under what head he was to look for a statement of
the amount paid. into the Exchequer on account of
these grants. He supposed it was included under
some particular head : but he thought it would be
better to have it stated separately, as it was no more
than a temporary resource. He would be glad to
know under what head lie was to look for thcse• sums.

was not stated in the returns. In most of the chari-

Sir JOHN IS..`EVPORT th.tz the progress of
a contaoier.:3 disease in a country of such importance
as het...rid—a chuntry which contai....t...ieteeri Mil-
lions of square acres, tril-not lass thss. six millions
of inhabitants, was a subject which strnr.;,:y
I.ir the attention of Parliament. The suo:;:ct was
Lnot merely important with a view to put an end to
the progress of the disease at present, but also to
pr vent its recurrence. With this view, it was his
U..ention, pursuant to his notice, to move for the
appointment of a Committee to inquire ia‘o the sub-

the small town of Boyle 801 patteni.s ..__ ea ad-
mitted within five months. It gave him much satis-
faction to refleet-that he had been the first perßin to
propose to the Legislature the establishment. of Fevei
ospitals. He had no dtubt that the labours of the
'Committee would skew that one great and efficient
cause of the extcat of the fever, among the lcwcr
orders, was the want of.employment regular and
productive. It would be for the Committee to can-
sider what were the best means Of providing a per
inanent remedy for this permanent evil. Ow! great
means of relief would be to extend the establishment
of Fever Hospitals. lie could not omit to notice
wiat gratitude the- great efforts made by the overn
ment of Ireland, to restrain the ravages of NGs dread-
-
ful calamityr-(hear, Itear).--He a not an:icipatc
any opposition to the motion which he meant to pro-
Hepos concluded 'bymovirtg, "That a Corn
mime ba.trepointed to inquire into the state of Ire-
' liad, with rife:met to • the.prevalente of the Fever,
and to inquireinto the best attests foi the remedy
land prevention of this calamity." ,
1 Mi, PEEL did.'nce rise' to offer any opposition to
the mafiosi. but forthe more gratifying purpose of.:
Secoading-it. ••On a-anbjeet.of such importance, het
thought the' Hoist migltt Ise Bei/ll:aisle have such
information. as Ms-official situation had put hiin In I
possession of, resp• cells the origin, progress, and
extent of this-dreadful- calamity. Without going into
those - mare minute particulars which would more
properly be laid before the Committee, he would con-
tenthionelf, in the facts which he was now about to
lay hef4e the House, with referring to the Medical!
Report tnade:to the Governmeat from those parts of
-Ireland where the disease had been most prevalent:l
It was in the month of September last that the
disease assumed a peculiarly alarming character, and
attracted the more close attention of -Government.—
At that-period he thought it his duty to take the opi-
nion of the most eminent medical men as to its origin.
extent. and progress. In consequence, he received
report; from tie four Provinces .of the state` of the
fever in each. From these it appeared that it pre-
vailed to the greatest extent in Ulster. As to' .he
origin-of the disease, all the medical me* concurred
in ascribing it to the-following causes:—first, to the
extreme poverty of the 'lower orders ; next, to the
scarcity and ball quality of the provisions on which
they rahsiseedt and then,. to the depression of mind
occasioned by the want Of employment, and the mi-
serable prospect before them.. In addition to these.
there wore Ogler aggravating circumstances: There
bad been a very Wet season, which -had not only very
much detericirated the miality of that species of food
on which the lower classes in Ireland principally de-
pend, but sthe.preventecl them from laying in feel,
which wat almost as essential to their health and sub-
sistence as food: These causes all concurred to pro-
chace this dreadful disease. Many of the accounts
which he had received attributed- the spreadins of
the contagion to two other causes, namely, tht im-
mense quantity of wandering beggars, and the prac-
tice, so universal in Ireland, of assembling in great!
numbers at funerals. He was sure th't House would
feofthat it was a lamentable—at least that it was an.
affecting circuntstance—that one of the causes of the
progress of this disease was that hospitable and kindly
disposition, which, u adeterred by the dar.ge t' of con.'
tagion, made them refuse to shut their doors to the
, houseless 'wanderers, or to withhold from those sites
which superstition and the custom of their forefathers
made them regard as a pious duty to the dead—
(hear, /lear)--alereminded him of a passage where the
Roman poet (Lucretius), describing. the plague at
Athens, gave as the last and mast conclusive proof of
the terrors and mortality of the disease, that among
a people remarkable for the superstitious regard with
which they performed their religious ceremonies for
the dead, even these rites were disregarded : 1
" Nee mos ille sepulturm remanclsat in urbe, .
