TO

THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—My last letter requires but slight amendment.
My opinion of the crack, Eagle's Plume, and Springy
Jack remaining, unaltered. The principal alteration is
in the starting list, which, as far as I can judge, will be
the following :
*Surplice (Templeman); *Nil Desperandum (A.Day);
Glendower (Nat) ; *Springy Jack (F. Butler) ;
Loadatone (Sly or Marson) ; Shylock (Robinson) ;
'Eagle's Plume (Marlow) ; The Fiddler (Chapple) ;
Oscar (Whitehouse); Comet (Edwards); Fugleman,
Telegraph, Great Western, and Sponge. Two or three
others may start, but they will make no difference in the
result. The jcckeys' names I have attached to the
principal favourites ; those marked with an asterisk will
form the front rank at the finish, which contains the
first and second's name for a certainty. I shall take
Lord Eglinton's Eagle Plume for my life-boat, and hope
I may for the fourth time pull through triumphantly.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.
Tuesday Morning, May 23, 1848.

_ome time in September last, Mr. James Harker,
of Kendal, on a visit to London, while partaking of some
boiled chicken felt a pricking sensation in his throat,
which he could only account for by supposing that he
had swallowed a small bone, or a fragment of one. The
obstruction appeared at first to remain where it had fixed,
and for some time Mr. Harker felt inconvenienced by it,
but at length the matter was forgotten. A week or two
ago the circumstance was recalled by a needle two inches
long making its way out of the flesh of the thigh,
whither it had worked itself during the eight months
that had elapsed since the accident above related, when
of course the dangerous little implement had been un-
consciously swallowed by Mr. Harker.— Westmoreland

S WEDEN.

A letter from Stockholm of the 12th amp ounces the
discussion of the grant of two millions: for the ex-
penses of the armaments in the State Assemblies
of the nobility and the peasantry, and its adoption it,
the former of 194 to 49 votes, and in the latter of
49 to 16 votes. The Aftonblad affirms, ttn the autho
rity of well-informed members of the Diet, that
Sweden is not disposed to intervene in. the affair of
Schleswig unless it be in conjunction wirth the great
Powers.
London, England, 1848-05-23

PRUSSIA.

The draft of the new constitution is nearly com-
pleted. It will be modelled on the Belgian consti-
tution. There are to be two Chambers, to be elected
by universal suffrage. Candidates for the second
will require no qualification ; but for the first sena-
tors will be requirel to pay a minimum sum in direct
taxes.

Great excitement continues to prevail respecting
the return of the Prince of PRUSSIA. The effect has
been very decided in the political clubs of which the
leaders of the populace are members. Indeed, ap-
prehensions are entertained by these bodies that they
will he compelled to dissolve.
The meeting which was held at Treves on the sub-
ject of the Prince's return was very stormy, and
concluded with an address against. his recal, w hich
was very numerously signed.

The letter of the Prince of PRUSSIA in regard to
Denmark has produced a rather favourable effect, but
it cannot be denied that there still exists a strong ad-
verse feeling.—Cologne Gazette, May 20.
The Preussischen Staats Anzeiger of the 20th con-
tains a list of the Deputies who have been returned
to the Prussian National Diet. Among others, we
see that UffLica has been elected for Neuhalden-
sleben, in Saxony ; BECKERATII, of Krefield, for Mans-
feld. The Minister has been returned Member for
several places.
The same journal contains a proclamation of the
KING for the execution of dyke- building on the
Vistula and the Rogut.
Letters from Breslau, of the 16th May, state that,
in consequence of a petition of the Breslau wool
merchants, addressed to the Prussian Minister of
Finance, requesting that arrangements might be made
to discount foreign bankers' bills, M. HAUSEMANN
has agreed to enable the Royal Maritime Society
(Seehandlung), during the Breslau wool fair, to dis-
count bills of first-rate English banking-houses to

any amount.
The market opens on the 7th of June, but the first
arrivals of wool are expected some days earlier.
As to the probable result of the fair, it is more
than ever difficult to speak with any degree of cer-
tainty ; daily unforeseen political occurrences consi-
derably influence commercial enterprises. Prices
will, in all probability, be exceedingly low.

