SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.—TiIis DAT.
Speculation to-day was principally confined to the Good.
wood Stakes, for, notwithstanding the near approach of
the Liverpool meeting, bookmakers and backers alike
seemed chary of dealing with the Cup. Both 31oldavia
and Challenge were backed, however at 5 to 1, the others
named as below also meeting with languid support. For
a time it was a moot point as to which was favourite
for the Goodwood Stakes, but ultimately, upon 100 to 8
being offered on the field, it was accepted about Jezabel,
the like figure being also noted down in favour of Guy of
Warwick and Aggravator. Blinkhoolie retired to 100 to
6, while Pakrita retrograded to 25 to 1. Gomera was re-
peatedly named and sui ported as below. A rumour that
Hermit is again only walking caused 9 to 4 to be freely
offered on the field for the Leger.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

(From the Registrar-Gentrars Return.)
In the week that ended on Saturday, June 29,
the births registered in London and 12 other large
towns of the United Kingdom were 4,788 ; the
deaths registered, 2,525. The annual rate of mor-
tality was 21 per 1,000 persons living.
In London the births of 1,081 boys and 1,076
girls, in all 2,160 children, were registered in the
week. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years
1857-66 the average number, corrected for increase
of population, is 2,011.
The deaths registerel in London during the week
were 1,118. It was the 26th week of the year, and
the average number of deaths for the week is, with
a correction for increase of population,l,294. The
deaths in the present return aro less by 176 than
the estimated number.
Tho deaths from zymotic diseases in the week
were 224, the corrected average being 349. Fifteen
deaths from smallpox were registered, two in
Bethnal-green, two in Limehouse, two in Poplar,
two in Bermondsey, and seven in other districts.
Nineteen deaths occurred from measles, 29 from
scarlatina, seven from diphtheria, 28 from whoop-
ing cough, 33 from typhus, and 48 from diarrhoea
The deaths from diarrhoea rose from 16 in the pre-
vious week to 48 in the present return
which occurred in the East, and 16 in the South
districts.
Three deaths from cholera or choleraic diarrhcel-
a
were recorded :—St. George, lianover-square (Be
grave.)—At 89, Claverton-street, on the 25th
(240 f
June, a nursemaid, aged 19 years, " cholera
hours)." St. Martin-in-the-Fields (Long-acre).—
At 1, Wilson-street, on the 22d of June, a mes-
senger at a brewery, aged 32 years, " hepatitis,
choleraic vomiting, and cramps." East London (St.
Botolph.)—At 4, Bell-square, on the 26th of June,
the son of a master tailor, aged three months and
two weeks, " choleraic diarrhoea (24 hours.)"
The deaths of four persons who were killed by

The waters supplied by the metropolitan com-
panies in the month of June contained, according to
the analysis in 100,000 tons, foreign solid
varying in amount from 23 in the New River water
to 39 tons in the Kent water ; Loch Katrine water
containing only 3 tons. The hardness ranged be-
tween the extremes of 16 and 28 in the two com-
panies. On the intermittent system of supply the
pipes are often left empty, and in that case some-
times get saturated with impurities. This happened
in Portland-road, where analysis detected sewage
contamination in the water drawn from the stand
pipe on June Ist ; the sewage was equivalent to 1
per cent. of the water, which was turbid when
drawn, and, after standing a few dayo, emitted an
offensive odour, and threw down flocculent matter.
One of the West Middlesex Company's mains in an
adjacent street had given way near a gully hole.
The water drawn on June 7th was in the normal
condition of the Thames water.
At the present high temperature the waters de-
mand the closest attention of the engineers of the
several companies.
The annual rate of mortality last week was 19 per
1,000 in London, 26 in Edinburgh, and 27
in Dublin ; 17 in Bristol, 17 in Birininghain,
25 in Liverpool, 28 in Manchester, 19 in Sal-
ford, 20 in Sheffield, 26 in Leeds, 21 in Hull, 23
in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 26 in Glasgo

w. The
rate in Vienna was 31 per 1,00 0 during
ending the 22d ult , when the mean
in temtheperaturesame
was 2.8 deg. Fahrenheit higher than
week in London, where the rate was 18.

STRIKE OF LABOURERS AT JARROW.—At the
South Shields Petty
Sessions, on Tuesday, Mr. Leich, sub-
contractor in the rolling mill department of Messrs. Palmer
and Co., shipbuilders, Jarrow, applied for summonses
against a gang of labourers whom he had employed, and
who had that morning refused to work unless they re-
ceived an advance of 2d. per day. He declined b give the
advance, an'l the men left the works. Summonses were
granted against eight of the men.

HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING.
The Loup CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
five o'clock.

PETITIONS.

Petitions were presented from various places in the
diocese of Salisbury, praying that their lordships would
pass the Clerical Vestment Bill.
T LIE TROOPS IN NEW ZEALAND.

