanish
squadrons have done something in order to attri •
bute to him all the glory, and to give him a public
testimonial of my esteem.

" NAPOLEON."

The " Spanish squadrons," together with the
French, did " something" a few months afterwards,
bnt the Prince of Peace was not over-anxious to
claim the glory of it. This credulous and vain per-
son, whom Napoleon despised while he flattered
him, fled frumu Spaiu iu 1808, and died us much
forgotten as if he had never existed a few years ago
in an obscure lodging in Paris.
Colonel Colombres, of the Mexican army, arrived
at Orizaba on the 12th of June with a flag of truce,
and presented the following letter to General de
Lorencez :
" To THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE FRENCH
TROOPS AT ORIZABA.

" Head-quarters of the Army of the East,
Tecamaltica, June 12.
" General,—l have reason to believe that you and
the officers of the division placed under your com-
mand have sent a protest to the Emperor against
the conduct pursued by M. Dubois de Saligny when
you became convinced that M. Dubois de Saligny
had suggested an expedition against a people who
up to that moment were the best friends of the
French nation. That circumstance and the cer-
tainty I feel that the French army is in a difficult
position, as well as the desire to prepare an honour-
able ray( at for it, induce me to propose to you to
capitulate. The essential basis of the capitulation
will be the evacuation of the territory of the Re-
public within a period to be subsequently fixed.
