MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no alteration of importance to record in the general state of the money market. Since the payments due on the 3d and 4th business in commercial bills has become quieter than ever, not withstanding agricultural expenditure and the usual drawing of notes and coin for home and continental travel. No demand whatever at present seems to be " looming in the distance " calculated to produce an effect subversive of the existing monetary situation. On the 10th inst. large Indian engagements will mature, and on the 17th Austra lian commitments of some magnitude will have to be provided for ; but so abundant are the supplies of floating capital that anything like a reactionary tendency in the terms for loans and discounts is altogether improbable. All who can conveniently leave town are going away from business, which just now is contracted, and productive of little profit. The Russian loan is unpopular, and even although a portion of the amount sought for in this market may be scraped together, the agents here and on the Continent taking a considerable share, the want of confidence and the reluctance evinced to render financial aid to a Government which has always paid its foreign creditor, other needy States, and there are several in the market, will surely not be stupid enough to make an appeal to the investing public of Great Britain. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England yesterday. Tho silver market is un changed. The directors of John Crossley and Sons, Li mited, have just declared an interim dividend of 15s. per share for the first half-year, being equal to 15 per cent. per annum. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 26 28; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 22 23. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last day or two there has been a very moderate amount of business entered into. Sugars, however, have generally maintained former rates. Superior qualities of colonial coffee have sold readily at full values, while a good demand has continued for floating cargoes of rice, at slightly enhanced prices. In tallow there has been no material change, but business generally has re mained quiet, at about previous quotations for pre sent and forward delivery. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 20c. Rather firm. The wet weather, the firmness of the corn market yesterday, the limited attendance, and the indispo sition generally evinced to speculate or invest, render all the Stock Exchange markets extremely dull and to a certain degree depressed. Neverthe less, the prevailing opinion is that values will in crease in value, because there is nothing except new phases of continental politics to delay the return of confidence and of general prosperity. Even if there should prove to be a deficient harvest, the price of bread is likely to be kept at an average in consequence of advices from the neighbourhood of the Black Sea, America, and Australia, telling us that large shipments of grain—breadstuffs of all kinds—are being arranged for Europe, owing to superabundant crops. Home politics are favourable as evidenced by the fiasco performance of the League last evening, the subsidence of strikes, and the success of the Reform Bill. The funds, there fore, although dull, and a little heavy, owing to the inertness of business, are substantially firm, and the same may be said of all other well approved securities. Consols are now 94f for money, and the impending settlement, and 94; 1 for the September account. Tho New Threes are 931 f 4 ; Reduced Annui , ties, 94 3f ; India Stock, 222 ; ditto 5 'yer Cents., 112 f ; ditto 4 per Cents., 1021 ; Ciitto £l,OOO Bonds, 704. pm. ; and ditto Bonds under £l,OOO, 655. pm. No animation has been apparent in the Foreign Market, but Italian, Spanish Passive, the Certifi cates, and Greek Bonds have advanced, and Mexican have remained very firm. Italian are 48 i ; Spanish Passive, 204 21; ditto Certificates, 16 4 ; Mexican, 15} 1 ; Greek, 13 1 ; Turkish Fives, 301 ; and Chilian, 21 2 dis. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been on a very moderate scale ; in a few in stances, however, slightly enhanced rates have been established. Great Western, North Western, and Metropolitan, have each improved i; Midland and North Eastern (Berwick), 1 ; and Great Northern A Stock, 2; while Lancashire and Yorkshire have declined I ; and South Eastern, 1. The Foreiqn and Colonial lines show little c hange of importance. Dutch Rhenish are marked 2 ,4) Great Luxemburg 101, Grand Trunk of Canada 16 East Indian 108} j, and Punjaub 991. American Securities have in some instances shown re firmness, Erie shares having receded 1 to 431 ; United States 5-20 Bonds remain steady at 7 !i 7 31 ; an d Illinois shares have improved 1, to u 7 7 ; Atlantic and Great Western C onso lid a t e d xt -Aortgage Bonds are quoted at 22i.

