IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT• HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WzoNsfiDAT, AIRS. 1. THE COMPULSORY CHURCH RATE ABOLITION BILL.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. After the close of our yesterday's report, Lard J. MANNERS pointed out that even the nominal rappertors of the measure had argued against its prin ciple and questioned its proposed compromise. He urged that by the bill the very essence and life of church rates was sacrificed, while the principle was established of the for seats in pariah churches — a principle which Crr t been always strenuously resisted ; it effectually brought about the separation of church and state, while its operation would be productive of anything but that pesos and concord which were its professed objects. Sir G. GREY observed that the upshot of the debate was to show that whoever undertook to deal with church rates, except on the principle of absolute and uncondi tional abolition, undertook a very thankless task. The principle of the present bill, however, was a sound one, for it practically abolished the rate, while it left machi nery adequate for the raising of the rates in such parishes as were still willing to raise the tax. Mr. SELWYN urged against the bill that it was an in effectual attempt at a compromise, inasmuch as it was not founded on mutual concession ; for it took away an undue share of the rights of the church, while the machinery of its details was calculated to throw obstacles in the way of those voluptary contributions for the repairs of the church *erbieh the law now favoured, and which were perfectly oometent at the peasant time. Mr. HOLDEN, in reference to the Wesleyan body, stated that they were opposed to church rates ; and what ever may have been the case formerly, they were no longer in favour of the oonnexion between church and state, and this change of feeling was brought about mainly by the imposition of church rates. Mr. N 'nYDEGATE said that he objected to the bill because by its provisions the whole of the legal control of the ordinances, serrims, ministrations, and appropriation of seats in pariah churches would be given to the officer called the ecclesiastical churchwarden. The representative of the minority in a parish would have the sole control of the interior and exterior manage ment and administration of the church. He declined to receive the statement of the hon. gentleman who had just sat down, as representing the opinions of the whole body • •of Wesleyan, because a case bad occurred in his own county, in which the Wesleyan had paid church rates when the question was in dispute. He considered there was a spirit of exclusion in the bill which would destroy the nationality of the church. He had himself presented to the house a bill by which he would strip away every vestige of liability of which the dissenters could com plain. That bill was a real compromise, and trans ferred the expense of the maintenance of the fabric from the occupiers to the owners of property. The bill before the bonse professed to bee compromise, but it armed the minority with a power amounting to a power of exclusion, to which he could never give his consent. In conclusion, he could only express his regret at being compelled to differ so widely with the right hon. member for South Lanca shire on this important question. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that he had en deavoured to frame a measure which would eventuate in s fair compromise of this question, and he hoped that it would receive due consideration from all parties. The principle on which it was founded was, that every person— a dissenter—who did not desire to pay church rates should be exempt on simply giving notice of his objection ; while it so guarded the rights of the church as to render it acceptable to the episcopal body. He contended that the bill in hand effected ease of the purposes of the compro mise which it was sought to bring about ; while its details wen so complicated as to render it impracticable. Mr. HADFIELD having briefly spoken, Mr. GLADSTONE stated that he had received a com munication from a member of the government that the second reading of the bill would not be opposed, on con dition that it was not pressed further ; and he was there fore surprised to find several members of the government, including a cabinet minister, objecting to the measure, and expressing a wish to divide against it. Some of the objections which had been taken to the bill arose palpably from its provisions not having been read. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to examine end reply to the objections. and argued that the encouragement be bad re ceived in regard to the bill was amply sufficient to weigh against the dissatisfaction of some of those who must have been expected to be its opponents, and who seemed to think that, because they disapproved of it, it ought to be withdrawn. He, however, had found so much sympathy with his measure that be was emboldened to bring the bill to the issue of the opinion of the house. The second reading was then agreed to. Mr. HARDCAMTLI withdrew his Abolition Bill, which stood for committee. Mr. Remission also discharged his Commutation Bill : and the same course was followed with regard to the Soli citor-General's Amendment Bill. The Appropriation Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Reformatories Schools Bill, as amended, was con sidered, and the other business having been disposed of, the house adjourned at a quarter to 6 o'clock. TEE MURDER IN ST. GILES'S. Drama. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester opened an inquiry at the King's Head public-house, Broad-street, St. Giles's, into the circumstances attending the death of R. H. Jeffery, the boy, about six years of age, whose body was found hanging at No. 15, Great Earl-street, on Monday morning. The father of the deceased, who is suspected of having committed the murder, has not been found. Mr. Levi attended to witch the proceedings on behalf of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children. Jane Edwarde, the grandmother of the deceased, was the first witness examined. She said the deceased would have been six years of age next November. His father's name was John Richard Jeffery, and he was a tailor. The de caned was left at witness's door seventeen weeks ago by his father. He remained with her up to the Sunday before ! his death. Her daughter (the mother of the deceased) did not live with her husband. The father of the deceased came to witness's house at half-past eight • ou Sunday evening, and said he wanted his boy. The deoeased was in bed at the time. The father told witness that if she did not dress the boy he would do something to her. Witness subsequently requested a policeman to take Jeffery into custody, but the policeman refused to do so, saying he could not inter fere with the father. She never saw Jeffery or the child after. Witness never heard Jeffery threaten to murder the boy, but she entertained a suspicion regarding him in consequence of something which the boy bad been telling her. About three weeks ago the boy told witness that his father had taken him out and had stuffed his mouth and treated him in a horrid wanner. (The witness here went into details too shocking for publication.) Inspector Harvey, of the F division of police, informed the coroner that when the witness went to the police- ' station she stated that Jeffery had said he intended " to do for her and the child, and he would then be happy." The witness Edwards said she had forgotten to mention that circumstance, and she stated in continuation that Jeffery allowed her nothing for the support of the boy. She did not know that the mother of the deceased was living with a man as his wife. Sarah Foster, aunt of the deceaaed, was next examined. • She said Jeffery and the deceased came to her house be tween nine and ten o'clock on Sunday night. Jeffery asked to be allowed to remain for the night, and witness readily consented, her husband being at home at the time. They had some beer, after which Jeffery and the boy wept to bed. Jeffery got up between one and two o'clock, and said he could nut sleep. He dressed the boy and said he was going into the country. They then left, and witness did not see them after. Before Jeffery went out he cut the candle, and took half of it with him. Witness heard him say the boy would not be a trouble to any one very much longer. Wit ness told Jeffery he ought to be ashamed cf himself for not keeping the child better, and he told her with an oath to mind her business. Jeffery had often said that the boy was not his son, but he had no foundation for saying so. Dr. Harvey stated he was called to the deceased to the corner of Nerile's-passage a little after 7 o'clock on Monday morning. He found the deceased lying u,•'en his back in the cellar, which was quite dark and in a filthy state. The hands of the deceased were tied loosely behind him. Witness ordered the removal of the body to the dead house. A Juror asked the coroner if it was not improper for the police or a doctor to cause a body to be removed before the holding of the poet mortem examination. The Coroner replied in the affirmative, but stated that the filth of the cellar in which the body was found pre vented the doctor holding a post mortem examination there, and he was, therefore, not blameable for the step ho had taken. Dr. Harvey, in continuation, said he saw the deceased in the dead house, about half an hour after the removal of the body. There was the mark of a cord round the neck. The facie was pale but placid, and the eyes natural, but ' with some slight dilation of the pupils. There were no other marks, not even of the handkerchief which was tied round the wrist. At tire o'clock on Tuesday afternoon he made a post mortem examination. The brain was congested, and the lungs were collapsed and congested. The heart was fullat both sides wita black blood. The stomach showed no of poison. He attributed death to suffocation. He t houg ht the deceased mast have been partially dead before he was hung up. Diary Cotter said she lived at No. 15, Great Berl-street. At half-past six o'clock on Holiday morning she went into the cellar to get some water, when she saw the deceased hanging near the cistern by a white cord. Her mother subsequently went for a policeman. James Kiky, 13 F, deposed to having cut the cord by which the deceased had been hanging. He said the cellar in which the body was found was the filthiest place be bad ever entered, and he was afraid of catching the choler while he remained there. The Coroner said it was surprising why the sanitary in spectors of the perish allowed such filth to exist in a human habitation. The inquiry was than adjourned for a week.

