HOUSE OF COMMONS.- -(THIS DAY.)

The screw line-of-battle ship Cressy, 80, Captain R.L.
Warren, is detained in the Downs in consequence of a
dense fog, which prevailed, without intermission, for
upwards of 24 hours. She left Sheerness on the after-
noon of the 23d inst., en route for Spithead, in charge
of Mr. Brockman, R.N., Master of the Wildfire, brought
up at the Great Nore for the night, weighed at 2 p.m.
on the 24th, anchored at 6 p.m. off the North Foreland,
proceeded at daylight on the 25th for the Downs,
where she arrived about noon, and discharged pilot;
attempted to round the South Foreland, but, owing to
the hazy state of the atmosphere, was compelled to
anchor off Deal. A vast number of merchant vessels
bound to the eastward are prevented by the fog from
passing up the Dover Channel. The Cressy will
proceed to the westward as soon as the wcather becomes
more favourable. She is ordered to SpitheNd to await
the assembling at that anchorage of the other shins
intended for the Baltic, and all of which are to be ready
for sea by the 13th of March.
The Royal George, 102, and Majestic, 80, are urnier
orders to be at Spithead by the 4th proximo.

The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSI. NESS.

The Executor and Trustee Soc. iety Bill ; the Great
Northern Railway (Church and I ichools at Doncaster)
Bill, and the Oxford. Worcester, , and Wolverhampton
(Improvements and Branches) B ill, were read a second
time.

On the motion for the second reading of the West-
minster Improvement Bill, a di "mission arose as to
whether the additional powers a asked for by this bill
should be intrusted to what might ; be called "Bankrupt
Companies."

Mr. PARKER moved that VD .e bill be read a second
time that day six months.

After a short conversation, the house divided, when
there appeared—

For the second reading
Against it
Majority
The bill was then read a second time, as was also the
Westminster Land Company's Bill 4

ARRIVAL OF SICK AND WOUNDED.

On Monday the transport Sultana arrived off Graves-
end with sick and wounded soldiers from Scutari, and,
every preparation being made for their disembarkation,
yesterday morning they were landed at the Terrace-pier
with the tenderest care, and with every precaution re-
garding their comfort and convenience. A. special train
had been in readiness, and, after partaking of a hearty
breakfast, they proceeded to Fort Pitt, Chatham. Mr.
Dobson, the Mayor of Gravesend, was on the spot, and,
as on a former similar occasion, tendered his services in
aid of the military authorities, who superintended the
disembarkation and departure for hospital of these poor
fellows, many of whom were severely wounded, anti all
more or less sickly and feeble in body, lout not broken in
spirit. Previous to the men leaving the ship a grateful
acknowledgment of the sense they entertained of the
treatment they had received during the •oyage from the
officer in command and the surgeon who had medical
charge of them was signed by them, 158 in number, and
presented to those officers.
Among the wounded was an intelligent Pole (a pri-
vate), who had deserted from the Russians and joined
and fought with the 47th Regiment.

PETITIONS,.
Mr. MUNTZ presented a petition from Birmingham
against the Public Health Bill.

Mr. BROTHERTON presented a similar petition
from the National Gas Company.

Mr. A. STAFFORD presented a petition from Emma
Allan, who claimed the consideration of the house in
consequence of the death of her husband in the Black
Sea, his vessel being lost, Captain Christey having re-
fused to admit it into the port of Balaklava.
Mr. COWAN presented a petition from Glasgow,
praying that a stop might be put to the distillation from
grain during the present price of corn.
