1000 to 15 agst Mr. Lintott's Cabin Boy—taken
10 to 1 agst Mentor, Pantasa, and Old England—taken.
An increased disposition to back Newsmonger was the only
noticeable feature in the speculations on this race; the price
quoted shows an improvement of three points. All the lead-
ing favourites were backed, and so many inquiries were made
about Mentor,lPantasa, and the Miss Whip colt, that we con-
fidently expect to see them cut a more prominent figure in the
returns. 1,000 to 25 was taken, in three or four places, about
the Minikin colt; the same, and 50 to 1, in fifties, about
Annandale ; 1,000 to 20, two or three times, about Anti-
Repealer; 1,000 to 15 each about Connaught Ranger, Young
Eclipse, and Cabin Boy ; 20 to 1 was taken about the Iron-
master, with a qualification, and 35 to 1 all in. The question
of qualification remains in abeyance.

Mr. Hibburd, the Clerk of the Course at Ascot Heath, was
on Saturday last appointed starter at Newmarket in the

rience in all the details of the race-course, will enable him to
prevent the irregularities that excited so much disapproba-
tion at the last October Meeting, and are not unlikely to lead
to his appointment to a similar office at Epsom, Doncaster,
and other great meetings.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1845,

The Lords met at Five o'clock.
Lord CAMPBELL laid a Bill on the table to improve
the administration of justice in Scotland.
Lord BEA.IIMONT laid a Bill on the table for awarding
compensation to the friends of persons killed by ac-
cident. _ _

A conversation then ensued on the subject of the
railway department of the Board of Trade, in the course
of which Lord BRoucneat expressed his dissatisfaction
with the constitution of the Board, and again alluded to
the O'BRIEN affair, on which subject the Earl of DAL-
HOUSIE refused to furnish any information, while the
Duke of WELLINGTON bore his personal testimony to
the high character of Mr. O'BRIEN. The House ad-
journed at six o'clock.
The House of Commons met at Four o'clock.
Various petitions were presented, and among the no-
tices of motion given was one by Mr. ROEBUCK, to ex-
empt professions, trades, and offices from the operation
of the Income-tax BilL
A question by Lord HowlcK gave rise to a lengthened
conversation on the subject of the Railway Committee of
the Board of Trade, in the course of which
Sir G. CLERK refused to lay before the House any

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF
TRADE ON RAILWAYS.

The following circular is issued by the authorised pub.
lishers of the Mznchester Weekly Share List :
" Whoever reads Lord Dalhousie's speech on the delivery
of the report of the Board of Trade to the House of Lords,
must see and understand clearly that the arrangements for
conducting the railway sehemes put before it, and the general
management in all respects, have been as well and as ho-
nourably conducted as it was possible to expect ; and that
all errors or mistakes arising from the conduct of indi-
vidual speculators, rest entirely with themselves ; for it is
notorious that the great influx of new schemes has brought
forward a host of the very worst class of capitalists, as share
speculators, putting themselves before the public in every
equivocal form to hurry on a crisis that bids fair to wind
up with very extensive disaster. If the rule recorded in the
oldest book—a book in every one's possession—be of any value,
the present is a fit period to respect it—' He that buildeth bis
house with other men's money, is like one that gathereth to
himself stones for the tomb of his burial." The safest prin-
ciple for all interests, and to avoid dangerous and unruly
speculations in scrip shares, will be for Parliament in future
to prohibit their circulation, by compelling subscribers to new
projects to keep the bankers' receipts till an Act is got, or re-
jected. When got, the holder of the receipt being the real
partner, becomes registered, and has his registered certifi-
cates delivered to him, with which he may trade as he
pleases, with the best safety to the public and himself. If
an application for an Act be rejected, the Directors should be
forced to return to the subscribers, on their presentation of
the bankers' receipt, the divisable part that remains after the
account is made up, and thus end all further liability ; other-
wise the litigation and delay that may be set up will fritter
away the fund to the hist
" The ga►nbling on foot at all the places wuere suave
busi-
ness has any away, is now prevailing to an unusual and
frightful extent, and cells fvr the most prudent caution, gt,

We ought to mention that a commission to lay against Semi-

only a momentary influence on her position, as no one would

BARNSLEY JUNCTION LINE.

The Committee on standing orders reported that the
order had been complied with on this line.
SHEFFIELD AND HUDDERSFIELD RAILWAY.

Petitions were presented for Bills for the formation of
the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway.
THAMES AND MEDWAY CANAL.

The report of the Committee on the Thames and Med-
way Canal Bill was brought up. The standing orders
had been complied with.

SUGAR DUTIES.

