RE-ELECTION OF THE CHANCELLOR OF
THE EXCHEQUER.
On Monday the Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewin,
Bart., was re-elected for the Radnorshire boroughs. In the
course of his speech from the hustings, he said that the
offer of the important office of the Chancellorship of the
Exchequer wu made to him quite unexpectedly ; but " I
felt that however great the difficulties might be which
would oppose the due discharge of the duties incumbent
upon the holder of that office—notwithstanding the critical
state of public attain, notwithstanding the advanced period
of the session, and the necessity under which the Chancellor
of the Exchequer would be placed within no 100 g time Or
predaaing a budget and laying before the home and the
emmatry a play for the fiancee of the eusuing year, I felt
that, ia the position in which I was placed, I should
be guilty of pusillanimity if I declined the offer that
was made to me." (Applause.) Alluding to the
death of the late Csar, the right hon. pa-
thos* spoke of that potentate u " the mighty Pharosh of
the North, whose heart was hardened against the rest of
Europe," and compared his sadden death to that of Alex-
ender at Babylon. It had beer for years the hereditary
policy of the Court of Russia to extend the frostier of their
=to the south, and to make Constantinople one of the
ale of the Russian empire. "We know that at the
esonfeeneee of Tilsit a plan was sorted upon between the
Imperer Napelees and the Emperor Alexander for

THE PUBLIC BEA LTH AND NUISANCES
REMOVAL BILLS.
Yesterday an an influential and numerously attended
public meeting of manufacturers and others was held at I
the London Tavern, Bishoprgate street, .to concert such steps &
as might be deemed advisable to oppose the objectionable St,
clauses of the Public Health Bill, 1845, and Nuisances SO
Removal Bill, now before parliament. ee
Mr. F. C. Huts, manufacturing chemist, Deptford, who t 3,
took the chair, observed, in opening the proceedings, that Bt.
the two bills which they were met to consider contained is
deems el seek as extreordisary and oppressive nature as So
to reader It only necessary to make them known in order to at.
make every en* feel that they should be opposed. By clause 11,„.
31 of the Nuisances Removal Bill, if complaint wee snide ales.

business, process, or manufacture, mules an offensive 10
, fflovia, certified by any officer of health or medical officer, et.

mammal, and injurious to the health of the inhabitants, two litt

time to parties proceeded against to remove or abate the 3...,1
mobacce. Another objection was that such complaints were la
aale be decided by a jury but by a pulite magistrate, and 10.
thugs with no appeal except to a court of quarter sessions, Isli
although the party proceeded spinet might continue his S
Wines if he felt inclined to pay • fine of si. per day. Ili
This was as oppressive as the clause of the Smoke Act, under 81•
which no lees than 30 convictions took place in Bermondsey
is one day. By this clause any person wee liable to be pro- so
seeded against who did anything to annoy his neighbour, le
and the hammering of • boiler maker or the ringing of • 121
bell might be deemed an annoyance ty some. Tnere was • Bs°
little difference in this act, as at could only be set in motion 4:
by the Secretary of Stan, while the others could be set in Is
motion by any one. se.
A GINTLIMArt observed that Mr. Bodkin had stated that 33
he had 1,500 informations under the Smoke Act in his &-
pocket, signed by the Home Secretary, who must there- ~,,81.
tore have paid a good deal of attention to it. (Laughter) Ft
The CnitInMAII said they had taken the most effectual 100
seeps to give the Smoke Act their opposition, and they 61
ought to do so now to get the obnoxious clauses in the other 11
hills repealed. He knew one parish in which the rates bad 30
been increased to fie. in the pound through the opera ion of :
the Public Health Let. What was now wanted was, that 13
obvious and petty nuisances shou.l not be placed in the same 30
category ss those which made • smell, and by firm and ht.
uni ed opposition they would succeed to their object. 16
Mr. . SMITH moved the first resolution, as follows: a
.1
" Resolved, that this meeting pledges itself to take all con- ogt.
stitutional means to prevent the bill from pasting u
' Into law, until deprived of its arbiirary and oppres- as
1 sive clauses. " He attended that meeting, not se
as • manufacturer, but °as an Individual and st°l
an Englishman, having given his attention to t
the subject some years. The Smoke Act passed into so
a law because its operation had not been foreseen, and he so
was now glad to see the union of the manufacturers to do to
away with the injurious douses of the bill, uit wasuite 14.

