CHURCH RATES.

The early part of the afternoon was occupied by the
Newmarket settling, and it was not until nearly the
usual hour for cloeing the room that speculation was'
resumed, with any briskness. The aivancement of
General Bosquet and the return ,of Adamas to his old
price for the Chester Cup were the principal movements.
For the Deny 6 is 1 was book- d two or three times
about Fitz-Poland, and afterwards currently offered ;
his stable c3mpanion, Beadsman, had been backed fur
money in the City in the morning, at 20 to 1, and those
odds were taken about him after 22 "ponies" had been
laid. Tee Hadji was again looking up. 40 to I—a
fancy bet—was laid against Ditto, afterwards 2,000
even Physician beats Ditto was laid, and this transac-
tion, perhaps, is the best criterion of Ditto's price.

GREAT WALKING MATCH.

WINDSOR, APRIL 26.
Seldom has any sporting event connected with
the fashionable circles in this part, particularly
among military men, excited so great a degree of
lively interest as the pedestrian feet between the
Hon. T. H. G. Fermor and Captain A. S. Lumley,.
of the 2d Life Guards, which came off at Salt•hill
this afternoon. The match was made about two
months ago, for one hundred guineas a-side, and
ever since that time both parties have been under
severe training. Captain Lumley, under the cele-
brated North Star, at Windsor—who, it will be re-
' remembered, accomplished at S alt-hill the matchless
feat of running 20 miles under two hours. The
Hon. Mr. Fermor has been under the training of
Newman, at Elston Neston.
The terms of the match were as follows :—That
Captain Lumley should walk over ten miles of
ground on the turnpike road in the neighbourhood.
of Salt-hill, near Windsor, at a stated period, be-
fore the Hon. Mr. Fermor accomplished his ninth
mile ; that they should start together, and at the
end of the fir,..t half-mile Capt. Lumley to return
to the starting-point, and then walk the distance
before hi, opponent reached the goal. The umpires
were—Capt. Bathurst for the Hon. Mr. Fermor,
and Colonel Ashley, of the Scots Fusileer Guards,
for Capt. Bum ey.
Precisely at 14 minutes past four o'clock the
parties were start-d from Two-mile-brook by New-
man, the trainer, very-evenly, Capt. Lumley at
the end of the hl:f-mile returning to the starting-
post and then following his opponent. The six
and a half miles were completed by Capt. Lumley
i❑ one hour, and the same distance by the Hon.
Mr. Fermor in one hour and five minutes.
The betting at-starting was 6 to 4 on Mr. Fermor,
and,at this period it was 4tol. in his favour. Mr.
Fe. mor completed his nine miles in one hour and
thirty minutes, Captain Lumley coming in four
minutes and a halt behind him. The distance was
one mile out and in until eight miles were com-
pleted, and the finish at the Dumb Bell, near the
Maidenhead station. It was evident that the
winner, who was almost like a whipping-post, had
trained himself severely ; and his opponent had
not sufficiently undergone this ordeal, although he
walked magnificently.
Most of the officers from London, Windsor,
Hounslow, and Aldershott were present, and a large
concourse of sporting men from all parts.
After the match the officers of the 2d Life
Guards gave a grand dinner at the Spittal Barracks,
Clewer, to the officers of, the Ist Life Guards,
Royal Horse Guards (Blue), and others of their
friends from other regiments. --

REPLY OF THE SARDINIAN GI)VERNMENT
TO THE NEAPOLITAN MEMORANDUM AND
TO THE OPINIOAS OF THE ENGLISH LAW
OFI.ICERS OF THE CROWN.

(Prom the Kendal Mercury, April 24 )
At the Petty Sesseais at Amuleside, on Wednesday
last—present : H. Roughsedge, Esq. (chairman), Dr.
Davy, and Samuel Taylor, Esq., jure—the court was
occupied for nearly two hours in bearing and consider-
ing two cases of summons for non-payment of church
rates. These cases excited considerable interest in the
township, and there was a numerous attendance.
The case of Miss Martineau was first taken. Mr. J.
11. Taylor appeared for her. He pointed out two its
in the rate, whim, he contended, were items, and
cited authority to show that when there was one illegal
item iu the rate, the whols rate was tainted, and stated
that he had other objections, but merely named those to
show that his client had bona fide nhjections to the rate,
and "not" that the court could decide as to the validity
of the objections ; he handed in a notice signed by his
client, stating first, a protest against the rate on the
ground its illegality ; secondly, disputing its val day ;
and, thirdly, that au action would be commenced against
' the cin of the
uchofetnhteormaggistrate rasatse. Taleshouldisnsouteicaeny proceedings
for
pursuance of the 7th sec. of 53 Geo. 111., cc. v 75 27given in
The court was cleared for about a quarter of an hour,
when it was stated (S. Taylor, Esq., dissenting) that no
satisfactory proof to invalidate the church rate nor reason
was given why the defendant should be exempt from pay-
ing the sum assessed upon her, and therefore we must
issue an order to enforce payment.
The case of Mr. John Crosfield, one of the Society of
Friends, was teen entered upon. Mr. Wainwright ap-
peared on his behalf. He elicited, on cross-examination
of the churchwarden, that a minute, " nut to be paid
until a legal ovinion is obtained," opeosi'e two items in
the estimate for the rate, had been written by the chair-
man of the meeting (the Rev. S. I. Fell) at which the
rate had been laid. Mr. Wain wright then handed to the
chairman a similar notice to that given in the former
ca.e, and contended that the rate was both irregular and
illegal. He said his first objection was that the notice for
the rate was inconsistent with the estimate itself ; that
the rate was bad in laying a rate for payment of propor-
tions to other churches, the mo. her churches of Grasmere
and Windermere, inasmuch as the notice contained no
intimation of anything further being required than the
laying of a rate for the repairs of Ambleside Church, and
expenses chargeable thereto ; also that several items in
the estimate were improper. Mr. Wainwright said he
merely gave these objections to show the bona fides of
I his client in disputing the validity of the rate, and de-
clared it was the intention of his client to contest every
inch of ground in reference thereto.
Dr. Davy interrupted Mr. Wainwright, asking if his
client would not have given a similar notice if there had
been no legal objections
Mr. Wainwright—lt there had been no legal cbjec-
tions my client would have allowed the court to adopt its
own course, however objectionable the thing was in
itself. Mr. Wainwright then said the rate is bad ab
initio, and I serve you with that notice. He cited the
ca,e of " Reg. v. Wrottesley" (in 1 B. and and A., 648),
and that of Dale v. Pollard" (16 Law Jour.),- to show
that the notice given completely ousted the jurisdiction
of the magistrates when there was a bona fide dispute of
the validity of the rata, and protested against their de-

