At times it was Iwith extreme difficulty that those principally interested as commission agents for the provincial bookmakers and others could elbow their way through the excited throng so as to enable them to meet those with whom they had outstand ing balances ; and it Was not until an unusually late hour that the "Babel of tongues," and the exchange of money had subsided sufficiently to enable those least interested in the proceedings to commence speculation upcn the forth coming events at Epsom on Thursday and Friday. The CITY AND SUBURBAN, taking priority. was the first entered into, but it was with extreme caution the opera tions were carried out. Both Phantom and Vancouver ap peared to have a host of adherents, the former particularly, who gave evidence, from the eagerness to clutch at his open ing price, that they had something substantial to depend upon ; and at the close it appeared a real good thing at 11 to 2, at which price Vancouver was supported. 11 to 1 was ac cepted about Suburban to some money. At the same Ducat appeared to be met with on every side by opponents. All sorts of prices were offered, and every doubt expressed about his meeting the starter, but after patient inquiries we be • lieve we shall be found correct in returning his closing price at 100 to 8. The unexpected advent of Olive Branch in the city in the morning at all sorts of outside prices, instead of throwing oil upon the troubled Waters, created additional interest in the proceedings here in the afternoon, her closing price eastward being eagerly secured, and at last as little as 15 to 1 to good moneTwas accepted. Mr. Merry's represen tative did not appear so buoyant, and, notwithstanding his owner was present, 15 to I—five points more than his last quotation—was freely offered, without meetin g with a cus tomer. 1,000 to 60 in one bet was taken about Limosina, but similar odds could have been obtained to the last. Saw cutter was nibbled at, at his quoted odds, and Sappho from the outside division met with a few supporters at 1,000 to 20. The only mention we heard of the Great Metropolitan Stakes was with reference to Ducat and Brighton, the for mer at 8 to 1, and the latter at 20 to 1 to a pony each. THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS.---Oid Calabar, the de en.mt,eint appears was not Many in consequence gettingtonhuient next, 9 to 2, b u t d ur i ng th e afternoon here the highest offer we could collect has been tookisn')ifa vourse d t h o e n o e pa day,pt o t i t e u ntc the i club y b laid was half a point less, at whi ch p r ice he was supported favourite o theu ri mor te with some spirit. The Marquis was nominally at 5 to 1; a point more, we imagine, would have found backers. ] 1 to 1 was taken about Baron Rothschild's colt, and similar odds offered against Caterer ; Nottingham was backed at 12 to 1, and Marble Hill at 30 to 1. THE CHESTER CUP is a perfect dead letter. Th e on l y animals that came under our notice was Fairwater, about whom 100 to 6 was taken a few times, 100 to 8 Hadji Stavros, and 50 to 1 about Bevis. T HE DERBY.—Buckstone met with increas e d su pp or t this afternoon, 6 to 1 being taken quietly in well-inf orme d quarters to some £2OO or £ 3OO ; the only other quotations upon this important event were 40 to 1 agst Gemse, and similar odds against Lord Glasgow's lot, The following will represent the business done : CITY, AND SUBURBAN. 11 to 2 agst Phantom (taken) 11 to 2 agst Vancouver (taken) 11 to 1 agst Suburban (taken and offered) 100 to 8 agst Ducat (offered) 15 to 1 agst Vest colt (taken) 15 to 1 agst Olive Branch (taken) 100 to 6 agst Limosina (taken) 20 to 1 agst Sawcutter (taken) 50 to 1 agst Sappho METROPOLITAN. 6to 1 agst Panique (taken) 7to 1 agst Ducat (taken) 20 to 1 agst Brighton (Wien) CHESTER CUP. 100 to 6 agst Fairwater (taken) 60 to 1 agst Bevis (taken) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 4to 1 agst Old Calabar (taken) 5 to 1 agst Marquis (offered) 10 to 1 agst Caterer (take 11 to 1) 11 to 1 agst Wingrave (taken) 12 to 1 agst Nottingham (taken) 30 to 1 agst Marble Hill (taken) THE DERBY. 6to 1 agst Buckstone (taken and offered) 40 to 1 agst Gemse (taken) 40 to 1 agst Lord Glasgow's lot (taken) BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY. For the City and Suburban Handicap, early in the day, Vest colt and Ducat were decidedly out of favour; 20 to 1 was offered against the former, and 100 to 6 was laid against the latter. Later on, offers were not so free ; 100 to 8 was taken about Ducat, but we saw nothing booked about the Vest colt. Vancouver and Phantom were very firm, but Palestro was sent to the right about. The prices quoted against the others were obtained with difficulty, and most of them will see a shorter price.

