DARING STREET ROBBERY.—Michael Collins, John Johnson, and Wm. Smith, three determined-looking fel lows, were charged before Mr. Readon with assault, and stealing a purse, containing some silver, from the person of Mrs. Mary Ann Slade, an elderly lady residing at Acton, Middlesex. The prosecutrix, who is very infirm, said that on the previous afternoon she was passing along Oxford-street when the prisoner Johnson pushed against her with great violence, which act was repeated by the others, causing her nearly to fall to the ground, and at the same moment she missed her purse containing some silver. The purse pro duced was the same. Abel Dickens, 306 A, said he saw the prisoner, who was running at the stop of his speed, fall in the road in conse quence of coming in collision with an omnibus. He went to his assistance, thinking it was an accident, and offered to assist him to a pump to cleanse himself from the mud, when he very gratefully declined his offer, saying he did not wish to " trouble him," and he was about leaving him when a person came up and said he was concerned in a robbery, and was escaping. The whole of the prisoners were then taken into custody. Cording, 126 C, produced the purse found in the area of 414, Oxford-street. Wm. Thorp, 7, Queen-street, Grosvenor-square, said he saw Johnson throw something away in Oxford-street. Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoners. THAMES. SANGUINARY AFFRAY.—Thomas Murray, a seaman, who presented a frightful appearance, and Thomas Smith, a notorious and desperate thief, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with violently assaulting and wounding Charles James Childs, a police constable, No. 193 H. The parties appeared to have been engaged in a terrible conflict. The constable was in a weakly condition from loss of blood, and his head was bandaged. Murray was put into the dock with nothing on but his shirt and trousers, which were covered with blood. His head was also en veloped in surgical plaisters. It appeared from the evidence of the constable that Murray was very much intoxicated last night, in Back Church-lane. He consumed a quan tity of oysters at a stall, and then refused to pay for them. A mob got about him, and he went from place to place making a disturbance, and striking at every one he met. He begged of the sailor to go home and he refused to do so. He took the seaman into custody and he went quietly some distance, and then suddenly began kicking and plunging and struck witness and kicked him several times. A violent struggle took place, in the midst of which the other prisoner, §Mith, came up, jumped upon him, and, as he was getting up, kicked him on the eye, and inflicted a severe wound. He received other kicks and blows and was disabled. Other policemen came up and took the prisoners into custody. Mr. Selfe—How did Murray get his head broken? Childs—He was extremely violent in the station-house, and assaulted several persons. A police sergeant who was injured struck him with a walkingstick: Smith is a thief, and he threatened to serve me out on Sunday night when I prevented him from committing a robbery. He belongs to a lawless gang of thieves. Mr. Thomas Hall, of No. 16, Eastcheap, confirmed the statement of Childs as to the occurrences of last night, and he said that in assisting Childs b e was robbed of his watch. Mr. Selfe fined Murray £3, which was paid, and sentenced Smith to one month's imprisonment, and also ordered that he should find sureties to keep the peace. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN THE LONDON DOCKS. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report) The most fearful scene that has probably ever occurred within the London Docks since their open ing happened yesterday forenoon, and was attended with the loss of one life, a serious destruction of property, and almost fatal consequences to upwards of 50 persons—firemen and dock servants. From the best information that could be obtained from the officials and others engaged in the estab lishment it appears that between nine and ten o'clock yesterday morning some of the men em ployed on the East Quay had their attention called to a peculiar sound, proceeding from the south end of the eastern brandy vaults. At first it was ima gined that a portion of the arch of the vaults had fallen upon some of the casks, and thereby caused the unusual noise. Mr. Chandler, the principal ma nager of that department, was at once communi cated with, and that gentleman promptly attended with a strong body of labourers and the firemen of the docks. Upon opening the doors it at once be came manifest that a fire, and one of no little magni tude, was raging amongst the brandy stored away in this part of the premises. It should he here stated that this portion of the property covered between 10 and 11 acres of ground, forming fonr distinct compartments of cellarage, separated by party walls and double iron doors. In these four departments were deposited many thousand " pieces" of brandy, and when the exist ence of the fire became known in the immediate neighbourhood the most fearful apprehensions pre vailed amongst the many hundred poor persons liv ing near, lest such an enormous quantity of spirits should become ignited, and blow up the whole of the vaults. Fortunately such did not occur; if it had, the work of devastation unquestionably must have been carried amongst