PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Tho following bills were read a third time and passed :
Great Eastern Railway (Additional Powers) and Great
Northern Railway (Cheshire Lines).
ALKALI WORKS REGISTRATION BILL.
The house went into Committee on this bill.

Mr. BRUCE entered into an explanation of the various
provisions of the measure. The object of the bill is to compel
the more effectual condensation of muriatic acid gas in
alkali works, which it appears from the general opinion of
practical chemists, is eliminated in immense bodies from
these works, and has proved most itjurious to human life
and destructive to vegetation of all kinds. An eminent
inspector and sub-inspectors were proposed to be appoiLted
to visit works, and manufacturers not complying with the
behests of the bill would be prosecuted at quarter sessions,
and heavy penalties imposed on p oprietors and workmen as
well. The bill, it may be recollected, originated with the
Earl of Derby, and has already received the approbation of
the House of Lords.

Mr. VIVIAN explainel the large interests identified
with the production of alkali and the various manufactures
with which it was interested, and trusted all parties would
be permitted ample means of appeal against what they
might consider unjust prosecutions.
Mr. BOUVERIE deprecated the interference with trade
proposed by the bill, and believed it would have been Letter
to have strengthened the common law, which he considered
ample for every purpose. Besides, the manufacturers had
of their own option adopted every means which science
could suggest for mitigating the evils incidental to their
pursuits. At a future stage he should propose that the
operation of the bill be limited to a certain number of years,
so that it might soon come again under the review of the
house. _ _

Lord STANLEY said the owners of land in the neigh-
bourhood of large manufacturing towns had great reason to
complain, because the vegetation was being destroyed to
a greater extent every year. The law was not, at present,
equal to the emergency.
Mr. HEADLAM intimat3d that the great body of the
manufacturers, to their credit, were not opposed to the bill,
and thus all their reasonable requirements should be as
ceded to.

Mr. HENLEY considered quarter sessions the very
worst court to decide in such cases.

Lord STANLEY said probably it would be well to sub-
stitute county courts for quarter sessions.
The various clauses were then proceeded with, and seve-
ral verbal amendments introduced.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ANNOYING THE VISITORS TO THE HANOvER-SQU aIRE
ROOMS, AND ASSAULTING A POLICE SERGRANT.—John
Scott, a rough-looking fellow, living in Church-lane, St.
Giles's, was charged as follows :
Sergeant Richard Edwards, 2 C, said that on the previous
night, about 11 o'clock, he was on duty at the Concert for
Female Musicians, in Hanover-square Rooms, where the
prisoner caused a great deal of confusion by calling cabs
from the stand and carriages before they were wanted. He
told the prisoner to desist, but he refused, and struck him a
violent blow, saying, " You take that 1"
}The manager of the Hanover-square Rooms was present,
and wished to make a statement.

Arr. Payne, the manager of the Hanover-square Rooms,
said that the conduct of the prisoner and his companions,
about a dozen in number, had become a great nuisance, the
visitors to the rooms being subject to having their pockets
picked and to hear the grossest blackguardism from them.
In consequence of their behaviour at times they had been
obliged to close one of the doors, so as to let the visitors out
at one place, that the assistance of the police might be more
concentrated, and a check somewhat put to the intDlerable
nuisance of the fellows.

Mr. Knox committed the prismer for a month.

ROBBERIES OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND REFRESH-
MENT HOUSEKEEPERS.-A shabby looking woman who
gave the name of Anne Mitchel, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Selfe, charged with the following robberies :
Mrs. Jane Rushbrook of 37, Marsham-street, beer-
housekeeper, said—Prisoner came into our house yesterday
afternoon and asked for half a pint of beer. The very
moment I went to the bar where the prisoner was standing
I missed a pint pot I had seen there just before, and asked
her for it, and she directly produced it from under her
shawl, and I mentioned my former losses.

Mr. Selfe—What were they ?
Prosecutrix—l had two pots taken yesterday, and this
woman had been into my house, another was stolen from
my house on Tuesday, and I lost one last week. When
this woman produced the pot from under her shawl I gave
tier into custody. There was a quantity of metal such as
these pots are made of found in her room and all these cans
Prosecutrix pointed to a long string of publicans' cans
which the police had placed upon the court table.
A Policeman said he was called and took the prisoner
for stealing the pot, and then went to her address, where
he found the cans produced. It was clear that one had had
pewter melted in it.
Mr. Sleigh—What is she.
Witness—A married woman, separated from her husband.
Prisoner—l did it through distress.
Mr. Selfe—What was found upon her.
Policeman—Sevenpence halfpenny.

