Under the provision made at the last investigation for the payment of au INTERMEDT ATE: BONUS, in the case of Policies becoming Claims by death during the current Septennial period, the whole amounts respectively payable under the above Policies, in the event of the risks now emerging, would be considerably more than those stated in the last column. Thus, supposing the life assured by the first policy to drop during the present year, the amount payable under the 10001. Policy would be, not 20311. ls. Bd., but 21731. ss. 2d. In all cases where the member is not incapacitated in any way from dealing with his Policy, he has the option of con verting the Reversionary Claim for whatever Bonus has been added to it, into an equivalent present payment in cash, or of applying the same towards extinction or reduction of the future Premiums. As showing the effect of such conversion or application, the cases of the above Policies may be taken.

If sanitary regulations may be considered as conducive to health, or indeed any other available means calculated to promote so desirable an object, be worthy of public attention, I would strenuously advise that no relaxation of imperative duty be suffered to impede such salutary precautions during the present year 1856 and the suc ceeding one 1857. The reason I would assign for these cautionary remarks is based upon the following premises prelusively submitted. In all epidemical diseases medi cal skill, notwithstanding its importance, and the essen tial efforts made to arrest their virulent progress, but little has been accomplished towards determining the causes (in any probable way) of their origination or pro gress, particularly with regard to cholera and the phases under which it manifests itself. Ordinary conclusions being thus baffled, may it not be permitted to view the matter metaphysically, and therein note the evidence holding any claim upon our respect or attention, with regard to those principles. Firstly, then, in the year 1849, when cholera proved a great deficiency of electri city, and also a product of the latter termed " ozone," and that a gradual diminution of both bad been going on since the month of January, 1849, and that during the rage of the disease but little of either of the proper ti.s named could be detected in the atmosphere of those plans. It was also ascertained that during the height of the pestilence at St. Petersburg, a magnet capable of sustaining 50 pounds had its power reduced to 26 pounds ; a fact that importantly arrests our attention in evidence of electric abstraction being the primary cause of cholera. Upon this basis an inquiry suggests itself to the following effect :—ls there any known law supported by antecedent uniformity of operation that may consist ently be deemed the cause of such abstraction, as the facts named illustrate? It can be proved that at and during all the epochs of epidemical diseases from 1625 to 1849 that such have invariably been accompanied by either con junctions or oppositions of the more ponderous planets, w hese magnitudes individually, much more when con jointly considered, so far exceed that of our earth that their magnetic attractions under such circumstances be come unquestionable. It is, therefore, humbly presumed from these coincidences and analogous tests that the de. ductions as to cause and effect are well founded. Indeed the capricious bounds of the fell destroyer have hitherto assimilated so closely upon the mode of development in stanced in that mighty agent, electricity, that no converse conclusion is induced, so far as experience has hitherto determined. I may now take leave to mention that in the year 183 t, perceiving an approximating conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Herschel, I was impressed with the belief thata scourge would lamentablyoecurin England in 1831. The result but too truly proved my conviction was well founded, for in that year the cholera first broke out in this kingdom. Also in 1846, upon the same principle, my pre diction was printed and published of a scourge occasioning much mortality which was likely to occur in the years 1849 and 1850. This prediction also was founded upon the then approximating conjunction of the planets Saturn and Herschel in the sign Aries ; and again the result but too truly proved the prediction to be well founded. Now reasoning still further upon these premises, I find that in the years 1857 and 1858 another conjunction of these planets will occur in the sign Taurus ; and finding from the eclipse of the sun during the present year 1856, the effect of which extends to 1857 and 1858 in its inten city, testimony not very dissimilar to that which deter mined my previous conclusions on the epochs now tran spired. I ant led to conclude that a scourge, virulent in its character, may again visit this country, and there fore my remarks addressed to the various authorities connected with the Boards of Health, &c , are made. We have an old proverb that to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Whether these conclusions be deemed well fmnded cr not by such authorities, no possible wrong can arise in being prepared for all c3ntingencies. The value of the maxim of the master minds of every age, whether in military provision and command, or in na tional provision and government in being prepared, as far as human prudence and our finite knowledge will ex tend, cannot be disputed. The indispensable duty of being in time and prepared may be classed as one of the mandates of an ueerring Providence. I have so tar endeavoured to urge the necessity of a general observance of every precautionary means, and the utility of it. Cheltenham, May, 1856. THE ROYAL WESTMINSTER OPHTHAL MIC HO,F.PITAL. The annual meeting of the governors and friends of this charity was held at the Hospital, Charing-cross, yesterday afternoon, the Marquis of Westminster in the chair, in the absence of the president, the Duke of Richmond. The chairman of the committee of manage. ment, Sir J. S winburne, who has manifested his interest iu the hospital by constant and munificent donations, and by being invariably present at these meetings, was unavoidably absent on account of ill health ; but at the board were the Earl of Stafford, the Earl De Grey, Major-General Broke, Admiral Grace, Colonel Wood, son., of Littleton, Colonel Wood, jun., of the Grenadier Guards, Mr. L. Powell, the deputy-chairman, Mr. C. J. Bunyon, other governors, and several officers of the hospital. According to the annual report read by the secretary, Mr. G. C. Farrant, the hospital had been sup ported at the expense of 8211. 