That expedient had, however, after some time, proved inalletient, when Capt. Clixton, R.N., at the request of the owners, visited the stranded vessel, and, by securing the ftggot breakwater with rows of strong green timber placed outside, rendered her perfectly safe and easy ; ao much so, that it was confidently expected she would be got off and sent to Liverpool at the commencemett of next month. • As the success of Capt. Claxton's expedient was a matter of great importance to the shipping interests of the country, he wished to ask tie First Lord of the Admiralty whether proper persons had been despatched to the spot to get full Information on the "object ? The Earl of AUCKLAND said that he had called for the fullest reports; he expected them in a few days; and when he received them be should be happy to lay them on the table. He might add, that orders had been sent to the admiral on the Irish initial to lead the aid of a most power ful steamer in getting oft the Great Britain. if neeessary. SAINT PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. Earl FITZWILLIAM took that opportunity of calling the attention of the house to the practice of exacting Mee from visitors to St. Paul's. Passing through the churchyard on the previous day, he turned into the cathedral, being anxious to compare it with his recollection pf St. Peter's, which he had slatted last year. However, on proceeding up • the aisle, he was followed by an Oficial, and a fee of two pence was demanded. (A laugh.) He thought the practice of charging fees for admission to our great national cathe dral was exceedingly disreputable. (Ilear, hear.) JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL. The Earl of DEVON moved that the house should go into committee on the Juvenile Offenders Bill. Lord DENMAN supported the bill. It was at present too much the habit with jurors to deal out inadequate punish ment for thefts trivial in amount, though flagitious in their charactr r; and he therefore would consent, though reluc tantly, to Mspease with juries in each cues es those Contcal 'Wed by his noble friend. Lord CAMPBELL alto supported the measure. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER gave notice that he should move an amendment to provide separate confioement in prisons for offenders of tender ages. After a few word, from the Rut of WARWICK, their lord ships went into committee on the bill. After some convereati an , the different clauses were agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. Their lordships adjourned at halipast 7. HOUSE OF COM MONS.—FRIDAI, JUNE 18. The SPBALIS took his twat at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUsINESS.

PRIVATE BILLS—CONSTITUTION OF COMMITTEES._ Mr. GREENE, intl;;;;;;enceot Mr. Hume, moved the order for the adjourned debate on the motion, that it is ex pedient that the oonstitation and practice of all committees on private hills, in future sessions of parliament, should be assimilated as nearly as may be to those of committees on railway bills; and that it be an instruction to the committee for revision of standing orders to make provision accordingly. Mr. BERNAL objected to a motion of so much import ance being brought forward at such a time, and in the ab sence of its author ; and to the motion itself he was opposed, as the ground that it would entail a vast amount of addi tional labour upeo members of polisment. and render it impooible for then to attend to their legislative duties. He suggested that the home should appoint a tribunal apart from itself, to make the 0/101/1117 preliminary inquiries on all private bah. Sir R. 'INGLIS took the ate view. Sir \V. HEATHCOTE opposed that view, contending that the evil of the prement system was, that it overworked the members of the boom, ea evil which this motion would obviate, fbr five mambas wash do what was now done by 15.

He now wished to ask the noble lord whether he had pre vailed on the government of Lisboa to send oat a ship for the , otbriaging bask the sidles taken to Torres - Videos, purpose also wished Whew whether the Spanish forces who were advancing into Portugal had been commanded to return ? Lord PALMERSTON said it seemed that the difference between the hon. gentleman and his right hon. friend (Mr. Macaulay) was merely as to words rather than facts, the only question being, whether the announcement mode tothe 4lntata was sufficient to have convinced any reasonable men fiat there was danger in going out of the Douro; and be was of opinion that the notice was complete. He admitted that Mare had been no formal declaration of war from the three pewees, and it was not exactly the thing that would come within a diplomatic communication. (Hear, hear.) On the 15th of May, Col. Wylde and the Marquis d'Espans having gone to Oporto, in order to propose certain articles with re prd to the ,queen, and having received the refusal of the junta to accede to them, coupled with a demand fur ten other articles, Col. Wylde made a formal communication to the junta, of which the following was a part : " I have no alter native but to announce to the junta that the British govern aunt, in concert with the allies of her most faithful Majesty, will forthwith take such steps •3 they may think proper he affording effictuel assistance to the Queen of Portugal, Mil n-setabliebing tranquillity in her dominions." Teat, ie thought, was a declaration of hostilities. (Hear, hear.) Cam sul Johnston also stated in a letter, which bad been referred to by the hon. gentleman, that Sir Thomas %Dallied, know ing the probability of the ships of the junta being stopped in the event of their proceeding to sea and perceiving that both the junta's vessels off the bar had their steam up, sent a message to the commander, entreating him in a friendly way not to proceed to sea, but rather to re enter the Douro and remain there until despatches were received from England; and the reason why that message was not in writing was, because it was merely a friend!' communication to prevent consequences which all British officers were desirous of avoiding. (Hear.) Supposing any two gentlemen fn private life were at issue about a thing to be done, and one said to the other, " If you do so and so there is a great probability that I 'hall knock you down, and therefore I give you this notice in the most friendly manner to prevent disagreeable consequences "—(laughter)—if the gentleman then happened to be knocked down tie surely