around that it was only so far as raising stock was con cerned that the duty was to be taken off. The question then arose whether malt could be extensively used for raising cattle with greater profit to the farmer than he could obtain by the employment of other food. Even about the year 1845 an hon. member introduced a bill for the purpose of permitting farmers to use malt for the purpose of feeding stock. In consequence of this inquiries were instituted at Glasgow, under the superintendence of Dr. Playfair and two other scientific men of eminence. Two cows and two bullocks were operated upon under cir cumstances precisely similar, except that one pair were fed with barley and the other with malt exclusively. The result ASS that the two which were fed upon the latter did not by any means thrive like the former pair. So much, then,for the experiment of these gentlemen. But research showed to him what experiment proved. They stated in their evi dence before the committee of the House of Lords, which sat in 1846, that upon an examination of the constituent elements of barley and malt respectively, it appeared that a very considerable quantity of substances of a nutritious character, which entered into the constitution of barley, disappeared from it on its conversion into malt. The only thing in which malt had the advantage was, that it was easy of digestion. Now, if hon. members opposite were about to make an entire revolution in the feeding of cattle by substituting malt for barley, then that would be some argument in the case for taking off these duties. But when the fact was that malt entered into the food of cattle .only in a very small quantity, then the argument fell to the ground. The house could not repeal taxes upon mere trifling objections. If that were done, then it would be impossible to raise a revenue. Indeed, the house had always refused to interfere with large branches then of taxation except upon conclusive grounds. Was this, , a small and trifling objection ? If it were admitted that malt only entered in a small degree into the food of cattle, then this question must be upon its face answered affirmatively ; if, however, this fact were denied, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had only to refer hon. members to the report of the committee of the Lords—a committee in every way favourable to the farmer—to show that this denial was without foundation. The right hon. g entleman then re ferred to the report of the Scientific C ommission of 1846, at the head of which was Dr. Lyon Playfair, which inves tigated the question of the value of malt as a fattenin ts g stock for cattle, and the result of their elaborate experimen and analysis was, that barley was superior to malt as a stoc of k for feeding cattle. T he benefit which the proposal the hon. gentleman would therefore confer on the farmers was therefore minute and contracted. Now what would be the mischief on the other hand if it werethat agree it d to ? The house ha d repeatedly declared would not interfere with the great and leading branches of public revenue, or permit them to be under mined. He did not believe that the object of the honour able gentleman was to interfere with the public revenue, but his proposition, if carried, would have the effect of undermining a vital and important branch of re venue. (Hear.) The hon. gentleman would probably as sent to a provision for preventing barley from being steeped where the excise officers suspected it might he converted into malt for fraudulent purposes. But even this would require great vigilance on the part of the revenue officers, for it would be necessary to have a general supervision on the part of the excise. But far greater supervision would be required if permission were given not only to steep barley, but to make malt for the purpose of converting , it into stock. In fact, unless they entirely abandone d revenue to fraudulent persons, they must carry the excise regulations into every farmstead in the country, and even then they could not prev‘nt malt from being made for fraudulent purposes. This might not be the object of the hon. gentleman, but it would. be the infallible result of his motion, and on the part of the revenue he could not con sent to the probable, nay. almost the certain, a-1)11,11(1°n ment of between 4:000,000/. and 5,000,000. He must, therefore, resist a motion which at best would only give a partial and minute relief t o th e f ar mer. (Hear, hear.) It might be said, " Well, then, will you keep the tax on m alt for ever ?" He would only say that he did not think there was much chance that any person who then heard him would see the duty removed. If, indeed, they could levy the dray on beer instead of malt, he admitted that much of the difficulty would he removed, and that a great bene fit would be conferred on the agricultural interest. (Hear.) But he did not understand that the hon. gentleman had any plan of that kind. How could they levy the tax on breweries for the manufacture of beer to be sold to the public, without also taxing the beer which was made in private houses. He believed it was the feeling of this difficulty which led the Government of 1830 to abandon the duty on beer and retain the duty on malt. He was ready to admit that there were objections to the continu ance of the malt tax, and he should be extremely glad if the honourable gentleman would show him the way of getting rid of the tax, or even modifying it, without entailing a large and serious loss upon the revenue. He believed that the proposition of the hon. gentleman would lead to fraud and demoralisation, and would entail enormous loss on the revenue, without conferring any pro portionate good ; and ox these grounds he must ask the house to unite with him in resisting the motion. The house divided— For the motion ti 9 Against it 73 hiajority —4 The announcement of the numbers was received with cheers by the Ministerialists, the tactics of the Opposition evidently being to press to a division, in anticipation of a successful result, which the apparent strength of their benches would seem to justify. POOR LAW MEDICAL RELIEF. Mr. MILES proceeded to call the attention of the house to the system of poor law medical relief at present exist ing in England and Wales, with a view to its revision, and also to the large number of persons who annually became chargeable to the poor rates from no medical relief being