PUBLIC HEALTH BILL.

Viscount MORPETH moved that this Bill be read a
third time, which was agreed to.
Mr. HENLEY moved the following clause to be added
as a rider to the Bill :--" And be it enacted, that if it
sh:111 appear to a majority of not less than threo•tifths
of the rated inhabitants of any parish or place co ntain-
ing less than two thousand inhabitants on the then last
census, in which this Act shall not be in force, assembled
at a public meeting to be called as hereinafter provided,
that it would contribute to the health and conve-
nience of the inhabitants generally that a public
drain or sewer should be made, or a well dug, or a
pump provided, for the public use of the inha-
bitants, it shall be lawful for the church-•
wardens and overseers to have an estimate of the cost of
making such drain, or digging such well, or providing
such pump, made, and to lay the same before another
public meeting to be called as is hereinafter provided ;
and if the same shall be approved and sanctioned by a
majority of not less than three• fifths of the meeting, it
shall be lawful for the churchwardens and overseers to
have the same, or any part thereof, sanctioned as afore-
said, executed, and to pay the costs thereof out of the
poor rates of the parish or place, provided always that
notice of any such meeting shall be given by the church-
wardens and overseers, as is by this Act provided to be
given of meetings to be holden by the superintending in-
spectors ; and the notice shall also contain a statement
of the work proposed or intended to be submitted for
the consideration and approval of the meeting.
Viscount MORPETH thought the clause would im-
pede the action of the Bill, but should not for that rea-
son object to its insertion.
Colonel SIBTHORP moved that the House do now
adjourn.
Viscount MORPETH hoped the Hon. and Gallant
Member would not persist in his motion.
Mr. URQUHART hoped that the Hon. and Gallant
Member would persist in his motion.
Mr. HUDSON hoped his Hon. and Gallant Friend
would not persist in his motion, but that he would per-
mit the measure to proceed, as it had been fully and
fairly discussed.
The clause was agreed to and added to the Bill, and
the Bill was passed.
The House adjourned at Twenty minutes to One.

THE WATERLOO BANQUET.
havin
The anniversary of the battle of Waterloo g
this year occurred on a Sunday, the customary. banquet
given by the Duke of Wellington to the officers who

other officers WhO served under his Grace; the Mar-
chioness Cornwallis, Viscountess Beresford, the Marquis

invited to the entertainment began to assemble; his Ex-
cellency Count lmansegge, Lord Saltoun
Hardinge, Sir Edward Kerrison, and Sir An, Viscount
Andrew nard being among the early arrivals.
Bar-
In the inner hall, immediately communicating with
the grand staircase, was stationed the full band of the
Grenadier Guards (the Duke's regiment) which, during
the arrival of the guests, played a variety of marches
and martial airs.
The Marquis of Anglesey, on being recognised by the
crowd, was loudly cheered, as also was *Viscount .Elar-
dinge.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert,rettended by Major.
General Bowles, Colonel E. Bouverie, and Colonel E. P.
Buckley, arrived at ten minutes after 7 o'clock. The
Prince was warmly greeted by the populace without, and
on alighting was welcomed by the Duke of Wellington,
by whom the Prince was conducted to the saloon in
which the majority of the Waterloo heroes had mustered.
The Prince Consort, on his arrival, was saluted by the
band playing the National Anthem.

Pluictaall3; at half-past seven the banquet was an-
nounces in the Waterloo-gallery, when the Prince Con-
sort and the illustrious host, followed by Prince Castel-
cicala, the Count Kielmansegge, the Marquis of Angle-
sey, and the remainder of the guests, passed into the
ban q ueting-room.
Tae Prince wore the uniform of Colonel of the Scots
Fusilier Guards; the Duke of Wellington, that of a
Field-,Marshal, with the riband of the Order of the Bath;

Horse Guards (Blue), as Colonel of that Regiment.

Marquis of Anglesey; and on his left, his Excellency
Prince Castelcicala and his Excellency Count Eielman-
segge.

