line of communication by telegraph betvieen
every head station, as also with the nearest police-
station, is another desideratum. An arrangement
should be made with the water companies for each
district station to hold keys for the water plugs, so
that time may not be lost in hunting up the turn-
cock or the beadle. Surely these precautions are
simple enough in these days ; and that they are
imperatively needed is proved by the fact of engines
being so long before they reach a fire. The drivers
dash along fast enough when once they are started ;
but the tardiness of the preparations and the want
of communication are the causes of the delay. With
telegraph lines traversing our streets there is no
excuse ; and it is to b 3 hoped that the late disaster
will produce some reform. Had the steam fire-
engine arrived at the Savoy sooner the destruc-
tion of the property in tile Strand might have been
avoided.

DIVISIONS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, :ULY 8,

Lords summoned—Order of the day read. Then it was

moved to resolve,—
"That this House has heard with deep concern that the
sittings of the Conference recently held in London have

been brought to a close without accomplishing the im-
portant purposes for which it was convened ;
" That it is the opinion of this House that while the course
pursued by her Majesty's Government has failed to main-
tain their avowed policy of upholding the integrity and
independence of Denmark, it has lowered the just in-
fluence of this country in the councils of Europe, and

thereby diminished the securities for peace." (The Earl

of Malmesbury.)
Objected to. An Amendment moved, "To omit all the
words after the word convened,' for the purpose of in-
serting the following words--, That this House regrets
that Denmark was allowed to expect from the English
Government material aid in support of the objects of the
Treaty of May, 1852.' " (The Lord Somerhill.) On
Question, " That the words proposed to be omitted stand,
part of the Motion ;"
