MONEY MARKET AND OOMMEItOIAL INTELLIGENCR, CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Stock Exchange is closed to-day, according to custom, in consequence of the shutting of the Transfer Offices at the Bank, for the purpose of striking the ,nilf-yearly balances. The Bank return shows some indications of an in creasing demand for money, in a falling off in the reserve, combined with an increase in private securities, rind a diminution in the private deposits. The cir (lllation i s consequently higher. The bullion has slightly enlarged, and the reserve amounts to nearly eleven millions and a half. If this position is main tained, the rate of discount will not be changed, inas much as the reserve is moderately strong, and the securities stand at less than the recent average. The "lowing are the principal changes since the nrevior return : Increase in Circulation -- £203,986 Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in other Deposits ...

The demand for discount this morning is firm. at 2 per cent. The Stock Exchange being closed, there is no busi ness to report in stocks or shares. The following notification has been received from the Bank of England, dated Ist May, 1868 :—Notice is hereby given that in order to prepare the dividends clue on the sth July, 1868, the balances of the several accounts in the following Funds will be struck on the night of Tuesday, the 2nd June, 1868, viz.:—£3 per Cent.

M ocatta and Goldsmid :—" The demand for silver for the East having for the present quite subsided, th e market has become flat, and the price 1148 fluctuated between 60id and 60d, at which rates purchases,,, have been effected for the Continent. l extean dollars remain at 590, but without much animation, and it is doubtful whether the large I.l,lnounts now on the way will realise this quotation. air j- • h n_ e e re sh ipments of gold expected to arrive shortly from Australia and from the United States are very large. .nd thoisu g, but a very moderate demand for exportation American eagles and some other descrip ..ti,otnos are purchased for transmission to France, ost all the bar gold which is received is taken to the Sank. ” W The Sto c k E xchange Committee have appointed of e tb dn es!lay, M a y 6, a special settling day in the Scrip litane 81x per Cent.

LYON v. HOME. Tho arguments in this case have concluded to-day, a n d the Vice-Chancellor has intimated that he will give hi s judgment early next term. MURDER BY A RAILWAY PORTER. (T HIS DAY.) This morning groat excitement was occasioned at Dover, in consequence of a cold-blooded murder being committed by a man named Wells, a railway porter, in the employ of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. It appears that for some time past the station master, Mr. ‘v a i s h , at the Priory Station, has had to complain of th e conduct of the young man in consequence of the discharged loaded fire-arms near the offices, and this seems to have highly incensed Wells. Mr. W a l s h having intimated to him last evening that he should report his conduct to the board, Wells became sullen and disrespectful, and this morning ho entered the station mastet's office, and whilst Mr. Walsh was engaged at his desk with his acconuts Wells entered the room, and, taking deliberate aim, discharged the pistol, which killed t'le unfortunate man on the spot. Wells was at once secured and handed over to the cus tody of the polio°. RACING FixT rRES FOR 1868. Y.

MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD.— " Historical Sketches of the Reign of George the Second—The Man of the World" is the subject of the first article met with. Chesterfield is the hero of the sketch, here described as the urbane and polished statesman, orator, and moralist, but, above all, " man of the world." The reader will be pleased to meet with this graphic account of a man so prominent in his generation. It is worthy of comment that in this paper Chester field's letters are not made the prominent theme of discussion ; thee, it is said, arc within everybody's reach, but they are not so wonderful, so unique, or So manifold as was the man. " Linda Tressel" is c included very sadly, a might have been ex pected from the prior portions of the story, and the conduct of her cruel aunt may well serve as a warn ing to worldly-minded relatives who will inter fere to mar the prospects of others. Tliis tale is ably described, and some of the characters arc well drawn. The adventures of the unfortunate heroine heiself arc told in a simple and yet effective style that cannot fail to impress. " llorse Flesh" is a paper tat will suit :lonie readers; it refers to the new uncle practised by BORIC of eating the meat hitherto reserved for dogs and starving garrisons. Some of the comments are curious and 'well-timed, mil at any rate the subject referred to has taken up so inuei time that these remarks are quite appropriate just now. " The Lucky Tom Griffin, his Love and his Luck," is the first part of a new story that is written in an animated style, and is likely to please the lovers of the humorous. " The Odes of Horace" is continued from the last num ber of this periodical, and in this part we find spe cimens of the metre in which it is propose,l to translate the Odes. These will be most interesting, alike to .the scholar and the reader of culti vated tastes, and form a brilliant addition to the contents of this number. Mr. Gladstone and the Irish Church figure prominently in the political 'article, and of course the right hon. gentle man does not come in for a large meed of applause. " Cornelius O'Dowd's" reflections are as quaint as usual. " Country Grammar School" is an article that is worthy of notice when the educational question is the order of the day, and some usefal reforms 'are suggested in the way of extending progress. BELGRAvrA.