In the French Chamber of Peers on Wednesday some dis-
cussion took place relative to the department of Foreign
Affairs, and M. Guizot gave some explanations concerning
the negotiations on the Right of Search. In the course of
the sitting, the conduct of the Marquis de Boissy was such
as to draw down on the Noble Peer the marked disapproba-
tion of the Chamber. This very amusing Peer moved that
the Chamber should insert in its minutes that he had been
called to order, which was readily granted.by acclamation.
In the course of the debate on the supplies of the War De-
partment, the Prince de la Moskowa addressed some questions
to M. Guizot relative to the affairs of Morocco. M. Guizot
replied,
that in the present state of the relations with Dlo-
rocco he could not enter into any explanation on the subject.
He would merely, he said, repeat his former declaration, that
the Government entertained no desire of aggrandisement on
that side.

A report prevailed in Paris that the Emperor of Morocco
had been deposed and Abd-el-Kader elevated to his throne.

to the French ultimatum delivered by Mr. Drummond Hay.

companied by her mother and sister, went to the cathedral,
where a grand mass was performed.
At Madrid the heat was excessive, the thermometer on the
25th having risen to 34 of Reaumur, or about 108 of

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RA( ES.
- :ESTERDAY.

Five races for the g,,ntlimen, and four for the profes-
sional jockeys, made up an ample bill of fare for the
fourth and last day of a meeting, that to the fullest ex-
tent has realised all that we had expected from it in the
way of sport, it attracted a better company than usual at
the fag end of the week, and the weather being favour-
able, went off with uncommon eclat. Owing to the de-
lays of the gentleman riders, the first race, which was
fixed for half-past twelve, was not run until nearly one.
It came off as follows :
The Bathyany Stakes of 5 sovs. each ; three yrs, 9st
121 b ; four yrs, 1 tst 71b ; five yrs, 12st 21b ; 6 yrs

Watty, 4 yrs-Mr. H.- Johnstone's Easingwold, aged.
5 to 2 agat Naworth, 3 to I agst Daft Watty, and
4 to 1 each agst Elysium and Mechanic.
Mechanic made nearly all the running, Naworth fol-
lowing three or four lengths behind him, until they got

into straight running, when he drew upon him, reached
him at the distance, ran with him head and head to the
Chair, and enabled the Judge to pronounce it a dead
heat. • Elysium was a bad third.
Deciding heat.—Even betting. Naworth won by a
length.

fillies, Bst 71b each; the second to receive 100 sovs. out

Even on Princess, 2 to 1 agst Zenobia, 5 to 1 agst
Barricade, and 6 to 1 agst All-round-my-Hat.
The running was made by Pergularia for three-quar-
ters of a mile, followed by Zenobia and All-round-my-
Hat ; Zenobia then went in front, and, with All-round-
my-Hat and The Princess laid up, carried the running
on to the distance, where All-round-my-Hat headed her,
and The Princess taking the second place, a fine rate
between the three from the weighing stand in terminated
in favour of All-round-my-Hat by half a length, Zenobia

Croton Oil made play at a good pace, attended by
Khorassan and Poison, to the turn, where the Knight-of-
the-Whistle lost the second place, which he held to the
distance ; here, on Croton Oil's retirement, he took up
the running, Pompey, who had hitherto laid off, follow-
ing him. At the stand the two singled themselves out,
and ran a splendid race home, the Knight winning only
by a head; Poison third, and the Pride of Kildare fourth.

waiting on them. At the top of the hill, however, he
resumed his lead, carried the running to the end, and
won in a canter by three lengths, Parthian, who was in

Lord Rosslyn's Elemi
6 to 4 on Walpole, who made all the running and won
by a length.
Some complaints were conveyed to us on the course,
and alluded to in our report of Wednesday's pro-
ceedings, of the delay which had taken place, in
conveying the passengers by the South-Western
Railway via Farnham to the course. But, on inquiry,
we find, that the Railway Company were not to
blame, having invariably performed their distance within
the time stipulated, namely, three hours. It was
in the journey from Fareham to Goodwood time
was lost. The distance is four and twenty miles, the
latter part of the journey through the park, being up
a long and precipitous hill ; and this, with stoppages,
even with the best teams, could scarcely be performed
in much less than three hours—a period which, from
the early hour at which the races commenced, half-past
twelve, necessarily led to one or two races being dis-
posed of before the travellers could by any possibility
arrive. In future years it may be desirable to start a
special train at six instead of seven o'clock.

EXECUTION AT LINCOLN.—This morning (Friday)
at 12 o'clock, the unfortunate woman Eliza Joice, suffered
the extreme penalty of the law on the new drop, for the
wilful murder of her two children, Eliza and Ann Joice, at
Boston, in this county, by administering to them laudanum.
It being market-day she was launched into eternity amidst
upwards of 5,000 spectators.
THE HOUSE or COMMONS.—lmmediately after the
adjournment of Parliament, Bellamy's-rooms, the vote-
office, and a considerable portion cf the lobby are to be
pulled down to afford room for the improvements about to be
commenced for the approach to St. Stephen's Hall. The an-
cient crypt of St. Stephen's Chapel is to be cleared and en-
tirely restored, that part of the former Houses of Parliament
not having received any considerable injury when those
Houses were destroyed by fire some years back. The clois-
ters, remarkable for what remains of their original architec-
tural beauty, as well as the crypt, are intended to be restored
to their primitive state.
