AMEN T. HOUSE OF coTdmo,:vs, June 9. (Continued from qr afternoon Edition of yesterday.) EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR REVENUES, BILL. The Marquis of BLAVDPORD moved the second neadine. '' of this Bill. . • • lelr.VtilitLPOLE considered the state of the session would net admit of their going into a discussion upon a measure. of this extensive nature, even if there wan nothing in the provisions calling for particular ob jection. Since the Bill had been introduced he had con sulted the highest authorities in the Church, as well as others who took an interest in the subject, and he was now prepared to say the Government would undertake the consideration of the state of the cathedral bodies and institutions, so as to place them generally on a more satisfactory footing, and to make them more practically useful than they were at' present in regard to spiritual instruction and education. Under those circumstances he hoped the Noble Lord would consent to the order for the second reading, being now read and discharged. The Marquis of BLANDFORD said he had ex pected that the Government would have made some de cleralion with regard to the Bill. Mr. WALPOLE did not think the House ought to pledge the Government to any details,—(gear.) Mr. SLANEY heard the statement of the Secretary for the Home Department with great satisfaction, and he trusted the Noble Lord would accept his cffer and withdraw the Bill. After a few words from Sir B. BRYDGES, Mr. WALPOLE pointed out the four heads of the BID, and said it was the wish of the Government to re lieve an much as possible those who held high offices in the Church from all duties of a worldly and tem poral naturce—(Hear hear.) The spirit in which the Government proposed to proceed was to con sider whether these great cathedral establishments might nog be more fully restored to the high and holy purposes for which they we re originally founded and . endowed, viz., as temples for the daily worship of the • Almighty Being, as seats of learning, as councils to assist . the bishops in several matters relating to their dioceses, and as connecting , l i nks b etween the higher and lower orders of the clergy, so as to brifig the whole body of the Church in perfect harmony.—(Cheers.) That being the general view of the Grovernment, he thought it would be prema ture for the House tee prejudge the question by binding them to any particular details.—(llear.) Lord EBRINGTON was glad to hear that the Go vernment intended to take the whole subject of the Bill into their serious consideration. si r IL H. INGLIS thanked the Secretary for the Home Department for the general view he had given of the in tentions of the Government, and concurred in the de sirableness of not continuing the present discussion now that these was a general opinion in the House that the an ought not to be pressed. Lord R. GROSVENOR also expressed his gratifies time at hearing the decl ara ti on o f t h e Ri g h t Hon. Gen- Mr.siem. J. WILLIAMS hoped, in any measure which might be Proposed, provision would be made to prevent any clergyman being appointed to a bishopric in Wales who was not acquainted with the Welsh language. Sir BENJAMIN HALL considered that unless the management of ecclesiastical property was placed in a Commission, and the salaries of Bishops and other functionaries in the Church, the existing abuses would still be continued. Ho hoped the Govern ment wcultl see there was a disposition and de termination on the part of the laity to insist not only on reforms in the manner in which the ecolosiastisal body performed their duties, but that a full and searching inquiry should be instituted into the temporalities of the Church, not with the view of depriving her real and efficient servants of good and sufficient incomes, bat with the intention of effecting necessary reforms. If the Government did not yield to the voice out of doors, and propose a measure well calculated to remedy abuses in the Church, matters would come to a much more serious pass than was now contemplated. Mr. HORSMAN said, though the Noble Lord would act judiciously in not pressing the Bill, he thought they should have an opportunity to discuss the subject, in order that the Government might know what was the general opinion of the House. It was impossible to delay the question, for the ecclesiastical systeta was ap lerotteeing a crisis, and if the Government shrunk from the danger and tried to remedy the abuses the time for re form would soon pass away. Public opinion was already matured and explicit as to the condition of the cathedral establishments, as to the management of eeiseopel and capituiar estates, and as to the present condition of the episcopate. A fixed income for bishops was infinitely preferable to the existing system of payment; and as the geeen had given up her estates in return for an annual vote, and as judges and other public function aries were paid by a fixed salary, he saw no reason why the episcopal body should object to receive their incomes from the Crown or a Royal Commission. Ecclesiastical law was the exception to the reform which had taken