IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSiFoir LORDS.—TuvasDAY, Ammer t The Low (aIIANCILLOR took his mat on the woolsack at 11 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Imperial Gas Company (No. 3) ; the North Brit ish Fray Bridge) Railway, and the Caledonian and Scottish North Eastern Railway Companies Bills were read a third time and passed. JAMAICA. • The Earl of ROMNRY, adverting to the late disturb emcee in Jamaica and the report of the royal commisaioners in reference to them, asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether her Majesty's ministers agreed in the main with their predecessors in office on the subject, and whether they had taken or contemplated taking any steps open the Lord CMIRVON, in reply, pointed out the diffi culties col:meted with the question. It was admitted, he said, that vigorous measures were justifiable and necessary far the repression of the disorders that took place, but it must also be admitted that some eases of cruelty, op pression, and injustice bad oocuned. With respect to the military °fames against whom charges had been made,the commissioners had mentioned three whose conduct they considered should undergo further investigation. Provost- Marshal Homey wasnowOn trial inJamaicafor murder,and Ensign Cullen and Dr. Morris would be tried by courts-mar tial oompossd of officers who were unconnected with the late proceedings in Jamaica. Sir J. Grant, the Governor, had been instructed by the late government to ascertain whether there were any civilians whose conduct demanded further inquiry, and the present government had also directed his attention to that point. Sir J. Grant had also been instructed to examine the cases of those who had been sentenced to heavy punishments for ticipation in the riots, with a view to ascertain whether & mitigation might not be prudently made. Of Governor Eyre's conduct Lord Canary= remarked that while he had displayed the vigour and promptitude in the repression of the rebellion with which it was his duty to act, yet he bad been wanting in sound judgment, and bad , under the influence of panic, permitted the un necessary prolongation of martial law, which had been the cause of most of the mischief that subsequently occurred. AI the same time it would be preposterous to hold that Mr. Eyre hod been guilty of murder in the case of Gordon (although the execution upon the evidence adduced was moat indefensible), as he acted bond fide, and his want of judgment and discretion had entailed upon him his recall, which was in itself a very heavy penalty. Foil RUSSELL concurred in the opinion expressed by the commiesioners with r esp ect to the trial and execution of Mr. Gordon, and he only wished to say on behalf of theists government, that they all thought the report of the commissioners not only a very able one, but that it judged impartially between the conduct of Governor Eyre and all other persons who came under their notice. The report praised Governor Byre for his promptitude and extreme readiness in putting down an incipient insurrec tion, and he (the noble earl) saw no ground for indicting Governor Eyre for murder, although at the same time he deplored the undue severity he bad exercised. me Earl of CARNARVON said that so far as he un derstood the verdict of the commissioners was entirely ac cepted by the government He understood the commis- Menem to say that Gordon was not proved to be guilty of complicit in this insurrection, and that be was executed upon evi which was wholly insufficient. In that °pi nyon he entirely concurred. Lord HOUGHTON asked whether the government were Marto entertain the question of compensation to the eTs d of those who had suffered. The Earl of CARNARVON said the question of com pensation was shackled with the difficulty, that corn pansaties must come either out of the consolidated fund in this country or from the colonial revenues. The question of compensation out of the consolidated fund was rather one for the consideration of the other house of parliament, and he doubted whether the people of this country would be disposed to make any grant on that account. So far as the colonial revenues were concerned, he feared that only a very poor account could be given of them, and it would require the utmost efforts of Sir John Grant to make both ends meet. The revenue itself had declined, and it would probably be a keg time before any considerable allowance could be made from that quarter. It must be borne in mind that the question of compensation was in itself most difficult, in consequence of the fraudulent claims which would be set up the mo ment the subject was mooted. He should, however, be sorry to say that the government would not entertain the question of compensation. Much must depend upon Sir John Grant's report. THE STATE OF HYDE-PARK. The Earl of DERilisa:idtitail;tela;;;;ight he had re ceived a notice from the noble earl