But what could be said OF the great silver an
gel. weighing three hundred and fifty pounds; or
IF The statue of Louis XIII. presenting golden
one of his son, of the weight of twenty.four
pounds; or of the silver kneeling statue, about
three feet high. and silver tower. sent BY the
brother Of the Prince of Condo after ms release
from prison
No less credible is the story OF the Casa then
that Of the furniture said to have been transport

evils but the story goes that they are not dmin-
ishcd. a miraculous restoration being constantly
made. A crrcifx is one of the objects most
talked about, because II is said TO have been three
times miraculousy restored to its place alter
three removals.
But the reader must not imagine that ne mas
heard the whole amount of the treasures OF the
Santassi.na Case. So far from 1t, they have not
vet been reached by our description. All that
| has been hitherto noticed, and much more That
we cannot name, belong TO the decorations
| merely. As for the treasures, no one that
| know OF has for ages pretended 10 estimate thel
value, or even to approximate u. "A mere ist Of
the principal objects contained IN seven large
c,ses and twer,tv-four smaller ones are spfnc!ent

as silver images and chandeliers; plans Of cities
and provinces in silver, challces OF gold and Sill
vcr, vases OF rich crystal, diamond crosses,
crowns &c, and large single diamonds OF I'M
mense value
Thus far our extracts from the American in
Itslv.' II is not wonderful that such treasure,
in such an exposed situation, should have been
in danger. 1t was taken TO Rome in Bonapar.e's
time, but aftcrward restored.
FREE AND EASY Morals OF THE RlSc.-A dis
pute occurred recently among the horSe.racing
gentry of England, the settlement Of which has
developed some very ediiylng facts respecting the
sporting aristocracy. A horse was entered and
won the rsce-on the Epson course we believe
under the name Of another horse Of superior
age The cheat was discovered and exposed by
Lord Ben,inck, and the upshot of the matter was
that instead of referring the decision to the
| Jockey Club, it was taken 70 Court by the owner
of the horse which came out second best. The
verdict was in his favor. A part of the testimony
is very peculiar. 1t is thus exposed and CON-
men,cd upon By the London Punch. When We
hear any abuse hereafter from Bntish sources OF
| American III 4nDers and morals, we shall bear III

TOLERANCE OF THE BETTING RING-The Bet

dencc of Lord George Bentinck-like the Internal
ring described by braiDless skulls IN Der Fries

too black to step into it. Rank and virtue, too,
put off their dignity IN that magic circle; and,

Button has called the domestcaton of the
horse the nobest conquest of man. The horse
itsclf-maynifccnt animal has It's glorious trl-
umphs over the preludices and artificial dignity
of human nature. For now it brings all sorts of
men together. How, when It's merits are the
theme, does it make men forget the distinctions
of society, mixing up, in familiar family in
tercoufse, the titled and the untitled, the law
makers and the law-breakers, men of gold and
men of straw, the blushless brigands OF the town
and the pattern persons who make up the noble
world
Pleasant, too is it to mediate on a Lord Ben
tick, touched by equine influence, and dealing
in horse flesh like any brother with Glynde, the
baker, who true to old associations, takes odds
against the miller.
Especially grateful, too, 10 the philanthroPlst
is it to know that, though erriDg man may, for
his unfortunate inquiries, be barred from asso-
ciating with his nicer brotherhood IN the Common

of the noblsmen who deal in horse flesh and lc-
gislation too, we earnestly hope that rascaiity,
unlike the smallpox is not catching. Never
theless, after reading Lord Bentinck's evidence
we cannot but look upon the sporting arlsiocrac,,
in insurance phraseology, as doubly hazardous.
