" SUPPOSING IT WAS MONDAY."—In a Dissenting chapel near Barnardcastle, a few Sundays ago, two farmers met. One of them, on his way to the chapel, had noticed a fine calf in his neighbour's field, svich circumstance gave rise to the following conversation. Addressing his friend in a tone which he intended for a whisper, but which was loud enough to be heard for several yards round, he said.— " Tommy, supposing it was Monday, what wad ye tak for your calf?" " Why," replied the other, " supposing it was Monday, aw wud tak two pund fifteen." " Supposing it was Monday, aw'l gi' two pund ten ?" "Supposing it was Monday, then, ye shall hev't." The bargain was thus con cluded, and the calf, we are informed, was duly delivered on the following day.

The result of " The Two Thousand" proved that public running was a better guide than private trials. The Wizard, from the easy manner in which he won, has now become first favourite for the Derby, and he will be a lucky man that pos sesses a better and a sounder horse. The Rap, who ran untried and not half prepared, another of John Scott's lot, obtained second honours. Tom Bowline has proved in public that his form is no better than it was last year. St. Albans won the Newmarket Stakes with such ridiculous ease that he must have a great chance for the big race at Chester. The great Chester meeting commences tomor row. The first race on the programme—the Grosvenor Stakes—has yet to be entered for. The Palatine Stakes appears a good thing for Trovatore (31b. extra) or Butterfly. For the Chesterfield Handicap, I prefer the chances of Ben Webster and Maid of Orleans. Traducer's forward position for the Two Thousand has, in a measure, spoiled the three-quarters of a mile Wynnstay Han dicap, he having so much the best of the 3 -yr-olds ; next to him Volcano, 4 yrs, Ist. 21b., looks tempting. Big Ben or Folkestone ought to furnish the winner of the Mostyn Stakes. The Chester Cup is expected to bring out a large number of horses, selected from the following : Yrs st lb I Yrs st lb Underhand Promised Land.... 4 8 0 Miss Digby Gaspard 4 7 8 Lady Mary gelding 4 5 10 Lon grange Twilight Tunstall Maid 5 7 2!

Tommy Noble 3 4 12 Birmingham 4 6 2 ;The Pr )phet 3 4 10 Timandra Brewer Petra I have set down, it will be perceived, 44 names, from which, however, there will be unquestionably some omissions, as two or three stables have more than one representative 'in the list ; but, as there may be some additions also, I feel confident we shall have about 37 runners at the post. At the Notting ham meeting, on Feb. 21, we witnessed the easy triumph of Wallace in the handicap, one mile and a half, over a field of 14, the only old horses that ran at all forward being Stapleton and Vigo, the former at a difference of 321 b for the two years, and the latter at 161 b for the year, and thus early the three year olds showed the form they have since retained almost throughout the whole of the early campaign. At Lincoln, in the following week, Vigo won, but as only three very indifferent three year olds ran—The Gentle, Desmond, and Kitty Kingston—no inference can be drawn in re spect of its result in favour of the four years old, though, be it remembered, the distance—a mile—is in favour of the young one. The Spring Cup at Liverpool, in the succeeding week, wit nessed the three year olds again in the ascendant, but on this occasion without much of a trial, as Apol lyon, carrying sst Gib, passed the winning post alone. At Warwick, the highest scale of the handicap proved no barrier to the success of a three-yr-old, Danae having won quite as easily as did Apollyon at Liverpool. Northampton saw the aged horses with no better luck, four-yr-olds—Simple Simon, sst 81b, Springwell sst 51b, Chance Shot sst 71b, and The Pitman sst 121 b—having the finish to themselves, as they had in the previous year. Again, at Newmarket, the three-yr-olds car ried the day, and the manner Confectioner and Man-at-Arms " spread-eagled" the field will not be easily effaced from my memory ; Remu nerator only of the thirteen old horses which contended that race being within hail at the finish, whilst in the field was the St. Leger winner, who was made to accord the winner 301 b for the year. In the City and Suburban Lame' f the aged horses were rather more leniently treated, and the result was in favour of a four year old ; Apollyon receiving 141 b from the winner, being second best, not taking into account Lord Nelson, who I believe only got where he did from the reasons above stated ; and thus anomalously enough the two short races, Lincoln and this, fell to four year olds. The Metropolitan saw the light weighted three year old St. Albans successful, Wallace, who had 101 b the worst of the weights with him, getting home second, and Clydesdale, who for his two years gave the winner 361 b, being third. Moura vieff, giving 291 b, finishing close up, though not quite ridden out. Of the old horses, Promised Land, Herne, Moura vieff, Tame Deer, Birmingham, The Squire, and Petra appear the most favourably weighted ; while the three-year-olds will be represented by Traducer, Horace, Man-at• Arms, St. Albans, Blue Ruin, Apollyon, Odo, The Prophet, and Weatherbound, if they are all allowed to take a part in the contest. The five best, to my liking, are Man-at-Arms, Long range, St. Albans, Apollyon, and Petra ; and the winner, I expect, will be either CORN EXCHANGE. The transactions in wheat in most of the country markets hold on Saturday were almost wholly confined to small parcels for immediate use. Tn prices, however, very little change took place. There was a fair consumptive inquiry for barley at full currencies ; and all other kinds of spring corn realised extreme rates. In flour the dealings were restricted. Throughout the Continent the value of wheat has further improved, and the demand on English account has been somewhat active. Other grain has commanded very full prices. In the United States very little is doing for ship ment to England. Only limited supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. From abroad the im ports amounted to 7,532 qrs. of wheat, 29,99 barley, 6,669 oats, 830 beans, 630 tares, 6,610 linseed, 6,223 rapeseed, 500 maize, and 781 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by land-carriage, were on a very moderate scale, but the general quality of the samples was good. There were buyers from Ireland ; nevertheless, the demand for both red and white qualities, owing to the comparative fineness of the weather, was in a very sluggish state, and, to have forced sales, fully is per qr less money must have been sub mitted to by the factors. The trade, however, was in a nominal state. With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. Good and fine samples were held at very full prices, but the demand for them was inactive, at late quotations. Low and damp parcels were very dull on former terms. Floating cargoes supported last week's currency. _ Scarcely any English barley was on offer, and the supply of foreign was only moderate. Nearly all kinds changed hands steadily at full quotations. There was a moderate inquiry for malt, at late currencies. Oats were in moderate supply, and stecsly request, at full prices. The supply in the market was by no means exten sive. We had rather an active inquiry for beans, at an advance in the quotations of Is. per quarter. Peas moved off steadily, at full prices. The flour trade was somewhat heavy. In the quotations, however, no change took place. CURRENCY PER IMPERYAL MEASURE.

Sales progressed slowly, at barely stationary prices. _ The supply of home-fed beasts on offer this morning was seasonably good, both as to number and quality. For nearly all kinds the demand ruled inactive, and in some in stances prices were rather lower than on Monday last. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10d per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,670 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns; from other parts of England, 650 various kinds ; and from Scotland, 46 Scots and crosses.

A WOMAN STRANGLING HER VIOLATOR.—On iday, Sarah Dixon, alias Barclay, was placed before Sheriff Campbell, at Glasgow, c harged with the murder of James Neilson, a miner. irom the evidence adduced, it appeared that the deceased Neilson was a miner, thirty years of age, and that, being about to get married, he gave a carouse to his friends on Saturday last, and remained drinking in Gorbals till early on Sunday mo r ning. Returning home, he met the accused, to whom he made improper over tures, which she rejected, and he then endeavoured to accom plish his desires by force, and succeeded in throwing her down, and was in the act of criminally assaulting her, when the accused alleges she seized hold of the ends of a worsted com f or ter which he wore round his neck, and drew them tightly, when, finding he relaxed his hold, she released her self, and on rising discovered to her horror that she had strangled the man. She at onco hastened to Kilbarchan, and endeavoured to arouse the inmates of two houses, tell ing them what had happened; they would not, however, believe her, but on arriving found the corpse as indicated. The accused's statement was confirmed in many particu lars, and the charge was remanded for further corroboration, ARRIVALS AT CHESTER.

ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) TIMINS V. STEELE.-JUDGMENT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The point on which I reserved my judgment in this case was solely the question of costs. The case itself arises on the right of the mortgager to pay the mortgage money into court, and get up the title deeds from the mortgagees. Each party has acted in perfect bona fides in the matter, an I am of opinion that each party should pay their own costs. The mortgage money to be paid, and title deeds delivered, within ten days. JUDGMENT-IN RE CHAPMAN AND CHAPMAN V. RE 1 NOLDS. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The singular circumstance in this case is that the testatrix gave by her will certain legacies and gifts to her relations :and friends, subject to the payment of all her just and lawful debts, funeral expenses, &c., and then directed that her money should be divided between her brother and sister, and she gave the residue of her property to her friend, George Reynolds. All the money belonging to her had been placed in the stock funds. His Honour was of opinion that as the testatrix had no other property of value, that the bequest to her brother and sister meant and intended the stock in the funds, and directed it to be divided between her brother, Dr. Chap man, in America, and her sister, Susan Smith, after pay ment of costs of suit. CIIEERBOROUGH V. WRIGHT. His Honour adjusted and settled the minutes in this case, and remitted to his chief clerk to take the accounts at chambers. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Crompton and Blackburn.) POTTER V. PARR. The court were occupied the entire morning in hearing the argument of the Solicitor-General in this case, which was an action for the infringement of the plaintiff's patent for self-acting mules for winding cotton. The case has already been tried twice, and again comes before the court, on an application for a new trial. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Wilde.) ASHFORD V. SMITH. The Lord Chief Baron delivered judgment in this case, which was an action for an illegal distress, tried before Mr Justice Williams at the assizes, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff with £lOO damages. An application had been made in the early part of the term for a rule for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence and excessive damages. The Lord/Chief Baron said they had consulted the learned judge who tried the cause, and he was perfectly satisfied with the verdict, and was of opinion the damages wore not excessive ; under those circumstances the Court were of opinion there ought to be no rule. Rule Refused. BARNET V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. The Lord Chief Baron delivered judgment in this case, which was an action originally brought by the plaintiff against the company to recover the value of certain goods alleged to be in certain packages delivered to the railway company. The company had pleaded non-delivery of the goods, and paid 10s. into court in respect of the packages alone, the real defence being that the claim was an impo sition, and that the action was brought to recover the value of goods never sent. During the proceedings in the cause, the plaintiff was indicted and convicted of receiving the goods under false pretences, and was undergoing punishment. The attorney, however, proceeded with the action, when the defendants added to their pleas that the plaintiff was a felon convict. Since the commencement of the action the attorney for the plaintiff confessed the plea, and then signed judgment for the costs of the action up to the time of plea, under the authority of the pleading rules of the Common Law Procedure Act. Yin Phipson had moved for and obtained a rule to set aside the judgment, on the ground that the being a "felon convict" he could have no right in the ac tion. The Court were of opinion that under the 22d rule, when a plea was pleaded containing a defence of matters which had occurred after tke commencement of the action, the: plaintiff should confess he was entitled to the costa up to that time. The right of action was not gone, because it reverted to the Crown ; it might be that the demand on the company was a fraud, but that did not destroy the right of action, and the defendants might have gone on with their original defence to show the fraud, instead of which they sheltered themselves under another plea, and the plaintiff having confessed he was, by the 22d rule, entitled to his costs • therefore the court were of opinion that the rule must be discharged, with costs. Mr. Baron Martin said it was usual to adhere strictly to the rules. Rule discharged accordingly, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(TMs Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY IN A POLICE CELL.