In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the last day oe two, business has been ra ther more active. At the public sales of tea a largo quantity was offered for public competition, but only a small amount was sold at about last sales' rates. Sugar has been in moderate demand, par ticularly the good grocery qualities, the prices of which have been well supported. In the Refined Market, however, business has been veryquiet, and slightly reduced rates are now current. For coffee there has been a moderate inquiry, 'good.qualities of Plantation Ceylon realising full rates. Natire Fold well, and other descriptions were dealt in to a moderate extent. The demand for rico for exporta tion has been very active, and some large sales have been effected. Prices, however, have declined about 3d. per cwt. Saltpetre has been at st-ady quotations, and tallow is dull, P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 495. Gd. ; July to September, 495. 3d. ; and last three months, 495. Gd. to 495. 9d. per cwt. Letters from Liverpool inen ion that the Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, and prices were fully maintained. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken cn speculation, and 500 for export. The Railway Share Market presented a quiet appearance, and values of all the leading lines were without alteration. A continuous drain of gold from the Bank, even although the amounts daily withdrawn may be limited, generally attracts attention, and causes seem anxiety. At present, however, the move ment,which is of a characterjust mentioned, creates little if any uneasiness ; firstly, because the stock of bullion is excessive, and secondly, in consequence of its being known that about a million and a quarter sterling is coming forward from Australia, and that it will probably arrive within a few weeks. Yesterday the quantity taken away was 32,0001., and there can be no doubt the remittances are for some Special purpose, and not for the ordinary Purchase of silver, or as an exchange operation. Discount accommodation, which is in limited demand, can now be obtained at extremely low rates. The market is again plethoric and easy, and the payment of the dividends already seems to have exerted an influence. It would not excite surprise if, instead of a rise in the minimum, such as was adverted to a few days a:7,0, a reduction should shortly form a point for discussion. A change either Way, however, seems improbable at present, for the requirements of trade and other purposes are too limited to reproduce stringency ; and with regard to increased facilities the Bank authorities, by their recent policy, have shown an intention not to force money to too low a point. It is satisfactory to notice the c nfidence expressed in the letters from the manufacturing districts with reference to future prospects. A change for the better already seems to have taken place ; the effects of th e l a t e cr i sis are slowly disappearing, and it is believed that during the autumn a further de cided step towards recovery will be witnessed. In France, too, there are marked indications of a re suscitation ; the letters from Paris, Lyons, Rouen, a nd Marseilles being decidedly more cheerful in tone. T he French Funds continue to advance, and the rise durin g the last fortnight has been fully 1 per Cent. This is a satisfactory feature ; for if the Movement should continue it will assist in dispersing the uncomfortable degree of laugour which has lately pervaded the Bourse, as well as other de- Partments of business. The usual return of the Bank of France for the PaA month has.been published to-day, and shows aurae rattier favourable features. The bullion has been increased to the extent of 702,7531., the total being 21,118,2791. Tne bills discounted have amounted to 15,740,2051., showing an angmenta- tion of 1,761,2981., and the advances on Railway Securities have been diminished to the extent of 322,958/. In the note circulation there is an in crease of 1,895,5761., the total being 25,317,5111. In the market for English Securities to-day the transa ctions have been numerous, and the quota tll)ll3 appear s t ea dy. N o var i a ti on o f i m p or t ance has yet occurred, and as the transfer books do not re open to the general public until the 16th, the market receives very little support from bona fide transactions. Consols have been 95 for money, an 95a I for August. The New Threes are 74 . ; and the Reduced, 95 ; Bank Stock is 221 to 222 ; and India ditto, 219 ; India Debentures are ; India Bonds, 16s. to 21s. prem. ; the March Exchequer Bills, 335. ; and ditto June, 19s. to 225. prem. In the Foreign Stock Market a fair amount of business has been transacted, but prices exhibit a do wnward te n d ency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 93 h ; ditto 4 per Cents., 104 g. ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents., 83; Guatemala 5 per Cents., 56i 7 ; Peru vian 41 per Cents., 89 ; ditto 4 per Cents., Uri barren Bonds, 75 ; R uss i an 41 per Cents., 99 ; Sardinia n 5 per Cents., 891 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 431 ; ditto Deferred, 271 ; and ditto Certificates, 5 ; Brazilian Scrip is to discount. in the Railway Share Market this day the transactions have been very moderate. Prices, ho we ver, have in most instances exhibited an im provement. Caledonian have advanced 1/. to 1/. 10s. ; Great Northern, Great Western, and North- Western, 1/. ; Midland, North-Eastern (Berwick), and North-Eastern (York), 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, ss. Eastern Counties have declined los., and Scottish Central 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have also been at advanced values. ?aria and Lyons have improved ss. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, i. Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares have b een exceedingly quiet, and there are no variations of importance. I litl US$ Ft - NM—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. STATE OF THE THAMES. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YESTER>>7. ) COMMISSIONERS OF EXHIBITION (1851) BILL. Oa the motion that this bill be read a third time, The Duke of NEWCASTLE suggested that the com minioners should have power to lease or sell a portion of their property for sites of the new barracks which would have to be erected in lien a the present barracks at Knightst , ridge, the leake of which was nearly out. Lord DONOUGHMORE said that the proposal made by the noble duke would be in opposition to the agree ment entered into with the commissioners in 1852. The bill was then read a third time end passed. Tne Churchee, &a. (Ireland), 8.11 passed through committee. On Tuesday the City Sewers Commissioners assembled at Guildhall, and Dr. Letheby presented his quarterly report to the commissioners. It was as follows : " The mortality tables for the spring quarter are now before you, and I have the satisfaction to say that they do not indicate an unfavourable state of the public health. It is true that the death-rate is a little larger than it wes during the spring quarter of last year, but it is still below the average, and, with two exceptions, it is the smallest number for the corresponding period of the last nine years. The total mortality for the quarter was 724, the average being 747, and of this number 301 belong to the East Lon don district, 155 to the West, and 265 to the Central — numbers which represent a yearly death-rate of 27 per 1,000 in the first-named district, 21.6 in the second, and 1 in the third; the total mortality of the city being at the rate of 23 3 per 1,000. This in the eggregete is not an exceesive mortality, for if we compare it with that of the nine preceding years it will be found that it is under the average to the extent of about 0 . 7 per 1,000 ; so that the death-rate of the cite will even bear comparison with that of ether places. It may be that the mode of estimating the sanitary condition of the city is not absolutely correct, and does not indicate the actual or even the preventible waste of human life, but it is sufficiently near to the truth, and is withal so intelligible, that it enables ns to form a very jut idea of the comparative mortality of the place, and to learn from it what has been the general state of the public health during any particular season. I believe, indeed, that, imperfect as the method is, it is infinitely more truthful awl satisfactory than a comparison of the death-rate of a city or town population with that of a model republic situated on the slope of an English hill, looking southward over fertile fields or distant seas, bathed in a pure atmosphere, supplied with a river of water of lire clear as crystal, with no impurity in its houses or streets for a single day, occupied by a people fed on fruits, grain, and meat from healthy places, and leading an active, good, and intellectual life. For such an Agapetuoue of health and happiness and idleness has never yet been realised, beautiful as is the come:tithe' ; and oven if it could be it would afford no just indication of what the sanitary condition of a city life ought to be. In point of fact, it is not altogether fair even to contrast the mortality of a city population with that of a few villages of Eng land, selected because of their unusual salubrity ; fur, apart from the evil consequences of filth and overcrowd ing —consequences that are, I admit, capable of ame lioration---there are in a city life many unwholesome influences which aro inseparable from the exercise of trade and commerce. They are the penalties of civilisation — the inevitable pains of industry, and it is Utopi in to ex pect that these can ever be so far reduced as to bring the state of a city life into the condition of an Arcadia, a ' model republic, or even of a quiet country village. "Of the 721 deaths in the quarter, 291 occur red among children of less than five years of age; 50 between the ages of five end 20 ; 92 between 23 and -10 ; 12S between 40 and €0; and 163 were among old percents of 60 and up wards. " The chief causes of death were diseases of the respira tory organs—diseases which were unusually fatal during the first month of the quarter. Of these 91 wore caused by phthisis, 43 by pneumonia, 50 by bronchitis, 19 by whoop ing-cough, 12 by croup and diphtheria, and 3 by asthma. There were also 30 deaths front violence, 33 from tubercu lar diseases of infancy, and 87 from convulsions, hyrbocc phalue, anti teething. Diseases of the zymotie class have not been unusually fatal ; for there were but two cases ee erysipelas. 