The South Eastern Rai:way Bill and Southwark and Vauxhall Water Bill were read a second time. The Wands worth Bridge, Richmond Gas, Furness Railway, Sidmouth Railway and Harbour, Athenry and Ennis Junction' Rail way, Cheshire Lines, Rochester Oyster Fishery, Wilford Bridge, Windsor Royal Gss, Abertillery Gas and Water, Risca and Ponteymista Gas, Dublin Port, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Bills were read a third time. THE JUDGES' CHAMBERS BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second reading of this bill, stated that it had been sug gested to him by a nobleand learned friend who had him self been a Judge in Chambers that there should be a clause introduced which should !Allow an appeal from the decision of the Masters who were to decide on points argued in Chambers to the Judges themselves. He (the Lord Chancellor) considered this a very reasonable clause, and ono which could be advantageously introduced. He therefore, with this aiditbn, now moved the second read ing of this bill. It was then read a secctid time. THE CRIMINAL LUNATICS BILL. The Earl of BELMORE moved the second reading of this bill, stating it was on. which would greatly contribute to the better regulation d, the system at present pursued thtyard criminal lunatics. It was a very short but a very iortant one. The Earl of SHAFTIISBURY said that he did not object to the bill, which he considered a very good one, but he certainly did abject to the third clause of the bill, which gave the power to her Majesty's Secre tary of State to discharge any criminal lunatic. This ie considered a dangerots clause, and would urge upon their lordships that the greatest circumspection should be exercised in carrying mit this important function. A person committing a crme might be confined during her Majesty's pleasure, and then, on the certifi cate of certain physicians, be let out to the world again. It was a very serious question whether when persons were guilty of the most horrible crimes that they should be let ea - tothe world again. He would im plore them to reflect mina an affliction this might prove to society at large. He was afraid that by . the sense of impunity which this clause would engender, it would increase the species of crimes which resulted from madness.. He (the noble earl) remembered that on ono occasion when he had gone over Bethlehem Hospital, that the very criminal medical man who had accompanied him had stated that he knew twenty men at least in that establishment who bad said that if ever they got out they would break his head, and that they should do it with impunity. As they were already declared to be mad, he thought it was the duty of the Secretary of State to be particularly cautious in liberating criminal lunatic; especially as they might have simulated madness for the sake of screening themselves from the consequences of their crime. (Hear, hear.) • The Earl of KIMBERLEY would ask whether this bill was not to extend to Ireland. There was an establish ment there at Dundrum, which was similar to the same kind of establishments in England. He would call the noble earl's attention to the subject. The Earl of BELMORE said that he was not exactly prepared to answer why the bill did not extend to Ireland. fie believed that it formed one of the bills peculiarly adapted to England., Tho bill was then read a second time. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY PROFESS ORS HIPS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES. Lord REDESDALE gave notice of a motion with re gard to tho offices iu Downing-street, relative to what could be the advantage to the public of having those enormous and expensive offices for public business. They were paying a great deal for temporary offices. He understood that the Foreign Office was to come down. He should wish, when ho made his motion, to know what property had been purchased, and how much had been ex pended, and ask for a return of the amount of property which had been purchased. _ _ . RUSSIAN AMERICA. In answer to a question from a NOBLE LORD, The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said that, in the absence of the noble earl at the head of the Government, he might state that information had been received from St. Petersburg that negotiations were on foot for the cession of Russian America to tho United States, but that he ccnsidered that although such a project might create surprise it would not affect the interests of our British subjects. The house then adjourned. lIOUSE.OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tho following bills were road a third time and passed : Caledonian Railway and Forth and Clyde Navigation Companies, Enfield Gas, and Great Eastern Railway (Steamboats). THE REFORSI BILL. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS gave notice that in committee on the Reform Bill he should move an amendment, to the effect that a well considered system of dual voting be in serted in the bill to act as a counterpoise against household suffrage in boroughs. BURLINGTON HOUSE. Mr. LAYARD asked the First Commissioner of Public Works whether the buildings to be erected at the back of Burlington House for the accommodation of the London University were to be in the same style of architecture as that edifice, and whether tho report was true that they were to be in the Gothic style; whether be would give directions for the exhibition, in the library, of the elevation and plans of the now buildings, in order that the members might have an opportunity of inspecting them, together with the plans furnished by Mr. Ponnethorne ? Lord J. MANNERS said they were not to be in the same style as Burlington House. Ho had no objection to place the plans in the library. • THE CASE OF TOOMER. Sir J. COLLIER gave notice of his intention, on going into committee of supply, to call the attention of the house to the trial of Toomer, and to move for papers and memorials connected with the subject. BRIBERY AT. LANCASTER. Colonel W. PATTEN called the attention of the house to the petitions presented relative to the Lancaster bribery inquiry, and moved that the petitioners be heard at the bar of that house upon their own petition if they thought fit. Ile contended that all the evidence adduced before the commission was obtained by an indem nity, and that many of the electors gave their evidence thinking that the indemnity would protect them whilst ' making their communications, sad that the loss of the franchise was not through the admissions that wore made. Ho had searched the journals to find what course the house adopted in cases like that which he had brought before it, but he could not find one instance where tho prayer of the petitioners had been re fused ; but, on the contrary, he had discovered thirteen or fourteen instances where the petitioners had been heard either by themselves or counsel at tho bar. The hon. and gallant gentleman conclocled by moving that the mayor and corporation of Lancaster be heard by their counsel at the bar of the house against the clause in the Reform Bill disfranchising the borough. Mr. WALPOLE said if there was a j istification for disfranchising any borough, ho thought it applied most strongly to Lancaster, fur the commission had elicited that there were 1,408 voters in the borough, out of which it was proved that no less than 928 were proved guilty of bribery. If the house was justified in disfranchising Sudbury and St. Albans, surely they wore so in the case of Lancaster, because he never knew a case where bribery was so general. He could not give his assent to thnmot ion for hearing counsel against the proposed disfranchisement of that borough. The Marquis of lIARTINGTON thought it was punishing the whole of the electors of the borough of Lancaster too severely in disfranchising it because bribery had been proved to have taken place very extensively at the last election. Sudbury and St. Albans were treated with more leniency than that, because it was not until after bribery had been repeatedly proved to have taken place at many elections that they were at last disfranchised. Mr. HENLEY thought it only just that the parties should be heard before they were deprived of their .repre sentation. Sir R. PALMER said if sound justice demanded an in vestigation into the matters that led to the ultimate dis franchisement of Lancaster he, for one, would not object to the motion, but as, in his opinion, such was not the case in the matter now uncle' discussion, he did not think it would be right to grant the prayer of the pea- tionors. After some discussion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked that if the house were in earnest there were two things they must insist upon—first, that the investigation of the Royal Commission should be conclusive ; and, secondly, that whenever there was reason to believe that bribery had been committed, they should delegate their aothority to assessors, who should make an investigation into the cir cumstances on the spot. After a few words from Colonel FRENCH and 'Colonel PATTEN in reply, The motion was withdrawn. Mr. CRAWFORD obtained leave to bring in a bill for the preservation of Bunhill-fields burial ground as an open space. Lord AMBERLEY moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the Act of the 21st Geo. 111., c. 49, "for pre venting certain abuses and profanations on the Lord's-day called Sunday." The act was originally passed to put a stop to Carlisle House, which had become a place of amuse ment of an immoral character; and the object of the pre sent bill was to repeal so much of it as related to the delivery of lectures and the holding of public discussions at places where money was taken at the doors or tickets for admission were sold. Mr. B. HOPE did not oppose the introduction of the bill, but suggested that a select committee should be ap pointed .to inquire into the subject. Leave was given to bring in the bill. Mr. DENT called the attention of the house to the sixth report of the Children's Employment Commission, and moved " that in the opinion of this house the employment of women and children in agriculture should be regulated, as far as may be, by the principles of the Factory Acts." The hon. member condemned the mode in which women are now employed in gangs in agricultural pursuits, on the ground that it produced habits of recklessness and immorality which unfitted them hereafter for domestic service and for becoming wives and mothers. Mr. FAWCETT seconded the motion, and said that ono source of evil lay in the want of proper cottage accommo dation in the rural districts. He recommended the separa tion of the sexes and the licensing of the gang masters. `After some discussion, Mt:WALPOLE thought it was desirable that there shotijd bo legislation for private as well as public gangs, and recommended the reappointment of the commission which had just concluded its labours, with a view to legis lation upon the subject early next year. He cordially ap proved of the motion. After remarks from Mr. GREENE and Sir 