(PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
The entries for the races at Liverpool, which I was
not in possess ion of when I wrote 3 esterday, being now
published, a few remarks upcn them may not be unac-
ceptable.
For the Croxteth Stakes there are eleven animals
named, and out of them I expect to see at the post Vau-
deville, The Shadow, Alamode, Mid-Lothian, and Lan-
caAire Witch. _ _

This will be the first appearance of the Lancashire
Witch since her defeat fur the Oaks, and will give her
an opportunity of redeeming the character she lost at
Epsom. As she has had a long rest, and the weight on
her being very favourable, I expect to see her announced
as the winner. Corranna and fhe Shadow will, I have
no doubt, make a good tight of it for second.
To the Maiden Plate there are six subscribers, and, as
far as public running is any criterion of an animal's
merit, Lord Eglinton's Bretwalda should be able to beat
the others with little difficulty.
For the Queen's Plate, I do not expect Lothario will
start. Bretwalda and the Slane colt will never live the
distance. Midlothian must be too sore from her recent
running, I think, to enable her to get her head in front
of old horses like the Shadow and Arcanus. Poussin is
a very moderate animal. The merits of Dr. Wood mid
Jack Palmer are, I imagine, known only to their owners.
Pug's chance is by no means a despicable one, and to her
and the old Shadow I leave the race, with a strong pre-
ference fur the latter, as she has won more Queen's
Plates than any mare in England, with the exception of
Alice Hawthorn.

The Stanley Stakes will be one of the most interesting
races of the meeting. The entry ir.cludes Pluto, the
best two-) ear•old out last year, seeing that he beat the
Cure and Ratan at Richmond, and, at Nottingham,
Sweatmeat, Stitch, and Rowena ; Lancashire Witch,
another capital two-year-old performer ; Hope,
the second in this year's Oaks, and Lord Harry, a colt
with some pretensions to speed, and a pretty good win-
ner this season; and although Pug, Hope, and the Witch,
by the conditions of the race, receive 21b., still, I think
if Pluto is in his two-year-old form, and starts, we shall
hear of him as the winner. If he does not go, why,
then, I lean to Hope.
The Selling Stakes looks a certainty for Poussin.

CRICKET.
KENT V. ALL ENGLAND.

This match was yesterday brought to a conclusion by a
result which compelled all the backers of Kent to hand over
their bets. The county lost the match by 80 runs, scoring
but 94 in their second innings, a eircumstance which may in
a great measure be attributed to the absence of Mr. Felix,
until just as the then last wicket was going in. He came
upon the ground, however, in time to take his place in front
of the stumps as the tenth instead of the fourth or fifth man,
but then when Mr. Harenc had lost his wicket there was
only Hillyer to join him. The latter kept up for some time
and scored five, during which period Mr. Felix ran up a total
of 15, most of which were obtained by some beautiful hits to
the " leg" off Lillywhite. For these he marked a four, two
threes, two twos, and a one. Hillyer having been caught by
Dean, Sir. Felix carried out his bat amid the applauses of
the numerous assemblage on the ground.
During the progress of the match there was much fine
batting and play, and much most excellent bowling, but it
was, after all, one of the " slowest" matches we remember to
have seen for many years. This was mainly occasioned by
the heaviness of the ground, which prevented any liveliness
in the ball, whilst to the same cause may be attributed the
almost total absence of any brilliant hitting. The most
livel7 hitting was yesterday by Martin and Mr. Felix, each
of whom made his score in a comparatively short time. The
former as well as the latter was amazingly good to the" leg."
Dorrinton, too, made some excellent but not brilliant hits,
whilst Pilch, who appeared to be labouring under indisposi-
tion, played steadily, and fetched two fours, two threes, and
a two, but there was none of that sparkling hitting which
was wont to arouse the plaudistical feelings of the spectators.
At the termination of the match the score stood thus

HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 16.
LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday,)

