was yesterday augmented. Among the men taken yes-
terday there is one of immense bulk. The prison at the
Luxembourg retains the same a,pect, being guarded by
a great number of sentinels and police agents. Yester-
day the examining Committee reassembled at the resi-
deuce the Duke Decazes, to continue the supplemen-
tary interrogations."
At the last Chantilly Races, Tontine, a mare belong-
ing to M. Auniont, won the grand prize, beating Jenny,
belonging to Lord H. Seymour. The race was one of
great importance, as besides the stakes there were bets
depending upon it to the amount of 400,000 f., of which
90,003 f. had been laid by Lord Henry. His Lordship,
before the settlement day, believed that he had discovered
that the mare entered as Tontine bred in France, -was,
in fact, Heroida, by Aaron out of the Young Election
mare, bred in England by Mr. Stirling of Battersea,
and therefore claimed the prize, and insisted upon being
the winner and not the loser or the bets made by him.
The case was first referred to the Jockey Club, which,
under the presidency of the Prince de in Mosliowa, de-
clared that there were no proofs that the pedigree given
to Tontine was false, and, therefore, confirmed the deci-
sion given by the Stewards of the races. Lord IL Sey-
mour, however, still believed that he was right, and
commenced proceedings before the Tribunal de Premiere
Instance, requiring it to ascertain by means of the
" Racing Calendar," the "Stud-book," and other autho-
rities acknowledged in England, the ttutli and validity
of his objection. After taking time for consideration,
the Tribunal yesterday delivered its judgment, declaring
that the documents laid before it were sufficient to es-
tablish the eorrcetne:s of the pedigree given to Tontine,
n 1, therefore, gave judgment against Lord 11. Seymour,
and ordered his Lordship to pay the costs of all parties.

CORN-LAW SIMULTANEOUS
MEETINGS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

have been a constant reader of your Paper for
some years, and very much approve of the able manner
in which you advocate the abolition of the unrighteous
Corn-laws. I was particularly gratified by your expose
on Monday last, of Ar. Christopher's plan for altering
the present law, and givini, us one still more stringent
and iniquitous. I sincerely hope that his miserable
quibbles and subterfuges, worthy of his great leader,
may be seen through by all true Reformers and Re-
pealers.
Parliament meet on the 3d of next month ; would it
not be desirable to have a simultaneous meeting on the
same day of all the parishes of London, or even England,
Scotland, and Ireland, to petition against these unjust
and iniquitous laws ?
The meetings should be held, say at seven in the
evening, to enable men of business and working men to
attend. Union in a good cause is strength, and must
and will be irresistible.

Two objects would be obtained by these meetings ;
first, we could in the course of a few hours, obtain more
than a million of 'signatures to the petitions ; and,
secondly, the meetings could not be materially interrupted
by the misguided Chartists.
I do not use the language of the Tory Times, and call
these men "a set of unprincipled scoundrels," though I
cannot but consider them as misguided, and acting most
wickedly and cruelly towards their suffering fellow-
labourers. In London, a few hundred of these men in-
terrupt the proceedings of public meetings, as they will
go from Lambeth to Marylebone for this avowed pur-
pose ; but if meetings be held simultaneously in all
parishes, their interruption would be comparatively
feeble and harmless. Will you offer this suggestion to
your fellow-labourers in the Liberal cause 7—Your
obedient servant, A WHIG REFORMER.
