Price, as Sir Gerald Hope, acted with great discri mination and judgment. The scenery and mounting of the play were Superb, but the panic was absolutely bad and out of place. Instead of the leader of the band selecting appropriate Scottish music, which never fails to delight the English ear, he entertained the audience during the evening wi. h a variety of trashy polkas and waltzes, performed in the most careless manner. llr. Vezin must see to this, and in place of the ridiculous rubbush we had on Saturday let him give directions for the performance of an overture such as we invariably have when either " Guy Manner log,, o r "Rob Roy" is performed. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Vezin received a rapturous recall, although he had experienced a similar compliment at the end of each of the three preceding acts. The house was crowded in every part. IfIONEY .31AB,KET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no apparent incre.tse in the supplies of bills in the diseount market, and the quotations remain as easy as ever. Merchants and others not anticipating any change are merely providing for their daily requirements. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England on Saturday. _ _ . The directors of the St. John d'El Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received the following re- Port, dated Morro Velho, June 17, 1867:--" Pro duce for May, 47,708 oitavas ; from 6,528 tons ore, yield 6.950 oitavas per ton. Cost for May, £11,456 profit for May, £7,029. Produce 11 days of June, 16,406 oitavas ; yield 7.157 oitavas per ton.. The Bahu slope next Sump in Tongue of Killas." The report of the directors of the Bank of Egypt has declared the usual dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum for the half year. At the meeting held to-day of the United Dis count Corporation the Directors proposed to Pay a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share, being at the rate of rather more than 5i per cent per annum. The report of the Consolidated Bank, to be held in Manchester on the 24th inst., proposes to pay the shareholders interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. The accounts from the manufacturing districts state that during the past week there has been little improvement in the general state of trade. At Manchester lower rates were current for yarns and cloths, particularly for those suitable for India and China. In the .woollen districts of Leeds, Brad ford, and Huddersfield there has not been much activity, the chief dealings having been on heavy goods suitable to the winter trade. At Leicester and Nottingham there has been very little alteration in the hosiery and lace trades ; while at Birming ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton dulness has been the chief feature experienced in almost all branches of trade. Clarkson N. Potter, Esq., of New York, the solicitor of the Consolidated Bank in the case of the Atlantic and Pacific Railway, arrived in Eng land on Saturday. Two O'CLOCK.

This morning our Belgian visitors who, during the last ten days have been, to quote their own words, so " enthusiastically and hospitably" en tertained amongst us, started on their homeward journey from Westminster-bridge in the steamers destined to convey them to the Serapis at Gravesend. The arrangements which had been made in order to facilitate their departure were, that the whole of the Belgians should assemble in the quadrangle of Somerset House, and march thenco at half-past 10 o'clock, to Palace-yard, Westminster, where they were expected to arrive at 11 o'clock, and allowing half-an-hour for stragglers begin the embarcation at half-past 11 o'clock. This programme was punc tually carried out ; and shortly after 11 the Chas seurs marched, with colours flying, into the yard, their band playing " God save the Queen," and were received by a guard of honour, selected from the Queen's Westminster; under the command of Lord Grosvenor in person. The other detachments of Belgians —the Garde Civique and the Volunteers rapidly followed, and took up the po3itions allotted to them in the yard. The weather which, during the earlier portion of the morning, had been very fitful, now broke out into a bright sunshine, which illuminated all around, and rendered the scene in the palace a truly pic turesque one. The splendour of the Belgian uni form, the various attractive colours it presents, the gold and silver epaulettes and lace, the gleaming of the side arms and the swords, were exhibited in all their attractiveness, and shone forth in double lustre by the side of the sober grey of the Queen's West minsters. In fact