Sir H. WILLOUGHBY suggested that owners of pre-
perty se well al ratepayen should have the right of teepee-
doe. After a brief conversation the suggestion was
adopted, ad the clause with some other verbal amend-
mole cee peesei.
Seleiqueee deems to 46 were agreed to.
Olt 111•1110 47, providing that sewers, except main towers,
be vested in vestries and district boards,
Lard BBRINGTON expressed an opinion that if the
niloseeteent were entrusted to 36 separate jurisdictions,
with 36 separate sets of engineers and diems, there would
be constant disputes between them and • vet, large increase
of expense, ad need that at tint, at all events while the
great works of drainage were ping es. the management
should be is the hands of the great metropolitaa board.
Lord R. GROSVENOR *soldiered that such was the
strong desire for self eat on the pert of 19-20 the of
the perishes, that if his soble friend's euggiatioss were
caroled out the bill would become unworkable.
Sir W. CLAY took the same view.
Mr. B. BARING considered that the mere hoses drainage
ought to be under the control of the district boards. bet
not
works in any *ay cotneeted with the win drainage, which
ought to be entirely vested in the heads of the metropolitan
beard.
Mr. WILLIAMS approved of the bill as it stood.
Mr. LABOUCRERE believed the sueutee whether the
whole sewerage of the metropolis shouid be vested in the
bands of a central body, or in the hands of a number of local
bodies under the supervision of the central body, was one of
the most important involved in the bill Upon the whole,
esseidering tie fullest of the ratepayers ea the subject, and
believing that they were competent to manage this matter so
fee as the house and the mere local drainage were concerned,
he was disposed to support the proposition of his right boa.
friend (Sir B. Hall).
Sir B. HALL said it was true that all the drainage of the
metropolis had failed under one board ; bat the quesUos
was west plan was to be adopted ; and he thought, consi-
dering the population of London, the number of boards in
the bill would not be found too large as each:uld repri-
sing about 80,000 persons. With regard topowers of
the board, they were sot more arbitrary than those of the
Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London. Out of
1,500 miles of streets in the metropolis, there were 666
without drains', and while there were 306,000 houses, there
were 160,000 without any drainage at all. Eves in Maryle-
bose. in first clam streets, there were numbers of houses
without sewers. If, therefol• power were given to thee*
boards to sake *ewers, the abominations of coupools would
be dose away with. The general feeling of the metropolis
was that the sewerage should be taken from a Central board
sad gives to local boards. He hoped, therefore, this clause
would be tamed.
Lewd EBRINOTON urged that the Central Commission
of Sewers was not so much in fault is its dealing with
sewerage as the legislation under which they acted, which
gave them only nominal powers. He did not wish that
there should be no powers given to districts, but that there
should be fewer districts, and he only advocated the system
of • central body as a less inconvenient plan than that in
the bill.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said the question was whether
the appoistment of 38 boards was a good plan of managing
the 'swinge of just so many districts. He thought it
doubtful that such a system would work well, and the
instance of the City of London was not an analogous one,
for there there wee one uglier= system, whieh was not
likely to be obtained by 36 boards, moat probably pulling
different ways.
Lord SEYMOUR wished to know why these thirty-six
districts had been selected as the most convenient for the
district sewerage of the metropolis. The object ought to be
to get districts of such a site as would be enabled to obtain
the ablest engineers, and of mune the larger they were the
greater would be their ability to get such an *newer. He
wished to know if a district board wanted to carry a sewer
under a church, or any public building, whether the central
board had power to prevent it.
Sir B. HALL had taken most of the thirty-six districts
principally from parishes sole, and the others, which
eseeheei el incorporated parishes, as they stoo neu
ral paw-
kier He thought under, the bill the g com-
et sewers would have such a power as his noble
Mud sereleeed ; but if the words of the clause were not
saliva(., be egad have weeds put in which would be
waling.
The rase was agreed to.
Hie IL HALL said, from the next clause to clause 70, the
pieelhleas were taken from existing sets.
Os deem 48, a discussion, originated by Mr. C. Bee Lia,
awswiles be wuether there were powers is the bill to pro-
log* the esstamination of the smaller rivers in the neigh-
lbeneheed of the metropolis by the turning of Sewage into
Mum; and it was stated that the power to establish a
=of interceptive drainage was the only provision on
Meet i-, the bill.
Lead SEYMOUR suggested that there 'bosh' be a

Tres ghat a certain date, looking to the period at which
Om mole sewers could be completed. He thought also that
Mau emelt to be provisions against the drainage being
above low water level.
Sir B. HALL said a clause sleight be introdseed to compel
the Commissioners of Sewers to commence their works at
once, and to proceed with them as fast as possible.
The clause as amended was agreed to.
The ClAtigat then repeats& progress, and asked leave
to eh ands es Friday, at 12 o'clock.
The bees* this resumed.
THE DERBY DAY.
On the motion of Lord BARIUNOTON, the hoses at its
rising was ordered to adjourn to Thursday.
The house then adjourned till six o'clock.
The house resumed at 6 o'clock.

