CITY, Two o'CLocic. There has not been much animation in the mar kets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days, and prices generally have shown a downward tendency. At the public sales of tea a decline of ld. to 2d. per lb. has taken place on the superior kinds, and sugars have receded 3d. to 6d. Per cwt. for the better descriptions. For coffee there has been a very moderate inquiry, the deal ings haying been confined to immediate require ments. Rice has continued in good demand, and at full values. The dealings in fruit and spices have been on a limited scale, and have consisted chiefly of low and inferior kinds, which have rea lised about previous rates. The inquiries for salt petre were to a limited extent, and in tallow no Material change can be recorded. The public sales of foreign and colonial wool will commence on the 3d proximo. The money market continues to exhibit symp toms of improvement. A full explanation was given in Parliament last evening with regard to the reeent locking-up of bank notes, and the ques tion, it is hoped, will now cease to occupy attention. The public, having ascertained the cause of the late disturbance, are very eager to borrow in anticipa tion of future events ; the bankers and brokers, for the same reason, are now inclined to employ their means. The result is, that the market is decidedly easier. Competition, in fact, has been actively resumed, and bills are discounted in consequence at lower rates. The Bourse, indeed, is no longer the cheapest place of resort for the negotiation of choice bills, securities of that description exciting no demand elsewhere on terms varying . 1 . to 4 per cent. under the 5 per cent. minimum. But for these heavy payments, due in connexion with loans, &c., it is probable that the authorities would shortly be enabled to lower their quotations, and, notwith standing an occasional revival of activity, it is ex• petted that the tendency will still be in that direction. At the Bank of England, yesterday, there were no bullion operations of importance. Notice has been given that the sum of X 46,137 ss. has been employed in the redemption of 348 Peru vian 3 per cent. Bonds of 1853. Advices have been received of the arrival at Aden, of the 4th April, of the steamer Malta, with the London mail of the 19th March, en route to Australia; -The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed Moderately active, and' prices were firm. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market business continued quiet, and quo tations tended downwards. There has not been much activity to-day in the market for Public Securities, but a moderate amount of business was recorded during the morn ing at previous rates. Some heaviness, however, prevailed yesterday afternoon, and the market has not yet regained its buoyant tone, the state of foreign politics being spoken of in unfavour able • terms by the principal dealers and speculators. Consols have been 941 ; for money, and 94i 96 for the account. They are now 94t and 941 " sellers" respectively. The New Three per Cents. are steady at 93} and the Reduced at 939.4_•. India Loan is firm at 1061 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper remains at 981 1 ; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto at 104 ; but the Bonds are heavy at 143. dis. ; and Exchequer Bills are Bs. to lls. prem. The Foreign Stock Market has been moderately active, but prices are depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 761 ; ditto New, 611 I. Brazilian 41 per Cents: (1858) have receded to 90 ; Chilian 41 per Cents. to 851 ; and Portuguese to 431 4. - Spanish is firm at 47, and Dutch 21 per Cents. at 661. _ _ The ()clean Marine Insurance Shares are 22 prem. ; 'the Universal ditto, t prem. ; the Vio toria Loan, 1051 y. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on , a very limited scale, and prices have shown a downward tendency. Caledonian, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, Mid land, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-Eastern have each declined about 5s and Great Northern A. „Stock, £l. Bristol and Exeter have im proved Xl. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have have. shown very little variation. Buenos Avres and- San Francisco have improved to 51; Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to 341 ; and Great Wehtern of Canada to 13i.