the groups might have been, at a distance, taken for brilliant parterres of flowers, had it not been foi the protrusion of the long, ungainly rifles. During the interval of waiting for the stragglers the band of the Queen's We.struinsters played a long selection of dance, music, which appeared to delight our foreign visitors amazingly, as some of them ex temporised dances in the midst of them, and formed a remarkable contrast to the sober rigidity which characterised the guard of honour. The band of the Guard Civique responded by again playing very beautifully the National Anthem. At its conclu sion an immense cheer was given from every part of the yard. The " Brabangonne" of course, followed, and as it was now half -past eleven o'clock the work of embarcation commenced, and was conducted with such order and regularity that by a little past twelve all were on board. The scene of enthusiasm amongst our own countrymen and countrywomen is almost indescrib able. Countless crowds lined the bridges ar.cl every approach near them, rendering the roadways quite impassable. Thousands found standing-room on the embankment, and as it was low water the south side of the river swarmed with eager and enthusi astic multitudes. As the boats passed along the cheers were perfectly deafening, and when the Bel gians sung " God Save the Queen" countless thou sands from both sides of the river joined in the chorus. The same enthusiasm prevailed the whole of the way down the river until the confines of London were long since past, the bands on board alternately playing " God Save the Queen" and "The Brahan gonne," which was responded to from either shore. On their arrival at Gravesend they were received on board the Scrapis, where a banquet was prepared for them, and their reception by the inhabitants of that town fully equalled in enthusiasm and cordiality that of their brethren in the metropolis. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. ~~-_ MARLBOROITGII-STREE P. THE SUNDAY GAMBLING NUISANCE. —John Lee, William Eastland, and Roger Eastland, were charged with gambling in Iteands-street, Soho, near a chapel, and while Divine service was going on. The constable who took the prisoners into custody said there was a largo collection of lads every Sunday at the same place, much to the annoyance of the inhabitants. Mr. Tyr whit fined the prisoners 20s or 14 da;:s. Richard Novilo and Frederick Isaacs worn charged with gambling in Loundes-court, Carnaby-street, and fined lOs or seven days each. WESTMINSTER. SUDDEN DEATH IN THE HOUSE OF DETE!CTION. — Geo r g o Robinson, a butcher, was charged on Saturday afternoon with assaulting his wife. Tho wife said that her husband took up a knife and threatened to stab her with it. She went in fear of him. The husband, in a Tory pouitential tone, entreated his wife to forgive him. Tho complainant positively refused to do so. This morning, on Mr. Selfe taking his seat on the bench, it was reported to him that the poor man had dropped down dead yesterday at the House of Detention. THAMES. ASSAULTS UPON WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC STREETS.-- Thomas Fitzgerald, aged 23, a labouring man, of No. 7 London-street, Rateliff, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Mary Ann Pitman, a young woman of good education of address, who has lost her right eye, over which she worn a shade. Mr. Gomm, clerk to Mr. Hodgson, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The complainant said sho hal been abused and threat ened by some of the prisoner's friends since the first examination, and was in fear of her life. Mr. Paget deprecated in strong terms the practice of threatening and intimidating witnesses, and said if the offenders could be pointed out he would punish them severely. The case made out by the complainant was that, on Thursday night last, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, she was followed out of a beer-house, where she had been with some friends, by tho pzisoner, who made overtures to her, which she rejected. lie continued fol lowing her for some time. She repeatedly bogged of him to leave her, which he refused to do, and ultimately he struck her violently about the head and face, and made her nose and mouth bleed. William Freeston, a police-sergeant, No. 58, K, stated that at a few minutes before two on Friday morning he heard the screams of a woman, and saw tho complainant bleeding profu.:ely from her nose and mouth, and crying; sho said the prisoner had beaten her. He saw the prisoner with other men at the corner of Hams'-court, and took him into custody. A journeyman baker was at his work on Friday morning at two