afforded to them in their sickness unless they became paupers. The imperfect manner in which medical relief was administered was one of the few blots defacing an otherwise admirable system. The number of medical offi cers was nearer 4,000 than 3,000, and the average number of patients was 835,000. The only check upon the improper treatment of patients was the production of the case books at the boards of guardians, but it was evident that the guardians must be incompetent to decide upon ques tions of disease or the proper means to be employed for its alleviation. The expenditure which took place under the head of " Extra diet" was the cover for abuss, and so also was the practice of allowing medical officers to eke out a scanty provision by the supply of medicine. To remedy these evils, he suggested the appointment of a medical inspector, who should have power to send a sub-inspector, also a professional man, to inquire into any case of alleged improper treatment of paupers. It, was de sirable also that in future the boards of guardians should supply drugs, and then, in cases where it was necessary to administer expensive medicine, the medical officer would not be exposed to the temptation of sparing his pocket at the cost of his duty. Another object he wished to accomplish was the extension of the system of medical re lief to the sick poor. A vast extent of pauperism was caaused by neglected sickness, the average wages of working men leaving them without the means of obtaining medical assistance. The house, perhaps, was aot aware what was the average amount of the wages of labouring men in this country. Some able papers on the subject of the labour ing population were published by Mr. H. Mayhew, about a year and a-half ago, and in them the writer estimated the labouring population at 4,000,000, and the average wages of a labourer at 10a. per week. Mr. Mayhew further esti mated that the whole of this sum was exhausted in pro curing clothes, food, firing, and rent. How was it possible for a man thus circumstanced to provide medical relief for himself or for his wife and children ? The Registrar-Gene ral called public attention last year to the great mortality among children, particularly in large towns, which he attri buted in some degree to the neglect, of their parents. This was an erroneous conclusion. The poor man bad as strong an affection for his offspring as the rich man had for his ; but his wages would not allow of his sending for a medical man, and the consequence was that his children frequently perished when the administration of two or three doses of medicine would perhaps have checked the disease which ultimately proved fatal. He might be told that if his views were carried out they would annihilate friendly societies and sick clubs ; but it was very well known that when the children of a man who was a member of a club fell sick be frequently found him self unable to pay his arrears, and was consequently ex pelled. A surgeon of eminence, who was examined before the committee of 1844, calculated that at that time a million and a-half of persons would, one way or other, re quire medical relief, taking each case at 2s. 6d. That, he b elieved, was exaggerated, and he would therefore take each case at ls. 6d. which. would cause an expenditure of 261,0001., or only '53,000o!. more than the moderate sum now paid. In 1851 a Medical Relief Act was passed for Ireland ; and all he now asked was that they should ex tend to the poor in Englund the same gen eral system of dispensing medical re li e f' 13 with the convic which reval led in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) H e would .now sit lown - tion that during the coming , turn his attention t o therecess his hon. feiend would subject, and that they would have the prospect next semi s , acted injuriously to the tt i , n(f al a t t amelioration of a law which of the poor, and which like wise prevented the due extension of the Poor Law in England. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BAINES apologised for his absence during the earlier part of his hon. friend's speech, and begged to as sure him that it only arse* from a miscalculation as to the time at which the discussion w hear.) He agreed with his h on. ellirendeom th e at o noil .(Hear, subject mor e important than the presentcould the attention of the house. be brou g ht under An hon. MEMBER hereNnoved that the house be counted, and the gallery was cleared, when, there being more than 40 members present, Mr. BAINES resumed.. He would make'a few observa tions to show in what manner the medical relief of poor had been cared for by the board over which h e had the honour to preside , an6t he hoped to show th a t many of the imputations which Isere thrown out against them we re altogether groundless ,— that t he r e never was a time when the duty of providing medical relief for the poor was so carefully attended to. The hon. gentleman had, first of all, entered into an examination of the manner in which the present Poor Law system worked, so far as medical relief was concerned ; and, in the next place, he had in quired w h e ther_ .certain new principles, hitherto unknown to the law of this corn try, should not be introduced. These subjects were totally distinct, and to the former of the two only he would reply. He could assure the house that any improvements int theft stem of medical relief that could be shown to be really su would be adopted by the board, and if he found that he had not the power of adopt ing any valuable suggestions that might be made, he would not hesitate to make application to the Legislature. (Hear, hear.) Before the Poor Law Act of 1834 there seemed to be no regular system of medical relief in this country. In places there were parishes doctors, but they were usually appointed under a system of jobbing and favouritism, and no general pl a n was in existence. ' ln 1834, however, a different mode was introduced, and since that time the amount of medi ca l re li e f g i ven t o th e poor was, to use the words of an unexceptionable witness before the committee of 1844, " infini t t e e e ly wa g s re a a p t p e o r i thau before that time." in 183 i comus*kt der the subj ec t of relieftoappoint, by that house to consi finished their labo ur b the poor, and that committee both of which had been acted ylaing two specific suggestions, , upon by hi s p re decessors at the Poor Law hoard.