opposite (Earl Russell) of his intention to ask a question relative to the etc to of Hyde-park. The subject was one of considerable import ance, and he would feel obliged to the noble earl if he would postpone his question until to-morrow, inasmuch as be had not had an opportunity of conferring with the Secretary of State for the Home Department and with the department of the Woods and Forests, and the noble earl was aware that the park was under the control of the • latter, and not of the Home-office. Earl RUSSELL was quite ready to postpone his question Instil to-morrow COURT OF SESSION (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill passed through committee. The Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Brill and the Poor- law Amendment BEI were read a second time. THAMES NAVIGATION BILL. This bill passed through committee, and, standing orders 37 and 38 being suspended, was reed a third time and passed. ----- • ABERDEEN PROVISIONAL ORDER CONFIRKA- TION BILL. This bill via reed a second time. METROPOLITAN COMMONS BILL The report of amendments was received. The following bills passed through committee:—Local Government Supplemental (No. 2), Local Government Supplemental (No. 3), Land Drainage Supplemental (No. 2), and Railway Companies Securities Bills.

The Public Health Bill, and the Reformatory Schools and the Industrial Schools Bills were brought up and severally read a first time. Their lordships adjourned at 20 minutes to 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuresneY, Aro. 2. The SPIALeII took the chair et four o'clock. PRIVATX BILLS. The following bills were read a third time and passed Ardmore Harbour Bill, Belgravia and South Kensington New-road Bill, DeLamle Railway and &whiney Harbour Bill, Limerick and Castle Conrail Railvny Bill, Market Bosworth School BM, Pagham Harbour Bill, Shells' Almshouses Charity Bill, South Essex Railway Bill, and Brighton West Pier Bill. THE METRICAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURE 3. Mr. J. B. SMITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he was aware there was a bill before the Congress of the United St: tes of America to adopt the metrical system 0: weights and measures ; and, seeing that the metrical ' , idea was in use in France, Belgium, Hol land, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Italy, and that Russia bad intimated her intention ciao to adopt it if Eng land adopted it, whether, with the view to facilitate the growing intercourse between the nations of the world, the noble lord would take the opportunity of returning peace in Europe to invite a congress of nations to consider the practicability of adopting an international system of moneys, weights, and measures. Lord STANLEY said he understood there was a bill of the kind referred to before Congress, but whether it had been passe) or rejected, or was still in suspense, he did not know. With regard to the second part of the gum- tion, he (Lord Stanley) had long been ui favour of the adoption of the metrical system, which he believed to be thslaest and moat convenient; but he could not be blind to the fact that immense difficulty existed in the way of introducing such a system into a country like this. He thought it would be very long before the hon. gentleman would find that system accepted in England. It was ob vious until we were prepared to adopt such a system our selves, that it would be utterly useless to call a congress with a view to press upon other countries the adoption of this system. THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the mission of Mr. Remain to the Emperor of Abyrtinia had not at present only resulted in the detention of himself and two other gentlemen who accompanied him, Lieutenant Prideaux, of the Indian army, and Dr. Blanc, without obtaining the final liberation of the other prisoners. And whether in dealing with the ease of Mr. Flail, who had been allowed to come over under hostage to return, endeavours would be made to offer some adequate inducement to the Emperor Theodore, which should take effect only when the prisoners should be de livered into safe custody at Massowah or elsewhere. Lord STANLEY said it was unfortunately true that Mr. Bassam and the other two gentlemen named in the Rues tion just put were still detained by the King of Abvsnnia. By the latest accounts he understood that the 7 were not kept in confinement, although they were detained in the country and not allowed to leave it. The other day the hon. member had put a question which was not now upon the paper, relative to the alleged illtreatment of the prisoners. On this subject, he (Lord Stanley) might say that according to the latest accounts that bad been received the government had no knowledgeof implode acts; it would rather appar that so far es was compatible with their de tention the prisoners had personally been well treated. Mr. Flail had come over to this