---"Dead Se.i. Fruit" is continued, and tells of Lucy's farewell to the stage, and other matters of interest. " Disagreeable People" is a brief sketch, that is original, at any rate, and the reader is recommended to try and like them, as so many must be met with in the world. The study of the class, wide and varied as it has been, leaves the writer at fault as to whether we can be disagreeable without knowing it. There is a good deal of truth in the sum ming-up of this sketch, that vanity and selfishness are at the bottom of it all, and that these disagree able people play after all a losing game in the world's history. " London Palaces" present us with Buckingham Palace, and Kensington Palace, which has been described in Sybil as the palace in a garden, where came the voice that told the maiden she must ascend her throne. "An Old Venetian Sketch" is a very pleasing one, and transports one in fancy to the glorious city of St. Mark. " Cosmetics for the Hair" is a paper that is most appropriate at this moment, and all sensible people will heartily agree with the remarks here made, that it is a silly practice, and withal prejudi cial. Better remain as we, are than have recluse to these stupid disfigurements. An instalment of " Charlotte's Inheritance" is met with, and " Diana Gay" is likewise proceeded with. COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE.—The number for May deals rather more in the imaginative ideal than fact, not that imagination is not highly interesting when founded on fact, however plausible it may sometimes appear. " Education of our Troops " begins the number, and it considers the system in its working satisfactory on the whole. There is a greater variety of expert habits necessary in the effective soldier than in the exploits of the rough working labourer, for attention is the lint duty of the soldier, which becomes with him a mech Lnicat art in his first lesson, whether it be in book learning or in rifle shooting. In "A Gentleman Cadet " which follows the artillery officer is said to require much the same education as the engineer, for their duties are much akin. It is also considered that it would be an a Ivantage to have in struction given more by lecture than by learning by rote from a book, as the former makes a greater impression. This may be doubtful, bat as Dean Swift said— " To give a young man a good e lucation, The army is the very best school in the nation." " Naval llerois n" could no t fi n d a more fitting exemplar than in the deeds of our gallant tars, as the " Captain of the Mizentop's Yarn" will here after attest. "Portsmouth in the Sixteenth Cen tury" would not recognise its fellow in the ninei teenth. As to " Our C a v a l r y Remounts," it s rather amusing to be told that there is no two colonels in the service, however kind at heart or disposition, who will be found to agree on the bes t mode of breaking in young horses. If one is for warm stabling and gentle treatment, the other considers such horsemanship a s cod dling, while another thinks that instead of taking a month or two in teaching a young colt how to behave himself, ho would recom mend the Mexican-Indian fashion, who catch, saddle, and break their horses in in an afternoon ! Cer tainly in the matter of education one ought not to be ashamed to learn a good thing from any quar ter., As to th e ar ti c l e on " B raz il an d P arag uay' we think the writer has been paying his court to the seat of empire at Rio de .Janeiro, where all the victories are stereotyped exactly as they would wish them to turn out. But perhaps he may find out his mistake before another revolution enlightens his judgment. We hope the Paraguayans may triumph and prosper, and that cominericial freedom may extend all over South America for the benefit of the people, and the utter extinction of slavery. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—The new monthly opens with a discussion oa a daily mail route to India, which it declares to be a perfectly feasible project by a variety of roads, only needing capital to carryout the wo r k s . T hose who are interested in the question will find it very fully discussed in this article, which c onc l u d es by strongly recommending the Euphrates V a ll ey route. The " lieepdale Mys tery" is brought to a conclusion, not before the time. The latter part of the story is as improbable as the first in a different way. Francis Jacox, as usual, contributes a discursive paper, enriched by a good many quotations ; but ho takes his cue this time from Crabbe. A visitor to Lower Canada gives us an account of his impressions of the country and of the Falls. There are several other articles of more or less merit, besides the continuation of two or three romances. Nicholas Michell, in an agreeable little poem, contrasts t4e rival charms of "Town and Country Beauties." BENTLEY.