Agreed to. LICENSING THEATRES. Mr. LOCKS asked the Socrotary of Stat. for the Home Department, whether his attention had been directed to the present state of the law as to the liconeiug of theatres and other places of amusement in the metropolis ; and whether ft was his intention so bring in • bill on the subject! Sir G. GREY—My lineation has been drawn to the sub jet, which is varyoomplicated, and the more so because the law rests on old statutes which are in • certain degree obso /Ma My hon. friend the Under Secretary for the Home Department intends to move for a select committee to in quire into the law upon the matter before any proposal is made to the legislature with regard to it. THE POOR IN THE METROPOLIS, Viscount CRANBORNE asked the President of the Poor law Board whether it was his intention to introduce any staasuro for more effectually securing the execution of the laws relating to the poor in the metropolis. Mr. C. VILLIERS—It is my intention on an early con dor to introduce a bill for securing the more effectual ex motion of the laws relating to the relief of the poor in the metropolis, aid that measure will be founded or the report made to the house by the committee appointed last session to inquire into the subject. THE SUEZ CANAL. Mr. SANDFORD asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the award of the Emperor of the French in the affairs of the Suez Coos' had been defi nite', sompted ; and, if so, whether her Majesty's peers mot adhered to that award, and whether they would lay the papers relating to it apes the table of the hone. Mr. LAYARD—Ia answer to the hon. member I have to state that the award of the Emperor of the French ia not yet complete, but inquiries are to be made by • commission appointed by the Turkish, the Egyptiao, and the French governments. That commission is now eogsged in its investigation. QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.—RETURN FOR KING'S COUNTY. Mr. AYRTON drew attention to the practice of the house in heard to the returns of the elections of members, the presence of which was held not to be indispensable to a wiembet's taking his seat ; and brought forward the ease of Mr. Itionnetsy, in the King's County, who it had been stated by the sheriff had • majority of votes over Sir P. O'Brien, the sitting member, though • mistake h making up the numbers had put Mr. Hennessy in the minority. The consequence was that as Me. Hennessy's name did not appear in the return, he could not take his seat, though duly elected. He urged that opportunity should be gives to correct the error, and this might be done without prejudice to the right of peti tion in any party aggrieved. It would be dangerous to the privilege* of the house if, when a misdate in a return was made, the boon could not deal with it and correct it. Be moved that the sheriff of the King's County be called to the bar to be examined on the matter. Sir P. O'BRIEN pledged his honour to hie belief that he was in a majority at the election. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL urged that the course pro =ewaa contrary not only to the practice but to the ats of the house ; for it would be in substance an evasion of the law which the house bad laid down for itself, and which was, that all questions of electing should be dealt with by • constituted tribunal of its own ; while here it was asked to act in • matter relating to • return on • motion brought forward at the instance of a private in 0- vidual. It would not be competent to the sheriff, who was pules officio when haunch his return, to give any informa tion on the subject. The motion was withrawn. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Sir G. GREY moved for leave to bring into • bill to amend the law minis, to contagious or infectious disease I. cattle and other animals. Having at length stated the different measures which bad been adopted by the govern. ment aad.the recommendations which had been made to meet the evil, he argued that all opinion was against any hops of any means of curs being effectual, and that the only way to check the disease was by the "laughter of infected animals, by the prohibition of the movement of ye cattle by railway and road, and the alaughto mg and ditposiog of the hides of all cattle coming to thy country by sea, at the points of de barkation ; and proceeded to lay down the principle of the till be was to propose, namely, that rules should be laid down from which local authorities should not be allowed to depart ; and to trust to the able and zealous cooperation of those local authorities. It was proposed to require tkuszter sessions in counties and