THE MURDER AT ASTAMFORD.- , SUICIDE OF THE ACCUSED. The excitement occasioned by the horrible mur der of Miss Elizabeth Pulley was yesterday brought to a climax by its becoming known that Henry Corby, the man charged with the foul crime, had committed suicide in his cell at the gaol at Stam ford. It appears that the conduct of the prisoner, whilst in custody, had been such as to disarm sus picion that he was likely to make any attempt upon his life ; he was therefore allowed to sleep alone. Corby was visited by the Governor (Mr. Hewer dine) several times in the course of Wednesday, and was last seen alive in the evening, when he was locked up for the night. Yesterday morning it was discovered that the prisoner had hung himself; he had improvised a halter by tearing up one of the sheets of his bed, and with this he had sus pended himself to an iron stancheon in the windows of his cell. When found the body was not quite cold, but it was supposed by Mr. Howard, the gaol surgeon, that life had been extinct about six hours. On a slate the deceased had written, in a tolerably bold hand, the following letter to his family : "My dear Wife and Children,—l hope the Lord will pro • serve you through these trials and troubles, and pray to him to assist you. I hope you will all of you be friendly one with another. Joe, be sure you stop with Mr. B. as long as he wishes for you. You may be a help to your mother, and she to you. I hope you will all look to your mother. Tell her I think she had better go to the board and see if they will allow her anything to assist her. Now, above all, try to forget me as soon as you can. Sell all that I wore, so that it may not put me in remembrance. If any one mentions me, say you do not wish to hear anything. Ask the mayor if Mr. Ward (superintendent of police) should not give up the money and things he took from me. Joe, my dear boy, keep from public-houses. Ask Mr. Law (solicitor) if he has got any money in for you. May the Lord preserve you all from sin and Satan. " Adieu, my dear wife, from your unfortunate husband. " Adieu, my dear children, from your unfortunate father, " HENRY CORBY. " May the Lord rest my soul. Amen." The other side of the slate the prisoner had covered with particulars of work by him and of money due to him. An inquest was at once held on the body before Mr. John Torkington, the borough coroner, when the jury returned a verdict offelo de se. Although the wretched man made no admission of his guilt, little doubt exists from the evidence that was to be brought forward at the adjourned examination, but that he was the perpetrator of the dreadful crime. TEE lydTE FIGHT FOR THE CHAM PIONSHIP, Mr. George Wilkes, in a letter to the Times, says —I am desired to state, on the part of Mr. John C. Heenan, in answer to your report of this morning, that neither he nor any person authorised to act for him requested the referee at the late encounter between Sayers and himself to stop the fight when the ring was broken into. On the con trary, he and his friends, nearly all of whom were grouped in a little handful at his corner, repeatedly protested against the invasion of the ropes, and demanded that the fight should not be interrupted. In proof of this ' Heenan breasted his way three times through the crowd of persons who poured into the arena from the side of Sayers to renew the combat after that outrage had taken place, and who refused to leave the ring, and did not do so until Sayers had been withdrawn. He wishes me to say, moreover, that he feels sure that, had not that occurrence taken place, he would soon have made his victory manifest to the moat prejudiced person on the ground. As to the suggestion which has been kindly made by the editor of Bell's Life, that Sayers and he should have a Belt a. piece, he begs to say that, while ho will cheerfully subscribe to a new testimonial for his brave and honourable adversary, he will have none other than the one he came 9,000 miles to get, and which he honestly feels he has already won. Ile believes, however, he can win it again, if required to do so, and, if it be really amenable to conquest by a stranger, he will not leave your shores until he brings his late contest to a new and due conclusion. On the part of many Americans in Lond on w h o h ave called upon me, we repudiate entirely the idea ex p resse d a t the conclusion of your article — namely, that Heenan's American supporters " consent to the contest being consi dered a drawn battle." They, on the contrary, insist that the fight, if not decided to be already w on by Heenan, shall be considered as still pending, and subject to renewal at the earliest possible day. Through a note from the referee, which now lies before me, I learn he refuses a new arbitra ment this week (according to the usual custom), "on the ground of humanity ;" but, while the friends of Mr. Heenan cannot object to such a highly creditable motive, they dis claim for him the reouirement of any such consideration, he being quite capable of responding to the orde rs o f th e referee, and will so respond at an hour's notice. The friends of Heenan, while they acquit the upright and gallant Sayers and his immediate backers from any participation in the violent interruption of the contest, wish to declare the clearness of Heenan's supporters from any complicity with that outrage ; and in this connection desire me to say that when a man in our country who has engaged to subdue an: other requires outside aid to help him, as was given to Sayers in the 39th round, he is considered to be beaten. In short, whenever " humanity" justifies such interference, the verdict is given against the man whose conquered and hopeless condition requires the practical interposition of such a sentiment. In conglusion, I wish to say for myself that in the haste of writin my long report, the battle part of which has been pubthled here in an illustrated extra, a few errors crept in which could not be corrected for that edition, as I had no time allowed me to either revise my manuscript or read its proof. One of those errors was the omission of the wuid "ac - Lilo last, ll—. °fon. of the closing rounds, when, in speaking of the conduct of the persons who broke into the ring, it should read "they kicked at and struck at him," instead of "kicked and struck him." I send with this a corrected copy of that report, and if you will lay it before the gentleman who prepared your ably written account of Wednesday, and he will point out any errors I may have made therein, I will cheerfully correct it for perusal in America. 7111 S DA Y'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up, to-day, very little infilish wheat came to hand coastwise or by land carriage; hence the show of samples was limited. For all kinds there was a steady de mand, at fully Monday's improvement in the quotations. Owing to a largo influx, amounting to nearly 23,000 quarters, foreign wheat was less active ; nevertheless prices were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain commanded previous rates. There was a steady inquiry for barley, at full currencies. The supply of English was limited. Fine samples of malt sold steadily, other kinds slowly. In prices no change took place. There was a good consumptive demand for oats, at ex :reme quotations. Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday. The flour trade was healthy, at full prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

The runntng was made by Romsey to the road, where he was beaten, and Weatherbound came on, attended by Precise and Fravola. Precise dropped back at the distance, and Avalanche joined Weatherbound and Fravola half-way up; the three running a most exciting race home, the fa vourite winning by a head ; a " short head" only separated the second from the third ; Precise a bad fourth ; Ryton fifth; the other three beaten off.

