of the noble lord (Stanley) haviag bssa oludnusis of the
committee, was a sufficient parantee that the manila et
the bell bad been carefully maiden& (Hear, hear.) The
bill bad been approved of by the committee, notwithstand-
ing the opposition of two powerful bodies, the oorporatioa
of Loudon seed the Metropolitans Board of Works : bat,
notwithstanding the reeouroes which such aa opposition
could bring to bear, the committee bad resolved to support
the bill. He trusted the house would &coeds to the third
reeding of the bill.
Sir W. FRASER, as a member of the committee, said be
could not help thinking that the objections to this bill were
pot very strong. leaked, • weaker case than that of the
coeporntion of London he had seldom heard. He went into
the committee rather prejudiced against a scheme of this
Lind, but those prejudices were entirely removed in the
course of the discumion. He desired to give the bill hie
very earnest support.
Mr. TITE, on behalf of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
mid that the opposition of the Board of Work' to the bill
was principally founded on a legal opisioa, to the effect that
certain conditions under which the board was bound tomake
a water way for apa company were nnt repealed by the
ball. He was of opinion, however, that the bill had better
be postponed for another year.
The bill was then read a third time, without a division,
and passed.

CASUAL RELIEF OF THE METROPOLITAN POOR.
Mr. LYALL asked the President of the Poor Law Board
whether he would bring in a bill this session, in order to
carry out the special recommendations of that part of the
report of the poor law committee, which related to the
casual poor of the metropolis, b 0 that raid might be afforded
to that clue by legislation before pert winter.
Mr. said that it was his intention to lay upon
the table to-morrow • bill which would practically give
affect to the recommendations of that committee. Those
recommendations seemed so involve the concurrence of the
Metropolitan Board of Works, and the measure was coom-
gushily under the consideration of the board. The bill was
a very abort one, and bad received the auction of all the
metropolitan unions.

THE NEW FIRE BRIGADE FOR THE METROPOLIf3.

Mr. HANKEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether he bad abandoned the idea of bringing
in a hill this session relating to a new fire brigade for the
metropolis, sod if so, what coarse be proposed to follow re-
spectiog the better security of the metropolis against loss by
fire, in accordance with the recommendation of the com-
mittee on that subject, 1862.
Sir G. GREY bad no hope of being able to istroduoe his
bill this session. An arrangement had been made with the
Metropolitan Board of Worts and the representatives of the
fire-offices ; but at the last moment there bad been some
disagreement as to the amount which the offices were to con-
tribute towards the expense of the new brigade. He hoped,
however, that by next year the difficulty would be removed.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wilted to know how it came to

the expenditure on votes 10 and 11 to the extent of
700,000. He thought too that the sum 490,7021. did not
accurately represent the mums on the navy votes.
Itr. CHILDERS entered into some explanation, and
stated that the net excess was about 300,0001.
General PEEL said that the closes on the army votes
had been caused by the eircitenstance that the manufacture

THE PRUSSIANS AND THE TREATY OF VIENNA,
Yr. AYRTON said that this country had given to the
Premier by the treaty of Visas& a guarantee for the
peaceful posessaion of their Saxon p19,411101:11, and he wished
to know whether any mpreesstations had been made by
this country to the effect that iseentoch as they (the Pros-
Leas) had departed from the provisions of the treaty whisk
settled the limits of the Germanic Confederation, the M-
UM government would not hold itself bound by the article
of the treaty of Vienna in question.
Lord PALMERSTON said that so communication of that
nature had beets made to the Prosaism government, and he
did not thick it would be expedient to follow the example
of P • who at the beginning of the Danish difficulty
declared she might repudiate the treaty of 1852, be-
came Denmark had failed to fulfil certaio obligatioos totally
isdepeodeat of that treaty. We had so right to tell Prussia
that we considered ourselves absolved from the guarantee
given by the treaty of Vienna in consequence of certain
transactions which had taken place in 1864.

THE TREATY OF 1852.

