L AMB 0 URNE.

Our Two Thousand and Derby horses continue to do
well. Marksman was galloping a mile and a quarter pretty
fast this morning ; and Waugh also gave Birdforth, the
Cordelia colt, and Summertime. a good gallop. Knight
galloped Stockmar and Beanstalk about a mile, and the
former moves particularly well. Manuolla and Ornament
did a fair amount of work. Tb old horses continuo
healthy and exercise freely, and our yearlings are getting
nicely forward.
London, England, 1866-12-05

Though the training grounds here are heavy, and the
weather was still inclement, we had a large number of ani-
mals at exercise this morning, but more particularly the
candidates for the Two Thousand and the Derby, of whom
The Rake, The llermit, the Dragon, D'Estournel, Van
Amburgh, and Stradbroko appeared to attract the most at-
tention. The first named galloped a mile with Friponnier,
and The Hermit was cantering smartly with Knight of the
Garter. The Dragon merely trotted about, but his stable
compeers, Trocadero and Imperator, had a mile gallop,
and Cerf Volante, Longchamp, and Enchanteur took two
or three brisk canters. Van Amburgh exercised
freely, and did over a mile gallop, first class.
D'Estournel had several long, smart canters with
Ravioli; and Stradbroke galloped quite a mile.
Julius, the Flying Scud, and Pericles took a steady mile
gallop each ; but Avron, Architnage, Nike, Bombastes, and
the rest of Mat Dawson's two year olds, were merely can-
tering. Jasper and Falkenstein worked together, and
Hippie, with Janus; they galloped slowly and under a
mile. Besides the above, we also saw Lochaber, Argentol,
Star of India, Blinkhoolio, King Charles, Pedagogue,
Tempest, Assineboine, Beauclerk, Cyclone, Ettrick, Lon-
desborough, La Puce, Lord Brownlow, Barrington, about
eleven of Lord Glasgow's, and several other two year olds
at healthy exercise. Most of th 3 elder horses were canter-
ing, including Gladiateur, who is at length officially an-
nounced to receive " thirty approved mares at 100 guineas
each," after the close of this year, at Middle Park, Eltham,
where Saunterer, Marsyas, King John, and High Treason
will stand next season.

TRADES' REFORM MEETING.

Last night a meeting called by the leaders of the
London Trades and Friendly Societies was held in
St. James's-hall, Piccadilly, in favour of Parliamen-
tary Reform, as a sort of sequel to the open air de-
monstration of the previous day. The galleries were
hung with festoons of artificial flowers, and some of
the bannerets and mottoes used in the procession cf
the day before were displayed at the back of the
platform and in other parts of the building. Among
the most conspicuous of the latter were " Edmond
Beaks and the right of meeting in the Parks ;"
" Honour Bright, our Guiding * ;" Residential and
registered manhood suffrage ;" " Vote by Ballot. ;"
" The working men of London return their thanks
to Lord Ranelazli ;" " The People the legitimate
source of power," &c. At half-past 7 Mr. Bright,
M.P., arrived, accompanied by Mr. George Potter,
Mr. Mason Jones, and other leaders of the move-
ment, and was received with cheering. Mr. T. B.
Potter, M.P., Mr. Ayrton, M.P., and Sir J. Gray,
M.P., also appeared upon the platform. Most of
the trade delegates wore the scarfs and stars apper-
taining to their respective offices. The chair was

PROFESSOR MAURICE'S INAUGURAL LECTURE AT
CAMBRIDGE.—The inaugural lecture of the Rev. Professor
Fred. Denison Maurice, the recently-elected Professor of
Moral Theology or Cauistry, was delivered yesterday in
the Senate House, Cambridge, which was literally cram-

men were represented by the vice-chancellor, professors,
heads of houses, and all who, as members of the senate,
exercised their privilege on this occasion. The galleries
were crowded by undergraduates, and the highest compli-

Plaudit continues in rare good health, and is " fining'
beautifully. This morning, despite the heavy state of the
moor, he followed Strathconan for quite a mile and a
quarter, accompanied by Rose and Newland, who are also
looking and going as well as any animals possibly can do,
Lozenge led Elvire, Louisa, and Blairgowrie in similar
work ; and Dagmar schooled Virtue and the Lady Mac-
donald filly. Fat Bob galloped all a mile and a half, and
Zonobia cantered freely.

in every respect. The invitations, issued to a some-
what restricted number, a'bout 300 of the elite of
St. Petersburg, named nine o'clock as the time of
the ball, and many of the guests paid their hosts
the compliment of coming at the time appointed.
Lady Buchanan and the Ambassador, in his gold
embroidered uniform of office, received the guests
at the door of the reception-room. The fete pre-
sented the appearance of a Court ball ; the guests
were in full state uniforms, with their decorations,
as at the late ball at the Winter Palace. The
toilettes of the ladies were of great richness and
brilliancy, and withal remarkable for the exquisite
taste which they displayed.