municipal author'. tam in boroughs to cause to be slaughtered all infected animals in Moir own districts. With regard to animals not actually infected, but from circumstances of wand or vicinage likely to be infected, it was proposal that power be given to the local authorities to direct them to be slaughtered, although the provision was not to be imperative. The priociple of compensation would be adopted ,• not exceeding two-thirds of the value of the animal, or 201., sad is other three-fourths of value, or • maximum of 251. All animals dying of the disease were to be buried so as to prevent infection, and the peo niess in which they died to be disinfected. It was not, however, proposed entirely to prohibit no removal of cattle, bet to leave it to the local authorities to sot in this respect at their discretion, under general mulattoes applicable to the wholocountry, such as that so cattle shall bemoved alms( a high road by night, and that there should be no move ment of cattle by rail or road except by license from the local authorities ; while power was to be given to anon persona violating these rules and punish them, while the tattle so driven should be instantly slaughtered. Power would be given to proclaim and isolate infected place'. All fairs and markets for store cattle were to be pro hibited for • limited t'me, while those for fat tattle were to be licensed. None of the beasts should bo slaughtered them With reg.rd to cattle brought by see, it was proposed to place all other ports in thy same position as to prohibition as was now the case in London, but this was act to apply to Irish cattle. The bill would generally be limited till July, 1867, while some of the special provisions would be limited to 15th April, with power to the Queen in Council to extend the duration of their operation. With regard to penalties, M lam than four cattle were moved the penalty would be 201, or 11l a hood for any greeter number. As to comensatime, it was maned that is ocountios and borough* local rates should furnish two-thirds of the expense, and the other third to be raised by a cattle rate imposed on all adds above one year old of five shillings a head. He stated that t would be open to divide the bill into two parts, in order that those provision' which wore immorally approved of might blooms law at coons. It was invaded that the bill should Maid for a second reading on Wednesday. Mr. G. W. HUNT thought in bill stringent, but not abiagen enough ; mid he proceeded to state the provisions of • romance ha had himself prepared to the effect that airingent restrictions should be put on the removal of settle, these being, that from let to 25th March there should be no movement on roil or road, aid a uni versal slaughter of infected or nucleon animals, local allanghtor-hososa beteg provided for the purpose.

The discussion wu outinued by Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Leeman, Mr. C. Bruce, Mr. G. Rebow, Mr. Liddell, and Lord J. Manners—who suggested that as so oomprebensive measure u that proposed could not be pasted immediately, the house should embody its main provision* in reso- lutions. In the eourse of the diveassion. The LORD ADVOCATE stated that In the bill measurea would be taken to combine the proprietors and tenant. farmers in the local executive which would be established. Colonel BARTTELGT bad hoped that the government would have been prepared with a bill of about five clauses, whereas he feared from the right hon. gentleman's speech that his measure would have a hundred, that it would take too long to pass, and be too complicated for the country to understand. Sir G. GREY said that if the hon. gentleman brought in his bill of five clauses he should be much obliged to him. (Laughter.) The resolution was then agreed to; the house resumed, and the Chairman reported the resolution. PENSIONS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the granting of pen sions to persons holding certain offices connected with the administration of justice. The hon. gentleman explained that the object of the bill was to place certain pensions, which were now granted by the Lord Chancellor out of funds within hie control, under the general operation of the Superannuation Acts, which regulated pensions in general. Provision wee also mad* with respect to offices whioh re quired special professional qualifications, to which pensions by length of service would not apply. Leave was given to bring in the bill. THE LOSS OF THE STEAMER LONDON. The official iuquiry, instituted by the Board of Trade, into the circumstances atteodiog the [modeling of the steamer London, was resumed yesterday at