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 Chantilly, and in
the extreme rear, separated from the nick 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 the turn of the lands, with Man-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 held 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 Mdlle. de Chantilly, Luff, Sam Spode, and
Gamester, who was beaten off.

A excellent day's sport; the weather was very cold, and
snow and sunshine alternately prevailed. The company
was fully equal to the average.

WRIGHT'S RACING RECORD.—Tho April number of
this racing vade mecum has just made its appearance, and,
in addition to the "races past" of the current season, it
contains the two-year-old performances of the Derby
horses; a complete list of horses in training, and much
other useful information.

CITY AND SUBURBAN AND METROPOLITAN
HANDICAP.—Youatt Wm. Gray issued his advice on these
events on Thursday last, and is convinced, from the infor-
mation received, that nothing but accident can prevent suc-
cess. A horse named at 30 to 1 to win, and 10 to 1 for a
place at the present time, will see 8 to 1 to win, on the day
of the race, and is certain to be first, second, or third for
both events. Terms—Advice, for one week, 2s. 6d. ; to the
Chester Cup, 7s. 6d. ; to the Derby, 15s. ; to the end of the
season, £2 23., and per tentage. Address, 15, Charing-
cross, London. N.B.—Y. W. Gray stood Simple Simon
and Springwell for the Northampton Stakes.

FEARFUL FALL INTO THE SEA AT SCARBOROUGH.
—A most appalling accident (which has not terminated fa-
tally, as might have been expected) has just occurred here.
A private of a detachment of the 45th regiment, now sta-
tioned at the Castle, while walking near the edge of the
cliff in the castle yard, was either blown or fell over into the
shallow water among the rocks, the cliff rising here to the
height of 305 feet. The poor fellow's moans were heard by
the crew of a fishing boat, who pulled ashore, and found
him laid in a sad state. Ho was removed to the barracks,
where it was found he had received fractures of the ribs and
dislocation of the hip. He is of course in a precarious
state.—Manchester _Examiner.
The Mysterious Power of the Magnet is most beautifully

A letter dated Turin, April 7, says :—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 Emmanuel. 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 Courier du Dimanche.
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 sine 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 episeopacirra2which you may easily
read.

" For the rest I am most afflicted, not for myself,
but for the unhappy state 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.
"Pits, 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 pcstinent 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 Ger-
mans and Frenchmen to shed Italian blood at Roms
and Bologna, is a marvellous piece of impudence.
METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY.