place in all other branches of the law, and that because it had been lel in the hands of the Bishops themeelves, who bad proved that they were ill adapted for that duty. The principle of reform of existing abuses most meet with the general concurrence of the Howie, and the abuses existing in the ecclesiastical law meet be reformed in spite of the dignitaries of the Church. Mr. OSWALD was of opinion that no reform real* beneficial to the Church of England could fake place without the concurrence of that Church itself. By the Constitution of this country, the Church of England had had a corporate body cf its own members to regulate its own affeire, and it was the duty at the Ilonse to provide for the efficiency of that body, but, at the same time, no good end would be attained by Pnrliementary Committees attempting to regulate the eeiirs of the Church. Is should ha remembered that the Ohurch of Eaeland was only a part of the greet Angli can Church, Tad that in all other parts of the world where that system obtained, representative assemblies, duly consaitated, existed, and this materially prevented what in England was frequently called priestcraft. It was his strong °pillion thst this House had no right to interfere with the internal affaire of the Church of Eng- Is,ni.. Af.r. S. HERBER,T thought the Noble Lord would do well to frankly accept tho proposal of the Government. The conciliatory tone and moderation of view of the Secretary for the Rome Department convinced him there was no man in w h ose h an d s they m i g ht better trust this important question for adjudication.—(Gear.) But the subject w as o b v i ously beset by very great diffi culties, and if the G overnment attempte d to d ea l with .it they must exeroise very great forbearance. The questions to be considered were, the extension of the epiecopate, the diminution in the number of chapters, the abolition of the office of dean, and likewise the restitution to the chapters of the especial duties which they were originally intended to perform. He was not one who thought the proposed increase of the episcopate • was ton large, but there was a strong objection in that House to augment the number of Bishops in the House ore Lords, and most of the modes suggested for carrying - out the increase were open to objections. In regard to the payment of Bishops, he thought the system, as it how steed, was most objectionable, for in fact they were merely land agues to the Ecclesiastical Commission over send .estates, from which th e y d er i ve d no benefit be ' el the fixed income of their sees, and the quantity of 8:4111 busineile imposed upon them could hue no other t than to isolate them from the other ranks of the clergy , tute As to the request that no one should be insti to % benefice in Wales except he under stood the Walsh he thought that more likeky to interf ere lan g u age , ifv ast ei with the vested rights of patrons. - But still le.wyer-like spirit it interests were . considered in a too .e cclessical reform. would considerably interfere with The Marqui s o€ , ELANDFORD noticed briefly some I of the paint ) urged i n the course of th e discussion, and re peated the explanation, as to the object and scope of the Bill, which he had g" . 3 . wen on a former occas i on, ob- serv ing that , in order to maintain the unity of the Churelle, he had thought it I lene . . ssary to preserve its epis copal cheroot . , er• He faded by intimating that, in t h consequence of waa ad . fallen from the Government, he would withdraw the Bit *The order of the day was then reed and discharged. lAMAGEMENT CLAUSES OP T COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION' Sr R.

GROSVENOR for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr- PALE moved that the House go into Committee on this Bill this day six months. He denied that the • excuse, that bribery was practised on the second day of county elections, was a true one. There were in England and Wales 79 comity elections, and as at a genera l elec tion they would a ll take place within a few days of each other the effect of this Bill would be to disfranchise a great nunaber of county electors, which it was w hispered that Bill web intended to do b y a side-wind. The N o bl e Lord had given notice that it wee his intention to enlarge the time from four to six o'clock; but ho would self., • wouid ih, not often happen that the poll would be taken for a couple of hours in the dark, and he need not Print out the abuses to which this practice would lead. Tho Right Ron. Baronet the Member for Ripon had, on a former occasion, voted against a measure of this sort, as indeed had the Hon. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire (Mr. Denison), whose name be was now sierprised to see at the back of the Bill. He saw, too, twat the name of the Hon. Member for Manoheater '(Mr. Bright) was at the back of this Bill ; and he, too, when Member for Durham, had spoken against the oppoeed thia Bill in a former sersion. If sue, Noble Lord would consent to bring up zettwauortato enable non-resident voters to vote hy proxy, 7.ton have no objection to support the 13il!.

