• BOARD OF HEALTH BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Sir G. GREY said it was desirable that he •sh°l2ld
then state the objects of this bill. The Board of Health
possessed permanent powers under several Acts e,
Parliament. The first was the Board of Health Ae'
of 1848, and the other the Nuisances Removal and V!
eases Prevention Acts of 1848 and 1854, and Fpecio'
powers by order in council on the sudden appearances
of epidemic in this country, and though peen-lane°
powers were created by these acts, Parliament orl
granted a temporary authority by which their provisi°vf
could be carried out. Last year the present Board °,l
Health was continued till the 29th July, or the !,°„
of the next session of Parliament, when it would COI
ro that without some provision were made the prelt
act would ex.)ire next year as a matter of course.
was, therefore, necessary to make provision this sego° f
for the continuance of the authority of the Board. 'd
Health, who-e powers had been beneficially ilWieleng
to many parts of the country. The Govern°
in considering this question had come to tye
determination that it was not desirable to °opt
tinue the present distinct and separate departeleptd,
of the Board cf Health, with a president at its he
with a seat in that house, but to transfer its powerB,4
the President and Committee of the Council on Bun—.
Lion. This proceeding would be an economical le:
whilst it would secure the present efficiency' of
ciei
board's operation, and as the President of the Cdsci.
had a teat in that house, it would still give to,Per7,
ment that responsibility which hon, members were, ;
desirous of seeing continued, and were navel%
to part with. By the proposed change there. no
be a consideraMe savinir, because the President,
Private Secretary and other officers would be redtle;
and it was hoped that when these departments °lb,
united, it would be possible still further to reduce ;0,
expense of the Board. The arrangement was Pee of
ciliated to meet the views of the House on the gro".l`,le
economy, and providing at least as efficient superin,
dence of the machinery of the Board of Works as et Pro
sent existed. The Government had intended to introdgre,
a bill to amend the act of 1848, but circumstances P,a
vented, for thiseession, that desirable object. He propese",,
now to make this a temporary measure instead if eP.O
manent one, and he asked for the continuance °le
power of the Board of Health for a year longer; or
!be end of the next session of parliament atter. its Tot
sing. That would give the house an opportupiti
considering and determining on next session the proe't,
pericanent measure of the government on this sobkc
On the motion for going into committee,
Mr KNIGHT moved that the bi 1 be cono-ered
this day six months.

Sir d. PECHELL and Mr. PALK opposed
bill.
Mr. COWPER defended the proceedings :of th
0,.
Board of Health, and also the conduct of the G°° 138
rneut in reference to legislation on this subject. 0
expressed his regret that there did not exist so p 0 be
interest in that house on sanitary matters as was t°,ol
found in the country. The advantage of the
Board of Health Act was that where inhabitants "tlii
ill-governed, or notorious jobbing was practised by of
local representative governments, the inhabitants goo
able to call on the Cantral Board for protection. ad
right hon. gentleman quoted a number of figdes, "ft
also read an extract from the Registrar Generaeglrlth
to show that since the passing of the Board of.' 08a"
Act mortality bad greatly decreased in those P, :fo.
where the provisions of the Act had been put in 091
tion. He expressed his surprise that hon. ntso
should be found to oppose the continuance of a In e
that had produced such beneficial results, amongst sy
was the better supply of water to populous' too'
By the operations of this Act, London bad Ili
as pure a supply of ava`er as he thouitb,
it was possible to obtain. It was necessary f°r„tof
wants of the country, and the want and requirumeod,
the advancement of civilization in which were ember'
that a Sanitary Board should exist. :

Sir GEOCGE GREY said that as the oppositiod3o
the Bill appeared to he against its continuance, for 0;10
was said would extend to a period of two years.
ready to alter his proposition, and fix its contino6o,
until the let of September, 1858 ; or if the Hotlee,Ptto

'EN MAIL.—Up to last evening the the

accounts by the c,rresponding mail did not reach Tries
00
till the afternoon of the 28th of July, and it is the B,'tbe
steamer (the Bengal) that will now have perforate° plc
passage from India to Suez. Consequently, tbe °iop
reasons fur expecting an earlier arrival on this 'occOode
consist in the assumption that every effort would be 1°„0i
for increased speed, and that a steamer with Governt°,'"be
messages would at once be sent from Alexandria t° „yr.
telegraph at Cagliari, so as to anticipate by severalb°-
anything tbat could come by other routes. ,„f