8 of rc:tt let fever, 7 of infantile diarrhoea, and 4 of diarrhoea and dysentery among adults, of which three occurred in the workhouses and two out of the city. Tae mortality, therefore, from these affections has not been ex cessive, and this is somewhat retest ]cable when we consider what has been the state of the river end the temperature of the season. On some occasions during the last mouth the thermometer brae ranged on the same day from 60 to 93 degrees in the shade, and throughout the month the daily range has been from 13 to 31 degrees. On Wednesday, the 16th of Juno, the thermometer rose to 1i 7.7 degrees in the sun, and the mean temperature of the day was 76.9. This, according to Mr. Glaisher, is 15 de grees above the average of the day fur the last 43 years, anti it is erecter than has been experienced in June since the year 1813. Some of Ihese facts are represected in the 4th table of the appendix, which lives an account of the meteorology of the quarter from obssreations made at Gui!dhall under the superintendence of Mr. Heywood. " The high temperature of the last month, together with the continued absence of rain, has caused the Thames to assume an appearance anti to undergo a change which has never before been witnased. I bravo been engaged fair the last fortnight in making daily examinations of Thames water at different points between Teddington lock stool Greenwich, :led the results of those examina tions are, that the river is unusually charged with sea salt and organic matter. The oceanic tide in the river has risen as high as Wandswort a, and has thus contami nated the water w.th saline anti other impurities of the sea. As a rule, the soluble inorganic constituents of the river do not exceed 45 grains in the gallon at high tide at London-bridge, and the organic impur it • is not more than 4 grains to the gallon ; but during the lest fortnight the saline elements have amounted to 1 c grains in the gallon, and the organic to 12. Even at Westaninstei-bridge they have reached to 69 grains per gallon, and the organic mat ter to 5-6. The proportions at other places at high end low tides are given in the fifth table of the Appendix, and they show that the sea water has risen to a great height in the bed of the liver. Now allexperience proves that when ever such a mixture es this occurs at high temperature, putrefaction of a most offensive character is set ur. The sewage and the organic matte's and sulphates of the sea water have acted on each other, and have produced the state of things with which for the last fortnight we have been so familiar. The inky appearance of the river has been caused by the fixaticn of the sulphurettecl hydrogen by the iron of the clay. This has been the salvation of our lives, for, offensive as has been the vapour evolved from the river, it is as nothing in comp onoot with what it would h toe been if -the tnuchoseused cloy from the lower shores of the river had not fixed the miasm in a solid in voletile form. " As it is, however, the gases evolved from the water amount to about 15 cubic inches per gallon. They con vist chiefly of carbonic acid with aminotris, nitrogen, and a trace of oxygen. They do not contain eulphuretted hydrogen, but they contain a stinking vapour, which is in the highest degree offewire, and which inhaled 1- ro duces slight headache, giddiness, and nausea. The water at midstream is charged with the higher forms of animal and vegetable infusorial life, but that at the slier., is so lethal in its qualities that nothing exists iu it but the lowest forms of fungi and the simpl,st et living creatures. " With all this condition of the Thames, however, the health of the metropolis hiss been remarkably good, and the fact is illustrated not merely by the mortality returns, hut also by the still more insignificant returns of sickness. In the corresponding period of last year the cases of fever, diarrhea), and (I) sentery attended in the city by the medi cal officers of the union etuounted to 293 of the former and 181 of the latter ; but during the peat quarter they were only 202 of the former and 91 of the latter. It may be thought, perheps, that as the city is only a small section of the metropolis, it does rot represent the condition of the whole ; but returns have been collected by the medical officers of health throughout he capital, and these, like the lest, show a great falling off in the proportion of zytno tic disease.' . "In the 12 months of last year there were nearly 80,02'0 cases of sickness returned, Kul during the present period returns hare been more fully obtoiued, and they embrace as many as 114,000 cases of sickness. Of the former the proportion of fever cases amounted to 22'4 per 