St. Leger. In fact everything of interest to betting-men is to be found in the present num ber. The price is only Is., and no sportsman should be without it. AQUATICS. UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE. A large number of people assembled at Putney last even ing to witness the customary breathings of the crews over the course. Both had previously been out for a paddle in the morning, and after coming in the Cantabs thought it advisable, in order to be nearer their work, to have their outriggers lowered a trifle, and good judges think this was a change for the better. The Oxonians went out first in the evening from their temporary boat-house—the London Rowing Club having kindly placed theirs at their disposal ; and after paddling down to the bridge, started up and rowed over the whole course. They have undoubtedly con siderably improved, and nothing now can be said against their time ; but the Cambridge men are still very lively, and their pace for the first mile is quicker than that of their opponents. The Oxonians were timed at starting to take 37 strokes to the minute, which they afterwards increased to 40; while the Cantabs took 37, increasing it to 39. The Cambridge men took a longer sweep than their rivals round the Point; but their time till they were lost to the view from Putney was about the same in both boats, and they were within a few seconds of the same time at Mortlake. On the return the Cantabs practised several starts with an eight of the London Rowing Club, and it is said that they started indifferently, but lay down to their work in beauti ful time immediately afterwards. Both crews stand their work well, and every one seems to be agreed that they are very evenly matched, although the Cantabs have slightly the call in betting circles. TH EE' it appeared from the evidence ACCIDENT AT of King-street, Battersea, that —On Bedford,ACClD an inquest at St. George's Hospital on the body of James Hullyear, aged 22, who was killed at the International Exhibition on the afternoon of Tuesday last. of board with holes in t n t g h i e n l a nternation a l of Wm. Boyce, a labourer, the deceased was employed at Exhibition on Tuesday last in removing the blocks and chains off the ribs of the eastern dome. ll° was ha uled up from the ground by means of a chair , Which he then produced. (This was merely a slip it for the ropo to pass through at each end.) He was secured by another rope to the block, which, having re moved, he let down, He then was about removing the rope which held him to the ribs of the dome, but it got entangled, and to free himself from it he leaned forward to cut it with a knife. As soon as the rope was cut the " chair" went from under him; be was jerked out, and, to endeavour to save himself, he caught hold of a rope which was merely passed over ono of the ribs of the dome, and not fastened at the end. His weight soon causEd the rope to run, and he was precipitated to the ground, Mr. p age . house surgeon, said the deceased was brought in o n Tues day last with a broken arm and other injuries, but quite dead. George Fordham, foreman, said the plan adopted was considered to be quite safe, and, if the deceased had not used the knife, this would not have happened. This man was well up to his work. He had been in the " chair" many times. He was a very stead,' man, having been at the works since the commencement of the building, and he had never seen him the worse for liquor. It had been suggested that the men should be lashed in the " chairs," but the men altogether objected to it. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." all 100 all all all 100 100 100 all 102 5i 6 SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. SPORTING-THIS DAY, CHELTENHAM RACES, THIS DAY. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAP H.

(Great laughter.) CLERKS OF THE INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT. Mr. ROEBUCK asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he meant to propose any measure for the relief of the clerks of the Insolvent Debtors' Court ; and whether he intended to introduce a declaratory act for that purpose ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied to the question, and said that the matter to which the hon. member alluded to required some consideration. He thought that the clerks in question should present their claim, which would be referred to a select committee, and then the house would consider the subject with a view to its satisfactory settle ment. CAPTAIN COLES' PLANS. Lord R. MONTAGU asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty when. Captain Cooper Coles first submitted to the Ad miralty his plans, which have lately been adopted for ships of war; if such plans were reported on at the time; and if so, by whom, and whether that report was favourable or otherwise ; and if there was any objection to lay the papers on the subject upon the table of the house ? Lord PALMERSTON said he was not able to answer the question, but when his noble friend the Secretary of the Admiralty was in his place he had no doubt that he would answer the question satisfactorily. TURKISH FINANCES. Mr. FREELAND asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether any application had been made to the Turkish Government for their consent to have laid upon the table of the house the report of Lord Hobart and Mr. Foster on the finances of Turkey; whether the responsibility of withholding that report rests on the English Government or on the Turkish Government ; and whether that report has been printed; and, if so, to what class of readers her Majesty's Government are of opinion that a knowledge of its contents should be confined, at a, time when many millions of British capital are being invested on Turkish securities ? Lord PALMERSTON said that he had stated on a former occasion that a report had been presented to the Turkish Government, He believed that report had not yet been translated into the Turkish language, and there fore the Turkish Ministers could not be supposed in pos session of its contents. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR EASTER. Lord PALMERSTON said that it might be convenient to hon. members if he stated the intentions of the Govern meat with respect to the adjournment of the house for the Easter holidays. His right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had laid on the table certain resolutions, and if these were passed on Thursday, and reported on Fri day, the house would adjourn on the latter day. CHINA. Col. SYKES called the attention of the House to British relations with the Tartar Government and insurgent autho rities in China, and moved an address for copies of the despatch of Sir G.

HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. MILITARY DRILL IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Lord CAMPBELL said no topic, however inconsider able it may seem at first sight, if it bears at all on the in terests of the Volunteer movement, ought in the House of Lords to meet with inattention. It is in that house, if no where else, that the movement may rely on cordiality and sympathy, inasmuch'as most of those who habitually attend it either as officers or as lord-lieutenants, or as members of the late Government, or as members of the present Go vernment, have had an active share in its formation and encouragement. And if, as we hear whispered, :the move ment is now exposed to some rising hasards and some temporary clouds which did not formerly present themselves, the notice of to-day has greater prac tical importance than would otherwise belong to it. It is not, however, requisite to discuss at length the argu ments in favour of military drill in public schools at present. So long ago as December, 1859, a few months after the volunteer movement had commenced, deeming the time favourable, I ventured to address the editor of a great and well-known journal on the subject. Soon after, in February, 1860, at a meeting at the Thatched House Tavern, the same cause had far more powerful supporters in Lord Elcho, in the late Provost of Eton, in Lord Enfield, in Lcrd West, in Sir De Lacy Evans, and many other gentlemen who assembled at that place and at that t me with the view to promote the change I have referred to. A. few days afterwards a yet more influential ad vocate ap peared in the editor of the Times himself, who by a leading article lent his power and authority to bring about the ob ject of the meeting. My view rather is to counteract, so far as I am able, two impressions, either of which would be mistaken ; first, the impression that nothing has been done since the agitation and discussion in February, 186. 1 , on the question ; and secondly, the impression that what has been done requires no further efforts to secure and to establish it. So far from nothing having been done, before the meeting happened, and quite at the beginning of the year, some military instruction was introduced at Eton. Soon after Easter, Rugby, Harrow, Winchester, and Westminster, adopted the example. At a later period something of the same kind began at Charterhouse. At Wimbledon the public schools have competed for shooting-prizes. Not very long ago the Eton companies were reviewed by the Queen her self ; and the occasion was the last at which the lamented Prince was seen by the public. The discussions, therefore, in 1859 and in 1860 were far from being attendee with no consequences. On the other hand, and this is most important to consider all that has been done is voluntary and precarious. At any moment it may perish altogether. It depends on novelty, which must pass away on youthful zeal, which cannot always be relied upon on fashion, which is apt to change in public schools as it does elsewhere. Above all, it depends very much on the exist ence and the force of the volunteer movement in the country of which, in point of fact, it is a reflex. Already some decline has been exhibited. At Westminster, in spite of the zeal of the head master and the judi cious aid which he received from Captain Arbuckle the gallant and accomplished adjutant of the London Scot tish Rifles, it has altogether passed away. At Eton four hundred was the number who enrolled in 1860 ; two hun dred is about the number of the corps at present. At Har row at one time it ranged above two hundred, and has fallen to one hundred. At Winchester my information is less accurate, but it is not thought there to be established very firmly. At Charter-house the decline has only been from eighty to fifty. At Rugby there has been no sensible decline ; bat there, too, the basis is entirely precarious. Something exists, therefore, to which permanence is wanting, and the question occurs at once as to how far the commis sion on public schools is able to impart it by the sound and practical suggestions which daily offer on the subject. As it has not been included in the queries they have sent out although the instructions they have had would seem to be so wide as to admit it, the question is in some degree a doubtful one. A declaration from the Government would very easily resolve it. No doubt, however, the Commission of which Lord Clarendon is the head, are bound to approach the subject as unprejudiced inquirers, and not to assume the merits of the change on which public schools have thus provisionally entered. Its merit rests, however on a few con siderations which are very easy to refer to. Military drill at public schools, so carried on as to embrace the greater portion of the higher classes, must tend to make the volun teer officers effective. It is not in later life that they can gain with fulness and effect the aptitudes and information which their duties call for. It is not the want of energy or spirit, but of time, which is the obstacle. Professional pur suits are always in the way of military exercises. And a great advantage will occur if public schools sent out year by year a supply of young men already fit to take commis sions. But even if the force were ever so effective, what would tend more strongly to perpetuate it than the existence of a higher class imbued with military knowledge, and un willing to See the field of its activity withdrawn. But sup posing it should pass away with the fears and dangers which excited it, what can be more important to the country than to have its educated classes trained to arms, so that the militia would always be supplied with valuable officers, and so that any sudden levy of the people on a particular emergency should have the necessary leaders to direct and to inspirit it. As regards the moral, the intellectual , and physical effects of military drill on those who come under its influence, much has been and much may be said ; but it ie all subsidiary to the 'great arguments which show, however It is look at them, th a t suc h a s y s t em a t publio schools . S a means of national d e f ence a nd national security. far more easy to secure for it that permanence now wanting than at first sight it might appear to us. If it is secured at Eton it is secured at all the other according suitable to the detail which may be most publiobslechools to each.

