The SpoStiwG- " TiLOiKEta "— The value of the " pro . i . «> announcements respecting the winner of the tX wS have been recently paraded m-leaded " frne in the various sporting papers and in some of our Soninir contemporaries , may be easily estimated , when we state that neither bf the horses which were first and second ,-n the race was named by any one of these lynx-eyed Peers '' as being likely to obtain a " place .

Sxtitbbat , May 29-The case of Mr . Mather was brought before the Hottse of Loeds last night , in an incidental way . The Earl of FuzwiiiLiAM pointed out a discrepancy between a statement made the previous evening , by Lord Malmesbury , and the letter addressed to Mr . Mather senior by Mr . Addington , from the Foreign Office . The former had stated that the compensation given to Mr . Mather was equal to the remuneration which he would have obtained for such an outrage in an English court of justice ; whereas , in the letter of the latter , it was distinctly stated that the compensation could not be considered equivalent . Lord 'MaiiMXSBuby's reply is
. " My Lords ' , I am not surprised at the view which the noble earl has taken of this subject ^ for he has clearly misuaderetood what I stated last night . I said that Mr . Scarlett , acting to the best of his discretion and judgment , had recommended that a sum . should be given to Mlf . Mkther equivalent to that which he conceived that Mr . Mather would ; receive for a fiimilaf injury from an English court of justice ; but Mr ; . Scarlett probably took ft different view of the value of money ia Italy and in this country . 2401 . in Italy is a much larger sum than 240 Z . in this country : and Mr . Scarlett , to the best of his
judgment , took 240 ? . as the sum which he thought would be awarded by an English jury as damages for such an in * jury . But , at the same time , Mr . Scarlett gained another boon from the Tuscan Government , Which he thought that he ought not to throw away when he had a chance of obtaining it . The Government" of the Grand Duke of Tusfeany stated that if Mr . Scarlett and Mr . Mather were content with receiving the sum awarded to him—which is much smaller than the sum which I instructed Mr . Scarlett to demand—the Grand Duke would consent to set at liberty two English gentlemen Who were then imprisoned , and had been long imprisoned , for political offences . Mr . Scarlett then , acted on his own judgment , perhaps not
logically , but I cannot Bay unwisely . Me immediately accepted the Grand Duke ' s offer , and had the two gentlemen conveyed forthwith on board of one of Her Majesty ' s ships . I have not since heard from Mr . Scarlett . He has been dangerously i ll , and almost on the point of death , and has not been able to write me more than the facts . I think it fair , my lords , to say this much , because Mr . Scarlett appears to have had good grounds , in his own . opinion , for acting as he has done , although , in the opinion of Her Majesty ' s Government , the compensation which he has gained is not equal to that which he was instructed to demand . " # ¦ Subsequently Lord Maxmbsbxtbt promised to lay the correspondence respecting this affair on the table of
the House . After a discussion on the Law of Quarantine , which led to nothing , an incident occurred of a singular character . Lord Bbattmont presented , a petition from Constant Derra de Maroda , the prayer of which his lordship did not state , but entered instead into the notorious "Von Beck case , calling everybody who had a share in it very hard names . The magistrates and otThers concerned found extraordinary defenders . Tho Marquis of Saiisbuet called tho narration of Lord Beaumont a " lame story . " The Earl of Aberdeen , on the contraryhod never " heard a story moro
com-, pletely on its legs . " The " fact , were disgraceful to a civilized community . " The Lobd ChaNobm-ob had no doubt the circumstances wore such as must shock any person of ordinary humanity ; but , at least , tho magistrates did not merit the strong censure heaped upon them . Lord Cabmslb said the case was " one of tho most revolting , tho most incredible , that had over come under his notice . " Tho Earl of EixesitEBB called it a " flagrant case , " and a " gross perversion of tho tow . " How would tho gentleman , tho itinerant orator , who called himsolf Governor General in
of Hungary , have liked to have been looked up a solitary coll , by somebody who did not like him , on tho ground that ho was not tlio Governor General of Hungary P Lord ClanbioArdb attacked " tho authorities for not having taken notice of this case , which had occurred so long ago as tho 80 th of August . Hw lordalnp was properly mot by Lord Dbbby , who said that Lord Carlielo and Lord Clanricardo were both in office aa authorities , at tho tlmo . Lord Dbbby thought that if there had boon any hogloot , the late Lord Chancellor or tho late Homo Secretary , a man » o remarkflblo for hw hutoattlty and rosttoob tot tho tow , < X > W < I « i $ mn it .

But after this lapse of time > while the question was pending ina court of justice , it was ainost ejrtraordinary interference for two noble lords , members of the late Cabinet , to say that this case had been neglected . Lord GiiANbicabde explained that he always had an idea that some charge would be made by somebody somewhere , in this matter j but it was not bis duty . Lord Carxisie followed him . Both disclaimed all idea of making a charge of neglect against anybody . The latter had only heard of the case within these three weeks . In . like manner Lord Tbueo knew nothing about it . He defended the magistrates , however , especially as a trial was pending . All the speakers regarded the matter adversely to the men of Birmingham ; and seemed to he acquainted with only one side of the facts .
