NEWMARKET Fusr SPRING MEETING.

Nawats aim MoitsAYNnitv.

We submit some additional putindars of the race for the amen-
den Stakm, especially called for front the witty massing, as to
bow the .rby favourites ran.
Scamper took the lead at starting. and reads very severe running,
closely followed by the Moslem, Crueader, and t►e General, to t►e
New Grounds, where The Moslem came in front, hard pushed by
The General and Crasadar—a most terrible race then messed be-
tween them three, Scamper and Mama not being far behind,
and Parapluie and the PiWe•da.Puts colt evidently beaten .L
Thus placed, the three continued the race. The General hiving,
apparently, a slight advantage, till within a shin distance of home,
when all Cbiffney's jocksys►ip could not prevent James Robinson,
on Crusader, getting in front, and winning by a seek. It was see
of the finest races of the season.

Immediately after the races, and till the post left, the betting be.
came brisk, and the odds speedily assumed a material change.
Panic left elr Arst favestite, and t►e two fernier favourites west
back, Moslem to 1$ to 1, Idesarch 20 to T. The General is getting

FATAL FIRE IN VERE STREET.

—.air—
PURIM IR PA RTICUL ARL

Yesterday evening an Inquest was held before Turmas Hoses.
Esq. on the bodies of Thomas Hawkins, Henry Ekon, aged five
years, Sarah Ekon, aged two years, and Sarah Giacerantelli, aged
about five years, who were suffocated at the Ire in Vere•street
yesterday morning. A great number of witnesses were examined,
whose testimony went to show, that the fire commenced la the,
kitchen of No. it, Vero street, Clare Market, and from Its coati-
guky to the staircase, the volumes of smoke that passed up were
such at to render it impossible for the inmates In the upper part of
the house to escape, but the occupier of the lower part, a Mr.
Cross, with his family, six in number, escaped that way; that the
kitchen was filled whiz old furniture of various descriptions, anal
that the owner (Cross) hard not been therein for many weeks. • The
back kitchen was occupied by one of the lodgers, and was occa-
sionally Med as a week-shop, but that it had net been so used on
the preceding evening.
It was also given in evidence by a watchman, that be saw a
tamale go out and go away soon after berme the alarm, and before
be went for the parish engine ; and that when he bad so gone and
returned, the door was abut, and several persons trying to escape
from the windows • and also that several made their escape from
the attics on to the root of the house. sad saved themselves by
getting into the adjoining home of Mr: Harrison, the Wheat Sheaf,
and some by means of a ladder. In the whole, there were 11 per-
mits in the home. The Jury returned a verdict of—Accidentally
sullbeated.-11se little damage done to the premises, and the fatal
Apes theft fellowed, caused a strong feeling to exist that the Sr.
was set ; but nothing came out in the course of the in-
quiry to jestlf, shy such merit:MN although it nka.t certainly ap•
pears mysteelens. The owner of the geode to the kitchen, where
the lire commenced, was insured to the amount of dlOu.

Hawkins was a tut who sold pamphlets about the streets, and
was well kaevro in the asighboorhised. There is little doubt but
that be loot Ids lUe in allomptleig to save the lives of the poor chit-
dten. His corpse was bond stretched under the bedstead, sad
sear to bins the sheets tied together, sod ski our to him the
corpus of two of the children, who slept in the front room. His
undies most ham been emrserdinary, tot ia the selling a hole

Giscommelli took his child op stairs, with the hope of escaping by
a trap doer, but his attempt felled, and he has to deplore the
loss of his child, ulthough he saved his own We and that of Mrs.
Mt.., by means most mirscul.ius, sod this was by getting out

The Earl of LAUDERDALE preirnted Petithins fromeevesal

of Banking in Scotland. His Lordship, in presenting a similar
Petition front tin town elf Raiff, observed that, having heard of a,
Petition of a contrary tendency being presented in the other House
of Parliament, be wrote to a friend to inquire into the particulars
respecting it, and hr ascertained from a respectable source that the
Petition was never heard of by the people of Banff until it had been
presented in the House of- Commons. Many of the names signed
to that Petition were not inhabitants of that town, but the Petition
which his Lordship was then about to present was signed by nine•
tenths of the inhabitants of liana

The Marquis of HU.I44ITLRY presented similar Petition from
several Psrishes in Aberdeenshire, and also from several Parishes
In Banffshire.

