In the House of Commons, on Wedneiday night,
Mr. COWPER moved the second reading of the Yield
Gardens Bill. The object of this Bill is to furnish
the working classes with the means both of employ-
ment and of recreation, and by the agency of the
allotment system to identify, as much as pos-
sible, the interests of the owner of the soil with
those of the occupier. After referring to some por-
tions of the evidence taken before the Allotment
Committee, with a view to show the beneficial change ,
of sentiment wrought on the minds of the operatives
by their becoming possessed of land, the Hon. Gen-
tleman
observed, that unfortunately great difficulty
was found in obtaining land for the use of allotments,
which he attributed to the want of energy and self-
reliance on the part of landed proprietors, who were
generally men very much disposed to be influenced
by their agents and other parties; and though the
system which he proposed would ensure them a good
rent, and tend also to diminish the poor-rate, yet
they evinced little or no disposition to adopt it. The
Hon. Member then proceeded to detail the provisions
of his Bill, which are as follow :—The Bill enacts
that all the powers heretofore usually conferred on
churchwardens, overseers of the poor, &c., shall be
transferred to a new board, called the Garden Board,
their power of purchasing land being alone excepted.
A limit is to be placed to the amount of land to be
appropriated, the proposed average being about a
quarter of an acre for each person, and the benefits
of the system are to be confined to those who are
rated below ten pounds a year. The board is to
consist of five persons, two elected by those rated
above ten pounds, two by those rated below ten
pounds, and the officiating clergyman is to form the
fifth. They are to be elected for three years, and
are authorised to take from the poor-rates the
necessary amount of rating land, there being
inserted in the Bill a compulsory clause for re-
payment. Moreover, they are entitled to get
leases from the Commissioners who have the
controlling power over commons. Mr. COWPER
concluded by observing that he did not care how
much his Bill was changed, " provided it reached its
object,—namely, the giving of a piece of land to
those able and desirous to cultivate it. His only
motive for bringing it forward was the benefit of the
' poorer classes, and the legislation of the present
session held out no prospect of any measure being
passed for their good, though it was known they
were suffering from great poverty." There is un-
happily but too much truth in this last remark. The
session is now fast drawing to its close, and lion.
Members on both sides the House are exhibiting a
very visible impatience to be off to the moors and
elsewhere; and what, let us ask, has been done for
the benefit of the poor agricultural and manufacturing
labourers, during the five months which the House
has already sat ? The answer is soon given. Scarcely
one boon of the slightest consequence has been con-
ferred on them. None of the taxes which press most
heavily upon them have been reduced ; the blessing
of a cheap loaf is still denied them ; and, with the
exception that they can get their currants—which
many of them care nothing about—a little cheaper,
and their coffee also, they are left in precisely the
same state which they were in at the commencement
of the session. To compensate, however, for this
neglect on the part of the Parliament, we must in
justice confess that professions of good will and
sympathy have been showered in abundance upon the
labouring and ill-requited poor; but somehow or
other whenever an opportunity has occurred of ,
realising a few of these numerous honeyed professions,
Hon. Members—more especially those who sit on the
Ministerial side of the llouse—have invariably for-
gotten to avail themselves of the favourable juncture.
As regards Mr. COWPER'S Field Gardens Bill, we
think it likely to be of considerable benefit to those
whose interests are most concerned in it, but the
machinery is somewhat complicated, and will require
to be greatly simplified before the measure can be
brought to work with any efficiency. The amount
of land proposed to be appropriated should also be
enlarged, for surely a quarter of an acre is scarcely
sufficient for the purpose of a workman with a
family ! The allotment should be at least an acre.
ana even more than this would not be undesirable In
cases where the tenant had sufficient means for cul-
tivating it. However, we are not disposed to pick
holes in the Bill, for it has the essence of unquestion-
a'lle good in it, is conceived in a just and kindly
spirit, and is calculated to raise the condition of the
labourer, and increase his sense of self-respect by
furnishing- him with such means of provision as shall
enable him to insist on proper wages, and tend in a
great degree to prevent the painful necessity of his
resorting in age or sickness to the poor-house.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
Daylight View of
LONDON in the OLDEN TIME!
Painted by Denson and Telbin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all
former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-
hib.tion ever witnessed. To view it only at a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the qu et Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on 'Mon:ays, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey,
are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in
doing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.
Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Art, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a matchless
triumph.
The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far
the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.

