IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 6. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The House then went into Committee (progress) on this Bill. Mr. WILLIAMS protested against proceeding further with this Bill, and demanded that it should be with drawn with the view of its being renewed next session. Mr. LABOUCHERE declined to accede to the re quest, and declared that it was not the fault of the Go vernment that the Bill had come down so late. It had been considered by an able Committee of the House of Lords, and as it was calculated to confer vast benefits upon the industry and intellect of the country, be at tached great importance to i t s p assin g without dela y . If the House thought the Bill was calculated to work an improvement, he hoped that it would not interpose any obstacle in the way of its passing this session. He hoped that uo factious opposition would be offered to its further progress. Sir J. GRAHAM disclaimed a desire for any factious opposition, but he did not think that there was any neces sity for Hon. Members to remain mute and leave the Bill to her Majesty's Government in its entirety. Even if they did so, he could not see what prospect there was of pass ing the measure this session. If the other House showed the slightest disposition to differ from the very extensive alterations which had been made in this House it would be quite impossible to get the Bill through. Mr. LA.BOUCHERE was afraid that at least one function of " mutes" was sought to be exercised with re spect to this Bill—that of strangling.—(Laughter.) Sir DE LACY EVANS was sorry for the coarse which had been taken by the Right Hon. Baronet oppo site, and he thought the country ought to know that if the Bill did not pass it would be mainly owing to the op position which that Right Hon. Baronet had offered to it. Sir J. GRAHAM again disclaimed any factious op position to the Bill ; but he was not afraid of taking upon himself the responsibility of endeavouring to en sure a fair and ample discussion to this important mea sure. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that the Government did not seek to complain of factious oppo sition on the part of Honourable Gentlemen opposite, but he pointed out that if discussions were reiterated on every simple point, it would be impossible to pass it this session. Now, that the question of colonial and foreign patents had been abandoned by the Government, the only object which the Bill now em braced was to cheapen and facilitate the obtaining pa tents, and he appealed to the House, as it was almost unanimous on this question, not to defeat the Bill by lengthened and reiterated opposition. Lord PALMERSTON considered the proceedings of the Committee entirely out of order. The objection which had for the last hour been made to this measure was, that the time for its consideration during the pre sent session was too short; and, by way of remedying this evil, Hon. Gentlemen, instead of confining them selves to a consideration of the 18th clause, which was at that moment the subject solely before the Committee, had launched into a discussion of the principle of the Bill. This be deemed to be most disorderly. The Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir J. Graham) had complained of his (Lord Palmerston's) Right Hon. Friend (Ur. Labou chere) having accused Hon. Members who were opposed to this Bill of offering to it a vexatious and factious ob struction. He believed that those who beard his Right Hon. Friend would concur with him (Lord Palmerston) that no accusation of that description had been made by his Right Hon. Friend. He certainly thought it a most disorderly proceeding, that when they were considering the 18th clause of a Bill in Committee they should be called upon to discuss a general question involving the principle of the Bill. On that point the House, he hoped, would allow him to say a few words. His lion. Friend who had just spoken was of opinion, as his words would import, that the law of patents ought to be abo lished, and the conclusion his Hon. Friend therefore drew was, that they ought to withdraw the Bill. If the rejection of the Bill would have the effect of abolishing the patent, law, he could understand that argument, but if tRe only effect would be to leave the law as it was, without the improvement which the present Bill was in tended to make, he could not comprehend it. He ap pealed to the House whether they would not be acting more in accordance with order by going on with the discussion of the clauses of the Bill; and if it should appear that that discussion would occupy more time than the session would afford, then the Bill must of course be postponed, but he certainly was of opinion that if they would at once proceed with the considera tion of the clauses, the Bill still might pass this session. Sir JAMES GRAHAM denied that he was either out of order or had offered any factious opposition to the Bill. His observations were strictly germane with the question before the House. Mr. LABOUCHERE said nothing was further from his intention than to accuse Hon. Members of taking a factions course in opposition to the Bill. All he said was, that if Members persisted iu discussing every clause, and starting general questions upon each, it was appa rent that the Bill could not pass before the close of the serasi on. Mr. W. WILLIAMS condemned the Government for pushing such an important measure through the House at the eleventh hour. He contradicted the statement of Mr. Labouchere that ho was the only Member in the House who was opposed to cheapening the price of ob taining patents. His whole object was to prevent persons obtaining patents for worthless articles. Mr. RICARDO was willing to sacrifice his whole in terests as a patentee, in order that the whole system of the patent laws might be altogether abolished. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that the • Bill left the patent laws entirely where they stood at present, it being confined to legislation in regard to the cost of patents. Mr. HENLEY considered the House had great rea son to complain of the Government. The President of the Board of Trade had thrown the responsibility of delay on the House, but the fact was, the clauses might have been got through by this time had that Right Honourable Gentleman not made certain observations as to Members availing themselves of the forms of the House in order to prolong their opposition.—(Hear.) . ... . _ _ After some further observations, / Sir J. GRAHAM thought it right the public should ' understand that the real cause of the delay was to be at- ' tribuied to the Government. Hon. Members had been I led astray on the subject under discussion by the impu- I tation of motives which were thrown out right and left I ' by the President of the Board of Trade. He hoped the ' irregular discussion would now terminate, and that the House would proceed calmly to , consider the clauses of : - the Bill. , • . Lord PALMERSTON .again accused Sir Ja mes , .. 'Graham Of heing out of order, obseeving that when a charge was disclaimed by, an Hon. Wernher, it was . against the rides-, of , the, House to again refer to the subject. He denied and repudiated the imputation that the Government had obstructed the measure by intro ducing topics which did not belong to the subject under immediate discussion. That charge rested with the othe': side. If the measure did not pass, the public: ' sho , ald know that the fault rested not with the Ge;vernment, but with the Right . Honourable Baronet and those .who took part with him. On theus rested the responsibility, . .and he (Lord Palmerston) 1 . 'w ould not swept it oa the part of her Majesty's Go , „ ,vernment, who were there to do their duty. . Mr.,LABOUCHERE said it was useless going on with .the Bill under the circumstances.—(Cries of " Proceed," and "Go on.") Ho was entirely in the hands of the 'Reuse. If anything had fallen from him to which ob jection might be justly made,, he begged to express his regret, and to withdraw wthit he had said. , 'The avian as amended was then agreed to. ' Clauses 19, 20, 2i, 22, 23,, and 24 were agreed to; and 'after a brief discpssion, ~ Clause 25 was struck out, on the motion of the • ATTORNEY-GENERAL. The remaining clauses, up to the clause which pro vides for the compensation of officers paid by fees in the varioaa patent offices, were agreed to. . On clause 47, Sir J. GRAHAM wished to know the probable amount which would be required to give compensation to persons for loss of office under the Bill. He en tertained a strong opinion that the patent laws would soon disappear from the statute-book, and supposing that opinion to be correct, the compensation awarded to these officers, instead of coming out of the funds voluntarily paid by persons who wanted patents, would fall on''.the public purse. He confessed that he had himself made a mis take in regard to the compensation of the six clerks in Chancery, but the error he had committed ought to act as a caution to the Government not to proceed with the clause without some consideration. The ATTORNEY.GENERAL Raid, as many of the ' old officers 'would be employed under the new system, ' the amount of compensation would be very small. _ Mr.. C. LE 'IS also considered that the compensation would be very limited in amount. Mr. W. WILLIAMS thought the Government ought to give a more explicit answer to the question. He re collected that the Six Clerks' Bill was brought in at the ead of a session and pushed on with great haste. I n • reply to a question which he pat, one of the Government ' iotthat day answered that the compensation under the -am would be between 500/. and 700 L a-year; but the fact was that these clerks received about 7,0001. part ot the Consolidated Fund: The most r e p rehensible k 4r t of the proceeding was, that the compensation was Pai l f , s t s even years after their death. - fu r; ,a cme further discussion, , • 50.. ? 14 a tg, would Consider the subject, OtICHERE promised that the Government e subject, and state what alterations . they proposed • In the clause on bringing up the report.

Mali said he should have acme objections THE SUN, to raise to the report to-morrow, as there were many Members out of town. who could not return in time to take advantage of the ballot, but a rumour had gone abroad which he was anxious now to refer to. It was said that Cabinet Ministers were to have prece dence of other Members on state occasions. Now no such distinction ought to be recognised, nor was it recognised at the last Coronation, for then it was sup posed that Members attended upon the Sovereign not as Ministers, but as representatives of the people, who all stood on an equal tooting. After a few words from Mr. M. J. O'CoNNELL and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the motion was agreed to, and the report ordered to be printed. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A messenger from the Lords brought up the following Bills, which their Lordships had agreed to:— Metropolitan Interment. Constabulary Force (Ireland). South Holland Drainage Acts Amendment.

