THE RACE ANI) THE RESULT.

No delay occurred in the weighing stand; the jockeys
were soon out and mounted, and Mr. M‘George lost no time
in getting them off. After Godding's horses had made a
demonstration by galloping up and down the course to-
gether, the 16 starters walked quietly to the post, and the
lot got away at the first attempt. The first on his legs was
Sawcutter, who held a pretty good lead, Mr. Ten Broeck's
two, Satellite and Optimist, and The Brewer being next,
Herne long way in the rear. They had not travelled far,
however, before Man. at-Arms rushed to the front, and he
led past the stand, his immediate pursuers being The Brewer,
Optician, Bridegroom, Satellite, and Chere Arnie. Man-at-
Arms increased his lead on entering the Dee side of the
course, but The Brewer soon drew up to him, and the lot,
with the exception of Herne, who was a long way behind,
took pretty close order. Satellite then showed prominently
in the race, but as the horses passed the stand a second
time Wallace went a •head, and he was followed by
The Brewer and First Lord. On going round the
Dee side Ben 'Webster took the leading business, and
the first and second finished the race between
them, Ben Webster winning by two lengths. The second
was 10 lengths off the third, and the fourth finished just
a-head behind him. Satellite was a bad fifth, Optimist
sixth, Flirtation seventh, Wallace and Weatherbound lead-
ing the next lot. The meeting was completely successful.

and My Dear, Caliban, and Interest took the three first
places. At the distance the favourite was slightly in ad-
vance, which position he maintained by winning after a
good race in by a neck, the same distance separating the
second and third ; Creeper was fourth, the others beaten a
long way, Quiver coming in last.

THE OU'IR 4 GE ON veiPT. 214 CDoNALD
--BARON SCILLMNITZ'S NOTE.

The following is a translation of the note which
bas been addressed by Baron Schleinitz, through
Count Bernstorff, to Lord' John Russell, relating
to the recent Macdonald discussion in the House of
Commons:—

" I have observed from the public journals, with
as much surprise as deep regret, the manner in
which Lord. Palmerston replied to the questions
addressed to him in the House of Commons on the
26th of last month on the subject of Captain Mac-
donald. We could not expect that he would take
in this matter the same view as the Prussian Go-
vernment, but we might have taken it for granted
that the First Minister of England, fully cogni-
zant of the circumstauee3 stated by us, would abs-
tain from heaping groundless repro!, ches ( Vorwurfe)
on the Government and laws of Prussia. He him-
self could not do otherwise than acknowledge that
the conduct of the Prussian officials had been in
accordance with the Prussian laws. And, in
truth, the Prussian Court placed upon the affair of
Captain Macdonald the mildest interpretation
allowed by law, and merely inflicted upon him a
small pecuniary fine. Those whose signatures
were affixed to the offensive protest have been, it
is true, condemned by the judge, but they have
escaped punishment, because the Royal Amnesty of
the 12th of January of this year has affected them.
Finally, the Prussian Government, which did all
in its power to shorten the time of Captain Macdo-
nald's confinement, has expressed without reserve to
the British Government its regret for the occur-
rence itself. How, in so clear a case, the Prussian
Government can be reproached with having ne-
glected to ,do what wai incumbent on it us a great
Power, and as a Government in friendly relations
with England, even Lord-Palmerston's speech has
not succeeded in showing.
" When this distinguished statesman makes men-
tion of me in terms for which I cannot but be per-
sonally grateful to him—when he makes appeal to
my knowledge of the mode of thought and habits
of the English people—l cannot before all things
repress the observation that during the several
years of residence in England which my official
position afforded me, nothing filled me with greater
admiration than the sense of right and law which
is everywhere firmly rooted in the English people,
and which is also manifested in respect for judicial
sentences. I cannot suppose that the English people
will deny this respect to the sentence of Prussian
judges, in a case where, in the person of an English-
man, a violation of the laws of the country in which
he has been residing had to be punished, and where
the legal advisers of the English Crown themselves
acknowledge that the proceedings have been in
accordance with the laws of the land.

"In carrying out the laws of the country, the
judicial condemnation of the subjects of another
appears to me not to be a circumstance which should
disturb the mutual relation of two Governments, a
close friendly union between which is in the interest
of both. I cannot, however, conceal from myself
that accusations of such a kind as those which Lord
Palmerston, without ground or justification, has
raised against the Government and the laws of
Prussia, are well calculated to excite in the Prus-
sian people an ill feeling against a Government, the
leader of which has no hesitation in designating the
condition of Prussia as lamen'able. If such an ill-
feeling should result in an alienation of the Govern-
ments of Prussia and England—which I should
deplore in the highest degree—le Prussian Govern-
ment would at least bear no blame in the disturb-
ance of the good understanding with England,
which it has always honestly la')oured to foster and
promote.
" I beg your Excellency to read the present
despatch to Lord John Russell, and to deliver to
him a copy of it.
(Signed)
" Berlin, May 1, 1861.
" To his Excellency Count Bernstorff,
London."
