SPORTIN G IN TELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—YxbreaDay.
The Subscription-room was cronded until considerably beyond the
nsual hour of closing, and, :what with the settling for the Metro-
politan Handicap (which, by the way, would have been much easier
had three or four parties been considerate enough to employ some
one to pay and receive for them) and speculating on the various
events now in the market, was reasonably brisk. The odds laid
however, were in several instances so conflicting, that, while be-
lieving our quotations to be very near the mark, we by no means
pledge ourselves for their entire accuracy. The most prominent
favourites for the Newmarket Handicap were Corranna, Beaumont,
Arthur, and Spur, each having attained the position assigned him
below, after a rather liberal outlay, in the early part of the afternoon,
at 20 to I. We did not observe any great inclination to back the
leading favourites for the Chester Cup, but Crlm. Con., Vitula, and
Mermaid were decidedly in favour. The business on this race was
flat. Sting and Brocardo were not in demand for the Derby, but the
Traverser and Torn Tullock were; the latter at a great improve-
ment on last week's quotations. The betting also touched upon the
Oaks and Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, but did not exhibit any-
thing like a " feature." Closing prices :

up their minds to let Parliamentary affairs take their
usual course. No impartial observer can blame the
Government for this delay. We believe Sir ROBERT

PEEL and his colleagues are most anxious to have the
corn• law question settled, and could have adopted no
other course. It is admitted on all hands that the state
of certain Irish counties is frightful, that no man's life
or property is secure, and that a general system of
assassination prevails unheard-of in civilised countries.
The Government would have been only abettors of these
horrible and un-English crimes if they had delayed till
after Easter measures for abating the evil, and would
justly have incurred public indignation for such apathy.
A Bill—whether exactly suited to the purpose or not we
cannot say—was passed through the House of
Lords, with very general consent from Whigs
as well as Tories, and sent down in due form
to the other House. According to universal
custom And the recognised regulations of Parliament, a
Bill of this character coming from the Upper House is
read a first time without delay, the discussion being
taken on the second reading, or some other stage of the
Bill. Any other course by which delay could take place
would be considered not only as an act of contempt to-
wards the Lords, but would cast great blame on the Go-
vernment, who might be justly accused of attending
more to their own favourite measures than the peace of
Ireland, or the protection of innocent men from the
daily plots of assassins. But they have been thwarted,
and may be utterly defeated in their views, at least as to
any seasonable relief for such crying iniquities, by the
advantage which some of the Irish Members have taken
of privileges allowed to a minority in the House. The
business of Parliament, and the very relief of the starving
Irish, are stopped in their course, because Mr.
O'CoNsIELL strongly objects to certain clauses of
the Bill, and considers himself therefore justified in
resisting it with unyielding hostility at the very thresh-
hold. Previous to the meeting of Parliament he an-
nounced his intention to depart from a course of policy
which he had for some time adopted, and take his
seat as usual, in order to assist the Government in
carrying their great and benevolent scheme fur the
abolition of the corn-laws. Whether he has fulfilled his
promise we leave our readers to judge.
In fact, he and Lord GEORGE BENTINCK. are
working together, though, we trust, with different
purposes, to defeat a measure so urgent and necessary,
and so anxiously desired by many millions throughout
the United Kingdom. And for what purpose? To mark
his hatred of some clauses which could be modified or
struck out in Committee. Even admitting that they
are not justified except on extraordinary occa-
sions, and that the liberty of the subject ought always
to be one main object in the view of every good
legislator, we must bear in mind that this Bill is to be
only temporary, and that it is not to be called into ope-
ration except in cases of great atrocity, and almost
a total dissolution of the bonds of society ; and be-
sides, it is the bounden duty of the innocent to submit
for a time to some curtailment of their rights and pri-
vileges for the good of the community at large. We
cannot imagine any infringement of the law of the land
half so insupportable as the state of society that
prevails in some of the Catholic counties of Ireland.
Is assassination, and an utter contempt of law, and
justice, and religion, to be suffered to remain unchecked,
because a severe remedy may be proposed? Is the main
business of the session to be stopped ? Are the protec-
tionists to be encouraged in their opposition, and the
trade of the country to be thrown into utter confusion,
because the Government have resolved on strong
measures to put down atrocities which are a stain and
a disgrace to a Christian community ?

