no objection was made against Aladdin before he ran
or the Newton Handicap, although the stakes will go
to Van Dunch, the bets will go to Aladdin, to whom
they were then paid. As this question is of the utmost
importance in the betting world, and that such a diffe-
rence of opinion exists upon it, we have taken the trou-
ble to examine the laws of racing tbat bear upon the
subject, also the opinion of the Hon. Admiral Rous, as
published in his book, " On the Laws and Practice of
Horse Racing, in 1850." And notwithstanding that
large sums of money are pending upon it, and that great
difficulty will no doubt be experienced by many persons
who, if it should be settled that the bets must be paid to
Van Dunck, in obtaining the money from persons who
have received for Aladdin, we shall deal with the ques-
tion regardless of its results, and, as far as we can, shall
lay the matter in a clear comprehensive form before our
readers. The Hon. Admiral Rous, in his book, page 98,
in cnamencing his remarks on betting, says :—" In horse
racing the interests of the stakes, and of bets made there-
upon, are inseparable, excepting when the winning
horse is disqualified owing to a default in making stakes,
and this is the only exception to the general rule." By
this statement it would appear that bets will assuredly
go with the stakes if paid to Van Dunck, Aladdin not
being disqualified, " owing to a default in making
stakes." In rules and orders of the Jockey Club, law
111, it says :—" In case any objection to the qualification
of a horse on the ground of incorrect pedigree or nonsina-

Lion is made before the race is run, the stewards shall
have the power of ordering that the settlement on such
rags shall be suspended; but if any such objection be made
after the race, it shall not affect the bets, which must go
with the horse that comes in first, provided that be is
of the right age and not disqualified by the laws of rac-
ing." This is the law upon which the argument in
favour of bets being paid to Aladdin and the stakes to
Van Dunck rests ; but, in our opinion, it does not apply
to the case in question. The horse that was entered for
the Newton Handicap, described as "late Go-away, by
Harkaway, out of Ukraine," although in existence, did
not start for that race; consequently, the backers of that
horse had no race for their money. A horse did start,
which was never entered, and has since been proved to
be by Harkaway out of Gretna; therefore, as Van Dunck
was the first horse in the race that passed the judge, we
think he must be the winner ; and, further, there is no ob-
jectien against Aladdin being of wrong pedigree, or being
wrongly mounted, but he is not the horse entered, as we
have previously described. This is a parallel to the
notorious Running Rein case, for the Epsom Derby, of
1844, where a horse called Maccabeus was substituted
for Running Rein, and came in first.
The stakes and bets were, however, awarded to
Orlando, who came in second, Running Rein not having
started, and no such horse as Maccabeus being entered
for the race. The following case may be found at page
112 in the Hon. Admiral Rous's book, and few will deny
him the reputation of being the highest authority upon
the " turf":—" A takes 50 gs. to 10 gs. of B that his
horse wins a sweepstake. His horse is second in run-
ning, but proving the horse that beat him was not qua-
lified, he received the sweepstake from the person whose
horse came in first. Q. Is A entitled to win his bet ?
A. The stewards of the Jockey Club are of opinion that
the horse which came in second, and to whom the sweep-
stake was given up, on proof that the first horse was
disqualified, must be deemed the winner, and conse-
quently B loses 50 gs." This is also a parallel case to
the one in question.

MARKET NEWS.—(Phis Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with all
kinds of English wheat. For most descriptions we had a
slow inquiry; nevertheless, parties were firmer in their
demands than on Monday, and that day's prices were sup-
ported.

_
The imports of foreign wheat are 7,360 quarters, abiefiy
from the Baltic. The amount of business doing was
limited, at the late decline in value.
Fine barley was scarcer, and held at full quotations.
Inferior parcels, including malt, met a very slow sale. _ _

.. _
The show of oats was limited, and the oat trade ruled
firm. Fine samples were rather dearer.
Beans, peas, and flour were in moderate request, at Mon-
day's quotations.

