AN COMMERCIAL (NTELLIGENOE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been an exceedingly active demand for money to-day in consequence of a large sum, amounting to £1,200,000 debentures due on the East Indian Railway, to be paid this afternoon. The requirements of the commercial classes, how ever, are very limited, and it is thought that after to-day affairs in the discount market will assume great quietness. The brokers have not, therefore, during the recent slight pressure for accommodation advanced their rates, and bills have been negotiable at 4- 3 - and 41 per ce n t. 8 In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteration, and the demand for bills was very limited. About £5,006 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. Two o'CLocx. At Paris, this day, according. to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 25c. Firm.

The LORD MAYOR reported to the Court the sudden and lamented death of the Rev. Mr. Davis, the late Ordinary of Newgate. Upon the motion of Mr. Alderman CIIAI,LIS, it was re ferred to the Gaol Committee to consider the duties of the Ordinary, and to report upon any alterations in the same which might be deemed necessary to the next meeting of the Court. TUE LATE BURGLARIES IN THE CITY. 102 & Ur. Alderman STONE (in the absence of Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Besley, who had given the notice) moved " that it be referred to the Gaol Committee to consider and re port whether any, and, if any, what alterations can be safely made with respect to the custody of prisoners under remand from the police courts of this city." He said he knew not what Mr. Alderman Besley's arguments in favour of the motion would have been, but of this he was aware, that the mode in which prisoners were kept in custody after a hearing before the magistrates was sometimes very harsh. At the same time statements were often made on this subject which were not, perhaps, altogether well founded. Nevertheless, there was some truth in them. The present motion was in all probability occasioned by certain proceedings which had lately taken place at the Justice-room of the Mansion-house, in reference to the Messrs. Barry, but more was made of the treatment of the prisoners in that case than ought to have been. Some times counsel raised popular feeling by dwelling upon the topic, but in the House of Commons Sir George Grey had very properly said that the matter was one which ought to be brought, if brought at all, before a committee of the Aldermen, they being the visiting justices of the gaol. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion. A representation had been made to him of some practices which prevailed at Newgate with re ference to remanded prisoners and prisoners awaiting trial which appeared very objectionable, and he thought a mode might be adopted whereby the treatment of such prisoners might be rendered less grating to their feelings. Newrga,te was a criminal prison, the name of which sounded harshly, and imprisonment within its walls was disagreeable and derogatory ; and, therefore, without wishing to raise any discussion, and being anxious to speak of all prisoners of every class who wore sent there under the presumption of guilt without any distinction, he still thought that such prisoners ought not to be subjected to any treatment grating to their feelings while they were untried. He belieyed that several usages within Newgate might be abolished without any injury to the public. Mr. Alderman WiLsox did not object to the motion, but ho was in favour of having the rules and regulations of the " ' That it is most undesirable that large masses of valu able property should be left in this city without resident protection, such a course acting as an encouragement to skilful and daring thieves, and casting thereby a most onerous and difficult duty upon the police force by with drawing their attention from other and equally important duties.' " The Commissioner of the City Police furnished your committee with the most ample returns relative to the mat ter under investigation, and gave the fullest information upon every point connected therewith. "After a very full inquiry we consider that the allega tions of the memorialists have not been supported bysevi deuce, nor has anything transpired to substantiate the charges contained in the letter of Mr. Walker as .to the general efficiency of the City police force. Your committee can discover nothing calculated to weaken the confidence which has hitherto been felt in the management and effi ciency of the force. "Your committee can only express their regret that pro perty of such value, and so readily convertible, should not have been more safely secured by the owners. "As there were matters involved in the reference which your committee were advised did not come within the pro vince of our jurisdiction, in pursuance of the resolution of this honourable court we sought a conference with the Po lice Committee of the Court of Common Council, and directed their attention to those subjects. They informed us that one of them —namely, the question of the pay of the force —was already under their consideration ; and that with re spect to the other—namely, the desirability of increasing the number of the force—that would also have their atten tion.