A abort time ago an .aot wee passed emsowering the Trea sury to advar.co money to companies tqr the purpose of improviug the dwellings of the.working clsaaes in populous toWne slid other popuhius places. It was provided that eke Treasury ehould draw up the regulations and forms in which the moneys should be advanced. A goad many persons were exceedingly impatient to negin operations as soon as possuLle, and he should feel obliged if his noble friend would state what progress had been made in the natter. The Earl'of DERBY said the roles had been preper, and he expected that they would be Laid on the table in tiw arum of that evening. PUBLIC HEALTH BILL. This bill wee read a second time after a brief discussion in the course of which Lord Suarresaut. urged the neces sity of more stringent powers in respect o/ the water supply, and Lord CA:INAUVON announced that in 001410. qtence of the prevalence of cholera an order in council would immediately be issued, requiring a:: ships coming under the operation of the Passenger Act to carry • sur pmewhatever the number of passengers. Several bill wore advanced in their various stages. HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION (IRELAND) ACT CONTINUANCE BILL The Earl of DERRY, in moving the aeoond reading of this bill, said—My lords, it is with great reluctance that I rise to move the second reading of this bill. Nothing would be more gratifying to me than to be able to state that the condition of Ireland was now such, sad the conspi racy which prevailed in .that country was so far ex tinguished, es to allow us to revert to the ordi nary law, and not continue the extraordinary sus pension of the Habeas Corpus Act. I need not refer to the circumstances which were stated at the commencement of this session by her Majesty's late government as a reason why the extraordinary powers which they demanded should be confided to them, as they were confided to them, I believe, almost without a dis sentient voice in parliament, for the purpose of defending the peaceable and loyal inhabitants of It-eland from the most dangerous and treasonable conspiracy that ever existed in any country. I am quite sure those extraor dinary measures were not applied for one single moment before they were necessary, and if I were to express my own opinion on the subject, I should think the fault of the late government was in rather delaying too long the ap .plication of the remedy until the conspiracy attained a strength and power which rendered it much more difficult to grapple with it than at an earlier period. At the same time no doubt this was a fault on the right side, because no government. unless it be absolutely necea sary, would desire to go beyond the ordinary powers of the law, and thereby ourtail the liberties of the people. The operation of tine suspension of the Habeas Corpus A.ct, carried out as it was by the executive under the authority of the noble earl opposite, with an amount of firmness and at the same time of temper and moderation which reflect tile highest credit on the manner in which he dis charged the duties of his office—these, my the operation of the suspension has been most remarkable in restoring peace and tranquillity to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) I sex happy to nay that at the present moment the returns from the assizes show a remarkable diminution with re gard to the ordinary amount of crime in Ireland, but at the same time with regard to this Fenian curuipitacy I cannot flatter myself, rind I know that it is the opinion of her Majesty's late governuient that although the measures adopted have checked the outward' manifestation of Fenianisni, the spirit is not by any means subdued.; that it stlll exist! to • dangerous extent, and that with :can impulsive population like that of Irehind the permission to carry on their proceedings unchecked by more than the ordinary measures, would be liable to throw the country again into a state of the greatest confusion and danger. The measure has been acted on, as I have stated, with temper and moderation. A very considerable number of persona were arrested under the provisions of the set, and a large portion of those—l t elieve more than half of the whole number—who have been able to give any security for their future good conduct and the observance of the law, have been allowed freely to go forth, and it is the earnest desire of her Majesty's present goverbnient to extend that system as much as possible, and to allow the removalfromprison of anyperatins who can give any security or hold out any prospect of acting in future as loyal sub jects of the mown. (Hear, hear.) But there are a considerable number of persons from whom no rich security can be obtained or expected, and who, in point of fact, still 'maintain the language of defiance to the autho rities. and the letting loose of all these persons on society would be, in my mind, incurring a responsibility which no government, with a proper sense of duty to the sove reign and country , cught to accept for the five or six months during which the sitting of parlia ment is to be suspended. Rut it is not only with regard to those persons who have been removed from the scene of their dangerous attempts—it is not in regard to them chiefly that I think the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act has been beneficial, and that its repeal would be most injurious—a great portion of this formi dable conspiracy is not of Irish birth. (Hear, Lear.) It comes from foreig n agents—self-expatriated Irishmen, per haps, who in a foreign country carry on a treasonable conspiracy against the land of their birth, secure under the laws of the land to which they have