o'clock, and heard the screams of a woman. Ho looked through the grating over-hanging the bakehouse, and saw the complainant running and the prisoners running after. She made her way down Stepney-cause way, across Brook-street, into Collingwood-street. Mr. Gomm cross-examined the complainant, who said she had been married four years to a commercial traveller' and was separated from him. Mr. Gomm elicited from her that she was a person of light character, and belonged to the class called " unfortunate." She had private lodgings in George-street, Ratcliff, and it was Weans° she refused to alloiv the prisoner to outer the house with her that be struck her. Mr. Gomm called several Irish wincsses, who swore that the complainant was iu the White Swan Public houso, Commercial-ioad, two hours before the prisoner was taken into custody, and that she wis larking with two men named Arthur and Richard Calunby, and that one of them struck her and made her nose and mouth bleed. She abused him, and he struck her again. The complainant admitted that she was in the White Swan talking to the Culauby's, but denied that either of them struck her. Mr. Paget said there were many glaring inconsistencies and contradictions in the defendant's witnesses, and he did not believe them. The young woman, Pittman had given her evidence with remarkable clearness and accu racy, and she was confirmed by the police sergeant and baker. The case was consideraby aggravated by the defence set up. The woman was undoubtedly a person of light character, but she was entitled to the protection of the law. The prisoner made advances to her which she rejected, and ho thought when his advances were re pulsed that ho had a right to beat her. It was a great mistake. The assault was a brutaland cowardly one, and ho sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. rttEFERENCE at Great Northern, 41 per cent— rd. at Great Western, 4 per cent irred OS AIMS. 10 per cent. pm., 01 LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

An unusually small supply of English wheat was on sale here to-day, coastwise and by land carriage; but its quality was tolerably good. The business doing was. of necessity trifling, yet prices may be considered b. to 2s. per quarter higher than on this day se'nnight. Malt was in fair averagn) supply, and moderate request, at full quotations. Good sound oats supported former terms ; but inforior Russian gave way 6d per quarter. No Folglish barley was ou offer, and the show of foreign was very moderate. The trade was firm, and grinding parcels were ad per quarter dearer. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, for which there was a fair demand, at ls. to 2s. per quarter over the rates current on Monday last.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock, both as to number and quality. The demand for it was very inactive, and, in some instances, prices had a droop- :ug tendency. Prom our own grazing districts tho arrivals of beasts were rather on the increas 3, but the quality of most broods was by no means first-rate. The supply from Scotland was again limited. Prime Scots, crosses, Davons, Here fords and shorthorns were in moderate request at full currencies. Inferior breeds were dull, and 2d per Blbs lower tkau on Monday last. The top quotation WAS 534 per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 1,600 shorthorns, crosses, etc. ; from other parts of England 620 various breeds, and from Scotland 34 Scots and crosses. Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was rather limited for the time of year, the mutton trade was inactive. The best Downs and half-breds changed bands at last week's prices. Infer:or sheep, however, wore 2d per 81bs lower. The top figure was 5s 2d per 8 lbs. The sale for lambs was heavy, and the quotations had a downward tendency. The highest figure was 6s 81 per Blbs. The supply of lambs was moderately good. Calves were in full average supply and sluggish request on former terms, viz., from 4s to 5s 6d per 81bs. Pigs were very dull, and rather cheaper.

The business transacted to-day was principally confined to the Goodwood Stakes, in connection with which event the movements were in many respects very significant. All sort of prices wore laid against Blinkhoolie, eventually as much as 200 to 2 being in one instance laid. Subse quently 50 to 1 was, however, only obtainable. Varying prices were laid against Aggravator, who was announced to have been struck out this morn ing. Guy of Warwick was perhaps in most demand though both Jezabel and Dulcimer would have met with extensive support at a point over 8 to 1, which, however, was the highest offer.

