THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EN _ENG, AUGUST 17, 1853.

copy of any dispatch from her Majesty's Consul at Cartha-
gena (New Granada) to her Majesty's Principal Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs respecting the repeal of the
quarantine regulations formerly enforced at that port
against yellow fever, the admission to free pratique there
of the royal mail steam-packet Dee, and the reception into
the general hospital there of yellow fever patients from
that ship.— A greed to.
The Lords' amendments to the Commons' amendments i
the Charitable Trusts Bill were agreed to.
The Lords' amendments to the Courts of Common Law
(Ireland) Bill were agreed to.

DUBLIN CARRIAGES BILL,
Upon the reading of the Lords' amendments to this bill,
Mr. VANCE remonstrated strongly against the amend-
ment made by the upper house, by which ten instead of
seven statute miles from the General Post-office were fixed
upon as the limit to which drivers were bound to ply.
There was another amendment to which a strong objection
would be entertained—with regard to the disposal of the
penalties. The corporation of Dublin would have petitioned
against this bill -altogether if it had been understood from
the first that the penalties were to be monopolised by the
metropolitan police force, instead of going in part to the
guardians of the poor.
Sir J. YOUNG did not see that much disadvantage
could result to the ratepayers of Dublin, in whichever of
the two ways the penalties were employed. It was only
like putting the money out of we pocket into the other.
The Lords' amendments were then agreed to.
The house adjourned at half-past seven o'clock until
three o'clock on Friday, when the sitting will be a con-
tinuous one.
