Art. I. From the date of the publication of the present
decree, all merchandise arriving from any other of the
united provinces of Italy will be considered home produce,
and consequently treated as such in Neapolitan ports.

ing trade when carried on in vessels under the national
flag. Our customs regulations will, therefore, be applied

Umbria are abolished.
The •existing regulations respecting the island of Sicily
will remain in force until the Italian tariff is introduced
there.
Art. 11. The duties fixed in the table annexed to the
decree. of 24th of September last, on the importation and
exportation of certain merchandise, will continue provi-
sionally in force.
Art. 111. Foreign goods arriving from the free ports of
Leghorn, Genoa, and Ancona, will pay, at the custom-
houses of the ports at which they arrive, the duties fixed
by the tariff at present in force.
Vessels with such produce can only deal with first-class
custom-houses, according to the regulations of June 19,
1826.
Art. IV. The exportation of grain from the Italian pro-
vinces and from Sicily is provisionally prohibited.

Nov. 8.
The Right Hen. the Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade hava i eceived from the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's
Consul at Lisbon, transmitting copies of two notices issued
by the Board of Health of that port, of which the following
are translations :

The Board of Health of this kingdom hereby make known
that the port of Gibraltar is considered suspected of cholera
morbus.

Lisbon, Oct. 19.
The Board of Health of this kingdom, having observed
that the 16th Article of the Edict of the Sth March last is
repeatedly and frequently infringed on the part of captains
of vessels, in presenting at the ports of the kingdom more
than one bill of health, contrary to the disposition of the
quarantine regulations of the same date, and thereby cans-
'jug serious inconvenience to the service of the health sta-
tions and to commercial interests, they have decided to give
publicity to the above cited article in a separate edict, the
tenor of which is as follows :
ARTICLE 16.
No vessel must have more than one bill of health, and
that it may be considered in regular order, it should be
passed according to the official form of the Portuguese Con-
sul at the port of departure, and have the visas of the Por-
tuguese Consuls at the ports they may touch at, or put into
through stress of weather.
1. The bill of health as also the visas shall make particu- '
lar mention of the state of the public health, not only of
the port, but of the whole of the consular district, the Con-
suls declaring, as near as possible, the proximate number
of cases of cholera, yellow fever, and plague, when in any
part of the consular district there exists any of the said
disorders.
2. In the absence of the Portuguese Consul, the bill of
health can be passed and the visas certified by the Spanish
Consuls, and'in the absence of the latter, by those of any
other nation having commercial relations with Portugal.
3. The bills of health that do not bring a consular attes-
tation shall not be considered in any way valid.
In order that ignorance or other pretexts be not alleged,
the Board of Health, in virtue of the authoiity conceded to
them by the 16th article of the decree of the. 3d January,
1837, hereby make known, that the vessels arriving in the
ports of the kingdom, presenting more than one bill of
health after the Ist January, 1861, or with a bill of health
not in the official form, shall be considered as having an
irregular bill of health, and as such, subject to the disposi-
tions and sanitary measures relative to this infringement of
the regulations.
The board likewise make known that the official form of
bills of health to which the above 16th article refers, is the
same that was ordered to be observed and put in force by
the consuls and consular-agents, in the circular order of
the 10th and 11th of June of the present year, addressed to
these functionaries by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
All which is made public by the present edict for the in-
formation of those interested.

delaying the start for some time. When the flag fell
Gladiolus and Feodorowna were the first to show in front,
the next lot being The Alderman, The Nun, King of
Algiers, and Petra. Light and The Brewer ran side by
side, Herne and Moorcock the last two. In this order they
ran past the Stand to the Canal-bridge turn, when The
Nun went up to the leaders, racing with Feodorowna until
the turn entering the straight, where the two were beaten,
and Light went to the front, closely waited upon by Gladio-
lus and The Brewer. Half-way up the straight The Brewer
went up to Light, and waited on him to the half distance, a
most exciting race terminating in favour of the old horse by
a neck. There was a length between Light and Gladiolus,
and a similar distance separated Gladiolus from Dread-
nought. Ben Webster was fifth, Petra sixth. The Alder-
man and Moorcock were the next pair. Heiress, Feodo-
rowna, The Nun, and Herne were the last lot, the latter
being outpaced from end to end, and not even passing the
post.

THE CHAMPION'S BELT.

This trophy was to have been given to thirst on Friday,
to enable him to make a triumphal entry therein to Staley.
bridge, but owing to the misconduct of Tom Sayers, to
whom it was lent for a special object some weeks back, and
by whom it was not returned, we are unable to hand it
over. Sayers applied to us for the loan of the belt for one
week when he was to take a benefit in the north, and we
willingly lent it on his undertaking to return it to Mr.
Hancock, the jeweller, in whose custody we had placed it,
at the expiration of the week. We naturally expected he
had kept his word; but on Friday, when application was
made to Mr. Hancock, we discovered that Sayers had never
been near the place since he obtained the belt. We think,
after the numerous kindnesses he has received at our hands,
such conduct as this is most unpardonable. He knew per-
fectly well that the fight for the Championship had taken
place, and that the belt would be required, and yet he took
no steps whatever to return it, nor did he even let us know
his whereabouts so that we might communicate with him.
It strikes us that prosperity has raised this man so much
above himself that he is utterly selfish, and thinks of no-
thing beyond his own ends. We must request that he in-
stantly take steps to forward the belt either to ourselves or
to Sam Hurst, at Mr. Hyde's, White House, Staleybridge,
paying all expenses of carriage, &c. We have learned a
lesson by Tom's conduct on this occasion which we shall
not easily forget.—Bell's Life.