would not be able to say ;hat he was acting without some preparation for the consequence,. (" Hear," and laughter.) That, he thought, was exactly parallel with the ease of the seizure of the ships of the junta. (Hear, bear.) With regard to the questions of the honour able member, first, as to a ship being sent to bring back the exiles—he could only reply, that no such inform. tier had as yet been received, and ha supposed, in fact, that when the last despatch left, the Portuguese government hardly had the means of sending for them. He had, how ever, the satisfaction of stating, that he had been informed in the course of the afternoon, by the minister from Portu gal, that he had received isformatioa from Paris, that on the 10th of this month the Portuguese government did issue the full and complete amnesty, which was one of the conditions stipulated ice—(hear)—and that had beer, issued at a time when the Queen's government at Lisbon had not received the information of the intended submission of the junta (Hear, hear.) With regard to the Spanish troops, he had received no information of their having actually entered the territory of Portugal, with the exception of a small detach meat which went into Valencia, and, in connexion with the garrison of the town, reviewed the guerillas ; but the army we. not to enter Portugal until the 10th, and no account had yet been received of their having done so ; indeed, he should think it probable that if their ads once bad been de layed a few days they might hear of the turn which things had taken and retire. ( Hear.) EXPLANATION. Mr. VILLIERS, in allusion to a dispute between himself and the hon. member for Weymouth (Mr. Christie) last night, as to a question which he said the honourable member put to sir F. Lewis on the Andover committee on his private affair., and which the hon. member said was untrue, begged to state that he had re ceived a letter from Sir F. Lewis, who said the question put to him was in the following words: " When you ceased to be a poor-law commissioner, will you inform the committee whether you ceased on an arrangement being made by you With your son 1" The hon. gentleman read the ques tion In almost the same words from the official report, and to the same effect, from the report of the Times on the following day, and proceeded to say that his object was to show that he had some ground fur the statement which he had made, and if he had been betrayed into the use of some hasty expressions in consequence of the abrupt interruptions of the hon. gentleman, he begged to apologise to the house. (Hear, hear.) ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL said that as there seemed to be an oo jostion to the house 'Ming on Saturday, be begged to move Yet the house, atits rising, do adjourn until Monday. (Hear, bow.) Agreed to. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. On the order of the day being read fur going into com mittee on this bill Col. SI BTHO ItP moved that the house should go into committee upon it that day six months. He objected to every clause in the bill, but chiefly to the appointment of commis sioners, and above all of two paid commissioners. (Laughter.) Such appointments would give great patronage to the go vernment ; and he looked with jealousy on all governments. (Much laughter.) He also objected to the bill en account of the expense it would occasion. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that he would oppose the bill if it did not extend to the metropolis, where it was most called for. lie did not think the nob'e lord would meet with any opposition if he included London. That objection twin removed, he would support it. Mr. NEWDEGATE objected to the bill because it was introducing a new principle, which he believed had readied the name of the tentative principle. He also °Wasted* the large discretionary powers which it gave to the commis sioners, and to the power which it gave of taxing outlying districts which would receive no benefit therefrom. The bill gave the orders in council the effect of acts of parliament, which was most objectionable iu principle. it gave the in spectors who were to be appointed the power and the right of being present at the meetings of the corporation; thereby introducing a system of government espionage which was contrary to every principle of the English constitution. He believed the object was to break up the institutions of the country, and to introduce the continental system under pretence of 'providing sanitary regulations for towns. He believed that the districts which were to be attached to the boroughs, would be placed under the municipal audio- I rides and taken from under the jurisdiction of the county magistrates, which he strongly objected to. For these rea sons, he called on the house not to permit the sharp end of the wedge to be introduced, sad to resort to the intrude.- con of a principle new to the British constitution. Mr. ROEBUCK always felt suspicious when appeals to the pocket or to the feelings were made by gentlemen one site. The present bill contained a very impartial per' ciple, and deserved to be considered without refe rence to clap-trap polities or party feelings. (Hew, bear.) The hon. gentleman seemed to be very much afraid of the principle of centralisation, but that principle merely meant that the parties carrying the law into effect were to be immediately responsible to parliament instead of to small section of the community. The undigested and contrail.- eery mass of things which it was the object of the present bill to reduce into something like order, aroee from the cir cumstance of its being rained up piecemeal, sad not on any certain plan founded on experience ; and the noble lord de served the thanks of the community for his boldness in endeavouring te unite, concoct, and arrange, the fragments. But the noble lord had omitted the platrZ e ll others which required his care—namely, that which had St. Paul's fur its centre. He believed that if he took fifteen miles on each side of fit. Paul's, it would include 2,000,000 of people. Now, he was ready to join the noble lord in hk crusade against " filth, stench, and the death-dealing pesti lence; " but when the gallant knight came to London he seemed to be afraid of it as of a phantom. The noble was ready to deal with Ellosasseter, and no abominations in Birmingham Wen to milibk interference, hat when be came to London he shettlisileo and cut— An note.