—All which we submit to the judgment of this hon ourable court. "Dated this 18th day of March, 1865." In reply to Mr. Alderman CARTER., The TOWN-CLERK said this report was signed by Alder men Moon, Wilson, Challis, Rose, Phillips, Waterlow, Gib bons, Abbiss, Besley, Lusk, Allen, and Stone. Upon the motion of Alderman Sir F. MOON, the report was unanimously adopted. BILLINGSGATE ON SUNDAYS. Upon the motion of Mr. Alderman SYDNEY, a petition from the inhabitants of the ward of Billingsgate, praying the court to take such measures as shall relieve them and the public from the serious nuisance occasioned by the sale of fish on Sundays, was referred to the General Purposes Committee. 'THE PUBLIC EXECUTIONS AT NEWGATE. Mr. Alderman PHILLIPS moved : " That it be referred to the General Purposes Committee to consider, and to confer with the Secretary of State to - ascertain, if any and what alteration should be made as to _ the place of execution, with a view to avoid the serious objections consequent on the present practice of public executions within the city of London." He said that since he had given notice of this motion a com mission had been sitting to investigate the whole question of capital punishment, and that if the subject were referred by the Court he might probably be able to suggest a scheme for ridding the city of public executions, which would be worth consideration. Although some difference of opinion might prevail as to whether executions should be conducted in public or in private, he believed it would be generally admitted that a great public good would be effected if the fearful scenes of demoralization witnessed at Newgate on the occasion of these executions were altogether done away with. (Hear.) Mr. Alderman SIDNEY seconded the motion. He was anxious to await the report of the commissioners upon this subject, but in the meantime he thought the time had ar rived when public executions should no longer be tolerated in the midst of dense communities such as surrounded the Old Bailey. Hitherto those executions had taken place on the Monday, when the thoroughfares were crowded with Smithfield graziers, and when certainly the law, which ought to be sacred, was carried out on a most barbarous prin ciple ; but thanks to the present Sheriffs, the day was in future likely to be altered. He did not see why the civil law should bo behind the military law in this matter. When a soldier was to be shot troops were drawn up, solemn music was played, and the men viewed the sad spectacle in silence. How different this was from the scenes at an execution at Newgate ! He would not weary the Court with the description of what went on at the latter place. Once, when acting as sheriff, he went among the crowd &wog., an d never had he witnessed such bestiality and disorder. Instead of being the.deterrents, public executions were, in his opinion, the incentives of crime. Whether they ought to be carried on outside or inside of gaols, or whether the punishment of death ought to be abolished, might be debatable questions, but of this no one could entertain a doubt, that if they were to take place it was a crying evil that they should be carried out in the midst o three millions of people. (Hear, hear.) The motion was put and adopted. THE IHE.A.TAIENT OP PRISONERS LN NEWGATE. The TOWN-CLERK read the following report from the General Purposes Committee on the reference upon the memorial of the inhabitants of the Ward of Cornhill, &c., relative to the recent burglaries and robberies in that ward : " We whose names are hereunto subscribed of your Com mittee of the whole Court for General Purposes, to whom on the 11th day of February last it was referred to con sider a memorial of the inhabitants of the Ward of Cornhill relative to recent burglaries in the ward, and praying that the Court will immediately adopt such , measures as the serious exigencies of the case require—a communication from Mr. John Walker, of No. 68, Cornhill, requesting to be heard before the Court by counsel and otherwise in re ference to certain proceedings before the Committee of this Court, and complaining generally of the inefficiency of the police force of the city of London, and also a letter from the Commissioner of Police relative to certain resolutions passed at a meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of Corn hill, and ordered to be presented to this Court, and with authority to confer with the Police Committee of the Court of Common Council, do certify that we duly proceeded thereon, and we requested thefollowing of the memorialists to attend us in order that they might be heard upon the allegations of their petition—namely, Messrs.

