SPORTING NOTES.

FRIDAY'S RACES AT YORK.
The events to be decided on Friday now alone remain
for discussion, and I shall dismiss them with brief ob-
servations. The most important item in the list is the
Great Yorkshire Stakes, for which there are 133 nomi-
nations. West Australian is not likely to figure among
the competitors ; should the field, therefore, be numeri-
cally strong, a good betting race, and an interesting en-
counter may be anticipated. The animals whose chances
appear formidable on paper are the Queen, Mayfair,
Umbriel, Vindex, Honeywood, and Lord Fauconber.
The starting of the c"
Queen will entirely depend upon her
nominator ; but should she go to the post, I shall ex-
pect to see her obtain a forward position in the race.
In her default, I shall expect either Honeywood or Vin-
dex to achieve success.
Boiardo and Cyrus are my selections for the Gimcrack
Stakes. Torment will probably carry off the York Cup.
My opinion as to the probable result of the Ebor
Handicap has undergone no change. lam still firm in
my allegiance to PANTOMIME and ADINE. The best of
Dawson's lot will be a formidable opponent, but I am
not prepared to say which of his horses will be intended.
I have received a mysterious hint about Dick Turpin,
whose day, it is said, has come.

DUBLIN CARRIAGES BILL.

Upon the reading of the Lords' amendments to this bill,
Mr. VANCE remonstrated strongly against the amend-
ment made by the upper house, by which ten instead of
seven statute miles from the General Post-office were fixed
upon as the limit to which drivers were bound to ply.
There was another amendment to which a strong objection
would be entertained—with regard to the disposal of the
penalties. The corporation of Dublin would have petitioned
against this bill altogether if it had been understood from
the first that the penalties were to be monopolised by the
metropolitan police force, instead of going in part to the
guardians of the poor.
Sir J. YOUNG did not see that much disadvantage
could result to the ratepayers of Dublin, in whichever of
the two ways the penalties were employed. It was only
like putting the money out of one pocket into the other.
The Lords' amendments were then agreed to.
The house adjourned a half-past seven o'clock until
three o'clock on Friday, when the sitting will be a con-
tinuous one.

LADVERTISEISIENT.3—THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM.-
30, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.—Observe, opposite the
York Hotel. -- The Royal Exhibition. A valuable,
newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket
glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person
can be seen and known one mile and a half distant
they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the
opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 riles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. TelescoPes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes,. possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3?; inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly upiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
dunces stars ;with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a 'half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket,
and aro of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles
distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have in-
vented invaluable preserving spectacle lenses. Immediately.
they are placed before imperfect vision, every object
appears clear and distinct; the most aged, defective sight
becomes bright and brilliant, is brought to its youthful,
natural, and original state. Deafness—New Discovery—
The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary powerful and
newly-invented instrument, for Deafness, entirely different
from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has
been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the
same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons,
Aurists and Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street. Piccadilly.
Observe, opposite the York Hotel.

settlement of the Account, and prices are much the
same. French Shares are quiet.
Gold Mines are scarcely so good.
The Land Companies' Shares are brisk, at about
the previous rates.
The Joint Stock Banks are steady.
. . .

Assuming the correctness of the extract given
yesterday under this head, from the official pros-
pectus of the Nova Scotia Mining Company, our
attention has been called to a discrepancy
with regard to the capital required, which cer-
tainly upon the face of the document does
not appear, after paying for the properties,
to leave available for the working of the mine, the
sum stated. Some explanation appears wanting,
and we confess we are unable to give it. Further,
the price paid for the land is exceedingly high, con-
sidering what is reported to have been its market
value only a short time back; and thirdly,
the directors, after advertising that applica-
tions for shares would be received until March
5, have suddenly closed the list. It is no part
of our duty to defend anything not "fair and
above board," neither, on the other hand, will we
censure in the absence of full information, but we
cannot help remarking what is said around us,
nor feel justified in withholding those remarks from
the public, who are entitled to all possible infor-
mation. The system of paying " concessionaires"
in shares is liable to great abuse, and there ought
to be a prohibition of sale, or even issue, until a
certain number of dividends are paid.

