Archbishop Manning's Pastoral. The following is a copy of the newly-consecrated Archbishop's Pastoral read at all the Catholic cha pels yesterday : Henry Edward, by the Grace of God and the favour of the Apostolic See, Archbishop Elect. of Westminster, to the Clergy, Secular and Regular, and the Faithful of the said Diocese, HEALTH AND BENEDICTION IN THE LORD. The Sovereign Will which, by the assistance of the Spirit of God, rules over the Church on earth, has seen fit, in spite of our manifold infirmities, to lay on us the burden of giving account, at the last day, of this great Flock. When first these tidings reached us, all other thoughts vanished before the consciousness of our great unworthi ness to be set as a Pastor over you. It is from you, and from your exampleS of . fidelity and zeal, of your fearless inflexibility and childlike docility in the faith, that we have been learning for these many years past. We have looked to you, reverend and beloved brethren in Jesus Christ, as Counsellors, Guides, and Fathers. And now, for our humiliation—we trust not for your confusion,—the Divine Will of Him who calls the " things that are not" as if they were, has placed us to be to you, so far as He helps us, that which you have so charitably been to us. Two things alone, under God, have given to usany adequate consolation in this time of anxiety and fear : the one, that what has fallen upon us comes from the hand of the Vicar of our Divine Master; the other, that in this manifestation of His will you have lost sight of our unworthiness, and have come around us with such an ex pression of your fraternal charity and filial acceptance of the choice of the Sovereign Pontiff, as to leave nothing we could desire. To our Venerable Chapter of the Metro politan Church of Westminster, to the Reverend the Secu lar Clergy of the Diocese, and to the Religious Orders, and we must not fail to add, to the faithful of every condition, from the highest to the poorest, who have been forward in their filial and loving sympathy, we desire now to offer our heartfelt thanks, and to implore for them the abundant graces of our. Heavenly Father. If anything were needed to demonstrate the unity of the true and living Church, and to dissipate in confusion the dreams—perhaps the wishes — of those who watch us, it would be the manly Christian Ca tholic loyalty, docility, and obedience as of soldiers to their Chief with which you all, Reverend and dear brethren, as one body, and you, dear children in the grace of Jesus Christ, whether born of our noble and invincible stock of Confessors and Martyrs, or called at tho eleventh hour by the loving kindness of our Redeemer, have all alike ranked yourselves in one array to support us, who before God can have no claim upon your love or your allegiance, save that the Vicar of Jesus Christ has invested us with the mission and office - of the Apostles. And here we would affection ately and gratefully ask you to bear with us, and not to harbour for a moment tho thought that we have been in sensible to the expressions of kindness and confidence which have reached us in these last days, by word and by letter. They have so far exceeded in number both our time and power to answer them in writing, that we can only ask you to wait until, either by letter or in person, we can hereafter express to your our gratitude. Thus much we have felt bound in conscience before God to say in rendering you our thanks. It would be a cheap and trivial thing to use professions of devotedness to you in return. We have no more ardent desire than to die in the midst of the flock, pastors, and sheep together, like the great Pastor and Father of this Diocese who now is resting in the midst of us. A few short years—and few they must be—spent like the many years of his great Pontificate, under the splendour of his memory, and in the path which he has traced for us,—this is the most fervent prayer we make to the tender love of oui• Divine Master. Having already had twice, in the most public manner, the happiness of expressing the love and veneration we bear to our late illustrious Pastor and Father, we have purposely refrained from doing so again at this time. Nevertheless, we cannot forbear in this place to say with what joy we made it our first public act to promote the building of the Cathedral which your gratitude and love has resolved to erect to his memory. All that we can do to forward this work of your filial piety shall be done with our whole heart. Bear with us for speaking thus far of ourselves. It has been forced upon us by our first entrance among you, and by your charity. I may say " Vos me coegistis." If fault there be, it is your kindness which has caused it. And as t is the first time, so we hope it may be the last. It would be a fault to say less, or more. We will now turn to other thoughts, which from henceforth will be our daily work. If the task before us is difficult by reason of personal infirmity, it is easy in itself. We have no new mission to commence, no theology to construct, no principles to find. The living Church of God moves on majestic and change less from age to age. A great pastor goes to his reward ; a lesser enters in his place ; but all personal inequalities are lost in the immutable and divine office of the Church. Tho same divine faith, the same mind, the same Catholic spirit, with all its delicacy of instinct, tact, and sensitive purity, guides and sustains the Church in England as in Rome, in the nineteenth century as in the first. We have nothing but what we have received. We have re ceived all that Jesus communicated to His Church, in which we lose ourselves to be reproduced by it again with a life and light derived from its own. In England this is emphatically true. Your ancestors of the last three hundred years have upon them the aureolas of martyrdom, exile, ignominy, and the cross. In no part of the Catholic Unity is there to be found a Church which is more ennobled by the recent victories and splendours of its children. Nothing could have survived the storm but "the Victory which overcometh the world, our Faith."' The " remnant saved according to the election of grace" yet lives on, transmitting with its life, its instincts, and spirit of fidelity to the truth and to the Apostolic See. And this remnant has received again its perfect organisa tion, and is expanding once more with an even and steady growth. With such a Divine power in our hands, what can be difficult ? There is nothing we may not hope for, nothing we may not ask of the Lord of the Harvest. And for this our late lamented Pastor, with the largeness and foresight which marked all his administration, has made an abundant provision by multiplying the centres of ecclesiastical and corporate agency. These permanent works are the strongholds of the truth, and the guarantees of a future which the world may deride, but every Catho lic heart can forecast. To these two grounds of confidence we must not forget to add a third, namely, the labour of a body of priests as simple, as exemplary, and as unworldly as any clergy in the world. Add to this once more, the fidelity, generosity, devotion, and piety of a laity, who boar worthily the names of their ancestors, and aro true witnesses of the inextinguishable faith of Ireland in all its sorrows, and of the constancy of England in all the humiliations of the Catholic name. We can boar testimony from personal knowledge in these last years to the deep and fervent piety which animates the Catholics of London in every condition of life, from the highest to the humblest. Thus far, indeed, the work is easy. Beyond this all is arduous. The mission of the Church to London and to the English people has nothing analogous since the mission of the Church to Rome and its imperial race. If S. Paul so loved his kinsmen according to the flesh that ho would willingly have been anathema from Christ for their sal vation, we need not be ashamed of the love we bear to our separated brethren. In the supernatural order the Church is our native land ; and in the natural, our mother country. We love both, but with a discriminatir g charity ; the higher and the lower with a due and proportionate subordination. There can be no collision between these two orders of duty, unless the one or the other deviate from the principles of its constitution. This the Church of God cannot do. This, alas, three hundred years ago, our rulers and country did. It is, unhappily, thereby at variance with the first principles of the unity, authority, and infalli bility of the Church of God, which are more precious than life itself. The Catholic Church in England would not be aggressive, if England were within the light and unity of the Catholic Church. We have no aggressive aims but those which inspired the Apostles when they went forth to convert the world, and to gather the nations into the bene dictions and peace of eternal life. Much less have we im placable hostilities except against sin and falsehood, and whatsoever dishonours God and destroys the soul of man. We are indeed always in con tro versy,but we are not controversi alists. Life is too short for polemical encounters to amuse the idle. It is one of the devices of the enemy of souls to di vert attention, and to waste time. When our divine Lord sent forth his disciples He said, "Salute no man by the way." And surely the inflexible and unrelaxing execution of our great errand forbids us to turn aside and to lose time and opportunity, if not souls, in battles of words. Our controversy is of another character, such as none can ven ture except they who speak under the guidance of a Divine Voice ; who can say, as the Prophets and Apostles said of old, without possibility of error, " Thus saith the Lord." The Church teaches with authority, calm, precise, and positive. And the conscience in men, and the Spirit of God in the conscience, respond to the Divine Voice. Let such be our promulgation of the Eternal Truths ; in sea son, and out of season, casting the seed by all waters, going onward, waiting the time of the harvest after mny days. None but the Church of God can so speak to , the nations of the world. Whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, they know that the Voice claims to be not of man, but of God. And every way God is glorified, even when we seem most to fail, when men reject our word, and cast out our names as evil, even then the witness of Jesus is accomplished ; and in our weakness and isolation, in the midst of a lordly world, we may say with calmness and holy fear the words of the Apostle—" Thanks be to God who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved and in them that perish. To the one, indeed, the odour of death unto death; but to the others, the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is suffi aient." But this divine mission, so severe in its separation for life or for death, has been committed to those who, need ing mercy, have learned to show mercy. The Good Shep herd, because he is compassed with our infirmities, knows how to have pity upon the weak and the tempted. He has, therefore, committed the care of the flock not to His angels, who excel in strength, but_ to us who must first be washed in His most precious Blood ; that so, we may have com passion upon those who sin and are out of the way. In such a land as this, reverend and dear brethren, we have especial need to bear in mind this provision of His mercy. It is not enough for us to wield in our hands the perfect truth; we