BILL.

Sir F. KELLY before moving the second reading of
this bill said he thought it would be for the convenience
of the house if the bill was read a second time that day pro
forma, and the discussion taken upon the motion for going
into committee.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he could not con-
sent to such a course, as the Government were opposed to
the principle of the bill.
The second reading was then postponed until the 6th of
July.

Several new clauses having been added to the bill,
Sir J. FERGUSSON moved an amendment to the pre-

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION.

Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, a meeting of the Commissioners
of Sewers of the City of London was held at Guildhall,
under the presidency of Henry de Jersey, Esq., Deputy.
THE GAS SUPPLY TO TuE CITY.
Mr R. J. CHAPLIN brought under the notice of the Com-
mission the question relating to the gas Supply in the City,
and said he thought the time hararrivied when some deci-
sive action should be take a by them to ensure for the public
a more satisfactory light to the public lamps than was at
present furnished. During the last 6 months numerous
complaints had been made by the ratepayers of the unsatis-
factory mode in which the contracts fur lighting the City
were being carried out; and he thought the best way to deal
with the subject was to appoint a special committee to in-
vestigate
eahl I
the
ee
subject.circumstances,
H e and
concludedbring
by up
moving a report,
o to the
the citizens of London have for a long time been suffering
from an insufficient supply of gas, and that supply being
under the superintendence and charge of the Commissioners
of Sewers, a sub-committee be appointed for the purpose of
ascertaining the cause of such insufficiency, with power to
make such investigation, and to
its takeimprovement,
steps as may ap-
pear desirable, with a view to both in
quantity and quality, and to ensure to the consumer a more
pure and brilliant light."
Deputy FARRAR seconded the motion.

Deputy CHAIRMAN suggested that as the question of the
supply of gas had been frequently referred to the General
Purposes Committee, the better way would be to ask that
committee to report to the next Court upon all the several
outstanding references bearing upon the question.
withwt the
hs chairman,suggestion.
and moved an
amendment in inifiaTcE agreeddcoargdraanece h
Deputy PERKINs seconded the amendment.
Mr SAMUEL GREEN thought that too much latitude had
been given to the gas companies by the Commission, and he
said as they had power under the act to compel them to
supply a pure gas, it was their duty to enforce that power to
the utmost. The supply at the present moment was, he
maintained, most unsatisfactory, and it was the duty of the
committee acting on behalf of the public to alter the exist-
ing state of things with the least possible delay.
Mr. J. E. SAUNDERS (one of the representatives of the
City at the Metropolitan Board of Works) said he considered
the subject under discussion to be of a most important cha-
racter; and ho regretted to say, in reference to it, that the
Commission had not moved ahead as they had in severe!
other matters. The lighting of the first metropolis in the
world was a matter of no small significance, and it behoved
them to carry out the act of Parliament which regulated the
supply of gas in such a manner as to be able to retain for
themselves the confidence of their fcllaw citizens. (Hear.)
After some further discussion the amendment was nega-
tived, and the original motion of Mr. Chaplin was then
agreed to.

HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the I:s7i:ter-Generate Report.)
The deaths in London were 1,213 in the week
that ended on the 4th inst.; they rose
Io 1,285 in
the week that ended last Saturday. n the last
four weeks the mean temperature of the air was
successively 61 deg. 8 min., 52 deg., 50 deg, 4 min.,
and 69 deg. 6 min., showing great fluctuation.
The increase of deaths last week was entirely
amongst persons of middle age (20-60 years),
the
numbers in that period having been in two weeks
328 and 388.

The average number of deaths in the twenty
third week of ten years 1851-63 is, with a correction
for increase of population, 1,155. The excess in the
present return above the estimated number is, there-
fore, very considerable, and amounts to 130 deaths.
At the present time the most fatal complaint in
the epidemic class is measles, to which 82 deaths
are referred. Typhus was fatal in 51 cases, whoop-
ing-cough in 50, scarlatina in 47, diarrhea in 19,
diphtheria in 11, smallpox in 5.
Nearly half of the deaths from measles occurred
to children one year old and less than two years.
Five deaths from this disease were recorded in the
subdistrict of Gray's-inn-lane, 6 in Islington, 5 in
South Hackney, 9 in the district of Shoreditch, 7
in Bethnal-green, 9 in St. George's-in-the-East (6
of which were in the sub-district of St. Mary), and
Bin St. Luke's. Measles prevails chiefly in the
East districts.
Typhus was returned in five cases in the sub•dis-
trict of Mile end New Town.

Last week the births of 985 boys and
in all 1,923 children, were registered in

COUNTY VOTERS' REGULATION BILL.

Mr Dodson moved the second reading of this bill, the
object of which was to improve the law with respect to the
preparing and exhibiting the lists of voters, and also to
make certain stringent regulations with respect to new
voters, and also to enforce on the overseers the duty of at-
tending more closely than usually is the case to the correct-
ness of the description and address of the voter ; and the
bill also proposes that the polling number shall be affixed
after each voter's name and other details which would, if
the bill passed, facilitate the mode of taking the votes at
oontested elections.

