CONDITION OP IRELAND. - - Moment LIFFORD eon to call the attention of the home to the causes of the present ooadition of Ireland, and fie ask her Majesty's government whether it was their in nation to introduce any Measure into parliament providing for the support of the Roman catholic clergy of Ireland in dependent of the contributions of the people ; and also to move for a return of the parochial clergy of the Roman catholic church in Ireland. distinguishing between thole who were pariah priests and those who were curates. The noble viscount proceeded to contend that it was abso lutely necessary to deal with the land question, end do away with the present sherd system et tesartteright I the north of Ireland. In some respects it had been found necessary to deal ex. emotionally with Ireland, particularly in the case of the Ma church. There were several of their lordships who looked upon the Irish &arch as • reformed trench of the eathobe church, legitimately ialseriting her property, to which a large additional property bed been added since, and with such of their lordships it was not aseemary to argue the question. But they might re. &tribune that property as they liked. They might apply a portion for the purposes of education, and part to other woes ; and ore of the me he (the noble lord) took leave to net Lord be for the support of the Roman catholic clergy. RUSSELL, after re viewing the attempts made by lib. Pitt and others to settle the question of state payments of the Roman catholic priesthood in Ireland, pointed out the difileulthe which presented themselves at the present day to each a course. There was a large body of= who objected to all state endowments far wo purposes, and the Roman catholic clergy them selves were indisposed to a course which would ear. beinly tend to lessen their lellnenee over their looks. The government, therefo did Dot intend to mike shy propnal on that subject. Neither did the go warmest intend so introduce a measure for the purpose d yang any portico of the fends belonging to the eels. • church to educational uses. Adverting to the evils ' h wore DOW emplaned of in Ireland, Lord Russell ✓emarked that some of those evils were of very long stand *, sad it was impossible by measures prised in one seteioa of parliament to remedy the grimness of Ireland sad restore its people to happiness and prosperity. Since 1829 various beneficial MOSOUtOII bad been passed, such se the scheme of national education, the Poor Law, sad the En cumbered Estates Act, sad every disposition had teen evinced by parliament to promote the welfare of Ironed. The Marquis of OLANRIOARDE regretted the toes of the noble earl, as it indicated that Ireland could expect let little from the present parliament. He regretted particularly the decision of the bolds earl In reference to the specific question pot to him by the noble viscount. Be had hoped that the noble earl, who had voted for what wee called one of the wings, would not have given so decided • negative as to the expediency' and porn lily of • state pgovision for the Roman esthetic clergy io Ireland. He had long been of opinion that such • measure wou'd be the best that could be adopted towards Ireland. He believed there was great discontent in Ironed, but little diaffection ; and the people had DO affinity with the Fenian.. To talk of the Irish people as disloyal was sheer aonsease ; their only complaint was that they did not see enough of the Sovereign or her family : when any did go they were welcomed with the utmost enthusiasm. Re quite agreed with the noble lord as to the alined= which existed between the Irish government and the Irish gentry. The magistracy, he believed, were not convened. although the voluntary oommunication of those of Cork caused the Ana step that was taken for the repression of the Fenian move ment. The noble lord bad also alluded to tenant right, but he (Lord Clauricarde) wished to know what it meant—was it confirmation, or was it inereesed facilities for making contracts far land! As to giving the tenant • vested right in the land, that was absurd mid impossible ; bert anything that could be done to fscilitete contracts was a diffetent matter. Something he thought might be done by government with respect to the Irish railways, and it was not fair to leave them altogether to themselves as in this rich country, hut whatever was dove he denied that there was any disaffection in Ireland. Ireland was discon tented only, and that was bemuse she felt herself to be negleoted. Earl GREY said that the speech of the noble lord who lard introduced the Irish subject to their lordships that ODNIDOIr deserved great attention. There was one proem!, however, which be had not expected to hear from him, and that one was, for the restoration of the appropriation clause. (Earl Grey) bid been • strong advocate for that clause thirty years ago ; he was not so now • the time for such a compromise had gone by. (Hear, hear.) He cordially con torted, however, with the noble lord in thinking that the pretreat state of Ireland, requiring as it did the exercise of the strongest repressive powers, such powers having been granted to the governmeot unanimon-ly by one house et parliament, and almost unanimously by the other, was such as to make it imperative on their lordships to see whether beneficial measures might not be 'dept.