GOODWOOD RACES.

July, explained that the hurdles spoken to as being
broken on the north side, and thrown into the air and
at the police, were broken by accident from people stand-
ing on them. He saw some boys with pieces of the
wooden hurdles on their shoulders, who, on being told
the police were coming, threw them away over the heads
of the people as the readiest way of getting rid of them,
and ran off; in so doing one piece fell in the drive, and
he heard a policeman was struck.
Mr. Ellice called the attention of the commissioners
to the fact that pieces of hurdles were thrown at the
police from other directions than that spoken to by the
last witness.

Sir Richard Mayne was recalled, and stated that
Captain Hay, his brother commissioner, was not con-
cerned or responsible for the arrangements of the Ist
July. There is a regulation for the distribution of the
duties of the commissioners of police, under which wit-
ness was solely responsible for the arrangements made
on such occasions as the Ist of July. The acting in-
spector had nothing to do with the proceedings of that
day.
Mr. Mitchell handed in the evidence taken by the
magistrate's clerk, in the case of Mr. Mair, to show the
constables had given different evidence before the com-
missioners to that before the magistrates.
The Chief Commissioner said they could not receive
them as facts, but as pointing out the discrepancy alluded
to by Mr. Mitchell.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
The Marquis of SALISBURY presented several
petitions on the subject of the Metropolitan Local Man-
agement Bill.
Lord PORTMAN presented a petition from Bat-
tersea, praying that the rights of the parish might be re-
cognised in the bill.
Lord MONTEAGLE moved for copies of the corre-
spondence tbat had taken place upon the subject of the
taxation of India.—Agreed to.

THE ROYAL SOCIETY.
Lord BROUGHAM called attention to the circum-
stance of the -st ithdrawal of the grant of 1,000/.,
which bad been for a great many years given
to the Royal Society, and observed that such au
act must have proceeded from a misunderstanding of the
subject. That grant, however small, had enabled that
learned body to further the progress of the Arts and
Sciences—(hear, hear)—and to confer great benefit
upon the community at large. He hoped the
Government would take the earliest opportunity of re-
verting to the old practice, by proposing a renewal of
the grant. The noble and learned lord then proceeded
to read a letter eulogising the French Exhibition,
for the advancement made by our continental
neighbours in the arts and sciences, and to express the
earnest desire that the Government would exert them-
selves to foster and encourage all the scientific establish-
ments in this country.
Earl GRANVILLE was understood to express re-
gret at the discontinuance of the grant to the Royal
Society. The grant was originally made from a limited
fund, whose objeet was specially to aid certain purposes,
and it was discontinued in consequence of the grant to
the Royal Society not being of that character.
The repeated calls made upon the fund com-
pelled them to withhold the usual grant, but
be promised his noble friend, however, that any applica-
tion from the Royal Society for aid should receive the
best consideration of her Majesty's Government.
RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM said that at that late period of
the session he could not hope to carry this bill, but he
wished to inform their lordships that the principle of it,
as set forth in the preamble, had the entire concurrence
of his noble and learned friend Lord Lyndhurst.
METROPOLITAN LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL.
Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from certain
vestrymen of St. Pancras and St. Maryiebone, praying
that the dissolution of the old vestries under this bill
might be uniform and simultaneous throughout the me-
tropolis. The noble earl also presented two other peti-
tion-3 to the same effect.
Lord WODEHOUSE likewise presented a petition on
the same subject, and moved that their lordships go into
committee upon the bill.—Agreed to.
In clause 3.
Lord PORTMAN moved that the words " within one
month after the passing of this act" be altered to " on or
before the 10th of October."—Agreed to.
In clause 4,
The Marquis of SALISBURY proposed to insert the
words " shall appoint not more than four fit and proper
persons to be commissioners."—Agreed to.
On clause 7,
Earl FORTESCUE proposed an amendment, pro-
viding for the simultaneous dissolution of all the old ves-
tries. He proposed likewise that the bill should come into
operation in the month of November instead of October.
Lord PORTMAN supported the amendment.
Lord WODEHOUSE defended the clause as it stood,
on account of the confusion which, it was feared, would
be created if the whole of the metropolitan elections took
place on the same day. The noble lord intimated, how-
ever, his willingness to accede to the proposal of the
noble earl.
The amendments were then agreed to.
Clause 10 was omitted.
On clause 14,
The Marquis of SALISBURY objected to the mode
proposed of having the voting papers distributed and
collected by the returning officer or his agents, and moved
as an amendment that they should be returned through
the Post-office.
Lord WODEHOUSE defended the clause as it
stood.
Lord MONTEAGLE feared that a door would be
opened to fraud by allowing voting papers to be dis-
tributed and collected by a public officer. Frauds of this
kind bad been perpetrated at elections for poor-law
guardians in Leeds and other places, where all sorts of
irregularities had been committed in the signing of the
voting papers. He would have the voting papers
placed before the returning officer by the electors them-
selves ; there were no other means of preventing fraud.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY doubted whether any
large proportion of voters would ever be induced to vote
personally. To require them to deliver their own voting
papers would destroy the whole benefit arising from that
mode of voting.
After a conversation the amendment was withdrawn,
but was again proposed as an amendment to clause 18.
Their lordships divided—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority
—4
Clauses up to 43 were agreed to with some slight
amendments.
On clause 49,
Lord PORTMAN moved to insert words the effect of

