ments.

REPORTS

The reports on the following Bills were brought up and
agreed to:—
Lord Kinnaird's (Sir John Webb's) Estate Bill.
Spahlii,g's Estate Bill.
Yeovil Borough Estate Bill. . .
EJECTED TENANTRY (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD postponed the second
reading of this Bill till Wednesday week. -
CHARITABLE TRUSTS 1.11.1,
On the neer of the day for going into Committee on this
Bill being read,
Mr. HUME proceeded to move the amendments on this
Bill, of which he had given notice.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the 1 t on. Member
would not proceed, as the Right lion. Secretary for the
Home Department was unavoidably absent from the lions-.
Mr: HUME had no objection, then, to postpone his
amendment till the Right Hon. Gentleman was in his place.
Sir R. INGLIS thought that he would not have a more
favourable opportunity for making the few observations
which he wished to make on this measure. The Hon.
Member then expatiated at considerable length on the pro-
' visions of the Bill, which he considered altogether unneces-
sary and unjust, and concluded by moving that the House
resolve itself into Committee this day three months.
Sir. GEORGE GREY, having entered the House during
the discussion, said that the Lord Chancellor had assured him
that the whole question was under his consideration, and
that he would bring in a Bill on the subject in the early part
of next session. _

Mr. B. ESCOTT wished the Right Hon. Gentleman to
assure the House that, in the measure to be brought forward
by Government, care Would be taken to inquire in the whole
question of the admistration of public charities.
Sir GEORGE GREY said that he fully concurred in the
principle of the Bill, namely, that of accountability; and
he was sure the measure proposed to be introduced would
be based on that principle. -
After a few words from Lord Harry Vane, Mr. R. Yorke,
Mr. Henley, and Sir G. Grey,
Mr. HUME denied the allegation of theßight Hon. Baronet
(Sir R. Inglis), that the Bill interfered with voluntary sub-
scriptions. It merely related to endowed charities, and as
the 'subject was to be taken up early next session by her
Majesty's Government, he had no objection to withdraw the
Bill at present.
Sir PEEL stated that he was of opinion that persons
entrusted with the administration of the charities should
render an account of their stewardship to the House.—
(Hear, hear.) He also was anxious that the return should
be ample, • and at the same time comprehensive.
He fuliy approved of the principle of the measure, but as the
Government had intimated their intention of introducing a
more extensive measure in the ensuing session, he thought
the Iloa Member had exercised a wise discretion in with-
drawing it.
Sir R. H. INGLIS explained that he never advocated the
principle of non-accountability.
After a few words from Mr. BERNAL, the Bill was with-
drawn.

SUPPLY OF WATER TO LONDON.—The metropolis is
supplied with this useful element by eight different water
companies, viz., the New River Company supply 94,000
houses with 13,000,000 gallons daily. ; the East London,
Waterworks supply 62,000 houses with 7,500,000 gallons;
the West Middlesex Company supply 20,000 houses with
3,000,000 gallons; the Chelsea Waterworks supply 17,000
houses with 2,200,000 gallons ; the Grand Junction Com-
pany supply 10,500 houses with 3,500,000 gallons • the
Lambeth Waterworks supply 20,000 houses with 1,500,000
gallons ; the Vauxhall Waterworks supply 13,500 houses
with 1,300,000 gallons; and the Southwark Water Company
supply 12,000 houses with 1,000,000 gallons daily, making s
grand total of 36,000,000 gallons of water running daily into
the metropolis from the reservoirs of the different companies..
The total number of houses supplied is 550,000, or 144 gallons
to each house. The population of London and its suburbs is
2,500,000 persons; if they all consumed an equal quantity
of water, it would be equal to 14 gallons daily, or 5,110
gallons yearly to each person. The yearly consumption of
water in London amounts to 13,140,000,000 gallons ; this
it mense quantity of water would supply the whole popula-
tion of Great Britain and Ireland (30,000,000 persons), with
'one pint. per day for ten years, or the whole population of
the known world (9,600,000,000 persons) with one pint per
day, for twelve days. Supposing this quantity of water was
in one reservoir, with a spout it the bottom, so that the
water could flow at the rate of four gallons per minute, it
would require 5,850 years, or as long as the world has been
erected, to empty it, and the weight of tht . water would be
46,928,571 tons.
SIR ROBERT PEEL.—Sir Robert Peel is expected

his Noblt Friend the Earl of Aberdeen. We doubt

STATE OF " 'JADE.
•
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JUTX 14.—The yarn market
continues very quiet; and prices of some descriptions,
particularly warps and the qualitics of mule yarn suit-
able for the Indian market, are again rather lower. The
demand for cloth continues much the same as last week,
and price. remain steady.
ROCIIDALE, MONDAY, JULY I3.—There has been
some little improvement in demand for pieces to-day,
but no change in prices. The wool market continues
inactive, and the business transacted has been very
limited, at former prices.
lIUDDERSFIELD, JULY 14.—Again we have to report
an improvement in our market. Several buyers have
attended to-day, and some heavy purchases have been
made in dark-coloured goods. The manufacturers, how-
ever, complain most of the sacrifice they are obliged to
make to effect sales.
LEEDS, TUESDAY, JULY 14.—There is little altera-
tion to notice in our market. The lower descriptions of
goods, which have been in request for some time, are
taken off as brought in, and a tone of confidence seems
gradually gaining ground with both merchants and ma-
nufacturers.—Manchester Guardian.