1,000, and of diarrhea and dysentery to 40'3, bat of the latter the proportions are 16'2 and 25'1. lam not in a condition to account for these remerkahle facts. It may bo that the prevailing winds of the seasen bare diluted the relearn, end have wafted it quickly away from the more densely populate 'I parts of the city ; or it may be that the unusual amount of ozone in the air has exerted its benefi cial influence by oxvdising the organic psieon ; or it may be that the strength of the human system after thubracing influence of winter has been sufficient to resist the morbific action of the malaria ; or it may be, a, some have said, that offensive as is the stink of the vapour, it has no lethal action on the animal system, for to use the words of a reviewer in one of the medical journals, `there is no necessary connec tion between bad odours and poisonous miasma, for we find that some of the most pestilential places in the world, such as the mouths of certain African rivers, the Sunder blinds of the Ganges, the routine Marshes, and our own fens, give no evidence of a poison by their odour, while, conversely, we may have an atmosphere charged with the most horrid stinks without it being dangerous to health, or at tiny rate, productive of fever, &c. 'My own opinion is, that the effects of the Thames' vapours hee d ° been warded off by the healthy and vigorous condition of the body at this season of the year, end that if the putrid miasma comes to operate upon us during the autumn, when the vital powers are exhausted and the animal frame relaxed by the heat of summer, the effects may be very r serious. We shall do well, therefore to take the matter into serious consideration, and to pro vide, as far as pos sible, for the danger that may arose out of it. which will "The last point to which I have to refer is that relates to the sanitary work of the question. You your _ in spectors have perceive by the sixth table that visited 2,128 houses, and that 617 orders h ave been issued for works of a sanitary character.. e Inspecto of Com mon Lodging-houses has made 670 visite o d r it e r r i e n r g tile r quarter . , overcrowding of 43 and has furnished certificates of the houses. In these there were 65 rooms occupied by 293 $ 4 me n, 119 women, and tso children persons, —namely, I have had occasion to remark that some of these house+ . were complained of on a former accasion„ , but that out of regard to the landlord, and with a promise from him that they should not be o ccupied by him in an indecent or un wholesome manner , you cud not enforce the order for re gistration. and this leniency has been productive of much mischief. I may instance Rose-alley, in Bishopsga,te-street, as a case in which your clemency has been abused, and is indicates very clearly the necessity for enforcing the regis tration of such places whenever they are found to be im properly and unwholesomely overcrowded. "Guildhall, July 6." The Marriages (Moscow, Tahiti, and Ningpo) Bill was read a third time. COUNTY COURTS DISTRICTS BILL. Oa the motion that the bill be read a third time, The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the omission of the sth clause, said he was in error iu stating on s former evenirg that in one case a judge only sat forty five limes in the course of one year. It turned out, however, that this gentleman had sat 115 days, but this was not very oppressive labour for a judge. Tho hill was then read a third time.

CO DRINGTON asked the Secretary of State for War, whether it was true that on the arrival of the 92d Reiiment in Thmbay in May last, it was quartered in the Colaba Barracks, which had long been pronounced unfit for European troops; whether the regiment had n. 4 had many cases of fever in those barracks ; and why the usual Inuian clo hing was not given to that regiment till six weeks after its arrival 'I Lord STANLEY replied that he caused inquiries to be made both at the Board of Control and the East In-, dia House on the subj-0 , , hut he regretted to say he had not received any official informatiun, or indeed informa tion of any kind, as to the 921 Regiment. He could not, therefore, give the bon, and o.l!aut officer any answer as to the alleged cause of the fever, or wby the clothing was not provided. He would bear the question in mind, and cause every inquiry to be made. New barracks were built in B•.mb4", nut they were not as yet in a eaeditio❑ to receive troop•. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. In answer to Mr. WISE, Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that law; year represen. tations were made by the European Governmet.ts to the Egyptian Government, that complaints were made by tte British inhabitants resident at. Cairn, that the new p lies regulati.ins issued by the Victo-ny (.1 E!ypt had militated against the important privileges which they previously eni)yed ; and it was represented to the Eg;ptian Government that those regulations were op pressive atid contrary to immemorial usage. The British Consul asked that those regulations might be modified, and in some cases that they might be anrogated, repre senting a►t the same time that they were considered op pressive. Ile Lai no oLjection to lay the papers on the subject or. the table of the house. THE COUNCIL OF INDIA. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the President of the Board of Control whether it was intended that the Council of India should act by one of its uffictr4 as the official agent to the Administrators-General in India. L.,rci STANLEY, in reply, said that in such matters it had been biamrto the custom of the East India Com pany to administer the affairs of India, and henceforth the Secretary of State , for India and the new council would continue to administer thwo3 matters ; but if they found incor.venisnce to arise, then the Government would consider the propriety of traneferring those powers elsewhere. TUE RIGIIT OF svatcri. Lord DUN CAN, seeing the hon. member for Gate!. head in his place, wished to put a question to him. He saw that the hon. gentl man had a motion on the paper rtferring to the disc,uti❑uacce of the "right of search," and he was de6irous to know trom him whether it was his intention to bring that question forward tomorrow (this nay), and if so, whether he would bring It forward at the tnerning or tee evening sit ing ? Mr. HUTT, in reply, sa d it was his intention to bring the question flr warci to-morrow. Tie CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if it would be equa ly convenient to the hon. member to po,•tpene his question till Monday, be hoped he would have no objecti:;n to do SO. The Uoverntnent were in ex pectation that, between this day and Monday, they would rec,ive some information on the subject from the Government of the United Ste es. He therefore hoped the hon. member would postpone his question to tbat day. Mr. HUTT, under those circumstances, could not hesi tate in acceding to the request of the tight bun. gentle man, but he trusted the right bon. gentleman would affird hint an opportunity of bringing forward his ques tion on Monday eve , ing. DOCKYARD SERVANTS. Mr. WILSON wielied to u.k the right hon. gentle man the C;iancellor of the Exc,trquer whether dockyard servants would be brought in for the benefits to which othf rs wcula be entitled under the Royal Warrant in reference to the Superannuation Act? The CH AN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply, said if the non gentleman would reter to toe Superannua tion Act which be had brought in the other day, he would find by the second clause that it did not apply to them by act of Parliament, by Order of Council, er by Royal Warrant. Toe dockyard labourers grid their appoint ments by an Order in Council, and of course it would nut apply to them, and the act which he brought in did not apply. With regard to the general question, whether they were brought cut of the Superannuation Act, it was the desire of her Msjesty's Goveintnent that they should continue in the service, but of curse that would depend upon the Board of Admiralty. But it wa=, be might repeat. the wish of the Treasury that they should be continued in the service, and that the act ettould he Ex tended to them. Thu right hon. gentleman then stated it was not his intention to propane the second reading of the bill that night. OXFORD UNIVEREITY COMMISSION.—The report of this commission jest issued chiefly refers to the question of fellowships. The commissioners have regarded it as an essential part of their duty to insure that fellowships shall be determined, generally, by the personal merits and fitness of the successful candidate, and not by acci dents of birth or locality. They have therefore provided for the total abolition of such preferences, except in the cave of two colleges to which they were . prepared to add St. John'e, the peculiar crcumstanme of these colleges appearing to warrant a diflereice of constitation. The two in which prefer ences continue to exist are New College and Jesus Cul lege. It would appear that the authorities of St. John's College made a proposal, which the commissioners re fueri, as calculated to secure to the college the odious character of a "close' institotion. They necordin.4ly adhered to their previous decision, which will be carried out. ETON COLLEGE.—Mr. Routledge, K.S., is now cap tain of the school, in consequence of a resignation occa stoned by the death of the Rev. Mr. Kirwan, late East. India Company's chaplain at Lucknow. when Willis, the former captain, took his departure for King's. This g-Ji tlecoan, whilst at Eton, gained second Richards' E. eiy prize, Cluistmais, 356 ; Prince Consort's Iraliau prize, 1856 and 1857, wq ; Theme Piiz - r, Efectivn, 1857 ; Triune Prize, Christmas, 1857. In consequence of the marriage of the Priecaes [loyal there will be 'au extra week's holidays at the election vacation.