The remaining orders were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twenty minutes to Six o'clock. THE TOTAL ECLIPSE IN NORWAY. The Scotsman of Saturday last contains an inte resting communication from the Astronomer-Royal for Scotland, who proceeded to the western coast of Norway, for the express purpose of witnessing the solar eclipse of July 28. This account of the re markable phenomenon is important, not only as being the first which has appeared in this coun try from any quarter in which the eclipse was total, but as being probably the only account which we shall have from all that part of the line of com plete obscuretion, bad weather seeming to prevail everywhere else in the neighbourhood., which was, moreover, one that could hardly have been reached but for the unusual assistance which way obtained in the present case. The paper is as follows: ~ After all that has lately appeared in print in va rious places, it is perhaps hardly necessary to refer to the extreme importance of a total eclipse being ob served at that narrow strip of the earth's surface where it is quite total. There it is everything, elsewhere it is nothing. That is, there, a darkness approaching to that of night is experienced, and a host. of interesting phenomena then, and then only, rever,A themselves, and furnish the only clue, which .we can ever hope for, to the physical nature of the :light and heat giving surface of our sun, with the state! of which the whole of our well-being is so intimately bound up. But elsewhere than on that contracted line, but 100 or 150 miles broad, though the eclipse le! a large one, still if the smallest particle of the sun . 's disc be left unobscured, there is still the brightness of day, and none of those phenomena are displayed. " The places where an eclipse will be total, are, in the present state of astronomy, easily a ia,d accurately computed beforehand, so that observers. may choose their stations with certainty. After full considera tion of what was preparing, and was likely to be done elsewhere, there seemed a probability of the western coast of Norway being less effectively occupied than any other part of the line ; by reason, pralbably, of its inaccessible nature, caused by the absence of any di rect means of public conveyance by sea or land. But, at the same time, the eclipse happening e arlier there than in any other part of Europe, would r ender it, in so far, the most eligible station of all. A. representa tion was therefore made by the Astronom•?,r Royal for Scotland to the Commissioners for Nortt tern Light houses, on the important results which might accrue to the science of astronomy from the total ei Aipse being well observed on the western coast of Norm eiy, and the Commissioners, with their usual readiness be do all that they fairly and properly could towards the promo tion of science, without detriment to their.own imme diate interests, examined their programme of work for the season, and finding that their steam-vessel would be employed at almost the very time of the eclipse on a point in the Shetland Isles, orrly 20 hours distant from the desired part of the coast of Norway, kindly expressed their readiness to concur in the general object proposed, so far as the means of conveyance were concerned. The next step, therefore, to insure this liberality being turned to good account, was to provide a sufficiency of ob servers and of instruments. The former requisite was eminently secured by the Rev. Dr. Robinson, the well-known astronomer of the Armagh Observa tory, having engaged to join the party, and to him the general direction was unanimously awarded. The latter desideratum was supplied by making application to the Hydrographic Department of the Admiralty, which, in the person of its chief, Sir F. Beaufort, not only offered the loan of any of the royal navy's surveying instruments, thus rendering the Scottish expedition more complete in this respect than perhaps any other, but prevailed on the Board of Admiralty to procure through the Swedish ambassador, from the Governor General of Norway, full leave for the party to land with their instruments on any part they pleased of the coast of Norway, of which, moreover, he procured an accurate manuscript chart. " These matters, therefore, being arranged, the as tronomical party being taken on board as the vessel passed on its way to the Shetland Isles, and the in spection of the light-houses there being completed, a rapid run was successively accomplished to the Norwegian shore, and a station was selected on one of the outlying Bue Islands in lat. 61 degrees 20 minutes. This position not only placed us in the centre of the line of shadow, but gave us a clear horizon in the direction of the sun at the time of the eclipse, and removed us suffi ciently far from the great meridian chain of moun tains, running along the western coast of Norway, and gathering about them that morning a multitude of clouds, to make up, as it seemed, by an unprecedented deluge of rain, for the unusally long space of uninter rupted fine weather, which had been experienced before our arrival. The instruments were landed at an early hour, and there were sufficient glimpses of the sun through the clouds to obtain the necessary observations for time and for latitude, and before the commencement of the eclipse each observer was told off with his instruments prepared, and with a code of instructions. These, too, were so arranged that by division of labour it was hoped that, although the im portant part of the eclipse was of so short a duration, and the number of phenomena to be noted so many and various—that yet none of them, whether refer ring to the purely astronomical bearings of the case, or to cosmical or terrestrial physics, could be well lost sight of—that is, weather only permit ting, but this was by no means so favourable as could have been wished. Still, however, the commencement of the eclipse was very fairly observed, and sufficient was seen during its progress to enable the observers to take accurate notes of some spots