The Marl et LIMERICK presented a Pedalos frost the Good

The Earl of CARNARVON presented a Petition from the
Roman Catholics of the County of Wexford, praying for a repeal
of the Penal Lawn. The Noble Earl obeetred, that the Union
!between this country and Ireland would never be complete until
the Penal La*, were repealed.
Lord MELVILLE rose for the purpose of withdrawing a
which be bad brought before their Lordialps.to enable Joint-fleck
Con/panics in Scotland to sue and be sued in the names of the
respective dicers. His Lordship% object was to bring la a Bill
more applicable to the principle of one whits had lately pained their
' Howe as mow altered by the other House of Paella.
meat. s Lordship then moved for kate to withdraw the fret
MU, which was granted; and be thin gave notice et his intention
to bring in the other Bill to-morrow, the provisions of widths:ones
to extend to Banking Co
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said he could net form any opi-
nion as to the shape in which the Bill should come up from the
other House of rarliament, but he thought it singular that the
.same charity *which was extended to other Joint-Stosit Companies
should not be dealt out to banking establishments. It was as neon-
, Gary that banks should be conducted by men of probity as any other
establishments. His Lordship could not, therefore,see the justice
of not snaking the Bill applicable to all JO
int. Stock Companies.
Lord MELVILLE said his object was to place Joint-Stock
Companies in Scotland on the same footing with those of Eng-
land and Ireland, but his Lordship did not mean, by his Bill, to
Interfere with banking establishments, which would be the aubjeet
of a separate enactment. The /dill which be intended to bring he
world leave them as they were, and they could sulfa no Leanne-
*dente b. -
The lad of ROSSLYN had no objection to the Bill. On the
contrary, he thought it absolutely necessary. He believed tbe ob-
i jeetion of she Noble Earl was nut to the extent of the bet to
the riteciple of it.
The Earl of DARNLEY said the it was a matter of notoriety
that a Minipter of the Crown bad declared in another place that
there was no intention, on the part of his Majesty's Makers, to
renew the Alien Act, and it would be a matter of suisfactiose ter'
their /urdships to bear a similar declaration Iran the Noble Mad
at the head of the Treasury. His Lordship congratulated the Homo
oa the early termination of an Act so disgraceful and so useless as
the Alien Act.

The Karl of LIVERPOOL begged to remind the Noble Last
that it was not usual fur Government to make any announcement
respecting a Bill which was about to expire, except when some other
measure connected with it was Intended to be proposed to Parlia-
ment. It was true that a Right Hon. Friend of his had, on bring-
lag in a Bill for registering Forever', informed the House of Cow-
man that there was no intention on the part of his Majesty's Mi.
sisters, of applying to Parliament to renew the Alien Act.
LOCAL PA‘MCATS BILL.
The Marquis Of LANSDOW N moved their Lordships to re-
solve into a Committee upon the Bill to enforce the payment of
notes wherever they might be issued.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that as far as he was
informed upon the subject, he agreed entirely with the
ptinciple of the Bill which had been brOugt.t in by the
Noble Marquis ; because he thought it desirable that
battles stkuld pay their notes not only where they
were issued, but at all their branches ; but be had
heard of so great a number of objectious made to
the Bill, and as his Lordship believed there were some
difficulties in the way of attaining the desired object, he
woold submit to the consideration of the NJble hlaiquis,
whether it would be right to legislate upon the subject
when the Committee had measures before them .upr,n
which no report had as yet been made. His Lordship
did not look forward with any sanguine hope of coming
in one Session to a final or swisfactory conclusion re-
specting those important measures. It would therefore,
in his opinion, be better to reserve the whole subject for
another Session. Toe Bill which had passed their
Lordships' was undergoing ennsiderable alterations in
the other House of Parliament, where it was then under
discussis.n, and even within a short period there was
strong proof in Ireland of the advantages arising out of
t'.e establishment of Joint-stock Banking Companies.
In that country there was scarcely a bank but those of
the Bank of Ireland and Joint-stock Banks and their
branches, all of which were formed under Acts of Par.
Dement ; and in this country a great many Bankers had
expressed their willingness to be formed into Joint.stock
Companies. His Lordship did not think it prudent to
go farther until the Bill which was before the other
House of Parliament should be passed, and after the
passing of that measure there would be a good oppectunity daring
the reams of
be
an experiment, wad of ascertaining its enemy.
lßs Lerebie be would test be asisundentood as objecting to
the pdadnie oft SR add& was then before their Lordships, and
if the Noble Mame welt eassent to Its postponement, he hoped
sto slob Oplaiast would go alms& Hie object was to give the .mO-
- tdttll ouseltlentlas, oat nog to come to any cuoclusiois without
saillehnt information and deliberation; and his Lordship also wilt-
ed to my that he had no reason to alter the opinion which he bed
already declared on the subject. The Noble hid then moved tCat
the Bill be committed that day three months.
The End o: LAUDERDALE, after repeating tie
opinion which he had already expressed oar she mow
auction of the Bill, respecting its tendency to injure all
Banking establishments, said that the Provincial Banks
in I eland were placed in a very head situation. The
Bank of Ireland, and he branches, issued Notes which were payable
only In Dublin ; whilst the Provincial Bank. paid their Noses where-
ever they were issued. They were thus turned into mere engines
for supplying the Hank of Ireland with gold; and be should be
happy if some measure could be adopted for their teller.
Toe E rl or LIM EItICK eXt•ressed hs satisfaction