Mr RUNT said, in agreeing to the second reading of tho
bill, he did so on the understanding that he should be at
liberty to move certain amendments in committee if he
thought fit to do so.
After a short discussion the bill was read a second time.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1864.

These once more rumoured Federal Successes,
we take it, are rather doubtful, for two or three
pretty obvious reasons, In the first place—look at
the political barometer! There—watching that
exquisitely sensitive thread-like column, not of
quicksilver, but of slow goid—one sees it still
in yonder storm-agitated,
steadily, fearfully rising
ominously darkening, atmosphere of New .York.
According to these lest advicesup to the 4th instant,
these edvices brought to us simultaneously by the
Peruvian and the City of Baltimore—it (gold) had
still further risen : it was then, on the 4 h, up to 92
per cent .premiurc! A gain,wh ile Ger?eral GRANT was
announcing tl•at the lcoees sustained by' the Federal
army in the contest at Cold Harbour vv_rro "not
s'tvere," other cfficial despatches state them pcsi.
Lively to rave anacuntrd to no less than 3,000 men
killed and wounded, including among
the 3,000
Federals newsy put hors de combat one Genera;
and five Colonels. " Not severe ?" Weil, com-
paraively with the late wholesale al ughter
of the unfortunate Northerners, perhaps not!
Certainly, 3,000 killed and wounded es the
result of one day's fighting, seems the merest

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

TILE HYDE PARE REVIEW AND A RECEIVER OP
STOLEN WATCHES.—James Hattersley, a tall well-dressud
man, described as a jeweller, charged before Mr Knox
with stealing a watch of the value of £2O, the property of
Dr Sinclair, of No. 2, Vicarage-gardens, Campden-hill,
Kensington, while at the Volunteer Review in Hyde-park,
was again brought before Mr. Knox.

The case was before the court on a former occasion.
There was no proof that the prisoner took the watch, but
Sergeant Gordon, 9 C, who took the prisoner into custody,
found in his possession several gold and silver watches,
which the prisoner alleged he had bought of a man named
Martin. One of them was identified as having been stolen
from a person at Epsom races, and another, which the pri-
soner had pledged with Mr Alton, of 250, Holloway-road,
pawnbroker, Dr Sinclair identified as his property,
Mr Edward Dillon Lewis, from the office of Mr Edward
Lewis, appeared for the prisoner.
On the prisoner being placed at the bar,
Dr Sinclair, in answer to Mr Lewis, said he was not pre-
pared to say the prisoner was the man who took his watch,
and Mr Alton said he had always known the prisoner as a
respectable man, and had never heard anything against his
character,

Mr Knox—Then you would be surprised to hear that
the prisoner has been going about obtaining goods by the
false pretence that they were for his uncle.

Mr Alton said ho should.
Mr Knox—Then I can tell you that I have just signed
a warrant.

Mr Knox ordered the person who had made the complaint
against the prisoner to be called, and informed him that as
he intended to send the prisoner for trial, the person could
prefer his complaint at the sessions.

Mr Knox asked the prisoner whether he wished to way
anything.

Mr Lewis felt it was useless to struggle against the evi.
dente, but objected that the person had been called to con.
tradict what was stolen by a witness for the prosecution.
Mr Knox said Nlr Lewis was correct in his objection;
and committed the prisoner for trial.
Mr Lewis stated that he should reserve his defence.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOIISE OF LORDS—Last Evening,

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his Beat on the woolsack at

5 o'clock.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE pointed out an error
in the report in one of the morning papers of the remarks
made by the Earl of Granville, in which he was represent,ed
to have said that Lord Elgin had diverted to India trc,ops
which had been sent to China. The fact was that he acted
upon the instigation of Lord Canning, who had shared with
him the responsibility.

Earl GRANVILLE said, considering that their lord
ships were tempted to speak in a conversational tone across
the table, and the frequency with which conversation was
carried on under the reporters' gallery, he was not surprised
that his remarks were misunderstood. The noble lord had
correctly represented what he had actually raid. Lord Elgin
was on his way to China at the time when the news of the
Indian mutiny met him with the request that the troops in-
tended for China should be sent to India. Lord Elgin took
upon himself the responsibility of complying with the
request.