Mr. HEYWOOD pee sodas that he should upon that
day mouth move for an address praying her Majesty te issue
her commission to substitute open examination fee the
system of nomination at present prevailing at the Military

Mr. OTWAY gave notice of his intention to put the fol-

meat on Thursday next ; whether it wee WM that the

about to adjourn for • period of unused duration, @mg at a
eras fall of diner to the country. They bad bees
told as the previous evening, amid many ambiguous de-
elaratiems, that the conference at Vienna, although it was
closed, had net seised to exist, and it might happen to them
at the sad of the Whitsuntide reeves to ratan to their duties
and find that pesos had both obtained on terms not at all
satiaketory to the public of this eoentry. (Cheers.) What
then would be the feeling of the people, when they lamed
that the renewed forbearance of their representatives bad
led to consequethes is their opinion so degrading ?
(Hear.) It was impossible to deny that there was through-
oat the country • feeling of dissatisfaction sad disgust ,
at the ambiguous langsage and uncertain conduct of sink-
tees with Menace to these negotiations for peace, and ha
believed that the feeling also existed in that house. (Hear,
hear.) Hs was therefore pomaded that it was their dna
before they Toss for th• adjournment to take means that it
should sot be laid to the fault of the House of Commons
say longer if that uncertainty and ambiguity still pre-
veiled. (Hear, hear.) For that reason he had [shit his
duty to take the int opportunity to ask the opinion of the
bone ea this subject, and that the house should take some
stem so show that there was at least no uncertainty in the
eitedega of the representatives of the people, but that they
were prepared to continue to support her Majesty in this ;
woe math they had obtained for themselves and for all I
pasties concerned a mare and honourable puce (Hear,
bear.) With these views he should, in the course of the I
main, lay upon the table resolutions at least free from '1
ambiguity, and he hoped that the house woald mean to
their discussion. He knew that to obtain an opportunity
he mut appeal to the kind indulgence and assistance of
hem members who had • previous right to the opportunity
which he understood the government meant to give as
Thenday next. He had understood from a noble lord, •
member of the goverameat, that government meant to go
into committee of supply on Thursday, not for the purpose
of asking for a vote, but in order that hon. members who
might wish to call the attention of the house should been 1,
an opportunity for doing so. He believed that the ben.
member for Aylesbury had given notice of a motion of
great importance. (A laugh.) Of course he had no right
to express a wish that that gentleman should give way to
him—(oontinued laughter)—nor to presume to press him
to do so. AU he (Mr. Disraeli) could say was, that if he I
obtained an opportunity he should certainly make his motion,
sad eves if the hon. member for Aylesbory persisted, he
(Mr. Disaraeli) would do his utmost before the adjournment
for the holidays to induce a debate on resolutions whisk be
thought tended to vindicate the honour of the beam
(Cheers and laughter.)
Mr. LAYARD said he most cordially concurred in the
sentiments of the right hoc. gentleman who had just sat
down. It appeared to him that the question raised by that
right hon. gentleman was one of vital importance, and
although he considered his own motion of some importance,
he should undoubtedly under the eirommatanuegive way to
the right hon. gentleman. (Great laughter and cheers.)
Lord PALMERSTON said that the right hoe. gentle-
men had accused hon. members on that side of the house of
enacting a scene on the previous evening, but certainly the
scene they had just witnessed far exceeded the preceding one
in dramatic interest. It had been well done, and he gave the ,
aeton great credit for their performance. (Laughter.)
Of course her Majesty's government bad no objection to
meet the motion of the right hon. gentlemen, and therefore
it the right loon. gentleman had simply announced his in-
tention he (Lord Palmerston) would not have thought it
necessary to say • word on the subject; but as the right hon.
gentleman had complained that the language of government !
on the present position of affairs was, and had been, 'qui- I
' vocal and ambiguous, he (Lord Palmerston) must eatirely,
deny the justice of that saltation. If it meant that they 1
had not thought it consistent with their duty to detail the 1
pulse terms of soy communication that might be passing
1 with other governments, hie answer was, that it would
bare been a great bleach of public duty to do so, and a i
violation of the numb which was absolutely necessary in
Se conduct of our foreign relations. But the right hoe.
ypeademan also said that it was through the theses of
that house in 1853 the country bad drifted into
mem. Re begged leave to say that in his opinion the fat-
homs, which the house had shown in 1853 had very much '
imeseased the chances of the preservation of peace, sad
test se far from the house basing anything with which to
reproach itself on that score, his cotyledon was that any
imprudent interference of theirs would very much have
precipitated hostilities. What was the present state of
thins ? It was laid as a charge against the government
that they pursued negotiations at the same court which had
been their scene in 1853, when they were unavailing. Why,
meld it net have been an equal reproach to the govera.
meat U, while so great • power as Austria war with them
is *aloe, and disposed to give its assistance in bringing
&beat an accommodation, they had refused such assistance,
sad raid to Austria," We will have nothing to do with you,
de as you please." He maintained, on the contrary, that the '
government would have had much to reproach thiamine
with had they declined the moistens of Austell'. He MOW
aniesstaad how they might have been to blame had they
relied solely on negotiations, or, if Meting to the friendly
intervention of Auer ia,they had neglected those other mesas
by which the war was likely to be carried to a nocessfel
Membation ; but much a line of conduct could not be laid to
dark charge. (Hear, hear.) They bad availed themselves
of the good offices of Austria, hat they had not relaxed for
OM memo% in those warlike steps which would have been

while on the one hand they had not shut the door against
negotiation, on the other they bad prosecuted the war as if
no negotiations were pendia/. (Cheers.) The right hem.