Let not the government be deterred by the name of the City of London. Time was when that city was the centre of all that was good and noble in this country—when, as in 1840, it was foremost in the fight of freedom ; but now it was no thing more than a MO of congregated individuals, bound together by trade and the ordinary mercantile transactions of life; but which, from its density and immensity, required the taest'seduloes and careful consideration of the Commons House of Parliament. Mr. HORS/dAN regretted the delay whichtted attended I this measure. The noble lord (Morpeth), in introducing it, while he &hewed that It was a question of humanity, of eco nomy, and of'eomfort, showed, also, that it was one amiss I lag necessity. Fifty *Gunn(' lives, the noble lewd told them, were sacrified every year this meson was delayed; and in London eight pears of life, and in Liverpool, eighteen, were I lost in thelifoof every individual from the, want of proper sanitary regulations. This, then, was not a mere question of I comfort, bat of life ; and it was the duty' of govern ment to incur any amount of labour—any amount of risk or responsibility,rather than have cemented to a change which so mateiielly bateriered with the object of the bill. What was the nation of the opposition to the meant*? There had been but 22 petitions against it, with 287 signa tures; for altering it, lb petitions only had been resolved, having 334 'igniter.' ; while, in favgisr of the bill, 104 peti tions had been presented, haring 42,000 signatures. (Hear, hear.) That London espectally required some measure was proved by the evidence of Mr. Brodie, Mr. Walker, mid others, who had told them, that in consequence of the over-' crowded state of the grave-yenta, and of the neglect sewerage, the air and the water were poisoned, and that t' their sereaffiefiefik Shsegist the ?duelists should to ti the Weigh caul the question referred to the Weft iieNnisittee, to prepare a matured plan, Iseeolet into action in the next parliament. mat aa. amiss. Mr. Shaw, Mr. Ewan, and Lord sTM~eneilieldelb4he the motion llB Against it BUSINBINI OF TES NOUSB.—HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL sold he did not propose to move that the house at its rising should arkiourn over tomorrow, be ams it was dogma' to proceed with unopposed bills, end to seed ethers up to the Hone of Lords. In moving the order of the day he the eentaittal of the Health of Towns Bill, be send not bet expo a hope that his note friend the masher for Bath would not impede the progress of that bill by persevering with the motion of which he had given notice, which would rats a discussion upon the gess &Et of the window-tax. Lord DUNCAN, in answer to his noble frier% begged to tours him and the house, that no one was rem LWOW than he was to promote the paining of saaitalp and he had been chiefly induced to subedit the =2' which be bad given notice, with reference to the endow dutire, when titling on the select committee on Lord Lincoln's bill of last session, he had heard it complained, by hon. members now sitting on the treasury bench, that the noble lord's measure was incomplete, inasmuch es it did not embrace that object, and that no measure would' be cook pletely perfect which did not deal with the window-duties. It was not his intention to have entered upon the whole question of the window-duties, but to tall attention to the re markable fact that no less then 7,000 houses,of 8 windows each, had fallen out of assessment since Mr. Baring's act of 1841. However, as he saw that by persevering ho might impede the progress of this bill, he should withdraw his notice of motion, in the hope that when he brought it forward in this cr the next session of parliament, he should receive the support of her Majesty's government. (Hear, beer.) Lord G. BENTINCK suggested that it would be ex tremely inconvenient to go on with business. to-morrow (this day). Many hon. members not expecting but that Saturday would, as usual, be a holiday, bad made engage ments accordingly. He hoped, therefore, the noble lord opposite, who had not given notice of his intention that the house should sit, would not persist in such an arrangement. Lord J. RUSSELL observed that he only proposed to morrow to take stages of those bills to which there was no opposition, in order so to advance the business of this house that complaints should not be made in the other house of bills being sent up there so late in the session. The noble lord could not forget that rt this periid it bad been very usual for the house to sit on Saturday.. Mr. ROEBUCK suggested to the noble lord at the head of the government, that he could economise the time of the house if he declined to persevere with thole bills which he was certain could not be passed in the course of the present session. One of those was the very bill now proposed is be proceeded with—the Health of Towns Bill—which applied to every town in the kingdom. It wee a erode, unprepared, and ill digested measure, that could not possibly pass, except with the consumption of many laborious evenings in the dis cussion of its details. The same he rm.st my of the Rail ways Bill ; indeed, the two bills together were quite enough ' to occupy the house for the next six weeks, and even then, he was quite sure that neither ono nor the other would be brought to a satisfactory cenclusion. The Poor-law Adminis tration Bill was a measure which mat be carried this session, and, therefore, he trusted the noble lord would abandon the two former bills to which he had alluded. His noble friend and colleague had abandoned to-night a motion of great im portance to their constituents, and he hoped the government would reciprocate the obligation thus conferred, by not burthening the house with labours which, while they occu pied time, led to no useful purpose. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reference to what had been stated by the hon. and; learned member for Bath, could only say that he did not think either the house or the government could take for granted what bilk would not be opposed. The hoe. and yarned patent= said that the Poor law Adedennatien Hill was a aaseme which must be passed this andee, addle ether be.. 'ambers contended that * eagle never to be slowed se biome the law of the least It bad, however, nee dinewed, sal a majority had decided that it was a ball whin deemed the sanction of the lees keens. He (Lid J. Menell) did not know but that the name result night Weed the Health of Towns Bill ; but in enhor that he night bars the formidable objections that were to be urged egoist *et nuns*, he now moved the order of the day for the egemtleal of that bill. Mr. ROEBUCK selehe only wished the noble lord to withdraw such bilk es. be 4M not think he could carry through during the presume session. Mr. MACKINNON ingesesed a hope that the house would consent to proceed at sews with the Health of Towns Bill—a immure which bed be promised in the speech Qom the throne ea the 'geeing Of the preocht session, and in two preeeMes_spseebas. Mr. WAKLMY lamed, from what had been stated is the coarse of this convened's, that the house would sit to morrow (Saturday) in inks to proceed with unoppmed bills. Lord J. RUSSELL—With bills the stages of which are un1":1 1446d. r. WAKLEY resumed--Who waste know which bills were unopposed ? He held in his hand a long list of bills whisk stood fur thin evening, but he could not say which I cos opposed or which unopposed. He thought it would lamest satisfactory to the house and to the public, if the Melia lord at the dead of the government would on Monday goo &tough the list, and declare what bills he abandoned, and wilt measures it was the intention of the government to press forward. At present the house and the country were wholly uninformed of the course which thegovernment meant to take. He would ask the hon. member for Lancaster (Mr. Greene) what was his intention with respect to the House of Com mons Costs Taxation Bill ? Many respectable gentlemen had complained to him that this bill was an attack upon their interests, especially the attorneys; and he believed they were right. Would the bill be proceeded with, before the evidence taken in the present session of parliament had been laid before the house ? He differed from the hon. member for Bath in his opinion uto the Health of Towns Bill. He earnestly hoped the government would endeavour to pass it in the present session, for which the public would be sin cerely thankful. Mr. GREENE mid the bill had emanated from a com mittee, who had taken considerable evidence, and who had thought it important that a proper taxation of costs should take place, both as regarded parliamentary agents, attorneys, and witnesses. In the absence of the hon. member for Moetroge, he would not take the responsibility of stating what was the course that would be pursued; but, in the meantime, he would propose that the evidence taken before the committee should be printed and laid before the house. Mr. G. PALMER complained of the unconstitutional principles which were involved in the Health of Towns Bill. I He would not entrust to the members of town councils, who were generally a pastel of tradesmen, such important powers as were given by this bill,—such, for instance, as taking under their controal gas and water works. The bill should have his utmost opposition if these titaness were persevered in. Let these Health of Towns commissioners have power to bor row money, if necessary, but not to nine rates ; they would generally be a parcel of country tradesmen who had some thing else to do than look after such works. Mr. HUDSON thought it would only hive been fair to the house if the noble lord bad told them what bilk he should take to-morrow, as many gentlemen engaged in important , transactions were anxious to have Saturday at liberty. He regretted the withdrawal of the motion of the noble lord the member for Bath, respecting the window duties—a subject which be considered of greater importance than the Health of Towns Bill. It was extremely objectionable to bring such a bill forward at the nose of a session, when the proba bility of its passing was extre_mely small. Kr. DIVRTT charade:tied the Health of Towns Bill as an illoceddered and uncoutitutional mums.