" The best genealogical and heraldic dictionary of the Peerage and

hensive encyclopedia of personal and national history ever given to
the public ; combining surprising accuracy and important informa-
tion with the greatest brevity and clearness, and exhibiting in a con-
densed and lucid fbrto the lives and achievements of the many
,eminent men who have shed lustre on the rolls of our nobility, from
the steel-clad barons of Cressy and Agincourt to the heroes of Blen-
heim and Wolierloo. The great amount of interesting matter relative

RESIGN #TION OF THE MINISTERS.

The Wiener Zoitung of the 19di s:ates that, in con
segiu-nce of the step adopted by his leti,-sly th, Er‘i
PRaoa, in regard to the privileges demanded by di.
Burgher Guard, as well as the determination of con-
voking only one Cilamb-r for the ensuing Diet, an,
of setting aside the answers determined upon, bi
MAJESTY'S Ministers have considered it their duty tl
resign the post which his MAJESTY confided then
with, in order to enable the EMPEROR to surround
himself with councillors who may secure general and
powerful co-operation.
According to the last advices from Conegliano in
the Abend Blatt, Count NuGENT had been joined by
the troops of General D'ASPREY, which came by
way of Vicenza and Bassano, and, accompanied
by the Generals Duke ALEXANDER WURTEDi-
BERG and Prince SCHWARZENDERG, had ad-
vanced in person towards Treviso, by way of
Feltre. The insurgents are said to have been
driven back and put to flight in all directions.
After the arrival of this news, the division of the
army posted on the Piave, two hours' march from
Conegliano, crossed that river under the command
of General SCHULZIG, and the Piedmontese and Papal
troops, who had defended the passage, were corn
pletely routed. The Austrian troops were advancing
on this side as far as Spresciano. On Thursday all the
troops would have arrived under the walls of Treviso,
and it was said that its occupants were all making
preparations for flight.

AUSTRIA.

The Archduke JOHN opened the Austrian National
Assembly on the 221 by the following speech :
" Charged by his Majesty our constitutional Emperor
with the opening of the Diet, I come to perform this
agreeable duty, and salute you all from my heart —you,
Gentlemen, who are called upon to finish the work of
the revival of the country. The consolidation of the
liberty we have conquered and our future well-being re-
quire your frank and independent co-operation for the
establishment of the constitution. All the nationalities
of the Austrian monarchy are equally near the heart of
his Majesty, and all interests find a solid basis in the free
fraternization of the nationalities in equality of the
rights of all, and in the close union of Germany. The
heart of his Majesty has been deeply afflicted by
seeing that the plenitude of all the advantages which
liberal institutions, wisely administered, ordinarily
ensure, cannot be at once granted. His Majesty
partakes with a lively sympathy in all the suffer-
ings of his people. As concerns Hungary and
the accessory sountries, we are permitted to
expect, from the generosity and spirit of justice of the
,people, a pacific and satisfactory settlement of the
questions which remain to be solved. The war in
Italy is not directed against the liberties of the people
of that country—its real object is to maintain the honour
of the Austrian army in presence of the Italian powers,
recognising their nationality; and to support the most
important interests of the state. The benevolent desire
to terminate pacifically unhappy dissensions having been
without effect, it has become the task of our brave army
to conquer an honourable peace.—(Applause.) The
friendly relations of Austria with all the other powers
have not undergone any change. Those with Spain, so
long interrupted, are re-established. In consequence of
financial operations, and the concurrence of extraor-
dinary events, the finances of the state are in a con-
dition which requires prompt and extraordinary mea-
sures. The Ministry will present to you the necessary
laws with full explanations. It is the province of the
representatives of the people to deliberate upon the
general interests, in which are vested the surest
guarantee for the development of the intellectual and
material interests of Austria. Therefore, Gentlemen,
his Majesty charges me to salute you in his name, as
well as the whole nation, and to give you assurances
of his cordial good-will. The Constituent Assembly
is opened,"
Lieutenant-Colonel PROKESCH has been named
Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry and the
REGENT have written to Inspruck, to request the
EMPEROR to return to Vienna.

