DUBLIN, Sunday. A monster meeting was held at Harold's-cross to day, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the family of the late Mr. G. H. Moore. It is calcu lated that 20,000 persons were present, wearing funeral favours. There was a procession of trades, with bands and banners, draped with crape. Bodies of police were stationed along the route. No cheer ing was allowed, but a vote of condolence with the family passed. The proceedings, whieh were cha, racterised by the greatest propriety and solemnity, then terminated. FIRE AT THE PAST-END. A fire broke out yesterday evening at about nine o'clock in the premises of Messrs. Merton, Mew, and Sons, sugar-refiners, Christian-street. St. George's in-the-East. Engines were promptly on the spot ; no less than a dozen, including six land steamers, being soon called into operation. The large building was, however, soon entirely enveloped in flames, and the efforts of the firemen then became directed to pre venting the flames from reaching the adjoining pre mises. The fire was not entirely extinguished at noon to-day (Monday), and several land steamers were at that time in active operation. Owing to the time the fire has been burning a far greater amount of property has been destroyed than was at first anticipated, and it is believed that £BO,OOO will not cover the loss. During the night one of the heavy walls gave way and nearly killed ten of the brigade men working under it. Unfortunately one of the volunteers belonging to Mr. Hewitt's corps, from the Larkhall-lane Brewery, was so seriously injured that he was obliged to be removed to the hospital, and it is feared that the injuries he has sustained will prove fatal. This is unquestionably the largest fire that has taken place in London for some years. THE HALFPENNY POSTAGE. The Echo has received the following letter with reference to the issue of the halfpenny stamp :—" Sir,—ln reply to your further letter of the 21st instant, I have to inform you that it is proposed to commence the reduction of the postage on newspapers and printed matter on the Ist of October next, by which time the halfpenny postage-stamp will, of course, be issued.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, A. BENTHILL. —General Post Office. London, April 22." There are now six vacancies in the representation of Irish constituencies—Dublin, Cashel, Sligo, Mallow, Longford, and Mayo. This is unprecedented, except after a dissolution of Parliament. Lady Franklin arrived at Panama on the 28th ult., having made the trip from England via the Straits of Magellan, and left per Colorado on the 29th ult. The late discoveries made by Captain Hall in the Arctic regions leads her, it is said, to seek an interview with him. Two great sales of hunters take place next week— one of the horses belonging to Mr. C. Newton, the late master of the Cambridgeshire hounds ; and the other of Mr. Henry Chaplin's horses, at Lincoln April Fair, on Tuesday, all of which are represented to be of a first-class character. runp South London Courier retails a bit of clever bait offered by a shrewd tradesman. At the recent meet ing of the Lambeth Board of Guardians, the sugar con tractor sent an intimation that, in consequence of the reduced sugar duty, he should reduce his contract price 2s. per cwt. One of the guardians said he was a " fool for his pains !" Dr. Tyler Smith, under whose care Lady Mordaunt has been since the late trial, writes to say that the fol lowing paragraph in the Lancet is erroneous, but in what respect it does not state :—" Lady Mordaunt continues in much the same health she has had for many months, her mental condition being neither perceptibly aggravated nor perceptibly relieved."

SHARE LIST. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This DAY. RAILWAYS-ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. ROLLS COURT. PLUMSTEAD HEATH. His Honour delivered judgment to-day in the case of NVarrick v. the Provost and scholars of Queen's College, Oxford. The suit was instituted by four gentlemen on behalf of themselves and the other freehold tenants of the manor of Plumstea 1 for the purl:, °se of maintaining their rights of common age, which were disputed by the defendants as lords of the manor. The defendants founded their rcsitauce to the rights claimed on the ground that the plaintiffs could not prove their title from the original charter, and it was contended also that freeholders must sell individually. His Honour considered that the bur den of proof lay with the defendants, and not the plaintiffs, who were not bound to produce the origi nal charter. He decreed in favour of the plain tiffs, and the defendants must pay the costs. POLICE INTELLIC ENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Francis Jones was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, as follows :—Mr. Edward Morris, of 49, Princes street, Leicester-square, said that on Saturday night he was walking along Tichborne-street with a friend, when ,the prisoner, who bad formerly been in his service, and treated with great kindness by him, but had been discharged by him on account of his having been several times in trouble, came up to him and said that he had only just come out of prison, and that if he did not give him some money be would expose him as a swindler. A police-constable proved hearing the prisoner abuse and threaten the com plainant. Barnes ' the gaoler, said the prisoner had been charged with all sorts of offences, and was as bad a man as ever stood in the dock. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to find one bail of £5 to be of good behaviour for two months. THIRD EDITION. Closing Business Paid. Name. Quotations, done.