Ths weather had undergone a delightful change, and In place of the heavy clouds, frequent showers,. and cutting wind of Tuesday, the run chose brWlantly, and the air was warm, but not oppressive. The attendance fell nottdag short of the open Mg day, but the Stand and "the lawn" plaseeted a more animated appearance, a very large number et ladles being as gambled. The Prince and PIiLICOIN of Wales were again present, and remained till the last race. There were ten events set down on the cant for decide'', but the principal race Wilms day was, as a matter of course, the Goodwood Wakes, for which ten competitors went to the post. Black Prince and the Special were the favourites, starting at compsratinly short prices, and up to th eer, last they were backed for a large amount of money, as was also the French representative, La ll'ortune, who came with a rush in the betting at the gni*. Theme was, however, won easily by Lord Westmoreland's repro- sentative, the Special only menaidng to score second bosoms, with La Fortune third. The victory of Rama was hailed with i quite an ovation from the 'members of the ring. Lew of whom had laid against It. The Drawing Room Wakes, which Glaillateur won last year, were again secured by the representative of Count sty others. Ostreger won the Lid t e an l =Mittlraie l = by eight runners. Ischia walked over for theSwetakee of 300 nova., as did also Mr. Bowes's War for the Goodwood Derby. For the Findon Stakes nine silk, but Mr. Pryors Friponnier, notwithstanding her penal ty, won by a head from Bismarck, the selected of the Frew stable, Trues deco, finishing third.

Alter taking their preliminary canter, the competitors were conducted to the starting post at the foot of Trundle-hl i; but some delay occurred before • start could be effected, occasioned chiefly by the fractiousness of Forester. Eventually they were despatched in very lair order, Jollity, however, soon showing in front, but befweVing 100 yards Forester took up the running, followed by Jollity, at an interval of a couple of lengths being Brother to Guerilla, Black Prince, Midi& cult, and The Special, who ran in a cluster, the rear being brought up by Actor and La Fortune running side by side. At the turn out of the straight Forester and Jollity were at least half • dozen lengths in front of Midis colt and Bemis, Adam and Black Prince being next, the tall at this point comprising La Fortune, Brother to Guerilla, and the Special. Rounding the Clump Forester and Mldta colt gave way, and Jollity was left with • long lead of Rams and Acts; who were succeeded by the Special and La Fortune. Jollity, who up to this point had been making the running at a good pave, suddenly disappeared from the front, and as they rounded the turn into the straight Rama took up the running with a clear lead of Actor, while the Special and La Fortune were, racing side by side next. As they approached the distance, the Special, on the Inside, ran Into second plisse, and for a moment looked like overhauling Rams, but, dying away to nothing, the mat named came out and woo in a canter by three lengths; La Fortune cantered home a bad third, a length in his rear being Brother to Guerilla ; Aetna, and Black Prince were next, but Forester, Jollity, Ltuaer, and Midis colt were pulled up before reaching the post.