the shipping in the basin, and also into the many houses outside the walls of the docks. Nevertheless, from the dense vapour emitted it was quite manifest to all present that the flames had obtained possession of no inconsiderable portion of brandy casks, and all the engines stationed at the different entrances to the various warehouses, as well as the hands employed, were summoned to the place, and the company's power ful floating engine was also drawn to the edge of the basin. The hose of the different land engines were dropped into the basin, and the machines were called into operation; as well as the float, but the difficulty which then presented itself was, how was any one connected with the docks able to carry the hose under the arches, so as to be able to distribute the water upon the exact scene of the conflagra tion. Many made attempts to get to the spot where the flames had commenced, but they were obliged to return very quickly almost .exhausted. Intelli gence of the disaster having been forwarded to the London fire brigade, in the course of a few minutes the engines from IVellclose-square, School-house lane, Jeffrey-square, Watling-street, Fartingdon stree, Holborn, Crown-street, Chan dos-street, and the two powerful steam floats, reached the spot under the direction of Mr. Fogo and Mr. Hender son, the chief officers of the A and D aistricts, and Engineers Bridges, Maidman, Holloway, Perryer, and a great number of other oficers. This power ful force at once went to the assistance of those con nected with the docks. The first thing sought to be accomplished was to do, what the local firemen were unable to effect, and for that purpose the dif ferent hose from the two steam floats and several land engines were taken into the long range of vaults. The moment the water was discharged, the most serious part of the day's proceedings com menced, for all of a sudden a cry was raised, " A man off the float in the water." This unfortunate man it seems had gone on the dock-floating engine to assist in working it, but by some means he lost his balance and fell into the water. The drags were at once obtained, and whilst the men were dragging for the poor fellow, a still more fearful scene happened. Mr. Fogo and Mr. Henderson, with about twenty of the fire brigade and some thirty of the dock hands, went into the cellars for the purpose of reaching the fire, when they were struck down by the heated vapour and became insensible. For the space of a few minutes it was feared that the whole of that first number of men had perished, when the brigade lamps were lighted, and others were sent down to render assistance ; but the mo ment they reached the vaults, so strong was the vapour that the lights in their lamps were extin guished; the men were thus left in total darkness, and it was impossible to tell in what portions of the cellars they were owing to the vast accumulation of vapour. The patent smoke jacket was then sent for, but owing to the narrowness of the passages between the rows of casks of brandy, it could not be used, and ropes were obliged to be dropped into the vaults, and the firemen and. others, with the assistance of those not so much exhausted, assisted in hauling the men out. They were taken at once to a couple of sheds, where Dr. Brown, the brigade medical officer, and nearly 20 of the local medical gentlemen, attended and did all that was possible to restore the unfortunate sufferers —and, fortu nately, their labours were crowned with success, tut the different persons suffer still from excessive pains in the head, though nothing fatal is appre hended from inhaling the heated vapour. The body of the man who fell off the dock-float was found in about. 7 minutes. It was placed in a warm bath, but owing to the poisonous nature of the water into which he had fallen, life was extinct. The deceased, it was understood, was named Jacob Marrit, and was employed in one of the warehouses of the docks. The fire brigade, and also the dock firemen, kept to their work, and many thousand gallons of water were thrown amongst the brandy casks, but, in spite of this, the conflagration could not be said to be entirely extinguished until late in the afternoon, when the vapour had so far cleared off that the firemen were enabled to enter and examine the place, when they found that about 50 casks of brandy had been destroyed, and a great number of other cases of brandy severely damaged, many of the casks having the wooden hoops burned off, and, being kept together only by the iron ban dages. The spirit contained in these, it is hardly necessary to state, must have been greatly deteriorated in value, for to such a height did the heat rise that even the bungs were driven out of the barrels by the force of the fermentation. The official report describes the damage done as follows :—" The stock of brandy in three arches destroyed, and the goods in another partly con sure ed." The returns for the week that ended last Satur day show a further and rather formidable increase of the deaths in London. The weekly number was below a thousand in June, till near the end of the month; it then rose above a thousand; in the first week of July it was 1226, in the following week the number was 1400, and last week it rose to 1605. The mean temperature of the air in June was 61.4 deg.: in thred weeks of July it has been 69.1. deg. An increase in the heat of nearly 8 deg. acting in connection with other circumstances that are necessarily unfavourable to • health, has been attended by an increase of 600 in the deaths. In the ten years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the week corresponding with last week . was 1064 ; but as the deaths included the pre sent return occurred in a population which has in creased, they can only be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase, namely, with 1170. The result of the comparison is un usually unfavourable as reg ar d s the present time, for the . 1605 deaths of last week exceeded by 435 the number which the avera ge ra te of mortality would have produced. On referring to the causes of death the increase , is found under diarrhcea, th e d e aths from which rose last week to 415, a number which is much greater than that of any week in previ▪ ous years. The average numb er in corresponding .weeks of 1849-58 (corrected for i ncrease o f p o pulation) is i 108 ; the numbers previ ous l y range d f ro m 51 n the year 1850 to 259 in 1857. It is important to re mark that the complaint was far more fatal last week in the east dist r i c t s , part i cu l ar l y Shoredit▪ ch, Bethnal-green, Mile-end, than in the other metro politan divisions. Of th e 415 deaths f rom diar rhcea 153 occurred in the ease districts, although they comprise little more than a fifth part of the population of London. The disease was also fatal in Kentish Town, where no less than 16 deaths occurred from it. A large majority of the fatal cases, as was shown in former returns, are amongst infants, 381 out of the whole number in the present return having occurred to children who were not two years old. Of the remaining 34, 10 occurred to children more advanced, only 4 between the ages 10 and 60 years, and 20 at 60 years and upwards. Besides the deaths from diarrhcea, 39 were returned as caused by chol era , c h oleraic diarrhcea, & c. , 9 o f which we , e the deaths of adults. Scarlatina was fatal in 48 cases, diptheria in 8. Four deaths were recorded in the previous week as the result of th e unusual heat ; last week e i g ht o f a like slescription we re returned thus :— A b o y, age d 6 years, died on th e 14 th inst. in Isl i ngton , f rom congestion of the br a i n and convulsions, f rom h ea t of the sun (12 h ours ' ill ness) ; a on the 13th, from convulsions girl, aged 9 years , and symptoms of cholera, bro ug ht on b y exposure to heat; a brick maker's labou rer , age d 21 years, on the 16t h , a t Sydenham, f rom sun-stroke, conges ti on of the brain ; a sugar-baker, aged 32 years, on the 11th, in Whit ec h a p e l, f rom congestion of the brain produced by heat and labour ; another sugar-baker aged 34 years, on the 18th, in the London Hospital, suddenly from sun-stroke ; a solicitor, aged 77 years, on the 17th, na t ura l d ecay, accelerated by the ex cessi▪ ve heat of the weather ; a man, aged 68 years on the 20th, from natural decay, and debility from the heat of the weather (10 days) ; and a weaver, aged 46 years, at 36, New York-street, Bethnal green,. on the 18th July, from coup de soleil from theadvne egde k h. ▪ or working in a factory with a glass' roof. With re ference to this last case the deputy coroner states that the medical evidence was conclusive that the sun's rays produced inflammation and congestion of the brain, and coma. . Last week the births of 855 boys and 748 girls, in all 1,603 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849- 58 the average number was 1,491. A . t the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean deg.(as determined abo th e average rag Mr.e of Gi a the ish same er height of the barometer in the week was 29.756 in.

A fearful conflagration, resulting in the destruc tion of the huge mills situated on the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, at the north end of this town, occurred yesterday afternoon. This is the second time the same buildi and its contents have been totally destroyed. The first oc casion was on the 17th of May, 1853, when it was used as a cotton mill. The loss on that occasion was estimated at £102,000. The building was since then rebuilt as a rice and flour mill, and was of great extent. Li shape it was cruciform, eight stories in height, and after presenting a long frontage to the bank of the canal, extended back the same height for a conside rable distance. Attached to the mill are ranges of offices and a series of terraced cottages four stories high, erected for the use of the work-people. The fire was first discovered about half-past one o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the alarm was imme diately given. Expresses were instantly sent to the fire-engine stations, and engines ani hose were promptly brought to the scene of the con flagration ; but between the time of the discovery of the fire and their arrival the devouring element had made such rapid progress that the whole mill was in a blaze. The character of the building and the nature of its contents —grain and rice—all con spired to hasten the catastrophe. Within an hour and three-quarters, of the mill itself only portions of the outer walls were standing, and from their immense height great fears were entertained that they would give way. The canal furnished a plentiful supply of water, and the engines, aided by the hose attached to the 'mains in the street, were mainly