THE LIVERPOOL CUP, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN.
Eatt,—The Liverpool Cup, value 200 soya., in specie, added
to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 25 sorsa each, 15 forfeit, and
. only if declared, with various penalties and conditions, the
_
etonsequenoe of the handicap being very injudiciouslypu.
Imbed in April, ie the next stake of note that claimsis
the particular attention of the sporting world._ It is
run on Thursday next; and is, as usual,
over the two-
mile coarse. Out of the eighty-eight nomintation
sto it,
these not
wily thirtyeeight have cried content ; and
more than a dozen or fifteen, at the outside, will find their
way to the post. Among the missing ones, I imagine, will be
found Cossack, Elthiron, Clincher, Rhesus': Windischgratz,k,
Damask, Brother to Dough, Borneo, Earl of Warwick,
Legerdemain, Teddington, Crookahanks, Colt by Charleswi
XII., and Cyclops. According to my latest accounts,
s,the
moat certain runners are Glauca, 5 yrs, Bst 71b ; Officious,
4 yrs, 7st 91b; Strongbow, 5 yrs, 7st 21b; Champion,
yrs, ist 21b, or Backbiter, 6 yrs, ist 101 b ; the Mar-
qais, 8 yrs, 6st 101 b ; Abbess of Jervaux, 4 yrs, 6st 41b,
g'ad 311:4 extra ; Yivandiere, 3 yrs, sst 121 b ; and Breba, 3 yrs,
Art. It is very probable, however, two or three of the following
may also start, viz. :—Russborough, 4 yrs, Bst 71b; The
&windier, 4 yrs, 7st; Lady Eden, 4 yrs, Est 121 b; Hip-
pitytua, 3 yrs, Set 121 b, and 51bs extra; filly by Harkaway,
dam by Rush, 3 yrs, sst 101 b ; Jack Leeming, 3 yrs, sst 61b ;
and another of Dawson, s in Snowstorm, Chief Justice, or Col-
s ter disose. Mr, Payne's chance with his chesnut daughter
of Cotherstone—a five year old at Set 71b, is by no
means a remote one ; Glauoa's running at the
alma of last season proved her powers of staying
and carrying weight ; and it would not surprise me
to see her, or her companion in the top weights, Russ-
borough, heading the field in 'the " return lists" of the day
the Latter'a ()hence is a good one if meant for this stake,
as he can not only compass the distance but go the
pace. Backbiter I cannot fancy ; with the exception
of' one or two, his feats have been very mediocre. Offici-
ates, I believe, will represent the Goodwood interests,
anti as she is once more in her wonderful two-year
old form, the middle weights, perhaps, with the so-
litary erneption of Strongbow, will have to concede the palm
of victory to her should it fall to any one of this lot. Mr.
Drinkald's Cyprus, if his running with Pitsford in the Great
Yorkshire Stakes was true, ought to run forward here; but I
doubt his doing so very much. The five-year old Strongbow,
at 7st 21b, must possess a respectable chance this time atsuch
a weight as the handicapper has allotted to him; the only
tear I entertain with respect to him is that he will find
the distance a little too far ; he, however, will be one
of the first four. Champion, same age and weight,
as Strongbow, is held perfectly safe by the latter, Leger-
demain, as I before remarked, is not likely to be found at the
post. The Swindler at 7st, is perfectly useless for this
event. The Derby victor, Teddington, at Est 131 b, and 101bs
extra for winning the " great go" of the present year,
making together 7st 91b, is placed hors de combat ; yet,
etrangeito say, some of the public have invested on his chance.
Chief Justice and Lady Eden are much on a par; I do not
think that their day of days will be in the ensuing week.
Landseer is hopeless, at least in this instance. Mr. Watts's
three year old sea of Birdcatcher and Ellen, the Marqus, has
appeared in public six times, in five instances coming off as
the conquering hero; but, these feats it must be borne in
mind were accomplished on the other side of the Channel on
the fee-firmed Ourragh, where the various competitors possess,
except in rare instances, a peculiar habit of running most
abominably " in and out," thereby defying, to a great extent,
iay certain calculations on their merits. This peculiarity does
not streets itself so much to The Marquis as to many others.
