ADJOURNMENT OF THE CONVENTION.

Dr. TAYLOR moved the adjournment of the public sit-
tings of the Convention till Friday next. There were so
many important Committees now sitting, whose duty it
would be to report upon questions of interest, that they
could not attend to these matters unless more time was
afforded them for that purpose.
Mr. O'CONNOR seconded the motion. He thought it
would put an cud to many of the squabbles and discussions
which had taken place in the Convention, and it would
greatly facilitate business, instead of retarding it.
Mr. SAmss TAYLOR said it would be of importance to
decide what was to be done with regard to the balance of
national rent in the hands of the Convention.

Mr. PITKEITHLEY suggested the propriety of adjourn.
ing till eight o'clock at night, by which time the Finance
Committee would be enabled to present its report.
The CHAIRMAN said perhaps the better way would be to
read over the notices of motion, and they would endeavour
to dispose of the whole of them to-day. By that means
they would be enabled to devote the whole of to-morrow to
the business of the Committeee.—( Hear, hear.)
The notices of motion were then. read over.

The flrst was one by Mr. Wolstenholme to have the
Declaration of Rights, drawn up by Mr. Schroeder, circu-
lated and signed by the working classes.
There was no seconder, and the motion fell to the
ground,

STANDING COMMITTEE.

Mr. JACKSON then, pursuant to notice, moved the ap-
pointment of a Committee or Council to remain in London
after the dissolution of the Convention.

The CHAIRMAN did not think be would be justified in
putting such a resolution.
Dr. TAYLOR—May I ask why?
The CHAIRMAN—Because the Convention has passed a
resolution to dissolve on the 14th. Its power then ceases,
and you now bring forward a motion, the object of which
is to perpetuate its existence. Ido not think we can en-
ortain any such motion.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. O'CoNtion was formerly in favour of a Council, but
tempora mutantur.—(A laugh.) He should certainly ob•
ject to the motion.

After some further discussion the CHAIRMAN inquired if
any one seconded the motion ; but there being no seconder,
the motion fell to the ground.

GRANT TO THE SECRETARY.

Mr. CARPENTER said it had been usual to make a grant
of money to their Secretary, and he now moved that the
question of a sum of money as a remuneration to the Se-
cretary, Mr. Smart, be referred to the Finance Committee.
—Agreed to.

The Conventinn then adjounied till to-morrow morning
at eleven o'clock.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALCS-YESTERDAY.
ST. LEGER-TUESDAY.

Since our last report of the betting on this race, Scott's fa-
vourite, Charles the Twelfth, has continued to advance in
favour; 2 to 1 was taken in the early part of the afternoon, and
towards the close 200 to 110 in good quarters. The quota-
tions a,2,st Bloomsbury were also subjected to a material change
—3 to 1 was offered currently at the commencement of busi-
ness, and 11 to 4 laid agst him with Hetman Platoff thrown in.
His friends, however, rallied as the afternoon advanced, and re-
duced the " price current" to sto 2. Euclid had several
friends at 12 to 1, and Bolus and Hyllus at 30 to I. The
Commodore, reported to be lame, was nominally at 30 to I ;
his actual price, we should imagine, is much greater : 40 to I
was laid three or four times agst Hetman Platoff, and offered
up to the close. The Corsair, Sleight-of-Hand, The Lord
Mayor, and the Dey of Algiers were friendless. Closing prices :
