SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, TUESDAY:
For the Northumberland Plate, Polynesia finished the
favourite, advancing from 20 to 1 to 6 to. 1, which was
taken rather freely. Bto 1 would have been taken about
Caller Ou; and, although no money was put on Brighton,
the highest offer against him was 9 to 1. Clarior and
Marigold appeared to be friendless, and Doefoot ett one
time was not very steady, as 100 to 6 was laid, but at the
close 100 to 7 was taken. For the St. Leger, all the
money that could be obtained at 9 to 2 was taken about
The Ranger. 100 to 6 was taken about King of the Vale,
but the layers against Baron Rothschild's colt were much.

FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. . .
The house then went into committee on- the bill,
The consideration of clause 4 was resumed.

Mr. BRUCE explained that the- Government had lis-
tened with great attention to suggestions from all parties
interested in those fisheries, and halelieved that whilst the
best parts of the Act of 1342 were conserved by this bill,
it would likewise load to the proper distribution of salmon,
which all unbiassed and disinterested persons desired. The
Government considered that the clause as amended would
work well.

Sir N. SOMERVILLE said he was a supporter, though
reluctantly, of the compromise which had resulted in this
bill, and it was rather too bad for its supporters to feel it
their duty to oppose such alterations in the clause on the
part of the Government, which would legalise stake and
bag nets, and thus destroy all salmon that ascended the
rivers. Had the bill of the hon. member for Wexford (Mr.
M'Mahon) not been interfered with by the Government,
he believed it would have received the assent of the house.
Mr. BRUCE denied that the clause as amended would
legalise these nets.

After much discussion, the committee divided on the
clause as proposed to be amended, the Government having
proposed the omission of the words "or any other waters,"
when there appeared—
For the amendment 33
Against

Several verbal amendments were then agreed to.
Mr. REDMOND proposed the insertion of the words
" or estuaries" after the word "rivers."

After some discussion, the house divided, when there
appeared—

For the amendment
Ayes
Majority
Mr. BUTT proposed the addition of words to the effect
that in cases where persons owned the whole of the rivers
and the right of fishing therein, they should have power to
maintain or erect bag nets.
Mr. O'HAGAN did not approve of the amendment in its
present form ; but the Government would consider the sub-
ject.

After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn,
the Government having undertaken to frame a clause on
the subject.

The discussion of the subject occupied the remainder of
the sitting.

The house resumed at six o'clock.
