of adults, owing to the Emigration Commissioners having
relaxed their rules as to children. In future, however,
none but single-decked vessels would be chartered, while
each family would be restricted to two children under 7
years of age, or three under 10 years of age. (Hear.)
METROPOLITAN BURIAL GROUNDS.

Lord D. STUART wished to call the attention of the
noble lord the Secretary for the Home Department to
the disgraceful state of the graveyards in the metropolis
—particularly that of St. Clement Danes, in the Strand.
Great complaints bad been "made of the state of that
churchyard, and many persons had been attacked by
serious diseases in consequence of passing along that
part of the Strand. One gentleman, who happened to
be passing at the time of a funeral, was struck with a
most virulent disease, which assumed an appearance I
very like the plague, swellings haNing arisen under each
arm, and he remained for a considerable time in a state
of great danger. Many medical men of eminence consi-
dered it dangerous .for persons to 'pass along the streets
and were of opinion that many deaths had taken place
from that cause. He had been assured by one medical
man that putrid flesh and blood had sometimes been'
thrown up by the gravedigger when exercising his func-
tions in that churchyard. He wished to ask whether
the attention of the Government had been drawn to`this
matter, and whether the noble would not exercise the
authority given him by the act of Parliament, in order
to put a stop to the practices to which he had referred.—
(sear, hear.) .

yard. With regard to the general state of the churhyards
of the metropolis, he considered they were a disgrace to
the country at large, and he could assure the
noble lord that it was a subject which would claim a
considerable share of the attention of the Government.
(Hear, hear.)
SIR CHARLES WOOD AT HALIFAX.
_ _

Mr. DISRAELI next gave notice that on Monday
next he would ask the Right Hon. Gentleman the Pre-
sident of the Board of Control, whether he was correctly
reported with regard to a speech which he had lately made
at Halifax, in which he was represented to have spoken
of a neighbouring country, France, as suffering under a
despotism more grinding than that of Napoleon the First
—that the press there was gagged, and that the reason
of his hatred for this country was his inability to gag the
press of this country as he had gagged that of other
countries. He thought it was desirable to have
an answer to that question before they came to vote the
army estimates. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. SPOONER asked Lord John Russell whether
Mr. Sadleir had any authority for saying, on the hust-
ings at Carlow, that " the noble lord had proffered a
political refutation of the course which he had taken
with respect to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which that
distinguished nobleman had had the manliness to proffer ;"
and for saying, " that the principle of the Ecclesiastical
Titles Bill had been deliberately and openly abandoned ;"
and to ask the noble lord, whether the noble lord still
thought that the aggression of the Pope, which induced
his lordship to bring forward the Ecclesiastical Titles
Bill, was " insolent and insidious," and fully justified the
introduction of that measure ?

Lord JOHN 'RUSSELL said, that when he had seen
the report in question in the newspapers, he had not
thought it necesssary to ask Mr. Sadleir for an explanation,
thinking it so obviously incorrect that the speech could
not have been made by him. Mr. Sadleir, however, had
since voluntarily informed him that this report was, as
he (Lord John Russell) had thought, entirely incorrect.
(Hear.) With regard to the last part of the question,
although he thought the hon. member was going too far
in seeking to know his (Lord J. Russell's) thoughts, he
had only to say, as the hon. member was curious on that
point, that he still thought the same as he had done two
years ago. (Hear.)
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
In reply to Mr. ADDERLBY,
Mr. PEEL said that he believed the obstacles which
had lain in the way of the completion of the constitution
of the Cape and which related chiefly to the franchise
and the separation of the two colonies had been removed,
and he hoped that it would be sent out by the next
month's mail. (Hear, hear.) The Government had no
intention of forming any convict settlement in South
Africa ; and with regard to the late march of
General Cathcart into the Orange River territory,
that was a step which he had taken on 1434viaxesponsi-
bility, and had no reference to the extension of the
Queen's dominions.in that quarter.
BRITISH EMBASSY AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

In answer to Lord DUDLEY STUART,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he had to-day had
a-conversation with Lord Strafford; -aitd he was enabled
to state that that noble lord would almost immediately
return to resume the duties of his mission at Constanti-
nople. (Cheers.)
-

The motion for adjournment was then agreed to.

TRANSFER AIDS BILL.
This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed.

'Leave was given to the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to bring in a bill to authorise advances from the Con-
solidated Fund to discharge money borrowed for metro-
politan improvements on the security of the crown
estates, and to charge the same on the London Bridge
Approaches Fund.

THE TEA DITTIES.
Mr. MACGREGOR withdrew the motion of which
he had given notice, for a reduction of the tea duties,
stating that he should for the present leave the matter
in the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and
take no further steps until after the introduction of the
budget.

The other orders were then disposed of, and the house
adjourned.

COLLISIONS AND FOUNDERING OF Two VESSELS.—By
the arrival of the brig Jane and Catherine of Frazerburgh,
at Bridlington, we have been informed of a serious and
fatal collision having taken place early on Thursday
morning, a few miles to the northward of Flamborough-
head. As the brig Charlotte, of Newcastle, Mr. Anni-
son, master,' was Making "her war to the southward from
the Tyne :to Lona* at about five. c'elgck, she' was' run
info by a schooner; which bY:scithe ineins iniinhged to
get clear almost immediately'. and : bear away. The
schooner struck her amidships, cutting her down to be-
low the watermark. The master, finding exertions were
of no avail to save the ship, and perceiving a craft within
hail, exhibited a light and called for assistance. She
stood off, however, unheeded the cries, and left the poor
fellows to their fate. As a last resource, the foundering
of the vessel being inevitable, they jumped into the long-
boat, and cutting the ropes which held her, the sea
carried her clear of the deck as the brig went down.
Unhappily one man lost his life. The carpenter, who
had charge of the helm, observing the vessel sinking,
jumped down below to save his clothes-bag, and before
ionre
he could return the brig disappeared, and he perished
with her. Fortunately the crew in the boat were sub-
sequently picked up by the Jane and Catherine, which
landed them at Bridlington. On the night before (Wed-
nesday) a similar accident befel the Hero of Blyth. She
was run into by the Fellowship of Seaham, and almost
instantly went down. The crew had just time to scramble
on board the Fellowship and save themselves, when their
ill-fated vessel foundered. Both vessels were insured.
ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—An
accident of a serious character, and attended with con-
siderable destruction of property, occurred on the Great
Northern Railway on Thursday afternoon last. The
scene of the disaster was at Offord station, about mid-
waytn, b

train of ballast waggons was issuing from a siding near
the station at the moment when a train of goods vans
and empty coal waggons was approaching in the oppo-
site direction. Whether the signals were properly exhi-
bited or not remains -to be ascertained : but though it
was broad clear daylight at the time, the two engines
continued to advance towards each other, and in a few
moments came into collision with a tremendous crash.
Both engines were forced up on end, and the driver of
-the goods train, John Rigby, fell under his engine, appa-
rently killed on the spot. The driver and stoker of the
other train jumped off just before the collision took
place, and escaped with very little injury beyond a shock.
They prOceeded in getting .Rigby from under the engine,

have also purchased a freehold of 127 acres as the site