TURKEY.

- -
The affairs of Turkey again begin to assume a
very serious aspect. The last intelligence that has
been received direct from ConstantinaPle, comes
dated to the 10th instant. It, however, simply
confirms our previous statement, that Count do
Leningen had allowed the Porto a delay of five
days, that is to the Bth, to give a definitive reply
to the representations of Austria. After several
councils, the Divan applied to the Austrian envoy
for three days additional, which were accorded.
Nothing was known on the 10th when the dis-
patches left, as to what the reply of the Divan
would be, but it was generally supposed at Con-
stantinople that it would be evasive.
The Journal des Debats of last night, states that
still later news had been received from Constan-
tinople, by way of Trieste, announcing that the
Porte, not having accepted the Austrian satimaturn,,

SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the
19th. Some difficulties are said to have arisen be-
tween the Minister of Public Works and M. Sala-

maraca, on the subject of the settlement of the
accounts of the railway from Aranjuez to Tambleca.
As soon as an arrangement should have been come
to on the point, M. Salamanca intended leaving
Madrid for Paris. The deputies lately elected
were arriving in the capital, and the returns were
in a great majority favourable to the Government
candidates. The services rendered to the Pope,
when he took refuge at Gaeta, by M. Martinez de
la Rosa, in his .capacity of Ambassador of Spain,
have recently been recompensed by two gold medals
from his Holiness, and by a letter from Cardinal
Antonelli, expressive of the high sentiments of
esteem which the Holy Father felt towards M.
Martinez de la Rosa.

ELECTION COMMITTEES-(THIS DAY.)

'ROME.

The committee to inquire into the petition against the
Sitting member for this borough sat this morning for the
first time—Mr. Hamilton, chairman. _ _ _

Mr. Sergeant Wrangham appeared in support of the
petition, and the sitting member was represented by Mr.
Sergeant Kinglake.
Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, in opening the case for the
petitioners, stated that at the time of the last general
election Colonel Boyle, one of the candidates, held the
office of secretary to the order of St. Patrick, and by an
act of Parliament, Anne 6, c. 7, was for that reason dis-
qualified for sitting in Parliament. At the show of
hands, therefore, at the nomination Mr. Hall Dare, the
other candidate, ought to • have been declared duly
elected, just as if Colonel Boyle had not been there at
all, or as if there had been no opposition.

CAMBRIDGE.
The committee to inquire into this election met th's
morning at twelve o'clock—Mr. Vernon Smith, chair-

Mr. Kinglake, Mr. Rodnell, Mr. James, and Mr.
Buchan appeared to support the petition ; Mr. Sergeant
Wrangham, Mr. Mere wether, and Mr. Montague Smith
appeared "for the sitting member.
Mr. Sergeant Kinglake stated that the system of
bribing pursued at the last election was accomplished in
a peculiar manner. A Mr. Long took a room at the
Butchers' Arms 4:M, the day of the election, and there
voters were introduced to him and promised money for
their votes. After the election he walked through the
town, accompanied by two females, and upon passing
one of these voters, one of the females would linger be-
hind, and put into the voters hand an envelope, con-
taining a 101. note. Refreshment tickets were also dis-
tributed in large quantities through Barnwell and Castle-
end.

The case was proceeding when the report left.

BRIDGNORTH.

The Committee sat at one o'clock.

Mr. James proceeded to reply on the whole case, and
had not concluded when our report left. The decision
will probably be given to-day, and if so, will be given in
our evening edition.

CLITH.EROE.

The committee re-assembled this morning at n
o'clock.

Mr. Edwin James proceeded to sum up the evidence
on behalf of the petitioners. He contended that the
case was one that seriously affected the sitting mem-
ber, and those whose agency for him could be
proved. It proved that a system of corruption
and bribery existed in Clitheroe, such as it was
necessary to put an end to before any candidate
could contest the borough on honourable principles.
The petition had originated, not in party motives, but
from a desire on the part of respectable persons who
were anxious to purify the borough. The greater part
of the responsibility rested with the working man's com-
mittee, which was formed under the sitting member's
auspices, and the sitting member was liable, and the
petitioner, after the facts which had been fully disclosed,
fully relied on the committee doing them justice.
Mr. Pigott was proceeding to open the sitting mem-
ber's case when our report left.

