INTRAMURAL BURIALS (IRELAND), &a.,
BILL.

The Earl -f WICKLOW begged to ask the noble earl
the President of the Council what bad become of the
above bill, which had been read a second time be-
fore the Easter recess ?

Earl GRANVILLE said that the Government had
carefully considered the objections to the bill referred
to, aud, considering that there was great weight
in them, they thought it desirable that the bill should be
remodelled, and should be introduced in a new shape in
the other house of Parliament. He believed that the
bill had been read a second time in the other house,
but owing to the pressure of more important business,
that bill as well as many Others had been given up.
The Earl of ALEMIARLE presented petitions from
the county of Denbigh and other places in favour of the
abolition of church rates.

NUISANCES REMOVAL AMENDMENT BILL.
On the order of the day for the house going into com-
mittee on this bill the further consideration of the•bill
was resumed from July 10, at clause 28, in which Mr.
Dillwyn had moved to insert a proviso to exempt smelt-
ing works from the operation of the clause.
The committee divided on this proviso, when the num-
bers were—

For the proviso 25
Against it 27
Majority against the proviso
Mr. KNIGHT then moved to add at the end of the
same clause these words, " Provided always that the
provisions hereintofore contained shall not extend or be
applicable to any placo without the limits of any city,
town, or borough." The hon. member contended that.
if there were not some such proviso introduced into the:
bill it would have the effect of driving out of the country-
soap making and other important manufactures.
Sir F. THESIGER fully concurred in the object of
the amendment, but wished to add to it the word s
" populous districts."
Mr. ROEBUCK opposed the additional words pro-
posed to be added by Sir F. Thesiger, considering thoy
had no legal definition, and would lead to much litila-
tion.
Si;: B. HALL said be had no objection to the words
" populous districts" being added, and in that case he
should not oppose the insertion of the proviso of the hon.
member for North Worcestershire (Mr. Knight).
After some further conversation the committee divided,
when the numbers were—
For the insertion of the words "pope- •
lous districts "
Against '
Majority —46
The words were therefore ordered to be added to the
Clause.

On the question that clause 28, as amended, stand.
part of the bill,
Mr. KENDALL moved, as an amendment, that the
clause be omitted. He represented a most extensive
district, and he felt convinced that if the clause was
passed it would affect the wages of every Cornish miner.
He thought the less evil of the two would be to with-
draw the clause altogether.
Mr. CHILDS seconded the amendment for the omis-
sion of the clause.
Mr. ADDERLEY opposed the amendment. 'le
thought hon. members on considering this impor tat
question ought to look at it in a general and in a.. pri-
vate point of view.
Mr. BARROW supported the amendment, believi:tg
that the only object of the clause would be to hars.ss
parties, and that through the medium of the officers of
the Government with a heavy purse. As to the rich,
there wag no necessity for him to advocate their caw a,
as doubtless they would neverbe visited by the Gov&-ri-
ment officials, but the poor and ready manufacturer
would be eternally annoyed by then). If they paes,d
this clause, they would raise an amount of fire-damp
that would explode ultimately upon themselves.
'Jr. L. nEYWORTH also supported the aruet.d-

inept.
Mr. HENLEY supported the clause, which he Icoll.yi

Mr. LLOYD DAVIS supported the clause, helievi

air B. HALL observed that the clause had been rn

operation for some time, and he had never heard any
complaint against it.
Mr. PELLATT considered the time too short, and
stated, in support of that assertion, that he had received
communications from several manufacturers to that
effect. _ . .

After some further discussion, 14 days were inserted
in the clause instead of 7, and the clause as amended
was ordered to stand part of the bill.
Clauses 43 and 44 were agreed to.
._ .

On clause 45 being put, which gave power to con-
stables to aid in the removal of nuisances.

- -
Mr. HENLEY considered it as unnecessary, and
trusted that it would be struck out.

Sir B. HALL said that in Dublin, during one year,
the police were the cause of removing no less than
28,562 nuisances, and if they were equally energetic in
this country he thought the clause would be a very use-
ful one.

After some further discussion the clause was agreed
to be struck out by consent.
Clauses 46 and 47 were agreed to without opposition .
On clause 48, subjecting certain offensive trades to the
operation of the bill, and giving the Secretary of State
the power of interposing, in case the local authorities
did not interfere with that spirit and vigour which were
necessary, _

A. brief' discussion took place, in wbich Mr. WIL-
LIAMS complained that the metropolis alone was in-
tended to be subjected to this interference of the Secre-
tary of State, and not the country at large.
Mr. A. Pellatt, Mr. Adderley, ,Zr. Wilkinson, and
the Attorney-General having also spoken,
Lord R. GROSVENOR suggested that some modifi-
cation of the clauses should take place, or that the right
hon. baronet should give it some further consideration.
Sir B. HALL (after consulting with Sir G. Grey)
said that he had agreed with his right hon.
friend to withdraw the clause for the present,
and in the meanwhile to submit it to some further consi-
deration, with a view to adopting such other proposals
as might be deemed advisable when it was reported.
The clause was accordingly agreed to be struck out.
The remaining clauses of the bill were afterwards
agreed to, and,

-Some further clauses relating to procAedings to be
taken in the event of any impending epidemic diseases,
with a view to their prevention or mitigation in case
of their occurrence, were added to the bill, as were also
some others of a different nature.