Mr. WALPOLE said he thought th is question most materially affecterithe county Members, and it would be Letter to leave it to them, rather than to le up as Gov ernment question. He should not, th take it erefor - be f:liBP"ed to oPPose going into Committee, but b e e m , /Ist After a few words from Mr. P. MILES and Mr. OSWALD, who supported the Bill, the House divided, when there appeared— For going into Committee ... 166 Against it ... . . . . ... 82 Majority ... .. ... —B4 The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On clause 1, Mr. HENLEY asked when the Noble Lord intended that this Bill should come into operation? Lord R. GROSVENOR said he intended it should come into operation at once. He was sorry that it had been made a party question, because he had not at all brought it forward in that light, but merely to remedy an acknowledged abuse in the present system of taking county polls. Ho thought he was perfectly jus tified in bringing in the present Bill by the scenes of drunkenness which he had witnessed on the second day of poll. lie proposed to extend the time of polling until six o'clock in the evening from four, and to provide additional polling booths, so as to give one booth for every 300 electors, instead of 450, by which means ho thought ho should be able to get over the objections which had been raised as to bringing up the electors in too largo numbers to be polled within one day. Ho was anxious to pass the Bill new, because several contested elections were about to take place, where an unfortunate effervescence and excitement might bo ex , . petted, and he believed if the Bill passed the evil might be got rid of. Mr. B. DENISON supported the clause, the operation of which he dig not believe would deprive city electors of the right of voting as they now did. Experience peoved that an election for a county was virtually decided on the first day. In fact, the first day's election had never been overturned on the fallowing day except is one instance, and he uLkad whether it was judicious to keep the popu lation in suspense for twente-four hours, and to increase ' the expenses;only for a small additional number of votes? The same objections tehich g ore urged against the Bill were made to the proposal for limiting the election for boroughs from two days to one, and there was scarcely , any man who would not admit that alteration had been preductive of great benefit.—(Hear.) Mr. HENLEY thought in the case o f a r i o t voters might be prevented givi ng their votes, and if the poll was confined to one day, they would not have the oppor tunity, which they possessed now, of availing them selves of the second day, when steps might be taken to keep the booths free from disturbance. 1 EX TRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF MR. F. O'CONNOR. A brief discussion ensued on the clause, but it was suddenly interrupt e d b y l ou d cr i es o f " Oder." Mr. B. DENESON hero rose in an agitated state, and said he felt compelled to appeal to the chair in conse quence of the con d uc t o f an Honoura bl e M em b er , who had just s t ruc k hi m a violent blow in the face with his hand. (Mr. :Connor was sitting next to Mr. B. Deni son on the front bench on the Opposition side.) He would take that opportunity of stating that ho had experienced considerable inconvenience from the conduct of that Gentleman, and he had seen other Members experience similar inconvenience. They had hitherto treated him with the greatest good will and forbearance, but there was a point beyond which it would be unworthy of them to submit to such con duct.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He regretted beyond anything that he h a pp ened to be the unfortunate person who felt called on to make these observations, but _ believed he spoke the sentiments of th e House. Mr. BERNAL, the Chairman, said, what he had power to do was to report to the House when sitting the conduct of any Member. Therefore, if the Committee wished him to report the conduct of the Honourable Gentleman who had been referred to it must instruct him accordingly. Mr. WALPOLE said, after what took place last night, he thought the House had reason to expect that the inter ruptions which had occurred lately in the House should not be repeated again. The Hon. Member had acted in a disrespectful manner, not only to the Hon. Member (Mr. Denison) but also to the Chairman, and had inter rupted the proceedings of the House, and he thought it right that an apology should be made by him—(Cries of " Oh" and ",No")—then either that an apology should be made or that they should instantly re port what had taken place, for the purpose of main taining order. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he accidentally observed the conduct of the Hon. Member, and he had no hesita tion in expressing it as his opinion, however painful it might be to do so, that it was indispensably necessary, not only for the dignity of their proceedings, but really for the conduct of public business, that this matter ought not to be allowed to rest. Therefore he hoped the House would have no hesitation in complying with the proposal of his Right Hon. Friend that they should suspend the Proceedings of the Committee in order to report to the highest authority in the House the occurrence which had, i just taken place.—(Hear.) He would move that the im mediately Chairman report progress and ask leave to sit again. The motion was put and carried, and the Speaker appeared in his place. • Nt r- BERNAL, addressing the Speaker, said—l am should ta" illiattLuecuteod to report that the conduct of an Hon.

