, tenor of the, Exchequer, as they 'understood it, that no-
thing should be done with respect to the Queen's Univer-
sity in Ireland without giving the house the opportunity of
exirn-..:ig au opinion upon it. (Opposition cheers-)
Under these circumstances, he wished to ask the Secretary
to the Lord-Lieutenant whether, notwithstanding that
declaration, a charter had not been prepared, and actually
signed by her Majesty giving fresh powers in conferring
to the senate of the university.
de
Mr. FORTESCUE said that the government, in pun
suance of the promise made at the beginning of the ses-
sion, bad stated their intentions with respect to the
alterations to be made in the Queen's University
in Ireland in the form of a letter addressed by the Homo
Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant, and laid upon the table
of the house immediately after the Easter recen• Some
weeks subsequently, when introducing the Irish Reform
Bill, which proposed that • member should be
given to the Queen's University, he took occasion
to state more distinctly the course the govern-
ment meant to pursue upon the subject, under
the advice of the law officers of England and Ireland,
that course being to prepare • supplemental charter, and a
bill to supply what might be wanting in the charter.
These two statements of the intentions of the government
having passed unchallenged by the house, they proceededto
act upon them. The supplemental charter had
received the Queen's signature two or three weeks
ago, the effect being to enable the Senate of,
the Queen's University to confer degrees upon all who
might pass their examinations, without regard to their
place of education. That, according to the advice of the
law officers, was the extent of the power of the crown,
having regard to the existing charter. The government
had also a bill in preparation, of which he was on the point
of giving notice a fortnight ago, when the division
took place upon the motion of the noble lord the member
for Galway, the effect of which would have been, and he
hoped would be, to place the new class of graduates so in-
troduced into the university upon an equal footing in all
respects as to all rights and privileges as members of con-
vocation and of the corporate body with the past and
existing graduates of the university. The bill would also
have provided for a certain increase in the number of
senators, and for some minor purposes. That was the
course the government had taken, and he did not think it
was open to any such objection as his right hon. friend
seemed to infer. (Hear, hear.)

NEWMARKET JULY MEETlNG.—TitraspAy.

There was no improvement m the weather, which continued
very showery throughout the afternoon, a thunderstorm passing
over the heath, accompanied by vivid aultes of lightning and
very heavy rain. Alter that the sky became clear, and the sport
was concluded in genial sunshine. The Chesterfield Stakes only
induced three Allies to oppose Achievement, but as Hippie was
amongst them the interest was sustained to the last The
backers of Achievement were undismayed b the conliderce of
the Newmarket people in the ability of Hippie to overthrow the
Sister of Lord Lyon, and freely laid odds of 55 to 20 on her, and
they were well rewarded for their allegiance, as she won in the
esalest manner by a length. Her victory was loudly cheered, as
was also Custance when he returned to weigh in. The following

THE BOAT RACE. BETWEEN THE CHAMPIONS
OF ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

We have again to return to the subject of the
contests between Kelley and Hamroill at Newcastle-on-
Tyne, and the only difference between the first and last
race was that Hainmill was even more thoroughly worsted
than before. He is a gallant fellow ; but it is quite
manifest that he is an instance of the misapplication of
first class human powers. His defeats—signal as they have
been—may suggest to the denizens of the far west who
delight in boating altogether a different mode of rowing,
more closely assimilating with that of the renowned
Britisher', who have long held "' the mastery o'er
the flood." In the opening race of Tuesday the course was
five miles out, all with tide, hut in the second, which we
are about to record as occurring yesterday, it was two
miles and a half out from the high level bridge with the
tide and two mile and a half in against it. The vast
superiority shown by Kelley on the previous day had made
him the favourite at 8 and 10 to 1, and at that price the
takers were far from numerous. Half-past eight was the
time appointed, and the men were at their stations imme-
diately afterwards. In a few minutes they were off, Kelley
drawing a slight lend at about 3S strokes per minute, and
liaturnill with about 74, which he slightly increased, rowing
with enormous power, and drawing upon his opponent,
came almost level with him at the Skinner's Burn. Kelley,
who had his man at this moment in his power, and ulti-
mately did as he liked with him, went gradually away and
was a clear length ahead at Grindstone Quay, and within
the neat three minutes headed him by three more. At the
turning point Hauirnill was a quarter of a mile astern, and
in about half a mile more resigned the contest. The fine
rowing of Kelley was greeted with a met unmistakeable
demonstration.

THREATENED ENCLOSURE OF HAMPSTEAD-HEATH.
—Yesterday, at the meeting of the blarylebone vestry,
Mr. Churchwarden Kynustou in the chair, Mr. Greenwell,
vestry clerk, drew attention to another bill introduced
into parliament at the instigation of Sir Thos. blaryon
Wilson, now called " The Finchlev.rosd Estates Rill," for
power to build upon that part of the Finchley-road adin-
ing Hampstead-heath. Dr. Rachhoffner moved, "That
the borough members be requested to obtain the insertion
of clauses preventing Hampstead-heath being built upon,
and also to preserve the public rights of way on the
Finchley road." This being seconded, was objected to by
Mr. Shaw, who said that such a resolution would not do,
as the evident intent of this bill was to encroach on
Hampstead-heath. After some discussion, in the course
of which the bill was viewed by the vestry generally as an
attempted encroachment leading virtually to the enclo-
sure of Hampstead-heath, an amendment was carried to
oppose the bill is tolo in parliament.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-JuLy_s._

After Term Nisi Prius Sittings at GuildhalL —(l3efore
the Lord Chief Justice and Special Janes.)