the Green wioh Police-court, before Mr. Trail!, the district stipeudisry masidrate, sod Gaptaine Harris and Baker, the nautical armors. Mr. O'Dowd, addressing the court, said be had conscon- Muted with the Collector of Customs at Plymouth, with the view of securing the attendance of Captain Pries, of the Courier, who was stated in some of the newspaper paragraphs to have passed close to the stern of the London on the day preouding the &master. He had received a telegram to the effect that Oaptaia Price, in consequence of tbs very heavy sea which rouged at t h e time of his rude; the ship, less unable to discern her name, but she was evidently in distress and heading to the westward, and it wan • mere conjewure on his part that she must have Wen the London from the disabled state in which she appeared to be. As Captain Price was not able to give any evidence of • more satisfactory character, he (Mr. O'Dowd) did not think it his duty to send for him unless the court expressed a wish to have him present. Mr. Train thought it would be advisable to ascertain from Captain Pike whether the ship was going head to wind, and to know whether any attempt had been made to secure assistance from him. Mr. O'Dowd said he held in his hand the Western Daily Press (a Bristol paper), in which there was a paragraph stated to have been written by the editor on the authority of Captain Price. It was as follows :—" Last night the captain of the ship Courier arrived in this city from Plymouth, and kindly furnished us with the fo ll owing information. On the afternoon of Wedoesday, the 10th of January, the day preosdiug that on which the emigrant skip, the London, was wrecked in the Bay of Biscay, he was on his voyage to Plymouth, end was io the same latitude and longitude as that ill-fated vessel has been shown to have been in at that time, and observed what he believed to be the London, evidently in great distress. Her forstopgallantmast end jibboom were gone, and she was labouring very much. No smoke was issuing from her funnel, and she had no way on. Her head was to the westward, and his inference is that after the Loadon bad put beak for Plymouth her course had been again changed by the violence of the storm. Theooerier passed within a quarter of a mile of the steamer, but owing to the heavy state of the weather he was unable to make out her name or discern whether any one was on deck, although the Courier passed so close. No signals of distress were displayed from the steamer. Had the captain ' °heaved any such signals he would have hove to, and would, if circumstances bad permitted, have taken all the passengers and crew on board his ship. A few hours after the Cou rier passed the steamer a fearful hurricane arose and con tinued during the night. The Courier did not arrive in Plymouth until Monday last, having been unable to reach that port earlier in consequence of the violence of the storm, and having been driven up as far as Torbay." Under all the eirmimatancee he believed it was essentia that they should have the captain. Mr. Traill—l think so. Mr. O'Dowd—With reference to the allegation of the ship having been excessively laden, we have gone into some evidence on that point, but upon an inquiry of this im portint character it seems to me that the very bunt evi dence io regard to the weight of mgcbinery, boilers, water, cargo and provisions should be addnoed. Mr. Humphreys has been examined, but there woman omission in not asking him as to the weight of machinery, boilers, and water, and I hold a certificate signed by him to the tffeat that the weight of these was about 160 tons. Mr. Traill expressed • wish tohear some oral evidence on this point. James Johnson, a draughtsman In the employ of the Messrs. Wigram, woe then produced by Mr. O'Dowd. He deposed be had made drawings of the London, and bad the necessary ealonlatioos as well as the scale of displacement. On referring to thews calculations, he found that the weight of bull, masts, rigging, anchors and chain, water tanks, kantledge (210 tons), coals (45 tone), and engines and boilers, amounted to 2,020 tons. The water in the boilers weighed about 40 toss, the boats 10 tons, tails 4 tons, water in tanks 78 toes, provisions 55 tons, stores 20 tons, passengers, °Morro men and e ff ects 24 tons, coal, 473 tons, cargo (deed weight) 345 toss, measurement goods 960 toes, which, taking 100 tons measurement to 35 toss of weight, would leave 341 tons. Total weight, 3,410 tons. The witness in reply to Captain Harris said the tonnage would give a draught of water of 20ft. 3in. according to the male of displacement. The heads of the combings of the fore, main, and