The India Bill is at last progressing. Three divisions were taken last night,' in each of which the Government had good working majorities. The first point at issue, which referred to the authority of the new Secretary of State, was car ried by 221 to 77, or nearly 3to 1. The insertion of the words " in Council " was proposed, which would restrict his powers and completely destroy the great object of the bill, viz., the creation of a responsible minister with ample powers. The House, however, unhesitatingly rejected the pre position, and sanctioned the clause brought for ward by the Cabinet. The next division was respecting the number of the Council. The veteran Viscount, whose friends pretended that he was at the head of a decided majority, attempted to r es t r i ct the num ber of the Council to 12. O n a division, how ever, he was left in a minority of 62 —. thy House refusing to stultify itself by annulling the . resolution it had previously carried in committee. He was still more unfortunate in his oppositio n to the elective principle, being left in a minority THE SUN, of 93—the Government plan was approved by the great majority of the independent Liberals. The Chairman then reported progress ; the next question at issue is whether the first members of the Council shall be nominated in the bill, a course to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer saw some objections, which he proposed to state when the bill was next before the House. This will probably be on Thursday next, and it is anti cipated that it will have gone through committee on Friday, and may be brought before the Lords early in the ensuing week. This will allow ample time for consideration before the conclusion of the session, and afford no excuse for rejecting the necessary legislation in any fit of petulance, ex cited by a supposed want of consideration for their dignity. The advantages resulting from the proceeding by resolutions, on which the bill was framed, is now clearly perceptible. Had the rival schemes of Lords PALMERSTON and DERBY proceeded pari passe, it is more than probable that neither would have been carried during the present session, and that the existence of the all but universally con demned double Government would have been protracted for another year, and that after it had been branded by the clearly expressed opinion of the House;of Commons, respecting its inefficiency. Nothing more injurious, both to Eng land and to India, or more calculated to prolong the existing disturbances, could possibly occur, and yet it is still hinted at by some of the Palmerstanian journals, who speak of the "im possibility" of its receiving the legi*lative sanction during the present session, and try to excite the ire of the Peers at the alledged slight, so as to in duce them to disregard their duties in a fit of pique. It is, however, " the wish that is father to the thought." There will, as we have already stated, be ample time for calm and deliberate considera tion. The hereditary legislators are not ignorant of what has taken place "elsewhere." The debates have been duly " wafted on the wings of the Press throughout the length and breadth of the land ;" and it would indeed be a gross disrespect to their Lordships to suppose that they were igno rant of what was known to every person of ordi nary intelligence and information in every locality and district. There is a " legal fiction," that neither House can take cognisance of any matter until it has been properly introduced to its notice by some of its members. But that " fiction " will be practically disregarded, for their Lordships have already been enabled to make up their minds on the salient points, and it is but justice to say that they come to their conclusions more promptly than the co-ordinate branch of the Legislature, and are not so likely to be influenced by factious motives. We do not say that party feelings do not exercise some influence, but they will not expose themselves—under any circumstances—to the censure to which some of the chosen representa tives of the people have recently rendered them selves liable. The true Liberals have acted wisely and judici ously. Those who had no personal objects to achieve, who were not " waiters on PROVI DE..vcs," seeking either for themselves •or friends the crumbs of patronage that may fall from the Ministerial table, could not be in. duced to join in the factious movements that t)ok place. The Hon. Member for Dangarvan, who has given so many proofs of thorough inde pendence, who so recently refused to accept a position for which he was thoroughly qualified, lest by any possibility his disinterested views might be misconstrued, explained the true course of the party of which hp is a leading mem ber. "As a fair, impartial, and upright poli tician," he has determined to give the Go vernment fair play, that they might have time to develop their policy. He saw that " they had done great things f)r the cause of progress, things that no other Government ever attempted to do, more than any of their Whig predecessors, who had been in office for the last ten years." He was, therefore, anxious to give fair play to the Government, and to avoid all those miser able squabbles and factious proceedings which brought disgrace upon those who joined in them, even on the name of the proudest statesman in the land. These sentiments reflect the highest honour on Mr. MAQUIRE. What he has done as a popular representative we have likewise acted on as an independent journal of advanced opinions. It is absurd, then, for the Times, or its servile flock of imitators, to speak of Lord PALMERSTON or Lord JOHN RUSSELL as the head of the Liberal party, or to hint at the ini.