& The evils of Ireland could not be removed by any single mell ows, bat be feared that, in the absence of all remedies, the evils were increasing. He was so convinced that the policy . of this country with respect to Ireland required to be rented, that, as his noble friend at the head of tire government had dec'ared that they had no meastifes in eontemplatitm for Ireland exempt tease of repression, be (Lord Grey) would himself submit to their lordship. the question of whether Ireland ought to be left in her pre emit condition, and with that view should, on Friday, the 9th of March, move that their lordships should go into committee of the whole house to (topsider the state of Ire land, and in committee he should move resolutions re:em ail:lodine what In his *dines was required. Lord DUNSANY mid therewere two subordinate reasons why the Romish clergy should be paid stipends by the go vernment. The natural relief of the whole of Irelsnd was emigration, but the priests chiefly and strongly opposed it, because every man who left his parish was so much out of the pocket of the peen; and secondly, there was a desire on the pert of the people to conceal all outward signs of wealth, because they feared it would encourage the de. mands of the Driest' upon their renames. (Hear, hear.) Lord LIFFORD withdrew his motion, and the subject dfopped. THE ART BILL. On the motion of Lord BTANIST of ALDI&.Iy, this hill Tee read e third time end passed.

T (NORTH) APPROACHES BILL. Oa the order of the day for the sewed reading of this bel. Yr. TITS moved an amendment that the bill be read a reeled time on the 16th of March. He stated that the Thames Embankment Bail, which was brought in in 1862, was remould by the government, and not by the Metropo litan Board of Works. It was not a private speculation bat a matter in which the whole metropolis was troooerried , and a very important question arose as to the best mod. by which the approach.. to the embankment were to be made. n• Board of Works proposed that there should bee latect approach from Charisg-eross. A mistaken int premien prevailed that it was intended to take Northum berland-hones. On the contrary, the Board of Works were prepared to submit a chase binding themeless not to touch any part of Noethamberlsad-house or gardens with out the omen% in writinr, of the Doke of Northumber land, and sot to touch the Savoy Palacio. He was of sphion that those two banding. should be retained, owing to their architectural and archaeological value. Meer some discussion, Mr. COWPER said he should not like it to go forth to the coantry that a public body like the Metropolitaa Baird of Works bad deliberately proposed a breach of faith. He Ihooght that the boom ought to be exceedingly stem is riderseas to any alleged breach of erumerneat between wirtica who were promoting or opposing privet* Wk. He hawed that in this case there was ao f air or Jost founda tion forsook aa allegation. The coalanat„ nook as it was, I"? !I was in the 53rd section of the act of 1863, and it did not mestirm Northanibuland-house in words, nor wss Nerth umberlend-house mentioned by inference, nor vas it men tioned in the bill. There was • question as to what should be diem with eerbele wkeiven One proposal was to deal with the wharves in • contain way, giving oompsneetice, and the other was to buy them outright, and the Metro politan Botrd of Works elected to buy them outright, and it was agreed that • dense should be put in that those wharves should not be bought without the consent of the duke. Another clause was put is, that hooves should not be bruit on the melaimed lead. But it was lever understood by anyone that those chutes hid any reference to Northumberland-house. He was quite alive to the importance of having • street between Chming-orom and the Embankment, but be was satisfied that • good street might be obtained without the necessity of destroying Northumberland-house. Oolong KNOX remarked that the original plan was to take Lord Carriagton's house. Mr. HENLEY observed that the right bon. gentleman (Mr. Oowpor) bad no sympathy for the poor when be pro posed to take down hundreds of houses to make way for the new courts of justice. The understanding was, that the agreement in 1863 was that Northumberland-house should be saved. That only showed how careful those per sons ought to be who had to deal with such matters. Mr. T. MILLER said at the time the clause was intro duced into the kill tt was under the firm impression on the part of the Board of Works that it would be agreeable to the Duke of Northumberland, and that there would be no infraction of any agreement with him ; but on looking more closely Into the meet there was considerable doubt when titer they were not breaking faith with