BETTING IN LONDON.-MONDLY.

For the City and Suburban, Nemea and Abergeldie kept
exceedingly steady, but Blinkhoolie on the other hind,
receded point by point to 20 to 1. Knight of the Garter
and Attack colt were both in good demand at 100 to 8,
while at a point more Stradbroke and The Parson Jocund
many friends. Chelsea was supported in one hand at
2000 to 100, acd at the same rate of odds Thalia was fre-
quently invested upon. Neither Nyanza nor Brother to
Knight of the Crescent went quite so well ; the remaining
candidates occupied about the same position as formerly.
For the Metropolitan a warm favourite woo found in Blue-
skin, who was backed down to aa little as 6to 1; Canute
and Demonstration also went wall at 100 to 8 and 100 to 6
each. For the Two Thousand, Pace looked healthier,
1100 to 100 being booked in his favour, and no more than
10 to 1 afterwards offered. This horse was also booked at
2000 to 100 for the Derby. The oat/wither feature was
the booking of Chelsea for the , one transaction
alone of 5000 to 100 being booked, w 1000 to 20 was
taken six or seven times. Closing quotations :

TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAT.

The subsoription-room was thr at as Nail hear,
and oadinsed so throughout tha atemems. Skis heir]
the eve of the City and itsbarbia, eg
wagering took place on that race. Nerrsli=iser
all comers, 800 to 100 was tile& shoat
re:tincearths: early part of the afternoon ; liabonqnssily
she receded for a few minces to 8 to 1, whs. MAW lames
came Lb the market; bat later on her frame easepted
all the 7's they could get. Thalia was the ismsation horse
of the day ; large commission had evidently been east
into the market in her favour, and with such promptitude
and purpose was it executed that in the course of an hour
she must have been backed to win close upon 20,0001. at
prices ranging from 1000 to 60 down to 8 to 1 ; at this
point a slight reaction set in, and 10's were laid several
times, but at them odds a large amount of money again
went on. Knight of the Garter was also generously mop-
ported to win something like 12,0001, he and Lord West-
moorland's mare being about equal favourites at the Mash.
Speculum came with a rush after be had been supported
quietly at 20's and 16's. 1000 to 80 we, booked
twice, and :abseil:an* 9000 to 250 then MO to
9 was taken several tames; and at them odds the
horse left off. Abergeldis dad not go very well, 100 to
7 being once or twice laid, and offers of 13 to lfically
going begging. Milton was in considerable demand, and
freely invested upon at 20 to 1. Cheltenham also had
healthy appearance, 25 to 1 being taken about Mtn to win
5,0001. or 6,0001. The only other candidate that need be
spesially alluded to is Blinkboolie, who gradually declined
to 50 offered, no takers. Nothing was done on the
Metropolitan, the Northamptonshire, or the Chester Cap.
For the Two Thousand natters mended considerably
with Bosiorucian, as he was freely supported at 9 to 2
and 4 to 1 ; and 2/6/. was invested in one transaction at
the last-mentioned price. Pace went slightly better, 11
to 1 beleg taken kindly ; while Chelsea was backed on one
hand at 4000 to 200, and for smaller amounts at 20 to 1.
For the Derby nothing was done about the favourites, but
Chelsea was supported to win several thousand, at 50 to
1. Prices at the close were as follow :

Ibis morning two plate-layers were occupied
near the New-cross station of the South Eastern Railway,
in making good certain repairs, when the up-train due ►t
New-croes came in sight, and the men stepped from
the six-foot way on to the down line. They had
scarcely taken up a position as they thought of nasty
whin a test engine, which is usually despatched from the
Londcn terminus in order to ascertain whether the line is
flee from obstruction, came suddenly upon them and
killed them. The driver of the teit engine had mad)
every (flint in his power to warn the men to move away,
but the unexpected appearance of the locomotive seemed
to lisle n ads thim motionless, and thus they met their
death. The remains of the poor fellows presented •
shocking spectsee. With as little delay as possible shells
were procured into which they were plated and conveyed
to the station.

THE IBERIAN uraceir.

A Paris correspondent of tho Nord gir' the
following :
You I.avo mentioned the lively feeling of public, opinion
in roitutal at aunt the plane of Iberia Union. A fact. of
which the cznotitude is guaranteed to a, and which I do
nut believe is much known, has contributed in a meats
degree to inspire the Portuguese recently as respects the
union of the whole psainsola with as antipathy they have
not always felt, at least so greatly. This is the ease
in question. It appears that a abort time before the
last insurrection W. Uonsekaaravo, who saw the tide of
the revolution riling and inamobeg mom and mom the
throne of Isabella IL, conceived the plan, in order to
make a diversion as respected domestic dillicidties, of in-
vading Portugal sad thus reaming the Ibeno Union by
actual force for the benefit of era. It is even added
that to guard spinet the realisation of this project the
Portuguese goverment, which bad notice of it, intended
to fortify Li-bon. A oircumetanee which seems to sup-
port what has just been mid is the precipitate departure
of the Spanish 'planter from Portugal, who, as woe era he
heard of the eight of Queen Isabella, left his post with-
cnt even taking leave of the Sovereign to whom he was
accredited.

