He sadeestood that it to. believed la the City, sad thereion there was as doubt there were greands he the statements in W pealis pipers. He had no suspicion whatever that this was with the arrest of the American government--hi entirely arquitted them. He had a melt sublimed respect for that goversarat, end he believed the ',pedlar was seder their pandas and declare/ inter dam He saderstodd a noble bird ass, him to my that they had seemed the Spanish Best at sea ; his hope was that se execrable pirates. foe they were Kathie; mare *ben pirate, limes they were in amber six or eight thou send, like these who went by land to Meeks, and were sow snag to Cobs by sea, to make war an es molted* aid Meader people, would meet with ardigs punishment. He wished to ask whether km Majesty's reversmest had received say comessaisatlies Irma Mr. LlwwwWW, the Awaken minister, ea the *abject, and whether kis noble friend (the Marquis of Lansdowse) thought that the Arni ca" instrowlild, whisk was a respectable and regular government, premed sulagient power sad napes( to prevent its own suhjeete from Swop out a large espeditiaa to make war on an roffesding prole t The Marquis ot LANSDOWNE (who spoke is a low toss of voice, and wee at times quite inaudible is the gaiety) was understood to say that the noble and breed lard was right in presuming that this pleaded expedition—piratical in the wont rase of the weed— (her, bear)—wee undertaken not truly without the cognizsocs, bat with the most entire disapprohatios and diasamonsarce of the Liberian govern ment. Tie Kohl* marquis haying made some further oh servatious, which did sot neck the gallery, said that, as far as he haw, asesrances had bra gives to our rani at New Orleans that the American 'overeaten* would do all is their power to defeat the expedition. The noble marqi is made seine other obeerretione with respect to oar cruisers, which were quite inaudible is the gallery. After a fee words hem the Eul of ABZILDI2I, Lord BROUGHAM, as • lawyer sot unfamiliar with the law of nations, had no hesitation in declaring that all civil ised nations were bound to lend their help towards putting down these pirates, and that any Brit alt tuber would neglect its duty lilt did not kelp the Spaniard, the injured party, against the pirate, who was hoods humeri groats by the law of casinos. (Her, hear.) Lord STANLEY wished to ask whether the noble mar qua could give say information as to the 00000 which had bees taken by ear government, and whether any iastruetions had been seat oat to the commander of our naval fore* in the West ladies is uterine* to this piratical expedition? (Her, hear) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was not aware that the remain of an intended expo , ition to Cuba had received a tangible shape until lately, but the nutter had formed the subject of more than one communication between our go vernment and tee government of the United States He could rely repeat that we had received the most satisfactory assurener from that government of their intention to put down this exneditinn. Lord STANLEY said the noble marquis must have mis understood his question. He did not ask what the American government bad done, but what the British government had 0000. The Margo's of LANSDOWNE wee really not prepared to state without notice what nausea: es had been sent owt, iodise should not'answer the question afar noble lord. Lord STANLEY should hare thought that the invades of Cube was not a matter of indifference to the British na tion, and he should have considered that the government woult have felt it their duty, et least, to have informed themselves on the subject The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the subject had en noel the attention of the government. The naly instruc tion that unlit be sent out were eventual instructions. Lord STANLEY (with warmth).—Have any isetructions bees sent nut at all? Earl GREY.—It is contrary to all putties and the duty of the government to answer such a question. (Hear, beer ) I should soy in the present state of affairs it would be a breach of may if we were to rive say answer at all as to the orders which we have thought it our duty to communi cate to oar oral commeader in the West Indies. (Hear, hear.) Lord STANLEY.