on the sun, and of mountains on the edge of the moon, so as to be prepared to state their degrees of connexion, as regards place, to those wondrous tongues of light, and the variations of the corona, the moat inexpli cable, and the most important of all the phenomena presented during a total eclipse. Further, the in stant of complete obscuration was observed very ac curately, and some interesting features were re marked, tending to explain anomalies perceived in former total eclipses, and indicating a rapid fluctuation in the degree of brightness of the sun's surface. Imme diately atter this, however, the clouds became so very thick that the emersion of the sun was not seen at all, a nd heavy rain begi nn i ng soon after, continued through the rest of the evening. But the terrestrial pheno mena, to which more attention could be turned, on the loss of the celestial ones, were of a nature abun dantly sufficient to satisfy any soul capable of entering into and appreciating the awful and the sublime. As the totality approached, the air felt sensibly colder at eve ry moment, and the darkness plainly increased; the clouds seemed to lower, and under the sun was seen an appearance of rushing descending streams of them ; while the sea-birds appeared by their noise to be gathering around the rocks for their nightly rest or for shelter. The difference of illumination had also become very marked on the mountains at different distances, those far from us being brought out with a vividness and diiinctness Which made our own increasing gloom the more ob servable. Suddenly, at the moment of totality, the very extremity of darkness seemed to fall upon us. iN cim t e a d o l l i r th w e e vr, greaterabsolutely, f for th the e h horizon nc leftoud whichs oen a strip of sky extending high,from N AV. to E.N.E., and two or three degreesand which at this moment became of a dark lurid orange red on one side to greenishon th colour, verging from _other, and enabled u s barely to see each other by a faint unearthly ' sort STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY,—The prevailing spirit of this day's market has been of a satisfactory character. Though extremely cautious, and not inclined to exceed their previous limits, the buyers of yarns and goods have yet shown a rather better disposition for business at the rates of last week; and, at the same time, both spinners and manufacturers, though wishful to keep under contract, are enabled to manifest fully as much firmness as they did a week ago. The buying has been of a general character in goods and yarns, and of con siderable aggregate amount, effected generally at the full previous rates, and attended with a hardening tendency in some articles. For low mule and water twist, extra hard twisted Mediterranean yarns, and throstle warps up to No. 28's, for ith and 36-inch cloths, domes tics, T's, and long cloths, there continues to be a demand, which keeps the market extremely bare. The Germans still show much hesitation, yet their timid operations are of fair extent on the whole. Last week, there might be said to be no commissions in the market on Eastern account; to-day, howe►er, some orders, attracted by the low point to which prices have fallen, have been received by the agency houses, and pur chases of shirtings to a fair amount have taken place. There has been a little inquiry also for Indian yarns of some counts. There continues to be a moderate call for fine yarns on Russian account, and also for some numbers of doubled. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a steady demand for flannels to-day, without any change of prices from the preceding week. Wool is firm, at the last week's quotations. MACCLESFIELD, TUKSDAY.—Nothing has taken place since Friday's report to give an impulse to business in silk manufactured goods, though some of our principal manufacturing houses have begun to put out their pat tern warps for the approaching autumnal season. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The aspect of business in our Piece Hall to-day has not varied much from that of last Saturday. Low lastings are still inquired for; but the sale of other descriptions of goods is somewhat limited. We cannot note any improvement in the demand for yarn, which meets a heavy sale, at late rates. The transactions in wool are far from extensive, and, in con sequence of the depression, it may be purchased in rather easier terms. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market has been rather dull to-day; but the woollen trade generally continues active, and stocks keep low. A fair business doing iu the warehouses, both for home and foreign trade. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—III our market to-day there has been an increased activity upon last week's. In the Cloth Hall a good business has been done in blacks and mixtures of the middle qualities. Fancies, of new and seasonable qualities, have been in demand. Stocks in the Cloth-hall are at present low, indeed much more so than is usual at this time of the year. The shipping trade at present is quiet. The market in wools has been rather more brisk than last week. BIRMINGHAM, -.MONDA.T..-...1n OUT list Rale° of the iron trade we mentioned that expectations were enter tained of the gradual giving out of such orders as had been withheld at quarter day, at the prices current before that time ; and we are happy to say they are now being realised. During the past week, the demand has become more active, and specifications are more freely obtained, though unfortunately there is still no tendency towards improved prices. Throughout every branch of the business, complaints of losses and want of remuneration are most energetic. Confidence, indeed, is fast giving way to a feeling of anxiety for the result of the present unmodified production under such ruinous circumstances. Still the aggregate employment of our mills and forges is again about equal to that of the same period in the last quarter. For rails also there are considerably more contracts in the market; but the figures at which they are required render them either unworthy of notice or altogether im practicable. We have not heard that more than one furnace has been put out of blast, though at some the make has been restricted.