HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TMS DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock.
VACCINA.TION BILL.

On the motion for the recommittal of this bill,
Lord R. MONTAGUE stated the objects of the bill, the
chief of which was to assimilate the law of England with
that of Scotland, which made it compulsory that all chil-
dren be vaccinated within six months of birth. The fear-
ful disease of small-pox had greatly decreased in that
country since the law had been in operation, and, there-
fore, he thought it highly important that such a law
should be in force in England.
Sir J. C. JERVOISE moved, as an amendment, that
the consideration of the bill be postponed till after the
report of the medical officers of the Privy Council, 1866,
shall have been distributed.
Col. BARTELOTT supported the amendment. He
thought it highly inexpedient to pass such a stringent
measure before any inquiry had been instituted whether
vaccination was right or wrong. lie thought, under
such circumstances, it was extremely hard to make all
heads of families liable to a fine of 205., who neglected to
apply for and fill up certain forms set forth in the act.
Mr. BRUCE supported the bill, which he said con-
tained no new proposal, as compulsory vaccination was at
the present moment the law of the laud. All the measure
did was to collect the whole of the scattered enactments
on the subject of vaccination into one bill, which intro-
duced great improvements in the machinery for
carrying it into operation. The bill made ex-
ceptions in case of the state of health of the
child; and with respect to the efficiency of vaccination, he
stated that the principal medioal officer of the Smallpox
Hospital, whose experience extended over twenty years
led him to the opinion that in cases of non-vaccination the
deaths from smallpox was 3 to 1, whilst the proportion
amongst those vaccinated properly the deaths were only
1 in 300. He thought nothing but prejudice stood in the
way of a general adoption of the safeguard, and the sooner
that was broken down the better. Tho bill proposed that
the public vaccinators should be adequately remunerated,
and that registrars should also:participate in the improved
scale of payments proposed by the bill. lie was quite
awaie that there were matters of detail which led to much
difference of opinion, but they could be settled in com-
mittee, and ho therefore hoped the house would proceed
with the bill.

Dr. BRADY said that he believed it was the general
opinion of the medical profession that compulsory vaccina-
tion was necessary for the welfare of socuity, and there-
fore he shoula give his support to the bill.
Mr. LOWE thought that the poor children who die
through not being vaccinated ought to be as much con-
sidered by hon. gentlemen as those children who, they
said, were submitted to the pain of having four punctured
wounds inflicted on their arms, and then having them re-
opened on the eighth day. He felt that the bill was an
exceedingly good one, and he therefore hoped the house
would go into committee, and thereby do something
towards perfecting a measure which was calculated to
diminish the deaths from small-pox, which swept off the
people by thousands.
Mr. E.ENDALL was in favour of the bill, but ho hoped

RECEN7 HISTORY OF ASSASSINATION,

The following curious list of all the attempts at
political assassination that have been made since
1850 will be read with interest after the nefarious
attempt last Thursday :
The Queen of England.—Queen Victoria can
count four attempts on her life. On June 28, 1850,
she received a violent blow with a stick from ono
Robert Plate, a retired lieutenant of the 10th Hussars.
The Kings of Prussia.—ln May, 1850, the late
King of Prussia received, as he was mounting a
railway carriage, a shot from a holster pistol of large
bore, in the fore arm ; the assassin, Sefelago, of
Wetslow, cried out as he fired, " Liberty for ever !"
The life of the present King of Prussia was in dan-
ger at Baden on the morning of July 14, 1861. Two
pistol shots were fired at him by Oscar Becker, a
law student at Leipsic. The regicide declared that
he wished to kill tae King, because he was not cap-
able of effecting the unity of Germany.
The Emperor of Austria.—On February 8, 1853,
at Vienna, Francis Joseph 1. was struck with a knife
in the nape of the neck. The murderer's name was
Libenny, of Albe, in Hungary, aged 20, resident at
Vienna, and a tailor by trade.
The Duke of Parma.—On March 20, 1851, Fer-
dinand Charles 111., Duke of Parma, returning front
an excursion, was hustled by a person, who at the
same time stabbed him in the abdomen, left the
poniard in the wound, and subsequently escaped.
The Duke expired in cruel torture in 23 hours.
The Queen of Spain (a second attempt).—Ox
28, 1856, as Queen Isabella was passing iu her car-
riage along the Rue de l'Arsenal at Madrid, a young
man named R tymonn Fuentes drew a pistol from

Napoleon lII.—In October, 1852, when Napo-
leon, who was on the eve of becoming Emperor, was
at Marseilles, there had been prepared au infernal
machine, formed of 250 gun-barrels charged with
1,500 balls, intended to go off all at once against
the Prince and his cortege. But the attempt was

arrested as concerned in the conspiracy. On April
28, 1855, Jean Liverani fired two shots at the Em-
peror in the Grand Avenue of the Champs Elysees.
In 1857, Tibaldi, Bartolotti, and Grilli came from
England to Paris to assassinate the Emperor, but
were discovered, arrested, tried, and punished. On
the 14th January, 1858, Orsini, Gomes, Pieri, and
Rudio threw their murderous shells at the Emperor
of the French, and shed the blood of a great num-
ber of honest citizens in Paris. On December 24,
1863, Greco, Trabucco, Imperatore, and Scaglioni,
who had come over from London with the intention
of killing the French Emperor, were arrested in
Paris. . .
