;5 Y BEER BILL C 031,11. i
(THIS DAY.)

The Parliamentary Committee on this bill reassembled
this morning shortly after one o'clock—Mr. H. Berke-
ley in the chair. There were also present Sir W. Jol-
liffe, the Hon. C. P. Villiers, Major Daring, Messrs.
Brande, O'Brien, Gregeon, Cheetham, Cobbett, Schole-
field, and Massey. The absent members were Sir W.
Clay, Sir J. Pakington, Mr. Ker Sumer, and Lord H.
Vane.

The room was immediately cleared, and the Commit-
tee proceeded to the consideration of their report.
It was understood that'a draft report was in print,
and would be submittal to the consideration of the com-
mittee, recommending the opening of public-houses on
Sundays from one until thrce o'clock in the afternoon,
and from five until 11 at night.
A second report, in manuscript, it was believed,
would also be introduced in favour, it was said, of the
opening of houses from one o'clock in the day until 11
at night, without intermission.
It seemed to be the general impression that the former
one would, in all likelihood, be adopted ; but the final
decision of the committee cannot, of course, be satisfac-
torily known until the report is presented to the house.
The committee still remained in deliberation when our
report was despatched.

those great geniuseS who live in a region of -their own, far
above anything so comuon-place as facts, coolly cleelared that
not one single person had ever felt the slightest inconvenience
from the operation of the Beer Bill of last session. We wilt
not here, though we might with great propriety, employ a
w.ll-known phrase of Falstaff, when his indignation was
raised to the highest pitch at finding that so many persons
were in the habit of saying that which was in direct anta-
gonism to the truth. No one, not even one, inconvenienced
by the act of last sessioe ! What, then, means the flood ol
petitions, with their myriads o' signatures, which has been
. oared into Parliament, calling for a modification of the
measure ? And what means all that excitement in the public
mind on the subject, which lately perinea the public peace ?
Bat Mr. George Cruikshank does not think lie has done
enough when he thus boldly declares that the act of Lest ses-
sion has not caused the slightest inconvenience to any one of
her Majesty's millions of subjects. He says something more
than even that—something which at once establishes his clam
to the character of being an original of the first magnitude,
namely, that even the enactment of the Maine L Law
itself -would not cause the slightest inconvenience to an 3
human being within the confines of these kingdoms._ Dr
Johnson liked a good hater ; we have a profound respect for
the man who can make the boldest assertions without the
s!ightest embarrassment. Mr. George Cruikshank is, there-
fore, entitled to our homage; and we yield it to him accordingly.
A few such witnesses as this caricaturist, and the licensed
victuallers would have everything their own way.
To the evidenee of Mr. Wakley, coroner fir Middlesex, we
shall devote a separate article. It was, in some respects, the
most important which has yet been elven. Mr. Wakley gene
rously and triumphantly vindicated the character of the
licensed vietnallers, and thus, without alluding specifically to
the slanders of Sir Robert Carden, scattered the City Knight's
calumnies to the winds. The licensed victuallers of Loudon
owe Mr, Wakley a lrge debt of gratitude, and he may rest
assured that they will never cease to feel the deep obligations
under which he has laid them.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 9th, in the
Hamburg News, says :—" The destruction of the
telegraphs and the light houses on the coast of
Finland, including those of Tolbuchin and Kras-
najagorka, the two nearest to the capital, has had
for its first result that we scarcely hear anything
of the movements of the fleet between Cronstadt
and Revel. The general uneasiness and agitation
are thus increased, for although it is loudly de-
clared that Cronstadt is impregnable, and that no
fear is felt as regards it, yet the proximity of so large
a hostile fleet cannot fail to inspire considerable
anxiety."
A letter from Vienna, in the Hamburg News,
says : —" Letters from Warsaw contradict a report
of the departure of a further part of the Guard for
the Crimea, but it is, nevertheless, true that move-
ments of troops are constantly going on, and that
the army of General Gortsohakoff rocei vesreinforce-
meats constantly. At the commencement of the
present month, two regiments of grenadiers, two
Uhlans, and several of chasseurs, left Poland for
the Crimea."

