Mr. BO CIVERIE iaiLl the only cihieet a the WA PIA ft
carry out a convention with fral/63. The truth was, Siv
G,orge Pe.cheil represented a great poaching interest.
The house divided—
For going into committee
Against it
Majority —49
The house accordingly went into comwittee, and the
various clauses were agreed to.
SALE OF BEER, &c., BILL.

On the motion for going into committee,
The Marquis of BLANDFORD complained of the haste
with which this measure was being passed through the
house. The evidence taken before the committee was not
complete, and he thought some further inquiry should be
made into the working of the act of last session. He
moved that the house resolve itself into committee that
day three months.
Mr. FRE:WEN seconded the amendment.

-
Mr. ALCOCK said tho bill was one of pressing urgency,
and ought to be passed into law during tlle. present

session.
Mr. H. BERKELEY said the balance of evidence was
so strongly against the act of last session, that the com-
mittee resolved to report that the subject was one which
called for immediate legislation.
Mr. KINNAIRD said the evidence was not in the
hands of honourable members, and until it was printed no
further progress should be made with the bill.
Sir J. SHELLEY suggested that the committee might
bo put off, not for three months, but for three days. It
was but fair that honourable members should have an op-
portunity of reading the evidence.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD had no objection to alter
his amendment so far as to put off the coennittoo for six
days only.
Mr. NAPIER supported and Lord EBRINGTON opposed
the amendment.
Sir W. JOLLIFFE urged the necessity of an immediate
alteration of the present law.
Mr. GLA DSTONE said the house, as a general rule,
should nut pass bills founded upon evidence taken before
select committees; but the present measure was one of an
exceptionable character, cad he would like to hear the
opinion of the Government on the subject
Lord PALMERSTON saw no reason why the house
should not go into committee and consider the clauses of
the bill without waiting for the evidence.
Mr. VILLIERS explained that this bill did not totally
but only partially repeal the bill of last session.
The house divided, when the numbers were—
For going into committee
Against it
Majority....

,-. -52

The house therefore went into committee. The clause
giving an appeal against a conviction under this act was
withdrawn.

Tho other clauses were agreed to.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD proposed a clause to 'limit
the operation of the bill to the metropolitan districts.
(Oh. oh.)
Mr. BERKELEY hoped the house would not assent to
suca a clause.

The clause was negatived without a division.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY TESTS.

Mr. HEYWOOD moved that the proposal of a new sub-
scription of Church of England membership for professor-
ships in general learning, in addition to optional religious
tests for the degree of bachelor in the lay faculties at Ox-
ford, is directly opposed to the spirit and policy of recent
legislation, and meets with the disapproval of this house.
After a short conversation the motion was negatived, and
the house adjourned at half-past two o'clock.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES. -TUESDAY.

A. dreary commencement. Throughout the morning
rain fell with a steady, drenching persistency, which
effectually deterred pleasure folk from visltingthe course.
The muster of general company was consequently very
t.catity. The balcony of the Grand Stand had few occu-
pants ; and the Lawn, where beauty, rank, and fashion
usually assemble, wa.4 quite deserted.

For some time after the commencement of the races
fog and drizzling mist rendered it impossible to see what
was going o❑ until the horses were within a short dis-
tance of the chair.

"The fieldera" were, however, fortunate, all the
favourites, except Honeysuckle, being defeated.
The Stewards' Cup brought out 29 runners, and the
rain and fog having partially cleared off, the effect of
the intermingling colours of the jockeys as the hor,es de-
scended the hill was extremely gay and picturesque. In
the betting Cineas took the lead at 3 to 1, but in the
race he never once showed sufficiently forward to sustain
the hopes of his backers. Clotilda, on whom several in-
vestments were made at 25 to 1, achieved a somewhat
easy victory.
The most important incident, however, which marked
the sport to-day was the signal defeat of Fly-by-Night,
the first favourite for the Derby, 1856, and the success of
Mary Copp, a filly, which formerly belonged to Lord
Eglinton, but which was recently purchased with others
of that nobleman's ctud, by Mr. J. M. Stanley. Pier
to the race 1,500 to 100 was taken about Flyby-Night
winning his engagement to-day and the Derby next
year.
The subjoined return will indicate the character of
the racing.

rumour was briskly circulated to the effect that Epami•

it nevertheless created a considerable sensation. The
most important movements were with reference to
Quince and Homily, both of whom bad an advancing
tendency. Not a bet on "The Cup" came under our
notice.
The small amount of business that was transacted was
