IMPERIAL PARLIAM,DIT.

and asked whether it was true that the Turkish govern-
ment had failed all provide the interest and redemption
fund due on the let August last ; and if so, in what man-
ner her Majesty's government propose to fulfil their gua-
rantee, whether by the liquidation of the drawn bonds, or
by reviving them as titles to the interest guaranteed
by England and France. He, however, did not press the
question if, reference being hail to the position of this
country towards France in the matter, it would be incon-
venient to answer it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it
was true that the Turkish government had failed to pro-
vide the interest due on the loan on Id August, he had
received intelligence from the Turkish minister that the
funds necessary for the payment would be in this country
in a few days. Her Majesty's government had given direc-
tions to nay the guaranteed interest. In regard to the
last question, he could not reply to it, as steps had been
taken to communicate with France on the subject.
Mr. AYRTON called attention to the negotiations for
the abolition of the navigation laws in foreign countries,
and stated that in consequence of the efforts of Mr. Lind-
say the Emperor of the French had been inclined to modify
the navigation laws of France. He could not find that
any steps had been taken to press the subject on Spain and
Portugal ; there was, however, in consequence of the
&page of the law in France, • good opportunity for
making efforts to induce Spain and Portugal to follow that
example.
Mr. LUSK seconded the motion, urging that the pre-
sent state of foreign navigation 1-we -clinsed many griev-
ances to the shipiiwners of this country.
Lord STANLEY agreed in the desirability of the doing
away ,ith or relaxation of those laws throuskout Europe.
He did not attach much weight to diplomatic efforts in this
matter, but rather trusted to the example which had
been shown by this country. In France there was
to be a progressive diminution of the navigation duties,
with • view to their final extinction. As regarded Spain
and Portugal, ell attempts had been hitherto unsuccess-
ful, but he concurred in the hope that the example of
France would have its effect.
Mr. GOSCHEN moved the discharge of the order for
the second reading of the Public Schools Bill; and it was
withdrawn.
After waiting for some time for bills from the Lords,
with amendments requiring consideration,
The house sojourned at 25 minutes to 7 o'clock tin
Friday.

ROYAL COMMISSION.
The royal &meat was given by commission to the Public
Health and of Mlle. The commissioners were the
lewd Chancellor, the Earl of Malmesbury, and Lord
Chilville of Cullom.
THE FRANCHISE IN BOROUGHS.
lord STRATHEDEN, who had a motion on the paper
for an address to her Majesty
.praying for the appointment
of a royal commission to inquire into the operation of the
borough frAnthise in England and Wales, stated that in
oceisequenee of the state of public bushier. and the ohm .;
period that would elapse before the termination of the
ession, he would, with the permission of the holm, with-
draw the motion.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE expressed a hope that
the fullest information would be obtained on the subject
before there was any attempt at legislation upon it. He
=t the best machinery for obt.aning that information
be a royal commission.
The motion was then withdrawn.
LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY
(NEW LINES, he.) BILL.
Lord REDESDALE, in moving the third rending of this
MR. said that in consequence of what had passed it was
Illsomary that be should say a few wovds on this subject.
Sees. amendments which had been proposed bad been sub-
mitted to bun, their object being to create • turd ont of
the existing income of the company, n which fund
a million of money was to be raised. The income
of the company was at the present moment
insufficient to pay the interest on the existing
debt, for there were deber tures now due upon
which proceedings bad been taken in Chancery. Urder
these cacurnstances it was impossible to agree to clauses
which would take away money which was pledged to pay
the interest on the existing debertures. If be were to
unction each a coerce as this there could be no order or
regularity with reference to the funds or the conduct of
railway companies.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE raid he had been in-
duced to support the clauses on the representation that
they would be of the greatest use to the company ; but he
agreed. With the chairman of the committees that the
Isms could not sanction the clauses unless they received
as =sent of all the creditors. The creditors had not
'wanted, and therefore he was not disposed to press the

The bill was then read a third time and passed.