'Hayling Island, situate some six or seven miles from Havant, may bo destined to become some day, what it cer tainly is not now, a fashionable watering place, and cele- brated for its race meetings. The inaugural one, held on Tuesday and Wednesday last, was a lamentable failure, but the weather on the first day was wretched to a degree; and to those persons who were on the outside of the different vehicles, whieh9owing to the railway from Ha vant not being open, took them to and from The Island, a gale of wind, combined with drenching rain, which were both in full force each way, must have made the journey confoundedly disagreeable. There does not appear at present to be anything particularly attrac tive about the spot, but Rome was not built in a day, and at least it can boast of a well-built sub stantial hotel; besides, I hear that two or three enterpris ing speculators, who take an interest in the place, aro likely by next season to ornament it with villas and marine residences, where all before was barren waste. As regards tho sport it was of a second rate character, but Mr. Vorrall will perhaps see the policy of making an addition to the value of the prin cipal stakes, if he wishes to attract a better lot of horses than the leather-flappers which usually figure at these places. Tho course, too, owing to the excessive rain, was in a miserable condition, being in some parts up to the horses' knees in a sea of mud; but the clerk of the course has too much enterprise to allow these drawbacks to in terfere with the prospects of the meeting on another occa sion, With more favourable weather, as well as railway and other accommodation, which will doubtless bo provided by next season, Hayling Island is short of none of the ele ments of sucoess to make it ono of the most pleasant ga therings throughout the yeas. Nottingham, like many other old-established meetings, is gradually falling off, and whether it is that now blood is required, or that owners of raco-horses absent them selves and their cattle from a dispositio n to g o in search of "fresh fields and pastures now," I am at a losstono w. Stamford, which wound up the we ek ' s racing on Thurs dayak‘ groat and Friday with two capital d a y s ' s p ort, meeting for the gentlemen, who must have vwonacisooadvhoaotdfur of money ; indeed, such an other reverse a the week after next would mako a seri present o ad in the exchequer balance of the bookmakers up lost his spring period.

His owner, the Duko of Newcas tle, won a good s ta ke , a nd of course all the "swe lls" followed suit. Lecturer did the Marquis of Hastings another g ood turn for the Stamford Cup. Radeliffe takes place on Monday and Tuesday. Huntingdon and Winchester on Tuesday and Wednes day, and Southampton on Thursday and Friday. I have very little to say about the first-named meeting 3las. ALLAN or THE SQUIRE aro my fancy for the Wilton Cup, the mare for choice. UNCAS will win the Two- Year- Old Stakes, and the filly by VOLTIGELTR—MoREscA, the Heaton Park Stakes. On Tuesday MASTER BUTTERFLY or BEGUNI ought to win the Grey do Wilton Onp, and UscAs the Craven Two- Year-Old Handicap if he starts. The programme for Huntingdon is a most attra:tive one, and will unquestionably be the meeting of the week. For the Huntingdonshire Stakes 29 owners have said con tent, but one-half of them, according to public running,. ,ian have no earthly chance. Pintail, should sine run, is by :10 means out of the race. Jezabol is remarkably well iu, Arta doubtful starter. The fourteen three year olds engaged for this stake also look especially dangerous, amongst s hich the Amanda colt and Challenge read most so, and Minster, late Marco Spade, four year old, with a three year old weight, should not be overlooked if his - number goes up, hut I would rather stand upon CHALLENGE, who Li' now in his best form, and likely to rug through his present engagements. Of the M subscribers for the Hinchingbroek Makes, the owner of LA BELLE JEANNE (presuming Lady Elizabeth does not gait, otherwise, as Griinston evidently wants rest, it would be any odds on her) has nothing to fear, and will win. The Cromwell Handicap Plato will just suit PARIS, whose favourite dis tance appears to be half a mile. I sea nothing so well in the Cambridgeshire Two Year Old Handicap as GLENARM. Whichever Mr. Elsworth runs of his pair—Cons. or Tort- TUGA—should haven° difficulty in winning the Members' Plate of 100 sous. The Huntingdon Cup is run for. on Wednesday, and LECTURER will win if ho starts, but should ho be an ab sentee, the COLT BY RATAPLAN out of Amanda, wko claims allowances amounting to 121b5., holds all the re mainder safe. The Peel Handicap has GRETNA and AM MUNITION engaged, and as both aro " turned loose," one of them will most likely furnish the winner. In the Ramsey Abbey Nursery Handicap DEMONSTRATION or SISTER TO MAID MARIAN appear to me to be most trust worthy. I should think the Apelthorpe Scurry Handicap would be won by INDIAN STAR or GOOIERAT. Lord Co ventry's horse looks, from his light weight and