There can b e no doubt that when the revision of the rules of betting ' took place a few years ago the work was done somewhat hastily, and it would be as well were the old heads to take the matter in hand again, and endeavour to frame a art of laws that would not take quite eo much construing when they were brought tobear upon a certain ticklish point. It is fortunate that bookmakers noire had such a good time of it since the season began, 50 that they can stand the heavy run upon their resources. censetl by all the Soiled Dove bets being declared off (she has 'even times, and was backed heavily every time bet 1:e first), although their misfortu as might have come at latter time than sow, they having had the worst of it at the ('raven Meet keg, for all the turn-up over the Newmarket Handicap. This event reeulted, like the four brought off at Epsom and Northampton, owners had had many weeks to think over, , the winner, Leases, having no followers even among lii,. own friends, such a deceiver had he proved hitherto. The fact of the winning -poet being within sight of the road to hilt stable doubtless hail the effect of making Leases run on instead of cutting it when he had the race in hand, and his performance cer tainly explained how it was he heat Miss Havelock in a trial before the Northamptonshire Stakes, the probability being that he will carry some of the stable money in the Chester Cup. t'espite his having a much severer impost to carry now thin Miss Havelock, Millie. Cleopatra, or Barrington. Bat there was not much notice taken of the Rhoodee question at Newmarket last week, only the running that influenced the Two Thousand and Derby creating any sensation, albeit some brilliant two-year-olde- including !honk, a regular "Byer"- were brought o it, and there was a dead heat between the 1 whole field for one of the races. A " dead heat with three" is unix.: .nion enough ; but if the three happen to be that cot :est a stake the circumstance is the more remarkable ; an i when Ariosto, brother to Drakelow, and Beneuelen ran ..ouie all of a row for the edaegow Stakes, is 1850, finishine at the same post as Plenum, Conde, and Arohiniage did, it was quite a nine days' wonder. The most extraordinary part of last Friday's dead heat was the long intervals-at least fifty yards-that separated each of the three competitors when they ran the decider, which merely proved, however, what whitakes might be made in horses' merits when they run races in a " slopping" kind of way, and the upshot must have been quite soothing to those gentle. men who tried Defiance and Duero, reepectively, to beat Abergeldie and Kndsleigh for the City anti Suburban soil Metropolitan. Private trials have not had so much to do es pliblie running with the revolution that has taken piece ia the Derby and Two T h ous nd betting since my last, the Ninth Newmarket Biennial being such a true-run race that Vauban take, the full credit of his victory, as do D'Estournel and Taraban of their surprising defeats. This latter pair, it is true, showed temper, and would not show us bow they could gallop ; but we had a plain indication two days afterwards that Taraban did not are about trying in any company, even Whirligig and Siiankos, two way moderate colts, going too fast for him over the Ditch Mile. D'llstournel, again, was put through the mill quietly with Lord Ronald before the meeting was over, when his inferiority to Vauban was only confirmed, as he ran kindly enough. Lord Ronald is the trial horse of the Duke of Beaufort's new favourite, so that when be got within a neck of Ceerops in Monday's Free Handicap John Day knew he had a Derby horse, and his party put it down on the son of Muscovite for the Biennial " like men." He just pulled through in front of Wronghton, thus reversing the positions occupied by the pair when they met at York, and showing he had made greater pro gress during the winter than the average of three-year. 01d... for Mr. Cartwright's colt lookol well ; still, he has not shown yet that Plaudit's defeat of him last October was wrong, and the Richmond horse was certainly made to appear the best horse in the Two Thousand all the time he was being so knocked about in the market, Pericles, besides Vauban, having added to his reputation by accomplishing as brilliant a feat as Camps. Pericles is in the Two Thousand himself, but unfortunately a " roarer," and all he can do for the Duke of Newcastle is to tell hint Julius is a great horse, the latter being 101 b the superior at home, and such • doer, with Wild Agnes and Flying Scud, that he has only to run up to his trials to upset all his laid year's running, and revenge the beating Vauban (who will like the Derby course better than the Two Thousand) gave him in the Troy. Bismarck and Nama Pompilius did not accomplish much for the Rake stable daring the week, and Fripon• nier had nothing to beat in his race : nevertheless, nothing looks better at Newmarket than the Derby favourite, and no matter what the Two Thousand may bring forth, lan safely remark, in conclusion, that he and the Frenchmen will do " head-quarters" great service at Epsom, there being too much mystery about the Hermit for my present liking.-I am, Sic., METEOR. BETTING IN LONDON.