A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels,
says :—" M. Mortar I, the father of the lad kidnapped by
the Ultramontane party at Rome, is at 'present in Paris.
It is said to be his intention to apply to the Congress to
have his child restored to him. Since the intervention of
France has proved inefficacious, M. Mortara intends to lay
the affair before Europe assembled in Council.
BATTLES FOUGIIT ON SUNDAY.—The " War of

the Austrian Succession" offer an example in the battle of
Val, or Lafield, near Maestricht, fought on Sunday, the 2d
of July, 1747. The Peninsular War is fruitful on Sunday
fighting. Tke second battle in Portugal, that in Vimiera
was fought on Sunday, 21st August, 1808. The battle of
Fuentes d'Onor was gained on Sunday, the sth of May,
1811. On Sunday evening, 19th of January, 1812,
Lord Wellington issued the brief and determined order,
that " Ciudad Rodrigo must be carried by assault this
evening, at seven o'clock." The battle of Orthes was
fought on Sunday, the 27th of February, 1814, and
that of Toulouse, the last general action of the Penin-
sular War—occurred on Easter Sunday, the 10th of April
following. The battle of Waterloo was also decided on a
Sunday, the date being the well-known 18th of June, 1815.
The second Burmese war afforded two examples. Easter
Sunday, the 11th April, 1852, the attack on the lines of
defence at Rangoon took place. The second was the attack
and capture of Pegu, on Sunday, the 21st of November,
1852, by the Anglo-Indian troops, under Major. General
Godwin. In the victory of Inkermann is found another
instance, for it was fought on Sunday, the sth of Novem-
ber, 1854. And 'to crown the whole, it was on Sunday,
the 10th of May, 1857 that the terrible Indian mutiny
broke out at Meerut. •

COMPANY.

This ancient civic force was inspected yesterday,
by command of Captain-General and Colonel his
Roydalighness the Prince Consort, by Lieutenant-
Coloniel Lord Frederick- Paulet, of the. Coldstream
Guards. Major-General Lord Rokeby was to have
performed the duty of reviewing officer, but he is
stifle:ring from a slight indisposition, and the sub-
stitution of Lord Frederick Paulet at the last
riement somewhat delayed the commencement of
the proceedings. Shortly after 1 o'clock, when the
-regiment was to have paraded, the esplanade be-
tween the:Armoury-house and the Artillery-ground
was crowded by hundreds of spectators, including
many members of the Victoria and other Rifle
Corps, in full uniform. Before the arrival of Lord
Frederick Paulet the Artillery Company, under the
command of Major Robinson, went through some
of the more simple military manoeuvres with a
steadiness and precision which seemed to afford
universal satisfaction, while their fine band grati-
fied the visitors by playing a few popular airs.
The reviewing officer was received with a general
salute, after which the regiment formed into open
columns, right in front, and marched past in slow
and quick time. It is hardly necessary to state
that the dressing of the men and the wheeling of
the companies were as nearly perfect as they could
be. By the desire of Lord Frederick the ordinary
manual and platoon exercise was dispensed with,
and the more difficult and elaborate movements
were immediately begun. The line advanced, and
then passed from the right of companies by fours- to
the rear, re-formed, and again advanced by wings,
the left wing being commanded by Captain W. H.
Snell, late of the 19th Bombay Native Infantry, and
the right by Captain Jay. The firing by wings
was remarkably steady—quite as much so as that of
regular troops, while the evolutions were performed
with an ease and expertness which long and assi-
duous drill could alone have produced. Quarter
distance columns having been formed, it advanced,
wheeled to the left, deployed into line, and ad-
vanced again. The line then wheeled to the
left into open columns, which advanced, wheeled
to the left, and formed line to the reverse flank, a
rapid and well-sustained file firing from the left of
companies protecting the formation. One of the
best executed movements was that of forming quar-
ter distance columns, followed by some excellent
street firing, which seemed to impress the spec-
tators with a very vivid notion of what would be
the fate of an undisciplined mob when opposed to
such a body as the Artillery Company. The
column next cauntermarched by sub-divisions round
the centre, deployed on the leading company, and
the parade ended with an advance in review order.
Lord Frederick Paulet then addressed the corps in
a few appropriate remarks. He had been, he said,
astonished and delighted by the admirable steadi-
ness with which the various manecuvres had been
performed by the regiment collectively, as well as
by the individual intelligence which had been mani-
fested on the part of both officers 'tad men. Although
the Artillery Company had been in existence since
1609, yet it was composed of the same materials as
the volunteer rifle corps which were now springing
up in all directions, and he could not but think
that the high state of efficiency to which it had at-
tained augured well for the success of the present
movement for the internal defence of the nation.
The gallant officer concluded by stating that he
would have much pleasure in reporting to his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort the unmixed
satisfaction which he had derived from the proceed-
ings of the day. The regiment dined together in

