South-Western Branch to Windsor, having fairly divided
the traffic from London, the directors of the Great Wes-
tern Company did not feel themselves justified in con-
tinuing their annual gift of 300/.; but they very libe-
rally volunteered to place 1501. at the disposal of the
stewards, provided the South-Western Company would
contribute a similar amount; that company having de-
clined to do so, the " Great Western Railway" Handi-
cap, hitherto an important feature in the programme,
has fallen to the ground, and the prospect of sport for
Friday is poor indeed.
The races commence each day at half-past one.
The South-Western Railway Company have adver-
tised extra trains on the two great days (Tuesday and
Thursday) from the Waterloo Station, at low fares, and
similar a-ceommodetion is offered at the west-end by the
Great Western Company.

CRICKET MATCH AT MANCHESTER.
A grand match (which has occupied three entire days)
has taken place between the Broughton Club, assisted
by several members of the Manchester Club, against the
Eleven of all England. Twenty-two members played on
the provincial side. On the first day the eleven got 73
notches. The Broughton and Manchester Club then
went in, and continued in till the middle of the next day,
scoring 69. This success, and the fact of " Big Mynns"
going out without a notch, encouraged the provincials,
and betting was 5t04 on the latter. England went in
and made 69, a number considered sufficiently small, and
the Manchester and Broughton boys went in in high
spirits. Battery (one of the four professionals on the
Manchester) scored 26 notches off his own bat, and bet-
ting rose to 5t02 on the Broughtons. He was, how.
ever, at length knocked out, and Clark (one of the
eleven) taking the ball in hand, bowled out eight of the
Broughton and Manchester gentlemen consecutively
without scoring. The result was, that the provincial
side only scored .50, and the eleven won cleverly by 23
notches. The weather was remarkably fine, and the
numerous concourse of spectators (amongst whom were
many of the fair sex) were much enlivened by the excel-
lent band of the 28th regiment.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—On Wednesday the 28th of May, the Coroners'
Bill was fixed to be read a second time on the 25th of
June, and a Select Committee appointed " to consider
the state of the Law and Practice &c." A good deal
of attention appeared to be excited, in both directions.
I noted some especial bad reasoning on the side of the
assailants of the present state of things. They said.
when a man falls down suddenly in the harvest field and
dies from the visitation of God, what possible necessity
can there be to hold a coroner's inquest? Which in
other words is saying, when a man dies by the visita-
tion of God, what necessity for holding an inquest to
know whether he died by the visitation of God? The
very object in view all the time being, to know whether
he died from that cause, or from a blow given him in
jest or earnest by a brother reaper. A fair specimen of
Parliamentary begging the question.
On Thursday the House sat till three in the morning
on the Ceylon question. The decision introduces a new
element in English history. Martial law, which is at
the same time declared to be "no law," and is for the
first time discovered to be something distinct from the
Mutiny Act which is law, is to bo acknowledged as law,
and consequently a regime of " no law" is prepared for us
whenever those who are to make and unmake the law
shall please to have it to. This is the day of reactions;
Claverhouse, Feversham, Jeffreys, must have been
brought from their several prison-houses in triumph at
three .'eloelr on Friday morning, and declared 4. rehabi-
htated" men by a majority of eighty in the Whig Howe
of Commons. For the quarrel with them was never
anything else than on the disputed right to do discre-
tionary wrong, now settled in the case ot Ceylon for the
benefit of those it hereafter may concern.
On Friday the House in Committee got the length of
passing the first Clause of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.
It is still by no means certain, that there is not a re-
solution to demonstrate the necessity of some change in
the rules of L'arliament. It is a rule that minorities
shall be heard ; but it is also a rule or intended to be
so, that there shall be a power of determining questions
oy msjurities. Supposing it then to bo demonstrated,
that fifty men in au assembly of six hundred are able
by a prudent division of labour to put off the de-
cision of a question to a future generation, is it or is it
not apparent, that the existing machinery is insufficient,
and that either the power of Parliamentary determintie
tion must be given up, or the machinery be altered ?
The French Chambers have a provision on this head,
which they call the " cloture ;" consisting in the power
of determining by a majority, that the debate shall be
closed and a vote come to on the question. There is
no intention to conceal that it is an odious and unpo-
pular power, lying under grevious suspicion of being
opt nto tyreneicat and unjust exercise. But like moat
other questions, tis a question of balance. There may
be some state of things, in which the danger from the
exercise of the power is less than the danger from its
absence. It it should be proved, for instance, to the
French General at Rome or anywhere else, that
he has an open door to attack the Constitution and
laws of England, and has assistanceoisteinnogugh instate
Englsnd to prevent it under the x
of things from being shut,—

Papal movement was portion of a
general system for the advancement of the objects of the
despotic powers. Yet at the beginning of the session
the House was told by a prophet ot their own, that " the
restrictions imposed upon the Catholic Church in his
dominions by the infidel Joseph II." had been removed
by the present Emperor, who " finding that the Ca-
tholic Church was the bond of order in the recent des-