previous performances, quite good enough to back against the field if he goes to the post. In the absence of Lady Elizabeth and Grimston, BOVQUETIERE, who is entitled to 31b allow ance, is my selection, and if defeated, it will be by Pyrenees. At Winchester the Hampshire Stakes will go to H. Goatees representative, but which of the eight nomina tions, all in his stable, will be selected I am unable to say. Limon is remarkably well in in The Nursery Plate. There is nothing to beat EUROPA in The Third Biennial Stakes, and The Second Biennial will probably be a walk over for Concerning Wednesday's events SEE SAW will win The Foal Stakes; TINA, The Crawley Stakes; Jumus or SPECULUM, The Uxbridge Cup; and EUROPA, The Grange Park Stakes. The Southampton Meeting will occupy Thursday and Friday. The South Hampshire Stakes should go to Mr. Parr by the assistance of MOOSE, and whichever race on Friday LADY GRACE runs for, The Cranbury Park or the Stone ham Park Stakes, she will win. The other events during the meeting will be so dependent upon previous perform ances earlier in the week, as many of the horses are en gaged over and over again, that your readers will be far bettor able to judge for themselves. A FR,ESII MAN: IMPERIAL P.ARLIATIENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins EVENING. - - The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The attendance in the House of Peers this evening was more than ordinarily numerous. The gallerios were filled with elegant-dressed ladies, and the space before the Throne and the bar was crowded. On both the Government and opposition benches there was a large attendance. - - REPRESENTTAION OF THE PEOPLE BI L L. The Earl of DERI4Y rose to move the second reading of this bill, which, he said, had passed the House of Commons after the most anxious discussion. Ile said he felt the difficulty of the task, but having taken part in the vote which had brought about so great a change many years ago, he felt some confidence in submitting the motion to their lordships. The bill of 1832 effected the most extensive alterations, and was followed by changes that might almost be called a social revolu tion. He was then a young man, and ho remembered the fact in order to show the difference of the state of public opinion at that stormy period with that of the pre sent time. Then every popular demand had been restricted until it rose with tremendous power, and broke down all the barriers that opposed it, and enabled the Government to carry it into irresistible demand. At that time the cry of "the bill, the whole bill, and nothin g c , but the bill," and such was the power of the movement that the bill was carried amidst the utmost excitement such as had never been known before. Fortunately, how ever, at that time they had a man at the head of affairs capable of directing the storm and ultimately of passing a measure which put all parties on a better footing and added largely to the prosperity of the country. He took an humble part in that great measure, and fortunately they also had still another one amongst them who stood prominently forward in the great struggle, and who had rendered himself more to be remembered than the rest by his opinions with respect to finality. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The bill he had now the honour to submit to their lordships was one, he felt, that would be productive of the most important results to the country, and he hoped it would be a cceptable to the country. The question of reform ha d for years boon the great effort of statesmen, for so long ago as 1818 the tocasin of reform had sounded. It was again and again brought forward, and successive Administrations had tried to arrive at a settlement of the question. It was brought forward in the years 1852, 1854, 1858, and in 1860, but it was not until the present Parliament had taken up the matter that the subject was brought to a successful issue. When it was first introduced to the House of Commons last session, it was done so in such a dictatorial sense that the house re fused to give its consent to the proposal. Had the right hon. gentleman who then filled the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer dealt with the matter with a little more discretion, it was possible that a more favour able issue might have been the result; but it was left for others to work out a solution of the problem that was fatal to the Government of that period During the whole of the discussions that had then taken place the question of the borough franchise had never been alluded to. Her Majesty's Government had taken the =a -1 ter in hand, and the result had been a success, and although they were threatened with an amendment, which if car ried, must be fatal to the measure passing during the pre sent session, yet he felt that the attempt to defeat a mea sure which had cost so much thought and anxiety would bo defeated. (Hear, hear.) The noble earl then alluded to the circumstances under which he was called upon to form a Government, and said that twice he had been called upon to direct public affairs with a minority in the House of Commons and failed. On a third occasion of the s ame kind arising, he determined that he would not again be mad e a stop-gag until his opponents had matured their plans of reform, and therefore he accepted the task with a deter mination to change an existing minority into a prac ti c al majority—(hear, hear)—and to devote the closing days of a public career to the passing of a measure that would be satisfactory to tho country at large. 