Le evening.

__-
THE LATE LORD HENRY SEYMOUR,

The following particulars of the turf career of
this nobleman, in France, will be perused with

interest :
The races on the Champ de Mars and the royal
prizes had been established some years when Lord
Henry Seymour made his debut on the French turf,
in 1827 ; the most formidablo,rivals that he had at

that time to contend against being found in the
stables of the Duke of Guiche, the Duke of Cars
and Rieussec. The Bois de Boulogne was then the
principal training ground, it being then a wide,
sandy track, and not the maze of wooded walks
which it now forms. Lord Seymour's first essays
were with horses of a respectable class, brought
over from England, his first importation being Lady
Borysthenes. This 'was followed, in 1828, by Link-
boy and Turcoman, horses of a much higher order,
and whose running in matches, &e., created at the

time considerable interest, but who have since gone
the way of all horse flesh. Linkboy was a moderato
Corse, of the third class in England; but Turco.
man won the Two Thousand. it was at this
epoch that the Tiaras at Mouden contained a
mare, Vittoria, that was destined afterwards to
obtain a place in the stud-book equally as important
as that which she occupied in the _Racing Calendar,
she having hitherto evinced a very decisive sup°•
riority over all her French rivals. Linkboy, on being
first matched against her, giving her 91b, was beaten
easily. A second match was then made, this time,
however, at even weights, and for 12,000 f. a side, the
mare ,again_ winning by a length. Three days after-
wards, Vittoria and Turcoman ran a match, but the
four yr old horse carried 51b more than the five yr
old mare, the result being in favour of the latter.
After the race, Lord Seymour offered to " fight the
battle o'er again," at weight for age, but the chal-
lenge was not accepted. It must be observed, that
Turcoman although a winner of the Two Thousand,
could scarcely be rated more than a second-class
English horse, and probably at the time when he
was sent to France, he had lost much of his primi-
tive " form." These races, we are of opinion, are
both interesting and instructive, being the most
important that took place before the establishment
of the Jockey Club, the results showing that French
trainers do not lack skill to develope the power of
horses descended from a good old English stock.
Lord Seymour, therefore,from that time turned all