• prudence of a " weak Government." Lord DERBY has now the support of those who will maintain him in power so long as his conduct merits their approbation, and is in accordance with that which he has exhibited, since, happily for the nation, he assumed the position formerly held by Lord PALMERSTON— gave to Lord MALMESBURY the portfolio of Lord CLARENDON, and enabled Mr. DISRAELI to place the finances of the country in a satisfactory position. Ali honour be to him, then, say we cordially ! The extension of the system of Competitive Examination has been productive, incidentally, of a good result, in every way as gratifying as it was unexpected. It has demonstrated, in a re markable and conclusive manner, the fact that Mechanics' Institutions are NOT, as many have erroneously imagined, failures. It has shown, as was formally stated on Thursday evening, upon the annual conference, held at the Society of Arts, in the Adelphi, that these establishments—Me chanics' Institutions—" are gradually, slowly it may be, but surely, taking a prominent position in the country," and further, that the position already acquired by them is, even now, at once reputable and satisfactory. How it is that these welcome truths have been attained; it is certainly interesting to note ; and a very few words will readily enough afford those who may be yet un informed upon the subject, the requisite explana tion. According to the ulterior decision arrived at by the Council, entrusted with the responsibility of conducting the organisation and development of the newly established system of Competitive Ex amination, it was resolved to adopt the scheme of diffusion as originally propounded. It was de termined, in other words, by this deliberative and authoritative council to hold an examination, where ever an institution, or a group of institutions, would enter into satisfactory arrangements for the accurate and faithful working of the examina visible in the returned papers duly authorised, by the signatures of the required members of the Board of each particular locality. The document in each instance constitutes proof positive that the papers enclosed with it were formally worked in the presence of a certain specified number of the Board—that they were so worked by the candi dates, whose numbers they bore respectively— that in eaoh individual instance they were worked without any extraneous assistance whatever, whe ther derived from each other, front any other person present, from books, from notes, or from memo randa—that three hours constituted tne maxi mum of the time occupied in the working of these papers from first to last—that no individual was permitted to resume or complete his paper after having quitted the examination-room during the lapse of the period allotted for the filling up of that paper—finally, that the paper of questions given to each candidate was in each instance taken from the closed envelope in which it had been forwarded, from the Siciety of Arts to the Local Board, the seal being broken in the presence of that Local Board, and in that of the assembled candidates. Here, assuredly, were sufficient secu rities for the due and honest working of the sys tem of Competitive Examination. And in every instance, saving in one solitary exception, the Local Boards, we are now informed, have through out scrupulously attended to the whole of these rigid, but imperatively requisite, regulations. Consequently—abstracting that one exception— before 57 Local Boards the result may, through the subjoined statistics; be recognised as having been sufficiently satisfactory. Although, be it observed, 1,107 candidates attended the pre liminary examination. Nearly half of this number, namely 501, were pronounced by the local Boards as eligible for the final examination. Of these 501 candidates, 288 were afterwards examined in Whitsun week—when 360 certificates were awarded to 199-89 only proving unsuccessful. Beyond all which it is further stated upon autho rity that the condition of the Institutes is at the present moment far better than at the period when the Union was first established, and more classes have sprung into existence—there is a more re gular attendance upon those classes—and a more marked attention is everywhere paid to the solid branshes of useful knowledge. It must surely be recognised, therefore, after what has been stated, that, beyond the good accruing to the individual candidates, there are the no less obvious advan tages secured to Mechanics' _lnstitutions generally throughout the country—all resulting from the wiser organisation and the wider extension of these beneficent Competitive Examinations, Ed ST NORFOLK ELECTION. CABINET COUSCIL. A Cabinet Council was held at 2 p.m. this day. The Earl of Derby being still confined to the the houv., by indisposition, the council was held at his lordship's private residence, St. James's-square. The Ministers present were : The Right Hon. B. Disraeli, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hard wicke, Mr. Secretary Walpole, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Right Hon. Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, General Peel, the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Lord Staul , -y, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, and Lord John Manners. The Queen and the Prince Consort, with the Prin cesses Alice and Helena, the King of the Belgians, the Duke and Duchess of Brabant, and the Count of Flan ders, vi-iced the Crystal at Sydenham yesterday morning. The roy,l suite consisted of Vie Duchess of Athon, Countess d'Yve de Bayvay, Major-General Bouverie, Colonel F. H• Seymour, Baron D'O verschie de Nerische, Captain Burnell, end tbo Master of the Household. POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.—.Upwards of 30,000 letters a month pass to and from Weymouth and the Channel Islands by means 'of the steamers which have recently commenced running between Plymouth and Jersey. The commercial advices from Calcutta appear not to he unfavourable as far as the demand for English manu factures is cmcerned. The rate of exchange shows no variation. At Hong Koug the quotation of 43. 81d. indicates a slight further turn in favour of this country; while at Shanghai there has been an advance from 6 id. to 6s. 2d., an adverse alteration equal to about 11 per cent. THE MANCHESTER POST•OFFICE.—At a meeting of the General Purposes Committee of the Manchester Town council, held yesterday, it was unanimously resolved to ask the Post-office authorities to suspend any negotia tions as to the site in John Dalton-street, in order that arrangements may be made for placing the new Post office on the Town's-yard site. This resolution was on the motion of Mr. Alderman Heywood, the originator and strong supporter of the proposal that the site should be in Marsdon-square, and which has led to so much discussion. It is understood that the arrangements which it is desired to make involve the obtaining the necessary land and premises for an arcade entrance from Cooper-street, which would be a most convenient access to the building, in addition to the front entrance in Ban croft-street. SMOKE NUISANCE ABATEMENT BILL.—A bill of Mr. Ayrton, M.P. for the To wer Hamlets, attempts to abate the nuisance arising from the smoke of furnaces in the Metropolis, and from steam-vessels plying to and from any places on the 'names westward of the Nore light vessel. No furnaces in the metropolis, or furnaces used in steamers between London Bridge and any place west ward of the Nore must emit any spoke after the passing of the act, under a penalty of 5/., 101., and 201, for the first, second, and third offence. The penalties will not extend to furnaces which have been so constructed or altered as to prevent, as far as possible, all emission of smoke. The bill will not afftct the City Sewers Act of 1851. DUTY PAID ON FOREIGN GRAIN IN HULL.—The fol lowing duty was paid on foreign grain imported into Hull last week :-4001. 18s. on 8 , 018 qrs. of wheat, 3741. Bs. on 7,488 qrs. of barley, 2461. on 4,920 qrs. of oats, 281. lls. on 571 qrs. of beans, 451. Bs. on 908 qrs. of peas, and 17s. lid. on 47 cwt of flour. Total duty paid, 1,0961. 2s. 7id. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Yesterday special general meeting of this company took place at the Euston station, for the purpose of considering a b:11 to authorise arrangements bet seen the Chester and Holyhead Railway and the London and North-Western Railway Company, and to empower the Chester and Holyhead Company to raise a sum of money by pre ference shares—Sir S. M. Peto in the chair. The secre tary read the heads of the bill, which stated that as the Chester and Holy head and the London and North-Western Rail ways formed a complete line of communication be tween Holyhead and London, and the postal service between Dublin and London via Holyhead was carried over the said railways, it was expedient to afford facili ties to the present company which they did not possess under the authority c inferred by the existing acts. It was therefore, proposed that the company should be em pswered to raise 200,0001. by preference shares, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 6 per cent. per annum ; the London and North-Western Company on the one band, a , d the Chester and Holyhead Company on the other, with the consent of three-fifths of the shareholders, baying the power to agree for the conversion of such shares into ordinary stock of the London and North- Western Railway Company, provided that the total nominal amount of that stock should not exceed the total nominal amount of the stock or shares of the Ches ter and Holyhead Railway Company so converted. The bill also provided tbat the expenses of obtaining the act should be paid by the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. A resolution was passed approving of the bill. MR.

