Mr. RICUARDS, M.P., gave the diners his impression of the House after a week's experience. He said that he found it an uncommonly slow and dull place, and he earnestly hoped something more lively would take place before long or he did not think he should bo able to stand it. Ho was bound to believe that the Trcsent House of Commons was better constituted than the last. Ho was bound to believe that, if only from the fact that Mr. Morley, Mr. Mun della, and himself were members of it. At the same time he was free to say that on analysing its consti tuent elements it appeared to him to have far too much of the old leaven which existed in previous Parliaments. It had, however, one advantage, and that was that it tad a larger proportion of earnest men than there were in the last house, for somehow, under the good tempered, superficial, and supercilious guidance of Lord Palmerston, the house had become totally devoid of all real interest and earnestness in public matters. Ho thought there were men in the house now who were seriously intent upon doing some good work, and if they proved themselves disposed to imitate the last house in triviality he trusted the country would make them to be in earnest. Mr. MUNDELLA replied for her Majesty's Ministers. tie) said he knew something of her Majesty's Ministers, and he believed that never in the history of England was there a Government so heartily bent upon making the people pros perous and happy as Mr. Gladstone and the men who served under him. The first great labour which lay before them was the question of the Irish Church, which had been a blot and a slain upon our legislation for three hundred years. He believed the investigation which the Government invited into the mode of procedure at elections meant not only the ballot but something more. Her Majesty's Govern ment were bent not only upon protecting the voter in the free exercise of his vote, but upon preventing every kind of corruption and impurity, and stamping it out not only in Parliamentary, but also in municipal elections. Adverting to Mr. Bright's "breakfast table," he pronounced himself in that matter a disciple of the President of the Board of Trade. Passing to education, he said he believed in nothing short of a national compulsory system of educa tion. The greatest blessing the Government could confer upon the people of this country was to give a good national system of education, and although he was himself a devoted and attached member of the Church of England, he hoped no religious difficulty would be allowed to stand in the way—that there would be no quibbling about conscience clauses, while people were growing up without knowing they had consciences, and ignorant of religion. There would undoubtedly (the hon. member went on to say) soon be trades unions legislation. He believed that the men had as much right to combine to put their labour in a joint stock and sell it in the best market as he and other large capitalists had to form a joint stock bank. All that Parliament could do for them was to place them on a foot ing to deal with the master or let it alone ; it could protect their funds, and free them from the effects of conspiracy. What he (Mr. Mundella) urged was this—when the men did not agree with their masters, let them send a few honest leaders to say that they were prepared to consult on matters, and then let them sit down at the board of arbitration in equal numbers, and whatever that board decided let the body of men agree to and work to heartily. Mr. MottLxv, in a large portion of his speech, referred to the local victory that had been achieved by the Liberals of Bristol. He then ran rapidly through the notices of motion given, to show that there was plenty of work cut out for the most industrious of the members to carry through. He expressed himself unable to understand why a landlord should have a preference in re spect to rent due to him over the ordinary creditor of the tenant. The only reason that he had ever been able to dis oover was this, that the law was made by the landlords. -He should also like to know why the property of a lodger should be liable for the rent of his superior landlord. The Irish Church, the dockyards, and some other general topics were then commented upon, Mr. Morley in each case approving of the course taken by the Government. On the subject of , education he confessed that the word "compulsion," as brought into contact with education, created a difficulty to his mind, but he would begin by an extension of the Factory Act. He had felt that those who aro making money out of the labour of little children should be made reEponsible to some extent for their educa tion, and he advoca el measures being taken to reduce the number of what w, ro called " Arab" children in our great towns. His concluding words referred to the ballot, which he warmly advocated. The Athenmum states that Rossini left three million francs (X 120,000), and the city of Pisaro is entitled to all the con - Tones property in Italy on condition that half of it is paid to the