The house then resumed, and the Chairman reported
progress.

METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT.

The house then went into committee on this bill, and
the house having immediately resumed, the Chairman
reported progress.

NEW MEMBER.

Mr. HOLLAND took the oaths and his seat for Eye-
sham.

The house then adjourned until 6 o'clock.

The house resumed at 6 o'clock.

Sir F. THESIGER presented a petition from the
heads of the Jewish congregation in London, against
some clauses of the Dissenters' Marriages Act.
STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA.
Sir J. PAEINGTON put the following questions to
Lord John Russell :—" Whether he has received a copy
of a circular despatch from Governor-General Sir Win.
Denison to governors of other Australian colonies, sub-
mitting heads of plan for establishment of monthly line
of steam-packets to England, estimating the amount to
be paid to a company or companies for that accommoda-
tion at 100,0001. per annum, and proposing that three-
fifths of the required amount should be borne by the
Home Government and two-fifths by the Colonies.
Whether he has received a copy of an address pre-
sented by the Legislative Council of Victoria to the
governor of that colony, expressing surprise and re-
gret that the Home Government had suffered
frequent and quick communication with England
by steam to cease, and expressing their readiness
to bear their fair share of the cost of renewing it, to an
amount not exceeding 50,0001. per annum. Whether
her Majesty's Government have given their attention to
this subject, and how far they can hold out a prospect
of the early re-establishment of s.;earn communication
with Australia ?"

Lord J. RUSSELL stated that deQpatches had been
received on the subject from 'Sir W. Denison, to the
effect referred to by the right hon. baronet, as also from
Victoria. The subject was under the consideration of
the Government, and he was in communication with
some parties on the subject, and hoped that a subject of
so much importauca,vculd arrive at a satisfactory issue.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES Bal.

In reply to a question by Sir F. THESIGEA,

Sir 6.-GREY said that it was the intention of the
Government to ask the house to assent to the 4ecund
reading of the Roman Catholic Charities Bill, but ho in-
tended to move a continuance clause, ler one year, in
the Cbaritable Trusts Act, affecting Roman Catholic
charities.

MEDICAL TRRATMENT IN THE CRIMEA.
• Mr. M. MILNES wished to know whether the Go-
vernment would institute an inquiry into the circutii-
stances connected with the death of Mr. Stowe—a
gentleman who was sent out to the Crimea to adminis-
ter the Times Fund. That gentleman, it was stated,
hlthough in a dangerous state of illness, was refused ad•
mission into the hospital at Balaklava, and, in conse-
quence of such refusal, his death was caused or ac-
celerated.

Mr. F. PEEL said that he had no knowledge of the
transaction except what he had seen in the public papers,
but he had no objection whatever to make inquiries
into the matter.
Mr. TAFFORD inquired whether the Under-Sec-
retary Tor War had received any further communica-
tions in reference to the medical treatment of our
wounded soldiers on the 18th of June last, in tbo
Crimea ?

Mr. PEEL stated that on a former evening he had
proposed to read to the house a letter he bad received on
on the subject, but was prevented by an bon, member.
lie thought it better not to read that letter to the house
until the Government was in possession of more ample
and complete information on the subject. The steps
which had been taken on the subject of inquiry were,
that a committee ormedical officers was directed to be
formed from the division not engaged in the attack on
the 18th of June. This committee would examine all
the medical officers of the division, and the evidence
received would be sent home with the report of the com-
mittee, and as soon as it was received it should be com-
municated to the house.

THE NEW TURKISH LOAN.
Mr.- COBDEN stated that last week a message was
sent by the French Government to the Legislative
Assembly of France giving full details of the convention
entered into between England, Fiance, and Turkey for
the guarantee of a loan of 5,000,0001. to Turkey. He
wished to know whether the noble lord at the head of
the Government was prepared to furnish the house with
the same information ; and if so, whether it could be
afforded in sufficient time to admit of full discussion ? On
a previous occasion the noble lord had said that the con-
vention was not concluded.

Lord PALMERSTON explained that what he had
said on a former occasion was, that the treaty was con-
cluded, but that the ratifications were not exchanged.
It was not usual or right to lay treaties before the house
until the ratifications, were excliangedvas they were not
binding until that formality had been gone through.
Mr. COBDEN wished to know when the ratifications
would be exchanged ?
Lord PALMERSTON said that measures had been
taken for exchanging the ratifications at the earliest pos-
sible opportunity. The ratifications of England and
France had been sent in to Turkey in order that they
might be exchanged without loss of time at Constan-
tinople.
Mr. COBDFAN said that the Emperor in his message
had said that the convention was signed; "un conven-
tion est conclu" were the words.

Lord PALMERSTON—That meant, that the treaty
was signed by the plenipotentiaries of the powers.
Mr. RICARDO wished to know whether the conven-
tion gave the joint guarantee of the two Governments
for the whole loan, or did each Government guarantee
one-half of the loan ? •

Lord PALMERSTON—It i; a joint guarantee for
the whole loan.
