In this case, which, it will be remembered, is a prose cutiois instituted by the Lunacy Commissioners against the defendant, vt ho is one of the medical officers of the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, for causing the death of a pauper lunatic by keeping him for a long period in a cold shower bath, Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution, applied to have the recognisances of the witnesses for the prosecution respited to the neat session. He said that although the defendant was committed by the magistrate to this session, it was understood at the time that, it would be impossible to be ready to go on with the case it the present session, and he believed it would meet the convenience of all parties that the trial should be postponed. The recognisances of the witnesses were then ordered to be enlarged to the next ses,ion. _ Henry Sierens pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery with violence. The robbery imputed to the prisoner was one of a very daring and impudent character. It appeared that the prisoner and anothpr man went into the shop of the pro secutor, Mr. Cockeyne, a jeweller, in Mark -lane, at six o'clock in the evening. The prosecutor was alone in the shop, and they asked him to show them some studs, and upon his turning round to the glass case, the pri• sonar's companion seized him by the throat while the prisoner deliberately began emptying the cases of the jewellery_ they contained. Tho prosecutor struggled with his assailant, sad was severely injured; and at length both the men ran away. The prisoner was stopped by a man named Joseph Williams, who, after a very severe struggle, succeeded in securing him, and about 601. worth of je we lery WAS found in his possession. The other man succeeded in making his escape. Evidence was given that the prisoner had been before convicted of burglary, and he was sentenced to ba trans ported for 14 years. The Recorder ordered a reward of 51. to be paid to Williams for his gallant conduct upon the occasbn. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MARY- LEBONE. This afternoon a young man, whogave the name of John Coles, was examined at Marlborough-street police court, charged with attemptirg to murder& young fe male named Emily Lucas. From the evidence it appeared that last right the pri soner was loitering about Harley-street villas, and at about half-past 9 a boy arrived at No. 9 and rung the bell. The girl, a servant at the house, opened the ioor to take the parcel the boy bad to deli vtr, when the prisoner rushed up and fired a pistol at her, which took effect in the forehead, between the eyes, one of which it completely knocked out. The poor girl fell to the ground, and the prisoner made off. The wounded woman was taken to S. Mary's Hospital, and it was discovered that the wound was likely to cause death. At about half past 10 last night, the prisoner gave himself up to Constable Williams, D, saying, " I'm your pri soner. I've shot her, and you'll soon bear all about it." He was searched at the station, and on his person was found 8 love letters, 4 percussion caps, 4 small pebbles, oz. of powder, and a pistol. The weapon, with which the deed was committed, was a large horse pistol. Jealousy is said to be the cause of the melancholy affair. The magistrate having heard the evidence of the house surgeon of the hospital, remanded the prisoner. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day. HAY MARKETS.

But of these bills only 73 were passed ; and the total length of line actually autholisedwas 363 miles. Of the 73 acts passed in 1855 53 had reference to the construction of works ; the length of new line authorised by these acts was as follows, viz.:—l9 miles in England and Wales, 76 miles in Scotland, and 91 miles in Ireland. In 1846 270 railway acts were passed, authorising the construction of 4 : 538 miles of railway, and the raising of 132,617,368/. of capital; in 1847 190 acts, authorising 1,350 miles, and 39,460,128/. ; in 1818 85 acts, authorising 371 miles, and 15,274,237/. ; in 1849 34 acts, authorising 16 miles, and 3.911,331/. ; in 1850 31 acts, authorising 8 miles and 4,115,6321.; in 1851 61 acts, authorising 135 miles and 9,558,275/.; in 1852 51 acts, authorising 214 miles and 4,333,834/. ; in 1553, 106 acts, authorising 940 miles and 15,517,601/. ; in 1854, 71 acts, authorising 482 miles and 9,211,602/. ; in 1855, 73 acts authorising 363 miles and 9,192,0381. ; making a total of 875 railway acts in 10 years, authorising 8,446 miles of railway and 243,187,0161. of capital to be raised. The report then adverts to the nature of the bills promoted in the session of 1855, and states that it would be recollected, that in 1853, the London and South-Western Railway Company opposed a bill promoted by the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway Companies for a railway termed the Devon and Dorset Railway ; and that this bill was thrown out by the House of Commons, upon a pledge being given by the London and South- Western Railway Company that they would introduce a bill in the following session for a condonation of their line to Exeter. But having obtained theirobject, the London and South-Western Railway Com pany repudiated their pledge. Consequently, when