after hatches were 12 inches each. The combings of the engine -room hatch were not given in the drawing, but he should say they were 11 itches, the distance from the frame to the sky light being 7 inches more. . . . . Mr. O'Dowd said he proposed to produce what was called expert evidence u to the condition of the ship and her sea worthiness. as admitted by Lord Ellenhorough to the judges is " Beckwith and others against Sydebotham," 1 Campbell's reports, page 115. The marginal note ran thus, "after the evideoce of persona who have examined the ship's condition, experienced shipwrights who saw her may be called on to say whether upon the facts sworn to she was, in their opinion, seaworthy or not." Wm Basoomb, 39. Ashburohatn-grove, Greenwich. de poised he was Admiralty overseer for shipbuilding under oontractfor the goverment, and was at present superin trailing the building of the Northumberland. He held the reek of foreman of the shipbuilding yard at Devooport. He superintended the building of iron and wooden vowels, and was overseer at the building of the Warrior. He was directed by the Controller of the Navy to attend the pre sent inquiry. The Clerk of the Court, at the request of Mr. O'Dowd, reed the evidence of Mr. Waum, surveyor at Lloyd's, re specting the coostruction and sea worthiness of the Lon don. The witness was also furnished with a drawing of the ship. Mr. O'Dowd—Will you state your opinion u to the pro portions of the ship Landon, bearing in mind the evidence you have beard read ? Witness—She is well proFortioeed. She assimilates to the Adventure, a screw steamer, used as a ;troop ship in her Majesty's service, and a very good ship. Mr. O'Diewd— When was the Adventure built? Witua—l do not know. I think she was built by Messrs. Laird, at Bit keohead. The witness continued to say that he was pleased with the thickness and quality of the material of the Loudon. The combings of the ships, the construction of which be was now superintending, were 15 inches. The combinp of iron eased ship; were higher than those in wooden ones, inasmuch as the former were more liable to take io water than the latter. He saw a gun vessel, the combing of which was not more than ten inches. With regard to the engine. room skylight, according to the sketch produced, he did not think it unsafe. The only advantage as regards comb ings which the Admiralty ships bad over wooden ones was that the bad an iron grating on the top of their combine. He perceived that the beams of the London ran through at the engine-room hatchway, end he considered this a great morovement in merchant ships. By Mr. Traill—Os looking at the drawing of the engine hatchway of the London, be considered it substantial, although he should not have pissed it for the Admiralty without the iron grating or dead lights fitted on the top of the amble's. Mr. Trill—On observing the skylights would you have anticipated such an accident as that which has taken place ? Witness—l would not. By Captain Baker-1 believe the means of escape of the water through the scuppers and plug-boards to have been sufficient. Replying to Mr. Train witness said if be had been on board of the London at the time the skylight was washed sway be would have put plinks across the hatchway, and if they were nos easily available be would have ordered thicarpeater to tear up the lower deck in order to pro- cure some. The witness, in reply to Captain Baker, said be con sidered it would be advinable to protect the eogioe hatch ways of steamers with iron grating or shutters fitted to the combings. Captain Baker—Did yon ever hear of a skylight being washed away before? Witoess—l did not. Captain It•ker—Nor L The witness said that, looking at the drawing of the app.:deck, he perceived there was • deck-hones, of the existence of which he was not aware previously, and he con sidered from thin circumstance that the combings of the London ought to have been higher. The inquiry was then adjourned until half-peat 11 to-day. Lummox, Film National Steam Navi gation Company's steamship Queen, Captain Grow, from Haw York on the 31st January, passed Holyhead at 3 p.m. to-day. Her news has been anticipated. SSRIOINI ACCIDENT.

It appear s that .in the upper part of the house is whet is called a ' pit," in which a large quantity of pewter is melted for the purpose of in 11 casting connexion with the business. While some fifteen men were engaged in or about the operation of casting yes- bard', afternoon an explosion of this metal took plans, the result being that the number of meet mentioned were severely burnt by the molten metal Ondeed in some of the came which were conveyed to Bt.

