IMPERIAL P

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This may.
The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve.
FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT.

Mr. COBDEN moved an address for a copy of a me-
morial from certain shipowners of Liverpool to the Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, suggesting an alteration
in the Foreign Enlistment Act.
The motion was agreed to.

POISONED GRAIN, &c., PROTECTION BILL.
Mr. PAULL rose to move the second reading of this bill.
He showed that great injury had occurred to vegetation
by the extermination of birds, while, in the districts where
that destruction had taken place, insect life had greatly
increased. He had no intention of interfering by this bill
with the game laws, much lesa to make them more strin-
gent than they are. It was solely in the interest of farmers
and agriculture that he asked the house to pass this bill,
which would prevent the indiscriminate slaughter of birds
not now protected by law. He pointed out the dangers
arising from the use of poisoned wheat, strychnine being
generally used, and sometime cosulus indicus and arsenic.
He mentioned a case in which two poisoned rats were
found inside a valuable sow, which had died suddenly from
some apparently inexplicable cause. He should, how-
ever, move the committal of the bill, in order that the
amendment might be printed.
Mr. FORSTER seconded the motion. I t was at one time
supposed that no poison could be used successfully except
poisoned grain ; but he cited the opinion of a practical agri-
culturist to show that vitriol was equally adaptable and far
more safe. He deprecated the cruel practice of poisoning
small birds with poisoned wheat. Scientific men had clearly
demonstrated that small birds were indspensable in the
economy of agriculture. On the grounds of public safety
they ought to pass the bill, for poisoned game found its way
to their table°. He begged to suggest to his hon. friend
that the penalty for using poisoned wheat should be in•
creased to £2O.

Mr. CAIRD supported the bill, and would be glad if it
could be made useful without being injurious to the agri-
cultural interest. It was, however, a mistake to suppose that
small birds did, not do a great deal of injury to game and
gardens.
Sir H. STRACEY also supported the bill, and read
letters to show that in one case, where birds were exten-
sively poisoned, the vegetables were covered with that de-
structive insect the caterpiller, which had not previously
been the case.

Viscount GALWAY considered the bill indispensable.
In passing through Eton the other day he was surprised
to see for sale iu a window of that academical village,
" Doubly strong poisoned wheat—warranted to kill any-
thing," (Hear, and laughter.)
Mr. MARSH supported this bill, saying that plenty of
substitutes could be found bereft of danger.
Mr. HENLEY said there was a great deal of truth in
what had been said with respect to the destruction of small
birds; but unless they were very careful they would pre.
vent sportsmen from shooting birds that came under that
definition. As the bill stood it would not stand the
test of legislative investigation, so that he should be glad
to be afforded an opportunity of examining the amended bill
promised. They would have a bill careful in defining
what vermin consisted of. It was an ugly word. (Laugh-
ter.) Was a fox so definable? He should like to knew
how the lawyers would describe him. (Hear and laughter.)
Sir G. GREY said, undoubtedly it was a mischievous
practice to expose poisoned wheat, as at the present time,
but he feared the bill would be impracticable in its present
shape, for he did not find that the proposed amendments
would improve it. He should, however, support the
second reading on this understanding that the hon.
member would reprint this bill ; but he apprehended it
would be more advisable for him to withdraw it and to in-
troduce an amended measure.
Mr. SLATER-BOOTH supported the bill.
Sir J. SHEL LEY said he was a farmer of thirty years
standing, and had tried every system of protecting his
wheat from destruction by birds, and used wheat steeped
n arsensio. Farmers were much to blame for not drilling
their wheat deep enough.
After a few words from Mr. Diirrotr, the bill was read
a second time, and the amended bill was ordered to be
printed and circulated.
CASUAL POOR (METROPOLIS) BILL.

Lord RAYNIIAM moved the second reading of this bill
the object of which, he said, was to amend the present law
with respect to the immediate relief of casual, ailing, and
distressed poor in the metropolis.

A Blaze of Colour—New Roses at the Crystal

Palace Show,

We wrote down on the spot a description of each
of the new roses as shown, and we shall give
these descriptions as we made them. Messrs. Paul and
Son, of Cheshunt, took first prize in this class with the
following :—Pourpre a'Orleans, velvety purple shading
off to pucy-crimson, cupped, full, medium size ; Madame
C. Wood, purplish-red, not very different to the last,
but larger, petals large and thick, the reverse of the
petals whitish, a fine rose ; Alphonse Damaizin, in
the way of Eugene Appert, lively scarlety-erimson, a very
striking rose, and first-rate in character; Souvenir de Comte
Cavour (Moreau) ; there are two new roses of this name,
and both were in this stand ; this is like Colonel de Rouge-
mont in form, and is rather coarse, with a bad centre, colour
lake shading to lilac-rose ; Souvenir do Comte Cavour (Mar-
gottin), deep purplish-crimson shading to nearly black, very
full and large, and in many points like Lord Clyde, a good
rose ; Maurice Bernardin, deep lake (not vermilion, as
described in the catalogues), large, full, imbricated, a
lovely rose, and indispensable; Beauty of Waltham,
rosy-crimson, a shade paler than we have been accus-
tomed to see it, perhaps owing to its having been
too much shaded, nicely cupped, good substance, a
first-class rose ; Alba rosea, a poor creamy white Tea,
with a tinge of roses in the centre, a seedling of Devo-
niensis, and as shown on this occasion worthless; Madame
Clemence Joigneaux, large, rich rose, fine ; Richard Smith,
deep crimson shaded with violet, the same colour as Mar-
gottin's Souvenir de Comte Cavour, but smaller, and
otherwise not so good ; Mareschal Vaillant, glowing
crimson-lake, small, full, very compact, and in every
sense a lovely rose ; Madame Helye, lilac-rose, cupped,
medium size, fine ; Triomphe de Caen, centre scarlet-crim-
son, outside petals purplish-crimson, small, neat, cupped,
good; Jean Goujon, clear red, exquisitely formed; this
flower was full cut, and had as good a centre as any roso
in cultivation; Le Rhone, rich magenta-crimson (not
vermilion, as described in the catalogues), exquisitely
formed, a brilliant variety for exhibition, and free enough
for clumps and beds; Vulcain, deep purple, shading to black,
medium size, better than Refine des Violettes ; Professor
Koch, a light cupped globular flower, colour rosy catise,
shaded with crimson ; Olivier Delhomme, purplish red, like
Bourbon Souchet, charming foliage ; Gloire de Chatillon,
not in any way, ,so far as we could judge, to be distin-
guished from Margottin's Souvenir de Comte Cavour;
Robert Fortune, lilac-rose, loose, confused centre, sweet
scent, quite second rate ; President Lincoln, a curious mix -
tore of lake and lilac. crimson, good to the very core, im-
bricated, outer petals reflexing, in the way of Lord Raglan,
and equally desirable ; Lord Clyde, better than ith awseellver