Yesterday was consecrated the above church, which is one of the largest which has been created in the diocese of Loudon during the last half century, and has been erected by voluntary contributions. The extreme dimensions are— length, upwards of 190 feet ; and width, 80 feet ; and the whole has been most solid . y built by Messrs. Myers and Sous from the design of Mr. G. G. Scott, the architect. The material chiefly used in the body of the sacred struc ture is Kentish rag-stone, relieved with Bath stone coigns and dressings. In the tower and foundation is Aberdeen granite, of which a subplinth runs round the entire base of the building. There is no clerestory to the nave, but the aisles are unusually lofty. The chancel is 53 feet deep, and terminates with an apse of much grace and beauty. The soffets of the chancel arches are filled with elaborate sculpture and rest upon double columns of Aubigny stone. The sculpturing throughout the edifice is rich, and consists of the foliage of many varieties of English plants. The tower, when complete, will be 230 feet high. The font is a rich and graceful work, having a basin of Caen stone, supported by four angels in white marble, resting on a dwarf column of pink marble, the whole elegantly sculptured by Mr. R. West macott, jun. ; its cost has been 450 guineas, and was pre sented by Mr. A. Burnand. There are at present several windows filled with stained glass, by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, presented by the Rev. T. Jackson, the rector, and several of the parishioners, and an other will shortly be in position, and is to be a me mor i a l t o the late Mr. E. Clifford, a liberal contributor to the building fund. The noble organ, built by Gray and Davison, and which was partially brought into use yesterday, will, when complete, cost 1,2001. The style of architecture is the pure pointed Gothic of the I 13th century, and three years has been occupied in its erection, and the entire cost, when the whole design has been fuliy carried out, will exceed 15,000/. About 2,0001. is required to complete the present arrangements. The roof is of open timber, and the sittings are open benches, giving accommodation fo r u p war d s o f 1,000 a d u l ts and 200 children; one-third are free seats. The Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of London officiated at the ceremony, and arrived at the church shortly before eleven o'clock. At a quark r past eleven the procession to the new church formed in the Old Church Yard, and proceeded, accompanied by the clergy in their robes (two aid two), to the western entrance of the church, where the procession paused for the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, and the clergy who were to take part in the service, During the playing of an anthem on the magnificent organ the Lord Bishop was conducted to the Communion Table, the Rector of the parish presented the petition for Consecration to the Bishop, which was read aloud by the Registrar, after which the procession moved down the nave in the same order as before, followed by the clergy, two and t wo. Th e Bi s h op repeated prescribed Psalm, and the clergy and congrega tion repeated the responses with a loud voice. On their arrival at the end of the nave, the procession turned under the tower arch, and returned in the same order as before, and divided right and left, leaving an avenue for the Bishops, Archdeacon-, Chaplains, &c , to pass the ough to the space within the communion rails. The rector of the parish then presented the deed to the Bishop, and the chancellor read the sentence, which was signed by the Bish,p, and divine service was then performed. The prayers were read as far as the Apostles' Creed by the Rector, and from the Apostles' Creed to the end of the third collect by the Rev, William Bullock, 8.A., curate of the parish. The Psalms were road by the Rev. G. Hills, B.D , Vicar of Great Yarmouth, The First Lesson was read by the Rev. John Sandys, M.A., Incumbent of St. Paul's, Ball's Pond ; the Second Lesson by the Rev. W. J. Hall, M.A., vicar of Tottenham, and priest in ordinary to her Majesty; an anthem was sung after the Third Collect ; and then fol lowed the Litany, said by the Rev. Harry Dupuis, 8.D., vicar of Richmond—the right rev. bishop officiating at the communion table. Mr. G. W. Martin presided at the organ. His Lordship preached an eloquent sermon from Daniel, c. 10, v. 12. After the sermon the offertory sentences were read by the Rev. A. B. Hutchinson, 8.D., of Keybam, Davenport, during which a collection was made, realising 450/. The prayer for the Church militant was read by the Rev. T. P. Wright, M,A,, of St. Philip's, Dalston, and his lordship having prmounced the benediction, dismissing the general congregation, the doors were closed, an d th e commun i on ser vice proceeded, Subsequently a large number of the congregation, about 400 ladies and gentle men , p rocee d e d to the redence of Richard Moreland, Esq., and partook of a dejeuner within a magnificent and commodious pavilion erected by B. Edging ton, of London-bridge, in a large meadow in the rear of the residence. The Right Rev. Bishop presided, and was supported by his lady, Mrs. Tait, the rev, rector and Mrs. Jackson, the Bishop of Pennsylvania, &c. Among those present were most of the clergy who had taken part in the ceremony, as also the Revs. Derwent Coleridge, Ernest Hawkins, A. Brown, T. Hellmore, G. Lockwood, and J. N. Bennie, Mr. W. Cotton, and ladies, as also Lady Mary Hoare and Misses Hoare (two), Mr. T. Jones, undersheriff elect, &c. The Rev. T. JACKSON (rector), in proposing the health of the Right Rev. Prelate and Mrs. Tait, expressed the gratifica tion which this, the first visit of his lordship to the parish, had given, which visit he trusted would not be the