THE RUMOUR OF THIS MORNING.

A et•storit, which has been flying about the
Clubs for some days past, and which our Minis-
tette' contemporaries have made credible by em-
phatic contradictions, has this morning acquired a
certain consistency by its reproduction, with all
the emphasis of type, in the columns of a metropo-
litan and of a provincial contemporary. Assuming
for the moment that the rumour is well-founded,
we need not hesitate to acknowledge that it
would not be so startling as it seems. There
might be at least three obvious motives for
this sudden retreat, and in political strategy, as
on the field of war, a timely retreat is
sometimes an operation in which the most
brilliant faculties of generalship the rapid
and decisive coup d'oeil, the broad and compre-
hensive survey of all the chances and combina-
tions of a campaign, fertility of resource, and the
art of divining difficulties to come, and eluding
defeat with a semblance of precipitation, and
confounding the enemy's tactics by leaving
him master of an exposed positicn, with an army
which has not seen fire—are displayed to the
highest advantage. What are the elements of the
present situation of parties ? The Cabinet was
confessedly in a minority in the last Parliament,
and had been twice and thrice handsomely beaten
in divisions on a momentous question of imperial
policy. Parliament was not dissolved, indeed,
because the Government was in a minority, but
because it no longer represented the enlarged con-
stituencies. To theme enlarged constituencies
the Cabinet proposed to appeal for a verdict
on its declared resistance to the diseetablish-
ment and disendowment of the Irish Church. The
constituencies have responded to the appeal by
sending back to the Rouse of Commons a majority
of more than one hundred pledged to support
Mr. GLAntrrosz, and to seize the earliest occasion
of ousting the present Ministers from office. Ac-
cording to constitutional form and usage it
was expected that the Government, finding
itself in a minority in the present as in the last
Rouse of Commons would meet the now Parlia-
ment, and await its formal ratification of the
verdict of the country, without compromising the
neutrality of the Crown by a single misguardcd
word in the speech from the Throne. In this way,
it is true, the parliamentary majority would
cb' sin the satisfaction which is its due, while the
administration would ba in a condition to retire
from ir.wer without loss of dignity. But this
would be a simple and straightforward and cus-
tomary course. And • simple, straightforward,

LAMBETH.

On the name of Mazy Tbwaites being called, who
claimed in reeked of 2, Ilertfoltl-road, CansberweU New.
read, the retu.ng tarrister simply said—l shall take no
nenee of that eats'. (A laugh.)
The het of occupiers lately known as "compound house-
holders" was then investigated. and a large proportion of
the new name were►tt leek out in theCiumberwell distr.ct,
and only thole allowed where the persons were known to
the rate collectors as basing occupied continuoady for
twelve months, or where they appeared in person to
defend their clam. Among those struck out wan the
name of thosuush Daniel ss7, Old Kent-road, the re-
vising Lairister remarking that had that holy, or any oi,e
for her, appeared, he would have beard them in favour of
the claim.

In the course of the somewhat dull work of podponing
or stnking out the names of gentlemen who del not
appear, the revising barrister said (after Eome twenty-
bve claims had been passed) that those individuals ought
to be present to produce their nioeipta for rent, &c. ; but
it would really seem that they did not care much for a vote.
In u number of cases in which it was proved that the
landlorde had paid, bent fide, the rates in the name of
the tenant, the claimants were placed on the regiater of
voters, the revising barrister stating that be was decidedly
in favour of the validity of such an arrangement, which
had been most beneficially carried out by Mims Burdett
Coutta's agent, and other owners of large premises used
as model lodging houses.
The court was then adjourned till to-day.

71111 REGINTILATION OOURTB.

The Star complains that one of the barristers yesterday
gave what seemed to be an illustration of a disposition to
adopt a penal instead of a generous reading of the Re-
form het, by objecting to the word rooms or apartments
u an insufficient desoription of the lodgings on which
any claim for the franchise was made. Against all such
excessive Aridness as this, the Star hopes it will be the
general desire of public mon and public writers to protest.
After all the Reform Bill was an enfranchising measure,
and should be so interpreted. Revising barristers are not
placed in their seats of judgment to restrict the fran-
chise, or to dole it out with pinching and niggard band.
They are to guard against bad faith, to prevent fraud, to
insist on the fulfilment of the formalities of the law. But
beyond this they are not called upon to go. Morally con-
vinced of a claimant's good faith, provided with a fair
reply to any objections that may be urged against his
claim, and satisfied that all the stipulations of the law
have been met, a revising barrister is bound liberally and
freely to carry out for the benefit of such a claimant the
act he sits to administer.