HEALTH OF LONDON,

From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

The rate of mortality in London was nearly con-
stant during the month of June. In the week that
ended last Saturday the deaths were 1,187. The
average weekly number at the beginning of July,
corrected for increase of population, is 1,142, and
therefore in the present return there is an excess of
45 above the estimated amount.

There were 43 deaths from smallpox in the week.
In June the weekly number varied from 43 to 46.
Of the 43 cases 4 are stated to have occurred to the
vaccinated.

Scarlatina was fatal i❑ 73 cases, 5 of which oc-
curred in Limehouse.

There were 4 deaths from intemperance. Six
cases of infanticide were recorded in the week, 3 of
which were in the sub-district of St. Mary, Pad-

dington.

A girl, aged cne year, died of in'ussu'ceP wn
caused by swallowing a cherry-stone; and a boy,
aged eight years, of apnoea from a cherry-stone im-
pacted in the larynx.
Last week the births of 995 boys and 942 girls,
in all 1,937 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1853 62
the average number (corrected) was 1,728.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29 673 in.
The mean reading was above 30:n. on four days of
the week. The reading decreased to 29.78 in. on
Sunday, and rose to 30.17 on Wednesday. The
mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.4
deg., which is 2 deg. below the average of the same
week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher).
The lowest night temperature was 45.5 deg. on
Wednesday. The highest day reading was 74'2
deg. on Friday. The range in the week was there-
fore 28.7 deg. The mean daily range was 22.3 deg.
The difference between the mean dew-point tem-
perature and air temperature was 9.9 deg. The
mean degree of humidity of the air was 70. On four
days the humidity was only 67. The wind blew most
frequently from the west-south-west. On Saturday
it was in the north-east. There was no rain, except
some slight showers on Monday.

In the 13 weeks that ended on Saturday, June
27, a high mortality prevailed in London. It was
above the average in each successive week till the
13th, when it fell below the estimated number for
that week. In the second week the deaths rose to
1,610, and to April 25 the weekly number was never
below 1,400. In the first week int May the deaths
rose to 1,459, and in the last week of that month
they were 1,296. During the rest of the quarter
they were about 1,200 in a week, or not much below
that number.

In April the mean temperature of the air at
Greenwich was 49 deg. ; in May it was 52 deg.;
and in June it was 58 deg. Between the mean
temperature of the first week in the quarter and
that of the last there was a difference of 16 deg.
The mean of the quarter was 52.7.
The total number of deaths in the quarter was
17,417. In the four corresponding quarters of 1859-
62 the lowest number was less than 14,000, and the
highest less than 16,000. The mortality from zymo-
tic diseases was excessive, the deaths classed under
this head having amounted to 5,003. In the last
four corresponding quarters they ranged only from
2,900 to 3,900.
Smallpox and scarlatina chiefly contributed to the
high aggregate result produced by zymotic diseases.
Scarlatina, which caused 1,055 deaths, was the most
fatal iu this class. The deaths from smallpox rose
to 788, of which 574 occurred to persons under 20
years of age, 165 at the age of 20-40, 43 at 40-60
years, and 6 at a more advanced age.
With reference to the sub-districts in which fatal
cases of smallpox were most frequent the table shows
there were 12 in St. Mary Paddington, 12 in Ken-
sington, 12 in May Fair, 13 in Belgravia, 28 in
St. John -Westminster, 17 in St. Margaret West-
minster, 21 in the Rectory, Maryiebone, 14 in Cam-
den-town, 30 in Islington East, 15 in St. Giles
South, 11 in St. Anne Soho, 10 in Hoxton New-
town, 16 in Church Bethnal•green, 10 in Town
Bethnal-green, 20 in Limehouse, 14 in Mile-end
Old-town-east, 42 in Poplar, 12 in Leather-inarket
Bermondsey, 14 in Borough-road, 16 in St. Peter
Walworth.
The Smallpox Hospital returned 62 deaths.
The deaths from scarlatina were 677 in the Spring
quarter of 1862 against 1,055 in that of the present
year ; the deaths from diptheria in the same times
were 172 and 175. The fact that the mortality of
the former disease should have been greatly aug-
mented, while that of the latter was stationary,
supports the conclusion that the two complaints
are specifically different.