Spirit of the Public JournaL%

(From, the Daily News of this day.)
A bias has of late been given to the foreign policy
of the French Government, which is of a nature to
excite grave apprehensions for the future. The I
threats addressed by Count Wale wski to the Bel-
gian
Government in the Conferences of Paris
awakened the indignation of every Liberal in .
Europe. About the same time there were dis-
quieting
rumours in circulation, of overtures made
by the French Emperor to leading statesmen, both
in Spain and Piedmont, with a view to induce
them to attempt coups d'etat in their respective
countries. In so for as Piedmont was concerned,
public opinion was reassured by the explicit decla-
ration of Count Cavour to the Sardinian Legisla-
ture that no such proposal had been made to him
at the Congress. Still there were some not indis-
posed to attach credence to the statement that such
proposals might have been made but for the
Count's reply to a fishing question of the Emperor.
It was said that his Majesty had, in the course of
conversation, asked the Count, in an off-band man-
ner, what would be thought in Sardinia of a Con-
cordat like that which Austria had just concluded
with Rome ? The answer was said to have been,
that a Concordat like that of 1801 would be pre-
ferred. We give the anecdote for what it is worth,
without vouching for the truth of it. With regard
to Spain, however, the haste to confer the order of
the Legion of Honour upon O'Donnell, immedi-
ately after his successful coup d'etat, has not un-
naturally recalled to men's recollection the sus-
picions entertained months ago that the Cabinet of
the Tuileries was intriguing against Espartero at
Madrid. It is impossible not to associate with this
Imperial sanction of the O'Donnell usurpation the
unfair manner in which the French Government
is at present holding the balance between Austria
and Sardinia. The Austrian newspapers are
allowed to denounce the internal policy of Sar-
dinia as not to be tolerated by neighbouring
despotisms ; the Austrian Government, by its
sequestration of the property of Sardinian subjects
in Lombardy, has de facto declared war against
Sardinia ; threatening corps d'armee are being as•
sembled by Austria on the Sardinian frontier, and
Austria is fortifying Pola, and strengthening the
fortifications of Ancona, as if that place were to be
made a tete de pont to confirm her hold upon Italy.
In the faoe of these menaces Sardinia is necessarily
driven to make preparations for defence. The
Sardinian Government has decreed the fortification
of Alessan.dria ; and the Sardinian people have
commenced a suscription to purchase guns for the
fortress. A number of Italians resident in foreign
countries are desirous of co-operating with their
countrymen in Piedmont in this patriotic work ;
and to facilitate the realisation of their wishes, M.
Manin has announced that heis prepared to under-
take the task of collecting subscriptions in Paris.
Hereupon, the Austrian Minister calls upon the ,
French Government to stop M. Manin's proceed-
ings, and is informed in answer that they have al-
ready stopped them. There was no obligation on
the French Government thus to anticipate the
wishes of Austria. The object of the subscription
proposed by M. Manin was simply to aid Sardinia
in preparing to defend herself if attacked by Aus-
tria. Sardinia and Austria are not now at war ;
there can be no good reason for the French Govern-
ment's refusing to allow munitions of war to be
purchased in France and exported to Piedmont.
It is not for a moment to be imagined that the
French Government is afraid of Austria, and there-
fore the only reason that can be assigned for its
interfering to impede the defensive prepara-
tions of Sardinia is that it sympathises, and is pre-
pared to take part with Austria, if she succeeds in
fixing a quarrel upon Sardinia. In addition to
this declaration in favour of the despotic powers,
the Imperial Government is now broadly accused
of having abetted a conspiracy on the part of the
Prussian Governmenteto wrest from the Helvetic
League, by force of arms, the district of Neufcha-
tel, which, since, 1848, has been recognised as in-
corporated into the League. But perhaps the most
revolting indication of the disposition of the French
Government to become the accomplice, or tool, of
the Despotic Powers, is its lawless and unmerciful
treatment of the Italian exiles, who have occasion
to pass through France on their way to England.
If Napoleon 111. persists in the policy which the
acts now recapitulated warrant a belief that he has
adopted, it is impossible the entente cordiale be-
tween the French and English Governments can
long continue. The rupture of this good under-
standing would of itself afford matter for regret.
The intimate alliance of the French and English
Governments has been based upon the principles
to assert which they conjointly took up arms in
behalf of Turkey and against Russia. We have
never built undue expectations upon that alliance.
We never expected that the Government of the
soup d'etat of the 2d December would sincerely co-
