PUBLIC HEALTH BILL.
Oa the motion that this bill be read a second time,
bir B. HALL said he would take that opportunity of
replying to some of the observations which had bees made ;
and first with regard to those of the hoe. member for Not-
tinghamshire. Re could assure hiss that he had no desire to
curtail discussion on these two bills; on the contrary, he
bad taken a course which would produce greater discussion,
end after the bills cams down from the select commute, he
would follow the suggtio• of Mr. Newdegate, and have
them printed, and afford some time for their consideration
before they were brought es in committee of the whole
house. When he introduced the bills on the 23rd January,
be stated that they ware connected with a subject of vast
interest and some difficulty in legislation. He was more
that ever convinced by the statements which had been made
that day that it was a subject of great difficulty in regard to
legislatko. It wee his duty not to shrink from those dill-
mddes, and be hoped to bring before the select committee
ail the suggestions which had been made to him by moires
lewd asthorities all over the kingdom. His only *et
wee to produce useful measure., and he had no wish to hp
tame with existing interests any further them
wee necessary for the benefit of the publie at kap.
With reference to a suggestion of Lord heymeree, that
the provision in the Public Health hot whisk
provided that the act should come into operation when the
mortality was 23 in 1,000 should be transferred to the
Memos Removal Bill, the difficulty wee that the re-
visions in the Nuisances Removal Bill were only tempeetwyl,
and only came into operation by order in council im Pe
ere of epidemics. He would endeavour to get over the dif-
ficulty and adopt the suggestion, if possible. Wittstmrtad
to the question of boundaries and the alteration of
that difficulty must be met by the select committee, where
mob details would be better considered. He knew that grist
objections exieted to an imported provision in the Public
Health Bill, namely, the compulsory powers to take land
foe the purposes of the act. That was a valuable power; but
every care would be taken to guard private interests
while at the same time the public benefit was dulyoonsidered.
But looking to the expense of private bills for local purposes,
he thought that the time was come when some other ma-
chinery should be devised for effecting those purposes. As
a specimen be would state that the expense of persist the
Halifax Water Works Bill amounted to noises thee 7,,401.
That chewed that it was time to alter this eyeless ; and it
would be a subject for the select committee to consider
whether some other tribunal could not be substituted for
the present. After alluding to some other details of the
bill, the right hon. baronet concluded, by expressing his
hope that by bringing all the suggestions be bad received
before the select committee, and passing the bill through
that committee as soon as possible, •orne good and eacient
measures would be passed at no distant period of the ses-
sion. (Hear, bear.)
The bill was then read a second time.
COMMON LAW PROCEDURE (IRELAND) BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
SUPPLY.
The house then went into committee of supply.
Mr. WILSON moved that a sum not exceeding
17,183,0001. be granted to her Majesty, to pay off and dis-
charge Exchequer Bills charged on the aids of 1866 ceps

WILSON then moved that towara making good the

agreed to, without remark ; as was likewise a vote of
1,300,000 i. for the deficiency in the greats for the OOTTISO
the year ending the 31st March, 1855.
ARMY SERVICE AMENDMENT BILL.
Mr. F. PEEL moved the second reading of this bill, the
object of which he stated was to allow the enlielmient of
for • less period than ten yearc Thatbringing in the measure rested partly on
of a technical nature, and partly on considerable, et
policy. The act of 1847 provided that geldings tad be
enlisted for a period, not smelling ten yews; bet
there were certain schedules attached to the sat
which required the enlistment to De for ten yens. sod
the object of this measure was simple to alter then Nil.•

thought it would be well to obtain men of 33 ea di yeas
of age. Of course it was competent for them now*, astavt
men of any age ; bat it was necessary to held mat
greater inducements than now ezisted, and the Judgement
held oat was the option of enlisting for three or Ave years.
It might be interesting to the house to know bow the re-
cruiting we, going on. In the year 1853, the somber of
recruits was 11,545 ; in 1854, they were noises than 34,844;
of whom 1,942 were volunteers from the militia. In the
month of Jusuary of the present year the enlistments were
so lees than,41,092, of whom 1,190 were from the militia and
that large number had been continued daring the three
weeks of the present month. (Hear, hear.)
Colonel FORESTER said the noble member for Tet-
uan had on a former occasion made arms disparaging ob-
servations respecting the household cavalry. Now, in
1853, be (Colonel Forester) was in the camp at Chub.
ham, with the Scotch Greys, the 4th Light Deer
goons, and the Bth Hussars. They were in MEW
for ea weeks ; and he would appeal to any may
man who had the opportunity of °laming whether OM SF
giment he (Colonel Forester) had the honour of eennamit.
Mg did not go through that period with fewer andionle
and with fewer fells over the ground than any Klee es*
meat. They went through their evclations at tate SNOB pose
as the others did, and with fewer accidents. The Maureen

Guards was a storm sad a half—be meant ghee they were

they asked in the committee bow this was theywere informed
that each of these regiment. must be considered as • nucleus,
and that as soon as war came they would fill them
up. War did nine, bet they did not fill them up ;
they sent them abroad as they were. He was
convinced that this was an admirable system for giving
patronage to the Horse Gonda, but it was not a goods ys-
tem for the efficiency of the service. He spoke of As
Household Brigade mere especially, because when they
could only raise 9,000 cavalry he thought they should not
all be light cavalry. He did not for a momeat dispute their
officiary at Waterloo. Fresh from this country, they
would overcome almost anything that was against these ;
but if the hoe. and gallant alone' had referred to the
Peninsula he would have found they did not do so well.
If he had known this question was to have come

men me a prat drawback.
Colonel ENO% suggested that the men should net be
enlisted for a lees period than five years.
Mr. F. PEEL mid the period would probably be for three
years.
The bill was then read a second time.
MUTINY BILL.
The Marine Mutiny Bill and the Mutiny Bill were sever-
ally read a second time.
