even in the house itself. (Hear.) Ile wished not, how ever, to confirm the question to them selves, though he was glad that it had come home to them, as but for that the public nt !area) would perhaps never have been relieved, as he now hoped they would be as SpeeCtly /19 possible, from a nuisance which had poisoned the air of the metro polia, and which, if continued a few weeks, perhaps even a few days, longer, might, with the present high temperature, produce a pestilence, He would now briefly refer to two or three cases which he had found in the public papers of the previous day. In the first place he learnt that Mr. Gurney, who had charge of the ven tilation of the houses, had addressed to the Speaker a letter, in which he said, "That he can be no longer re sponsible for the health of the house ; that the stench has made most rapid advance within two days ; that up to Thursday be got fresh air draughts from the Star Chamber Court ; but that when night came the poisonous enemy took possession of the court, and so beat them outright." In the Queen's Bench report, ho found the following :—" Lord Campbell said, if he were assured that the state of the atmosphere was such as to be dan gerous to the lives of those attending court he would ad journ that court. Was there a medical man present ? Mr. J. Bredell Was sworn that he was compelled to leave the court three times in consequence of the bad smells ; he gave it as his opinion that it was dangerous to health and to those attending. It would produce malaria and typhus. His lordship said, in discharge of his duty he would adjourn the court. The jury said the smell was very offensive in the passages, but not so bad in court." In the Court of Exchequer, the Lord Chief Baron, ad dressing the jury, said—"l will be as brief as possible in my remarks, for this reason, that the river at low tide has become so offensive, as many of you doubtless know, that it becomes all who can to get away from its banks as soon as possible. A juror—l went borne very ill from it the first day of this trial, my lord. The Lord Chief Baron—l am sorry to hear it, but many have like wise suffered. The stench from the river is most offen sive, and I think it right to take public notice of this, that in trying this case we are really sitting in the midst of a stinking nuisance." Again, there was an account of a woman who attempted to commit suicide, and who was nearly killed by the offensive rature of the water which entered her stomach. A waterman having died near the Tower, a jury which vat upon the body declared that he died from the effects of the effluvia of the Thames. An engineer was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital in consequence of at ack arising from the same cause, The bad smell extended all the way from Chelsea to Greenwich. He bad himself taken several trips in steam ers for the purpose of testing the effect produced, and in many parts of the river he bad great difficulty in stand , ing on deck. The following was from a report issued last week by the medical officer of the Dreadnought :—" The water of the Thames stinks most abominably. I cannot but think that the foul air bas a deleterious effect gene. rally on the health of the patients of this hospital, and I kr o a that it has had something to do with the inducting of fever in two cases on the orlop deck, the portals of which are only a few feet abovathe surface of the water. • Several men on board, myself among the number, have suffered slightly from diarrheas." He had heard that • along the banks of the river, and more particularly on the Lambeth side, many workmenemployed there were suffering from diarrheee, and that some of them had been obliged to leave their work in consequence. They were all aware that in cases of offensive effluvia it was not im mediately that cholera, or fever, or other feaiful calami ties visited society, but that it was after a certain time when the frame got enfeebled and the blood was impove rished, that such e4ls appeared, and be feared that if this nuisance went on unchecked the metropolis would suffer as it had not done since the time of the plague. (Hear.) He had no wish to exaggerate ; all he desired was to bring home to her Majesty's ministers, who were the guardians of the public health, a question which affected not only the lightermen and workmen generally in the vicinity of the Thames, but even the Sovereign in her palace. They had expended thousands of pounds on the pieoe of water extending from the Horse Guards to Buckingham Palace, but of what advantage would that expenditure be if the air along the banks were suffered to be pestilenthall As regarded the remedy for this nuisance, they were at present subject to the evils of a double government, worse even than that of India. This double government had, in fact, brought every thing to a dead lock. On the one side they had the Metropolitan Board of Works with its engineers and staff ; on the other aide they had the Chief Commis sioner of Works with his engineers and advisers. Two propositions bad already been submitted by the Metropolitan Boardof Works to the Chief Commissioner of Works and rejected; a third proposition had been submitted by the latter to the former, and the consi deration of it was, they were told, put off till next Octo leer. They bad now arrived at a point at which some thing must be done, and in his opinion the only way of dealing with the matter satisfactorily to the public was to place the responsibility where it ought to be, on the shoulders of the Government, more particularly of the minister who bad the special charge of that department. Let that minister move a resolution far the appointment of a commission—a paid commission, if the house pleased —to carry out so much of the drainage of the metro polis as related to the main sewerage and the banks of the Thames, and let them have full power to do every thing that was requisite to preserve the health of the people. He wished to add a few words with regard to the V ctoria sewer, for the state of which blame ap peared to him to attach either to the present or the late Commissioner of Works. The construction of the Vic toria