BETTING AT MANCHESTER.--TUESDAY.

The little doing on Goodwood Stakes to-day exhibited a
marked change from yesterday ; then offers of 9 to 1 were
plentiful against Gridiron, to-day the highest offer on the
field was 6 to 1. Tocher was backed at Bto 1, and Satel-
lite was supported at the same price. 10 to 1 was taken
about Avalanche. There was but very little doing, the
races of Nottingham occupying th 3 principal place in the
day's proceedings. Closing prices :

HIGHWAYS (SOUTH WALES) BILL. •
. On the motion of Viscount EMLYN, the house went
into committee on this bill.
The classes to 18 inclusive were agreed to ; and the re-
maining clauses, with several amendments, were also agreed
to.

The CHAIRMAN reported prJgress, and the house
resumed.

• ' No. ) .
Mr. C ETT, inCORONERS movin(g the 3 secßlLLond reading of this
bill, said tFat he hoped hon. members would accede to his
proposition, and also allow the bill to be committed pro
.forma, when he would move some amendments. The com-
mittee who had sat on this question recommended that
coroners should be paid by salary instead of fees, for which
his bill provided. The chief circumstance which had
prompted him to bring forward this question wa, the great
increase of the crime of infanticide, which he considered
the inquisition of a coroner was calculated to arrest.
He had seen a great deal of the effects produced
by the coroners' court in checking other descriptions of
murder. He considered that a coroner and his jury were
the best possible courts from their knowledge of the loca-
lity where a murder was committed; and he believed their
abolition would be a great injury, and that would be the
result if other counties followed the practice of Durham
and other places, The magistrates in these latter counties
had refused coroners their fees on Ihe ground of the in-
, crease in the number of inquests of late years. But this
increase did not arise from malversation of funds or any
misconduct on the part of coroners, but entirely to acts of
legislation. In 1836 an act was passed giving coroners
power to hold post-mortem examinations, which had been
the means of bringing to light some of the foulest murders
that had ever been committed. The Legislature had also
passed the Inquisition Act, and the coroner was obliged to
pay the surgeon who inspected a dead body £2 2s. ; a sur-
geon who attended as witness, £1 ls. ; and consequently
his expenses were increased. Having mentioned several
cases of death of a suspicious character in which coroners
refused to hold inquests because they had no security of
receiving their fees, he concluded by again appealing to the
house to read the bill a second time.
Mr. DEEDES seconded the motion, but expected that
there would be some amendments agreed to in committee.
Sir G. LEWIS said that all persons were agreed that
the disputes between magistrates and coroners in reference
to the question should receive a satisfactory solution.
Having adverted to his own bill on the subject by which
he proposed that matters of differences should be adjudi-
cated on by the Court of Queen's Bench, he said the pre-
sent bill was in accordance with the recommendation of the
Select Committee to whom the question had been referred.
He did certainly entertain some doubts as to the
advantages that would accrue from the payment
of coroners by salaries. However, he had no objection to
the bill being passed provided it was made harmonious with
the whole system, and he thought some power should be
given to the Crown to discharge a coroner when unfitted
for, or neglectful of, his duties. He considered also that
the election of coroners should be transferred from the free-
holders to the Lord-Lieutenants of counties.
Lord H. VANE supported the bill, but objected to the
change in the parties electing coroners.
Mr. E. JAMES entertained the same opinion as the
noble lord, but had no objection to the Lord Chancellor
having power to remove an incompetent coroner.
Mr PHILIPS and Mr. PARRER expressed themselves to
the same effect.

Mr. W. SMITH also objected to the transfer of authority
in the election of coroners, but he ud-....itted that the present
system required amendment, as it enabled many fictitious
votes to be recorded, and the election could only be set aside
by a quo warranto of the Court of Queen's Bench.
They would have a very largo constituency it they
authorised freeholders on the Parliamentary register to
elect a coroner, which would only exclude the 40s. free-
holders.

After a few words from Mr. J. Locke, Dr. Brady, Sir
W. Miles, Captain Stewart, Mr. Ridley, and Mr. Humber-
stone, the bill was read a second time, and committed pro

DUCHY. OF CORNWALL (LIMITATION OF
ACTIONS) BILL.
The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and
agreed to.

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT
AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL.
The adjourned debate on the motion for going into com-
mittee on. this bill, to which an amendment had been pro-
posed, to the effect the.t this house should resolve itself
into committee, upon this day three months, was resumed by
Mr. STA.WILA.ND, who said that he objected to the bill
having a retrospective effect, and its enabling vestries
to appear in support or opposition of any bill
brought before this house affecting local interests. He
contended that if vestries possessed the power provided for
by this bill it would lead to expense and endless contests
before committees of the house, to the protraction of the
session and the detriment of public business. He con-
cluded by supporting the amendment.
Mr. E. JAMES supported the bill, and contended that
the opposition to it emanated from the gas companies of
the metropolis. He thought it most unjust to prevent the
local authorities who were the popular representatives,
from resisting any attempt on the part of gas companies to
pass bills through Parliament deeply affecting their local
interests.

Sir F. GOLDSMID opposed the bill on the ground of
its retrospective operation, as well as from other causes.
Mr. J. LOCKE supported the bill, and could not see why
parishioners should not have a right to defend themselves
against the monopoly of gas companies who bad large sums
of money at their disposal. He thought this was a very
simple question, and was limited to the metropolis, and did
not affect any other town or district in the kingdom. What
the supporters of the measure required was to prevent their
being taxed heavily against their wish in regard to gas com-
panies, who, as was the case during the present session, by
protracted proceedings before a Parliamentary committee,
could incur heavy expanses, which they would take out of
the pockets of the parishioners.
Sir G. LEWIS said that the question involved in this
bill arose from the peculiar state of the metropolis with re-
spect to municipal institutions. He had been reproached
with not hsving brought on the Corporation Reform
Bill, and it was much against his inclinations that he
was compelled to postpone that measure. During the
debate that had taken place it had been proposed that the
whole metropolis should be embraced in one municipal
corporation. Since then a question had been raised as to
whether it would not be desirable to abolish the Corpora-
tion of London altogether—(bear, hear)—and distribute its
revenues over the whole metropolis. He maintained the
opinion that had been expressed by the committee on the
London Corporation Bill, that the metropolis could not be
made into one municipality. He believed that opinion to be
correct, for considering the magnitude and the different
interests of the respective districts of the metropolis, it
would be quite impossible they could be adequately repre-
sented in one town council. Ho certainly thought the present
system required alteration. The towns in the country,under
their municipal powers, had authority to appear before Par-
liament to resist any bill affecting their local interests, and
to obtain the money for that purpose out of the borough
funds. Now, he did not see why a parish of such extent
as Marylebone, or other parishes of the metropolis, should
not have the same privilege. He would therefore support
the motion for going into committee, but he thought the
bill required some amendment.
_

After some further discussion the house divided, when
here appeared—
For going into committee
Against
Majority
The house then went into committee.
Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to.
On clause 3,

Sir G. LEWIS said that this clause required amend
ment, as the powers it proposed to confer on vestries were
too extensive, and drew the attention of the house to it in
order that some member who was opposed to the provisions
of the bill might propose an amendment.
Mr. T. MILLER suggested that the clause should be
postponed.
Mr. SPOONER proposed the insertion of the words
" with consent of the ratepayers in public meeting as-
sembled," which he thought would have the effeot of im-
posing the necessary restriction on vestries.
Sir G. LEWIS considered that it would be advisable to
make the consent of the Metropolitan. Board of Works in-
dispensable in regard either to promoting or opposing local
bills. He had a communication with the chairman of
that board who thought that this veto should be sufficient
in securing the necessary restraint. He (Sir G. Lewis)
considered also that nn expanses should be paid without the
consent of the Metropolitan Board, or a certificate from the
Parliamentary committee before whom the bill was heard,
that the expenses were properly incurred.
After some discussion,
Mr. AYRTON moved the insertion of the words " with
the sanction of the Metropolitan Board of Works," which
he stated would meet the views of the right hon. bart. (Sir
G. Lewis) and other members who agreed with him.
Mr. CHILDERS opposed the amendment on the ground
that it would•lead to an antagonism between the Metropo-
litan Board Of Works and the local board, and he thought
that the local authorities should be reimbursed only when
there was a certificate from the committee that they were
justly incurred.
Sir G. C. LEWIS and Sir J. SHELLEY supported the
amendment.
The resolution, as amended, was agreed to, as well as
clause 4.
On clause 5,_ _

Mr. CLAY moved the omission of certain words, and the
substitution of others to the effect that a special rate be
levied to defray the expenses of parliamentary proceedings.
The house divided. Motion that the words proposed to
be omitted stand part of the bill—
Ayes
Noes. .. .....
....................
Majority
Mr. CHILDERS moved the addition of words, to the
effect that no expenses should be allowed unless when the
chairman of the Parliamentary committee certified to the
reasonableness of such expenses.
Sir G. C. LEWIS had no objection to the introduction
of the words, but he considered them unnecessary, as the
committee would decide in Ii97ZZ whether a party had a
locus standi, g
which would be equivalent to determining
whether they were entitled to appear for or against a
bill.
Mr. CHILDERS said that the decision as to the mere
locus standi of parties was purely technical.
After some discussion the clause was agreed to, and the
bill passed through committee..