his attention to the breeding of horses, and to the
encouragement of French produce, and at the
period immediately preceding the formation of
the Societe d'Encouragement, lie brought out
Lionel, Egle, Cyrus, Clerino, Tiberius, Fra Dia-
volo, &c., all of which which were winners of
considerable stakes,Egle laving the good fortune to
have never been beaten. In 1833, Lord Seymour took
a very active part in the establishment of the Societe
d'Encouragement, and commenced operations as a
turfite on a more extended scale. Till then his
stable had been conducted under the superinten-
dence of his trainer, he being content to engage
Boast or Buckle, from England, to ride in the great
races, the matches abeve alluded to being all ridden,
however, by W. Weston. It was in 1833 that the
fine stables at Sablonville were constructed, the
horses placed under the direction of Mr. Thomas
Carter (then a young man of great promise, a pupil
of Mr. Robson, one of the first of Newmarket
trainers), and T. Robinson, and subsequently Flat-
man (not our Nat) were regularly engaged as
jockeys; and in 1835 he imported Royal Oak and
Ibrahim for his stud. Lord Seymour was then in
the heyday of his prosperity, Miss Annette having
been for many years the recognised champion of the
French turf, while Morotto, Lampo, and Ellisondo,
new importations from England, carried off all the
prizes for which they ran. Miss Annette, however,
found a conqueror, at Aix-la-Chapelle in Young
Arnphion, but she was then approaching the termi-
nation of her career, and with this single exception,
Lord Seymour's stable was as successful abroad as in
Fratice. The Prix du Jockey Club, on being
founded, was carried off for three years in succes-
sion bylLord Seymour, who was then in constant
competition with the stable of the popular
Duke of Orleans, and almost always to his
own advantage, as George Edwards had not then
quitted the employment of the Earl of Jersey to
seek his fortunes on the French turf. Franck,
Lydia, and Vendredi were the names of the three
first successful candidates for the French " blue
riband." Franck was never beaten, and Lydia was
only once defeated by Nautilus. The other great
winners that he at this time turned out were Donna
Maria, Fortunatus, and Chip-of-the-old-Block, and
Britannia and Royal George were about the last
competitors trained by T. Carter.
We had almost omitted to state that some years
before Lord Seymour had established the hams at
Glatigny, near Versailles, under the direction of R.
Carter the elder, who is now engaged in the same
capacity with Count F. de Lagrange, at Dangu.
Towards 1839, if our memory serves, Lord Sey-
mour ran Scroggins, and one or two other horses in
England, then inaugurating his acquaintance with
the brothers Boyce, who soon afterwards migrated
to France, where they established themselves as
trainer and jockey. Lord Seymour's stable was
then transferred to Chantilly ; his star, however,
was already on the wane, the stable of the
Duke of Orleans, under the able direction of
George Edwards, now taking a prominent po-
sition. Primefit and Evelyn had less success than
the other importations of Lord Seymour and
Oakstick, although a great victor in France, made
a fruitless journey to Goodwood. The successes
of Florence, Gavotte, and Poetess (winner of the
French Derby in 1841), are the next records of the
last years of his lordship on the turf. Immediately
after Versailles Races, in 1842, his training esta-
blishment was sold, and since that time his colours
have never re-appeared on a race-course although,
in 1858, Christina and Colax (purchased by Lord
Seymour, at M. Pescatore's sale) have been in train.
ing at Carter, senior's, and have run, without
success, under the name of the latter.
Few turfites have had a more prominent position
in French racing than Lord Seymour, and taking
into consideration the difficulties with which it was
beset in his time, few have rendered the sport
greater service.—Sunday Times.

at Lucknow, in India, as recorded their several names, viz.:—
Lieutenant (now Brevet-Major) Samuel Hill Lawrence,
32d Regiment—For distinguished bravery in a sortie on the
7th of July, 1857, made, as reported by Major Wilson, late
Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General of the Lucknow Gar-
rison, "for the purpose of examining a house strongly held
by the enemy, in order to discover whether or not a mine
was being driven from it." Major Wilson states that he
saw the attack, and was r.n eye-witness to the great per-
sonal gallantry of Major Lawrence on the occasion, he being
the first to mount the ladder, and enter the window of the
house, in effecting which he had his pistol knocked out of
his hand by one of the enemy; also for distinguished bravery
in a sortie, on 26th Sept., 1857, in charging with two of his
men, in advance of his company, and capturing a 9.pounder
gnu.

Corporal William Oxenham, 32d Regiment—For distin-
guished gallantry in saving the life of Mr. Capper, of the
Bengal Civil Service, by extricating him from the ruins of
a verandah which had fallen on him, Corporal Oxenham
being for ten minutes exposed to a heavy fire, while doing so.
Private William Dowling, 32d Regimeat—For distin-
guished gallantry on the 4th July, 1857, in going out with
two other men, since dead, and spiking two of the enemy's
guns. He killed a Soubadar of the enemy by one of the
guns. Also, for distinguished gallantry on the 9th of the
same month, in going out again with three men, since dead,
to spike one of the enemy's gnus. He had to retire, the
spike being too small, but was exposed to the same danger.
Also, for distinguished bravery, on the 27th September,
1857, in spiking an 18-pounder gun during a sortie, he
being at the same time under a most heavy fire from the
enemy.
