and of the Humber, and lower than the average in
counties of Wales and of the Midland and Southern
region of England, around the basins of the Severn,
Trent, and Thames.

The great towns of the United Kingdom may be
arranged thus in the order of the autumnal mortality
rate per I,ooo—Bristol 24, London 24, Dublin 26,
Birmingham 26, Edinburgh 29, Hull 29, Leeds 33,
Salford 34, Manchester 36, Glasgow 40, Liverpool
41. The mortality in 63 of the country districts
was 18 during the same season.

It is sad to see this great sacrifice of human life in
so many of our large towns, where the productive
industry of the country is most active, and ~vhere
the science of the country is applied to almost every
purpose, except the maintenance of the hygienic
conditions on which men can live in health.

It is satisfactory to observe at the same time traces
of dawning light.. London has undertaken great
sewage works ; Manchester is already supplied with
abundance of water; and we may hope to see ere
long a generous rivalry in our cities in the race of
improvement. When pure water on the constant
supply System is brought to every house, and the
dirt in cesspools, which is the source of zymotic dis-
ease, is carried away to fructify the soil, the muni-
cipal authorities will have laid the solid foundations
of the sanitary edifice. The inspection of articles of
food by health officers, measures for the regulation
of lodging-houses or of any of the houses in which
fever is generated, and several other duties, they
may also undertake ; but of ter all this is done, the
crowning success must be achieved by the people
themselves. Temperance, self-control, and skill in
protecting themselves and their children from evil
are every day called into requisition. The preser-
vation of life depends upon careful attention to
small things, and should be taught as a part of com-
mon education.

Mr. Leigh's able sanitary report on Manchester
shows how much has been done, and how much re-
mains to be done, in that city. It is to be regretted
that Manchester has yet no health officer, but it is
indebted to the Statistical and the Sanitary Socie-
ties for the publication of much valuable practical
information.

ROAD MENDING IN PARIS.—The Pont Royal is
one of the most frequented bridges of Paris. The number
of vehicles which traverse it at all hours of the day is enor-
mous, and some difficulty is caused by even a brief inter-
ruption of the traffic during the night. The extent of the
traffic, however, renders necessary frequent repairs to the
road. A day or two since this operation has been carried
out over the whole length of the bridge, and in order to
level and bind together a thick layer of broken granite the
new steam roller, weighing nearly 30,000 kilogrammes,
which has already been employed in other parts of the city,
was brought into use. The operation commenced at 10 o'clock
in the evening, and was continued throughout the night.
In the morning the bridge was re-opened for traffic, the
road being sufficiently levelled to allow of vehicles passing
without any inconvenience. The new system of road
levelling is far more rapid and more efficacious than the
, old plan of cumbrous rollers drawn by horsep,—La France.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING.

Their lordships met at five o'clock, Lord REDESDALB
presiding, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor.
USHER OF THE CLERK OF PARLIAMENTS AND

OFFICE OF THE GENTLEMAN USHER OF THE

BLACK ROD.

The second report in reference to these officials was
considered and agreed to—Lord Redesdale paying a high
compliment to the Usher of the Black Rod for the manner
in which he had discharged his duties.
MARK BINKE, THE LATE SUB-INSPECTOR OF
THE IRISH CONSTABULARY.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved for copy of any
recommendation or certificate sent by the late Irish Go-
vernment to the late Board of Treasury for a pension or
superannuation allowance to be granted to Mark Binke,
late inspector of the Irish police force, subsequent to
his trial for his neglect and refusal to do his
duty at Balles')dare on the 26th of January, 1865. He
said he had brought the subject before the house on a pre-
vious occasion and in another form. The noble lord then
proceeded to repeat the statements he had previously made
as to an alleged attempt to interfere with a female named
Coghlan, in Sligo, Ireland, who desired to secede
from the Roman Catholic Church, which statements have
been so frequently denied. Two or three days ago he ap-
plied to the late Lord Lieutenant on the subject, and was
informed that the pension to Binke was the act of the
Board of Treasury.
The Earl of DERBY said he knew nothing of the merits
of the case, but that he considered that no benefit would
result from the return moved for by the noble marquis,
who had an opportunity afforded him of making a full
statement.
The motion was accordingly negatived.

EXTRADITION TREATIES ACT AMENDMENT

BILL.

On the motion of the Earl of DERBY the Commons
amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to,
and the bill was read a third time and passed.
PATRIOTIC FUND BILL.

The Earl of MALISIESBURY moved the third reading
of this bill, which was agreed to.
HABEAS CORPUS ACT (IRELAND) CONTINUANCE

BILL.

