With the com petition out of doOrs, at rates a to h per cent. below the official minimum, it is natural to presume that the great bulk of paper is negotiited, if possible, for the lower quotations. Although operations may be brought forward to raise capital both for government and colonial interprise, no renewal of pressure is immediately antici pated.

It attracts parties from far and near, and yesterday it drew to the Chester Race-course upwards of 100,000 spectators. From an early hour in the morning, all was bilstle and excitement in the usually tlitiet am city. The 1ti& t ..06 Was the point of attraction, where all isaistered to watch the movements and capabilities of their respective favourites, which were " out " for gentle exercise preparatory to the great event which was shortly to decide the fate of thousands (L's). The carious special, ordinary, and excursion trains, which are annually "put on" by the railway companies, poured forth their living streams from an early hour, making it almost a matter of iniposiiibility to " make way" through the ancient thoroughfares. The Birken head Company tad special trains as quickly as they filled, and the London and North-western also ran specials" from Liverpool and Manchester. The Great Western likewise participated in the increase of traffic, as also did the Chester and Holtilsasaid Company in conveying the Etherald division, but our Welsh friends are not much in the way of turf pursuits. The road was also Well patronieed by the Liverpool better class, as smart fours-in-hand followed each other in rapid succession. The weather was lovely, the sky radiant with smiles, and was most favourable to the enjoyment of the vast number of holiday people who always enjoy thamselises at Chester races. The attendance inolUded a large number of the fair sexy whore elegant dresses added considerable bright n'ets to the animating scene. Altogether, the great con course which had assembled presented a coup d' mil never to be forgotten. The picturesque and verdant Roodee, lined in all parts, with its ancient walls covered with tpectaa tors—the Grand Stand, the bztkany Of Which, filled with ladies dressed in the brightest of colours, and the embank ments of the bridge (which now afford a magnificent stand by the judicious improvements of the Grand Stand Committee), and 'the Winding Dee, all aided to produce a panorama unequalled for its natural beauty • and its unrivalled richness of effect. The sports of the :day commenced at two o'clock with. The Second Year of the Second BIENNIAL linotucE STAKES of 10 sovs each, with 50 soya added, for three years old ; colts Bst 31b, fillies Bst 51b.

In the House of Commons, yesterday; Lord Raynham moved the second reading of the Aggra vated Assaults Act Amendment Bill, which, after some debate, was negatived by 109 to 85i majority, 24. The Malicious Injuries to Property Amendment Act 'was read a second time. The Fisheries (Scotland) Bill passed through committee. On the second reading of the Bank of Ireland .Bill,, Mr. Maguire 'complained of the delay which took place with regard to Irish bills. Mr. Cardwell said that he had done his best to expedite Irish bills. Mr. Hennessy moved the second reading of the Land Improvement (Ireland) Bill, but his speech was cut short by the hour, and the, louse adjourned. " There's nothirr , like leather." The Sheffield cutlers are evidently quite alive to the importance of the principle involved in this " wise saw." They happen to be among the favoured few whom the French Treaty is calculated to benefit; and they have therefore, with a keen eye to the main chance, presented Louis Napoleon with an elegant knife, which they call a, couteau de chasse,— in recognition of expected advantages in their trade from the treaty. In acknowledging the gift, the Emperor very adroitly takes occasion to turn it to political -account,—declaring to them through his State Secretary, M. Moequard,— " The treaty, 'you are right in belieting, with him to whom you attribute the happy initiative, will strongly contribute to increase the relations, and to draw closerr the bonds of friendship between the two great nations who march at the head of civilisation and industry." This, Of course, is just as likely as not to be a Napoleonic ruse. For what sincerity can there be in such professions of friendship "—what chance of drawing closer any such " bonds ".