THE SANITARY CONFERENCE.
The Earl of ST. GERMAINS rose, according to
:•,,t, H•i :.• -!, to put a question to her Majesty's Government
:•ing the report and proceedings of the late Sanitary
rence in Paris, for a copy of which he had
i 4, ~ : 1 in the course of the last session, but
:1 had not yet appeared. There was an impres-
•.i. abroad that persons interested in the maintenance
i",l i ,!-:,. quarantine system, had prevailed upon her Ma-
:'l ,
.. 3 present Ministers to recede from the position oc-
i• ; :i,-1 by their predec..,ssors with respect ti) the question,
2
ll :,. instead of heading the onward movement, to fall
~
.; ~ -,;- upon the old restrictive regulations. He also
.i : ',. Ito ask whether any letter had been addressed, by
•Fl 0--,;i , of the Privy Council, to the Commissioners of
4-
fli • -11 s, directing that certain quarantine regulations
forced in the case of all ships coming from countrics
0-4• H ~: hich cholera prevails. He also wished to know
',tl, : : , her there was any foundation for the report which had
4,A '•:,: •, red in the public papers of to-day, with. respect to
1 West India mail-packet having arrived with several
-- , -.1.-•'s of yellow fever on board, and having been put in
,1, t fararitine. He - would wish to inquire, still farther,
-4, ::•• hat accommodation had been provided for the recep-
.l - ion of the unfortunate passengers, and whether, gene-
.'
- 14 medical attendance was provided for persons put
-0 .•1 qtlarantine.
The Earl of IVIALMESBITRY said he was sorry that
,• , au negotiations were pending, to conclude a convention
f i'LtSpecting quarantine regulations, he could not yet lay
,n the table the papers which the noble lord had asked.
?,, 'Or. Spain and Austria had as yet, refused to sign a con-
- veniion, but he believed that Russia, France, Portugal,
' ,id Sardinia were ready to co-operate with her Ma-
." -
.Jesty's government for this purpose.
The Earl of LONSDALE answered the second question
`•' ~f the noble lord. lt had come to the knowledge of her
s ''' ),lajc6ty's government that the cholera had broken out
t. xith much malignancy at Dantzic, and it was thought
!' nec=ssary to give directions that quarantine regulation
41tould be carried out with respect to ships arriving from
hat quarter. With respect to the case of the West
~ i iidia mail packet, the informotion alluded to had on
-, :tc3ied her Majesty's government that morning by tele-
Japh, and he (the noble earl) had "thought it best to des-
patch orders for the release of the passengers, and that
medical attendance at once be despatched to the sick
• ' pers,c.—.

STANLEY (of Alderley) said, he thought it
ircely to be expected that her Majesty's govern-
it could conclude a convention with respect to the
lition of the quarantine with foreign governments
11 they were enforcing quarantine regulations at
Me with more stringency than ever.
The Earl of MALMESBURY, on the part of her
ajosty's government, repudiated any idea of obtaining
total aboEttion of quarantine.
After a few words from Lord WHARNCLIFFE, who
o thought it a preposterous thing for her Majesty's
,verrinvint to expect to negotiate a modification of
arantine regulations when their officers at home had
t a viiaole shipfull or passengers in quarantine for two
:,es of yellow fever, in the month of November.
The subject dropped.
RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
Lord REDESDALE rose to ask the Vice-President
tii,' Board of Trade, whether the Government intended
bring in any measure for the better regulation of
lway s, and also to call his attention to the nature of
veral railway bills likely to he introduced this session.

lOUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS EVENING).
The SPEAKER took the chair, when several additional
:embers were sworn in,