There wee sn average attendance today at the great West-end TAUte2VOI4.I, and although speculation did not tike a wide range, there were some important movements in connexion with one or two animal., Student being *specially conspicuous for both his early engagements. At the Victoria Club, in the morning, there was such a rush to get on Mr. Merry's horse foe the Two Thousand that all the available 4's to 1 were soon disposed of, and the consequeue was that before a tithe of the commissions could be executed layers refused to epring the very shade of a fraction over 7to 2. At Kni 4 htsbridp the Dams obstacle stood in the way of intended backers, who were limited to a prior., and, therefore, nothing was done. sto 2 was eagerly sought for about Lord Lyoo ; but with him again bookmakers declined taking any liberties at that price, and in some instances hie friends were under the necessity of accepting 11 to 4, or "going without." 1,100 to 1,000 was laid 'gunk the two favourites (coupled), and 100 to 50 was taken about Lord Lyon, with a start, while Janitor, who was supported at 12 to 1 generally, found one backer who took 1,000 to 100, also " with a start.' For the Derby 6to 1 was o ff ered on the fi eld, but at 13 to 2 Rustic would bavebeen a "hot'an." Student's improved position for " the Guiseas," had a manifest effect upon his Derby chance, an offer of 1,100 to 100 being snatched up before the operator bad time to repast the proffer. This put • stop to soy further opposition to Mr. Merry's bores. 1,000 to 50 was booked twice about Auguste, and 1,000 to 40 once about Janitor. An old outsider, Duke of York, was supported by his noble owner to win 10,0001. at 100 to 1, after which one or two followed at the same pries.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Fas. 12. After Term Nisi Prim •t Weetnierter.—(Before Ilse Lad Chief Jetties and Special Juries.) CAMPBELL 11, LORD WERLOCIL In this ease, after further evidence, the jury refixed fin consider their verdict • and having returned into eV declared it to be In 'favour of the plaintiff, dame se guineas. GOBI O. WALPOLL This was an action for trespass sod false imprisonment, brought against the Rash; Hon. Mr. Walpole is his official capacity's( Secretary of State for the Horne Department during Lord Derby's gcvernment. The defendant pleaded first, not guilty ; 'secondly, a justification ; and thirdly, the statute of limitations. A similar action was tried some months aince in the Court of Common Fleas, the defendant being then the Right Hon. Bit George Grey. On that occasion the jnry returned a verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff again, as on the former occasion, conducted his own case. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Hansen were counsel for the defeodant. The plaintiff, who read a most voluminous statement, said he claimed compensation in damages from the defen dant for trespass and him imprisonment in illegally detain ing him three yeah and nine mouths in the Queen's Prime end in Bethlehem Hospital, and also for having coedned him whilst in the Queen's Prison with criminals. The plaintiff claims 5,0001. damages. He was detained two years and • quarter of the time in Bethlehem on the ground of insanity, whereas he said he was as sane then as he was now. He said he suffered the most cruel tortoise of mind whilst in Bedlam, enough to break down most minds, and inflicted for the pe•pose and with the intention of justifying the defendant's conduct by appearances, if they could mews pliah that object, and exculpating the date:dant by prevent ing his ( the plaintiff) taking proceedings at law against him. He had, he said, been seat to Bethlehem in defiance of all law. In 1855 he was first taken in execution for 966 costs in an action in which he was plaintiff, and confined in the Queries Prison, and it was for hie removal from that place to Bethlehem as • lunatic th►t he complained, the Prison Act not applying to hie ease but only to criminals. The P3lieitor-General said the sole qnestion here was whether Mr. Walpole sated right in ordering the plaintiff's discharge from Bethlehem. The complaint of sending him there by Sir George Grey had been tried and disposed of in the COOIII3OII Plena. Mr. Gore said he was met back by the defendant to the Queen's Prison, which he emitesdad was an illegal set, sod be then wrote the particulars of torture be had been subjected to in Bethlehem, by exposure to the inclemency of the weather almost naked, being spat upon, and otherwise treated with indignity, in order if possible to provoke him to riots of violence. The Lord Chief Justice said the action was not with reference to the treatment in Bethlehem or from Copt. Hudson, the keeper of the Queen's Prison, but only for what Mr. Walpole bad personally done, and far which, if it was an erases of his authority, he was liable. Mr. Gore, however. stillwent op readies his statement, and urged that Mr. Walpole had no suihority to remand him from Bethlehem to