" The anniversary of the birthday of the Empress
Dowager of Russia," says a letter from Warsaw,
" was kept here with the usual ceremonies. The
cholera is still raging here. On the 13th there
were 39 new cases and 11 deaths."

Prince Paskiewitch is seriously ill, and appears
to be breaking up.
Prince Worouzow left Berlin on the 16th for St.
Petersburg.

those great geniuses who live in a region of their own, far
above anything so common-place as facts, coolly declared that
not one single person had ever felt the slightest inconvenience
from the operation of the Beer Bill of last session. We will
not here, though we might with great propriety, employ a
well-known phrase of Falstaff, when his indignation was
raised to the highest pitch at finding that so many persons
were in the habit of saying that which was in direct anta-
gonism to the truth. No one, not even one, inconvenienced
by the act of last session ! What, then, means the flood of
petitions, with their myriads of signatures, which has been
mired into Parliament, calling for a modification of the
measure ? And what means all that excitement in the public
mind on the subject, which lately perilled the public peace ?
But Mr. George Cruikshank does not think he has done
enough when he thus boldly declares that the act of last ses-
sion has not caused the slightest inconvenience to any one of
her Majesty's millions of subjects. He says something more
than even that—something which at once establishes his claim
to the character of being an original of the first magnitude,
namely, that even the enactment of the Maine Liquor Law
itself would not cause the slightest inconvenience to any
human being within the confines of these kingdoms. Dr.
Johnson liked a good hater ; •we have a profound respect for
the man who can make the boldest assertions without the
slightest embarrassment. Mr. George Cruikshank is, there-
fore, entitled to our homage ; and we yield it to him accordingly.
A few such witnesses as this caricaturist, and the licensed
victuallers would have everything their own way.
To the evidence of Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex, we
shall devote a separate article. It was, in some respects, the
most important which has yet been given. Mr. Wakley gene-
rously and triumphantly vindicated the character of the
licensed victuallers, and thus, without alludirr, specifically to
the slanders of Sir Robert Carden, scattered the City Knight's
calumnies to the winds. The licensed victuallers of London
owe Mr. Wakley a large debt of gratitude, and he may' rest
assured that they will never cease to feel the deep obligations
under which he has laid them.

SCOTCH SCHOOLMASTERS-THE LATE DIVI

SION IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS,
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH wished to know whether
her Majesty's Government intended to bring inn con-
tinuance bill for the purpose of continuing for another
year the present salaries of parish schoolmasters in Scot-
land. Without such a bill those salaries must tall to a
very low point indeed.
The Duke of ARGYLL said the Government did not
think it worth while to go on year after year passing
continuance bills. The questioa must soon be brought
to some final settlernent. The existing salaries would
continue tilt Martinhias, and before the following term
there would be a meeting of Parliament, when the mat-
ter could be dealt with. With reference to the recent
division in their lordships' house on the Scotch Educa-

tion Bill, it would be a matter of great regret if an idea
got abroad that the matter had been treated by their
lordships with any levity or want of consideration. It
must be distinctly understood that no division was taken

