MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK There continues to be a fair demand for accom modation in the general discount market, and the rates remain firm at 3 per cent., with exceptional transactions in superior paper at a shade under. On Saturday there was a withdrawal £3,000 in gold from the Bank of England. The Deutchland, from New York, has brought about £37,000 in specie ; and the Syria, from Alexandria, about £4,500. In the Corn Market to-day there was a rather large attendance, and a good demand prevailed for home-grown wheat at fully last Monday's quota tions. Foreign wheat, owing to limited supplies on hand and the prospect of short arrivals for the next three months, has been in more request, at an advance of 2s. per quarter. About 90,000 quarters have changed hands during the week, and about 1 00,000 quarters are on passage shipping and to be shipp e d up to July next. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week show that business in several de partments has been more animated. At Man chester considerable excitement has prevailed in the cotton market, and spinners and manufacturers demand enhanced rates for cloths and yarns. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been little change of Importance, but a better inquiry has prevailed for autumn and winter goods. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have been sea sonably active ; but in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been little change of importance. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined k, to 31 32 ; but the Consolidated Afortgage Bonds remain steady at 21 22. A report has been issued by the Trust and Agency Company of Australasia, in which they recommend the payment, free of income tax, of a dividend for the half year ending Dec. 31, 1866, of is. per share, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum ; also a bonus of 2s. per share, making a total distribution for the year 1866 of 4s. Der share, equal to 20 per cent. on the capital called up. If the contemplated arrangements are carried out Ins Majesty the King of the Belgians has to-day inaugurated the commencement of the operations of the Belgian Public Works Company. This event is invested with considerable interest, the project involving an outlay of £3,000,000. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 35c. Heavy. In the market for English Securities there has been very little variation, but upon the whole the tendency has been favourable, and Consols are higher, viz., 91 for money and the account, and 91 4 i for the June settlement. The New Threes are 89/, ; Reduced Annuities, 89k ; Exchequer ills, 21s. to 255. prem.; India 5 per Cents., 110 4; ditto Enlaced 5 per Cents., 102 4 ; ditto 54 per C euta., 1074 108 ; and ditto Debentures, 103 4. In the F ore i gn St oc k M ar k et Tory l i ttle business has been transacted, but prices are firm. Italian ha ve advanced to 48/ ; Greek, 13 14 ; Danu bian Scrip, to 7 5 dis. ; Russian Scrip 4, to 14 di s. ; and Spanish Passive 4, to 204 I ; Mexican are without change at 154 164 ; Turkish 5 per Cents at 29 4 ; and Chilian Scrip at 5 4 dis. In the R a il way Sh are M ar k e t th ere con ti n ues to be very little animation, but in one or two instances prices are a shade firmer. Lancashire and York- Shire and North-Western have each improved 4, a nd Brighton and Metropolitan, each 1 ; while Nor th-Eastern (Berwick) have declined 1, South- Eastern and Great Northern 4. The Foreign and Colonial lines show no change ; I , f importa nce . G rea t Luxemburg are dealt i n a t 84 15-16ths ; East Indian at 108 1084 -; Bombay a nd Baroda at 101'1, and Scinde at 1004. American S ecur iti es are steady. E r i e Sh ares ha ve advanced /, to 42 4 ; but Illinois remained at 7 6, and United States 5-20 bonds at 714 4. M iscellaneous and Finance Shares remain at t a dY prices, An g lo-American being de a lt i n at 1 9 ; l antic Telegr a ph 8 per cents. at 164 ; R oya l M ail St e am at 935 95 ; and Viceroy of Egypt's Mort gage Loan at 704.