him. Mr. Tite's motion was then put and agreed to. NOTIOES OF MOTIONS. METROPOLITAN MANAGEMENT. r Ipr was 30, irad seetleer would be ready is a few weeks after wards. A ma-gobig cruising turret-ship, of 5,000 tons, was about to he Mutt, to be called the Mocarch t mid in the camel of-the year nearly 16,000 tons of chipping would be 'mistrusted. The noble and gallant lord having explained in detail the more prominent items of expenditure in the dockyards, naively remarked that he regretted not to ob serve on the present occasion the familiar hoes of Mr. Lindsey. Sir Frederick Smith, Sir J. Elphinetane, Sir John Hay, and others who used in former SIOSSOOS to criticise the admiairtration of the navy. Sir J. PAKINGTON commented upon the circumstance that no mention had been made of the comparative merits of broad.ide and turret ships, and reminded the Secretary to the Admiralty that he had not redeemed his promise of a former year to build a sea-going turret-ship. He also asked whether it was true that Captain Cowper Ooles's invention had been ignored In order that preference might he given to a rival scheme of Mr. Reed. the contractor to the navy. Mr. RAMIIDA pointed out the fallen y of building partly protected armonvplated ships like the Warrior, Black Prince,- Defence, and Resistance. He recommended that, as we bad but ten thoroughly efficient armour-plated ships its the service the Admiralty should at once build six tarret ships. Mr. H. HAILLIE considered the statement of Lord Clarence Paget not satisfactory, and suggested that a committee should be nominated to oonsider what class of armour-plated ship should be constructed in order to com mand the greatest strength and speed. The debate was continued by Admirals Walcott, Erskine, and Seyhour, and by Sir M. Foto, at whose instance the chairman reported proves without any vote being agreed to. — lt wee arrespd that the consideration of the navy esti mates should be resumed on Thursday next. Mr. B. COOHRLNE, to move, on the 16th of March, for a seen committee to inquire into the constitution of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the Of6oe of Public Works, end the Office of Woods and Foram, with a vie w to eel whether some scheme eould sot be devised for the impro►ement of the metropolis. The Pensions DU was passed through committee, as was also the Jamaica Government Bill. The other business was diaposid of, and the house ad journed at live minutes past 1 o'clock. MONACO.

Oa the motion of Mr. Bann) anew writ was ordered for Richmond, in consequence of the death of the Hon. J. C. Donau. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. BOUVERIE mired whether the atatistios relating to the existint conatitneades were complete, sad when they would be laid epos the table. (Hear, hear.) air 0. GREY said they were not yet quite complete; bat he hoped they would be ready at a very early period. THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair, In order that the house might go into committee of supply on the naval estimates, Mr. WHITE rose to move the following resolutions : "That the expenditureof the government has of late years I been ozonise. That it was and is now ' taken in peat measure oat of the earaiags of the people, and forms is no swell degree a dednotioa !rem • scanty store which is necessary to semis to them a sufficiency, not of the com forts of life, but even of the prime necessaries of food, of clothing, of shelter, sad of fuel.' That this hones, while. mindful of its obligation to maintain the security of the country at home, and the protectwa of its interests abroad, is deeply impressed with the urgent Deceseil of economy In every department of the state, and is of opinion that so administration u dome* of the confidence of this house and the country which shall not relieve the present bards° of taxation on the unrepresented and other classes, by making an early and large redaction of the govern. ment expenditure." The hon. gentleman reminded the house that he had promised to take this step after the Chancellor of the Exchequer's annual survey of the Amnia position sad prospects of the country, in April last. In the course of a keg speech Mr. White quoted copiously from Mr. Gladstone's speeches, contrasting his theoretical homilies in favour of economy with the large expenditure which bad marked his financial administration, averaging 12,000,0001. a year in excess of the ante-Crimean war period, and he protested strongly against Mr. Gladstone's habit of throwing the responsibility of this extremism. on the House of Commons. He recommended the appointment of sessiocal committee for revising the estimates, sad be analysed with some mionteaces the proceedings in soon• mittee of supply fur the last ten years, to show that what ever was dons in the way of reduction must bedew, before the house went into committee. Mr. MARSH seconded the motion. Mr. BAXTER said it was impossible b all atten tion too frequently and prominently to the question of national expenditure. Of late years it had been . frequently