—Aris's Birmingham Gazette. THE NEW SCREW STEAMER PROBE. The advance of improvement in the manufacture of merchant vessels, says a correspondent, is in no instance mere strikingly developed than In the building of auxiliary screws in the present year. We have had occasion to take notice of several this year, which have attracted great attention, but in no instance have the lines been so fine, or has the model eli cited such general gratification, as in that of the Pbcebe. This fine vessel, of 600 tons register and 150 horse power, was launched on Saturday last, from the building yard of Messrs. Alexander Denny and Brother, of Dumbarton, who appear rather favourite builders with our Liverpool folk; and she certainly does thorn every credit, as she promises, from her peculiar model and greater proportionate power than some of the steamers lately built, to outrival all her predecessors in the Medi terranean trade. Although remarkably yacht-like in ap pearance, as she gracefully entered the water, still, for strength of construction, her builders have challenged all competitors. Her plates throughout are double rivetted, and she has a larger scantling than any other steamer we have seen. Her commander, Captain P. P. Brenan, who is also a large proprietor, expects to have her in Liver pool this month, when she will be laid upon her intended station, via.,—Malta, Syra, Constantinople, and Smyrna,' and from an experience of upwards of twenty years in the trade we have no doubt he will make the most of her. She is the first of an intended line of new iron screw steamers for the Levant, under the management of Messrs. Preston and Watson, 'of this town, who have adopted all the most recent improvements in naval archi tecture, and who seeing the daily increasing demands of the trade are by this means securing their former prominent position in the Turkey trade. Messrs. Tulloch and Denny, of Dumbarton, are putting the engines into the Phoebe, and, on close examination, they have been pronounced one of the compacteat and neatest jobs of the kind ever turned out of the Clyde, and hei proprietors have every confidence, with all their applianees, of receiving the liberal support of the shippers to the Mediterranean. She is 175 feet long, 26 feet beam, 15i feet deep, is barque rigged, of a peculiar rakish appearance, which is improved by her bow being planned so as to appear high out of the water— nearly straight, and particularly light—an improvement on the late vessel, for which we are indebted to her practi cal commander,Captain I'. P. Brenan. Her screw has only two blades, but it appears particularly strong. She has comfortable houses on deck for the officers and engineers, and she has also a bath-room on deck, which is de servedly appreciated as a great luxury in trading to oriental shores. Her cabins were large and spa cious ; in fact, the berths appear to us so airy and commodious that passengers must give her a preference—their ventilation, comfort, and elegance being superior in every respect. The la dies' cabin is a little drawing-room in miniature—is elegantly furnished; that also has a comfortable bath room attached. She is divided into tour air-tight cum partments, and is calculated to carry 650 tons of goods, and 220 tons of coals, besides twenty passengers. From the energetic character of her agent, and the great par tiality shown by old bands in the trade to the captain, that success is prophesied to the Pi , cebe which her spirited o ri g inators deserv e. —Liverpool Mercury. We are happy to be able to announce that two distinguished Hon. Members, Mr. Hume and Mr. Roebuck, who have been absent from their Parliamentary duties through severe indisposition, are so far recovered as to be able to resume their duties this session. Both gentlemen were present in their seats in the House yesterday morning. LEGAL AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COM PANY.—At a public meeting of proprietors in this company, which took place on Tuesday at the offices in Fleet-street, Mr. Crowder, QC., wa elected a'director in lieu of Sir Francis Simpkinson, Q.C., deceased. LONDON, flight ; small hand lamps 50 or 60 yards off in a hollow were as visible as in a dark night, and with their red colour, contrasting strangely with the gene ral green hue of everything immediately around. But the appearance of the country seen through that lurid opening under the clouds was the most appalling. Though standing in the centre of the shadow, we could yet, by reason of their great height, see the distant peaks of the lofty Jostedals and Dovrefjeld mountains, still illuminated by the rays of the sun descending upon them from on high, but we were shut out into outer darkness. Some approximation to the appearance might be obtained by watching the opportunity of a similar configuration of clouds in the north from the Calton Hill during a midsummer's mid night, but still it would be only an approximation, for never have we observed all the lights of heaven ' and earth so entirely confined to one narrow strip along the horizon, never that peculiar greenish hue, and never that appearance of outer darkness in the place of observation, and of excessive distance in the verge of the horison (caused in this case by the hills there being more highly illumi nated as they receded, by a less and less eclipsed sun ; while in a morning or evening sky they are, on the contrary, most in the shade, and therefore are dark and unnaturally thrown forward). Though none of us were unmoved with gratitude at having been allowed to witness such a spectacle, though we should have been glad to have enjoyed its teaching for a longer space of time, and should have been alarmed, indeed, if it had not happened as it did, and with such wonderful accuracy to the computed time, yet a certain feeling of relief was experienced when