This was a petition on the part of John Catnpbell, of Fort William, to the succession to the earldom of Brealalbane and other subaltern titles. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., in opening the case, stated that the Earldom of Breadalbane had been con ferred upon a John Campbell, and the patent stated that it should descend first to the heirs male of his body, and then to their heirs, but failing such issue, to go to the nearest male heir. The learned counsel was going into the full descent of the claiMant when he was interrupted by the Chairman of Committees, who said that he thought that the case in its present stage was to be gone into de bene esse. The pedigree would stand over. Mr. Anderson said that if their lordships thought so he would proceed to call his witnesses. Mr. Campbell, the claimant, a vcnerablc and infirm old gentleman, examined by Mr. Prentice, said that his name was John Campbell, that he was 82 years of age. His father's name was "William and his mother's Sarah. Her maiden name was M'Donald. His father had been dead about forty years. His mother about twelve. He had brothers and sisters. He was the eldest son. Duncan was the next to him. His father was a farmer and had two farms, Culross and Kenlock. He had never ; seen his grandfather, but his name was Duncan. He had four uncles, John, Duncan, Alexander, and Donald. Duncan was the son of Patrick. The witness was then examined as to the genealogy of his family as far as he knew it. Some further evidence having been adduced the case was adjourned. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Lord Justice Cairns.) EX PARTE WILKINSON.-THE LONDON AND SCOTTISH BANK..-JUDGMENT. His Lordship, in delivering judgment in this case to-day, said this was an application from an order made by the Master of the Rolls. The object of the appellant, Mr. Wilkinson, was to have his name removed from the list of contributions. to the com pany, on the ground that he had b'ee►u induced to take shares in the company, on the IZ'th of October, 1866, by the misrepresentation of 'the secretary of the company. These misrepresentrAtions consisted in a statement alleged to have been made by Moore to the effect that two-thirds of the shares of £56 each had been subserib , A, and that the bank had already commenced, and that it was in a pros perous condition. On the faith of this statement he signed the articles of association, but he alleged that subsequently there were alterations in the title of the bank, which was originally made the Royal London and Scottish Bank., and in the articles of association. His lordship mid that the onus p? obandi rested on Mr. Wilkinson, and went through the evidence pro and con, which was very conflicting. It must be remembered. that in the alterations made in the articles of association Mr. Moore had no per sonal interest. He tho'aght all the probabilities and evidence were against 111 r. ;Wilkinson. He entirely coincided in the decision of the Master of the Rolls: The appeal was accordingly dismissed. COUR.T OF PROBATE. SMITH V. TIBBET. -GREAT WILL CASE.-JUDGMENT. This was a suit instituted by the plaintiff, Dr. Samuel Smith, to prove the validity of a will exe cuted by a l•,dy named Thwaites, who died at Worthing about 11 months ago, by which, after leaving larr 3 e legacies, she made him her residuary legatee. ',Cho instrument was disputed by Mrs. Tibbet, i:he sister of the deceased, on the ground that the latter was not of sound mind and disposin g capacity, and that she was under the undue influence of the plaintiff, her medical adviser, and who re sid•; in the same house with her for the last six y ears preceding her decease. The property in question amounts to £500,000, which, with the extraordinary nature of the case, attracted a crowd of persons of both sexes to the court this morning. His Lordship, in delivering judgment to-day, cited passages from Dr. Pritchard's celebrated work on insanity, and the delusions under which the de ceased laboured according to the evidence against the will, which included a belief that she was the Holy Ghost, and that she had a spiritual conversa tion with Dr. Smith ; said that, independent of these circumstances, there were facts in connection with the conduct of the deceased that were inconsistent with the assumption of her sanity. In the first place, she had estranged herself from her relations in a most unaccountable manner, and, considering her wealth, she lived in a parsimonious style, spending only about £2,000 a year, although it appeared that she gate a large amount in charity annually. The memoranda of domestic affairs were isolated, and threw no light on her state of mind. Certainly some of these documents ware destroyed, or perhaps the result might have been different. Her conduct throughout was most strange, and after a most careful consideration of the case, he could come to no other conclusion than that the testatrix was not of sound mind, and he must therefore pronounce against the will, but he would make no order with regard to costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY IN AN 03INIBITS.—A man, who when first charged refused his name and address, but subsequently gave them as William Harrison, No. 29, Queen-street, Brompton, was charged before Mr. Arnold with stealing from the pocket of Mrs. Rugg, of No. 11, Grove-terrace, St. John's-wood, a purse containing 2} sovereigns. Mrs. Christiana Rugg, wife of a surgeon, said that on yesterday afternoon she was in an omnibus in Park-lane. The prisoner sat next to her, and got out in Park-lane, and directly he got out the omnibus conductor spoke to her, and on putting her hand into her pocket she found that the purse had been taken out of her pocket, and two sovereigns and half a sovereign taken out, and the purse replaced. The conductor and Captain Richardson went after the prisoner, and ho was taken into custody. In answer to Mr. Arnold, the prosecutrix said the money was safe in her purse when she got into the omnibus. She did not observe whether or not the prisoner was in the omnibus when she went in. Martin, 626 A, Raid that, on taking the prisoner into custody, ho found 21 soverigns in his hand, and some other money in his pocket, also a gold eyeglass, a ticket and a knife. While the prisoner was in the dock he said, " I have done it." The prisoner, who is above 50 years of age, and rather bald-headed, was remanded, he declining to say anything. VIOLENT ASSAULT.