A.TEST NEW

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Fitzßoland in gallant style, but Fitz seemed to me
big and lusty, and he will, or I am much mistaken,
be bad to beat for the St. Leger. Perhaps Fisher-
man and Arsenal are the two best horses of their
respective years, and their meeting for the Cup
was a most interesting event. The old horse won
cleverly, and he and Wells received quite an ova-
tion on their return to the enclosure. Lord Londes-
borough, who seems to " coquette" with the turf,
must have regrttted purchasing Warlock, who, how-
ever, may become valuable as a stud horse. Such a
two-yr-old as North Lincoln has not probably been
seen since the early days of the Flying Du4laman and
West Australian ; Musjid and Marionette who
were behind him at Ascot are likely to be heard of
to much advantage, the former in particular is
likely to play a prominent part in the Derby
betting. The list days' sport presented no "feature"
for comment, and having sketched the most
prominent incidents of the Ascot week I will direct
attention to coming events.
The Cockneys will have glorious weather for
their revels on Moulsey Hurst. More booths than
ever will this year be seen at Hampton, and
the gathering is likely to be immense. Although
the racing will not be important, yet it will be
quite interesting enough to excite the curiosity of
the spectators and to afford employment to the
batting fraternity.
Sixteen are nominated for the Stand Plate, and
really Mr. Mellish's two, Tame Deer and Little
Treasure' are the most noteworthy names "on
paper." The Hurst Plate may be won by Amorous
Boy. A larger acceptance than usual has been ob-
tained for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, and I
see nothing amongst the likely starters to interfere
with the chances of Barbarity and Lord Stately.
For the Claremont Stakes Zitella and Rosabel have
the most attractions. The Innkeepers' Plate I shall
assign to Freemason. For the Visitors' Plate, Bar-
barity and Inder are the most trustworthy. For
the Richmond Plate, I shall select Naughty Boy.
Somerset will win the Queen's Plate. The Bushy
Plate will perhaps go to Yesa, and the Railway
Plata to the Greek.

The B troop of Royal Horse Artillery, in com-
mand of Captain Johnson, marched to Knights-
bridge Barracks yesterday from head-quarters,
Woolwich, to be it readiness to proceed to Worm-
wood-scrubs this norning to join a brigade of the
household and ether cavalry, to be reviewed to-
day byMajor-General the Earl of Cardigan, K. C. 8.,
Inspeciing General of Cavalry. The B troop of
Royal worse. Artillery are under orders to march
on Thursday nextfrom Woolwich for Aldershott.
Orders were yesterday issued at Woolwich for
the assembling of the garrison on Thursday next
on the review ground, to go through a field-day's
evolutions, in honour of his Excellency the Swedish
Minister in London and some other foreign per-
sonages, who are to visit Woolwich on the occasion.
The B and half of the II field batteries were yes-
terday afternoon marched to Woolwich-common to
take up camp quarters, as weil as a troop of the
Military Train.
The non-commissioned officers attached to the
East India Company's depots at Chatham Garrison
have presented Sergeant-Major J. Bramall, the
senior non-commissioned officer of the Ist battalion
of infantry, with a massive silver goblet and cover
as a mark of the high ropect entertained towards
him, on the occasion of his retiring from the Ist
battalion, having received a staff appointment.
Sergeant-Major Braman has been 21 years in the
service, and for his exemplary conduct during the
whole of that period he was recently awarded the
good-conduct medal and gratuity of 151.
The Dublin Freeman says it is rumoured in mi-
litary circles that, in further compliment to the
Irish nation, the lances now in use by the sth
Royal Irish Dragoons are to be withdrawn imme-
diately, and a most formidable weapon, on the
principle of the old Irish pike, is to be issued to
the corps. The piko will be furnished with a pen-
non of green, similar in form to the lance flag.
The gunboats Sandfly and Spanker, of 60-horse
power each, attached to the Coastguard service,
were yesterday docked at Woolwich" for an over-
haul by the engineer.

THE CAGLIARI.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Pos
(second edition) says--

" I believe the public may congratulate her
Majesty's Government on having sent to Naples
an ultimatum, The Government of the Two
Sicilies is called upon to pay the demanded in-
demnification for Park and Watt, or submit the
difficulty to mediation within a limited period. I
believe also that the British Cabinet will act with
Piedmont in pressing for a release of the Cagliari
and her crew. Should the King resist, and a
British squadron enter the Bay of Naples, I can
assure you, on the best authority, that there is no
intention on the part of the enemies of the King
to make any demonstration. The national party

in Italy will never again indulge is isolated

movements ; in fact, Mazzini and his policy no
longer exists. The Great Powers need not fear

any " revolutionary " movement in the penin

sula."

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY.
M. de Pene, who was wounded in a duel with
M. Hyenne, is much better. He has at length
been able to take some solid food, and it is hoped
he will soon bear removal to Paris.
Although the question of the Nicaragua inter-
oceanic canal has not yet been brought before the
public in a tangible shape, nor has the convention
been circulated in any French paper, the opinion of
many persons is, that it i 3 a failure, at least for the
present, and that from financial as well as political
reasons.

