ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 12th states, that two of
the individuals condemned by court-martial for
attacks on the French soldiers, bad been shot that
morning. Their names were SARMONEI and SAVINI.
The Conservatore, of Florence, quotes a letter
from Llthorn of the 9th, giving the particulars of
the domiciliary visit which we mentioned as having
taken taken place at a villa near the Condotti, inha-
bited by the family of the late Lord ALDBOROUGH.
Notwithstanding the precautions taken, a person at-
tempted to escape over the garden wall, but was ar-
rested, and was at once idenified as a native of
Lucca, who had formerly served in the police corps.
Tile inmates of the villa being summoned to open
the doors in the name of the law, they answered
that the house was inhabited by English sub-
jects, and consequently inviolable. A long parley
ensued, after which the authorities, suspecting
that advantage was taken of the delay to burn papers
and othFr articles, ordered the doors to he broken
open, and a similar question had to be repeated up
stairs, where they found a door secured with iron
bars ; two persons were arrested in the act of burning
a mass of papers. 'rile police found, besides a
voluminous correspondence in English, a complete set
of printing materials, several clandestine publications
printed on the premises, and a quantity of arms.
The three sons of Lord ALDBOROUGH, and the indivi-
dual who had attempted t, escape, were arrested and
secured in the Fortezza Vecchia. The articles seized
were put into two chests, and sealed up in the pre-
sence of the British consul. Fourteen persons more,
connected with this affair, have been since arrested.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
Yesterday 0,769 persons visited the Crystal Palace, and
the sum taken in shillings at the doors was 2,8511. 195.: so
much for fine weather and the increasing popularity of the
World's Fair. Notwithstanding the immense concourse of
people no inconvenience was experienced, and the utmost
order and good temper prevailed. The capabilities of the
building still remain untested, and there remains no doubt
that a large increase of spectators can be fairly accommo-
dated within its vast area. It is found that the tide of
visitors begins to ebb shortly after mid-day, and that thus
room is made for the arrivals that take place during the af-
ternoon.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert resumed their inspection of
the machinery department and their personal interviews with
exhibitors yesterday morning. They were attended, as
usual, by the acting members of the Executive Committee
and by Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Hensman. The first class
of objects which attracted their attention were the
machines for the manufacture of wood, and under this
head the models of the apparatus for cutting
curved timber, the sash-bar machinery used in the progress
of the building, and the morticing machines of Furness were
particularly noticed. The hand printing presses were
minutely examined, and especially that exhibited by Ran-
some and May, of Ipswich, which inks itself. Th. Royal
party paid much attention to the mechanism for makingl
type by pressure instea of casting them according to
fashion. They inspected the machine shown by-- Under-
wood for lithographic printing in colours. The display of
sugar• mills, including the gigantic contribution of Messrs.
Robinson and Ru-sell, attracted much notice, and is ex-
tremely interesting as showing the ready way in which
when an interest is oppressed, or the labour on which it de-
pends is disorganized, the mechanical genius of the country
ruhes in to the rescue. An ingenious cigarette machine ex•
hibi!ed by Mr. Adomo was examinedeb by the royal party.
They also inspected the M
mills, the illustrative models essing presses, the flour
the Prenehof steam-
weighing machines,engines, a variety of
chocolate, an ingenious means fmoracmhiankeiriigflarmnri-nsuhtattau,rttge

linseed press(a very important invention)
machinery, Phillip'. fire k
re annihilator, and Black s se
and effective, the,pap,erry-csuimttipw
mechanism for folding paper. In the survey of
these and many ether interesting objects more than two
hours were occupied, and the illustrious visitors took their
departure about half-past eleven o'clock, having concluded a
very minute survey of the department of machinery in mo-
tion, the most imortant in the Exhibition, not only as
affectinz the industry and proaperity of England, but that of
the world at large. The numerous contributors to this great
section are much pleased and flattered by the condescension
and urbanity with which the Queen and Prince received them.
Yesterday the first attempt at the formation of a system
of guides to the interior was successfully, made, and we re-
commend parties who are anxious to avail themselves of the
facilities thus offered at a very reasonable rate to the public to
find out on entering the building the lecture-rooms, behind
Turkey, on the north side of the transept, and there to ask
for Mr. Nasmyth, or the person who may be in attendance
on his behalf.
The only other incident that occurred during the day worth
mentioning was the passage of a balloon over the building,,
at EO short a distance above it that the guide-line dangledalong the roof, and for a moment, °I

