John Joseph Smith was placedlin the dock, in dicted for the wilful murder of Daniel Bradstock. When the prisoner was called upon to plead he gave unmistakeable evidence of a disordered state of mind, and the surgeon of the gaol said he was clearly of opinion that the prisoner was labouring under insanity, and therefore quite unable to under stand the importance of the questions put to him. The learned judge then directed the prisoner to be removed and detained until her Majesty's plea sure was known. The prisoner said be had been and was constantly being followed about by persons whose deliberate intention was to murder him. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) THE CASE OF THOMAS EDGELEY. • An application was male this morning by Mr. Sleigh, on the part of the defendant, for a further postponement, on the ground of continued illness of a material witness. Mr. Giffard opposed the application, on the ground that there had been so many postponements that he despaired of the trial ever coming off. The learned Judge directed that certain affidavits be furnished before he decided to grant the appli cation. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. Isabella Davidson was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant child. The prisoner was a laundress, and it appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had for some time paid a Mrs. Stokes 3s. 6d. a week for the sup port of the child, but that an increased demand had been made upon her, when, on the night of the 20th of May, the prisoner went to the residence of Mrs. Stokes, in Sladesdale-street, Chelsea, and took away the child, which was found dead the follow. ing morning in the garden of a house in the Ful ham-road. When the prisoner was taken into custody she exclaimed, " Shall I be hung ; shall I be hung !" The medical evidence was to the effect that death bad been occasioned by suffocation, but it was not impossible that it might not have been caused acci dentally, although in the present case the ligatures which had been found tied round the child's neck and head were quite sufficient to cause death. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. MARKETS-7HIS DAY. CORN. At mark-lane this morning there was only moderate arrivals of grain of any kind, and the tone of the market firm. English wheat was quite as dear as on Monday, bul with a limited sale. English barley in short supply, and firm. A fair arriya . of foreign, and demand quiet. Beans and peas unaltered. Oats in steady request, at the previous value.

DEATH OF WEATHERBIT.—The stallion Weather bit has just died at Mr. Blenkiron'a branch stud farm at Waltham Cross. He was foaled in 1342, and was con sequently rising 27 years old. The late Mr. Gully bred him from Sheet Anchor and Miss Letty, who was by Priam out of an Orville mare. He was a beautifal brown horse, which colour he generally transmitted to his stock, and his yearlings came early to maturity ; in fact, they were too much set as youngsters. He was not placed in the Derby in 1815 (Merry Monarch's year), when Mr. Gully also had Old England engaged. His performances call for no special remark, and for a long time he was neglected at the stud until Mr. Bloukiron bought him, and did very well with his stock at the Middle Park yearling sales. The most renowned of his progeny was Beadsman (the sire of Blue Gown, Bosicrucian, Green Sleeve, &c.), with whom Sir Joseph Hawley wou the Derby in 1838 ; but be sides him he got Weatherbound, Neptunus, Brown Bread, Prince Arthur, and Mandrake. Although Weatherbit had beautiful thighs and quarters, he was rather light in the girth, and his stock, with the above exceptions, wore mo derate. Until lately ho had been located at Easby Abbey, and it is supposed that he never fully r ecovered from the journey from Yorkshire to Waltham Cross. Mr. Blank iron put some of his best mares to him, and we believe the last of his stock will be sold at the ensuing sales at Middle Park. THE INVENTOR OF ENVELOPES. —About forty years ago there lived at Brighton a bockseller and sta tioner of the name of S. K. Brewer, and he used to place in his shop-window piles of paper, beginning at the largest up to the then smallest size, 16mo ; but to finish off the pile ho cut cards so as to bring them up to a point. Ladies used to go in and ask for that " deaolittle paper," which in duced him to cut paper in small sizes. Then came the difficulty of the place for address; and the result was he invented the envelope, and had metal plates made for cut ting them to shape and sizes. This just pleased the ladies, and orders came to him for the little paper and envelopes from all parts. This at length became such a demand upon his time, that he got Dobbs and Co., of London, to make them for him. Such was the beginning of the envelope trade.—Stationer.