transferred their allegiance. At the time of the pausing of this act we knew well that a large number of those persons were in Ireland spreading their opinions among an impul sive and easily deluded population. When they found this act passed, a great many of those per-ions returned to America, end relieved the country of their presence, and from the thee of their going forth it was not so much from the imprisonment of those who remained as the absence of those who went abroad from tenor of the law, that peace prevailed. The repeal of this act at the close of the ses sion would give an opportunity to those persons to return with perfect impunity, and renew the designs they have never abandoned, and which they still put forward in the United States with the utmost confidence and effrontery. Repeal the act and you will have an influx of all those dangerous agents into Ireland, and you will have the popu lation of that country exposed to all the dangers from which this measure has exempted them. It is much more in reference to these foreign agents returning to renew sedition end egitation in Ireland, than to the native popu lation, that the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act will operate beneficially ; and I certainly believe that with the removal of that dangerous; element, and with the powers conferred upon the government, exercised, as I feel confi dent they will be, with firmness, but at the same time with moderation, and with an anxious desire to protect the loyal and traceable inhabitants of the country—l be lieve that, altboulh this suspension may be looked upon, ands ti a certain extent • great curtailment of the liberty of the people, it will be hailed by the wen-dispoeod portion of the population as the greatest protection for their lives and liberties during the ensuing autumn and winter. (Hear, hear.) I trust at the commencement of next session matters will be so far improved that we may again ask you to revert to the ordinary powers of the law, but at the present moment I am quite certain that I should not be justified if I were not to ark your lordships to entrust to the present government, until the next ses sion, the same powers which were entrusted to the late government. (Hear.) My lords, I beg to move the second reading of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Lord KIMBERLEY, while also regretting that it should he necessary to continue the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, said that had he remained in office he should have recommended • similar course to the government. He observed that although there was, happily, a decreased amount of ordinary crime in Ireland, yet the extent to which the Fenian conspiracy bad ex tended rendered it necessary to meet that dangerous isation with vigour and promptitude. In his opinion there bad been no such dangerous conspiracy 17%, because in this instance it had been fomented and supported from • foreign country, sad it would be highly imprudent suddenly to abandon all those precautionary measurer which bad proved so efficacious an preventing an outbreak. After speaking of the temperate manner in which the United Stater" repreeentative in Dublin had ixterpoad on behalf of Anoxia= citizens who were arrested undintthe Steepen- Bien Aet, and the support mishit the t had re solved from the gentry al Ireland, Ind Kimberley ex pressed his conviction that to insure the contentment of that country a settlement of the land tenure (portion must be effected, sod the Irish Church question must be dealt with. PA K ; EXPRESS, TUESDAY AUGUST 7, 18*'.

The *hole of the afteruo.m was d,r:.,ted to the seal'„ which was of formidable proportions. Bookmakers mustered in drone force, but many of gentlemen were absent, and we several complaints of the reluctance exhibited In certain quartets to square accounts promptly. Oa tde however, conadder thr how hard backers were but lan week, the settling was got through pretty well.

G. 1 The SPEaltifft took the ehak at a few minutes before 4 o'clock. After a number of notices had been -iven for next I t session, 't • • Lord 4112.ANIAIRN11 (in reply to ,Major Jervisl gave a • general explanation of the measures contemplated by the i t India-dflce to remedy the grievances of the u,ll,:crs of the 'lndian Army. With regard to the staff corps grievai,e, they proposed. instead of restricting that corps to officers' who had served ou the staff, to permit any officers To enter 'it who had joined the Indian Army before the um:dganta- I yioa ; and the bonus system grievance they propostAl to t remedy by appointing a committee in each presidency, which, as each off.zet retired, would inquire into his c.st, • and would ascertain how much ha was out of pocket by payments to officers for retirement. Whatever tint less might be the government would make good to hint, and cue cost, he anticipated, would be an average of 8,00 , ..!. a year for years. :Ir. J.

He pointed out that to the metropolis the laws relating to public health were administered, not by the guardians, but by the vestries, end the Public Health Bill, which would become law, he hoped, to-slay. would enable these local bodies to take an necessary . preinutiona with greater rapidity. These 'local bodies. be renifirksd, were now on their trial, and if they did nut carry out the swan intrusted to them efficiently is woul be wacenary for parliament to step in and place them in other hands. . . Mr. HENLEY. apprehending that the local authorities would have some dUticulty in taking the necessary mea sures for want of nriey, regretted that the i;overr.ment had not passed a abort net to supply that deficiency either by a rate on the metropolis or in some other way.