—CURIOUS CASE. — Charles Harland, a porter, was charged before Mr. Bing ham with robbing Michael Cohen, a paperhanger, of 1, Albert. place, of the sum of £1 10s. in the police cell in Vine-street station-house ; the prisoner was also charged with assaulting a young man named Beard, and a young female named Eliza Sewell, shopwoman at Mr. Finney's, pastrycook, 6, Tichbourne-street, and with damaging some of Mr. Finney's property, but only the first charge was pressed. Michael Cohen said on Saturday night he was intoxi cated, and locked up in the police-cell at Vine-street sta- tion. After being there some time he told the inspector what money he had had in his pocket ; but, at the request of the inspector, on feeling in his pockets, found that nearly 30s. was gone, and only two sixpences and 2id. left. Langham, 108 C, said he was doing duty at the station on Saturday night. The complainant, who was not searched, was put in the same cell as the prisoner, who, when he was locked up, said he had no money about him. After being in the cell some time the prisoner asked him to get some refreshment, and on going back with it to the cell, ha asked the prisoner whether he knew what he had given him, and he said " Yes, a sixpence," but he told him that it was a half sovereign, and gave him the change, the prisoner offer- ing him a shilling for his trouble. He told him he took no money from prisoners, and the prisoner then asked him to take no notice of it, but as be had denied having any money when locked up, and prosecutor's dress was disarranged, he at once told the inspector his suspicions. The prosecutor was then fetched from the cell, and in answer to the in spector said he had among the money he missed two half sovereigns. The prisoner was then searched and a half sovereign and 18s. found in tt pouch in his pocket. A constable said that in the pocket of the prisoner in which the money was found, he only found a pipe when the prisoner was taken into custody. In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prisoner said the money was his own, but he would rather be tried by him than go to the sessions—ho would say he was guilty. Mr. Bingham committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. THAMES. ROBBING AN INSPECTOR OF POLlCE.—William Batche lor, depu y at a low lodging-house in Keate-street, Spital fields, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silk pocket handkerchief from the coat pocket of Mr. Joseph Dandy, an inspector of the II division of police. Mrs. Dandy, the wife of the prosecutor, said she was in company with her husband last night at a quarter-past ten o'clock, and was touched on the shoulder. She turned round and saw the prisoner in the act of taking her hus band's handkerchief from his pocket. She immediately said to her husband "He has picked your pocket," on which the prisoner said " No, I have not," and dropped the handker chief on the ground. Mr. Dandy . immediately took the prisoner into custody and recovered his handkerchief. The prisoner said he was guilty, and wished the magi& ,rate to settle the question at once. Mr. Yardley asked if the prisoner was known ? Mr. Dandy said he did not know the prisoner. Mr. Yardley—And he don't know you. Mr. Dandy—l should say not, sir, or he would not have attempted my pocket. Mr. Yardley said inspectors of police were not to have their pockets picked no more than other people. He should not think tho prisoner was an old thief, at least not in Whitechapel, or he would not have robbel Mr. Dandy, who was so well known there. The prisoner had not exercised any discrimination whatever, or he would not have selected an inspector for his operations. He sen tenced the prisoner to one months' imprisonment and hard labour. The Akkbar of Algiers says—Sir M. Pete has signed the contract with the municipality of this city for the Boulevard do l'lmperatrice, but he is not to deposit the caution money until the Imperial decree has been signed.

Birmingham, since Satur day, has come with a tremendous rush, and found backers this morning at 15 to 1 (taken eagerly). 100 to 6 was booked several times about Gaspard, and 20 to 1 would have been taken about Blue Ruin, but there were no layers at that price. 25 to 1 was offered about Satellite and Pro mised Land. 40 to 1 was taken about Marine.

TilE GRAVES AT SELASTOPOL: The Earl of CATHCART gave notice of his intention, on an early day, to ask the Government what steps they intended to take to prevent the further desecration of the graves of the British soldiers in the Crimea. SMITHFIELD MARKET. Lord EBURY rose to move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, prayingher Majesty to be pleased to direct that the vacant site of Smithfield should bo ap propriated in such a manner as would conduce to the health and recreation of the inhabitants of the neighbour hood. His lordship said that before Easter the house had been informed that the Government would not oppose the project of building over the late Smithfield Market. He had heard the announcement with very much regret, as it was of the utmost importance in a city like London that every vacant space should be left open. He trusted that the Government would reconsider the decision they had arrived at, because the effect of building on the site of Smithfield would be throwing away an opportunity that would perhaps never occur again of forming a place of recreation and amusement for the immense numbers of the poorer classes resident in the vicinity. The authorities of St. Bar tholomew's Hospital were strongly opposed to the erection of buildings thereon, because they wero of opinion that the result of so doing would be to render the air very impure, which was a matter of a serious nature to the patients of the institution. The Corporation of London seemed determined to erect a dead meat market on the portion of the :site over which they had control, but in the event of such an intention being carried out, all the evils that were so loudly complained of formerly would be revived. Dr. Lethaby in his report alluded very pointedly to the desira bility of having open spaces in the city, as it was stated in his report that the mortality amongst the children in three of the districts which at present was very great, would have been more had it not been for the open spaces in the western district. He hoped sincerely the Government would recon sider the determination they had arrived