Conimander the Hon. T. Pakenham yesterday
took up his commission at Woolwich, and hoisted
his pendant on board her Majesty's screw steam-
ship Racer, 11, recently built at Deptford. She
was yesterday taken up by the master-rigger of the
yard, and will receive her mast,' to-day.
The screw steamship Archer, 13, has nearly com-
pleted her total of 170 officers and crew, and was
yesterday admitted into the fitting basin at Wool-
wich. The following officers have taken up their
•oinmissions and joined, viz.—Captain Sanderson,
First-Lieutenant Knowles, Second-Lieutenant
Thomas, Third-Lieutenant Pitman, Mr. Childs
and Mr. Hughes, surgeons ; Mr. M'lnnes, chief
engineer ; and Mr. Crump and Mr. Montague,
clerks.

Whilst the inhabitants of Cockaigne are disport-
ing themselves at Hampton the pleasure folk of
the Midland Counties will have their three days
out at Newton. At present, as very little is known
relative to the runners, my notes on the probable
result of the sport must be brief. Joyeuse will
win both her races, ilesperithusa the Vigifnre'
Plate, M. Dobler the Lancashire Trades' Plate,
and either Physician or Orchehill may carry off the
Great Newton Handicap.

FEIST'S RACING RECORD.—The tune part of
this ureful monthly guide has been published, and
is by this time in the hands of all racing men.

The Comus 14, Commander Richard Dawkins,
which was paid off at Chatham yesterday, has
been in commission upwards of five years, hav-
ing sailed from Sheerness in June 1853, where
she was commissioned by Captain W. A. Fellowes.
During the whole time she has been in commis-
sion she has been attached to the China squadron,
under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Michael
Seymour, K.C.8., and has been in succession at
Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, and Amoy, having
been stationed at the last port 17 months. The
Comus was exceedingly successful in puting down
piracy in the Chinese waters, and on one occasion
destroyed 11 pirate junks which had for a long time
infested the Formosa Channel, the crews being for
the most part killed. In 1855 Captain Fellowes
was succee lad in the command of the Comus by
Commander Robert Jenkins, until that officer
joined the Action, surveying vessel, when he was
succeeded by Commander R. Dawkins. A gre
deal of si •kness has prevailed on board during the
time the Comas has been in commission, and out of
130 whe'sailed from Eogl,,nd in 1853 only 63 have
returned, the remainder having ei her died or been
invalided home, the deaths arising chiefly from
dysentery and fever. Six deaths occurred on board
during the voyage home. On being paid off yes-
terday Commander Dawkins assembled the whole
of the crew and expressed the gra,tifization he ex-
perienced in having commanded such an excellent
body eif men, remarking that during the five years
the Comus had been in commission there had not
been a single case of flogging on board. He then
presented the following gratuities for good conduct
by order of Admiralty—viz., William Bishop, cap-
tain of the forecastle, '7/. ; Charles Rthlerley, cap- ,
taiu of the aftergnard, 7/. ; John Conelley, boat-
swain's mat 7/. ; and Henry Latter, captain of
the mizentop, Si.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Lieut. F. G. C. Paget to com-
mand the Oberon ; Joseph Wallis, master, addi-
tional to the Blenheim ; and W. J. Billings, sur-
geon, to the Hydra.

TATTERSALUS-MONDAY.

Although the early part of the afternoon was entirely
occupied with settling the last week's accounts, specu-
lation on future events was resumed at the close with
some briskness. For the Northumberland Plate Under-
hand was advanced to sto 1 taken and offered. 4to 1
was offered on the field for the St. Leger, which odds
were once booked to 501. about Toxophilite. sto 1 was
taken freely about Governess. The Derby betting, as
the subjoined list will show, took rather .an extensive
range.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JUNE 5.
Durin the last 48 hours there has been such a
violent panic here that the most valuable private
stock has been sold with feverish haste, and at
ruinously low prices. Credit Bank Shares (at
200 fl.), which had gradually risen to 27011., are at
2181 although it is well known to the finance
world that a large dividend will be paid on them ;
and Northern Railroad Shares, which towards the
end of the war were at 22011, were yesterday
quoted at 163f1. On inquiring of some of the lead-
ing men on 'Change what had led to the panic,
they were at a loss to reply to my question. Some
thought that Credit Bank Shares had fallen because
Baron Rothschild had announced his intention to
retire from the administration, and others " be-
lieved" that things were not progressing fauourably
at Paris. The great public only suspects that
there have been dissentions in the Conference,
but it is evident that a few individuals have taken
advantage of their superior knowledge, and sold
largely with the intention of re-purchasing at
reduced prices. It is generally believed that the
rupture between the house of Rothschild and the
Credit Bank is complete, but a compromise will
ultimately be effect3d. Semi-official peacemakers
are already hard at work, and a project for au
" honourable peace" has already been drawn up.
Government stock has been but little affected by
the panic, and the foreign exchanges were lower
yesterday than they have been for many a long
day. London bills (long and short) were at
1011. 10k.