dates. It might be advisable if the young men in the
Fenige Mice were secourspd to cultivate languages, and
acquire that knowledge widen would fit them for this higher
branch of the public service. In Frames and Germany,
groat care was taken that persons appointed to the diplo-
mastic service were properly qualified, and in Germany, be-
fore my pence's name was placed upon the list of candidates,
he had to pass a very strict examination in languages,
political soonomy, international law, and other bronchia of
study ; and he thought it might be advisabie to establish
such a system in this country. In conclusion, he said that
the country were most anxious for investigation upon this
question, and expressed a hope that, as we were to have a
new Dawning-street, the old defective system would disap-
pear with the dilapidated and inconvenient offices.
Mr. EWART seconded the motion, and called attention
to the importance of establishing an educational test for
candidates for this branch of the public service. He was
sorry to say that at present our diplomatic service was in-
ferior to those of other European governmeats, and even of
that of America. He complained that the admission to
this service was ton exclusive, and that the good things
connected with it were confined too much to the aristocracy.
K. urged that great care ought to be ozonised, seeing the
imported duties they had to perform, in selecting persons
for consular duties; and that a praperatory examination
should be required. In no ease ought traders to be air
pentad to trusular offices; and he observed that neither
Francs nor America would permit their consuls to true.
He regretted to say that our consuls in the East—where our
exports now amounted to eight millions a year—did not
reflect that credit epos the country which we ought t sex-pect. The nforms necessary in the diplomatic and conr
establishments were simple and easy, and be assured the
Prime Minster, if he would take the subject in hand, be
would receive the thanks of parliament and of the country.
Lord PALMERSTON concurred with his hon. friend
who had just sat down as to tee great importance of the
diplomatic service, observing, that upon the manner in
which that service was performed, frequently depended not
only the commercial interests of the enemy, but the ques-
tion of peace or war. He, however, must deny that the
quotidian made by the hon. gentleman who had brought
forward the motion as to diplomatists being honourable
spies, whoee busiens it was to cheat and deceive, and whose
want of veracity was proverbial, were applicable to the
diplomatists of the present day. In those days
of newspaper expresses any government would throw
away its money who employed it in paying spies.
So far as this country is concerned, when every whims of
the Timm was repeated by electric telegraph in S:. Peters-
burg within twelve hours after it appeared here, the em-
ployment of spies was surely unnecessary. (" Hear," and a
laugh.) With regard to the consular tonics he had
no lea •
onto suppose that our consuls were interior in intelligence
or capacity to perform their duties to those of any other
power. He had had the honour of presiding at the Foreign-
edieto for many years, and his attention had been directed as
a matter of course to the consular establishment. Much of
his time had Mee occupied in reading the despatches of our
amulet agents, and sending despatches to them, and he was
bound, in justice to a most meritorious body of public
semen% to say that so far from believing them to
be less efficient than the consuls of any other
elmstry, be believed they were fully equal to the
aroma b of any other nation in the world. (Hear.)
With respect to the consulship. in the East, the hone
nut be perfectly .!ware that there were some peculiar
=
Mations requisite in persons who filled those sites.
Amongst other things, they must pawns a cos-
peen knowledge of the habits, customs, and lupus of
teseenntries in which they lived; and therefore it was not
awry sea that was fit to be appointed consul in the East.
It led km his (the noble lord's) anxious desire, whenever
weemeMe occurred, to choose persons who prosessed the
pessike qualifications to wbich he had referred, and be had
semen to think that those he appointed bad fallen abort
of the estimate he had formed of their capacity. He could ,
eves mention on or two cases in which they had shown I
Menissives peculiarly qualified to perform the very arduous'
emlbeportant duties imposed upon them, but he would'l

Me begmarable friend stated that complaints had bees

posed to have been guilty of lay conduct unbecoming his ,
elboalloo, he was ears the Secretary of State would teel itl
In duty immediately to give the cue his most anxious and

As far as his (the noble viscount's) knowledge extended, be
bad no region to suppose that any of our consuls bad per-
formed their duties in any other manner than with meat
advantage to the country, and with great satisfaction to the
British subjects within their jurisdiction. He was not
aware, therefore, that say improvement could be introduced
I into our consular system. With respect to our diplomatic
anamgemesta, it was perfectly tine that all the rentemen-
, dation of the committee of 1650 bad not been carried into
effect; but his hoe. friend (Mr. Wise) had admitted that
Iseveral of them bad been acted upon. For instance, the