sewer was begun in 1849 or 1850. The original cast was about 12,000/. ; but the concrete and btiek work were so bad that they soon had to be renewed eta cost ef 16,000/. In the year 1355 the expenditure on that sewer was 60,0001, and since that time it hal pro bably c05t.60,0001. more. For some time the outlet at Percy's... Wharf was blocked up. After the filch had been accumulating for months, the sewer was opened, and he was to'd that it was Vie accumulated filth which was thus eenth forth that more immediately affected the house of parliament, and poisoned the atmosphere in their vicinity. Having thus shadowed forth the re medy which he propose ! fur this evil, he would con elude by putting to the noble lord the Chef Com- Missioner of the B eerd of Works the following finer_ . tions :—" Whether it was true that the Victoria street sewer bad bad no proper outlet for many months past, owing to its defective construction and partial falling in ? Whether it be true that an outlet for all the accumu'ated contents of the Vic oria-street sewer bad quite recently been made in close proximity of Weeta minster-bridge and the houses of parliament? How large an area of London is drained into the Thames ? .How much mcney has the Victoria-street sewer cost from its construction to the present day ? Mr. TITE wished to state a few facts in reference to this important question. Having bestowed a great deal of attention on the subject, he found that the London sewage which was now being daily poured into the Thames amounted to 90,000,000 gallons, while the quantity of pure water that came daily through Ted• ding on lock was only 4 00,000,000 gal ens. Mr. Gurney stated that the sewage which was poured into the Thames flowed down to the sea, but that instead of its in'xing with the sea the greater part of it returned up the ricer. Teat helve' the ea e, the remedying of the evil was urdoub'ed yan x'retne y difficuit matter. (Hear.) Time other day he a:tem:net:led the Chief Coin misaioner ef Works down tie river, their.object being to ace er aio for themselves its genes condition. T, ey found that by far the most effensive part of the rider was over the mouth of the London Docks. Th-:t was an evil who's was certainly not irrereediabto. The dock companies generally had the p )wer of ohteining a good supply of pure water ; but they ato wed x :eeeingly in:- - pure water to accemul ete and flaw into the Tearnes, and all that was requisite was that they should adopt :pea -tires for having pure water pa-sed from time to time into the it docks. The evil under which the house -was now suffering wean he apprehended, owing in a gicat degree to the extraordinary state of the atatio - sphere, which hail exhausted the upper streams, and if so there could be no immediate remedy ; they must en - dnre it for the present. If it were true that the sewage was returned from the Fea it would be of little use to -embank the Thames. In 1845 a bill was brought in for -the embanking of the Thames from that house to Bieck- •friars-bridge at an estimated expense of 300,0001., but it .was opposed by all who carried on business along the shore; and the buying up of all the trades on the banks -oldie Thames was out of the question. Iu the year 1854 two engineers were appointed to consider this estueetioe, Mr. Bezalgette and Mr. fleywoed. They !proposed intercepting sewers on bath sides of the Thames, ta_be c 'retied on one side to Beiking-creek, and on the Kent side about the same distanea 'clown. He believed this plan to be perfectly practicable and ade quate, if to it was added the obtaining some land for the porpoee of deodorising tbo sewage at those points. The -expellee was very considerable, but he Lad been' assured hy•Mr. -Bidder that day tbat for 40,0001. a-year the whole-sewage of this metropolis might be deodorised end retuned into the river, as was done at Leicester, in .so.pure a state that it would not be iajurious to fish. This seheme bad been rejected because it was said that if the sewage was turned into the river at those points it would be carried back to London ; but if to the plan there was appended a scheme for deodorisation, that ob jection would be got rid of. This scheme of sewerage might be carried out for 2,500,0001. He could not suggest to the house that the sewage matter would pro duce one obi ling, for he thought it would be found use less as manure, as it had been at Leicester. Now, what was the impracticable project ? It was proposed to take these intercepting sewers twenty miles further down, and pour their contents out in Sea Poach. Now, if it were poured into the sea there, a very large pro• portion of it would be returned, owing to its inclination to A rat on the surface of the sea. He bad been assured that very day that this plan would cost 10,000,000/. of money. He thought it was perfectly easy for the Fiat C nmnissioner to iaduce the dock companies to look iota the matter so far as they were concerned—indeed,. they were indictable for a nuisance ; but be believed, from the high character of the gentlemen connected with those companies, that they w ou ld rea dil y t a k e put an end to the nui s a n c e th e y occas i one d . The casee t otecholera which had been referred to occurred exactly at the Spot—the eas t ern entrance to the London Docks—eshre offence from foul matter was some thing incon ce i vab' He bet tere d v , ry muc h of could 3e do this ;il was to i the e Y e g a t i ri' m y coul t d ed to this?. Government tan Board of Works to call on the Metropr.li- Tt li i r s oc w eed in the directioo he had pointed out, y c ell not at vent a larger scheme. If the e a r n d oparen to Barking, arid found it did not answer, th ethee could go further, and the first expense would not be e l y n th i e le least thrown away. His only object in addressing that, having paid some attention to the subjeet, ; I n c , W W 4 , 8 8 desirous to direct the public mind in the light direclon at this very important moment. He believed they b a d neither time tor means to 'set about etntanking the river, bet if they set about carrying out the lea n of in tercepting sewers, to which he had referred, he believed it would lead to