4' Quo prius hic populus salvor consuerat bumari."
The returns in his possession shewcd that the month
of September was the time when the fever began toll
be most peculiarly characterized by its malignancy
'file number of patients admitted to the Fever Hos-
pital of Dublia, from the Ist of September to the'
28th of February, was 7,096. The number of pa-,
dents in that Hospital, on the 28th of February, was,
1,001; whereas the numhcr on the Ist of September
was only 918. The number of admissions was greatly I
increased from the 28th of February to the 14th of,
March, and on that latter day the number in the
Hospital was 1,074. The total number of deaths in!
the Hospital of Dublin was 45G ; the proportion of
the deals to the admissions being as 1 to 16. The
average of the daily admissions we; 39. The pro-
portion of the deaths to the admissions varied in dif-
ferent hospitals.: where greatest it was as one to 13 :
the smallest was in the proportion of one to 19. • He'
thought he was not too sanguine when he considered
that the calamity had reached its worst, and v7a.sll
now rapidly diminishing. Since the 14th of March
there had been a. very considerable abatement both
as to the extent and the peculiar charactetistics of
thelever. The grounds on which 'he hoped that
there was now a great abatement, Were not only the
Returns which he had received from various parts of
the country, but the documents 'kept- at Dublia, the
authenticity of which could 'not he doubcd. The
number of patients in Dublin' Hospita! on the 14th
March was, as he had stated, 1074; but on the 14th
of April (the present month) it was only 850, being
a diminution of of 224. The proportion of deaths as
compared with the admissions had also diminished:,
In one Hospital the propertion was as low as one to'
82, though the general average was as one -..0 20,1
The total number of patients cured and discharged:
within the last month, in Dublin Hospital, was 1829,
and the number of deaths was 89. But it was no:
only in Dublin that the abatement had taken place.
In the North of Ireland the fever was much subdued,
and in the Western districts the decrease was still
IMore considerable. He was in possessionati returns
from the Medical Superintendents in Ate various
towns which proved this; but he would net trouble
the House with these docpments, as it would be More
proper to prdducethem to the Committee. It gave
him *midi satisfaction that the Righinifonourable'
Baronet had not framed his motion so as to makeit
in.the first place point to any particular plan for the
employment of the poor as a remedy for this cola-

6,_% tlairiteach of any ' it ern * the Eseelttip
'. ,:. ent could adopt, It was therefore cetttliily
ninth titer., in the present stage at least, to avoid
allidiate:pl that parVorthe subject. Many peer
postlst had been made for the employment of the.
poor in public works.t and, no doubt, in that way
some 'relief, was to. be affoided. But then, with, a
view'reite extent of the evil, the. utmost that, coulitl
'se Rorie in' that way was but little. Other suggoo.
-dons of a nature still more objectionable, were coa-
tinUl:lly making to the Governme..., especially by
marinfactnters, who being. distressed by the unfa-
vourable state of the market for the. particular sort
'ofgooa s'whicli they made, applied. to Government
forioan td enable them to carry on their manuac-
, tines, and etettiaite in employment. the.many persoas
V4O wrought under them. With app,ications of this
kind. it was obviously impossible to comply. For
unless there was a consurnpwin adequate to the sup-
ply of the particular species of xnahufacture, it wthas
quite clear that it would only be ag7ravating e
difficulty by increasing the supply from the mAnu..
(=Wier. In short, the difficulties from the vat ious
remedies proposed were endless. But.tilis part of
the subject wOuld, to a certain 'went, can within
the consideration of the Committee. He would,
' therefore, not trouble the House farther, but content
himself with seconding the motion of the Right Ho-
nourable Baronet—(bear, hear, hear.)
