The betting yesterday afternoon was editlikli
Derby, and was extremely flat. The four priocipa fa
vourites remain pretty nearly in the same positions as where
we last quoted them, with the difference that Van Am-
burgh was in grra: request, and trod so closely upon the•
heels of Coronaii m that 6 to 5 would have b..ien taken
between them. Marshal Soult fluctuated between 14 and
and 18 to 1, and closed at 16 to 1, having backers at
each; the 18 to 1, we believe, was a hedging bet, and
was taken to 100/. Belgrade was constantly inquired
after, and in the course of the afternoon reached 20 to
1, taken in ponies, with an offer from his backer to
double it. Joachim was also in better favour, and left
off with the call of Camelcon. The price quoted against
the Rosalie colt, will save us, the. troub:e of any ob-
servation. Young Quo Minus and Ertueng4rdis were in
favour at 1,000 to Is, and Finchley at 1,000 to 10, but
it will be seen that the outside rinks (thanks to the exbi-
bitions at Newmarket, is re4uced to a skeletor.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
May 3—" Inv. of the Cross."—AlooßE's ALMANACY..

STR,—That Bishops are admirers of Papacy there can
be no doubt, and it ought not to excite " esoecial wonder,"
or great amazement, that they should be so, or that they
should have a hearty (though secret) desire to return to
that communion from which their predecessors, some three
centuciei ago, professed to dis,,,ent ; and against the vain
ceremonies and ordinances of which Church their prede-
cessors protested, and Egainst which they, the' Bishops,
now profess to protest, although it is se:f-evident to all
reflecting and unprejudiced minds, that they have a hearty
and sincere, though secret, longing after that which their
predecessors protes.ei against. If these things Le not so,
bow is it that certain arnorg:t them have sent forth. or
caused to be sent forth, a fteler, in shape of the Oxford
Tracts ?

You have done much to weaken the vain, absurd, ridi-
culous trick ; of which timely interference and check, you
will, at no very distant period, see the fruits.
It would be well at treis time to set before the people at
large, is its true colours, the cause of the original rupture
between Mother Church of the Continent, and her
daughter.in.law of England ; but it is not my purpose
to enter more fully now into this subject, I merely wish on
the present occasion to ask these natural men (1 Cor.
chap. ii. v,r. 14), the admirers of Papacy—Puseyites—
sticklers fur the traditions, alias the invent ons of men,
when, where, in what age of the world, under what cir-
cumstances, and for what purpose, did Mother Church of
Italy hold the first Feast of " the Invention of the Cross ?"
and for the celebration of which this day (May 3) is sanc-
tified—i. e., sct apart, in the present year? Tae Pusey-
ites are very learned in this legendary lore,*, aid can, no
doubt, give us a full, true, and particular account of thin
wonderous invention ; to which I would most earnestly call
the attention of the people, as there is more biJden under
this " Invention of the Cross," than the admirers of Papacy
ever dreamt of in their vain philosophy, and which shall
be made apparent when the proper time arrives. 1, Cot-.

NO JUSTICE FOR IRELAND.—Lord Mor-
peth's Irish Voters' Bill was, on Thursday night, detested
in Committee by a majority Of 300 to 289—a majority of
eleven in a house (including tellers, Cnairruan, and
Speaker) of 595 Members ; leaving of the whole num-
ber but sixty-three absentees, paired or otherwise ab-
sent. It has been often said by such Irish Liberals as
seek not for " Repeal," that Mr. O'Connell ought
to give up the agitation of that question, and to ap-
ply himself to such measures of Reform as are practicable
at the hands of a British Senate, viz.:— an irteree of
Irish Rrepresentatives in the House of Commons, exten-
sion of the franchise, Vote by Ballot, &c. &c.—that the
Imperial Parliament is ready and willing to do jus!dee to
Ireland, if what is practicable be only asked, but that
Repeal they will refuse at all hazards. Non-Repealers
say, and have said, why not give an Imperial Parlia-
ment a fair trial ?—and that then, if justice appears not to
be had from it, they will all beccme Repealers themselves.
Will any of those Imperial Parliament_justice-seekirg
gentlemen now say that a sufficient trial has not beengiven ; and that, so far from a semblance of justice beingts
likely to be obtained, every proceeding of a B 1 fl 11
Senate is marked by a deadly bate towards this
country? O'Connell has over and over said, that jus7
tics is cot to be bad from an English Parliament, (and
events have proved that he was right,
thought differently from him), and that Repeal was the
only panacea for the evils of this unfortunahtee

there can be no doubt that the first of the two principles
of copyright is applicable to a sermon. The difficulty of

the second of these principles. 'Fite delivery of a ser-

in the relation of the preacher to his congregation which
can sanction such a step. His duty is to teach and in-
struct, to point out religions duty, and to rersuade his
congregation to be zealuus in discharge of it; but not to
make them a present of an essay which they may publish

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 6.

The CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at
Five o'Clock.
Messengers from the House of Commons brought up a
number of Bills, of which the titles were not heard in the
gallery.
The Marquis of lIUNTLY presented a petition on
the subject of Church Patronage in Scotland, but the de-
signation of the petitioners was not heard.
Lord KENYON presented a petition from Sir Harcourt
Lees, against the grant to Maynooth College ; also a pe-
tition from Derby, for the exclusion of Roman Catholics
from Parliament.
Lord POLTIMORE presented a number of petitions
for the abolition of Church-rates.
Lord WH ARNCLIFFE presented a petition from
the attorneys and solicitors of Taunton, for a revision of
the laws of marriage ; also a petition to the same
effect from the inhabitants generally of that town. The
Noble Lord said that on Thursday next be should present
some petitions to the same effect.
Lord RED ESD ALE presented several petitions
against alteration of the Corn-lawn, from Oxfordshire ;
also a petition from Fitzroy-square, for the removal of the
tolls on the metropolitan bridges.
The Earl of WESTMEATH presented a petition from
the county of Antrim against Church patronage in Scot-
land.
Lord H ATHERTON presented a petition from Char-
lotte-street Chapel for the removal of the toll on metro-
politan bridges.
A number of petitions to thl same effect were presented
by other Noble Lords.
The Earl of CIIARLEVILLE presented a petition
from Enniskillen against Church patronage in Scotland.
CORN-LAWS. . _

The Earl of WINCHILSE A presented petitions from
Ashford and other places in the county of Kent against
any alteration is the present C rn.laws.
The Earl of FITZWILLIAM presented petitions for
the repeal of the Corn-laws from Arbroath and Barnstaple,
and from Bingley and Saddlewortb, in the West Riding of
Yorkshire. The Noble Lord gave notice that he would,
tc-morrow, present a petition to the same effect from Leeds.
In answer to Lord ASHBURTON,
The Earl of FITZ WILLI A M said he did not mean to
go into a discussion of the general question until after
the proceedings in another House, of which notice bad
been given.—( Hear, hear.) But he thought it due to
the great town from which the petition came to give notice
of its presentation.
Lord ASHBURTON thought that if they were to
wait until the Biil upon the subject of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer's new project for obtain.
ing money without taxes, came before their Lordships,
the three measurer, corn, sugar, and timber duties,
they would never have an opportunity of discussing
them at all; for he was sure the good sense of the country
would prevent those measures from ever coming before
them.—( Hear, hear.) There never was a greater delu-
sion, nor a greater bubble than the project in question.
The Earl of FITZ WILLIAM wished to remind his
Noble Friend that these were new laws.—( Hear, from
Lord Melbourne.) He (Lord Fitzwilliam) was ashamed
to say that when he was a young man he voted for them,
but his Noble Friend opposite ( Lord Ashburton) could
look back with pride to the firm, wise, and powerful oppo-
sition which he gave to them, night after night, when he
stood alone against 500 united Members of the House of
Commons.—(Cheers.) His Noble Friend then rightly
called the scheme a monstrous project—( Hear, hear)._
and monstrous it would still be called by every man who
had a drop of commercial blood in his veine.—( Cheers
and laughter.) But he was afraid that every drop of com-
mercial blood had oozed from his Noble Friend since be
bad changed his character from that of a merchant and a
liberal politician to that of a great landowner and an
aristocrat.—( Cheers and laughter.) The majorities against
a relaxation and revision of the Corn-laws had been gra-
dually diminishing even in that Hourse. Last year be
(Lord Fitzwilliam) had 42 votes in his favour, whereas
the year before he was supported only by 23 votei.—
( Hear, hear.) He was sorry that the discussion had been
so inconveniently ietrodueed, but it had not been by him.
Lori ASHBURTON explained. The proposition
which he opposed its 1815 was to raise the duty on corn,
in time of peace, from 60s. to 804.—( H. ae, hear.) In-
deed, a gentleman, who was now an aevocete for free
trade, said at that time that 804. would net,er do—( Hear,
hear)—that nothing less than I2os. would do.—(Ceeteet.)
For his own part, he was satified that some protection
was nece;s,lry to the landed interest.
The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE presented petitions
from the county of Down for the better observance of the
Sabbath and from other places in the north of Ireland
against Church patronage in Scotland. Aleo petitions
from the county of Down, praying for the better obqerv-
anee of the Sabbaths. Alto sev:ral petitions from Scot-
land and Ireland against Church patronage in Scotland.

The Marquis cf LANSDOWNE presented a pe!ition
from Portsea in favour of the Bill for removing Jewish
Disabilities.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

In answer to aquestion from Lord E L LENBORO UG EL

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that in pursuance
of the Act for improving the proceedings in tFe Courts
of Chancery, certain rules had been framed by himeelf,
with the assistance of the other Judg,s, but they were
not yet in a fit state to lay before the House, as required
by the Act, nor could he state with certainty when they
would be.
