POOR-LAW BOARD CONTINUANCE BILL.
This Bill was read a third time. On the question that
the Bill do pass,
Sir DE LACY EVANS moved the insertion of the
following proviso—Provided always, that nothing in this
Act, or is any other Act, shall be deemed or taken to
aut.horise the said Commissioners to continua in any
way to enforce, or to issue, any order by them hereto-
fore made, or hereafter to be made, whereby they may
have determined, or may determine, or assume to deter-
mine, the continuance in office or dismissal of any officers
appointed, or to be appointed, under the provisions
of any local Act for the regulation, or the government,
or the appointment of the officers of any parish. The
Hon. and Gallant Officer objected to the passing of the
Bill altogether, and insisted that it was not one of those
indispensably necessary measures which ought to have
been brought in this session. He might be told that it
was only a continuance Bill, but although it was so he
objected to it because it continued the existing law for
two instead of one year. It concerned the distribution
of 'upwards of 6 000,000/. of revenue, and it was the
duty of the House not to allow so important a measure
to be disposed of in a moribund Parliament. The
great question, however, involved in this Bill was the
appointment of the officers. For more than a century
the rate-payers had the power of appointing their own
officers on Easter-day; but in many instances the Poor-
law Board had prohibited the exercise of that privilege,
and the consequence had been that several public de-
monstrations had been made against the board. Many
of the local vestries and poor-law boards bad performed
their duties so effectually that in some cases they re-
duced the taxation of the parish by nearly a half, and
for the sake of principle and economy he contended that
these local bodies ought not to be interfered with in
their useful and praiseworthy operations, The Poor-law
Board bad laid it down as a rule that the parish officers
could not be removed without the sanction of the board,
and the effect of that rule had been, and would continue
to be, to improve the efficiency of the vestries and the
guardians. This was another of these attempts at a
centralization of power which all Governments appeared
anxious to accomplish, and he prayed the House to hesi-
tate before it passed this Bill without the proviso which
he had proposed.
The clause was then brought up and read a first
time.
On the question that the clause be read a second time,
Sir J. TROLLOPE opposed it, as being peculiarly
inconvenient at this moment, and wholly uncalled for.
He maintained that the present was the proper time for
passing this renewal Bill, which contained no power or
administrative clauses at all, while if the Hon. and Gal-
lant Gentleman objected to the existing Poor-law Board
he could renew his opposition in the next Parliament,
should he be so fortunate as to obtain a seat in it.—(A
laugh.) The Hon. and Gallant Member, besides others,
had stated that the Poor-law Board cost the country
250,0001, but the fact was it did not cost more than
33,6041. The Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone,
at one of his recent electioneering meetings, accused him
of leaving represented the Marylebone and St. Pancras
vestries as composed of illiterate tradesmen; but
be begged to tell the Noble Lord and the House that
since be had been in office he had made no such imputation,
nor had his intercourse with the gentlemen who formed
these vestries produced such an impression in his mind.
(Hear, hear.) With regard to the observation of the
Hon. and Gallant Member, that parish officers ought to
be elected annually, he begged to state that he enter-
tained a very different opinion, and was equally opposed
to the proposition of the lion. and Gallant Member to
place the dismissal of those officers at the caprice of the
vestries.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord DUDLEY STUART was prepared to support
the proviso, because ho was favourable to the principle
of local self-goveremeet. He differed with the Right
Hon. Gentleman the President of the Poor-law Board,
in supposing that the vestries ought not to be entrusted
with the absolute appointment and dismissal of the
parish officers. The dictates of common sense told
them, that for the sake of securing subordination, the
vestries should have the same power of dismissing that
they had of appointing their officers, and ho for ens
thought that the withholding, or the prohibition of any
such power, on the part of the Poor-law Board, would be
contrary to law.--(Hear, hear.) He disclaimed all
intention of reflecting upon the Right Hnour-
able Gentleman personally when he addressed
his constituents the other day, but at the same
time he declined to withdraw any of the statements that
he made then. The Poor-law Board had cast unfounded
imputations upon the Marylebone and St. Pancras
vestries, and he was authorised to state that most of the
statements which the Beard had put forth against either
vestry were wholly devoid of truth. Years ago these
vestries might have mismanaged their affair, but they
must be judged by their present and not by their past
conduct. Hew, for instance, would the Government like
to be estimated according to the principles which they
professed a short time back? Why, they were only
tolerated because they had given up protection, which
stunk in the nostrils of the people, and he was sure the
Noble Lord at the head of the Administration woud
prefer being tried by the present rather than the past.

refuta-
tion, while, as to the other imputation which the Right
Hon. Baronet bad thrown out, that the vestry sus
more occupied with the wrongs of Poland and Hungary
than their own affairs, he was ready to give it a flat
contradiction. Now, with regard to this unnecessary
Bill, he believed Government had brought it forward
for private reasons, and he could nut allow it to
pass quietly into a law. No reason had been given why
the law, as it now stood, should be continued for two
years, except that it would save the interest of the Go-
vernment—all the other continuance Bills were limited to
twelve months, and he could see no just cause why this
Bill should be made an exception to the rule.