The start was much delayed. At the last moment, J. Adams was substituted N. Sadler, who had weighed for Confectioner, an Pen'y did not mount Mazzini until long after the horses tad arrived at the starting post. The break ings away "ere frequent and vexatious, and the many fail ures cf,brely tried the patience of the spectators. The most prominently refractory lot comprised The Nun, Bentinck, Ariadne, Tocher, Regius Professor, and Yoicks ; and on the complaint of the starter, the respective riders of those horses were ordered to appear before the stewards to-mor row (Friday) at one o'clock. When the signal was given, the 36 competitors quitted the post in very straggling order, Bentinck, Ariadne, Confectioner, Tocher, Theodora, and Remunerator getting away in front, with Comforter in the centre of the nick, Birdbolt, who, with three or four others, lost much start, being several lengths in the rear. On going through the furze Bentinck, Confectioner, and Re munerator were nearly side by side, separated by a clear in terval from their pursuers, and they ran with little material alteration in their position to the bend, where Chere Arnie and Narcissus showed well up, Comforter and Lord Nelson being in their wake. After crossing the road Apollyon be gan to draw forward, and Bentinck dropped back, and Con fectioner soon after swerving to the left on the lower ground, Comforter. went on with the running, closely pur sued by Lord Nelson, Apollyon, and Tocher. Wells went vigorously to work with Lord Nelson, and by his exertions lost his cap. A very fine race with the first two ensued, Lord Nelson getting up in the last few strides, and making a dead heat. Apollyon was beaten a length and a half, having the advantage of a head over Tocher. Chere Arnie was fifth, Regius Professor, Brown Holland, Confectioner, and Drog heda next. The last lot comprised Curlew, Narcissus, Bird bolt, and Odo. Deciding, heat :—Betting, 6 . to 4 on Com forter.

NAT LA.XGHANI AND BEN CAUNT'S LICENCES. Tho adjourned Quarter Sessions for the County of Mid dlesex was held this morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, for the purpose of considering the appeals of Nathaniel Laugh= and Benjamin Caunt against the decisions of the Licencing Magistrates, refusing the renewal of their licences. The bench was very fully attended, and amongst the magistrates were the Assistant Judge, Mr. Bodkin, and Messrs. Burslem, Pence, Antrobus, Woolsey, Parbury, D. Fletcher, Harwood, Rankine, Sir R. W. Carden, Baylis, Uzielli, Griffiths, Hogarth, Healy, Garford, R. Ballantine, Major Lyon, E. Cox 'Wyatt, and, during the sitting, a number of other county magistrates. On the case of Nat Langham's being called on, Mr. Sleigh said he, with his learned friend, Mr. Le Breton, appeared for the vestry of St. Martin's, who had opposed the license before the magistrates in the case of Ben Caunt, and he thought it right at once to say that the vestry had no locus staudi in this case, and therefore ho could merely watch the case. His learned friends, Mr. D. Keane and Mr. Tindal Atkinson; would represent the respondent magistrates, and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C.. and Mr. Poland the appellant. Mr. D. Keane firm opened the case on the part of the respondents, and briefly referred to the cause of the refusal of the license to Langham's house, the Cambrian Stores, it being on account of the frequent complaints of the inhabi tants of the annoyance that was created by the frequent as semblage of a vast crowd of persons in front of, and inside the house, and to such an extent had it gone on, that the business of the neighbourhood was materially injured and the peace of the inhabitants disturbed by the nightly noises of dancing, rough music, and language of the most disgusting character. The learned counsel called a number of witnesses to prove the facts he had briefly referred to. Mr. E. James then addressed the bench en the part of the appellant, and said that this was a case which must be dealt with in a plain and straightforward manner, and must not be considered in a critical point of view, which ought not to bo listened to in a court of justice. It was well known that all persons connected with pugilism looked forward to a public-house as a harbour of refuge, and they must all recollect the days when Lord Byron and Mr. Hob- house went to Tom Cribb's ; when magistrates granted licences to pugilists it would be consummate hypocrisy to say they did not know the