AA he has become so great a favourite for this event, I will
Jet glance over his performances: he made his first appear-
anee at the Curragh in the last September meeting, when,
carrying Bst 41b, he won the Anglesey Stakes by a neck
from the Perdita filly, Bst; the filly by Harkaway, dam by
Rust, lasing the second place (in attempting to gain the first
by going up between the Perdita filly and The Marquis, in
which attempt she failed) by a length. Ten lengths or more
divided the held (which consisted of the Marquis of Caribbas,
Dearest Mae, Circe filly, The Abbess, Lord Edward, Coquette,
and Lurches), from the leading trio. Whipcord and steel
was used pretty freely in finishing. The Marquis's second
appearance was on the Tuesday in the October meeting,
when he beat the Monies colt by a neck, both carrying Bst;
and on the following Thursday, with Est 51b pp, won the
Lord-Lieutenant's Plate by three or four lengths, beating the
Monica colt, Est 51b, second; Tancred, bat 51b, third; and
Ives others, of no account whatever. His next appearance
was in the April Meeting this year, when he won the Queen's
Plate (1 in. 6 fur. 3 yds.) very easily by five lengths, carrying
7st 11b, beating Blucher, 6 yrs, lOst 41b, second, and three
others. In the same meeting, on the last day, for the
second class of the Madrid Stakes (1 mile, 130 yards) car-
ying Ast, he was beaten easily some ten or a dozen lengths
by the Monica colt, 7st 81b, first ; Roller, 7st 91b, second ;
filly by Harkaway, dam by Rust, Bst 21b, third. The field
consisting of The Marquis, 9st ; Perdita filly, Bst 41b; Tan-
*red, 7st 91b ; and Tribute, ist 51b, were beaten early,
not being able to live the pace. His sixth and last ap-
pearance was on Wednesday week, when he won the Queen's
Plate, carrying 7st 41b (1 an. 6 fur. 3 yds.) very easily by
mix or eight lengths, beating Tancred, same weight, second;
7at 11b, third, and five other trashy ani-
mals. His next appearance in public will be at Liver-
pool, where he will run unconamonlyi well, and if I am
not much mistaken, will obtain a place, the third at least if
no nearer. I shoeld have taken him as the absolute and
uneondibismal winner had he not been weighted some
six or seven pounds too much. The Abbess of Jer-
vaux, 4 yrs, Est 71b, is decidedly " well in ;" her chance is
ly no means a "forlorn hope." Caurire will be no go.
Hippdrytus, at Est 31b, if The Marc ais possessed a good
thence at cyst bib, ought to be there or thereabout; but
rumour whispers a tale about that for very potent reasons
he will this bout not figure as A 1 at the judgment seat. If
Ise should go to the post in form, he will be ens of the first
three at the finish. Vivancliere has no attractions for me. Ditto
Truth. The filly Xky Harkaway, dam by Rust, raceieving 141bs
trona The Marquis, in lieu of the twelve she received from him
in the race for the second-class Madrid Stakes, when she beat
him Live or six lengths, and likewise showing a balance in
has: favour of Nibs on the Anglesey Stakes rennin.. of last
year, when she succumbed a length to him, and the Perdita
Ally ought, if meant for this stake, on the strength of such
running, to be the absolute winner ! Colsterdale, sst 71b,
and Jack Leeming, sst 61b, are " well in," and that is
all I can say in their favour just now. Sir Joseph
Hawley, as has been the case very often this year, is the
lucky possessor of the favourite, who this time stands
forth to the world in the shape of a black daughter of
Touchstone and Lady Mary. Breba at sst, aided by such a
light weight ought to be able to stay the distance ; yet some
of the eJeverest judges of the day doubt her capability of
king se. I am convinced she must run very forward,
and nothing would surprise me less than to see in her the
winner; at the same time, however, I feel inclined to
give the preference to Sir Thomas Burke's filly, but this is
eenditionally, as I am not certain that the latter animal will
run, much less win. The first flight I should say would con-
siet of Glauca, Officious, Strongbow, The Marquis, Hippo-
lytus, Rust Silly, and Breba; one of the three last-named
time winner, and as things at present stand I should be in-
clined to take BREELL for choice. A more decided

TUE LATE ROBBERY AT THE LONDON AND
WESTMINSTER BANK.
