Warrior as they entered the Abingdon Mile bottom. Half-

short distance Tomato on the right took a slight lead, fol-
lowed wide on her left by Verdant ; two lengths in the
rear of the pair were Fantail, Tusculanum, and Target,
Antoinette lying off. With little or no alteration they ran
thus to the bushes, when the leaders drew away and came
into the cords together, but shortly after Fantail gave way
and was headed by Tusculanum ; the latter, however, was
never enabled to reach the leaders, who finished a close
race home, Tomatorunning the longest,winuing by a neck;

agst White Duck.

With a slight delay at the post a most satisfactory start
was effected, when Kate Hampton on the upper ground got
away with a slight lead of Siberia, the pair being attended
on the left by Gardevisure, La Fortune, Nukuheva, White
Duck, and Miss Hobbie, and on the extreme right by Regi-
nella, Contract, Peeress, and Biondina. They came on in
these positions to the first half of the Abingdon Mile end-
ing post, where Siberia headed Kate Hampton and came on
in advance, having Gardevisure wide on her left, with Kate
Hampton, La Fortune, and White Duck lying up, but as
they reached the cords Mr. Sutton's filly, who appeared
full of running, suddenly shot up, followed in a few strides
further, by Kate Hampton. These retirements left La
Fortune in attendance upon the Danebury favourite, but
half-way in the cords Ashman brought up White Duck,
and heading the French filly he challenged Siberia a dozen
strides from the chair, but failed to get up, and was beaten
very easily by a length and a half, White Duck defeating La
Fortune by a head only for second ; Gardevisure finished a
bad fourth ; Miss Hobbie fifth, Nukuheva sixth, and Kato
Hampton next. Then came at wide intervals Reginella,
Peeress, Contract, and Bionclina in the order we have given
them.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—Tits EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
tt five o'clock.

IRISH OFFICERS REMUNERATION BILL.

Lord ;DONOUGIIMORE presented a petition from certain
persons residing in Clonmel against this bill.
ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE IRISH
CONSTABULARY.
The Earl of LEITRIM presented a petition from the in-
habitants of Galway, complaining of the conduct of the
Irish police force in that neighbourhood.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills were read a second time :—Tho
Finchley Road Estate, London and Brighton and South
Coast Railway (St. Leonards and Deviations), Coventry
Central Station and Southern Junction Railway, Little-
borough Gas, Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway, Sunderland
Docks Corporation, Bristol Docks, Redhill Gas, Maryport
and Carlisle Railway.
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
—The Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway (Deviation, &c.),
Sornersall Gas, Leicester Lunatic Asylum and Improve-
ment, and Liverpool Improvement (Amendments).

THE EDMUNDS COMMITTEE REPORT.
The Earl of DERBY called the attention of the house to
a mistake which had appeared in the report, which had
been laid on their lordship's table last Tuesday. In the
report the Clerk had inserted two amendments which had
been consolidated into one and carried as a joint para-
graph in the report. It was a mere matter of
form, but he trusted that the irregularity would
be rectified before the report in its complete state
be laid before the house, considering the interest that
was attached to the proceedings of this committee.
As the reports stand at present it would appear that
a minority on the committee objected to the amend-
ment acquitting the noble and learned lord on the
woolsack of improper motives. The minority thought that
the Lord Chancellor had been guilty of an error of judg-
ment, but both the majority and minority were agreed that
the noble lord should be free from all charge of improper
motives. He repeated his hope that the matter would be
set right before the report was again laid before the house.
Earl GRANVILLE said that he felt grateful to the
noble Earl for having brought this. matter before their
lordships. He had observed the mistake referred to,
but it was only that morning. The mistake was
one of those which naturally arise on the part of
the clerk, but from the tenor of the document it
was evident that the committee intended to relieve the
Lord Chancellor from any imputation of improper conduct
in reference to this matter. The error alluded to would be
corrected in the full report that would be laid before their
lordships on Monday next.

CANADA.
The Earl of AIRLIE asked whether negotiations were
still pending between her Majesty's Government and the
Government of Canada on the subject of the defence of
that colony ; and if so, whether, after these negotiations
were concluded, the papers relating to them would be
laid before Parliament. He alluded to articles which had
appeared in the American press in reference to the subject
of an invasion of Canada. They were aware that a strong
party existed in America who entertained very hostile
feelings to this country, and were in favour of an attempt
to wrest Canada from this country.
(LEFT SITTING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Imperial Gas ; Ipswich and Felixstow Railway ; North
British Railway (Lasswade, &c. Branches) ; and South-
wark Bridge Transfer.

PUBLIC-HOUSE CLOSING ACT (1864) AMEND-

MENT BILL

Mr. BUTLER moved an address for copy of memorial
addressed to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, by licensed victuallers, on the subject of the Public
House Closing Act (1864) Amendment Bill.
The motion was agreed to.
THE NATIONAL GALLERY.
Lord J. MANNERS asked the First Commissioner of
Works whether it was his intention to submit an estimate
for enlarging and improving the National Gallery in Tra-
falgar-square this session, and if so, when?
Mr. COWPER said it was his intention to submit an
estimate for enlarging the National Gallery in the rear of
the south side. He would take care that the estimates
were laid on the table in time for the fullest consideration
before the proposal was made to the house.
COLONIAL ADMINISTRATION.
Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether it was his intention to bring in a bill during the
present session for the transfer of Singapore, Malacca, and
Penang, from the Indian to the colonial administration ?
a Sir C. WOOD said, as far as the Indian Government
were concerned, they were quite ready to meet the wishes
of the people of Singapore. He, however, had not yet re-
ceived the decision of the Colonial-office in the matter.
WORKHOUSES.
Mr. A. MILLS asked the President of the Poor-law
Board whether it was the intention of the Government
to adopt the suggestions contained in the evidence
given before the select committee on poor reboil-e-
-specting the employment of trained and competent
nurses in workhouses ; whether it was intended to carry
out the recommendation embodied in the report, hat
quinine and other expensive medicines should be provided
when required by the guardians ; and whether the articles
of the consolidated order now in force respecting the volun-
tary visitation of the sick poor presented any practical
obstacle to thosa who desired to visit the inmates of the
union workhouses.
1 Mr. VILLIERS said the evidence reforred to was that