DIPE al TA E SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE lO, 1852, warn the Noble Lord of the difficulties which he would have to encounter, in taking ore that this Bill be in a proper working conditi on f or i l ia ne xt election. At present the pulliug place s would were fixed by statute, and it aeis impussiole to alter th em , exce pt first by appli cation to cliarter-sessions, and ' thence from quarter-sessione to the Queen in Council, who could then make the alte ra ti ons praye d. Now we were in the month of June at present, andit was extremely improbable that there would be any possibility of inaitmg the application to any quarter-sessions before the coming election; and, th ere f ore , t h e a lt er ations in the pollin g. places which wo u ld b e necess ary if this Bill passed into law could not possibly be made. Mr. B. DENISON said that he certainly had at One time expressed an opinion against a measure of this sort, bat experience had taught him that such alterations might be safely made. He was quite prepared to go into all the argument against the Bill, but h e wou ld content himself now with stating to the House that he held in his hand letters from the u 11hr-sheriff an d f rom the clerk of the peace for Yorkshire, stating that th ere would not be the slightest difficulty in taking the poll in one day.—(Hear t hear.) Mr. HENLEY said he thought the working of thi s Bill would depend to a considerale extent on the cir cumstances of the different counties. He thought that there would in many country districts be A great difficulty in getting carriages fur the transport of the electors. He did not see that there was any machinery provided in this Bill to bring it properly into operation before the next election, and unless the Noble Lord could explain how he meant to make this Bill a practicable one he should certainly. be inclined to oppose proceedin g f ur th er with this Bill. With regard to the question of expen s e ho did not think it was likely there would be so much saving as would make that argument of any great weight. Mr. CARTER supported the Bill. Mr. FELLO WES thought the Bill went to create a New &form Bill, and to deprive electors of the fran chise which had been given to them by the Reform Bill. Mr. DEE DES supported tho Bill. Colonel SIBTHORP said he happened to have votes for seven counties, and even with the assistance of rail roads—of which he was not very fond—he could not, if this Bill passed, exercise his paramount duty in more than one of these counties at a general election. He should certainly give his cordial opposition to this Bill. After a few words from Mr. W. Bitowie and Mr. Locxa KING, whet supported the Bill, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Noble Lord had not satisfied him that there was any immediate ne cessity for this measure at the present moment. He was not prepared to say that county polls could not be taken in one day, and if there were time to prepare proper machinery he should certainly not oppose going into Committee. He thought, however, that it would Cause great inconvenience to adopt this Bill at the pre sent moment, and the better course would be to defer the consideration of it to some time when they could have fuller information. Mr. COBDEN had heard the remarks which had fallen from both sides of the Etouse. He did not think that much weight could be attached to the argument of the Honourable and Gallant Member for Lincoln that, because he could not vote in seven places, therefore the county polls all over the kingdom ought to be taken in two counties. Neither was there much weight in the argument that there would be great diffi culty in bringing up voters to the poll in a scattered popu lation, because it was proceeding on the argument that voters despised the privilege which they possessed, and were unwilling to take any trouble to exercise it. He hoped the Heine would go into Committee on the Bill. Sir B. BRYDGES opposed the Bill, because he thought its effect would be to deprive many persons of the votes for the county which they now possessed. In his own county ther e was one t own conta i n i ng a population of 20,000, every one of whom who happened to possess a county .vote would have to travel sixteen miles to give it. Mr. BOUVERIE thought the objections which had been urged against the Bill might be