CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY• At the" Discount-office at the Bank of England business was again slack to-day. In Lombard-street good bills were discounted at 2 to 2s per cent., With exceptional transactions at still lower rates. The amount of gold bought by the Bank to-day was £43,000. At Paris to-day the 3 per Cent. Writes opened at 68.40, and closed at 68.35 for money and 68.30 for the account, being 1-16 to f per cent. lower than yesterday. At Vienna yesterday the exchange on London declined to 126,20. The success of the New Portuguese Loan is of a very decided character. The applications up to this evening have amounted to £20,000,000, the entire amount of the loan being only £5,000,000 stock. A large number of the subscribers are of the best possible class. The list will be closed at 12 o'clock to-morrow (Wednesday). It is said that the expected loan for Venezuela may be looked for next week. The directors of the National Bank have this day declared a dividend on the paid-up capital of the company (X 600,000) at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum, and an extraordinary dividend of 16s. per share, being together £2 per share, free of income tax, for the half-year ending 30th June last. The Ottoman Bank have received from Constan tinople on account of the dividend due in Septem ber next on the Turkish 6 per Cent. Loan of 1858 a further remittance of £45,000, making a total sum received of £llO,OOO. The Madras Railway Company have paid into the Bank of England to the credit of the Secretary of State for India in Council the sam of X 75,990 on account of the fifth extension capital of the com pany. The Liverpool cotton market continues dull and heavy, particularly as regards Surat sorts. The transactions to-day were limited to 3,000 bales. In our advertising columns will be found the prospectus of the Thames Express Steamboat Com pany, which has been started under the most encouraging auspices. The capital proposed to be raised is £75,000, in 15,000 £5 shares, with a de posit of 10s. per share on application, and 20s. on allotment. The promoters of the undertaking are all thoroughly business men, and such is the.confi denee with which the scheme is looked upon that a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum, payable half yearly, is guaranted for the first two years, special security for that having been placed in the hands of the directors. The object of the company is to establish express steamboats upon the river be tween Gravesend and Chelsea, the vessels calling at the intermediate piers. The boats of the company will have saloons on deck, handsomely fitted out, with sliding windows, from which either aide of the river can be viewed on the passage. Shelter is thus provided from heat and inclement weather, Whilst the top ,will afford a,spacious and agreeable promenade. Arrangements have been made for the use of the piers, also for steamers to ran from London-bridge and Chelsea (on sufficient capital being subscribed), to take advantage of the traffic to the Exhibition and other places of attraction up the river. The immense increase on the river, and the inability of the present steamers to accommo date the public, prove that an enlarged system of steamboats is much required. The undertaking cannot but prove a lucrative one. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no diminution in the available supplies moneyof in the general market. On the contrary the plethora seems to increase in consequence of the distribution usual at this period of the profits earned by various descriptions of joint stock com panies in the six months ending the 30th June last. The mercantile requirements continue moderate, and an active competition is kept up in discount circles for the bills brought into circulation. Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and rather more than 3.loths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. The half-year's interest on Cape of Good Hope 6 per Cent. Debentures will be paid on and after the 31st inst. There is a decrease of £4,700 in the traffic receipts of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail way for the past week. A meeting has been held to-day of the proprietors of the National Discount Company, when Mr. F. W. Russell, M.P., presided. The report, which 'was unanimously adopted, stated that the gross profits for the half-year ending 30th June last, amounted to £43,959 19s. ld., And that, after pro viding for the current expenditure, directors' and auditors'remuneration, and reserving L 12,641 95.5 d for rebate of interest on bills not yet due, there re mained a disposable balance of £26,626 19s. 10d. C onvinced that the permanent interests of the pro- Prietors will be better consulted by an important increase to the guarantee fund, than by a larger division of profits, the directors recommended out of this surplus that the sum of £11,560 7s. be ap- Arnpriated to the payment of a dividend at the rate " 1 3 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and that the balance of £15,066 128_ 10d. be carried to t he credit of the reserve fund, which, with accrued interest, will then amount to £42,015 ss. 2d. The chairman, in the course of his remarks, stated , Ilat the present favourable position of the corn rliT's affai rs was not dependent upon any acci "Mal or unusual profits, but arose entirely from the ' advance of their credit and their increased ope i.at i "s• The progress of the undertaking was de- Pen dent in a grea t measure upon the confidence of ° shareholders.