into effect during the present Session. Should such a
mischievous measure be again proposed next yearulie
hoped that it would be resisted and pin down.
returned his sincere thanks to the Peers of Scotland, for the energy
and unanimity which they bad displayed on this occasion; and was
happy, as an Irishman, to loin the open sanitaire which hey had
drawn before both countries. He should also wish that some mea-
sure were passed, during the present Session, for the protection of
the Provincial Banks in Ireland.
The Marquis of LA NSDOWN, after the 'tatement
of the Noble Earl (Liverpool) that in the state of the
inquiry before the Select Committee it was not proba-
ble that the House would be called upon to legislate,
with regard to Ireland and Scotland, during the pre-
sent Session, had no difficulty in acquiescing in the
motion of that Noble Earl. He bad, indeed, intended
himself in the Committee to propose that the Bill should
not begin to operate till next October, in order that the
action of the various measures introduced should be
simultaneous. With respect to the Bill itself, he con-
tinued to think it essential to the establishment of a
sound currency ; for as long as bank notes could be
issued payable at a distant part of the country, the cir-
ciliation would be vicious, liable to sudden fluctuations,
and calculated to defeat the great object in view—the re-
storation of a metallic currency. The Frostpontinent of
% she present Bill would also be attended with some in-
• convenience—it would leave the Bank of Ireland in
possession of the right of issuing notes payable only in
Dublin, and might cmnpel the provincial Banks in self-
defence to use the same right, and fix t.me head-quat ter,
Worcester, if they pleased, in England, for the payment
of their notes, in which case Ireland would be inundated
v ith paper, which could not be turned into gold except
• at too great a distance to be made available ; or if the
provincial banks did not adopt this expedient,they might
be extinguished, and awn the country might be left at
the mete,' of the Bank of Ireland, which by narrowing
its issues might occasion the must serious inconvenience.
Such a state of things ought somehow or other to be
guarded against. It would also became impracticable
to restore a metallic currency in the North of England,
1k the Scotch Bankers were permitted to issue small
owes; for those notes would ants the Border, and fill the conti-
guous counties, the Scotch being liberally disposed to afford every
accommodation of the kind to thtir English neighbours. Trusting
that the Noble Earl would introduce some measure of safety with
respect to Ireland, and that he would give his aid next Session to
pass en effective Bill can the same subject as the present, he (the
Marquis of Lansdown) should cheerfully acquiesce in the motion
of the Noble Earl, that the Bill be committed that day three months.
Earl ROSSLYN considered the fears of the Noble
Marquis tespecting the irruption of small Scotch Bank
notes into the North of England as perfectly visionary. had the
Scotch uotes driven away gold from the Notch of England in 1797,
when tbewhole English ciradation was gold ?
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that the danger of
auchan occurrence was not so great at that period; for
then the public being accustomed to gold, the first feel-
ing with which paper was received was one of prejudice
against it; but now that it had been in circulation more
than thirty years, the taste might be changed, and if
paper were ettingaished here, it would not be surprising
that it should come across the Border. Were small notes
to continue in Scotland, some measure ought certainly
ur be adopted to prevent their introduction into Eng-
land. At present, however, the danger was not immi-
nent, as the English paper circulation was to last for
three years longer, and the activity of the Bankers in
Seethumberiand would counteract any over influx from Scotland.
As to the Provincial Banks in Ireland they paid their notes •whore
limed, because they had no bead quraters, like the Bank of Ireland.
at which they might make them payable. They, however, hada right
eR choose one, .I.interkk, Cork, or Athlone, or any place hermit
fifty miles of Dublin • and if they were unfairly pressed, they would
be cornpktely justified in -wrecking that right.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE stated, that if the
landed prepnetors in the, county of Northumberland
would declare that they would not receive their rents in notes, and
• the hanters of Newcastle would only take notes at a discount, there
would be no dauger of an influx from Scotland.
'The LORD CH A NCELbOR conceived that it would he the
most difficult thing in the world,considering those notes to be Scotch
in• their nature, to prevent them front traveling southwards.
After a few words from the Earls of Listaatcx and CAISNAS.
voo, the motion was agreed to.
The East India Jury Bill was read a third time and passed, after
a few words front the Marquis of Latisoowx.