'they had been charged with change of political opinions on taking the reins of Government, but wha t u nder the circumstances, were they to do ? Were thef o ignore the consideration of Reform altogether ? They de cided that they would net, and a measure was brought forward, and in doing so the Government felt that the only way of arriving at a successful issue was to take Parlia ment into their council, and by such moans pass a measure that had been brought forward with the . most honest and sincere motives. ( Hear, hear.) They in the first instance attempte d to proceeed by resolut!on, with but ill success, and when at last it was d ! termined to proceed by bill, the great purport of which woull in effect be household rating ancl personal payment iots taxes, such a proposition resulted in the loss of thro.%ost most distinguished colleagues.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. _ _ _ The CIIANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER said there were 51 Government bills standing on the paper, and such a circumstance at the present advanced period of tho ses sion must necessarily lead to the postponement of some of them until a future session. The Government, therefore, proposed to give up for the present session the Murder Law Amendment Bill, Writs Registration (Scot land) Bill, Tenants Improvement (Ireland) Bill, Land Improvement and Leasing (Ireland) Bill, Sea Fisheries Bill, Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill, Intestate Widows and Children Bill, Office of Judge of the Admi ralty Court, and Patent Juries (Ireland) Bill. There would thus remain 41 bills, of which 11 had come down from the Lords. Those he did not intend proceeding with until some of the other bills bad been considered. To night the second reading of the Scotch Reform Bill and the Meetings in the Royal Parks Bill would be taken. To-morrow the house would meet at 12 to consider the Tornado case and the Citizens D wellings Bill. On Thursday the remaining military and naval estimates would be con sidered, and on the following M onda y the vote for the Bri tish Museum would be brought forward. Ou Friday the vote for the packet service would bo taken. REPRESENTATION OF BTLLE PEOPLE(SCOTLAND) The order of the day for the second reading of this bill was put from the chair, and agreed to without , discussion, Mr. Reardon, who had a motion ou the paper for its postponement until next session, not being in his place to bring forward his proposition. Just as the Speaker declared the second reading of the bill carried, the hon. member hurried into the house and took his seat, but too late to do as he intended. MEETINGS IN THE ROYAL PAR ! - S BILL. Mr. lIAIIDY moved the second reading of this bill. Ile did not wish'to make the question a religions or sectarian one, but that the parks might b 3 put to their proper use, that of being a place of recreutioa tor the working clasees and to benefit the whole of the inhabitants of the metro polis generally. lle had also iucluded in the bill the question, which was founded upon an act passed !engage, relative to meetings in Trafalgar :square, t chich was within a mile of the Houses of Parliament. Holding such meetings was detrimental to the public interest. Mr. le EATE said he thought the bill was only intended to deal with the holding public nieetmes in the Royal parks, but it appeared to hint that the question ought to be di , cussed whether it was net necessary to include the question of right to hold any large public meetings without the permission of the constituted authori ties. If it were right thatany large meetings should take place was there any portion of the metropolis more suitable than Hyde Park. He would ask was it right that half a dozen people should have the right to call together a certain section of the people to a largo meeting. The people considered that when you restrained them front meeting that the amusements of the rich were put into competition with mlist they called the political rights of the people. He denied that Lord Pemolagh or any one else bad the right to call large meetings of the people at any one place. What had happened at Bristol and at Bir mingham might occur on a much larger scale in Lon don at a moment of political excitement. The Go vernment had the greatest responsibility iu the matter, for they after all had at length recognised the sovereignty of the people and were bound to protect the safety of the people. He should vete against this bill on account of its inadequacy. Mr. TAYLOR