must also bear in our hearts the more perfect charity. "-More truth, more charity,"_ is an axiom of the science of Jesus. Truth without charity wounds, inflames; and repels. Truth spoken in charity illuminates heals, and subdues. Truth is keen and severe in itself, and woe to us if wo poison its edge by human passion or controversial bitterness. In such a land as this, and in the midst of such spiritual confusions, the mere enun ciation of the one - holy Faith, out of which is no salvation, is sharp and wounding. to the susceptibilities and prejudices of men. But in this we have no choice. " A necessity lieth upon me, for woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel." They will impute to you the sharpness which belongs to your message. Speak as you will, with the gentleness of S. Francis of Sales, or the sweetness of S. Philip Neri, they will arraign you of bitterness. Only let us, then, give no occasion by personal heat, or biting words, or asperity of tone. Charity and patience, with an inflexible witness to the presence and voice of a Divine Teacher, Who calls on all men to submit as disciples to His guidance, will at last win souls on whom all the gifts and cultivation of the natural order fall powerless. We have this en couragement. The work of God in England can not be stayed. " Verbum Dei non est alliga turn." " The Word of God is not bound." No chains can bind it, no human arrest its expansion. The perfect revelation of the Day of Pentecost, with its proper motives of credibility, has once more fairly entered into the intelligence of the English people. It is possess ing itself gradually and irresistibly of a large sphere in pub lic.opinion. It manifests itself not only to those who, day by day, submit to it in faith, but even to those who hesi tate, gainsay, resist, and reject it. A generation ago, who ever heard of the Catholic doctrine but a few retired men among their books, or here and there some simple person converted as by a special providence of God ? Not so now. The work of the 'faith in England is not the work of individuals upon individuals; but of the Church upon the intelligence of English men. Multitudes who are separated from the Catholic Church, and actively opposed to it, are daily becoming con scious of its presence, of its voice calling them to faith, of its doctrines, above all of its unity in the midst of their di visions, and of its expansion in the Midst of the advancing dissolution of all other religious systenis. It is surely by a disposition of the Divine Head of the Church, that in the heart of the nineteenth century, when both the intellects and the wills of men have reached an excess of unbelief and of licence in matters of revelation, of morals, and of poli tics, that the Vicar of our Lord, the Teacher of all Chris tians,—as the Council of Florence entitles him—should twice in these last years, have spoken with the voice infallible Truth ; thereby testifying not only to the singular prerogative which, as the first fruits of grace was bestowed upon the Immaculate Mother of God, and to the great constructive principles of morality and jurispru deuce on which the Christian world is founded, but also to the perpetual assistance of the Spirit of God, by whose light the Church and its Pontiffs, in all ages, now as in the beginning, discern and declare the limits of falsehood and of truth. The Dogmatic Bull of the Immaculate Con ception, and the Encyclical of last year, will, we believe, mark an epoch in the reconstitution of the Christian order of the world. The wise and learned may deride us. We can well afford to wait till the derision of the nineteenth century is buried with the heresies of the last eighteen. Nor is it in the intellectual order that the Catholic Faith is invading the mind of our country. It is penetrating even more deeply into the spiri tual consciousness of the people. Let a handful of unreasonable pietists or of antiquated controversialists say what they will, the English people do not believe us to be idolators nor anti-Christs. Our Churches are open to them. They have seen the Divine Worship of the Holy Mass with their own oyes, and heard the words of our Pastors with their own ears. There is a widespread re action from the traditions which the blindness and deaf ness of religious prejudice has so long propagated. Since the end of the last century there has been a pro found reawakening of the minds of men. With some little extravagance, indeed, the religious sense of England has been stirred into an earnest belief of the eternal truths. Men are looking about for a Guide in the way of salvation ; for a Teacher to whom they may intrust their souls; for a Church which knows what it means, and means what it says ; for a hierarchy which is not divided ; for a keeper of holy writ who guards every jot and every tittle of the Sacred Books ; for an In terpreter who does not contradict himself; for Pastors who, day by day, in all the world, absolve sinners in the Con fessional, but require confession of sin by a divine and universal law as a condition of absolution ; for a deep in interior, evangelical life after the pattern of the Gospel, when men, taking Jesus at His word, sold all that they had and followed their Master ; for a Religion which is one and the same in every place and in every nation under heaven; in perfect harmony with itself, the only perfect interpreta tion of the Holy Scripturo, in all its commandments, pre cepts, and counsels, and therefore the only Scriptural religion. ft will not long be doubtful where these things are alone to be found. When another generation has effaced the scars of old prejudices, it is certain that the common sense, just judgment, and straightforward manliness, of English men