A conversation ensued between Mr. CALCLIFT and Mr. STK=

The SPEAKER assured the Hun. Members, that he thought it

Mr. CALCRA FT then presented a Votition from a Lady of the
name of Jolansun, against this Bill.
Mr. LITTLETON objected to the Petition, on the ground that
as Mrs. Johnson had been in town, and had never attended the
Comumktee, it was almost unfair to petition against the In, after
snob neglect on bar part.
Mr. CA LCRAFF explained, that it was net only an inconve-
nient but also an expensive manner of proceeding, in which she did
nor feel disposed to enter upon.—The Petition was laid on the sable.

The Hun. Mama also moved that the evidence before the
Committee abastlil.be laid before the House.—Oriirred.

Sir E. K NATCHB ULL moved *claim to be added to the New

time, and added to the Bill, which was read a third time and passed.

any alteration in the Banking Systeht of that country.—Referred to

Mr. CA LCII AFT presented h Petition from the Churchwardens
and other Inhabitants of the parish of St, Olive, Hart.street. com-
plaining of the exotbitant exaction of Tithes by the present Incuiu-
bent of that Parish.
Mr. Alderman lIRYDGES supported, in a few wards, the
Petition.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said he hoped this evil, which arorout
of the modus fur Tithe at 9s. 9d. per pound,'would not 'pug escape
the attention of the Legislature in the next Parliament.
Mr. HUME, ;wetting the absence of the Right
Hon. Secretary for the Home Dept' meta, who so can
stonily advocated the interests of the Church, would
have been glad to put it to that Right Hon. Geneeman
whether this was n.)t a fair wound of complaint by the

the
the

parishioners of this parish ? He was sorry to see the,
peace of the Church arsd gae parkhioners invaded thus
by selfish bickwings;:sissi particularly so since he ttn-
tlersteled that the difficulty of arrartgiqg the metier had
'creased byibe inettferenee of the Bishop of London bowel,
sent Clergyman, who waiwillingjo stAe 1,20 W. a yestotel,
ureon the ground that the tights of the Clergy to the Wyk
not be patted with unless-ether interests in futurity were
consulted. Such an interference he could not but reprobate as un-
worthy of that Prelate?' Indeed he must say, he acted rather like
a firebrand in this instance than a friend to the peactof the Church.
Mr. WYNNE said, that the cue was not a solitary one. The
difficulties they complained of existed more or less In every Parish
in the Metropolis.
Mr. DEN MAN concurred in the opinion of the Ilea. Member
for Montrose.

After an observation from Mr. Caesar:,
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, he could not let the oppor-
tunity pass without replying to what had fallen from
the Hon. Gentleman opposite as to the conduct of the
Bishop. The Hon. Member for Wareham had said that
the Bishop was not very willing to acquiesce in the
proposi.ion of the Parishi3ners; from personal know
ledge he (Mr. Peel) begged to stssure the • House, that
there existed, on the part of the Bishop, every feeling for an amicable
adjustment of the differences, and neither he nor the Learned Pre.
late despaired of an immediate adjustment.
Mr. H UUE explained, after which the Petition was ordered to
be printed.
Sir F. BURDETT presented a Peti•ion from a large
body of Komata Catholics, praying fur a restitution ad
rights. The Hon. Baronet said, it would be unwise to
comment otherwise than in general ttrms upon the
subj ct. of the Petition. It was a claitn backed by the
testimony of mote than six nt !lions of persons of re•
sp,ctability, which claim could not be s t at rest until
the block upon which it htti so long stumbled was
removed. AU, however, that he felt it his duty to do, upon the•
present occasion, was, to express a hope that at no very distant
period the question would be decided. With this feeling, and trust-
ing that the House would give the Petition its earnest attention, he
begged leave to move that it be received and read.
Mr. BROUGHAM seconded the motion. tie agreed in the
necessity for taking a more extended view of the case, though he
did not consider the present motion applicable to such a discussion.
The Petition having been read—
.. Mr. BA NILES regretted that no steps were to be taken upon
the subject this Session. He thought that the country could not be
too guarded against the admission of Catholic Peers.
Mr. W. SMITH did not see that the Church had much to ap.
prebend from the admission of Catholic Peers.
Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition from the same body of
individuals, praying fur a repeal of the Act of Parliament for put-
ing down the Catholic Association. The Hon. Gentleman said he
entirely agreed with the Hon. Baronet who presented the first
Petition, in the necessity of refraining from entering too largely
upon the question ; he must, however, say, that with respect to the
present Petition, whenever that subject came before the House, he
