gallop a blt when he is wanted. Rays Handicap.—Act ea

Watteau, Perditi, Witless, Buccaneer filly, Elsham, King
of Trumps filly, Scarbro', Cape` Flyaway filly, and Sim-
plon. They are all looking in the best of health, and
going well. Provider at one time showed a bit of temper,
bat ho is very quiet now, and I expect to see him win
some good races this year who„ his back.
Young Fenton also looks and goes well, and I would
advise your subscribers to follow this horse whenever ho
runs, as he will be sure to pay them for their trouble.

RATES OF FREIGHT AND CHARTER.

(From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.)

The tonnage loading on the berth for India, China, and
the Cape of Good Hope amounts to 62,073 tons, and for
Australia and New Zealand to 68,920 tons.

Berth freights are unchanged, and there is not much
animation in shipments.
There b as been no perceptible change during the past week
in coal rates for the Eastern ports. The inquiries are still
very limited ; but as there seems to be a steady decrease
month by month in the shipments, it is, perhaps, not too
much to hope that an improvement may before long set
in. Homeward rates are also low, and there is little doing
in chartering on this side just now.

A good-sized vessel can be placed for Callao at 245., but
rates generally for the West Coast are weaker. For Mel-
londo 30s. to 325. Gd. is offered for iron. From the Guano
Islands 60s. is obtainable for Mauritius, and from $l7 to
$l3 for Spain—the latter only fot forward vessels.
There is very little eking in iron to the United States,
and the parcels at present iu the market are only suffi-
cient for small ships. 4s. Gd. per qr. wheat or petroleum
is offered from New York to United Kingdom, and ss.
from Montreal.

In Brazil and West Indian Freights there is nothing
new to notice. Tonnage is still wanted for St. Thomas
and Havana. There is same inouiry for Monte Video
at 28s.

The Mediterranean and Black Sea Coal Freights exhibit
a slight improvement, more especially those for the
Italian ports. A steamer is wanted for Trieste from Hull,
at 2s. per ton rails. There is, if anything, more anima-
tion in grain chartering, the most noticeable feature in
which is the increased inquiry for tonnage from the
',Danube.

Miss Rye took out another batch of emigrants-130
in all—on Thursday, in the screw steamer Austrian, bound
from Liverpool for Quebec. There were about 100 single
women, eight families,, and eight single men. The women
were principally domestic servants.

A town's meeting was held at Glossop, on Thurs-
day, to petition in favour of the Sunday School Rating
Exemption Bill, and at their monthly meeting, on Wed-
nesday, the Town Council of Chester ordered that the cor-
poLate seal should be affixed to a similar petition.
The paper mill of Messrs. Hamilton and Co., Glas-
gow, at Ballyclare, was totally destroyed by fire on Thursday.
The stock, machinery, and buildings, of the value of up-
wards of £20,000, were consumed. The establishment
was a most prosperous one, being worked both day and
night.

The lVeeLly Register says that the only Irish
Roman Catholic peor present at the Duke of Marlborough's
on Saturday was Lord Gormanstown, and he, it is said,
"unhesitatingly throw in his lot with the enemies of his
faith." The Register believes that he will prove a solitary

exception.
Major-General Haynes, as be chose to call himself,
or (as his real name is) John Walter M'Alpine, who com-
mitted bigamy for the sake of the money of a Miss Lee, to
whom he was united on the second occasion, was on Thursday
committed for trial by the alderman sitting at the Mansion-
house, on a charge of bigamy and fraud.
THE REJECTION OF THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.
—Various rumours are afloat as to the crisis. Among
other things, it is stated that Ministers now anticipate the
rejection of the Irish Church Bill by the Lords on the
second reading. It is also said that preparations for the
prorogation of Parliament have already commenced.
Mr. Noel, the Conservative "whip," has given
notice that on Monday next he intends to move for a new
writ for the City of Dublin, in the room of Sir Arthur Guin-
ness, who was unseated. It is stated that the issue of the
writ will be opposed by the Government until the bill
for the disfranchisement of the freemen has been accepted
or rejected.

A London correspondent sets down the debts of
the Duke of Nowcastle at .£400,C00. Perhaps (it is added)
not more than £60,000 of this is hard cash. Tho rests re-
presents bills, commission, and other species of accommo-
dation. The Duke married a Miss Hope, whose dowry was
an estate of £lO,OOO a year, settled on herself ; and on the
death of her mother she will probably come into a fortuno
of a million and a half. Mrs. Hope has offered to pay ss. in
the pound if that will effect a complete clearance.

At a special meeting of the executive committee of
the Lancashire Reform League, held in Manchester on
Thursday, it was moved by Mr. Edward Ifooson, seconded by
Mr. Richard Barker, and carried unanimously—" That in the
event of the Irish Church Bill being rejected by the House
of Lords, it is expedient that immediate steps be taken to
reorganise the Reform League, and to agitate for such an
organic change it the constitution of the hereditary branch
of the Legislature as shall bring it into conformity wi.h the
spirit of the age, and render it impossible that by its indi-
vidual action the expressed will of the people on a distinct
appeal shall be rendered abortive.
A disagreement has arisen between the Recorder
and the magistrates of Liverpool. The former thinks
that five sessions in the year for the ttial of prisoners
aro sufficient, and that to hold them oftener cceasions
inconvenience to the bar and to the juries. no ma-
gistrates thick there ought to be no less than eight,
and there have been as many as ten and they say
that to hold only five is to inflict a great har3ship on
innocent prisoners; and as the Recorder is determined to
carry out his view of the matter the magistrates have issled
a remonstrance. This he disregards, and the visiting justices
recommended the borough justices, who held a meeting
ou Thursday, to communicate with the Home Secretary on
the subject. Before taking that course the magistrates have
"respectfully requested the Recorder to re-consider his de-
C 10012."