last, by many. In coming that day his lordship was, as it wore, crowning the work begin by his learned predecessor, who laid the first stone of the church. His LORDSHIP, in returning thanks, said it was a great plea ' sure to himself and Mrs. Tait, to be so heartily welcomed on this their first visit to the large and rapidly-increasing parish of Stoke Newington. Such gatherings as the present were very refreshing, and he was delighted to see so hearty a spirit rallying round the Church of which they were members. Their wish, no doubt, 'as not only to see that Church beautified, but to see its influence everywhere extended. Some might say they were raising churches before they were required; to this he would say that some yonvg ago Winston war A ph , e whoro thoy made hay and grew beautiful flowers—a pleasant village with few inhabi tants ; it was now swallowed up, in the vast metropolis. It was therefore, wise for them to be building up and preparing for a parish which might ere long become as Islington. He felt it was right for Mr. Jackson to carry their thought back to the memory of the late bishop, who laid the foundation stone, Hs was much gratified at the respec'ful reception he had met with at this his first visit to Stoke Newington, but that was not on account of any merit of his own as much an it was due to the exertion and labours of the clergy of the parish, for where a bishop were so warmly welcomed as he had been that day, it was a convincing proof that the clergy were'energetically, zealously, and usefully furthering the great work of their Divine Master, He, therefore, considered that his thanks were due to the rev, rector of the parish for this cordial welcome, He thanked the large number of the clergy for their attendance, and was exceedingly glad that the zeal of the congregation had been so aroused as to contribute so much as 4501. Enthusiastic cheers marked the conclusi ,n of his lordship's address. Th 3 RECTOR, then, in an eloquent speech, proposed " The health of the Bishop of Pennsylvania." The Bishop of PENNSYLVANIA acknowledged the compliment paid to him, and expressed an opinion, shared, as he said, by the great mass of his fellow -countrymen, that America was anxiously looking towards England as the great regenerator of the social condition of the world. It might be that, now and then, there was some little irritation on the part of the American people, in consequence of the course of events in England, and in consequence of unnecessary taunts which were thrown out, but in speaking of that irritation of feeling it must be recollected that America was still but young (hear, hear)--and on the minds of the young those apparent slights made a de per impression than on those of matures years. The old count 7 co 'id afford to be magnanimous, but he fervently prayed the young would never prove) ungrateful. (Hear, hear.) That the greatest love was felt for this country amongst the great bulk of the community sy..s proved by one simple fact. Where, when time and opportunity presented themselves, did the Americans invari ably go to ? Why, to the old country. (Cheers.) Their first thought was to visit Old England, to visit old scenes and eld recollections, treasured up in their "sunny memories (cheers) ;—and he fervently prays 1 that the bond of union, strong as it was, might increase in strength until the end of time. (Loud cheers.) The Bishop of LONDON proposed "The health of the Rector and Mrs. Jackson," in a very eloquent spec h, dwelling strongly on the great exertions that Mr. Jackson had made, both as an educationist and clergyman, to benefit mankind. The RECTOR returned thanks for himself and Mrs. Jackson in a happy and appropriate manner. He said allusion had been made to his exertions, and a wonder expressed how he preserved his health and strength to go on with his great work. The remark made by the great Daniel O'Connell under similar circumstances applied to him. That great man said he was enabled to undergo great exertions because "he had a warm nest at home," and such a blessing, by God's provi (lanes he (Mr. Jackson) possessed. (Laughter and cheers.) He could not resume his seat without publicly tendering his thanks to all those who had been mainly instrumental, by their contributions, in raising the splendid structure they had that day consecrated. Many had been munificent donors to the building fund, but to Mr. Patrick Johnson his especial thanks were due, for he had singly given his bond as a security for the payment of the building of the tower of the church. (Cheers.) Mr. JOHNSON returned thanks for the gratifying manner in which his health had been proposed and responded to, and pointed to the clean, neatly attired children of the schools, who were then in the grounds, and hoped for increased funds for their support. The children, as above, were regaled, meat and bread was distributed to the poor in the neighbourhool, and the work men of the church were furnished with refreshments in the evening, after attending at church, where a sermon to work ing men (invited to come in their working clothes) had been preached by the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells. IRONHASTERS' MEETING. —At the usual preliminary quarterly meeting of the iron trade of South Stafford shire and East 'Worcestershire, held at Stewponey, near Stourbridge, on Thurs lay last, Mr. Philip Williams in the chair, it was resolved to abide during the next quarter by the prices fixed at the meeting held in De cember last. Staffordshire bars, therefore, stand as they have done during the present year, at 81. per ton, and all other descriptions after the same proportionate rate. The market is, however, far from being steady, and underselling is carried on to a great extent. THE CITY OF LONDON CORPORATIoN ACCOUNTS.

