Mr. BRIGHT said he understood that the county court judge was mistakes is saving that the witness . had outraged society, sad be had withdrawn or apologised for those words. As the words had been quoted be (Mr. Bright) =it it was bet fair to the judge that this should be as the weeds imputed to him had brought down a greet dial of biome upon him in many quarters. Sir G. C. LEWIS obemved that he had erroneously said that this was a criminal ease, whereas it was • civil case in the county court. NOTICES OF MOTIONS. TITLES TO LAND. Mr. V. SCULLY gave notice that on Friday he would ask the AttereepOimend when he intended to introduce his bill for the registry of titles to facilitate the tmosfor of land. Usk= each bill were introduced at an early date he (Mr. Scully) should move • resolution that it was the opinion of that hews that it was desirable to have further facilities for the treader of land by a proper system of registry of titles. Sir C. WOOD said that the loin was raised to make good a deficiency in the payment for the railways ; and it was to be applied to a deficiency in the Indian expenditure at home, and which could hays been defrayed out of the payments for railways if they had been made, au as to pre vent the necessity of sending that particular money which was paid in this country from home to India, and to have money remitted from thence for the expen diture at home. The railways had only paid 4.5000u01., instead of 7,0110,000/., and ho required nearly 3,000,0001. for home expenditure. It was for this the loan was raised, which had nothing to do with the income and expenditure of India proper. The deficiency in India this year Wrn something shove 5,000,0001. Next year new taxes would probably give 3,000,0001., and the reduction of expenditure would be nearly as much, so that the income and expendi ture would about balance. The report was then received and agreed to. THE RED SEA AND INDIA TELEGRAPH COMPANY. On the bringing up of this report by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHINCER. Mr. BAILLIE wished to ask the right hon. gentleman whether it was cl ear ly proved that the line of this Tele. graph Company had bee'n in complete operation during the period of one month. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this question referred to matters which were involved in dia. pute, and were of great nicety, and he thought they would be better examined by the select committee to whom he proposed to refer the bill. He believed the fact was that each of the six sections into which the line was divided was in operation for the minimum term required by the contract, bat that tbe entire line was not in operation for that period. The report was agreed to, and leave was given to introduce a bill founded thereupon. THE POHTOMCE SAVINGS BANKS. Mr. MASSEY brought up the report of the resolution agreed to en Friday last on this subject. Mr. SOTHERONESTCOURT said he wished to take this opportunity of saying that this was one of those matters do reference to the transaction of public business which ought to be brought before the select committee to be ap pointed by the house. This was the second time the house had been called upon to pass a resolution about a matter of which they knew nothing. No doubt it was merely • formal proceeding, and would be of no use unless a bill were brought in and passed ; still this formal proceedings was susceptible of great improvement. The principle at issue was worthy of much consideration, for no man could have heard the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer without seeing that his proposition on savings banks was pregnant with the meet important results. In the first place, it might be said they were running the risk of entering upon a dangerous course, inasmuch as the government would be founding banks of deposit on a gigantic scale, and if the scheme should sue wed, it might affect the existing system of savings banks, as they would god their resources exhausted. He did not wish to throw any obstacle in the way, or doubt upon the measure about to be laid before the house. (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he thought the right hon. gentleman had made these remarks without knowing the precise terms of the resolution. Un- doubtedly it sometimes happened that the house was in the case of money bills called upon to consent to a preliminary resolution which involved a considerable sum of money be. fore they knew how it was to be applied. In this present case the house was not called upon to do anything more than to assent to the resolution, in order that a bill might be introduced which would contain the whole of the plan proposed to be passed into law. This was merely a formal proceeding ; but d the bill were sanctioned by the house, and Post-office savings banks were established by law, then li berty would be given by this bill to make certain charges as the Consolidated Fund. (Hear, hear.) The report was then brought up and agreed to. BANKRUPTCY BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, T; rising to introduce his bill, expressed • hope that it would come under happier auspices than awarded to its predecessor. He was not, however, so much grieved at the disappointment of last guano as he might have otherwise