but still sketchy imagining by Henry Tidey : this time, as the title indicates, from Ossian. Gazing upon J. M. Popling's (No. 286) " Mariana in the South," one cannot but recognise the appro priateness of at least two lines of the quotation affixed to it in the catalogue : 444 4 Is this the fo rm ,' s h e made her moan, That won his praises night and morn?' " T. Beautiful at once i n id ea and in execution ennyson is Harri son Weir's (No. 203) " Tho Voice in the Night " upon a spray of dogrose or sweetbriar, under the stars, a warbling nightingale ! Beautiful too in their way are Mrs. Harrison's (No. 179) " Cowslips," and (No. 186) " Primroses." HONEY MARKET AND CITY NEW& • ~,\ ~. CITY, Two o'CLocrc. The progress of business during the past week in the manufacturing districts has continued unfavourable, the advices from America having caused an almost suspension of operations in goods suitable to those markets. At Manchester com plaints are generally expressed at the dullness of trade, the few dealings entered into having been chiefly for immediate home requirement. No im provement can be reported in the demand for cloths at Leeds, and several of the mills have been only working "short time." At Bradford and Huddersfield the business done has been of the most limited character, without any change of importance in prices. In the hardware districts the operations have not been extensive. At Birmingham, however, there has been rather more enquiry for rifles for the American States. A moderate amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were steady. The sales were 8,000 bales. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England on Saturday. The arrivals this morning have been rather ex tensive, including the Kent from Australia with £104,220 ; La Plata from the West Indies, £84,600 Alhambra from the Peninsula, £3,818, and the Niagara front New York, £240. Later advices from Australia report the depar ture of the following vessels with gold for this country, viz., the Boreas, with £41,972 ; the Prince of Wales, with £88,604 ; the Themis, with £94,376 ; and the Yorkshire, with £144,500, in addition to those previously announced, with an aggregate of about £500,000 now at sea. A meeting of the Submarine Telegraph Company is being held for the purpose of electing directors, and considering the recent acrimonious and defama tory statements circulated against the management of the company. A protracted discussion is now going on. There is very little alteration in the demand for money, notwithstanding the quietude of trade, and the restricted operations in the manufacturing dis tricts. At the Bank of England the inquiries are very numerous, as the terms asked for accommoda tion in the open market are slightly in excess of the minimum of that establishment. The flow of sovereigns to America naturally tends to impart a firmer tone to the quotations, as its continuance must necessarily stimulate an upward tendency. There has not been much animation in the market for public securities to-day, but a slight improvement has taken place owing to the more favourable tendency of the advices from America, which have induced a few purchases on specula tive account. Consols are 91i for money, and 92 to 92 for the 6th proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 893,- ; ditto 5 fper Cent. Indian at 1011, and Exchequer Bills having improved to 4s. and 3s. dis. The dealings in the Foreign Market have been moderate. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 70-3- 71 ; ditto 1858, 551 56; Mexican have improved to 221 3 ; Grenada, to 16 ; Portuguese, to 47: ; and Sardinian, to 811 ; Spanish Deferred aro steady at 421 ; and Brazilian 43- per Cents., 874. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been of a rather restricted character. Prices, however, have been firmer, in sympathy with Con sols. Midlands, North-Eastern (Leeds), and South Easterns have advanced 55.; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North-Westerns, 10s. The Foreign Lines were quiet—South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, however, have further advanced per cent., being dealt in at 15:. Paris and Lyons, Dutch Rhenish, and Bahia and San Francisco realised previous rates. In the Colonial Market there was no material variation. Grand Trunk of Canada improved 10s., East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula remaining at previous quotations. Joint Stdck Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are flat. London Chartered of Australia receded ss. to 10s. ; Chartered of India, Australia, and China, 55.; Union of London, ss, ; Crystal Palace Stock was steady at 311, 311. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

A resolution was unanimously passed, expressive of regret and indignation at the aban donment of reform by her Majesty's Government, such abandonment being regarded as a violation of distinct and repeated pledges by the Ministry, and as injurious to the best interests of the country. It was also declared that no measure of reform would be satisfactory that does not em brace the £5 burgh and £lO county franchise, vote by ballot, and a redistribution of members in proportion to taxation and population ; and it was resolved unanimously that Mr. Black, M,P., having in his recent votes and speeches deserted the cause of reform, the meeting had no confidence in him as a :representative, and was of opinion that he ought to resign. A committee was appointed for the purpose of organising a reform association.