--SATemAY. The Saturday muster at the clubs assembled to-day in full strength, and the speculation that took plane was extensive, varied, sad of important bearing. For the Chester Cup. Lecturer remained first favourite, and although no general disposition was manifested to back him, one rommiedoner freely accepted 3o to I about him, and Indeed experienced some difilculty In pro. curing this price. Archimedes was, however, the most inquired &Hero( anything : for some time layers refund to .der more than 15 to 1, but after awhile 100 to 60 was laid and taken twice, and all the 100 to Cs that could be procured were napped up. Against Rama and Indloy the offers ware identical-100 to 6 - and although neither was backed at this pale., the firsAnaussd would have found friends at a point less. Mille. Cleopstre was supported at 20 to I. hot the some odds continued to be offered to the clogs. Tormentor was frequently asked after, and In response to the .potation of 22 to 1 offers were made to 25 to 1. Among the outside division, Harrogate, Miss Hav a e c i c U e r, and Newland were hacked. For the Two Thousand It did not take long to Instal Julius first favourite, 7 to 2 being taken to good money, and before breaking op 100 to 90 was accepted. In the coarse of the afternoon he was also freely Lacked for a place at 5 to 4, and eventually at even money. About Plaudit 9 to 2 was accepted kindly, and his position In the market to-day was healthy father than otherwise. Vuhan was the sensational horse of the afternoon. At first so much ax 9 to 1 was laid, but subsequenUy 7 to I was taken freely and br a lame amount, while the odds of 2 to 1 were laid persistently.n his starting. Marksman was quiet, there being no response to the offers of Bto 1 against him. Hermit was firm at 9to I, this riee being towards the close naked for in van. ins of the netures of the betting on this event was the advance of Troca. dem, who, from 1000 to 70 offered, sprang to 11 to 1 taken to hundreds, the extreme odds finally offered being 10 to 1. The long price of 100 to 3 was laid against Knight of the Garter, bat there were several inqtdries after him for • plan, for which contingency no more than 3to I was offered. The only outsider hacked was Stradbroke, whose owner took 1000 to 10, offering at the WWI time to accept 110,000 to ISO. For the Derby, The Rake distanced all competitor', II to 2 being taken kindly. Hermit, Vauban, and Plaudit were friendless, but Julius was made the medium of a good investment, lb to 1 being bid in thy first instance and 100 to 6 finally taken. There were offer to back Dragon at 1000 to 80, bat layers seemed shy, and no blow wax struck. Aland Trocadero 1.000 to 1 5 was hooked, and flkymail was be friended at the extreme outside price of 5000 to 30. Meanwhile iliolua wagering of a complicated and special character took place between two large speculators, one backing the winner of the Two Thousand to sin the Derby against any two to be named this list woe hooked twice to the tune of footieven each time, The Rake and Dragon being first chosen, followed by The Jtalte sad Vauban.

PROsPECP4 OP THE HEARON. Tia: cricket Campaign of 1867 promises to be as active as way of It, preoesson. Already the • note of preparation" has berm sounded at headquarters both in the metropolis and in the provimes, the Marylelone and the several county committees, as well as the aidversitlee, the great amateur and itinerant Elevens having issued their " programmes." The season coin inetwea as usual with the Colts match at Nottingham on Easter Monday. There are also this year two international matches arranged to be played during the Easter holidays on the Bois de Boulorne, at Paris. in which many of the noblemen and gentle. men of the Marylebone end I Megan Clubs are announced to represent England. The season proper will he inaugurated by the isuniveriary dinner at bird's Pavilion on May day. The surrey club will follow suit on the nth, and thenceforward all will be hustle and activity. The list of macho. put forth by the Y.C.C. is a formidable one, though numerically inferior to that of and in consequence of the unfortunate •• schism" amongst the professionals, sonic of the crack matches are conspicuous by their absence, to wit the great contest between the All England and United Elevens on Whit Monday and Tues day, shies has ever alms I& 7 been played at Lord's for the beng al of the "Crieketen' Fund," and which wlllthie year take place at Manchester. This year neither Nottingham, Cambridge, nor York shire professionals, with the exception of the • ground " men, will exhibit their skill at Lord's, which will prove a source of con siderable disappointment to the London public. The M.C.C., faithful to its traditions, in encouraging cricket in otherdirections —viz., amongst the public schools and colts of England. The committee are now erecting on the upper side of the grossed a grand stand nearly 200 ft. In length. Three of the great annual matches—viz., Gentlemenand Playas, the Oxford and Cambridge l'olvenities, and Eton and Harrow, will come off as usual on the old turf, and altagethir the approaching season of the M.C.C. may be described se being one of brilliant prondse. The county of : Middlesex puts forth a tempting bill of fare, and will contend " out and home '• with surrey, Lancashire, and Nottinghamshire; Indeed, lite celebrated Notts team will only play hi this imematch In the south during 1887. Middlesex will also play All England at Lords'. The county of Surrey, with its characteristic Übe rallty, plays against Yorkshire, their only appearance in the south —Lancashire, Middles.. Sussex, and Kent in out and borne" matches. Conjoined with Sussex, she plays England— also against each of the universities, and the "nut and home.' The annual match—Gentlemen v. Players—will also come off at the Surrey Ground ; and the habitnn of the Oval have a rich treat in store. Not the least interesting feature of tile season will Ire the benefit match (Surrey and Sussex v. Eng laud% played for the special kehool of Torn Luckyer the prince of wicket keepers, who has retired. The County of Nottingham never plays more than three great matches " out and home.' Besides the coin match before alluded to, they this year en counter Middlesex, Catahrkigeehire, and the North of England. The quality of the cricket exhibited by their eleven Is invariably Lest clan. Kent and Sussex have both announced the usual number of Important matches, to corns oil at Brighton and Gravesend respectively. Cambridgeshire has committed ltsell to several important engagements, and Fenner's Ground I at canibridge, enlarged and Improved, will be the scene of some rift contests. Lancashire smith meets Surrey and Middlesex out and home" as last