Motion made, and Question proposed, " That Mr. Speaker do
now leave the Chair :"—Amendment proposed, to leave out from
the word " That" to the end of the Question, in order to add the
words, " in the opinion of this House, and according to the cor-
resr.ondence laid before it, relative to the proceedings in the Island
of Malta during the Carnival Holidays in February last, the conduct
of the Governor, and of the Magistrates acting under his orders, in
the interference with the long-existing usages of the inhabitants of
that island, amount to an infraction of the rights and privileges gua-
ranteed to the Maltese by the capitulation under which they originally
became British subjects, and are also contrary to the true principles
of civil and religious liberty," instead thereof :.---Question put, " That
the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question." The
House divided :

THE BATHS AND WASIIHOUSES IN THE HAMPSTEAD-
ROAD.—Th e " North-West District Baths and Wash-
houses for the Labouring Classes," which have lately been
erected at the base of the Reservoir, in the Hampstead-
road, were yesterday opened to the public. They were
opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, and were full from that
time till 9at night, when they were closed. A crowd of men
and boys were in waiting the whole of 'the day at the men's
entrance in George-street, it being found impossible to give
them all accommodation as they arrived. Upwards of 600
persons had use of the men's baths. The women's baths and
washhouses were also filled, but not to the same extent as
the men's baths. The plunging baths would have been in
use but for a leakage, which was not discovered in time to be
repaired. They will be in use as soon as they can be re-
p iired. The baths were opened this morning at 5 o'clock,
and from that time up to the time our informant left the
spot they were crowded, and a number of persons remained
outside, waiting till room should be made for them. The
washhouses were also in full operation. It was necessary
yesterday, in order to accommodate the crowds that at-
tended, to use some of the second-class baths as third-class.
MIDDLE-ROW, Homionx.—Several correspondents
have addressed letters to U 3 on the very bad condition of all
the houses of Middle-row, as well as of the two that fell down
the night before last. They state that for a considerable
period it has been expected that all Middle-row would be
pulled down, as it stands much in the way, and that conse-
quently needful repairs have not been executed. The two
houses fell from decay, and the other houses, we are told,
are likely soon to follow. Our correspondents complain
much of the improvement commissioners for not having
bef ,re now purchased and removed the whole unsightly row.
EAST LONDON WATERWORKS COMPANY.—The
Directors of this Company have given orders to allow water
from their pipes to flow for the present through close and
confined alleys and courts, for the purpose of cleansing them,
between the hours of eleven P.M. and four A.M., and have,
through their secretary, informed the parish authorities of
Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Norton Folgate, Mile.eud Old
Town, St. George in the East, Limehouse, Wapping. Mile-
end New Town, Ratcliffe, Shadwell, Poplar, Hackney, Bow,
Bromley, Bethnal-green, and Shoreditch, of this arrange-
ment, stating at the same time that the Company's officers
have been instructed to afford all practicable facilities in
furtherance of the object in view—promoting cleanliness, and
assisting to prevent disease. This arrangement has been
made without any application having been addressed to the
Board on the subject, and affords an example which we trust
will be followed by all the other great metropolitan companies.