said that he rose to move that this bill be read that day six months. He considered it was a measure totally unfitted to the consti tution of the country.. It was intended to take away the constitutional rights of the people by depriving them of holding public meetings in the metropolis. He knew that it did not assert that the people should not hold public meetings in the metropolis, but it forbade them to meet in Hyde-park and other places where alone they could hold meetings. He would quote the words of Shylock when he says, " You deprive me of my house when you do take away the roof that does support my house • you take my life when yo u do take m y means." Ho contended that the bill of the Government was an inno vation upon the constitutional rights of the people, which had existed for more than a century. He contended that the people had at all those public meetings conducted themselves with great credit. It appeared from the proceedings of July, on the highest legal authority, that the Government could keep the people out of the park, but that when they were once in they could only bring some action of trespass; but what was the action of the Govern ment last July? A very feeble one. They locked the doors of the parks, and put policemen and others inside, and the consequence was that the immense mass of people forced down the rotten rails and obtained admis sion. They all knew what occurred afterwards. The Government got a new theory, on the authority of Lord Cairns and Sir William Bovill. They found that they could not prevent these meetings if the people were orderly. The Government could not have taken more vacillating steps steps than on that occasion nor means more likely to stir up a riot in the midst of such irritation and excitement. Ho did not believe that the members of this Government intended to stain the grass of Hyde-park with the blood of the people, but they had carried out a system of irritation which was very . likely to lead to most serious consequences. He thought that the hon. gentleman might have taken the words of a political opponent. Rol Rased!' had said iu a most temperate speech that the course pursued last year by the Government had led to a great diminution of constitutional authority, and that the system this year had not been much better, and therefore ho thought it most advisable for the Government to leave Hyde Park alone, (Hear, hear.) No disturbance would have arisen at all even if 50 , 000 p eo p le had assembled in Hyde-park. I It would be a most inconsistent thing that the last session of an unreformed house of Parliament should pass such a bill as this. By passing this bill her Majesty's Govern ment were creating a new statutable offence. In Paris au iilegal meeting was when twenty-one persons were assembled ; but as we liked to be inure liberal than the French, had not the right hon. gentleman introduced a clause limiting the members at a meeting to 42 ? Mr. J. S. MILL seconded the amendment. r Mr. NEWDEGATE said that the hon. member for Leicester had complained of the bill because it ; strengthened the power of the Government with regard to the parks, inasmuch as it gave great powers to the Board of Works. Now he quite ' agreed with the hon. gentleman that uo authority should be given to the Board of Works. It migLt be l considered by the honourable gentleman a very monarchical restriction, but ho admired the act pa din the time of George 111. that no meeting should besseheld within a mile of Hyde-park. The Anteri f cans had really made such an edict, and very wisely determined that no meeting s hould be held I within six miles o f their capital. In Federal Columbia, too , no meetings were allo wed to be hold ; they wished to keep ' terrorism from(uhait7posrrtEioAnxoisf olerica.

CHATrEnTos's BENEFIT.—The able and enterprising manager of Drury-lane Theatre, takes Lis annual benefit on Wednesday next, when he has proposed so varied an entertainment that it cannot but be attractive to all kinds of taste. lie offers no less than wino separate performances, each embracing some peculiar talent. Ho commences with the second scene of the " School for Scandal." Then comes a little vaudeville French comedy, in which M. Ravel performs one of his famous farce parts. Then the last scene of the third act of " King John," in which Mrs. Hermann Vezin appears. Mr. Barry Sullivan next appears in "Falstaff," fur the first time iu London. Thou the famous Benedict and Beatrice scene from " Much Ado About Nothing,' in which Miss Herbert and Mr. Walter Lacy appear. Mrs. Howard Paul gives her famous sneezing song and a new comic ballad by Mr. Leigh. Mr. T. Powrie, the famous Scotch "Rub Roy," then appears assisted by a full chorus. We have then the realisation of a thing often talked about though seldom seen, the play of " Hamlet" without rtso the part of the prince ; that is .to say , Miss Madge Robe n wil give the mad scene of " Ophelia." The monster perform ance will cone!ude with the scenes of the Workhouse Gate and the Jolly Beggar's Club.
