HEALTH OF TOWNS.

Mr. MONTAGUE GORE presented petitions from
different parts of Devonshire in favour of the Health of
Towns Bill.

Mr. JOHN O'BRIEN presented a petition from S.
Maxwell Cullinan, of Ennis, praying that the same pri-
vileges in relation to professional communications which
are now enjoyed by lawyers, clergymen, and solicitors,
may be extended to surgeons and physicians. Also, a
petition from the citizens of Limerick, in public meeting
assembled, praying for the abolition of ministers' money,
and that the present incumbents may be indemnified.
DROPPED NOTICES OF MOTION.
The dropped notices of motion were re-appointed.
DROPPED ORDERS OF THE DAY.

The dropped orders of the day were also re appointed
ORDERS OF THE DAY.

Lord J. RUSSELL, in moving that the orders of the
day be now read, stated that it was his intention to
move to-day that the Encumbered Estates (Ireland)
Bill, which stood first in the orders of the
day for committal, should be committed pro
fornd 1, in order that the Bill might be reprinted,
and committed on a future day. He also wished
to state, with respect to the Health of Towns
Bill, that he proposed to take that measure into consi-
deration, not as he had stated the other day, to-morrow,
but on Friday. He should on that day, on the motion
for the House resolving itself into a Committee of
Supply, move, that the House proceed with the further
consideration of that important measure.
Captain HARRIS was anxious to know what course
the Government intended to pursue with respect to the
Highways Bill. That was a measure of great import-
ance, and ought, in his opinion, to be proceeded with.
Sir GEORGE GREY agreed with the Gallant
Member that the measure was a most important one,
and he trusted that the consideration it would
receive in Committee would remove the objections
that had been urged against it. He had been
in hopes that he would have boen enabled to have pro-
ceeded with the measure that day, but as he did not wish
to interfere with the measure on which the Hon. Mem-
ber for Dorsetshire addressed the House last 'Wed-
nesday—the Poor Removal Act Amendment Bill—he
would refrain from proceeding with the :measure to-day,
trusting that the House would sit at twelve o'clock on
Monday, in order to proceed with the Bill, and thereby
enable it to pass during the present session.

Mr. BANkES felt indebted to the Right Hon. Baronet
for the course he proposed to pursue. He trusted, how-
ever, that the Government would not neglect to proceed
with the Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill, as that
was a measure of the utmost importance. He had been
informed that the insurance offices had declined to enter
into any new transactions until either the Bill was re-
jected or adopted. He hoped, therefore, that the Go-
vernment would fix some early day for proceeding with
the measure.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD corroborated what
had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman, and he hoped the
Noble Lord would inform the House of his intention.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL admitted that the Bill was
a very important one, but at the same time very difficult.
It was felt to be so before its introduction. It was, how-
ever, introduced by the Lord Chancellor, and had come
down to the House of Commons. He proposed now
that it should go into Committee pro forma. When it
had gone through Committee he should fix an early thty
for its consideration, which the Government were de-
sirous to have soon. He was convinced that the opera-
tion of the Bill would not be such as at all to give any
ground for those fears which had been mentioned in
certain quarters.
Mr. F. FRENCH objected to the Bill proceeding, for
it would injure proprietors to a very great extent
indeed.

Mr. ESTCOURT asked whether he was quite right
in understanding that the Noble Lord had postponed
the Health of Towns Bill to Friday, for he did under-
stand before that ho had given notice of it for next
week ?

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had given notice o
it for Friday, and he was sure that after this early no.
tice it would not produce any inconvenience.

After some further conversation,

Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice that he would
take the Highways Bill on Friday next at twelve o'clock.
ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL.
The Bill then went through Committee pro found, to
be further considered on Friday at twelve o'clock.
HIGHWAYS BILL.

This Bill was also committed pro forma, in order to be
considered on Friday at twelve o'clock.
SEDUCTION AND PROSTITUTION BILL.

The House went into Committee on this Bill.