a good result. (dear, hoar.) He wished to refer to another point. Mr, Gurney had mode a vain.. rut SUN, LONDON, SATTUR_DAX able suggestion—t.) this effect ; that if the shores of the river, which were dry at low water, were arranged so as to prevent an even surface of gravel a' an inclination of one in 12, that mud would not deposit on a slope so arranged. To that he added dredging two trenches in the middle of the Thames, on which there might be dif ferent opinions. He would urge the Government to call on the Metropolitan Board of Works to take up this question. They were now justified in thinking upon the opinion of two most eminent men that the extensive scheme of sewerage was impracticable, and if ttat were so they ought at once to return to the schetne which was practicable. With regard to the present mischief, it was due to atmospheric causes which they could not control. It was a great blessing that there was not now any epidemic, and he prayed God in His mercy would not vimit us with one, As to the house, there wal one thing hoc, members might do, and that was by shorten. ing their speeches, so as to bring their labours soontr to a close. Sir J. PAXTON said the hon. member bad 'very much anticipated what ho had wished to skate to the house. He was not prepared to recommend to the house any particular scheme for the purpose of curing this great nuisance. All the schemes for the purification of the Thames had nearly one common plan, as far as Barking-creek ; and the question was as to taking the sewers beyond that point. If they referred to the plan cf Mr. Bazalgette, to that recommended by the Board of Works, or if they went back as far as that recommended by Mr. F. Forster, who originated this scheme of drain age, they would find tbat they came to almost one com mon terminus below London. What we wanted was that they should immediately set about carrying the sewage to that point, and whether it should be afterwards car ried further was a matter that might be discussed in the meantime. There was one plan which he telieved had never had proper attention paid to it—that suggested by Mr. MJ,ean in Ha Mr. M`Lean was an eminent engineer, and was the first person who suggested inter mediate intercepting sewers ; and he, after making out his soberly, got Sir M. Peto and other eminent contrac tors to offer to carry the sewage down to Sea Reach. It could be done, according to Mr. Pete's estimate, for 1,600,0001., and Mr. Balder, Mr. Hawkshaw, and Mr. BezAeette reported that the previous part of the sewer could be constructed for 2,300,0001. ; so that the sewage could be taken to the German Ocean for 5,000,0001. or 6,000,0001. He thought they ought at once to embark in the work of constructing the intercepting sewer down to Barking. He d.d not see the use of the commission which was in existence, but he thought that the G ivern ment might look into the matter, and that it could be safely trusted in their hands. Mr. ROUPELL said he intended to proceed with the motion of which he had given notice on going into com ruitt,:e of supply, as he was averse to discussions with out practical results, as discussions on the adjournment of the house generally were. As to the Victoria sewer, Ix, understood that the original contract was under 12,0001., that the expense exceeded 73,0001., and that there were claims which would swell the amount to nearly 200,000/. It appeared that in this enlightened age we must have everything of great magnitude —great ships, a great Crystal Palace, and great sewers. No doubt the evil of the V.ctoria sewer arose from its situa tion, and with the two enormous sewers proposed they would be subject to the swampy c nditi 'n of the soil, and the filtration of the water into them the same as the Victoria sewer. They should cone ider these things before they embarked in any colossal scheme. He would only add a remark ae to the effects on the health of those living on the borders of the river. The teeming thousands on the borders of the river were in a state of chronic cholera, and if we had a warm rain or the con• tinuance of warm weather, we might fully expect some visitation of Providence, without which he feared the evil never would be arrrested. Mr. KENDALL, as chairman of the Thames Com mittee, wished to say a few words. He wanted to im press upon the house that if the report of the committee had been ready long since, nothing could be done as the law now stood. There were the Board of Works, the Firot Commissioner, and the Conservancy to deal with. He thought that nothing would be done unless the Go vernment took it into their own hands. If they ap pointed three men competent, and above suspicion, the work would be done. It would be useless for the com mittee to propose anything unless the Government took means to carry it into effect. This was shown by the fate of the plan proposed by the Meq•opulitan Board of Works, and submitted to the First Commissioner. It was quite clear from the evidence which had been laid before the committee that no hon. member had exag gerated the evil. Mr. MANGLES thought that after all it was a money question ; it was a question whether the expenses should be wholly thrown on the metropolis or should be in part borne by the Imperial Government. He thought it very foolish to hand over such a work as this to such a body as the Board of Works without means and ap pliances. He thought it was not the business of the metropolis alone to execute this great work. (Hear.) It was not only the people of London who were con es ;add, but the sovereign and the legislature, and the law courts of the kingdom which were located in the neighbou hood. It was a shufle to try to put the whole expense upon the parishes of L radon. It was said that it would take a long time, but they would never finish it if they did not begin it. Let the Government take the matter up this session, and he was sure that under the influence of the nuisance the house would rapidly pass any necessary biil, and if they succeeded they would perform a work which would exceed that per formed by Hercule?. Lord J. MANNERS wished to observe firs', that he had ass col nection with the management of the Victoria sewer, or any c sswer, and Our f oset he bail been obliged to apply to the Chairman of the Metropolitan B card of Works f.e• information on the subject. He had received the following answer :—" Sir,—Adverting to the con'ents of your letter of the 24th iust., I am directed by the Cuairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works to appriie you, for the information of the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, that the answers to the questions referred to in that communication are as follew :-1 The out'et of the Victoria street sewer has for some years past been fr.: quently, and now is, uneer repair, and during the present and all periods of repair it has not hail a proper outlet for the discharge of its sewage. The sewer has been under repair for the last three months. 