Julia Mahoney, better known as the " Wild Irish Girl," although she is 33 years of age, and is in ap pearance an old woman of 80, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and attempting to strangle herself NTith her apron strings in a cell in the King David-lane station-house, Shadwell. The prisoner has been repeatedly convicted, and is a most dis orderly and violent woman. She has frequently knocked down constables, and others, broken pub licans' windows, and has kept otherwise quiet dis tricts in a state of turmoil and confusion for hours by her mad pranks. A police-constable, named Joseph Soper, took her into custody after she had been making a great disturbance and collecting a disorderly mob about her. Inspector Rouse knowing that she was in the practice when locked up of at tempting to strangle herself kept a careful watch over her. She soon made fast her apron strings to the bars over the cell door, and made a slip noose a la Calcraft, round her neck and attempted to strangle herself. She was sent to prison for a week. THIS WEEK'S RACING. Sixteen meetings are set down for decision this week. The principal are those to be held at Guildford, East bourne Hunt, Cardiff, Croydon ; and in Scotland there is the Eglinton Hunt, two clays, to gather the clans. Speculation on some of these events must necessarily be premature ; but Bell's Life adventures the following :—At the Eastbourne Hunt Meeting, Molloy Bawn or Effigy should win the Mile and a Quarter Handicap, Lady Greensleeves the Tradesman's Plate, and Sophie th e I nn k ee p ers ' Pl a t e . With G u ildf or d results we dare not meddle, beyond suggesting that Lord Poulett should carry off the Grand Annual Steeple. chase and at Cardiff, Osprey will be returned victorious for the Corporation Plate, and Daisy will very. probably place the Open Steeplechase to Mr. Powell's credit. A large amount of added money given to the two days' meeting at Croydon might have been expected to attract a better class of horses than those engaged in the fiat races, although in the hurdle and cross country events we meet with the names of some of the crack performers of the day. The fields will, no doubt, be good, and the fixture is so happily timed that the attendance is likely to exceed that noticed on any previous occasion. As yet Tues day's races alone can be dealt with. The Wood. side Plate may probably be won by the penalised Brother to Vex or Royal Exchange ; and of those likely to run for the Great " Welcomes " Handicap, Paganini and Apollo read dangerous, although Mr. Brayley may very likely have a good favourite. Limerick may win the Grand National Hurdle Race, and Q.C. the Steeplechase Plate. In the Hunters' Steeplechase nothing appears to possess claims superior to Leoncillo and Three Per Cent. The Sportsman prophet deals only with Guildford : On Monday, in the Guildford Grand Anneal Steeplechase, I shall stand whichever Ben Land runs. In the Percy Plate Ligurian and Toby appear to have the best chances. The Surrey Great Hurdle Race will, I think, fall to Knight or Down or Head Centre. In the Railway Plate Duchess of Devonshire and Wistaria have the best chances. The Albury Steeplechase Plate will be won by Aintree. _ The Sporting Life writer deals with three meetings in this wise :—The Guildford Grand Annual Steeplechase had 20 subscribers, of whom 15 have accepted, the dis tance being four miles, and of these I prefer Carlos or Double Event. The Percy Plate will be won by Toby or Head Centre ; whilst for the Surrey Grand Hurdle Race I shall rely solely on Aerolite. In the Railway Plate of 50 sovs (5 fur.), I prefer Zerlina and Phantom, and the Albury Steeplechase Plate will be won by Aintree. Three e,y,en i tueporgpleV foe_Tuesday, the Aldershot Camp " Goblets" to Widdles • whilst Gentlem;.ii should' w k et the Chilworth Stakes, if' he is good for anything. The Eastbourne Hunt Meeting will be held on Monday, and is likely to afford some sport to the frequenters of that fashionable watering-place. Four races have closed, and of these the Eastbourne Handicap should be won by Juanita, and the Tradesmen's Plate will fall to Outp ost or Satellite. For the Innkeepers' Plate I prefer Roderick Dhu or Billy Pedder, and the Hurdle Race Handicap looks best for Saturnalia or Hungerfcrd. Croydon fol lows on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the