—There is a pleasant collection of mis cellaneous reading in this month's number. " Prest wood Papers" is continued, and the seventh part discusses Monsieur Jourdain, " his mercantile pedigree, his uncomteious facility in prose, and his fencing bout with Nicole." Dean Stanley's his torical memorials of Westminster Abbey form the subject of a very interesting criticism. L)adoners will henceforward know better how to appreciate their venerable Abbey. TEMPLE BAR.—" Steven Lawrence, Yeoman," is brought to a conclusion, and this last portion of it is most interestingly told. I'he reader finds him self brought face to face with active life and real feeling, after the glare of gaiety and the hollowness of fashionable life. The scene in the kitchen, where Steven lay apparently dying, is most impressively described ; the presence which sets ceremony at naught was upon Asliert, " and the convention alities of the world laid aside." A new story is commenced, called " Kitty ;" it promises well, and has same attractive characters. " The Story of Adeline" is a sad one, but it presents a warning to the giddy and perverse to abide by the counsels of those wiser than themselves. " Recollections of a Provincial Editor" are curious and are sure toattrac.t attention. "Curiosities of AlarriageL3W and Ritual" contain some noticeable incidents connected with the subject. " Cousin Fanny, or a New Year's Gift," is a pleasing sketch. " A Lost Name " concluded, and is equal to its predecessor in vivid ness of style and vigour of description. "On Lake Nicaragua" is an agreeable description, that gives an account of that part of the country in a style sure to please, and contains striking adven tures. " The Knight of -Innishowen" is a lively paper, and the verses, " Westward, Ho !" are very charmingly written, and really well done for that style of thing. The contents of this number arc varied, and present much to attract different classes of readers. MACMILLAN.--This number opens with a poem by the Laureate, respecting which the proprietors seem to be especially jealous. It is not in Mr. Teanyson's happiest vein, and will s , :tarcely succeed in touching the general heart. More satisfac tory is the fresh instalment of Mr. lielps'z " llealmah," where the pleasant '• Fri,‘nds iu Council' hold their old disputes nod discus sions. Miss Joyce's " Chaplet of Pearl s" proceeds with unabated interest. Toe poor young French bride has disappeared with, her protectors, all seemingly involved in one of the terrible catas trophes incidental to civil war. Tao reads, how ever, cherishes a hope that fortune in_ty smile on Berenger anfl Eastacie. The author of "John Halifax, Gentleman," contribatis a pleasant paper on "A City at Play," and Thomas Wentworth Higginson of Newport gives us sonic details of the American lecture system. " Workmen on the Thames and Elsewhere " is the title of an essay which deserves serious attention, while there is no fear that the account of the Abyssinian Expedition, given by Mr. Markham, the geographer to the Expedition, and secretary to the Royal Geographical Society, will want for readers. TILE OAK. Part I.—We, have here the first part of a new and pleasant serial, which promises well for the future. It has several well-known natws, among its contributors, _ant has had the good for tune to secure the graphic pencil of George Cruikshank as au illustrator. The old story of the philosopher and the acorn furnishcs an appropriate frontispiece to the first number of " The Oak." TILL' Hasa CHURCH. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. • THURSDAY. THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS. About one quarter of the excitement and barely a tithe of the people who spread themselves over the heath on Tuesday characterised " the ladies' day" at Newmarket The field for the One Thousand promised to bo small, as it generally is, but of a better quality than usual, though our "quality" has received such a rude shock lately one ought to be chary on giving an opinion on the subject. So much was said about the dust yesterday, and so much inconvenience felt frotn it, that a cart was procured to-day and the precincts o the stand were watered. It was a simple tLing, but so conservative is Newmarket that we aro not sure it was not regarded as on innovation. Only eight came to the post for the One Thousand Guineas, and of course Formosa was the favourite, though a good deal of money went on Lady Coventry. The race was wo❑ so easily that it needs little description. Athgna, Franchise, and Lady Coventry made most of the running, and Fur utona out mei won in a canter when Fordham dropped his hands. A much ta.i.er ;ad: has scarcely boen seen. Athena was second and Lady Coventry third. The remit does not, throw much more light on the Derby than the race oa Tuesday, as Formosa's victory was one over nun-stayers.

The start was delayed some time in consequence of Ben voglio repeatedly bieaking away, and running to the brow of the hill before he could be stopped. At last an opportunity offering Mr. M•George despatched them on their jotflatey to as admirable start, the 21 runners getting away nearly abreast, and rsu so to the brow of the hill, when they separated, and the running was then taken up by Pero, in company with Peggy, Rampart, Lady Blanche filly, and Jasper, in the centre of the course, Lucifer and Marmite, on opposite sides, being their immediate fol lowers. Those positions were retained over Bushes-hill, but half-way down the two leaders disappeared from the front, and Jasper, with Montbar, held a slight lead jute the Abingdon mile bottom, when they in turn gavo way, and Lucifer, full of running, came out in company with Marmite, but the latter dying away half-way in the rails left Lucifer to canter home the winner by five lengths; a bad third. Montbar was fourth, Furious fifth, Rampart sixth, Jasper seventh, and Angus next. The last lot were Benvoglio, Ines, Romping Girl, and Gloiro do Dijon.

Athena, in the centre of her horses, took up the running when fairly settled down to their work, attended by &au chits() and Lady Coventry, with Formosa lying about half a length in the rear. Wide on the left of these were seen the colours of Lady flighthorn, Virtue, and Sister to Ascliam, with Mysotis in the rear. No material alteration in these positions was observable until they entered the dip, when Franchise gavt) way. Furdham at the same time improved his position by drawing up to the girths of Mr. Padwick's filly, the pair running in company half-way in the cards. Here the loader and Lady Coventry gavo unmistakable evidence of tiring, when Fordham brought up the favourite, who had them beaten in the next half dozen strides, and cantered home the winner by three lengths. A similar distance separated the second and third. Lady Highthorn was an indifferent fourth, a head in advance of Virtue; Franchise was sixth, Sister to Aschsm, seventh, and Mysotis last, widely separated.

Sin,—Well, the Opposition are determined . to go on wasting the time and energies of this exhausted and dying Parliament. Not one particle of wit or wisdom will they learn or be taught. But now another most important question forces itself upon our notice, and that is, cui Mono, what is the use of their Irish Church motion during the present ses sion and by this existing Parliament? Can it be possible that Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone are se ignorant of the history of their country as not to know that there are, and always have been, such periods as exceptional sessions, i.e., sessions when it was utterly impossible to bring forward any really great and important measures of reform and pro gress. What progress did Catholic Emancipation or Parliamentary Reform make during that old, long French war, from 1793 to the ever-memorable and decisive battle of Waterloo in 1815, a period of well nigh a quarter of a century? But it was not on this account that those two great and important measures were not deemed necessary and essential. It was simply because the nation was by far too much engaged in the great war then raging to give proper attention to them. As I remarked in my last letter to you a month ago there is a time for all things, and the present is about the very worst time that could by any possibility have been selected for the discussion of the Irish Protestant Church. The great Lord Chesterfield lays it down that a favour may be conferred in such a manner that it will amount to the grossest insult that can possibly bo offered. And all Roman Catholics who possess any m the Whigs towards their r o e r N y v of the nbedy duringofviother last 20, 30, or 40 ye a r s , cannot possibly arrive at any other conclusion than that the present conduct of the Whigs in bringing forward the question of the endowment or diien dowment of the Irish Protestant Church i s at once a direct insult ts their entire body. Why, iu the name of common sense, di I they never bring for ward the question during the J 0 years thty wure in power for they have been at least ie office, during fully those above -named number of years during thu present century s i nce t h e i r fi rst acce4sion to educe in November, 1830, after their long resilence on the Opposition b enc h es. I :f u ll well remember, 17 years ago, in 1851, the year of our ever-memorable Great Exhibition, when the whole Roman Catholic body, both in England and Ireland, were foaming, and justly foaming, with indignation at Lord Rus sell's insolent Durham Letter of the previous (November, 1850). I say I perfectly well remem ber hearing a R oman Catholic priest, a personal acquaintance of mi ne , ca ll L or d John Russell, as he then was, a politi ca l t i n k er, b eca use, this aforesaid priest said, he si mp l y made use of Catholicism to suit his own politi ca l en d s. N ow , I beg leave to ask, would Lord Russ e ll, or any o f hi s political friends, have dared to bri ng f orwar d suc h a question as is now exciting su c h a discussion in 18 50 or 1851 ? No ; he would no more h ave t h oug ht of doing such a thing than of driving a coach and six over the moon. The country would have been up in arms in a moment, so great and strong was the Protestant feeling at that time, brought on in a great measure by Lord Russell's violent Durham letter. It suited the 'Whigs at that time to toady to the ultra-Pro testants. Now, however, as the fashion of this world passeth away, and all the angry ultra-Pro testant feelings of 1850, 1851, and 1852 have passed away, and are consigned to the tomb of all the Capulets, Lord Russell finis it very convenient to return to all his old Catholic sympathies of the days of his youth. It is a good thing there arc people in the world with good memories in order to remind their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects what has been the conduct of Lord Russell towards them during the last 30 years—how he betrayed them at the first profitable opportunity, and as on the principle that what man has done once there is a fair probability he will do again, as our doings come round like the solar and lunar cycl es , the rising and setting of the s un, the new and full moon s, the full and low tides, figures in circulating d ec i m als, or any of those cer tain and immutable laws which an all-wise Creator has laid down for the everlasting benefit of his creature man, I entreat Roman Catholics of Great Britain to put not their trust in Whigs or. Whiggery, for there is no health, strength, or confidence to be placed in auy of them. They are, as the old song s ays, merely fooling theni. Now, in 1868, as in 1828, they want to ge t all they can out of the Ca tholics, and doubtless they will rally to the side of u l tra -Protestantiszn again at the first profitable op p en treat t u nihte Catholics . Again,therefore, let me earnes tly them twice. I remain, Sir, yours, 8 4 e., to A L O VER AND OBSERVER OF H ISTORICAL DATES AND F ACTS.

