METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

A fair average supply of beasts, both as to number and
quality, was on offer in to• day's market. All breeds met a
slow :inquiry; nevertheless, compared with Monday, no
change took place in the quotations. The show of sheep
was moderate, and the mutton trade ruled inactive, at the
late advance in prices. Prime small calves sold readily—
other descriptions of veal slowly, on former terms. Pigs
were in fair request; but mulch cows were very dull.

IMPERIAL PARLIAM ENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(Tiris EVENING.)
The LORD CHNSCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills, on the motion of Lord REVESDI/31,
were road a second time :—The Cork and Limeriek
way, Spalding Water, 'Athenry and Ennis Junction, CiOy-
don Gas, Edinburgh Railway Station Access, Galway Pier
Junction Railway, Dlatlock Water, and Railway Clearing
House (Ireland).
NICE AND SAVOY.
Lord WODEHOUSE laid on the table a return moved
for the other evening of the dates of all the communica-
tions that had taken iplace relative to the annexation of
these two duchies to the dominions of France.
WEIGHTS FOR RACEHORSES.

Lord REDESDALE brought in a bill to regulate the
weights to be carried by horses kept fur racing purposes.
Many of these horses at present were started for certain
races carrying ridiculously small weights, such es to clearly
prove that they were not intended for legitimate purposes,
but merely to swell the number of starting horses, and pro-
mote gambling. A horse that could not carry seven stone
was clearly not of much use as a legitimate racehorse;
therefore he proposed, supposinc, their lordships should
agree to the passing of his bill, no horse carrying
less than 71bs. should start for any race.
Several Peers exclaimed-7lbs. !
Lord REDESDALE said he meant 7st. (Laughter.)
He thought that was a very moderate weight for a horse to
early. He should not name any day for the second reading,
but merely on that occasion content himself with laying
the 'bill on the table, at the same time saying it was one
well worthy the attention of their lordships.
The bill was then read a first time.
ALTERATION IN THE PRAYER-BOOK.

Lord EBURY moved (us we understood) for a copy of
the memorial recently presented to the Archbishop of Can-
terbury touching the proposed alteration in the Prayer•
book.

The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the motion.
There could only be two courses open to the house if they
wanted the motion carried—either to address the Crown
praying that the Archbishop might be desired to
give up the document, or to send the Sergeant-
at-Arms, as it was proposed that the House of Commons
shculd do in a motion that had been put upon the notice-
paper of that house, and desire the archbishop to deliver
up the paper in the name of their lordship's house. Either
of these courses would be highly illegal.
Lord BROUGHAM entirely agreed with the noble and
learned lord on the woolsack. Whichever of the courses
described were followed would be entirely unjustifiable.
The Crown had no more right than an officer of
that house to demand the production of a book out of the
Archbishop's library.
The subject then dropped.
(LEFT SITTING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tins EVENING.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a second time :—Hayling
Railways and Harbour; Dublin Corporation Water; and
Leeds Township.
Several private bills wero read a first time.
PETITIONS.
Several petitions were presented against the church rates,
flogging in the army and navy, and from ladies against
legalising marriage with deceased wifu's sister.

HOP DUTIES.
Mr. MUNDY gave notice of his intention to ask the
Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is intended to take
off the duty immediately on hops, or whether it was in-
tended to allow the advantages of the bonding to continue P

THE REF,JRSI BILL,

Ist of March, he would bring forward a 13111 to amend the