the company brought' forward a bill for other objects iti - 1855, the Rouse of Commons referred the consideration of the bill to a committee of nearly the same memb3rs to whim the Devon and Dorset Railway Bill had been referred in 1853. This committee inserted clauses into their bill, by which the company were bound, under the penalty of a stoppage of their dividends, to introduce into and nu, their best endeavours to pass through Parliament a bill for a narrow gauge line to Exeter. With regard to level crossings proposed in railway bills, the report states that in considering the subject it is neces sary to bear in mind that level crossings are a source of danger, and that as many as 35 persons unconnected with the railways were killed at level crossings and six persons were injured during the year 1855. It may also be observed that level crossings entail a considerable permanent ex pense on a railway company, from the necessity of main taining signals, lodges, gates, and gatekeepers. It was, however, impossible to frame any rules by which the in specting officers could be exclusively guided in making their reports, as each case involved many special circum stances ; but they endeavoured as far as possible to ad here to the following general principles, viz. :-1. That in all cases where the engineering difficulties would be slight, so that the expense of erecting a bridge would not materially differ from the sum of the cost of providing and the capitalisation of the annual cost of maintain ing signals, lodges, gates, and gatekeepers, the level cross ing should not be recommended, unless the erection of a bridge would, from the general nature of the district, seas ibly.interfere with the local traffic. 2. That in cases of unimportant roads, where the engineering difficulties and expenses entailed by a bridge would be considerable, the level crossing should be recommended. 3. That in the case of important roads and streets, where tho traffic was large, the level crossing should not be recommended unless the construction of a bridge involved very special difficulties. The number of level crossings proposed by the bills which became acts amounted to 237, and of these 102 level crossings were authorised. In a few cases of thoroughfares, along which a large number of foot passengers passed, but where the traffic of vehicles, &c., was small, the level crossing was retained for ve hicles, a bridge being erected 'for the foot pas sengers. The total length of line authorised by Parlia ment clown to the end of 1855 amounted to 11,316 miles ; but of this 1,495 miles have been abandoned by subsequent acts or by warrant under the authority of the Commission ers of Railways, and consequently there remain 12,8 51 miles for which the Parliamentary powers which were ob tained have not been repealed. Of these, 8,230 miles were open at the end of 1855, and 4,571 miles, which have re ceived the authority of Parliament, remain to be opened. The length of railway authorised in England and Wales was 9,486 miles, in Scotland 1,541 miles, and in Ireland 1,824 miles; making together 12,851 miles. The length of railway open in England and Wales on the 31st of December, 1855, was 6,210 miles, in Scotland 1,083 miles, and in Ireland 987 miles ; together, 8,280 miles ; leaving the length of line authorised but not open in Eng land and Wales 3,276 miles, in Scotland 458 miles, and in Ireland 837 miles. The length of railway opened in the United Kingdom previous to Decem ber, 1343, was 2,036 miles. In 1814, 204 miles of rail way were opened ; in 1845, 29d miles ; in 1846, 606 miles ; in 1847, 803 miles ; in 1848, 1,182 miles ; in 1849, 869 miles ; in 1850, 625 miles; in 1851, 269 miles ; in 1852, 446 miles ' • in 1853, 350 miles : in 1851, 368 miles ; and in 1855, 226 miles • showing an increase of 6,244 miles in 12 years. Of the 4,571 miles authorised but not made, the compulsory powers for the purchase of land have been allowed to expire in respect of 2,497 miles, which it is pro bable will never be made. The total amount of money authorised to be raised by railway companies by shares and on loan, to the end of 1855 amounted to 374,971,9661., of which 297,583,2811. had been raised, leaving 77,338,682/. to be raised. There are no means of ascertaining hew much of this sum is apportioned to the lines of railway for which the Parliamentary powers have expired, but it may be assumed approxi mately that from 30,000,00/. to 40,009,0031. of this amount would have been applied to those portions of rail way, and that it will not, therefore, be now raised. Of the 8,297 miles open for traffic, at the end of 1855, 6,415 miles were on the narrow gauge, 657 on the broad gauge of 7ft., 206 on the mixed gauge of 7ft. and 4ft. 8. inches, and 979 miles on the Irish gaugb of sft. 3 inchee. Tne number of miles of single line was 1,345 in England, 234 in Scotland, and 570 in Ireland-total, 2,169 mile:. Of these, 1,320 miles are on the -narrow gauge, 209 miles on the broad gauge, 72 miles mi. the mixed gauge, and 568 miles on the Irish gauge. It 'appears that the length of the new lines opened for traffic during the year 1855, in cluding 17 miles of line belonging to private individuals, amounted to 243 miles ; of these, 235 miles were laid with only one line of rails. The single lines were only allowed to be opened upon an understanding that not more than one engine in steam should bo allowed at one and the same time upon the single line, or upon defined parts thereof. These regulations, if faithfully carried into effect , preclude the possibility of collision on single, lines, but at the same time they prevent a large traffic from being carried on by means of a single line. The report mentions that agreements authorised by Par liament, by which one company undertakes to work the line of another company, or by which the interchanges of traffic is facilitated, are becoming very numerous. In the case of six distinct lines of railway opened during the year 1855, the lines were to be worked, under Parliamentary authority, by a company owning a live in connection with them ; and seven other companies appear to have entered into working arrangements without the sanction of Parlia ment, viz., the East Grinstead Railway is worked by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, without there being any special power in the coaspany's act. The Wimbledon and Croydon Railway is worked by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, the act having authorised tho company to enter into arrange ments with the London and South-Western Railway Com pany. The Bideford Extension Railway is worked by Mr. Brassey, the act having authorised the company to enter into arrangements with the North Devon Railway Com pany. The Coleford, Monmouth, Usk, and Pontypool Railway is worked by the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway Company, the act having authorised the company to use a portion of the Newport, Aberga venny, and Hereford Railway. The object of these work , ing arrangements is to create that identity of interest be tween the several companies which is caused by an amal gamation ; but while they place the working of the small line under the control of the larger company, they appear to provide a better security that the local traffic of the smaller line will be more cared for and developed than if it were entirely merged into the larger concern. These agreements are generally framed in such a manner as to render it the direct interest of the company working the line to develope the traffic. There is il - class of agreements between railway companies which do net *me before the Legiilature, and which hale been devised with a view to produce the same effect as amalgamation, in preventing competition between railway companies. Under this class of agreement the railway companies parties to them divide in fixed portions the re ceipts from the traffic between certain specified places, after deducting a sum for working expenses ; and since each railway company that is a party to the agreement derives its share of the receipts, a lth oug h ano th r company may have done the work, this arrangement possesses the evils of a monopoly without furnishing to the railway companies that stimulus to continued exertion in developing the traffic which exists in the case of 'companies working the traffic on their own account, and the absence of which is in the end injurious both to the public and to the proprietors. Some agreements of this nature have- contained a clause binding one of the parties to discourage traffic brought by an independent railway, which might compete with the traffic of one of the other parties to the agreement. An important agreement of this class recently entered into is one between the London and North-Western, the Lancas ter and C o Northern,roC p a at r n l h i il s e N, , North-Eastern, by which t h- Caledonian, E aste tr hn e, arne receipts e tithehp e t 8 N fromo r t Midland, hß t all r British traffic Greatsahffie Rail way be tween London and certain towns in England, and Edin burgh, Glasgow, and other districts in Scotland to the north of these towns, are paid into one fund, and divided in certain fixed proportions. The length of new line reported to be in course of con struction on the 30th June, 1855, was 880 miles ; of these about 170 miles were opened before the 31st December, 1855. The number of persons employed on the 30th June, 1855, upon the railways in course of construction amounted to 38,546, being on the average 4:3.8 per mile. In June, 1849, when 1,5C1 miles of railway were in course of con struction, 103,816 persons were employed upon them, or 69 persons per mile ; in June, 1850, 861 miles were in course of construction, and 58,881 persons were employed on them, or 68.15 per mile ; in June, 1851, 734 miles were in course of construction, and 42,938 persons were employed, being at the rate of 53.49 persons per mile ; in 1834, 889 miles were in course of construction, and 45,401 persons were employed upon them, being at the rates of 51.07 per mile. The money raised by shares and loans for the con struction of railways in 1849 amounted to 29,574,7191. - in van, to 10,522,267/. ; in 1851, to 7,970,171/. ; in 1852, to 15,924,783/. ; in 1853, 9,158,835/. ; in 1854, to 12,152,3711 ; ' a nd lin 185 5 , to 11,514,490 /. making togeth er i n seve n years a total of 97,118 , 3191 ., being at the rate of 32,0031, per mile for the length of railway opened during that period.

WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE-LOOK OUT AT LIVERPOOL. • The July and Chesterfield Stakes introduced some promising "youngsters" to the public, and their future career seems likely to be attended with important re sults. Mr. Howard's unfashionable bred 'un, Drumour, proved that he deserved the high reputation which pre ceded him, and it is much to be regretted that he is not in the Derby. Mr. Howard has been fortunate with his two-yr-olds, and he merit] his good luck, for he endea voured to command it by a liberal expenditure of money. When he sees a nice-looking youngster which is likely to " pay its way," the price does not stop him if he wishes to become the purchaser. Amongst the beaten horses at Newmarket was a magnificent animal called Zuyder Zee, who is likely to be heard of frequently in connection with next year's Derby. He ran a green unprepared horse, and with . him his trainer has a fair chance of renewing the triumphs of the Flying Dutchman. Like all large horse., however, Zuyder Zee requires careful training and nursing. The Chester. field was mainly remarkable for the dead heat which it occasioned, and the ultimate success of Lord Glasgow. There was, too, a match between Anton and the Barba colt, and it is • said that the owner of Anton won upwards of a thousand pounds by the result. Anton, however, is not likely to emulate the fame of his brother Andover, and seems to me to be small and roguish; he bite, however, a good turn-'of speed, but his staying powers are doubtful. The meeting at Worcester wag pleasant enough, but book-makers scarcely found it profitable'. The favourit;;s were in nearly every important instance successful, and the fielders scarcely required any " finessing" on the part of owners of horses to increase their misfortunes. Still, the meeting wound up amidst general expressions of indignation occasioned by certain proceedings con nected with the last race, The Consolation Plate. Five horses were " telegraphed" to start, Indian Queen, for whom Fordhatn weighed, being made the favourite. She was backed at evens against the field, and 3 to 1 was . offered " bar her," odds which were in certain quarters most industriously taken about Primrose. When the horses were saddled no Indian Queen ap peared, and within a few minutes of the start her number was withdrawn from the telegraph. The betting imme diately changed ; and Primrose, against whom 3 to 1 had been laid, was backed at evens, Thus were the bookmakers placed in the hole by a most discreditable proceeding. Until some rule is adopted to prevent praetices of this kind all confidence must be destroyed. It is said that the owner, of Indian Queen could not "get on," and he consequently "scratched his mare ;" his conduct in withdrawing her, however, cannot be justified, for the placing of her number upon the tele graph was in itself a sort of guarantee that. she would start, and the announcement of Fordham for her rider was sufficient to dispel any idea of wrong intentions. Truly the " court of honour " which is supposed to regulate tuff affairs is sadly befouled, and the statue of the Art ful Dodger " faking a clye " should be put up as its pre siding genius. The turf is losing many of its staunch supporters, some of whom it will not miss and others whom it can ill spare. The abuses which journalists are compelled to point out disgust all right-Minded men. To remain silent respecting them, however, is impossible ; and the newspaper reporter has a task not only onerous and irksome in discharging his duties honestly, but has that constant bugbear of the law, an action for libel, continu ally before him. Messrs. Pedley and Pad wick exercised a wise discre tion in withdrawing the action to recover the Burwell Stakes. Report states, however, that the lovers of spurting " disclosures" and those wh3 like to see addi tional disgrace heaped upon the turf are not likely t 3 be disappointed, for the " Cannobie Case" will still be brought into a court of law. The Marquis of Anglesey is going on with his action for libel against the Sunday rinses, because that journal indicated how pernicious was the precedent established by the decision on that case, and perhaps in harsher language than would have been employed on cool deliberation endeavoUred to pro tect the interests of racing men. Mr. Topham will doubtless provide plenty of iport at Liverpool, but the Clerk of the Weather seems to be at odds with him, for in place of the broad sun shine of last week, we have a dreary lowering sky, fitful gusts of wind-and rain, and an atmosphere raw and cold. Should Sprig of Shillelagh be brought out for the Mer sey Stakes, he ought to achieve an easy victory to justi fy the support which be has already received for the Derby. He is a slapping big colt, and an accident only prevented his running at Chester on the occasion of his "first appearance in public." 3.bs. penalty can scarcely destroy her chance for the Lancashire Oaks. Should she not be sent all the way from Danebury, however, the stakes will go to Uzella. According to the "form" which Pretty Boy has recently displayed, he should be capable of p'acing the Bentinck Handicap to the credit side of his owner's account. The next rame in the list is Brother to Grey Tommy, who, however, may be reserved for the Cup. I shall stand Mr. R. I'Ansoi,'s mount for the Trainer's Handicap. The Liverpool Cup, as a betting race, has been spoiled by Typee, who has engrossed nearly the undivided at tention of the ring. That ehe is leniently handicapped is indisputable, and her performances prove how true ara her titles to support. The movements relative to Early Bird are somewhat perplexing. Instead of his present price in the betting, he ought to be at about 5 or 6to 1. Whether he is intended, or not, I am, of course, unable to determine. Should he be meant, he will be a most dangerous opponent to Typee. Early Bird, however, brings to my mind the old proverb which has an ominous reference to picking up. If therunning at Ches ter and Manchester afford any criterion of ability, Typee must now make bolt' One Act and Pretty Boy safe. The only three-yrs•old which I fancy is Goldhill, and I shall select him and Typee do battle for me. For a c ock boat I shall select Lady Tattoo. The 15 Sovs. Sweepstakes I assign to Fisherman. The Licensed Victuallers' Plate has 43 nomination; amongst which the most noteworthy names appear to be Ellermire, Lord Alfred, Grmmlus Esuriens, Ida, and Byrsa. I may be induced to select the first and the last mentioned to "stand on." Until the "numbers are up," however, it is hazardous to make a guess. The Lancashire Produce Stakes seems a "certainty" for Blink Bonny. In the absence of Ellington, West Langton may win the Liverpool St. Leger. —Nuf ced ! A FRESH MAN. July 8.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from prisoners in the Queen's Bench for debt and contempt of court, praying that the funds in the hands of a charity entitled the Prison Debtors' Discharge Society, be applied to the purposes for which that fund was originally in tended. The noble earl proceeded to quote certain cases of hardships connected with our law of imprisonment for debt, one of which was that of a Frenchman who died in prison after an incarceration of 44 years for contempt. It appeared that this French man had been in early life a merchant in London, and that in his absence a rival trader had succeeded in getting him declared a bankrupt. Upon. the Frenchman's return he was highly, indignant at finding himself thus treated, with the consciousness of bis being able to pay his debtors 20s. in the pound. He wan called upon to show his books, but not having kept any he was.committed fur contempt, And there -re mained until the day of his death. Now such a case as that he thought demanded a remedy. Lord CAMPBELL said no doubt there might be many cases of apparently great hardship ; but after all the remedy rested with the parties themselves. They could relieve themselves from the imprisonment by having re course to the proper tribunal, which was empowered to diacharge such parties upon the performance of certain conditions. As to the case of the Frenchman, he thought there must have been some gross exaggeration in the statement. THE CRIMEAN INQUIRY. Lord LUCAN asked Lord Panniure when the report of the board of general officers who presidei over the late court of inquiry at Chelsea would tiO laid on the table ?. He was aware that that rerr.rt was only signed last Friday, and was to be laid before her Majesty for her approval. It might therefore take tome time before it would be ready for presentation to their lordships' house. But still when it was recol lected that we were new in the month of July, and that it was expected that Parliament would be up in about ten days or a fortnight, he did not think it was at all unreasonable to press this question upon the Government. He was only speaking what he believed was the feeling of all the officers concerned when he expressed a hope that that report would be laid before the house upon an early day. Lord PANMURE said it was quite impossible he could state the precise day when the report would be produced before their lordships. It was signed only on Friday last, and he knew it was at present in the hands of the Commander-in-Chief. He deeply re gretted the sadden illness of that gallant officer, which might have the effect of preventing him submitting that report to her Majesty for some time. After her Majesty had considered the report it would be placed in the hands of the Government, He quite agreed with the noble earl that as soon as the Government hal sufficient time to form their opinion upon it they ought to loose no time in laying it before Parliament. The Earl of LUCAN—Has not the report been sub mitted to her Majesty ? Lord PANMURE—It bad not been submitted to her Majesty as late as yeiter lay. The Earl of LUCAN—I am not satisfied with the answer of the noble lord, and I shall, therefore, renew the question on Friday'next. The subject then dropped. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (SCOTLAND) • BILL. Their lordships then went into committee on this bill. After a short discussion the clauses were agreed to, and the bill was reported. STATUTES NOT IN USE REPEAL BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. (LEFT BITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.) The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock. PUBLIC HEALTH BILL. Mr. COWPER moved that the house go into com mittee on this biil. Mr. KNIGHT moved as an amendment that the bill be committed the'. day three months. The Government bad committed a breach of faith enter ed into by them with the house in 1854, when they were promised thst this subject vhould be re opened, and a bill introduced removing the objec tions complained of in the present law. In the follow ing year a select committee was appointed, which heard evidence and prepared a bill founded thereon. He no doubt sh•>uld be told that the bill contained many of the clauses of the bill referred to, but he objected to all the stringent clause 3 of that bill being taken and the re• medial clauses omitted, which were prepared by the select committee as a means of getting rid of the objec tions to the present law. The hon. gentleman entered at great length into the details of the measure before the house, pointing out the objections he had to the various clauses of the bill. Mr. PALK complained of a bill affecting, as this did, important interests being brought in at so late a period of the session, which prevented its provisions from being properly discussed. He had no objection to the bill going into committee, with the understanding that the objectionable clauses should the❑ be struck out. c Mr. W. H. LANGTON (Bristol) had no objection to the bill going into committee, but reserved his right to oppose it at any future stage. Mr. COWPE supported the motion for going into committee. The press of other business had prevented the introduction of the bill at an earlier stage, and he contended it was better to have an instalment of the bill of 1855, referred to by a previous speaker, and clear up ambiguities in the present law, reme ly many of its de fects, and take certain new powers, than for the law to remain for another year in its present unsatisfactory state. The house then would be i❑ a better position to consider the proposed organic changes in the formation and constitution of Boards of Health, and the manner in which the law of 1848 shall be remodelled. By pass• ing the present measure 209 towns would be benefiited, and obtain powers for cleansing which they did not now possess, but which it was desirable should be extended to them. He thought it would be better to go into com mittee and discuss the 200 clauses of the IR seriaatim. Mr. HENLEY said the present bill woMd. not remedy the evils of which the public complained. He assured the house the clauses of the bill would be discu3sed at great length in committee, and considering the late period of the session, it would be a waste of time to pro ceed further with the bill. He approved the house going into committee on the bill. Mr. BAINES asked the house to go into committee on the bill when the President of the Board of Health would not proceed with the objectionable clauses. Mr. GREENE objected to the proposed legislation on this subject, and opposed the house going into com mittee on this bill. Mr. BAR.ROWaIso opposed the motion for going into committee. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said the bill of 1843 was passed in consequence of the cholera, since that time nearly every town in the kingdom had obtained local acts, and it was not necessary that this c)stly central system should be continued for three years, and till the end of the then session of Parliament. He hoped the house would not continue these powers, and he was at a loss to know what the Administrative Reform Association, that was to reform everything, was about—(hear)--that it did not expose this Board of Health job. If the hon. mem ber for Sheffield, in his investigations into our public offices, was to drop in at that little hole of a place In in Parliament street (laughter) where the relative of the Prime Minister presided, he would find that he and his assistants had nothing to do, and that they had to rack their brains to devise something with which to come before Parliament with a semblance of having work to do, and convince the House that there was a neces sity for the continuance of the Board. (Hear, hear.) First, this session, the President of the Board of Health tried physic, and introduced his Medical Bill, which was afterwards withdrawn. Then came the Vaccina- 1 tion Bill, which had also been withdrawn, and next came the present bill, with which the curtain dropped for the present session. (Laughter.) He hoped this would be the last year of the existence of the Board of Health. The house then divided, when the numbers were— For going into committee Against it 73 Majority against the Government —l2 The bill was accordingly rejected amidst loud cheers. Mr. COWPER then said he should rely on the sug gestion that had been thrown eut, and should to-night ask for the continuance of the present law for one year. He defended the conduct of the Board, and said it was his wish to do as much work as be could for the public benefit. COURT OF CHANCERY (I L RELAND) CEIVE.RE- This bill, after some amendments, passed through committee. COURT OF APPEAL IN CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL. This bill also passed through committee. The house then resumed. REGISTRATION OF IL EASES (SCOTLAND) B. This bill VMS read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS.
