, I the Bill. He trusted that the Noble Lord, having offered a
fair compromise to the Honourable Members opposite! would
;
l succeed in carrying out that principle of popular election ands
popular control, which was so much required in the naunicipi A • rz-
corporations of Ireland. , , 7,
After a few words from Mr. E. TENNENT,
Sir R. INGLIS trusted that the Corporations of Ireland
would always be found the stronghold of the Church.
Mr. D. ROCHE believed the Bill would be for the benefit
of all classes.
Sir R. PEEL hoped that the present question might be now'
brought to an amicable and satisfactory conclusion. He thought
where towns were unwilling to receive Corporations that Go-
vernment should not press them upon them. He thought the
amplest time ought to be given for the consideration of the
Bill. He would give no pledge as to the course he should pur-
sue, except that he should strictly abide by the declaration be
had already made.
After a few observations from Mr. PIGOT, leave was
given to bring in the Bill.
The LORD ADVOCATE moved for leave to bring in a
Bill to provide for the better regulation of Municipal Corpora-
tions in Royal Burghs in Scotland.
Sir G. CLERK thought these Corporations might better be
done away with in the smaller and poorer Burghs, as had been
suggested by a Royal Commission.
The LORD ADVOCATE would attend to the suggestion.
Sir J. GRA HAAI wished to know if it was the intention of
the Learned Lord to deal with the boundaries, or affect the
qualifications, of the Municipal Corporations of Edinburgh and
Glasgow.
The LORD ADVOCATE said a Bill was to be brought in
upon that subject.—Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
PRINCE LEOPOLD.
Captain POLHILL moved for a return of all monies re-
ceived by Prince Leopold from this country since 1818.
The House Adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'Clock.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
For nearly the whole of the afternoon Theon was a dead
letter in the market, nor would it hare been easy to make a
quotation against him even at the close, had not an offer to lay
15 to 1 against him, and the same against the Angelica colt,
in one bet, relieved us from the difficulty; this bet was taken
eagerly.twice, and thus we are constrained to put them down as
even favourites ; it shouldbe added,however, that 15 to 1 had pre-
viously been taken about Angelica colt, and several attempts made
on the part of the takers to go on at the same price, and to back
him against Theon. Launcelot rose to 16 to 1 with plenty of
friends; ditto Confederate, who was backed at the opening at
18 to 1 in hundreds ; these odds were laid to the same amount
against Bokhara, and a point above his former quotation
offered against Muley Ishmael. Ottoman was backed
rather freely at 24 to 1 ; and Wardan, first at 26
to 1 (taken in good quarters), and subsequently at 28
to 1 ; the same odds were accepted three •r four times
about Gambia. Monops was backed freely at a fraction above
40 to 1, and notwithstanding the blemish indicated by hie name,
has a strongish party. The Oaks was confined to Japonica, and
did not possess the slightest interest.