Sir J. PAHINGTON begged to ask the nage lord at the
head at her Majesty's government what be emaciated to
be the present position of the treaty of 1852.
Lord PALMERSTON—The position of that treaty is the
position of any other treaty the condition of which have
been partially found not to be capable of heiog strictly
acted upon. All the contracting parties to that treaty
have been sharing in negotiations, the object of which was
to modify it. It is perfectly oompetent to those who make
a treaty, if after ► lapse of time they find its oenditioas no
longer applicable to the eirounintances of the rase, to agree
to a modi6cation of it ; and that was the result of the Con-
finers lately held in London.

THE HEALTH OF THE POPS.

A letter from Rome of the Bth, in the second
edition of the Times, says :—" The Pope has
had another attack, and that unexpectedly.
On Sunday last he administered the Sacra-
ment of Confirmation to a brother of the ex-
King of Naples, and, while preparing to make him
an address, he was observed gradually to become
weaker and weaker, and at last to sink so far as to
rest his bead on a table close at band. Recovering
shortly after, be withdrew, and sent for his me-
dical attendant, who found that his Holiness was
suffering from a rather strong fever and an
iscressed irritation of the wound in his leg.
The fever continued for several days. Though the
Pope recovered rapidly from the attack which be
had a month or two since, it must not be for-
gotten by those who are preparing for the future
that be is menaced continually by indisposition,
and that at any moment the chair of St. Peter may
be vacant. Of late his Holiness has exerted him-
self much more than is prudent, consistently with
a due regard to health, and causes enough of agita-
tion exist, Heaven knows, to try the enfeebled
frame of an old man between 70 and 80."

Colonel FRENCH asked the Seorerary of Stale for the
Home Department if it was the feet that the Arshbehop
of Canterbury had the power to confer the title of Doctor
of Medicine on persons who had not undergone so esami-
nation before the College of Physicians.
Sir G. GREY said be had sot bees able to aseistaiis what
were the facts of this subject, and could only state that
under an old statute the Archbishop of Canterbury had the
power of conferring the degree of Doctor of Mediciae.
(Laughter.) That power was hardly recognised by the late

The Austrian Gasette professes to mewl the late
naval defeat as a very slight &Sir. "Our kavy
has satisfied military honour ; its numerical feeble-
ness (!) did not prevent it from making the
attack, and it obtained the result which was de-
sired. The blockade of the Danes before the Elbe
is broken, sad this by force of arms."
The Boteehafter of Vienna says : "We are not at
all discouraged because success has not crowned
the first engagement of our fleet with an enemy
familiar with the sea. Does not a Roman historian
recount that the Romans learned of thei.. adver-
saries how to gala naval battles ? We also must
pay for the apprenticeship. It is very natural that
the Danes should be puffed up by their slight ad-
vantage, and give it the proportions of a great
victory, and that this should be believed in Eng-
land."

That, however, which has annoyed the Austrian
press more than the naval defeat, was the joy with
which the result was hailed in England. The
Botethafter says on this head :
The ameba aQ Heligoland has been treated as a &dent

THE BANK LOT, 1844.

Mr. HUBBARD, on behalf of Mr. floypte, saked the
Chancellor of the Excheqoar whether, taking into account
the root looms* of the trade and commerce of Rogked is
the last thirty yearn, be was of opinion that the anasp•
meni of 1844.1imiting the Bank of England Joan issue of
fourteen millions of bank notes, without • omeaspouding
amorist of told, was now commenannte with the daly ma-
atotary requirements of the country.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
question hardlyadmitted of an intelligent tamer without
armed statstuent on the subject of the eniventry. He
might, however, refer to what he had stated • few days
ago. that is his opinion the essential principle of the Bank
Act of 1844 had been proved by experiment to be sound
and necessary for the regulation of the mowelary affairs of
the country. (Hear, hear.) Bat there wee a subsidiary
sad second provision of the act with regard to which be
thought it would be convenient that the attendee of boa
gentlemea ai4ht be drawn. With respect to do particular
points alluded to in the question, all he could say was, than
he was a ooeeseting party to the substance of that para-
graph of the report of the committee of 1848 with niggard
to the lase of 14,000,000 i. of Bask Dotes by the Bank of
&wised on securities. There was a popular implessioa that
the died of an addition to the issue on securities wouLl add
to the practical available circulating medium of the country.
That view the committee declared to be enttnly erraiseoub
sad is that opinion of tits committee he (the Gbaaallor of
the Exchequer) entirely coecurrect. (Hear, hear.)