Mr, Wainwright said that was a most ungracious ob-
servation against his client ; but it fortunately happened
that the sth and 6th of Wm. IV. expressly stated that
they (the Quaker) should be dealt with according to
the statute of 53 Geo. 111., uneer which the cases cited
had been dealt with.
The court was again cleared for about a quarter of an
hour, when the Chairman said—On the Caine grounds
we considered it our duty to enforce Miss Martineau'r
rate, we shall enforce this.
Dr. Davy—We consider the objections neither reason-
Wale nor valid.

The Sardinian Governibent, says the Nord, has
just addressed to its agents abroad the following
note, which is a reply both 'to the Neapolitan me-
morandum and to the opinions expressed by the
English lawyers :
"The question of the Osgliati has already been
submitted to•the two-fold ordeal of legal examina-
tion and publicity. It continues to occupy public
attention, and certainly not without reason. This
discus,ion cannot fail to arrive at a political result
which will interest all the maritime Powers. The
interest mote particularly of the mercantile marine
will be strongly affec•ed.
" It is not now necessary to refer to the different
points of this debate. The documents emanating
from . the chanceries of the Courts of Turin and Na-
ples, as well as the articles in the journals of Tulin
and Loudon, have already furnished ample mate-
rials iu different senses to the periodical pres=. At
the same time, it is as well to rectify some assertions
that do not appear sufficiently supported by facts.
" We will examine more particularly two rather
serious points upon which public opinion may still
be misled.
" The memorandum of the Neapolitan Govern-
ment has recourse to the example of the Stromboli
to support its pretensions with respect to the Sar-
dinian Government. The circumsi anon however,
aof this case took place in manner entile!y diffe-
rent to those in the affair of the Cagliari.
"The Stromboli, a steam corvette of the Nea-
politan royal navy, seized on the 11th July, 1818,
two merchant vessels, also Neapolitan, having on
board Sicilians and Neapolitans. These two ves-
sels endeavoured to stye themselves by directing
their course towards Corfu, after having ineffectually
attempted to aid the Calabrian insurrection. It
was then, in that case, a question of an enterprise
of rebellious subjects being repressed by the legiti-
mate Government. The vessels all belonged to the
same c luntry. . The King of Naples made war on
a de facto Government which had been organised
to his detriment in the island of Sicily.
"Lord Palmerston, interpellated on the subject
of an Englishman who was on board one of the cap-
tured vessels, bad to acknowledge the legality of
the seizure made on the open sea, but this acknow-
ledgment in no way constitutes a precedent for the
ease of the Cagliari.
"In the affair of the Cagliari, it is a question of
the ships of one Power, which was not iu any way
at war with another Power, capturing a vessel of
the latter, and recognising it as a fair prize,
al-
though the vessel at the moment of capture could
not give to it the least cause of uneasiness."
.i The law officers of the Crown of England ap-
pear to have attached considerable importance to
the hypothesis that the captain of the Cagliari had
surrendered himself voluntarily with his vessel and
crew to the Neapolitan frigates met with in
the open sea' Tha hypothesi., which rests only
on the .fact of the arrival at Naples of that
steamer, is evidenly destroyed by the deposi-
tions of the captain and passengers on board the
Cagliari, and even by the text of the proces-verbal
of the capture made by the Tancredi frigate.'
44 It appears from the first that the captain an-
nounced ' o all the Persons on b iard the Cagliari,.
at the moment of quitting the coast of Sapri, that
he was going to Naples to coal, and to make his
report to the competent authorities on what had
passed on board his vessel since her departure from
Genoa.
" The proces-verbal, besides, proves that the
Neapolitan military forces seized the Cagliari by
reason of orders they had received to arrest her.
Nothing in all that has passed in th's circumstance
gives the least suspicion of an adhesion on the part
of the captain to the acts of the Neapolitan forces.
The captain conformed to the rules in vigour' in his
own cottetry, and common to all nations, in sur-
rendering himself at the intimation of the ships of
war of a Power with which his country was not in
a state of ho,tility. In the resolution taken to re-
pair to Naples, the captain only fulfilled a duty
imposed by the Sardinisn law. This law (of Jan.
Mr. E. H. Stanton, the chief officer of the American 13, 1857) prescribes to the captain of a vessel in
bark r'trea, which we lately reported as saved from hich acts of insubordination have occurred to
wreck on the Chichester coast, died at Portsmouth or make a report to the consul of the King at the first
