BILL.

Oo the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. SLANEY hoped that under the billsiirovision
would be made for retaining an open space in front of
Kensington Museum.

The house then went into committee.
On clause 1,

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY complained that, no Urns
was fixed by the first clause for the repayment of the
money by the commissioners into the exchequer.
The CHANCELLOR a the EXCHEQUER, said it
was impossible to specify the exact time when the money
to be advanced should be repaid, as the arrangement for
raising the money depended on the passing of? the bill.
It was to the interest of the commissioners that the bill
should be passed as soon as possible.
Mr. ALCOCK adverted to the different manner io
which this scheme was dealt with to that of the soheu"
for Batter ea-park and Chelsea New Bridge. In °be
case the capital only was to be returned, whilst in the
other the capital and7o,ooo/. interest were to be returned.
Under these circumstances, he thought her 'Majesty's
Government were bound to throw Chelsea New Bridge
open t 9 the public.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved an amendment to the
clause that the money should be repaid within one year
or sooner.

MEDICAL PRACTIONERS' DILL.

On the motion of Mr. WALPOLE, this bill was com-
mitted pro forma, for the purpose of introducing certain
amendments, and the bill was ordered to be recommitted
on Thursday week at twelve o'clock.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL.

The houm then went into committee on this bill.
Clauses 1 t i S inclusive were agreed to.
On clause 9, a bich gives the power to determine
whether the act should be adopted or not in town coun-
cils and improvement commissions,
Sir M. FARQUALIAR, said he thought that this
power ought to be in the hands of the ratepayers, and
not in town councils. If such a provision as the one
laid down in the clause was azreed to, the bill, in his
opinion, would be a dead letter. lie moved an amend-
ment to effect his suggestion.

Mr. BATNES supported the clause. He thought
the town councillor?, who were the ratepayers selection,
were the proper parties to determine whether or not
they would adopt the provisions of the bill.
Mr. ADDEELEY said the clause provided that
two-thirds of the town council must consent to the adop-
tion of the act before it cJull be put in operation, and
then there was an ample power of arp,2al given to the
ratepayers against the decision of the town council.
After a short discussion, the amendment was nega-
tived without a division, an 1 the clause was agreed to.
On clause 10, which Prcpo.sed that the petitions cf
the ratepayers and others afgai,st the decision of the
town council in favour of the act be addressed to one
of her Majesty's .9-eretttriet of State,
Mr. CO Vti PER propcs.ed that :be petition cf these
opposed to the adopt:co of this act should be sent to the
mouitt.ec of :Privy C.mncil, or in other words, to the
President of the Board of Health. Ia ffoct such pe-
titions would go to the Home OfSee, which was already
overburdened with 1.1,,irer3.
Mr. AUDI:O.IAV said he f:it disposed to adopt the
amendment of the right hon. gentleman merely for the
purpose of expediting the passing of the Hi, the maim
object t.f which was to get rid of the existitig Board of
Health, and to leave local authorities to their own
action, uoder the dircciion of the Secretary of State.
But with this desire be felt he must adhere to the clause,

being desirous of keeping, separate and distinct the
medical and manitaty action from mere matters of police.
The latter, ba c,ntended, ought to to under the
direction of the Elonit-z•ffice, but the former under the
guidance of the Privy Council.
Mr. PALK thought the best way to expedite the hal
was to refer it .0 a select committee. (Oh, ob.)

impression which exists amongst some of his cuttomers, that lie has

is entirely unfounded) has probably arisen in onsequence of the re-

been, in any way connected, either in business or by relationship.

Ireland whether the attention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment had been called to the state of the municipal affwire

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 9th have reached
us. The Queen and Royal family have at-
tended the theatre at Gijon, where they had
been received with enthusiasm. The cases of
yellow fever reported from Ferrol are stated to
have broken out not in the town, but on board
the steamer Isabella II ; 13 persons were at-
tacked, and three had died. The vessel had been
sent to the lazaretto of Vigo. As her Majesty was
proceeding from Oviedo to Gijon, one of the '
royal chaplains was by the Queen's side, con-
stantly occupied in distributing money to the
beggars by the road side. An official return
shows that the amount of the floating debt on
the 31st ult. was 497,882,436 reals. The semi-offi-
cial Correspondancia Autografa says :—" We notice
in the foreign news of the day, received by telegraph,
the assertion that Spain is about to cede the island
of Cuba to the United States. Is it possible that
any one can waste his time in inventing such ab-
surdities?"

DESCRIPTION OP TIIE MINING REGION.