James's Theatre, with the full strength of the German
company.

Emil Devrieut took the slight part of Count

Frau Stolte was the Emilia. The performance, as
far as the acting was concerned, was exc

assiduity and intelligence of each individual actor,
and of their perfect" pulling together." Leasing's tragedy
is but a pale shadow of Virginus. Shorn of all the interest
of history, diE

true, does not claim her as a slave, but he hires brigands
to tear her away forcibly from the arms of the Count,
who is shot (very early in the tragedy), and takes her to
the country seat of the Duke. Her father, to prevent her
fall, stabs her with his dagger. Macready's personifica-
tion of the Roman patriot is still present before us, and
the noble tragedy of Alfieri (Virginia), who has adhered
so truthfully to history, casts Leasing into the sl3a4.e.
We are glad to find that Hamlet is announced for repe-

BLEAK IIOUSE. No. IV. By Charles Dickens.
Sufficient progress is already made in the develop-
ment of the plot to afford the more discerning some
notion of the probable drift of the narrative. Nemo
has expired before his discovery by Mr. Tulkinghorn,
who thereupon goes back " to allegory and medita-
tion." Although no manuscripts tending to eluci-
date the mystery of his identity are found in Nemo's
portmanteau, it is evident that such MSS. are in ex-
istence, and that Brook extracted them from their
resting place surreptitiously when the lawyer was
calling for the assistance of Miss Elite, the crazy
female lodger. Equally evident is it that the dark
young surgeon, who appears at the deathbed, is the
same as the one mentioned at the close of the present
number as likely to prove the lover of Esther Sum-
merson. Toe account of the it quest upon " our
dear brother" (with all its preliminaries), is admirably
exact, and may lead ultimately to the re-or-
ganiz ition of a system
at present very absurd
and very inefficient. The beadle, generally un-
ders'ood to be " a ridiculous insitution," exis•
perating the public " by exclusion, delay, and
last
general idiotcy," taunted •at by youthful
voices with having " boiled a boy," the " active and
intelligent" Mooney, is scarcely less delicious as a
slight sketch than Mr. Bumble's more elaborate por-
traiture. As a compinion
address to that of the
bricktnaker in the last number, take the evidence of
Mrs. riper on the " Crowner's 'Quest," when the
question is put as to whether any une else is in at-
tendance who knows anything

always "on the watch, and who promises to
aid much in the entanglement and ultimately too,
perhaps, in the eventual revelation of whatever is
mysterious in the story. An exquisite little vignette
view of Paris is given by the magic pen of Dickens,
in the course of his description of Sir Leicester's
journey from that capital to his estate in England.
Arrived there, we have a record of the people as-
sembled under the roof-trees at Chesney Wold, and
partaking
of the hospitalities of Leicestershire. Acapital and bizarre pasquinade here occurs on politics
and politicians. The interview between Lady fled-
lock and Mr. Tulkinghorri, trifling though it may
seem now, will turn out, we feel assured, to lead to
many important consequ.encFs. In the subsequent
chapter " Esther's Narrative' is resumed. The oc-
cupants of Bleak House are up in London. Ada and
Richard are betrothed. The latter is placed under
the care of one Mr. Bayham Badger, a surgeon at
Chelsea, for the purpose of studying for the profes-
sion. Mrs. Bayham Badger, formerly.
Mrs. Pro-
fecsor Dingo, formerly Mrs. Captain
Swosser, is al-
together intolerable—but still more intolerable, if
that be possible, is her husband. At the theatres, in
the pit, with his hair straight and flat, and his Blurt-
collar down, looking up at the box containing Esther
and her friends, with an expression of " general
feebleness about him," appears Mr. Guppy--pain-
fully disconsolate. Among the many happy phrases
in this instalment there is one peculiarly new and
witty, where pawnbrokers' duplicates are spoken cff. as
" turnpike tickets on the road of poverty." Nothing
could scarcely be more indifferent, in their way, than
Hablot Browne's two very careless illustrations.