(Hear, hear.) But, no doubt, the legi tit nate result of that inquiry was to impress on the then ,or Law Commissioners, and on those who succeeded tb em, the necessity of keeping their attention constantly A -1 THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1853. turned to this subject. (Hear, hear.) Since 184 4 it had been the anxious care of the bo ard to effect improvements on every point on which the system was capable of im provement, and a very few figures would show the house to what extent this had been carried. In 1838 the cost of medical relief to the poor was 136,0001. ; in 1844, 166,257 i. ; and, last year, 212,0501. There had therefore been a very great increase in the expenditure for medical relief. He did not say this was too large ; in his opinion the expen diture might go further ; but he was showing that a great increase had taken place. (Hear, hear.) This last sum of 212,0501. was exclusive of 25,894 1 . which was paid for vaccination ; and, as one result of the committee of 1844, there were extra fees for surgeons, amounting in 1840 to 5,4991., and in 1852 to 30,7271. Then the number of medical officers had been increased. In 1838 the number was 2,091 ; in 1852 they amounted to 3,233. The districts had . else been materially abridged. With regard to the qurcah tions of the medical men, some fault had been foun man neir appointed d tio t n u burtshhu.enithdo.uhgahvet the hihest s at a t s eri lli th g e h p ;oo tio qua lifications —such as w ould be required inn was the ca se of an o ne else. (Hear.) In all cases a double qualifi medical and surgical r equired—that was to sa y , both a an m qualifi ca tion ; and he was h a ppy to say that the sytstematht e atc, wor k e d exceedingly well. ( Hear.) One impor.l as regarded the efficiency of medical relief, was the re sponsibility of medical officers. Before the Poor Law Act passed, in 1834, there was no such thing as responsibility, except to the overseer with whom the medical m ntem o a made his contract ; but there was now a very efficent sf res ponsibility. Every medical man was responsib les to the Poor Law Board for the proper discharge of his duty, and he would venture to say that no case of neglect or mal treatment had ever been brought before the board without an instant inquiry being made. (Hear.) The complaints against the medical t officers were, t he on te number Of c the on sidering their grea number, and also t poor attended to - and whenever there was a well - founded ca use of complaint,. it was pretty sure, either by the vigi lance of rivals, or m consequence of that vigilance which was exercised by benevolent persons with regard to the suffering poor in their neighbourhood, to be brought to light, and to find its way to the Poor Law Board, where it would ii immediately scrutinised, and the result would be that the medical man would be dismissed. At the same time, the board was anxious to protect the medical officer in the fair, proper, and independent exercise of his duty, whenever a cabal, as sometimes happened, was formed against him. Upon one point, as the hon. gentleman knew, very efficient support had been given by the Poor Law Board within the last few years to the medical officers. It was very true, as the hon. gentleman had said, that their salaries were not high ; on the contrary, he (Mr. Baines) thought they were low ; but, from a very great number of agricultural unions, within the last three years, requests had been made desiring that the salaries of the medical officers might be cut down, had in every one in stance those requests had been refused. He must, how ever, do the boards of guardians the justice to say that in a great many cases they had afterwards taken a more liberal view, and had admitted the justice of the decision of the Poor Law Board. The hon. gentleman had made some suggestions with respect to the appointment of medical inspectors, and had justly observed that that was a subject which had occupied the attention of one of his (Mr. Baines's) predecessors, Mr. C. Buller. That gentleman, however, the longer he thought on the subject found that the greater would be the difficulties in the way of e estoorab lishing a staff of medical inspector s . At present th P Law Board had the means of availing themselves of the best assistance whenever any question arose with respect to which professional knowledge in medicine or ion surgery wa s necessary. Within the la st week a quest brought before the Poor Law Board as to the sufficiency of two workhouses for the proper reception of the poor in a sanitary point of view ; and the board, thinking it their duty to obtain the best opinion on the subject, applied to the President of the College of Physicians to name one or two gentlemen of the highest character, whose opinions on the point would be sure to carry weight. They were im mediately named and sent down to inspect the buildin g s. They made a most satisfactory report , and on that report the Poor Law Board proposed to act. Again, it some times happened that a charge was made against a medical officer for neglect or malpractice in t he case of' a sick per son. An