ASCOT RACES—TUESDAY. This Royal meeting commenced under the most favour able auspices, and the results of the racing will long b 3 memorable for the easy defeat of :he flying Achievement and the overthrow of Julius, who was thought the best horse of his year. , As usual the Stand was graced by the presence of Royalty, tho Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince of Denmark, the Prince and Princess Teck, Prince and Princess Christian, the Duke of Cam bridge, and their respective suites arriving on the course from Titness Castle shortly after one o'clock, escorted by Lord Colville, Master of the Buckhounds, awl a numerous retinue of outriders. The Royal party was greeted with much cheering on driving up the course tc the Stand. The weather was as favourable as could be desired ; but the course would have been greatly benefited by rain, as in most places the going was very hard, more especially on the far side. In the straight, however, the water cart had been freely used, and hence it was in better order. The eight events on the prograinme commenced with the Trial Stakes, for which there were only four absentees from the full list of 17 subscribers, and a good race resulted in the first of a list of turns-up for the fielders, as the winner was not even mentioned in the ring. The filly, however, did not change hands, the entered selling price, £6OO, appear , ing too high to tempt a purchaser. No fewer than 26 went to the post for the Maiden Plate, Sir Joseph Hawley's Vagabond being freely supported; but the c olt never s howed prominently in th e race , which was won on the post by a head by Vestminster, backed by all the know in g ones. Suffolk, Speculum, and Tyndale were the absen tees for the Gold Vase, which was a beautiful work of art, consisting of a large salver, with an alto-relieve design iu the centre, the subject being selected from Sir Walter Scott's " Marmion." The prophets almost to a man had gone for Julius, considering that he held the rest perfectly safe ; but, as will be seen from the appended report, he was beaten from end to end by Blinkhoolie, and only secured second position on the post. Although Mr. Chap lin's horse seemed to win remarkably easy, on his return to the saddling enclosure it was seen that he bore marks of punishment. There was a great falling off in the num ber of starters for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, as only eight of the sixty-one on the card faced the starter. The race was a most interesting and exciting affair, as the second horse in the Derby mot the Oaks winner in For mosa, and the Two Thousand dead-heater in Moslem. Baron Rothschild declared to win with King Alfred. After the Queen's Stand Plato, won by Xi, who gave the favourite 3st and a beating, and the Eleventh Biennial, which needs no special comment, the Ascot Stakes pro duced 15 runners out of the score coloured. Lord Palmer ston made the running for two miles, and was then beaten, and, what was rumoured a really good thing, the Maid of Masham mare, won a good race. Immediately after this race the Royal party left the course, and no little interest was excited by the last race of the day, for which Achieve ment and Taraban were j oined b y Mandrake. The famous mare suffered defeat by the Liv erpool Cup hero, as she died away when, to all appearances, she was winning easily. Taraban had no chance. Appended is a return of the running : The Trial Stakes of 5 SOV each, with 100 added ; two year olds 6st lib, three Bst 71b, four 9st 91b, five and upwards lOst ; mares and geldings allowed 31b; the winner to be sold for 600 says ; if for 200 allowed 51b, unless exemption from being sold is claimed at the time of entrance, and horses for whic h this claim is made 91 b extra.

After a slight delay at the post, caused by the anxiety of some of the jockeys t o get away, ih o flag was lowered to a good start. In a few strides Lopez, in the centre of the course, assumed a lead of Vestminster, Melody, and Lord Glasgow's filly coining Mr. Chaplin's colt ; La R ose, Chaperon colt, Bretby, and Vaga bond lying wide on the r i g h t in the rear o f Miss Nellie and The Rajah. This lot f ormed the l oa di ng division, Lopez next, St. Mango and having the command for half the distance, when Vestmin ster took the lead, and was joined at the commencement of the Stand enclosure by Miss Nellie, The Rajah, who had been lying prominently up, s i mu l taneous ly taking a more improved position on th e right of Mi ss N e lli e . Vestmin ster, however, retained th e advantage t o th e end, and won, a fter a slashing rac e , by a head; The Rajah was a bad third: Acaster was fourth, Conrad fifth, St. Mungo sixth, and Vagabond seventh.

