CONN BILL.

In answer to a question from an Hon. Member,
Sir IL PEEL, said, he purposed proceeding with the Corn Bill
this day (Tuesday), if motions which had precedence should be
disposed of at a sufficiently early hour to afford him the opportunity.

QUEEN'S PRISON BILL.
This Bill went through Committee, and was read a third time.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned.

PANORAMA OF WATERLOO.
We attended yesterday a private view of this Pano-
rama, which is One of the most interesting that Mr.
Burford has yet painted. The sketch—we quote the
words of the artist's description—" is taken from the
plateau in the rear of the farm of La Haye Sainte, near
the spot from whence the Duke of Wellington directed
the operations during most of the day. Immediately in
the front, and partly in the hollow, stands the farm
and its dependencies, being the advance of the left
• centre of the Allies, and, the scene of the fiercest con-
tentions. The road to Genappe passes the farm, and
ascends the opposite heights to the French position at
La Belle Alliance. A stunted hedge bounding each
side of a narrow cross road, runs • from Ter la
Haye,. in the hollow on the left, where the
British left wing terminated, and joins the
<>Tee road near the Duke of Wellington's tree; -
be-
hind this hedge the fifth division were formed. Fur-
ther to the east, the prospect is hounded by the Woods
near Frischermont, from which the Prussians issued
on the right flank of the French. Towards the right
the chateau and small wood of Hougoumont, the most
advanced post of the right centre of the British, is
seen closely approximating the French line, an impor-
Lint position • commanding the whole of the right
wing, repeatedly attacked and successfully defended
by the Foot Guards. Further to the right is the road
to Nivelles from Brussels • Merbe Braine, where the
extreme right were posted, protected by the enclosed
ground and deep ravines ; and further west in the
distance, Braine In Leude. • The opposite heights,
f:om right to left, formed the position ef the French
army, tne most conspicuous object being the house
called La Belle Alliance, Bonaparte's head-quarters,
near which he remained all the early part of the day.
In the rear of the British is the village .of Mont St.
Jean ; at a greater distance 'Waterloo, and the forest
of Soignics, intersected by the road from Charleroi to
Brussels, bounds the prospect. The time represented
is that when the Guards, having delivered their fire,
commence charging the Imperial columns, and the
Duke gives the word for the whole army to
advance." Of course his Grace is the most con-
spicuous figure in the Panorama. He is represented
on horseback in the foreground, with his hat off,
waving his men on to the last decisive charge, and
surrounded by a brilliant staff. The groupe about
him is a very effective one, and is the first marked ob-
ject that strikes the eye on entering. At a short dis-
tance off appears a small knot of French military
officers, standing apparently quite inactive on a gentle
eminence. This groupe consists of Napoleon and one
or two attendants, who are watching the movements
of the Imperial Guard, who have just received orders
to advance on the enemy. The struggle between
them and the English cavalry, who are led on by the
Earl of Uxbridge, is ponrtrayed with great animation.
The distances of the picture are also cleverly defined;
and, indeed, the whole scene is so accurately sketched,
and the colouring so vivid, that the spectator will
gather from it an excellent idea of the most remark-
able battle that has been fought in modern times.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALLS.—YESTERDAY.
In the course of the afternoon, the 2,00 C) Guinea Stakes,
}ester Cap, arnd Oaks, were touched upon occasionally, but
tie weight of the business, which was very animated, turned
upon the Derby, and in some instances with marked effect.
Atti a and Chatham were not ip any request., and the prices
quoted against them must be received as purely nominal;
the latter, indeed, was so far from be►ng in force,
that 500 to 400 was laid on Wiseacre against
him. The most prominent favourites were Auckland,
Wiseacre, The Lord of Holdernesse, Espartero, and
Palinurus : the first of this lot was backed repeatedly at 17 to
1, 1,000 to 60, and 16 to 1 ; the second. at 25, 23, and in one
instance at 21 to 1; the third freely at 33 and Si) to 1 ; and the
two next, in several quarters, at 1,000 to 25, and, in more than
one, at five points less. The Dirce colt, and Robert de Gorham
declined, and Canadian, the Acacia colt and Meteor, although
backed, were scarcely in such good odour as when we last re-
ported the movements at the corner. Lasso and the Joanna
colt were supported with considerable energy by three or four
parties, but left off pretty nearly as they opened.
leyond a bet of 500 to 201) against Wiseacre, for the 2,000
Guinea Stakes; 30 to 1 agst Dark Susan, and 18 to 1 agst Sir
G. Heatheote's lot (both in fifties) for the Oaks, and a few ten
and twenty pound bets on the Chester Cup, there was nothing
else of importance. At a later period than usual the odds
closed as under :—.

TEE KlRK.—Another blow :
gtven on Thursday
to the Assumed power of the Generalwas
Assembly, by the Su.
preme Court. The Cutealmond (41 wthich has been
before the Court for some time,
tame
theon for judg-
ment, and the first Division Judges, u
exception of
Lord Fullerton, expressed their opinions in fav
Pres-
bytery of Garioch, and reserved the interlocutor of If the
.ord Ivory;
incompetent
interdicted the proceedings of the Commission as i
and illegal; and reserved for further consideration, the
raised as to whether the Commission be legally a Coulituoesftian
h
Church. The Court was crowded dui ing the delivery of theirte
Lordships' opinions. —.Edinburgh Chronteie of Saturday.
A rumour is abroad, but we. vouch not for its au-
thenticity, that a Noble Marquis of extensive notoriety, and of
great repute in the sister kingdom, wi11,,,,re long, be united to
•,ae who is laid to be as difficult to please as she has been uni-
versally sought.

•••••••••••• ;WC charge' that be had not vindicated his machinery,
and be protested against being called upon to vindicate it without
the Bill being before the House. There were fifty or sixty clauses
relating to the machinery, and it would be preposterous to enter
into details in a speech. He had stated fully quite sufficient for
every and any purpose, what the machinery of the Bill was, and
respecting the details, no specit could give half such satisfactory
information regarding them as . the reading the Bill itself. If he
were to begin now a speech explanatory of those details, it would
be a much more effectual method of thinning the House than any
other tom could be adopted.—(Laughter.)
• The CHAIRMAN then put the question, that he do report
progress, which was agreed to, and the House resumed.