the lurid streak in the sky suddenly changed to yellow, when the clouds brightened up, and the dark ness seemed to be wafted visibly away to the south east. The sea-birds that had stopped their screaming during the darkness now re-appeared ; but the wild Norsemen of those rocky isles, who had congregated so curiously r,round us during the commencement of the eclipse, when the light returned, where were they ? gone to hide themselves in their huts, thinking that they were in the jaws of destruction, amongst the stones of darkness and in the shadow of death. Such we heard afterwards was the general feeling amongst them all along the coast, even beyond the limits of total ob scuration. Horses and oxen began to wend their way homeward, and poultry to fly up to their roosts ; but one farmer informed us that an amusing scene of confusion took place when the fowls found the dark ness coming on so quickly that they could not all get placed on their perches in time ; and then, again, when they found by the quickly returning light that they had had a false alarm. We also heard that there had been over all that line of the country such excessive rain that day that our party, enabled by the lighthouse steamer to take up the peculiar position we did, was probably the only one that had had the good luck to make any accurate observations ; a circumstance the more fortunate, inasmuch as that was the earliest part of Europe visited by the shadow in its progress from west to east." 'Y THURSDAY . • r - ' EVENING, HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The mortality exhibits a continued tendency to in crease; the deaths in London, which in the three pre ceding weeks of July were successively 881, 873, 956, rose in the last week to 1,010. The average number of deaths in the ten corresponding weeks of 1841-50 was 1,028, and with the same rate of mortality amongst a population equal to the present number of inhabitants it would have been 1,131; but excluding 1849 from the account, in the corresponding week of which year cholera had raised the mortality from all causes to nearly 2,000, the number of deaths registered last week does not differ materially from the average thus ob tained and corrected for increase of population. While the persons who sank under diseases of the respiratory organs were 84—almost exactly the same number as in the preceding week, whieh showed a de cided reduction—and while phthisia, one of the tubercu lar class, has fallen to 122, the complaints classed as " epidemic" continue to increase rapidly. Epidemics were fatal in the two previous weeks in 209 and 282 cases respectively, and in last week the number rose to 333. This increase arises from diarrhea, the growing pre valence of which, concurrently with the approach of autumn, is shown by the numbers of the last five weeks —namely, 23, 53, 64, 83, and (in the week ending last Saturday) 143. The number now returned does not exceed the usual weekly amount at this period during the last five years; but it would appear from a review of the last decennial period that the fatality of this disease among children has of late years increased to an enor mous extent. _ It will be seen thatithe registrars specify local nui sances in connexion with the appearance of diarrheas in particular instances. A child died of it, as reported in the last return, in a house in Payne-street, Islington; another has since been registered, and now the father and a third child are suffering. The smell of a drain, which the registrar describes as " overpowering," is con sidered the exciting cause. Twelve fatal cases of cholera were registered in the previous week, and the same number appears in the present. The following are the particulars: — In Paddington, St. John, at 3, Market-street, on the 29th of July, the daughter of a servant, aged two months, died of " English cholera (40 hours)." In the same sub-district at 18, Cambridge-place, on the 30th of July, the daughter of a servant, aged one year, " cholera infantum (4 days)," post mortem. In Chelsea, north-west sub-district, in " The Vale," on the 28th of July. the son of a gentleman, aged five months, '• cholera infantum." In the sub-district of Charing-cross, in the workhouse, on the 28th of July, the widow of a brewer, aged 44 years, " cholera (3 days)." Mr. Leonard states that " this case was brought from No. 16, Bedfordbury. Since the sanitary inspection in the spring of 1849 the cesspool has been removed, and a trapped pan supplied with water upon a drain has been substituted. The supply of water is good in quantity, but bad in quality, and the butt is uncovered, while the dustbin, which con tains decomposing vegetable matters, is also uncovered. The rooms, though small, are clean. The patient, who was formerly a nurse in Guy's, St. Thomas's, and Charing-cross Hospitals, was of regular habits. Diarrhoea continues prevalent. In sub-district of Berwick-street, at 7, Rupert-street, on the. 26th of July, the keeper of an eating-house, aged 42 years, " English cholera (3 days), delirium cam tre more (2 days), apoplexy."

At 8, Rose-alley, Bishopsgate, on the 29th of July, the son:of a labourer, aged 11:months, " choleraic diarrhcea (3 days)." Mr. Spencer describes this as " a close and crowded neighbourhood; the parents of the deceased are Irish, and with his wife and four children, and his sister (a widow) with two children, making altogether nine persons, occupy a single apartment. In sub-district of Hackney-road, in Birdcage-walk, on the 30th of July, the son of a licensed victualler, aged 3 months, " cholera infantum (4 days)."

In Spitalgelds, at 63, Wentworth-street, on the 28th orJuly, the daughter of a labourer, aged 2 month!, " infantile cholera (4 days), cerebral congestion (24 hours)." The number of deaths from cholera now returned is not greater than is usual in a week at the end of July in ordinary years; and it appears from the above list that, with the exception of three cases, which occurred to persons between 40 and 50 years, the sufferers were children of very tender age.