country, having his family behind. He (Lord Stanley) bad seen Mr. Fled and another gentleman who was well acquainted with the country, and they had endeavoured to arrenge for semis such inducement as the ben. patina= referred to, te be offered to the Kingof Abyssinia to procure the final release of the prisoners. Kr. Flad would return as 800 Q as the darts allowed, but se the rainy meow was about to net THE EXPR E SS, _FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1866,. in, he would not be able to start until the beginning of September. THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN HOLLAND. Mr. BAZLEY asked whether hex Majesty's government were in posseedon ottnformation from the Dutch govern ment, and, also from the British minister at the Hague, that no disease whatever existed in the sheep of the whole of the Netherlands ; and wbether sheep from that country might not forthwith be introduced Into the United King dom to be slaughtered for food. Mr. CORRY said it was true that there was no disease amongst the sheep, but the plague existed amongst the cattle in two provinces, and gave no indication whatever of diminishing. it was known by experience that sheep were not only susceptible of the disease, but that they could =Ty the infection though not themselves diseased. Under the circumstances, therefore, the government did not consider it prudent to permit the importation of sheep from Holland. volunteers. He *tinted to Canada as a proof that Irish men when well governed were orderly and loyal ; and de scribed Fenianiam as a communistic attempt at rebellion, pillage and murder, the most dangerous feature of which was that the well-to-do fanners in the south sympathised with it, and would join the movement en muse on the first gnomes. Passing to the remedial measures which should be introduced, he repudiated the " cuckoo "of " identical institutions," and insisted that the es ntent—srith which successive governments bad been prevented from dealing by the bigotry of Scotch and English members—should be reformed, and if this were delayed too long it would be abolished, the Ecclesiastical Titles Act repeal ed, and Trinity College thrown open to men of all re • cos. He recommended, also, the substitution either of a royal prince or a royal residence for the Lord-Lieutenant, an official of no power or authority ; and a settlement of the I land question. Admitting that the winter could hardly be got through without some measure for dealing with the American agents, he declined to entrust these large powers to the present government, and in support of this he com mented on the declarations and the surroundings of various members of it. In Mr. Disraeli's knowledge of the Irish question, and in his ability to deal with it, were he not trammelled by the bucolic respectability behind him, he had the fullest trust, and, in concluding a witty end effective speech, he called on him to initiate a policy which, though it might shock a faction, would regenerate a people. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. Walsh). after some preliminary remarks in defence of Trinity College and the landlords of Ireland, repeated that these extraordinary powers were absolutely necessary to enable the government to deal with the 300 desperadoes remaining in the gaols, and who, unions this bill were passed, would in three weeks be let loose in Ireland. These men were the very worst of all the prisoners ; they were adven turers who had returned from America after the war, or from the great towns of England, and they had not been released only because they could find no one to be security for their good behaviour, or refused to leave the coun try. To show that the virulence of Fenianism had not abated, he related the particulars of several recent assaults committed in Dublin, and, while advocating for Ireland a comprehensive policy which would foster industry and enterprise, be deprecated the revival of perennial agitation, and the introduction into the debate of so wide a range of irritating topics. After some remarks from Sir J. Gray and Mr. Watkin in support of the resolutions, and from Mr. Pim in sup port of the bill, Mr. M'Laren defended the Scotch mem bers from the charge of bigotry brought against them by Mr. B. Osborne, and on a division Mr. Magnire's resole ' tions were rejected by 105 to 31. The bill was then read a mooed time. The other orders were disposed of, and the haute ad journed at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock. I 1 titt6 lutelli-once. EQUITY COURTI3.