12s. 3d. for the year ending the 31st of Dec. last, and there was left a deficiency of assess for the current year of 171.135. 10d. Only the interest of the inalienable fund had been appropriated for the purposes of the hospital ; the principal formed a per manent capital to insure the future existence of the hoe pital on an enlarged scale. 4,8001. stock was invested, but 12,0001. were required to receive an extended num ber of in-patients. 110,641 persons had availed them selves of the benefits of the charity since its formation to the first day of the present year. 2,328 had been re stored to sight by operations for cataract and the forma tion of an artificial pupil ; 4,603 bad had their appear ance improved by the removal of squinting ; 5,938 had during the past year been admitted to the benefits of the hospital ; 184 had been in-patients. The number of in patients was now 24. But the hospital had two wards closed, and many urgent and important cases had been refused solely for the want of funds. The minutes of the special meeting of the 15th of May last were read, in which the committee expressed regret for the death of Mr. Guthrie, and testified affection and respect for him on account of his valuable services to the hospital over a period of nearly 40 years, and of the skill and energy with which he had promoted its interests. The meeting expressed its entire concurrence in the testimony borne in those minutes to the memory of Mr. Guthrie. After a long discussion between the noble chairman, the Earl of Strafford, the Earl de Grey, the Dean of Hereford, Gen. Broke, Col. Wood, and others, it was unanimously resolved that, in order to perpetuate regard for the memory of Mr. Guthrie, a subscription should be en tered into to be applied in aid of the Inalienable Fend, and to be called the Guthrie Fund. The subscriptions for this fund from the noblemen and gentlemen present amounted to 1301. SINGULAR RECOVERY OF EYESIGHT.—An old woman named Mary Brockbank, residing at Preston, lost the sight of one of her eyes 61 years ago. A. few days since she was unwell, but soon recovered her health, under the treatment of Mr. Pilkington, surgeon, and to her joy and surprise her eyesi g ht, of w hi c h s h e h ad been so long deprived, returned to her.—Manchester Courier. DID CITY CERlEYERY.—Yesterday, at :a meeting of the City Commissioners of sewers, a report was brought up from the Cemetery Committee, stating that they had had a conference with Lord Palmerston and Sir G. Grey, upon the subject of the opening for burials of the City Cemetery ; the result being that they were recommended to prepare a table of net charges to submit to Lord Pal m( raton and Sir G. Grey. This table they had drawn up, and now asked the sanction of the board before sub mitting it for the approval of Lord Palmerston and Sir G. Grey. In the course of a discussion that followed, it was stated by the clerk that the fees were nearly the same as had been agreed on at a former meeting. The report was adopted. SECON.O READINGS. On the motion of Lipl REDESDALE, the following bills were read a secon time ;—The Antrim and Cole raine Roads, Banbridiulunction Railway, Cork and Youghal Railway, Dewsbury Water, Eastern Union Railway, Glasgow Court-houses, Jinaresborough and Patley Bridge Road. The Duke of BUCCLEVCH presented petitions from places in Scotland, prayjpg for some measure to do away with the system otunlicensed pawnbroking. The Earl of AIRLIE presented some petitions on the subject of Church rates. , APPELLATE JURISDICTION BILL. On the motion that the house go into committee on thie bill, Lord CAMPBELL said, before the house went into committee on this bill, he wished to correct a misstate• ment that had appeared in regard to what he had stated when the bill was last before their lordships. It had been stated that he had expressed his admiration of this bill. He certainly approved of the bill, but the measure was not one calculated to excite his enthusiasm ; he looked upon it as a bill called for by necessity. ' The Earl of ABERDEEN said he wished to address a few words to their lordships-on the subject—not so much in reference to what was contained in the bill, but to what was omitted .in it. The noble earl opposite, in claiming their lordships' support in favour of the measure being -referred 'to the selegLcougnittee on privileges. state of the jurisdiction of that house with reference to appeals from Scotland. In that declaration he (the Earl of Aberdeen) thought the noble earl was amply justified. It was natural then to expect that in the bill some remedy should be applied to this evil. In the measure before them, however, no reference whatever was made to those grievances which existed. Scotland was not in the slightest degree alluded to in this bill, and no change or improvement upon the subject of Scotch appeals was provided for. The only remedy which he thought should be applied to the evil was to re move altogether Scotch appeals from the jurisdiction of that bouse, and that a court of final appeal should be established in Scotland, to be presided over by the ablest judicial authorities of that country, and by men of the greatest ability and weight. It was a remarkable fact that in the Articles of Union between England and Scotland no mention was ►nade of any appeals to this dountry. On the contrary, the 19th article of the Union stipulated that all the existing courts of judicature should remain entire. The noble earl then at some length proceeded to show the nature and extent of the grievance of which he complained, and observed that it was absurd to sup• pose that that house was competent to decide complicated questions of law arising in Scotland, when the law iu the two countries differed so widely. The Earl of DERBY.