The improvement thus effected will be readily appreciated, whether regarded as a mere public conve nience, or as having changed to an aspect of comfort and reapsctahility the face of a neighbourhood hitherto no torious for the squalid wretchedness of its appearance, and for its unhealthycharacter. Victoria- street now forms a short and pleasant line of communication, some 80 feet in width, between two of the principal western thorough fares of the metropolis. It commences directly iu front of Westminster Abbey, and runs in a straight line to the Vauxhall-bridge-road—the towers of the old Abbey, and the new Houses of Parliament, bounding the vista at one end, and the large buildings forming Shaftesbury terrace the other. At the present moment the new road shows only a rough surface of sharp granite stones, flanked by a broad pathway on either side; the pros pects it commands are glimpses of dirty back kitchens and sculleries, broken brick walls, with here and there a languishing effort at gardening. But this appearance is temporary, almost the only efforts yet made having been to complete the means of communication. In as short a time as possible it is intended to erect a line of large and comfortable dwelling-houses, to be built upon the principle generally adopted in Scotland and upon the Continent, of dividing the houses into " flats"—a prin ciple by which two or more families may be accommo dated on each floor in separate sets of apartments, each set affording the same privacy and convenience now attainable in London only by distinct self-contained houses. It is also intended by the Westminster Im provement Commissioners to provide for the families who, by the creation of the new road, have been dis lodged from their former retreats in this neighbourhood, by the erection in Victoria-street of model lodging houses, capable of containing upwards of ninety fami lies at a weekly rent of 4s. for each ; and from these houses a revenue of ten per cent. on the capital invested is confidently expected. The proceedings attending the ceremony of declaring Victoria-street open for public traffic commenced yes terday by the performance of Divine service in West minster Abbey. The Improvement Commissioners, the clergy of Westminster, the children of the four chartered schools—the Grey, the Green, the Blue, and the Black Coat Schools of Westminster—and many noblemen and gentlemen of distinction, attended Divine service, and at its conclusion assembled together in the western nave of the Abbey, where they formed into procession, and thence issued into the street which was about to be de clared open to the public. The procession passed on the north side of the street to the terminus of the Vauxhall bridge-road, where the children of the several schools formed into a square. Sir Edwin Pearson, the chief commissioner, then declared that Victoria-street was henceforth opened as a public thoroughfare and dedi cated to the public—accompanying the declaration with a suitable expression of hope that it might prove of per manent benefit to the district through which it passed, and to the public generally. The barriers were imme diately removed, and the public allowed to pass amidst the cheers of a vast concourse of people who had as sembled to witness the ceremony. The " National An them" was sung by the children, and the ceremony con cluded by the firing of a royal salute. A grand dijeuner had been announced in the cards of invitation to take place in a tent erected for the purpose in the neighbourhood of the road, but about an hour and a halt remained till the hour of its commencement (olio o'clock) arrived. To while away the time the whole party proceeded to visit the chartered schools of West minster, the pupils of which had taken part in the day's proceedings. The halls and playgrounds ; school-rooms, and dormitories of these ancient and admirable institu tions were minutely inspected, and apparently with great satisfaction. A visit was also paid to the new church and adjoining schools of St. Stephens, the splendid offer ing of Miss 3urdett Coutts to the relief of the spiritual necessities of Westminster. The party then returned to the tent, where the dejeu ner was prepared. Sir Edwin Pearson took the chair, and was supported on the right by the Earl of Carlisle, the Rev. E. Jennings, Sir R. Inglis, Sir De Lacy Evans, the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth, Hon. J. C. Talbot, &c., and on his left by the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord R. Grosve nor, Rev. Edward Repton, Mr. J. Burder, Rev. George Repton, Dr. Southwood Smith, Rev. H. M'Kenzie, Rev. W. Tennant, &c. Among those in the vicinity of the chairman were Messrs. W. Mackenzie, contractor for the works; John Bates, town-clerk of Belfast; F. W. Mount, &c. After the usual loyal toasts, the CHAIRMAN proposed the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, which was ac knowledged by the Rev. E. JENNINGS. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of the Earl of Carlisle," in honour of whom he henceforth called the street which should be erected on the site where they then sat—Carlisle-place. The Earl of CARLISLE said that it had been a real pleasure to him to attend the completing and crowning ceremony of opening Victoria-street. Nobody could tell so well as the chairman on this occasion, or the Noble Lord himself—perhaps he might also include the official gentlemen of the Woods and Forests—the diffi culties and perplexities which had gathered round the early fortuees of the undertaking. They had, however, been successfully encountered, and he now trusted that the work might prove as profitable as it was honourable to its spirited projectors. The area down which the procession had that morning moved was formerly in fested with the worst holes of filthiness and impu rity; henceforth he hoped its noble frontage was des tined to be the abode of industry, comfort, refine ment, education, charity, and piety.—(Hear, hear.) He sincerely hoped that the contrast which would be thus exhibited, which was now witnessed, and which would be still more apparent henceforth, would not only be an indication of the purposes of the projec tors of the road, but might also be held as an emblem of that still higher transformation which he hoped, during the lives of most of those present, would transform the face of the whole metropolis—which would free it of all the defilements by which it was at present disgraced. and substitute the necessary appurtenances to public health, comfort, and decency.