class of persons who would frequent the house ; all that the magistrates had to con sider was that the applicant conducted his house properly, and having invested a large amount of capital, the license ought not to be refused except from personal misconduct, and not because crowds assembled when a prize fight came off. They all knew that the late fight had created great interest throughout the country, and was as much talked of in the House of Commons as in every person's house from the highest to the lowest. After some further obser vations the learned counsel submitted there was no grounds for withholding the license. The Assistant-Judge said he did not purpose to offer any observations, further than the magistrates ought to decide upon the evidence, and not from any prejudice arising out of what they had heard. The magistrates then divided, when the numbers were— For the renewal .. .. 15 Against it .. 19 Majority 4 The licence is accordingly lost. THE COACH AND HORSES.-BEN CAUNT. The appeal of Mr. Caunt against the refusal of his license to sell excisoable liquors was next taken: Mr. D. Keane and Mr. Tindal Atkinson appeared for the respondent magistrate, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for Caunt. Mr. Keane, in supporting the refusal, said that the ma gistrates were governed in the decision to which they had coma by the most careful consideration. Tha license was refused on three grounds ; first, that Caunt permitted gam bling in his house; next, that he was in the habit of getting drunk, and, therefore, a very unfit person to conduct a pub • lie-house; and, thirdly, that it was a house of the same description—viz., a "fighting house," and, consequently, a nuisance to the neighbourhood. In addition to these ob jections, he had to inform the bench that Caunt had been fined no less than four times by the magistrates. Once in 1855 he was fined £3 ; next, in 1857, when ho was fined 20s. for permitting dis orderly persons in his house; then in 18d8, for permitting drunkenness ; and lastly, in 1859, for again permitting dis orderly persons t 4, assemble at his house. He felt he should be able to prove all that he had stated, and that being so, he thought the refusal of the magistrates would be affirmed. He then called James Cooke, police constable F 161, who said—On the 16th of Dec. I was on duty near the Coach and Horses, and I heard a cry of police, and a female told me I was wanteclat Mr. Caunt's. I went to the house, and I was directed to stand at the door to see that no one left the house. I was relieved by constable 30 F. He and Sergeant Davis went in. I know nothing of what took place inside. The records of the convictions were here tendered as evidence, but the Court ruled that they were not admissible. Constable 1 7 30, said I went into the house on that occa sion. A gentleman named Garrett said, in the presence of Caunt, that ,ho had bccu robLod and but the man had gone away and that Caunt knew where he was. This Caunt denied, and said the money had been lost fair enough. Garrett said he had lost about £l4. This was in the bar parlour. Caunt was drunk. He had a pint pot in his hand, but I don't know what was in it. Sergeantßallantine —A policeman never does. (Laughter.) Witness continued—A person named rage was also there. He said the money had been fairly lost. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Caunt never said he had been in the club-room. Sergeant Lambert was present. He heard all that was said. Policeman 14 C—l was inside the house on the occa sion referred to. Caunt said that Garrett and several others had been playing cards all day, and that the money was fairly lost. Caunt was drunk. I have been in very frequently, and I have sometimes seen Caunt drunk. In December, on the occasion of a prize-fight coming off, I have seon great numbers of bad characters outside. I have seen pictures of Heenan and Sayers exhibited in the win • doors. Cross .examined —I have seen such pictures as those I have named in other public house windows. I have been told sparrinc , has been permitted in the house, but I cannot swear that it was. Alderman Salomons—How many times have you been in Caunt's house ? Witness —About 18 times. Alderman Salomons--And how many times oul of those have you seen Caunt drunk ? . . Witness—About 10 or 12 times. Sergeant Ballantine asked the bench to ask the witness if he did not swear, when the magistrates below refused the licences, that it was only six times ? Witness—l said