given by Miss Twining, but an inquiry had been instituted
and he found the matter had been overstated. The poor-law
inspectors always urged on the guardians the employment
of competent persons as nurses, and he believed that
amongst the principal workhouses only eight had remained
without such assistance. In consequence of a communica-
tion from Miss Nightingale, who stated that there were
plenty of persons of the description required if the
guardians wished to employ them, a circular
had been issued asking the guardians to avail
themselves of such assistance, but he must in-
form the hon. gentleman that it was entirely in
their discretion whether they chose to do so or not.
With respect to the medicines supplied to the in-
mates of workhouses, a circular had also been
issued urging the guardians to make new
arrangements with her medical officers.- As far as visiting
was concerned, there was nothing in the rules and regula-
tions of the Poor-law Board which present,obstructions to
persons visiting workhouses. It could always have been
done, under certain conditions, with the consent of the
master of the establishment.

CUPOLA SHIPS.
Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether the ironclad ship Hercules, ordered to be laid
down in her Majesty's dockyard, Chatham, was to be fitted
with two cupolas in addition to her broadside armament ;
and, if so, whether the cupolas would be constructed ou
Capt. Cowper P. Colss's plan.
Lord C. PAGET said the- question of arming the bow
and stern of her Majesty's ship Hercules was now under
consideration. Various modes had been suggested, and
were now under the notice of the Admiralty, and the
matter would not be decided until the report of a com-
mittee of naval officers, now sitting on the subject, had
been made.

COMMANDERS AND MASTERS IN THE NAVY.

Sir L. PALK asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if
he would state what measures were to be taken by the
Lords of the Admiralty to relieve the complaints of infe-
riority of pay and rank of the Staff Commanders and
Masters of her Majesty's Navy.
Lord C. PAGET said that the position, rank, and pay
of the officers referred to were under the consideration of
the Board of Admiralty, and it is premature at the present
time to make any statement on the subject.
THE INDIAN BUDGET.

Mr. A. MILLS asked the Secretary for India whether
he could state when it was likely he would be enabled to
make his financial statement on the finances of India ?

Sir C. WOOD said he had not yet i;ceiv;Cl any of the
papers from India, and therefore he could not say when he
should be enabled to do so.
EDUCATION. -.

Mr. BRUCE having laid a minute relating to education
on the table, was about to explain the nature of the docu-
ment, when
Mr. A. SMITH rose to order. He did not think it was
competent to the hon. gentlemen to proceed without giving
notice.

The. SPEAKER said the hon. gentleman was quite in
order. He had moved that the Speaker do leave the chair
to enable him to proceed.
Sir J. PAKINGTON thought the utter absence of any
word in the votes as to the intention of the hon. gentleman
was a good reason for not proceeding at that time.
Mr. BRUCE then proceeded. He said the object of the
minute was to extend to all schools those concessions
made in March, 1864, with respect to rural schools alone.
Sir L. PALK rose to order. He wished to ask, if in
stating the objects of the minute the hon. gentleman made
observations which called for a reply, it would be compe-
tent for him to raise a debate.

The SPEAKER said this matter did open the question
for debate.

Mr. BRUCE said, as he did not wish to take such a step,
he should refrain from making the statement at that
time.

SUPPLY-THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

On the motion for the house going into committee of
supply,
Mr. GREGORY rose to call the attention of the house to
the condition of the British Museum, the National Gallery,
and the Kensington Museum. He commenced his observa-
tions by remarking that notwithstanding the annual visits
of the great connoisseurs in painting connected with the
National Gallery to the continent, this country managed
to lose the majority of the valuable paintings that were
gladly secured by other countries. The arrangements of
the National Gallery he considered altogether bad, and he
was of opinion that instead of the scattered state of the
national pictures, a fitting and proper place should be con-
structed, so as to unite the whole collection. At present the
mest valuable pictures ever put in the wrong place, and he
could not better illustrate his observations thao by remark-
ing upon the bad taste of removing the cartoons of
Raphaelle from Hampton Court Palace to Kensington,
instead of placing them in the National Gallery. The whole
thing called for a reorganisation, and he hoped such a step
would soon be taken. With respect to the British Museum,
speaking generally, the whole arrangement, in his opinion,
was a complete jumble. There was no order, arrange-
ment, or anything else. Size seemed to be the great
consideration, and thus we had the most heteogenious
collection under one roof in any country in the world.
Nothing could be more faulty than the management of the
British Museum ; no doubt there were gentlemen of high
position and standing, as trustees ; yet the business was,
in fact, left to the secretary, and however energetic
that gentleman might be, he thought it totally impossible
for him to do his work in a satisfactory manner. Govern-
ment, in his opinion, were responsible for the state
of things that existed, and he thought it would be
of the greatest public benefit if they at once set about in
earnest to provide better accommodation for the national
collection. He should postpone his observations respect-
ing the Kensington Museum till a future day.