On the 15th of May the column arrived at this spot, and immediately surrounded its posi tion with palisades. On the following day the troops commenced working on the foundations of a new fort. Very little resistance was offered by the inhabitants, who withdrew into the interior of the country. SARDINIA. The Piedmontese Senate, in its sittings of the 22d, passed the bill for the loan of 40 millions of francs by a majority of 41 votes to 12.

The chamber of deputies continued the debate on the budget of expenses for 1859, and voted the portion relating to the department of the interior. SPAIN. MADRID, JUNE 24. The Queen inaugurated this day the canal bring ing the waters of Lozola to the Spanish capital. Yesterday a fire destroyed a small bridge on the Alicaut Railway, about four miles from Madrid. The circulation, momentarily interrupted, was re established this afternoon. The journals of the 21st state that rumours of a ministerial crisis were again current, but that it was believed in well informed quarters that no change will take, place until the autumn. The elec tions for the provincial deputations were taking place, and though they are not of a political charac ter, almost everywhere the candidates favourable to the Government were returned. The Govern ment was about to undertake extensive works fur Ihe improvement of the port of Alicant, which, from the opening of the railway, will become of greater commercial importance than ever. The harvest had commenced in several provinces, mid was very fine ; from the scarcity of labour, land owners had to pay very high wages.

PUTRID FERMENTATION OF THE THAMES. The following letters have been addressed to the Editor of the Times : Sir,—The time has arrived when it is absolutely neces sary to call public attention in the most emphatic manner to the great danger which hangs over the inhabitants of this metropolis from the state of the river Thames, the more especially as there has been a tendency in some of the most able writers of the day to underrate the frightful consequences which may ensue from its present pestilential condition. The great fact has been overlooked by those who have earnestly called attention to the subject, that the river Themes at the present moment is in a state of general putrid fermentation--a state which I can positively assert is a new state, and one which from observation over 30 years it has never exhibited before. While I write the whole river is nearly as opaque and black as iuk, and is much more offensive than the majority of the sewers which enter into it, the animal matter of which has not yet undergone the putrid fermentation. Those who have lived in London have observed year by year a general deterioration of the water—a gradual dimi nution of the higher forais of animal life from a larger portion of the sewage being added to it. Year by year an additional unpleasant odour has been superadded to the usual odour of nearly all rivers in agitation ; but for the whole of the river to enter into the putrid fermentation is a new fact, the consequence of which we have no experi ence in London, nor probably i n any o th er country. It must now be regarded as unsafe for man, woman, or child to venture upon our river, for no medical man can predict who may be affected, and we can only say that the putrid fermentation is liable in the highest degree to corn mubicate its death-producin g influence. Cholera is now absent. Were it epidemic probably hundreds of thoesands would fa:l victims, as the whole river is essentially worse than those sewers along which the population was decimated. This, however, is the most favour Me time of the year for London—a powerful current of air sweeps up th, valley of the Thames, and renders London one of the healthiest of towns. In August, however, and in the first week in September the air is stagnant, and no such breeze refreshes the inhabi tants. In all ages epidemics have then had their sway, and should this state continue who will dare predict the consequences which may ensue ? The putrescence may endanger diseases of a contagious type, such as fever or plague, and how great would be the panic if a few leading men in succession were to fall a prey ! And we must not shut our eyes to the fact that causes now exist worse then at the timo of the Plague; and therefore a destruCtion of life and an injury to trade may arise which will make Londoners bitterly repine their neglect of the warnings of medical men in not diverting the sewage from the great highway of the world. The case is now serious and urgent, and the treatment presents the highest difficulties. No time can be spared for twaddling debates of representative councils. Some one man should be endowed with the powers of a general to geb any assistance or advice - he may require, and carry out such plans vigorously as the nature of the case may require. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, 7, Finsbury-circus, June 25. ALFRED SMEE. Sir,— Without vindicating the character of the Thames at the present time, yet, with reference to the letter of "T. G. in the Times of this morning, it may be interest ing to know that the fish in that river have always suf fered from any unusual heat in the weather. In the Gentleman's Magazine for 1750 it is stated :—" Friday, July 13.—The excessive heat of this and some preceding days so affected the fish in the Thames that they gathered in shoals to the Bankside, and buried themselves in the ooze and mud, and were easily taken in large quantities." Yours obediently, JAMES DAVIS. Hampstead, June 25. STATE OF THE THAMES,—The folloWing letter from the Conservators of the Thames to the Metropolitan Board of Works was read at the meeting of the latter at the Guildhall yesterday :—" Thames Conservancy, June 22.—Sir,—Having laid your letter of the 12th inst. before the Conservators of the River Thames, in which you inform them of the intention of the Metropo litan Board of Works to construct works for extending the outlets of certain main sewers under their jurisdic tion, through covered channels, from high to low water mark, and the Conservators having inspected the plan submitted by Mr. Banlgette, I am directed to inform you that the Conservators see no objection to the works as proposed. With reference to the impediments to the inshore navigation which will be caused by the tempor ary works requisite, it will be necessary that, as the traffic of the river should not be interrupted more than may be absolutely necessary, the prominent points of such works shall be properly indicated by day and night; and the Conservators have to request that plans of coffer dams and piles may be substituted to them for their approval before the same shall be carried into execution. I am further directed to take this opportunity of stating that it is the conviction of the Conservators that it is impossible for them to preserve the water. of the Thames in snytbing like a pure and wholesome state so long as the contents of the sewers of the metropolis are dis charged into it. —E.