-11. Al!sop, a man of colour, was charged with assaulting Mr. Godfrey. Tho complainant was sitting in Hyde-park last night in company of a lady when the prisoner came up and asked him to purchase a tract ; on the complainant declining, the prisoner used bad language, struck th• complainant a violent blow, and then made off. Police-constable John Wilding, 622 A, said that ho saw the prisoner under a tree, and while the prisoner was offering him a tract the complainant came up and gave him in charge for assaulting him. He know the prisoner to be a dangerous man, and he was •nce before charged at that court with an assault, and committed for two months with hard labour. Poole, the assistant gaoler, said that tho former charge was similar to the present one. Mr. Arnold committed the prisoner, who merely said ho was sorry, for two months, with hard labour. As the prisoner was baying tho dock he said, " I've a wife and two children, do not, for the love of mercy, send me to prison." THAMES. Mr. Ralph Benson, barrister, of the Oxford Circuit, who has been appointed a magistrate of this court in the place of Mr. Partridge, who goes to the Southwark court, was on the bench this day with Mr. Paget, the presiding ma_ gistrate. Mr. Benson will commence his official labours in this court on Friday next. DEAF, DUMB, AND DINGEROUS.--Adam Brydon, a man about 35 years of age, whiskerless, and with a ruddy com plexion, was charged with being drunk and furiously driving a horse and cart. A policeman said the prisoner was deaf and dumb. Mr. Paget—ls there any ono to interpret or make signs to him ? Witness—No one, sir. Police-sergeant Harris, 654 A, stated that Inspector Ilol loway, of the H division, procured an interpreter, who knew the deaf and dumb alphabet, and all that could be ob tained from the prisoner was Adam Brydon. • He saw the prisoner drive very furiously from Whitechapel High street into Leman-street, after ho had run into a van filled with police constables, returning from Hyde-park. The policeman, 40 H, said the prisoner was driving a horse and cart along the High-street, Whitechapel, last Light at a furious and reckless pace, and a mounted police constable rode after him and stopped him, The prisoner was charged with assaulting a man and httaiing fling) THE SUN, LONVON, TUESDAY EVENING, AtIOUST 6 1867 sovereigns from him, and nothing could bo made of him, nor could ho understand anything until he was discharged, when he appeared to understand the person who made signs to Lim. The prisoner had been convicted of burglary, and sentenced to 3 years' penal servitude. Mr. Paget—Surely some person can be found who can make him understand the charge against him and the evidence. Tho police constable, 40 11, said a policeman mimed Cox .of the K division, and attached to the Bethnal-green ,Station, was the interpreter on the last occasion. Mr. Paget— Can the prisoner write? The Magistrate made signs to the prisoner, and directed ho should he supplied with writing materials. The prig oner shook h=s head vehemently. Mr. Pa.: ;et remanded the prisoner, and directed that Cox :hotild tti tend the next examination. where, and the safety-valve of the constitution would have to be closed altogether, as is suggested by that admirable Liberal and patriot Mr. Neate, whom the men of Oxford honour themselves by sending to Parliament. Lastly, it is alleged that if you meet here to talk politics others will come here to talk or preach religion. Well, why should they not ? (Hear.) But there remains behind all this the real but unavowed reason for this obnoxious bill, namely, the desire of the fashionable world to have this park reserved for their own especial place 'of recreation. (Hear.) Well, it is a disagreeable specimen of class selfishness ; however, we have no de,ire to intrude unnecessarily or vexatiously upon those who dislike our presence ; we have no wish to meet hero except upon rare and particular occa sions, when a full and free expression of public ' opinion is more than usually necessary ; but we positively declare our right not to be excluded alto gether from meeting in this park at the arbitrary will of any class or any Government whatsoever, and without any other sufficiently convenient spot in this locality being substituted for this ; and we caution all concerned that there may be danger in attempting to legalise or enforce any such unlawful and unconstitutional exclusion. We are met here now in vindication of a right—a right which I have repeatedly and:openly insisted upon in your behalf, leaving the Government to disprove it if they can. We are met here because there is no other so convenient or central a place for our assembling to gether to give utterance to our feelings and opi nions at an important political crisis. We are met here not only to protest against this Parks Bill, but also to thank the Government for having assisted to pass through the House of Commons a very dif ferent bill, that for the amendment of the represen tation, the Reform Bill of 1867 ; and to urge upon the Government and all true reformers in the Com mons to reject the attempt made in the House of Lords to deprive that bill of all its usefulness and efficacy, especially as regards you, the working classes, by raising the qualification for the lodger franchise from £lO to £l5, by limiting the number of votes to be given in what are called the three cornered constituencies, or where there are three or more members for any county or borough ; and by the introduction of voting papers, which is only in fact a contrivance for facilitating the exercise of undue influence by landlords and employers, and rendering bribery and corruption more