---where there lurks the desire which he so obviously entertains of one day humiliating peifide Albion ? He has a " mission," he believes, of avengement to execute, and he waits but the opportunity to perform it. How, then, can there, in such a case, be any " bonds of friendship ?" The idea is most assuredly a delu sion and a snare. The aversion that is felt to Lord John Rus sell's Reform Bill, on both sides of the house, is very forcibly aaino*ledged by one of ou' Liberal contemporaries, and of course in the Reform interest, who thus complains :—" Not one speech in five of those which have been delivered on the subject of the Reform Bill has been worth listen ing to, or would ever have been delivered if there had not been on one side of the house a determi nation to defeat ,the bill by long speeches, and on the other a determination to rival the, loquacity of the enemies, of the bill." Thus both sides, we say, are implicated in the charge of being inimical to the ministerial measure. A " determination to rival the loquacity of the enemies of the bill," such loquacity being confessed to imply " a determination to defeat the bill by long speeches," can only Mean that both parties alike are really averse to it ; although on one side the aversion may be shown more honestly and .straightfor- wardly than on the other. Why, then, it may be asked, do they not It anfaily stand Up and at once get rid of. it? The Whigs and Liberals themselves are called _upon first to answer such a question ; . and did they answer it truly, they would be constrained to say, that they are tied and bound .by a factious compact,. under which they are not at, liberty to act according to the dictates of conscience ; and that they are pre cluded, therefore, from faithfully performing their duty as legislators. . - The subject . of our Naval Reserve, so ably brought _forward by Lord Lyndhiirit in• the Amin Of tordi,vand Sir C. Napier in the House of Commons, is seriously taken up by the Times of yesterday. The warnings just so solemnly given to our Lords and Commons, and through them tb the coliritry,: are forcibly echoed in the Colutnnsof the leading journal. We have got, it appears, a - thousand naval volunteerS. The ques tion,. then, it is concluded, niust came to , this "If these one thousand quickly become ten,then it may be time for our veterans to sit comfortably in their arm chairs, prepared fpr the worst, and ready to die with good hopes of their . country: But; if not—if one thousand, or a trifle more; are all the moveable Reserve we have' to - Man the additional ships we should require in our emer gency, then it is' plain something more must be done. The Queen's service must be made more attractive. We must drill our young .sailors for the big guns as we are drilling our lads on shore for the use of the musket and rifle. We must have naval as well as rifle volunteers. Any how, e must turn the matter over till•the right thing be found." The reports as to the decaying condition of the gunboat fleet, at Portsmouth, turns: out to be only too correct. It is now stated, it will be seen, that three of the boats, prior to their real condi tion being ascertained, were considered the most sound and effective in the navy ; • and the proba bility is, that had not these discoveries been made, they would have been dispatched to reinforce the 'China squadron, and gone down from beneath the feet of our officers and men. France and Switzerland have not yet settled their dispute as to the neutralisation of Savoy. France, it seems, now contests the pretensions of Switzerland, though at the same time professing to accept the execution of the Article of the final Act of Vienna that bears upon the point. There is little doubt that the Emperor would dearly like to annex Switzerland, as well as Savoy and Nice,—his territory in that direction would then be compact. Let Switzerland beware she does not afford him an opportunity for conquest. The explanation that is now given, apparently on authority, of the strange proceedings we noticed yesterday, as to the Postmaster-general ship, is in no wise calculated to set at rest the rumour of its having been a subject of diSsension in the Cabinet. The pretext put forth is, that " when three weeks have elapsed, and if the Earl of Elgin has _proceeded on his mission to China, the post will be tilled in a regular way." But has not Lord Elgin already proceeded on the • It has 'been -duly announced that he F- left Paris for 'ilarseilles - en route for China. There has been. no idea entertained, that we are ..accarti-of, that he, would not proceed. To bring it forward now, therefore, only increases the mystery Of the case_ The Hanoverian Diet; it will be observed, is likely to reject the plan proposed by the Govern ment for ,the -fortification of the coast, and to refuse, of course, the requisite supplies. The Emperor of Austria has at length agreed to grant two sets'of chaplains to the two so-called "Evangelical" portion ~of his army,—one of. the. Angsburg, and the other of the Helvetic Confession. A similar Concession' is also