operate with England to promote free institutions
in Europe. But wo saw that so long as the alliance
continued, the French Government, like our own,
was pledged to uphold the right of nations to re-
gulate their domestic concerns free from foreign in-
terference. If the French Government deserts that
principle, the English Government must in future
coo 4 alono, and the cause clf national independence
in Europe will have received a severe shock. This
will be one great evil resulting from the apostasy
of the French Government, and the weakening of
that good understanding which has so closely allied
it with our own. But a far worse evil will be the
peril to which the entente cordiale of the French
and English nations will thereby be exposed. A
thoroughly good understanding between the
peoples of France and England is of infinitely more
consequence to humanity than mere friendly rela-
tions between their Governments. Such a good
understanding has of late years made rapid pro-
gress ; but it has not yet been matured to such
an extent as to render it unassailable by misunder-
standings between the Governments. A few more
years of increased and increasing intimacy of con-
nection in industrial and commercial enterprise,
and in social intercourse, would have assimilated
the populations on both sides of the Channel to v.
degree that would have rendered it independent of
the waywardness and self-will of governments.
But at present hostility and rivalry between the
French and English Governments may still have
the power to sow discord and dissension between
the English and French peoples. Unfortunately,
priestly rancour is at this moment co-operating
with Imperial egotism to alienate the French
nation from the English. Of late years great
numbers of English children have been educate,'
in French seminaries. This was a powerful en-
gine for obliterating national prejudices. But a
priestly conspiracy, of which the contemptible
machinations of the Bishop of Arras are only the
first fruits, is busily at work to destroy the con-
ciliating influence.
It is for the peoples of France and England to
declare that, let their Governments adopt what
policy they may, the nations will remain cordial
and faithful friends. The entente cordiale of the
French and English peoples is a guarantee for the
prosperity of both ; and it is at the same time the
only sheet-anchor of the party of enlightenment
and progress in Europe. France and England have
evidently been called by Providence to undertake
the proud task of protecting and promoting the
cause of progress and of civilisation. Their discord
would threaten that cause with destruction. To
our own countrymen we especially address our-
selves. The more the policy of the French Govern-
ment becomes intolerable, the more should Eng-
lishmen exert themselves to demonstrate to the
French people that they can distinguish between
them and their Government. Englishmen have
occasionally neglected this distinction in their sin-
cere but unreasoning eagerness to conciliate. the
French people. They have injudiciously appeared
to take a part in the internal dissensions of France
—to become pat tisans of Napoleon 111. against his
French political adversaries. This is a sad mistake.
So long as Napoleon 111. retains his power, he
entitled to deference and respectful treatment at
our hands as the representative of the French na-
tion ; but this deference and respect are die not to
his personal but to his official character. If the
will of the French people were to substitute an-
other government in lieu of his dynasty to-morrow,
it would be equally entitled to our respect and
deference.

(prong the Morning Herald of this day.)
It has long been admitted as a fact beyond con-
troversy that the genius of the Irish people is
essentially military. Our own countrymen make
indomitable soldiers, and have exhibited, amid the
storm of battle, a coolness and resolution which
have attracted the admiration of the world. The
Scotch are traditionally brave, and possess a capacity
of endurance peculiar to themselves ; and in Scot-
land is to be found in abundance the stuff of which
true soldiers are made. But the natural aptitude
of the Irish for the profession of arms is as well
known as are certain other characteristics less to
be prized, and which have given—in days now
happily passed away—tg, the fairest portion of
the United Kingdom a notoriety by no means de-
sirable. Ireland has, however, entered upon a new
epoch in her eventful history, and while her sons
retain all that chivalrous ardour and that warmth.
of temperament which have half-redeemed then
follies, they have learned, from a long and sad ex-
perielice, the consequences of those follies, 9.11 d
afford constant and continual proof that the stern
teaching of adversity has not been lost upon them;.
in a word, that the warm-hearted and high-sp.mt.N.l
nation which in war supplies our most brilliant
soldiers, is steadily advancing in the arts of peace,
and devoting its fineenergies to those pursuits which
conduce to national greatness and stability. It
