TATTERSALLS'-( THIS EVENING.)

The members dispersed early, in order to catch the 5 p.m.
train for Liverpool. The betting was marked by some
briskness, but there were no new or important features.
For the Liverpool Steeplechase renewed support was
accorded to The Brewer, whose price at the close
was 3to 1 with takers. Ghika returned to favour, and
although 10 to 1 was offered against him, odds a point
higher were taken with avidity. Little Charley, Jealousy,
and Jean du Quesne receiNed a tolerable degree of support
at the odds quoted. For the Spring Cup Aneurin was in
" force," at 5 to 1; indeed, nearly every bookmaker
at the close of business was "full against" Mr. Merry's
colt. Ambush and Broadlands were, for the most
part of the afternoon, neck and neck in the betting,
but at last Ambush was the best favourite. But
one or two investments were made on the Darby-20
to 1 was taken to a pony about Merryman, and Volcano
was backed for £lOO at the price given below. Viking
was once more in bad odour, as the " knocking out" prick
quoted will testify.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

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

MANNING THE NAVY.

The Earl of HARDWICKE laid on the table the rea-
sons of Mr. Lindsay for not signing the report of the Com-
mission on Manning the Navy.

THE PAPAL STATES.
The Earl of CLARENDON begged to draw the atten-
tion of his noble friond the Secretary for Foreign Affairs
to a discrepancy in a statement he had made in that house
on one made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the
other house of Parliament on Friday last. The Chancellor of
the Exchequer stated that the French and Austrian Govern-
ments were willing to evacuate the Papal States, and that the
Papal Government was anxious that such a movement
should be made. His noble friend on Friday stated that at
no distant date the French and Austrian troops would
be withdrawn at the request of the Papal Government.
Ho thought that although both parties might wish to with-
draw their troops, they would be restrained from so doing
by neither being aware of the exact wish of the other,
nor of their line of conduct. He wished, therefore,
to know the exact information in the possession of
the Government, that no discrepancy might mar the effect
of the discussion.

Lord MALMESBURY said he was very glad to give all
the information in his power, but the noble earl's observa-
tions with respect to what he termed discrepancy,
seemed to assume a distinction without a differ-
ence. (Hear, hear.) His honourable friend and
himself meant the same thing. The knowledge they
both possessed was that the Papal Government requested,
of its own accord,. the evacuation of its territory by the
French and Austrian troops, and he could not seo any
excuse for the French and Austrian troops remaining for a
sin'le day after such an announcement. He had seen the
French ambassador since the discussion on Friday, and he
stated that his Government were quite willing to evacuate
the Italian territory.

Lord BROUGIIAM asked the noble earl if he could in-
form him as to the object of the immense warlike prepara
tions which were being made by a neighbouring power, and
which, as was well known to most of their lordships, was
the real cause of the anxiety which was felt in Europe/ Ho
did not suppose there was any just reason for alarm, since
the noble earl and his colleagues, notwithstanding these war-
like preparations had found time for the preparation of a
measure for Parliamentary Reform.

The Earl of MALMEgBURY said the information he
had received was to the euect tnat tnere was no real grounu
for alarm on account of the warlike preparations alluded to
by his noble and learned friend. The preparations were not
being carried on to a greater extent than was actually
necessary for the preservation of peace.
Lord BROUGHAM said the answer was perfectly satis-
factory.
DEBTOR AND CREDITOR BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading
of this bill.

Lord ST. LEONARDS objected to the bill on the ground
that consolidation was not carried out so fully as it ought
to be. He thought that the bill he had introduced last
session was far better than the ono at present under consi-
deration.

[LEFT SITTING.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tins EVENING).
The SPEAKER took tho chair at four o'clock.

A short time previously a number of members assembled,
and the house was nearly filled by the time the business
commenced, in consequence of the anxiety felt to learn the
details of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Bill on Par-
liamentary Reform. The strangers' gallery was also
crowded, and the house presented a very animated appear-
ance.

NEW MEMBER.
Mr. EDWIN JAMES took the oaths and his seat for Mary-
lebone.