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) Eleven hundred and eleven deaths were regis tered in London in the week that ended last Satur day. The average number of deaths in weeks cor responding with last week of the ten years 1852-61 (corrected) is 1,201. The present state of the public health is therefore so far good that the number of persons who died last week was less by 90 than the number that would have been recorded if the ave rage rate of mortality for the third week of July had prevailed. The births of last week exceeded the deaths in the same time by 701. There were four deaths from smallpox, two of which occurred in the sub-district of St. John, St George-in-the-East. Typhus, of which 68 fatal cases were recorded, exhibits an increase on any weekly number returned since the middle of June. Nine deaths out of the 68 are reported by the London Fever Hospital. Four deaths by typhus occurred in the Belgrave sub-district, four in that of the Regent's Park. Measles and scarlatina were fatal each in 55 cases. The former disease prevails chiefly in the east districts, where it carried off nine chil dren in Bethnal-green, four in Shadwell. The deaths from diarrhcea were the same in number as those of the previous week—namely, 39. Besides these, two cases are referred in the tables to cholera, which are returned thus :—At 5, Union-court, Whitechapel, a boy, aged four months, "choleraic diarrhoea (20 hours) ;" and at 3, Potier-street, Kent road, a labourer, aged 66 years, " choleraic diarrhoea." Last week the births of 921 boys and 891 girls, in all 1,812 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1,777. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.724 in. The reading was 29.35 in. on the morning of Sun day, the 13th inst. ; and it rose to 29.91 in. on Saturday morning. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.5 deg., which is 2.3 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below the average on every day except Monday. The highest day tempera ture occurred on Monday, and was 74.8 deg. The lowest night temperature occurred on Thurs day, and was 46.9 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air tempera ture was 6.3 deg. On Friday the difference rose to 10.4. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 81, complete saturation being represented by 100. The wind blew generally from the south-west. The rain-fall was 0.54 in., the greater part of which fell on Wednesday. There was a thunder-storm be tween four and six o'clock on the afternoon of that day. The mean of the highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 62.9 deg. ; the mean of the lowest was 60.7 deg. A thermometer in the sun rose to 120 deg. on Friday. VARIETIES. (From Fun.) TELEGRAMS FROM THE PEN OF THE READY REUTER. "General M'Clellan has arrived, according to promise, in Canada—but without his army." The news by the paper-boys shouted, Is news that can scarcely be doubted— That General M'Clellan Has fled like a felon, And the Federal forces are routed. A FRIENDLY WORD TO POLAND. Fair Poland, from your fettered hand Fling far the foul assassin -knife, Let murder ne'er by you be planned, E'en 'gainst a tyrant's hated life I For the vile tyrant's blood a gain From that of two much honour draws, If you permit it e'er to stain The white robes of a noble cause. TO TOURISTS. If weary miles you've walked a score, And find your limbs are stiff with pain, Go on, friend, till your feet are sore, And that will make you limp again. WHAT WE MAY EXPECT TO HEAR IN 1872• Ten years since the by-word ran, "You, or any other man I" Time's now changed that by-word to " Any other man, or you !" ADVICE TO MUSICAL BEGINNERS.— Having Collard your pianoforte, of course you will be pleased with your bargain. You must now place yourself on the qui vivo and the music stool, and make up your mind for a little sharp practice. You must not show any airs to your music-mas ter, or you will be put down as a flat ; which will not tend to treble your reputation as a musician; but you must go octavely to work, and atone for the past, if you have in any way played a base part.