Mr. Backstop* took his annual benefit at this house last night, and with it closed a long and pros perous season. In consequence of Mr. Sothern's illness the comedy of She Stoops to Conquer was performed in place of The Favourite of Fortune, and Mr. Bucatone de lighted his patrons with his rich and humorous impersona tion of Tony Lumpkin. After the comedy a abort concert was introduced ; and after the concert Mr. Buckstone delivered the following address, according to his usual custom, and with more than the usual amount of applause : Ladies and Gentlemen—When I concluded to end the season here this evening, it occurred to me that I would not trouble you with any address on the occasion, as I could but remind you of what bad been done, and tell you what we intend to do ; but this ides was only met by remarks that its omission would cause disappoint ment—that it was looked for—that some might construe its absence to signify that the season had been unprofit table, with other observations of a nature ; there ! I fore, I at length determined to say a few words before making my bow for a short time. I am happy to inform you, ladies and gentlemen, that the season has been a most prosperous one, and which you may sally believe when I assure you, upon my honour, that from our opening, on the 9th of last October, 1865, I to this evening, August the Id, 1866, we have never I known one week's receipts to be under the expenditure, indeed, nearly all of them have given a very large profit ; ' but although the Haymarket is certainly carried on by a company, it is not a company of shareholders, nor have you, ladies and gentlemen, any shares in it cosequently these profits wi ll not give you any divide n ds ; though I know you will all resolve to adopt my report, with a vote of thanks to the chair—that is, myself. How long any theatre can bout of such prosperity the future only can ! decide ; the great privileges proposed, to be given to the • music halls may change all this, for we well know that a j dramatic performance without edibles and fluids muststand at a considerable disadvantage compared with those estab lishments where a similar entertainment can be enjoyed in conjunction with tobacco, alcohol, and devill'd kid neys. Still, ladies and gent lemen, we will not despair, we will continue to present the diems, pure and simple, without such " aids to reflection ;" then, should we fail, we must see whether the ladies visiting the boxes of the Haymarket will object to a mild cigar during the performance, and ascertain if the pit and galleries will set their faces against bitter beer, or something stronger ; but should this dramatic millennium ever arrive, the company of this theatre only hope that the audience will hand them something to drink on the stage during their arduous exertions—then we may possibly see Sir Peter Teazle, after his soliloquy beginni ng, " When an old bachelor marries a young wife, accept at the end of it a tumbler of liquid from some friend near him, and hear Sir Peter say, "Thank you, air, your very good health—just what I wanted ;" or, we may live to notice my Lord Dundreary blowing a friendly cloud in the stalls with another of his own order—and in tellect. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I will leave this theme, refer to the past, glance at the present, and go on to the future. In the past, lam proud to say, we have produced one of the moat legitimate comedies which has been represented for some years, I allude to Westland Marston's Favourite of Fortune. We have also given you Mr. Planche's Orpheus in the Haymarket, where the smoothness of the couplets was only surpassed by the refined wit and point contained in them. You have seen Mr. Charles Mathews, on his triumphant return from Paris, play his admi rable Sir Charles Coldstream ; and, in addition, Mr. Saban has shown you his most original representations of character in Dundreary, Brother Sam, and David Garrick. As to the present, ladies and gentlemen, the brilliant and crowded house of this eveniugspeaks for itself, and assures me that the Hay market Theatre need never despair while its performances I can attract, not only on these occasions, but throughout a season, so many admirers of the true drama, so much rank ' ' and fashion, and on looking round the house at this mo ment—from the pit to the upper regions—l must add, so much beauty. With regard to the future, we shall com • mence our next season on Monday, the 24th September, , when I know you will be glad again to welcome Mr : and Mrs. Charles Mathews—the gentleman still in full vigour of constitution and talent, whom to quote Ben Jonson's line on Shakespeare, I like to call "the applause, delight, the wonder of oar stage." The lady, with her many admirers, and yearly gaining more by her heartiness and good looks. We shall have new comedies by Mr. Omenford, Mr. Leicester Buckingham, Mr. Stirling Coyne, and a peculiar extravaganza by Mr. Burnam]. Mr. Sothern will again put in an appearance at Christmas, and in a novelty soextraordinary that I do not feel it prudent to tell you what it i•—but I may announce the acceptance of a play, in which he will appear, written by Mr. Tom Taylor. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the fourteenth year of my lesseeship and management of this house ; that I shall survive another term as long is one of those hopes we may pronounce to be impossible of fulfilment ; but whether my future career may be long or short, I shall ever gratefully remember how highly I have always stood in your favour, how well you have always patron- ised me, and with a fervent hope that as long as I may be able to appear before you I shall never in any way forfeit that esteem which you have at all times made me feel that you entertain for me, /whether I have deserved it or not. During our visit to Manchester for five weeks, I am happy to inform you that Miss Amy Selgwick will preside over the fortunes of this establishment, appearing on Monday next in her own admirable character in Tom Taylor's Hay market comedy of "An Unequal Match." And now, Lidice and gentleman , form , and in the name of the popular, and I will say at' unequalled comedy company of the Haymarket Theatre, I thank you for all past favours, and, until the end of next month, respectfully bid you farewell. Next Monday the theatre will be re-opened for a abort season, under the cianagement of Miss Amy Sedgwick. STRAND. The revival of I►enilworth, a burlesque produced about six years ago at this house, written by Messrs. F. Lawrence and Andrew Halliday, has been a success at this theatre. The surviving author, Mr. Halliday, has largely rewritten the dialogue, and if we miss many old favourites in the cast, their place is supplied by actors and actresses who are well trained in the art of burlesque acting. No care or expense has been spared to give the revival the benefit of brilliant scenery and dresses. eabat anis Military. CHATHAM, Accusr 1.

