IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

The first subject which engaged the attention
of the House of Commons yesterday afternoon was
the Turnpike Trusts Bill, the second reading of
which was moved by Mr. Knatehbull-Hugeseen
in an elaborate address, in which he discussed
almost all the questions that could arise neon a
measure intended to provide for the abolition of
tolls and the extension of the ares of taxation
from which the funds neceasary for the mainten-
ance of ithe highways were to be derived. At the
close of his speech be admitted that he did not
Dope to pas the bill into law during the present
session. and only asked for its second emding as an
affirmation of its main principle. Mr. Knight
moved the rejection of the bill, and for about four
tours the house was engaged in the discussion of
the general question of the value of turnpSies, the
claims of bondholders, and the system upon which
highways ought to be maintained. Every, or
almost every, speaker admitted that there were
faults in the existing system, but there was a
great difference of opinion as to the remedy that
ought to be applied. Sir J. Fergusson, speaking
for the government, criticised the provisions of the
bill, and, on the ground of its incompleteness, op-
posed the second reading. Mr. Henley recom-
mended the hon. member for Sandwich not to
endeavour to pledge the house upon a question
of eo much difficulty as this, but to leave the sub-
ject open for discussion in a new parliament. This
suggestion was supported by Mr. Hardy, and
being accepted by Mr. Hugcsscn, the
amendment and the bill were both with-
drawn. In moving the second reading of the
Municipal Corporations (Metropolis) Bill—the com-
panion measure of one for the creation of a general
metropolitan municipality, the progress of which
bad been stopped after the first reading by the
opeation of the standing orders—Mr. Mill affirmed
that the special problem of the future would be the
combination of democratic institutions with skilled
administration. Such a combination was impos-
sible where the management of local affairs rested
upon the representation of a small area, as in the
case of the London vestries. The first necessity,
therefore, was the extension of the area of repre-
sentation. The Metropolitan Board was a rude
attempt to attain that object; but there were
many defects in the constitution of that
body which prevented its accomplishing
all that was needed, and to supply a want which
bad been generally admitted, he proposed by this
bill to erect each of the parliamentary boroughs com-
posing the metropolis into a separate municipality,
the corporation of which should enjoy and exercise
all the powers possessed by municipal bodies
throughout the country. In addition to this he
was anxious to establish a general municpality
for the whole metropolis ; but with the measure
which had that object in view he was unable at
present to proceed. He could not indeed expect
to pass this bill during the present session, but for
the sake of inviting discussion he moved that it
should be read a second time. The rejection of
the measure was proposed by Mr. C. Bentinck, who
objected to proceeding with this bill in the
absence of the other measure to which the hon.
member for Westminster had referred, and which
lie had always represented as an essential part of
his scheme. Apart from this, he condemned many
of the provisions of the bill, and maintained that
it was opposed by almost all of the ratepayers of
the metropolis. Mr. H. Lewis adopted a similar
argument against the measure, and recommended
the appointment of a select committee to examine
the whole question. The debate was continued by
Colonel Hogg and Sir J. Fergusaon, the latter of
whom claimed this as a subject upon which the
government alone ought to attempt to legislate,
and pointed out that it was contrary to the prin-
ciple of the Municipal Corporations Act to confer
municipal institutions upon communities which
had not asked for them. Mr. Ayrton recom-
mended the adoption of a resolution declaring
that it was the duty of the government to deal
with this question in a future session. Mr. Locke
offered to move such a resolution, and Sir S.
Northeete was addressing the house upon the sub-
ject when the arrival of a quarter to six o'clock
cut short the discussion. Soon afterwards the
Donee adjourned.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR SUMNER NRETING.--MEDNESDAY.

The patronage accorded to the Window) meeting to-day wax
considerably m cameo of that of yesterday, and the ram was, if
anything, hotter and the course consequently as hard ea it was
possible to be. The &Ida, however, were but little abort of those
of yesteiday, the only falling off in the sport bring the non-filling
for the All-Aged Handicap Sweepstakes. The Diomedia filly,
who had been lacked freely at the Ms for the Clamber Cup, was
an &Leconte?), and the rare was reduced to a match between Pontes
and Fits-Ivan, the latter of whom it will be remembered ran se-
cond to Abergeldic last year in the City and Suburban, and had no
difficulty in di:peeing of Pontes ; but his backers were kept in
doubt some time as to the direction of the stakes, as an objection
was lodged against the winner for going the side of
a post, although it was overruled by the Rewards after
inquiry. The Half-mile Handicap Plate which produced
A fair field, fell to the favourite, Substance, tilho added to the re-
putation of Mr. Mather's sire Prime Minister, and got back for
the talent some of their yeatuday's tomes. The Windsor Han? Paw a warm favourite in Lord Pahnereton, who has at
earned " the blue " of Sir Charles Legard to the fore, and
fe sled The Pricer, who was Immensely fancied by the Northern
division. Mr. leravley, who ran third with Violent, objected to
the frit two, and 61Ionel Knox, whose representative, Armonrer,
was placed fourth, objected to the three, both objections
being on the ground of the first three having gone the wrong aide
of a pest, but the objection,' could not be sustained. Mad-
rona followed up hts MCCAW cm Lord Palmerston by winning
the Two and 'Three-year-old Handicap with Lily, who
got back Mr. lirayley a lot of his Violent and Moose
money. The Lady Palmerston gelding was again victori-
OW ley winning the Selling Stakes, and Mr. H. Wright
thought AA much of her performance that he gave 330 guineas for
her at auction, or 300 over the selling price, so that Mr. Oeorge
ratted MU jounces, which was more than the winner got,
and besides claimed a fairish mare in t'rsula. Armours reeom-
penned Colonel Knox for him &fent in the Windsor Handicap by
winning the Welter Cup, in which Tom French had the satis-
faction of vanquishing the gentleman rider, Mr. Edwards, on
lord Ronald. laectneity upset the odds land on Illaraniello for
the Windsor Stab. s, but the followers of the French stable de-
clined to 1 cliese it was the colt's correct Ram, and afterwards be
was backed rather freely for the Derby at 1000 to 30. An ob-
jection lodged by Grim:haw against the start remains in abey-
ance, and the sport was concluded by Rhododendron beating
Sister to Veda and Sty other* in the Nursery Plate. Subjoined
