THE DERBY DAY.

On tha motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUEIc, it was agreed that the house at its rising adjourn
until Thursday.

DWELLING HOUSES.

Mr. AYRTON moved for a return of the number of
dwelling houses (not included in a composition under
any general or local Act) on account of which the land-
lord or owner paid the poor rates by agreement with the
overseers or other authority assessing or collecting the
same in the cities and boroughs in England and Wales
returning members to Parliament.—The return was
ordered.

MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (METROPOLIS).
Mr. MILL moved for leave to bring in a bill for the
establishment of municipal corporations in the several dis-
tricts of the metropolis.
Mr. AYRTON thought the bill when brought in would
not fulfil the object the hon. member had in view.
Mr. LOCKE thought it far more preferable to divide
the metropolis into wards, each of which should elect an
alderman and common council in the same manner as the
City of London.
Colonel Sykes thought the bill was an attempt to sweep
away the liberties of the City of London.
Mr. G. HARDY said, on the part of the Government, he
should offer no opposition to the introduction of the bill ;
but with respect to the course the Government might take
after that measure hal been introduced, he would give n 3
promise. The subject was a very intricate one, and the
metropolitan members were themselves not agreed upon
the subject.
Leave was given to bring in the bill.
THE SALTERS' ESTATE IN IRELAND.

Mr. O'REILLY called attention to the circumstances
under which the Salters' Company had rofused a site for a
Roman Catholic Church in Magherafelt; and moved an
humble address to her Majesty, praying that she would
be graciously pleased to revoke such portion, if any, of the
charter of the Salters' Company as impeded the obtaining
of a site for a Roman Catholic Church on their property.
Mr. COGA.N seconded the motion, which was supported
by Colonel FRENCH.

Mr. DAWSON, who spoke with the authority of a resi-
dent proprietor in regard to the need of increased church
ileetwou4mlation for the Roman Catholic population, hpited_
that the objection of the Salters' Company was directed
more to particular than to general consideration; the local
gossip being that the Roman Catholics insisted on a par-
ticular site for their church, with the intention of over-
topping with their spiro the spires of the Episcopalian and
Presbyterian churches in the same little town. The com-
pany will bo happy to reconsider the case, and abandon
any obsolete or unusual interpretation of the charter ; in
which there are many things which could not now be
adhered to. They are, however, of opinion that the site
asked for is inconvenient. They had granted an extension
of the existing site, and given donations to the stipend of
the priest and the expenses of the schools; and although
they entered into possession of their property under pecu-
liar circumstances and under disadvantages, the evictions
on the estate had been few, snd principally for non-pay-
ment °front. There is nothing in the charter which will
prevent a fair, just, and generous settlement of the ques-
tion without the interference of the house between the
company and their tenants.

Mr. MAGUIRE enforced the complaint against the
company.

Major O'REILLY said as the company now withdrew
the ground they had before put forward, he would with-
draw his motion.
After a few words of explanation from Mr. DAwsox, the
motion was withdrawn.

Mr. BENTINCE called attention to the mode in which
the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have dealt with the
claims of the non-capitular members of cathedral and col-
legiate churches to increased stipendd, and moved for
copies of the questions which have lately been issued to
the non-capitular members of cathedral and collegiate
churches, and the replies thereto.
Mr. MOWBRAY assented to the motion, which was
agreed to, after some remarks from Mr. Hankey and Mr.
W. N. Hodgson.

HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION (IRELAND) ACT.
Lord NAAS asked leave to introduce a bill to renew,
for a limited period, the Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ire-
land) Act, and said nothing short of an absolute convic-
tion of the necessity for the interests and peace of the
country that the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act should be
renewed would induce him to make this 'notion. The
events of the last few months are so fresh in the recollec-
tion of the house that it is unnecessary to recapitulate them.
An organisation, which had lasted between four and five
years, culminated on the sth of March in an abortive at-
tempt at insutrection. It may be said to have lasted not
more than a few hours. This result was brought about
very much by the precautions taken by the Government,
the loyalty of the population generally, and the extra-
ordinary fidelity and courage of the constabulary, to
whom the country owes a deep debt of gratitude. But
had it not been for the suspension of this Act, the sup-
pression of this movement would have been more diffi-
cult. As it was the Government wore enabled for several
days before the outbreak took place to imprison such per-
sons who had turned out to be prominent leaders in the
movement, many of whom had a short time before arrived
in Ireland for the purpose of joining in it. There appears
at this moment every sign of a great collapse in the organ-
isation. (Hear, hear.) But precautions are still necessary,
secret societies continuing to exercise an influence of• ter-
ror, and there are a considerable number of persons still in
custody whose release could not be effected at once with
safety. The Government have always been of opinion
that the powers of the Act ought not to be exercised
except for the purpose of placing under restraint,
for a short time, persons whom the Government are satis-
fledare conspiring against the welfare of the State. There
are now in custody, under the Lord Lieutenant's warrants,
211 persons. Since the 26th February 142 persons have
been arrested, but several of these have already been sent
for trial. From the 26th February to the 20th of May, 31
persons have been discharged from custody, and the last
arrest under the powers of this Act was made so far back
as the 23d April. There has been an impression that the
Government was unwise in releasing so many, but this
was not done without consideration, and no mischievous
effect followed. Since the Act was first suspended in 1866
961 persons have been arrested, and of these 778 have been
released by the late and pr3sent Government. The per-
sons who have been so released were watched with more
than ordinary vigilance, and he was happy to say that
out of the total number of 778 it was found necessary to
re-arrest only 26. (Hoar, hear.) He proposed to extend
the operation of the Act to the Ist of March next, and he
hoped and believed that when that time arrived the power
which it conferred would be no longer necessary. (Hear.)
Mr. MAGUIRE expressed a hope that the bill would
not be hurried forward by the Government without giving
the House ample time for its discussion.
Leave was given to bring in the bill.
Some time was occupied in the discussion of the rival
Scotch Game Bills of Mr. M'Lagan and Lord Elcho, both
of which were ultimately read a second time and referred
to a select committee.
Lord AMBERLEY moved the second reading of his
Parliamentary Registration Bill, the object of which is to
prevent electors voting more than once for the same place,
by providing that, however numerous his qualifications,
no elector's name shall be entered more than once on tho
register.
Mr. JIARDY oppotod the bill, pointing out practical

Some other business was disposed of, and tho bons°
adjouruad at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock.

es
than will face the starter ou Wednesday, and rarely has

indifferent itffheei
this
anni-
versarylot
has witnessed. The Hermit, Plaudit, D'Estournel,
and The hake, undoubtedly the best two-yr-old form of
last year, have either entirely disappeared, or hold that
dubious position in the market which is almost equivalent
to being "gone." Plaudit's exhibition in the Two Thou-
sand was the first blow, and The Rake's mishap on
Friday the last. Mr. Pryor's horse since that day
has somewhat recovered his position, and he, as well
as Herthlt, are annonneed as certain starters; bui
their chances must be estimated by the fact that
both have broken blood vessels, and been necessarily
stopped in their work. Plaudit, we believe, does enough
work, and goes well enough to satisfy his stable, but
hardly the public. D'Estournel is reported amiss, and
there is nothing, say the oracles, but Vauban and Van
Amburgh on the list, and one must win.
The coming of The Palmer yesterday to 12 to 1 was
the chief feature of a dull afternoon. Vauban's remark-
able firmness, and the eagerness of the public to got on
even at the price of 65 to 40 ; the mysterious position of
Van Amburgh, who is now said not to be sold, and whose
whereabouts the keenest "tout" has been unable to dis-
cover ; and the heavy rlace investments on Marksman
and Julius were the others. The Rake went the Derby
course this morning—galloped would probably be hardly
the right term—and according to some went well, to others
"blew like a grampus." With the exception of The
Hermit and two more, there were no other Derby horses
out. The ground is now in excellent order, but as it is
raining heavily while we write, and with every prospect
of continuance, there may be a different tale to-morrow.
The day was as disagreeable as could be--cold, wet, and
cheerless. Old Moulsey galloped away from his field in
the Craven, and Nine Elms cleverly won the New Tatter-
sall's Stakes.