The debate in the House of Commons on Tuesday
night last, on the Danish claims, was not calculated
to retrieve the character of that assembly from the
fearful disparagement which it has been doomed to
sustain in this session of Parliament. The courageous
integrity—the moral consistency of a legislative body
which voted backwards and forwards on such me-
morable questions as the Factories Labour Regulation
and the British West India Sugar Duties Bills—re-
versing to-day at the instigation (half menace, half
entreaty) of the Minister its deliberate decisions of
yesterday, were again invoked onTuesday. In a House
of 140 Members, exclusive of tellers, a magnificent
majority of roux demonstrated at once the strength
of the Government and the weakness of a case which
68 votes maintained against 72,—these latter includ-
ing the members of the Administration resisting it.
Sir ROBERT PEEL who, like CHARLES DICKENS'S
Pecksniff, had " a duty to perform to his country,"
discharged it with about as much sentimental inanity
and plausible injustice, as his white waistcoated pro-
totype in the novel acquitted his " duty to society" in
dismissing the " claims" of Martin Chuzzlewit the
younger.
The history of these Danish claims is shortly told.
In the month of August, 1807, an English fleet,
commanded by Lord GABBIER, and carrying a large
military force under the orders of Lord CATH-
CART, suddenly appeared off the coast of Den-
mark. Failing a demand addressed through the
British commanders to the Danish Government,
to the effect that they should either deliver up to us
the custody of the Danish Fleet, which we had reason
to believe was, under a secret article of the Treaty of
Tilsit, about to be delivered up by Denmark to
France, to be by that power employed against us,—
or that they should formally deny the existence of any
such article in that treaty;—these terms being refused,
without any declaration of war on our part, hostile
and offensive measures were adopted. Our arma-
ment
bombarded Copenhagen for three days, from the
sth to the 7th of September, and the Danish fleet was
taken by us ; but it was not until the 4th of Novem-
ber, or even later, that England promulgated a decla-
ration of war against the Danish Sovereign. In the
meantime, and for the most part, as regards the
claimants now before Parliament, in the latter end of
August, 1807, reprisals were made, under the au-
thority of the King of DENMARK (who, incensed
at the appearance, in Danish waters, and in a

We shall, to-morrow, demonstrate from the argu-
ments of the Members who supported Mr. CHRISTIE,
the utter futility of the pretext on which this distinc-
tion is attempted to be raised ; and the invincible title
of the claimants to what they seek, if the country be
unwilling to abandon every tittle of its pretensions to
a character for national honour, public faith, and un•
biassed justice.

time—it cannot be disputed—of. yet uncancelled
peace between the two countries, of a powerful
conjoint expedition of British sea and land forces,
who were already committing hostilities on Danish

property) had subsequently recommended his subjects
to take reprisals on British property, and merchan-
dise in the warehouses, or the territory of Den-
mark, or in British shipping in his harbours, or
afloat, and on such shipping wherever they could take
it. He also directed that all book debts, or liabilities
-on account of Danish subjects, to subjects of Great
Britain, should be confiscated. All these reprisals
were taken, to the very considerable loss of many,
and the utter ruin of not a few of our own subjects
trading with, or resident within the kingdom of
Denmark.

Now, what was the case of these subjects as to the
proceedings they had taken in respect of their own
property and interests ? From the 15th of August to
the beginning of December—as they contend—the be-
ginning of November, as Sir GEORGE CLERK affirms—
no declaration of war had been made by us. In either
case, their property was seized in the interval, and
prior to such declaration. From the profound se-
cresy with which Mr. CAZININO had conducted all

MANCHESTER SToCK EXCHANGE, JULY 10.-We have
had a fair amount of business done, and the market remains
in 1807, and reported to have been established by the
steady. Eastern Counties Registered, 134 3 ; Liverpool and
Commissioners, to whom it was referred to examine
Manchester, Quarters, 574; Manchester and Birmingham,

bearing date the 12th May, 1840." It is to be ob-

served that her MAJESTY, in answer to a former Eastern, New, ili; Manchester and Buxton, Bto 9 premium ;
"address" from the Commons, intimated her gra-

cious readiness to proceed to the payment of these Vyre, 191.
claims. On six different occasions, as Mr. Hume
remarked, had these claims been acknowledged by
the House of Commons. While Lord ALTHORP, with
unbounded influence in the Reform Cabinet, was Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, they were affirmed on
a division. Again, on the motion at a subsequent
Period for the appointment of a Commission of
Inquiry, the strenuous opposition of Ministers was
defeated by a majority of thirty-four. Again, io the
year 1838, on a motion for the payment of these
claims, the Government, who fiercely opposed it,
were beaten by a majority of thirty-two-(94 to 62).
In 1841, on a motion that this very class of claims,
now once more before the House, should be com-
pensated, the question was carried in their favour by
a majority of thirty-one-(127 to 96). On the 10th
of June following, their demands being still neglected,
an address to her MAJESTY, undertaking on the part
of the House to make good the amount re
quired for the payment of such demands which were
left still in statu quo, was affirmed by 75 against 61,
and to this address her MAJESTY returned the gra-
cious answer already noticed. But votes of Parlia-
ment, addresses to the Throne, and the solemn pro-
mises of the Sovereign, are not, it appears, under
Sir ROBERT PEEL'S, any more than under former
Governments, to be allowed to override the miser-
able haggling of some official red-tapery cun-
ning, which still contrives to mock the united
voice of the people and the Legislature, and to
pass by unnoticed the dignified acquiescence of
her MAJESTY in the recorded wishes of the
great council of the nation. The unhappy
claimants still defrauded, still spurned, from the doors
of the Treasury, which neither the authority of Par-
1t.....t, ....r the undertaking of the Du vri rig'', appear
to be powerful enough to unbar against one of the
most sordid-spirited set of officials who ever conducted
the government of this country-were compelled, on
the 26th of June, last year, to bring their case again
before the House. By the PEEL whip, a majo-
rity was at last flogged up of 15 against these claim-
ants, and thus, after three or four successive victories,
they suffered a defeat by the accession of the mere
mercenaries of office to the ranks of the Ministerial
majority. Mr. HUMS undertook to show, that deduct-
ing these, the majority on that occasion would have
been again in favour of the claimants. On Tuesday
last, as we have said, the claimants were worsted-if
worsted such a mere chance result can be called, by a
Ministerial majority of Foua.
Let us now see on what principle her MAJESTY'S
present Government are content to pursue their piti-
ful game of throwing over, by all manner of quibbling
and management, the just demands of four-times
solemnly recognised creditors of the State. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer says the law officers
of the Crown have determined, that " under the or-
dinary usages of war, as established between civi-
lised nations, these claims cannot be acceded to."
That " it is the constant practice of war, that ships
taken at sea are considered in a different light from
ships seized in harbour and property taken on land,
for, when taken in harbour, they are exempt from
confiscation ; but this is not so at sea."

