IMPJRIAL PARLIAMENT. • ROUSE OF COMMONS, June 9. i cPtitittnitd from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) SCOPAL AND CAPITULAR REVENUES, Sec. BILL. The Maranis of BLANDFORD moved the second wading of this Bill. Mr. - WALPOLE considered the state of the session teould not admit of their going into a discussion upon a measure of this extensive nature, even if there was nothing is the provisions calling for Particular ob jection. .Since tho 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 esansideration 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 ho hoped. the Noble Lord would consent to the order for the sec'ond rending. being now read and discharged. Tlve Marquis of BLEII 4 MFORD said he had ex peef ed that the Government would have made some de cheration with regard to the Bill. Mr. WALPOLE, did not think the House ought to epledge the Government to any details,—(llear.) Mr. SLANEY heard the statement of the e;ccretary for :the Ileum Department with great satisfaction, and he trusted the Noble Lord would accept his offer aad withdraw the Bill. After a few words from Sir B. BRYDGES, Mr. WALPOLE pointed cu; the four heads of the Bill, and said it was the wish of the Government to re lieve as much as possible those who held high offices in the Church from all duties of a worldly and tem poral nature.—(Heer, hear.) The spirit in which the. Government proposed to proceed was to con sider whether these groat cathedral establishments trielit not be more fully restored to the high and holy egrposes far which they were originally founded and endpwed, viz., as temples for the daily worship of the Almighty Being, es seats of learning, as councils to assist the bishops in several matters relating to their dioceses, and as connecting links betwe n the higher and lowerorclere of the clerey, so as to bring the whole body of the Church in perfect harmony.—(Cile"6.) That being the general view of the Government, e thought it wo u ld be prema ture for the House to prejudge the question by binding them to any particular details.—(l.lean) Lord EBRINGTON was glad to hear that the Go vernment intended to take the whole subject of the Bill into their serious consideration. sic B. 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 thae thine was a general opinion in the House that the DM ought not to be pressed. Lord B. GROSVENOR also expressed his gratifica tion at hearing the declaration of the Right Hon. Gen tleman. Mr. 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 cot 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. He hoped the Govern ment would see there was a disposition and de terreenation on the part of the laity to insist not only on reforms in the manner in which the ecelesis.stiaal body performed their duties, but that a full and searching inquiry should be instituted into the temporalities of the Church, not with the viow of depriving her real and efficient servants of good and sufficient incomes, but with the intention of effecting necessary reforms. If the Government did not yield to the voice out of doors, and propose a measure Zvell halculated to remedy abases in the Church, matters would come to a much more serious pass than was now contemplated. Mr. HORSMAN said, though the Noble Lord would Set judiciously in not pressing the Bill, he thought they siroajd 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 detley the question, for the ecclesiastical system was ap presoaking a crisis, and if the Government shrunk from the clanger and tried to remedy the abuses the time for re form would soon pass away. Public opinion was already metered and explicit as to the condition of the cathedral establishments, as to the management of eviscoeal and capitular 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 4ersn had given up her estates in return fur an entreat vote, end as judges and other public function aries were paid by a fixed salary, he saw no reason why the episcoieal body should object to receive their incomes, from the Crown or a Royal Commission. Eeclesiaeeical law was "he exception to the reform which had taken place in all other branches of the Jaw, and that bte.seee it had been left in the hands of the Bishops themselves, who had proved that they were ill adapted for that duty. The principle of reform of existing ah'asea meat meet with the general concurrence of the Rouse, and the abuses existing in the ecclesiastical law "must be retformed in spite of the dignitaries of the Church. Mr. OSWALD was of opinion that no reform real* beneficial to the Church of England could take place without the concurrence of that Church itself. By the Constitution of this country, the Church of England had had a corporate body of its own members to regulate its own affairs, and it was the duty of the H ouse to prov id e far the edcieney of that body, but, at the same time, no good end would he attained by Parliamentary Committees attempting to regulate the atfairs of the Church. I; should be remembered that the Ohrirch of Euglanci was only a part of the great eengfi ceta Church, uud that in all other parts or the world where that system obtained. representaavo ugly conitirutiql, existed, and this materially prevented white in England was frequently called priestcrail. It was his strong opinion that this Howe had no right to interfere with the eaternui affairs of the Church of Bug land.: Mr. S. 111,313E13,T thought the Noble Lord would do well to frankly accept the proposal of the Government. The eenciliatory tone and moderation of vie? , of the Secretary tor the Hom e D e p ar t ment conv i nce d him them was no man in whose hands they might better trust-this important question for adjudication.