—ArousT (Before the Lords Justioes.) az NATIONAL PROVINCIAL RAVINGS BARR. - In this case the Muter of the Rolls had made an order fora oompuLory Winding up on the petition of a share her whose shares were fully paid up. The company had passed resolutions for a voluntary winding up, and a P C. 3frAL Seiwyn, 4.0., and Mr. Cotterill for the appellants ,• Mr. Regional, Q.C. 7 and Mr. J. N. Higgins in support of the radar ; the questions being, first, whether • shareholder cans were all paid up could petition under the act ; and secondly, whether the resolutions pawed by the com pany were regular. Their Lordships were of opinion, on the construction of the statute, that a sharehol whom shares were all paid up could obtain a winding-up order, and that the main time were irregular, and desired the appeal. COURT OF BANKRINTCY.—AuotraT 2. (Before Mr. Commissioner Hohoyd.) IN as ZDNUND O'BOUSILZ. This was an adjourned sitting for examination and die charge. The bankrupt, the celebrated comedian, better known under the name of Falconer, had until reordly been one of the lessees of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane. He attributes his inability to meet kis engagements to disputes with Mr. F. B. Chattel ton, his late pat :, - rer, and to looses sustained in the management of the theatre. It would appe.z that the bankrupt owes • ram of 3,0751. upon his separate accourt, of which 2,4471. is due to un secured creditor, and there are also liabilities of 4,9091, jointly with Mr. Chatterton. The asse:i are returned at 9,446/., of which a sum of 9,2961. represents a debt al'eged to be due irate Mr. Chatterton, but which that gentleman wholly repudie Mr. 8..7,1ey supported the bankrupt ; Mr. R. Griffiths was counsel for a creditor. Mr. Reed, on behalf of the assignees, said that the bank nip: bad for some years past been one of the lessees of Drury-lane Theatre, and it appeared that his liabilities had been principally incurred in connexion with the lesseeship of that place of amusement. Although the debts amounted to some thousands of pounds, the assets were not expected to naffs* • very large sum. The estate oompri.ad a number of manuscripts, dames, plays, and comedic', which Mr. Falconer had written front time to time, but which had not yet been delivered up. The value of the works would depend in a great measure upon the public taste, or the favour which might hereafter be bestowed upon them, and whether say one would be disposed to purchase them. The learned counsel proceeded to state that the attention of the • eft had been particularly directed to • statement of the pt that a large sum of money was due to him from his late partner, Mr. Chatterton. The assignees had accordingly felt it their duty to inquire into the feels, and with the assistance of an able accountant they had closely investigated the books, and had come to the conclusion that there was no foundation whatever for the claim on Mr. Chatterton ; on the contrary, that there was • con siderable balance in that gertleman's favour. He felt it was only due to Mr. Chatterton to state that he had come forward in a most prompt and commendable way, and by producing his books and vouchers had rendered the assignees very great assistance in the inquiry which had been made. There was no doubtfthat Mr. Falconer in making the claim had done so under misapprehension, and as he had suffered • lengthened imprisonment, it was probable that he had laboured under great mental excitement, and he bad since obtained leave to remove from the proceedings the objec tionable statements he had made in reference to Mr. Chat terton. Many of the debts upon which Mr. Chatterton was jointly liable bad been discharged by that gentleman, who, he was informed, was now carrying on the theatre, and be believed that eventually the bankrupt's separate engagements only, to the amount of about 3.000/., would re main unsatisfied. The assignees had taken into considera tion the peculiar profession to which the bankrupt had be longed—his success having been dependent upon public whim) and favour, the procuring of a great combination of talent, and a variety of other circumstances, and they did not desire to offer any opposition to his passing his last examination, and receiving an order of discharge. Mr. Griffiths, on behalf of Mr. Hall, a creditor, did not desire to oppose the bankrupt any further. The state ment relative to Mr. Chatterton, and the existence of a large claim upon that gentleman, had attracted Mr. Hall's attention, but it having been withdrawn, he did no. feel disposed to take a hostile course against the bank rupt, who appeared to have been unfortunate in his con nection with Drury-lane Theatre. Mr. Bagley, who supported, said that he did not intend to lengthen the proceedings. Whether the statement with regard to Mr. Chatterton was correct or incorrect, provoked or unprovoked, it was, at all events, irrelevant, and Mr. Falconer bad, therefore, acted very rightly in withdrawing it, as by doing so he had removed a cause of complaint. He apprehended that the order would be granted. Mr. Lewis, the solicitor to the assignees, mentioned, for the information of the court, that proceedings in Chan cery were still pending between the bankrupt end Mr. Chatterton. His Honour said that the bankrupt had been engaged in a vyieculative profession, the source from which he expected to pay has debts being probably well known ; and, subject to the filing of au explanatory memorandum in reference to Mr. Chatterton, the last examination would be passed, and the order of discharge allowed. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. In answer to Major Hinman, Sir S. NORTHCOTE could not say that his attention had been officially directed to the London, Chrthain, and Dover Railway, but he had learned from the usual mimes of information that that very important line was in a very peculiar position, and that, in point of fact, a receiver had been appointed by the Court of Chancery. The agent of the company had called upon him the other day, and had in vited his attention to a clause which was proposed to be inserted in a bill at present before the House of Lords, the effect of which would be to enable the company to raise by preferential shares a sum of morey which would be sufficient to cover the amount now owing with respect to land which it bad purchased. According to his account, there was a large amount of land which the company had bought, but which it had not paid for, and for which it was indebted to the extent of 700,000 i. If the landowners could not get their money it was sug gested that they might exercise their right of taking pos• session of the property, for which they bad not been paid, and u the land happened to be material to the whole un dertaking, connected as it chiefly wao with the Metropolitan Extension Company such a step would be inconvenient to the public and prejudicial to those who were connected with other portions of the line. The company, through its agent, ask e(1 whether the Board of Trade did not consider that that clause would be desirable, as it would give the means at raising the neeessery money and enable it to carry out its works ; and whether it would not be ad vantageous both to the public and to the share and debenture holders, because the receiver after providing for the working expenses would be bound to apply the surplus revenues to pay off the percentage money of this land ; an object which mould take him several years to accomplish. The Board of Trade were of opinion that such an arrangement as was suggested, if it could be carried into effect, would bee desirable one ; but be (Sir S. Nortbeote) had sine* been informed that an objection had been raised to the clause. He did not know what was its nature ; but he believed that whatever arrangement was adopted there was little dooht that the traffic of the line would be continued. Whether it was carried on under arrangements convenient to the public or not, he did not apprehend that there would be any stoppage of the line. (Hear, hear.) THE CHOLERA. Captain VIITLiN called attention to an application reported that morning which bad been made by Mr. Willes, the health offloer of St. Botolph's, to Mr. Paget for an order to destroy certain clothing and bedding in a room where there had been three virulent cares of cholera, two of which had proved fatal ; and asked the Home Secretary whether he could issue an order is aid of the magistrate who bad stated that he was powerless to enforce the direc tions of the Privy Council. Mr. WALPOLE said that if he could do so he would ; but he was afraid that he could not interfere in the matter. A bill would, however, shortly come before the house which would give the authorities much greater powers than they now possessed. THE HYDE-PARK RIOTS. Mr. MILL presented the petition adopted at the meeting in the Agricultural-hall, complaining of the exclusion of the public from Hyde-park on Monday week, and praying the house to institute an Inquiry into the conduct of the Chief Commissioner of Police, and of the police generally. Colonel 8. KNOX begged to ask the hon. gentleman whether a letter which appeared in that mornings paper from Mr. Beale' was genuine ; and if so, whether he Gould inform the house who the " public leaden" mentioned in it were. Mr. hIILL—I am not in the least degree authorised to make any communication t) the house on behalf of the Reform League, of which I am not even a member ; and I beg to refer the hon. gentleman to those who are members, and particularly to Mr. Beales himself. (Cheers and laughter.) CHURCH RATES. Mr. NEWDBGATE gave notice that, unless the govern ment itself did so, he would next :session ask leave to bring in a bill for the commutation of church rates. THE REFORMATORY SCHOOLS BILL On the order for the third r.zding of this The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there was an understanding that the Habeas Corpus Bill should commence the business of this evening, but he regretted that owing to the very great pressure of business the government had not been able to fulfil that engagement. The hon. member for Cork had, in the most obliging manner, allowed them to go on