LONDON TRAMWAY BILL.
On the order of the day for the second reeding of this bill,
Sir B. HALL said he hoped the house would be induced to
postpone the second reading of this bill for six months.
Private bills were usually referred to a select committee, but
this bill was of such a nature that It deserved the cossidas-
tion of the house. This company asked for power to wro-
priate 18 feet in width of the public thoroughfares of the
metropolis, In order that their omnibuses might run on rails
laid for that purpose. Now se some of the public thorough-
fares were only 18 feet wide, only one foot would be left of
each side for the accommodation of carriages, carts, sad all
the ordinary traffic. (Laughter.) It must be admitted that
there was hardly a thoroughfare in the metropolis at purest
sufficiently large to accommodate the existing baffle, sad he
therefore thought it • monstrous proposition to ask per-
mission to appropriate 18 feet of a highway to the parposr
of a private omnibus company. (Hear, hear.) He would
therefore move that the bill be read a second time that day
six months.

TlT;;iotinn for the mond reeding of the bill was negatived
without a division.

ST. LIIONARD'B, SHOREDITCH, PARISH BILL.
Ou the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. ESTCOURT stated that a deputation had waited
upon him with rolerrince to this bill. After sows waver-
Ration the parties assented to the introduction of provisions
such as he suggested with regard to the election of guardians ;
and this being so, be had no objection to the sexed ?fading
of the bill.

SWITZEItLAND.

The French Envoy in Switzerland (says the
Swabian Mercury) has expressed to M. Migy, the
President of the government of Berne, his regrets at
the rigorous manner in which the Chancellor of the
Legation lately enforced the new regulations con-
nected with passports as related to that gentleman, •
and states that the circumstances would not have
occurred if he (the minister) had been aware of the
application of M. Migy. M. Migy replied that
he wanted no indulgence to be made in his favour,
and that if the French government did not think it
its duty to exempt the first magistrate of the canton
from the usual formalities, he should submit to it as
though he were a simple citizen.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives, in its
sitting of Saturday, was occupied with the question
of the recruitment of the army. Petitions have been
for some time past getting up throughout the
country calling for the abolition of the present
system, and those petitions were presented to the
Chamber covered with upwards of 71,000 signatures,
of whom 1,200 were burgomasters, or other members
of the municipality. The committee charged to
examine these documents having reported favourably
on them, the Minister of the Interior, M. Bogie:,
opposed the conclusions of the committee ; and while
admitting the necessity of a reform in the details of
the present system, pointed out the inconveniences
which would arise from voluntary enlistment. The
petitions were ultimately rejected by 76 to 6.

LADY BULWRR LYTTON.

In reference to an allusion made to the case of this
lady in our yesterday's impression, we are requested
to state that the place of her ladyship's temporary
detention was not an asylum, but a private halm
that sr/facility for immediate legal inquiry was
afforded Sir E. Sulwer Lytton ; and the most
nunnery access given to the physician, the legal
adviser, end the relatives of Lady Salwer Lytton.
Papers substantiating the above statements have
been also laid before us. We will only add that the
reference made to the ease was simply for the pur-
pose of supplying a resent and striking illustration of
the want of caution with which medical certificates
of insanity are too often granted. There was not
the remotest intention of alluding to the case as
one of exceptional hankness or cruelty.

PHILOLOGICAL SCHOOL

On Tuesday the annual distribution of prizes to the
students of this school took place under the Luepke' tithe
Bishop of LONDON, in presence of a large number of ladies
and gentlemen interested in the welfare of the institution.
Yr. A emorr, the head master and secretary, read his
report, which gave a satisfactory aoconnt of the progress of
the school, and stated that during the past year the attend-
use of pupils had been on the whole regular and remarkably
punctual. The discipline of the school hod been effectually
maintained, the boys' conduct having been respectful towards
their instructors, and kind and courteous towards each
other. The number of pupils in attendance in the
midsummer term, 1866, wee 143; in the corresponding
term of tut year, 168; and now it was 202. For
this considerable and rapid incresee they were indebted to the
new and commodious building erected by the liberality
of the friends and supporters of the institution. By means
of the new arrangements the business of the school was
carried on with ease and comfort both to masters and to pu-
pils; and the extensive playground presented advantages
which were highly appreciated by the boys. The masters
had had during the past year abundant evidence that their
former pupils had made good use of the instruction they re-
ceived here. Of the boys who gained rewards at the lea
examination, the 'majority had obtaimed appcintnientsof trust
and importance ; and In every instance they had discharged
the duties entreated to them in • manner which had pro-
duced the most satidectory results.

particularly be rendered on this special occasion. I have to
thank some gentlemen t for oonferring on me the dis-
tinguished altos into who h I was this morning inaugurated.
I feel my induction to such an office to oe a great distinction,
se 1 doubt whether the list of those who have filled any
reuoicipel situation in this country can present a stoceakei
of man so great in arms, so eminent in learning, or so die-
m politics, in intelligeoce, and merit. It is, sir,
:etttiodesty la me to say I feel that my name it
unworthy to be clewed in the same list with theirs, although
I thank you for hteing placed It there. Bat, at the same