--
upon the bill. Government proposed that the bill should
be withdrawn, that proposal was opposed, and the divi-
sion was taken upon the question that the word "now"
'stand part of the bill.
The Earl of DERBY remarked that the refusal to intro-
duce another continuance bill looked as if it was in-
tended to make use of the destitution of the Scotch
schoolmasters-as a.-screw—to force upon Parliament the
adoption of the peculiar measures which the Govern-
ment advocated. It was quite clear that the late divi-
sion did not accurately represent the views of their lord-
ships' house with regard to the merits oi the bill. The
truth was that the Government being aware that only a
very small minority would be in favour of the bill were
anxious that the numerical strength of the parties should
not be known. They, therefore, wished to withdraw the
measure, but when forced into a division by the Oppo-
sition, who wished to show the people 'of Scotland by
how large a majority in the House of Lords was pre-
pared to reject any measure as that proposed by the Go-
vernment, they took the somewhat unusual course of
voting against the measure, instead of merely refraining
from voting. The majority against the bill was greater,
therefore, in appearance than it was in reality.
Earl GRAN-VILLE said there was no doubt that the
Government were aware there was a majority against
the bill, but it was hardly fair to state that as the sole
reason by which they were influenced in the course they
took. They were also influenced by the strong appeal
made by the noble and learned lord (Lord Brougham)
and other friends of education for the withdrawal of the
bill for the present.
After some remarks by the Earl of HADDINGTON
and Lord POLWARTH, the matter dropped, and their
lordships adjourned at eight o'clock.
London, England, 1855-07-21

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Viscount EBRINGTON presented a petition from Clap-
ham against the qualification clause, and said he protested
against being considered an opponent to local self-govern-
ment, or that he wished to throw obstacles in the way of
the bill. The fact that the provisions of the measure were
agreed to when generally there were not more than thirty
or forty members present was the best proof that there was
no decided hostility to the bill, which had been very much
improved during its progress through the house. Having
made these observations, he was willing that the bill be
read a third time.

Sir H. ViTILL6UGHBY doubted whether the right hon.
gentleman had chosen the best machinery for carrying out
his measure. He feared that the boards would be found too
numerous, and that the owners of property, as distinguished
from the ratepayers, were not sufficiently considered. He
also thought that what was good for the metropolis would be
good for all the towns and districts in the United Kingdom.
(Hear, hear.) (Sir H. Willoughby) begged to call the at-
tention of the right hon. gentleman to the fact that the
Metropolitan Board, to whom there was to be an appeal in
cases where compensation was sought for by persons who
now held offices, had the power to refuse all compensation
whatever.

Lord SEYMOUR said it was agreed in the committee
that a clause should be introduced limiting the time after
which no sewerage would be allowed to go into the river
Thames

Sir B. HALL said thBt what he understood with refe-
rence to this was—that there should be an appeal to the
Metropolitan Board of Works, but before the appeal was
brought the board should be consulted, and then the ap-
pellant might go before the board to have his case heard.
What he (Sir B. Hall) objected to was that any reference
should be made to the Treasury, because he thought this
was a case in which the Government should not interfere
in the slightest degree. In answer to the question of the
noble lord, he begged to state that a time had been fixed

POLITICAL ON DITS.

The appointment of Sir William Molesworth as
successor to Lord John Russell in the Colonial-
office appears, judging from the general tenour of
the conversation at the Clubs this morning, to have
given unqualified satisfaction.

Sir Benjamin Hall is confidently looked upon to
replace the right hon. baronet at the Board of
Works.

The post thus vacated at the Board of Works, it
is thought, will most probably, be filled up by the
appointment of Sir J. V. Shelley. On the other
hand the last-named gentleman has been named as
likely to occupy the chairmanship of the New Me-
tropolitan Central Board.

No opposition will, it is understood, be offered
to the return of Sir W. Molesworth or either of
the other gentlemen, in the event of these changes
taking place.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its 'Rationd
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F. B. COURTEICAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equall, d, if, indeed, it has not
surpasse4, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of sur..rise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most Oexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to 'assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must he no slight source of
wratiflcation on Mr. *otirtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res ,ect ; and ibr our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circn'ar.

the Frerch Legislature already obtained must be null and
void. He fully admitt,d the ight of the house to reject
the vote—he admitted that her Majesty's consent was only
conditional on this house giving its assent, but that would
be the position in which the house would place her Ma-
jesty. Ho denied that the plans recommended by his op-
ponents possessed any advantages over that proposed by
the Government, and reminded the house that Ministers
were in fact precluded from taking any other course than
thq- did, as they had pledged themselves to contract no
further loan for England till the last instalment of the last
was paid..

