The Tagus brings 73 passengers, and on freight

The Tagus did not leave any foreign ship-of-v/1

arrived from Liverpool on the 18th, and the Bra

SPORTING NOTES.

vent of the all•exciting sporting event of the series'
Speculation daily becomes more significant, and its tee;
dency may be now clearly traced. The week
'
closed has witnessed many important "revolutions I-
the market. The Coroner was introduced again, Orli

out, whilst Vaudermulin has recovered from the derecdy
stration which, at the beginning of the week, aPPe,er,ll.

On tae motion of Mr. HAYTEII, a no w writ was

who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.
THE REFORMERS OF THE WORLD.
Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition from the re-
formers of the world signed by Mr. Robert Owen, whom
he looked upon as a well-intentioned man, prayinr, that
the views of the society might be adopted by the house
and the people for hastening the arrival of the mil-
lennium—(laughter)—and also another equally im-
pertinent and silly petition from the Investi-
gation Society at Sheffield, cemplaining that "the
Pienipotentiaries at Paris had exceeded their duty."
(Laughter.) If that was not plain speaking he did not
know what was, but as the petitions were both respect-
fully worded towards the house, he had no objection
to present them, although he differed from both.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

The ordinary weekly board meeting was held yesterday
in the Council Chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. Thwaites in the
chair. The financial statement showed a total general
balance of 144,3251. Is. 3d.
A deputation was introduced from the Board of Works
of the Strand district, and from the vestry of the parish of
St. Paul's, Covent-garden, on the subject of a new street
from Cranbourn-stroet, Leicester-square, to King-street,
Covent-garden. It was stated that the Duke of Bedford
was prepared to contribute 15,0001. towards the proposed
work, being one-half of its estimated cost. The memorial
was received and referred to the committee of works, to
whom so many documents of a similar nature have lately
been sent.

Mr. BURSLEM inquired whether the coninaitee of works
had any report iu preparation on the subjects referred to
them.

The CHAIRMAN intimate :l that before long the commit-
tee would lay such a report before the hoard.
Mr. Deputy HARRISON understood the committee were
only to report upon the particular plans and memorials
which the board had referred to them. He would now
therefore hand in the subjoined notice of motion, " That it
be referred to the works' committee to consider the pre-
sent state of the several communications to and in the me-
tropolis, and the best mode of improving the same, and
report thereon to this board."
Mr. LESLIE deeming that such a course tended to invest
committees with too much power, gave notice that he
would oppose the notice of motion of the deputy. (Hear.)
London, England, 1856-05-24

would b2lieve that part of the case. The assertion
that Palmer was a man in a ruined state
that he h;d made in his opening observations had been
fully established by the evidence of the bills, to the
amiunt of 19,0001., in the hands of Pratt, the whole of
which bills are forgeries. The prisoner was told that
he must be prepared to meet those bills, and the pri-
soner was t .Id by Pratt he could grant no further de-
lay. Palmer sends up 8001., and he is told lie must do a
great deal more, and he is informed that writs will be issued
by which all those forgeries will be discovered. A short
time is granted. Polestar wins a race, andiCook over
joyed at the result thinks that he will be enabled to live
happily through the winter. But he little thought of
what was about to occur. Polestar winning that race
was one of the most unfortunate events that ever oc-
warred to him, for by that means he became possessed
of a large sum of money. Pratt at this time was
pressing his money and the fear of the writs would
therefore furnish the motive for Cook's death.
The learned gentleman then went into a detailed state-
ment of the dealings with Pratt and Palmer, and all the
circumstances connected with the postmaster's (Che-
shire) refusal to sign the name of the deeeased to a
certain paper, and contended that the whole of
the transactions bore the appearance of fraud.
The Attorney-General then reviewed the other features
of the case, arimadverting upon the improbable
nature of the defence, and at the conclusion of his
speech the Court adjourned till Monday morning, when
the Lord Chief Justice will sum up the evidence in this
memorable case.
London, England, 1856-05-24

NEW WRIT.

On• the motion of Mr. HATTER, a new writ was
ordered for Lichfield, in the room of Lord Waterpark,

THE REFORNIERS OF THE WORLD.
Mr. ROEI3IIOK presented a petition from the re-
formers of the world signed by Mr. Robert Owen, whom
he looked upon as a well-intentioned man, praying that
the views of the society might be adopted by the house
and the people for hastening the arrival of the mil-
tennium--(laughter)—and also another equally im-
pertinent and silly petition from the Investi-
gation Society at Sheffield, complaining that "the
-Plenipotentiar;es at Paris had er-ceeded their duty."
(Laughter.) If that was not plain speaking he did not
know what ww, but as the petitions were both respect-
`oily worded towards the house, he had no objection
to present theM, Although he differed from both.

movements in the turf market, as usual, mat* the ad'
vent of the all•exciting sporting event of the seaseo•

out, whilst Vaudermulia has recovered from tb e demon-
stration which, at the beginning of the week, viopesredi
likely to drive him completely out of the market. Arti;`;
lery, too, has been steadily supported, and he
likely to be an improving favourite down to the

however, are undismayed, and have confide* ice i°

ODESSA.

A letter from Odessa of the 7th, in Spener's Ga-

About 100 foreign vessels are at
this moment in our port. The flags of most of the
maritime nations of Europe are to be seen here ;
amongst others, two French ships aro in the inte-
rior of the port. The Austrian mercantile navy
is only represented by three vessels, in consequence
of the notice emanating from the consul-general at
Odessa, to the effect that no cargoes of sufficient
importance could be procured there. The ship-
owners of other nations, who were not made ac-
quainted with this state of things, and who had
at once despatched their vessels to our port, will
have cause to regret this haste, for not only will
they obtain no return cargoes, but the cargoes of
wine, rum, and sugar brought by their vessels will
prove of little value, owing to the overstocked
state of our market:"

THAMES REGATTA CLUB.

Gentlemen who take an interest in the prosperity of
Thum s rowing-me:s and its sports will be gratified to
learn that a t a dinner which took place at the Freemasons'
Tavern on Thursday night, under the auspices of Mr.
Philips, late hon, secretary of the Cambridge University
Subscription-rooms Club, Mr. J. Nottidge, and other
leading gentlemen connected with aquatics, a club of the
abov6 title, upon the model of the Royal Thames Yacht

Club, was duly formed. It has for its object the ga•
thering together gentlemen desirous of supporting river
pastimes, for the relief of distressed persons connected
with river pursuits, and other objects calculated to pro-
mote the well-being of that class of the community, am!
to servo as a stimulant to honest emn'ation and c)mpe-
tition. Mr. Reynolds, of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and
about 30 other gentlemen having enrolled their names
as members, the club adjourned. The code of laws and
amount of entrance and subscription will insure the re-
spectability of the body, and the thanks of the rowing
community are due to Mr. Nottidge for his exertions in
the matter.

King; William IV. to make his affirmation itistead.of the oath
of abjuration and assurance shall, in lieu of the oath herebY
substituted, and of the affirmation contained in the last-men-
tioned act, make his solemn affirmation in the following
WordS, that is to say : "1, A B, being one of the people
called Quakers (or oue of the persuasion of the people called

Agreed to.

Mr. MURROUGH moved for a select committee to
inquire into the mode in which the persons now holding

have been appointed, and into the operation of the Stamp
Act 55 Geo. 111., c. 104, so far as it aftect3 appoint-