The fielders had a turn in the Woodcote Stakes, for
which there was a large field, and the highly-tried Inner-
dale, belonging to the Duke of Hamilton, the favourite.
He did but ill, however, and Le Sarrazin, a Monarquo colt
belonging to Count de Lagrange, scarcely mentioned in
the betting, won, pulling double all the way.
The Derby betting ahowed The Rake, at one time
brought to 7 to 1, to decline to 12, and Vam Amburgh
to be rather in bad odour at 9 to 1. The Palmer
was still advancing, at one time only 10 to 1 being
offered, while perhaps the most remarkable fact was
the eagerness with which the 50's to 1 about Plaudit
were snapped up. Vauban was still as firm as ever,
and will doubtless so continue till the flag falls. People
declare the race to be "over," but if the rain continues
and the ground gots heavy, some outsider, some second
Merry Monarch, Daniel O'Rourke, or Caractacus may yet
drop from the clouds at Tattenham-corner. Still it does
not look probable. The public performances of the Duke
of Beaufort's horse warrant us in supposing that as he now
heads the quotations in the betting so he will the numbers
on the telegraph to-morrow.

The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 50 added; three
year olds 7st 71b, four Bst 121 b, five and upwards 9st 41b;
mares allowed 51b and geldings 31b; the last mile and a

Betting-6 to 4 agst Moulsey, 7to 4 agst Ostreger, 6to
1 agst Roquefort, and 12 to 1 agst Beeswing. Beeswing,
on the lower ground, was first away, and, with Roquefort
at her girths, came on a length or so in advance of Leading
Suit and Lord Glasgow's colt side. To these succeeded
the two favourites, who, evidently under orders, waited
until they were fairly round Tattenham-corner. Here the
leaders separated, and as they crossed the road Moulsey,
in company with Ostreger, Czar, and Lozenge, were seen
in advance, and ran in these positions to the enclosure,
where Moulsey drew away, and won in a canter by three
lengths ; a similar distance separated the second and third
Lozenge was fourth, and the Strafford's dam colt fifth
Then came Beeswing, Roquefort, and Leading Suit at wide
intervals.

The Tattersall Stakes (Handicap) of 10 sovs each, h ft,
with 100 added ; the second to receive 25 sovs out of the
stakes ; winners of any race after May 16 at (ten a.m.)

Indian Star, in company with Chapel Royal and Ther-
mometer, made play, having Knight of St. Michael, Fakir,
Tumbler, and the favourite wide on their right to the turn
into the straight, when the three latter ran wide. This
mishap gave a clear lead to Indian Star, who with T her-
mometer, and Knight of St. Michael lying up, came in ad-
vance to the Stand. Here Nine Elms, who had gradually
recovered his lost ground, came up on the upper ground,
and obtaining a slight advantage of a dozen strides from
the chair, won a fine race by half a length. Thermometer
defeated the Knight by a neck for second ; Chapel Royal
was fourth, Indian Star fifth, and Fakir next. The last
two were Breach of Promise and Tumbler.
The Woodcote Stakes of 10 soya each, with 200 added, for
two year olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b; the second

to 7 agst Marquis of Carabas, and 20 to 1 agst any other.
A long delay at the post preceded an unsatisfactory,
start, in which Balsamo, in company with Lady Highthorn,
Cork Jacket, Le Sarazzin, and Hatchment got away iu
advance ; the favourite, Speculum, and Restitution being
seen among the rear division. When fairly in the straight
tho last-named somewhat impr)ved their position, and at
the distance Lady Highthorn headed Balsamo, and came
on slightly in advance of Cork Jacket and Le Sarrazin
but on reaching the enclosure she gave way to the French
representative, who was joined by Restitution and Specu•
lum, who finished a splendid race home, but Le Sarrazin
held his own to the end, and won cleverly at last by a
length, Speculum, who came with a rush a dozen strides
from home, defeating the Baron's colt by a head only for
second honours. Lady Highthorn was fourth close up;
Balsamo fifth, Innerdale sixth, Ilatchment seventh, and
Cork Jacket next. The last three were Lord Palmerston,
Forest King, and Burlington.