INDEMNITY BILL

The Bari of DEBBY, In moving the second reading, ex-
peeled a hope that no objection would be taken to the re-
amed of this MU ; but, at the same time, trusted that
this would be the last occasion they would be called upon
to psis such a immure. The whole question of the oaths
required to be taken was now under the consideration of
a commission, and he hoped their report would be such as
to lord to the decisive settlement of a subject which was
sot creditable to their legislation.
The bill was then read a second time, and the standing
sedershaving been suspended, was read a third time and
passed.
RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
On the motion of Lord RIDE/WALE several amendments
to standing orders were agreed to.
RITUALISTIC ALTERATIONS.
The Marquis of WESTMILkTH rose to inquire whether
the Lord Bishop of London, having delivered an address
on the 17th February last. alleging that certain persons had
taken en themselves to alter the whole appearance of the
Lord'auppor.beginningwith one indication and ending with
another, which, if it meant anything, spoke of the idola-
trous worship of the consecrated elements, and that it
was not to be denied that some were engaged in a con-
spiracy to bring back our church to the state in which it
was before the Reformation, any proceedings were to be
taken during the recess to test that conspiracy, and to
bring the authors of it to justice. The noble marquis said
the Bishop of London would never have made such a
eerious charge unless he had the means of substantiating
it, and, as the church was placed in a precarious position
by the continuance of thee. abuses, he trusted that if the
beads of the church did not interfere, the government
would adopt some course in regard to the matter.
The Earl of DERBY said he regretted that the right
rev. prolate the Bishop of London was not present to reply
to the noble marquis. He should not enter into the va-
rious points raised by the question, but would simply say
that the practices referred to by his noble friend, if they
'Answered the description given of them, were certainly in-
consistent with the simolioity of protestant worship.
Those practices did a great deal of mischief ; they alien-
ated many from the church and gave rim to a great amount
of dissension. The last time the subject was brought be-
fore their lordships, theßishop of London, speakingfrom the
right rev. bench, stated that they had conferred together
en the matter, and found that although some of those
pastiest were strictly within the limit of the law, there
were others which could be put a stop to by legal process.
They bad stated that circumstance to the derv, and in-
formed them that it was their intention to call in the
assistance of the law to enable them to put down the prac-
tices complained of, stating, at the same time, that they
relied on the good sense and moderation of the subordinate
clergy to relieve them from that responsibility.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH said he had brought the
matter before their lordships because he looked upon the
ritualists as persons engaged in conspiracy which inight
be dealt with by the common law, and without the bishops
being obliged to have recourse to the ecclesiastical courts.
Their lordships then adjourned at ten minutes after six
o'clock.

THE HYDE-PARE RIOTS.
- - - .• _

Mr. TAYLOR asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, whether his attention had been called to a
report of a decision by Mr. Knox at Marlborough-street in
a Ogle of violence proved to have been exercised by • police-
man against a person not inside, nor seeking to enter, the
park; the summons having been discharged with these
words "Do not blame the constable who has given you a
chance blow, but blame those who turned loose the scum
and refuse of the town on the peaceable inhabitants."
Mr. WALPOLE said the question of tEe hon. member
conveyed • false impression of what had really taken
Paco. (Hear.) The magistrate having given a very char
and full exposition of the law, which he supported by a
reference to the highest authorities, pointed out that it
was the duty of the police, when any riotous proceedings
were taking place, to put down the disturbance, and to use
force, if necessary, for that purpose. He then went on to
state that It was the duty of private individuals, under
such circumstances, to assist the police, and closed his
ebeerrations with words which really bore a very different
aspect from that which they seemed to have when quoted
nakedly by the hon. gentleman. Mr. Knox said, With
reference to the evidence for the defence, it was completely
corroborated by evidence given by the witnesses for the
prosecution. There was a tumultuous mob, and the con-
stable was engaged in suppressing the disturbance, as was
his duty. At the same tame he (Mr. Knox) would just
state to the prosecutor before he left the court that
should he again find himself in a place where riotous
proceedings were going on, and he should happen to re-
ceive a chance blow, he should not blame the constable,
but those who bad turned loose the scum and refuse of the
• town upon the peaceable inhabitants." (Loud cheers.)
He (Mr. Walpole) thought the observation quite milled for
by the facts of the ems.
la answer I. Mr. Oupluirr,
Lord STANLEY said that a report had been received
from • diplomatic agent in South America on the schemes
for curing meat for the British market. All reports on
the subject would be produced.
Mr. BERKELEY sited attention to the Royal Naval
°cad Volunteers. • body composed of fishermen living
ea the ecest, who were meant not to he sent on service
300 miles from the coast. Lain studios the
d Admiralty look out the clause of the act under which
the form was levied, by which they were not liable to
serve 'foreign." This had caused a great falling o in
the fords, and he urged that this step should be mom-
Mimed.

