Betting-5 to lon Marig,nan, who jumped off with the

The Derby Handicap of 60 sovs, for all ages ; winners extra.
Five furlongs. 19 subs.

The following also ran :r-Hellenus, Zenobia, Syringe,

Betting-9 to 4 agst Palaiseau, 4to 1 agst Sheffield, sto
1 agst Zenobia, 7 to 1 agst Lopcatcher, 10 to 1 agst Lawl
Pudrick.

Several false starts took place, in which Sheffield, Palai-
sean, Squire Peirse, Lopcatcher, and Syringe broke away.
When the flag fell Lopcatcher was the quickest off, followed
by Palaiseau, Sheffield, and Hellenus, with Syringe and
Weasel a long way in the rear. After going a short distance.
Lopcatcher fell back into the third place, Palaiseau and
Sheffield going on first and second. At the distance the first
three were side by side, Zenobia lying next. At the half
distance Sheffield was being forced, and instantly he turned
and seized Challoner on Lopcatcher, and tore open
his breeches at the knee, bruising it very much and inflict-
ing severe injury. After this a most determined and fine
finish was seen with the three, Lopcatcher winning on the
post by a head, Palaiseau beating Sheffield for second place
by the same ; Hellenus was a bad fourth, Zenobia was next,
Syringe and Weasel bringing up the rear. As soon as
Grimshaw and Jennings, the rider and trainer of Palaiseau,
came into weigh, the latter made an objection against Lop-
catcher having the stake, on the ground of foul riding.
This was instantly gone into before the stewards, who de-
cided in favour of Lopeatcher, and he therefore gets the
stakes.

The Salford Borough Cup of 100 sovs in specie, added to a
Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sovs each; second to receive
£25 out of the stakes. Mile and a half. 45 subs, 25 of

1 agst Lady Trespass, 6 to 1 agst Isabel, 7 to 1 agst Des-
mond, and 100 to 10 any other (offered).
_ _

The start to-day for the Salford Borough Cup was very
unlike that for the Union Cup on Wednesday. Then it
was more than three-quarters of an hour ere the lot was got
off ; to-day it was accomplished at the first attempt, the
eight getting off on even terms, which they continued fora
few strides only, when Rosamond shot to the front, and
carried on the running at a good pace, followed closely by
Montrose and Cramond, Desmond heading the nest lot,
whilst Isabel came on slightly in the rear. In this order
they came along the straight past tie stand, when Mr.
I'Anson's colours came to the front. Desmond, having im-
proved his position, was second ; Rosamond third, Lady
Trespass and the favourite lying off. In this order they pro-
ceeded along the bottom part to the 2-yr-old post, where
Lady Trespass began to draw up to her horses. At the half.
mile Cramond was passed by Desmond and Isabel, the two
carrying it on round the turn into the straight, where Lady
Trespass took fourth place, Wildman, Montrose, and Rosa-
mond here being three whippers in. On nearing the dis-
tance Desmond was beaten, and he soon beat a retreat,
leaving the lead with the French representative, who had
as her follower Lady Trespass, the latter having passed
Cramond and taken second place. Shortly afterwards
Challoner called on his mare, and answering gamely, she
instantly shot past Isabel, and came on and won easily by
two lengths. Isabel beat Montrose by a length, Cramond
was a bad fourth, Petra fifth, Rosamond next, Desmond
and Wildman, the two last, having pulled up.
The Nursery Handicap of 60 sovs, for two-yr-olds ; winners

extra. T.Y.C. 9 subs.

2HE ITALIAN PARLIAMEN2.

