LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1846.

The labouring classes of the metropolis ought to
feel thernselveg under very great obligations to the
Bishop of LONDON for the zealous and persevering
manner in which that Right Reverend Prelate has
advocated their personal, intellectual, and moral im-
provement in relation to the subject of cleanliness.
There is something so truly practical, we may al-
most call it something so truly philosophical; in the
repnerative•moyement which has latterly been am.
bitioned for the industrial poor, and of which move-
ment the Bishop of LONDON has been the principal
originator, that we regard every additional evidence
of its onward march with a satisfaction of an in-
effable character. 'We have already so fully expa-
tiated upon the necessity of propagating a love for

cleanliness among the multitude, as a preliminary
step to their more spiritual culture, that any
further dallying upon this question would,
we are willing to believe, be considered as superfluous.
We have demonstrated the absurdity of erecting
museums, and constructing fountains, and endowing
lectureships, and of laying cut pleasure-grounds for
the amusement or instruction of the population, when
that population is permitted to continue so massed
and caked-up in the degradation of filth—filth of
body, filth of apparel, and filth of dwelling-house
—as to be altogether precluded from participation in
such elevating studies or such humanizing enjoy-
ments. Let us endeavour to purge away
the leaven
of " the earth earthiness" before we attempt to instilleaven"the heaven heavenliness"—knowledge I Let us col-
lect the diamonds of human intelligence and human
capacity from their circumambient mire, let us re-
move from them that griming of dirt with which
they are tarnished, before we venture urn the more
elaborate task of carving or of polishing ! Let us
deprive the satirists henceforth of those scorn-
ful phrases which they have employed fox the villi-
fication of the rabble—that rabble which from ages
immemorial, from the antique days of JUVENA L, have
been stigmatised as " swinish," and which humour-
ists of this generation have variously designated the
" unwashed " and the " unsoaped !" Whether we
regard the matter in its physiological applica-
tion, in its tendency to diminish the periodical
mortality, in its power as an instrument
of demoralisation, the cleanliness of the working
classes assumes a greater importance, as a means of
benefiting both themselves and the general com-
munity, than the superficial observer would at first
be inclined to imagine. The Right Reverend
Prelate, whose exertions in this cause have
already elicited our applause, has regarded
the matter in this particular light, and
filled with an inward consciousness of the immea-
surable benefits which must result from any sys-
tematic encouragement of this love for cleanliness, he
has permitted no opportunity to escape wherein he
might aid, however slightly, in the acquisition
of such encouragement to the cause. From
thisqA considerations the petitions just laid be-
fore the House of Lords by the Bishop of LONDON,
calling upon the Legislature to sanction the morale of
this new agitation, have to us a peculiar at-
traction, while the suavity of their recep-
tion by the Peers, and the approbatory addenda
of the Marquis of NORMANDY and Lord
KINNAIRD, render the presentations of those petitions
satisfactory as well as attractive. What the peti-
tioners appear to be peculiarly desirous of obtaining
from their Lordships is simply the permission,
through a Bill, for parishes to borrow certain
moneys on the securities of the rates for the purpose
of erecting baths and wash-houses, the dimensions
of such establishments being proportionately extensive
with the census of each individual parish, or with the
peculiar destitution into which its inhabitants are
plunged. Their Lordships have, therefore, only one
circumstance to take into consideration before com-
plying with the prayer of these said petitioners, and
that circumstance is obvious enough. Not the pre-
valence of filthiness among the most poorly provided,
and the most prodigiously populated districts, espe-
cially of the metropolis and of the larger cities of
the empire—for that has already been suffi-
ciently proved I Not the anxiety for such
convenient structures which has spread through-
out these districts—for experiment has eluci-
dated the existence of this anxiety ! Not
these or a thousand other similar particulars, but
simply whether there be any stability in this phi-
lanthropic speculation. That, we take it, is the only
point of the policy of such an inova-
tion which requires the scrutiny of our
legislators before they award it their
definitive sanction ; and honestly we are certain that
such an investigation will only tend to prove that
these establishments, when once set in operation, will
support themselves—they will have the perpetuation
of their own vitality within them. Liverpool authen-
ticates this assumption, so does Glasshouse-yard; so,
also, do the 65,000 persons who have bathed in the
Serpentine alone during the past eight days. We
look for the speedy introduction, and the unanimous
acceptance, of a Bill for the Promotion of Cleanliness

