MONEY- iIIARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 18 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31.
17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.60; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.50, it follows that gold is 0.39 percent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Barn-
burgh the price of gold is 430 per mark,
which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.104 ; and the
exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13.11,
it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London
than in garaburgb.

Twelve o'Clock.
LORDS' AMENDMENTS.
The Lords' amendments to the Shrewsbury Market
Bill were considered and agreed to. _ _

THIRD READINGS.
The Drumpeller Railway Bill was read a third time
and passed.
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
The Gr€ at Northern Railway (Isle of Axbolme ex-
tension) Bill was read a third time.

On the motion that the Bill do pass,
Lord GALWAY moved the insertion of a clause by
way of rider, to compel the company to complete the
line from Gainzborough to Bourtry, before they entered
upon the Isle of Axholme line. The company had al-
ready expended upwards of three millions of money, for
which they had paid 200,0001. interest, and had not
opened more than half a mile of railway.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER opposed the clause. With re-
spect to the statement of the Noble Lord, that not more
than half a mile of the railway was now opened,
he had to state that 120 miles of the railway was already
constructed in Lincolnshire, and would be opened in
September next ; added to which, 250 miles in other
parts was nearly completed.
After a short discussion, in which Captain Duncombe,
Mr. Pussey, Mr. Grantley Berkeley, and Mr. Green took
part, the House divided, when there appeared—
For the insertion of the clause
Against it
_ _ _

Majority against the clause
The clause was consequently lost, and the Bill was
passed.

dents in Van Diemen's Land, against a revival of the
system of transportation; also a petition from several
hundred fathers of families in Van Diemen's Land to
the same effect, and praying that a free representative
Assembly might be conceded to the colony. The first
petition was very long, going very fully into the
affairs of thecolony, and giving numerous details as to
its present financial position. The Hon. Gentlemaa
gave notice that to-morrow he should move that these
petitions be printed with the votes.
Mr. W. J. FOX presented a petition from Finsbury,
in favour of a national system of education.
Mr. J. MATHESON presented a petition against the

zation.

NOTICE OF MOTION.
Mr. EWART gave notice that to-morrow he should
ask the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home
Department whether Government intended to introduce
any meaaure for the regulation of grammar schools?
Mr. GEORGE THOAIPSON gave notice that to-
morrow he should put a question to the Right Hon.
Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment in reference to a variety of communications he had
received, alleging that on Sunday last the police of the
Tower Hamlets assembled, and injured large numbers of
the inhabitants of that borough.—(Cries of "Oh, oh.")
Ile should also ask the Right lion. Baronet whether he
had received any communication of a similar nature.—
(Cries of " Oh, oh.")
MR. MITCHEL. _ .

Sir WM. VERNER, seeing the Right lion. Baronet
the Secretary of State for the Home Department he
wished to ask him, whether he had heard, and if there
were any truth in the report, that John Mitchel, when
put on board the Shearwater to bo conveyed to Spike
Island, was entertained by the officers on board the
vessel at their mess, and treated in a way that was
unbecoming a convicted felon.
Sir G. GREY said he had received no report or
official information on the subject, but certainly a report
bad reached him that the assistant-surgeon, and not the
officers of the Shearwater entertained Mr. Mitchell at
breakfast on his way to Spike Island. Upon receipt of
that information he communicated it to his Noble Friend
the First Lord of the Admiralty, and no doubt the
matter would be satisfactorily dealt with by that Noble
Lord.

IRISH REGISTRATION.
Mr. HAMILTON wished to know when the Irish
Registration Bill would come on.
Sir GEORGE GREY said his Noble Friend the
First Lord of the Treasury would state on Friday.
GAME CERTIFICATES FOR KILLING HARES

BILL.
On the order of the day being read for considering
be report on this Bill,
Mr. ELLIOT moved the insertion of a clause to the
effect that a tenant should have power to grant written
permission to kill hares on their farms
The amendment gave rise to a long discussion in
which Captain HARRIS and others took part.
Mr. BURKE said he was opposed not only to the
clause but the Bill altogether, and lie warned the landed
interest of that House, that, if this Bill passed, it would
ultimately lead to the utter annihilation of the game-
laws.—(Hear, hear.) In fact this Bill proposed
nothing more nor less than to establish free trade
in hares, and he should not be at all surprised if next
year the Honourable Member for Manchester came for-
ward to extend the principle to partridges, pheasants,
and indeed any and every description of game.
The amendment was ultimately withdrawn.
Mr. COLVILLE moved that in clause one the words
"by any means, save as hereinafter excepted," be
omitted.
Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY gave notice that on
the third reading he should move the insertion of
several clauses, and took the opportunity of stating that
the Bill would confer no boon upon the tenants, inas-
much as the landlords would take good care that the
provisions of this Bill should never be put in force.
Colonel SIBTHORP admitted that tenants suffered
much from the injuries done to their fat ms by hares,
but he submitted that the better way to deal with that
difficulty was not to give them power to kill the hares,
which, in his opinion, was no boon at all, but to provide
that the landlord should make good the damage done
by the game in the shape of compensation to the tenant.
Mr. H. BERKELEY said lie was a free-trad
eer, and
he desired to see free-trade in game as well as in very-
thing else, and would support the right of every man to
kill the game which he bred. He considered, however,
that great mischief would result from giving power to
tenants to destroy game by fire-arms, because murder
had frequently been committed through the use of that
instrument, whereas no danger attended the use of
snares.
After a few observations from some other Hon. Mem-
bers, the House divided, when there appeared—
For the omission

OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT RACES.-These spi-
rited and interesting eight-oared races were brought to
a conclusion on the evening of Monday last, when Christ
Church, who has gallantly headed the river for the two
last seasons, came in number one. Worcester, which
are considered the finest oarsmen on the river, and who
on the first and second evenings of racing signalized
themselves, bumped Pembroke and Brasenose, number
two. Pembroke, although bumped by Worcester, have,
by serving Brazenose the same, maintained their posi-
tion, as at the commencement, viz., number three. Wad-
ham also, by bumping Brazeuose, was placed number
four, while Brazenose was lowered from number two to
five. Balliol has remained the same throughout, viz.,
number six; Jesus also number seven; and Trinity, who
succeeded in bumping Lincoln the first night, number
eight; after which, the latter was taken off the river.
NEW REFORM MOVEMENT. KINGSTON-ON-.
THAMES, JUNE 3.—A deputation from Mr. Joseph
Ilume and other Members in favour of the New Reform

measures to call a public meeting to further their views,
and reports are current that such will be called the week
after next, several well-known reformers having pledged
themselves to the deputation to that effect.