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
A very delightftil pertormance took Owe at these
rooms on Thursday evening last—the first exhibition of
the students of " The British School of Vocalization,"
established last year, and conducted by Mr. G. F.
Flowers, the giver of the concert. Mr. Flowers was
assisted on this occasion by twenty-four of his pupils,
who performed a variety of excellent selections in a v, ry
admirable manner. The contralto voice of Miss Annie
de Lara, aged twelve! and the soprano voice of Miss
Clara Holmes, aged ten! astonished the audience. These
young ladies were encored in two Italian duets, and
certainly Mr. Flowers may well be proud of such
evidences of the excellency of his tuition, which has pro-
duced an unparalleled instance of vocal maturity
and flexibility in singers so young. Encores were
likewise bestowed on Miss Brooke and Miss
Isabella Staunton, Miss Whittaker, and Mr. Benham.
The concert was under the immediate patronage of her
Grace the Duchess of Sutherland, was most fully and
fashionably attended, and Mr. Flowers was called for-
ward and unanimously cheered in appreciation of the
signal success of his spirited, and we may add patriotic
undertaking, his design being to prove that English
voices are as beautiful as those of foreigners when pro-
perly developed. His ultimate intention is permanently
to establish schools for operatic singing and the exhibi-
tion on Thursday of the effects produced on the voice
by his method, after only fifteen months' instruceo],
satisfacwrily proves his nbilit tai carry out his object.

ODDS AND ENDS WORTH KNOWING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
performance of my duty to the public, I now
lay before it the following scraps of information, which
will enable many who have not the opportunity of dis-
covering for themselves to profit considerably thereby,
br at least prevent any serious blunders being made, in-
duced by specious appearances.
At Newcastle, for the North Derby, the following will
be missing from the fray :—Tomato, Helen Faucet, W itoma
colt, Shagram, My Fancy, The Major, Lizzy, Consulta-
tion, Garibaldi, Koh-i-noor, Emerystone, Young Haw-
thorn, Miss Lavinia, King of Trumps, and the King of
Troy; and I think it very possible that, notwithstanding
the favouritism with which Stilton is regarded, he wilt
be added to the list.

The Second Triennial Stekee—Oat of the fifteen no-
minations to this stake, all ero out of training but the
Miss Whip colt (who is as slow as a hack), Presto (who
is not likely to run), and Azeth.
Tho Tyro Stakes—Tee absentees for this stake are
the Ace of Trumps, Tweedside, Strait dael.K.t, Miss
Hilderton, Saguenay, and Poetess.
The Produce Stakes—Lord Felconbzrg said to be the
exclusive winner. Starters not known.

The Third Triennial Stakes—Oa the missing list will
be the Bitch, Veracity, Buriadale, Cleveland, and, I be-
lieve, Claverhouse and S:ingstress. At Newcastle only
two are expected to run, Evedne and Pelopidas.
Gateshead or Lottery Stakes—The non-starters
are Daniel O'Rourke, Brahmin, the Varmint, the
Sheltie, Veracity, Garibaldi, Stratagem, Byker, Happy
Joe, and Augur.
Gold Cup—As yet only two, Songstress and
Miserriina, form the missing lot.
At Stockbridge, for the Third Triennial all are
certain not to see the post, but Chief Baron Nicholson,
Longbow, Maidstone, Harbinger, Kingston, Joe Miller,
Filius, and Sir John; and of these Maidstone and King-
stone are very doubtful runners.
The Second Triienuial—All but the following are
out of training, or placed hors de combat by something
or other :—Payment, Harpsichord, Phlegethoa, Lamar-
tine, Runnymede, Catalpa, Antigone, Knight of the
Thistle, and Iracundus.

For the Fourth Triennial the following are reported
will be absentees :—Colt by Simoom, Glengary, Bat-
tery, Cavalier, Strait Jacket, Thistlewhipper filly, Sit-
tingbourne, Feversham, Flutter, Conspiracy colt, Miss
Woolgar, Basilique, Bright Waltham, Glenarvou, Bay
Middleton, and Touchstone fillies, Charon, and Con-
tentment.

For the Mottisfont the following are reported out of
the fray .—Splitvote filly, Grapeshot, Little Swift, Mo-
lasses, Cinamintn, Knavery, Placid, Gossip, Flutter,
Frenzy, Venus filly, Mocassin, Ireland's Eye, Maria
colt, Moonbeam colt, Pitfall, Pharold, Infidelity colt,
Ace of Trumps, Mrs. John, Gloomy, Glenalvon, Bat-
tery, Telltale; and I think Veultress and Cineas will
have to be added to this list.

The Alkali colt, Gossip, and, I believe, Hybla, will not
run for the Champagne Stakes at the Bibary Club Meet-
ing; and I am also given to understand that Hothorpe will
be the representative of Day's stable for the Bibary
Stakes.
For the Northumberland Plate we are not to see the
following at the post:—Cossack Confessor, Chatterbox,'
Castaway, Constellation, Elthiron Galvanism, Gold-
finder, Hothorpe, Haresfoot, High Sheriff, Miss Ann,
Musician, Merry Bird, Nancy, Orelio, Russborough,
Ringleader, Sledmere, Stafford, Sally, Snowdrop, Story-
teller, and Young Troublesome. Bird-on-the-Wing, it
was whispered last night, will not start; how far this
may be true I know not.—Yours. &c.,