The excitement caused by the proposed meeting this afternoon in Hyde Park under the auspices of the Reform League, in defiance of the expressed determination of the Government not to allow the park to be used for such a purpose, has somewhat subsided in consequence of its being semi -officially announced that no active steps will be taken on the part of the authorities unless an attempt is made to erect platforms for the accommodation of the speakers at the meeting. The Secretary of State has, we believe, agreed to allow audiences to be collected in any.number, but nothing further will be permitted. The attendance of the public to-day in the early part of the morning in liydß-park was as gay as the weather was brilliant, Rotten-row was crowded with the cream of the aristocracy, and nothing was at all apparent that would give any indication of the scene the park will present between six and seven o'clock this evening. The number of special constables sworn in to-day in different parts of the metropolis has been very. great. At one o'clock to-day not less than be tween 14,000 and 15,000 persons had taken the oath to assist in preserving the public peace. As they were sworn they, in most instances, were formed in companies of six, when a sergeant was appointed and a district appointed to each. The proceedings were conducted with the utmost good humour, the great majority of the newly ap _ pointed officials looking upon the matter as a capital bit of fun. MEETING OF TIIE EXECUTIVE OF THE REFORM LEAGUE. A meeting of the executive committee was held this morning at the offices of the League, Adelphi terrace. The whole of the executive committee were present, and also deputations from Birmingham, Portsmouth, &c. The O'Donoughue, M.P., P. A. Taylor, M.P., Thomas Hughes, Esq., M.P., and Mr. Whalley, M.P., and several members of the general council were also present. The representatives of the press were not ad mitted, but they were furnished with the following account of the proceedings : " A long discussion followed in reference to the Government prohibition of the meeting after the opinions expressed by the law officers of the Crown. "The following resolution was carried unani mously : " "rhat it is the desire of the Executive Com mittee that their friends abstain from holding any meetings except those appointed by the Executive. It is also desirable that the speakers should abstain from any unnecessarily exultant reference to the conduct and position of the Government with re gard to the Hyde-park question.' " THE RESOLUTIONS TO BE PROPOSED THIS EVENING IN THE PARK. The following is the resolution prepared by the League for adoption by the meeting in the park this evening : " That this meeting, whilst still adhering to resi dential and registered manhood suffrage, protected by the ballot as the only really efficient means of reform in the representation of the people, hails with satisfaction the withdrawal last Thursday even ing of Lord Grosvenor's proposed amendment, and the majority of 81 on the same evening against the two years' residential clause in the Government bill, and earnestly calls upon the House of Com mons to make that bill a more full and honest means for the extension of the franchise by expunging from it the rate-paying clauses, equalising the borough and county franchises on the principle of household suffrage, and intro ducing a provision for giving the vote to lodgers, or else to reject the bill altogether." It was also arranged at the final meeting of the League prior to the meeting that the meeting should commence at the sound of the trumpet ; and at the conclusion of the meeting around No. 1 platform the trumpet will again sound, when the Council of the League hope the whole of the other meetings will conclude and quietly disperse. The great points of rendezvous will be Clerken well-green, Kennington, Russell -square, and Tra falgar-square. The Council will quit the offices of the League about 5 o'clock, and proceed in the most unostentatious manner to Hyde -park. The Cler kenwellers, however, having engaged a band three weeks ago , have made up their mi n d s to avail them elv the music as far as Regent- c i rcus, at which s e e ss of point the band will cease playing, and the north entrance section will proceed to the place of meeting in accordance with the directions of the League. TIIE BISHOP OF LONDON'S FUND. Yesterday evening there was a special service in the large open space under the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, and a collection on behalf of the fund which the Bishop of London has es tablished for the spiritual destitution in his diocese. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of Ripon. VIRGINIA WATER.—The well-known Chinese fishing temple at Virginia Water having become de cayed, it will be replaced by another building, designed like a Swiss chalet, which will give increased accommo dation when required by the royal family. It is to be completed by the autumn. The Sunday Gazette states that the object of the meeting of Lord Derby's supporters summoned for to day is to give a full explanation of the course the Go vernment have made up their minds to adopt with re gard to the amendments proposed or threatened to the Reform Bill. It is thought most probable that the lodger franchise scheme will not be opposed, but it is said to be now unlikely that the united Cabinet will agree to Mr. llibbert's amendment or abandon Mr. Disraeli's last pro posal to abolish invidious distinctions between one class of compound householders and another by the repeal of the third clause of Sir William Clay's Act. Th e Sunday Gazette believes that the Liberal party will unanimously resist this step, and that the consequence will be the fall of the Ministry or a dissolution of the pre sent ;louse of Commons. THE TOMER CASE.—On Saturday morning Mr. Ferry, the governor of the County... House of Correction at Reading, in which 'roomer has been confined since his trial at Abingdon last year, received a post letter from the Home-office ordering 'roomer's release, her Majesty having granted him a free pardoa for the crime of which ho stood convicted. The contents of the letter were immediately conveyed to 'roomer, who appeared much pleased that the demand he had made through his friends fm: a free pardon had been acceded to. He quitted the gaol durihg the morning. l'autt Ihirrisll INSTINCTS.—A white bear got loose from a menagerie the other day at Nottingham, and strayed into a field where some labourers were at work. They looked at the strange animal, thought it looked dan gerous, and went off to call the police, the richest illustra tion of true British instinct wo have recently had. if Satan wore to appear to an average Englishman, ha would first call a constable, then write to the Times, and then describe his visitor at a public meeting.—Spectator.

