SANITARY STATE OF BRISTOL.

Mr. 11. BERKELEY wished to know what progress
had bee❑ made by the Board of Health to bring Bristol
under the operation of the Health of Towns Act?
Mr. BOUVERIE replied that inspectors had been
sent to Bristol, and upon their report a. provi-
sional order would be made, which would be sub-
mitted to the approval of the local body; but there
was no reasonable probability of Bristol being dealt with
by Act of Parliament this session.
ACCIDEN CS IN MINES AND COLLIERIES.

Mr. HUME presented a petition from Ashton•under
Lyne signed by between 6,000 and 7,000 per-
sons employed in mines and collierie9, pray-
ing that inspectors might be appointed to
inquire into and report upon the state of
mines and collieries. The Hon. Member took the op.
portunity of asking the Secretary for the Home Depart-
ment whether there was any probability of the Bill
which had been introduced into the House of Lordzi,
being passed this session?
Sir G. GREY said the Bill which he had prepared
was read a second time in the House of Lords the other
day, and he hoped it would be brought cl,wn for the
consideration of this Hotter, at an early period.
EXPORTS.

In reply to Mr. ANS'ITY,
Mr. LABOUCHERE said a return had been
prepared by the Board of Trade with regard to
foreign tariffs, and to the tariffs of our own
colonies, and the reason it had not been laid on
the table was that some of the colonial returns had not
been received. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs had
sent instructions to our consuls abroad to send copies of
all foreign tariffs to the Foreign-office.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
In reply to Mr. ADDERLEY,
Mr. HAWES said that according to the letters patent
both Chambers in the Cape of Good Hope would be
elective; but he could not say what construction lawyers
might put on the Charter.

PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.
Mr. E WART, after presenting petitions in favour of
the abolition of the punishment of death from
Liverpool, Brighton, Shrewsbury, Sunderland, Glas-
gow, Colchester, Edinburgh, King's Lynn, the
Liverpool Peace Society, and other places, proceeded to
bring on his motion fur leave to abolish the
punishment of death. He said he assuredly should
not again have brought forward that motion, if it here
not for the increasing conviction in his own mind of
the
.justice and expediency of the measure he advo-
cated, and unless he had been convinced that there was
an increasing public opinion on this subject through-
out the country, and that that public opinion con-
tinued to receive accessions from day to day.
On former occasions this question had been
argued by. figures, which had been triumphantly ap-
pealed to on both sides. He believed that on both sides of
this question it was a drawn battle; but be thought,
on the whole, the weight of statistics was on the side
of the abolitionists, and that the mitigation of the
punhiiracnt of eicatL, whemor it had taken place, had

ith
been attended not only without danger, but also 's
security to society. On this occasion he should
take no statistical view of the subject. He should endeei"..
your to show thet the present system of retaining the pue
nishinent of death was inconsistent with that great object
of all punishment—namely, the certainty of punisheeent:
which was laid down by Blackstone as being the proper
principle of all punishment, and with which no punish-
mentt.

Mr. HUME seconded the motion. It was in their se:
