London, England, 1866-06-30

We are very glad to find that the House of Lords

during its brief sitting yesterday afternoon did
good public service. The majority by which the
obnoxious Gas Light and Coke Bill was rejected
was indeed the narrowest majority possible, but the
effect is the same ; the bill is thrown out, and the
People's Park is respited at least for another year.
Their lordships have shown in this instance more
regard for the interests of the working classes than
the popular branch of the Legislature, and deserve
the gratitude of all inhabitants of our crowded
eastern parishes. The fact is that commercial
interests are so very strong in this country, and are
so forcibly represented in the Commons, that the
friends of air and space, and public health and en-
enjoyment require to be incessantly on the watch if
they would defeat any scheme whose object it is to
benefit trade at the expense of those intangible but
very positive possessions. As Earl NELSON, who
was the commander of the defending force last
evening, reminded their lordships, those who
are affected by this bill are not persons in
a position to appear by counsel before a Par-
liamentary
committee, and consequently the usual
course
o fr
referring a disputed matter to a select
committee would, in this case, be powerless to elicit
the truth. On a question of political importance,
anda outen of
an whichpolitical capital could be made, the
st could no doubt find plenty of advo-
E_di
cates, but on a matter of this sort the business men
have it all their own way. Many noble lords and
honourable gentlemen think it an unanswerable ar-
gument to quote the decision of the committee
who have already inquired into the subject, but
they forget that before such a committee the
opponents of the Bill are not represented.
If they want to hear both sides of the case, they
should turn to the crowded meetings held in Victoria
Park to protest against the invasion of th,e terrible
enemy, and should recall the energetic and deter-
mined protest niade (successfully) against the erec-
tion of large gasworks in the vicinity of a wealthier
district. Surely it does not need much evidence to
convince any one that the effect of immense gas-
works on trees,
grass, and shrubs near
them must be prejudicial, nor that the smell
of gas would be a very unpleasant ex-
change for fresh air. Those gentlemen who are
familiar with the neighbourhood of the Manufactur-
ing districts can easily recall the effects produced
on vegetation by very strong gases or vapours, We

LIVERPOOL.-FRIDAY.

At to-day's market there was a limited attendance of the
town and country trade, who bought sparingly, the sultry
weather making them cautious about following up the late
advance. There was very little doing in wheat ; how-
ever, in the few sales made, the rates of last, week were
obtained. Flour, with a slow sale, barely maintained its
value. Oats and oatmeal were neglected, and if anything
the turn lower. In barley, beans, and peas we have no
change to note.. Indian corn, with a good deal offering
and few buyers, declined 6d to 9d per 4801bs, 29s Gd to
28s 9d being taken for good mixed American.

Wo think it only fair and just alike to the
Sporting Life and to Mr. Wright, to the sporting
world and ourselves, that we should publish the fol-
lowing letter of Mr. Wright's, ' and the subjoined
article from the Sporting Life, in reference to the
late unfortunate and bewildering account of Wind-
ham as third for the Northumberland Plate, instead
of the Red Earl having been named as third, as it
ought to have been: Vexatious as the error was,
and it was to none more so than to ourselves, for
it we cannot, however (and that is some slight con-
solation), hold ourselves as in any way responsible.

WRIGHT'S TELEGRAMS.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
Snt,—Windham hiving been sent out by me as being
third for the Northumberland Plate, I have referred to the
message sent by my clerk from tho Grand Stand, and find
he sent Red Earl. The mistake, therefore, rests with the
United Kingdom Telegraph Company. 1 have written to
the secretary for an explanation, and on receipt of his
reply the same shall bo immediately made known.—
Yours, /cc., W. WRIGHT.

considerably, principally owing to theiffectawhiai
the war on the Continent may have on imports.
Little is doing in barley, and prices are without
change. There has not been much done in oats,
or beans, and prices are rather harder. As the
monetary pressure of the last two months seems to
be coming to an end, it may be as well to note its
effect on the trade of the town. This has been far
loss than might have been anticipated. As regards
credit, while in London it has been greatly shaken,
it has been impossible to find any trace of such a
thing here. It may be confidently said that it has
not caused any doubts of the stability of any hou4s
which enjoyed even a moderate credit. It has, no
doubt, to some extent suspended the giving of orders
in anticipation of the regular trade, but stocks have
not much accumulated, and, in fact, are still light
while prices are on the whole remarkably firm. Its
principal effects have been that the high rate of
discount has greatly curtailed the profits of some
branches of considerable magnitude, where the
margin of profit is always small. The state of
things on the Continent has caused serious incon-
venience to shippers to Germany and Italy by
almost stopping the trade, and throwing on their
hands goods which were preparing for those coun-
tries ; but this would necessarily have been the case
in any state of the money market. All, then, is
held to prove that the trades of this town have been
very sound and legitimate. Not a single failure of
any consequence has taken place, which could /Jot
have been the case had the trade been speculative
or in any way illegitimate."