got over by allow ing it to go into Committee, and then bringing up a clause to prevent its coming into operation until nex year. Mr. r. DUNCO&IBE consickred he was partly re spc:Jsible fur the attack on the Hon. Member. The Hon, Member for Sottirlgh a m wt.s sitting next to him (Mr. Daneomb,), and after talking a great deal of nonsense, that Lou. Memb er gave bim very' serious blow on She side, and he told him it he did not beltave better be would get into a very serious scrape, and in all probability bo scut up, on which he laughed, and immediately turned round to the Hon. Member for the West Riding, and struck him in the face. It was really a very difficult problem to solve whether, after the warning given to him, he could be considered a free agent. He should say he was not. Mr. HILDYARD concurred in thinking that it would be a perfect farce to ask the Hon. Member for an apo logy, when perhaps before he left his seat he would renew his outrages. He suggested he should be com mitted for contempt. _ _ The SPEAKEit said it was perfectly competent for the House to deal with the Hon. Member as it pleased, and it the House thought the act was of such maguitulo as to admit of no apology, it could, withoat ordering him to appear in his place, direct that he be committed into the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. ANSTEY suggested that the best way was to disqualify him as a Member of the House. Mr. AGLIONBY thought the Hon. Member was suffering from an aberration of intellect, and was not answerable for his conduct. He was a subject more fit to be placed under the care of medical men than in the custody of the Sergeant -at-Arms. Admiral DUNDAS was clearly of opinion that ho knew enough to be answerable for what he was doing. After sumo further discussion, Mr. WALPOLE moved that the Hon. Member for Nottingham no committed into the custody of the Ser geant•at-Arms for disorderly conduct, and contempt of the House. This motion was then put and carried without the slightest dissent, the original motion being withdrawn. Directions were then given to the Sergeant -at-Arms to take the Hon. Member into custody. (During the discussion Mr. F. O'Connor got off his seat and walked across the floor once or twice, and also left the House and returned to his seat, but when he saw the probable nature of the motion that would be passed he slunk away, and we believe was arrested in West minster Hall.) The House then resumed, and clause 1 was agreed to. Oa clause 2, Mr. P. MILES moved the insertion of words to fix the time for the Bill coming into operation on the Ist January, 1853. Lord - R. GROSVENOR opposed the amendment, and the Committee divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment 91 Against ... ... 134 Majority ... ..-43 The amendment was consequently lot. Clause 2 was agreed to. Lord R. GROSVENOR then brought up a clause to enable. Cie high sheriff to make such provision in the polling booths that not more than 300 electors shall poll at the, same compartment instead of 450, as is th© rule at present. Mr. B. DENISON opposed the clause as being en tirely unnecessary, and tending to increase the expense of county elections. Mr. HENLEY also opposed the clause. Colonel SIBTHORP said he supported the clause simply for the reason that it did cause additional ex pense, and he would ba very glad to saddle the candi dates with any expense he could. After a short discussion the clause was withdrawn. Mr. ELLIOT gave notice that, on the third reading, he should move that Scotland be included in the Bill. Mr. BAILLIE said that, under those circumstances, he should move to except Inverness, _ _ Mr. MONSELL also gave notice that he should move :o include Ireland in the Bill. Reeves, A.