The tital number of visitors was very nearly 65,00.0-
3,000 more than the greatest day previously known.
The numbers during the eight hours up to six eclock
were as follows :
First hour, 10 to 11 o'clock ..... 17,373
Second hour, 11 to 12
Third hour, 12 to 1 • 10,579

At which hour otal

building was 5 i,788.
Even at this hour arrivals had uot entirely ceased, though
departures vastly preponderated. The visitors were mostly
of the middle class, though there were a good many of the
working classes, and some in smock fucks and corduroys.
Throughout the day the building was uot more crowded
than it has been (in the centre at least) on season ticket
days— the visitors on shilling days being. as we have often
observed, more equally diffused and distributed all over the
building.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The two great Italian theatres have, for several
given, each of them, a series of concerts, on a gre:%,----a-je.""
and employing the whole strength of their respective estab-
lishments. The first of these was given yesterday morning
at her Majesty's Theatre, and consisted of a profusior
vocal pieces, divided into three parts, each prefaced by an
overture. These pieces were chiefly from Italian operas;
the singers being Sontag, Cruvelli, Caroline Duprez, G
Fiorenti' i, Ida Bertrand, Calzolari, Sims Reeves, Gardoni,
Massol, Coletti, Lablache, sen. and jun., and several others.
Among the most remarkable things were the little Moorish
air, "Ja suis una fille Maure," in Balfe's French opera,
" L'Etoile de Seville," sung by Mdlle. Duprez. The quartet
from Weber's ," Oberon." " Over the dark blue water,' sung
with Italian words by Giuliani, Ida Bertrand, Sims Reeves,
and Balanchi ; M ,zart's quintet, " Lento, oh Dio," front
" Cosi fan tutte," sung by Mademoiselle Duprez, Giuliani,
Pardini, and the two Lablaches; the trio from the " Matri-
'north) Segreto," sung by Sontag, Caroline Duprez, and Ida
Bertrand ; and Dr. Arne's famous old bravura, a 'lhe soldier
tired," sung by Sontag with remarkable clearness and bril-
liancy. There were two or three pieces of sacred music.,

singers was Sivori, who played a concerto by Paganini, and
that great performer's famous " Witches' Dance," which he
made so popular in this country twenty years ago. They
have never been played till now byany one but Paganint..
himself, and no one is so well qualified to revive them as nut
favourite pupil.
A concert of this kind is very attractive, as it enables
visitors to the metropolis to hear a great v, arie ty of the
favourite opera music of the day, sung by the greatest
formers, and at a comparatively low rate of admission.

theatre, consequently, was quite full.

REMINISCENCES OF THE MANCHESTER MEET_
ING, WITH THE NEWTON, BIBURY, STOCK,
BRIDGE, AND WINCHESTER BILLS OF FARE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—My remarks on the Manchester races were realised
in the majority of instances by the running. I observed in
Note No. 63, that " The Prime Minister's once magical
cognomination ought to bead the others in the 'return lists,'
and what is more, will, if they choose to run him." He
won the Produce Sokes very easily from Ringleader, Pal-
mere?, Constellation ( !), and Apia; and despite the preju-
dice entertained against him for the St. Leger distance,
may yet prove that lie posSesses a good outside chance for
that event. The Black Doctor cantered home an easy
victor for the Biennial stakes. For the Union Cup I selected
Woolwich, who was sixth, and Champion, who passed the
post a good third to Oxford Blue, 4 yrs. 6st, and Alonzo,
4 yrs, 7st 101 b, as my especial fancits; they were, however,
unable
on ,their merits to beat two out of their eighteen
fists. In the race for the Two Years Old Stakes, the
Bro er to Shylock and Paddy Bird reversed the positions
)tv A Ilild awarded then ; the latter winning by half a neck from
lligh Sheriff; and t ew's brother being beaten three parts
of a length from the inner. My judgment was altogether
on the wrong scent for the Manchester Cup, which Paquette,
3 yrs;-,45t, wen very cleverly by a length from the Black
D§clllo. 3 yrs,' Est llb ; but it was rendered victorious
411' the spin for the Five Sovs.s ,Handicap, by the easy
triumph of Le Juif ; and doubly so en, the follow-
ing,day by the difficult win of Alonzo, 4 yrs, 7st 51b, over
PaqUette, 3 yrs, sst (the couple whom Thud sele ted to fill
the two,' first
,Places) ,by half a head! A field of ight, in-
cßiding:Haricot, 4 yrs, i's, 21b, Chiequstice, 4 yrs, 7st 2lb
and Qxford Blue, 4 yrs, 6st 111 b, succhabing early in the
race. From the past I ipow turn to the future. I\ otwith-
stantikg the rather large amount of public money given for
, .
com etition at