11. V ERNEY the motion was agreed to. Mr. CRAWFORD moved that it is expedient, in the in terests of the public, that, in cases where adequate security can bo given, the State should assume tho responsibility of the debenture debt of railway companies unable to meet their engagements, upon conditions providing for the eventual acquisition of such railways by the State upon terms of mutual advantage to the State and to the rail Way companies. He alluded to the fact that at present railway companies experienced the utmost difficulty in renewing the debentures which fell due, and said the public incon venience would be very great if the Court of Chancery was ultimately obliged to step in. He proposed that any com- pany which was unable to meet its engagements, and against which a judgment had been obtained, should apply to the Government under the provisions of an act. of Par liament for assistance, and that the Government, if satisfied with the security offered and the general condition of the railway, should grant the assistance needed. He appre hended that in doing this the Government, in the ma jority of cases, would run very little risk. He further proposed that the debt to the Government should be a first charge upon the receipts of the company, and that the Government should be empowered to guarantee the prin- cipal and interest of the debenture debt of the company, issuing in place of the debentures as they fell duo Govern ment obligations to run for a_term of fifty years, whicl] would become a first charge on the receipts of the company after payment of the working expenses. Mr. S. CAVE said the hon. gentleman had done good service in raising the discussion. He thought the best way of getting rid of the difficulty with regard to the de- bentures was to issue stock at long dates and at higher rates of interest; but before this could be done it would be necessary that Parliament should legislate on the subject. Mr. HANKEY believed that the difficulties of the rail way companies were only temporary, and that they had been created by the borrowing powers given to them. He thought the interference of the Government, as proposed by Mr. Crawford, would only aggravate tho difficulty. Aftor speeches from Mr. Alderman Salomons, Mr. J. B. Smith, Mr. Watkin, and Mr. Laing, Sir S. NORTHCOTE appealed to Mr. Crawford not to divide the house upon the question, as it was undesirable that Parliament should pledge itself to any particular course of action. lie asked if the railways had good and sufficient security to offer for the advances Government would be required to make to them, and if they had he wished to know what inducement was to bo offered to .hem to include them to pay to the Government a higher rate of percentage for the money advanced than the public would receive. Mr. GLADSTONE said the subject was vast and in tricate, and in the present crude state of their information and views it was not desirable that the house should be committed to the adoption of any particular course. He therefore recommended Mr. Crawford not to press the motion. The motion was then withdrawn. Lord ELOHO moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law of master and servant. Mr. DENMAN moved the second reading of the Attor neys', &c., Certificate Duty Bill, the object of which, is to reduce the duty payable on attorneys' certificates to a no minal amount. Mr. BASS opposed tho bill. . Mr. AYRTON moved the adjournment of the debate, which was supported by The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on the ground that it was inconvenient to propose the remission of a tax so soon before the Budget. Upon a division the numbers were— For the adjournment of the debate Against Majority The debate was accordingly adjourned. The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad journed. • CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.—A. W.

There are few races in this country possessing the in terest of the Trial Stakes at Northampton, as the form generally itteluths the hest of the year. On this occasion Leybourne, Thalia, and Moulsey mot the triple winner of 1866, and of course they laid odds on Lord Lyon. lie locked well, if anything too well, and as Lord Bateman Lacked Moulsey, and the horse was known to twin form, a close struggle between him and the crack was anticipated. But it was nothing of the kind. Muni sey got the best of the start and made all the running, waited upon by Lord Lyon, who, pulling over his horses, passed him at the distance, and won in the commonest of canters by four lengths. Tho Whittlebury stable hardly came up to the mark of former years, only two two-year olds entering the field against their elders, of whom Bis mark was about the only one backed, and, very well rid den by Loates, won cleverly. The Northamptonshire Stakes had been, according to the betting and the report of his trial, such a certainty for Lecturer that it looked at ono time as if he would start at evens against the field. There was no second favourite, Regalia and Apsley being quoted at 100 to 8, and the rest wore all outsiders. In fact tho Ring had gone for Lec turer and "backed it beck," as the phrase is, directly the second heavy commission came into the market. The surprise was quite equal to the Epsom ones, as Quick March, who had not been supported for a sixpence, shook off the favourite with the greatest ease half way down the distance, and, attended by another unbacked one, the Amanda colt, came in a very bellow winner by four !Magi ha. ...

