place, It is impossible to say whether the spirit of fang ishem
and jealousy will not lead them against the Christian& The
consequence of the alarms is a very great check to Use.
I hope the storm will goon blow over, but still I sore
help repeating that I should be glad to see a ship of war In
the harbour, both as &protection to the 5,000 British redden*
and as a check to the evil-diepoeed. Wheu the othhthalt
first took place a vessel of war should have been mot to
each of the ditfereat porta of the country ; but at all events
one ought to have been sent here, where there are so many
British interests at stake." But it was not enly at Smyrna
that alarm wax felt. He (Lord Stratford) had received a
letter, under date al the Ist of August, from Constanti-
nople, expressed in these terms :—" The strong imp
here that Europe will never unite together against the mal-
administration of the Turkish government enco the
eoutionance of these disturbances ; but if the Tuskik Mi-
nistry were to see Blighted and France agree together spot this
punt, we should soon find a reaction arise. Abetter andante
favourable opiortunity cannot arise on which to save this
country, winch is sure otherwise to perish. Any
again to patch up things in the usual diplomatic way
end in nu practical result, and will only postpone the evil
moment. The public mind has been very much excited by
passing events ; there is still apprehension of some out-
break; poverty and discontent still prevail among every
class in the community, and it it impossible to foretell what
may be the result, unless some permanent and speedy
change be effected." He (lord Stratford) thought the lan-
guage of thee letters, proceeding from men of high respect-
ability and great local experience, justified him in
attaching great importance to the answer he might
receive from the Treasury bench. A severe responsibility
fell upon her Majesty's ministers if this opportunity were
not taken to press upon the Turkish government that sys-
teen of reform which they had themselves adopted and
proclaimed, and to which they were pledged upon every
possible ground, not merely of honour, but of the interests
of their own subjects.
Lord WODEHOUSE said that as regarded sending a
vessel of war to Smyrna, it was quite true that great ap-
prehension was felt at Smyrna, and other towns in the
Turkish empire. What had been done was to
send Admiral Martin to the Syrian coat with
instructions to do all in his power for the preservation of
life sod the restoration of tranquillity. Naturally he would
direct his ships from one point to another where danger par-
ticularly threatened. But he (Lord Wodehouse) admitted the
great importance of keeping a strict watch over Smyrna, as
it was a town particularly situated owing to the large num-
ber of its Christian inhabitenta. He would take this op-
portunity of stating that his noble friend (the Duke of
Somerset) had informed him that the squadron now in those
waters consisted of four line of battle ships, two frigates,
lead three corvettes, the former hem the Mariam-
meek the Lord Exmouth, the Victor Emanated, and the
Neptune; the frigates, the Liffey and the Ganges • and the
corvettes, the Racoon, the Mohawk, and the 'Oeradoe.
With reference to what his noble friend had maid relative to
Khorschid Pacha, the most recent intelligence they had re-
wired was to the effect that measures were being taken for
an inquiry into the conduct of Khorachid Paths, which was
even more than suspicious, and required the strictest inves-
tigation. As regarded the general state of Syria, it was
quite obvious that all the energy of the allied forces and of
her Majesty's government must be directed to tbe mesa-
ten of immediate tranquillity. When that was restored,
the proper time would come to consider the various plans
to which the noble lord had alluded for settling the
country on its former basis. Her Majesty's government
had never ceased to impress upon the Turkish government
the necessity of adopting those reform& But what they
wished to see was, not merely reforms upon paper, but
active measures calculated to restore confidence in the
government., create a better feeling in the country, and teed
to the establishment of the Turkish government.
The Marquis of NORMANBY expressed his gratification
at this statement.

idinciielly to a farther question from Lord Stratford de
er,
Lord WODEHOUSE Mid that a •rrios,pompom&
of the representatives of England, Francs, and Emem, had
inquired into the Able of the Samoa. of Greece, in re•
ference to the payment of the loan guaranteed by those
powers. The report of that commission bad been laid be-
fore the House of Commons, sod he would produce A for
the information of their lordships.
GAS (METROPOLIS) BILL.
Lord LLANOVER moved that the report of amendments
be received, and pve notice that he should propose certain
ameodments on the third realm.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY hoped that their lord-
ships would make the bill, before they paused it, what it
was not at present, a bill for the protection of the gas eon-
sumen of the metropolis.
Lord WYNFORD observed that not one gsa reamer in
50 knew anything about the construction of a meter ; aid
that, therefore, it was the easiest thing in the world—he
would not say to defraud them, because he believed there
was no such intention—but to deceive them as to the

mount they used. The price of gas might be nominally
reduced to 24., but it might notwithstanding be still made to
cost the consumer 4. 6d. per thousand.
Lord LLANOVER mid there was very great difficulty in
passing a good act upon any subject in which pa,
water, or railway oompeues were concerned. Me bill as
at first introduced into the other house was • good One ;
but, owing. to the influences which had been brought to
bear upon it, it left that house a much worse measure than
it was even now. Before it passed he should feel it his
du to propose further amendments.
Viscount TORRINGTON said • bill more injurious to
the public interests could not be conceived, and be moved
that the report be received that day three months.
Lord TRURO reminded their lordships that the bill in
its preempt state was the result of an agreement between its
promoters and opponents.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY suggested that the
amendment should not now be pressed ; but he had strong
objections to the bill as it stood. It actually pre the
Board of Works—the only proper function of which was to
regulate the sewers of the metropolis—power to raise money
by • rate in order to defray the enormous expense of the
gas companies in opposing the bill.
Lord REDESDALE said that but for the greet exertions
of the noble lord who had charge of the bill it would never
have come before the house. It came up from the Commons
on the 26th of July, and the 27th was the last day for
reading bills a second time. If, therefore, it was intended
to oppose the bill, it would have been better to let it die •
nature" death by allowing it.to be referred to the examiners
in the usual way. (Bear.)
After • few remarks from Lord TOARDIGTON, the amend-
meet was withdrawn, and the report was weed to.

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER
The Earl of CLAILINDON presented petitions from 102
corporation, of England and Wales in favour of legalising
marriage with • deowieed wife's sister. Petitions bad been
previously presented from the corporations of the follow-
ing towro4:—Bridgewater, CU:ewe, Grimsby, Lancaster,
Leeds, Louth, Ludlow, Northampton, Pontefract, Scar-
borough, Southampton, Tares.
The Earl of CLARENDON in presenting the petitions
in favour of legalising marriage with • deceased wife's
sister, expressed his concurrence with the prayer of
the petitions, his regret at the decision of their lordships in
rejecting Use bill for the purpose of legalising such mai •
risco., added his conviction that there was a peat
change in public opinion cd late on the subject, and hoped
that the law would ere low be altered.
The LORD CHANCELLOR denied that there was any
chanp io public opinion, and said that he adhered to the
view be bad always expelled
Lord WODRHOUSE thought there must have been mine
chance in public opinion, inasmuch as the majority of the
petitions presented to parliament of late were in favour
of legalising thew marriages.
After • few word. from Lord REDUDALZ the petitions
were ordered to lie on the table.
