The spectators had scarcely assembled on the course when
the numbers of the starters—twenty-two—were displayed
on the telegraph board, Charlton being the last to weigh,
and only having just time to get down to the starting-post.
No delay occurred in drawing the horses together. They
soon fell in, and were dispatched on capital terms. They
stretched in a long line nearly side by side across the flat,
and it was impossible for the people at the cords, even with
the most powerful glasses, to distinguish which animals had
the advantage. On nearing the Bushes the ranks began to
break, and in front were seen Gibraltar, Athos, Man-at-
Arms, and Remunerator, with four or five others close up at
their heels. A second division was formed, at the head of
which Confectioner, Jason, and 'Mdlle. de Charitilly, and in
the extreme rear, separated from the ruck by several lengths,
were Gamester, Newcastle, Simple Simon, Precursor, and
Mazzini. On nearing the New Stand Confectioner bore his
colours more prominently to the fore, and held a clear lead
round tho tufa of the lands, with Mau-at-Arms second and
Remunerator third. 'The race admits scarcely of further
description, for Confectioner was never afterwards caught,
and his jockey being scarcely able to hold him, he swerved
right across the course to the left, and won by four lengths;
the second beating the third by three lengths; Clydesdale
was fourth ; Cock-a-Hoop, Gibraltar, Simple Simon, Flash-
in-the -Pan, and May Morning were next scattered. The last
lot comprised ;Mlle. de Chantilly, Luff, Sam Spode, and
Gamester, who was beaten off.

TILO POPE A ATI) TILE KIM; OF
SAP n I ~17 A.

At present the new Palliament of Turin is
simply engaged in the preliminary work of verX-
cation des pouroirs. But on the 6th these dry and
formal proceedings were enlivened by the sudden
uprising of Garibaldi, member for Nice, who
wished to put a question to Count Cavour, on
the Savoy business of course. The scene is thus
described :
" It was four o'clock when Count Cavour tools
his scat on the Ministerial bench, under the gang-
way of the house, which was languidly discussing
the election of a worthy professor, Signor 80, one
of the members for Genoa. At that moment a
distinct voice was heard. It was that of General
Garibaldi, who had asked leave to speak. The
voice of the General at once hushed the house to
the deepest silence. Garibaldi, having obtained
leave to speak, said he wanted to put a question to
the President of the Council upon a matter of the
deepest importance. It was easy to understand
that the illustrious member for Nice wished to bring
on a debate upon the grave question of the annexa-
tion of that town to France. Count Cavour, who
was perhaps taken aback, saw at once that to accept
a discussion upon this delicate matter would be to
put in jeopardy the solution of an affair on which
depends the future destiny of Italy. Ho therefore
rose with a gesture of disapproval, and in firm and
rather sharp ianguage told the house that he would
not answer the question, because the verification des
pouvoirs being not yet fully accomplished, members
of Parliament had no right to address questions to
the advisers of the Crown. He added that all the
precedents of the house sanctioned this constitu-
tional principle, and that it would be to infringe
the most obvious rules of legislative assemblies to
allow one of its members to follow such a course.
At that moment Signor Laurenti Robaldi, another
member for Nice, rose from his seat, and with a
voice full of emotion, told the house that his illus-
trious colleague wanted to have some explanation
upon a point which was of the utmost importance.
' What would the house say,' added Signor Lau-
renti, 'if the Austrians were on the point of at-
tacking us ? The question which my illustrious
friend wanted to put to the President is of equal
moment.' It would be difficult for me to give you
an idea of the effect produced by these words, and
of the tumult that followed them. Signor Mel
lana urged upon the house to allow General Gari

A b'CB'NL IN THE _ITALIAN PA _E-
LIA MEM'.

A letter dated Turin,. April 7, rays :—For nearly
a month past the press of Europe has spoken from
time to time of an exchange of letters between the
Pope and King Victor Emmary:el, Several journals
have pretended to give the exact text of the corres-
pondence. A_German paper did publish something
approximately true, and a portion, though imper-
fect, was published in the (eerier du Dimmiche.

Now, as the letter which it is most important that
we should be accurately acquainted with is the
Pope's answer, explaining, as it does in part,
what he has since done, and showing, as it does at
the same time, that Victor Emmanuel was informed
of the Pope's intentions, but notwithstanding held
his own good right and convenience to be para-
mount, I think you will be glad to see an exact
copy of that letter. I can guarantee its authenticity,
and an undoubted proof of this will be given by the
publication of the three letters, together with the
• narrative of the Rev. M. Stellardi, who was the
King's special messenger to the'Pope.
" Majesty—The idea that your Majesty has
thought of manifesting to me is not a wise idea, and
certainly not worthy of .a Catholic king, and of a
king of the house of Savoy. My answer is already
consigned for publication in the encyclical letter to
the Catholic episcopacy, which you may easily
read.