HOUSE OF LORDS.--(This Evening.) The LORD CEIANC4LLOR took his seat on tke woolsack at five o'clock. The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition from Norfolk, in fsvour of marriage with a deceased eif.'s sister. Lord OVERSTONE presented a number of similar petitions from the city of London and other places. Tne noble lord stated that in his opinion no grounds existed for the opposition this bill was likely to encounter on the ground that the marriages which it was sought to be legalized were contrary to the word of God. The numerous petitions he bad presented, he thought, were conclusive on the point, as they all distinotly stated that no scriptural or moral objections t, the bill could be found, and he conjured noble lords not to reject the bill when it came before them. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. This bill was read a first time. Eml. DERBY said he proposed to take the second row - ling of this bill ou Thursday. He did not wish to hurry the discussion on this bill, but he was anxious that no unnecessary delay should take place with respect to this measure. Earl GRANVILLE said as far as he was personally concerned, Thursday would be perfectly convenient. The Earl of DERBY—Then the second reading will be moved on Thursday and the aoinmittee on Friday. THE SL AVE TRADE. Lord TRURO asked whether it was the intention of the Government to renal the British squadron from the Cuban waters in order to increase the force now block ading the coast of Africa, and if so, whethee the Go vernment had made any inquiry to how far it was de sirable to continue that blockade. The Earl of MALMESBURY said her Majesty's Government had thought it prudent to give orders to diminish the Fqqadron on the Afr!can coast, but there was no intention of withdrawing it altogether. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dublin and Math Railway Bill Wal read a se cond time. The West End and Crystal Palace Railway. Vale of Towy Riilway, Hove Imprivement, and Victoria Sta tion and Pimlico Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. PARSONAGE HOUSES. Viscount DUNG A.NNON ca►led attention to the in convenient and frequently harsh and unjust nature of the present law with regard to the dilapidations on glebe bousee ; and asked whether the Archbishop of Canterbury colitemplated in a future session introducing any meamre calculated to meet the existing evi! ? The Bishop of LONDON, in the absence of the Arch bishop of Canterbury, said a bill with tbis intention been prepared by his predecessor in the see of London, and was still under the consideration of the episcopal bench, but the subject was surrounthd with gre a t difficulty. He though sortie machinery ought to be de vised for securing the periodical rxamination of parson age houses. After a few words from the Bishop of CHESTER, Viscount DUNGANNON expressed his gratification that the au' ject was under consideration. The subject then dropped. [LEFT SITTING HOUSE OF COMIVIONS.—(This Day.) The SPEAK= took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considert;r l And agrewi tat Kent Railway (Wee tern Extenstun) ; Formartine and Buchan R ditto)" ; North British It:L.:11%11 (Consolidation, ; Shrews bury and Welchpool Railway ; Blackburn Railway ; and East Suffolk, Yarmouth, and Haddi , cle, and Lowestoft and atccles Railway annp22ies Amalgamation. The Westminster Palace note; C.onpany (Limited) Bill fftte read a third time and passed, The Glasgow College Estate Bill Was read a second tine. SUPPLY. After some discussion, in which the toll system gene rally was very strongly condemned by hon. members on i g s s o u i negt intol B in u n P i P i i s a l' o n . THE HOP DULY. Sir J. SHELLEY' called the attention of the Clian cellor of the Exchequer " to that portion of the second report of the commissioners of Inland Revenue relat- G O ov re e t r h n e m m en ° t i w " ou f l ')dr ing to hops in which reference is made to the minutes . of proceedings of the Hop Duty Committee which sat last year, and a presumption expressed by the said commissioners as to the opinion which that committee wadi ul'imately have reported to the house, although Lord The m E a L t C io t n lo was mo w v it e presented to her M3jesty, praying she will be graciously pleased to issue a Royal C..mmission, to inquire and re port how far it may be desirable and practicable to sub • struts an equi-able eystem of assessment in lieu of tee present mode of maintaining the public roads in Scot laud by tolls and statute : l ab cur." Mr. WALPOLE said the Lord A•!vocate was in fe" ur of the issue of a 1i , .; al Commiasion, and he asked the noble lord to allow t;,,e amendment to be negatived, that he (Mr. Walpole) align. °°° Blll ‘ the in tended Lord Advocate on the subject. Sir E. COLEBROOKE was favourable to t'oe main tenance of the roads in Scotland by an equitable aeoss meet instead of by tolls. Mr. IL HERBERT said the spawn of assessment ' instead of tolls had been found to work well in Ireland. Mr. BLACKBURN said the interests of Scotland and England were so intimately connected that the commissioners ought to have powers to examine into the question of tolls on turnpike roads in England Al well as in Saotlend. both sides of the house, no report was made by the committee." 