On the present occasion the' majority consisted of 322 Liberals and eight Conserva tives ; the minority was made up of 260 Conservatives and five Liberals. The eight ConsCrvatives who voted with Mr. Gladstone were Lord Bingham, Mr. Butler-Johnstone, Mr. Earle, Mr. Leader, Sir Joseph M`Kenna, Mr. M`Lagan, Mr. George Morris, and Colonel Vandeleur. With the excep tion of Mr. Butler-Johnstone and Mr. Earle, they repre sent Irish constituencies. Lord Bingham, Mr. Butler- Johnstone, Mr. Earle, Sir J. MlCenna, and Mr. Morris supported Mr. Gladstone in both divisions of April 4 ; Mr. M`Lagan then voted with the Government in the first— with the Opposition in the second ; while neither Mr. Leader nor Colonel Vandeleur touk part in either of those divisions. The five Liberals who now voted with Ministers were Mr. Antrobus, Lord.Cremorne, Lord Elcho, Mr. Saunder son, and Mr. Wyld. With the exception of Lord Elcho, who did not vote in the second division of April 4, but supported the Government in the first, these five hon. members took the same side then that they have now. Three more Liberals who then voted with the Ministry— Mr. Briscoe, Sir James Matheson, and Mr. Maxwell - took no part in the second division. The secessions from each party have been exactly reversed. A month ago, eight Liberals and five Conserva tives went over to the opposite sides ; now the numbers are respectively eight Conservatives and five Liberals. The following Liberals who paired in favour of Mr. Gladstone's motion on April 4 now voted with their party :—Sir H. W. Barron, Mr. W. B. Beaumont, Mr. Duudas, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. G. C. Glyn, Sir G. Grey, Mr. Jackson, Lord Milton, Mr. Norwood, Mr. Tite, and Sir Hedworth Williamson. Mr. Henry Seymour, who then paired, was not present on this occasion. The Liberals who neither voted nor paired on April 4, and now went into the lobby with Mr. Gladstone, were the Hon. W. P. Carington (since returned for Wycombe), Mr. Julian Goldsmid (returned from his wedding tour), and Mr. Jar dine (then absent through domestic affliction). On the other hand, the following Conservatives who paired against Mr. Gladstone's motion on the last occa sion now supported their party in person:—Sir P. Barrel', Mr. Barrow, the Chancillor of the l'Achequer, Mr. Kennard, the Hon. H. P. Liddell, Mr. Long, Sir John Pakington, Lord Henry Percy, Mr. Toleinache, and Mr. C. W. Wynn. - Lord Henry Scott anal Mr. Jones, who then paire 1, wdre now absent. The Conservatives who then neither voted nor paired, and now went with the Government, were Mr. Lopes, Lord Mahon, Mr. Miles, Major Green Thompsin, and Mr. Tumor (since returned fur Launceston, Leomin ster, Bristol, Cockermouth, and Grantham), and Mr. H. B. Baring. As to the complexion of the last-named hon. member's politics, there is, we believe, some doubt ; bat as he describes himself as a Liberal Conservative, was a Lord of the Treasury in the Government of Sir Robert Peel, and voted against Lord Russell's Reform Bill, there can be very little mistake in classifying him as a member of the Conservative party. • Sir Roundell Palmer, who neither voted nor paired in the last division, was again an absentee. Lord Ernest Bruce and Sir Robert Peel, who on April 4 voted with Mr. Gladstone in one division only, did not now go with their party. Mr. Miller, the member for Leith, who then led Mr. Trail into the wrong lobby in the second division, now voted with Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Traill was not present. Mr. Sandford, who last time abstained from voting in the first division and in the second supported Ministers, did not now vote. Lord Eustace Cecil, Sir William Heathcote, Mr. Beresford Hope, Sir Rainald Knightley, and General Peel went into the lobby with the Government. So also did Sir Thomas Hesketh and the Hon. Captain Stanley, the members for Preston, who lately wrote to their consti tuents to point out the impossibility of maintaining the Irish Church as it at