inquiry took place, and one of the Poor Law Inspectors—a class of gentlemen highly educated, and ac customed to weigh evidence — went down to carry o n that inquiry, and called before him the best medical evidence had he could obtain. The Poor La w Inspectors also now associated with them a medical man accustomed to hear evidence, and whose dut y it was to give ad vice upon sanitary points. This system was found perfectly satisfactory, and the house would see that uuder it the Poor Law Board had the means of availing themselves of the best medical and surgical advice, and at a less cost than keeping up a large medical staff would entail, With regard to the suggestion made by the hon. gentleman on the subject of drugs, he observed that opinions varied much, and in reference to another point, he remarked that the principle of the law of England was, that before a per son could receive medical relief from the funds of a union, he must become chargeable to the parish. The hon. gen tleman thought that not a sound system, and wished to in troduce a new one, according to which medical relief shuld he provided at the expense of the state for other persons besides paupers, receiving less than a certain amount of income. Whenever that subject should be fairly gone into, it would be for the Legislature to say how far the in troduction of such a principle would have a tendency to impair habits of frugality on.the part of the poorer classes and to diminish that feeling of independence which had such a salutary influence on their conduct. In conclusion he expressed his readiness earnestly to consider any sug gestion for the improvement of the medical relief system for the poor, and ho trusted that the hon. gentleman, having called attention to the subject, would not think it necessary to press his motion to a division. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. TItOLLOPE could confirm the statement of the right hon. gentleman that a great improvement had taken place not only in the system of medical relief for the poor, but also in the class that dispensed that relief. He could also confirm the statement that whenever a case of neglect or maltreatment on the part of any medi cal officer was brought before the Poor Law Board, it re ceived the most earnest attention, and, if proved to be well founded, was followed by the dismissal or enforced resigna tion of the culpable party. During the past year, for the greater part of which he held the office of President of the Poor Law Board, he thought the whole number of eases of neglect or maltreatment brought before the board did not exceed four or five, and, when the total number of medical officers was nearly 4,000, that must certainly be considered comparatively a very small number. He thought that there would be some danger in carrying into effect the sug gestion of the hon. member for Somersetshire for affording medical relief at the expense of the State to persons whom he called the secondary poor, holding a position above that of the ordinary recipients of Poor Law relief. At present a great number of that class belonged to benefit societies or to sick clubs, partly supported by benevolent persons in the neighbourhood, and partly by a small weekly subscrip tion, such as a penny from each member, and he feared that the establishment of the system suggested by the hon. member for Somersetshire would operate as a great dis couragement to these societies, and prove extremely bur densome to the finances of the country. It was true that vaccination was paid for in respect to persons not paupers, hut that was done on the score of public health, and to prevent the spread of a contagious disease. With respect to the question of medical inspection, that had, on more than one occasion, been brought before the Poor Law Board, but it was found that the establishment of that system would entail great expense, while means already existed for carrying on any necessary medical inquiry. As to the pay of medical officers under the Poor Law Board, he thought that in many cases it was greatly inadequate; but the rate of salary rested more with the boards of guardians than the Poor Law Board —the latter having only the power to affirm or not the arrangement made by the former. However, he believed that the salaries of those officers were gradually on the increase. The complaints against them were ex ceedingly few, and, though during the past year some ap plications had been made to reduce their salaries on the plea of the low price of provisions, that plea had never been listened to, for obviously it would not be right that the sa laries of medical officers should be regulated by a sort of sliding scale continually rising and falling. He mightstate that extra fees settled by the Poor Law Board were paid to medical officers for certain services, and, generally speak ing, a more liberal view with regard to their remuneration was now taken by Poor Law guardians. Mr. WODEHOUSE said that, although throughout the country there was the most complete confidence in the ad ministration of the Poor Law by the right hon. gentleman opposite, he still thought the subject of medical relief one which required revision in many respects. After a few words from Mr. BARROW, Mr. MILES consented to withdraw the motion. He fully admitted that very great improvement had taken place in the system of medical relief under the Poor Law, and he was content, after what had been said, to leave the matter in the very competent and reliable hands of the right hon. gentleman opposite.