been made on Saturday at the meeting which took
place at Lord JOHN Russ ELL'S. The same fatality
which has already occurred on two several occa-
sions during the first reading of the Bill, viz.,
the counting out of the House for want of the
attendance of forty Members, was barely
avoided by the hurrying in of several Members
from the library, refreshment-rooms, and other ad-
joining apartments, while the galleries were clearing
for the purpose of counting the Members present—
the same catastrophe had a second time nearly taken
place on a similar motion, which was prevented by a
like rapid entrance. A stronger proof could not have
been exhibited of the little interest felt by the
Members of the House in the arguments on
the question than the difficulty that existed of
assembling and keeping together so small
a number as that required to constitute a House,
during the discussion of a measure involving so many
serious and important considerations. In fact, the
House had already been surfeited, usque ad nauseam,
with the prolonged discussion which had heretofore
taken place, the several parties had already fully and
entirely made up their minds as to the course which
they would adopt,, and the division might have been
taken in the first instance without any difference
in the result. Lord LINCOLN made his first official
speech as Secretary for Ireland in support of the Bill.
His Lordship admitted the unconstitutional char •
of the measure, and that it could only be justified
a stern necessity, by a state of things in which life
and property could not be maintained by any enact-
ments confined within the Constitution. This is the
principle on which the argument must be based, and 1
the onus probandi rests on the Government seeking
such extraordinary powers to establish a case suffi-
ciently strong to warrant the House in for a time in-
fringing on the liberty of the subject. The Right Hon.
Secretary read a variety of details, and quoted from
the evidence taken under Lord DEvoN's Commission,
but the great majority of the cases cited had occurred
some time before, and were now decidedly too stale
for the required object, and the later ones which were
brought forward were happily not of so fearful a
character, of so harrowing a nature, as those which
had been adduced by Lord ST. GERMANS when
bringing the measure forward in the Lords, or
much as to require extraordinary means for their
suppression. It is not as a punishment for offences
that had already token place within the disturbed
districts, but as a means of prevention of future out-
rage, that the measure could be sanctioned. If there
was so great a diminution of these offences, no matter
what might be the cause which led to that happy
result, there could no longer be a necessity for an
enactment to suppress that which had no existence.
The principal interest

Lordship himself and the party
in opposing the great measures of the session. It was
not that his Lordship objected to the measure as
inimical to the liberties of the Irish nation, as
uncalled for by the circumstances of the times. The
party with which his Lordship is identified have
seldom evinced much interest for the liberties of the
Irish people, and during the former debate on the
subject, it will be remembered that he said, if the
Government delayed the Bill, even a single day,
they would be responsible for the blood of every
man murdered in Ireland. The true motive
by which he was influenced will now be ap-
parent ; he cared not how Ireland was dealt
with, if the corn-laws could still be retained,
nay, if a delay could be interposed before their final
annihilation. And having been defeated in that
object, and the fate of his darling protection virtually .
decided, he little regards the particular measure be-
fore the Rouse, or his own recorded opinions thereon, I

provided he is in any manner enabled to damage that
Government by whose exertions the monopolists have
been so signally defeated. Such a motive will not
command much respect throughout the nation, or
impress the public with a favourable opinion of the
Noble Lord's qualifications as a Miniterial leader,
should he ever, unfortunately for the country, be placed
in such a position.

Intelligence has been received in Paris from Lisbon
of the dissolution of the PALMELLA Cabinet.

Madrid papers of the 2d have been received.

The contract of the salt-springs of Spain, which is
held by M. SALAMANCA, is on the point of expiring,
and as the Duke of RIANZARES, the husband of
Queen CHRISTINA, is interested in the contract,
which is a most profitable affair, the QUEEN-MOTHER
has actively interfered to procure from the Government
a renewal of the contract. The measure, however,
being prejudicial to the interests of the country, was
firmly resisted by M. It.loN and his colleagues,
to the great chagrin of Queen CHRISTINA. This
affair, it is said, had nearly produced another Minis-
terial crisis. Don ENRIQUE was at Bayonne on the
4th of June, having postponed his journey to
Brussels.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
They confirm the intelligence of the death of the
POPE, which we announced yesterday.
" Yesterday, at six o'clock," says the Journal des
Debats, " 11. CAUCHY, Principal Registrar of the
Chamber of Peers, repaired to the prison of the Lux-
embourg, and read to LECOMTE his sentence of con-
demnation. LECOMTE listened with the most perfect
tranquillity, and at the conclusion said, 'lt is very
well; I ask but for one thing more—it is to see

immediately. When the chaplain retired, it became
the duty of the officers of the prison, according to the
regulations, to confine LECOMTE in a straight waist-
coat. He willingly submitted to the regulation. He
never broke silence, except to express his desire to be
revisited by the chaplain. This morning LECOMTE
was again visited by M. L'Abbe GRIVEL and M.
DUVERGIER. In the afternoon he addressed a petition
to the KING for pardon, in which he expresses the
greatest contrition for his crime. The number of
Peers who voted was 232. It is said that 196 voted
for his condemnation to the punishment of a parricide,
33 for death merely, and three for perpetual imprison-
ment." The Ministers were to deliberate on his case on
Sunday. " The general opinion is," says the Presse,
" that the punishment will be commuted to banish-
ment for life."