On clause 57 being proposed,
Mr. B. SHERIDAN considered that it ought to be ex-
pnnged.
The clause, after a short discussion, was agreed to, as were
clauses from 55 to 88, with a few verbal amendments.
On clause S 9 being read, which enacted that no person (ex-
cept a person deriving no profit on a Committee) should take
charge of a single lunatic, except upon such order and medical
certificates as provided by the Act and under certain regu-
lations.
Mr. C. WYNN congratulated his Noble Friend ( Lord
Ashley) and the Committee on accomplishing that which was
so much called for, and had so often before been attempted un-
successfully.
Mr. WAKLEY approved of the clause, but regretted that
it did not go much further. He had known cases where per-
sons had been kept in a room for years, and no person allowed
to go near them except the keel:en
The clause was agreed to with a few verbal amendments, as
were also the clauses up to 112.
On Clause 113 being proposed, which exempted Bethlehem
Hospital from the operation of the Bill,
Mr. H AWES objected to such exemption. If they
exempted Bethlehem, why not St. Luke's. The Honourable
Member concluded by moving the omission of the clause.
Lord ASHLEY agreeing to the proposition, the clause was
struck out.
The remaining clauses were then agreed to, as were also the
schedules with some verbal amendments ; the Bill as amended
was ordered to be printed, and the report was ordered to be
received on Friday next.
DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL.
The Drainage ( Ireland) Bill went through Committee.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE moved the insertion of the follow-
ing clause :—" That in every case where a portion exceeding
one-third and not exceeding one half in extent of the land pro-
posed to be drained or improved, as mentioned in the said re-
cited Act, either alone and independently of or in connexion
with the navigation of such river, or part of a river, as mentioned
in the said Act, shall belong to one proprietor, and
such proprietor shall refuse or neglect to assent to
the execution of the works for such proposed drainage or im-
provement during such time as the Commissioners under the
said recited Act shall appoint ; and the proprietor of the rest of
such land, if there shall be but one such, or the proprietors
thereof, if there shall be more than one such, shall assent to
the execution thereof, by writing under their hands, it shall
be lawful for the said Commissioners, if they shall think fit, to
cause such works to be executed, and otherwise to act in all
re.peet s as if the assent of such proprietor who shall refuse or
neglect to assent to the execution of the said works
as aforesaid, had been given in writing under • his
hand, within such time as aforesaid. Provided always,
and be it enacted, that the said Commissioners shall
not exercise the discretion given to them by this Ac
unless they are satisfied, and shall so certify, that they contem-
plate the improvements shall yield at least 61. per cent. profit
on the money to be expended."
Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE opposed the clause, believ-
ing that its introduction would make a most important altera-
tion in the principle of the Bill.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE withdrew the clause, and the
report was ordered to be received to-morrow.
VALUATION (IRELAND) BILL. _ _ _

Sir T. FREMANTLE moved that the House should go
into Committee on this Bill.
An HoN. MEMBER moved that the House be counted, and
there not being 40 Members present the House adjourned at
Half-past Four o'clock till to-morrow at Twelve o'clock.
There were only 23 Members present.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF DUNMORE.—We regret to
announce the demise of the above nobleman, who expired on
Tuesday afternoon, at Hill House, Streatham, where his Lordship
had recently been residing for the benefit of his health, which for
some time past has been in a declining state. The deceased, Alex-
ander Edward Murray Earl of Dunmore, Viscount Fincastle, and
Lord Murray of Blair, Moulin, and Tillemot, in the Peerage of
Scotland, and Baron Dunmore, of Dunmore, in the Forest of
Athol, county of Perth, in that of the United Kingdom, was the
eldest son of the fifth Earl, by Lady Susan Hamilton, third daughter
of Archibald, ninth Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, now Countess
Dowager. He was born en the let of June, 1804, and succeeded
on the 11th of November, 1836, having married, on the 27th of
September previous, Lady Catherine Herbert, fourth daughter of
George Augustus, eleventh Earl of Pembroke, a lady of the
Queen's bedchamber, by whom he has left issue, two daughters,
the Ladies Susan and Constance, born respectively in 1837 and
1838, and one son, Charles Adolphus Viscount Fincastle, born
24th of March, 1841, who succeeds to the family honours and
estates.

CUSTOM- HOUSE SALES.—A question having been
raised respecting the officers of the revenue assuming the duties of
an auctioneer, at the sales by auction at the various ports throughout
the kingdom, at stated periods, of goods of various kinds which
have been wrested from smugglers, or seized in consequence of
some informality with regard to their importation and entry, or for
being undervalued or otherwise, and which as respects London
took place once a quarter at the Commercial Sale.rooms, Mincing-
lane, as to whether such officers should be required to take out
licenses to enable them to perform the duties required of them in
that capacity, the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury have made
a communication to the Board of Excise, which has been trans-
mitted to the collectors and comptrollers of Customs throughout
the kingdom, for their information arid government,—that they do
not think it expedient that the officers employed in conducting sales
by auction, under the directions of the Commissioners of Customs,
should be required to take out auction licenses for such purpose.

HOUSE OF LORDS•

°X"31159 tEtWACIESTER, AND WOLVER,

HAMPTON Ezzlivr kor.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday;)

On the termination of Mr. Austin's address, the Committee re-
tired to deliberate, during which period there was considerable
anxiety manifested as to the motive of their Lordships, and lest
they were about to consider the propriety of deciding on the case
without further evidence. This suspense was put an end to by the
return of the Committee in about a quarter of an hour, when
The Noble CHAIRMAN called on the counsel for the opposition
to examine the first witness for their case.

