CHOLERA.

Colonel SIBTHORP rose to move for the Returns re-
loiny to cholera in London, W-stminster, and the Borough
of Southw irk, of which he had given notice.
Mr P. THOMPSON saw no objection to the returns
being 'aid upon the table.
Sir R. PEEL said. that a great advantage would re-
sult from the Board of Health recurring to the daily report,
of cases which they had lately issued.
Mr. P. THONION said the returns of the Gallant
Colonel opposite would extend to a general report of the
number of ca-es that had h .ppened in London, Wes'.
winster, and Southwark. but woul•l not go to a daily pub-
I cation. Upon this subject he might state, that althoth:b
reports were current as to the prevalence in the metropolis
of cholera ; having made every inquiry into the aishj,et, he
found the arcoun's were greatly ixaggerated. From the
best informati' n which could he gathere 4, it did n-t appe it
that there had been more than from thirty to forty-eight
cases occurring daily, while within the whole district
of London and its neighbourhood the average number of
deaths was from 20 to 30. If it were possible, in conse-
quence ni the daily publication of accounts, to draw peo.
p,e's at•ention advantaer-ousl) to the cholera, if cue won't]
then• by be taken, or any means furnished, which
would tend to diminish its pr valence, undoubtedly it
would he moat desirable to furnish them ; but on the other
hnd great disadvantage might ariue. The port of Lou-
don would at once be plat-d, in reference to a I the southern
pats of Eutope, in qu ,rantine. If any disease of that
sort existed in the port of London. undorr•tedly it would
be improper to conceal it, but within the last I itir or five
days lie had r-reived an at-count, from which it
appeared tl,at not one single case of cholera had occurred
in the hospital-ship, nor in any part contiguous to the po t.
It ti d not appear that any real b-netit would resul., whilst
numerous disadv.n•ages would acciue irons the publica-
tion of d iiy reports. If any G,ritlein in wished any in-
f irmation on the subject, the hoard of H••altlr would he
most happy 4t all times to answer all questions he wa•
de•ir us to ask.

GOVERNORSHIP OF LONDONDERRY FORT.
Mr. G. DAWSI)N wished to c,II the attention of the
H, use to the ss,l,j.ct of the sa'art paid to the Governor iii
Londonderry Fort, 'or doing nothing whatever. The mo-
tion wil ch he intended to .u'tmit to the House on this
solnect was—" T at an address be presented to his Ma
je,ty to release the Irish Society from hat past of th is
Charter, which nidiaes them to pay 21101. a year, and the
rents of certain lands, to the Governor of Londonderry
and Culmore Forts, on condition of their appying those
SUMS to the building of a stone bridge over the river Foyle,
or a y other imorovement in that district." At prsaant,
the Governor of Londonderry and Cu{more Forts, who h ,si
teal v nothing to do for the office was an tntire sinecure,
re eived Isis salary partly from the Crown. and partly flints
the Irish Society. He received 318/ a year of the public
money by annual vote if th it Histi.e. 2001. a year Irmo
the I. isli Society, and he was also inveat,ll by the Irish
5.0e1.-ty with the property of certain I ,n,ls about Culmore,
producing an annual income of irons 600/. to 700/. ; so
that the whole of t-is income amounted to vet y nearly
1,200/. 4 year. Such being the case, he (Mr Div/pion)
prooosed to approp.iate the money now paid to the
holder of this sinecure offive, to the purpose of de-
frayieg she expense of building a stone bridge over the
river Foyle. He could not imagine what objection could
be mad, to this 'notion, except that it m ght b
uruz• d th it the aholirion of this sinecure would be taking
aw ty a thean4 of rewarding such wen as had distinguished
th-mselves in the military service of their country,—
Thr ugh he admitted that there was so use weight in this
o'j c•ioo, sti.l the people had a just right to expect that
the money should be employed for toe advantage and
lien fit of the district, in preference to being paid to any
cot r. however distinguished or tneritorious. The Noble
Lord opposite (Lord Ishorp) had pledge'' himself to the
also ition of .11 sinecures, anl he was now called upon, in
fulfilment of Ilia own pls dge, to do away with this sinecure
offs,-•. He did not know how the Hon. Member helsind
him (Mr. Home) would vote ; for he hail confe-sed, that
on the division on the Russian loan, he would vote that
'• black was white."—( Hear, and laughter.) But he sup-
po.ed that he should have the support of the other Hon.
.Menther for Middlesex (Mr. Byng). for he did not believe
that th it Hon. M mher had solicited Government to give
this sinecoresi u.sion to his Gallant Relative.
e •a -,:,1_ that it was true that he had
he II trl never expressed an opinion that those offices wnicti
aff 'riled the means of rewarding distinguished and uteri•
torissua military officers were useless sinecures.—( Hear,
hear.) The granting of such situations to undeserving
it ei,visivals tv not cer ainly to he justified ; but he thought
that they were, when properly disposed of, most useful and
b neficial.—(Hear, hear.) He had no doubt that the
present motion would be very popular with the Corpora-
tion of Derry. They would, no doubt, be highly pleaerl
to be relieved from the payment which they were hound to
mike to the Governor of Londonderry Fort, but he thought
that the House would be ofupinion, when they recol:ected
all the circumstance!' of the loan of mots y which was made
to the corporation of Derry for building a bridge over the
river Foyle, that that corporation hail not any very strong
claims nn their consideration.— (Heir, hear.) He should
hardly hr,v.- believsd it possi'de th .t the Right Hoe. Gen-
t eman (Mr. Dawson) would, in his peculiar situ aims,
have stood Ira in th ,t H use and made the present propo