William Cauty, aged 69, and John Tyler, aged 62,
were brought before Mr. Hardwick for re-examination,
charged with stealing from the branch establishment of
the London and Westminster Bank, St. James's-square,
a eash-box containing two 51. notes and an account-
beak, the property of the directors thereof.
The particulars of the previous examination appeared
at ROM length in this journal on Monday last, and will
therein.° be fresh in the recollection of our readers.

The prisoner Canty was then charged. with stealing
from the Grosvenor Arms, Belgrave-place, Belgrave-
square, a eash-box, containing 401., belonging to Mrs.
;Lary Ann Allen, the landlady.
Mr. Child, of the firm of Wire and Child, appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Vickey for the defence.
The Prosecutrix stated that on the 15th of May last
the prisoner Canty came to her bar, and called for a pint
of porter. She did not see him come in. He stood at
the bar for some time. The bar door was partially
open wad the prisoner walked in and asked permission
to write a letter to a Mr. Lane, whom he stated
rea intimate fiend of his. She allowed him to
wile into the bar, and he then inquired about
a lir. Webb, who was a customer of hers. She
replied to his inquiries, and he then told her that he al.

country—he had a downright horror of it—but he could
not get rid of the regard which he thought due to pri-
vate property.
Earl GRANVILLE felt very grateful to the Noble
Duke for the admission which ho had made as to the
merits of this Bill, and for his acknowledgment of the
very great evil which it was intended to remove. He
(Earl Granville) would not enter at present into the
merits of the Bill, but would confine himself strictly to
the question on the standing orders. Ile agreed with
the Noble Marquis, that in ordinary cases it was import-
ant that the standing orders should be complied with.
Bat there was a great difference between a Bill of this
magnitude and importance and a private Bill of the or-
dinary character. When a public Bill was introduced
into the other House of Parliament, if on the face of it
any of its provisions affected the rights and interests of
any individual or of any corporate body, it was referred
at once to the Standing Orders Committee, to see what
injury would he done to the rights and interests of that
individual, or of that corporation. Then the Standing
Orders Committee considered whether the parties would
be put to more inconvenience by its being introduced as
a public or a private Bill. If the interested parties were
put to more inconvenience by its being introduced as a
private Bill, then, if the due notices were not given, as
in a private Bill, the proceeding ceased; but, if not, then
the Committee considered whether they would be placed
in the same favourable situation as if it had been intro-
duced as a private Bill. In this case the Committee of the
House of Commons found that no injustice would be done
to the corporation of the city of London by introducing
this Bill as a public Bill; but on one particular
point it ordered a notice to be given to the corpora-
tion in the course of March last. The Noble Earl then
proceeded to examine the question whether any injustice
had been done to the corporation by the course now pur-
sued, and, after some reference to the evidence given
before the Committee in the House of Commons by one
of the corporation officers, concluded that no injustice
had been committed. When they recollected the notice
which the corporation received from the Secretary of
State in July last, and when they also recollected the
publicity which had been given to the subject by the
Committees which had been appointed, and by the in-
quiries which had been instituted, ho thought it quite
absurd to contend that any injustice had been inflicted
on the corporation in consequence of the notices not
having been given, which, it was said, the standing
orders required. He was of opinion that, if the House
did not agree to the course proposed by his Noble Friend
(Lord Beaumont), it would bring its standing orders
into disrepute, and would not increase the respect now
paid to the House itself.
The Marquis of SALISBURY said that the motion
of Lord Beaumont, if carried, would deprive the corpo-
ration of London of a boon conferred upon it by ancient
charter. If their Lordships should adopt that motion
the conclusions of the Standing Orders Committee
in every instance would be called into dispute.
Lord BEAUMONT observed, that his Noble Friend
had s .id that if his motion were adopted, we should
cast a slight on the reports and character of the Stand-
ing Orders Committee. He differed from his Noble
Friend, and joined issue with him on that point. The
Standing Orders Committee could not report otherwise
than it had reported on this Bill. That Committee was
appointed to investigate into the fact whether the stand-
ing. orders bad been complied with, and had properly
reported that they heti not. It was for their Lordships
to decide whether greater injustice would be done by
adhering to their standing orders or by suspending them.
The report, he admitted, was correct, and in due form;
but the right of enforcing the standing orders was not
with the Committee, but with their Lordships. The cor-
poration had not had formal, but it had received suffi-
cient notice. It could not, therefore, suffer any injury
from the adoption of his motion.
