SALMON FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL.

The adjourned debate, on the motion for going into com-
mittee, was resumed by _

Mr. CONOLLY, who opposed the bill, on the ground
that it would entirely unsettle the value of property which
had been purchased in the Encumbered Estates Court, and
otherwise all certain privileges secured to the owners by
the act of 1842. He admitted that there were evils
in the present system which he should be happy
to see remedied, but the measure of the honour-
able member for Wexford (Mr. M'Mahon) was of far too
sweeping a nature, and would utterly destroy property of
the annual value of £lOO,OOO. The fisheries in all the rivers
in Ireland were in a good and progressive state, and the
interference with them proposed by this bill would be
wanton and unjust. The hon. gentleman submitted
statistics in support of his assertion. Many important rights
held without dispute from time immemorial would be now,
for the first time, abrogated if the bill was passed into a
law; indeed, it could not be passed without the insertion
of a clause to afford compensation to those whose property
in the fisheries would be damaged. It was a curious cir-
cumstance that cot and rod fishers had increased, and they
were the parties who would be most benefited by the bill.
The hon. and learned gentleman had evinced great assi-
duity in bringing the subject forward, and as he could not
possibly desire to commit injustice, he ventured to suggest
that he should consent to the amendment, and thus have
the bill referred to a select committee, so that the rights of
the landowners and others might be properly investigated
and determined.

Col. WHITE suggested that it would be well to refer
the subject to ten Irish members, who, he doubted not,
would be able to frame a bill which, probably, the Govern-
ment would not be indisposed to adopt. (Hear, hear.) In
order to afford the hon. and learned gentleman an oppor-
tunity of adopting his suggestion he begged to move the
adjournment of the debate (Divide, divide.)
Mr. LONGFIELD supported the bill on the ground that
stone weirs and stake and bag nets, so many of which were
permitted by the Act of 1842, were a violation of the rights
of the publio, and, besides, materially tended to destroy the
propagation of fish. The legislation of 1842 was hurried,
and the erroneous course then taken should be at once cor-
rected by the passing of the present measure.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 24.
INCOME TAX.

Motion made and question put, "That, in the opinion
of this house, the incidence of an income tax touching
the products of invested property should fall upon net
income, and that the net amounts of industrial earnings
should, previous to assessment, be subject to such an
abatement as may equitably adjust the burthen thrown
upon intelligence and skill as compared with property.'
The houso divided—Ayes, 70 ; Noes, 118.

FUNERAL OF SIR JAMES OUTRAN,

THIS DAY.

The funeral of Sir James Oniram,Bart., G.C.8., K. 5.1.,
took place to-day, at Westminster Abbey. Although
the funeral was a private one the assemblage of the public
outside the Old Abbey was very great.
Withal the venerable building the attendance was also
large, and everyone present was attired in deep mourning,
a circumstance which was not the case on former occasions,
and which at the time led to much remark.

The funeral procession left the residence of the deceased,
Queen's Gate-gardens, Kensington, and arrived at the
west cloister door of the Abbey a few minutes after one,
where it was met by the Dean of Westminster, Canon
Jennings, Canon Nepean, Precentor Haden, the Rev. Flood
Jones, and a great number of other gentlemen connected
with the abbey.
The pall was borne by the officers and sergeants of
the 78th Highlanders, and amongst the mourners
were Sir Francis Outram (chief), Dr. Ogilvie,
J. B. Outram, Esq., A, N. Smith-Sligo, Esq.,
W. Morris, and following them the personal friends
of the deceased, amongst whom were the Duke of Argyle,
Earl Dalhousie, Lord Clyde, Lord Salisbury, Lord Harris,
Lord Keane, Lord Lyveden, Lord Chelmsford, Sir J. Weir
Hogg, Su H. Willoughby, Crawford, M.P. for the City,
Dr. Russell, H. J. Gordon, Esq., H, Johnston, Esq
Williamson Ramsay, Esq., Greenhill, Esq., Ricketts,
Esq., Col. Lockhart, Sir E. Lugard, Sir John Laird, Sir J.
Lawrence, Col. Sykes, Mallet, Esq., W, Davidson, Esq.,
Sir H. Havelock, Gen. Hancock, R. D. Mangles, Esq.,
Gen. Malcolm, Col. Holland, Sir H. Rawlinson, Col.
Whitelock, Col. Grant, Gen. Pollock, Sir Charles Wood,
&c., 49cc.

While' Crofts, and the life," and " I
conveyed to the choir,
know that my Redemer liveth," was solemnly chaunted
"lambadtyhe was
resur breel
Crs, the
by the choristers, and on reaching that place the 90th
Psalm was sung.

The burial service was then perforated, and finally the
coffin was lowered into the grave, which was in the nave,
within a few feet of that of the late George Stephenson,
and close to the new pulpit erected for the special Sunday
services.

The coffin bore the following inscription:—" Lieutenant-
General Sir James Ontram, Bart., G.C.8., K. 5.1., died
March 11, 1863, aged 60.

THE NORTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.—The nomi-
nation took place at the Shire-hall, Lancaster, yesterday.
The Marquis of Hartington was nominated by Sir James
gay Shuttleworth, and seconded by Mr. E. M. Fenwiok.
No opposition was offered, and the noble marquis was re-
sleeted.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
The scene that occurred just at the close of the Subscrip-

tion-room at Tattersall's, on Monday last, was a pretty fair
shadowing of the antics that owners and a certain " school"
would play with their own and other people's horses at
Northampton. Animals that were supposed to be firm a
few minutes before, were knocked about at all imaginable
prices, while others again, whose prestige and quality never
entitled them to a prominent position, " came"
in the market like so many flashes of light-
ning. With such very queer doings governing the
chances and qualifications of favourites or outsiders, the
vocation of the turf prophet is indeed a difficult, if not an
impossible one. Were horses allowed to run on their own
merits, and fairly submitted as, so to speak, public property
in the turf market when once their owners declared them-
selves satisfied with their treatment by the handicap-
per, the labour of the vaticinator would Fe confined
to analysis alone. But, as it is, he must, if possible,
acquaint himself with all the secret, questionable inte-
rests upon which the probable, or rather possible, success
of each animal depends. He must be prepared tosee horses
" put up" in order to be " got on" at a price, with the ugly
contingency that if his "party" do not get odds to suit
them, he will be withdrawn without scruple, or allowed
to remain in the list of quotations until he arrives at a short
price, and then run the gauntlet of "milking" and " Cap-
tain Armstrong." But these are evils which require a more
powerful pen to lay bare before the restoration of anything
like a healthy tone to the turf can be hoped for. The running
at Northampton yesterday will appear at such length in your
columns to-day, that any reference to the meeting would be
worse than superfluous. The Grand Military Steeplechase
Meeting at Market Harboro will be held to-morrow, and
will keep together all the ring from Northampton and en
route to Croxton Park, which gathering takes place on
Friday. The Great Corinthian Cup ought to fall to
Penarth, and the Granby Handicap (Croxton Park) ap-
pears to be between Oakapple and Conundrum. Weather-
bow will most likely win the Belvoir Stakes, Welland the
Waltham Plate, and Comet the Croxton Plate. The only
remaining event of any importance—the Cup—will be
carried off by Loiterer, whose form we have recently seen
so satisfactorily tested.

Wednesday Afternoon.

PEGASUS,

NORTHAMPTON RACES-TUESDAY.

Never was the "legitimate" racing season more bril-
liantly inaugurated than it was on Tuesday at Noi thampton,
as the weather was warm and summer-like, the company
numerous and aristocratic, and the sport most interesting,
most of the items bringing out respectable fields. It will be
seen by our return of the sport that Asteroid maintained
his character of being the best "miler" on the turf, as
he cleverly chopped down the nine opposed to him in the
Trial Stakes, and these comprised some of the most for-
midable horses in the country over the distance. The Whit-
tlehury Stakes, as usual, showed the 3-yr-olds to be more
formidable over this course than the younger horses, and
they fell to the share of Fantastic, who cleverly bowled over
Cairncastle and Livingstone, the last-named, despite his
"roaring" infirmity, having the call in the betting. The
stakes, despite the knocking about several horses received
in the market, attracted 15 runners to the post, and was re-
markable for the sorry figure cut by Knutsford, who was
backed by the Hednesford stable as if the race was over.
The pace being severe, it suited Fairwater, who made light
of her welter weight at the finish, and won so cleverly that
it is evident she has not lost a bit of her last year's form.
The remaining races call for no comment.
Trial Stakes of 10 sous each, with 50 added from the fund ;
3-yr-olds, 7st ; 4-yr •olds, Bst 91b ; 5 yr-olds, 9st 111 b ;

Ivanhoff, Change, Queen of the Vale, and General Hess.
Betting-2 to 1 agst Asteroid, 9to 4 agst Le Marechal,
and 8 to 1 agst Soapstone.
After one or two failures the lot were despatched in close
company. Le Marechal, being the first in action, came on
with a slight lead, followed by Change, Soapstone, and
Queen of the Vale, the others following, in the centre of
whom were Asteroid and Welland, the rear being brought
up by Atherstone. After running half-a-mile the Queen
of the Vale ran into the third place, but before they reached
the bend for home she dropped back, the running being
taken up by Soapstone; but as they neared the distance
Asteroid, with Atherstone on his whip hand, joined Lord
Stamford's colt, the three running a fair race home, the
ftvouritc getting his heed in front half-way up,and winning
cleverly by two lengths ; a neck between the second and
third. General Hess was fourth, Soapstone fifth, Ivanhoff
and Tolurno, side by side, were the next two ; Queen of the
Vale and Welland were the last two.