the ackeptances for the various stakes are very inferior, which
is,'perisdps, awing to the bad tact of the management in allow-
ing thejneeting to clash with several of the southerns. It corn.
mences to-morrow, and extends over three days. The Newton
Gold Cup, out of an acceptance of seven, may possibly have
fourstarters—CH ANTHEYS yrs, 7st (who oughtto be the win-
ner), AchyraLthes, 4 yrs, 6st:Blb, Duxburv, 4 yrs, 6st Sib, and
Abbess of Jervaux, 4 vrs, List. Lady Evelyn, Langton, and
Caurire are the other three; one of them may go. but I hold
it to be very dubious. Should the MOUNTAIN FLOWER go
fur thc, Golborne Stakes, she must be my winner; atter her
the Sister to Pyrrhus the First and Little Davie look most
attractive. The Newton St. Leger would fall to the Sister to
Wanota, if up to the mark ; otherwi-e he L.araway colt
will " bear away the bell ;" Brenda and Worcester stand
next in my estimation. The Borough Cup will be contested
by Achyranthes, I3ro n Fly, and Candlewick ; perchance they
may pass the post as I have placed them. Among the en-
tries for the 1(.0 Sovs. Handicap will be found Oxford Blue, 4
yrs, 7st 31h, Le Juif, 3 yrs, Est 121 b, Ringleader, 3 yrs. 6st 31b,
Unity, 3 yrs, sst 121 b, and Lady Speedy, 4 yrs, sst bib Of
course this quintette includes the winner's name, which with
a start, I should say would be I.7:,ity or Ringleader; the
former for choice. After these commend me to Oxford Blue,
Le Juif well up. Having disposed of Newton, what ho! let
BIBURY

appear. Tbis meeting has six events on papa-, three of
which have clo,ed. The Champagne Stakes will probably
be contested by Singleton Lad, Lunette, Aitch Bone, and
Ithinegrave; all dark as Erebus, not one single ray of light,
public or private. Lunette i • said to be a good thing for this
stake, but I feel inclined to patronise the Aitch Bone, with
the Rhinegrave: for an attendant. The Bibury Stakes, a
canter for Guardsman. The Produce Stakes, I fancy, will
be won by the ENTERPRISE COLT, the Knight of the Thistle
and Antigone filling the second and third places. I remarked
on the three crack events of the
meetin on Friday STOCK BRIDGE'
g , so merely have to observe that my
opinion remains unaltered. CARIB'o, Bst 12th, to win the
First Triennial, and Bee Hunter, Bst 1011), to be second.
LAMARTINE, Bst 10r), to win the Second Triennial, Phlege-
thon or Glenbawk second. Payment will not start. Ira-
cundus, The Knight of the Thistle, Catalpa, Ennis, and one
of the Goodwood 'mares, may help to swell the field. Kings-
ton, lately known as the Queen Anne colt, is reported to be
a certainty for the Third Triennial; I am not of that
opinion; the Goodwood horse shall have my loose cash on.
the day. A large field, probably e:even or twelve will start.
Now for the last of the southern " meets" this week, which
will take place at
WINCHESTER

.• __. ____
on Friday next
and
Saturday. Should Cheerful run for the
Original Hampshire Stakes she will win ; but, with her
Goodwood engagement staring her in the face, I have some
doubts on the point; consequently, in self-defence, shall look
to the light weights for a winner. The 50 Sovs. Stakes on
paper read well for the Epirus and Slane colts. Canterbury
or Harbinger, if the Goodwood authorities think it worth
their while to start either. will be first past the post for the
Winchester Triennial. Catalpa, I presume, will win the
Foal, and Buckthorn the Twp Years Old Stakes. The
Winchester Stakes, in the absence of The Moor, will, in all
probability-, be won by Simplicity or Epira, with Slashing
Alice close up.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