Mr. TALBOT said that before his Learned Friend, Mr. Sergeant
Wrangham, called his witness, he wished it to be settled as to the
course the opposing parties intended to take. Mr. Austin, who
appeared for the London and Birmingham, and the Birmingham and
Gloucester Companies, and also for several mineral proprietors, had
stated his course clear enough ; but there were other opponents to
the Bill, certain landed proprietors, and it would be well to know
the order in which their examination was to be allowed.

The Noble CHAIRMAN said it was not the intention of the Com-
mittee to allow the counsel for the petitioners referred to to do
more than examine witnesses on the allegations set forth in the
petitions. They would restrict them to the matters which had
been complained of, and allow of nothing further.
Mr. HILL said he was perfectly satisfied with that—he had no
desire to claim more.

Mr. WHATELEY and the other counsel expressed themselves to
a similar effect.

The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with.
Mr. Richard Smith, mineral agent for Lord Ward, at Dudley,
was first examined as to the traffic of the district, the number of
blast furnaces, the annual mineral produce, the difference of gauges,
&c., &c., the evidence being in substance precisely the same as that he
gave before the Commons' Committee. He generally expressed himself
favourable to the Tring scheme in preference to the Great Western,
principally on account of the breakage of gauge, and the tranship-
ment of coal. He also put in some tables, on which he was exa-
mined at some length.

In his cross.examination, he admitted that as far as the most
important part of the mineral district was concerned—that between
Dudley and Wolverhampton—the Great Western line had the
lowest levels, and would afford the greatest amount of accommoda-
tion to the works.

The Committee then adjourned till tomorrow at eleven o'clock.

THE SCOTTISH /VIIIMAND ItAILWAY.

IMPORTAIS
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. ANDREWS, on behalf of the trustees of certain turnpike
roads, proposed the insertion of a clause for compensation for injury
done to the roads, and also to secure the trustees from loss on
money advanced for improving the loads, by the passage of the rail-
way along and across them. The clause was embodied in the
General Act for Scottish RailwaYs'ovhich had not yet received the
royal assent, and had been proposed to be inserted in several Scotch
railway Acts which had been passed during the present session.
Mr. HOPE, in reply, said that the trustees were not entitled to
compensation in the manner proposed by the clause. The tolls on
the roads would be rather increased than diminished by the railway,
and, for any physical damage occasioned to the roads by altering the
level, or in other ways, the Company were willing to make ample
compensation. He would contend against the admission of a specific
clause f.,rcompensation, as it would be included in the " General
Act" when passed.
The room was then cleared. On the readmission of strangers,—
The NOBLE CHAIRMAN said the Committee were of opinion that
the clause should not be inserted ; but, on a point of so much im-
portance, they considered that the matter should be referred to the
House of Lords itself for a special decision. It would be, therefore,
perfectly competent to the opponents of the Bill, on the Bill being
reported to the House, to instruct any Noble Lord to move the in-
sertion of the proposed clause.
The remaining clauses were then gone through, the Bill was
ordered to be reported, and the Committee broke up.

TILE CORNWALL RAILWAY.
The Committee met at eleven o'clock, the Earl of Ellenborough
in the chair.
Mr. Gurney, a magistrate of Cornwall, gave evidence against the
projected line, and in favour of a central one, which he thought
would be far more conducive to the welfare not only of the county
of Cornwall but of Devonshire. This was the opinion of some of
the most influential and respectable men in bath shires. The wit-
ness went into the engineering evidence, which has been already
detailed.
Mr. ROWE handed in a section showing the gradients and curves
on the proposed line.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE objected to the production of this docu-
ment, inasmuch as it was not the regular official document.
A long discussion ensued between Counsel, and the Noble
Chairman at length decided that the Committee could not receive
the section, as the curves and gradients in it were not laid down
upon the same scale, and as it was not in any respect an exact copy
of that which Parliament had sanctioned.
The evidence of Mr. Gurney was proceeded with. He thought
the gradients upon the Cornwall line of a dangerous character. He
thought Lady Bassett was favourable to a central line.
Mr. Sergeant RINGLAKE—Why, Sir, do you not know that Lady
Bassett has shares in this line to the amount of between 9,0001.
and 10,000/. ?
Mr. Gurney—l do not know that, but I have heard it. 1 be-
lieve her Ladyship is favourable to any line of railway.
Cross.examination continued—The chief amount of traffic was
carried on along the south coast, Thought it very questionable
that the larger amount of population was on the south coast. There
was a large mining district along the south coast, and so there was
on the north coast Ikewise.
Mr. Avery, a merchant and shipowner residing in Cornwall, was
next called—Owned several mines and granaries there. Imported
a vast deal of timber from America ; imported from the southern
coast of Cornwall and from Plymouth. Was well acquainted with
the commercial interests of Devon and Cornwall. Thought a line
from Falmouth to Exeter would be highly beneficial. A line from
Penryn to Falmouth would be greatly to the interest of both places.