A letter from Turin, dated May 21, says, we
have had an important debate about Venice to-day.
Notice had been given by Sebastian Tecchio, a pro-
scribed citizen or Vicenza, and one of the ablest col-
leagues of Daniel Maoin in the Venetian revolution
of 18. 48, that he would invite attention to the diplo-
matic note recently sent to London by Count Rech-
berg, the Austrian Prime Minister, in reply to
Count Cavour's despatch addressed to the Italian
ambassador in London, on the 16th March.
Tecchio's speech exposed the sufferings, and ex-
alted the long-endured martyrdom of his fellow
countrymen still waiting their :day of deliverance
from the Austrian yoke. After citing Lord John
Russell's despatch of the 29th November, in which
the
Austrian government was recommended to con-
sider its perilous and precarious tenure of Venetia,
and to employ this time in conciliating the inhabi-
tants by reforms, Tecchio very earnestly denied that
there could be any ground for the comparison which
Lord John drew between Genoa, made in 1815 part
of the kingdom of Sardinia, and Venice, at the
same date consigned to the Austrian empire. He
said it was a question of nationality, and not of
more or less civil liberty, in this case. The Italians
of Venice were as different from the German and
other races of Austria as it was possible for any
nations to be. They would accept no liberties and
no benefits from Austria as their ruler, for their
only desire was that she should take herself off. The
hon. speaker then dissected Count Rechberg's note,
in answer to that of Count Cavonr. He noticed the
Austrian minister's sardonic allusion to the fact that
some brigands and disturbers of the country, taken
by the royal troops with arms in their hands, and
in the very act of committing outrages, were put to
death in the Abruzzi, after the revolution of last
year. The Austrian minister would perhaps have
desired that the Italian soldiers should perhaps have
desired that the Italian soldiers should forego the
right of self-defence, as well as their duty of expel-
ling the enemies of Italy, and that they should let
themselves be surrounded, and be treacherously cut
off by ambushed and insidious foes. (Cheers.)
Tecchio next came to that passage where Count
Rechberg had declared it was a calumny to assert
that Venice continued now virtually in a state of
siege. He begged Count Cavour to tell the cham-
ber whether that assertion was not true ; for the
Prime Minister of the kingdom of Italy could not
carry his forbearance so far as patiently to bear the
reproach of having penned a falsehood and a calumny
in that instance, Count Rechberg said, and on the
faith of his denial Lord John Russell repeated in the
English House of Commons, a few days ago, that
since the peace of Villafranca the state of siege in
Venetia had ceased to exist. What Count Cavour had
said was, that for the Austrian rule in Venetia no
other Government was possible than a state of siege.
He did net know precisely how many persons in
Venetia had been arrested, or deported, or forcibly
enrolled ; how many had been condemned by
courts-martial, or shot for alleged acts of sedition,
or for inviting soldiers to desert. But the last
document in his possession was one of the 27th of
April, 1861, by which it appeared that the person
who attempted to seduce an Austrian soldier was
at once condemned to death, and that sentence was
to be instantly fulfilled. This was the very same
date as Count Rechberg's despatch denying the
existence of the state of siege ! (Hear, hear.) As
for the persons mysteriously deported away with-
out trial, and confined in the Austrian prisons, he
read an extract from the despatch of the English
Consul-General at Venice, who mentioned by name
some instances of this being done, without any
respect to law, or any proof their guilt, and par-
ticularly the case of a woman torn from her home
and children, because she would not explain the
meaning of some phrase in one of her husband's
letters intercepted by the Austrian police. But
though it must be distressing to the Chamber to
hear of all these cruelties inflicted on the Venetian
people, it was a satisfaction to know that their
sairit remained unbroken. It was not true,
indeed, as Count Rechberg had insinuated,
that the King's Government, which never
concealed its sympathy for that people, had pro-
voked any manifestations agait st them. The
Venetians were not such a people as could
even be shaken in their purpose by the Austrian
state of siege ; and he need only recommend their
destinies to the Parliament of Italy, there met
together to consider her national affairs. Tecchio
sat down amidst the warmest applause.
Count Cavour then rose, and with a very slow,
