GOODWOOD SETTLING, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Considering the heavy amount that has to be
transferred by the list-houses, the Goodwood settling up
to the present time has been of a most satisfactory nature,
not one of the leading bettors having been found in
default; some few of the small fry are non est as usual.
The betting this morning on a few events is uncommonly
brisk, at the following prices:—Pavilion Stakes-2 to 1
on Freedom. Marine Stakes-6 to 4 each agat Freedom
and Harbinger, 4to 1 agst any other. Brighton Stakes
—5 to 1 agst Backbiter, 5 to 1 agst Narcissus, 5 to 1 agst
Grand Duke, 6 to 1 agst Westow, 6 to 1 agst Ingrati-
tude, 20 to 1 agst Edipus. Brighton Cup-6 to 4on
the field. Ebor Handicap-6 to 1 agst Haricot, 10 to 1
ags:. Backbiter; offers to lay against Nancy, but no price
transpired. Great Yorkshire Stakes-3 to 1 each agat
Nancy and Marlborough Buck, 6 to 1 agst Neasham.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his'seat on the Woolsack
at Five o'clock.
CLIANCERY REFORM.
The Earl of HARRINGTON moved for certain
papers relating to reform in the Court of Chancery. The
Noble Earl in the course of his speech contended that
the granting of law reform was absolutely necessary, not
only for the advantage of the suitors, but as a compen-
sation for the repeal of the corn-laws.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE reminded the Noble
Earl that according to the rules of that 1101180 he could
not bring forward his motion without notice.
The Earl of HARRINGTON gave notice that he
would move for the papers to-morrow.
The Duke of RICHMOND complained that a Bill
which had been sent down to the House of Commons
for doing away with a sinecure office had not been pro-
ceeded with, although three months had elapsed since it
had been sent down.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNEpresent

Messengers from the House of Commons brought up
numerous Bills, which were respectively read a first

time.
Earl FORTESCTJE presented a petition from Honi-
for the retention of the Crystal Palace.
ton, praying
Lard BEAUMONT presented several petitions from
Yorkshire with a similar prayer.
The Earl of MALMESBURY presented several
petitions with a similar prayer, but he thought that if
any agreement had been entered into for its removal it
ought to be removed. He saw nothing in the architec-
tural character of it to call for its retention, and he
could not see what interest persons residing in the
coantry could have in its retention. Also a petition
from Worthing praying that that town might not be in-
cluded in the Health of Towns Bill. He thought it
would be advisable that the town of Worthing should
be excluded from the operation of the Health of Towns
Bill.
The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from
certain inhabitants of Worthing, stating that the drainage
was most defective, that the smells and odours left upon
the beach in consequence of the defective drainage were
most offensive, and praying that Worthing might be in-
cluded in the Bill.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said that the majority
of the rate-payers were against the Health of Towns Bill.
After a few words from the Earl of SHAFTESBURY and
Lord FOLEY,
Lord BEAUMONT said he was sorry to see that the
Board of Health was adopting a course which rendered
them generally unpopular. They ought to come forward
with a general Bill instead of adopting a bit-by-bit legis-
lation.
The Earl of CARLISLE explained.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that it was no
fault of the Board of Health that the system had been
adopted of which the Noble Lord complained.
(LEFT SPEARING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve
o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were
considered and agreed to:—
Hove Improvement.
Lincolnshire Estuary.
Waterford and Kilkenny Railway.
Lord Bateman's Estate Bill was read a third time and
passed.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
An HON. MErosEn. presented a petition from Poole,
praying that the Crystal Palace might be retained as a
wioter garden.
Lord J. RUSSELL appeared at the bar and brought
up the reply of her Majesty in answer to an address
of the House, praying that she might be gra-
ciously pleased to direct that the Crystal Palace
be preserved until the Ist of May next. The reply
was to the effect that it was necessary to consider care-
fully the engagements of the Royal Commissioners, and
that her Majesty had directed an inquiry to be made
into various matters of detail which must be ascertained
before any decision could be come to.—(Bear, hear.)
GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (No. 4) BILL.
This Bill, after clause 9 had been struck out, was read
a third time and passed.
CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION BILL.
This Bill was read a third time and passed.
DUCHY OF LANCASTER BILL.

This Bill as amended was agreed to, and ordered to
be rerd a third time to-morrow.
PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL.
On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Mr. HENRY moved that the committal be postponed
until to-morrow, to give the public an opportunity of
considering the amendments that had been introduced
into it.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was afraid the post-
ponement would be fatal to the Bill, and he therefore
hoped the motion would not be persevered in.
After a few words from BROTHERTON,
Mr. J. P. WESTHEAD said he had carefully exa-
mined the provisions of the Bill, and he thought the
measure was an exceedingly good one. He trusted the
motion for postponement w ould be withdrawn.
Mr. GREENE declared that the Bill was defective in
many of its datails, ard it was most unfair to press it
forward in this way at the eleventh hour. The question
of costs was not the only evil which the public com-
plained of in this case. The six months' right of speci-
fication was a far greater evil, but the Bill took no notice
of that, and he hoped the House would not allow it to
pass until it did. The Society of Arts, after a diligent
inquiry, had made an able report upon this subject, and
any legislation to be satisfactory to the public should
be founded upon the recommendations which that report
contained. Believing this Bill to be an interference with
the privileges of inventor., he should feel it his duty
to give the Bill all the opposition in his power.
Mr. LABOUCHERE acknowledged the subject to be
one of great importance and intricacy, but he thought
it had been sufficiently discussed on the second reading
of the Bill. It had been acknowledged by all scientific
men acquainted with the subject, to be a Bill calculated
to work a great improvement.
Mr. RICARDO said he did not think the House and
the country had not time to consider the Bill, and he
urged upon the Government the necessity of granting a
Committee in the next session to inquire into the whole
subject of patent laws.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS complained of the conduct of
the Government in forcing upon the House the consi-
deration of a Bill of 54 classes in the last three or four
days of the session, when the majority of Honourable
Members had left town.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he was asto-
nished that the Hon. Member for Lambeth should object
to the passing of a Bill, the object of which was to
cheapen the taking out of patents to an immense extent.
Mr. MUNTZ did not approve of all the provisions of
the Bill, but he should support it as it was, rather than
ha" hone at all. That was the opinion of his eon.