said, and it had else been stated by the Chaneellor of the Exchequer, that that house had abdicated its functions of checking the expeaditure ei the government, and had itself, on the contrary, initiated great schemes involving the expenditure of enormous I ✓ums, which the minister' did not seem to think necessary. He hoped the new house would not follow the pernicious ex ample of its predesessors,,but would carefully examine every item of the estimates. He entirely concurred in the re. mark of the hoe. member for Brighton that it was impas sible to sit in that house night after night, and go over the thousand and one votes submitted to them, to do say sob. staatial good. They would very rarely soused in Bettie' any item knocked off, and if they did, it would be some thing quite immaterial. The difficulty must be met in the gram He agreed with the hon. member for Brighton that the present expenditure of the country was emissive. (Heir, hear.) He was sorry to say the government showed • want of moral courage in dealing with any substantial rerlugtioe of the expenditure. Mr. MARSH said the hoe. member for Brighton said the amount raised from the people by taxation was 70,000,0001.; but at was considerably mire, because the commies IMO charged with prate on the amount of the tax. For in. assocs, it there was a duty of 3s. • pound on Colosimo, the consumer paid not only the duty, but the shopkeeper's profit on the duty. With regard to the navy, he bad not looked into it, but he had no doubt that there was and always would be extravagance in the dockyards, and be hoped that when the boo. member for Portsmouth brought forward his motion to pay the dockyard men more, the house would not agree to it. With regard to the riled service, it was astonishing to him hew it kept on increasing year by year, and this notwithstaod. leg that many items of expenditure which were formerly incurred under that head were now swept sway. But it struck him that there was great confusion in those esti mates, One of the best doctrines of Buser:* wes simplicity of accounts ; that was to say, they should be able at once in reference to soy item to say what it cost. But no one could do that from the civil service estimates. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he agreed with the hon. member for Brighton that a large portion of the expeodi tura was supported by taxes on the people. The nation, as a nation, was so wealthy that they did not sufficiently recol lect that what was nothing to a greet capitalist might be serious to small cootributors, who, nevertheless, if a proper system of taxation was kept up, must be taxed. It was their bounden duty to consider that, and when the go- vernment opposed proposals for additional expenditure the house ought to join the government in resisting it. He put it to the bon. member for Brighton whether he saw any sdvsetage in going to a divides, and suggested that he should content himself with the diaelassioe. Mr. LAING referred to the history of the lest ten years to prove that the increase in our expenditure had in a great measure arisen from causes beyond our own eostiol, and showed that this increase had not been proportionately as Brest as in the budgets of France, Holland, and Belgium. He mentioned a variety of causes from which greater economy might be expected—inch as a leas officious foreign policy, a change in our colonial policy, and , improved administration in the public dipsrtments ; ' and be augured from the pacific policy of the Emperor of the French that a general reload se . of armaments was possible. In combating the Magus's of , Mr. White's resolutions be entered with great minuteness into the financial history of the last 15 years, with the object of showing that tbra taxes which pressed most heavily on the worldeg chums bad been selected for redaction or remission, and that the deficiencies thus created had been supplied by taxes levied on the middle and upper clause. Alluding to the possibility of a reform agitation, he depre cated any attempt to make political capital out of financial grievances, and assured the working classes that, whatever other advantages the possession of a vote might give them, their interests could not be more booestle attended to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the estimates of the goverement, sod took credit for a consider able reduction in the army estimates. With regard to the charge on this sexannt, be showed that it was direct:y tease. able to our colonial policy, New Zeeland aloes having for some years past elopl. yed one-twelfth and one-tenth of our whole efficient military strength. In the navy, too, there was a saving of 330,0001., although he greeted that it wee neutralised by an increase of the vote for works recommeeded to be carried out by the select committee of last session. With respect to the motion before the house, he did not deny that in cer tain ogees great rood might be does by general declare timid ; but Mr. White differed from the late Mr. Hesse, the ecouomist, in this respect, that whereas the former indulged is vague and usupported declarations, the latter made it • point to make himself thoroughly master of the details of the various departments of expenditure. So fez as the government was concerned, the house would ever Bed them ready to agree to the freest and openeet dims sioa and the moat searr.hieg criticism. NAVY ESTIMATE/3. Load 0.