Mr. BENNET wished to draw the attention of the
House to the alarming progress which Fever ba I
lately made among the lower. orders in London. It
.was certainly matter of surprise, eta; there was no
institution for the reception of patients labouri.lg
under the various kinds of fever. The House would
learn with surprise, that. 800 patienti had already
been received i.ito an institution lately established in
the Metroi.olis by private stibsc.iption. Any man
acquainted with the Hospitals ia other countries.
particularly in-Paris and Vienna, must be aware of
the inferiority of the Hospitals of this country. He
hoped that the attention of the House would be par-
ecolarly called to the state of the Metropolis, with
eeference to the prevalence of Fever. It was true.
that Government hal . .rdered that 10001. should be
applied to the establishment of a Fever Hospital, bu.
this sum was quite insufficient.
"Mr. WILBERFORCE observed, that the sum of
1000/. was certainly not sufficient. The subject was
one of-great importance, and called for the -closest
attention of Parliament and the Government: The
prevalence of fever in the metropolis wts a fit subject
for the appointment of a separate Committee.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, it was certainly true that
in foreign countries Hospitals were much better re..
mula-ted than in this country, but then it was to be.
0
considered that in other countries Hospitals were
supported by the Governments.' This was the only
ceu.lt-y in which funds to -a vety .large extent were
prosoided by private subscription for the maintenance
of Public Hespi..als.
'Mr. PHILLIPS. gave an account of the good
effects which had resulted from the establishment of
Prier Hospital% at Maachester, by volaotary sub-
scription. He thoug,in it necessary that thweenment.
should afford liberal assistance to form a large esta-
blishment for the same purpose. With a view to in-
quiry, he thought it would be much more e9itven'ent
that a separate Committee should be appoiated to 'I
inquire into the state of the Fever in the Metropolis.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY thought it absolutely
necessary that a Committee should be appoirred to
inquire into the state of Fever in London. Lit cool 1,
from his own knowledge, confirm all the statements
which had been made, relative to the prevalence 01
Fever in the Hospitals ; only that he understood it
had very rarely been fatal to the lower orders.—
Several meetings' had been held for the purpose of
eso•Mishing Fever Hospitals in London, but they
had been found almost entirely to fail.. Government
certainly ought to extend their aid on such an occa-
sion to a much great,..r extent than 1030/.
Sir JOHN. NEWVORT replied. He mentiened
an instance of a house in Wa;e;ford, which, for the
last forty years, had not been free from fever.
The Motion was then agreed to.
FEVER IN THE METROPOLIS,
Mr. BENNET moved that a Committee be ape
pointed to etamine into the s-,ate of Contagion,. Fever
in the Metropolis, and to inquire into the state of
Institutions established for the cute and prevention
of that disease.—This Motion was al,,eeti to.
St..tVE TRADE.
Mr.WILDEItFORCE rose, pursuant to his notice,
to move for the production of sonic Papers relative
to the Slave Trade. He thought it would be ad-
mitted that the shutting out any additional supply
of Slaves was the best mode of et:swing an inipt ove-
went in the condition of the Slave.:. Nothing was
so likely to contribute to the impruveruent of the
physical and Moral condition of that class of persons
us to make the Colonies dependent on an internal
`supply. It was with this view that his Honourable
Friend had introduced his Bill to make it a felony
to import Slaves. It was on the same principle that
two years ago he had introduced a Bill for the Ile-
gEtration of Slaves. Perhaps he had been thought
unreasonably jealous on this subject; hut when i..
weekconsideted that it was before the introduction of'
his lonowable Friend's Bill, the universal feeling in
the Colonies, that it _would be impracticable, by
means of any naval or military force, to prevent ...le
illicit introduction of Slaves, and that those very
pet sons now opposed the Registration Bill, on the
~Iround the: by means of a naval force the illicit ia-
troduction o: Slaves might be totally prevented
and when, on the other hand, it was considered th..t
all historians and unbiassed persons agreed that re-
gistration was the only effectual mode of providing
i aczainst the illicit traffic, it would be allowed that
the force of the objections made by the Colonists to
the measure was not great. It had been found that
the mere recommendation of the measure of Re'-is-
tration .rein this side of the water was utterly w‘.lll-
- effect. This had unfortunately too often been
the case with recommendations from the same quar-
ter, for the,purpose of reforming the condition of
the Slaves. N'slen the papers were placed bcfcre
the House, he trusted that they would be conri,lered
with all the attention' which they deserved. It was
the duty of the House, after having ackaowledgzA
more than half a million of beie<-,s a; it 6 fellow
