The early part of the afternoon, as usual at this period
of the year, was occupied in settling accounts. Herne
supplanted Underhand as first favourite for the Nor-
thumberland Plate. At first Bto 1 was laid against the
latter, whilst 5 to 1 was offered against Herne ; at last,
ho'Wever, 6 to 1 was the highest offer against Underhand.
For the Goodwood Stakes, Harry Bluff was at the
chose as good a favourite as Rosati, who receded from
100 to Btol4to 1. Offers were made to back Harry
Blfiff for an even 100 against anything.

The Royal Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor,
the Marquis of Salisbury, and the Earl of Hardwicke.
Their lordships adjourned during pleasure.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
sack at five o'cleek.
THE INSOLVENCY LAWS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition,
signed by 3,000 merchants of London, praying for the
assimilation of the insolvency and bankruptcy laws. The
noble lord said the sni-ject was a very difficult and com-
plicated one, but he trusted, in the course of a few
days, to lay upon the table a bill on the subject which be
hoped would be looked upon as a great improvement on
the present law.
Lord BROUGHAM agreed with the prayer of the
petitioners that there was great necessity for amending
the bankruptcy and insolvency laws. In the bill which
was to be laid on the table, he hoped there would be no
attempt to pay official assignees by salary. Such a cir-
cumstance would be attended with the very-worst con-
sequences.
CHURCH RATE ABOLITION BILL.
Lord PORTMAN, seeing the noble duke present
.who had charge of the bill, begged to ask to postpone
-for a few days, from the day now fixed, the second read-
ing of the bill.
• The Duke of SOMERSET had no objection to the
postponement for any short time.
ADMISSION OF THE JEWS TO PARLIAMENT.
The Earl of CLANCARTY gave notice that, when
either of the two bills which stood upon the paper, with
respect to the adroh,tion of Jews to Parliament, came
on for a second reading, he should move that they be
read a second time that day six months.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said he regretted to
inform the house that the Earl of Derby was prevented
from being present by illness, and that he would pro-
bably be confined to the house for the remainder of the
week. Under such circumstances, he hoped both bills
would be postponed.
Lord LUCAN said he had no objection to the post-
ponement of his bill, but the noble and learned lord's
(Lyndhurst's) stood first on the paper.
Lord REDESDALE said it was his intention most
strenuously to oppose both biils. He thought it was against
the rules of the house to introduce a second bill on a
sutket which had been rejected in a former bill. (No,
• no.) Although he was opposed to compromise, yet that
did not preclude other noble lords from entertaining
that view, but as the bill which had been sent down from
the House of Commons now remained with them, they
could not alier it, but it was quite competent for the
House of Commons to make such amendments as would
. meet this view of the subject. He thought any propo-
sition for a compromise ought to come from the other
house.
After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM the select
dropped.
I, On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the following
were read a second time :—Ayr and Dalmellington Rail-
way, Bradford Corporation Water' East Kent Railway

The house then went into commttee on this bill.