year. In Hampshire and Yorkshire alone amongst the English counties do we find any serious short comings, and these are traceable to very opposite causes. The Canterbury week." the most enjoyable of all cricket reunions, is need as usual for the beginning of August. All the great amateur elevens, vit., I Logan, Quisinuncs, Harlequins, Anima. lies, Incogniti, :Southgate Free Foresters, the Universities, Public Schools, who will play • series of interesting matches at Lord's, the Oval, and:lslington, and the great itinerant profes sional elevens, viz , the AU England tolled , Cnited South. and North and South of England all have their hands full of platelet against all sans of odds. THE STRIKE ON THE NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY. —Notwithstanding that the men have been mistaken in their calculations as to the effect of a sudden strike upon the traffic arrangements they show no signs of yielding. The first prosecution of the men on strike has been in connexion with the Darlington section. A dozen men were on Saturday summoned by the directors to appear before the Bishop Auckland magistrates. Mr. Roberta, of Manchester, well known as " the Pitmen's Attorzey-Ge neral," was retained for their defence. One case was heard as representative of the whole, but after hearing the evidence and listening to a lengthy defence from Mr. Roberts, the magistrates dismissed the cum, on the ground of want of mutuality in the contract by which they were engaged. The men are jubilant at their success , and ex press confidence that the North Eastern prosecutions, which are to be beard next week, will fail also. Meetings of the men are to be held to-morrow at aereral places. Their chief hose lies now in the Great Northern, London and North M astern, and other lines in connexion with their own turning out, which they confidently say they will do. This, it is thought, will cause such pressure to be pat on the North Eastern directors, that they will concede their men's terms, and reinstate them. If such an event should occur the com plication will be a grave one, se these lines will not have the same chance of repairing a for of their men aa the North Eastern have done. Intelligence has been received of the settlement of the dispute on the lancashire and Yorkshire, Mid Wales, and Somerset and Dorset rail ways. The original terms offered by the directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshire were the same as those pro posed by the North Eastern, which have resulted in the strike on the latter line. These terms were refused : but on Wednesday last a deputation again met the directors, and everything was amicably settled. A F1.241.AN Arrnotitn.—The Dublin correspon dent of the C.rk Herald says :—" The proceedings before grand juries are, as a general rule, kept secret ; however, I have succeeded in ascertaining some facts which will, no doubt, possess interest. One of the chief members of the conspiracy, no less than the redoubtable Mr. Massey, has actually turned approver, and will be relied on by the crown to tighten the rope round the necks of his unbar; accomplices! As might be expected from the h position Massey held in the Fenian or ganisation, and the opportunity thus afforded him of heconring acquainted with its plans and objects, the names of the principal members, and the share held by each in the confederacy, his evidence discloses some very extraordinary if not alarming facts. It is stated he has given the names of several persons occupying high social positions as being implicated in the conspiracy, and has put the crown in possession of some very important facts with regard to the share which some personage. in high authority in the United State. have had in en couraging and assisting their movements. He states that the Fenian conspiracy, or, as it is termed, the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood, forms a part of a much more general and extensive revolutionary organisation, extending not only over Ireland and America, but over the entire of Europe, the object being to unite the ' , sirloin nationalities in a common object, and to secure their co operation in carrying out their designs. Being asked W name the leaders of this organisation he expressed au unwillingness to do so, but be disclosed several other facts, which, if true, would appear to show that Fenianisra has received encouragement, if not material aid, from several quarters on the continent of Europe. His disclosures, which will be, of course, given in extras') when examined before the petty jury, on the resumption of business by the present commission, will, no doubt, be looked for with great interest. It is further stated that the government have employed a detective for the purpose of learning the secrets of the association, and in this manner learned many important facts which will be disclosed at the proper t me.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVE G, APRIL 15, 1867. THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE. The annual dinner given by the Hanover and Thames Subscription Club to the Oxford and Cambridge men took place in the evening at Willie's Rooms, and up wards of 11A1 guests were present. The chair was occupied by the Hon. G. DENMAN, Q.C., M.P., president of the club ; and the vice chair by R. N. PHILLIPH, Esq., F.S.A., the vice-president. Among the guests were the Lord Erskine, Hon. C. Carnegie, M.P. Mr. J. Brady, M.P. Mr. C. Neate, M.P., Mr. A.S. Ayr ton, M.P., Admiral Si; Frederick Nicholson, Bart., Mr. Alderman Cotton, the President of the Oxford University Boat Club, the Presi dent of the Cambridge Univer s ity B oa t Cl u b, the captsins of Oxford and Cambridge, and the members of their re spective crews , ; the captains of Eaton, Westminster, and Hadley ; Mr. r isborne Stock, M.P., Mr. M'Gregor captain of the Dublin University Rowing Club, tic. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, The CHAIRMAN gave the toast of the evening, " The Health of the Oxford and Cambridge Crews." Many of those present, he said, remembered that this time last year they congratulated the Oxford crew upon the splendid victory they had achieved, after a most gallant race, and that was the sixth victory in succession won by that gallant university. That evening they were met to con gratulate Oxford upon having secured an additional vic tory in that noble contest which takes place between the sister universities at this period of the year. They were met, not to congratulate the Oxford crew on this Goes sion alone, hut also to congratulate the Cambridge crew. (Cheers.) After a long experience of some thirty years, since he first watched with close attention the contests between the universities on the Thames, be did not hesitate to say if be were to try to put his finger upon the heartiest, the closest, and the most meritorious con test that had ever taken place between these universities, he could not find a closer or more gallantly fought one than that of the morning; indeed he believed that it was the most ably fought one that ever took place upon the Thames. (Loud cheers.) He must be par doned if he said that after six years' successive con gratulation of the Oxford crew he felt himself somewhat at a loos to invent or suggest a new topic on which he could magnify as he could desire, exalt as he wished, and do honour as was his fervent aspiration, to the gallant exertions of that gallant Oxford crew. Two years ago he had thought of this, that although all through England there was on the part of Oxford men a sort of what he would not call a sneaking, but a half avowed hope that Cambridge might beat them, ,yet it did them immortal honour to dis regard that feeling and win the race. (Hear, hear.) He felt that in an exaggerated degree on the present occa sion, because, after six years' victories all scored on the one side, there could not be a doubt that if the Oxford men were beaten this year every one would view it in a spirit of congratulation to the Cambridge men. (Hem, hear.) And, as a Cambridge man, be therefore thought that more than half the glory of the Cambridge men would vanish into air if the Oxford crew did not do their best to prevent the victory going to the other side. (Cheers.) It was this feeling made line admire such a noble-hearted, straight-forward contest as that which he witnessed at a somewhat early or comparatively late hour in the morning. At an earlier hour in the morning be had witnessed a contest of another kind, and'though he was one of the defeated in it—(cheers)—he did not want to disparage any victory gained by an opponent. (Hear, hear.) Because, after all, it was one of the characteristics of Englishmen. that when a man meets an opponent who has beaten him, he sticks the true friend of that man through life. But when one went weary and jaded to bed at half-past two in the morning, thinking of the lobbies and of the cross-voting, and of the betting that this man would change in half en hour, and that that man would change because he had such and such a motive, and that the other man would not do his duty because he was afraid of a general election, and in fact thinking of all the gossip and strange talk of that noble assembly, it was refreshing for him, after three and a half hours' sleep, to go out and witness theee gallant crews, with out any cross-voting, and uninfluenced by any con sideration, except the desire to run as straight for the point and row for it as hardly and as hooestly as they could—it was really refreshing, he felt, comparing the one race with the other, the one in Par liament and the one on she Thames. (Loud cheers.) This was a remarkable race. After the race of last year be heard it said that it was felt among Cambridge men that such were the prospects of future years with respect to their competition with Oxford, and so small were the probabilities of success, that it was seriously considered among them whether it would not be better to practise hard for • year or two, take lessons, kc. and not to go and meet the almost certainty of defeat thiiyear. That might happen in tomer times ; but in the present day, when all eyes were upon the two universities, he believed that that university which took tech a warms would lose more honour, and drive itself more into the rear, than if it took the bold and manly course to come forw ard, even if it ran the risk of being beaten by a mile—(loud cheers) —rather than have no race. (Renewed cheering.) That was the course taken by the captain of the Cambridge crew, and the result was that they had had • race rare, indeed, on the waters of the Thames. (Hear, hear.) He should therefore ask them to drink with all the honours the health of Mr. Willan, the President of the Oxford Club, and of Mr. Griffith, the President of the Cambridge Club. (Cheers.) When he saw the Oxford crew, a fort night ago, in London, he knew, at • glance, that they were a formidable crew which it would take a first-clam— indeed the very first-class—crew to beat. But he also saw the Cambridge crew row in admirable style most beauti fully together, at a ratt li ng pace, and he felt that un doubtedly these were two crews which could not affoid to despise each other. (Cheers.) That morning the crews by him after rowing two miles on the Thames, and if • judge on the occasion as between the two crews, he would have given it as his verdict that the contest would have resulted in a dead heat, because all along that long counts neither of the boats cleared each other. (Hear, hear.) It was • gallant, noble contest, and did equal honour to those who conquered and to those who were defeated. (Prolonged cheering.) After all, there could be no doubt that these exertions in a manly contest made men able to engage in others more serious and responsible ; and the men who rowed these races with such determination, such pluck, and such un dying spirit, would unquestion a bly be well fitted to take part in that serious battle of life for which they