B. Graham, who had been left on the coast of Africa, and it
was believed had been captured by the natives ?
Lord PALMERSTON hod not received ay information,
but he Ind caused inquiries to he made on the spot, and as
soon as any intelligence could be obtained, it should be com-
municated to the part ia interested.

Mr. F. MAULE said, that officers at present employed
ea relief somotitu-es in Ireland would be required to take
their turn foe foreign service, and not be considered exempted

HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.
In answer to a question by the Earl of LINCOLN,
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he could not fix the day for
the second reading of the 11. alth of Towns Bill at present.
His noble friend (Lord Morpeth) had to see certain parties,
to consider their objection., and whether certain parte of the
bill could not be expunged and others alter. Till his
noble friend saw those natio,. het road not fix a day.
PORTUGAL.
Mr. BORTHWICK said he wished to pot a question to
the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, re-
specting a rtinsinarhich had been sanctioned by a statement
which appeared in the Journal des Ussbals, to the effect that
the governments of France, Spain, and England, intended
to interfere in the present struggle in Portugal, and to hose
that interference on a treaty which, as the provisions of it
were completely fulfilled, he apprehended was now extinct.
He alluded to the Treaty of Quadruple Alliance. On the
26th ult. the Journal des baud., confirmed its report by a
reference to a Spanish newspaper. He thought it right that
the noble lord should set the public mind at rest on the sub-
ject. He alao wished to ask what were the nature and
extent of the interference in the present struggle in Portugal
which her Majesty's minister in Lisbon haul been instructed
to employ ?
Lord FALMERSTON said, in answer to the first ques-
tion, that the present state oft dogs in Portugal was not, in
the opinion of her Majesty's government, a state of things to
which the engagements of the quadruple alliance were appli-
cable, inasmuch as that treaty was made in oonsequence of a
disputed succession, and St present there was no question of
disputed succession in Portugal. With regard to the second
question, ho was persuaded the house would feel it was not
fur him to answer it in the shape in which it was put. All
he would say was, that her td °jetty's government were moat
maims to bring about • pacification or en accommodation
between the contending parties in Portugal, and no effort
would be omitted on their part to heal the differences which
existed in that country.
RAILWAY DEPARTMENT.
' Mr. GOULBU RN mud that there was a sun of 17,00 W,
in the miscellaneous estimates for the railway department,
and he wished to suggest whether it would not be advisable
that the house should have before it the establishment of the
r office for which the sum was to be voted.
Mr. PARKER said there could be no objection to that.

Lord J. RUSSELLeard that the Ezernment wsealdjge

THE GREAT BRITAIN.
Mr. H. BERKELEY wished to know from the hon. gen-
tleman, the Secretary ta the Admiralty, whether it was the
intention of the Admiralty to take any notice of the plan of
breakwater which had been invented by Mr. Brunel, and
carried out by Capt. Claxton, for protecting the Greet Britain
steam-ship; and which had been found to withstand the
equinoctial gales?
Mr. WARD said that the plan had been submitted to the
Admiralty ; sod it wee the opinion of the Board that there
was nothing new in the principle ; it having been already
adopted in many cases with sumer.
Mr. BERKELEY said, it was not the same as had been
heretofore used; and he considered it wait by the attention
of the government.
THE NAVY.
Lord INOESTRE said that ho understood there was to
be a " programme of works " of ships to be proceeded with
at the different dockyards, and that they were to be sub-
mitted to a committee of reference. He had heard that on
Thursday last an order had been sent directing that the
Royal Frederick, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess
Royal vessels should be put into the hands of the surveyor o.
the navy. He wished to know whether that information
was correct; wham r they bad been previously submitted to
a committee of reference for examination and approval; and
whether there was any objection to give inf.irmauon respect-
ing the programme of works ?
Dlr. WARD said that there was no objection M Five any
information as to the "programme of works " of ships to be
proceeded with. From the notice which the noble lord had
given, he could not know that he meant to put the other
questions, and he was not then prepared to answer them.

Mr. ESCOTT wished to know when the papers relative
to the dismissal of Mr. Langslow from hisjudgeship in Ceylon
would be reedy.
Mr. HAW ES said the papers were very voluminous, but
they would be print d and presented at farthest next week.
FACTORY BILL.
On the motion that this bill be reed a third time,
Mr. TRELAWNY said that, in moving that the bill be
read a third time that day six months, he would address the
house en the subject of a clause of which he had given no-
tice. That clause was, that the bill should eoQtlaue in ope-
ration for only three years. The measure was aelkaowledged
by all to be an experiment, and the lasgesn even of the
working dames, for whose benefit it was dssmasi, in refer-
ence to it, was, that" they were wiMed te nick it." It
roe
was a measure, accompanied by levensd at the in-
dustry of the country. The tonna whisk bed been
addressed to the house showed that wen guided by no
fixed principles in legislating at tile There waned
to be street doubt how it would spans. If the hems
adopted the clause which he prams& they would be able le