—As the noble earl referred to me in the course of his speech, I may be permitted to say a few words in reply to the charges he has brought against the report of a committee of which I was a mem ber, and which owed its existence to a motion which I had the honour to submit to your lordships. I will not follow the noble earl into those antiquarian discussions in which ho has indulged as to the original mode in which Scotch appeals were transferred to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. I do not intend to consider the reasons why at that time there might be very good grounds for preferring the decision of any tribunal, even a foreign one, to that of the Court of Session of Scot land. I will not wound the Scotch feelings of the noble earl by entering upon the reasons. I am not disposed to lay the same stress as he did on the usages of 150 years ago, though it is not difficult to understand that at the period referred to any foreign tribunal would be prefer able to the local tribunals then existing in Scotland. The noble earl stated to your lordships that a very small portion —he might have said an infinitesimally small portion—of the people of Scotland would be disposed to abandon that which they believed td be a valuable boon bestowed upon them,—viz., the appellate jurisdiction of your lordships' house. The noble earl objected to that jurisdiction in Scotch cases, yet admits that the sensible people of Scotland are, on the whole, satisfied with the arrangement. For thirty years the noble earl has held his own peculiar views on this subject. In the commit tee he frankly gave expression to those views, and there as, I believe, in this house he found that he stood alone in holding them. I will not, therefore, enter into a die cusson of the circumstances attending the transfer of the appellate jurisdiction in Scotch cases to the British Parliament. My object in rising is simply to notice the allegations with which the noble earl commenced his speech, and to express my regret that, after the full discussion we had in committee, he should have been induce] to intrude one of the most difficult and delicate questions involved in the subject of the appellate jurisdiction into the consideration of the bill cow before the House. (Hear, hear.) He says that, in introducing the motion for a committee, I founded my argument for that motion on the fact that there was no Scotch judge holding a seat in this house and forming part of the appellate tribunal. The noble earl, before he could have made such a statement, mu-t have entirely misunderstood my statement. I only stated that as one of certain objections which I had heard taken to the appellate jurisdiction, on none of which did I give any opinion. I asked your lordships to appoint a committee to inquire into the nature of those objections, so that if they were well founded mea suresmight be take n t o prov i de a remedy, but I carefully abstained from co mm i t ti ng myself to any of those objec tions ; and though I did say, and say now, that theo retically it does appear extraordinary that Scotch ap peals should be h ear d b y a tribunal not necessarily containing any Scot c h l awyers, or any peer familiar with the law of Scotland, yet I did not say that that cf itself would be sufficient to necessitate an alteration in the appellate jurisdiction of this house. (Rear, hear.) Now, the committee went very fully and faithfully through all the objections that were offered to the existing system, and, I must say, I never attended a committee of yosur lordships' house in which there was manifested so strong a desire to arrive at a sound con clusion—at such a conclusion as would relieve the Go vernment and Parliament and the Crown from a very considerable embarrassment, and which might lead to an important amendment in the appellate jurisdiction of the house. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the necessary introduction of a Scotch judge as one of the supreme tribunal, though there was a very strong opinion on that point by lawyers more especially connected with Edin burgh—the writers to the signet —yet there was consi derable difference of opinion both on the part of the wit nesses who were produced and their representatives of the state of feeling in other parts of Scotland, besides Edinburgh. (Hear, bear.) But, supposing his own scheme of taking the appellate jurisdiction out of your lordships' house to be set aside, I am at a loss to understand what is the object of the noble earl, for he first protested against the necessity of having Scotch cases brought under the jurisdiction of this house, and yet he has been standing up for his country's rights and asserting the claim of Scotch law yers to a seat in the appellate jurisdiction of the house. (No, no, from the Earl of Aberdeen.) That was the ground on which the noble earl made a charge against me. He said I had made the exclusion of a Scotch law yer from the appellate jurisdiction the main ground on which I sought the appointment of the committee, and yet he says, when this bill comes before your lordships' house, that it does not contain one single word as to the admission of a Scotch judge ; he says it, is notorious to every one that there exists a necessity for Introducing a Scotch lawyer, and this he urges as a complaint against me, that the committee has said nothing on the subject, and that there is not insertel in the bill a provision for that purpose. But I say that the question d oes no t rest on the vague and indefinite grounds stated by the 'noble earl. He does not deny that in the report of the committee there is a reference made to the subj ec t. It is there stated that very different views were held upon the question in the abstract by different parties, and that the committee declined to fetter the decisions of th e Crown and your lordships' house by laying down a posi tive and invariable rule that one of the two judges who ought to be admitted to your lordships' h ouse w i t h all the privileges of peers of Parliament, and with salaries attached to their office, should be necessarily taken from the judicial bench in Scotland. (Hear, hear.) Th ere might be reasons why it would be inexpedient and impro per to do so, and why in Scotland itself it might be un desirable. It might be that among the legal members of your lordships' house there would be men already fami liar with the law of Scotland, and well qualifi e d t o act as judges in S co t c h appeals. It might be also that the state of the Scotch bench would be Filch as to make the removal of leading members of the Scotch bench injuri ous, and that you might inflict i greater evil b y weak ening the su p reme tribunal n Scctland than would be counterbalanced by any strengtleni ng o f the ap pellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords. B u t w hil e the bill do es no t prov ide for necessarily placing a Scotch judge in the court of appellate jurisd.,ction, it exp ress l y provides that t wo m embers of that tribunal shall b e per sons who h i .have filled some high odic's' offices for a con siderable space of time, and in this previsio n th e j u d ges of Scotland are pl ac ed precisely in the same position as the judges in other parts of the kingdom. I