XL CLIFFORD asked the Secretary at State for the
Home t whether his attention had been called to
the large of pe tar refuse into the River Thames ;
and whether be would set she law in motion to abate •
nuisance so prejudicial to the health of the metropolis.
Mr. HUTT said that the law for proven ft the dacha:ire
of gm water and other imparitaa into the Themes, mat as
it was °attained in the Oanestwasity Act of 1807, had been
pat in force as far, he believed, as was ramble or mica-
, able. The Conservancy Board had been extremely vigi-
lant, and had exerted themselves with vigor° and effect.
He was informed that the impurities of whack hie Daiwa-
' able friend complained did not premed from premises on the

ON THE ROMAN QI7EB lON.

TURIN, KAT 13.

•
The debate on the Roman question was resumed
in to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies.
Signor Alfieri and the Abbe Painsglia urged the
government to depart from their reserve, and take
resolute steps. Signori Laporte and Miceli de-
remitted that the.chamberabookl„ declare the newer
sity for occupying Rome. Signor Mumble° pro-
posed to call upon the Romana to deliberate on
their own destiny. Signor Chivies' desired the
introduction of a law establishing electoral districts
in the Pontifical territory, and deputing the Italian
authorities on the frontiers to carry out the elec-
toral operations. He proclaimed the right of the
Romans to elect deputies, and said that France
could not oppose this action, since, it was not con-
trary to the principle proclaimed by her of the
defence of the head of the church.

The minister declared that the government could
not accept the various proposals, and the debate
was adjourned.

PARK.! •E

In reply to a quail= by Sir J. SHELIZT,
Mr. OOWPER said he was glad to learn that the Metro-
polite.' Board of Works had recognised the ditty which had
hose entrusted to them of preventiag the serious public it
cienveakoce sad danger which arose from the crowded
stets of Piark•lane, and he would oiler them every
facility which his office would enable him to do for
the purpoes of remedying that immerse/moo The
Metropolitee Board of Works thought that the open-
ing of Hamilton•place would be a bettor way at
ineetiog the evil than the whistling of Park.laaa But there
was ocnasiderable doubt upon that poiut—(beet, bear)—and
be believed that a more effectual plan would be to widen
Park-law itself. The carriage way ie the uppertLertion of
Hamilton-place was only 23 feet la width, and would
'be much too small for the relief of the traffic. Northward
of Hamilton-place the property belonged to the crown, and
the crown could not be advised to take any steps siainst
their own lessees. 'Those leaser held good agaiest everything
li but an at; of parliament, and if the etropolitas
were advised to bring in a bill to prolong Hamilton-plan
they would meet with no impediment whatever on the part
of the &detests of the crown. (Hear, hear.)

THE KAFFIR WAR.
Mr. A. MILLS asked the Secretary of State for the
Colonies whether he would lay upon the table of the boon
the recent despatches from the Govan= of the Cape Colony.
relating to the proposed anoimation of the Trans-Kei
territory to British Kaffraria. He also begged to know
whether from recent despatches the hon. gentleman was
able to form any estimate of the proportionate cost of any
future Kaffir war to the imperial exchequer.
Mr. CARDWELL mid that there was no arrangement
between this country and the Cape Orioey providing for the
exposes of any Kaffir war. The result of the recent
thispatchm, as he had stated the other night, was exceed-
ingly satiafactory as to the maintenance of peace in the
co oy.
Lo
ord R. CECIL naked whether the right hoe. gentleman
could Mate what share of the exposes of a Kaffir war would
have to ha defrayed by this country, in the nut of sash a
calamity occurring ; and whether be could form any concep-
tion of the limit of expenditure that would be incurred!
Mr. CARDWELL mid he wished—but unfortunately it
was sot in his power—to state bed *reined what the expense
of any future war would be. He had already stated that
there wee no arrangement as to the expense of any Kaffir
war between this country and the colony. British Kat.