will turn to tho only Voice in the midst of them which never falters, to the only system which is coheront and true to itself. But we must never forget that over all these intellectual and spiritual currefits of the natural order there is a super natural ministry of grace and power disposing all things for the sake of the Elect. Lights, inspirations, impul ses , penetrating fears Of th e D ivine Presence, drawings and benedictions of the Divine love, aro ever at work upon the intelligence, the heart, the conscience, and the will of this great people. Truth seems to hang in the air, and to descend by no discoverable law upon individuals and households, in seasons the least looked for, and in ways the least foreseen. What is all this reverend and dear brethren but the grace and visitation of Him who shed His most precious blood for the souls which crowd and die in this great city? w 0 aro workers together with Him : a mission arduous but blessed. To save one soul is reward enough for a life of toil ; to gather many into life eternal is beyond all we dare to ask. And yet it is promised to us : " They that are learned shall shine as the brightness of tho firmament, and they that instruct many to justice as the stars to all eter nity." Happy are they to whom this work of grace and peace has been committed as to you. And happy aro we in knowing that day by day, at all hours, we may say day and night, often without the rest necessary for health and life, you are labouring for the salvation of the flock for which we must give account. Though most unworthy to bo set over you, yet God is witness, we have no more heart felt and fervent desire than to live and labour to the end as we have in the years that are past, feebly indeed, but gladly " spending and being spent" with you for the Bettis for whom Christ died. And now, Dear Brethren and Children in Jesus Christ, tho laW of the Universal Church which binds its Pastors in the bonds of filial dependence to the Successor of S. Peter, the Fountain of all jurisdiction over souls, but for a special permission of the Holy Father would have obliged us to leave you for a season. Though we have received from the hands of our Brethren of the Proi:ince the Episco pal character, we cannot exercise the fulness of jurisdiction until we have received either in person or by proxy from the hands of the Vicar of our Lord the Pallium which both signifies and conveys our participation in the fulness of the Pastoral office. It will be our desire to ask hereafter in person this last grace of the Sovereign Pontiff, and to re turn as speedily as we may. Nor can we feel that by such an absence we shall be wanting in anythivs to you, be cause we are assured th a t i n no way, under God, can we bo rendered less unworthy to mini s t er to you than by first seek ing of Him, who represents on earth our Divine Master, the light and guidance which -flows from His Apostolical Benediction : and because we know that the unity and prosperity of the Church depend s upon the most inti mate union with its visible Head, and that not visibly alone, but inwardly by a conformity of both the intel lect and the will to his mind and spirit. The perfection of a Christian is docility to the Divine Voice, and the organ of that Divine Voice is the Church speaking by its Head. This the men of the world call feeble, unmanly, and slavish, an abnegation of personal conviction and personal independence. You have received another Gospel in which the most masculine intellect, and the most in flexible will learns to exercise its fullest powers in their amplest liberty with the mind of a little child, and the docility of a Disciple. Such is the spirit we have learned of you, and such is the filial dependence which unites us, both Pastor and Flock, to the Sacred Person of the Vicar of the Son of God. Finally, Dear Brethren and Children in Christ, we com mend ourselves to your charity and to your prayers, in full confidence that y 61.1 will obtain for us the graces we need to servo you in the truth and love of Jesus Christ : especially we would ask you to intercede for us in the Presence of our Divine Redeemer in the Holy Sacrifice, and to commend us to the prayerS of our Blessed and Immaculate Mother. We, on our p ar t, w ill bear you affectionately in mind wh en we as k for ourselves and for the Flock committ e d t o us th e HpeortlyuiF•b'latthioenr'sreigning happily in the midst glorious Pontificate. o b f less t i h n e g o l f on ou g r Meanwhile we commend you to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the love of the Father, and to the sanctification of the Holy Ghost, One God over all' for Blessed for ever. Amen. Given at Westminster this Bth day of June, in the year 1865, being Thursday within the Octave of Pentecost, and the day of our Consecration ; and ordered to b e retia in all Churches and Chapels of the Diocese on Trinity Sunday, when the Annual Collection will be made for the Church Building Fund. HENRY EDWARD, Archbishop Elect. JOHN CANON MORRIS, Secretary. Both lots of yearlings, too, were reported, and with some truth, to be above the average in quality, and these induce ments, coupled with the brilliant weather, tended to draw a more than usual select assemblage to the spot. It is not often now that Lord Derby is seen in haunts which for merly knew him so well, but to-clay the sale of his old friend's stud lured him to Hampton, and he leaned over the rails not the least interested spectator of the scene. Most of our leading, turfites were occupants of the various drags gathered round the inclosure, including the Duke of Newcastle and the Duke of St. Albans, the Marquises of Ailesbury and Hastings, the Earls of Chesterfield, Stam ford, Portsmouth, and Poulett, Lord Falmouth, Lord