tbe introduction ctiohnesoef Po
the first, seven'
years ago, ila mintier opposed to ethe inte- ift,
rests of the public, and it would be aas long as there was • 30
Board of Health paid out of the public purse. The bill t;e- St
fore the public ha I never been before the House of Com- 30
mons at all, and he charged upon the parties • direct fraud :
in this particular. The Policia Health Bill was introduced e
3,..
by Sir B. Hall on the 23rd January, when it was passed pro 23
forma, and referred to • select committee, without having li.
been seen by a single member of the house, sad the bill was 20
not the same now as it wee then represented to be. This was ~.„
a direct fraud. The bill was pushed through at one ;
o'clock at night, when a member who to his knowledge to
bad waited the whole night to oppose it had no apportunity
of doing so. This could not be called among men of bust
nese honest dealing. Under it there could be no cecurity
foe property, without which there could be no private enter-
prise. By the action of the Public Health Bill many enter- at.l
prises, which would have been a great benefit to the public, EC
had been put a stop to, and improvements to towns pre- t.
vented in nearly every pert of the country. Two things at
were apparent—the bill was not for the benefit of the poor; el
and it was obstructive to free enterprise. The clauses of the to
bill bad been drawn by parties trite ignorant of practical St.
aptitudes. With regard to the method of bringing the act &.
into operation in loons, the signatures of one-tenth of the
inhabitants wee sufficient, and this one-tenth wu easily 10
cooked. The adult males were taken se one-fifth of the le
population, so that the whole power was put into the hands et
of a small minority, less than twenty per cent. of the whole 6
inhabitants of any place. Then if the deaths amounted to t-
hroaty-three in one thousand annually in a period Z
if Oct leas then seven years, the act could be carried
Into operation without even the petition of one-tenth eh
K the inhabitants by the decision of the general 161
beard upon the report of an inspector And they could 60
always cook up there 23 deaths in 1,000, and he would ri..
MOM nWo places where they had done so. The first was lc
Wereester. The clause did not restrict them to the last s
seems years, and they bad gone to the previous seven years, 10
Including the cholera year, which gave them the required 10
mange. (Hear, hear.) The other place was Greet Tar- et-
month, where there was a large hospital, the deaths in 164
which served their purpose. (Hear, hear.) Then they had so
the fewer to impose a permanent debt upon any place, and is
reuse 136 introduced an entire novelty in the way of legie- ht.
Intl" giving power to inspectors to summon before them St-
say parson whatever, and examine them upon oath, which tit•..,
MS a Met monstrous thing. With regard to the Nuisances tu
liallanal Bill, it was as objectionable as the other, and there Ig
was sae clause in it which gave the power of entry, with- Ito
cat notice, into any man's house, at any time between nine 6
ill the morning end six in the evening, so that en English- HI
man's house could no longer be celled his castle. The 31
right of appeal which had been in the first bill had been 3
taken out of this, and manufacturing enterprise was much le
interfered with under the pretence of guarding the Bt
public health. In connexion with the influence of mann- alt
lectures upon the health of the neighbourhood, he might Ig•
mention that he had been informed by the Registrar of 1;
Births and Deaths for the district, that on Bow-common, fee
where there were more manufacturers than anywhere else 121
near London, the deaths were below the average. Another 15
objectioo to this bill was, that it granted no compensation rit
where manufactures were to be removed. And whether the "
bill was regarded in its action upon the rights of property, a
the course of private enterprise, the liberty of the subject, 10
and even, if be might so say, the freedom of discussion, most 1.0.1
strenuous efforts ought to be made to prevent it from becom- St.
log law. (Hear, hear.) r
Mr. MIIIIRDO seconded the resolution, which was unani-
mously agreed to.
Mr. EL? moved the second resolution for appointing •
committee to carry out the objects of the first in en able
speech, denunciatory of the obnoxious principles of the two
bills, and of centralisation generally. 10
Mr. Allen seconded the resolution, which after some 6
discussion was else unanimously adopted. 60
Somatal other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, a 10
subscription was entered into to defray the expenses of the 20
agitation, and an executive committee nominated as fol- t;
lows, vin.:—Messrs. F. C. Hills, Toulmin Smith, M'Murdo, so
C. Dav, D. Stuart Dykes, Bazeley White, W. A. Bales, lc
W. D. Owen, Peter Atkinson, Squire, H. P. Butt, Ander- SD
sou, and Vowsley. leo
The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the Lc°