PETITIONS.
Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition from Dundee,
~oir' the abolition of Religious TCSis.
r. WALTER presented a petition against the return
Sjr .j ohn Mactaggart for Wigton Burghs.
,Ir CRAVEN BERKELEY presented a petition from
solicitor named Williams, residing at Cheltenham,
npLiaing of the manner in which Bills are printed
ten they are passed. The hon. member moved that
petition be referred to the printing committee of the
mse of Commons, which was agreed to..
THE TURKISH LOAN.
Dr. LAYARD' seeing the the Under-Secretary
For,ign Affairs, in his place, he wished to ask him
question of some interest to the commercial world,
1 of which he had given him notice. The Sublime
had, through the Turkish Minister in Paris, re-
Lliated or refused to ratify the advances which had
m made by British capitalists to the Turkish Loan.
,v, he (lid not wish to make any remark that was cal-
Hltt,t! to encourage English capitalists to engage in
~,;,,t-jng upon foreign loans. (Order.) He wished
1. the noble lord this question, had any information
res'eived by the Government on the subject of the
-;-nerit of the loan, and if any had, would the noble
any objection to lay it on the table. (Hear,

STANLEY said the government had received
'ormation on the subject, and they had watched
le progress of the affair with much interest and
(Hear, hear.) He.thought, however, that
_;e would agree with him, that it was not expe-
-1 present to lay the papers before the house, as
ated to a transaction which could not be said to
t, terminated. (Hear, hear.) But he could state
- words a general outline of the case. It was
Aen that the TUrkish Minister who was charged
T;lv% negotiation of the loan in question, deviated
tr-the-itrstruetions of his own Government; and, in
t,ic-;nence of that deviation, the act of the Minister
i-I.__....v_ewed_by the Porte, and the loan was refused
!"' At the same time, however, the Porte
•lee's,ed that the deposits would be returned with in-
and from all the information he had received, he
eve-.. 7 reason to believe that the matter would be
satisfactory disposed of. (Hear.)
MARITIME LAW.
Vie. RICARDO wished to. ask the President of the
trd of Trade; whether any dispatches have been
.nsmitted to that department from the Foreign-office,
:twining information or statistics bearing on the work-
; of the Maritime Laws of the United Kingdom, and,
10. whether he will lay them on the table of the house;
), whether any inquiries on these subjects have been
IT the Board of Trade of the British Consuls,
•.! t the Foreign :office.
iIENLEIT said, questions had been transmitted to
ieh consuls abroad, requesting them to furnish infor-
t in a particular form ; and to those questions
e f., :v answers had been received ; but the answers
related to the operation of the law in 1800, and not
851. Most of the answers merely conveyed opinions
riot facts ; and it was remarkable that some of these
,tens took different views to others of the operation
he law; but if the hon. gentleman wished it, there
no objeCtion to produce them. (Cheers.)
RAILWAY AMALGAMATION.
Vr:ZABOUCHERE wished to ask the right hon.
°li•tionlan who had last addressed them a question. of
'ort:;lderable importance to the public. It would refer
to
'R'e Wig of railway amalgamation which were ex-
;t.A to come before the house at no distant period,
the question he wished to ask was whether the
, non. gentleman had given the subject his considera-
••e, and whether he would be prepared at the proper
t; e to recommend to the house the course which ap-
-e red to him to be the best calculated for the house to
-orsue, in reference to the bills, with a view of giving
!le . public and the parties concerned that protection
•'hith they both desired? (Hear, hear.)
4r. LINLEY said the question which the right hon.
-aittensn had put to him could hardly be overrated iu
• :iiporta:rice. (Hear, hear.) He had had no oppor-
s.-,ity, nor had the department to which he was con-
,etedi of considering the details of these amalgamation
except that which was open to the public at
That was the parliamentary notices published
the Gazette, and it was quite clear from those notices
hat lar4e schemes of railway amalgamation were con-
;'„4:4)lat'',d. (Hear, hear). He had given such attention to
t''" as he had been able, and he thought it would
'I
daty of the house—so far, as he could see his
tZvk4twl'Tesent, to appoint a committee of inquiry, with
'tier ,„,f, devising the best means, either by standing
4,:,,`,`'ner.wise, of enabling the house to consider
with such measures. (Hear, hear). It
t duty of the house both for the
the

aen unadvisedly. (Hear, hear.)
