TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

Notwithstanding there were a large number of members
present, the business transacted was by no means extensive
neither was it invested with any degree of importance. The
speculation that took place was wholly confined to the Two
Thousand and the Derby. For the first-mentioned race,
Plaudit maintained his position of first favourite, and he
was backed for a small amount at 7 to 2, but if 4 to 1 could
have been laid some hundreds would have been invested at
that price. As it was, one gentleman accepted 100 to 40
about him, "with a run." Julius was slightly less firm,
for at one time 100 to 15 was laid against him, but ho after-
wards found support at 6 to 1, which odds were, however,
freely offered to the close. Hermit was in considerable
force; 1,100 to 100 was taken in ono bet, and several
smaller outlays were made at the same rate. Vauban ex-
hibited signs of retrogression, as much as 12 to 1 being
laid and offered. Mr. Merry's candidate, Marksman, came
in for a fair share of support at 15 to 1 and 14 to 1, and
1,000 to 100 was also accepted with a start. Knight of the
Garter was made the medium of a £l9O investment at 20
to 1, but his price did not shorten in consequence, and
there appeared to be more layers than backers in his case.
One of the representatives of the French stable, Trocadero,
was supported at 30 to 1, and the betting on this race
wound up with a double event bet of 10 name about Plaudit
and Julius. For the Derby, tho Rake's was not men-
tioned, and D'Estournel was offered against at 9 to 1, with-
out finding takers. Hermit, for this, as for the other race,
was much inquired after, and 10 to 1 was accepted
14 kindly
about him. Plaudit was supported f trifle at to 1,
and 1,000 to 30 was taken three times about the Palmer.
In the course of the afternoon tho following notice in
reference to the bets in the Soiled Dove case was posted
in the room :
" Soiled Dove, three years old, having been disqualified
by Rule 17, all bets which were won on the three sweep-
stakes and match must be refunded, as well as the money
for which she was backed. The second horses in each
case of the races alluded to being the bona fide winners of
the stakes and bets. " li. J. 'tons,

HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

PETITION.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH presented a petition
against the sale of spirituous liquors on the Sabbath-
daSey,
veral other petitions, relative to the same question,
were also presented.
RAILWAY TRAFFIC CONNECTION BILL.

Lord REDESDALE said that it would be remembered
that he had introduced a bill, entitled "The Railwr.y
Traffic Connection Bill." It had for its object the pro-
tection of the traffic on a railway in case any single creditor
should, by enforcing his claim, stop it, thus incurring a
great deal of annoyance to the public at large. He thought,
this a bill of tho highest importance, and should have PA
first reading.
The bill was read a first time.
SMALL DEBTS (SCOTLAND (BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that under the Small
Debts Act iu Scotland the Sheriff had absolute jurisdiction
over debts to the amount of £l2. Now it was asked that
this decision of the Sheriff should be restricted to £5.
(Hear.) If the debt was between £l2 and £25,
there was a right of appeal, and it was proposed
that there should be au appeal in all debts from £25 to
to £5O. The process would be a comparatively inexpen-
sive one, and there would be a certain reservation of power
still in the hands of the sheriff. Ho should now move the
second reading.
Ths bill was read a second time.
The house than adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THIS EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
NEW MEMBER..

Col. DUNCOMBE took the oath and his seat for the North
Riding of Yorkshire.
COMPENSATION FOR SLAUGHTERED CATTLE.
Mr. READ asked the Secretary to the Treasury to
whom the owners of cattle slaughtered by inspectors from
August to November, 1865, were to apply for compensa-
tion, and through what channel such compensation would
be paid ?
Mr. HUNT said owners of the cattle slaughtered be-
tween the periods he had mentioned must, in the first in-
stance, send in their claim to the local authorities. Their
clerk would forward them to the office of the Privy Coun-
cil, and, after verification, they would be transmitted to
the Treasury, and an order for payment sent to the local
authorities.
Mr. REBOW said Mr. Corry bad stated just the reverse.
He said the parties must in the first instance go to the
clerk of the peace.
Mr. HUNT remarked that generally speaking the clerk
of the peace was the clerk to the local authorities. '
THE REFORM BILL.
Mr. LOWE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether he would lay upon the table a return for every
borough in England and Wales, showing name of borough,
number of male occupiers below £lO rental, number of
male occupiers at £3O rental and upwards, and number of
male occupiers at £7 rental and upwards?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said all the
information required by the right hon. gentleman was to
be found in Mr. Baines's return, No. 81 and Mr. Horsman's,
No. 494. If, however, the right hon. gentleman wanted
to have them in a tabular form, he would endeavour, al-
though the clerks of the Poor-law Board were very much
overworked, to secure the return for him.
THE STALEYBRIDGE STATION.
Mr. CHEETHAM asked the Vice-President of [the
Board of Trade, whether the attention of the Board had
been directed to the very inconvenient and dangerous
condition of the Stalybridge Station of the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway and Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway Companies ; and, if so, whether the
Board had any communication with the companies upon
the subject with the view to oblige them to make better
arrangements for the convenience and safety of the public?
Mr. CAVE said the attention of the Board of Trade had
been called to the disgraceful state of the Staleybridge
station, and Colonel Yollaud had reported against it. The
two railway companies bad Wen communicated with, but
nothing had yet been done, the Board of Trade having no
power to compel either company to improve the station.
Very grave responsibility would attach to both companies
if any accident should arise. Both cempanies had bills
before the house; but Parliament could refuse to sanction
any b:ll iu connection with the station until it was safe for
public use.

THE ANNUITY TAX.
Mr. MONCREIFF asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Deportment whether it was the intention of Go-
vernment to fill up the present vacancy in the collegiate
charge of the parish of Canongate, in Edinburgh ; and
whether he intended to introduce any measure relative to
the Annuity Tax in that parish.
Mr. WALPOLE said that it was not the intention of
the Government to fill up the vacancy, and a bill to deal
with the parish was at present under consideration.
OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES
EDUCATION BILL.
Mr. EWART moved the second readinz of this bill, the
object of which was to open the benefits of education in
the universities of Oxford and 'Cambridge to students,
without obliging them to be members of a college or hall
in those universities. The great object in the foundation
of the universities was to cheapen education, but such had
been the change worked by time that the contrary was
the result. It had been brought about by the great
expense now attending university education, which in
a great many cases entirely precluded young men
from proceeding to either of those colleges to complete
their education. The bill would to a great extent throw
open the doors of the universities to a very large class, and
therefore he hoped the house would agree to•the second
reading of the bill.
After a few observations from Mr. B. HOPE and Sir W.
HEATHCOTE, _

The bill was read a second time.
PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
Mr. M'LAGAN inpved for the appointment of a select
committee to inquire into the existing legislative provisions
for the protection of life and property against fires in the
United Kingdom, and as to the best means to be adopted
for ascertaining the causes and frequency of fires.
Mr. KINN AIRD seconded the motion. The system of
extinguishing fire in America and Canada was much su-
perior to that in England, and had it been in operation
here it was quite possible the fire at the Crystal Palace
might have-been extinguished before the tropical
ha
depart-
ent was destroyed. lie was highly grati t
m ti? 4 to the
t the
Government did not intend to offer any opposition
apfooiutineut of the commission.
The motion was agreed to.
DUBLIN NIVERSITY PROFESSORSHIP BILL.
This bill U
as amended was further considered and
agreed to.

CONSOLIDATED POND BILL.
This bill (369,118 ss. 61) was read a third time and
passed.
The other orders of the:day having been disposed of
