IMPERIAL. PARLIAMENT

amendment, to strike out all that part of the motion
which referred to the report of the committee against
Mr. Stonor, in order that the proposed inquiry might
embrace the entire question of Mr. Stonor's conduct.
After a protracted discussion, in which Mr. S. Wort-
ley, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Vernon, Mr. Lucas, and Mr.
F. Peel took part,
Mr. FITZGERALD withdrew his amendment.

Mr. MOORE replied, and limited his charge to those
who had the ear of the Duke of Newcastle, and who,
while recommending Mr. Stonor's appointment, were
aware of his antecedents,

Mr. DRUMMOND sarcastically remarked upon the
contradiction between Mr. Moore's first and second
speech.
After nearly four hours' discussion, the house divided,
and the numbers were—

For the committee
Against it

Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL then explained that he had,
from ignorance of the arrangements of the house, voted
against, instead of for, the committee, and he added some
severe remarks upon the systematic rnnning down of
public men on the part of certain Irish members, and
the miserable shifting by which they sought to get rid of
the responsibility of their conduct.
The motion for the appointment of the committee was
then agreed to.

SPORTING INTEL r, IGENCE.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING.

EPSOM, Thursday Night.—The inauguration of the
racing season at Epsom took place to-day under peculi-
arly auspicious circumstances. A glorious day welcomed
the host of sporting visitors who poured forth to Epsom
Downs by road and railway—tempted no less by the
exceeding fineness of the weather than by the abundant
programme of sport which the spirited promoters of the
meeting, and their indefativtble clerk of the course, were
enabled. to present to their friends and patrons.
Large fields were brought out for both the City and
Suburban Handicap and the Metropolitan Stakes. Over
both Virago triumphed ; an achievement almost un-
paralleled for its importance. After winning the first,
she immediately became the leading favourite for the
second, altlmugli early in the morning her chance for the
Metropolitan was estimated at 20 and 15 to 1 against
her ! Her running for both was set down as extremely
doubtful.
Of the some-time favourites, Royalist and Jonathan
Martin, only the latter maintained his position in the
market with seeming steadiness —the former proved
himself to be quite unworthy of the support he had
received.
So great was the pressure of business, and so large
the fields that it was impossible to be punctual to the
time at which the races were set. Mr. Manning, the
clerk of the scales ; Mr. Hibburd, the starter ; and Mr.
Clark, the judge fulfilled their duties with their usual
ability.
The events were decided as follows :-
EPSOM TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs. each, with 50 added ;
three-yr-olds, Est 121 h ; four, Bst 71h ; five, 9st ; six

post ;. the others were scattered.