—Motion withdrawn. WOODS AND FORESTS. Mr. AGLIONBY moved an address for a return of the number of all the officers holding any permanent situation or employment under the two Commissioners of Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues of the Crown in Great Britain and Ireland, under the names of receivers, deputy-survey ors, and superintendents, or such other names as the offi cers might bear (exclusive of the establishment in London), together with the date of the appointment of each ; the age of each when appointed; the previous occupat n ios of each ; the qualifications each was supposed to possess ; the names of the persons by whom each was recommended ; the name of the person by whom each was appointed ; the duties with which each is intrusted • the number of acres of land of every description over which the management of each deputy surveyor extends, distinguishing in each case the extent of forest land, land otherwise occupied, and waste land ; the salary, allowances, and emoluments of each.

The CHAIRMAN inquired whatother bab elec ir t l i t o y n th p e e r ti e ti w on a s e there were this session , and what pre of their being prosecuted. Mr. COPPOCK said, there was a petition against the return of Mr., Bagshawe for Harwich, but he did not think it would go on. There was a petition against the return of Mr, Whalley for Peterborough, and another against Captain Vernon for Chatham, and these cer tainly would go on. He had rece ived instructions for other petitions (Sligo, Liverpool, Durham, &c.) but , The formalities of theythad not vet been pre sented. the House of Commons required such long notice in these matters that he was afraid the petitions not yet presented could not be tried this session. The CHAIRMAN observed, that in these days of tele graphs and railways this ought n ot to be, an e re gretted to say that this delay mus t be unavoi h dably exte nded , as he and Sir F. Baring bad to send in their resignations as members of that committee, and no new members could serve in their place till' Monday next, and it w ou ld be difficult to get members to serve on election committees in Augul It is stated that in the ease of Clitheroe the inquiry will involve a ;scrutiny likely fo last many days. Westminster-bridge is to come doWn at last. We have arrived so far in the direction of improvement. It is at least a satisfaction to find that the question is no longer, as to the destruction of the old nuisance, and the substi: tution in its place of a more efficient structure ; but as to the form the new bridge shall receive. There are two opinions upon this subject. Many persons whose in terests are more directly concerned in river traffic are for working up to the model of the Menai-bridge, and adapt ing the new structure to the exigencies of the river tr;:ffic as they are at present understood. Others again maintain—and we very cordially agree with them—that the mere river traffic is a point of very secondary importance as compared with the convenience of passage for foot passengers and vehicles from bank to bank of the river Thames. Just in the same way as we had, some time hack, upon our iron roads the question of broad gauge and narrow gauge, so we are now to enter upon a discussion of high arch or low arch. The evidence of Mr. Page, the engineer to the Board of Works, delivered before the Westminster bridge Committee, appeared some time back in these columns. This gentleman stoutly maintains the propriety of depressing the headway of the arch in order to suit it to the public convenience. Mr. Walker, on the other hand, the consulting engineer to the Navigation Com mittee of the Port of London, adopts the opposite view, and furnishes us with reasons for maintaining the height of the bridge as it stands—thus, in point of fact, sacrificing the public for the sake of a minor interest. In our impression of Saturday there appeared a letter under the signature of " Nauticus," in which the case in favour of the high arch was maintained with great earnestness. The writer wishes to make out, that a bridge upon the good old "uphill" and "down hill" plan is preferable to one which offers a perfectly level surface, or, at least, that within certain limits the inclination is a matter of very secondary considera tion. The absolute figures are set at 1 in 42 against 1 in 54 ; and those who are curious in such matters may consult the letter of " Nauticus" for the engineering rea sons by which he disposes of Mr. Page's calculations, and proves that a higher or a lesser inclination is a matter of perfect indifference. We are not engineers, and will leave it to the gentlemen of the craft to fight each other with their own weapons ; but we can perfectly well appreciate the