" For the rest I am most afflicted, not for myself,
but for the unhappy stite of your Majesty's soul,
which is implicated ( illaqueata ) in the censures,
and in those that will more greatly inculpate it after
the consummation of the sacrilegious act which you,
together with those around you, have the intention
of performing.
" I pray the Lord with all my heart that He may
enlighten you, and give you grace to know and
lament both the scandals occasioned and the very
grievous evils brought by your co-operation on this
poor Italy.
" From the Vatican, this 14th of Feb., 1860.
"Pius, POPE, IX."

I make no comments on this letter, in which there
is not an elevated thought, and in which the name
of Italy is coupled with an epithet no longer quite
so pertinent as two short years ago. To blame the
King of Sardinia for any evils Italy may have suf-
fered, the king who risked his life for her sake, and
who successfully liberated a goodly part of the
whole Italian land, while the Pope was having the
inhabitants of Perugia butchered, after getting Ge-
rmans and Frenchnim to shed Italian blood at Rome
and Bologna, is a marvellous piece of impudence.

rcus, that it was impossible to fellow the discus

cretaries, succeeded in making himself heard, and
proposed to the house the resumption of the forme!
discussion, since no member had the right of put-
ting questions to the Ministry till the ver(fiention
des pourrnrs had been accomplished. The House, by
an overwhelming majority, decided in favour of
Boggio's proposal, and thus put an end to the
eager and somewhat dangerous discussion."
A letter from Turin adds :

" Thus was Garibaldi foiled in his first attempt
to take up the cause of his native city. Cavour
evidently bent cn gaining time. To-day's Opinione
announces that Savoy and Nice will be called upon
to pronounce on their destinies by universal suf.-

GENERAL LAMOR ruTER E.

When it was first known to the. Emperor Napo-
leon that General Lamoriciere had listened to the
overtures from Rome tiS organise the Pontifical
army, his Majesty is said to have exclaimed, " C'cst
fi( nuts c'e6t cheralreppie !''—whether in pity for
the folly, or sympathy for the chivalry, thcy who
know how it is his Majesty's glory to make war
for an idea, and for an idea only, will decide.
When the rumours of those negotiations first got
abroad a few of the papers declared that Lamori-
ciere would, by accepting service under a foreign
Government, forfeit his rights and conditions as a
Frenchman; and they hinted that it was little
'host of treason. It was, then, of course, supposed
that the Emperor would refuse his sanction ; since
the contrary is known this dutiful portion of the
press has been silent. The objections on the loss
of citizenship could easily be answered. The Em-
peror of the French once entered the service of a
foreign State—Switzerland—the loss of whose
neutrality is, it seems, to be the retribution for her
acceptance. In the military sehools of Louisbourg
(Wurtemberg) his Imperial Highness Prince Na-
poleon first acquired the knowledge and showed
those talents for military command which were
afterwards signally displayed in the Crimea and in
th 2, memorable operations at the head of the sth
corps during the Italian campaign. These are un-
deniable facts, yet I do not believe that either the
Emperor or his cousin forfeited the character of
Frenchmen.
A little knowledge of the previous career of Gene-
ral Lamoriciere, of his position and his character,
will explain whatever may bethought strange in the
resolution which ho has adapted with reference to
he Pope. Lamoriciere is a native of Nantes; he
belongs to an old Legitimist familywho were strongly
prepossessed in favour of the elder branch of the
Bourbons, and who fought for the cause during the
wars of La Vendee. He was born in 1806, was a
pupil at the Polytechnic school in 1824 ; he two
years after entered the Ecole d'Application at Metz,
and got his commission as Second Lieutenant of

Engineers in the beginning of 1830. In the same

year he accompanied the expedition to Algiers
under Marshal Bourmont, who took the city on the
sth of July, only three weeks before the Revolution
which overthrew the throne of Charles X. Bour-
mont had hardly received his Mzrshal's staff for his
successful conduct of the expedition when he learnt
the fall of his master, and his own dismissal from
the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Army of
Africa. To Lamoriciere's honour be it said, that
though he was but then commencing his career as
soldier, he did not hesitate to testify his respect to
Ills fallen General, regardless of the consequences
to himself; he was, I believe, the only man who
Mended him to the ship that bore him to exile.
When the Duke of Orleans was proclaimed King
by a majority of the Chambers of Deputies many
officers of the army sent in their resignations, and
retired from the service. It was expected that
Lamoriciere would do the same. his love for his

profession, however, overcame his dynastic partiali-
ties, if he really had any, and he incurred the deep
displeasure of his family by continuing to sere
ander a Prince whom they looked upon as a usurper.
it was only after the lapse of 10 years, and when

Lamoriciere had already started into fame, that his
relations in the west of France would renew their

Intercourse with him.
Africa was the nursery of soldiers, and among
-he chiefs whom the campaigns had rendered illus-

trious few had a better title than LamoricierQ. His
taleSt for organisation was remarkable. Soon after

the taking of Algiers was created the corps of
Zouaves, now so well known to Europe, and La-
moriciere was named Captain in that body, to whose
formation he principally contributed. In 1833 he
was appointed Director of the first Bureau Arabe,
soon after promoted to chef de battalion, Lieutenant
Colonel in 1835, and on the taking of Constantine
in 1837 got his commission as Colonel for the
intelligence and great gallantry he displayed on
that occasion. He laid with his own hands the
powder bags to the gates of Constantine, and, the
explosion having taken place too soon,was " hoisted
with his own petard, and severely wounded. In