Lord LYTTELTON moved for copies of instructions
to the officers commanding troops in New Zealand con-
cerning their distribution.
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said that with regard to
this motion, as there were arrangements being made as to
the distribution both by her Majesty's Government and
the Government abroad, it was advisable, he thought, to
wait for further info-:mation on the subject.

ki# The Earl of CARNARVON said that question arose
out of a despatch of his, and he would certainly like to
hoar something on the matter, and if the Government had
taken action in the matter it would be advisable that the
Louse should be informed fully, on the subject.
Lord LYTTELTON thought that it was necessary that
some information should be given to the house on this sub-
ject, but if the noble duke supposed it would be advanta-
geous he would, withdraw it.

The matter then dropped.
CERTIFICATED TEACHERS IN PARISHES.
The Earl of CORK slid that he wished to call the
attention of the house to the hardships sustained by
e3rtain parishes by making the employment of a certifi-
cated teacher an indispensable condition for their ob-
taining Government assistance. He contended that uncer-
tificated teachers were quite as well worthy of the grant
as those who were certificated. Many competent instruc-
tors were amongst the former. It was a great hard-
ship that all these teachers should be compelled to go
to the same school; indeed it was not so amongst
higher classes of teachers, they passed their necessary
examinations, and then pursued their professional duties
without any distinction. He thought that at this time there
should be a conference with the commissioners of 1859 re-
lative to improving the rural schools of this country, and he
trusted that during the winter something would be done in
the matter. On that account he called their lordships' at-
tention to it.

The Bishop of GLOUCESTER said that he was much
obliged to the noble earl for bringing forward the
question. lie know very well what hardships the
clergy of the rural districts had in obtaining proper
schools for the children of the poor. There could be no
doubt that the higher the class of educated teachers they
could obtain the more advantageous it would be, but
it was often difficult to get them. He would
suggest that there should bo, if possible, diocesan
boards of education in the rural districts, by which per-
haps the evil complained of might be met.
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said that this was one
of the most important and one of the broadest questions
that could bo brought before their lordships. But ho
thought that a more general ground should be taken than
that suggested by the noble lord.
Their lordships shortly afterwards adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY.
The SPEAKER. took the chair at 2 o'clock.
THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL.

In reply to Sir W. BUXTON,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
it was intended, on the passing of the Representation of
the People Bill, to move the second reading of the Scotch
Raform Bill. The house would thereby have an oppor-
tunity of assenting to the principle of the bill, the fran-
chise given therein, and the redistribution of seats.
(Hear, hear.)

PERK PARLIAMENTbi er for Caine, not because he agreed with the principle it
laid down.
The house then divided—
For Mr. Lowe's clause
Against it 314
Majority —l4l
The sitting was then suspended till 9 o'clock
On the re-assembling of the house at night Sir C.
O'Loghlen raised the question of the expediency of with-
holding the exercise of the Royal prerogative of creating
peers of Ireland, or filling up vacancies that may occur in
the Irish peerage, with a view to the ultimate union of the
peerage of Ireland with that of the United Kingdom, and
moved an address to her Majesty on the subject.
Lord NAAS admitted that the Irish peerage was in an
anomalous position, but if it were to be altered it could
only be through a solemn decision of both Houses of Parlia-
meut in a bill repealing one of the articles of the Act of
'juice), and that he thought was not a desirable course to
take.

After some discussion the motion for an address was

withdrawn.
Sir F. GOLDSMID drew atttention to the recent perse-
cution of the Jews in Roumania, and inquired whether
the Foreign Secretary had received any intelligence on
the subject since the presentation of the papers relating
thereto.
Lord STANLEY stated that, according to the latest
information which reached the Foreign Office that day, it
appeared that assurances had been given by the Roumanian
Government that means would be taken to remedy the
grievances complained of. To what extent these would
be fulfilled, however, remained to be seen.
A motion of Mr. SYNAN, relating to the rank, pay, and
position of the medical officers of the army, elicited an
explanation from Sir J. Pakington on the subject, which
being accepted as satisfactory, the motion was withdrawn.
Mr. TAYLOR directed attention to the circumstances
under which two men were convicted of poaching by the
Salisbury bench of county magistrates in March last, and
moved for the production of the evidence on which the
conviction was based. The conduct of the magistrates
was severely impugne 1 by the mover, and warmly do
fended by the Home Secretary and other members. A
considerable amount of acerbity was imported into the
discussion, and the question was of sufficient interest to
the oppononts and the supporters of the game laws to
keep a tolerably full house together until an advanced
hour.

Eventually the house wont to a division on an amended
motion by Mr. Forster, to produce the correspondence
between the magistrates and the Home Office, as it
appeared no depositions had been taken in the case ; and
the motion was negatived by 70 to 31.
On the motion of Mr. OTWAY, the house which hid sat
nearly twelve hours, adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock.
