METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
The supply of beasts is rather larger than on Tbural•iy
last, and trade is very dull. It is difficult to maim .iiia
Monday's quotations for choice kinds, and secoud-rate are
lower. We have a good supply of sheep, and the demand
very limited. A clearance cannot be effected at oLC
quotations. Trade is very dull for Lintel, at scu-eely
Monday'■ rates. Calves meet with a dull sale. Our
foreign supply consists of 460 beasts, 1,740 sheep, cud
185 calves. _ . .

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

MUSIC OF COMMONS. -WED•467.DAY, Rua 19.

BrNDAY LKALTURES BILL.

After our report left yesterday,
Mr. Haman, remarked that if scientific lectures
were to be allowed in order to draw people from
the public-houses, theatres and circuses would do
that much more effectually, and if the former were
to be allowed, why not the latter I The great
majority of the people valued the SAlsith as a day
of rest, and they knew that if UlaMlUoll came in,
they would have to labour seven days a week
instead of six. He did not think any one of these
halls would be open but to make money, and that
the law properly prevented. He thought they
abmild atop at the line where the money was taken.
Mr. BKIUUT thought it a good suggestion that
the bill should be referred to a select committee,
with a view of ascertaining if it were possible to
make some relaxation of the present law so as to
promote the recreation of the people without
violating the sensibilities of the people, for which
be bad the greatest respect with regard to the
roper observance of the Sunday. He thought
the bill open to great objections, and he could not
vote fot:th!second reading in its present form.

Sir W. Harrnoors was exceedingly averss to
letting in that class of entertainment on Sundays
which prevailed on the continent. lie agreed with
Mr. Henley that they should draw the line at the
money payment. If they were to have a select
committee it should not be on this bill, but on the
hnle subject.
Mr. C. Fulcrasous should vote for the second
reading of the bill, not only on its own merits, or
if thought better, that it be referred to a select
committee.

Mr. Hatter objected to the bill, because it
would open not only places where they would have
such moral and intellectual entertainments as the
lectures at St. Martin's-hall, but places where
infidel and other lectures were given, which were
sot attractive now, but which would be insole so
if they were furnished wish the means by being
permitted to take money at the doors.
Sir tl. (IRBY recommended the noble lord not to
press the motion to a division. He did not wish,
voting against the wound reading, to appear to
say that the taw was in a satisfactory state.
'The discussion was continued by Mr. Lovas,
oho supported, and Mr. T. CHacimees, Mr. Hot-
DIN, and Mr. Powstt, who opposed the bill ;
after which the second reading was negatived with-
out a division.

On the order of the day for going into committee
on the Industrial Schools (Ireland) Bill,
Mr. BAUMILLL objected to the bill as being a
supplement to the Reformatories Bill, and unneces-

ary.
VANI7I also thought the bill objectionable.
It gave a premium to parents to send their chil-
dren begging, and would cruse a great increase in
the monastic schools in Dublin. He moved that
the house go into committee on the bill that day
six months.

After some discussion and a division, in which
the amendment was rejected by 19K to 54, the
house weut into committee on the bill, and the
discussion on the various clauses occupied the
house until a quarter to six, when by the rules of
the house the further proceeding with the bill was
adjourned.

The order for the second reading of the Muni-
cipal Corporations Charities Bill was discharged ;
and several other bills having been advanced a
stage, the house adjourned at 10 minutes to six.