easy. If we are to have any change in the mode of voting, the ballot must be that change and no other. (Cheers.) The following were the resolutions :—" That this meeting, whilst it cordially congratulates the Governmentupon having assisted in passing through the House of Commons a large and generous mea sure for the amendment of the representation, deeply regrets that it should have accompanied that measure by a bill so invasive of the law and consti tution, and so hostile to the right s o f th e p eop l e as the Parks Regulation Bill, or Parks Prohibition Bill; and vehemently and indignantly protests against such a bill being made law, and declares its determination to resist that bill to the utmost." " That tkis meeting earnestly entreats the Govern ment and all Liberal members of the House of Com mons to reject the so-calltd amendment introduced by the House of Lords into the Reform Bill raising the qualification for the lodger franchise from £lO to £l5, which would render the bill a mere mockery as regards the working class voters in the metropo litan districts and elsewhere ; and also to reject the so-called amendment introduced by the House of Lords enabling votes to be recorded by means of voting papers, as a measure calculated to promote the exercise of undue influence and corruption, and to substitute for the same the taking of votes by ballot." " That this meeting wholly condemns and protests against the novel, un-English, and unconstitutional principle introduced by the House of Lords into the Reform Bill by limiting the number of votes to which a voter is entitled in constituencies returning three or more members to Parliament, thereby completely destroy ing the object for which additional members have been granted to such constituencies, enabling the minority to neutralise, or, it may be, even gain an advantage over the majority, and deliberately vio lating the ancient constitutional principle of Par liament being composed of persons representing, or supposed to represent, the opinions and wishes of the majority of their several communities or constitu encies." After all the resolutions and votes of thanks to passed, the bands played Boys," and the people the p"aititsaeldlyo chairmen tritmoifn dt h i a ite d h ep a li rA c ke e a: u it e i , which not more than a few hundreds were left by nine o'clock. The de parture was as orderly as the entering, and at a little past ten the additional police were sent to their own localities. The members of the League who had come from Lambeth passel round by the house of Mr. Gladstone, which they saluted with hearty cheers, and also again halted outside the House of Lords, where they gave vent to their groans. The other branches returned quietly to their own quar ters, and the streets presented their usual aspect, there being no unusual throng in the principal thoroughfares. NOTES FROM TRAINING QUARTERS. RICHMOND. On Sunday Elliott was out at five o'clock gallop ing the Berezina filly and Gleaner, after which they left by the first train for Ripon. Tom Lund sent Roderick Random and Popgun a goof gallop of a mile; the rest only cantered. Our hors , 2s that go to Ripon leave in the morning (Monday). Blair gowrie, Orange Blossom, and Elvire, I understand, will be there. This teo are well, and IVatson fancies the former is certain to win the Welter Cup. Popgun will go from Lund's. Skirmisher filly and Blairgowrie will go to Paisley this week; both are very fit to run. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. WESTMINSTER. DAB ING ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—TITO men, well knows. to the poPe', ono of whom is a convicted thief, givi - ig their names Richard Conden and James Ryan, were charged with being concerned with three or four others in tlic following daring robbery : J Imes Besley, a cabman, sztid that at 2 o'clock this mo .wing he was passing through a passage iu St. Anne str iot, Westminster, when the prisoner Conden and four or fivo other men rushed upon him, knocked him down, eat him, and took from his pocket a purse containing .E 1 10s. After robbing him the whole party ran away, and ho followed until ho overtook Condon after going a co'lsiderable distance. Police -constable Baker, 114 B, said ho heard a cry, and immediately afterwards some men who were running were pointed out by prosecutor, who came up and complained of ill treatment and robbery. Witness followed and suc ceeded in capturing Condon, who denied all knowledge of the robbery. J. Richards, 72 B, said that immediately after the robbery he saw Ryan running from the direction in question. lie called to him to stop, but lie would nos. Witness secured him, when ho offered him a shilling to lot him ago. Some time before this ho had seen the two prisoners together. William Burnett, 285 A, said that he saw Condon in Great Peter-street, at llarlack's last night. It was proved that when Condon was apprehended ho said he had just come from Lambeth, where ho had been spending the evening. Ryan said ho was at the Trevor Music-hall, Knights bridge, at the time he was said to have been seen iu Peter street. Mr. Selfe remarked that the men had both given their address at the same place. Prisoners wero remanded. THE DEMONSTRATION IN HYDE-PARK. The council of the Reform League having deter mined to organise a demonstration in Hyde-park, especially directed against the Royal Parks Bill, called upon the working men of London to assemble in their thousands at seven o'clock last evening. At half-past six nothing unusual was apparent at Hyde park-corner, and at the Marble-arch no large crowds had collected ; the only thing observable at that hour was that some few hundreds had collected in the vicinity of the trees, not far from the barracks, and that under a clump of trees between that and the Albert-gate a couple of gaming tables were set out, and doing a small business. Vendors of fruit and lemonade and sherbet moved about, and one or two enterprising individuals had established the popular game of " knock 'em down," but business seemed very slack indeed. In