IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Hay Railway Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Caithness Roads Bill, and Manchester and Melford
Railway Bills were considered, and ordered for third
reading.

PETITIONS.
Several petitions were presented against the Metropolitan
Local Management Act; against the Sunday Trading Bill;
against the provision in the Census Bill, by which persons
making returns should be required to state their religious
profession, &c., &c,
ANNUITY TAX ABOLITION (EDINBURGH)
BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
The LORD ADVOCATE suggested that five other
Scotch bills on the paper should be referred to the same
committee, who should report to the house at six o'clock.
Mr. STIRLING wished to know when the learned Lord-
Advocate intended to proceed with the Titles to Land
(Scotland) Act, and whether he would give a week's notice
before proceeding with it ?
The LORD-ADVOCATE said he could not give any
such notice as that required by the hon. member, and he
proposed to proceed with the bills as soon as possible.
Mr. HADFIELD objected to the complaints which had
been made in some places in reference to English members
taking a part in the discussion of Scotch bills. (" No, no,"
from the Scotch members.) With respect to the bill, peti-
tions against the Annuity-Tax Bill had been signed by
no less than 15,000 or 16,000 inhabitants of Edinburgh,
and he considered the measure one of the worst that had
ever been introduced on the subject. He objected to the
bill that it partook of a political character, as well as being
oppressive to the religious convictions of a large number.
He was much surprised that the hon. member, and other
hon. members, should have supported it in the face of such
petitions as those to which he adverted. He contended
that the effect of the bill would be to create apathy and
indifference in regard to religion in Edinburgh. •
The motion was then agreed to, and the house went into
committee on the bill.

Clause 1 was agreed to, with some amendments.

On clause 5, -
Mr. BLACK BURN proposed an amendment, vesting
the property of the local churches in Edinburgh as well as
their administration.

Mr. BLACK strongly objected to the amendment, on
he ground that it would deprive the inhabitants of pro-
perty which they themselves acquired.
The LORD ADVOCATE also opposed the amendment.
Mr. MURE considered it absurd to suppose that the
commission in their management would deteriorate the
value of property.
The house then divided, and the numbers were—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority —3B
The clause was agreed to.
On clause 6, an amendment was proposed, the object of
which was to have one• tenth of the sittings reserved as free
sittings.
After a short discussion, the amendment was agreed to.
Alterations for the purpose of securing the rights of the
Town Council in reference to their seats were also (agreed
61f Ito

Mr. BLACKURN moved an amendment to the effect
that the sum proposed by the bill to be paid to clergymen
should be raised from £4,200 to £5,000 a-year.
The LORD ADVOCATE said that the amendment
went so deeply to the root of the principle of the bill that he
could not assent to it. It was originally proposed to make
an allowance annually for thirteen ministers for 30 years.
[LEFT SPEAKING.]

THE BATH.

Her Majesty the Queen held an Investiture of the Most

SPORTING NOTES.

There are two very good meetings to be cele-
brated this week—the one at Hampton and' the
other at Newton. The opening day at Hampton
has but five items, whilst there are seven set down
for Thursday.

The Claremont Stakes of 10 sons each, h ft, with
50 added, for two year olds, ought to be credited to
the account of Lord Stamford by the aid of Little
Lady or Lava.

There are but sixteen left in the Surrey and
Middlesex Stakes, two miles, and, with one
or two exceptions, they are a moderate lot.
Conscript holds the majority of the horses safe
by his running at Ascot, and I expect to see him
win easily, Kinnersly and Claire taking my fancy
next.

For the Stand Plate Lady Peel and Codicil look
well, but not knowing anything of their owners'
intentions, I would advise them to be let alone.
The Great Newton Handicap, one mile and a
half, has 200 sovs added, which is certain to tempt
a large field to contest it out of the forty-nine
weighted. The starters will probably number
fourteen or sixteen. Duneany, Bst 121 b,
Bst 21b, The Argosy, Bst 11b, Master Begot, 7st
81b, Maid of the Mist, 7st 41b, Cheesecake, Gst 41b,
Moorcock, Gst 41b, Trovatore, Est 21b, Eltham
Beauty, Est 11b, the filly by Prime Minister, out of
Butterfly, sst 131 b, Professor Dick, sst 131 b, The
Swift, sst 81b, Be Quick, sst 41b, and Ladybird, sst
41b, are all reported as fit to run for their engage-
ments. I fancy Rising Sun, Cheesecake, the filly
by "'time Minister out of Butterfly, and Red Eagle
in the order named.

Jack Spring ought to beat Ripon for the Trial
Handicap.

In the Makerfield Plate I cannot see anything to
recommend before Miss Julia, though she may find
some trouble to dispose of Lansquenet.
The principal race on Thursday is the Gold
Cup, for which thirty-five horses are entered,
among which Rameses and the Butterfly filly are
so well in that I anticipate the success of either,
though they may find a dangerous opponent in one
of Mr. Dawson's, Professor Dick, perhaps.
The Visitors' Plate must fall to Cheesecake, and
the Garswood Handicap to either Zenobia or
Horace—the latter for choice.

The Golborne Park Stakes, half a mile, has
eighteen two yr olds, most of whom have run in
public. Lady Clifden, Folkestone, and Ladybird
are the best of these, and one of them ought to
prove victorious.

The Lyme Park Stakes, five furlongs, for two
year olds, will be affected by the running for the
Golborne Park Stakes, there being a good many
engaged in each. As it stands at present, I shall
vote for Lady Clifden or Lady Bird.
The Manor Plate, five furlongs, may find Brandy
Ball not far from the mark, if the severe work he
has lately undergone has not worn him out, the
next best being Eleanor.

CITY BETTING-(YESTERDAY).

The Racing Times says :—There was a large attendance
at all the places where bookmakers most do congregate, but
there was very little business done on future events, with
the exception of the Northumberland Plate. The time was
principally occupied in discussing the past Ascot week, and
settling its accounts. The meeting at Hampton was touched,
and so were the races at Newton, but speculation was very
languid.
For the events to be decided at Hampton, the principal
attraction was the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, for
which the Farmer's Daughter colt was to all intents and
purposes the favourite ; as little as 6 to 4 was taken after
two's to one had been greedily taken up. Claire and Kin-
, nersley had both supporters, and indeed these were the only
other animals who were trusted with much money.
For the Cramond Stakes 6 to 4 and afterwards 5 to 4 was
laid on Little Lady, and with this exception 4 to 1 was cur-
rently reported.

. _
Newton being the only other meeting in the ensuing
week, and being so far from home, did not engross much
attention. _

For the Trial Stakes Ripon was backed at prices varying
from 2 to 1 to 6 to 4.
For the Great Newton Handicap Baronet was the only
animal who seemed to be fancied by the fraternity of
backers. They supported him at 10 to 1 ; shortly after-
wards 7 to 1 was taken, and ho eventually left off at 5 to 1
(offered).
For the Northumberland Plate, Ben Webster was the
favourite at 5 to 1 (t) ; bar Ben Webster, 7 to 1 could have
been obtained about any other. 8 to 1 was taken about
Butterfly. Gladiolus was backed at the commencement of
the morning at 10 to 1; then 8 to 1 was taken ; and at the
break-ap of the Rooms 7 to 1 was the highest offer. Wild-
man was the only other in the race that was backed for any
money, his price being 10 to 1 at the close.
The St. Leger betting was somewhat slack ; 3 to
1 was currently offered on the field, and 4 to
1 would have been taken about Wizard or Thormanby.
There were several inquiries after Buccaneer, and 12 to 1,
although offered, was not accepted. The following list of
quotations will be sufficient.