present exists. Besides Sir Roundell Palmer, the following Liberals were absent from both the struggles on this question Mr. Brocklehurst, an octogenarian; Mr. Brown, one of the members for Earl Fitzwilliam's pocket borough of Halton ; Sir G. Colthurst, who sits for the little town of Kinsale, in the county of Cork; Mr. Fort, ill; the Messrs. Mackinnon, who represent respectively Rye and Lymington ; Colonel Packe, chairman of _the Great Northern Railway, and member for South Lincoln ; Mr. Pim, M.P. for Dublin ; Colonel Pryse, the representative of the Cardigan boroughs ; and Sir Thomas Winnington, the. member fur Bewdley. The Liberals who voted with Mr. Gladstone on April 4 and did not appear on Thursday night, were Mr. R. M. Biddulph, Sir R. Bulkeley, Sir M. J. Cholmeley, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Fitzwilliam, Mr. W. B. Hughes, Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen, Sir T. Lloyd, Mr. M`Evoy, Mr. Marsh, Mr. P. W. Martin, Mr. Nicholson, The O'Conor Don, and Mr. Parry. The forthcoming list of pairs will no doubt account for many absentees. The non-attendance of Mr. Hugessen, a former Liberal Whip, was doubtless attributable to his having on the same day fought a hard though an unsuccessful battle for his party in East Kent, and to his conviction that Mr. Glyn was not very hardly pressed for one vote. - _ The Conservatives who voted with the Government a month ago and were not present now were the Right Hon. Henry Baillie, Colonel Barttelot, the Earl of Bec-, tive, Mr. Bowen, Lord Curzon, Colonel Dickson, General Dunne, Mr. Dn Pre, Mr. G. J. King, Captain Lowther, Mr. Pugh, Sir M. W. Ridley, Lord H. Thynne, and Col. Tottenham. Sir Brook Bridges, Sir John Walsh, Sir John Trollope, and Lord Cranborne, who then voted, are now peers. Mr. Miles Gaskell, a moderate Conservative, has voted on neither occasion. The Cave of Adullam of 1866 was, as in the previous division, represented by three members only out of the two score and more which then overthrew Mr. Gladstone. These wereLordElcho,Mr. Saunderson, and Mr.Wyld. The Tea-room of last year had not a single representative, Mr. Briscoe, the solitary member of that party voting in April, being now absent. Of the great families repre sented in the House of Commons, the houses of Caven dish, Grosvenor, and Russell voted in a body with the Liberals, while the Fitzwilliam interest was, as usual, represented by one out of three. On the other side, four members of the house of Egerton, two of the house of Stanley, two out of three of the house of Lowther, the brother and the two sons of the. Marquis of Abercorn, two Lowry Coles, two Oemsby Gores, two members of the Lopes family, two•brothers of the. Duke of Richmond, two brothers of the Duke of Rutland, two kinsmen of Lord Tredegar, two relatives of the Du ke of 13eaufort, two Sturts, two of the Surtees family , two Verners, two Wyndhams, and three Wynns , ar e found swelling the ranks of the Government supporters. The division was taken in a House of 601 members — precisely the same number as on the o M f Aprilodson, the . As the H ou se was in committee at the tim e sker. The seat at A D c hairman, did not vote, nor did the Sp e Stamford was the o nl y one practically vacant. In East return had not been made, and Mr. Ramsay, Kent the -elected mem ber for the Stirling Burghs, had the newly not taken hits got. NOTICE.

Ho regretted what would have to b done, for considering the tone that had already been consumed in erecting those buildings that now existed, he did not knOw how long it would be before the others were completed. He did not see how there could be any regular or otnamental plan unless that portion facing Whitehall formed the portion of a quadrangle. After a few words from the Earl of MALMESBUEY the Subp!et then dropped. The Friendly Societies Bill was read a second time. The Compulsory Church Rates Abolition Bill was re ferred to a select committee. Their lordships then adjourned. Lt.diDON GAZETTE—TIIIS EVENING.