Sold, gentle reader ! " One of those Things that no Fellow can Understand." —The female heart. The General who must eventually take the lead in Fede ral Affairs —General Repudiation. A RIDDLE THAT MIGHT BE CUE -TAILED WITH ADVAN TAGE,—What is the difference between the time of the May meetings and the period between the 3d of Slily and tho 11th of August ?—Because one is the dog days and the other the dogmatic's days. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. —The wife of a publican, who won a great deal of money at the Derby, is about starting a Brougham on the strength of her husband's luck. We should say that a Barouche would have been better suited to the lady. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. The tiree "distin guished foreigners" who arrived from Russia last Monday evening, at Fenton's Hot6l, are hived there still. When does a pig look thoughtfully at a pickling tub ? When he thinks he'll have a hand in the pickle. A REGULAR FIX —We know a gentleman who has two brothers•in-law, one of whom is such a tattler, an d the other such a story-teller, that he declares he cannot speak before the first or after the second. Ladies' Own Materials Made Up—lnquire of Madame Rachel. "THE HEADS—AND FRONT OF HIS OFFENDING."—A. "private gentleman" advertises in Lloyd's Newspaper " to persons in want of money in town or country" (a rather large class), that he is willing to make advances without delay to respectable parties, male or female, on their own security, and that the utmost secrecy may be relied on. This promises well enough, but the private gentleman dates from the office of a public accountant, and adds that if you apply by post, you must "enclose four stamps i" This stamps the affair I LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

LAW-THIS DAY. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) POTTS V POTTS AND LORD DA.TEMAN. This was a suit instituted by the petitioner for a dissolu tion of marriage with the respondent by reason of her adultery with the co-respondent, Lord Bateman. The re spondent did not put in any appearance. The co-respon dent, however, appeared and pleaded a number of pleas tra versing the adultery, and connivance and condonation of the adultery, and with respect to . damages pleaded the Statute of Limitation. On the jury being sworn and no counsel appearing for the petitioner, the learned Judge directed that the at torney for the petitioner, Mr. Goatly, should be called, which was done by the officer, but no answer was received. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., on the part of the co-respondent, said he was prepared to go on with the case in support of the defence raised by the issues on the part of Lord Bate man, but as no one appeared for the petitioner, he was en titled to a verdict for the co-respondent. The learned Judge having gone through the pies ding, said there was some difficulty on the plea of adultery; but it was ascertained that the petitioner had alleged the adul tery to have taken place in the years 1851 and 1853, and the present suit was not instituted till December, 1861, which established the Statute of Limitation. His Lordship then informed the jury that the affirmative of the issue of adultery lay upon the petitioner, and as he did not app .ar, there was no evidence, and the co-respon dent was entitled to a verdict. The Jury then returned a verdict that the co-respondeni had not been guilty of adultery with the respondent. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT ON SATURDAYS-IN RE DRAYSON. This bankrupt was described as a draper, of Queen-street, Gravesend, and this was a meeting for last examination. Mr. Sargood said that an adjournment must take place, as the accounts were not filed in time. Mr. Munns, for the bankrupt, said that the accounts were filed on the right day, but not till twenty minutes past two. and, as closed by order at two o'clock on Saturdays, the messenger had marked it as filed on the following Monday. Mr. Sargood then said he would waive the objection, and go on with the case. Mr. Munns said if the accounts had not been filed in time it might affect the validity of the order of discharge. A short adjournment was therefore taken. THE NEW ORDER OF THE Lon]) CHANCELLOR-1N HE PHILO. This bankrupt was described as of London-street, Nor. wich, draper, and to-day was appointed for his last exanai- nation. Mr. Brough appeared for the assignees, and did not op pose the bankinpt, but the question of disoharge was ad journed, in consequence of an order from the Lord Chan cellor directing that no order of discharge should be heard until November. The order is, prokably, that the case should be decided by the Commissiontir to whom it had been ballotted. This appears rather hard on bankrupts. Under the old practice the Commissioners heard applica tions for certificate, and it was only in,seecial cases that they were adjourned for the return of the tommissioner after the vacation. 1N RE AUGUSTUS HOPE. This was a meeting fcr last examination and discharge. The bankrupt was described as of Islington, out of business The only debt is £5BO, the costs in a suit in Chancery., The case was peculiar. The bankrupt had been bankrupt. in 1861, and obtained his certificate under the Act in Nov. in that year, but a few days after he had obtained his certi ficate a decree was made rendering him liable for the costs. In the original balance-sheet he had inserted a liability in respect of this suit and costs, but without stating the amount, which was nut then ascertained. It was afterwards discovered that the certificate would not operate as a dis charge from the liability, and hence the necessity of a second application to the Court. Mr. Aldridge appeared for the assignees. There was no opposition, and the order was granted.