been, inasmuch as • number of topics had arisen since, to which at was necessary that great attention should be given. The house would recollect that one great objection against the bill of last session was its length, but he had sums then deferred to the opinion of the house, and the present measure would be of lees than half the dimensions of its predecessor. (" Hear" and a laugh.) They must recollect, however, that the bill of last year was • consolidating as well as an enacting bill. The law of bankruptcy w. 4 entirely lex scripts, consisting wholly of statutory provisions scattered through various acts of parliament, all of which had to be consulted in order to obtain • just idea of the law. He had felt it his duty to endeavour to ceesolidate all these laws, and in so doing it in sees an to include Use whole of the written kw en the saline!. This year he had omitted that portion of the bill, but he must own that in doing so he had abandoned his own judgment in deference to the opinion of the house. The object now was to introduce a bill that was likely to pass , and probably in some future session the house would be prepared to listen to a scheme of consolidation. It would be remembered that one of the great evils in bankruptcy to which the measure of last session had applied itself was the confusion that existed be tween the judicial and administrative functions of the court. They were, in fact, blended together in such a manner asto leave the one without order, economy, or regu larity, end the other with wither dignity nor efficiency. The object of the present bill was, first, to separate the judicial and administrative functions, and to bring home to the abode of the creditor all those duties touching the administrative part of the law which it was necessary should be disposed of before be was entitled to • dividend. At the same time it warn sought to establish such • system as should give to the judicial decisions such an uniformity as should make them more satisfactory and respected than et present. Another feature of the bill of this session was to give to creditor; in bankruptcy the power of settling their own affairs. It was believed that the moment a men became insolvent the estate belonged to his creditors, and that these creditors should be consulted as to the manner of administering and disposing of it. (Hear, bear.) Not withstanding the changes in the law this had DOS hitherto been the case, and not unfrequently the whole property disappeared in its passage through the court. The bill of last seaion sought to repair this mischief, end the provi des Wig retained in the present bill. Another evil which required removal was the enormous expenses of the court. It was, perhaps, unneceesary that he should justify a change in the law in this respect, but he might be pemiitted shortly to enumerate the different source* of expense which had been established by the existing system in consequence of the various enactments that had been passed since 1331. In the first place there was a heavy stamp duty on the intro duction of the proceedings into court. Next there came the charges of the managers, who received very consider. able sums for what must be allowed to be very slight duties. Then there were the fees of the auctioneers, the charges for brokerage, the accountant's fees, the public selling fees, fees to registrar, fees to the building fund, and an ad re form per center, on the assets, the effect of the whole being to drive all large estates where possible away frail the court. Besides this, there were the charges of the official soignee. maintenance of the bankrupt, and allow ' ance to the latter on a dividend; then the ex ' espied articles, with other charges, the collective result of the whole being often a deduction of 33 per cent. from the estate. To remove these charges as much as possible had been the object of the late and was the object of the present measure. Another object of the bill of last year was the establishment of an effective system of audit through the medium of the official assignee, and in certain cases to transfer the proceedings to the county courts. Another object was the abolition of vexatious formalities provided to give most unnecessary publicity ; and it was also proposed to give in cases of (mud a power of awanling suitable punishment. He thought the events which had transpired since then in the commercial world allowed that this was • most important provision. All these points he hoped to provide for in the bill he was now about to introduce, and which would contain all that he believed RSA attainable in the present temper of the house. Undoubtedly he could have cleared away all the existing erode at once by giving compensation, but as that was not agreeable to the house he must only do what was allowable without it. He must say, however, that no legal provision could supply the place of a proper supervision by the creditors. When they were indifferent or apathetic they must expect a re petition of those enormous defalcations, which unfortu nately were permitted under the present state of the law to go entirely unpunished. (Hear, hear.) He would now proceed to give them a sketch of what a proceeding in bank- ruptcy would be under the proposed change in the law, and