The apartments of the British Embassy, though
not of remarkable extent, are handsome and well
proportioned. They are in general decorated in

white and gold, relieved here and there by fine

Sevres vases filled with beautiful flowers. - The
ball-room is pure white, decorated with rich
mouldings and caryatides. By an admirable arrange-
ment the refreshment room was in the Ambassador's
room at the end of the apartments opposite to the
ball room. In an adjoining room was the private
tea table for the royal vititors. This decentralisa-
tion of the fete, so to speak, added to the relative
position of the rooms, which were admirably adapted
for the circulation of the company, prevented

Our Downs are exceedingly heavy from the excess of
wet we have had, but John Day has a long team out this
morning. Uncas and Distin had a steady mile gallop;
and Caucasus,Vauban, and Fairfield a couple of smart can-
ters and long walking exercise. The Duke, Ischia, Lec-
turer, Redcap, Harpenden, Black Prince (by Voltigeur),
Red Riband, Seville, and some twenty others trotted and
cantered briskly. Copenhagen and Pantaloon were again
leading the yearlings, which are getting forward, and are
exceedingly healthy and tractable. Tom Brown's lot has
been reduced to the Duke of Hamilton's steeplechasers
only ; and this morning Diomed and Shiite were in long
work. Orontes has gone to Reading, and has dono plenty
of late.

Though the training grounds here are heavy, and the
weather was still inclement, we had a large number of ani-
mals at exercise this iiikrning, but more particularly the
candidates for the Two Thousand and the Derby, of whom
Tho Rake, The Hermit, the Dragon, D'Estournel, Van
Amburgh, and Stradbroke appeared to attract the most at-
tention. The first named galloped a mile with Friponnier,
and The Hermit was cantering smartly with Knight of the

compeers, Trocadero and Imperator, had a mile gallop,
and Cerf Volante, Longchamp, and Enchanteur took two
or three brisk canters. Van Amburgh exercised
freely, and did over a mile gallop, first class.
D'Estournel had several long, smart canters with
Ravioli ; and Stradbroke galloped quite a mile.
Julius, the Flying Scud; and Pericles took a steady mile
gallop each ; but Avton, Archimage, Nike, Bombastes, and
the rest of Mat Dawson's two year olds, wore merely can-
tering. Jasper and Falkenstein worked together, and
Hippia with Janua ; they galloped slowly and under a
mile. Besides the above, we also saw Lochaber, Argentel,
Star of India, Blinkhoolie, King Charles, Pedagogue,
Tempest, Assineboine, Beauclork, Cyclone, Ettrick, Lon-
desborough,
at healthy exercise. Most ut eta eleven of Lota alasgoves, and several other two year olds

Mr. Harriette Lea sang two sweet songs, with fine
effect, producing a favourable impression by her
vocalisation that will long be remembered by all
who had the happiness to hear her. The performance
of Mr. Wright on the harp was loudly applauded.
The festivities continued until a late hour, closing
with thanks to the Chairman, to Colonel Sander-
son, and the good old tune. " Home, Sweet Home."
Letters, expressing regret at their inability to
attend, were received from the Hon. Charles Francis
Adams, Minister Plenipotentiary for the United

In consequence of the demise of Lady Charlotte Dundas,
one of his lordship's sisters, the Earl of Zetland's horses
have not left the horse paddocks for the past few days,
but the stable is healthy. Podargus is turned into a loose
box. James Watson had out upwards of thirty this morn-
ing, and Strathconan again led Plaudit, Rose, and New-
land a mile and a quarter steady gallop, besides taking
them some brisk canters. Elliott's nags merely trotted
and cantered; and Tom Lund's did not do much beyond
that. Wintringham, however, seems to be giving Pat
Bob plenty of strongish work.

MILITARY SAVINGS BANKS.

Mr. DISRAELI asked for some information relative to
the case of a young soldier who had deposited a certain
sum in one of the military savings banks in India. After
informing his parents of the sum he had so placed he died,
and in place of recovering the amount the soldier informed
his parents he had saved, a few shillings only were sent
to the poor people, who were peasants in Buckinghamshire.
He should like to have some information on the matter.

Mr. FERRAND said a case very similar had occcurred
at his residence in the country. The mother of a
private soldier had been informed by him that he had placed
£2O in the military savings bank, but after so doing ho
died, and instead of the sum being paid over to her she
received but a few shillings. It being a case exactly in
point to that brought forward by the right hon. gentleman
he hoped it would be inquired into at the same time.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, his
noble friend the Secretary for War not being in his place,
he would no doubt give some information on the matter
to-morrow evening.

COLONIAL.

STIG.A.R.— The market has continued exceedingly dull
and the few dealings reported have been at about previous
rates. Refined goods generally are a shade cheaper.
COFFEE.—The business done has been very limited,
Superior descriptions of colonial, however, realise full
prices.
RlOE.—There have been no public sales, and in the
private market business continues inactive, at about former
rates.