CORN EXCHANGE. Very moderate supplies of wheat were exhibited in the leading country markets on Saturday. Nearly all kinds moved off steadily, and in some instances prices had an up ward tendency. All other kinds of produce were very firm. Tho continental markets, almost generally, have been very firm for fine wheats, barley, and oats. In the United States both wheat and flour realised rather more money. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were limited. From abroad we received 17,734 (war ters of wheat, 1,783 barley, 19,721 oats, 761 beans, 1,255 peas, 1,945 tares, 2,668 linseed, 1,385 oilseeds, 920 maze, 40 sundry, and 407 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were very limited, and for the most part in poor condition. All good and fine samples met a steady sale, at quite the rates cur rent on this day se'nnigt ; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state, yet no change took place in the quotations. The demand for foreign wheat was by no mean active. However, a fair retail business was transacted in most de criptions, and prices were well supported. The show of samples was tolerably extensive. A fair average business was done in cargoes afloat, and, in some instances, the quotations had an upward tendency. For the time of the year there was considerable activity in the barley trade, especially as regards malting qualities, at very full prices. Malt was firm in value, although :the demand,"generally speaking, was rather inactive. All kinds of oats were in steady request, and late rates were well maintained. Beans were held at fully the late advance in their value. The inquiry for peas was by no means active; neverthe less, prices ruled firm. For most kinds of flour there was a moderate demand.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) THIRD DAY. HATCH V. LEWIS AND LEWIS. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. Mr. Lewis, sen., was called, and examined by Mr. C. Pollock.—l have been 33 years in profession, and was clerk of indictments for 27 years. On Sunday, the 13th of November, 1859, Mrs. Hatch came to me, at my residence in Euston• square, and she brought little Lucy with her. Whoa Mrs. Hatch intimated to me the nature of the charge against her husband, I suggested the propriety of the child going into another room, which she did. After discussing the matter for a short time, she handed to me a letter which the Plummers had sent to the Bishop of Winches • ter, and she stated that that would give more particularly _ _ _ the facts than she could give them. She, at the same time, handed to me a copy of a letter which contained language _ _ implying that her husband was guilty. I said tO " Surely in writing this letter you never intended to sug gest your husband is guilty ?" and she answered, " No." I then asked her if it had been written with her hus band's knowledge, and she said, "No, not with his know ledge." I then said, "The letter is of no consequence." I subsequently saw the child, and told her to tell me the truth, and also to do so on the morrow, when she would be examined by the magistrate. She said she never saw the plaintiff do anything wrong to the little girls. Mrs. Hatch then asked me if I would attend at Wands- worth police-court in the morning. I said I had not my list of attendances with me, but, under the circumstances of the case, I would do so, and that my fee would be three guineas. I desired her to have ready a complete statement from her husband, and the attendance of all the witnesses mentioned to me. I went to Wandsworth the next morn ing, and was introduced to Mr. Hatch, and he handed a statement to me. Mr. Cooper, the barrister, made a state ment of the facts against the plaintiff, and called his wit nesses, and cross-examined them, and as the magistrate intimated the case must go for trial, I proposed bail, and in the end Mr. Hatch was admitted to bail in the sum of £5OO himself, and two sureties of £250 each. The defendant then said that ho visited the plaintiff in prison on the 15th, 17th, and 21st November, and referred to his diary to prove the dates. On the last occasion he went into all matters very fully during the half hour he remained with him, and he then partly made a sketch of the late residence of the plaintiff. 