This aristocratic gathering commenced to-day under most favourable auspices, the weather being extremely fine and the attendance numerous. Although the card contained but four items, the large fields rendered the sport amply interesting, the Prince of Wales's Steeplechase in particular partaking of the proportions and excellence of a " Grand National." The finish for this race and the Marie Hill Plate was productive of an immense amount of excite ment, and the talented jockeys who rode the winners have seldom displayed their skill more conspicuously.

Mr. Reeve's mare and Irish Kato refused the first time round on the far side, High Pressure fell at the post and rails the second time round, and Ace of Spades, after closing up with the leaders, died away to nothing a mile from home, and walked back to the Enclosure.

At the next fence Orontes, overjumping himself, came down, his fall baulk ing Osterley and Pretender, but Rickaby quickly re mounted and went on in pursuit. The race three-quarters of a mile from home was reduced to a match between the favourite and John Taff, the former winning easily by a length ; The Guide was a bad third ; Orontes fourth ; and Osterley fifth. Pretender pulled up on the far side. The winner was bought in for 66 guineas.

Tally Ho jumped off in advance of Prince, but the latter, after going fifty yards, took . a clear lead, followed by Tally Ho, Dispatch, Bon Espoir, Tiger, and Knave of Trumps, the last named running into second place on the far side, where the rear division comprised Pearl Diver, Pensioner, Alcibiade, and Tally Ho. Prince increased his lead down the hill, the others continually varying in their positions. Passing the Stand in the second time Prince began to give way, L. S. D. improving the pace, taking up the running as they rounded' the bond, Dispatch going, on second, Tiger, Marble Hill, Prince, and Garus following in a cluster. At the fence succeeding the post rails, Marble Hill fell, and with the exception of L. S. D., Dispatch, Bon Espoir, and Tiger, nothing else was left in the race. After getting upon heavy ground, Dispatch and L._ S. D. raced side by side, and when firmly in the straight for home, Mr. Studd's horse assumed the lead, and won cleverly by a short length. The French representative, Bon Espoir, was a bad third, Tiger 4th, Pearl Diver sth, Tally-ho 6th, Knave of Trumps and Gams next. Alcibiade walked in with the crowd. Darkness fell at the fence before the stand, the remainder being pulled up when pursuit was hopeless. Garus ran under protest, there being a dispute about the validity of his sale at Hereford in October last.

Harrington jumped off with the lead, taking the first flight of hurdles in advance of Maria Louise, Fortunatns, Tumult, Nuneaton, and Little Ellen, and in this order they passed the stand. At the turn Harrington overpowered his rider and bolted out of the course, but was soon again in the track of his horses. Tumult, however, took up the running, but refusing the next flight of hurdles For tunatus was left in command. In the heavy ground on the, far side Harrington was again on terms with his hOrses,sandlas they came up the straight he was again in front, F(irtimitus lying second and .Nupeatoti third, the others sloSe up. At the turn Harrington again bolted, and taking the steeplechase course cleared several of the fences' before he was pulled up. On the far side, the last time round, Tumult assumed the lead, but blundering on the heavy ground fell, leaving the favourite in frOnt, and although challenged by Nuneaton at the distance, Fortu tunatus, now pulling doable, won by two lengths. Little Ellen was a bad third, Maria Louise trotting in many lengths in rear. CONTRACT FOR PIG IRON. CONTRACT DEPARTMENT, ADMIRALTY, SOMERSET HOUSE, March 28, 1867.

