THIRD EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

TATTERSALLS'-(THIS EVENING.)

Time was almost entirely occupied with the settlement
of the Liverpool accounts. The business of paying was
satisfactorily proceeded with, and demands were met with
a promptitude which would indicate that to the majority of
backers the recent meeting was "harmless."
For the Nottinghamshire Handicap Gladiolus was in
strong demand, as little as 6 to 4 being taken about him
during a portion of the afternoon ; 7 to 4 was, however,
his closing figure. The reek received feeble sup-
port at 6 to 1, while a strong disposition
was evinced to back Flitch, but the actual
transactions in her favour were not numerous. The
Northamptonshire betting was at a dead lock. Little
Agnes receded to 12 to 1 offered, and at those odds Shafto
found backers. For the Chester Cup, 9to 1 was currently
offered on the field ; 20 to 1 against Polestar was laid three
or four times. Volcano was in "great force" for the
Derby, and at the close of business ho was decidedly
second favourite. Gamester was advanced from an extreme
outside price to 25 to 1, with takers. 30 to 1 was offered
against Cavendish, and 28 to 1 was taken about Rainbow
The "feature" of the afternoon was, however, the advance
of Volcano, beyond this, speculation was particularly
inanimate.

VACCINATION.

The Earl of GRANVILLE called the attention of
their lordships to the defective state of the law with
respect to vaccination. The noble earl, in the course of his
remarks, referred to the report of the Registrar-General, in
which the deaths from smallpox for some time pissed
had increased to a very alarming extent. He thought that
if an inquiry into the subject of vaccination was instituted
very important results would follow. The noble earl con-
cluded by asking the noble marquis whether the Govern-
ment intended to take any steps with a view to render the
law more efficient than it was at present.
The Marquis of SALISBURY was understood:to say the
subject had not escaped the notice of the Government, and
as far as they had they power they would use it, but the
subject was one surrounded with great difficulty.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY regretted that vaccina-
tion was falling into disuse, and the deaths from small-pox
was greatly increasing. He knew there was a great ob-
jection amongst some persons with respect to having their
children vaccinated, as they imagined that other diseases
were brought on in consequence, but nothing could be more
erroneous. He was aware there was a strong feeling
against compulsory vaccination, but he thought it was a
mistaken one, and that some law ought to be introduced on
th subject. He agreed with the noble earl (Grenville) as
to the inefficiency of some of the public vaccinations, as he
knew of instances where they had altogether failed in the
performance of their duty.
Lord REDESDALE was also of opinion that some mea-
sure was absolutely necessary.
The Earl of GRANVILLE expressed his satisfaction
the noble earl (Salisbury) was fully alive to the importance
of the subject.

of the landing at Kingstown was not under the control of
Post-office, but that at Holyhead he had no doubt would
be finished during the present year.
E.Their lordships then adjourned.