—I ass not to be taught my duty by the noble rel. (Hear, and • laugh.) His notions of what the duty of • governart is may he very different from mine, bat I say it is the right and the duty of this home to ascer tain whether the government have performed their duty by taking any step or any measures in reference to a matter in which the honour and interests of this moon are con certed ; and I say we have a tight to ask and to obtain an answer, not rto the nature of the precise instructions sent out, if any have been sent out, but whether the subject has been thought worthy of the attention of her Majesty's go vernment, sad whether they hate sent any instructions to oar naval masnander on that station. (Hear. hear.) Lied BEAUMONT—My lords— Lord STANLEY—No, no. I put s question to her Ma jesty's =Wean. They may refuse to give au answer. I doa't know whether they will do so or not, but at all events I think I have a right to know whether or not they will give me any satisfactory Lames, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—The noble lord is not the sole depository of the will of this honse. It he asks • question of me it is for me to consider whether I shall an swer that question. (Hear, hear.) Lord BEAUMONT—I must say, I am surprised at the erduct oldie noble lord in eadeavouriag to provost me from making my *bounties', sad also in preeW his question on her !Neste. governmest after the answer width he had received. In answer to the nut queries, my Noble friend below me said the subject was under the mossideratioo of the government, end in the present polities of affairs, any other answer would have been indrawn. I rose jut now to one 10y noble Snead below me sot to allow say other mower to be given to the question put by the noble lord " Vd t. BROUGHAM.—I am perfectly satisfied with the sewer pins by the government, for it mersted to We— ft is • dirt of round shoat and verbose maser of saying a very &spit thing: we absols'ely know staking about the matter. (" Hear." aid a klieg.) As the subject seems nib, I will soy nothing more thaa this—that it was the very A B C of the law of swi', that thy., invader., whether SPX) we or 2 men m at be eimeidared pirates. The Earl of ABRRDEEN—There is re toad lend= which maks the question of my noble Mend perfectly rural If - ner lordships will mallet& *eider* the whole the preparation for this ezpeditien we were es no friendly relatious with the Spanishvertmett ; Yd tlimfd" It w" natural for my noble frientilto an inquire whether—wet from oar affeetioe for Sotia—Aut whether a regard ka British interests had I'd her Majesty's government to take peeper steps to too-operate with whey powers rains* this piratical etP•di titre.

Hs thought that that might be very possible is the ease of a person not a na tive of Wales, who could net be ezpoted to speak the len. grade with all the Sammy eta maim. Notwithstanding all the hon. member had said, be had not the least reason for thinking he had been deceived in the information he had re ceived, nor say reason to regret the advise ha had given to the crown, and he firmly believed that Dr. Oliphant would, in the see of Llandeff, be an ornament to the episcopal office, sad a great aid is the spiritual instruction of the people. (Opposition cheers.) Mr. H. G WYN begged, on the part of the inhabitants of the diocese of Liendaff, to thank the noble lord at the head of the government for the appointment of Dr. Oliphant to that see. The right rev prelate was universally esteemed as a man of exemplary piety, and as being we ll acquainted with the Welsh Massage. It was no fault of the right rev. prelate's that he was not resident. A house had been bought fur him, and as soon as it could be got ready it was his iatontioa permanently to reads in his diocese. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HO MAN said that he had directed the attention of the noble lord specially to two points, namely, whether the bishop was non resident, and wheth, r or not he was acquaistad with the Welsh language. On these two points he should repeat his questions an Thursday neat. NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. In answer to Mr. STAZPOILD, Lord J.

Lord J.

(Rear, hear.) In answer to another question, the NOHLI Lotus stated that the Lord Lieutenancy (Ireland) Ban would be taken ots Monday evening. METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS BILL. The hoes* went into committee oa tide bill. Classes 24 to 26 inclusive were agreed to. On Clause 27, contracts toe funerals, Lord D.

He trusted that, on considering this qmsetion„ bon. member woeld discharge all prejudice from their minds with regard to • particular class of &Mamie, and take it fairly on its merits.