Ile excellent bill of faro provided b;lVll.V7n;all at tracted a large company to Lowed. Downs; and, despite that the meeting clashed with the annual gathering in celebration of the sister spot at Cheltenham, the attendance was quite up to the average. The "strike" on the part of the engine-drivers and stokers on the Brighton and South Coast Railway having been compromised, and work re sumed on the last day of the Epsena Meeting, the autho rities decided to run a " special" to Lewes ; and when their intention became known a large body of turlltes availed themselves of the facilities thus afforded. The weather was beautiful in the extreme, and the brisk breeze, which it may be presumed invariably sweeps the undulating downs, was softly tempered by the sun's rays. Indeed, in the matter of the weather, Mr. Verrall and the officials of the Lewes Meeting bad every reason to be thankful, especially when the bitter experience of last week at War wick—where a very large body of turf mon were literally snowed out—is remembered. in addition to this gratify ing accessor y to the day's sport, the "going" was as near perfect as it could - possibly be. Owing to one important fixture clashing with this the first lay of the Lewes Spring reunion, there were fewer " gentlemen" present than would otherwise have "assisted" at the gathering. In fact, the only aristocratic sportsmen of note whom we ob served in the ring were one of the stewards, Sir Lydston Newman, Lord Westmoreland, and Mr. Thellusson. To this paucity in the attendance of the "upper ten" of the turf may be attributed the remarkable absence of specula tion on future events, which can only be fairly quoted as nil. Without. at all enumerating or commenting specially on the several events which comprised the afternoon's card, we may, while allowing that the fields might well have been more numerous, call attention to the superiority of the sport. It will be seen from the return which we append below that the racing was characterised by close finishing and first-class horsemanship : The Town Plate (Handicap) of 40 sovs ; winners after March 21 (at ten a.m.) 71b extra. 7 furlongs.

After a couple of breaks away a good start was effected, Blush Rose getting away in front, attended by /Annulus, with Florican on the whip hand, Lavern bring ing up the rear. Emerging from the dip Frogmore, next the rails, drew forward, Florican simultaneously heading, Blush Rose, who dropped back at the commencement of the enclosure, reducing the race to a match between the favourite and Frogmore, the former winning easily by half a length ; Blush Rose was a bad third : Mimulus fourth ; and Laverna trotted in last, having been in the rear through out. • The Welter Cup (Handicap), value 50 sous, by subscrip tion of 5 sous each, 2 ft (to the fund), with 30 added afttr linch 21 (at ton PAU) 71) extra; seutlo. The French Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Body held a sitting on Wednes day, Count;Walewski in the chair. The bill to give a guarantee to inventions susceptible of being patented, shown at the Universal Exhibition, was adopted :—• M. Rouher, Minister of StAte and of Finance, M. Baroche, Minister of Justice, and the other . Go vernment-Commissioners, were present. The order of the day was the adjourned discus sion on the bill proposing to abolish imprisonment for debt. M. Guillaume Petit objected to the conclusions come to by M. Josseau in favour of maintaining im prisonment for debt founded upon the result of the inquiry instituted, as all experience had proved that inquiries on economic questions very rarely s,rved the cause of progress. The numerous investigations which had taken place during the last half century would never have produced the slightest approach to free trade. And for that step the enlightened initiative of the Emperor was required. He (the speaker) had himself consulted magistrates, lawyers, and ministerial officers of all ranks, and found that their opinion was that in commercial matters imprisonment for debt was all but useless. It had been said that it was a guarantee in the case of the small trader, but let him want credit, and if he was a man of good ch:iracter .he would readily obtain it without that security. Even were it a guarantee, that circumstance was no argument for its retention, as the real question was whether the principle was sound or not. If imprisonment for debt was abolished, commercial vigilance would soon find means to obviate the dangers suggested. And as regarded foreigners, on the eve of the Exhibition, when everything possible was being done to entice them to Paris, they were encompassed with insulting precautions. (Exclamations.) Traders said that it was impossible to obtain references before selling to foreigners, but the banks and discount houses man aged to get all the security they required. He con sidered this as a relic of barbarism which could be abolished without danger. (Hear, hear.) M. Georg was of opinion that the fact of re taining imprisonment for debt in matters con nected with the State while abolishing it for debt was a sufficient argument for the rejection of the bill. The considerations advanced in its favour were all on the side. of the debtor, and the misfortunes caused to the creditor from unfulfilled engagements seemed to be lost sight of. If such