—(Hear.) Due the butlject was obvio us ly b eset b y ver y great Cite ce.lities, and if the Government attempted to deal with_ it they must ex erc i se very great forbearance . _T he questions to be cons id ere d were, t h e extensi on of the piscopate * the direinmion in the number of chapters, the abolition of th e o ffi ce o f d ean , an d likewise the restitution to the chapters of the especial duties which they were originally intended to perform. Ha was not one who thought the proposed increase of the episcopate was too large, but there was a strong objection in that Hones to augment the number of Bishops in the House of Linde, and most of the modes suggested for carrying out the increase were open to objections. • In regard to the pesymerat of Bishops, he thought the system, as it n ow stood, was most objectionable, for in fact they were i rus ?:ely land agents to the Ecclesiastical Commission ever 41-Intestetes, from which they derived no benefit be and the fixed income of their sees, and the quantity of rju ' uil at business imposed upon them could have no other effect thee to isolate th em f rom th e ot h er ran k s o f th e cute d rgY• to As to the request th a t no one s h ou ld b e insti stood the a vir_ b i e , ned , ce in Wales except he under 'l,4ll Language, he thought that more likely to —;"terfete with the vested rights of patrons.

GROSVENOR for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. PA.CtiE moved that the House go into Committee on this Bill this day six months. Ho denied that the excuse, that bribery was practis e d on the second day of county elections, was a true one. There were in E ng l an d and. Wales 79 Comity election a end as at a general eke: then they would all t a k e place within a few days of each ocher the effect of thi s Bi ll would be to disfranch i se a g whispered that nuMber of el ectors, which it was ispered that Bill was intended to do by a side-wind. The Noble Lord had given notice that it was his intention to enlarge the time from four to six o'clock; but he would ask, would it not often happen that the poll would bo taken for a couple of hours in the dark, and he need not point. out the suites to which this practice would lead. The, Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon had, on a fertner occasion, voted against a measure of this sort, at, indeed had the Hon. Member for th© West Riding c,f Yorkshire (Hr. Denison), ; whose name he was now liesprised to see at the back of the Bill. He saw, too, that the name of the lion. Member for Manchester (Mr. Bright) VI:A at the back of this Bill ; and he, too, when Aleenizier for Durhain, had spoken against opeosed - thi s Bill a former totem,,, If ib 3 Noble Lard would consent to grin o °aba g up ft e neble non-rfisi , :unt vo t ers to vote by pro xy , 7ses veoteeT hav© no objeriti to support the Bill. As it stoe, however, he s hould ' move that the House ao into Cor smittse on the Bthis day six months. 7 .,ar. IL BAILLIE was Proceeding to ii:sy that as the Cr ualy which he represented (Inverness-shire) was pe e -,lirly ciroutbstaticed, he hopes if he made out a case 'see ehould drain the assent of the Noble Lord to exempt that county from the Bill, when, being informed that the Bill did not extend to Sc o tl and, he gave way to Mr. ALCOCIC, who said that eince the increased Means of locomotion ho thought there would he no diffi in counties in one day. calty whatever in taking the pulls Mr. WALPOL said he thought this queation most materially affected the county Members, and it would be better to leave it to theta, rather than to take it up as a Government question. He should not, therefore, be disposed to oppose going in t o Committee, bid he re, must warn the Noble Lord of the difficulties which he would have to encounter, in taking care that this Bill would be in a proper working condition for the next election. At present the polling places were fixed by statute, and it was impossible to alter them, except first ba appli cation to qaarter-sessions, and thence trom qu^ •rter-s• sj.en, to the Q ueen i n C ounc il, who could teen make the alterations prayed. Nosy we were in the month of June at present, and it was extremely improbable that there would be any possibility of making the application to any quarter-sessions before the coming election; and, therefore, the alterations in the polling places which wo u ld b e necessary if Chia 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, but 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 he would content himself now with stating to the House that he held in his hand letters from the under-sheriff and from the clerk of the peace for Yorkshire, stating that there would not be the slightest difficulty in taking the poll in one day.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HENLEY said he thought the working of this Bill would depend to a considerale extent on the cir cumstences of the different counties. He thought that there would in many country districts be a great difficulty i n getting caeri3ges for the transport of the electors. Ho did not see thus there was any machinery provided is this Bill to bring it properly iota operation before the next electien, and unless the Noble Lord could explain how ho meant to make this Bill a practicable one he should certainly be inclined to oppose proceeding farther with this Bill. With regard to the question of experse he did not think it wee' likely there would be so much saving as would make that argument of any great weight. Mr. CARTER supported the Bill. Mr. FELLOWES thought the Bill went to create a New Reform Bill, and to deprive electors of the fran chise which had been given to them by the Reform Bill. Mr. DREDES supported the 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. BROWN and Mr. LCCIKE ii Na, who 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 coarse 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 House. 