All important discussion was raised last night by Lord
SANDON, with respect to what course the Government was
prepared to recommend for the purpose of checking the
amount of railway legislation during the present session.
Thelfember for Liverpool quoted the circulars of mercan-
tile bodies of high authority, expressive of their greatest
apprehensions for the welfare of our trade and com-
merce, already considerably affected by the conse-
quences of the railway mania of last year, if steps be
not speedily taken against converting the millions that
may be required for the projected railways from float-
ing into fixed capital. Sir ROBERT PEEL at
once recommended the following plan : To pass
a Bill as speedily as possible limited to this ob
ject—viz., that a majority holding more than half the
stock of, a company should be entitled to represent to
Parliament their desire of not proceeding with the Bill,
and that thereupon Parliament should refuse their sanc-
tion to any further proceedings ; that those by whom
the scheme was originally proposed should remain re-
sponsible for all liabilities. And he also thought that it
might be desirable that a trustee or official assignee
should be appointed to take possession of the pro-
perty and appropriate it to those who have claims upon it.
The known caution of the Premier, and his unrivalled
experience and skill, in all matters of finance, impart the
greatest weight to any suggestions he may offer, or to
any plans he may devise. In the early part of the ses-
sion he warned Parliament of the commercial derange-
ment that would be likely to ensue unless some power-
ful check was imposed in the way of diverting from the
industrial and ordinary channels of trade so enormous
an amount of capital. He did not at that time meet
with the support necessary to carry his plan into exe-
cution. Having failed in inducing Parliament to put a
direct check to the threatened evil, his proposition of last
might, as an indirect means of compassing the same end,
is, perhaps, taken altogether, the most reasonable, safe,
and fair that could be made. The plan is to be more
fully developed to-night in the House of Lords, the
pressure of business in the Commons rendering it im-
possible to introduce or make any progress with the
Bill there at present.

MIMI WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
Slanting .. 3 agnates after 11. Evening .. 36 minutes after IL

We have received numerous communications calling
our attention to the various devices adopted by the
managers of several of the defunct railway schemes, who
are attempting to take advantage of the supposed legal
decision in the case of WOOLMER v. TOBY to extort
from the allottees contributions varying in amount on
the number of shares allotted to them. In our columns
of the 23d and 28th of March we impunged the justice
of the verdict, stating the reasons why we did not con-
ceive it could stand, and also showed that, in point of
fact, no decision whatsoever had been arrived at, but
that the very important questions of law involved therein
were reserved for argument before, and the decision of,
the full court.
Circulars have since been sent, calling attention to
that case, by which (as it is said) the legal liability of
the several parties to whom shares have been allotted to
pay the whole of the deposit on such shares is fully es-
tablished. They then, although having this power, in
their disinterested affection for the allottees, express
their readiness to accept a small sum, which they think
parties may be induced to pay rather than go into a
court of law to contest the claim, which they state that
they are willing to accept in full for all demands if paid
before a given day (always fixed before the final
decision of WOOLMER v. ToBY can possibly be-obtained),
by which time, if the sum claimed be not paid, immediate
proceedings are to be instituted for the entire demand.
Such is the usual course. Sometimes, however, the
letter comes from an attorney, who demands a further
suns of ss. for his printed or lithographed letter; but all
these attempts have been far cast into the shade by one
recently adopted in a circular, bearing date the 31st of
March (and since also adopted by another company),
which purports to contain a leading article of
the Times of the 24th of March. They have therein
printed all such portions of the above article
as appear to be in favour of the demand, but they
cautiously omit the part bearing the other way, wherein
the case of NOCKELS V. CROSBY, aml the judgment of
the Court of Queen's Bench thereon is cited, and the
observation that, " Unless this can be distinguished
from WOOLMER v. TOBY, the verdict in the latter is
clearly wrong, so far as it went, upon the defendant's
liability not being released by the abandonment of the
scheme," what can bo thought of the conduct of those
persons who thus attempt, by garbled quotations, to
induce the public to believe that they have an
authority in their favour, which, if the entire
was given, must appear to bear the other way? Must
they not be conscious of the weakness of their cause when
they have recourse to such unworthy means? What-
ever may be the result of the question as to the liability
of the allottees, we should consider ourselves unworthy
of our position as public journalists, did we not discoun-
tenance by every means in our power such a proceeding,
and expose the trickery by which it is characterised.

...
Our friends are proved--....
in the days of trouble, according
to an ancient proverb ; and, acting upon this principle,
Ireland may now discover those who sympathise
with her sufferings, and those who are indifferent to her
misfortunes. Fortunately for humanity, the number of
the former infinitely preponderates over the number
Of the latter. Those must be callous-hearted in-
deed—those must be impervious to every feeling
of benevolence—those must richly merit our execra-
tion, who can behold the aggregation of cala-
mities now pressing upon our sister country without
some sense of commiseration, without some wish to par-
ticipate in the development of ameliorative measures.
Men who can witness, without a pang of pity, whole
districts thrown into confusion by the visitations of,