There was a fai r average b us i ness d o i ng i n spr i ng corn an d flour, at full quo t at i ons. The cont i nenta l mar k e t s con tinue very firm for all kinds of produce. In America very little business is doing on English account. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into London last week were 43,690 quarters of wheat, 8,766 barley, 99,911 oats, 2,520 beans, 144 peas, 505 tares, 8,229 linseed, 25,859 rape seed, 5,054 maize, and 1,900 sacks of flour. The supply of English wheat fresh up to-day, ceastwisc and by land earring,,, was very limito,l, but, in fair aver age condition. Owin g in some measure to the prev ailing. fine u (Nailer, and the f avoura bl e accoun t s a t h an d resrct ing tho growing crops, the doniand for both red ane white qualities was in a slugglib state at about last Monday's prices. We were somewhat heavily supplied with Foreign wheat, in which only a moderate business Wag doing, a; about last Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain wore held at full quotations. The supply Of English barley was very mo,lerate. 0 foreign goods all kinds met a dull inquiry at barely lab.. rates. 3lvlt was in full average supply and sluggish request, a' about stationary prices. The show of foreign oats being unusually large, the de mand fur that description of produce was heavy, at barely late rates to a slight decline. Beans met a dull inquiry, at previous rates were with difficulty supported. In peas next to nothing was doing on former term•. The flour trade was very quiet at last week's currency, Seec's and cakes were a dull inquiry. In price; how• ever, very little change took place. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Our market to-day was rather heavily supplied with foreign stock, in, for the most part, middling condition. Sales progressed heavily, at a serious fall in the quotations. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were again on the Lacrease, and in prime condition. Although thorn was about an average number of buyers in attendance, all breeds of boasts met an unusually heavy sale, at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we receiveclabout 2,000 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; and front Scotland, 174 Scots and crosses. There were no arrivals reported from Ireland. We were rather heavily supplied with most breeds of sheep, and their general quality was good.

In connection with the Derby, the most noteworthy feature was the strong disposition to support Hermit, who at his price was made the medium of several investments. The Great Northern was. mentioned, but, though several animals were backed, it was but to inconsiderable amounts.

Target led the Hermit a nice mile and three quarters' gallop, the latter moving freely ; he had previously had two steady canters of about a mile each. The Dragon trotted and cantered for awhile, and then went nearly a couple of miles; no horse in the world could appear or gallop better than he did to-day. Sometimes, however, he ap pears to tire at the close of his work. Sealskio wok l)'Estournel along for a mile and a half fast End Flying Scud led Opoponax a similar distance at good pace. Hippia was in long, steady work witl Gainball, and goes well. Musician led The ltaki uid B(eur de Ci.arite three short, brisk canters, an.. then the two former galloped a mile' and three juartets beautifully. Julius followed Bontbastes iii L 'title • and a half gallop. Fripounier, Grituston, Bismarck, Eau de Vie, Saccharometer, and Knight •of the Garter were out, early, and did a fait amount of work each before the above com menced. Bloss gave Blinkhoolie over two miles, and Bertie, Tempest, Pedagogue, and Problem did about a mile and three quarters. Thalassius, Sir Oliver, and Cellina galloped a mile and a half fast. The latter is improving. Star of India went nearly a couple of miles, and Dunblane, Godinersham, and Nightwatch were severally busy. Pericles took Ninny and Speculum a mile clipping. Suffolk and North Marston galloped a similar distance very fast. Jenny, too, had a rattling mile gallop. Bounce away was in real good work, and went splendidly. The Beadle was leading Julius. Vespasiau and Indigestion had a mile and three quarters steadily to. themselves ; and Lothario, Dalesmau, and Fal kenstein a couple of miles. Belphegor led Angus a mile at a sldw pace ; and we also noted Miss Harriette, Sultan, Wild Agnes, Tourinalin, Chig. non, La Belle Jeanne, Roquefort, Mbleskin, Ravioli, Man of Ross, Landlord, Mazurka, Flamingo, Hatty, Knight Errant, and several others very active. The heath is in beautiful condition now, and trainers arc exceedingly busy. Some of our Chester horses are in physic. All are healthy, but Volunteer is very lame. SPORTING NOTES. One of the great meetings of the season has been brought Lo