W -- Mr. HEATS concurred in the suggestion, and t:.rew on I Cr; governtemit the responsibility of any caliwity which might arise from wane of means. The I'ELANCELIAiIt of the EXCHEQUER deprecated intAri'erence witi. the ordinary local administration of the metrepolis in a roomed of hurry and alarm, and eepressed a conviction that no government, if an emergency should arise, would shrink hum the responsibility of meeting it in any li:sinner which might seem most effectual. . Colonel HOGG, es a member of a local hoard, urged that inor• stringent and summary powers should he given to imaie inCe in•peutors. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS said he had given notice to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he shonld ask a qeeit'..am of great importance in reference to the govern-. went letter to the Bank directors on the 11th of May last. Re thoneht that before parliament separated there should be a tietinite statement by the government in regard to feat letter. and therefore he wished to ask whether the government would have any objection to renew the letter., omittin" therefrom the condition which fixed the mini mum rate of Interest at 10 per cent.—(hear, hear)—which had been very much objected to by some persons. (Hear.) The I 'HA NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The ques tion of the hon. gentleman really involves two inquiries. The first is, whether I should be prepared to recommend an infringenieut of the l aw ; and the second, what are the conditions open which I should be prepared to make that recommendation if I thought it proper. Now, air. if persona of great authority in the City of Loudon, in consequence of the present state of monetary affairs, are of opinion that such a change as time hon. gettleman has tutimited should take place, and they will ma'ae a representation to that effect to her Majesty's government, her Majesty's government will give to such representation a patient and candid attention ; and after due consideration they will recommend that coerce which they may deem most advantageous to the public into-est. (Ironical loughter.) I cannot help thinking that the worthy alderman will, upon reflection, Bee that that should rather be the course to be pursued than that I should endeavour to give a brief reply to a mere casual queatiou in the House of Commons upon a matter of so,:h importance, art which requires such precise informetion to ia placed before the government, and also an oppor tur.ity for most mature consideration. (Hear, hear.) The Indemnity Rill passed through its final stages. :In committee on the Extradition Treaties Act Amend ment liill, Sir F. 1.0)LDSIIID proposed a new clause excepting political offences from the treaty, and requiring a guaran tee from foreign governments that an offender shall not be tried on any other charge but that on which Le has been surrendered. Lord sTANLEY objected to the clause, pointing out that it would exempt from extradition ca es of political asarteeination, like theini's clinic, or the recent shooting of a Fenian informer, and ex pressing a doubt whether any clause could he so worded as to be free from a similar objection. By way of showing that the present law gave ample securities against the extradition of political offender., he maintained that offences incident to political oommotions could not be included under the designation of " murder, or attempt to murder.' and that the Secretary of State, if a political offender were demanded, would have the option of not putting the law into effect ; and with regard to the latter part of the clause, hessid it wesnotthepractiee of the French executive to arrest a man for one offence and try him for another, and that if such a deceit were practised it would lead to an immediate termination of the treaty. He re minded the house that during the last twenty-three years no political offender hail been demanded, and urged the unfairness of altering the bargain without communication with the other parties, and the futility of trying to bind a . foreign government which might wish to act dishonestly by a guarantee. After some discussion in which Mr. Neate, Mr. Newle , gate. Mr. Mill, the Attorney-General, Lc., took part, Lord Stanley, in compliance with the suggestion of Mr. DWI, consented to limit the duration of the hill to one year and a clause to that effect, proposed by Mr. Kinglake, was inserted in the bill. Sir F. Goldsmid , withdrew his clause, and a clause proposed by Mr. WC. Torrens, providing that the whole of the depositions shall be laid before the committing magistrate, was , negatived without a division. The bill was then read a . third time and passed.