—(Hear, hear.) The feel ing of hearty good-will which he (the Noble Lord) felt to this undertaking, he hoped the meeting would allow him to embody in the toast " Success to Victoria street," and with the toast he would couple the name of (heir indefatigable and conscientious chairman (Sir E. Pearson)—(G rest applause.) The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Clergy of West minster," and in giving the toast he alluded to the be nefit which would accrue to the poor of the district from the construction of the road. They had, it was true, destroyed dwellings and displaced occupiers, who were obliged to withdraw to other districts, and to live in houses for which they paid far too much, merely because there was not sufficient accommodation for their population. But to provide a remedy had occupied much of the attention of the Commissioners. Many plans had been proposed, but the want of public encou ragement had prevented their accomplishment. The subject, however, could not be neglected, and he now hoped that with the aid of the public they would soon be able to erect lodging-houses for the accommodation of poor families which should meet the requirements of the case, and which would yet prove remunerating as a commercial enterprise. There would be no feeling on the part of the occupants of these houses that they were receiving eleemosynary aid.—(Hear, hear.) The new street would give light, health, air, and a wholesome soil—inestimable benefits to a large and laborious popu lation. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of the Earl of Shaftesbury," and as an indication of the high esteem in which the Improvement Commissioners held his perso nal virtues and piety, he would henceforth name the street—in which a church, which was shortly to be erected, should be placed—" Ashley-street." The Earl of SHAFTESBURY congratulated the Com missioners on the success which had attended their efforts. The Noble Lord alluded to the inroads which were made by such improvements upon the dwellings of the lowest portion of the inhabitants, which he com pared to channels cut for admitting currents of air; b u t it was necessary that they should make provision for those who were displaced. The hardships suffered by many of these unfortunates in removing were such that he most earnestly prayed he might never see such misery again. His Lordship hoped that they might go on in the career of improvement and extend the arrangements which were now made. How beneficial were some of the arrange ments now made for the London poor he would show by instancing the success of the boys employed in blacking shoes in the streets. These boys brought home upwards of 261. a week, one-third of which was devoted to liqui date expenses, one-third was placed in the savings bank, and the remaining third was given to the boys them selves. One of these little shoeblacks had saved so much money in this manner since the month of May that he was enabled to determine upon removing to Australia. The boys were improved financially and socially by be coming industrious members of society.—(hear.) The CHAIRMAN gave " Sir R. Inglis and the Metro politan Improvement Commissioners,' " The Rev. Mr. Repton and the Clergy of Westminster," " Mr. Carter Wood and the Governors of the Chartered Schools of Westminster," and " Mr. Trollope and the Chairman and Committee of Vestries of the parishes of St. Mar garet's and St. John's, Westminster." The dejeuner, including the wines, was provided by the managers of the Freemasons cavern, Great Queen street.

Baylis, of S court, 7 house, Cheapside, Birmingham, sufered for more than eight years from a dread fully ulcerated limb ; during a great p ort i on of that time she was under medical treatment at Birmingham, where she was frequently told that amputation must ultimately take place, and it was impossible to heal the wound. However, under the ad vice of her friends she tried Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which have effected a perfect cure, and she strongly recom mends others similarly afflicted to use them after this proof of their efficacy in one of the worst cases.—Sold by all Drug gists and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. PROPOSRD PARK FOR FINFBURY.—The project of a new p for this extensive metropolitan distiiot, with its half-million of inhabitants. is at present in abeyance, Lot from any hostility in the Government, who, it is fully un derstood, have determined on making the park, bur, because the authorities at the office of the Woods and Forests de cline the r, sponsibilitv of preparing the notices and making other necessary arrangements without receiving specific in structions from the Premier or the Chancellor of the Exche quer on the subject. These official delays are in this case the more to be regretted.- as, unless the notices are delivered forthwith, there is a great probability that a large portion of the ground intended to form the proposed park will be taken for building sites— a proceeding hitherto delayed in expecta tion of the plan receiving the sanction of Parliament before the close of the session. Tue subject has been strongly urged on the attention of Lord Seymour by the borough,Ale,mbers, and there is yet time for effecting a satisfactory arrtingeirtent before Ministers leave town.--Morning Advertiser.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE LONDO , AND NORTH- WESTERN RAILWAY. We hd.v, reason believe that were the London and North-Western Railway Company to divide, among the shareholders in the beginning of 1852, all that they will have fairly earned in the current half-year, they would be in a position to pay 8 per cent., but as it i 3 not likely that they will deem it advisable to pay more than 6 per cent., the sum, after paying that amount of dividend, which they will carry over to the following half-year , will exceed 200,0001. THE RAILWAY TRA FFICS .—Th e traffics for the p ast week, so far as th e y are k nown, are gre ater than ever. The London an d N ort h-W estern receipts exceed 66„500/., being 15,0001. more than the corresponding week of last year. The Great Western traffic is 29,2704, which, with the exception of the week of the Windsor. Cattle Show, is much higher than before. It is 11,0001. above the corresponding week of 1850. The receipts for the London and South-Western amounted to 19,1301., which we believe is higher than the re ceipts of the corresponding week last year by more than 5,0001., though the receipts for the latter week have not reached us.