The Earl of DEVON contended that Lord Beaumont
had not described satisfactorily the whole functions of
the Standing Orders Committee. It was not correct to
say that the Standing Orders Committee had only to in-
quire into the fact whether the standing orders had been
complied with—for that Committee, having established the
fact that they had not been complied with, had authority
to recommendethat the Bill should not be proceeded with.
It had also authority, if the justice of the case required
such a recommendation, to recommend that it should be
proceeded with. Now the Committee had not given such
a recommendation with respect to this Bill; and in ab-
staining from this recommendation had, in his opinion.
exercised a just discretion. The question in this case
was simply this,—" Is the Bill of such importance that
it is absolutely necessary to pass it this year?" He had
looked very carefully into the provisions of the Bill, and
he did not think that it would accomplish such an
amount of public good as would justify their Lordships
in dispensing with their usual orders for the protection
of private rights and vested interests.
Lord BROUGHAM observed, that in voting for the
motion of Lord Beaumont, he merely voted on the point
of the propriety of dispensing with the standing orders.
All those Noble Lords who were opposed to the removal
of Smithfield-market—and he confessed that he was
strongly in favour of its removal—would have an oppor-
tunity of stating their opinions hereafter, and would not
be precluded from opposing this Bill by any vote they
might give now. He had originally been of opinion
that this Bill should have been treated as a private Bill,
and that the standing orders as to notices ought to have
been complied with; but on more mature reflection he
had had more than doubts of the correctness of his con-
clusion. This market of Smithfield was impeachable or
rather indictable as a public nuisance.—(Hear, hear.)
It might, he repeated, be so proceeded against. [The
Lord Chancellor said a few words—we did not hear them
—seemingly in contradiction to this dictum of Lord
Brougham.] Ho repeated that he thought that Smith-
field-market was a public nuisance, and that the rights
of the corporation were endangered by continuing such a
nuisance. It was a nuisance as a market, and it was a
still greater nuisance on account of the dangers which
environed the public in its avenues and approaches.—
(Hear, hear.) By the course proposed by his Noble
Friend opposite, those who opposed this Bill were not
shut out from opposing it; the corporation was not shut
out from defending this nuisance. It might still resist
the general cry for improvement, and might still main-
tain its right to stand by its ancient nuisance.—(Hear,
hear.) It was not true that the House of Commons
had treated this as a private Bill. It was theretore for
their Lordships to consider whether they would treat it
as such. If, however, he were asked, "Supposing it to
be a private Bill, will you suspend the standing orders?"
he had no hesitation in replying that ho would, and give
his support to Lord Beaumont's motion.
Lord REDESDALE observed that it was the duty
of the. Committee under the standing orders to state
their opinion, and to report it to the House, on the
question whether those orders had been complied with.
and whether, if not, the Bill should be proceeded with.
In this case the Committee had reported in the negative
on both these questions. If this motion were carried it
would be the first instance in which the report of the
Standing Orders Committee had been disregarded and
set aside; and it would open a door to injustice
which they would hare great difficulty in closing here-
after.

The House then divided, when there appeared—

The result of the division is that the Bill for the re-
moval of Smithfield-market will be proceeded with.
PURCHASE OF LANDS (IRELAND) BILL.
Lord BEAUMONT moved the second reading of the
Purchase of Lands Facilitation by means of Trust
Funds (Ireland) No. 2 Bill. Considerable sums of
money had been lent on landed property in Ireland
under the provisions of the Act known as Lynch's Bill,
the trustees being first mortgagees; but since the En-
cumbered Estates Act was passed, a puisne creditor had
power to force the sales of an estate, and the prior
mortgagee was precluded from bidding for the property
or interfering in the sale. The property was thus sold
for what it brought, and the mortgages were therefore
rendered comparatively valueless. The Encumbered
Estates Act by its operation had depreciated the value
of land throughout Ireland generally. Unless they took
steps to enable capital to go to and remain in Ireland
they would make the Encumbered Estates Act, which
might have been a most useful measure, one of the most
dangerous character, against which the hostility of the
country would be undoubtedly directed. The Bill he
proposed would prevent that danger. He moved that it
be read a second time.
