Mr. HENLEY called upon those who were opposed;

to the measure to impede its progress by all the means'-
which the forms of the House admitted.
Colonel SIBTHORP said, that the conduct of the
Government in this case was only another example of
the principle acted upon by all Governments—of fere.:
ing on their measures by every sort of miserable
chicanery.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY,
The Derby betting, quoted in our last, excited no little
astonishment, Surplice and Nil Desperandum, who had
previously been respectively at 13 and 16 to 1, figuring
:it 5 and 6 to 1, and at the head of the list of favourites.
They were, all the rage yesterday, the Danebury nag
advancing to 11 to 2, and Surplice—after a large outlay
at 10 to 3 and 3to I—to sto 2. With regard to the
latter, we were publicly requested by Lord Clifden to
make it known that, '` as he stood to win a large stake
by one of his horses (evidently meaning Loadstone),
and nothing by the other, he should entirely consult his
own convenience as to which he should start, or which he
should declare to win with." This announcement had no
influence on the betting, Surplice remaining in immense
force to the close. The rise of these new favourites
almost paralysed the market, and made it so difficult to
get at the prices of the other favourites, that we cannot
pledge ourselves for the perfect accuracy of our quota
tions; we believe, however, that they are very near the
mark:—

APPREHENSION of the SWANSEA

MURDERERS.
SWANSEA, SATURDIT.—The excitement which has
prevailed in this district during the present week was
greatly increased on Thursday last by a vehicle being
observed to enter the town, guarded by a couple of
policemen with drawn swords. It was soon ascertained
that the occupants were the murderers. The prisoner
Thomas Martin was apprehended under very remark-
able circumstances. The police, -whilst scouring the
country, had their attention directed to a wood by as
extraordinary number of crows hovering round one of the
trees, at the same time they were making an unusual
noise. The officers imagined that probably some ono
war concealed in the tree, ancLon_goigg_ to ascertain.
whether such was the case or not they-faiiid the man
concealed in a bush near the tree. From the state of
his clothes it was quite apparent that he had been wash-
ing them, to remove the marks of blood.
Patrick Leary, Michael Leary, William Norris, and
John Norris were all apprehended in the-neighbourhood
of Cambridge. Patrick Leary, on being identified by a
man the police took along with them, said " I suppose
you want me; I am willing to go. J am willing to suffer
for what I have done." The prisoners, upon being
searched at the police station, were found to have mark'
of blood upon their clothing. They have all been placed

[ADYERTISMIENT.] A Severely Bruised and
Wounded Leg Cured by Holloway's Ointment and rills.
—Mr. Hugh 1114. Neil, of Kincardine, s shipwright, when
working on a vessel, struck his leg a most violent blow,
which inflicted a severe bruise and wound. The limb
immediately turned black from the ankle to the hip; fa
applications to it for weeks had no power to heal the
wound. The sufferer having heard so much in praise of
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, determined on trying
them, and fortunatelyihe did, for by their use alone hie
leg was cured, and he was able in a month to resume his
work. Sold by all Drugists, and at Professor JiloUtv%
