THE GAS SUPPLY.

Dr. LETHEBY reported that the illuminating power
of the gas supplied to the City during the past week
had been above the requirements of the act, the
power having been about 14 candles ; and, as re-
gards the chemical quality, the average amount of
the sulphur in the City and Great Central gas had
been above the quantity sanctioned by Parliament,
and the amount of ammonia in the Chartered Gas
had been excessive.

Some other business was transacted, and the
Court adjourned.

[ADVERTISEMENT.)—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment.—
The Wanderer.—For all complaints ordinarily affecting
mankind, whether internal or external, nothing can com-
pare with these peerless remedies. Young and old of both
sexes may use them with certain success and perfect safety
—they are equally efficacious in hot and cold climates ;
no change of temperature or long keeping impair their
curative properties, which never deteriorate, and are
therefore especially adapted for emigrants and officers, or
gentlemen whose pleasures or duties lead them to foreign
countries and various climates. These remedies any man
can safely prescribe, with the absolute certainty that he
cannot do wrong. They purify, and purifying must be
beneficial, not only for the cure of the present ailment,
but for 'security against future disease.

EDINBURGH,

We understand that though the Liberal com-
mittee have not yet thought it necessary to take
any steps in the matter, both of the present
members are willing, though one of them is not
desirous, again to place their services at the
disposal of the constituency should it seem so to
desire. For some days past the party engaged in
resistance to the payment of the police tax have been
busily canvassing for signatures to a requisition to
Mr. Duncan M'Laren.—Scotsman.

LINLITHGOWSHIRE

Mr. Mill, of Millfield, has resolved, we understand,
not to offer himself as a candidate for the county,
owing to having found the ground to a large extent
pre-occupied by Mr. M'Lagan. An understanding
seems to have got abroad that Mr. M'Lagan is to
stand as a Conservative, which must, at least until
he confirms the statement himself, be held as a mis-
take, seeing that there is now a large majority of
Liberal electors on the roll, and that many of them
have signed Mr. Mlagan's requisition,--Scotsman,

NOTTINGHAM.

Three of the candidates for the representation of
this borough—Sir Robert Clifton and Messrs. Paget
and Morley—addressed the electors on Monday

night.
Sir R. Clifton made a public entry into the town,
preceded by bands of music. The horses were taken
from his carriage, and it was drawn into the town
by his partisans. tie addressed the electors and
non-electors at a monster meeting in the great
market-place, and was rapturously received.
vociferous applause.
The hon. bart. spoke of the votes he had given
and was frequently
lin tee rlopktee da t by great
the lemngotsht,
since he had been a member of the town. They had
all been independent votes ; and if returned again,
of which he felt himself sure, his conduct would be
that of an independent member, but they would
always, as heretofore, find him a friend to the work-
ing classes.
Messrs. Morley and Paget addressed the Liberal
electors in another part of the town. There is every
appearance of a very severe contest. Sir Robert
Clifton is the popular candidate.

IN RE CAPTAIN CROSSMAN.

Although it was stated in some of the daily papers that
Captain Crossman, who became liable in a considerable
amount for the Hon. R. Bethell, had been released from
custody, our reporter is informed that such was not really
the case, and that the application will have to be renewed
upon a future day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FEVER ABODES.—Mary Gorman, the owner of the house
No. 2, Motford place, Tottenham-court-road, attended to
answer the complaint of Mr. Thos. Curtis, Sanitary Inspec-
tor of St. Pancras, of having her house in such an over-
crowded state as to be dangerous to the health of the in-
habitants.

Mr. Cooper, solicitor to the Vestry of St. Pancras, at-
tended in support of the complaint, the proceedings being
taken under the Nuisances Removal Act.

After hearing Dr. Hillier, the medical officer of St. Pan-
cras, to the effect that fever had existed in some of the
houses in the place, and that the defendant's house was in
such an overcrowded state as to be injurious to the health
of the inhabitants, and Mr. Curtis, in confirmation of Dr.
Hillier,

Mr. Cooper said the object of the present proceedings
was the abatement of the nuisance, and not that of fining
the defendant.

The defendant said she would only be too happy to com-
ply with what was required, but she found a difficulty in
getting rid of the persons.
Mr. Cooper said that why the parish interfered was be-
canso there had been a great deal of fever in the district of
late.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a shocking thing to think that
poor working men should not have a better place to live
in than felons. If a man was in gaol there was the greatest
anxiety as to the number of cubic feet of air he should
have. The real thing was to turn the persons out ; they
would at all events, then, be free from fever. Ile was
bound to prevent the over-crowding, and to do all he could
to prevent fever breaking out.

An order was then made for the abatement of the nuis-
ance within 14 days.
A similar order was made in the cases of John Fitz-
gerald, the owner of No. 3, and Michael Doody, No. 4,
Metford-place.

THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS.