The table presented a gorgeous display of valuable
plate, the celebrated Portuguese plateau occupying the
centre. Ranged along the table were immense china
vases, gifts from the Emperor of Russia and King of i
Prussia, filled with the choicest flowers, and the whole of
the fruit-dishes and ornaments were of solid gold. The
dessert service was the celebrated set of Dresden china,
a present from the King of Saxony. At the north
end of the gallery, the sideboard exhibited a varied
collection of gold% plate, amid which was Pitt man's
shield, emblematic of the Duke's victories, the whole
being lighted from the superb candelabra presented to
his Grace from the citizens of London. The arrange-
ments were, in fact, with trifling difference, the same as
noticed on previous years.

' The illustrious DUcKE said, he experienced 4,,,Tcat plea-
sure in seeing again among them a Nolile'Friend who
had on many occasions eminently distinguished Limself
in the field, and what gave him more gratification was,
that he had returned to this country in .unimpaired
health. That gallant officer had been called &on to gos:mg
to a distant] country to administer its governThent, ant
in his military rank bad assisted Lord Gough. He (the
Duke) need not speak of his exertions during the trying
scenes he took part in, for it was well known he had re-
turned to his native country to receive the approbation
of hisliovereign, and the admiration of his countrymen,
from 'whom he had obtained the highest honours that
could be bestowed. He would give " The health of
Viscount Hardinge."
Lieutenant-General Viscount HARDINGE expressed
his sincere thanks to the Duke and his brother compa-
nions in arms for the manner in which they had received
the toast. As for the civil position he held in India, he
felt proud of it, but as to his military services with the
army of the Sutlej, he was confident that the brave army
under their gallant and intrepid commander, Lord
Gough, had done only that which might be expected
from the example set them by the army which fought
under their illustrious chief. He was sure nothing
could be more gratifying to the Indian army than the
repeated expressions of praise uttered by the Duke and
the country generally.
The DUKE then said, the nex toast he would submit
was " The Hanoverian Army that fought at Waterloo,"
and he would call on Count Kielmansegge.
His Excellency Count KIELMANSEGGE said he was
proud to be again present at the festival, to meet his
comrades in arms in that glorious battle, the success of
which had given them thirty years of peace. To the
gallantry of the troops and the leadership of the illus-
trious Duke they were indebted for that blessing. He
thought the King's Germans, as they were then
called, did their duty. Germany had been in a con-
vulsed state to obtain a change of constitution, and he
trusted by the blessing of Providence it would secure
those lasting institutions which had rendered the British
empire pre-eminent among all other nations. England
had withstood the storm, and he believed it was owing
to the loyalty and practical science of the people, and
the devotion of the army, at the head of which was the
Noble Duke, that the country continued to retain those
great blessings. He was deeply obliged, on behalf of
the Hanoverian army, for the favourable notice of the
Duke.

The DUKE then gave " The Sovereign Allies of Eng-
land at the Battle of Waterloo," to which be coupled the
name of Prince Castelcicala.

His Excellency Prince CASTELCICAIA returned thanks
in a brief address.

The DUKE said he was glad to see a gallant officer who
had been absent on the last anniveitsary, but who had
rendered great services to his country. lie would give
" The health of Sir Frederick Adam."

Lieutenant-General the Right Hon. Sir F. ADAM, re-
turned thanks in a short speech. •

The DUKE now rose and expressed his pleasure in
giving " The health of General Sir James Maedonnell,
Lord Saltoun, and the officers present who so gallantly
acted at the farmhouse of Hougoumont."
Lieutenant-General Sir A. WOODFORD replied.
The DUKE said, he had another toast to offer; they
all were aware that nothing was more important than
to have active, zealous, and experienced officers on a
staff, and it was never more clearly illustrated than at
Waterloo; those officers had nobly done their duty, and
he would therefore give " The Officers on the Staff at
Waterloo, and the Earl Cathcart."
Lieutenant-General the Earl CATHCART replied in a
few observations.

It being then half-past ten the Noble Duke vacated
his chair, a signal which the Prince Consort and the
gallant guests promptly followed.
The Prince and company retired to the saloon.
At a quarter to eleven his Royal Highness Prince
Albert departed, and the company then broke up.