all should prepare. (Hear, hear.) Proud of the Oxford and the Cambridge crews, be said on his own part, and that of the company, that their health would be now most warmly drank, and that their gallant conduct was most cordially approved. (Loud cheers.) The tout was most enthusiastically responded to. Mr. Wimear (captain of the Oxford crew) first returned thanks, and, in the oouree of some observations, which were scarcely audible, said it bad been stated that the cap tain of the Cambridge Crew would not bring his men to the scratch, but he (Mr. Willan) never believed such a report, because he knew that the Cambridge men were able, gallant, and dangerous competitors. (Cheers.) Few persons knew anything of the difficulty attending the training and keeping together of a crew, and, while he felt naturally proud of the victory won by has own men, he was bound to say that in his estimation that victory was very much enhanced by the fact that the men op to them were in every way gallant, stile, and—as he had said before—dangerous competitors. (Cheers.) He again returned his sincere thanks for the manner in which the toast, so far as Oxford was concerned, was received ; and be hoped the men of that university would be always found in the foremost place. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GRIFFITH (captain of the Cambridge crew) on rising to respond was greeted with cheers again and again renewed, and lasting for several minutes. He said that for his own part he should confess he could have wished that he had never contested the race, but he did not think it in the s li g ht es t d egree any disgresee to him that his crew had lost the day. (Loud cheers.) He felt bound to say that last year there was a want of unanimity with respect to the contest among the men of his university. Of that he would not now my any thing as far as regarded details ; but this be would state, that this year the men of Cambridge bad done tbeir best. (Great cheering.) A complete unanimity prevailed among his fellows, and not a man who was asked refused to row —(cheers)—and he only hoped that if Cambridge rowed again, the men of that university would be as successful in point of pluck, of determination to win, and of the results, that they need not be ashamed of as heretofore. (Cheers.) He had heard it stated openly, and had seen it in the press, that there would be no race, and that the Cambridge men had deter mined not to row, but he left it to the public to say, taking the result into account, bow much truth there was in that assertion. He must say, however, that there was • great want of confidence in the captains of the re epective crews, resulting from an old and bad style or mode of proceeding among them ; and all he could say was, that if the Cambridge men rowed again he hoped he might be on the Thames to see them. (Loud applause.) Mr. Piricuee, the vice-chairman, then proposed , "The Houses of Parliament—the Lords and Commons ;" which was responded to by Mr. AMON, M.P. The Hon. C. CAINIOIII proposed " The Health of the Chairmen," which was warmly received. Some other toasts were given. APPLICATION ?OR A SUMMONS AGAINST THE "TIMES" FOR LIBEL. At the Guildhall police-court, on Saturday, Mr. Rigby Wason applied to Alderman Sidney for a summons against the proprietors of the Times for libel, and Alder man Sidney requested the presence of Sir John Diaspora to hear the application. Mr. Wason said his application was very shortly as follows. By the present law anything published in • newspaper of a character to bring a person into ridicule or contempt was libel. The publication of reports in parlia ment rendered the parties publishing them liable to an action for damages or a criminal prosecution. In the present case there would be no action for damages for himself, but the question was whether in the paper he complained of there was prieid facie evidence that there was • libel in the publication. Mr. Wagon added that his application was for • summons against the proprietors of the Timex for a report in parliament, and an article; and, acting upon a suggestion of Sir John Mus grove, be raid the libel of which he complained. Referring to • copy of the Times of Wednesday, the 13th of February last, he said the first part of the report that be had to complain of was in a speech of Earl Russell's, in which he says—" I did this, that when the petition was presented there might be a full opportunity of an answer to the charges which it contained. That opportunity the noble and learned lord on the woolsack has fullY and properly availed himself of. 'He has given • complete answer to all the charges made and it appears to me a matter of the greatest public importance that the character of our judges should remain, as I am happy to think they have hitherto been, unstained and pure in the eyes of the public. It appears to me, my lords, it is better that before an assembly such as your lordships such charges should be heard and refuted, and shown to be totally destitute of foundation, than that every peer should refuse to listen to a petitioner, and that a person aggrie ved should not have an opportunity of obtaining • hearing in the House of Lords." The next was from a previous speech of Earl Russell's—" In the next place it appears to me that Mr. R. Wason could hardly have refrained from priming his charges from any feeling of personal tenderness for Sir F. Kelly, but rather because he felt his proo;'s were insufficient, and that he could not bring to the test of inquiry the grave charges which he desired to make." The next part he complained of was the speech of the Lord Chancellor, in which he said, " Now, my lords, assuming that every word of this petition is as true as I shall prove it to be false, we must not forget thatthe facts upon which these most grave charges against the Lord Chief Baron are founded took place no less than 30 years ago, and that during that long period my right hon. friend has twice held the office of Solicitor. General