Purssell, Messrs. Barber and Smith, and Mr. W. Johnson. " We were, however, only attended by Mr. Lund, who declined, in the absence of other memorialists, to give any information on the subject. " We also invited Mr. Walker to attend, and he accord ingly did, attended by his two sons. But he also declined to give any information with respect to the statements made in his letter on the groundthat the proceedings of the Court were private. (Hear, hear.) " We have carefully considered the allegations contained both in the memorial of the inhabitants of Cornhill and also of the matters referred to, in the letter of Mr. - Walker, as well as the communication of the Commissioner of Police. We have also had before us the proceedings of a meeting held in the ward of Cheap to consider the subject of the late robberies, at which the following resolution was passed : RI rilE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 18C Court of Aldermen, Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall? the Lord Mayor in the chair. ABSENCE OF THE SHERIFFS. When tire Sheriffs were called to give in their report upon the state of the City prisons it appeared that both of them were absent, and that there was no report in conse quence to be presented. Mr. Alderman WILSON said he had been a member of the Court for 30 years, and never during his experience had the Sheriffs of the city failed to put in an appearance at these meetings. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, - WES TMINS TER. DISGRACEFUL PERJURY. — Richard Mosert, a young man, was charged with violently assaulting Martha Pink, a young woman, who described herself as an ironer, and who exhi bited a black eye. Complainant said that she had been last night to a benefit ball at the Cremorne tap, and with her sister and mother Went to Hungerfoid-bridge to see a young friend home. Returning by the World's -end-passage the defendant rushed out of a house and struck complainant in the eye and kicked her. In reply to questions from the Court, complainant said that the defendant was at the ball, and there spat upon her sister two or three times. None of the family had ever given defendant the least provocation, and complainant had no idea of the cause of the attack. Defendant said that he had been a witness against com plainant's sister's young man for felony, and the accused was sentenced to a long period of imprisonment. Since then the complainant and all her family constantly insulted him, and last night followed him to the King's Arms and attacked him. 1 Complainant and h er s i s t er a d m i tted that they came into the King's Ar ms an d h a d some ale, but denied seeing the defendant. - Complainant's moth er was ca ll e d , and swore most posi tively that she and h er d aug ht ers only passed through the King's Arms, never stopped a second, and had no drink. Mr. Arnold—Your daughters have sworn they had some ale there. The Mother—Well, if I speak the truth they did have a glass of 'ale. Mr. Arnold—Stand down. You are perfectly unworthy of credit. I must have some disinterested testimony if possible. I cannot act on this evidence. Defendant must find a £5 bail for his appearance to-morrow. Bail was put in. THAMES. FEMILE HIGHWAY ROBBEIL—Mary Ann Sullivan, aged 28 years, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 3s. 2d. from a little boy named Henry Goodbody. The lad was in the employ of Mr. Roxborough, a trades man, who entrusted him with 3s. yesterday evening, and sent him on an errand. The boy was met by the prisoner at the entrance of a narrow court in Alie-street, White chapel. She slapped him and asked if he had any money about him. The boy declined answering the question, and she put her hand into his waistcoat, and took the 3s. he had put there. She then searched his other pockets, and took from one of them 2d. of his own money. The boy called out for the police, and the prisoner and another woman, who was standing at the corner of the court when the robbery was committed, ran away. The boy pursued the prisoner, who dodged him about the courts and alleys with - which the locality abounds, and she at last entered a public-house and made an attempt to con ceal herself. She was given into the custody of Police constable Rnackston, No. 200 11, to whom she gave two sixpences, and she said that was all the money she pos sessed. She was searched in the poliee-station by a female, and 2s. more found in her bosom. Some halfpence were also found upon her. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial for highway robbery. STEALING TEA,--Wall William Johnson, ship-keeper, and Martha, his wife, wore brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing 1 Ib. of tea from the ship Blencathra, in the West India Dock. The female prisoner was stopped by a dock constable, named Cremer, yesterday afternoon, and a bag containing 11b. of tea was found concealed under her clothes. She said her husband was the ship-keeper of the Bien cathra, a ship which was lately discharging a cargo of tea in the dock. He confirmed her statement, and now said that the tea was an overplus of some delivered to the officers and men on board for their use, and he was allowed to take it, Mr, Paget, baying some doubts on the case, would giro:, the prisoners the benefit of those doubts and discharge them. MARKETS-.-This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderate.

Mr. Alderman STONE observed that he was not for making any distinction in the treatment of the rich and poor pri soners. Mr. Alderman WILSON said the motion had evidently been placed upon the paper by reason of the detention of two highly respectable gentlemen in Newgate upon remand, and who, while imprisoned there, had to eat their meals without either knife or fork, and to clean their cells. Like men about to be hanged, the use of knives and forks was denied them, as if the authorities apprehended they would cut their throats. This was a great indignity if they were inno cent ; but, instead of inflicting upon them this indignity, the magistrate who remanded them might have admitted them to bail, particularly when bail was offered in their case to the extent of £50,000. Still, this was no reason why any alteration in the treatment of prisoners at Newgate should be made without first inquiring what were the regu lations at other gaols in similar cases. If Newgate was to be made a respectable asylum for all classes, then the punish ment for crimes committed would cease to have effect. As it was the gaol was much too comfortable. The prisoner had a good bed there, excellent provisions, a table and chair, washing utensils, and books to read. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS-Why should not an untried man have all that ? Mr. Alderman WiLsoN—l da not say he should not have it. I admit great hardship was done to the Messrs. Barry ; but then it was in the power of the magistrate to mitigate that by,liberating them on bail. Nevertheless, I say that there is better accommodation in Newgate than the prison ers could get in any workhouse. After a few words from Mr. Alderman STONE in reply, who said he advocated the propriety of a general treatment of the question, the motion was put and unanimously passed. The Court then adjourned. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. OMNIBUS ROBBERY.--,lane Clark, a respectably-dressed woman, in an advanced state of pregnancy, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with picking the pocket of Mrs. Amy Massy, residing at Great Titchfield-street, Mr, E. Lewis, of Great 3 larlborough-street, appeared for the defence. Mrs. Massy said that while in an omnibus in Oxford street she put her hand into her pocket to see if her purse was safe, when she found that the elastic band had been slipped off and two sovereigns had been taken from it. The Prisoner sat next to her in the omnibus. She got out and spoke to the conductor, and told him that she had seen the prisoner's hand in her pocket, and the prisoner was then taken into custody. The prisoner denied taking the money. The omnibus was searched, and the sovereigns were not found at the time, but were subsequently. Henry Taylor, a lad, proved that while in an Islington omnibus a lady called his attention to a sovereign lying at the bottom of the omnibus, and on stooping to pick it up ho found a second. He gave them to the conductor of the omnibus. Mr. Lewis asked the constable whether the prisoner had given the right name and address, and he said she had. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate at some length on prisoner's behalf, and said he was instructed that the pro secutrix in pulling out the pocket-handkerchief pulled out the two sovereigns, and a gentleman remarked to her that she had dropped something. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not see how he could withdraw the case from a jury, but he would take bail. Mr. Lewis appealed to the magistrate to deal with pri soner, stating that she would plead guilty Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for two months, with hard labour. The Inspection of Convents No nun or other inmate of the convent was ever impri soned or kept without food, or subjected to any ill-usage whatever. No death ever occurred which was not duly registered, and no one was ever buried except in a coffin of the ordinary shape. • As one result of this'correspondence, I trust, will be to show that Roman Catholic gentlemen are not so indifferent to the treatment of the inmates of convents in England as you seem to suppose, I shall take the liberty of publishing it. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, C. LANGDALE, Jun , C. N. Newdegate, Esq., M.P. 3, Arlington-street, Piccadilly, March 17. Sir,—l have referred to your letter of the 13th, and to • a copy of my reply, and I do not understand what you mean, as applied to myself, by the following paragraph in your letter of to-day : " You decline, sir, to meet my challenge to have your statement tested before a competent tribunal." The statement which I made in the House of Commons, and to which you refer, consisted in an avowed citation of sworn evidence in my possession. That evidence was col lected, after an inquiry of about five months, by competent persons for submission to the Court of Queen's Bench. The only reason that it was not brought into court and there tested by cross-examination was that it was found that the nun, for whose liberation this preparation had been made, had been removed from the convent to Staplehill, which at the time when she was seen by direction of Judge Wight man, she refused to leave. This evidence I proposed to submit to a committee of the House of Commons, which was refused at the instance of the Rorti;:n Catholic members of th e h ouse . Id o not, there fore, understandwhat you mean by the e x p ress i on I h ave quoted from your let t .: of to-day. I have no wish to dis pute the sincerity of your b.... - . lief that the evidence in my possession is untrue ; but you mad ;rest assured that I will not submit this evidence to any tribun'a; L. , ut such as I con sider competent—such as a committee of the 11,;: ise of Com mons—since this evidence relates to events which o,Zurred more than eight years ago. I felt bound to reply to the Rev. Dr. Ullathorne, because I named him in the House of Commons, and because ho claims to be the Superior governing the convent at Colwich, and was a party to the transaction to which the evidence relates. I have thus far replied to you because you stated that you have a relative in the convent at Colwich ; but I will no further waive the privilege which guards freedom of debate in the House of Commons, since I see plainly that those connected with persons in these convents might inflict a practical penalty upon all mention of convents by any wember of the house, if the member who alludes to them is to be held bound to appear before any tribunal which persons who may deem themselyes affected by his statement Might extemporise for his annoyance. I have no wish to prevent your publishing this corre spondence if you think fit to do so, reserving, of pourse, the same discretion to myself. I have the honour to remain, Sir Your obedient servant, C. N. NEWDEGATE. Tho Hon. C. Langdale, Jun., Stafford Club. N.B.—My letter of the 17th was delivered by my servant at the Stafford Club on the same day that Mr. C. Langdale's second letter was received by me—i.e., on the 17th, which date it bears. The following letter was received byme on the 19th of March, at Arbury, near Nuneaton. C. N.

