FEVER IN THE MAURITIUS.
Mr. J. A. SMITH asked the Under-Secretary of State
for the Colonies, whether the statement which had ap-.
peered in several of the papers in reference to the outbreak
of yellow fever in the Mauritius is well founded; and, if
so, whether the unusual rate of mortality reported had
occurred. And, whether any steps had been taken to draw
the attention of the Government to the possible extension
of the disease to India ?
Mr. ADDEEtLEY said no despatch had been re-
ceived. The intelligence came by private letter,
but he had reason to believe the report was too
true. The letter stated that, 250 deaths had oc-
curred in Port Louis alone. Up to tho data of the
letter ho believed 13,000 deaths bad taken place in a popu-
lation of 300,090. Medicines bad been sent and the troops
marched to a healthy situation. Yellow fever, until tho
present outbreak, had never before appeared east of the
Cape. The Government were in exp!ctation of despatches
every

Si-r S. NORTHCOTn said ho had telegraphed to India,
directing every precaution to be taken to prevent the
fever spreading in that direction.

THE VOLUNTEERS

...
Mr. FINLAY asked CI; Soeretary of State for War if
ie was aware that several volunteer corps had not yet
oceivedany pa: t of the capitation money voted to them
the house for the years liqi6 and 1865, and only a por-
ion of the money voted for the year 1861 ; and whether
e could state the cause of the delay, and when these corps
tight expect to receive the sums duo to them.

air J. PAKINGTON said he was inform,' that all the
money duo in 1861 had been paid. £O) of that duo
in 1863 was to be paid to-morrow, but with respect to that
for 1866 none had been paid, bee 'use none had been ap-
plied for. That was the cause of the delay.
THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN.

Mr. MONK asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs
whether ho had any information confirming 'the report
that was in circulation that Juarez had ordered the Em-
peror Maximilian to be shot ?
Lord STANLEY said he had no such information, and
with respect to the alleged capture of the Emperor all that
was known was what had appeared in the newspapers,
and-in those reports there were two contradictory state-
ments.

the franchise could go forward to another place, and then
they would have time to delibera'ely discuss that relating
to the distribution of seats, which they had nol. vet done.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said ho
would read the addition ho proposed to make to the clause.
The right hon. gentleman then read a kind of preamble,
which recited that, in consequence of the reports of com-
missions appointed to investigate the charges of bribery
made against the electors of Totnes, Great Yarmouth,
Re;gate and Lancaster, and then said ho proposed to
preface the clause with that introduction.
The motion for postponement was withdrawn, and
Mr. BAXTER moved an amendment to the clause to
the effect that Lancaster and Great Yarmouth should
retain one member each.
Sir R. BOWYER said he had a motion on the paper
for the striking out of the clause altogether, as lie con-
sidered it a great hardship that a number of persons who
were not guilty of bribery should be punished for those
who had committed that offence.