In this, as in o , the country suffered from their vacillation and want o ecision. What ae'tner could their supporters return to their constituents when t;.`al were asked what advantage had resultehe transits' of the reins of government from the han d It. Peel to thou of Lord J. Russell? They could nthat, while under the governmeat of Sir R. Peel liberal principles had steadily progreased, under that of Lord J. Russell they had u constantly receded. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BANK ES aoostdered that this bill neither answered the large promises that had been made, nor the petitions that had been preseated on the se 'eat ; and that it wan not what it professed to be—a great ml measure—since it omitted the metropolis of , and many other parts as well, unless specially . Now, he contended that, if it were a good measure, it ought to be extended to all. The hon. member for Bath had so well pointed out the impropriety and the inconsistency of omitting London from ' the operation of the measure dunng, he regretted to say, the absence from the house of the noble lord (Morpeth)— who, for aught he (Mr. Bankes) knew, might have been dining with the Lord Mayor—(a laugh)—that he felt it to bo his du'y to inform the noble lord of the ob jections which were taken to the measure by that hoeourable iitember. (Cries of " Oh.") The hen. gentle man (notwithstanding this expression of dissent) reiteratod the sentiments of the hon. member for Bath, and expressed his concurrence in them generally; eacepting the stigmas of moral corruption and incapacity which he bad cast upon the corporation of London. The only question regarding them was, whether or not they ought to be omitted from the 011 ? Why include York and omit London ? Was it be. cause his right hon. friend the Lord Mayor of York at on that, and the Lord Mayor of London on the other side of 1 the house, that York was to be freed from unwholesome smells and London to retain them ? (Laughter.) The first few clauses of the bill provided for the appointment of com missioner* and inspectors. and for the payment of their salaries. So with other bills before the house, which licensed to be drawn after one form, and the discussing of which in that house he thosgbt a great waste of time. If the bill should pus in its prevent form, it certainly would crest* a great deal of jealousy in the country. But he did not think the noble lord could tarry it, exempting the metropolis, while he believed the noble lord was pledged not to alter the measure in that respect. If not, let him get up and say so. (Hear, hail Lord MORPETH said, that although the government had not been treated in every friendly or candid spirit in the course of that night's discussion, he confessed that his own anxiety was entirely wrapped up in the aohject and the measure itself. (Hear, hear.) Since he proposed it he had been exposed to much attack, of which, however. he did not complain. for it was the natural consequence of a measure affecting se many various interests. He had been attacked, in the first plane, for including the metropolis; and he was attacked mora copiously now for excluding it. (A laugh.) He fully concurred in the assertion that the metropolis re quired salutary improvement and legislation as much, at least, as any other part of England. (Hear, hear.) If his own inquiries could have left any doubt upon his mind, all the representations and even the reproaches he had since received upon that subject would have entirely removed it. He was now asked if he was pledged to exclude the metro polis. He had already distinctly declared that it was his inteution to exclude it from the present bill, and he could not therefore with good faith consent to its inser tion. He was also asked why he had excluded it. Why ? (The noble lord's momentary hesitation in replying to the question called forth a burst of laughter from Colonel Sib thorp, which was joined in by a few others.) He had only to appeal to what had taken place in that house during the sessisn, to the measures that had been introduced—none, he admitted, of greater importance, although, owing to the cir cumstances of Ireland, of a more pressing minute than the present—to justify him in having consented, reluctantly consented, he must say, to the deferring of that portion of the bill which related to the metronelis. (Cris of " Oh.") He stated the simple truth. He felt that there wan not time to deal with the extensive and important details which legislating for the metropolis involved. He felt that he had no opt ion; that there was not time for the consideration of all those special proveions, and that all he could Lope to do was to pass the measure in its present shape. (Hear, hear.) The honourable member for Cockermouth asked why he had not introduced provisions on the subject of intermural interment. Independently of the circumstances he had already alluded to, the discussion of that evening showed him that he had quite enough on his hands—(laughter)—red that if he succeeded in carrying the bill in its present shape he should have accomplished no mean achievement. (Hear, hear.) So far, then, from evading, he courted reproaches, for he hoped that public attention would thereby continue to be directed to the sub ject, so that next year he, or whoever else should more worthily ILI his place, would be compelled to follow u and complete what was now left undone. (Hear, hear) Those who considered that in postponing a portion of the task he was consulting his leisure and his ease--(" no, no") had little idea of the life he had led since last Easter—(a laugh)--or of the mass of communications which he had re ceiyed since then, and which, he mu.t say, had fixed in