" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN..

The frightful accident on the Versailles and Paris Railway,
and the burning of Hamburgh, are the only topics of interest
in the Foreign Journals received this morning.

PARLIAMENTARY.

Several Bills were forwarded a stage in the House of Lords
last night, and, amongst them, the Copyright Bill was read a
second time. The discussion is to take place on the Bill being
committed.

Lord Brougham moved the second reading of his Indemnity
Bill, and warmly defended the conduct of the Lords in muti-
lating the Bribery Bill sent up from the Commons last session.
He did not press his motion, on its being pointed out to him that
he ought to have given not ice of his intention to move the se-
cond reading of the Bill.
Lord Clifford of Chudleigh drew their Lordships' attention
to the condition of the Catholics in the Presidency of Madras,
but declined to move for a Committee to inquire into the sub-
ject, becauie he believed the Government would pay proper at-
tention to it.

the Commons, Mr. P. Howard moved that a new writ
should be issued for Nottingham, Mr. Roebuck opposed the
motion. Sir Robert Peel having also declared against it, the
motion was withdrawn.

Mr. Redington moved for leave to bring in a Bill to disfran-
chise Sudbury, and gave a description of the bribery and cor-
ruption.in that borough. There was no opposition to the
, motion and the Bill was ordered to be brought in. . .

In an elaborate speech, which lasted two hours and a half,
Sir Robert Peel explained the principle, and justified many of
the details, of the tariff.
Mr. Labouchere followed, and stated, at some length, why
he preferred the Whig commercial reform to that proposed by
Sir Robert Peel. At the same time, he gave his approbation
to many parts of the tariff.
From the Opposition Sir Robert received a good deal
of praise, from his own side very cold support. There was a
little dispute, too, as to who were the best free-traders.
Lord Howick withdrew for the present his motion about
colonial duties, t 5 renew it on the next opportunity.
Major Vivian moved for the suppressed passages of Mr.
Meek's Report.• It was admitted that there were suppressed pas-
sages, but the Tories insisted that the fact could only have been
known by a gross breach of confidence. A warm, though a
short, debate ensued, Mr. Matthias Attwood and other Tories
supporting the motion, which ended by a division, when the
motion was lost by 67. The House went into Committee pro
forma, and it was settled that the tariff should be proceeded
with on Friday next. The third reading of the Income-tax
Bill will not take place till after the Whitsun holidays.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.
TUESDAY.

It is so many years since this meeting "drew," that however
good the list might have been, we should not have expected an
average company ; it is clear, indeed, that to abandon it alto-
gether would be to save 2001. of the Club money, and 1001. of
the Town fund, without in the slightest degree affecting the
interests of the inhabitants, or exciting a single regret on the
part of their patrons. The "state of affairs" at the closing of
this parcel will prove that we have not " presumed beyond our
last,' in suggesting the propriety of giving up a profitless meet-
ing. There are not one-third of the usual visitors, and the
racing would be altogether unimportant but for the appearance
of the celebrated Irish " star," Ballinkeele, in the R.M. Plate,
for which, by the way, neither Meteor nor Tiptoe were entered
as reported at " the Corner" on Monday. Of that and the
other events we subjoin the results:—
