that the house would support the grant, on the same pin- '
ciple that the Maynooth grant was agreed to.
Mr. CONOLLY expressed his readiness to withdraw that
part of his amenduaant which referred to allocation of the
grant, but intimated that lie would, on a future occasion,
bring in a bill on the subject, and bring the question to a
final decision.

The amendment was then put and negatived without a
division.

The house then divided upon the original motion, when
Lhe numbers were—

COUNTY CORONERS.

Mr. COBBETT moved for leave to bring in a bill to
amend the law relating to the election, the duties, and
mode of pay of coroners. A committee had sat upon the
subject, and examined it in all its bearings, and it was

their opinion that a bill of this description should be
brought in. It was not his intention at that stage to
trouble the house by going into the details of the measure,
but it contained six provisions, founded principally on their
recommendations. In the clause respecting jurors indif-
ferently summoned, he found there would be a difficulty in
adhering to the views of the committee, and he therefore
altered it. That, however, could be altered or modified

when the bill went into commitee. The right hon. gentle-
man the Secretary of State for the Home Department had a
bill on the paper referring to the same subject, and he
(Mr. Cobbett) wished both bills to be set down for discus-
sion on the same day.
Sir G. C. LEWIS had no objection to the bill of the hon.
and learned gentleman being introduced, and should place
his bill on the orders the same day for discussion. He was,
however, no convert to the proposed recommendation of
paying coroners by salary instead of fees.
Leave was then given to bring in the bill.
GUNBOATS.

Sir F. SMITH moved for the appointment of a select
committee to inquire into the cause which produced so
much damage to the gunboats at Portsnl:,:l.ll. ho Go-
vernment, he believed, did 1-v!- iii end to oppose his mo-
tion, but after what had (;,;aired, and especially the publi-
cation of Messrs. Greeit's letter, it was necessary he should
make a few (1,,,.21 vations.
The hon. and gallant officer was proceeding with his
statement when an hon. member moved that the house be
counted, and there being but 29 members present, the
house adjourned at a quarter past seven o'clock.

Desmond ; 10 to 1 each agat Precursor and Nana Sahib.
On assembling at the post, King of Diamonds, Nana
Sahib, and Sparrowhawk broke away, and after three other
attempts to get them together, the " King" being always
impatient to get off in the front rank, the signal was given
for an admirable start. Precursor showed in advance, but
the horses had scarcely settled into their stride when Des-
mond took up the running, followed in the order named by
Tyrant, Eskdale, and King of Diamonds, M. Phillipe and
Clydesdale lying off. Desmond held his lead until round-
ing the Tattenham turn, where Gaspard showed with the
leaders, and both Gallus and Clydesdale began to creep
forward. At the distance the three placed separated
themselves from the ruck, and ran a very exciting race
home. Gallus, swerving from the middle to the lower
side of the course, and getting up in the last stride, beat
Clydesdale, whom all people, until the number went up,
thought had won, by a head; a neck separating the second
from the third; Eskdale was a bad fourth, and close up to
him were Precursor, Tyrant, and M. Phillipe. The Flutter
colt was beaten off some distance.