111 condemned the heavy ainouut of the hop duty, and raid that he was afraid if the hop-growers of inferior sorts were not blessed with a blight—(laughter) — this year, they would be obliged to have their hops destroyed from being unable to pay the duty, owing to the deprecia tion in price large crops would produce. After some remarks from Mr. KNISUT and Mr. B. Horo, Mr LOCKE (Southwark), as a member of a com mittee who sat on this subject, said he believed the committee, if polled, would nave been adverse to the abolition of the duty. The committee were of opinion that the sooner the hop growers of Sussex ' ,bat up shop as growers of hops the better. It was impossible for them to produce the superior qualities of hops, and in consequence they had been sufLrers. The subject dropped. THE PURIFICATION OF THE THAMES. Mr. COX moved the following resolution :—" That this house is of opinion that the cost of the purification of the river Thame', in the vicinity of the metropolis, sbould be borne by the Consolidsted Fund and the metropolitan ratepayers in equal proportions." He said 93. in the pound of the coal tax. impoved for tee improvement, of the metreplis, Was appropriated I!) , the Government to purposes of their 04), and that fact alone entitled the metropolitan ratepayers to some consideration in this matter. He charged the Govern ment with being the first cause of the nuisa nce, 1 from having sanctioned the scheme for e mp t y in g the sewage of the metropolis daily into the Thamas. Re referred to what had been done by the Metropolitan Board of Works and the Chief Commissioner of Works with reference to the drainage and sewage of the metro polis, and asked the houss to agree to his motion. General THOMPSON seconded the motion. This was a case in which the whole community ought to assist the metropolis. Mr. BENTINCK opposed the motion. Upon every ground it was to the interest uf the metropolis and the duty of the inhabitants to carry out their own, improve % 'aunts and unitary regulations without calling upon the country to pay for them. If the metropolis was visited with pestilence the inhabitants would be losers. Every stranger who visited London paid his fair share of local taxation during his stay here. Sir G. C. LEWIS opposed the motion. The term of the proposal was contrary to the forms of the house, and the principle involved in the motion was objection able. He asked the house not to discuss the subject then, but wait till the Government had brought forward a measure on the subject, as promised. He defended the clnrse pur ued by the late Government with re ference to the drainage seheme proposed by the Metro politan Board of Works. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked if the hon. mover of the resolution was wrong in point of form. A portion of the expense of the metropolitan police force was paid out of the consolidated fund, and he saw no reason why the consolidated fund should not contribute towards re• moving the stench of the metropolis. The SPEAKER said there were precedents for the course now pursued. It would, however, lead to no prac'ical result ; for, if the motion was agreed to, the question of charge must be commenced de noro, sub ject to the forms which the house had directed to be pursued on money questions. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it would be better to withdraw the motion. It was the intention of her Majesty's Government to in'rodnce a bill on an early day next week for the purification of the Thames. (Hear, hear.) The house would then have a lezitimate opportunity for entering into a discussion of the sill j-et. Mr. GLADSTONE concurred in the suggestion of the Chance for of the Excheqxer. Mr M‘M.AHON considered it was desirable the house should then express an opinion on the subject, because many hon. members would have to leave London next week to attend the assizes. If the country at large was to contribsite towards the purification of the Thames, for the convenience of the legislature, it would be better for Paliament to assemble in Dublin—(laughter)—where they would be well received—(laughter)—or Oxford, or Edinburgh. or bill t a new house in II Ide Park. Mr. BLACKBURN hoped the hou,e would negative the motion. The metropolis ought to cleanse itself. Sir J. SL ELLEY thought the motion should be postponed till after the introduction of the proposed Go vernment measure. A. di s cussion ensued, in which Mr. Smith, Mr. Clay, Lord J. Manners and Mr. Cox took part. The latter gentle:nan was prepaared to accede to tbo suggestion, but the house would not permit the withdrawal of the motion. On the motion being pu!., - - Mr. W. WILLIAMS rose to order. The motion %sae then pot and negatived without a division. SCIENCE AND Ala. Mr. BLAKE called the attention of the house to the injudicious course pursued by the departments of scieree and art, in diminishing, in some instances, the allow ance to provincial schools, before art instruction bad be come sufficiently appreciated in such localities as to run der the schools independent of Government aid for their maintenance. Mr. ADDERLEY said it vtonld have been better if the hon. member had waited till the first vote of supply was before the house whiel had reference to the que.tien. The large grant of money to the m-itrtlpolis was for the country through the metropoli., in providing travelling museums, instractiow, &c. fie was surprised at an Irish member complaining on this bead, for Ireland de rived greater benefits from the grants than the rest of the empire. After a few words from Mr. CONINGUAIf, The subject dropped. SUPPLY—SCHOOLS OF DESIGN The house then went into committ.