the barracks were a large force of police, and the Grenadier Guards were also in readiness in case they should be called on. Among the traders were several sellers of ballads, some of whom established themselves in a ring, and sang in chorus a song about keeping the people out of Hyde-park, ending the verse with "We will have our rights in England. Here they are, a halfpenny a piece." Some others started the Reform League songs, and kept up singing till Mr. Beales came up to platform No. 1. At 7 p.m. pre cisely Mr. Beales took his place, and commenced speaking, and at that time there were not very many present; but about 20 minutes later the Clerkenwell, the Fitzroy, the John Bright, and other northern branches of the League, with their banners and bands, entered the park by the Marble-arch, and at the same time the South London, Shoreditch, Poplar, and Pimlico branches came in by way of Hyde-park-corner, making also a goodly show of banners and marching in tolerably close array. These two accessions to the assemblage raised the numbers to what must have been a high rigure. They might be estimated at above 10,000. The Lambeth contingent marched from the obeli.k and halted at the boarded avenue to the House of Commons, where the band played " God save the Queen." They then swept round Palace-yard, and in front of the House of Lords, where they loudly groaned; in Pall-mall, where they responded to the welcome of the Reform Club with lusty shouts, and evinced their disapprobation to the members of the• Carlton. In the park there were no doubt a certain number of roughs, and a little business was done in the way of transferring property dexterously, but on the whole good order was observed. Notices had been posted on some of the trees, which were as follows: —" Working men of London,—Preserve peace and order at the meeting in Hyde Park on the sth of August." It had been arranged that 10 separate platforms should be spoken from, the chairmen being as follows :—No. 1. Mr. Edmond Beaks, president of the League ; 2. Mr. J. Baxter Lang ley ; 3. Dr. P. W. Perfitt ; 4. Mr. George Mantle ; 5. Mr. B. Lucraft ; 6. Mr. W. R. Cremer ; 7. Mr. George Odger ; 8. Mr. R. A. Cooper ; 9. Mr. William Dell ; 10. Mr. J. Weston. An 11th plat form was improvised, at which Mr. Bannister pre sided. At No. 1 platform, Mr. EDMOND BEALES, who was received with loud cheers, said—My friends, we arc met here to-day in vindication of a right of which the Government is seeking to deprive you most arbitrarily, most vexatiously, and most un reasonably. (Cheers.) By the Parks Regulation as it is called, but which may b e more f i tly en titled the the Parks Prohibition Bill, it is proposed to enact that no meeting shall be henceforth held in this or any other park for the purpose of any political or religious demonstration, or for any political, religious, or public discussion ; and any person taking part in any meeting held in contra vention of this enactment is to be guilty of a mis demeanour, liable to a penalty not exceeding £lO, on summary conviction by Mr. Knox or any other police magistrate, or to be committed for trial for the misdemeanour. (Shame.) It is difficult to conceive anything more arbitrary, more un precedented—for this is the creation of an entirely new offence--more unconstitutional, or more repugnant to the feelings of every Englishmen not dead to all true independence of character, and all sense of real political and religious liberty. (Cheers.) This park has been for centuries dedicated, more or less, to the use of the public, cannot be sold or otherwise disposed of or diverted from such use, is under the management of officers appointed by Parliament as representing the people, is maintained at your (the public) expense. Where is the right to exclude you from meeting on this, your own property, as it were, for political discus sion, as well as for the thousand other purposes for which you may now freely meet in it ? One of the very Ministers who are seeking to force this bill through an expiring and unreformed Parliament, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, admits the right of public meeting to be the safety-valve of the Con stitution. (Cheers.) Why then seek to close up that safety-valve in the quarter in which it can be brought into operation most conveniently and most effectively, and without an attempt to substitute for this locality any other equally central and conve nient ? Ono of these precious reasons or excuses is, that there is danger of your being disorderly your selves or allowing disorderly or riotous persons in your train, so that there will be risk of the tasteful and ornamental flowers and shrubs being trampled upon or injured. Seeing that you were here in tens of thousands last May without the leaf of a flower being damaged or the twig of a shrub injured, and that the same order and care will distinguish, I trust, your meeting this evening, and that the meet ing hero last July would have been equally well and peaceably conducted if the gates had not been ille gally and insultingly closed against you, this may be dismissed as a somewhat insolent and certainly a very idle calumny. (Cheers.) But then it is alleged that you disturb the traffic or alarm the neigh bourhood by your processions through the streets, and meeting in such large numbers. Well, sup posing there were any truth or force in this ex cuse, it would not apply to this park alone, but would be an argument against your meeting any- ILS LEY. On Saturday Dover's lot were on the llodcut side. Lord Lyon had two canters of a mile by him self. Gardevisure led Carlowrie, Sweet Kate, Malay, and Rouge Rose two sharp canters of half a mile. Bandmaster walked. Achievement was sent a canter of three quarters of a mile, and a nice gallop of a mile and a half. I never saw her going or looking better. T. S. Dawson did just about the same amount of work with his lot, with the exception of Merry Monarch, who wont out in the afternoon, and did some steady work. MIDDLEITAXE. On Sunday morning Fobert's and Osborne's merely walked.