After a few words from Lord LYVEDEN and Lord STRAT-
FORD DE REDCLIFFE, the subject dropped.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Shiel's Charities—Earl of Egmont's Estate—Kent Coast
Railway--Crystal Palace and South London Junction Rail
way—Great Eastern Railway (Highbeach Branch)—Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Steamboats)-oswes-
try, Ellesmere, and Whitchurch Railway—South Eastern
Railway (No. I)—South Eastern Railway (No. 2)—Nor-
folk Railway—London, Brighton, and SouthCoastißailwap
(Ouse Valley Line)—and Royston and Hitchin Railway.
THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE—SIR ROWLAND HILL,
"Her Majesty's message having been read by the clerk at
the table,
Earl GRANVILLE said he had now to make a similar
proposal to that he made last evening on behalf of one who
entered young upon the services of his country. Sir Row-
land Hill had not become a public servant at so early a
period of his life, but the great benefit that had been
conferred upon the public at large by the adoption
of the penny postage would no doubt induce their lordships
to concur with her Majesty in conferring upon the principal
author of that scheme a mark of public approval. There
was, it was true, some question as to the actual author of
the penny postage scheme, but Sir Rowland Hill was one
of the very foremost of its advocates, and owing to his
energy and talent it had been adopted by the
Government of that day, and bad ever since been
productive of the greatest national benefit. The number of
letters passing through the Post-office compared with that
before the scheme was adopted had increased tenfold, and I
the money-order office, while it had been productive of the
greatest advantages to the commercial country at large,
had been a considerable gain to the country. He had no
doubt their lordships would unanimously respond to the
recommendation of her Majesty.
After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM and the, Mar.
quis of CLANRICARDE, the motion was agreed to.

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION.

Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, a meeting of the Commissioners
of Sewers of the City of London was held at Guildhall,
under the presidency of Henry de Jersey, Esq., Deputy.
THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY.

Mr R. J. CHAPLIN brought under the notice of the Com-
mission the question relating to the gas supply in the City,
and said he thought the time had arrived when some deci-
sive thorn to ensure for the public
a more
public lamps than was at
present action shouldsatisfactory b
light to
sent furnished. During the last 6 months numerous
r lei taken
bt
the e
complaints had been made by the ratepayers of the unsatis-
factory mode in which the contracts fur lighting the City
were
wasout;
to
aapiapdohme
ta thought the best way to deal
with
the being
subject carried
special committee to in-
vestigate all the circumstances, and bring up a report to the
Court upon the subject. Ho concluded by moving, " That
the citizens of London have for a long time been suffering
from an insufficient supply of gas, and that supply being
under the superintendence and charge of the Commissioners
of Sewers, a subcommittee be appointed for the purpose of
i
ascertaining the cause of such nsufficiency, with power to
make such investigation, and to take such steps as may ap-
pear desirable, with a view to its improvement, both in
quantity and quality, and to ensure to the consumer a more
pure and brilliant light."
Deputy FARRAR seconded the motion.
Deputy CHAIRMAN suggested that as the question of the
supply of gas had been frequently referred to the General
Purposes Committee, the better way would be to ask that
committee to report to the neat Court upon all the several
outstanding references bearing upon the question.
Deputy WHITE agreed with the chairman, and moved an
amendment in accordance with his suggestion.
Deputy PERKINS seconded the amendment.
Mr SAMUEL GREEN thought that too much latitude had
been given to the gas companies by the Commission, and he
said as they had power uncler the act to compel them to
supply a pure gas, it was their duty to enforce that power to
the utmost. The supply at the present moment was, he
maintained, most unsatisfactory, and it was the duty of the
committee acting on behalf of the public to alter the exist-
ing state of things with the least possible delay.
Mr. J. E. SAUNDERS (one of the representatives of the
City at the Metropolitan Board of Works) said he considered
the subject under discussion to be of a most important cha-
racter; and he regretted to say, in reference to it, that the
Commission had not moved ahead as they had in several
other matters. The lighting of the first metropolis in the
world was a matter of no small significance, and it behoved
them to carry out the act of Parliament which regulated the
supply of gas in such a manner as to be able to retain for
themselves the confidence of their fellaw citizens. (Hear.)
After some further discussion the amendment was nega-
tived, and the original motion of Mr. Chaplin was then
agreed to.

An extraordinary general meeting of this company, ad-
journed from 31st May, took place yesterday at the King's
Cross station, for the purpose of considering certain bills now
pending in Parliament ; Colonel Packe, M.P., in the chair.
Resolutions were proposed approving the following bills
the heads of which were read by the solicitor, and briefly
explained by the chairman :—To enable the Great Northern
Railway Company to extend their railway from Lincoln to
the Boston, Sleaford, and Midland Counties Railway, and
from Sleaford to the Bourne and Essendine Railway at
Bourne, and to authorise the amalgamation of the said two
undertakings with the Great Northern Railway. To enable
the Great Northern Railway Company to complete their
loop line between Doncaster and Gainsborough ; and to
improve the gradients of their railway south of Gains-
borough. To authorise the construction of a railway in the
borough of Liverpool to be called the Liverpool Central
Station Railway, subject to such alterations as may be
deemed necessary by the directors of the company. To
authorise the construction of a railway from Alford to
Mablethorpe, in the county of Lincoln, and for other pur-
poses, subject to such alterations as may be deemed neces-
sary by the directors of the company. For affording in.
creased facilities for the transmission of traffic between the
railways of the London and North Western Railway Com-
pany and several railways in Ireland, subject to such altera-
tions as the directors may deem advisable. These resolu-
tions having been adopted without d;scussion, the meeting
separated with the usual vote of thanks.