ITALY.

On the first Sunday in Lent the Pope, dressed
in full pontificals, went to the Sixtine Chapel of
the Vatican to attend a solemn mass performed by
Mgr. Gaetan Bedini, Archbishop of Thebes. A
Latin sermon was afterwards delivered by the
Procureur-General of the order of the Preaching-
Brotherhood.

Father Roothan, General of the Jesuits, is dan-
gerously ill at Rome. In the-night of the 12th his
disorder assumed such a serious turn that it was
considered necessary to administer to him extreme
unction, but on the following day he was a shade
better.

The special commission for the withdrawal of

poper-money from circulation in the Papal States
has issued a notice, dated the 14th, announcing the
concremation of old paper-money to the amount of
26,500 scudi (147,215 fr.), and the issue.of 280,500
scudi (1,558,325 fr.) worth of new paper-mgney,
called boni di Suirogazione, instead of the same
sum of old paper-money withdrawn from circula-
tion.

The Basle Gazette of the 23d says :—A telegra-
phic received to-day informs us that the federal
council yesterday adopted the following resolution:
"The federal resolution concerningtheinternement
of the Italian refugees shall be executed. All indi-
viduals who are compromised are to be expelled.
Notice of the same shall be made to Austria, who will
be called on to raise the blockade." A letter from
Berne of the 22d, in the New Zurich Gazette, con-
tains some particulars on the same point. It says :
--The federal council has decided that all
Italian refugees in the canton of Tessino shall
be appointed fixed residences in the interior,
conformably with the federal resolution of 1848.
The federal commissioner is to examine the real
state of things, and in particular to seek out if
there are depots of arms and ammunition in Tes-
sino ; if so, they are to be placed under sequestra-
tion, and any persons found compromised in such
matters are to be expelled. The council also took
into consideration the reply to be made to the notes
of tho Austrian Government, but in a general man-
ner. It will not enter into the details of the sub-
ject until it has discussed the report of Colonel
Bourgeois.
The latest accounts from the canton of Ticino, in.
the Turin papers, reach up to the 19th. The mea-
sures prescribed by Marshal Radetzky against that
canton were being enforced with the greatest seve-
rity. Numbers of Ticinese are crossing

THE AUSTRALIAN STEAMER.

PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY, 9 p.m.
The Australian, Captain Hoses.son, sailed for the
Cape and Australia yesterday at 4 40 p.m., and put
back leaky this evening at 6. With the wind at
W.N.W. she made 10i knots, and reached 60 miles
W.S.W. of the Eddystone, when, shortly after mid-
night, three feet of water were discovered in her engine-
rooms. This increased to four feet and a half, and
nearly extinguished the port-engine fire. The two
engine-room engines and the two injection pumps were
set to work, but with little effect. The ship was, there-
fore, put about at three o'clock, and on reaching smooth
water, the leak was reduced four or five inches per hour.
On entering the Sound she had three feet in the engine-
room, and her cog-wheel is a little out of order. A
very heavy gale prevailed during the night, and carried
away her port life-boat. The Australian will probably
go into dock to-morrow.

NORWICH ELECTION.

Mr. MACKENZIE wished to ask the hon. member
for Finsbury what he intended to do with regardto the
petition which the hon. member presented yesterday on
the subject of the Norwich Election ?
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said, if the house had per-
mitted him yesterday he should have gone on then with
the matter, and the house would mot now have been
placed in a ridiculous and absurd position as regarded
the 'public. The Tory interest had been grossly ill-
used by a portion of the Tory party, and particularly
by the Carlton Club. The withdrawal of the petition,
however, was a fraud upon the house ; but the Speaker
decided that a fraud upon the house was not a breach of
privilege. He was prepared to prove that Mr. Brown
had no authority to withdraw the petition, and
he would give notice that, after the private business
on Monday, he would move for a committee of inquiry
to investigate the whole matter. (Hear, hear.)