1 received a letter from Mr. Onslow to retain Mr, Sergeant Ballantine on 22d of November. On the the 23d I had a conversation with Mrs. Hatch about re• taining Brannan, the detective, to make inquiries relative to the Plummers. He was engaged, and I received com munications from him. Previous to 26th, before the brief was delivered, 1 had a conversation with Sergeant Ballan tine for nearly an hour in Westminster Hall. Mr. Chambers objected to that being received in evi dence, as it was a mere accidental meeting, and would not be considered as a professional appointment. On that ground he should object to any further examination on the subject. Mr. Sergeant Shee contended that it was immaterial whether the conversation or consultation took place in Westminster Hall or in chambers. Witness—l communicated the result of the conversation to Mr. Hatch. Mr. M. Chambers—l altogether object to the opinion of Mr. Ballantine being given as it were incidentally. Witness—l had a long conversation shortly after the meeting of Sergeant Ballantine. I told him, after briefs were delivered, a full consultation would take place. Mt. Hatch said ho must be guided by his counsel, but he wished to have witnesses called. I told Mr. Hatch why I thought such a course would not be judicious. 1 stated generally with reference to that which occurred in the bed room that, as he or Mrs. Hatch could not be wit nesses, it must necessarily depend upon the evidence of Lucy, who would confirm the fact that the girl had been in bed with him. There were no witnesses at all as to the assault on Stephanie, that was confined t 3 them two selves. Mr. Pollock—And she hag never been contradicted up to he present time. Mr. Chambers—That is matter for argument. T.nr ,l Chief Baron thought there was some contradiction relative to her leaving the drawing room. Mr. Sergeant Shee—That 'does not apply to Stephanie. The Lord Chief Baron—l suppose, brother Slice, you intend to show the precise acts of perjury charged or proved. I consider I am bound to express my own views as to the exculpation of Mr. Hatch. There might have been suffi cient to justify the jury in saying that Eugenia had com mitted perjury without going to the root of another matter. I think that when a pardon is issued it might be taken as an authorised declaration that Mr. Hatch was innocent of the charges made against him. The opinion of the jury was of no value in comparison with it. Mr. Chambers said the learned judge was consulted before the indictment for perjury was proceeded with, and he was of opinion that the indictment of the elder girl was quite sufficient. Lord Chief Baron--I should have been surprised if he had done otherwise, Stephanie was but eight years old.' Witness proceeded—l wrote a letter to Mr. Onslow re lative to the expenses of carrying on the defence, and two or throe letters passed between our firm and Mr, Onslow, who said he would not be responsible for costs beyond £7b. The statement from Brannan was put into the hands of counsel on the Monday before the trial. I saw Mr. Ainslie once, Mr. Girdwood twice, and Mrs. Hatch, when I told them I would give them the earliest intelligence relative to the finding of the bill of indictment. I continued my inquiries till the 29th of November, and on tha,t day I attended Mrs. Hatch and assisted her in despatchinglettertito her witnesses. On the morning of the trial I had a consultation with coun sel, and the result was that witnesses were not to be called. On the morning of trial I saw Mrs. Hatch's witnesses in attendance, and also witnesses for the prosecution. I have no doubt I might have said to Mrs. Hatch, "Don't tease me, I'm in a hurry." I was present at the trial at the Old Bailey, and received many short communications from Mr. Hatch, which I have in my possession. The trial lasted from ten in the morning till seven in the evening, When the court adjourned for luncheon I had another consulta tion with counsel, and after that I told Mrs. Hatch her witnesses would not be wanted. I deny most posi tively that I ever asked Mrs. Hatch whether her husband was innocent or guilty. I was in court by accident during a portion of the trial of Eugenia Plummer, and I then said to Mr. Edwin James that if it would at all assist Mr. Hatch's case he might place me in the witness-box on Mr. Hatch's behalf, and state tat wit nesses were in attendance, and that he (Mr. Hatch) wished the witnesses to be called, but that counsel had decided otherwise. Mr. Chambers—l object to giving evidence relative to a conversation with Mr. Edwin James, who is not present. Lord Chief Baron—That's of no importance. It would make no difference it he were. Mr. Chambers—l think we had better have the short hand writer's notes read of what the witness really did say. After some discussion, the examination of Mr. Lewis was proceeded with. [He handed in a letter received by Mr. P Edwards, and written by Mr. Hatch, telling him that he. was informed that his trial was fixed for the Ist of Decem ber, and asking him to attend as a witness. A number of memoranda made by Mr. Hatch at the trial, and banded over to Mr. Lewis, were also put in.and rdad.J Cross-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—My first visit to Horsemonger-lane Gaol was on the 21st of November. I put in my own diary to prove it. You will there find it Marked in pencil. The learned counsel was about to put a number of ques tions