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 mach 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 House 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 there was one town containing a population of 20,000, every one of whom w h o h a pp ene d to possess a county .vote would have to travel sixteen miles to give it. Mr. BOUVERIE thought the objections which had been urged aaainst 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 next year. After a few words from Mr. P. MILES and Mr. OSWALD, who .sappirted the Bill, the House divided, when there appeared— For going into Committee Against it . ... 166 . 82 Majority ••• —B4 The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On clause 1, Mr. HENLEY asked when the Noble Lord intended hat this Bill should come into operation? Lord R. GROSVENOR said he intended it should come into operation at once. Ho 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 Pill by the scenes of drunkenness which he had witnessed on the second day of poll. Ho 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 ono booth for every 300 electors, instead of 450, by which means he thought ho should be able to get over the objections which had been raised as to bringing up the electors in too large numbers to be polled within one day. He was anxious to pass the Bill now, because several contested elections were about to take place, where an unfortunate effervescence and excitement might be ex pected, and ho believed if the Bill passed the evil might be got rid of. Mr. 2. DENISON supported the clause, the operation of which he did not believe would deprive any electors of the right of voting as they now did. Experience proved that an election for a county was virtually decided on the first day. In fact. the first day's elec!ien had never been overturned on the knowing day except in one instance, and he asked whether it was judicious to keep the popu lation in euspsnse for twenty-four hours, and to increase the expcnseConly for a small additional number of votes? The same objections which were urged against the Bill were made to Ce prOposal for limiting the election for boroughs from two deys to one, and there was scarcely any man who would not admit that alteration had been productive of great benefit.—(Hear.) Mr. HENLEY thought in the case of a riot voters mig:et be prevented giving their votes, and if the poll was confined to one day, they would not have the oppor tunity, which they p ossesse d now , of availing them selves of the second day, w h en ste p s might be taken t o keep the booths free from disturbance. EX FRA.ORDINARY CONDUCT OF MR. F. O'CONNOR. A brief discussion ensued on the clause, but it was suddenly int e rrupted by l oa d cr i es o f " Order." Mr. B. DENISON here rose in en agitated state, and said he felt compelled to appeal to the chair in conse quence of the conduct of an Honourable Member, who had just struck him a violent blow in the face with his hand, (11r. O'Connor was sitting next to Mr. P. Deni son on the front bench on the Opposition side.) He would take that o pp ortun i ty of stating that he 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 o f them to submit to such con duct.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He regretted beyond aeyihing that he happened to be the unfortunate person who felt called on to make these observations, but believed he spoke the sentiments of th e H ouse. Mr. BERNAL, the Chairman, said, wh a t h e had power to do was to report to tho House when sitting the conduct of any Member. Therefore, if the Comnuttee 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, be thought the House had reason to expect that the inter ruptions which had occurred lately in the House should not us repeated again. The Hon. Member had acted in a dierespseul manner, not only to the Hon. Member (Mr. Denism) 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 bo made or that they should instantly re port what had taken place, for the purpose of main tainiog order. Sir J. PAKTNGTON 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 i: wee 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 susp end the proceedings of the Com m itt ee i n or d er to report to the highest authority in the House the occurrence which t m . t e d d j ia e t s e t l taken place. —([ Tear.) He would move that the Chairman report progress and ask leave to sit again. The motion was put and c ., rried, and the Speaker im insttueHt take notice instruc ted e peared in his place. M r. BERNAL, addressing the Speaker, said—l am report that the conduct of an Hon. Member in the should been such that it is necessary the House Captain almost breathless prr izof it through you. oy here rushed up to the table in an that the same zionstate, and said he had also to report galleries; hit hi— : Member had just now, in one of the a most outrageous manner, and put g.attitude. He told him that if he he would knock him down. eyes spoke to Ea u': A:ipirepploaved that the Hon. Member be Mr. WALPOL Mr. J.