BELFAST, April 2.—Flax.—The supplies during the past week in the markets of Ulster were some what larger than in the week preceding. The finer qualities continue in active demand at very firm rates; other sorts are in fair demand at steady prices. Yarns.—The demand during the past week has not been by any means active; improvement has been reported. A fair home trade has been accomplished. The orders appearing on English and Scotch and Continental account are limited; stocks are increas ing, and prices tending downwards. Linens (Brown) Power-loom.—Except for approved makes of roughs and drills, which are in fair demand at full rates, the business transacted has been exceedingly limited, and in most cases at reduced rates. A. quantity of looms have been stopped, and others are only working half-time. Hand-loom.—Light linens for bleaching diapers, damasks, and printing lawns are in fair demand ; prices of these, except printing ing lawns,rule firm. Linen handkerchiefs continue in active request, at steady rates. Cambric handker chiefs, except wides and heavy linens, are dull of sale. Cloth for dyeing, &c., is in improved request, at firm prices. Bleached and finished linens. A fair home trade has been done. Continental de mand unchanged ; business done on American ac count has not been extensive ; a better feeling, however, exists ; stocks small ; prices generally un- changed. LEEDS, 2d.—A slight improvement was noticeable in the woollen cloth markets this morning, which may be taken that trade is rather reviving, though not to any great extent. Summer coatings and trowserings, ordinary plai❑ cloths, and plain and fancy meltous, soldin about equal proportions, and that, too, to the representatives of home-trade and shipping houses alike. The country clothiers report that they are mostly slack, and are making goods on their own account more than to order. Their stocks, however, are not heavy, and . any increase in the demand would soon clear them out. The chief makers of tweeds keep well employed, and have good orders on band. There is no material ch.tuge in the prices of any class of goods, and those of both cloth and wool may be .pronounced firm. ItocunALF., Ist.—The flannel-market to-day was of a quiet order. There was a small attendance of 1 buyers, and they purchased sparingly. Medium and fine qualities of fancy goods are in most request, and the manufacturers of such fabrics are tolerably well employed. There is not inuA demand for heavy goods for either the home or the foreign trade. Prices are the same as last week. The demand for Yorkshire goods is dull, as it has been for some time, but prices arc steady, The local wool trade is without change, either as to demand or price, .since last week. The Sunday Trading Bill. -s - Last evening a meeting of masters and journey men fishmongers and poulterers was held at Bryan ston llall, Orchard-street, Oxford-street, for the purpose of taking steps to support the measure re cently introduced into the House • of Commons by Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., for the abolition of Sunday labour. The meeting was well attended, and was presided over by Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., m.r. Mr. C. HILL, the secretary of the Fishmongers and Poulterers' Committee for the Abolition of Sunday Labour, opened the proceedings by stating that the object of the meeting was to put a stop to Sunday labour by supporting Mr. Hughes's mea sure. While, however, the measure had that object in view by closing shops on Sunday, yet an excep tion was made in respect of fishmongers and poul terers' shops, which it provided could be kept open up to 9 o'clock on Sunday morning. On finding that provision in the bill, the committee met and resolved on appointing a deputation of their num ber to wait on Mr. Hughes and impress upon hint the propriety of removing that exception from the measure. Mr. CHAMBERS, M.P., then addressed the meet ing, and stated that he had always taken a deep in terest in the Sunday question. No doubt there were differences of opinion as to how the day should be employed, some thinking that a portion of it at all events might be profitably set apart for healthful recreation and social intercourse and en joyment ; but whatever might b 3 their opinions in that respect, they were all agreed that in a country such as this, where the Sunday was kept as a day for religious duties, it should be maintained in that re pects. One day in seven was, in his opinion, abso lutely necessary ; and when he found that peaple employed in the fish and poultry trades were kept at work during 16 and 17 hours every week day and for nine and ten hours on the Sunday, as will be confessed, he was astonished how they could get through their labours. He considered that they should have the whole of Sandy as a day of rest. Ile had to work pretty. hard hitnself, but he con fessed that he could not perform the work lie had got to do unless it was for the rest and refreshment of the Sunday. He was therefore glad when he heard of the introduction of this measure into the House of Commons ; and he told M r. Hughes that he would give him all the support in carrying it through the house he could. (Cheers.) It appeared to him that without the rest of the Sunday a man's life was made ono perpetual round of toil, which it was never intended it should be ; and that they shousidecculorethfoerirt h u c t i te r o i s a t b t o o u c r l i ii i i i t g ng p e o:p t u h u : ll l : an s i t ot a no te tah o e f re t e l g i ff i u n elc g at s and r e House of Com te, L I a t l‘ e tl r ra n . p t ni t; io n t ioo o Kn f labour tbhee rme presented tei r d e a p o troe s 3 e t oh . mons praying the house to alter the proposed Sun day Trading Bill so as to prohibit the Sunday trade in fish Dr. BURNS po m : i l l a t ry v egn seconded e i r e e o l n y. d y resolution, a clop e d nn , h a ‘ n n i o m t o t e i e s 1 ed the resolution, it was approving of the bill of Mr. Hughes if so amended, was proposed by Mr. Edwin Gilson, of the liaymarket, and seconded by Mr. 3 Clear • . ,of the Edgware-road, both of whom stated that they had adopted the Sunday for the last six years and found it to answer ad mirably. The resolution was adopted unanimously. A petition in terms of the resolutions was then agreed to, and a cordial vote of thanks to Mr. Chambers for presiding terminated the proceedings. _ j