The Cholera.

Them is much truth in the following. In Asia, and in
all countries most desolated by this scourge, the natives
sloop on the ground :

OUR BED-ROOMS.

Dr. T. S. Bell, an old and eminent physician of Louis-
ville, a man of vast acquirements and wide observation and
experience, said the other day, at a meeting of the Louis-
ville College of Physicians and Surgeons:—" The cause of
cholera has never risen to any great height perpendicu-
larly, except where it has been forced up. Naturally it
cannot seriously affect the second story of any good resi-
dence. Heights have always been, when properly guarded,
secure refuges from cholera. Elevated buildings or high
walls have boon perfectly exempt, while conterminous
places wore ravaged. Moscow has been repeatedly invaded

Le quarters along the low banks of the Moskwa, but

there has never been a case of the disease in the elevated
Kremlin. The monasteries with high walls in Italy,
France, and Spain, have, with great uniformity, escaP43d

Le disease.

" The cause of cholera acts alone at night and upon
sleeping persons. No amount of exposure in the worst
localities of the disease imperils the wakeful, moving in-
dividual. I have seen hundreds of instances of this fact,
without one aberration from the statement of the propo-
sition. I have myself spent many a night in these locali-
ties during the ravages of the epidemic, and never felt that
I was in any peril while I kept awake, and the best secu-
rity for that is to keep in motion."-
So this distinguished practitioner intimates that atten-
tion to our sleeping apartments is quite as important as the
other precautionary steps which are more frequently urged
in the newspapers. Look where you sleep, for it seems
that the-epidemic is most dangerous when it steals on one
" like a thief in the night."

According to careful estimates and calculations an
average of about 55 tons a day of mail matter are sent out
of New York city, and 35 tons are received for distribu-
tion. Sometimes more than 1,000 bags are received at
that office or closed and forwarded in a single day.

Royal Visit to Knole.

Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Prince and
Princess of Wales honoured the Earl and Countess
Delawarr with their company at a fete at linole, the
ancient seat of the Sackville family in Kent.
,The
inhabitants of Sevenoaks made an extraordinary
demonstration on the occasion. In addition to
triumphal arches, adorned with the heraldic bear-
ings of the noble house of Dorset, on several parts
of the road were erected arches entwined with the
hopbine, representing the great crop of the county,
and decorated with armour and banners. Almost
without exception every house was decorated, and
in many instances provision was made for illumina-
tion at night.

The Prince and Princess of Leiningen and family
have arrived at the International Hotel, London-bridge,
from Bavaria.

The Prince of Augustenburg is now making a
tour amongst the courts of Southern Germany, doubtless
to rekindle their zeal for his candidateship. He has gone
to Munich, after having visited Meiningen and Coburg.

Artemus Ward is in town, and will probably
appear shortly as a 'humorous lecturer under the
auspices of Spiers and Pond.— Orchestra.

The cholera is diminishing rapidly at Amiens ;
the daily number of deaths, which was 28, has been re -
duced to 12.

Mgr. Dubreuil, Archbishop of Avignon, and Mgr.
Afeignan, Bishop of Chalons, are in Paris to attend the
Council of Public Instruction.

General Beauregard, who obtained such celebrity
by his defence of Charleston, and who has been some short
time in Paris, left yesterday for London. During his stay
he was received by the Emperor.
Gen. Pinnelli has taken the command of the Ita-
lian first corps d'armee, in consequence of the wound of
Gen. ;Durando. He has:established his head-quarters at
Milan.

LIVERPOOL-FRIDAY.

At to-day's market thero was a limited attendance of the
town and country trade, who bought sparingly, the sultry
weather making them cautious about following up the late
advance. There was very little doing in wheat ; how-
ever, in the few sales made, the rates of last week wero
obtained. Flour, with a Slow sale, barely maintained its
value. Oats and oatmeal wore neglected, and if anything
the turn lower. In barley, beans, and peas wo have no
change to note.. Indian corn, with a good deal offering
and few buyers, declined 6d to 9d per 4801bs, 29s 6d to
28s 9d being taken for good mixed American.