OPEt7-A.I I: REFORM DEMONSTR.ATION.—Laat even ing the members and friands of the Fitzroy branch of the Reform League held an open-air meeting in Cumberland market, Regent's-park. It was arranged that the members should march from Fitzroy-square, preceded by a band, at seven o'clock, but a heavy . downfall of rain delayed the procession until nearly eight o'clock. Notwithstanding the continued and increased inclemency of the weather, there were at least 3,t/U0 persons assembled in the market. Mr. W. P. Henwood presided, he and the speakers occupy. ing seats in a van provided for the purpose. Mr. Leno moved the first resolution as follows : That this meet ing expresses its indignation at the brutal atrocities com mitted by the police on the people in Hyde-park, ordered and instigated by a tory ministry, whose whole object is to crush out all popular expression on the question of reform and all other measures calculated to advance the political emancipation of the people." Mr. Odger seconded the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. On the motion of Mr. G. Richardson the following resolution was passed That the present ministry in power is a menace against good order, unconstitutional, and an insult to the people. and we hereby solicit her Majesty in respectful terms to dismiss her present advisers and recall her late ministers, thereby restoring confidence to the nation at large." The last resolution, proposed by Mr. OW and carried unani mously, was as follows :—" That this meeting pledgee it self to support the Reform League to obtain the enfran chisement of the people protected by the ballot." When the proceedings of the meeting terminated the shafts of the van in whisk the speakers sat were wired by the crowd, and the vehicle drawn by them through Munster-street, Robert-street, Hampstead-road, Portlan d-road, and on to the committee rooms of the branch, amid a scene of much excitement and enthusiaatio cheers for Gladstone, Bright, and reform. -- ----- Nearly four hundred persons, occupying sixteen houses in Newcastle-court, Strand, were yesterday served with notices of removal by order of her Majesty's Com iniasioners of Works and Buildings by who= the prpperty has been purchased for the site of the new law courts, The notices will expire on Monday next, when posserio wi ll be taken by the commissioners. The oourt hw been noto riously inhabited by the lowest dame of Irish, thieves and prostitutes.

TITE CHOLERA. kittiu Intelligence. Yesterday a deputation of bankers, merchants, and others in the City, coualating of Me. osseph Hoare, Mr. R. N. Fowler, Mr. W• , Mr. Richard ifes Wades Mr. Andrew Johnston, the Rev. F. G. Wtinffela, 'lector of St. Andrew Undenhaft, waited upon the Lo Mayor, at the Mansion-house, to ask him to put himself at their head, with a view to raise • fund in the lhty of Lon don for miuistering to the sentuities and relieving the dis tress of the poor in various parts of the metropolis conse quent upon the outbreak of cholera, • and particularly for organising and carrying out preventive measures to check the disease. The Lord Mayor, at the close of the inter view, accompanied the deputation into the Justice-room, and made a public statement from the beech. He said it did appear to him that the time had arrived when an appeal to the generosity of the public was absolutely nadir pensable for the purpose of assisting such unhappy families as either directly or indirectly had suffered from the pre vailing epidemic. No doubt there existed in various pans of the metropolis •ounsiclerable. amount of distress from death and disease, and it would well become the affluent, as he was sure it would be their pleasure, to afford timely aid to this humane movement.

HAMMERSMITH AND CITY RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this railway was held yesterday afternoon at the Padding ton station ; Mr. T. E. FOAM% in the chair. The report of the directors stated that during the past week the board had received from the Great Western and ' Metropolitan Railway Companies the draft deed of trans fer of the company 'a undertaking. They would lore no time in considering it, and having it referred to counsel, and they trusted that by the end of the month it might be submitted to the proprietors for approval. It was satis factory to observe that the intrinsic value of the line op ! peered to be fully established. Traffic accounts had not been rendered to the directors since the agreement for sale was entered into, but they noticed from the report of the Metropolitan Company that the grow receipts on the line were 36,564/. during the year just ended, as compared with 22,3571. in the preceding year, which was equivalent to an increase of 4.Z per cent. , With the rebate under the old working arrangement this would probably already cover the amount guaranteed by ' the purchasing oompanies, and the directors had no doubt that as the district became more and more populated, when the traffic was fully developed, and when the London and South Western Company's extension from , Kensington to Richmond was opened, • that a very considerable further nowise might be antiaipatM. No advantage could of course accrue to the Hammersmith and City Company from any such improve ment, but it was nevertheless a satisfaction to be assured that the proprietors had invested in a substantial under ' taking. The directors had pro fount to recommend the • penitent of the following dividends, which were receivable f inaet he Great Western and Metropolitan Companies:- 51. 