tion of several Hon. Members, withdrew his amendment.
Mr. MOFFATT moved that the Bill be read a second
time that day six months. He did not consider the
measure likely to remedy the abuses of the present
system.
Sir B. HALL and Mr. W. WILLIAMS both denounced
the Bill as creating a gigantic monopoly.
Sir G. GREY hoped the Bill would be suffored to pro-
ceed to a second reading. If it were read a ,second time
he should propose that the Bill be referred tc, the Com-
mittee of Selection to be dealt withjudicially.
The second reading was opposed by Mr. MOWATT,
Viscount EBRINGTON, Mr. WAKLEY, and Sir D. L.
EVANS, and supported by Sir W. CLAY.

Mr. T. BARING moved a resolution, " Thnt it is the
opinion of this House that the directions of the Lords
Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to the officers
of the Excise, signified by orders of the 6th and 25th
That no objection he made on
the revenue to dealers in and sellers of
Athuegpua s tr, t 108 f-to t, npay,
coffee mixing chicory with coffee,' are opposed to the
Excise regulations in force regarding other articles of
consumption, have encouraged very much the practice
of fraud, and ought therefore to be revoked."
Sir J. TROLLOPE, as the representative of the chicory
growers in Lincolnshire, opposed the motion.
Lord HARRY VANE said the motion would not inter-
fere with the interests of the chicory growers. All it
required was, that chicory should be sold by its right
name.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER praised the
wholesomeness of chicory and the mixed beverage. All
that was done by the Treasury order was not to sane-
tion at fraud on the public, but to exempt the dealer
from the Excise penalty to which he would otherwise be
liable.
Mr. STANLEY contended that the same principle
should be applied to coffee that was applied to tea and
tobacco.
Colonel Tuoupsori said the difference in price be-
ween the ground and the unground coffee sufficiently
pointed out the adulteration of the former.
Sir J. TYRELL was a grower of chicory, and should
therefore most certainly on this occasion support the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
Mr. WARLEY said that the continued use of chicory
was most deleterious, and occasioned a variety of dis-
eases. The conduct of the Government was an encou-
ragement to the disreputable and an annoyance to the
honest dealer. He should support the motion.
After some further discussion the House divided,when
,here appeared—

conceive how any persons who have read those con-
vincing articles should hesitate as to the necessity of
some immediate steps being taken to abate
the nuisance. Our sagacious Minister of
Finance has, however, a peculiar obliquity
of vision in such matters; he has taken the frau-
dulent dealers under his especial protection, and will
not suffer any interference with their innocent
pursuits. In his view, the public should submit
to be shorn without complaint. Accordingly, he
resisted to the uttermost the motion of the Hon.
Gentleman the Member for Huntingdon for the re-
consideration of the Treasury minute of August,
1840, and, we regret to say, succeeded by a majority
of five in his opposition thereto. The community
in general and the fair traders must, therefore, submit
to the grievance until next session, but there
can be but little doubt that the voice of public opinion
will be heard in the interim, and that the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for 1851 (whoever he
may be) must make up his mind to yield to the pres-
sure from without, and to restrain those who claim
the liberty of defrauding their neighbours and cus-
tomers by the sale of deleterious and inferior articles.