-e of supply. On the vote of 73,730/. for the department of science and art. Mr. B. HOPE complained of the manner in which onr museum , ' for the promotion of science and art were conducted, and urged that, if the school of design w as to flourish, tho department should be more centrally situated than at South Kensineon. Mr. BLAKE moved that 52 3501. of the vote be dir allowe After clnsiderasle discussion the bon, member wilh drew his amendment, and the vote was not agreed to when The house suspended its sittingp. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. (LEFT SITTING.) THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. Clatheon , tion ior the third reading of this bill, Mr. HANKEY rose to ask the President of the Board of Control what would be the position of the East India Company as a chartered body after this measure should have passed. lie believed the company would still be possessed of the same charter under which they bad al waya acted, and he under,tnotl, alio, that in band ing over the property of she company to the Crown the rights of the proptietcrs of India stock bad been spe &Ally reserved. What he wanted to know was, would the proprietary cintit.ce to have the power of electing a board of directors as they bad hitherto done, and wbat would be their means of obtaining redress, should they require any as a chartered body ? He would suggest that when the bill went to the House of Lords a clause should be introduced putting an end entirely to the charter of the company, and so avoiding all these diffi cult questions vthich might otherwise arise in future. It was not desirable that a great association like the Ea't India Company should drag on a nominal existence without any real power or vitality. Sir E. PERRY could not allow the bill to pass with out raying a few words upon it. The first three clauses contained a principle of such importance, and one preg nant with so much probable future advantage to India, that they bad justly received the support of those who rat i,,ln o bad tet v h i e which the e wn L ib i tak e n d er e a fthe partyplace h u a un d s et voted :h e Ib bill i v i ziwithn her ne el 2 di Govern ment. Such had not been the case, however, with regard to the constitu'ion of the council. The President of the bukon of w fi l e Board of Control was entitled to every credit for the candour and ability be had displayed, but be had fore- • gone the noblest opportunity ever i ffered to so young a statesman since tae days of Pitt for coupling his name with an important measure of legislation. The - noble lord had undervalued the influence he possessed in that house, as wed as in the country at large, in failing to carry out what were, no doubt, his own deliberate • opinions. (Hear, hear.) The Council of India should consist of the ablest and most experienced men who could be found, but what the noble 1 rd proposed in his bill was nothing more than a refacwiamento of the old Court of Directors. We were not able to form a very I good government for India, nor was India able to go vern herself; but it was our duty to do the best we could and he regretted that the noble lord bad not surrounded himself with a more competent body of advisers. His firm persuasion was that the bill would not last more than four or five years. It was singular that it did not contain a single allusion to the native interests of India, which he thought was an omission great'y to be deplored as in every previous act the people of India bad been as { cured that their religion would not be disturbed. Mr. GREGSON enforced the prayer of a petition which he presented some time ago from Singapore, to the effect that that settlement should be placed in im mediate connection with the hone Government of India, and expressed the hope that during the recees the Presi• dent of the Dowd of Control would consider the point. He regarded it as a great advantage that the noble lord would be-the first Indian Minister, inasmuch as he bad visited the country and seen the natives, sad possessed other advantages which no other man enjoyed. lie trusted the noble lord would do everything in hia power to promote commerce, civiiisatiou, and Christianity in India. lie was glad to think that the noble lord, who knew something of India, would preside over this new h in (e fin h i ee t g o prospectsv tn e n o t f with a the bot desire physicallyi a r a o n v d e s t o l;e i a no n ti(oprati (near.) to l o ) ;:j r . d c t P t A :. ‘ , I' m M a many t pTr i ts O o N f t s h a e id b i t l h l uh 7 ge t e h l i a t t t t hi h i ti b a r i d l ig t f r o g he i t t i : l td ln po e ion t° B a iagn r ey t t a sv i nt s : hao g y l lat o u e ets t i e alat:hnn:ors.)