Mr. Selfe to prisoner—Distress did not make you have
all these publicans' cans in your possession, or steal that
pot with sevenpence in your pocket.
Prisoner—l took the cans to get water in.

Mr. Selfe—l fear you had then, for another object,
You are committed to hard labour for three menths.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY BY A. WORKMAN. - Charles
M 'earthy, an Irishman, was brought before Mr. Woolych,
charged with stealing two dczen silver-plated terrets, valued
at £3 65., the property of Mr. Charles Fillingham, a saddler
and harnessmaker in the Whitechapel-road.
The prosecutor has been very unsuccessful with his work-
men. Several have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to
various periods of imprisonment for robbing him. In
February last two of Mr. Fillingham's men were committed
from this court for stealing a large quantity of valuable
property belonging to Mr. Fillingham, who is known in the
trade to be one of the best and most generous of masters.
Yesterday afternoon a girl named Frances Ann Steele, in
the service of Mr. Fillingham, saw the prisoner creep into
the warehouse at the back of the shop where he had
no right to be, and remove two parcels of terrets from a
shelf. Each parcel con! ained one dozen of terrets. The
girl informed her master of what she had seen, and he went
in search of the prisoner, who was about to leave the pre-
mises with the property in his possession. Mr. Fillingham
intercepted him, and he ran back into the warehouse, and
thence into an underground cellar. Mr. Fillingham heard
something fall and make " a clinking noise." He went
into the cellar, which the prisoner was leaving, and found
there a bundle fastened very roughly with a thong. It
contained two parcels of silver plated terrets.
In answer to Mr. Woolrych, the prosecutor said that
no goods for sale or any other new goods manufactured
in bis trade were ever deposited in his cellar. He
was certain the brown paper packages of terrets were
on a shelf in the warehouse a few minutes before the pri-
sonar entered it. The piece of white thong had been taken
from an upper floor. The prisoner had been in his employ
eleven and a-half years, and received regular wages of 225.
every week. He lent the prisoner £2 a fortnight ago be-
cause he wanted money to purchase some necessaries for a
sick child.

The prisoner set up a curious defence. A child of his
was lying dead. He wanted money to pay the expenses of
the funeral, and he took the two bundles of terrets, with the
intention of pawning them and redeeming them again as
soon as possible.
Mr. Woolrych said he could Rot believe the defence set
up. The prisoner was employed by a respectable trades-
man, in receipt of regular wages, and had committed a
serious robbery involving a gross breach of confidence. The
defence that the prisoner had some misfortune, that his
child was lying dead, and that he was labouring under
great anxiety, could not be admitted as an excuse or pallia-
tion of crime. Every man was labouring under some
anxiety, and all had to struggle in the world. He com-
mitted the prisoner for trial.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

STOCK MIDGE RACES.-THURSDAY.

These races are held on the same ground as that on which
the Bibury Club hold their meeting, consequently no com-
ments are required at our hands regarding the arrange-
ments in the stands and enclosures. The weather, if pos-
sible, was more brilliant and enjoyable than the preceding
day, but the racing could hardly be ZT.id to be so good.
The first race of the day was the Biennial Stakezi for which
Gladstone, on account of his beating King of the Va:G a.t
Ascot, was installed first favourite, but he was beaten very
easily, not being able to be even one of the first three. The
race was won cleverly by Lord Strathmore's horse Sea
King. The Stand Plate produced seven horses to compete
for it, and Confidence was made the favourite at the com-
mencement of the betting, but an enormous quantity of
money being got upon Buck ha became first favourite,
Confidence retiring to 4to 1. The race was won rather
cleverly by Confidence, Southport being second. The fa-
vourite did not obtain a very good etart. For the Stock-
bridge Cup even money was laid on King of Diamonds,
and he thoroughly justified the odds placed in him by win-
ning in a canter. The Beaufort Handicap was a match
between Balha.:a and Kingswood, resulting in the clever
victory of the former. The Selling Sweepstakes was won
by Indolence, who was put up to auction after the race,
and was bought in fur 130 guineas. Captain Little riding,
Libellous was made the favourite for the Andover Stakes,
but Mr. Thompson on Rubicon passed the winning-post
first very easily. Ten horses came to the starting-post for
the Mottisfont Stakes, the result being in favour of Dur-
ham. Full details will be found below.

