The Consolidated Fund (8,000,0001.) Bill passed through
committee.

DRAINAGE OF LANDS BILL.

Mr. K. SEYMER "moved that the Speaker leave the chair,
that the house might go into committee on this bill.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER objected to proceeding at so late at an
hour (a quarter past one o'clock).
Mr. HENLEY moved, as an amendment, that the debate
be adjourned. •
The house divided, and the numbers were—

For the adjournment of the debate y 29
Against
Majority for going into committee —4O
Mr. CFIRISTOPIIER persisted in his objection to going
into committee, and moved that the house do adjourn.
Lord P.ALHERSTON suggested tha: the house should go
into committee pro forma, so as to establish the bill as an
order, as it was obviously impossible to enter on discussion
at that hour.

Mr. HENLEY said all'they wanted was an opportunity of
discussing the bill in committee. They all wanted to make
a good bill, and it really was not fair to take a clause or two
one night, and another clauss on another night.
Mr. K. SEYMBR, wished to feel that some progress had
been made. Ho would consent to report progress immedi-
ately, and fix the bill for Monday, when he would name a day
for the discussion.
'Mr: CHRISTOPHER withdrew his amendment, and the
house went into committee, but immediately resumed.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTRSALL'S-YRsTERDAY:
Bath accounts were balanced, an : some progress was
made in comparing bets on the Derby.
Fresh speculations were productive of some important
changes, and in two or three instances, especially with
regari to Autocrat and King Tom, the movements were
strange and inconsistent.
Whilst one party w, s, taking "on the chances" 12 to
1 about King Torn, another 30 to 1 about Autocrat, and
another 12 to 1 about the two, 1000 even was betted on
Hospodar against the two, and 500 even on the Trapper
against the two. Then, after a brief interval, and a
little finessing, 6000 to 200 was laid against Autocrat,
and almost in the next moment 1000 to 50 taken ; and
yet the pencil was scarcely replaced in the pocket when
30 to 1 was again offered in fifties or hundreds. King
Toni had certainly the more trustworthy look of the two,
but it is for Wednesday next to dispel the mystery in
which he and Autocrat are at present involved. Der-
vish returned to 7 to 2, and was apparently firm at the
close. Andover and Hermit a ere backed for a good
deal of money, the former at 7 to 1, 13 to 2, and 6 to 1 ;
the latter at 10 to 1. Hospodar was in very strong de-
mand ; 7000 to 420 in one bet, three other bets of 1000
to 60 each, 1400 to 100, 12 to 1 to 2001., and several
minor bets were booked about him. Neville was also
looking up ; 25 to 1 was taken to 1751. about the Trap-
per. 5000 to 125 in one bet about Marsyas. 1000 to
20, 1000 to 25, and 1000 to 30 about Alembic. 1000 to
20, and 1000 to 25 about Bracken, and 10,000 to 200 in
one bet about Middlesex.

The quotations at the close were as follows

[ADVERTISEMENT.I-14OLLOWAY'S PILLS FOR TEE
CURE OF LIVER COMPLAINTS, INDIGESTION, AND DISOR
DEITED STOMACH,—.Mr. Richard Haynes, of her Majesty's
Dockyard at Plymouth, for several years had not had
the:enjoyment of a day's good health, constantly suffering
from indigestion and liver complaint. He had the best
medical advice from both army and navy surgeons, but
the disease yielded not to their treatment, and various
other remedies were tried with a like result. At last he
began to use Holloway's pills, and this fine medicine h2.s
so strengthened the tone of his stomach and invigorated
his constitution, that lie is mast perfectly cured, and en-
joys the best of health.—Sold by , all druggists, and at

London,

a time like the present should have certainly been avoided—
still it is my conviction, as certain as I am now addressing
you, sir, that the time will com) wilco the Jews will receive
in this country that full and complete emancipation which
the noble lord believes they will receive, because ho has con-
fidence in the principle of religious liberty. I, too, sir, re-
spe3t•that principle, but, so far as the Jews are concerned, I
have faith in that Almighty Being who has never deserted
them.' (Cheers.)
Mr. MUNTZ, amid loud loud cries for a division, said that
he should vote against' the motion for the second reading of
the bill, although he had uniformly voted with the noble lord
in his attempts to remove the disabilities from the Jews, and
would be always ready' to do so whenever it was attempted in
a straightforward manner. (Ile tr ) If the noble lord would
bring in a bill to admit the Jews, and frame such au oath for
them as should be binding on their conscience, ho should have
his most cordial support, but ho could not subscribe to a
measure Which, like the present, proposed to alter the oaths
agreed to at the settlement of 1.29, and to break the com-
pact then entered into, which was considered satisfactory by
all I:arties. (Rear, hear.)
Mr. GOULBURII proceeded, amid renewed cries for a di-
vision, to state that he was the only member in the house
who was a member of the Duke of Wellington's Cabinet in
182 a, and who was a party with the late duke iu framing the
oath which now stood in the Roman Catholic Relief Bill.
When the measure was proposed by the noble duke, it was
more ample and freer from restrictions than any which the
friends of the Roman Catholics had previously proposed to
the house, and all the restrictions previously proposed by
Plunket and Grattan were studiously omitted from the bill,
the Duke of Wellington being willing—relying upon the good
faith and honour of the Roman Catholics—to waive all objec-
tions felt to their entering the house, so long as they swore to
. the form of oath then proposed. From that time to the pre-
sent, he had, in common with the late Sir Robert Peel, and.
with all the members of the Wellington Cabinet, distinctly
refused to concur in any measure which should interfere with
that great compact which was then entered into. (Hear,
hear.), He warned the house, and above all his fellow coun-
trymen of the Roman Catholic persuasion, to beware how
they lent their efforts to the introduction of the first step to-
wards the violation of, the compact then entered into. (Hear,
hear.) Such a emirs would, he thought, tend' to inflame the
passions of the people, and possibly endanger the substantial
provisi ins of that bill of 1829 which had been found to be so
beneficial to the country at large, and produce such an
amount of religious discord throughout the country as it
would be vain to attempt to repress. (Hear, hear.) Upon
these grounds he could not reconcile it to himself to vote for
the bill as it now stood (Cheers.)
The house then diVided. It is usual for the result of a di-
vision to be reported by one of the tellers on the winning
side. When Sir F Thesiger was observed to take the paper
from the hands of the clerk a loud cheer arose from the Oppo-
sition benches, and was continued for several minutes. The
hon. and learned gentleman announced the number as follow :
For the second reading
Against it
Majority
—4
This defeat of the Government created an immense excite-
ment in the house. The delivery, by tho clerk, of the division
paper into Vie hands of Sir F. Thesiger, one of the tellers,
instead of to Mr. Hayter, was the signal for a burst of cheer-
ing, which lasted for several minutes After the announce-
ment of the result, for which Mr. Speaker could scarcely ob-
tain order, the cheering recommenced, and continued a
considerable time.