afterwards state what he proposed to do in an entirely distinct branch, namely, the abolition of all distinction between the trader and non-trader. The law being now administered by numerous commissioners, and numerous county court judges, it was felt that a better plan would be to appoint one chief judge, so as to give uniformity and weight to the decisions. That portion of the bill of last year he hoped to retain. It was proposed also then to abolish the five commissioners, but as that did Dot appear to be acceptable he now proposed to retain the own mission:era. With respect to the Insolvent Court, there would be no difficulty in the reduction, fierjesiat Murphy having died since the bill was last before the house, and his succes sor having been appointed with the understanding that in case of any change in the law he was to have no claim for compensation. Therewonld thereforelie • chief judge and five commissioners to despatch all the bankruptcy and insolvency business for the whole of the London distnct, which extended from the bottom of Norfolk on the one side to the extremity of Hampshire on the other. Another part of the hill would deal with the jurisdiction of the county courts. The juris diction of the county courts would remain ; but whereas the former bill limited it to cases where the assets were under 1,0001., be did not now think it necessary to fix env limit, and therefore conferred on the majority of creditors the right to remove an estate into the county court, without any limit as to the amount. (Hear, hear.) Ha proposed, I however, that except in eases under 3001., or when Ithe debtor was a pauper, all petitions should in the first instance be presented to the Bankruptcy Court. THE CITY OF LONDON. Yr. AY RTOI4 ga;snotace iluttonFriCl;; week he should move for a select committee to inquire into the load taxa tion and government of the City of London, and the Gape dice," of constituting the metropolis a county in itself, for the administration of justice and the management of its affairs. _ LOCAL LEGISLATURFS IN INDIA. Mr. EWART gave notice that on Friday neat he should eel the Secretary for India whether it was the intention o ff the government to grant improved local legislatures for ndia. MENTONE AND ROQIJEBONE. Mr. B. COCH RA NE gave notice that on Friday be should ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a question re. co.. c . tin! the annexation of Menton. and Boquebo ne to BOROUGHS OF SUDBURY AND ST. ALBANS. Sir 0. C. LEWIS pre initial that on Thunday be should move for lean to bring in a bill to appropriate the orate for the disfranchised boroughs of Sudbury and St. Albans. THE BUMMER PALACE AT PEKIN. Mr. V. SCULLY gave notice that on the motion of the First Lord el the Treasury for a vote of thanks to the army in China be would call attention to the published state ments with regard to the Bummer Palace of the Emperor of China at Pekin being ruthlessly " looted" and destroyed, and to ask whether the noble lord was enabled to state whe ther it was burned down by order of the French as well as the English commander. CONVOCATION. On the motion of Mr. iiIINFLIST, the following return was ordered :—Copies of say petitions preseoted to her hfajesty by the convocation of Canterbury for altering the 29th cation of 1603 ; and of the royal licence granted to the convocation of Canterbury for altering the 29th canon. THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. Mr. E. JAMES inquired whether it was the intention of the government to introduce this session • bill for the reform of the corporation of London. Sir G. C. LEWIS said it would be bin duty before long to ask the house for leave to bring in • bill relative to the question of the present noel duty ; but it was not his inten tion at present to introduce any bill on the subject of the corporation. PROPERTY TAX AND PAROCHIAL AfiIiENDIENT. Mr. WYNNE aaked the fiectotary of State for the Home Department whether, is the measure which he proposed to introduce for the uniform saseasment of the county rate and poor's rata upon a common basis, provision will be made for enabling the county committees to bare access for their guidance to the property-tax returns in each parish. Sir G. C. LEWIS said the bill was printed, and would shortly be delivered. It did not contain any such clause as the hon, gentleman described, but there would be no ob jection, he understood, to introduce such a clause, provided it were limited to schedule A. MILITARY AND INVALID HOSPITAL AT YARMOUTH. Sir H. STRACEY aced thehater Secretary of State for War, w►ether it wu in contemplation to abolish or remove the Military Invalid or Convalescent Hospital, which had been is operation at Great Yarmouth for the last three years, sad if so, what were the reasons. Mr. A. H. BARING said as soon se the pending &triage meats for dairies the hospital IMO made, it would be given up for the naval eauvlips. SUPPLY. - INDIAN FINANCE On the order el the day for bringing up the report on supply, Mr. H. J. BAILLIE drew attention to the question of Indian Seance, urging that if the Indian government had received and aged the mosey paid by enherribers for the Indian railways, sad bed raised a loan to supply it, that made the deficit in the revenue nine indeed of six