Tademus made, play, followed by Gladstone, Golden Dust,
and Voluptas, Sea King and Laurel being the last two, but
after running a few strides Sea King rusted past his horses
and came on with a clear lead, Voluptas going on second,
with Tademus next, Gladstone at the same time dropping
into the mar. Descending the hill, Sea King considerably
increased his lead, but as they passed the mile post the lot
closed up, and ran in company to the bushes. Here Blondin
took the third place, and on reaching the dip Tademus was
beaten; the favourite at the same time joined the front
next the rails, the four running in a line to the enclosure,
where Gladstone was disposed of, leaving the issue with the
three, Sea King, who held his advantage to the end, win-
ning cleverly by a length; a similar distance between the
second and third, two lengths separating the third and
fourth. Tademus was fifth, and Voluptas last.

Immediately the flag was lowered Confidence jumped
away with a decided lead, followed by Southport and
Peahen on the far side, the favourite at the same moment
rearing up, nearly unhorsed his rider, and was left in the
rear. At the distance Confidence recovered his lead, and
won very easily by a length; half a length between the
second and third, Nathalie was fourth, Buck fifth, and
Demon last.

favourite jumped away with a clear lead, with Glenochty
colt going on second, Vivid third, with Cerintha lying wide
on the right to the bushes hill, when W. Day's colt dropped
back, and Vivid took his place, but without a chance of
reaching the King, who cantered home the winner by half
a dozen lengths. Father O'Leary, who passed Cerintha on
the post, Tvas a bad third, the others were pulled up, and

clear lead, and won very cleverly by a length ; Eudora,who

Durham,with a slight lead, made play for a short distance,
when he was pulled back, and Ackworth came on in ad-
vance, Vacuna lying in the centi e of the course going on
third, with Leicester, the Hersey filly, the Mary Copp colt,
and Brother Jonathan in close attendance to the turn for
the Bush•h111, where the latter bolted, and was at once out
of the race. As they came up the hill Ackworth was joined
by Vacuna, Leicester, Durham, and Mr. Orme's colt, the
lot entering the dip in close company, but shortly after Ack-
worth was observed in difficulties, and as they entered the
rails he disappeared from the front. His place in a few
strides after was taken by Durham, who, with Leicester on
his whip hand and Vacuna on the left, came on together to
the stand, where they were joined by the Mary Copp colt;
the four finishing a fine race home, Durham winning at
last rather cleverly by three parts of a length from Leicester
and Vacuna, who finished with a dead heat for second, two
lengths separating the Mary Copp colt from the pair ;
the Hersey filly was fifth close, up, Ackworth sixth, and
Glendusk next; the last two were the Vedette colt and

AQUATICS.

COOPER AND EVERSON FOR £2OO.

The match between these men came off yesterday after-
noon, the distance being the usual one, viz., from Putney to
Mortlake. Cooper won the toss, and of course chose the
Middlesex side. The preliminaries having been arranged,
the start was effected at 25 minutes past three. Cooper,
after the first few strokes, had a decided ad%antage, and
before passing Finche's had obtained a clear lead. The race
was virtually over at this point, for Cooper had it all to
himself, and he rowed in a winner easily ; in fact, he won
the match just as he pleased. The distance was rowed in
24 minutes.
Odds at starting, 5 to 2 on Cooper.

An accident took place during the rowing of the match,
which nearly terminated fatally to two gentlemen and
a lady. It appears that they had hired a small
boat to accompany the race, when, from the
usual recklessness of the steamers, the boat got
jammed in betwixt two of them. The greatest excitement
was caused on board, as it was thought that the whole
party must have met a watery grave. Happily
it was found when the steamboats were separated, that only
one of the party had been capsized into the river. The life
buoys were immediately lowered, and the unfortunate
gentleman was dragged on board little the worse for his
immersion.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
very moderate. A few parcels were taken for export by
French buyers, and the trade ruled firm at the full prices of
Monday last.
The show of samples of foreign wheat was large. Ame-
rican wheats, whieh were inquired for by French buyers,
were held at extreme rates, Other descriptions fully sup-
ported Monday's currency, and a good retail business was
transacted.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full quo-
tations.

The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was very
small, and the trade ruled firm at very full prices.
Malt commanded but little attention, at late rates.

The supply of oats was very large, and the trade ruled
heavy, at a reduction in prices of 6d per quarter.
Beans and peas, the supplies of which were small, com -
me.nded fully the prices of Monday.
Most kinds of flour were in fair request, at full cur-