At the last meeting of this society a paper was
read on "Dust Storms, Dust Columns, and the
Simoom or Poisonous Winds of India," by H. Cook,
M.D. The author remarked that there are certain
days in which, however hard and violently the wind
may blow, little or no dust accompanies it, whilst
at other times every little puff of air or current of
wind raises up and carries with it clouds of dust,
and at these times the individual particles of sand
appear in such an electrified condition that they
are even ready to repel each other, and are conse-
quently disturbed from their position and carried
into the air with the slightest current. To so great
an extent does this sometimes exist that the atmos-
phere is positively filled with dust, and when ac-
companied by a strong wind nothing is visible at a
few yards, and the sun at noonday is obscured;
This condition is evidently accumulative; it in-
creases by degrees until the climax is reached,
when, after a certain time, usually 24 hours, the at-
mosphere is cleared, and equanimity is restored.
Dust columns appear under a similar condition of
electrical disturbance or intensity. On calm quiet
days, when hardly a breath of air is stirring, and. the
sun pours down his heating rays with full force,
little circular eddies are seen to arise in the atmo-
sphere near the surface of the ground. These in-
crease in force and diameter until a column is formed
of great height and diameter, which usually remains
stationary for some time, and then sweeps away
across the country at great speed, and ultimately,
losing the velocity of its circular movement, dis-
solves and disappears. The author had seen in the
valley of Muigochav, which is only a few miles
across, and surrounded by high hills, on a day when
not a breath of air stirred, 20 of these columns ;
these seldom changed their places, or but slowly
moved across the level tract, and they never inter-
fered with each other. The author then spoke of
the simoom, that deadly wind which occasionally
visits the deserts of Catchee and Upper Scinde,
which is sudden and singularly fatal in its occur-
rence, invisible, intangible, and mysterious—its
nature alike unknown (as far as the author is
aware) to the wild and untutored inhabitant of the
country it frequents as to the European man of
science ; its effects only are visible, its presence
made manifest in the sudden extinction of life,
whether animal or vegetable, over which its influ-
ence has extended. The author gives the results
of his information respecting the simoom as fol-
lows :-1. It is sudden in its attack. 2. It is
sometimes preceded by a cold current of air. 3.
It occurs in the hot months (usually June and
July). 4. It takes place by night as well as by
day. 5. Its course is straight and defined. 6. Its
passage leaves a narrow knife-like track. 7. It
burns up or destroys the vitality of animal and
vegetable existence in its path. 8. It is attended
by a well marked sulphurous odour. 9. It is de-
scribed as being like the blast of a furnace, and the
current of air in which it passes is evidently greatly
heated. 10. It is not accompanied by dust, thun-
der, or lightning; and concludes his paper by say-
ing, "If it, then, be neither a phase of sunstroke,
lightning, malaria, nor miasmata, in a concentrated
form, what is it P or to what is it to be referred P"
A paper was then read by Mr. G. A. Rowell on
the " Great Storm in Wiltshire on December 31,
1859." The accounts in the public papers describe
the storm as a whirlwind. Mr. Rowell had care-
fully examined its track, and not only found no
proof of a whirling of the wind, but that many of
the effects of the storm could not have been pro -
duced by currents of air moving either in circles or
direct. He believed the violence of the storm to
have been the result of a rarefaction or partial
vacuum in the storm cloud, and the destructive
effects were produced by the expansion of the
air within or beneath the buildings, &c., owing
to the diminution of atmospheric pressure as
the cloud passed over, or by the rush of
air into the rarified space as it passed onward.
Mr. Espy and Mr. T. Hopkins ascribe such upward
currents of air as might have caused such a storm
to the expansion of the air from the disengagement
of latent heat by the condension of vapour. It may
be objected to this view, that the heavy rain which
accompanied this storm must have been the result
of such an enormous condension of vapour, that the
heat disengaged by it must have put a stop to all
further condension at the time, whereas the like
heavy rain accompanied the storm throughout. The
theory advanced by Mr. Rowell is that evaporation
is produced by the minute particles of water being
buoyed up into the air by their coatings of electri-
city when in their agglomeration into drops of rain,
as the surface of the drops is much less than that of
the aggregate surfaces of the vapour of which they
are composed, a vacuum is created on the instant
from formation of every rain-drop by the passing
away of the surplus electricity. Consequently a
rarefaction or partial vacuum would result from
the formation of rain in accordance with its extent,
and so long as it might continue. The storm began
near Caine, and continued in the general direction
of the wind over about 11 miles, the width, as marked
by its destructive effects, being from 100 to 400
yards. The great violence did not last more than from
three to five minutes at any one place. The fall of
rain was enormous, with thunder and lightning, and
the clouds were so low as to seem to sweep the
ground. It was accompanied by a terrific roaring
noise, and the hailstones fell of extraordinary size
and form. A vast number of trees were blown
down, and much damage done by the wind.
Amongst other effects, the slates were taken off roofs
on their leeward side; the roof of a shed, stoutly
built of elm timber, and covered with blue slates,
the estimated weight of which was four tons, was
lifted off the walls and deposited on the ground
quite clear of them, without a single brick being
disturbed. '1 his shed was protected from the effects
of the wind by a much loftier building about 25
yards from it on the windward side. A waggon
weighing one ton two hundredweight, with a hurl-
dredweight of hay in it, was lifted right over a hedge,
to clear which it must have been carried more than
eight feet in height. The under surface of this
waggon was not more than 66 square feet : a pres-
sure of 39 pounds to the square foot would not have
lifted the waggon from the ground, even if the wind
eguld have blown so as to act perpendicular to the
bottom of it. Other facts were mentioned to show
the effects could not have been produced by a direct
wind, and amongst them was that of the two
ends of a garden wall being both blown inwards.

At present the new Parliament of Turin is
simply engaged in the preliminary work of ver-
cation des pouvoirs. 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 thin.
described :
" It was four o'clock when Count Cavour took
his seat 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. He therefore
rose with a gesture of disapproval, and in firm and
rather sharp language 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-
baldi to pat the question. Lineo advised the
postponement of it till the nett day. The confusion
was so great, and the speakers so loud and nume-
rous, that it was impossible to follow the discus-
sion. At last the Deputy Boggio, one of the se-
cretaries, succeeded in making himself heard, and
proposed to the house the resumption of the former
discussion, since no member had the right of put-
ting questions to the Ministry till the vercation
des pouvoirs 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 is
evidently bent on gaining time. To-day's Opsmone
announces that Savoy and Nice will be called upon
to pronounce on their destinies by universal suf-
frage in about eight days ; and if Nice be made, by
fair means or foul to vote for annexation to France
there is an end for ever to Garibaldi's Parliamen-
tary opposition. Nevertheless, Cavour cannot fail
to have a mauvais quart d'heure before this Savoy-
Nice matter is settled. Some of the most deter-
mined patriots of the latter place have even been
heard talking of personal voles de fait against him.
Poor Garibaldi, on leaving the Carignano Palace,
was heard saying with anguish, 'lt is well the
world should know the fine Parliament we have.'"