2. An outlet has not Leen recently made for all the accumulated contents of the -Victoria street sewer ie close pre ximity to IVestrainster-hridge. All the sewage flowing into that portion of the Vic oria street sewer which is above Westminster-bridge has for the la t three menthe been dir,ctel into that old sewer as on all previous occasions of repair to the Victeria e'rett outlet. The Westminster bridge sewer outlet is extended to low water, and trapped at its mouth, and it is believed to be connected wi•h Mr. Gurney's system of sewer ventilation. 3. The area drained into the Vic toria-street sewer is about one-third cf a square mile. 4. The amount expended on the same s. , wer up to May last was 73,321/. 16.. 61. I beg to add, by three lee of tee chairman a quantity of lime will be immediately ap plied at the cutlet of the Bridge-street sewer, for the purpose of decdor iting the sewage." He might, there for., ray, that all steps that c 'old immediately be t eh en were now being token in reerence to this sewer, As to the many qu !pions which had been raised, it was im possible fear him to deal with them at once, is anything like a wisfext ,ry mariner. They were of •courim all agreed ai to the evil anti its sources, and every hon. gentleman expressed his earnest de,ire that somethieg el.oulil ho done. But beyond these two elementary positions, he believed they had not al vanced :o as to thro.v any great light on what Wrl4 to I e dune immediately. (Ideate hear.) The eon. member who c moneueed this discussion seemed anxious to for iw the whole responsibility on the Go vern atent—(hear)- - .vhich the Government entirely re pudiated, for the law gave them no power over the matter. The house NY; u'd allow him to refer to bow the present law originated. It was thought that the various communities of the metropolis should be placed in a po sition in which it might satisfacterily deal with all mu nicipal and local questions. An act was passed to give effect to this oeinion about three years ago, and in that act direct reference was made to the question of the sewage of London. The house roust recollect that the Metropolitan Board cf Works was established to carry out the decision of the Legislature. He wished to t blame on no one, for he believed that all parties had acted to the best of their judgment, and that they - had net been able to arrive at a conclusion in cen!equence of the difficulties of the question. Tae Metropolitan B ird had not refused to consider any plan submitted to them by the late or the present Government. Quits the rover-e, fit this very day the Metropolitan Board of Wsrks had been sitting fur the express purpose of seeing whether they could nit devise some plan for arresting these evils. N 4 plan could be submitted by the Govern. ment to the Metropolitan Board of Works. The hon. member for Bath (Mr. Tar) bad gone into a clear 6 1 1111)086 of his views. The chairman of the committee on which he had the honour to sit had alluded to the work of the committee and the duty of the Government.; but be must be allowed to iay that while he found authorities differing so widely as to the Sources of the evil, and still more widely as to the remedy, and when he found that those reinediee involved such enormous expenditure that the metropolitan districts endeavour to repudiate being responsible for the expenditure—(hear)—Governments, past or present, na tiredly showed no_desire to take on themselves an expenditure the extent of which no one knew, and the results of which were very dubious. It did not become him hastily to say that the Government would take on themselves the responeibility of "vending millions of money, and of settling this urea; queetion. Whet he could tell hon. gentlem en was this, that the question was occupying the Must serious attentian of the Goternment, and that they would do their best be fore the session closed to introduce, if they find it to be necessary, a measure which would confer euffieieut power on the Metropolitan Board of Works, or on any other department existing or to be created, fur the satis factory conclusion of this question. (Cheers) lie would not on into details on OA great question haw far the 1-etva - ge shouli be carried, Jr inothe question of the onabAnkwent of the Thames. On the one hand there wan tho M. trop,litan Bard of Works, ailed by the experi ence they had i.cquirei, steadily endeavouring to find proper remedy ; on the other hand, the Govern rent was prepared to act cordially with them, and to submit to the consideration of Parliarner.t some 7 chtme ; for the amendment of the exAing la lie knew be ha ex pressed very insufficiently the views which he should be prepared to explain at greater length on a future ccca ion. He would content himself with saying that so far az h:s knowledge went the statement which he had heard from the hon. member Lr Bath (Mr. Tite) of the perf et u cce , a of the deodorising system at 1.