NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.-TUESDAY.

" The other side of the Ditch" is an agreeable change
from the rather sterile aspect of that portion of the Heath
generally used for racing, and the July Meeting, if the
weather be but propitious, is on 3 of the pleasantest 'of the
gatherings at headquarters. The great interest of to-day,
or, indeed, of the whole week, centred in the meeting of
Liddington and the Duke in the July, their previous per-
tormances marling them out as the two best of the young
outs the year has yet shown. The other events were devoid
of interest, and to-day's card was meagre in the extreme.
The sm,finess of the field fot: the principal event checked
speculation to some extent, nothing being backed but the
two cracks. Both had an eager crowd httending the sad.
dling, while the Duo do Morny's Lelio, one of the hand-
somest West Australian's we have yet seen, commanded
universal admiration, though looking hardly as fit as he
might have been. Af ter.oscillating all the morning, Mr
Merry's horse was the favourite at the close. The issue,
as was expected, was left to the two favourites, who came
together half a mile from home, the Duke apparently hay-
!ng the beet of it at the plantation, but Lidding;on collared
him within a few yards of the chair, and to the astonish-
ment of the spectators snatched the race out of the fire by a
neck. Judd was, in fact, " caught napping," and the race
therefore cannot be considered as a true run one.
The attendance was large for a July Meeting, and the
weather ev<,rything that could be desired.
A t.pic of conversation has been afforded the Newmarket
habitues by William Butler having resigned the case of
Lord Statnrord's horses. His I,,rd-hip's new trainer is
William Swi h, who has been for some time in a similar
capacity with the Due de Molny.

whip over the neck before reaching the sinning post. On
investigation, the acting steward overrtled the first objec-
tion, but referred the second to the Jockey Club, as it was
not clear to him whether it was accidental or otherwise.

The French Press and the Conference,

All the Paris journals have commented on the
failure of the Conference, but none with more tell-
ing affect than the following remarks of the &Siecle ;
—"ln the Conference the attitude of the English
Cabinet has certainly nut bean what it, ought to
nave been, for nothing could he more vacillating or
more obscure. What a fall elf was there from the
discussions in the Congress of Paris ; acd people,
on reading the protocols, ask themselves whether
the English Plenipotenti.oi,s have lost the habit of
speaking. First, they allowed Denmark to be
beaten on the Tit ration of the blockade. As the
allies were occupjing Jutland, the D,nes ought
to have had at least soma compensation. On
the contrary, the blockade, the only arm which
they poesessed, was taken from them, and
hostilities were only suspended on the con-
dition that it should be r:tised. The Earl
of Clarendon coriti:led himself to mildly protest-
jog, but by his lengusge every one could see that bet
felt that, on the blockade being raised by Denmark,
German commerce breathed ag-in, an Germany
could.no longer be moved by means of the lever of
'ear. Ater having allowed, in the second and third
si ting of the Conference, Denmark to be beaten on
the question of the blockade, England in the fourth
-Ming abandoned with an unexampled facility the
Treaty of London made in 1851-52. Instead of
taking that treaty as the starting-point for the die.
cession, she accepted the accord on the basis of fresh
engagements, as if what was certain should ever be
abandoned for the uncertain. The English Plenipo-
tentiaries, before thus sweeping away the Treaty of
London, should have at least required to know what
the allies intended to put into is place, and the
D anis'a Plenipotentiary, M. Qaaade, who con
tended for the country with a rare merit, reproached
them with it more than once. a What is asked of
?' he said; we cannot propose conditions; we
ere guaranteed by the Treaty of 1852 You tear i.
up; tell us what you want; we have nothing to
propose. It is for you, who put something in fee
place of the Treaty to say what that something is.'
Ater having abandoned the Danes on the enhj2ets
of the blockade and the rreaty, the English Pleni-
potentiaries very soon abandoned them also on the
qeestion of Schleswig ;—' We m indeed, give up
Rutstein, but there has never been a question of a
Federal execution in Schleswig. That country is
Danish. Take Holstein and leave us.' But even
an that point Denmark was not supported, and in
the sitting of the 28th May, Earl Russell declared,
with what we consider to be an unqualified impru-
dence. that, order to prevent any future dispute,
and satisfy Germany, Holstein must ha entirely se-
parated from the Danish monarchy with Lauenburg
and the southern part of Schleswig.' This was
sacr,ficlng the protege, instead of saving it. Such a
declaration was a formal recognition of the preten-
sions of Germany. It was placing the brutal tact in
the pace of rig',t. In advancing it, Earl Russell
should have been sure that the aides would accept it.
hat, being henceforth certain of their triumph,
they had no longer need to observe any restraint ;
they accordingly rejected succ seively everything
that was proposed—the line of the Schlei, the Main-
donacent of the right of fortification in the Duchies,
and they also dem :tided Tondern in addition." But
it is above ell to E iri Russell that the article attri-
butes the failure of the negotiations :—" the Presi-
dent, Earl Russell," it says, "did not know how
to direct a Conference, and every one spoke on
his own account. There was no common centre of
resistance. Every one felt that a head was wanting
in that assembly of diplomatists, and that England,
who was to have provided it, did not know what
she wanted. She got tip' the Conference, she pre-
sided over it without any fixed idea, and even with-
out the determination to arrive by some means at
peace ; in a word, she was below, instead of above,
net: mission. She must be confririered as doubly
guilty. The fear ot America and France which she
new nvinitesrs is not sufficient to absolve her. Count
de B.,,marek, in renewing the Holy Alliance, prove,-
to her that she has gone astray. She is now isolated
and alone, and ti,s compromised all the future of
the liberty of Europe."