a successful issue during the past week, and "To Deum Laudamus" under particularly fine weather, occasional showers excepted, in comparison with seine of the, wretched days we had to go through iu April. The last of that month, however, on which day Chester races com menced, was, although ushered in with plenty of wet in o morn'ng, a most agreeable one throughout the after- The usual "swells" put in au appearance, and at ,ntervals throughout the week a perfect galaxy of beauty made the fair sex conspicuous on the Grand Stand, and the cynosure of all eyes. The first day's racing has no special feature of interest to comment upon. Moulsey showed himself in his best form by beating Re galia in a canter for the Grosvenor Stakes whilst Goojerat and Lady Highthorn ran up to the trials they had previously had iu public, the first winning the Wynnstay Handicap, and the other the Mostyu Stakes. The filly by Parmesan out of Archeress, now called Parma, won the Eaton Plate,' thereby upsetting a groat pot on Sycee. Red Riband had no difficulty in settling the pretensions of Arundel for the Chesterfield Stakes. The attendance on the Cup day was fully equal to the usual average, and never did it take place when the weather was more auspicious. It is true Boeswing beat her twenty opponents with consum mate e ase, but I question if the skrimmago which took place, in which Grinashaw's stirrup leather was broken, did not materially alter the result—indeed, if Moulsey, who ran fifth as it was, could have got the dis tance, he must have won, and as the old horse never was in finer form, I think he would, from his after running, have done so. Lecturer, who was very little better favourite than Lord Bateman's horse, is not the " clinker" ho was supposed ; and aunt, who never appeared dan gerous in the race, did not run up to his last year's form. Therunning of Hiss Havelock was too bad to be true —in deed, from the style in which she landed her Majesty's Guineas on Thursday, there is very little doubt, with such a jockey as Kenyon in the saddle, whose services I believe Mr. Woad might have obtained, she must h ave been very near, if not the absolute winner. Lucifer was beat a long way, but the horse had evidently not been half prepared, and later in the season, at Ascot will very. likely be heard of to or Goodwood, to wit, greater advantage. In the Deo Stakes Van Atnburgh, by beating The Rescue in a canter, proved himself a good outsider for the Derby, and was backed accordingly. There was no other event of much interest during the meeting, and I must now turn my attention to the engagements of the week, which will divide the north and south divi sion of trainers and bookmakers most effectually. Tho Ascot SPRING Meeting commences on Tuesday, but it is generally understood that it will not be continued, her Majesty being opposed to it, after the present season. The second year of the First Spring Biennial Stakes has KNIGHT OF THE GARTER and Friponnier engaged, and I give the preference to the first named. In the Brabant Stakes CONUNDRUM and MONITRESS appear best in. For the Grand Stand Plate I fancy LICTOR or Baron Roths chili's representative. On Wednesday the South-Western Railway Plato will be won by SWEET HOME, whilst VEDA ought to give a good account of herself in the Sunning Hill Stakes. • noon. The unfortunate clashing of Ascot with York Spring Meeting will doubtless do a considerable injury to the Knavesmire attendance, and later on in the week Doncaster must suffer from the Salisbury races taking place on the same days. Ou the first day I see nothing to beat ARCHIMEDES unless he should• be reserved for the Great Northern Handicap, for which, however, he is no fancy of mine ; indeed, my voting must be for BRACKEN. Hav ing had the pleasure of inspecting VISCOUNT when a yearling, should ho be sent for the Zetland Stakes I have no hesitation in saying he will strip the bust-looking horse in the race and be returned as the winner also. The Knavesmirk Plate should go to HATTY, who claims a 71b allowance. The Union Hunt Plate I know nothing about. The Eglinton Stakes, run on Wednesday, is a moral for WROUGHTON, and in his absence, BISMARCK should win; KNIGHT Or ST. AlicHaEL cannot very well lose the Londesborough Cup, and HAWKSWELL might win the Flying Dutchman's Handicap. Passing on to Doncaster, there is nothing tobeat HUNTS MAN iu the Trial Stakes ; and I shall plump for LIEL TELLYN in the Hopeful Stakes. For the Londesborough Plate APPLECROSS looks to have a great chance. As _lie- trousse's running for the Doncaster Spring Handicap de pends upon his performance at York, I prefer the chances of SELIM and IIAwKswELL. In the absence of Knight of the Garter for the Betting Room stakes, HUNTSMAN will take a great deal of beating, and as most of the horses en gaged in the Chesterfield Handicap will have been run through previously, your readers will then be more com petent to judge for themselves than I can possibly be now. The Salisbury Spring Meeting, on Thursday and Fri day, is sure to produce good fields; but although there aro 35 horses engaged in -the Salisbury Stakes, it seems odds on LADY ELIZARPTH. 