M. WALPOLE thought the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer had risen to withdraw this resolution, and he regret-
ted he had not done so. The arguments were unanswered,
and he believed unanswerable; and there was this remark-
able cireurestance, that not a single independent member
had given an unqualified support to the Government pro-
pos ti on. . . _

Lord PALMERSTON spoke again, and taunted the hon.
gentlemen who had made general warlike professions, and
even attacked the Government for insincerity with now
flinching from their own professions, and refusing this
comparatively small contribution for the vigorous prosecu-
tion of the war.
The committee then divided—
For the resolution

This announcement was received with cheers and counter
cheers by the committee.
The resolution being thus carried, the house resumed.
SUPPLY—THE MAYNOOTH COMMISSION.
On the motion for going into a committee of supply,
Mr. SPOONER moved that a select committee be ap-
pointed to consider the circumstances under which the re-
port and evidence of the late Maynooth Commission had
been tampered with.

the motion, and after some discussion the house divided;

THE VIENNA CONFERENCE.

In answer to a question from Mr. DISRAELI,
Lord PALMERSTON stated that he should object
to give to the house a copy of the whole instructions
that had been given to the noble lord the member for the
City of Londo❑ before he proceeded to Vienna. He had
no objection, however, to give to the house those parts
of the instructions which would have the effect of filling
up the hiatus in the papers that were now before the
house.

NUISANCES REMOVAL (IRELAND) BILL.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND, in
answer to a question from an hon. member, stated that
it was his intention to proceed with the bill in the pre-
sent session, if it was not opposed, but if there was to
be considerable opposition to the measure he should
feel himself bound to postpone proceeding with the tnea-
sure to next session.

On the question that the house at its rising should
adjourn to Monday next,
RETIRED OFFICERS.

Colonel NORTH asked the Under-Secretary fcr War
whether those officers who wished to take advantage of
the Queen's late warrant for the retirement of officers
upon full pay, and obtaining a step in iank, would be
permitted to retain the reward for distinguished service
which her Majesty had been graciously pleased to grant
to them ?
Mr. PEEL said that that would certainly be the case,
and that officers who had lore distinguished service
would be allowed to retire, and continue on full pay as
long as they lived.
After some observations from Sir DE LACY EVANS,

the subject dropped.
Mr. BRIGHT, referring to a transaction that had
recently taken place on the coast of Africa, stated that
some doubt had arisen with regard to certain slaves
taken on hoard canoes by the authority of the British
Crown, There was some question raised ab,iut compen-
sation, to the extent of about $1,000; the chief waq given
half au hour to make his appearance, but as he did not
do so the town was shelled and partly destroyed that
day, and on the following day another engagement took
place, in which 70 or 80 troops were killed or wounded,
and about 400 of the enemy, as they were called. The
question turned upon the violation of a treaty which he
believed was not yet in force, as it had not received the
sanction of Parliament. He wished to know whether
the Government had received any information upon the
subject, and whether they intended to institute a special
inquiry into the case ?
Sir C. WOOD said that no despatches had been re-
ceived at the Admiralty on the subject, and he had no
reason to place any confidence in the report.
The motion that the house on its rising should ad-
journ till Monday was then agreed to.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE HYDASPES.

We learn by electric telegraph from Portsmouth, that the
General Screw Steam Company% transport Hydaspies, No. 87;
Captain Baker, arrived at Spithead last evening from the
East, with the passengers and invalids. On the Hydaspes near-
ing Cowes about six o'clock, her Majesty and Prince Albert,
the King of the Belgians, and both Royal families, went along-
side her in the Fairy, and the Queen was pleased to inquire
minutely of Captain Baker into the state of the gallant fel-
lows, the nature of their wounds, and their general health,
on which her Majesty exhibited the deepest interest and sym-
pathy On her Majesty taking leave the officers, crew, aud
invalids' on bciard the Hydaspes manned her bulwarks, poop,
and rigging, and some of the yards and tops and vociferously
cheered the Royal personages, who graciously acknowledged
the tribute from the deck of the Fairy.