If any thought h e was noto agent, the eve n t of last night must have co n vinced a , free them of the c ontrary; and ho certainly Shoul d consent to his being required to attend in his p l ace not the consequ eaco o f w hich all were aw are e— yesterday he instantly' convinced .he was capable of understanding w k in g gentlemanly and forbearing conduct in the R ouse v 7 a a a t . for when he was called upon apologised to the House. It would not be consistent with the dignity of the House to allow him to retire With out adopting measures to suppress a repetition of s uc h proceedings, and to enable the business of the Zama to he proceeded with in a proper manner. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE considered he was partly re sponsible for the attack on the Hon. Member. The Hon. Member for Nottingham was sitting next to him (Mr. Duneombe), and filter talking a great deal of nonsense, that Hon. Member gave him a very serious blow on the side, aed he told him if he did not behave better he would get into a very serious serape, and in all probability be shut no, 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 hip, 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 outraees. He suggested ho should be com mitted for contempt. The SPEAKER said it was perfectly competent for the House to deal with the Hon. Member as it pleased, and if the House thought the act was of such magnitude as to admit of no apology, it could, without 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 tho Iron. Member was suffering from an aberration of intellect, and was not answerable for his conduct. He was a subject more fit to be placed metier 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 some further discussion, Mr. WALPOLE moved that the Hon. Member for Nottingham be' cornruited into the custody of the Scr geant-at-Arras 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 tho discussion Mr. F. O'Connor got off his seat end 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 ho slunk away, and we believe was arrested in West minster Hall.) The House then resumed, and clause 1 was agreed to. On 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 vvere— For the amendment ... ... 91 Against ... ' ... ... ... 134 Majority ... ... ...-43 The amendment was consequently lost. Clause 2 was agreed to. Lord R. GROSVENOR then brought up a clause to enable the high sheriff to make such provision in the polling bootbs that not more Shah 300 electors shall poll at the same compartment instead of 450, as is the 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 be 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 he 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 to Mclade Ireland in the Bill. The House resumed, and the Chairman reported pro gress. COUNTY COURT FURTHER EXTENSION BILL. The House then wont into Committee on this Bill, commencing with the 25th clause, which empowers the Lord Chancellor to give retiring pensions to County Court Judges. Mr. STANFORD moved, as an amendment, the fol lowing words:—" Provided that such judge, at the time of such 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 acid, the effect of the amendment :vould 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 in cases of pensions to the Commissioners of the Treasury. Clause 26 (the last in the Bill) *as also a,greed to. Mr. HEADLAM 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 the bar, or as a special pleader, or equity draughtsman, or be directly or indirectly concerned as a con viancor, notary-public, solicitor, attorney, or proctor." The House resumed. The Friendly Societies Bill passed through Committee pro forma, on the motion of Mr. SOTITERON. On the motion of Mr. R. PALMER the Disabilities Repeal Bill was read a second time. .MAYNOUTH CO LLEGE—(ADJOURNED DEL'ATE). The resumption of the debate was fixed for Monday. Lir. ANSTEY inquired if there was any chance of it corning on? Mr. SPOONER said it depended on the gnu. Mem. br as much as anybody else. Mr. ANSTEY—That could not be the case, as he had already spoken on the question, and would have nothing more to do with the debate. It being now Six o'clock, the House adjourned until Twelve to-morrow. MR. F. O'CONNOR. On the motion being put from the Chair that the Hon. Member for Nottingham be committed to the custody of the Sergeant•at-Arms, Mr. Feargns O'Connor im mediately left the House with great precipitation, no doubt with the intention of making his escape before the question could be carried. He wa s , however, closely followed by the Sergeant•at-Arms and the officers of the House, and despite the small start he had gained, he was arrested before he got out of Westmiuster Hall. The Hon. Gentleman was imme diately committed to durance vile, where he now remains in charge of one of the messengers of the House. THE LONDON GAZETTE, June 8. DIVIDENDS. At the Court, Basinghall-street. T.

HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THR WEEK. 5m (From the Registrar-General's Report.) od A thousand deaths were registered in the metropolis in the wbek that ended last Saturday, showing an im portant increase on the previous week, in which the I number was only 883. In connexion with this result it will be remarked that the mean weekly tempera ture fell from 52 . 7 deg. and 55 - 6 deg. in the second and third week of May to 50.8 deg. in the fourth, while last week it was 52.5 deg., having been during the last fortnight about 6 degrees below the average, to which atmospheric change the increase of mortality is probably to be attributed. In the four week's 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 inch. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week in the years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 877, 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. 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, diarrhea which rose from 13 to 20, typhus, &c., in which the numbers were respectively 38 to 49, whilst scarlatina increased from 41 to 63. Pnemonia also rose from 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 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, 1.5, 16, and 35 years. Two deaths were registered in the Small pox Hospital ; of these the following are the parti culars : On 31st May a labourer, aged 32 veers, from Brook green-terrace, Hammersmith, died of " small-pox, con fluent. unprotected (15 days)," ,3 3 On 3d Juno a female, aged 13 years, from James's " small-pox, c o nfl uen t, un modl- I.B o l' operation c took badly and left no cleated in .Lotelen when seven cy g aiee a ccia r a d rt(sr e i r x.o6 s 1 , d d, Cleric .ay b us Teve Mr. Watts, the Registrar, states that " this hospital is still full, having had during the past week eighty patients occupying beds.

At 5, Hope-place, Islington. the son of a drover, aged 13 years, died of "small-pox, confluent '(l6 days), not vaccinated." The parents entertained an objection to vaccination. In the east sub-district of Islington % three children died of small-pox, none of venom had been vaccinated, a cireumatauce which Mr. But terfield ascribes in two cases to " ignorance," and in one to "prejudice of parents. At 5, Amelia.. place, Aldgate, on 3d June, the son of a tailor, , aged 5 years, died of small-pox; he had not beenvaeci- 14 nated. Mr. Spencer adds that two other children who had been vaccinated have escaped. The place is "Close 40 and unhealthy."

Captain Charles Talbot (1830) has been appointed to the Meander, 44, as einem adore of the second elate and Commander-in-Chief of the Cape of Good Hope station, vice Wyvilt, in the Castor, 36, whose term of service has expired. Commodore Talbot has terved 18 years afloat. Ho was born Nov. 1, 1301; is second son of the Very R. Charles Talbot, D.D., D ean „ t slroto (grandson of Charles, first Leril Talbot, Lerd High Chat:ceder of England), by Lady Elizaeeth Somers% daughter of Henry, fifth Duke of Be:invert, and grand daughter of Admiral don. Edward 13oscawen. 11e en _ terad the Royal Naval College August 19, 1851, and embarked Dec. 7, 1817, as a volunteer on board tae Pro metheus sloop; was noteirieteil Oat. 17, 1822, actin.. lieutenant of the Dispatch, 18, Captain Clarke h Jetivoi3e. His promotion being confirmed on the 7th Jan,, 1832, he was next appointed to the Eat-riles, 42, fuel Rtiubow, 28, and attaioed, April 30, 1827, the rartk of commander. Towaria the close of May, 1829, Captain 'Pelbot commissioned the Helicon, 10, but that vessel being found defective, he was transferred to the lgerine brig. As a reward for the activity au had dis played in the performance of a detached service in Souih taerica, he was, Nov. 25, 1830, promoted by the late Sir Thomas Baker, Commander-in. Chief, into his own flag-ship, the Warspite, 76. On the eight of April 6, 1831, an insurrection having broken out 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 Loup-a service which Don Pedro 