Lord STANLEY brought under the notice of their lord-

Mr. Bulwer and the Duke de Sotomayer, in Spain. Of
course the blame was laid upon Lord Palmerston.

HOUSE OF COMMONS

MONDAY

Lord J. RUSSELL stated that in the clause of the Public
health Bill, which constituted the superintending board, the
Government intended to introduce an important alteration.
Instead of a paid commission, he proposed that the Chief
Commissioner of Woods and Forests should be the Pre-
sident of the Board, and that there should be only two
others, and those unpaid commissioners.
Mr. SPOONIIR admitted that this was a great improve-
ment in the bill, but regretted that Lord John Russell had
left the obnoxicats centralization principle in full force ;
and to that principle he had the most decided objection.
The Board of'Health would still retain its•oontrol over the
rights of towns.; and he protested againstlhe interference
of Government in the local administration'of our corpo-

rate and municipal boroughs.
Mr. SLANE.Y-said that drainage could never be effectual
until there was a good supply of water; and in many of
the large towns such a supply of water was:absolutely de-
nied to the poor at present. This bill ,would give them
that supply of water, and was, therefore, deserving of sup-
port. He was cot-minced that if the House consented to

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNDAy,

Lord J. RUSSELL stated that in the clause of the Public
Health Bill, which constituted the superintending board, the
Government intended to introduce an important alteration.
Instead of a paid commission, he proposed that the Chief
Commissioner of Woods and Forests should be the Pre-
sident of the Board, and that there should be only two
others, and those unpaid commissioners.
Mr. SPOONER admitted that this was a great improve-
meut in the bill, but regretted that Lord John Russell had
left the obnoxious centralization principle in full force ;
and to that principle he had the most decided objection.
The Board of Health would still retain its control over the
rights of towns ; and he protested against the interference
of Government in the local administration of our corpo-
rate and municipal boroughs.
Mr. SLANEY said that drainage could never be effectual
until there was a good supply of water; and in many of
the large towns such a supply of water was absolutely de-
nied to the poor at present. This bill would give them
that supply of water, and was, therefore, deserving of sup-
port. He was convinced that if the House consented to
go into committee, it would be able to render this bill an
efficient instrument for improving the condition of hun-
dreds of thousands of our fellow-men.

Mr. C. PEARSON objected to this bill, because it placed
the time-honoured institutions of this country, like
ricketty children, in the go-cart of Government superin-
tendence. It was an extraordinary circumstance that
Scotland, Ireland, the metropolitan boroughs, and the
city of London, were exempt from its regulations; and he
suspected that they were exempted now to be sacrificed
hereafter, when isolated.

Lord ASHLEY gave Government credit for the 1-mess
with which it had faced the difficulties of their case ; but
he also told Ministers that their measure was susceptible
of improvement.
After some further discussion, in which several hon.
members took part, the House then went into committee,
and the rest of the evening was spent in discussing the
clauses of the bill.

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. MAY

We had rather above the usual average number of Cattle and
Sheep. Heavy, coarse, and inferior kinds of Beef were nearly
28. under last week ; but mutton firm. Beef rated from 425. to
525. 6d. ; mutton, 6d. to Bd. per lb. ; Veal, 73d. The supply of
Pigs small; prices, 465. to 50s. per cwt. The difficulty of cu-
ring during this warm wea►her being great, small kinds are in
demand, from 15s. upwards.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MAY 12.

The accounts received from America, as well as from the
Continent, this week, being considered less satisfactory, toge-

buying so freely as for some time past. The market has been
heavy for all descriptions, and for all qualities under fair, quo-
tations are reduced -id. per lb. Exporters have taken 1350
American and 50 Egyptian.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THIIRSDAY.

After the presentation of petitions on the subjects before
or likely soon to be brought under the consideration of
Parliament, the bill for the improvement of pauper luna-
tics in Scotland was read a second time, with the under-
standing that it should be referred to a select committee.
Sir G. GREY next moved the third reading of the Alien
Bill.

Mr. MowATT moved an amendment—that it be read a
third time that day six months.

The motion was supported by Sir G. Grey, Mr. Bro-
therton, and Lord J. Russell; the amendment by Mr.
Hume, Lord D. Stuart, Mr. Muntz, Mr. Ewart, Mr.
Cobden, and Mr. Bright.
On a division, the original motion was carried by 146 to
29—majority 117. The bill was then read a third time and
passed.
The house then went into committee on the Health of
Towns Bill, when Lord Morpeth stated that the Govern-
ment would consent to make some alterations in the mea-
sure, as suggested by Mr. Henley, after which an irregu-
lar discussion was kept up for some time, but no progress
of any moment was made with the bill.