to be made to the military hospitals. The refusal of such an arrangement was understood to 'be causing con siderable discontent. Whether or not its removal is sufficiently timely remains to be seen. THE debate on the Reform Bill is to be resumed in the House of Commons to-night. It has now been going on at intervals for several . weeks— dragging its weary length along—ever and anon emptying the house, and twice or thrice exposing it to the ignominy of a "count out." Gladly, we believe, would a large majority of even the Whigs and Liberals, hitherto among the loudest clam ourers for Parliamentary Reform, be done with it altogether,—not only with the debate, but with the - Bill itself, of which there is no doubt they are thoroughly ashamed. But as they have made their bed, so must they endure it. Only by the promise of a better Bill than that of the Conser vative Government did they succeed in getting back to the treasury benches; and. now that they have produced one, it is on all hands acknow ledrred to be infinitely worse. There has seldom, perhaps, in the annals of faction, been a more thorough exposure of party scheming than the whole proceeding on this mea sure has already produced. The very provisions of it which the Liberals themselves, or most of them, have taken exception to, are just those which mainly distinguish it from the Bill which Lord DERBY'S Administration introduced, and which yet they did not scruple to make the occa sion of a conspiracy for its overthrow. Lord PALMERSTON, who, in his heart, is averse to Par liamentary Reform altogether; and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who seems to consider himself its great and sole Apostle; and Mr. GLADSTONE, who even voted for Lord DERBY'S Bill ; and Sir :CORNE WALL LEWIS, who at the time did not see the necessity for any such Bill at all,—these, and such as these, could agree .to coalesce with radi cals and revolutionists like :Vir.• JOFIN BRIGHT, and form themselves into a new faction, expressly on the ground that a much more extensive mea sure of reform was requisite ; whereas now the mind of most of them appears to be, that not a more, but rather a less extensive measure would be " discreetest, wisest, best," one" the less extensive the better, in fact,—any thing, indeed, that can be passed under the name of a Reform Bill, since unfortunately they are pledged to one of some kind or other; but one with as little in it as possible to alter things as they are —so little, in Short, fis even to render it unneces sary to dissolve Parliament to' bring it into operation! • One hon. member, the other night, who had himself been a party to the factious opposition to the DERBY Ministry on this ques tion, asked, even if Parliamentary Reform were really wanted at all, was the present a fitting season to grant it ? And then he proceeded to argue that, even if it were, it must not be of such a nature as to disturb the existence of the present Parliament. "It did not follow that a dissolution need immediately sricceed a reform of Parliament. He thought it would be a great crime in the Government, merely for the sake of collecting the additional intelligence which would be supplied by a franchise, to dissolve Parliament upon the passing of such a measure; he saw no reason, therefore, why, after the Reform Bill had passed, the present Parliament should not continue until some good cause might arise that required its dissolution." Such was Vie line of argument taken by one, we say, who yet could co-operate in tripping up Lord DERBY'S Administration, on the plea that their Reform Bill was not suffidently effective,—whereas it is now virtually confessed that even that measure was almost too much so for the real necessities of the case ! Of course the Radicals are an exception to this state of mind among the ministerial party. They undoubtedly want a much more sweeping Reform Bill than this ; to which, however, they are yet reconciled by the conviction, that it will be the means, in due time, of getting them all they require. As far as it goes, it is to them satisfac tory enough; and they are sufficiently wide awake to perceive whatever some of their less revolutionary confederates may be—that it goes quite as far as is requisite to make the future composition of tha House of Commons such as will enable them, at no distant day, to carry their republican system into pretty complete effect. How politicians of such opposite views could ever coelesee_ on such a question, can easily be accounted fo - r by the fact, that while one party, in all earnestness and eagerness, sought all this revolutionary change, the other 'party only wanted the coalition in order to place themselves and their friends and _ partisans in office