(SCOTLAND) No. 2 BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
A long discussion took place in reference to the maximum
salary of schoolmasters. In the clause relating to the
subject, the LORD ADVOCATE proposed that the maximum
should be £6O.
Mr. BOUVERIE moved, as an amendment, that the
sum be fixed at £7O.
The amendment was agreed to.
Clause 3 was amended and agreed to.
Clause 4 was struck out.
Claus• 5 was agreed to, after it had been amended.
Clause 6 was struck out.
On clause 7,

Mr. DUNLOP moved an amendment to the effect that
two members of the examining body, be Fellows of the
Educational Institute of Scotland.

The LORD ADVOCATE could not consent to the pro-
posed amendment.
Mr. DUNLOP said perhaps the addition of the words
"being graduates of the University" would remove the
objection of the Lord Advocate.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—MoNDAY.

For the Cumberland Plate, early in the day, there was a
very strong demonstration made in favour of Russley,
which lasted until his friends had taken 5 to 2 about him,
and everything else receded. 3to 1 was freely offered against
Joey Jones, but later on Russley became quite friendless,
and Joey resumed his position of favourite, while Prologue
and Prince of Denmark were very freely supported. Any
price was offered against Doefoot or Underhand. A little
was done on Elector at 2 to 1, and Tolurno at 5 to 1 for the
July Stakes, and 300 to 200 were taken about Optimist and
Mon Etoile (coupled) for the Goodwood Cup. There were
two or three attempts to back The Wizard, but no higher
offer than 6 to 1 being made it was declined,