THE RIOTING AT BIRMINGHAM.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

During the whole of last evenin,, and until a late
hour at night, all the streets leading to those in which the
recent riots and conflicts have taken place were crowded
with people. Many of these were mere spectator% no
doubt peaceably disposed enough ; but there was another
elms lurking about ready for mischief, that was palpable
enough, if the opportunity served by the withdrawal of
the protecting force. It was a sad, anti even portentous,
sight to see, at this time of day, such a force arrayed to
protect the town from • Lierlees mob, anti for such a
eause. The crossings of the streets were guarded by
the infantry, the Hussars were picketed in the BuU
Ring and elsewhere, and the prison vans were
escorted by cavalry to the borough gaol. There
were rumours that distant parts of the town were to be
attacked and although everybody felt assured that the
magistrates were active in providing as far as possible for
any emergency, after the events of Sunday and Monday
afternoon and evening no one could feel that there was
isecurity. Fortunately the night went over without any
renewal of the disturbance. Soon after midnight a de.
tachmeot of more than 100 men (14th Infantry) arrived
from Manchester •, they were stationed at the Town Hall,
and this morning the police force has been augmented by
the arrival of detachments from those bodies in the towns
in the locality.
Such are some of the precautionary measures taken after
the disaster ; what provision was made for its prevention
must be the subject of inquiry hereafter. The matter has
been already discussed at a meeting of the watch commit-
tee of the Town Council ; and but for a fact or two there
disclosed, it would be positively incredible that in view of
She gravity of the situation (to some extent indicated by
the Mayor's refusal to grant the Town-hall to Murphy), so
little should have been done to meet even the possiMlity
of any attempt at mischief. Murphy's first Berries was to
commence on Sunday at 3 o'clock, and according to a re-
port from the chief superintendent of police laid before the
watch committee, " tdi men only were ordered on duty ;"the
reason assigned for this being " not to create more excite-
ment than was possible."
Allusion was made in the report of yesterday to the
damage done in Park-street.. The utter wreck in that
locality is indescribable; in many cases the window-frames
have been wrenched out wholesale, not a pane of glass re-
mains, and the mob carried away every moveable article.
This street was inhabited almost exclusively by the poorer
*lass of the Irish; the poor creatures had to sty from
their dwellings destitute iu every way. The spectacle pre-
sented in that respect was truly shocking. It is said that
the Irish were the great offenders on Sunday and Monday.
Even if that was so, the retribution is fearful. In other
streets partial, but considerable, damage has been done.
Attempts to renew the disturbances List evening were
quickly put down.
Murphy discoursed again last evening, the Rev. W. Cet-
i.), Wesleyan minister, Walsall, in the chair. The fol-
lowing is a sample of his harangue :—" The Roman catho-
lic priests said that they had power to make God Almighty
out of bread and wine. They ought to be able to turn all
the pebbles into sovereigns, and not make their living out
of poor people. When all the • pasties' were black in
Ireland, why did they not say • beaus peva over them,
and turn them into good food? (Laughter.) Father
Sherlock might say a hocus poeus over them, and turn them
all Papists. (Laughter.) He proceeded to read from the
ltomish missal that if the priest vomited a wafer—(Mr.
Murphy: If he had the stomach-ache (Laughter) —he
was compelled to eat up the pieces. That was if he
vomited :Jesus Christ he was obliged to eat him up again.
(Oh, oh.) And if the wine froze in winter, they had
to put it, or Jesus Christ, into boiling water.
The doctrines of Puseyism on this point were identical
with those of Humanism. He could prove that Bishop
lfllathorne and all the priests in Birmingham ate them-
selves every Sunday morning. (Laughter.) Fur they
maintained that they were one and the same with Christ,
whose body they ate every Sunday mornitg. (Applause.)
Tile catholic priests did not believe in giving the people
the wine now. (A Voice: "They like it too much.")
Yes, they like it too well themselves. (Applause.) The
poor people were treated by the priests as if they were in-
Idols. They were obliged to take every thing for granted.
(Hear, lieut.)"
Several fresh arrests were merle last night ; the magis-
trates have been engaged all dry in dealing with the
numerous cases which came before them.

NORFOLK AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—This society
bald Re annual meeting at Fakenhaw yesterday. The rin•
derpess had the effect of preventing any meeting in the
county in 186 G, but this year cattle classes were allowed
on condition that they were confined to Norfolk. The
phow of hones and cattle was good and somewhat larger
than usual, but the sheep and pig classes were not quite
an numerous. The implement entries were also about up
to the average. His Royal Hiphr.eas the Prince of
'ales, Lord Sondes, Lord Walsingham, the Marquis
Townsheml, and one or two other members of the county
striatuorricy competed in some of the classes. In fat steers
the entry of the Prince of Wales wascommended. In the
slam of pens of ewes of any age or breed a premium
of W. was swarOed to the Prince of Wales for
some Southdowns bred by Lord Sondes and Sir W.
Jones. In Southdown rams Lord Sondes was extremely
fortunate. In long-woolled rains the competition lay,
as usual, principally between Mr. T. Brown, of Marhsan,
and Mr. H. Aylmer, of West Derebam. Most of the pi;
prizes went into Suffolk and Lincolnshire. In the agricul-
tural horse stock the Suffolk breeders were also powerfully
represented, and carried off most of the prizes. The first
prise for the best thoroughbred stallion went to Mr. Stir
gins, shown by Mr. R. Ives, Calthorpe. A cup of the
value of 201., given by the Prince of Wales for the best
Mellitus for saddle or harness, was won by Ambition,
shown by M. 0. Boort, of Stow-bridge. Some of the
hackneys and cobs shown were very taking animals.