GRANT.-TME CREDIT PONCTEI COMPANY. This was an interlocutory application for an injunction to restrain Mr. Albert Grant and the Credit Fonder Com pany from purchasing with the money belonging to the company 3,900 shares in the City of Milan Improvements Company, now held by Mr. Grant, Mr. G. E. Seymour, or their nominees ; to restrain Mr. Grant and the company from delivering up to Mr. Seymour, or to any person on his behalf, a promissory note and bonds given by him to Mr. Grant or the Credit Fonder Company, or any other wend ties now held by the Credit Fonder Company, till a slim of money advanced by the company had been repaid ; and to restrain Mr. Grant and the company from handing over the assets of the company to any other company, until all debts and liabilities had been discharged. The case was argued at some length ' and the plaintiff, Dr. King, and Mr. Alf . Lowe, the secret ary of the company, were examined viva voce. Mr. Gleam and Mr. Cracknall appeared for the plaintiff the Attorney-General, Mr. Fooks, and Mr. Waller for the company ; and Mr. Bailey and Mr. Speed for Mr. Grant. The Vice-Chancellor in giving judgment said it was alleged on the part of the plaintiff that Mr. Grant, the manager of the Credit Foncier Company, and Mr. Seymour entered into an agreement together to buy shares in the City of Milan Improvements Company—a company brought out by the Credit Foncier—and deal with them for their own profit ; that they agreed together to purchase 12,000 shares in order by creating a demand to raise the price in the market. But it appeared that the shares thus purchased became depreciated in value, and it was alleged that these two gentlemen therefore formed the scheme of thrusting those they bad purchased upon i the Credit Fonder Company. It was further alleged that in order to enable Mr. Grant and Mr. Seymour to buy these shares, Mr. Grant borrowed 80,0001. from the com pany, and by way of security for the loan deposited a pro missory note and bond, which had been given to him by Mr. Seymour in respect of his share in their joint venture. The bill further alleged that there was an intention to make the company purchase some 3,900 additional shares in the Milan Company, these shares, as it was mid, not only being worthless but having a heavy liability attached to them in respect of calls, and that in order to conceal these transactions, Mr. Grant had conceived the scheme of reconstructing the company. There was also alleged to be an intention to hand over the assets of the existing com pany to the new company without making proper pro vision for the payment of the debts of the existing company, by which the shareholders would suffer, because they would be left liable for the debts when all the assets had been handed over. The question was whether the plaintiff was entitled to be relieved upon either of the three points raised by the application. With respect to the 3,900 shares which be alleged it was intended to pur chase with money of the company, the evidence went to show that there was no such intention, and the court could not make an injunction to restrain an act which had not been proved to be in contemplation. Upon the second point the plaintiff alleged that as security for the loan of 80,0001. Mr. Grant deposited with the Credit Foncier, in addition to Mr. Seymour's promissory note and bond, cer tain shares in the Milan Company, and it was prayed that the company might be restrained from delivering up to Mr. Seymour any securities. It was clear from the evidence that the promissory note and bond had already been handed over to Mr. Seymour upon payment by him of a sum of money, and that all transaction, between Mr. Seymour and the company had been satisfied and discharged, and as there was no ground for supposing that there was the slightest intention to deliverup to that gentleman any shares in the Milan Company, or an securities whatever in the possession of the company, this part of the injunction could not be sustained. He was surprised, considering the way in which these shares were spoken of by the plaintiff, that it should be sought to restrain the company from delivering them op. As to the third point it appeared that the present shares of the company were 201. shares, of which 5/. had been paid, and that the natural sensitiveness of the shareholders in these times with regard to such a lia bility led to the proposal . to reconstitute the company with shares of a reduced nominal value. There was nothing