-TALLOW:The dealings have been to a moderate ex-
tent, but chiefly of a speculative character, and quotations
for both present and forward delivery exhibit a material
alteration.

GREEN FRUlT.—Market has been better supplied with
oranges. Some parcels St. Michael, Terceira, Valencia,
and Sicily, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went
at good prices, although the St. Michael fruit was landed
in bad condition. Lemons firm, without alteration in
value. Nuts of all kinds in moderato demand. Seville
omrti cleared off the market ; Palermo in request.

BRIDGENORTH ELECTION.

Mr. ELLICE brought up the report of the committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the return of Sir John Acton, Bart.,
as member for Bridgenorth, which stated that the com-
mittee found that the hon. baronet had not been duly
elected, while Mr. H. Whitmore was duly elected. Mr.
Ellice also informed the house that the result had been
brought about by two votes having been struck off the
number recorded on behalf of Sir J. Acton, which thus gave
the majority to Mr. Whitmore.. Bribery had been com-
mitted in the interest of Sir John Acton, but not with his
knowledge or with the consent of his agents.

THE AMENDMENT TO THE REFORM BILL.

WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN THE MINISTRY.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in
moving the adjournment of the house, that it would be con-
venient that he stated the determination the Government
had come to with respect to the franchise bill. The hon.
member for Bridgewater had the following question on the
paper for the evening, "whether, in the course of the
Easter recess, the Government will take into consideration
the expediency of proceeding by resolutions towards a
settlement of the questions relating to the representation
of the people " He would at once say that the
Government would persevere with the bill that
had been introduced in pseference to proceeding by
resolution. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the amendment
of the noble earl the member for Chester, he had to say
that he entertained the highest respect for the noble earl,
but movers and motions were two very different things.
Tho Government would to the utmost resist that motion,
in the first place because it was their opinion that it said
one thing and meant another (hear, hoar, from the
Ministerial side of the house) and, in the second,
because they looked upon it as a directvote of want of con-
fidence in the Government. (Loud Opposition cheers.)
With respect to the motion of the hon. member for Bridg-
water, it was the intention of the Government to deal with
the matter of the franchise for Ireland and Scotland, and
also with the subject of the redistribution of seats.
(Cheers.) After the second reading of the Franchise Bill,
bills for Ireland and Scotland, and the other matter /e
had mentioned, would be laid on the talale-(cheers)
it was not at that time intended to proceed withtien_
them,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Un-
questionably.
Mr. DISRAELI thought by placing bills on the table
which it was not their intention of proceeding with the
Government was trifling with the house. (Loud cheering
from the Opposition.)

Tho motfon for the adjournment of the house at its
rising to the 9th of April was then agreed to.

Mr. BOUVERIE brought up the report of the committee
appointed to try the merits of this election petition.
The committee had come to the conclusion that
Mr. John Pender was not duly elected, but that Mr.
Alfred Seymour was duly elected. That John Fender had
been guilty of bribery by offering to obtain a place or
appointment for an elector named Harris. That
the election was a void election as far as John Pender
was concerned. That gross bribery had taken place at the
last election, and that corruption had been shown to exist
for a long time in the borough.

General. 'Sir GEORGE very justly,
that the mr tuber of architects selected was too few,
and that it gave an idea of jobbery and unfairness,
though no. thing of the kind might be intended. Mr.
TITE, folle wing up the attack, said that he did not
wonder ..at the anxiety, and even at the suspicion,
created ;by the small number of competitors, for
although .the suspicion of jobbery was perfectly out
of the que.:tion, still the number of six competitors
was so extremely limited that it certainly led the
members of the architectural profession to think
that a foreg one conclusion had been acted
upon. Mr. TITE added very sensibly that
the question of expense in conducting the
competition was hardly worth talking about,
for he thought the country, when an expenditure
of some £700,000 or £BOO,OOO was involved, would
never grudge an extra £3,000 or £4,000 to se-
cure the best man to do the work. This is the prin-
ciple on which the Government should act. A
really national undertaking should be carried out in
a national spirit, not with a professed regard for
economy, or with deference to the tastes or
prejudices of a clique, but in an enlarged
and liberal manner, which shall do jus-
tice alike to the requirements of the public,
the dignity of the occasion, and the outlay
which we are prepared to make upon it
If the best we can do to secure the assistance o

men of zeal, ability, and independence, is to ap-
point officially half-a-dozen competitors, and put
four Ministers to decide between them, it does not
say much for the method of our Government in
such matters, or for the chance which unknown and

unbefriended talent has of making its way in this

country. If the country, said one of the speakers,
last evening, contained an 1.,L0n -Thm.c or a

CirPTc,nrxr.n. WREN, there would be no need for
competition ; but unless those artists got the right
introduction in the right quarters, we strongly- sus-
pect their designs would stand a very poor chance.