millions ; while, if the subscribers to the railways bed declined to pay their ealls,and this loan was raised to supply that deficiency, it was ■imply a boons to them not to pay what they were bound to do. He expressed some doubt as to the state ment that next year the revenue and expenditure of India would be bale end, (Stamped, ld. Additional.) TWOPENCE. With regard to procedure in bankruptcy, facilities were given by which estates might be administered under pri vate arrangements, without the necessity of having recourse to absolute bankruptcy, hut with provisions by which either the creditor or debtor might obtain all the efficacy and completeness of the ordinary process. After adju dication in bankruptcy the creditors would be allowed to decide whether the estate should go into the court or be wound up by private arrangement. The proof of debts would be made by a simple declaration by letter, if unopposed. Every facility would be given for the meeting of creditors, so us to secure expedi tion and economy. As soon as the efeditone assignee was appointed, the duty of the official assignee in the collection of the estate would cease, except in the case of debts not exceeding IW. The official assignee would require periodi cally the production of accounts from the trade assignees, would audit them, and see that minted RCM/UM' be sent to every creditor. The question of the discharge of the bank rupt in cases of any accusation against him would be brought in the first instance before the chief judge. The distinc tion of three classes of certificates would be abolished, and the judge armed with greater powers of punishment, amounting to twelve months' imprisonment iu awes of misconduct which did not amount to misdemeanour, among( which would be ranked trailing with fictitious capital, and by means of accommodation bills. The power now possessed by creditors of imprisoning a bankrupt whose certificate was suspended or refused would be taken away. The judge or commissioner would have power to try bank s• who hail been guilty of misdemeanours with a jury, if the bankrupt required it. Arguing against the impolicy of imprisoning an insolvent debtor instead of endeavouring to realise his property for his creditors, the hon. and learned ggeenatleman proceeded to state that boa traders in surrender- Lg be free from arrest, and the law as t rerrdsd ri r: would be placed on the same footing ▪ that relating to trailers. The first test of insolvency would be absconding from the country and remaining abroad with the intent of defeating the claims of creditors. Power would be given to serve petitions at the last place of residence of such a person, and abroad also, full oppor tunity being given to innocent persons to disprove such fraudulent intent. In case of judgments which could not be realised, a summons could be issued to show cause why the debtor should not be adjudged insolvent. Debtors arrested and lying in prison • certain time would also be so adjudged, and their existing property dealt with in the same way as that of traders, including the exemption of any future property from the payment of the debts from which they had been discharged. Power was, however, given to the chief judge in cases of delinquency to annex conditions,with regard to the liability of future property, to the discharge of non -traders. He regretted that he had been unable to abolish imprisonment for debt, but it was provided by the bill that every pauper prisoner could peti tion a county court at the expense of a fund now existing for that purpose. All keepers of prisons were to make re turns to the judges in bankruptcy of persons imprisoned for pure debt, and who would be adjudicated insolvent and ordered • qualified discharge, so that in fact no person could be imprisoned for more than fourteen or twenty days. He trusted that by the provisions of the bill the expense of actual bankruptcy would be reduced one-half ; while arrangements without bankruptcy would be the rule rather than the exception. They were aware that the Court of Bankruptcy had, by its present constitution, been made a self-supporting court. He did not propose to interfere with that, except with regard to the salary of the chief judge, which he proposed should be paid out of the general revenue of the country. In the former bill he proposed, in con formity with the recommendation of the commission ers, that the compensations which were given in 11131 to the officers who were then discharged, and which were charged on the fees of the court—and most unjustly, because that made after generations pay for the faults of the law and an improper mode of administration previously existing —he proposed that these compensations should be thrown on the consolidated fund. The house rejected that prepo sition. He now proposed that those compensations, instead of being thrown on the consolidated kn.], should be voted annually. He trusted that the house would remember that his bill created no compensations, and that he was dealing . only with compensations created thhrty years ago ; and he proposed to deal with it in order that he might accomplish the desired result—namely, the administration of the Court of Bankruptcy on the principle of economy and cheapness, which were absolutely necessary ; because if crediters were taxed to the extent of 33 per cent., they would resort to I say means rather than go to her Majesty's courts for justice. The bill, he hoped, would be in the hands of members by Wednesday morning; and he trusted, if they would give him liberty to introduce it, that they would give to the bill the earliest possible consideration; and he hoped with all his heart that the bill would have gone through committee and be submitted to the other house before the end of next month. [The hon. and learned gentleman concluded by thanking the house for the attention with which they bad heard him, and eat down amid general cheering.] Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Malins, and Mr. Crawford expressed a general concurrence in the proposal 'measurer. Mr. WALPOLE likewise commended the measure, doubt ing, however, whether it was wise to place the administra tion of bankruptcy in the county courts, and suggesting that in all cases of misconduct imputed to • bankrupt there should be a jury. Mr. JAMES approved the ',cheme of the bill. Mr. TURN El: said all that commercial men wanted was • speedy settlement and an easy malt of winding up bankrupts' estates, and this, he believed, the bill would give them. Mr. Mellor, Mr. Roebuck, and Mr. Paull made a few observations, and, after a brief reply by the Attorney- General, leave was given to introduce the bill. Mr. CARDWELL moved for leave to bring in a bill for the Registration of Births, Deaths, and Bemuses in Ire land, describing the machinery by which he proposed to effect the object. Mr. SCULLY threw out suggestions which he thought were necessary to render the bill unobjectionable in relation to marriages of Roman catholic*. After a few remarks from Mr. M'MAHON, leave was given. Mr. CARDWELL then moved for leave to introduce a bill for the better regulation of markets and fairs in Ire land. He insisted upon the importance of providing a machinery for this object, and of remedying a state of things productive of complicated evils, injurious not merely to buyers and sellers, but to the public, and he explained the machinery proposed by the bill, which was cheap, expe ditious, and simple, by means of local administration. The motion was agreed to, after some discussion. ROYAL MARINE BARRACKS, EAST STONE- MUSIC. --se-- ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. A piece of a novel description war produced at this theatre last evening; a melange o f rec it,tion and music, entitled "The SOllf lof in troths ; onladienLegend. The music by Robert Stoipel ; the words from the poem of Longfellow." Mr. Stepel was well known I ere, some years ago, as a musician of talent, and is held it like esteem in I America, where he has now fixed his reedeoce. This work was produced about two years ago at Suitors, as appears from a letter from Mr. Longfellow himself to the composer, r " music ol d irtica .mY th t :' ; Y h m o w on ': u m :f ur more t. in o. wh in i uc ch h th l ctioe n joy t ed ssy y s o. : I thought it, not only in part. but as a whole, sod as em bodying in tones the strange wild spirit 44 those Indian legends. I trust that its performance in N.:w York will be as successful as it was in Boston, and th ee you will soon return and give us again the pleasure of bearing it." Its subsequent production at New York, we la here, was like- wise sunmis- ful ; and thus, it seems, Mile Pyne and Mr. Harrison have been induced to bring it before the London public. Its form is similar to that of Mendelhanlin'e Antigone and adipas, after those pieces had been arranged for perform ance in the concert. The narrative portion of the pees is recited by an actress, aml intermixed with music in the shape of airs, choruses, and instrumental movements. As produced last night., the recitations were delivered by Miss Matilda Heron, a tragedian of great transatlantic reputation , who ha s now visited England for the first time ; the airs were sung by Mr. Corri, Mr. Wsllworth, Mr. St. Albyn, and Madame Palmieri ; and the choral and instrumental porti ons were performed by the admirable chorus and orchestra of the theatre, con deeded by Mr. Mellon. Wa esanot at this time give s tailed Recount of the performance, nor do we find ourselves able to pronounce a definite judgment on the merits of a musical work in which there is certainly much originality of thought and novelty of s tyl e . Th e libretto is entirely taken from Longfellow's celebrated poem, of which it embraces all the principal features. Intending to return to the subject, we may say in the meantime that the per- formance was admirable. Miss Heron has a fine tragic face and figure, with a nch, mellow voice, which she modulates with much art, and, apparently, with genuine feeling ; and her declamation of some of the poet's most striking and pathetic passages was much applauded. Several lens of the music, also, were rewind with applause ; espeutlly the choruses and descriptive orchestral pieces, which appeared to make a greater impression than the airs for solo voices. DRAMA. PRINtESS'S. The character in which Mr. Fechter appeared last night, Don Gear de Wean, has long been is favourite with an English audience, and accustomed as they were to the rollicking humour of Mr. WaHack, and the somewhat pon derous