the Queen's Prison, but that he should have been taken before a judp at chambers, and by him reminded to the Quees's All the Secretary of State amid do was to have re delivered him to the Queen's Prison, to be taken before the proper judge to be remanded ; and therefore he was illegally received and detained in the Queen's Prison. The Lord Chief Justice said remanded did not mean remanded by a judge, bat bin delivery into the hands of the marshal of the prison, to be taken back to prison. It I was a splitting of hairs. Bethlehem was not a prison. He had no wish to interrupt the plaintiff, but be was taking up a great deal of time, he feared tunneceesarily, becalms how was be to pt over the statute of limitations The Solicitor-Gemmel said it satirely rested en that. The I,' rd Chief Justice said it was better to come to that at once, for it must come to it after he bad given his evi dence, which would probably occupy until to-morrow even ing. It was a pity to waste the time of the jury unneoem sal ily. Mr. Gore said he thought he could get rid of the statute of limitations. The Solicitor-General said the act complained of occurred more than four years ago. It wee in 1858. The decima tion was cautiously drawn, stating that in 1858 he wee unlawfully detained in the Queen • Prison eight months and 14 days, contrary to law, and then by way of damages he claimed for having been detained upwards of three years. Mr. Gore contended that the defendant was liable for all the detention he was subjected to in the Queen's Prison. He however persisted in reading through his written state ment, sod when he came to that he said he contended the action did not accrue or come to pass until the time of the detention bad expired. The Lord Chief Justice said the injury was inflicted from the hour the wroogful act was committed, aid the statute of limitations commenced to run from that time- He asked the plaintiff when be was liberated. Mr. Gore—ln 1862, and the action was commenced in 1864. The Lord Chief Justice said that anything anterior to October, 1860, was got rid of by the 'Matte of limitat'ons. The Solicitor-General said the rely statement spies* Mr. Walpole was, that he ordered the plaintiff out of Bethlehem, and wires that was done be was remanded 011 the original warrant of Sir George Grey. The Lord Chief Justice said be never could have got out of Bethlehem except for Mr. Walpole. He however was imbued to think he could not stop the case them, as by the terms of the warrant he was inclined to think Mr. Walpole might have made himself liable fora portion of the detention. The plaintiff then went into the witness-box. He de posed—l am a chemist by profession, but I have devoted my time of late to gas patents and patents for mines. In 1856 I was arrested for costs in an acti on , and taken to the Queen's Prison. After I got there I was asked to join in drinking and gamblieg, and as I would not join I was called names and insulted. I oomplained to the governor, and an inquiry was instituted. but it was dismissed. The annoyance and insult then grew worse, and I wrote spin to the governor. No inquiry was made into it, the governor sending Mr. Colville to me to say he could not interfere. I then threatened to report the governor to the Sec retary of State if he did not protect me from annoyance. At an interview I had with him I struck the table with my hand, saying I would report him if be did not give me protection. He got up from his chair in a rage, and said I should have prwection. On the following dui Mr. Colville brought a medical man to me, and after that was sent to the strong-room. My family came to see see every day, and I had the uncontrolled nee of knives and razors. I had no keeper with me in the day, but I had one with me at skirt I was kept in the strong-room for seventeen days, and on the 9th February Mr. Colville told me I was wanted. I went with him, accompanied by my daughter, to the governor's onkel. I there saw Mr. Wickham ' surgeon, who came up and gesticulated, and miid, " You sbould not have threat ened then." When the doctor first came to me I ailed him if be had come to see me at to my state of mind. He replied that he had. I told him he was a maps, in the Lands of the keeper, aid asked him if he was not ashamed of the job. The doctor saw we several times afterwards, and on the 25th he sent Dr. Griffiths to me. On the 9th of February I was put into a cab sad taken away. The Lord Chief Justice—You can't go into this evidence; it has nothing to do with Mr. Walpole. It was done dur ing Sir George Grey's time, and the inquiry must be limited to what Mr. Walpole did. Do you dispute the sanity, Mr. Solieitor-Oeneral _ . _ The Solicitor-Geoeral—l don't see how it arises. Part of my case is that the plaintiff was sane when Mr. Walpole discharged him from Bethlehem. The previous question of @salty or no insanity does not arise. The Lord Chief Justice said be doubted if the Secretary of State could inquire into insanity or no insanity. He