difference in comfort between passing over London and Waterloo bridge on the one hand, and Blackfriars and the existing Westminster bridge on the other. It is all very well for " Nauticus" to tell us, " that waggoners and coachmen prefer easy inclines to a perfectly level road, upon which, they say, the load is always on the collar.' We cannot but think that a hill is a hill, and that a stiffer hill is more uneasy for man and beast than one which is less so. Not all the engineering reasons in the world could drive it out of our heads that there is an essential difference between the two cases in favour of the less degree of inclination. If the bridge is to be built according to the opinion of nineteen-twentieths of the inhabitants of London, it will be built so as to offer a level surface for the convenience of the passers-by, or at least one as nearly so as the inevitable difficulties of the case will permit. It is a not uncommon characteristic of letters such as the one upon which we are now commenting, that the reader is left with the impression that two opposite and irreconcileable conditions can be satisfied if the views of the writer are adopted. If " Nauticus" proves anything, he proves that the bargemen and mariners can have high arches, and the land passengers at the same time ac commodated with a low bridge. We much doubt this conclusion—if, in truth, it be really intended—and are perfectly prepared to maintain the cause of the land traffic against that of the traffic by water. However great the inconvenience may be to particular persons, it results not from any harsh views suddenly adopted by the public authorities to the detriment of their interests, but from the topographical position and growth of this immense town. London is built on either bank of a great river, and the necessities of communica tion between bank and bank become as great as those between street and street on the same side of the stream. To this necessity must yield the lesser con venience, namely, that large ships laden with mer chandise should pass freely along the whole length of the city, and be free to discharge their goods at the most convenient point along the banks. This lesser convenience, comparatively speaking, we are compelled to give up as the town spreads out upon either bank, and to fix a point beyond which the interests of water traffic are sacrificed to those of land communication. This point in the present case is London-bridge. Beyond this point those persons who would use the great stream for the purposes of mercantile conveyance must adapt their operations to the altered conditions of things. If they find themselves crippled on one side their market is extending on the other, and that reflection should at least prove some consolation. For ourselves, we would fain see the time when the banks of this noble river above London-bridge shall no longer be deformed by a. series of unsightly sheds and warehouses ; and we can perceive no reason why the present arrangements should not in course of time give way to others more consonant with the dignity of that great town which lays claim to be considered as the capital of the world. Such things as the purification and embankment of the river Thames within the limits of London are not to be accomplished in a clay, but at least let us work in this direction. Do not let us con sent to sacrifice our present convenience and the future architectural hopes of the town to the demands of a very small class of our fellow-citizens, who have certainly no right to put forward any such pretension. We should add, that in all probability their fears are exaggerated. Science and mechanical ingenuity are not standing still in other respects, and, if the bridge is not raised to suit the ship, the ship will be lowered to suit tha bridge. We have little doubt that before many years have elapsed an entirely different character of craft will be seen navigating the river Thames. Even as matters stand, the great hulk of the com munication is carried, on in lighters, to which the height of the bridge can be a m a atter of no importance, The navigation between Londoii and Vaux hall bridges requires a broad arch and a clear stream. The one is a natural consequence of the other, and is of far more moment—as any lighterman would tell us — than the height of the bridges under which these craft must pass.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TINES. Sir, —As your journal published the substance of nearly the whole of Mr. Page's evidence before the West minster -bridge Committee, and not one of Mr. Walker's reasons against lowering the headway of the centre arch, the navigation interests have some claim upon you for giving equal publicity to the corrections, by other witnesses, of Mr. Page's omissions, which ap pear to go very far to w ards neutralising his own ar guments in reference to the proposal for lowering the headway for navigation from 25 feet 6 inches to 20 feet. Mr. Walker is engineer to the present Bridge Com missioners, and has been employed as consulting engineer to the Navigation Committee of the Port of London for the last quarter of a