GREAT FIRE AT STANGATE.—About half-past 11 o'clock last night a destructive fire broke out in the large engineering and patent iron revolving shutter works be longing to the Messrs. Jennings, situate in the Palace-road, Stangate, which burnt with such rapidity that in less than half an hour the whole factory with its valuable stock and The following correspondence appeared i Times .. 3, Arlington-street, Piccadilly, March 15. Sir,—l much regret to find that a mistake in the address of my reply to your letter of the day before yesterday has delayed your receipt of it. Tho report of the portion of my speech Whicityou quote from the Standard may not be exactly accurate ; but the general purport of the evidence from which I cited that passage is very much to the effect of that report. Had I not been in possession of the affidavits which con tain corroborate evidence to the effect, I should not have cited the portion of the evidence to which you especially refer. I was sincerely anxious that this portion, as well as other portions of the evidence, should be tested by the committee for which I moved ; but the members who are of your re ligion voted against the inquiry I proposed, and if you feel aggrieved that this evidence is not tested, you must blame those who opposed my motion, not myself. I must, how ever, decline your application, as I declined Dr. Ullathorne's invitation to visit the convent at Colwich. I was quite prepared to submit the evidence from which I spoke on the 3d, and to which you refer, as part of the matter which a Committee of the House of Commons should investigate, but not as the sole matter of investigation. I cannot consent to remove this matter from the House of Com mons for the purpose of having it investigated else where. Should you be in possession of evidence that will refute that which I cited, I have no doubt that there are members in the house who will undertake at your in stance to produce in the House of Commons that which you may consider a refutation. Except for the sake of that which I consider, and which was considered by at least 79 members who voted for my motion, an important public object, I should never have referred to a subject, which appears to have caused you and may have caused others some annoyance ; but if my motion has no other effecethan causing yourself and other gentlemen of the Roman Catholic religion to devote more attention to the convents in England, and to the treatment of their inmates, it will, in my opinion, have been productive of at least one bene ficial result.—l have the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient servant, C. N. NEWDEGATE. ] Stafford Club, March 17. Sir,—There has been some delay in your letter leaching me in consequence of your having addressed it to my father, who is unfortunately not equal to a prolonged correspon dence. This is the only reason for my undertaking what I assure you I feel to be a painful duty. You decline to meet my challenge to have your state ment tested by a competent tribunal. The case, therefore, between us stands thus. You, a gentleman and a magistrate for two counties, charge a community of ladies living in your own district with practices not merely wicked but felonious. You say you can support this charge by 27 witnesses. You are asked to come into court and have the case fully investi gated, and you decline to do so. You, a gentleman and a member of Parliament, make a statement in your place in the House of Commons, involv ing a grievous stain on the character of certain ladies, and then, under the shelter of your privilege, you deny them and their families the oppOrtunity of vindicating their honour by disproving your charges. After this, I am much mistaken if the public will deem it a fitting reply on your part to appeal again to a committee, which has already been refused by the House of Commons. In default of this, you tell me you have no doubt 1 can find some members who will undertake to produce " what I con sider a refutation." I incline to think that after the publi cation of this correspondence, no further refutation will be necessary. But for the satisfaction of others, I will state now on my honour what I would have proved, if you had given me the opportunity, in:a court of justice. That the statement of the girl named is a tissue of falsehoods. The girl referred to was a Protestant child, whom the nuns out of kindness allowed to attend their day-school. She never was inside the convent in her life further than the schoolroom, or perhaps the parlour. There neither are, nor ever were, any underground cells. The cellars which do exist are filled with wood, coals, coke, roots, and bottles The Stafford Club, Savile-row, March 13. Sir,—My excuse for calling your attention to a state ment respecting the convent at Colwich in your speech in the House of Commons on the 3d of March last, is that I have a sister in that convent, where she has been a nun for the last 20 years. She must, therefore, have been cogni zant of, or possibly a victim to, the atrocities you describe. I hardly know which alternative is the more painful. You must not imagine that the fact of her being a nun makes my sister less dear to me. Her honour and well being are matters that concern me as nearly as ever. Therefore, sir, I feel it a duty to call your attention to the following extract from your speech, taken from the Standard of March 4th. That statement (viz., "of a girl named —") was, " that she saw nuns imprisoned in that convent, that she knew them to be kept short of food, that she saw one nun forced down into this underground cell— that to the best of her belief she never came out alive. . . . Now this evidence is corroborated by 27 witnesses. . . . It was proved that there were more burials within this con vent than appeared on the register of deaths." Now, Sir, do I understand you rightly ? Do you mean to insinuate that, at any time during the last 20 years, any nun or inmate of the convent at Colwich has been subjected to the cruel treatment you describe, has been imprisoned in an underground cell, has been left there till death ? Do you mean to assert that during that period any nun or inmate of that convent has been clandestinely buried ?Am I to under stand that your 27 witnesses can prove all these charges or any of them ? If this is your meaning, I call on you to come out of your privileged position, and to make these charges in such a way as will enable those whom you accuse or their friends to test the truth of your statements. I am, sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES LANGDAT.R 7 Jun, To C. N. Newdegate, Esq., M.P. BOROUGH HOP.