Liddington led Cawdor and Sunbeam colt a steady gallop for nearly a mile. The latter is a nice looking colt, but in my opinion will never make a Derby horse. The rest of the team did a couple of hours' walking exercise. NEWMARKET. Several horses left for Brighton yesterday (Mon day) morning; they included Trocadero, Trouble some, Knight Errant, Speculum, Leouie, and Dales man. The last-mentioned has been doing a nice amount of work, and goes and looks particularly well just now. The following work took place with the horses left behind :—llermit cantered twice, and then went a smart gallop the same distance as on the two previous days, going very well indeed. Rama and Bliukhoolie, led by Target, also went a long gallop. DfdT,TON. On Sunday the various teams were all out at exercise on the wolds, although the business doing was more quiet than on the preceding day. West wick, Taraban, and Klarinska have arrived home from Goodwood. There is nothing going from here to Brighton, but Ripon will be well represented. The following are fit to run, and were under orders to leave by early train on Monday : Gelding by Fandango out of Bab at the Bowster, filly by Mm jid out of Kilkenny's dam, War, Policy, Thankful, Lady Zetland, Amendment, Camillo, Bright Vision, Mother Neasham, Blacklock, and Valentine. All others engaged at this mooting from here will be absentees. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Bri tol Port Railway and Pier (Amendments) Bill was read a third time. TILE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. 'On the motion for the third rending of this bill, Lord RAVENS 'VORTII said that though it might ap pear to their lordships right and proper to alter the deci sion which had been come to by the house on the ques tion of the lodger franchise, still he must protest against any such alteration. He considered that the lodger franchise had nothing to do with the material elements of the bill, and ultimately he wa3 afraid that it would be found that the introdsction of it would be accompanied with a great deal of harm. lie thoroughly ccucurred with the noble earl (Shaftesbury) who sat on the lower benches, and who knew better than any ono what was the condi tion of the working classes. Ho could safely affirm that the men to whom the franchise was now offered were not their own masters, and that they would in any contested election take advantage of the power which had been given them. In the face of the tremendous revelations which the inquiry as to Trades' Unions had just made public, he could hardly conceive how such a suggestion as a lodger franchise could be received by either House of Parliament. The noble lord then stated that he considered it most unfair that the University of London should have a member ap portioned to it, and that the University of Durham should have none. That university was every day increasing in its scope of usefulness, and had oven now a medical school attached to it. He would trouble their lordships on one more point only, and that was the clause as to minorities, or the three cornered franchise, as it was called. Cf this clause ho fully approved, for it would nullify the effect of the franchise which they were about now to give. But he would say something about the members for the county of Durham. That county no* returned ton members to Parliament, eight of whom were Liberals, but it was proposed to give them three new members, this would give rise to a great pre ponderance on the part of one party, and would require the fullest system of minorities to provide an equality. With these remarks he would leave the matter in their lodships' hands. Lord REDESDALE said that if this question of Reform was not now finally settled it might at any time give rise "to a discussion as the means of accomplishing some poli tical purpose. In this matter he entirely advocated the finality principle, and trusted that, although the bill had been termed too liberal, it would not on any subsequent occasion be made a party principle. It was a most im portant question, and ought to be settled definitely. Earl FORTESCUE said that he could not understand any redistribution of seats until the franchise was extended to every householder in counties as well as towns. Until this was done there would be no fair distribution of the franchise. Lord LYVEDEN said that he was surprised to bear the sentiments of the noble lord (Redesdalo) with regard to the leaders of the opposition party of the house. (LEFT SPEARING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAT. The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. THE ALABAMA. Mr. REARDON asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the promised correspondence between her Majesty's Government and the Government of the United States relating to the Confederate steamship Alabama would be laid upon the table of that house before the close of the session ? Lord STANLEY said it was his intention to lay the papers on the table before the close of the session. CANNING'S STATUE. Mr. BERESFORD-HOPE asked the First Commis sioner of Works if it was intended to move the statue of Canning from its present site, and to reinstate it in its former position. Lord J. MANNERS said the present position of Mr. Canning's statue had been selected by the late Govern ment, and he, on coming into office, had seen nothing that led him to dissent from the arrangement. A strong feel ing, however, had sprung up amongst the relatives and admirers of Mr. Canning against the position it at present occupied, and, in consequence of that, and the discussion that had taken place in the other house, the propriety of changing the site had been again taken into consideration. Nothing definite had yet been arrived at, but in the event of its being thought neces sary to remove the statue, it would be placed in the centre of Parliament-square. Ho was informed