-ficester was per f,ctly borne out. He hill a letier from a leading phy sician that nothing could be more successful than the der;dori , sinz, system so far as sanitary matters were con cerned. H e h ope d t h at the house would not think that the Government were ceghetiog their duty if they did t;tls.outehe matter cut of th e b an d s o f t h e proper conati -d authorities, and he assured them that the CAO vernment would give every assistance to the proper auth, rities, and would du what they could to substitute a mere perfect machinery, endowed with mere ample powers of puriicetion of the Thames. Mr. BRADY slid he had known the Thames for thirty years. but bad never known it so offensive as at present. Unless something were done, a second plague of London might be expected. He thought the house was responEible for any calamities which might arise. Ile trusted that the mater would be considered in a manner which would show to ,the people of Landon that their lives were cared for. He knew families were flying from London ; and when he had riildan over W(sttninster-bridge he `ound that many persons, as they approached the bridge, put handkerchiefs to their noses and used scent bottles. Mr. BENTINCK must enter his protest against the doctrine that had been laid down by the hon. member for Guildford (NIT. Mangles.) He agre el it was a money question, and ail he wanted was to protest against the money being taken cut of the wrong pocket. First they were asked for money for a park far the metropolis, and next a bridge was constructed, and they were asked to forego the security of the tols; and then, when there came the question of the sewers, it was immediately stated that this was an imperial question, and that the whole country was bound to contribute. The inhabitants of a town ought to pay for their own sewerage. It was monstrous that the richest city in the world should al ways try to relieve itself of its just obligations. What would be said if boo. members asked for public money for the purposes of towns a hundred miles off ? If the Thames were not purified, London would be deserted, and the inhabitants would sustain a greater loss than by paying for the sewer-. Mr. AYRTON prot-sted against the imputation which had been made that metropolitan members, in deference to their constituents, asked for public money for local purposes. The difficulty did not lie in the demands cf the metropolis, but in the f ict that the Illtropolis had always • been a bugbear in the eyes of the Executive Government, and bad been refte=ed municipal privileges, but municipal intelligence should go far to counteract the want of intelligence on the part of the executive. (Laughter.) It was only ten years since a whig prime minister had declared that it would be impossible to grant municipal institutions to the metropolis, because the population was so enormous. It was aut three years since any approach to municipal institutions had been given, and did they suppose that the blunders of centuries were to be remedied in a mo ment ! Had the right hon. gentleman below him been able to carry his measure in its integrity, practical measures .would have been taken ere now, but the municipal body had been counteracted by a commission, and the result had been to cover the whole affair with absurdity and ridicule. He should astound the house by acquainting it with what this commission proposed to do. It proposed to provide at once what might be necessary forty years hence, thus quadrupling the ex panse, and not only to carry away the sewage of the metropolis, but to make provision for ten times the quantity, besides all the rainfall of the Burr moding dis trict'. If the matter was lift to the municipality they would make the Thames, not certainly pure as a moun tain rivulet, but healthy and fit ftr all the purposes to which it was at present applied. The only way to remedy the.present state cf things would be to give the metropolis municipal institutions the same as every other town, and then it would deal with municipal ques tions with practical wisdom and sagacity. Sir B. HALL wished to say a few words in conse quence of what bad fallen from the hon. member who bad just spoken, who had, however, misrepresented the case. As soon as the Metropolitan Board presented him (Sir B. Hall) with a plan which bad an outfall, he put it into the hands of three of the most eminent engineers in England, and further, he asked them if they did not approve of it, to suggest some other plan themselves. They did propose a plan, which he sent to the Metro politan Board of Works, and the latter placed it in the hands of their own engineer. All he had to re gret was that the Board of Works, when they re ceived the report of their own engineer, did not take it in hand at once, but postponed its consideration until October next. On one point he agreed with the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, and that was that the metropolis was placed in a peculiar difficulty. In all other towns in England in Europe there was a municipality for the whole of the city; but the London municipality extended over a very small area, and regulated the affairs of but 129,000 out of two and a half millions of people. (Hear, hear.) Other municipalities could levy money for the improvement of the whole city; but in London the power of levy ranged over a very small portion of the metropolis, and was expended within a very small area. This was a matter which required the consideration of Parliament. (blear.) After what had passed on the pre vious day in that house respecting the Corporation Re form Bill, it was quite impossible it could pass during the present session, and therefore there would be time for its consideration. He should refrain from further observation, because the Chief Commissioner of Works bad indicated the wisest course, which was to put him self in communication with the Board of Works, and see whether, in order that the main drainage should be carried out, it would be necessary to alter the law. Should he think it advisable to alter the law he (Sir B. Hall) would advise him to look at the 141st section of the bill, which the noble lore's party opposed, and which he (Sir B. Hal.) way in consequence obliged to withdraw. The object of that clause was to enable the Treasury to advance money on the security of the rates, and in consequence of its withdrawal it was impossible to proceed with any works. Should there be any new legislation be would strongly advise the re-insertion of 1 this clause. (Hear.) If any scheme, such as that put forward by the hon. wernbsr f-r Bath, should