The House resumed, and the Chairman reported pro gress. COUNTY COURT FURTHER EXTENSION BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, commencing with the 25th clause, which empowers the Lord Chancellor to give retiring pensions to County Court Judges. as an amend men t, th e fol lowing STANFORD n r e. wordsi"P m rovi o d v e ed d;hat su c h j u d ge, at t h e t i me of su ch resignation, shall have served the office of judge for a period not less than 15 years." The clause, as it now stood, was contrary to all precedent, no pensions being given to any of the judges unless they had been in office 15 years, or were afflicted with some permanent infirmity. Mr. FITZROY opposed the amendment, which would limit the pension to 15 years' service without reference to cases of permanent infirmity. Mr. WALPOLE said, the effect of the amendment would be, that no person, whatever might be his in firmity, would obtain a pension unless previously to that infirmity he had been 15 years in office. After some conversation, the amendment was with drawn, and the clause was agreed to with an alteration, providing for a reference iu cases of pensions to the Commissioners of the Treasury. Clause 26 (the list in the Bill) was also agreed to. Mr. HEADLAIII moved a clause regulating the man ner in which warrants of execution against goods and chattels out of the jurisdiction of a court should be put in force. The clause was added to the Bill. On the motion of Mr. MULLINGS, the following clause was added to the Bill:—" That after the passing of this Act no judge of the said County Courts shall practise at th© bar, or as a special pleader, or equity draughtsman, or be directly or indirectly concerned as a eons - op:lacer, notary-public, solicitor, attorney, or proctor." The 'louse resumed. The Fri , 3ndly Societies Bill passed through Committee pro forma' , on the motion of Mr. SOTHERON. On the motiun of Mr. R. PALMER the Disabilities Repeal 13i11 was read a second time. MAYNOOTII COLLEGE—(ADJOURNED DEBATE). The resumption of tho debate was fired for Monday. Mr. ANSTEY inquired if there was any chance of it coming on? Mr. SPOONER, said it depended on the Hon. Mem ber as Lunch as anybody else. Mr. ANSTEY—That could not be the caw, as he had already spoken on the question, and would have nothing more to do with the debate. It being now Six o'clock, tho House adjourned un , Twelve to-morrow. MR. F. O'CONNOR. On the motion being put from the Chair that the Member for Nottingham be committed to the custody of the •Sergeant•at-Arms, Mr. Feargus O'Connor im mediately left the House with great precipitation, no doubt with the intention of making his es ca p e before the question could be carried. He was, however, closely followed by the Sergeant -at-Arm s and the officers of the House, and despite the small start he had gained, he was arrested before he got out of liVeatmiuster Hall. The Hon. Gentleman was imme d. iately committed to durance vile, where he now re ma i ns in charge of ono of the messengers of the House. THE LONDON GAZETTE, June 8. DIVIDENDS.

Captain Charles Talbot (1830) has been appointed to the Meander, 44, as commodore of the second class and Commander-in-Chief of the Cape of Good Hope station, vice Wy vill, in the Castor, 36, whose term of service has expired. Commodore Talbot has served 18 years afloat. He was born Nov. 1, 1801; is second son of the Very Rev. Charles Talbot, D.D., Doan of Sarum (grandson of 'Charles, first Lord Talbot, Lord High Chancellor of England), by Lady Elizabeth Somerst, daughter of Henry, fifth Duke of Beaufort, and grand daughter of Admiral Hon. Edward Boscawen. He en • tered the Royal Naval College August 19, 1851, and embarked Dec. 7, 1817, us a volunteer on board the Pro metheus sloop; was nominated Oct. 17, 1822, acting lieutenant of the Dispatch, 18, Captain William Clarke Jervoise. His promotion being confirmed on the 7th Jan, ' 1832, he was next appointed to the Euryalus; 42, and Rainbow, 28, and attained, April 30, 1827, the rank of commander. Towards the close of May, 1829, Captain Talbot commissioned the Helicon, 10, but that vessel being found defective, he was transferred to the Algorine brig. As a reward for the activity he had dis played in the performance of a detached service in South America, he was, Nov. 25,- 1830, promoted by the late Sir Thomas Baker, Cernmander. in -Chief, into his own flag-ship, the Warspite, 76. On the night of April 6, 1831, ao insurrection having broken cut at Rio de Ja neiro, he had the fortune to rescue and bring off- from the Palace of San Christavao their Imperial Majesties, also her Majesty Donna Maria of Portugal, and suite, and the Marquis and Marchioness of Loul4S-a service which Don Pedro 11. subsequently acknowledged by pre senting him with the decoration of the Brazilian order of Cruzero. His next appointment was to the Vestal, 26, in which vessel he continued from Nov. 2, 1843, until paid off; in July, 1847. Oa August 18, 1845, being off the northern end of Borneo, Captain Talbot was in- Wasted by Sir Thomas John Cochrane with the command of the Maluda enterprise, when the loss they sustained was great, extending to no less than six men killed and fifteen wounded. It is scarcely necessary to add that the distinguished gallantry and good conduct exhibited on the occasion by Captain Talbot and his brave com panions had the effect of drawing from the Admiralty an expression of its great admiration and satisfaction. Captain Talbot married, Dec. 11, 1838, Charlotte Georgians, widow of Lieut.