Mr. Plumb, the secretary, made a second ascension. They
started on their atmospheric travels at a quarter to six,
determining to take advantage of the soft breezes of the
evening. Upon starting the rudder caught and the ship
drifted at will for some time, but after getting upon the
tops of the houses the Doctor got control, and then took
entire command. Ho is corroborated in his statement that
he went entirely against the wind in the same manner that
a bird will do—just by laising or lowering of the tail. The
theory seems to be pretty well founded, and there are large
numbers of our citizens who have sincere faith in its ulti-
mate success. After travelling some forty miles in the air
they landed at Jamaica, Long Island, with a stronger con-
• viction than ever that the Aereon is soon to become a flying
fact. Them are few who would not rejoice at its success.
From what was seen by those on terra firma the ship
worked admirably, going in various directions at the will
of the voyageurs. After receiving a hearty welcome from
the villagers, the ship was brought safely back to its start-
' ing point at the corner of Greene and Houston-street, in
this City.-2 eto York Herald.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—lt having been stated in the Times news-
paper of this day that the ladies of Mrs. Gladstone's
family accepted the honour of an ovation on Wed-
nesday evening from an assemblage which the same
journal describes as " persons of the lowest class,"
iul,p botenog ,
say
those withtohwiatittl enteringooonugthhz
into any question as to the
delicacy and propriety of this style of criticism
certainlyevenn
g tno
question,be exempt
my absence from home, officers of police came to
my house and stated that a very large number of
persons who were gathered in front of it, along
Carlton House-terrace, and towards Pall-mall,
would disperse speedily, as well as quietly, if Mrs.
Gladstone would appear in the balcony, and they
requested that she would be good enough to do so
accordingly. This desire of the police was conveyed
to my wife, and she did what was asked, as she
thought, for the public convenience and in deference
to the representatives of public authority. I must
add that Mrs. Gladstone and other witnesses were
struck with the respectable appearance and good
order of those who composed the large assemblage.—
I have, &c., N. E. GLADSTONE.

Sinco the close of tho public sales, very little business
has been done in colonial wool by private contract. Prices,
however, have ruled firm. For English wool there is a

The Price of Gold.

--
The ivurre of exchange at New York on London for bills at
130 days' sight is about 1081 per cent. At these rates there
s no profit on the importa.lon of go d from the United
States.

rue quotation of gold at Paris is about i per milk pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.23 per £1 sterling. On
comparing' these rates with the English Mint price of £.i
too, per ounce for standard gold, it appe..rs that gold is
nearly 3-Kth, pm. neut. Boar titit in London titan in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 stcrlin_
Standard gold at the Engll h Mint price is, therefore, at
about the Same price in London and Hamburg.

MAZZINI AND THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.—The
Naples correspondent of the Paris Temps says that Maz-
zini will probably be proposed at Nicastro, where an elec-
tion is to take place on the Bth, and where he has already
had from 75 to 80 votes. Messina, it is thought, will re-
turn him again.
THE ANNUITIES TO P RINCESS HELENA AND PRINCE
ALFRED.— The two acts of Parliament have been issued
granting annuities to Princess Helena of £6,000 on her
marriage with Prince Christian, and £15,000 to Prince
Alfred, " subject to such slinietions as her Majesty may
direct." Both annuities are to be " free of all taxes, as-
se
fments, and g char es." The annuity of Prince Alfred
ness
ie to from the 6th August last, when his Royal High_
came of age.
THE GIGANTIC BIRD.--Professor Owen writes
Paragraphs like that on the ' Gigantic Bird'
fatal
usuallyto include elements which the naturalist sees to be
the interpretation attached to the facts ; yet these
may be well deserving attention and inquiry. New Zealand
was
stin s undoubtedly the laud of huge birds, but, like their few
exig conpeners in other parts of the world, the head
was small; that of a Dinernis,
thrice the balk of the largest
g ostrich, does not exceed 8 inches in length. The
notice of the remains found in the province of Nelson
assures me that they are those of a saurian reptile, and
indicate the Jurassic age of the beds of limestone in
which they have been petrified. Parts of a Plesiosaurus
were discovered in that province by Mr. J. H. Hood, of
Cluny House, Dunkeld, in 1861 ; but the present are of
another kind. Should this letter appear and meet the eyes
of any colonist able to grant the request, I would only ask
for a single vertebra (joint of back or tail) and one of the
supposed feathers of the 'gigantic bird,' and promise to
return the name of the animal. As my table this morn-
ing gives unmistakable evidence of a coming avalanche of
inquiries as to the meaning of the paragraph from the
"colonial newspaper„ to which you have added your cir-
culation, " to
will please to accept" the above as an
Answer."