entries being numerous, some good racing of the plating form is likely to take place. Five events are complete for Tuesday, of which the Woodside Plate will bring out a good field, and is likely to be won by Antias or Brother to Vex. In the Great Welcomes Handicap I prefer Nightjar or Tourist, should the latter have returned from Newmarket ; and in the Grand National Hurdle Race, Limerick and Ada Penelope look best. The distance of the Croyden Steeple Chase (three miles) will just suit Q.C., and with him I must couple Lord Waldegrave. On Wednesday I shall stand on Mount Pleasant and Nightjar for the Welter Cup, whilst the Surrey Grand Open Steeple Chase will be won by Brick or Scarrington, and in the Selling Handicap Steeple Chase I see nothing capable of beating Fleetwing. The Field adventures a guess at the Scotch meeting— the Eglinton Hunt :—On Thursday the most impor tant items in the card are the Eglinton Handicap Steeple chase, the Glasgow Plate, and Welter Cup. Twenty horses remain in the Eglinton' Steeplechase (3i miles) and if Mr. St. John decides to run The Doctor, this son of the Cure will win, if Ile can beat Gloster. The Welter Cup (II miles) will be carried off by Target ; and the Glasgow Plate ( 6 furlon g s) b y Lord Eglinton's representative, Blackwell or Bloodshot. On Friday the Irvine Cup (one and a half miles) will be won by Moscow ; and the West of Scotland Grand National Steeplechase (two and a half miles) by Barbarian or Bona parte. The same writer has these remarks on the Croydon meeting :—ln the Great Welcomes Handicap (one and a quarter miles) seventeen horses stand from the original twenty-nine nominations. Paganini, Ost., is the top weight; but he wiLl•scarcely beat Ventnor and Ligurian, and to this pair the issue may be left. The Woodside Plate (about five furlongs) has attracted twenty-six entries, and if Royal Exchange is sent for it we do not perceive how he can be defeated. In his absence, the elected of Mr. Bennett's pair —Romance or Brother to Vex—may pull through. There are twenty-four nominations for the Croy don Steeplechase Plate (three miles), and we prefer the chances of T he Elk an d Roving Maid the last being very nicely handi ca pp ed. In the Grand National Hurdl e Race (two miles) Double Event will, notwith standing h i s com paratively heavy weight, run forward, as a cleverer jumper than this son of Vedette is not in train ing. He may, however, fail to beat Ada Penelope and La Sorrentina. On Wednesday, the Welter Cup (one and a-half miles) may be won by Tasman ; the Grand Open Hanel. e_IT Steeplechase (about 31 miles) by Scarrington or Madrid ; and the Hurdle Handicap Plate miles) by Acton. For the latter event Glenfalloch, who is second favourite for Chester Cup, has been nominated, but there is little fear of the horse commencing a jumping ca reer a t this early date. • Bell's Life notes that James Snowdon, who broke his thigh by falling with Falkland in the West York Nursery at Pontefract, last July, has taken to silk again and won the Borough Handicap at Catterick on Friday. Blue Gown was given up to Peter Price on Thursday mor ning, and will remain at Newmarket for some time to be prepared for the foreign races in which he i s eligible to contend. Custance will ride the King o' Scots, son of King Tom and Katherine Logic, in the Twl Thousand. -- We learn from the Sporting Gazette that Kangaroo, the horse for which the Mar qu i s o f H as ti ngs gave £6,000 after winning the three-year-old Biennial at the Newmarket Craven Meeting, 1865, while running for the Hambledon plate at the Hambledon Hunt meeting on Thursday. smashed his off fore fetlock joint so badly that he was im mediately shot. The Sporting Gazette states that Blue Gown and The Colonel are now in Peter Price's stables at Newmarket. Blue Gown will remain under Price's care to be trained for the Ascot Cup, after which he will make his deb& on the Continent, in the Grand Prix at Lyons, in June. His next appearance will be in the Cup at Deauville, and his last in the Grand Prix at Baden Baden, when he will take leave of the Turf, and be put to the stud at Hoppegarten ' near Berlin. Wells has been engaged to rid e hi m i n a ll the above races. The Colonel will start next year for Hoppegorteti. His first appearance will be in a steeplechase at Berlin, in June ; and in the course of the summer he will run in the Ham bOurg, Wiesbaden, F r a n kf or t, and Baden Dad= steeple- W' • - SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. IMPERIAL PARLIAAIENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tiers DAY. Parliament reassembled to-day, after the Easter recess, but at the hour at which the Speaker took the chair (five minutes to four), there was a very thin attendance of members. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Caledonian Railway (Additional Powers) Bill ; Reading Local Board of Health Bill. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time :—Burnham Tidal Harbour Bill ; Caledonian and Glasgow and South Western Railway Companies ; Edinburgh Royal Infirmary; Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway ; Imperial Continental Gas Association ; Milford Haven Dock and Railway ; Newry and Greenore Railwry ; Owens College Extension. Mr. GREVILLE NUGENT presented a petition from Bridgwater, praying that the bill for the disfranchisement of Bridgwater may not pass into a law. EPPING FOREST. Mr. BERESFOED HOPE asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether he could inform the House of the measures which he proposed to adopt to secure the continued en joyment of Epping Forest to the public. Mr. GLADSTONE said the pledge given by Government on the subject had not been neglected, and measures were in progress which he hoped would result satisfactorily, but they had not yet advanced sufficiently to enable him to give the hon. member a definite answer. THE FRENCH TREATY. Mr. VANCE asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade if our Ambassador at Paris had suggested that two English merchants or manufacturers should be examined before the French Commission of Inquiry respecting the Commercial Treaty now in force between England and France, and, if so, upon what principle those witnesses were to be selected. Mr. OTWAY : A suggestion had been made, as the hon. member stated, and a communication had taken place on the subject between the Board of Trade and the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce. The subject under considera tion related to cotton manufacture, and there was nothing special required of the persons selected beyond being fully acpiainted with the subject he had mentioned- THE DISFRANCHISEMENT OF BEVERLEY AND BRIDGWATER. In reply to a question from Mr. NEVILLE GRENVILLE, - _ The ATTORNEY GENERAL said he could not consent to postpone proceeding with this bill until after the trial of the parties charged with corrupt practices at Beverley. The Crown was not to blame for the delay that had taken place, and, further, an offer had beem made to take the trial to London, but it had been declined. The trial now could not come on until the end of July, and to postpone the bill until then would be to endanger its passing during the present session. There was nothing that he could see in the charges made against the Bridg water Commissioners that would justify any postpone ment. CONVENTUAL AND MONASTIC INSTI TUTIONS. Mr. NEWDEGATE complained of persons outside the House having made use of certain expressions with regard to his conduct as to conventual and monastic institutions. He also condemned the course pursued by certain news papers, and particularly referred to a paragraph in a Dublin paper, which he said contained a compendium of libels. He was prepared to uphold the truthfulness of his statements in the House on the subject in question, save one, in which he stated that a young woman under 16 years of age had been induced to enter a convent, and he mentioned Hammersmith instead of Finchley. (Laughter. THE BRIGANDAGE IN GREECE. In reply to a hon. member, Mr. OTwAT—said that it was with deep regret that he had to state that information had been received that the English captives in the hands of the Greek brigands had been put to death. No effort had been spared to obtain their release, but the brigands being attacked by the Greek troops, killed their captives. Such was the infor mation which had been received at the Foreign Office. the Government were waiting with deep anxiety for de tails of the massacre. They had every reason to believe that Lord Muncaster was safe. 25 to 1 agst Blandferd (offered—take 100 to 3) 1000 to 30 agst Wild Flower (taken) 50 to 1 agst Good Hope (offered —take 1000 to 15) 100 to 9 agst W.