Ireland ; and he could not avoid ag in expressing his as-
tosii-liment th.ut tt e Right Hon. Gentleman should have
pot him-- If forward in the tria'ter.—(llear.) It was not
a public hen fit that was sought to be obtained, but only
the advantage of a particular district arid town, and in his
opinion it was impossible for the House to support the pro-
posi,isin.—( 11-ar, hear )
31e. IlUalE had heard with great regret the statement
mole by the Norde Lord, that such places as the one under
diseussion ought not to be abolished. How could any re-
duction in the expenditure of the country he effect-d, un-
less the expenses of the military establishments were cut

Mr. BYNG -aid, that the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
D swson) was quite right in stating that he had not ap-
plied to give this sinecure office to his iur..ther ; though,
had he fdlowed the Right Hon. Gentleman's advice,
which he was not in the habit of doing, he would have

tia.an had frequently told him out of the House, that he

(Hear, and latLhter.)
Mr. Fa NE supported the motion.

Aldermen VENABLES contended that the bridge
ov r the F..yle was an ohj,ct of great importance, and
tat (1 that he would vo,e for the inot,on.

Sir H. HARDINGE expressed his surprise that his
Right Honourable Fitend, who had supported him
throueli thick and thin n hilt in office, should bring
forward a motion that was Uppo-rd to the policy by which
his conduct had Always been reeulited. It would be esta-
bltsliiiie a mist uncoustirution 1 la everli-nt, to teach officers
to look to t is House for reward in-te id of to the Crown.
After a few words from Sir 31. %V. RIDLEY, Mr. Al
derinin WOOD, and Sit R. FERGU3SON,
Alr. G. DAWSON said that he mould not divide the
House

The motion wag thn negatived.

surer of Ireland, to the Government, had all been paid up.
_c Hear, hear.)
The next items were a sum of 5.1251. for printing pro-

Mr. HUME said that in this grant was included the
stint of 1.600/ , paid to the Recorder of Dublin, in addi-
tion (as we understood) to 1,200/. paid him by the Cor-
poration of that city. As he understood that the Recorder
w.. 4 not bound to attend to his duties in person, he did not
think the HOLM w.s b.,und to pay him. He did not
thir,k the Hon. Recorder could be in his place in that
11.,5e, and di Cu arge his duties as Recorder a, the same
time. He should therefore InGee as an amendment, that
the eross sum he reduced by the amount of the su:n p id
to the Recorder.

Mr. HUNT ‘iip-orted the amendment.
Lord INGESTRIE said, tint hi+ Hon. Colleague had