to prevent the company dissolving itself, and a new company being formed, but it had no right to hand over its assets to a new company without paying or making ample provision for all liabilities. He could not say that the a ffi davits on either side were satisfactory, but there was no sufficient ground for concluding that there was any design to hand over the assets without making proper . provision for the debts either by paying them or so providing for them that the shareholders in the old company should no longer be under any risk with regard to them ; and it was hardly conceivable that the 6,000 shareholders constituting the company would have sanctioned the reconstitution if their safety in this respect had not been secured. But apart from the merits, there was quite sufficient ground for the refusal of the application. The plaintiff, as it appeared from his own evidence, was a gentleman without compation except as a buyer and seller of shares, and had dealt in and lost by Credit Foncier shares, but bad never been a registered shareholder until, for the purpose of filing this bill, and after the bill had been pre pared, he purchased five shares. Mr. Seaton's explanation ' of his object in filing the bill was that he hoped to get back money which he had lost by his 'peculation, ; but the bill could not by any . act of the court restore anything to him. Under these circumstances the mutation had been not unnaturally made that no benefit to the plaintiff could result from this proceeding, unless it induced some person ; to buy him off ; and no other object was conceivable except that Mr. Seaton might suppose that the neon , 'traded company would beim favourable to his gambling speculations in the shares. The court certainly would not, at least upon an interlocutory application, amid a person whoy having no grievanoe, rink, liability, or anything to justify him in salting for relief, put himself into • potion of risk and liability for the purpose of filing his bill. ; The application was refused, with costa.

SHOCKING BRUTALITY Or ♦ BTKPPATHZL Beery SmitA, 37, a repulsive-looking man, wee indicted for having on the 6th May, at Oldham, attempted to mur der Mary Davis, his step-daughter, by cutting her throat with a razor. Mr. Addison prosecuted. The prisoner was undefended. When the prosecutriz was eight years of age (12 years ago), the prisoner married her mother. She was sent to a charity school in Worcestershire, and on her return, when about 15 years of age, the prisoner took advantage of her position, which should have made him her natural protector, and with the encouragement of her mother, committed a criminal assault upon bar. She complained to her mother in vain, and against her remonstrances he continued his intimacy until she had a child. She afterwards 'ought protso. tics in service, but he found her out repeated} till at last, urged on by his unnatural •n, he brutall y attempted her life, because she w not return home and live with him. The jury immediately found a verdict of Wounding, the foreman adthng, " with deliberate attempt to murder." The Judge—Prisoner, you have attempted one of the most odious of all crimes, and from the basest of motives. It is well the attempt was not fatal ; if it had been your doom would have been the gallows. The sentence upon you is that you be kept in penal servitude for 20 years. The prisoner, who had not shown any emotion, imme diately ran out of the dock down the steps, sad was lost to view. THE CHOLERA. Yesterday at the meeting of the St. Pancras vestry, Cam den-town, Mr. Churchwarden Ramon in the chair, a long and stormy discussion took place on the subjectof the cholera and the mode of carrying out the orders 'a council for it prevention. At • special meeting held on Monday the vestry, in addition to the suntan board, appointed a special committee, to be designated " The Cbolera Com mittee," and, on the ground that they were about to ad journ for a month, the vestry delegated the whole of their powers to carry out the orders in council in respect to cholera. Yesterday the committee presented a report to the vestry, asking that the finance committee might be authorised to sign cheques for any expenses the cholera committee might feel it advisable to incur. Mr. W. H. Wyatt, aa'rman of the special committee, w owed, and Dr. Collins seconded, that the re commendation in the report be complied with. Mr. North said he should oppose this motion in the fin; place because he thought the