Apparently the slender majority of sixteen by,
which the Metropolitan 'Water Supply Bill was en-
abled to pass a second reading yesterday, is a
matter for very general satisfaction. In reality, how-
ever, we regret to find reasons for designating this
seeming advantage a circumstance more strictly pro-
vocative of regrets than of gratulations. A refer-
ence to the arguments employed last evening by
almost every Member who took part in the discus-
sion will afford some notion of the considerations
which have reluctantly brought us, in common
with so many other observers, to this most
unsatisfactory conclusion. Like the Hon. Gentleman
the Representative of Penryn, we felt predisposed to
accord in the first instance every encouragement to
a measure of this character, introduced to the notice
of the Legislature under the auspices of her MA.
JESTY'S Government. A cursory inquiry, neverthe.
less, into the precise tendency of the scheme brought
forward by the Administration was more than suffi-
cient to dissipate our enthusiasm, transforming it in-
deed into a very earnest anxiety to witness its rejec-
tion. Unfortunately our wishes in this respect
have not as yet been realized. Two stages
have been passed through, certainly with some
little difficulty, but still they have been
passed through in spite of every opposition. Very
shortly, therefore, the Commons will have to scruti-
nize the measure more closely, clause by clause, in
Committee. Then, at any rate, we are sanguine that
the evil of the proposed alteration will be so pecu-
liarly perceptible to the majority, that the commu-
nity may be in no fear of being afflicted by its ac-
ceptance. As the Honourable Member for Lambeth
facetiously, and, at the same time, correctly remarked,
the measure, instead of being called, as it is, " A Bill
for the better Supplying of Water to the Metropolis,"
should with more justice have been designated " A
Bill for the purpose of establishing a huge job, to
perpetuate a deficient supply of impure water to the
metropolis, under the patronage of her MAJESTY'S
Government." Literally, to all intents and pur-
poses, that is the actual meaning of the project un-
dertaken by the Ministry, with a view to compact
into one gigantic monopoly the various companies
now existing, to the end that we may have what
may be termed the same faulty system as
ever of metropolitan irrigation. Hitherto, even
with the benefits of a certain degree of competition,
the public generally speaking in London and West-
minster have had to slake their thirst at streams ren-
dered loathsome, if not absolutely poisonous, by every
imaginable pollution. And yet this very insufficient
protection of competition the Cabinet would now de-
liberately deprive us of, under the pretext of furnish-
ing the capital with larger quantities of water, more
pure and salubrious, than have hitherto been con-
veyed .to • the dwellings of the mass of the
population. Against these specious pretences
almost every Member who has yet spoken upon the
subject in the House of Commons has most strongly
and energetically protested. Yesterday, especially,
the Government scheme may be said to have found a
supporter only in the Honourable Baronet the Mem-
ber for the Tower Hamlets. Even his approbation,
however, of the measure, is inadequate as an assur-
ance of its innocuous, not to say its beneficial character.
It would be erroneous to imagine fur an instant
that by rejecting the Bill now alluded, to the Com-
mons would in any way be procrastinating the
reform so long and earnestly demanded. On the
contrary, we are satisfied that by at once throwing
out the measure the metropolitan representatives
would be in the most effectual and satisfactory man-
ner promoting the interest of the inhabitants of the
capital, and forwarding their hopes to a realization.
Let the proposals suggested by the Administration be
carried into effect, and this section of the already
complicated question of sanitary reform will be sur-
rounded more than ever by difficulties, many of which
would prove for a considerable period insurmountable.
It is, therefore, with no ordinary emphasis that we call
upon the mass of the metropolitan representatives to
strain their energies to the very uttermost in endea-
vouring to throw out the Bill in Committee. Unless
they effect this betimes, they will find labours of a
yet more arduous kind devolving upon them later
on, labours forced upon them yet more strongly by an
accumulation of responsibilities. Hence, we repeat,

The House then adjourned.