Sir W. CLAY gave notice that, on the House going
into Committee of Ways and Means, he should move an
amendment, to the effect that an ad valorem duty should
be imposed upon sugar.
COLONIAL ACCOUNTS.

Dr. BOWRING gave notice that, on the 11th March,
he should move a series of resolutions on the system of
making out the Colonial accounts:-Ist, that there
should be an uniform system of accounts for the Ex-
chequer receipts and payments of the several colonies;
2d, that there should be a statement of the whole
amount of the receipts and expenditure as they occurred,
without any distinction ; and, 3d, that the payments
into her Majesty's Exchequer should appear in no other
way for the future than as credits for disbursements on
payment into the Exchequer.
SUGAR DUTIES.

Mr. WILLIAMS said the Right Hon. Gentleman the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated that this after-
noon he would state when the sugar duties was to come
into operation. Would it be convenient to do so now ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that, considering all the circumstances of the case, he did
not see any ground for altering the time set down in the
resolution. _ _ _

Mr. WILLIAMS gave notice then, that he would
when the resolution was proposed, move that the re-
duction should begin on the Ist of April.—(Laughter.)
Mr WALLACE wished to know if any allowance
would be made to persons holding sugar in bound?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
understood to reply, that persons who had sugar in
bond would have to maintain it there until the duties
were remitted. If it were removed in the meantime,
of course the sugar would be liable to the duty.
The Hon. S. WORTLEY said it became important
then to know when the duty would be taken off. He
should be glad therefore to know when the resolutions
were likely to be agreed to ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished
it was in his power to give the Hon. Member the in-
formation he required. There were so many orders of
the day standing on the paper, that it was quite impos-
sible to say when the resolutions would receive the sanc-
tion of the House.

GLASS DUTIES.
Dr. BOWRING wished to put a question to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wished to know
whether, supposing the existing duties on glass were re-
moved, it Vf as his intention to repeal the duties on foreign
glass ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that if the Hen. Gentleman would look to the schedule
that had been laid on the table, be would find that a cor-
responding alteration had been made in the duty on
foreign glass.

SUGAR DUTIES.

Mr. VILLIERS, seeing the Vice-President of the
Board of Trade in his place, wished to put to him a
question affecting the debate of the evening. It had
been stated as one chief justification of theihigh differen-
tial duty that those restraints which used to exist with
foreign countries would still continue. It was also
stated that the duty on refined sugar would still con-
tinue as usual,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the resolutions on the table of the House would
answer the questions of the Hon. Member. It would be
seen from them that it was intended to introduce refined
sugar at increased duties.
MEDICAL REFORM BILL. _ _

Lord HOWICK presented a petition against the
Medical Reform Bill.
BISHOPRIC OF BATII AND WELLS.
____

Mr. COLLETT rose to put the questions to the First
Lord of the Treasury,of which he had given notice, with
respect to the bishopric of Bath and Wells. He wished
to know whether it was the intention of the Government
to appoint another bishop during the life of the present
incumbent, and whether it was their intention to unite
the diocese with that of Salisbury on the death of the
present Bishop ?
Sir R. PEEL could not avoid expressing his astonish-
ment when the notice was first given by the Hon. Mem-
ber. To the first A f his questions he could only reply
that the Government had no power to make any such
appointment, and, therefore, his answer was decidedly in
the negative. To the second question he would defer
all answer, at least for the present.
Mr. COLLETT then gave notice that he would move
for leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate the dioceses of
Bath and Wells with that of Salisbury, on the demise of
the present Bishop of Bath and Wells.—(Bear.)
METROPOLITAN GRAVE-YARDS.
Lord F. EGERTON wished to draw the attention of
the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home
Department. to a shocking circumstance which came out
in evidence before a police magistrate. It appeared that,
in some of the crowded burial-grounds of the metropolis
(one was instanced in the neighbourhood of Clerken-
well) it was the custom to inter the bodies pro tempore,
and shortly afterwards to burn them. He wished to
know if the Right Hon. Baronet intended to adopt any
measures to prevent this desecration ?
Sir J. GRAHAM had never heard of the practice
referred to, but the circumstances mentioned by the
Right Hon. Baronet would have his best attention.

that if a more extended permission were given to
parties to kill game, a certain class of per-
sons would be ilitercsted in the preservation
of game, and therefore poachers, it was telieved, would
have been put an end to ; but that recommendation had
not been followed up. Then, again, in 1823, and also in
the year 1828, when similar inquiries had be. n gone
into ; if the Legislature consented to legalise the sale of
game by the owners of the land, and thus supply the
markets, it was supposed that the poachers would be
thus driven out. In order to carry out this plan, large
numbers of pou!tercrs from Leadenhall-market were
summoned to attend ; and in answer to the questionS
put to them they seemed to be in favour of the plan.