Lord COWLEY, the English Ambassador, left Paris
for London on Sunday.
According to the Constitutionnel, 800 marines are
about to be sent to Otaheite and the Marquesas to
recruit the garrisons of those establishments. The
regiment of artillery, several detachments of which
are now La Oceania, will also furnish a new contin-
gent. The troops forming the garrisons of those
islands have been absent three years from France.
The Lord Provost of Glasgow had the honour of
dining with his Majesty the KING of the FRENCH on
Thursday at Neuilly. His Lordship personally pre-

ARRIVAL OF THE ARCHDUKE
CONSTANTINE OF RUSSIA.

(From the Morning Post.)
A telegraphic communication has just been received at the
Admiralty from Gesport, announcing the arrival of the Rus-
sian ship of war, the Fugermannland, having on board his
Imperial Highness the Archduke Constantine of Russia.

At the moment the information was dispatched, the
Fugermannland was beating towards, and would soon come
to an anchor at Spithead.

A communication to the above effect was instantly for-
warded to his Excellency Baron Brunnow, at the Russian
Legation.

His Excellency left town for Gosport immediately to at-
tend upon the Grand Duke.

We trust that the present, interesting condition of her
Majesty, which may probably occasion a few days' delay in
the reception of the illustrious. traveller, will not have the
effect of preventing hiS Imperial Highness from honouring
the metropolis with a visit, especiaily at the present moment,
when the Prince ofEgypt is the 21.cknoured guest of the
country.

ARRIVAL OF IBRA HIM PACHA.
Oa Monday, before noon, Ibrahim Pacha, and the distin-
guished personages in his retinue, arLived in London from
Portsmouth. -
The arrival of was somewhat later, than was
originally contemplated ; fo'?' if, iwas settled on Sunday that
the Pacha and suite would leave punctually at eight o'clock ;
een circumstances, his departure from the

not take place until after nine o'clock.
t the Vauxhall terminus had every
preparation mat reception of the Pacha and suite.
The platform was co with crimson baize, and that por-
tion of the way kept clear from intrusion from the select
assemblage of spectators who had congregated from anxiety
to gal* a glimpse of the Egyptian hero.
The train arrived precisely at half-past eleven, having
completed the distance from Gosport in two hours and ten
minutes. In the same carriage with his Highness were
Soliman Pacha, General Ibrahim Bey, and Captain Mus-
tapha Effendi, aides-de-camp to his llighnees ; and Major
C. Dickson. In addition to the above, Col..nel Boufort, M.
Cabaret Effendi, and M. Noubert, the two latter secretary
and interpreter to his Highness ; Mr. E. Zohrab, the Turkish
consul-general; Mr. Briggs, &c.
The Earl of Morley, deputy chairman of the company,
Colonel Henderson, Mr. Townsend, Mr. Hibbert, and Mr.
Smith, directors of the Company, were in waiting at the ter-
minus to receive his Highness, who almost immediately he
left the train entered his carriage.
The Paths and Soliman Pacha, M. Cabaret, Effendi, and
Major Dickson then departed in an open carriage for Mivart's
Hotel. two other carriages conveying the remainder of his
Highness's suite to their destination.
In anticipation of the Pacha's early arrival, a large crowd
had collected in front of Mivart's Hotel, in Lower Brook-
street, but from the exertions of the police, not the least ob-
struction occurred.

Shortly after the Pacha and attendants had arrived, they
partook of a sumptuous dejeuner, after which his Highness
retired to enjoy a brief repose, agreeable to the custom of his
country.
The Earl of Aberdeen, Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, came about half-past two o'clock, and was conducted
to the presence of the Pacha, with whom the Noble Earl had
a lengthened interview.
Colonel Campbell, formerly British Consul resident at
Alexandria, was honoured with an audience.
Edib Effendi, the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires, was subse-
quently closeted with his Highness for nearly two hours.
His Excellency Sidi Ahmed, the Envoy Extraordinary
from his Highness the Pacha of Tunis, and the members of
his suite, were introduced to his Highness.
InThese were the only visitors received by the Pacha on
Monday, the introductions being in the state drawing-room of
the hotel.

acquaintance with the ancient and modern languages of the
East. His reputation for piety and learning soon spread
beyond the bounds of his cloister, and the general esteem