with the Pubho Health Bill, under the impression that it would not take up much time, but now that that bill was disposed of he would move, if the hon. gentleman wished it, that the orders 2,3, and 4 be postponed until a later hour in the evening. At the same time he would remind the hon. gentleman that it would be very convenient to advance those bills a stage at once. (Cries of " Bear, hear," and " Go on" and amongst the voices was that of Mr. Maguire.) The bill was then read a third time and passed. THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL The amendments to this b'll were considered and aimed to, and the bill was afterwards read a third time and pulsed. THE PATRIOTIC FUND BILL The house went into committee on this bill. The various clauses were agreed to, and the bin se amended reported to the house. HABEAS CORPUS (IRELAND) ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. Lord NAAS moved the second reading of the bill for fur idler suspending the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, assuring the house that nothing but the belief of its abso lute necessity would have induced the government to ask for a continuance of these extraordinary powers, which had been so boldly and prudently used by the late govern ment that they had produced • great sense of @acuity among the loyal and well-disposed portion of the commu nity. Altogether '730 persons had been arrested, and 320 were still in custody, who must he discharged uncondi tionally on the Ist of September if this act were allowed to expire. The government desired to deal with these men in a spirit of forgiveness, but before discharging them desired to have these powers continued, so that they might take securities from them that they would leave the country and engage no more in their treasonable designs. To show that Fenianism was not yet extinct, he pointed to the mid on Canada and recent meetings in the United States, and mentioned that within a very recent period drillings bad been going on in various parts of Ireland. It was hoped that when, by the continuance of these powers, the American agents were driven and kept out of the country, the people would at last become awake to the hopelessness of this conspiracy. Lord Naas next adverted to Mr. Meguire's resolutions, expressing s modified concurrence in some of them—in any other sense but as an amendment to this Bill—but dwelling chiefly on the last two, which point to liberal legislation as the true cure for Irish ills. He pointed out that the Fenian agitation was not directed against any causes which could be remedied by legislation ; that the Fenian repudiated the authority of the Roman catholic church, and contemplated a general confiscation of the land, so that no change in the established church or in the tenure of land could content them. That, however, he assured the house, would make no difference in the earnest desire of the government to introduce and promote any legislation which might be advantageous to Ireland. Mr. MAGUIRE moved a string of resolutions affirming that the circumstances of Ireland have changed since the ect was first passed, that the supremacy of the law had been sufficiently vindicated by the ordinary tribunals, that political excitement bad faded away, and recommending a liberal and remedial policy instead of repressive mea sures. He asserted that there were not above 50 men now in prison who would not gladly give any assurance in their power to get out, that Fenianism was dying out both in America and Ireland, and referred to the records of the aseises to show that crime was greatly onthe decrease. After dilating at great length on the land question, which he as serted lay at the root of the difficulty, he exhorted the go vernment to come forward next session with lugs and libe ral measures of conciliation. Mr. GLADSTONE, agreeing with Mr. Maguire that the land question was the chief canes of Irish evils, and shar ing in the desire to see it justly settled at the earliest moment, supported the bill, pointing out that in former cases the powers now asked had generally been taken for a longer period than six months, and expressing a confi dent belief that they would be exercised in • lenient spirit. In discussing Mr. Maguire's resolutions be pro nounced a glowing eulogium on the good faith of the American government during the late raid on Canada, and an equally vigorous denunciation of the malig nant wickedness of that enterprise ; and, while agreeing in the general spirit of the resolutions, be argued that they were no reply to this demand of the government. The members of the late government, having consulted together, were of opinion that had they remained in office it would have been their duty to make a similar request; consequently they were ready to take then share of responsibility for this measure. The bill was opposed by Sir G. Bowyer, Mr. O'Beirne, and Mr. Dillon, who argued that no sufficient ease of urgency had been made out, and supported by Sir F. Heygate who believed that it would bring about a feeling of conh aicnca which would induce a return of English capital to the country. Hr. OSBORNE shamed the condition of Ireland on English legislation, and particularly on the measures of rirdi which had been adopted, and taunted the ' government with not daring to call out the NINA w pat alma in the hands a Irish *parting fatalism,. GOODWOOD RACM.