directed to save the offices and houses of the work people. There has not as yet been time for investigation, as the contents of the different stories are blazing fiercely piled upon the ground within what of the walls are standing; but there is no doubt what ever that several lives have been lost. Many have been bruised severely, and were conveyed to the hospital. Nothing, as yet, has transpfred as to the origin of the fire, but it is presumed to have commenced in the lower portion of the mill, for the work-people were seen, in their efforts to escape, jumping and dropping from the windows three and four stories high. Thousands were collected on the farther bank of the canal, in the fields, and streets adjacent, but everywhere in the immediate neighbourhood of the front of the mill was kept clear by the police and a detachment of military.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THis DAY.) The SPEAKER, took the chair at 12 o'clock. ELF,CTION COMMITTEES. Sir F. BARING presented a report from the General Committee of Elections of the members appointed to serve on the Maidstone, Norwich, Bury, and North Leicester shire election committees. PRIVATE BUSINESS—LONDON CITY GAS BILL. Sir W. CUBITT having withdrawn his opposition to the further progress of this bill, it was, after a few words from Col. FRENCH, read a third time and passed. The Pneumatic Despatch Company Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. THE INDIAN MUTINY. Mr. ROEBUCK . presented a petition from Calcutta praying for indemnity for losses sustained in consequence of the late mutiny in India, and gave notice that to-morrow he should call attention to the statements contained in the petition, and move that it be printed with the votes. After the presentation of several petitions on various subjects, the house resolved itself into committee on the SALMON FISHERY BILL On clause 1 being proposed, Mr. HOPWOOD suggested that as the bill contained many important provisions, it ought to receive full consi deration, which would be impossible during the present session. He therefore suggested that the bill should be postponed. Col. W. PATTEN concurred in the suggestion, and added that it would be desirable that the provisions of the measure should be considered by a select committee, with a view to amend the laws relating not only to the taking, but to the sale of salmon out of season. The suggestion was adopted, and the Chairman having left tho chair, the bill was dropped. RAILWAY COMPANIES ARBITRATION BILL. On the motion of Col. W. PATTEN this bill went through committee, and was reported without amendments. IMPRISONMENT FOR SMALL DEBTS_ BILL. The house having gone into committee on this bill, Mr. COLLIER, who had introduced the measure, ex plained that he did not seek to interfere with the existing law relating to debtor and creditor, or with the jurisdiction of county courts. as was supposed by the writers of certain letters in the public journals; but his object was simply to enact that no commitments should in future be made with out hearing, as was now the practice. At present there was a difference of opinion among the county court judges on the provisions of the existing statute, some of them holding that they have power to commit a debtor to prison who does not appear on a judgment summons, and without inquiry; others entertain the opinion that they are bound to hear the debtor before they commit him to prison. A return moved for last year by the Attorney-General showed that last year no less than 8,000 persons had been committed on judgment summonses. It must be remembered that these imprisonments did not discharge the debts, but was in tended as a punishment for not obeying the orders of the court. In some cases at Durham, for instance, the persons so committed were treated as felons. A letter from the governor of Carlisle gaol showed him that he had received into his custody two girls so committed, one for a debt of £1 Bs. Bd., and the other for lls. 10d. The writer added that he had one old man who had been committed seven times for a debt of £9, and had been in custody at various times for twelvemonths, a longer imprisonment than he would have been sentenced to if he had stolen the money. These were real cases of cruelty, and the object of this bill was to remove the only stigma on county courts, and to render them a popular source of the administration of justice. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was of opinion that those county court judges who adopted the practice of com mitment without inquiry had put a wrong construction on the act. This construction had been adopted by thirteen or fourteen out of the sixty county court judges, and there fore he thought the public was indebted to his hon. and learned friend for having introduced this measure. The first section of the bill had received the approbation of the ma • jority of the county court judges ; but with regard to the second clause of the bill they were of opinion that it would tend to upset altogether the system of credit now in opera tion with the labouring classes, and would be productive of much misery to that class in times when employment was scarce, owing to the fluctuations in trade, and therefore its enactment would be impolitic. This was set forth in the report of the standing committee of the County Court Judges, which had been formed at the instance of the late Lord Chancellor (Lord Chelmsford), with a view to ex amine and inquire into the. operation of the County Court Act, and the provisions of the bill now under consideration. The report was worthy of consideration, and he trusted would induce the house to be of opinion that it would be impolitic to interfere with the law at present in force, with respect to credit for small amounts. 