restrained, and deliberate manner, quite unlike his
wonted eagerness and vivacity on common occa-
sions, spoke in reply. He said the Ministry, in
dictating that note of the 16th of March, could not
have intended to enter into a controversy with the
Austrian Government; but they did assert in that
note, and without hesitation, that it was not pos-
sible for Austria to govern Italy with liberal insti-
tutions. The King's Minister made that assertion,
not to use it as a ground of accusation against the
statesmen of Austria, but in order to make known
a most important fact, which not only for the in-
terests of Italy, but of Europe, should be known to
all political men. That was the fact, as stated by
him (Cavour) in the diplomatic note referred to ;
and he must say that Count Rechberg had been ill
inspired, in contradicting that fact. Now, what
was the particular remark on which Count Rech-
berg had thus commented, as being incorrect ? It
was this--that the system lately extended, such
as it was, to the other provinces of the Aus-
trian empire, was not found applicable to
Venice. That remark, he observed, was one
which since appeared to have obtained the concur-
rence of Lord John Russell, who said in his speech,
quite recently, that the Venetians were subjected
to different conditions from the rest of the Austrian
empire ; and Lord John Russell's opinion seemed to
be adopted by other English statesmen, because, in
the House of Lords also, the most influential
speakers, and even the heads of the Conservative
party, did not now hesitate to declare that the do-
minion of Venice was incompatible with the true
interests of Austria. That result was, perhaps, the
best reply that could be made to Count Rechberg's
diplomatic note, impugning the accuracy of the as-
sertion which he (Cavour) had made. It resulted,
indeed, from the clearest evidence that, whatever
efforts the Austrian Government might make, it
would never conciliate the people of Venetia to the
Austrian dominion. He believed that if the states-
men of Austria had not entertained the design of
extending to Venetia those institutions which had
been conferred on the other provinces, or at least
if they had not done it, it was because they had
found it impossible. In the provinces of Hungary,
Bohemia, and Croatia there were diets called, which
had to elect the councillors of the empire ; but in
Venice, the candidates who were to form the Coun-
cil of the Empire were nominated by the Imperial
Government, a system which appeared to him to be
irrational, and which, leaving so much to the action
of the Government, could not give true representa-
tives of the people. He thought it indeed of
supreme importance now to show that it was im-
possible for Austria to govern Italians liberally,
because liberal ideas were now every day acquiring
greater force in the north of Germany, as might be
seen from those efforts which were being made to
obtain their supremacy by some eloquent interpre-
ters of those ideas at Berlin. He was, therefore,
persuaded that when it was made evident that it
was impossible for Italians to be liberally governed
by Austria—when this proposition should be consi-
dered as surely proved as a mathematical theorem
—he firmly believed that an opinion favourable to
the complete liberation of Italy would then acquire
irresistible force. (Cheers.)
Baron RICASOLI said that Venice was still groan-
ing under tyranny the most atrocious ; but her
people in 1849 and since had shown an example of
the noblest constancy, and she would soon revive.
It was desirable now to declare the will of the re-
presentatives of the nation. They would give the
last drop of their blood and the last of their sub-
stance for the deliverance of Venice. (Cheers.)
A resolution for passing to the order of the day
being read by Rattazzi, as president, the whole
house rose as one man, with enthusiastic plaudits, to
adopt it, and the President was ordered to inscribe
it as an unanimous vote.
As soon as the debate on Venice in the Chamber
of Deputies yesterday was over, one of the members
put a question to Count Cavour about the seventy
Italians of Modena whom his Imperial and Royal
Highness the late Duke of that province carried off
with him into captivity within the Austrian lines,
when he was compelled to quit the little state which
lie had so long misruled. Count Cavour stated in
reply that the Italian Government, through the
agency of the French, had been for some time de-
' mending their release, but the Austrian Govern-
ment affirmed that some of them were persons im-
prisoned for ordinary crimes. Eight indeed out of
the whole number of 70 appeared to be of that
class ; but those confined for political offences wiosuoldf
soon, he trusted, be delivered from the g