—THVEADAY. The Cup day Is always regarded as the moat interesting of the Goodwood week, inasmuch as that occasion is invariably patro nised by a very large and exceptionally brilliant company. We have already mentioned the fact of the meeting being inaugu rated by moat disagreeable weather, and it remains for us to state that the morning of Thursday wan equally unpropitious, continuous rain falling till het-past 18, when the weather im proved, but the afternoon remained cloudy until Mat before the race for the Cup, when the son shone forth, and the remainder of the day was very &rant and enjoyable. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princes of Wales, Duke of Edinburgh, Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Edward of Sase Weimer arrived just as the sport commenced, and the company, both on the Stand and lawn, was very numerous, the display of feminine beauty surpassing either of the previews days, notwith standing the miserable aspect of the morning. The Cup was de prived of a goad deal of the Interest =milk attached to such a valuable prize by the withdrawal of Gladiateur and Regalia last week, and the field was further reduced by the scratching of Windham on Tuesday, Cambtuican on Wednesday and Janitor at 12.10 yesterday (Thursday). During the morning a canard was afloat respecting The Duke, who, it was rumoured, would not start, and just before the sport commenced as mock as lento 8 was offered against him, odds off to 4 being laid on Tournialin. Rut while many were anticipating the announcement of the withdrawal of the horse, the follower of the Danbury stable backed their champion so freely that he soon became as good a favorrite as Tounnalin, and eventually superseded her in the quotations. The racing commenced at 1 o'clock with the Zet land Stake., which resulted in a match between Wild Briar and Beelzebub, and with odds of 2 to 1 on her the filly won after a gaol race by a head. The Sweepstakes of 200 son. each, for 24.•-old fillies, brought out flee of the ids nominated, and the Wl> , by Parmesan out of Harlequin's dam was so freely backed that odds of 2 to 1 were laid on her before the flag fell, and she won very easily by a length and a half. The Molecomh Stakes, with nine runners, was considered at the mercy of Bismarck, by his running on Wednesday in the Findon Stakes, wherein he was beaten a head only by Pripoluder, but finished in front of Markarian: and as he was meeting Mr. Merry's colt on precisely the same relative term', it certainly looked good enowb to lay odds of 6 to 4 on him, at which price the betting opened , but the bookmakers eventually accepted to 4. The restot of the race, so utterly at variance with the run ding of Marksman on the previous day, created the greatest astonishment, but his owner was not so surprised, as he had in sisted on the previous daythat Marksman was not running within pounds of his correct form. The Cup was the nest race, and five of the seven animals on the card went to the post the absentees being, No. 2 (Broomelaw ) and No. 6 (Janitor), who, es already Sated, was struck out. On the hoistingof the numbers, the Duke became a tremendous favourite at even money while Tourmalin receded to 2 to 1. Monkey was also backed by his noble owner and friends at 6 to 1, but Archimedes and Watchman were supported to- only small amounts. The Duke and Tourmalin were nun Arty scanned by their backers, and their canters were watched with anxiety, but neither in condition nor going could a fault be found. The race Is so tally detailed in the ap pended return of the running that any lengthened comments are unnecesrary. The pace was very slow for a mile and a half, which must have suited the old hones tad the race for the last half mile resolved itself into a match between the Duke and Tourms From the distance a clots contest appeared immi ne it, but the fine speed of the Duke in the last hundred yards • nabled him to cut down his opponent, and amidst tremendous cheers from his bathos, he pe,'ed the port a length in advance of the Baron's filly. The remainder of the racing was Interest ing, but It does not require any mention hers. The fol ' owlag is a return of the running.