which would be that, instead of the central board by a

majority electing the chairman, the board should nom
nate three persons, and that the Secretary of State
should select the chairman from those three.
The amendment was agreed to.
The Earl of POWIS moved to add a proviso that the
chairman of the board should not sit in Parliament.
Earl GRANVILLE and Lord WODEHOUSE opposed the
proviso.
After some discussion the proviso was negatived with-
out a division.
The clause was then agreed to, as were clauses up to
73,
Several other clauses were agreed to, without occa-
sioning any remark.
On the 91st clause,
Lord PORTMAN said be bad taken an objection to
the summary measure of transferring to a new body the
mass of unknown powers which existed by virtue of
some 250 different local and special acts. He thought
it quite right that all those acts should be repealed, and
that all the useful powers which had been created by
them should be placed in the body by which the govern-
ment of the metropolis was to be henceforth adminis-
tered. But it would be a great pity to revive obsolete
powers and invest them in a new body, without know-
ing precisely what they were. By such an act it was
possible that great mischief in future might unintention-
ally be caused. He was glad to observe, however, that
his noble friend below him (Lord Wodehouse) had re-
solved to provide against one such unfortunate effect of
the original bill, by the insertion of a proviso excepting
the commissioners of baths and wash-houses, the burial
boards, and other institutions of that kind, from those
other bodies whose powers it was proposed to vest
henceforth in the Metropolitan Board of Works.
After a few words from the Earl of Powis and Lord
WODEROUSE, the clause, as amended, was agreed to.
A great many of the succeeding clauses were passed,
and only a short conversation arose upon them now and
then, the purport of which was seldom made intelligible
to the reporters, as the noble lords who took part in it,
the Marquis of Salisbury, the Eatl of Powis, Lord Port-
man, and Lord Wodehouse addressed each other in a
lo w tone of voice across the table. It was understood
that the conversation referred to matters of detail, such
as the power of opening the streets for the purpose of
laying down gas pipes and water pipes, and the autho-
rity of vestries to declare the existence of a nuisance.
On clause 136,
The Earl of CARNARVON took occasion to com-
ment upon the means provided for completing the sewer-
age of the metropolis, and to express his apprehensions
lest the authority with which the metropolitan board
was to be endowed should not be effectually employed
to secure the great object intended.
The remaining clauses, numbering in all 243, and the
schedules, were agreed to, and the house resumed.
COURT OF JUDICATURE
(PRINCE OF WALES
BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
TURNPIKE ACT CONTINUANCE (IRELAND)
BILL.

Earl GRANVILLE moved to suspend the order of
the house with regard to the reading no bills a second
time after a certain day in favour of this bill.
The resolution was agreed to, and the bill was read a
second time.
OFFICE OF SPEAKER BILL.

Earl GRANVILLE moved a similar resolution with
regard to this bill, to the effect that " the circumstances
which render legi4lation on the subject-matter of this bill
expedient are, in the opinion of this house, of such
urgency as to render the immediate consideration of the
same necesary."—Agreed to.
The bill was then read a second time.
BILLS OF LADING (No. 2) BILL.
The report of amendments on this bill was received.
The following bills were severally read a third time,
and passed :—Turnpike Trusts Arrangements ; Sale of
Spirits (Ireland) ; Slave Trade (Sherbro) Bills.
Their lordships adjourned at a few minutes before ten
o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock.
The Lords' Amendments to the London and South
Western Railway Bill were considered and agreed to.
THE SUNDAY BEER ACT.
Mr. MASSEY presented several petitions from various
parts of the metropolis, praying for a modification of the
Sunday Beer Act of last session.
TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS TO THE
COLONIES,
On the order of the day fo, the house going into com-
mittee of supply,
Mr. F. SCULLY called attention to the tax of ono
penny lately imposed on the transmission opience,
ap newspapers
to the colonies, which be said was a great inconvenience,
especially to the humbler classes.
Mr. WILSON said, abouttwo years ago a ci.,rcutloa.br
by all
as
addressed to the colonies by the Treasury, offering to re-
duce the postage of letters to 6d., and put a stamp
ld. on newspapers, which was gladly acceded duty of
peeffde.cted,
the colonies with one or two exceptions.
hoped,
however, some further arrangements
mightsubject dropped.
and the matter should be considered.
After a few remarks from Mr.
WMahon, and Mr. Alcock, theThornely, Mr.

COMMISSARIAT EXPENSES.
Mr. LABOUCHERE drew attention to the want o.
control on the part of the house over the very large sums