George Manners, Admiral Rous, Mr. G. Payne, Mr. C. Alexander, Mr. H. Chaplin, General Peel, Mr. Ten Broeck, We are so much accustomed to high prices now-a-days that we ought not to be astonished at an array of figures which would have caused the eyes of a past generation to stare. It is not too much to say that thousands are now given where out grandfathers bid hundreds, and the sum total in Messrs. Tattersall's book on Saturday afternoon might be pointed to, if money be the criterion, as an un questionable proof of the flourishing condition of the Turf There were 71 lots in all, and they realised 26,078 guineas, an average of upwards of 367 each. This must be considered very good. The sums one or two of the brood mares rea lised were almost unprecedented ; 1,500 guineas for Con tadina, the dam of King Hal, and for whose possession there was sharp fighting between the Marquis of Hastings and Mr. Jackson; 1,300 for Cantine; and 1,000 for Doralice have not often been surpassed. Some of the old mares were of course "given away," but most of those foaled within the last 10 years brought sums that fairly surprised many of the best judges, especially as their produce have in some instances done nothing. The royal yearlings were certainly, taken as a whole, very good-looking, the St. Albans small, but showing the Stockwell' mark in most of them. Tho Theodora colt was a great beauty, and caused some spirited competition before it was knocked down to Mr. Pardo for 800 guineas. The high-priced one of the lot—the colt by Newminster, Bracey—did not, as is often the case, bear away the palm in every one's estimation, but the sale commanded the interest of the afternoon from the keen contest for his possession between the Marquis of Hastings and Mr.H.Chaplin, the undoubted "stayers," who are not easily diverted from their purpose by such trifles as a hundred or two, more or less. Mr. Chaplin was the successful ono on this occasion, and secured the prize for 1,500 guineas. Lord Hastings bought a very promising-looking filly by St. Albans—Eulogy, a trifle light below the knee, but showing great quality, for 650 guineas, and the sister to Chattanooga, though somewhat short and slack in the loins, bids fair to turn out a racer. Mr. Padwick gave 600 guineas for her. The sum realised for the Queen's yearlings was 8,571 guineas, an average of about 343 each. Mr. Greville's Contadina colt, whose darn fetched the top price among the mares, was considered the pick of his lot, and was put in by Mr. Jackson at £3OO directly he ap peared. Of course Lord Hastings, who had bought the dam, and last year gave a high figure for her colt King Hal, must have the rest of the family, and after some sharp firing secured him for 1,500 guineas. His lordship also bought a remarkably fine filly, if not the finest yearling there, by Newminster—Barcelona, with grand quarters and loins, a magnificently-topped animal, for 950 guineas. Lord Stam ford showed his judgment in purchasing the colt by New minster—Muscovite's dam, a powerful-looking young one, with plenty of bone and substance. 6,266 guineas was the sum realised for the Yearlings, and upwards of 329 guineas the average—a great increase on former years. The business commenced early ; it was not over till late in the afternoon, an hour having been devoted to the loyal hospitality in the shape of an excellent luncheon, provided this year in a spacious marquee. A sale with such satisfac tory pecuniary results has not been held for some time in the pleasant paddocks of Hampton Court. THE WANDERING MINSTRELS. —These distin guished amateurs, who have so often efficiently em ployed their musical powers to advance the cause of charity, are again about to aid one of our useful institutions, by playing (under the able leadership of their president, the Hon. Seymour Egerton) at a concert which is to be given on Tuesday evening next, at the Hanover-square Booms, in aid of the funds of the Home for Gentlewomen, Queen square. On this occasion the minstrels will be reinforced by tho West London Madrigal Society, so that there will bo a strong muster of instrumentalists and vocalists. It ap pears from the published reports of the institution that i t was originated in 1849 and that it has been of great service to thn class for whose benefit it was designed. Of the ladies assisted during the last 16 years there have been of the widows and daughters of merchants, 33 per cent.; of land owners and private gentlemen, 21 per cent. ; of officers in the army and navy, 14 per cent.; and of clergymen, physi cians and surgeons, solicitors, artists, professors, Govern ment officers and surveyors, together, 32 per cent. It is to be ardently hoped that the efforts of these two musical societies will be largely productive of good to the benevo lent institution which it is desired to assist. THE SALE OF JULES GERARD'S GUNS, hunting knives, &c., at the Hotel Droubt, has been a serious disappointment to his aged mother. The firearms only fetched their value. The only article which was anxiously bid for was the skin of a lion, which he killed on the 30th January, 1850, in the Sequin country. The proprietor of an immense shop on the Boulevards, La R4genc, gave £24 for it, and also purchased Jules Gerard's letter describing the exciting struggle he had with the brute. THE MARBLE STATUE OF SIR CHARLES BARRY eft Mr. Foley's studio on Tuesday last for permanent erection in the New Palace at Westminster : a graceful tribute to the memory of its architect, SPORTING NOTES, --~ --- The Royal Meeting at Ascot, which commences to-mor row, bids fair to outrival any of its predecessors. The Prince of Wales, it is expected, will honour the meeting with his presence on Tuesday and Thursday. The Ascot Stakes has twenty-Six