LONDON, TUESDAY EVEN IN Gt J ULY 28, 1857.

Beard of Health under this bill to the Council of Rd a-
cation a saving of 8,000/./or 4,000/. would be effected.
(Hear.)
Mr. AYRTON contended that bad local self-govern-
ment was better than the best central; government that
could be found. He thought that their legislation on
this subject was going beyond the most objectionable
system of foreign goverments of centralisation. Go-
vernment appeared, in reference to the Board of Health
question, to •look upon the people of this country
as an aggregate of children who .required their foo•i,
physic, water, ventilation, even warmth, smoke, and
ss to be watched over. He deprecated this in-
terference of the Government in the ordinary actions of
life, which, he said, was repugnant to the feelings of the
peapl... By continuing the present act till Sept., 1858,
the whole subject would be left open for discussion next
Fession. It might be continued 'at as little expense as
under the bill before the house.

Sir W. lI.E.ITHCOTE urged on the Government
to propose the continuance of the present act, because
the house ought not to be relied on to acquiesce on
the transfer of the power of the General Board of Health
to the Privy Council, which was looked upon by the
house as the most objectionable part of the proposed
change in reference to this Board. • .

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to the proposition of
the Home Sect etaty, front the belief that legislation
was not necessary this Session. "He was at a loss to know
what the Board of Health had to do, and he asked its
members in the house for an explanation. It appeared
to be d reiuge for the destitute in the changes made by
the Government. The hon. gentleinad referred to the
Brussels conference held last year, which was attended by
the BJEk d, and hurnorausly referred to Mr. Ward's state-
ment, which was cheered by the President of the Board of
Health, wherein he advised c"Utint-ntal Governments. to
pro vile Bditids of Ileedtb, urging in support of it that
not only had mortality decreased 50 per cent, in Eng-
land, but the fecundity of the land had been quadrupled.
(Laughter.)‘ Ae called upon the President of the Board
to stand on the table— (laughter) —and explain What he
did far his 2,0001. a-year salary. He looked upon the
where 'system as a robbery. •
Lord EBRINGTON spoke in support of the con-
tinuance of the General Board of Health.• . He thought
it unimportant whether it should be continued as a sepa-
rate department• or transferred to the Privy Council.
He called on the house not to give up the general prin.
ciple hare involved in consequence of the sneers of those
who often by their conduct were unconsciously acting as
the most efficient instruments of interested and jobbing
parties. He bore testimony to the great benefit that had
resulted from the establishment of this board.
After a few remarks from Sir M. FAUQUiIARBON,
Mr. HENLEY said he was in favour of the continu
once of the present act till September, 1358. As the
right hon. gentleman the President of the Board of Edu-
cation was to discharge the duties of the Board of Health,
under the proposed change, he (Ur. Henley) thought hal

The house vt ent into committee on the bill as a canti•
nuance bill till September, 1858,
On claufie 1, transferring the powers of the Board to
the Privy Councl, •
Sir G. PECHELL said tLat he hoped the Home
Secretary, af er the discussidu that had taken place,
would not press this bill, but withdraw it, and bring in
a continuance bill, retaining the General Board of
ffeAth in a senarate depurtnymt.
Sir G. GREY paid be considered the division was in
favour et th, transfer.

Sl3 00NiR---;uPported the clause. It was only
for a limited period, and he thought it was desirable to
MVO 3,0001. or 4,0001. if possible. _ _

Mr. AYR fON said th-e nature of the division was
not proptey understood by many hon. members. He
propscd that the committee should divide. on this
clau4e.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE repeated his objection to any
legislation on this subject, and said that he thought the
(xtinction of tae board would be a gain to the country.
He condemned a continuance bid being pr,posed on
t'Ais subject, and withheld in reference t) Cirrupt Prac-
tices Act. lie asked the bon. member opposite (Mr.
Spoi,ner) how the proposed change would effect a saving
of 3,000/. or 4,0001.
Mr. SPOONER—They (her Moje,Ay's Ministers)

state so.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—Do you believe all they tell
you ? (Laughter) Do you believe all the treasury tell
3 ell about May nooth (Renewed laughter.) The hon.
gentleman, in entering on a consideration of the proposed
charge and saving to be ellectesl, said that in the first
place they were told that there Was not to be a president
at a salary of 2,0001. a-yeai:
Mr. I.‘IONSELL said there was no president of the
Board of Health.
DUNCOMBE —Then the secret's out. The
right hon. gentleman the member fur Limerick had let
the cat out of the bag. (Laughter.) If there was no
president, he was at a loss to see where the proposed
saving was to coma from, and if they had gone on
without a president for some time past, it was evident
there was no necessity for the continuance of the presi.
dent. He shovld divide the committee on the clause.
After a discussion in which Sir W. Jolifs, Sir. G.
Grey, Mr. Ayrton, Newdegate, and Sir W. Heath-
co e took par-,
Mr. DUNCOMBE said he would moderate his oppo-
sition to legislation on this subject, if the Government
would take a continuance bill till September 1858, with.
out transferring the board to the Pt ivy Council.
Sir G. GREY assented to the course proposed, and
the chairman reportcd pro'gress. Sir G. Grey stating
that he would withdraw this measure and introduce one