his mind a steady determinatinn to do what he could, whenever and t y whatever means he could, to promote the great work of salutary improvement. Those communications showed not merely a general apprehension, but the actual presence, to a street and increasing extent, of fever and disease in its worst forms in almost every part of the country —aggravated, when not wholly caused, by the deficiency of our sanitary regulations, which it was the object, as he hoped it would be result, of this measure to remedy; and represented a waste of health, and strength, and happiness, and even lire, at an accelerated rate, not among the wealthier portion of society, but among those whose lot was cast amidst hardships and privations, hard-working mechanics and labourers, who endured most suffering and underwent most toil. Such was the nature of the communication' he had gone through upon this subject, and he was sure that there was no hon. member in that house who would willingly undertake the responsibility of the task, or, upon patient reflection ' undergo 1 it if he knew to what an extent the mischief prevailed, andhow much sanitary regulations would do to check and prevent it. Let hon. members only reflect how neecosary it would be to establish proper authorities to make inquiries and to preen* the plans and surveys which must form an indispensable preliminary to sanitary legislation, and which, probably, would take a full year to complete. If, then, they refused to take the preliminary steps, the result would be the postpone meat, for at least two years, of any attempt at sanitary im provement. When he last addressed the house on this sub ject, he quoted the quarterly returns of the registrar-general relative to the health and mortality of the country. They included 117 districts, and came up to the 3let March. He then gave a very painful picture of the public health, but he re gretted to say . that the returns for the last quarter showed a considerable increase in the mortality. The registrar general stated that in the summer quarter of 1846 the mortality was greater than it had been in the seven pre eeding quarters; and last winter quarter, ending 31st March, 1847, it was still greater. The number dying in the dis tricts front which returns bad been made, was 66,105, being 41,030 above the average. On the whole, the health of Lon don was below the average, and, although that might be attributed in some degree to causes which were accidental and transitory, it was trident that the health of the country was at least stationary, or, perhaps, retrograding. The trarouneral strongly approved of the Health of Townsol, as calculated to produce a better state of the public health. Although he (Lord Morpath) had omitted London from Use present bill, he trusted that when an opportunity was given to legislate for the remaining towns of England. the house would not refuse to take such means as lay open to it to reduce the mortality of which the registrar's return drew so frightful a pictuze. The petitions presented on the subject had been already referred to. The hon. member /sea Dorsetabire had treated them rather lightly, and had said that they did not relate to the bill then before the home. The hon. member would at all create what that the peti tioners in the country did not owes themselves wads about London, but were anxious am* about Oak own towns and districts.

Mr. MILES gave the government every credit for gaol intentions, but thought that the bill had better be bald over until next session. He objected..th the exclusion of London, and put little faith in the promise that the metropolis sou to be made the subject of future legislation. He remembered that when the corporation reform bill paused, London woo excluded with a promise that a special bill was to be brought in for itself. Bat from that time to the present nothing had been done, and therefore be had little faith in the pramism made on the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) There was no town in the country more in seed of sanitary reibma than Landon, es might be inferred from a document white be held in his hand. [The docu ment was a statement relative to tho ward of Farringdon without, front which it appeared that the whole of that dis trict was lamentably in want of drainage.] He would ask the noble lord if, after each a oommunteatioa, it was to be wondered at thatoomplaint should be made of the partiality of the measure. (Heir, hear.) He gave the noble lord cre dit for the best intentions, but be begged of him to postpone the bill to a future session, as he could assure him that every clause would be the subject of lengthened discussion. If the noble lord premed the bill, be (Mr. Miles) must vote for the motion of his hon. and gallant friend the member for Lincoln. The Earl of LINCOLN intended to vote forgoing into com mittee. With respect to the exclusion of the metropolis (ram the bill, he believed he was responsible for that exclu sion as well as the noble lord. His reason for wishing that London should be left out was, that the compli cated machinery necessary for the metropolie would be ill-adapted for the provincial towns. That objec tion applied more to the measure which be (Lord Lincoln) introduced than to this, because the machinery here was different wilt a granter central controlling power as well as compulsory powers, which obviated the inconvenience of keel acts and of local commissioners, which eomplieated the question as regarded London. Having urged on the noble lord to omit London from the bill bet :re he saw it, he was bound to say now that he had seen it, that its provisions were applicable to that city. Still, he did not mean to say that he approved of the