A letter from Vienna in the Swabian, Mercury says The definitive examination of the budget of receipts and expenses for 1857 is concluded ; and it is found that the results are not so favourable as was expected. The deficit, it appears, will be 40 millions of florins, in place of 20 millions at first calculated on. The Government is actively engaged in completing a law on colonisation which will be more particularly applicable to Galicia, Hungary, the Bukowina, and other parts of the territory where capital and hands are wanting for agricultural pursuits. The following are the general principles on which this measure will be based :—The State will not colonise directly, and will not even take on itself the direction of colo nisation, but it will exercise a rigorous surveil lance over all the operations by means of special commissioners. It will not give any premiums in money nor execute any works, but will grant an exemption from taxes during a certain time, and the children of the colonists will be exempt from a a part of the military service." SWITZERLAND. The Bund of Berne, in an article entitled " Two weights and two measures," reproaches the Federal Council with having accorded an undue value to the appeal of the Grand Council of Geneva to the Federal Assembly about sending the refugees into the interior of the country, and concludes as fol lows :—" When Uri would not give up the protocols of the Sonderbund, it was threatened with Federal bayonets ; when Ticino ill discharged the duties of Swiss neutrality, battalions were sent to it ; when lately Vaud endeavoured to obey Fe leral decrees Federal Commissioners were sent there who superseded the local au'hori ties ; and yet, in presence of the much more im proper resistance of Geneva, the Federal Council gives up its arms ! This is having two weights and two measures, and it will sreate bad blood." The ordinary session of the Federal Assembly is to open at Berne on the sth July. The two Cham bars will for the first time occlpy the two fine halls p;epared for them in the new Federal palace. FALLEN ! FALLEN ! ! FALLEN ! ! Two defeats, following one another in the course of a single half hour last night, effectually proved the utter weakness and isolation of the ex-Premier. In a house elected, some fourteen months since, especially for the pro;agation of Pal inerstonianism, Lord Palmerston twice over sought for sup porters to adopt his principle for organising the Indian Coun cil in preference to that proposed by the present Government, and twice sustained a mortifying repulse. He could barely obtain a hearing for his speeches on either occasion, and on both was left with a miserable minority in the lobby. Discom fitures thus reiterated sufficiently indicate the conclusion to which the house has arrived. Having lost his grasp of power in ease, the noble member for Tiverton is now forced to re sign even that claim to power in posse which by recognised right belongs to the leader of Opposiftion. The questions whereon these divisons were challenged, comprised thedistinctive features between the India Bill of the late administration--Bill No. I—and the measure now actually before the house. Lord Palmerston had proposed to establish a Council of eight members; Lord Stanley aug mented the number to fifteen, Lord Palmerston intended his Council to be altogether nominative ; Lord Stanley has provided a process of election by which seven of the fifteen members are to be chosen at first and recruited afterwards as vacancies occur. On both these points the house was last night required to de:ide. The author of Bill No. I practically asked the Legislature what they thought of his scheme, and then subjected the representatives present to the ordeal of two divisions, with the view of placing on record their de cision, first on the point whether the Council should consist of twelve or fifteen, and secondly, whether any of its members should be selected by any other process than Crown nomination. Large majorities, as we have &ready mentioned, accepted the bill of her Majesty's present Ministers, and rejected the proposition of the ex-Premier. The quo ,tion has been asked whether, if Lord Palmerston had remained in power, the suggestions he has now so vainly offered for the constitution of the council would not have been more cordially received, or even finally adopted by the house ? This is, perhaps, possible. The in fluence of a reigning minister is no doubt enormous. Sur rounded with all the prestige of high office, having extensive Patronage at disposal, and a clever whipper-in to secure ob sequious majorities, the power wielded some four months since was almost dictatorial. But the crisis through which the noble lord has since passed is of the character which, as Milton said, " tries the souls of men." Lord Palmerston will not stand the trial. Deprived of his factitious importance, the late Prime Minister has subsided into a very insignificant member for Tiverton. His old flatterers and flunkeys have fallen away. The Thanes fly from him. No one remains faithful to the fortunes of the fallen chief, except, perhaps, Mr. Chichester Fortesene. From this Abdiel Lord Palmer ston may still have complimentary phrases, extolling his bill for the construction of a new system of Indian government above all its rivals and successors. With this individual eulogy, the quondam Premier must be content. On principle the House of Commons have repudiated his Indian Govern ment Bill, and in practice have now ignored his title to as sume even the secondary rank of Loader of the Opposition.— ..Venting Chronicle.