and once of Attorney-General," hr. The next part of which he complained was in a subsequent portion of the same speech, " Therefore I must ask your lordships to go through the charges contained in this petition,. which I will still as briefly as I can ; in doing so I will refute them utterly, and leave it to the judgment of every im partial man to say whether there is a single word of troth in them." In those speeches be was charged with fabrica tion and making a ridge and unfounded charge. Alderman Sidney observed that Earl Russell had pre sented a petition from him (Mr. Wilson) to the House of Lords, and it was his lordship's remarks upon that petition that he complained of. Mr. Wason said that was so. Earl Russell never told him the course he intended to pursue on presenting the petition. He also went against the Times for a leading article. Sir John Musgrove referred to " Russell on Crimes," page 326, and read the following paragraph :--•• The mem. bon of the two houses of parliament by reason of theli privileges are not answerable at law for any personal re flections on individuals contained in speeches in their re spective houses, for policy requires that those who are by the constitution appointed to provide for the safety and welfare of the public should, in the execution of their high functions, be wholly uninfluenced by private considera tions." And again, at page 330, it laid down as a rule, that, " though the publication of a proceeding in parlia ment will in general be considered as privileged and pro tected from being deemed libellous, the presenting and delivering a petition to members of a committee of the House of Commons being according to the order of pro ceedings of parliament in their committees has been held to be justifiable." Alderman Sidney asked whether, if they had only pub lished that which was true, that would not be an answer to the charge? Mr. Wawa said it would not. Although it was true the speeches were made in the House of Lords, the matter in them was not true, and although the speeches in the House of Lords were privileged, the publication of them was not. It was of the publication he complained. Alderman Sidney said—Then they would have to decide upon that point. Mr. Martin (the chief clerk) advised the magistrates that the question they had to consider was, whether the speeches were libellous, and then to consider whether the nines was justified in publishing them. Sir John Musgrove said that after all Mr. Wason might my his brother alderman and himself must consider whether the report was libellous or not,and supposing they should consider that it was not libellous they would not be justified in granting him a summons. Mr. Wil2on said that undoubtedly it would be libellous if it were not true—but it was true. i r John Musgrave read the title.pap of a pam. phiet, which Mr. Wason acknowledged to be his, as fol- lows : " A letter exposing the falsehoods of Lord Chelms ford and Lord St. Leonardo, in order to deceive the House of Lords and stifle inquiry into the character of the Lord Chief Baron." He then asked Mr. Wilson whether he did not consider that libellous Mr. Wason said they could bring their action. Alderman Sidney asked, in the event of their deciding that the report was not libellous, whether Mr. Watson had any other remedy. Mr. Martin said yes ; he had an action for damages in a civil court. Mr. Wason said he did not want damages. The magistrates then retired with Mr. Martin to con sult, and in a short time returned into court, when Alderman Sidney said—l thought it right to save your time, Mr. Wason, if I ascertained the opinion of my brother magistrate after going In, and I have just put my decision down in writing, and it is this:—" I have duly con sidered your application, and having read the paragraphs of which you complain, after conferring with my brother magistrate and our legal adviser, Mr. Martin, I am of opinion I ought not to grant the summons applied for." Mr. Wason asked to have a copy of the decision, as he wished to take it to his barrister and get him to take steps to try the question in a legal manner. Tai Drvoatm COMM.—To-day Raster term commences. In addition to the arrears mentioned there are 134 cases for hearing in the Divorce Court, and four standing over. THE COLCHTATZE MURDER. —Oll Friday after noon, Henry Page Draper, who has been committed on the coroner's inquisition on a charge of murdering Mary Ann Pettitt, at Colchester, on the 23rd of February, was brought up for examination before the local magistrates the mayor of the borough (Mr. P. 0. Papillon) presiding on the bench. The prisoner was remanded till to-day (Monday). Draper appeared calmer when brought before the bench, but once the close of the coroner's inquiry he has been much depressed in spirits. When the coroner's jury came into court at 1 o'clock on Friday morning, the foreman said, "We return a verdict of wilful murder." Draper, who was in court, ejaculated "Oh, my God." The foreman of the jury, in continuation, added, " against Henry Page Draper." Draper exclaimed, " Oh, my God ; lam as innocent as the child in its mother's womb. As Almighty God is in heaven, I am innocent." The no. happy man, who had knelt down,.with his head on the floor, as the jury re-entered the court, rose on hearing the verdict, and then fell in a swoon. When he recovered he TM taken into custody by the head constable of the borough police. When he had finally recovered he said, " I appeal to the Great Judge if I ever touched that woman, or ever went to the side of the water. If I did may God Almighty never forgive me. I g o from here with • conscience fay knowing and feeling I never did the deed, so help me, God." ILLEGAL COURTS MARTIAL.