imprisonment was abolished, the creditor would be at the mercy of the debtor, credit would receive a fatal blow, And prices should be raised to cover the risk. Last year when the situation of the agricul turists was under examination the suggestion was made to commercialise agriculture, and many bankers who were examined said that if they had the remedy of imprisonment for debt against the farmers they would treat with them as with traders. To the objections that this measure was too severe and rigorous, it might be answered that if it was necessary to obliterate from the laws everything that appeared too severe, a great part. of the penal code would have to be suppressed. The minimum amount for which arrest might take place could be modified, the practice softened, and abuses sup pressed if they were found to exist, but the prin ciple should be maintained as indispensable to public security. M. Schneider observed that the maintenance of . imprisonment for debt was demanded as a privilege for commerce, but he believed that the best protection was intelligence, labour, and honesty. (Hear, hear.) During his long experi ence in business, and in connection with the Bank of France, he could declare that he had never thought of it as a guarantee. lie admitted that its suppression might throw impediments in the way of certain transactions, but it would only be the unsound ones, and persons deserving credit would not be prejudiced. M. Baroche would just answer the question of M. Nogent St. Laurens. Why did not the Go vernment remain quiet, and leave the present state of things as it was? Because the State bad been called on by the Chamber, and by M. Josseau, the present reporter on the committee, to examine the question of imprisonment for debt and intro duce a bill. -- -- ----- M. Josseau—Yes, but in maintaining the principle. - M. Baroche was about to say, introduce a bill which, while maintaining the system, should mode rate its application. The Government had thought it preferable not to introduce a bill on imprison ment for debt, but one against it. (Hear,' hear.) Was the Government to be bound to always follow in the wake of those who represented public opinion more or less exactly. It had often adopted a quite different line of conduct, and he did not think the persons interested or the country had had reason to complain. (Hear, hear.) The committee had pie sented a report against the bill, but the minority was of four members to five. M. §peca—lt was threo to ax, M. Mege—No ; four to five. M. Baroche only repeated what he heard. The abolition of the system had been attempted in 1793 and 18 [8 ; but at each of those dates the mewure had been adopted under a revolutionary form, and had consequently been followed by a reaction due to the causes to which it oxed its origin. In 1793 trade was quite annihilated in consequence of poli tical events; in 1818 both public and private credit suffered greatly, and the coinmereial classes had to support a part of the consequences of that crisis. People were not always just under adversity. The evil was partly attributed to the abolition of impri sonment for debt, and its re-establishment was called for. A bill for so doing was brought in, and he had voted for it, with the majority of the National As sembly. But the two periods could not be compared; 'and what could not be accepted in 1848 appeared to him worthy of adoption in 1867. (Hear, hear.) He saw no inconsistency in such a change; and a public man who had no greater contradiction to re proach himself with than the one in question would be very innocent in the eyes of the Chamber and of the country. (Assent.) Personal liberty, not being engaged in commerce, could not be given as a pledge and placed on the same footing as houses, flocks, or furniture, which were guarantees, and which the creditor might dispose of to his own pro fit. Yet what was done in imprisonment for debt? The debtor was seized like a house or a beast of burden—(movement)--with the on!y difference that the one could be sold whilst the other could not. All that the creditor could do was to shut up the debtor within four walls. Political economy re quired the development of labour, which increased public wealth. But how could a man work in pri son? It had been said that imprisonment for debt was a means of credit, because it was a mode of coercion which forced the debtor to pay his liabilities. In his opinion, the only real means of intimidation contained in the law was by bankruptcy. It had however been said that individuals could not always be bankrupt when they wished. He thought it would be more correct to say : Individuals were made bankrupts when they did not wish it. (Laugh ter.) The simple cessation of payments constituted insolvency. If the debtor pays, the insolvency could not be pronounced ; but the sole fact of the cessa tion of payment was sufficient for the Tribunal of Commerce to declare it. M. Martel—lt is discretionary. M. 13aroche—No ! It is a duty. The Tribunal could not refrain from making the declaration. Since the period of detention had been diminished, the imprisonment had partly lost its terror. Ac cording to a return for the last five years, 2,272 persons remained in confinement during the entire term of their imprisonment. Thus, the fear of in carceration did not force them to pay