-Colonel Stapleton, and daughter of the late Major-General the Hon. Sir Wm. Pousonby, K.C.8., by whom he has issue a son and two daughters. Commander Henry Phelps (1849), who was lucky enough to get appointed to the command of the Ferret, 8, at Davenport, for coast of Africa service, has been still more fortunate in obtaining the appointment of com mander in the Sanspareil, under that highly-favoured officer, Captain Dacres. Commander John A. L. Wharton (1848) has been appointed a mail agent in a Cape of Good Hope screw steamer. MALTA, JUNE 2.-On Saturday last the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, with the outward India mail on board, arrived in port, having performed her voyage in days; she - continued her route to Alexan dria on the afternoon of thatadey, the Banshee, with the portion of the India mail sent through France, having arrived, and performed her trip in 50 . hours, 22 minutes, from the moment the order at Marseilles " Go a head" was given, till " Ease her" in the harbour of Valetta. On board the Bowie& was Lieutenant-General Fergus son, appointed to the command of the troops, vice Lieu tenant-General Ellice, who has resigned, and who will leave us by the Bentinck on her return from Alexandria. General Fergusson landed early, having declined all the horrours intended for him, and proceeded to the house lately occupied by General Ellice, and which he had vacated for Morell's Hotel. Captain Pocklington, the Military Secretary of the new General, and Captains Denison and Whitmore, as Aides-de-Camp, also arrived. Yesterday the General assumed the command of the troops at 8 A.m., and received a relate from Fort hit. Angelo. The Fury is still in port, as are the Indefatigable and Terrible; bat it is thought they will immediately pro ceed to join the Admiral, who, by the last advices, was at Port Mahon. Extract of a letter from Port Mahon, May 18:- " You'are aware we lift Malta on the 24th, and on the 28th were joined by the Fury. On the 30th the Tra falgar, having carried away the elings of her mainyard, we anchored off Port Farina (Tun!),- until the follow ing morning, when we again got under weigh, the ren dezvous being Cape do Gate On the 4th of May we had a heavy squall, accompanied with thunder, light ning, and hail. On the loth we c,Anmunicatcd with the English brig Queen of the Tyne, from Newcastle, bound to Tunis, from which vessel we received information that she had seen a squadron of five sail eff Cape.de Gatt, and that on the 7th she had passed a steamer.

" Oa the 11th spoke the English schooner Gwaine Maid, from Girgengi, 11 days, having, while reefing topgallant sails, lost her foretopmast, and two men over board, in consequence of which wo supplied her with a spar to replace her topmast. I have forgotten to men tion she belonga to Fishguard, and that we spoke her in let, 38 deg, 28 min. N., long. 2 deg. 40 min. E. We hate h a d t h e usual exercise at quarters, reefing and furling sails, &e., of which it is useless to give au ecetiunt, sometimes one ship being first, sometimes an other. We anchored in Port Mahon on the 15th, where we found the Antelope. The Firebrand has had to do all the work in towing, the Fury having had her ma chinery out of order three times during he cruise, being r twice taken in tow by the Firebrand and once by di', Bellerophon. On coming into Mahon, the Fire brand sowed the Brit-main, Trafalgar, and Bel lerophon. The Antelope rendered similar friendly services to the Phaeton, Albion, and Vengeance. The Terrible arrived on Sunday morning from Cape de Gatt, bringing dispatches from the Admiralty, in cense. quence of which the Fury was dispatched to Mar seilles the same evening; and yesterday morning (Monday) the 'terrible and Indefatigable were sent to Malta, on their way to Alexandria.