THE IRA NOHISE FOR WOMEN.

UNTIL the female franchise question is definitely
settled by the Court of Common Pleas the public
is likely to hear a good deal about the political claims
of women. Several of the revising barristers had
the subject brought prominently before thorn yes-
terday. At Westminster, Mr. NASMAU J. Soma
" was clearly of opinion that the word ' man' in
" the Reform Act must be taken to mean male
" person, and that females wore not entitled to the

THE DARK SPOTS AGAIN.

The International Bulletin of Dresden contains
the following:
Ws as assert in the most positive manner that in ex-
pectation of a war with France, which in the belief of
Prussia will break out this autumn, or at furthest the
beginning of next spring, the Minister of War at Berlin
transmitted about a fortnight back to our staff a very de-
tailed plan of the campaign, in which are pointed out
with much clearness and precision the strategic points
which the 12th Corps (the Saxon) ought to occupy on the
first signal.
The Poet of Berlin gars:

If WILZIG* pretends to aired ua from "unattainable
hopes," there is in this a case of war ; but it will not be
the act or the fault of Germany. War may issue from
this very pretension to subject us to Preach dictation.
The Liber&, in an article with the curi-
ous heading, " The Nymph Galatea," laughs at
the notion of Prussia dismissing 120,000 men at the
mc,u,uuL W 1.4 r. tail/ is 1101AJL Ik/wily preparing for
war, and her king of 76 years of age is peram-
bulating his dominions inspecting his troops.
" Prussia is disarming," says Le Libert4, " very
much after the fashion that Galatea fled from her
lover—' she fled, but she desired to be seen.' Let
us imitate the lover in Virgil ; let us not take the
Prussian nymph at her word, but let u' follow
her behind the willows."

A communication in thu Correvondareet Ratio.
from Vienna nays:
We know perfectly well here what to think about a
winter campaign. But there is a general apprehension
that, if not this year. a conflict will take place next year
between France and Germany.

THE INTERNATIONAL WORKING MEN'S
CONGRESS.

The workmen at the International Working
Men's Congress et Brussels have protested against
war between France and Germany. "We
regret," says the Debate, " that the work-
men of all the nations assembled in
Belgium have shown themselves animated by
loss pacific intentions in regard to real property,
which they wish to transfer into the hands of the
State, and in regard to capital, which they say is
not entitled to any interest. It is profoundly sad
to see the miserable sophisms of the communistic
sects, and the ridiculous declamations of Proudhon,
still seriously adopted by a portion of the working
classes."

HACKNEY.

Mr. Al on Bathurst, the barrister appointed
by the Lord Chief Justice to revise the list of voters for
the new borough of Hackney commenced proceedings this
morning at the New Town Hall. AS there are a great
number of claims, both on the part of householders and
lodgers, and as in some cases the names of women have
been put on the list by the overseers, very great interest is
felt in the revision, especially as there are so many gentle-
men of every shade of political opinion who are anxious
to represent the new constituency. It was arranged that the
parish of St. John, Hackney, should be first proceeded with,
and the Revising Barrister said that ho would take
St. Leonard, Shoreditch, if possible, to-morrow, and
St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, not before Thursday. There
is nothing remarkable in the claims of householders put
in by either party, and the objections are of the ordinary
character. With regard to the lodger elaims there is
likely to be some hard fighting, as extraordinary efforts have
been made both by the liberals and conservatives to put
their friends and supporters on the lists. The Revising
Barrister mild he would not take lodger claims until the
afternoon.

Tho Revising Barrister decided this morning
against the admission of women on the register, on the
ground that if the legislature had intended it the qualifi-
cation would have been unequivocally expressed. The
acts of Henry VI. acid "people," and even under that
wide term women were never admitted. The Revising
Barrister granted a case for appeal.

The 71rnes thinks we may now take it for granted that
ninety-nine travellers out of a hundred would much pre-
fer to have both the carriage doors unlocked. Nor does
it follow that what in the infancy of railway travelling
may have been a wise precaution is a judicious practice
etill. People must have learnt something in twenty years'
experience of the system, and what they have ►earnt, as
far as we can judge, tells directly against the prudes in
question. They carry key, of their own, so'. as to unlock
doors at their own discretion. They do not choose to be
exposed in helpless confinement to:the chances of a railway
journey, and railway directors who profess, and, perhaps,
sincerely, to be thinking only of the interests of the public,
might do wisely in adopting the opinion which the pabilo
has instinctively formed for itself.

AN IRISH ARCHDEACON ON THE IRIS!!

CHURCII.