—The rejection of the bills against Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant Brand by the grand jury will, probably, absolve those officers from fur ther prosecution, but it does not necessarily do so. The benefit to the service derived from the agitation of the Jamaica committee will be permanent, for the Lord Chief Justice's charge hes laid down principles which must operate on all future occasions, and the presentment of the grand jury will no doubt, be followed by s ome ex p ress ex position of the law. We have yet to wait for the promised instructions concerning the employment of volunteers in suppressing riots, but it is to be hoped that the officers of the army will he placed in a position to understand their duties when called on to serve on on "illegally constituted court-martial" They now only know what would happen if they disobeyed orders when called on to serve.—Army and Nary Gazette. THE CONVICTS TINDER SENTENCE OF DEATH.— No intimation has been received by the sheriff of any in tention on the part of the authorities to respite the pri soner James Longhurst, convicted at the late Kingston Assizes of the murder of • little girl named Jane Lux. It is understood that Mr. Baron Bramwell, who tried the pri soner, has intimated his opinion that there are no extenu ating circumstances for recommending the prisoner to the clemency of the crown. With regard to the other convict, . THE LATE BIEMINGHAK BANKING COMPANY.— The official liquidator' &re arranging for a further dividend of tie. in the pound, which they hope to be in a position to pay to the creditors (not being shareholders) in the second week in May. Karl Andersen, no day has been fixed foe his execution, and the opinion seems to be that the capital punishment will not be inflicted. There appears to be little doubt that the prisoner is • man of weak intellect, and it is pro bable that his sentence will be commuted to one of penal servitude. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY OF CHBQCEB.—At the Wbitchurch petty sessions on Friday, a woman named Martha Davies was charged with stealing • letter box, con , taining a number of letters, in one of which cheques of the value of 721. were enclosed. The box and its contents were the property of Captain Enery, of Terrick Hall, near Whitchurch, and is appears to have been the practice of the prosecutor to place his letters when ready for the poet in a wooden box, which bung on a nail in the porch. On the 25th ult. the letters were put in the box as usual, but in the coulee of about an hour it was discovered that both the box and its contents had disappeared. The theft was involved in the deepest mystery, which the efforts of the local police totally failed to elucidate, and Captain finery had given up all hope of regaining his property, when in formation of its recover was received from an une xpected quarter. On ascertaining the value of her prize, Davis. e had, it seemed, walked to Derby, sad there at tempted to get the cheques cashed. By purchasing some goods at a shop and offering a cheque in payment she got rid of one, and was making a round of the shops in her endea. your to obtain cash for the others when she attracted the attention of the police, and was taken into custody. The cheques being endorsed by Captain Entry in favour of Messrs. Cox and Co., the Army agent', London, the police communicated with that firm, and were thus enabled to trace the theft. The prisoner was unable to account for her possession of the c heques otherwise than by saying she had " found them , " and the magistrates committed bar for trill. tide Intelligente.

Jahn Beard, a well:iresteciQ --- m)ectablelo young man, was brought up in cue y, and before Mr. Alderman Carter wiih loitering in the City with intent to commit a felony. From the testimony of Timothy Carroll, 588, of the City police, it appeared that on Friday night, about ten o'clock, he was on duty in Wood-street, Cheapside, and saw the prisoner lurking about in so suspicious a manner as to induce him to watch the prisoner's movements. He walked slowly along and was seen to enter the doorways of several warehouses, and to attempt to get his hand into the letter-boxes of many of these establishments. The prisoner then went on into Cheapside, and put his hand into the letter-box in the office door of Mr. Foster, wine merchant, at the corner of Wood-street. From then the witness followed the prisoner into Bow-lane, where he repeatedjhis attempts at several of the letter-boxes in that locality and at last the witness took him into custody. On searching him at the police-station there were found in the possession of the prisoner several letters, differently addressed, and some of them open. Upon him were also found two legal documents each bearing a rm. stamp. One of the letters was addressed to Messrs. Beard, whose ad dress the prisoner stated to be in Old Broad-street, adding that Mr. Beard was his father, but this statement he (witness) had not yet had an opportunity of making an inquiry into, and therefore he asked for a remand. The prisoner, when asked how he accounted for being in possession of an undelivered letter, bearing the post mark of the Bth instant, said that it had been left by mis take at his father's office and that he bad intended to have given it to the officer to return to the postman, but that he inadvertently put itinto his pocket and forgot it. With respect to the two legal instruments he said he had purchased them for half-a-crown, and thought he could MAO a profit of half-a-crown by his purchase. Mr. Alderman Carter granted the application for a re mand with a view to full inquiries, and the prisouer was accordingly remanded until to-morrow. The letters and other documents found upon the prisoner were handed over to Detective-Sergeant Mass, with direc tions to investigate the matter. Just as the court was about to rise the father of the accused, accompanied by a friend, entered in a hurried manner, having accidentally heard the position in which his son was placed and applied to Mr. Alderman Carter to admit the accused to bail. iiii;;manCarter granted the application, and the required resoguisanees for his appearance to•worow having been entered into, the accused warn liberated.

COTTON GOODS.—MAJICII2IIThIt, Arm 13.—Badness here throughout the week has been on a very limited Seale, with= depresaion In prices. Messes. Munn and Co. give a :almost photographic) picture of the trade of this district, no far as spinners and manufacturers are concerned. They say, "con sumers are holed with a harassing and toeing trade, to which they can yet see no probable termination. There Is no hope for them, in fact, with cotton at Its yet artificial price. It Is nut of the nature of things. They may as well close their mills as struggle on In vain hope of a better state of things with the raw material at its present worth. To go on working means to go on losing their property. In this respect many see the beat, and yet the worst pursue : but others have Judgment to see what Is beet, with moral courage to do It. Others there are whose cir cumstances are such, that to suspend working would be to sus pend payment. Of course these have no choice but that of ow enmity." We have no change In the market since yesterday. Prices have dec li ned fully id. per lb. during the week In yarn, and there seems to be no improvement either in business or con. lidence. The sales of loth yarn and cloth are of a retail cha racter, and there is a prospect of still lower prices. The imports of cotton this week have reached nearly 100.000 bales, augment ing the stock to 710,000 helot while the quantity at sea on Its way to theae markets is 470,000 bales. Dleomaged by failures In the trade In this district, besides suspensions at Liverpool. buyers fur nearly all markets are disposed to stay operations for the present. The only sales made have been of a retail character. WOOLLILN.—Liazon, Minn Ig.—There has sot been a large attendance of buye rs at the cloth halls this morning, and an absence of animation has been evident in both departments In thecoloured market there has been littledolng In spring Roods: • few isolated parcels of amitosis have changed hands, beyond which nothing has transpired in thin fabrics. Attention has been chiefly directed to the heavier makes ; some tolerably good parcels of mixture coatings have met with purchasers, as samples for the coming season. flairlista have not shown any signs of Improvement the demand has again been small. and but few transactions of Importance have taken place. Prices remain without alteration. WOOL AND WORSTILD.—BiAneonn, APIUL 13.—Though the marked depression apparent at the beginning of the week somewhat subsided as the week advanced, yet the business done in wool was very restricted. Staplers have manifested no disposi tion to increase their stocks, sad buyers confined their orations more and more to the supply of their immediate and pe pressing want. Except In some choice poets, such as Down wools, both skin and fleece, and picked hop fee lasting& quotations have been a fraction easier. In wonted yarns the business has been very limited. The leading spinners of super 30's continue busy. Some small operations have also taken place in the better quali ties of carded yarns and in lustre'. Vnremunerative prices are frequently accepted to keep frames running. The same dulness prevails In the piece market. klanulacturers, like spinners, curtail production to the utmost, and are, notwithstanding, so limited is the demand, working to stock. The home demand is the best part of the trade, and yet It Is far below the average. The German and continental trade bare been greatly restricted on account of some apprehensions of peace being disturbed. The American business has been confined to a few purchases for immediate shipment. There Is no appreciable change In prices. HARDWARL.—Bramtnoaan, Aeitn, la—The trade of this town shows no vitality whatever ; the orders received through the factors who are most extensively engaged in the home trade are small, through shopkeepers evincing a marked reluctance to make up their stocks. the result of this is that in almost all the principal branches canted on here slackness is felt to an extent which is seldom experienced. At some of the manufactories there are departments where the men are not working more than three or four days, and the outworkers are worse off in that respect. both merchants and factors report that orders were never more eagerly sought after by the manufac turers, and that they are now executed in one-half of the usual time. In the metal trades generally quietude pre traila, and the demand for material falls very short of what it usually i. The foreign trade is reported of lam favourably . the orders on account of America have declined since the Tariff Bill was got rid of and as to South Africa and Australia comparatively little is being done ; the war rumours have also already unfavourably affected the continental trade. There is rather more inquiry for hardwares on amount of some of the Eastern markets. and the latest advice' from that quarter are more o ur The ironreasters' quarterly meetings terminated at Dudley this afternoon. hut matters affecting t►e trade remain in precisely the same position as at the close of the meeting to thls town. _ IJOHY.—CarnaloaC, APRIL U.—We but • small show of core Wheat was 3. dearer; everything else firm.

OPENING OF THE NORTH VALLEY RAILWAY.— On Saturday a short line of railway, running from the Midland line at Keighley, near Leeds, to Oxenhope, in the valley of the North, was formally opened for traffic. The chief interest in the event to the general public lies in the circumstance that the line affords &COM to the little moorland village of Haworth, which has attained a world-wide fame as the home of the Bronte family. Hitherto the only approach to Haworth has been by a steep and difficult highway road from Keighley, which is graphic ; dly described in the opening chapter of Mn. Gaakell s " Life of Charlotte Bronte. The new line of rail, however, has one of its stations in the village, the terminus of the line being about a mile and a half beyond, at a little place on the edge of the Yorkshire moors, ca ll ed Oxenhope.
