of respiration , 110 , which is also near the usual amount of the season . In the week that ended May 15 , bronchitis was reported as having been fatal to 79 persons ; thereafter it declined , and the Uniformity of its rate of mortality during the four weeks that followed deserves notice . In the week ending 22 nd May , 50 deaths were referre d to it , in the next week 49 ; and in each of the two following also 49 . Pneumonia exhibits a decrease , having been fatal in the last two weeks in 58 and 43 cases respectively .

Sattjeday , June 19 . The House of Commons held a morning sitting , and advanced several bills a stage . In the evening , Mr . Horsman , with reference to a notice of motion , on the paper for the nomination of the select committee on the Frome Vicarage , said that , since the House had come to a vote upon this subject , with every desire to give effect to it , he had encountered difficulties in endeavouring to nominate a committee . There was no precedent , he observed , for laying before the House ( as Mr . Gladstone proposed ) heads or articles of charges , except where impeachment was intended and avowed ;
and he had no right , whatever might be his own views , to commit the 156 gentlemen who had voted with him to that course . There was another consideration to which the House would do well to attend—namely , that it would establish a precedent that no future case of this kind could be brought before Parliament unless it was to be followed by impeachment . At this late period of the session , considering the state of public business , there was no probability of his having an opportunity of nominating the committee ; and he thought it ,-therefore , better to state that , in
consequence of the difficulties thrown in his way , he did not think it his duty to move the nomination . Mr . Horsman recapitulated some of the details of the case , and cited authorities in , justification of his statement upon a former occasion respecting the alleged canonical obligation of the Bishop of Bath and Wells to institute Mr . Bennett within twenty-eight days * and observed , in conclusion , that the result of the late vote was an indication of the feeling of the House and the country , that whenever there were such abuses in tho church , there was a Parliamentary tribunal which would tako cognizance of the offence .
Mr . Gladstone observed that Mr . Horsman had upon this occasion discreetly abstained from referring to the whole of his charges . He had accused the Bishop of Bath and Wells of a deliberate violation of the law in not subjecting Mr . Bennett to due examination , in receiving him without a certificate , and in instituting him with haste and precipitancy for the purpose of defrauding the parishioners of their legal rights . He ( Mr . Gladstone ) had shown that the Bishop did examine Mr . Bennett , and that if he had not done so he would not have broken tho law- All accusations in that House should be grounded upon some definite basis ; and to the plea of Mr . Horsman , that he did not intend to impeach the bishop , he ( Mr . Gladstone ) answered , that it was his duty to have done so . If a
great officer of tho State , vested with judicial functions , was capable of a direct violation of the law , committed ( as charged ) with tho corrupt motive of defrauding tho parishioners of their just and legal rights , there was no case so proper for impeachment . But that Houso never entertained charges of this nature , mado in so irresponsible a manner , and with a disinclination to put thorn in a definito shape , or it would becomo a refuge of licensed libels and defamation . In all criminatory proceedings tho Houso had always acted upon tho ovidonco of nomo written document , either adduced in the first instance , or arising obiter in the course of inquiry . Upon this principle ho had done no moro than wlint was just in requiring that Mr . Horsman should wrlto down the charges ho proposed to prefer against tho bishop .
Sir W . I * . Wood entered at some length into details , puroly technical , in explanation of an opinion ho hud g iven upon a former occasion . Tho Ciunoeiaoh of tho ExonEQUiht interposed , and recommended that tho discussion , which was not altogother regular , should bo allowed to drop ; stating , on tho part of tho Government , that if Mr . Gladstone had inado tho motion * of which ho had given notice in tljo ovont of a committee being nominated—that tho charges bo reduced to hoad » or articlofl—they would have felt it their duty to support tho motion . Tho law in respoct to tho institution of clerks , ho added , was in an unsatisfactory state , and it would bo the duty of th

According to tho Ilorta Guardian , tho villages about Sohain , in Cambridgeshire , aro rapidly being dosor . tod by thoir littlo tradesman , small tenant f ' arraors , and labourers , some of whom aro emigrating ovory week , It appears that up to Saturday fast 120 public bills had boon introduced in tho present session , of which 20 had rocoivod tho Iloyal assent ; d 2 woro introduced by tho Dorby Ministry ( nOw in progrosn ) , 11 by tho liussoll Ministry ( now in progress ) , 31 by private momborfl of both Housos , and 22 billnliad boon withdrawn or rojectod . A humorous inutanoo of tho betting mania and its con-Boquoncos ia narrated in a lottor to tho Times : — " A friend oi mine , " saya tho writer , " arrived in Iiondon tho wook
before last at a fashionable hotel ; he was informed by his servant that the greatest consternation prevailed in the lower regions , as the waiters , and the porters , and the boots , had risked their accumulations , and lost them upon Hobbie Noble for the Derfey . The chambermaid , however , having fortunately some Yorkshire connexion , had escaped , the general crash , and had won seven pounds on Daniel P'Rourke . My friend instaiitly decamped , as he had no idea , he said , of the male servants paying" their debts of honour out of . his dressing-case ; and even if the house * maid had run , as the expression goes , jfcl p money by the Derby , he had . very great misgivings b \ y that she would lose back her winnings and something more at Ascot . As Ascot was near at hand he thought , very wisely , there was no time to be lost , and he repaired to a quiet lodging where the maid-servant was not acquainted with the merits of Daniel O'Eourke . "