Mr. WAHLEY said Ire should not put the house to any Mennelesee, bemuse a &whin would, most probably, pleat himself and the undertaken is a great minority. But he hoped the noble lord the rumba for Bath would get up end sby that, in the making of the entracte, the under taken at point engaged urbanities in the metropolis should have the permeate. (No, no.) Mill OBEY thought it would be wrong of any member of the Board of Health to give any each undertaking as that now solicited. (Hess.) Mr. NEWDEGATZ thought it very passible that a oys ters of contracts might be greedy perverted. Ha suggested that perishes should make arraegemente for the iaterment of their own poor, beesase, by that plea, cheapness would he much better secured than by the proposition contained in the till. How, in fact, mild cheapness be obtained, whoa the bill p rovided that there should be clan 1,2, 3, and 6 ofigpuseuts, and when it was well known that the public wo endeavour as Meth a class to have their deceased friends interred wording to ass 1 ? Mr. COBDEN said it was not very often that he rote to *adorn any opinion uttered be the Me. member for War wickshire (Mr. Newdegete), but he certainly did coincide with him on the present occseios. Comp/mints had bees made of the catentatioa of thou who employed undertakers. , This arose from our being a people of caste. Each caste " was trying to emulate the caste above than ; and, while attemptlas to discourage this system, the government were, ° by patting late the preen% clause different d gr es of cute, encouraging the very thing they deprecated. The clause contained a list of payments for the interment of muter. and sera, the very thing which ought to be rendered obsolete. Sir B. HALL said that great alarm had been excited among the tradesmen of Marylebose in consequence of what they conceited to be the excessively high prim at which an artisan was to be int-rred, according to the statement re gently made by the noble lord the me saber for 13 ith. He wished to ask the noble lord what would be the whole expense, treat the time the contracting undertaker entered a Mute to the time the earth wee thrown upon a body, for the inter ment of a mechanic residing in my pert of London? &ppm a person died in the neighbourhood of St. Pancras, and was buried in any cemetery the noble lord pleased, what would be the emit in such a ease ? Lord ASHLEY said it was impossible for him to answer this question. lie oould only reply, as ha had aphid Wore, that the board believed, after having made minute inquiry, that they would be able to reduce the present charges by a Tay considerable per centage in deed. --- The asnendenent was then withdrawn. Oa the moven of Mr. &imam, the four last lines of the clause were struck out. Mr. SADLBIR then MOT( d a proviso to the effect that no contract should be entered into by the board, the expenses of whieh were to be more than 61. Sir G. GREY said he did not see the necessity of placing any reettictios of the kind on the Board of Health. The proviso was then negatived. Mr. BRIGHT then Troposed a proviso to the effect that the Board of Health should be bound to give its sanction to undertakers other than those who had obtained contracts to undertake the performsnos of Amoral* at the same rate a. the contracting undertaken. He much doubted whether this measure would ever be a popular one, but the adoption of this proviso would at all event, remove one objection to it. (Hier.) Sir G. OBEY said that then wee nothing to prevent ether undertaken from performing funerals at as low or lower charm than the eontracton. There was nothing to prevent their entering into competition with the contractors, and they would have this advantage, that, knowing the price of the cur meting undertaken, they might undersell them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman SIDNEY did not eft why restrictions should be imposed on the trade of undertaken =Gni than upon any other trade. (Hear, hear.) Ho believed the bill would prove altogether inoperative. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that the question raised by hi. hon. friend we. a most important one. (Hear, hear.) They were going to enter into these contracts in a private room in Whitehall, and he wt, afraid that there would be danger of partiality. (Hear, hear.) Lord ASHLEY said that it was the feeling of the board to distribute the business as widely as possible. (Hear, hear.) Col THOMPSON did not see why they should not contract in the present instance as they contracted in all other tame. Mr. BRIGHT 'said that his object was to pretreat the Board of Health from being allowed to hand over to any particular number of peewee the vast butinen of managing the burials of city of 2.000,000 of inhabitants. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the effect of the amendment now proposed would be to do indirectly what was openly proposed by the motion of the hon. member for Finsbury, and which he withdrew in deference to the evident feeling of the committee. (Hear, hear.) If they were to admit every person to the contract after it was made, what wou'd be the use of one undertaker bidding against another. In fact It would be no cornpetiti in at all (Hear, hear.) Mr. JACKSON would oppose the amendment on the ground that it would be extr.mely unjust to deprive a suc cessful contractor of the advantage of his contract. (Hear.) Ater a few words from Mr. Bulgur, the amendment was negatived without a division. Sir B. HALL maintained that he was correct in what he had stated with regard to the amount of (et* in St. John's wood burialleround. The fee of a pound which the noble lord said was demanded for the ground, was demanded from lodgers, and not from rate•paying parishioners. On the motion •hat clause 27, as amended, be agreed to, Lord DUDLEY STUART moved that it be expunged. They had all tri,d trek hands at amending it, but road left it nearly as bad as it stood originally. He denied that this was a poor mates bill, for it would have the effect of violating his feelings on a most tender point, by compelling him to have a parish burial. The committee then divided— For the clause Against it The clause was then agreed to. On the 28th clause, which provides for the removal of the bodies to hotpitals, with the consent of relatives— Sir 0. GREY stated, in answer to a question from Sir W. Clay, that there was not the slightest intention of giving the board any compulsory power of entering houses. The clause was then agreed to. Clause 29 provides that salaries may be paid to ono mem berland the offilen of the Board of Health. Mr. HUME inquired out of what fund these salaries were to be paid. Sir G. GREY said that was regulated by the 42nd clause, which directed the salaries to be paid out of the fees re ceived.