their debts. Many might have preferred passing three months in prison rather than pay a sum of 499 fr. It had been said that the system should be maintained for fo reigners. That was, however, not the means to at tract them to Paris, as imprisonment for debt was very severe against foreigners. A sum of a few hundred francs due in an hotel was sufficient to enable the creditor to obtain an order for the incar ceration of the debtor. fhe best security for trades men was in the exercise of prudence in their affairs. The Government was disposed to abandon also the right of imprisonment for the costs of justice, although he might justify its maintenance in those cases by showing that the payment formed part of the sentence. The only case in which it was dis posed to retain the system was for unla*fully rais ing money on property already mortgaged, and those instances were very rare, only one having oc curred since 1855. (kpplause.) M: Fabre was of opinion that imprisonmmt for debt, in the terms in which it was at present' authorized, was legitimate in the majority of cases ; and that in the others all that was required was a slight modification of the law. The bill now before the Chamber violated a great principle of law—that the property of the debtor was the pledge of the creditor. (Cries of " Enough, enough. To-mor row, to-morrow.") The Chamber being consulted, decided that the discussion should be again adjourned. M. Gueroult—Several of my colleagues and my self, after the question which we asked concern ing the works in the garden of the Luxembourg, had made a demand for interpellations on the subject, and our application was to be examined to-morrow (Thursday) in the bureaux. The Mi nister of State having informed us the Government intended presenting, within a few weeks, a bill on which the subject would come forward, as a mat ter of course we considered it right to withdraw our demand. (Hear.) But we reserve to ourselves to make at that moment such observations as are suggested to us by the precipitation with which the works are carried on in the Luxembourg, and the tardiness manifested in presenting the bill. (Movement.) The President—ln consequence, the meeting of the members in the bureaux fixed for to-morrow will not take place. The proceedings then terminated. .... . 4d. STAMPED sd. Naval and Military Intelligence. The division at Aldershot had a field-day yester day, the first at which the newly converted arm, the Snider-Enfield, has been used. The troops formed up on a level sandy plain between the North Camp anal Aldershot station of the South-Eastern Railway in the following order :—Royal Horse Artillery on the right, cavalry brigade (three regiments) next, two field batteries Royal Artillery next in order, and the infantry (four regiments) in contiguous column on the left. Atli o'clock Lieut.-Gen. SirJ. Y. Scar lett and his Staff arrived, and were received with the usual compliments. The lino was then minutely in spected both front and rear, at the conclusion of which the regiments marched past the saluting base in the following order, the cavalry and artillery in open columns of squadrons at a walk, and the infan try in open columnsof grand divisionsin quick time: —Major-Gen. Ilodge, C. 8., and staff of the cavalry brigade ; A and B batteries C brigade Royal Horse Artillery, 3d (King's Own) Hussars, 17th Lancers, 15th (King's) Hussars, two field batteries Royal Ar tillery, pioneers, bands, and drums of Ist and 2d In fantry Brigades (amalgamated for the day), Major- Gen. Campbell, C. 8., and staff, one company Royal Engineers, Ist Battalion 18th Royal Irish, 56th (West Essex), 65th (2d North Riding), and 44th (East Essex) Regiments, B troop of Royal Engi neer Train, and four troops of Military Train. The artillery and cavalry next passed the saluting point at a trot, and the infantry from the reverse flank in quarter-distance column. The cavalry then went past at a gallop, and the infantry in line of con tiguous columns by brigades. The march past being conclutled the batteries of artillery and cavalry were sent back to quarters, and the infantry remained for the purpose of practising by brigades and indepen dently with the Snider-Enfield rifle. The 18th and 56th Regiments had ammunition served out to the extent of 10 rounds per man,,and the remaining re giments formed a reserve. File and volley firing were executed both on the move and at the halt, and three minutes and a few seconds sufficed for six rounds to be fired, no two men being unloaded to gether. Two or three volleys were fired, the men loaded as they advrnced, and, with one or two straggling shots, very effectively given. A few manoeuvres were subsequently gone through, wheel ing on the centre, advancing, retiring, changing front, and forming squar e s, Sze. The troops,;Te turned to quarters about 1 o'clock. F Battery, 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, under command of Lieut.-Col. Lukin, leaves the camp at Aldershott this morning for Liverpool, en route for Cork. Yesterday a detachment of 40 non-aommissioned officers and men belonging to the 2d Battalion of the filth Regiment left Chatham garrifion for ButteYant, Ireland, to be attached to the Ist Battalion of the 14th Regiment, the service companies of which, sta tioned at the Curragh, are below their proper strength.