lived is time of camp rod disquietude, in dram of various

inadiesteed sod ulna egusalated, but whom aonaCidelol

by unworthy arts, or to flatter the nation it was his duty to

SOUTHWARK,

William Roberts, the driver of cab No. 109, was charged
before Mr. Combs with careless driving, and causing damage
to one of the General Company's omnibuses.
It appeared from the evidence of Edward Miller, the driver
of the latter, that about 10 o'clock on the morning of the 7th
inst. be was coming out of the railway terminus at London-
bridge, when the pri.oner drove against his vehicle in a care-
less manner, causing damage amounting to two pounds.
The case was fully proved, when Mr. Combo ordered the
defendant to pay 21. and costs, or two months' imprisonment.
Mr. Hudson, one of the mansof
manger. the London Gauen]
Omnibus Company, here stepped forward and complained
the conduct of the drivels an conductors of Kite's Associa-
tion, who canned all the obstruction near the Elephant and
Castle which gave his worship so much trouble. The vehi-
cles belonging to the company some time ago made arrange-
ments so that no complaints could be made against them.
They had hired an extensive piece of ground near Mr. Rea's
Horse Repository, where their omnibuses drew in after dis-
charging their paareagere, sad as soon as they were called
out by the timekeeper they proceeded straight on their jour-
ney. But Kite's Association obstructed the street, and
loitered by the kerb near the Rockingham Arms, thereby
taking all the pamengers, at • loss of fall 201. a week to the
emMraCit;mbe said he had seen those obstructions on Satur-
day morning, and be was surprised the police did not put a
stop to it, As the company had kept faith with the police in
thMr excellent arrangements, the other omnibuses moat be
looted miter. . .

Mr. Hudson told his worship that 01 they wanted was fair
play, and to protect the shareholders of the company he made
thaw obarrattana.
Haesy Stew, alioansed conductor, formerly in the employ
of the Omnibus Company, but discharged for mis-
conduct, was abargual with biting the finger of James
Maartly, pollosocestable 134 N, in the execution of his
duty.
The caw said ha was on duty near the Obelisk, at the
Elephant and Castle, when be saw the prisoner drunk and
annoying some ladles, soliciting them to ester one of kite's
cesuibura.. Two of the ladles cams to witness and com-
plained of his conduct, and as he was endeavouring to re-
move him be seized hold of the forefinger of his right bawl
and nearly bit it off. He, however, overpowered him, awl
took him into croatody.
Mr. Combs sestanced him to fourteen days hard Lam,
and detained his beam.

On the order RtrtissTeieni7edieiortitis NB,
' Sir H. WI LLOiJO RBY wished so know, baton he cau-
-1 seated to the farther program of the bill, whether the eels
proposed was to be levied oa the owner or occupier, or to he •
joint obligation. The hem. member proceeded to review the
manner in which the present sot had been administered, sad
complained that the late Chief Commissioner of Works bed
exceeded his powers, by taking upon himself to prepare a
plan of drainage. He cautioned the house against guiren-
teeing so large a sum as three millions, without having had
some definite plan laid before them.
Mr. ARROYO complained that the government, shrinking
from responsibility, bad attempted to throw the whole task
of purifying the name upon the Board of Worts.
He suggested that as the hot weather was post, and
as the proposed scheme, if adopted, could not be brought
into operation for five or six years, they would lose nothing
by postponing the subject until another session.
Mr. LOWE hoped that before they entrusted the Metro-
politan Board of Works with the power of levying three
millions of money to expmtd as they pleased in carrying out
this drainage scheme, sad before they pledged the credit of
the country in gustranessing the repayment of the money,
they ought to satisfy themselves that that body was worthy
of being entrusted with so large a deposit, end that the
money would be expended in a manner the most beneficial to
thole who would have to contribute it. He did not know
whet had recommended that board to the especial favour of
the government, bat without &seise to say anything diem-
spett ful of them, he confused that he was unable to discover
any reamer for entertaining a very high opinion of them.
He understood that If the scheme of the government referees
eters seduced eo as to be adapted only for a population not
exceeding 31 millions the cost would be only 4,000.0004,
Mr. HRADLAM regretted that they were called upon to it
disown this measure at so late a period of the session.
Mr. R. WORTLEY gave reedit to the government for the
gnat etteeelea they bad paid to the subject, but thought
that the anellement which had prevailed in regard to it bad
Ind them Is aliempt legislation upon it with toe much heats.
LOPE J. MAIfNERS said that he had often heard that

OVERLAND ROUTE.

Mr. NICOLL WWI the Secretary of State for War If the

Indian reinforcements by that route daring the oolder months

Mr. T. Difii6olllllsasii the i;cieTary— of State for
War if he was aware that certain differences had arisen be-
tween Colonel the Earl of Wilton and Lieutenant• Colonel
Dicke" both of the fad Tower Hamlets Militia, with refer-
ence to the affairs end discipline of that regiment ; and, if it
watts's, that the Constable of the Tower had made en appli-
cation to have Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson's name, unless be
would consent to resign, removed from the Army List, with-
out giving that officer, after thirty-three rare service at
home and abroad, any opportunity of vindicating his conduct
before a proper military tribunal
General I'EEL said that the Constable of the Tower had
celled for the dismissal of Colonel Dickson, as the
only measure he could adopt, because when • regi-
ment of militia was disembodied, a court martial,
or of inquiry. was imporible. He (General Peel) had
requested Lord Combermere himself to inquire into the alle-
gations of the Earl of Wilton respecting Colonel Dickson,
end to report on his responsibility the result to him (General
Peel) Lord Combermere but done so, giving his opinion
that the charges were proved ; bat be (General Peel) not
quite agreeing with his lordship, although he believed the
management of Colonel Dickson's regiment had been quite
contrary to all the rules of the 'orrice, had appointed • num-
ber of Milan to institute • further inquiry, and to report to
him the result.