1839 he was recalled to Paris. He returned to
Africa the following year, and again distinguished
himself at Mongaia ; indeed he appears never to
have been present in the field without distinguish-
ing himself. In the same year he was promoted
to Major-General, in 1843 to General of Division,
in 1844 he was made Commander of the Legion of
Honour, and in 1845 Governor of Algeria par in-
terim. General Lamoriciere shared, during his stay
in Africa, in not less than 18 campaigns ; not one
of his promotions and honours but was the reward
of some expedition planned by him, or some bril-
liant exploit successfully achieved. He closed his
military career in Africa by a double success. It
was he who organised the expedition which ended
in the capture by the Duke d'Aumale of Abd-el-
ader, who was so hemmed in by Lamoriciere as to
have no resource but surrender.

It is not certain what were the political princi-
ples or preferences of Lamoriciere—probable he did
net know them himself. He acted, however, with
the Liberty party, and, towards the close of Louis
Philippe's reign, took his seat in the Chamber of
Deputies with the Dynastic Opposition ; and was
designated as Minister of War in the Thiers, Mole,
or Barrot combinations essayed by the King in his
last struggle.
In the sanguinary conflict of June, 1848, which
deluged the streets of Paris with blood, he offered
his services to his old comrade Cavaignac, then head
days he seemed to multiply himself; he was first
of the Government. Daring those terrible: htheraete-

Prince Louis Napoleon to the
Presidency Lamoriciire gave no systematic opposi-
tion to the Government, though he disapproved the
policy adopted on Italian affairs, and he continued
the consistent supporter of the Republican Consti-
tution.
At the period of the Russian interven-
tion in Hungary in 1819 he accepted a mission from
the President to the Court of St. Petersburg, where
he arrived after the submission of Hungary, and was
received by the Emperor Nicholas with the greatest
distinction. On learning the fate of the Odilon

he was comprised among the eminent
men, civilians as well as military, who were caught
by order of the new Minister of the Interior, M, de
Morny, who was then exercising the sublime voca-
arm of saving his country. Lamoriciere had the
bad taste to attempt to resist the commands of that
patriot; and his servant, who aided him in this re-
volt against M. de Morny's agents, was wounded.
Lamoriciere was overpowered by numbers, and con-
veyed to the prison of Mazes. He was quickly
transferred to the classic retreat of Ham, and thence
conducted by the police to the frontier. Being still

The bitterest pang that
could feel was on the occasion -rep d

against Russia in 1854. He -Ai padsPenaltly at-
tached to his profession, he was in the vigour of life
and. intellect, several of his old companions in arms
were going forth to win new distinctions in a war on
a grand scale, of which the. duration was uncertain,
and he, the bravest. among brave men, was left to
pine in an obscure retreat, all the " gride, pomp,
and circumstances of glorious war" passing before
his eyes, and heilat sharing in it.. It was to him a
season of great anguish. It was at this moment
that his thoughts took a devotional turn, and in the
practice of religion he sought consolation for*the
disappointment of his hopes and his noble ambi-
tion. A friend of his, a man eminent as a litfera-
emir and a politician, and who was at one time a
member of a Cabinet under Louis Philippe, calling-
upon Lamoriciere one day, found him deeply en-
gaged over some military maps and plans of the
Crimea, but. ho also observed, to his surprise,
books of religion lying open by their side on the
same table. He rallied the General on the serious
turn which he evinced, and doubted his sincerity.
Lamoriciere assured his friend that he was never
more sincere, and that religion was the great com-
fort of his life.

The thought of asking Lamoriciere's assistance in
the organisation of his army was not, I believe,
suggested by any one to the Pope : it was entirely
his own. Monsignor Merode, who was ,employed
in the negotiation, served for some time in the Bel-
gian army, and subsequently in Africa with the
French, where he was decorated with the Legion of
Honour. He visited Rome subsequently, became
an ecclesiastic, and was appointed Chamberlain by
His Holiness. - General Lainoriciere is connected by
marriage with the Merode family, and no better
negotiator could have becn selected.

As the Emperor of the French, who, perhaps,
hopes that Lamoriciere may act as a check on the
Piedmontese as well as on the subjects of the Pope,
has given permission, we may consider the General
as Commander-in-Chief of the Pontifical army. We
hear that his report is rather favourable than other-
wise; that he found good material among the men;
and that the officers are possessed of a fair amount
of theoretical knowledge on military subjects, but
of course deficient in practice. Time will show
whether he will perform the same miracle with the
Roman that Marshal Beresford did with the Por-

uguese levies. In the meantime large sums of

money have already been collected in Paris, and in
the departments, among the old Catholic families,
for the service of the Pope ; and several members

of the aristocracy are going to serve as volunteers
in his troops. Among these the Duke de Laroche-
foucauld Doudeaville gives up £1 0,000 a-year, the
half of his income, to maintain a guard of honour ;
and his son, Count Sosthenes, Duke de Bisania,
takes service in the Pontifical ranks;
