good work in the Islam. Some hit at the slide
oldie church of England, mit the growing intelligence of the
country woad outgrow the limits of the church. Be—and

the church amid expand to meet all the wanes of the future,
and as it never bad been found wanting in the emergencies
of the past, so it was doing its duty in the present,
and so it would adapt itself also to the future.
(Cheers.) They were strong in the affections of the
people beyond what they had been in peat times.
A gnat deal of merit was due to the operation
of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (Hear.)
To its exertioes was due the establishment of the bishopric of
Gibraltar. He believed that a greet field would be open to
this society in Europe, as well as in more distant plams, and
that the great convulsions which were now tuningplace
amongst the nations would enable this country to bear • part
in grading the gospel of Christ not only amongst countries
▪ distant as India, but amoopt countries which had been
debarred from the advantage of the tree use of the word of
God. (Hear, beer.)
" The health of the Bishop of Brisbane and the Clergy of

honoured, and impended to by the Bishop of BRIERANZ.
The Loan MAYOR next proposed the health of the Lord
Bishop of Bath and Wells, with thanks for the excellent

The Bishop of BATH and Waxte, in replying, said he

non of the rake throughout the world. (Chan.)

The Loan MAYOR then proposed " The HORN of Com-
mons," coupling therewith the name of Lord John Russell,
whom his lordship said he had admired from his youth,
although he took the liberty of an Englishman to differ with
him sosusthins. He felt assured that his lordship would nee
all his let ems In the government to promote the wading
of the &donne la the schools of India. (Hear.)
Leal J. Hussars said be did not think he could
make a speech in answer to the remarks a/ the
Mayor, became he felt he did not then legally belong
to the House of Commons. He wee not, therefore, the
portion to represent it at his lordship's table.
at he bed had the honour of being a member of the
House of Commons for the Citufilondon, and hoped te
so be at some Mum time—(a )—he might perhaps
venture to Warn thank se • mem of that house.
could still less venture to make a speech la his amenity et
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. But be could heartily
respond to the wish of the right rev. prelate, that this
country ao*ltkremain at peace. (Hear bear.) It was not
from any view the they adopted the policy of neu-
trality, whir:bland met with the general assent of the country.
It was not merely with a view of saving expenditure—
though that was • great public object—it was not merely
with • view to save life, though that was a humane object—
, but his belief wee that peace was more likely to to restored
to the world whilst they refrained from entering
into hostilities and waited for the time when
contending reunions would be somewhat calmed
down, end the voice of reason recommending terms
of peace, to which all parties end all the belligerents
would asinett, would be listened to. He thought his lordship
was quite right in wishing health to the House of Commons
L when it was remembered that its members were about to sit
day and night during the months of July and August in the
clue vicinity of the Thames. ("Hem," end laughter.) There
wee one toplo which his lordship alluded to, but which was
too motions for discussion on such an occasion. (Hear.) It
was • topic on which the wishes of all MB mad be the same,
upon which the mode of proceeding to be adopted required
the greatest caution, and the greatest toleration for the opt-
. Mons of our fellow-sotjeots is India. (Hear, hear.) But
vr;th regard to the object no man could more heartily agree
than he did... Mow, hear.)
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY proposed the health of
the Lord Mayor.
Mr. BOTRIEROR-PATCOURT, M.P., proposed the Megietrecy
; of the City ; which was responded to by Sir George snot.

Mr. MONTAGES Gore, in moving the adoption of the re-
port, urged the beneficial effects of a proper absence of re-
creation on the moral axed physical character of the popula-
tion. The manly character of Earlishoun was in no small
degree owing to the nature of the sport* in which they were
in the habit of engaging fo their youth.
Mr. SLANEY, M.P., seconded the motion, and urged the
necessity of takieg some steps to pat the society in operation. 1
There were many spew is London which might be nude
available, and porticoes of unfrequented squares weld be de-
voted to that purpose. The resolution was then agreed to.

THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY.
Dr. Lwrnier, the medical otHoer of health, Demented a
report, which stated that serious complaints had.been made
of the state of Billingsgate-market, the smell from the fish
being, it is said, so off-neive that firers are entertained for the
health of those who frequent the neighbourhood. A latter
had been addressed to him (Dr. Letbeby) from the vestry
clerk of Newington' stating that smallpox wu greatly on
the increase in thatdistriet, and soliciting the co-operation of
the court In procuring the passing of some stringent measure
on the subject. In the City, however, the deaths from that
disease were below the average. Dr. Letheby gave it as his
opinion that a third vaccination is required at dtstant periods
to test the protective powers of the first ; and he behaved
that much of the smallpox which has prevailed of late has
occurred amongst those who have been owe vaccinated.
Another subject for consideration is, whether the vaccine
virus, modified, as it must be, by passing through so many
individual systems, is not weakened in process of time io av
to lose its salutary influence. All this deserves as much at-
tention as the compulsory powers of the act, and is a fit sub-
ject for the consideration of sanitary boards. The co-ope-
ration of the court, therefore, with the vestries of the
metropolis in bringing the question to an issue, so as to
provide the means for checking the spread of the disease,
would be a public benefit.
The mortality returns for the last fortnight are is the ag-
gregate below the average, although the number of deaths
for the first of the two weeks wee excessively high.