__ consistent. The ohject;l the ciaups;as;;t to fee dem, but to distribute the contracts as widely as possible among those who should be willing to contract to conduct funerals at a certain specified ram. Should the undertakers refuse sea body to enter into such contrasts, the elegies of course would be inoperative ; but he had good reasons Pu believing that such would not be the case. Mr. WYLD.—Perhaps the Attorney-General would say whether the clause was permissive er compulsory ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, that it would be entirely permissive for every person to avail himself of the contract entered into by the Board of Health, with some undertaker in hie district, to conduct funerals at a certain charge, or to employ say other undertaker as he might think fit. Mr. SADLEIR wished to know whether it would sot be open to the relations of a deceased person to order a mo"t ex pensive funeral, which they would he wholly unable to pay for ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was not likely an undertaker would take such an order under such circum stances. It would be better to leave the smatter in the bands of the Board of Health q d titmice the class of !antral is the eases of poor persons. Mr. SADLEIR remarked that there was nothing to prevent a poor person ordering an expensive funeral, if the contract was to be cn credit prices; and if, as was Mit likely, the undertaker gave in his prices for ready money, the consequence would be in numerous leashes, to prevent the poor from providing themselves for the funerals of their relations, and throwing the burden on the parishes. Mr. BRIGHT thought the incessant attacks which had been made upon the undertaken by the friends of this hill, both la and auto( the house, were scarcely justified. The ex orbitant nature of undertakers' bills arose from the Coolish pride—the vanity.of people in ordering expensive funerals. He saw coming down to the house that day a funeral procession, oonsining of a hearse, some half-a dozen mourning coaches covered with velvet trappings and feathers, a man march ing in front with a hlrt of platform on his bead, out of whisk appeared to grow a whole forest of black plumes—all was needless pimp and foolish pride—there was the 11.111- blame of woe, perhaps, but none of the reality. What reason had the person who gave orders for such a funeral as: that to complain of the exorbitance of undertaken' charges? 'The sect to which he belonged took a very oil. knot course. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh.") They never Pat on mourning when any of their relatives died—they sever encouraged or permitted—(he did not mean to say there was any positive law against it, but opinion was against it)—these sembbuiese of woe, an d so far as the under takers were concerned, they n neceeded is practising th e i r extortion upon them. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. MACKINNON observed that the hon. member had merely shown that much vanity was inherent in human nature, and be himself bad afforded proof that the Quakers were no more free from it than titbits. (Cheers, and laughter.) Though their vanity did not extend to funerals there might be amongst them the vanity of oratory—the vandy which amassed superior ability, superior virtue, and superior wisdom to all others. (Lenghter.) The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY knew so reason why the hon. member for Manche ter should impute vanity to thin who endeavoured to show their affection end respect for their deceased relations and friends. (Hear, hear.) He might as well impute to vanity (as he had heard it im puted) the straight, formal dress by which the sect of which the hos. gentlemen was a member chose to diatinguith them selves from the rest of the crommunity. (Much cheering ) Mr. T. BUNCOMBE tithed to ask the noble lord the member foe Bath what was the reduction he expected to effect in the price of faunal" ? (Heat, heat.) Fur that was the real question after all (Cheers.) Me. BRIGHT wished she to ask whether the Board of Health intended to restrict the number of andertaken, or whether • very undertaker might come forward and say that he wooed furnish the funerals is by district see urdiug to a certain prescribed scale of fees ? Lnrd ASHLEY thought the beard would have no power to restrict the number of mad. rtaksrs, but that they w• old have 'he power of appointing the number who were to when , t h e die,. Te,,re *O, however ' nn limitation, and the tir rk was to be unmated by contract, limas impos sible for him tea say what was likely to be the scale o: charge' fur wait funeral. But, of this he was perfectly certain, from minute inquirin which had b en iastihated nose the ern den upon this subject began, sad the MVO revert smile of charges h been instituted amongst the sedenaken, that the 13.).ril o. Health would he able to redoes those enlarges, and that they would find parties ready to enter into coo -1 tracts at 26 or 30 per cent. below the charges now • sowed Sir H. WILLOUGHBY—Win they be subject to the control of parliament? Sir G. GREY replied in the affirmative, and referred to the 69.. h clause. When the matter was brought Debate the house, it would be open to soy hon. member to objcot to the smoust of any salary, and move its redaction. Mr. BANKER mid the report of the board wee ordered to be laid before parliament is March; he wasted to know n hen any member could object to any part of the report. Sir G. GREY—The day after it is printed. (Laughter. ) Mr. BANRES—But we all know the difilini:ty of finding those days. Sir 0. °Riff, in answer to farther quotient, said the firing of the salaries In the first instance was vested in the Lords of the Treasury ; at present, it could not be asoer.ained how many officers and what am mot of salaries might be necessary. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE asked whether the newly appoinied member of the board and the secretary would have sone in t►at home.