had only to act upon the report sad avertificate, and direct the removal of a reported inane prisoner. If the action had been against Sir George Grey or Mr. Hudson, that would be another case. The defendant found the plaietiff there under a valid order until it was set aside, and all he had dons was to discharge him out of Bethlehem. As the de fend ant had not pleaded insanity, there was no iseeesslty for the plaintiff's going into that question. The Lord Chief Justice—Your complaint against Mr. Walpole ia, that he did not keep you is Bethlehem until all time. _ _ Yr. Gore—l complain that he did not discharge me, but Messily sent me heck to prison. The Lord Chief Justice—By the sot the Secretary of elate's power is limited to his making an order for you*, be re-delivered to the custody of the keeper of the prison. Yr. Gore—l wieiplain that I was not discharged. The Lord Chief Justice—Yr. Walpole bad no authority to do so. _ _ The Solicitor-General did not cromozamioe Um plaintiff. A poiot arose with regard to the pleadings. as to the wale rant issued to take ,phuotiff back to the Queen's Prison being improperly worded, in assuming that the tint order was correct, when in feet it must have been wrong, there being no hmanity, The farther bowing d the ease was then adjourned. The convict Charlotte Winsor has made a written confession of beg goill, giving minutely all the a.- tail' of the murder of the child. The statement is composed princinallv of alleged courertatioss betweee herself and her accomplice Harris, and in it she reiterates the dada' that she au the actual murderess, but admits that 'be was semiasory to the crime, and endeavoured to caporal it obit desired that her hands should take charge of tbe docu ment and " advertise" it in the newspapers.

LABOURING CLASSES' DWELLINGS. Mr. CHII.DEBB moved for leave to bring in a bill to enable the pubFo works loin commissioners to make advances towards the erection of dwelliop for the labour ing clams io populous places. By the acts of the 14th and 15th of Vietrria, e. 31, and the 18th and 19th Vie., a 132, powers were given to local bodies, vestries, and companies, to borrow money from the government for the purpose of misting in the erection of dwellings for the labouring climes. These acts proved to be wholly inoperative, and it was for the purpose of enlarging the facilities that the peewit bill wee introduced. It proposed to advance money at 4 per cent. interest to individuals or public oompaniee, for the purpose of erecting dwelliop for the labouring classes, the money to be so advanced not to exceed half the amount expended, and to be repaid by instalments, render the usual conditions. Provision was made for suing that the money was applied to the object intended, and that the buildings were suitable. The necessity of increasing the house accommodation for the labourieg chases was ad mitted by all, and it happened soeidentally at this time that the additional donation by which Mr. Peabody Rep plemented his muoifioent gift to the poor of the metro polia—(hear, bear, and cheers) which cow brought up that fund to 250,0001., efferded a nucleus in the direr,- tion in which this bill proposed to go farther. An expenditure of about 60,0001. had provided accommoda tion for 850 persons—(hear)—and the rents at the mode rate scale of charge adop:ied showed very satisfactory re sults. In the papers of that owning the report of another society formed for the erection of buildings for the labouring classes was published—he alluded to the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company, of which Alder man Waterlow was chairman. (Hear, hear.) Tbat society showed the same result as to capital and income that Mr. Peabody's trust had produced, and gave further evi dence that moderate assistance such as the present bill would authorise would produce most beneficial results. The necessity for such a measure was amply shown by a report recently made to the Metropolitan Board of Works by their engineer, Mr. Bulagette, in which he stated that the projects before Parliament for the present session for the construction of metropolitan railways included within the limits of deviation about 16,000 houses, and would involve the demolition of 1-60th part of all the houses in London. He would have another opportunity of going into the details of the measure. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KINNAIRD was glad thit thit government had taken up the subject to be dealt with by the bill. He would give his hearty support to the measure. Mr. LOCKE regarded the bill as likely to go a great way to meet an admitted and growing evil. He believed it would turn out to be one of the greatest boons that could be conferred epos the metropolis. Sir H. VEaKEY also expressed his intention to support the bill. . . . . . Leave was then given to bring in the bill, which wee sub sequently introdnoed and read e r.t time. CATTLE PLAQUE. On the motion of Mr. Hurry the home went into com mittee and leave was given for the introdoctios of a bill to prevent the spread of the cattle plague is Great Britain. IKPROVENENTS IN PARLIAMENT-SIREN?. Mr. COWPER moved for leave to bring in a bill to the Chief Commissioner of Works to acquire the buildings between King-street, end Parliament-street se far as Charles street. The purchase of these houses bad bees in eastern pletioo for some time, and now it had become necessary to pull them down. Mr. LOt7KE wanted to know why the biome down to Westminster Abbey were not to be purchased, as it was quite certain they would have to come dowe, sod it would be better to purchase before the property increased io value. Mr. COWPER said it would be desirable to purchase the remaining block of houses, but they could not form part of this bill. After a few words from Mr. Longs, leave was given to briog in the bill, and it was afterwards read a first time. HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER. TO THE ADDRESS. Lord PitonY appeared at the bar and raid—l am em powered by her Majesty to convey the following answer to the address of this house :—" I have received with sincere satisfaction your loyal and dutiful address. The assurance whioh you give of the interest you take in all matters which concern the domestic hap piness of myself and family is most gratifying to my feel ings. I rely with confidence upon your attentive consider► tion to the measures which will be submitted to you, and your endeavours to improve the laws and to advance the welfare of my people will always receive my cordial co. operation." _ _ _ The answer was ordered to Bs on the tibia. The house adjourned at 5 minutes to 12. EARL RUSSELL AND TEE CATTLE PLAGUE. A deputation from the Royal Agricultural Society waited on Earl Russell yesterday in reference to subjects connected with the cattle plague. Lord FtviltSll/.1( introduced the deputation, and read the resolutions of the council of the society, which have already appeared in our oolumna. A pLin for carrying out the °onetime measures for staying the cattle plague was also submitted to his lordahip. In reply, Earl RUSSELL agreed that the cattle plague had increased, and was increasing to a large extent ; but there was this to be said, that measures could not be adopted some months ago that could be adopted now, and therefore much greater facilities existed for allaying its progress. With regard to the troaveying of dead meat from one part of the coun try to another, he believed measures bad been taken that were not in operation some months ago that would make that a much easier work than it was then. He understood the society were not of opinion that all the sound animals should be slaughtered, as was done in Aberdeen ; but at the same time he must observe that precautions ought to be taken to prevent the removal of cattle from a herd or farm where the diocese had broken out for • very considerable time, as he had heard of several instances where two or three cows had died, and the owner being in • hurry to dispose of the rem.ioder sold them at a low price - and although the &tamale appeared to be sound th e disease broke out amongst them. He believed the plague was spread is this way. It was therefore desirable thus although all the animals should not be slaughtered there should not be any immediate sale or removal of them. He thought the means of preventing such removal might be Improved. It was proposed by she goveromeat, in order to facilitate the action of caustics and boroughs, that in all towns below • certain size the county magistrate should have • jurisdiction wi th the borough magistrate, so as to make the action uniform. Then the neoenearyexpensee should be charged on the county rate. The government proposed to impose a county rate, and also to lay • tax of so much oe the owners of cattle. The prohibition of the tamed of all animals by road or rail should likewise be provided for is the bill to be brought in, with a limitation as to time. It should not be continued longer than was neomeary. With regard to the slaughtering cf all animals at the pert at Iwhich they were landed, there was some difficulty as to the terms of our commercial treaty with foreign nations, and it was to be considered whether there should be • special prohibition for foreign animals. Of course it was • matter . of considerable difficulty in a country where the oortsump- Coo of meat was so great to make effectual regulations, and therefore there were many points on which there might , be a differeam of opinion as to the carrying out of parti ' ruler regulations in particular places, but the power of putting barriers against the progress of the disease ought to be increased. When measures were adopted there would be • willingness throughout the country to submit ! to privations which in the ordinary ststkof Shipp would not be submitted to. In answer to Mr. DIET, Earl RUSSELL said he imagined that the local , would set by some general and uniform rule =th . e l mamma which were to be adopted.