11111 NINNY, whom I fancy in the order named. The Wiltshire Stakos is next door to a certainty for Mr. Brayley's representative, and that, I should think, would be Douno, next to whom I fancy Charles 11. The Old Castle Stakes and the Craven Plate aro better left alone ; and as regards the Wilton Park Stakes, run on Friday,, t4e - pwuer of PYRENEES, should be the recipient, whilst Abergeldie, in his City and Suburban form, cannot be defeated 41 the Salisbury Cup. 1031 5 271 8 110 111 9 1 1081 111 .0 122 '0 1211 2 55i 8i 7; 7 8 112 11; 12, 74 3 45) 1 51 161 104 31 1081 9 I 9 101 103 k al! 60;I 81 ,ITINB. MALTON. Treasure Trove, Knight of St. Michael, Apple cross, the Lion, and Viscount are in good condition, and ought to render a good account of themselves this week. Verdi has been leading Viscount some beautiful gallops latterly, and the latter is a very . promising youngster. This morning Knight of St. Michael took Grand Cross, Souloque, and Wild Wind three canters, and a mile and three-quarters gallop. Knight of the Crescent did two miles work with Westwiek, War, and Klarinska. Taraban worked by himself. Lion galloped a mile and a half ; and Skylark led Applecross a similar distance. Vernon was walking. Cora galloped a mile and three-quarters pretty fast. RICHMOND. Plaudit has become more active at exercise, an this morning cantered a mile twice with Rose and Violet, after which Lozenge took the three a nice gallop of very little short of a couple of miles. Plaudit evinces no lameness now, and moves with freedom, but is still lusty and sweats profusely. El Cid took Bumblekite a couple of miles this morning, and the latter will take her own part in the coming Oaks. Imperator and Geant des Batailles are also improving much. Hawkswell and Declaration have done well for their York engagements, and are very fit. Fat Bob is still amiss. Dear Tom is only moderate. STOCKBRIDGE. Ischia has been leading Vauban for the past few days, and this morning took him and Seville a mile and a half fast. Lord Ronald led Distin, Fairfield, and Harpenden a similar distance, and Cromera went a couple. of miles with John Davis. Lord Ronald subsequently took Lady Elizabeth and Cuckoo at a good pace for about a mile. Miss Bateman galloped by herself, and Caucasus merely , cantered. MIDDLEIIAM. Fervacques has returned from . France and been eased, but will recommence long fast work in a day or two. The following animals appear to have been specially prepared for York and Doncaster as they are just ripe—Bracken, Frost, Fitzroy, Policy, Rabbit Trap, Castanet, Belmont, Romping Girl, and the Czar: Perhaps Fitzroy and Bracken hare done the best of the lot. However, we expect to win two or three good races this week. FINDON. Longdown was set this morning to give 0 wain Glendwyr two canters of a mile each, and a steady gallop of nearly a couple of miles, which the latter did comfortably, but ho seems backward. Thalia and Gilead walked about. The rest were iu good fair work. LAMBOURNE. Marksman and the Sunflower filly continue very quiet, but Cawdor is in good work, and Summer time has recommenced activity. Liddington, too, is busy. Duet has galloped two miles each morning of late, but has no pace. Stockstill galloped a mile and a half to-day, and Lady Rosehill took Kings band and Agnes de Mansfeldt over a ►Wile. General Sherman, Monitress, and Tribune did the most of Drislane's team, and Bonnie Doon, Heather Bell, and Knight of Down the most of Gee's lot. FYFIELD. There is nothing the matter with Captain Kidd now. This morning he galloped a mile and three quarters, smartly. Pepper's Ghost has got into faster work. Staghound gallops with Savernake, and Pintail has been doing two miles by herself. The Splitvote colt took three canters of a mile, and then galloped a mile and three-quarters. Brada mante and Overture cantered only. Dulcet gallops a mile daily. HEDNESFORD. Retrousse and Master Willie go to the north. Yesterday they each had their final gallop of over two milu, and acquitted themselves first class. Edinburgh moves stilty, and the Dybbol is too moderate. LEWES. Ostreger led Limner and Lictor over a mile. Actsea, and Haidee, and others are walking. Bin nacle galloped a mile, and then he and Thermometer led a lot of youngsters. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon and Achievement have not done a very great amouut of work since their return from the First Spring gathering at head-quarters ; but this morning they cantered twice, and did a beauti ful mile and a half gallop, the filly moving with her usual grace and freedom. Gardevisure, after leading a lot of two year olds, gave Hatchment and the Laird a nice mile spin, but the latter neither looks nor goes well. Emmy also had charge of some youngsters. The General merely trotted and cantered about. Dalby walked some time and then cantered a mile twice. Brown Bread was cantering only. Salamanca did good work, and will go into the north this week. Miss llAvELocx. This mare was purchased on Thurs day night, at Chester, by the M trquis of Hastings, from Mr. Joseph Wood, with a further stipulation to receive .£25 each time she wins whilst in that nobleman's pos- session. The 4-yr-old coil by Marsyas, out of Atif;usta, belong ing to Nlr.Naylor, has been named Augustin. Lord Wilton's .3-yr.-old filly. by PdrllleSll7l, out of Archeress, has beep christened Parma. DIADEM was purchased by Mr. G. Payne for 115 guineas after winning the Ladies' Purse at Chester, on • Friday.

MARTIAL LAW IN THE COLONIES. Mr. READLAA asked the Chancellor of the ache, liter whether the attention of the Government had been , tir..cted to the presentment of the grand jury in the case of Colonel Nelson and .Lieutenant Brand, •‘ That ,martial law should be more clearly defined by legislative enact- Meat." And, whether the Government proposed in any manner to act upon the recommendation of the grand jury? Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQtUER said the Government did not wish to wait for the presentment of the grand jury, but his hon. friend the Secretary for the Colonies had addressed a circular to the Colonial Govern ment, which he thought would be attended with very im portant results. Ile thought the best course for the Government to pursue would be to'have a copy of the cir cular on the table of the house. THE IRISH AND SCOTCH REFOR3I BILLS. Mr. ESMONDE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reference to his answer on Friday last, when he said, in reference to a question on the subject of the Irish Re form Bill, " We shall take care of Ireland," what meaning was to be attached to such answer ; whether such billwas to be framed upon the principle of the Scotch Reform Bill as explained by him • and when it would be i n t ro d uce d? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he meant that the Government would take care that the en gegement they had entered into would be virtually carried out, after the introduction of the Scotch bill, which would take place ou Thursday or Monday at the latent. After that his noble friend the Secretary for Ireland would introduce the bill for Ireland. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had undertaken the charge of the Scotch bill in consequence of the absence of the Lord-Advocate front the house. MR. OSBORNE'S "MARE'S NEST." Mr. B. OSBORNE called the attention of the house to a matter which, he said, had assumed the shape of a per sonal affair. He referred to the memorandum which the hon. member for Swansea had drawn up, and also to the copy he had made known to the house. lie was quit e prepared to produce his copy, and he thought the only course open to the hon. member for Swansea was to pro : - duce the secret document. If ho was wrong in what he had stated about the document, he maintained that thu memorandum was drawn up to influence votes, and that his hon. friend had acted as a decoy duck, and that he had succeeded in inducing fifty feathered and confiding ducks to follow his example. He therefore called upon the hon. member to produce the document as the only way of setting the matter right. Mr. DILL WYN said he was quite ready to produce the original document if it was the wish of the house, bnt unless that wish was expressed he should refrain from doing so. He thought the proper course for the hon. member for Nottingham to have pursued would have been, after he had made his copy of the memorandum, to have asked him whether his copy was correct or not. (Hear.) Colonel TAYLOR said he had not ono word to add or to retract from the statement he had sent to the news papers. He considered the conversation he had had with the hon. member for Swansea was of a private nature. Mr. 0. STANLEY said he never stated that the copy of the document read by the hon. member for Nottingham was a correct one. He stated that it was written from re collection after the reading of the memorandum of the hon. member for Swansea. The proper time for him to have denied the correctness of the copy was when it was first read to the house by his hon. friend. This he had not done, and now he came forward and denied that it was in. consonance with the original document. Mr. HIBBERT said he knew nothing about that mat ter, but he thought from what had c ome t o hi s know ledge that the original document