As to analogy, he observed, that when the Reform Bill was pawed, the proprietors of Old Sarum were not thought entitled to compensation ; nor were innkeepers or postmasters, on the establishment of railways; nor agriculturists, on the repeal of the corn laws. (Hear. bear) He teethes con tended that thee* fees were am claimable by law. Sir B. HALL said th e propusiti en be and hon. gentlemen who thought with him Imbed to place before toe house wait, that compensation should be given only to the (lamina fecumbeate, and not to those that came after them. (Hear, hear.) Now, he wished to put the matter before the house on this broad principle, whether the pen. pie of that metropolis, those that were to come after the present generation, should pay for the interment of their relatives and friends large sums of money, and to a clam of gentlemen for doing nothing. (Hear, hear.) At first, in the former bill, it was intended to give compensation in per to clergymen, as at present, on an average of five years ; but it being tbeught that the incomes of clergymen would hereafter become too large under that regulation, a clause (the 31st) was introduced, which empowered the com missionen of the treasury, or other nflieiel persons, having the sanction of the Bishop of London, to reduce the incomes of incumbents lest they might become too great. He was prepared to show to the house that the incomes which would be derived by them under the pres. at bill would be much larger than were c intemplated in the former bill, by 17.5 per cent., on an Increase of the population at the rate of 45 per cent. (Hear, hear.) On a former occasion, he (Sir B. Hall) asserted that the bill altogether was redolent of the Bishop of London and Mr. Chadwick; and he had it from ucquestionable authority, that the amendments now sought to be introduced by the gnvesnment emanated from the bishop and metropolitan incumbents, with a view to maintain and increase their incomes. (Hear, hear) Ater • few words from Mr. NSWDEGATII and 111 r. Hums Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know where they were to get compensation for the clergy. It could not come, according to the arguments of one hon. gentleman who now supported the clergy, from the consolidated fund. He thought that this clause it it passed would be extremely unjust and injurious to the charac•er of the clergy. Ile would therefore support the amendment of the bon. baronet. Lord ASHLEY mid that he would soy a few words in favour of the clergy and in favour of the demand which they made. In the first place, he woulc state to the house that when the cholera existed to the fullest extent in this country, the poorest of the clergy. when called upon to open the graveyards of their churches, immediately di I so,and did not look for or receive any comeeniation. He thought therefore that there should exist a desire to compensate men of that description. This bill intended to give them some remuneration for their services in consecrated grounds. At prism a great part of their tees went from them to dis sestets and Roman Catholics. In mower to Mr Hrue, _ _ The ATTORNEY GENERAL Paid that at present no fee could be recovered by the common or the canon law by a clergyman ; hat it could be recovered by the clergyman as by a person havieg performed services for ►nother. The committee divided : For the amendment 94 Aga'not it Sir B. HALL ob.erved that the noble lord and the hon. gentlemen had stated that there would be a large reduction in the income of the clergy. Thee was the incumbent of tae pariah of St. Pancras, to whom it was propose,l to give a fee of 6.. 2J., or 175 per cant. added to his income. At pre sent he had duties to preorro, and he was compelled to per form those duties. In that parish there was a population of 118,000, according to the last census. Then supp.tse it was now 130,000 ; they would go on increasing this yearly, and in • few yeare it would be doubled and trebled. In Marylebone, the fee wua only 41. 4d., and now they were giving 45 per cent. in addition for nothing. Therefore, what he proposed was to reducv the sum from 6s. 2d. to 4•. 4d. Sir G. GREY wu undentooi; ;a; that this was not the only fee received by the clergy, but the average fee had been 6i. 9d. or je. _ _ _ . Sir B HALL mud that 4s. 41. was the fee received for about 70 per cent. of those who were buried in Marylebone, and that 2s. 63. was received for the same proportion of per. sore buried in St Pancras. Lord R. GROSVENOR thought that as the clause now stood a great numb., of incumbents would be losers. Mr. HUME asked why the house should not have before the m a list of what was paid in each perish ? He wished to know whether the ge was made upon the deaths or the rates, without respect to the number of deaths. Sir 0. GREY said the average was mule with reference to the deaths. (Hear. hear.) Sir W. JOLLIFFE could not offer any opinion as to whether 64. 