THE PRESENTATION ( F HUDDERSFIELD —A
requisition hss been addressed to Ltut.-Colonel
Crossland by the electors of Huddersfield. It was signed
by 95) electors, the number who voted for Mr Leathern hav-
ing been only 800. At a meeting held last night Lieut.-
Colonel Crossland said he would go to the pull as a Re-
termer. He was in favour of a£6 borough and £lO county
franchise, and opposed to the ballot. He would advocate a
just settlement of the church-rate qaestion. He approved
the course of Government towards Ametica. He was of
opinion that it w .uld b 3 suicidal in us to interfere in the
Dauiah war, the time fur our interference being peat. He
believed, however, that we had wronged Denmark by rais-
ing her expt.'etatiuns.
LAN CASII IRE EMIGRANTS TO AMERICA.—The
Ashton Reporter publishes the following letter from
an emigrant to the United States :—" Webster, June 10
1864 Dear Sister,--Keep your spirits up; I have tot eep
mine up. You wish you had come with us. It you had
you would have been like me, you would have cried many
an hour, and wished yourself back. I have done it many
a time. Lots of our people have gone away; some will
never come back. He (the master) wanted us to work for
very low wa;es. We shall be straight with the master in
about nine months; we have to pay £9 each for our passage
money. You say you like money, We can get it here,
and we know how to spend it. Butter is 2s. per lb, sugar
10d. ; and everything else in proportion. The stuff you
give 6d, a yard for we give 2s. id.; so you see if we get
good money we can spend it. The reason why the peo-
ple ran away was, he wanted us to wink for very
low wages, and sign a paper saying we would work
the hours ha wanted us, and to pay Lt 2 each for our pas-
sage. When we would net sign the papers he stepped the
stores, and would not let us have anything to eat; so we
said it we must not have anything to eat we would not
work ; and we call:sd a meeting, and three men went to
seek work for us all, but he overtook them and locked them
up, It was Saturday, and the men had all to keep out of
sight, or he would have locked them all up. But the three
made their escape on the Sunday, and went to different
counties to find out what wages were being paid. Some he
has got back, and he is giving them what they could get
elsewhere. In a very little time he would have had us like
slaves if we would have allowed him, but we told hies we
were in a tree country. We wrote to the British Consul for
protccsion, and he pretended all for us, but the master sent
for him to breakfast, and then he pleaded for the master.
Ile cannot lock the women up ; they can go away any day.
Some went away with three chemises and a bundle under
their hoops, lycause he would not let them take their boxes.
Talk about Tom's Cabin," but I have seen it since
1 came here. The master went to Canada four years
since, end brought a lot of French Canadians, and a lot of
them went away. Those who stayed he aid not give any
wages to fcr 12 months. Two years since he went to Ire-
land and brought a lot of Irish, and a lot of then went
away, and now he has been to Eugland for a lot of English.
He thought we were greenhorns, but wo are jacksharps.
He is very kind to us now. We don't. Jet our wages, but
wa have a book, and he lets us have the money we ask
for—the rest he keeps for our passage money. This is the

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS--This Day.
The SPEAKER. cook the chair at twenty minutes past
twelve o'cluclr.

