Mr. &UNLIT strong) y objected to the transfer ,
of the jurisdiction of the house to a single man.
Mr. Cason's]) moved the adjournment of the
house, but the motion was not seconded.
The amendment was then negatived without a
division, and the house went into committee on the
bill.

In reply to Mr. AVATON,
Mr. Diaatam said he proposed to bring in
analogous billslor Ireland and Sootland.
The house then resumed.
The house having gone into committee on the
Mutiny Bill,
Mr. ()TWAY moved to insert the words in clause
22 to provide that no court-martial shall have
power in time of peace to sentence any soldier to
corporal punishment.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said a great concession was
made last session, when the power of inflicting
corporal punishment was reduced to a great extent.
Another reason against the motion was that a royal
commission waa at this time inquiring into the
-whole eystempf military punishment.
Mr. Beadlam," Captain Vivian, and Colonel
Wilson Patten all stated that as they were mem-
bers of £he coo-mission they should abstain from
voting.
Sir C. Rusano. said they were getting a better
class in the army, but it was necessary to retain
this power in opler to maintain discipline among
the rillileele in s444;amfY•

Antotherinnegilnient was carried against the go-
vernment, though no division was taken upon it,
by which the power of billeting on private houses
lin Ireland was abolished. _ - - - -

The remaining orders were disposed of, and the
homm e4journed at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock.

CHELTENHAM STEEPLECHASES.
TROILADAT.

This meeting, which isl;eidOver a picturesque line of
country in the valley of the Cotswold hills, and about two
miles from Cheltenham, was commenced to-day, and will
be extended over to-morrow. There was, as usual, an
hothouse attendance of the local people, and a fair muster
,4p the ring, though the patronage accorded by the regular
followers of racing was but limited. The racing does not
call for much comment. Mr. Breyley won the opening
event with Jove, and ran second for the Hurdle Baize with
Prima Donna. Colima, the favourite for the last-men-
tioned lAN, fell, owing to the bungling of the " aeries,"
Drum, who, however, won awl, at the finish. The
Borough Plate was notable only for the-victory of Colenso
and the fatal accident to Cheinerfield, who fell and broke
his leg, having to be destroyed on the course. The race of
the day—the Prince of Wales Stakes—produced only four
runners, and was won by Havelock (late Claxton). The
rider of the favourite, Lard Waldegrave, broke a stirrup-
leather, and the horse's chance was thereby extinguished.
The Merle Hill Plate was won by Balder, whose maiden
victory it was, after a good race. Jem Adams rode a
couple of winners in Drum and Balder, and Mr. Edwards
a like number in Jove and Column. Details of the day's
running are appended :

BETTING IN LONDON.—THURSDAY.
Notwithstanding a pretty numerous attendance at the
clubs to-day, the business transacted did not amount to
much. For the Northamptonshire Stake. Blueskin and
Lord Hastings were both well supported, the remaining
transactions, as also thawtha on the Karl Spencer's Plate,
being for nulling sums. The principal feature in eon-
aexion with the Chester Cup was the hostility shown
towards Weather Star 66 to 1 being laid against him seve-
ral times, and offers of 50 to 1 being plentiful at the close.
Resicrucian had a Hill more improving appearance for the
Two Thousand, 4 to 1 being asked for, sad no more than
3to 1 being offered. Green Sleeve was in good demand
for the Derby, 1,000 to 90 and 500 to 45, together with
smaller bets, being booked in her favour, while eventually
11 to 1 was asked for and not obtainable. Prises as ap-
pended:
