London, England, 1852-04-21 00:00:00

TIIE SUN,

from the statement of the Secretary for Ireland, that
there was a disposition on the part of the Government
to do everything that was necessary for that purpose.
Hts swprtse was, not that there had been a diminution
of s%lmun, but that a single salmon was to be r ttud in
Ireland. It was impossible for salmon to grow large
when they were killed young, or to multiply before they
were married. If any legislative measure could be de-
vised to remedy the evil, the Government would con-
sider it their dory to propose it to the House.
Mr. FRE WEN thought that a remedy might be found
in the props application of the existing law.
Mr. CONOLLY replied, and intimated that he would
leave the 13111 in the hands of the Government, feeling
assured that they would take it up.

The Bill was then withdrawn.
BUILDING OF CHURCHES, &c., BILL.
Mr. FRE WEN moved the second reading of this
Bill, the main object of which was to provide for the
repairs and erection of churches in parishes where there
was a lav population, and a goud endowment for a
el,rgyinan in existence, but where no service was per-
torawd in consequence either of the church being in a
ruin )us condition and uninhabitable, or of there being no
church at all.
Tne SPEAKER intimated that there were certain
clauses in the Bill which did not come within its
title. The Bill must therefore be withdrawn.
Mr. FitEvVELNI said, of course he .must bow to the
decision ut the StAltkrr.
Mr. GLADS LONE also pointed out other clauses
which sv,,re not included in the title. He thought the
Hot,. Member, before introducing the Bill, ought to have
submittod it to a preliminary itquiry.
The Bill was then withdrawn.
PARISH CONSTABLES' BILL.

Mr. DEEDE' moved the second reading of this Bill.
Captain SCOBELL thought the provisions of the
Bill would not sufficiently encourage parish constables
to remain permanently in their office.
Sir JOHN TROLLOPE observed that the Bill would
impose a large and entirely new charge on the poor-
rates for the maintenance of parochial and superinten-
ding constables. He thought that the fund for the re-
lief of the poor ought not to be charged With
an expense of this nature, which was en-
tirely foreign to it, and which ought to
be met by a special police or parish-constable
rate. He did not make these observations with the view
of oppo,ing the second reading, but he trusted that when
the Bill went before Committee hie objection might.be
remedied.
Atter a few observations from Mr. AGLIONBY and Mr.
FACILE, the Bill was read a second time.

operating together the benefit of a cheap tribunal for
reference. He should have no objection to the Bill Eteing
reforr, d to a Sr:lrct Committee.
Mr. HENLEY said be approved of the principle of
the Bill, but he thought it would be necessary to refer
it to a Select Committee.
The B►ll was then read a second time and ordered to
be referred to a Select Committee.

HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The mortality of Lmadon again exhibics a alight in-
crease, the deaths in the prev week (ending the 101 i
of April) havtng been
.1,051, those in the week that
ended lest Saturday being 1 092. In the ten corres-
ponding weeks of 1842-51 toe average number of deaths
was 944. which, it raiscd in proportion to increase of
p pulAtion, becomes 1,038. The mortality 4-f last week
th. r,tore a steeds the cur, ected average by 54 deaths.
Ia comparing the returns of the last two weeks, it ap-
pears that there is a small increase in epidemics, in die-
ea.es of the nervous system, the heart, and the dige,tive
organs, but a dot:ream) in diseases of the organs 4.f re-
spi t a'ion, and also in the tubercuiar class. Small-pox,
which iu the previous week was fatal in 34 cases,
turners in the pre-eat return 38, which are those
of 31 children and 7 adults, 6 of whom were 20 years
of age and upwards. In 6 cases it is sta'ed that vie-
cioation had Oleo previously pqrformecf, and in these,
the patients died at the fullowirg ages:-2, 3,7, 10, 22
27 yesri. M-a,les has incress. din the two weeks fri.in
11 deaths to 18; ty phue, remi•tent fever, &(,.. from 51
1,0 56. It.fluetz. nuusba:rect iu the two weeks respectively
4 and 6 cases; croup S and 10. Last week there were
2 caused by syphilis, and 1 by nt-ma. The wife of a
lanour, r, hged 26 years. died suddenly on 31st March,
at 21, Goodwai.'s-yard, Whitechapel, from cholera. An
if (pest was held oil the body.
The class which includes diseases of the respiratory
organs mill exhibits a great excess above the ordinary
amount at this period; we number of deaths referred to
it last week being 214. whilst the average of correrpond-
ie.,: weeks. corr. cted /or increase of population, is only
165. In th• se weeks the actual nua.bfrs ranged from
107 t. 4 185, which tarter amount is much below what is
now experienced. Bronchitis predominates, and, with
the exception of phthisis, produces et present a greater
mortality than any other disease on the list. It carried
riff 102 persons; pneumonia, 77. Phthisis was tuts' to
139; its mortali y, which is always great, is not sensibly
ag,ravated by causes that have given additional force to
otner &seas, s.