Tu clergy of the Irish Church are becoming
suspicious of their ostensible defenders. The lan-
guage of some of the Conservative newspapers
and of ministerial speakers at public meetings,
rendirs them uneasy. The whisper of " betrayal "
is heard. " I dread Mr. DISRAELI'S treachery,"
writes the Rev. Feeriamex Comm, Archdeacon of
Raphoe, to the Dublin Evening Mail, of yesterday,
" much more than Mr. GLADSTONVB open and
" undisguised hostility." Disgusted by the ex-
perience of the past, and the aspect of things,
the Archdeacon adds :—" Sir, I am no prophet,
" or prophet's son, but I do firmly believe that
" the hour is fast approaching—nay, has already
" arrived—when, if Irish churchmen would
wish to retain one shred of purity,
" freedom, or independence, we must dissolve
" our connection with the State. That oonnoction
" in past times, whatever benefit it may have owe,-
" sionally conferred, has on the whole been in-
" jurioua to us. Unprincipled statesmen have
" used it—alas ! too often—as an engine to weaken
" and degrade us in public estimation, and to in-
" troduce into our ranks, and promote to positions
" of influence and command, men utterly incom-
" patent and unworthy." To this pass have Mr.
Dunlaßm's taotioe towards the Church brought its
more earnest members. If he remains in office
much longer we shall have English Archdeacons
writing in the same sense of the Church of Eng-
land.

LAKBETIL

This morning Mr. T. LT Breton proceeded
with the revision of the list of voters for Lambeth, com-
mencing with the district of St. Mary Newington.
Mr. S. Merriman and Mr. Hartwell appeared for the
Lambeth Lodger Registration Association ; Mr. Strike to
defend the claims of lodgers; Mews. Barnard, Mayer, and
Whitely, for the Conservative Registration Association.
At the opening of the court a great many lers were
present to press their claims, and-it was &mane that in
order to facilitate their getting back to their various occu-
pations, their cases should be taken at coos. I'vtst of any
great importance arose in the course of in tioa, no
claimants being struck off and only two oases irdrrncel.
In one cairn a voter named Cunene who rented a
with his mother claimed a vote stating that he paid Ss. a
week, but it appearing that his brother occesicsially slept
there the case was adjourned. In another Cale it was ob-
jected that the landlord did not reside in the same hones,
but the rung barrister ruled that the objection was not
a good one, and the claim was allowed.
The Revising Barrister than proceeded with the house-
holder claims. Several were disallowed for nonresidence
or non-rating, but no point of interest arose during the
examination of the list. His honour stated that the lists
were admirably made out by the parish authorities.
The Reeking Barrister then announced that it would
take him from this period (12 o'clock) to halt-past 1 to go
through the list for the purpose of making verbal corm-
tions, and that he would premed with the lodger Glenna at

failed to see that the design upon which they .
was one of the most irrational and absurd that ever
entered into the mind of man ; that the chances
were against the escape of BURILZ ; and that
the effect upon the English public would be to
make all classes close up and stand like a solid
wall against the enemies of its peace. Above all,
they would have learned from the experience of

From the first the Fenian organization has been

THE RE-ELECTION OF

TEE peculiar circumstances in which a change of
government is at the present moment taking place
have given rise to a difficulty which will
materially affect the course of business in Par-
liament. The new members of the House of Com-
mons will meet and find no ministers to greet them
or to arrange and conduct the course of public
business. The situation in which the sudden re-
signation of Mr. DIDEAZU has placed the
House of Commons in unprecedented. The con-
duct of Lord GODERICH has been mentioned as
parallel, but when Oonzaren resigned, the new
ministry had not to meet a new parliament.
Those of the new ministers who may be members
of the House of Commons will be in a most uncer-
tain position. They will have accepted offices by
which their seats are vacated before they have
actually taken them. It is a well-knowit, rule
of the House of Commons that no business
shall be proceeded with before the delivery qf the
Speech from the Throne, and this rule applies to
the issue of writs. If, therefore, a 'peach) from
the throne were delivered and a debate arose.upon
it, that debate must take place in the afeahice of
the responsible advisers of the Crown. Sup-
posing, however, that the Opposition : were

in moderation and courtesy, or
tLat the speech was so merely formal as to
afford no scope for debate, still the time which
must necessarily elapse between the issue of the
writs and the reappearance of Ministers in their
places would be so long as to trench
upon the Christmas holidays. There is an
alternative course, which will probably
be adopted. A recent statute , enables the
Speaker to issue writs for elections during the
recess. If then —Mr. DISRAELI'S resignation
having superseded the special business of a winter
cession—the House met, and was duly constituted
by the swearing in of members and the choice of
a Speaker, a prorogation until the boginning of
February might take place, and the Ministry bo
c* nveniently re-elected during the interval.