In this w ay they ran until rou ndi ng the turn beyond the Stand, w h ere Blinkhoolie increased his advant age to at least half a dozen lengths, and Dalesman ran into second place, th e Miss Sarah colt l y in g last. Going down the hill Dalesman ran up to the neck of Blinkhoolie, and the pair ran on side by side, two lengths in front of Julius, who was twice that distance in ad vance of the Miss Sarah colt, until reaching the Swinley Mile Bottom. here Blinkhoolie again shot out and held a lead of at least three lengths of his horses to the mile post, where Dalesman again drew up to the quarters of Mr • ' horse, and Lord Glasg ow , Chaplin s s colt, who had been four lengths in the rear of Julius, joined the leaders as they came into the straight. When fairly in the line for home Julius was in difficulties, and B linkhoolie, drawing away, won in a canter by six lengths. Julius, who was eas3d when perseverance was hopeless, only passed the post a neck in advance of Lord Glasgow's colt. Dalesman was last, beaten some distance.

Betting - 9 to 1 agst Formosa, 4 to 1 each agst Moslem and King Alfred, 7 to 1 agst Restitution, 100 to 8 agst Tympanum. Lady Elizabeth, the moment the flag fell, jumped away with a slight lead of Restitution and Tympanum, hut after about 100 yards had been accomplished, the running was taken up by Tympanum, Lady Elizabeth following about a neck in his rear just in advance of Purveyor, who was succeeded by Formosa, the Baron's pair bringing up the rear. In this order at a moderate pace they ran down the hill to the Swinley Mile Bottom, Tympanum still maintaining a slight lead of Lady Elizabeth, who a few strides further was joined by Formosa. Approaching the site of th , lime kilns Formosa took up the running, at the same time improving the pace, and the most noticeable change that occurred in the positions of the others was the advance ment into second place of Alortemer, Lady Elizabeth dropping into the company of the Baron's pair, but before reaching the mile post she was dead beaten and retired into the rear. At the mile post Moslem fell back slightly, and half a mile from home Restitution deprived Formosa of the command, coming into the straight with a slight advan tage of Moslem on the outside, and King Alfred, who had emerged from the rear in making the bend, on his right. Directly they got into the straight King Alfred took up the running, and having beaten Moslem at the commence ment of the Stand enclosure, won very easily by a length, three-quarters of a length dividing second and third ; Tympauutn was fourth, twenty lengths in rear of whom was Purveyor fifth, who was two lengths ahead of Formosa sixth, Mortemer being next, and Laiy Elizabeth walked i n.

The Diomedia f, in the centre of the course, made the running, closely followed by the Ver tumna colt and Tenedos, who were also in the centre, Sister t) Hermit and Electricity being on the left. On the other side, level with these, were Lord Hawthorn, The Clipper, and Nelson. In this order they ran until reaching the commencement of the Stand enclosure, when the Diomedia filly gave way, and the Vertumna colt took up the running, and stalling off the Diomedia filly, won cleverly by a length and a half ; Tenedos was three lengths in rear of the Diomedia filly ; Sister to Hermit was fourth, clear of Brambridge, Lord Hawthorn, and Alpenstock, who were together, in advance of Little Nell, The Clipper and Nelson being last.

The start was delayed a few minutes owing to the frac tiousness of Demonstration, who, directly they reached the post, bolted. Immediately on rejoining his horses a good start was effected, Guy of Warwick, in the centre of the course, cutting out the work, the leading division com prising Duet, Whitworth, the Vertumna filly, and De monstration stretching from the left, while . Lais, Casse Tete, and Lord Palmerston extended from the right, the rear being brought up by Lord Glasgow's horse. In this order they ran till reaching the Stand, when Guy of Warwick gave way to Lord Palmerston, who, on passing the Stand enclosure, assumed a clear lead of Casse Tete and Duet, Lais heading the remainder, who came on in a body, the last lot being Wild Briar, the Vertumna filly, Stratagem, and the Strafford's dam horse. After rounding the hotel turn Lord Palmerston increased his advantage, and Wild Briar ran through her horses and took second place, Duet and Casse Tete going on third and fourth, clear of a body of horses, which comprised Child of the Islands, tho Maid of Masham mare, and Mille. Stra tagem and Lord Glasgow's horse were still in the rear, but before reaching the Swinley Mile Bottom they were joined by Whitworth, who, on nearing the milepost, was hope lessly beaten, and fully a hundred yards in rear of every thing else. In the Swiuley Mile Bottom Wild Briar ran up to the head of Lord Palmerston, and the pair, disputing the lead with each other, were at least two lengths in advance of Casse Tete and Duet, the field at this point being widely scattered. Before reaching the old mile-post the Maid of Masham mare took a mere improved position, and immediately after passing the point indicated Wild Briar obtained a slight advantage of Lord Palmerston, the pair now being succeeded by Runic and Maid of Masham mare, Hippia and Child of the Islands, who followed at clear intervals, only half of the remainder being left in the race with any chance of success. Before reaching the straight Lord Palmerston again obtained an advantage of the Maid