11. subsequently acknowledged by pre renting him with the decoration of the Brazilian order of Cruzero. His next appointment was to the Vestal, 26, in which we?' he centinned from Nov. 2, 1843, until paid off, in July, 1847. On August 18, 1845, being off the northern end of Borneo, Captain Talbot was in trusted 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 eatisfaction. Captain Talbot married, Dec. 11, 1838, Charlotte Georgiana, widow of LieutaColontl Stapleton, and daughter of the late MajareGeneral tho Hon. Sir Wm. Ponsonby, K.C.5'., by whom he has issue a eon and two daughters. Commander Henry Phelps (1849), who was lucky enough to get appointed to the command of the Ferret, 8, at Devonport, for coast of Africa service, has been still more fortunate in obtaining the appointment of com mander in the Sanspareil, under that highly-favoured officsr, Captain Deans. Commander John A. L. Wharton (1848) has been appointed a mail agent in a Calm of Good Hope screw steamer. MALTA ; JUNE 2.-On Saturday kat the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, with the outward India mail on board, arrived in port, having performed her voyage in 81 days; she continued her route to Alexan dria on the afternoon of that day, 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 " Eakie her" in the harbour of Valetta. Oa board the L'enticek was Lieutenaiit-General Fergus son, appointed to the command of the troops, vice Lieu tenant-General Ellice, who has resigned, and who will leave us oy the Beroinek on her return from Alexandria. General Fiergusson lauded early, having declined all the hmeours for him, .and proceeded to the house lately occupied by General Elitee, and which he bad vacated for Morel's Hotel. Captain Pockliugcori, the Military Secretary of the new General, arid Captains Denison and Whitmore, as Aide:-de-Catrip, also arrived. Yesterday the General assumed the command of the troops at 8 A,sr, and received a salute from Fort St. Angelo. The Fury is still in port, as are the Indefatigable and Terrible; but it is thought they will immediately pro ceed to join the Admiral, who, by t h e l as t advises, w as at. Port Mahon. Extract of a letter from Port Mahon, May 18:- "You are aware we loft Malta on the 524tb, nod on the 28th were joined by tee Fury. On the 30th the Tra falgar, having carried away the slings of her umitiyard, we anchored off Port Farina (Panic), until the follow ing morning, when we again got under weigh, the ren dezvous being Cape de Gatt. On the 4th of May we had a heavy squall, accompanied with thunder, light ning. and hail. On the 10th we communicated 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 off Cape do Gat`, and that on the 7th she had passed a steamer. Is, the evening, when in let. 37° 28' N., and long. 2° 0' 5" E., Cape do Gatt bearing S. 77 W. 211 miles, we were joined by the Vengeance, Aleion, Indefatigable, and Phatton, certainly a splendid eddaion to our squadron. " On the 11th spoke the Iteglish schooner Gwaine Maid, from Girgengi, 11 days, having, while reefing topgeliant sails, lost her foretoptnest, and two men over board, in consequence of which we supplied her with a spar to replace her topmast. I have forgotten to men tion she belongs to Fishguarcl, and that we spoke her in left 38 deg, 28 m i n . N,, long. 2 deg. 40 min. E. We have lied the attest exercise at quarters, reefing and furling sails, Se t e, of w at ch it is esetegi to give an rctount, sometimes one ship being first, sometimes an- 8 ' other. We anchored in Port Mahon on the 15th, where 4 d we found th e Antelope.. The Fir e b ran d h as h a d to do , all the work in t ow i ng, t h e Fury having had her ma- the chinery out of ord er t h ree times during the cruise, being 2801bs, twice taken in tow by the Firebrand and once by the ahnid, Bellerophon. -On coming into Mahon, the Fire- L t n i .. Bu brand towed the Brithinia, Trafalgar, and Bel- Oat straw, lerophon. The Antelope rendered similar friendly wheat ditto, services to the Phaeton, Albion, and Vengeance.