REID P. THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for the death of the plaintiff's father, through the alleged
negligence of the defendants in not keeping the forecourt
at the Charing-cress station in a proper state for the use of
the public in going to and from the station.
The defendants pleaded not guilty, and other pleas deny-
ing their liability which involved certain points of law.
Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. Mr. Rumen and Mr. Channeff,
were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. eAgeridge, Q.C., Mr.
Serjeant Ballantine, and Mr. Dixon, were counsel for the
defendants.

—fire plaintiff is the adminiatratrix of her late father,
and she brought this action on behalf of herself and three
sisters. The deceased had for many years carried on the
business of a hosier and outfitter in Conduit-street, Han.
over-square. On Saturday, the 29th July, the deceased,
with his grandson, a boy about 12 or 13 years of age, took
return tickets for Harting', returning by the 6.15 p.m.
train, which arrived at Charing-cross at half-past 10
o'clock. The gates at the end of the pathway nearest
Charing-cross were dosed. and one of those of the carriage
way. The place was under repair, and planks were laid
down for the passengers to walk to the other side, and out
through the half open carriage way. As deceased was
walking along he hailed an omnibus and on quickening
his pace his foot tripped on the end of one
of the planks, and he was precipitated forward,
his head coming in contactwith the half-open gate of the
carriage way. He was taken up insensible, and conveyed
to a doctor's, and ultimately to his home, where he Un-
wed until the 7th of August, when he died, erysipelas
having set in. The deceased, who was sixty years of age,
had for five years previous to his death been making a net
income of 700/. per annum, and in the event of the jury
finding a verdict for the plaintiff they would have to appor-
tion the amount. The plaintiff at the time of the acci-
dent was single, and living with her father, but had since
married ; the second daughter suffered from a spinal
complaint. and was wholly dependent on her
father ; and the other two were married, but
were in the habit of receiving pecuniary assistance from
the deceased. The contention on the part of the defen-
dants was that they were not liable for any negligence, be-
cause at the time of the accident the forecourt was in the
possession of contractors who were doing certain repairs.
The planks were put down to accommodate the public by
keeping them out of the mud and dirt. It could not be
said, the defendants contended, that that was • negligent
act, and it was urged in their behalf.that this was one of
those unavoidable accidents which unfortunately so fre-
quently occurred. It was a dull, dirty, rainy night. The
children were now receiving 300/. per annum equally be-
tween them under the father's will, and that, the learned

counsel for the defendants said, in'addressing the jury in
mitigation of damages (if they found negligence against
them), had to be taken into consideration.
The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff,
damages 840/., which they apportioned u follows :-5001.
for the unmarried daughter, 150/. for the plaintiff, and
1001. each for the other two.

Of the three other cases in the day's list, one was
arranged, in another the record was withdrawn ; and the
third was made a remanet by consent.

COURT OF PROBATE AN]) DIVORCE.
JULY 5.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
WOOD V. WOOD AND STANOZB.

To-day this case was resumed and concluded. The de-
fence was to the effect that though the conduct of the
respondents might have been indiscreet, it was not guilty,
but might be innocently explained by the friendship
which existed between the parties.
Sir J. Wilde, in summing up, observed that, though the
letters of the co-respondent to Mrs. Wood did not contain
a word that pointed to positive adultery, there was hardly
• word in it that did not prove Mr. Stanger to have been
in love with the petitioner's wife.
After two hours' deliberation, the jury was discharged
without giving a verdict.

COURT OF BANICRI7PTCY.—Jury 5.
(Before Mr. Cominiodooer Holroyd.)
IN RE JAMES RASTIZ.

The bankrupt was a merchant, late of Threadneedle-
street, since of Pancras-lane. He ascribes his failure to
liabilities incurred in connection with the promotion of
various companies. The total liabilities are 113,2401., com-
prising 43,668/. in respect of the Hill Pottery Company,
Burslem, 25,8551. in respect of the General Estates Com-
pany, 17,.5001. the London-bridge Land Company, and
12,997/. the Joint Stock Discount Company. Assets re-
turned at 1,85 W. only. Amongst the creditors are the
National Bank, 12,5007., holding as security 3,500 shares
in the London-bridge Land Company ; the Joint Stock
Discount Company, 8,5821. ; Agra and Maaterman's Bank,
13,600/. ; the Merchants' Banking Company, 3,500/. ; and
the European Bank, 8,0001. The accounts have been pre-
pared by Messrs. Hart and Co.
This was the sitting for examination and discharge.
Mr. Tatham, for the assignees, offered no opposition.
Mr. Linklater supported. He said this was one of the
failures arising out of the late financial crisis. The bank-
rupt's shares in the London-bridge Land Company had
coat him upwards of 21,000/., and they were now unsale-
able, a call having been made. He was originally in the
army, and had invested his savings in this company. The
liabilities to the Agra and Masternian's Bank and the
London Joint Stock Company were not expected to conic
against this estate. The case was one of great misfortune
for the bankrupt, and no creditor opposed.
His Honour Laid that under those circumstances the
bankrupt might take his order.