be consi dered, a new bill would be necessary, because an outfall was already fixed, not only outside the metropolis', but was fixed so low down, in deference to the wishes of the house, as to preclude the possibility of the waters ever coming back. He ventured to throw out these sag , gestioes in case the noble lord should have to re-intro-- duce the matter to Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —My noble friend the President of the Board of Works has dealt with this question in so candid and clear a manner that it is really unnecessary for me to touch it at any length. An hon. gentleman, I think, has charged the Government with the responsibility of this matter. It is unnecessary for me to say that no legal responsibility can devolve on the Government in respect to it ; but I admit that a moral responsibility lies upon us to do all is our power to prevent public disaster, and I am sure no set of men in our position would for a moment wish to avoid that responsibility. For the last three or foul days our earliest and constant attention has been given to the Fut ject, and I trust the result ( f that attention will be far the public advantage. The commissions and committees on this question have, no doubt, in many re-pects done their duty well, but the time has come when it is absolutely necessary that action shonll corn raence. (Otters.) I very much agree with the Lon. gentleman the niernher for the Tower Ilan lets iu the observation which he wade as to the greet delay that had taken place in the establishment of what I may eall this new Beard in this great metropolis. But, a though there is a greet deal of truth in his observatio.i.s, it it also impossible to deny that what has occurred bas been the natural cot. sec - pence of what probably cusldnot have been prevented—the jealousy which always exists when new institutions are rising by the side of ancient ones. We must not forget all tha', and we must remember that under the pressure and consciousness of the e cir cumstances Parliament a few years ago determined to establish a great corporation—l mean the Metropolitan Board, to which so much refsrence has been made. Bat, although we have invee' ed it with great powers, unfer• tunately this great corporation, which has to guard the interests dial regukte tha management of probably a hundred times more pe mle and property than are en trusted to the guardianship of the c wporation of the city ol London, has an unlimited power of rating, which has been proved to be nothing bets r than a theoretical idea. (Hear.) It cannot carry that power into effect. (Hear, t ear.) It has '-xperienead is its local direct taxa tion the same obstacles which we (experience with regard to imperial direct taxation. I, therefore, think that the thee has come when, having thrown upon tsis cor poration so great a respon ibility, ws should consider whether we ought not to furnish it with those means which are adequate to the due fulfilment of its great dutiee. (Elea-.) Now I believe that it is in a ant of funds. It is to that fact, and not to any system of dou le I government, as has been suggested, that the inefficiency of the Metropolitan Board of Works is to be attributed. I think that Parliament would act prudently in provid ing that bedy with sufficient means for the adequate ful filment of its duties. In the present situation of affairs there are two duties which h•er Majesty's Government have to fulfil—one towards this house, and one, of course, towards the population of this metropolis gene rail. 'With regard to their duty to this house, I eta.- tainly am perfrctly prepared, on the part of her Majes ty's GJvernrsent, to say that there shall be no lack of energy and no want of zeit! on our part to bring the busi ness of this house t) a cot elusion as soon as we can con- sistent!y with our public duty.

THE TENANT RIGHT QUESTION. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, before I sit down I hope I may be per rn itt e i to re f er to a qu stion. which was addressed to me on a subject of a very different character, arid to which I should not feil it necessary under those circumstances to reply ; but I thought it might be deemed a want of courtesy if I were to give no answer to the hon. gentleman. It appears that the hon, gentleman, has discovered that a considerable part of the.data on which ,his inquiry is founded is in a:curafe. think the house will feel that there is nothing more inconvenient than to found an inquiry upon aecowi haud infoxpiagouof a conversation which - _AIYE N f - 1 UNE has taken piece beyond the walls of the house. I shall tot touch in detail upon those allusions which are con tained in the inquiry of the hon. gentlemen, because I understand he himself row admits that be has elisc)vered that they are founded on incorrect information. [lir. P. O'Brien--L is only the first part of my notice that is incorrect.] The first part is incorrect, and the other is not very accurate. (Laughter.) Now, with regard . to the intent:on of the Government on the suject to which the hon. gentleman referred—namely, teat of landlord and tenant in Irelae d, I may say this, that it is a great many years - some five or six—since that question was introduced into the discussions c-f this house, and it has been frequently, and almost constantly, debated since its introduction. I think and hope teat all of us —gentlemen on both sides of the house—have profited by those frequent discuodone. F, certainly is the inten tion of her Mej-sty's Government during the recess to give their most earnest consideration to that question. (Cheers.) My right honourable friend the Attorney• General has alt , ady directed his a' tention to it, and I shall be happy if he may be able at the reassembling of Parliamert to introduce a measure upon the ques tion of landlord and tenant in Ireland which may prove a satisf iceory and conclusive settlement of the question. (Cheer..) 