widow. A local paper says that Mr. Drax, the member for Wareham, has so far recovered from his late illness as to warrant him in the hopo of being able to attend to his pa r liamentary duties in the course of a few weeks, The Slumlord Mercury states that a bill of con siderable importance to agriculturists is about to be sub mitted to the House of Commons. It is entitled " The Adul teration of Seeds Act, 1869," and it enacts penalties for the adulteration of seeds—a process which it ap pears has been carried on to a serious extent, both to the prejudice of honourable seed merchants and the injury of farmers. The clauses are calculated to enforce integrity, and severely punish those who are cuiltv of fraud THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1869. JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHILDREN BEGGARS. —Eliza Hills, 37, and Agnes Hills, 11, were charged before Mr. Knox by the Marquis Townshend with begging. A second little girl was with the prisoners, but she was not charged. The Marquis Townshend said that at half-past 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the woman with two children in Princes-street, Leicester-square, in the attitude of beg ging, and knowing them by sight he watched them, and saw them go up to a carriage and beg. He then went to a constable and gave the prisoners in charge, thinking that the girl (Agnes) was just of that age that she might be saved. The prisoner Eliza said she went into a public-house to get a drink of water, and when she came out saw some persons with her daughter, and the gentleman (the Mar quis) told the constable to take her into custody, and he did so. Police -constable Deljole, 15 C R, said that yesterday afternoon his lordship gavo the prisoners into custody, and he took them to the station. The woman was sober. Eliza was committed for a month with hard labour, and the child remanded. THAMES. SINGULAR RECOGNITION.—Mary Smith, a well-fed fat woman, who owned to 43, but is evidently :many years older, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing 21bs of mutton, the property of Mr. George Monkton, butcher, of 269, Whitechapel-road. On Friday afternoon, the 19th inst., Mr. Monkton had just driven up to his house with his horse and chaise, when he saw the prisoner leaving the shop with a piece of mut ton in her hand. He at once recognized her as a person who had been convicted and sentenced to one month s imprisonment and hard labour for stealing 61bs. of pork from his shop in August, 1867. Ho at once laid hold of her, and said " You have stolen that mutton," to which she replied, "No, I have not." The shopman, who had turned his back for a moment, said the meat had not been sold, and she was given into custody. The former conviction was formally proved against her, and it was stated she had been in custody on other occa sions for stealing butchers' meat. Prisoner—l will plead guilty ; settle it at once, sir. Mr. Paget—No, I will not ; you are an old offender, and will go before a jury for trial. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on Loudon is 251.15 a. per .£1 sterling. On Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .£4 115.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GO days' si; - ;lit was on the last date about 1 81 per cent At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the Uni.ca :Cates. The general business t,f California is reported this winter as full of life. Improvements of all kinds are progressing rapidly. Money is plenty, and can be had cheap. Silver mining companies, with an aggregate ' nominal capital of .£18,000,000, have been organized in San Francisco during the last two months. In au argument before the Supreme Court at Boston, the other day, up= the meaning of the word " survive," in the will o f th e l a t e Joseph E. Worcester, LL. D., the distinguished lexicographer, one of the counsel cited the definition of that word given in Worcester's dic tionary, as indicating the intent of the testator. "A w !" exclaimed au English Cockney to a Western traveller in England, " speaking-aw of the law of primogeniture, 'ave you hentail in America ?" " Hen tail !" said the American, looking at his interrogator with curiosity ; "No sir. We have the cocktail in America, and a very popular drink it is." 7 BAIR ING REl'Ol:7 S. EPs)st.