His lordship COn' sideied that the testator, by his will, had converted hie realty iLt, personalty, and that the heir-at-law had no t made out a sufficient title to the fund in question. I t was a hard case. Lord Justice Turner said the question was, whether the sum of 10,000/., or any part of that sum, belonged to the real estate of the late William Tucker, and so br; longed to the heir-at-law, or to the personal estate, and belonged to the widow. Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart decided that the whole sum in question be" longed to the widow, and the present appeal is from that dec:sion. His lordship concurred in opinion with Lord Justice Knight Bruce, and their lordships dismissed the appeal with costs. The counsel for the respondent consented not to ask costs on condition that the case would rest here, an d not be appealed to the House of Lords, which the cowl" eel for the appellant agreed to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A HOESE.—SINGTJLAB —Thomas Langdon, the licensed proprietor and driver of cab 1,817, was charged before Mr. Beadon, by Mr' William Love, chief constable of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruellY beating a horse. The defendant sail he would plead guilty. Mr. Beadon, however, said he would hear the case. Mr. Love said the circumstances of the case were veil aggravated, owing to the defendant, instead of having used a whip, made use of a peculiar weapon, which 116 (Mr. Love) was sorry to say was much in use airiong cabmen, and which was calculated, besides doing seriou s misch . et to the horse, to cruelty torture it. From the evidence of Rutherford, one of the society'o officers, it appeared that early on the 9th of June, be saw the defendant in Regent-street driving a horse and cab, the defendant dealing the horse several severe blows right and left on its sides, and keeping up e ll incessant beating. He wont after defendant, and, o n overtaking him, took the weapon from him. (The weaP° l was here produced, and strongly resembled a piece twisted cowhide, about a yard long, and from the fact of its being twisted calculated to inflict severe torturel The horse, which was a very good one, was panting, an bore the appearance of having been much ill-used. The defendant said the horse was a confirmed slug he could not get it along wi'h the aid of the whip, to he borrowed the weapon to try the effect of it. Mr. Beadon indignantly denounced the defendant ' ' conduct as being most cruel and monstrous, and said it was a wonder the horse's ribs were not broken ; and the best punishment for such a man would be to serve hie; in the name way as he had served the horse. He weal° mark his sense of the defendant's conduct by fining bia l 40s. and costs, or 14 days' hard labour. The defendant was locked up in default, It appears that a groat many cabmen carry a weapol l , of the kind with them, and use it when unperceived 0 a night. THAMES. GANGS OF SWINDLERS.—CAUTION TO TRADESMEN,'" A. gentleman, who is the owner of houses in Globe Fields) Mile End, Old Town, applied to Mr. Selfe for his advioe under the following circumstances :—He stated that oil of his new houses in th e a b ove l oca lity h a d b een hired of him by a man apparently respectable, who gave reference to another housekeeper in Stepney, who gas' him a high character. The man to whom he had let the house had since underlet it to other parties at 0 increased rent, and they turned out to be gang of swindlers, who had given extensive orders to tradesmen for goods of every description a promise of immediate payment. The tradesme n soon found out to their cost that they could not obtale either money or goods, and it was proven that articles supplied to the gang had been directly afterwards sold for half the invoice price. Mr. Selfe advised the applicant to consult his solicito r as to the best means of getting rid of his objectionable, tenants, and to give information to the i ns p e ctor 01 - police, at the adjoining station, of the doings of the swindlers, and there was no doubt a goad account of the gang would be soon laid before the public.