again.. Such were the differ rent, yet, for the nonce,. concurring motives of action, by which respectively they were influenced in their factious conspiracy against Lord DERBY'S Ministry,—aAtinistry that had shown its hearty desiie to pass a safe yet efficient and constitu tional measure of Parliamentary Reform, but which they were, most illiberally and factiously, not allowed to do, just because it would have tended to keep them in office, and thereby to give the country the continued-advantage of a stable, settled, and high-principled Government. The very course Which it was only necessary to purxie to have rendered Lord DiatßY'S Reform Bill a really good and effective measure, but which the Whigs and Liberals so pertinaciously arid unprincipledly opposed, is just that which they are now so ready to adopt, as the least of the evils, with the bill of •Lord RAIN RUSSELL. As Mr. WALTER observed, "it was to be hoped that they would do their best in the discussions that would follow upon this measure in com mittee, so to improve and amend it AS to send it forth to the world in such a shape that it would be an honour, and not a disgrace, both to that Parliament and the future fame of the noble lord." Nothing more than this, it will be remembered, did Mr. DISRAELI ask of them on behalf of the Administration of Lord DERBY. But, in the spirit of faction, it was refused. And now the Whigs and Liberals are finding themselves in a worse position than eveiyupon this self-same question of Reform. Fit retribu tion, certainly, will it be, should it all end, as it is not very improbable it may, in the defeat and disgrace of those who, -V such factious conduct, have given so much needless trouble to Parlia ment, and inflicted, at the same time, so much mischief on the country. We see it stated, in a respectable and well informed quarter, that " notwithstanding the absence of direct oppositiox, and the improba bility that important amendments will be carried, there is a growing suspicion that the Bill will not pass into a law during the present session" — a suspicion that is naturally strengthened by its becoming more and more evident, that " the Hone of Commons is discovering that it has yiekled to an imaginary pressure, and the well foutded 13horrence of a dissolution is gradually overpowering the dread of indignant constitu ents" Should Ministers themselves, however, be puties to a withdrawal, or any other failure of tieir Bill, the effect • cannot but be fatal to then, one would think, as the Government of the couttry. - Not but that their rottenness, as a Ministry, is =already only too apparent. But slch a cctprse.,of conduct as that—should they, in!'order. to escape from their present difficulty, he , induced to adopt it—must of necessity preci pitate their downfall, as it would assuredly seal their disgace.

The Grand Vizier Ruchasi is about to resign his post to Ali Pasha. Riza Pacha has caused the disgrace of Ossivan Pacha, Chief of the Palace, who, in com pensation, has been appointed Marshal. France claims 2,000,000 francs as indemnity for the widow Dumas, the innocent victim of the popular aggression. France and England have also presented a note to the Porte, drawn up in energetic terms, claiming 3,000,000 of francs as indemnity for the massacres of Djedda. An immediate .answer has been de manded, in default of which the powers will obtain justice for themselves. The Servian deputation are now raising their pretensions, and still demand a rectification of the boundaries between Sei•via' and the other provinces of the Turkish Empire. Ismael Pasha . . has advanced his head-quarters to Pristina. A certain party in Bosnia claims the annexation Of their country to Servia.

As the law steed, the maximum punishment for such offences, even when committed against women and children, was six months' inapri4mnrrent. The bill proposed to give the magistrate the discretion of ordering the inilictien of Corporeal punishment to the extent of fifty lashes for the first offence, and 150 for a repetition. Mr. Ctrvit Opposed - the bill. The only effect .would_ be to deter the public from prosecuting, and the magistrates frcm convicting. He moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months.. . - . Mr. E.-JAmEs seconded tbt amendment. After some remarks from Mr. D. Griffith, Mi. VANCE thought there was good enough in the bill to warrant its being permitted to go into committoe. Mr. HENLEY did not think the bill was called for bay increase in the number of offences. He could not consent to the principles of the bill. The proper course would be to send the offenders before a magistrate. - • Mr. DILLWTN, O^ the contrary, thought that the only remedy lay in corporeal punishment. - . . .. . .