century. Mr. Page is engineer to the Board of Works, to whom the bridge and the bridge estates are proposed to be transferred by the bill now before Parliament. Mr. Page stated in evidence (and this corresponds with Sir W. Molesworth's letter to the Lord Mayor) that by lowering the bridge to 20 feet headway, the in clination of the roadway would be reduced from 1 in 22, the present inclination, to 1 in 54, and that the effect of this would be that the same power which would be re quired to draw 1,000 tons up the present incline would draw nearly 2,500 tons up the proposed incline ; and he further stated, that during five days of 12 hours each, 48,000 tons were drawn up Westminster-bridge, but that with the proposed lowering, the same power would draw 120,000 tons over. It appeared that in both the above statements he had left out the important element of friction, and that if friction be added, and taken at 1101 b. per ton, which Mr. Page gave as his opinion of the amount of friction, the 120,000 tons would be reduced to 72,200, and the 2,500 tons to 1,500. It was also proved that the headway of 25 feet 6 in. might be preserved with an inclination of 1 in 42 upon a new bridge, which would reduce the difference between the 20 feet and the 25 feet 6 inches height in the pro portion of 1,500 to 1,370 tons. As an illustration, it was shown that the rise of 1 in 42 would be the same as for half the length of the road way between the Canning monument in Palace-yard and Bridge-street, and upon other equally unobjectionable thoroughfares. Under these circumstances, and making every allow ance for the greater importance and quantity of land traffic, ought the height which navigation has always had, and the opportunity for improving and increasing the navigation which it affords, to be taken from it in the way now proposed, particularly as all the bridges below Westminster, and also Vauxhall-bridge, above Westminster, have a greater height. The resolution of a Royal commission, in 1851, was, that the new bridge should have 25 feet 6 inches clear headway, which corresponds with the plan deposited in the autumn of 1852 by the Board of Works, prepara tory to an intended application to Parliament for a new bridge, and of the attempt to lower this the navigation interest were not informed until very lately. Again, as the resistance by grav itation u p on a rise of 1 in 54, and also upon a rise of 1 in 42, are both less than the resistance by friction on the road, the power required to draw any given weight from one end of the bridge to the other is the same in both, the greater exertion required in getting up to the middle of the bridge beine , all returned in going down on the oppo site side, so thatin truth there is not any, the smallest, loss of power in going over the bridge by the difference between the gradients of 1 in 54, and 1 in 42, where, as in this case both are easy ; indeed, waggoners and coachmen prefer easy inclines to a perfectly level road, upon which they say "the load is always upon the collar." Strange that this important fact was not stated in the evidence of any of the engineers that were examined. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, July, 1853. NAUTICUS. (From the Times.)

At this morning's market there was a good attendance of town and country dealers, who bought very sparingly of wheat and flour, at a decline upon last Tuesday's prices of ld to 2d per 701bs. and 6d per sack and barrel. Oats met a fair demand, at an advance of ad per 451b5., but oatmeal was neglected at late rates. Barley and peas were quite without change in value. Egyptian beans receded 6d per 4SOlbs. White Indian corn was in good request at fully previous quotations ; but yellow was unsaleable, and nominally unchanged in value. Floating cargoes of wheat were not saleable although offered at lower prices ; but Indian corn met a ready sale. IPSWICH—Juror 12. Our market to-day followed London, and wore a more quiet aspect. Sales of red wheat were not so freely made, and, if pressed at all, is per qr. reduction in price was submitted to. White wheat, on the contrary, commanded attention, and sold readily at 58s and 60s per qr. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER. Wheat, red (old) 46s to 52s Barley, grinding ...

Wheat Barley Oats Beans Peas HULL—JULY 12. A fair attendance of farmers at this day's market, and a better show of samples than last week. Farmers asked very irregular prices, and showed no disposition to yield to the dema n d s of illers and factors for some concession upon last week's rates. There was, consequently, little business done. Not much foreign offering, and last week's prices paid for anything fresh. Beans maintain their late currency, and hardly any Egyptians left unsold. Barley has improved is per qr. during the week. Oats in good demand, and 6d dearer. The linseed market very firm. A n advance of 5s per ton during the week on cakes. No thing in rapeseed, but rape cakes are in request at improved rates. In bones we have no alteration to report. s s Wheat, English, red 58 to 60 Ditto white 6O to 63 Dantzic and Konigs berg Pomeranian and Ham- s S.