In the House of Commons , Maynooth again occupied considerable time . Instating the course he proposed to take with regard to public business , Mr . Disbaei / I said" With regard to the motion respecting Maynooth College , it was his opinion , after all that had taken place , that it was expedient that that question should be brought to an issue ( hear , hear ); and , with that view , he should propose that the debate be continued next Friday morning
and he hoped there would be a determination on both sides to bring the question to a conclusion on that day . ( Loud cries of ' Hear , hear . ' ) These were the prospects he had at present to hold out to the House . Several subjects of great interest and importance were likely to engage their attention , which he thought might be dealt with in the morning sittings . It would be requisite after that to consider the necessities of the public service , and to proceed with Bupply . He trusted by these arrangements the result might be arrived at which he believed all the members of the House at present desired . ( Hear , hear . )"
A discussion arose on this statement . A great many members , like Mr . Labouchere , looked upon the decision of the Government as Very unsatisfactory j encouraging as it did the idea that an inquiry , which , as proposed , must be a delusion , could take place within a fortnig ht of the prorogation . Nearly all the members concurred in regarding some inquiry as unavoidable , now that the matter had gone so far in that House . Mr . Keogh attacked the conduct of the Government on this question , for the thimble-rigging course they had pursued . The Chancellob of the Exchequer justified the Government , observing that it would indeed be a
farce and a mockery if the House should refuse to entertain , such a question as whether the national intentions in founding the College of Maynooth had been fulfilled —an inquiry into which the House might enter without at all prejudging the question . With respect to the proposition of Mr . Goulburn , which had been already made by Lord J . Russell , he ( Mr . Disraeli ) had objected that an inquiry by a Royal Commission , which could not compel the attendance of any witness , would not be satisfactory , in the present state of public
opinion ; on the contrary , nothing could be more calculated to disgust the people of this country , than transferring tho inquiry from the hands of the House of Commons into those of tho Cabinet . It was because it was a question upon which that House should have an opportunity of expressing its opinion whether an inquiry should take place or not , that he bad taken tho course he had done , with no other object than to fulfil his duty , and the consciousness of having done it sustained him under the attacks he had experienced .
Mr . Hoesman called attention to the statement mode by the Chancellor of tho Exchequer as to the result of the Government inquiry into tho case of Mr . Bennett , tho vicar of Frome—namely , that , according to the opinion of the law officers of tho Crown , redress might bo obtained under tho Clergy Discipline Act . Tho complaint , Mr . Horsman obsorved , was against the conduct of tho Bishop of Bath and Wells , and ho had ascertained that , although as against a clerk there was
a nominal redress under tho net referred to , as regarded a Bishop who instituted a presentee to a living , whatever tho religious opinions of tho presentee , thoro was no law under which any redress could be obtained against the Bishop . Tho Attorney-Generax . admitted that Mr . Horsman had Btatod tho law corroctly that if a bishop abused his discretion in the institution of a presontee , thoro was no legal remedy . Under those circumstances it wos useless , as tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer had stated , to issuo a commission of
inquiry . Nothing more arose ftjom this discussion . " A good deal of miscellaneous work was afterwards done . Mr . Anfctey being unable to obtain the consent of tho House to an adjournment on the Now Zealand Bishopric Bill , said " it would bo his painful duty to koop hon . members out of their beds for two hours , which he would occupy in speaking agauwt the bill . ( ' Oh , oh ! ' and laughter . )" Ho kept his word , gained his point , and tho debato was ultimately adjourned . Thfl House then adjourried , without having voted any Bnppliefl , at a mutter to three , until TftuW < % a ©* t .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK ; The total deaths registered in the metropolitan districts , which in the first week of May were 972 , and in thesecond rose to 1070 , declined in the week that ended last Saturday to 943 . The mean weekly temperature rose in the three weeks from 48-1 ° to 56-6 " . In the ten weeks correspdndng to the last , of the years 1842-51 , the average number was 889 , which , if raised in proportion to increase of population , becomes » 78 . The mortality of last week is therefore less than the estimated amount by 35 .
In comparing the results of the last two weeks there is a difference greater or less in favour of hist week in all the principal classes of fatal disease . Although small-pox is gaining ground , and there seems to be a great deal of scarlatina , the mortality of epidemics in the aggregate declined from 234 to 228 } of tubercular diseases from 200 to 189 ; of diseases of the heart from 45 to 38 ; but the prin * cipal reduotion occurs in diseases of tho organs of respiration , which in the previous week were fatal in 169 cases , in the last ia 131 . Bronchitis , belonging to the last class , has declined in the two weeks from 79 to 50 . Phthisis , of the tubercular order , has fallen from 142 to 129 .
Of epidemic disorders , small-pox carried off 38 children and 6 adults . The corrected average is 18 . It is only reported in three cases , those of a boy aged one year , and a boy and girl severally four years , that vaccination had been previously performed . Next in fatality are scarlatina and hooping-cough , each of which destroyed 42 lives .