PRIVATE LUSINESS.

The Lords' amendments to the Wisbelch Wafer and
Stockport and Ashton Roads Bills were considered and
agreed to.
The Haylings Railway Bill was read a third time and
passed.
TRESPASS (IRELAND) BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.

On clause 1

Mr BAGWELL said he had opposed this bill in all its
st.ges, because ha believed it to be both unjust and im
politic. It was unjust, because it took away that which
belonged to the tenants arid gave it to the landlord, and im-
politic because it would add one more incentive to a crime it
a country which had long been pre-eminent for that mis-
tortune. The game laws were GO unpopular in Englauii
that mary of the most txcen6ive landowners in Englind
had long given up the game preserving, and Sir Hero
Verney gave strong evidence against such a practice befor,
a committee that had considered the matter, and some othe,
authori,ies had expressed similar opinions. True, then
had been no petitions /3, esented against the bill, but it wet,
a matter of exit., me diflimlty to obtain a public expression
of op Mon now in Ireland, whether it was up in the gum
lase or upon a matter that had occupied their attentim.
for the last two evenings. The effect of the measure would
be to introduce thetame laws of this country, with all its
crime and misery, into Ireland, and he f fr one would never
consent to such a proposition. A return had been made ti
di:, house within the last few we. ks, which showed that the
convictions for offences against the game laws amountee
(luting the six years from 1857 to 1862 to no less than
30,673, and in Scotland for the same pe iod to 3,226, Ht
had in no way exaggerated the figures set down
in the return, but every member could satisfy
himself of the accuracy of the figures by consulting
the document itself. In order to get rid of the bill alto-
gether, he should move that the chairman do now leave the
chair.

Mr. DAWSON thought an erroneous impression existed
with respect to the objects of this bill, and he therefore
should oppose the motion.
Mr M'CAN.N condemned the bill as one calculated to in-
flict the greatest injury upon Ireland. When he looked
around at the state of the house, he found that, with twt
exceptions, every English member was absent. (Order,
order.)
The SPEAKER interrupted the hon. member, and told
him he must an me his observations strictly to the motioi,
before the house.

M'MAHON thought that the hon. member was no;
infringing the rules of the house; however, he would a;
once bow to the decision of the chairman. He objected ti
the measure, and therefore he should support the motion
for Meeting; the bill.

Sir C. O'LOUGHLIN suggested that the bill should bi
withdrawn, as there appeared no pr. spect of its being passec
this session. Re must say he was in i ivuar of the prin
cip!e of the bill, but the great distance o. time since its first
introduction had caused several hon. members to think that
it would no! be pluceeded with outing the present session.

'I he IiTTO lINEY-GEN ELUL for Ireland said the bill
would occasion a greet aileratiun in the law in Ireland, au,
there Fore, btfure such a circunistence occurred, it ought to
receive the greatest consideration.
Mr O. GORE supported the bill, which he thought was
hut fair towards both landlord abd tenant.

Mr MONSELL suggested that a compromise might be
arrived at by accep,ing the amendment of the hon. member
for Ycughel. The amendment would give to persons
having property in game a means of asserting their right.
Mr LONGFIELD was of opinion that much bentfi.
would resull from the passing of the bill.