THE POTATO CROP IN THE ISLE OF WlGHT.—Serious
reports of the disease are in circulation, but we hope the
bad-appearance of the haulm has been much increased
" by the heavy rains and gales. Very few of the tubers
are at present injured, and as fine weather has now set
.in, we have reason to hope that a greater quantity of
• 'potatoes will be grown in the island this year than in
any former one, nud this would be the case even should
one-sixth of the whole crop be lost, so great is the quen
thy planted. Barometer 29.77.

tion he had a short time ago put to his Noble Colleague,

Mr. STAFFORD said this Bill was of the greatest
importance to his English constituents, and he could not
adopt the advice of the Noble Lord at the head of the
Government to return to Ireland until it had been dis-
posed of.

intended to proceed with the Bill this session, but ho
could not say when.—(Hear, hear.)

LATEST FROM IRELAND.

REWARD FOR THE APPREHENSION OF
SMITH O'BRIEN, AIEAGHER, DOHENY,
AND DILLON.
We are happy to learn that, by the latest
news received from Ireland this day, there is
every prospect that the portentous storm of re-
bellion will pass over harmless, if not quietly, as
previous apprehension. The ac-
compared with
counts from Dublin by Liverpool, and from
Waterford by way of Bristol, do not as yet an-
nounce any breach of the peace, and we sincerely
hope that the extraordinary demonstration
made by the Government may have the effect
of overawing the turbulent and re-assuring the
well-disposed.
It will be seen that the Earl of CLARENDON is
acting promptly as well as vigorously. A reward of
fire hundred pounds has been offered for the appre-
hension of Mr. SMITH O'BRlEN—three hundred for
that of Mr. MEAGHER, and the same amount for the
arrest of DILLON and DOHENY. This will strike con-
sternation into the ranks of the disaffected, even if they
/Imp committed themselves to the chance of arms.
Mr. O'BRIEN is now a doomed man, and
must either abide the arbitrement of battle
with a rope round his neck, if he sur-
vive, or fly his country, to avoid the ignominy
of capture with its certain results. For his own
sake, and that of his deluded followers, we trust
he will make discretion the better part of valour,
and save the lives of thousands while there is yet
hope.
With respect to the late disgraceful attempts to
mislead the public by means of the Electric Tele-
graph, we think the Government possess a ready
means of preventing the repetition of such infamous
maims:lyres, by having telegraphic communications
of their own direct from Dublin, and that in the
space of an hour or two !
It will be seen that last night Mr. MACKINNON
asked the Government whether it was their inten-
tion to take steps to prevent the dissemination of
false news by electric telegraph, to which Sir GEORGE
Gamy replied, that it was absolutely impossible to do
50! Certainly, we see no possibility to prevent
people from circulating false reports among their
neighbours, but there is no impossibility whatever in
preventing such things being done by regularly
constituted authorities, such as the Electric Tele-
graph Company. It is true the company may he im-
posed on for a moment, as on the late occasion, but the
mischief could have been easily obviated by authentic
news derived from Dublin by means of Government
agency. We perceive Sir GEORGE GREY mentioned
the expense of employing the telegraph for a week
in April last as an obstacle to the prevention of
disseminating false rumours ! This is surely
false economy, in a case like the present
condition of Ireland. What paltry saving of

Professor on his election to his chair was the legal one.
The LORD-ADVOCATE said he had received no

RUMOURS.

Humour is busy all this day in Cork, says the Cork
Examiner. Nothing is spoken of but bundles of war-
rants, and the certainty of their speedy execution. So
much for this city.
But a rumour is circulated in town, which we have
heard justified by an appeal to a " private letter," the
purport of which is, that one of the prominent leaders of
the movement has addressed a letter to a friend in this
city, dated—" Camp, outside Carrick-on-Suir."
Another rumour is—that a letter has been written by
the same party, dated " Cashel."
Nothing has appeared in the Kilkenny or Clonmel
papers
" camp"tcis justifylileyl any apprehension that the phrase
to convey. We give elsewhere the
only extracts worthy of notice. Had anything occurred,
we should be likely to receive some intimation of it
through our correspondents. But we have no letters of
importance.