that whatever was done some parties would suffer disappointment. MAILS TO AMERICA: Mr. GRAVES asked the Secretary to the Treasury if it was intended to confine the tenders for conveyance of her Majesty's mails from the United Kingdom to New York to ships sailing under the British flag ; and if not, whether vessels tendering under a foreign flag would be subject to the surveys and conditions imposed on British ships car rying her Majesty's mails. Mr. AUNT said no description of flag bad been laid down in the tenders, but the Postmaster-General would, all other things being equal, give the preference to British ships. Any vessels chosen would bo subject to the con ditions required in Ilritish vessels. EXTRADITION TREATIES. On the motion for owing into committee on the Ei-pir ing Laws Continuance B:11, Dir. APO. TORRENS called the attention of the•house to the anomalous and unsatisfactory state of our treaties of extradition with Foreign Powers, with a view to the establishment of a permanent and uniform system of law for the surrender of fugitives accused of unpolitical crime. Tho hon. gentleman referred to the case of Lninirande, which occurred in Canada, and that of Dubois, which occurred in Loudon, the latter of whom was taken before Mr. Vaughan, at Bow-street, in order that he might bo given up to the authorities in France, who claimed him, on a charge of forgery, under the Extradition Treaty. Ho contended that the law was in a very unsatisfactory state, because no man ought to be delivered up after his arrival in England, unless it was clearly proved that the offence with which he was charged was embraced in the provisions of the treaty in question. Hs hoped the whole matter would be taken into con sideration by the Government during the recess, and also that in place of the wretched, little, limping law which went halting after the convention of a foreign power, a law would be proposed which would settle for all governments of the world what it was fitting for Eng land to do with those who clung to her knees for justice. (Hoar, hear.) Ho was sure it was possible to'fix a time in which an appeal might be heard against the decision to send any person out of England at the demand of a foreign power, and he thought two months was not an unreasonable period, and in the event of the wholequestion being raised then the Court of Queen's B enc h m i g ht b e empowered to try the bona fides of the charge with a mixed jury-- (hear, hear)—before a man was given up to a foreign power, he having once received an asylum in England. He was quite content to leave the question in the bands of the Government, having every confidence in the not le lord now at the head of foreign affairs, but ho hoped that next session they would pass a law having a backbone of right in it—such an act as would secure for England the regard of the whole world. Mr. LAYARD was of opinion that the present position of matters was highly objectionable. He felt there ought to be no bargaining on such a matter as giving up a person on the demand of a foreign Government. He thought the proper course for this country to adopt was to lay down a certain principle upon which persons charged with certain offences should be given up without certain terms being conceded. lie had long been of opinion that the proper way to deal with the matter was for a committee to be selected from both sides of the house, and composed of gentlemen of the highest diplomatic ability. That committee could enquire into the whole question; they could decide for what crimes persons charged by a foreign Government• should be given up, and then Government might enter into negotiations with the whole world. Extradition treaties might be granted on the terms settled by the committee, and no otters—(hear)—there need be no further negotia tions—no further appeals to Parliament. lie thought, un der these circumstances, the bill could be reserved for one year on the understanding that an opportunity should bo given, next session of discussing the whole question. Mr. NEATE thought the speech of the hon. member for Finsbury was ill-timed and most objectionable. Unless England gave facilities for the extradition of accused foreigners all diplomatic connections between England and the civilised countries of the world would be broken off. Sir F. GOLDSMID hoped the bill would not be for a longer period than one year, and that the position of por sons in England who had been engaged in civil conflict with governments abroad should bo clearly settled and defined. Mr. WATKIN said Lamirando richly deserved the utmost punishment. No ono sympathised with him. It was to be hoped that such persons committing the crime he had done should not find a safe asylum in England. He was cashier to a bank in France he forged on, and robbed the bank to an alarming extent, and then fled to America, and eventually to Canada, where he was arrested and sent back to France. He was arrested in Lower Canada, where the law was almost in accordance with that of France. Lamirande deserved the utmost rnish ment, but the point raised in his behalf was that his cap ture was effected by illegal means. Mr. MILL thought the law altogether unsatisfactory, and hoped that the Government next session would intro duce a measure founded on the broadest possible ground. Lord STANLEY said it never was his intention to ask for a renewal of the bill for more than ono year. He thought some misapprehension existed tis to what he had stated last year, as on that occasion ho said the state of the law was far from satisfao ory, and that if a committee of inquiry into the whole matter was moved for ho should not oppose it. Lamirando's case however which had been referred to so generally during the present discussion had no more to do with the bill now under consideration than it had to do with the Reform Bill. (Laughter.) He fr eel y admitted