that six times out of those I had seen Caunt intoxicated, he was very drunk. Police-constable 4 F said that on the 16th of December I went into Caunt's house, at 12 o'clock at night. Garrett said he had been drugged and " bested" of about £l4. Caunt said he had lost the money fairly, that he (Garrott) had been dining there, and had drank 14 bottles of cham pagne. Tom Paddock then came in and took the pint pot from Caunt's hand, which he said contained champagne. Ile drank some of it, and then handed it to me. I ionised to drink. Garrett complained that he was ill from the effects of the champagne, but not drunk. Caunt was very drunk. Inspector Webb gave evidence to the effect that card playing had been allowed• in the house. Caunt, however, told him that if they had been played with the parties must have brought them in with them as he had never supplied them. Caunt has been very frequently cautioned about the way he had conducted his house. On the occasion of the fight by Tom Sayers and Bob Brettla it took six police constables to keep the street Blear before Caunt's house. Superintendent Haunant said he had seen a bill in the window of Caunt's house announcing that "sparring" took place there every evening, and he had received complaints of the manner iu which Caunt conducted his house. Mr. John Graorn, beadle of St. Martin's Parish, said he had been sent by the churchwardens an Sunday, the 16th January, to ask Caunt to take the pictures of Sayers and Heenan out of his window, as a crowd of persons collected in front of it in consequence of thorn being there during divine service. Mr. W. Lock, residing next door to Caunt's house—Said he was frequently, during the last two years, disturbed by the noises from Caunt's house. He had frequently been awoke in the middle of the night by bumps against the walls, banjo playing, clog dancing, and such like noises. During the last week he had lest entirely three days business in con sequence of the crowds congregated cathode Caunt's house discussing the fight for the championship. He was corn pelled to shut up the shop at seven o'clock in the evening instead of nine, owing to the crowds in front of Caunt's house. The nuisance was altogether intolerable. Mr. Marshall, churchwarden of St, Martin's, said he re sided opposite Caunt's house for nearly 14 years in St. Martin's-lane. His business suffered greatly in conse quence of the crowds who frequently collected at Caunt's house. He had frequently to sand to Vino -street Police Station to ask for the assistance of the police to enable his customers to either enter or leave his shop, This was the ease for the respondent. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then proceeded to address tho jury on behalf of Caunt. He contended that the case for the refusal of the license had not been made out. The ma gistrates by their;deolsion were not simply fining a'man five or ten pounds for some offense against the licensing laws, but their decision was, in fact, a yes or no to a question which involved his utter ruin. It was well-known that men of the position of Caunt, by the assistance of friends, and the hard-earned savings of their own, took public-houses and after having done so it would be absolute ruin if that license was taken away from thorn without a fair warning. He had conducted the house well for about 18 years, during which there had in fact been but one conviction proved against him. The magi strates well knew that a few years ago Caunt had had the misfortune to loose two of his children by fire, and that calamity had been increased by the loss of hid wife. He had, to a certain extent, had recourse to a method which destroyed recollection for a time ; but he was not what was imputed an habitual drunkard. H e trusted the bench would reverse the decision of the rnagis • trates below, and the expense and anxiety of the present proceedings would act as a final warning to his client. Mr. Bodkin then put the iluestion to the bench, when there appeared— For the renewal 8 Against it 24 Majority against renewal .. —l6 The decision of the magistrates below was affirmed, and the license was refused. Mr. Poland, on behalf of Langham, asked if the bench would allow him to dispose of the house before the license was taken away ? 1 4r. Let:l l 4in said the present was neither the proper time or place for such an application. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. The supplies of meat on offer to-day are seasonably ex tensive.