A work of Mr. John Dunn, on the Oregon Territory,
published in London in 1811, furnishes us with a descrip-
tion of the country lying along both sides of Fraser's River,
which cannot fail to prove interesting. He says :—" The
ountrY along its lower section is hilly, and covered with
forests of white pine, cedar, and other evergreen trees, and
be soil is generally well fitted for pasturage, and, in many
laces, for tillage. But along the other and more northern
sections the country is more ungenial and unproductive—
being cut up by mountains, ravines, torrents, lake, and
marshes. Yet it Is well wooded, yielding all the varieties of
trees growing in that region—fir, spruce, pine, poplar, wil-
low, cedar, cypress, birch and elder." But in all probability
the most important information at this time which Mr. Dunn
araishee relates to the climate. On this subject he re-
climate le very variable, and the transitions
t
marks:—" The
are, though periodically regular, remarkably sudden, if
'violent. During the spring, which lasts from April till June,
the weather and face of the country are delightfid. In June
there are almost incessant rains, drifted furieusly along be
a strong south wind. Is .y and
intense, and the ground, previously August the heat is
sly saturated with mnie-
ture, produces myriads of annoying flies and insects. This
heat and glaring sunshine are succeeded in September by
fogs of such palpable darkness that until noon it is seldom
possible to distinguish objects at a longer distance than
yards. In November the winter _eta in speedily, freezing
the likes and smaller rivers. The rolJ, however, is not so
Intense as might be imagined in such a country and climate."
Next to the extent and richness of the new gold mines, the
most important inquiry is as to the character of the climate.
t must be confessed that Mr. Dunn does not draw a very flus-
tering picture of the country in that respect, and his long re-
sidence there is a guarantee of the correctness of his
statements. It is the concurrent opinion of all who have
written from the new mines recently that mining opera-
tions will have to be suspended for a month or so, in conse-
quence of the rising of Fraser's River. The incessant rains,
which, according to Mr. Dunn, occur in the month of June,
will cause the river to rise much higher than it was at last

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTiLE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article
of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebi:ty
is worldwide. It lips been a subject of wonder, and has puzzl' I
many a brain to explain how this has been brought aboui;. Yet
when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the fold, or-
wonder will cease. A few drys since, a gentleman wrote, stating
that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tri 1
all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain.
He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect wa3
wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few
weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late
agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's
food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced
to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in-
trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed Won° from
the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All
parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77,
Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post frco.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.—GUILDFORD, AUG. 13.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Common Jury.)
EVEREST V. lIOWARD.

This was an action to recover damages for false imprison-
ment.

Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Russell were counsel for the
plaintiff; Mr Laxton appeared for the defendant.
The plaintiff in this action, it appeared, had for a great
many years been employed as an omnibus driver, and he
had been for 11 years in the service of one master, and bore
a good character, but at the time the transaction took place
that was the subject of inquiry it seemed that he was not
in regular employment. The defendant was represented to
be a person of eccentric habits, and to be a man of some
property. On the morning of the sth of May he was at the
Waggon and Horses public-house, at Newington, in a half
drunken state, and it appeared that he had been out all
night. Ile treated the plaintiff to some liquor, and then
went into one of the rooms of the public-house and lay
down on a bench and went to sleep. The plaintiff
went to him and shook him, and tried to rouse
him, but finding he could not do so he left, and two or three
hours afterwards he was very much surprised to find the
defendant and a police-sergeant come in search of him, and
he was taken into custody upon the charge of stealing a
£5O note, a £lO note, and a £5 note from the defendant.
He was examined before Mr. Elliott, the magistrate, upon
that charge, and remanded for five days, and he was taken
to Horsemonger-lane Gaol in the prison van, and re-
mained there for that period. When he was again
brought up, it turned out that the defendant had found the
money he supposed to have been stolen, and he did not make
his appearance at the police-office, or take any further
notice of the matter, and the plaintiff was discharged, and
the present action was brought to recover damages for the
imprisonment be bad undergone.
Mr. Laxton admitted that he could not justify the con-
duct of the defendant, and he at the same time said be was
instructed to withdraw all imputation upon the character
of the plaintiff. He undoubtedly did at first believe that
he had lost his money and suspected the plaintiff had taken
it, but he said he was satisfied that he was wrong, and he
probably would not have acted as he did if he had not been
drinking, and his senses not very perfect on that account.
Mr. Justice Willes, in summing up, said that drunken-
ness was no excuse, and if a man when he was drunk had a
fancy to clap people into prison without any grounds, he
must pay for it.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages,