We are no friends to the Excise system. We
would gladly see it abolished root and branch, so
that no vestige might remain of the monster nuisance
that has so long paralysed the energies of the people,
and obstructed—if it did not prohibit—improvements
of every description. It possessed, however, some
redeeming features. Although the beneficial regu-
lations bore an infinitesimal proportion to those of
an opposite character, and were overwhelmed by the
mass of evil by which they were surrounded,
they yet accomplished some good for the community.
These rules were framed fur the purpose of pro.
tecting the revenue ; but they had the effect of pro-
tecting the public, also, from frauds of a very serious
description. In order to insure the collection of the
full duty on each article, measures were introduced
prohibiting with the utmost severity any adulteration
or fraudulent admixture. Not only was the actual
adulteration of the article subjected to stringent pe-
nalties, but even the possession, by licensed dealers,
of matters that might be used for the purpose, was
made a grave offence. The ordinary rules of law were
deliberately set aside, and every presumption made
against the accused, so that it was almost impossible to
obtain an,,acquittal if there was even a possibility of
guilt. The enormous duties imposed under our fiscal
code, quadrupling, or in many instances more than
quadrupling the prices, and thus exposing the dealera
to almost irresistible temptations, these penal, and in
some respects highly vexatious enactments were
framed, as we have already stated, for the purpose of
protecting the revenue, but they had also the effect of
protecting the fair dealer from being under-
sold by fraudulent competitors, and the public
from being injured by deleterious compounds, and
also to a certain extent afforded security that the
purchaser obtained the article for which he contracted
and which he believed he was buying.
It would almost appear, however, as if the Lords
of the Treasury were anxious to increase the public
disgust to the utmost degree by removing the only
defensible regulations, so as to leave the evils of the
system without mitigation. Under the encien regime
it was considered essential to guard against any aduls
teration of coffee, which, as an article of general con-
sumption, heavily taxed, might otherwise be mixed with
various ingredients of an inferior kind. At first the sale
or even possession of matters such as roasted corn,
peas, beans, parsnips, &c.,,that might be mixed with,
or used as substitutes for coffee, were prohibited under
very heavy penalties. After a time persons not being
dealers were permitted to take out a licence for the
sale of such articles under their real names, it being
very properly considered, that if the people chose to
use such decoctions with their eyes open—they not
being absolutely injurious to health—they should be
permitted to do so. Every precaution was, however,
still taken to prevent imposition or deception.
About twenty years since chicory, which had for
some time previously been used on the continent
along with coffee, was introduced into this country,
and there is no doubt that the inferior descriptions of
coffee were improved by the addition of a small por-
tion of pure chicory. The Excise Commissioners,
however, wholly disregarded the public interest. The
salubrity or agreeability of the mixture was a matter
of the most perfect indifference ; their only object
was to extract the largest possible amount from the
pockets of the people. Prosecutions were
accordingly instituted against many coffee
dealers for having chicory in their possession ;
but these were stopped by a Treasury minute, in
August, 1832, declaring " that the sale of chicory
powder UNMIXED should not be interfered with,"
but that the sellers of coffee should be informed
that " they must abide the consequences, if they
should continue to sell coffee mixed with any other
ingredient, contrary to law." This was a wise and
judicious course. Those who preferred the admix-
ture of chicory might obtain it, and choose
their own proportions. They could also have
the compound at a much cheaper rate
than if they purchased it under the name
of "coffee," and they had some security that the
separate ingredients, viz., the coffee and the chicory,
were each what they purported to be, as any adulte-
ration might still be severely punished, and things
should be sold by their right names. Nothing could
have worked better than this regulation during the
eight years it was permitted to remain in operation.
But
August,
1840, saw another alteration---" My
Lords not considering that any measures should be
enforced to
prevent the sale of coffee mixed with
chicory," and it being accordingly ordered, that " no
objections be made on the part of the revenue to
dealers in and
coffee, or to their having
seller of coffee, mixing chicory with
the same mixed on their 1

this
carried

matter
of
fied on to such an occasioned by
adulteration of coffee was
ex-

the greatest difficulty
to obtain coffee in a pure state, unless it w

it behoves them to strive forthwith to reject at this
early period what they mast by necessity reject fur-
ther on, or, after a lamentable evidence of its injurious
character, have rather ignominiously to recall as an
act of ill-timed and ill-considered legislation.
Lord ERRINGTON himself acknowledged last even-
ing that it would have been better for the interests of
the metropolis if the Government had made more
sedulous inquiries into the evils complained of before
adventuring upon their treatment. Lord EBRINGTON,
be it remembered, was the one to make this
avowal, and Lord EBRINGTON is qualified surely to
pronounce an opinion upon the subject by his long
continuance at the head of the Sanitary Commission.
Curiously enough all parties seem to coincide in op-
posing the water supply project, as it has been laid
before Parliament by her MAJESTY'S Government.
The companies are dissatisfied with it, the public
generally are dissatisfied with it, the Sanitary
Commissioners are dissatisfied with it, every-
where the measure meets with a stern
and uncompromising opposition. Nevertheless,
it has hitherto progressed in defiance of all this, having
passed, not without difficulty, through the two first
readings. We anticipate, however, with some soli-
citude, and not altogether without confidence, its
tardy but still decided rejection when it comes be
fore the Commons in Committee.