The following bills were read a second time :—West Somerset Railway, York Improvement, Metropolitan Rail way ; Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford, and Worcester, and Hereford Railways ; Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton and Severn Valley Railway ; Liskeard and Caradon Railway. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL , This bill, after a few words from the Earl of CARNAIt- VON, passed through committee and was reported. PRIVATE DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE. The Marquis of NORMANBY postponed moving the resolution which stood in his name this evening until Mon day. He was induced to adopt this course in consequence of Lord Cowley, her Majesty's Ambassador to Paris, who had stated his intention of being present, not being able to attend in that house that evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR said a very important measure stood for consideration on Monday, namely, the bill to amend the Divorce Act. It was very important that that bill should be proceeded with. The Marquis of NORMANBY said the noble marquis (Clanricarde) had also a motion on the paper for Monday. - The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said if the motion was meant as a vote of censure on the Government he would willingly give way ; but it seemed to him that it was not so intended, and it did not appear of any importance whether it came on that evening or that month. He tbought the motion might very well be brought on after his motion on Monday, if the noble marquis thought proper to bring it forward. The Marquis of NORMANBY said he was quite ready to proceed with the resolution that evening. He could not consent to bring it on after the motion of the noble marquis (Clanricarde). Earl GRANVILLE said it . was for the convenience of the public service that the resolution should be disposed of as speedily as possible, and he hoped his noble friend (Clanricarde) would allow it to take precedence of his on Monday nest. It was ultimately decided to take Lord Normanby's motion on Monday, and the Marquis of Clanricarde's on the fol lowing evening. Lord ST. LEONARDS hoped the Lord Chancellor would not proceed with the bill to amend the Divorce Act after the motion which they had just arranged should be discussed on Monday. As it had not been announced that the consideration of this bill would be postponed, he took it for granted that it would be proceeded with as it stood on the paper, viz., at the head of the business for that evening. MARRIAGES (EXTRA PAROCHIAL PLACES) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. ELECTIVE FRANCHISE COMMITTEE. Earl GREY named the select committee agreed to last evening on this subject. The list comprised the names of Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, the Marquis of Salisbury, Baron Stratheden, Earl Grey, Lord Belper, the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Lonsdale, the Earl of Stradbroke, Lord Overstone, Lord Llanover, Earl St. Germans, Lord Taunton, Lord Colchester ) Lord Stanley of Alderley, and several other peers. The Earl of DERBY thought that his side of the house was not adequately represented in the committee. Earl GRANVILLE said the Government had nothing to do with naming the committee ; it had been formed en tirely by the noble earl (Grey) who moved for the select committee. The Earl of STANHOPE suggested that the selection of the committee should be postponed until Monday. Earl GREY said the committee was merely for the pur pose of collecting information, and not for deciding any disputed question. He hoped their lordships would agree to the names which he had proposed. It was a matter of great difficulty to so constitute the committee as to meet the views of all parties. The committee, as named, was then agreed to. The Marquis of NO RMANBY said he was afraid there some mistake now with respect to the business for Monday. (Laughter.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said he could not for the credit of the house consent to postpone the consideration of the Divorce 13ill. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tms EVENING ) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Conway, Llanrwest, and Betteas-y-Coca Railway Bill was considered and ordered for third reading. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favour of the ballot ; for the abolition of the duty on malt; in favour of the Church Rates Bill; against any alteration in the marriage law; in favour of and against the Wine Licensing Bill ; against the provisions in the Bankruptcy Bill which prevented proceedings in private local courts in favour of legalising m arriage with a deceased wife's sister; praying the Go vernment to make arrangements to prevent the present ir regularities in the conveyance of despatches by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company to the West Indies ; against the abolition of church rates ; in favour of the total prohi bition of the sale of intoxicating liquors, &c. CHURCH RATES BILL. Mr. S. ESTCOURT asked the hon. member for Tavis tock whether he proposed to bring on this bill this evening, and, if so, he trusted that he would postpone it for the con ♦enience of the house. Sir J. TRELAWNY expressed his willingness to wade to the proposition, if Government would make an arrangement to enable him to bring the bill forward on any particular day within a reasonable time. THE SCOTCH FISHERIES ACT. Colonel SYKES gave notice that he would ask the Lord Advocate whether it was his intention to make the alterations in this bill in accordance with the recommenda tions made by persons practically acquainted with the subject. NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. CON IN GRAM moved for returns of all the pictures purchased for the National Gallery during the administra tion of Sir Charles E a stlake, president, R.A., as keeper, trustee, and director ; together with the prices paid for each picture and collection of pictures, with the date of pur chase, &c.