of Masham mare and entered the run for home with a slight lead. On rounding the bend Wild Briar gave way, an example which was followed immediately afterwards by Lord Palmerston, and the Maid of Masham mare was left with the lead, which she gradually increased, and won in a canter by three lengths, Ruric finishing two lengths in front of Lord Palmerston; Child of the Islands was fourth, Hippia fifth, Wild Briar Sixth, the Vertumna filly seventh, Stratagem eighth, Demonstration ninth; Lord Glasgow's horse, Casse Tete, and Duet, in a cluster, came next, separated by long intervals, the last of all being Whitworth, who finished fully 200 yards in the rear of Duet. The Fourteeenth Ascot Triennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added; for four year olds; colts Bst 101 b; fillies Bst 51b ; starters and not been placed first or se cond in either the two or three year olds Triennial allowed 51b this year; maidens allowed 71b ; the second to receive a sum equal to 10;per cent. on the whole stake, and the third to save his stake ; once round in, starting opposite the Grand Stand. 41 subs.

Taraban cut out the work at a fair pace, having a length's lead of Achievement, at whose quarters was Mandrake, until reaching the Swinley Mile Bottom, where the three closed, and came on upon almost equal terms till making for the straight. Here Taraban gave way, and Achievement was left with a slight lead, and appeared to be winning easily till rising the hill at the com mencement of the stand enclosure, where she was in difficulties, and Osborne calling on Mandrake, he came away, and won cleverly by half a length; Taraban was a bad third.

Thomas Russell, a bookmaker, this year did in a small way the same thing, was accused of keeping a betting-house, and of betting, and was on Monday fined £lOO, with the alternative of six. months' imprisonment. Moreover, all persons found betting with him were arrested,and owed their discharge to the lenity of the magistrate ; the papers which record the trial recording also the vast meeting at Tatter sall's to settle bets, the big bookmakers sitting quite openly at special desks, with their books and piles of bank notes before them. Has no one of the men fined pluck enough or humour enough to lay au information against Tattersall's, and try, once for all, whether there aro two systems of law in England ?—Spectator. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COADIONS.—(Tats DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tho (jerk and Macroon (Direct) Railway Bill (Lords), and the Rathkeale and Newcastle Junction Railway Bill (Lords), were read a second time. THE REVENUE OFFICERS DISABILITIES RE- MOVAL BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. MONK (who presented several petitions from re venue officers in different parts of the United Kingdom) first commented on the appearance of the Ministerial and front Opposition benches, which were at that time empty. The hon. member was about to address the house when the Opposition requested him to " move." He immediately moved that the bill be read a second time. -- This having been seconded, the motion was put from the chair, and was carried withuut a division amid con siderable cheering from the members on the Opposition side. THE MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. 11. C. LOPES said he believed no measure had been brought into the house in so plausible a manner a:: had this bill by the hon. and learned member for Reading. He thought the bill was of a very revolutionary character, and would throw discord and distrust between husbands and wives where harmony and concord now exist. The hon. and learned member for Reading had said that a bill similar to this had been in use in the United States, but he denied that there was a similarity between the cases of the two countries. lie denied that there was any analogy between the law of settlement and the giving of unconditional control over the property by the woman immediately she married. He traced the liability of the husband under the existing law, and he contended there was nothing either unjust. or unfair in it. The law had worked satisfactorily for very many years, and he appealed to the heads of families if thera was necessity for the introduction of such a bill as this. He instanced the effect it would have on the upper and lower or industrial classes. Among the upper classes it would have no effect whatever, because a settlement would still be made. Supposing, for instance, a woman is ex travagant, and her husband is deeply attached to her, the woman runs into debt, and according to this bill she is liable to be sued, and in case her husband does not pay the debt, she is liable to be sent to prison. Would a man, so deeply attached to his wife, allow his wife to be sent to prison ? Most decidedly not. He referred to the cases of Mrs. Lyon and Mrs. l3orradaile ; he said in any similar cases in future great dissension would exist among the reWions of such people. Referring to the industrial classes he said very frequently the women were married without having anything in the world, and when they had to incur the expenses for the tura of the household, did the hon. and learned member intend that the wife should be taken into custody? He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time time that day six months. Mr. E. K. KARSLAKE opposed the bill for the same reasons as had been advanced by the hon. member (Mr. Lopes.) He criticised the various clauses