HEARTLESS ROBBERY.—THE LOVE OF DRESS.—Ann Sharp, apparently about 18 years of age, and wearing a fashionable hat and feathers, stylish cloak, &c., was charged with the following robbery -. From the evidence of Jane Burnham, a young woman, it appeared that she left her situation on Saturday last, and occupied the same room with the prisoner, at 7, George street, Grosvenor-square. The prisoner got up some time before the prosecutrix and took the whole of her wages she had just received—S2 18s.—and absconded. The proseca trim then went to the prisoner's father, when she learnt that a warrant was then out against the prisoner for robbing her father of £4 10s. Information was given to the police, and Kent, 191 C, succeeded in discovering and apprehending the prisoner, who had spent all the money but 6s, 31d., having purchased herself a new hat and feather, crinoline, stylish boots, &c. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT H OUSE OF COMMONS—T his D AY . The SPEAKER. took the chair at 10 minutes past 12 ( o'clock. STATUTE LABOUR ROADS AND BRIDGES (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. TRAMWAYS BILL. : On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. AYRTON explained its principal provisions, but said that he did not propose to proceed with it • but he trusted that the G overnment would i ntroduce a ' measure next session. similar JUDGMENT, &c., LAW AIIIENDNIENT BILL. Mr. HADFIELD presented some petitions in favour of this bill, and moved the seco n d rea di ng. He said isvL satisfied that the amendment of the measure would he found throughout the length and breadth of the land a great improvement. His object was to cheapen and fhcili tate the transfer of land, and he cited several instances of the anomalous state of the existing law. He could not hope to pass his bill this session, but he trusted that the representatives of the people in this house and the mem bers of the House of Lords would lend their assist ance towards passing a measure that would effect his object by giving the honest purchaser, who paid his money and received his conveyance, indemnity for his purchase. If he could pass the first clause he would consent to abandon the 2d and 3d clauses, and leave the bill in the hands of the law officers of the Crown. Mr. HUMBERSTON, who presented a petition frem Chester in favour of the bill, supported the second reading. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the bill, and said that, if necessary, he would move its rejection. The bill was opposed to legislation for the last 20 years, and pro ceeded on the principle of relieving two parties at the ex- ' pease of a third. He contended that the Lill would operate most unjustly in regard to the landowner, who, however large his property, would by its provisions be unable to raise money on his estate excepting mortgage or the dis posal of a portion of it. He did not think the country or Par liament had time to consider a measure of this importance. The bill proposed to act retrospectivly and place persons who had obtained years ago certain advantages on the same footing as judgment creditors after the passing of the bill. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time this day three months. Mr. HADFIELD said he would not trouble the house to divide on his bill; but considered that no case had been made out against its provisions. The order for the second reading of the bill was dis charged. NIGHT PO ACHING PREVENTION BILL (LORDS.) On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Sir G. GREY, who presented petitions against the mea sure, said that after the decision to which the house came on the second reading of the bill, it was not his intention to oppose its going into committee, althou-,h he considered his objections on the previous de bate had not been answered. The hon. baronet who had charge of the bill had placed on the paper of the house amendments to the extent of 4 columns, which he admitted improved the bill, because amongst other alterations it struck out the clause giving a policeman the power of arresting a person suspected of poaching on the highway. He repeated what he had formerly urged, and contended that the effect of the bill would be to extend the system of gang poaching throughout the country, and as a necessary consequence to increase the number of the rural police. He still retained the strongest objection to employing the county constabulary in the preservation of game. He repeated also his convic tion that the extent to which poaching went was the re sult of the excessive preservation of game. In support o that statement he mentioned the fact that no less than between 7,000 and 8,000 game had been destroyed in one season by a party of gentlemen on a visit of a friend to the country, and having such a quantity of game. Mr, FORSTEE, said that the house should not be called on to decide on this bill at such a period of the session, considering the amendments rendered it an entirely new measure, and trusted that it would not be passed. Sir J. PAXTON, from experience derived from the management of extensive preserves, was satisfied that the effect of the bill would be to increase poaching and render the county constabulary very unpopular throughout the country. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time this day three months. Lord HENLEY seconded the amendment. Lord STANLEY followed on the same side, and argued that before passing a bill the subject should receive a more extensive Parliamentary inquiry than had yet taken place in reference to it. After some further discussion, in the course of which Sir B. Leighton, who had charge of the bill, said he felt bound to press the measure, th house divided-- For going into committee 139 Against Majority —9o vices which Captain Grant has rendered to the public by the economy and improvement which he has introduced into the system of field and permanent cooking in the army, and by his invention of the ambulatory cooking apparatus, are entitled to recognition. He referred to the documents before the house, upon which, he said, he should rely, as making out his case, that his system had been most suc cessful, and that Captain Grant was entitled to some reward. In the army he was looked upon as a great benefactor to the service. Sir G, LEWIS said, substantially, the motion was for the grant of a sum of money to Captain Grant ; but the standing orders of the house required that every such ap plication should be recommended by the Crown, and con sidered in a committee of the whole house. He objected to the motion, therefore, on that ground. But as to the merits of the claim, the War Department did not think that there was any reason for going beyond the reimbursement of Captain Grant his expenses. The motion was supported by Colonel North, Colonel Dunne, Mr. Monsell, and General Buckley. Sir G. LEWIS added that the field apparatus was under the consideration of a committee. Upon a division the motion was negatived by the nar rowest majority -52 to 21. ENGINE DRIVERS. Mr. COBI3ETT called attention to the petition of engine drivers Rnd firemen working on several lines of railway in the 'United Kingdom, complaining of the excessive num ber of hour s d uring which they work continuously ; also to the petitions from inhabitants of certain cities, and other towns, upon the same subject; and moved that a committee be appointed to inquire into the matter of the petitions. number Mr. be r M. of t G h l i sBcSI class O s N s s wh ai d he owor ed believedlong hours,there butv-a s a a s r mall ia mentary inquiry, or legislation upon the subject, would be setting up a new principle of regulating the labour of adults, who were able to take care of themselves. Mr. COBBETT withdrew the motion. THE POST-OFFICE. Sir G. BOWYER called attention to the grievances al leged to exist and complained of by the persons employed in the Post-office Department, and pledged himself to move for an inquiry into the subject next session. As a matter of form he moved for a select committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that there would always be discontent in public depart ments when those employed therein found that persons in Parliament took a partisan view of their case, and encou raged their applications for better wages, and their com plaints of being underpaid and overworked, and he hoped that members would consider the responsibility they would incur thereby. He replied briefly to the detailed state- ments of Sir G. Bowyer, expressing a hope that the house would not take the matter out of the hands of the Execu tive Govei mnent, who could get an abundance of competent persons to perform the duties properly at less wages than were received by those now in the service. After some observations by Mr. Cox and Sir S. NORTH COTE, Prisoner, in a flippant tone, said in answer to the charge, " Oh, yes ; I did it on purpose to get locked up." Mr. Knox said he should remand the prisoner for the attendance or nor lather, and gave the prosecutrix—to whom the loss was no doubt very great—a sovereign from the poor-hex. DANGEROUS DRIVING BY A RAILWAY CARMAN.—Adam Payne. driver of a Great Western Railway van, was charged with being drunk and incapable of driving a van and pair of horses, and damaging a horse and cart, the property of Mr. Alfred Adams, upholsterer, of Goswell-road, to the amount of £l2, and also smashing a window, to the value of £4, the property of Mr. John Parker, Ring-street, Soho. It appeared that, on the previous evening, the carman of Mr. Adams was delivering goods in King-street—having left a person in charge of his horse and cart—when defen dant drove his horses and van against the cart, knocking Mr. Adams' horse through a parlour window, which was smashed to pieces, the horse frightfully cut about the head, the harness broken, and the axle-tree of the cart also bro ken. The defendant had been called to by the person in 1 . 4 charge of the cart, but had paid no attention ; and, on being taken into custody, was found to be intoxicated, and all that could be got out of him was, that he worked for "Mr. San ders, of the Paddington station." Mr. Knox said that he could only deal with damage to the amount of £lO. Mr. Adams said he was not sure that £l2 was the extent. Mr. Knox said he would adjourn the case for a week, when Mr. Adams could ascertain the amount of damaged property, and the defendant also. He would take one bail in £5 for the defendant. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK LANE. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very small, and the demand, both for red and white qualities, ruled steady, at Monday's currency. The show of samples of Foreign wheat was large. In most descriptions a fair retail business was transacted, and prices were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at extreme rates. The trade for barley was firm, more especially for good and fine qualities. In malt, a fair average business was transacted, at full prices. Oats—the supply of which was very moderate—were in good demand and the quotations had an upward tendency. Beans and peas were scarce and fully as dear as on Monday. The flour trade was steady, and both English and Foreign qualities changed hands at quite previous rates. ARRIVALS THIS *VEIL Wheat Barley.

THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDEItLEY moved the second read ing of this bill. The object of the measure, it was well known to most of their lordships, was for the purpose of embanking the river Thames from Westminster to Blackfriare, and thus relieve Whitehall and the Strand from tha . : - , enormous traffic with which those great thoroughfares were now en cumbored. The bill had passed the other House of Par liament, where it had been most thoroughly discussed, and he hoped their lordships would give their assent to the bill, which would have the effect of greatly adding to the beauty and convenience of the metropolis. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said he did not rise for the purpose of opposing the second reading of this bill—(hear, hear)—but to protest against the very unfair manner in which his name had been used both in and out of Parlia ment. He never intended in any way to obstruct the em bankment of the river, as he looked upon it as a matter of the highest importance. Lords Derby, Granville, Malmesbury, Redesdale, and Llanover having made some remarks, The bill was read a second time. The Jamaica Loan Bill was read a second time. The house then adjourned.

Sir G. BOWYER w4hdrew his motion. BOARDS OF GUARDIANS. Mr. VILLIERS moved for leave to bring in a bill to enable the Boards of Guardians in certain counties in Eng land to meet any extraordinary demands for relief. lie did not mean to imply by this motion that the law was not ade quate to meet the case, or that any further powers were necessary to enforce the law; but the measure he proposed was only a precautionary one during the recess, and he pro ceeded to state facts that appeared to him to justify it. He showed from returns the amount of distress that existed in the principal towns in Lancashire in consequence of the want of employment and the expenditure for the relief of the poor, remarking that the number of persons dependent upon the rates was no criterion of the number destitute of employment. Thedeposits in the savings-banks were now, however, nearly exhausted ; the distress was increas ing rapidly and extendi , g, and there was no pro spect of its diminution but by the revival of trade. Looking to' these circumstances, and to the principle of the existing law, which sanctioned rate in aid, he proposed by the bill to give vitality to that principle, so that any parish or parishes, overburdened by Extraor dinary local distress and pauperism, might claim a contri bution from the common fund of the Union, or, under certain circumstances, one Union might call for a contri bution from the other Unions in the county. He explained the principal enactments of the bill, which he propcsed to continue for a limited term, till the Ist of March. Colonel PAT.TEN said he was so convinced of the exigency of the case and of the necessity of something being done before Parliament separated that he was pre pared to consider with the greatest favour any proposition of the Government for relieving the suffering districts, and would readily sacrifice many opinions of his own as to the remedies. He hoped the Government would not consider that another alternative, she borrowing money on tho sr - curity of the rates, would interfere with their measure. Mr. BOUVERIE squid not conceal from the house that the change proposed by the bill was a mcst portentous one, and ho did not think Mr. 'Villiers had laid any ground for this departure from the recognized law. He believed that the rate in the pound for relief of the poor in the districts where the preesn•e was ;greatest was not nearly so high as in many of those in the south of England. He oonsidered that the proposal for extending the charge to the county w; - .s likely to invite profusion and extravagance. The best mode of meeting the emergency, in his opinion, was to staid by the ancient law. A few remarks were made by Mr. HUMERI' end Mr. A. EG ERTON. Mr. GILPIN observed that, looking to the actual and Inereaaing distress in Lancashire, Governmentxquld hava failed in their duty if they had not made preparation: to meet the emergency. LYGON made some observations, and Lord PALMERSTON explained the scope of the measure, remarking that the Government would have been culpable if they had allowed Parliament to separate without providing some means of meeting aggravated distress in the districts. Leave was then liven to bring in the bill. The orders of the day were then proceeded with, several bills being forwarded a stage, and the, house adjourned at five minutes to 11 o'clock.