—Ordered. • GREENWICH HOSPITAL. In reply to Colonel SYKES, Lord C. PAGET said that the report of the committee on the management of Greenwich Hospital would shortly be laid on the table of the house. CHURCH RATES BILL. Sir J. TRELAWNY appealed. to the Government to no minate a day for the third reading of this bill. Mr. DISItAELI said there was not the slightest disposi tion on the part of hon. members on this side of the house to offer any undue opposition to the bill of the hen. baronet in its next stage, but those hon. members did re quire that there should be a fair discussion on so important a measure. He protested most strongly against the bill being brought on this evening, when it was impossible to receive a proper discussion. The hon. baronet whg intro duced the bill had acted i n a s t ra i g htf orwar d masancr to wards those who differed in opinion from him with reference to his measure. He called the attention of the hon. hart. to the altered circumstances under which this bill was now brought forward, as indicated by the presentation of no less than 10,000 petitions, signed by nearly a million persons, against the bill, and appealed to him not to press his bill this evening. After some discussion it was arranged that the bill should be brought forward on Friday Rest, and have precedence of the other orders of the day, and the subject dropped. IMPRISONMENT OF CHILDREN. Mr. MELLOR called the attention of the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the operation of the Police Act, in reference to the imprisonment of young children for playing in the streets. Last year there were no less than 44 children, and since the commencement of the present year, 25 children of 12 years of age and under were committed to prison for playing in the streets. PRIZE FIGHTING. Mr. W. EWART inquired of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, as to the state of the law respecting 6, Prize Fighting." He denounced strongly the recent fight for the championship. It had been contended that prize fighting was favourable to the development of the national character, but the same had been asserted seine time sines by an hon. member in respect to bull-baiting, who added that its continuance was favourable to the connection of Church and State. (Laughter.) Notwithstanding the abolition of that brutal practice, there was no diminu tion in the courage of their soldiers and sailors. He be lieved that the continuance of those brutal exhibitions would be most prejudicial to the national morality, and that steps should be taken to suppress it. (" Hear, hear," and " No, no.") Mr. SCULLY said that the house, in the questions put to the Home Secretary, had gone from pitch and toss to man slaughter. (Laughter.) With reference to the fight for the championship, he contended it was a disgrace ful exhibition to see two human beings pummel ling each ether in the brutal manner that the men engaged in that encounter were represented to have done. If such an exhibition had taken place in Ireland, that coma try would be denounced as a nation of savages. (Laughter.) He repeated the statement. He did not bring any charge against the national character of England on account of this fight, and he was informed that Heenan and Sayers were Irishmen—(laughter)—and that Mr. Morrisey was also an Irishman—(renewed laughter)—but, if so, they were a disgrace to their country. Sir G. C. LEWIS said, with respect to the complaint relative to the imprisonment of boys, it appeared that the majority of those committals were for the offence of playing at games of chance in the streets of London. He had communicated with the Chief Commissioner of Police on the subject, and he stated that the administration of the law in regard to those street offences was not carried out with strictness. lion, members must be aware that in the crowded state of the streets of London the practice of boys playing was attended with great danger, and had cause d ser i ous acc id en t s t o pe d es t r i ans and equestrians, and it was indispensable to the public safety that it should be repressed. He thought the best mode to deal with boys guilty of these offences would be to inflict on them a slight corporal punishment and then liberate them, but he was not aware that such a course would be legal. As respected prize -fighting, those who were favourable to such exhibitions considered that they afforded a model for conducting fights between persons who engaged in pugilistic encounters. (Hear, hear.) It was considered a preferable mode of settling disputes, to resort to such fights, than to a d opt the.practice of the stiletto, or the knife, or that mode of fighting common in Ireland by the use of the shillela. (Great laughter.) He had no hesitation in stating that such fights were illegal, that those present at and abetting them were an unlawful assemblage, and might be indicted for misdemeanour. (Laughter.) With respect to the present site of Smithfield to which his attention had been called on by an hon. member, an ar rangement was proposed by her Majesty's advisers, which would be submitted to the Corporation of the City, and which he trusted would have the effect of settling the matter. As regarded Roman Catholic charities, a bill introduced on the subject on a former occasion would be renewed, with some alterations. REFORM BILL. Mr. E. JAMES asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the event of the Reform Billbeing read a second time during the ~present session, it was the inten tion of her Majesty's Government at once to proceed with the bill, or to agree to any motion to refer such bill to a select committee. He gave the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) credit for sincerity in regard to the bill, but he considered that the Government was guilty of apathy in reference to a measure of so much im portance. Lord I. RUSSELL said that the debate on the second reading of the bill was postponed unavoidably before the holidays, but it would be resumed on Monday next, and he denied, therefore, that the Government were guilty of apathy in respect to the bill. The whole question of the franchise could be adequately discussed by the whole holm in committee. (LEFT SITTING.) LONDON GAZETTE-(THIS EVENING.)