The noble lord concluded • h fall upon o a the nd Wit the ques tion of w hich he had give notice. Earl o f CLARENDON, a ,. The e president of the public schools commission, said the i nstructions that had been issued had been so formed to embrace the subjec t o f mili tary drill. They not only proposed to inquire into the time devoted to study, but also into the manner in which the boys employed their leisure time. He agreed that it was of the highest imp ()dance that the Volunteer movement should become permazent, and also that it was impossible to speak too highly of that splendid demonstra tion. The subject, he assured the noble lord, would be y considered. most careful' COMMITTEES.

PIERS AND B ARBOURS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time on the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. WAYS AND MEANS. On the motion for going into committee •f ways and means, Mr. DISRAELI said he wished to make a few observa tions before the house went into committee on the financial position of the country, which he considered was one that was calculated to excite anxiety in the public mind. They had heard from the Chancellor of the ExcL'e quer the startling statement that they commenced the financial year without any surplus whatever. There might be circumstances when such a state of things might be a source of gratification, as for instance when there was a remission of taxation, or when that e was great prosperity at home and great tranquillity abroad. But such was not the case at present, for they had distress in the manufacturing districts, and they had disturbances in America, and they had to look forward to an additional increase of distress in the manufacturing districts. He contended that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been entirely deceived in the estimate he had formed of the result of the abolition of the duty on paper, and facts proved that he had entirely failed in his calculation. He denied that there was any real reduction in the national debt, as stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but there was a real deficiency, and he entered into statistics to prove his position. He alluded next to the in demnity fund received from China, and said that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had been deceived in this respect also, and instead of receiving £700,000 from that source the Government had not re.: ?dyed £400,000. The Chancellor of the Exchequer in his financial instate tuent,lasttw order yeadertros as make out years, in oo exceptianalhis case, described the li) h s e a q d u e t n h c e e h of o n t o h u e r C o h f i n a a w sc a a r t ; n b u t t h a s t i n h c e o u h s e e , (Mr. they . D w i e s r r e a e al ways engaged in hostilities of one description or the other, and he contended that the Chancellor of the Exche quer should, from the experience of the past, have included the contingency of the same in his calculations. The right honourable gentleman went in detail through. the different items of the Budget, and argued that these did not justify the glowing colours of the favourable financial position of the country drawn by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. He denounced in strong terms the remarks of the Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the income tax, and contended that that•tax should not be considered as a per manent tax in a time of peace. He denied that the Chan-. calor of the Exchequer was entitled to be called an economist. The income tax had been treated as a permanent impost which in itspresent form it could not remain. The minister had no right to fritter away the revenue of the country and leave that tax untouched. One of the most profuse finance ministers was constantly insinuating that he objected to the expenditure for which he was providing, and was burning to denounce it—a position at least not consistent with that political morality of which he was once the foremost ad vocate. Mr. BASS then rose to object to the proposal for the c'ntmutation of the hop duty, and the imposition of brewer s ' licenses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, referring to the latter topic fir,t. said that a modification of the plan as to the license would be necessary. The minimum rate payable by private brewers would be 55., and the charge would rise to 405., according to rent of houses, and in the case of farms to 235. Turning to what he termed the finan cial history, delivered with . the judicial impartiality of the historian by Mr. Disraeli, he said that the fallacy of his speech was that which ran through his policy and that o f his party, a want of dependence on the principles of free trade, which had given such elasticity to the resources of the country , . With considerable minuteness the right hon. gentleman proceeded to dissect and answer the arguments and criticisms of Mr. Disraeli, denying his premises ant.. showing that his inferences were incorrect, especially as - ca . garded the assertion that the last two years were not, hsex ceptional years; and th e r e was no t a top i c on wb',ch critic had dwelt, in order to prove the financial gravity of the situation, that he himself had not, to the best of his ability, laid