that the matter was in a very unsatisfactory state, but the error had been committed by our own authorities, anted any bill that was proposed, he thought it oug.hto be clearly laid down that the person given upshonlud D') as sot tried for the offence for which ho was given the The turn down in the extradition treaty. discussion had taken had not . et b t e h en e against the present bill, but p d t n re e c i p t /d e of extradition as it had existed foargtahiniealeaxstt tywe:rhutendtrhede years. Ho should have no obj appointment such as had been su;g•icFed by the right hon. gentlemen the member for South K Sir G. BOWYEII allthougllt vlCOuntries ought to give to be strong and effective up criminals, but there ou, conditions under which such au arrangement was carried into effect. The House then went into committee on the bill. The agreed ng to, the only amendment whole of the clauses wereer the continuance of the made being that tho w ds a bill were struck out, the operation of the measure being limited to one year. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) BILL. Lord ,R. MONTAGU moved that the house go into committee on this bill, .the object of which was to remove, as far as possible, the restrictions relative to removal of cattle through Great Britain. He contended that the restrictions imposed by the tca.t tle plague had not inc reased the pe of m any degree worth mentioning, but that it had increased through some cause was certainly true, and in order that no undue regulations might remain in operation longer than was actually necessary, the present bill wa . s pr o posed. Ur. J. A. SMITE said it was useless going with measures for preventing disease in cattle without some steps were taken to remedy the cruelty that was exercised towards cattle during transit. A case had lately occurred in which for four days and a half some settle, moved from one part of the country to another, had been kept without either food or water. The great mis fortune, however, was that there was no power is any department of the Government to prevent a continuance of such a state of things. Tho Government said they were anxious to prevent disease spreading, but stated they wore powerless in such a case as he had mentioned; they might go on for years passing such bills as the pre sent, and still be no nearer the object they had in view than they were at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. JERVOISE also said a great deal:of disease was occasioned by over driving. A case Iliad:lately occurred in which a flock of sheep had l' en almost destroyed be cause the sheep had been driven for two and twenty hours, with only two hours fur rest. No horse could stand such treatment, and it was not surprising that diseas ) broke out. It was very convenient to call it cattle disease. The house then went into committee on the bill, and the consideration of its various clauses occupied the house until the sitting was suspended at seven o'clock. SPOaTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

Letters received here from Waitzen give the fol lowing account of Kossuth's election to the Hun garian Diet, as member for that district :- "At five a.m. some 60 electors assembled outside the town, and brought themselves by wine and firing guns into the requisite state of mind for the im portant act. At six o'clock two bands of music and a small body of horsemen traversed the town, and were everywhere received with much enthusiasm by the few persons at that hour in the streets. The shuts and increasing noise at last rous.a.l the tardy sleepers, and at 9 o'clock the electors met in front of the 'Emu 11111. There might have been been from 300 to 100 persons present, but among them were certainly many lads of tender age, and ragged, ill-dre.sselmen, who undoubtedly were notrrivilerstd to vote. Very few town electors of any sort made their appearance. " When the crowd seemed tolerably complete, loud cries of Elj en Kossuth' made themselves heard, and, as no other candidate was put up, the president of the committee asked whether the elec tors wont.' give in their votes or elect Kossuth by acclamation? The later course being chosen, Ludwig Kossuth was unanimously proclaimed member for the district of Waitzen. Several voters then proposed that the new member should be spe cially requested to accept the choice that had fallen upon him. The letter agreed upon for this purpose ran : " Honoured and great Patriot,—With universal enthusiasm, warm gratitude, and in the hope of a more brilliant future, the district of Waitzen has chosen the first and greatest citizen of our Father land as deputy, and begs him to accept his seat in the interest of the sacred cause, and the welfare of the country. We trust that by the fulfilment of this request our poor fatherland may regain one of whose great heart and magnanimous mind it has so long been deprived. With thankful reverence we ever remain, Scc.' " All the electors assembled signed some 180 sig natures, filling the sheets. It was proposed to forward this letter by a deputation to Kossuth, but the electoral officials doubt whether the requisite ex penses of the journey to Turin could be collected. The President declared with a sigh that there was little prospect of so doing in Waitzen, and the letter will therefore probably go the ordinary way of the post. " To see how large a proportion of the voters had taken part in the election, inspection of the list for the Waitzen district showed that it comprises 3,800 electors, 2,340 of whom belonged to the surround thtoeswne 96 to ;toupothne t po ne ll a , v a e n r d . e o luy 100 of n s in ca g rc e doubted in Waitzen whether Kossuth will accept O t f he greatly the seat.

" Permit me to say , " she add " that seven years, during which period this action has been pending against me, not of my seeking, is really but a trifle :n Scotch causes.