CORRESPONDENCE: lrs do not hold ourselves responsible for the, opinions of our corresponc'ents.] FIRES IN LIVERPOOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES SIN—In 1854, a friend of mine—a member of the Corporation of Liverpool, and also of every important committee-,,,knowing that-I was-the-author-of-the pro spectus of "the Clarence Dock and Wigan Railway" of 1836, now the Trunk of, the "Lancashire and York- Shire," held many conversations with me on publiC mat ters concerning ,Liverpool. He lamented that public bodies lost their way in many things where in'individual intellect might direct them, and failed to originate many things for the public benefit from want of interest in them'. At his zequest. I addressed. the Chairman of the Dock Committee, and, by appointment, attended the sub conimittee on the 13th of - May, 1854. The immediate object of that meeting; on my part, we to drew the advantages of completing the railway along thicdocks, and making it -the instrument of using travelling hydraulic-, craned for loading : and unloading vessels, the, mode - of doing which I explained ; and also, more partichlarly, of laying down in . the pavement iron wheelways, which would, at half the cost per mile of pavement, sustain more rollage of goods and carriages, with half the draught, and half the wear and tear thatpave ments do, or can do. : I•clid not enter minutely into this, because I found that I had an apathetic audience: The hydraulic 'conversation 'continued. • I then pointed out the policy of placing the valuable public and . privale a Vithin'a - bertain raditis . Z;(s l 6iattge, under the protection of water at such pressure that, with lrydrants in : the buildings up to thp. , rook_c?n fiagration would be staled - that if the Roddlesworth Lodge:wine - high enough the wee should come:from thence; but if the pressure were not - sufficient, another mode might be adopted, viz., that an engine: should b always ready to force, with the addi tion- of the gravitation, the water- from • the Edge-hill reservoir. The engine to be used -in the daytime to force the pressure- of water into - the travelling cranes by a pipe along the . :Doeles; with 9913/1111Anications at inter vals with the cytinderrpt , the cranes, keeping the engine ready during.' the night' tb fordo " the water, for fire-pre vention. -Mr.-Turner objected thatthe steanrwould be too expensive. The interest . of £3O, GOO-L•the cost of the fire on Sunday last—is £1,50P per annum. Since that conversa tion in 1854 the nil llion 7 fire akNewcastle has occurred, and the "burning down of Mr. Brancker's sugar-house (but this ie, even yet,- tiio horrible to recur to), Launcelots'-hey £80,090, and other 4es.havo„happened. As arith metic may suit the purpose better tbip :philanthropy, I 7ilrtnekely remark that every farthing'SwOrtheipropercy destroyed by fire.is lost to the public, and must be paid for by the public. The increased insurance tax is paid on all similar properties. In 1841 the insurance tax ran up in Liverpool from Bs. to 86s. per cent. The amount of property destroyed' 'by fire in Liverpool during the present century (from 1800) ex ceeds four millions. In face of such fires as Launcelot's hey fire, £198,000, in 1333, and Formby-street fire, £380,000, in 1842, of what avail are the present means of extinction, or rather preventio ? We need not look back, last Sunday morning has settled the question. It has been objected to me that fires may be so sudden, as in Mr. Brancket's case, that the valves in high pressure-hydrants could not be got at ;, t can only say, that when such hydrants areput up, self-opening valves will be placed in them. There° are other modes of adding high pressure besides that objected to by Mr. Turner.—Yours, &c., • JOIEN HORS:MC/E. ' Birkenhead, May 1, 1880.

A man, about 33 or 34 years of age, apparently in very respecta ble circumstances, went to Tonk's Hotel, Mill-street, on Wednesday afternbon, having with him a portmanteau, a box, and other luggage, and stated that he should r equirs'accommodation for the night. Re remained at the hoteVand the next evening, when one of the ser vants had occasion to go to his. room, he was fotind lying across the bed quite dead. It appeared that with a razor he had opened an artery of his left arm in two places, with the deliberate intention of allowing himself to bleed to death. Not only had he placed a basin so as to prevent the blood flowing over the floor, but he had actually so , disposed a number of his own. shirts so as to prevent Pie bed 'clothes Or: carpet being in any way stained, and after using the razor had closed it and laid it aside. His luggage did not enable the police to . identify him. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. The Countess of Derby had an assembly last nig) the family mansion in St. James's.square.
