VRORTING NOTES. NOTIONS ABOUT THE HANDICAPS. The most important movement during the last three days has been that which caused the elevation of Yel low Jack to the premiership for the Chester Cup. Not only for the Great Cestrian Prize, but for the Two Thousand and Derby, this horse has been backed w th an earnestness which is unmistakeable. Still, without pre tending to a knowledge of his owner's intentions concerning him, I am induced to regard the support Which Yellow Jack has received for the Chester Cup with much suspicion, and shall not be surprised if he be entirely reserved for the Two Thousand and Derby. That the Chester Cup is a stake worth winning is in oontestible' and a recent trial may have satisfied the Findon party, " bar accidents," Yellow Jack's success is reduced to a certainty. Acting on the old proverb Which tolls us that a "Bird in the hand is worth two sn the bush," the owner of Yellow Jack may be in clined to let the horse jeopardise his Derby charice, by taking a part in the Roodee "Scrimmage." As I have already st,ted, however, I entertain doubts as to Whether Yellow Jack will go to Chester. The forfeits which were declared yesterday for the Chester Cup have been placed before the reader. The animals "left in" the Metropolitan are of a some- What moderate character. The three which at present attract my "fancy ,, are Mishap, Lady Florence, and Van Galen. The " contents" for City and Suburban are satisfactorily numerous. The lot which appears to Iva n , to be worthy of notice comprises Wild Huntsman, n'an, Ellermire, New Brighton, La Vietime,Fishermaa, and Bubble. Fly -by-Night bas within the last five days encountered considerable opposition for both the Two Thousand and Derby. His backers are evidently not discouraged, and he horse's retrogression has not been very decided. All emits of rumours are circulated about him, but Scott's Derby horses are never much the worse for being tem porarily "depressed" in the Turf market. Feb. 2. A FRESH MAN. Court of Queen's Bench—(This Day.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord Chief Justice Camp- bell and a Special Jury.) FITZIIAURICE V. BAILEY, BART. The Attorney-General, Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Bad dely, were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Watson and another learned gentleman for the defendant. This was an action for an alleged breach of contract relative to the purchase from the plaintiff, the Hon. Major W. E. Fitzmaurice, the lease of Hamiltoa House, sensington-gore. From the great number of witnesses to be examined On both sides the case is likely to occupy the attention of the Court two days. Lord Campbell, at the corn- Theneement of the case, suggested an arbitration, but the defendant declined to accede to it. SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. The following answer has been received by the committee of Spanish bondholders to a letter ad dressed to the Earl of Clarendon on behalf of their constituents : _ "Foreign-office, Jan. 31, 1855. , " Sir —I am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to ac knowledge the receipt of the letter signed by Baron Lionel Rothschild and Mr. Louis Samson, on behalf of the committee of Spanish bondholders, upon the subject of the state of their claims upon the Spanish Govern ment, and requesting that instructions may be given to Lord Bowden, her Majesty's Minister at Madrid, to make such representations to that Government as may 'educe them, without further delay, to reccgni , e the just claims of the bondholder ; and I am to state to you in teply, that instructions will be sent accordingly to her kajesty's Minister at Madrid, and that the committee may rest assured that no effort on the part of Lord fauwden will be wanting to procure justice for the bond -4olders.—l am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " WODELIOUSE.

A GIANT IN DIFFICULTIES.—A person named Paris, keeper of the Cafe des Arts, Boulevard du Temple, on Thursday brought an action before the Tribunal of Com merce against a man name Murphy to recover B,ooof. for breach of agreement. This Murphy, he stated, is of gigantic stature, and is employed in the establishment of the plaintiff to exhibit himself as a giant. The condi tions are that he shall be paid 1,200 f. a month, and, as well as his brother, be supplied with food, lodging, and washing gratis, and that in return he shall be at the Cafe every day from two o'clock in the afternoon to 11 at night, shall every half-hour walk about the Cafe, and light a cigar at the highest gas-lamp. But, instead of punctually attending to his duty, Murphy for a long time past bad arrived every day about 20 minutes ton late, and thereby did injury to the Cafe. As an in demnity for this injury Paris maintained that a sum of B,ooof. was not too much. Murphy, who stated that he lived at Neuilly, a long way from the Cafe, opposed the demand, on the ground that it was not true he was haleitaally late, and be alleged that the plaintiff fre quently advanced his clock. He also said that by their agreement Paris had the power of fining him 101. for every half hour he was behind time, but so punctual was he that he (Paris) had never had an opportunity of inflicting the fine. The Tribunal dismissed the action, with costs. In the course of the proceedings it was stated that, though Murphy's name is Hibernian, he figures as a " Scotch" giant, and WON the highland 99.02gae."-Golignsitfa Memtbat.

Mr. WYSE gave notice that on Monday next he should put a question to her Majesty's Government relative to tickets of leave. HARBOUR OF REFUGE IN CARDIGAN BAY. Mr. L. DAVIES gave notice that, on Tuesday, the 12th instant, he would submit to the house a motion for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the ex pediency and practicability of constructing on the most advantageous part of Cardigan Bay a harbour of refuge, to afford protection against the injury to commerce, and to avert the harrowing scenes attendant on the frequent shipwrecks which occur in St. George's Chan nel ; which harbour may be constructed also to serve as one of defence against invasion ; and that the said committee be at liberty to receive evidence as to the feasibility of employing the convicts of this country on that work, making their employment remunerative to the country, beneficial to themselves, and at the same time preserving our social condition, the security of which at present is so affected by the return to it of the ticket-of-leade men.

SHELLEY gave notice that on Tuesday the 14th of February he should call the attention of the house to the Irish bench. (Laughter. ) TENANTg COMPENSATION (IRELAND). Mr. V. SCULLY asked the First Lord of the Trea sury what were the precise intentions of her Majesty's Ministers with regard to the Tenants' Compensation (Ireland) Bill ; and whether it was intended to intro duce it now as a Government measure, and pass it through its several stages early in the present session. Lord PALMERSTON said last session a bill had been brought in with respect to this subject, and difficulties had been met with in quarters the least expected. The encouragement the Government received last year was not such as to induce the Government to propose or take charge of any bill in the present session. MINISTERS' MONEY. Mr. L. KING asked her Majesty's Ministers what steps had been taken by them to carry out the resolu tion of that house on the 19th day of June last, that a bill declaring what statutes had been repealed, expressly or virtually, and what had become obsolete or unneces sary in the present state of society, ought to be forth with prepared. Lord I'ILMER,SrO.N—The best consideration had been given to the subject, and if the hon. member thought fit to bring in a bill on the subject, the utmost facility would be given to him by the Government. THE GUARDS' MEMORIAL. Viscount GODERICH asked the Under Secretary of State for War whether the attention of the Secretary for War bad been directed to a memorial lately ad dressed by the colonels of the respective regiments of Foot Guards to her Majesty the Queen and whether it was the intention of the Goverament, in consequence of the representations of that memorial, to make any alteration in the warrant regulatinc , prorao tion and retirement in the army, dated the 6th day of October, 1854. Mr. F. PEEL said the memorial had received the best attention of the Secretary of State, and he was able to say that there was no prospect of any alteration being made in the warrant of last year in consequence of that memorial. COLONEL TITER. Mr. DUNCOMBE asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to introduce, during the present session, any bill for the alteration or amendment of the laws affect ing aliens! (hear.) And, secondly, whether it was true that the liberation of Colonel Turr by the Austrian Go vernment was correct, and that he was at liberty to return to his employment under the Crown of England? (Hear.) At the same time, probably, the noble lord would have the kindness to state what were the steps taken by her Majesty's Government with reference to this arrest, which he looked upon as a gross viola;,ion of the interna tional law of Turkey, and an insult to this country, as regarded the Crown of England. (Cries of " Order.") The noble lord would give great satisfaction to the people of this country it he would state what had really occurred with reference to Colonel Turr. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK —Perhaps, sir, before the noble lord answers the question, I might be allowed to suggest an observation on it. (Cries of " Order.") I think lam in order. Mr. BUNCOMBE —Probably the hon. member would wait until he has heard the answer to my question. Lord I'ALMERSTON said that with regard to the first question he had to state that her Majesty's Go vernment had no intention to propose any law with regard to aliens this session. With regard to Col. 'Farr, he had the satisfaction of stating that the result of the oommunicatione that bad passed between ;England and Austria had been that the Austrian Government had de clared she was now ready to deliver Col. Turr up to any military authorities her Majesty might authorise to re ceive him. As to the communications that had passed between the two Governments, the house, he felt eel , tain, would be of opinion that, as the matter was now satisfactorily at an end by the liberation of Col. Turr, co object could be gained in going into it. (Hear, heat...) The question was not altogether so simple a one ai; his hon. friend appeared to imagine, but on the eontrary very complicated from a variety of con flicting circumstances. All he could say was that whilst Austria on the ono band contended for the assertion of rights