—At Liverpool we have, in the Annual Handi cap, Cheddiugton and Roquefort, but I think they will both be absentees. Molyneux Steeplechase—A la, L. S. D., and Fairyland are in, and the distance will suit L. S. I)., who cannot complain of his weight. The moderate Anti fora is the only one we have in the United Hunters' Race. Spring Flying Stakes—We have Sir Oliver, Macduff, and Onyx, of which trio I prefer Macduff. Sefton Handicap Seringapatam, Onyx, and Juanita arc engaged, and here again I prefer Mr. Hughes's chance, if Seringapatam runs. Grand National—We have no less than thirteen eng , iged here, but I may at once dispose of Roving Maid, Flat catcher, Bannockburn, Lord Ronald, Surney, Columbia, Ada, and Gipsy Girl. If the reported trial be true 1 may do the same with Fairyland, Clansman, and L. S. D., which leaves D espatch and Captain Cros i t ree . As the latter, I know, was tried on Wednesday afterrio - on over the Croydon Steeplechase Course (I believe, though I cannot speak positively, with C.C.), I suppose he came off second best, though I had a great fancy for him. Despatch they say has beaten The Lamb at even weights, and if The Lamb is really in form this of course would be good enough to win, but I knew from personal exprience that last year, when Nightingall had Lim in training, and Puttrell had Clansman, every time they were roughed up together, and even when they were actually triad Clans man could leave him after they had gone three miles, and could win as far as be liked at four miles; therefore, al though Dispatch is wonderfully well in at lOst 81b, 1 w ill never believe he can get the Liverpool course till I see that he has won. Herennanius is in the Welter Cup, and Cheddiugton, Aurifera, and Roquefort in the Hurdle Rice. The March Stakes is a gift for Pats if she runs. Sefton Steeplechase—Comberton, Despatch, Surney, Columbia, Ada, Roving Maid, Bannockburn, Captain Crosstree, Lord Ronald, L. S. D., and Gipsy Girl are engaged. This race is a gift for Despatch at this distance (two miles and three-quarters) if he does not get too much of a gruelling on Wednesday. The old Warrior should win the Welter Handicap. LAMBOURNE.—In the Trial Stakes at Liverpool we have Vulcan and Chassepot, and I think that Vulcan will turn out the best. Mersey Guy—Edith I don't think much of. She is also in the Spring Flying Stakes. King of the Rovers is in the Flying Stakes as well, but I cannot think that he has any chance of winning after his running at Lincoln. Tyro Stakes—The filly by Cramond out of Sempstress is in, and if she runs will give a good account of herself. relladruin still keeps doing good work. Mr Merry was down here on Thursday morning, and the fol lowing horses came out :—Sunstroke, Belladrum, North Briton, St. Mungo, Sunlight, Miss Hayes, Crocus; colt by Marsyas out of Symmetry, Sunshine, The Parson, filly by Dundee out iof a Zaidee, filly by Lord of the Isles out of Lady Lurewell, filly by Cramond out of Sempstress, Phosbur, and Disguise. The Parson led Belladrum a short canter. Sunstroke did the same for the others. Miss Hayes, colt by Marsyas out of Symmetry, the filly by Cramond out of Sempstress, the filly by Lord of the Isles out of Lady Lurewell, and the filly by Dundee out of Zaidee were put through the mill. The Marsyas colt won easily. Miss Hayes led 'Sunshine a good gallop. 'Sun stroke, The Parson, St. Mungo, North Briton, Crocus, and Belladrum went over the hill, where Belladrum went a rattling gallop by himself, going like a racehorse, and pulling his jockey almost out of the saddle. St. DluogJ led North Briton and Crocus over the same course, and The Parson did the same for Sunstroke. MIDDLEHAM.—The following horses are fit, and likely to go to Liverpool : —Three per Cent., Etoile Filante, Pride of Eriu, Nectarine, Maringua, Siege Train, and King of the Fairies, Etoile Fit int 3 is engaged in the Mersey Cup, Flying Handicap and Sefton Handicap. ThiP. mare has done a lot of work, and is very fit. If she runs up to the form she shows at home, she will Wu two of these races. King of the Fairies is very well, but may be ro erveel for Shrewsbury, where he ha. two engagements. Three per Cent. has had a good preparation for the Welter Cup, and is very fit. tiering-. 0 is in the Tyro Stakes, and is a very useful colt, He can gallop a hit, and I : have no doubt will run well. Siege Train is a smart filly, and quite fit. It will take a good one to beat her in the March Stakes. Honesty, I hear, cam) home last night, but I did not see him out to-dty (Thursday). He is in the Mersey Cup and Liverpool Cup. We have also Netherwood en gaged at Liverpool, but he is rtot nearly fit yet, although a very useful colt and a good goer.- STANTON.—At Liverpool we have Nutgirl and Jeanie Deans entered for the Trial Stakes. The last named is the best. Annual Hurdle Handicap.— Orne and Ada Pene lope are engaged, and should the first-named be'sent for this, instead of the Grand National, he will win. Spring Flying Stakes.—Salliet, Parma, and Nutgirl are in. Parma will about win if wanted. The two first -named are in the Sefton Handicap, but previous running will ha the best guide. The filly by Oxford out of Novara is in the Tyro Stakes, but I should think she will not run. Orne will find the company too good for him at the dis tance in the Grand National. Ada Penelope is in the Hurdle Handicap Plate, but your subscribers will be able to judge for themselves on previous running. Fitz-Adam and the Attack gelding have accepted in the Liverpool Cup, and should the first-named go for it he will be in the , first. • three. - .•• FINDON.-At Liverpool we have engaged in the Trial Stakes Fal-lal and Pompeii, The former is doing pretty well, and the latter is at Derby. Mersey Cup. —Sister to Vedette is doing regular and good work. Spring Flying Stakes.