In reply to Lord CIIBLMSFORD,
Earl RUSSELL, who was very indistinctly heard in the
gallery, was understood to say that he had received a com-
munication from Mr. Rassam, bearing date the 28th April,
n which he stated that he had been in communication
with the King of Abyssinia. Rumours had been afloat
that the prisoners had been released, but on inquiry it was
discovered that they were unfounded. There had been no
additional charges brought against the prisoners. Mr.
Rassam had also stated that he had sent messengers to
inquire into tho matter, but only one had returned.
Lord CHELMSFORD inquired if any additional de-
mands had been made on the King, and, if so, whether
they had been accompanied by presents ?
Earl RUSSELL said that he had no more definite infor-
mation to lay on the table in addition to what had already
been produced.

Death of Marshal Magnan.

Marshal Magnan, who had been suffering
for
some weeks past from peritonitis, died yesterday
afternoon, in his 74th year. He was born in Parifi
in October, 1791. He enlisted as private soldier in
his 18th year, in the 66th Regiment of the Line, and
went through nearly all the campaigns in Portugal
and Spain. As captain of the Imperial Guard, 110
took an active part in the last campaign in France;
he was also present at the battle of Waterloo. 1110
fidelity to the Imperial cause to the last moment
did not, however, interfere with his promotion.
Owing to the protection of Marshal Gouvion St.
Cyr, he was incorporated ill the Royal Guard under
the second Restoration in 1815. He served in Spain
during the invasion by the French in 1823, and ae
Colonel of the 49th of the Line took part in the
expedition to Algiers in 1830. He was in garrison
at Moultrison, in France, in 1831, and being ordered
to Lyons to assist in putting down an insurrection
in that city, instead of pushing men forward, he
entered into a parley with the insurgents. For this
military fault he was put on the half-pay list. ll°
solicited and obtained permission to enter the Bel-
gian service the same year, and remained there till
1840, when he returned to France with the rank of
Major-General, to which he had been promoted in
1835. He commanded at Lyons in 1848, when be
put down the movement got up as the contre-coup
to the rising attempted in Paris on the 13th of
June, 1849. lie was then named to the command
of Strasbourg, and while there was chosen by the
electors of the Seine as one of their representative
to the Legislative Assembly. As Commander-in-
Chief of the army of Paris, a post he held since
July, 1851, when General Changarnier was removed
by the President of the Republic, he took a promi-
nent part in the coup-d'etat of the 2d of December,
for which he was rewarded with the baton of Field
Marshal, the dignity of senator, and the important
office of Grand Huntsman, vacant by the death of
Marshal St. Arnaud. Marshal Magnan is the third
of the prominent actors in the coup-Vtat who ha°
died. The others were St. Arnaud and De Moroi.

BUILDINGS.

Lord R. AIONTAGU asked the Under Secretary of State
for the Home Department whether the police constables on
duty in the Houses of Parliament, palaces, and public
buildings, have been removed from the first to the third
class, and, if so, for what reason; whether constables who
have been in the force for as long as 20 or 30 years are
similarly treated; whether they are prevented from con-
tributing to the extra pension fund ; whether their reduc-

tion from the first to the third class will affect the amount
of the pension which they will receive; and what class of
certificate those who have been reduced from the first to
the third class will receive for many years' service in the
Government offices and other public buildings.
Mr. G. BARING said that recently there had been an
increase of pay in the police. The constables employed in
the Houses of Parliament, palaces, and other public build-
ings had not had their pay increased, because they received
an allowance of 7s. a week in addition to their pay of one
guinea, so that they were really better paid than any other
constables, except those engaged in special service. Those
at present employed would be allowed to continue to sub-
scribe to the extra pension fund according to their pay
and allowance, but those appointed after a certain date
would only contribute according to their scale of pay.
Certificates were granted according to the conduct of the
constables, and not according to the rate of pay, and
therefore the certificates would not be affected by the rate
of pay.

MORTALITY ON BOARD COOLIE TRANSPORTS.
Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the
Colonies whether his attention had been drawn to the
great mortality that had recently occurred among the
coolies, in their transport to Demerara, and especially on
board the ships Clarence and Earl Russell ; and whether
anything could be done to render the passage less destruc-
tive to life, or so to regulate the emigration as to hinder
persons being embarked who are not in sound health.
Mr. CARDWELL said that his attention had been drawn
to the case of three ships, the Althea, the Clarence, and the
Earl Russell, which sailed from Calcutta to British Guiana
between November and January, on board of which consi-
derable and unusual mortality occurred. There was an
examination by the colonial authorities at British Guiana
in the case of each of these ships, and they reported that
there was nothing to find fault with in the ships' provi-
sions, or in the conduct of the masters and surgeons. The
Government attributed all the mortality to the deposit of
matter left by the inundation caused by the cyclone at Cal-
cutta, which did such serious injury to the emigrants to
British Guiana. He believed an incptiry was going on into
that subject at Calcutta. With regard to the general mor-
tality, he was glad to say that it had been of late years
constantly declining, and was now not large.