before the house on Thursday last. He had never changed his language as to the ;income tax, or treated it as one which ought to be a permanent tax. Touching onMr. Disraeli's financial calculations, he showed that estimates of his had failed largely in the result—his two sole attempts at clever imposition of taxes, in the case of stamps en cheques and a tax on Irish spirits, producing only a third of the calculated yield in each case. As, to the repeal of the paper duty, which caused a loss of £600,000, now complained of, the opponents of that measure pro.. posed to part with £950,000 of tea duty, which would have been so much addition to the alleged deficiency. As to the vituperation and censure of Mr. Disraeli it was not difficult for him to bear them, for he was susta.ined by the recollec tion that far better men than he had been visited with the like. But he should be still more content if the effect of the right hon. gentlemen's speech was to bring the house and the country to a due sense of the gravity of the finan cial situation and the necessity for reduction of expenditure. As to the income tax, he was still of opinion that an in crease of the rate of that tax was a financial danger, and tb 0 rate at which it lately stood was caused by the necessitvi of meeting large military expenditure in 1859. He di'j not desire that that tax should be permanent, and if the coun try could be governed for something about £ 6 0,000,000 it could be done without ; but it could not be done with an expenditure of £70,000,000. Looking to the re-construc tion of the navy, and other exceptional causes, he did nit yet despair of reduction and retrenchment in the expendi ture of the country, although he did not speak of large and sudden reductions. A discussion of much length ensued, in which the Bud get and the whole of our revenue policy were reviewed, Mr.. Bentinck, Sir 11. Willoughby, Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Vance„ Mr. Lindsay, Lord R. Cecil, and Mr. Ball taking part in the discussion. Sir S. NORTHCOTE, in the course of an elaborate criti cismlast i o g f h t t h y e e ß a r u e d , get sin , e u e r l g B e s d 4, u t p h o e n r e t h h e a n d o b u e s e e n t h l a a t r g e during e the last eight years, since 1854, there had been, large deficien.. cies of revenue; in six of these years the deficiency had been L 6,144,000, and in two years there was a surplus of £2,400,000, leaving a net deficiency of £3,744,000. The questicn was, he observed, whether this exceptional state of things was going to end, and whether we should not retain any resources we had in hand. Unless the house made prudent provision for the year, either by an increase of the revenue or a reduction of the expenditure, it would not, he thought, do its duty to the country. The house then went into a committee of ways and means, when certain resolutions were agreed to, authoriz ing the issue of £1,000,000 of Exchequer Bonds, tb.e con tinuance of the income-tax and of the tea and sup) r duties, the charging of an excise duty upon occasional ::tenses to sell beer, &c,, a stamp duty and a customs' duty upon playing cards, and a stamp duty upon foreign loan bonds. THAMES EMBANKMENT, On the order for the second reading of the Thames Em bankment Bill, Sir J. SHELLEY said, as this embankment was to cost £1,500,000, to be paid out of the coal-tax, he asked the house to look a little into th© matter. He approved the project of an embankment, but he objected, for various rea sons, to the plan adopted, and he called for explanations and a detailed statement, that it might be seen whether the scheme was founded in justice towards those who were to pay for it. He moved to defer the second reading till the estimate of the cost of the work was laid on the table. The amendment was seconded by Mr. W. WILLIAMS. eccreoray Mr. COWPER stated the details of the es en tim d ate o , c t ii h e e length of the streets and of the e mbankment, r been before a se particulars, which,. he observed, lect committee. The object had be to the cost en to secure that object. The ho us e, i n obtain a plan that would the coal duties bill, would reading of the net commit affirming the second been n had to combine but would with efficiency, and he described the steps he had telt itself to the details of the plan, merely assent to of the embankment. Mr. AYRTON said , be fore this bill was Liroceeded with, the general principle of rapplYwg of the metropolis to the inhabitants ought ....tow what the sc h em e was, a nd to have an authentic st atement of the ex pense, and he challenged Mr. Cowper to say that he had suc h authentic statement. Remarks upon the plan and the riled Rema e of carrying it out wore made by Mr. LOCKE and Mr, Cox ; and, upon a divi sion, the amendment was negatived by 116 to 9. Th e bill was then read a aecond time, and, it being a hybrid bill, it was ordered to be referred to a select com mittee. The house %en went into committee upon the Hull South Bridge (Advance), after objections ance), some by Mr. A. SMITH 1 , 'wen a resolution moved by Mr. PEEL was agreed to. Cert ain bill s were f orwar d e d a stage , an d leave wa given, to introduce bills, and the house adjourned at twenty minutes to one o'clock.