AT BALLINHASSIG.
Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P.,arrlved in Cerkon Saturday morn •
ing, by the Vanguard steamer, and proceeded to attend the Inquest
at Ballinha,sig.
On the re assembling of the jury on that Morning; the case on
the part of the police implicated in this disastrous affray com-
menced,
Mr. ScANNeLt addressed the jury on behalf of the accused. He
said it was undeniable that the police were at the fair for a lawful
purpose. That man of whom they had heard so much, called
Ranter, was unquestionably, upon that occasion, placed in such a
position, even upon the evidence given for the prosecution, that it
was impossible for them to be deluged into the notion that he was
not about to commit a riot. He had no hesitation in saying that
the truth was frightfully suppressed. After a few other obser-
vations, the Learned Counsel adverted at length to the nature
of the evidence he had to produce, and concluded by calling his
witnesses.
Mr. WALSH—Whom do you call ? Mr. ScssrsELL—Sub•con-
stable Hickson.
Mr. WALSII—Is this one of the parties accused here of wilful
murder? Mr. SCANNELL-It is one of the police force who was
present on the evening in question.
Mr. WALstf—Oh, we protest against such a course as that.
After the matter had been argued at some length,
The CORONER said he would take the course adopted at Ra.h.
cormac, which was never called in question; he would admit the
evidence.
Mr. WALstr—Then I shall look upon the rest of this investiga-
tion as nothing short of a mockery. I would retire altogether only
my duty compels me to remain here.
Police.constable Richard Hickson was then called—He deposed
that the mob were crushing in on the police to rescue theprisoner ;
that at the commencement of the affray there were 200 or 300 of
them closing In on the police ; that the Sub. inspector Kelly told
them to stand back and not crush in, en which they commenced
throwing stones ; that the police fixed bayonets and charged, when
the stones flew faster than before ; that on their retreat to the dis-
pensary they were ordered to prime and load ; that Kelly implored
the people to retire, or he should be obliged to order the men to
fire ; that while speaking to them he received a blow in the face
from a stone ; that the police then asked Mr. Kelly if he meant to
let them be killed, and asked permission to fire; that the first
shots were fired through the window and door; that the mob were
on the roof throwing stones through it at the police, by which many
were hurt. Then the second firing took place; the men did not
go outside to fire at all. fie considered the police were in immi.
nent danger all the time they were in the Dispensary.
A little boy named Homigan deposed to seeing a large crowd at
the Dispensary screeching in a horrible manner, flinging stones,
and flourishing sticks.
The Court then adjourned to Monday.

This table shows the superior advantages of 'IC
investment in a new country, the resources of which are
in a state of progressive development, over these which
the old countries of the continent of Europe can offer.
The only reason why United States' investments are less
sought after, is the doubt which at present attaches to the
solvency and good faith of American States. The com-
pany formed in Canada to construct a railroad from Mon-
treal, its capital, to the Atlantic at Portland, promises to
combine the high rate of United States returns, with
the certainty of English investment; for the Company
is locally resident within the limits of British juris-
diction. This railway is in connexion, at its seaboard
terminus, with two of the railways quoted above
(Eastern Massachussets and Eastein Maine), and it
is proposed to extend and unite it with two more
of them (Lowell and Nashua). The rates of dividend
paid by these works form, therefore, a very good ground
for estimating those of the St. Lawrence and At-
lantic Railroad. They are, however, supported princi-
pally by local traffic, while the St. Lawrence and At-
lantic is calculated to become the channel of an exten-
sive foreign trade. It will form, during six months of the
year, the channel of communication for all Canada East
(with a population of 700,000, rapidly increasing),and for
a large portion of Canada West (the population and re-
sources of which are still more rapidly extending.)

This y scheme has received the warmest sup-
port in the colony (where one• sixth of the capital has
been alrefuly subscribed), and it has received in London
the sanction of the most eminent Canadian merchants.
It cannot prove otherwise than a profitable investment,
and will tend to accelerate incalculably the develop-
ment of the resources of Canada. It possesses an inte-
rest not only for the colonists, but for the vast numbers
who have friends and relations settled in Canada.