MIS a private communi cation. Mr. LOWE said the name of tne Chancellor of the Ex chequer having been mentioned in connection with a mat ter which, it had been said, had led to certain members having been influenced in that house, it was a matter that required some explanation from some member of the Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would, as there was then no question before the house, take the opportunity of making some 'observations on the motion for going into committee. THE FENIAN PETITION. _ ... Mr. D. GRIFFITHS 'proceeded to refer to certain ob servations made by Mr. I.iYight on the presentation of the petition telative . to the treaunent of the Fenian prisoners last Friday, but after he had proceeded some time Sir G. Grey said it was but right, before the subject was con verted into a question of privilege, notice of the fact should be given. The I.'E.I.KER also decided that before the matter could b properly before the house it was requisite that notice of his intention to do so shoal I be given. THE IRISH CHURCIL In rep) , to an MN. 11. Ems EU, dir JUill , l GREY said he should proceed with the matter to-morrow. THE MEETING IN HYDE PARK. :Sr. YOHKE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department a question with respect to the meeting in Hyde Park.' It had become known that cabs and coster mongers' carts had been admitted into Hyde Park, and what he wished to know was whether the ordinary regu lations had altogether been set aside. Mr. WALPOLE said be was not aware of the admission cf cabs and carts into Hyde Park. All the ordinary regu lations with respect to that park were now in full opera tion. • THE REFORM BILL. The House went into Committee on thts Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he regretted he had not been able to place the exact words of the amendment he had referred to in the hands of hon. metubets. lie hoped, however, to do so to-morrow even ing. With respect to the amendment of the hon. mem ber for Oldham, he had fulfilled his promise, and brought the matter under tho consideration of his colleagues, and The right regretted they could not relieve the com p ound householders in the manner he proposed. Tel right hon. gentleman then proceeded to state the the it had entire been su set out that neither the landlord nor the It was proposed that the compound ho useholder should i li n a a t k li e re i n the ef bill te with ae i li •e d spTe e t te to c tli m a n t po u li n e d h P ru Pe s eh e a o d lder t s o . o ß f y ra o fr t s h deduct arrangements f , r t o •h m ole hi a e m r o e u n n te t . amount l)y t the 3 occu pier would incur the fine that had been spoken of. He proposed to make certain amendments to the 34th clause, and also to meet the repeal of the 13th and 14th Viet-, saving of course all existing rights. Mr. would like to know what was meant by l ie A r s N o hu C C ELL whose R name o f t h N e v a E s X ono t E h Q e U r e E g lt i s t er said s i h t the last observation about existing right s ? tha T t any o w u Id s be protected in all the rights which he at present enjoys. The course he thought that would be most advantageous to pursue was after they had finished the third clause they should consent to the postponement of all clauses between it and the 2.lth, and proceed with that, and thus at once dispose of the important question of the compound house holder. Mr. BRIGHT thought that if the whole matter was postponed for a fewdays, there was every prospect some arrangement agreeable to all parties would be come to. If the party of the right hon. gentleman would give him the power of doing that which ho (Mr. Bright) felt certain he was desirous of doing, viz., to make the bill a good and great measure, the better it would be for all pa rties. The question was then put by Mr. Dodson that the words "12 months" be inserted in the third clause, in place of the words "two years," which was agreed to. Sir R. PALMER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the compound householder would be permitted merely to make the deduction he then spoke of merely for one year to enable him to get his name on the re g ister, or whether he would have the favour of cluing it every year. he CHANCELLOR of the E±CHEQUER said the T dedu ction of course would be made every following year. (hear, hear.) Sir R. PALMER moved his amendment to clause 3, which was to omit the word "inhabitant." before that of occupier, the effect of which was to make the qualifi catiou of the occupier suflkient for the claim to be put on the register. Mr. GOLDING thought it w ould be un wise to strike the word inhabitant out of the bill. Sir COLLIER said the effect of the argument of his R. hon. and learned friend was to place the voter below £lO in the same position as the voter above that amount.