The Northamptonshire Cup stakes, by subscription of 10
sovs each, for horses of all ages ; 3-y r-olds, 6st 91b ; 4-

Betting-5 to 4 agat Aurelian, 9to 4 agat Revolver, sto
1 agst Millionaire, and 10 to 1 agst Flytrap.
Revolver cut out the work at a good pace, Flytrap going
on second, with the favourite and Millionaire lying up. On
rounding the top turn Revolver considerably increased his
lead, and, proceeding along the far side, was upwards of
half a dozen lengths in advance of his horses,Aurelian,half-
way down the hill, taking the second place, Flytrap at the
same time dropping into the extreme rear. On reaching the
distance the favourite, with Millionaire at his girthQ,on the
outside, ran up to Lord Stamford's colt, the three run-
ning nearly abreast to the enclosure, where Millionaire came
out and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths. Revolver
was a bad third, and Flytrap, beaten oft, last.
The Whittlebury Stakes of 16 sovs each, 6 ft, with 100
added ; 2-yr-olds, Est 81b ; and 3-yr-olds Bst 81b f and

8 to 1 agst Stockbroker, 10 to 1 each agst Brother to Mo-
rocco and. Cairncastle, 12 to 1 agst the Olitipe filly, and 100
to 8 agst Overcast.
Several failures were occasioned by the Olitipe filly re-
solutely refusing to join her horses, but at length Mr.
M'Georgo got them into something like order, and at once
lowered his signal, when the lot left the post in compact
order. The first to show in advance was Stockbroker, close
up with whom came Fantastic, on the upper side, the Oli-
tipe filly, Livingstone, unit to the rails, and Cairucastle ;
the others, who were headed by Brother to Morocco and
Overcast, lying in their wake to the top of the hill, where
Fantastic drew slightly in front, and came on with the
running to the distance, where Stockbroker retired, and
his place was taken by Cairncastle, who came en in waiting
upon the two leaders to the entrance to the Stand in-
closure, where the favourite was in difficulties, and was
headed by Mr. Stewart's colt, but who was unable to
reach Fantastic, who won in a canter by a length, a length
and a half separating the second and third. Sroekbr.ler
fourth, close up, Brother to Morocco fifth, Overcast sixth,
and the Olitipe filly next ; the last two were Weatherbow

Mr. Whittaker's David Ann, 5 yrs (£6O), 7st Ilb
(Forster) 4
Betting—Even on Henham Lass, 2 to 1 agst Antidote,
and 5 to 1 agst any other.

Antidote jumped off with a slight advantage, followed on
the inside by Henham Lass and Disappointment to the dis-
tance, where the three came on nearly abreast, the young
one, however, having a trifle the best of it to within half a
dozen strides of the chair, when French brought out his
mare and won a tine race by a head ; a bad third.
The winner was bought in for 125 guineas.
The Great Northamptonshire Stakes of 100 sous, added to
a handicap sweepstakes of 25 soya each, 15 ft. 65 paid 5
soya ft, the second horse to receive 25 soya out of the

agst Oldminster, Carisbrook, Fee, and Gorse, 25 to 1 each
agst Benjamin and Attaman, and 100 to 3 agst any other.
Immediately the flag was lowered Springbok, in company
with Attaman and Zeloo, rushed to the front, and came on
with a clear lead past the Stand, followed by Gorse, Fee,
Berkeley, and Oldminster; then came Benjamin and Canis-
brook, in the centre of the ruck, which was brought up by
Balham and Dunsinane. Rounding the far turn Attainan
headed the light weights and increased the pace, Springbok
going on second, the favourite third, with Grimstone and
Gorse, side by side, next, Fairwater, lying wide on the out-
side, heading the rear division. In this way they descended
the hill, and on reappearing in sight Knutaford was seen in
difficulties, and on their fairly Merin the straight he was

beaten, and shortly after dropped back, his place being taken
by Fairwater, who came up on the outside of the two light
weights, who were disposed of on reaching the distance,
leaving the old mare with a clear lead, which she retained to
the end, and won by three lengths, At tainan securing the
second money by a neck from Gorse, who headed Springbok
at the Stand. Berkeley was fourth, two lengths in their
rear; Benjamin was fifth, Springbok sixth. Then came

where Eastern Princess was beaten. Before getting to the
distance Sweet Willie joined the favourite, and, having the
best of it in a few strides, Mr. Saxon's colt came on and

favourite from Bertha, who passed Eastern Princess at the
stand. The rest were pulling up as they passed the judge,