Mr. Ribton, who Viii;criiitedlodelend the prisoner Longharst for the murder of Jane Sex at Shire, near Guildford, applied to the court to fix a day for the triaL He said that since he had received his original instructions the prisoner had been committed for the more serious offence of wilful murder, and some of the witnesses he proposed to call were not in attendance. Any day after Friday would be convenient to him. Heron Cheapen said that Saturday had been suggested as a convenient day, but after what occurred in the case of Charlotte Winsor he should certainly not fix a trial for murder on a Saturday. He had been blamed for dis charging the jury in that case on Saturday night, and he was lulu) sure they would not have been very well pleased at being locked up all day on Sunda. It was them arranged that the tria l should be postponed to the beginning of next week. The criminal business is rearly concluded, and it i ex p-cted that to-day, or at all events on Saturday, both courts will be occupied in trying civil causes. It has been arranged that the special jury eases will not be taken until Tuesday morning at ten o clock. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—MAlrcustrrss, Auo. 2. Csowir Courr.—(Before Mr. Justice Lush.) 11111 1110TWOOD roams. Janes Burrows, 18, was indicted for having, at Hopwood (on the mad from Manchester to Rochdale, and near-Rath dale), on the 21st May, killed and murdered John Bren nan an Irishman. )?r. Holker and Mr. Addison appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Torr for the prisoner. The prisoner is the son of Mr. Burrows, a farmer, who keeps the Hopwood Arms Inn. On Saturday, the 19th of I May, Mr. Burrows engaged Brennan to work for Mm. On Sunday, the 20th of May, a man named Henry Clegg was at another public-house, the Jolly Waggoners, only a short distance from the Hopwood Arms, and met the prisoner and Brennan there. Clegg says be saw the pri soner borrow half-a-crown from Brennan, but a few minutes afterwards prisoner paid him back. Next day Clegg again went to the Jolly Waggoners a little before one o'clock at noon. The landlord and the prisoner, and a man named Taylor, who was brewing, were with other company in the tap-room drinking. About three o'clock, when Clegg got up to leave, prisoner proposed to go to Rochdale. Clegg mid he had not money enough to go there, and the prisoner said, " Let us go to Johnny (the deceased) in on field, and borrow Mi l -a-sovereign o ff him," he said they could then go to Blue Pits and take the train to Rochdale. They went towards the fi eld, but Clegg remained behind while the prisoner went and talked with Brennan. He then saw the prisoner and Brennan (who had been ploughing) leave the field, taking the horse with them, and, go towards the Hopwood Arms. He followed and watched them into the stable, and remained waiting for prisoner about twenty minutes. Finding he did not come back he was about to start for Blue Pits alone, when having to pass within ten yards of the stable the prisoner came out and went with him up the high road towards the Jolly Waggoners. Clegg said—" How but thou got on ?" and prisoner said," He would not lend me a halfpenny." Clegg said, " Where is he r and pri soner replied, 'I left him in the stable." When they got to the Jolly Waggoner they went into the tap-room, but the prisoner went on to the brewhouse, and came after wards to the tap-room. He had then got off his collar, necktie, and jacket, and appeared to have been washing. Taylor afterwards came into the tap-mom, and he and the prisoner went out into a field to fight for half a gallon of ale. Taylor made prisoner's nose bleed, and they then came back, and prisoner paid for the ale. About 5 o'clock one of the prisoner's sisters was sent to the stable by her father to give the horse some hay; she found Brennan lying on the stable floor near the home quite dead, with blood on his face. She returned and told her brother that the horse had killed the Irishman. _ The evidence of Taylor, the brewer, was that about 9 or 10 o'clock on the mmwng of the Met May, the prisoner at the Jolly Waggoners borrowed a shilling from MAL He saw Clegg aad the prisoner leave together between three and four o'clock and noticed that they were away about tines-quarters of an hour. When they returned prisoner came into the brewhouse and pve him back the shilling he had borrowed. He then asked withal§ for water to wash In, and being supplied with it be skipped off his jacket, necktie, and collar, sad used Neap and towel Witness raw blood es hie collar, necktie, and bee, sad asked aka whet he WI bums &ft?

He said he bad put it in a hole in the wall where it could never be found till the building was pulled down. Prisoner also said he was afraid of no one except Clegg, and gave as his reason for the crime that Brennan would not lend him any money, and he tool Bs. 6d. from him. After the above conversation prisoner burnt his necktie and collar in the brewhouse fire, and then went into the tap-room. The cane lasted till Intelsat evening when, according to a telegram from our correspondent, The jury found the prisoner Guilty, with a recommenda tion to mercy.