machinery of the bill. The noble lord had gone far beyond the principle which he laid down in his speech, which was the maintenance of local authority and superintendence, assisted by central authority. But he (Lord Lincoln) feared he had exceeded that principle, for the pro posed central authority would entirely control, and not merely assist, that which was local. When he urged the noble lord to exclude London from the bill, he did not mean to exclude it altogether from sanitary regulations, for it stood more in need of it than any other city ; and he gave a proof of his opinion on this point ; for although in the bill be had introduced, London was not included, yet, at the time that he left the Woods and Forts's, he was preparing a bill that was to apply to London only. He should vote for going into committee if they came to a division, in order to show that it was his wish to advanco the objects of the bill. He begged to suggest to the noble lord, that if it were found impossible to pass this bill in the present session, that he might obtain its object by pawing a short bill, allowing the' local commissioners to adopt the provisions of the Towns Improvement Clauses Consolidation Bill. Sir J. HANMER supported this bill, because he repre sented a town which was in the worst possible sanitary con dition ; and he hoped it would be praet:cable for the govern ment to carry a measure of sanitary reform this cession. Mr. HENLEY should not vote for this bill, particularly u' the noble lord said that it did not apply to the rural districts, whereas it applied to every place where there were 300 in habitants who presented a petition to be iteluded in its pro visions. Unless all great towns were included in a bill, it was hopeless to expect any great measure of unitary inform. This measure was not &judicious one, and was so framed that nobody knew what it was about. Mr. HUDSON protested against the exemption recorded in favour of London from the operation of the proposed mea sure. If the experiment were to be tried, let it be a national one. As to the people of Yorkshire, though they were favoorable to improved sanitary regulations, he did not be lieve that they would at all approve of the present bill, which was an entirely new one, containing provisions of the meat objectionable nature. He hoped the measure would not be pressed this session, but that the noble lord opposite would, daring the recess, devote his mind to the preparation of a measure of a comprehensive and effectual nature, free from the spirit of centralisation. of which the country was sick, and of all taint of jobbery. He thought the towns might very well be left to menage their own affairs. Lord J. RUSSELL said that if the towns could 211 manage their own affairs, then, of course, there would be no need of this bill, but he thought otherwise. All the reports on the subject, all the Gee, proved that such a measure as this was necessary to secure the health of towns of England at.d Wales. On the other hand, the hon. member for Somerset, and other gentlemen, had used arguments which led to c m elusions quite the reverse et those they had drawn from them. They said that the City of London being left out, the mea sure ought not to be proceeded with, but surely they should, on the contrary, carry the bill into committee, so that in committee they might ioaert the metropolis. They could hardly mean that the other towns of the country insisted upon remaining dirty and unwholesome, because London was not to be cleansed. (A laugh.) The noble earl oppo site, in his original bill of VW, exempted London, and five miles around, from its operation, and did not introduce the metropolis until 1846. The noble earl, probably, had, like the present government, thought it policy, in the first in stamen, to include London, and had only afterwards excluded it from his general measure from considerations of expedi ency, leaving London to be the subject of a separate measure. The hon. member for Somersetshire further objected, that the bill already had too many clauses ; why, then seek to introduce others leading inevitably to much discussion f U. should have been very glad, himself, to have included the metropolis, but, as thus had been deemed inexpedient, he trusted the house would go into committee with the bill aa it stood. Mr. B. DENISON said that, in answer to the appeal which had been made neon him, he could state that the wbole of the West Riding of Yorkshire was decidedly in favour of the hill, and he himself should certainly vote for going into committee upon it. Mr. MUNTZ, in the midst of the loud cries fora division, declared that, in his opinion, the bill now under considers lion was most vexatious in its provisions, and anomalous in its regulations. It was impossible that this bill, which was so full &difficulties and inconsistencies, could pass in the present session, and, therefore, if the hon. and gallant mem ber fur Lincoln t Col. Sibthorp) went to a division, he (Mr. Muutz) should be obliged to vote with him. The house then divided--For the motion l9l For the Amendment 5O-141 The house then went into committee, pro foresj, and the further consideration of the bill was appointed for Thursday next. TITHES COMMUTATION BILL. The house having gone into committee on this bill, On clause 1, Mr. FREWEN suggested that the bill should only he in operation for one year. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the commutations were now nearly all worked out, and the limitation wormed would be injudicious. After a few words from Mr. BANICES the clause wee agreed to, as were the remaining clauses. The house resumed ; the report to he received on Ideleigy. THREATENING LE ITEM, &e., BILL.