at. (Hear, hear.) Earl GRANVILLE, who was nearly inaudible in the gallery, was understood to say that as a compromise had been entered into by the Government and the Corporation of London, who had claimed the whole of the site, and that compromise had been embodied in a bill which was now before Parliament, the proper time to discuss the matter would be when the bill came before their lordships. The Earl of SAAFTESBURY. said the answer of the noble earl was very unsatisfactory. He thought the appropriating anyportion of the site for a dead meat m ar • ket was highly o b j ectionable, as it clearly appeared to be the desire of the City authorities to profit at the expense of their poorer fellow citizens. (Hear, hear.) He looked upon a dead meat market as a great nuisance—as a knackers yard—as the smells that would arise in the sum mer months would be perfectly insufferable. It had been said that very few of the butchers died from the effects of the impurities of the meat markets, that might be true I because they got plenty of good beef every day which was the best way to prevent any such results, but the poorer portion were not in a position to obtain that kind of food, and as far as they were concerned the worst results were certain to arise. "What ought to be done was to plant the the site with shrubs and lay the ground out with gravel walks, and thus:give the poor what they did not possess at present, a place of enjoyment and recreation. Much of the intoxication of the metropolis was mainly owing to the want of places of recreation, and if the sanitary comfort of the poor was better looked after, their moral condition would be sure to improve. Earl GRANVILLE said there seemed to be some mis- apprehension on this subject. The Government were cer tainly not opposed to making pleasure-grounds for the recreation of the poorer classes, and he hoped his noble friend would postpone the discussion until the bill he had alluded to was before the house. Lord E BURY said a few words in reply, and then with drew the notice. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(Tms EVENING,) The Si'EAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Brecon and Merthyr Tydvil Junction Railway bill, with the Lords' amendments, was considered and ordered for third reading. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Brompton, Chatham, Gillingham, &c., Water ; Denbigh, Ruthvin, and Corwen Rallway; Zdinburgh. TILE MEDITERRANEAN AND BOMBAY MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Euxine, Capt. Woodgates, with the heavy portion of the above mails, in charge of Post-office marine clerk Mr. Gilpin, has arrived.

Brock, R.N., from Hong Kong; Lieut. Paget, R.N., from Malta; and the Revs. W. Ponsford and How son from Gibraltar. Her Majesty's ship Amphion left Malta for Corfu on the 17th.

At Gib raltar, her Majesty's ships Scourge and Redpole. At Alexandria, the Egyptian fleet and a French brig of war.

The British vice-consuls who have returned to their posts are Mr. Castenson for Saffi ; Mr. Stokes for Mazagan ; and Mr. Elton for Mogador. The remains of Vice-Admiral Don Gabriel Cisea were removed on the 21st from the cemetery of Gib raltar to the Spanish corvette Villa de Bilbao. The procession moved from the cemetery through a double line of troops, extending to the place of em barkation. The coffin was borne upon an artillery carriage, preceded by a military band, playing the "Dead March in Saul." Guards of honour were sta tioned at the cemetery, and at the wharf whence the body was embarked. The ceremony of removal was attended by his Excellency the Governor, the civil and military offic:ers, the senior naval officer on. the station, the Spanish vice-consul, commandant of the Spanish lines, officers of the Villa de Bilbao, the foreign consuls, the merchants, and principal inhabitants. Alinute guns were fired from the batteries. His Excellency Gabriel Cisea was well known in the literary world for his numerous valu able writings, which obtained for him the various high offices he held in Spain from the age of 16 till that of 63. He served in the Spanish navy front the class of midshipman to that of its highest rank (a lieutenant-general), and for many years filled the high office of Councillor of State to his Catholic Majesty. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. On the motion of Mr. WHITESIDE leave of absence Walt granted to Sir H. Cairns, on the ground of ill health. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSTON said that he had to appeal to the house on a matter connected with the despatch of public business. It was usual for public business not to be proceeded with until half-past four o'clock; and he would suggest to the consideration of hon. members that in future business should be commenced at quarter past four o'clock, the effect of which would most probably be a saving of a half an hour in the dispatch of public business. (Laughter.) Mr. DISRAELI had no objection to the proposed alte ration, provided Ministers of the Crown were in their place at a quarter past four o'clock. THE FRANCHISE. Mr. WARNER gave notice that ha would movethat the franchise should be extended to occupations, but that persons possessing that qualification should be limited to the right of voting for only two members. Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that he would move an alte ration in the Reform Bill relative to the rate paying clauses. SAVINGS BANKS BILL. Mr. S. ESTCOURT wished to - know whether Govern ment would postpone this bill until after Whitsuntide, and then fix a day for its further progress. Mr. LAING said that, in the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he could not on the part of the Govern • meat undertake to postpone the bill until after Whitsun tide, but he would undertake to promise that it would not be brought forward for a fortnight. MANAGEMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT DOCKYARDS. Lord PROBY, the Comptroller of the Royal Household, appeared at the bar, and read her Majesty's most gracious reply to the address from the house for a commission to in quire into the management of the Government dockyards, which stated that her Majesty had directed such commis sion to issue. COUPONS. Mr. THOMPSON asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether coupons issued by railway companies for the payment of their debenture interest are rendered liable to the stamp duty of one penny by the new St , imp Act ; or whether, in the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, the wording of that act carries out the assurance given to this house by him, on the 26th of March last. namely, that " the resolution would not, in the slightest degree, affect the question raised with regard to the liability of coupons, or dividend warrants, to pay the penny tax, and that when the bill was drawn, the form of the clause would make this clear ?" Mr. LAING said that it was not the intention of the Go vernment to impose a tax on coupons, and he was informed by the authorities of the Inland Revenue that no charge would be made with reference to the same. THE WINE DUTIES. Lord HENRY THYNNE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether there was any foundation for the report that the final reduction of the wine duties is to take effect in August or September; or whether he intended to adhere to his original proposal that such reduction shall take effect on the Ist day of January, 1861 ? Mr. LAING said that he could not give an answer to the question, and trusted that the hon. gentleman would repeat it when his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exche quer was present. THE BRONZE COINAGE. Mr. lIOPWOOD asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer when the new bronze coinage would be issued? LAING said that some delay had unavoidably oc curred, but that the bronze coinage would most probably be issued in about two months. THE ROYAL PARKS. Mr. ALCOCK asked the Chief Commissioner of Works whether he would have any objection to allow a certain number of Thames watermen to have boats on the Serpen tine, and other waters in the royal parks, during the sum mer months ? Mr. COWPER was understood to say that the Thames watermea, to a certain number, would obtain permission to have boats on the Serpentine and other parks if they applied for ic. The water on the Victor;a Park was too shallow for the purposo of boats being used on it ; and he assured the honourable member that there was every desire on the part of the department of the executive which he represented to afford the public all the enjoyment possible in respect to the parks. GOVERNMENT MEASURES. In reply to Sir S. NORTHCOTE, Mr. LAING said that the Customs' Bill would be pro ceeded with this evening, but no other Government mea sure would be submitted to the house until to-morrow. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. BENTINCK resumed the adjourned debate. The hon member said that the Government Reform Bill was founded on data which were most inaccurate, and that the speech of the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr, Bright) was unsound in principle and incorrect in fact. For in stance, as regarded Rochdale, he (Mr. Bentinck) had re ceived a letter from a gentleman intimately acquainted with that borough, stating that; the Government returns gave no idea of what would be the effect of the Reform Bill in that borough, The £lO rating there most inadequately de scribed the character of the class that would be enfran chised by the operation of the measure. The writer further stated that the real increase of constituency in Rochdale, instead of 17,040, as stated by the Government returns, would be 3,480. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition benches.) He contended that the inevitable tendency of the bill would be to throw an overwhelming amount of po litical power into the hands of the lower class, who, from the accident of their position, could not be considered as the most eligible depositories of such vast political influence. (Hear, hear.) The writer to whom he had previously alluded had requested him to ask Mr. Bright how it was that that hen. member had so much more confi dence in the working classes than the working classes had in him (Mr. Bright), and how it was that nearly all of those employed in manufactories were on strike in consequence of the reduction of their wages. (Hear, hear, and laugh ter.) He denied that the measure, viewed by either side of the house could be considered as a great Reform Bill ; but that, on the contrary, it was abortive for good, though it might produce evil. He strongly complained of the prin ciple and provisions of the bill, that railways and large towns were considered as the chief representatives of the property of the country, -whereas the rural districts were entitled to that description. Having com mented at some further length on what he considered the unconstitutional character of the measure, he concluded by asserting that it resulted from the political necessities of the noble lord (Lord J. Russell), and that it was framed in a party spirit. Mr. WALTER said that in his opinion the bill would not realise the anticipations either of its opponents or ad vocates. (LEFT SPEAKING.)
