Unless they changed their whole systemsuch they would not be able to get proper men to enter the service, because it was felt that if they did so they would become degraded in their social position. Under such circumstances he shuddered at the idea of a serious engagement taking place. He had the honour of presiding over one of the most important meetings, in a medical sense, lately held. There were more than 4,000 medical students present, and there were deputations from every school of surgeons and medical college in the United King dom. Those young men all came forward and pledged themselves never to enter the service of the navy as long as those degrading regulations existed. When the army estimates were brought forward in 1853, the hon. and gallant colonel who made the present proposition stated his apprehensions upon this subject in the event of war, and he said that the Admiralty had deteriorated the article, and had taken medical officers of an inferior de scription into the service, who acted solely under a warrant similar to that of a boatswain. The right hon. baronet the member for Carlisle (Sir J. Graham), in reply, said that at that moment there was no deficiency in that branch of the service—that the Government bad no complaint to make of a want of a sufficient number of surgeons in the navy, and he added that if he had the slightest apprehension that the crews of her Majesty's ship's would be exposed to the treatment of ignorant practitioners, there was no sacrifice which he would not be willi.ig to make in order to remedy so great an evil Now, after such a declaration from the right hon. hart., he (Mr. Brady) was sure, if he were present, that he would support the proposition before the house. He would ask the gallant admiral (Admiral Berkeley) on the Treasury bench whether he was now ready to remedy the evil of which they complained I He (Mr. Brady) charged the hon, and gallant admiral with b-ing the great cause of the present wretched state of the medical department of the navy, by removing all inducement to good medical officers to remain in the service. He hoped, however, that this evil would soon be remedied, and that the navy would be once more great and gloriousas itsbou w t be. ld Admiral BERKELEY not have risen but for the unwarrantable personal attack that had been made upon him by the hon. member.

Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Waterford, complaining of the irregularity of the conveyance of the mails in the south of Ireland. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from a place in Kent, praying for the abolition of Church rates ; also a petition from a Belfast congregation against the grant to Maynooth ; and also a petition from a place in Wales, praying that public-houses might be closed on Sunday.

Lord LYNDHURST remarked that as every member of the Government was absent except the Lord Privy Seal, he suggested that the discussion upon the above bill should be postponed. He had no objection to the measure being read a second time, and that the discus sion be taken upon the motion for g:iing into committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he was entirely in the bands of the house, and he would have no objection to the course proposed. CHURCH RATES. Earl GREY presented two petitions against the ex isting system of church rates, and expressed his dissent from the views taken by the petitioners. A. desultory conversation took place, in which the Bi=glop of Exeter and the Lord Chancellor took part, at OA termination of which Earl Grey withdrew the petitions.

Their lordships then adjourned. but he certainly should wish to hear something of it details before he pledged himself to support i. Mr. L. HEYWORTH said a few words that did not reach the gallery. .The bill was brought in and read a first titre. EDUCATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN. _ _ Mr. E. DENISON rose to move for leave to intro duce a bill to provide for the education of the children of poor persons in the receipt of in-door relief. His bill was not so much a new measure as a supplementary measure to other bills which had already been proposed to the house. He had been urged to persevere with his bill by the introducers of the other bills ; and the object of his bill was to enable education to be given to poor children, but not as a condition of relief to the parents, and not making it compulsory on children to attend any particular kind of school. He should have been glad to introduce a clause to make a portion of the expense fall upon the Consolidated Fund, but on a communication with the Chancellor of the Exchequer he was informed that the state of the public funds prevented such a clause from receiving countenance. He trusted at a more favourable time this part of his plan would receive con sideration. He believed there would be no opposition to the introduction of the bill, and he would conclude by asking leave to introduce it. The bill was then read a firlit time, and ordered to to printed. LAND AND ASSESSED TAXES DIVISIONS. Mr. FREWEN moved for leave ta bring in a bill to facilitate the formation of divisions within and for which meetings of commissioners of land or assessed taxes may be held in that part of the United Kingdom called Great Britain. The bill was read a first time. SUPPLY. On bringing up the report, and on the vote of 100,000/. for education being brouL., , ht forward, Mr. HADFIELD objected to the vote f,,r educational purposes. He objected to Government interfering with education at all, because it checked those efforts which were being made by private enterprise. It had been said that tile voluntary system had failed, but he denied this ; the voluntary system had not failed, it had worked and was working wonders. The compulsory principle — the taxation principle—had failed, and had dune the ad mitted mischief. The voluntary system had produced this result, that one in every eight persons was now re ceiving education, whereas, before this period, the pro portion was only one in eighteen. The education given by the system of Sunday-school training was a strictly religious edui ation, and Gov,rnment with all its power, and at whatever cost, would fail to equal such a result. Nw should move that this partioular votes 100 aim.ll.wca. Compulsory education would fail as it had failed—and as Government had failed in becoming manufacturers, so they would fail in their educational scheme. Sir G. GREY said an opportunity would be given to every hon. gentleman at a future stage to state his ob jections to any vote that bad been arrived at last night. He hoped the bon. gentleman would not persevere in his objections. The vote was then agreed to, and the report was re ceived. The Convention with Sardinia Bill was then read a third time and passed. The house then adjourned at five minutes past eight o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF CONINIONS.—Apnir, 17. MEDICAL DEPARTMENTS.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.) In the week that en 'ed last Saturday, the deaths of 1,347 persons (715 males and 632 females) were regis tered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54, the average number was 1,035, which, if raised by a tenth part for increase of popula tion, becomes 1,138. Hence it appears that a high rate of mortality still prevails, the excess of deaths in the nresent return over the estimated number being 209. ' The weekly number of deaths from bronchitis ob serves a remarkable uniformity ; in the last five weeks it has been successively 163. 146, 155, and 153. Pneu monia is less regular in its effect, the cases in which it was fatal in the same weeks having been 135, 96, 113, 98, and 92. There is now a decrea3e in the mortality of hooping-cough. From six avmotic disease, small-pox, measles, scarlatina, hoopmg-cough, diarrhoea, and typhus, there were altogether 191 deaths last week. Last week, the births of 912 boys and 806 girls, in all 1,718 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54, the average number was 1,411. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 519 in. The highest readings occurred at the beginning and end of the week, when they were respectively 29.94 in. and 29.92 in. The mean temperature of the week was 47.2 deg., which is 2.1 deg. higher than the average of the same week in 38 years. The air became warmer towards the end of the week, and on Saturday the mean tempera ture rose to 50.4 deg. ; and the highest temperature in the week occurred on that day, and was 63 deg. The lowest temperature was 36.2 deg., and occurred on Sun day, on which day snow fell in the north of Scotland. The mean dew-point temperature of the week was 39.9 deg., and the difference between this and the mean air temperature was 7.3 deg. The wind blew generally from the south-west and west. On Tuesday there was very active positive electricity, with strong galvanic cur rent, and abundance of sparks, and positive electricity was generally shown the rest of the week. 1 MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

The Britannia, 120, on her return lately to Portsmouth from the Black Sea, landed a fine brass field-piece, a trophy from the memorable field of Alma. This is about being removed from the Gun-wharf, Portsmouth, to Woolwich, for national exhibition. It has already been inspected by some hundreds of military men and civilians. It is a 14-pounder, with carriage, driving limber, bucket, sponge, rammer, worm, scraper, and ail appurtenances complete. The top of the bucket also serves as a torn pion for the gun ; the axle•tree bears strong evidence of an attempt to cut it through to prevent the enemy get ting it off the field when its capture became imminent, and the pole was effectually cut away. The gun has an elevating screw, worked by a winch through the limber, and so simple as to " beat" anything of the kind in the British gunnery working. The ranges of the gun are inscribed on the carriage, which is made with the view of mounting a 24-pounder if needed. It has " 1852" marked on it. An enormous quantity of shot, guns, and shell, rifles, pistols, and common arms have been supplied from the Portsea gun wharf for the equipment of the Baltic fleet. and a very large supply of Colt's revolving pistols has also been provided there for the same service. The Indiana screw steam-transport left Portsmouth harbour for Southampton yesterday morning to refit. The Lightning, paddle-wheel tender to the Duke of Wellington, left Portsmouth yesterday for the Baltic. The Grinder new steam gun-boat got up steam in the factory basin at Portsmouth yesterday, to test *le work ing of her engines, which is reported as satisfactory.

The Adelaide bas experienced very stormy weather on the let of April in a heavy gale from the westward ; the sick suffered severely by the labouring of the ship, and several temporary berths, fitted by Government on the troop deck, were broken. Captain Young then bore up for and took shelter in Cagliari, where the French line-of -battle ship Jena was at anchor. At Malta were the steam-vessels Niagara, Jason, Victoria, and Einu.

A detaohment.of the 69th Regiment arrived in Liver 'pool yesterday afternoon from Chatham, and embarked forthwith for Dublin in the steamer Prince. for the lin, pose of forming a portion of the British reserve. The regiment recently arrived from India. The men are at present armed with the old musket, but the Minie will be sublituted before they are despatched for the Crimea.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, APRIL 17. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Kijesty's Consul at Bahia, inclosing a translation of a noti:o descriptive of a new lighthouse on the Morro do S. Paulo, near that port, copy of which is subjoined. (Copy.) (Translation.) Captain of the Port's Office. In compliance with orders from the Provincial Govern ment is made public, by the Captain of the Port, for the information of navigators, the following description of the lighthouse of the Morro of S. Paulo. which will begin to be lighted on the 3,1 of next May, as also observations on the port of the said Marro and the adjacent coast comprised between it and this city. Bahia and Captain of the Port's Office, 9th March, 1855. (Signed) DIOGO IGNACIO TAVARES, Commodore, Captain of the Port. OF THE PORT AND LIGHTHOUSE OF THE MORRO DE S. PAULO. The lighthouse of the Morro de S. Paulo is built on the top of a hill or cape of the same name, at the entrance of port, in latitude 13d 21m 40. south, long. Grsv. weAt 38d 51rn 48s. The tower will be painted white, and the balcony has an elevation of 80 English feet above the hill, and 276 above the surface of the sea, and will be seen, by day, in fine we a th er , a t 30 miles' distance. This lighthouse (the bast on the coast of Brazil), on Fresnell's principle of refraction and of the first order, has,. in the space of a minute, b l ight li g ht f or 15 secon d s, foll6wed by an eclipse of 45 seconls. The light, in clear weather, is seen from the quarter deck of a vessel at 20 miles' distance and from the Tops at 28. Whatever may be the distance, it has always a strong and very bright light, and is distin guished from the lighthouse at the bar of Bahia by the time of its eclipses, by the greater brightness of its light, and by its colour, which is always brilliant, whereas that of S. Aatonio has three different phases, each followed by an eclipse. At alesser distance than 12 miles the eclipses are not total, the bright light is followed by a faint one, in place of the eclipses, which become more notable as the distance increases; those who observe perfect eclipses may consider themselves more than twelve miles off. At tile point of the compasS 46 deg. N.E. true, at a distance of thirty miles is the lighthouse of the bar at Bahia. From the Morro towards the north, a bay bordered with rocks is formed, and the western point of the island of Itaparica with the main land forms the bar of Jaguaripe, to which the existing hydrographical charts improperly ,gave the name of Barra False, the same being a small inlet of the island to the east of that bar, formed by the point of Aratuba and another which is further to the north, which at a distance of more than 14 miles has a similar configuration to the point of S. Antonio, appearing like the latter to detach itself from the land which lies to the westward of it. Even in the day time these places ought not to be approached nearer by vessels at a less depth of water than II fathoms; if they have no pilot on beard. Those which sight from the south the lighthouse of the Morro of S. Paulo, and wish to re main in sight of, Bahia. nntht nos tn Dn..% to west of the line N.B.—S.W. true, of the lighthouse, as long as they are to the soath of Itaparica. and for greater caution ought to sound and veer the ship to the south as soon as they find eleven fathoms in depth, by which they will avoid nearing the shoals and rocks of the point of Caixa, Pregos, Barra Easa, and others, which on the eastern side encircle that island, which at night are so much more to be feared when the strong sea winds drive the waters into the bay; besides which, in some places at 10 fathoms, the depth diminishes rapidly. If, on finding a lesser depth than 11 fathoms, it appears the vessel is not - to the N.E. of the line N.W.—S. W. of the lighthouses, it must be understood that there is a defect in the com passes, and never hesitate to tack to the South, the sounding being on the northern tack the truest indi cation of danger. At a di s t ance of 13 to 14 miles fro m the point of S. Antonio, the, lighthouse of the bar of Bahia, begins to be seen a faint light, showing distinctly its different colours at about a distance of 6 miles. The .entrances of the port of the Morro is open for vessels of all descriptions, taking notice that at a mile to the west ward of the Fort suns a shoal up the river line, and whose depth goes gradually diminishing on the si , lepf the shoal, engtb e andnai by to a ridgeo the f hill rocks on calledhe er.,seteorintass,i,t,lewrbuienbs i run out into the sea for 180 fathoms, more or le ss , ith a depth of 8 fathoms in some places near them. However, against these care must be taken in th e t night-time by those who are tacking in to fetch the anchor age. By day the breakers on these ridges of rock are very visible. Two miles distant from the shore of the M - nro of S. Paulo, and from thence towards the south, with the lighthouse in sight, is an open'passage for any kind of ves sel ; and those that wish to enter the port by it can come near the hill by the northern side as far as the depth of the soundings will allow, and the open anchorage begins at the point of the Fort up to a mile inward. A pilot ought to be taken by those who wish to ascend the river, where there is a sheltered anchorage for a squadron. Bahia, March 3, 1855.