of the bill, and showed that there was not the slightest necessity for some of them, and the others were quite inconsistent with the professed objects of the'bill. Mr. HEA.DLA M supported the bill. Mr. GOLDNEY admitted the law ought to be remedied, but he could not imagine there was the slightest necessity for carrying the law to such an extreme as was contem plated by this bill. The grave thing he contended was that it would establish an interest in the household entirely separate from that of the husband. Mr. POLLARD-URQUHART instanced examples where husbands had laid their bands on the property of their Nvivep, and had gone to the Continent and there squandered it, and he thought such a law demanded some alteration. LEFT SPEAKING. HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his soat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, Halifax Corpo ration Waterworks, London and South Western Railway, Downpatrick, Dundrum, and Newcastle Railway; Gas Light and Coke Company Bills were read a second time. Humber Conservancy BM, with amendments, was read a third time and passed. ARMY CHAPLAINS' BILL. Lord LONGFORD moved the second reading of this bill. It had been found necessary to appoint army chap lains in certain districts, and the parochial clergy objected to those chaplains that, though they ware the officers of the Crown ; they were in reality intruders. By a late decision in fav'our of the parochial clergy this had been found to be so, and the present bill proposed to make these military chaplains extra parochial, and thus with the consent of the bi bop of the diocese do away with the objection. The most reverend primate had con sented to the bill, and it was to meet these exigencies that the bill was framed. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER, said that in absence of the most rev. primate ho would suggest that it would be more desirable that the question should be referred to a Select Committee. The Earl DE GREY and RIPON said that the army chaplains were officers of the Crown, and therefore he did not think that they ought to be under the control of the bishop of the diocese. The Bishop of LONDON suggested that it would be advisable to have a committee of the whole house on the bill. Lord LONGFORD said that the bill had already been 'ully considered, and he thought that it would be advisable that it should be read a second time. Tho bill was then road a second time. The lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 12 o'clock. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the .second reading of this bill, which was to enable the Go vernment to acquire the electric telegraphs, and working them in connection with that of the Post-office. It would take between three and four millions of money to pur chase existing rights, and if the principle of the bill was affirmed he should bring in a money bill to provide for the purchase money. He proposed to make use of the money deposited in the Post-office savings banks as far as was consistent, and also to raise money on terminable annuities at 29 years, and also some of the money would be raised on bills and bonds, in order that the Post-office savings banks might not be in the least inconvenienced. The surplus profit of the arrangement would amount to £210,000 per annum, and that taken at 31 per cent. would be quite sufficient to pay off the whole cost ,in 20 years. He thought the greatest rublio advantage would result from the arrangement, and therefore he hoped the house would agree to the second reading of the bill. Mr. LEEMAN moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He contended that the proposal was one of the most dangerous descrip tion, and one which he hoped the house would not for a moment countenance. It had been said that the public end the i press would benefit by th e bill , b u t h e con tended t would result in no such thing. The public at present were well served; and, as for the press, it already received as great privileges as the post-office, sup posing they were to become possessed of the telegraphs, could give them. The petitions that had been got up in favour of the bill had all been instigated by the post-office, and did not at all show the real feeling of the public press on the matter. As far as the general public was concerned he did Rot think that they would much appreciate an arrangement by which every telegram they might receive would be placed in the hands of the Go vernment. They must all recollect the outburst of indignation when Sir James Graham opened the letters of Mazzini, and now that it was proposed to do the same thing on a large scale he hoped the house would step in and prevent such a thing being done. He contended that the objects of the bill were en tirely opposed to the instincts of the national character of the people of England, who, he believed, he was correct in saying did not appreciate the mode of working the telegraphs adopted on the Continent. Abroad it was impossible to send a telegraph without its first having been submitted to the Government authorities, whilst in Paris no less than four copies of every telegram were made and for warded to each of the bureaux. The proposal, he felt justified in saying, was most repugnant to the feelings of the general public, who were not yet quite agreeable that everything that was either done or contemplated should be conned over and considered by any Govern ment. The telegraph companies had acted most liberally to the public, the public wore satisfied, and therefore he hoped the house would reject the bill. It might be thought that he had au interest iu the matter, but he begged to as sure the house that he was in uo way connected with any of the great telegraph companies, but that he had taken up the matter purely on public grounds, being per suaded that the bill was ono opposed to the feelings and interests of the people geneially—(hear, hear)—as he did not believe that the sole object of the Government wai to reduce the present charge to au uniform telegraphic rate of one shilling: After a reconsideration of the whole of the circumstances connected with the bill, instead of moving the rejection of the measure, he would, with the permission of the house, substitute for his motion the pro posal that the bill be referred to a select committee. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said the speech of the hon. mem ber for York was entitled to the most serious attention of the Government, but it appeare d to him that his argu ments were all in favour of the bill, though he took some objection to the manner in which the subject had been treated. To say that the measure was hastily brought forward was not correct, and, doubtless, if it was the desire to defeat the bill, that could be accomplished, but it appeared to him the most straightforward course would be to take the opinion of the house on the second reading of the bill. It was said that the sidill traders would be sacrificed for large capitalists; that he did not believe, the more so, as precisely the same arguments had bean used when it was at first proposed to introduce the penny postage system. Mr. CRA WFORD said he was placed in a position of some difficulty, because it was said the mea sure was brought forward to benefit the trading community. He was interested in two ways in the matter, and therefore, though he could not vote for the rejection of the bill, he would readily support a motion the object of which was to have a thorough investiga tion of the whole subject. He would like to know whether the Government wore to have a complete mono poly in the matter, and if they wore going to undertake to report for the newspapers. Ho did not think, had such an arrangement been in operation, the speeches of the right hon. member for South Lancashire would be reported at such length as those of the right hon. gentleman the leader of the house. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. LIDDELL was in favour of the subject being thoroughly considered by a select committee. Mr. ULA.DS TONE said there were various matters that might be urged with great effect in favour of the bill, and amongst them the fact that the whole of the telegraphs were to be managed by one department, which would be a great saving of expense, but there were other circumstances that called for their most careful consideration before they gave their assent to a proposal such as that now be fore the house. Before any positive opinion was expressed on the measure, it seemed to him to be absolutely necessary that there should be more in vestigation of the subject than there had been. There were various other matters that created much difficulty in his mind ; and one, an old woman's super stition it might be, was, whether it was perfectly clear that all political intelligence, especially on the eve of a general election, could with safety be placed in the hands of Government. He was not so certain upon that point, and therefore he wanted more light and knowledge. It might be said that manyof the fears that had been expressed were groundless, but there was a matter that he confessed he looked upon with some degree of anxiety, and that was the provisions that were to be taken with regard to pri ority of political intelligence ; that matter might on some occasions bo of the greatest political importance—(hear) —and as at all events more information was required on that as well as on other points, he should vote for the bill being referred to a select committee. Mr. AYRTON was addressing the house against the bill when the sitting of the house was suspended. The house resumed at six o'clock. EX-GOVERNOR E YRE. Mr. LAMONT asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether her Majesty's Government now considered that the criminal prosecution against Mr. Eyre was con- eluded, and whether they were prepared to defray the legal expenses Mr. Eyre had s incurred in defending him self. Mr. DISRAELI conic' not give an answer to the first part of the question, but after the indictment was thrown out the Secretary of State had written to Ex-Governor Eyre, asking him the amount of the expenses he had been put to. Mr. LAMONT asked whether Mr. Eyre would be pro tected against further prosecutions of the Jamaica CoMmittee. Mr. DISRAELI said he could give no answer to a hypothetical question. Mr. LAMONT said he should not bring forward his motion on the subject that evening, but postpone it until Friday next. Sir H. VERN EY moved an address to her Majesty for a Royal Commission to inquire into and report upon the capability for settlement of, and the best moans of settling the, territory lying between Lake Superior and the Pacific Ocean. After some discussion -of a desultory character, the mo ion was withdrawn. Leave was given to bring in several bills, and on the motion for going into committee on a contested measure the house was "counted out" at a somewhat early hour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.