The Earl of DERBY moved the third reading of this
bill, which was agreed to.
NATIONAL FISHERIES (IRELAND).
On the motion of the Marquis of CLANRIOARDE, a
return of the cases, in which the special commissioners
for Irish fisheries had abated or removed fixed nets as in-
jurious to navigation, after the Court of Queen's Bench
had decided that they were incompetent to do so, was
ordered, and other returns on the same subject were also
ordered.
METROPOLITAN COMMONS BILL.
The Earl of BELMOBE moved that the Commons'
consequential amendments to the Lords' amendments on
this bill should be considered.
The motion was agreed to.
The house then adjourned until Friday.

WESTMINSTER.

DISGRACEFUL ATTACK UPON A POOR FOREIGNRIL—A
poor German, speaking very bad English, came before the
magistrate this morning, and complained of the following
disgraceful conduct :
The poor fellow, after much time expended in the pro-
cess, informed the magistrate that he was a man going
about with sheet glass to repair broken windows. He was
called yesterday by a person in Flask-row, Pimlico, to put
in a pane of glass, and was about to do so when the sheet
glass he was carrying was wilfully broken by a boy, and
himself attacked and beaten shamefully by others.
In answer to the Magistrate, the applicant said that the
glass had been wilfully broken by a boy throwing a stone
through it, and then that an attack was suddenly made
upon him by others, and he was much cut and bruised
about the face.
A very respectable-looking woman, residing at Pimlico,
said she had felt it her duty to come forward and inform
the magistrate how cruelly the poor foreigner had been
used. He was bleeding proffsely from the face when she
interfered, and the attack had been made upon him without
the least provocation, because he wanted redress for his
broken glass.
Mr. Arnold asked if the boys could be found.
The woman replied that two were known to her by
sight, and could be identified.
Mr. Arnold immediately issued a warrant, without fees,
for the apprehension of the offenders.

MARKETS.--This Day.

.0- ----

MARK-LANE.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat
from Essex and Kent were only moderate. Only a mode-
rate business was transacted in both red and white parcels,
but the prices realised were fully equal to Monday.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
trade ruled firm, and late rates were well supported.
In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly on
former terms.

Barley was in fair supply and moderate request at abou'
Monday's quotations.

Malt commanded but little attention at stationary prices.
There was a good show of oats on offer. Fine pareels
were disposed of at full quotations, but inferior samples
met a slow sale at the late decline.

In beans and peas very little was doing at drooping
prices.
The flour trade was quiet on former terms.

THE "CHoLERA MIST."

Mr. James Glaisher has seen the' cholera mist"
again, to which he called public attention in July.
" Last Monday," he says (July 30), "on looking
from the grounds of the Royal Observatory, Green-
wich, under the trees, towards the boundary walls
of the park, I saw the same dense blue mist, which
has continued without intermission to the present
time, though somewhat less in density this morning.
Ordinary mists pass away when the wind blows
with a pressure of Vb. on the square foot. Since
last Monday we have had pressures of the wind
varying from +lb. to 91b. on the same area, blowing
continuously for 60 to 70 hours, yet there has been
no change in this blue appearance. I have examined
the atmosphere daily for this blueness, particularly
during the last 12 months, and have never seen eny
thing like it since the year 1854. This blue mist is
apparent on all sides; it extends fully to the top of
the trees, though it is not then so easy to distinguish.
It is most east easily discernible through as much
atmosphere as possible, viewed from under a tree,
looking under other trees. Thus seen, the boundary
walls of Greenwich Park and all objects near them
are coloured blue ; or through gaps in trees, if
there are others at a sufficient distance to form a
background, when it resembles thin smoke from a
wood fire. The intensity of the blue is increased
when viewed through a telescope with a low power.
It is of great importance to know whether it is
general over the country. The only other tint of
imist I know connected with the prevalence of
epidemic is that of a yellow mist perceptible in like
manner when scarlatina is prevalent ; in neither
case is there any excess of humidity in the air."
Mr. Giggler adds for our consolation that with the
exception of this blueness, and a mist, as seen over
London and Essex, there are no other of the pecu-
liar atmospheric conditions which prevailed in 1832,
1849, and 1854, such as an excess of heat, stagna-
tion of the atmosphere, extreme high readings of
the barometer, &c. ; and this holds out the hope
that the present visitation may not extend or be of
long continuance.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BARMAID CHARGED WITH ROBBERY. —Mary Jane
Stanterford, about 16 years old, barmaid in the employ of
Mr. Benjamin Overton, of the Old Chesterfield Arms,
Shepherd-street, Mayfair, was charged before Mr. Flowers
with stealing cigars and other articles, the property of her
master. _ _