114 r. AIAGUIRE defended himself against the obser vations of the hon. member for the King's County. He (Mr. Maguire) had been before the house since 1852, and he thought he might say that he had acted through out the part of an independent member. It was not owing to his vote that the present Government was in power. He had voted for the noble lord the member for Tiverton, against the motion of the right hon. mem ber for Ashton, but the present Government being in office, he conceived it only right, as an Irish member, and as an independent member, that he should give them fair play. (Ministerial cheers.) He believed that, so far as they bad gone, they bad done more for the Cause of progress than had been done by their predecessors in ten years, and therefore he had not joined in any of the miserable faction equabbles tai . h which they bad been assailed. With respect to the tenant right question, he was not going to pin himself to a measure which was a mockery and a sham. It was not his fault if the tenant right question was not carried. It was not he who had sold a party and exposed a came to ridicule. He had introduced a bill containing a retrospective clause, and it had been defeated by a majority of three to one. Thinking, then, that the independent Irish party had some claim upon the Government as having given them fair p'ay, and not being in search of some potty lordship of the Trea , ury, such as was thrown to minor politicians —(a laugh)—waiting nothing for himself but sornothieg for his country, he and the gentlemen with whom be acted went to the present Government to see whether a settlement .f the question could not be procured. They did not ask fur a retrospective clause, but they asked for some measure which might be satisfactory to the country. As to his being a newspaper proprietor, he admitted the fact, and he was not ashamed of it, and to whatever he wrote in his paper he attached his name, so that he was always responsible. Hear, hear.) He was not one of those liberals who stabbed in the dark and slandered in anonymous articlee. The reason he had not asked the hon. member for the Queen's county was that the present Government were scarcely warm in their seats when the hon. member on the part of all Ire land made a tremendous attack. He (Mr. Magu re) ad witted that the hon. member had nut quite destroyed them, but he bad established his own character for poli tical eccentricity. He treated all the hon. member's in sinuations as he would a mere puff of the Thames nuis ance. (A laugh.) He trusted that right hon. gentlemen opposite would be able to introduce to Parliament a sa tisfactory solution of the tenant-right question. Mr. O'BRIEN (much excited) would toll the hon. mem ber for Dangarvon, ashehad told him in another place— (Order.) The hon, member insinuated that he had sent anonymous contributions to a newspaper. Mr. M A GUIRE —No, no. Mr. O'BRIEN—Then do you withdraw everything? The SPEAKER—The question is, that this house, on its rising, adjourn to Monday next. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. O'Brien here suddenly left the house, and the mo tion was agreed to. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA (No. 3) BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. SLANEY proceeded to make some observations on the past and present government of India. The East India Company had, during the 60 years they had held rule in India, confined their attention to raising revenue, without caring for the welfare of the people, and the consequence was that they were worse paid and more oppressed than any other people perhaps on -the face on the earth. He agreed with much that had been said by the hon. member for Birmingham, and ho trusted, now that the, government of India was about to be transferred from the East India Company to the Crown, the moral and physical elevation of the people of India would be the first object of the go verning power. The house then went into committee on the bill. Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to without comment. On clause 3, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY complained of the power this clause would place in the hands of the Secretary of State. If he understood the clause correctly it placed the whole power of dealing with the Indian revenue in the hands of the Secretary of State, and that without check or control. In fact, it placed iu his hands all the powers in respect to finance which were now exercise I by the Court of Direc tors under the check of the Board of Control and the Court of Proprietors. He wanted to know whether that was in tended, and whether there would be any objection to in sert the word " and council" after "secretary of st.te ?" Mr. C.'FORTESCUE would movie to insert the words " and council of India" after the words Secretary of Stats. In this respect he thought the bill of the late Government was much better than the present one. If they wore to have a council at all, it ought to be a reality, and it should take -a vital and active part iu the note ti a isaetion of India business—not to consider with the Secretary of State, but to consider and advise with him on all matters of importance, he being responsible for either, acting upon or rejecting their advice. He did not agree with the consti tution of the council as proposed by the bill now under consideration. Sir J. GRAHAM remarked that as the bill had only been read a second time last night, and as the noble lent (Stanley) then intimated that ho proposed to introduce many important alterations, it would perhaps have been more convenient if they had only gore into committee pro forma, in order that these alterations might be inserted be fore they were called upon to discuss these clause% This was an important clause. It transferred to the miuister, and the minister only, all the power now exercised by the President of the Board of Control, and a'l the powers exercised by the Court of Directors. In agreeing to that they ought to know ureter what limits those powers were to be exercised. At present the President of the Board of Contrbl had not the power to expend a single shilling of the revenues of India in England. He could not grant a pension or order any ex penditure to beincurredhere without the concurrence of the Court of Directors ; and it was only through the medium of the secret committee that it could order any exp?.aditure in India. But