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. LEOMINSTER. The election of a new member for the borough of , Leominster, in the room of Mr. Gethorne Hardy, belt place at the tows-hall yesterday. It will be recumbent' that at the general election Mr. Hardy was returned for both Leominster and the University of Oxford, and that he elected to sit for the university, hence the present election. The proceedings went off very peaceably, a few flags being exhibited, and a band of memo parading the streets. The Mayor, Mr. Daggs, presided at the else. Eon, and after the reading of the writ and the other 'customary formalities, Mr. B. Caldwell proposed and Mr. Greavee seconded the election of Mr. Richard Arkwright. No other candidate being programed, Mr. Arkwright wee declared duly elected. Mr. Arkwright, addressing the electors said, Lord Russell found himself supported by no small a body of supporters that be had allied himself to the extreme liberal party. That alliance boded no good so the church and constitution. It was now no longer a question between Lord Derby, as avowed and honest coennative, end Lord Palmerston. a °Dominative at heart, though not an avowed one; but it was • choice between a constitutional government and &series of revo- Intiocary measures. After criticising and condemning the I views held by Mr. Bright on the (putties of the extension of the suffrage, be expressed his belief that the condition of the poor was the real social problem of the day, but he scald aot see how the addition of a million voters to the present roll could benefit the poor at all, unless the first measure of the new parliament was to be to divid all pro perty equally. (Laughterand °tutu.) It was a bitter mockery when the poor were as king for the bread of education to put them o ff with the stone" of political agitation. A goverment so palpably weak es it had shown Itself in reference to the question of the cattle plagos, and allowing the Fenian rebellion to go on to the present pass, when they were fully aware of it* existence months ago, and which had shown its servility by listening to the cry of a faction, and fixing a stigma on men like Governor Byre, whose only tact was his having acted with proantinde sad decision, contrasting so favourably with the conduct of the Igovernment at home, had better leave reform alone. Mr. Arkwright went on tosay that he was a devoted adheresit to the church of Eaglasd, but liberal to other religious decominim. times. He added that he was favourable to no changes that he : could not see the necessity of, and that could not be ' brought about by constitutional and peaceable means. With reference to the repeal of the malt tax, its coon of collection was said to be to great that, if touched at all, it , ought to be abolished altogether. If he could see that both the producer and the consumer would be benefited by total repeal, he would support it.

THE CATTLE PLAOIII AT DUIRUCH AND BRIXTON. —The locality of Dulwich. which has hitherto partially escaped the cattle plague, is now suffering severely from its ravages. In two open cattle yards contiguous to Dulwich College the disease has appeared in a virulent form. The first animal attacked was a bull belonging to Mr. Brad street, and the contagion immediately 'reed through the whole herd of °owe, and ten beasts were destroyed. The adjoining cow-yard, in the occupation of Mr. Parsecs, took the infection, end up to yesterday Dille fine milking cows had died. A Dutch heifer, which had recently bleu added to this shed, was the Ant to take the disease, and after dis nominating it has recovered. The °ow-houses of Mr. J. Chester, in Water-lace, Brixton, have also been visited with the disease during the last three days, and up to last night seventeen valuable much cows bad been swept off or ace demned for slaughter. No reliable canes can be aasigeed for the outbreak, as the stock bad not berm in contact with other beasts. AFFILIATION 07 ILLIOTTIMATN CNILDHAN. —A meeting of the Jurisprudence department of the Social Science Association was held last night, at their rooms in the Adelphi, Mr. W. T. S. Daniel, Q.C., in the chair, to consider a paper by Mr. John Guest on the state of the present law with regard to the allied= of illegitimate children. The paper urged that the interests of moiety demanded a change is the existing law, which is at once indecent, cruel, and dishonest, and one which 'objects the victim of a gut fault to a public exposure, and breads her with an epee slime, which in too many mire leaves her, if not without the desire, without the hope of restoration to virtue and respectability. The law was extremely harsh toward" the female and not