SPORTING NOTES.

The only alteration that has taken place in the market
for the City and Suburban Handicap since my notes of yes-
terday is the introduction of Lord Zetland into the betting,
and the increased support awarded to Veterinarian. The field
will not be so large as last year. The following will likely
take part in the race :—Gordian Knot, 3 yrs, sst 101b—Ve-
terinarian, 3 yrs, sst 71b--Jarnicoton, 4 yrs, Est 131b—Brin-
disi, 3 yrs, sst 131b—Flying Fish, 4 yrs, 7st 51b—Voluptas,
4 yrs, Gst 51b—Lord Burleigh, 5 yrs, Bst 121b—Marigold,
4 yre, 7st 101 b- Merry Hart, 4 yrs, 7st Gib—
Stookin2;er, 5 yrs, 7st 2111--Tom Fool, 4 yrs, 7st 121b—
King of Utopia, 4 yrs, 7st 91b—Juliet, aged, 7st 41b—Sum-
merside, 4 yrs, Tat 21b—Avondale, 4 yrs, 7st—Columbia, 4
yrs, Gst 716—Lord Zetland, 3 yrs, Gst 31b—Effie (the PhQmy
filly), 3 yrs, sst 121b—Sir Roger, 3 yrs, sst 131b—Count
Cavour, 4 yrs, Gst 41b—Mail Train, 3 yrs, sst 1 lib—St.
Alex s, 5 yrs, Sat 21b—Saccharometer, 4 yrs, Sat 71b—
Weatherspy, 4 yrs, bat 31b. Gordian Knot and Veterinarian
are very steady in the market, and no doubt will remain so
up to the start. Both of them have won their trials, and it
will take a clipper to dispose of either. As public form is
always the best guide, I must give the preference to Mr.
Jackson's horse. Jarnicoton does not seem so steady in
the market. He certainly has the best of the weights of
almost every other horse ; and remembering how close he
ran Lord Clifden ever the same course last year he ought
not to be despised. Brindisi has been backed for large
sums both to win and a place. Lord Zetland Ido not think
can give the weight he is called upon to do to such horses as
Veterinarian and Gordian Knot,but nevertheless he is bound
to be near the winner. So much doubt surrounds what
will represent the Woodyeates stable, that it is impossible
to arrive at a stvisfactory conclusion about either Voluptas,
Joco, or Aunt Judy, but I think the former most worthy
of support. Merry Hart will likely be the stable
representative, instead of Marigold; but the latter is cer-
tainly the best at the weights. Surimereide, I anticipate,
I will be reserved for the Newmarket Handicap. Tom Fool
I referred to yesterday. When the numbers go up, the
judge will place them in nearly the following order :

VETERINARIAN
BRINDISI
GORDIAN KNOT..
LORD ZETLAND

The Metropolitan Handicap I shall refer to at length to-
morrow; but my present impression is that Ring Charming
will not be far away from the winner. Welcome will re-
main in his stable,

A FRESH MAN.

and Empress arrived early in an open carriage, attended by
Colonel Reille, with whom his Majesty afterwards walked
wasie moreinlpsaerlteeccit
about the enclosure. Prince Murat and General Fleury
also joined the imperial party in the Emperor's pavilion.
The Prix de la Ferrae, which wt.s the first event on the card,
was carried off, as was expected, by one of MM, Forcinal's
celetrated half-brads, as much as 4 to 1 being laid in their
favour, and 2 to 1 on their coming in first and second.
Those two horses, with their stable companion, Witch.
have, however, been purchased within the last row days
by Viscount Aguado, in whose name and colours they ran
yesterday. The winner was Young Mastrillo, who thus
repeated his victory of Monday last. The great event which
followed brought out a field of ten, including nearly
every steeplechase celebrity in France, with several horses
of merit from England. The latter appeared to be slightly
avoured by the handicapper, they being all among the light
weights. Auricula, which won the two great events at the
same meeting and over the same course in autumn last, was
favourite, 3to 2 being with difficulty obtained. The heavy
weight which he carried as a penalty for his previous suc-
cesses, and the pace at which the race was run, however,
told on him, and he was beaten at the last mile by an Eng-
lish horse—Pineapple—to which ho gave 201bs, The winner
had not run before in France, and his being unknown may
perhaps account for the advantageous place which he occu-
pied in the handicapping, and the long odds laid against
him. He was the winner of the great steeplechase handicap
at Lincoln, in spring last, and afterwards ran second to
Emblem at Cheltenham. The present race was ono of the
best contented steeplechases ever witnessed ; a good portion
of the horses ran together well to the finish, and at the win-
ning post a couple of lengths only separated the leading four,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Day.

The SPEAKER Cook the chair at a quarter past 12 o'clock.

NEW MEMBER.

Colonel Strong took the oaths and his seat for the county
of Armagh, in the room of Mr. Maxwell Close.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Caledonian Railway (Bredisholm and Tennochside
Branch), and North Eastern Railway (Micklefield Branch)
bills were read a third time and passed.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.

Mr. FOSTER moved that the order for the second read-
ing of the Metropolitan Districts Railway (No. 2) be read
and discharged; that the bill be referred to the examiners
of petitioners for private bills, and that the examiners have
leave to sit and proceed forthwith.
The motion was agreed to.

COPYItIGHT BILL.
Oa the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. BLACK said ho begged leave to withdraw the bill
in order that he might substitute another better calculated
to effect the object he had in view.
The bill was then by leave withdrawn, and

The Hox. MEMBER then brought in a bill to consolidate
and amend the laws relating to copyright, which was lead
a first time.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF SONDERBURG.

Mr. DILL WYN gave notice that to-morrow he would
ask her Majesty's Government whether they had received
any reliable information as to the bombardment of Sonder-
burg by the Prussians, without previous intimation to the
inhabitants, and whether the Government had by repre-
sentation to the Prussian Government urged upon them
the necessity of carrying on war in accordance with the
usages of civilised nations.

CHAIN CABLES AND ANCHORS (RE-COM-

MITTEE, BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
On clause 1,

Mr. HUMBERSTONE moved that the words " per-
son or persons" be left out of the clause.
The object of the amendment was to confine the opera-
tions of the bill to corporations and public bodies.
Mr. M. GIBSON said he should vote for the retention
of the words. He thought it would be unwise to exclude
licensed or private persons from testing materials under this
bill, as there would be an officer appointed by the Board of
Trade to inspect the machinery, in order to ascertain that
anchors and chains were subjected to the required tests.

After a short discussion, in which Mr. Laird, Mr. Henley,
and Mr. Bentinck took part, the amendment was negatived
and the clause was ordered to stand part of the bill.
On clause 2, an amendment was moved to strike out the
word " resident."

Mr. AYRTON asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether, as the Government intended to appoint a
person to act as inspector of testing machinery, they would
become responsible for the damage done in the event of the
testor passing defective materials ?
Mr. M. GIBSON said the bill was not a Government
measure, and the only desire he had was to make it as
efficient as possible. To guard against the event pointed
out by the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, a clause
had been introduced into the bill retaining all the respon-
sibilities that now attached to manufacturers of chains
and anchors.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL remarked that no re-
sponsibility attached to the Government under the clause.
Clause 10 expressly stated that all the responsibilities at
present in force against manufacturers was to remain in
force as if the present bill had not been passed.
Mr. LAIRD supported the amendment, when,

Atter a short discussion, it was agreed to.
Mr. HUMBERSTONE moved an amendment in clause
8 to the effect that the operations of the bill be confined to
seagoing and coasting vessels.
Mr. M. GIBSON approved of the amendment, which,
after a short discussion, was agreed to.
