Instead, however, of leaving such a responsibi lity on the shoulders of the Secretary of State, who had similar in principle, to the railway board of last ses sion. That board should consist of five persons, three of whom should be paid for their services, and the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, for the time being, should be ex-officio chairman of the board. It should be designated the Board of Health, and Public Works, and would be empowered to appoint inTectors to go into the country to institute all requi inquiries to - make surveys, and advise as to all other matters connected with the sanatory condition of the people. It was intended in corporate towns, to intrust o ,sr Fl.e. 4.. r. 1,.,...1 authoriti under the subordination of the board, with leave such towns to was very severely felt apply or not for a charter of incorporation ; but in ca they preferred to remain unincorporated he proposed that the commissioners should be elected by the ratepayers, and that the crown, on the recommendation of the Cen tral Board of Health, should nominate a certain number of additional commissioners, not exceeding in number one-third of those chosen by popular election. The ope ration of the bill was not to extend to Ireland or Scot land, but it was to extend to London, which he could see no grouna tor excmumg. tie proposes tnat tne crown, by an order in council, should have power to extinguish all local bodies which exercised the same powers with those which he now created, in each locality. An in spector would be appointed to institute preliminary inquiries into the condition of towns. When the local council was constituted he would visit the town, see what works were wanted, and make his report to the central board. This officer would generally be an engineer of some eminence. There would also be a medical in spector to examine into the sanatory condition of the towns placed under the control of the central board; but this he would not be connected with the towns, as it was thought better that he should be inch local connexions. The local council wou 3endeni of all all the contracts made uncle': this act, and an inspector of misances, who would have authority to remove such as were injurious to public health. There were also provi sions in the bill for the prevention of smoke, the better ventilation of houses, the furnishing most ample supplies of water, and such other measures as naturally suggested themselves in carrying the object in view into effect, for the general benefit of the public. Mr. M`KmrsoN asked Lord Morpeth wl tions were respecting the removal of cemeteri towns and populous districts his inten- t from large Lord MORPETII replied, that this bill did not contain now under the consideration of the goverment, and was 'lance to be introduced few words from Colonel Wow), jun., ;eparate _ The Earl of LINCOLN thought the bill could scarcely he said to be more comprehensive than the one he had introduced two years ago, for nearly all its chief provi- to be found in that bill. He should not, how ever, enter upon the discussion, as it would be more con venient to do so when the bill should have been in the hands of hon. members ; but he must say he thought the present measure went so far in its details as to intermed dle with local authorities and interests, from whom much opposition might be anticipated. He looked also with great jealousy to the appointment of three paid commis- sions we sioners, and thought modern legislation tended far too much towards the creation of such appointments. The noble lord , stated other objectiona . to . some , of the provi- 3lorpeth in attempting to extend the operation of the bill to the metropolis —an attempt which must lead to a signal failure. lie assured the noble lord that he would be ready to give him every aid in his power in endeavour ing to render a measure of such importance as perfect as ►ossible, though he felt it incuml hispbjectlons, to those provisions whiclisn-l'ig7t.en—da;;;; After some observations from Mr. AGLIONBY, 31r. GREENE said there were twenty private bills before the house for the improvement of the health, &c., of as m any towns • and he ther e f ore suggeste d that all those bills should be suspended until the present measure should be disposed of. Sir W. CLAY doubted the expediency of including the metropolis in this bill, and hoped that ample time would be given for its consideration.

The Governbr-General was moving through the north-west provinces on a tour of inspection. The Com mander-in-Chief was at Saharampoor, whither it was thought the Governor-General would proceed, on his route to the hills, before the commencement of the hot turn to Calcutta is not expected for some , ason. IRS oaths more From Sciade there is nothing new. Sir Charles Napier was at Hyderabad, and Scinde was as tranquil as any pro vince of India, notwithstanding the withdrawal of the great portion of the Bombay regiments which had been stationed there. _ _ The reduction of the army was going forward. Two hundred Sepoys and 25 native officers were to be struck off the rolls of each native regiment of infantry. The ca valry and irregulars will be also reduced ; so that the nu merical strength will be lessened by about 40,000 men. Her Majesty's .9th, 17th, 39th, and 63d Regiments are also returning to Europe. . The Fiva.per Cent. Loan still continued open, although it was said that upwards of £3,000,0i. b “aa been subscribed.

In a word, we *feel now that the game haps, even a fearful recoil preparing for them. We shall now allude briefly to the facts which justify us in our foregoing observations. In our own Corn Exthange; yesterday, the prices were decidedly lower. Wheat fell about ls. per 2821b5., and the highest quotation of Indian corn was 525., being 4s less than was obtained on the pre ceding market day. In Newry, the price of Indian meal has fallen within the last few weeks fully £6 per ton, and is now quoted at £l2 per ton, while prompt payment in cash will procure the article considerably under that sum. A similar decline has taken place in Londonderry and Galway. We 'rejoice to learn that France is participating in tl same happy anticipations. The alarm created by the Debate, on the food question, has subsided, and given place to more agreeable anticipations ; and a depression in the prices of food has followed, and still continues.
