SALS AT TEI EAST INDIA HOUSE. —Yesterday
morning it was announced be means of large placards whisk
tended greatly to disfigure the venerable building. that "the
home in which Mr. John Company lived and died is to be
let, or to be sold to the highest bidder, his successor going
further west." Prior to being altogether disposed cf, the
old place is to be dismantled, end on Monday, May 6, the

been cleared out thefreehold of the old house deaf is to be sold,

It appears that is the early days of the company the busi-

The skin, from its large extent, deserves to be ranked
among the great organs of the body, and belongs especially
to that group that are commonly called emunctory—in other
words, the cleansers or purifiers of the blood. la this mass
it ranges side by side with the liver and kidneys ; and all
thiegs considered, it would be a difficult problem for say
physiologist to solve, to determine which of the three de.
gores to stand before the others in importance. These
three organs are sometimes called the scavengers of tie
burly ; and they may with considerable truth be regarded
as throe great and important systems of purification and
drainage.
Now, if to drain the system of its impurities, to cleanse
and purify the blood of the animal economy, three greed
systems of drainage are required, the inference is plain, that
one would not be enough--that two might perform the,
office, but with • attain upon the machinery. But to be

• great number are five or six miles distant from the parish

vided • site and endowment to the value of
2,0001. (Applause.) Besides this, the new branch
of the society (for the subdivision of populous parishes) is
working most successfully. I believe that the provision of
the clergy, and the raising of the spiritual instead of the
material church in the fret instance (to use the words of my
lamented friend Dr. Arnold), will be found the right mode
of advancing the operations of this society. But when I
look at other circumstances connected with the society,
I must my Ido feel the deepest gratitude. Last year
I wad itted, in aoconknce with the rule I laid dons,
to bold about 60confirmations in the dioosse,and am making
arrangeemots to hold about the same number in the present
veer. The numbers that attended, the numbers confirmed,
the number in the congregations, and the earnest
attention and interest that were taken, all had
me to believe that the church of England
Is taking a hold on the population at bop, which
mast be matter of the meet grateful feeling as the pert of
every one who desires its prosperity. (Applause) We
have had, indeed, our difficulties and our opponents. Of
these I will not now go out of my way to speak further than
what I believe my bounden duty, to express my deep regret
and horror that there should have been found traitors
within our camp, holding high and dignified offtoss—(hear,
hear) —who have been the most fatal betrayers of the truth
to whisk they were once witnesses. In speaking of the
work which hat excited so much notice, I speak of it as one
who has carefully examined it, for I had to laser • conscien-
tious official, as well as personal, testimony with
respect to it, and I do believe that, for the last two or
three centuries, no work more deleterious in every way has
named from the prim coming under the sanction of per-
sons professedly ministers or members of the church of
England, than the volume called "Essays and Reviews."
Nnr will I for • single moment, however my personal
feelings might interfere, conceal my deliberate conviction
that every partner in that work is equally guilty. (Cheers.)
I cannot allow that an apparent moderation which has
but paved the way for the more dangerous doctrines which
followed, should be pleaded in extenuation of what I con-
sider • foul and grievous wrong. (Hear, hear.)

The hygienic properties of the bath are thus of Commons upon this subject. Speaking of the Iteli-
stated : manse efforts made this session in porlienieht to increase
the franchise, the hog. gentleman referred to Mr. Locke
King's motion, which he said he had gives his weeniest
support, and to Mr. Baines's motion for reducing the fran-
chise to 61. householders in boroughs, which he had also
supported. He thought these efforts to introduce indi-
vidual measures, and the support they received, were valu-
able, as showing the failings which really did exist, and
they showed also which of their representatives were to be
relied upon. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman, after some
further remarks, spoke of hie own statement to his constitu-
ents at the last election. He then told the non•electors, to
whom be felt obliged for haring come forward and consulted
bins, and hie answer, of course, applied generelly,when they
asked him to give a formal pledge upon certain questions,
that he would not pledge himself-that he would go to pee.
lenient as an independent member, and not as a pledged
delegate. (Loud cheers.) In doing this he smoldered he
was taking the most honourable course-it course in
which be felt he could most effectually repressot their
interests and discharge the duties which devolved upon
him. (Hear, bear.) With respect to Mr. Bisines's Lill, he
would give it all the support he could, but he had been told
it would be thrown out by a much huger majority than was
Mr. Locke King's bill. lie thought, however, that it would
be most nowise and most unjust on the part of government
and on the part of the house, if, while the principle of the
bill had been recoguised, they were to refuse to allow the
mond reading. Speaking of the redistribution of seats,
Mr. Footer alluded to what be laid in fanner years told his
constituents. He considered this one of the mat impor-
tant features in any measure of reform which might be
offered. At the mane time it must be admitted that it was
a difficult matter. For his own port, while adhering to his
expressed principles upon the subject, he would accept as an
instalment any measure that might be offered, however
small, as an earnest of what must afterwards come. (Cheers.)
With regard to the ballot, be need hardly tell them how
warm an advocate ha was of it. (Hear hear.) He had
always felt it to be his duty to support Mr. Berkeley in his
motions on the subject, and he thought that the house
ought to allow the bill to be introduced, so that an opportu-
nity might be given of having its principles discussed, as
was not thecae when leave was refused to bring in the bill,
He thought they ought to give Mr. Berkeley's bill the same
chance as they gave Mr. Locke King's and Mr. Baines's.
Hs cordially agreed with what Mr. Whitehurst had said,
that the people had a right to demand the ballot in any
measure of refer that might be proposed. The hon. gen•
demon thou west on to speak of the question of church

came law this session, yet he had great hopes that some
adjustment of the question would be arrived at which would
settle it. At the same time he declared that be would not
become a party to any adjustment or settlement which did