6d. per cent. per annum on the original stock, fit. per Oquit on the preference stock of the 14th April, 1864, and N. per cent. on the preference stock created on the Bth November, 1865. The CRAMIAN briefly moved the adoption of the report and the declaration of the dividends recommended therein. The motion was nntnimouely adopted, after which the business concluded. POTTERIES, SHREWSBURY, AND NORTH WALES RAILWAY. ROYAL ALBERT YACHT CLUB REGATTA. PORTSMOUTH, Arayer 6. The annual regatta of this newly-established club began to-day under the unfavouring circumstances of ' something like a gale of wind from the south-west, accom panied at intervals throughout the day with heavy squalls of rain. There was only one race appointed to take place, and as this commenced at an early hour and was not ex pected to finish until the day was far spent there were few spectators beyond those immediately Interested in the contest. Indeed, beyond the decoration of the club-house and Pier Hotel with parti coloured bunting there was no-' thing to excite the least curiosity or interest, moreespecially as the competitors were during the greater part of the time completely out of sight of Portsmouth. The "event" was a schooner match for a sweepstakes of five guineas each, with a cup valued at 50 guineas added by the club, for schooners belonging to any royal yacht club ; the second vessel to receive half the stakes. The course was from the starting vessel moored off Southses beach, round the Zile of Wight, and back to the starting vessel. At the time named for taking up their stations four yachts put in an appearance, namely the Bluebell, belonging to Mr. F. Edwards ; the Madcap, Mr. J. S. A. Dunbar ; the Gloriana, Mr. A. 0. Wilkinson ; and the Witchcraft, Mr. T. Broadwood, all splendid schooners and well known on the south coast of England. A good start was effected about eight o'clock, the yachts shaping their course round the eastern point of the Isle of Wight, but they had not proceeded far before the Witch craft carried away her foretop, which in its fall severely Injured one of the crew. The yacht put about and returned to Portsmouth. The race was continued by the other three, and so far ise two of them were concerned a splendid race it was, the pace through a heavy sea being extraordi nary. The whole distance round the Isle of Wight, up-' wards of 60 miles, was completed in five hours and forty minutes. The Bluebell came in first by nine minutes., thirty seconds, but she had to make a time allowance for tonnage of seven minutes to the Mariana. Actually, therefore, she only won by two minutes and a half ; and probably this result is to be attributed in muse measure to the fact that the Gloriana also wee tutfortanate enough to carry away her -foretoranost The Madcap, finding her chance hoidens; gave in on coming op the West Channel, and did not return to the starting vesseL The regatta will be continued tomorrow, with a match for cutters of 35 and under SO tons, the prize being the Albert Ow, value 50 guineas ; and a snatch for jean, under 35 tons, for the Town Plate, value 30 guineas. On Wednesday the_ Ladies' Cup, value 251., will be sailed for by yachts under 20 tons. The Portsmouth and Bananas regatta is also ap pointed In sommence to-mcfrow. TO THE EDITOR or TUB REDRESS. ---- Sli,—During the prevalence of the epidemic of cholera in the year 1854 my attention was directed to the g eneral and particular atmospheric conditions which prevailed during the visitation. Among them I noticed a certain blue mist present night and day, which I connected I with the epidemic conditions of the atmosphere, and men- ' tinned in my report upon the meteorology of London in relation to the cholera epidemic, addressed to the then President of the Board of Health, and which was published by him. Last Monday, July 30, on looking from the grounds of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, under the trees, to wards the boundary walls of the park, I saw the same dense blue mist, which has continued without in termission to the present time, though somewhat lees in density this morning. Ordinal' , mists pass away when the wind blows with a pressure of Ob. on the square foot. Since last Monday we have had pressures of the wind varying from ylb. to 91bs. on the same area, blowing continuously for 60 to 70 hours, yet there has been no , change in this blue appearance. I have examined the atmosphere daily for this blueness, particularly during the Jut twelve months, and have never seen anything like it since the year 1854. In my recent quarterly reports to the Registrar-General up to that last published —vu., June 30 --I have stated that no meteorological choleraic conditions , had been present, and none certainly appeared up to July 22. During the following week I was in the Isle of Wight, and on my return to the Observatory, o i July 30, 1 at once saw the same phenomenon that I had remarked in September. 1854. I sat therefoie unable to say when it first appeared. This blue mist is ' apparent on all sides ; it extends fully to the top of the trees, though it is not then so easy to distinguish. It4s most easily discernible through as much atmosphere rM .possible. Viewed from under a tree, looking under other trees, thus viewed the boundary walls of Greenwich-park, and all objects near them, are coloured blue ; or through ' gaps in trees, if there are others to form a background, when it resembles thin smoke from a wood fire. The in tensity of the blue is increased when viewed through telescope with a low power. It is of great importance to know whether it is general over the country. The only other tint of mist I know connected with the prevalence of epidemic is that of a yellow mist perceptible in like manner when scarlatina is prevalent ; in neither case is there any excess of humidity in the air. I may remark that with the exception of this blueness and a mist, as seen over London and Essex, there are no other of the peculiar atmospheric conditions which prevailed in 7832, 1848, and 1854, such as an excess of heat, a stagna tion of the atmosphere, extreme high readings of the baro meter. This holds out the hope that this visitation may not extend or be of long continuance. As such researches as these are of high importance, may I ask you to publish these facts, with the view of direct , lug the attention of observers todistricte beyond my sphere of observation.-1 am, Ac., JAMES GLAISIIIeIt.