POLICE INTELLIGENCES—This Day.
MARLBOROUGH-S TREET.

FEVER ABODES.—Mary Gorman, the owner of the house
No. 2, Metford place, Tottenham-court-road, attended to
answer the complaint of Mr. Thos. Curtis, Sanitary Inspec-
tor of St. Pancras, of having her house in such an over-
crowded state as to be dangerous to the health of the in-
habitants.

Mr. Cooper, solicitor to tho Vestry of St. Pancras, at-
tended in support of the complaint, the proceedings being
taken under the Nuisances Removal Act.
After hearing Dr. Hillier, the medical officer of St. Pan-
cras, to the effect that fever had existed in some of the
houses in the place, and that the defendant's house was in
such an overcrowded state as to ho injurious to the health
of the inhabitants, and Mr. Curtis, in confirmation of Dr.
Hillier,

Mr. Cooper said the object of the present proceedings
was the abatement of the nuisance, and not that of fining
the defendant.

The defendant said she would only be too happy to com-
ply with what was required, but she found a difficulty in
getting rid of the persons.
Mr. Cooper said that why the parish interfered was be-
cause there had been a great deal of fever in the district of
late.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a shocking thing to think that
poor working men should not have a better place to live
in than felons. If a man was in gaol there was the greatest
anxiety as to the number of cubic feet of air he should
have. The real thing was to turn the persons out ; they
would at all events, then, be free from fever. He was
bound to prevent the over-crowding, and to do all he could
to prevent fever breaking out.
An order was then made for the abatement of the nuis-
ance within 14 days.

A similar order was made in the cases of John Fitz-
gerald, the owner of No. 3, and Michael Doody, No.
Metford-place.

The Avvenire says :—" The Englishman captured
by the brigands at Battipaglia has not been libe-
rated, as was stated, neither, as far as we know,
has the troop in pursuit of the band yet succeeded
in discovering their retreat. The English Consul,
it is said, leaves nothing undone to obtain the libe-
ration of the prisoner, whose sad condition, as well
as the novelty and gravity of the 'affair, greatly
disturbs the English residents. They are making
the most active search, and the departure of General
Armelfii for Salerno will, it is hoped, be the means
of efficaciously terminating this unhappy affair."

BUILDINGS.

Lord R. MONTAGU asked the Under Secretary of State
for the Homo Department whether the police constables on
duty in the Houses of Parliament, parsecs, and public
buildings, have been removed Irons the first to the third
class, and, if so, for what reason ; whether constables who
have been in the force for as long as 20 or 30 years are
similarly treated; whether they are prevented from con-
tributing to the extra pension fund ; whether their reduc-
tion from the first to the third class will affect the amount
of the pension which they will receive ; and what class of
certificate those who have boon reduced from the first to
the third class will receive for many years' service in the
Government offices and other public buildings.
Mr. G. BARING said that recently there had been an
increase of pay in the police. The'constables employed in
the Houses of Parliament, palaces, and other public build-
ings had not had their pay increased, because they received
an allowance of 75. a week in addition to their pay of ono
guinea, so that they were really better paid than any other
constables, except those engaged in special service. Those
at present employed would be allowed to continue to sub-
scribe to the extra pension fund according to their pay
-and allowance, but those appointed after a certain date
would only contribute according to their scale of pay.
Certificates wore granted according to the conduct of the
constables, and not according to the rate of pay, and
therefore the certificates would not be affected by tho rate
of pay.
MORTALITY ON BOARD COOLIE TRANSPORTS.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked, the Secretary of State for the
Colonies whether his attention had been drawn to the
great mortality that had recently occurred among the
coolies, in their transport to Demerara, and especially on
board the ships Clarence and Earl Russell ; and whether
anything could be done to render the passage less destruc-
tive to life, or so to regulate the emigration as to hinder
persons being embarked who aro not in sound health.
Mr. CARDWELL said that his attention had beon drawn
to the case of three ships, the Althce, the Clarence, and the
Earl Russell, which sailed from Calcutta to British Guiana
between November and January, on board of which consi-
derable and unusual mortality occurred. There was an
examination by the colonial authorities at British Guiana
in the case of each of these ships, and they reported that
there was nothing to find fault with in the ships' provi-
sions, or in the conduct of the masters and surgeons. The
Government attributed all the mortality to the deposit of
matter left by the inundation caused by the cyclone at Cal-
cutta, which did such serious injury to the emigrants to
British Guiana. He believed an inquiry was going on into
that subject at Calcutta. With regard to the general mor-
tality, he was glad to say that it had been of late years
constantly declining, and was now not large.
POOR LAW BOARD CONTINUANCE BILL.

In reply to Mr. HIBBERT,
Mr. VILLIERS said he hoped to bring in tho above bill
on Thursday.