►IONS.

BRIGHTON RACEB.—TUZIWAT.
The Brighton meeting is always eminently successful in obtain-
ing aristocratic patronage, and following's it does the Goodwood
week, it induces numbers of visitors to proton their Sumer
tour. The fearfully boisterous weather on Monday doubtless
exercised a depressing btfluence on the number of arrivals on
that day, but today(Tuesday) the trains from the metropolis
and the various adjacent towns were well filled, the constant
influx visitors to Brighton crowding the streets by the time
a move was made for the course. The weather was line,
although the wind was very high, driving the dust in blinding
showers, rendering the ride to the course anything but
comfortable, while on the downs it blew a perfect hur-
ricane, and by the time the racing commenced the
attendance was very large, both on the stand and in
the ring, while the company on the course was very great, quite
as largo as on any former anniversary. Several Important im-
provements have been made since last year in the stand, render-
ing It one of the best in the kingdom. The racing commenced
at two o'clock and concluded at five, the last race—the Cham-
pagne Stakes—malting in a walk over for Ostreger. The Itsllway
Stakes for 2-yr-olds brought out but five runners, but the presence
of Knight of the Garter and Friponnier was sufliment to invest
the encounter with some interest. Priponnier, carrying Sat 13lb,
was the favourite, but there were many good judges- who stood
" the Knight," who claimed a 31b allowance, and in Fordham's
hands begot well off, made all the running, and woo in •
canter by four lengths from Huntsman, who finished in front o'
Friponnkr, but only on sufferance, as Custance evidently eased
the horse when pursuit was found to be hopeless. The Brighton
Stakes was contested for by five runners only, Wild Agnes open-
ing the favourite, but the repeated outlays on Brother to Gue-
rilla, or rather Nino Nance, as he was named immediately after
themes, soon inwe him favourite, and after a game struggle
with Blender, he won by a head, in the last stride. Wild Agnes,
who looked very formidable a quarter of a mile from home, bore
out the as of those who maintained she could not stay
the course.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Bement Dowling sentenced him to 12 months' im-
prisonment with hard labour
William Rick, 24, • respeetable-looking mrn, was in-

In this cue the prisoner went to the prosecutor's, and
represented to him that his late master had failed, and ab-
sconded from his creditors, and upon that representation
he took him biro his service. The prisoner asked the pro-
secutor to have • cigar, which he did, and smoked it, and
thought the prisoner a very nice sort of person. He had
not been long in his employ before he stole • great quan-
tity of property and absconded.
Mr. Serjeant Dowling remarked that the prosecutor was
a very easy sort of person, and asked the prisoner what
made him commit this robbery.
The prisoner said he bad had • deal of trouble, and had
• wife and two children—one only four days old.
The prosecutor said when the prisoner come to him, ha
told him a plausible tale. He said he was • single man.
The jury found the prisoner Gritty.