SUSSEX COUNTY HOSPITAL,
BRIGHTON.

On Wednesday a Special General Court of Governors of the
Sussex County Hospital was held in the Board-room of the
Institution, for the purpose of taking into consideration a
report from a Committee of Governors appointed to consider
what alterations and additions to the present Hospital would
be requisite to meet the increased, and still increasing, de-
mands upon the charity, and to obtain the consent of the
court, for making such alterations and additions as were de-
scribed in plans produced. The Rev. S. R. Drummond was
in the chair.

The minutes of previous meetings of the Governors,
authorising the above desirable step, having been read,
The CHAIRMAN read a ascription of the proposed new
building, drawn up by ME Herbert Williams, of Great
Ormond-street, London, the architect, from which it appeared
that it is proposed to remove the present fever wards, and to
clear away so much of the embankment at the back of the
ground as will admit of a considerable free space round the
new building on a level with the basement or kitchen floor
of the main buildings. The character of the building, both
externally and internally, will correspond with the old build-
ing. The report then goes on to describe the approaches,
and the appropriation of the several stories, and various
other minor matters in detail. The plan was spoken of in
high terms of commendation by the Governors, and resolu-
tions to carry the same into effect were unanimously passed.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE SHARE MARKETS

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The gauntlet thrown down by the PRESIDENT to
the Assembly has been taken up by General CHAN-
GARNIER. In the course of the discussion on Tues-
day, on the Republican Guard, CHANGARNIER made
the following pointed allusions to recent events.
He said—
"Aceording to the assertions of certain persons, the
army is ready in its enthusiasm to act against the laws
of the country and to change the form of government.
In the first place, and to show that such cannot be the
case, it is sufficient for me to ask where is there any mo-
tive for such enthusiasm?—(Laughter on the Left.) I
may add that the army, profoundly penetrated with the
sentiment of its duty, with the feeling of what is due to
its own dignity, desires no more than you to inflict on
France the wretchedness and shame of the government
of the Caesars, when emperors were successively raised
to power or hurled to the earth by drunken PraetorianGuards.—(Great agitation.) Discipline is deeply rooted
in the French army. The soldiers will always hear the
voice of their chiefs; but no one will over induce the
soldiers to march against the Right—against the As-
sembly; not a single battalion could be induced to follow
for such a purpose, whoever might be the officers whom
they are accustomed to obey. Consequently, represen-
tatives of France, deliberate in pence!—(Agitation.)"
The members of the different Bourbonists factions
are loud in their praises of this outbreak of CHAN-
GARNIER. M. LEON FA.UCHER has, however, com-
pletely lost their confidence, because he did not re-
sign immediately after the PRESIDENT'S speech at
Dijon.
On Wednesday the Assembly commenced its sit
ting by proceeding to ballot for the election of
e votersf ol following s

In consequence, M. BAZE and General LEFLO,
having obtained the required majority, were declared
to be duly elected.
Both M. BAZE and General LEFLO are distin-
guished for their bitter hostility to the Elysee. On
a second ballot M. DE PANAT was re-elected third
Questor.
" Two days ago," says the Droit, " the com-
mander of the fort of Vincennes received by post a
letter from the Intendant of the First. Military Di-
vision, ordering him to send fifty thousand ball car-
tridges to the Palace of the Elys6e. This order
greatly surprised the commander, as he could not
understand what could require it ; and he was more
surprised that it should have been sent by post, in-
stead of by an orderly. But after closely examining
the signature and the seal, he could not doubt that
it was really sent from the bureau of the Intend-
ance. Before executing it, however, he went to
the Intendant, and showed him it. That func•
tionary also recognised the signature and seal as
his ; but he declared that he had not given the
order, and that it must have been obtained by
fraud. An investigation into the affair has been com-
menced."