NEW FRENCH GUN. —A cannon of extraor dinary size was cast a day or two ago at the imperial foundry at Douai. It is of steel and bronze, and weighs V 7000 kilo grammes. The operation, which took place in the pres ence of an aide-decamp of the Emperor and the greater part o f the offic-.re of the garrison, was perfectly SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. Buckfoot made play, having as his immediate followers Plaything and Stanton side by side, Manchester bringing up the rear. In these positions they came past the stand, but on rising the hill Stanton quitted his companion, and as they entered the meadows he joined his stable com panion. The pair soon after drew away, and raced for the lead, which Buckfoot obtained half way in the distance, and won a good raco by three parts of a length. Manchester finished a wretched third.

J. Tomlinson, of Fulwood-park, park, Aigburth, who died on Friday evening, at the village of Churton, near Chester, from severe internal injuries sus tained while hunting with Si Watkin Wynn's hounds. The meet was Aldersey ; the cover drawn, Royalty. The fox made towards Ohtuton ; and about a half a mile from there, in rounding the bend of a sown field —and with no apparent obstacle—his horse pitched on his head, and caused Mr. Tomlinson to be thrown with violence against the pummel of the saddle, and in falling over struck him across the back when on the ground. Dr. Manisty, of Gresford, who was out, instantly attended him, and although medical aid was at once rendered from Liverpool and Chester he gradually sank. The loss of this promising and worthy young man will be deeply felt by many friends. WARWICK SPRING MEETING —TUESDAY. Some doubts were felt this morning whether a postpone ment of this meeting would not be necessary. The severe frost of last night had made the ground like iron, but by the time the racing commenced, 2 o'clock, the sun's power had changed the aspect of affairs, and it was declared "good going." Mr. Merry's programmes look generally very well on paper, but there is sometimes a falling off in performance. Nine events on this day's card dwindled down to seven when the two matches were declared off, and for these the fields were neither large nor very brilliant. The best finish of the day was between East Lancashire and Catalogue for the Trial Stakes, when Lord Hastings' Speedy filly was collared by the former, and defeated on the post by a head. The handicap over the five furlong course looked a gift to Gownsman, who cut down his field with great ease. A warm favourite was defeated in Stanton for the Willoughby, his stable companion, Buckfoot, taking the lead all the way and winning cleverly. The Two-yr-Old Sweepstakes was reduced to a match between Qui Viva and Sweet Ann, in which the handsome son of Vedette scored his third win this season with extreme ease. The other events call for no particular notice. Match, 100, hft ; llst 71b each. Three quarters of a mile. Mr. F. Wombwell's Jumps, 4 yrs, agst Mr. F.

This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. CRIMINAL CASES (EVIDENCE) BILL. The second reading of this bill was postponed until Monday next. - MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY (IRELAND). Mr. LONGFIELD moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to protect the property of married women in Ireland, in cases of divorce and judicial separation, in like manner as under the Divorce Court in this country. The motion was agreed to. RAILWAY TRAVELLING (IRELAND) BILL. Sir C. O'LOUGHLIN moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to increase the facilities for travelling in Ireland on Sundays, and to run at least one train on that day. The bill also proposed to place third class passengers in that country on the same footing as those of a like class in England. There were various trains, it was true, run on some of the lines, but then they were despatched at such inconvenient hours as actually to amount to a disregard to the orders of the Board of Trade. The bill, it was true, was opposed by some gentlemen opposite, who contended that it was a great hardship to run trains on Sunday, because the Sunday traffic did not pay, but he contended the act of Parliament laid it down that trains should be run each day, and it was, he believed, for the Board of Trade to say whether the directors of railways were to cease to run trains whenever they felt disposed.
