Mr. V. SMITH wished to know when it was pur-
posed that the House should adjourn for the Whitsun-
tide recess ?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he proposed to move the
adjournment of the House from Friday next until the
Thursday following. Perhaps it would be as well if he
took that opportunity of stating that on Fri.
day next he should move for leave to bring in
two Bills, one for reforming and facilitating the
adminibtrstion of justice in the Court of Chancery,
and the other for regulating the salaries of the Chief
Justice of the Queen's Bench and the Chief Justice of
the Court of Common Pleas. linmeciately after the
Committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, the duration
of which he could say nothing about—(A laugh)—he
proposed to go into Committee on the Jewish Disabilities
Bill.— (Hear, hear.)
Mr. V. SMITH would be glad to know when it was
proposed to take a Committee of Supply?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that he proposed to
t,ke the:Committee o' Supply on Thursday, the!l2th, and
Fr,d :y, the 13th of June.
IKILRUSII UNION.
Mr. REYNOLDS wished to know how soon after the
order, he put himself in communication with the Com-
missioner in Dublin, rispeoting these returns, and how
soon he meant to bring on the many Irish Bills which
stood on the paper, and whether it was his intention to
obtain a Government night for bringing them forward.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE could not say when the re-
t trns would be laid on the table of the House, since
they were very voluminous, and had already been trans-
mitted from Ireland in the usual course. With reference
to the &Ls, they must share the fate of the other Bills
before the House, and he was quite as anxious to bring
on those bills as the Hon. Member.

JEW BILL.
Mr. B. OSBORNE wished to know whether the Go-
vernment meant to proceed with the Jew Bill which had
been introduced under an express resolution of the
House, and therefore differed from any other Bill then
pending.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said the Noble Lord bad already
stated that the Bill would be proceeded with when the
Ecclesiastical Titles Bill bad gone through Committee.
Mr. H. OSBORNE—When is that ?
Mr. LABOUCHERE said it was the usual practice
t) proceed with one subject at a time, and he could not
s_•e that the least intention had been evinced by the Go-
vernment to abandon it.

WOODS AND FORESTS BILL.
In answer to Lord DUNCAN,
Lord SEYMOUR said be did not see any chance of
proceeding with this Bill until after Whitsuntide.
METROPOLITAN SEWERS.
Lord DUDLEY STUART wished to know when the
Government meant to bring in their Bill for the
regulation of the metropolitan sewers. He could
not help thinking that the Bill had been un-
necessarily delayed, although be could not charge
the Government with any breach of faith on the subject
because they had abstained from making any promise on
the subject.
Sir G. GREY said the Bill was in preparation,
though he could not name the day when it would be
brought before the House.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
The motion for the adjournment of the House at its
rising until Monday next was then agreed to.
ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL.
The H. tue then went into Committee on this Bill,
rfsunied the consideration of the proviso proposed
by Mr. lienagh to be added to clause l.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET
REMOVAL BILL.
The Committee met on Wednesday morning at twelve
o'clock.
The first witness called was
Mr. Samuel Holme, a civil engineer and builder, and
member of the town council of Liverpool, who deposed
that the removal of the cattle market from the centre
of that town to the outskirts had been attended
with the most beneficial results. When the old
market existed the cattle were driven through the
streets, after being landed from the steamers, to the
great annoyance of the residents. Accidents were
of common occurrence, and the house property in the
avenues leading to the market was deteriorated in value.
Since the formation of the new market, two miles and
a half from the centre of the town, the cattle were
landed at the northern extremity of the town, and con-
veyed under it through the Victoria-tunnel to the
market. The principal reason for the construction of
that tunnel was for the transit of cattle without atinoy-
filice. Slaughter-houses had been built round the new
market, which was of great extent.
By Mr. HOPE—The dead-meat market remained in the
centre of the town, and there were two smaller dead-
meat markets at the extremities of the town.
Mr. Hewton, a land agent, of Birmingham, proved
that the removal of the cattle markets from the centres
of the towns of Shrewsbury, Birmingham, and Wolver-
hampton, had been attended with considerable benefit to
the inhabitants.
Mr. J. T. Norris, of Bedford-street, Russell-square, and
a member of the orporation of London, stated that he
.eas a member of a committee of the Court of Common
Council appointed to iiiqufse into the condition of the
living and dead meat markets in the city. He had
arrived at the conclusion that the cattle market in
Smithfield was deficient in space, and that the locality
was unfit for it. He bad seen the plans for its extension
proposed by the city authorities, but they would only
remedy the want of space; and nothing short of the
removal of the market would do away with thenuisauces
of slaughter-houses, bone-boilers, gut-twisting sheds,
&c. In addition to these evils, the market caused so
much poverty to prevail in the parish (St. Sepulchre's),
that it was troublesome to collect the rates—especially
the City police rates—there.
By Mr. HOPE—Witness had no interest in the ques-
tion of the removal of the market, except the general
good of the City. If the market were removed, all the
bone-boilers, gut-twisters, &c., would most likely follow
it. The space required for a new market in the suburbs
would probably be 100 acres, which might cost from
60,000/. to 70.0001. The selection of the site would re-
main with the Commissioners appointed by the Govern-
ment, and he had every confidence that they would select
a proper place.
Re-examined—The estimate of 100 acres was only a
rough one, and included the ground necessary for proper
cattle-fairs and slaughterhouses. The subject of the
market occasioned a warm feeling on both aides of the
question throughout the City, and it had sometimes
been discussed at the annual election of the members of
the Common Council.
By Sir JAMES DIIKE—If the Corporation had the power
to regulate the market-hours to suit the public conve-
nience, no doubt they would do so; but any such inter-
ference would be moat mischievous. A large open apace
'eke Smithfield was, no doubt, of service to the City, and
would not be for the public advantage to have it bui'

Several of the salesmen of Smithfield were then
' examined, and they all agreed that the present market
was deficient in space, badly situated, and that a new
market on the outskirts of 14,ndon would be preferable
to any enlargement of the present site.
Mr. H H Fulton, a civil engineer, stated that during
the last three years his attention had been directed to
the selection of a site fur a cattle-market in lieu of
Smithfi• Id. The spots selected by him were Copenha-
gen-field.,, the north side of the Camden-road, and a place
near Hortisey. Any one or all of these sites might be
connected with the metropolitan railways, except the
Brighton and South-Eastern lines. Cattle brought up
the river might be landed below Blackwell, and conveyed
by the Eist and West India Dock Railway to these
spots. There was ample supply of water and good
drainage.
By Mr. MERREWEATHER—Made these selections at
the request of private individuals, who contemplated the
formation of markets. Coulti nut say which of the three
would be the best for a metropolitan market.
The Committee then adjourned.
The Committee resumed their inquiry again to-day
in room No. 1; Mr. Cardwell in the chair.
Only one additions] witness was examined on the part
°f the promoters, a Mr. Druce, a farmer in the neigh-
bourhood of Oxford, who stated that he was in favour of
the market being removed into the suburbs of London.
