Sattteday, February 7. The House Of Comm...
Sattteday , February 7 . The House of Commons sat last night for five hours . Various subjects were brought before it . In reply to a question from Lord Dudley Stuart , Lord John Exts-SEliL admitted that the account given by the newspapers of the outrage inflicted on Mr . Mather , in Florence , by an Austrian officer , was in themriirt correct ; that Lord Grianville had ordered an inquiry , whieli was now proceeding / and that Mr . Mather , undoubtedly , had a right to reparation . There was sdme laughter when Lord John Russell said '' that the Austrian officer , judging by the " ^ hape of Mr . Mather ' s hat / ' took him for ah " Italian Liberal . " In a committee of the whole House , it was resolved to grant a supply to her Majesty . .
Leave was given to the Solicitor-General to bring in a Bill for the Relief of Suitors in the Court of Chancery . Tins , measure provides for the payment of officials by salaries instead . pf fees ; abolishes several offices , reduces the salaries attached to others , transfers the charges for judges' salaries from the Suitors' Fund to the Consolidated Fund , and charges only on the former the salaries for administrative purposes . Leave was also given to Lord Seymour to bring in a bill for the better supply of water to the metropolis ; and to Mr . Mowatt to bring in a bill for the same
purpose . The difference between the two bills consisted in till ? , that while Lord Seymour only proposes to inspect and control existing companies , Mr . Mowatt would create a local body in tho metropolis representing tho inhabitants , and entrust both the supply of water and the drainage to them . Lord Ebkington thought that the plan propounded by Mr . Mowatt the sounder ; but Sir GEOitGffl Grey , while he did not oppose the introduction of Mr . Mowatt ' s bill , saw " peculiar difficulties" [ parliamentary slang ] in the wajr of adopting the principle of representation in this matter .
A smart discussion then ensued on tho ventilation pf the House , and the hot and cold blasts which found their way in there , to the great detriment ofthe health of honourable members . Mr . Osbokne moved that Dr . Reid be called to the bar ; and on a division , it was agreed to call him , by 55 to 24 . Dr . Reid was called in and examined . Ho said that the interior of the House was subject to currents of air from every sidty that blow hot one moment and cold the next : —
" On the first evening that the House met , floors wcrp torn off in some passages leading to tho House , from which gusts of air came into the House from every side . You might as well a ^ c mo to regulate tho winds and currents Of the Bay of Biscay as expect me to ventilate tho House , if tho doors and windows of the entrances leading to tho House are not placed under iny control . ( Hoar , hear . ) Tho second difficulty is , that there arc numberless chimneys surrounding tho House , which poison the atmoapherf by the carbonic acid they send forth . ( Hear , hear . ) There arc torrents of smoke coming into the House and its approaches from theso chimneys , so that tho Houstj stands in nn atmosphere of carbonic acid . "
• Ho also asked for protection against tho kitchen . ** Just now tho smolls from the dinners were blowing in at every moment . ( A laugh . ) He was sensible of them whero ho just sat ( below tho bar ) every timo thft door opened . These nuisances ho imclortoolc to nbato in two days at "a niodomto expeiifio . . , " Lord' SEYMOUii : What do yon propoaw to do for 300 / . P "
" Dr . Roid : To put tho lights on' a bettor footing , be ? ginning with those in tho gallery . Secondly ,, (; o put nil tho chimnoya , which at present blow torrents of sinoku into tho division lobby , on a bettor looting . Thirdly , to prevent foul air from issuing from tho vaults into tho house . Fourthly , to consolidate tho ilooring of tho principal vontilatiiig chamber . " He them withdrew , nnd after some dificusHJon , which niftdo it ' very-Obvious that Government wore oft-aid of sotting tho " doctor wul tho urclutoct by tho earn , " it