horses engaged, being nearly double the acceptances or last year. By a singular coincidence the turned-loose MOOSE has exactly the same weight to carry, —viz., 7st 11b—as Tom Parr's Mortimer, a hers° that was in the same stable as Moose now is (who ran Scythian to a head in the Chester Cup) and afterwards won this race in 1855, both being five-yr : olds. If in anything like the form he displayed last with Honest John at Edinburgh in the Queen's-Plate; I shall look no further for the winner. Nuneaton loOks like. being reserved for the Royal Hunt Cup, or he 'would be dangerous amongst the very - moderato lot of horses that will contest - the race. The same remark applies to Hullyfox, who is reserved for some large handi cap, but if supported for this race I would re commend the public to follow suit. Both Hippo lyta and Tomato.' are out of form. Cobweb, although she ran fourth for the Oaks, I have no fancy for. Alabama belongs to Mr. Ten Broeck, who is always to be feared when he backs his horses in earnest. But, as I have already stated, I shall entirely rely on MOOSE to fur nish the winner, only fearing HOLLYFOX to upset my calcula tions. The Prince of Wales Stakes should be won by BREAD ALBANE or ARCIUMEDES, as both of them have a 71b. allow= ance. If Baron Rothschild sends Janitor for the Eighth Ascot Biennial Stakes, he cannot fail to win, as he has escaped, a penalty. The Eleventh Ascot Biennial has both Ely and Baragah engaged, and one of them ought to fur nish the winner, most probably the latter, as Ely, it is stated, has thrown a curb. Blue Mantle, Saccharometer, and Queen of Trumps are the three most favourably weighted for the Queen's Stand Plate, as Gemma has in curred a penalty. The Royal Hunt Cup has an enormous entry. Gem of the Sea won it last year, and has now only 71b more to carry. Nuneaton, as I have said before, will be reserved for this race in preference to the Ascot Stakes, and if I couple Union Jack, Madcap, Finesse, and Windham with him; I think the winner will be found amongst them. King Charming ought to win the Ascot Derby. Thurs day's and Friday's races I shall refer to either to-morrow or on Wednesday. _ A 'FRESH MAN. CITY BETTING—Tins DAY.

In addition to her Majesty's yearlings and those of the late Mr. Groville, the brood mares of that gentleman were also brought to the hammer, and from the high estimation entertained of them by their owner their was a very keen competition for their possession. . . 41 7 1331 / 4 147/ IC.fl 122 I 90 1076 7 8 +2 1 1231 3 2.96 1 141 ; If 81 1351 1121 74 alilisi ITIES. 95 1 41- 93) THIRD EDMON.

Mr. GOSCHEN asked the hon. member for Oldham whether ho intended to proceed with his bill for legalising executions within the walls of the prisons. Mr. HIBBERT said it was not his intention to proceed with the bill at present. ROMAN cAtruoLic OATH BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 6 being propoSed, Sir H. CAIRNS moved the restoration, in the form of oath - contained in the bill, of the following words contained in the oath prescribed by Geo. 4, c, 7, s.2:—" I do swear that I will defend to the utmost of my power the settlement of • property within this realm, as established by the laws ; and I do hereby. - disclaim, disavow, and solemnly-abjure any intention to subvert the present Church establishment, as settled by law within this realm; and I do solemnly sweari . that 1 never will exercise _any privilege to which I am or may _ become entitled to disturb or weaken tho Protestant Religion or Protestant Coiermiient" in the - United Kingdom." . Mr. HUNT said he regretted to be-obliged to oppose the motion of his right hon. friend. He hoped the bill would become law, and that the .present expiring Parliament would distinguish itself by sweeping away that which had been a sources of annoyance to her M:ljesty's Roman Catholic subjects. He could not agree with those who looked upon this oath as one of the bulwarks of the Church - of England. On the contrary, he thought that such was net the case, and, that being so, he could not vote for the motion of his right hon. friend. - . • Mr. DISRAELI referred to the history of the oaths and the passing of the Emancipation Act, and touched upon the question of the Irish Church. He was sure his colleagues in that house would believe him when he said he had no desire or wish to insult their religion ; on the contrary, he honoured theirancient faith ; but he must ask them to re collect the compact entered into thirty years ago between Roman CatholiclsmandLiberalism, the-object of which was' the destruction of the Established Church in Ireland. With respect to the matterumier discussion, he asked the Roman - Catholics just to place themselves in the position of the 7 Protestant, and he thought, then, they would hesitate to agree to such an alteration as was now proposed. He - objected to the bill as it was originally brought forward by the honourable member for Limerick, because he felt that the Roman Catholic oath. as it at pre sent stood contained nothing which a gentleman of tto highest honour and nicest feeling could not have taken, and he could-not believe that any Roman Catholic gentle- Man would look upoit it as a barrier between him and a seat,in that house. He objectedalso to the measure because it had been brought forward by an individual member. [LEFT SITTING.] • RAILWAY IN TEL LIGENCE. HAMMERSMITH AND CITY.

