FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1857,

THE DAY'S NEWS.

The Deck and Health Committees held their
usual meetings yesterday. At the former, several
applications ware made for berths at the new
Landing Stage, also one from the St. George
Steam Tug Company for an office on the Stage,
which were referred to th,e Marine Committee.
Mr. Bold called attention to the subject of surplus
cargo at the Stanley, Albert, and Wapping, ware-
houses, since the opening of the docks connected
therewith. The Dock solicitor, Mr North, read
the case submitted to counsel on the subject, and
his opinion, in which the committee were recom-
mended to continue their present practice respect-
ing surplus cargo, as being better, and more con-
sistent with their character of public justices,
acting for the benefit of all parties concerned.
Mr. Bold's motion for a return of the surplus
cargo at the docks in question was agreed to,
and the committee separated.
The proceedings at the Health Committee were
of a mere routine character. The medical officer
reported that the state of the public health was
below the average of the last seven years. The
deaths show an increase of 14—Diarrhom were 73,
being 18 more than the corrected average. The
mean temperature was 68, being 7 3-10 above the
average of former years. This return does not
prop up the confilent assertion of Mr. Hodson, at
the council meeting. His assertions respecting
the health of the borough, has been completely
refuted by the late returns presented to the com-
mittee by the medical officer.
The meetings of the Toxteth Park guardians,
and the Wellesley commissioners yesterday, are
reported in another part of to-clay's impression,
but they were totally devoid of anything to war-
rant special notice.
The election for the county of Middlesex, vacant
by the elevation of Lord Hobert Grosvenor to the
peerage, took place yesterday. Mr. Byng was re-
turned without opposition He addressed the
electors at much length ; the chief point of his
speech having reference to the present state of
affairs in India, and hinted that the time for
changing the Government of India to the Home
Administration had come. Tie npvt.
support any comprenensive measure ot Par] la-
me u tary Reform, and to vote in favour of the
ballot, and it was his intention to give his support
and irfluence to the admission of the Jews into
Parliament. As a mater of course the hon gen-
tleman's statements were well received, and he
concluded his address amidst the hearty plaudits
of the crowds asssmbled on and around the
hustings.
At this particular season of the year, there are
always a variety of political rarnours afl at. Just
now much gossip prevails in several quarters
respecting certain Ministerial changes. It is said
that during the recess Lord Palmerston will make
a strenuous effort to remodel and strengthen his
Cabinet with regard to the Board of Control, which
Mr. Vernon Smith is doomed by common consent
to resign, The more general opinion is that Sir
Charles Wood will lead the Admiralty, and
succeed Mr. Smith. In such a case it is considered
likely that Sir James Graham will become First
Lord of the Admiralty. Lord e Panmure is
reported as anxious to resign, to be succeeded by
Mr. Cardwell or Mr. Herbert. Admiral Berkeley,
the Senior Naval Lord of the Admiralty, wilt
retire, having lost his seat in Parliament, and we
hear will be succeeded by Admiral Peelle'', M.P.
for Brighton. Batt all this is only talk—the truth
really lies in the anxiety of Lord Palmerston to
reign over Cabinet Councils that will be a little
more influential.
In another part of to-day's paper will be found
another case of brutality at see, by a captain to one
of his apprentices. The youth was treated with
such barbarity that he was driven mad, and
to end hie sufferings, which he declared he could
not endure any longer, he jumped overboard and
was drowned. Truly these rascally captains
imitate the ferocity of a " Bengal tiger." The strong
arm of the law should be naade to reach them, and
a terrible example ma-le of each and any one who
sets at defiance every feeling Gf humanity. The
case will agiin be brought before the magistrates,
when further revelations will be made. The
mention of this case reminds us of the murder in
the Queen's prison. De Salvi, although actually
sentenced to penal servitude for a felonious assault
upon I-is victim, will have to stand his trial for
murder.

There is not much continental news of moment
this morning. FI om Paris we learn that the
Emperor has intimated his intention to proceed to
Germany, where the long-talked of meeting between
him an 1 the E nperor Alexander will certainly take
place. The Czar is expected to visit Warsaw on
the 6th inst. He is to be at Berlin on the 14th.
The Camp of Chalets has become an object of
great curiosity. Not only do the Parisians, but
thousands of the peasants flick to view the great
change which has taken place. Marseilles letters,
of Tuesday, announce that the French squadron had
left the coasts of Corsica for Tunis, in consequence
of the measures taken by the Bey against the per-
petrators of the recent acts of violence not being
considered satisfactory or sufficient. There were
always persons here who prophesied that whatever
the Bey might do, the squadron would sail. The
story of this new project for interference reads
strangely enough in view 3 of the revelations just
brought to light at Algiers. India continues to
occupy the aetention of the Paris press, to the
exclusion of almost everything else. The Debats
gives it as its opinion that the barbarous anxiety
expressed by some of the London papers for the
utter destruction of Delhi wilt die away,
according as the insurrections approaches
its termination. The Gazetts de France also
expresses itself in energetic language against the
terrible chastisement which has been proposed for
Delhi, and points to the fact that all the conti

rental journals of high standing have protested,
in the name of ci►ilization and humanity
against the cry of vengeance which has been
raised.

Private letters from Florence state that the Pope
has not succeeded in the secret object of his visit,
which was to induce the Tuscan Government to
abolish the well-known Leopoldine laws, by which
the ambitio❑ of the Catholic clergy in that State