she deemed she was entitled to demand, on the other hand she evinced some disposition to meet the wishes of her Majesty's Goverment consistent with those rights she deemed it right to maintain. Col. Turf was tried by a military tribunal for desertion from the Austrian army, and convicted of that offence, which transaction Colonel Tarr had never denied. That conviction was well known, and the Austrian Government, in deference to the wishes of her Ma jesty's 1 1 Governtnent, ordered h's immediate discharge in the manner in which he had stated. . Mr. ROEBUCK said the emendation he wished to make to the question of the hon. member for Finsbury with respect to the liberation of Colonel Turr, was to ask whether that gentleman had been discharged without any indignity being cast on him in consequence of hie arrest, because he had heard from the public papers that!such was not the case. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said that, so far as he was aware, nothing further had occurred than Col. Turr's simple liberation TH , TURKISH LOAN. Mr. DISRAELI gal - s e notice that on Monday next he would move for a statement of the several sums trans mitted by the Bank of England to the Sublime Porte, on account of the loan of 5,000,00 01 . guaranteed by the governm ents of France and Eogland, and also a state ment of the date of each remittance made by the Bank of England. THE FALL OF KIII3. Mr. WHITESIDE gave notice that on An early day he would call the attention of the house to the circum stances connected with the fall of Kars. (Heao THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACTS. Mr. LOWE gave notice that on Monday next be would move that the acts relating to merchant shipping should be read, and that the house should resolve itself into a committee on the same. JUVENILE REFORMATORIES. The question having been put that the house at its rising should adjourn until Mondayinest, Sir J. PAKINGTON rose, pursuant to notice, to ask the the S ecre t a ry of State for the Home Department what were i n t en tions of her Majesty's Government with r reformatories respect ? to the future support and regu la t ion of juvenile He would not detain the house at any length upon that occa , sion, when he was aware that he could not a ddress them ex cept by an abuse of the forms of the house—(hear, hear) — although that abuse was one to which the house itself had repeatedly given its Eanctiou. His o bject was to ascertain what were the intentions of her Majesty's Government upon a subject which was at present exciting very considerable interest in the country, and which, in his opinion, required the careful attention and the decided a c tion of the right honourable gentleman at the head of the Home Office, He thought that the !house and the country were hardly aware of the magnitude which that ques tion had assumed within a ver short period of time. He b e li ev ed he was not a t all exaggg when h e stated that upwards of 30 counties had already either established re formatory institutions, or were engaged in doing so. But he believed. be wt alto OW $a t. }t hardly any two of 7" - • • c those counties acted in the matter exactly with the same ob- 1 that whatever might be the best plan for the amelioration of jects or exactly on the same principle. Some of them had the law, the right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State for raised the necessary sums of money to build very large esta- the Home Department would take the matter into his serious blishments, while others bad appropriated mere cottages efo I consideration, and would not bring forw ar d th e bill un til i t the reception of juvenil e offenders. Again, some of them had had been fully deliberated on. resolved ou subscribing considerable sums annually for the Lord R.

But as the Government had advised her Majesty to refer mitted, by the most admirable motives, but many of whom to those questions of internal improvement, he did not were enthusiasts, who could hardly be trusted with the duty derstand why they had omitted altogether any reference to: carrying out such a system.

Now I considered this of those establishments involved two most important social language of the noble lord as being the expression of the questions. It involved the administration of the criminal law, views of the Government, and he heard it with very great and it involved the care and the training of thousands of pleasure. He hoped the Government would feel itself bound by that which the noble lord had spoken.

But this grant must be under a responsible importance. But before the house committed itself to the minister, a member of this house. He felt called upon to opinion that the present law upon the subject ought to be express his hope that the Government would not recede from altered, and before the Government could pledge themselves the intention they had expressed last year. to propose any such alteration, they should bear in mind what Sir G. GREY could assure the right hon, gentleman that had already passed upon the matter. Only two years ago the the omission of the subject in the speech from the Throne act had been passed, chiefly through the exertions of the hon. did not arise from her Majesty's Government undervaluing member for Staffordshire (Mr, Adderley), by which the pre the subject.