Earl GRANVILLE presented petitions in favour of this bill from different parts of the country, including Hemel Hampstead, Bedford, Cambridge, Birmingham, City of London, Wallingford, Hereford, Croydon, Watlington, Great Shelford, Great Torrington, &e. THE UNITED STATES. The Earl of DERBY said that under the exist ing circumstances he felt bound to call the atten tion of their lordships to the critical state of affairs in America. The noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Earl Russell) had said that the ques tion as to when the belligerent nghts of the Confederate States should come to an end would depend upon the United States Government. A proclamation had since been issued by that Government, in which they declared that the blockade of most of the ports should be raised, but that some should bo kept closed, and that any merchants at tempting to enter them should be treated as pirates. He impressed upon the House the necessity of dealing with this question. which involved a subject intimately con nected with international law, the importance of which could not be overestimated. (Hear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL said that Kirby Smith had surrendered on the same terms as General Lee. There was no objec tion on the part of her Majesty's Government to lay that letter on the table. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Abergavenny and Monmouth Railway; Blackpool and Layton with Warbrick Improvement; Brean Down Har bour Railway ; Bute Docks, Cardiff (No. 2); Cale donian Railway (Additional Powers); Caledonian Railway (Bangholna Junction); Caledonian Railway (Cleland and Mid-Calder Railway and Branches) ; Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway (Branches) ; Edinburgh. and Glasgow Railway (No. 1); Glasgow and South- Western, Maybole and Girvan, &c., Railway Companies ; Greenock Police and Improvement; Leamington Gas; Liver pool Gunpowder Regulation ; Monkland Railways • Mon mouthshire Railway and Canal ; Moses G a t e and Riugley Branch Road; Nantlle Railway; North British and Edin burgh and Glasgow (Bridge of Forth) Railways ; Northern Assurance Company ; Ross and Monmouth Railway ; St. Stephen's Green (Dublin); Severn Junction Railway ; West Yorkshire Railway ; and Witham Drainage. WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENT BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. A. SMITH moved that the bill be referred to a committee for further consideration. He thought that there ought to be some arrangement made for building dwelling houses for tho poor. Mr. TITE opposed the motion. _ . _ Mr, W. PAT lEN thought the bill was entirely ono of a private nature, and for merely acquiring certain land, and therefore there was no need for adopting any different course to that usually pursued with respect to private bills. Mr. DODSON also was averse to the adoption of the course suggested by the hon. member (Mr. Smith). The motion was withdrawn, and the bill was read a second time. THE CASE OF MRS. GREY. Colonel SYKES gave notice that to-morrow he should ask a question of the Government as to whether steps had been taken to obtain compensation for Mrs. Grey, whose husband had been murdered near the Cape of Good Hope. The Fatal Accident on the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway. WEST FELTON, Saturday. This morning an inquest was resumed on the bodies of the nine persons who had lain dead at the Rodnal Station, all of whom aro now identified. Tho company were again represented by most of the leading officials of the line, with Mr. Gricrson, the general manager, at their head. Mr. Tyrrill alone was absent. Mr. Chandler, solicitor, of Shrewsbury, was again present, re presenting the relatives of Miss Jones, deceased, and cer tain of the injured persons. After some further evidence had been given, the room was then cleared, and in somewhat over an hour and a quarter afterwards the jury were prepared with their ver dict, which the foreman read as follows : "We bring in a verdict of accidental death. Wo find that there is great blame attached to the officials of the Great Western Railway Company in not providing suffi cient brake power before leaving Chester, and in not pro viding better carriages and engines in this excursion train. We consider that the enginemen were guilty of gross and culpable negligence in not attending to the signal put up by the platelayers ; and wo believe that the enginemen were going at too great a speed over a defective portion of the line between Babbin's Wood-bridge and the scene of the accident. We think the platelayers wore also guilty of gross and culpable negligence in not properly and suffi ciently packing the sleepers so as to make them secure enough to bear so heavy a train as the excursion train at the pace the train was then going." Tho Coroner—By the word "culpable," you do not mean wilful ? The Foreman—We exclude the word " wilful." W have studiously avoided using the word wilful, because we did not intend to return a verdict of manslaughter. The Coroner—lt is not, in my opinion, a verdict of manslaughter at all. The Foreman—" Gross" is not wilful, in proof whereof we have had the dictionary, and hero it is in the room ; and if the lawyers can make anything'elso of it they may. We hope the verdict will give as much satisfaction to the public as it does to ourselves. We have very carefully considered all the circumstances. Mr. Jones, on behalf of the company, desired that the coroner should place upon the record the specific statement of the jury that they studiously avoided returning a ver dict of manslaughter. Mr. Grierson then addressed the Court. He said—l need scarcely say, on behalf of the directors, that this very un fortunate accident will be a source of the deepest regret to them ; and with regard to the verdict, which will of course be laid before them, I may state—particularly with regard to the first portion of it—that the directors are, if possible, more anxious than the public can be to provide for the safe and efficient working of the line, and that ever since the present board has been in office, which