at all deterrent, but it bed to a great extent destroyed all ingenuous holier of modesty and self-respect, making it difficult or impossible to return agile to the path of virtue. The cruelty of the law consisted in the public exposure caused by an inquiry in open court. After some observations by Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Mr. Biggs, Mr. Hastings, Mr. F. Hill, Mr. B. White, sad the chair man, obit y directed to the necessity of private hearings in court, the hardship of throwing the owns of proof on the woman, and the expedieury of the intervention of parochial authority, the meeting broke up. THE CASUAL POOR or MILS-END OLD-TOWN. —The system adopted in the Poplar Union, conferring upon the police the sole power of riming orders for the admission of casual paupers into the night wards of the union-bonse, having been found to work sueoessfully, the 'midis" of the hamlet of Mile-end Old-town have resolved to adopt the same plan, and the cossets will be admitted only by tickets to be issued at the station-house is Arbonrotreet East, Arbour-equate, Stepney, adjoining and attached to the Thames Police-court. The inspectors will iamb and sign the orders for admission. Yesterday evening the business 0011310000X1 at the Arbour-street station, and Inspector Griffin, so old and experienced officer, signed many orders for admission to the casual wards in the course of the night. The station-house and the workhouses are about three quarters of a mile apart. The inspectors are provided with a book, is which the name, ago, last sleepier/ place, sod other particulars of every person applying for relief is to be mimed. It is expected them will be a coesiderable dimi nution in the number of casuals in Mileond Old-town when the change becomes pnerally known, and that the rosily destitute only will seek relief. In Poplar the comb have been reduced from 600 to 160 weekly sines the police have acted as assistant relieving officers. The hamlet geeerally called Stepney contains 80,000 ishabitente. ADI7LTISLATICD LUIIJUICL Yesterday evening, Mr. O. J. Cartfar, imam for Kent, resumed sad eeesluded, at the Bee Hive Tavern, Bridgeitreet, Greenwich, the inquiry relative to the death from scurvy of Beery Griffiths, one of the crew of the St. Andrew's Castle. The sufferings of the crew of this ship on her voyage home from Shanghai to London have 'beady been made public. The vessel left China with a crew of 19--all told, end a lady pemenger with two children, one of them beteg an infant. Seven of the crew were speedily preetrated by scurvy, ens died at the Gape, sad another expired in the raver; the rest were taken on based the Dreadnought Hrispital ship. An inquest was held on the body of the met that died in the Thames, before Mr. Humphreys, and it was satisfactorily shown that the ship's provision were good, and that the captain, Mr. M`Baine, had doss his duty with greet bums nity, not only towards hie men, but in respect of his un fortunate lade pemerder , who test her reason during the voyage. Samples of the limejnice wore handed round to the jury, and practical men prearamoied It to be of good wady. Several cif the mew were new meandned, and they spoke well of the previsions ea heard, whisk were above the average quality. The jury Merited a eerdies that the decreased thee from nervy ; and the jury farther say that the juice shipped ea board the St. Andrew's Comae wee a aerobe deoceitioe, perfectly trader as a preventive of scurvy. The Coroner said that the cooed this ship would be brought under the notice of the Howe of Conon& TATTERSALL'S—Moimiy. There was a good attendance this afternoon, and after the Lincoln settling had been got through, the Liverpool Steeple• ohms was the question of the day . _ Several Important ow-- meet. were made thereon, the most noteworthy being in con nexion with Alciblade, Mistake, and L'Atricaln, Cortolvin being also conspicuous in the front rank. A commission In favour o Alciblede was begun in the City, continued in Wellinton-street, and in one or two instance' concluded at Kaightabedge, whets he left off at offers of It to 1. Cortolrio, as we have aaid,was also in force, but the demonstration in his favour was steady and 'apparently legitimate. Not so, however, with Mistake, about whom a "performance" was commenced in the City it 26 to 1, at which, however,the Baron's' satellites failed to catch any one napping. Further west they were necessitated to take lean Imposing prices, and at one period as little as 10 to 1 was noted several times ; but the ugly rumours afloat as to a " backing" and a " laying" commission haying ema nated from the same source, though taking effect through different channels, rendered his position rather unsteady. On arriving at Tattereall's we found that the matter had been sub mitted to Admiral Sons, who, sided and fortified by the opinion of two experienced zed influential members of the room, In the abeence of a quorum of the committee, cut the Gordian knot in the most approved style of summary dealing. Concurrent with the