M. LARABIT on Wednesday presented the fol-
lowing proposition to the National Assembly :
" Ist. That the Assembly shall express a wish for the
revision of Article 45 of the Constitution as far as re-
gards the re-eligibility of the President of the Republic.
2. That such revision shall not be deferred to a new
Constituent Assembly, but be referred to the sovereignty
of the French people, called to freely vote at the election
of the President of the Republic. 3. Ths.t to this effect
a proclamation of the Assembly shall inform the French
people that to it alone in virtue of its sovereignty be-
longs the right of declaring by its vote whether it will
or will not re-elect the same President of the Republic."
The Algiers journals of the 29. th ult. contain ac-
counts of some new affairs between the French army
of expedition in Lesser Kabylia and the Kabyles,
but they are of very small importance as compared
with those up to the 21st ult., and cif which full
details have been published. In the last affairs,
which were perfectly successful against the enemy,
the French had only one killed and fourteen
wounded.

The Museum of the Louvre, which had been for
some time closed in order to afford an opportunity
for the execution of some necessary repairs, was yes-
terday opened with great ceremony by the PRESIDENT
of the Republic.
About 12 o'clock on Tuesday last a dreadful hur-
ricane fell in the department of the Cote d'Or, be-
tween Dijon and Chagny. The whole of that highly
cultivated district was covered with hail in the twink-
ling of an eye. Torrents of rain fell towards 3
o'clock, and caused such floods that a portion of the
Paris and Lyons Railroad was damaged. to the extent
of some leagues. The gravel was carried off the
road, the sleepers were laid bare, and two trains, one
from Paris and the other from Chalons, experienced
a serious delay.

There was- very little business tran,sacted at the
Bourse yesterday. The Five per Cents, opened at

GERMANY.
The Silesian Gazette gives the following report of
the conferences of Warsaw :
" The principal object of the interview, esti far as it ap-
plied to politics, appears to have had no other object than
of agreeing upon the ultimate steps to be taken in re-
gard to the approaching crisis in France, for it is not
doubted that such will boxier or later break, out. It was
therefore most important to be agreed upon this eventu-
ality. There was no intention of making any stipula-
tions on this head, nor of concluding any ;kind of coali-
tion treaty, nor was there any question of intervention,
which in fact would only be detrimental to the Conser-
vative interest, resulting from the natural development
of the crisis in France; but it was deemed. advisable to
be perfectly agreed upon the general definiti ye points of
view, in regard to this crisis. It is stated tt at the high
parties were perfectly of accord, and that no serious diffi-
culty will be found in acting in common.
"As to the affairs of Germany it has bean decided
to renew the union between Austria and Prussia in
all that relates to the German Confedersition, for the
purpose of maintaining this union intact. Other ques-
tions which could not be settled at Warsaw are still kept
in reserve."