this clause gave to the minister unlimited powers of ordering any amount of expenditure in India without the concurrence of any member of his council, and it conferred on him power to grant pensions in thie coun try, or to order any expenditure at home without any limitation or check whatsoever. Then what were the limits to this power conferred in other parts of the bill? As far as he could discover there were no limits in regard to expendi ture unless it were in chose 58, which was somewhat equi vocally worded, but which did not appear to him to contain any sufficient restraint. ( flear.) Again, with regent to petrenage. This clause placed unlimited powers of patron age in the hands of the minister. All the appointments, save the first nominetim to commissions and the tint no initiation to clerkships, were to rest with the minister. Those were the only limitations (Hear.) In the twelfth clause of the bill of the noble lord opposite (L Palmer stoei there was a limit imposed. It was there provided that no expenditure should ho incerred in England without the concurrence of at last four members of the council--that was one-half of the whole 'rely, as the nob'e lord proposed the constitution of the council. The noble lord (Stanley) glanced, he thought, iu his speech of the previous evening at some limitation to the power of the minister in regard to expenditure as checked by the existing regulations, and he also glanced at the provisions of the bill of the noble lord the member for Tiverton to which he (Sir J. Graham) had referred ; bat the noble lord, he believed, thought the limit suggested in that provision inexpedient ; that it was better there should be no limitation, and that the Indian Minister should have unlimited power, subject only to the moral control of his responsibility to the House of Commons. Now he (Sir J. Grisham) thought the check of the control of the House of Commons over ac counts rendered at a very long date after the expen diture had boon incurred, was not so efficient as the control proposed by the noble lord the member for Ti verton--(hear, hens)—and he should ba glal to hear, be fore they went further with the bill, what were the checks the noble lord (tatilee.) proposed to create, first, with re gard to the matter of expenditure is India, next, with regard to expenditure at home, in lieu of the concurrence of a considerable portion of the Board of Directors, with out which the Boatel of Control ha, I no such powers of expenditure ; he also wished to know what wore the checks the noble lord proposed to introduce with regard to patron ages other than those to which he had referred. (Hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK, observed that the council, as proposed by this biil, was constituted for life ; whereas the council propcsed in the bill by the noble lord (Pell nerston) was constituted for a limited period. That made all the dif ference ; and practically, if they gave the power to such a council, they would give it to an irresponsible body. Sir J. GRAH.-Vri reminded the hon. and learned gentleman th a t th ey were now discussing the 3rd c l ause, which conv e y e d t h e power as i t appeared to him ( Si r J . Graham) w i t h ou t li m i t; and it would be inexpedient, in considerin g th a t , t o enter i nto the question of t h e con stitution of the council. Colonel SYKES explained that at present the Presi dent of the Board of C iirtrol had no power to expend a shilling in England, but be might expend any amount ho pleased through the secret o rmmittee, as bad been done in cne case, where 120,000/. bad been expended in new war steamers. The Court of Directors could ex pend no mosey at . home without the consent of the Board of Control ; and only then to the ex'ent of 500/. in individual grants, or pensions not exceeding 2001. a.year in any case. For any grant or pension of a larger amount they must have the consent of the Court of Proprietors, and that consent must be confirmed at a subsequent meeting. Sir E. PERRY stated that the limit imposed upon the Court of Directors in the case of grants was 6001. He agreed that there should be some such checks over the expenditure as now existed, and with that view he proposed that no grant beyond 600/ , or pension exceed. ing 2001. a year, should be granted by the Secretary of State without the sanction of the Reuse of Commons. ( Dear.) Mr. AYRTON suggested that the only constitutional check over the expemlitura was to insist upon an annual aPProlniaticn act, as was the ease with the public expen diture in this country. Lord STANLEY stated that the words "or as herein otherwise provided," would include any check now in the bill, or which might be hereafter introduced, so that by passing this clause the house would not be prevented from enacting any further checks it might think neces , aty. The first thing they had to do was to decide upon the-theory and principle of their legislation. The hon. gentleman opposite proposed to add the words "and council ;" that wag, to divide the power between the Secretary of State and the council. That was a fair proposition ; but if it wore accepted, it entirely did away with the whole pro fesaed object of the noble lord's (Lord Falruersto,n'P) bill ; - 2 issa - - because the principle that be desi re d t o carry ou t was th a t member —_ for Louth, because he believed it would be the of undivided responsibility.

BARING said he was aware of the clause in case eventually, but no such reduction could take place for question, but it was so inconsistent with the argument of some time. He was ready to bow to the decision of the the noble lord with regard to the responsibility of the committee, but he must say that the more he saw of the Minister, that he thought it provided for a mere formal amount of business the less he liked the reduction from signature, just as three Lords of the Treasury signed cer. fifteen to twelve.

It was said that there was some objection to the mode in which clause 51 had been passed, but be knew of nothing more fair than the manner in which that clause was car ried ; it was discussed at some length, and was then carried by an overwhelming majority.