Mr. Overton said that for some time past he had sus-
pected the prisoner, who was his barmaid, of robbing him.
On Sunday last she went cut and never returned, and in
consequence of one of his children telling him that the pri-
soner had taken some money from the till he communi-
cated with the police, and went yesterday to the prisoner,
who was staying with her aunt in Bateman's-buildings,
Soho, and ordered her to return with him, and she did so.
He then gave her into custody, and on the officer search-
ing her box some cigars, stockings, and other articles (his
property) were found, and the prisoner acknowledged tak-
ing three shillings from the till. The prisoner had been
laying out money extravagantly, and had told a person
named Norton not to let Mrs. Overton know what she
bought.
Philip Shrives, 82 0, proved being sent for, and taking
the prisoner into custody for stealing different articles and
money from the till. The prisoner denied three or four
times taking any money, but afterwards admitted that she
took three shillings from the till on Sunday. On searching
the prisoner's box he found the cigars and other articles

produced.
Mrs. Overton, wife of the prosecutor, identified the pro-
perty produced, and stated on coming down stairs on Sun-
day afternoon she found a man who acted as potman
stupidly drunk, and the next morning he told her that the
prisoner had given him half a pint of gin to drink. From
inquiries she had made she found that the prisoner had
been spending a good deal of money of late, and she had
no doubt the prisoner had robbed them to some extent.
Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoner.

ROYAL COMMISSION.

The SPEAKER, attended by several members, attended
the House of Peers to hear the Royal assent given to a
number of public and private bills.

HER MAJESTY'S SHIP FAVOURITE.

Mr. SEELY moved for a return giving date when her
Majesty's sh:p Favourite last sailed from England to
North America, stating whether she had any steel or
chilled iron shot or shell Dn board ; and, if so, how many;
and whether any steel or chilled iron shot or shell had
been since sent to her, and, if so, how many and when ;
and, if none had been sent, whether it was intended to send
any, and when.

The return was ordered.
THE HYDE PARK RIOTS.

Mr. TAYLOR asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Depatment whether his attention had been called
to a report of a decision of Mr. Knox at Marlborough-
street in a case of violence proved to have been exercised
by a policeman against a person not inside, not seeking to
enter the park ; the summons having been discharged with
these words :—" Do not blame the coustable, who has
given you a chance blow ; but blame those who turned
loose the scum and refuse of the town on the peaceable
inhabitants."

Mr. WALPOLE said his attention had not been drawn
to the case when the question had been put on the paper.
He had since made an 5 avestigation, and he was afraid the
notice was calculated to convey a false impression. What
the magistrate said was, that it was tha duty of private
individuals to assist in putting down a riot. The right
hon. gentleman then read the concluding observations of
Mr. Knox on the case, in explanation of the phrase con-
tained in the question.
BARRACKS AT NOTTINGHAM.

General PEEL said the idea of erecting cavalry barracks
at Nottingham had been abandoned.

THE GREAT WESTMINSTER CLOCK.--The Journal
of the British Horological Institute says that the President,
in his annual review of their proceedings, stated that " they
had it on the authority of Mr. Ellis, of the Royal Observa-
tory, that there is no clock at Greenwich that keeps time so
well as Mr. Denison's clock in the tower of the Houses of
Parliament." It reports its own rate automatically twice a
day to Greenwich by electric telegraph, a test to which no
other public clock has ever been subjected. Persons taking
the time from it should remember that exact Greenwich
time is indicated by the first stroke of the great hour bells
and also by the first stroke of any of the quarter chimes,
except those at the hour.

ROAD MENDING IN PARIS.—The Pont Royal is
ono of the most frequented bridges of Paris. The number
of vehicles which traverse it at all hours of the day is enor-
mous, and some diffizulty is caused by even a brief inter-
ruption of the traffic during the night. The extent of the
traffic, however, renders necessary frequent repairs to the
road. A day or two since this operation has been carried
out over the whole length of the bridge, and in order to
level and bind together a thick layer of broken granite the
now steam roller, weighing nearly 30,000 kilogrammes,
which has already been employed in other parts of the city,
was brought into use. The operation commenced at 10 o'clock
in the evening, and was continued throughout the night.
In the morning the budge was re-opened for traffic, the
road being sufficiently levelled to allow of vehicles passing
without any inconvenience. The new system of road
levelling is far more rapid and more efficacious than the
old plan of cumbrous rollers drawn by horses.—La France.

ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP T 8.4
HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

An absurd rumour was very prevalent this after-
noon of an attempt to blow up the [louses of Par-,
liament. It appears some foolish fellow, on Aiwa_
day morning, dropped a packet containing a small
quantity of gunpowder near one of the entrances of
the house. The police picked it up, and some mys-
terious penny-a-liner wrote the facts of the ridicu-
lous story to the cheap press so as to enable them
to produce sensation bills.