powers of that vestry ought never to be delegated to a committee. (Hear, and " oh.") Secondly, because from what had already transpired it that over this cholera question the committee Edetermined to spend the ratepayers' money like water. (Cries of " Oh, oh," and " hear, hear.") One of the very Scat acts this committee did was to agree to give Dr. Hillier, the medical officer of health, in addition to his salary, two guineas per day and his cab hire. (" Hear, hear," " ob, oh," and " Shame.") Fourteen gamess per week additional ! Tben, each of the other med i cal officers were to have an extra guinea per day. If this were per mitted 4,0001. or 5,0001. would be spent in no time. All these preparations were creating fear in the public mind, which would do more to aid cholera than anything else. It appeared to him there was some jobbery somewhere, but he would oppose the committee having the powers sought for. Mr. Rabies was willing to make any neoessary prepa rations to check an epidemic, but as there had been only nine cases of cholera m St. Pancras, and all in one spot, he saw no necessity for the expenaivemachinery contemplated. Mr. J. It. Collins called upon the vestry, after having taken a step in the right direction, not to stultify itself by refus ing them the means of carrying out the duties with which they had been entrusted. Other gentlemen condemned what they contended was the extravagance of the commit tee, while. Mr. Jonathan Salter, Mr. Cameron, and others argued that for the credit of local self-government, for the sake of consistency and humanity, the vestry should sup port their committee. The motion was ultimately carried on a division by majority of 26 to 17. Mr. J. M. Wills. a surgeon, of No. 32, Upper East Smith field, camebefore Mr. Paget, at the Thames polies-court, yes tenlay,and said he was appointed temporarily to look after the health of the 'curers of St. Botolph Without, Ald gate, forming of the Whitechapel district, in which he was sorry to say there had been many fatal cases of cholera. A fortnight ago he was called to a lodging-house in Burr-street, at the eastern end, and immediately , behind the St. Katherine Dock. A woman died of Asiatic cholera of the worst type. A man died of Asiatic cholera next day, and the day following that a second woman was at tacked with cholera, whom he sent to the hoepitaL The lodging-house had since been closed, to the great loss of the landlord, a foreigner. He now wanted an order to destroy the foul clothes mid other things left in the house. Mr. Pakjet inquired under what act of parliament he I was required to act! Mr. Wills said is pursuance of the powers vested in him he had caused the bodies to be removed and buried im mediately after death. The Privy Council had directed " that the vestry or board shall in dwellings where cholera or diarrhces exists cause proper disinfectants to be used in sufficient quantities for the purpose of disinfecting the discharges from the sick, and the bedding, clothing, and other things thereby infected, and the utensils and privies in which such duchargea may have been received, and cause every article of clothing, bedding, or furniture which shall have been infected with any such discharge, and which they shall find incapable of being speedily disinfected, to be forthwith destroyed, the vestry or board within a reasonable time replacing all such articles, or paying the reasonable value to the owner." There were blankets on the top of the house on which the cholera patients died, and things in the house, such as stinking rags and linen covered with excretions, and be wanted to get at them, disinfect, and destroy the things. He had seen the solicitor and clerk of the Whitechapel Board of Works, who did not know how to act. Prompt action was necessary if the fearful epidemic was to be arrested in its p Mr. Paget would lre very glad to assist the applicant if he could. He had no power to imam an order. The Privy Council had issued printed orderesnd reyulations and the vestries and district boards were directed to enforce: them. He had no power to give an order. If there was a nuiaanos in existence and the vestry or district board refused to act, private individuals could put the law in motion, and come to him for a summons under the Nuisances Re moval Act. Mr. Wills—l can't get into the house. I wish to pre serve the health of the inhabitants. The cholera eidsts in a virulent form, and it is extremely mortifying when you have an order of the Lords of the Privy Council and want to act upon it, that the order should fall through. Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk—Surely, in such an emergency as the present, the Whitechapel District Board of Works would be justified in sending their officers into the house, and destroying and diainfectmg the things instanter. The seine can be ascertained afterwards. Mr. Pa g et it came to this. The Privy Council had given directions to vestries and district boards to do cer tain things, and they had no power to enforce those orders. Ire was utterly powerless, although he was desirous of doing all the practical good in his power. He thought this was a very proper case in which an immediate applica tion should be made to the Secretary of State. Mr. Wills said the work was fearful He and other members of the medical faculty were overwhelmed, rind the Board of Works now shrunk from the responsibility of enrol :Aug the orders of the Privy Council. He then retired. THE TREATMENT OP CHOLERA. The Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council having by their medical officer, Mr. Simon, addressed a letter to the College of Physicians relating to the expediency of issuing instructions to the captains of merchant vessels " how they should act when proper medical attendance cannot be procured, so as to provide for the health of their crews against attacks of cholera," the following is the sub stance of the reply forwarded by the college : " Their lor dshi p. request to be informed' whether, in the opinion of the college any, and if so, what suggestions might be issued as representing the present state of medical knowledge and experience with regard to the drop which should be given, or other treatment which should be adopted, in attacks of cholera, and especially in the be ' ginning of the disease, when proper medical attendance cannot be procured.' Their lordships, at the same time, submit to the college a oopy of the instructions issued on previous occasions " With reference to that part of the inetauctlons ea which their lordships particularly request the opinion of the college, via, that which relates (1) to the necessity of avoiding purgative medicines to be ted when cholera durinl o ihe prevalence of cholera, and (2) the measures appeal , * on board ship, the committee t ink— " 1. That when opening medicine is required the mildest should be selected, as castor oil or rhubarb. Glauber's salts and Epsom salts are dangerous. The common belief that prolonged costiveness should not be interfered with during the prevalence of cholera is erroneous. " 2. That the master should ascertain by inquiry, morn ing and evening, whether any of the mew are labouring under dlarrhuss, and if so the following recommendations are 'subjoined for his guidance : " 3. That if a man be attacked with diarrhoea he should, whenever it is possible, be sent to bed and kept warm, aad some aromatic and astringent medicine, oontaming a email quantity of opium, should be given to him at once, and should be repotted every hour or two, according to the seventy of the purging. " It is suggerted that 10 grain, of the aromatic powder of chalk and opium (of the "British Plummacepoia") should be so given in half a glass of peppermint water or weak brandy and water. Should this medicine not be at hand Are measured drop of laudanum may be substituted for each dose of the powder. " Large doses of opium or of ardent spirits should be articled. _ " If the diarrheas should result from bed or obviously indigestible food, or if the discharges are unnaturally offensive and attended with griping pain, it would be desirable to 're a dose of either of the gentle laxatives abo►e named before administering the opi►tes. 1 " The diet should' consist mainly of beef teaw or rise. " If the discharges become colourless end mai m a purging being of the kind commonly called ' purging') and be accompanied with vomiting and ed„.7 the opiates should no longer be persisted is, sad "iz liquors should be avoided. The patient should be' sa l kept in the recumbent position, he sho u ld be snekiri drank water freely, and should be abunda n tl y o fte h a k fresh air. Warm applications should be tied l and legs, and a mustard poultice should b e app u ea pit of the stomach. Cramps may be treated by nai t it i affected parts with the warm hand. " In an eases, medical advice, when attsimbis, be obtained as soon as possible." METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.