relative to the other business transacted by the wit ness on the 21st, as it was stated by Mr. Hatch that Mr. Lewis did not call on him at the gaol as mentioned, but Mr. Sergeant Shee interposed, and objected to names of other parties being mentioned during this trial. The Lord Chief Baron to Mr. Chambers—You can only refer to the book as far as the particular entry upon which you wish to examine the witness. Mr. Lewis then proceeded to explain, by aid of his book, how he was occupied during the whole of the 21st of No vember. Nineteen-twentieths of what he said was devoted to Mr. Hatch's case. I will swear I was not in attendance at a police-court on other business that day. My son transacted the ordinary business while I was en gaged in Mr. Hatch's business. I believe it was in the afternoon when I went to ace Mr. Hatch, but I cannot speak positiVely as to the time. My next visit to Horse monger-lane Gaol was on the 26th—the only two visits I thought it necessary to make. The depositions were ob tained by our firm. We never sent a clerk to transact business at Wandsworth. I saw the witness at the trial in Mr. Clark's room in the 011 Bailey. I was not there mere than about half a minute. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine examined by Sergeant Shee—l have been at the bar 25 years. I practised principally at the Central Criminal Court, until I received the coif, when I only attended occasionally. I recollect meeting Mr. Lewis in Westminster-hall, when he explained to me the nature of a case he intended to send to me. I did not(give " 3 ' opinion. I received the brief: I had a consultation on it at chambers. The fact of calling witnesses was fully (lls cussed by myself, Mr. Robinson, the jttnior counsel, and others. I expressed a very strong opinion at the time s , an and d I gave Mr. Lewis my reasons fo r it.

The show of foreign stock in the market to-day was on the increase, and the demand for it was in a sluggish state, at about previous quotations. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were large, and, for the most part, in prime condition. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots realised 4s 10d per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2,900 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from other parts of England 400, various breeds; and from Scotland 817 Scots and crosses. There wa; a fair average show of sheep, in somewhat improved quality. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, the currencies had a drooping tendency. The best old Downs realised 5s per 81bs. Some small lambs moved off steadily, at extreme rates; but inferior breeds were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. Calves, the supply of which was moderate, sold steadily, at very full prices. We have no change to notice in the value of pigs. On the whole, the pork trade was heavy.

That was not to be considered a final de cision. I believ e I knew all the nature of the evidence to be given by the witnesses. I cross-examined the whole of the witnesses at the trial. I consider myself responsible in all cases I am engaged in for the calling or not calling of witnesses. Mr. George C. Lewis -- I I am th e b ro th er o f t h e gentle man who has just given his evidence. On the 16th of No vember I visited Mr. Hatch in prison. At Horsemonger lane prison it is the practice merely for a solicitor to enter his name in the solicitor's book on his first visit, and not after. At Newgate and other prisons i every v i s it i s regu larly entered. I saw Mr. Hatch n . what is c a ll e d the ma gistratc's room. My principal objeTt in visiting was to speak to him relative to his procuring bail. Mr. Hatch asked rue what I thought about the case, and I told him our great difficulty to surmount was to account for a motive for the children making such a charge. Mr. Keene, governor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, put in the solicitors' book kept at the gate, in which the name of Mr. Lewis appeared as a visitor to Mr. Hatch. Bateman, the keeper of the book at the prison, said that both the Messrs. Lewis visited Mr. Hatch while in confine ment. Cross•examined—Mr. Lewis, jun,, first spoke to me about coming here to-day. He subpeenaed me on the first trial. James Brannan—l formerly was an inspector of police I hold a Government appointment as agent to an inspector of gaols and reformatories. I was engaged by Messrs. Lewis t• make inquiries relative to the Plummer family. I sent the report in that has been spoken of to-day. I never made a charge for services I performed, but Messrs. Lewis gave me about £5. The - indictment for perjury against Eugenia Plummer was then put in, and the reading of the evidence given by the children on the first trial occupied the Court up to the time of going to press. !Algerian I Antwerp & Rotterdam.