Loan MORPETIT little thought, when he ven tured on the task of sanitary reform, that he was aspiring to the crown of martyrdom. And yet so it turns out. Had he preached a new doctrine in the age of heresiarebs, he could scarcely have drawn after him and raised before him at once so enthusiastic a following and so dangerous an opposi tion. He has a crowd behind him, pressing, roaring, and menacing to walk over him and tread him down, unless he goes fast and far enough. whilst before him stands the genus alderman, prepared to brain him with city-maces if he stirs a step. _ _ No one but so thoroughly good-humoured and well intentioneda person as Lord Mor.rErtt could bear this double badgering, this hostile and damaging back ing from friends, with the more silent and dangerous menaces of foes. In the House the friends of sanitary reform are by far the most noisy and most formidable. Their impetuosity to open sewers and rush down them is as fierce as an Alpine torrent. They esteem aldermen as children, and corporations as obstacles not worthy of being taken into account. But, whilst thus abused for his circumspection, and loaded with the most abusive synonvmes of "chicken-hearted," the Whig Lord of the Woods and Forests sees before him the host of foes likely to beset his steps and those of his friends in a general election. The Health of Towns Bill threatens to dethrone and displace those active, unclean authorities who delight in local rule, and who enjoy it by virtue of their influence, their busy, bustling qualities, and by all that constitutes eminence in a townsman. But these are the very men most influential at elections; these are the men who compose committees, and marshal voters, who can indite a placard, and lead a mob. A bill which makes enemies of all this class in all the towns of England may seem a very inno cent measure to a theoretic reformer, whilst it is is reality a very serious one to be brought forward by a party about to apply for the sweet suffrages of towns. Mr. ROEBUCK and Mr. WILLIAMS might, there- fore, show more mercy ; and these reformere, instead of damaging the reputation of the sanitary lord, ought, in prudence and fairness, to back him against the corporation and the country party. The go vernment wants nothing to speed its activity. The very seasons and the clement'', ore aiding the , icivement towards sanitary regulation. Ireland is e her filthy and hunger-pined hordes into Lott- pouring don. They are crowding places already crammed to repletion with miserable and neglected life. Vegetable food is dear meat is almost unattainable. The summer gun draws up malaria teem every square foot of stagnant water, from every cubic inch of decaying animal or vegetable matter. Fever is already here. There are parts of London where this is no news. There are many streets sad courts in which the startling announcement would be, Fever is departed hence. But it is well for those who hold that a greedy desire for increase of govern ment patronage is at the bottom of the sanitary movement, and who attribute all advocacy of the measure to corrupt motives, to know that reasons exist for the speedy action of boards of health, which may tell even upon the most selfish. Within the last two months three tines as many cases of fever hare been admitted into the London Fero Hospital as were received in the three preeediny months. Wards, which had been closed for years, have bow re-opened, and are already full to overflowing. Patients have been brought to the doors of the hospital, and sent back for want of room. Twenty names have been down on the list, waiting their tarn for the next bed that death should leave vacant for a fresh occupant. It is an unwise act in the journalist to excite alarm unnecessarily or incautiously. Selfishness and roguery are generally cn the watch to catch up any gloomy anticipations of the press, and turn them to their own ends. But there are terrible and ominous warnings which it would be criminal for one writing In the cause of humanity, and policy based on humanity, to conceal, provided only he can rely upon his authority. We have this reliance, when we say that the prevailing form of fever presents new and appalling symptoms. It exhibits symptoms hitheste.o• thought to be distinctive of the plague, portico' larly a tendency to 'glandular inflammatioa. This inflammation, in the cases of the few now prevalent in London, has its seat in the neck and throat ; while that of the plagr generally exhibited itself in the groin and armpit. But except this variation in the seat of the spur lion, there is no perceptible difference between thew symptoms, as they appear in London fever in 1047, and in Alexandrian or Cairo plague in 1846. Whit if, while we are disputing as to whether anything I to be done for public health, while parishes are cis. mooring against centralisation, and govenissi flirting with a Health of Towns Bill, a that has not been laid upon us since 1666 should is t again uplifted over England? What if the *Ps be even now among us? If such a fearful visitant be at our doors, Irs 'lad his place swept and garnished. So far feria sources of contagion and fever having, as a gaga rule, been removed or stopped up, there are eery which have been lately created, and more which hew been increased. Take a case referred to by Lad Norm ANBY at the last public meeting of the Health of Towns Association, as an example of a proclaimed