Esq. ;

5. That in order to render efficient aid to the sufferers, a general
subscription throughout the United Kingdom appears to be Indispen-
sable ; and it is therefore earnestly hoped that local committees will
be formed in all the cities and principal towns, and that they will be
➢leased to remit their contributions direct to the General Committee,
at it. John's, or to the Committee in London.
Moved by JAM= CILOADT, Esq., Speaker of the House of Assembly
of Newfoundland, seconded by Captain the Hon. FLANCIA
MAUDIT, B. N. ;
6. That these resolutions and the lists of subscriptions be adver-
tised at the discretion of the Committee.
Moved by THOMAS HOLDBWOHTII Baooxixo, Esq., seconded by

itonrxr li-timusoN ;
7. That the warmeat and moat cordial thanks of this meeting be
given to the Eight lion. the Lord Mayor, for the readiness and
kindness with which he consented to take the chair, and also for
the urbanity with which he has presided over the proceedings of
this day.
Subscriptions to the amount of 2,4001. were announced to the
meeting, a list of which will be published to-morrow.

and word by word; and I have restored the sense wherever I did
not find it clearly rendered. It is the only one which I have cor-
rected. I declare in consequence, that I acknowledge this translation
as the only faithful expression of my thoughts in the English lan-
guage, and I recommend it as such to all my readers."

Douglas Jerrold's Magazine observes, " It is possible to invest with
freshness a country previously described by many writers. Mr. Reade's
volumes are highly original ; because, basing his remarks on his own
idiosyncracies, he rather controverts some of the opinions of others
than echoes them. He has collected, in moving along, many legends
and traditions,"

FATAL ACCIDENT.

TUESDAY.—Yesterday afternoon a fatal
accident occurred upon the Bristol and Birmingham Rail-
way, about six miles from this town. The following facts
are obtained from official sources, and may be relied upon in
the main as correct :—Between Bronasgrove and the Barnt-
green Station, the guard of the passenger train (named
William Stock), which arrives in Birmingham at half-past
three o'clock, r. 51., left his seat at the break on the carriage,
immediately behind the tender, to enter into conversation
with a person—a contractor for work on the line—who was
seated on the roof of the succeeding carriage. For this pur-
pose Stock walked across the root of his own carfiage, and
sat upon the roof of the one upon an outside seat of which
his friend was seated. Upon arriving near the Dana-green
station, the engineer or stoker,.whose duty it may be, gave
the usual signal by 'whiAtle, when the untortunate man
Stock, whoe back was t..wards the station, jumped up from
his seat, with a view to return to the break, when his head
alm,st instantly came in contact with the arch of the
bridge, and his body was thrown between two of the
carriages. The train paged over. him, and it was nut until
the train stopped at the station that the body of the de-
ceased was taken up. It was then ascertained that the
skull was dreadfully fractured ; otnerwise he had suffered
little injury.
The deceased, who, although insensible, was still living,
was immediately conveyed ia a compartment of one of the
carriages to the Birmingham station, and thence to the
Queen's Hospital, at 11. illoway-head. He arrived there about
four o'clock, and died atnut half-past five.
It will be recollected that a year and a half ago an acci-
dent somewhat similar happened on this line, at the Kings-
norton-bridge, only two or three miles distant from the spot
where the present one occurred. In that instance the corn
pany were blamed fur the erection of pillars on each side, for
the support of the arch of the bridge. A guard of one of the
trains, at the time referred to, met with his death in conse-
quence of his head coming in c•mtact with one of those pil-
lars. In the present case it does not appear that blame is to
be attributed to any improper construction of the bridge. It
is one of the highest on the whole line between Bristol and.
Birmingham. So far as can be ascertained frmn present evi-
dence, the accident, lamentable as it is, would appear to be
the result of the deceased's own indiscretion. He was a man
nearly six feet high; and when it is considered that his
head was struck by the centre of the arch, it does not seem
probable that the height of the bridge could be deemed
dangerous.
The body of the deceased having been removed out of
Worcestershire into Birmingham, the case is now within the
jurisdiction of Dr. Birt Davies, the borough coroner, who
has appointed to take the inquest to-morrow.
The deceased was a remarkably steady, sober man, and
much respected by the superior officers of the company. He
has left behind him a wile and five children.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JULY 14.—The yarn market
continues very quiet; and prices of some descriptions,
particularly warps and the qualities of mule yarn suit-
able for the Indian market, are again rather lower. The
demand for cloth continues much the same as last week,
and prices remain steady.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JULY 13.—There has been
some little improvement in demand for pieces to .day,
but no change in prices. The wool market continues
inactive, and the business transacted has been very
limited, at former prices.
HUDDERSFIELD, JULY 14.—Again we have to report
an improvement in our market. Several buyers have
attended to-day, and some heavy purchases have been
made in dark-coloured goods. The manufacturers, how-
ever, complain most of the sacrifice they are obliged to
make to effect sales.

LEEDS, TUESDAY, Jrrx.r 14.—There is little altera-
tion to notice in our market. The lower descriptions of
goods, which have been in request for some time, are
taken off as brought in, and a tone of confidence seems
gradually gaining ground with both merchants and ma-
nufacturers.—Manchester Guardian.

ST. KATHERINE'S DOCKS.

On Tuesday the half-yearly meeting of tbe proprietors of
stock in this company was held at the Dock House, Tower-
bill, for the purpose of receiving a report from the Court of
Directors, to declare a dividend, and for the election of di-
rectors to serve for the year ensuing. Mr. Thomas Tooke in
the chair. _

The Secretary, Sir John Hall, read the minutes of the last
court.

The CHAIRMAN stated that, pursuant to the usual course
of proceeding, the dividend to ha now declared would be the
same as last half year's. He would therefore propose that a
dividend of 2i per cent. for the last half year (the company
paying the income tax) should be declared. As no doubt it
would be satisfactory to the proprietors to have laid before
them on abstract of the returns made up relative to the trade
of the port of London in the last six months, as compared
with that of 1815, he would read the following statistics