Lord BROUGHAM asked whether due precautions had been taken to prevent the spread of the slave trade, in con sequnce of the cession of the island of St. Domingo to Spain? Eat' GRANVILLE was understood to inform the noble lord that he would give him an answer to his question to-morrow. PRINCESS ALICE'S DOWRY BILL. This bill was brought up from the Commons and read a first time. RAGGED SCHOOLS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved for the evidence on which that part of the report of the Education Commission which related to ragged schools was founded. He complained of the statements and opinions put forth in this respect, and thought it was actually necessary that the evidence which enabled the commissioners to come to such a conclusion, should be produced. He had read the report, and in his' opinion it was untrue, unfair, and ungenerous; not wilfully untrue, but untrue in fact ; and altogether a mere flagrant abuse of public authority had never 12een pet petrated by any body of men. Numbers of the returns made by the secretarys of ragged schools had altogether been omitted. Incorrect as the statements were as regarded the metropolis, those affecting the provinces were much worse. In the report Lancashire 'was put down as having but six ragged schools, with an attendance amounting to 927, but the information supplied by the town of Liverpool alone contradicted such a statement. In 1855 there were in Liverpool 11 Sunday schools, with 1,515 attendants; day schools 11, with 1,478 scholars ; evening ragged schools, 29, with 3,379 attendants; and industrial schools 2, with 210 scholars ; making a total of 53 schools, with 6,582 attendants in Liverpool alone : while the commissioners had set the number down at six. He felt certain the report would create the greatest dissatisfaction, and that the whole of the benevolent individuals interested in the spread of ragged schools would, he felt certain protest against it, It had been objected that ragged schools drew scholars from the day schools. That no doubt was true, but it was also true of other schools. Many parents sent their children to free schools in order to save the money they would have to pay for their education, but that was not solely confined to Ragged Schools. Supposing a commission was sent out to examine into the Blue Coat School in London a school founded for the sons of poor citizens. Why he thought it would be as cethined in a most positive manner, that a gr eat number of the scholars in the Blue-coat School bc. longed to parents who could well afford to pay for their rhildrena oduengon (Hear, hear.) [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPENNER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Bradford, 'Wakefield, and Leeds Railway Bill, Kilrush and Kilkee Railway and Poulnasherry Reclamation Bill, and Morayshire Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. The Stratford-upon-Avon Railway Bill as amended was considered and ordered for third reading. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Birke;head Railway ; Coleford, Monmouth, Usk, and Pontypool Railway; Elland Gas; London and North- Western (Cheshire Lines) ; London and North-Western (Liverpool Lines) ; Rathkeale and Newcastle Junction Railway; and, Salisbury and Dor s et Junction Railway. The following bills were considered, and ordered for 3d reading :—Frosterly and Stanhope Railway; London and North Western, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire Railways (Manchester London Road Station) ; Manchester and Wilmslow Road ; Mid Wales Railway ; Price's Patent Candle Company (Lords); Saint George's Harbour. _ _ _ The following jbills were considered :—Great North of Scotland Railway, Metropolitan Railway (Extension to Finsbury Circus), Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway, and Wolverhampton New Water. Several private bills were also read a first time. CATHOLIC PAUPERS IN SCOTCH WORK HOUSES. Mr. M'EVOY asked the President of the Poor-law Board whcther it was intended to take any evidence before the select committee now sitting on poor relief (England) in reference to the complaints made of the proselytism of Catholics in workhouses in Scotland ? Mr. 'VILLIERS said he did not think it would be proper to introduce any evidence of this kind before the committee who were called on to investigate the subject alluded to. MR. 1‘10;,,5. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he had received a copy of the communication addressed to Mr. Moss by the English mer chants of Yokohama, on the sentence of fine, deportation, and imprisonment at Hong Kong recentlypassed by he r Ma jesty's representative at Japan upon that gentleman ; and if he intends tl lay upon the table any papers on this case for the information of the house ? Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that the 'papers were referred to the law officers of the Crown, and that at present they could not be produced. ADJOURNMENT OF TIIE HOUSE FOR WHIT- SUNTIDE. Lord PALMERSTON said it might be convenient if he stated that it was proposed to adjourn on Friday next until the following Thursday. MR. A. STEUART, M.P. Mr. ROEBUCK rose to draw the attention of the house to a personal matter, and one which involved a breach of the privileges of that house. He regretted that he should be compelled to mention in a painful manner the name of a member of that house, Mr. Andrew Steuart— Mr. MACAULAY appealed to the Speaker whether it was usual to bring forward matters of this kind without giving the member who was affected by it notice, or giving his nearest friend such notice. _ _ _ The SPEAKER explained that, as the hon. and learned member proposed to make a statement of a circumstance which he considered was a breach of the privilege of the house, he was perfectly in order, and might use his own discretion. _ _ Mr. ROEBUCK said that some fiftaen years ago Mr. Steuart was afflicted with a brain fever, which left behind a great irritability. It must be known to all who were acquainted with the life of Charles Lamb that his sister, who was afflicted in a similar way, had a fore sight when her disease was coming on. Mr. Steuart had the same foresight, and some time since desired to place himself in a lunatic asylum, and applied to Dr. Winslow, the proprietor, to: be admitted as an inmate. Dr. Winslow explained that it was necessary he should have a certificate signed by two medical men before he could receive him into his asylum. Mr Steuart obtained such certificate, which stated that " he was not only dangerous to himself but to others." Notwithstanding this the hon. member for Cambridge voted on an important question in that house on last Friday morning. Now he considered it was most improper to allow a man to come amongst a number of excited men—(laughter) --- o u t of a lunatic asylum. He charged nobody, 1; 11 LX somebody was to blame he considered the that a should be investigated, and he concluded by d o Inltz-cum select committee be appointed to inquire into, t en Friday stances under which the hon. member vot morning last. (Hear, hear.) Mr. lIADFIE IID seconded the motiopi he bo n. member en that e house— Mr. p ow l u a hs n ie c a_ h - Mr. MACAULAY, as aa colk d a di ga offew e ren subject to him d learned member IR (Mr. Roebuck) said that t f i eornonthis Cambridge, subject. considered lvhe i n t r t e . h t o t ° I L% (Mr. Roebuck) communicatyea h h h e e e ha m h d a a d m de a n d e a e a t r h d st a a t f t r e e o v m m e e n n iF t roe t •: g t in h o t et reliable information that .tsvg„, an d when the hon, member left the y ° l'ileitr t i o ntoto th a Mr. Steuart; wal eoper e, who accompanied him t the door of the 2 ? attended by ne stated that the hon. and learned followed bin'• been misinformed, and he gentle have stated that alter man must th house he accompanied and walked acr P oss alace he lef t -- • and there ar d with him, d was no keepers in attendance, I , at the hon. an,learned member said that they were pre sent without his knowledge. tile hon, and learned member (Mr. Macaulay) then, entered into a statement that Mr. Steuart was perfectly sane, not only on the night in ques tion, but ten days p • letter which he had previous, as was shown by a receivedfrom but him, . which, most f a 1 his nn. ortunateq, was not at present in possession.. The certificate on which Dr Winslow admitted him to his informa tion asylum was made from the ' communicated by Mr. Steuart himself. He expressed a desiro to come and vote on the question a nd Dr. Win slow end eavoured to dissuade him, considering it would not be proper for him to do so, being at the time an jaw* a I laaatic asylara l Alc reputed ijillio worse d the day histvisit to the medical gentleman in charge of the asylum, who also endeavoured to alter his intention, but finding that he could not effect his object by argument, did not consider it advisable to offer any further opposition. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that in the present state of information it would not be desirable to adopt the course proposed by the honourable and learned member :(Mr. Roebuck). He had reason to believe that the Commissioners of Lunacy had inquired into this matter. He would communicate with them, and re quest them to make an official report to the Home Office, and when he received that report he would lay it on the table of the house. (Hear, hear ) Mr. COGAN complained of the indelicacy of bringing this matter forward. Lord PALMERSTON said that however painful it might be to bring this subject before the house, he thought it was a matter that should be decided on higher grounds than those of personal considerations. (Hear, hear.) Tt was a very serious thing that a person should come out of a lunatic asylum and vote on an im portant question, and he thought it necessary for the dignity of the house that there should be an investigation into the circumstances. After some discussion, in the course of which several hon. members stated that they conversed with Mr. Steuart on the night in question and that his mind was sound, the motion was negatived without a division.