—Mistletoe, Fal-lal, and :tty are in. I have already spoken of Fal- lal. betty is still at D.knebury, and Mistletoe has not been at home since Liuco!n. Sefton Haudicap.—Sister to Vedette and Pompeii a re in. Walter Cup.—Sister to Vedette and Pompeii ate engaged. March Stakes. —Colt by Ace of Clubs out of Lemonade requires more time, although he has dou3 a considerable amount of work. Some other horses will no doubt be sent for stakes that have yet to close. Romping Girl, Cocoanut, Heritage, Vixen gelding, and Xi are doing au average amount of work. Warrington has been in physic since he arrived, and has not yet started in work. 11Lwros. —At Liverpool in the Flying Stakes and Sefton Handicap we have Tramp, Soubrette, Fichu, and Queen of York. The last-named has not been out since her return from Lincoln, though she is well. .As for Fichu and Sou brette, they are both well and fit to run, and whichever C. Peck runs will be found dangerous. Trampis in the Spring Cup, and I rather think this will be journey, as ()wain Glyndwr and Amendment have been leading a mile and three quarters gallop daily, first one and then the other. In the Tyro Stakes we have Navigator, who is well and has done a lot of good work. I think he will b e f ound handy if wanted. Taraban is leading The Spy, Royal O a k , and Thunder their mile and a half gallop daily. Zapolya is leading Toison d'Or, Kentish Fire, and The Clipper a similar distance. HENDEsFORD. - Since my last several of our trainers have been at Nottingham, but business has been pro gressing favourably at home. Our Liverpool steeplechasers are doing well, but all here are in favour of Fan, who will come out a star. Dick lurpin is looking and going well, but he is not considered good enough by the profes sionals. The Trial Stakes, Albion might win ; and Fan, if u pulledmight win the Hu r dl e R ace. For the Mersey C Willie reads well in. Fl ying Stakes —Master p, blaster as out, ter Tom will prove best from here. Tryo Stakes —Official Assignee will be hardly ready. Sefton H an di cap —Albion for the Sefton Wel ndicapter—M. uch will depend on the running t is y Ha fancy. NEWMARKET.—C. Green, since Lincoln, has done some good work with Guy of Warwick. W. Jarvis has given Havelock a strong preparation, and up to the present time he is well and fit to run. I expect ho will take a deal of beating. Friday—The following horses did their regular work : —John Davis, Wild Oats, Chatelherault Miss Havelock, Ryshworth, Blueskin, Vanichk2, Vespasian, Knight of the Garter, King Richard, Purveyor, Guy of Warwick, Havelock, Gardener, Brigstock, and Miss Day rell. My selections for Liverpool are : —Mersey Cup Vespasian. Grand National—Gardener and Havelock are sure to run well. Spring Cup—Knight of the Garter. ILSLEY.—We have Hammerton and Falstaff in the Mersey Cup at Liverpool, and I think Hammerton will about land if he rues, as ho is the best at the weights. Amour, Propre, Dawdle, Claymore, and Kellogg are in the Spring Flying Stakes, and I like Dawdle's chance the best. She will certainly take her own part. Of Mr Heene's pair, Hibernian and Henriette, in the Tyro Stakes, I fancy the latter will run well. LE)VES.—We have only three engaged at Liverpool— viz., in tke Foal Stakes, Prince Leopold, Hidden Treasure, and Princess Louisa. Which of the three they will send I have ne idea, but they aro a rough-looking lot, and in my opinion not worth standing. The horses here have been doing about the same amount of work as usual. The Derby horse Ethus is going on well, but I_think is not up to first-class form. FYFIELD.—In the Spring Flying Stakes at Liverpool, Marshal Ney and lone filly are engaged. They are well, but I have no fancy for either. The latter is also en gaged in the Sefton Handicap. She has done plenty of work, and is fit and well, but as she ran so very badly last year, 1 think she will find the company too good for her on this occasion. KINGSCLEIII II SIII CO my last, the following horses have being doing good work :—The Palmer, Blue Gown, Pero Gomez, King Cophetua, Siderolito, Vagabond, Morna, Rosicrucian, Lictor, Masterstoke, Miami colt, Madame Eglentine filly, Girasol, Blue Stocking, and Waif. Nyl Gail and Salamis have been doing walking exercise. We shall have no horses at Liverpool or Shrewsbury. Ricitmosn.—At Liverpool, in the Spring Flying Stakes we have Last Rose of Summer and East Coast. Both are well, having:done plenty of work, but I should stand the "Rose," as I expect iiiast Coast will about svinetnhea,Sreedfteant Handicap. CIIILTON.—I find that we have nothing g Liverpool, but we have several getting ready for Shrews bury. DEATH OF MR. W. STEBBING.—We regret to have tr) an nounce the death of Mr. \V. Stebbing, which took plaice on Friday, at Newmarket, after a lingering illness. The de ceased was brother of the proprietor of the Rutland Arms at Newmarket, and was well known as the trainer of Knight of St. George (winner of the St. Leger in 1854) and other horses. 3PORTING INTELLIGENCE —This DI/ VICTORIA CLUB--THIs DAT.