Mr. SPOONER, in answer to a question from Mr.
C. Berkeley, said he would certainly move that the
clause should be expunged.
On clause three being read,
Mr. C. BERKELEY objected to costs being allowed
in case of bills of indictment which had been preferred,
but not sustained. He moved that the clause should be
expunged.
Mr. HENLEY thought the words " compensation for
trouble and loss of time " in the clause were much too
wide, and gave a great deal too much power to compen-

sate a prosecutor:
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought these words
might be omitted, and the whole left to the present
course in criminal law.

The clause so amended was agreed to, as were
clauses four, five, six, and seven.
Mr. TRELAWNY thought that clause one would
clearly encourage conspiracy against individuals.
Mr. ROEBUCK felt ho had a disagreeable duty to
discharge, but he did it as one of the Committee. He had
always objected to the Bill, and his ground for so doing was,
that the Bill travelled altogether out of the sphere oflegis-
lation, and the effect of the law would positively be vicious.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Room C.
STOUSI VALLEY (No. It).

Mr. Robert Stephenson, C.E., engineer to the line, was
examined with respect to this line. The proposed line
would join the Midland branch at or near to Hales-
owen. It was a great advantage to the public to have
the main line communicating with Stourbridge, as it
would give the means of a direct access with Birming-
ham. He thought that the proposed line would be
ballasted in 24 or 25 days. By the proposed line
they would be enabled to combine with all the railways
to the north of Birmingham.

cl OSEPII ADY DEFEATED AT LAST.—A summons
was heard on the 18th inst., before Mr. Sergeant Man-
ning, the Judge of the New Court at Whitechapel, in
which the notorious Joseph Ady was the defendant, on
the plaint of Mr. G. R. Dodd, a solicitor, of New Broad-
street, City. It appeared from the statement of Mr
Rhodes, the clerk to the plaintiff, that the latter, some
time back, received from Ady one of his circulars, pro-
mising, as usual, some valuable information On the re-
ceipt of a fee of 11., which was afterwards paid to him
on his giving a receipt in writing, coupled with an un-
dertaking to return the money in case the promised in-
formation proved erroneous or useless. In return for
his fee Joseph sent the plaintiff a number of papers, con-
sisting chiefly of lists of unclaimed dividends, and re-
ports of cases in which he had figured as defendant be-
fore the magistrates, and, as he asserted, proved his
innocence of :the fraud imputed to him, together with
some absurd cautions against joining certain public
companies, all of which were utterly useless to the
plaintiff, who, in consequence, demanded the return of
his money, according to the condition upon which he had
paid it. This being refused by Ady, the summons was
taken out against him, and the Judge, after hearing
Ady's solicitor, who made the best of his bad case, de-
cided that the money should be repaid to the plaintiff,
with all his expenses, within a week from the hearing of
the summons.
THE DAGENHAM MunnEn.—Yesterday large pla-
cards were exhibited at all the station-houses of the me-
tropolis, and also posted in other places, offering a
reward of 501. for the apprehension of William Parsons,
police-sergeant, and Isaac Hickton, police-constable,
lately in the K division, charged with conspiracy and
perjury at the inquest held at Dagenham, in the county
of Essex, upon the body of George Clark, a

Committee has already been appointed to draw up the
plans for a liberal system of education.
HAMBURGH, Jura 17.—Disturbances, occasioned
by the high price of potatoes, have occurred in the
Market-place, which gave opportunity to evil disposed
persons to attack the houses of some of our peaceful
citizens at night, to injure their property, and to
commit other excesses. In consequence of this, the
Senate immediately took the most stringent measures,
imprisoned the ringleaders, who are subject to severe
punishment, and for the purpose of obviating a simi-
lar recurrence, has called out an armed force, and
published a circular, desiring the inhabitants, under
pain of arrest, not to assemble in numbers in the
streets. And those places which are patrolled shall
be frequented only by such persona as have business, or
who reside there. Every master of a family is exhorted
to keep a watchful eye over his sevants and appren-
tices, and not to permit them to be out later than
nine o'clock at night. Every public house, and other
places of public resort are to be cleared at ten o'clock,
until further notice. In conclusion, the Senate exhorts
the tnhabitants to consider the pressure in conse-
quence of the scarcity of provisions, will not be de-
creased, but augmented by public disturbances and
acts of violence.