Although the field for the Chester Cup was small, it cer tainly proved the correctness of Mr. Topham's judgment when he allotted such light weights to Chore Arnie, Horace, Herne, and Man-at-Arms. The result showed that it was rot the foregone conclusion for Godding's stable that caused such abuse to be heaped on Mr. Topham. Next year the handicap will be submitted t 3 the stewards of the meeting for their approval before its publication. The stewards elect are the Marquis of Ailesbury, Lord Courte nay, the Earl of Stamford, the Earl of Chesterfield, Sir Lyd • stone Newman, and R. E. Naylor, Esq., and under the scrutiny of such a competent tribunal errors of judg ment will be pointed out and corrected. Mr. Topham's office is a ',most arduous and disagreeable one, and he is doubtless delighted to be relieved of some of the responsi bility which attaches to it. I may here remark that two of the three I selected to beat the field ran first and second.- During the meeting the Derby betting was occasionally very spirited, and the movements in reference to it were watched with much interest. Dundee was in great force at 7 to 2, 10 to 3, sto 2, and finally 9 to 4. The successes of Underhand and others of Fobert's horses gave addi tional strength to the backers of Dictator, and so great was the support conceded to the horse that he advanced point by point to 14 to 1 taken. These were the principal' incidents connected with speculation on the Derby, for which the number of starters is not likely to exceed that of Surplice's year, when 17 went to the poet, and it may not. be over that of Wild Dayrell's year, in 1855, when only 12 competitors were mustered. The Stewards' Cup gave Chore Arnie an opportunity of turning the tables on Ben Webster, as she met him on 10th better terms than in Wednesday's race, and Ben had besides ran a severe race with Cosmopo lite on the previous day. The latter's running in the Gros venor Stakes was very bad, for General Mess had no busi ness before him at racing weights, but the excuse that he nearly slipped down whilerunning on the tan laid down at the last turn was a reasonable one, as the rain rendered it such dangerous going that all the jockeys were unanimous in the opinion it should be removed. The General himself was beaten by an accident on Thursday, being completely shut in while running for the Marquis of Westminster's Plate, or Duneany would never have beaten him ; and thus the talent was twice at fault with Captain Little's unlucky little horse, which seldom wins when backed for a good stake. The York Spring Meeting commences to-morrow and extends over Wednesday. There are seven races set for decision on the first day, including the Great Yorkshire handicap. The Zetland Stakes (5 furlongs 44 yards). From the dark division I prefer the chance of Zetland, and of the public performers Manrieo, who is penalised 71b., will run forward. The Craven Stakes ought to fall to Angeld. The Great Northern Handicap will not produce a large field, to be chosen from the following : PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS. HORSE. . RIDER. Ben Webster .. .. L. Snowden. ' The Wizard .. Aldcroft. Crater .. .. F. Adams. Horror .. Fordham. Lady Trespass .. J. Osborne. First Lord .. Bullock. Syringe .. .. Madden. Millionaire .. York Minster .. The Prophet .. Guilder .. Fisherman .. J. Snowdon. .. Culvert, .. Daley. .. Johnson. Ben Webster is penalised 101bs, which puts his chance out. The Wizard will find the distance in the Flying Dutchman's Handicap suit him better. Crater, from his easy defeat of Malta, appears the most formidable in the race. Horror, if he has recovered his last year's form, ought to be very dangerous. Lady Trespass will be John Osborne's representative, and may get a situation. Syringe, First Lord, and Millionaire, will find the distance too far. Yorkminster will improve on his running in the Dee Stakes. The best outsider is The Prophet. The winner I anticipate will be CRATER. The Flying Dutchman's Handicap I expect The Wizard or Benbow will secure. The Rowcliffe Stakes appears a gift to Jung Frau. In " the Londesborough Handicap. Lupellus, Horace, or Spicebox ought to beat the field, and I prefer their chances in the order named. The only event of importance to be decided at Salisbury is the Great Wiltshire Handicap, and, from the light weight of Betts, and the forward position he occupied in the Dee Stakes, he ought to have no difficulty in disposing of the rest of his opponents.