Mr. M'MAHON said the bill of IS3I, in its retrospect
Live clause, introduced a greet anomaly iato England. 1.
was one of the last ac s of the unreforwei Parliament, ato:
altbou.;h it was a " trespass" bill, it was in fact, a puie-lav,
bill. He thought it interfered wi;h the fee farm rents in
Ireland, and that it should not be allowed to go on with
until the people of Ireland had had an opportunity of con-
sidering it.
Atter tew words from Mr. BAGWELL,
Sir G. GREY suggested that the bill should be consi-
dered pro forma, in order that i mi:rht be re• printed.
Colonel DUNNE supported the bill, because it appeared
to him that the opposers of it knew ii..thing of the law tn.
the matter.

Mr M'CANN said the bill was introduced to Parliament
about five months ago, but the alterations proposed entirely
altered the inNntions of the bill.
The houtte then. div;ded, when there appeared—
For the motion
Against it ..
Maj,tiity against the motion —4l

Sir C. O'LOUGHLIN, in the ab,ence of the hon. mem-
ber for Youghal, m Aed the amendment which stood in hia
name to the first clause.
A contused discussion ensued upon the amendment pro-
posed, and certain additions that were to be made to it after
it had passed, when _ _

. .
Mr ROEBUCK said he put it to the house whether they
were in a position to legislate on this matter. He thougut
it would be well to have the whole bill reprinted as it was
proposed to stand, and then it would be possible to under-
stand what was intended. In its present confused state it
was impossible to understand anything. (Hear.) Even
the clause which several considered perfect woe wrong-
Mr 0. GORE--No, no.
Mr ROEBUCK—Why, the hon. member is going to
make another amendment to the clause after the Pre'ent'
one is agreed to, so if it was not wrong there would be no
need to do so. (Rear, hear.) He hoped the pro Posers. et
the bill would not continue to thrust it on the consideratou
of the hour:e in its present incomplete state merely fur
tLF
purpose of dragging it through committee.
Sir G. GREY sa'd he had wade the same suggestion an
hour ago.
Mr ROEBUCK said that,
in order to put au end to the
confusion, he would /curio tl3 CL-irmalla lJport pro-
gress.
The house then divided, when there arpeared—

The discussion upon the ameadthente to clause I was
then resumed.
BAGWET.J., urp7i the hon, member to accede to
o Bugger,,sion of ttii .;evi.rarnent, viz., to pries r.-,e bill
,trough c-AntaitLe o form; in order that the bill might
terei it th:h a ccursa tare n.t adult z,'d, he amid

avail himself of every form of tho 'house, to oppose the pro-
gress of the bill.

After some discussion, the amenitient of the hon. mem-
ber for Youghal was withdrawn, and the first clause was
cgreed to.
Clause 2 was struck out.
On clause 3,
Mr BAGWELL said he was afraid this clause went
further than even the English law.
Mr M‘2,IAIION said he could never consent to make
killing a wild duck in Ireland an cameo against the
guno law, uhiist it was not so considered in England.
Col. SYKES said the attempt to make tins act worse
than the English one was monstrous.

On the motion of Sir C. O'LOGHLTN, the wcrd"rcb-
~its''
was omits, d from the clause.

Mr
mcmAlloN 01,j,0.cd to the addition of the word
"woodcock" at the end of the clause. He denied that
woodcocks could be properly considered as game; it was a
to4Tafery bird, and could not properly be considered the
I,..e_.K.rty of ray one. Le moved that the word woodcock
on omitted.

SYK ES said it was rid;culous to say that wild
ducks, widgeons, and teal were ;awe. They were for six
month cut of tloo twelve the property of the Esquintaux,
and he would like to know how woods' cks and uucks,
c)u ld be considered a property, and subject to protection.
''he house then divided on Alr M'Mahon'a motion,
when th-re appeered—

For the motion
Against. it
Msjority
It was then moved that the words wild duck, widgeon,
ani teal be added to the clause.

Mr M MAHON obj-cted to the proposal.
Mr VATKIN said it appeased to him to be absurd to
endeavour to maks that property on land which, as long as
it remained at sea, was not.
Mr M'CANN said the landlordsnat only claimed the sea
shore as their property, but they actuglly Prosecuted people
for walking on it. He knew an instance where men had
been Ectually charged a rent for fishing on it.

The comultee then divided, when there appeared—
Ayes
IN'ues

Majority
The words were then added, and the clause as amended
was ordered to stand part of the bill.
Clause 4 was agreed tc.