There were present : Colonel Lowther. Admiral Rous, Lord G. Manners (stewards) ; Mr. Alex ander, Colonel Astley, Mr. Barne, Mr. Batson, Count' Batthyany, Sir R. W. Bulkeley, Lord Calthorpe, Mr.i H. Chaplin, Lord Durham, Lord Falmouth, Sir J.' Hawley, Sir F. Johnstone, Captain D. Lane, Sir C. l Legard, Mr. Payne, Colonel Pearson, General Peel,f Baron N. Rothschild, Lord Royston, Duke of St. Albano,' Mr. Savile, Prince Soltykoff, and Lord Stamford.; Lord Calthorpe was appointed steward in place of Colonel' Lowther, who retired by rotation. Mr. Payne was ap-, pointed a member of the Bentinck Fund Committee, in' the place of the Duke of Richmond. General Peel, whose motion respecting the time of closing certain; stakes, stood first on the paper, postponed it till the Club had decided whether or not the committee moved for by, Sir J. Hawley should be granted, proposing to' refer his motion to the said committee, if granted. Sir J. Hawley then moved for the appointment of se' committee according to his notice, and after speaking at some length gave a list of eleven members he proposed toj constitute the committee. Lord Durham seconded the' motion. Admiral Rous moved the previous question. He;` objected to Sir Joseph Hawley's motion on the ground! that it charged the Jockey Club with encouraging gambling, and would oblige them to interfere with: matters relating to betting, which in his opinion was con trary to the rules of the Club. He intimated at the same time that at the next general meeting of the Club the stewards would themselves move for the appointment of a committee to consider the present state of the Turf. Mr. Alexander seconded Adimral Rous's motion. Mr. Chaplin supported Sir J. Hawley's motion. Lord Royston' opposed it, and after a discussion in which Sir J. Hawley Admiral Rous, General Peel, Sir R. Bulkeley, Lord • Royston, Mr. Chaplin, Lord G. Manners, and Lord Falmouth took part, and during wnich some members expressed their willingness to support Sir J. Hawley's' motion if he would withdraw from it everything • relating to betting, which he declined to do, the question was put, and a division took place as already noticed, nine being in favour of Sir Joseph . Hawley's motion, and seventeen against it. General Peel understanding that the Stewards intended to propose a committee, again postponed the motion of which he had . given notice. Admiral Rous then brought forward his motion for the alteration of Rule 40, but at the suggestion of several members, agreed to withdraw it for the present.' The meeting was then adjourned. Notice has been given that a general meeting of the Jockey', Club will be held at Newmarket after the races, on Wednesday in the First Spring Meeting.: The following notice of motion has been given by the Stewards :—That a committee be appointed to consider the present condition of the Turf. That the committee: do consist of eleven members, and have power to hold! Inee , •=oB s think fit. That the , Stewards shall,. after due notice, summon .. meeting of the Club to consider the report of said com mittee." Mr. William Day, the well-known trainer and breeder' of racehorses, writes to the Telegraph on this sub-' ject. He believes rac i ng t o be a healthy re• creation, and that it has no demoralising tendency. • He. strongly opposes the notion that early running of two- 1 year-olds has any effect in prematurely wearing out the' animal. " Compare such with our French neighbours, who are par excellence after ourselves. Their system is to run less frequently, an d t o commence l ater i n the year, , no two-year-olds are permitted to run befor the month of August. The result of the following illustration will'' clearly shew that their system is defective, and that' they had better imitate racing as it now is here thaiii that we should follow theirs. Count Lagrange , (as every one knows) is an honest and great . supporter of the Turf in both countries who could' not win a race of any note in England last year;? but in France he was nearly invincible. No one; surely needs further proof of the snperiority of our horses± over all others in the world. Equally opposed is Mr. Dayl to the abolition of play-or -pay betting. " Should it be abolished as suggested, you directly legislate for a class,' and not for the comm un it y . Th e ' Gnus Plunger,' who: destroys his own existence and spreads destruction widely around, I rejoice to say is defunct, I sincerely hope never to rise again. In moderation, however, let all enjoy the' venture of their own opinions who have funds to pay in the event of losing, without anticipating their incomes.' Most of my noble patrons and masters rarely bet upon'; horses not their own, and then only to a certain extent when they have good reasons for doing so ; and with , these precautions, I can honestly affirm, it has never been I attended with prejudicial effects, either on their finances or my own. This leads me to a part of the subject which', I believe has been hitherto unnoticed. Why not legalise all stakes and bets ? Surely, if the Stock Exchange 1 transactions are legal, racing ones ought to be so. It has frequently been decided that a friend can recover from a l friend, who has commissioned him to back a horse. This is surely like straining at a gnat and swallowing a cameL'l Honest men desire, and dishonest require, this legal; provision, or they will not fulfil their engagements,' to the great injustice o f th ose w h o do. Under the; ' proposed resolutions,' I would venture to call atten- i , tion to the following facts. H a d th e City and ? Suburban,' the Metropolitan Stakes,' and Cup' ofl last year been run for under the propo se d ru l es , th e fi e ld? would have consisted numerically as follows :—City and Suburban, 4 ; Metropolitan, 5 ; Cup, 2. (See Racing Calendar of 1860.) These, it must be remembered, Arai the great stakes of the Epsom Spring Meeting. Will notl this convince any unprejudiced mind of the utter annihi-i lation of all racing ? The result must inevitably be,l either legitimate fields very small, or illegitimate ones? prodigiously swollen with horses that are not likely tol take any prominent part in the race. Say what yogi please, this in self-defence must and will be extensively resorted to ; for let gentlemen be ever so rich and honestly; inclined, it is not in human nature to sit passively and be' overridden rough-shod by a forestalling public."