playfulness of Mr. Harrison (in the metrical version of the play), they were anxious to see what reading would be given by Mr. Fechter, who in so short a time has so strongly established himself among us, and • large attend ance of critical notabilities testified to the general curiosity. Mr. Pechter's is an original view of the character , notably in the find act. Both his predecessors, M. Frederic) Lemaitre and Mr. Wedlock, represented the Don as a th h Bohemian, a man who had lowered to the level of the coalari r i o n which the principal portion of his life had been and bad clothed himself with careless drunken raga until it had become his second nature, Not so Mr. Fechter, whose Don is • loose, penniless, scoundrel indeed, but who never forgeta that he is • gentle man, who wean his seedy cloak with an air of ton rather than of swagger, and who conserves his gentlemanly bear ing as jealously as his honour. When the real sense of his position dawns upon him, and he sees the strait in which be is placed, he rises with the °coition, and it is impossible to conceive a more perfect realisation of a young hero of romance than he presented. His face and figure are highly in his favour, and every action is marked, not merely wit the utmost finish and grace, but with an artistic intention for which we look in vain on the Engliah stage. His per formance throughout is polished in the highest degree, and should be seen by every one capable of appreciating the niceties of the bistro:Bic art. Only one th ing we would counsel him against, and that is playing at the audience instead of at those present with him on the stage ; in neither of his former characters has be shown • tendency to thin fault, which is one purely of English fashion, and we feel sure be only wants a hint to avoid it for the future. The other characters in the piece were well played by Miss C. Leclercq, Miss Harris, and Mr. Basil Potter. The applause throughout was hearty and frequent, and Mr. Pechter was three time' summoned before the curtain. BPORTIN6. - TATTERSALL'B.-MONDAT. The room was most numerously attended ? but speculation for some time was at a stand•still. Later in the afternoon, however, a movement was made by the meet active opera- tors, and sufficient nuaineas was transacted to enable us at the close to compile the appended list of prices. Of the Lincoln events, the Trial Stakes was first named, for which the field was backed at 5 to 4 against The Lawyer and Kildonan. THE HANDICAP.—Soine considerable busi ness was transacted upon this ram, Canto, from au outlay of upwards of 1001., being made first favourite, ut 6 to 1; 7 to 1 was booked about Spicebox, who appeared in force; and 9 to 1 each was offered against Jenny Longlep and Miss Emma ; and 15 to Ito a 'store " was taken about Walkington. THE LLYCOLNKHIIIi STREPLICHASE.—After some hesita tion on the part of the backers in selecting a favourite, Cockatoo was named, and 6 to 1 was taken about him to money, but shortly after, Doubtful, the stable companion of Anatis end Toni Moody, was introduced, and found sup port at similar odds, The Colonel and The Premier leaving off with backers at similar odds. 10 to I was laid to a " pony " against Bucephalus. 50 to 40 was laid on Cockatoo, The Colonel, The Premier, and Doubtful against the field. THE LIVERPOOL GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE. — Franc Picard, from a liberal outlay in the City in the morn ing, had a decided call of Mutts, 10 to 1 being the highest offer to be obtained against him, while 12 to I went begging about Anatis. The Emperor was supported in well informed quarters at 100 to 6, at which price he would have been backed for money, but layers were " warm ;" Jealeney was also i u demand, and 12 to 1 was taken to upwards of 100/. about her ' • 100 to 6 was booked about Cockatoo; 30 to 1 apt Tom Moody ; 6 to 1 to 1001. was taken about Jealousy and Frew Mud coupled. THE CHIMER Cur.—The betting upon the " Cup" was for the greater part of the afternoon completely at a " stand still," but at lest 12 to 1 to a small amount was taken, and afterwards offered against Chars Arnie ; Mao-at-Arms lacking support at 100 to 6 offered ; 1,000 to 40 was taken once about The lawyer ; and 28 to 1 to upwards of 1001. about Horace ; 1,000 to 33 was also hooked about North Lancashire ; 40 to 1 to 50/. about Wild Rose ; and 50 to 1 apt Sycophant. THE Two THOUSAND GElNEAR.—lliophanltis was in no request, 7to 1 being freely offered on the field. Bto I was the highest offer at the opening against Kettledrum, but 850/. to 1001. was subsequently obtained. 10 to 1 each was laid against Klarikotf and Russley, and 12 to 1 Matador. THE DERBT.—On the opening of the proceedings Dundee was in great demand, 4 to 1 to upwards of WO/. being eagerly booked, but at the dose these odds could not be obtained. 20 to 1 was betted against Dirmliantus, and 25 to 1 offered against Kettledrum without a response. 30 to I was the highest offer against Klarikoff. Bombardier was supported at 40 to Ito a small sum. 1,000 to 20 was laid against Preceptress, and 50 to I against Roug e Dragon ; King of Kent was again in request, 2,000 to 35 being taken about him ; 2,000 to 30 against Royallieu, 2,000 to 25 against The Gardener, sod 5,000 to 50 against Wm.