A new clause to define the terms " legal occupier" and
"trespasser" was then moved and agreed to; but on the
question that it be added to the bill the committee divided,
when there appeared—

Ayes
.. 27
Majority ..
The clause was added to the bill, which then passed
.h.rough committee.

PUNISHMENT OF RAPE BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Sir C. O'LOGHLIN moved that the house go into corn•
mittee that day three months.
lklr ROEBUCK seconded the motion. He thought that
when a matter of great importance in connection with the
taw of England was under discussion, the Secretary of the
Home De,partment end the Attorney-General ought to have
been present ; and he also objected that a bill of the descrip-
tion then under the notice of the house should have been
brought forward without the co-operation of the Govern-
ment. Why, the bill was only advocated by those who
were palpably ignorant of the princ,ples on which the law of
punishment was founded. The present measure, they
were told, had come down from the House of Lords .
Why, he was ashamed of the House of Lords—(leug,h, et)—
the sages of the law I—(laughter)—that they should puss
such a law as the present, which inflicted the punishment

at ta.igging. He readily assented to the esz.,ertion that it
was impossible to punish too severely those guilty of the
ufrence, but at the same time he must say he objected to
the present bill advocated as it was by the advanced lights
of the:age, as they were called. (Hear and laughter.) He
for one objected to these small attempts to brutalize the
people of England.
Mr ADD ERLEY defended the bill.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
previous to the right hon. gentleman the secretary of State
;or the Home Department leaving the house, which he was
compelled to do by urgent bus ness, he had had a consul-
,ation with him on the subject of the bill, and he found
his opinions were in entire accordance with those of the
right hon. gentleman. Ni) cause had been shown for the
proposed alteration of the law, and therefJre he should vote
tgainst the progress of the bill.
Mr HUNT suggested that the bill should be limited
entirely to cases of a combination of persons to commit the
offence. If he would agree to that proposal ho should have
cis vote, if not ha must give it with the opposers of the

Ineasure.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he was quite ready to con-
sent to the proposal of the hon. gentleman who had
just resumed his seat, but contended for the principle of
ipproximating punishment to the enormity of the offence.
Ra stated that he intended to introduce a clause extending
he penalties of the bill to assaults committed on children
under 12 years of sage.
Mr AY.II,TON di: approved of the bill altogether.
After a sh►art discussion, in which Mr Packe, Sir J.
rrelawny, and Mr S 13 oth took part.
The h use divided, whcn there appeared—

THEcK RSA a CASE OF SUICIDE Al CHIS-
WI STATlOX.—Yesterday Mr. James
Bird, the coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest at Chis-
wick, on the body of a
than, "name unknown," who killed
ITlfe w i :r lv
himself, as already reported, last Saturday afternoon, by de-
libel-064Y Pl'iciag his head on the metals of the London and
South Western Railway, end allowirg the engine and car-
ridges of a train to pass over his neck, seveiing the head
almost from the body. The evidence showed that the act
Was most deliberately done, and that no blame attached to
the railway employes. The jary gave a verdict of " Tem-
porary Insanity." Tha articles found up' n the body of the
deceased were a paper containing a powder (supposed to he
poison), a bottle, and the end of a letter. On this paper the
words " Believe me, dear sir, yours truly Wilfred S.
Anderson, Bank of England," were written on one side,
while on the other were two verses written in German. A
ranslai ion of the latter was read by the coroner, and proved
to be aro piece of poetry on the immortality of the total
cf man.

"The FreDeh Ambr.s.tador at Constzn.tineplz.,"
says the 2.7cni?eur du Scir," some time sinceohl:P.ined from
the Ottonian-Porto an order for the definitive payment in
cash of the indemnities due to French au': jests in. Syr:a.
That settlement of accounts amounted to a tnillien of
piastres. The French Consul at Be:yrout in consequence
rcr:ivt.d a fit inst(ihant of 49004.-) t, hft,
uv the Tut iiish tievernor of the prcivin:.t. The Porte has
now sent to the latter by telegraph a:_ order to imrnoliltely
pay the rt‘inaling CO"))0:,"7:`, flastra. '