think that the committee in making that i re commendation exer cised a s oun d di scre tion. It t shotld be necessary, from the circumstances of any particu,ar time, th a t o n e of the jud g e s selected to exercise the appellate jurisdic tion should be taken from the Court of Sessi on i n Scot land, then the bill recognises the claim of Scotland and the Scotch judges, as persons every Way e li g ib le for the office, though it abstains from saying that, necessarily, any of the judges should come from Scctland. This puts in a stronger light than before the admissibility of the Scottish judges, and it is an arrangement which I think will be generally satisfactory ; thongs, of course, no proposition that could be ma . made would 4ve perfect satis faction to everybody, while it one that will tend con siderably to improve the appellate prediction of this house. It will give a better chance of having a person with a knowledge of Scotch law on tie tribunal than before ; and I must say the objection to the bill comes with a bad grace from the noble earl, wlo was himself a member of the committee, and who has had ample op portunities of asoortainiug that hie 9? i ll i ons are not shared in by any, considerable number either of the com mittee or of your lOrdships' house, and who objects to the measure because it does not abrogate the appellate jurisdiction in Scotch cases, and does not insist on a Scotch judge being necessarily a member of that court of appellate jurisdiction, (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ABERDEEN had never meant to say that, the committee should have recommended that a Scotch judge should form part of the tribunal. He said that the administration of the law in Scotch cases by that house was unsatisfactory, and he further said that the appointment of a Scotch judge had been recom mended by parties in Scotland, but that he saw objec tions to that proposal. What he recommended was the entire removal of Scotch appeals from the jurisdiction of that house. Lord St. LEONARDS observed that the noble earl who began that discussion took it for granted that the law lords were wholly ignorant of Scotch law, and illus trated his a , sertion by referring to a conversation he had had with a noble lord once the occupant of the woolsack, who said he knew as much of Scotch law as he did of the law of Mexico. That noble and learned lord was a Scotchmen, and, having to decide on the most important rights of his fellow-subjects, ought to have known something of the laws of his own country. (Hear, hear). But he (Lord St. Leonards) was prepared, from his own observation, utterly to deny the statement of the noble earl. All those who had to administer the Scotch law in that house within his experience possessed it might not be a perfect and intimate acquaintance with every portion of that law, but an adequate knowledge of its nature and principles. No man could hope to rise to the woolsack who had not made himself master of the Scotch law ; for eminence at the bar could not be attained without considerable employment in Scotch cases. An'Englisir counsel pitted against Scottish ad -reeates of-the-greatest learning and ability could have no chance of success, unless previously. grounded in Scotch law, and therefore the first thing done by a man intending to practise at their lordship' bar was to ac quire a competent familiarity with this branch of juris prudence. Scotch law agents ware fully aware of the pains and study bestowed on this subject by English bar risters, and therefore they unhesitatingly ',retain them ac advocates. Having had to administer the Scotch law himself, he (Lord St. Leonard's) should feel morti fied if the animadversions of the noble earl applied to him personally ; and therefore after the remarks that had been made, perhaps he might be allowed to say that he had had great practice as an advocate in Scotch suits at that bar, and was once requested by a re spectable agent to undertake Scotch appeals generally— when a promise was made to him that he should have a brief in every case of that description. Scotchmen must be supposed to know their own interests ; and their rea diness to intrust them to English advocates was some proof that they did not think those interests were likely to suffer in such hands. (Hear.) Moreover, when a law lord was elevated to the woolsack he was not plunged all at once into the intricacies of Scotch law without as sistance. The questions in dispute had all been sifted before they came up for argument on appeal ; and after au examination of authorities a legal member of that house was qualified to give a decision calculated to afford as much public satisfaction as a judgment pronounced by any Scotch judge, however distinguished. The ob servations of the noble earl had an inevitable tendency— however remote it might be from his intention—to dis gust the Scotch people with the jurisdiction of that house, and to render them discontented with the tribu nals to which they must resort. The public feeling on the other side of the Tweed was, however, in favour of the retention of this appellate jurisdiction. It was idle now to inquire whether that house, at the time of the union with Scotland, rightfully obtained and exercised the power of hearing these appeals. Than that no point could be clearer ; it had been recognised over and over again in acts of Parliament, and the incontrovertible in ference from the section of the Act of Union quoted by the noble earl, providing that no court in Westminster. hall should have any jurisdiction over the Scotch courts, was that the authority possessed by the house over Eng lish appeals should extend to appeals from Scotland. Ail writers on Scotch law acknowledged that when that house took possession of its inherent right on the pass ing of the Union, benefit, not detriment, accrued to Scotland, the people of which eagerly appealed to that house to review the decisions of their own court, in which they could not place reliance. Before sitting down he wished to say that he should be the last person to offer a single word in disparagement of Scotch lawyers ; and if he opposed the introduction of a Scotch judge into that house, it was nut from any distrust of the ability of such an individual, but from a belief that the amount of his practice would be so limited as to lend to his judgments no greater weightthan attached to the de cisions of the courts which he would be called upon to overrule. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of ARGYLL said he did not understand the speech of his noble friend (the Earl of Aberdeen) to express the opinion which had been attributed to him by the noble tart opposite (the Earl of Derby) ; but, at the same time, he was afraid that the speech of his noble friend would have more effect in damaging the bill than he had intended. In the discussion before the commit tee several witnesses from Scotland were examined, and they strongly urged that there should be by law one Scotch judge always present in that house. He confessed he entered upon the consideration of the question with every disposition which national feeling could prompt him to sustain it, but he thought the noble earl would agree with him, that it was the impression of the committee that that was not the remedy which they could adopt. If the appellate jurisdiction was to be maintained over Scotch cases, in favour of which proposition the Scotch witnesses were very strong, it seemed hardly possible to prescribe to the Crown that in all such cases it should exert its prerogative in favour of Scotch lawyers, and therefore the observations of his noble friend had really no reference, nor were, he believed, intended to have re ference, to this particular bill. He urged this upon the attention of the house, and he thought it more important to do so because of the manner in which the question came before them. The bill was one of compromise, consequently it was not canvassed or opposed in that house as other bills were; and this was the reason that great misunderstanding out of doors had prevailed. His noble friend seemed to wish that a new tribunal should be erected in Scotland ; but, in regard to that proposal, there was not one single witness in favour of it—they all thought it would be a most unpopular measure to abolish appeals to the Howse of Lords. His noble friend said that the report hardly dealt fairly with the subject, and alluded to the opin ions of Scotch lawyers on the propriety of having a Scotch judge in that house in his appellate capacity. He felt sure that his noble friend's remarks had been much misunderstood. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of WICKLOW said he was much surprised that this bill should have been introduced by his noble friend on the woolsack or by any one of her Majesty s Ministers, who must stil',lFe as persuaded as ever that the resolution of the house was no more than waste paper, and did not alter the law of the country. They mu ,t, be c - mvinced that her Majesty enjoyed the same prerogative now as s'ie did when she was recommended to appoint Lord Wensleydale a peer for life. It was admitted that the Crown could appoint a peer for hut without the privilege of having a seat in that house. Now, supposing that w ere so , th e lif e peers would b e ex cluded from haying seats in either House of Parliament, for the rule of the other house was that no lord of Par liament should sit there. He took it for granted that her Majesty's Ministers intended to propose to Lord Wensleydale one of these new places ; but supposing he refused to accept it, he would bo in a worse position than any other man in the kingdom. He even denied that Lord Wensleydale would be in so good a position as Scotch and Irish peers, as they might be elected to Fit in either house as representatives of the people, or as representative peers. The bill might be an improvement of the appellate jurisdiction, but it was certainly accom panied with many objections to it. Lord CAMPBELL said he must acquit his noble friend near him of all inconsistency in introducing this bill, for he conscientiously believed that the Crown had no right to create peers for life and to sit in Parliament ; and though the Government advised her Majesty to create such a peer, it turned out they had made a mistake. It had been ordered and adjudged by the house that a peer for life, as such, could not sit in Parliament, and so long as that resolution remaine 1 there was no choice. It being desirable to have peers for life to assist in the appellate business of the house, legislation became necessary. With respect to Lord Wensleydale, he had implored the Government to create him an hereditary peer, but if they did not do so he would by no means be in that bad position which had been represented, for not being a poer of Parliament he would be able to represent the people of England, and might stand for the City of London, and might be returned, and there would not be the slightest objection to his qualification or to his right to a seat in Parlia ment. He had heard the remarks of the noble earl (the Earl of Aberdeen) with great pain, for in every appeal from Scotland that came to that house he believed that justice had been properly administered. If the noble earl was not satisfied with the present system, why did he not propose that the appeals should be heard in Edin bur,gh ? The answer was plain, he would have the whole of the cities and counties of Scotland against him, and he would stand alone in the matter. He (Lord Camp bell) would take upon himself to assert that the univer sal voice of Scotland was in favour of the appeals being decided by that house, and he hoped the noble earl would support the bill, unless he chose to bring in one to abolish their juri3diction in cases of appeal from Scot land. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, who spoke in so low a tone of voice as to be almost inaudible in the gallery, was understood to say he would not feel himself justi fled in giving his assent to the bill if he thought it iu any way limited the prerogative of the Crown. The present bill, however, was only an arrangement to meet a diffi culty which it was admitted on all hands ought not to be permitted to go further, and it was not intended to proceed beyond the present case, its object being to int prove the judicial service of the house by enabling the law lords to have a seat there for their lives. Beyond the limitation as to the number of the law lords, it left the prerogative of the Crown entirely untouch-A. The bill was, in fact, only the expression of a resolution on the part of the house, their lordships never having re garded such resolutions as the law of the land. Lord REDL'SDALE could not agree with the noble marquis that the present bill left the prerogative of the Crown unaltered. So far from that being the case, it actually extended that prerogative, by enacting that the Crow❑ might create four life peerages, the holders of which would be entitled to seats in that house, for the purpose of strengthening its legal force. Beyond that, however, the prerogative was left as strictly limited as I before. After a few words fr3m Lord ST. LEONARDS, which were inaudible in the gallery, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the bill did not pronounce any general opinion on the prerogative of the Crown ; it was designed only to meet a s pecial case. Earl FITZWILLIAM was understood to say that their lordships ought not to conclude that this bill settled the question. One single expression of opinion could ❑ot be regarded as disposing of the whole question of the prerogative of the Crown, and especially as the house had not been unanimous in the resolution which ac corded their opinion. The present bill, undoubtedly, might meet the existing„difficulty, but the broad ques tion remained to be tried, and would inevitably come before them again in some form. Earl GRANVILLE said that, although the present question was one of some difficulty, be was not disposed to regard it as one of so hopeless a nature as had been represented. The facts of the case were, that the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government having (been informed that it was desirable for the public con veuience to increase the number of law lords in that house, and being aware that reasons existed which ren dered it inconvenient to confer hereditary peerages upon those learned personages who were best qualified to strengthen the legal force of their lordships' house, the noble lord at the head of the Government advised her Majesty to take a step which he was apprised was the undoubted prerogative of the Crown—namely, to create peerages for life. A life peerage was accordingly con ferred upon Lord Wensleydale, and of that step he (Earl Granville) entirely approved, regarding it as cal culated to add very much to the judicial strength of the house, and calculated to lead to no inconvenience what ever. Such, ho xever ' did not appear to be the general opinion of their lordships' house, for as soon as the facts became known, notices were given of objections to the course pursued—those objections being stated to be of both a legal and a constitutional character. His (Earl Granville'e) owe opinion on the subject remained un changed ; he thought the house was wrong in the course it pursued with regard to Lord Wensleydale, but whether right or wrong the house came to a different conclusion. The party opposite entertained an opinion adverse to her Majesty's Government on the question, and even a large number of those who usually supported Govern ment thought that it had pursued an unwise course. He must confess himself obstinate enough to have remained throughout of his original opinion, and consistently to have regretted the objections which were taken. Their lordships, however, appeared to be of opinion that, al though the Crown had power to create peerages for life, it could not therewith confer the privilege of a seat in that house, and a resolution declaratory of that opinion was in consequence formally adopted. Under these cir cumstances a noble and learned lord had suggested a ready solution of the difficulty, namely, that of creating Baron Wensleydale an hereditary peer. He would, however, appeal to their lordships as to whether the adoption of such a course would not have been the most complete abandonment of the question it was possible to imagine? Her Majesty's Government were most un willing that there should be even the appearance of a difference between the Crown and their lordships' house, and therefore decided upon referring the whole matter to a committee on appellate jurisdiction, to see what ar rangement could be made on the subject. That com mittee met, and he felt bound to add that very little party feeling was manifested upon either side—all parties con curring that it was most desirable to arrive at a satisfac tory result, avoiding, if possible, doing anything which would either convey a censure on the course taken by the Crown, or that pursued by the house. The committee unanimously agreed that, for the purpose of strengthening the judicial service of the house, it was desirable that some life-peerages should be created • and it was with a view to carry out that opinion that the present bill had been framed. The bill, he thought, met the difficulty in the most satisfactory manner without impairing the dignity of the Crown or of their lordships' house ; he trusted it would receive the assent of all parties. And, in con clusion, he hoped their lordships would, in a fair and constitutional manner, come to a satisfactory conclusion on what he entirely agreed had been a very difficult and complicated subject. Tne Earl of DERBY said he could notresist rising to exprem4 his entire concurrence in the tone, manner, and statement, of his noble friend opposite. The noble earl had acted on the present occasion with that fairness and straightforwardness which he must say had charac terised him throughout all the discussions in the com mittee, and he ha I placed the arrangement entered into by the two sides of the house in a position in which he (the Earl of Derby) thought there would be no differ erica of opinion between them as to the desirableness of coming to a general concurrence ; and he also agreed with him entirely in the nature of the arrangement which had been so made, and also generally in the light in which they ought to regard the passing of this bill. The house then went into committee. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Lord ST. 1/EONARDS proposed fhe omission of the judges of the Prerogative Court and the Admiralty Court. He did not think they were properly quallified persons to fill the office of appellate judges, who should have a general knowledge of the law of the land. Earl G RANVILLE said the object of the Government was to get the best men wherever they could be found to discharge those high judicial functions. This was merely an enabling clause, and it was desirable that as little limit as possible should be placed on the choice of the Crown. Lord CAMPBELL said the introduction of the names of these judges i❑ the clause only enlarged tne circle of those who were eligible, and it might so happen that one or both of them might be the best men to appoint appel late judges. He therefore trusted his noble and learned friend would not press his amendment. Lord ST. LEONARDS consented to withdraw hits amendment, but warned the Government, unless they were very careful in the appointments made, they would entirely destroy the appellate jurisdiction of the house. (Hear.) The Earl of DONOUGHMORE sunested that the judge of the Prerogative Court of Ire!and should be added. (Laughtr.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had not the idi.fhtest oljection. The cause, with the addition of the words " the judge of the Prerogative Court of Ireland," was then agreed to. The remaining clauses and the preamble were then agreed to, and the bill was reported to the house. THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. JUVENILE CONVICTS' PRISON (IRELAND) BILL. ThiA bill Wa9 read a second time. REFORMATORY SCEIOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL, This bill went through committee. NATIONAL GALLERY BILL. The report of amendments on the National Gallery Bill was brought up and agreed to, and their lordships adjourned at half-past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour, but ,here being but 33 members present, the house ad. ourned until tomorrow. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. ALDERSFIOTT CAMP BILL. The committee appointed to consider this bill met yes terday in room N 0.17. The committee consist of Mr. Monsell (in the chair), Col. North, Sir J. Paxton, Mr. Tite, Mr. Macartney, Col. Lindsay, Cel. Knox, Lord Monck, and Col. Dunne. Mr. if. Scott appeared in support of the bill ; Mr. Macaulay, for Mr. S. Nicholls, a landowner, opposing the bill. The preamble of the bill stated that certain lands had been purchased, and were now vested in the Secretary of State for the War Department, with perpetual suc cession, upon trust for her Majesty and her successors, to be used as a military camp for the instruction and training of troops in the science of war, and that cer tain roads and rights of ways, if suffered to continue, would very much interfere with and impede the useful purposes of the military camp, and would be greatly de trimental to the public service. It was therefore deemed expedient that all rights and privileges relating to roads leading from the village of Aldershot to the third mile stone from Farnham to Bagshot, and across all common lands in the parish of Aldershot and Yateley, and also the road leading from the turnpike road, at a point op posite Heath Villa, from the entrance of Crantnore-lane, should be extinguished. Mr. Hope Scott having addressed the committee, and called two witnesses in support of the bill, the committee adjourned. ISLE OF WIGHT STEAM BRIDGE AND APPROACHES BILL. The committee on this bill met yesterday ; Sir Wm Somerville in the chair. The bill seeks to effect an improved communication across the Solent Sea, between Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, in conjunction with the Stokes Bay Railway and Pier Company, for which an act was passed in the last session of Parliament. It was the intention of the promoters of the bill to have a steam-bridge propelled on chains across the Solent, but this part of the scheme ' 134 opposed by the Admiralty, although bridges of a similar description are in successful operation across the Tamar, the Dart, the Itchen, and the harbour between Gosport and Portsmouth. By the proposed bridge across the Solent, in connection with the railways centring at Farnham, on the composition of the Stokes Bay Rail way, the transit between London and the Isle of Wight would be reduced from three to four hours and a half, and persons would be effectually relieved of all risks, annoy ances and exposure, so justly complained of. Mr. Sergeant Wells and Mr. Johnstone. appeared for the promoters of the bill ; Mr, Calvert opposed for the ___ ..._ I EW S PAPE it Portsmouth Steam-boat Company ; an d Mr. Rodt7t i ellfOr e'r4 A e l2 4 ,s the Hyd e Pi er Company. 1 1 Mr. Webster was called, and examined by 11It. Ser- ,t ••' io • gennt Well s ;en d h e state d th at t hi s su bj ect h a d ER en •• taken up eery warmly by the inhabitants of Hyde, e l eee g : "; where a public mee ti ng was h e ld, an d reso l ut i ons were 1: 1 1( e'r unanimously passed in favour of the proposed plan, him' a s affording a greatly-facilitated communication with the metropolis, and would at the same time save a large ex pense which was now exacted by the Portsmouth Steam-beat Company and the Hyde Pier Company. It would also save the necessity of luggage being con veyed on porters' backs to the steam-boats, which led to great confusion ; and several ti mes h e bad seen carpet. bags and other packages dropped into the water. The proposed plan would also give the Isle of Wight the advantage of receiving many articles at a greatly reduced cost, and particularly as regarded coals ; for in conse quence of the great risk of landing coals at Hyde there was a difference in price of ss. a ton between Hyde and Portsmouth. The public cimplained of the high pier dues at Rede, being charged 2d. for going on to the pier, and if a carpet-bag was carried they were charged 2d. or 31., according to the weight of it. By the bill the promoters sought no exclusive privilege, but the in creased accommodation of the T , üblie. If a gentleman sent a man from his yacht to Hyde, to purchase any thing, he was charged 2d. going, and 2d. when he came lute . again. The pier at Hyde could not be used for mercantile purposes, as it has been constructed entirely fur a promenade ; therefore any attempt to convert it into a pier for commercial purposes would be a failure. The passenger traffic was altogether neglected. He had taken up this matter as a resident of Hyde, knowing the inconvenience to which the people were subjected. By the Chairman—People using Hyde pier pay 2d. for going on. The pier paid an interest of 15 per cent. Mr. E. Marvin was the next witness. He said he was an estate agent at Hyde. The steam-boat company and the Hyde pier company did not give the people of the island sufficient accommodation. With the establish ment of these landing-places there would be increased accommodation to the pier, and if carried out would be the greatest boon, not only to the inhabitants, but to persons visiting Ryde. He concurred in the main with what he bad heard from Mr. Webster. The communi cation for carriages was almost prohibited. The steam boat communication was most defective, for sometimes the boat was nearly filled with luggage, and then 200 passengers were crammed in. Mr. Rodwell—He held the pier for one year, and although he reduced the tolls on luggage 1,5001. for that year, then he made plenty of money by it. They took the tolls from him then because they thought he made too much money by them. He wished to reduce the passenger toll to a penny, but be' was not allowed to do so. Mr. Tudor gave evidence as to the practicability of the plan, and the committee adjourned. THE ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE CRIMEA. This committee met on Monday in the room No. 12 ; Mr. Augustus Stafford in the chair. Dr. Lindsay, inspector-general of Haslar Hospital, at Gosport, was the first witness examined. He stated that the system of female nurses in the Crimea had been found to work very well. The officers of the navy were not compelled in hospitals to pay for leeches, medical comforts, or nurses. The staff at Haslar was two inspec tors, two assistant inspectors, two staff surgeons, assist ant surgeons and dispensers. The surgeon makes his round of the hospital, accompanied by an assistant, and the nurse takes the prescription to the dispenser and re ceives the medicine. There is a lunatic asylum for the navy, attended by a staff surgeon. Those officers who are insane are not taken out of that asylum and sent to country asylums, but they are kept there until they re cover or die. The system of that hospital is most satis factory. We draw up reports quarterly as to subjects of medical science. Lord De Ros said he was a major-general in the army, and had been for 23 years on the inspection staff of the cavalry. He produced a confidential report published half-yearly as to the state of the medical staff of the hos pitals, the supply of stores, and the treatment of the sick. From what he saw at Varna, when the cholera broke out with such violence there, he thought that nothing could be more praiseworthy than the conduct of the medical officers there, but their numbers were insuffi cient for the duties that were cast upon them. There was an insufficient number of dispensers of medicine; for the surgeons, instead of being by the bedside of the sick men, were compelled to make up pills and com pound medicines. By Mr. F. Peel—There are at the present time in the Crimea a number of men instructed for ho-pital duties. By Sir J. Tiolope—Ha was aware of the hospital sys tem in the Guards, and be thought it would be well to keep a b(.dy of trained IL ea for hospital service, instead of keeping a permanent hospital serjeant. He was consulted as to the site selected for the encampment of the army in Bulgaria, in conjunction with the medical officers. It proved very healthy at first, but after that it took a turn and became very unhealthy, and then there was a defi ciency of hospital attendants. The governing organisa tion of the medical department had been brought fre quently under his notice, and it was his opinion that if two assistants to the army surgeons were appointed, it would be desirable, with a secretary. He thought that the military secretary should be appointed by the Com mtrider-it -Caief, but should be removable by the Secre• titry at War. He would add to the director-general of the medical departtrent two other persons, who should be subservient to him i❑ authority, a❑d they should ra ther be advisers than assume any independent authority. As to the ambulance corps, lie bad occasion to complain of their notorious conduct at Varna, and they had come out deficient in stores, and were altogether ignorant of their duties. The ambulance carts and waggons for the removal of the sick were too heavy, for they could not move them, and they were altogether useless. They were not of the same pattern as those used during the Penin sular war, but were of a new pattern, and he believed they vk era inspected by Lord Raglan previous to leaving E4'and. By Mr. Bellew--The arobas were very inconvenient, and the sick were much exposed to the beat of the sun. By the Chairman—A. medical officer should be placed, he thought, on a Fituilar footing as an officer without pnrchtse, and that was that he should advance by merit. By Colonel North—The junior medical officers of the army in the Crimea were most uncomfortable ; but, as regarded the medical officer 3 of the marines and navy, they had everything provided for them. By Sir J. Trollopo—There is very little competition to enter the army medical service, but he had beard that there was great competition to get into the army medi cal service of the East India Company, as the pay and retiring allowance were much more advantageous th an in the British army service. Dr. Hume said he entered the service of the army in 1793, and was with Sir J. Moore in his campaign in the Peninsula. He was also with the expedition to Wal cheren, and afterwards was in Egypt. He did not think they could deal well with cases of dysentery in tents, as it was necessary to keep up a certain degree of warmth, which could not be done in tents. At Walcheren the sick were placed in house', and after the siege of Flushing 300 men fell down in a few days. There was no great sickness in the Peninsula after the tattle of Talavera, There was no epidemic in the Peninsula. There was a sort of English cholera, from the men eating unripe grape=, but there was no epidemic disease. He was in the retreat from Czarina and from Burgos, and those who were sick were conveyed in spring waggons, for we left none behind. The army was four days on its march from Salamanca, but he did not remember the time occu pied in the retreat from Burgos. He knew of no case of medical men, sent fresh from Eegland, being appointed over the heads of those who had been working for the sick for any time in the Peninsula. He preferred the present machinery to a medical board, which existed in his time ; but it was f oun d no t t o wor k wel l , and was abolished. There were to his regiment, when it was in Portugal, himself and assistant surgeons, the regiment consisting of 1,000 men. We bad two assistant surgeons at Walcheren, and also at Egypt. We were required to make up medicines, but we did not like it, and we taught serje.,nts to make them up. A dispenser of medicine was a position of great trust. No medals or honours were given in the Peninsular war to the regimental medical officers. They were mentioned in the de spatches of the Duke of Wellington after the battles of Vittoria, Salamanca, Toulouse, &c., but nothing fol lowed from it. He considered, in ordinary cases, that a staff surgeon and two assistants were sufficient for a regiment. The army before Sebastopol was placed in a position of great difficulty ; but he did not think the system was to blame ; but there had been a great differ ence in it since his time, as they had done away wi th t h e apothecaries to the army. The committee adjourned at the usual hour.