has not been long, they have devoted the greatest amount of attention and anxiety to the subject, with the view of preventing such unfortunate occurrences as these ; and they have autho rised the construction of continuous brakes to the trains, which are thought the most efficient for the purpose of stop ping them under ordinary circumstances, particularly, in special cases, such as the present. Some of them are already attached to the trains, and others are being constructed as rapictly as possibly. They have also authorised the exten sion of the telegraph arrangements over the line, the appli cation of the improved locking apparatus to the signals and pciints, and generally to the most improved means calulated to insure the safe and efficient wo7king of the line, as shown to be desirable and necessary by experience, and as recommended by Captain Tyler and the other Government nspectors ; but, of course, in a large system. like the Great Western, it required time to carry these improvements out ; buteverything I can assure l t b h jury, ee done b n t y t h h r e oug h he directors t m' t e t he ine public,ure s that afty and comfort on their lines. It was now past nine o'clock, and it wds'arranged that rather than detain the jury longer, they should assemble again on Monday at the Rednal station to complete the in quiry in the terms that the law required. THE CHARITY COMMISSION. Mr. FERRAND gave notice that to-morrow he should ask her Majesty's Government whether it was intended to fill up the vacancy of one of the charity inspectors, caused by the death of Mr. J. Symonds, jun. SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY. Mr. AYRTON asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether her Majesty's Government would be pleased to extend to the officers and clerks of the Civil Service, who had presented a memorial, the Saturday half-holiday allowed in other establishments. Lord PALMERSTON said, as the Government were about to appoint a commission to ascertain how far the prayer of the memorial could be granted without interfer-. ing with the public service ; he thought it desirable to grant what was asked, but until the inquiry had taken place to which he had alluded, he could not say what cculd be done in the matter. THE CUSTOMS. Mr. LYALL asked the Secretary to the Trea.sury why the Custom House authorities charge the merchants for the attendance of their officers on goods in transit after their arrival within the docks, as, in that case, the officer was immediately removed from the ship or lighter, but this charge continues 'to be made though no officer was em ployed. Mr. F. PEEL said the privilege which merchants enjoyed of removing goods without examination was granted, on the understanding that they should pay all the expenses. When goods were removed from ships an officer was re quired to watch, and it was for that the parties had to pay. Mr. LYALL remarked that it only took one officer to watch the property taken from a great many ships. Mr. F. PEEL replied that the owners of those ships were the only parties charged. FOREIGN POSTAGE. Mr. CAVE asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the postage of letters from Franco to the West Indies via Southampton by the Royal Mail steamers amounted to eightpence, while that from England amounted to one shilling, and on what principle that charge was made. Mr. F. PEEL said the charge of is. the half oz. for letters to the West Indies was made in order to make postage self-supporting. The French Government charge lid for the quarter oz., and is. 4d. for the half oz., but he did not know upon what principle that rate was levied. The charge of is. was made for all letters from France going by our packets. It would be desirable if some uni form rate was adopted. LAW OF EVIDENCE BILL. Mr. SCULLY asked the hon. member for East Suffolk whether he intended to proceed with the Law of Evidence I3ill this session ? Sir F. KELLY said he intended to proceed with the bill immediately the Government fulfilled the promise they had given to fix a day for the purpose. Sir G. GREY said he thought the hon. gentleman could proceed with the bill immediately after the motion of the chancellor of the Exchequer on Thursday next. BRECON AND MERTHYR. A special meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the office, Bank-buildings, Lothbury, Mr. Banks in the chair ; for the consideration of certain bills now before Parliament. The CHAIRMAN said he regretted that the bill for authorising the company to make an extension of the Crickhowell Railway had been thrown out by the committee, and that the remaining bills were not sufficiently advanced to be submitted to the meeting., He complained of the great delay which had taken place this session in dealing with railway bills, and said the consequence would be that a large number of the bills in the present session would be driven over to the next Parliament, to tie great loss and inconvenience of the promoters and shareholders. The meeting then adjourned. SOUTH-EASTERN. The gross traffic receipts on this company's lines for the four weeks ending the 20th of May amounted to £89,065, from which was deducted £2,523 for collecting and delivering goods, leaving £86,542. To this was added £2,479 for rents and sundries, and £4,504 for steam packet service, making the total receipts £93,525. The expendi ture, including rates, taxes, tolls, Government duty, and expenses of steam packet service, amounted to £51,899, which being deducted left a net balance of £41,626. The total receipts for the 15 weeks and four days ending as above amounted to £328,919, and the expenditure to £190,167, leaving a net balance of £138,752. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE Thi3 day.
