THE HEALTH or TOWNS BlLL.—Yesterday a de.
putation from the vestry of St. Marylebone waited upon
Ldrd Morpetb. Dr. Spry opened the proceedings by reading
a memorial, which set forth that the vestry did not oppose
the objects proposed by the Bill, but on the contrary were
anxious for the sanitory condition of the people. They did
not object to the machinery of the Bill, but were opposed to
its centralising character, to its interference with self- govern..
ment, to its mode of appointing one-third of the council, and
also to the clauses by which they believed the local Acts by
which the parish bad been governed were repealed. They
also objected to levy rates without limit, for the accomplish.
ment of objects over which they had no control. The Rev.
1 Dr. Spry, Sir James Hamilton, and other gentlemen of the
deputation, spoke at some length upon the inefficiency and
impracticability of the present system of the Government
Commissioners of Sewers. Sir B. Hall and Sir C. Napier re-