'When the committee came to the second clause he hoped these considerations would not be lost sight of. • Mr. HENLEY observed that the commitment without inquiry was in pcencon, and in the nature of a criminal pro cedure. It never could be intended that a man for a small debt should be committed time after time without inquiry. He therefore supported the first clause, which would set at rest this system whieh operated so cruelly upon the poorer classes. There ought to be but one remand when fraud was proved, as was the practice of the Insolvent Court; and not commitments ad infinitum. ,Mr. CLIVE said that his experience as a County Court Judge had led him to believe that none but fraudulent debtors were ever committed. He, however, concurred with his hon. and learned friend the Solicitor-General, with re spect to the fir clause of the bill, which he thought to be unobjectionable. With respect to the second clause it was not yet under consideration. Mr. PAGET expressed his fears that an attempt to do a great right would effect a serious evil upon the working classes, by such an enactment as that which the second clause would carry out. He should therefore move " that the chairman do now leave the chair." Mr. E JAMES could not believe that the stability of the system of credit would be endangered by the abolition of imprisonment for debt. That fallacy had been exploded by the committee which sat on the question of the abolition of arrest on inesne process, and experience had shown that credit had not been endangered by the abolition of arrest for debt under £2O. He supported the bill, and trusted that some limit would be put to the terms of imprisonment ordered by County Court judges. Major STEWART drew attention to the fact that in his county the majority of county court commitments were for debts incurred with hawkers who travelled the country, and induced wives to take their wares unknown to their husbands. He knew many instances in which, for debts incurred with these hawkers, young females, under 19 years of age have been committed for several terms. He therefore hoped that this bill would receive the sanction of the Legis lature. Mr. AYRTON called upon: the hon. member for Not tingham (Mr. Paget) to withdraw his amendment and to allow the bill to proceed. The house could not better occupy its time than by the consideration of this measure. Mr. HODGKINSON objected to the change in the law proposed by this bill, and supported the amendment moved by the hon. member for Nottingham. Mr. PAUL concurred in the views enunciated by the hon. and learned gentleman the Under- Secretary for the Home Department (Mr. Clive), and hoped the committee would be allowed to proceed with the bill. Sir G. C. LE WI S thought the committee was in a position to proceed with this measure, and seemed to be disposed to do so. He would, therefore, join in the suggestion that the amendment ought to be withdrawn, and the committee allowed to go on striation with the clauses of the bill. He denied that the system of imprisonment originated with the present county-ccurt judges, but the practice had been im ported by some of the county-court judges who had been judges of the old Courts of Request. Mr. PAGET withdrew his amendment, and the el ause was agreed to, as was also the preamble, and the bill was ordered to be reported without amendments. HIGH SHERIFFS' EXPENSES BILL. On tliiequestiondialhisbilll3e now committed, Mr. WISE moved as an amendment that " the house resolved itself into committee on this bill on this day three months." The object sought to be effected by this bill was so trifling as not to be worth the paper on which the bill was printed. It purported to diminish the expenses of the sheriff, but it did not deal with those of the dinners, the equipages, and the like, of these high functionaries, but simply with the javelinment and other minor expenses not worthy of being the subject of legislation. The bill sought to chargo county rate with something like £lO,OOO per an num for the expenses of the sheriffs, who already received, under a vote of this house, a similar sum for providing lodgings for the judges and matters of that kind. He gave the bill his decided opposition, and trusted the house would be spared the trouble of going into committee with it. Sir J. V. SHELLEY thought the bill ought not to be postponed, as it might be disposed of in a very short space of time. It would do away with the gingerbread parapher nalia of the javelinmen, who usually did not belong to the soberest class of the community, and on this as well as on other grounds he was prepared to support the bill. Mr. DEEDES opposed the bill, which proposed changes which ought not to be conceded without full deliberation. This would be ensured by referring the subject to a select committee. Mr. HENLEY remarked that the bill proposed to sub stitute the police for the javelinmen in keeping order in court, but he doubted whether any of the Police Acts gave the High Sheriff any power or authority over the police force, and therefore he should object to the bill, and should support the amendment. Major PARKER also opposed the bill, which would en tail upon counties the expense of an increased number of police. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that some objections had been made to the bill to which he did not think it justly liable. He did not think that these javelinmen, or Sheriffs re tinue were at all necessary in t h ese peaceful times , an d he did not believe that any addition to the county pol The would be necessary for the preservation of order in court at the asstzes. On the whole, he was of opinion that the bill, though crudely drawn up, was deserving of consideration. Mr. HUMBERSTON thought that the whole subject of sheriffs' expenses should be considered by a select commit tee, and a bill brought in by and on the responsibility of the Government. Lord HENNIKER supported the bill, and urged the house not longer tc delay its progress. Mr. HUNT also supported the bill, which wentjavteorniesmtabeinn lish a practice which had already been acted upon. in th e county which he represented. The system worked well, and it had been found that the police were more effective ' ' maintaining order in court than the county ever had been. asn assistenecessary s s the ary in e changerorder Th e m ld agi th s a tr t a t c h y e b co m ul w d Mr. J.

LONDON CORPORATION BILL, On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill being read, Mr. G. CLIVE proposed to postpone the bill to Monday. Sir J. V. SHELLEY hoped the Government would state whether they really intended to proceed with the bill at all. Mr. E. JAMES joined in that hope, as the utmost ex citement prevailed on the subject in the City with respect to the measure. After a few words from Sir JAMES DUKE, Mr. G. CLIVE regretted the momentary absence of the Home Secretary, but observed that he would be in his place and be able to answer the appeal made to the Government before six o'clock arrived. The order of the day was then postponed to Monday next. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. On the motionfWgeinginto committee of supply, Sir C. NAPIER complained that no attention had been paid to the subject of the management of Greenwich Hos pital to which for several successive years he had called the attention of the house and of the Government, and there fore he should persist in the motion, of which he had given notice, by now moving, as an amendment, that " an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to appoint a commission to inquire into the management of Greenwich Hosßital:" WHITBREAD opposed the motion on the ground of the expense and the length of time (six months) which the inquiry would occupy. He trusted it would be left to the Government, so recently come into office, to avail them selves of the autumn recess to inquire into tlie revenues, the expenditure, and the management of the great nautical es tablishment at Greenwich. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE thought that five or six naval officers might be appointed as a commission to inquire into the matter during the recess, and that expense ought not to stand in the way of inquiry. Sir G. PECHELL supported the amendment, though he thought the abuses did not exist so much at Greenwich as at the naval head-quarters, the Admiralty, at Whitehall. Mr. LYGON urged the postponement of this inquiry till next year. Mr. BRISCOE said that, it being admitted that evils requiring correction existed, and no attempt at rcm3dyhav fug been mads, he should support the amendment now moved by the hon. and gallant admiral (Sir C. Napier). Mr. LAING opposed the amendment, and urged that the inquiry ought to be left in the hands of the Government in stead of an inconvenient and expensive commission. Mr. J. LOCKE remarked that the promise just made had been made by successive Boards of Admiralty eery year since 1842. No inquiry lutd, however, been made; the evils were not remedied, and he should cordially sup port the propositio n o f hi s hon. and gallant colleague. Mr. T. HANKEY was not prepared to refer so impor tant a question to a commission of four or five old admirals, and could not concur in transferring the inquiry from the Executive Government to an indefinite body. After a few words from Mr. SPOONER, Sir F. T. BARING said he had considerable suspicion of inquiries conducted by committees, and thought it better to leave the inquiry to the Government, who should be held responsible for providing a remedy for abuses and evils which - were admitted to exist. Mr. ROEBUCK supported the amendment, for he was not prepared to leave it to the Government. The commis sion was wanted in order to exhibit to the house the exist ing- evils, and then it would be the duty of the house to hold the Government responsible for providing a remedy. Mr. ANGERSTEIN opposed the amendment. The house then divided, when the numbers appeared— For the original motion 142 For the amendment B2 Majority —OO The house then resolved itself into a committee of SUPPLY. On the vote of £15,985 to defray the expenses of the National Gallery being proposed, Mr. CONINGHAM moved as an amendment to reduce the vote by the sum of £650, charged as travelling ex penses. He reminded the committee that last year the house had struck off the charge of £650 for the salary of tra velling agent, but that sum appeared in the present estimate under the item of travelling charges, and what he asked had been the result of this outlay for travelling charges ? Why, eight [pictures bad been purchased at an outlay of £3,000, and he ventured to assert that those pictures, so far from being worth £3,000, were not worth £l5O. Mr. W. WILLIAMS regretted that the hon. member had limited his proposal to the striking off the charge for travelling expenses when there was a balance of £8,500 already voted, which had not yet been expended. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex plained that the vote of £lO,OOO had been secured for five years, and he hoped it would not now be interfered with, especially as an important sale, that of Lord Northwick's pictures, was on the eve of taking place. lie thought £650 a trifling charge for travelling expenses. Next year it might be well to take the whole subject of the National Gallery into consideration. After a few words from Sir C. BURRELL, which were wholly inaudible, Mr. DAN BY SEYMOUR inquired what arrangements had been made by the Government for the removal of the Royal Academy from the National Gallery to Burlington house. He deprecated the expense incurred by the erection of temporary buildings at South Kensington, and asked if the late Government had pledged their successors to any particular plan for a permanent building. Lord J. MANNERS reminded the hon. member that the arrangements of the late Government had been explained at great length by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer many months ago. Mr. R. SPOONER supported the amendment moved by the hon. member for Brighton. It was notorious that this country paid a price for pictures which was never thought of by other countries. Mr. TITE had seen every gallery in Europe, and was convinced that the British National Gallery was no dis grace to this country. He opposed the amendment. Mr. BENTINCK supported the amendment, and re marked that all these votes ought to be cut down until it was known that the defences of the country were properly and efficiently provided for. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had not had an opportunity, during the short time he had been in office, of reviewing the arrangements made by the late Go vernment with respect to the removal of the Royal Academy from Trafalgar-square, or the disposal of the site of Burlington-house. Lord J. MANNERS said that no definite arrangement had been made by the late Government with respect to Burlington-house, and therefore the question was entirely open. Mr. STIRLING opposed the amendment, and defended Sir Charles Eastlake from the imputations cast upon the management of the National Gallery. After a few words from Mr. CONINGRAM in explanation, The committee divided. The numbers were— For the original vote l7l For the amendment Majority ..----131 Mr. R. SPOONER then moved to reduce the vote by the sum of £lO,OOO, which appeared in the estimate for the purchase of pictures." During the last 12 years no less than £2,000,000 had been expended under the head of arts and sciences, and he objected to such an appropriation of the public money, when it was proposed to make a man earning £2 per week pay an income tax. Mr. CLAY expressed his intention to support the pro posed reduction on the ground that he was dissatisfied with the existing management of the National Gallery. Mr. W. WILLIAMS also supported the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that on neither of the grounds urged against the vote could he assent to its reduction as proposed. After a few words from Mr. CONINGTIAM in support of the proposed reduction, The Committee divided. The numbers were— For the original vote 136 For the amendment Majority -72 The original vote was then agreed to. The next votes of £6,349 for scientific works and experi ments, of £5OO for the geographical society, and of £l,OOO for the royal society, were agreed to without discussion, and the house reserned. The Income Tax Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. The Boundaries (Ireland) Bill was nal a third time and passed. The Local Government Supplemental Bill went through committee and was reported with amendments. The Dwellings for Labouring classes (Ireland) Bill also went through committee. The Militia Ballots Suspension Bill, and the Military Savings Bank Bill were severally read a second time and ordered to be committed. The committal of the Church Rates Abolition Bill was postponed until to-morrow. Mr. MONSELL reporred from the Wakefield Election Committee, that the committee had resolved that Mr. W. H. Leatham had not been duly elected for the Borough of Wakefield ; that the last election was a void election, and that Mr. W. H. Leatham had by his agents been guilty of bribery, and that corrupt practices had prevailed at the last election, but that it did not appear that it had been with the knowledge or consent of the sitting member. Mr. LEFROY reported from the Dartmouth Election Committee that Mr. Schenley had not been duly elected, that the last election was a void election, and that Mr. Schenley had by his agents been guilty of bribery. The house adjourned at six o'clock. G 0 ODWOOD RACES.-(THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRKER.) COW-DRAY STAKES. Opera Dancer Syringe Skittles Seven ran. GOOD'VOOD STAKES. Starke .... Lifeboat ...