instructloes which Mr. Henry Morris received to lay against Baron Von Orootven's horse (Mistake) there was issued from the some quarter a commission to back him. The motive detach turf diplomacy we leave our readers to determine; but to assist them In coming to a conclusion we simply record the official verdict. "Liverpool Steeplechase—He are of opinion that Mr. Morris laid MOO& to 70sL against Mistake, and 1001, even that Mis take did not start bonA fide for Baron Von Orootven. To meet the justice of the case, as the beta were made with Baron Von Orootven's second COlllllllllllOllOl . , who had rest teed Instructions from the baron to back Mistake, we hereby declare these bete to be void. Signed, H. J. Roue, H. Hill, 11. Hargreaves. Tat tersall's, February 26, 1866 " It la devoutly to be wished that the baron ins, be able to clear up the mistake to the satis faction of everyone. L'Afriadn was somewhat invidiously dealt with; for, notwithstanding that at one time 12 to 1 was accepted to money, he was soon after in disfavour at 100 to 8; but finally these latter odds were pat down, together with a bet of 10 " ponies," with a start. The ups and downs of the sensation horses had no effect upon old Creole, who maintained his position firmly at it to I (taken). Merrimac would have commanded strong support at 20 to 1. and at any thing over 26 to I there were inquiries after the /rimless horse, Oasetter. Speculation on the Spring handicaps was desultory end tame es well. For the Two Thousand Student was again strongly fended, 100 to 30 being taken kindly when procurable. and In one Instance a shade lees was accepted to the shape of 8261, to 1001.

When guard of a ballast train in the company's employ his wages were about 35e. per week, and when passenger guard about 27a per week. When he left the service the company told him they bad lost the testi monials, but would assist him to get others. To that it was replied by the plaintiff that the difficulties were so great, it being contrary to the rules of the servioes to give a second testimonial, that it was next to impossible to get • second one. The company, however, bad done nothing. it was said, towards getting bier freak tarthnonials. He wee now working as a porter at 254 • year.

The Common Serjaant havias called the attention of the far, to the material tufa in the case, the jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. Pater said that there was another indictment against the prisoner preferred by the same prosecutors, but after the decision that had been arrived at by the jury in this case he did not feel rolled upon to proceed with that in dictment. He thought ft right to state that the propecution would not base been preferred if they preset discovered that the prisoner was deficient to the extent of more than 1001. in his accounts. 1111111, WU Hairy Swyer, 25, was charged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Almeirs Seymour Barrington, end steel ing a quantity of art , oles of wearing apparel, and jaw Kerby, 65, and Elizabeth Kerby, 70, were charged with re ceiving the property, knowing it to have bees stoles.

The man Kerby had aloe, it appeared, been sentenced to six years' penal servitude for receiving stolen property.

Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. E. P. Wood defended the pincer. From the opening statement of Mr. Metcalfe, it appeared that about 7 o'clock on the night of the 2nd Feb. instant, the prisoner, in charge of a dray drawn by two horses, drove up to the gate protecting the level crossing near Blackwell from the Great Neaten line to the North Wool wich Breech Railway. The gate was opined to him by Hawkins, the gatekeeper ; but when the prisoner with his dray and horses had entered on the line of rail way. he stopped short directly across the line, ani refused to go through the gate on the other side. There he remained, sitting en the shaft of his dray, for upwards of ten minutes, thereby causing great danger to an approaching train which was thee overdue. A police-constable was sent for, and be removed the dray and horses just in time to get out of the way of the train, sod the pruner was given into custody, after being told that he bad run great risk of having his vehicle and hones , smashed to piens, to which he replied he did not care for ' that so long as be Dingell was not smashed.

Wood said be was instructed to oaks today the same defence that the 'prisoner had set up ter him self when before the magistrate, namely, that be was stopped by reason of having a jibbing bone, sad could sot get forward. The leaned counsel pat it to the jury whether it was probable that the prisoner would have run the chance of being himself mutilated by a collision. Mr. Commissioner Kerr told the jury they bad beard the nee, sad would deal with it according to the evidence. The jury, alter a abort consultatice, returned • verdict of Not Gisiq. Mr. Commissioner Kerr (with evident surprise)—Not guilty, gentlemen? Why the for of forty or fifty lives might have been the result of the man ' s conduct.