(11 A thousand deaths were registered in the metropolis in the week that ended last Saturday, showing an im portant increase on the previous week, in which the Od number was only 883. In connexion with this result ; it will be remarked that the mean weekly tempera as() X tare fell from 52.7 d eg . an d 55'6 d eg . i n t h e secon d 2 13 and third week of May to 50•8 deg. in the fourth, while 55 last week it was 52.5 deg., having been during the last 4 4 % fortnight about 6 d egrees b e l ow the average, to w hi c h atmospheric change the increase of mortality is probably to be attributed. In the four weeks now mentioned the rain that fell amounted to 2.21 in., though in the pre vious twelve weeks the entire amount was less than one I ce . inch. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week in the years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 877, 34 which, if raised in proportion to the increase of popula tion, becomes 965; the present number therefore ex hibits an excess of 35 above the estimated amount. 54 A comparison of facts in the last two returns shows an increase in some epidemic complaints—namely, measles, which rose from 16 deaths in the preceding week to 23 in the last, diarrheas which rose from 13 to 20, typhus, &c in which the n um b ers were respect i ve ly 38 to 49, whilst scarlatina increased from 41 to 63. ce. Pnemonia also rose fro m 46 to 58, whilst the mortality of bronchitis was stationary. Phthisis suddenly became more fatal, rising from 119 to 150 cases. Last week the deaths of 4 children and 3 adults were registered as caused by syphilitic disease. In the present return the number of cases in which 1 , 6 small pox was fatal amounts to 40; those of 32 children ' 4 and 8 persons of 15 years of age and upwards. Five of the sufferers are reported to have been previously - vaccinated; their ages were 6 months, and 5, 15, 16, and 35 years. Two deaths were registered in the Small pox Hospital ; of these the following are the parti e. cubit's : On 31st May a labourer, aged 32 years, from Brook -1655,34 flu o en n t, 3 u d ns u r n o t o e c a t e f d e m ( a l 1 5 e , d days)." 83 Brook green-terrace, Hammer sm i t h , di ed of " small-pox, con -83 13 years, from James's -37• gardens, Clerkenwell, " small-pox, _ confluent, unmodi -60 tied (16 days)." Vacci na t e d in London when sr.:yen years old, but the operation took badly and left no cicatrix. _, Mr. Watts, the Registrar, states that "this hospital is still full, having had during the past week eighty patients occupying beds. But at the Fever Hospital only one death has occurred since the 18th tilt., and the number of patients had decreased to ninety-two." At 5, Hope-place, Islington, the son of a drover, aged 13 years, died of "small-pox, confluent (16 days), not vaccinated." The pc.rents entertained an objection to vaccination. In the east ib-distriet of Islington three children died of small-pox, none of whom 'l4 bad been vaccinated, a cireumstanco which Mr. But terfield ascribes in two cases to " ignorance," and in one to "prejudice" of parents. .At 5, Amelia niece, Aldgate, on 3d June, the son of a tailor, aged 5 years, died of small-pox; he had not been vacei rated. Mr. Spence'r adds that two other children who had been vaccinated have escaped. The place is "close , nd unhealthy." Iti tho . south sub-district of West London, at 6, Union-court, St. Andrew's, on 30th in the family, and neither Aray, the daughter of a labourer, aged 5 years, died of " small-pox (12 days)." Mr. Nason remarks that "small-pox, confluent antdhiteewrd'ice vaccinated. In Lam• " this is the second death in one family, the fits having occurred on the 27th May. The deceased were the only two children of them had been vaccinated."

The landlord has been spoken to; be came, took up a brick or two, very partially cleansed it, but leaving it open, the nuisance is now worse than before. I have written a note to the constable, asking him to interfere." Two sons of a car penter died at 23, Walnut tree-pace, Lambeth, o f" scar latina" and " scarlatina maligns "on the 26th and 27th of May respectively. In the subdistrict of All Souls, Marylebono, at 14, Castle-street East, a boy, aged two years, died on the 29th May, of "mesenteric disease." Mr. Wallington makei the following observations:--" Many months ago I reported the unhealthy condition of this house. I am informed that it is still in the same state. The drainage and ventilation are very defective. There are three adults now under medical treatment for diseases, probably induced by these circumstances. A family sleep in tho kitchen which is damp and low. All the medical men who visit patients at th . • is house are of one opinion as to its state of disgraceful unhealthiness." At 54, Hoxton-square, the two daughters of a coach maker, aged one year and four years, died of "pneu monia," one aft e r 7 d ays ' , t h e ot h er after 6 weeks' ill ness. " This house (says Mr. Pearce) is badly drained, and adjoining is a court with several houses ill venti lated, very badly drained, and densely populated." Last week a man, aged 69 years, died from "stroke of the sun (20 years ago), tic doulouroux, general de cay." A man, aged 70 years, died of " epistaxis (pos teriorly) at intervals (3 weeks), suddenly from suffoca tion; paralysis (3 days)."