21. or 4s. 4(1. was the rust amount; but he I thought that it was most unjust to make compensation, not in proportion to present value, but to what it might be when the population secs doubled. Mr. BRIGHT said that if the average were struck upon the whole number of burials it would come to one sum, and, if made according to the number of parishes without reterence to the actual number of burial( it would come to an entirely different sum. The house, he mull ray, was asked to do what would bring a great amount of odium upon the clergy of Louden, and likewise on the measure i'self, and taking both these circumstances into account be th 'tight the go. v. amount would only be acting a wise part if they postponed •his clause for the present with a siew to its being Tee msi dered. The day of reek Iniug for the church was not far distant, and would prove a still heavier undertaking, if, in the interim, the government did not take the side of the people and of justice instead of allowing themselves to he brow beaten as he believed they now were by the Bishop of London. (H.ug, hear.) After a few words from Mr. NEWDEOATB against, and Mr. HUME and Kr. WTLD in favour of the amendment, Bir B. HALL said that bmora he dividet he wished to know at there wan any objection to postpone the clause. Sir 0. GREY did not see what was to be gained by post ponement. and declined. Sir B. HALL—Then I withdraw the amendment, and move that the chairman report progress. Mr BERNAL—Tne hon. baronet cannot withdraw his am-admen% without the consent of the committee. Mr. HUME.—Then, sir, 1 move that you report pro grime. (A laugh.) The house divided en this motion, when the numbers wire— Ayes 52 Noel l44— 92 Aldermau SIDNEY said that in the three hurial;rounds connects d with his part of the City there were &Reread rats s °letterer, viz , 31. 4d., 4x, sod Is. He therefore thought they had imperfect data to go on with, and begged to move that:the chairman do leave the chair. After an observation from Mr. Hums, Lard J. RUSSELL said he would not trouble the house with any more divisions, but would consent to the chairmen's reporting progress. However, in order that the bid snioht not be unnecesurilydelayeii, he should move that the house meet at twelve on Monday, Alter a few words from Mr. HOULSURN, Mr. HUME protested against the meeting of the house at twelve on Monday. He and many other meu.bers taking interest in the hilt would be engaged in commit% es. Lord J. RUSSELL said that on a bill like this on which members had something to say on every word art every clause he did not see how they could possibly get on without morn ing sittings. Sir B HALL denied 'that there was any factious opposi tion. If government reheard information as to the data on which the rate of compensation war tounded, thy must not be surprised if members representing the constituencies who were about to be taxed in perpetuity gave th.m some little trouble. With respect to the early sitting, be had been en gsgea in the morning at a meeting of his cousiituenta an the very su•ject, and therefore should certainly give the suggestion evert oppoeltion in his power. hlr C. LUSHINO EON was a'sa opposed to the early sitting on Monday. Ilia sonsti!tionts were leeenlinerly dis satisfied with the precipitancy with which the bill was being hurried through parliameet. Alter some further conversation, Dm chairman reported progress. Ou the question that the committee be resumed at 12 on Tuesday next, H-. BOUVEUIR moved that 12 be leR cut. _ The house divided. The numb. rs were-- For the motion fur •akoig the hill at 12 o'clock on Tend.) 4 41 r 0 GREY was uadentood to say that there was nuthicg in the bill to render this imperative. In shower to Mr. NEWDZOATZ, Sir G. GREY said the Board of Health was not established In perpetuity by the bill, but only for three yea's, win n the whole subject would again some before parliament. Mr. WYLD asked, if in the event of the machinery being discontinued the officers could claim compensation. Sir 0 GREY replied in the negative. The obtuse eat agreed to. 0a clause 30, which gives compensation to incumbents and others, Sir 0. (IRBY said that since the bill was first introduced be had unified two amendments in this Claw,. Represent ations had been made to him that if no fee was elbowed en the burial of those bodies which were interred et the exoense of the union or parish, with the exception of those cues where the deceased parties had been members of the church al Ragland, there would be no minister iw attendano, to peons the service over them. He therefore proposed to hunt in this clause, and astain in the 38th claim, the hi!. hewing words :—" And when snob body is Awned at tie expense of any union or parish, • stun not exceeding toe shilling." The only other amendment was in hoe 24, the 4,1 of of which would be to prevent any fee &dog taken in nip 'et of the removal of • body. Sir B.