GUANO ISLANDS AND COASTS.-Mr. G. P. Payne,
of Liverpool, has just published a chart of the world
on Mercator's projection, exhibiting the certain and
probable Guano islands and coasts. They appear to
be very numerous, and are scattered chiefly along
the equinoctial line and between the Tropics. The
chart will be found very useful for those who now
speculate in this manure, which is daily becoming an
article of great commercial importance, and is found
to be so necessary in agricultural improvements.
lIUNGERFORD MARK ET SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—
The operation of laying the chains has now been car-
ried on for some days with great activity. Four
different gangs of workmen are employed in wooden
frames, called cradles. 'They commenced at the top
of each pier on Monday, two of them laying and
rivetting the chains towards the centre, and
the other two those which are to be fixed
on the piles erected on each bank of the
river. The latter appear to have completed their
part of the work, and the centre gangs are now within
a few feet of each other. If we may judge from what
has been already accomplished, the bridge, though it
will, to a certain extent, obstruct the view, will have
a very graceful appearance.

"'FATAL ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN MDERAIOT, LATE
OF THE lint FOOT. —On Tuesday an inquest was held
before Mr. Higgs, Deputy-Coroner for Westminster, at the
Unicorn, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, on view of the
body of Captain John M'Dermot, aged fifty, who died at his
late residence in Southampton-street, Strand, on Saturday
last, from the effects of injuries received under the following
circumstances :—Mr. R. Jones, surgeon, Strand, said that en
Thursday evening last he was called upon to attend the de-
ceased, he having on that evening been brought from Ripley,
in Surrey. The deceased told him that on the Monday or
Tuesday evening previous he had been thrown from the roof
of the Independent Portsmouth coach. He was not able to
rise, and was carried into an hotel, where he was attended
by two medical men. lie complained of severe pain in his
left hip, but the medical men could not detect any disloca-
tion or injury to the bone. Witness attended him, and on
Saturday, by his order, he was removed in "the most easy
manner from the basement •to the upper story. He was
scarcely laid upon the bed before a change came over him,
and he died, in half an hour. His death was so sudden that
witness thought he had died in consequence of a rupture of a
vessel in the chest, but on a post mortem examination he
found the cause of death to arise from effusion of veinous
blood in the abdomen, a large internal vessel being ruptured.
This, no doubt, was caused by the fall. He told witness that
the coach was overturned. James Cross, driver of the Chi •
chester coach (the statement of the deceased with respect to
its being the Portsmouth Independent being erroneous)
stated, that on Tuesday last he was driving the coach up to
London, the deceased being an outside passenger. When on
arriving at Baine's-hill, near Cobham, the staple of the near
bar broke. The leader then ran round in front to the other
leader and caused the coach to run up a bank. It overturned,
and the passengers were thrown off. The deceased's lady was
inside the coach at the time. It was purely an accident.
Verdict—" Accidental death."
METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—TiIe extensive
street from Long-acre to Piccadilly is making rapid progress,
and two intervening houses having been pulled down, there
is now a clear opening from Leicester-square to Coventry-
street, the completion of the line. Other improvements are
in, contemplation here, amongst which is that of building on
the freehold land forming the square in the centre. This has
fer some time past been in a most neglected state, the sub-
scriptions of the inhabitants being far short of the sum re-
quisite to keep it in proper repair; nor are these likely to be
Increased when one side will be the line of an extensive traffic,
The large site of ground on which the hotel stood, still re.
Mains unappropriated, and the square has lone lost all at-
tractions fin. business, or as the resort of fashlen, for which it
was once celebrated. • '
• WORCESTER AND BIRMINGHAM CANAL.--The
yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Worcester ancl ming.ham Canal Company was held et Worcester on Tues-
day. The repose gave general satisfaction, and st dividend
of
I/, 10a. 04. was declared.
