SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

The early part of the afternoon was occupied by the
Newmarket settling, and it was not . until nearly the
usual hour for closing the room that speculation was
resumed with any briskness. The' advancement of
General Bosquet and the return of Adamas to hie old
price for the Chester Cup were the principal movements.
For the Derry 6 to 1 was book,d two or three times
about Fitz-Roland, and afterwards currently, offered ;
bis stable companion, Ba.dsman, had been backed for
money in the City in the morning, at 20 to 1, and those
odds were taken about him after 22 "ponies" had been
laid. The Hadji was again looking up. 49 to I—a
fancy bet—was laid against Ditto, afterwards 2,000
even Physician beats Ditto was laid, and this transac-
t.ion, perhaps, is the best criterion of Ditto's price.

GREAT WALKLYG MATCH.

WINDSOR, APRIL 26.
Seldom has any sporting event connected with
the fashionable ci►cles in this part, particularly
among military men, excited so great a degree of
lively interest as the pedestrian feat 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 Salt-hill the matchless
feat of running 20 miles under two hours. The
Hun. 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
grouud on'the turnpike road in the neighbourhood
of Salt-hiil, 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. Burnley.
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 half-mile returning to the starting-
post and then following his opponent. The six
and a half miles were completed by Capt. Lumley
in 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.thii 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 magn:ficently.
Most of the officers from London, Windsor,
Hounslow, and Aldershott were present, and a large
concourse of spoitirg men from all parts.
After the match the officers of the 2d Life

REPLY. OP THE SARDINIAN Q )VERIVMENT
TO THE NEAPOLITA Ar EM ORAN DUM AND
TO THE OPINIOAS OF THE ENGLISH LA W
OFFICERS OF THE CROWN.

The Sardinian Government, 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 earproseed by the
English lawyers :
" The quest ion of the Cagliari ha% 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
discussion 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 affeoed.
" 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 Turin.
and Loudon, have already furnished ample mate-
rials is different senses to the periodical prev. At
the same t; me, it is as well to rectify seme 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 circumstances,
however,
of this ease took place in a manner entirely diffe-
rent to those in the affair of the Cagliari.
"The 'Stromboli, a steam corvette of the Nea-
tolitan royal navY, seized on the 11th July,. 1848,
wo merchant vessels also Neapolitan, having on
hoard Sicilians and Neapolitans. These tw ves-
sels eudeaveured to save themselves by direo cting
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 country. The King of Naples made war on
a de facto Government which had been organised
to his detriment in the island of Sicily.
"Lord Paltnerston, interpellated on the subject
of an Englishman who was on board one of the cap-
tured vessels, had to acknowledge the legality of
the seizure made on the open sea, but this acknow-
ledgm, nt in no way constitutes a precedent for the
case of the Cagliari.
"ln 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."
" 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. This hypothesis, which rests only

board
deprotbhsai
the
on the fact of the arrival at Naples of that
tsctioaengalmsiaoerfrilthaeins
of the capture made by the Tancredi frigate.'
"It appears from the first that the captain an-
nounced io all the persons on b.)ard 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 country, 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 hostility. In the resolution taken to re-
pair to Naples, the captain only fulfilled a duty
imposed by the Sardinian law. This law (of Jan.
13, 1857) prescribes tQ the captain of a vessel in
hich acts of insubordination have occurred to
make a report to the consul of the King at the first
port where the vessel should cal'.
" The facts which subsequently took place were,
besides, of a nature to require t tat the captain
soon as possible
should Ilea to Owe himself as

under the protection of a diplomatic agent of his
Government.

"Such is the veritable state of the facts. It does
not appear difficult to deduce from them the legi-
timate consequences.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The first detachment of wounded troops from
Cawnpore arrived at Fort Pitt general hospital,
Chatham, from India, on Sunday evening, having
disembarked at Gravesend from the East India
Company's ship Hotspur, Capt. Thornhy. The sick

made, 13 men were taken into hospital for further
surgical treatment. Nearly the whole of the troops
who are suffering from wounds were at the capture
of Cawnpore, where they received heir injuries ;
some of them are very severely wottutlea, and seven
men have lost either an—armor a leg, while others