VENICE.

The noble hall of the palace of St. MARK was the
theatre of an event on the 4th instant, which, apart
from its intrinsic political importance, is worthy of
record as a vestige of the bygone glories of the Ve-
netian Republic. The incorporation of Venice with
Piedmont was solemnly declared, and MANIN, the
elect of the people—their President, though not their
Doge—rose to address them, for the last time as a
Republic amidst death-like silence.
"Friends (said Mania), I address you as a simple de-
puty, and not as a minister. I still advocate the same
opinions I professed on the 22d March, when I pro-
claimed the Republic in the Arsenal and on the Place
of St. Mark.—(Marks of applause and dissent.) Another
eventful moment has arrived, the enemy is at
our gates, they seek our disunion. One faction must
give in. Therefore do I now appeal to my faction, that
of the high-minded Republicans, I demand an
immense sacrifice of you. Think not whether you be
Republicans or Royalists—let us rather be Italians.—
(Long and tremendous applause.) All that has been
done, and is now doing, is only provisional.—(Applause.)
The future is our own.—(Loud applause.) A definite
decision will come from the Assembly at Rome."
At these last words the applause of the Assembly
knew no bounds. The deputies surrounded Malvisi,
embraced him, shook him by the hand, and testified
by every means in their power the admiration they
felt for the noble-minded man, who did not hesitate to
sacrifice his opinions and his interests for the welfare
of his country. The scene was too much for him ;
he turned pale, staggered, and fell, and was carried
senseless in triumph out of the hall, amidst deafening
cheers.
Minister CASTELLI then ascended the tribune, and
exclaimed—" Fellow-citizens, from this moment Ve-
nice is saved !"
The adhesion of Venice to Lombardy, in the an-
nexation to Sardinia, was then solemnly declared.
Piedmontese troops are quartered in Venice.

LIVERPOOL.

(From the Second Edition of the Liverpool Journal

of this thy.)

It is rumoured that last night the Mayor and
magistrates came to the conclusion that it was neces-
sary to take the more dangerous of the Liverpool
demagogues into custody, and in pursuance of this
decision a warrant was made out for the arrest of
Dr. Reynolds, and an officer dispatched therewith to
Birmingham, to which town this individual was
known to have fled. Our information does not state
if the arrest has been effected.

On the motion of Mr. MASTERIVIAN, it was ordered
that this Bill be read a second time, notwithstanding
that three clear days have not elapsed since the first
reading of the said Bill, provided that the breviate shall
be laid upon the table not later than the day previous to
such second reading.

THE LONDON CHARTISTS.

We have been informed that warrants have been
issued this morning to arrest several of the London
Chartist leaders. We forbear to mention names, as
the parties are not yet in custody.

SUICIDE OF A POLICE SERGEANT.—This morning
Sergeant I'arnell, No. 5 of the M division, put an end
to his existence at his residence in the Southwark-
Bridge-road, by hanging himself. The deceased was
assaulted during the Chartist riots, when he received a
violent blow on his head, which produced erysipelas, and
for some days past he has been in a state of delirium.
Last night he went to bed apparently much better, but
about three o'clock his wife missed him from her side.
She instantly got out of bed and proceeded down
stairs, when she perceived her husband suspended by
the neck to a beam in the kitchen quite dead. The de-
ceased was a very active officer, and his loss is much
regretted by the whole division.
RAILWAY SPBED.—The limitation of railway speed,
then, is not to be found in the width of gauge, but in
other and different considerations, such as the strains to
which it is prudent to submit materials—the same on
every gauge—the local features of the railway (as its
gradients, curves, &c.), the comparative freedom or
otherwise of the line from trains (such as goods and
mineral trains) necessarily travelling at low speeds.
Thus, on the London and South-Western, a narrow
gauge railway, the express trains have, during the last
twelve months, been travelling at a higher rate of speed
(by 11 mile per hour) than those of the Great Western
Railway from London to Exeter on the broad gauge.—