ness two autograph letters, couched in the mos t energetic
terms, from the President and from the Poi )e. M. de
Titow, the Russian Ambassador, has delis, ered to the
Ottoman Porte a memorandum, which very rei ueh resem-
bles a formal protest; in which he adds tl le following
reasons to those which have been already advanced in
favour of the rights of Russia over the ;epulchre:-
1. About fifty years since a quarrel broke out
between the Greeks and the Armenians, on the subject
of the Holy Sepulchre. A commission, fthlrmed of 3
Ulemas, 2 Greek, and 2 Armenian bishops, terminated
the quarrel, by deciding that it belonged to tl to Greeks.
There were then at Constantinople a French Ambassa-
dor, Catholic bishops, and a legate of the Poi to, but no
objection was made by them. 2. Some years a ince, after
the burning of the Temple, the Greeks and Re ssia made
collections for its reconstruction. It was dons and no
Catholic power protested or pretended that tl to Greeks
had built on ground which did not belong to them. 3.
France pretends that tbe Holy Sepulchre was ti iken from
the Turks by the Crusaders and incorporated b 'y treaties
with Catholic Christianity. The Holy Sepult lhre had,
however, belonged to the Greeks before the urks and
the Moors had possession of it. M. de Laval z tte is also
charged to treat on the subject of Abd-el-Kad Ler."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'OCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 800 American were taken
for export and 1,000 on speculation. The sales com-
prised 5,500 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham at
61d. to 7d., 100 Bahia at qd. to 68d., 200 Egyptian at
Gil to 7d., and 1,000 Surat at 3d. to 4id. per lb. The
market was at previous rates.—Railway Shares were firm
and steady at improved prices.
For most articles of consumption the demand this
week has been moderate, and the supply being large,
prices have ruled in favour of buyers. It may be
affirmed, indeed, that for the last three weeks, dulness
has been the characteristic, owing to importers having
supplied the markets freely. Business, however, must
be considered to be in a healthy state, dull as is specu-
lation, and stocks are kept down to a low point among
the dealers. The value of dyes and dyeing materials
has, of late, been depressed.
Respecting the Tallow trade, Messrs. Gull and Wilson
report, that seldom has a season dawned with more im-
portant interests at stoke, and more open contracts to be
settled. Both in this market and in St. Petersburgh
there have already been sold (oversold) more than the
whole supply of New Y.C. that the St. Petersburgh
market can send us this season. The arrangement of
these contracts is. therefore, an object of much interest
to the trade in general. The prospective supply of Tal-
low for the year is much short of the supply of many
past years; and although the stock in London is larger
by 10,718 casks than the stock of 1850, yet the actual
stock, of foreign in the United Kingdom is much less
than at this date last year. Our supplies for the past
twelve months have much increased from Australia; and
it is important to observe, that by the accounts recently
received there is reason to believe that the supplies from
thence will, for the next Biz or eight months, fall con-
siderably short of last year. Another important item is
the difference in the supply, stock, and price of Lard, as
compared with this time last year. The chief item in
this calculation is the make of Home Tallow. This, it
must be admitted, is large—quite equal to, if not ex-
ceeding, the supply of lest year; but there is an impor-
tant difference in the stock, which last year was large,
and many hundred tons were bought and held by the
buyers until the autumn.
Great complaints are made of the adulteration of
Cochineal, and one is at a loss to knew where a genuine
article of any kind can be purchased. There are, un-
doubtedly, numbers of honest dealers, but the imperfect
administration of the law affords the dishonest great fa-
cilities to rob the public, and injuriously compete with
the fair trader. An analytical chemist having been em-
ployed to compare two genuine and two adulterated spe-
cimens of cochineal, the ingredients were at once disco-
vered, and we are told that, " from this examination, it
is evident that samples No. 2 and No. 4 are adulterated
to the extent of between 9 and 10 per cent., with silica
(earth of flints), alumin (earth of clay), which, although
not injurious to the colouring matter of the cochineal, yet
in a given quantity reduces its value to that extent. It
has already destroyed the Levant trade, which is sup-
plied entirely by middlemen and manufacturers, the
merchant exporting the genuine article being quite un-
able to compete with persons who can sell silica and
alumin at the same rate as cochineal, with the addi-
tional advantage that damaged and inferior (genuine
cochineal being adulterated) has a better appearance
than the genuine article of a superior quality. The evil
consequences of these dishonest practices cannot be
better exemplified than in the fact that Bordeaux,
which was once the great depot for this article of com-
merce, has entirely lost the trade, and entirely owing
to the loss of character by extensive adulteration. As
regards the home consumer, he can effectually guard
against this species of knavery by having his cochineal
direct from the docks; but even this is a grievance, as
few consumers can take off a sufficient quantity to be
enabled to buy through the brokers. He must necessa-
rily buy from the dealer, who can adulterate or not, as
his conscience and character allow him."

ELSINORE, JUNE L—The steam ship Hertha brought
over this evening a portion of the passengers, and
some goods, mostly indigo, from the steam-ship Neptune,
on shore on the Swinebodon; only a small portion of the
cargo has been saved, more or less wet.
The Teaser, of Wells, coal laden, was in contact with
a barque off this place to-day, and had. larboard bow
stove, but proceeded to the southward with assistance.

THE NEPTUNE STEAMER.
Extract from a letter from an agent of the underwri-
ters, dated Elsinore, June 1.
"The steamer Neptune, bound to St. Petersburg, during
a gale of wind last night, got on shore on the Swine-
bottoms, a dangerous reef about nib() English miles
north of this place. The passengers have been saved,
and some of them are now here and some in Sweden.
Some indigo and other goods have also been saved and
brought here by the seamen sent to assist the Neptune,
and it is expected that the cargo will be saved, but not
the steamer, as she is full of water. She got on shore
about eleven o'clock last night. Captain Smith amounts
fur it by his compasses being out of order."
