FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition complaining of
the way in which this bill proposed the winding up of
friendly societies. The noble lord entered at some length
into the manner inwhichthe bill had been hurried through
Parliament. The noble lord laid on the table 24 resolx.
tions who, he said ho had spoken of on a former occasion,
and which had the approval of the late Duke of Welling-
ton. He suggested that they ought to be considered and
agreed to.
THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW IN SCOTLAND.
45 47 In reply to the Marquis of BREADALBANE,
10 11

Earl DE GREY said it was quite true that her Majesty
intended to review the volunteers in Scotland on the
7th of August. The announcement in the newspapers was
quite official, and the same arrangements would be
observed as those of the review in Hyde-park. The diffe-
rent regiments that intended to be present would have to
forward notice of their intention to the War-office.

The Marquis of BREADALBANE asked the latest day
on which notices would be received.
EariDE GREY was understood to say the Ist of August.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH complained of the want of
official intimation to the Lords-Lieutenant.
Earl DE GREY said the reason that no official circular
was issued was that it was not wished for the volunteers to
imagine that they were to attend such review "by com-
mand." (Hear, hear.)

of Wellington had drawn ' the attention of this
country to the inefficient defence of this coun-
try, and unfortunately the appeal of that great
captain was not properly attended to, for there
is ant indisposition on the part of nations to apprehend
changes in their position when they have enjoyed a long
period of,security. Were not the circumstances of the times
threatening? (Hear, hear.) It was useless to deny it,
but the immediate danger was threatened from their power-
ful neighbour the Emperor of the French. (Hear, hear.)
They certainly had recently concluded a commercial treaty
with that sovereign. (Hear hear.) That treaty was not
a matter to be treated with levity. (Hear, hear.) Reci-
procal commerce no doubt formed ono of the strongest ties
between countries ; but notwithstanding this treaty, it
could not be confidently expected that a people of such
warlike disposition and tastes as the French would suddenly
so fully appreciate the advantages of commerce as to pre-
vent the recurrence of an outbreak of martial ardour, which
might lead to hostilities with this country. There were
600,000 troops in France, 400,000 of whom were ready for
service, and the remainder could shortly be brought into
action ; and France was endeavouring to excel this country
in the vastness of her naval preparations. No one could
pretend that these great military preparations were requi-
site for defence, for no one could suppose that there was any
intention on the part of any European power to invade France,
or attempt to dismember that empire. (Hear, hear.) Was
not England justified, therefore in placing herself in a
position of security against any sudden invasion which
from:her insular posttion, and presenting only a sea fron-
tier, she was so much exposed ? It was supposed that
England might be invaded in three ways. In the first place
it might be thought that she could be attacked with a view to
permanent occupation, but that he thought very few
Gould for an instant anticipate. Again, it might
be supposed that the metropolis might be attacked,
but he confessed that he thought the object that would be
aimed at would be the destruction of our arsenals, and if
that were accomplished they would be placed at the mercy
of France. The noble lord having adverted to the military
preparations in continental countries at the present, said it
would be culpable in the nation and treasonable in the
Government if efficient measures were not adopted for the
national defence.

(LEFT SPEA.KING.)

CITY AND WEST-END BETTING.-(THIS DAY.)

The attendance both in the City and West-End was very
meagre, the majority of both backers of horses and layers
having departed for " glorious Goodwood," where there
will, no doubt, be a great meeting notwithstanding the
seeming unpropitious state of the weather, for even if wet,
Goodwood will always be Goodwood, and the company is
sure to muster strong. The Goodwood Stakes was the
all-absorbing topic of not only conversation, but busi-
ness.

The Stewards' Cup engrossed considerable attention,
several animals being backed with great spirit. Maggiore
was decidedly the favourite, and would have been freely
supported at Bto 1, but the longest offer was 7to 1. 100
to 8 was freely offered, bar:the favourite. Man at -Arms,
Viroflay, Fort- a-Bras, Narcissus, Contadina, Zitella,
Sweetsauce, and Cynricus, had each their supporters. Viro-
flay, Fort-a-Bras, and Man-at-Arms, were each backed
at the close of business at 100 to 7. 100 to 6 was
taken about Narcissus, although at the commencement
100 to 3 could have been procured, but the odds gradually
dwindled down to the price above stated. Contadina,
Zitella, Sweetsauce, and Cynricus were backed respectively
at 25 to 1, but not to any very large amount.
The Goodwood Stakes betting created a great sensa-
tion. As little as 7to 2 was taken to a very large
amount about Satellite, so much so, indeed, that with
the bookmakers it was a case of "shut up," and even
the bookmakers themselves would in many instances rather
have been backers as far as the favourite was concerned.
Indeed, we have no doubt that before the telegraph hoists
the winner's name as little as 5 to 2 will have been
taken. Gridiron seemed at one time to have a tendency
to return to his old price, and 7 to 1 was taken so freely
that 6to 1 was the current offer. Bto 1 was offered about
Tocber, but he did not seem to have many supporters
at the price. Wallace was in some demand at 11 to
1, which was taken freely, so much so that at the break up
of the rooms 10 to 1 was the longest price obtainable.
Rattlebone went very bad in the market, as much as 100 to
8 went begging, and had he had any friends to have bol-
stered him up, another point, no doubt, might have been
procured. Claire and Flitch had each frieads at 20 to 1,
and Riseber was decidedly on the decline, 25 to 1 was
offered in many places, but met with no response.
For the Goodwood Cup Starke was in great demand ;
5 to 1 was no sooner offered than taken, and after 9 to 2
had been taken to some money, 4 to 1 was taken, at Which
price he loft off. Butterfly was backed at stol by her ad-
mirers, who were numerous. Gustave was backed at 6to
1 freely, but Dangu was in such bad reputo that all sorts of
prices were offered, varying from 10 to 1 to 20 to 1.
The St. Legor better was nominal in fact ; but a very
few bets came under our notice, and those of very little

moment.
