TA.TTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

Very few bookmakers had quitted town for Newcastle,
a large majority of turfites reserving themselves for the
three gatherings in Hampshire. The room was, there-
fore, numerously attended, and a good show of businePs
was presented. The actual transactions, however, were
limited, but there was sufficient "talking" to excite both
curiosity and attention. The advance of Mongrel to 5
to 1 for the Northumberland Plate produced no prejudi-
cial effect on Skirmisher, who was backed freely at i to
4 and 6to IF. Vandal was the only other animal in de.
'Rand for this event. 3to 1 was offered on the field for
the St. Leger; 10 to 1 to 125/. was taken about Arsenal,
20 to 1 to 1501. about Adamas, and 50 to 1 to 100 i. about
Athlete ; 500 tq, 400 was laid against Ignoramus and
Blink Bonny coupled, and 100 even on Ignoramus„
Blink Bonny, and Adamas " mixed."
The other quotations do not require comment.

in Scotland, praying that the 40s. fraechise which pre-
vailed in England should be extended to Scotland.
The Earl of DONOUG HMORE presented a petition
against the Joint• Stock Compani,s Amendment Bill,
from the shareholders in the Tipperary Bank, and pray-
ing to be heard at the bar apalost the bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the prayer of the
petition could net be heard at their lordships' bar. If
such a request was granted, it would be setting a very
bad precedent.

petitions against the grant to Maynooth.
THE OPIUM TRADE.

The Earl of SHAFTESBITRYLieTthe cause of the
delay in ascertaining the opinion of the law officers of
the Crown with respect to the legality of the opium
treaty.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said the point upon
which an opinion was to be taken had been drawn up
and forwarded to the Court of Directors of the East In-
eia Company, with a view of ascertaining whether the
facts were clearly stated. The directors made certain
corrections, which of course involved delay. Tne ques-
tion had been suspended for 80E110 time, but be could
assure the noble 19rd that there was no inclination on
the part of the Government or Court of Directors to
create unnecessary delay.
